Interesting title, useless content. Video seems to be just a collection of document screenshots. Faking search warrants is a serious issue, but the compiler of this collection would have a lot more impact by adding a few hundred words to explain the point of the site instead of leaving it as a puzzle for the reader.

Is this an attack on bad prosecutors in general? Is the website author the victim of prosecutorial harassment? I can't easily tell, and after 5 minutes lost interest in trying to figure it out.
Even the article you linked suggests prohibition isn't the solution. It suggests a more balanced approach, i.e. regulation.

That is what Oregon is trying with psilocybin.

edit:

This also misses an important part of this whole conversation, personal liberty. I don't want to have my government determining what I can and cannot consume, as long as I can do so without causing others harm.

You gotta make a game of it. I crafted a tape rewinder made from an old ballpoint pen and bent paperclip that held the cassette as I whirled it around. Like a '80s fidget spinner.

Women have meaningfully been part of the workforce since at least the 70's. Both of my silent generation grandmothers worked outside of the home most of their lives.

Immigration has increased since the mid century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_the_United_Stat... but I don't think many low skill jobs would exclude a native born applicant
Exactly right. Typical solar installations keep you on the grid. And when the grid goes out, so do you.

To become grid-independent adds substantial expense. Having your own battery adds another $10-20k, along with whatever costs are associated with switching the grid.

Also, being off-grid is actually illegal in some places.
My project is to diversify the SPC community spaces by adding one in Virginia, that totally embodies the permission slip concept, primarily in the makerspace dept. The location is on commercial roadfront property that I hold the deed to, so it will never be killed by needing to pay rent, etc. The property is 150m from 5g tower, has fiber, etc. Area 26 Kthx
I think from the article the viruses don’t target the ciliates at all but rather algae. That explains (a). I expect b and c are answerable with gradients and membrane mumbojumbo, but a programmer not a microbiologist. I actually like the study author am surprised that this hasn’t been observed before. I would have expected viruses are food for something - as it notes they’re little bundles of tasty proteins and useful elements.
GPT, how do I prove that...?
The amount of error correction you need is more than what the five qubit code provides. A more typical estimate is that you'd need 1000 physical qubits per logical qubit.

For example, using the surface code, a back of the envelope estimate would be that you need a code distance of d = ln(number_of_operations). Each logical qubit will use 2d^2 physical qubits. So for a million operations you'd need around 400 physical qubits per logical qubit and for a trillion operations you'd need around 1500 physical qubits per logical qubit. So, way more than 5.

(A major practical obstacle to using almost-anything-that-isn't-the-surface-code is that the surface code has forgiving connectivity and maximum-allowed-physical-noise requirements.)
Yes, but that's not what a ward means, a ward is a person who technically is under the protection of the state. That some states abuse the situation is a separate issue. It does not make you property.
If P == NP, then it could be possible that a proof would show that an algorithm must exist without providing such an algorithm. But that approach wouldn't be necessary, actually showing an algorithm would of course also be a proof.

> To rephrase if this is not the case - what value does solving P = NP provide?

P vs NP is a question of enormous practical interest. But it's also a very interesting question of pure mathematics. A proof that P != NP, or a proof of P == NP that didn't provide an algorithm would still be a huge deal in the math and computer science world.
> Avoid writing huge, long rambling comments and try to simplify your arguments to less than 100 words. You may find the fault, and the fix, becomes obvious.

If you don't want to read the comment, then also don't bother responding. The comment is long because I am explaining a death by a thousand paper cuts situation. Don't worry, Python isn't going to die just because I don't like it. You don't have to defend Python even if you don't feel like reading my comment. You can also just ignore it or come back to it when you have time to engage with it thoughtfully, instead of just asserting you are correct and having your only argument be that I can't fit my argument to the arbitrary word length you've come up with.

> Those where the first that came to mind. There are many others, and many more if you widen it to server-side JS.

You should stick to talking about Python. This is just not the case and not the culture of browser JS. It's honestly fairly disrespectful of the monumental work browser engineers have done to make that a reality. If you want to switch your argument to server-side JS (where blink and alert don't exist and you are thus leaving it completely as an exercise to the reader to come up with the similar situation), fine, but node 0.10 runs exactly the same today as it did 10 years ago. Again, the bar I am setting is low: have the unchanged thing still gettable and still runnable. I get it. When you work in a certain environment, you imagine all the problems it has must be common and all the benefits are unique. But that isn't the case with this particular problem.
The magic method resolution seems much more intriguing to me than the infinite array. Are there any programming languages (or perhaps a better word would be paradigms), that take this concept further?

I would imagine that I just state comments in my code file. Then, at runtime, all code is produced by the language model, and then executed.

