Same thing with medical tech, energy tech, etc.

If there was no secession there would not have been a war, yes, slavery was the irreconcilable problem. but it was the rebellion against the state that led to armies marching.

why did the north not just let the south go? why was it worth roughly a million lives to keep them in the union? on this point I bet that if the north knew how nasty the war would get they would have said let them go, but by the time they saw how big the conflict was they were stuck with it.

I think the lesson is that nations can be jealous hording creatures at times. Honestly, I am bit surprised there was no war over brexit.
I have contacted AMZN support about obviously bogus and word salad product listings but they say they won’t do anything unless you bought the product.

I don’t think they understand that when more than 50% of listings are obviously bogus you don’t have much confidence in the ones that remain. For me AMZN went from the first place I looked to the last.

Reading the background this seems a ban of fossil power plants that are used for on-premise crypto-mining rather than crypto-mining more broadly. Basically expanded regulation on which fossil fuel power plants can be allowed to run . Miners are still free to build a different power plant or buy electricity from the grid.

In my experience, Ali Express is absolutely 100% a buyers market, in every single way. I've bought random junk with a somewhat long fulfillment time, and contacted the seller just to politely ask about a time frame without in any way indicating dissatisfaction, and received groveling responses begging me to not open a dispute with Ali.

That's not fair--or true.

Work on perception and memory has held up astonishingly well. Behavioral experiments from the 1800s and 1900s basically nailed down the properties of the retina, a hundred years before we had the techniques to measure it physiologically.

It's also integrated in a lot of "real world" applications: a lot of work has gone into building psychoacoustic models for audio codecs, color spaces for image reproduction, etc. Findings about attention and eye movements influence UX, and all sorts of products exploit behavioral biases (often for nefarious ends).
Im not happy about it!
You almost understand it, but are missing the actual role of proof of work.

Merkle tree makes verifying the blockchain datastructure easier, and enables older blocks to be further secured by newer blocks.

Proof for work however makes producing an entirely alternive blockchain expensive. When looking at the bitcoin blockchain, you can prove exactly how much energy was used to make it, and know that energy was not used for making any other variant. This means you can be confident the blockchain is not a altered forgery meant to defraud you, as this attack would require spending all of that energy again.
> Governments are supposed to do regulatory action and not partnerships.

This is a very American view of politics, and this view is certainly not shared by every human on Earth. Europeans voted for such governments, along with all the benefits and drawbacks.

Being able to choose governments that align with their ideals is democracy.
Terry Pratchett wrote about this, and apparently the concept has its own economic theory named for it now.

There has been a case of confirmed code execution vulnerability in Evince in the past, in 2017:

* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2017-1000083/

As well as possible code execution vulnerabilities in Evince, in 2019 and 2011:

* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-1010006/

* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2011-5244/

* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2011-0433/

They have also had a command injection vulnerability, in 2017:

* https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2017-1000159/

These and other reported security vulnerabilities for Evince are listed here:

* https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-283/...

I think in the case of all software it is safest to assume that opening a file that you downloaded from the internet has the potential to do harm, regardless of whether you are using Linux, macOS, Windows, or some other operating system, and regardless of what software you use to read the file.

The best mitigation would be to keep a separate device that you use purely for unauthenticated internet browsing and opening files from the Internet. Never accessing any personal data on that device. In reality almost all of us will use the same devices for our personal files and data, and for browsing the internet and opening random files that we downloaded.

It is interesting to note that the statistics for known security vulnerabilities in Evince..

* https://www.cvedetails.com/product/23592/Gnome-Evince.html?v...

..pales in comparison to the statistics for known security vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat Reader:

* https://www.cvedetails.com/product/497/Adobe-Acrobat-Reader....

I wonder if it indicates that Evince is so much more secure than Acrobat Reader.. Or is it simply the case that Evince has not been subject to the level of scrutiny that Acrobat Reader has been? And if so, there might be more unknown security vulnerabilities lurking under the surface of Evince than in Acrobat Reader.
Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ Beta is now available to everyone in North America
The market is solving the problem for humanity. Ethereum transitioned to proof of stake (99.988% less electricity usage) and the price has now outperformed Bitcoin in the bull market and the bear market.
Is... is it bad that I think that might not actually be so bad? I never had an issue with full page reloads of a damn blog, but somehow it's all SPA garbage these days and all the sites have errors in one or more browsers but miraculously keep chugging along (except when they don't and there's a blank page).

At least in the old days if CSS or JS didn't load, you still got a semi-usable page.

Turning HTML+CSS+JS into an application platform has been one of the most fundamentally stupid things we've done as a field and we'll keep paying for it for years on end, second only to not adding slices to C.
Elon Musk did not found Tesla. He bought it once the Tesla Roadster was already a product.

