This is the first time I heard of this prediction market. Or, indeed, any heavily used real prediction market.

I wonder about two things:

1. Legality. Taking bets from Americans has landed other company owners in prison so I always wonder how they handle this on internet based gambling sites.

2. Oracle. Who decides who wins? It looks like it's decided by the company owning the platform. This seems a little dubious but maybe it works with the transparent nature of many of these sort of bets. Of course, they could always be in dispute.

The only information I could find on the oracle:

The biggest win versus something like petroleum is the versatility and commutability.

Let's pretend all of those things have awful trajectories, they don't, but let's pretend they do.

There's different battery tech such as organosilicon electrolytes, zinc magnesium, nanowire gels, sodium ion, there's lots of different ways of battery-ing and as long as you're getting the same electric profile, the devices honestly don't care in the slightest.

It's fundamentally a better approach

Isn't it more difficult to justify keeping it on when you can't trust devices not to, literally as the article shows, punch gaping holes in your network? 4 ports and if you didn't know too look...

At a bare minimum, if you MUST have uPnP, then those devices need to be on their own "unsafe" network with another network further in or next to it that has uPnP disabled.
I demoed the Loop (ironically, by tagging along for a DGA volunteer meeting) a while ago and couldn't get into it. Everything's just about right but then a Grandparent mentions the new NBA game when they were never previously into basketball (at least according to their profile) or says they're voting for X political candidate when they were a fervent supporter of the opposing party. It feels like advertising.

FWIW a cousin who's more paranoid about AI than I am talks to a deceased relative through the Loop and says it's great.
>you don't get better in your 80s in a meaningful way, since you aren't going to live forever.

A year or three is a long time at that age. Think about the milestones the grandchildren or great grand children of someone in their 80s are going through. They want to be alive to see that.
ACLU, a defender of digital privacy, shares user data with Facebook
I remember reading about people feeding old text messages with passed on friends into NNs and found the idea unsettling. I actually thought this was something like that but you're right, it's probably art actually. If so, kudos, this is great.
What's the 'good' state

In simple terms my understanding is, high biodiversity. More diversity is correlated with resilience, adaptability, etc.
There's been some interesting markets. The vaccine market produced some interesting models, and there's a few markets now on how many covid cases will be reported in various states and nationwide.

Sure. In most static type systems though, you would be importing the data into structures that you defined, with defined types. So you wouldn’t suddenly get a Decimal in place of a String just because the data was different. You’d get a type error on import.
Feasibly, couldn't this be because they don't want one person to completely drain an ATM requiring another re-ship/restock?
I almost look forward to the feds seizing large sums of bitcoin in the course of their investigations, because that seems to be the only time that there are consequences: when the evidence is mathematically provable and on a decentralized public ledger. Nearly without fail, a fed tries to steal the money - and is quickly caught. That almost never happens. I don't think the agent that totaled an impounded Ferrari F50 ever got anything more than a stern talking to.

happy to continue the conversations.

I don't hold this assumption that you name, and it's not a part of formalized music education. which actually does emphasize method and relationships, versus rote learning. I'm curious why you think anything else would be the case. how much exposure do you have to this world? I hear that you have worked with music teachers - in what context?

also, curious to understand how many of them were coming from a jazz background?

learning to read music on the staff has no relationship to 7 notes on a privileged scale, so I'm not sure what you mean here. no note is given priority over any other note, in any clef. what makes you think that sheet music locks someone into 7 notes?

I don't intend for this to sound condescending - how well can you read music? are you speaking about all of this from the perspective of someone who has read about reading music or someone who actually understands how to read?

your comments (and those that you refer to) seem to sound like those that deride reading music as some kind of crutch or limitation in music education. I see these amusing comments a fair amount on this website.

being able to read music is having an ability to speak a shared language. like English, but with a lot smaller alphabet and an incredibly smaller set of rules. it's funny to me the degree of resistance I hear to this from people who often want to "disrupt" this language without actually understanding why it exists in the first place.

to use an analogy from mathematics, students usually benefit from learning multiplication before learning algebra as a way to see examples of logic based symbol manipulation. theory is the algebra, reading music is multiplication. that's why theory is usually taught to people who have a rudimentary understanding of the language of music.
Even if I accepted that, and I don't considering you're talking about a medieval Catholic, they would have been part-and-parcel for Dante if my understanding of his views on politics and religion are reasonably calibrated.
Or it could simply mean toilets aren’t ubiquitous. Waste disposal is not a solved problem. A bottle is an elegant solution.

That is good, giving prisoners a big break to learn a degree in something and use it when they get released so they don't have to face the same hardships that put them in prison in the first place.
The report seems to indicate that the majority of that number came from one site.

I don't know about the legality, but they've raised millions in VC funding. I suspect they have some kind of plan. They don't hold your money, all they do is act as an oracle as you note, which might help legally.

