Sometimes it's not just about getting rid of an annoyance. I've stuck to my guns with ad blocking to protect myself from malicious ad content. In terms of content creators getting paid, I pay for a Youtube Premium subscription to help with that (which, it's my understanding content creators get paid MORE by Youtube Premium views than ad supported views).
The US won't have the tech in 10 years either if current levels of political tribalism continue.

Seems that a lot of people want to see Elon destroyed over Twitter/politics. See the incredibly negative reaction to the Starship launch attempt compared to the much more positive reaction to previous test flights that ended with a boom.

And if they destroy our current best hope for the future of space exploration in the process of going after Elon, they don't care, it's 'a win for the environment', or acceptable collateral damage to take down an 'evil multibillionaire'

(Maybe Elon should even consider stepping away from SpaceX? - but then projects as ambitious/risky as Starship would likely be dropped)
Those two databases rely heavily on Java libraries, libraries that would make no sense and be impractical to implement in Clojure.
Yeah, you (as in the US) should do that, and please take every US soldier in europe with you. We (as in central europe) either have nuclear weapons (France, Britain) or could easily build them (Germany)

This is what happens when someone is ten years ahead of everyone else in development. And, to make it worse, when, during those ten years, everyone ridiculed what they were doing.

In some ways this is exactly what "The Innovator's Dilemma" is about, isn't it?

Would it make sense for SpaceX to become like Boeing and sell/lease reusable rockets to others? Elon was well-known for always using the reusable airliner argument when explaining why reusable rockets were important.
I didn't know about https://open-vsx.org/. Very nice! But besides those languages, they are also missing things like the remote ssh extension, which is a big deal breaker for me (and I assume many others regardless of language).

Modula-2 compilers were slow to appear on many important architectures, and again there were various divergent dialects, and the whole shebang seemed to get semi-abandoned when Wirth et. al. shifted yet again to Oberon; lather, rinse, repeat.

This study would be a lot more credible if they asked about cell phone use on follow up and then differenced everyone against their prior reporting, to determine if *changes* in cell phone use (and other control factors that might change over time) increased risk of hypertension. Still not perfect because of the long time lag to follow up, but much better. Either they didn’t know to do this or they did but then didn’t find the desired results… either way, not a good look.

This is a fine that the EU can issue but why would the local business care?

If I was issued a fine by the US, China, India or Japan it would directly go to the trashbin. It is their law, and their problem, not mine.

If your security posture is mostly filled with current best practices then AI hacks aren't anymore scary than regular hacks.

Phishing is by far the number one way we have been hacked in the past. Education, MFA and soon passwordless logins are the best way to prevent phishing. If your CEO calls you and asks for your network credentials, DON'T DO IT!!! It doesn't matter that it sounds a lot like them.

For personal use devices, we are are already required to install some "endpoint protection" app if we want to access company resources. I don't do it simply so I don't have to and I get to say I don't have access to email outside of work hours.

AI hacks are not any more sophisticated than regular hacks; it's more like the level of technical sophistication has been lowered to make use of them. This is constantly happening anyway, as hacks are integrated into commodity pen testing frameworks.

Have to pay for maintenance of the building somehow. When you own a detached house, you usually pay for that out of pocket.

With shared ownership models, you typically pay into a shared pool that can be drawn from to pay for maintenance needs.
the bigger issue you overlooked is the constant growth of bureaucratic overhead sucking up the watershed of resources and leaving only a trickle for the people actually putting together the curriculum, teaching and researching.

The administrators are useful to a point but they vastly overstate their importance and erode everything they touch overtime like a malignant cancer in a lot of organizations.
Looks a lot like the L EU vehicle class which is more than common in the EU. Go by various names: voiturette, mopoauto, quardicycle, same thing. Big, big issues and very dangerous for a variety of reasons, those being easier or harder to fix.

Firstly, we give them to 15 year olds (AM/121 license). This is an obvious safety issue but we also give them mopeds (AM/120), tractors (T/F/TM/Tкт/K/L & AM) and buggies (AM/121) whatever else. Ordinary driving licenses (B) in the EU are always 18 and up so this is our transitional mobility option. They're only meant to go 45 km/h but you know if you give someone a pimped up lawnmower with a plastic body they're going to do their everything to make that little engine work way harder than it should. You can, surprisingly, cram eight teenagers into one if you try – it has two seats. The age thing is relatively easy to fix.

