Their in lies the power of the internet. It exposes who and what wants to control the narrative. This is what needs to be quelled. The need and want for control is toxic and needs to end.
I have played with these in the past and found that rawtherapee results look far less appealing (or need far more effort than what I was willing to invest) than Adobe Lightroom for non trivial settings.

I wonder how things compare now.

It is great that these softwares are offered for free though.
First 8chan, then Parler. Tomorrow it might be you.

At some point the service providers have to be able to stand on a utility status and provide equal access to all comers.
I suppose you might get used to it if it was fairly regular every day? I used to live right across from a hospital trauma center helicopter pad. That was annoying because most of the time it was no issue, but every once in a while at like 2am, all heck broke loose with "Thump, thump, thump" in the air and bright lights pouring through my windows. But then, I couldn't get too annoyed, as the fellow in the helicopter undoubtedly had it much worse than I had.
Hijacking this: does anyone know how to get vscode to use a python interpreter inside a docker container for linting? I’ve resorted to using the docker container, but also having a python env so that I can tell vscode to point to the python interpreter in the env to get linting. Otherwise, dependencies come up unresolved.

I did some googling, but I’m unfortunately not experienced enough to be able to describe the problem succinctly to google.

Using pylance, btw.

TIA!
It looks like the Green Party didn't have a single minister in 2016 when they turned off all the nuclear post-Fukushima - so why would the Green party be responsible?

Who has been in power for the last 20 years exactly that could have built renewable power instead of quadrupling down on Russian gas? It wasn't the Green party.
I'm interested to see what he decides to do approaching 2030.
> But with nuclear with go with knee-jerk reaction for some reason

That reason is propaganda. The anti-nuclear people use anything they can to whip people up into an irrational frenzy whenever anything happens, and it has worked pretty well.

Exactly. This is a terrible system because it takes away all agency from student to understand by what yardstick they were measured against. The teacher just makes up a grade based on their personal feelings of what this student 'deserves'.

As a non-military guy, this is what I've always found really nuts about military institutions. In normal life, people do an extraordinary array of difficult and uncomfortable things, and generally learn a whole lot for specific roles in their workplaces, without anybody raising their voice.

In normal life, an organization that bullied its employees in the way that's routine for militaries would be considered extremely dysfunctional, and you would expect to see extremely dysfunctional and toxic people flourishing in that atmosphere.
I mean, yes, but that would be rather an extreme case. Most of these cases fall well short of drunk lawnmowering.

The prices have dropped in the black market also. I assume a lot of dealers are buying wholesale or clearance product and reselling it in many cases. Either way, I have consistently noticed street prices being cheaper than dispensaries, and they don't include the 16-36% tax. Additionally, at least in the United States, people still seem extremely concerned with the process of having an ID scanned at the stores etc. I've watched people walk out because of it and almost -everyone- asks privacy-related questions.

This is irrelevant. Uranium, being unbelievably energy dense, is truly trivial to ship in meaningful quantities from anywhere in the world. Australia has the world's biggest reserves for example. Plenty of ways to acquire uranium without relying (and financially benefiting) from putler or order nondemocratic regimes.

I wouldn't call 9/11 "limited". Nor is Yemen, or, earlier, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran etc.

The fundamental of all of these is oil and now, gas. Removing the demand for these will remove the necessity of engaging with these propped up monarchies and autocracies.

I can perhaps see the logic for not supporting multiple U2F devices that could each be used independently, but surely if that was the reason they would enable people to use m of n devices if they weren't, as you say, being half-assed about it.

Indeed!

The daemon is not powerful at all, almost all the logic happens in the client.

The client does the parsing, job ordering, and tells the daemon exactly what to do.

The daemon, only required in multiuser environments, does only two things really.

- ensure that the /nix/store is protected as the daemon should be the only process able to _write_ to it. Everything can read from the nix store; no nix required at all.

- execute build commands in a sandbox. Providing isolation between multiple builds.
Except it isn't. I guess it's not fashionable to talk about old cars anymore, back in the day cars were "simpler" i.e. fewer specialized components, less computer more mechanical component.

Whether the cars were better or worse, it meant a lot of independent and home grown car mechanics. We still have autoshops, but fewer, and its also much more difficult to source parts, except by relying on cheap knockoff parts from China. We barely have a manufacturing base at all anymore.

Right now, IBM computers are pretty much king. It wasn't always that way and if Apple took over you'd have much the same issue. It's the same set of market forces, I'd argue this isn't an analogy at all.

That comment is way to emotional to give it more than a few minutes of thought. It mixes facts with an unnecessary reaching commentary.
You don't even have to go that far to shoot down GP's argument. The blogs can be censored just like TikTok, as long as ISPs are incorporated in local states. Whether censorship happens by telling TikTok the rules, or telling the ISPs the rules seems inconsequential to the democritized availability of information.

Starlink et al. have a unique possibility of being state-agnostic and even leave citizens room for plausible deniability. (The next problem is how Starlink is payed in a way that states can't block, but it seems people are working on that...)

