First to mention crypto?

Okay, crypto.

I'm of course not suggesting "crypto solves all the problems."

I am absolutely suggesting -- it feels like a lot of the haters of crypto forget how absolutely mediocre of a job everything else does with "money" too.
Most don't. Because it is not useful for them to preserve the relative distance.

However https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locality-sensitive_hashing is class of hash functions designed to preserve distance.

> In other words, these are hash functions where the relative distance between the input values is preserved in the relative distance between the output hash values; input values that are closer to each other will produce output hash values that are closer to each other.
It looks like they are doing some sort of dynamic text justification. If I change the text width by resizing the window it dynamically inserts hyphens at line breaks. Presumably via some javascript library.
I didn't mean exclusively a flash drive. Since this is a RPi 3+, any SSD used to boot is going to be a USB attached SSD.
Ah, from ciechanow.ski, so upvoted instinctively. Only then I realised this is from 2022. Anyway, it's nice to see this post again.
In my book, Tesla gets a bad rap for providing an unvalidated, should-be safety-critical system to run-of-the-mill consumers without an accompanying Safety Management System.

The fact that they profit handsomely off this structurally dangerous wrongdoing is just the cherry on top.

And, without robustly maintaining a systems safety lifecycle (which, by necessity, must incorporate a Safety Management System)... no technical progress is quantifiable by anyone, including Tesla.

Tesla effectively throws a system over-the-wall and throws it all on the human driver and on the public.
The use case is to transfer energy from the main grid on the mainland to an outlying island. Most islands are not that far out.
Can anyone run the math on how many megawatt hours a full oil tanker might be for comparison?

Is the ratio something like this? 41 to 0.5? 82x?
No, but they are now rapidly making reasons for users to move.
The only thing that is lacking from this site is darkmode, using extensions to fix this problem is tedious in my opinion. Otherwise I love everything about it.
Except AI clearly isn't equivalent to a "random person" - as I said, I'm talking about a foreseeable future where we have good reason to trust AI technology as a go-to source for, say, basic medical diagnoses or advice on how to undertake home or device repairs etc. I would think it's not so dissimilar to the responsibility the media has for not distributing potentially dangerous information that the public would otherwise be expected to trust and potentially act on. The difference being that AI-generated content is very much disconnected from the actions/decisions/input of any one human being.
There have been a variety of vulnerabilities in telnetd as well, so you should think twice if you don't have absolute trust in your users.
10baseT would imply a hub, but 10base2 is “thinnet” (because the cable was thinner than the previous standard) where a coax cable runs between all devices on the segment, with no central device connecting them together.

KDE has option to swap ctrl and meta or ctrl alt and meta depending on your keyboard. If you then map meta to ctrl in the kconsole settings things are very mac like.

KDE even has good global menu
The commenter specifically used the word nonplussed in reference to the ranking of this post on the front page. The fact that their surprise and confusion stems from the promotion of unimpressive stories does not change the meaning from surprised and confused to unimpressed.
Human vision is simply converting rays of visible light sensed by our light sensors (aka eyes) into electric signals which are subsequently converted into an image by our brain which is then processed.

Given that, perceiving the environment with radar, lidar, visible light, infrared, and so on is equivalent to human vision.

As far as I'm aware, Tesla uses more than just visible light sensors. Am I wrong in my understanding?
Never tried this, great tip!
Put them in an electric catapult and deliver them by air using parachutes to slow them for landing.
We trained a large language model and had it deployed for multiple month last year (Cedille.ai, largest open source LLM for French at the time). We had multiple companies experimenting with it to use it in production. There were multiple occurrences where we got feedback about "the model having gotten significantly better". But the model in prod was never altered.
Unless their approach is completely unworkable, which by all appearances it is. It doesn't matter how much you bet if it's on the wrong horse.

Tesla's own systems from five years ago, when they used a proper sensor suite, worked better than what they ship today.
I am confused why he is upset. He has built a big business for himself on the back of Reddit. Reddit realizes that he is extracting value from their platform, since they aren’t able to harvest ad review, discourages registers, etc.

Now Reddit wants rent to compensate for the lost ads. My guess Reddit also noticed most people using Apollo doesn’t create content, so Apollo users are just extracting value from Reddit.

I’d like to see the hard numbers before having an opinion about who yo be upset with.
Anecdotal but, on a small dose of LSD I was able to conduct a business meeting better than sober (short term memory and concentration greatly enhanced).

Meanwhile, I once had the bright idea of using marijuana to help me relax while working,
and ended up delivering an entire street of mail to the wrong street.