What he did was "walk in" and put his name on things.

I've recently seen an anecdote from someone (claiming to be) a SpaceX veteran that at least there, there were whole structures in place within the company to "manage" Musk: people who would tailor information to his biases and moods, ideas presented to him in such a way that he could claim they were his, idiotic ideas of his that got conveniently forgotten, that sort of thing.

I've also seen multiple people point out that at Tesla and SpaceX, his narcissistic whims were always constrained by the physical: any changes to manufacturing processes both had to respect the laws of physics, and would take some time to physically build new components, retool the machines for different outputs, etc.

None of this holds at Twitter.

Thus, he's like a well-respected writer who has always had really good editors, but has become successful enough that he can now claim he doesn't need them.....and now everyone can see just how much those editors were doing for his work.
Yeah turns out even that didn’t happen. Actually piracy is the closest we can get to a universal service.

> DoH (and ESNI on the server side) would fix it, but iirc Chrome (the most used browser) doesn't use DoH by default.

It would fix it for some specific circumstances. Since maps.google.com resolves differently than www.google.com, you can ignore DNS and just look at TCP connections to tell what service is being talked to.
I believe, with few exceptions, that charging EV cars from the power grid consumes overall less power than the equivalent travel distance from ICE cars. If that premise is not true (it would be extremely hard to truly calculate the fully loaded costs of either) then much of the argument for EVs doesn't exist.

During the whole time of high gas prices over the last few months, I haven't refilled my hybrid- I've driven 8900 miles on 2.75 tanks of gas (14.5 gallons) and the rest has been electric charging. I am curious but have not computed whether this saved me any money, as electricity prices here are fairly high, but it's been wonderful to stay away from the gas station.
"Amazon has turned shill results into its next big thing. After selling $31 billion in ads last year, Amazon became the third-largest online ad company in the United States, trailing only Google and Facebook".

Nah. There are various people who call for policies like this, but then most reasonable instance admins ignore them, and the fediverse continues to operate.

The same thing has happened in the free software movement in general; some folks have called for copyleft-only, and the rest of the world has largely ignored them and is fine with shipping BSD licensed software along with GPL licensed software.
Great memories.
I don't think this could work out in medical practice or psychology. There are simply too many variables that influence the outcome in those disciplines and too many unknowns how those things work in detail that can't be expressed in a formula. The brain still remains a mistery
Anecdotal, but I haven't noticed this in the UK. Pretty much everything I order from Amazon still arrives within 24 hours, and I live in the countryside (albeit in the southeast so still not far from London.)

OTOH I still notice the problem that other people have mentioned - that practically everything on Amazon these days is the same repackaged Chinese dropshipped garbage. Which is one reason I shop on Amazon far less than I used to.
It's not that easy, you also have to account for the pointer sizes (4 bytes instead of 8). Also alignment requirements are different on x32.
I agree with you. I actually think most of it is fraud, there are huge problems. But not being excited in it the least is so weird to me! This is exciting! This is tech!
< look at the reliability of this year's models

You're completely missing my point. I was speaking of long term reliability. "reliability scores" of this years models tell you very little about long term reliability and maintenance costs! The not so good auto makers have problems that manifest in a small number of years, often right after the warranty period runs out. Reliable cars are expected to have a lifetime of a couple of decades!
You (and everyone else quoting low transactions per second figures) seem to be ignoring the parts above BTC that just use it as a net settlement layer, but allow for large numbers of transactions for almost no marginal energy usage per transaction. Lightning wouldn’t be able to do all those transactions without BTC providing that security.

This is not used for malicious CPU hijacking or whatever. It's a way to schedule low-priority JS tasks for later when the main thread is unblocked and give priority to more important things. It's a very useful API for when optimizing games or complex web applications.

Might as well quote the relevant blurb,

> The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

The one that exists in libertarian's minds when arguing about capitalism. Just for one thing, Section 8 housing is not nearly as easy to get as that comment makes out, getting off the waiting list famously can take decades. SNAP also famously punishes you for making too much. https://sablan.house.gov/snap-benefits-cliff Famous is somewhat facetious because the poster is unaware of what they are talking about.
Not going to comment on psychology directly, because I don't know enough about it, but there are some fields where there really is no replication crisis.

In structural engineering we literally tore metals apart to find their physical properties. Concrete was mixed. Giant crushing machines were used. Etc. Sometimes I think that half the reason why some fields don't have a replication crisis is because literal lives are on the line if you get it wrong, so people actually do the work to make the testing gear and align the incentives that need to be aligned.
Hopefully they're properly negative on SBF as opposed to the mainstream media that seems to be still effusing his praise or at least being neutral.

