Go feign surprise somewhere else, mate. Fat was the dietary scapegoat for decades because the powers that be wanted to sell us cereal-dominated diets, not because there was some amazing science that proved (at the time) that fat was bad and carbs were good.
I believe the more important issue is that material generated through AI is not copyrightable by the author of such images.

If you are an artist you can't claim any copyright on what you're generating.

If you're not the copyrighted holder it follows that you can't sell it or that you can't complain if someone else copy it (verbatim) and sells it.

I'm curious how this would be implemented to only detect alcohol impairment, wouldn't it be technically easier to check for impairment of any kind, including drowsiness?

And I am really interested how they would sort through false positives of a passenger being drunk but the designated driver is not, someone having open alcohol in the car, using alcohols to sanitize etc.

The pay is near top and the engineers are talented. There are a lot of systems in place to get you to work near max capacity all the time with little slowdown time. There are lots of processes and political upheavals that make it hard to ship code. Some people love it.

Isn't that effectively like saying "there's no fundamental difference between my three friends who like to talk about how democracy works and the Hong Kong government"?

The fundamental difference between Tether and HKD (or any other currency) is that Tether is not a legally recognized currency.

That may mean nothing to you, or to various other people who think that laws mean less than code, but it means a hell of a lot to most of the world.

I’m really tired of people assuming decentralized = eth derivative. The practical use cases of federated and decentralized apps have been shown (no one source of truth, tampering or failure) but practical apps aren’t going to use a cryptocurrency why the hell would they.

At scale we’ve been building completely decentralized applications for a decade and a half. They’re just internal to some organization not public. Taking this and placing the database in the users hands is an interesting way to go but not exactly an order of magnitude more complex at that point.

But this doesn’t require some dumbass blockchain currency and ethereum is super forced.
This seems at odds with the great resignation. Was that actually a thing? If so, do folks think it was encouraged by companies who saw that the great freeze and now great rif were coming?

So for 99% of startups (who don't raise venture capital anyway) there is no difference. But for Microsoft there is a huge difference, which is why the big tech companies are doing layoffs.

Obviously the US economy doesn't work like an individual's economy (as in, you can't just spend less than you earn and be OK) but it's really difficult to understand what the complications actually are and posts like this help a lot.
If a student studied an older master in school and produced a painting inspired by that old master that included a copy of the signature of the old master, this would be more indication of intent to fraud than if they didn't include the signature.

Copyright can be fairly flexible in interpreting what constitutes a derivative work. The Getty water is evidence that an image belongs to Getty. If someone produces an image with the watermark and gets sued, they could say "your honor, I know it looks like I copied that image but let's consider the details of how my hypercomplex whatsit work..." and then judge, say a nontechnical person, looks at the defendant and say "no, just no, the court isn't going to look at those details, how could court do that?". Or maybe the court would consider it only if you paid 1000 neutral lawyer-programmers to come up with a judgement, at a cost of millions or billions per case.
The title is "Distinguished Engineer".

I have no idea of the pay but based on my research of salaries for getting a job this year I would wildly speculate high 6 digits to low 7 digits.
Any regulated casino is the key. The “ad” I saw was for a gambling site based in Eastern Europe that actually geo-blocked me as I was in the UK, so I wouldn’t be surprised if regulations there are much more lax if not completely absent.

From a technical perspective, even if we assume that the operator indeed can’t adjust the odds, it would take an engineer only a few hours to mock out the API endpoints the front end calls to return consistent wins and then it’s just a matter of using a browser extension or a proxy to redirect all traffic to the fake server to be able to film such a video (still much easier than faking the video itself).
But a $1/million year company ignores profit though. Easy to make revenue at a loss. The Uber losses model will not work unless you have a lot of VC backing.
It's surprisingly easy to make money if you have no soul or ethical qualms about anything.
The power optimizations are in the Mainboard electrical design, firmware, and OS, and improve both standby and in-use efficiency. The battery itself is identical to the one in other Framework Laptops.

On the storage, we use Western Digital SN730 and SN740 drives, which are also what we put in the pre-built Framework Laptops. These are roughly equivalent to the SN750 and SN770 retail drives, respectively.

On the memory and storage, ChromeOS technically has an allow-list for memory and storage, though in practice we have seen modules not on the list work fine. We'll be adding that list onto the Knowledge Base. We will be making parts that are on the list available in the Framework Marketplace for guaranteed compatibility (the memory we already have, and we'll be introducing SN730/SN740 storage up to 1TB).
Shouldn't we have more devices and more connection types to have a more controlled experiment?

It's always 4G, mobile Chrome and I assume the same device.

