If you had really cold ice cubes, already tightly packed, then the water you add would freeze, making a solid ice sheath around the cream-containing vessel, and yes, that would work great.

But with too much space around the ice cubes, or ice cubes that aren't cold enough, adding water will just give you more cold (but not freezing) water.

I think people have converged on adding salt to ice because it's so forgiving (for a variety of ice cube temperatures and geometries), and the salt itself doesn't appreciably heat anything (unlike your added water). Other comments here quantify this better than I can.

By 2030, when (according to the article) Honda proposes to have 15% of sales be battery electric, battery electric motorbikes should be quite a bit cheaper than gasoline powered. (15%. Such ambitious.)

That is, if the last decade's trend rates of decline in battery prices is maintained. There is little reason to doubt that, though.
Your language policing demands are alien to me. I am pretty much aware of the history of the term but disagree.
I remember the rampant public discussion in Germany about properly naming the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, denouncing prior examples to name new diseases by their (perceived) country of origin (compared to Syphilis, which was named by the Germans as "French disease", and by the French as "Neapolitan disease" etc.).
Telling people how to talk is just wrong in my opinion.
>There's zero giving involved.

Technically, the Fed gave the Treasury cash in exchange for debt, no? And it was giving the Treasury more in the past than it is now.

To extend the metaphor, You (the treasury) have $100 in expenses (debt) that I used to pay (buy). Now, I (the Fed) pay you (The Treasury) $95 and you need to ask your friend (the financial markets) for the other $5.

Sure, that's less than before, but nowhere near what actual removing liquidity would look like: actively selling holdings in addition to not replenishing matured Treasuries (in the metaphor: asking you to pay me the debt you owe me/giving you a new expense).

Beyond his day job as CEO of Team Cymru, Rabbi Rob Thomas also sits on the board of the Tor Project, a privacy focused non-profit that maintains the Tor software. That software is what underpins the Tor anonymity network, a collection of thousands of volunteer-run servers that allow anyone to anonymously browse the internet.

“Just like Tor users, the developers, researchers, and founders who've made Tor possible are a diverse group of people. But all of the people who have been involved in Tor are united by a common belief: internet users should have private access to an uncensored web,” the Tor Project’s website reads.

When asked by Motherboard in April about Thomas’ position on the Tor Project board while also being the CEO of a company that sells a capability for attributing activity on the internet, Isabela Bagueros, executive director for the Tor Project, said in an email that “Rabbi Rob's potential conflicts of interest have been vetted according to the standard conflicts disclosure process required of all board members. Based on the board's understanding of Rabbi Rob's work with Team Cymru, the board has not identified any conflicts of interest.”
It's kind of the opposite though.

I think it's more common with music. Some musician goes to a foreign country and heard an obscure local song. 20 years later the musician has forgotten completely about the song and the trip. One day a catchy melody appears in the head of the musician out of the blue, and the musician complete the song and add a lyric. The song get famous, and later reach the foreign country, and everyone acuse the musician of plagiarism.
How would you explain the fact that the experiments with current quantum computers support the theory?
If it were just the click-baity headline I wouldn't be bothered (as much), but the article repeatedly refers to these public images as being private

> "Late last week, a California-based AI artist who goes by the name Lapine discovered private medical record photos taken by her doctor in 2013 referenced in the LAION-5B image set"

> "...it bothers her that private medical images have been baked into a product without any form of consent or recourse to remove them."

> "Ultimately, Lapine understands how the chain of custody over her private images failed"

The article keeps claiming that private photos are included in a AI product, but the fact is that these were public photos when they entered the product. In fact, it's only because they were public that they were included.

The article attempts to frame this situation as "LAION steals private photos and won't take responsibility" but that's not only a lie, it ignores the real issue. If there is a problem here it is that these photos were made public in the first place when they shouldn't have been, at least according to the person photographed. It's entirely unclear what rights she has to these photos or to control how or where they are used, or that there was any illegal activity from any party in making those images freely available to the public.

