It's the legal issue, though. I personally think that laws against gambling are none of the government's damn business, and if Twitch is doing this only because of laws, then I don't like it, but blame the government, not Twitch. If gambling were legal, and Twitch decided to ban it anyway, I would hold it as equivalent to them banning porn on their platform, and totally legit, at least as long as Twitch was not a monopoly.
Same experience here, as recently as with AMD's 5000 series GPUs. As far as I'm aware their OpenCL stack is still terrible, they're focusing mainly on HIP and ROCm, but it too has terrible consumer side support and an update model that makes it essentially useless as a long term investment. They include device code for every supported GPU, so they have to drop support for older cards to keep the binaries reasonably sized.

In contrast, CUDA compiles down to a device agnostic intermediate language so they can support the same code on several generations of hardware, limited only by the CUDA feature level available on the hardware.

AMD still has a long way to go for now. Both in terms of 'primary' functionality like supported hardware and compilers and 'secondary' functionality like detailed profiling and debugging tools.
If removing an organization's ability to accept and send payments due to their entirely legal messaging isn't censorship, I'd like to see what is. If this organization is on the level, it would be a godsend for Palestinian or Yemeni charity organizations, who are constantly getting their payments screwed with and their accounts closed.

Palestinians are cancel culture victim #1, and the only reason anyone has ever heard of Bari Weiss is that she was a college campus cancel culture warrior.
No because that is based on date of release not of purchase.

Basically every OSS license contains something like the following (examples from MIT):

> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software

> to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software

Adding restrictions on who can use the software goes against the idea that the software is for anyone, anywhere.

The quote above comes from OSI (Open Source Initiative):

> 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

> The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.

> 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

For-profit business is a "field of endeavor". Restricting usage for for-profit businesses can be a good idea, but it's no longer open source.

Tether (and the various exchanges that use it) has enough liquidity to process withdrawals, and likely has enough slack in the system to process periods of higher then normal withdrawal amounts.

As long as Tether has some liquidity, things will keep operating as normal. However, if the amount of money withdrawn is greater then the amount deposited, eventually Tether's reserves will dry up. Once that happens, anyone with outstanding USDT will be stuck with a worthless asset. Only Tether knows how close we are to that point, and they aren't saying.

Until paint was produced commercially during the Industrial Revolution (circa 1800), painters had to make their own paints by grinding pigment into oil.[1]

Photography drove painting deeper towards abstraction. [2]

I'm not unsympathetic but the AI revolution might be a similar revolution despite fiddling with code currently being much less pleasant than flinging industrially mass-produced paint from mass-produced tools in a sunlit studio. At least in the medium term, someone will still have to manage the machine.

I'm looking at this too. The kneejerk reaction over the last few weeks has been for incumbent communities to start discriminating against AI art due to a standard of creative merit that they can't articulate. Whereas the AI art communities are rapidly iterating with what is a very creative process, that is just new and unfamiliar. I fully expect them to refine and articulate what that is. Controlling Stable Diffusion with variables is honing one's tools, seeding it with a sketch is very creative. Having tools for faster processing is no different than other content creation and what artists do. I think these communities will make their own places very quickly. Some people will monetize, others are just more able to fulfill their creative vision which I'm more a fan of than gatekeeping how much discipline is necessary to do art.
The one with "researcher" title is one of those who spent most of their life learning about the subject, comparing and simulating different theories, and weighing the odds using statistical models, which by the way is also why they are aware of the uncertainty of their conclusions.

So, when those people gather and are in a consensus about a specific question, it means a lot.

Whereas when a lay person without such title or background questions the consensus, it really means little.

A great way to be helpful to Humanity, for the Daily Sceptic, would have been to take important things brought by researchers on, say, AGW, and make an effort to transform it in a format more easily understandable to the public.

In place of that, they pick articles bearing ultra-minority opinions against the consensuses, and they propulse them to the rank of "just another opinion in a controversial problem", although the problem is not at all controversial, it's just that there always exist people who say anything.

Sure, but the content that started this thread is explicitly complaining about people who do claim that Tether has $0 backing it - of which there are a few in this thread.

The OP was not complaining that people think Tether is not well enough backed, they were complaining that some are "certain" that it is not backed at all - the least informed being the most certain.

Christmas gifts for my parents. I've had them on Chromebooks for the last few years, and my father is a tinkerer (Western Electric in the 70s) who routinely opens up laptops, phones, cameras, etc. for repairs or just because.
FWIW, I fully agree.

