You’re still arguing against me on a position I agree with. It’s very possible that the man died of these actions. Also I stated the actions were unethical. So why are you upset?

However, neither you or I have proof of that, which is the point. Because without it, without facts, people won’t learn and make better decisions. One side can always conjecture about things, as there’s no proof. Just like there was no proof provided in the article (even though we can make assumptions, that doesn’t make it fact, and is a dangerous road to follow even if we feel morally justified in doing so).

The point which you are avoiding is that the article does a very poor job making your case (as does your arguments here). As I agree with the premise that these things were unethical and dangerous, I take offense with an article that does a disservice to the topic for the purpose of clicks. I also take offense to your string of arguments, using morality posturing, and citing cases that have nothing to do with the topic at hand, trying to point out where the US court has fouled up, to prove that MUST have done so here, which does not follow. (This is a slippery slope and composition/division fallacy, ie.. because the court screwed up in your specific cases, it MUST be guilty in the other)

> You tried to “well actually” the acts this article is talking about

> you’re linking some dumb ass article about formatting arguments in a manner that doesn’t make you seem quite as wrong

My comment has always been about the quality of the article. And the link is not an article about formatting arguments, so I have to assume you didn’t actually read or check the link.

It’s a link outlining logical fallacies and biases, to help with better critical thinking skills, both in writing, and in evaluating content that we read / listen to / debate, etc.

Here’s a Wikipedia link instead, since you posted a number of Wikipedia links.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

I urge you to read through them, and note where your arguments and thinking are at fault. I do on a regular basis, and it’s helpful. The link I posted links to posters and card that can aid in remembering them.

Also worth reading, a discussion on the dangers of moral posturing in debate as discussed by Socrates.

https://qz.com/1599699/socrates-shows-why-moral-posturing-on...

And virtual signaling as discussed by Aristotle:

https://fee.org/articles/virtue-signaling-isnt-virtuous-and-...

“Human societies require people who disagree to cooperate and trust each other. They must also allow for disagreement and productive discussion of competing views. Yet, virtue signaling undermines all of this.”

(not mentioning Socrates and Aristotle to prove something or lend weight, only to show these concerns on how we discuss moral and ethical topics go back a very long time)

> To paraphrase 'ole ted "You see, affirmative action makes white people feel bad and mad at black people which is the real secret goal of leftists".

No. It's more like "Leftist activists push AA and other policies with no concern for the impact on the communities they're purportedly intended to help."

> Do you, or have you ever, felt mad a black person because of affirmative action?

I'm pretty sure you could find a ton of people who do if you searched for it. But even if the harm wasn't real I think the point is that activists don't care about collateral damage.
Sadly people recommend OBS for regular screen capture on Wayland, after X11-based capture apps like SimpleScreenRecorder no longer work on Wayland. And OBS isn't very good at screen recording, and even cropping the recording by dragging a specific region, then shrinking the output file size to this region, cannot be done easily (alt-dragging the bounding box followed by "Resize output (source size)" picks the uncropped source size, and the "Crop/Pad" filter doesn't allow dragging a screen region).

In fact the issue was closed without understanding what the reporter was asking: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/8822
I think it’s a lot of factors because when driving an automatic ‘99 Honda Accord, it’s pretty obvious when you’re not driving 35mph anymore.

That said, after driving the same vehicle for a while, at least for me, I can usually guess how fast I’m going.
How so? They were fighting against ISIS, alongside YPG, who the US government (and probably France too) supported officially. It makes sense they were surveilled at first - France wants to make sure volunteers aren't actually supporting ISIS - but they weren't and that's not why they kept the surveillance going. It was because they were an "ultra-left" group and France was apparently concerned they might attack police or sabotage phone infra or something (per Wikipedia.)

They were then arrested preemptively (after the surveillance was retroactively authorized by a judge!) and one member was held in solitary for 16 months. Despite all that, the prosecutors apparently couldn't find an actual plot to accuse them of planning, so they're pointing at their use of Tor and Signal instead. It's pathetic.

When it comes to copyright infringement vs free use in US law there are certain requirements that have to be met, one of which is "transformativity"

This concept has specific technical meaning -

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fair-use-what-transf...

It seems obvious to me that to call model weights "lossy compression" is not only incorrect from a technical (software dev) point of view, but also from this legal perspective.

