I agree that it's deliberate, and I extend that to any sort of mining - after all it comes from the stance of misinformed "environmentalists" not being able to tell the difference because any of that type of action is bad
If you have kids, particularly several, the weekend is usually completely packed with activities and obligations. I know can’t ever get any shopping done over the weekend.
Question for you in particular since you are an author who I read and enjoy (and pay): Would you continue writing novels if you got UBI of equivalent size and weren't allowed to charge for your books?

> If you have a datum that can be used to identify a specific person out of any arbitrary set of people then that datum is personal information.

Exactly. Content that doesn’t identify a natural person isn’t personal information. I don’t think we disagree on this. Conversely any content that can be used to identify a natural person is personal data. If I post “Jack Dorsey is a really cool dude” that’s not personally identifiable information. If I post “I am Lucas Nicodemus and I believe Jack Dorsey is a really cool dude” it is. Similarly, if I post “my unique ID in some system is X and I am a cool dude” it’s also personal information.

Indeed. On the front end side, there are many scaffolding steps required to even display a simple web page. Certainly all of those inner components and their functions could be subbed out with different appearance or different data using an LLM.

Today, that process is easier than ever but still very manual.

It’s been used and operated safely for hundreds of years in cities on the East Coast. The idea that it’s dangerous is simply FUD to scare people into spending $1000 on a future piece of e-waste to cook their food.
I have some friends who aren't comfortable with any out-of-home food expenses. They exclusively cook at home.
It is hard to link an empty profile to anything.

Mr. Internet: Vint Cerf
The investigation in the video shows that on a number AM5 motherboards many of these protections don't work properly to the point of the motherboard creating a literal puddle of molten silicon inside the CPU. In addition the firmware of many AM5 boards is buggy and sets incorrect voltages for the system, for example certain ASUS boards set the SoC voltage way too high (1.4x V instead of 1.0 V). That seems to cause excessive power dissipation in some cases but can also end up triggering what seems to be a latchup (which would almost assuredly kill the CPU anyway, but is not supposed to start a fire).

I noticed the same problem with my heat pump. It was cycling every 5 minutes when we first moved in. I replaced the thermostat with one that supports Zigbee, with plans to drive the setpoint up and down using a second level controller in order to reduce this behavior.

Actually, the new thermostat entirely solved the problem, by allowing a 2°F deadband instead of the 0.5° that the previous thermostat used. Now it will run roughly once an hour instead of ~12 times. This is not as good as your solution, but considerably better than it was.

I still use the Zigbee control to ramp the thermostat up and down at morning and night less aggressively than a native schedule on the thermostat, but it isn't truly necessary.
on one hand: no, nobody wants to outlaw private home ownership aside from tankies, and everybody hates tankies.

On the other, that'd probably make Wyoming a kickass place to live in.
Yes, but the subtleties in games other than chess or go typically don’t impact the game hours later.

For example, understanding why the placement of a piece on move 12 can have serious repercussions on move 42 doesn’t really translate to other games.
i think the word "nationalism" is maybe difficult because it all depends what you call a nation. You seem to think Europe is a nation for example.

Instead of thinking like this, maybe we should see how many borders are added or made less permeable. Brexit added stronger borders to 27 other countries. EU made borders between 28 (now 27) countries more permeable / less hard.

From that point of view I would say Brexit is more nationalist (more "borders-loving") than EU, clearly.
Meta is still a 600B company and large credit goes to Zukerberg. His insight into jumping to mobile at the very beginning, making critical acquisitions, relentlessly going to new geographies, investment in AI all played off. Every major company made mistake including Google ( Google Plus ), Microsoft ( Windows phone ) and apple ( entire 90s ). A company making mistake just means they are still taking risks and not sailing to oblivion.
Moreover we still don't know how entire VR game will play off given the technical arc. Just one or two cycle hardware innovation may make VR successful.
I used to work construction with one of those big old radios covered in paint that has been dropped 1000 times--we got around to using an FM transmitter dangling off the phone for it. It was fun + charming, since then I've thought about getting a big radio setup and hard-wiring Bluetooth in but your setup sounds truer to the concept.

I don't follow how my argument is that any "safe" money is bad. You seem to be taking my argument to the absurd? Of course I don't want to make it so that nobody has safe assets anywhere.

You could be arguing that having the money spread out is not its own good? But, I have specifically posited that having the money spread out among many banks is a good, in itself. What is the number? No clue. Is it guaranteed that having it in several places is better than having it in one? Not really, but the odds of any one bank doing great things with the money seems lower than the odds of any of several banks doing good things with it.

