> The GPL ... has nothing to say about usage.

The GPLv2 text:
" The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). "

Of course this sentence contradicts the previous sentence in the text, which claims that normal usage "is not covered by this License". I presume you'd argue to support your claim, but seriously, this is bad drafting.

"penalties for violation", "expected compensation" are not necessary requirements for formation of a contract. The pre-agreed terms are clearly stated in the license text, or at least as clear as far as they don't contradict each other. By the way, "pre-agreed terms" are not necessary for the formation of a contract either.

Are you trained in the law? Because if you think the Internet should pay regards to somebody trained in the law (even though they may not have learned the law properly) as opposed to somebody who hasn't, then I don't see why you think you have a standing to speak as though you're an authoritative source on the matter.

> All of our wars since WW2 have been wars of choice. The survival of our nation hasn't been at stake

As if any of the world wars had the US' survival at stake. Being separated by other powers by oceans on both sides, and having enormous amounts of resources and manpower meant that the last time the US was at any legitimate threat was 1812.
I would say yes it's now possible to do analytics without cubes, except when butting up against two things:

* Really big data (~ PB/day), which makes it impractical to process every analytics query by going back to the source

* User data subject to GDPR-like retention constraints, where you cannot usually hold on to the base data for ad long as you need analytics for

WiCluster: Passive Indoor 2D/3D Positioning using WiFi without Precise Labels
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.01002.pdf

"We propose a novel dimensionality reduction technique that uses cross-dimension and multi-scale clustering to preserve local and global structure. Combining this with representation
learning we can generate a 2D/3D latent-space that is topologically close to the real space and can be used for zone-level classification already. We demonstrate that by incorporating some real-world measurements we can transport this to a Cartesian map. As a result we are able to predict precise
2D or 3D positions for a single person in a realistic indoor environment, without using any precise position labels during training."

Thanks for the honest inquiry, I’ve been responding between sleep cycles and my responses has been more combative than necessary.

My main grief with his exploration (and the reason for trying to dig out his thesis) is that gifted folks, which I think are over represented in this forum, are going to ascribe all their malaise to their giftedness. Which is a very misleading and harmful but also attractive proposition to buy into.

I’ve suffered from this personally after more than a year and $40k wasted with a particular highly credentialed therapist that insisted on blowing sunshine up my hole by trying to explain away every single element of my suffering with giftedness. After switching to a no bs, equally credentialed therapist, and actually making progress, I was furious to realize how much of that was a collusion in lazy thinking and not doing the hard work of personal transformation.

Back to the author, this guy made a career out of the notion of gifted children, so I don’t think he is merely presenting a story. He is trying to persuade an audience on this thesis. But how can we discern if he got the credentials because he was right vs because there was a high demand from parents and people alike to hear that their problem was “just being gifted”?

Hence my digging up the trait theory and trying to poke holes otherwise. I would wager, admittedly with no authority, 90% of the gifted folks in “existential depression”, excluding immediate environmental factors, are simply suffering from being unequipped against the meaning crises of our times. They are under-educated, under-connected and under-spiritual, in general under-participating in life, just flowing with whatever movies, politics, articles come their way to make sense of things without exerting any will to get to the bottom of it and do their homework.

> The bigger problem here is that proof of stake is actually a misnomer because doesn't actually provide proof, period--it's a consensus algorithm, not a proof algorithm.

From peercoin (first pos coin) whitepaper: "Roughly speaking, proof-of-stake means a form of proof of ownership of the currency."

> But if you're only connected to two nodes and those two nodes are showing you two different spends of the same balance, you have no way to resolve that conflict. In PoW (a real proof algorithm) you simply look at the longer chain.

From the same whitepaper: "The protocol for determining which competing block chain wins as main chain has been switched over to use consumed coin age. Here every transaction in a block contributes its consumed coin age to the score of the block. The block chain with highest total consumed coin age is chosen as main chain."

I mean, looking at it it seems that your main complaints were actually addressed some 9 years ago in the first PoS whitepaper.

So what’s the benefit of teaching CRT? If the Republicans or Conservatives are so outraged about it, but “nobody is really teaching it” why bother with it? Why not just say “oh we won’t reach this” and then Republicans can’t complain?

