I think things like this are great, but you have to keep in mind WHAT they are good for. This is NOT going to teach you Rust. What it is going to do is very quickly get you familiar with the ecosystem and relate it to something you know already. This can be helpful as you are learning to help you feel less inundated by all the new concepts and crates. It also will give you a quick and dirty on how a basic concept maps between what you know (Python) and what you don't yet (Rust). In no way does this take the place of a good tutorial or book on Rust for learning the language, but instead I would equate this more with a reference book which you use for targeted inquiries, not ground up learning.
I 100% agree the crime is serious and the perpetrator should meet swift justice -- as should anyone interfering with our elections. Including those who accessed voting machines in Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.[1][2]

That said I sincerely hope we have not regressed as a civilizatoin that public execution is making a comeback.

You can collect stats behind the scenes, without using JS-powered analytics or embedded statistics pixels with GoAccess[0].

This isn't a violation of privacy since you have the right to inspect the logs of your own server(s). Analytics like Google Analytics, etc are not privacy champions and use that data to feed into their AD business.

There is also AWStats which is pre-bundled with cPanel. The only caveat is that 30% of the traffic monitored is likely bots, scrapers, or otherwise malicious actors.

Working for WaPo is a bigger red flag in my eyes.
I wrote a little reply on that[1]. I don't think that a tool is ever to blame. Sure, some tools suck and can be a source of distraction. But human beings need tools to capture creativity and transport them into real life.

And almost all - but not the BBC - had at least one belonging to Google, meaning Google is receiving anonymised information about users visiting those pages.

BBC.com and BBC.co.uk both run google ads via DoubleClick and thus have Google trackers.
I could go either way on making it optional. I try to avoid configuration complexity and the log format is a piece of complexity that can be removed from your application with post-processing.

For example, I wrote opinionated-server which lets you pick text or JSON logging. Even though it has text logging, when I'm developing a server locally, I just pipe the JSON through jlog because I have super-refined that format to my personal tastes, whereas zap's builtin text format isn't as nice.

But I will say that when I create loggers for unit tests, I use the text formatter if one is available. I have never been interested in parsing JSON logs interspersed among plain text (though it is totally very possible to do).

Unfortunately it’s still better than no other factor especially for most people.
The amount of anti nuclear from a few accounts in this thread is weird and reeks of weird concern trolling.
I wish you could apply it to specific area codes. The area code of my phone number is not an area I have lived in for several years now. 98% of my spam calls are from this area code but none of the important unknown callers are calling from this area code.
I gave up - family of 5, but I do the following: my iPhone auto-silences unknown callers (system setting) and I only share my Google Voice account publicly (ie, only friends/family have my direct line). I also have scam-block from my carrier.

It seems to work quite well. I miss an occasional call but have progressively whitelisted (add as contacts) all numbers from school/doc/programs as well.

It does take some diligence but it feels better than getting sideswiped by some rando.
But do you know of any country where getting legislation like this passed would be straightforward and apolitical? It's not that the can't do it, it's that it would be difficult to do and would require expenditure of political capital.

If a majority government came to power and had this as a major part of their platform I suspect they'd try to get legislation passed, but any other government is not going to expend as much effort on it as would be needed to get it through.
> Renewables have yet to demonstrate the ability to replace fossil fuels in any meaningful way. They seem to top out at 10-20% of the energy mix.

Denmark has reportedly reached 53.3% of electricity consumption with wind and solar.

"The first half of 2022 has been a record-breaking period for green energy production in Denmark. Danish windmills and solar panels produced 10,9 TWh in the first six months of the year – a significant 12% increase from the previous record from 2020. Another all-time high, the fraction of wind and solar power in the total electricity consumption was 53,3%."

https://stateofgreen.com/en/news/green-danish-energy-product...

> France achieved net 0 many decades ago because they went all in with nuclear whereas their neighbors that went with renewables haven’t gotten anywhere close to that.

Unfortunately even France no longer seems able to build new nuclear generation capacity at a reasonable cost. While wind, solar, and batteries get ever cheaper, nuclear has gotten more expensive over time.

