`curl` is widely integrated via its CLI: you'll find all kinds of programs (from simple shell scripts to actual compiled binaries) that interact with `curl` through command-line arguments. So the attacker model here isn't "nobody would type this" it's "does your SoHo router or other software shell out to cURL in an attacker-controllable way."
Small bills are funny. I'm surprised if the interchange fees don't net out negative for the biller.

My most recent Rackspace bill was $0.05. I don't even remember what I'm using it for any more, but it's not worth it to check out.

My last Pulumi bill was $0.86.
I have switched to Bing and Edge, then wrote a script to rack up points in hopes that I get moved up for the new BingGPT. Google search results have been trending toward crap for a while from my POV. 'Google it' is sticky, but I absolutely have not missed a beat with Edge and Bing. In fact, Edge has been a really pleasant surprise with features Chrome doesn't have. A calculator in the side bar is fracking awesome!
Any object within their physical premises would be ultimately their liability if no one else steps forward to claim ownership.

We home school our kids and have for a decade now. In the past couple of years there was a noticeable uptick of families in the home school circles we're in.

A lot of people don't register as homeschooling for various (usually sane) reasons. I'd attribute most "missing" students to that.
We do know that the crew was notified of the hot axle by an automatic defect detector. I don't think we know yet what their reaction was.

If they didn't brake... then the brake technology had no effect. If they did brake, more sophisticated brake control systems could definitely stop it faster, and would reduce internal stresses that can could contribute to derailment.

My personal speculation is that the crew tried to gamble and get the train to a more convenient stopping location, either of their own volition or as directed by dispatch.
That was Facebook. Google is move slow and have your PR nitpicked eight times.
EU to inject €3.75B into venture capital funds to help companies scale up
“I want to believe” is the saying! You hit the nail on the head. Is it aliens? No. But I enjoy entertaining the theory that it might be. It’s harmless and adds mystery and excitement to my world. If you were young in the 90s, I’m sure you can remember the wonder that everyone seemed to have. I’m only sad that Art Bell isn’t here to speculate with us.
Yes that is right. Forgive me, but don delillo is not so famous outside of the English speaking world so I did not think of mentioning it, although I have seen his name in the end credits.

> perishables are more difficult to stock, so they still get neglected in lower income neighborhoods

exactly, and this is a big part of the problem; we have no problem subsidizing corn for Ethanol, why can't we provide incentives that provide lower income people access to healthier food?
I recently saw a rack server of 8x SXM2 P100's (so, the 2016 equivalent of this) for sale for $3600 on ebay. And you can buy individual P100 pci-e versions for about $300 now. They retailed for about $7600 each back in 2016.

I wonder how long it'll be until A100's depreciate that amount.

I see articles from "Serve The Home" pop up now often and I've yet to see one discussing hardware that I've ever come across in... someone's home.
Remember Oumuamua?
That was something that had a very small probability of being aliens.

This has zero (or to split hairs some nonzero probability that is so infinitesimally small as to be practically zero).

People, including respectable scientists, were perfectly willing to entertain the possibility of aliens there, with all the appropriate and huge caveats.

It’s not that people don’t want it to be aliens, it’s just that it never is.
It's super depressing how stupid the average person is. It gets worse when I try to justify to myself that I'm not right there with them.
Taking Entity Framework Core data seeding to the next level with Bogus
In this blog post you will learn how you can use .NET, Entity Framework Core and Bogus to easily set up a large amount of realistic testing data for a (new) project!

It is essential to know how this can be done, because when you start a new project you often want to start out with a batch of testing data.

However, setting up this realistic testing data is boring and difficult work, especially when you want a large amount of it! So, check out this blog post to learn how you can do this better, easier and faster than ever before!

Or you could... go visit China, talk to Chinese people. The majority of them support the government.

And I haven't even brought up my own friends and family as anecdotal evidence.

But let me turn this around. If you're so convinced that all satisfaction is fake and a result of coercion, then how do you possibly prove that western European countries are not dictatorships? You could always argue that elections are fake, and that all their citizen who says that their country is a democracy only say so under coercion. One can always rationalize this to the point where the notion becomes unfalsifiable.

You should check out the talks of Kishore Mahbubani, ex-UN Security Council head, ex-Singapore diplomat. He has seen the Soviet Union, he has seen what a dictatorship looks like, and what's going on in China looks nothing like that. The past 40 years, the freedom of the Chinese people have exploded. 40 years ago you couldn't choose what clothes to wear, what to study, where to live, where to work. All of that has changed. Millions of Chinese travel abroad every year, and they all return to China. Why would they do that if China is such a miserable place? Why would a "dictatorship" allow its citizen to travel abroad where they are exposed to democracy?

The answer is twofold: China isn't a dictatorship, and you can't reason about all countries using this dictatorship-vs-democracy dichotomy. These are the best 30 years out of 3000 years for Chinese people, Chinese people have been freer than they have ever been in Chinese history. Western analysis projects a Stalinist communism dictatorship on China but this projection is wrong and doesn't fit. China has authoritarian elements, yes, but it is still very far removed from the typical dictatorship that people imagine.

