This is effectively lying under oath to the US Government as well as prospective consumers.

How would you feel if a city advertised that Water and Sewer service were available at a given property, only to find that there weren't even mains anywhere nearby or that even if there were they were already 'at capacity' and you wouldn't be authorized to hook up?

That's the sort of data that drives rejection of sale.

He coughed. "Dix? McCoy? That you man?" His throat was tight.

"Hey, bro," said a directionless voice.

"It's Case, man. Remember?"

"Miami, joeboy, quick study."

"What's the last thing you remember before I spoke to you, Dix?"

"Nothin'."

"Hang on."

He disconnected the construct. The presence was gone. He reconnected it. "Dix? Who am I?"

"You got me hung, Jack. Who the fuck are you?"

"Ca--your buddy. Partner. What's happening, man?"

"Good question."

"Remember being here, a second ago?"

"No."

"Know how a ROM personality matrix works?"

"Sure, bro, it's a firmware construct."

"So I jack it into the bank I'm using, I can give it sequential, real time memory?"

"Guess so," said the construct.

"Okay, Dix. You are a ROM construct. Got me?"

"If you say so," said the construct. "Who are you?"

"Case."

"Miami," said the voice, "Joeboy, quick study."

The highlight sentences text of [2] talked about WHO was banned from owning arms, not what.

[1] Is just so bad I'm pretty sure it was written by a drunk child (admittedly the intelligence level of most government employees), I would not trust this document AT ALL. It's egregiously wrong. You can own sawed off shotguns with a tax stamp (in fact it was written in law as a tax because they thought they had no constitutional right to ban them). It also says idiotic things like you can't own a gun without a serial number (WTF, a ton of early 20th century guns don't even have these).

Now I know some of you will say "but notch, if you have to get a stamp it's a privilege not a right." And I'll explain to you why that's wrong. If you're allowed to have it, they have to give you the stamp. If you're not? Oh you're gonna love this -- if you're not THEN THEY CAN'T PROSECUTE YOU FOR NOT HAVING THE STAMP. Self incrimination. That's right, if you're a criminal you don't legally need the stamp! Only law abiding people have to get it, and hey if you don't theyll just make you a felon so you don't have to get it the next time!

It also uses "transported across strate line" to establish federal jurisdiction which is just straight up 100% wrong, it doesn't need to do that as feds will happily prosecute an item even DIY made in the same state (see conviction of kettler). I actually lost track because it seemed like almost everything I read there was wrong. I hope whoever wrote that has a nice job collecting quarters from the parking meters or something now, because I wouldn't trust them with much else.

Because Don Bluth cartoons are awesome, especially the tons of death scenes animated for this game. Whenever someone made it to a screen that I hadn't seen, I was absolutely giddy and filled with dread over what was about to kill him. The game was bad and consisted of guessing when you should press buttons. Skill was gained through memory and constant application of quarters.
Let’s get started then! I’m digging this T# idea
The impressions on Musk’s tweets are still in the millions. So either the article is based on a story that never happened or the issue is fixed.
The wait for an Uber is typically much smaller than the walk to the transit station + wait there (I don't think I've ever waited 20 min), you aren't restricted to one bag, and there is no schedule. The wait would get even smaller if there were 10x as many cars participating on that platform.

Car sharing is inconvenient because you first have to get to the station. Public transport often doesn't take you where you actually need to go, you're stuck to a schedule, you can't transport anything big, and it's often slower than a car. Cheap robotaxis fix that.

More importantly, I think many people have a car because there are some trips that just aren't realistically feasible without, and then they use the car because they already have it, have paid the fixed cost, and it's marginally better than public transport. With cheap robotaxis, they might use public transport for 90% of the trips because now they don't have to choose between owning a car and being unable to do those remaining 10% of trips.
In 2016 the NLRB ruled that graduate students who teach are, in fact, employees. Note that they have the right to even form a union.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/08/2...

