How many times have you read about someone locked out of their <insert major tech company> account and having no recourse except taking it to HN and hoping a human on the inside reaches out?

Imagine if that was every corporation, and some of them had zero humans on the inside.

No mention of deciduous teeth. "Human infants are costly to rise" - is it a koan?
Just because some cryptocurrencies are obvious securities, especially the ICO ones, doesn't mean there aren't tulip like cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies are inherently non monolithic in design.

Yeah, very unfortunate they gave up :(
It's a 15 minute talking head video from 4 years ago, and when you get to the end, it says that "Corporations are the real misaligned AGI" will be covered in the next video. No sign of that next video.

His big point in the first video is that corporations can achieve only a modest level of superintelligence. A corporation can have more breadth of knowledge than any individual, and for some tasks, that's good enough. But it's mostly using more people for broad coverage.

All this predates GPT. What we're seeing with GPT is good breadth combined with mediocre intelligence. That's very corporate. It handles much of what people do in offices.
We may not get super-intelligence that way. Just super bureaucracy. Which is a problem.
> That's not because of their credit risk but because they pay little to no coupon and get discounted through the interest rates. In particular imagine a treasury bond that will pay $100 in 10 years, you wouldn't pay $100 for that, would you? You'd instead put that $100 in a savings account (t-bills).

Long treasuries (>1 year) are issued at very close to par and do pay coupons. A treasury that is trading at 50-something cents on the dollar has lost a lot of value (because it has a lower coupon rate than newer treasuries).
Thanks for the summary. Now I don't need to read the paper, as your summary is clear and concise, while jumping to figure 1 and trying to understand that without reading the 2.5 pages before it was not possible for me.

So just loose the snark and keep working for free for us!

Have you considered writing a blog or posting your thoughts about your experience and journey in finding the “perfect” tea brew? I’m sure your thoughts would save many amateurs a lot of frustrations. I, myself, am intrigued how nuanced the process is
Here in Europe the term tenure is also used, but apparently vastly differently.

Here, "tenure" means you have a permanent position at a university. You can still be fired, but it's quite a hassle involving a lengthy process. Basically, you're guaranteed to stay employed given adequate performance, but your task allotment can still vary a lot. Eg. less publications can lead to less research time and thus more teaching duties. (Such a thing can lead to a spiral of ever-reduced research time, yes).

If performance keeps being under par after task allotment shifts, you may end up in a new role - eg. as manager instead of researcher. Etc. etc. Basically, things have to get quite bad before you're out of a job, but you cannot sit back and hibernate, or you lose your role as a prof.

Anyway, it seems that in the US, this is rather different. Or, at least, the perception of tenure amongst commenters is.
Perhaps it makes sense if you hunk of it as a company (inherently a mass noun) rather than a corporation (i.e. a “body”, inherently a count noun).

If I recall correctly, the removal is the ZFS Event Daemon from Ubuntu, not ZFS itself.

Which is pretty much fine; it was never finished anyway. Ambitious project with which Canonical seems to have bitten off more than it can chew...

However a cursory search doesn't turn up any more info, so, grain of salt.

I think the article is right and wrong. The top 10 has degenerated as the population consuming music has broadened. Not that there's nothing ever good in there. But it is objectively simpler music, very barebones, a beat, 2 or 3 chords, no instrumental melody, autotune voice, meaningless lyrics (not meaningless as in they don't mean anything, but meaningless as in written to be a song and not written because they had personal meaning to the author(s)).

However, it's far easier to find any niche music you like. You can sit at home and go through entire historical back catalogues.

It doesn't seem like a good time for musicians. My take on that is that there was a period of time when some musicians were able to sell themselves due to changing technology and that coevolved with cultural changes. Now we're seeing a reversion to the mean where music isn't worth that much. If you write something new you're competing with everything written before and some of that is pretty good. Too many people are good at playing to make good at playing be a major selling point. I don't know how sad we should be about that. I'd prefer a world where it's common to play music at home than one where we just consume the music produced by a few bigshot artists.
It is not a good future, and at least in Amazon’s case jeff@amazon.com works as an escalation route.

