You do realize that everyone has their own opinion on what is good and bad right? I cant believe how naive this statement is.
Seems like a general concept. The concept of government is actually a forceful limitation on the powers that would be exercised in a state of anarchy. Otherwise theres no distinction between ‘government’ run by a dictator, and anarchy with a singularly powerful individual. Of course the distinction can be rationalized away further in terms of collective power until the only thing left is a theocracy. But practically, .... actually I don’t know anymore.
Since you obvious don't know what unix philosophy is, it's a md writer..that's it, you want to convert it..take a converter like pandoc. If you really think every writing program should have it's own converters..well then you end up with less interchangeable stuff. One tool for Writing another one for conversion..is that so complicated?

In site moderation it's basically a guarantee that you'll wind up with an extreme echo chamber, people self select in or out the site based on the content of that site. Unless your user group is extremely broad based and siloing is good enough that people aren't driven off the site by extremists then the group of moderators you select from is inherently pretty ok with the content of the site. It has a chance to work in the real world where the same self selection effect is moderated by other factors.
You can still download the zip file of the repository through archive.org.

And there is no direct link (took a quick look) to copyrighted content in the source code. If they shutdown the main site, without a data backup, the code is useless. Users will have to re-upload and re-seed the torrents they have.
Yeah and "building my own editor that's just right for me" is a tempting next level procrastination.
> This is probably what makes this complaint possible.

What makes this complaint possible is that the MPA blatantly expands the scope of copyright, counting on their large legal budget and the skewed possible consequences to discourage people from fighting back.

The MPA doesn't care whether this repo actually infringes on their copyright, nor whether the DMCA allows them to issue a takedown request. They only care that this will hurt people who oppose their interests and that there is little practical recourse.
This is why Netflix was great, it showed the TV world they were doing it wrong by having 100's of services rather than one with everything.

Now people want a cut of Netflix pie and making the same mistake again.
True and it's actually possible to use any tools you want as it supports local directories of markdown files (I use git to version my writing) but the product does not target at a technical audience but writers in general and their cloud sync is pretty well implemented. I like their cloud sync for the ability to sync with ios devices without doing anything in particular.
I suppose I have picked the wrong time to start reading more of the "serious" stuff on the Internet and offline. This article would have been ok except for the totally random mention of blackface which read like a fulfillment of the current editorial house rules than an organic part. Of course the kicker is the mention of "forty-five" because you haven't written something of substance until you make some sort of oblique reference to him.
You can click to reveal those if you want.

It runs each image through a variety of prompts including screens for racist symbols, nsfw drawings, and nudity. If you send me a link to yours I can let you know what it tripped up.

(One of our heuristics is "is it closer to nudity than to the prompt" so if it wasn't a good representation of the prompt it could be more that it was far away from the target vs being particularly close to the nsfw target.)
No, but GHE is paid software. And not like it's impossible to migrate, it's just a fancy git frontend after all. Gogs/Gitea/Gitlab CE is completely capable of doing what it does.

From the complaint it sounds like this repository doesn't just contain the code of a tracker, but also of a torrent search/indexing site (similar to the pirate bay website). The urls listed as infringing seem mostly be related to this website, not a tracker.

I think the argument is that nyaa.si is clearly designed for piracy, and the code is specific to that website evidenced by its url being embedded all over the codebase.
Exactly.

Thinking about this starts to border on paranoia, but if the document is written by a sufficiently determined organization, it's all possible.
This is off topic, but I can't get over how professional those protest signs look, especially given that this was before high availability of at-home publishing software, on-demand printing services and the like.
The fact that he's allowed to walk free in Germany is a failure of German justice system.
I understand that, but those files do not show that the repo is preconfigured to host copyrighted files. I don't get what the search XML or database migration is supposed to prove for example.

All they have demonstrated is that it is the source code for nyaa.si. I don't get how that is enough to do anything.