Edit: A slight twist on this is that Temple University is a public university and and the NLRB in theory does not have jurisdiction over other parts of the government. PA law, however, offers similar protection. This is off to court for sure.
Well the humans are doing classification too so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

It's true that this model doesn't know anything outside its training dataset, but that's a different objection.

It's an interesting question as to if there is anything humans do that isn't just classification or regression (and of course regression is just classification over an infinite set where we assign labels to certain ranges and then select the highest probability density).
I wonder what percentage of billionaires are pilots - probably decently high.

What is the likelihood that intelligent life develops encryption before radio communication and therefore any signals they send appear to be random noise?

The Romans used encryption for military purposes and there is no hard precondition on developing broadcast communications before understanding the math behind cryptography. How improbable is it to imagine a society with deep end to end encryption communication?
Some of the worst sounding dishes taste the best. Take something I tried in Poland. It was called "flaczki", which you can translate into "guts". First they told me to try it. It was the most delicious thing I ever ate! It was soft and tasted somewhat like chicken but had much more flavor. Then they told me what it is - its a cow's stomach cooked for at least 12 hours. Glad I am one of those people that the name or knowing what something is made of is not turning me away from eating it.

Seriously if you ever visit Poland try flaczki, but also try kalabki.
This not surprising. Telecoms have been accepting govt. subsidies for years while failing to expand in rural areas. Additionally they have been lobbying to interfere with municipal broadband projects and push anti-competitive legislation in local governments as well.

https://broadbandnow.com/report/municipal-broadband-roadbloc...

IIRC many parts of Eastern Europe have managed to provide broadband by building mesh networks with wireless backhaul. (MikroTik builds some of these products, Ubiquiti also has others). This should be a reasonable way expand broadband easily in the short term without having to lay fiber across the countryside.
As someone who got my first, current and only job at a FAANG working remotely in GA, I declined the chance to be interviewed for a job that would have required me to relocate. I would have made probably $100K more than I was making as a senior enterprise dev.

Instead, the recruiter recommended I apply for another role that was more in my wheelhouse anyway that paid $60-$75k more.
Streaming has made entertainment a hyper-competitive field that is no longer fixed to any time blocks. How could the Oscars compete? Would you rather watch the rise of Pablo Escobar or Matt Damon open an envelope in the most smug, self congratulatory room in the world?
Your response makes no sense.

There is no theory.

It's really simple, actually:

If you have a mine-field with an uncountable number of mines, knowing the locations of 200 mines won't help you cross the mine-field safely. If, instead, you learn how to spot areas which are known to be safe, you can, assuming you don't make a mistake, at least attempt to cross it safely (and if you fail to cross it, you can go back and learn how to spot other areas which are known to be safe).

That is the difference between your claim that you need to know all the documented instances of UB and my claim that you just need to know enough defined behaviour to write your program.

It has nothing to do with security assessments or pentests.

There are reports from strikers trying to refill medication that the medical benefit suspension has already unilaterally gone into effect. The university has gone ahead with their threats in that regard (which is especially shitty since it's pretty standard in the US to give employees a health insurance grace period on termination).

I am really confused about what the university thinks they're going to get out of these actions.
I only just realized I should have described this using English, but you only see the token ids emitted by an encoder. You can't read its source, and you never get to invoke it on your own inputs.
But it's not pay. Their stipend would be pay. The tuition would be a benefit, just as tuition assistance programs at companies are benefits. It's perfectly legal to suspend benefits and pay during a strike, but they must be reinstated when the strike is over. Right or wrong, it seems primia facie legal.

Edit: why disagree? What have I said that's factually incorrect? Please, educate us all and add to the discussion in the spirit of the forum.
What are the competing standards to XDG? Stick everything in $HOME? Stick everything in $HOME/.config?

