Copyright is absolutely too long, and I am saying that as someone who has significant income from royalties.

I would be for 10 years of automatic copyright, with the possibility to purchase up to X years more for a registration fee that would start very low but would grow to significant levels, so that only the most lucrative works stay protected after, say, 30 years.
The boost is not free though. You lose some quality, gain some vendor-specific artifacts, lose the ability to adapt to content, and the ability to trade time for compression ratio or quality.

Maybe it's for creating NFTs? Every one I've seen so far is hideous yet "priceless".

Like the old saying: During a gold rush, sell shovels.
Electronic devices of the 90's typically had a transformer at their input. That would then be rectified and put directly into the electronics.

Any voltage surge will get nearly all internal components.

Modern devices almost universally have a switched mode power supply (cheaper and better). They effectively isolate the low voltage internal components. A brief voltage surge impacts only the diodes and capacitor on the input of the flyback supply. It's far easier to design those to be resilient to voltage spikes.

I wouldn't bother with a surge protector for any device made after 2004. They will be fine from all but a direct hit, and even if they get a direct hit, probably replacing a single 5 cent capacitor will fix them.

That is a technical point about sleep. Replace it with coma, general anaesthesia, or short death followed by reanimation, and the argument stays.

Pre-Chesa at least, SFPD brought several cases in that were dealers at Civic Center station and Montgomery. I know that at least some of these cases folks were found guilty.

At that time at least, SFPD targeted dealers.

Courts have a lot of very picky formatting requirements, plus lawyers care a lot about presentation

Someone said once, a legal contract is a program that you run on a judge. So the formatting is as important as it is in a whitespace-sensitive language like Python.
One of my professors also taught an undergrad intro AI class. He told me a story about a student who got some of their goal conditions wrong, and later returned to find that they had trained an agent to lose at several board games with astounding efficiency, and that it was strangely impressive to watch how quickly it could lose to other agents, or to see how adroitly it could lose to a human player, even a willfully un-competitive one.

I lacked the imagination and experience at the time to recognize any implied object lesson beyond programming more carefully.
I can't speak about the LSP, other than that that sounds about right to me, maybe you have a lot of free ram or some extensions installed? I would expect the memory usage to be lower than that otherwise.

You can't really compare Emacs with VSCode here, among other things you can basically get vscode to run in the browser without many problems etc. It's like saying that one can edit text with nano which is 150kb, sure but that's only part of what vscode provides you.
My introduction to Borges was stumbling across this taxonomy of animals:

those that belong to the Emperor,
embalmed ones,
those that are trained,
suckling pigs,
mermaids,
fabulous ones,
stray dogs,
those included in the present classification,
those that tremble as if they were mad,
innumerable ones,
those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush,
others,
those that have just broken a flower vase,
those that from a long way off look like flies.

The mental boundaries that were broken as a result of this list...

You're repeating lies. CAA does not prevent muslims or people of any other religion from acquiring Indian citizenship. CAA + NRC is designed to strip citizenship from millions of minorities is spreading FUD.

Let's entertain this lie for a second. Even if this is indeed the case, it won't happen overnight. It will lead to mass civil uprising and likely the party in power will lose the election. The new government can reverse the legislation and put a stop to it. This is how democracy has worked in India for the past 70+ years.

What you describe sounds a lot like the PyTorch support before this announcement: You could download PyTorch from AMD's ROCm site or build it yourself for >= 2 years now and this worked very reliably. (Edit: The two years (Nov 2018 or so) are the ones I can attest to from using it personally, but it probably didn't start then.)

The news here is that the PyTorch team and AMD are confident enough about the quality that they're putting it on the front page. This has been a long way in the making, and finally achieving official support is a great step for the team working on it.
If your making 2k a week selling blow, but still risking robberies or cops that's an issue. That's when its time to move on to having the less than minimum wage low level guys working for you. If you are buying weight and handling re-ups then your already handling back end. Being a full stack drug dealer is not a long term proposition. If your doing 2k a week profit your moving a couple ounces of coke and ideally would have a couple cheap low level guys and a middle man that deals with them. The goal would be to just supply those middle men, but if your selling eight balls that probably is already the case. The real profit in cocaine is at the very low level where a $150 8-ball, gets cut to become 8 $50 grams, which turns into 6, $20 bags, that finally makes 10 $5 pieces of crack. If you control that entire operation and can go straight from the 8 ball to crack pieces your looking at greater than a 20x profit margin. Its going to require labor to cook and piece it out all day though. Because the only way you can sell those $5 pieces is to have a 24/7 presence on the street to serve the crack heads that successfully beg $5.
You're spreading FUD. Nothing you're saying is based in fact.

