> The latest Ukrainian victories were due to NATO forces taking over so many core operations, it's basically Russia vs NATO.

Evidence?

NATO is sending a lot of materiel and weapons. NATO is helping with intelligence. If that's what you mean by "core operations", maybe I can see it. More than that? Let's see the evidence.
The casinos do not set the odds on the games, the game providers do. You can play the same games across many online casinos, much like how you can play the same slots across many Vegas casinos.

They cannot adjust odds of the slots, that's not how that works. The casinos can cover any losses of slot streamers however.

neither does AI. They don't operate in pixel space, but in latent space, which is the same as a mental model and the neural networks that do this even have a lot in common with how our visual cortex works. The conversion to pixel only happens in the last step when the concept has been generated as mental model (latent representation). They're doing the same thing human designers do, just orders of magnitude faster.

It does seem like much of Getty's business is redundant if you can trivially generate "photograph of person laughing while eating a bowl of salad"

There's something about YouTube Premium that I just can't get comfortable with. Maybe I'm just old, and don't like the world moving to subscriptions? But €12/m seems a lot to avoid ads, despite watching quite a lot of YT. I know it also offers other things, but I don't care about those; €5-6 would seem a more reasonable price?

And is it weird that, as the ads are becoming longer and less skippable, I'm considering upgrading our living room from an AppleTV to some sort of NUC, primarily because I can then run ad-blocking software for YouTube? This would likely cost > 1 year's subscription, plus setup time, hassle, etc.
Uniforms don't sound like a terrible idea in principle: you give the students something nice to wear, it contributes to trust / cohesion and reduces (but can't eliminate) style peer pressure / bullying.

The overall effect of the uniforms I was made to wear was a lifelong resentment towards Land's End.

Theoretically something like that could be possible, but that is not how we operate. Hardware products have typically >12 month development timelines.

Diffusion models, Midjourney: not accepted. Okay that was the easy part.

Probably what they mean is "majorly created with AI" but still then how is "majorly" defined then?

>But the idea of a powerless Russia, or even worse, a Russia that is a puppet of China, is terrifying.

This is already the case. Everyone knows Russia's military prowess was a bluff - that's why we've seen another attempt in Armenia; fortunately USA came and filled the power vacuum there. And of course Kazakhstan used that opportunity to humiliate Putin once again.

Russia could theoretically balance between China and India. But it sounds like a complicated act, especially so for a failed state. I think it will end up with making sure Russia ends up being a puppet, but not a very useful one.

I think a lot of it comes from the fact that he realizes there is a demand for kernel maintainers in the future and the C expertise isn't there as well. If you can get maintainers to come in that are Rust devs then they can work on things without introducing significant issues due to some of the default safety guarantees and guardrails that Rust provides while at the same time having approximate to near performance parity
He didn't talk about PayPal's board, that's something you just came up with. He talked about the attitudes of the C-suite and it's fair to assume that account termination policy is indeed set by the C-suite. Who else would set such policies?

> he has no idea why they suspended his account

Yes he does. From the article:

"The only clue as to what might be going on was a message sent a couple of days ago from PayPal on the now closed Daily Sceptic account. The crucial passage read: PayPal’s policy is not to allow our services to be used for activities that promote hate, violence or racial intolerance"

This is clearly not a statement in favour of free speech, it's an enumeration of what types of speech they think they are banning. However, he disagrees that anything on the site promotes hate, violence or racial intolerance.

And he's right. So the question is what did trigger this. IMO it's very likely the work of the trans lobby. DS hasn't had any problems until now but they only started posting news about stuff like Tavistock very recently. To some people, disapproving of almost anything trans-related is the same thing as "hate".
I have YouTube Premium for the whole family, watching YT any other way is now unacceptable! Maybe it's sad that I have to be forced to pay to hide the ads? But yoinks, the platform needs to get paid somehow and honestly YT Premium is pretty good value when I look at it.

> Naively, if our EROI halves, then we should be at worst half as rich,

Interesting question. Not if energy is used to build things that then build things, which it is. Depending on how long that "chain" is on average, the efficiency difference can compound exponentially.

For example, if you have 3 chains of repeated processing, and each link is made 10% more efficient, the total output is increased by 1.1^3, or about 33.1%

I am not sure what kind of a number you could empirically estimate for the "average chain length" of the physical "tool chain" used to produce modern industrial goods, but it's probably at least 2, which would suggest halving efficiency yields cutting final output four-fold!

And yes, I don't actually have a real idea of the answer because it also depends on many other factors like the degree to which energy is the limiting resource for each individual step, how fast capital amortizes (literally how long a factory part lasts between replacement, essentially), etc. I really have no idea either. But my first back of the envelope initial guess would be more pessimistic than "cut efficiency in half, get half the output"

They have an insatiable lust for higher numbers, that requires going out of sequence. My suggestion: just add another circle for each generation! So now we can be on DOOOOOM, and NVIDIA could have the GTX 10000000000000000000. I guess they'll want to use calculator notation, so like GTX 1E20, wait, dang it, my joke suggestion has become better than their current naming scheme.
LTS is inherently expensive and it is just boring drudgework. TAANSTAAFL. You paying anything for support?

