That it would prevent spread was itself a lie. That came out of nowhere in the first few months of 2021, when up until that point we knew they hadn't tested for it.

The propaganda worked and that got memory holed hard, until some months ago when people were surprised to learn the testing didn't include infection/transmission.

So some of us knew the whole time, and the push to vaccinate children was all sorts of weird.

Is it a stronger argument if there is a proof establishing an upper bounds of "pathological derangement" with regard to large language model AI?

Wonder if that would lead to regulations around language model "strength tiers," and whether certain industries will even allow Copilot or ChatGPT-like code.
If one develops a habit of meditating on their affirmations, the ideas within the affirmations are more likely to come to mind during an emotional incident and help to regulate behavior towards the desired outcome.

The "coming to mind" of valuable self-regulating ideas is "mindfulness". Yes. It's subjective. That's OK. And yes, it may not work for everyone. People are different and have different ways of reacting and different levels of self-awareness.
I have no idea, something wrong on their end. I think they corrected it by now.
Is China About to Destroy Encryption as We Know It?
Hardly, if it was a variant of Waterfall you wouldn't have testing mixed in with the development of new code. Waterfall has explicit barriers between the development and test phases which is why those systems usually turn out to be clusterfucks (unless they're small or you have, usually by luck, a correct specification). In real-world Waterfall projects (which I have suffered through, worst was a multi-billion dollar disaster for tax payers, and a multi-billion dollar success for the contractors that we took it over from), testing happens after development which means you have no useful feedback while developing that you are building the wrong thing or building it incorrectly.
I think it's worth pointing out that this only happens in the US because in most other countries regulations mandate immobilisers (the car can't move unless the keys are in the ignition/present). Is there any reason why this isn't a thing in the US?
Test driven development on one project would often save me weeks per bug fix.

This was because it maintained an environment where I could replicate portions of the business logic (as assembled modules) outside a production environment. This made it much easier to do analysis/fuzzing of one component of the system, vs trying to replicate and do post-mortem crash analysis on the entire deployed system.

But I clarify this is TDD, not unit tests. A development methodology where unit tests are wedged in after the fact do not promote the sort of modular programming needed to be able to do this.

It's more than lame, its an awful bastardization of how our trade should be evolving. The only real accountability that can be made is to become financially independent and just start building your own things. Ship to market and not fret about revenue growth.
I don't really see how this is such a serious problem. Again, there isn't a right to privacy from the air.

And if someone wants to stalk you, it's far more cost-effective to hire someone to follow you physically. This doesn't change that. And just to be clear, I'm obviously not condoning stalking. Just saying this is a pretty bad tool for it.

So I don't see anything "nuclear" about this whatsoever.

(Also to be clear, the highest resolution available is half-meter. All you can do is basically figure out whether a car is present somewhere and its approximate color maybe. It's hard to establish the presence of a human at all, and you certainly can't tell who they are or read a license plate or anything even close to that.)

It's possible, but I have concerns with blu-rays.

1. Bluray drives are becoming increasingly rare. Few people are buying them (because many stream) which is slowly killing the market.

2. Blurays tend to be much more finichy with read errors (unfortunately). A little dust or a bad pressed disk and the entire episode is lost :(

3. Blurays aren't being produced. Sure, you can get bluray movies still, but for tv series it's becoming REALLY rare for a bluray to be produced. Funnily, you'll often find DVDs for tv series before blurays (even for brand new shows).

> which lost 6.3 percent of its population between 2019 and 2021, a rate of decline larger than any two year-period in Detroit’s history

This is not an apples to apples comparison?

> Detroit’s fall was primarily driven by the relocation of the US auto industry to southern, right-to-work states, where auto producers, including foreign firms who build autos here, have avoided the union conflict that was endemic in Detroit. San Francisco’s decline is driven by absurdly bad local economic policies.

That's not what drove San Francisco's primarily. No mention of home prices? cost of living? or the pandemic?
This might be technically correct but doesn't seem to matter much in practice because of how many practical cases of NN outputting copyright-infriging content there are. These include examples in the recent lawsuits that made the rounds on HN. Either even the best specialists behind these NNs cannot make the NNs not contain data that is "massively overrepresented or cliche", or they are unwilling to.
Apple doesn’t place any restrictions on doing this, in fact they have set it all up to make install Linux as convenient as possible without directly adding drivers to Linux.

Mainline Linux can now run all the critical features of apple silicon laptops and the remaining stuff like power management is really just waiting on someone to work out what the best way to modify Linux to support it would be.

The rate of houselessness has actually been decreasing. But I expect the rate of forced relocation by neighboring towns is also increasing

I've lived in 3 suburbs so far and all 3 of them bus their houseless folks to the nearest city. The cops often take all their stuff in the process too so they usually lose everything and are especially vulnerable once they arrive
Microsoft has never had a monorepo.

