> The thing is, C also makes me aware of what is happening, by letting programs fail when I forget about certain things.

That isn't true at all. The majority of my and other's bugs I hit working with C (I did C for several years at a large company) were because they explicitly did not fail when people forgot things. If you iteratively learn C you learn tons of bad behaviors as C does not tell you when things are broken.
Its already got Arch Linux on it, doesn't it?
Kids who get healing crystals instead of vaccines, also don't get the vaccine?
Agreed. PBA card holders are usually given a professional courtesy but it’s at the officers discretion to honor it or not. For the offenses committed in the Cannonball Run it won’t work very well. It’s also geographically limited to mostly the NY, and NJ area.
I've always thought about the double-edged sword of proactively patenting garbage like this.

On the one hand you prevent anyone else from using it for a period of time, but on the other hand you give them ideas that they might not have had.
There are a lot of bad things in the world.

Governments attempt to prevent their currencies from financing them. They do this through controls like AML/BSA.

Cryptocurrencies bypass these controls. It’s not just dangerous for governments, as the article points out this makes it dangerous for everyone. It has single-handedly enabled ransomware attacks to be profitable and endemic.

I honestly don’t understand your argument at all.
> If you give it a bunch of photos of a scene from different angles, this machine learning method lets you see angles that did not exist in the original set.

Yeah wasn't sure what I was seeing.
Only a very small fraction of people would even try to bypass it like that. It would still be a big improvement to reducing the rate of ads displayed to no one.
The last time I watched TV (awhile back), it was an NFL game, and the ads were absolutely unbearable. I'm shocked people still pay for cable.
There should be a quiz about the ad that you have to answer correctly to be allowed to continue the show:

Where is the nearest Prodafanilexicol store?

When does the sale end?

How many satisfied customers does Megacorp have?

Ok, enough people have answered correctly now, we will tell the players to come out for the 2nd quarter.
Cheats can also be used to grief other players in the match making queue.
To point out one part that is completely false:

> 90% of transaction volume on the Bitcoin blockchain is not tied to economically meaningful activities but is the byproduct of the Bitcoin protocol design as well as the preference of many participants for anonymity.

>In other words, 90% of Bitcoin's carbon footprint is used in a partially successful attempt to compensate for its deficient anonymity.

Miners are mainly rewarded by the new bitcoins that are created in each new block. The energy usage does not come from processing transactions; it is largely independent, it is not uncommon that miners even mine blocks that contain no transactions. If you stop 90% of transactions you will definitely not see the hashrate drop by 90%.

It shocks me that so few people seem to understand this; we keep having articles saying that bitcoin transactions are a waste of energy, and everyone ignoring that the block reward halves every few years until it drops to zero, so it not built with the incentives to use this much energy forever. In fact there is the opposite concern: with widespread usage of systems like Lightning Network and no block reward, there may not be enough incentive for people to mine enough to secure the network.
Kind of how it was ignored for opioids in the US.
> I’ve also been considering completely moving away from tech. I love tech and building things, but the longer I work in development and engineering, the harder it is to keep focus and justify the time vs the compensation for all the time in front of a screen.

What else do you think you'd do?

I moved from dev to law. I had less experience than you. I am trying to jump back into tech ASAP.

I can explain more about my thought process and stuff if you'd like.
It’s extremely widespread and in general there aren’t any tests for it. Fortunately there’s a vaccine now.
I did not say anything about value. I said "it cannot be just a fad". Googling for "fad" gives me "A fad is a product that has a very brief product life".

If you used the governments aversion to meth to judge the market size of illegal drugs you would have hit the nail on its head: The worldwide market for illegal drugs is tens of billions of dollars, has been around for centuries and nobody expects it to go away soon.
Only half of all advertising actually works, the problem is no one knows which half.
Went around to friends’ place for dinner the other month and they had TV news and ads blaring in the background the entire time, no one paying attention. I can’t stand TV or radio ads and it was like chalkboard fingernails all evening.
To Have Great Support – All of It Has to Be Great
> Proof of work mining uniquely only draws electricity when prices are economically viable, only buying electricity when there is excess supply

The numbers don't make sense to do that.

The average time a piece of hardware lives on the Bitcoin network is just 16 months, after which it becomes e-waste, too underpowered to matter.

So assuming the CAPEX is $1000 for a piece of hardware that draws 1kW, the most it can consume is 11 MWh during its lifetime - about $1500 at residential prices (Texas) or $500 at wholesale prices.

So just how deep can you throttle down the rig to take advantage of the low energy prices? The numbers seem to show that anything below 70-80% active ratio will start to cost you more in capital than you save in electricity.

