People will just get around it? Not so fast. Let's compare this to large-scale pot growing inside your house. You think you're safe from helicopters and drones?

All those grow lights use a lot of power. That is detectable, and I'm certain that a surveillance society like China would have a much easier time detecting it than we will.

All those plants use water. Also easily detectable.

There will be more heat created by all those plants. Easy to see with a drone.

Merely buying all the supplies exposes you to police suspicion.

Do people still do it? Yes, but they're now the mouse in a cat-and-mouse game.

Operation London Bridge: How the Queen's funeral will work
Libel isn't a crime. Nobody is going to go after the students, because a defamation case has to establish damages, and no one student will have done any significant damage to the Gibson family. It was straightforward to demonstrate that Oberlin had.
Yep. The military will do all kinds of misdirections and even research just to confuse or make enemies spend money on useless research.
Those allegories are used as a tool to make you aware of individual moral issues surrounding how tyranny is created by the individual. Life is not all about political distinctions. In fact, political distinctions (I.E Communism), can blind an individual from many realities.

Of course the military is concerned.

UFO is commonly interpreted as alien spaceship but it really only means unidentified--and that could be a recon drone from China or the like.
Those three are lost and never found. There are more that have been found but not recovered, including two in the USS Scorpion wreck.

> Also, we can use our strength to build solidarity for the workers who aren't tech.

So now you’re describing a political movement/organization. This is like having commissars (or today a DEI Officer) present. I’m not concerned with that and am strictly concerned with access to the outputs and control of the means of production for myself.

I can vote to support codified workers rights, higher wages, etc. but I’m not interested in bringing other peoples political beliefs into our shared office space and culture. That crosses boundaries. Activism in the workplace needs to be eliminated as it’s cancer.
A Remembrance of Peter Eckersley
Not just product catalogs but sites like HN. “Page 2” on this site changes constantly.

… and honestly what does “page 2” even mean on a site like this? It’s almost a completely arbitrary distinction because the amount of items on each page is just a magic number. And your “page 2” is nothing more than snapshot in time… sharing a URL for “page 2” to somebody else is pointless because they won’t see the same content you did. Bookmarking “page 2” is pointless since it will change almost every load. Having a search engine index “page two” is pointless because “page two” won’t even say the same stuff by the time it gets exposed in the search page (you see this sometimes with SEO results that link to a “stories” page). In fact you might as well forbid search engines from indexing anything after “page 1”

And once you start thinking about it you might just say “fuck it… everything is the same ‘page’”. Instead of a “page” you have a viewport into a infinite, constantly changing pane of content. But since it is impractical to load an infinite list of items at once, you’ve got to load chunks of it on demand. And suddenly you’ve invented infinite scroll.

This feels like a case where it'd be good if Apple had two different messages, one for SMS filters which have a ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL configured (which should get the scary message you saw) and one for those that don't (which are sandboxed to be purely device-local).

That said, Apple doesn't really handle the case of permissions changing with an app update very well, so launching your app purely device-local then updating to add something server-side a year later would probably let you get around that.

This app seems to not have the key that'd indicate it's capable of sending anything to a server: https://github.com/afterxleep/Bouncer/blob/master/Bouncer/In... (though, you know, that assumes that the build on the App Store is directly from the source we can see...)
Definitely true. I'm with a bank that feels like I might be their poorest client. They do have a nice app, but the real benefit to working with them is that I have a banker on standby that I can call or email for anything.

If you don't know what Oberlin is, you can just ask, rather than stand here in puzzlement about why an elite private college is regarded as prestigious.
The answer really depends on whether you can look over the uncanny hollowness of affect that all AI art seems to induce. Technically I can believe all the image and motion parts will fall into place in a few years. Im becoming increasingly unconvinced by ML output to conjure satisfyingly rich meaningful experiences in the audience. That may be due partly to an emotional detachment caused by the observer knowing that the output was created by automation. The end effect is the same. The (good) artists I know are becoming less threatened by ML replacing them and more curious about how it might help them create references.

Obviously itll be amazing for creating daytime TV and general YouTube filler.

I've been using various CAD programs, and IMO, FreeCAD UI/UX is quite ok. If you are Inventor or Solidworks user and try to switch to SolidEdge for example, it won't be easy. Not to mention some others like VariCAD (~30 years old professional MCAD)

There are many issues with FreeCAD being OSS alternative to professional MCAD software, but UI/UX is not one of them

But in this case, the restaurant had previously told me that a bathing suit is OK, and I've been showing up in a bathing suit for years.