For what it's worth I used to agree with you that Nuclear seemed the only viable way forward, after reading https://www.withouthotair.com. However much has changed over the past 14 years since it was published.
In my opinion, this will unfold in multiple ways:

* Productivity enhancement tools for those in the film industry like you.

* Applications where the AI output is "good enough". I foresee people creating cool illustrations, cartoons, videos for short stories, etc. AI will make for easier/cheaper access to illustrations for people who did not have this earlier. As an example, I am as of now looking for someone who could draw some technical diagrams for my presentation.
Again, reducing demand only reduces prices if there is enough supply. If the demand already exceeded supply, then changes in demand don't do anything to price unless and until demand once again drops below supply.

Not to mention, if you think companies use all their funds every year, you're again using a very bizarre economic model. Companies often accrue money as cash savings to be used at later dates, taking it out of the economy until then.
Is it covered in the onboarding docs for that feature (a disable for routes used by bots (rss feeds, api endpoints etc) )? Or is it just happy path "Do these 3 steps to make your Wordpress cake blog safe from botnets"
I play wow
Before sprints there was waterfall scheduling at the project level: requirements, design, development, testing, delivery, and maintenance. Often tasks would be late and delays would propagate resulting in the old adage for estimating how long a software project would take: think of a an amount of time it should take, then to get the actual time, double the number and then change the unit to the next longer time unit.
Any entity with $1,000,000 in cash is making a calculated risk play. They could easily put that cash into gold, bonds, stocks, etc. They are betting on cash inspire of the inflation.

Any person with $1,000 is living paycheck to paycheck and has no choice but to keep it in cash (if they can keep it at all).

So really you have to compare $1,000,000 in bonds/averaged stock performance to $1,000 of income per month.

The latter is far more impacted as the cost of gas and food increases 10%.
I think the point the parent was making was there is no current law that affords death as a punishment for this crime - but there should be. Or at least that is my take.
I wonder whether this will improve the manufacturing defects[1] present on all of the 5 pairs of AirPods I've purchased so far, and every other person's AirPods I've seen. You'd figure they could have robots epoxy the pieces together accurately.

Canonical log lines don't solve the exact same problem (they provide all the information for some api call in a single place), but they need to be structured to work.

I think it is more of a consumerism crisis than a capitalism crisis. Like you said people need meaningful connections in their lives. This largely comes from interactions with your community. The average American watches 20 plus hours of television a week. I don't know how much doom scrolling and solitary gaming adds on top of this.

Imagine how much happier they would be if they spent this time building and maintaining relationships with other human beings.

If you look at the numbers for how many hours a week people work, they haven't really changed much over time. I think the big change is how people are spending their free time
I've had a quick look over your posts, and I will look over the more carefully as a refresher on these kinds of things (I have looked at Hoare logic which this resembles, and a couple of other related things). The problem is to me, the formal semantics aren't actually very different from what you would write in English, and the real problem, and this is never addressed, how do I use this (which includes: how do I manipulate these things symbolically to some useful end)? The reason I don't get more deeply stuck into these formal semantics is because they seem to have no way for me to actually do anything useful with them. This lack of a 'bridge' is a huge problem to me because I can't justify learning that which appears of no use.

Any comments appreciated, and don't be put off by the negative tone of this, it's just frustration.
Extremely helpful. Thanks for the tips!
Containers are marketing slang for operating-system virtualization.

>the lack of isolation is what enables composibility of containers

Oh really? So containers are not isolated to each other...that's some news...bad ones ;)

BTW are you from a marketing department? ....composibility....stop with that stinking shit please.
I just didn’t worry about it. I’ve got default nginx logging turned on for dynamic things, and S3 bucket logs / CloudFront logs for static sites. I use Google Analytics for some sites and GoatCounter for others.

If that turns out to be horrible, I guess I’ll end up strung up by my thumbs in a European jail? But given all the other things to spend my time on, I’ve just accepted that risk.

I think I’ve also been convinced over time that comment fields on blogs aren’t worth it generally. If there’s meaningful conversations to be had, they’ll happen on platforms where readers link to your content.
What really fascinates me here is the movement of animals.

There's this one video of a cat and a dog, and the model was really able to capture the way that they move, their body language, their mood and personality even.