There's the issue of the model producing different generative results with each execution. But maybe that could be taken care off by adding doctests within my comments. Which could, of course, be mostly generated by another language model...
For those you need an automatic transfer switch (ATS), such as the Enphase Enpower. Such devices contain circuitry to automatically manage disconnecting your home from the grid, so you 1) maintain power in the home (at least on the critical circuits you decide on), and 2) don't island your home (so linemen don't die).
> I'm not an AI specialist, but for what I know, current AI are nothing more than fine tuned statistic algorythm.

Yes, but Google Page Rank is just fancy matrix multiplication and worth a fortune, while the finely tuned statistics that is machine learning (specifically chatGPT) knows more about CSS and German than I do:

~~~~

Me: Erzählen Sie bitte wie ich kann ein div tag mit schwarzes hintergrund, dreihundert px hoch und 24 pixels wide machen mit css

chatGPT: Um ein div-Tag mit einem schwarzen Hintergrund, 300px hoch und 24px breit zu erstellen, könntest du den folgenden CSS-Code verwenden:

div {
background-color: black;
height: 300px;
width: 24px;
}

Um den CSS-Code anzuwenden, kannst du ihn entweder in einem style-Tag innerhalb deines HTML-Dokuments oder in einer externen CSS-Datei platzieren und dann per link-Tag in deinem HTML-Dokument einbinden.

Beispiel:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div {
background-color: black;
height: 300px;
width: 24px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
</body>
</html>

~~~~

The actual HTML and CSS it gave me is multiple lines and sensibly indented, don't know a convenient way to mark a block as pre-formatted. Note that chatGPT understood me correctly even though I forgot the German for "wide" and switched to English for one word only.

(I do know more CSS than is in this example; I used chatGPT over the weekend to update my website, and it solved two problems that I didn't know pure CSS could even do, but that conversation is too big to bother putting into a comment here).
Class invariants are very useful in domain-driven development allowing you to have contracts between modules/services that can’t break the underlying business rules. You would probably like them if you spent some time reading about them and compare it to your error/exception handling logic to deal with incorrect values.

LG enabled tracking without my consent.

I have an LG C8 OLED. I wanted the convenience of a smart TV without being tracked so I carefully went through every setting and turned it all off. I followed an article detailing what all the tracking settings were, how to disable them, etc.

I deliberately disabled all tracking options years ago.

Imagine my surprise a couple of weeks back when I looked in the settings. All of it was magically enabled again. Personalised ads, screen recognition, you name it, all switched on. How long for is anyones guess.

My trust for smart TVs is at an all time low.
I have the same experience with my LG C2. One thing that I can recommend is buying a decent router that can segment LAN traffic. This way you can connect the TV to your local network to utilize the Homekit functionality, but block all outbound internet traffic.
Debugging that must've been a PITA for sure.
This is an interesting statement to me, especially as the original paper from Hinton notes that it converges more slowly than traditional algorithms.

I like the new shiny shiny too, but I've been in this field too long to chase all the new stuff that comes along (and I do love me some Hinton too). I thought about FF for this application but didn't see anything that would make it work in this context, is there anything in particular that you were seeing that would benefit us in this particular usecase?
SGCL never stops the threads.
The article cites 3 people, two at 39 weeks and one at 37. Term is 35 (but inducing that early isn't ideal, 37 is the earliest you want to go if you can choose).

Those are all term and all very safe.

Most prisoners are dangerous. The idea that you got busted for an 1oz of weed and went to prison isn't aligned to reality. If you are in prison (not jail) then you went through the full sentancing dance and weren't eligible for a supervised release or a program. That usually means you either keep committing crime or did serious crime. You didn't steal a bicycle.
If welding paid, I'd be doing that rather than sitting at my computer dealing with corporate bullshit. I didn't get a degree but I'm still sitting here coding and not welding. I'm just saying I think there's more to the issue than that we sent people to college. The trades just don't pay well enough.
How can you tell in advance if a TV needs to be connected to the internet to work? We just plug computers/iPhones to ours via HDMI, and we never connect the TV directly to the internet.

The last thing we'd want is to get a TV home, get it unwrapped and plugged in, and then have to take it back because it won't turn on without an internet connection. And I wouldn't trust a Best Buy salesperson to be knowledgeable/honest about this.

I realize there are some signage brands that never require this, but often there are great deals on Samsung/Vizio/etc. units at Best Buy/Costco, and I'd rather get one of those if I can use it in offline mode.

From my time speaking to Fediverse long-timers, no, this is not the case.

>I disagree that build your own YouTube is a “high” bar, outside of money. (...) It is just ridiculously expensive.

I'm not sure what you mean. That it's not rocket science? Well, yes, it isn't. It's not the technology: money (and to a second extend, entrenchment and network effects, and ties with Android, and many other non-tech things) IS of course the huge, sky-high, bar, to building an alternative YouTube.

