By my estimates, a lifelong exposure to 33 µg/m³ rather than 0 µg/m³ would on average result in a loss of around 1 disability adjusted life year.

Obviously this is very hard to estimate and you shouldn't trust this as anything more than at most a rough order of magnitude estimate. But it does suggest that the ambient levels they are experiencing are worth reducing if you can do it easily.

That absolutism sound sexists to me. Some women are awesome in tech, and some are not.

Maybe obvious to others, but the SOTA here is a SOTA Score for ML, NOT the Ham Radio Summits on the Air.
I've built a few of these and compared with higher end air purifiers like Alen. The only downside I could find with the DIY box fans was the power consumption is much higher.. about 60W vs 6W for the commercial purifier.

That is a $30/yr increased cost in electricity based on CA rates.
That is true. You can't debate everyone on an even playing field, because not everyone has the same baseline views of morality and reason.

More and more, I have come to think that debates are better for convincing undecided bystanders than convincing the other person you're debating with. At least for arguments or debates held online or in a public space.

One-on-one you might be able to show someone a new value system if they're willing to sit down and talk about it, though.
Again, no one is talking about suicide attack. The drones are to be used to send the coordinates for a ballistic missile strike.

Carriers are large enough that you can start scanning for them before the terminal phase.

The article you linked is overly optimistic. The idea of masking the heat signature of a literal aircraft carrier is completely insane.

I also suggest you do the math on how much you can manoeuvre at a rate of speed of 3Gs at Mach 5 with a manoeuvring distance of 80km. (Hint : 33km radius). This is also an underestimation because it doesn't take into account decrease of transverse velocity.

This stuff was possible in theory 30 years ago. Now it's likely possible in practice.

Note that in the OPs photo (https://imgur.com/a/SCHGo4N) it happens to every other image consistently.

I don't know of anyone actually doing that, but all the code is right there. You could probably wrangle the linter into checking those things if you really want to. That said, many Ruby frameworks rely on being able to dynamically add methods to classes at runtime so I don't think such a thing would be all that beneficial.

There is nothing special about this shade of green that causes it to come from a codec issue. This green is what you get when you convert a 0-buffer from YUV to RGB. Depending on what colorspace you convert with it will be a slightly different shade.

You can play around with this yourself in imagemagick:

dd if=/dev/zero of=zero.yuv bs=480 count=240
convert -depth 8 -size 320x240 yuv:zero.yuv green.png

Conversion from YUV to RGB will be at one of the last steps of the image capture pipeline. Anything in between could wipe the buffer to 0s. It could be due to a simple bug in the image pipeline or it could be censorship. It tells you nothing.
Yeah this isn't for rainy or dusty environments for sure.
> instead of just fencing off the highways

Well, if you did that, you probably wouldn't even need AI for the control system. If you know the parameters and have some control over unknowns, you want a deterministic control system. "AI" will hopefully handle the cases where you are in an uncontrolled environment. Current "AI" doesn't seem quite up to the task of self-driving. It will probably get there, but when is anyone's guess.
Looking at Rockley stuff in particular makes me hopeful this could be solved, if it's solvable with spectrophotometry at all. I'd even be OK with something larger, perhaps ankle-worn, as long as I don't have to puncture my skin at all.

At the very least the scripts will soon be in the blocklists for ad blocker extensions if they’re not already.

One of the arguments advanced in favour of copyright-based compensation is that:

1. Authors must be paid. (Agreed.)

2. That payment must be based on the quantity of work produced and sold. (Disagreed.)

Wage income ultimately provides for both 1) the living costs of workers and their families as well as 2) opportunity risks and costs of production. (Adam Smith's 240+ year old five-factor analysis of components of wage prices remains excellent, cogent, and relevant: https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_...)

Under FDR's New Deal, the Federal Writers Project directly hired and supported numerous American writers, many of whom went on to become classics of the country's literary canon, among them Zora Neale Hurston, Kenneth Rexroth and John Cheever, Saul Bellow, Studs Terkel, Nelson Algren and Richard Wright.

