I don't see it as stupid. I see it as an intentional delay tactic to maneuver around a regulator which, so far, acts far too slowly and imposes weak fines in response to flagrant privacy lawbreaking.

As long as Facebook can treat the fines as a cost of doing business they're happy. That, and as long as their (bullshit) value proposition of personalising ads by collecting as much personal data as possible is unaffected.
No, that is already part of the software framework with which the palantir-cattlerattlers drive the large crowd along the "golden path" on the scenario tree.

The cattle does not get to object, reject it or vote on it. The wellfare of the rancher is all that matters and any attempt to disucss that or just turn around, will just "never work out" because of unavoidable infighting. But dont worry, we are not in chicago yet.

Who could have imagined, that stripping your brain naked would make you hackable and controllable, thus turning you into a organic component with an API for behavioural crowd simulations.

If you have documentation about your process (which the email sent to their DPO should be enough) get in contact with the Data Protection Agency of your country for them to start procedures on your behalf.

I've got some help from Sweden's IMY for a similar case, asked for the removal of my data by emailing a GDPR template, got no answer and no resolution by the company in a few months and contacted IMY who solved it (and fined them).
In French speaking traditions the magpie is also a thief.

To me magpies are literally thieves. They take shiny objects which are sometimes valuable. I've heard more than one story of people who lost jewelry to magpies.
Of course, even though they are territorial it isn't obvious that magpies understand that they are stealing. But their intention doesn't change the result.

Ars Technica is not much better. Here are the "always active" non-choices from their own GDPR pop-up ("Powered by OneTrust"). That is to say, you cannot opt-out of these:

Match and combine offline data sources: Always Active
Link different devices: Always Active
Receive and use automatically-sent device characteristics for identification: Always Active
Ensure security, prevent fraud, and debug: Always Active
Technically deliver ads or content: Always Active

If you don't open their "show purposes" window and "Confirm my choices" from that window, then you are also agreeing to:

Store and/or access information on a device
Personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development
Use precise geolocation data
Actively scan device characteristics for identification

Yeah, those who go Toyota simply can't understand why people even bother with e.g. expensive German cars and such. Even the "Car Wizard" on Hoovies garage realized this recently.
Closing the tab is good, but is it safe to assume, that they wont use fingerprinting, to map your "consent" (more like extortion) to future visits? Also they would still be tracking your incognito browser, if fingerprint is unique?
Also why does it do r = z * ..., and then does another multiplication z * r at the end? Why not leave that z out and do w * r at the end?

If you don't have space for it, that's one thing, but PCs are actually cheaper than laptops on most metrics, and can be assembled piece by piece. GPU prices are insane nowadays, but you can find them used from mining ops for pretty low prices. A few generations old Ryzen is still way faster than any laptop CPU, RAM and SSDs are cheap as hell, PSU and box can be found for reasonable prices if you shop around.
Tech stuff has been increasingly automated and salaries kept going up right until last year. Of course, there's a bias because it's the tech people doing the automations. But someone needs to mentor the AGI.

Whether you believe that or not, its wild that we're in such a position that claims like that could be made.

Count this as a big +1 for an RSS feed, would remind me to check in more often.

Silly-small ux items that are very much nice-to-haves:

- Another +1 for allowing titles/authors to be copy-able - I often find myself hunting for the book to buy from somewhere based on the reviews or searching more from the author

- Increase the time for the book cover fade-outs, I've several times I've been interested in a cover but been too slow with the mouse/trackpad.

In general tho: the site is awesome from a clarity/readability point of view, it's ad-free and the content is excellent. You're nailing the important stuff IMO

Isn't the byzantine tax system itself part of "the problem"?

A company in China bought the old Mullard factory and shipped it over, right down to roughly half of the exterior bricks.
The analogy doesn't really work though.

Deliberately investing less IRS money into checking low capital individuals doesn't actually cause damage if it means there's more high net accounts being investigated.

There's tax waste in the system no matter what you do. The question is where it is preferable for this waste to occur. It is vastly preferable for the whole economy that the people who are most likely to get away with fraud are also the ones with the lowest net wealth.
Yeah it definitely makes sense from their side. But trying to spite the regulation can definitely backfire

Thanks! Yeah I guess to be more specific, what meant to ask is: besides YC and angel investors, what will help me as much or better than YC? Particularly in the context of the person I was replying to saying that people with my background can potentially find better deals than with YC (which I guess I assumed meant in terms of VC - you’re right that it probably helps with alternative funding routes too).

