Betting against it is doing business with the company. Whether directly in the Indian market or in a market outside India. If I bet against a race happening in some other part of the world, I am in some capacity (indirectly) involved in the race. All they are doing is using analysis to predict a crash and betting against it.

I dont like the idea of 'This seems fishy so let's bet against it'. If something feels fishy stay away from it as much as possible. Michael Burry doesn't happen every day.
I find that Midjourney tends to have its own characteristic touch as well. It's great if you like it, but it can be tricky if you want something different. I've found StableDiffusion to be a bit more versatile, even though it's harder to get a similar level of artistic quality.
Aw man, really? I still have my 5. I was hoping some day it would be a fun retro computer experience. Eh, the Lion battery will probably be dead in a decade anyway.
I very much enjoyed Travels with a Tangerine: A Journey in the Footnotes of Ibn Battutah (2012) by Tim Mackintosh-Smith. If you enjoy travelogues rather than history books (I enjoy both) then this may be the one for you.

Such a fascinating character. IIRC there is great scepticism that he went as far east as claimed, and that the China adventure may have been mostly fabricated. Echoes of Marco Polo. Anyone know more recent studies of the veracity of his claimed journeys?
It’s obviously not perfect, but it’s pretty darn impressive that AIs can do this now. Something like this was not possible just three years ago. I can’t wait to see what this technology will be capable of in the next few years.
Yes, I think the pilot has to have deliberately done it. The turns after the transponder went off are too intentional, and nothing like the flight plan the plane was meant to be flying.

I saw a simulation that looked fairly convincing, that showed if the plane was ditched in a controlled glide from where the last ping was received, assuming that's were it ran out of fuel, then the plane would have glided out of the area that was searched. They also claimed that the damage on the flaperons and other control surfaces that washed up was fairly consistent with landing fairly level, where those control surfaces may have been ripped off but most of the rest of the plane might have been fairly intact and would have quickly sunk in mostly one piece. It seemed fairly plausible.
I really dislike asdf. It is supposed to be the hail marry, but it doesn't support .nvmrc with content like lts/hydrogen. Also, they don't have a pyenv venv plugin. So I'm still stuck with rbenv, nvm, jenv, pyenv and pyenv venv...

Short Story Written Without AI: The Fabulous Cat
I've been in the workforce for about 9 years. The first three years were as a technician that required me working on site. The last 6 of which, I've worked from home in DevOps and other engineering roles. I can't even fathom what it means to work in an office. I didn't even realize people in tech worked in offices because I never did. It's weird to me that this is even controversial.
Cheating is a lot more sophisticated than the simple aimbots you're thinking of. A lot of cheats focus on giving the player extra information. In the context of big money online tournaments this motivates some pretty extreme behavior, like folks running a PCI card set up to access memory directly and find the game state for player positions, then indicate that to the player somehow. This defeats even kernel level anti-cheat.
Maybe I’m an outliner. But I’m not buying it.

To me, it misses to analyze and address a fundamental problem of why google “got so bad”.

I believe this is mainly a problem of the top 5%. There is reason why google presents their results like they do. It’s not like they’re a bunch of idiots not knowing their craft.

Yes, for those of use around the internet since 1996, the results got worse. But since then the entire population got online. They’re just fine with the top results. They’re good enough. Google’s machine knows and sees this in the data.

I am sure there is value in summarizing and querying the text. But this will increase the convenience not necessarily the quality of results.
The real headline here is: this guy was administering saline shots to children instead of Covid-19 vaccines.

The paper cards where a disaster, at least the EU has electronic records. The U.S. govt is also to blame for this fraud.

There could of been a chain of integrity between the shot you got and your identity.

For example, I got my shot at a pharmacy. There is no way for me to verify that shot was legitimate and not tampered in distribution or by the pharmacist. I should be able to track the provenance of my shot all the way to the manufacturer and the chemical components that went into it.
You're saying QAnon on 4chan is the same as Karl Marx, Lenin, international conspiracy, etc? Which one led to one world war already, Communism or QAnon? Which one might turn Ukraine/Russia into the next one?

Trump/QAnon mythos is for memes, maybe a little cope, nobody believes Trump is a true messiah. MAGA was a hat, not a political philosophy backed by ideologues the world over.

Communists really believe they are doing liberation politics or w/e. MAGA folks just want to BBQ or w/e. MAGA people are not lining to force regime changes in foreign countries.

MAGA was a movement, communism is a whole ideology.

EDIT: by savior complex, i mean they think they are saving you, from capitalism. MAGA-likes have no such complex about saving other people. They would never join a foreign legion like communists did.

The pilots can kill everyone in a many different ways. It's basically impossible to get around that.
You can be reasonably confident that the US does not regularly disappear entire airplanes filled with foreign nationals. As evidenced by MH 370, it's something that everybody notices.

