Yes, you are. We ALL are… it’s not possible for a human being born in our moment of our species’ collective history, nor one born at any earlier moment, to not be racist, any more than it is for them to not be prone to sexism, nationalism, ableism, or for that matter just simple confirmation bias. We simply aren’t far enough removed from very recent — never mind still ongoing — atrocities committed solely on skin-color bias for the relatively small number among us who have actively engaged in what was until very recently criminalized miscegenation to claim to be free of tribalism. You’ll know you’ve stopped being racist when you and your wife and your children don’t even have a term for the differences between you, and never have had one… not a moment sooner.

I kind of solved this with salt stack. But i still have like 15 machines where cfg management is nogo. I will use built in pass manager there. But i am open to tips.
For a quarter. Which I would pay now for a single article that interested me, no physical paper required.
How cache-friendly are zip/enumerate implementations? Zig is influenced by the ideas behind Data Oriented Design, mentioned in the article (and a buried lede, if you ask me). Explicit for loops like this are generally cache-friendly and ideal for eg game programming, as shown in the structs of arrays example.

I have ca. 190 test cases on which I run my software and compare the md5 sums of the resulting PDF. If they are not the same, I create a PNG for every page and compare visually with imagemagick.

The trick is to remove all random stuff from the PDF (like ID generation or such).

This takes about 3 seconds on the M1 Pro laptop. I think this is very much okay.

Photoshop used to be a piece of software you could buy once and then use. You could pay to upgrade each year, or you could keep using your current version and not have access to the new features. Not anymore, its keep buying the new features whether you need them or not. Stop paying, and you have to stop using all of it. The consumer doesn't get a choice.

The worst part I think about many subscription models, is that they can force changes on you that actually make the product WORSE. Hey this new version of the software does X, and I hate X. I want to keep using the older version but I can't and I have to pay to get something I don't want.

If you HAD to subscribe to other things like software makes you, like you have to have an office chair subscription and you had to pay for whatever nonsense changes they made to your chair or you get no chair at all, you'd probably find that a bad deal. Especially if all the chair companies operated the same way.
How could it happen that we haven't thought of these problems before we turned everything into car infrastructure?
Sure we won't run out of water, the challenge is gonna come when weather patterns shift in a way that cause droughts on crop-bearing land or abnormal temperatures in key parts of the growing season. Some parts of the world may be in for some considerable pain in those scenarios.
> In court cases we have a norm that evidence you destroy is treated as evidence against you, for good reason.

Destruction of evidence is considered only evidence of consciousness of guilt and cannot be used to prove guilt alone. The court also has to consider that an innocent person may commit destruction of evidence to avoid wrongful prosecution from situations that look damning.
I own 3 cats by accident, and I didn't really "get" owning a cat before the first one's mom decided to abandon her new born kitten right in front of my house hahaha. Yet I don't think my political beliefs have really changed since, but maybe I need more cats for that to happen!
I thought it was an interesting premise going into the article, but the individual results are all over the map, and vary a significantly between men and women in the study. Correlating those with political affiliation seems dubious to me.
No, you turn the pages, but you don't have to unbind the book or press the face down to get a good scan. Just place the book facing up and turn the page and it will perspective correct and scan for you.

Diffusion is so interesting. Unlike LLM that have some parallels to how the human mind works, it's not as obvious that reverse engineering from noise to a prompt has any similar parallels.

Will this cause us to hit walls at some point or actually exceed what a human can create?
Sure, but that is a predictable kind of result, not “rm -rf /“.
You're missing the important part, the LEDs and Hydroponics theoretically reduce the inputs (80% less water is often a figure used) and time to market - grow lights potentially mean 4-5x as much grow time in the winter; but maybe < 2x in summer.

Remarkable to see in this article that humans still think that their meddling with systems they fundamentally do not understand will yield beneficial outcomes.
I agree with you... except this IS the W3C, and the whole point is they set standards for websites. If they looked nothing like every other site, that'd actually be a bigger problem.
The real problem is living close to your neighbors and wishing you could escape things that entails.
Every anecdote about Nixon has this same problem because it turns out his administration was full of garbage people with horrific moral compasses. Maybe we shouldn't be so skeptical of those claims though, since the verifiable stuff from the tapes are also pretty terrible
Wait, so if it sticks around in the cat for just a few weeks, is that also true for humans? Or is it permanent for us, and cats are just better at getting rid of it?
Send a factory to a carbonaceous asteroid that builds a factory that builds a larger factory that makes plastic films, coats them with metal and has them fly back to the Earth-Sun L1 point as solar sails.

