I'm sorry but I'm not willing to engage further if you take this tone with me. I've tried to make my position clear as well as my basis for it. There's no need to use the heavy language against me that you are.
So they think that's their path to success, versus fixing the facepalm lack of search operators. That makes me so sad
They will become the next Nokia.
Relevant law cited elsewhere in the thread: "(e) Failure to Preserve Electronically Stored Information. If electronically stored information that should have been preserved in the anticipation or conduct of litigation is lost because a party failed to take reasonable steps to preserve it, and it cannot be restored or replaced through additional discovery, the court ..."

The key word is "reasonable", which is what the court must decide happened here. OTOH deliberately enabling "history off" doesn't sound like a reasonable steps to preserve records under legal hold. Having said that, I wonder if it also means voip/video calls must be recorded, especially if the feature is available in whatever app they use. Further, even if they use a purpose built "off the record" app, deliberately choosing to use such an app could be argued as failure to reasonably preserve records, if a regular history-preserving app is available. So I think the answer to my first question could be a no.
No, firmware needs to hand off in the state the software you're booting needs. That says nothing about the mode the CPU needs to be in when it starts running firmware.
I'm sure they can afford it

But justai.com would also be apt
Most likely never. And for the immediate future, the Fed is forcing a recession with these high rates, since the influx of cheap money caused inflation and that's the main thing people want the US Government to 'fix'.
It's not the default browser on most devices. I think the parent comment is stating that if you're technical enough to install a 3rd party browser, you're technical enough to pick your own search engine. So people chose Firefox and chose away from Yahoo
all those individual contributor people got rich and left the company.
I understand that. And with the comments it's almost certainly infringing.

If you strip the comments out, though, it's questionable.
What's bad about age that someone should be hiding it? Your proud boomer.
Hello :) . Pleasantly surprised and happy to see folks who know about Engelmann and DISTAR here. Random tidbit: I too quit software work to launch experiment in ed-tech two years back. Randomly stumbled on Englemann through a rabbit hole. I'm obsessed with his ideas around sequencing the lessons correctly. Beyond reading, I was interested in using it to improve how we teach Maths. Unsuccessfully tried that mixed with video games. But I agree that Engelmanns research on theory of instruction remains a treasure trove, as it came from his practice and not writing a PhD thesis.

I taught my 4 year old to read English through the book. She's far ahead in reading amongst her peer group (English is not our native language). I know sounds cheesy, but please count me in for exchanging ideas or fixing education using his methods.
That's not a compelling argument to prevent them from voting. Their paychecks are taxed, let them vote.
The Android version also just updated and there is a nice big fat Bing logo in the settings bar.

It's gross how every Microsoft product eventually starts to try to upsell Edge or Bing.
You do realize that the sandbox won’t seize to exist, right? Apple does jackshit at censoring the App Store, they run some routine checks on the code and disallow upload if it has “porn” in the title, the real security is the sandbox.
How does blocking gambling, crypto, and adult content help their bottom line? Seems to me like these would be a lucrative source of income if they allowed them on the store.

The risk to the average user is that an app they want is removed from the App Store and only available via sideloaidng.
No, the role of the AMD's Platform Security Processor in the boot process is completely different from Intel's IME, as PSP is located on the CPU side and so entire boot process and security checks are completely different and would require a separate writeup.
As the sibling comment mentions, it was tested. It got tied up in some weird politics and the George W. Bush administration was championing evidence based reading programs so teaching programs at places like Colombia took the opposite stance. Obviously that's a bit of an oversimplification, but you get the idea.
>It's just an excuse for people to argue

Q.E.D.
I don’t use LLMs for anything image related, so I can’t speak to their value there, but almost all simpler NLP tasks are IMO better handled using other techniques that predate them. I’ve yet to see an example where fine-tuning is cheaper/more efficient/better performing than older solutions to these problems.
I don't think there is a ready made alternative to Midjourney.

Midjourney is way more versatile than SD. If you start getting some fine tuned models on civitai, trained to do well some specific tasks, you can get comparable quality but I haven't seen a single model which is able to replace Midjourney.

Llama is no different, it has ok performance on generic queries but still far away from GPT3.5: if you start fine-tuning you can get good perf on specific tasks.
Id love to see a practical test of how we'll certain IC's work with different capacitor combinations. Because in the end, the IC operation is the important part.
There is a significant portion of academia entranced by novelty, the joy of forbidden or secret knowledge, and other such things. For these people, an idea is not valuable because it is true, or useful, or well-established by experience or science. In fact these are graded as points against an idea. Boring.

Where these academics are most prominent is probably art. Opinionated opinion alert, but these are near the root of the reason why academic art has become utterly annihilated as a viable cultural source. The continual pursuit of novelty and reconstruction above all took them from anything beautiful, useful, or indeed even merely interesting into fields so far disconnected from anything beautiful, useful, or indeed even interesting that they are now irrelevant, despite their firm beliefs to the contrary.

