The underlying motivation is to have assholes take a closer look at themselves instead of continuously blaming those around them for what ultimately is the result of their own actions.

If this struck such a nerve with you, then you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate why you're so deeply triggered by people advocating for introspection instead of deflection.

It's pretty clear from your comment you won't, but that's a separate issue.
Thanks! I'm very excited to see it. You can submit any Python program as long as it produces an output of some kind without human intervention. More details are here: https://pyobfusc.com/#rules
> Same with fudging credit card tips. I HEARD of that happening exactly once.

It happened to me a couple years ago. Got a copy of the receipt where they wrote their own tip, which I could trivially prove since I had a picture of the receipt as I left it. The bar tried to blame it on a random customer. Yeah, OK. Informed everyone in the big group I was with that the place tries to steal from you and have never been back. You have now heard of that happening exactly twice.
Affixing (TM) does not make something an enforceable trademark. Trademark rights are established by use of the mark in commerce. A (TM) is used to put others on notice that a word or design is being used as a trademark, which could potentially be evidence of the intent of an alleged infringer in a subsequent lawsuit. Intent is relevant because it affects damages and other remedies.
but have you had snow crab legs? this also seems like it could quickly become a freedom of religion debate, if your religion tells you to have a BBQ, you have a BBQ
In that case, I'd expect to see more obvious correlation between areas where people were fairly observant of masking rules in public and a lower incidence of disease. AFAIK, that correlation is weak at best in general.
The article shows example running on RPI that recognizes colour names. I could just come up with keywords that would invoke certain commands and feed them to HA, which would match them to an automation (i.e. turn off kitchen, or just kitchen ) . I think a PoC is doable, but I'm aware I could run into limitations quickly. Idk might give it a try when I'm bored.

Would love voice assistant running locally but probably there are solutions out there - didn't get to do the research yet
If such an absurd ruling were to be taken at face value, these creatures would be owed human rights.
I did read that and find it interesting, but without knowing it was now filtering contextually (awesome!), I didn't consider it for the codebases I was looking at due to the context size needed. Seems like keyword matching vs semantic/index search at first glance but I see you are indeed pushing the envelope here.

Great to see, thanks again for developing it.
You can't kill chrome because there is no alternate tech. Everything is chromium, or follows it (except safari).
Here's a lecture by Robert Sapolsky where he goes into some theories involving schizotypal individuals (and other mental disorders) and culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwAQqWUkpI

Long story short, the theory goes that being schizotypal (but not full-blown schizophrenic) could be an advantageous trait in human society, usually by filling some spiritual, ritual, or religious role in the group. These people are high status in their societies, and have many chances for passing on their genes.
I’d love to understand the interaction effects between 1) acceleration toward singularity (prob approaching c?), 2) gravity (prob approaching infinity?), 3) distance compression experienced by infalling observer.

My instinct is that the observer would subjectively experience it to take exactly the time predicted by classical mechanics to “hit” the singularity — basically that all the considerations above would cancel out in the local reference frame — but that to an outside observer it would take an infinite amount of time.
Followed every rule perfectly? That sounds about right. That's really not that important though.

But half of the US at least is actively hostile to doing anything to help anyone. Our society is broken and doomed.
The experience configuring sendmail is worse than configuring icewm if you want to play audio files.
Er, I'd say most people would find that pretty unpleasant, yeah.

Well, that is: there's two different ways a video like this might be horrifying. There's a kind of visceral horror: blood, guts, and also a kind of instinctive empathy for the suffering that the creature getting killed might be going through (great time to point out that octopuses are much more intelligent than mice and, depending on how you feel about a bunch of tricky philosophical questions, there's probably more "there there" to be suffering). Like I said, I think most people would be pretty horrified, in this sense, by a video like that.

The other kind of horror is a moral horror. And in that case...well, a cat is a cat, not a human, I don't expect them to act humanely. So in that particular moral sense the "cat eats mouse" video isn't horrifying. Whereas: I do have a moral expectations that humans should act humanely, which a Youtube video featuring people eating a live octopus violates, triggering moral horror.
Sure... CO2 capture => Fischer-Tropsch => wax => fatty acid => food. The CO2 capture part is new, and presumably one would use solar now, but the rest was attempted during WW2.

A species is not some kind of treasured unique token. It's not a thing. It's a process. It only seems like a thing because humans like to find patterns and give them names.

Outside of practical considerations wrt. biodiversity, why should we care? I mean, if you don't think individual members of a species are entitled to a good life, or at least life free of needless cruelty - then why would you care about their species? Conversely, if you think the species should be saved for reasons other than entertainment or practicality, then I think it only makes sense if you think individuals of that species deserve better conditions.
If I can jump in a cage with a wild tiger, or a giant pot of boiling water, hands down I'll die by tiger.

Nature has a lot of horrible deaths, don't get me wrong.

