Ok - I wasn’t replying to the article - I was replying to a comment about crypto-induced price increases of consumer gear being blamed on datacenters, which just isn’t true. It’s not that OEM prices are going up, it’s that retail prices are. Nvidia might sell a consumer GPU which is immediately resold on the retail market at 100% markup.

This is driven by crypto, not DL.

"Based on these limitations, the committee concludes that the evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between SV40-containing polio vaccines and cancer."

There is literally no reason to bring this up in relation to COVID vaccines. First, this was a contamination issue with polio vaccines between 1955 and 1961, long since fixed (and unlikely to happen again, as it is now much easier to detect this kind of contamination). Second, there has never been any good evidence that the 'contaminated' vaccines ever did anyone any harm.

I believe section 317ZK, subsection (3) of the act [0] prohibits a provider from bearing the costs of compliance. If I read correctly, the cost is negotiated between the provider and the government and the government bears the cost.

And section 317ZGA [1] explicitly puts compliance with interception warrants (which I believe are the warrants in the new bill) out of scope.

I _think_ the effort a provider has to put in to comply with the new act is primarily limited by 27KP(2)e's "reasonable" wording.

> Sometimes the worst thing you can do is give people exactly what they ask for.

Alan Moore said this in the context of poetry, but with the caveat that everybody is sometimes part of "the" audience, and that every fully fledged human adult should sometimes be "the" artist, I think he has a hugely important point:

> It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.

I would argue that most ML processing by most "big data" companies also has marginal negative output for each additional GPU. Certainly anything to do with social media or adtech and a lot of analytics in general is a net negative for the world, while consuming electricity and processing hardware.
Yes, Facebook is now almost useless. The only reason to be there is to keep track of friends and family, but it has gotten to the point where if a family member has a big life event, I'm hearing about it through traditional in-person or on-voice-call word of mouth _faster_ than through Facebook, because Facebook keeps deciding for me what it wants me to see.

As long as you don't have a unique IP address, this data doesn't seem enough to uniquely identify you. HTTP headers reveal your OS and browser, but not much more than that, and they should be mostly the same for all people with the same OS/browser.
Because humans are the constraint, not the bits. Humans (in a group, societal sense) need to context switch over time, and cannot perfectly retain equal, active understanding of how to use all systems or frameworks ever invented, no matter how perfectly the bits are preserved.

That being said, in an archival sense, it would be a shame and seems unnecessary to lose anything, since perfect preservation is achievable. But archival preservation, is different from staying in active use with a healthy community of practitioners perpetually ad infinitum.

I too have used BPC/TB for fixing nagging injuries and it works great.

One thing to note -- you don't need to inject BPC at the site of the injury. Subcutaneous anywhere on the body works just as well. Your body will direct the peptides to the fibroblast (healing) areas where it is needed.
That leaves only illegal black markets where those involved avoid banks anyway because banks report activity to the local government. (illegal money laundering schemes do use banks, but there are numbers for banks to use even if they don't know about the illegal side of the business)

Once in a while there is a brand new industry, but they tend to start small enough that banks can figure out numbers before the risk is too big to worry about.

A valid point, but I wonder how effective Apple's search engine will be with their stance on user privacy. I'm sure Apple is perfectly content with letting Google do the dirty work.

I don't think there's risk of apple building a successful search engine that can compete with Google, but just paying for Mac users who are not savvy enough to change their default browser to Google. (or bribe against going with Duck.com)

You are right. Perhaps people saw "Pfizer" and made some assumptions based on Pfizer's work with the BioNTech mRNA vaccine.

Bitfinex (which has been outlawed in the USA) keeps printing Tether to prop up the price of Bitcoin, graphics cards are snatched up as soon as they are manufactured, and they're using an Argentina-sized amount of power to keep the whole thing going.

The WHO is on China's payroll, so I would be very suspicious of conflict of interest.

Peter makes this assertion with zero evidence. They've already made up their mind, and are searching for evidence to prove their global international extortion.

Everything about covid-19 has no evidence behind it. Just like the common cold, any virus is impossible to cure (and therefore the symptoms can be alleviated through natural and allopathic methods), and that is a fact.

Debian is not only doing both peer review of the packages but it's reviewed by the users.

Those companies review the distro very carefully.
Please do not take this as me being flippant, but it is also an option to reclaim your independence and not use a smartphone, or any phone at all. Since I started doing this, the effects on myself were as expected, better focus, etc, but the secondary effects on my social circle were unexpected. People take more care to be on time when they say they are meeting me places, no more calls as I arrive saying "oh okay, youre there? Im walking out the door". No more "drive by" social interactions that spawn new storylines and gossip that I dont need to be a part of.

What was most unexpected is how, unprompted, a lot of the most ardent phone abusers in my social circle started gradually releasing themselves from their phones, putting them in a drawer, or just outright turning them off for weekends.

I have a single prepaid phone that my wife has the number to, it has no apps, no email, no scrolly things. When we are apart, it is turned on, otherwise, my time is otherwise occupied.

I'm sure lots do use index funds. And I'm sure quite a few should use index funds, but waste money instead in pointless investments. But most who look for other opportunities do it for the same reason most of us don't invest in index funds even if it's the safe bet: they want more.
Of course if someone wanted to inflict harm there are other ways to do it, but banning guns removes one very effective way of doing it. The claim that guns protect against the tyranny of government is dubious, since it seems to imply that civilians shooting at police or soldiers would improve an already dire situation - that seems unlikely.

Gun control has broad support in Australia - in a poll, 40% of respondents think the laws are fine as they are, 45% said they should be even stronger, and 6% said they were too strong.

