Back in the day I worked for a small IT company that hadn't yet implemented DNS or DHCP, all machines including office PCs were named using periodically distributed hosts files. Reading this file was fun, to see the imagination slowly dwindle. The names started using the usual themes, planets, gases, Tolkien characters. By the end the names had degenerated into 'door', 'window', 'chair', 'pen'.
Nice catch! I think it was a little less juvenile than it might sound. I believe this was for a different game, Fusion Frenzy, which was a party minigame collection.
I don't think trivial means what you think it means
That is for the courts to be determined. Causal connection is there, but colours from the legal palette evolve by rules of applicable laws.

For example, if I have an LLM that had your copyrighted works in its training data, then any of its output is causally deriving from those copyrighted works of yours - it comes out painted in colour of "causally derived from ${kelseyfrog's works present in the training set}" - but whether or not it also carries the colour of "derivative of ${kelseyfrog's works...} in copyright law sense", depends on... the copyright law, and may change over time based on how that set of laws evolve.

Shame you have to enter your credit card details before even being able to try it. This discouraged me from even signing up.
Does this really work? Any arbitrary fixed-length prefix?

I always just serialize the inputs with JSON or something. Any weirdness an attacker might try would just be escaped so they'll never be able to match the original input.

I’m Australian. iPhones are pretty much universal in developed countries outside of Asia.
Walk away from it, then come back to it in a bit and take the feedback at face value again.

This is obviously easiest with Slack, Google Docs comments, pull request feedback, Hacker News comments, etc. In person feedback might require a poker face and later reflection.

I find, most of the time, that feedback feels a lot less reasonable (and more personal) the first time I see it, but that it feels more reasonable and actionable when I come back to it with a bit of distance. And then there's something to accepting part of their feedback, holding back on some less significant part, for a sort of win/win where you don't have to feel like you gave in on everything.

Easy to say, much harder to do though!
> but then apparently the police (FBI) can restrict the free speech of Americans without any court involvement at all?

are you sure about this? As far as I understand "gag orders" can only come from a judge. Of course the FBI could request strongly that you not talk about something but I'm not sure it would hold legal weight.
Valve's “Secret Weapon”: Play Tests
Thanks for the reply - I didn't know about Cuda versions. Makes sense.
This is a masterful recovery effort. The README should be shared as an object lesson far and wide to every data restoration and archival service around.
I don't want to even remotely tempt them to sue. They have no grounds, but I'm not taking risks-- companies are notorious for suing when they know they'll lose. Others who have posted it here have identified the right company though.
“Undo Tweet” is deleting your message even if you don't mean to
In my opinion, it always helps if you get to know the people reviewing your work personally. Sometimes, this happens naturally. You don't have to be buddies; however, if you understand a person's background, biases, and experience, it adds a lot of context to anything they say.
What do you mean "outside the context the tokens were handed out in"?

And isn't this the same as stealing a cookie or something?
Wow, I was going to say that I'm tired of this systemd trashing. systemd is a very nice piece of software and does not deserve all the hate it gets.

However, this one is pretty bad indeed. Also, respecting this one setting they had does not seem very complex, I'm not convinced by their way of rejecting the request to restore it.
Tailscale client is open source but server is not. Also, it is not a VPN service solely but it also allows remote access to your machine for admins. I don't like that at all.
In-app purchase fees only apply to digital downloaded content, not “real world” purchases like restaurant meals.

Apple do get a small cut of all Apple Pay transactions, reported to be 0.15% in the US. In Europe it will be substantially less.

Python was released in 1991 with 1.0 in 1994, PyPI is newer (the date listed there appears to be when it went online.)
I don't understand why this is downvoted.

It's true. Business doesn't need to care or know about how btree indices works in RDBMs, they just care whether there reports are generated fast enough.
Sometimes it's hard, but most of the times I find it easy. I think it's because I always assume I could write better code.

That is, after finishing something, if I did a rewrite say a month later then it would have a better design, with better code and hopefully fewer mistakes.

Thus if someone else points out my design or code isn't the best or I've made a mistake they're kinda just pointing out the obvious.

