UTF-8 was invented by people who were sufficiently fed up with the shortcomings of Unix that they created a quite incompatible but much improved evolution of it. And it's not just some hack for the sake of backwards compatibility at the cost of other properties, it's a vastly superior design compared to the then existing unicode encodings.

And there is no serious backwards compatibility problem. You just introduce a mount option to enforce utf-8, flip it to default after a say a decade, and people who then still have file systems with pathnames in latin-1 (or other craziness) can then flip it off and get a few extra decades to migrate their stuff. In the meantime the rest of the world just writes software under the assumption that it will be deployed to non-crazy installs, and software becomes magically more reliable and quicker to write.

And it's not like even 1% of software now would handle non-utf-8 filenames robustly anyway (I mean even if you are aware of the problem and diligent about it, there is absolutely no good way to deal with non-utf8 filenames if you need to output them as text for consumption by humans or other programs, which is close to 100% of cases, because at the very least you will need to do so in error messages if there is an IO problem).
Sure, but he isn't the entire industry, either.
Does anyone have high level guidance on when (deep) RL is worth pursuing for optimization (e.g. optimizing algorithm design) rather than other approaches (e.g genetic)?
I find the 3 and 4 liter bottles of water are the same price at most gas stations. Of course the 3 liter bottles are on display where they are easy to find, while the 4 liter is hidden where only the price sensitive will find them. (4 liters is also one us gallon, and one you have a container you find one gallon refills vending machines that a very cheap, and those vending machines probably have better water)
I had used a Dvorak layout for a few years and loved it. Ultimately, I switched back to Qwerty for a few fairly practical reasons:

1) Every video game I've ever played has had key bindings with Qwerty (or a controller) in mind. I would estimate that roughly 60%-ish of those games permit for some level of keyboard remapping. When remapping is possible, there will be bewildering exceptions for certain actions. When it's not possible, they are impossible to play.

Yes, I am aware you can switch between different layouts through the OS easily enough, but after I had gotten used to a letter being in a specific spot for Dvorak, and then being prompted to press it in a Qwerty layout, I found myself mis-typing extremely frequently for button prompts. It also became a chore to switch between them if I was in the middle of playing, then wanted type out a quick message in instant messenger.

2) Random bugs. I had noticed that for whatever reason, some programs just seemed to have some kind of issue with Dvorak layouts. I can't think of any specifics, it's been at least a decade since then, but it was something bizarre like: program recognizes that I was using a Dvorak layout except if I was using a keyboard shortcut.

3) It was weird that my cellphone was in a Qwerty layout but my computer wasn't. I seem to recall having a lot of issues trying to get Dvorak to work as the default layout.

4) I shared the computer with another family member. They complained that they had to learn the new layout. I convinced them it would improve their typing speed and they agreed. Eventually, they also started going to the library to do some research, which of course had a Qwerty layout. This caused an incredible amount of grief for them. Ultimately, this is the reason I switched back.

5) I seem to remember programming in general just being more uncomfortable in Dvorak. I think the punctuation I needed was in the upper left(?) which put a lot of extra strain on my left pinky.

I liked Dvorak quite a bit, but it just felt impractical. The world I live in just feels like it's setup for Qwerty, inefficient as that layout may be. I see it like if someone chose to become left-handed. You could do it, but if an much more popular method exists, and there is extra effort in going with the less popular one, for what amounts to the same outcome, why go through the struggle?

If things were to suddenly switch tomorrow, I'd gladly switch back, I just don't see much point in fighting for such a thing when we have a solution that is close enough.
I think the most charitable interpretation of OP is that there is no controversy over the fact that pagan Semites practiced ritual human (child) sacrifice.

Not giving away the software for free would be a good start. There are many ways to charge people for software.

You don't actually have freedom, there is still a uniform. The same thing will happen if you wear a suit to a jeans and a T shirt office as if you wore jeans and a T shirt to a suit office.
A simple fact of history being controversial is a function of bias. The worship of Moloch and its attendant ritual of child sacrifice is attested to in many scriptures.
Curious why they chose the 6800 -- it turns out the 6809 didn't come out till 1978, but there was the 6502.
> ...vi type movements...

Can attest vi movements can be learned on Dvorak. But have to admit it is not quite as nice, those movements were designed for qwerty.

Of course "j" and "k" are next to each other on Dvorak. "h" and "l" are also positioned at first and fourth fingers like qwerty... but on different rows and on different hand than "j/k". Which means Dvorak requires two-handed vi movements.

