oh, typing this as a broke guy in mid 20s. had spent time in a room with people worth 8 to 9 figs too.

and i can tell you, even 0.01% of their net worth would give me hell of a good time for weeks, haha.

fuck. fffffuck.
That's out of date. They ran fiber down the Pacific coast when the highway was paved, and it doesn't cost that much to get a connecting line run to your house (source, did this a few months ago, have reliable symmetric 75Mb).

Power is a larger concern - in rainy season we've been having outages several times a week, though most are short. That will vary based on location.

In any case, if renting a house, check for fiber & check whether they have a generator or a few UPSes at least.
NAT is ramping up on client side. Many home-internet connections are now NATted twice - in CPE, then again in CGN.

On the server side, in contrast, NAT is winding down. 15 years ago, it was common to have either DMZ-style NAT, or on AWS you had to have NAT (they call it EIP). Nowadays, having a CDN or could-native load-balancer in front of your server is increasingly common. And behind those, that server just don't need a public IP (maybe only a shared outboud NAT for OS updates). That is - if you have a server at all (and not moved to lambda, S3, etc...)
yep I was about to say, first the UFOs and now this, turn the radio beacons off already
Type 1 diabetes really is the type that hits out the blue seemingly without explanation. It is not caused by obesity, poor diet, or lack of exercise. Type 1 is caused by the body's immune system turning round and destroying the pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin. There has been a lot of suggestion that this may be triggered by a viral infection that the immune system is trying to fight, but we're not 100% sure. It can hit at any age, although most commonly it tends to be in the teens and early twenties. Regardless, if your sister truly has type 1 diabetes (and it can often be misdiagnosed) then she has few to no working beta cells left, and it is entirely not her fault.

Interestingly, there is a stronger genetic component to type 1 diabetes than there is to type 2 diabetes. We can analyse a set of 30 or so locations in the genome and give you a score, which is how likely you are to trigger type 1 diabetes. Most of the score is based on just one region in the genome, the HLA region which controls the way your immune system distinguishes between self and enemy. A person with a low score can still get type 1 diabetes, but it is much less likely.

We know that to get type 1 diabetes, you need to be susceptible (that we can measure with the genetic test) but also there needs to be some kind of trigger. I don't think having a second child was the trigger, but something was.
There’s a certain subset of the populace who has decided the easiest way to spread their hatred of “the other side”, and of jews, is to blame george soros for everything.

A ycombinator funded ceo once told me that Soros was the reason his bad me-too rip-off of A Nord product failed because he had smack talked Soros online. Now the same founder has gone full-on Qanon and has been forcibly hospitalized several times due to schizophrenia.

Soros is basically the Mexican day laboror of Europe in how ultra right wing politicians blame him for all of their problems. Especially Orban in Hungary.

Under the cloak of secrecy and threats a faceless government is shaping major policy, breaking laws etc...

My only hope is that the biggest companies can speak up since they have a bit of a leverage. They can rally people behind them if the requests are borderline unethical, like spying on everybody.

> Thankfully not true in sane countries.

I'm not so sure about that. Do large-enough French companies supply their own Certificate Authority to all company computers (like all large corporations)? If so, then they're free to browse/search/store all https communications from any company machine, right?

The assumption is that employers and IT departments will always "follow the rules", but it's impossible to verify something like that. The way corporations would be "caught" would be from huge numbers of whistle-blowers but that's a risky career move for most IT workers.

The good news is IT departments and individuals generally don't care to spy unless there's something really high-value at stake and only then towards very specific "targets". With few exceptions, the vast majority of workplaces tolerate ordinary personal use of corporate computer resources.
> Then why can my friends who studied mechanical engineering get rich from patents? Did I choose the wrong education?

Because mechanical engineering isn't only math? Math is used of course, but that's true about essentially all professions. But yes, if there is some sort of a pure mathematical model/equation that could apply to mechanical engineering, I'm sure the GP would also agree that it should not be patentable.

The carbon emmissions of the internet are often simplified to more data = more carbon — making streaming video the worst offender.

Streaming video happens most on fast, more energy efficient networks — so I think we overstate it's effect, compared to say a website with lots of images and scripts hosted on different servers, and accessed over 2g.

