> Is this not considered fraud?

Commenter is being sarcastic, but also pointing out some truth.

For instance, this mobile operator [1] "New S’pore MVNO Gorilla Mobile lets you turn unused mobile data into digital crypto tokens" taking advantage of the AI/crypto craze introducing a completely unnecessary crypto token into the product. It's just pure marketing. Although not exactly lying, you can get the drift the commenter was making.

I'm really surprised to hear people talking about the US, UK, Russia, etc but not talking about Ukraine.
google might have a chance to win the LLM battle, to train multi-modal LLM based on youtube videos, which is a huge advantage over Microsoft.

OpenAI's Codex model got the reasoning ability through github. LLM could learn so much more with real-life videos in an embodied way.
The install option on Chrome isn't in your face nor interrupting. It is a small icon and text on the URL bar.
its true that the name is not accurate. but in reality the name hasnt caused anyone to buy the product because they believed they could take a nap behind the wheel and tesla doesnt deceptively market the product as such. the name is inspirational, maybe one person in the world was taken by surprise by it after buying it. its just a non-issue in the real practical world. and it has nothing to do with the substance of the self-driving conversation. people just splice it in and usually not long after they add in some emerald mine rumors. i would like to just talk about the matter at hand which is self driving.

i have never heard of someone who characterized autopilot as a poorly trained teenager. not sure how thats possible since its just adaptive cruise control for the most part. and poorly trained teenagers can and do drive every day. i think we are past the point of accusations of fraud.
It no longer works - I've had this since they removed the discovery mode during the last major (or was it minor?) release.

So in other words, this is something that someone has to run on the computer, then it injects itself into IIS. Not a remote vulnerability, just an entry point for monitoring HTTP requests once you have code execution in there.
"Beta" just means there are likely to be bugs, not that the intention isn't (level 4/5) "full self-driving".
Couldn't a failure in the PHY also cause a significant enough impedance change to be problematic?
You can't buy a car unless you have proof you have a parking spot, so the cars part is out. Same deal with RVs. No street parking, no RV.

There's no space for people to have a horse.

There's plenty of places that I think everyone would call a "shack" made from old tin that's probably been around since the 50s or so, and is not really any different from a mobile home. So that exists here and people are generally OK with it.

People wouldn't disconnect from the sewer to do septic. That isn't a zoning issue, it's a public health one, and it's obviously illegal.

Honestly, none of the hypotheticals described have to do with zoning. Social pressure to do the right thing is a thing here, but not the only reason that things aren't super chaotic.
And this is why is California is trying to get a 10 year exit tax on your income. They know they’ve fucked their golden goose so they need to extract as much as they can before the system collapses on itself from lack of top earners to pay the majority of the income tax.
This post was very intellectually stimulating indeed.

This was also posted today, criticizing SV culture. Yet it doesn't even have half the votes. This is also not an exception here, but a trend:

I guess Susie stepping down the corporate ladder of a shitty company must be more stimulating.

Also, why the downvotes? I didn't know it was illegal to discuss how banal and uninteresting a post is. Clearly posharma and I see it that way. Yet every time this happens, people get downvoted. Why? Can't you just scroll through and move on, or do other people's opinions bother you?
Definitely. It will probably happen by the time Avatar 2 is released.
I guess I was thinking more in the sense that people follow parties instead of picking individual issues.

But on supporting people, I think Obama definitely had devoted fans. Bernie did as well. I don't think Romney or McCain had the kind of draw to build up a big fan base. A lot of candidates that come along just aren't very exciting to anybody but their corporate handlers.

It's not all that surprising that an Obama or Trump character gets a strong following. Both of them reached out to people who felt like nobody in power cared about them.
Wasnt there like a 10 year gap between the two? It's clear Vine left a gap that TikTok filled but it's wasnt like one shut down and the next started right away... Rgiht?
Are there languages that don't have similar patterns?

Obviously any romance language includes gender, so you need to use the correct gendered article before the noun.

Japanese has different counting words depending on what you're counting.

I don't know if Mandarin has anything similar.
> "perceived" seems like an accurate description of the situation.

Look, I hate all politics and politicians and don't care for one over the other, but I do not understand how anybody can perceive this as a sensible take post twitter-files. It's not perceived, it's indisputably accurate. I get it, I get it, political partisans abound and want to have their tampering ignored, but there should be limits, and this pretty clearly steps over them for anybody paying even the slightest amount of attention.

Unrecoverable Election Screwup in Williamson County TX
If you're CEO of such a successful company and are surrounded by smart people, you don't have to be very good to keep the thing running... Any modest person with half a brain could do it.

