I kept hearing the comparisons to Python so I thought it'd be interesting to pick up but the syntax and naming was so counter to Python that that expectation made me immediately bounce off of it.

I'm torn between thinking there's no reason to expect Tom Brady to be an expert of crypto or business or accounting, and thinking that it would be good to make celebrities personally liable for faults with whatever they endorse. If celebrity endorsements carried liability, they would become more expensive and happen less, and fewer people who are persuaded by celebrities would be convinced to buy things they otherwise wouldn't.

That said, it would seem extremely weird to me to sue one of the extras in that commercial. They basically did the same thing, try to persuade people to use FTX, as the celebrities. Why is it wrong for famous rich people to do something but okay for non-famous to do it?
Simulating it step by step is the upper bound establishing that is in EXPTIME, the second part, the reduction to the bounded halting problem, is what establishes EXPTIME-completeness. And the time hierarchy theorem finally establishes that EXPTIME is not equal to P.
The only gaming I do on my M1 Mac is via Steam streaming from my PC.

I don’t really expect to change this, the setup works well for me - my gaming PC is connected to a TV and has a much higher TDP and more fans than my Mac (which has none, and will never have any.) The only games I stream/play on my Mac are those that aren’t convenient on a TV. (e.g. Civilization.)

It costs somewhat more to have two devices, but not as much more as one might expect, since RAM/SSD space/(maybe GPU?) are all much cheaper in a DIY desktop than in a Mac, so my Mac doesn’t need to be specced for games.
Wow, nice "people are saying" play. Every single time the laptop story comes up it's in a butthurt way that is hilariously selective in its indignation.

Misinformation/disinformation is a thing and is not considered healthy for discourse. It also seems to be willingly embraced when it serves one's biases. Pity.
.. and Steph Curry!

Does anyone have any litigation history on "celebrities endorsing something that turns out to be a fraud"?

I would think they wouldn't end up having to pay much, if anything. Their lawyers would argue "Hey, you made your own decisions! Don't blame it on Steph!"

But I would predict they make a token payment and get dismissed from the suit. Just a guess.

Edit: I don't disagree with any of the answers. I'm just curious as to whether this has ever happened before. I think "sue everyone who has any money" is the plaintiff philosophy here.

My times were spitball estimates. I'm slow to chop, and also defrost my meat in the microwave so I can saute.

There's probably an element of perceptual time compression involved too. Even if the total overhead time is actually 20 - 30 minutes, it might as well be 45 minutes.

Manual depressurization is messy. Yes, I can use a towel over the release valve to keep brothy splatters going on the wall, but now I have a brothy towel that I could have avoided if I waited 20 minutes.

Haven't tested it on that, but I did try it with an anime character who might be somewhat similar: Yoshida Yuuko, aka. Shamiko. Given that she's a very specific sort of demon girl, it was completely impossible to get anywhere close to her appearance with any pre-existing model.

I took ten high-quality pictures off Pixiv, spent five minutes cropping them, and ran Dreambooth overnight on a 3090 — this turned out to be enormous overkill, the final model was massively overtrained. Intermediate ones were fine.

The output is perfect; even higher quality than what the input model was already good at. This remains true even if I wander well outside the scope of the input pictures, e.g. different art styles, or Shamiko in a spacesuit wandering Mars, or...

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/w300/l9rBbcFo

Trust me when I say that 'magical girl shamiko' is not usually a thing. The technology works.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/807260261747785759/10...

How about Shamiko on a highly improbable forest run? A completely different art style / "medium", in a completely different pose from any of the input images. Mind you, it's lower quality; that's mostly because I didn't do any cleanup or img2img work.

It's still not as good as the real thing. She's missing her tail in both of these pictures — though she had it in others — but even if I filtered for that, it's missing the expressivity it usually has. Shamiko's an emotional girl, and a lot of that shows in tail behaviour...

I doubt I need to tell you that there is no way to say "Jealous Shamiko, with tail curled protectively around Momo". Not yet, at any rate.

