The film was shot and framed in 4:3 but was cropped down (for reasons unknown to me) into widescreen for the theatrical and later the Blu-ray releases.

There is a rare uncropped DVD release of it by a distributor called "IRE" out there. My understanding is that every copy of this release is autographed by the director, if you need some proof of artistic intent. AFAIK there's no definitive proof that this isn't just "open matte", but IMO the superiority of this release is pretty clear. You can find it on public torrent sites.

Could you turn this into a psql extension? If this is integrated into an actual database that can be used in production, this may have a future. Otherwise no one will touch this, and it’d be yet another useless and cute experiment from the academia.

edit: thank you for clarifying, it looks like this is not a new database engine and is a cache/query layer.

I think I read this about the original Simpsons: they were very critical of certain things, such as environmental dangers. But most people tuning in fantasize their role in protecting the environment, then go in with their lives without doing much about it.

I think this is deep in all sorts of media with a positive message - scratch the moral itch so you don't have to do it in reality.
I'm genuinely curious to find out whether anybody is surprised by this given that it's a language model that has been trained on almost all of the information and the data on the internet will beat human accuracy on tests - computers can retain memories and data a lot better than humans can and models like these simply have a lot more non-unique information than humans have consumed in their lifetimes.
Replacing a gas stove with an electric stove is much easier and less expensive in the long run than replacing water heaters and furnaces with electric versions.

Also this isn't about replacing a working stove in an existing building it's about substituting electric versions for gas versions if there are no gas lines, so I think you missed the entire context of the thread.

I keep hearing that there have been significant breakthroughs in the areas of AI / ML / LLM / Transformer Models between 2012 and present. Can summarize what the breakthroughs were, who was principally responsible, and which papers specifically?

This timeline has something like 60 papers and many papers have 8-30 authors. Are the breakthroughs spread out like that? Or are there one or two super important works? Sort of like Einstein's "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies"?
The lineage of voxel miners is quite interesting. MineCraft is obviously trailblazing, but it was preceded by a few others like Infiniminer. I would say I feel bad that early projects like those didn’t make billions from success, but there is a lot to be said about the creative gameplay in MineCraft that change it from being a simple sandbox to a really engaging world.

Presidential elections are one among many elections. And elections are one component of democracy. The NRA is a potent example of grassroots power enforcing its policy views effectively and continuously.

Its interesting that he mentioned that mentioned that the music was used in Stranger Things, season 4. Season 3 used music from Glass's opera Satyagraha, Season 4 (at least in the scene I remember) starts the Koyaaniqatsi music but subtly transitions to music from Glass's opera Akhnaten. They're both exposition scenes where the bad guy explains what he's doing or his world view.

I thought the music was particularly effective in those scenes. Clearly there is a Philip Glass fan on that show.
This doesn’t make sense to me. memcpy is typically called through the PLT anyways; all the ifunc does is change what it points at. Even if there was some extra cost here one indirect call is not that expensive?
Yeah, but that kind of marketing sucks to some extent because if they say they support A then as a consumer you don't know if they will support B now and in the future.

I think it is important to keep your that in device. I would prefer the chatgpt to work on my pc instead work on a giant companies servers. I am doing very sensitive conversations with it. There is no guarantee of this data to be kept secret by Open AI. Also corporation would want to keep their data in house. Especially it can be a huge problem if your developer can unleashed the private document with the internet.
Yes, was my first reaction too, but then my 2nd reaction...

Sorry, I miswrote. The actual issue is not that the user hasn't typed a password right, but that the user is not in the sudoers file and trying to run a sudo command.

Doing that just once is reported with an e-mail to root. (Would you believe it?) People have been complaining about this for years. It's a pretty poor feature.

If the intent is to remind root that some users are missing sudo access who ought ot have sudo access, the phrasing is all wrong: "this incident will be reported" is disciplinary language, like the user has done something wrong.

Likely they are just copying and pasting something from a web search (or got from an AI chat, nowadays).

