Very true; Lattice Semi’s ECP5 is a fairly decent FPGA with very mature support from Yosys/nextpnr/trellis.

Xilinx’ Artix-7/Kintex-7 are much more powerful FPGAs and the support for those is getting to be pretty good (DDR3 support is steadily maturing)

It would be nice to see a vendor
actually officially supporting these efforts. Maybe one day.

(Not to mention various open source FPGAs - actual chips - being developped)
That's interesting. I really like watching other people's prompts. I'll look into it this weekend!
This new level of content understanding & summarizing is huge.

My young son uses YouTube for tutorials to learn programming and 3D apps. But I really struggle because he's come across objectionable content as well, and the tools YouTube provides for moderation or filtering are completely worthless. They don't care. I'm only left to think they want our kids to see controversial and even radicalizing content because it increases engagement metrics.

AI that can prescreen videos?! Regaining some feeling of control and confidence about the content that comes into my house?! I AM SO IN!

I have no interest in censoring anyone else or limiting access for others. I just want to have some agency over what my kids are exposed to without removing the actual knowledge share advantages that the internet can and does provide.
>But how can one opt out of this game?

Move to alternative webs such as Gopher or Gemini, which make it impractical / impossible to monetize based on clicks / engagement / amount of content. The issue isn't that you can generate spam. The issue is that you can make money by doing so.

Not sure about the downvotes, I've read some serious articles with very graphic pictures more than 20 years ago about mass organized organ harvests operations running very effectively as you describe.

It may not be some official state policy but rather some rogue effort from corrupt local officials in few places, but numbers were running in thousands per year at least, and they didn't even try to hide it too much since reporter(s) were allowed on execution fields and operating places. Murderers, drug traffickers, addicts and dissidents alike.

Given even back then critical organs were running in tens of thousands of dollars for mostly western/arabic receivers who were too low in donor list in their countries or didn't qualify (ie heavy smokers / drinkers refusing to quit). Imagine what some 20k or 50k meant in china some 25 years ago.
> For the ones in the article, the people sending them to the recycler seem to be refusing to unlock the devices and want them destroyed. Perhaps Apple should take back these machines for refurb in such a case (especially since they’re quite new)

That seems to be the obvious solution: let Apple reset them completely, wiping out anything that could possible store any data, and make the components usable again. As long as Apple doesn't pay out any more than the shipping & handling of the laptops, there's no profit motive so the theft protection is still there but the planet is just a little bit greener and happier.
> And I don't see how there's anything to back up this assumption

I present to you, some pretty good data: the time Rhode Island "accidentally" legalized prostitution for a number of years, and then made it illegal again, and the correlations to public health that seemed to result from this:

https://whyy.org/articles/prostitution-decriminalized-rhode-...

Scroll down to the section "Researchers take notice" if you are low on time.

They used surrounding states as a control. They tried hard to account for the consequences, but that pesky 40% drop in gonorrhea and 30% drop in rapes (!) just wouldn't go away (and also doesn't fit the feminist narrative that rape is "only about power")

There's also no convincing evidence (just cherrypicked data that is either pro- or con-) that legalizing prostitution results in more sex trafficking.

> Sex workers may individually choose to tolerate that or may not

Funny thing about you saying that, they can't choose anything if it's illegal- if it's legal, they can not only choose, they can bring legal charges against anyone who mistreats them.
The "old guard boy's club" has been around a long time, and is still around. The gatekeeping/exclusionary mindset cannot die off fast enough as far as I am concerned. Unfortunately, it won't. Where ever nerds of a culture gather, there you will find them. The old guard. Arms crossed. Legs akimbo. Judging you not worthy. Thinking they are cleverer than you because they read some obscure fact on a usenet group.
Yes, accessing high value data, information, and intelligence already commands ever higher premia. Already, most people are priced out of a lot of sources.
Yes, as I mention it on the website. Pashword is for people who do not want to use or maintain a password manager.

Pashword is a nice replacement when all you need is a strong password and don't have a password manager and don't want to remember too many things.

Most people have worse security than Pashword, which is: weak passwords + same passwords everywhere. Pashword overcomes that problem. It is not better than a password manager, can never realistically be but you can use it with a password manager, to store secret keys.
> So you, as an important businessman, are deserving of the overhead luggage space, but the casual riff-raff should stuff their belongings around their feet?

lol what? where does he say anything about needing special treatment? everyone's in the same overhead bin lottery unless you paid for business class or whatever.

i do exactly what the parent comment said as well. you're allowed a carryon and a small backpack. you put the carryon overhead and stuff your backpack at your feet. you either sit on your jacket or stuff it in your bag before you board. important stuff (work laptop, house keys) stays in the backpack and always with you. sometimes they force you to gate check your bag, which is not ideal but fine. keep the backpack.

i traveled a medium amount for work and ended up getting a soft sided duffel. for full flights they start calling for gate checking carryons before they even start boarding. i think this is mostly to save time though, even if there was enough overhead space. i noticed you get preferential treatment with a duffel and several times where they'd let me through but make the person in front of or behind me gate check their bags if they were rollers, even though the bins were "full".

if work was paying i tried to only book direct flights. then i could gate check my bag, board last, and spend as little time crammed on the plane as possible. but my preference was to do carryon as well to save time, especially if there was a connection.
It makes transferring the device to a new owner slightly harder. But it takes two minutes to remove the activation lock. If the trade-off is protecting owner privacy/disincentivizing thieves and forcing sellers to make a two-minute config chance, it think it's worthwhile.