Contrast with Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens, who found himself blacklisted and unemployable in San Francisco, with a nickel and a revolver to his name. The nickel for if he was unable to come up with money, the revolver for when he had to spend the nickel. Even after achieving literary success, Clemens struggled with money troubles for his entire life, succeeding largely on the support of his father-in-law.

> The whole point here is that Apple is not scanning server side

False. Apple complies with the laws pertaining to customer data and provides data as legally required.
III. Information Available from Apple

J. iCloud

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelin...

> You need never use iCloud in any way whatsoever in order for Apple's new scanning tech to be used against you.

False. Phones don’t download the CSAM hashes so they can’t do device side scanning as they have nothing to compare the images to. Yes, the phone uploads a hash, but they also upload the unencrypted images along side it.

Thus the only thing that changes is Apple isn’t paying for the compute power to do the hashing. That and a tiny amount of extra bandwidth on uploading images.

PS: In response to your edit, perceptual hashes are a grey area. However, as long as a judge agrees they can very much just take down production systems when it pertains to a case. That’s a rather big stick to force compliance even if it’s not an explicit law it’s very much a consequence of it. Thus companies really don’t push back as some that have simply got raided.

"Settled"
I see people saying things like

> we need to make concessions with computers when we market them to the masses

or

> RMS's argument made a lot more sense when computers were a professional tool used by trained individuals. But that audience has changed a lot in the past 30 years.

So the argument is that users shouldn't have control over their own devices because most don't want it? That seems like a non sequitur.

1. Why not just hide the controls in a hard-to-reach menu or similar, if the goal is just not to frighten the poor device owners/users with control they don't want? Instead systems are purposefully engineered to lock them down.

2. There definitely seems to be a trend to take away ever more control that device owners used to have over the past decades and years. Apple leads the way with their phones and laptops, but I think that e.g., getting the right to administrate the OS on Android phones is also getting more difficult in general. So how come the users got by fine 15 years ago, without getting heart attacks from all the control over their systems available back then (compared to a today's smartphone).

3. I think it's pretty obvious that users will get less accustomed to having control over their devices if that control ceases to be available in off-the-shelf products, so the it's kind of backwards to just say "the users can't handle it".
If that's the only thing that pisses you off about Confluent, I think you've got it pretty good.

Exactly. If we look at something like CIA headquarters it's a building in building with white noise being generated between the gaps for added security.

Most people I deal with seem to think it means not having an internet connection which is true, but that's simply not enough.
Stallman's predictions would have been impressive had he made them even 15 years ago. But the fact that he was taking about these things back in the eighties when few people even owned computers is absolutely mind blowing.

People spend WAY too much time focusing on Stallman's flaws and quirks and not nearly enough time on his ideas, which continue to be proven right over and over.

Making a guess here, the envelope has a distinct shade of pink, which may trigger some processing. It looks like it is in "AI" mode, and who knows what "AI" does.
I'd argue that life is its own point. If you organize your metaphysics in such a way that nothing matters unless it leads to a future that matters, then nothing can possibly matter, because by definition value is always postponed to "the future". But you can never get there, because once you do, it becomes "the present".

Basically, you can't say that the value of every moment depends entirely on the value of future moments, that just prevents the actualization of any value. The present has to count for something.
Agreed.

This problem is easily solvable with increased pay, but this is tough to pull off in the Japanese corporate system.

> The underlying runtime leaks through

For those of us who have never used Podman or explored the depths of Docker, can you explain what you mean by that?
Doing this early also helps people get used to the idea of AI replacing/complementing doctors in the future. Objectively, it would be better to be diagnosed by a machine instead of a human doctor, if the machine is better on average at giving the right diagnosis. In practice, there is a large legal and emotional gap to close to get acceptance for this.

The gains could be incredible though, not only would we get better diagnosis, it could be done faster, cheaper, and remotely.

> We don’t hold gun manufacturers or alcohol companies liable when people do stupid things with their products

We do though.

gun manufacturers sell firearms that need ~10lbs force to shoot (~2x normal) to law enforcement so keep accidental discharges down.

alcohol companies maybe but there are "Alcohol Server Liability Laws" where a bar/etc can be held liable for damages caused by somebody who got drunk at their bar/etc.