But boiling sensory wise (at least for humans) is similar to immolation (being burned alive) and it unfortunately takes longer to actually kill the person than burning them alive.

Tigers naturally kill prey quickly to avoid injury, often going for the neck.

Really impressive work and I've asked this before, but is it really a good thing to have basically the whole library in a single 16k line file?
i'm pretty sure you're wrong. or at least, you're directly contradicted by the apple docs, which say "The other key is private, and is what is needed to actually sign in. The server never learns what the private key is." https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT213305

I'd be willing to put $100 on longbets to say our universe is inside a singularity, but I doubt anyone who remembers I existed will still be alive when we figure it out.
What you've described doesn't appear to depend on usage of internet-connected mobile devices. The research in this area looks at cellular-connected devices, not just access to a laptop/Chromebook/tablet that requires wifi. Was this kid using a smartphone to engage with these communities? I would think this would be unnecessary, and that s/he could have participated via computer and gotten much of the same value (with fewer issues related to FOMO). But I don't know what the situation was. Can you share more?
Yup, this is why Facebook groups still exist. My Gran can’t start a sewing subreddit but can click groups on Facebook. This is just the next level of that.
Congrats on the launch! Seems like a really fun project to work on. And thanks for sharing what you can :)
You're anthropomorphizing animals.

They don't have an even remotely similar conception of being to you.
Absolutely. A large part of the reason is that in the OSS world the architecture is optimised to make as much as possible common between drivers for different hardware.

For example for GPU drivers Mesa has tons of common code (NIR, GLSL parser etc) that is shared by all drivers with just the hardware specific parts being per driver whereas closed source vendor drivers reinvent the wheel each time.

Similarly for kernel wifi drivers there is a single MAC802.11 stack shared by all drivers.

Vendor drivers have an initial head start since those writing them have access to internal documents describing the hardware interface and don't have to do reverse engineering. But, over time, OSS drivers can be better as improvements to common code help all drivers.

In fact I think the best way hardware vendors could help OSS is not to provide drivers but documentation.
Yea, it is "cruel" to want to keep the money for which you work and not give it to people who refuse to work. Utter and complete nonsense.
I have experience with both: multiple deeply-integrated cons objects that satisfy the consp function, as well as allowing non-cons objects (including classes in the OOP sense) to take operations like car and cdr.

Once you merely go from one cons type to two, with their own tags, every place in the run-time which checks for a cons cell has to now check for two possible type tags. An atom is everything that is not a cons, as you know, so that function is also affected.

(I wonder whether it wouldn't be better to just have one cons tag, and use some flag field to distinguish lazy conses.)

"All" is doing a lot of work there. My experience in Massachusetts, for example, is that there was quite a high rate of compliance with public masking rules in general. Yes, some people were sloppy about wearing them and many wore less effective masks. But I saw very little outright refusal in indoor public places.
Agreed, at least it wasn't "Sequoia splitting into three branches"
I get your point but it’s always good to know where a bias might be.
You've missed the point here more than I've seen anyone miss the point in a long time.

Yup and the US can pull its military bases out of Germany as well as remove troops from the European theater more generally and let them defend themselves.
This is interpretation. The ERA failed to pass so as we’ve seen recently interpretation can be changed.
Nice, i use ssh tunnelling under the hood. The advantage of the local install is zero subscription/registration process, persistent tunnels to start with, it takes care of authentication and hosting custom domains without any other steps, which was the primary usecase i was after.
You're right. The government should just pay people to stay home, smoke weed, and play video games.

Milking the daycare would look the same as people feeling less obligated to pick up on time, now that they are compensating the provider for the extra time spent.
I agree with the sentiment but I'd love to see some numbers to that effect.

Here's my lousy attempt (someone more fluent in math than me, please correct because these numbers seem crazy to me so I concede the high probability that I am wrong).

Let's say I want to stream hd picture so bandwidth requirement would be roughly 3MB/s. That's what I presume it takes to deliver one second of hd video to a single person. Let's assume that there is some mighty compression in play and that brings it down to 1mb/s.

Let's assume I became popular enough that my servers are streaming data 24/7. that's 86 400 seconds so 86 400MB ~ 86GB. Per day. For one person to get my awesome video content constantly.

Most VPS providers give certain amount of bandwidth with the initial offerings. I am using Digital Ocean as reference which means roughly that for each 5$ (the cheapest VPS) you get 1tb (or 1000 GB) of bandwidth until they start billing for more.

So for "free" you get to send data to 1000 / 86GB = 11.6 ~ 12 people max until you start getting billed extra. Per day.

DO bills 0.01$ per GB over the limit. If it takes 86GB to deliver content 24/7 to one person, imagine a thousand. That's 860$. Per day.

Let's add some server costs and extra transfer for all the youtube-ish ui experience and I think we can land to a solid 1000$. Per. Day.
>It also induces different states by way of imperceptible stimuli and measured the response

Are you sure? Am I missing that part? I see this:

>Other tricks to infer cognitive state involved quickly flashing visuals or sounds to a user in ways they may not perceive, and then measuring their reaction to it.

