IANAL but I think if they knew the statements were false (or with reckless disregard for the truth) then it would be slander. This is the "actual malice" standard. But in this case it seems absurdly unlikely that Niemann could prove this.
You're really pushing sodastream, huh?
This is an old, dead horse larger shops solved:

- Systems get messy unless you have configuration management that converges on top of ephemeral instances

- Build packages that work the same in all environments if possible

- Dev-prod parity: if that means running Docker locally or on some throw-away dev servers, do it

- 12factor principles

- Every business department has an API and shares the same or similar messaging and storage tech

- Change control: have high-available (HA) to where you're never upgrading individual machines and always backup/restore/replacing with fresh nodes

- Repeatable, precise, cached, incremental, distributed builds. Even if it means throwing out timestamps in the binaries

- Cache build artifacts forever (almost)

- Cryptographically sign commits and build artifacts (don't sign hashes because those are weaker)

- Canary, sharded deployments

- Rarely/never allow changes directly to boxes

- Require PRs made through configuration management

- Require PRs have to have another developer code review them

- Automate the heck out of linting and testing before it's generally allowed to drop in prod

- Store secrets either in conf mgmt or in a separate system like Vault

- Have SREs who know how things will end up in prod to troubleshoot the complexity and provide CI/CD and {I,P,Db,S}aaS

- Reduce the number of duplicated systems to a minimum but not to where it is too awkward or difficult to maintain

- Remember that prod, corp, and endpoints (phones and laptops) aren't the same but try to share bits as much as possible while isolating differences

- Corp tends to run more heterogeneous than prod. It's okay but don't let it get out-of-hand without having recommended (as opposed to mandated) standards except for security and third-party component review

- Eliminate technical debt: don't allow layers of crap or be precious about gross code just because it works

- Consider the risks and impact before making changes

- Have a backup/DR/BCP plan
Considering there's no authentication involved, they could theoretically link all of our names to them.
They’re still rising faster than any investment asset class, so inequality is shrinking.
Wow, thank you. That's a very interesting take.

You mention Popcorn time. I wonder if torrents in general could be a great example of how something like this plays out? Torrenting took the world by storm and had an amazing "product-market fit" for the early internet days. Of course, downloading copyrighted material was always illegal but that didn't stop many.

Over time, legal but paid alternatives rose up: Spotify, iTunes, Netflix. These players found their place in the market by balancing the interest of copyright holders and the needs of users looking for cheap and easy access to entertainment.

Just as Netflix acquired large content libraries, same here. With enough money, large training datasets could be acquired in a legally solid manner.

It's interesting to think where this analogy might fail as well, and how the paths of these technologies could differ. For one, torrenting was mostly for entertainment, and thus impacted B2C first. On the other hand, language models are more so for media _creation_ and the B2B sphere.

There’s a famous Bay Area town with no police dept, sizable population, somewhat wealthy, very low murder rate, amazing schools and no homelessness, and neither democrats or republicans have any meaning in local town politics.

Personally I don’t want to marry and lose half my worth, so a child is unlikely.

The courts are heavily biased towards women, and even the general public looks down upon a man alone with children.

I’ve spent time with a girlfriends kids and taken them out, got some nasty looks. Extremely unnerving.
I often recommend to beginning sky-watchers that they try looking at the night sky with a large pair of binoculars (look for large objective-lenses and not too much magnification) rather than a telescope.

Pregnancy presents a similar situation, and fetal microchimerism among parous women is not uncommon. This also includes, supposedly, brain tissue: https://www.science.org/content/article/bearing-sons-can-alt...
That is not remotely my experience. Someone made a similar comment a few weeks ago and related an experience where their car was stolen and the police refused to initiate a pursuit, which lead to a whole thread about whether it was some kind of new woke policing not to do high speed chases in dense urban areas (spoiler: no). I am more concerned about CPD going nuts if I call them than I am about them blowing me off.

I don't see how NSFW photos can easily be stopped from being generated, with the model being open source. Maybe the model could be heavily pre-filtered to remove any photos that could possibly be used for NSFW images.
I didn't see anybody mention arbitrary code execution

It did suggest a Sodastream which was pretty accurate, I already have one.
Most of my friends in Chicago had experienced thefts... in the mid-1990s. It's part of living in a big city, and of parking your car on the street or locking a bike up outside a business.

These years, I think you'd have a hard time finding many houses where I live in Chicagoland that haven't had a package theft. And, like, I don't like that package theft is a nearly risk-free crime? But it's very low on my list of public policy priorities.

> One solution to this is to have special vehicles to take emergency workers or doctors from their home to the hospital or where ever they need to be. It's also better than just them driving to the hospital. They don't need to worry about traffic and such

That doesn't solve the problem, which is OK, in that I don't expect people here to understand how being on call works.

Basically, it's like a leash centered on the hospital: You can be anywhere, as long as you can get to the hospital in a certain amount of time when you get called in. This roughly correlates with distance, but not entirely: When my dad was on call in a town with a railroad track running through it, he had to stay on the right side of the tracks because a long coal train would blow his response time. (It was a small town.) The point is, though, they aren't fixed at home when they're on call, and being fixed at home would destroy their lives. My dad had to be on call fully 50% of the time when he lived in aforesaid small town, because he was 50% of that town's total anesthesia providers.

