It doesn't matter. The Supreme Court's logic was "sure, every individual part of this is completely legal, but if you consider it as a black box, it feels like a different thing which is illegal, so we're going to treat it like it's illegal thing." That conclusion was pretty likely, but it's utterly baffling to someone who thinks about the law like a programmer.

To put it in the Supreme Court's exact words: "Given
Aereo’s overwhelming likeness to the cable companies
targeted by the 1976 amendments, this sole technological
difference between Aereo and traditional cable companies
does not make a critical difference here."

Sorry, no. You don't get to be a college professor teaching woke theory without spending decades polishing and teaching it. As someone who have been well-exposed to US higher education for decades, I can speak from experience. The theories that embody wokeness have been taught for at least the last 30 years.
I mean, you shouldn't, because you shouldn't have anything, anywhere, using password auth.

I do not know what buyers actually expect, but the phrase "FSD Beta" should sound very stupid to anyone with half a brain. It means that it almost drives like a human or better and it needs a bit of polishing. It is not only false, it is irresponsible too in this context.
For each training example gradients are computed, then averaged per batch, then subtracted from model weights in proportion to the learning rate. So each example generates a "full set of gradients" (one incremental change) for all the weights of the model.

The model doesn't save the image itself, but eats the gradients. The question is how we see this process, does it entail a copyright penalty?
Maybe GPT-3 could be built into a writing IDE so it would suggest the next sentence that way a programming IDE suggests the next code completion. I'd worry that that would inhibit me from having an original thought, but on the other hand it might encourage me to reject the suggestion and come up with something more original.
From the abstract: "Most minerals required for the renewable energy transition have not been mined in bulk quantities before. Many of the technology metals already have primary resource mining supply risks.."

Not true. For a PV and storage based economy we need plastics, some lead and barium for perovskites, iron and aluminum for structures and machinery. Some sodium also. Some copper would be helpful for wiring. Storage can be iron-based, sodium-based, aluminum based or lithium based, as at present.

Apart from perhaps barium (for which there are many substitutes, some possibly better), none of these are rare or difficult to mine, and all are mined in large quantities.

The materials we need most of are already being mined in quantities greater than a PV-based society needs.

This paper suffers from the same problem that nearly everyone writing about this has: they assume the current situation is fixed, and we can't do anything different. Fossil fuel lobbyists have use this to argue that renewables are too expensive the whole way down their price curve. INET Oxford published a working paper with charts that nicely illustrate this "we're stopped!" fixation.[1]

The real problems we face are all political.

The physico-chemical realities are that we are living on top of a deep pile of substitution turtles, and the "status quo" is about trends, not levels.

Looking for feedback on my new Saas
Hi everyone,

My brother is in a job applying game. Upon each new job that he apply, he would need to read the job description and create a cover letter to hopefully increase his chance for a interview.

I thought that I can built a software to help him. Turned out my university friends were facing the same problem. I spent the weekend prototyped a tool to generate cover letters from job descriptions and title using GPT-3. I would really appreciate any feedback

These problems of scale aren't unique to recent leaps in technology, or even to automation or technology at all. Government intelligent agencies can, given certain goals and management, do a great deal of harmful and disturbing things without using any secret or advanced technology. A team of 1,000 people with, say, basic PC office equipment from the early 2000s, could do a great deal if they were competently trained and managed and told to, say, investigate and attempt to undermine some group that the agency doesn't like for whatever reason. In my opinion the technology has little to do with the problem, even though the potential for harm is unique to the scale of resources dedicated to it, and even though they would be a lot less effectively if they didn't have that technology (i.e. imagine if they no longer had access to personal computers at the office).

