It sounds like you are saying, "Don't worry, if we can't manage to pay back the loans we have taken against the planet's nonrenewable or slowly-renewing resources, we can just declare bankruptcy and start over", which is not as reassuring as you seem to imagine.

Bankruptcy works on a small scale, as an act of grace, because the bankrupt party can bootstrap themselves back into productivity using the functional economy around them.

When too many people go bankrupt at once, the economy crashes.

When the whole planet runs out of ecological credit, and we all go bankrupt at once, where are we going to find another civilization to bootstrap from?

All the easy energy is gone, forever. There will never be another coal- or oil-driven industrial revolution on planet Earth. If we reach bankruptcy on the scale of a planetary ecosystem, it will most likely be permanent, as far as Homo sapiens is concerned.

I have asked people who work with preventing money laundering how expensive it is, how much you get back from a launderer in clean money for every dollar you pay him in dirty ones. They have all estimated a 20-25% premium.

That doesn't seem like it would be sustainable if only 0.00000001% was caught.
the comment seems to place the blame and responsibility squarely on the consumer

yes consumers create the demand, and yes corporations are simply fulfilling that demand, but no, changing consumer behaviour is not the solution

it is unpleasant to say, but most (all?) people are not rational actors, and no matter how much proselytising to the choir on obscure message boards goes on, that is not going to change

given the free opportunity, especially with the urging of self-interested corporations, most people will become addicted to cigarettes, or slot machines, or micro-transactions, or heroin. the solution is not to teach some bible of consumer behaviour to a group of people that probably don’t do these things anyway, it is to use public organisation to force these large, perversely-incentivised groups of people to follow a set of rules that maintain a healthy media space

I don't think it does, if you are alluding to electronic music that's also just as much about the human aspect of it. Lets be real, at the commercial end of the spectrum electronic music is trivial to make, but no one wants to hear "Song seed 2aslk3j25lh" they want to hear what their "Music Hero" has made. Another aspect is DJing, DJs don't even pretend to have made the music yet people will come out just to hear a specific DJ play other peoples songs. It's almost entirely about the human figurehead, the popularity contest, the status and the fashion of it all.

Some labels might try to present artists that have AI music, and no doubt it would still be consumed. But it's a huge risk when it to the human aspect of it as people want authenticity.

Music is consumed in a huge array of contexts though, where I think AI music will end up is as music in movies, backing tracks in adverts and youtube videos, as filler music for all kinds of other media.
>No.

Assume for sake of argument that it were possible to develop an encryption regime which protected bona fide users, but did not protect criminals. That would be a good thing.

As a matter of public policy, criminals shouldn't be given the right to communicate for the sake of furthering criminal activity without the possibility of lawful interception. It's here that some technologists lose sight of the real world. In the real world, society expects that authorities be able to fight crime using proportionate means.

The real issue is that you can't separate the two from each other - weakening encryption for criminals means weakening it for everyone.
No need to be so rude.

From the law enforcement side, that is the system working as it should - the police investigated and cleared him of any wrongdoing.

That Google can close someone's account for any reason and without any recourse is a wider issue, and one separate to this EU regulation.
In crawlee, you can use the useIncognitoPages option to create a separate context for each page https://crawlee.dev/api/browser-pool/class/LaunchContext#use... Not sure if it will be enough to offset your RAM requirements.

From our experience, RAM is not the limiting factor. It's the CPU. You need at least 1 CPU core for the modern browsers to work reliably at scale so if you're using a container that has 1GB ram and 0.25 core, it's just not worth it. If you have access to containers that have strong CPUs and not a lot of RAM, then it's a different story.

There's also disputed allegations of chemical weapon use in Syria. I'm not sure why they've not been seen in Ukraine yet; I think we're back to "not actually that effective in open warfare".

Hi! I am considering myself as a generalist, that means jack of all trades but master of none. I do not work as a programmer and never did but I love to study computer sciences.