A plausible scenario but probably won’t happen in this case, Could be more like overseas subsidiaries of Bayer, seized by various allied countries in WWI and only reunited in 1994.

The reparations bill (both during and after the war) will be high and I assume various assets, including foreign currency reserves, will end up going to fund the reconstruction of Ukraine.
> It also has contracts with Gazprom in Russia with guaranteed Prices and Deliveries.

Is anyone under an illusion that Gazprom in Russia will honor these contracts, now that their branch was seized? And if not, what methods are there to enforce these contracts?

The Russians seized the planes, which can fly but need spares and checks. The Germans seized the pipelines and the storage. Both have some utility in the interim, but both are ultimately useless.
Only tangential to the article, but does anyone find risky that absolutely critical services depend on one or two foreign private companies?

And other than losing money, what would be the consequences of Gazprom pulling out of Germany completely? I’m guessing that Russia just doesn’t have enough economic leverage to do so.
Nit: nvm is fork of rvm. nodenv is fork of rbenv. The rbenv model works much better than nvm model because it uses PATH executables instead of heavy shell functions.

Regarding the suggestion to “do things manually” — what is the value of doing things manually? For me, it is very far away from how I want to spend my energy, which is doing computer things that only I can do. I am happy to outsource environment variable fiddle faddling to someone else.
I am reminded of Andrew Tanenbaum's Minix os: before Linux became the belle of the ball, minix implemented many unix functionalities in a less efficient but clearer way than existing unix builds (many of which were not open source) and the still nascent bsd/linux/gnuos/etc, and it meshed nicely with his textbooks on OS design. It was functional on it's own, and by Minix 3 was a full os in it's own right (Intel still uses it in various ways) but balanced pedagogy with performance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minix gives more details.
I work specifically with video game performance, mainly as a graphics programmer, and often focusing on getting things to work well across multiple platforms. In my experience the performance issues are almost always a combination of how much is being simulated and rendered, how it's being rendered, and how much stuff is kept in memory at any given time.

If you can improve culling before rendering and physics, minimize the surroundings streamed in to your immediate vicinity, and optimize some of the heaviest materials and post effects, that goes a really long way.

Of course, there's an endless list of caveats depending on what your game specifically is, but even in an open world game where things happen off screen the above applies. You just have very simply LODs/imposters for faraway visuals and simplified logic running at lower frame rate for characters in other parts of the world.

Yeah, after buying a macbook pro I decided to buy an earlier generation of macbook air with some usable ports on it, there is no way I'm going to go around with an additional box. People complain MS is user-hostile but Apple does the same, just in their own way.

Putin blocking media ... sure... dictators block stuff all the time.

EU blocking RT.com (and a few others) was quite a shock for me,... really a thing that should not be happening in EU (no matter whose propaganda it is).
So glad that Mike has set up a sustainable model for building rock solid infrastructure, however:

I can’t stand that you need to pay for a pro license to avoid completely avoidable data loss. Sidekiq doesn’t use RPOPLPUSH for moving jobs around until you start paying — doing the exact same thing with a different, more correct command. No new infrastructure or configuration is needed. To me this feels sketchy and like a betrayal of the pro-version business model — willfully introducing data loss in order to drive upgrades instead of just removing capabilities or features.
If you actually watch the video you can see they are no longer allowed to upload content so I think you're wrong. It's also going to be very difficult to host anything when the government has a total crackdown on internet. You host some videos of war there and I can guarantee it would come back to you very quickly.

What do you mean by "have no control over the content you provide"?
I happen to know someone in this case, and am not assuming good faith from the company by any means. I trust and respect the individual.

I'm also generally interested in the comment moderation problem myself, and have been working on it myself for some time. I guess my judgement is clouded by my hope that there is a reasonable excuse for the team(s) at Google to not have solved it by now.

Perhaps it is naive of me to think this way; if it really is as simple as "this does not affect advertising revenue" then that would be quite nearsighted of Google. And, as I mentioned earlier, I am of the opinion that quality comment sections would increase engagement (and revenue as a result), so it doesn't make sense to me.
Copywriting is a skill that can be used to persuade or convince someone to take action, such as buying a product. Copywriting that sells is effective when it's tailored to the audience that you are trying to reach.

And the other does with suiciding.
Sure, GPT has to model H -- that's a way of putting it. However think of how the algorithm producing GPT works (and thereby how GPT models QAWH) -- it produces a set of weights which interpolate between the training data --- even if we give it QAWH as training data, implementing the same QAWH patterns would require more storage capacity than is physically possible.

I think there's a genuine ontological (practical, empirical, also) difference between how a system scales with these "inputs". In otherwords if a machine is a `A = m(Q | World, Hidden)`, and a person is a `A = p(Q | World, Hidden)` then their complexity properties *matter*.