Education... are pikers compared to them, honestly. But it does seem to be a consistent pattern that some education ideas are proposed and generate excitement precisely because they run contrary to experiences, the expectations of those doing it for years, precisely because they are different from established methods and curricula... and that is enough. Not because they can show better results. Not because of better outcomes. That they are different and heterodox is enough.

Unsurprisingly, when "better" is not part of the evaluation criteria, "better" is not what you get. And that's me being generous; at times "better" would also constitute a strike against the methodology... or at least, what you would consider "better".

Education is strangely bimodal. On the one hand you get savaged at the slightest suggestion that the curriculum is not perfect as is, and we have amazing stasis on what can be taught in most subjects, frozen around a hundred years ago. On the other hand you get crazies who think the solution to math is to start kindergartners out on college-level number theory (the original "New Math") or who want to redo education on the hippie drum circle model and teach math based on how it makes you feel (not thinking of anything in particular here, just a cynical pastiche of what I see out there lately). The one thing you can not do is incrementally improve the existing systems.

In the latter case it astonishes me how these people can zoom straight up to the Federal level sometimes, powered by the sheer academic excitement at a new theory, before anyone can hardly even formulate the thought of maybe running some tests on the new theory before pushing it out to millions of kids, and how this has happened over and over to greater and lesser degrees over the past 60-70 years.
I gave up when I saw people on this site using “neoliberal” as a slur for current US progressives.

Yeah.. I know the term has been basically meaningless for a while, but still.
Have you seen the record revenues they made in the last 2 years? [1] It seems to be working very well for what they care about most.

Makes sense. Interest and Daily Cash goes into the checking account (Apple Cash).

And Apple isn't catering to small business here.
Chernobyl has lots of wildlife, but the animals aren't healthy. Lack of humans good, radioactivity bad.

> Their surveys showed that certain bird species tended to have more genetic mutations, smaller brains and less viable sperm in sites with higher radiation levels. And in 2007, they counted 66 percent fewer birds — and 50 percent fewer bird species — in highly radioactive places compared to background-level sites.

> In dozens of studies, the pair also documented that, with higher radiation levels, there were significantly lower numbers of soil invertebrates and a lower abundance of certain insect species and such mammals as hares and foxes. Working with collaborators in Finland, they also documented a range of health effects in bank voles.

I had an example recently: I wanted to learn more about how certificate-based WiFi authentication worked. In the past, I would have used Google to find some resources on it, probably find that the relevant standard is called 802.1x, used Google to find the relevant Wikipedia article, skimmed that, etc. But instead of doing that, I just asked ChatGPT the specific questions I needed the answer to.

When you're asking generally about a pretty basic topic which you just happen to not be very familiar with, ChatGPT is not too dissimilar from having an expert in the field you can chat with and ask questions to. I find it to be a very effective way of querying the huge database of information that is its training dataset.

Surprisingly, the one thing it's really terrible at but which I would've expected it to be okay at, is writing config files. I sometimes ask it how to write, say, a systemd service file which does a particular thing, and it usually shows me something which looks roughly sensible but doesn't actually do what I wanted. Its nature of fancy autocomplete with no understanding really shines through in those cases. Its biggest downfall is that it has no way to recognize when it doesn't have an answer and is making stuff up.
Can just put money in SGOV for a minimal fee (0.05%) which invests in T-Bills for you. Slightly lower yield due to timing issues, but close enough and no micromanaging individual treasuries.

Nobody should be moving money around different savings accounts for yield... use products designed to make it easy.

This seems like it guarantees political battles of some sort?
Whether intra or inter-community.
No. They love savings accounts. It's money they can use in relatively risk-free ways that get them more interest than they're paying out.
I assume you don't actually need all of the transmission line s-parameters at low frequency. In which case, you can use a frequency response analyzer (FRA), of which there are a few in production. The gain and phase measurements are enough to plot transfer functions, impedance, Bode, and Nyquist.

The FRAs span the same price range as the VNAs you listed. Having a low-cost version of each can extend the frequency range over which you can make good measurements compared to just one tool of similar total price.

The Bode 100 sacrifices some low and high frequency range and performance to be a 2-in-1.
What cost?

Competition? That isn't definite.

Support overhead? I don't buy it.

> If you are easily able to change the firmware, you are easily able to destroy the hardware, and if that's under warranty, companies are going to be concerned.

...so void the warrantee when flashing 3rd-party firmware.

How often, in reality, are people going to fry their hardware? It's not as if 99.99999% of 3rd-party firmware users are writing that firmware themselves! Hardware damage should be expected as an extreme edge case, not a broad looming risk.