So, if I had to pick one... On the other hand, microdosing worked for me only for a few weeks, then seemed to ruin my life (see my other comment in this thread) so I certainly wouldn't recommend that lightly either.
Sure. I guess my reality is the one that's compatible with our laws.
Oppo Find N2 review: Beautiful hardware that Android just can’t deal with
Nothing you said is wrong, I just really, truly don’t care. FSD makes fewer mistakes on routes I drive than it did a year ago, so whatever they’re doing seems to be working. Complaining that people like me shouldn’t be allowed to purchase safety critical software just deepens my resolve to keep using it.
The proof doesn't have to be constructive
Thanks for the suggestions. I considered making a manual of sorts but didn't want it to delay releasing the game any further--and like you mentioned, it's basically MULE.

The readme file supplied in the downloaded ZIP file does outline some of the new menu elements and a few other aspects.

The "server unreachable" message is a response to the list servers being unable to connect to your local host after you have started a locally hosted online game.

The "remote host" feature is one that is currently not getting as much love as it should--I set up a small handful of servers in different regions to host games for people so they don't have to bother with their router.

I was going to make a snarky comment about how this boat now enables rich countries to exploit desert nations rich in solar-energy.
The problem is that the complexity is hidden in the edge cases. And those edge cases are non obvious and deadly.

To put it succinctly, the difference in safety between a car manufactured in 1953 vs 2023 is not fully obvious to a driver who has not been in an accident.

Google had a self driving car over 10 years ago, that is at the level of FSD, but their approach is to go straight to L5 for safety.

Again though, Eliza, where is this force happening?
It depends. if you're getting generous equity and the company has a good chance of growing, then it can be a worthwhile gamble while you're young.
I am hoping that "yum install telnetd" is going to give me something safe.

For our VAX? Oh boy...
I feel like I'll have to read up some more to have the background to fully understand the article but one thing I wanted to point out is a difference between `fn rand_int(rand: &mut Random) -> i64` and `fn rand_int(ran: Random) -> (i64, Random)`, at least in Rust. With the version that moves `Random`, the return type is bigger and may spill over from registers to the stack which may cause a significant slow down, more than the code of Vale's generation check, I suspect.

I've run into this with my parser combinator library, winnow [0], and am considering switching from the nicer functional model of moving to the more imperative model of `&mut` [1].

be careful with Zelle, if you send to the wrong person / get scammed, there's no way you're getting that money back. With Venmo / PayPal, you have a much better shot.

Socat doesn't support STARTTLS. If you want to debug SMTP submission "openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect server:587" is awesome. Just take care not to use upper case "R" or "Q". Man, why did they implement rekeying and quit in such a bothersome way. Just use recipient and quit instead of RECIPIENT and QUIT.
Fascinating philosophical question: if an AI observes a stream of bytes but doesn't decode a camera's output into an image -- and yet can raise an alarm if the camera is aimed at a certain class of subject -- does the AI "see" the camera image?

They should have named the system "Blindsight"[1].

Apple has a serious corporate concern about proposed legal requirements to detect and report child porno[2], while other legal requirements try to protect user privacy. This appears to be an attempt to say, "We can detect your CP image storage without ever actually looking at your stored images."

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_to_Prevent_and_Comb...
In terms of processing raw bytes, inference on raw camera data, bypassing the ISP, is a more relevant application. This can reduce latency in camera inference.
How about existing on the west coast?
They're not obligated to give up that control under existing securities laws. I'm saying they should be.

It seems like in your world non-voting shares are immoral.

Yes. It promotes unaccountable rentier capitalism, and I do not consider market price signals alone a sufficient check on human greed to yield optimal outcomes. The oft-stated benefits of price theory depend on a market in which perfect competition obtains (total transparency, zero cost to entry or exit of the market, completely fungible commodities), and most markets are not that simple.

Laypeople are poorly equipped to speculate about highly specialized work (such as executive management). Dunning Kruger applies here. You didn't actually answer my question though: assuming you're not a Netflix shareholder, why does it matter to you what Netflix pays their executives? Haven't Netflix earned their money? Doesn't that give them the right to distribute it as they see fit? What is the basis for your claim otherwise?

I don't owe you an answer, especially not with this rude hectoring behavior. Work on your manners.

It matters because corporations enjoy great legal protections by being able to operate within a wealthy and highly developed polity, and by accumulating wealth are also able to shape that polity by lobbying for favorable tax, regulatory treatment and so on. So in that sense, executive compensation is a topic of general public interest because executives have an outside impact on social norms and future policy. As far as Netflix is concerned, the company has earned its money but some of that money has been earned on the backs of writers, who have offered a good argument for why they are underpaid relative to historical standards. As a writer and WGA member myself, I'm in favor of Netflix giving writers a better deal rather than merely exploiting their market dominance. And while the shareholder resolution is not binding, apparently a majority of the owners of Netflix also feel that writers' contributions to the firm's success has been undervalued and expressing their opinion on how that wealth should be distributed.

