Never understood why people use it seems to be too risky.

You can end up sharing an account with someone associated with some unsavory activity and end up having to explain it.

Plus many sites allow users to view their login and download activity logs which means your private information can leak that way.

Sure VPNs and TORs can help mitigate some of that risk but BMN isn’t for opsec it’s for continence if you already are taking extra steps for opsec you might as well use disposable email addresses for your disposable accounts.
Yeap. Sendy[1] costs USD 69 (one-payment purchase) and sending messages via AWS is peanuts. It's a far cry from Substack's polish, but it works great with some HTML/CSS knowledge.

The problem will arise when those two handfuls of creators leave or aren't enough.

some identities are not directly yours to control, but are roles assigned to you by your membership in a group.

Employment, for example.

Luckily good orgs use directories to manage membership (LDAP, etc).

PHP has some benefits to its design that the vast majority of other languages don’t — deployment is as simple as “stick a .php file on in your website folder”, hitting the “refresh” button gets you the latest code with no “build” or “restart server” step, it’s all stateless shared-nothing so you won’t have data from one request changing the behaviour of another request, etc.

But the implementation has a lot of drawbacks - the language is painful, typing is bolted-on and still incomplete after years of work (eg there are no typed arrays), the standard library is an inconsistent mess thanks to its origins of “take several other language’s standard libraries and duct-tape them together”, etc.
PiMiga 3.0 Preview
The reports of S-300 being used to target land targets originated from the same sources saying that a fragment found is from a S-300 missile. It's people on Twitter and Telegram, some of them "analysts" or people that seem to have sources in the different militaries (at least the ones that are usually right about what they say). I'm not saying that they are credible sources, but it's not like the picture of the S-300 fragment was released by an official source. We should keep this in mind when deciding what to (or not to) believe.

I think it's a mistake to assume they wouldn't use S-300 because of its cost. It also doesn't make any sense to use expensive missiles to hit kid playgrounds, but it happened before Russia had cheap swarms of Iranian drones. It doesn't make sense to launch salvos of not very precise rockets from helicopters, but that's exactly what both sides are doing for close-ish combat support. Point is, and without knowing for sure if Russia is using S-300 for land targets or not, both sides have used expensive weapons even when it didn't make sense financially.

On a side note, many of today's strikes seem to have used Kh-101 (edit: I meant to write 3M-54, not Kh-101) cruise missiles, which are not cheap ( https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/yw737b/the_m... ). They're using expensive stuff too, not just "cheaper-to-produce missiles".

Regarding the damage from S-300 systems, yes, I've seen videos from Ukraine and Russia (Belgorod) where air defence damages some stuff. I agree that it's possible that what hit Poland was an Ukrainian S-300 or a mix of a Russian missile/drone and Ukrainian S-300. And yes, it could be a Russian missile too... even if it was not done on purpose, shit happens sometimes.

I'm not a weapons expert or have special sources, so this is where I'll leave the thread. I just wanted to point out that the "running out of missiles" narrative was about other weapon systems, not about S-300s, of which they probably still have lots because it was an important part of the Soviet Union air defence.
Very likely. I am in the west coast of Florida, and storms can really shift things around quite a bit. Passages between some of the small islands can open or close after a decent storm. Sandbars come and go, etc.

The waters tend to be a little deeper on the east coast, which would tend to lessen the effects of large shifts, but over a timespan of nearly 40 years it is very likely the piece had been covered over at some point.
Oh, I joined the union back when I was a gamedev precisely because some employees (of the company's subsidiary, to be clear on this matter) were not granted a paid vacation nor remote work in spite of a heavy flood that almost paralyzed the entire region. When you are not unionized someone will get hurt.

Only if you live in the city, and sometimes "the city" is 45,000 people total. Sometimes it is smaller. Construction places exist lots of places.

You don't just get to go to new places just because you are a construction worker. I think you might be viewing it through a somewhat romantic lens.
What do you propose should be done when unions themselves acquire enough power and influence to begin to act in a tyrannical manner?

We've seen this happen with public sector unions in various places, for example.

Despite the employees having quite safe and comfortable working conditions, despite them being quite well compensated, and despite them even being able to have some input (via voting) over who their bosses are, it's not uncommon for these sorts of unions to impose varying degrees of disruption just to try to get even more money or benefits out of already over-taxed societies.

