I rather see history repeating itself with the rise of Hitler as consequence of the excessively punitive treaty of Versailles after World War 1.

At the risk of invoking Godwin's law, I wouldn't be surprised seeing Putin going fully fascist to hold together a Russia that's disintegrating.

I'm also surprised at just how many of my friends have turned from dovish "can't we all just get along" types into rabid "Russia Delenda Est" types who think that anyone who believes that even a modicum of this is perhaps America's fault is committing treason.

For what it's worth, what Russia is doing is wrong. But I do absolutely understand Mearsheimer's perspective that this is basically a Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0 moment. The United States should have clearly recognized that trying to get Ukraine into NATO or even the EU was clearly going to make the Russians think they're being backed into a corner security-wise. We could have just as easily kept trading with Ukraine and cooperating without starting the process to join NATO.

The fact that plastic isn't biodegradable is one of the main reasons there's a push for alternate packaging materials. Plastic overuse is a major ecological concern, to the point that some people are positioning it as an issue on par with global warming, and one we have time to work on fixing.

In other words, avoiding plastic is the whole point here.
The encryption is data dependent. The homomorphic computation itself cannot be data dependent. Homomorphic encryption says that even if you see all the intermediate encrypted values, you will not know what the encrypted input or output value is. So side-channels do not matter for the computationally heavy evaluation part. In this paper they attacked the encryption part.
It doesn't really matter who the citizens blame, people really over-emphasize the revolutionary potential of sanctions but the far more important & practical purpose of sanctions is to limit state's economic and technological capability to continue its destructive behavior.

Look at Iran now: a pariah state whose power has been effectively contained, limited in its ability to fund a substantial warchest or buy modern weapons & technology. It's currently working with the US on a new nuclear deal to ameliorate its heavy sanctions.

Russia can look forward to a similar future. Military invasions cost a lot of resources, the current invasion is largely funded by European gas sales and a variety of foreign trade. Aside from weapons & tech, military morale is an important factor in combat effectiveness, but it's also affected by resource availability. A less resourced military is a less capable one.

We're beyond just deterrence now. Russian citizens can blame everyone except Putin, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that when Putin's military lackeys draw up plans, when they threaten others, they do so with a fraction of the tech and resources they are used to. Let's see them bully a 21st century world with a 20th century economy.

The day to day in lab really depends on the type of lab you are working in.

If you are working in analytics, running assays (tests) on things like blood or urine samples (hospitals or clinical trials) or a more recent example would be a covid clinic, the day can be very monotonous. There is a lot of paperwork involved due to the regulations you need to adhere to (GMP, GCP, GLP). This is one of the reasons I didn't like working in pharma. It's better now to things becoming digital, but the point is the work can be very repetitive.

If you are working in an R&D lab things are more dynamic. You might be running similar experiments from one day to the next, but the context is always different. Even though you hit a roadblock and get stuck for a day, a week or a month, as things progress the type of work will change as the project evolves/progresses.

You can work in industry in either of the above environments, both provide valuable experience. Industry is stricter and more rigid than academic labs.

Day to day it's still very hands on. Things are progressing such that you spend less and less time in the lab as things become automated and the workflow becomes digitised, but you still need to go into the lab even if it is to setup the robot. We don't yet have robots to control the robots, although maybe sooner than we think. At high level, most R&D lab employ some sort of design, build, test, learn (DBTL) workflow, even if they don't call it that. Depending on what the focus is, each step in that cycle will be slightly different.

The amount of software is growing every day for all applications. You have everything from basic software like Lab Information Management Systems (LIMS) to help with basic ops to more complex software to help plan workflows and analyse data (Synthace) to much more specific software like protein modelling (Rosetta) or genetic manipulation (Geneious) and the list goes on. I am barely scratching the surface here. I regret not having more training in python.

If a webserver sent me an exact copy of your car but encased in ice, and I used an ice pick to carve it out, you would still have your car, and i would have a copy of your car. That the web server wants to me buy a flame thrower to melt the ice is irrelivent.

Stealing does not apply to digital goods. You cannot deprive anyone of something infinitely replicable. You can only prevent those that you do not deem worthy to access it. and that attitude makes a person a bad person.
Incredible. Thanks so much for this. Just wondering, do you think you’ll do the schematic at some stage?

Oh, nice. Yeah, that ticket addresses the biggest (though not the only) part of genres I’m missing (and no, not just multi-genre). It looks like this part at least might soon get integrated.

As a general note, I find it fascinating that it could be something lagging so far behind, for me playing music is either via artist (maybe, as a secondary sort, album) or via genre, rarely anything else.
Are there any issues you've encountered with this process at your scale ?