>Castles, mercenary armies, and conquering land are comparable much, much more difficult.*

Well, it was quite a lot of mobility in the feudal ranks. Any competent mercenary could rise to be a higher ranking soldier, and any compenent and cunning higher ranking soldier could, and often did, take on some existing feudal lords, and get their own smaller or bigger fiefdom. After some point, even succesful merchants could get their own armies and castles and be feudal "nobility". Tons of stories from the feudal times (that was what all of cross-feudal fighting was about), and thousands of castles and fiefdoms - and that's just in Europe.

Whereas Youtube? That's one service of its size/scale in the world, covering multiple billions of people.

That would be more like trying to get something competitive not to a feudal lord (which were a dime a dozen), but to the whole of an empire.
Ours was anywhere. You come across what seems like a frustrated client in a pharmacy, you identify yourself and help. I've helped people who expressed anger at social events. Can't always fix the issue but the company's app has a place for staff to escalate, so it's easy to kickstart the process.
I wouldn't give Google too much credit here. Almost all of my love for Youtube is based on the creators which are on the platform. The platform itself is quite user-hostile, has bad UX, gives poor recommendations, and has too many overly obtrusive repetitive poorly-targeted advertisements. To me, Google is fully responsible for all of the bad, but can claim little of the good.
No, you'd don't need net metering to make it viable.

In a typical grid-tied system, the setup is such that any demand is fulfilled first by solar capacity, and second from the grid. If your array can fulfill 100% (or more) of your demand, then you pull nothing from the grid.

If you don't have a net metering arrangement and you regularly produce more than 100% of your local demand, then your options are to simply throw away the excess, or use a battery system to store it for later use.

If you have a net metering agreement, then the grid acts like a giant battery, which may or may not have input and output fees (think of it very roughly like Amazon S3 pricing). Ideally you have a 1:1 arrangement, where you can feed energy into the grid for free, and pull back up to whatever you supplied at parity pricing (eg: for free). But, there is no reason a utility company has to offer that arrangement, they could charge you some fee to supply energy if they wanted, and they could charge you some fee to pull energy back.

For the most part, the most cost effective solar systems will supply about 75-80% of your average monthly demand. It almost never a good investment to overbuild your solar system on the premise of making money off of net metering, as the rate you are paid for production is essentially a wholesale price, making you a micro power plant, which is not a very profitable business. Covering the bulk of your energy usage with your own solar supply, and then pulling a minimum amount of power from the grid to fill the gaps will tend to keep you at the best supply pricing tier.
Also anyone interested @mroldpro on telegram. The site is currently a bit lush, so machete is required for access. Yes, you must hack in to visit currently :)
Because with net metering you can generally sell at a much higher price than the wholesale rate. It was a loophole that is now going away.
OP wasn't planning a devious plan here. The 6 month contract seems standard from the company side. They shoot themselves on the foot and the loan just got voided. OP would be paying the company for nothing without a new loan

> (7 months instead of 6, we're not talking about multiple years later here)

Maybe this is a disagreement based on past experiences, but the most infuriating thing when working with home contractors is chasing them around so they do they finish their job. I get if this were business to business transaction that are used to year long delays, but as a person I find having a half finished ceiling to by a big disruption in my daily life.
Being fair OP didn't say anything about having to fix their roof before installing the solar panels, but having to put up with business delays in your home projects isn't the most pleasant experience.

If we go to the ethical side of things, in this case the company installed something without doing proper diligence in their part. This could have been solved if they presented a new contract in OP home when they went to install the panels. Paying without a loan would have been foolish from OP side, same if he paid it at the more expensive 2022 prices. In fact OP would probably be forced to do if they asked him about it before installing the panels. This would be unethical from the company side: delaying 6+ months the installation and proposing a more expensive loan before installation.

Let's not skip the company trying to swindle OP to pay without a proper contract by scaring him. Some of us may be used to this kind of threats. Doesn't mean they are ethical at all. They should have been upfront with the problem from the beginning, not bullying people with scary letters.
It's nice they give you an instant quote, but they don't give enough info for me to be willing to take the next step.

Basic things like:

What is the physical size of the quoted panels?

The KW rating they give, is that actual power delivered, or rated power?

If rated power, how much actual power would they expect given my geographical location, and angle of roof.

How much of the roof are they covering?

They want $100 for the next step - presumably I would get those answers then, but I'm not willing to risk $100 without knowing more.

It looks pretty good as it stands, I think - to spend too much time on these arguments is to play their game.

Having said that, I would add a note about the whole category of ontological or "nothing but" arguments - saying that an LLM is nothing but a fancy database, search engine, autocomplete or whatever. There's an element of question-begging when these statements are prefaced with "they will never lead to machine understanding because...", and beyond that, the more they are conflated with everyday technology, the more noteworthy their performance appears.
