Do we? What would that look like?

Edit: missed the "if". Assuming you put that there because we currently do not have this tech. Speculatively: like most society wide moral choices, it'd probably be made in such a way as to serve the short term interests of whoever had the power to enact the policy.

In the home, not much. I am a minimalist and like a comfortable and functional tiny home. Food, tools, etc...

Under the home I would like to put bunkers. They are pricey in the US. The one I was looking at was Atlas's "Big Boy" [1] bunker about $300k. Less to do with doomsday stuff and more to do with year-round moderate temperatures as winter here is more than half the year and it would reduce noise a bit. I could see entirely replacing the home with one of these and making the entrance look like a Doctor Who Police Box thus freeing up more land.

> This is my 19 video [YouTube] playlist against drinking cow's milk from numerous perspectives

I’ve pretty much stopped trusting YouTube as a source for scientific evidence.

The motivation for YouTube content creators is views — much like news media, which I trust about as much.

Sure, there are individual creators that are probably fine, but I’d have to already recognize them to trust them. Otherwise it will be hard for me to not have some skepticism for random videos shared by others.

Otherwise, I view YouTube consumption as mostly entertainment, or DIY.
Probably doesn't even have a Starbucks.

It's a one-seahorse town.

Nice. I also started looking into possible WebRTC sources and servers since at least this could be integrated quite well into WebXR.

Unfortunately I find myself cycling thru needed components for interactivity these day and being stuck between competing SW and HW constraints.

Will give it a closer read next week.
Part of it can be that, yes, and you can somewhat confirm it by taking note of whether or not your phone constantly has fewer bars of reception. But what affects this more are domestic cellular grid configurations telling phones how often they should announce their presence to base stations. With the advent of 3G the beacon rate of handsets in the grid is vastly higher than during the 2G era. What you're noticing is that your phone is "checking in" with the grid - turning its transmitter portion on and letting the grid know it's online and available - a lot more often than back home.

As another datapoint to this I've visited Malta several times the past 3 years, and on every visit I notice that my phone (compared to in Sweden) drains notably less battery.
>If Youtube devs could see that significant amounts of dislikes were coming from users who hadn’t watched the video, or could identify other statistical aberrations, it stands to reason that such abuse would actively interfere with the legitimate functionality it was intended for and/or work against the interests of YouTube, advertisers, as well as authors and viewers.

But if you can see that these dislikes were from trolls, then you can account for that and not have the algorithm register them.

The biggest problems in aware of is sync conflicts, which just make things a little difficult. If they're text files it's not so bad, since vimdiff can easily merge. But if they're encrypted or more complex formats ... :/
Did you read some of those PubMed articles? Some of them have comments that really question the validity of their findings.

For example: I see Pall has written a bunch and this one in particular has quite a few "sus" comments: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29573716/

The article is a meta study but there are several comments from the authors of the original studies indicating that they believe Pall did not interpret their study correctly.
"in Julia" yields 25 pages of results on HN, while "in Rust" has >100 pages alongside other popular langs.
I was around 15 years old at that time. I remember reading this article[0] from Wired, it was probably the first time I've read an article so long and so technical without stopping. I couldn't grasp everything 100%, but every detail sounded so fascinating I kept reading and researching about.

It was the first time I felt like "wow, those guys, those security researchers, I wanna be one of them". It really opened my eyes to how computer software can be complex, political, puzzling and how an "antivirus" company operates in the backstage. I still remember that one single article as a pivotal point in my life, making me look at software engineering as a career that could also be fun.

I'm sorry, but the extension has a grand total of 14k users.

There are some 368 million DAILY active users on youtube.

It is making claims based on a dataset of roughly 0.0003% of the population of users.

It's a GUESS. A bad one at that, since the people who install that extension are absolutely not representative of the general youtube user.

If we expand it out to the 2.28 BILLION monthly active userbase... the data from the 14k users is basically meaningless.

---

Think of it this way - if you were seconds in the day, those extension users are 25 seconds. if I were to try to measure any sort of meaningful data in a day by using 25 seconds of data, I would likely be horribly, horribly wrong.

Ex: My water company billed me and it's bullshit, I've been carefully tracking usage data for 30 seconds after I wake up every day, and I never measure any usage! Why are they billing me?

