I actually agree with you, but SF class A office isn’t representative of the commercial market that these banks lend into.

Your next President...
I was naturally skeptical of the punchng article, so I crosschecked it against OP's CSV. The votes in the article do agree with OP's CSV (although the number of accredited voters differs slightly).

The crosschecked results are in KADUNA_crosschecked on line 3800. The image is here: https://inec-cvr-cache.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cached/res...

Accredited voters: 276, Registered voters: 750, APC: 98, LP: 54, PDP: 102, NNPP: 11

All that said, I don't think that the results for 276 voters in one polling unit in one ward in one local government area in one state is clear evidence that Obi lacks support. If anything, the fact that OP's CSV matches a (potentially biased) news article gives me more faith in OP's tallies and claims.

(Aside: it seems _easier_ to lose an election in your own polling unit, where variance plays a larger part, than it is to lose on a wider scale.)

Reddit has been around for long enough that there isn't really a good reason as to why a user can't block out entire subreddits (vs "muting") from appearing in their feeds - there are ways to use the site that accomplish that, but it's not a very user-friendly design (imo)

For as long as I've been on Twitter it's always been super easy to block keywords, accounts, adjacently related topics, etc.

Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with your underlying point that users should be allowed to curate their experience with a platform.
Misleading headline - the article doesn't actually call Block Inc a fraud.

It just claims that Block Inc are overvalued, that their metrics are misleading, and that their platform is facilitating fraud.
The difference is it's likely possible to have 7 physical servers replace those 700VMs when you have your own hardware without all the overhead.

Sure but OpenAI isn’t preventing research. It’s not their responsibility to provide reproducibility, at their expense, for any researchers looking at GPT, that job is the responsibility of the researchers, and the researchers still can work. It might be unfortunate from their perspective that there used to be a nice tool that makes their job easier, but the flip side here is that OpenAI didn’t say why they’re removing access to codex, and they probably have good reasons, not least of which is it costs them money that researchers aren’t subsidizing.

You need to have some sort of system in place to prevent illegal content in your platform.

More specifically and related to krapp's comment, the system is already in place via section 230 at least for the USA. It is on the website operators to remove illegal content in a timely manor rather than find a fullproof way to prevent it in the first place.

In the practical sense the implementation of this varies by hosting platform, where the site operators reside, how popular the platform is and how much attention it garners political, social, etc... and how diverse an audience the platform has. Small sites can lose their hosting accounts, CDN accounts and DNS registration if they do not remove content in a timely manor. Small VPS providers will nuke an account without hesitation because they stand to lose more than they gain from the tiny bit of money they make from having the account holder.

Bigger sites, especially those operated by big corporations are expected to put more mitigating controls and audit trails in place. Big corporations buy themselves some leniency by creating portals for law enforcement to get audit trail data real time without requiring warrants.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

> Being able to earn money whenever you want so you don't have to build your life around your work

And yet, every instance of gig economy pushes wages way down, pushes all the externalities (like health insurance, travel, equipment etc.) onto workers and makes their life revolve around work.

> That would make game development much more palatable, since gig work implies no overtime unless you want it.

As others already mentioned: then you'll be out of the job, because there will always be people willing to work overtime for the same money.

And since it's "just a gig", you can be let go even faster than it is now for workers in the US.

Ever since we went hunting for tiles for our first remodeling, I've been thinking about why not Wang tiles[1][2] were available.

I mean obviously it'd be too much cost and hassle, since you need at least 5 different tiles to tile a plane, but I'm still curious how it would actually turn out on a real floor or wall, with an interesting pattern on the tiles.

While you need multiple Wang tiles, at least they can be square rather than a rather awkward polygonal shape. So there's that...

Without meaning to start a flamewar, I'd give a shout to Napoleon. Took over when France was in chaos, and turned it into a wealthy powerhouse, spread Enlightenment values, built incredible cultural treasurehouses. He was a great general and administrator and leader. Yes, some of the family members he appointed to run parts of the empire weren't great, nor were his successors. And yes, invading Russia was a mistake. But still seems a good example of "rolling the dictator dice".

The speed at which Microsoft is releasing interesting products this year is crazy (Bing AI, Copilot X, Designer, and now Loop)... They must have a nice lean organization. I know many corporate that even if they want and put crazy budgets to it, will not succeeed due to internal process and approvals...
Sounds to me that they are solving a very "local" problem in the sense that the solution depends strongly on local shapes only. And also the number of shapes seems very limited, so you could cache a lot of this probably. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, and that's the difference between a big profitable company doing research as a side-hustle, and a company whose business IS the research.

One interesting and somewhat scary exception seems to be Microsoft; they seem to be converting a lot of their recent research projects into commercial value.

I worked on this project as a Lead FE Developer. Management was a shit show and they were dreaming with scope. Our first "epic set" was supposed to be delivered sprint 1, wasn't completed until like 5 months later. We brought it up immediately and were shut down at every step of leadership. Eventually complained enough that I personally got rotated off, but it's to this day the worst project I've ever been on.
Ah, yes, it’s the people who got scammed who are at fault. Everyone should always be ultra suspicious of everyone around them, no happiness or fun allowed. \s

I want to live in a world where I can trust a random stranger, not suspect them of robbing me. Justifying some extra protections like a pin or a fingerprint check to finalize a transactions should not be this big of a deal.
It's less about my hands, and more about reading the paper :D
What do you do with those app outputs though? I’m guessing it still feels hard because it won’t automatically map to a mesh that is good to go in your game engine?

