In some countries it might be illegal to disturb someone's possession of something, as a general rule, regardless of legitimate ownership.

For example, in Sweden, if it's been more than 24 hours, it's illegal to do it on your own.
Here's a map of drilling density of the world.[1] About a third of the world's land masses have been fairly well explored. In developed countries, even the unpromising areas show considerable drilling. Note the well density in Europe and Japan, areas not noted for oil reserves.

Other than in one location in Mali, nobody has found substantial deposits of hydrogen.[2][3]

What does “IC cutout” say about a Marine who is now a private citizen. How am I looking at this, precisely?
I work at a publisher that has been around for 200 years. Of course there is a library. There are also books lying around all over the place.

I haven't seen any technical litterature though.
Absolutely agree. You don't hear about all the times that Bing is doing good because it's not exciting or interesting to talk about. I've been saving a lot of time with this Bing search chat by just asking it very simple things that I just really quickly want the answer to without having to click on another website first. It simply just does not go insane if you just talk to it for like 2 or 3 prompts which is kind of all you need unless you're dicking with it.

Yes. It’s pretty unavoidable if you have the usual corporate behemoth ASP.Net ball and chain which has been dragged along begrudgingly for the last 20 years. And no it’s not going to be ported to .Net Core for ages because it has some proprietary component or library plugged into it and the vendor ceased to exist ten years ago and your entire business relies on it being patched by a involuntary black hat with mono Cecil to remove the licensing code. Plus everyone who wrote it is either dead or left so even small changes require a week of reverse engineering.
It’s definitely possible that there is a bias; users that have perfectly working VanMoofs don’t complain on the forums and just ride their bikes.
Secure Boot without enrolling your own keys and deleting the shipped ones is not more than snake oil.

In such a case you can just disable it as it doesn't provide anything than additional hassle.
Over 10 years. It's one thing to have a story out there no one can prove, it's quite another to have been continuously publishing things you can't prove and which no one else can find any evidence of despite looking.

There are multiple factual claims about verifiable vessels, planes and movements being made and none of them are true.

All your saying is, despite obvious factual inconsistencies in the parts of the story which should be publicly verifiable, you've already got a conclusion you like. Which is what everyone's doing because the real big secret is "it was Russia" is a boring conclusion that doesn't move clicks.
You may be right that this isn't surprising, but the current situation still seems very worrisome.

Suppose you're a judge presiding over the trial over a violent criminal. The defense lawyer says: "Your honor, the evidence is irrefutable -- my client is guilty. However, my client grew up in a violent neighborhood. Violence is all he's known for his entire life. He's just regurgitating what he was trained on."

As the judge, do you find this defense persuasive? Does the "regurgitating what he was trained on" defense allow you to conclude that this person is not a danger to society?
But that isn't what this thread is about. The thread is about AI having perfect domain knowledge about every single topic and being able to write any software with that or else you are sticking your head in the sand.
this ended up being the fix! Thanks!
Not VanMoof, but I worked in the project team doing the theft recovery platform for Gazelle. We managed to recover literally almost every bike, and the recovery rate was 140% because we often found more than just 1 bike reported stolen.

It really worked unexpectedly well, I've heard a lot of skepticism and I don't know how things are at VanMoof but if the will is there it really works
I take cheap to mean stolen in this case.
> Where are sperm samples coming from? Some people give samples because they are sperm donors, others because they are infertile and want to figure out why.

That's about enough to conclude all this doesn't mean much. The only way to have reliable data is to have a great sample selected at random; if the incoming data is not random, but is in fact skewed by factors relevant to the data we're looking for, there's very little value in it.

The rest of this (excellent) article explains why the procedures are inconsistent, geographically as well as historically, and poorly documented, etc., and lists many reasons why the various studies could be flawed. It ends without a definitive conclusion, and saying we don't quite know.

This prudence is admirable, but IMHO the anxiety about sperm count seems largely overblown. I'm not too worried.

Edit: One important thing the article doesn't talk about is how sperm is actually counted. Obviously researchers don't count all 150 to 300 million sperms per sample; they probably count a small (or very small) sub-sample and extrapolate. At least they did when they first started studying this. And maybe today some studies use machines? Or other sophisticated / more precise methods? And others don't? The evolution and diversity of the counting methods is obviously a major factor that needs to be discussed.
Not same, since none of them have such loud names as Holodomor and are not considered genocide anywhere.

Collectivization initially leads to decrease and then to increase. In USSR result got so bad due to collection of reasons, unrelated to collectivization. Collectivization was badly needed in USSR, since 95% of population were inefficient farmers. It was a must for later industrialization.
Yes it would, or at least a similar operation.