An important note though: this does not mean I don't defend my solutions. They may criticize it, but I judge their criticism before answering. Often I'll agree, after all, most of the time my solutions can be improved. But sometimes I'll disagree and then I'll say that and give my reasoning why.
My point is precisely that: those investments are happening, that R&D is happening, and electric planes will happen, and they will reach commercial scale at some point.

And when then do (I would probably bet "in 10 to 15 years", and I would absolutely bet "later than you're optimisticly hoping", because that's what the people making the planes are saying [1] [2]), then the bans won't make sense, sure. At some point.

But the emphasis is _AT SOME POINT_, where the commercial fossil fuel propelled planes are travelling and emitting _RIGHT NOW_. The best time to reduce the number of flights was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

MEANWHILE...

OP here! Yes I'd highly recommend this video, I stumbled across it early on when trying to familiarize myself with what the options were-- and it's a good video!
The attitude here does seem to be that public scrutiny of CEOs’ actions is just ‘hot air’. This is a political issue, not simply a case of back seat driving.
This is what the article says for [0]

“Police say the man targeted people on social media and promoted hatred against them after an attack in London, Ont., in June, where four members of a family were killed.”

Does that sound like criticism to you? It reads like harassment to me.
Okay. But all Americans do. Is that also forced labor? How does that line of logic hold any water?
That might work as a first strike capability - although sailing a cargo ship from North Korea to Tokyo without garnering any interest from intelligence agencies might be more difficult than you give it credit for.

But the main thing you want nuke for is as a deterrent. Get in a fight with us and we press the button. It's hard to imagine the sneaky boat trick working when North Korea is under blockade by the entire US and Japanese navies. And even if they run the blockade they're going to have trouble getting close to Tokyo.
What I don’t get is why people use SF when BQ exists.
For those wondering, the README states it's a lot faster than JQ, which may be the selling point.
And yet despite being at the state level, all americans do have a right to K-12. Is that also forced labor?
I had a pirated version on PC but it was such a great game I bought it for Wii as it was much more fun to play it there. So piracy != lost sales.
One option is to be involved in non-work activities. If your only source of self worth is your job, then any criticism to it is a criticism to your self worth. If you have multiple sources of self worth the a criticism to your work has a smaller effect to your self worth.

For example, you might be a dance teacher in the afternoons where your students really admire you or you are the “popular” person among a group of friends.
I wasn't talking about fluency, just about possibility to use it for programming.
Wow, American exceptionalism claims have now gone so farad to claim that freedom of speech is unique to America!

Not even the historical claim holds, as constitutional protections for free speech in France and Sweden predate the American constitution.

> For example, Canada jails people for criticizing those of Islamic persuasion

He was arrested, presented to court, and acquited. Therefore he was not "jailed". Also: the charge was inciting/organising a hate crime, in the wake of a killing of a Muslim father and his 15-year old daughter, not "criticising those of Islamic persuasion".

Don't be a liar, it doesn't help your argument.
This didn’t convince me that federally funded right to healthcare would be forced labor any more than federally funded anything else.

The problem I have with these is that they do 98% of the removal well, but flub the last 2%. This has been the case with every one of the online and app flavors I have used (note I refuse to subscribe to Adobe.)

My use case is mineral photos, as it turns out. And I would be very surprised if the AI had been trained on these. The sad thing is -- mineral photo backgrounds tend to be very simple and smoothly-varying. Should be a slam dunk. Ah well.

A one-shot background remover doesn't give you the opportunity to interact with it and suggest that it got things wrong here and there.

Yes, I tried one of my mineral photos, and the app made several errors that it shouldn't have, as the foreground was clearly distinct from the background.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post a photo link, but here it is: https://imgur.com/a/V9H1pRH .
Go your own way.

The founders have clearly failed, you have a vision now. Make sure you can carry out the idea and direction and that your idea is commercially viable to avoid the situation that these founders have 'found' themselves in.

Good luck!
Are you using Temporal Cloud?
Rhetorical question, but why is there even a hospital bill for being hospitalized? Keeping your people healthy should just be a given. How many hundreds of years will it take before universal healthcare is finally accepted as the basic standard of a humane civilization?
VanJS (Vanilla JavaScript): smallest reactive UI framework
Yes, I was expecting this hotline to do more harm than good. It's not just for people who have problems themselves, it's also a hotline to report those who they care about. It's basically snitching on people because of their thoughts. It's a further entrenchment of our "police state".