My gmail account with the same username got banned in 2007ish in the middle of college, I definitely feel the pain of no recourse. I lost everything - calendars, todo lists, email and had no way to get the underlying data or do anything about it.

My hope is that at the end of the day a corporation is made of people (legally, this is why they have 1st amendment rights in the USA) and this will prevent the scenario you imagine because the money of those people will be at risk.
The opportunities to borrow cryptocurrencies without collateral are nonexistent and this requires a bank license either way. I don't see the innovation.

If you want to look at the past of money, there is the Chiemgauer which is the most successful complementary currency in Germany and even that one only did 7 million € worth of actual consumer/business transactions in 2015 (there are no updated statistics but it is ongoing and growing).

People keep using the national currency because it reduces transaction costs.
You should be like the steel, a little less rigid, in your thinking. Obviously steel isn't cast iron, because hey look at that, different names. Also if steel were cast iron, it wouldn't be an improvement on cast iron as I'm saying, it would just be cast iron. On the other hand, it is primarily composed of iron and is literally cast. Finally the person is speaking in 1847. I don't demand that he exactly predict the future. If he predicts there will be improvements to cast iron (the primary material of his time), I say he's right even if he fails to foresee that the resulting iron product, that is cast, is known by another name and ends up making what he knows and we know as cast iron, obsolete for structural use.
There is always something more important, but we all can't be doing that, one powerful way to make a difference is pushing from all the angles and places, not only the ones deemed "important", that is it how it has always been, many one important parts of history started by two unimportant strangers socializing in some unimportant place.

Anyway, thanks for your work, I may disagree with some of your decisions but know most of your actions help make this forum worth reading.
That computer scientists think that they are even close to replicating biology and the mammal brain with AI is complete hubris. This is biology inspired engineering, it's not like we are building brains out of silicon here.
I use zip (in flight) and 2 different lz (on disk) for my 3D action voxel MMO.

But the characters are flat shaded so those textures are tiny.

You need to look at the data, animation weights compresses 95% with a simple lz.

One big dissappointment was half-float support having low performance on the some drivers, that would have saved 50% off the models.

One advantage of not compressing is that your disk shows the (V)RAM usage you'll have.

I'm aiming for 1GB total (to support 2GB Raspberry 4) and my biggest concern is uncompressed 120Hz animations! (to save CPU)

But so many of those can be hot-loaded off disk.
Definitely not the best place to ask but I try.

Martyrdom in literal terms is death by any means other than natural. So if a building collapses on a person, they are called martyred. I am not sure which one you are referring to but if you mean the martyrs of battle, they get a special kind of salvation on the day of judgement.

Your fourth question is funny. Peaceful societies are transient. When push comes to shove, no society is “peaceful”. Islam works upon an order of laws that command action and discipline at all times including during persecution and battle. The first physical battle is one for your defense. The second battle is one for the liberation of another. Anyone who dies in this cause is given a certain kind of salvation different from any other. But to be honest, the salvation is not the highest of salvation that one could get. There are higher magnitudes.

Islam gives a person structure (as all religion do?), an absolute perfect guidance, and an order of hierarchy that puts God above all, and the worshiper as His slave. From this point on, the worshiper struggle and strives in the path to establish his prayers, pay the charity that is due, and fast.

My journey is one of successes and falls. And persistence. It helps me discover personal flaws, work towards eradication, and then discover deeper truths and more concealed flaws. And upon an endless cycle that I hope by the time I meet my lord, I am free of any and all imperfections. Without Islam, I am a slave to my desires and intellect, which is self driven, and misleading.

Last note: A Muslim is one who submits to God, follows the religion of Abraham called Islam as conveyed by Muhammad, peace on them both, who was gifted with a miracle called the Quran. It is the only religion that specifically came by design for all of mankind. And though this is a challenging statement to make, the Quran is bold enough to make it. I cannot imagine a book or making such high claims, and not fail them even after so many centuries, without being a miracle itself.
No. Germany already began shutting down reactors in 2011 and coal use continued to go down. The proof is in the pudding -- data beats predictions.

The rise in renewables will continue to decrease coal use. Deadline for coal is 2038, with possibly moving it to 2030.
Hardware accelerated is still not zero cost. Plus if you are publishing for the other console and/or PC there is a question as to whether you want to do the extra work for one platform.
> What is the PHP equivalent of writing your front end and back end in the same language so you can share libraries and data and not have to switch gears between two different languages each time you look up or down the stack?

