Amazon to close US telehealth service as it shifts sector ambitions
It can run on higher end consumer grade GPUs at a batch size of 1, but there are already forks making it more efficient, so the landscape is evolving very quickly right now!
they're talking about the total cost of the project, including the salaries of the humans, their health care, their office space, etc.
That was a very different internet. Search engines aren't something you build once and then you just have them. Constant, extensive work is necessary. It's quite literally a global-scale task to do this effectively.

> Or, maybe this is just a new “fad” for juvenile orcas that could go out of fashion as they grow up, Jared Towers, director of Canadian research organization Bay Cetology, tells NPR. In the 1990s, scientists observed another strange orca trend, but it has since faded away.

Imagining the behavioral / fashion trends of Orcas over time is really fascinating :D
Distinguishing between sales and payments is required, but any confusion is basically impossible in online systems such as this schema would be used in, in real examples.

Typical accounting GUIs present transactions and ledgers such that it becomes intuitive for business users to enter sales/invoices. Entering the above transaction in those GUIs might cause confusion.

The schema here is used by an online system recording business events as a type of log of user interactions. It lives in a sql database, and thus needs to rely on row constraints to guarantee double-entry. Transactions are never entered manually or randomly.

The effect of split transactions can be achieved by using an intermediate account. Those accounts have balances which are not guaranteed to be zero, but that is unavoidable and sometimes OK and intended.
There is a limit to what the human eye can see. 8K is overkill when sitting across a room and may not even be justifiable sitting 2 feet away with a screen size of less than 32 inches.
What issues, exactly? Companies are free to operate their own TOS and decide what activities they allow on their platform. There's literally nothing about dropping kiwifarms as a customer that puts Cloudflare in a weird position. And there's nothing stopping kiwifarms from operating on their own (and thus being directly responsible for the speech on the site).
> And performance wise it gets them a lot of benefits.

I am not convinced about that for two reasons:

1. Good money has been invested into making JS fast. If you look at actual benchmarks it is currently quite easy to end up in a situation were your WASM-based solutions might perform WORSE. So at least for now the performance advantages are not that great to begin with.

2. On the frontend, you still need JS to use the DOM. Getting data back and forth from JS to WASM can become a bottleneck. Plus rare processing speed is rarely an issue on the frontend and IO-bound stuff is something JS is already good at.

If you don't do frontend stuff, you don't have to use WASM, you know? You could just go native binary in the first place especially as modern languages have great cross-compilation support. (Edit: If you are after performance mainly and don't care about sandboxing and other advantages.)

Yes, if you need to do some image processing on the frontend or want your users to mine crypto for you, yes WASM has already uses but generally I am a bit skeptical.

Now WASM is awesome for getting you the C/C++/Rust world in the browser, sure. The performance improvements might be overrated though considering the additional development costs compared to just using JS.

(That was more a dig at the WASM hype in general, of course. Not meant to throw any specific shade at AssemblyScript. Still an interesting project regardless.)
What is the environmental irresponsibility of AirPods?
I'm not saying they are doing a good enough job, but that doesn't mean their approach isn't entirely without merit.

Even ignoring the infohazard angle if they published everything immediately that would escalate the race. By sitting on their capabilities and waiting for others to publish (e.g. PaLM, Imagen vs GPT-3, DALL-E) they are at least only playing catch up.
The article makes no allowance for things like loyalty or obligation.

In this framework, if you don’t like how Gitlab, YouTube, or Gmail is treating you, then you can use a competitor, build your own replacement, or suck it up.
It is not too much to expect of a dozens-of-billions-of-dollars worth multinational corporation to conduct an investigation based on that "hearsay" and to react on that investigation.

Operating a global business does not absolve the business from the need to prevent harm caused by it, in fact some form of abuse management has been expected from any good Internet citizen since its inception, e.g. in Usenet [0] or e-mail in general [1].

Or for a real-life equivalent: if I were to stand outside of the home of a person and blaring into a megaphone that she deserve to die... I'd at least get the cops called on me for a noise violation or a harassment charge, and if I were to incite others or coordinate their behavior, I would get a conspiracy charge. Why should Internet trolls enjoy legal protection for the same behavior?