Getting respect from employees these days is not difficult; most of them are extreme conformists and worship power for its own sake. They will interpret any dumb words out of your mouth as words of wisdom. Even if everything you say is idiotic, they will bend so far as to assume you speak in metaphors.
Yeah I've seen the multi-account spam scripts way more lately, e.g. one person replies to someone with a vague bit of text with "By the way, does anyone know where I can download free movies and TV shows?" and then a confederate replies linking to some shitware site, then another replies to that person thanking them and reiterating the URL.
I have a near-identical setup, and it’s absolutely spectacular. The worst part was running conduit, since the layout of my home is such that I had to run conduit up from my office, run wire across the attic, then more conduit down the opposite exterior wall to my basement.
If you really want to keep the old behaviour add `export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_FROM_API=1` to your shell’s startup files. You won’t get the speed boost from the new behaviour but it seems like a tradeoff you’d be willing to make.
You seem to have thought I was talking about the utilities of `f` but I wasn't. I not only see the distinction you are talking about, but I'm making still further distinctions. To make it easier to avoid confusion, I'm just going to write some code to explain the distinction rather than trying to use just language to do so.

# Analogy is basically saying things are similar. For example, a good analogy to a function is that same function, but cached.
analogy = memoized(f)

# This is a good analogy because of the strong congruence
[f(x) for x in domain(f)] == [analogy(x) for x in domain(f)]

# But the thing that makes us want to use the analogy is that there are differences
benchmark(f, somePropertyToMeasure) != benchmark(analogy, somePropertyToMeasure)

# For example, in the use of caches in particular, we often resort them to for the time advantage of doing so
benchmark(f, timeMetric) > benchmark(analogy, timeMetric)

# The danger of an analogy breaking down comes when the analogy doesn't actually hold
bad_analogy = memoized(impure_f)

# Because the congruence doesn't hold
[impure_f(x) for x in domain(impure_f)] != [bad_analogy(x) for x in domain(impure_f)]

# All of this matters to the discussion of anthropomorphism because
isinstance(Analogy, anthropomorphism)
isinstance(Analogy, analogy)

Okay, now that you see the structure I'm looking at, lets go back to your comment. You said "because reflex considerations" and I took you to be talking about speed.
Imagine you were watching someone be interviewed about caches. They get tossed the question: "when cache lookups are done what is the typical danger" and they hit the question back with "because they are fast". If you then commented that it isn't true, because typically when we use caches we do it because of the performance benefit of doing so that would be a valid point. Now, since caches are analogies and since anthropomorphism is an analogy, they are going to have similar properties. So the reasonableness of this logic with respect to caches says something about the reasonableness of this logic with respect to anthropomorphism.

Hopefully you can see why I think my reasoning is not weird now and hopefully you agree with me? I've tried to be more specific to avoid confusion, but I'm assuming you are familiar with programming terms like memoization and mathematical terms like domain.
Or you might have prevented them from murdering someone. The probably of them coming back and burning your house down come from television but in reality this is not a murder case where they are threatening you not to appear. This isn't so personal that the 250 dollars will cause them spend time/money on a payback plan. Judging by their car they make a lot more than that nightly and you will never see a dime of that court winning.
Instead of getting lost in minutia, can you explain why Biden, Nuland, Blinken and the rest of the neocon and lib imperialist gang would go on record about getting rid of NS1 and NS2 and then deny they had anything to do with it?

The context here is that Ryan Davis added test order randomization as a default feature to minitest, which was meant to be a mostly-compatible drop-in replacement for the old Test::Unit. Some people complained a lot about this and requested a flag to turn it off. I remember this being hashed out over some time on the ruby-talk mailing list:

https://rubytalk.org/t/minitest-randomization/60387/3

I think the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back was that Rails had order-dependent tests at the time. So Ryan added the flag, with his reluctance reflected by the mildly insulting name and doc comment.
The pipeline is not completely destroyed. It could be repaired.

Putin attacked the Ukraine and used Energy Dependence as a weapon against Europe. Russia bought energy companies. Russia influenced energy politics and politics in general in these countries. Russia reduced the storage and flow of natural gas before the invasion and prepared it to be used as a political instrument in this war, which is not just a war against the Ukraine, but a war against the West (US, EU, NATO, ...).

Energy is one of Russias main weapons against Europe in its expansion politics towards the west.

One would be naive to underestimate the will and evil of Putin to use his weapons, to influence European politics - for example by inducing fear in the population because of energy supply shortages. There is plenty further escalation possible. Putin thought that the Ukraine would fall easily into his hands, Controlling the Energy supplies then would be his many insurance. Now he is in a lengthy war against the Ukraine and he needs to instrument more pressure, like creating fear and panic in the western europe population, which could force western politics to make compromises. Russia still has the gas&oil, it has other pipelines and enough existing or future customers. In a conflict the value of this goes up. Temporarily blowing up a pipeline is only increasing this value.

I don't think you really hate capitalism. You hate people on the other side of your beliefs.

I think capitalism is whats keeping the tenuous peace right now.

Afterall the market research shows roughly 50% of americans think Desantis is on the right track. If that's the case half the country thinks you are a "fascist" or "villian".
Without capitalism, you'd probably be living in an America that would have been far more to the right.
It's the prevailing theory because there's so much evidence for it. We have good models for how it works, they are predictive, we find deposits at various stages in the process, we find fossils of the expected sort throughout coal fields, we find other bio-markers, isotope ratios, as we would expect, etc. We even know why the bulk of the deposits formed when they did -- after plants had evolved cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin but before fungi had evolved the ability to digest these molecules.
A curated set of facts or as you call it “incomplete, but not counter-factual” is not the truth. All facts are the truth and that’s what non opinion news should be reporting.