Many times ordinary people have suicidal thoughts and don't carry out it at all. Subjecting those people to coercive treatments would be extremely harmful as doing so will further traumatize them. And it's also an affront to individual liberty, including the freedom to have negative thoughts. Sometimes such thoughts, if not interfered with by a meddling "nanny state", are an opportunity for growth and recovery.

And this hotline can also be used as yet another means of coercive control by a partner with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or other personality disorders. Where the partner can threaten to report the victim as suicidal or mentally unstable. Yes that happens, and it's surprisingly common. That's why here in the UK we passed laws against coercive control.
I’d like to know some other metrics that resulted from this service. Maybe they’re impossible to get but I’d like to know them.

How many suicides were prevented?

How many people were saved from harm by another person?

Has general mental health improved?

People involuntarily detained is a negative result, but it’s not the only important one.
The tech stack you/your team already knows.

In my case for OnlineOrNot it was Next.js (boring old Node.js + TypeScript + React).
Good luck finding an airborne SAR platform with a 2000km range. Hypersonic missiles against mobile targets is still a fantasy at this point. Aircraft carriers aren't known to just show up and drop anchor.
Just wait until the legislators catch wind of this.
The difference is that no-one would load remote-user-supplied C++ code at runtime and expect it not to result in vulnerability, but people remotely source JS, or allow remote-user-supplied HTML to interact with their JS, and the stakes are higher than they would be in a web browser, because Node (and therefore Electron) has APIs to e.g. read and write to your filesystem and browsers have sandboxes to block that.

(Electron offers sandboxing too, but you're likely to actually want to use the OS features so it's not as simple as always disallowing the access.)

I think I'm in the extreme minority on this, but in my view those responses go from least harsh to harshest.

This is complete shit, start over.

Even though there's vulgarity, it's explicitly directed at "this" and not "you." If the vulgarity is indicative of any frustration, then it means my work was below their expectations - which necessarily implies that they have come to expect more from my work. This is confirmed by their direction to start over, without any additional oversight or specific micromanagement. The boss who says this respects you, respects your work, and knows you can do better than this uncharacteristic example without them holding your hand.

If you used this pattern in this area, it would become easier to read

"You." This comment is directed at me and the choices I made. The comment uses the conditional - it isn't frustrated, it's wistful. The language is stilted and formal; they're keeping me at an arm's length. And easier to read? Humiliating that my thought process is that incoherent.

This variable has a generic name, please make it more expressive.

Very simple present tense statement, followed by very simple imperative. I'm clearly being handled. And please? They are literally begging me not to suck so bad. This isn't just arms-length language, this is you're-going-on-a-PIP-and-we're-being-careful-not-to-give-you-any-employment-law-leverage language. If someone ever gives me feedback like this, that's a sign I'm going to get fired.
> Open models... are still behind GPT-4 by some distance but they are closing in at a rate that leads me to believe there’s not much of a moat there

This assumes that openai internally doesn't also "closing-in" towards something even more impressive to be released next year or whatnot.
It's a good spell checker too.

Not as good as Antidote, which I still pay for, but it's more about the UI than anything else.

However, the advice it gives to improve my writing style are underwhelming. I'm sure they are useful for people that don't write often, but if you do, you have developed a sense of the quirks you can get away with, and it's part of your identity.

Fixing them is not an improvement.
Love it. It also provide highres output out of the box. 100% I will be a customer, albeit my yearly needs are in single digit range.
LTO tape media itself is typically only rated at 30 years, so I suspect the tapes will die before the drives do.
Adding it to HomeScreen as a WebApp on Android, creates a link without a logo. Could you make it appear like other WebApps, like Squoosh?
It's okay? I think what bothers me the most about it is that the envelope is smaller, and not front and center anymore. I get that the idea was to make it look more like the Firefox logo, and it succeeds in that regard, but I liked that the envelope was the big, rectangular thing which dominated the logo. That's what my eyes are looking for and expect if I'm searching for 'the mail program' on my desktop or phone or anywhere.
I just pushed an addendum, and it is being rendered right now.
I’m all for QR code ordering (and even better, QR code payment!). With a well thought out, streamlined UX, it can be a great timesaver. But it needs to be optional: trying to force it on everyone is just crazy.
There's some mention that this can be self-hosted, but it's not that easy.