This is what Apple claims, but what I heard back at AT&T was Apple demanded full payment for every sold device up front from AT&T, meanwhile every other vendor was providing multi-year financing.

AT&T had much worse commissions for selling iPhones than new lines for a reason. Meanwhile, Verizon, Sprint & T-Mobile played the long game and waited to sign volume commits and financing terms with Apple.

The carrier specific iPad financing promos where they sell you a tablet well below cost (even factoring in the 2 year data plan cost) is a situation created by these minimum volume commits.

I don't think one should let consideration drive paralysis. But I don't think devoting a modest amount of time to being considerate is wasteful.

That said, I think there are plenty of people who feel resentful that people are now asking them to be considerate when before they could get away with being thoughtless jerks. That's especially the case when the requests for consideration come from groups constructed as lesser (women, non-dominant ethnic groups, gender/sexuality minorities, etc). Those people can go fly a kite.

I disagree that the costs are growing. My experience is that I spend an approximately constant amount of time on consideration. On occasion, somebody points out how something I said could be unpleasant or harmful to some set of people. I think about it, usually find another way to make my point, and move on. From what I've seen, the only people who find this burdensome are the ones who are resentful that they have to think about people unlike them, and so don't end up learning. That's a choice that they can make, but I don't see any reason to coddle them.

That misses the point. The discussion is about whether limiting a Turing machine to a finite but non-trivial tape length makes the halting problem tractable. That you can solve the halting problem in some cases - for example for while (true) { } or return 42; - has no bearing on this. The question is whether you can solve the hardest instances satisfying the constraints, not whether you can solve some easy instances.
On my vintage jacket, the gore Tex membrane itself is less than 5 mils thick. There are freaky chemical burns on the front of it, ate through the tough external facing material, but didn't react to the Teflon. So I can see directly how the laminate was constructed.

I never got around to patching that... but yes there's tough stuff.

The Marmot gear I tried, the "Durable Water Repellent" (DWR) is claimed to be more durable than previous Gore Tex products. That's important because when the surface DWR is dirty with oils or abraded, it will wet out, saturate, and while the PTFE membrane won't leak liquid water, now it's not passing vapor either: you generally end up damp or worse. Condensation etc.

Which is why Gore Tex certification covered the whole process, the final product design.

I don't yet have decades of experience with current products. But honestly comparing them, the newer ones seem to be far superior build quality. That's hard for me to quantify.

The product reviews for the North Face FutureLight gear have noted how they hold up, scrambling over rocks and during Alpine style ascent.
Yup, but it's more similar to "express" in Node than to a full framework like Django. I have plans to build a library on top of prologue for the ORM and database interaction and other cool features of Django that prologue currently lacks.

> It's largely the major cities where you cannot find it.

I would argue differently, and say that it's entirely a factor of density. The more people that are crammed into a small area, the more you will see the spectrum of human behavior in any given situation.

So, in the midwest you might see people clearing sidewalks and driveways for each other - I'm more familiar with the HOA that sends threatening letters to people for not shoveling fast enough. But you don't see both those things at the same time, so you can choose to focus on whichever you prefer.

In my experience in a large US city, people are incredibly kind and very much look out for each other, even strangers. I have many times seen strangers helping each other in situations, both minor and serious, and neighbors even more so. And sure, yes, I've seen people acting badly, but in general from living in both part of the country, people in the city are far and away nicer and more concerned about the welfare of those around them.
>> I don't intent to change your mind, only to explain to you a perspective that you apparently find incomprehensible

>I spent decades eating animals and claiming that I loved them. You are not exposing me to new ideas.

I don't mean that eating meat is a new idea. I was specific, as a longer quote will reveal: "... to explain to you a perspective that you apparently find incomprehensible: I absolutely think compassion for animals is compatible with raising them to eat." It was in response to this:

> When meat is being served, you know animal welfare is not being considered. One cannot claim to value the welfare of a being before killing it prematurely and unnecessarily. That is a simple fact.

