> I have officials in the EU on the record that IP addresses are deemed personal information and if your business uses AWS and unintentionally passed IP addresses over to any resource in the US, you are technically in violation.

Of course, everybody knows that. You have to have good reasons to store people’s IP addresses (ie security logs, which must be disconnected from the tracking/telemetry system).

> Will you be hanged for this today? Probably not. But all it takes is one negative press cycle for the idiots there to interpret and enforce this as they have shown the willingness to do in the past.

If the regulator finds out that your analytics or recommendation system (which again is not the system where you store logs) is collecting and processing IP addresses without users’ consent, they will ask you to stop. If you don’t they will eventually fine you.

> The point about unelected bureaucrats isn’t the unelected part. It’s the lack of oversight or consequence or clear demarcation of legislative power from the executive.

GDPR has been made/negotiated by the European Parliament (which is elected directly), by the Council of the EU, which is composed by ministers of member states, and by the Commission (whose members are elected by the Parliament and the Council). These are the legislative and executive branches of the EU, not a bunch of unelected bureaucrats.

If you were referring to the regulator, well, all regulator bodies are made of “unelected bureaucrats” by design (that’s why they are referred to as “independent agencies”).

> The bureaucrats have taken it upon themselves to issue multiple specific rules that go over and beyond the text of any law. See the case of the CNIL in France. They had a court ruling around their rules for cookies on Google go against them and they continued to insist that they would enforce said law.

It seems that you are very agitated because the CNIL (some unelected bureaucrats) imposed a blanket ban on cookie walls and then the Council of State (some other unelected bureaucrats) held that such blanket ban could not be imposed. An honest observer would acknowledge that these things happen everyday (the Council of State wouldn’t otherwise exist), the matter is quite complex and that the gist of the matter hasn’t changed: “in order for consent to be freely given, access to services and functionalities must not be made conditional on the consent of a user to the storing of information, or gaining of access to information”. So one may still be fined for a cookie wall.

If what is upsetting you is instead a court case, the only one I could find is the recent 150mln€ fine that Google appealed on jurisdictions grounds and that was upheld, again, by the Council of State.

Either way, I wouldn’t get too agitated about complex court cases in foreign countries thousands of kilometres from my home and whose language I don’t speak.

> Much of the stuff you mention like shops treating rich customers better predates tech and just is kind of how the world is.

Of course, human nature and corporate greed don't change. The difference is scale. In the past stores had to know you were rich to treat you better. They weren't checking your bank account balance at the door. Now they can and increasing do exactly that.

Same with real spying. Maybe you in 1980s china you had to watch what you said around your neighbors. Today you have to watch what you say while alone in your own home. It's just even just what you say today either, but everything you've said or written over decades that can be mined. You don't have to go to the other side of the globe to see historical examples of how this would have been abused either, Joseph McCarthy would have loved to have this data.

Again, the tech isn't the problem. It's great that was can film police abuses. It's great that we have GPS. What we don't have are regulations that prevent the abuse of our data which is collected and disseminated at an unprecedented scale and never goes away. there exists a permanent record of what you've said, what you've done, and everywhere you've been. We're going to see it used to hurt people more and more often. There are already plans to use this data to attack people who have gotten abortions. It could very soon be used against those in homosexual or interracial relationships as those too are now at risk of becoming crimes.
Are we sure there's a difference?

The credit card transaction isn't about the specific money. A Bitcoin transaction about this Bitcoin A is different from one about this other Bitcoin B. If I do two offline transactions paying with Bitcoin A, but keep Bitcoin B each time, then even though I received goods worth two Bitcoins, the blockchain says only one merchant gets Bitcoin A and neither gets Bitcoin B. But if I do two $100 credit card transactions, those aren't for the "same" $100, when settlement is completed two $100 transactions adds up to $200.

Yep, that's a fair point. We'll be building interactive communities as well. We expect our community to have many well-informed investors, and therefore expect the conversation to be value-add to everybody using Feather.
I hate PostgreSQL. It's overly arcane and feels like something from the 1980s or early 1990s. Everything is clunky and manual and "mainframey." (Is that a word?) Unfortunately there's not a lot that's that much better. The commercial options are not even much better really. Maybe a little more polished.

