Are they really doing any of those things? Looking at their Twitter, it is mostly retweets of giveaways. Seems pretty spammy and low quality.

There is a difference between leadership and management. Leaders do the right thing. Managers do the thing right.

Leaders are very rare, especially in corporate.

I have to admit, at 40 a raison dêtre is still escaping from my grasp, even with family, work and hobbies.

Not sure if I'm going to find one for my whole life but whatever.
Too bad so many older car forum posts are useless outside of their text now.

Everywhere you go its just large swaths of photobucket/cardomain embed failures for the forums that didn't do image hosting.
Yes. But as treatment goes on and there is a lack of change / progress why wouldn't the insurance companies look for ways to save? They have the data. There are millions of patients and doctors, etc.
It can be converted, and can be fairly fast, see Tensorflow.js or https://jott.live/markdown/m1_webgpu_perf. However the any “web” standard will always be a subset of what the hardware can truly provide because it has to support ALL GPU vendors. For example leveraging Nvidia Tensor Cores or Apple’s neural accelerator is not possible. For ML training and inference this means that any webGPU implementation is at least ~3x slower (likely much more) vs an optimized CUDA implementation.
They banned it for sites that are hosted in the EU I guess, but that isn't most sites so...not in practice.
I'm pointing out that the world operates pragmatically and things in practice matter, not only rigid dictionary definitions of terms. There is a difference between something meeting a literal definition and meeting that definition in practice. Does litigating the semantics matter for those who are affected by government policies created for religious reasons? No? Okay, well, then my point stands.
"Legitimate interest" is not a common expression, but a term of law related to data processing and defined under GDPR:

> “[where] processing is necessary for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.”

https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/key-concepts/legitimat...

As I read it, a CDN does not further any interest of the hoster by processing user data, so it should not be used.

> doesn't sound very freedom-like

GDPR was not made for freedom, but privacy. If anything, it's for "freedom from", at the expense of "freedom to".
> Theyre just skimming middle man between the government and end consumer.

You're thinking of the "federal reserve" as "the government." This is a tempting but extremely flawed point of view.

> If youre in trouble with the irs or the law, the government will have all the insight they request.

These institutions make mistakes. They're also not immune to corruption or politics themselves. Government agents have qualified immunity. Do you really want to bank with someone you essentially cannot sue?

> I know the interest rate should be set by banks and not the politicians, but yeah, is that really it?

Rates should be set by the _market_. Which would be easier if currency were backed by anything other than _fiat_. You are in a tarpit, going further down is not the secret way out.

> neutral like the irs

What makes you think the IRS is "neutral?" Or presuming that's true, given this new responsibility, how are they capable of maintaining it?

Finally.. wouldn't something simpler, like just reimplementing Glass Steagall be the better idea? Let's make "consumer banks" and "investment banks" different and separately regulated again.
Firefox has almost imperceptible jank, but it is there if you squint.

Since forever I have a test that firefox always fails at: on first load, or if you haven't right clicked in a while, the context menu takes a perceptible amount of time to show up fully, and within this very short amount of time, you can visually see the menu options cascade out as the CSS engine finishes laying out and rendering the context menu.

This kind of jank still happens on latest firefox. It's little things like this that make it feel unpolished.

I never observe this behaviour on Chrome.
I don't know where you got the impression that google fonts was "automatically banned".

> Why wouldn't a "agreement" already be in place by the mere fact that those URLs are open to the entire world on purpose?

What does that even mean?
I hate to tell ya, but most lawyers will be using GPT in the near future, if not already.
Huh, that didn't show up in my searches at all.
Legalweb, one of the sources i referenced, doesn't seem to agree, and is recommending removing JSdelivr completely.
For someone who used to drive everywhere, it may be a "gateway drug" to more walking.
for implicit it is reverse-geocoded from your IP address

for explicit it is using device GPS and/or cell tower

either you are not actually connected to the VPN or the website is storing your consent to access GPS coordinates. I'm not sure which is scarier

to test the former go to a few different websites that tell you your IP address

for the latter, fully clear your browser's cookies and cache and retry. does it ask to access fine location?

another reason could be that you are logged in to e.g. google who already knows where you are based on historic searches, nearby wifi and bluetooth devices, etc.
Wonder how this compares to Nim.
Fully automated profiling, deciding, and then advertising to as many people as possible whether you are a scammer or if a review you left is genuine. And the only method through which you can discover that you are the victim of of a false accusation is to use this product to actively and manually monitor your own content.

