The attack surface is quite small, they've intentionally limited capabilities to keep it so.

Their reputation is quite good in the cryptocurrency community. Many of us have been using them since 2014.
Is it accurate to say that as an open source program, LLVM doesn’t really have a rigid communication structure, and it also has instead a framework that can be extended to an arbitrary number of passes?
I am going to try bouldering in them as well. There was a thread on Reddit where someone mentioned really liking bouldering in them, but then the bouldering gym wouldn’t let him use them because they look like socks.
We need more EQ (emotional intelligence) in our UI design.

This is an area that AI will be unlikely to solve.

Designing a SAAS that can motivate and relax and not manipulate or stress requires a particular human wisdom.
Quoting what I said elsewhere:

> It's bizarre how people refuse to accept that hydrogen fuel cells are technically batteries and have absurdly high energy densities. And if pressed, you usually hear some excuse like poor efficiencies, as if that isn't a powerful justification for pouring billions of dollars into the problem.
The main point is that nothing supports AVIF other than browsers, and one or two image manipulation programs. If I have to open up GIMP every time I want to insert an image into a document, we have lost.
Similarly (though also exhibiting teenage American language taking over the world symptoms) is Netflix's new (or new-ish, I just noticed it yesterday as a fairly frequent user) 'everone is watching' category. I have absolutely zero interest in that, it's literally repulsive, trivially incorrect, and just plain stupid even apart from the language - who cares what others have chosen to watch, how does it compare to what I've given thumbs up/down?
Right. Apart from some (extremely famous) pieces of art that have been heavily repeated in the dataset you’re not going to be able to come close to recreating something directly.

There's an element above lithium on the periodic table that has an even lower mass per unit of charge. Weird that no one talks about this. Also repeating what I said elsewhere:

Janus: Fully programmable monitoring and control system for Open RAN with eBPF
Others have already mentioned cheques, and those were standard for most non-urgent matters. But in a loose sense, electronic payment has been around for quite a while. 50 or 100 years ago, a business with a large, outstanding tax debt might well pay it by wire transfer. Basically a cheque done quickly by telegram, later telex, then computerized. And it's still around apparently -- the Canada Revenue Agency says I can pay my taxes from abroad by wire transfer.
Let’s not conflate America’s “democratic process” with the democratic process. Your silly FPTP voting system is barely the tip of the iceberg.
Consider Japan:

(fact) a single market with a single language

(fact) geographically isolated

(fact) not much space

(fact) burned to the ground in WW2

and yet for a while it was an economic powerhouse on the world stage.

Taiwan, Hong Kong and S Korea, similar stories.

So what is the common thread? Free markets.
I also have this feeling of "everyone is doing the same thing, a GUI for chatgpt with some prepared prompts".
The thing is, it's too risky and too soon for bigger issues to be tackled. It will take quite some time before LLMs provide medical and financial advice, if they ever will.
Yes, this is in line with what I was trying to point out above about the economics of the situation. The economic value consumers place on privacy is lower than what is required to release a mass market competitive device without ad data monetization. Think we’re just talking in circles at this point.
The airplanes work perfectly fine - at least as wealth management ...
Probably oversimplifying, but I get the feeling that Red Hat's compliance-enabled versions are for enterprise companies who need Linux, and Canonical's compliance-enabled versions are for smaller tech companies (or once-smaller ones) who need compliance.
You realize humans on call, ready to completely focus on what I want, are expensive right?

Having a "human-like" entity I can chat with about interesting little problems in math, economics, governance and ethics is really helpful.

I use the word "understanding", because it's so clear when it does, and when it doesn't.

I am not implying it is conscious or aware. Simply that it has represented something in a robust enough way to be able to chat about it from different perspectives consistently.

Another helpful thing is getting pushback from the model when it thinks I am wrong. I have to explain myself better, or occasionally discover I am the one making a mistake. Beautiful!

The limit is the limit of the chat length. There is a sense of accomplishment to explain a problem to another entity, until it understands, and then together establish some interesting results. The day I get to have an entity whose memory accumulates all the details of all the problems I am (we are?) working on will be a GREAT day.
They've had billions poured in, and have been in development for longer than the modern li-ion + AC motor electric car.

And yet the cars are more expensive, the refilling stations are expensive to build and only exist in limited geographic regions, the cost to refuel is high, and we don't have infrastructure to provide clean hydrogen in volume to filling stations.

Sure these are solvable problems. But at some point if we want it to actually exist it has to actually be built instead of being a California and Japan toy project.

> All of this is due to the cultural assimilation and defacto integration of Canada into the United States.

Well except for Quebec, the Indigenous tribes, and the monarchists/loyalists, who definitely are more doubtful and will likely never allow a full integration.

The media environment is also still substantially different, previously even more.
Do you want to eat those parasites after they are cooked? That is what I'm trying to say: I don't want to eat food that has bacteria, worms and parasites - even if they are killed by cooking. That is disgusting.

