IIRC SD’s first party code had singificantly higher requirements than is possible with some of the downstream optimization most people are using, which have lower speed and more system RAM use but reduce peak VRAM use.

The architecture here looks different, but the code is licensed in a way which still makes downstream optimization and redistribution possible, so maybe there will be something there.

It's a joke even if she does report and serve.

> Holmes, 39, was expected to serve her time in at a minimum-security prison camp in Houston, Texas.

Minimum security prisons are the kind where you can leave during the day to go to work! None of that slave labor shit making license plates or filling in at McDonalds, either, like actually go to a regular job and earn money. They're called "Club Fed" for a reason.

I thought anyone with over a decade of prison time wouldn't be eligible for such white glove treatment but nope.

I thought it unlikely too. But our local utility (BC Hydro) won't allow me to use hello@<firstname><lastname>.com because their system flags it as a generic corporate email address. According to them you must use the email address of a specific person in your company (paraphrased).

But I got this error when updating my residential account.

Since when did companies get to decide what is or isn't a valid email address?
It sounds like the filing of the appeal caused the reporting date to be pushed back automatically. She is not (yet) a fugitive; she’s just pulling all the levers to delay as long as possible.

> The appeal automatically delays her reporting date, and she will now remain out of prison until a court of appeals rules on her request.
She was due to report to prison on 27th April and, according to the article, her appeal automatically cancels that.

So, no she is not a fugitive an no-one is going to arrest her, irrespective of her wealth. Nothing to see here...
My dictionary says ”industrially produced food”, i.e. frozen and ready to eat meals, snacks, confections, etc.

The issue is that the plastics and non-stick coatings leach off plasticizers and forever-chemicals which cause hormone and neurotransmitter disruption in humans, which cause obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cancer and other serious disease.
the last time i did this, it was with House, M.D., and it was with downloaded copies (to ensure correct subtitles, right?). Episode came out whatever day, a group of us would gather the next evening and watch it together. We had a blind person and two deaf people in the group.

The only thing netflix (and possibly others, i wouldn't know) have done to improve that situation is adding descriptive audio service, which brings the usefulness of good subtitles to the audio track, so that blind people can experience more of the show that they can't see.

I'm a bad anecdote for a couple of reasons, though: I haven't had a television connected to coax in any way since 2003, and i haven't liked any new television show created after about 2013 or so - furthermore, i haven't really "loved" any series that began after 2004 or 2005. A supermajority of my media (disc and disk) predates the iphone. A plurality predates America Online.

Since i'm already on an aside, i'll point out a couple of things: First, thanks to the likes of MTV's indefatigable pushing in the late 80s and through the 90s, everyone raised in that era (and after) thinks that in order to be engaging, you must change cameras every 3 seconds. Bonus points if there's no story reason to do so. Secondly, or if you prefer, as an ancillary to the first point, the constant viewpoint shifts can aggravate certain conditions; for example, new shows tend to tire me out, and a "binge" for whatever reason tends to leave me with a headache that lasts a couple of days. Third, a plurality (and majority, up to ~75%) of all television shows produced in the US are either directly or indirectly Law Enforcement related, and i'm sure a rigorous study would bear out that has a detrimental effect on both public policy and the zeitgeist feelings of law enforcement and related groups.
I’m on the team that is creating sudo-rs. I agree that just assuming that memory safety will get rid of all the bugs is just plain wrong, it will prevent some particular classes of bugs, but that is all it does.

But we do think that sudo in particular suffers from being a really old codebase, and that especially on that point we can make progress. Sudo has lots of features no longer relevant. It has a plugin interface, but that interface uses almost exclusively strings in `key=value` format, and the plugin boundaries aren’t perfect either. It has behaviors that probably almost nobody relies on and yet add complexity and increase the attack surface. If we wanted to do something about that it would mean rewriting large parts of sudo. So if we’re re-implementing sudo anyway, why not start at the basics and build it a little better.

Aside from the memory safety I think that is one of our main goals: make a simpler sudo that still has lots of the expressiveness. I hope you agree that cleaning up sudo is a good thing, and if we are doing that, we might as well take some memory safety along for the ride.

I don't think they are behind just because they have released less stuff. They had LaMDA way before ChatGPT, and they had multimodal models (both by DeepMind and by Google Brain) well before OpenAI.
Apple sells hardware and software/services, Microsoft sells primarily software and software services (surface aside). Hardware is the business of buying materials, improving them, and selling them at a premium. Software is the business of developing software, then selling it to as many people as you can. Software naturally lends itself to high margins. Hardware less so.
> It’s a gathering of souls who, for better and worse, sought out a good life and met death on an odyssey— or, to use a more accurate term, an “aeneid,” for Odysseus’ journey brings him back to where he started, whereas Aeneas, the Trojan hero and begetter of what becomes Rome, dies on his destined journey, far from the home destroyed by Odysseus’ ruse.

Huh? Aeneas doesn't die in the Aeneid.

