Every food company changes the recipes for their products depending on the market. It was a big issue a few years ago in Eastern Europe with allegations that western companies are dumping the low quality ingredients to the easterners while keeping the same even higher prices in some cases.

yeah, multiple times i have asked people "why isnt brave a fork of firefox" and they say "its pita" and you need quick and easy way to customize, blah blah blah.

then you have half a dozen firefox forks running absolutely fine, each one has its good and bad but the thing is, if these 1-2 man outfits can fork and release their own firefox forks with additional features/customizations, why cant brave? or do they don't want to do the actual leg work and only want to take praise for "doing best", eh
The fact that the document began with 20 pages of word twisting to pretend that Parag lied to Elon, while no such thing happened is really bizarre.

I thought the whistle blowing was about state actors being granted 100% access to user data. Instead it dedicates the first 20 pages whinging about a non issue. I lost any motivation to read the docs any further.

He also complains about data center ops quality at Twitter. While Mudge pretended this is extremely unusual, I have never worked at any fortune 500 that would meet his criteria of fault tolerance, and I have worked at several. With original architects disappearing and employee churn this is impossible. And why does he think this needs to be whistle blown? He sounds really immature.

Is there any thing of interest beyond the elon musk drama?
That's certainly true, I've seen this testimony before and were that the only thing that was off about the document I wouldn't have made my comment. Any one of these elements isn't sufficient to justify suspicion of anything, it is the preponderance of them.

The use of the Mudge is certainly the weakest of the indicators I've presented; what do you think of the strongest of them, the unusual use of emphasis? What do you think of the three of them taken together? If you were the author of this document and you just found out that the public would never see it, only officials at the SEC et al - would you feel like this document was likely to be effective for that audience? Is there truly nothing about it you'd change in that circumstance?
Ahh right, so you still make manual git commits normally, it's just that the Jupyter UI used to fall over when it encountered merge conflict markers in source files. And now it doesn't fall over any more and can nicely represent them because the conflict markers are no longer done for individual lines of text?
I think I have a good idea of what you mean, but for those who don't, could you elaborate on the benefits?
> “While a subset of our training data was filtered to removed noise and undesirable content, such as pornographic imagery and toxic language, we also utilized LAION-400M dataset which is known to contain a wide range of inappropriate content including pornographic imagery, racist slurs, and harmful social stereotypes. Imagen relies on text encoders trained on uncurated web-scale data, and thus inherits the social biases and limitations of large language models. As such, there is a risk that Imagen has encoded harmful stereotypes and representations, which guides our decision to not release Imagen for public use without further safeguards in place.”
Yes exactly :D
I have no idea how to do that and I’ve never seen someone even suggest that’s possible
Who cares about Dijon? It's about the mustard. In the supermarkets around here (Germany) it's hard to get Dijon mustard. In 100% of the time it's the Maille brand that can be seen in the header image of the BBC article. However it contains preservatives and I don't see why mustard needs to contain preservatives. By chance I discovered that Löwensenf is the same as Dijon mustard without preservatives, available everywhere and cheap.
Cool, thanks! Now a question: how a dev picks up related knowledge? I have a BSc and extra 7 years in development, but this area was totally gray to me. My motivation was only to come up a scalable solution for offline first apps with some kind of automatic persistence support, so at the end of the day my design goals were quite similar. How do you come up with stuff at notion? Are there must have books or just going with gut, experience and existing solutions you are aware about?
> a less permissive license drives more revenue in the dual-license model.

But we've so far encountered just one example for that, Even there we don't know the financial status to claim whether it's indeed more successful (revenue wise when compared to a permissible license).

On the other hand we have numerous successful products (by revenue) with permissible licenses incl. those sighted in the OP.

Then again, We all know the fiasco with Elastic.
Yeah that's not how it works. You can't just "put the complicated antenna on the satellite, instead of on the phone" and declare this problem solved. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

I'm declaring shenanigans right now on Elon's pitch but what else is new. It makes me sad that this thread is full of (probably) SWEs in a complete froth who took this at face value with little understanding of how antennas work. No, your existing phone will not be able to work on this service, full stop.