I think your book with best practices also must contain something about TDD, Lisp macroses vs C++ ones, some bits of knowledge on system programming, and how software makes our world worse because of abandoning engineer culture in craft of software development. I do not think I can be a co-author, but I might help you if you have some interdisciplinary questions or if you need somebody to read your drafts.

English is not my mother language so do not expect great writing skills from me but if you have some unanswered questions from fields of general knowledge I will do my best to let your project be as good as you have claimed.
There are other companies providing this service. It's not the ddos protection they're after though, but rather the identity / origin protection. Everyone else has been dropping them pretty quickly - only cloudflare is ok with using their lawyers to actively protect the attempted murders.
Reusing SQL might be a smell?

I have seen people go crazy in stored procedures or via ORMs with super complex queries.

Avoid complex queries (with more foresight about how to structure, cache and query data) and you might not need the SQL code reuse.

There might be some less than ideal bits you would live to DRY up and would if it were OO or Functional Programming but perhaps let it be in SQL.

SQL is performance programming anyway so you are allowed!
How many EU beaureaucrats got their training in East Germany, I wonder?
Or is it rather that they are too young and do not know about/remember what constant surveillance does to trust in a society?
2008 is probably about the time Apple started serious work on in house CPU cores, rather than specifically the M1? The A6 chip was the first with an Apple designed core, and was released in 2012, so they would have been working on it for several years before.

So the TL;DR is the EU Commission wants to implement surveillance in Chat applications to "protect and combat sexual abuse of minors", because nobody is against "combating sexual abuse of minors", right?

Probably later they extend that to "protect and combat right wing opinion", because nobody is against "combating the right wing opinion", or even "protect and combat the climate changes", because "Who are against it", right?

Sounds like the a lot of "paranoid people" were just right, i guess?
I applauded this Dell developer thing until I got my first Dell laptop ever (not an XPS) and learned that laptops can have audible coil whine (apparently many XPS also have this). I also learnt just how annoyingly buggy docking stations can be.

So nope, gonna stick to Thinkpads for personal laptops I have to buy myself.
Will this go in actually? It's quite unclear to me (esp. not knowing anything about how EU las making/passing works). IIRC last time Chat Control passed here it sounded as if all of this was still in proposal state, or something like that. Whereas on https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/messaging-and-chat-co... one can clearly read things like

You are also lecturing others.

Anyway, I disagree. Now more than ever it is necessary to examine and weigh the desires of the lizard brain. The lizard brain will never find equilibrium when it has supremacy in its locality and has desires. We know this. We've seen it in nature, and we've lived it ourselves. We're too powerful and capable to be contained by our surroundings, so now we're going to have to think our way out of this or cook the planet.
The funniest part of all that is, Bohm's pilot wave theory isn't even wrong. It's one possible interpretation of many,...

First, everything I've read and learned about Bohm tells me I would have liked the man had I ever met him - even the well-known portrait photo of him hints at his maverick nature. We need more troublemakers in science and physics to stir up the orthodoxy. :-)

Second, I rather like the Pilot Wave theory despite, as you say, its unsettling implications. It sort of makes sense to my simple mind.

I don't consider myself sufficiently expert to say how much leeway there is in the theory but I'll say this, others such as Many Worlds seem somewhat even more incredulous to my mind (despite Carroll's
eager proselytizing the cause),
but I'm open enough to be convinced come more evidence.

Re Copenhagen, yeah it's a 'fiasco' even though it works. Had I had sufficient brains and been around at Solvay I'm damned sure I would have had arguments with Bohr. Despite Bell, the EPR Paradox mob were onto something, at least they didn't take 'no' for an answer, similarly so with Bohm.

Intelligent-thinking dissenters are good for physics.
is this just like what they have done to google ads algorithm or youtube algorithm right?
People always want to ascribe the smallest slice of pie in luck, so that they get praise for what they achieve. I broke friendships with people who insisted that it wasn't their country's job market that had more opportunities for self-taughts to start their career, but it was their hard work and free will that made them chase the opportunities, which is akin to saying it wasn't the door that was unlocked it was my legs that helped me walk to the door.

