No, it wasn’t about the price of a burger. My point was that just because you made a million dollars and your buddy didn’t, don’t start treating him like every simple, common social expense must be a financial burden for him.
I have a nice little window fan that I've had for years, but last time I pulled it out it started blanking my monitor when I flip it on. I've assumed that this is some sort of ESD issue, but I don't have any great ideas on how to troubleshoot or resolve it.
I was about to dig this one out myself!

Erm, your argument has nothing to do with college degrees at all. You’re just saying Canadian police shoot less people than American police, which nobody is disputing.

Can you provide a source on gpt4 image model being fake? I haven’t heard that before, though I have wondered why I haven’t heard anything about the image part and don’t have access to image processing myself.
I’m skeptical of that mile or less comment. Most likely it involves picking up groceries or other heavy goods, transporting children, and ignores inclement weather — all which are difficult to impossible by bike and a large hardship by foot. The US is largely not built like Manhattan or European cities.
I thought that the use of differential pairs in these various systems was supposed to protect against outside interference?

Looking at the pinouts for HDMI and DisplayPort I see that they both use differential pairs for all the high speed lanes that carry audio and video.

For the lower speed channel for other things such as control functions DisplayPort uses a differential pair. HDMI does not. Does that make HDMI more sensitive to interference?

AFAIK, converting an image to a text summary isn't really a thing by itself. The related work would be "visual reasoning" which is the ability to ask things about the image in natural language and get responses back also in natural language.

I believe the current SOTA test for NLVR is VQAv2[0] or GQA[1].

Mark Shepard's system has been reproduced/used as inspiration in many other places, I could name at least a few here in Germany from the top of my head, all of them commercially successful (tough I admittedly do not have calorie production figures for those and am not sure if they exist). But I'm not sure why the example of his farm warrants so much skepticism. He isn't in a special location, on the contrary: his soils were a corn farm previously, degraded and according to the generally accepted advice at the time unusable for Walnuts, one of his main crops. He didn't use any special technology, etc.

> It's the reality of farming in a free-market society.

But farming is not a free-market enterprise in "modern" societies. It is the most subsidized and among the most regulated among all enterprises in industrialized economies. German farmers derive half their income and all their profits from government (mostly EU) subsidies. I don't know the figures for the US, but I'd bet that they are similar. Farming, by who and how farming is practiced is basically entirely defined by political priorities, which at this time are mostly still based on the technological and scientific developments of the 1930s-1970s, which have created some very well established commercial interest groups (chem-ag concerns, farmers unions, etc.).

Tencent Cloud announces Deepfakes-as-a-Service for $145
Tech salaries in Canada are similar to tech salaries in US backwaters. My hypothesis is that the primary reason is there is some virtuous cycle of access to capital bringing more tech workers to California which cause more tech companies to be created, which suck in more workers from elsewhere, which increase capital availability and the number of new companies created. If immigration policy reduces the amount of workers that can be pulled in too severely, this will slowly grind to a halt.

Spreadsheets are what do it for me. Haven't noticed it on anything else. Only whole-screen spreadsheets. Opening the start menu (covers maybe 1/5th of the screen width and half the height, so 10% overall I'd guess) is already enough to break the pattern. At 110% or 90% zoom it does not happen at all, it needs to be the default zoom level. It's also noticeably less if there are colored cells.

You can dial the screen's volume by making the libreoffice window partially transparent (I have that bound to scrolling on the title bar). This is on an Acer 1920x1080 (~23"?) screen from around 2009.

The end user chose to use Firefox. The service provider is free to do as they please, it's their infrastructure and your access to it is at their discretion.

Don't like it? Use Privacy Pass or pick another set of compromises.

With that said, when I was still willing to subject myself to Mozilla in any form, I never found CloudFlare to be a problem, and I've used it since it launched. If people use Firefox, they're probably a privacy wonk LARPing an imagined threat model, and are using a shitty cheap VPN used by countless attackers, it's unlikely to be the browser itself unless they're doing something weird with extensions.
Oh, you know it! That's going to be a great tale to bust out for years to come.
The key thing people don’t realize or understand is that hardly any agriculture is sustainable, and even less is restorative. Permaculture is extremely interesting because of that.

The challenge is finding ways to harvest food reliably and at any meaningful scale.
It's an excellent point. DMCA is for copyright. My take (I have a background in this area but IANAL): I think they can get away with the copyright because of the name/content usage (no one of the opposite end of the request is going to question that, it seems obvious), but I think it's clear to those in the know that's not WHY they went after this one.

