A country's borders are not only protected by paying taxes that are due. It's illegal in most places, save a regulation in place to protect that case, to work from another country without proper papers, read a visa, permanent residency or citizenship.

Kinda seems like it! I was back there for an industry conference a couple days ago actually and a number of the service staff who were around my age (20s-early 30s) actually asked me about how to immigrate to the US and Canada. Tbf this is anecdotal and I'm sure there are other Brits on this forum who can probably give more information.

IPFS does serve traffic directly, and faster than through Cloudflare; if you run a local node. It accomplishes this by pre-caching content related to the content you access. So it is a bit network heavy. But I've been using it for about a year and the speed just can't be beat.

I would be shocked if they didn’t issue all employees YubiKeys.
An obvious one is that traditional mathematical convention requires single glyph variable names due to the unfortunate decision to save paper by denoting the product by juxtaposition. That’s an admittedly trivial example though, even though the higher order consequences are considerable.

Computing science is when notation came into its own. Younger mathematicians have taken those lessons to heart, but as the old saying goes, progress comes one funeral at a time.

Being forced to mechanically parse and interpret a syntax has a way of really bringing out any ambiguity.
It's not just that. In policy making, being lax about a particular thing for a particular group (in this case, border control) opens up a pandora box of problems by legitimizing that very thing for everyone else.

Neither will do it as the other nation would try to make it a client country, and it would anyhow fall back into an ethnoreligious civil war like back in the 1990s. Also, it's not just Kashmir - it's Kashmir AND Jammu AND Ladakh AND Gilgit AND Baltistan. There are dividing lines across religion (Sunni vs Shia vs Hindu/Sikh), ethnicity (Pahari vs Koshur vs Migrant vs Balti vs Ladakhi), and caste (Dogra vs Gaddi vs Bakkarwal). If I was negotiating, the only solution would be a full normalization of India-Pakistan relations with cross-border travel restarted like back before the 1971 war, and potentially a SAARC based free trade corridor (free transfer of goods and people from Mazar-i-Sharif to Moreh, from Gilgit to Galle, from Chittagong to Colombo, from Kathmandu to Karachi), but that ain't happening in my lifetime.

> So 3/5 correct seems like a non-trivial accomplishment.

It's definitely a non-trivial accomplishment. And it does show that Imagen can get it right sometimes. But with a sample size of 5, you certainly don't have enough data to say it can consistently get descriptions like these right 3/5 of the time.

And the question at hand isn't "can it draw what I asked it to instead of random garbage" it's "can it combine multiple parts of a sentence in the correct way", which, assuming that determining the correct components is already a solved problem, doesn't have as many degrees of freedom. For example in the "astronaut riding a horse" example, if it has half of the results with an astronaut riding a horse, and half with a horse riding an astronaut, it clearly doesn't understand how it is composed, but you still have a decent chance of getting the right image. Especially if you take 10 samples and pick the best one.

It's not a secret. It's what makes it so impenetrably annoying that the smartest people move on to problems they can have more of an impact on, casting suspicion on anyone who survives in the current establishment. There was a post the other day from stopa.io about implemeting Russel and Whitehead's "Principia" in LISP, and then describing Godel's theorems relative to it, that to me was the future of maths. I'd posit that math is in the midst of the equivalent of the AI winter of the 80's and 90's, where current establishment thinking will be subsumed by practitioners just making shit work as the result of a generation of kids with access to things like Coq, theorem provers, and a bunch of hackers using functional languages, just like "AI" happened as the result of some adequate tooling available to people without gatekeepers. I think we're on the precipice of a rennaisance.

Exactly. This is why the whole "their hands are tied" excuse is so frustrating to me.
It's just multiuser keepass with integrations for active directory and such. It's not surprising that three startups building the same thing would realize they could merge and charge 10x the price they could get if they were competing. Since Delinea's rep just took a hit (due to customer error), there is easily room for two or three new players in this space.

I tried using an rpi4 as a media player a few months ago, and it was simply not fast enough, although one reason is I could not get HVEC hardware acceleration to work. I reverted back to using an old T430 laptop with a broken screen and k/b, which is ideal for 1080p.

With a normal bot, you can only run one boss-fight at a time and you are subject to network latency and imprecision of your actions.

In this blockchain scenario, couldn't you run millions of different simulations of the boss fight on your own computer and publish the one in which you get the most loot, take the least damage, produce the most compact proof, or whatever?