So you can avoid the peaks but certainly cannot wait for the relatively rare excess renewables events.
You can put a phone number on your infomercial and measure how many calls / conversions you get from people calling that number shortly after the ad plays.
1. burden is on those claiming expertise.

2. being luddite in 2022 is a grave error.

3. he's absolutely dead wrong. pools do not exercise central control which has been observed empirically numerous times.

4. Card industry alone loses $40B per year. That's just cards. Lending and wealth is a whole other universe. So make it roughly 1-2T per year, which is the entire crypto marketcap lost every year by tradfi, roughly 10x than DeFi. F. GG.

5. omission of the most key topic at hand, isn't a simple error, it's proof of ignorance.

6. ad hom, but by you. (since when is it an ad hom to call someone wealthy and successful to the point they are immune to vagaries of daily life in most locales on Earth? Amazing.)
Streaming clients like GeForce Now have come a long way if you want to play games as a Mac user. It's what I use to play Satisfactory and it works really well in my opinion.
These light, at least where I live, are mainly not meant for planes, but helicopters.

For example, Military SAR / police / medical helicopters fly very low to the ground in cities. They often fly on sight, below any legal flight limit. Urban structures are all they need to avoid, and sometimes they must fly very close to them. As it's very hard to see a tall, unlighted structure at night before it's too late, this would be very difficult without any kind of signal lights from the structure itself.
I wonder if anyone has modeled what the energy usage is AFTER all the mining is done?
I'm happy gambling $5 on the pre-order.

Seems to me we are nowhere near the level of maturity needed to even suggest colonization.

Our basic priorities are not in order and that is true for a lot of the world.

Tons of people need solutions now to problems we can solve, and we do not solve them because those priorities are not in order.

And with that, there goes that justification.

Higher priority items include:

Not shitting where we eat,

A much reduced focus on killing one another.

There are many others.

I agree with the other commenter.

It may be very frustrating and disappointing to get married to those ideas. No one reading here is going to see them.
The problem is, people don’t learn well when they’re taught general things and are told to specialize on their own. People learn best from examples and then generalize using their general purpose jumping to conclusions machine called the brain.

I agree simple math problems may not be the best exercises to program, but the point is you should be doing a lot of such specific (but diverse) exercises to get the general idea.
I'm hyped for a long time and apparently you can install whatever you want. It's just a very small computer. Steam has a history of working on tho support of Linux gaming, so I think Ubuntu should be no problem.

The light could be designed to only come on if there is a helicopter nearby if it is really important for that.
The cost of routing on a chip has been climbing for decades. If we decreased the cost of routing, the demand for transistors would go up again? satisfies #1

Making the chip less complex, satisfies #2

What if you had a chip with no routing? Just an array of Look Up Tables? (LUTs) 4x4 bits, one bit coming from each cartesian neighbor, and one going to each, clocked in the manner of checkerboard colors to prevent race conditions.

It sounds quite silly... but it has a lot of advantages, at the cost of using the LUTs to route bits in the worst case.

move signals around to get to any I/O pin
rotate/flip the placement of a software "module"
route around a bad LUT
build a secure box around any function using a wall of LUTS
compute with LUTs on data going all directions simultaneously
easily debug by inserting probes dynamically, and re-routing around them
all the gates run all the time, unlike the transistors in RAM, better utilization of silicon
make it possible to use proofs against deployed programs in the LUTs
Is this related to smoking it or does it not matter if you eat or smoke it?
I have nothing personally against the guy, responding to personal asks for a favor is inappropriate but simply how such things work.

This is simply a means to achieve the strictly necessary: to have two criminal offenders amongst judges removed from their appointments. Realistically this only happens if the prosecutors, which are directed by state politicians and are not independent, look bad to the public unless they handle the matter properly.

And that I do care very much about.
If I recall correctly from looking over the previous lawsuit most, or all, of the people who used these racial slurs were themselves racial minorities. Just my intuition, but I'd guess that these racial slurs are more common among particular demographics. If that's true, and you can be harshly penalized for permitting the use of racial slurs, then it seems like the state would be creating a perverse incentive not to hire specific demographics out of fear those demographics would use language that would get the company sued.

"After receiving hundreds of complaints from workers, D.F.E.H. found evidence that Tesla’s Fremont factory is a racially segregated workplace where Black workers are subjected to racial slurs and discriminated against in job assignments, discipline, pay and promotion creating a hostile work environment,” Kevin Kish, the department’s director, said in a statement. “The facts of this case speak for themselves."