CockroachDB is the biggest one I've been watching but unfortunately it still seems to have some limitations around performance with complex queries that rule it out for a lot of things.

Norway has 5 million people, insane gas reserves, is a monoculture of ethnically similar people, has basically no immigration to speak of, and owns 2% of every publicly traded country worth a damn.

Yes!

I don't know about past investments. But I found one part of the report that shows the potential return:

Page 11:

>Without action, the current generation of students now risks losing $21 trillion in lifetime earnings in present value, or the equivalent of 16 percent of today’s global GDP. Relative to current incomes, this economic cost is disproportionately borne by low- and middle-income countries, in which this generation of students could lose $11 trillion of lifetime earnings.9 In addition to this intergenerational inequality shock, evidence is mounting that the shock has worsened inequality within the current generation of children, as those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and other disadvantaged groups have suffered larger learning losses.10 Putting this as annual earnings equivalent, in low- and middle- income countries, this implies that the average person of the school-age generation might see a reduction in annual income of $975.
If the model is learning the nature of code and synthesizing new code then it may not violate some licenses. When people do this its usually fine.

However, if the model is simply compressing code it sees into the model weights, just memorizing snippets, then outputting those snippets, that’s much more likely to violate licenses. Like when people copy+paste from some licensed code without attribution (even if realistically nothing is enforced most of the time).

The truth is likely somewhere in the middle. Lets say 20% of code is stored directly in the weights but the rest is synthesized. That’s a problem for the whole product.

We already know models do a little bit of both depending on the data coverage. Common structures like if/then, loops, etc. are probably “understood” because the model saw them in lots of contexts. However, specific functions, especially those that are seen only a few times in much the same contexts are more likely to be copied. There’s a spectrum here from shortcut learning to understanding.

OSS doesn’t really have the access or resources to evaluate this. Github isn’t really incentivized to share any analysis they’ve done here.

What’s interesting to me is that their solution to this problem is to put the issue on their users/customers. By default, crawl everything public, ignorant of licenses, and if the customer has license concerns its on them to disable public code matching.
Well, if we go back to 2000, said justice refused to recuse himself from ruling on the presidential election despite his wife being on the winning candidate's presidential campaign and transitional administration.

Seems a fair reason for the house to conduct an investigation to decide whether to send the matter to the senate for trial. Note none of that actually depends on Gore having won the vote, BTW.

I'd also like to know more about said justice's wife's role in the last election and if she involved her husband in any way to prepare for yet another Supreme Court intervention.

Yes but.

Converting CO2 to anything still requires an energy source with a non-trivial amount of Joules/kg of CO2 fixed. This is in addition to any energy required to make a catalyst or maintain potency of the catalyst.

If you are using chemicals, you need energy to make those consumable chemicals.

Nothing is free. There are no free lunches for this.

If it's not light from the Sun, it has to be from something else: fossil or nuclear being the best high density (i.e. faster more scaleable production source of energy).

Nothing is free. There are no free lunches for this.

Git is just a tool, or better, a toolset for software development.
Saying that it is too hard to me is a huge red flag. It means you do not want to spend the time, or the effort, to learn it.

It's like a mechanic saying that a wrench is too complex.
Such contempt is not unique to "these days". And for what it's worth, there is no less contempt for the educated, never mind the intelligent, among those subcultures who praise and harvest ignorance.
You have made my point for me.

There is a minimum level of knowledge you need to know to use git. It is not as straightforward as, say a simple text editor. The problem git is solving is more complex than that, and therefore understanding how to use it requires investing a significant amount of time in learning how it works.

If I was going to go back to my previous commit, I would use "git reset" to go back to the commit prior to the one I just committed. The only reason to use "git reflog" as part of that process is to see which commit was prior to the one you are working with now (in order to pass it to "git reset" to undo the changes).

> "Undo" is a reasonable choice if you barely understand what git is for and "reflog" is not.

But "git reflog" is not an undo mechanism. It can be used to determine a commit SHA to reset to (in order to 'undo' the last commit with "git reset"), but it is used for a bunch of other things also. It is appropriately named for what it does.