I can't decide if it makes sense to deal with the problems of sending people that far or deal with the problems of doing it all through remote control with some people living at some place like Earth-Moon L1 who have a replica of the system that they can do experiments on.
I know that everyone is getting into the nitty-gritty of the Data Science vocation, but I (a non-Data Scientist) see this as someone that is fundamentally dissatisfied by their career, and that is something that many of us can relate to.

It's certainly something that happened to me, and getting laid off, and then shunned by the industry, ended up being one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Because lettuces has a short growing cycle. One of the best cases for artificial light is that it can be used in times when natural light is not enough. If you have a crop like lettuces, that you can only grow 2x per year and now you can grow 12x per year in the same space it's easier to make the case than something like garlic that can be in the ground up to 8-9 months. If you can only turn the 'ground' or pod over once/year just like normal than you're only getting the stacking, but you could just use shelves in a greenhouse then and skip most of the tech.

Strawberries are another good one, you can only double your production in beds with a 6 month growing cycle, (granted, you can stagger your growing cycles in an artificial environment).

An awful lot of small scale farming is about turning over the resources you have as fast as possible to put product on the market and that is the same for flat land farming and vertical farming.

It's not unlike other kinds of startups where you aim for an mvp maybe even a profitable mvp before you move on to the complex stuff for the big customers.

Lettuces is a small farming MVP regardless of the tech used for farming (vertical, greenhost, flatland).
Have you? How many, exactly?

In any case, it's not clear why interpreting Adam Smith (1723-1790) is an appropriate criterion here. Of course, I don't grant without evidence that you possess a correction interpretation of Adam Smith. FWIW (not much) I read The Wealth of Nations many years ago, though I don't claim to be a Smith scholar, and I have no wish to debate the matter with you. I just find it strange that you feel the need to drag him into this discussion.

Is there any kind of potential law that can be used against this?

There are limits to what contracts are allowed to legally do. And the idea that a contract can be broken, to the detriment of one side, due to the actions of a third party that neither has control over, and that the contract isn't primarily about, seems highly suspect.

Obviously there are some legitimate reasons for contracts around third-party actions -- betting, derivatives, insurance policies, and so on. Which are either for entertainment or risk mitigation.

But what Amazon is doing here simply feels abusive. However I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if there's a legal term for this type of "abuse" in contract law.
Indeed.
All the weights for all the models will be available one way or the other very soon.

The proprietary nature of the weights is not going to be a bottleneck for more than a month, if I had to guess.

The other bottle-neck to personal use — the hardware required to run (not train from scratch) the thing - is going to be gone within the year I bet. I would assume some clever bloke is going to be able to prune the model or decrease the precision of the weights and discover you can get good-enough results with 1/10th of the memory.

What happens then?

Well, probably some Very Bad Things.
We covered the prince in high school civics. It took me too decades to come up with an answer to the Ends Justify the Means. The objection is that The means are an end. How you do things is important in and of itself. And more important than just one particular thing at the moment.

I do wonder why auto-optimise-store isn't enabled by default. Is there a historical reason for it? Would Eelco accept a PR making it the default?
In the emergence of new sectors backed by technology focused venture capital this scenario is to be expected though.

Often these bubbles are depicted as hype cycles, where you have inflated expectations of a particular technology, which show disappointing real world performance leading to a dip in confidence where ultimately a long term productive solution emerges.