This is getting to only be about semantics. That’s your definition of ‘rights’ based on your specific set of political beliefs, but it doesn’t reflect common usage or what people are referring to when they call housing or healthcare a right. They mean that society, via the state, should provide those things to everyone.

And you absolutely would lose your right to safety without police or some other form of protection. The ‘right’ might exist in your own mind, but it won’t do anything to prevent someone else who doesn’t share that belief from killing you and taking all your stuff. Rights are only meaningful with power behind then.
I'm going to do the opposite of shooting you down in flames.

If there were a website where people with VR headsets could login to being a passenger on a model railroad running through someones home, or simulate being an ant-sized train engineer trying to keep to schedule on the old Kitchen Carpet and Foyer line, that would be killer. It also doubles as a nice gimmick to show off a local business. Imagine getting a model rail passenger tour of the novelty hotel room you just booked.

This is brilliant and you should do it. Stop being intimidated by electricity. A drone controller is overkill. A model train is just a DC motor and speed control is just how much voltage you apply to the tracks. Wire up the tracks to a Raspberry Pi and just script it all in Python, don't waste effort trying to jerryrig a drone into something that its not. For the camera, a standard home security IP cam will do the trick, or just an APP that turns any old disused phone into an IP cam.
This doesn’t help people who work at small companies. They still get screwed by car focused society without proper work socializing.
I took a similar approach with PHONK https://phonk.app

The differences are:

- It uses a Javascript interpreter

- It includes an on-device-hosted WebEditor, so you can code also from your computer

- Simplified API

- API that allows to do cool stuff such connect to Arduinos, BT BLE, MQTT, sensors, etc

After some time on hold I picked up dev again and I'm about to release a pretty nice release soon. I invite you to join the Discord channel as I will start posting updates there :)

Ah, ok. So the "ve" was just a placeholder for the value in the "amount" column for each entry.

How does this handle the fact that credits increase the value of some accounts (e.g. sales, equity) but decrease the value for others (e.g. assets)?
There are tons of artists who value speed even without managers or deadlines. I can see animators making great use of AI to:

1. Quickly create storyboards that convey the mood and style of the scenes
2. Sketch out rough ideas for characters, environments
3. Generate the in-between frames of animations

AI will be used as a tool, it's the artists job to judge the output, guide it, and tweak it as necessary. Just like a movie director. Except unlike directors who need an entire team of workers, AI will empower independent artists who will now be able to create entire animations on their own.
That sounds like a hybrid event like the WWDC in June. Journalists and influencers and some developers watching opening speeches and with a hands on opportunity.
Relevant parts:

"They used perovskite light-absorbers and either platinum or cobalt catalysts for the reaction. The platinum catalyst splits water into oxygen and hydrogen in the presence of sunlight, while cobalt triggers the reduction of carbon dioxide and water into syngas."

"The team replaced the thick glass substrates they had used before with thin conductive plastic substrates. They coated these with few-micrometers-thick layers each of perovskites, conductive metal-oxide and polymer layers, and cobalt or platinum catalyst."

"It produced hydrogen and carbon monoxide with efficiencies of about 0.6 percent and 0.05 percent respectively for each gram. That is low, but comparable to natural photosynthesis, which has a typical efficiency of 0.5 to 1 percent"

Not sure why anyone would give this guy money after the WeWork fiasco. I'm betting neither this company nor flowcarbon (his wired carbon credits crypto company) will be successful in the long term or be as impactful as WeWork was.
it's certainly better in term of storytelling than some of the worst Ghibli's like Howl's moving castle, Tales from Earthsea (to be fair Hayao wasn't involved with the second).
In general, I'd place it in the middle, not as good as the greatest movies but still quite good.
Surely the waves of massive European brain drain around WW2 and the fall of communism had something to do with it. It makes perfect sense that there would be compounding benefits to being the safest most powerful polity in human history.

There is a very clear reason for that, and it's in the notes of the post. There is very clear disdain for the twitter user, primarily as he seems to be a 'traditionalist fascist'. On Tumblr, especially, they are not particularly fond of the author in any way.