The US has vast intelligence and military resources, but resources can't create operational miracles. Disappearing a civilian airplane and keeping it disappeared would be such a miracle.
Other way around. UMG: Bieber's recordings. Hipgnosis: publishing copyrights (music and lyrics), neighbouring rights (public performances of Bieber's recordings, mostly outside the US), and Hipgnosis bought Bieber's downstream artist royalties for use of the recordings (UMG will still own them but pay Hipgnosis instead of Bieber for the royalties previously owed to Bieber under the terms of his record deal)
Yeah, this is a classic canard, and I think it’s completely wrong, at least in software. “Build vs. buy” in software isn’t a question of the cost of building and maintaining it yourself vs. the cost of buying it from someone else. It’s the cost of buying it, learning it, working around not-quite-right behavior, keeping up with updates, and dealing with incompatibilities.

Sometimes those costs are worth it—for me, typically when it will take more than 1-7 days to build just the pieces I need—but it’s not as simple as common advice will have you believe.
You can get rid of causal cheaters by having a secure boot all the way to the game. This would make it so people would have to use hardware cheats if they wanted to cheat.

First the LLM needs to know what it doesn't know, and it looks like except for the explicit limitations embedded by the developers it isn't capable of doing that. When I asked ChatGPT about its own model variants, it gave me wild answers for things that made sense but didn't exist.

"""

There are several variants of GPT-3 model, each fine-tuned for specific tasks or industries. Here are a few examples:

- GPT-3 "davinci" is fine-tuned for creative and imaginative writing tasks, such as poetry, short stories, and song lyrics.

- GPT-3 "curie" is fine-tuned for conversational and dialog generation.

- GPT-3 "babbage" is fine-tuned for code generation and language understanding.

- GPT-3 "einstein" is fine-tuned for question answering tasks.

- GPT-3 "jules" is fine-tuned for summarization.

- GPT-3 "parliament" is fine-tuned for legal text generation.

- GPT-3 "bronte" is fine-tuned for creative writing tasks like storytelling and fiction-writing.

"""

I'd almost assume "parliament" it's a leak of some sort if any of the other examples (except for davinci) were accurate.
They should, but there have certainly been aircraft disasters where the pilots didn't exactly do what they were supposed to do.
That is a very cool use of GPT-3!
Canada time off is paid at most 2000/month though. That's almost nothing in big cities where rent is 2500 for 2 bedrooms (Vancouver).

I appreciate the incredible parental leave, but it's still very rough, one parent MUST go back to work or it gets really hard.
If you have a mortgage is probably just impossible.

That being said, 7 days is a joke. To any father, 7 days and your baby is as big as your forearm, and you are supposed to leave that creature at home. Bah.

1 month seems the minimum, given that afterbirth complications start to settle only after that mark and medically speaking there is a big "mark" in terms of weight for that date.
Ok, so then, I'm doing a labor theory of value.

What actual risk does an investor take? Loss of capital? Compared to an employee who, in the situation where capital is lost, loses the means by which they feed and house themselves, and in the USA, provide healthcare for themselves?

On top of which, right now, investors aren't really taking much loss. This action by Google is done for shareholder value. So not only is the loss for an employee higher in a situation that "harms" a shareholder, it's also more pervasive: the employee might get fired anyway through no fault of their own, even if it's not because the company is going bankrupt and everyone's losing their money.

And while all this is happening the investor has invested in other ventures, potentially even competitors. If google goes bankrupt they lose their initial investment, which by most financial advisories I see should not account for a significant portion of their investment, retirement, or even just savings, so by material measures, they'll be fine.

Meanwhile the employee has put in their time, energy effort. They haven't been able to explore other means of making money, do research into potential investments for themselves. They've been building social capital, specific domain knowledge, client relationships, things that hold some value after a Google collapse, but not all.

At the end of the day I just don't see why what an investor does has any value at all compared to an employee. Can you help me understand better what you mean?
Great topic, but I'm disappointed by the Wikipedia article. It strikes me as a bit hagiographic. I could be wrong. Can anyone suggest anything more critical on this topic (in any sense of "critical")?

For new versions, you can get a converter; hdcp 2.2 -> hdcp 1.4 and then use whatevee breakage on 1.4. So it's only effective if you don't search.

That one-by-one scenario you described is admitted to be dramatized fiction.

The real story is: plane disappears as transponder signal is lost. Plane cant be raised via radio or sat phone. Sat phone shows plane still flying. Malaysian military tracks plane but does nothing as they are asleep at the wheel.

We really don't know. Only the black box does. I could talk about different alternative scenarios, both corroborating the murder-suicide plot and a rare catastrophic event. But I'm not looking to drive traffic so its just as much pointless fiction.
Agree to this. My personal thesis is paying the cost of doing it quickly is not payed months in a nebulous future, but often mere _hours_

My parents bought me a CoCo when I was a kid—couldn’t afford the C64 but the clearanced TI99s were sold out (dodged that bullet!)

My first programming languages were BASIC, 6809E assembly, and BASIC09. C would be there too but it required a second disk drive for the standard library and I didn’t have one.

Good thing the games mostly sucked on that platform. If they’d been any better I might not have learned to program.
Well the bigger the gravity well, the more matter available to mine. Asteroids only make up a tiny fraction of the mass in our solar system.
From the perspective of a server-sided anticheat as client side exists as a barrier to entry so it must be intrusive to work. I know of non-cheat devs who have bypassed Vanguard accidentally while implementing low level windows stuff.

