it's not ignorance of the law - it's that the courts have not ruled on an issue, and so an injunction is appropriate while waiting on said ruling.
Yeah, it's definitely not to the point where it can track complex details. Getting it to correct its output can be pretty frustrating.

Still though, I'm impressed with it. I have used it three times now to write out capturing regexes for Advent of Code problems. For the kind of thing where it's a few lines, you know exactly what you want, you just don't want the labor of typing it, it is pretty wild how handy it is.
Wait which Circle?

I remember a decade ago Circle being a startup where VCs all invested like $30M in an early round and a month later the entire startup went bankrupt.

That Circle?

Nice try
This is the smart guy logic argument when politics is not governed by logic, it is governed by emotion and therefore marketing. Homeless does not oversimplify the problem in the same way that houseless does because homeless has all the negative connotations of people's experience with homeless associated it with it. The negative connotations of the actions of the homeless people the listener has come in contact with are brought up by that term so a listener with any experience will realize giving a homeless person a house will solve almost no problems and cost a huge amount of money.

Whereas houseless is a new term with little to no baggage so it's easier to sell people obviously stupid ideas by changing the terms whenever the new term captures all the connotations of the old term. It's the euphemism treadmill abused for marketing rather than being used to describe the process of transferring meaning to overcome this kind of thing.

1. Nourish my body back to full health. Got Vit D and B12 deficiencies and minor exercise related injuries, put on a few extra kgs of fat in the abdomen area.
2. Nourish my mind back to full health. I overworked myself during the pandemic without a good balance and badly burnt myself out.
3. Explore the world with spouse. Find a place to stay that has good environmental chars (air quality, water etc.).

Next
1. Complete my journey of learning to code by building and launching 1-2 simple apps in the year.
2. Build a few new businesses that run with low maintenance effort in software, content or a combination.

Ha. Being poor might not be the thing to focus on, since they're all in the same arrangement. The actual problem is that they're badly raised and don't know how to behave properly. People wouldn't have a problem with how poor they may be if they were more considerate to their flatmates.
Good times.

Recently I received several emails from Amazon offering me $15 if I would start using their Photos service. Never read the fine print, but that sounds skeezy - like they're trawling for more raw material to train ML systems on.

This is really great. I can't seem to get sound working on Firefox, though.
I’m not sure I understand how it’s different, assuming that the fuel for 20K warheads is no longer available for use in active warheads.
Not really. You just have to ask yourself why these private companies were even going the SPAC route rather than do a regular IPO. The answer was usually that these were not particularly great companies, and doing an IPO means the company is put under a lot of scrutiny. SPACs are a way to avoid that, so insiders can cash out.
VCs means founders get the short end of the stick.
Different bird, same name. But also hyper intelligent, social, judgemental even: they "punish" transgressors of their (australian) magpie code. They also mourn deaths in the community. I've had good magpie friends in different houses here.

They have to care for "teenager" birds, I suspect prolonged adolescence may be part of the socialisation of the species.

Some people say Tasmanian Magpies are less swoopy than the mainland. Which goes to "culture"

Yes, all too human. And if you try to inquire regarding its obvious fallibility it has a nervous breakdown.

Interesting, why don't you wear a helmet on the road?

I assume the reason you always wear a helmet off road is because of all the falls on trails?

> Say all of that after you read the above reference.

I'm more than willing to do so. That's not a very good reference, because if you're going to do any in-depth study of how and why barriers to new ideas crop up repeatedly in the history of science, you need to spend more than a paragraph explaining stuff. (Also, where in hell is Lavoisier? The debunking of phlogiston makes such a wonderful addition to these kinds of lists!) And when you study in depth, "they were persecuted for being right" turns out to actually be at strong odds with the historical data. But hey, where have we heard narrative being more important than facts before...

Take the most recent example: Schechtman and quasicrystals. It turns out, if you're not familiar with the field, that there's a mathematical theorem that proves that quasicrystals can't exist. And also it's a field that is notorious for being finicky in experimentation--you need good crystals, which are hard to get. So it's only natural that saying "here's this thing that we know can't exist" is going to get him pilloried for saying so... but that's not really what happened. A lot of people had seen similar things before, so the initial reaction was, while controversial, still had a lot of "hmm, that's funny" reaction rather than outright rejection (note that the paper was accepted without much fuss). Around the same time, Penrose tilings were discovered, which provided clues as to why the mathematical theorem was in fact wrong (it had an assumption that crystals could only be periodic, whereas quasicrystals are aperiodic), and the main organization of crystallographers explicitly changes its mandate to include quasicrystals within 7 years of the original publication--extraordinarily rapid. Sure, Linus Pauling was a very loud and vocal opponent of quasicrystals, and spent the rest of his life trying to prove Schechtman wrong. But the field moved on despite this opposition.

There is another point that is often made here: if someone is resorting to citing "Galileo was persecuted for being right!" as a defense for their new scientific theory, they are almost certainly a crank. (See, e.g., https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html).
Well, yeah, there's going to be (or maybe already was) an explosion of sites that are full of content that's okay quality. Now anyone can generate good copy for $0. Blogs, tweets, heck even comments (this one is all human, I promise). When everything is good nothing really stands out. I'd say that's a problem for someone like Google.
I find that the people most critical of strategy consulting are often the ones with least experience in it—and tend to paint caricature and with a broad brush at that. Thank you for this more realistic comment.
A 'mediocre' artist 'of limited ability', despite pulling off a stroke that required both successfully imitating the style of a master artist and coming up with an advanced (for the time) innovation in the chemical medium (the substrate that holds the pigment).

The art world is not a meritocracy, excellent artists can languish because their ideas are out of fashion or too far ahead of the public's taste (van Gogh being the most famous example). The condescending tone of this article is an irritating distraction from the interesting-sounding book it promotes.