Case in point: the recent Covid protests. Western media has been writing for several years now about how "all-powerful dictator-for-life Xi Jingping" made up an anti-Covid apparatus merely for his own entertainment and to show off power and to control people. Then suddenly there were protests. Did they sent in the tanks? No, they... lifted the 0-covid measures!

Seriously, does this sound like what a power-hungry dictator would do? Maybe, just maybe, everything you think you know about China is wrong, and all the shallow China analyses you have read in the news are all wrong. In this "dictatorship" there are 15000 (!) protests a year, and often the protesters get what they want.
Western notions of what liberal democracy should look like (multi-cultural, multi-religious, etc.) is a colonial imposition on India: https://unherd.com/2021/04/the-culture-wars-of-post-colonial...
How do you know the crash was the result of missing regulations?

Republicans are against government regulations,you know "big government" and all that, so why would they do a better job?
Good question. To be fair, JavaScript was my first "real" programming language, so my brain has adapted the most to it's weirdness. That's probably why TypeScript is very useful for me. But to answer your question, I've been using C# primarily for the last 4 years, and I dabble in other languages like Rust and Python. I used C++ in school (that's what they used for programming classes if you'll believe it). TypeScript feels pretty nice, but I do adore C#. I wish Microsoft would make a T# (as someone else put it once).
Given cosmic distances (and assuming FTL travel isn't in the equation), it seems more likely that any aliens arriving are coming because they detected molecular oxygen in the atmosphere and it took them a while to arrive. They detected a planet that probably had life, and sent out an exploratory mission many millions of years ago. I can only imagine the disappointment of waking up from cryo-sleep or whatever and finding a planet whose occupants are seemingly deliberately reverting the atmospheric composition back to CO2.
The market required a blood sacrifice.
I was trying to build a ML training machine myself these days. I don't really need the RTX FP64 and its 4K graphic rendering with gaming stuff, all I need is ML training(FP16 mostly with lots of CUDA cores).

There is no such thing, you either use multiple RTX GPU cards and 'bend' them for ML training, or you buy A100 40GB at about 125K or A100 80GB at about 250K, which is far beyond my budget.

Google's TPU could be used to assist ML training, but then it does not have the CUDA ecosystem for software, plus, it kept its new TPU for inhouse use only as far as I can tell.

AWS ML EC2 are very expensive to me which is why I want to build one for mid-sized ML trainings.
As someone who's not American, I'm always confused by the Americans' obsession with aliens. A single data point, but I don't think I've seen it in such a way in any other culture.
Yup. Europe has 1 year to switch from gas to LNG its significant part of natural gas usage. Increasing the grid bandwidth by 50% is a much smaller change.
> there is a very small chance it is

The very small chance of it being aliens is the same as the very small chance of it being wizards, or angels, or the rogue appendages of extradimensional horrors, or glitches in the matrix. It's irrational to fixate on the technically non-zero odds of aliens when there are an infinite number of explanations with technically non-zero odds.
Nationalizing is an overreach. This is why events like this have to be downplayed because if you don’t the vultures will swoop in with their own agendas and try to stir up emotions to garner support for unpopular causes.

Actually this is wrong, after reading the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.03027.pdf

The main idea is to specify an edit direction which is a broad statement of what you want to do. The model then uses gpt-3 to generate text for that direction and then it calculates embeddings with CLIP and then the mean difference. The difference is used to guide the noise to make the final change.

One pitfall seems like you can't specify very customized changes, but very cool approach
Oh, I see you've been on the receiving end of Google's poor support. It's almost as if the company is more concerned with investing in flashy AI and machine learning technologies than actually providing decent customer service. Sure, they might argue that these investments will pay off in the long term by creating a more efficient support system, but let's be real - if they can't even handle basic support requests now, what makes them think they'll be able to magically fix everything with a bunch of fancy algorithms? It's time for Google to stop ignoring their customers in favor of their shiny new toys.

Ok, so? Less humans die and how are they tactically or strategically different from a precise wmd? I.e.: their implication can deter conflict.
There are a few big ones:
- The CUDA license does not allow you to use GeForce in the data center. In the US it has become less popular, but if you look at our Inspur AIStation piece, that was a cluster located in China with GeForce cards. So it still happens, but less so.
- The memory capacity is another big challenge. Newer models have 80GB which dwarfs the 24GB on a 4090. We just got the RTX 6000 Ada in, so that is an option for more memory.
- For higher-end training, one of the big challenges is interconnect, so having NVLink and Infiniband or 100GbE+/ Infiniband NICs is important. The HGX A100 platform is designed for that with its NVSwitch and PCIe switch topology.

With all of that said, you are 100% right that many startups have used consumer cards for years. For example, Andrej Karpathy talked about how our DeepLearning11 build (8x 1080 Ti's) had a ~3 month payback period versus AWS https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/924340245478256640

If I were IBM management, I'd be getting a laugh out of all of this. When IBM had to scale back their ambitions for Watson, especially those related to automating medical diagnoses, they were roundly mocked. Do not ask, dear tech companies, for whom the bell of AI overpromising tolls - it tolls for thee!
You do have a point, it's a safer alternative...
Scale. I know of large banks that use Accenture because they can spin up 10 scrum teams overnight when they can’t attract that much (and good) talent themselves. Hertz is a pretty big company with a big transnational footprint. It’s not a Wordpress web site. That said, 32M $ for nothing is still bad.

