In which direction? Some countries are more suspicious of outsiders and give their citizens an easier time. Other countries are more fearful of the threat within and couldn’t care less what some random tourist is doing.
I think the point of this law is to capture tax from companies in their growth phase, as the general public sees these companies as tax avoiders and their lack of profit as an accounting trick.

In reality, it will keep small companies small and less of a threat to big companies.

“ The elephant in the room but everyone is forgetting is - how much does Reddit pay its users for content? ”

I have to say I’m not a fan of reddit, but you could also ask the question: how much do users pay to access reddit?

The web has made a lot of people feel entitled to free (high quality) services. But as developers we know building and maintaining services like reddit is not cheap (let alone free).
That’s a third thing: most people don’t use either random passwords or XKCD-style passwords; they use a combination of words, letters, and punctuation that contain some memorable context. That generally produces very mediocre (but not completely terrible) passwords, which a strong KDF then transforms into an infeasible amount of work.
You don't think the staff at a polling place know whether the thing they're submitting to be counted is the printed ballots, or some other output of the ballot marking device?

The article you linked doesn't seem to have any connection to the flow where a computerized machine helps mark a ballot, drops it into your hands, and you can see and review it before dropping it into a box to be counted.
I see your point, bit I think it depends on what you are comparing it to.

I think the problem is that a lot of titles are neither accurate nor descriptive, and in that comparison “Clock” beats a lot of them as well as covering the essence of 75% of what you are going to be looking at.

If this had been described as “Time” that would’ve left you wondering.

It came close in both tests, but didn't recognize that Obama was tipping the scale

To be honest I didn't either, and only noticed it after reading the 2012 Karpathy challenge

> (...)

> You recognize that Obama has his foot positioned just slightly on top of the scale. Notice the language I’m using: It is in terms of the 3D structure of the scene, not the position of the leg in the 2D coordinate system of the image.

> You know how physics works: Obama is leaning in on the scale, which applies a force on it. Scale measures force that is applied on it, that’s how it works => it will over-estimate the weight of the person standing on it.

> The person measuring his weight is not aware of Obama doing this. You derive this because you know his pose, you understand that the field of view of a person is finite, and you understand that he is not very likely to sense the slight push of Obama’s foot.

> You understand that people are self-conscious about their weight. You also understand that he is reading off the scale measurement, and that shortly the over-estimated weight will confuse him because it will probably be much higher than what he expects. In other words, you reason about implications of the events that are about to unfold seconds after this photo was taken, and especially about the thoughts and how they will develop inside people’s heads. You also reason about what pieces of information are available to people.

> There are people in the back who find the person’s imminent confusion funny. In other words you are reasoning about state of mind of people, and their view of the state of mind of another person. That’s getting frighteningly meta.

> Finally, the fact that the perpetrator here is the president makes it maybe even a little more funnier. You understand what actions are more or less likely to be undertaken by different people based on their status and identity.

I’m not sure you have really thought this through.

You’re suggesting that people avoid using port and starboard on a boat because they should be focused on learning how to not fall overboard?

Terms like “port” and “starboard” are particularly important when someone falls overboard. The last thing you want to do is tell someone to grab the man overboard “on the right side” and have them go to the wrong side of the boat in a crucial moment. This is why these things exist. We have been sailing for hundreds of years and are very good at it.

Despite this, your entire argument is a bit ridiculous. It is not zero sum- port and starboard do not take up “brain space” that causes you to forget a life jacket. Boat training will help you ensure the safety of the passengers AND teach you “port” and “starboard”.
Thank you for this, I've avoided learning powershell for as long as possible but recent circumstances have left me no choice in the matter.
>Gentoo, on the other hand, is (or was when I used it) as you describe, where every other update would randomly break the system and they would tell you on IRC "don't use it if you don't like it, it's free," which was solid advice that I adopted.

Gentoo would break a lot when I used it, and I also learned a lot by getting it to work when it broke.

But I do not blame Gentoo for it. It was mostly my fault, for using ~x86 ("testing" keyword) instead of x86.
Koa works great. The nicest part is that you don't feel like you're fighting Typescript when you use it, if you use static types.
Even that is overkill. With TSA Pre/Clear and no checked bags you can easily roll in ~45 mins before the flight.
Wow, reading the summary of CUA it seems like a dream (even if a few standards like cut/copy/paste, seem awkward) in today’s UI hellscape. Swipe left for the menu. Then tap Settings, then that spawns a modal. Swipe up and down to scroll it if you realize there’s scrolling with an invisible scroll bar, oh nope, you swiped too vigorously, we interpreted that as a close gesture because we animate in our modals from the bottom so that seemed natural to us.
Except the last season, writing turned so bad there, as if the writer ruined it all on purpose. It reminds me GoT ending fiasco.