Those 2 aren't standards and aren't helpful.
Attacking encryption has always been done in the name of safety, whether from "criminals" or for national security. There are no legitimate reasons why a free people should have their right to encrypted communications taken away. Therefore, when you try to introduce such legislations without such a pretext, people don't like it. They have to create a moral panic (lately usually terrorists or pedophiles) in order to get such legislation to pass.

> “Any Temple employee that decides to strike forfeits their pay and complete benefits package,” explained Temple University senior vice president and chief operating officer Ken Kaiser.

Here's the problem -- that's a business solution. This decision is intended to benefit Temple the business, not the Temple the university. The administration is too busy filing TPS reports to realize that they're curating something actually important -- the future of this country's youth.

In other ways it's just cookie-cutter union-busting from coal-mining days, 120 years ago, and I expect in the long term it will work just as well (i.e., not).
For glass, that's true in normal temperatures/voltages, but when it gets hot/melts it starts being a conductor instead. Same if the voltage is high enough, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_strength#Break_down... for a table and description about that effect.
How improbable is it to imagine a society that doesn't need encryption?

Meaning one in five classes will lack an instructor or grader, one in five professors will lack people they can pile work onto, and the placement rates this year might be abysmal, tanking their program in the future.

It's a strike. Don't confuse percent striking with impact of the strike. A 20% haircut on essential, low paid laborers is a big haircut.
How can you be sure that investor signalling is their motivation?
Right? It’s cool! I’ve been wondering if the drive there is stemming from Microsoft.
Totally agree. Also what will this demand for electricity created by EVs do to the price of electricity for ordinary household devices? Already in the UK people are turning off their fridge because they can't afford to run it. This is due to Ukraine crisis affecting electricity prices, so what effect will EVs have on the price of electricity?
It's all just assumed things will be wonderful.

Let's just DDoS the government to get them to remove ridiculous laws.
I’m with you here. When I want a process to be completed in less than an afternoon, I often add several interactions with a governmental agency to the mix in order to speed things along.
It doesnt matter what laws exist if the public, starting at primary school, are not taught the law, not even a TLDR. Its just virtue signalling.

And if you are not taught law, how can anyone claim to live in a democracy to debate the laws?

Everybody is born into a legal dictatorship if you weren't taught law and with todays communication technology, there is no excuse for it. Its just setting people up to be victims of crime especially kids, its a criminal way to make people dependent on employees of the state who claim to be picking up the pieces.

Secondly employees of the state are treated as superior to members of the public by the courts, which makes me think the legal system isn't fit for purpose here in the UK.

Original note below the line. Unfortunately, as pointed out by tptacek [0]:

> The wrinkle is that Temple's employees are public-sector employees, who are exempt from the NLRA --- but they're not necessarily exempt from equivalent Philadelphia law.

tptacek appears to be correct [1]. That said, there is a Pennsylvanian 1970 "Public Employe Relations Act" that could cover unfair practices including retaliation but I can't tell if it is still in force [2]. [3] appears to imply that it is still active.

I worked on a very interesting project aligning point clouds using SVD,
for a pair of point clouds of the same scene that are not aligned:

- select 3+ pairs of matching points in each cloud (tops of trees, edges of a building etc)

- calculate the vector to the centroid of each cloud

- use SVD to calculate the rotation that gives a minimum distance when applied from the source to the target

- translate and rotate the source cloud to the target

I did this using the rust nalgebra^1 crate after reading a very helpful paper^2 detailing the process. I had planned to build the rust lib into WASM so the process could be run alongside the browser based point cloud visualiser we were using, but had limited time and instead used Neon^3 to build a native binding for our nodejs server to use.

This feels like something that's too expensive for a random individual (I've become allergic over time to simple things that insist on subscription as opposed to pay once). But too cheap for enterprise use.

Consider putting together few more simple tools, build a quick pipeline, and offer per seat and enterprise licensing.