I'd love to hear from anyone with experience in this area who can suggest a place to learn more.
That makes me realise there is an incentive for ISPs to hold out on supporting IPv6. If IPv6 was widely supported then their IPv4 blocks would be worthless. I wonder how many will be holding out on deploying IPv6 until they can offload their still-valuable IPv4 addresses.

This concept is alien to me. Finland has income tax that everyone pays and it covers everything. There is still VAT when I buy an apple at the store, but it's not there to pay for the road repairs for the car I drive. We have seperate car tax.

If you gain residency here, you are treated no different to a Finn.

This is ludicrous and a fault of your own gov. I presume you are US.
What you're describing is not randomness, it's independence.

It's hard to define randomness. I think non-determinism is better than your definition.

No, the ending seems completely in line with what the model does well. What is impressive about GPT3 is that it seems good at keeping track of really long-term dependencies in long sequences of text, giving the impression of being able to hold on to trains of thought, a problem that's plagued generative natural language models for quite a while. I suspect that this is part of why people who have been working in or following that field for a while hype it so much. It's a pretty mechanical result when I put it like that, but it's also something that used to make AI-generated writing extremely obvious, and now that one cue is less likely to give it away

It's also quite good at coming up with some good plausible items to continue a list with, which actually gets it into trouble in terms of sounding like human writing sometimes, like in the absurdly long list of body parts featured in one generative example

So that's why I think it was a pretty plausible generated ending, though of course it's curated here, so it might not have been the first thing the model came up with. The concept of "existing" as a verb had been developed multiple times in the essay as something the author felt she had lost when her sister died, and the thought that the author felt she didn't exist was often tightly associated with thinking about the loss directly in a way that's quantifiable without that sophisticated of a language model, so along with math, which makes sense if your list is of life skills broadly that you could learn from someone, the model bringing up "existing" when there was a convenient list of verbs associating with the sister is, while also a beautiful and fitting way to end the essay, exactly the kind of trick GPT shows itself to be quite good at
That's not true, for many people. If you increase choices then people often feel less happy.

Having more varieties of mayonnaise at the supermarket doesn't necessarily make us happier--it just forces us to expend energy choosing, or worrying that we've made the wrong choice. If there's just one variety then we don't have that issue and we're probably happy with the mayonnaise that we get.

True but a recurrence relationship is not the same as a closed form solution. The differential equation for a three body problem is also very simple.

Residence and “tax residence” are different things. There are countries where you can be considered tax resident even if you don't step your foot there the whole year (often it's something like you having your family living there, or your business registered there). Some countries can treat you as tax resident by default if you are a citizen, unless proven otherwise, which you'd have to do in court if tax authorities decide to insist and you decide to disagree.
Nowhere have I claimed that the NCMEC databases are entirely devoid of miscategorised data. I am merely pushing back at your evidence-free claim that "it's full of false positives."

Once again, you continue to assume that the MD5 collision cited was from a NCMEC corpus and not "other law enforcement sources". You're reading far more into your sources than they are saying.

And now you are conflating claims of false positives in the origin database with rates of false positives in a perceptual hashing algorithm. You are clearly very confused.

It seems like this conflates money laundering and tax avoidance, I thought money laundering didn't happen because people wanted to avoid taxes on the money, but rather they wanted people to not know the money was gotten illegally.

As I understand it money laundering, when it works, ends up making previously acquired illegal and hidden money available for taxation - at which point of course people start trying to avoid paying those taxes.
It's worth looking into the history of textile production prior to the invention of the spinning jenny and the industrial revolution (the first impact of which was to trigger an exponential drop in the cost of cloth). From a modern perspective it was just jaw-droppingly labour-intensive -- and so was the process of turning it into garments. (Which is still primarily manual, albeit using machines that can sew seams in minutes that formerly took days of hand-stitching.)

A good rule of thumb is that prior to the 19th century, a suit of clothes (mens or womens) was the equivalent of an automobile today in terms of status and ownership/maintenance costs as a proportion of income. Used garments were handed down, then dismantled and recycled as fabric for simpler/smaller clothing, and ultimately ended up as rags (which could be used for cleaning, paper-making, menstrual pads), still valuable in their own right ...
I don't see it as a terminology problem, I see it as an appeal to emotion argument. NY has to have some policy even if it is a refusal to make policy, the details you provided aren't enough for me to distinguish why this is unique from the fact that you can sully any NY policy with inherent familiarity to past NY policy. The choice NY is making that I think you object to is possibly caused by the ability to reference this past with bias; NY needs to be more conservative on deadly outcomes than cities in Massachusetts that have retained political leeway on deadly outcomes and can therefore refuse to impose checks of vaccine status.
Of course. My point was just that you can evaluate a recurrence relation exactly (i.e. with zero numerical error) and still get chaotic behavior. OP’s mistaken point was that the three body problem’s chaos arises solely from numerical error during simulation, which is untrue.
What’s better about keyboard shortcuts on Windows? MacOS has a very rich set of keyboard shortcuts, the prevailing culture is for third-party apps to have them too, and you can map custom shortcuts to any command accessible in a menu.