Porn, a digital good, is easier to circumvent access controls to than alcohol. And we’re crap at keeping our kids from drinking before they’re even fifteen [1].

So I agree with the goal: less porn in front of children. But I disagree with the method: trying to ban it.

I've been seeing content on Tiktok where even 100 miles away they're seeing small dead fish which is apparently according to the folks making the videos a massive red flag.

In general I grow super weary of companies and the government downplaying these sorts of things. It seems to constantly follow the pattern of people saying "It's not that bad" and then only years later do we actually see the horrific health and environmental effects of these sorts of things play out when it's too late for the folks that have been impacted. I feel so helpless like I wish there was a way to prevent this or create enough real accountability that people actually work to minimize these sorts of things but it never seems to pan out that way. My hunch is that the behind the scenes culprit of "why" this happens is rather banal, insurance covers it so people don't have to change, and it seems like those policies create a ton of moral hazard but I don't know the alternatives. I have no answers here it just feels like yet another weight on the side of the scale that the average person has very little control over their lives even for simple things like not being hurt by toxic chemicals in soil / drinking water. Feels easy to lose even more faith in the institutions that are supposed to protect us all.
I mean, I guess "lung cancer" is technically a "respiratory problem" but damn...
I find type errors in HM typing systems can sometimes be quite obscure and misleading, due to omnipresent type inference. Writing type signatures can save you from that. For example, even if the type signature is quite "obvious", you can erroneously plug in some other type into the function, which triggers the type system to underline the function being defined instead of the function call.

I do too, but I saw this person a few times between 2015 and now and the difference is striking.

I've tried a few keto diets myself and never had good experiences with them but I can't deny that they work for him. There's probably a genetic or environmental factor causing different people to react very differently to similar diets, which actually makes n=1 experiments more valuable (for the one doing them).
Even if they can’t discern they could at least have the information on what’s healhy and what’s not. Without sex-ed they’re risking getting bad information and even if their abilities to discern start getting better they’d have a corrupted baseline of what is normal/healthy.

the post talks about freefall (-1g) and +2.7g. These would be very noticeable.
Every rust post brings out one of these. Where's the evidence? The linked article doesn't even touch on on it. rust-lang.org isn't a big rainbow flag or anything.

At most people seem to be offended by the community code of conduct that sort of lays out the golden rule with some added verbage for the thick skulls out there?

Even if it was a big rainbow flag at rust-lang.org, who the hell cares? The language is fantastic and solves real problems.

At least when I was in high school in the early 10's, gym class was about 3 hours per week. We mostly stayed in the gym. This was Texas however. It could be up to 100 degrees until October. Running was not required. Sweating wasn't really required for an A+ as evidenced by some girls in the class. It was a checkbox for the state mandated requirements.
Google fears another Google+ moment I guess.
Yeah and spec isn’t trying to press the real world into arbitrary categories? /s

The thing is, having some structure in terms of types or data shape constraints helps you model and understand your program. You can change them as your understand of your program changes or the need arises. You can be against static types because they force you to slow down and think about things before you can just get to coding, and it can be sometimes annoying to model your system using them (and sometimes not so useful), or other technical reasons like some type systems don’t allow you to model certain things, but to say it just leads to devs putting the real world into stupid, arbitrary categories when the real world (and your program!) primarily have data that can be trivially categorized because that’s what Rich Hickey said makes you sound like cargo-culting or parroting a point without diving deeper into the specific reasons and potential counterarguments.

I'm not denying the accident was bad, I'm tempering an unwarranted level of hysteria for what is another small scale industrial accident.

People are drumming up hysteria for political capital, but its not fair to people who live in Ohio or Pennsylvania and now think they can't use their water, they're doomed to cancer at 45, and their kids will be mutants.

It's being blown way of of proportion to the reality of it. It also why expert testimony is so thin. You'd think by now all the experts would be pouring out to condemn the government. Meanwhile the best NPR could get was one sentence about potential indoor air quality issues going forward (which the EPA report addresses with "no concerning levels detected".

Well he sat at the helm of a very powerful company during one of the largest and longest bull markets in history. Beyond being at the right place at the right time - did he do a good job?
I would say that he is thoroughly mediocre. I don't get the sense that he is very strong as a technically oriented leader or as a product oriented leader. He seems more of a political/consensus leader who is trying to keep the peace without any principle other than 'be respectful'. You can see the problems growing. Costs grow faster than revenue and irrelevant projects drag on, while nobody is providing a clear vision about why anyone should care and why these product are going to be the best. Google does fine without too much leadership so maybe this isn't the worst. That said I think he would be remembered more positively if he were to be fired in the next 6 months.
These are both the same statement, and I agree