Somehow this model, which is really just a series of zeroes and ones, encodes "cat" and "dog" so well that it almost feels like you're looking at a real, living organism.

What if instead of images and videos they make the output interactive? So you can send prompts like "pet the cat" and "throw the dog a ball"? Or maybe talk to it instead?

What if this tech gets so good, that eventually you could interact with a "person" that's indistinguishable from the real thing?

The path to AGI is probably very different than generating videos. But I wonder...
I agree with the first part but not the second. Up until recently (when a lot of their nuclear went offline) they were one of the lowest emitters in Europe. They were comparable to Sweden and Iceland, which have substantially smaller (and more centralized) populations. I'll agree that thinking nuclear will get us all the way to net zero energy emissions is silly, but let's not undermine the great accomplishments France has made. They have been leagues ahead of the rest of Europe. Even at significantly reduced capacity they are still one of the lowest emitters.

I think that spinning up a separate process is the only real way to properly contain a large C++ library wrt memory (un)safety. It can still be useful to wrap in Rust though, since it is more pleasant to write IPC code in Rust compared to C++.

Not the person you're replying to but pumped hydro is the most primitive I know of.

Also: why must the highly variable renewables share the grid with highly variable demand, use them to make hydrogen (only when the sun is shining/wind is blowing), feed that into a totally separate power plant, simple to manage - if renewables really get cheap who cares if it's inefficient.

All this stuff makes me incredibly anxious about the future of art and artists. It can already very difficult to make a living and tons of artists are horrifically exploited by content mills and vfx shops and stuff like this is just going to devalue their work even more
Shocked, this is just insane.
> What's the difference between a human artist walking around in the world, seeing images and videos (many of which are under copyright) and then using those images as inspiration, versus an AI being fed millions of images and videos as part of a large training set?

What's the difference between retelling someone's story orally, and using a printing press to make an exact replica?

What's the difference between writing down a conversation from memory, and recording that conversation?

What's the difference between making a nude painting of someone, and taking a nude photograph?

What's the difference between going out in public among human beings, and going out in public where there's a facial recognition camera on every corner feeding everyone's movements into a centralized database?

What's the difference between the grandma who knows everyone in the village, vs the social media company that knows everyone in the world?

Social customs evolved in a context of fundamental, sharp limits to human cognition and skill. When technology smashes through those limits, those social customs don't work anymore. Copyright law didn't exist in a world where you couldn't copy things mechanically. If you apply the old rules naively, you end up with a nasty world that nobody wants. So we have to invent new rules to limit how people use the new technology, otherwise people get exploited and life becomes intolerable.

"What does copyright law say about this" doesn't even make sense as a question. Copyright was invented before AI was. The question should be, "what would a society someone would want to live in, say about this?"

The information is so limited it's impossible to ascertain what even exploded, speculation is easy, ie: could have been a portable screen and had a lithium battery that exploded, was struck by debris after another object exploded etc. Haven't checked other sources for validity or updates.
I think lambdas and everything around them except the streams API is pretty good, but the streams API is pants. It adds a lot of overhead but doesn’t take advantage of the global view of the processing pipeline it has.

I wrote my own competitor at

http://gihub.com/paulhoule/pidove/

which looks lispy because it uses static imports for everything. I started on a fluent syntax version but wound up working on another project. The odd thing is that I wound up studying the streams API in enough detail that I got over many of the complaints I had about it. If I was going to put more work into pidove it would be developing it to make the most of the Collections API so if you, say, map a list, it returns a list that lets you get(7) to only map that item.
From some reading I have done online I gather that just the act of logging IP addresses to my server's disk requires some legal safety nets such as a privacy statement that says what will be done with that data. Sounds like too much work for running a simple personal website.
No doubt that if apple suddenly and without warning closed shop tomorrow, never made another ianything, and pulled the plug on every last one of their services the world would keep on turning and neither the US or China would collapse. It wouldn't be pretty, a lot of people would lose money, but we'd survive and move on.
News outlets calling it a "mental health crisis" is just sleigh-of-hand, obscuring the root causes. It's natural to feel more stressed, anxious, or depressed if you're losing hope in life due to inflation, lagging pay, expensive healthcare, sky-high real estate costs, etc. Not to mention the general greedy nickel-and-diming that is present from most corporations, hedge funds, investors -- all of these small cuts and bruises add up to a very wounded animal.