So, yeah, what part are you not following?

Bad analogy. It literally applies to the article itself.

The left: Mailers are really just another way to render a view

The right, having a meltdown over "just" and "simply": Remove "just" and "simply" else it will ruin my flow of thought and is "jolting" to read. It comes off as "condescending", is "upsetting" and "annoying"; removing "it doesn't put people off".

> Why does this happen? Why are you so insecure that suggesting a way for documentation to be made clearer makes you conjour up a fantasy about an imaginary group of people who can't learn Russian so that proves they're inferior to you?

No where did I say anyone is inferior to me? I said some are snowflakes and get offended by the most random thing imaginable and there is no obligation to cater to everyone's whims and fancies. Who would have thought words like "just" or "simply" can offend anyone? But here we are discussing if words like "easy, painless, straightforward, trivial, simple and just" offend people or not.

Also, the "imaginary group of people" are the ones we never hear about. We only hear about the successful ones who toiled their way to become what they wanted to become without whining about everything along the way. My limited point is: if you really want to whine, there are much better things to whine about than language/tone of innocuous words in the documentation.
What are you talking about? He is refuting the doomsday claims that the entire reef was dead. He is pointing to its regenerative capacity after mass bleaching events. He never claimed it had completely recovered.

A couple of points:

-Over the past 36 years of monitoring by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), coral reefs in the GBR have shown an ability to begin recovery after disturbances.

-In 2022, widespread recovery has led to the highest coral cover recorded by the LTMP in the Northern and Central GBR, largely due to increases in the fast-growing Acropora corals, which are the dominant group of corals on the GBR and have been largely responsible previous changes in hard coral cover.
That's an interesting problem. Is this the case for all aarch64 platforms or is this specific to Apple's hardware?

This contempt is the flip side of the freedoms granted by the constitution. The government is not allowed to enforce certain behaviors. That social control is left to the public itself.

My 2nd gen RX-7s were a joy to own and not at all difficult to maintain. They lack all creature comforts and practicality, they are loud, not fuel efficient but a lot of fun to drive. The RX-8 is much more refined and actually quite practical except for the even worse fuel efficiency - 16-18mpg just doesn't make sense when my Hyundai gets 45-52mpg.

And let me take the opportunity to diss the failure that is mixing your styles into your layout with Tailwind and it's endless and illegible bloat of unreadable html.

Reading the bloated HTML is less painful than dealing with all the cascading crap.
I find the intuition extremely helpful - without the intuition, it's hard to build a gut feeling for the interrelation and relative importance of the bits in the jargon soup for any given question - apijove vs ascending node, and so on.

What works best is therefore a combination of the two: I have often found myself digging into the math when I want to get something /really working/ in KSP. You start the game by trying to keep the burning end pointing down (and eventually sideways), but the Rocket Equation forces us learn about Hohmann Transfers if we want to get anywhere interesting. (And maybe even get back again.)

Notably, it's the /constraints/ that create the need to optimize, which push us from playing back to the math. The sibling commenter who doesn't like dealing with fuel misses the point: Caring about fuel pushes us to find the mathematical tools to solve our problems.

Compare to Outer Wilds, which has a really fun physics simulation - you can whip around planets like a madman - but there's no real constraints on fuel, and the solar system is small enough that speed isn't really a problem, either. No constraints means no one ever has to figure out a Hohmann transfer.
> in addition to the percentage of takeout still being higher than pre-pandemic.

There's an interesting game theory problem here.

At least in my area, higher-end restaurants didn't offer takeout pre-pandemic. If you wanted to eat their food you had to go sit at their table.

But having started offering takeout during the pandemic, it's hard for any one restaurant to stop offering takeout and risk losing business to competitors that continue to offer takeout.
No offense taken. Appreciate your input.
The Practical Guides for Large Language Models
Show HN: EVA – AI-Relational Database System
Hi friends,

We are building EVA, an AI-Relational database system with first-class support for deep learning models. Our goal with EVA is to create a platform that supports AI-powered multi-modal database applications operating on structured (tables, feature vectors, etc.) and unstructured data (videos, podcasts, pdf, etc.) with deep learning models. EVA comes with a wide range of models for analyzing unstructured data, including models for object detection, OCR, text summarization, audio speech recognition, and more.

The key feature of EVA is its AI-centric query optimizer. This optimizer is designed to speed up AI-powered applications using a collection of optimizations inspired by relational database systems. Two of the most important optimizations are:

+ Caching: EVA automatically reuses previous query results (e.g., inference results), eliminating redundant computation and saving you money on inference.

