Nintendo's stance is that modifying the firmware and dumping keys from the Switch is in violation of the DMCA. Downloading keys from the internet is a violation of Nintendo's copyright.

Take that as you will.
> HR software is a commodity.

It's not really, a commodity is typically fungible and these services you've listed are not easily swappable. There is a lot of cost in switching.

There is a wide range of service quality which you cannot determine by simply reading the website. You can figure this out by talking to a person and seeing how the company responds to your inquiries.

I'm in the process of leaving one such vendor because I did what you like to do. Just sign up easy on a website. It was a mistake and cost me money to fix because their service was bad and their support refused to fix their mistakes. I'm likely to go with a more expensive, bigger player in the field now.
The cost for unlimited public transportation in NYC is $127/month (not counting the 50% discount if you're extra poor). I dare you to prove that owning a car (depreciation, interest, gas, insurance, registration, taxes, tolls, maintenance, inspections, etc.) actually costs less than that per month.
> But the problem is that these models don't exist in a vacuum, and have to go against slightly larger ones that are also compute optimal and use more data, which will definitely perform better.

They don't have to go against those though. Most of these models are research models, either from academia or from companies experimenting to see what works. From my understanding, most of these are a - "We have X amount of USD for the next month or so, we'll try a few things, then whatever our best bet is we'll stick the time out on that".

Very few companies have the resources to train big models with as much compute as Google/OpenAI/Microsoft/Facebook.

These are also not being monetized as they're open source.

Going from their 2.7B model to 10B would be ~10X the compute (FLOPS) required for an optimal model. And this is likely their first open model and not their last, since Replit likely doesn't have the budget that openai does it makes sense they didn't want to blow their entire year's budget on their first open model.

2.7B would also be a really nice if anyone can get it working because it's more likely to be able to run in the IDE at that point instead of needed a massively scaled cloud (which might be valuable for replit).
> Lower labor costs in other Asian countries are a big draw. But geopolitics was probably also an important factor. In 2016 and 2017 Beijing and Seoul became embroiled in a major diplomatic spat over South Korea’s plan to host a high-tech U.S. missile defense radar system.

The most interesting part of the story got only 2 sentences.

Why exactly did the decision of the ROK government to install a US missile system negatively affect Samsung's electronics operations in China, consisting primarily of smartphones?

I don't see a logical relationship.
The app is fun! What is the easiest way to get started with the AT proto? Can you recommend tutorials or developer docs?
Maybe. But by reading the article one does get the impression that GCC devs (and C2X proposal authors) really like C++: the language is mentioned 16 times, and easily half of the features are lifted more or less as-is from there.
Aurora significantly modifies the internals of the DBs, particularly the storage layers. It also makes large changes to how memory is used for Postgres. Query plans can be quite different than with the vanilla version. Once you tune and create indexes based on Aurora's characteristics it's going to be a pain to retune for the unmodified version. Aurora also introduces nasty bugs that don't exist on the RDS version such as a memory leak I found was periodically restarting our master. The Postgres team produces highly reliable code, but I don't trust Aurora's hacks on top of it.
I wish Crystal would take off. It has so many things going for it (many of them mentioned in the article): performance, useful tooling such as an opinionated formatter, an integrated RSpec-like test framework, a powerful standard library, an awesome type system that gets out of the way most of the time, a familiar syntax.

So far I have been building some smaller personal CLI tools and a few web apps (with the Lucky framework). I’ve also tinkered with running it in AWS lambda functions in a custom (albeit unfinished) runtime.

Coming from a decade of Ruby, due to the similar syntax and mindset Crystal is my go to for cases where I need performance or runtime-less execution (e.g. in containers from scratch that contain only the binary and dependencies, if needed).