Maybe not a big deal, vi shortcuts mean moving all over the keyboard anyway. Just not quite as nice.
I have no expertise in this field but from what I gather many of these special cases (like the Like-Like eating your equipment) is a new component type on the enemy entity in an ECS architecture.
Binance operates out of the US and I'm not confident they would comply with a subpoena. Maybe they're using some chat service with a US presence which is subpoenable -- Slack or whatever.
> So I wouldn't blame the consumers (btw this term always sounds like slur to me as compared to customers)

Agree. I try to avoid using the term "consumer" except maybe when it's talking about actually consuming things (such as food and drink).

The issue is that w/ decades of muscle-memory, having vim keys change position is a no-go.
> is a bit hyperbolic

Well, I had to articulate something that will ring true (or at least be quoted) for at least a thousand years. You can't do that with measured expressions.

But on the main point, outward manifestation of deep crisis makes indeed for pop-corn consumption but I don't think I really exaggerate if I say that the crisis was a death moment for an entire industry. The resurrection worked. But it brought back a zombie.

The foundational myth of the financial sector, its calling card to society has been shredded. While in a world of TINA's the gainful milking of broken financial / banking systems continues unabated, this is not enough for a sector "to own the future" and NPV an infinite stream of cash.

It is now lost in fading memories but there was a time when the masters of the information universe were not "big tech" but "big finance".

Just like now there is a pseudo-ideology around "organizing the world's information" or "connecting all people", bankers used to have a pseudo-ideology about optimizing all the economy by transactionizing, financializing, securitising and marketising everything.

In fact, as the crypto boom conveniently reminded us, that ersatz ideology is still lurking around, available to any tribe that wants to try its hand at "reinventing finance" using tech.
> This is also fundamentally how other OO systems work

There is no inheritance here, just a function table as it is often used in C libraries.

> OO programming is, at heart, just one approach to organizing functions and data

Which equally applies to any programming paradigm.

> such as simulation (thus Simula)

Simula 67 - the world's first OO programming language - was explicitly conceived general purpose, in contrast to Simula I, which was not yet OO (though it already had active objects) and dedicated to simulation.
Guys the Ashkenazim maintained about 90% genetic isolation for about 1,000 years and they literally lived in cities a couple dozen meters from other Europeans. I'm not wrong.
From stereo hearing on a head that can be moved at will, to feeling the car "under your butt", and an innate understanding of other humans' movements both as pedestrians and drivers. Just to name a few.

The infantilization occurs with the relative decrease of formality from generation to generation. It's the fact that you'll never dress as formally at work as your parents did.

Those are fine by me. My problem with ad networks is that my machine is caught in the middle of upholding the contract between the advertiser and the presenter. That's their problem, not mine. I don't want to be part of that in anyway and I have every right to refuse to be. That and the personal tracking across sites, the sooner that dies, the better off we'll all be. With all that stuff gone, "ad" will finally be the correct term to use. No other form of advertising ever got to do those things.
I'm hesitant to even comment in threads on this topic it's so blown out of proportion in modern western society but some of the absurd things implied need to be addressed.

>Telegram implicitly allows the trading of CSAM in private channels.

You might as well say, "Private unmonitored housing and properties implicitly allow the trading of CSAM."

So...what about addressing the distribution of illicit sexual content by minors offline in the same way? Are we going to start saying that all inhabited spaces should be monitored by government cameras? Should all mail/packages be opened and read/scanned? Why are online spaces different than offline spaces? I'd argue it's because the people writing crap like this depend on FUD and ignorance to push their agendas and they have a monetary incentive in applying FUD to all digital spaces.

>Gift card swapping and exchanges, such as G2G, are a critical part of the monetization of SG-CSAM, allowing anonymous compensation for content.

Going to ban cash then too? This article is shallow, ignorant self promotion of their dept. to get more funding. It's almost offensive how they're exploiting chldren's safety for this purpose.
"Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors, and they have no comforter.
And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun."

That is from Ecclesiastes 4. The author was talking about the problem of evil - power was on the side of the oppressors. People were being evil, and getting away with it.

There's this idea that "the problem of evil" is, why does God permit this? I think that's too convenient. When people are being evil, and getting away with it, that's a problem not just for people who believe in a good God, but for people who believe goodness matters.

And I think the conclusion of the Phoenicians was that people get away with, and are even rewarded for doing evil things, because the gods are into that sort of stuff. The gods are sickos, so you're pretty much screwed, but get their attention with a ritual act of cruelty, and you might get a share of their power.
How do they come up with hashing matches for SG-CSAM? You would think that said content would be made extremely recently and traded between private accounts - how does software like PhotoDNA even get that in their systems?