The issue is not getting signal from the satellite to your phone. That's the easy part - after all, your phone receives GPS signals. Satellites have powerful transmitters and high-gain antennas. Even GPS which is considered extremely low-power has a TX power of around 20-25 watts and EIRP is probably an order of magnitude higher after the antenna (probably enough to turn your eyeballs into Easter eggs if you were standing in front of it). The issue is going the other way. For messaging to work, your phone needs a two-way connection. Your current iPhone/Android handset is simply not designed for satellite communication.

"But muh Garmin inReach" ..... have you stared at one and wondered "why can't my iPhone do this"? First, the antenna is the size of a thumb, it looks like a helical antenna to me, which would make sense given that most satellite communications uses something called "circular polarization" to combat things like the Faraday effect. This requires an antenna specifically designed for it. Your iPhone doesn't have one, which means more signal loss. Iridium phones look similar - very Michael Douglas in Wall Street industrial design. Satellite phones and communicators are designed to direct most of the energy upwards towards the sky. Your existing phone does not so you are losing most of the energy in an omnidirectional pattern. Even things like 406 MHz emergency beacons send extremely short message bursts - just a few bytes - the link budget needed to sustain an IP connection (uplink) with an existing handset just isn't there.

So I'm expecting Elon to deliver on the magical complicated-super-antenna that works with your existing mobile handset right around the same time he gives us his FSD Cybertruck. Which is to say, never.
Hey, thanks for your warm outreach and help! I'm trying to use the https://fly.io/launch/heroku page to migrate my heroku application. I am already a paying customer for heroku, but I want to switch based on their direction.

I have authorized heroku access for fly.io page and yet no projects or applications appear in the last dropdown. Is there currently a known issue with this?
I wasn't exactly pleasantly surprised when the extension it made me install switched my default search engine too. I guess in retrospect it makes sense, but at least I don't remember that being a prominent warning.
Three Letter Agencies (2013)
A lot of devout believers experienced mental anguish when hearing the earth wasn’t the center of the universe.

And yet it moves.
I have been avoiding nix for a while since I had a bad time with it several years ago, however recently used it for a small Haskell/Latex environment for literal programming and found it worked really well. I’m probably going to invest time into learning it now, as the online docs seem to have gotten better.
You've been able to configure Postfix to verify TLS for ages; you don't need some new daemon for that. I've written plenty of email systems over the years and have always verified certificates (unless explicitly told not to by the user) and that works just fine.

You're confusing a lot of things that are related but actually quite distinct. That DigitalOcean article talks about STARTTLS, but that's something different than SMTP over TLS. I haven't worked that much with email in the last few years so haven't looked at MTA-STS in detail, but it just seems similar to setting a "always require a TLS connection"; that new Postfix service just looks up the DNS records and such; it's not required for TLS functionality.

Sounds interesting but can you elaborate on the social benefits, challenges and potential downfalls of such an approach?
Rather than suppressing research, wouldn't a simple primer on "why the paper shouldn't be used for hate" suffice, similar to the warning label on a pack of cigarettes? (Unlike cigarettes which are universally harmful, it's unlikely these papers do any real harm to an educated reader. They are only harmful when used completely out-of-context by a moron.)

There is some grand irony that hate groups point to racial differences in "intelligence" specifically. I doubt the members of these groups are in the upper tail of the bell curve...
Hopefully they never will. Nothing I’ve read about RCS in the last two months has convinced me it is anything other than a security and spam hole waiting to happen. If there’s to be an inter-operable standard between Apple and Android, I think it has to be Apple and Google-driven rather than something that makes the carriers happy. Anything at all to reduce their role to dumb IP-carrying pipes is aces in my books.
So instead of debunking or raising the bar of research into race, gender, sex, and more we should just not have any research into it?

Isn't this just going to fuel that kind of "research" in other places but then stand uncontested?

Might sound good in a meeting but doubt this is the way to go...
nix-shell would happily run inside of any container, vm, etc.
It does an ordinary three-way git merge (treating notebooks as plaintext) then a two-way merge on conflicted bits. We opted for that approach because its incredibly simple and has worked perfectly for us (I think since we tend to work with small code cells). I think nbdime has a full-on three-way notebook merge if that's what you need, which can be used together with nbdev's Jupyter save hook to clan up unneeded metadata.