I think I've demonstrated pretty well that your simple fact is wrong, and there's a lot of complexity that allows for meat and animal welfare to exist together. You don't -- for very convincing reasons that are apparently only available to private followers of your philosophy via video chat. ;)

I suppose that means I've failed to get you to see my point of view -- but ah well. To tell the truth, I didn't actually think I would succeed at that part, because as I've said a bunch of times, I don't think this position proceeds from reason -- I think it proceeds from emotion, and some unhealthy emotions at that. To put all the cards on the table, the quote I was initially responding to is the sort of statement that I find aggressive and morally bullying. I'm writing to remove the power from it, to articulate a good answer for people who have trouble doing that, and to demonstrate that standing up to it isn't scary -- quite the contrary, that you can't back it up because it's silly in the first place. I would like to have been able to help you, but my main motivation is actually to prevent you from hurting others.

Isn't inconsistency just a natural facet of any language that developed organically over time? We aren't talking about a programming language here.

I don't see how it's any different to gendered articles in German not really having much of a logical basis to them or kanji readings in Japanese just being something you learn on a case by case basis. I'm only talking about languages I have personal experience with; I'm sure there are others that could be commented on.

It's not, but I am guessing they are targeting those with money, not the broke extras.
Not wrong for one and not the other. The non-celebs just don’t have enough money to make it worth it to sue them.

That's more of a matter of personal opinion than convenience. I've noticed that people who prefer the Switch tend to see video games as quick time wasters that they play for 10 minutes at a time when their hands are free and don't give much thought to where or why they play them. Personally whenever I play games I prefer to sit down in a quiet room for hours at a time and dedicate all of my attention to them, while playing at a level of visual quality that's actually pleasing to the eyes.

Chad Loder reported it on Twitter so Musk banned his account
In a lot of ways, whether it has or not is moot in the medium-term.

Court cases / legal clarification may outlaw Stable Diffusion or DALL-E for having been trained without the consent of the original artist on their copyrighted artworks. But if this technology proves valuable and viable, the likes of Disney, WPP, and Omnicom Group will pay a few dozen artists to create enough work to seed an engine that can generate 50 million wholly-owned lookalikes.

Copyright protection will ultimately shield the megacorps from competition by the common folk, not artists from competition by corporations.

> There’s precedent for a complete ban. Apple and Google banned Parler, a much smaller and conservative-leaning site, in 2020 after posts on the site promoted the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6 and included calls for violence. In Apple’s case, the decision to ban high-profile apps is made by a group called the Executive Review Board, which is led by Schiller — the Apple executive who deleted his Twitter account over the weekend.

> Although Apple approved Truth Social, Trump’s social networking app, in February, it took longer for Google Play to approve it. The company told CNBC in August that the social network lacked “effective systems for moderating user-generated content” and therefore violated Google’s Play Store terms of service. Google eventually approved the app in October, saying that apps need to “remove objectionable posts such as those that incite violence.”

> Musk reportedly fired many of Twitter’s contact content moderators this month.

> ... Apple’s App Store has never allowed pornography, a policy that dates back to the company’s founder, Steve Jobs, and Google also bans apps centered around sexual content.

> Anything that isn’t safe for work needs to be hidden by default. Twitter currently allows adult content, which could put it even more directly into reviewer sights.

> “Apps with user-generated content or services that end up being used primarily for pornographic content ... do not belong on the App Store and may be removed without notice,” Apple’s guidelines say.
U.S. Expands Bans of Chinese Security Cameras, Network Equipment
The most interesting thing about bin chickens to me is how they got their name.

They never used to bother Sydney very much until one bird, yes one, was brought into the city on a boat. It managed to get back to it's home land, the next year, hundreds of them migrated into the city and raided the abundant food available in the cities bins.

These aren't stupid birds, they're intelligent and communicate with their peers about food availability.

> it’s only legal because there are no laws specifically making it illegal currently.

No, it's only legal because nobody has litigated a case all the way to the Supreme Court. We all thought that APIs weren't copyrightable, and then, suddenly they were (or worse, were "assumed to be" but not explicitly ruled upon).
This is absolute nonsense. International trade is predominantly conducted in US dollars, therefore it's patently obvious that it must possible to transfer dollars abroad.