There's a Windows monorepo, and a monorepo for chunks of Office, but even now that many teams are on Git they're still very much different repos with different build tools, different code search (maybe they fixed some of that in the last few years but none of my friends there have mentioned it if so), different coding standards, and more.

The Agile manifesto is entirely about making boring things happen for loosed integrated teams. It was created by a forum of consultants that wrote CRUD for random companies.

It is certainly not universal. As an example, if you want to make something great, it has absolutely no relation to your problem.
Between weather (Miami and Houston both regularly suffer weather conditions that can kill from exposure), geography (SF is uniquely constrained, it's almost like an island), and reputation (SF has historically been considered both a cultural and queer refuge, and queer people make up a large amount of the unsheltered), you have a series of unique factors that make SF an ideal destination for homeless people, or people on the brink of homelessness.

Now, add Regan's removal of mental health services (something we're still dealing with today), skyrocketing rent (removing the bottom rung of renting), and a sudden population pressure, and you have a uniquely awful set of circumstances.

And no, this does not absolve SF and Bay Area leadership. They have repeatedly thrown money at the problem without any accountability whatsoever, but if the unique factors that affect SF were to hit Miami or Houston, they'd probably find themselves with the same problem overnight.

McMurdo is on the edge of the continent, at sea level. It's harsh, but not extreme like the things further inland, such as Amundsen-Scott (at the geographic pole), or Concordia (over 10,000 feet elevation in the middle of nowhere). Those look closer to the spaceships you envision.
In this specific case it is not very complicated and actually pretty close to unzip, edit config and run. I have deployed it on a Raspberry running FreeBSD, so Docker is not an option.

The backend server is written in Go and after building it only a single binary has to be deployed. A second repository contains the frontend (HTML, JS) which you copy to a path that you make available via your webserver. That's basically it.

None of what you have posted is surprising. None of it changes the equation dictating build schedule. None of it favors nukes in any role.

There is no need for "ten times" overbuild. Instead, you just need a backup generator you can fuel at need.

Any tropical country can put up a solar farm and start exporting synthetic fuel. Until those are built, we can burn NG in shortfalls, at radically reduced average total carbon output.

Building storage after you have enough renewable overbuild to charge it from, in normal conditions, incrementally reduces duty cycle on the generator. So, for a utility, a 1.5x overbuild and a few hours' 1x storage means they hardly ever run it. A transmission line to a neighboring utility cuts the fuel bill more, and makes selling excess easier.

At home, with a grid tie-in, you need the generator only when a tree takes out the lines, and you can sell excess most days. A low duty-cycle backup generator should be, above other considerations, cheap. Don't you have one? They are cheap.

In the future, 10x overbuild will be much cheaper than today, and would reduce your residual backup fuel bill if you care enough, and you can sell more power, most days.

The correct course for a public utility is to focus on exceeding 1x average renewable generating capacity, and then add a bit of very dispatchable and quickly built storage--batteries. After that, incrementally overbuild, and add cheapest usable storage--not batteries--still using the combined-cycle gas turbine at need. The more overbuild and storage they add, the better things get. Maybe add some fuel synthesis equipment and tankage, and sell excess beyond local tankage.

For home, keep your generator and/or grid tie-in ready. At 13 kW nameplate, you can usefully add some battery to carry you past peak evening price and, with a bit more, through most nights.

Your neighbors with 4 kW are substantially reducing their power bill. There was no expectation of anything else.
I'm sorry, but it does. Docker compose at least.
If you run NixOS you get a similar experience because it’s often just services.foo.enable = true; edit a couple options to your needs and you‘re good to go. :-)

> It says it uses "ML applications, APIs and cloud products" to prevent online credit fraud.

I worked as a contractor for CapOne for 9 months, in Richmond VA, in 1996/7.

I was a tech, but I worked mostly on applications to help the fraud team. In those days, I think CapOne was ahead of the curve in automating banking. The fraud team were working to a checklist, with lots of computer assistance. They were always frazzled, because they were customer-facing. They kept themselves to themselves, and they had a high turnover.

In the canteen, I sometimes tried to eavesdrop on their conversations. They were always just grumbling. It must have been a shitty job.

Yes, agreed, I don't think the problem is with networks that mix tons of input data in a way that doesn't heavily derive from one or a couple of sources. The currently available models do not have overfitting solved, though, and this technological imperfection also has direct practical (and legal) consequences.
Unpopular take: The only parties served by returning to windowed theater releases are ... drum roll ... movie critics like the author.

Seeing a movie in a theater is like renting a meal experience at a restaurant.