This is simply a finetune of LLaMA-13B, so it has the same ~11GB RAM or VRAM requirement as 13B for inferencing.

With 4bit LoRAs you can finetune 13B with 12GB of VRAM. On a 3090 it can take as little as a couple of hours.
I’m not sure if I agree with the articles thesis. There have always been bleak anime.

There’s so much more out there now. Some of it is whimsical and hopeful. Some that come to mind from the last decade:

- Yuri on Ice
- A Place Further than the Universe
- Your Name
- Sasaki and Miyano
- Given
- The last Evangelion movie (which was a real holy shit moment for me)
- Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
- This one is an odd pick but the Cyberpunk anime Netflix came out with last year was so so good. I know it undercuts my point given how it’s set in a dystopia but I felt like humanizing these characters that are criminals in a broken world and showing how they still have hopes and dreams and love… I found it very touching.
- The Stranger by the Shore

Also Chainsaw Man is really really good, though it is dark and gory.

Someone in this thread mentioned that the financial sector records all history for anything work related. What's wrong with that?

Are you arguing that corporations need to violate laws in order to be productive and efficient?

Yes. But look at how much leaked out in Google's case.

What do you think would happen if Google's policy was to only use personal means of communication? (IE, personal cell #, personal email, text messages instead of chat...) What do you think would be happening now?
For me that’s a last resort. As someone whose career involves producing intellectual property (like most programmers) I prefer to pay for it whenever possible.

I’ll torrent things if they aren’t available any other way, but I hope that isn’t the case.
Each logical container (a Pod) has a set of data objects called Didgets (short for Data Widgets) where each one is assigned a unique 64-bit number as its ID. Each tag is defined with a data type (e.g. Person.FirstName has type STRING) using a schema like how a column in a relational table is defined.

All tags within the same context are stored together in a highly optimized Key-Value store (also stored within specialized Didgets) like how a columnar store database stores all the data for a single column separately. So if you attach a tag like Person.FirstName = 'John' to a photo of John that is stored in a Didgets with ID = 123; then within the tag the value of 'John' is mapped to the key 123 within the Person.FirstName tag store.

This makes it extremely efficient to find all the Didgets where 'John' was attached as a person's first name. It can also find everything where the first name starts with 'J' or a vowel (using regex). The values within each tag store are de-duplicated and reference counted. In the example, the value 'John' is stored once. If 100 things have 'John' attached, then its reference count is 100. This makes it extremely fast to find everything with the 10 most popular names.

The tags were so efficient and fast that I built relational tables using them that are often faster to query than traditional database systems. In this case the 'Key' each value is mapped to is the rowID within the table.

Here is a video showing how that compares to SQLite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va5ZqfwQXWI
Off-topic: the first thing I thought when I saw the photo in the article was, "Vint Cerf looks like him."
If you take a look at widely deployed GPU ISAs (such as GCN/RDNA), you'll find they're RISC ISAs with some specialized instructions.

The graphics effort in RISC-V aims at providing a bunch of such specialized instructions in an official extension, suitable for GPU use.
GPT-4 is generally excellent. If you have errors, you can often ask it to fix them. GPT-3.5 is not so good.

I recently asked GPT-4 to write an elisp function that would automatically query GPT using an openai client and insert a docstring written by GPT for any Python function under the point. It worked on the first try!

This world would be so much more kick ass if random companies like Sony were just screwing around producing low cost but neat-ish RISC-V chips. That's the real investment we want/need.

There are servers that are provisioned to do this for isp systems. Sure you are testing to some known set of servers but you cant expect max rate speed to the internet. It doesnt make any sense and an ISP shouldn't even be expected to.

Link speed is what it is. On GPON your ONT links at 1.2gbps. No one cares about this information. We don't provision based on link speed. Unless you are paying for guaranteed bandwidth, you arent going to get guaranteed bandwidth. I monitor all of our pons and if they go over a certain percent utilization for a period of time we split them or move customers around. There are systems and reports to do all of this.

The amount of customers that even know what IPv4 is is minuscule.

You are using our ONT, there is no madness that would allow otherwise. I will give you a passthrough port if you need one.

To be more precise, to e.
The protest in France against Macron's raising of the retirement age was a principled act of dissent, and there is no evidence that participating in it suggests any plans for terrorism on British soil. Therefore, it is a violation of those principles for the British police to ask a French woman to show them the contents of her phone or computer simply because she attended the protest.
In Japan a central station is within a hub of business and retail activity. In LA the central station is next to county jail and Skid Row. There’s additional expense (probably on both ends for SF-LA trip) that’s negligible in Japan to get to the final destination within the city.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics. As long as the data is broken down by zip code, and not street-by-street, broadband competition and thus access will still be made up of lies large corporations tell the FCC. Where the FCC really needs teeth is to be able to hold those corporations to the advertised rates. If a speed test can't give the advertised maximum numbers, FCC fines should land on the companies advertising those rates.
What about software agencies/consultancies? Their salaries would not be capex right? They don’t own the software, they just develop it to spec and sell the development. Their client would be the one to claim R&E right?