---

If we are going to put this much effort into speculating cost, we should put equal effort into speculating value.

Open firmware is significantly likely to reduce the costs of compatibility and edge-case support. It is also likely to increase the value of the product by making it auditable and maintainable. It also factors out the cost of anti-user-maintenance efforts like DRM.

Most importantly, open firmware can stabilize the value of a product, increasing its resale price and delaying price decline. Unfortunately, this is the point that many companies consider negative, because they don't want to compete with themselves.
I'm not sure you're really following. If developers are already jumping through hoops to make their extensions available for safari users, the only way this "will not happen" is if apple makes barriers to entry even worse.
At least as far as the Disney theme park division, it seems like they are actively catering to the adult crowd. These days, the theme parks seem to be mostly adults.
> No one gets hurt by insults that aren't believable.

Take your own advice. I think you're the one who needs to touch grass.
Nope. I’m talking about the same Cybotron. Jon-5 was an early member and he was a guitar player. Eventually he quit since the direction changed. But there's still some guitars in some tracks in the Enter album. And Juan Atkins later left because Richard Davis wanted to focus on rock again.
Dangerous gag, he said “I’m joking” so quickly it’s very easy to miss. I imagine the commenter is not alone in having that wrong impression.
> privacy hostile companies like Facebook to have to comply with the app store rules and respect system settings relating to privacy

Currently and historically, Facebook’s apps have been provided purely through the App Store and have been following Apple’s privacy guidelines.

Surely then, you can’t criticise their approach to privacy? After all, Apple has always approved their apps.
> Ehhh, it's not hard, it's just centralized, with the associated problems of a few entities having an oligopoly.

It's hard to pull it off without relying on the oligopoly entities. Like, I can publish my SEPA banking information on my blog, but that would just invite scammers. And it's not real-time which means I have to manually process payments.

And that's just dealing with the payment itself and not solving the problem of accounting and taxes. It's a difference if I go to my tax preparer and hand him twelve advertising revenue bills or if I'm handing him a wad of receipts by individual people.

> Payments in the range of $5-$10 are less expensive

They are, but good luck getting people used to free content to pay that range. Even 99.9% of Onlyfxns models rarely make a single subscriber above that. Cheap mass content is what the market wants (no matter if in porn or blogs), you got to fulfill a very specific niche if you want to lure in some whales.

> You'll rarely hear me say anything positive about cryptocurrency, but this is a rare exception

Cryptocurrencies bring in their own host of problems:

- people will automatically discard your opinion simply because you offer crypto - the NFT and shitcoin crazes as well as the environmental issues crypto has (e-waste, CO2 footprint, ...) have burnt so many people that offering crypto acceptance these days outside of anonymity context (e.g. VPNs, piracy) is just as negative on your brand as paying for Twitter Blue is (which is why Musk decided to not show any more if an account is legacy-verified or Twitter Blue subscriber).

- can't do KYC any more so you have a harder time doing taxes (may be more of an European problem, given the IRS seems to even allow you to enter crime proceedings - if I would do that on my taxes here in Germany, I'd get the cops knocking on my door)

- your whole infrastructure will now be targeted by sometimes highly sophisticated attackers going after your coins

> Again, these tend to be problems with lower-quality content. If you're trying to build a loyal fanbase you do that by providing quality content, not by spamming or stealing.

As a user, all I have at a moment is to look how the content currently is. I have no recourse when the author decides to sell out, similarly to what happened to MANY Chrome extensions that suddenly went and embedded malware (e.g. [1]), or when they / their database get inevitably hacked.

Yes they do. Do you think a company is going to set themselves for a best case scenario of breaking even? Or just take a 25% hit to profit unless they absolutely need to?

I just look at Wells Faro, and they have $900 billion in interest bearing deposits. With NI of $16 billion, just going up to 1% will wipe out 55% of profit.
Eh....kind of. There's several problems with Swarm in production, even at a small scale. I've ran into issues with nodes refusing workloads, inability to attach to the cluster, Docker failing to start, etc. Also since it's so sparingly used, I have to dig into the depths of Google to try to remediate the issue if I can't figure it out on my own.

Making Swarm production ready is also a time sink. Most people end up with a bunch of bash scripts mashing together YAML for secrets, deployments, etc.

Personally I think it's a waste of developer time. Most people don't need the features of Swarm or K8S. Just use a VM at a popular IaaS provider and stick a LB in front of it. Then you don't have to ask questions about IP rate limiting, or other gotchas. If you outgrow a couple of VMs, we can talk about throwing ASGs or containers at the problem. Honestly though most people I talk to don't need containerized solutions.
Did they lead with "we award $x for each patent"?
What exactly are those restrictions? Ios has a good sandbox model which is responsible for security.
Don't know how anyone who went through school would ever feel guilty about rolling their eyes at that.
Over the weekend I wanted a recipe for a dish I wanted to make and the first recipe I found required an important ingredient I didn't have. I thought I'd give ChatGPT a shot and asked it for the same recipe but not including that ingredient to see if it could come up with an alternative formulation.