The short answer is no. In a negative real interest rate environment, there is by nature no safe way to keep up with inflation. You will have to reach out into the risk spectrum to try to beat the risk free rate and there is no one "safe" answer on how to approach that. If you don't have any in depth opinions on that, you are probably best keeping your money in a tradition 60/40 portfolio, maybe with a commodities addition if you feel that provides extra diversification against inflation (I think it does)

As someone else mentioned. Owning as much as possible regarding your day to day necessities is another way to approach this. If you own your own land, house, and vehicle and grow a substantial portion of your own food, your are much more detached from price changes than the average person.
I would pay money for a MacOS native rainbow cursor.
In the mid to late 90s many retailers online operated like mail-order catalogs with catalogs delivered via http. Many of them were mail-order businesses first, and so they accepted payments for online purchases the same way they did for their majority of their customers.

This was also normal for eBay payments at the time.

There were, of course, a few that did accept credit cards, but many people were weary about using those features because very little of the web used HTTPS at the time. Even Amazon accepted money orders (and personal checks!) for this reason.
I only do as much 'ops' work as required by the idiots in charge.

Hmm. This has some interesting bits even if it's ultimately a joke. I'm feeling some "alternate universe lua" vibes with ideas like using switch cases for everything.

Yes, usually, but it depends on the country. On top of normal travel visa you also need to make sure your boat is documented from the country of origin and often are required to pay some form of tenporary import fee for the vessel as well. Different places have different rules, some (such as French Polynesia) let you extend your visa up to a year or more if you visit by boat but then you will need to sail elsewhere before you are able to come back.

I suppose you don’t have to declare that you are in a country you visit by boat, but the consequences of not doing so could be extreme if you are unlucky and caught by the local authorities
“New technology!” has become an existential business threat to my team.

That's a very unfair strawman.

The linked article is about an epidemiological measurement often used to flag health risks. And it's pointing out that the real causality is likely due to other factors. I'm pointing out that those other factors are hopelessly conflated with the first anyway, so we might as well keep measuring BMI and treating it as a risk factor.

Are there other things we should measure? Of course there are. Propose a test and let's look at the tradeoffs. I'm just saying let's not stop treating BMI as informative, because it still is.
What if the fraudulent account is emptied? Then it seems there's no money to reverse.
This is not necessarily a contradiction. The vast majority of people support “doing something to save the planet,” and a vast majority also support not being personally affected by that something. It leads to cognitive dissonance which shows up in surveys like these.

Oyster Point in South SF has signs posted around: "Warning: if you buy a boat, the slip does not transfer. There is a 2-3 year waiting list for liveaboard slips".

Of course you could just drop anchor somewhere and use a tender to get to shore and back, there are currently at least two grungy little boats doing that at Oyster Point. No idea if it's actually legal but they've been doing it for at least a year... like many things around here, the answer may be "you can get way with it as long as you look sufficiently homeless"

Do you think the rate of people identifying as gay has increased or decreased along with the general public's acceptance of it?
Which seems completely fine. If the person is being investigated and they are continuing to commit abuses, the police will immediately arrest them and have evidence to bear increasing the odds that society locks the person up prompty. If the suspect is in custody, what does the status of their account matter? The point is that the account ultimately gets closed and the data purged if the suspect is found guilty, so what benefit is there to anybody in being delete-happy?
Oh no, that's too bad. Even the status page shows everything is functional! Something's wrong. But the downdetector shows a lot of error reports.
> I don't think there are any sensible "defaults" for human cultures

There are loads of sensible "defaults" for human cultures. Aversion and disgust at the practices of unfamiliar out-groups is one - keeps us from getting their diseases. Practices assuring paternity are another - males that are indifferent to who's children they raise aren't very well selected for. Risk aversion in, and preference for protection of, child-bearing females by the group is a third - harm to these females disproportionately affects the ability of the group to reproduce and pass its genes. There are many, many others, and we have many of them in common with our animal relatives.
I don’t think people understand how bad the charter is for SLS. Obama tried to cancel the program (called Orion then) and Congress brought this back.

The rocket you see standing on the launchpad has 4 used space shuttle engines strapped to the bottom of it because Congress mandated they have to use existing components.