I’ve taken to just making /v0 or /v1 the root of every package I maintain. Even though it’s not required I think it’s a good practice.

It doesn’t affect the package name (unless you choose to), only the import path. So it eliminates any ambiguity about the interface you intend to use and it only affects import statements. Personally I think that’s a good balance.
It's more of a mission statement than a motto, anyway.
Yup, instant purchase, if/when ligatures are added.
Start with the product solutions, and if nothing seems pliable, start backwards and work with the sum results.

For the hard one, 612 is not an easy number to find, but basic math shows that 6+1+2=9 so the number is divisible by 3 (and I won't go any farther to prevent spoiling it) Finding a system by which you create the situations that allow the operands and factors to be discovered while also flexing your basic math skills is the fun of the game.

Many of these paywalls simply have either the full body in the response or will return it if you ask with the right user agent (e.g. the one that google uses). These plugins then either remove some overlays or impersonate the google bot.

> And some work with remote recovery interfaces (something that Tesla doesn't seem to be focusing on) would get it to L4 in the kind of constrained environments Waymo and Cruise are operating in reasonably quickly, IMHO.

It takes more than that. Just think, Uber's driver had lidar, safety driver, and still killed a woman. There's _a lot_ going on under the hood that separates the L4 from L2/L3 drivers.

One thing I think Tesla's missing is a repeatable evaluation framework for how their software performs (a.k.a what you need to convince yourself of the safety). As I understand it, they mostly test autonomous software by deploying it in ghost mode (current/future miles) instead of simulating on past miles. A lot of long tail problems (which is what's hard about autonomous driving) are only visible on the order of millions of miles. Some cases you may never encounter at a high enough rate, and you may need to build synthetic data or use other tricks to teach your driver how to act.

Consider construction zones: where are the lanes formed by the cones? Where should I enter, and where should cars come shooting out? Every construction zone is quite nuanced and contextual -- can you prove the autonomous driver can handle situations reasonably? I think Tesla's software isn't close to being able to crack those driving situations. I mean they make basic mistakes with traffic lights still (which are very challenging in and of themselves; how about those lights where there's an arrow? light that is out?)

If you lack infra to save difficult cases and no ability to generate synthetic situations and resimulate, it gets real dicey when you try to draw conclusions about the real-world performance. Their simulation capabilities are also limited by the fact that they only use cameras; depth estimation / object contours are not accurate enough to do the kinds of sims the Cruise and Waymo do.

Without good ground truth it's really hard to do proper safety evaluation. I suspect Tesla would either need a huge breakthrough in vision technology (maybe they can use something like this https://waymo.com/research/block-nerf) or at least map places their cars are driving so they can properly assess rates to give themselves, regulators, and customers confidence that they are safe for L4. Otherwise, their "good performance" will just be a product of survivorship bias, and bad performance will really hurt people (this is kind of happening now).

Anomalies are detected based on a statistical analysis of the data and is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. We have lots of plans on improvements in the future and curious also to learn how you would approach this problem as well.
It will never be 100% correct. But that has never been the goal. The goal is to be 10x safer than humans. I don't know exactly when it hits that level, but at this point there doesn't appear to be any reason it cannot get there eventually.

Yeah, if you plan on playing games on (or running) Linux at all, you need to get an AMD card. Pretty much non-negotiable at the current time.

Amongst other reasons, lack of support for anti-cheat systems (like EAC and BattleEye) have stopped big-name games like Destiny 2, Fortnite and others from easily porting to Linux. The Steam Deck has started to change that, prompting the ecosystem to slowly come around.
I just launched Microsoft Teams for Linux on this spinning rust work machine here.
It launched a meeting link (letting me into the room) in between 2 and 3 seconds (one-onethousand two-onethousand)

I last launched Teams on this machine a couple of days ago.

For a "fair" comparison (keep in mind, again, the whole point I was making that RAM dominates these days), I then ran:

sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

And launched Teams again.
It opened in between 8-10 seconds with ALL OS caching of disc dropped.

I think what you're seeing here is Windows being helped along by SSD making it usable...

It reminds me of the change we made in Hedgewars. We had no idea it was taking 20-30 seconds to launch our gui in Windows since it opened instantaneously in Linux even with all caches flushed. We had to add lazy page loading to get reasonable performance on Windows - it was probably all about NTFS being insanely slow (and maybe crap at laying out data reasonably).

*Edit - I updated my time estimate upwards slightly for teams after testing the flush several times and my own counting skills.

