I don't think it was that different on the internet per se, but SE itself was relatively young at that point and more lax with its own rules. This early period is when you also had funny answers for bad questions, like using RegEx to parse HTML.

No, I'm just cutting out my consumption. I have a simple philosophy - if I don't want to pay for it I'm cool with not having it. I have prime, will probably be getting rid of that soon, at which point I'll only have Youtube Music/Premium.
Same for German, totally wrong grammar, so (hopefully?) auto-translated.
Slack probably has a lot of large - and very demanding - enterprise clients who absolutely require their non-trivial service suppliers to have infosec policies with a maximum of 72-hour notification window for security breaches. And I can guarantee that no company wants to have client-specific notification window policies in place. That way lies road to madness, missed commitments and nasty litigation.

It's a good practice, in all honesty. The time window is for the initial notification, after that there will be subsequent notifications when actual investigations complete.

> you can charge the Quest while using it

Yeah, but you need a really long cable or be restricted to sitting games. Most of my friends don't have that, only a short charging cable. (They use the WiFi linking for playing PC VR games)

And the one that does have a long cable fears using it for anything where you have to turn around, because there isn't much strain relief, and a broken USB port of a Quest in Brazil is an expensive repair.

> What is so unserious, disingenuous, and illegitimate about the “system”?

Some examples (I could write indefinitely):

https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/ponzi-hospitals-and-count... (section "Bank Error In Our Favor" is particularly offensive, to me)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War (this sort of thing (which is fairly common) is offensive to me, as is our culture's complacency towards it)

How it is (in part) perpetuated, in my estimation:

- I’m sure whatever the system is it isn’t perfect. But here I am using the “system” and living my life. [rationalization]

- I see so many strange comments on the internet that sound like “red-pilled” nonsense. [training-based heuristic pattern matching to ~bad/dumb/wrong]

- Could it be better and is there room for improvement? Absolutely. But living in parallel red pill reality is an absolutely unhelpful endeavor. [training-based heuristic pattern matching to ~bad/dumb/wrong + cultural normalization of hallucination of reality (in this case: the future)]

- After-all, you use the real system to have a life and so does everyone else. Might as well face that fact and truly engage with flesh and blood in the meat space rather than whatever or whoever is on red pill virtual land. [Stay within the Overton Window of ideas and behaviors one has been trained on]

> Where would you rather be and what is your improvement on the “system”?

b) we shall see, maybe

> If you have a good personal value proposition to society and aren’t completely entropic, life is good. If you aren’t, it’s hard.

Simplistically, and largely only in theory (as I don't doubt you'd agree with if we were to dig into the nitty gritty details, which we won't as that is contrary to well-established cultural norms, at least).

> That’s been modern western life for a while now and it’s not bad.

Not bad for a subset, of Westerners....but we are only a minority slice of the whole.

> I’m reminded of the Oracle at Delphi. “Know who you are” which means know your place in society (father, son, farmer, king etc and your responsibilities) and “everything in moderation”.

I will decide my place in society, despite where society [has been trained to] believe I "should" fit in, and behave. I like the "Oracle at Delphi" idea though, perhaps there's some unharvested utility there.

> Red pillers ignore that ancient wisdom and live in and obsess over an alternate almost completely fabricated virtual reality of no real value. Hanging out with suspicious and cynical strangers on the internet who share deep distrust of reality is depressing and isolating.

Know what's interesting about this: you don't actually know who red-pillers are, or what they are or believe. And you do not know you do not know, because of culture (which is composed of many things, most of them sub-perceptual, and many of them downright taboo).

Rethinking 2022: What’s Overlooked and Overhyped?
There isn't any reason people in America couldn't choose such things. They just don't. If the selling of the idea is failing, maybe the idea is the problem and not the people you're selling it to.
I would say it changed after 2016, the Brexit vote and Trump winning the presidency seemed to signal to the big social media companies that they needed to make changes, and this spread to many other sites too, perhaps with social momentum or perhaps simply because Google or Facebook et al can limit a site's audience if it won't act in a certain way.
Your reply is like textbook liberal American foreign policy. Another idea is Iran is developing those weapons to ensure their sovereignty against ruthless western influences. The version of democracy that the U.S. exports to other countries is easily manipulated by the American special interests. It is not done to promote human rights.
I hear, it’s doable and it works but very few people do it because it takes patience and care. Most of these services use dark patterns to lure users into not doing that. If a larger percentage of users did it streaming services would quickly change policies.

Seems like the article disagrees with you, do you have a more reliable source for what you're saying?