These sorts of unions and their members never seem to care much about the negative effects that public transit, public education, and other artificial work disruptions/shutdowns may have on society at large.

It does not sound like a realistic capacity plan. The reason this works in the cloud is the inference can be run in parallel on a huge amount of hardware for a short time. To run those kind of models on your rinkydink computer would take forever.

This goes beyond the governor being part of the elite and thus more likely to be protected by the law than an average citizen (unfortunately the case in the US).

Attacking high public officials functionally is equivalent to attacking the state itself.

Of course a government is going to punish people who attack it more harshly than those who do not. To do otherwise is to give a green light to anarchy and future attacks on the government.

Unless you know and are practised at shorthand, most people type much much faster than they write by longhand --- even a fairly slow typist can do about 30-40 wpm vs writing is something like 30-40 characters per minute.

Virtually all companies are struggling with the crisis. A ton of them are going under. It is only logical tech has a similar issue.

Rewrites are more fun than solving user problems
I'm sure they are good jobs, but if they need enterprise skills I don't have or if they don't meet my essential requirements, then it's not worth it for me to apply. I expect enterprise employers are less forgiving to candidates than smaller employers, not more.
That argument works better if 1 user = 1 domain rather the mastodon model where users are under a random domain they have no control of.

In a world of increased fiscal uncertainty having cash-on-hand makes a huge difference in being able to weather storms. We are literally weathering international warfare in Europe, a pandemic, and uncertainty whether we are heading to a period of inflation or recession [both?].

While minimizing your cash position is smart as a hedge against inflation — dollars will be worth less tomorrow so get rid of them now — it also helps weather a bad quarter or even a bad year or two. Being cash-strapped when a stochastic negative event hits means you are suddenly FORCED to take actions you would prefer not to. Like massive layoffs, scaling back on your core offerings, or cutting off your nose for future growth business.

British Military Intelligence is a credible source in the same way the Ukraine MOD is a credible source - they are participants in the conflict and have a propaganda mission to fulfill. In that case, you must believe that Russia was shelling its own nuclear power plant and that a Ukrainian woman destroyed a drone with a pickle jar.

If that's credible to you, knock yourself out, I am not going to try to convince you, but it's not credible to people in most of the world, who would consider, for example, non-aligned sources such as Indian/Mexican/Brazilian to be neutral, rather than looking to nations that are arming/subsidizing one side of this conflict as being neutral.

I have lived through a lot of wars, and seen a lot of cheerleading for wars, especially in Western media. I remember the stories of Iraquis taking incubators out of Kuwait, of viagra being given to Libya's soldiers to rape women, etc. Western media and government institutions are often a spin machine for war - not all, there are anti-war outlets and reporters doing good work, but when you are talking about ministry of defense statements, you don't look for nations waging proxy wars as sources of reliable info about the conflict in question.

I would apply the same level of credibility to Russian MoD statements as I would to British MoD.
You can ask specifically what isn't clear and we could discuss that particular topic for clarification.

I assume you aren't familiar with the Lindy effect though and I apologize for making an arcane reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
I see the trick - the way they query for citations is just to append your text with a [put a reference here] tag, and then see what the model predicts. So it figures that immediately following "MS-COCO dataset" should, of course, be the citation for MS-COCO. With that in mind, you can structure your prompt to get the thing you want:

"Real time object-detection on the MS-COCO dataset was demonstrated by" gives a correct result (YOLO).

BugMeNot was a good example of a pivot - RetailMeNot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RetailMeNot ($90 million for the founders)

Which is why they let BugMeNot start slipping over a decade ago removing domains when requested, they didn't want to risk the cash cow.
I created several BugMeNot accounts over the years without any issues. I guess if any of them got used for unsavory stuff it would be pretty clear from the logs that the account was shared.
You typically don't put in any information in these systems.

It is mainly to combat download links that require you to create an account etc.

I really don't see any risk if you use it for stuff like that. And they'd have to really put in an effort to even find you.
Nothing is perfect, but some things are clearly better than others - hence why we’re nearly-all using git rather than "learning and familiarising ourselves" with CVS :)

Eight studies document what may be a fundamental and universal bias in human imagination: people think things could be better.
The author undersells himself - AlphaGo basically searches the game tree the same way he describes of GOFAI. Monte Carlo Tree Search is old yet essential. The neural network mainly improves the game evaluation heuristic, using function approximation which I'm sure the author is familiar with. Modern AI abilities are mind boggling but they're not that complicated to understand, especially with a GOFAI background!