When I initially heard "Defund/decomission police", I thought it was utter insanity. Then (sadly, some time later) when I forced myself to read the policy recommendations, I 100% agreed - alter and reduce the scope of police, move the funding to methods that may provide better results, look at root causes rather than just reactive enforcement, engage with community in more productive and empathetic ways, demilitarize the police force, etc. So I'm 100% the target audience for massive agreement, but mighty flying spaghetti monster, the phrase chosen is awful and completely counter-productive/counter-communicative to any literal-minded nerd like myself :P. If I were a conspiracy theorist I would call it external sabotage :D
I once contacted Patreon about re-adding support for non-SMS-based 2FA & while the customer service agent didn't seem to entirely understand, they did forward my request to the dev team when I asked. A few days/weeks later, it was back[1]. I'm grateful for all those involved who made that happen, as most companies don't listen when contacted about 2FA.

And tangentially, while I can't be as certain about my involvement in this next part, Nickelodeon eventually uploaded a non-pixelated version of ATLA on Google Play shortly after the second time I contacted them. I still can't understand how an MS Paint quality version was uploaded in the first place, but I'm glad no one else will have to suffer through that like my brother did.

This is really cool! Unfortunately i primarily am interested in offline databases so perhaps i'm just not the target audience. However i have to ask, on that note, does this have any application in the offline space?

Ie i wonder if there's a way to can write your applications such that they have less/minimal contention, and then allow the databases to merge when back online? Of course, what happens when there inevitably _is_ contention? etc

Not sure that idea would have a benefit over many SQLite DBs with userland schemas mirroring CRDT principles though. But a boy can dream.

Regardless, very cool work being done here.
Much less the case after 2008.

And definitely was never the case if that chain of assets had the same par value.

E.g. a 100% dollar-backed worth $1000 can never be backed by $1000 of B-rated mortgages. It would have been e.g. $2000 of B-rated mortgages. Obviously, this still had a massive flaw as we saw.

The point still stands though that USDT's profits are probably all based on it's float, so they want to go as risky as possible to generate more profits. They get all the upside of high-yield assets, and not the downside.
This is probably not targeted at gamers. I'd bet the RTX 4090 will have far superior gaming performance at a lower price, while this will likely have superior CUDA/tensor performance. I can't see how ECC RAM would be beneficial to gaming, but for drafting, scientific applications, machine learning, etc, it'd be pretty valuable.

So the chances are pretty high this would go into a machine with ECC RAM for the system as well.
Clarifying: when I said "otherwise did not have "coworkers" or "co-volunteers" I mean only for a period of a few months. There have almost always been people in the Discord to respond if something came up, but there were many working sessions in a row where I was the only one to show up.

Some of the Win32 things mention "millisecond precision only", but this isn't quite correct.

Waitable Timers on Win32 let you request time values in units of 200 nanoseconds. See `CreateWaitableTimer`, and `SetWaitableTimer`.

`Sleep` and `SleepEx` can be implemented using a waitable timer, just use `WaitForSingleObjectEx`.

If you need to wait for an object (semaphore, etc) using a time unit other than milliseconds, you can use `WaitForMultipleObjectsEx` with one of them being a waitable timer.

---

The next question is if Win32 can actually deliver those requests for precise times or not. From the testing I did a while ago where I was simulating Sleep, I got actual sleep times rounded to about 4ms. So much for requesting nanosecond level precision.

You're right, I missed that. Still, my point stands :p
This is different from plagiarism. Because in plagiarism there is an original that can be compared against. There is a specific work/person where a infraction was commit-ed against.

In AI produced artwork, the artwork is genuinely original and possibly better then what other humans can produce. No one was actually harmed. Thus in actuality it offers true value if not better value then what a human can produce.

It displaces humanity and that is horrifying, but technically no crime was committed, and nothing was plagiarized.

I first learned about Mr. Subotnick in a class about the development of electronic music, among other titans of the 20th century avant-garde music. Many of these composers will never earn the widespread appreciation they are due for their accomplishments, but they left an indelible mark on music production, and serve as inspiration for a surprisingly wide breadth of artists.

