Where is the theft?

If that website allows him to download the pages without a 401 or a 403, then how is it any of their business how be prefers to consume that content?

No theft has occurred. Not even in the half-assed "copyright infringement is theft" meaning that some slack-jawed quarterwits have started to use the last decade or two.

It is not harming you to decline to buy something from you, not even if you really really want me to buy it from you, or even if you need me to do that. But if that is true, then it must be especially so that I am not harming you when I turn down your Amway or timeshare sales pitch.

The only moral obligation, the only actual contract that is relevant here is the peering arrangement. Don't put things on the public www unless you're willing to serve them up to everyone. Definitely don't serve them up and then whine that they weren't allow to make the http request.

No shoplifting occurred. Just better software.
They're against the idea because a world where they get that pay consistently instead of by tips seems fictional. People who advocate for getting rid of tipping sound like they're trying to take away a good chunk of their income.

Plus, instead of thinking about potentially low tipping periods and how averages work, they think about missing out on that sweet $300 tip they might make at some point if they get lucky.
The embarrassing part is the “2.8 KWh” figure. For comparison, since the number doesn’t seem to resonate with you, that generous estimate of the energy involved is comparable to about 0.1 gallons of gas, maybe a little lower.

It’s an expensive and highly ineffective way to charge cars a very small amount, and is fundamentally a poor use of society’s limited resources.
> IMHO desire to prevent learning from your open source code seems kind of irrational and antithetical to open source ideas

You may be right that this is antithetical to "open source" ideas, as Tim O'Reilly would've defined it - a la MIT/BSD/&c., but it's very much in line with copyleft ideas as RMS would've defined it - a la GPL/EUPL/&c. - which is what's being explicitly discussed in this article.

The two are not the same: "open source" is about widespread "open" use of source code, copyleft is much more discerning and aims to carefully temper reuse in such a way that prioritises end user liberty.
It's not a misconception when it's what many organizations are actually doing. Any that implement SAFe, for instance.
Maybe I'm being weird about it, but what would it take to repeal the idea of social cost? If I'm being extra snippy about it, it seems like folks are not being held accountable for their feelings of social entitlement.
Oops, thanks for the clarification. My bad.
You're right that the focus of the article arguably doesn't fit the classic definition of trolling[0].

However, I think that this is a reasonably extension of the classic definition to fit newer problems. Rather than post the specious argument directly to Facebook they're sending it to the moderators. The purpose is the same, to disrupt the discussion.

> 2. n. An individual who .. regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion.

Further down in TFA they do bring up conventional trolling

Copyright should have renewals past a particular date (14 years?) with a renewal fee on an increasing level after.

The primary value of a copyrighted work is not intrinsic, but rather comes from the integration of the work into everyday activity and culture.
Hearing “device+biometric” described as 2FA makes me chuckle. Really, that translates down to “biometrics reader storing the passkey+ biometric” being “2FA”. By that standard, “a device storing a way to verify the password + a keyboard to input the password” should be 2FA. In which case, passwords were always 2FA to begin with, since the server/OS acts as that device.
Maybe try wearing a cowboy hat and imitate a high rolling Texan.
I imagine this is Crawler Hints (https://blog.cloudflare.com/tag/crawler-hints/). If OP has Crawler Hints enabled on their domain then Cloudflare will let search engines know about pages.
Exactly, I was going to point out the same thing. The flash cells might be charged or discharged of electrons, but the whole flash drive can't have a net charge or else you will certainly feel it. And because no solid/liquid/gaseous matter is exchanged between the computer and flash drive, there are no positive particles (nuclei/protons) moving either.

This is similar to what it means to "charge" a capacitor. It doesn't mean injecting or removing electrons from it, because that would cause a net charge. It actually means shifting electrons from one electrode to the other, separated by an insulated gap. http://amasci.com/emotor/cap1.html
Just call it "King of the Rings", starring John Cena as Frodo.
This is super helpful. Great work.
In the US, it's pretty ridiculous that the USPS isn't doing email yet. Free account with some strict limits (especially on per-day sending) for all residents, paid options available, support at post office locations and partner libraries.

It's nigh-necessary for communicating with government and participating in the economy—USPS ought to do email.
Sadly he seems to be an anthropologist rather than a felidologist.
I struggle to follow these threads. I have no idea what's going on.
In the first paragraph, that doc echoes exactly what I explain.

> You need to carefully assess the application architecture before adopting this pattern, and make sure that you avoid hot tables (single tables that are shared among multiple microservices).

Using the same database table with multiple services (micro or not) is an absolute disaster.
Yeah, if what you want is to prevent others from seeing other-others content, you're gonna have a hard time implementing that in a decentralized/distributed protocol, just as you say.