In theory, they could probably use DCMA to go after anyone using the terms (right or wrong). In practicality, they used it as a tool to go after this particular one because they didn't like what they were doing.
Probably they meant almost exactly 1000kg.
He also had large quantities of non-AI generated abuse material, and the AI version was deep fakes, ie using real source material and superimposing faces on it. The point being, this isn't a novel case of someone charged for making something synthetic, the AI angle is a small component.
Pretty good analogy.

I think one of the biggest concerns right now (maybe always?) in the stock market is "things will stop being gangbusters, the economy will slow, growth will slow, and the ball with stop being projected to be in front of you/forward at any scale/pace"?

Agree...I have 2 thoughts re lab meat

1) If you're going through so much time and expense to simulate meat, why not just change your diet to something more akin to "primary sources" - i.e. vegetables, or other food that is better than meat in your desired criteria (land use, water use, etc)? That is more naturally grown and more appealing?

2) By the time you spend so much money/energy/biochemical processes to simulate the real meat, is what you get just as energy intensive/unhealthy as the original?
I'm building a one-man SaaS and I'm currently shopping for a hosted monitoring service. Got the free trial of Grafana Cloud but I'm not a fan of their products in general. I know Prometheus, I have used DataDog in the past but seems crazy expensive spread thin with 1001 features.

What's a good all-in-one cloud monitoring solution that might optionally deal with logs as well?

Log monitoring is not actually a priority at this stage, I just want something to track metrics, chart them and to alert me when the servers are on fire.

Something open-source adjacent and not crazily expensive would be best. As I said I know Prometheus, but for some reason it's so flexible and free form I really do not enjoy using it.
What are the chances of the conflict of interest (or lack thereof) between OpenAI/Microsoft/Github being an issue here? I'm kind of surprised they even bothered with a takedown request.

2,000 acres of highly-automated 4-employer farm nets an income of $240,000 USD per year. John Deere equipments all cost more than that.

Furthermore, computerizing farm implements means shorter life span for its equipments.

Probably why older cars are lasting longer than newer ones. Computer chip failure of a 20-yo car means a trip to the wrecking yard to get that chip or get totaled; 40-yo car, not as much.

He says, "all the code in this repository _that_ was written by me" was, if fact, hand-written by him rather than auto-generated by a tool like copilot.

I read it as he is open to contributions and if you want to use AI that's allowed but he notes that he does not and he provides a rationale to boot. Fine by me.
yeah it might be prime time to start a flank of church that includes eating real meat from free range beef cattle, no sarcasm, puns intended… plus imagine if we actually let the real cattle dwindle enough to the point where commercial or infrastructure failure would leave us with a sudden large gap in available meat, seems like sustainable local farming is the only wise solution, not more factory farms with even less cows
yeah that would have helped, but the issue was really that either the default RBAC for contacts when using "salesforce sites" was either Public from what I remember or it was one of those things that required a lot more proper setup and people usually would "get back to it later" and never did.

So now, you have all your contacts available for unauthorized users to read, and since they provide automatic "list" pages as /<first 3 chars of record> you automatically get a nice table interface for anyone to scrape.
Embeddings are great for this, capture all posts by all people in the sub and embed them, then cluster users by their overall position and the distances between their posts, etc, to profile them ideologically and single-issue wise, and then graph the links between similarly located users. Do they post in a web, or a tag-team way that differentiates them from other users?

And then also color these by the average response time, etc. But don't rely on these types metrics because they're the easiest to avoid by simply delaying responses based on their length and complexity, plus a random discovery time, plus a time-of-day dependent offset.

And then, potentially just issue warnings. "You've been detected participating in a brigading fashion, and bot or not, may be banned if this continues" and see what changes.
OpenAI reinstates service in Italy with enhanced transparency and rights
My experience with ADHD in school was getting diagnosed with it. Being told to take my medicine because it really works.

So I spent a week not taking the medication and then saying I did. Got positive feedback and praise. Spent a week taking the medication and saying I didn't, got criticism and a disappointed condescending tone. The medication cost was high and a burden my family could not really afford, and since the teacher couldn't seem to tell the difference, I stopped taking the medication and received much criticism.