Even if the LAION data set never existed it wouldn't change the fact that those images have been made public and have been being repeatedly copied/shared/viewed by all manner of people for any number of purposes. Calling out this one AI project is ridiculous. There are some good discussions to be had about if it's okay to use certain types of material in training datasets, but it doesn't help anyone to grossly misrepresent the issue.

I feel bad for people who suddenly realize that images of them are public when they didn't think that would happen, but there is notably zero information in this article about what exactly caused these images to get posted to public websites, who published them making the images public, and what rights the publishing party had when they did it.

Discussions on how to keep data that should be private from being made public, or making people aware that data they expect should be private may not be private at all is a lot more productive than hit pieces trying to help claw back images that have already been made public or spreading FUD about new and powerful technologies that only make use of already public data.

It’s completely ridiculous to believe that copyright claims are unenforceable because you ran it through an ML transformation engine.

you don't know it not to be true, you prefer that explanation.

but Dilbert, being a popular and therefore an expensive strip with high name recognition, and written by someone who rejects woke ideology, fits either way.
No real opinion there, my usual stack is different — those are just some of the players that came to mind. AGE has a Python driver, so maybe that’s a good place to start.

Note that depending on your data model, you may not need ”complex” edges, just ”simple” links directly from vertex to vertex. Not all databases support this.

Then again, you already might have N:M tables which exactly correspond to edges in a graph model. This distinction is something to keep in mind.
btrfs is a horrible mess that will likely lose your data. For the few production systems we implemented it on, every single normal failure that other file systems can recover from had resulted in complete loss. We've had to implement a project to rebuild all systems that used btrfs in order to remove it.

The machine had 128gb ram back then, but probably never needed that much. The applications working with the data ran on that same server, so processing latency was usually <10ms even for larger queries.

> If you stop paying your mortgage, they kick you out. (And neither of these absolves your financial responsibility).

12 states have 'non-recourse' mortgages, where if your mortgage is foreclosed on, the lender has no legal avenue to recover the difference if sale does not recover the principal.

More generally, what provides for recourse isn't the vague idea that 'you're still making payments'. It's a signed contract saying they can. No contract, no recourse. Contract terms for things like cars and homes are heavily regulated. Cell phones are getting there.

True for Eastern Europe and the Baltic states but France has always been somewhat of a reluctant member and Germany is not generally a proponent of extreme measure when it comes to Russia yet they are collaborative right now.

This is nonsense. Soviet union was a multinational state run by a very ideological party that suppressed any nationalistic sentiment. In all its 70 years it was led by Russians for maybe 16 or 17 years (Lenin, barely, then Khrushchev, Andropov and Gorbachev).
That's not quite equivalent, but I will indulge you. The truth is, there are many tools and libraries written in CPP, with many years of accumulated knowledge implicitly embedded in their codebases, that will take a very long time to replace, if some of them can be replaced at all.

It's fitting that you mention PHP, because while the ecosystem isn't quite the same, for all it's problems (especially security), WordPress is still viable for a bunch new projects, and things may remain that way for many years to come.
This might be a bit pedantic, but isn't it not necessarily that they provide a modified minio to users, but rather (or additionally) they are running a service that uses a modified minio under the hood?
Work to do what? Prove ownership? They don't. Attribute IP rights? They don't. Persist the art in an immutable state? They don't. Bundle any other perks with the art? They don't.

They are signed URLs that you can trade around on an exchange. This solves no problem that anyone making art has ever had.
>The net amount of liquidity is going down. They are removing liquidity.

Yes, they are actively injecting less liquidity than they were before which is my original point?

Wouldn't removing liquidity be actually selling holdings?

EDIT: Maybe this helps - you're taking for granted that the US Treasury auctions an increasingly large amount of Treasuries to cover an increasingly large amount of debt, but The Fed doesn't create that debt, that's a separate phenomenon. If the government balanced its budget for a year, does that create liquidity?
Yeah — but we’re still digesting the impacts.

