Does FPC/Lazarus have any kind of commercial backing by companies? Honestly the amount of platforms they support is pretty impressive, yet it remains pretty obscure.

The only other project I can think of which remains relatively unknown but still manages to chug along is Tcl (supported by Flightaware and a bunch of other companies iirc).
There is something I can’t explain that is missing from today’s games that I see in older games. I’m going to go on an unorganized ramble here hoping someone can pick what I mean.

90s games were more advanced than 80s by a lot but still immediately competitive, no long story to get into, quick play, simple menu, no config, just straight into the game, same settings for everyone and 100% ability comparison. The high score thing grew into profiles with badges now and no one cares anymore.

The creativity put into the games made them a cult too, I mean we are talking about a 1995 game in 2021. I think it is unique to its time, games like these define that 90s futuristic grunge subculture that lingered to show up in The Matrix although a bit modernized.

What do the 2010s and 2020s have in regards of this unique and define culture characteristics? Loot boxes? We don’t have as much fun anymore. Maybe it’s the decline of arcades? The closest I can feel to those 90s gaming tournaments or high score races is playing Mario kart or smash, everything else feels like it takes 30min just to get started. Lobbys, learning rules of the game, loading screens, intros, Blehg just put me in a high intensity game right away and let me blow up some stuff as I race a made up ship!
Easier to dismiss
If I am not wrong, don't Brave and Vivaldi (Chromium browsers) have inbuilt ad blocking?
> Binary dumps look more in line with how humans with left-to-right scripts expect to read numbers.

I remember VMS EXAMINE command but also printed DEC manuals showing hex dumps where the columns where numbered RTL. The ascii view on the right half of the hex dump was following the LTR order, so basically the two views were mirrored. (see example at http://www0.mi.infn.it/~calcolo/OpenVMS/ssb71/4556/4556p004....)

With such a rendering, little endian does indeed natural.

We're doing it all the time when rendering bit positions:

bit pos: 3210

bit val: 1100

extending this layout for byte indices is quite natural indeed.

Onnx has really poor support by microsoft. I suspect they've basically abandoned it internally (their onnxjs variant is orders of magnitude slower than tfjs[1]). It's a good 'neutral standard' for the moment but we should all eventually probably move away from it long term.

Not that it really makes it any better, but the engineering/tech side is almost completely divorced from the sales side when it comes to work life balance and culture. Most of the complaints I see across the internet come from folks who worked in the sales centers which, even internally, I've heard was a pretty awful environment if you weren't in the top 10%. New agents in particular were burned through quickly as they really only had the worst shifts to pick from, so climbing the ladder was a long and arduous journey.

I worked there for a couple of years and it was honestly a great experience. I'm sure they've "grown up" some more at this point, but at the time it was all the fun, freedom, and flexibility of working at a startup with the security of a company that was essentially too big to fail.
So you think 18 year olds shouldn't be allowed access to the NHS until they've worked for a year or paid a surcharge?

I guess there's a chance where it was just poorly-articulated "one of my employees has a stronger negotiating position than I'm conformable with." But had that been the case, the question-asker would already know the answer. The answer provided was to actually negotiate rather than expect to get their way, and work to improve the company's resilience in the areas where they're dependent on a single supplier.

That doesn't surprise me a lot. Apparently, you'd only need 40 digits of pi to compute the area of a circle the size of the visible universe[0]. Pi tends to show up in equations where it's being multiplied by relatively small constants like 1/2, 2, or 8. Maybe sometimes you might see a pi^2 times a smallish constant, too. So, not needing a ton of digits in order to be good enough for numerical models doesn't seem crazy at all.

This is so true!

For machine-learning and data science, tensors are largely what is called n-dimensional array. Numpy is a popular python library built basically around this data type.

Mathematical tensors in a particular base (sorry for the sloppy language, theoretical physicist here) can be displayed with such a data type, depsite the n-dimensional array data type (as available in numpy) lacks the (co)vector properties.

Funny enough, in theoretical physics there are two groups of people: The one prefering to write out complicated objects (i.e. tensors) with indices and the ones who do not (typically called abstract tensor notation in general relativity). The latter are much more close to mathematical physics and prefer to understand tensors as mappings from (co)vector spaces to scalars, similar to as you already wrote.

Most general relativity computer codes are written by the index people, not by the mathematical physicists ;-)

At least in the UK, we may see an improvement if government stopped inflating real estate prices with new schemes every year (help-to-buy or the latest stamp duty suspension) and if investing in property to rent it, attracted as much tax as investing in training to get a better job.
Also, in the UK, stronger regulations (such as a set of first-world tenant-protection laws and stronger requirements for landlod to look after their properties) would help.

MS still has Azure Kinect (basically v3) which is integrated to the AR/Hololens ecosystem. There are so many advances every year in Computer Vision that make use of RGB-D so I hope the field will expand not contract - specifically now as AR/VR applications are maturing to take advantage of them either for vanilla full body tracking or for realworld extension of the game space.

Reading the imagine scaling attack article, it’s looks like it’s pretty easy to manufacture an image that:

1. Looks like an innocuous image, indeed even an image the victim is expecting to receive.

2. Downscales in such a way to produce a CSAM match.

3. Downscales for the derivative image to create actual CSAM for the review process.

Which is a pretty scary attack vector.
This reminds me of somebody who held my job before I joined.

