Video is more effective than text, because people think they've seen whatever event and formed their own conclusions. Those are much stronger than just being told what happened.
which will lead to people trusting forensic experts and corroborating data/witnesses. If you were a Karen caught in an embarrassing public meltdown you could absolutely say that the video was deepfaked and you were really just home alone sleeping at the time, but when 7 different people's cell phone videos, multiple security cameras, two dashcams, 14 ring cams, GPS data captured from your mobile device, and one police surveillance drone all agree it was you that's not going to work out so well.

People made the same arguments about photoshop, but it's really not a problem. Almost never is a single video the only evidence of anything and in the cases where it is and that video can't be verified it's probably best not to ruin someone's life over it.

You can use the code in https://github.com/krea-ai/prompt-search to do so. You first want to compute the CLIP embeddings of each prompt, index them using something like K-Nearest Neighbors (so you can get search for similarities fast), and then, given an input prompt, you will be able to find other indexed prompts that share their semantics.
"Open source" and "closed source" are not the only options. There are plenty of products out there where you're technically allowed to look at the source code, but very restricted in how you can legally use it. The "open" in "open source" is generally understood to mean that users have permission to use, modify and redistribute the software. (Without that permission, calling it "freeware", "shared source" or "source available" would be more accurate.)

That's what "free as in beer" means -- it's a well-established phrase meaning "zero monetary cost": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre

In the case of the non-Apache-licensed version of TimescaleDB, you're allowed to use the software without payment, and you can distribute unmodified copies. But you're essentially forbidden from letting users define their own schemas, or from modifying it or reusing components unless your modified version imposes that same restriction. (The exception is if you agree to transfer ownership of your changes back to Timescale.)

Nobody's saying that Timescale can't build a non-open-source database, only that they should be clear about which parts are actually open. In my opinion, describing it on the homepage as an "open-source relational database" and then promoting it by benchmarking the proprietary version is at least a little bit misleading.
You're presenting a counterfactual, that if schools were opened, everything would have been fine and it would have been business as usual. The point is that when teachers are dying and out sick, and the school is running on a skeleton crew, schooling by definition couldn't be business as usual. Who teaches the classes when teachers are out and there are no subs? Who drives the kids to school when there is a shortage of bus drivers? Who keeps them safe when there aren't enough eyes to supervise? These issues were completely sidestepped by the "open schools" advocates, as if they were just minor implementation details and not showstopping complications.

I've found that people who are not teachers and who have no idea what it's like to run a school are very quick to pass judgement when it comes to this issue. Usually digging a little deeper it's very easy to find this quickness to blame stems from various political viewpoints rather than any expertise or knowledge about the situation on the ground. Most people I've found blaming teachers like this don't even have any kids in school.

Anyway, teachers are the ones on the front line right now trying to fix the problems that children face today due to the pandemic, so please spare me your moralizing about how teachers are abusers and conspired to inflict collective punishment on children. What are you doing to fix the problems?
Post Snowden, I imagine many have went dark and used Tor exclusively. Not that Tor is a magic bullet, but it makes many of these data mining operations pointless. I know for sure NSA run exit nodes, but although crypto won't save you, properly implemented crypto will save you. This article mainly applies to the other 90% who are not encrypting their comms.

My sibling has the super details, but at a high level:

Rust lets you have generic types on structs and functions:

// T is a generic type parameter, x has type T
fn foo<T>(x: T) -> {

Rust also lets you have "associated types":

trait MyIterator {
type Item;

fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item>;
}

struct Alternate {
state: i32,
}

impl MyIterator for Alternate {
// because we choose the Item type here...
type Item = i32;

// that determines the type that gets returned down here
fn next(&mut self) -> Option<Self::Item> {

In today's Rust, `type Item` cannot be a generic type:

// lifetimes are generics, so if you try this...
trait MyIterator {
type Item<'a>;

// you'll get this error message
error[E0658]: generic associated types are unstable

In the near future, combining these two features will be allowed.

I'm a former journalist, and I'd like to touch on some of the comments about how this article reads like a dubious infomercial, with a lot of outsized claims that are setting off people's B.S. detectors.

They set off mine, as well.

But you have to remember that this is not a news article. It is not written by someone with any degree of expertise in the subject matter. Rather, it's written by a member of the media-relations department at the university. The only source for the piece appears to be Marc Hamilton, a professor at the university.

So what you're likely perceiving is the author trying to hype up something that is inherently pretty boring and technical, and it comes off as B.S.
I'm reminded of those under desk fitness bikes.
Appreciate the feedback. Whether or not a model’s summary represents the underlying text is absolutely something we all have to pay careful attention to as these things improve. One thing we’ve seen work well is systems that always link back to the source so you can see the content that underlied the synthesis. Not a full solution, but important to keep that provanance.

I'll update the UI so the reader can listen to each chapter by themselves and add a disclaimer that these summaries are AI generated and may lack context or be false.

I'm pretty sure bailouts/other support the banking sector received dwarf any fines they got for breaking the law.

Banks going bankrupt is their own fault entirely. It's a "you had one job" kind of thing.

If you want to find someone who is bad at managing your money and somehow breaks the law at the same time, a bank is apparently your best bet.
The last time I saw it enforced, it was for a MUCH more material change of the title.

Because Apple paid for all that integration. Google essentially vassalised companies by using the immense money they make from Search to wipe out a market of Phone-OS developers forcing companies to use Android.

Kinda like how Uber was forced to accept they were an employer because they dictated work hours to drivers. Google is being forced to accept they have the potential to be a monopoly, and have abused that.

There's a difference between doing science, and going on a press tour to push a viewpoint, though. I don't think actual science was ever being suppressed.