Also, I cannot get myself to imagine that the captain of the ship had a plan to have 40 people drifting in the chance that they find someone else to approach them for restocking, and if that's the kind of captain we want more of I'm out.
It's easy to achieve high precision when you just define a hit very broadly. See also the political flap about teachers factually describing the existence of alternative sexuality as 'grooming'.

If you want to see the lie behind any of these child protection surveillance initiatives when they talk about things like 90% precision or millions of hits per year ask them how many of those detection of vile child predators resulted in an arrest warrant -- not even an actual arrest, or an actual conviction, but just an attempt.

The answers is extraordinarily few and that tells you everything that you need to know.
Speaking of which, I've seen a couple of YouTube clips demonstrating that even tiny shaped charges are incredibly powerful and have a surprising range. Suicide drones don't have to touch you, even a tiny one could kill from meters away.
Of course it takes longer to read and comprehend the method signature when there are types in it, since it makes the method signature longer. But by the time I make it to the end of the signature, before I've even taken a look at the function body, the types have already given me important information (assuming this is a codebase where MyPy types are enforced) that will make reading the code much easier, because I don't have the mental overhead of needing to infer the types of half a dozen arguments and the return type while reading the code. And often, the type signature is the information I was looking for anyway, and as long as I trust the function to be implemented correctly, I can skip reading the body entirely.

For instance, if I see a function signature like "def parse_int(x: str) -> int", I can probably guess what the function will do. It might be parsing the entire string as an integer, or it might be parsing the first integer it can find within that string, but that type signature by itself eliminates a lot of weird things that could plausibly fall within the purview of a function named "parse_int". It can't return an iterable over all integers parsed from the string; it can't conditionally return an int if there's a single integer and a list of ints if there's more than one; it only accepts a decoded string (i.e. not bytes or any other string representation); it can't take a list of strings and return the first integer it finds; it can't return a string representation of the parsed integer; it can't return None if parsing fails (meaning it will likely throw an exception instead); and so on. Thus, even if I need to read the function body to see exactly what it's doing, I go into it thinking "in what specific way is this function parsing a single integer from a single string?" rather than "I wonder what this function does".
How ironic. On one hand EU forces legitimate businesses to spend billions of dollars to satisfy GDPR in the name of privacy. On the other, they are planning to stream teenagers' private pics directly to designated "investigators".
What's the difference between those 4 checkpoints?

From the GitHub's README:

sd-v1-1.ckpt: 237k steps at resolution 256x256 on laion2B-en. 194k steps at resolution 512x512 on laion-high-resolution (170M examples from LAION-5B with resolution >= 1024x1024).

sd-v1-2.ckpt: Resumed from sd-v1-1.ckpt. 515k steps at resolution 512x512 on laion-aesthetics v2 5+ (a subset of laion2B-en with estimated aesthetics score > 5.0, and additionally filtered to images with an original size >= 512x512, and an estimated watermark probability < 0.5. The watermark estimate is from the LAION-5B metadata, the aesthetics score is estimated using the LAION-Aesthetics Predictor V2).

sd-v1-3.ckpt: Resumed from sd-v1-2.ckpt. 195k steps at resolution 512x512 on "laion-aesthetics v2 5+" and 10% dropping of the text-conditioning to improve classifier-free guidance sampling.

sd-v1-4.ckpt: Resumed from sd-v1-2.ckpt. 225k steps at resolution 512x512 on "laion-aesthetics v2 5+" and 10% dropping of the text-conditioning to improve classifier-free guidance sampling.

Which one is the general use case checkpoint one should be using?
I, too, am a crusty oldtimer.

I think that a lot of the work in languages and techniques, stems from a distrust of programmers. Most companies seem to think their programmers suck, and take a highly defensive posture in their tooling and process.

I started seeing this in the 1990s, with Taligent (their style guide was a fun read), but I think it predates that.
I am very curious about the author's comments on whether all these variations have been made automatically.

I think that with a standard Ablenton project, for example, with several VSTs (this sounds like a Kontakt library) and replacing the midi clips by the Magenta's MusicVAE output for example, you could make infinite variations.
It doesn't apply at all.