If they had already been paid out, yes. Company bought you a $10k car in January, you strike in March. The company isn’t allowed to retroactively “unbuy” the car and declare that you now owe them $10k. Even if the condition for keeping the car was a full year’s employment you can’t take it — striking isn’t legally quitting.

Even stronger, if employees usually get an annual bonus but the year of the strike they don’t you might get bitten for retaliation.
Dogs can also tell you're pointing with your attention, if they're paying attention.
It's not the senate generally that is taking the parlimentarian's advice in this case, but the presiding officer, who does get to unilaterally decide (although the have some options).

See 2 USC 641(d) for it being out of order and Senate rule XX for how those are decided (which is surprisingly flexible, as you hit). Or for a more readable source: https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/introduction-to...

But the fact that we're even discussing this shows that the article is pretty reasonable in calling this arcane.
Stable Diffusion could do it because the task turned out to be amenable to reasonably small models. But there's no evidence of that being the case with GPT.

That said, other organizations that can afford to foot the bill for it are the governments. This is hardly ideal, since such models will also come with plenty of strings attached - indeed, probably more than the private ones - but at least these policies are somewhat checked by democratic mechanisms.

Long-term I think the demand for more AI compute power will lead to much more investment in GPU design and manufacture, driving the prices down. Since the underlying tech itself is well-understood, I fully expect to see the day when one can train and run a customized GPT-3 instance for one's private use, although the major players will likely be far ahead by then.

What second time?
Compressed logs are already binary anyway, so at that point, you'd definitely not be eating much cost to just go the rest of the way.

As for why binary, it's more like, why not text? And my main answer is that everyone thinks that parsing text formats is easy, because it is, so when you have a dumb text format somewhere crucial, you wind up with a gazillion crappy parsers that are all flawed in different ways. Binary formats almost universally tighter in their specification, require less complex algorithms to parse, and so on. Like, seeking around a binary file with indexes is WAY faster, more efficient, and simpler than seeking around a text file with delimiters. Even just length-prefixing can help a TON, especially if you have certain extremely large log lines. (Believe me, I do wind up with that, especially in production environments.)

The `journalctl` tool is handy. It's easy to tail the entire system's logs with `journalctl -f` which I use all the time when debugging usermode problems and I have no idea where the logs are. Adding `-u [unit]` to target a specific unit is not much harder, or -x for the pager, or -e to go to the end of the pager.

If I want to run a process and have it log to systemd, that's also very easy. Just run it with the systemd-cat wrapper. This connects stdout and stderr to the journal directly.

Binary doesn't have to hurt more than text; it's very fast and efficient to turn it back into whatever text format you might want. Making it not hurt is the job of the tooling. I feel like systemd has improved a lot here and now for pretty much any use case I don't really see the downside of the way it handles journaling.

As it always is... YMMV. I'm curious to hear what kinds of practical problems people have, though I assume most of it is "I had something processing logs directly, and now it doesn't work." But even if that may be annoying, I think it's usually not too hard to solve either.
I'm confused by this description. Are they saying the impact caused the driver to be ejected from the front seat to the rear? I'm not sure physics works that way. Are they saying the driver left the front seat and climbed into the rear so that he could blame autopilot when the police arrived on scene?
The 14s are $99, used the worst case in GP.
In my view they see a few benefits. If the "market climate" is layoffs, then they can be much less competitive with offers to any candidates they do want to hire. It's an opportunity to let go a contingent of lower-performing workers, and lastly, it's a way for the CFO to send a message to all the managers that they aren't getting the incremental headcount they are always asking for to inflate their team sizes.
I don't necessarily think this is a good thing, but I think dismissing it as copy-cat behavior is not digging deeper than the surface layer.
Instead of the group of managers making the case they are doing a good job because their team has grown over time, there is a shift in power to the managers saying they have saved the company x number of doll-hairs because they cut xyz budget and team.
Right, and if you hallucinate at incredibly high speeds it looks like magic!
