My bad, I assumed that some amount of thought went into your response - I was clearly wrong, apologies.

Under that assumption I (again, the whole "you thought about your reaction" thing was a bad assumption on my part, sorry) related my own past thinking and how it changed. There was no moral superiority there, just my story about how my thinking changed and what I have observed. You seem to be reading a lot more into it than I wrote.
It's a good analogy. Journos feel similar to Google bots..finding and adding pages to the index. Basically surfacing new info.

One thing tho, even with good data labeling Learning can take its own sweet time. It depends how fast your machine is, and Societies processing speeds are very slow. Good journalism often feels quite useless thanks to that limitation.
Break up their monopolies like the US did to Standard Oil. The fact that 80% of the countries GDP is chaebols is even more of a reason to do so.
that is crazy. Perhaps your family name is common in that region?
I think it's going to be expensive to run and require an account with AdeptAI. Most usage will be to automate office work, RPA style. They could also detect malicious usage as the model sees the pages and takes actions in those pages.
Reem Kufi designer here, that is the original form of ع in Arabic and the only form used in manuscript Kufi. Kufi-inspired typefaces often use the more familiar form from later calligraphic styles. Reem Kufi has an alternate form as well, but it is not the default.
> largest expense billionaires have is investment in other people and companies

that's not an expense, but an investment, on which they (usually) get a return, increasing their net worth

> if billionaires squandered their wealth on short term self indulgence that would be one thing, but they don't

they do, just not enough to make a dent in their wealth because once it's grown so large, it's hard to spend it faster than its growth. If you have $1B growing at a modest 6% / year, that's $60M / year.

> They typically give it all away.

they don't (unless by "all" you mean "a small percentage"). Even the few who have pledged to give 50% away in their lifetime have not (since their fortune has continued to grow). There are exceptions of course (and MacKenzie Scott will probably be one of them).
> The self-cleaning ice cream machine was requested by McD to solve the problem of contamination in their ice cream machines

Doesn't Starbucks have a self-cleaning coffee machine (Clover machine) that is fairly reliable? (Also presumably needs to flush out residue between cups, etc..) Though I imagine coffee/hot water are better at self-disinfecting.

There are also all of those automated/unattended frozen yogurt stands, which seem fairly reliable, though I don't know how or how often (if ever?) the machines are cleaned/disinfected.

In any case, it seems like there is an opportunity here for technological improvement.
As the article says, some smaller outfits still use card stripe data.

The impetus to get retailers to start using the chip was "Liability shift". The payment networks gradually changed the rules (I think in the US pay-at-pump gasoline purchases were last to get this, while big retail stores were earlier) so that the liability if a transaction is latterly discovered to be fraudulent is with the retailer who accepted the dodgy transaction, not the payment network if the retailer didn't use the chip.

But I imagine if you're a little store in the country, maybe you do six card transactions per day, almost all of them with customers you know personally who just find the card more convenient, liability shift isn't a huge worry for you, while the cost of a new payment terminal is a significant issue.

The actual payment infrastructure doesn't care about any of this. Those old impression machines? Mag stripe? Put the card in manually? Tap your iPhone? In all cases the actual transaction which moves money, "Settlement", just needs the account number to take money from and amount to transfer. These different methods have different "Authorization" behaviour but Authorization is about mitigating risk for the retailer, and the bank, and only very tangentially intended to have any benefit for you to customer, it doesn't move money, and it isn't mandatory.

I'm not sure you are right here. The sensor size (and the lens speed) has been one of the key things Apple marketing has been leaning towards in the last few generations. Tech reviewers tend to repeat it back to their audience, which eventually lead to general consensus of Apple's camera system being superior.
If there is an unfairness in obtaining opportunity, either lack of education opportunity or whatever, that seems like the right thing to address. Not at the end of the process and then trying to tilt things.

> It sounds like Danes over 50 can get a free vaccine, and those under are prohibited from getting one. Why can't we have a middle ground where young people can get a vaccine if they really want to (and e.g. pay for it themselves)? This mirrors the common thread in Covid policy where everything is either forbidden or compulsory.

Yeah. It's insane if they prohibit under-50s from getting the vaccine. There are more reasons to get vaccinated than just self-protection: pretty much the only reason I get boosted is to lower my risk of infection to prevent passing it to an immunocompromised parent.
This is why I really like the added security of the new Apple magnetic wallet I got. The wallet holds your cards and attaches to the back of the phone using magnets. While the inside of the wallet is magnetically shielded, I’ve found it’s nearly impossible when actually handling the magnetic wallet not to accidentally pass the card past the outside of the magnetic wallet. I have found that my card no longer works in pure magstripe readers such as parking meters and other older devices. Having ruined my magnetic stripe, Apple has protected me from mag stripe attacks. An idea so bold, no one but Apple could have thought of the magnetic card wallet.
I always use the Chase Debit cards stored in my Apple Wallet to access Chase ATMs. Works great. You can use the Apple Wallet cards to unlock the ATM vestibule doors after hours too.
But I'm not sure you're right about developers wanting to just develop a few luxury condos and artificially restrict the number of units they build.