Holy cow, I measured our water usage today and we used a whole gallon over the 25 seconds I measured!!! We're blowing through nearly 3000 gallons a day!

---

Both are horribly, horribly wrong estimates. A sample size that small is not very valuable.
The best way to describe this melodrama really is just another explosion in an ant hill in the desert.

This is really just another day of the self-canabalization of Rust and its Foundation and the language so-called 'community' continues to have more ridiculous tantrums and melodrama over the tiniest of all things.

Yet another first world issue of pointless pantomimes which can only be found in Rust.

> with a bit of "temperature tuned" hallucinating at the edges

Hahahaha, that could be too. So we're "legs, hands, eyes, and hallucinating agents" serving our master AI.

I like an image I heard today: life emerged in the primordial sea, and AI emerged in the internet, which is the information sea.
> I have also been on the opposite side of this: I've been a member of groups whose goals I did not agree with. And no amount of civility or communication would bridge that chasm; therefore my opinions and thoughts were excluded (and I voluntarily left).

What if you couldn’t leave? Perhaps the cost of leaving is too high, or you’re required to for a job. Membership in many groups isn’t even a direct action, it’s a by product of some other action. Take functional programming, I love it, but holy fuck I should have known as soon as I saw the word “pure” there’d be fucking Nazis, xenophobes, and bigots.

> Do not insert yourself into a group of people that you know you will not get along with. There is no right or wrong, but there is conflict and no conflict.

Take my functional programming example: I have caused and will cause conflict. Because sometimes “not being an asshole” is actually being an asshole. Life’s full of color like that, you know?

There is a premium price for compactness, but it is not great.

In Europe, the prices, with all taxes included, for an Intel NUC Pro with Raptor Lake vary from around EUR 400 for an i3 CPU with 16 GB of DRAM to around EUR 800 for an i7 CPU with 64 GB of DRAM.

Similar Chinese computers are cheaper. If one searches for a Mini-ITX MB with at least the same number of peripheral interfaces as a NUC and one adds the costs for a CPU of similar performance, for PSU, case, cooler, DRAM and a small discrete GPU, to match the performance of an integrated mobile GPU, it is impossible to build a significantly cheaper computer.

Some economies vs. a NUC can be achieved only by building an even larger computer, with a microATX or ATX MB and by omitting some of the interfaces provided by a NUC, e.g. by not having any USB 4 / Thunderbolt interfaces.

A complete NUC-like computer with a slower Alder Lake-N CPU (e.g. Intel N100) can be found at less than $200, which is a price difficult to match with any bigger computer.

Some people like to point that there are complete laptops that have the same price as NUCs. Nevertheless, those laptops are garbage that I would not use even if offered for free. A NUC is much faster than most laptops that seem to have the same components (due to better cooling) and it has more peripheral interfaces that are also faster. A laptop that matches in features and performance a $800 NUC has typically a price of at least $3000 and it is marketed as a mobile workstation or as a top model of gaming computer.
One app gets your IP address and sells it to data brokers in real time. Another app buys this data and correlates it with IP addresses it knows. In practice, there are hundreds of data points as smartphones are all about data collection.
Yeah this is why the Cuban Missile Crisis was a total farce. Lol to avoid catastrophe you just don’t push the button. Simple! The missiles don’t launch themselves, therefore no risk.
Disney has been underperforming at the box office for a while now. Review bombs are a symptom of not focusing on the product (entertainment, story).

And to my original point, if review bombs are a symptom, then "verified reviewers" is addressing the symptom, not the problem. Same reason YouTube took down dislikes. It was around the time the Rings of Power was getting wrecked by LoTR fans.

Equity is the real thing we should be striving for, not equality. There is a massive difference between the two, and it's very telling that even then, you chose to put quotes around equality.

Maybe when you're asking yourself why the woman has the ultimate choice, you remember that you're not the one carrying the baby to term.
As a Web Extension dev, I can say that Chrome is definitely the go-to platform for developing new extensions, as you basically target most of the market this way (incl. Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc.). Any additional browser, means ofc additional dev time and testing, some of which can be really funky, like Safari.

That said, from the two (the other one being Safari), Firefox is much easier to port the extension to and there's even webextension-polyfill that gets you >95% of the way there (most of the time).
Does it comes with a catchy tracker soundtrack?
As a Ford EV owner I’m conflicted about this.