When MtGox collapsed I held .01 BTC there worth about $1 at the time, about $170 today. I'd transferred just enough for me to play around with.

The sheer number of letters I have gotten in the mail about the bankruptcy from the Japanese government easily cost a pretty penny more than my initial $1 in postage alone. I was honestly a little impressed they managed to hunt me down.

I made zero attempts at getting that money back.
Question: Eat a cat

Answer:

Eat a cat is a game of tag in which a person who has the cat is "it" and must tag another person.
For the song by the British rock band the Cure, see Eat the Cat.Eat a Cat
Contents
Rules
Rules

One person has a cat and is "it", while the other players have to run to a specified point, usually a fence or wall, and remain there. The cat must then "eat" another player, by touching them, before the cat can be "eaten" itself. The cat may only touch one person at a time.
In some variations, players may have to jump over the cat, rather than touch it. The cat may also have to eat two people in succession, before being able to eat itself.
In some variations, the cat may have to "eat" an additional player, by touching them, before it can touch the person it is currently touching.

I've thought of this as a hardware product: A device that records your own voice and non vocal sounds, but which does not record the words of others. (That, plus maybe location and a video stream, provided one is in a location without "a reasonable expectation of privacy.")

Perhaps it doesn't even have to be hardware at this point! Maybe this could be installed as an app on an older smartphone?

I only ever used it to access things that should not have been behind a user account in the first place. It was really just an opt out for the forced "sign up for our newsletter/spam to download our app" type paths. The only thing it'd really leak is that someone with a particular IP had used bugmenot... Which many would likely consider an advantage over going through creating an account and potentially getting spammed.
this is basically how matrix's federation works. every homeserver has its own copy of any room that any of its users are on, regardless of what server owns/created the room originally, they all keep in sync with each other to merge messages in from the other homeservers. you can also create local-only, homeserver-specific channels if desired.

Everyone is making a big fuss over the complex corporate structure, and while suspicious, it's also not totally out of the norm. If you've ever seen real-estate syndication deals (another activity with many investors over varying classes), those regularly have a web of dozens of entities just to wrap around a single property.
I prefer to place emphasis where content is produced rather than who consumes content.
The really painful thing is that probably 80% of people are quite reasonable but on social media the extremes on both sides dominate conversation. Extreme toxicity as well as extreme fragility are the norm.

Extremity is highly engaging and richly rewarded, hence maximizing polarization has become an incentive on its own. "normal" users have been exposed to this discourse for several years now, and may have internalized it.

I'm not sure why that matters. For a very long time I was impressed with the low number of employees and the income per employee at Google. I think their raise in employees should ideally be because they finally have a new product with similar income per employee potential, less ideally they could be releasing a new product branching into Microsoft or IBMs territory and need many somewhat lower paid employees.

> Because that is simply not in vogue

The hostile responses you've go this do rather demonstrate your point. Building peace in a world bristling with nukes held by independent sovereignties with limited information about each other and often incongruent self-defined 'interests', is indeed a hard problem. Hard problems require work and thought and research to try to solve. If conditions change to make the problem harder, more resources and work are required.

That readers here find that requirement incomprehensible for this specific hard problem is exactly the point. Peacebuilding (as an activity, an actual diplomatic project, not a hope) has indeed fallen out of vogue and out of the collective political imagination. Little being permanent in international relations, it could yet return.
Indeed.

I played a final 40 hours of OW1 just before OW2 came out then played 40 hours of OW2. 5v5 in its current state has problematic balancing issues, but I will set those aside with the assumption that they'll eventually be fixed. I will also set aside the total destruction of the metagame as that is their business department's plan.

The real scandal with OW2 is that they removed all performance feedback. No more being on fire, no more end-game cards where you could give kudos to a player on either team. In its place is nothing and there is no business justification for it. Defeats are crushing, victories are hollow. No levels or loot boxes. I can't ask my friends to come back and play because it's just bad. I'm just not going to play anymore.
Do any of those applications use neural nets in any non-trivial way? I'm pretty sure that kind of stuff is all classical statistical modeling.