Eg, you see that algebra and geometry “reappear” in things like computing — and the different perspectives of difference equations (geometry) versus typed statements (algebra).

Or, in things like category theory giving a framework where we can “abstract” arguments from different (type) theories that are the same “shape” — which has connected a number of fields.

It's worse than that. They have limited storage and if they can't sell much of the oil, they have to turn the wells off. Problem there is that the oil will freeze in the winter, the pipes crack, and then it takes a lot of work and expense to turn it back on.

Or so I have heard -- not posing as an expert on oil fields.
The commenter you're replying to would likely agree - the comment's point isn't about the value of speed, it's that by default pages are fast, and it takes deliberate (but ubiquitous) deviations from the rendered HTML to slow it down.
There's a book called 'Quantum Evolution' by Johnjoe McFadden that tries to answer the question of what processes in biology exploit quantum effects.

An obvious one is photon capture in photosynthesis that seems to rely on quantum effects to transfer energy around the antenna complex. I'm no doubt mangling that explanation, so see :

> They definitely deserved a charge, but I always thought Terroristic Threats was a strange one to choose.

Is this a case where meanings have diverged? In modern colloquial speech "terrorism" means certain kinds of extreme political violence (e.g. bombings) especially that committed by Islamists (e.g. al Qaeda and ISIS). "Terroristic threats" feels like it's legal jargon that may predate that by quite a bit.
None. There is no Muslim majority country on Earth at this moment which fully abides by Sharia. There are some Islamic laws here and there mixed with secular rulings. As such Muslim countries of today unfortunately engage with interest.

The thing with interest, there is very little in terms of going back. As mentioned in this thread the entire modern global economy is built on usurious financial instruments. This was not really the case a few hundred years ago where the level and extent of debt was not to the extremes of today.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?” The Prophet said, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust.”

I got a super weird results with the 'medium' and language Japanese (with a --task translate). The song is False Sympathy by Mondo Grosso.

"[01:17.000 --> 01:32.000] Translated by Releska" when using the translate to english. That entire part of the song is instrumental. This line does not appear at all in the original transcribe only in the opus format rip.

It shows up in the yt rip in format 251 (opus), but not in format 140 (aac from youtube), nor the flac rip. All three are giving different results.

The translation quality is tied to bitrate. Same song converted to different words, the only difference being bitrates and formats. Converting my own rip with the same parameters as yt (opus @140 and then @130) didn't allow me to reproduce this error.

The model hung for a solid extra minute at the end when translating to english, the last 90ish seconds of the song took real time 60 seconds, while the entire rest took about 90.
The same behavior was not observed with the transcribe.

Some of the english words are incorrect but that was expected. The first Japanese "mistake" I found was "全ては二人の" instead of "すべては ふたりの". With the left being what whisper wrote. A single random word "hey" was transcribed/translated to english even though it's the singer elongating the 園 while singing the 楽園. "落ちてゆく 二人で繋がれた二人のラグ HEY" instead of "落ちていく 鎖でつながれた 二人の楽園" .

I am using the official subtitles released on the youtube video.

It's a complex Japanese song with both japanese and english, and the original transcribe took about 20 real time seconds to start with the first line, 130 seconds for the whole song. It seems to be showing results in 20 second window increments, but this seems to depend on what it considers audio and what it is throwing away.

On my computer I wasn't able to use the large model because I ran out of VRAM, I have 8gb, not sure how much more it'd require. So I ran it with medium.

The song is False Sympathy by Mondo Grosso. The mv is suggestive, in case that matters. I grabbed a fresh audio rip from Youtube because I didn't want to take it out of my cd case.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Y-WsgpzlQ

It is translating this version differently from the director's cut version. I ripped both as opus.

There is something weird about how it is handling the opus encoded version, as I find the same "Translated by Releska" in a wav version transcoded from the opus.