I don't know how many times I've heard people say they need to cook their meat well or need the restaurant to cook it well to kill those parasites. Don't buy meat you don't trust the quality of! Don't go to restaurants where you think the meat has parasites!

Instead of repeating things by habit that they've been told, why can't people stop and think about what they are doing?
Free markets are a process of creative destruction. Capital (money and labor) are continuously reallocated to more productive purposes.

Adding friction to that leads to a less productive economy.
It doesn’t seem that childish. At least for some class of insect — if you are a flying insect that mostly is worried about ground animals trying to kill you, “up” is a pretty good default direction.
I found it rare that those dead-set against AI art actually concede that it has value after you take copyright out of the equation, bringing up Adobe Firefly instead pivots the conversation to other, considerably weaker arguments.

Using stock art is just further appropriation, which is silly considering the intent and licensing of stock artwork is clearly intended by all parties to turn works into commodities for commercial exploitation.

The old ways are best, the new ways are bad and take away the soul from the creation process and resulting works. Also unconvincing considering that most of the people saying that are using radically different, digitized, heavily time optimized art workflows compared to norm of the industry even 30 years ago.

Not that I don't see the problems, the potential for job losses due to the optimizations to workflow requiring less work and therefore less workers is an actual risk, but one that happens regardless of copyright enforcement of AI models. The problems commercialized AI art workflows cause may even be exacerbated by enforcement of copyright on training data by handing a monopoly of all higher quality generative AI models into already entrenched multinational intellectual property rightsholders hands. I think a lot of artists forget that copyright isn't as much for them as it's for the Disneys of the world.
Usually, the notices I have seen actually say "only 1 ticket remaining at this price". Which they can technically make true by simply setting their pricing algorithm to sell the next ticket for a penny more or a penny less.
Thank you for these recommendations! I'll definitely be trying them next time 'round.
> It's not just having money, it's keeping it.

It’s easier to keep it if everyone around you has it too

> Plenty of poor athletes and musicians too who once had it.

Again, easier to lose it if those around you don’t have it. Then you help out, buy mom a house, pay for medical care. Pay for nephews school, cousin’s rehab, brother needs a loan, etc.
Maglev trains and the like.
The “private” part of that is not enforceable. Though I’d personally love if it was so I could buy a cup of coffee at an airport in 2023 without using an app or credit card.
It's weird that people have failed to notice that hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1. Far better than both of them. To quote what I said elsewhere:

> It's bizarre how people refuse to accept that hydrogen fuel cells are technically batteries and have absurdly high energy densities. And if pressed, you usually hear some excuse like poor efficiencies, as if that isn't a powerful justification for pouring billions of dollars into the problem.
> It's dressed up as Luddism

> "...and if we allow this, those years were wasted and I'm out of a job, along with millions of others"

Given that the quoted part is highly likely to happen, and not just in art, I hope we're no longer considering "luddism" to be a pejorative.

The author mentions the possibility of retail banks filling this role, and they already do the reverse—if you have a paper US Savings Bond, it can be redeemed for cash at almost any full-service bank branch. They are already deeply-involved in FedWire, the ACH Clearinghouse, and other payments rails. There’s also one in almost every neighborhood across the US.
Canada has always had a lower performing economy than the US. Though with the current US government policies, the US economy will perform a lot less, and perhaps Canada will overtake it.

Except from the usability and privacy perspective the EU cookie rule is objectively bullshit. Don’t require notification for every fucking site I visit. Also there are no circumstances where “functional cookies are required”. Painting a webpage doesn’t require a cookie.

If you really cared about customer privacy you’d make a rule that allowed me to set my privacy setting in my browser and require the sites to respect it. And one of the options better be “none ever, just do what you can without it”

What moron thought the current rules were sane? What a useless waste of air to defend an obviously broken and constantly annoying and useless rule.

In conclusion a four year old could have come up with a better rule. So stop whining about people’s legitimate objections.
I started getting tinnitus shortly before moving from upstate NY. They were in the process of plastering the town with 5g every block or so. Since I've moved to rural MO in an area where even Verizon drops calls it is completely gone. Gotta wonder...
Back in the early 2000's, I worked for a small company that was hired by the law firm representing one of the big cable companies (let's call them Company A).

Company A was suing another big cable company (Company X) b/c A claimed that X was throttling customers without telling them and advertising what were in effect unthrottled bandwidth numbers.

In order to prove this, the company I worked for went out and hired people to get cable modem subscriptions for Company X, install desktop that were locked down so the people couldn't use the desktops themselves and then collected ping and HTTP request data for months.

My job was to take that data and analyze it for throttling patterns.

This was my first job out of grad school and involved lots of:

- data cleaning and organizing using Perl

- analyzing statistics using Excel

- creating charts that could then be shown to the lawyers and in turn could be used in court

I didn't know much about databases or stats packages in Perl which, in hindsight, would have made my life easier.