The flush was also a good test of launching firefox, since I did it once between to update nightly, it also opened very quickly post flush. Barely noticeable delay.
I worked at a telco with Wordpress powered website. Our control panels and backend systems were not Wordpress.
Similar but also very different. Refusal to host is not the same thing as a ban, Parler continues to work just fine in the US and is accessible from PC, Android, and iOS devices. To make it really the same thing you'd need to have these companies blocking access not just refusing to host or provide access as part of their business.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it can't be done, and I don't think I actually did write that anywhere.

Your reply is to my point. Australia is pretty divided politically, and it seems there's a not insignificant portion of the population who are intent on railing hard against anything that benefit someone else.

Yeah, it's political, and I think my point was something like: bigger populations distributed over large areas are difficult to appease.

About half the population of Australia doesn't live in the big cities.
Sure. The popular sentiment/protests were necessary but not sufficient is my point. Gorbachev was willing to give up power and a coup needed to be organized to hold onto the Soviet Union. In this case, Putin is going nowhere unless he's removed at home by other Russian power brokers. Moreover if Putin gives up the war and goes home, he'll have no face to show in his own government, and he will be disgraced by the West; he's committed so far down this path that it's political suicide to stop.
I agree, but I do think performance is worse in general compared to Windows. I have exactly zero data to back this up, just the "what it feels like".
I remain hopeful that an ALS cure will be developed in the coming years. Knowing that there is a 50% chance my mother will get it or 25% chance that I could can fill you with a unique form of existential dread.

Criminals like murderers? Yeah, everyone agrees with that, it's not controversial. Total surveillance? Not everyone accepts this fundamental injustice. Their actions violate the principles countries like the USA were literally founded upon. As far as we're concerned, they're the criminals here and this technology is just self-defense against their continued abuse.
Absolutely it is hard! No denying that.

This is one of the challenges we face against companies that are spinning out research that has been publicly funded for many years or on a more personal note, going up against people who came from more prestigious institutions. But we think we have identified a niche that is worth pursuing.

I think Zymergen is an interesting case study and serves as an example to companies developing 'new products'. Like most things there is no perfect solution. New products open new markets, new opportunities, and may seem less risky at the beginning, but what happened to Zymergen is an example of what can happen when rolling out new products (in this space of course). Drop in replacements for example don't face those same risks, but they have other challenges of course.

Putin has already failed on most if not all of his goals in invading Ukraine. While decapitating the government is still possible, that is only one step in the process of subjugating Ukraine.

I spent 3 years driving 54,000miles around the coastline through 35 countries. [1]

In my experience, Swahili wasn't widely spoken, really only in a region of East Africa around Uganda/Kenya/Tanzania - which I also realized many foreigners come to think of as "Africa" because that's where they go on safari. It was great to drive from Tanzania into Burundi, or Ethiopia into Djibouti and not see a single foreigner for a month.

Certainly French is the language of the West Coast and of many hundreds of millions of people. I'm guessing if it also had Nigeria's 200million it would be the dominant language on the continent.

English, again, is common in the places tourists frequent, but otherwise not widespread outside the capital cities.

The vast majority of people even in very, very remote mud hut communities spoke at least two languages. 3+ was very common.

I give a shit, and with all the talk of how dangerous misinformation is, it seems like a lot of people should. At least, that is what we’re told. I can kind of understand the notion that it’s meant to boost morale, but the idea that western media outlets can now claim misinformation is ok when they do it, especially considering they very often claim that it is a “threat to our democracy.”

Also, are you implying that I’m an agent of russia? I know people in the ukraine, and I am not happy at all about what’s happening, so fuck you.
I'll quote Theo deRaadt here, he was talking about virtualization but I would guess the same could be said of containers:

IV is an interesting case because the entire game was built around repercussions for your specific actions, although the only long-term repercussion of doing comically evil things was that you had to spend a bit more time throwing money at beggars and overpaying at the reagent store.

V switched to a simpler karma system that mostly affected how badly you were penalized by dying and whether you were able to complete the game.

Reputation systems were pretty common in CRPGs starting in the '90s. In practice, though, a lot of those systems just boiled down to "does everyone in town want to kill you the moment they see you or not".

I don't feel this is cheating. Sure, I agree there could have been more transparency, but I don't think this amounts to cheating.

If Samsung had used this performance limiting feature during testing, and then released phones that didn't have it still citing the better battery numbers, then yes that would be cheating.

That's not what's happening here.

Is Intel cheating too because their processors can allocate tasks to more performant or efficient cores?

Is Intel cheating because they can exceed the TDP ratings when thermal and power constraints allow it?

When Volkswagen and other automakers applied different software to cars that were being emissions tested and ones that are driving on the road, that is cheating.

This is different imo.