I shouldn't have implied there necessarily was anything artificial or conspiratorial involved. I mean, some times there can be but it's quite possible that building a few high priced luxury units is the most profitable decision for an individual builder. Luxury condos cost a lot to build and can be sold for a high markup over costs. A many-unit building for average people is not going to have the same markup so even if you build more units, your total profit can be less.

Per the article, the per-unit costs of all the planning / permitting / construction / land / special interest earmarks make the per-door cost to be the $1 million quoted.

So you're saying regulations push builders to only build luxury housing - which is part of my point. I mean, lots of producers in lots of industries cry about regulations that increase their markup, an increase they pass to the consumer. They cry all the way to the bank about that.
I have iPhone 11 and I still don't think it is worth upgrading to 14 or 14Pro yet. I consider myself tech savvy person but I don't see a point to buy a new phone if my current phone takes good enough pics for myself and my family and friends to enjoy. Also if the speed of browsing web and opening and using apps is still good enough then what's the point of buying a new phone and polluting environment? As I see it, the latest iPhones are capable of at least 5 years of use and only may need to do is replace the battery once in that life span and I am happy with this approach.
Or perhaps that’s just what Big Shave wants you to think!
Audiophiles usually recommend using some better algorithms such as SSRC resampler (foobar2000 have it as plugin handily) than whatever FFMPEG provides.

I can't say I personally can tell the difference, but based on my (limited) knowledge of DSP, artifact-free resampling definitely isn't a straightforward thing.
It really isn't. Math proofs need to be not only finite but small enough to fit in the universe to be discovered. This strictly finite nonsense is a left over from a time when we could only do symbol manipulation with a human brain.
The article is very explicitly aimed at photographers, it's on a photographer's website, it's a review about only the camera, the conclusion is titled "buying advice for photographers", etc.

If he was to explain what determines image quality, why not also demand that he explains aperture, focal length, etc.? It's just not aimed at that public.
I’d like to write an app for myself, side load it, and Apple not have to give me special permission to do what I want. Right now, I have to have a “shortcut” start my own app (for simming) to change some device settings, then remember to change them back after the session. But if Apple would allow you to do whatever you want without their permission (on your own device), my life would be a bit simpler.

This isn't a problem though, countries issue their own currencies all the time. The problem is when you need to run a trade deficit, you need to buy more stuff than you sell internationally. It drives down the value of your currency. But crypto doesn't solve that. And borrowing against the national debt to buy risky crypto assets (which is what El Salvador did) makes that problem worse, not better. They will default on this debt.

I like to believe the websites I have been responsible for are at least somewhat green by default. I am a zealot when it comes to vanilla web dev.

The most recent website I've worked on is delivered with a single HTTP request. No more than 50kb. A websocket is used for streaming in additional content based on user activity. I cannot imagine a more efficient way to use the available network resources. server-side blazor is a good example of something you could use to achieve a similar outcome.

The most heinous crime I see in terms of web pollution has to be the way certain orgs insist on shipping 10+meg leviathans that are used for little more than reading news articles and sharing memes.
Well, ask yourself which org needs donations more urgently. (Last I looked the Internet Archive were being sued for lending scans of books – books they had physically bought – to one user at a time online.)
data-wise this could be possible. I know at least in Germany, there is also data in OSM about each line and which tracks they are using.
It must be in my area, and it seems to be legal at the federal level in the USA.

"There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise."

https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

It may be illegal to refuse cash as payment for an existing debt but businesses are free to choose how (and with whom) they conduct business, including which forms of payment they accept.
Good to know that it works with their own cards! I don't actually have a Chase debit card; I was hoping that my virtual debit card would work with their machines :-)

(The bank I use does actually use JPMC as their customer bank, so I was hoping that Chase ATMs would see my card as a "whitelabeled" Chase card. But no such luck.)
A Chat about Linus' (of Linus Tech Tips) ZFS Data Recovery
At historical rates of power-efficiency scaling (which haven't changed much in the past 10 years either) ... by 2040 we'll have the currently estimated computational power of a human brain (~1 exaflop) running on a 20Watt processor, which is about as much as an iPhone CPU uses.

It's not guaranteed that some AI supercomputer will be using megawatts of electricity and couldn't siphon what it needs from small parasitic loads.

I'm glad that he was able to parlay a childhood hobby into gainful employment.