I keep seeing this argument come up. Republicans/Conservatives freak out and say you can’t teach CRT, etc. but then Democrats/Liberals go no no no we aren’t teaching it just talking about it and then they just keep going in circles. If they’re not going to teach it why are we still talking about it? If it’s an obscure theory that won’t be taught why keep bringing it up? It’s clear Republicans/Conservatives are having a reaction so what’s going on? Why are they banning something that won’t be taught, and why do Democrats/liberals keep talking about implementing it?
While doing my initial research, I stumbled upon a patent [0], where Motorola was listed as the applicant, it seems to be similar in concept to the current sensor hub implementation.

It also mentions "training" and more advanced processing (which would be ideal for the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP, shame it's practically unused on non-Pixel phones).

It's just to cover their butts if it comes up in court. License agreements are extremely weak and often not worth the bits they're displayed with.
When working with real-world statistics? Absolutely, there is no reason to believe that this assumption holds.

But the context is randomized (quantum) algorithms, where this is trivial to guarantee.
Was there really "US plan"? The memo says it's "informal report", "this crude preliminary investigation". It seems to just one person having an idea and doing crude back on the envelope calculations. The memo was probably part of Operation Plowshare, trying to find civilian uses for nukes.

Project Chariot on the other hand was almost implemented. The original plan was to simultaneous explosion of 5 nukes to create artificial harbor in Alaska.
It feels like there is the premise of an incredible TV show in there somewhere.

Unfortunately, at first glance, there doesn't appear to be much overlap between the cultures of Silicon Valley and Westminster, which we might call "two nations divided by a common language", or the difference between "move fast and break things" and "move slowly and break things".

Having said that, if the Dominic Cummings plan of a "British ARPA" goes ahead, that could prove to be a comedy gold mine for some good satirists. Such a TV series would only need to take some inspiration from "The IT Crowd" and the "Q" character from James Bond, and it would become an instant hit.
If the number of transactions is small enough to query quickly, a simple SQL query will give you that. If the number of transactions is very large, querying a random sample of perhaps 1 in 1000 will give you reasonably accurate results. You can calculate the probable error from the sample size.

There are questions which require examining all the data, but often you don't really need to.
This will be interesting to watch.
Most obviously, the same things as its disadvantages:) With nc, you don't have encryption or authentication, which is good - faster, no keys to set up, no fingerprints to accept - and terrible - no transport encryption, no data integrity verification, no access control except for at the network layer. Also, slight difference in how you use them: scp operates on files, nc on streams. But you can just pipe over SSH, so that's not a big difference IMO.
At work, we have code that runs in the browser to fuzzy search a list of database tables. It was slow. I rewrote it to use tries as an index, and it performs two orders of magnitude faster. It also uses two orders of magnitude more memory, and returns unusual results in rare pathological cases.

"Faster" doesn't need to mean "faster by every measure", it needs to mean that it's faster in the ways that matter given the constraints of the problem and what the program is trying to accomplish. The author of the code seems to have been very clear that this was a proof of concept around perceived performance of a specific aspect of the application, and I can't think of how the really doesn't satisfy that.
If you have an electronic piano that requires a complex series of button pushes to produce copyrighted music - that's still a copyright violation. Copyright law has no notion that the difficulty of reproducing copyrighted content effects the fact of a violation.

If you search, you'll find that many are not disclosing numbers.

And among those that are, a decent number are finding ways to sidestep the requirement. For example: I saw a bizarre post for a single senior-level tech role. The range was outrageously broad, but the specific numbers were exact, something like $112,899 - $242,782 base salary.
I mean, such a system already exists when players do analysis of their matches. The thing that makes a move identifiable as a blunder is that a chess engine evaluating the board before and after the move.

It's also worth keeping in mind that you will sometimes see players match the best engine move 95% of the time or more at the 800-1000 elo's and they're not cheating, it's just their opponent is blundering and the next move is obvious.

So specifically, you have to find when players matched up with engine moves, where the engine decided on an optimal move by looking far into the future.
I come from a Protestant background and have always been very interested in reports of possession as a "proof" of a spiritual realm. It can't prove everything (and even the fact of possession can't verifiably be established as far as I've read), but it can present a powerful argument for forces at work beyond our scientific knowledge.
Your links got me very interested in Marian apparitions. Are there any other good sources you would recommend?
> they copied the general idea of what the algorithms should do. Do not go down this line of reasoning

Too late, patents pick up where copyright ends, to protect general algorithmic ideas, not just implementations. And we have lots of patents on things that seem trivial now, including for-loops (just see how many patents depend on “a multiplicity”). Look - here’s a helpful lawyer’s template for including for-loops as a claim in your own patents: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/recursive-and-iterative...