The point of using a CNN instead of a FCN is that you force it to learn in a certain way that prevents overfitting. But given a sufficient dataset, and proper data augmentation you would expect a FCN to be able to identify objects regardless of translation. It's just that a CNN would train easier and better, with a smaller network (a FCN doing convolutions would be very wasteful).

That's why traditionally you would pick your architecture to help it learn in a certain way (images=cnn, text=rnn/lstm/gru). But the nice thing about transformers is that they are more general.
There’s some sort of corollary to Bayes’ theorem that says that any AI model that is trained on a corpus reflective of the broader internet will go insane.

>> I've actually been accused of "only knowing" this or that because I "read a lot." Well, no shit, and if others bothered themselves with it they'd learn cool shit, too!

Once I had a manager challenging on making things up regarding a rather thick white paper he forwarded me, because there is no way I could have read it that fast. Once he saw I commented the whole thing beginning to end in Word, well, his face was priceless. Side effect was me looking for a new job a couple of months later.

Totally agree on reading as kind of a super power. Reading in the sense of reading and understanding, do so rather quickly, and be able to condense the relevant parts out of whatever text you. And remember the rest well enough to be able to look it up when needed. Same goes for handbooks, people, read your damn handbooks!

It's funny so, that for RPG stuff I went all digital with the exception of the existing pre-PDF era collection I have. And for technical stuff I am like you, preferably paper. For English literature India is a really good source to get those books at affordable prices through Amazon. Pretty sure those sellers are not supposed, or even allowed, to sell internationally, but they do. Worst case print quality is somewhat sub-par, from what I saw with some of my colleagues, or the cover is somewhat generic (in case of the majority of my library). The editions are the same so, content wise.

Things were already pretty screwed up atleast a decade ago when I was there for a short while, this was around the time Google+ was being "dogfooded", so it wasn't even quarter the size it is now. I was only an intern but the other older programmers I was working with were all bored and doing minimal work, with no sense of pride or purpose, treating it like a government job with a good lunch program and free massages.

The pay is high and work relaxed, so a lot of 'local maximizers' tend to seep in, the type of people who want to do just enough and avoid any sort of extra effort or experiment with anything new. The kind of people who would choose courses based on how easy it is to get a high grade and not based on how interesting or useful it would be.

For people to innovate constantly, they need to feel a sense of pride in service to customers and a sense of purpose as to why they are doing their work. For an organization to innovate they need fear that they will go extinct if they don't. As long as the firehose of revenue that is search keeps going, they will keep sucking at everything else.

I remember reading a popular science article a while back: apparently we have managed to construct the complete neural connectome of C. Elegans (a flatworm) some years ago and scientist were optimistic that we would be able to simulate it. The article was about how this had failed to realize because we don't know how to properly model the neurons and, in particular, how they (and the synapses) evolve over time in response to stimuli.

It's an interesting book, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the evidence provided by the book does not really hold up.
It isn't new in principle, but it is different in scale. It's a bit like junk mail: the occasional envelope isn't a problem, but once it reaches a scale where it drowns out your real mail it's a serious issue. Then you digitize the same concept and an entire medium becomes next to useless.

"Quantity has a quality all its own" comes to mind (whoever said it first doesn't really matter). That is what this is about.
It is unethical if you know it's likely stolen. That's what the parent meant with a "cheap" bike.
Perhaps historically there was evolutionary selection pressure towards higher sperm counts, and something about modern (as in Holocene) human behavior has eliminated this selection pressure, and thus sperm counts are now varying randomly.

As long as the bootloader/kernel image is signed, I don't think it matters to secure boot whether or not it was loaded off a USB stick. Presumably the firmware implementing the secure boot check must copy the image into RAM before verifying it anyway, at which point the USB storage doesn't matter.

Of course, the firmware may be configured to refuse to boot a USB drive as a matter of policy.
Terraform is more infrastructure as config file. Think CDK, Bicep or Pulumi for actual code.

Even if you almost never reboot your box it can go into deep sleep when it's not used. It doesn't "heat the planet" significantly when doing so.

