I stopped using DuckDuckGo when it introduced its email relay service. This service had (and I think still does have) the peculiar requirement that the user must install a browser extension in order to use it.

I can think of no valid reason why a (supposedly privacy-respecting) email relay service should require a browser extension to be installed.

This made me realize DuckDuckGo may not actually value privacy. I stopped trusting all of its services.

I switched from Dropbox to pCloud. They claim to offer an encryption option. I haven't studied it but it's there.
It’s a bit of a silly hack and it seems pretty stupid to be encrypting things twice. But there’s also a pretty stupid advantage which is that openssh sets pretty small limits on socket buffer sizes whereas quic (hopefully) does not, so if you are rsyncing or scping files over a long distance (and have reasonably modern cpus and crypto libraries) you’ll find things are faster. You could use hpn-ssh but then that’s potentially more configuration to do.

I think this might also come with quic advantages like tolerance for changing ip (eg if one client is mobile) though I think people have other wireguard based solutions they like for that.

The most obvious disadvantage to me is security: sometimes local connections are treated differently by sshd, eg allowed to log in as root.

This seems somewhat overblown, inasmuch as the use of proprietary, closed-source productivity applications developed in the United States is itself an a priori compromise of eFSF values.

Email is a thankless, dirty business (ask anyone that has ever done an Exchange migration), and there is no incentive for the University to necessarily use and maintain a persistent free software-based email backend. It would be a better outcome to allow students the ability to use their own, personally-chosen communication services and devices, with the caveat that this might exclude some students or faculty from accessing resources that are under the control of commercial partnerships.

Honestly, just saving people time in reading this thread. The article seems like a hit piece and I attempted to call that out. I tried to zoom out and look at the bigger picture by saying SpaceX is actually a big improvement over other companies in terms of environmental impact in that they are reusable (vs literally everyone else putting the first stage in the ocean). You said that was whataboutism. Then, I attempted to zoom out again by saying there are bigger environmental impacts outside the aerospace sector (like all the war and all the lives wasted there). Then you said that was whataboutism again and that I shot too low with my comments. Just seemed like a waste of time, probably for both of us, and provides zero value to anyone else. I wish I hadn't even read this post of attempted to comment on it. You probably see this totally different than me. That's the funny thing about all this.

For what it's worth, I guess you're right in that this is a whataboutism. You could take this line of thinking to the extreme, do I not cut my grass, in that I might kill some ants? Like, it needs to be cut. We need to get to space and there is going to be some costs. So, yeah, they killed some birds, a bobcat, and burnt some grass. It's worth it. Until now, I didn't realize my algorithm for caring about stuff was to prioritize my outrage via whataboutisms.

Hopefully, we can agree to disagree. Wish you well.

Your point of view (which I admit sounds informed, so please don’t take this the wrong way) seems to be at odds with how qualified immunity is generally discussed. Typically I’ve heard it referred to as an immunity not from damages, but from the lawsuit itself. Law.Cornell.edu seems to agree with me.

Which leaves me a little confused as to what exactly you think is false. That QI is an immunity from suit? Or that there is no fact-finding prior to a QI dismissal?

As an idiot with a PACER account I think I deserve an explanation. If I promise not to argue with you, will you please explain this a little more deeply?

It's feasible to do an alternate route to the outer solar system by using an ion engine, dropping the perihelion down below Venus's orbit and then using a Venus -> Earth gravity assist chain with the ion engine going the whole time. The downside is that this is a more lengthy process than the Grand Tour route, and you have to do all your maneuvers in the inner solar system because ion engines draw a lot of electrical power and solar panels get very weak once you get past Mars or so.

I had a similar idea to convert LLM inputs into Lisp language. I was pleased to see the paper takes this approach.

The underlying idea, though, has been done before. Basically we know that LLMs can do better if instead of solving a problem on their own, they write a program that solves it (look up PAL).
> Are all rent seeking bad by essence ?

In the actual sense of the word, it's arguable that it is.

