I'm not sure if the author really made a point here. Make yourself uncomfortable by choice, so you'll be able to tolerate it when, "chances are low" to quote, it comes around anyway?

I'm not sure if "spending 1 minute in an ice bath" really drove it home. "I've given up takeaway during the week" or "I've stopped using my aircon" would be more...impactful? As it is, it comes across as comparing a cold bath to what undeveloped countries live in, which feels very naive.

>It is unethical to attribute words to someone that they did not use, especially when presented as a quote.

In a discussion about the use of technology that can be used to effect ethnic cleansing, you want to argue about the ethics of "attributing words to someone they did not use" as a straw man .. ?

An attempt was made to minimize the impact of this crime against humanity - thats what it is, a crime against humanity - and I made the comparison with other attempts to minimize crimes against humanity in order to indicate the fallacy of the position that "this is not a crime against humanity". That's called a rhetoric method, and if it upset your sensibilities, it might be more due to the fact that your sensibilities on this issue are completely out of whack.

It is a fact that the mass collection of biometric data always leads to abuse and further crimes against humanity. So why justify its collection?
It doesn't work in "closed book" form, the only way you can do that now is to have good tests and let the language models try many attempts.
you'd know for a fact the sources from which the executable you're using was compiled.

this would, in theory, allow you to make sure it doesn't contain any malicious code.

in reality, of course, this is rather impractical since you'd need to manually verify every single source file and every single line of code.
There's often some indicator. E.g. some consonant clusters might only appear at the beginning of the word, never in the middle of it. Or stress might be regular enough to tell you where the last word boundary was or where the next one will be.

But in most natural languages, there are usually enough exceptions that you still have to rely on context to parse.
I am having this issue too. It seems it's making a POST request to localhost:8000, looks like their prod is broken.
Not sure about US, but for example in Czechia, you can download any content legally - as long as you don't share it, it's fine. Torrents do share it though, so that is a gray area.

You also have a right to make a personal backup/copy of the content, again, as long as you don't share that copy (projecting for multiple people is also sharing in this context).

I've also thought about this problem but ended up with curl | sh:

curl https://clickhouse.com/ | sh

The arguments are:

- it's 'sh', not 'sudo sh', so it's not that bad;

- you can remove '| sh' and read the script;

- the deb, rpm, tgz, and docker packages are also provided, but only as advanced usage;

- nevertheless, all these packages, for all distributions, contain the same byte-identical ClickHouse binary.

It works surprisingly well. Even people without experience can copy-paste this command and start using our software.
> Again, a crap situation, but one that the CDC wasn't responsible for.

They simply messed up. All they had to do was say nothing and reach out to the manufacturers making N95 masks and their retailers. Just going to Walmart and Amazon and getting them to pull their stock would have prevented the vast majority of people from getting their hands on them. A non-trivial number of Americans at the time had already been wrongly and loudly bleating about how masks were useless and were really about "controlling the population".

The CDC lying to the public was plain wrong. However
well-intentioned, it was a terrible shortsighted error in judgement that cost them all credibility. The CDC is perhaps the one agency we most need people to trust and they proved themselves to be untrustworthy.

The paper is not super-well written, it kind of hides the underlying idea (which is pretty simple) and doesn't show it clearly on page 1. What ever happened to the good old article-writing rules that you need to present a summary of your idea clearly in Figure 1 already? :)

My take is that the they guess at an alpha-mask first, then iterate by generating a composite image of the input image (to be segmented) with a uniform background using the proposed alpha, then update the mask using gradient descent on the score of the composite image related to the text-conditioning.

They add some extra scoring functions to try to suppress "bad" alpha masks.
It appears that your perspective on the matter at hand diverges from mine, and I suspect that you may have ulterior motives beyond simply discussing the factual information that is relevant to the conversation. Regardless, I hope you have a pleasant day.
How to Do Open-Source Projects: Curated List of Tools, Guidelines, & Knowledge
These articles about ABIs are really good, thank you. I'd like to comment on the following:

> Um sorry what? This is Bappyscript, not C. Where’s the Bappyscript interface for Linux?

Right here!

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscall.2.html#NOTES

On Linux, you don't need C at all since you can interface with the kernel directly. The ABI is stable and simple enough that a new programming language could have a system_call keyword that makes the compiler emit the system call code.

With this one piece of functionality, it's possible to do literally anything on Linux. No need for C libraries and their legacy at all. The hardest part will be describing the Linux user space API data structures in the new language so that they can be passed to and from the kernel.
Another anti-pattern this UI and most modern UI has is a dramatic reduction in the number of visual cues that identify interactivity. This is a system widget, and blue indicates interactivity... but that's almost it. The shape is often used for other purposes, such as for a breadcrumb, and actually the positioning makes it look more like a breadcrumb. Furthermore, it's going to be used from a website, and thus you can't rely on the fact that the rest of the site's colors will be consistent with this particular shade of blue on an icon indicating interactivity.