> Of the 52 components Ukrainians removed from the Iranian Shahed-136 drone, 40 appear to have been manufactured by 13 different American companies, according to the assessment.

> The remaining 12 components were manufactured by companies in Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan, and China, according to the assessment.

> According to the Ukrainian assessment, among the US-made components found in the drone were nearly two dozen parts built by Texas Instruments, including microcontrollers, voltage regulators, and digital signal controllers; a GPS module by Hemisphere GNSS; a microprocessor by NXP USA Inc.; and circuit board components by Analog Devices and Onsemi. Also discovered were components built by International Rectifier – now owned by the German company Infineon – and the Swiss company U-Blox.

So less than 12 of the components were manufactured in Asia, while 40 have been manufactured by US companies.

The article also finishes by linking together components with US companies who seem (at a glance / without digging deeper) to manufacture said components within US borders.

It can’t just be a me thing because when piracy showed up, it became a everyone thing. For it to return, it would return for all of us at the same time. The monetized ecosystems will metastasize to a point where everyone will go ‘the fuck? I think not’.
There is another theory that I haven't seen discussed in any other comment threads here:

that the anti-ai-art campaign people would have reported the repo en masse.

This has been done previously for several Patreon and Kickstarter projects, with at least one popular anti-ai-art Discord server having a channel where people do nothing but share links for users to bulk report.
Photographers would be better served concentrating on subject matter, body language, light and composition. I was just given a stack of stunning photography magazines from 1960s/70s Germany, printed on multiple types of paper and featuring some of the best photographers of all time, and having been used to crappy magazine reproduction, was simply gobsmacked at not just the content but also the quality of resolution and colour. The same thing happened to me when I visited the Magnum Archive at the Harry Ransom Center in Texas and handled original prints. The standard of photography has no correlation to the improvements in technical representation.

Still using my Leica Q2, Canon 5DIV, Fuji X-M1 and Pentax 645Z alongside my iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone isn't replacing any of them for photographers with the skills to nail pictures.

> This is social media style moderation being applied to a website that is more similar to infrastructure or a library.

I don't know anything about the immediate situation here but calling GitHub "infrastructure" is not accurate. I know every man and his dog hosts their repos there but GitHub is a private company (owned by Microsoft!) and is not obliged to host things that it thinks will make it look bad.
Why Amazon and not investors? Investors can pay those people to do something more useful than Amazon's best ideas at the moment.
It's not about bad people not willing to pay, it's about your employer or their partners trying to milk consumer with different platforms and artificial restrictions. When you push too far, people will try alternatives ways (potentially illegal) or stop watching.

Sure, you will always find some people who will never pay. Focusing your business on this audience doesn't sound smart.

Just design something convenient and most people will be happy to pay. Basically, I wouldn't blame people for the current streaming landscape.
The 486 was such a massive improvement over the 386. And the DX2/66 felt like almost as big of an improvement over the 25/33MHz 486's.

The 486 landscape was weird. You had crippled, 386-like versions such as the 486DLC/SLC, Intel's DX4's that hit 75 or 100MHz, and clones that went up to somewhere around 133MHz (by this time the Pentiums had hit the streets, so the 486's on steroids were for budget users). And they were often given similar sounding names to the 586, to further confuse buyers.

It was amazing, and infuriating, to have your decently high-end system basically obsoleted in two generations. And, the DOS to Windows transition didn't help matters. It seems really odd in a time where you could still be using a 10 year old i7 and be just fine.

See Lithium-Sulphur which has a theoretical limit of ~2500 wh/kg vs ~250 wh/kg of todays lithium batteries. So you're looking at up 10x improvement, if we can get to 1000 wh/kg that's your 4x.

LLMs have not 'solved' either language or common sense. They will unknowingly and quite blatantly contradict themselves, for instance.
You have the generations there a bit off. Zen 1/2 were 4-core CCXs and it was Zen 3 that switched to 8 core CCXs. Zen 2 is what introduced the CCD, but kept Zen 1's CCX.

18k is huge because Amazon has been killing off entire teams, managers and all, instead of doing the typical Jack Welch decimation tactics.
Given how many search-paired images Bing has I'd expect them to have a much better dataset and much better quality creations, so this is a little disappointing.

"Phasing", perhaps. "Phased", not yet...

That's fair and it's true of a lot of AI/ML versions of content. I still paid for human transcriptions of podcasts when I was doing them because the time needed to clean up the ML versions just wasn't a good return. But the day will certainly come when that calculus changes.

I know nothing about the economics of audiobooks. And will note that there are free public domain audio books already https://librivox.org/. But TTS will improve and, at a minimum, improved TTS will be a benefit for people who can't read for various reasons.