Secondly, inherently unsafe design. These look more safe than mopeds. In terms of stability, they're stable upright and mopeds aren't so that's a big plus. Other than that, they're effectively the same vehicle when you get into a crash, that is, you practically become an 80 km/h pedestrian. They give off an illusion of safety though, making their (often young) user base very likely to find themselves in roadside posts due to the high centre of mass and low contact area making these things very likely to tip over in curve at any speed above like 35 km/h. Mopeds can actually often corner faster because they're designed to tip, but they're less likely to be driven with as much impunity due to the complete absence of the illusion of safety given by being inside a vehicle.

Thirdly, they are slow. At 45 km/h top speed they are pretty much only useful on local roads which limits where you can go to the exact same range as a bicycle. Being on an arterial for a long time is going to be a massive road safety risk simply because of everyone passing you and attempting to drive on a highway is in fact, entirely illegal. In everything, be it cargo capacity, seats, range or whatever they are equivalent to bicycles in everything but cost and lifetime emissions, especially if they're 2-stroke. Not only that but they don't benefit from the quicker and more free bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure which can cross however it wants and are confined to roads, leading to often much higher travel times despite twice the top and thrice the comfortable riding speed of a bicycle. In literally every way these are useless unless you live in a rural village an hour's walk away from the local town and are 15. Even then, a speed limited car would probably do better.

This insight into European driver's license and road safety politics brought to you by a Finnish man who wishes to see not only less SUVs but also less of these things on the roads because they are equally dangerous, although in different ways.

I can see the appeal. However, this solution is to ease friction for the average domain owner trying to onboard with service providers. Historically, public/private keys and the man in the street rarely get along.
It's because the pot is calling the kettle black and then getting annoyed when it is called out on it. It's not that complicated, and it doesn't call into question the legitimacy of the criticism. It just says: "you've had shit under your own shoe this whole time and only now that I got some under mine are you complaining about the smell"

Targeted spying on a specific journalist /= general data collection. There's an important difference.
>>posting banned ideas or government critical stuff in the US doesn't involve being arrested by the police and being held for months or years.

I would not be so confident about that, at least until the US and other western countries wise up to the CCP's tactics, which may be starting. E.g., CCP is running overseas "police stations" to intimidate and harrass people oversead, and the US FBI finally just arrested two people doing so in New York City.

>>TikTok spied on me. Why?

Short answer, is that it, along with every other Chinese company, has no choice other than to bend to the will of the CCP. Plus, they have no ethical boundaries (other than crossing the CCP) in seeking absolute market position, and this journalist had done something to threaten that dominant position.

Hinkley Point C, started 12 years later, is going swimmingly I hear! Going to cost the consumers ~$150/MWh and it is starting to look likely that EDF even at that incredibly high price takes a loss on it.

> Since construction began in March 2017, the project has been subject to several delays, including some caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,[10] and this has resulted in significant budget overruns. As of May 2022, the project is two years late and the expected cost is £25–26 billion,[11] 50% more than the original budget from 2016. It is currently planned to be commissioned in June 2027 and has a projected lifetime of 60 years. In February 2023, EDF announced that costs would rise to £32.7bn and completion would be delayed by a further 15 months to September 2028.[2][12]

What do venture capitalists actually do?
TikTok (and Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp (if they are really spying on our private WhatsApp conversations) knows I (my IP addresses/my device identifiers/my browser fingerprints) like memes.

I don't get the big deal?

They know my age and where I live, which is public information via sites indexed by Google for a large percentage of the population.

My phone knows where I go due to GPS + cell phone towers. This is published via a "location service" to every app asking for it (and given permission) on my phone.

Apple knows what I like because they run the operating system for both my phone and my laptop. Do they have some form of telemetry? Probably.

Google knows what I like because I use their browser and they run my Gmail/other services I use from them. Do they have some form of telemetry? Probably.

How is this a TikTok problem?
I'm surprised they don't do this already. It's pretty basic opsec.
I tend to get white socks or black socks. Over time, yes, different brands are not an exact match but in general, it's close enough for me and I just don't worry about it.
I suppose sock management is more tractable under purpose-specific conditions. Maybe it takes on the characteristics of gear (utility-dominant), rather than attire (aesthetics-dominant). If utilities are mismatched, well who cares?

