This is relevant to today's events because Magnus Carlsen just withdrew from a tournament[1] after yesterday's loss to a significantly lower rated opponent who had previously been suspended for cheating on chess.com. The tournament organizers have also implemented additional anti-cheating protocols starting today.

Whatever comes out of these accusations, the chess world will sure enjoy its new infusion of drama.

1st part. YES. 2nd part. NO. If your end goal needs to meet a certain mark then you need to be measuring as you go. If you are headed down the wrong path, by not paying attention to perf you'll end up bogged down rewriting systems that 'work' but they were never going to be fast enough. I've been through this headache too many times now to not get a little irritated when projects don't keep perf and memory usage on the same importance as 'working'. This often manifest by developing on much more powerful hardware than will be shipped on...

All you need is the measure part. Then you won't do the evil thing of optimizing something that makes it more brittle and hard to maintain etc.
Good luck with that - it often quickly devolves into politicians using subsidies to curry votes and pointing fingers at the opposition for the inevitable brownouts and grid collapses.

At least with a market folks will go bankrupt for suitably bad decisions, with gov’t nationalization, ‘the people’ end up getting both ends.

Lossy codecs try to find an approximate signal that sounds as close as possible, but is easier to compress. They drop parts of the signal entirely, or reduce their resolution, based on models of human hearing to identify the parts that are least likely to be noticeable if they are missing. E.g. not all frequencies can be heard equally well, so quality is dropped on the ones that are heard less clearly anyways. And loud signals on one frequency can make signals on another frequency or following quickly after harder to perceive.

Most such audio codecs are based to some degree on variants of fourier transforms, so this modification is done by dropping or reducing resolution of parts of the output.

Well, sure, you get both. But the point is that needing a post-build step just to get that is accidental complexity. I'm by no means a Java fan, but the way JVM gives jars as a compile target and lets you run them with some measure of isolation is an example of how things could be.
AFAIK the courts did not find this. After all, they were not considering the case of someone who shouted ‘fire!’ in a crowded theatre. If someone actually did this and people died as a result (e.g. in a stampede), it seems highly unlikely that a free speech defense could be used.
I think it’s interesting that so many people see the danger in a Twitter “mob” effectively running Kiwifarms off the public, visible internet, without recognising that Kiwifarms themselves were a mob, with the precise goal of running people (including the recently targeted streamer) off the public visible internet too. The tactics were different, but the goal is effectively the same.

The key differences are Kiwifarms is targeting individuals personally. And that they’re doing it kind of randomly, for the lulz. Whereas their main opponents here are targeting a company/community, and acting in self-defence.

> Presumably because they think it's necessary.

For people who have studied the history of how countries and their leadership make decisions, even just superficially (eg, you've followed the news for 20 years), this is actually a very strange presumption.

It is historically just as plausible that it's not thought necessary for society as a whole, but is simply profitable for some special interest, such as (just an example, not an actual suggestion) a large forest land owner.

I thought this was obvious, unless one is very young still or one has never taken any interest in history or current events.
The problem here is that due process is extremely expensive to obtain. Let's say you have reverse engineered something, but the IP holder claims you stole it, so the provider shuts you down, and now you're losing money and you have to file a lawsuit in a possibly-hostile, far flung jurisdiction, and it may take weeks to get injunctive relief (if you get it), and months or years to settle the case, and all of this while having lost your income and having to foot hefty legal bills. Few will bother. The effect is chilling.

Thus, "reasonable belief", while a legal term of art, is pretty meaningless to users.

> It seems like you want Samsung to not have digital rights.

I wrote nothing of the sort. But now that you put me on the spot, I'll tell you what I want: either that users get better access to due process, or that common carriers to have less power over what they carry (not zero power, just less), or both. While it's true that there are expensive, abusive users out there, we need to strike a better balance for all the users who aren't.

Actually we do notice stuff like that. Which is why it is advised that you don't inhale asbestos particles, wear sunscreen, avoid smoking, etc.

My point still stands: it's understandable that heatwaves aren't considered as serious as hurricanes if the only impact of a heatwave you can point to is that lightbulbs theoretically burn out more quickly during a heat wave.
You're joking, but I'm 100% serious.

PAM is crusty and has a bad architecture. The fact that it's written in C, and is linked into another program as a library makes it impossible to fully isolate it from its host application, and exposes it to a myriad possible exploit points.