Both freedom of expression and automated decision-making are already quite heavily regulated in the EU today with even more and tighter rules currently the way[1]. These new regulations also happen to extensively cover the combating of fake and illegal content by online platforms.

Additionally this seems contrary to Mozilla's claim[2] of commitment to human dignity, individual expression, accountability, and most of all: trust.

Strange thing to be investing in for any other reason than to make it disappear, which I don't think is the plan. Money would have been better spent elsewhere... or anywhere else, really.

Reddits value isnt in their code or API. Its in their userbase.

Reddit used to be completely opensource. As in you could clone reddit and deploy it for your own use back in the day. But it made no sense to do so other than research since the content, which is all user generated, is whats in the value.
You can't just hand wave "you've been breaking the rules badly". I haven't done anything of the sort, you know me I can break the rules as I have in the past and stopped doing.

I am expressing myself and sometimes I use sarcasm or reductio ad absurdum and people don't understand. By time they have flagged and downvoted it is too late to edit and give context.

The end result is... they downvote me and no one reads it. The system works. I really don't know what you are talking about, but this wouldn't be my first misunderstanding. Thanks for listening but thread has turned into a waste of people meta-analyzing the comments and it's not worth our time. Life is too short.

My suggetion to you: whoever flagged my comment is wasting your time and should be punished for pearl clutching.
I wish this was open to remote at least within California if not further out!
As Film and TV Writers Strike, Will Viewers Notice?
I wonder if LLMs are at the point where reprompting the LLM with a very similar error message to what you would output to a human from a user-friendly JSON processing tool for the error would usually be a good way to fix errors.
So many people in this thread want a narrow bank and so few of them have treasurydirect accounts. It makes me wonder if maybe I’m the one who is missing something?
I agree, additionally from the POV that sensory attention is de facto focus-stealing wrt other functionalities. General or anecdotal benefits aside, it typically taxes other systems of attention very heavily.

It's also shortsighted to nail ourselves to the cross of "yep, always gonna be exercise, that's just what it takes" when that potentially isn't necessary, and even worse, may prevent huge steps forward in use of human potential.

Add to this the many cases in which exercise is not feasible or safe...

(GPT mentions the work of Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky but I'm not familiar)
Not necessarily. "/foo/" and "/foo" are different URLs. In my view HN is wrong to add the trailing slash (if indeed it does do that). I guess it is an effort towards deduplication.

So it has started already.
So there's a show called leverage in which the idea of generating fake news sites and fake discussion is an important plot element in many episodes for pulling a con on a mark.

I've even thought about spinning up a couple of fake news websites myself and populating them with news that I specifically want to push false events or create things that never existed.

The way I look at it is you need 2-4 fake news websites, 1-2 fake university websites, and then you can get yourself a Wikipedia article, then a facebook and Twitter account, then for all intents and purposes as far as most people know you've created an entire fake town. Then you can make up whatever fake.nwws or outrage you want for your fake town.

The only hard part up until now is producing enough other content to make it stand up to scrutiny, but now with GPT it will be trivial to do so.

How long before our news feeds will be filled with fake tragedies that never happened? I can even deepfake news reporters and footage of the event.

To illustrate my point how many people even knew east Palestine existed until the train got derailed.

What if next week a train gets derailed delivering nuclear waste causing widespread scarring and death in Sesquhoya Wisconsin, complete with news coverage by the local Sesquhoya news channel and victims testimonials. But Sesquhoya never existed, how will that influence discourse and the reliability of the internet?

If anyone is interested in discussing the idea more feel free to reach out to me.
Ouch. That’s a lot
Edtech Chegg tumbles as ChatGPT threat prompts revenue warning
This article is really shallowly and poorly-written, like one of those cheap "pop science" magazines. I wish Computer Science wasn't affected by this sort of bottom-of-the-barrel journalism.

The author embellishes, makes sweeping inaccurate statements (that users only care about price and buying the cheapest product? that's patently untrue in any field), and dismisses technical excellence (like strong static typing) as meaningless. Terrible.

In my opinion, LWN is the gold standard of good technical journalism (on fairly-advanced topics, like operating system).

Hope more folk emulate LWN.
What did you do for exercise? Do you mind me asking what your chemo was? Was it mutation-specific?

Good luck with the surgery!
They absolutely shouldn’t “take the loss on this one”, what kind of an asinine comment is that?