They don't owe it to me to accommodate me, but they have just proved themselves unreliable, and I won't be going to that restaurant again, since they ruined my plans for the night.
Sure but on a dynamic site, there is absolutely no guarantee that what’s on “page 2” for her is what you saw when you copied the link. It’s dynamic, after all.
It's not solving a technical problem. It's trying to avoid points where the user has to make an active decision to continue looking at whatever is being served and thus have a chance to decide to leave.
It's a boilerplate warning that applies to the maximum possible amount of data-collection that could be happening. The app says it doesn't collect anything, and its source on GitHub supports that claim... but a SMS app theoretically could and so Apple warns you of the worst case.

This is why I tell my friend who is passionate about extraterrestrials visiting Earth that I believe in UFOs but not flying saucers or alien spacecraft. Hard to argue with true-believers though.

"OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things." – Alan Kay

Simula was the first language to have objects but Alan Kay's Smalltalk was what really caused it to take off and is what most OOP languages today were derived from. Today he feels he mis-named it and that he should have called it Message-Based Programming, which is what he feels should be the primary focus of languages with objects.

Most OOP languages today are not message-based and do not offer the full benefits of message-based programming. A few that do are Self, Ruby, and Erlang.

The reason OOP seems like a buzzword with no clear meaning is because there are so many languages that implement OOP only partially and not always the same parts.

> I also like citing politicians because, in discussing UAP, they have little to gain (they’re already famous, UAP are not a wedge issue) and much to lose (looking foolish). And they have access to far more information than the general public, especially former presidents and members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

And at that point, I realized I had forgotten my waders, so I had to stop reading.
It's not a duopoly.

Around 2007-2008, Sabre went on an acquisition spree and bought the major clients of Amadeus around the world. Then proceeded to force them to use Sabre instead (quite inferior results and heavily biased towards AA and other related companies). And finally when the 2008 crash happened, did massive restructuring and layoffs on such companies. Even for profitable ones. Some were sold afterwards for pennies on the dollar. The hit and run on Amadeus worked.

Got to love central bank backed corporations. (0% interest loans of unlimited amounts)

Sabre is an invincible Goliath. Amadeus is a David just trying to survive.

If you have an interest in increasing military spending, a little UFO fear mongering probably won’t hurt.
It's a problem with web technologies in general. A real application framework would have hooks for knowing where the viewport is.

The web was designed from the ground up to display documents, so we would have to resort to URL hacks.
That sounds like two victories for the black project. 1) our last project was successful in evading existing sensor technologies, 2) our next project will address the gaps in our sensor capabilities.

My mistake, make that p-doped. Anyway, from the pure "electrons and holes" view the diode is actually electrons(metal), electrons (silicon), holes(silicon), electrons(metal).

So electrons-holes-electrons. No explanation for the asymmetric behaviour.
I'm able to trivially sustain 83% (250W / 300W) of the TDP of an Ampere A40 training a model the size of resnet50 with a basic pytorch training loop.

Remember the lower-TDP PCIe H100 has 20% slower compute and 33% slower memory than the SXM model, suggesting the increased power delivery from the PCIe (350W) to SXM (700W) model is a major factor in the performance even for H100 vs H100.

I don't think it's misleading to say that power is extremely likely to be a factor in the demonstrated performance increase from A100 to H100 for non-transformer workloads until proven otherwise. I don't think anyone here has a DGX H100 in hand yet to test this.

Edit: wait, also I looked closer at the numbers - in MLPerf 2.1, NVIDIA only submitted results for 1x H100. There's no 1x A100 result submitted for resnet50, just an 8x A100 number, which NVIDIA seems to have divided by 8 to get a "per accelerator" number to compare to their 1x H100. That doesn't feel like a clean comparison, as you can have performance loss when scaling. I'd rather see 1v1 or 8v8.
Given they qualify “full speed” I’m pretty sure it is.
The idea of the US government having that level of technology and keeping it totally hidden doesn’t jive with all the missteps and human level errors we have seen so many politicians and military officials make.

Looking at something like MK Ultra it is just a bunch of dudes doing shit by intuition and making massively dumb misstep’s. Unless things like that are just false flags to distract us from some hyper advanced and nefarious shadow govt we don’t know about.

How to measure anything. I think it's targeted for actuaries/insurance, though I'm not in that field. But it did change my idea of what can be analyzed and measured. The beginning is repetitive. Some of it is very unorthodox. But it was very useful in detailing how to evaluate risk.