Therefore, unless you propose a chauffeur, they will be driving their own vehicles while they're on call.

On a deeper level, changing how being on call works would require changing how small of a town people are allowed to live in. This seems like a common problem: People come up with something that they might be able to make work in New York City, and think they've Solved The Problem, blissfully unaware of St. Louis, let alone Du Quoin.

While they frame the post as if this is a positive and something they want to do, reading between the lines, it sounds to me like something has them rattled.

They mentioned regulators here, and I would be curious to hear the story behind that.

Don’t want to go too tin foil hat, but it makes you wonder if a certain other AI company that claims to be “open” may be afraid of a company that actually is open and is applying political pressure.

It’s like humans have evolved where children begs for easy calories. Adults feel guilty for depriving them, especially while consuming said calories.

That was my instant impression as well. Barnum effect all the way.
I agree that Democrats should focus on rural areas more. You have to win by the rules not complain about the game.

But you’re missing my point by ignoring coalitions to focus on parties.

Imagine a religion that is a mix of democrats and republicans. Imagine Saturday is a holy day for them where they try not to engage with the modern world as much.

If elections were only held on Saturday this would hurt their community.

This is why farm subsidies are plentiful for example, neither party wants to claw those back and face the consequences.

It’s also why social security is “the third rail of American politics”. Republican or democrat, no senior wants their checks messed with. And having elections on a Tuesday in November is a fine time for seniors and retirees to vote even if it sucks for other people.
I hope the recorder makes a comeback. It is a criminally-underused instrument like a vertical flute. Recorders can actually be played faster than flutes (as far as I have heard), and they are much more ergonomic.

Indeed, the tone quality from a solid silver Sankyo flute is absolutely distinguishable from the tone of a nickel Armstrong. I’m not sure that I buy the arguments for, say, gold lip plates, but there is an audible difference between silver and nickel.
What argument? You seem to be the only one here looking to pick some pointless fight.
I would if I could! Sometimes it's kind of funny - you see a few sets of ears poking out amongst the long grass of the road verge. A couple of beeps on the horn and suddenly a mob of wallabies emerges - and often hop straight across the road rather than back into the bush. That's the main use of the horn - to flush out the daft critters who may well otherwise jump straight into your path.
The US has the world's highest incarceration rate (and by some distance--it's about 10% higher than the second highest rate, El Salvador, and 300% higher than the highest rate among the EU countries), and Japan is around the 20th lowest.

This strongly suggests that incarceral policies are not the most effective solution to reducing crime.
The poor handling of the pandemic in many countries likely greatly increased the losses in those countries and also made it harder for other countries to get it under control. The tortfeasor would likely only be responsible for the losses that would have likely occurred if the pandemic had been handled competently.

A lot of countries would probably really not want to have the kind of public in-depth examination of their pandemic responses that would be necessary to figure damages.
My understanding is it was trained on this dataset: https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval/?back=https%3A%2F%2...

No, they're not new. They've been tried many times. Peter Cooper Village in Manhattan has "superblocks".[1] That might be the first large development like this. The units near roads, not the ones facing the green spaces, are considered more desirable.

And that's in Manhattan, which has really good public transportation.

Cops know they'll get 50%+ of muncipal budgets whether they stop petty crime or not.

The most important function cops serve is enforcing property restrictions. Someone might be able to walk out with $10 of items from a shelf, but they certainly aren't able to seize the business and do what they want with it. That's how SWAT teams show up and shoot you. I doubt Walmart wants to invest in a standing army, tanks, automatic weapons, seige weapons, etc.
I believe their main reasoning for not supporting AV1 would be the lack of hardware decoding on their chips.

I doubt it.

Apple Silicon is more than fast enough to decode AV1 in software. Sure, the battery life won’t be as good but there are other trade-offs that can be made.

Their latest chips were developed before AV1 had gained enough traction to be concerned about. I suspect that future M2 and M3 and A-series SoCs will have hardware decoding for AV1 built-in.

In the meanwhile, a future version of macOS Ventura and iOS 16 will have AV1 support; it’s just going to take a little longer. They probably want to roll it out simultaneously on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and iPadOS.
Zoonotic spillover is likely increasing in China due to climate change, more human-animal contact and animal farming, it probably has a large "determinstic" background.

Of course if you go down that rabbithole then you might wind up concluding that the vegans have been right all along, which certain groups might find an unpalatable result.
Any judge worth their salt would prohibit or censor witness testimony making conclusory statements, especially based on circumstantial evidence. This is Evidence 101. Everybody knows the so-called "hearsay" rule, but almost every rule in evidence revolves around one core precept--no evidence is per se conclusive, and the function of testimony of any sort isn't to submit conclusions to the question at issue.

But implying conclusions is exactly what both the defense and prosecutor are working at; they're constantly playing word games, and some judges would certainly be better than others at seeing through the B.S.