OP performed labor at an agreed-upon rate. The hypothetical broke and failed founder should “take the loss”, even if it requires taking on further financial burdens.

Externalized risk is one of the most rampant and harmful moral hazards of this age.
I thought it was nothing but photos because there was no motion while scrolling. Had scrolled through several pages before I stopped long enough for any motion to be apparent. Not sure if that can be fixed/optimized.

I think you can sit all day on a shitty chair as long as you do some strenght training to ensure your spine is sufficiently stabilised. Only time I got some back aches was during Covid when the gyms were closed for half a year.
I gave an example, I did not "reason from a specific case".

The point is not that your organization gets "tainted" by Alexander's actions. You must answer for your own sins, whoever your leader is.

The point is that he was always that sort of person, and that's the sort of people who become your leaders. Yes, it's a problem that completely amoral people get high positions in business too, but Amazon board members are not quite as powerful as NSA chiefs - among other things, because Amazon is not as good at convincing its workers to identify with it, like you identify with your mil-int employers.
The one where they can insulate themselves from said cyberpunk bedlam by fleeing to the 'burbs (or forcing the poors out instead via gentrification), building gated communities/complexes, hiring private security, receiving preferential treatment from law enforcement, etc. That worked for a century-ish, but it was never sustainable - and the landed class has a vested interest in doubling-down on that strategy instead of admitting that maybe - just maybe - private exclusive ownership of a natural resource with inelastic supply might be the primary driver of socioeconomic inequality (and with it, crime).
That's not quite my point... my point is they should definitely focus on Firefox. They should probably go back towards doing it in a way that using their rendering engine and JS engine in other products is easier in terms of embedding. And that adjacent products should lend themselves towards those resources being re-utilized or grown organically.

Two decades ago, Thunderbird was in the single best position to provide an alternative to Outlook. Now, not so much. If they'd had the foresight to do that two+ decades ago, they could be in a similar position to Google Docs or O365 today in terms of revenue generation.

They're a bit behind at this point on what people even like in a browser. They should focus on the core technology. I think dropping Servo and the Rust efforts was probably a misstep and burning cash on marketing and buying out unrelated companies altogether doesn't help.

edit: Also, Thunderbird doesn't HAVE to be just a desktop email client. If blackberry had developed email clients for iOS and Android early on, they would still be relevant today.
Because it doesn't really "protect privacy" and it legitimizes and institutionalizes advertiser tracking (albeit at a more controllable level).
I'm excited by the idea of WASM being 'the thing' because it basically boils down to passing raw executables around, and running them in trusted contexts. It's the ultimate end to the cycle of removing all operating systems.
Your first link is an obvious PR piece to stave off customers' panic.
Do I have any legal avenues to recoup these missed payments?

Absolutely. You can write the first 1-2 "demand letters" yourself (look up the term for easily findable guidance on how to do this). In particular you can remind them as to which legal codes apply in your state and what they say about default payment terms.

Be sure to put in a firm deadline ("within 15/30 days") - no need to include additional threats of what you'll do after that point. Just be clear about the deadline.

And in the meantime find yourself a lawyer to start firing off more formal-sounding letters (likely costing 250-400 a pop) + to provide guidance on what to do after that. You'l have to dip into your pocket a bit, but that's the cost of doing business.
Here's one that gets me: what's the sign of infinity?

What do I mean? 1/d retains the sign of d across all finite and infinitesimal values.

1/ε = +∞, 1/-ε = -∞

So what about 1/0? Neutral infinity.
You should try disagreeing without personal attacks.
Is the internet even functional for browsers that don’t load 3rd party content? Isn’t that basically the modus operandi of the whole internet?
I've read that unions used to build affordable housing with the union members retirement funds, but a law was passed (maybe Taft–Hartley?) that said they had to focus on returns only, rather than consider any other benefits. So, unions don't build affordable housing any more.

They don't tend to work super well. Check the GitHub issues for each of them and they all struggle to keep up.
Seen a lot of things trying to do this by pressure testing the outputs, but all feel like anti-patterns. This is the first that seems like the "right" way to do it. Better to manage how the model is generating vs creating one more potentially faulty "glue" layer.
it's interesting how the biggest defenders of "democracy" always have a problem when democracy is used to implement something they dont like.
The absurdity of referring to the stress tests and then refusing to understand what's in them is on you.