But that doesn't say they're inducing states but rather trying to figure out the state. Trying to understand if someone is mad does not seem quite as dystopian as trying to make someone mad.

HP Dev one works well, kudos to System76 for the desktop env.

It has the worst LCD panel I've seen in many years. It's not the resolution just poor contrast and poor color accuracy. It pains me to see it.

They went on sale recently, I bought one, and shortly afterwards (a few months ago) they stopped selling them.
I thought they basically did out of one or two with a (large) hospital and airbase…. The troops went elsewhere and the equipment came home. Googling says 35k troops in Germany, but doesn’t break down by service arm.

Edit: without the nato airbases it’s a long flight trying to redeploy from N America to, say, the Middle East. Having client states partway keeps troops secure in transit and provides a place to organize/redeploy.
They’re neat, but they come with the pretty big downside of it not being immediately clear it’s a QR code.
Something I've never quite understood is the (tacit) judgment that the end of the human race would be a bad thing, and that creating more people is inherently a good thing. And in fact, that it would maybe be acceptable to allow a large fraction of people to suffer if it ensured the propagation of humanity.

It makes sense why this is such a common judgment – individuals with the drive to reproduce and ensure the perpetuation of their progeny are more likely to have surviving progeny, so the population is dominated by this kind of individual.

But people talk about a species as if it was a living individual. It's not! a species can't feel hurt; its members can feel hurt. A species cannot prefer to continue to live (over the millenia); its members can prefer to live (for the duration of their own time on earth).

In some cases talking about a species is just metonymy, or shorthand, but in other cases I don't think that usage fits. For example, if "we must ensure the human race persists" is just shorthand, it's shorthand for "people should have children", and it's strange to insist that other persons have the personal desire to have children.

When someone is suffering, e.g. from depression, we can encourage them to continue to live for hope of a time where they aren't suffering (by helping them imagine a plausible, happier future), which to them might be worth enduring their present circumstances. In other words, we want to help them make a better-informed decision about their own life or death by reminding them that their current outlook is strongly colored by their current mental state.

But when it comes to a species, the future will not be experienced by any of its currently living members – it will be experienced by individuals who don't yet exist! And if they are never born, they've not been robbed of life or had a preference violated (because there's no one to rob or disregard).

The philosophy is much more complicated than I'm presenting, but I wanted to say something on the matter, if only because it's the sort of questioning I wish I saw more often.
one law at a time
The places high in observence of safety protocols are cities, which are more dense, and they have a decent proportion of Republicans anyway. The different cities you might be able to compare (eg between different states that had different messaging and rules) are in different climates, so that ruins comparison as well.

It’s already getting weird. If you’re not going to some kind of party and the weather doesn’t support a blazer or sport coat, there’s no reason to be wearing it.

Got your point. I only saw it from a very limited technical understanding of how ARKit works and how shared experiences can be achieved on a framework level.

Not explicitly mentioning shared experiences other than video calls at all could also indicate this is not the way it should be framed (by focusing on the collaborative aspects that exist "today").

The price sure point prevents me and my family members from casually trying this experience.

I was merely suggesting that the technology for shared experiences already exists in the form of shared anchors.

You could be right wrt "if they didn’t mention it explicitly it's not part of their (currently) intended experience", but it might as well be due to "spatial computing" being sth that primarily will be shaped by their adopters along the way, which is something different than a corporation plotting the experience up front (as might be the case with metaverse?).
From a technical standpoint it doesn't make a lot of sense.

CCTVs in cities are a big political topic. For corridors that people walk through often, this is much more effective for facial recognition and you don't have to power propellers or deal with crashes. The camera will operate for a decade without incident.

For overhead algorithmic surveillance, just use satellite photos. I fully expect that sat swarms in LEO surveillance will become a thing in my lifetime. Sure there are clouds, but the whole thing is imperfect, the goal isn't to track you 100% of the time and they don't need to anyway.

For persistent surveillance, drones are good for what exactly? Periodically peeking in windows? How many windows would a drone need to look in on a patrol? Can you fly them low enough to actually do this? On a regular route at that, my god.

I'm very worried about tracking with facial recognition and systematic location collecting based on cell signals and satellite car tracking. But this article was about a drone catching people smoking weed after a busybody called 911. The tech is a very marginal sideshow in that story.
Bring them home, they don't like our weapons.

I admit it's been a while (2 years) since I last played with Nvidia/CUDA (on Jetson) and back then running CUDA inside Docker was still somewhat arcane, but in my experience, whatever the Nvidia documentation lays out works well until you want to 1) cut down on container image size (important for caches and build pipelines) and, to this end, understand what individual deb packages and libraries do, 2) run the container on a system different from the official Nvidia Ubuntu image.

Back then the docs were just awful. Has this really changed that much in recent times?