The MetaHumans drop in models are the thing that makes this magic imo. It’s not the motion capture tech so much as the complete pipeline to produce game assets.
I can't match the experience unfortunately. F36->37, it couldn't open the default file manager for some reason, and also, the "night light" function was broken. I had to add some color calibration thingie in the UI to get it to work. Unfortunate, because the system was practically untouched, so the upgrade should have been painless. But the reality is that I can't get attached to an installation too much.

I heard it more as, can I as an actress just get to the part where I act, and skip the just-stand-there-for-an-hour part getting my face captured.

Taking parallels - I don't know if many developers complain when compilation times go down, although technically they're being paid to wait. The thing that's scary to developers is GitHub copilot. But this actress here, she's still doing all the acting.
There's definitely no silver bullet, but things have come a long way and there are a lot more options for treatment today than ever. It's very likely that some combination of treatments will be a significant net positive, even with side effects considered.

The contrast was highlighted on a recent flight I took. I watched Zoolander while the guy next to me watched some Avengers movie starring Thanos. Not only were the colors more vibrant in Zoolander, the camera was always in focus. Even with $200mil on VFX, it was still blurry and soft-focus.

The article talks about an American journalist’s experience inside TSMC, a Taiwanese company that is at the center of the global semiconductor industry.

Interesting snippets:

1. The company has been around since 1987 and has grown to become one of the largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world. By revenue, TSMC is the largest semiconductor company in the world. It’s now bigger than Meta and Exxon.

2. TSMC produces 92 percent of the world’s most avant-garde chips. It makes a third of all the world’s silicon chips, notably the ones in iPhones and Macs (quintillion transistors for Apple)

3. TSMC has a reputation for being secretive and mysterious, which has only added to its allure.

4. Perks: employees get a 10 percent discount at Burger King. 10% at other outlets too(?)

5. Two qualities set the TSMC scientists apart: curiosity and stamina. Religion, to the author's surprise, is also common. “Every scientist must believe in God,” Liu says.

6. “If you think about conflicts around Taiwan,” Tooze told Klein, “the global semiconductor industry isn’t just the supply chain. It’s one of humanity’s great technological scientific achievements. Our ability to do this stuff at nanoscale is us up against the face of God, in a sense.” When, later, I recite Tooze’s words about God’s face to Mark Liu, he quietly agrees, but refines the point. “God means nature. We are describing the face of nature at TSMC.”

I was in VN+Thailand for work recently.

Private sector White collar salaries in VN, Thailand, and India are roughly comparable.

That said, there isn't as deep a bench of expendable somewhat English fluent software talent in VN or TH (largely due to the explosion in technical colleges teaching basic fizzbuzz in India and the lack of English medium education in VN+TH).

Both VN and TH are also clearly targeting South Korean and Japanese companies instead of American ones ime due to the 2013-17 Trade War between PRC and Japan+SK.
> In a sense, yes. HTML and CSS (with JS?) are the best UI creation combo anyone could ever design,

Maybe for a very specific sort of aesthetic optimization, but for everything else it is my opinion that modern web stack remains inferior to Visual Basic and HyperCard, both of which were easier to use for creating interfaces, and in my opinion both of which looked better.

The first few times Hidenburg published a report, this would have been true. But now they can publish something and stock will crash just because of the fact they published something. Market is largely sentiment driven in the short term and retail is not going to go do in depth research. And this short term decline is enough for short seller to crash.

Take this report for example. A lot of their claims are not very substantial. Like the lyrics of a hip hop song are not the evidence they think it is. I didn't see a lot of evidence of the fact that 70% accounts are fraudulent either.
A powerful "Bootleggers and Baptists" pattern seems to have emerged in tech space.

In online media, and social media the power of major platforms became apparent at some point. Happenings in twitter or FB can determine politics, catalyze rebellions (eg Arab Spring), uprisings, even genocide.

At this point the pressure and desire to act responsibly becomes irresistible.

This "camp" finds common cause with "bootleggers" who want to lock down the platforms and markets for commercial reasons.
> ...something about the way her mouth moves felt off. Am I the only one or am I just crazy?

No, you're not the only one. You may still be crazy.
Yes, sure. Many languages have them now. (I'm not sure what TCL looked like in 1995. SUN actually had an idea to promote TCL for both frontend and backend work, but then Java happened.)
Given how effective this appears to be for moving the market, I'm surprised how much fluff and insubstantial evidence is present in this post. For example, the important charge that the company has supported criminal activity. An assertion is made that the company turns a blind eye to obvious criminal activity, but no hard evidence is provided. Instead it spends time on the fact that a rapper was paid to promote the service who was later arrested. We don't even get any numbers to show the rate of criminal activity that is conducted with Cash App vs Venmo, Paypal, wires, crypto, or cash.
> The Moscow metro is not just for vanity - the nomenklatura don't take the metro, the people in squalor do...

That's like saying the vanity construction projects of Roman emperors weren't for vanity because they were used more by the plebs than by the nomenklatura.

Which group uses it most has absolutely nothing to do with what makes a vanity project. Quite to the contrary, the criterion for a vanity project is that a core motivation for its construction was to embellish the image/popularity/glory of the powerful person who ordered the construction. So yes, it is quite common for vanity projects to be precisely those used more by the plebs than the nomenklatura.

It doesn't materially affect your point, but '1 [percentage point] lower revenue growth' means slightly-less-than-1% lower (as in lowered by slightly less than 1%) total revenue.

The Internet Archive model of CDL to everyone on the Web, not just local library card members, is a particular threat.

There are many books for which a single CDL copy is probably sufficient to satisfy the entire global demand for that book. They will be referenced from time to time by academics or independent researchers and almost never read cover-to-cover.

If every college/university and big city library needs to own a copy so that their members can get access to it, that's not such a big problem, you can still sell maybe 1,000 copies. But if everyone can share a single copy, that is a big problem.