Imagine optimizing the design of a rocket for a congressional mandate like this—how does that provide a bed for the next generation of engineers?

So you could get a pawn promotion using a queen in three moves (assuming there's an empty space on the rear rank and an open path to reach it!), instead of two. (One to combine the queen and pawn, one to move both pieces to the penultimate rank, and one pawn move to achieve the promotion.)
Proto-writing in Sumer predates proto-hieroglyphs in Egypt. It is thought that writing in Egypt was inspired by the ‘idea’ of written communication in Sumer
Given the down votes I guess I've got misunderstood.

I didn't made any argument up to now. I've asked for the moral of that blog post in the light of the fact that there is also quite some censorship elsewhere in the world.

Sure, Chinese censorship is bad (and the examples given are partly laughable in my opinion). But censorship is bad in general. This applies the same to for example the censorship we have in the EU. (And no, it's not "only some Nazi things").

Also it's a notable fact that the "justifications" given for our censorship are the exact same as the reasons given in, say, China (or likely elsewhere).

The concrete censored content may differ, but behind that is the exact same line of reasoning: That there is "inappropriate" content the people need to be shielded from.

That motivation is the part that is questionable at least. (Now I've made an argument).

Actually this reveals a lot in which way governments think about the population, no matter the country.

Still there seems to be a lot of black and white thinking in the line of "But we are the good ones, we have reasons, but just look what the bad ones do". I refuse to take part in this narrative. The world isn't as simple as that.
In the UK they also search for “terrorism related content” and other types of criminal media. While this isn’t required in the US (and neither is CSAM scanning) part of the impetus for building these systems is to satisfy non-US governments that don’t have the same constitutional protections that the US does. US law enforcement officials routinely join with their non-US counterparts in urging/pressuring US firms to implement these systems, knowing that once they’re built (non-voluntarily) for non-US compliance they will likely be turned on (“voluntarily”) for US customers as well.

See e.g. this open letter to Facebook authored by US AG Barr and counterparts from the UK and Australia. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-barr-signs-l...
There are a bunch of block-tools which are of the kind "block everyone that liked this tweet", "block everyone that follows this person" etc. Casting that wide of a net probably also carries some "false negatives" (which could explain the "I'm blocked but never interacted with the person).
I once worked for a guy who couldn't understand how anyone could possibly "write to think". He'd had a career as a high-level consultant who thought in big-picture/hand-wavy terms and never had to worry about implementation.

It was not a fun time.
I can't even begin to think how to get there, at least using CloudFormation.
>That only makes sense if you think that an unmoderated Twitter can't also be used to oppress and propagandize

So let me get this straight. The only way that the statement "perfect knowledge and perfect filtering are necessary for Twitter to avoid being used to oppress and propagandize" can be true is if "zero filtering would prevent Twitter being used to oppress and propagandize". If you could, please explain how that makes sense.

>There is a theme here of you liking hard categories and arbitrary cutoffs. It suggests to me a rigidity of thought.

OK.

>I don't want to live in a world where ISIS propaganda is radicalizing millions of people because of free speech purism being applied to a social media company.

I think if Western culture offers such a weak argument that it can't compete with such a backwards ideology in a free marketplace of ideas, that it deserves to be trampled by it and forgotten. The worst thing that could be done for ISIS is to give them a megaphone that's as loud as everyone else's.
Im not here to defend economists, but the historian argument is that because they can’t verify if their arguments holds water robustly they instead don’t verify at all. If everything is so subjective as to be unverifiable then why should we care about history at all? I think in reality history is much more tied to present and many claims can be verified to some degree (of not absolute) certainty.
Similar to electricity in the 1700's, is AI in its 'parlor trick' phase? Really feels like we're close to the edge with AI where it might start to snowball hard.
Is it also affirming a stereotype that Indians are incredibly rich? Because that's how Raj is portrayed and the show mocks his wealth on more than one occasion.