Very likely same carrier at the same place, so roughly same connection conditions in terms of latency DL/UL bandwidth and jitter. Also always the same device with same CPU/GPU. Perhaps a flagship new shiny phone with a superfast SoC which gives a headstart to faster JS execution? Or perhaps a very spotty barely 1-bar 4G connection. (Just assumptions, maybe both are false, but you get the idea)

I'm a bit fan of client-side generation using JS too but I don't think this experiment is exhaustive of many practical scenarios.

If we see more connection types and more variety of devices with different CPUs then it'd be more convincing.
In the US, for a while I remember we had billboards advertising McDonald's burgers as being "1 <hamburger> <hamburger>% beef". Because the hamburgers were of course circular, it looked kind of like "100%".

I remember thinking that surely an image of a hamburger does not legally constitute a zero.
I'm looking forward to your comparison. It's really hard to make sense of how good this model actually is without being an expert in the area.
It is a little dystopian. On the other hand, clearly the various legal and ethical reasons to not drink and drive aren't helping as much as they could.

My understanding, though, is that driver training in the US is a joke compared to other countries. Aside from a lower age requirement, it is incredibly easy to get a learner's permit and driver's license here, so much so that the latter is the primary form of ID for almost everyone.

Per the NHTSA[0],

> In 2020, 29% of young drivers 15 to 20 years old who were killed in crashes had BACs of .01 g/dL or higher.

So teenagers are driving earlier than other countries, but then, our alcohol culture is also pretty weird. There is an expectation of teetotaling until you hit 21. In practice, this means teenagers are sneaking out, frequently by car, to drink. [1]

But then you have to ask, why are teenagers sneaking out by car? Well, that's because with only a handful of very dense, urban exceptions, there is no infrastructure to get around any other way. When an American says small town, what they mean is, "a town with a small population that is suprisingly large on the map". And when they say city, what they mean is, "a town with a larger population that is still surprisingly large on the map". These places don't have buses or bike trails or even sidewalks.

The whole thing is a mess of unintended consequences from top to bottom. If we had better travel options, kids wouldn't need cars to sneak around. If we had a less puritanical alcohol culture, the kids wouldn't need to sneak around at all. If we didn't have rely on cars so extensively, we could raise driving age and driver test requirements to make the roads safer all around.

Maybe instead of looking for the technological easy way out we ought to 1) promote safer forms of travel than every-man-for-himself multi-ton death machines, 2) treat them like the multi-ton death machines they are instead of handing out licenses like candy, and 3) embrace reality to give kids safe outlets to do what they're going to do anyway instead of burying our heads in the sand and pretending our precious little babies would never do anything bad.

While it is not technically "creating" new money it is expanding the supply of money (credit) in the economy. In the above example you still have $1000 owed to you and the company/person receiving that loan now has $900. That's a total of $1900 of "real" money generated from your $1000 deposit. The balance sheets net out to zero but there is in effect an extra $900 now in the economy.
It's all too little too late. Considering the scale of monetary easing in the last 2+ years, this is like pissing in desert. Quite frankly, I can't blame the market for being skeptical of Powell's "resolve." He did an about face in 2019 with the taper tantrum.
I doubt you can. If the data collection is illegal under the GDPR (or it’s incarnation under danish law), then it won’t help if you don’t use it in a public facing context. The GDPR doesn’t make any difference between subjects that are employed by the entity collecting the data and others.

Western Europe already did that in 2014 when Russia invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.

Might be too late for the regime. Crowds were just overwhelming riot cops and kicking the shit out of them last night. Swarms don't depend on coordination, and while the regime will obviously try the demoralization strategy of saying that riots have been suppressed everywhere and the disturbance is over, their credibility is at a historic low.
Yes. Consensus is that everything looks like normal play.
When rates rise in response to inflation, that’s not a “meaningful” return you’re getting, is it?
Its easy to buy car parts online that are illegal for road use. Same concept applies - you can build whatever kind of car, or website, you want. But there are rules about how that car or website must be used when around the general public.
I really want all this too. The smallest model is ~80mb and the largest is 3gb. Not sure about system requirements yet; but models that small suggest this may be doable locally on a single board computer.

Edit: According to this comment[0] the base model runs in real time on an M1 CPU. The tiny model apparently decodes an audio file twice as fast. These are promising results.

Low unemployment causes inflation. Low employment is bad for rich people (employers). Inflation is also bad for rich people since their wealth decreases. No wonder high inflation is the worst thing that The Economy can experience.
This was a real blocker for me when I played with Julia a bit ago, 30 seconds to run the ODE package was just crazy when Python could import it basically instantly. I'll look forward to giving Julia another go once I get a chance.
I noted this in another comment, but that mainboard swap should work. You'll likely need a Chromebook-specific Input Cover and Webcam for full functionality though, and this is an upgrade path we have done limited validation effort on thus far.