Crystal's standard library provided enough functionality for me in the past to get away with only few dependencies per project, which is great for supply chain security and complexity. Some of it's highlights are:

- an ergonomic HTTP::Server and client
- OAuth / OAuth2 clients with token refresh
- JSON/YAML/XML parsing/generation/mapping
- JSON/YAML mapping to classes
- native templating similar to ERB

> Leaking civilian killings or military abuse in wars prevent more from happening, thus saving lives and many of them.

maybe, maybe not, but completely irrelevant to the discussion, since we're evaluating one simple, objective, yes or no question you can find at the bottom of this post, not comparing anything

same here as above: that's irrelevant to the below question

> the opposite claim is a much stronger and compelling one.

the opposite claim to >1 human in history being killed by an intelligence leak, is <=1 human in history being killed by an intelligence leak, which, again, my example proves false (and is a ridiculous claim to make)

the rest of your post repeats, for at least the third time, nothing but irrelevant, mostly emotional opinions, distracting from the topic at hand:

Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by an intelligence leak?

Yes. QED.

DevSecOps, ugh.

There's this rule - it likely has a name, but I don't know what it is - the rule saying that two-syllable names are by far the easiest, most effortless and most likeable ones to deal with (and any popular name that isn't two-syllable will eventually get a diminutive that is).

DevOps is two-syllable, so it stuck. DevSecOps is three-syllable, so it sucks. That's on top of it looking like it was created by means of someone saying "oh oh and also security, and also security!".
Last time I read a very reassuring and cogent letter by the CEO of Shopify about the layoffs . But at no point did the letter hint at further layoffs no less 20% which is huge. Wondering what the explanation is this time. I understand everyone has their worth and price but I fail to see how management and leadership at companies still have jobs and huge bonuses.

Reaganomics has had 35 years. Maybe we need a new vision for our society.

What's the difference if they are in one or two repo if they produce two artifacts that are separated? You *will* have network calls between the two, unless you are marrying yourself with a deployment/operational platform that can run the two artifacts together. (ok, there could be a few but I really don't see how this is just using a "monorepo" instead of a "multirepo")
I keep trying to tell the socialists and communists out there that they can totally implement the way they want to live within any democratic capitalist system.

Just make a corporation which all of your people are members of, give voting powers to all members to decide what stuff the corporation buys as well as how members get to use the things. Can even go as far as setting up an HOA or a town where the company is the landlord for everyone or has right of first refusal in every property in that area. Once you have enough people to make some stuff on your own, the company call sell that stuff and that's the only touch point you all have to have with the capitalist economy. With time the members you have, the more stuff you can make yourselves, and the less stuff you company has to sell or buy. Eventually you're totally self-sufficient, don't make transactions, and therefore don't really pay taxes either.

They usually don't go for it because they are not really bothered that they can't live the way they want to so much as they are bothered that other people might still live under capitalism.

While the study may be bunk, anecdotally, finding a sleeping mask that worked for me (stayed on, wasn’t uncomfortable, kept all light out) has been a game changer in sleep quality. Better sleep has always brought more benefits to my day, so I am a believer in the mask.
The point of the wider thread is that placebo generally does not work. It only may create an illusion that it does - but that illusion alone does not cure the underlying problem (unless that problem is highly affected by your perception, at which point it's not really a placebo, but a proper treatment).
It's also possible to rent hardware in a rack and pay monthly, that's much cheaper than cloud services.
Shopify also bumped their prices 33% earlier in the year.

Rental leases are contracts of adhesion. Consent to facial recognition will be added to the boiler plate text. If tenants want to negotiate, they’ll be told that the contract is just a standard form that can’t change.
Either I'm misunderstanding you, or you're misunderstanding the GP. The GP is getting at large language models being equivalent to very high order Markov models combined with calculating argmax over all possible outputs.

Not sure how they defined "mobile application" however.
The whole thing in the Blade Runner world is that you can't tell the difference between a human and a replicant with a physical examination. That's the whole point why they have the Voight-Kampff in the first movie instead of just checking if Rachael has a DATA PORT.

In 2049 they _know_ that K is a replicant, but they need to detect whether he is getting too emotional to be reliable. Again, no data port. He's biologically human, but not mentally.
If AI maintains a decent rate of advancement, it will eventually become possible to just ask an AI to... rewrite it in a different language.