Directly before my ADHD diagnosis I was transferred out of a class due to extreme neglect and abuse, and the schools just chalked up my subsequent struggles to my brain being fucked up due to bad genes. When I did present an actual chronic health issue and several symptoms around the same time, given the school had the hypothesis "this child is doing badly in school because they have a health condition" you might think they would pay attention to this new evidence, but they already had their excuse so they just accused me of malingering.

I've been VERY cynical about the paediatric mental health system for a long time because there's strong conflicts of interest, I don't think the system is open to the idea of falsifying its own theories, and people aren't meaningfully measuring student outcomes after they experiment with their theories. I specifically detest how amphetamine and methylphenidate access is gate-kept until a doctor calls you "disordered", and it's treated as common ethical sense to force people to adopt an insulting label if they want access to certain medications.
No it isn't. It's a statement of objective reality. That isn't really forbidden under the news guidelines to my knowledge, although I could have expounded as the topic became more divisive so here goes:

The system is specifically designed to permit unchecked criminality. That is a fact. Lack of AML, KYC and any oversight, recourse or control that you would use to reduce malicious actor impact in the space is explicitly, intentionally removed. This allows for unchecked criminality. That's why we have the volume of ransomware we do, because in the past you couldn't send millions of dollars in Starbucks gift cards by FedEx to get your data decrypted.

Given substantially all legal use cases are served better, faster, cheaper, safer and more reliably using classical systems it's no surprise crypto self-selects for criminality.

The volatility is an objective reality. Its easily one of the most volatile assets on the market today.

I'm sure DDT salesmen would agree feel the same way if I said that DDT was 'just bad' despite its obvious and measurable negative effects on the environment, but I can't say I shed a tear when the eagles managed to emerge from their shells with all their limbs.
Indeed. It's the frequency of pixel changes causing ripples in voltage rails, subsequently causing inductors in switching voltage regulators to physically resonate at audible frequencies.

There's specific test images you can find online, designed to maximally stress voltage rails in LCDs. Lower end monitors can actually get enough voltage ripple that the image quality visibly degrades.
Out of curiosity I’d love to see any examples where you think Plotly is especially strong for scientific plotting. I’ve used Plot lots and Plotly none, but I’d guess the big Plotly advantages right now are

- rich tooltips (coming soon in Plot)

- interactive pan & zoom

- multiple panels with shared scales? (like for marginal distributions; you can combine with HTML of course, but it’s not easy/built-in in Plot)

Your statement and mine are in alignment. Metal content is changed to reduce the cost to make a coin which results in an intrinsic value lower than face value. The reason that the mint changes coin composition is that the existing composition has an intrinsic value higher than face value. The Mint counts the difference between melt and face value as revenue. If a coin is intrinsically worth more than its face value it is a loss to the Mint. So, they change the composition to be less than face value so that coin makes them revenue again.
Food is thrown away because grocery stores want to sell uniform looking produce with no blemishes, and consumers came to expect that. That is the largest reason they get sent to the landfill, with growers have been sending it there before they get shipped.

There is a lot of waste going on here because:

- Consumers turn their noses on perfectly edible food that looks ugly. (There are volunteer organizations that intercepts such food at the landfill sites, and as food prices goes up, they have become more popular)

- Consumers living in the city typically don’t have chickens, pigs, goats, or rabbits, that will happily eat any of leftovers that haven’t rotted

- Consumers typically don’t have vermicomposting, black soldier fly composting, or even just regular composting, so unless the municipality has an industrial composting site, it goes into the landfill.

I think people get too obsessed over carbon dioxide and methane metrics, and become narrow minded about such solutions … because atmospheric carbon dioxide is an easy metric to carry a call for action. It’s like that comfortable illusion I used to have that, if I put in the effort to recycle, I am doing my part. That’s all wishful thinking.

Take landfills. The problem with putting food waste into landfills is not an increase in methane (and atmospheric methane isn’t as big of a deal as say, soil depletion, soil temperature, oceanic acidification). Landfills trap the methanes produced by decomposing food waste. They need some kind of vent or capture, or the landfill will eventually explode from the accumulated methane.

But more importantly, the biggest issue is that the trapped methane in landfills is no longer bioavailable, and participating in the ecologies in the carbon cycle.
I agree; no need to downvote me.

yes, but since you haven't nailed the humor yet, the original pointer-outer should have pointed out, "Plan 9 from Userspace is a follow-on to the Plan 9 operating system from Bell Labs, which was whimsically named after the film Plan 9 From Outer Space.