They absolutely can, and this is a major FAANG recruiting strategy.
I’m far less inclined than I used to be. I’ve reached the equilibrium of not being interested in what I can’t afford or don’t need. I have two streaming services and I don’t need any commercial software at the moment, and I limit my software exploration to what’s freely available. I’m kinda over the whole piracy, information-wants-to-be-free thing.

Iran is about as meddlesome in other sovereign states’ affairs as America is. They work to export their influence as much as we do. We do it more and better because we’re bigger. But it’s the same impulse.

So sure, they’re developing nukes to protect their regime. I’m not sure how that’s a hot take, it’s why we have war. The problem is with what and to whom that regime likes doing.

For women who have low body fat it will be more irregular because of insufficient estrin provided by adipose tissue. A woman with poor diet and low body fat would be irregular.

Spring season is a time of abundance and fertility for plants and animals so I imagine Hunter gatherer societies had a better diet during spring and therefore women met body fat requirements for regular menstrual cycle and ovulation.

The article specifically says 'manufactured' by American companies; I'm not sure how the geographic location of the factory is relevant.

There was no demand, though, not for these roles.

These companies already know how to hire temp contractors, which is cheaper and cleaners than layoffs with severance.

The real answer is that they pretended the Covid money fountain wouldn't end.
Again, with the idea it’s just a willpower thing to overcome some hurdle. The “panic period” is permanent for many obese people. There’s literally no end to fighting your body once you’ve lost substantial weight, it’s ALWAYS trying to lower metabolism and increase hunger to compensate. It’s not a few months and then you’re good, it’s forever. This is why a treatment like this is so necessary.
Norway has the luxury of exporting pollution the rest of the planet as a means of financing their pivot to green technology at home. Not every country can do that.

Taken in isolation, it's an interesting case study in EVs, but I'd be careful about extrapolating too much.
My thoughts exactly.

Solving (or mitigating) the "they're bypassing sanctions" problem is easier than the "they can manufacture everything then need" problem.
Good questions.

It’s always been a problem but I’d say these factors make it worse:

1. It’s harder for individuals or small groups to make breakthroughs. We need larger groups and more expertise as well as expensive equipment to continue making discoveries.
More hands in the pie make more gatekeepers and less risk taking.

2. In general our entire society is “circling the wagons”. I’m not sure why but we’re more tribal than normal. Science isn’t immune from the trend.

I could go on. It’s a big topic.
I think this is true, but currently you can coax e.g. stable diffusion to generate art in the style of a specific person, and if you do things right, it will even have a smudge-y version of their monogram/signature in the bottom right.

Pretty clear indication that something is not yet 'transformative enough', IMO.

Same happens with Copilot and such - you can get it to spit out tens of lines of code verbatim pulled from someone else's project, with comments and all.

These kinds of things just don't sit right with me.

Iron nitride is effectively unlimited but manufacturing is difficult. Rare earths are more limited. Monazite isn't exceptionally rare, it's just mining it is quite awful.
This will depend on the specific threat model for the sensitive data you are dealing with, but generally files in an SSD can't be destroyed securely (and shred specifically does not help due to wear leveling).

Instead, you may want to encrypt your disk so that as soon as the key is gone it all becomes unreadable. For a bigger threat, maybe you need to follow the NIST destroy guidelines [1] to "Disintegrate, Pulverize, Melt, and Incinerate" the media.

Oops, thanks for the catch. That is just a typo though, so the following price is still correct (500 * $0.25 == $125). Retail price per blade is $0.20 - $0.25.

I've thought about the price premium and think it could go either way. The blades from at least one manufacturer are already produced from a single ribbon before being separated, so the process to produce longer blades shouldn't be too different (hopefully!). And if there's a 2x premium, that's fine, if its closer to 10x I would re-evaluate.

Investors conclude that Tesla is a carmaker, not a tech firm
Sure, you can operate at a significantly higher cost base with more people and more equipment traveling more miles to achieve the same outcome with less emissions, but that's a bit weak.

Best way to get much broader adoption of EV's in transport is to use them where they will work best, rather than burn peoples fingers with projects that introduce huge operational issues.

Remember, one of the key rules of transport management is "reduce idle fleet", so telling a transport manager to save emissions by having loads of fleet idle is a bit like telling a CIO to reduce energy use by giving their developers smaller monitors and taking the graphics cards out of their computers.

Has it been verified that they actually use these instructions in Accelerate.framework? I just benchmarked this on my 2019 intel i9 mbp, and got the following speeds for 128x128 matrices, 32 repeats:

That's a pretty big deal if these functions are >30x faster on the M1...!