SemVer is also absolutely abused to be toxic since there's no clear definitely of what is a bug and what is a feature and what is breaking change and what is just an xkcd-spacebar and it is all ultimately subjective. And while there's always the argument that you just bump a major version every time someone complains, if you're bumping majors every 3 months then someone will complain about that.
Googler, opinions are my own.

Google definitely has not lost interest. The Chromebook team at Google is actually involved in almost (all?) Chromebooks made. Since Google is responsible for all firmware/software updates for the life of that Chromebook, they are involved in that way. As well, the hardware/firmware teams here do a lot of the core engineering to getting the core parts of the hardware working (motherboard/cpu at a minimum). And all BSP's end up living in the ChromeOS source tree I believe: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/external-bsp-hosting/

I’ve stop buying name brand on Amazon (Nike, Apple products, Hanes etc) a few years ago due to poor quality assurance and potential for counterfeit — cue joke about how Nike and counterfeit Nike are made in the same sweatshop. I would happily buy counterfeit Nike but only if it’s heavily discounted. I don’t want to be tricked into buying second hand clothes, useless junk or counterfeit products. However you bring up a good point, some of products on Amazon from Asia are just fine if you’re looking for basics like T shirts and Athletic wear. But outside of that would highly suggest people buy electronics and brand name clothing elsewhere.
Linux only editions nevertheless makes sense if you want to cut down on the chipset cost.

AMD chipsets have SoundWire, and MIPI CSI/DSI support, but there are no way to use them in Windows. Intel is starting to support them as well with Alder Lake mobile.

SoundWire is way simpler than HDA, and availability/cost is better.

Connecting the whole suite of peripherals over i2c allows to dispose of wide LIF cable from the front panel. No LPC EC needed.

MIPI CSI cameras are vastly superior to USB ones, and are dirt chip for price/picture quality due to the size of smartphone market.

Tablet use MIPI DSI panels price/quality is superior to LVDS panels, and you will never get such thin laptop-use panels.

Linux can use non-SMBus battery gauges, and PMICs. Again, you can forego paying the x86 premium on SMBus vs. i2c controlled PMICs.
I'd also love to see a RISC-V variant at some point when it makes sense.

Most of those countries listed while they have multiple ethnicities, the police cannot tell one ethnicity from the other, readily, so I don't think it's a big factor (outside Brazil), so yeah, Egypt and Pakistan have ethnicities that hate each other, but the police don't filter for ethnicity and then deliver violence, they are just violent.

Also, police mistreatment is not only killings (which can be sometimes be justified and other times not) but also rights violations and other lesser violence. For example, you are extremely unlikely to be killed by Japanese police (they can bet perps will not have weapons) but once you get arrested, you have very few rights. Other places are rife with bribery and corruption (Mexico, Brazil). In Spain you might get the rubberhose treatment, and anecdotally, I know someone who got a very nice dog sicked on to them by the police in Germany (it looked like you were running away!).

Human artists create with intent. Statistical image generation throws paint at a million walls and keeps the handful that are statistically close to images tagged with words in a prompt.

The science is statistics.

Fifty percent of positive results are false positives.

5% of negatives are false negatives.

Most results are negative.

Lets assume 99% for this example but for most uncommon allergies it is probably lower.

So out of 100 tests, the results are expected to be accurate 99 * 0.95 + 1.0 * 0.50.

That's essentially 95% of the time.

In addition, the harm is in not treating an undiagnosed allergy. So there's no direct harm from treating a false positive. The harm is in not treating an a false negative.

The other thing about the prick test is that it is fast and easy.

The alternative is controlled diet.

It's way more work.

Good luck.

(Note: I work in this "supply chain security" space.)

Until VEX[0] is further along, I worry about the utility of an approach like simply publishing an SBOM for every release.

The presence of a package does not usually mean that there is an exploitable vulnerability[1]. Reality is that only 2-5% of reported vulnerabilities matter.

VEX aims to provide an ability to say, "Yeah, we use that vulnerable library, but we don't call the vulnerable function."

FedRAMP will help push this problem forward though because if you can't meet that certification, you can't sell to the government. And that includes any company in the "supply chain" that has customers that sell to the government too.

It's definitely going to be noisy as hell though!

But see, if all of Ukraine is really part of Russia, then it all makes sense. They are "liberating" occupied territory, and "defending" Russia itself.

The problem is bigger and I think “Bob” can be very damaging to “Reem”. If “Bob” ever threw a tantrum on the issue board while “Reem” quietly and politely shut his issue down he could get vindictive. He could in fact damage “Reem”’s career prospects if she were to apply into “Bob”’s company for a job. He could write damaging reviews that make it harder to attract contributors.

So in this example the behavior did not escalate. But if “Reem” is someone who does this in her free time and planning to use it as experience when searching for positions - “Bob” can have the ability to make her life quite miserable. I’m pretty sure those cases exist.