You basically have to chose between that or allowing the platform to censor anyone, which these "new breeds" of social networks seems to make the choice of doing "personal blocking" rather than "network wide" blocking.

What I think most people want though, is not "blocking" in terms of "no one will be able to see this person" but "blocking" in terms of "I don't want them to be able to interact with me, nor do I want to see their content".
I think it's fine if you don't learn Julia. When I was in university some of the course work had to be done in MATLAB. I think Julia could definitely be used instead nowadays. Simply being free is reason enough. You could argue that python/numpy would be an option as well.
Why would winter conditions impact inductive charging?
We trained AI on the sum of human knowledge so there is going to be some implicit anthropomorphization in the model itself.
> It's even crappier for workers when bosses dictate that tips should be pooled or whatever.

Your comment made me think - I wonder if a way of reigning in this weaponization of tipping culture would be state laws for transparency of where tips actually go. Let's say anywhere that solicits tips must clearly post how that money is divided up (on the menu, tip jar, POS terminal, prominent signs, etc). Whether it all goes to your server, whether it's pooled between servers, pooled with the whole staff, whether any doesn't go to employees for any reason, etc.

I'd think the servers who actually benefit from tips (individually tipped at nice places) would be fine with this, while the places where it's become a general guilt-tax that just gets averaged out and used as a substitute for wages would be laid bare.
Do USB drives have some symmetric key in them? I understand flash does as this helps with write levelling so any data written is closer to noise?
Funny enough, the same company that built the high speed rail in Florida is now going to build a high speed rail line from Southern California to Las Vegas. It appears that this project will start construction soon.
I think just tanker chargers and wires would be more effective, like in-flight refueling. Also way more sci fi.
I think you're misinterpreting GP's intention. People generally don't want the tips to be gone so that they pay less. People want the tips to be included in the price so that when they buy something they know how much they're paying.

In the current system restauranteurs skimp on wages because they know workers make up for it with tips and hence are willing to work for dirt-cheap wages. But it's not like the restaurant business actually benefit from it, because supply and demand is still determined by how much patrons pay in total. If they charge more up front (along with everyone else), and just give a larger portion to workers, they'll still make the same amount of money.

We're stuck in a shitty local minimum that benefits nobody.
The Amtrak Wolverine service (Chicago to Detroit) begs to differ. And just last week the Lincoln service (Chicago to St. Louis) and the Texas Eagle service (Chicago to Dallas/San Antonio) got approval for higher-speed operation.

Brightline is very successful, part of which is due to having so few stops, something that a public railroad could never get away with politically. The Amtrak trains stop so often that they spend very little time at their top speed.
The moon's surface is constantly bombarded by solar radiation. In fact ...

https://phys.org/news/2020-09-moon.html

"New measurements show moon has hazardous radiation levels"

Astronauts would get 200 to 1,000 times more radiation on the moon than what we experience on Earth—or five to 10 times more than passengers on a trans-Atlantic airline flight, noted Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber of Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany.
I don't have the knowledge or smarts to give much detail about it but there's some rather interesting parts of this in Quantum Mechanics and Entropy. Along with that it's also one of the fun little areas of things that may or may not be breaking down with our current models around black-holes and our understanding of gravity.

It's an active area of research because of this because it may point to a way to reconcile the incompatibilities between QM and Relativity to get a Grand Unified Theory. I believe Loop Quantum Gravity ends up with effects around this mass-energy-information/entropy equivalence idea as an emergent property of how it's trying to reconcile QM and Relativity.
As an non-member and a person who went to bootcamp experience, this is true. I don't know what branch you were in but I'm assure you this was in fact the case.

But thanks for calling me a liar, very Mormon of you.
I guess the actual analogy to tapes or CDs would be carrying around a pile of blank tapes vs tapes with recordings on them -- same weight, different amount of music
Tyler Cowen – There Is No Turning Back on AI
Here we see the effects of a computer science education on the author. Not enough physics.
Information having energy is well known since Boltzmann, as entropy is measured in J/K. I don't think that information is "equivalent" to energy. (Also, I don't think that mass is equivalent to energy either. Sure, if you add energy, you gain mass and vice versa, but since things (for example things with charge) can't be created or destroyed (not even with black holes or antiparticles), talking about the equivalence of energy and mass is total nonsense.)
The slightly more nuanced version of this is: Behave authentically when you're pro-social and mask when you're tendency is anti-social. The trick that's happening is that pro-social behavior is being applauded for it's authenticity when in fact, it's just pro-social.
I have been trying to get a hold of the article, and since it’s been a while, I hope I am right. That said, I do think the principle is not weird or outrageous for nation stations.
Didn't they build that weird "emergency packet" feature to skip to the head of line? IIRC it was never well supported in various system stacks..
The truth is, there is no fundamental difference between a one and a zero. Flash is either charged or discharged. Physically 'erasing' means setting all the flash to charged and 'writing' means setting (part of) the flash to discharged. If charged means one or zero is a matter of interpretation. Most commonly, charged is considered a one.
The entirely infeasibility and the incompetence or malice in the whole chain of people that pushed and approved this project qualifies it as a boondoggle.