It's all rather minimalist - and if a user catches it, that's fine, but if they don't, there aren't any fallbacks or additional hints as to what to do. Additionally, the icon seems fairly small from the screenshot - though on an actual device that may not be an issue. It may be too small to function as a good UX element.
If eithet you or the host have been compromised, it doesn't matter where you curl into bash, run pip install or download an exe/dmg/deb file - you're hosed.
> The biggest problem in these situations is that people are highly dependent an their current job (especially in the US)

It's not only that, it's also that the money is really good, comparatively speaking.

One of my close friends is a tech guy and works for the biggest European defence company, which is mostly a French-German alliance (they're also in the business of making planes), and two of his last job stints abroad have been in Afghanistan and in Saudi Arabia. There's no way he could have made the sort of money that he made had he decided to work for a local, very boring company (I live in an Eastern European capital city).
> Installing software by piping from curl to bash is obviously a bad idea and a knowledgable user will most likely check the content first.

I’ve yet to hear a coherent explanation why this is any worse than installing software from the internet in general. It’s not like you check the source of all software you install.
Sending a Bitcoin Bounty to the Moon
I don't know, I think eminent domain is in the Constitution because the founders knew that was an extremely dangerous power of the government to just take things by force from the populous. There is no Constitutional requirement that our leaders, elected or not, have to be truthful with us 100% of the time.

It is the difference between action and speech. Action is generally more dangerous. It is a little weird to me that in this discussion of the dangers of the government limiting speech, some people are more fearful of the government's speech than the government's action. It is a lot easier to simply ignore what the government says than try to hold on to my property when the men with guns come knocking at my door.
My problem with curl|bash is that it tends to not take into account my preferences wrt where binaries, config files, etc go. If you’re lucky it’ll take an envar. If you’re really lucky they’ll tell you what it is in the docs. I recently had to install the latest curl from source and it was as easy as ./configure --prefix ….

My agenda is to disallow the minimization of crimes against humanity, which is what this is.

Your agenda appears to be to justify it in an attempt to minimize the impact.

Unfortunately, it appears you are therefore aligned with the criminals themselves.

In which case, I hope your day is spent considering the ills of your life. Nobody should be attempting to justify these kinds of crimes against humanity. There is simply no excuse for the mass collection of human biometric data - especially in a region where crimes against humanity and war crimes are consistently (daily) being committed by the so-called 'morally authoritative' parties involved ..
AGPL does not get triggered by distributing mold produced binaries or using mold. It gets triggered by using it as a service for someone else, for example automated code compilation for someone else.

From the README.md:

mold is available under AGPL. Note that that does not mean that you have to license your program under AGPL if you use mold to link your program. An output of the mold linker is a derived work of the object files and libraries you pass to the linker but not a derived work of the mold linker itself.

In the same way, the sold linker is not legal to use except within its license, but this has no bearing on the binaries produced, as those are not derived work of the sold linker. The binaries produced are unrestricted, only using the sold linker in the first place is the issue.

If it were a derived work, like maybe mold produces a binary that yanks some mold code, the story would be different: https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/manual/html_node/Conditio...

Communities like Sketchfab [1] serve some of these needs. Although not 100% FOSS, ‘content hubs’ like this can be a fun place for creators/artists to share their work — and to potentially get paid — and for others to hunt for high quality assets. Sketchfab was acquired by Epic Games in 2021. [2]
Maintaining stylistic consistency from one asset to another is a challenge, however, but maybe upcoming advancements in AI-powered tools like Point-E [3] will enable assets of one style to be re-envisioned en masse into another style. E.g., a text prompt could be “I want all assets from artist X and artist Y to be stylized like the game GTA: Vice City.”

nice project !

my 2 cents from someone who used duolingo quite a bit but not intensively:

* add grammaticals notes, preferably attached to grammatical "objects" and not separate lessons. They may be boring but invaluable to understand a language

* explore other ways of teaching (for example the model of lingua latina per se illustrata)

* try to see if you can improve on the speaking exercices

In Bavaria, Germany the first strict lockdown was considered unlawful and extreme compared to the results and the severity of the situation, in the same time it was found that it violated people’s fundamental rights.

Resist what? What contrarianism? Do you think I want to go and kill people to prove I am smart? Or what is your point? Do you think it was fair to lock people in their houses, was it fair not to allow people to go outside and have a walk in the park? Was it normal that the police was out on the streets hunting for people or groups of people?

When my mom got cancer again after 2 years of not being able to get any kind of screening (yeah, that’s not possible, I’m just here spreading misinformation, no one died because cancer was mostly ingnored) and we drove back home (in the EU) having 3 negative pcr tests 3 days in a row, we were sent by the police in home isolation and checked by them every day, like some sort of criminals. But I sided with the virus and still went to see her in her last days, being there when she had her last breath. So you can take your politics, your health measures and let me live my life with the little humanity we were still allowed to have.

It’s easy to act all superior online with your cushy it jobs, belief in science, having food and packages delivered by those pesky Covid deniers while lecturing others online.

The solution to the toilet paper problem wasn't lying to everyone by telling them that toilet paper was ineffective at removing shit from our asses. It was ultimately handled at the retail end where stores limited the number that people could buy and/or held back inventory.