Another way to think about this process is to take an evolutionary approach to technolgy development. Initially there's a lot variation of various firms trying to solve a particular problem, each with their own solution based on more or less novel technology. The issue is the selection phase where the technolgy competes in the real world and compete not only against other technological solutions but in a sociotechnical system including e.g. regional institutions such as local culture, regulations, politics, markets that are often aligned with the existing industry.
Ultimately one or a few solutions are retained and integrated into our collective infrastructure and provide a consistant solution to the original problem, and in a capitalistic model - profitable returns.
Obscurity through pronouncement
Given that the cops have never needed much of a reason to illegally beat people up, I admire anyone who cares about making that statement so much that they're willing to risk it.
Why not measure REM cycles in your analysis is disrupted phases of sleep is the root cause of the memory issues?
VCs had so much money that they couldn't do that work. They have to invest all that money someplace no matter what, even if a moment's thought would show it was a bad investment because they need to show a return on investment, and sitting on a lot of cash isn't showing a return.

This is one way the little guy can beat the market: you are allowed to sit out the market for obviously flawed things. Beware though, that thinking is also why many little guys didn't get rich on Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the other big names that at one time looked like bad investments.
all they would have to do is change a single pixel and/or re-export as a different format

This sounds plausible if you don't know how perceptual hashing works:

I wonder if this is actually bad.

There's an argument I see in favor of building luxury condos and apartments. If they're built, the richest people will vacate their current residences to live there. The next richest people vacate their current residences to move into the now empty residences of the richest people. The third richest group also upgrades to the now empty apartments of the second richest, and so on. At the end of the line, we see that everybody has upgraded, and I don't think this upgrade guarantees people pay more, at least in theory (supply increased while demand remained constant, after all).

Could this happen with cars? Seems like we're moving into a world where instead of the options being nice-new and shitty-new, the options are nice-new and nice-old. Maybe that's not so bad.

(As an aside, their analysis seems pretty flawed by not adjusting for inflation.)
Not necessarily. There are much newer technologies than simple hashes of files now, which are effectively content-aware image hashing algorithms which are highly resistant to manipulation techniques (re-encoding, resizing, even things like rotation/blur) they are of course tunable algorithms which the more you want to catch the more false positive rate there is but you can already today do much better than simple file hash.

Look at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/photodna and https://openbase.com/python/ImageHash/documentation
They might wait until 2063 to tell us what happened to Michael Hastings, except they probably won't ever confirm their successes, only aborted plans and failures. It's a conspiracy theory to believe that the government has ever been successful at anything.
I'd know those FontAwesome icons on https://beta.w3.org/developers/ anywhere.

Honestly though consistency is probably preferred here. I see top nav, a hamburger icon, a breadcrumb title bar and a search button, I have confidence in my expectations for how those will behave. With a documentation site, the ability to navigate and find what you need takes precedence over being 'delighted' by some landing page.

Actually in this case they broke my expectation by having the search just redirect to duckduckgo with a site parameter.

The Memphis seems like a decently modern take as well with the gradients thrown in.
Except it won't work. The intermittency problem of renewables doesn't make them cheaper - there is no low-cost solution to that. The intermittency makes energy more expensive. Further, their population is already shrinking. Labor costs will start to rise quite rapidly in Chain, making things more expensive.

Renewable penetration hasn't made energy cheaper anywhere where it is a significant portion of the supply grid.
Let's not be mock people when they say stuff out of frustration. That's just pushing people's buttons. We've all gotten frustrated and said something silly like that. No need to rub it in. You could've made the same point in a constructive manner.

Space, Water, Transportation, and small workforce.

Alaska, Hawaii, Medium/Small island nations would be the target market for these; Where imports are expensive, the local soil grows no crops, and fresh water expensive. (especially if they are cold/dark or too hot for produce)
Ford (or any finance company) will presumably offer cheaper financing if they know that their repo costs are lowered by this functionality.
Depending on where you live, wearing a mask (as in: face covering, not the COVID masks) at a public protest or demonstration can be a punishable offense forbidden by law… and I'm not talking about autocratic states but many civilized and relatively liberal Western countries, cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mask_law
If you mean I had support because I used the word friends, I use that term pretty loosely. They were my roommates and tolerated me up until they were tired of my shit.

Edit: No, sorry, I'm referring to the results section of the study where they talk about the fact that this is a small slice of a broader picture where toxoplasmosis -> stress -> political views. Because that seems like it's the "point" of this study. You have a mild chronic condition that affects a lot of people pretty much uniformly and adds stress. So if you see a difference in infected/not-infected then you have a strong case that more stress -> more conservative.