So far there's not been any major issues with markets resolving incorrectly, across over $100M of total volume and dozens of markets.

Predictit is also heavily used but limits individual bets to $850 per market. They have an official no action letter from the CFTC, so that's all legal.

Did you read the same paper as me? They point out that inuit peoples survive on meat predominantly. They present fossil and evolutionary evidence that we ate meat exclusively when large prey were abundant. They present evidence that our gastrointestinal system is adapted to a carnivore diet and is very different from that of other apes. Really read it.

If you have some evidence that refutes their research into diets during the early Paleocene, please share. I’ve read plenty of articles that make the case for veganism as being better for the health of modern humans. There’s also nothing in this article that makes a case for a prescriptive modern diet or tells you what is healthy or better for the planet. Instead it is looking into diets of early humans.

The Pinephone is weird in that you'll need to either have or emulate a battery to have the modem turn on.
I don't understand how civil asset forfeiture isn't called stealing. Legal or not, the people doing it are no better than thieves and robbers. They should (probably) be socially treated the same way as well.

I'm afraid of death. Very afraid. I'm pretty sure we're just meat sacks and when my heart stops beating that'll be the end of all that I am, and that scares the shit out of me. Calling what I feel about death "fear" is almost a category error; it's a five-hundred-foot-tall Godzilla of dread looming just behind me always, and every so often I happen to think about it, I happen to turn and glance at it, and my stomach just drops. The realization that it's all going to end is the ultimate anxiety underlying all others.

So when I read something like this, it just seems... so alien. I can't imagine a pain or any feeling, really, worth wishing I was dead over. There can't be anything worse than death. There just can't. Pretty much any amount of bad is preferable to infinite nothing.

Maybe the scariest part is that one day, I'm afraid I might change my mind. I'm afraid I might be brought to a point where I think, "Ah, this is it. This is the feeling that's worth dying to escape". The only thing scarier than the worst fear imaginable is the unthinkable idea of a pain so unimaginable that it makes succumbing to that fear seem like a mercy.
Neither the seismic event nor the megatsunami caused a release of radioactive material into waters at Fukushima. The failing of cooling because backup generators were flooded in the basement, leading to an explosion did. After that, they've released contaminated water into the ocean that can no longer be stored on site. Mistakes were made at Fukushima, but what radioactive waste release from seismic events is not what happened, and has never happened.
Because "most ISPs" are actually wrong, it's "most American ISPs". In rest of the world, unless you're explicitly requested static IPs, your IPv4 (and IPv6) addresses are being rotated (usually either daily or weekly). There's a reason why dynamic DNS services are popular.

P.S. If your security paradigm relies on IP addresses being semi-stable, you need to overhaul it.
My favorite factoid in support of this is the "craftsman home" which is mainly a marketing thing that stuck into being a descriptive thing, not so much that they were high in craftsmanship.
if you spend your days design algorithms yeah but if you assemble vue or angular components I think it's much different.
“Real motive problem, with an AI. Not human, see?”

“Well, yeah, obviously.”

“Nope. I mean, it’s not human. And you can’t get a handle on it. Me, I’m not human either, but I respond like one. See?”

“Wait a sec,” Case said. “Are you sentient, or not?”

“Well, it feels like I am, kid, but I’m really just a bunch of ROM. It’s one of them, ah, philosophical questions, I guess...” The ugly laughter sensation rattled down Case’s spine. “But I ain’t likely to write you no poem, if you follow me. Your AI, it just might. But it ain’t no way human.”

it just occured to me that the data from the leak could be used to test if they are in compliance with the Gdpr, Now in the event that it turns out that they don't follow the rules, could this leak be used as evidence in court?
You say that, and yet you probably do still use perl/shell/other obscure tool that is rather old. In particularly, at the foundation layer.

Yeah, both my health insurance company and the company that eventually bought my mortgage have both sent me letters. And this point I just dump them in a folder in the filing cabinet with the rest.
I’m confused too. It reminds me of the Black Mirror episode “Be Right Back.” A woman’s husband passed away, and she uses a service that aggregates his social media to make a profile of him, so she can talk to him again in a convincing way.
That's still an organization that's too large or mismanaged to be trusted. We trust people who are capricious with their personal finances far less. A large organization with wealth impossible to humans but systems failing them and everyone else who depends on it... is a large corporation with wealth that has no excuse for not solving it.
I also think that there's no afterlife. Soon as the brain stops working, everything goes dark. Eternal peace. I find it comforting in a strange way.
The broad decline in software quality from Apple has been gradual but steady since Jobs’ death. MacOS has deteriorated severely as the video shows, but even iOS has some serious problems. As someone who switched from Android about 6 months ago it’s safe to say Android is a much, much better operating system in its current incarnation (I plan to switch back). iOS still has better apps, but I doubt that will continue to be the case in a couple years.
You sound young.