Even wrapper binaries are not a great idea because of how UNIX works.

fork() + exec() means the executed binary inherits a lot of state from the caller. Open files, signals, environment variables, chroot, mlock, resource limits, seccomp... there's a myriad of mechanisms that an executed binary can be exposed to, and even if it somehow perfectly takes all of them into account and defends itself against any possible malicious manipulation, the next kernel version could add a new one.

That's why I think a sane, modern version of PAM should be a service and only communicate via a UNIX socket. That way you vastly reduce the attack surface, and allow locking up the PAM bits into their own, well defended box.

>I think the file is decoded and then checksum-ed and the checksum is just stored as a FLAC tag.

Sure, it's just metadata. It's just about backwards compatibility.

By the way, the checksum is calculated on the raw data fed into the encoder. It doesn't make sense to decode the data you've just encoded.

And I am totally for these "million other lefty-green things". Solar and wind is comparatively cheap to install and comparatively low effect on nature. The resulting energy is also cheap (if used locally). We have many (poor) villages here in Germany owning their own wind turbines and benefiting from selling this energy, greatly improving the financial situation for the local population. It's like farming but with wind turbines.

In the long run Germany will be better of. We just have to get through this painful transition.

> cigarettes, for whatever reason, seem to be a lot more addictive than other forms of tobacco consumption.

Excellent observation. What is in cigarettes is not really tobacco.[1] Also, cigarettes are intentionally more addictive than natural tobacco, and far more harmful.

According to the US Surgeon General Report Smoking and Health:

No. 1103, p.112
>Death rates for current pipe smokers were little if at all higher than for non-smokers, even with men smoking 10 pipefuls per day and with men who had smoked pipes for more than 30 years.

No. 1103, page 92
>Among the pipe smokers.... The US mortality ratios are 0.8 for non-inhalers and 1.0 for inhalers.

...which means pipe smokers (smoking natural tobacco) who inhale live as long as nonsmokers, and pipe smokers that don’t inhale live longer than non-smokers.

Smoking anything is bad for you, but national brand cigarettes are deadly. There are over 300 added carcinogens in cigarettes. My personal feeling is it is the added carcinogens that is causing cancer, and not tobacco. So it isn't smoking, per se, that is killing people en masse, but smoking cigarettes made by Big Tobacco, which will be any national brand (other than Natural American Spirits, which guarantees the only ingredients are natural tobacco and water.)

Everyone smoked during the Colonial era, including nearly all the Founding Fathers. Native Americans smoked for centuries if not millennia. Ever heard of a Native American with lung cancer? Only after the Chemical Revolution did smokers begin dying en masse annually.

People feel very strongly about this, and usually the information I provide stirs a strong reaction, because everyone knows smoking kills! But the devil is in the details. Carcinogens cause cancer and kills people in droves. Smoking tobacco, actual tobacco, causes emphysema, not cancer.

It would be great to have a consistent measurement system in base-12 on top of base-12 numbers. But without this latter part, you end up with base-12 units computed in base-10 numbers, which creates more mess than having a few extra divisors remove.

And, unfortunately, we're way too committed to base-10 to change it now. So metric it is.

Their software runs a full node and a wallet, so most users are a node by default (if I’m not mistaken) and rewards are double for the first couple years. You can run their software and just about anything, low powered CPU’s, pi’s, NAS, etc. So I don’t doubt their numbers are too far from the truth, esp considering how much China supports them. Nodes have been slowly dropping over time as the crypto boom cycle has died down.

As far as real transactions, they’ve got a way to go. Just releasing NFT support a few months ago.
Well, it only proves Scratch is not good for kids learning math, and the paper has some weak points as pointed out in other posts.

Actually, my first reaction when I heard of Scratch was -- why are these poor kids forced to learn something they will never use in the future of their lives?

The paper got one thing right -- it doesn't make any sense to design visual language deliberately for kids education. It's like saying -- kid, you are so naive so you have to do visual programming, even though it is slow and inefficient. If you are the kid, will you feel good?

If I have to choose a programming language for kids, I will choose LOGO.

Clearly. Though I don't think they have indicated any interest in annexing most of Ukraine.

Rather the original plan seems to have been to install a puppet government in Kiev. And when that failed, they decided to take the easternmost Ukraine + an area around Crimea.