> if your gym bills your credit card at the end of the month

does that actually happen? Most places make you pay up front, at least one month's worth, even if they subsequently bill at the end of the month.

In any case "No services rendered, no accrued charges." is actually the case I'm talking about. You pay a month's worth, then forget about the monthly renewals, and they love to keep billing you anyway, but surprise, surprise: the CC declines. At that point, you can decide if you want to keep paying or not. Which is how it should work.
Extremists may use whatever they want to justify their means, but shody science can make people become radical, radicalized, and then extremists.
It's a gradual change that can be enabled by many things.

What the article says is not to make science, and especially the field in question, one of those triggers.
I haven't looked too deeply at Replicache, but the two differences as I understand it:

1. Replicache is a layer you add over an existing backend. Instant handles the backend.
2. The expose a key-value store. We expose a graph store.

Both 1&2 have pros and cons each way. I think we're inspired by the same problems, and their docs are really well done.
I personally don't care about how it's implemented, markup or otherwise, I'd just be happy to see TUIs return in numbers for modern terminal emulators. SSH apps are slowly becoming a thing, thankfully, but not quickly enough for my liking.

Fruit eating possibly linked to primates' large brain evolution (2017)
Also semi-relevant is the Drunken monkey hypothesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_monkey_hypothesis

> Drunken monkey hypothesis proposes that human attraction to ethanol may derive from dependence of the primate ancestors of Homo sapiens on ripe and fermenting fruit as a dominant food source. Ethanol naturally occurs in ripe and overripe fruit when yeasts ferment sugars, and consequently early primates (and many other fruit-eating animals) have evolved a genetically based behavioral attraction to the molecule.
Oh another thing: do you guys have twitter or something? :) Would love to follow the project and devs too.
> ignorance is never better than knowledge

this is a moral judgement and a strong claim. I can think of a few types of knowledge off the top of my head that aren't making the world a better place

Something like learning how to tie a noose: this is (in most cases) bad knowledge. This isn't something anyone should learn unless they need it for something that isn't its best known purpose

when it comes to something like race/gender/etc, I can't think of one positive usage of that kind of knowledge, if we can even call it that. I'd argue that even the idea of race/gender/etc is against the goal of equality and if we want true equality these ideas need to be discarded
The T550 gets 21 hours of battery life [1] so I'd say those candles are pretty well matched, especially given the possibility to swap one of the batteries in the T550 with a charged one without the need to shut it down which can extend the runtime well past what that Macbook Pro gets.

> This should be handled with care, and extra consideration should be given to whether the tenuous, fallible results from this research will result in violence.

What is "results in violence" though? One person's violence would be another person's justice.

I think trans activism with kids is a severe violence. Would research in allowing transgenderism for children be considered violence or not in your eyes? I'm sure there's people on both sides of the fence, so who would be the one to gatekeep?

Most transgender studies come from the same "reproducibility crisis" and largely the same branch of social/psychology science.

So to put in effect that "we are allowed to suppress science depending on who it affects" would be a bad precedent for when "the other side" gets in power.

Or do you not agree?
Tesla counts any incidents that occurred within five seconds of FSD/Autopilot disengaging as being "under autopilot". Given the driver is meant to be paying attention and ready to take over at any time 5 seconds is plenty of time to take over (and come to a complete stop from ~70mph)

Extremism doesn’t need scientific backing to exist but it does need scientific backing to make the center complacent.

No big deal, I love postfix and dovecot :)
> If you had known in 1990 that the WWW would be used to spread propaganda and track dissidents, you would have probably liked to delay it till more security and decentralization is built in from the outset

The premise is interesting, but at least decentralization was really there at the outset. It is just that market forces shrinked it. I honestly don't know what would have been the best medicine to prevent this. During the 90s I felt there was a larger emphasis on protocols, that almost disappeared during the 00's.
Thank you for the great comment. I will go get the book now.

Probabilistic projections of increased heat stress driven by climate change
Wow. It is really really hard to find the actual images people are producing. Fuck, I do not need another chore like doing that myself this weekend.
You can tell FSD is enabled when there is a blue steering wheel in the upper left next to the gear display and there is a blue line indicating the current route. As far as I know, the only thing that can turn blue next to the gear display is the FSD enabled icon, so if there is a blue mark there FSD is enabled.