Like, what better incubators or accelerators will be looking at 5+ years at FAANG as a shoe-in (honestly, I’m a bit skeptical that’s even a shoe in at at YC, but what do I know) and give me better terms and/or more support? I know Sequioa has a small incubator now and I’ve actually talked to them, but I assume there are some good ones out there that would be hard to learn about except through word of mouth.
yet, that is coming soon
Exactly. Let say AI makes us 100x more productive. What would happen?

1. 99% of devs will be out of work and the current work will be done by 1%.

2. More and better software will be developed. About 100x effort more.

I'm pretty confident the 2nd will happen. I already have lots of work that will take a long time, and more after that. 100x improvement on productivity would mean more, faster and better (because of more tests etc) output.
I want to see a new era of wars where web admins fight for web freedom and start subtly penalizing BigCorp web browsers, e.g. by showing annoying popups or slightly delaying loading times.
Once, to gloss over many details, I had a signal lamp on my fire escape and started quietly yelling morse messages into the void. At first I used a reference sheet looking up each character as I needed it. Then something clicked in my head and I no longer needed the reference. I accidentally learned morse code. I've seen the same thing happen in real time with other people. There's something like a phase change above some fraction of learned information which makes the rest fall into place just after some threshold.

People Are Creating Records of Fake Historical Events Using AI
To give a bit more background on this:

You really only need to compute one eighth of a circle segment (so, zero to pi/4), everything else you can do by symmetry by switching signs and flipping x, y. (And if you supported a larger range, you’d waste precision).

The function supports doubledouble precision (which is a trick, different from long double or quadruple precision, in which you express a number as an unevaluated sum of two doubles, the head (large) and the tail (much smaller)).

So, the “real” cosine function first takes its argument, and then reduces it modulo pi/2 to the desired range -pi/4, +pi/4 (with minimal loss of precision - you utilise the sign bit, so that’s better than using the range 0, +pi/2) in double double precision (rem_pio2 returns an int denoting which quadrant the input was in, and two doubles), and those two doubles are then passed to this function (or its cousin __sin, with the sign flipped as appropriate, depending on the quadrant).

Many people really have put in quite some care and thought to come up with this neat and precise solution.

ETA:
Double double (TIL that it’s also something in basketball?):

Yes and I don't think it's that big a deal tbh, provided the internal battery is easily replaceable. My Thinkpad has both, and technically I could hotswap the external battery, but why lug around a second laptop battery when I can have the same capacity in a USB-C power bank that can also charge my phone if needed.

Time to swap external battery: 10 seconds

Time to replace internal battery: maybe 10 minutes if you had to look it up. It's like 2 screws once you take the bottom cover off.

But in the four years I've owned this laptop, I've replaced my external battery once, when the original went bad.
Even without the privacy issues it is insane that you are forced to do business with certain corporations in order to fully participate in society. But most people don't care or open alternatives would be more popular.
It’s the core implementation for a specific and very narrow range of arguments. The “genuine article” moves the argument into that range (via the rem_pio2 function performing range reduction, which is worth an article in itself), and then calls this core implementation.

The EU really needs to go harder after such violations. Companies should not even want to consider playing these games.
I am making no such assumption. I am only expressing my gripe against those commenters who are not happy that this grant is like 1 month's salary. So I am only making the point that it may not be one company's responsibility to pay enough money to equal any number of months or years of salary. On the other hand any single company is free to pay as littile or as much money as they want and if all companies did the same thing then it might be enough money to appease some of these commenters who seem to expect that the developers should be paid much more than a month's worth of salary.

I am personally all for paying hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars if the companies are up for it.
422 in operation. You should divide by the total amount of reactors that have ever run for some significant amount of time, including those that have stopped operating.
I don’t think your realize just how out touch you sound. If you grew up in a well-off family where a traditional work ethic is highly valued, I can see how easy it is to arrive at a simplification like this. Getting a menial free lunch does not fix the other problems a student may face when going home, whether that be the parents not able to feed their children properly or maybe they are in an overcrowded house with no space of their own. This family may not have access to health care outside of the most basic of services and similarly, maintenance on their vehicles because they can’t afford that and to eat that month.

Maintaining government benefits quickly becomes a full time job because of arcane requirements written by uncaring people. Those in poverty might find themselves disincentivized from seeking higher paying work due to the “welfare cliff” where once the make over X amount, benefits start to go away. In some cases, if they suddenly make nothing (as if they’ve just lost a job or had hours cut), healthcare benefits are yanked away just when they need it most.