The entirely separate su program generates no e-mails from people guessing the password wrong. You can grep your auth.log for that, if you care.

I just tried su with one bad password attempt on a Debian box. The program quit immediately and logged this:

Apr 30 2023 15:37:21 localhost su[22401]: FAILED su for root by kaz
Apr 30 2023 15:37:21 localhost su[22401]: - /dev/pts/6 kaz:root

that is the real message to root: the log. Don't bug people with e-mails.

The correct requirement of a failed sudo would be to emit a message conveying this meaning: "Sudo didn't execute your command because your account is not listed in the sudoers file. If you think you should be, contact your administrator." It should not be contacting the administrator for you.

This seems similar... a developer with no track record who can't find work, asking for funding for a speculative project instead of asking for employment, suggests a mental misalignment.

The main difference seems to be that Davis built something interesting and functional (if not profitable or practical), whereas gagoot.com seem more like Time Cube rambling.

It must be a special case of overconfidence to believe to know what a supercivilization would consider "better".

It will be harder for unions to destroy the domestic (US) tech industry than past industries, because of the low barriers to entry.

AKAIK, SteamOS 3 hasn't been released publicly, and this is SteamOS 2 which is Debian based instead of Arch
The main factors are:

Supportability

Security

Reliability

Consistency

Supportability is how much additional cost you have for solving the same tasks or problems on that platform. Tooling reduces these costs making it more supportable (if designed right), just like reducing scope reduces these costs.

Security is critical, and you can really shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you are doing, or how the software is structured when using a specific distro. I was surprised to find out dbus-activation is a relatively simple route to get any foreign binary running as root, without many hurdles; systemd has a hard dependency on dbus and dbus-activation.

Reliability is less crashes, and reduction of points of failures. This includes payed support as well. Certain distros while offering support, actually introduce many more additional points of failure in coercive schemes to monetize or collect more information. Repo packages that automatically run a script that fixes a disabled snap and installs the software via snap without notification, rollback, or acknowledgement are examples of this.
It's knowledge you get by actually working in the field rather than reading about it in reports and white papers. It has value, it's not everything, but it is important. What actually needs to be in place are independent auditors who aren't linked to the industry and can't profit from it to review the decisions of these agencies and have full access to all data, including engineers who say "yo this is a bad idea". I have been that engineer a few times with mixed results, sometimes people listen, sometimes they don't. Never on the level of the FAA/Boeing fiasco but still it does happen all the time, everyday. That's why rules to prevent fraternizing between agencies like the FAA and Boeing are important. It's a lot harder to be tough on friend/colleague than it is someone who you don't know and are auditing.

It may be in poor taste, but from a religious person’s point of view, quite a bit of the current culture in most western nations is in quite poor taste. I understand and sympathize with your objection, but I think that those called to faith (including myself) need to make peace with secularization and do as we are taught: take the road of peace at all times, accept without condoning, approach all things with open hands, provide a better example, help when help is needed, and be willing with the courage of our convictions to testify for faith when asked (and only when asked).
The proof that this argument is not the true reason why he was targeted, is that he was targeted for rape. When there is such a great discrepancy between means and meaning, it’s when motives are dishonest, couldn’t be admitted in public, and wouldn’t pass a common man’s test.
One of the things I do for a living is write documentation. I have the privilege of supporting a lot of different types of users. And within each type of user, there is variability.

For every document I write, there are always a couple people for whom my document fails. It's not because they're stupid, or because I am. It's because communication is hard, and different perspectives change how information is processed. In addition, in many cases, there's simply a different use case that my document didn't account for because I didn't think of it or run into it.

So much of the time, I need to amend documents after the fact. I may need to clarify a statement, or provide alternate instructions. Often it's a detail that I thought should be universal but wasn't. And often users will simply have done something different beforehand, or out of order, or in some way not in accordance with the intended instructions.

Therefore, if I want a user to be successful with my document, it has to be complete, and thorough, and be tested by different people. It needs to not make assumptions, and it needs to be clear and concise so it can be followed in one go.