So, one black employee sues Tesla because coworkers use racial slurs against him. He wins 137 million dollars in the lawsuit. Then many other employees accuse the company of using racial slurs. Hmmm, why, Tesla must indeed be overrun with racists then.
The back shell isn't really involved in heat dissipation per se. Most of the heat is carried by convection out the vent. The critical thing is that the back cover is carefully engineered, in coordination with the spacing to various bits of the internals, to selectively restrict airflow, to produce the needed flow patterns to cool all the internals.

But, yes: if you change the inner mould line there's the risk of some components not getting the airflow they need. It might not even be obvious, as not everything has a temperature sensor.
Moreso, that putting cans on Mars would make us "multiplanetary" in any meaningful sense, as if cans on Mars would help any if Earth got blasted. And, that it is actually going to happen at all, and won't go the way of self-driving Teslas, underground evacuated-tunnel trains, and that cave submarine.

What are the odds people who paid for self-driving will ever get a refund?
I'm confused, why you are both halving that statistic?
Valve can't invalidate your warranty if your opening up the deck wasn't responsible for the damage, at least in the US.[0]

So yes, opening it up and improperly cleaning it (for example, you take a q-tip with rubbing alcohol to clean off some gunk and accidentally dislodge a capacitor) could void your warranty.

It sounds to me like the problem he encountered stems from a flawed understanding that IP:MAC:Machine has 1:1:1 relationship and that subnet:router:default-route:external-ip:machine has a 1:1:1:1:n relationship, which are only the cases for media consumption devices and cloud servers.

And so when he tried to work with a machine without exactly one(1) IP and one(1) active NIC going up the NAT router to the Internet it immediately failed. This is surprising to me that of MANGA, Google seems to be on the weak side with respect to IP networking.
Ah, okay, I didn’t realize that you meant using healing crystals instead of vaccines. I read it as: parents using healing crystals at all is as worrisome as not vaccinating their children.
They did, it's called Half-Life Alyx.
One does wonder...

At what point do Americans decide to get along well enough to force action on this?

Maybe when enough of us have been harmed? Might be what it takes.

Frankly, I would not expect or be willing to pay anything for a sacrifice of that kind.

Asking for the money? Morbid, and another thing I would bot be capable of doing.
Id dream of a raspberry pie plugin that has a mic & IR transmitter that just listens to ads or any semblance of it and just hits mute the moment the confidence interval goes beyond 90% based on the rise in ampltitude. False positives would be straining though, and finding the moment to un-mute is also a bit difficult perhaps. But given that all ads have their loudness dialed up to 11 in relation to the actual program, it might be easy enough to just listen to a large drop in amplitude across the frequency spectrum to hit un-mute. This can be completely off-the-grid with incidental updates if so desired.

Could even put some federated learning into the bag for a slight dystopian flavour - and that sweet VC allure - to also listen to people hitting mute & unmute as a semi-reliable labelling feature. Just sample the time window recording of the frequency spectrum and it may be good enough already.

It wouldn't be foolproof but just good enough I guess. I'd be willing to pay 200$ for a ad silencing IR transmitter with >90% recall.
Holy shit what happened to "have fun, just be back by dinner time"? I'm not that far from my teenage years so the fact that this is already happening to today's teens is a bit terrifying to me. We had cellphones back then and I had an early smartphone (Nokia N95 - anyone remember those?) when at least half my school didn't even have a brickphone, so the capability was there. Bot neither my parents nor the parents of any of my peers ever used it, even later when all of us had proper smartphones with parental control options only a few clicks away.

So what happened? Crime rates are down, kinds these days do drugs and drink at lower rates than back then, I can't remember the last time I heard of a kid go missing... We now have many privacy-preserving options for emergency tracking so there's less of a reason for total control than ever. Even monitoring Internet usage - there are fewer "predators" out there and kids are better at recognising and avoiding them than ever. I don't get it.
You're not alone. Denis has a great technical eye but Sicario so far is his closest to a great film.

Numbers don't prove anything. Can you be 100% sure you're heterosexual? There's no scientific test for sexual orientation.

In reality, there are 2 kinds of orientations: bisexual, and closet bisexual.

Not really. I don't want any advertising company to use any information about me under any circumstances. Working towards that goal is not wasting my time.
You're not alone. I didn't make it past the first 30 minutes or so. Utter rubbish, cashing in on the classic original.