Another example is the famous XOR patent https://patents.google.com/patent/US4197590/en

The former. The situation in Lebanon is indeed becoming quite dier, any food people have is given/shared. The entire government resigned last year over the explosion. It's not a good situation for the Lebanese people and I'd imagine there are a lot of people who are currently dying and the situation will progress as you'd expect. DW (the german broadcaster) has done a lot of good reporting on it (youtube), I'd encourage you to check it out if you're interested in this. https://www.transparency.org/en/blog/cpi-2020-lebanon-system...
> I believe it's possible to keep an app's data on uninstall. It's not the default behavior, but that doesn't really matter in this case.

It's not and it does matter.

> And what does "legally mandating them" even mean?

Not sure how what's unclear about "legal mandate". If the law says, Google complies.

> The "security issues" exist regardless of this policy change - as I've already said.

They don't exist to the same extent, you repeating them doesn't make them more universal or true. Other vendors and forks exist, the simple existence of Google Play didn't mean every app is compromised by Google, now it will.

> Google could easily do whatever they want with your phone anyway due to control over system apps and the OS

Google doesn't control every vendor, controlling all signing keys is much easier than quite literally backdooring the OS for simply Google. There's a large difference in how visible any such malicious actions would be.

> As for "forced monetization", that's just reaching

Are YouTube's forced midroll ads "reaching" as well? There's no fundamental difference, they monetized someone else's content.

Controlling signing keys allows to simply patch the ads in. I'm not entirely sure why you don't see how it makes it easier for them.
RealWoW.
That's really good news, I hope it will calm down some people who were sceptical at first. I use Proton Mail for my tier 1 accounts such as banking, payment processors, tax etc. It played a big role when I abandoned Google services and products a few years ago. I still use Gmail but for tier 3 accounts only; which are those that I don't care about and can afford to lose tomorrow.
Yes but I don’t recall seeing any kind of breakdown that quantifies how much of the cost of infra is due to these lawsuits. I may have missed it though.
> Aren't "big" 3D circuits unfeasible due to temperature limitations, though?

Less so than you'd think, since (as long as you can keep leakage current under control) heat is only generated when the circuits are active (barring leakage current, when bits are being flipped). So you can have arbitrarily large amounts of increasingly-rarely-used circuitry for various purposes.

The naive-but-easy-to-understand example would be having separate, optimal circuitry for each machine instruction - the total number of gates is O(N*M), but the number of gates activated on each clock cycle (and thus the amount of waste heat generated) is only O(N), so you can keep adding new, perfectly-hardware-accelerated instructions up to the limits of physical space. In practice it's more complicated and less of a nonissue, but it's not "big circuits are useful in proportion to their surface area, not their volume", it's more "big circuits are less useful than their volume alone would suggest". (You do hit physical limits like the Bekenstein bound[0] eventually, but that's far enough out that we mostly don't care yet.)

nah. i'll take wifi hardware that doesn't have buggy layer 4+ features in firmware that hackers can exploit to turn my keystrokes into udp packets, thank you very much.

in fact, i think i'd prefer a computer that leaves all the layer 4+ up to the operating system as at least it has a chance of being audited.

that said, this raises an interesting point. the only way to really be sure is to sniff your own packets... but if everything moves to being encrypted that's going to get a lot harder...

You mean this TechDirt article?[1] It's advocacy. Not legal scholarship.

Their hypotheticals don't fit this case. And some of them are settled questions in the US. Courts consider intent all the time. Fair use factors include purpose and character. 17 USC 110 has an exception for receiving broadcasts. Columbia Pictures v. Professional Real Estate said hotel rooms are private. Apartments are at least as private. And driving means not staying in the same place for long usually.

It wasn't a few seconds. The recording shows the officer played over 2 minutes of the song. It ends with the song still playing.

The implication that software providers should be liable seems to reappear eternally here and remains misguided. Even when we're essentially discussing hardware here.

Software is the perhaps that area where "good" or "crappy" is most undetermined. A given piece of software can be bullet-proof today and a catastrophic hole can appear tomorrow. And even if the producer releases an update, there's no guarantee it will be picked-up.

Overall situation is that what's needed is standards of software use for those companies which actually do damage. Without standards, your use of "crappy" is meaningless.
An adult egg-carrying tick is one of the more disgusting things to see on a dog (top right one in [1]). It looks like a pimple or some weird skin blister if you don't know what you're looking at. And the removal can look awfully bloody depending on its location. Ticks are probably one reason dogs evolved to like being petted so much - it helps the owner find and remove parasites like this early.