If you start getting fancy and make 50 different documents for different steps, because "logically" that makes more sense, what you will find is the user will run into a problem that the two separate documents didn't consider when taken together. Then the user will stop and try to find someone to fix their issue.

If you don't want to be tied up in support calls your whole life, one complete document is the best solution. And if you're a user who just wants to try out some sample tutorial, one complete document is the most likely to work for you without taking up more of your time.

The YouTube video that shows you installing the IDE is superior to one that doesn't. And for pete's sake you can always skip through it.
Security through obscurity is how pretty much all cybersecurity security works on practice. There are a few publicly known primitives but organizations trusted with implementing actual security systems will go to great lengths to prevent anyone finding out which of them are used and in what way.

My experience is that just giving them written indication that you are aware of your rights, and (with specificity) that their actions are illegal, will often get them to back to off of whatever illegal thing they were doing and often even overcorrect.

Also cheaper, both in upfront cost and time, than suing (even in small claims court), and leaves suit open if you need it.

But step one in either case is knowing (or at least knowing how to research effectively when an issue comes up) what your rights are.
If you are at this level of required complexity as in those examples, you should use a proper programming language, not shell. Half those snippets fail with spaces in the wrong place, newlines, control characters, etc.

I think all such shell "magic" should come with a huge disclaimer pointing the user at better alternatives such as perl or python. And all snippets should have the necessary caveats on horribly broken and dangerous stuff such as "if this variable contains anything other than letters, your 'eval' will summon demons" in eval "hello_$var=value" and stuff...
Unfortunately, regular folks have no idea how to do proper research. Not even academic level, but merely separating out low-quality obvious misinformation.

Don't know much about your project, but it seems a long way off from producing income, if ever.

I see others have tried to help in the past with little luck, but I'll take a stab at it too, just in case: I'd focus on getting some income of any sort coming in, even of the informal employment variety. Also, go to your local social services office and apply for things like EBT. Once you have a few 100 dollars (which you might even be able to get by panhandling for a few days), go find a room for rent. If you're not picky, you can get one for $100/wk or probably even lower if you look around. Then look for more sustainable income sources. Once that's all sorted out, only then start thinking about your side project.
It had to be the appointee. The analysis was squashed at a low level by a procedural technicality, and the issue was too significant for the agency head to be uninvolved. On paper though, everyone's hands are clean.

Mimicry is enough to account for the output, but it doesn't explain how the model is so good at understanding even vague or poorly-considered prompts.

He was around 11-12 at the time. He and his brother were huge Minecraft fans (they still play all these years later), and he wanted to learn how to change the game like mods did. I worried Java would be a bit much and might get in the way of him just trying some simple things out, and Lua seemed much simpler and approachable for me to help him with. He was also a big superhero fan, so his first 3 modifications were to give himself superpowers. We added the ability to fly like Superman, run fast like the Flash, and jump huge distances like the Hulk. His favorite moment was when he activated the speedforce() and hulk_jump() together and realized he didn’t even need to fly because the speed-running and massive jump moved him further across the map at a faster rate of speed than his superman() function did. :)
> if Microsoft ever ruins Minecraft somehow

Honestly I haven't touched Minecraft since Microsoft started enforcing "you have to have a Microsoft account". It's not ruining the game per se, and it's not an overwhelmingly burdensome thing, it has just raised the activation energy of getting back into the game enough that I haven't summoned the will yet.

The gear has indeed gotten cheaper, but you need to

- record one or more sounds

- have extensive knowledge about filters, mixing, mastering

Without the latter, even if you're amazing musician/singer and you have decent gear and a nice interace and good ideas, you still need to sit down and mix the thing so that it sounds good in the car/airpods/phone/laptop.

Well then time to find new theories to test. GPTs are great but clearly dont have a model of the world, self, or others because they have not been engineered in. It's probably going to take a lot of additional subsystems until this thing gets self-reflective. The hypothesis that, by scaling the giant clockwork, these things will magically emerge is .. magical and unproven.