If covid was killing 40% of people instead of 1% of people, would we still want to spend 3 years figuring out, on spreadsheets, whether it was really merited based on long-term scientific studies?

And if we decided that we should do some things for public health in the very short term, should we humor every crackpot who wants us to wait?
If its something read in a post on the internet then its usually easy enough to find by typing the parts you remember into google. But I agree, I have occasionally wished that youtube made the closed captions of youtube videos searchable for this reason.

We have been gamified. But then again spending 6 hours a day reading celebrity magazines to r watching daytime TV will equally rot our sense of balance.

We some how think this would be six hours replaced with "improving our minds", visiting museums and working on our calculus or oil painting.

Stuck stepper. Bet it was a Seagate ST225 or similar. The bearing grease would harden, especially if left not running for a while.

The solution is to use your pinky finger on the stepper motor spindle and twist. As long as you felt the stepper move from home, you’re good, you’re not stuck anymore.

I had a Seagate I had to “twist” start every time it powered up, not often as it ran 24/7. You can do it with the drive in the machine as long as you can reach the stepper.

I’m writing this not so much for you but for the archivists thousands of years from now. Hope you get those Seagates started folks! ;)

In a sense, Ronald Regan was not real. All of his speeches were written by someone else, and he relied heavily on advisors. He was a figurehead for his administration to a greater extent than most presidents before and after. He was one of the few presidents that may have actually been innocent of the bad stuff that went on in the white house during his presidency (Iran-Contra), because he never showed any indication of really understanding it the way Nixon understood Watergate or LBJ understood Vietnam.

If you enjoy thinking about how the future of this field might look like, I highly recommend watching the interview between Yannic Kilcher and Sebastian Risi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xpGve9QEE).

I was mind-blown after hearing it. It was a long time since I didn't hear such an interesting conversation. It's crazy how Risi's ideas correlate so well with the way how complex systems emerge in nature (optimizing locally), and the idea of self-organizing systems is just amazing.

So, there are four things which might get colloquially called "Brackets", they each have other names but...

(Round) brackets are Parentheses

{Curly} brackets are Braces

<Angle> brackets are Chevrons

[Square] brackets are often just Brackets

Ah, so there's the problem. Now, this actually also differs depending on English variant. In England it would be pretty normal to say "Brackets" and mean Parentheses, whereas in the US you'd mean the square brackets. Some English speakers outside the US might call the Square Brackets "Crotchets" to distinguish them, not so many. US English dominates in technology.
Startup valuations can be a tricky business. Just take a look at Flow, a real estate company that's still in its early stages. Despite not even being built yet, it was valued by investors at over $1B - and the founder, Adam Neumann, is far from an upstanding citizen.
I once subscribed to a paper magazine. But since like the second month, I found I never read it, barely have time for it. Those paper just goes straight to the trash.

Interesting. I wonder if this metabolic response is very important to human long-distance running capability or if it's just one small optimization among many?

Very likely it's not the professor hyping it, but the uni communications office. This reads like a typical uni press release. The scientists typically have little influence on it, they typically read the text that there is no factual errors, but they also leave it to the subject experts (the journalists/communicators) to write the text.
> the stance towards dynamic libraries that Go has

Under the limitation of "no dynamic loading anywhere ever", Caddy has indeed made it exceptionally easy (with xcaddy and their web builder) to compile with modules, but this doesn't excuse the fact that their purely philosophical stance is making the job of sysadmins harder. I've heard decent arguments against dynamic libraries (although IMO they still didn't outweigh the downsides of static linking), but never against dynamic loading in general.

Is there a good explanation of this stance anywhere? I haven't spent too much time looking, I'll admit, but if you're breaking decades of common practice, you better put that explanation front and center.

> having a node that compiles static versions of it for your specific use is not too much of a change from repackaging a docker container with your specific configuration of nginx

Sure, but a custom Docker container isn't the baseline for ease of use, `apt-get install [module] && a2enmod [module]` is.
Sigh, it's never enough for some people.

If the amount of the fine would deal a fatal or nearly fatal blow to the company, they'll simply exit the market and not pay. It's a balancing act.

> This has been especially true for the last century when it comes to the environment

This picture is from 99 years ago in Ukraine. It shows the effect of inefficient agriculture and the harm done by dogmatic socialism in the most fertile part of Europe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921%E2%80%931923_famine_in_Uk...

Millions were starving to death, and Ukraine was not an exception. In most of the world, periods of hunger and starvation was quite normal.

This graph shows the percentage of the world population living in extreme poverty, from 1820 to 2015:

https://ourworldindata.org/exports/world-population-in-extre...

The graph starts at around 90% of the world living in extreme poverty, and is down to less than 10% by 2015.

To a large extent, this development was made possible by fossil fuels.

> But people dying sucks hard, we’re all fighting fiercely over what is the lesser of two bad outcomes.

True, and I was all for lockdowns during the early stages, and later on still happy about them for more personal reasons (I'm obese, and I like working from home).

But for some groups, the costs were really high, not just economically. For children, students and many single young people, 1-3 years of isoloation can carry a huge toll socially, psychologically and academically. When I mentioned that to elderly people I know around that time (that were afraid for their lives), they did not show much empathy for those young people who were forced into isolation for the protection of the elderly and obese.

Federalism.

To color the situation a bit without presuming too much. Should the whole country shut down because DC, NY, and LA are reaching dangerous levels of hospital burden? I suspect the whole country took on the measures needed in denser areas, but I speculate that it looked draconian there since the spread was delayed by a year before it really hit a quorum in some central states[0]. It's a political argument because they can contend it would have been handled better by local, county, state officials.

We got incredibly lucky that things didn’t escalate to violence....

That's quite the leap, and frankly reads as self-affirming speculation (e.g. I was right, and the proof is in this fantasy).