Also there's still the criminal charges to come after this. I don't really understand why he's not already in prison.

> that are running power plants that would otherwise not run

No, it says "that are operated through electric generating facilities that use a carbon-based fuel".

How is using the grid not banned? Does grid energy not use carbon-based fuel?
NYSERDA’s current plan is to have the majority (70%) of the downstate power delivery be renewable by 2030[1].

I agree that the lack of connectivity is surprising, though. My understanding was that the city was actually pretty interconnected with both the state and surrounding states, but it’s possible that some of those connections were reduced after the 2005 blackout. That’s speculation in my part, though.

If I was generating image labels I absolutely would need to worry about that. However, since we're only generating images alone, we don't need to worry about bits of the labels getting into the output images.

The attribution requirement would absolutely apply to the model weights themselves, and if I ever get this thing to train at all I plan to have a script that extracts attribution data from the Wikimedia Commons dataset and puts it in the model file. This is cumbersome, but possible. A copyright maximalist might also argue that the prompts you put into the model - or at least ones you've specifically engineered for the particular language the labels use - are derivative works of the original label set and need to be attributed, too. However, that's only a problem for people who want to share text prompts, and the labels themselves probably only have thin copyright[0].

Also, there's a particular feature of art generators that makes the attribution problem potentially tractable: CLIP itself was originally designed to do image classification. Guiding an image diffuser is just a cool hack. This means that we actually have a content ID system baked into our image generator! If you have a list of what images were fed into the CLIP trainer and their image-side outputs[1], then you can feed a generated image back into CLIP and compare the distance in the output space to the original training set and list out the closest examples there.

[0] A US copyright doctrine in which courts have argued that collections of uncopyrightable elements can become copyrightable, but the resulting protection is said to be "thin".

[1] CLIP uses a "dual headed" model architecture, in which both an image and text classifier are co-trained to output data into the same output parameter space. This is what makes art generators work, and it can even do things like "zero-shot classification" where you ask it to classify things it was never trained on.
As someone completely unfamiliar with SD but interested in playing around with it in the future, what exactly should I download, to have a fully local instance of 1.4 or 1.5?

Those are interactive applications, there's not that much work for them to do when you're not interacting with them.
2,000 SWEs @ $100K each, $200M/year. $40K doesn't sound so bad (my large enterprise employer licenses GitLab Premium and it's worth every cent we pay).

We already hire the people who negotiate the purchase- it's the same people who manage the infrastructure for our onsite instances, etc. IE, that cost is already priced in.

We run our own runners, on a nodegroup in k8s, which downsizes after the runners go idle for a while.

In enterprise, many attempts to save or squeeze a last penny out of something just ends up moving the costs elsewhere in the company, or reducing productivity, or driving away good employees.
They will either have their eu assets frozen or have to leave the eu.

Given that twitter has a large presence in EU, leaving doesn't seem viable so they will probably pay the fine.

No, why would you think Apple is that stupid. They hire 6000 employees because apparently people of Ireland are efficient, just like their government for corporations. They work for lower prices than alternatives so Apple likes them more.
The part that goes in [...] reads:

> In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

Hard to describe posting awful garbage on twitter as "[forbidding] their followers to listen to rational argument" or answering those arguments "by the use of their fists or pistols". One might make the argument that it isn't "[meeting] us on the level of rational argument", but one could easily make the argument that all of twitter by it's very nature of tossing bumpersticker sized sound bites over the walls at each other isn't anything remotely approacing "rational argument".
How is that restrictive? Doesn't it just mean that any outputs of the model also fall under the same license so they can be used in public datasets?
You can probably afford it! One thing that would be great is for projects to choose to adopt it without bridging (but I'm partial to decentralized behavior)

Why?
Isn't just that either. When you're poor you don't have the proper clothes. You ruin good clothes doing hard work.
If instead of picking on specific uses of power, we put a price on carbon that allowed us to remove the carbon, most people won’t find it worthwhile to run 600W PCs either.
They cover that as well.
How to Benchmark (Python) Code
I think most of the requirements of this are fully orthogonal to the job of a given compiler, so it's best solved at the level of the build system.

Bazel does this, so instead of needing to reimplement this for each compiler it's automatically done across all your languages, and even any random one-off build rules based on a shell script.

You can share the cache with your team/build infra too: https://bazel.build/remote/caching

(Disclaimer: I've never used this with open-source Bazel, I work at Google and use the internal variant)
NYC is not the only city in NY state either, there's lots of sprawl in the rest of the state and punishing car driving that way would be political suicide, besides being a harsh and rushed measure to undo the costly blunder that was planning cities around private vehicle usage.

That's discounting a federal carbon tax that would go this deep, because that's certainly not happening.