I don’t like that this is reopening the “charger wars” when CCS seemed settled on (by all non-Tesla brands), even if it’s kind of cumbersome. also having less cars at CCS chargers means less incentive to provide/fix them.

At the same time I understand why they’re doing it.

I’m very curious to see how they do this in the new vehicles. Do they go 100% to the Tesla connector? Or will there be two ports: one Tesla and one CCS. Would those be side-by-side or in different locations? Maybe CCS by the driver (where they have it today) and the tesla port on the passenger front bumper or rear driver side bumper similar to a Tesla so cable length isn’t an issue?

I am glad there will be an adapter. However I am also a little worried that I may end I with some kind of “non-Tesla tax” where are Tesla chargers cost me more than they would a Tesla even though Ford is partnering.
Then again perhaps giving them enhanced cognitive capabilities would only serve to make existence worse for them? In which case, giving them enhanced cognitive capabilities would be morally worse than leaving them as is.

The implication here is that this person was uninvited for pushing a SJW agenda that the author agrees with but that rust’s “shadowy” leadership doesn’t.
Which daytime advertisements are you referring to?
> We can still do both.

I was hoping you'd explain in more detail, so I wont have to assume what your reasoning. By "do both", were you perhaps referring to measures like masks mandates while allowing people move freely? Unsurprisingly, some people felt mandates violated the sanctity of their individual rights too.

But at the same time, groups who are responsible to resolve the homeless issue quote that only 8% of people are out of state based on HIRD research. So what is it?
The end goal of capitalism is to have a monopoly. Same as a state run monopoly.

It’s upto governments to ensure that neither happens.
Oddly enough, a very sizeable portion of customers seem to be aware of core numbers and "memory" size (often confused with disk size, though). The i3-5-7 naming scheme is also pretty widely understood. I used to work at an electronics store when I was a teenager (6-7 years ago, so not that long ago!) and that kind of made it a struggle to steer people who knew just enough to hurt themselves into buying an actually good product. I mean, that MediaTek is an 8 core CPU so why was I trying to sell him a 2/4cores Qualcomm? Or they'd buy a laptop with a Celeron and barely enough flash to fit Windows, but it was a quad core! Obviously better than the 2 core i3 that actually has space to install software lol.

I'd guess 25% of customers knew about those at a superficial level, and another 10% actually knew what they should be looking for.
Please no. Make my dog smarter so she can use the toilet or not roll in poop, great.

I've encountered a few CCS chargers which had a regular card terminal on it to start charging. Tap or insert chipped card, plug in, and it starts charging. It's how they should minimally all be, with plug and charge being an optional extra.
Even that is apparently not the original; see Endermanch's Actual creator of XP Keygen / Future of XP Key Generation https://github.com/TheMCHK/WindowsXPKg/issues/5 .
That really doesn't make sense to me. If your margins are thin then you presumably live on service and repeat business. There's almost certainly a broader explanation for this outcome then "it's not perceived to actually matter."
> But afaik, no one has proffered an adequate word to describe "folks that have too much melanin to be considered white".

Such a word is not necessary or desirable, because the categorization system it supports is not meaningful or useful.
They exist on fewer servers, so they have to be pulled from deeper levels of cache, or maybe even no cache. Popular videos will be cached on edge servers all over the place, and will be quick and easy to deliver.
Now use that same argument about military spending…
My take: YouTube provides the tools, then people use them in a biased way. If liberals in your country are good at technology and conservatives are not, the liberal point of view will look like it's being pushed.

Something happened yesterday to me that really drove it home. An AI scam started showing up for me. Before I realized a scam, I made a comment pointing out that what they were saying was incorrect. They deleted my comment, reported my email address to YouTube as a scammer so shutting me down real quick. It was then I noticed they had 50k subscribers despite only being a couple of days old and they had a product to sell in the description. Clearly, the people behind this account were tech savvy.

tl;dr: The viewpoints of tech savvy groups in your country are going to win out. Info promotion and suppression is not a conspiracy of tech companies.

> If there is no such fine tuning technique [that can prevent prompt injection], then we can effectively rule out fine tuning, and even increases in model size, as an "improvement" in the sense of an LLM making itself into a better AI closer to a "superintelligence".