We know that the algorithm which produces `m` does so with exponential complexity; and we know that the algorithm producing `p` doesnt. In otherwords, for a person to answer `A` in the relevant ways, does not require exponential space/time. We know that NNs are already exponential scaling in their parameters in their even fairly radically stupid solutions (ie., ones which are grossly insensitive even to W).

So whilst `m` and `p` are equivalent if all we want is an accurate mapping of `Q`-space to `A`-space, they arent equivalent in their complexity properties. This inequivalence makes `m` physically impossible, but i also think, just not intelligent.

As in, it was intelligent to write the textbook; after its written, the HDD space which stores it isnt "intelligent". Intelligence is that capacity which enables low-complexity systems to do "high-complexity" stuff. In other words, that we can map-out QAWH with physically-possible, indeed, ordinary capacities -- our-doing-that is intelligence.

I think this is a radically empirical question, rather than a merely philosophical one. No algorithm which relies on interpolation of training data will have the right properties; it just wont, as a matter of fact, answer questions correclty.

You cannot encode the whole QAWH-space in parameters. Interpolation, as a strategy, is exponential-scaling; and cannot therefore cover even a tiny fraction of the space.

Ie., if I ask "what did you think of will smith hitting christopher walken?" it is unlikely to reply, "I think you mean Chris Rock" firstly; and then if will does hit walken, to reply, "I think Walken deserved it!".

Interpolation, as a strategy, cannot deal with the infinities that counter-factuals require. We are genuinely able to perform well in an infinite number of worlds. We do that by not modelling QA pairs, at all; nor even the W-infinity.

Rather, we implement "taste, imagination, curiosity" etc. and are able to simulate (and much else) everything we need. We arent an interpolation through relevant hisotry, we are a machine direclty responsible to the local environment in ways that show a genuine deep understanding of the world and abiliyt to similate it.

This ability enables `p` to have a lower complexity than `m`, and thereby be actually intelligent.

As an empirical matter, i think you just can't build a system which actually succeeds in answering the-right-way. It isnt intelligent; but likewise, it also just doesnt work.
>I mean, this entire thing about the grades is a great case in point: it's a bad system from the start

Is it though? It's not like it's only used in one country. It's been adopted globally by pretty much every nation on earth. I think the reason for that is that there really isn't any other way to do education at scale.

Aka, the I.T. House of Quality!!!!

https://japan.irca.org/dcms_media/other/House%20of%20Quality...
As residential development continues to expand and natural gas delivery systems do not to match in many areas the use of propane has moved beyond the rural US. I have a house in a suburban neighborhood developed in the last 10 years and all the houses have buried propane tanks instead of natural gas hookups. The propane fuels heating systems, hot water heaters and stove tops. Most have grills and fire pits also attached. I have all those plus the propane fuels an emergency whole house generator.

How often tanks are refilled depends upon your particular usage pattern and the time of year. Refills can occur on demand, on an automatic basis determined by looking at your past usage patterns or as in my case triggered by an IoT connected meter which notifies my propane supplier when my tanks fall below a pre-determined level. Depending on the time of year it can be 3 months or 6 months between fills.
Is it though? If paid streaming services started showing ads by default, the experience would definitely be worse for customers.
This article is confusing or confused. It conflates the people and companies that use the internet with the network itself, and then supports its argument that the internet is splitting by talking about what's going on with TV networks. There's a lot of division going on in America, but I think they've failed to see its shape.
Though they are often not just a cable. But a chip inside the cable, presumably acting as slave for both hosts - and I guess fully compliant in theory at least.
I've wasted so much time trying to get pyenv to work properly and failed. Switched to asdf and things just worked.
Just because you're using unreal doesn't mean you need to have one actor per entity (for example). Using [0] as an example, there's no reason you can't implement a cache optimized simulation algorithm in C++ and pass the results out to UE4 instead of whatever layer factorio is using.

To be fair, factorio is a pretty good example of when the existing options offer limited value (lock step networking, _very_ simplistic rendering, very little in the vein of "gameplay" features), but it's one of very very few. For every factorio, there's 100 2d side scrollin platforms that are written in a custom C++ engine rather than using unity.

Ah well, if Russia says it then it's justified.
This is a fair point - that people are seeing different things in Russia and Ukraine.

But can we reflect for a second that we are all in the same boat? We don't know what we are presented on screens is real either. Who's to say we are receiving the truth? Are our leaders beneficent? I think not.

We are all in the same boat. We are all propagandised. We don't even know what is going on anywhere else, except for what we are able to personally verify. And even that is limited by how we are able to explain and frame our experience!

> The IT department could have just as easily installed similar spyware for Windows or macOS.

Just a nitpick here, yes school IT could do a remote install of spyware if the user was privileged and agreed to it. But a privileged user could also uninstall it. Which is not the case here. In my experience with MDMs the school has to physically have the laptop to install a permanent MDM or purchase the laptop and provision through an activation portal. My experience has been Intune Autopilot and ABM.

Google Work MDMs was notorious for remotely wiping personal devices which is why I never allow work to install MDMs on my personal items.