He had questionable test/release/deployment practices, so they took his root privs away in prod, and instead made him build packages (that was mostly already done before) and hand them to the admin team.

Not to be deterred by useless administrative overhead, he added an environment variable where the application would look for code files, defaulting it to somewhere under /tmp. Then he could deploy his own hotfixes as a user.

The company only found out when one of the two prod servers was rebooted, /tmp/ was wiped, and suddenly one of the two servers exhibited lots of old, already fixed bugs.

Perhaps I'm using it wrong (I've long wanted to, but haven't yet seriously played with Wikidata), but there don't seem to be any Andrea Vassells listed?

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=Andrea+Vassell

So OP would need to create multiple entries, for the wrong people too? And since Google currently displays this panel without it coming from a Wikidata entry, how does it then know that this new Wikidata entry ties up to what it wants to show; that the image it is showing is related to one of the other new Wikidata entries?

That's exactly the point with smaller country's, where you have much more common interests/problems/culture than in big country's, and that's why i am absolutely against the EU (future united states of europe).

I think I am in dire need of some education here and so I have questions:

* Is this a problem with Apple's CSAM discriminator engine or with the fact that it's happening on-device?

* Would this attack not be possible if scanning was instead happening in the cloud, using the same model?

* Are other services (Google Photos, Facebook, etc.) that store photos in the cloud not doing something similar to uploaded photos, with models that may be similarly vulnerable to this attack?

I know that an argument against on-device scanning is that people don't like to feel like the device that they own is acting against them - like it's snitching on them. I can understand and actually sympathise with that argument, it feels wrong.

But we have known for a long time that computer vision can be fooled with adversarial images. What is special about this particular example? Is it only because it's specifically tricking the Apple CSAM system, which is currently a hotly-debated topic, or is there something particularly bad here, something that is not true with other CSAM "detectors"?

I genuinely don't know enough about this subject to comment with anything other than questions.
You are not wrong, I'm using Vivaldi on Android and it has built-in ad blocker. On this page though are two big dialogs: for cookies on top and "2 free stories remaining" on bottom, so even with ad blocker only 1/3 of the screen is visible until you manually remove these annoyances.
Another way to look at it is that there are three variables. Time, scope and velocity. If time and velocity are fixed variables then it follows that only scope can be changed to make a project fit into the time box.

But location names are distinctively not brand names. I know that concept might be confusing depending on your cultural background, but in most parts of Europe restaurants aren't chains and their names aren't brands.

Each restaurant is usually a family business and it's perfectly normal to find the same pub or restaurant name in nearby towns.

1. cant you run startup on the side while working? i mean, maybe dont go all full time on it unless its delivering good cash flow, or unless you got some cash buffer

2. coming from failed startup is still counted as experience. the technologies you used, the sales and negotiation skills you honed and developed, those are valuable as hell.

3. even a cv with zero to minimal experience could get in doors. one is thru having a network of people that can refer you. another is thru applying to the right companies that may really need you, like small businesses or new startups that.
My instinct is it would go quite differently. I suspect there might be less civil unrest, but much less harmonious relations in almost any other way. Just a guess of course.

Yes, that is true. The entry threshold to this kind of projects without well defined Readme section becomes really high.
> it seems two visually similar images will also have similar hashes

This is by-design - The whole idea of a perceptual hash is that the more similar the two hashes are, the more similar the two images are, so I don't think it invalidates any claims.

Perceptual hashes are different to a cryptographic hash, where any change in the message would completely change the hash.

What does that even mean? How do you incentivize automation for things like surgical tool sterilization (the aforementioned 15$/hr) or pet grooming, for which there is no "automation". Especially when you're working with populations in the thousands or 10s of thousands (eg cities like Bismarck or Billings), who would invest in that? Amazon is dropping in distribution centers from time to time at 15$ an hour when a municipal area gets to be over 100k pop, but that's just one vendor and one vertical.

they're known as Contingent Workers and the expenses towards them goes under different category in the company's finance books: regular employees are some kind of liability, C-W aren't same. also hides the headcount. World does not know how many were hired, when, and how many laid off.

think of C-Workers as EC2 for Employees: Elastic, flexible, quick hire, quick fire. H1B C-Workers do not show under the company's Visa books. Other costs of FTE: leaves, health-insurance, provident fund, gratuity, group life insurance, car-lease-plan, ESPP/RSU/ESOP, bonus, promotions, payhike, etc.

Yes, the state can embark on massive construction of housing. The advantage is it gets around zoning restrictions on building height.

State-funded housing tends to be unimaginative/repetitive in design and lower quality though. The same outcome, of higher density housing, can be achieved by simply repealing zoning restrictions, and if that doesn't do enough, by replacing sales taxes with land taxes, which discourage sprawling land-inefficient housing.

There may be advantages, in political economy, that makes overcoming special interests opposed to densification easier, with the state-led approach though.

As for special interests in general, there are plenty in and close to the state itself that would massively profit from large public projects, so I don't see this as a question of whether or not we support special interests. It's simply a question of which special interests.
