The anecdote in TFA is wrong, about "coming to your house and seizing your DVDs". They won't come to your house; they will revoke the decryption keys and push the revocation to your Blu-Ray player, which will then fail to decrypt your BDs. They don't need to come to visit; they thought of that already.

And it's not just movies, it's also books and music. Many people "bought" MP3s or "buy" Kindle eBooks. Amazon has already shown that it is willing to delete Kindle content remotely [1]. And come on, this is Amazon. They are happy to censor on their own [2] and in collaboration with other companies [3].

Copyright is not just a "scam" anymore. It's a tool that is being used to shape what information is available to us. It's an enforcement mechanism for the "Overton Window".

> actually read these books AND found them useful ON THE JOB

I did read all three - it took me about three years to get through all three and (at least try to) work each exercise. Useful on the job? No, not really, but I can't think of a non-fiction book(s) I've enjoyed reading much more than these. All of the code examples are in assembler, and not just any assembler, his own imaginary assembler (but you can download a compiler and an emulator for it). I'd be hard-pressed to come up with anything that he covers here that's not already part of the standard library of any programming language you could possibly consider using - but it's still great reading, and illuminating in indirect ways.
Well if he buys it it's going to be the end of Twitter for me :)
Great overview, I think the part for me which is still very unintuitive is the denoising process.

If the diffusion process is removing noise by predicting a final image and comparing it to the current one, why can't we just jump to the final predicted image? Or is the point that because its an iterative process, each noise step results in a different "final image" prediction?

Pretty sure if you handcuffed somebody without their consent, regardless of what they were doing, you’d have to answer for it in court.

Cops are above the law. They are the violence arm of the local government.
Right, but none of them are doing anything like this. It would make sense if Applebees was doing something similar so you can do the comparison. Or if these chain Americano restaurants had a history of these types of actions so you can do that comparison. But neither of those things are true.

It's why I contrasted it with the Onion's headline about students fleeing school shootings getting detention. All the links to events are there to be made. The Applebees thing lacks those links. In this case Applebees is standing in for Twitter. Which is just a weird stand in. It would be funny if the headline was that MySpace was proactively banning Greene for blah blah blah. Because MySpace is also a social media company, but completely irrelevant, so it's funny because it's essentially "you can't fire me, I quit".
There's a sucker born every minute, and betting against human gullibility rarely works out well. You'd be amazed how many people can be taken in after a year or two, let alone longer time periods.
It would be a freak accident for sure. But then a beating that breaks the spinal cord and other bones should leave many other obvious marks.

And it doesn't sound like these were the only two cops there. I can see a wall of silence or a couple cops taking out another. But for random cops at a training exercise to sit there while one gets beaten to death seems to be quite a stretch.
Confessions have an important role in forgiveness, but given that, the public arena is never the right place for confessions; i.e., do you expect someone to say "Actually, I also hit on another employee last May." That would get you nailed to a cross and no lawyer would ever advise that except on the calculus of further damage control.
Printer paper is a good choice as well. Reams are quite sturdy and generally available in offices. You can titrate the height in very small steps if needed. And the stand is easy to reuse when it's no longer needed. Not as low cost as used cookbooks though.

I run a small business that sells supplies to restaurants and other small businesses. Everyone I deal with is busier than they've ever been with less help than they've ever had. Hardly anyone has been able to take a vacation for 3 years now. There's a multitude of things going on that are drastically different than 10 or 20 years ago. There's a schism being created in this world with the work from home crowd being one side, and the warehouse/foodservice crowd on the other side. The warehouse side has a huge demand, in part because of the pandemic, and also in part because of the work from home crowd not leaving their house as much. None of the restaurants can afford to pay what the warehouse jobs are paying. The number of people willing to work in the food industry is lower than I've ever seen it.
My company (as in "I work there," not "I own it") is I think unique in that it started as an Elixir/TypeScript shop, things went seriously downhill, they brought in a new engineering team (I'm on it), we switched to Clojure, and we're doing fine.

If I were to start a new company I'd absolutely run it on clojure. Even without frontend/backend code reuse, REPL-driven dev---paredit is the killer app for me. It just makes editing text files, which is what we're doing if we admit it, so much easier.

It's a data point.
You say nothing seriously false, but perhaps depending on things like NodeJS just inherently means your software is going to be poor quality. If that is true, then both you and the PP are probably right. I tend to think software quality will be higher if you depend on a third-party collection (such as so-called Linux distributions) than a second-party aggregation (such as NPM).
Hey, I work on OP's product, and just wanted to mention that reachability is not always about a function being called. Sometimes insecure behavior is triggered by setting options to a certain value[0]. Other times it's feasible to mark usages of an insecure function as safe when we know that the passed argument comes from a trusted source[1]. The Semgrep rules we write understand these nuances instead of just flagging function calls.

If some devices aren't required to have WiFi, then how do they effectively mesh with other devices? If I have a camera on the far side of my house, and then have a daisy chain of light switches back to my hub... the camera can communicate over zigbee/thread back to the hub to get low data instructions. and all the switches can get on/off commands.... but the camera has to communicate all the way back to the hub via WiFi. Which makes the WiFi not really a mesh, but a standard WiFi connect to the hub.