You call it a "violent" reaction and talk about my "faith based" reality. Yet I'm the one who just read the stress tests and linked them here. I'm living in I-read-the-actual-stress-tests reality. You're not. So whose reality is faith based? And if there was anything violent about my reaction, it's to your arrogant, "Funny that you..." comment. Watch your tone.

Anyone with critical thinking skills who reads this exchange: seriously, go read the stress tests, look at the interest rates, and compare them to what interest rates currently are. The only reasonable conclusion is that the stress tests would not have prepared these banks in any meaningful way for what ended up happening.

Of course, none of this even means that regulations are bad, or that Trump-era rollback of regulations was good. It just means the existing regulations were inadequate anyway. And acting like the stress tests would have prevented anything is a disingenuous or ignorant position. In your case, it's ignorance.
It's being explicitly sold to employees as a way to build wealth. Steve Ferguson, chairman of the board of Cook Group, the parent company of Cook Medical, said "And people don't build wealth living in apartments."

Seems like the guy who approved this project thinks its supposed to be an investment!
Biology is complicated. If we start digging for mechanistic underpinnings, we'll uncover thousands of genes, variants, expression levels, metabolic pathways, epigenetic factors, etc etc etc. None of which will result in a cure-all pill or method to replace exercise and all its benefits. Just not gonna happen unfortunately
More and more frontend frameworks are now somewhat mandating a server part. I know pretty much all(sveltekit, nextjs) say you can do static export, but docs are more focused to use with a server. IMO it appears like this is being pushed by cloud vendors sponsoring those projects.

If you want to build a plain old SPA, the new react docs pretty much have no info. Sveltekit docs discourages it. I have not looked much into vue, but it appears like vue does better here.

Qwik while has a static export, looks like you lose all the good parts of you don’t use a server.

I can certainly see the SEO and other good thing that comes with SSR but not everyone needs it.
There are lots of legends of this sort.

How the Hawaiian islands were “created”. How the Japanese archipelago came to be…

All quite unrealistic even more so than children raised by wolves, but people repeat it as a suspended belief and mystic flair without literally believing them.
Where can I find out about "software baked into the display" vendors, people to talk to? I've long been musing about resurrecting the drafting table for architecture.
On Modal.com these 34 lines of code is all you need to serverlessly run BERT text generation inference on an A10G (which has 24GB of GPU memory). No Dockerfile, no YAML, no Terraform or AWS Cloudformation. Just these 34 lines.

The thing that private banks are supposed to do is compete on accurately assessing and pricing risk (for lending). The better they do at this, the lower the rates they can offer on loans - more demand for loans - and higher returns they can offer to depositors - more supply for lending - with higher profits for themselves. They compete on this spread in a market.

I do not think the government would be good at doing this at all. Assessing risk is very hard, and the competition is necessary for it to benefit consumers. Politicians could pass extremely harmful or stupid policies for populist purposes.

That said, because banks have an oligopoly on “give me a place to digitally hold money” and in practice more money than they could ever really productively lend (why do you think interest rates have been trending down so low historically?), they’re not doing a great job at either side.

That’s why I think the government should implement only narrow banking where they don’t lend, just manage the table of accounts and amounts, and let banks compete against that for deposits. You would still move money to a bank for yield, provided it’s good enough, and banks would still be able to lend and stimulate the economy. Yes they’d have less capital and be able to lend less, which may require structurally higher rates (which may actually be a good thing in the long run- a lot of lending and low rates are just going towards bidding up fixed assets like land or leveraged stocks, and not actual economic activity) but that would balance out with higher yields on deposits.
Genuinely curious: how is hosting everything on Cloudflare any better?
This is such a visceral "oh no" for so many people that I've seen part of the rising tension of multiple horror movies, including one released this year, be either revealing or highlighting that an employee will be sleeping on employer-owned property, which the viewer is expected to implicitly understand to be dangerous. Which, in the horror tradition, goes back to gothic horror—Dracula, the live-in governess, that kind of thing. It's a well-trod trope that this situation makes one vulnerable.

Now, none of this (and even my original post) means it's necessarily a bad idea—but that, the actual history and the way we read that situation in fiction, is why people are inclined to immediately have a bad reaction to such a plan.
interesting, something i never considered could be/should be done.

Would be a game changer. next big medical invention?
Oh, no argument from me there, I’m just pointing out that you kinda need TPM to make your DRM not trivially bypassable.

I imagine that the MPAA et. al. are planning to attack the splitter thingy one day, so they’ll want to make sure you can’t slurp the frame buffer when that avenue is gone.