Um... nah. Anytime I've been in burnout serious enough to need more than a few months of recovery, everything was gone. Dates, no way, friends? No friends, just work. I don't understand this perspective of 'burnout, but can still enjoy'. A defining characteristic of it in my experience is that you get stuck in very mindless, reactive pursuits like doom-scrolling or video-watching, but you're not enjoying any of it, and you can't hang out with anyone because if you did you're harping on about the way you're stuck and still trying to fix work things, or you're griping about how burnt out you feel: the topic is all-encompassing.

This correlates with the folks who are in burnout before they're reduced to total unfunctionality, because that's the part they're experiencing as they circle the drain: they're not unfunctional, but they can't go on dates or hang out with friends or enjoy anything because they're obsessed with what's happening to them, unable to let go.

I guess the reformulation of it would be, if you're very unhappy with work but you still enjoy dates and friends and other things, and you're also able to do that work effectively but you're just hating it, that's not burnout. Seems like the danger point/red flag is how stuck you are to that work. Being able to decompress with other things is a sign that you're not too stuck to the thing, and it's a good sign that will save you. Being not able to enjoy is like depression and affects all things. Struggling harder and harder with a thing to the point that you're not able to enjoy, but you can't let go and have to keep increasing the pressure… that's leaning more towards burnout or at the very least what will get you into burnout.

Intel has their own foundries, but they are using TSMC N6 for their announced gaming GPUs, so they are subject to much of the same supply constraints. Apple is also using TSMC for their A-something chips.
My intuition is failing here.

If I put a log through a wood chipper, I can't un-chip it! Why should we expect the same for stars getting torn apart by intense gravitational fields?

Does it matter that the gravitational field is literally "spacetime itself" changing shape, versus two pieces of matter interacting with each other as in the wood chipper case?

Here's my guess of what's happening based on what you read, please tell me where I'm going wrong:

Physics generally assumes that it can be theoretically un-chipped; if somehow I could run time backwards, that I would end up with exactly the same log that I started with. But the results of interacting with with the mathematical singularity in the black hole cannot be "undone" in this way. And so far, all attempts to avoid trying to model "matter that has passed through a singularity in spacetime" with some kind of firewall, etc. have failed.
"Developer" here isn't being used to mean only the people who directly write code. It means the entire organization responsible for developing the product, which includes the managers, marketing, and executives. As in Microsoft the company is the developer of Windows, and Windows is made in such a way as to prioritize the needs of Microsoft over the needs of Windows users. They're not prioritizing the needs of any specific employee or category of employees. All stakeholder groups on the producer side may or may not be fighting for their own specific interests, but collectively producer-side stakeholder groups are given way more of a say than consumer-side, because the consumer-side only has the purchase as their tool to influence product decisions, and thanks to various forms of lock-in and information asymmetry, they can't or won't make informed purchasing choices that force Microsoft to care about them.

I had the original jolla phone. Fun device and great for starting out developing simple apps.

Back then they had a 3rd party whatsapp client called mittäkuuluu (litteraly what's up in finnish) in addition to the official one running through the android layer.

Since then whatsapp has blocked 3rd party clients and i believe youre not able to run whatsapp on the consumer version of sailfish.

Something really cool they had was integration with whatsapp and the facebook messenger with the sms app with contacts synced across the three.

> The reason the GDPR failed and was more an annoyance than a solution is because of its lack of enforcement and the total incompetence of the ICO.

I don't think it is clear that GDPR has failed. Companies actually think about data privacy now, to a much greater extent than they previously have. For example shady practices by the likes of google and facebook have come under the spotlight and companies do face significant GDPR fines when they mess up e.g. this 890 million euro whopper for amazon [1].

Quality often escapes measurement. The naive overreliance on finding a number to optimize is an enemy of quality, and is all over the place, and can be boiled down to people being driven by somebody’s need to make a nice powerpoint slide.
Consider two ratios:

Harm ratio = harm caused by vaccine / harm caused by virus

Exposure ratio = projected people who would be infected by the virus / projected people who would take the vaccine

In an airborne, high-R_0 pandemic situation, the exposure ratio is high enough that only one of two cases apply:

1) The potential health problems caused by small-scale exposure to the spike protein alone is relatively small compared to problems caused by infection, in which case vaccinate everyone. This is the current situation.

2) The potential health problems caused by small-scale exposure to the spike protein are significant (for example, hypothetical antibody cross-reactivity with a normal human protein, as mentioned in a parallel comment), in which case obviously don't vaccinate everyone, but lock down the world for a few weeks since having much of the world suffer autoimmune disease is untenable.
Exactly. To keep being user-hostile and keep the user base, software needs to satisfy some requisites: being closed or depending on not reproducible proprietary services, or having no better competitors.
A user-hostile software that happens to be useful and is open would be forked and cleaned in no time, or users would flee to the competition if there is any.
The fact that the most user-hostile applications today live in closed proprietary PC or mobile operating systems, or proprietary services where there is no such thing as either openness or competition, gives an hint on where the problem is.
On the surface this seems pretty weird. A maker of $200 technical books on math and science buys a US based political online media site? Doesn't seem like a great deal of "synergy" or whatever.
I remember recent conversations (in June) about search engines recently: there was a debate about how Bing, _and_ DuckDuckGo, had confusing responses to “tank man” (not the imagine that Google shows and people suspect the Chinese Communist Party had something to do with it). That highlighted how companies who operate a search engine might have delegate or contract some aspects of it.

It’s not like Apple to not control everything, but they could do something similar to alleviate the effort in the tail end.