Masks could have been handled in the same way: from the manufacturer/retailer end. Masks could have been pulled off shelves and diverted to healthcare workers until they could be sold in limited numbers to consumers.
I do not believe that is the case at all. I believe I have a rational, sane approach to the commission of crimes against humanity, whereas your view seeks to justify those crimes - which can only be done under conditions of extreme delusion.

"Therefore, the assertion that the data of the whole afghan population is readily accessible seems somewhat exaggerated"

No, this is not correct. The assertion that the data of the whole afghan population is readily accessible is not negated by the 'mere' existence of 'only two devices'. These two facts are not related.

The truth is this:

1. The entire Afghan populations' biometric data was captured and is now in the hands of a totalitarian-authoritarian body that will actually use it to murder people.

2. This biometric data has started to leak - for example, the two devices easily obtained by CCC hackers.

3. It can be asserted with confidence that further leaks are possible.

None of this justifies the capture of human biometric data.
As I said before you are absolutely right it's fucking bad and repulsive but you can still communicate facts without making assumptions especially with a serious topic like this.

I have a special hate for the native browser controls when it comes to date ordering. Given the us-centric nature of the web, most of the rest of the world needs to interact with the oddness that is US format. It's normal therefore to see dates in a format that's appropriate in context - a us news article might use a US format; others will use a different format that makes sense in context.

Yet that's not how browser controls work - browser controls for all major browsers always use the client's date formatting settings when displaying dates (once popped up it's usually obvious which is which). And that just makes them pretty much unusable; it means outside of the US you will have dates in text using 1 format, whereas browser controls use a different one. That's... completely unusable. How all three of the major browser manufacturers managed to agree on this particularly hostile design is beyond me.

Have you considered the possibility that, when given true freedom and not being pressured into certain roles by society, that men and women strongly gravitate to different fields? It could be that the only reason we see more mixing in other societies is that those societies subtly (or not so subtly) pressure people into taking those roles.
By your definition, all the full-time farmers I know would be hobby farmers because they buy all their groceries despite farming acreages in the thousands. People trying to be self-sustainable on a couple acres and getting 80% of the way there will also still regularly buy groceries.

I'm not sure that the labels matter. Different people make different choices in what they choose to grow, raise, buy, or barter. At the end of the day, many people produce some of their own food, and that is a good thing whether it is a hobby farm, a homestead, or a garden box on an urban apartment balcony.

My similarly limited understanding tells me that there are a few aspects to this:

- We've evolved to find our natural habitat (which is very variable) pleasing, as that's an evolutionary advantage compared to constantly feeling uneasy.

- We are attracted to places that are different to the ones we live in, so we keep exploring and spreading.

- There's also a learned component - even if we understand that a landscape isn't habitable for us (like the desert), we're conditioned to finding it beautiful, as this is the cultural consensus.
I see no problem with the switch to a commercial license, however making it a subscription is a very short-sighted move.

Incorrect assumption. Everyone is obviously not equal.

I was quoting you. There are some practical differences obviously, but I don't believe any of them should mean women are less inclined to enjoy technical jobs.

> What evidence do you have for this "systematic discouragement"? Of the 98% of people who do not go into tech? How so?

Speak to women who are in tech, ask them what their experience was like. I haven't got any studies for you I'm afraid, it would seem we're debating in experiences so I don't think this will be constructive.
In manufacturing contexts, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is important for a number of reasons. One of the most important is IoT analytics. Manufacturers need data to understand what the status of their performance is and what’s slowing them down. From there, they can make decisions to improve the efficiency of their business. This process can even be automated by combining IIoT systems with artificial intelligence.

Combining technologies together in new and innovative ways is one of the best ways to remain competitive as a business. It’s important to consider the existing manufacturing IoT trends this year to get ideas about how exactly these technologies can benefit you.

For me pirating "services" (torrent trackers, Usenet, etc.) simply offer better choices.

For mainstream content it's available around the globe, in all kinds of different formats / bitrates, with community sourced subtitles, usable on any device (hw performance limitations notwithstanding) and in my possession forever after downloading should I choose to keep the content.

Another service improvement on piracy is better availability of more obscure content. Live shows, foreign movies/music or anything out of the mainstream is usually accessible better when you're pirating content.

The only content class traditional media companies and online streaming offers a better service for is live broadcasting, and even then geographical restrictions f*ck you over depending on the licensing agreements.
To be fair though, there are also posts every so often showing "xyz library in a single C header." It gets some of the love it deserves.

Yes! Synesthesia [1] is one argument for the "interference" theory I mentioned in my comment. Sometimes the wires get tangled and a sense goes to affect a different part of the brain. A strong dose of hallucinogen will surface this behaviour even in people that are usually unaffected.

I have a form of light synesthesia [2], where I intuitively see the concept of time and age as a three-dimensional line, that slowly morphs as I grow older. Whenever someone says "I'm x years old", I subconsciously place them somewhere on that line. (Now that I think of it, years too have a particular three dimensional structure in my mind)