If it was normally distributed, it would be 100% - the percentile of a -12 year marriage. So it's surely very much not a normal distribution.
Even in countries without haggling cultures - in Ireland where taxis are strictly regulated and always have a meter, I several times have found myself forced to listen to the views of the driver, usually extremely racist/sexist/bigotted views, and as a frequent cyclist I've been nearly hit by taxis on many occasions, including one where I can only conclude the driver was intentionally trying to knock me off the bike. I pulled up next to him at the next light and told him through the open window that he nearly hit me, and he jumped out of the taxi and started pushing me and shouting at me (this happened in Dublin, of course). Crazy experience, now that I look back on it.

This kind of thing doesn't tend to happen with uber drivers, but it does seem that taxi driving attracts a certain type all over the world. Of course, I've had plenty of taxi rides with lovely friendly drivers too.

I don't see any reason to think it follows a bell curve; it has to be skewed way to the right, as it can't be negative. The question you're asking is more-or-less answered in eric4smith's link, on page 6. The answer depends on the year of marriage, and the data is from 2001, so for 20 years of marriage, it can only go up to 1980. The percentage of men whose marriage had lasted at least 20 or 25 years, by year of marriage, was:

20yrs 25yrs
1955 to 1959 76.2 72.3
1960 to 1964 66.1 62.3
1965 to 1969 62.1 58.0
1970 to 1974 55.8 52.9
1975 to 1979 58.4
Even if something like frozen desserts used the same amount of energy as NFTs, it's still not a good light for NFTs considering those frozen desserts probably support a large number of jobs, infrastructure, and at the very least some kind of nominal amount of calories (even if not very healthy ones).

NFTs might help some artists get money. That's not really as much of an impact.

So if we're comparing things, the full context needs to be included as well, not just some strawman of a magnitude.

And all of that being said, if the world decided that it would stop producing desserts, I'd probably be on board with it anyway, but the impact would be pretty large. If the world decided to stop supporting NFTs, not much would change (I suppose it could in the future, but based on their current trajectory it doesn't seem like that'll be the case).
Nice ... it would have been nice if the gear ratio was written out for the rope mechanisms.

At the root of this lies the problem that content, configuration and code is stored in one blurp (a single db). Never clearly bounded nor contained. Config is spread over tables. Usergenerated content (from comments to orders) mixed up with redactional content: often even in tables, sometimes even in the same column. Drupal suffers the same.

What is needed, is a clear line between configuration (and logic), redactional content, and user generated content. Those three have very distinct lifecycles. As long as they are treated as one, the distinct lifecycles will conflict. No matter how good your database merging is: the root is a missing piece of architecture.
I have to agree with the sentiment. Free markets aren't operated by reasonable people.
A well-meaning advice: it's great when TOC and a sample chapter is there (it's almost mandatory for me to consider a self-published book from an author I don't already know).

But that chapter shouldn't simply be the first n pages covering "what is ffmpeg", "where do I download ffmpeg" and "how do I install ffmpeg".

Show us a practical example what cool things I can do with ffmpeg. Your TOC is enticing, pick one of those things (OPUS or audio from waveform or whatever) and show that! Including the command line and your explanation up to it.

So far I have no idea whether you explain anything, or whether you're just listing "100 cool one-liners".

(The latter may also be fine, but I don't know what I'm buying here)
The article references a fishy source for its claims of the „astonishingly“ high carbon foot print. That web site „cryptoart.wtf“ does not site any source on how it derives its carbon foot print numbers.

Probably, they are derived from the claim Bitcoin consumed as much energy as Argentina. First of all, NFTs are minted on the Ethereum blockchain where mining is still much cheaper. Second, energy usage does not simply equate carbon foot print which is a function of geolocation and hardware efficiency.

However, I found a nice peer reviewed article on the estimate of Bitcoin‘s carbon foot print: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S254243511...

It’s from 2019 and states that the whole Bitcoin blockchain emits the carbon dioxide equivalent of Kansas City.

I am not aware of similar analysis on Ethereum but I guess one could use the Bitcoin number and scale it down quite a bit.
The fact that this is uncontroversial to a lot of people mostly just shows how intellect-focused our society has become. Plenty of other value systems treat the Self as the entire body, not merely the head. Perhaps if we did too, we might not have so many issues with obesity and drug abuse. Dualism has consequences.

I once read someone describe academics as “floating heads with bodies attached.” I think that could apply to society at large.
Pre Uber the taxi drivers in Amsterdam were similarly as awful and I don’t remember the Dutch being exploited any time recently.
So, lets think, we have following issues:

- Climate change

- Artificial general intelligence

- Biotechnology risk

- Ecological collapse

- Molecular nanotechnology

- Nuclear holocaust

- Overpopulation

- Global pandemic

- ...

Most of them caused by way we use our energy and time.

Oh, yes we also have excess of computing power ... hm what shell we do?

Solution: Let spend even more energy on large calculations in order to create meaningless random numbers.

You should say no to a purchase.