This post was originally screenshots, but was then rewritten with additional points + additional sources. The idea was to separate out the 'the world was better in the past!' and transform it to a critique/discussion of capitalism.
That’s a joke. 7 years later I am still picking up headphones then remembering I can’t plug them in without going to find a dongle. If there was an iPhone with a headphone jack I would buy it.
As always the americans know very well how life in Russia was.

"after oil money came to Russia, quality of life improved"

Quality of life improved for people who sold oil.

"However, I can believe there was more garbage lying around due to decline in public services."

So quality of life for most of other people has declined, or is "garbage lying around" a sign of good quality (of life) ?
No, just being verbally threatening is not assault on its own; there needs to be an imminent threat of physical harm for it to be a crime. But this isn't the standard your coffee shop is interested in, because they don't want waitstaff to have to wait for a crime to happen to them before removing someone who's harming their business and upsetting the other customers.

> Elon Musk has moved the needle much more than all of the universities combined it seems like.

This is incredibly narrow-sighted. How many of “Elon Musk’s” (really, the people he employs) achievements have been made possible by foundational scientific research funded by public grants and made available to the broader community? I would argue a nontrivial amount. Much of tech entrepreneurship is technology transfer, not foundational. These are all parts of a complex ecosystem and no one piece is solely responsible for moving the needle.
No, that's a misunderstanding. It says you can't come up with a general algorithm for arbitrary programs to detect whether they will halt, it says nothing about particular programs.
I would suggest prototyping stuff in lego, it allows you to quickly try an idea, see if it has legs and if not discard it and do something else in a couple of minutes. I've prototyped various industrial machinery like that and it saved me years cumulatively.
Hmmm maybe you are right.

I guess I was reading more context into the “we don’t know yet” parts and thinking about the current EU debt and inflation situation. Maybe Britain is in an equally bad situation, I don’t know.
In many European countries advanced research is not conducted in universities.
While I don't agree with gp's price estimate of $50M, you are also forgetting that to train the final model, they had to iterate on the model for research and development. This imposes a significant multiple over the cost to just train the final model.
You're missing that I asked for current projects in Lisp.
Isn't it pretty normal to have an opinion on what companies or people do? I think Google should and should not do certain things, but my opinion is not enforceable in any way.

I don't think that's "ugly", and I don't think people are trying to supplant the role of actual courts?
I'd like to chat with the founder of openart.ai about a possible opportunity. Can you provide me with your contact info?
Yeah, it's stupid not to include it. Sometimes you can guess it (poorly) by looking at the references, if there is more than a few. If the latest one is at 1998, you can guess the paper is from somewhere around 2-5 years after.

In this particular case, latest publish reference is at 1998 and one marked as "to be published" at 2000 so that makes it a bit easier to guess pretty exactly :)

> There is such a thing as a minimum speed and cyclists violate that every single day.

On every road where minimum speed is introduced bikes are banned anyway. At least in my country. It's just motorways and expressways. Every other road does not have minimum speed and bikes can go as slow as they wish. Anything else would be discriminatory towards less fit people.
You cannot replace the batteries without prying them apart, and Apple by default just tells you to throw them away and buy new ones.

You're basically arguing that it isn't just the right of large organizations to deplatform content to make the world a better place (which has no consistent definition). You're implying that they have the obligation to do this. This stance is very dangerous even to those who might benefit from it in the short term.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
I think its cultural.

Automatic cars were expensive, only posh audis, Mercs and top end "british" cars had them, all the way up till the mid 2000s. they still feel expensive to buy (even though electric cars are all autos now) and there is a fear that they are unreliable and expensive to fix (not sure if that's still the case)

Here in the UK if you only plan to use automatic, you can take an automatic driving license, but you can't drive manuals. So its a bit pointless really. Although one of my mates did it.

Unless I'm going to do track driving, I don't really want a manual (actually if its track I'd rather semi auto)

However, when driving automatic car, I still get the panic "ARGHH CLUTCH OTHERWISE YOU'LL STALL" reflex when I am coming to a halt.