+ Predicate Reordering: EVA optimizes the order in which query predicates are evaluated (e.g., running faster, more selective deep learning models first), leading to faster queries.

Besides saving money spent on inference, EVA also makes it easier to write SQL queries to set up multi-modal AI pipelines. With EVA, you can quickly integrate your AI models into the database system and seamlessly query structured and unstructured data.

We are constantly working on improving EVA and would love to hear your feedback!
The AI effect has been around as AI has. Once we accomplish something it is no longer AI.

To be fair the planned 3Q23 artificial recession produced by the fed is fairly well known and the proactive layoffs just in case are reverberating through tech.
Part that I dont understand, whenever new tech comes up why affected dont use it at their own advantage. Why don't creators don't use it to create their own (better) summarization (for example as a short video), and work with (new) aggregators?

Do you think that AI summarization is better than your own, of your own video? If there is a value in summarized version, create it and leverage it.

Same at Apple (and same term) when they were flying high after the iPhone success.

Apple began that insane period though (perhaps beginning around 2001 or so with the iPod introduction) after having wandered in the desert for half a decade, having nearly gone out of business.

In hindsight the circling-the-drain of the late 90's was a good experience for Apple — gave them focus, clarity. Or perhaps that was just due to Jobs returning and bringing his own focus and clarity to the company.

Regardless, Facebook has only seen up, up, up.

Perhaps all tech companies need a bit of sobering (sobriety?) to pull them back to reality.
I think you are conflating style and genre. Within a genre and sub-genre an artist carves their niche with their personal style. They have “a sound”, or at least the very good ones so. And they are able to develop their sound until they exhaust it. They can keep working it (The Ramones for example) or identify they have exhausted it and evolve their style.

Metallica is a good example of this. They started in a sub-genre of Rock named Metal and pioneered a sub-genre of that called “Thrash”. There were other thrash bands and they each had their distinct style of thrash. Metallica developed their style over the 1980’s and by their 4th album had determined they had exhausted their style as it got to the ultimate, complex expression of it. They could continue seeing minimal returns by pumping out the same thing or try and evolve their style.

They evolved their style out of the Thrash genre and possibly out of the Metal genre and had their most successful album in terms of listeners. A huge risk really.

They kept developing this style for the next decade. And then as you pointed out, life happens (addiction, money, fame, etc in their case) and they released a total dud.

They’ve since cultivated yet another style they’ve been developing since 2008. Firmly back in the metal genre.

Point being the “good” thrash metal bands were all playing in the same genre but they each had distinct styles. So although one band exhausts their style, other bands can continue to cultivate theirs and new bands can introduce new styles and even create sub-genres.

Me neither.

I lot of these ideas seem to come from SICP which originated at MIT, from earlier research at the AI lab and at Xerox PARC.
Lucky you to have encountered a scummy landlord smart enough not to want to waste his time in small claims court. Mine showed up there with a lawyer, of all things, and tried to argue that the ceiling fan falling out of the ceiling onto us while we were sleeping, the 15-year-old dishwasher flooding the kitchen, and a microwave button being broken were all worth $1000 or so in deductions.
You're probably right and as a sibling comment noted a lot of restaurants are short-staffed which has to make service worse on average.

At the margins, also, people don't just automatically reset to all their previous behaviors. There's probably at least some subset of people who are like (to your example), "You know? Making brunch at home during the pandemic was really not a big deal. Why am I spending all that money to wait for a table at a crowded restaurant again?"

ADDED: While there's something to be said for sitting at a table on a nice weekend morning and watching the world walk by in the city, throwing together a brunch at home is probably one of the easier and cheaper meals you can do.
Do you tip for takeout (without delivery)?
Also rent. Up and up and up.
Mistakes happen, the bigger you are the bigger your mistakes. It’s a good reminder that we are all mortals here. Frankly based on how addicted almost everyone is to their cell phones and social media it was the natural move to make, I think meta fumbled the execution or was just too premature. AI is a great pivot. I think they will be fine.
It's never been less true. Humans have never been more capable of coherent action, and this fact has not been lost on the sociopathic no-upper-limit-to-greed manipulator types who've done well in this nascient internet with its aging, nostalgic noobs. The modern zeitgeist is dominated by the heat from a thousand battles happening in the info-sphere, fought by PR mercenaries and state-sponsored labs duking it out. They must win their battle because that is what they are paid to do, and saying the word "externality" is a good way to get fired.

But. If we can act coherently on one way, we can do so in another, and I take great hope in that fact.