Movie theaters are big-screen TVs for people without money or space or desire for a home theater, or people wanting a change from of home viewing.

Today's 85" TVs with 5.1, 7.2, etc., sound, and seats sufficiently close to the screen (it's not about the absolute size, it's about the viewing angle!), are a higher quality experience than the theater with (a) no risk of misbehaving strangers, (b) whatever refreshments you enjoy, (c) whatever you want to see, and (d) always "the best seats in the house".

There will always be boutique and chain theaters as others have mentioned, just as there are both high end and fast food restaurants. And people wanting a change from home viewing will go to theaters.

Games with "windows" are absolutely the wrong way to think about it, taking choice away from both sets of humans, but they do give critics a way to expense their entertainment, and with critics important to getting butts out of homes into the theater, critic "power" gives critics access to hollywood.

OF COURSE critics want the window back.

You can boil it down to saying that Scrum is either (a) micromanagement or (b) an admission that your developers and their managers suck.

Fix the problem, instead of slapping a bureaucratic band-aid on that's going to attrit any remaining quality developers.

Life as a 21st-Century Trucker
An original streaming-only movie or tv show will never be on a DVD at a library. I would say it is almost an -service- to society to continue to torrent content that has been edited or purged by major platforms.
We do that with "almost everything"? I can't think of anything.

I don't think e.g. phone service is comparable, because while you might not pay when the service is down, the service's uptime doesn't depend on you. If you destroy your cell phone, you can't use the service, but the service is still working.

If you sold "medicine as a service", it would just include that, but it couldn't guarantee that you'd always be healthy, no matter what choices you made.
Huh! And light weight. Actually makes sense too.

The things you learn here...

Incidentally, reminded me, I'd heard opuntia spines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opuntia AKA prickly pear) were used for the needles waaaay back. Can't find a ref but heard it on a TV program. FYI.

That’s probably a valid point. I would liken that to car lots but most of them at least publicly post a starting price. I guess it’s no wonder why I instinctively steer clear.
I wish this article had mentioned the greatest thing about DVDs:

You can lend them. Have a friend over and find out they have never seen <insert meaningful show or movie here> before?! No need to quick search and figure out if it's on a streaming service they have, just walk over and snatch it off your shelf and hand it to them.

In the 00s the trade in media lending was so brisk my friends and I would keep spreadsheets and little databases of who-borrowed-what-from-whom. There's even a DVD little lending library in my neighborhood. Not to mention the public library system has tons of physical media to choose from.

I love streaming and rarely turn to physical media these days, but as my kids get older and want to watch the same things over-and-over-and-over... building that DVD collection out again is looking really appealing.

I suppose you should do it the other way round: there is a rumour, you see if it is true rather than assuming it is true and try to find evidence if it is true.
It's risky to presume that most people are unfamiliar with the feeling.

About 3.8% of the world population, or about 300 million people are affected by depression (WHO 2021). It seems safe to assume that (1) the true figure is under-reported and (2) those affected are connected to others who can also deeply relate in some way.

Personally, I know all too what what that feeling is like. The solution for me was finding people who could speak truth with love, and just time. Knowing that we're all in the same boat gives me more -- not less -- reason to make the ride count.
Maybe he'll make the pronunciation of "Han" consistent someday.
Skew is fundamental to my point.
Fair enough.

But although the most dangerous words in history are "this time is different", there are reasons to believe things could be different this time:

1. the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. NuScale got the design approval from them. That means this design is as good as frozen. The NRC is an extraordinarily conservative organization. If NuScale, or anyone who licenses their technology, will try to diverge from the approved design by a bit, ..., well that's not even a possibility, why should we think of consequences. So this design, by the time is in production, won't be heavier, more complex, or narrower in scope, because it will be this exact design. It may be more expensive, late, in fewer numbers than expected, however.

2. Conservativeness of the design. This reactor is just a pressurized water reactor design. The most widely used today. It's in a small form factor and modular, but otherwise there's nothing revolutionary or radical about it.

3. History. After about 70 years of reactor operation, the NRC has seen lots and lots of failure modes. The number of new failure modes to be discovered is not zero for sure, but it asymptotically approaches zero. The reason for a lot of past construction delays was the moving of the goalposts by the NRC, but that was due to the discovery of new failure modes, not to any malicious intent. The goalposts may still move between now and 2029, but much less.

4. Politics. In the past few decades, at least in the US, the left was against nuclear power, and the right was for it. Now it appears a large number on the left have embraced nuclear power, so some form of bipartisanship has been achieved. This is quite unprecedented. Will it last? Probably not forever, but it might last a few election cycles, and this could be enough for this SMR design to achieve some escape velocity.