Your capacity for patronizing comments is noted.
What are the verifiable facts again? Do you have alternative statistics because they're actually on the FBI website and contradict everything you're saying. The riots were most likely political AstroTurf before an election via amplification of convenient (and unfortunate/terrible) imagery to turn out voters. I hate to be stone cold but that's my understanding of what unfolded. We witnessed something similar in 2015.
Encrypted radios. Any radio store will sell those, IDK why the rioters skimped on that.
Maybe we need a new book called 2084 then

This looks to be the integration test: https://github.com/delta-io/delta-rs/commit/09d345e52ca3177d...

I'm not sure why the author thinks this required putting the credentials in the code itself. Heck, I'd argue that this integration test should be setting up the bucket and contents as part of the setup for the test itself, pulling the credentials from some sort of secrets manager.

This is why decades ago you could buy blank CDR media designated for "music" at a slightly higher price. They are identical to "computer" CDRs, but the seller pays a fee to the copyright office.
I agree with most of what you say, except that AMD was also technically superior during these last years.

Intel certainly has the potential of being technically superior to AMD, but they do not appear to have focused on the right things in their roadmaps for CPU evolution.

Many years before the launches of Ice Lake and Tiger Lake, the enthusiastic presentations of Intel about the future claimed that these will bring some sort of marvelous improvements in microarchitecture, but the reality has proven to be much more modest.

While from Skylake in 2015 to Ice Lake in 2019 there was a decent increase in IPC, it was still much less than expected after so many years. While they were waiting for a manufacturing process, they should have redesigned their CPU cores to get something better than this.

Moreover the enhancements in Ice Lake and Tiger Lake seem somewhat unbalanced and random, there is no grand plan that can be discerned about how to improve a CPU.

On the other hand the evolution of Zen cores was perfect, every time the AMD team seems to have been able to add precisely all improvements that could give a maximum performance increase with a minimum implementation effort.

Thus they were able to pass from Zen 1 (2017) with an IPC similar to Intel Broadwell (2014), to Zen 2 (2019) with an IPC a little higher than Intel Skylake (2015) and eventually to Zen 3 (2020) with an IPC a little higher than Intel Tiger Lake (2020).

So even if the main advantage of AMD remains the superior CMOS technology they use from TSMC, just due to the competence of their design teams, they have passed from being 3 years behind Intel in IPC in 2017, to being ahead of Intel in IPC in 2020.

If that is not technical superiority, I do not know what is.

Like I have said, I believe that Intel could have done much better than that, but they seem to have done some sort of a random walk, instead of a directed run, like AMD.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your offering. Genuinely!
... whether a country's media institutions can ask Facebook and Google to pay.

They can ask --- and Google/Facebook can refuse --- by de-listing these "media institutions" from search results.

Sound fair?

But this is not what is happening here. Australia is making Google and Facebook a mafia style offer that they can't refuse.

The only way to avoid paying is by leaving the country altogether. This is where it becomes a "free trade" issue.

What they are proposing is essentially a tariff --- a unique, special, unavoidable and highly targeted tax on these particular US companies just to legally operate in the country.

All this aside, what is really happening is Murdoch wants a cut of their profits without having to compete for it.

There is distaste for clan-like behaviour even when no crimes are committed. For example, most westerners would not like to work in an organisation where your family connection to important people is valued over your work. Few would accept their choice of spouse being greatly constrained by what their grandfather thought was good for his little empire.
I don't buy the pattern of this argumentation which is basically:

"We did something like X a century ago, so X is not chilling new trend; X is quite okay."

It doesn't take much imagination to substitute various behaviors for X.
Yeah, but then you're auditing more pieces (is the gateway logging? is it mirroring traffic?).

Route53 is also tricky, because you will need to prove the whole chain from your namesever. It won't even work for domains registered outside AWS, because you could have a second NS listed and that needs special treatment to catch.