This is indeed correct.
Yes, we have comparatively few actors. One thing that is not explained in the blog post however, is that we can run several indexing pipeline on the same machine. We have a bunch of tricks in our framework to run ~1000ish index pipeline on the same server. That's a target of around 10k actors in the most extreme case.

We also send very few messages: the smallest message we send is represent batches of log lines.

As a result, our framework does not really care about performances.
On one thread, it can process ~2.5 millions messages on my laptop: this is well above our needs, but it is correct to say that our framework is very slow compared to others.

Planting trees is not really viable to deal with CO2 emissions on any significant scale.

Assuming a tree absorbs around 20kg of CO2/year, you'd need to plant 250 trees per year (!!) for every single passenger vehicle (~5tons of CO2/year).

And the problem does not stop there-- these numbers only work for the first 20 or so years of tree growth, and afterwards you have to seal you trees (under high pressure to turn them into hydrocarbons? :P) or plant even more trees to compensate for older trees decomposing (releasing CO2).

That sounds like a real risk but also the kind of thing you would need to implement a solution for anyways.

It seems like there's two clear paths:

- Allow the model to complete whatever it wants and then anneal the structure into compliance
- Force the model into a compliant structure and then anneal the quality

I think both options can make sense in different cases.

One case I'm thinking about where the second option feels simpler is when you want to implement a boolean function using a language model. I'm imagining a probability distribution that looks like:

- (40%) the answer is true
- (39%) True
- (21%) False

In this case it seems significantly more straightforward to force the model into completing T or F. I guess you then run into the "dangerous case" where you have

- (40%) the answer is false
- (39%) True
- (21%) False

Real world example for Crystal: our overnight sitemap generation (built using Ruby, as part of our Rails app) took 6 hours to generate 20 million links. At some point due to infra changes, it stopped running to completion. Since then, we ported it over to Crystal, with the main code virtually unchanged (library to help generate sitemaps has matching API). Just had to set up basic database mapping for a few tables. That version is now in production, and it now processes 30 million links in about 30 minutes.

Expiry dates are optional at the moment but perhaps the requirement for an expiry could be set at the domain level. For example a query to:

Reveals domain-wide settings like:

1. All verification must have expiry date.

2. Max expiry 1 year

3. Only verify emails for users @ example.com and example.org

I'm generally a proponent of soft limits on almost everything. It's better to hit some artificial cap than to end up chewing away on a transaction forever or crashing some service that can't allocate the memory to deal with it.

I don't think that's really true. The original point of gmail was to get users to log in, so they would get better search quality. Before gmail there was no reason to log in to Google at all.
Reading the comments, I see so many frustrated people.

The cannonball teams aren't weaving traffic at 160. They are using scanners, binoculars and multiple pairs of eyes to map out moves before taking them, attempting to get through sticky situations quickly and safely and making up time in open stretches. This is arguably a safer driving strategy than what most soccer moms employ.

You all should try a 'cannonball lite' sometime. When you take a road trip, see how far ahead of an initial Google Maps transit estimate you can get. It is pretty eye opening (and will pretty quickly sell you on the concept of auxiliary gas tanks).

Yeah in Finland you see people in effectively single-seat L-class vehicles all the time. It's the vehicle they use to get around, but that's an exception that should probably be left to them.

> any online shop is technically supposed to follow all local tax laws for any customer

Don't think that's true. I'm pretty sure US companies that sell to me don't have to charge me VAT nor pass it to my government. Same for EU companies that sell to the US, they don't have to charge sales tax.

Ofc everything is muddied in the name of convenience.

Let's take Amazon US. I can order from them with the cheap shipping, pick up my package from the post office and pay VAT on it to a customs agent. Unless it's under (i think) 40 eur in value, then no VAT.

However, if I select expedited shipping Amazon will charge me the VAT and their shipper will pay it in my name to the local customs. But this isn't a legal obligation for Amazon US, it's a service they offer me for convenience. And incidentally I like it because I don't waste time at the post office, but that's unrelated.

In the same vein, if Tutanota woudn't be an US entity this wouldn't apply to them. The US government would be free to forbid them to take US customers (maybe, IANAL) or complain to whatever jurisdiction they operate in. But that's all.
But these are college kids. Cut them some slack.