However, this specific example is not rent-seeking behavior because the artist created the thing and its associated value.

People in this community tend to misuse "rent-seeking" to mean anything they don't believe its creator should be making money from. An example of this is, "Apple's cut of app sales is rent-seeking."
Almost like the word "market" can mean different things in different contexts. Some people define it as the place you get produce... crazy!

I don’t think I really buy this. Twitter’s thing was historically that it was the _important_ social network. If it becomes another Facebook, only 5% the size, well, why is anyone staying on that?

It can either survive largely unscathed if rather less relevant, or it can become a Musk-ier Parler, but I don’t think there’s an obvious middle ground.

Personally I think it’s probably doomed to Musk-y irrelevance, but I’d believe “it basically carries on” before I’d buy “it is a mini-Facebook”.

I’m also not convinced that whatever replaces twitter will be particularly twitter-y. There’s a world where Mastodon and/or bluesky are to Twitter as Dreamwidth is to Livejournal; a thing for people who really liked the old thing but don’t like the new owners and/or their incompetent stewardship of the platform, but not the _default_ destination for people fleeing.

Myself, I’m enjoying Mastodon, but it largely replaced the bits of old-twitter I liked. Those aren’t the bits that everyone liked. And, realistically, it’s mostly a facsimile of an _old_ twitter that was dying even before Musk brought his unique flavour of Dunning-Kruger to the party.
Emphasis on "some" since most of what was on display was manipulated, fake, coached, or just plain written for TV.

I suspect many think GPT-4 wrappers can just count on LLMs to become basic infrastructure like databases or anything else, and count on differentiating based on how they store/manage prompts to solve specific problems. Maybe they need to build some small models or machinery on top of the LLM outputs to make them truly useful, and maybe building those things isn't that easy to copy because they require domain-specific expertise (in this case law knowledge).

One of my favorite anecdotes: A German was going to show the football game at his place, but had to cancel because his beamer broke, so he sent an email to the people he invited.

An American who got the email wondered why they couldn't watch the game because the German's BMW broke down...
Implicit in that the action is about preventing someone else from making that content public.
The only game I found that was more than a brief novelty is beat Sabre. With mods for custom songs it is very replayable. Google earth, funnily enough, is my second most used game. Very good for chilling in scenic spots or wondering around foreign countries. Google spotlight stories are also very good if you didn't try them, I can see a future in vr movies very clearly while watching them. My theory as to why there isn't good games is that vr is difficult to stream, and the target market of gamers are not the kind to want to be active for extended periods.
Hey, sure, let's destroy the Earth and its inhabitants with zero regard for anything! As long as we get to take vacations to the moon! Right?

> I would love to see shader compilers merged into regular compiler toolchains

they are already using the same compiler infrastructure: pretty much every relevant shader or otherwise GPU oriented compiler out there is based on LLVM. As for the parts of the toolchains that are different: that's simply because GPUs and CPUs are inherently very different.

> so that CPU and GPU code can be easily mixed in the same source file

what advantage would it have to mix together into the same source file the code for totally different targets with totally different parallelism models? I find it cleaner and simpler (apart from maybe trivial one-liner shaders that you can embed in a string) to keep them separated. Also makes debugging much easier.
> There are virtually no new applications enabled IMO with 5G speeds vs LTE speeds/latency, assuming they are both not congested.

5G will enable the sorts of edge computing needed for stuff like facial recognition. It's fundamentally a policing/military/counterinsurgency technology being laundered as consumer tech.

"The issue is that the AI's output is deterministic"

Point a digital camera at a still scene under controlled lighting conditions and it's pretty deterministic also.

Anyway, it's easy enough to add randomness to the AI image generation process (and Midjourney does do that by default, as a matter of face), so the process need not be deterministic at all.
Has someone made a faithful representation of ssh over quic? You could use quic’s built in certificates and multiple streams of data and create something very similar to ssh. Is anyone doing that?
This is exactly correct, I'm surprised to learn there is a term for it, and it makes no sense whatsoever outside of some unsustainable attempted monopoly. This is exactly why intellectual property should not be recognized.