In any case, the "proof-of-victory" as I'll call it is a useful technique for a provably-fair gambling system. For example, you could have players gamble over the outcome of some turn-based game (with provably-fair randomness) like poker, or nethack. If you can implement a time limit, it would also work for something like chess.
I would pay skepticism to entrepreneurial commentaries on AlphaFold (CEO of a company based on competing technology has hot take, who would have guessed?), but I would mind the caveats and areas of improvement pointed out by domain experts i.e. Baker, AlQuraishi, etc. Keeping in mind that the latter usually spend more time praising AlphaFold than not -- and yes, they have more domain knowledge than pretty much anyone on HN:

https://moalquraishi.wordpress.com/2021/07/25/the-alphafold2...

It's almost entirely positive. There was a slice in time where I was effectively paid to find as many gaps in AlphaFold as I could, and, even then, I couldn't help but be impressed.
I am completely debt free. My partner does not work. My cash reserves would provide a very good buffer and allow me to take over a year off mostly stress free. After that, I could support my family with a typical low skill job. Getting even a part time job would greatly extend the reserves.

The big wild card is inflation. Inflation really screws over the lower income.

Surprisingly, this is an answerable question. It's not that we directly take away money from current existing billionaires — rather, we create policies that make SMB owners and working class the beneficiaries of the policies we implement.

For example:

1) Be more labor favored rather than rent favored in terms of tax policy. Like you rightly said, rent seeking is currently too strong compared to wages, tax policy should penalize rent seeking. This is only contentious because rent seekers are already too large of a population and would not support this.

2) Business environments that favor small business over large business. Large business is a choice, not an inevitability. I would much prefer a dynamic city with many small businesses (maybe higher prices overall) than the current cookie cutter walmart landscape. This is doable by policy, specifically creating policy that subsidizes small businesses and make them easier to start and run and penalizing large corporations.

3) Labor protection instead of risk and asset protection. For example, the wallstreet bailout is a policy environment that favors risk and asset protection over labor protection.

It's not that I'm pro-labor - trust me, when labor laws become too strong to the point that business suffer, I'm pro-business. But right now the working class is powerless to the point of suffering, while large businesses are at a historic level of return, even through multiple recessions.

Speaking of large businesses vs small businesses, I want to state again that there's a huge difference between billionaires and millionaires. Repeating again - large businesses are a byproduct of economic policy and not an inevitability.

Economic policy is not about optimizing for GDP or growth, it's about the preference of how you want your economy to run. Do you want cities where walmarts eat all the local businesses? That's a economic policy choice. Do you want billionaires? That's also an economic policy choice.

And the policy decisions are not "oh, you have a billion dollars, now we tax you." It's instead "oh, you have 6 buildings? maybe your 7th building will impose additional taxes." Oh, you are a giant multi-national shopping chain? Maybe we'll force minimum wage and benefits on your workers so that you can't expand everywhere recklessly. Oh, that rises the price of bread by .50$? Sure, we can live with that tradeoff.

This is what is meant by billionaires are a policy issue. It's not limiting your ability to be an entrepreneur - actually, a environment that is good for large businesses is usually bad for small businesses and entrepreneurship (because it favors the incumbents).
Surreal.

You may be generally right but you don’t speak for me! ;)

I read this and sincerely thought “wow, I haven’t ever given much thought to the intricacies of twilight but it’s really interesting!” Then again it’s around this time of year I start to regularly visit the site posting this article, and I’m not so much concerned with making more friends.
If there had been no dilution. Co-founders appear to have been diluted 80% so assuming seed investors were diluted 75% it’s more like a $10-12M valuation at the seed.
Speaking of such, during a rousing game of backgammon I did have occasion to refer to my opponent as a "Paddy", but I cannot believe that my use of
"That Gaming Term" could cause such consternation as to precipitate my removal.
True. I don’t mind depriving them of their livelihood, because advertising is intrusive. I don’t have to allow advertising onto my screen. There are more good youtube videos with no ads than anyone could watch in a lifetime. If 100% of people started blocking ads, and companies stopped buying ads as a result, then a lot of video creators would do something else. But like I said, many people create videos for reasons other than just money, and they won’t leave.
> Your business, your values, you're of course free to ignore Cloudflare if you disagree with their policies

Yes, thank you for making my argument for me?

> How can a business, specifically a CDN, not be centralized?