You can simply compile your PHP code to wasm with emscripten, and then run it in the browser. Pretty straightforward. No more switching gears.

Private enterprise is certainly leveraging LLMs. OpenAI APIs on Azure are very hot right now, limited to companies that have existing contracts with Azure.

Yeah the background of the original also seemed to contain some kind of slight texture.
For what it’s worth, we implement tests in the client language (C# in our case) and just call the stored procedures/views (in SQL Server) as any client would. Most tests are written so that they rollback after execution, and to tolerate any residual data that might have been left after the tests that must commit. A very small number of tests require a clean database, which we accomplish by traversing INFORMATION_SCHEMA and just emptying all the tables (we also temporarily disable constraints and triggers).

These tests are just normal “unit” tests from the perspective of Visual Studio, which brings one enormous benefit: you can put a breakpoint in T-SQL code and just right-click on the test and choose Debug, and the breakpoint will be hit! That’s possible because Visual Studio debugger can switch from C# to T-SQL seamlessly.

This is a fantastic way to debug in exactly the right test case which exposes the bug or behavior that you want to test.
The light transmission through the water, it's cloudiness, is just way to variable for something like this to work constantly, reliably.
That's exactly what I've done personaly, I've bought an Android so that everything works again for me. I also decommissioned my iOS app and consider their platform fully legacy. Any bug on safari mobile will also be marked as a wontfix, users can get an Android phone in the future.
Thanks for highlighting.
How does it relate to slog?

Also, the statement is itself wrong already at face value in many situations, for example if someone has a credit card or runs an online shop and is contractually required to hide something. For instance, quoting from https://usa.visa.com/legal/checkout/terms-of-service.html:

"You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your username and password(s), if any. In addition, if you choose to be remembered on your device or browser, or link your use of the Visa Solution with a digital wallet, on one or more device(s), you are responsible for protecting the safety of and access to such device(s). It is important that you do so since we are not responsible for any losses you incur as a result of unauthorized use of your Eligible Card and, depending on the circumstances, your Issuer may hold you responsible for unauthorized use of your Eligible Card account."

Another example for mandatory secrecy are confidentiality requirements imposed by professional obligations, such as for lawyers and physicians, in order to ensure fair trials, and for the protection of human dignity.
That’s best when possible, but if each context and response very large, a good prompt is the best way to distill the information without fine tuning.

I suppose you could try asking for shorter examples to provide for a few-shot prompt, could work well in some cases
The analogy works, you may also step on it bare foot :D

Truth.

Youtube took down every channel that didn't agree with the US government/Uncle Joe on Russia/Nato/Ukraine, at least.

RT (Russia) and the so-far-left-they-went-hard-right crowd (Taibbi, etc.), PressTV (Iran), etc.

And they label 'government-funded' channels but not 'corporate-funded' channels, even when those corporations are bigger than governments.

Corporations "set the conditions within which the U.S. government operates, and control it to a large extent" -- but are kind of seen as not important actors -- they're made invisible.

https://www.accountancydaily.co/corporations-dominate-worlds...

Global corporations are increasingly wealthier than many countries, with Walmart, Apple and Shell richer than Russia, Belgium and Sweden, according to research by the campaigning group Global Justice Now, which found that 69 of the world’s top 100 economic entities are corporations rather than countries in 2015

We definitely need to rein in corporations like YouTube/Google/Alphabet, and not just Big Tech -- but real players like Walmart, ExxonMobile, etc.
Don't know how this works for Muslims, but if it's anything like for Christians, the goal is to not have the desires to begin with, not just refrain from acting on them (though that's a good start).

That’s the second time I see bank account number framed as something private. Why? It doesn’t authorise anyone to do anything. It’s not like a debit/credit card number.

Your two requirements contradict each other. You can choose one or the other, but not both.

The world's militaries have invested a great deal of time and money into researching underwater sensors. The solution is not going to be discovered by random people on the Internet.
And a terminal emulator with low latency definitely helps.
I think you're misunderstanding me. My only issue was with the quoted examples. I completely agree that the situation is pretty unbelievable and the warrant was likely very poorly worded if they were forced to leave without taking anything.