Go ahead and improve this one situation, but don't forget to also help the other people (who might otherwise suffer even more).
If you locally save an email to a file in Outlook for Windows, it uses the EML format. For some reason, the Mac OS Outlook uses a different format. They have not been able to read the other’s format. I have some people who like to send emails with previous emails sent as attachments in EML format. It takes some gymnastics to be able to read those attachments. I see from another comment that the Mac OS Outlook may finally be able to read those files now.
Shouldn’t call people dumb. The system is dumb. Corporations are dumb. The people are still people.
It's only sad if you think art or humans sacrificing their time has some kind of fundamental moral value rather than being just another type of product. As a materialist I don't really subscribe to that. I see work as a negative thing that society progresses to reduce.

The keypressing is clearly, objectively, not useless. It is useful, just less costly and more accessible to way more people. I'm generally happy with this.
Yeah seeing a three year old article get posted at the same time Cloudflare is getting called out for supporting hate websites is interesting timing.
> block everyone else's ads

Nothing wrong with that. Every browser should do that by default.

> except their ads are supposedly the good ones

You can literally turn them off. Only way for advertising to get better than that is to stop existing.

Also, if you do turn them on, they're the most benign ads I've ever seen. Basically a small text notification. Easily dismissed and ignored.

> they cut you in on it by giving you some of their made up token currency

They pay you in cryptocurrency for your attention. The idea was for people to spend those coins on the sites they like. I think the execution could have been better. Most people just amass a large amount of coins and exchange for other cryptocurrencies or USD.

It's not "made up". At the top of the cryptocurrency bull market, 1 BAT was worth almost two dollars. I've seen people with thousands of BATs just from browsing.

Interesting choice with SFML. Always curious to see what people choose for graphics when it comes to C++. I tried a simple game with that which worked alright, but then I wanted to port to Android and things didn't go very well. I switch to SDL2, where there's more official support for Android, but it's still not ... let's say ... enjoyable. Probably because I'm going against the Android grain in trying to avoid android-studio and gradle. I didn't need those for Windows64, Linux64, ARM, and I'd rather keep the same CMAKE, gui-free dev env for Android as well.

So there's some reason to say that it's inaccurate to classify the site as far-right. It did not start out as a far-right organization or anything. It's always been a troll farm whose purpose is to organize people who can take others down, but wasn't established as an alternative to stormfront or something.

However, their victims are nearly all under the "left wing" umbrella. And if you go and read the posts on the maniacally long threads discussing their victims (especially the ones they've successfully goaded into suicide), it's riddled with far-right hate speech. So if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it a duck?

Why should it be outrageous??

When cloudflare accept provinding service to a customer they are linking their brand to whatever their customer do.. Should they not have the right to stop serving this customer if they are doing indirect damage to cloudflare business??

If someone get murdered because someone did something in a site hosted by cloudflare, sure cloudflare is not direct responsible for causing that murder but they do share the moral repercutions of it.. it sure get people asking, would that person not have being murded if cloudflare did not provide this site with the plataform they used to achieve this murder??

Having their brand linked to a site like this can be damaging to their brand\business\moral stance and they would be totally within their right to stop proving service for that..

as for the site/company/organization, cloudflare is not the only player around, if cloudflare stop providing service they can move somewhere else, they can even buy their own servers and host it themselves if no third-party hosting is willing to provide then services..
It sanctioned use of a particular decentralized protocol, that is resolved by the contract addresses that it added to the SDN list.

It's highly likely OFAC overstepped its statutory powers in doing so:

https://www.coincenter.org/analysis-what-is-and-what-is-not-...

One indication that its action stands on weak legal footing is that it had to mischaracterize the autonomous protocol as part of an entity that includes the Tornado Cash developers and DAO in its press release, just to rationalize the designation.

The protocol, being immutable, is outside the control of any party, including the open source developers who wrote its code, so is obviously not a part of any such entity.
What in the name of heavens is a "wired carbon credits crypto company"?
In fact, requiring Cloudflare to perform an act like forcing them to host a website is suppression of Cloudflare's own speech.

If it's not illegal, Cloudflare should be able to make their own determination on what they choose to host and facilitate. Others can have an opinion on whether they wish cloudflare did that or not, and they might choose to do business (or not) depending on that. I think this is all completely normal and none of this is censorship.