> It was suggested by that these associations might be the results of a mild chronic stress caused by the toxoplasmosis infection instead of the result of the toxoplasmosis itself. The presence of a chronic stress not only explain the presence of behavioral and political differences with the non-infected control group, but also the presence of sex differences in these behavior and ideologies as different responses to chronic stress in the two sexes, involving differences in the immune system response and in the coping strategies used

> previous studies showed that infected subjects scored lower in novelty seeking, a factor that contributes to a conservative and political opinion
bikeshedding isn't helpful.
Sure, perhaps my example was too extreme. What about:

$ gitgpt commit files with msg cleaning repo files and push

git commit -m msg
git clean -fdx
git push

Without `git-add`, 1st one is a NO-OP, 2nd is a destructive action, 3rd is a NO-OP. All vaguely related to the topic at hand, "hallucinating" such a destructive action seems at least plausible.
It's really the portrayal of "cultural leftism" that leaves something to be desired. It's framed in such a way to make "cultural leftism" seem not only more paternalistic than they would describe their goals but to portray the issues facing minorities as more abstract and ephemeral than they actually are.

I notice how you only focus on the defensible definition as if the conflation of liberalism with some conservative goals could be the only objection to your post.
Right, and from my reading there is no strong EMC components in the solar storms. Radios are disrupted, but from ionosphere changes, not from jamming. it is mostly the weird GIE thing which is described as "quasi-DC", and also mentions "millions of amperes"

So all that EMC stuff is very important in everyday life (and it killed more than one FET :) ), but seems inapplicable for Carrington-style event. There, it will be all about huge currents and low voltages. If the wire is long enough, TVSs may burn out, capacitors may overvolt and explode, any ESD protection diodes will also get destroyed. Luckily, we don't have a lot of long-distance copper wires connected to sensitive electronics.
Lol, if you think Gnome is an apple copy, you haven't seen any of the new Chinese DEs.

Also from experience, Gnome absolutely destroyes MacOS in usability, macOS is really crappy.
I guess I don't have it then, since I don't look like that. But that picture is a gem, even if I'd guess it's not very scientifically accurate!
Vertical farming for for produce. It’s entirely different from row cropping commodity crops.
Sometimes I think of cars as a classic prisoner's dilemma. If everyone has cars, everyone is worse off than if we all agreed not to have them. But individuals in isolation will always choose to have a car if they even slightly benefit. In most first-world countries now anyone of nearly any socioeconomic status can get access to a car, so we've hit maximum saturation which decreases quality of life for everyone.

The negativity of car infra was very slow to appear and for a long time cars appeared to be a miracle. For some it's obvious in retrospect that we've over-invested in motor vehicle infrastructure, but for many the negative externalities are still not clear and/or ignored by the training of societal norms.
NYC needs to build more.

Transport networks really benefit from network effects; each additional line benefits from connecting to the existing network. The IBX rail project was recently proposed in New York and found to have 100k+ daily riders, which blows pretty much everything else in the US out of the water.

The other issue is that land use planning in the US except in a select few places like New York is really bad for transit. Transit can certainly be "build it and they will come", but also the land around transit needs to legally permit that as well. Rail is only really efficient at high utilization, and most US cities refuse to permit the development that makes rail useful.

This comparison picture really brings home the point that in most US cities the land use is causing rail value per dollar spent to be really low: Atlanta and Barcelona had similar population numbers and metro lengths in 1990. https://ti.org/images/AtlantavBarcelonametro.jpg
Glory or Gravity? John Hutchinson and Isaac Newton
Truth be told, there is no reason to believe that what is popular in web design is particularly good for accessibility or the sensibilities of people. In fact, I'd argue "Corporate Memphis" in particular is something that became overused in spite of the fact that it offended sensibilities for many.

That said, I think over-applying the "accessibility" viewpoint to bleed into things that really don't have to do with accessibility is an anti-pattern. I do not feel like KDE is less "accessible" due to the artwork and character mascots of Tyson Tan, even though it may not appeal to everyone's sensibilities. At the end of the day, I'd argue in favor of unique and memorable designs that feel like they have some personality rather than like something a committee carefully constructed to be as inoffensive as they could imagine.