Wife and kids will all melt down if you say no.
The last meltdown ruined a weekend.

The purchase isn’t that big a deal. But it’ll make other important bills late.
But if you say yes, it’ll encourage the behavior. But you will also have a few days of peace.

Knowing the right thing to do, and having the energy and will power to follow through are very different things.

>NFTs are going to be more like Kindle books and YouTube videos. The vast majority are going to have ten views, not a billion. It’s an unregulated, non-transparent hustle with ‘bubble’ written all over it.

Some people will called Seth have no clue about technology or don't know what's he talking about, blah blah, but I think this is more about human psychology & behavior(also, greed) than technology, like any speculation game. History will repeat itself regardless of technology.

> I think there are good reasons to believe this is not generally how the writers of Star Trek thought the transporters in their stories were supposed to work, but they weren't always perfectly consistent on the subject.

I remember one episode of one of the TV shows (I forget which one), they used a transporter to transport a bomb off the ship, so it detonated in space instead. If transportation is converting matter to information, transmitting the information, then reassembling it at the other end, why would one bother doing that to a bomb? Just do the first step of converting matter to information, and then instead of transmitting it and reassembling it somewhere else, just send the information to /dev/null

(I think if someone was designing a bomb, in a situation in which such technology was known, they'd try to design it so that any attempt to dematerialise/transport it would detonate it instantly.)

Story time combining all of these + more:

H₂S is a horrible thing to get in contact with. I was working for Oceaneering on a diving job just off the coast of China. Next to us a Chinese vessel with their diving crew that was trenching. They've been there long before us and sending divers down on nitrox or air and had them decompress in the chamber on their ship's deck (which alone was insane considering the depth). We noticed they had heavy helicopter traffic and rotated crew out on an unusual high frequency. Nobody on our crew knew what was going on over there nor that they had every diver returning "bent".

Our vessel was meant to do inspection and minor repairs on an oil well literally next to them and we had sent our own divers into the saturation chamber to start diving the next day. We had no warning from the Chinese crew anchored not far from us and who must have known shit is on fire considering they've been rotating out their sick divers every couple days. A few minutes into the job our diver returning from the lockout to the bell complained of headache and a foul smell. We brought the bell back up with our divers in it and docked them back onto the "Sat system". The moment the bell got lifted out of the water we noticed the rotten stench. Not only did both guys immediately faint the moment they made it back into the chamber but also the crew docking the bell back onto the system got sick (headaches lasted several days and puking their guts out). Our divers who were still inside the chambers needed to be decompressed which would last close to 4 days at that depth. Under normal emergency procedure a "Med" would be sent into the chamber to help them in case first-aid was needed. But given that the inside of these chambers now were contaminated with H2S we just had to hope that they don't die. We had to slow-down our normal speed of ascent laid out by the decompression table since even with normal procedure our guys were also starting to show symptoms of the bends on their way up. So instead of 4 days decompression time the guys suffered for a whole week before we could get them out and choppered to the hospital.

Both our guys survived but were severely ill for a long time. One was in a wheel chair for a few years and never fully recovered though.

Whether it's actually _designed_ with those languages in mind is a different question. VBA (in)famously was also translated for non-English versions of Office, but that only involved replacing the keywords by translated ones in the other language. German VBA read _very_ weirdly to me, back then.
It took 15 years from the first versions of Context Free Art to get to this point of evolution in that kind of experimental proposals. It's interesting anyway, a cool/creative hobby (I think no more than that)

This just sounds like when the script is run, a lock is taken. It seems like a pretty fast and loose definition of "atomic" (as in, not the ACID sense), as it says below:

If a fatal error is returned, the channel program may have not executed at all, may have partially executed, or may have fully executed but failed to pass a return value back to userland.

If an external tool is allowed to acquire this kind of exclusive lock, I don't see the difference.
The author starts talking about the existence of backdoors in pretrained models and begins by giving an example of a model called CLIP and some of the things it mis-identify.

When the example finally reaches a point about backdoors and security, that point has nothing to do with the model itself, but is a general complaint about the internet of things.

Is it possible to build backdoors into pretrained NN-models?
Unpopular idea here (from a hobbyist programmer).

I would "kill" for a text editor/IDE/REPL shaped as a spreadsheet where each cell is a block of code with 2 possible views (text or result) linkable to other cells. This "spreadsheet" would be programming language agnostic (each cell could use a different language) and I could organize/format my cells (location, colors, size, etc) as I wish.
Cf. https://xkcd.com/221/
Yes and no. If they minted multiple within the same block then yes. If not, then proof of first minted NFT could be verified by block height.
I hate this requirement (and other similar ones). They force the crystallisation of architecture long before the concepts they model have them selves had time to fully crystallise.

You inevitably end up having to shotgun edit a bunch of files (that could have been one file) to re-architect stuff when it changes.