You can already give GPT a decent-sized chunk of C code and ask it to rewrite it in, say, Rust, and it works with some rate of success.

For the last 50 years, this was impossible to do in a generic way. In the last 6 months, we managed to move the needle from impossible to possible. Give it another 12000 months, and what are the chances this would not move towards "trivial"?

The mobile app thing is weird for sure.

I think reasonable people can disagree on the use of facial recognition by law enforcement (in the "point a camera at the sidewalk and see what happens" sense) but I see absolutely no reason why a private entity should be able to use this type of technology. A landlord doesn't have the right to know the identity of every guest every one of their tenants has - they just don't. A commercial venue like the whole MSG thing is a little stickier but the scale of it and the wild potential for abuse (again, MSG) makes my gut reaction an outright ban.

I'm not crazy about the government/LE doing this either but I'm really not crazy about private entities doing it.
The sad thing about this film is that I remember nothing about it a few years after watching it. Nothing. I have a vague recollection of a desert scene and a rainy one, but no idea what happens or who are the characters. The original one I could have described the plot with detail after twenty years, the time that passed until I rewatched it.
> E.g. Obviously a participant can not use their mobile phone or other screen devices if they are wearing a mask, and the mere fact they are wearing the mask may force them to do the one thing they can do: sleep.

This sounds like you describing the mechanism rather than rejecting the idea that a sleep mask helps. IOW, it may help because it "enforces" better sleep hygiene.
Have we gotten to the point where "bad for Facebook" ~= "good for society"? It's both a good indicator for progress and a sad place to be as a community.
While I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense even if you understand what's going on, and that what's going on isn't actually very clearly communicated to begin with, I still like it. I like that it's odd and off putting. It's just one of those things, like the door mugger with the hat in The Fifth Element, (or everything else in The Fifth Element), that just stand out and make the whole thing feel a little less paint by numbers.

I understand that thinking is hard and it's much easier to just adopt the opinions presented by someone who gets paid by advertising products to you. But please try to think this one through. Arbitrary punishment based on class or wealth or any other factor not related to the crime is a hallmark of a banana republic, not a civilised society. Parking fines are a Trojan Horse - once such a scheme is adopted, it will be applied throughout the legal system.
I don't know, I worked at a few companies that did this early in my career (early 2000s), and it was just the devs or the sysadmin of the office IT that did this sort of thing. There are lots of people who know enough about switches and routers to get them up and running.

Virtualization, IaC, analyzing performance, right architecture etc is all for later, when you've grown enough to need that.

> so someone who has never said those words has therefore never been conscious

That is not the argument.

People may well be conscious (no matter what they've said). What is the function of consciousness? Intriguingly, upon some reflection, we know of nothing that could not be done without consciousness [1]. One can seek food, mate, avoid danger, and so on without consciousness. One can speak and be intelligent without consciousness. So, why did evolution endow us with consciousness? Big puzzle.

[1] And now for the footnote/joke (which illustrates the profound point made in the paragraph above): The only thing we know of that one cannot do without consciousness is this: to truthfully answer "yes" to the question "are you conscious?".

Only because they've developed techniques for reasoning about documents. That'll happen for other material too. No historian reads a letter from 1923 and forgets that it was written by a person who has opinions, biases, and narratives.

My wife is a historian. A nontrivial amount of her work is reading about petty business squabbles from centuries past in various letters to state actors. Those letters contain narratives, biases, goals, and even just straight up lies. And dealing with this is a basic part of being a historian.

A historian who reads a postcard from a WW1 soldier and determines that it is a transparant depiction of everyday life without further analysis is the sort of person I'd expect to never get a faculty position.

Switching to C++ gets you lots of things that aren’t “C-like” (that, of course, is a vague term that, as this thread shows, people will disagree about, but I think there’s consensus that C++ has many features that aren’t C-like), and may get you subtle bugs because of small incompatibilities between C and C++.