I recently read a NYT opinion piece that very eloquently laid out this idea: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/20/opinion/us-mental-health-...

Btw one favorite quote from that NYT article:

> If someone is driving through a crowd, running people over, the smart move is not to declare an epidemic of people suffering from Got Run Over by a Car Syndrome and go searching for the underlying biological mechanism that must be causing it. You have to treat the very real suffering that is happening in the bodies of the people affected, obviously, but the key point is this: You’re going to have to stop the guy running over people with the car.
> To be clear, I still have access to the email address in question and could certainly retrieve any recovery code they send there. They don't offer that option though. Phone or nothing.

My interpretation was that they do have a backup email address registered.
The last-mile problem applies here too. GPT-3 text is convincing at a distance but when you look closely there is no coherence, no real understanding of plot or emotional dynamics or really anything. TV shows and movies are filled with plot holes and bad writing but it's not that bad.

Also I think "a good algorithm" is more than just repetitive content. The plots are reused and generic, but there's real skill involved into figuring out the next series to reuse with a generic plot which is still guaranteed not to flop because nobody actually wants to see reruns of that series or they accidentally screwed up a major plot point.
Myths about extreme weather, refuted
I understand the sentiment but the phrasing might be a bit confusing or too general.
Reading the announcement, the threats sound like a stretch of the FCC's mandate. Do they really have the authority to remove carriers from the phone network? I'm sure that would be challenged up to the supreme court.
I agree the ethicist types are very lame but if they were trying to be opaque and obscure how the sausage is made I don't think they would have released as many AI papers they have over past decade. It also seems to me that imagen is way better than stable diffusion. They're not aiming for a product that caters to AI creatives. They aiming for tools that would benefit a 3B+ userbase.
So, what is the correct term then: "Intel 64" or "AMD64"? That's what the CPU manufacturers call their specification of that architecture right now. Intel used to call it "IA-32e". AMD called it "x86-64" before they've released it, but then switched to "AMD64". All of those are "marketing names" used (or no longer used) by the manufacturers. How should we pick the correct one? Is there even a correct one?
DeepMind’s game-playing AI has beaten a 50-year-old record in computer science

Instead of getting attached to semantics, how about looking at it from the perspective of business and economics?

If your business depends on the idea that Big Tech can not track you, you need to do whatever it takes to keep it a reality. The cost of supporting a fork of Chromium might be too much when you are starting out, but when you are already a company of 100+ employees and 60M+ MAU, it becomes acceptable.

So, yes, if I had to guess with the information currently available, I'd say that Brave will keep away from v2 as long as it possible and as long ad the user base shows that this is what they want from their browser.
Ah, I see. I thought you were trying to say the Fed directly paid interest to the Treasury.

And, wow, I did not know the IORB rate had gotten so high.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/BOGMBBM

I think you are correct. With $3+ trillion in reserve balances, which aren't really expected to go down too much, the reserve interest payments are going to eat up a ton of the Fed's income.
Air filtering is partially helped by the fact that most people nowadays have some supply of good masks, which can ensure that any radioactive dust stays outside of you instead of giving you lung cancer.
STIR/SHAKEN is already in effect for 99% of people. That's what this order is about. These seven small VoIP companies are the only ones who haven't implemented it. (Presumably, their whole raison d'être is for spammers.) Those seven companies are currently providing service for all remaining spoofers, so they have two weeks to fix it or they're done.
Adapt, it's what humans excel at.

Instead of feeling threatened by the new tools, think about how you can use them to enable your work.

One of the ironies* of these tools is that they only work because there is so much existing material they can be trained on. Absent that they wouldn't exist. That makes me think: why not think about how to train your own models than entail your own style? Is that practical, how can you make it work and how might you deploy that in your own work?

Something that everyone is sticking their heads in their sand about is the real possibility that training models on copyrighted work is a copyright violation. I can't see how such a mechanical transformation of others' work is anything but. People accept violating one person's copyright is a thing but if you do it at scale it somehow isn't.

* ironic because they seem creative but they create nothing by themselves, they merely "repackage" other people's creativity.