If you "barely understand what git is for" then the solution is to learn the minimum you need about git in order to use it effectively. I am not talking about mastering git, that's an entirely different topic. I'm talking about basic-level knowledge. Again, the required initial time investment for git is significant, but in my opinion it is worth it.

If you don't feel the investment is worth it, then you should use something else.
I think how many certs and how up-center in your cv you put them matters.

E.g. if I'm hiring for a junior dev and get some self-taught person having done a couple of relevant online courses and so far managed to get a tech support role looking to become a programmer I'm often interested in talking to them.

On the other hand, I have seen cv's from senior enterprise/government engineers, 10 pages long, plastered all over with certs, titles, abbreviations, version numbers, iso standards, etc. and I have absolutely no idea what they actually did or achieved in their prior jobs even when googling a dozen terms. They might be great in the context they are working in, but they are from experience not a great fit for the context I'm hiring for.
Gensler has criticized the "gamification of trading" in which commission-free brokerages encourage excessive trading using lights, noises, notifications and other gimmicks to generate more PFOF.

The USA is a country of states. Europe is a continent of sort-of linked countries. I don’t want to pay for them anymore given how much they pretend armed defense is unnecessary. Good luck to them but I don’t think we should be paying for their defense.
Private schools--or neighborhoods with a good school system--are basically about segregation. Every single black child I've ever seen--with one notable exception--had a super arrogant streak, in one case it was a one-time thing, in every other case like holy shit (though another one I sometimes had good conversations with, it just varied). Like out of nowhere, spitting in my path in US--that's racial bullying on their part, they're trying to impress white boys--literal white boys, white males under the age of 18--that they can even intimidate white men. So then what? What's the endgame of those underage black boys? What are they trying to accomplish? Whom else are they trying to impress?

And so then you just want to avoid them, because nobody can punish them without undergoing that which Americans and especially Californians are most afraid of--being accused of racism.

California is built with this form of segregation in mind--highways, no sidewalks, no public bathrooms, extortionate rent (huge percentage of income, 40% is common) with the homelessness that is its direct consequence, crazy zoning (you could economically build 60-story skyscrapers anywhere in Palo Alto), concrete everywhere with many places inaccessible except by car, hospitals out to fuck you, firmatage, terrible public transport--all out of fear of harm from minorities which can believe it or not be out to get whites--have that specific intent of harming whites, and they get convicted for hate crimes but those crimes never make the news--which they never punish, only prevent.
I don't know. This feels like it is leaning too heavily on single words. Translate aunt, and see that that is similarly difficult.

Still, I can't and don't reject the idea. Would love to see a comprehensive study. At a personal level, I don't remember these things in school, either. They were archetypes, but nobody was a solid archetype. Such that I find it hard to believe you don't see folks through some of these lenses.
I recently got the same tablet in a cheap second-hand deal. Seller had never used it so battery is excellent. Bought it because I wanted to kill time by installing Linux, and it actually wasn't as bad as expected. Could have just disabled secure boot and be done with it, but that was probably where I spent most of my time. Waydroid is was easy to install so I can run both Android and Gnome, but x86-64 Android is so limited in software that I uninstalled it.

What I found was that it's a cool way to play Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Playing that game on a tablet gives the feeling of playing an interactive board game. It runs smoothly in Wine. A pretty important thing in the game is the ability to right click, which didn't work, and I would assume Windows have the same problem (I don't think Windows tablet support would be sufficient), so I wrote a mouse hook in win32 c that enables long press to right click.

There's lots of annoying nuances, like the Gnome 42 icons in the activity list is really small, the on screen keyboard is small and almost unusable in landscape mode (but big in portrait mode) and camera works for gstreamer apps only so no browser support (and the suggested fix doesn't work for Fedora 36).

I removed Windows and have locked the boot order so it won't be altered.

All in all 10/10 as a tablet for someone looking for excuses to tinker with Linux (and win32!).

I also think that we use our phones as a way of coping with how shitty our quality of life is in the modern world. Many people, including myself, are so stressed and exhausted from modern life that I think being able to zone out on my phone is a gift in some ways.

Yes phones are designed to be addictive in a negative way, but I think we should also recognize they are a safety blanket we can take anywhere with us that costs almost nothing to use as much as we need. We should partially put the blame on the society around us that makes us need thar safety blanket so badly.