ICBMs reach speeds of Mach 20 (around 7km/second) at the end of their course, not something you can hit with a modified RPG. You can try and hit them around launch time (launch, not lunch) but you'll need to find the site first and be close by.
Nethack already has a wonderful GUI. Characters are graphical (if it's on the screen, it's a graphic), and there's plenty of tiles you can use.
I know this is somewhat sacrilegious to say but I think for all the reasons you say DCSS is a much better game than nethack. Some years ago I went through a phase of being quite into nethack and ascended a couple of times, but really lost interest because there are too many situations where there is only one correct way to play. There’s also just a lot of arbitrary nonsense that they expected you (not sure whether this has changed) to have read the source code to know with zero discoverability in the game.
1) takes about 3 months and an interview with a police officer, than you can buy whatever you want(handguns are not allowed under any circumstances though)

I understand the power of angle grinders (so much that I'm still hesitant to buy one), but I object to a battery-powered angle grinder _not_ being "more tools". It has to be at least one level above what the Average Bike Thief carries around, hasn't it? They are certainly not stealthy.

Of course, it's quite possible that the Average Bike Thief in Amsterdam is a well-organized criminal-for-hire kind of person, doing surgical strikes against the most valuable bikes and so on (as is often the case with car theft, afaik). Then perhaps an angle grinder is just standard Day 1 equipment.

Wait is your argument adjectives can only be applied to Tesla marketing terms, and not to other English words?

What do you think “FSD recall” or “software recall” means

Tesla released software that can kill people. It must do a FSD recall

This is not the same as Apple doing an OS update, not mandated by a regulatory body because it could kill someone

I was hit by a driver not paying attention. I had to get two surgeries, was not allowed to stand for 9 months, spent another year just rehabbing my nervous system and learning to walk. I still can’t jump or run

Tesla released software it’s marketing as “full self driving” that is not even Level 2 Alpha! Full Self Driving implies a level 5 system.

Tesla’s software has disclaimers like “may not behave as expected in sunlight”. Even its AutoPilot has these disclaimers.

It constantly claims FSD makes drivers safer. Yet it’s non transparent with its data, the data & comparisons it does release is completely misleading to the point of fraud, comparing apples to oranges. The cars it’s released on public roads to untrained drivers runs through intersections (it’s all over YouTube) and fails all kinds of basic driving tests. Tesla accepts ZERO responsibility if someone is killed while FSD is activated… that’s how little confidence it has in its own product

This is a product that can maim and kill humans, ruin people’s entire lives… and your response is incoherent mumbling about adjectives ?

Any person who is majorly confused by what a “software recall” is… or can’t figure out what this FSD recall means for them, shouldn’t be beta testing a 2-ton machine on public roads. They shouldn’t be driving period.

Kagi is basically that answer, but they have their own index (which is excellent) instead of DDG’s multi-other-index method. I use kagi almost exclusively and almost never need to type !g or !ddg. I think it’s ~$10/mo but easily worth it to me to support a privacy-first search company. I first started using them after reading about it on HN last year

They also have a few nice extra features like being able to customize your own index by marking certain domains up-ranked or down-ranked (or removed entirely), depending on what you like, and you get full control over that.

There are only a few companies that I advocate so highly for, but I feel like they’re just so good…

(Edit: maybe they don’t rely as heavily on their own index actually? Now I’m not so sure. Will look into it to fact check myself)
Ah yes, an addon whitelist. How very community friendly of Mozilla...

Ed Crooks, formerly of the FT and now at WoodMac had this to say in his energy pulse this week.

> While there is clearly still a great deal that we don’t know about this incident, one crucial aspect of Hersh’s story — the supposed US motive for sabotaging the pipelines — seems flawed. He argues that “President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponise natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions” in Europe, and was determined to stop that. But by September 2022, when the blasts happened, Russia had already stopped flows through Nord Stream, claiming it was unable to operate the pipeline because of the West’s sanctions on critical equipment that required maintenance. There was consensus among commentators and politicians that flows were unlikely to resume.

> Blowing up Nord Stream did not really change the outlook for European gas markets. One thing it did do was provide a more solid justification for Gazprom’s argument that it was unable to supply contracted volumes to Germany. And that is something that will weigh in future arbitration of damages claims from European utilities.

The smarter this chatbot becomes, the larger the de facto pool of "intelligent people that have a nefarious motive" gets. Take a common criminal, add a supersmart chatbot, what's the result going to be?

We're lucky that education tends to bring empathy and foster prosocial attitudes. The supervillian trope of an intelligent person with an explicit nefarious motive is actually somewhat rare in real life. This chatbot could easily change things for the worse, if it doesn't understand right from wrong, and provides help to lowlife criminals.

Yes, it is very memory unsafe. Subverting the type system often the main source of memory unsafety in most languages. It typically means you can treat an arbitrary integer as a pointer to any other object.