It’s very easy to see this as a moral failing, but if you’ve not lived through this situation, you cannot possibly understand the toll that poverty takes on you both physically and mentally. The truth, like with most things, is more complicated.
I used it that way too to make a fast-and-dirty browser-based, old-school hack n' slash.

An artist that I follow makes procedurally generated dungeons and villages and such.

https://watabou.github.io/

I noticed that he made it possible to export JSON and SVG files from his one-page dungeons. I decided that was enough to turn them into an actual mini-game. This app takes his procedurally generated static maps and makes them interactive.

There's nothing here I did not already know how to do, but I leaned on Chat GPT to generate code. e.g.

Me: As the avatar moves around the map, it would be nice to center it. Possibly zoom in and such. I'm thinking that the `transform` attribute of the map could help.

Chat GPT: Yes, you could use the transform attribute of the map to achieve this effect. The transform attribute allows you to apply various transformations to the SVG element, including scaling and translation.

To center the avatar, you could use the translate transformation to shift the map so that the avatar is in the center of the viewport. For example, if the avatar is at position (x, y) on the map, you could center it using: <code snippet>

To be honest, parsing through the SVG was just so tedious I would have moved on and not completed the project. As it was, a few nights. Boom! Little game toy thing.

Some other tasks I had for it that saved tons of time:

* Given these css rules below, can you combine them so that each is declared once?
* Could you suggest a mysterious, dark, but not black color for the background of the dungeon map?
* Could you give me a nice CSS dropshadow for the avatar?
* Could you suggest several Google fonts that would be good for a dramatic Dungeon title/headline? Please include links.
Bit of column A and bit of column B, for sure, but VO has probably been one of the worst at overhyping and underdelivering.

> it's a binary compressed representation of the works used to train it, for the purpose of on-demand production of works that mimicry, to a varying, and sometimes strikingly infringing degree, the originals.

To pursue this point further, I have asked ChatGPT to "list the lyrics of a famous Madonna song":

Sure, here are the lyrics of "Like a Prayer" by Madonna, which was released in 1989:

[Verse 1]

Life is a mystery

Everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

[Chorus]

When you call my name

It's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees

I wanna take you there

...

(the entire lyrics of the song follow)

I think it would be very hard to argue that this model does not embed verbatim copies of the original work, but somehow reconstituted those lyrics via a parallel construction where the cultural impact of Madonna's lyrics were grasped from other fair use sources. Even in that case, it's still a word for word reproduction of the original, therefore not fair use. Therefore, the entire model or service is infringing - even if some of its productions may not be.

The ability of the model to produce copyrighted works is just a proof of the degree on which it relies on the originals; even if that ability would be blocked or somehow filtered by a plagiarism detector in a later model of Chat GPT, it would change nothing to the fundamental nature of the machine: an automated means of generating derivative works without artistic or scientific agency.

No, I think it's just because of an overall lack of centralization and the tendency for US federal agencies to continue to grow in power instead of coordinating with other agencies, resulting in a massive amount of duplication of functions and capabilities.

In a well-designed government, the IRS would not have any armed agents. If they have an operation where they need armed support, they'd simply call up some other agency (perhaps the FBI, or even local police or SWAT teams) that specializes more in armed agents and operations, and partner with them to conduct the operation. IRS agents don't need to shoot at people; they can let some other highly-trained people do that, and then come in after the bullets have stopped flying and seize documents and analyze them.
Being a polymath is generally very advantageous.
If your goal is a usable immutable distro, selinux is the wrong tool. It just doesn't operate at the layer of creating a linux distro, or declaring what containers are running, or declaring a list of flatpak apps, or whatever.

My point, by comparing selinux to "mount" and calling them equally useless, was not that they are not useful tools in their niches.

My point was that they are useless if your goal is to build a usable immutable distro.

SELinux is a hammer that cannot be used to turn a default debian installation into a usable immutable linux distro. The initial claim of "using SELinux rather than a dedicated distro can work" was nonsense, so of course the thread of replies off this is nonsense. GIGO as they say.
That's nice... when you like to use the Spigot API (which, of course, is used by the majority of servers)

Something like this for Fabric would be great though.
Server-side modding with Fabric offers a lot of opportunities you can't do with the Spigot API.

In fact there have been multiple mods that tried to implement this for Fabric or Forge. It's keeping everything in sync with Mojang's codebase that's the hard part.

Right now I just use DimensionalThreading. Putting different dimensions on different threads is quite easy to do.