I'm sure that recipe exists somewhere on the internet but ChatGPT gave something to me in a very succinct format with none of the usual bullshit you deal with when looking through search results. ChatGPT also thankfully did not include the usual recipe backstory.
The cars also improved aerodynamically. Modern cars designed to minimize the dead insect build up on the windshield. I suppose you're not driving the same old car for the past two decades?
Apple is more lucrative in the sense that people spend significantly more money on their App Store.
> this processor is fake, they'd say, because it has no real mode.

They could also claim that it’s not PC compatible. Because it literally wouldn’t be.

Apple also achieved their dream of the Mac no longer being a PC with the release of M1.
No, it's terrible. And they've also missed a golden opportunity to riff on AI's problem with fingers.
I Created a AI Gift Idea Generator Based on Instagram Username
I created a gift idea generator based on your Instagram username. Just enter the username of the recipient and watch the magic.
This weekend I used ChatGPT to:

1. Help select a data structure for a very specific use-case given certain constraints, generate a first pass of the code, and help debug it.

2. Recommend a recipe for the exact set of ingredients I had on hand. (It was for muffins, and they were delicious)

3. Diagnose and fix an issue on my stovetop that’s plagued me for months.

In some of these cases it dramatically reduced the time I would have spent searching/researching from hours to a minute. Search is great for some use-cases and not great for others. I’m glad DDG is supporting more use-cases with an eye toward privacy.
Where would you place the probabilities of:

* the reporter invented 20 interviews

* 20 people all completely forgot what would have been a memorable event

* 20 anonymous sources conspired to lie for no apparent gain

...vs. "the guy making money off of this story is lying"?

If the standard is "all things are completely unknowable unless you can eliminate every alternative, no matter how ludicrously unlikely" then we may as well not attempt to ever ascertain facts about anything.
> it is a condition that is typically unacceptable for commercial use of software

This is entirely untrue, though. Linux is GPL and it gets way more use than any of the pushover-licensed BSDs do.
They would sideload to do what exactly?
Atop – Top alternative for process monitoring
The article specifically discredits that earlier notion, and suggests a slightly different one.

No: "moon at fixed angle"

Yes: "sky is lighter, point topside at illumination to fly level"
As opposed to "minikube start"? Or "k3s server"?
It makes sense that you would start to exploit more of the advantages you have (you have a massive user base, you've got payments), but Apple launching a white-label goldman sachs savings account is just about as unsexy as you can get. I hoep this doesn't distract from the core business in the long term. By that I mean, this could make a lot of money, and if it does make a lot of money you'll end up with bankers being promoted and running Apple, which would be... bad.
Monzo is the only one in the list that has a banking license, i.e. legal right to take deposits and make loans. Not everyone is a digital native, even today. So when it comes to money matters, there will be a time when interacting with a virtual assistant is not going to do.

I don't visit my bank either in most cases. However, I can if I need to. That's a different kind of peace of mind compared to a e-bank that has no customer-facing physical location.
I was looking at a hotel on booking.com and I could not find the final price written anywhere.

There was a highlighted price with “excluding the following charges”, but no sum of the price and the charges.

Even after entering my details I couldn’t find the final charges as they asked me to enter my CC details.
A PR nightmare != a financial problem. Indeed, if your company exists in a vacuum, PR is no issue for you! However, I worked at Google, and I'm telling you right now that negative reception and bad press takes a toll on employee morale, among other things. That's because companies, of course, don't exist in a vacuum where there's never any consequences.

Of course, nobody is suggesting that Nintendo is going to go bankrupt because they were mean to some YouTubers who ostensibly didn't do anything wrong, but just because there's no easy way to quantify the impact does not mean it will never matter. It does matter.

I promise you, they are not sitting there thinking "Alright yeah! A bunch of people are really pissed off at us! High fives all around, this is exactly what we aim to do here at Nintendo!"
Oh yes I am not saying they are not entitled to protect their IP, just that they are unnecessarily hostile about it.
It would be great if VSCode provided an API for the tab labels but the Svelte team really created the problem in the first place.

This whole file-based routing wasn't a great idea to begin with, as a general solution to routing. It works (up to a point) for a static site generator, but most SSGs provide a permalink setting so there's an escape hatch.

The whole thing gets even worse when you start introducing issues like having dozens if not hundreds of files with the same filename, weird characters in folder and file names, etc.
They make expensive products and they make a credit card so that anybody can "afford" them. They also want your user data.
Well, the old food pyramid hasn't been used in almost 20 years now.