China's production for these missiles is 10 a year because they are still refining them - they haven't stuck to a final revision they will mass produce yet. Once that is done it's absolutely feasible to pump out 1000+ a year.

And no, I'm not suggesting lobbing it around the first cruiser. I'm suggesting to approach the cruiser from a different angle, finding another ship of the CSG and build a perimeter, and then strike the center.

This is not a repeated air assault of the CSG. That's an old doctrine. The doctrine is to completely bypass the defences of the CSG using a hypersonic missile.

And no, you don't do this while the CSG is already in range, that's ridiculous. You do this when it's ~2000km away.
I play guitar. I amaze people when I say I have no idea what notes I'm playing. I know the Nashville Number System (learned it before knowing it had a name) and use that. So going back to your example - I find the root and that's my 1. Next I look for does it have a 3 or b3, i.e. is it major or minor? That'll drive me to a major pentatonic or minor pentatonic. For a lot of songs you can stop there. There's a note that's outside of the pentatonic? That'll indicate your mode.

The nice thing about the Nashville Number System and guitar is once you have this information and know what your 1 is it's a set of patterns. You can put my 1 anywhere on the fretboard and I know what to play. Makes transposing super simple too.

Bottom line - I think in intervals, not notes. When playing a song by ear, which is how I mostly play, I could be off by a semitone or two but it doesn't matter: point our where the 1 really is and I'm still good to go.

Sure, but the degree of the effect matters a lot when the other position is "of course they're countries X and Y are turning into tyrannies—people don't own enough guns to stop it"—as if that's a major, or even decisive, factor.

However, what I can tell, they're surely not that important, and any effect they do have is weak enough that even small effects that make them a liability to liberal democracy—which effects I believe are in evidence, given the clear role they've played as a tool for enforcing popular but illiberal positions—could easily nullify the benefits.
These are more general purpose than just those attacks, the author of the firmware has demo videos of cables attached to Android and iOS devices that when the payload runs they open the system browser and loads a specific page. Depending on what you can do with a web page at any given time on those devices it could be a springboard.

You could also do some passive/active data gathering. On Windows when you plug in an iOS device, if the device trusts the computer it will allow it to access all the photos and videos on the device. The cable it self could then start grabbing those images and sending them over the WiFi link. I don't know if these cables support that, but the concept is valid.
Legality has nothing to do with justice; I'm all for bringing everyone you just described to justice. Laws are made by the rich, not the just.

Stock ranges (as well as refresh grants) are also tied to levels you're hired at. "Largely false" my ass. All of this BS applies _only_ to people with weak skill stacks. Committee doesn't even know your "previous" level elsewhere. They know that you've e.g. built this very impressive distributed system here and now and hopefully it made $MM revenue difference (which you'd be smart to quantify and mention). So if you can do it, you'll get rewarded appropriately. If you can't, you won't. And sure, you can't go E5 to E7, there's just no way. But getting from E5 to E7 (or T5 to T7 at Google) is doable in two promo cycles for someone who's in the right place at the right time, and has the right skill stack. Or in fact in the immediate if they are willing to move to another FANG company.

Been to Reddit lately? It's gotten better to be sure, but I have to reload or dance around with the back/forward buttons so often simply because I attempted to visit a page.
I've read that page before. It's rather depressing at face value.

But I also think we probably don't yet know enough about the universe and it's very possible most of the things in the future of that page are incorrect.

For one thing even our ideas of thermodynamics and quantum mechanics were developed in the last century, and much like Newton's theories have loopholes, it's very possible (I'd say likely) that our understanding of quantum mechanics and GR is grossly incomplete.

I wouldn't even put it out of the question that simple "axioms" like energy+mass conservation are a special case within a grander scheme of things. The big bang itself violates that, and we still haven't the slightest clue what dark matter and dark energy are.

It's also worth noting that red dwarfs last for a VERY long time, i.e. trillions of years. We have one in our cosmic backyard at Proxima Centauri. If we can figure out how to move in the vicinity of one, we'd have a few orders of magnitude more time to figure out the future.