Compositional power might mean "the image more resembles the composition you want and describe"

i.e. if you say "a red cube on a green sphere" in DeepFloyd, you will get it. If you say that in MJ, you won't. That means you have more power to compose the image you want with this tool.
That was common knowledge in 1950 bodybuilding.
Would you entertain the idea of stressing about CO2 levels being more harmful than elevated CO2?
Not exactly. With webauthn the complexity lies in frontend - you have to explain how and why users should use this and what it is, how to manage enrolments and so on. Touch ID, Windows Hello and Passkeys might simplify this but it is still more complex to explain to less technical customers than, say, Face ID on an iPhone app to remember your login.

If you want an easy all-purpose login flow, sign in by clicking a link in email is still an easy fallback.

OAuth from multiple providers also has complexity - Auth0 makes it so you have to maintain separate databases for passwords if you want to support login via OAuth and login from password. You have to link accounts to login from multiple providers.

Logins are simply hard work no matter how you slice it. Eventually they will be easy but… I’m not holding my breath. :)

Isn't it depressing, that we live in 2023 and the predominant document format is pdf, which was invented in 1993 and is optimized for printing? I would love to have a new format, which is easily parseable (like JSON) AND printable (like PDF).
And this is why there's five "log in with X" buttons on every webapp, but no "tell us your IdP and we'll send you there"; let alone any kind of magical "we'll take your email address and check the DNS record of the domain to figure out who your IdP is, and then send you there."

Not because the "figuring out who to OAuth with from DNS" part would be hard to design; but because there's no way to "autodiscover" all those implementation-dependent details of how you're supposed to talk to an OAuth IdP.

Compare/contrast: SAML. SAML binding a webapp to an arbitrary IdPs just by punching in the IdP's SAML config endpoint URL? Works perfectly.
As Robin says, visualized wind data are 100m height from surface. That's what we've selected as the most appropriate average for wind farms. GFS contains different heights that we could allow choosing from.
For the same reason you'd use 6x±1 instead of 1+2n or, more basically, n - higher check hit rate at the cost of more complex checking rules.
I'm confused why you are describing a Venn diagram where Japan is in one circle and the vaguely defined "Western liberals" are the complement.

Yes, the current administrators of Japan can set a governance policy on who it attempts to allow to go through "approved" channels. Enforcing it, and especially attempting to enforce it to prevent, what I believe would be fair to summarize your prior comments, cultural contamination, won't work for the cause I've already mentioned: synthesis of external influence.
No, it does mean you don't understand how to prompt MJ, you don't understand it's language. You might like french more but it doesn't mean that it's a better language than english. MJ even says that their model doesn't understand language like humans do in their FAQs...

To be fair, looking at how both Diablo 4 (PC/Consoles) and Diablo Immortal (Mobile) are doing today, they seem to be on the way to capture both audiences with solid products in either side.

Mobile gaming industry sucks so much, D:I is actually a good product there. It offers so much more than your regular ad-infested crap with "recharge energy" mechanics at the very least. It might be the worst compared to what is available on PC/consoles, but those are different audiences. For the more informed consumers Blizzard has Diablo 4, where they seem to restrain greed to somewhat acceptable levels.

Yes they've fumbled with their PR back then, might've made one of the worst presentations in industry history (look at Bethesda & Fallout Shelter and see it being masterfully done) and generally been incompetent in a few of their recent titles (W3: Reforged and OW2 comes first into mind), still, looking at it today, Diablo as a franchise looks like a right step than otherwise.
Sadly a lot of foundational ML research works for single-label image classification and not much else. ImageNet is a niche problem and way too much ML research is over-indexed on it. If you can make your problem look like ImageNet, you're going to do OK, but if not you effectively need to re-invent the wheel...
This isn't something exclusive to wealthy individuals. Many first-time, non-violent offenders in many states are afforded this type of prison-camp setup. I suppose it is kind of odd for such a long sentence (although just divide by half for the probable realistic sentence) but I don't think the arrangement itself is at all unusual.

If at least half of the goal of jail/prison is rehabilitation, it makes sense to me.

EDIT: Apparently the feds have an 85% time served rate so it actually will be closer to a decade served.
There’s also a lot of productive work that used to be done in the UK that the UK has no workers for anymore. I suspect in the short term this has hurt the UK’s wealth and standard of living more than anything else. Fewer doctors, nurses, vegetable pickers, butchers, cleaners, etc means that less productive work is being done in your country, and the few remaining workers to do that will now charge a lot more money since they have to take on more responsibility and have to pay more for everything for all the other workers who are also charging more money. So even as your wages go up, your standard of living doesn’t.

Food for thought for all those decrying immigration in a country with less than 5% unemployment (and especially in an industry where the people in the US commonly tout how software devs in the US are paid higher than devs anywhere else in the world).
> surface combatants are all going to end up under water very very quickly, or too far from the action to offer anything useful.

In a shooting war between the US and China, the US will try to establish air and sea dominance. That means in the first days or weeks of the war, it would keep away its vulnerable assets, such as non-stealth aircraft, or surface vessels that are not part of carrier strike groups. It would make use of stealth fighters and bombers, cruise missiles, and in the sea domain, submarines and carrier strike groups.