Using the Lambda execution endpoints (the ones that look like https://API-ID.execute-api.REGION.amazonaws.com/STAGE) avoids a lot of these concerns.
Pirate Radio stations & new LPFM are primarily illegal because Clear Channel/iHeartRadio cannot profit & control the flow of information as well as they do when they have competition. The things Clear Channel hosts, especially on AM, are not even very much different from calling for an attack on the Capitol, having listened to 20+ years (unfortunately) of Rush Limbaugh my grandfather was listening to. You can contact a lot of people on Amateur Radio or CB radio, but it's not illegal because it doesn't compete with big business.
If you define determinant as volume, how do you define volume? I agree that it's pedagogically sound to motivate the notion of determinant by the volume of a parallelepiped, but using volume as the definition of determinant just doesn't sound right.

And strictly speaking, determinant is not volume because the former is dimensionless. It is the scaling factor of the volume when a geometric entity is transformed by a linear map.

> and not by iterating over all of it

Lua's length implementation is a big complex iterative search because "length" isn't even defined as the length of the object but rather the length of the first contiguous sequence of non-nils, so good luck applying that premise!

The "length" function in Lua is an extremely annoying footgun, but nothing you said is an argument for indexing non-arrays starting from 0.
While there is vendor lock in with those services, it also has nothing to do with what CPU you are running. At that layer, CPU is completely abstract.
"preconfigured to find and provide infringing copies" goes way beyond a mere claim of being the codebase.

I cannot wait for people smarter than I am to contribute to this conversation. I have so many questions, among them, what is the modern equivalent or is it in continued used to this day? I wrote a massive amount of code in assembly for my compiler back in the 80s and this would’ve been really sweet to know about.

If it has been kept over for compatibility purposes, I would like to know whether it has been completely superseded by other instructions or if it still has a place in cogeneration.
I think the assumption is true in this case, that "their clients are invincible / above the law." - they can lobby to create the laws themselves (which is what they did to create the DMCA in the first place) so they are in effect "above the law"
>but using Windows and being so anti-Apple blows my mind

1. I'm allowed to use whatever I want and have opinions you might not agree with.

2. I don't know why you're attacking me, I was never anti Apple in my original post (Did you even read it? Because it sounds you're making stuff up), I just said their ecosystem is not for me but I understand why it's appealing to the masses.

>but you use Microsoft Windows, which is horrible for privacy

As opposed to Apple's telemetry and OCSP keeping tabs on whatever you run via non-unique hashes you can intercept on network traffic and find out what apps users are running? Plus their participation in NSA's PRISM bulk collection program?

Oh yeah, that sounds great for privacy, you should give them more of your data.

I dual-boot windows since Linux doesn't play well with Nvidia Optimus on my laptop, so for games I go to Windows where I can run my videogames on whatever hardware I want from whatever vendor I choose and run whatever software I want, no matter how old, as long as it's an X86 binary while on Mac I can only run what Apple allows me to run and only on their own hardware which is fine for some people but not for me.

Same with Android, it's not without issues, but I can choose to sideload whatever app I want, disable whatever service I don't like, all without needing Google's permission.
Plus, I'm spoiled for choice in terms of hardware vs being locked in to a walled garden I have no control or say in. And last but not least, I can install a system wide ad-blocker, watch youtube ad-free and stay safe and ad-free on the minefield the current web has become.

Windows and Android are not perfect but they allow me more control over what HW and SW I can use vs Apple.

Peace out!
I cannot agree with OP more.
ML model code itself is too often seen as documentation for a paper, in the sense that authors implicitly expect users to go through the pre-processing pipeline to find the actual implementation steps.

This is because the data handling and pre-processing nitty gritty is not actually interesting from an academic perspective.

I cannot count the times I went to look at a paper's implementation source code on a benchmark dataset to find it cut-off annotated sequences to a fixed max length, essentially turning it into a different dataset making comparison to previous work invalid.

Good documentation costs time, time academics don't have.
I'd also love to hear the answer to this, especially having moved to a new city after school where I didn't know anyone ahead of time. Grad school looks real tempting these days, at least once everything's back in person.
The idea that you can do so is pretty fundamental in politics. It's how the federal government justified the US Civil War, for example, and how the Founding Fathers justified a lot of things that tend to get glossed over in grade school history books.