You will change your thoughts as you age.
Nike isn't a person. It doesn't have feelings or opinions or thoughts . Its existence is summed up by legal contracts which are obligations between the shareholders and the corporation and those legal contracts obligate the corporation to act in a fiduciary manner to create returns on the investments.

That's how I can tell.
Generally, you can consider this an application of Steganography, so searching for that should turn up a number of references showing off how it can be done. Most file formats have attributes where arbitrary data can be inserted without affecting the user’s interaction with the file (for example, making tweaks to the Least Significant Bits for the colors in a JPEG or similar image file).

While in the general case, steganography is discussed in the context of passing secret messages from A to B, watermarking uses steganography to hide a unique identifier that the document’s author can use later to identify whose copy of the document they’re looking at. So in a very basic scenario, the vendor might just shove “exikyut” into a non-visible object on the document, and then when they find the document published online, they check that object and see the username of the person who leaked it. Obviously in the real world, watermarking attempts to obscure the unique identifier’s placement and contents, such that it cannot be easily identified/removed, and so that only the vendor can match a document to its originating user.

I dived a few different areas two months ago in QLD and I was very sad to see a belched dead reef. I’m sure there are healthy parts but there are a lot of dead or dying parts too.

Australia is no longer my top country to dive - Indonesia and Philippines are far better.
Still no worse than some hash key that can be invalidated in the next version with a blacklist. At least a DRM key is something that NFTs are somewhat suited for.

For fuckery, there are still cracks.
You seem awfully confident of yourself, but I'd disagree with many of those perspectives. Just because you sound confident doesn't mean you are correct.

There is a reason there are 500,000 git tutorials that start with the basics of how git works, and still practically nobody understands git. Despite knowing the underpinnings of how it works practically required to be useful in git.

I agree the implementation matters from a data safety perspective, I mean Jepsen made a name for himself proving how terrible all the "distributed" databases suck(because it's a very hard problem to solve). But as a user, you don't usually have to care... unless it's git.

FreeBSD successfully used SVN for a long time without any major issues, as one example.

The principle of explosion!

To me, no greater proof of the existence of truth and the value of truth, and the concept of truth.

If you think "Well, maybe this truth thing isn't really necessary, things are all absurd anyways, isn't everything just an arbitrary construct?"

Well, assume me a falsehood and I will explode your world.

This is a great writeup and thank you for sharing with so much candor. You are light years ahead of everyone who has ideas and has not tried them and learnt the lessons.

You learnt experientially what most either never learn or a rare few learn from books like The Mom Test. Even compared those who read the book and get it, I fear it does not translate to a lived earned experience.

My grandfather is suffering from what I guess is intermediate onset of Alzheimer's. A couple of months ago he used to ask for my wife by name during every video call. During our last call he forgot that I'd gotten married at all.

It's terrifying watch him lose his memories week by week.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is incredibly difficult.

When Einstein was ill at age 76 and asked if he wanted to undergo surgery, he refused, saying, "I want to go when I want to go. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."

Quotation (related only because it's from Russell):

"The fundamental argument for freedom of opinion is the doubtfulness of all our belief... when the State intervenes to ensure the indoctrination of some doctrine, it does so because there is no conclusive evidence in favour of that doctrine .. It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions make it impossible to make a living."

Looking at one of the CI runs, they're mining between 2-4 cents of TRTL per 6 hour CI step, and running 98 steps per run. So around $2-4 per CI run.

GH hosted CI runs use Azure DS2 v2 instances. I'm not sure how GH is billed by Microsoft for compute, but the 3 year reserved pricing is $0.0405/hour.

So all up, that's around $2-4 of TRTL for $23.81 of compute.

Plus there's the real and opportunity cost of needing to assign engineers to try and prevent this from happening.
This is pretty neat, I wonder if something like this could work between python 2 and 3.

I know a guy that got resuscitated because when he went from hospital to nursing home he keeled over faster than the nursing home could get his papers through the process and the staff didn't know he had a DNR. The family was pissed about that but he walked out himself a few months later. He wound up back at that nursing home and died there, but that was 7yr later. There's a balance to be struck. You don't want a DNR unless you're serious about dying.

You’ve already experienced being dead for 13.8 billion years. And, it wasn’t so bad. Was it?

Dying looks like it’s probably not going to be fun. But, I’m not worried about being dead.
I couldn't agree more!

> I feel like if the Unix shell needed to be fundamentally reimagined, someone would have already done it. But they haven't.

AFAICT this has a lot to do with the fact that most people who'd be able to "reimagine" / fundamentally improve the Unix shell are also the people that are so intimately familiar with the shell and all its quirks that they don't see any need for improvement. It has always been that way, so it must stay that way.

In all fairness neither you nor the post that you're trying to back up have made a clear argument yet.
If you lose someone it hurts. But wouldn't trying to create a simulacrum of your loss just prolong the hurt?