Blog Streak https://blogstreak.com | BlogWithNotion is taken as of now but will get it I think.

It's an another Notion to Blog integration service.

Who can benefit from it?

This project is for people who running a static blog because of their scary speed and publishing it by git push.

Who can't benefit from it?

People who don't love blogging and hate Notion. Sorry guys I did integrate with Notion because it's one of the tool I come across which can satisfy the hectic Hugo markdown properties.

Price?
I set $5 per year and I think that's worth the month to spent for this little integration tool.

Any questions? please.
TIL: was gonna ask how do you get the transcript but YouTube actually provides it, it's hidden in the "…" menu next to "Clip".
You're right, I wasn't clear. But I'm a full-time ML researcher. In terms of advancing the field, my contributions so far have been modest, but they're there. Some of my favorite ideas were swarm training (https://battle.shawwn.com/swarm-training-v01a.pdf), stop loss for stabilizing GAN training (https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Atheshawwn%20stop%20loss&...), and getting GPT to play chess (https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/10/gpt2_chess/) back when that was a shocking idea. And in terms of cited research, https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027 has been the most impactful.

There's significant overlap between ML research and ML dev. If I can do it without most of that list, it should give people here some hope of joining the field without needing to immerse themselves in theory.
Have you ever looked for it? Here is a systematic review of available evidence:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10610-021-09500-8

> The systematic search strategies yielded 49 studies focusing on testing the effects of police presence or evaluating its measurement. We find evidence that police presence has mostly crime reduction effects on crimes related to motor theft, property, violence and guns. Police presence also reduces calls for service and improves traffic behaviour. Police presence focused on specific areas, times and types of crime achieves maximum effectiveness. The reviewed studies show a high degree of heterogeneity in reporting which limits comparability of findings across studies. Research on police presence presents evidence for significant crime preventative effects of focused police actions and shows strongest effects when focused on certain areas, times, or types of crimes

Look at the 49 studies they went through. Most of them show that adding officers lowers crime. Now you have seen the data.

My feeling is that she understands much better than people do. If you understand a sentence from which some of the conjunction words have been taken out, she will understand 100%. And I think this will all be smoothed out on a transcript of 150,000 characters (that's the average size of a podcast).
I've fallen into the chess craze.

I put together www.chessrapid.com for my own use. It's a version of Puzzle Rush / Puzzle Storm that has the added benefit of: 1) filtering by tactical themes and 2) seeing what themes you are frequently slow on / incorrect on. This way I can narrow in on the tactical themes that I need to improve pattern recognition on (e.g. I can take a break from Mate in 1 and Mate in 2; I really need to work on middle game).

https://game-watch.agreon.de (I know, my naming is great) is a service to get updates for games that you are interested in.

I'd often watch game release previews like the E3 and put the games that interested me in some kind of list. Now I would have to check manually for news about a release date or in which stores they would be published. GameWatch takes off this work from me and maybe also from you :).

I know it was most probably done before in some similar way, but I didn't even search for alternatives until now. It would have been a good idea if I wanted to create a real market competitor, but that was not my motivation. I wanted to craft something that was my own, and not a copy of some product. I didn't want to spoil my creativity.

I guess the most asked question will be: Why don't you crawl all the games beforehand and let the user search in your database. After all, it would improve the usability as users would not have to wait for the crawl to happen on demand. Also, you could show useful information like price history etc. per store.

Well, besides the limited resources I wanted to invest, the project was born with a different idea than price monitoring in mind. Rather, the main idea was for me - as a user of many game devices - to get updated as soon as a game is added to a specific store (Maybe some games would be nicer to play on the Switch?).

A preliminary crawl would not really have helped in this case. Besides, the on demand crawl results are cached. So if a popular game is searched for often, the overhead won't really be noticeable.

Costs:

- ~5€ DataDog Logging

- ~10€ VPC (but that is also used for other things)
Can you recommend a tracker software package to use?
While this surely seems required for a PhD program in one of the top universities, more down-to-earth programs would require you only about 1/4-1/2 of whats in the list depending on the area of research. For instance, graph neural networks are very niche.

And if you just want to do research around current SoTA, that would be more like 1/8th.
The interesting thing with them is that it is entirely brand (and they know it).