I still remember being on the call with the lawyers and walking them through the data that proved that Company X was indeed throttling bandwidth at peak usage times. The one lawyer on the conference call said "Wow! This data is amazing. You guys are now basically national experts in this."

I was both:

- flattered that someone would call me a national expert in something

- scared shitless that I would end up being cross examined about how we processed this data

Turns out that the court case never happened and they settled out of court.

The reason I mention this story is that it's FASCINATING to me that this is still occurring today. I guess some things never do change.

They aren't poor excuses. There are fundamentally hard problems about the distribution of clean hydrogen that have not and likely will not be overcome in a way that is broadly competitive with other technologies. Sure, you can use methane as a "transportable hydrogen", but then it's not clean any more. You can make your hydrogen relatively cheaply from natural gas, but then it's not clean any more.

This is not due to lack of focus or funding. Toyota, the largest auto maker in the world, has spent decades trying to make hydrogen-powered cars a reality. And in any honest assessment, it has failed dismally at doing so (indeed, it has spent so much focus and funding on hydrogen that it is woefully behind its competitors in battery electric vehicles).

> “We need to reduce the 60 to 80 kilowatt hours) of electricity it takes to produce a one kWh battery,”

Was this transcribed correctly? 60-80kWh for a device that can be charged thousands of times doesn't seem that bad... And even for the higher performance lower-cycling number batteries in phones, it doesn't seem that bad.

Ignoring the high cost of batteries and the environmental harm in building them. You can eliminate pretty much an entire class of storage needs and all the cost that portains. Heck, even pumped hydro doesn't really need to exist if you have this one, practically unlimited storage system.

Probably the most alien artefact I ever created was the core abstraction of a C++ game engine that used the curiously recurring template pattern in combination with multiple inheritance.

The idea was to be able to switch between DirectX and OpenGL renderers, or restart the renderer from scratch on failure (i.e.: recoverable GPU driver crash, GPU unplug, restore from sleep, etc...). The problem with using a naive OO v-table based abstraction for this is that it incurs indirect call overheads on every call, including calls that are internal to each implementation. So with some clever template programming and multiple inheritance, I got to have my cake and eat it too: calls within a hierarchy of classes specialised for one back-end were always direct inline-able calls, but you could have shared code that was abstracted across different back-ends.

I opened that source file about a decade later and thought: "What crazy person came up with this madness!?" and then saw my name in the commit history. I was the mad one. The call was coming from inside the house.
In case you're actually curious to learn about thoughts in this direction, see the paper "Did the crisis permanently scar the
Portuguese labour market?
Evidence from a Markov-switching
Beveridge curve analysis" at https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpwps/ecbwp2043.en.pdf

From the introduction:

> For many years, a key distinguishing feature of the Portuguese labour market has been its persistently high employment and relatively low unemployment, despite the high level of employment protection ... The crisis has now seemingly brought about an end to this striking feature of the Portuguese labour
market: ... As a result, Portugal now [in 2017] has the third highest unemployment rate among OECD countries; ...

And the findings:

> The results show that the sharp outward shift in the Portuguese Beveridge curve was to a large extent driven by cyclical factors. However, it was compounded by some structural factors, namely, the relatively high level of employment protection together with the relatively high minimum wage ratio and the relatively generous unemployment benefit system.

This doesn't work unless the attacker happens to be in between your servers and the cert authority. The ISP that's in-between your laptop and the site can't pull this trick.

Also LE actually knows this attack is possible and mitigates it by validating the challenge from multiple sources so the attacker would need to be in the middle of all the LE validators and your servers.

GPT-4 is not purely a software technology, just like the initial iPhone wasn't either. Without massive improvements in industry-grade GPUs like the A100, I'm unsure we'd be able to have these LLMs (at least this early).

One software innovation I think we often forget about but that is pretty extensively used day-to-day by almost every trade, is the concept of a wiki, a collaborative knowledge base. It exists most famously as Wikipedia, but many other implementations exists (like Notion, or just a Google Drive/synced folder with text files) and can be found in most places in almost any type of business.
The article itself cherry-picked France and Mississippi to compare income levels, which is why I continued the example. The additional data points are interesting and valuable, though speaking of cherry picking, Azerbaijan somewhat dubiously qualifies as a European country (neither it nor Moldova are part of the EU or Schengen, for instance).

Anyway, the fact that the best of US is somewhat worse than the best of EU continues to help make my point, which is that high US income does not compensate for the poorer quality of life.

Exactly.

To elaborate on my agreement with you....

There's a fundamental tension between "news" and "incremental". Which means that in many many important areas of human enterprise (and progress), the "news" model is fundamentally counterproductive. So don't consume the news.

Instead, read a new textbook every year (or however often you can afford to).
This table is actually insane. Just from this I would say that HEVC wins if it were to have even comparable quality. It's unfortunate the industry will have to stay with AV1 for now due to HEVC being patent encumbered and because of Google's massive push to force everyone to start using it.