I guess it's different types of concerns. My feeling is that Google tries to optimize the resources of a datacenter, and the larger it is, the better things can scale. GCP Zones provide logical separation of machines for management (and network). There may be physical separation, but within a given region, GCP does not advertise this.

I think Google designs their datacenters for their own needs and expect you (a product running in their DCs) to distribute by region. Almost products at Google will be operating in multiple regions given the reach of most of our services, so DC design followed that need.

Based on GCP's docs, they still think region separate is better. Not sure why you wouldn't just do that?

If there is a catastrophic event (a large tornado hit AWS us-east-2), those buildings are pretty close to one another and both likely would be taken out, right? So you could lose multiple AZs since they are physically located so close to one another?
The problem is not finding applications. The problem is cost and safety.

In space they make sense because as you go far enough away from the sun, solar power is negligible. Since it costs a lot to launch, the cost of the RTG itself isn't such a big deal. And you only have to worry about safety for a little while.

Relying on the thermoelectric effect, they're horribly inefficient. Here on earth we have other options that are more efficient, cost less and is way safer.
Seems fun... I'm curious, why not use something like Pixijs which has mostly solved performance/graphics issues related to textfields, display chain rendering and propagating mouse events / choosing whether or not to occlude shapes under others?

It pretty much was just about fake news and trash results, actually. RT really is pure garbage, by its very intent and purpose.

I do agree that blocking RT outright was overreach and somewhat silly. However, I imagine it comes more from a gut feeling of disgust and "this is bullshit" then than some ultraelitist, "gotta protect the unwashed masses from harmful ideas that may bring the global order into question" motive that people in this thread seem to want DDG to have.

>What's your Automator handler that I can select a dynamic menu item and change those two keybinds with my arbitrary key combo?

no clue, I don't use automator, but from what I understand of applescript and automator this should be completely possible. For what it's worth I use Hammerspoon like the other commentor and it's by far the best system I've seen for any OS. Also the more people that use it the better it gets so I highly recommend it.

>Also, how is it user friendly to require users to retype the full menu taxonomy???

I mean... you're able to change any arbitrary menu item in any program that exists. That's extremely powerful. I don't really know how you would make it make it any more user friendly.

What's really too bad is how long we waited to notice all the brilliant old fuckers from the AtlasV project were turning into old dead fuckers who couldn't help anyone with anything.

It is completely understandable that the tech they developed and stupid shit they pulled (and learned from) were importantly held secrets at the time, but we just had to have a space shuttle.

The only thing that is stupid about this test are the number of times the very same problem has occurred for the other 3-dozen teams of (actual fucking) rocket scientists who've had to relearn these lessons over the last 50 years.

The rocket was always going to wind up in the ocean, and certainly the upper stage (starship) was always expected to be in many pieces when it did.
Not enough people are talking about alignment of these models.

The worst thing the Australian government has done in recent years is backflip on the onus being on them to connect you to fibre via their National Broadband Network (NBN) programme, now the onus is on the consumer to spend thousands to connect to 5G instead.

I've been doing up my mother's connection 25 mins away from a city CBD (I live in another state). I have had to purchase a $1,000 5G modem, 2x2 MIMO directional antennae, rewired the property myself with Cat6 and an old Cisco switch and waps.

I got a 22-26x increase in download off peak and 30x increase in upload (up to about 600-700mb/s off peak)

Would've been wonderful if they just gave them the fibre they promised, though

Fixed wireless 5G is definitely faster but the medium's line of sight requirement means I'd really prefer slow 250mb/s fibre to volatile 100-750mb/s 5G

I've worked out I could hit about 2.5-3gb/s if I went 4x4 MIMO with a 10m mast and aimed it perfectly (tower is 300m away) - but there's no way to control who else is connected and taking the bandwidth - so I'm not investing anymore in her property