How to talk to little kids so little kids will listen. I don't have kids and read it on a whim. I've found it's excellent for communicating with people in general during conflict (especially patients). The author is a counsellor and describes real counselling sessions with parents who want better relationships with their children. I enjoyed how the author uses the same techniques on the adults and obtains the same manner of response as when used on the kids.

Understanding Complexity is not a book but a part of the Great Courses. It's hard to say what it directly changed but it did affect how I view everyday life, from traffic to physiology.

Hui's Approach to Internal Medicine was very helpful for transitioning from knowing about medical facts to practical medical knowledge useful to everyday care. It's focus is on 'approach' rather than facts. It has a practical approach to medical issues. First distinguishing by ones in the same category of pathophysiology then practical approach to distinguishing issues within the category. It's a dense book but an excellent read and a good reference.
You're correct, that's likely a mistake. They should have said sixty.

FTA: “This pro-oriented camera looks just like the recent X-H2S it’s based on, matching it with the same processor, in-body image stabilization system, dual card slots, electronic viewfinder, and more. It’s nearly the same camera with a different sensor for those who value megapixels most”

So, why does it have the same processor? Is this camera fast enough for the kind of photos you’d make with that sensor? Is the market for these things not large enough for them to design the larger body that would be needed to house the larger battery needed to power that? Or does such a processor not exist, and is the market too small to create it? Or something else?

If the US government came out with legislation strongly in support of bitcoin, they trade for the upside just as easily.

And there's much more money to be made on the upside than the downside. And it's probably much safer to make the upside bet, because a) the PoS market is very dilute and contested, so there's no clear winner to bet on unlike the PoW market and b) you can ban bitcoin or PoW in the US, but the US can't control how other parts of the world treat it, which means you don't know exactly how the globally driven price of bitcoin is going to go based on the actions of the US alone. Down for sure, but not all the way to zero.

Hell, we can see what happened when China banned PoW mining. Price went down temporarily, and then it roared back up.
As a former fractional CFO at a 12 person company I saved many multiples of what I cost despite the company having a great accountant whom the CEO spent a lot of time with.

I am not a rich person, although I'm comfortable, but several of my banks are terrible at IT. Like "We are upgrading our web site so it won't be available until Tuesday" level bad at IT.

Note that wasn't just "Some services won't be available", the whole web site was out of action for most of a day. It's disappointing but understandable if I can't send a random stranger 2500 ¥ at 2am because the bank are upgrading something. But it's straight up crazy that I can't even see my 2018 bank statement PDF because they're upgrading, it's the sort of feature a PHP Blog site can make work.

Back when I developed Android apps I never bothered to watch IO and barely kept up with the latest SDKs. There was no point because it takes years for new versions of Android to go live on enough devices to make the effort worthwhile. By the time half of users are on the latest version a whole new version has been released.

I mean just look at this: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/android . No recent version ever even hit 50%.

Maybe it would have been different if I was part of a large team with more time to spend on somewhat frivolous efforts.

The Selfish Gene should be read by everyone who studies biology or life science. Modern biological sciences are underlied by an understanding of evolution an genetics. I had heard variants of the phrase "change in allele frequency in a population over time," as a description of evolution many times starting in high school. But it wasn't until I read The Selfish Gene in college that I really understood what this meant and how it should shape our view of biology.
Yeah, that's fine I think. I mean the problem of the pagination "crashing" due to removed posts.

Please define hate speech.

Generalizing everyone that disagrees with you as "those types" and then calling me pathetic to group me in with them is exactly the problem is was alluding to.
As someone working in the field, I'm surprised at all the comments here saying that it's not too far off. I disagree.

It really comes down to what your tolerance for error is. If you want something that kind of looks like a movie on the surface, but comes with a bunch of of nonsensical plot points and/or image artifacts then yes, I don't think we're too far off, maybe a few years or so. But you'll easily be able to tell that it's not made by humans. I'm taking about long-form movies here, not short video clips, which IMO aren't too far off and are probably possible roughly with what we have today.

But for something that's truly indistinguishable from a human-made long-form movie, I don't think we can get there by improving the current technology, not even in 1-2 decades. Yes, DALL-E and GPT are impressive, but once you go past cherry-picked examples to something that requires long-term cohesion and reasoning it falls apart rather quickly because you're completely out-of-sample. You're not going to get this kind of model produce long-form content without any kind of incohesion.