American legislation has always been outcome-based. The Constitution itself included a "three fifths of all other Persons" compromise to get the document ratified by the Southern states in the first place.

There was no principle that justified the ownership of other human beings in a country that ostensibly adopted fundamental rights, yet there we were. That worked until we fought a bloody war to change it, and then another compromise was reached. And that worked until the scale of the economy got to the point that if it wasn't operated in concert, it tore itself apart, and a new compromise was reached. And that worked until men who fought alongside men of other skin colors came back from the war and asked why they were good enough to bleed and die for this country, but not good enough to sit at a dining table next to someone they'd huddled in a foxhole with (while women asked why they were good enough to work the factories while the men were away but not when the men came back), and further new compromises were reached.

It's always been compromises all the way down. Outcome-based law is the lifeblood of a democracy: the best outcome for the most people (with enough backstops against that pure-utilitarian approach to prevent, ideally, the creation of a permanent oppressed minority class).
In the automotive trade, a vehicle has a "driver's side" and "passenger side". This only partly solves the ambiguity, because of course some countries drive on the left.

It makes me worry about the invisible minions that are pushing the blocks into place. They only have a second, blocks are falling, how can the get it to the right numbers in time? But as soon as the numbers are legible, the blocks for the next number are already falling, and the invisible minions must jump straight to working on those blocks without a moments rest, second after second, nonstop for eternity.

I had an xbox live ultimate account I made during the pandemic.

xbox announced a partnership with EA so that people who had ultimate got access to EA games. OF course the trick is that it links your xbox account with an EAplay account.

Except it wouldn't work. It said I already had an eaplay account. I didn't recall making one but maybe I did a long time ago with that email. I couldn't get it to recover the password. I messaged EA to ask them to delete the ea account so I could make a new one and they said not unless I knew the password of the old one - of course I didn't that was the whole point. I asked them to send a password reset to the associated email and since it was through the xbox thing it wouldn't work. I messaged xbox to ask them what I should do and they didn't know - it was EAs problem not theirs.

So basically the EA partnership thing never worked for me and I never got to play any of their games. It was sort of the beginning of the end of using that service for me as the whole thing was frustrating. I don't think I ever made an EA play account ever, so my assumption is that my email (which has appeared on lists from compromised sites before) was used to try to see if someone could steal my games from EA or something and it ended up putting any account in limbo.

Truthfully I'm sort of ok with it now - I wouldn't give EA my money willingly so being forced away from their games is not that big a sacrifice.

What is the reason you have in mind?

I suspect it's different, in that I expect the reason for people is something like "handedness makes people better at violence". Whereas I suspect chirality is more like driving on the right/left side of the road. Which one you pick doesn't matter, but picking is less chaotic than not picking.
Tons of recording artists own their masters, both big and small. It’s a function of their contract that determines that ownership, and those terms are clear. Just as they are clear in Reddit’s TOS. You own your content, Reddit simply has a license to use it.

Is there any way a pre-IPO startup can give equity without imposing a tax burden on employees?

For instance, if an employees options vest, I believe they are required to pay taxes on the computed value of the shares. But in i.e a pre-seed company, there may be further dilution, so you end up paying tax on something that is lost in the end.
In most situations (not all) the load balancer is actually a proxy. So when you type in example.com, the dns points to a load balancer. You connect to a load balancer, the load balancer opens a connection with the desired server (probably sitting in a private network somewhere), and proxies the traffic to the server.

You never actually connect to the server in this case. You stay connected to the load balancer the whole time, the load balancer makes a request to the server, which processes your request, and sends it back to the load balancer, which then proxies the data back to you in the response.

In this case the LB sits between you (the user) and the actual server running the application. In this case the LB knows how many connections each server has in the system because it is actually the one connected to the servers. If a server drops a connection, the LB knows because its the one that actually is losing connection. So it is fully aware of what all servers are doing in this scenario.

The only thing the load balancer might still need to do is ping servers for health checks to make sure they are online when the servers are not connected, this is also how it knows latency and other metrics.

There’s no way the law will be changed. Both major parties support it and have done for decades. Fear and being tough wins votes, and even if it didn’t, what’s the point of being in power if you can’t jail a few dissidents?

The only thing that politicians are afraid of is the media, and British people are sheep who follow the prevailing media narrative. If you want to change the law in Britain: buy a newspaper publisher.