As I said earlier, if you don't want to be accountable to a large group of owners, don't become a publicly traded company. Stay private, govern the corporation by fiat, and and do what you want within the law. It might take a little longer to achieve market dominance in your industrial sector, but if the world is truly meritocratic then success is presumably assured.
If they're doing that then why are they following the Tumblr playbook? Reducing access to pornography, making user hostile changes. Next thing they'll hire Marissa Meyer probably.
My guess would be that pretty much everybody knows that this mental model is wrong, which is why the author considered it appropriate to jokingly play naive, because just calling it "bizarre" felt too weak.
The top comment on the article is at least as insightful as the article. The commenter, Pascal Montjovent, said, "Clients and agencies have started to cut down on delivery times and budgets. Faith in the expertise of professionals has plummeted."

That's the real impact of the new publicly available LLMs: clients will now expect professionals in many fields to use AI for a lot of their work. Many of us now have to find creative ways to use AI, otherwise we're likely to be out-competed by those who do. We'll soon have to justify the times we don't use AI.
Some of which are used to generate content, which other people consume. That's how web 2.0 works.
No, they didn't just say that, that was the problem. They said that there was no evidence to support the idea that masks were effective against COVID-19. This is the usual weasel word approach of saying "there is no evidence" to support something to lead people to thinking there is counterevidence, which there wasn't. Once they started lying to people this way, it was over.

The proper messaging was: "we need to keep the mask supply up for medical workers if it turns out masks are effective in helping reduce their exposure. we don't know yet if masks are effective, they might be, and we are researching this right now as fast as we can. in the meantime, it seems prudent to assume they may help, and we ask the public to avoid buying masks for the time being while we increase the supply so our medical workers can have them."
Itch.io has a section where install instructions are supplied but it looks like you don't see them until the files are actually downloadable and only after clicking the button to download.

Zips with EXE and APP (Mac) files. Unzip and click the MULE icon.

I didn't bother until this game was released but the Itch.io desktop app does a good job at making install & launch easy (Steam-ish). And it will update when updates come available--and they will be!
Yeah, hashing for spatial data is a fairly common technique (and not invented for that paper). It totally makes sense for applications where there is a need to index sparse data in a potentially very large or even unbounded physical space. There's some hashes that are specialized for keys that are 3-dimensional points or voxel coordinates, but almost any off-the-shelf hash will do if applied to say, the concatenated indices of a voxel in a given coordinate frame.
It's not like programmers normally get everything right first time.
No. Not a hub. That was 10baseT.

10base2 was a coaxial cable (RG-58) shared by all devices. Each would have a T-splitter and there would be a terminator plug at the end. Removing that would cause half the network to stop working. Before that there was also another standard with ticker cable (RG-213) called 10Base5 but that was before my time. 10Base2 was still the way the network worked everywhere in my college though.

It was expensive and messy. Technically it worked a bit like a hub but it was a very different topology. At least physically (electrically it wasn't too different from how a hub shares its signals)
This 16 inch laptop has 2560x1600 resolution. If you set it to 200% then that's the equivalent of 800 pixels which is what you expect in a 13 inch laptop. For a 16 inch laptop there's not enough pixels.

Why set it to 200%? Because as Steve Jobs has explained, the only resolution that looks good after 100% is 200%. Then 400%. If you set it any in-between scale (such as 150% or 300%) then you will have display artifacts, such as horizontal lines appearing to have different widths when they are all in fact set to 1px.
Same; I made a ~/bin/telnet that does:

#!/bin/sh
nc -v "$1" "${2:-23}"

Obviously it doesn't do the telnet protocol when run on port 23 (note the real telnet client disables the telnet handshake when port != 23, which is why it's useful as a generic TCP client anyway), but this basically keeps my muscle memory happy and it's clear from the output what's happening.
What about them? It's not like any of this technology requires a Javascript implementation to run.
In Intel’s case, they have their own SD-based project (OpenVINO AI Plugins for GIMP), instead of putting effort into popular SD projects.

Bash is more common than telnet:

Yeah, this is in reference to RHEL and friends. Generally the LO version is older.
There is nothing chemical that can change the radioactivity of the waste. The remaining waste is more radioactive after reprocessing since the fissile material is less radioactive.