By way of example I recall seeing a robbery video online I think in Chicago where some fella was walking to work early in the morning like 5am and a car passes him by, pulls a corner, waits for the victim to cross before them, comes out pulls out a gun and has the guy hand over his phone and I think verbalize the code or pass it over unlocked. I think the guy stole venmo or something off his accounts, something like that, and I forget if they were actually interested in the phone or just the information on the phone.
I preferred regular checkout so that some younger/unskilled people could have jobs. I fought against self-checkout for years, thinking I was doing them a favor.

You are missing the point. The point is that we have a system that yes, harvests those animals for food. But we have an agreement in society that our goal is to harvest those animals without unnecessary cruelty. If some rancher were torchering their animals while ranching they would go to jail.

Its not that neuralink did monkey experiments, every medical device company does those all day, there are entire facilities dedicated to doing so with populations of hundreds or thousands of animals. The issue of that neuralink tortured those animals, did shoddy half baked work and therefore caused undue suffering to them.

It's like cadaver work, it's a necessity for our modern medicine. It's one thing for a student to do cadaver work to learn how to be a surgeon, respecting the sacrifice of the cadaver. It's another thing entirely to disrespect that cadaver, disrespect that sacrifice, that's illegal. That's what neuralink did, disrespected the sacrifice.

I came to a similar conclusion about CRDTs after reading Figma's article.

I ended up implementing state machine replication using Cloudflare's Websockets and Redux and found the result to work quite well.

Redux actions seemed ideal for this problem because you can simply share the actions between peers. I couldn't find many redux-based solutions out there but it worked well for my use case.

I don't think wireless carriers would want 1.2 MHz at that low of a frequency. They'd have the same issues with interference that broadcast stations have. The transmit antennas would take up acres of land (each element hundreds of feet long). Receiver antennas would also need to be large.

Also, very little data would fit in such a tiny spectrum window.
Now you just need a 6DOF robot arm to ensure there's always a cup waiting. :)

Most strategy consultants are saying what management already knows but needs to confirm in case things go bad in order to cover their ass. Without the consultants they maybe wouldn’t make the “difficult” choice of laying people off or paying pharmacies to get people addicted to opiates and therefore the business would suffer.
Quite a few multiples of that. Im sure some people will take it
But to secure my hardware security key I need a PIN, too otherwise anyone can just borrow it. Also I still need a backup in case I actually lose it somewhere. And when I get recommended to reinstall my browser to fix a problem and I accidentally deleted my profile I might lose access to accounts.

What else are they supposed to do?

If they ignored the allegations I’m guessing you’d criticize that too?
Sorry, but I’m failing to see how rootless containers are relevant.

Having multiple user accounts is a legit use case - think e.g. a shared device. A typical Linux package manager’s install is a privileged operation. Homebrew on the other hand gives the user that had originally installed it write permissions to certain directories. This strategy enables sudo-less brew install for the specific user and prevent it from being used by anyone else.
Or they were high capital low margin businesses. There are many of these out there, like defense or airline businesses. We need them to exist, but investors don’t like them because it’s harder to make money from them. It doesn’t mean the business is bad, it just means payoff is longer. SPACs are one of the few ways they can get money.
Hey Mr. Vance, it looks like many folks disagree with you and your wife's stance on Neuralink, including some of their own employees. See this article and associated comments:

You'd still have to deal with adversarial spam. Competitor A pays a botnet to visit and downvote Competitor B's links at will, thus tanking its ranking.

In order to detect malicious activity you'd have to use a bunch of other signals, and also to use the downvotes with some suspicion, so you're back at looking content quality, reputation, page speed, and many other signals. Which sounds very similar to status quo.

Personally I'd like to see some sort of explicit input. If not used collectively, at least to customize my own results, like it happens on YT/Netflix/Instagram/etc - e.g. "never show results again from this site", or "I dislike this type of content".

On the other hand, they already migrated GFM once (to CommonMark), so it's not wildly unimaginable they might do it again. There is precedent. (Of course, it would have to take off first. Adoption is problem #1.)

This isn't about thunderbird specifically but I can't understand why companies keep making this mistake. They (1) mistake removing legitimately useful (sometimes even critical) features for "simplicity", and (2) copy their competitors, often badly. They also never seem to properly think out or test there changes first.

Can't they understand that people will just use their competitors because they can no longer use their app thanks to (1) or because they no longer have a reason to (2).

Mozilla fell for this. Gnome fell for this. Is it really all for the sake of maintainability? At what cost?! I just don't understand it. Can someone explain?

Why would its source code be part of the training corpus? Anything is possible, but it could just as easily be making this up

Edit: actually I want to expand a little bit. This model has had a lot of work put in to ensure "safety" but only in a shallow sense. Real failure modes, like being unable to tell if it is lying about stuff, are ignored. Whether or not it for some reason has it's own source code memorized as part of the weights (which would really be weird), this is definitely a failure because it provides output that cannot be trusted.

> The pair of cancellations, which happened less than an hour apart

Is this literally just two cancellations? I never put any money into a SPAC, but I suspect the shareholders are better off with their money returned than going into a bad deal. Concord raised money at $10/share, and they are returning $10/share back. I don't feel bad for the investor that bought it for $13/share from an exchange and lost $3. Concord didn't do business, they didn't produce a product, they never merited a 30% above cash market price.

The Bitwarden webvault infrastructure is a doomsday target. If it's compromised, no evidence of a client backdoor will exist except in the server logs. You can't avoid using it, because you need to sign into the webvault to configure 2FA. Want to change the encryption passphrase? Guess what, you need to use the webvault. Bitwarden's vault encryption is essentially reduced to the security model of TLS.