Anyone knowledgeable about this?
They're not half-size, though, they're actually a bit _more_ than 50%. So that means you'll go through them faster than if you purchase full-sized ones and get in the habit of tearing a full sheet in half and setting the unneeded half aside.
Duh, I just copied image name from the docker-compose.yaml *grin*

But yeh, this one.
The silver lining of the current state of embedding the ads into the video itself at least is the creator makes the deal directly with the advertiser, rather than through YouTube.

But you're suggesting that YouTube alter the video to insert the ads, which wouldn't be the same thing. IDK how that would scale (processing uploaded videos seems to take a while still on YouTube, and splicing video in a way that gives YT the continued control over dynamically displaying targeted ads could be a Hard Problem), but if anyone can figure that out, it'd be YT.
>I'm not sure there's a huge market for licensing an image occasionally.

Maybe for an iconic newsworthy photo.

But, yeah. As an individual, paying $50 or whatever for a photo for a book cover or something like that would be a rather rare thing. And if I'm a company who needs a steady stream of stock for articles, corporate presentations, etc., I'm almost certainly going to have a subscription if only for the convenience of not having to get individual purchases approved all the time.
We are all some guy
My idea is that the end user is an employee, not a customer of the company. Since they have a general understanding and the questions won't be as broad, i hope one of the open models with a less strict license is enough for the task. Stability AI released a model with creative commons CC BY license (allows commercial use with attribuition, although Creative Commons is a weird license for a gigantic database) and there are some "LLaMA" clones (open llama, redpanda, vicuna, etc.) that i need to look deeper into to understand how it was done and how it didn't inherit the original's license
many! mostly nature-friendly ones lacking concrete perhaps?
I don't really care if the desktop gets snatched. I'm more worried about old tax returns, the credentials stored in its password manager, etc. Breaking in twice (once to install a bump in the wire key logger, and once to walk away with the machine) would lead to at least 10x more payout for a burglar.

Also, ignoring what it is worth to the attacker, having to roll over all my credentials, freeze accounts, etc, etc, because my desktop was stolen would cost way more of my time than buying a new desktop (happily, the drive is encrypted).
> Also AlphaStar can teach absolutely nothing to the army tacticians.

This is the only sentence of your summary that accurately portrays my comment.

I do think they are investing in tactical AIs, you even see it with those new loyal wingman UAVs. But the notion that AlphaStar proves that we already have tactical AIs that outperform humans is absurd.
> I think the inability of an outsider to detect an event is precisely what it means to say "from the point of view of sn outsider, this event never happens".

No, it isn't. The fact that a particular observer cannot detect an event does not in any way justify the claim that that event never happens.

> may aswell never happen from the p.o.v. of the observer

Whether or not an event "happens" is not a matter of any particular observer's point of view. At least, not in General Relativity. In GR, an event happening means there is a point in spacetime at which it happens. That point is either there in spacetime or it isn't, independent of what any observer can or cannot detect.

You can say an event has no causal effect on a particular observer, but that's not the same as saying the event never happens.
Saw the dog too late to respond safely. Just like a responsible human driver. Maybe better than a human driver.

We'll have to legislate what auto-drivers are responsible for, to avoid nuisance lawsuits etc just because they're robots. E.g. expected response times, expected accident-avoidance behaviors.
When I first embarked on this quest to make my led bulbs stop failing, I saw a video of a russian guy that, beyond removing the bul itself, drilled roles on the base of the device, and plugged screws on them to create passive cooling. Not very safe, since the screws have access to the inside of the fixture, and can eventually touch the wires and become live, I wouldn't personally do it myself.

As for drilling holes on the bulb itself, I'm pretty sure it would not reduce the temperature as much as simply removing it, and in my experience, the luminosity is even better without those cheap plastic bulbs anyway.
Telegraf is a single agent that collects a nice amount of metrics and send it to many databases. I prefer to use telegraf (and scripts) to collect the metrics into influxdb and then grafana.

Telegraf have some log parsing/extraction functionality, but for something more generic promtail+loki would be better.
"Autonomous flying seems like a much easier and more cost effective problem to solve, given there are orders of magnitude fewer contexts and obstacles."

That's not true: what there is, is 3.2 trillion vehicle-miles driven annually (in the US) vs 12.5 billion aircraft-miles flown -- a factor of 400 difference.

Imagine the reduction of accident rates if, at any moment, there were 1/400 of the vehicles on the road, and every vehicle trip started with a checklist inspection by a pilot who had passed a physical exam in the last year?
The Varjo VR headset is the leader in Enterprise training and design. The headset cost more than $6,000 per unit plus it has an annual subscription fee more than $1500.