After dominance is established, all the other assets become very valuable.
it is amazing what rich people can get away with. if this was a Latino woman in Arizona she'd be dead by now.

edit: see my great-grandchild comment to gain a bit more info I to what I was thinking, here.
> Do rich men also historically get similar treatment? Or is gender also playing a role?

I'm sorry, but is this a serious question? Yes, of course rich men get similar treatment. Elizabeth is not being treated with kid gloves because she's a woman, it's because she's an upper-class white-collar criminal who (at least at one point in time) had connections. This is the definition of privilege.

To offer a case in point: Andy Fastow, one of the principal architects of the Enron fraud, who wiped out the retirement savings of tens of thousands of Enron employees and did only 5 years in a minimum-security prison camp as a result.
Your PS reminds me of the old ads for those Matrox 30bpp graphics cards, which ‘showed how good these cards looked’ compared with standard graphics cards. Which we watched, obviously, on a computer with a standard graphics card.

Also the TV salesman telling me that a 100Hz panel would look jerky, and showing me a video on a 200Hz screen that allegedly illustrated the difference.
> But special treatment for rich criminals? who got their wealth through the very same crime? Nah.

She's the daughter of Enron's VP, not just a random person who got rich from fraud.

But to the point about rich men: SBF is still in home arrest, and Elisabeth did nothing compared to the tens of billions of dollars of fraud concentrating in SBF's hands. It will be interesting to see what he gets.
Midjourney follows the “facing each other” better, but DF has readable text. This may be due to DF also suffering the effect that ISTR is common to MJ and SD that specifying conflicting things it understands leads to priority the “visibility” one (the specific text, in this case) over the “compositional” one (in this case, “facing each other”.)

Jeff Thomas's story deserves to be told. That said, I'm personally not in favor of the "kept" partner rhetoric, as it is sensationalizing someone's death.

The article itself is legitimate. Ideology in practice carries a blast radius. This facet is less often discussed in large public forums (i.e., the blow back associated with supporting strategies that directly, negatively impact the groups in which one is included via genetics). Instead it's swept under the rug, or "flagged for removal."

Whether or not this post disappears, I'm glad I saw it and followed the link (minus the crummy title).
I doubt any such consensus exists, but for me the number one rule is this: eat more protein. You can eat somewhat high carb diet and still be fine if you're getting enough protein.

Protein: Good, eat as much as you can

Fats: Some good (unsaturated), others less good (saturated), but mostly NBD. Eat whatever you want without regard to fat contents, but do make choices with less saturated. Your brain (aka your moods) will thank you.

Carbs: Some good, some bad. try to keep it under 35 grams per meal and 100 per day. Try to eat low glycemic/complex carbs. Avoid sugar and sugar equivalents.
"You never had this happen?" I have had a catch all email for over 3 decades and spammers practically try everything under the sun for the local part of the email address. It's like the usernames you see in the "random background ssh noise" of the internet.

On more recent decades I have seen bots even split by separator, e.g. if prefix.suffix@example.com is published online, they will try prefix@example.com and suffix@example.com.
I'm not convinced about that.

This worship of free trade we had was completely unrestricted. A lot of trade was completely decoupled from any real benefit or political or social project or any environmental concerns. If KPIs from trade and financial services are the main thing that are measured, then you will always end up with trade for trade's sake.

I couldn't find anything in that article that supports your assertion, but I only skimmed it. It does seem to imply the opposite:

> We review these purported characteristics, as well as Millennials’ more positive qualities—they work well in teams, are motivated to have an impact on their organizations, favor open and frequent communication with their supervisors, and are at ease with communication technologies.
> This reminds me of Inform 7 (where you can use "natural language" to program text adventure games)

The problem (at least, the problem I had) with Inform 7 is that it's not really natural language; it still has a strict formal grammar defining its syntax, it's just that the grammar has lots of "synonyms"; multiple syntaxes for the same thing. But it's still following strict rules, and those rules can't cover everything. This leads to situations where you write some "plain English" and it seemingly understands it, but then you write tiny variation and it throws up a syntax error.
On the flip side, software development and engineering rigor is largely absent in academics, as has been discussed previously here on HN. This is enough of an issue to make replicating research even when the code and data are provided, but it's an even bigger issue trying to turn academic code into a product.

I hope this is true. I also hope that any company bringing jobs that could be WFH into commuter-land again would STFU about climate actions. Unless their staff is walking to work, they're wasting time and stressing the environment so people can be seen rather than be effective.
I think anti-trust has been narrowed so much we've lost sight of the goal. The point of this stuff is because capitalism and democracy kind of break down when a single private entity becomes too powerful. If "anti-trust" can't apply to globe-spanning behemoths crushing all their competitors then it's a dumb thing and we should start doing something better
Well... To be fair "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", the study concluded that they couldn't prove there was a relation, but didn't proved there no such relation. In that regard, the study is inconclusive and the EU is right in not publishing it, lest the media take it to mean that piracy had no effect on sales.

I think the problem with the spec is that it’s way too large to fully implement when you only need some secure token exchange, so everyone does only the stuff they need.