Could you explain this claim further? Why does the ability to prevent prompt injection hold so much water in your model?

It seems to be just “if able to have a dumb attack be successful, then it cannot be that smart.” But it seems to me that von Neumann or Einstein was just as vulnerable to getting hit in the head with a baseball bat as anyone else.

And in actual practice, increased intelligence seems to increase a person’s capacity to hold inconsistent ideas or to justify morally abhorrent behavior.
>What's stopping the Pi foundation just upping production?

Broadcom

Specifically they for whatever reason refuse to increase production of the chips the Pis use.

But any time you ask why something is wrong in embedded, 50% of the time "broadcom" will be the answer.
C++ templates are not reflection; either compile time or runtime. There is a form of reflection, but that's RTTI, which is a totally different ballgame.
You blame others for your own anxieties that stop you from participating?
these kinds of "social issues" that arise from communities like these are always a huge turn-off for me, and I know I'm not the only one. I don't know enough about this situation or the broader context in which it took place but everything about this post, including some of the original blog post author's own comments, and some of the comments here, reinforces my desire to have nothing to do with "the Rust community", or any other programming "community" like it.

one gets the feeling that people participate in these "communities" for purely social posturing reasons, wholly unrelated to making things with computers, while still retaining the veneer of "being part of and participating in a programming language community", and that just doesn't sit right with me.

one also gets the feeling that, when some fresh drama like this happens, each of these blog posts and responses and whatnot is not-so-secretly a form of opportunistic self-aggrandizing grift.

when one of these "communities" attracts a critical mass of social-posturing drama like this, it's just too easy for an outsider like myself to say, "nah, I'm good, thanks"—and if the goal of the "community" is to make the best programming language possible, surely this must similarly dissuade others who would otherwise be down to spend countless hours actually working on the thing and making it good.

there's good lessons to be learned here all around for anyone aspiring to create a productive "community" around something like a new programming language—take heed!
Independent of mobile phones and treating SAR as the electromagnetic phenomenon it actually is, hell yes. This is what ultimately limits certain types of MRI experiment -- you don't want to cook the patient. The details are complex and involve solving Maxwells equations, and optionally the bio heat equation to model blood flow.

There are plenty of examples of cooking things with large amounts of RF/mmWaves. The physics is very well understood. For some specific examples, have a look at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3469254/, which talks about fields burning the inside of brains, or https://www.ajnr.org/content/34/5/E47, in which an unfortunate girl was burnt by her (silver containing) bra.

Are there any documented cases of a mobile phone causing problems? I don't know of any offhand, but SAR is real and the models that predict it very well validated.

There are a lot of options. Right now I'm using WizardVicunaLM to great success: https://github.com/melodysdreamj/WizardVicunaLM

It combines the uncensored WizardLM data with the Vicuna tuning to create a surprisingly high-performance model. If the chart on their GitHub page is to be believed, their model approaches GPT-3.5 performance.
My understanding is that comments with negative sentiments get held for moderation and bigger channels never go through and approve them so they’re effectively shadow banned comments
Dislikes were a fantastic way to determine if a video had a misleading thumbnail or title at a glance. Now you have to waste time determining if the contents of the video are factual or not, which can become infuriating, especially for technical work that demands accurate information.
He’s got a third now, Children of Memory - it also is quite good. The whole series is really fantastic, although I think I enjoyed the second book with the octopi the most.
I don't get why police would be able to seized phones in the first place.
That's a mischaracterization. The issue is that the yet-unknown member of rust leadership violated the norms, and neither of the two teams involved were able to do anything about it. The problem is not the beef but the way it was handled by the system as a whole.
While there aren't many, there's definitely more than 16. There's like a dozen still online in DFW alone, looking around on Plugshare. Practically every big Nissan dealership has one, and if there's an older EVgo station nearby it probably still has one Chademo connector.

But, for the most part if there's a Chademo plug there's one or more CCS. A Chademo only dispenser is practically a unicorn these days.

Although it’s not a book, you can listen to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast in his Kings of Kings episodes. There, he talks a lot about the struggles (and wars) of the people then and how religion often played a major role. For example, a king would sometimes "safe" a village’s statue of their god which would be like taking their power away from the perspective of the villagers.