I often sit through ads when watching sports on TV because I can’t be bothered to reach for the remote to mute it. However, when I watch YouTube on my phone, I instantly mute the device and look away as soon as an ad plays. After a few seconds I look back at the device so I can hit the skip button. It always seems like a waste of bandwidth for them to play ads to me, but I assume my behavior isn’t in the majority.
Eventually you might be right. But you’re now talking about theoretical future rather than what the literal monetary cost of the service is right now.

I say that because my point wasn’t to say that Starlink is uneconomical for the poor and always will be. My point was just that the GPs post was factually incorrect because he left off a hugely significant sum (relative to the first month) for the cost of Starlink right now.

The point about privilege only came about after others handwaved that $500 as loose change and I only really made that point to illustrate how ridiculous it was to say “it’s fine to get a payment wrong by half a grand because we’re wealthy”. It just smacks of being out of touch with reality (or perhaps they were just Starlink/Musk fanboys and defending factually incorrect posts if it looks favourably on Starlink?).

My personal opinions of Starlink is that it looks really promising. In fact I nearly signed up 9 months ago myself when I moved house. The kicker was I needed it a available within a week and didn’t really want to run two
service providers. I’m guess given that Starlink is still beta I was asking a little much there. The problem is my current ISP locks me into a 2 year service and as much as I can afford Starlink there’s other things I’d rather spend my money on than paying for two ISPs just for curiosities sake. I’ll probably review that decision when the contract for the current ISP has > 12 months remaining.

I’m sure I’m 5 years time the cost of Starlink will become a lot more attractive to lower income families in the west. Or at least those that might need to depend on it might find it easier to gain access to the service. But I’m skeptical we’ll see the service affordable for most rural communities in Africa, India or South America, to name but a few large regions that could really benefit from such a service. Maybe Musk does have a plan here. He certainly doesn’t owe these people any charity; however it does feel a missed opportunity if some arrangement couldn’t eventually be found.

Anyway, that’s my 2c worth of opinions :)
We're using libraries like this to try to guess the language of a book based on title alone (in case no other information is readily available), and trigram-based algorithms get it wrong often enough for it to be noticeable. I will look into replacing our current library with this one, it seems better suited for the task at hand.
OP, as a general rule, when something you're doing reminds someone of a Black Mirror episode, please re-evaluate your choices.
True, but too small isn't great either. /r/opencv or /r/ComputerVision or /r/JetsonNano rarely have more than 3-10 replies to any post. Too hyper-specific?
Then take half of your advertising spend and redirect it into market research. (I.e. add on the bottom of your purchase receipts, email marketing blasts, etc, something like "$10 coupon if you tell us something about yourself"; where "something about yourself" = "which if any of these advertising campaigns did you actually see.")
>>What makes the US different is the rule of law, due process, and individual liberties

That reads like complete sarcasm to me.

Anyway, like I said - to me this is on the same level as someone asking if an astronaut on the ISS is "free to leave" and how is this not a citizen's arrest and how somehow this constitutes an abuse of liberties.

This doesn't read like a serious question - more like something a very edgy 14 year old would ask and feel clever.
Disclaimer: I work at Google, but this is just my opinion.

There’s another reason I can think of: Google has a great security culture, but like every company, it’s made up of people who may come and go. It takes constant investment to maintain and improve this culture. Project Zero helps to set standards and raise the bar across the industry, including for Google. So it’s not just setting an example; it also actively forces Google Product teams to exercise their security muscles (which includes reacting, communicating, patching, etc.). I imagine that Google would be happy having other friendly actors doing the same and sees it as a positive. (Obviously, this isn’t the only thing you’re doing to invest in the security culture, but it’s one thing.)
I think what's usually being overlooked by 'people in the West' is how crypto-currencies are being used by individuals in emerging markets to evade domestic currency controls. I've recently had the chance to get a glimpse into the crypto volumes generated by that sort of activity, let's just say they're staggeringly high.

Domestic currency controls seem to offer all sorts of arbitrage possibilities that can be exploited using crypto currencies, the cycle usually goes -> some weak currency -> somehow convert to crypto -> sell crypto for USD -> sell USD back for that same weak domestic currency with a markup.

In addition, compared to those currencies, crypto currencies offer both stability and interchangeability into stronger store of values (be that other currencies or stocks or what not). In this system crypto exchanges have become global banks of sorts that allow their clients to manage their now globally available funds.

Putting all other things and considerations etc. aside this is a pretty fascinating system fuelled by weak states and failing economies all around the world. I think as long as those states exist there will always be an incentive for such systems to exist.
In “paper” life, doesn’t instances of such certificates have various levels of notarization: wet stamps, seals, watermarks, actual signatures, actual notarization by a license notary?