In our local universe entropy must be preserved, and energy comes at a premium. That is the reason nobody have flying cars since they were envisioned in the 60s.

Same for hydrogen fuel cells, more realistic but still overhyped as it is not more efficient than simple battery, it has worse logistics and delivers less. The tech in terms of auto is now dying as reality is slamming into its face. And for the same reason (energy inefficiency and costs) this project will also die.
Indeed. This idea seems ridiculous on its face when you consider the state of existing road infrastructure. The only way it could work is if it made maintenance cheaper or was a driver of significant revenue.
(disclaimer, I'm with Grafana). We added a lot to our free Grafana Cloud so you can kick it pretty hard (and harder during the first 14 days when everything is beefed up). Free tier comes with 3 Grafana front end users fully managed, backend (with storage) 50gb Loki logs, 50gb Tempo traces, 10k monthly active series prom metrics, IRM/on call, k6 user testing hours and other stuff too. And for the quick solution integrations we made a K8s monitoring solution with out of the box dashboards, KPIs and alerts. Same thing we did with many others. We absolutely have more work to do in simplifying the user experience too.
Never mind the difficulty of stuffing so many electrons in a space the size of a flash drive, and keeping them contained…

(Also, 2 TiB is just 2e12 bytes, and 2e12 bytes only equals 1.6e13 bits, it’s log2(8) that’s 3, but that doesn’t really affect your conclusion.)
Intel Announces Layoffs After Paying $1.5B in Q1 Dividends
BlockFrame: A File Chunking Library
AI could pose more urgent threat to humanity than climate change,Geoffrey Hinton
BlockFrame is a file chunking library designed to work as a data-store solution alongside web apps and software. It provides a simple and flexible way to store large files by breaking them into smaller chunks that can be easily managed and retrieved. I'm very interested in file-storage methods and optimising their read and write speeds. Blockframe enables this with security and efficiency.

Source: https://github.com/Wizock/BlockFrame

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/BlockFrame/

I would really appreciate it if you would download and test it out, take it for a fun run and comment on any issues you had with usage. Please make sure to read the example source code for use types to avoid making errors, however, I hope it's easy to grasp. Oh and the reconstructed folder is required to be created :3 (still working on that, I don't know if people want their own custom path for the file fetch dir)

A star and share would be so much appreciated, I'm very passionate about this library and I hope you guys have some bugs for me to take care of :))

thanks
OpenBSD cron(8) now supports random ranges with steps
The amount of audio stored on a tape depends on the transport speed chosen. Slower speed means less bandwidth, which means high-frequency signals are lost.

The amount of audio stored on a vinyl record depends on the amplitude of the signal. Loud sounds and thumping bass will increase the spacing between tracks, thus reducing the recording time.
Estimates you get are what the estimator thinks you will pay (mostly) not how much it costs them.

Prices in the real world are barely linked to costs. Budget risks are bundled in markets with high variance.
Hopefully they’ve learned a lesson or two.
No they made the wrong decision and SCTP and QUIC fixed almost everything wrong with TCP.

I personally stopped using raw TCP because it is almost always the wrong solution. If I need a bare bones protocol where I want to send raw bytes I now always use websockets because they work exactly as they should.

Streaming is such a niche usecase that is only natural if you don't semantically interpret the data, i.e. arbitrary file transfers but the vast majority of the complexity isn't there.

> It's easy to add features to a simple transport, it's not so easy to work around features when you don't want them

No, in my experience, you will spend most of your time working around TCP warts.
rate-limit is cool eh, but you can run a whole bot empire behind a proxy list? seems not fair
Those REPLs aren’t even close to Common Lisp.

Common Lisp borrowed parts of the smalltalk development strategy. You can start a process and gradually update it in very sophisticated ways as you live code against it.

You wouldn’t dream of packaging up your Python REPL and shipping it to users. You certainly wouldn’t open a Python REPL on your production server and start redefining functions and data structures on the fly.

This kind of experience is pretty much limited to Smalltalk, Forth, and Common Lisp (with Erlang having a more limited ability to do live updates).
The Brightline train travels at 75 mph for a significant portion of its distance. It has to slow down due to dozens and dozens of road crossings.

It's half-assed compared to what California is building.
I saw this a lot in like 2014, but it's been a while since I've run into anyone that fanboys Google or Android like they were in the past. People would fawn over Google.
Amusing stat, but doesn't really speak to FL builds.
You won't get better service – that's my point, the next guy who sounds like you will. If people who look and speak like you tip disproportionately, everyone else that looks and speaks that way will get great service by default, even if they don't tip, at expense of everyone else now getting bad service.