> What idiot really believes that Russia of all people would want to kill their own golden goose ?

Putin killed his own golden goose by invading Ukraine. Starting this war has been a disaster for Russia's economic future. Putin either doesn't care about that, or drastically miscalculated. Blowing up the pipeline would be consistent with either mindset.

I asked this to ChatGPT.

Its answer?

"Red apple".

...well played.
You can do nested virtualization under VMware and Windows 11 / Hyperv, but there are lots of caveats and requirements. So yes.
I've used ChatGPT for

- Looking for suggestions for a birthday, with some constraints that make most recommendations impossible. I didn't go with anything straight from the suggestions, but I've went with a personalized variant of one of those.

- Looking for suggestions for resources and books on niche languages and read languages.

- Looking for documentation on how to do a certain thing using a certain app or framework, several times.

It seems to me that ChatGPT is no worse in its recommendations than what an expert can give you recollecting what they encountered a year+ ago (in addition to the training data cutoff) without the opportunity to double check if they remembered correctly. It's immensely useful in the same sense that the expert solves most of the discoverability, and leaves you the relatively easy task of sanity checking.

I'm not sure about Bing, but I'd expect similar or better, or eventually similar or better.
Even if the Hersh thesis is completely made up, he still makes more sense than what this guy does.

For one thing. The most plausible reason he can't find the plane dropping the buoy he privides himself.

-It's a small device.
-Better to use a boat.
-Better to use a non military boat.

Yeah? Maybe that is what they did?

It's not impossible the source filled in a few gaps in his story? Or was mistaken? Or Hersh himself might have?

I don't want to go full conspiracy mode myself here but one thing is for sure. And that is that not finding proof of a covert operation can only mean one of two things. Either that it didn't take place or that it indeed was covert.

And why could the source not have said Stoltenberg worked with the Americans since the Vietnam war as a figure of speech?

Hersh article is not enough to base an opinion on imo. But it's not precisely worse off after this guys rather hollow arguments.

Howrver the analysis is not a bad start.

There isn't a lot people can do to affect the baseline air quality in their homes, but having a sensor that can identify negative change is significantly better than nothing. A precise and accurate sensor is nice but doesn't offer much benefits above or beyond that.

If the developer refuses to fix the bugs, and if those bugs pose a risk to other users, there is a strong argument to make that public posting of those bugs is the ethical thing to do.

Sev0 security issues aren't secret just because people who mean well don't talk about them, any sufficiently high valued target is going to have well funded threat actors working to find vulnerabilities. By publicly disclosing the issues, you let other customers know their data is threatened, and then customers can work together to force vendors to fix issues.

Frankly, if you're just writing a local CLI tool with Node, it's not really an issue. Most of the build tool features listed in the article aren't needed for a local JS runtime. Node is even getting a built-in testing framework, and Deno can run Typescript without an intermediate step!

Build tools for JS solve problems that other languages don't have to worry about. You can't use Python (directly) in a browser which means none of these things are important:

1. Bundle size. This doesn't really matter when you're just running it locally. Maybe you want the final binary to be somewhat small, but it could still be many dozens of megabytes and it'd be a non-issue. If a website was like 50MB, it'd be incredibly slow.

2. Platform compatibility. Every user is running a slightly different environment. Gotta support different browsers, or older ones? Now you need to polyfill the language features to exactly what the browser supports. Compiled languages don't have to worry about that at all, and even with Python, you're mostly just worried about the major language version a user might have installed (iirc).

3. Anything related to writing UIs. In JS, you're writing for the browser, which has a pretty limited set of APIs for writing complex, interactive UIs. Hardly anything to help write interactive declarative or reactive UIs. On top of that, since the site is always remote, pretty much everything has a round-trip to a server involved. This means you may start pulling in dependencies to help solve these problems. In Python, you probably just choose a UI framework like QT and it gives you most everything out of the box.

My point is just that we tend to compare JavaScript to other languages without really considering the unique environment JS gets deployed to. It's really not comparable. If Python (or any other language) was running in a browser, you'd have a huge new class of problems for that language to solve which it just didn't need to care about before.

I feel like the meaningful comparisons to JS are related to language syntax, type system, local runtime performance, dependency management, etc. And those topics are a lot more subjective!
Those last two examples indicate you have a tribalistic bias though:

Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald changed their politics which you’re implying impacts their credibility because their friends (fellow members of your tribe) said mean things about that.

Further, why is Christopher Hitchens changing his politics relevant to a discussion about journalist credibility — and even mixed into a paragraph about hoaxes?
This is no doubts this sabotage was conducted as a "special operation", and the nature of those is usually to remain secret for a long time.

I think Occam's razor is helpful in this case.