When switched into developer mode, it should be possible to update and customize firmware. There is a pretty active community for Chromebook firmware customization out there.
Cloudflare D1 is in closed beta so everything is presumably tentative, but atm they don't support transactions (!) and it doesn't appear to be on their near-term product roadmap. That one really surprised me.

I know nothing of the economy, but I was pretty convinced by this: https://www.longtermtrends.net/m2-money-supply-vs-inflation/

For most significant spikes, there's a two year delay to a spike in inflation. 2009 and 2012 being a clear violation of that observation.
Precisely! No obligation on either side.
I mean, “inflation” is what the article claims. To change it would be to editorialize (by admin decree, even). Although I guess you’re joking.
What's the argument that it doesn't affect inflation? If the feds printed infinity dollars, surely each dollar would become less as it approached infinity? Otherwise, we should just do that and give everyone money?
We have "Register your interest" set up for other countries currently. Depending on how much interest there is, this is something we will consider as we go forward.
Omg. When someone has a spending problem, literally nobody says "OH, go make more money!", we tell them to cull their bad habits. Raising taxes has _never_ balanced the budget.
I wonder what Docker's peak bandwidth usage is, and how they make it work, financially.

Sure, but that is not what Google is advertising, and it should be Google's responsibility to inform users about that.

Exaggerated example: If I would buy a car which by design isn't road legal, and this design flaw would cause an accident killing someone. Normally the carmaker would be responsible. The carmaker couldn't say, well technically, it's only for use in your backyard, but you have to be a lawyer to know that, and our advertising isn't reflecting that at all. Somehow, Google get's away with such logic.
Successful pump-and-dumps usually involve spreading a narrative (e.g. false rumors) in addition to the price action, though.

> Plus chances are Bitfinex did the pump bit but actually holds onto a lot of the crypto it bought anyway.

Yeah, this is a theory that makes more sense to me. Tether may have driven up the price over time by buying and holding bitcoin. The more they bought, the more they drove up the price, reinforcing their decision to buy. Similar to Archegos, but with bitcoin instead of equities.

What was the 2009 crisis though? was that your run-of-the-mill recession (all business cycles have crests and valleys!) or was 2009 something different?

Does anyone operate under the assumption another recession (maybe even two or three) will occur in the next 10-20 years with 100% certainty and like, prepare for those rainy days?

You can't have "private medical images" that are also easily found and being made available to anyone at no cost 24/7 on the public internet. Maybe we need a new word to replace "private" when we're talking about images that are very much public but we wish weren't.

There's a very practical reason for the "do not negotiate with terrorists" mantra. Not because it's good or noble, but because negotiating simply kills much more people in the long run, probably orders of magnitude more.

The west did exactly what you said the last two times Russia took a bite out of Ukraine, and now we're in this mess, with millions involved and nuclear war on the table. I fear to think where we'd be with another round or two of passing the buck.
My understanding of the great resignation was it was mostly an older population who had put off retirement that decided they'd rather be retired [1]. Sure a lot of people not 55+ also quit but they came back while 55+ did not.

I'm not particularly fluent in Rust, but at least several of those express meaningful differences in what you're doing, not just how. Eg are you promising to deallocate and otherwise clean up the object when you're done with it, versus are you promising that the caller can keep using it after you return.
It is indeed. The intent of that is to communicate that no matter what the OS is doing, the privacy switches for the camera and microphone are yours to control. The switches function at hardware level with no possibility of software override.

>The question now is what’s the USA end game here and how do we go there without backing Russia to much into a corner so they don’t feel they have to use the nuclear option.

The most convincing argument I've heard in favor of continued US involvement in the war is that the objective is primarily about degrading Russian combat power such that, should a hot war kick off in the Pacific (over the Spratlys, over Taiwan, etc), Russia does not enter as a co-belligerent with CCP against the US + Japan. This implies that there is indeed some limit where we decide that there isn't much left in the tank for Russia to leverage in that theater. However, determining what exactly that limit is is a separate question, and this is some rather cold-hearted calculus because it admits that NATO's involvement doesn't have much to do with Ukrainian "democracy", which to me seems to be true.

Edit: bad grammar
I'm in the same place. I would love to upgrade mine to chrome os just for the battery life.
Yes but that was not it. The game that was demonstrated in this ad was something called “Lucky Jet” or “Aviator” where you bet some money and then there’s a multiplier than goes up starting from 0 - at some point the multiplier will crash and you lose your bet, so your objective is to cash out before that. For the game to be profitable you’d need the multiplier to sometimes crash before 1, but in his video that never happened and he was consistently able to cash out in profit. If these were the real odds the casino would be bankrupt very quickly. Maybe the casino is crooked in a different way and just finds excuses to never let you withdraw your winnings, so they can really give you good odds knowing you’ll never actually be able to withdraw your winnings.
Can you buy illegal car parts (sold by a European entity, for example) which advertise themselves as road legal but aren't?