If you get accidentally flagged as criminal it can easily destroy your live, without a years log curt case you might never get properly un-flagged even if you are innocent but then the damage is more then just done.

Worse after wards the chance to again be attacked when you are innocent aren't that small because even if you get un-flagged the system is most likely remembering that you had been flagged once. At least in similar cases involving police this is not uncommon.

You might literally end up in a situation with the state forcefully taking your child away because you send pictures to a doctor to ask if idk. some rash is dangerous. Even if it get's resolved it will traumatize your child, and likely you, too.

There are many ways to improve the situation with children and the internet, but this isn't a good one I think.

Within 10 years, I've never worked on frontend-only nor backend-only. My responsibility is the same because I don't introduce unnecessary complexity. All team members can do anything, one could do better than the other. Don't open pull request for too long, that's only problem, otherwise no problems at all.
Can be helpful to turn off watch history during such sessions, or to remove the videos from your history afterwards. Agreed that there should be an automated solution, but you can avoid it today will a small amount of work.
I don't know whether their take is the generic "diversity is always good" nonsense or whether they specifically referred to PoC as cheap immigrant labor that will help the economy and make locals richer (as that in practice is their role in Germany and most other rich countries).
The challenge of reverse debuggers is knowing when it should dispose of the recording; otherwise, if the debugger keeps recording the full sequence of states and actions, it would cause a memory leak and/or unbounded growth in disk usage. Such debugger would not be able to sustain a DoS attack if debugging in production (it would spam the debugger with lots of different states generated by the attacker); in fact, it would likely make it easier for an attacker to DoS a service as it would consume computational resources.

One person with a million autonomous combat drones is a lot more dangerous than one person with a million rifles.
You're right. Low-carbon baseload, massive overprovisioning, storage or combination of these are needed to make renewables practical.

The problem is, lots of people are working against low-carbon baseload for stupid reasons, storage is not really a scalably solved problem and if you account for overprovisioning, the price isn't great.
This is very akin to something that I have been interested in for some time. Being bilingual myself, German and English, and having a keen interest in historical natural language progression and evolution has led me down a few roads related to learning models and personal experiences. Testing teaching approaches for myself in regards to other languages using non traditional models and approaches, many may seem abstract but this is how I feel language learning should be approached. The cookie cutter methodology of one size fits all does not work, i.e flash cards, standard repetrion and memorization etc. I have taken a more functional approach to language modeling personally, not so much in a technical sense as my coding skills are still subpar, but the ideas and approaches are grounded in the use of current NLP models and methodologies and how to tailor them to myself. Rather difficult to lay out the approach in a "short" reply as it is multi faceted and may sound disjointed in this format. However, I feel I have found a "new" model, or approach to a model, of learning which is non traditional and works through engaging the individual through their own interests and experiences to tailor the experience in a way that doesn't feel like task engagement or an obvious game model approach. Language is also rooted in mathematics and, in my opinion, can not be disconnected from the model especially regarding type text. I have found that hand written script as well as the type script and font formats also reinforce these aspects, much of this idea is based in pattern recognition and repetition within the context of all language but not in a "conscious" way. Hopefully this reply makes sense. Would love to make the time to show some of the methodology I have approached this with and developed and solidify approaches into a less abstract response, either way good luck!

From the article:-

> For the advocates of Ostpolitik – the new “eastern policy” of rapprochement towards the Soviet Union and its allies including East Germany, launched the previous year under chancellor Willy Brandt – this was a moment of supreme political consequence. Schiller, an economist by training, was to describe it as part of an effort at “political and human normalisation with our Eastern neighbours”.

The West German bureaucrats of the time were dangerously naïve hippies in pinstripe suits. They believed that by drawing Russia into trade with the West, it would inevitably become democratic and liberal. (They were warned, repeatedly, both at the time and throughout the following decades.)

That was the "we". I hope "we" know better now.
That's like walking into a kindergarten class, and yelling "Who wants ice cream?"