I haven’t used Windows extensively since 2015, but at least back then I had to have a suite of AutoHotKey scripts just to get close to native MacOS functionality.
Mangoes are the King of fruits. The best are from India and a close second are those from Thailand. When i lived in the US it was a shock to me that i could not find any good Mangoes at all. The ones imported from Latin America tasted like mud and were only used for Salsas. I could not convince my American friends that they had never tasted true Mangoes since they had had no exposure to the real thing. That any civilized being in this age of globalization could be unaware of how Mangoes really tasted blew my mind. The Agriculture Mafia in the Western countries are really denying their brethren some of nature's best bounties.

I am not sure if I am the only one, but I found it surprising that the immune system components you mention (serum antibodies and upper respiratory tract mucosal membrane) do not “learn from each other”. I suppose I had a naive / uneducated perspective on this, but is there an obvious reason why they don’t learn from each other?
Are you saying we should reimplement macOS in Electron?
>But we’re looking at moving to something like BitWarden because it has true SSO support, while 1Password doesn’t.

That is what I am curious about, too: starting the the v8 of 1Password I just can't justify paying premium for 1Password anymore as a mac user who has a family account. Both have Electron clients and cloud-only vaults, but Bitwarden subscription is 40USD/yr., and 1Password charges 60USD/yr.

In my opinion 1PW just lost any advantage it had, at least for non-business users.
"either comply or get shut down'

I think if a three letter agency 'shuts down' Apple, the political blowback will be nuclear. The agency will get put on a leash if they pull some shit like tthat
Actually it's not completely true, in Java 17, the switch statement will be able to "match" a class name, and with sealed + permits and records you can have something like algebraic data types.

Still, seems like no destructuring records, but maybe it's not strictly necessary.

What was said:

> Google admits it tries to prevent sideloading as much as possible in their own court filings with Epic.

Your citation?

Still shows that sideloading is possible.

Derp.

That's not preventing sideloading. Some one time steps remind the user that there are risks to sideloading something that can't be trusted.

Like I said to the other guy, I knew what he was referring to and it was wholly disingenuous to make the claim that he did.

Sideloading. Is. Not. Prevented.

It is cautioned against.

Big difference.

The article claims 15+ steps, which is absolute bullshit.

IMPOSSIBLE, I TELL YOU!

Don't even need to enable Developer Options in Android. No iOS developer cert needed. No host computer or one week expiration like Apple does it.

And guess what? Sideloading has always been possible on Android. Always.

This looks like something Google is doing to make it too difficult to sideload? ("Google tries to prevent sideloading as much as possible" I believe was said) Well, shit, whoever finds this difficult should not be sideloading apps in the first place.

> Several apps rely on successful SafetyNet verification to start functioning. A unlocked bootloader will trip this and apps stop functioning. Current solutions to overcome this is a cat and mouse game.

However, this doesn't change the fact that unlocking the bootloader on a device where a bootloader can be unlocked... is NOT A HACK.

Safetynet as a consequence of unlocking the bootloader is a known trade off. Security vs the ability to modify the system files. Seems completely fair to me.

The way you guys go about this, how you get so much wrong in the process that the disingenuous replies barely mask that your contempt lies with Google regardless of how anything is actually done.

You created an account to jump into a thread where you merely propagated the previous user's fallacies? Really?
Why not budget how much memory your rust component needs, and allocate a pool ahead of time? This is how it’s sometimes done in embedded systems. It depends on what your rust code does of course, but if it’s runtime memory use depends on untrusted data it is handling that is a concern in itself.
I do believe the thing you’re missing with Western forces is that the events listed were aberrations rather than the norm.

Also, should you not like “Delta,” and frankly I don’t see how a Greek letter is aggrandizing, you could always go with “CAG.”