The debate ultimately hinges on sympathies. For someone who wholeheartedly supports BLM, the riots might be regarded as something that was regrettable, but also understandable. In the words of Martin Luther King, "A riot is the language of the unheard." The observation also works in the direction of the Capitol insurrection. The rioters were there because they believed that their opinion on the election was not being heard.

Deciding which group had more grounds to be angry is left as an exercise for the reader.
Do you believe it should be legal to make death threats, print libel and slander that harm a man's reputation, spread around pictures taken of others in the shower without their consent, and publish stolen personal information?

If not, then you do not believe in absolute freedom of speech, but only freedom of speech within the confines of the law.
People are free to use whatever platforms they want, you can't force the masses to use alternative platforms. Besides, the landscape is already very diverse, but the most popular platforms will always get the most media attention, it's not like using FB precludes the use of any other platform, most people who are active on social media are active on multiple sites. This just isn't a problem.

Seems like every time big tech went in front of congress- it turned into a public fishing expedition for lobbying dollars.

Democrats overwhelmingly called for censorship and regulation.

Republicans overwhelmingly complained of unfair treatment.

Big tech responds by preemptively censoring and regulating content.

I believe that regulation is coming with dems in total power. Regulation will be written and paid for by big tech as a means to consolidate regulatory capture.

I think you're right, it's indirect bribery. I doubt anything will be done about it.
This discussion reminds me of the Alloy[1] language and the associated analyzer.

The analyzer transforms an Alloy model and some formal statement about it (e.g. "a caller can never connect to callee without the callee's consent to that caller connecting") into a giant SAT problem, which it feeds to a SAT solver looking for counterexamples, which it can map back to a series of valid state transitions in the original model.

Very cool stuff, at least 20 years ago when I was playing with it.

Even among qualified people the ones that are so dedicated to the art of pontificating online that they feel compelled to blog about their ideas tend to also be the rabidly absolutist ones who's advice you should take with a grain of salt.
Maybe we're approaching this from different angles/aren't on the same page.

I was looking at this through the lense of free speech/censorship.
I like this. One thing I think that complicates matters is companies and teams that adopt SOME engineering principles but not others. When the chips are down I find that QA and Writing tests go out the window to a certain extent in favor of "just get it done". That's not something I imagine happens in "real world" engineering especially when lives and safety are at stake.

The other piece of this is that often I think Engineers are planners and not doers. They make the spec, do the match to figure out the tolerances, etc. Then some other people build the bridge or machine the part or whatever.

In software "engineers" are both planners and builders which seems like a weird mismatch of skills. The people who are better at building than planning get labelled hackers, the people who are better at planning and testing and verifying are labelled engineers.

Fun fact: In Canada you cannot call yourself an engineer unless you actually complete an engineering program and join the brotherhood of engineers or something. They have promise rings and a secret handshake.

Not exactly. They had a test that saves a file from YouTube that was "protected" with some tech a lawyer might quality as DRM. YouTube only uses that thing for copyrighted materials.

Torrents don't have anything like that. You don't have to deal with anything copyrighted to test any related stuff, be it client, tracker, or web server.

Bad lockdowns are bad, yes. Good lockdowns have had amazing impacts in many places.

Australia is a good example. Victoria had out of control community spread (~100 infections a day), so locked down for 3 months. This meant no visitors at home, no going to work unless one of a few specific reasons, no general retail, masks mandated at all times outside the house, no travelling more than 5k for any reason, no travelling for exercise.

They got rid of it. This is what lockdown means. This is what the science shows us is effective. Wearing a mask and office jobs being done from home is not a lockdown.

Saying badly implemented lockdowns don't work so why bother is the attitude that is killing thousands of people a day.
Right. I think it ignores the importance of the data when building a model. Even great data can lead to difficult modeling scenarios. The premise that a “solution” can guarantee (or even partially guarantee) to be useful is misleading.
Its not. Everything else is.

Although, on more thought, it is better even as parsing engine as you have system design rules enforced across tools and OSes. Even single tool may work differently depending on *nix flavor.