And I assume there is no way to make sure that the camera never connects to the internet without setting up firewall rules on my router. Because the announcement specifically calls out the ability for smart devices to phone home as a perk, I imagine blocking devices from phoning home isn't an option, and you have to assume that any device with WiFi will attempt to phone home even if it's not "smart".

If there was a way on hubs to have mobile phone like permissions. "This device can use local WiFi" and "This device can access the internet for Smart stuff" as separate permissions, I might be ok. But since most WiFi IoT devices are dumb and just punch a tunnel through your firewall so you can access them with a mobile app and wind up in botnets, I don't have a lot of faith in IoT companies to do it right, so until I can be assured (and verify myself) that WiFi doesn't mean "can phone home", theres no way in hell Im going to use Matter wifi devices.

The chess.com campaign continues. 100 games are nothing online, Carlsen/Firouzja play that in a single night. The headline is pure propaganda and omits the word "online".

In fact, the article tries to paint Niemann as a liar while the purported facts pretty much match what he admitted to. One cheating in a titled tournament at age 12 and multiple cheats at the beginning of 2020. He said he was 16, so he was barely 17 according to the article. That isn't a lie, that can easily happen in an interview.

If that is all that chess.com has, their behavior is extremely poor. Also, what about all those other cheating titled players who did not have the misfortune to win against multi-million asset Carlsen?

It is time for Europeans to send GDPR requests for cheating scores etc. and terminate their accounts. The risk is too great.

Yes, new.target was cited as a precedent for this decision. Even though new.target itself was such an ugly hack that the spec was specifically coded for new.target alone.

So import is:

- a keyword that can only exist at top level at the top of the file

- except when it looks like a function, but it's not a function and doesn't behave like one

- and it's also apparently and object because it has what looks like a property on it

IIRC there was a proposal for an Import (or was it System?) that would take care of things like import.meta etc., but it was deemed to complex. Instead we have import()
Lots of people in this discussion are misunderstanding what is happening here with this dynamic where men "finally have the courage to be vulnerable" but are then immediately seen as unattractive.

It's not the vulnerability itself that is the problem- it's that the vulnerability is revealing what is perceived as a huge character flaw: emotional weakness. When guys are admitting that they feel afraid, helpless, scared, etc. it's demonstrating that they are lacking strength, courage, and emotional maturity to deal with hardships constructively. They probably really are lacking these things, and the women didn't realize it before because they kept silent.

Ironically, vulnerability is actually one thing women find most attractive in men, as explained in Mark Manson's book models- it is really an impressive and attractive thing when done properly, it shows that you aren't afraid of the woman's rejection.

However, to be attractively vulnerable you also need to be strong, brave, and emotionally mature. You can't really fake this, it comes from hard work and life experience. It takes a lot of work and time for most people, and yes, crying over little things might be a valuable first step in being aware of your own emotions and starting to work on these issues.

What women are looking for in a vulnerable man, is a man that has overcome some really difficult stuff, and is tough and stable as nails in the face of adversity. He might be upset about something, and share that, but he also has a plan for what he is going to do about it. He isn't much afraid of her, or of sharing his inner feelings and challenges, because he has a lifelong habit of directly facing his fears in a courageous way with circumstances much more difficult.

I do share my inner challenges and feelings with my girlfriend, and she finds it attractive. I have also been through some really terrible shit in my life, and always have that in mind that the current challenge is tiny in comparison, and something that will make me even stronger once I overcome it. I also plan to fix the problem myself, and let her know that I have such a plan.

Vulnerability revels inner truths about a person. Are those truths about you attractive or unattractive? If your inner truths are unattractive is that her fault or yours?

I would assume that the things that lint could do you nowadays get by simply using -Wall -Wextra with gcc for example. While I haven't checked what a lint is required to do, but there have been plenty of situations in the past where I had to change my code in order to avoid triggering false positives from tests that run during normal compilation. For instance, there are tests that find accesses to potentially uninitialized variables.

EU is not trying to impose regulation or standardization on highly innovative areas of hardware or chipset design or software design or anything of that matter. They are imposing it for something that has largely been understood and comoditized (electric charging of phones via cable and data transfer using open communication protocol) where there is little room for getting any kind of competitive advantage or differentiation or some significant innovation. Speaking about hindrance of progress is largely far fetched and not based on reality. Things like this are really not blocking any meaningful progress but they indeed are largely abused by enterprises to push proprietary things to consumer so that it can be monetized and consumer locked in the vendor ecosystem.

You think twitter will get less insane after Musk buys it? It's not as if (say) Tesla has been all that insanity-free TBH.
The way I think of it, we have a 512x512x3 target, so that's 48x the information. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that far less than 1/48th of the space of 512x512x3 outputs are natural images (meaning an image that might actually exist, rather than meaningless pixels). So if we think about that 64x64x4 tensor as telling us what in the smaller space of natural images we should draw, it seems like plenty of information. Especially since we have the information stored weights of the output network also.