I had a lot of childhood hobbies that didn't pan out so well. For example, I used to memorize scientific names of insects and other creepy-crawlies. Mostly I did this because I wanted to learn more Latin and they weren't teaching it in Catholic school. Also my father, a geologist, worked with a full-time entomologist in his office.

My parents allowed me more or less free hand in self-determination of hobbies and recreational activities, and this was detrimental to my growth and work ethic. If you're a parent, make sure that your children's activities are focused and directed to some meaningful end. Also ensure that they are properly motivated, encouraged, and supported in constructive things. This is the best way to form children who are good workers with interesting careers.

Race is a social construct that only has any relevance in it's historical context. If somebody is not aware of the relevant context as it relates to the US (they specifically said they were not from the US) then of course it would be very difficult to understand the point of the policies.

Most people are willfully ignorant and like to "play dumb" while making bad faith arguments about issues like this. I was merely trying to inquire if the OC was ignorant and willing to learn or willfully ignorant.

If I make changes to a GPL3 library, but never distribute it, and you come along and leak it, you've distributed my changes without a license. Those changes are toxic, and the result cannot be distributed by anyone. It's not really any different than the usual dance one has to perform to combine two components with incompatible licenses: you can mix the ingredients yourself, you can tell people how to mix the ingredients themselves, but you can't distribute the cake.

Repeating my general request, someone please do a Speaking for the Dead on COBRA that includes the good, the hopeful, the smart.

Also the bad too. These days it's just a sign a symbol for bad, but in this hyperreality we dont know the referrant, dont know the lessons of the bad either.

But i want to hear the good most of all. And how good was avoided, missed, unfulfilled. Because it I think like so much else might possibly have gone great, if things & times & adoption had been only slightly barely different. It was just too soon for open source, is a huge possibility in my mind.

Also comparison versus DCOM/OLE would be informative, for historical context.

Developer here. The most obvious thing is the attention to aesthetics and user experience. The entire point of Notes was to create an application that invites people to write.

This is why:

- As you type, unnecessary widgets disappear so you can focus on your text.

- The app doesn't allow you to customize much; there is a pre-defined selection of fonts.

- But at the same time, Notes is still powerful enough. The website demonstrate most of the features well: https://www.get-notes.com

I think this type of opinionated design makes people more focused.

"The more things you can do instead of writing, the more tempted you will be to do those things instead of putting words on the page."

Utopia? Utopia for who? The richest? No thanks - we're already too close to that, and we don't like some of the results.

This is fantastic! I know there's another platform https://openart.ai that is a search engine for dalle2 prompts. Could be a good complimentary to this.
I have and continue to spend obscene amounts of time orchestrating the entire systems architecture from zero to full tilt in my language of interest. I start with base functionality applied examples needed throughout the systems life cycle; documentation, templates, clis, daemons, logging, cryption, networking, queuing, concurrency, databases and more as these are the teaching tools about the platform of "what, why, how". Such a simple statement does not accurately represent the details or the value however the experience of having founded and exited several technology companies using this model has proven the approach. With each passing new iteration the system's simplicity of understanding has increased while also adding value in many areas of support, new hires, and management. If it ain't broke don't fix it so after five previous complete refactors under multiple companies this sixth iteration is first for enjoyment in problem solving and then to apply this work to yet another startup. Nothing is more important than the foundation!

This is why the Rule Against Perpetuities[1] exists which limits the existence of a trust to a life in being plus 21 years. There are various flavors of the rule with plenty of exceptions and longer waiting periods after the last existing life-in-being depending on the jurisdiction. I believe charitable trusts are usually exempt. Matt Levine has written about the “SPY kids”[2] used when the ETF was formed.

No, that's not my stance. Pirated software is software that was obtained through fraudulent means. YouTube is not streaming bits to me because I tricked it to. It's doing so willingly.

The analogy I would make is that, once I've obtained a piece of software, there is no ethical issue with me deciding to modify my copy of it, perhaps to remove assets I don't want included.

So what is your argument that adblocking is a form of theft?

Lastly but most importantly, covering the PIN pad with your hand defeats one key component of most skimmer scams: The spy camera that thieves typically hide somewhere on or near the compromised ATM to capture customers entering their PINs.
Peaceful cooperation amongst countries that are very important to world security. There was a peaceful cooperation amongst all major world powers, which is a drastic turning point from the prior few hundred years that bred indefinite wars amongst major world powers. Cambodia, and most other countries that have seen wars since the end of WW2, don't really matter on the world scale. Doesn't make the negative impacts on them any less real, but in general sweeping statements, the world did see peaceful cooperation.
> I wouldn't say that is fair in that very few people can use that mode

Very few people are being targeted by nation-states. But more importantly, these are not a random set of people. These are head of states and companies, free speech activists and journalists, and people with access to top secret information. I suspect that a large set of them are aware that they are potential targets.