The Vision Pro is a direct competitor to the Varjo. Early reports are that it is better. It comes in at half the price and no subscription fees.

The Vario is what some Apple employees used as devkits during the software development phase.

Apple is masterful at bringing the public along slowly with an easy to digest narrative. They don't tell the whole story right up front, because people need the breadcrumbs and onboarding.
To be honest I kind of understand where Google was coming from with dropping jxl. But now with Apple throwing their weight behind it, the situation has drastically changed. I really do hope they bring it back.
Admittedly, my experiment was a while ago. It might be easier now.
On the other hand gears, wheels, and fans are all wheels.
Oh I was referring to myself when I said replied to the wrong comment. Seems I omitted the subject of the sentence, and you assumed I was referring to you. No one can ever know the mind of another, so we use the things others say and do to form simplified models.

From the things you've posted in this thread, my model of you is someone who has believed the US government to be in possession of alien craft prior to David Grusch's announcement. That is the only piece of information I implied when I said 'people like you', no pejorative connotation. People who already believed what Grusch is saying is true. Was my model of you accurate? y/n

I notice you didn't answer my question on the wrong thread that I replied to. Do you believe the theories of every researcher who has appeared on ancient aliens with equal credibility? y/n

If not, what is your criteria for which ones you believe more or less than others? If you treat every theory with equal seriousness, I would like to know your opinion on the following statement:

"The moon is made of cheese, I have proof"
I have a piece of cheese from the moon. It's well toasted from it's entry through Earth's atmosphere of course, but I've had a widely respected dairy farmer examine it, and he confirmed that it is real cheese. Well toasted cheese does not simply appear in fields such as the one I found it in. The only explanation is that it was knocked off of the moon and fell to earth.

Do you believe me? why/ why not
> The point is that as a Reddit user, you won't see that content unless you disable your NSFW filter and go searching for it.

The point is that people use reddit to hotlink depraved, illegal porn images and videos and spam these media on other forums. That depraved content is not moderated, it should not be possible to hotlink porn material from reddit. The platform is not moderated like you claim, a checkbox in the preferences is not moderation, if evading "moderation" consist simply in hotlinking porn hosted on reddit.
> The SEC doesn't tell how they acquired this quote, nor even whether it's a legitimate quote at all.

The SEC would not fabricate a quote like this, no, and it's very weird that you're suggesting they might.
Thanks for explaining that. was also jokingly implying that the technical foundations of crypto must be disgusting, via Leviticus being associated with purity laws.
Have a look at SponsorBlock. It automatically skips this kind of ads as long as someone contributed the time stamps.
Fine-tuning has a lot of use cases, but "keeping the LLM generally grounded in the facts of my website" is not one of them.

Yes, that's what everyone says and it makes total sense to me. I'm looking for (technical, but not too technical) arguments why it is not possible. There I'm not so much interested in the "grounded in the facts of my website" point but more in the similar "take the data from my large private knowledge base into consideration" point.

In other words I don't want to restrict the knowledge the model has or the answers it gives. I want to add a considerable amount of my own knowledge. This seems not to be possible without training from scratch. The question is "Why?"
GitHub Packages no longer planning Python PyPI support
True. This was to show that child death was no big deal. That was being disputed and compared to modern sensibilities. Just illustrating how vastly differently ancient people viewed this.
That is not the core reason why I provided that example.

What I meant to say, is that having 2 eyes or 20 eyes will not help if you are not able to decipher scenarios that require a semantic understanding of the current real life movie you are in.

A cyclist made sign with the hand too brief to catch, or a soccer ball just run to street so maybe a child is running after it, or a temporary deviation on the road where the police expects you to drive off road for a few seconds and is sending you manual signs.

None of the current self driving solutions is able to handle these. 1 or 20 cameras, 2 Lidars or 50 Lidars will do nothing to address the problem.
Exactly what we were doing.
I think I got my 1st custom PC from a vendor in CS. It was a Pentium 1 166Mhz MMX / 8MB RAM and 1.2GB HDD.

This is the box that I wrote a lot of VB6 code on for AOL, pirated my 1st MP3 (Deftones My Own Summer), and found my favorite SNES game (FF4). I didn't even know emulators were a thing!

With windows 98 and with 8MB of ram, i really learned about startup items.

There was a GE capital nearby that had a dumpster full of computer parts. I ended up finding some 8MB EDO sticks in the dumpster and it was the 1st time my computer would idle without trashing the HDD. 32MB was epic.