No, this isn't possible. There will always be purely client sided cheats that don't touch anything sent to the server. For example, seeing enemies through walls gives a huge advantage but isn't detectable. This can be mitigated only sending entities the client can see, but latency makes it so you can't fully stop this.

You can also attack latency which doesn't directly affect protocol. Rewind enemies slightly forwards or backwards in shooters so you land the shot when you aim slightly off. These cheats exist in CSGO.

However, an anticheat's job is to prevent other players from noticing you cheating rather than to prevent cheating. This key distinction does let you simply ignore a lot of purely client side cheats as insignificant.

You also can't do much about aimassists that slightly correct aiming. Machine learning can help here but falls apart quite fast when humans are covering up the machine's aiming patterns. Algorithmic inputs and random human inputs still result in random-ish human inputs.

There would've been overwhelming chatter about a plane entering controlled airspace and not replying. The sheer size of cleanup needed would've required one of the MEUs to reroute and you'd have to silence thousands of Marines and Sailors from talking about it.
Nope. I think it was a Show HN or something of sort that showed up on my radar.

Additional transparency is always better for the consumer. However, one must ask - what would that achieve for the business? Providing technical details may open them up to additional scrutiny from the general public, and potentially regulatory bodies.

Another additional risk is that the more information disclosured, the harder it is to control the narrative. As someone who used to work in reputation management, ensuring a cohesive and correct narrative in mainstream & social media is an essential component of reputation damage control.

Do the same as the Linux kernel community, don't allow proprietary drivers in Android. Linux doesn't allow proprietary drivers and now it has an open source driver for ARM Mali GPUs, Android should stop using the proprietary driver and use the open source driver. Whenever a vendor wants to have a proprietary driver, say no thanks, or reverse engineer the driver. A bunch of volunteers working part-time figured out how to make open source Apple M1 GPU drivers and Google has a ton of money so it could easily hire say 100-1000 people to reverse engineer proprietary drivers full-time and rewrite them from scratch.

The main issue, and this pervades computing, is that people don't care enough about owning their computers and controlling the software that runs on them.

According to a quick google search, iOS has almost 60% marketshare in the US. Many other top-GDP nations are similar.

A bunch of people in India using Android isn't much help when you're in a country where most people use Apple.

By your logic, most monopolies shouldn't be investigated or regulated at all, because most people on the entire planet don't use their products. One airline is fine, because most humans don't ever fly. One car company is fine, because most humans don't have cars. Etc.

One note 1300sqft homes could be condos, even if Canadians are condo resistant.

They should make the condo more soundproof, no doubt, but living in a 3 bedroom condo @ 1300sqft is pretty nice, we do so ourselves with 2 children. Plenty of space. It was super expensive for us.
I'm more of a Nix guy for solving this particular issue, but even assuming you were right (I don't believe so), sometimes you do have to work on crap. And it's better if you have a more reproducible dev environment when doing it.

The alternative to capitalism is not socialism, but I understand where you are coming from.

I believe the kind of character(capital owner) utilizing the current system is going to be best tuned to exploit; a process made easiest (in regards to US service industries) by our “tipping culture.”

> And nothing prevents 'workers' from pooling their resources

You are “technically” correct but really so very wrong in practice. That same exploitation driven by capitalism makes it so hard to “pull yourself up by bootstraps” even in a group, if you’re always (by design) one paycheck away from homelessness. (Also a caste kept alive by design.)

Well supposedly Riot’s server side interest management was supposed to solve this, perhaps by ray casting to the subjects’ bounding box.

My bank used client TLS certificates early on, while it is nifty it was a really bad idea without hardware security. (Paper OTP in their case)

IMHO, client side certificates are a big failure even on server to server. The UX of doing it is error prone and insecure because of foot guns. It fails because there are so many different incompatible ways to use them. Mostly this idea of mine is based on never having had a good experience with browser based client certificates (even highly automated and hardware secured ones). Things does not get much better on server.

Sure automation helps but the certificate is a such a small part of the system, and when you try to integrate two automated systems that use client side TLS certificates it is easy to trust too much or too little. (Both are troublesome)
That's a fair point - though I do think this particular 'happening' won't be enough to get more sovereign solutions to critical mass, but maybe it's a strong step.

One more point is that the QLD Labour wing is much further to the right and much less progressive when it comes to coal and global warming. The vested interest in coal mining has limited a lot of the green energy push even as places like Brisbane and The Reef face some of the biggest challeges due to climate change.
Its more an inequality story than a corruption story. Corruption is always a side effect of inequality.

If an ambitious, energetic kid is born in a slum or some backward area and doesn't see legitimate ways to access resources/climb the ladder, chances are very high the kid will take shortcuts. That's the nature of high energy, ambitious people. These people, purely based on the drive they have, influence the behavior of the rest that surround them.

When such people are identified early, and given the right guidance/resources the outcomes are totally different.
They are more likely to comply with regulations because they effectively get to write them. Smaller is better because a small company doesn't have the resources to corrupt the regulators.