To me, the whole situation sounds more like a local government failure which mullvad successfully capitalized on.
For all we know it actually worked that way. Steam definitely decompresses game assets at install time. The people complaining about game sizes aren't looking at the depot files you download when installing the game, they're looking at their HDD (which is fair!)

My guess is Valve doesn't offer a 'decompress your ogg files to wav at install time' feature though.
nuclear transforms mining rights into money, so does coal or oil or gas.

wind transforms the decentralized location of the plant into energy, so does solar. wind and solar transfer the heart of the profits from mining to decentralized, local communities.

in that context Siemens is publicly traded, and does what the board wants it to do. they had fig leave wind investments.

Germany has divested from solar production, battery production and wind plant production. _di_-vested.

Elon Musk is a complex person, like any other human being. Many of his achievements are fantastic and I cheer them on appropriately. When I think he gets something wrong, I don't hesitate to say so.

Allow me to illustrate with an example from a week ago. I wrote this in reply to Elon's tweet about "life imprisonment for sterilizing children" (I'm trans, and very open about it since starting my transition six months ago):

"Should I have gone to prison for life when I was 12 and I tried to sterilize myself with a rubber band? I suffered terribly for three decades because of the testosterone puberty I went through and never wanted."

https://twitter.com/realTaraHarris/status/164683309263877734...

I try my best to use Twitter to support other trans women. My DMs are open in order to make myself more available, especially to people that are afraid to transition and/or mired in circumstances that make it difficult to do so (such as living in a red state and/or with an unsupportive home environment.)

I have also spent the past several months supporting and amplifying communists, socialists and anarchists on Twitter whenever possible, even though my own personal viewpoint differs somewhat from each of those groups. I do this because I think everyone brings something to the table, and the continued marginalization of the true left in the United States is very dangerous as we enter this new period of war and economic instability.

Let me know which one of us should be embarrassed.

There was a distribution called WinLinux that did this, iirc. Installed like a normal piece of windows software. Was my first foray into unices when I was a young kid. There were some fun games in that distro!
> I on the other hand, I applaud the politicians who had the guts to push the ICE car sales ban against the push-back

I can't agree, because forceful bans are not the best way to accomplish change.

Simply keep improving battery technology to bring prices down and range up and it'll take a natural course once buying an EV becomes cheaper than an ICE car. Implementing bans makes it political and builds resentment which is counterproductive. Building a better product and letting the market decide works so much better.
When 3rd party App Stores comes, people will reverse engineer those features and creates applications which can do exactly same thing.
A rather clueless article I must say.

First, the author links to WHATWG HTML but labels the link "W3C". Then the article talks about "XHTML" which hasn't been a thing since 2009 or so. Finally, the author pulls HTML validation results from W3C's nu validator site via curl, but you can just run it locally as a Java app, which also might've the benefit that you're in control over the HTML version to validate against.

To the latter point, W3C's most recent recommended WHATWG HTML snapshot (with not even a newer proposed recommendation) is HTML Review Draft published January, 2020 [1]. That recommendation , being a product of W3C's and WHATWG's "memorandum of understanding" prohibiting W3C changes to WHATWG specs (or does it?), happily accepts a number of long-standing WHATWG design decisions W3C had always rejected, such as liberal HTML heading nesting levels and the so-called HTML5 outlining algorithm. While that part of the spec was finally rewritten last year by "properly" (wrt to the MoU debate) editing the upstream WHATWG spec, it didn't make it into a new W3C HTML version.

Someone who has a thirst for illicit relationship with women must also refrain from doing so.

Forbidding a person from lusting anyone other than spouse whether they like it or not is no different than forbidding a person from having gay desires. And no amount of self identification can label that inhumane.
Netscape was a company during a time when using the Internet was a niche activity.

Google is one of the most powerful entities in the history of mankind, with read/write access to the private information of the majority of humans alive.

The two aren't comparable. Indeed, there are few entities that are comparable to Google. Google won't use their technological edge to keep potential competitors out, they'll use their financial, social, and political power.
It didn’t solve any problem, it was politics.