For an example of what these look like you can go to 0:38 of the raw footage I linked above which is the start of the first test:

https://dawnproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/raw-foota...

You can also go to 1:19 to observe a blue mark in the FSD icon location during the second test and 2:01 to observe a blue mark in the FSD location during the third test.

Do note that FSD disengages prior to collision during the first test, but it does not fail safe as without driver intervention it still hits the dummy.

Alternatively you can look at the followup test I also linked earlier at 0:33 to see what the blue icon and route line look like:

I'm not an expert, but I believe a receiving radio can make note of the relative phase of the incoming signal across all antennas, and then simply transmit its signal with the same phase offsets. This can happen incredibly quickly on the time scale of milliseconds, and so the typical device really isn't moving that quickly to matter.

I believe modern wifi has periodic "sounding packets" specifically designed for devices to robustly measure that sort of information for beam forming and multiple spatial streams.
Inaccuracy in article on Canada important role in mustard production -

The paper https://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/ag... the article links to states Canada is a world leader in condiment mustard seed marketing, accounting for 70 to 80 per cent of global exports, annually.

TFA transforms that to ...Canada, which produces about 80% of the world's supply...

of exports and of supply are not the same.

Further, https://www.helgilibrary.com/charts/which-country-produces-t... puts Nepal in top position, while https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_seed has Pakistan.

Various other sources have around 150-200k as annual production for a large producing country. That's a lot of mustard, of which Canada is one of several large producers.
After the first few days you won't care that you don't have any sleep. Like, yes, you're tired as hell. But somehow, you just don't ... care (?). You'd take sleep, of course, but you don't seem to be all the put out about the loss of sleep when it comes to your child.

I noticed at first with my arms. My kids would cause them to go numb, cramp up, etc when they would fall asleep in them. It was painful, obviously, but I just didn't care that it was like I would have before being a parent. Before, oh this would have been a big deal. Somewhat normally I think, once I became a parent, my worries and pain levels just dropped away without me noticing. Like, I'd do anything for my kids, but it's not really all that voluntary anymore. I just will, end of story, my higher order functions aren't all that involved, it's more primal and deeper in my brain and psyche that this self-sacrifice comes from. And as such, I just don't care that I get no sleep.

Also, congratz! When it comes to the impending labor of your partner, just remember to be there and hold her hand and tell her she's amazing. Nature is going to take it's course, it's really something to witness. Your partner will do things that you didn't think were possible. Also, you're not going to get any sleep in the hospital either, especially after birth. There are SO MANY tests they run. Make sure to take notes on swaddling too.
What if you move to another place?
From the NPR link [0]:

The glibc maintainers think that the mandatory Annex K bounds-checking is rubbish compared to their optional __FORTIFY_SOURCE. Note that safeclib does the very same optional compile-time checking, just again at run-time also.

They also think that extensions by getenv() are more secure than extensions by callbacks.

The real problem is that Annex K came from Microsoft, and people hated that.
You can give unique throwaway addresses to people you don't fully trust (e.g. newsletters, recruiters) and apply the rules you want. It would be very naive to think that Big Tech won't abuse their market positions.

It depends. With systemd usually a minute, but we have other workloads, so its not comparable. containers are a lot faster, since some steps can be skipped, like ip addresses and other things. Google uses kvm and probably libvirt for the vms, so you can test it localy before.
You don't seem to understand what I mean when I say 'port 443' - i.e. HTTPS. I'm talking about the use of certificates in non-web applications, e.g. SMTPS, IMAPS, database servers, etc. I prefer not to run a web server on my database servers, mail servers and what have you.
The only reason they talk about dialog and "how great it is" is because they want to kill a alert/prompt/confirm. https://dev.to/richharris/stay-alert-d

Even if they were talking about removing dialog entirely https://twitter.com/voxpelli/status/1423207772498415616 (and none of the issues with dialog have been resolved since)

So this top layer bullshit is just a hack to make another hack work. It's not a usable long-term solution, and expect more hacks to deal with this hack in the future.
Yeah, the OP article is trash but the analysis has valid concerns. It seems to boil down to:

There’s lots of very vague language in the bill that we’re going to need to wait for the agency to actually define in regulation. The article authors would rather the law more clearly define things to keep the agency from overreaching.