A CDN could not be centralized in the market by having meaningful competition. Cloudflare is in front of 80% of the Alexa top 1 million sites. That's a lot of eggs in one basket.

> What kind of support are they supposed to give their competitors that they aren't?

That's my bad. I meant that using Cloudflare is not supporting their competitors.

For what it's worth, I use Cloudflare for half a dozen sites. But I also run a local IPFS node (a decentralized CDN) because it fetches IPFS hosted content faster than the Cloudflare IPFS proxy does and because I don't like my own traffic being beholden to Cloudflare if I can help it.

I would counter that the current pedagogy -- at least high school through early undergrad -- is the most efficient path, or close to it, for teaching students to become electrical engineers in the analog era.

However, if a much more powerful criminal spies on your credit card # as you send money to Wikileaks or a bunch of truckers who drive to Ottowa for a protest you can never fix it when your card is cancelled and your bank account is seized. Or when you face a variety of other sanctions and persecutions for spending or donating your own hard-earned money.

Those features are not in the same league as the original promise of e.g. calling a business and making a reservation for you.
Alright, care to enlighten us then? How would you go about implementing such a thing?

The two methods mentioned here are quite flawed:

Kerbonut mentions the use of the signature of a gameserver to verify the loot. This obviously is not decentralized, and is essentially the same thing as having a centralized itemserver. This is part of what I mean when I said that "their development structure is not decentralized enough to warrant the use of cryptocurrency"

lmm mentions the use of a "proof-of-victory" given a random in-game challenge produced with a provably-fair RNG seed. Not only would this require a ton of bandwidth and CPU to store and verify these proofs (unless it's a turn-based game like chess or nethack I suppose), but it is not really sybil-proof. In other words, it puts people who play the game at a significant disadvantage to those who just bot. It incentivizes not actually playing the game.

Edit: note that this Decentralized-WoW thought experiment is fundamentally different from axie infinity. The case of axie infinity is a two-player game where they essentially gamble using the depreciation cost of their pokemon. It falls under the category I described as "gambling on the outcome of a game"

Acquisitions also preserve value in businesses that would otherwise shut down (now or are on a path to). They can create a combined business that's better than the sum of its parts. For example, Apple acquiring Next.

I would say that it seemed you were aiming a cannon at a mosquito. So what that Alexander showed us some slightly more coherent cherry picked images from some rather vague prompts. Not only did I not take that post as anything resembling science, I also didn’t take it more seriously than the average Reddit post with an interesting generation. It seemed completely non-serious to me, proof of nothing, not a Google PR submarine and mostly in good fun. The irony being that within your excellent post about compositionality, you seem to have missed his meaning, which seemed to me was “this is a fun thing I am excited about, I think it’s subjectively improving and I enjoy being right about that.”

Otherwise I thought you had a great introduction to compositionality and didn’t need to tilt at any windmills to make your points. I look forward to seeing your benchmark results for recent and upcoming models.

The problem is partially legal. Many of these objects have complex ownership. The US government should have some hesitation about simply starting putting a price on the destruction of things that might be owned by particular companies or countries.

I think what the government should do is invest in better tracking primarily. Then make a stronger law requiring sat makers to have a plan to remove debris also on failure.

Then they can clean up their own old junk and put a price on that.

It works the same way in space as it does in the ocean. You can mess with other people's stuff under the pretext of doing something legitimate, and you might get away with it or you might provoke a conflict.

It depends on who you are, who you're messing with, who your friends and their friends are, whether they stand to lose face or can pretend they didn't notice it, etc. The US once tried to steal the wreck of an entire Soviet nuclear-armed submarine off the bottom of the ocean (and mostly failed.) The Soviet response was a request to stop talking about it, because it wasn't worth a war and Soviet leadership didn't want to explain the incident to their own public.
Idk, I'm a progressive Bernie voter, but I've also seen how Portland has declined, and it's extremely real.

The article cites the fact that democrats don't directly cut police budgets. They don't have to. Rather, the morale at police departments in blue cities is extremely low. Cops in Portland know that the average person there hates them. Cops simply don't want to work in Portland, and so hundreds of openings stay unfilled.

Basically, the only way to fix this is to convince the cops that their elected officials have their back. Unfortunately, this basically means they hold your city hostage unless you vote for Republican leadership.

It's basically an unofficial police strike in blue cities.

Hey, at least I don't have to worry about speeding tickets anymore!