Even a pre-trained model and self-hosted API like RemBG[0] performs a lot worse than this "pixian" service does.

https://huggingface.co/spaces/KenjieDec/RemBG [0]

All in all, I'd say they put a LOT of effort into scaling (it's FAST) and the models (they're extremely accurate).
I get it, this might be cool. But, it's a UI library! And there's no screenshot on the main page or the overview tab. Guys, come on. Screenshots should be the first thing we see.
That's not an envelope, it's an arrow pointing down.
Stack canaries are a good example of what I called common trivia. I had never heard of them before, but I could guess the overall idea from the term itself. A straightforward Google search returned several sources that gave further details. ChatGPT simply gave you a more user-friendly way of accessing information that was already easy to find if you knew to look for it.
This 95% of models are statically computable thing really shows how much he is trivializing this problem. I’d be interested to see his SW stack compile MaskRCNN. His ISA is massively under-defined and people will not change their model code to run on this accelerator unless his performance beats cuda significantly and even then they still won’t - usability matters more than performance every time. In the end you need a compiler, and it needs to be compatible with an existing framework which is not trivial at all, since they are written in python.

That is true about mag tape, I suspect tape to be one of the better choices for archival storage. In fact the biggest problem you will have with mag tape is making sure you have a working drive 10 - 20 years in the future when you want to look at your archives. to make things worse tape drives are getting more and more flimsy and fragile as tape tech advances.

my first job we had a vault of ibm reel to reel tapes of old business data. our attitude if we were ever asked to pull any of the data was that we would probably only get one chance at it as the ferric material on on the tape had a disturbing tendency to flake off. note that there are techniques to reduce this, but we did not have the means or motivation to apply them.

And a pedantic observation on your correct point about optical disks. you can't make backups on pressed disks, only recordable ones.
Rather than posting a poorly-worded, short-on-facts news story about the guy in Hamilton saying some hate speech, you could cite the actual Canadian Criminal Code which is far more specific and worthy of discussion: https://www.criminal-code.ca/criminal-code-of-canada-section...

This is what the guy was charged with violating (as per https://hamiltonpolice.on.ca/news/hamilton-police-charge-mal... )

Framing it as "Canada jails people for criticizing those of Islamic persuasion" is disingenuous, as if Canada specifically has laws about some specific religion or faith.
Summarised as "rights [...] are not absolute", this is a really weird statement. I confess I don't understand what makes a "civil right" different from an actual "right", to you.
Again, the completely inconsistent argumentation here: have you every had difficulty finding and buying Milk? No?

The market for Milk, like most other things works perfectly fine - like any other market.

The mental gymnastics going on here is like Cirque Du Soleil.

People don't want to pay and that's that.

'Anything' that you like, given the choice to have 'for free' , well, people will 'get it for free' if that option is available.

And that's it.
Do you react well to some constructive criticism or are bothered by just about all of it? I wonder if you are dealing when some perfectionism issues more broadly.

It’s sometimes hard to remember, but feedback is a gift. It is someone else taking time to show us how to be better. One approach to feel less bad about constructive/negative feedback is to show and feel gratitude to the person giving.

I remember I had a customer who was somewhat hostile and awkward when reporting bugs. One day they reported a bizarre issue related to a race condition and I spontaneously responded “that’s a AWESOME bug find. It’s a cool bug. Sorry it’s impacting you but I appreciate you helping us make the product better.” That and similar interactions changed the tone of our communications- by expressing enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity to learn I reinforced those emotions over the angst and worry over the problematic feedback and at the same time changed the tenor with the customer who went from being a little angry at finding bugs to enthusiastic at reporting then. I distinctly remember my smile the first time he started a meeting with “I’ve got a good one for you.”

If you can find a way to value the learning highly it helps reduce the sting to the ego of criticism.
The method described in the page you reference, does not exclude the possibility that the compiler you start with, contains malicious code, and recognizes that it is compiling the GCC code base. It is not true bootstrapping as described in [0]. If you read through [1] you will see that even getting a fairly recent version of TCC to compile is not that simple.