Ryssdal: Who is your competition then? Because the beverage space — and now the nonalcoholic water space — is populated by ginormous companies. And for as much success you’re having, you ain’t it. Do you worry about the Cokes and the Pepsis, or you’re like, “Yeah, you do your thing and I’m gonna do mine”?

Cessario: We don’t worry about that at all. Because the hardest thing — anybody can put water in a can, right? But that’s not why we’re successful.

Ryssdal: OK, wait, so why are you successful?

Cessario: Because we’ve built a really strong brand that has created legitimate fandom and obsession for the product. And that is something that Coke and Pepsi historically have been really bad at doing, which is why they acquire companies more so than they create viral brands or fandom on their own.

Hey if you want a lesson, I'll learn you at least one more way you can use the word.
I will offer a very tepid "I've seen worse" for AWS's UI considering all the things it has to support.

That said, the redesign made it worse (those scroll windows that don't fill up the pane... MY GOD HOW DO YOU NOT FIX THAT), there is no sense of continual improvement and addition of useful new features and views, performance is pretty bad.

All I ever hear "you're not supposed to use the UI, you're supposed to use the API".

Don't get me started on the API.

This quiz is missing these three key points:

- has culled 1,000$ annual savings in a AWS cost saving review?

- has culled 10,000$ annual savings in an AWS cost saving review?

- has culled 100,000$ ?

- has culled 1,000,000$?

I ... almost .. got to 1,000,000 once.

- trapped AWS support in an outright lie?

- gotten AWS support to tell you results of hidden internal metrics to debug something?
> OpenAI’s existing Codex product, launched in Aug. 2021, is designed to translate natural language into code.

For the sake of argument, let's say they succeed at this. They won't, but let's say they do. What does that mean?

It means that instead of specifying the function of software precisely via programming languages developed over many decades of study, thought, and research, you get to specify the function of the software in English, the shittiest programming language I could possibly imagine. If you'd rather build software in English than in a programming language, then you don't really want to build software at all.

Good luck with that.
I got paid relocation once, and the contract said that if any employment changes were on their end, I wouldn't have to pay the costs back. (I think this is why there are clauses like "if we don't hear from you for 3 days, that counts as resigning" instead of "if we don't hear from you for 3 days, you're fired". BTW, never go on vacation in a no-cell-phone area over the transition date for a vacation tracking system migration.
Learned that one the hard way!)

Nobody should sign a contract where they can fire you and charge you relocation costs; that is not employment but a scam to prop up relocation companies!

If you quit, then it's 50/50 in my mind. My take is that I don't want to be liable anything for quitting; the signing bonus is literally a bonus for signing the contract, not an obligation to do a certain amount of work. Salary covers the work. But I'd probably take a signing bonus that requires some tenure to not have to pay it back. Spend the money after that period. (Relocation is different to me because the disruption in your life is what they're paying for. If you don't like the job, your life was still disrupted. You're not asking for them to unrelocate you.)

> With open hardware that you fully and completely own when you buy it, such problems are impossible.

I don’t understand. If you have open hardware that you have full control over, choose to lock it down to make it impossible to factory reset the device without a password, and then forget that password, how does having open hardware help?

If you say “there always should be a way to factory reset the device without a password” you are giving up a feature that Apple provides: making it less worthwhile to steal Apple devices.

Think of it like this. AI is the Mandela Effect made real.

If the preponderance of human writing/creation/art says the sun revolves around the earth, then AI not only nails that down as infallible, but INFERS from it and comes up with new justification for stuff that it made up.

Mandela Effect is all about what 'should' be the truth. Some of the most interesting parts of reality are where bits of reality don't neatly fit into the narrative.

AI exploiting its own inferences and magnifying the Mandela Effect means it steamrollers inconvenient realities on the grounds that 'most people' wouldn't think so. But we don't even think of AI as 'most people', we imagine it as some kind of super-set of humanity, the ultimately wise and skilled overseer.

Boy, is that a mistake.

I don't have a website yet, but have a working prototype of a backup tool which allows you to easily and simply backup AWS RDS Instances, Google CloudSQL Instances and (coming soon) Digital Ocean and K8s hosted Databases.

One of the main pain points I see in the DevOps space around managing backups is making sure they are actually valid, working and can be recovered. Now that I have the backup part working on AWS and Google Cloud I am working on validation rules so that backups can also be validated on a schedule so you know they are up to date and can be recovered quickly and automatically.

If this sounds like something your org could use, reach out (Email in Bio) as I am looking for a few organizations to work with for free as I develop the open source core of the product. Once that's more mature I will probably add a paid front-end and SOC compliance reporting feature for orgs that need it.
The idea is that as a consumer, I made a contract of sale with the retailer, not the manufacturer or anyone else. So, if there's a problem I go to the entity I have the contract with, i.e. the retailer.

You can often claim warranty with the manufacturer if you want; depending on the item. It can be faster to do so, but you're not required.
For the latter, I've sent them a "diff" over email containing the changes I required before signing. They didn't accept any changes to the document itself, but they did let me create a separate document with clarifying language.