Which makes total sense as their major naval base in the black sea has always been in Sevastopol, Crimea. And they'd want transport to there that doesn't go through a potential Nato country.
You've articulated my exact thought after watching these too! I have no idea, and I'd be curious to find out as well.

One thing I haven't figured out in all the replies defending KF is WHY "making fun of weirdos" requires knowing & posting their address & phone number and keeping tabs on their physical location.

What? Most all FLAC is created (converted) from a WAV source. If your source is MP3, then yes, FLAC is irrelevant... But FLAC is basically a lossless compression format for WAV.

I'm really confused by what you're talking about lol... especially "up"convert...??? WAV is the ultimate lossless audio on PC. It really doesn't get any better than WAV. There is no "up" from WAV. FLAC is a compression format for WAV, that does not lose any data. The output of FLAC will be identical to the WAV file, even though its compressed. MP3 is a compression format for WAV that loses data, and will not be identical to the original WAV file.

Disagree. C could absolutely support SumTypes / TaggedUnions.

Spans/Slices are objectively superior. Null terminated strings aren't the biggest source of pain in the universe, but they're problematic.

I'm not arguing that C _should_ add these things today. I'm saying that C made bad choices 50 years ago and we're paying the price to this day. This isn't pointing fingers. It'd be upsetting if the industry hadn't made progress and didn't learn better ways to do things!
The most important practical advantage -- one reason I like the A4 / A5 family -- is simply that proportions are preserved when you print two pages on one sheet and fold over. Adjacent to that is the advantage that there are a family of sheets to work with in practical sizes -- A5, A6 and A7 are all quite useful -- and they bear a certain logical relationship to one another that is easy to work out, in terms of how many of one size fit on another size.
I always get a slight headache when I think of electricity prices and how one could improve the pricing mechanism. The marginal cost of production mechanism is resonable, it's basically how it works for any other market. Except that all electricity in a grid is basically infinitely fungible with zero transaction cost so all goods cost the same.

But at the same time, it's something fundamentally different about hydro or nuclear compared to solar or wind. It will "always" work (except for maintenance etc).

At least in Sweden it's not that uncommon for it to be dark (cold) and calm winds all over the country at the same time. The EU grid is somewhat connected, but the transfer lines doesn't have infinite capacity.

Wouldn't it kinda make sense to have different markets, or some kind of derivate mechanism, that makes it profitable to either have base load power sources, or seldomly used fossil based power plant "backups"?.

The prompt "A ten year old boy daydreaming" is a bit haunted, as it's not specific enough to generate good results.

But the results from running that does not result in NSFW content, contrary to what you say. Most of these NSFW "blockers" simply act on keywords like "ten year old boy" rather than trying to understand the output.

Here is 9 images of the prompt "A ten year old boy daydreaming" with various settings. None of them are good (bad prompt + no tuning on my side), but none of them are NSFW either: https://imgur.com/a/FcBv05w

> I can totally see where you're coming from, too, but I think it's pretty disingeous to give a bunch of opinions and then slap the word "objectively" on them.

Whether something is entertaining or not is purely subjective. However, speaking in my capacity as someone who has worked in the film industry for the last 30 years, the writing of the first two episodes was objectively "not good". I think Hesh Rabkin put it better than I can, on Season 1, Episode 10 of the Sopranos when he said, "There’s one constant in the music business...A hit is a hit...and this, my friend, is NOT a hit." The same holds for tv shows.

You can download the source and run it locally (or in Google Colab for a few bucks) if that's what you wanted to do. The nsfw filter is one function call you can short-circuit with a 'return False'.

I think the bigger issue is liability for these companies because they have to host the images in order to generate and display them. There's probably an argument that they can do this without liability, but that's an argument for an expensive lawyer to make, which they probably don't want to pay for.
It has practical implications. I have a file cabinet which is made for A4 paper in landscape. Now, I have some official paperwork from another country that has more the form of a spell scroll and the only way to fit that into my cabinet or binder or wherever is to fold it.

Which is something I would like to avoid on things like birth certificates and such.
Neat, but feels like it was trained or prompted for luxury homes. I clicked threw a couple dozen images but everything had that style of multi-million dollar mansion/condo with a pool and only glass for walls. Nothing even remotely suburban or rural. Curious if this is due to the prompts (assuming this is SD sourced) or due to the training of the AI model.
That's not my idea of an ideal world. I think reciprocity has its place and don't wish to inhabit some sort of social kindergarten in which every dispute must be solved through a process of arbitration.