This of course doesn't apply if you are a regular, feel free to do whatever you want. The staff will treat you well because it's you, not because of the stereotype your accent implies.
How does "presence" translate to "installing state officials"?
I get the idea as a layman from the outside that spies all sort of run in the same circles for obvious reasons, they are getting and exchanging value with eachother and constantly trying to recruit eachother etc. So yesterdays recruit is tomorrows terrorist. And if you’re a spy who is actually connected you’ve likely met with them and used them for info in the past. I assume it’s just how spycraft works.

It’s likely a deeply unpleasant and not generally understandable business. I don’t say that as an excuse rather that it’s just who gets attracted to and works in the scene and how they network.
There was a kinda-free option (as in you had to have an iPhone, but the app itself was free). Krypt.co had this based on the iphone's secure enclave. It was bought by Akamai, and it's not clear what state it's in.

https://krypt.co/

I think there was also an implementation for mac os based on the t1/t2 chip, but since I've never had such a mac, I've never looked properly into that. But that probably means that you could roll your own.

A quick google search yields this for Linux with a TPM: https://github.com/psanford/tpm-fido
do you really need an LLM should be the question. Re smart home devices, I haven't seen anyone using it other than setting an alarm, timer, turning on/off the lights, playing music, checking the weather and so on. Probably there are max 1000 things. you can have an end-to-end spoken language understanding rather than speech-to-text and nlp separately.
other than big tech, smaller speech companies - snips, picovoice, sensory are all doing that.

just because amazon has billions of dollars to acquire user data, or acquire and kill smaller companies, it doesn't mean it's the best or only way.
Also consider that most high density Flash today is made from TLC cells which have 8 distinct Vt levels each. That means in average case (i.e. random data) there is a minimum of 3.5 electrons per cell required.

In reality, much more than 1 electron is required to store a 0 or 1 with any level of reliability. On the order of 10s to 100s of electrons per bit even on leading processes.
if this was true wouldn't it imply that you could tell the difference between random and encrypted data?

And if you ascribed meaning to random data it would gain weight...
> I obviously can't state "I'm going to tip you 20%!" at the beginning of the service – I'd look like a deranged person.

When I’m at smaller restaurant where the staff doesn’t know me well, and want to signal “I’m going to tip you well!”, I’ll often get an expensive drink at the bar beforehand and massively overtip.

The staff obviously talks to each other, and in my non-scientific study, this fairly consistently results in a better service outcome.
I would say that if you can't teach a human to add, then they might be a lookup table.

Also, the tokenization is fine, as shown in other examples. Imagine we didn't call it arithmetic and instead used symbols a and b, s.t. a + a = a, a + b = b, and b + b = a w/ carry b. Binary addition really is just very basic logical rules on symbols.
Even the last sentence is complete nonsense

> However, you would need to weigh more USB drives than exist on the planet together at once before the difference in weight became easily measurable.

Scales precisions limits are not absolute, but relative to their measuring range, so if a weight change is too small to measure, the solution is better scales, not more stuff.
If you frequently want to develop and maintain publicly uses functionality that requires writing some in a faster compiled language and then binding to an interactive one like R or Python. Test coverage and multiuser maintenance is way easier when it's all just one language and has a sud package manager.
Very annoying !!!!!
Chile is the region they intend to scrape lithium from Mars... to rain down upon the Earth.
My yardstick so far of all LLMs has been to ask for an offensive joke, ask for a function to invert a string, and ask for directions to make lasagna. It seems stupid but it's remarkably effective.

With MLC being the first LLM-in-a-box to run on my M2 at faster than a token per minute, I'm impressed at the speed but also disappointed at the quality of the experience. For those interested in the outcome, it failed all 3 tests, which is not unexpected for a small model like this.

Using/producing models with censorship included voluntarily demonstrates a willingness to hobble the technology for peripheral reasons that do not directly correlate with the advancement of the field. For that reason, this is a disqualifying characteristic in the capacity of my own use on the basis that social sensibilities and decency varies across cultural and regional lines, anything so trivial as a crass joke being limited is such a low bar that other things of much more grave concern will undoubtedly be tampered with or limited, and not always in ways the authors intended.

Self-hindering behavior will not be the positive we think it will be, as with most measures to correct injustices with data.
Part (and I do mean part) of the explanation is that people’s expectations around peer group and lifestyle changes. He’s probabaly looking at Larry Ellison and feeling poor, and that he needs to have (make up a number) $1b in the bank to support his lifestyle (planes, houses, hobbies, philanthropic giving, etc.). I bet if you asked in 2004 (pre-google) what the comparable number was, it was like $20-40m…