What vitrification can do is put waste in safer form that don't have to worry about escaping or polluting. It ends up as safe, very radioactive, glass.
The devs could spend more time optimizing their apps to make fewer requests rather than coordinating a strike and running to the press.
I wouldn't use LiPo cells, especially consumer ones, for anything that stays on 24/7 and unattended in rural areas. LiFePo4 ones are safer and more durable although for medium/low current solar powered devices with backup battery, Lead Acid might still be a viable, cheap and very safe choice. Unfortunately the author area isn't served by broadband, so he's forced to rely on mobile connectivity, which restricts the options wrt available router devices. I would have either used a (more costly) external DC powered (no internal battery) router supplied by a 12V battery and the solar panel, or modified the portable one to work only through external supply.
Also, the author says the SD card in the Raspberry Pi developed errors. This is normal as SD cards are quite unreliable and prone to errors with time and use; I would have used a eMMC capable board, plus external disk with moderately aggressive spin down (to save power) for data storage.

Isn't this what LLMs are all about, cloning the proper use of language from the internet?
Might be dumb questions, but what's the background rate of these rashes in the general population? What fraction of that population received a first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine?

These two cases occurred 7 days and 8 days after the affected individual's first vaccine dose. How many other people experienced the same type of rash due to some unknown trigger without recent vaccination? How were these two rash cases actually linked to the vaccine? Is the 1+ week delay implicitly deemed close enough to assume a causal link?
When you create an alternative to big tech sites, you end up with the people who can't or won't use big tech sites. It's usually the former, and they suck. You get Nazis, commies, anarchists, and all the sorts of people whose posts you don't want to see between memes and cute animal pictures. It takes effort to prevent these people from taking over your website and driving away the normies.
It so sad it's almost funny.

Have you heard the one about "our open office plan is meant to enhance the opportunities for collaboration?"
Don't use telnet to connect to non-telnet servers. Use nc. :)

iGPUs aren’t necessarily the worst solution where the problem is one where “can I do it at all” is often constrained by RAM available to the GPU, even if dGPUs have better compute performance.
> Nothing you said is wrong, I just really, truly don’t care. ... Complaining that people like me shouldn’t be allowed to purchase safety critical software just deepens my resolve to keep using it.

You do understand that people are concerned about setting these cars free on public roads, right, where they can kill unwilling participants? I don't think the concern here is about your freedom to choke on billionaire boots.
No, it isn't, because a secure channel isn't the only thing SSH does to secure remote access. Consider that large fleet operators tend to use certificate authentication with SSH, and then work out how to replace that cleanly with telnet or rsh.

There is something to the idea of drafting off of WireGuard's security! We have a WireGuard mesh internally, and I would push back on deploying something like mTLS on top of it. But we still need something like SSH to manage (not just encrypt, but manage) access.
...or, has facilitated a large number of contributions to the site in terms of posts, comments, votes, views, community building and fluidity, and user stickiness.

I can't see the relationship between Apollo and Reddit as singularly one sided.
> My guess Reddit also noticed most people using Apollo doesn’t create content, so Apollo users are just extracting value from Reddit.

If content is created in the woods and no one is there to view it, did it create value?
How do hifi speaker vendors justify such ridiculous prices when most studio monitors are way better priced than that? Insane.
LOL! Do you live in the USA?

They'll just turn down the meeting request, tell your supervisor what you've done and you'll suffer either real punishment or be unofficially 'punished'. You may even be fired because of "at-will" employment: Anyone can be fired for (almost) any reason at any time.

Generally you just don't get time off, or maybe you can take the time off without pay (if they're extra generous). Such is life in the USA, there is no response: You will do what the owners of capital say, or you will go hungry.

That's all there is to it.
This comment is simultaneously one of the funniest, saddest, and most re-affirming of my (GP) idea that I could’ve imagined.

The response from ChatGPT is definitely “more” of the idea, but also so bland, and without critically exploring the topic at all. Regardless, thanks for the effort to share!
"Currently named "Battery Tanker X," the prototype won't be going very far. Pushing a vessel through draggy water is a nightmare for battery-powered electric propulsion systems, so the ship's maximum range before it burns through too much battery to make the trip economically feasible is slated at just 300 km (186 miles).

A full production "Power Ark" the same size, says PowerX, might move about 4,190 GWh of electricity annually from renewable sources in Hokkaido to meet demand in Aomori just 100 km (62 miles) away, making use of transmission infrastructure already in place but soon to be abandoned as fossil fuel-based generation capacity is gradually shut down. "

I'm reading a lot of comments seemingly missing these details. Interesting and seems to be useful in Japan's geography that I'm not personally used to thinking about.