The video cited claims at 8:55 that the English word “student” comes from the Sanskrit words “stuti” (a text containing learning, according to the video) and “anta” (the final goal, according to the video). This is WhatsApp-level misinformation. “Student” is related to Latin “studere” which means diligent application to a task. “Stuti” (from the Proto Indo Aryan root स्तु-) primarily means praise, but can also mean by extension a song containing such praise, or a text containing such songs. “Student” and “stuti” are not cognates. Student != stuti + anta. After this point the video is not worth watching.

Ironically, this video which claims to prove that you can’t express in English everything that you can express in Sanskrit is itself in English. Sanskrit non-translatables are a myth. Yes, individual English words don’t map 1:1 to individual Sanskrit words. This is the case for any two lects. That doesn’t mean you can’t use a sequence of words in English to describe all possible connotations of a word in Sanskrit, unless English didn’t even contain words for the concepts underlying the connotations of this Sanskrit word. If that had actually been the case, Rajiv Malhotra would have had to write his book Sanskrit Non-Translatables in Sanskrit, and not in English as he actually did.

Yeah I'm curious too. My first thought was the recent post of the Blender3d plugin for using StableDiffusion to generate textures. If you made an elaborate 3d render, but most of your textures were AI generated, is that excluded? The wording suggests it would be banned, but it's not detailed enough to be sure.
Start with the Rust book. Then "Rust for Rustaceans" by John Gjengset is a fantastic resource to learn about more than just the basics. He posts hour long videos on his youtube where he explains the concepts that he mentions in his book. I found that reading a chapter and then watching one of his videos really taught me about /why/ the language is as it is, rather than just learning to get the compiler to be happy. (It also includes chapters about API design and what to look out for if you are going to publish your own crate)
This is correct. The only difference between this and commercial software is the user expects a fix for free. No commercial vendor is going to revert an important change for a customer giving them zero money. If you are paying them millions, then sure.

Open source can be the same. Offer Reem millions, your problem will likely get fixed. Even a low bug bounty might work. But, exactly like commercial software, people won't break lots of users to fix one user without a lot of motivation.

“Webb also captured seven of Neptune’s 14 known moons. Dominating this Webb portrait of Neptune is a very bright point of light sporting the signature diffraction spikes seen in many of Webb’s images, but this is not a star. Rather, this is Neptune’s large and unusual moon, Triton.

Covered in a frozen sheen of condensed nitrogen, Triton reflects an average of 70 percent of the sunlight that hits it. It far outshines Neptune in this image because the planet’s atmosphere is darkened by methane absorption at these near-infrared wavelengths. Triton orbits Neptune in an unusual backward (retrograde) orbit, leading astronomers to speculate that this moon was originally a Kuiper belt object that was gravitationally captured by Neptune. Additional Webb studies of both Triton and Neptune are planned in the coming year”

It's grotesque to say the Black Panther party is equivalent to the police. Reminder for those who aren't familiar with the history here, the Black Panthers mission was to run social programs. The police entered Newton's home in the early morning and fired dozens of rounds at him - not because they felt threatened in any way, they set out to assassinate him for his politics.

If a bunch of white communists started carrying guns, filming the police in their communities, and providing school lunches, they absolutely wouldn't be assassinated in their homes like that. If you're uncomfortable that they carried guns - I certainly am - try to consider whether their lived experience was quite different than yours, and how you might behave if you were constantly surrounded by an armed and hostile police force, before the proliferation of smart phone cameras, who could and would murder you with impunity. They viewed their everyday lives as a survival situation, and they called their social programs "survival programs."
This makes sense. If the West goes down, who will China sell all their manufactured goods to?

Getty isn't alone in banning AI art, but they're doing it for different reasons than most.

Lots of art sites are currently being flooded by subpar AI generated garbage. If humans curate AI output and upload only that one-in-a-thousand good looking output, that is fine.

Instead we have bots uploading one image every few minutes, auto-generated from some randomly selected tags. Mostly the tags are wrong and the art should maybe instead be tagged such things as "grotesque" and "body-horror".

> There's a chance that Tether has been pumping BTC.

A chance? It's an absolute certainty.

Not only most exchanges have only a USDT:BTC pair and not a USD:BTC pair, but if you look at recent (~1.5 years) sudden spikes in BTC price, they correspond almost always to a new supply of USDT being released by Tether.

The only upward momentum Bitcoin has had since the last ATH has been due to Tether printing money, so it's safe to say that not only it's pumping it, but it's probably contributing 80%+ of its value.

If Tether dies, it's the end of cryptocurrency, period.