The weights serve a different purpose than the original works from which they are derived, and wouldn't/couldn't POSSIBLY exist were it not for the original work of the authors of the models.

It's bad practice to go around espousing strong and condemnatory opinions about topics you don't have a full grasp of. In this case, it's both the technical details and the legal system.

It makes you look like a fool and costs you your credibility amongst peers in future encounters.
What packages are you concerned about? Do you use flatpaks?
PC game players tend to believe you can't play a game unless you bought the latest custom hardware for all of it and put all the settings on maximum.

Game developers are much more willing to run their work on lower end machines if they'll get paid for it, or at least they're more capable of tuning for it.
I have an Advantage 2 (an older model - not quiet and with 2MB v-drive) but it's damaged. I was not able to repair it unfortunately. I was super happy with it. I've ordered the 360 model (also without bluetooth) now and will receive it on Monday. The reason why I chose the 360 is usb-c, - otherwise I would have ordered the advantage 2 (quiet) as well as it seems easier to have one piece of hardware. Also I actually would have like to have a dedicated function key row - especially a dedicated escape key. Let's see.
Yep. I read this last year after watching some Unabomber related show. And there are interesting ideas in there about technology and society, but a lot of it is just dumb shit.

Are you familiar with Fitts' law? The advantage of the global menu bar is that you don't have to find it: you just flick your cursor quickly upward, and it will stop at the top of the screen, right on the menu bar. This can be more efficient, unless you have for some reason chosen a flat pointer acceleration curve.
My understanding is that they'll give the subject the warrant, which just describes what they're allowed to search for and where. The affidavit submitted the judge, which describes the evidence that established the requisite probable cause, is not provided.

If the search turns up evidence, and the government wants to use that evidence at trial, then the affidavit is available in discovery.

If no trial results, I don't think there's any reliable way to get at the affidavit.
The problem is no one is proposing tenable truck infrastructure when proposing "knock it down". We have dangerous enough roads all over the city, especially Brooklyn & Queens. Look at the tragedy recently in south Brooklyn. Keeping trucks/trade vans/people transiting the borough on a highway and off surface streets is beneficial.

There's lot of infrastructure & services I don't directly use that I don't demand be torn down. I am also aware that I indirectly use lots of infrastructure when I order goods online, buy groceries at the store, have a plumber service my sink, buy furniture, etc.

No one alive in the city today can say the BQE was suddenly foisted upon them.

I live right next to a bridge in the city, I'd have a better view, quieter life, and higher property value if they tore down the bridge. I work remotely so I don't even use it. I don't believe I have the right to tear it down though.
I know that some of the same "partners" try to convert bigger companies/department with the promise of building something custom for them on top of GCP so that they can transition quickly out of AWS. What they don't say though is that after you are on GCP you are going to get zero engineers to support that custom product (because it doesn't get them a promo) and you are left to deal with spaghetti.

It is sad to see how many people in this thread will assume the absolute worst with respect to Tesla's FSD capabilities and then will accept this Level 3 announcement from Mercedes in the most charitable way possible. It requires little effort to achieve Level 3 in extremely constrained situations. For example, it would be almost trivial for any autonomy company to achieve "Level 3" at 5 miles per hour within a specific geography. 40 MPH with all of the other limitations of this system is simply not very interesting.

It seems many people in this thread are highly motivated by prior bias toward the negative on Tesla; far more than those of us who appreciate what Tesla is doing.
The simple answer is that the software stack necessary for consumers to effectively use these storage devices does not yet exist. Hyperscalers are pretty much defined as the ones who are big enough to do their own software stack. For the rest of us, we have some good components to work with but also some major gaps that won't be filled anytime soon.

ZFS is a great improvement over traditional hardware RAID systems, but is still in many ways clearly a descendant of them. BTRFS has a slightly different mix of features from ZFS that make it a bit more flexible and a better choice for consumers who don't buy drives by the dozen. Neither has a great solution for caching/tiering with SSDs and hard drives. Ceph has a lot of features that would otherwise be almost exclusive to the hyperscalers, but is too complicated for something like a turnkey NAS. bcachefs aspires to eventually have most of the features you would want for a non-clustered storage system.

Zoned storage is something many of the above already have some degree of support for, but as a paradigm it has not even started showing up in the consumer computing ecosystem so many of the issues with adopting zoned storage for consumer systems aren't even being worked on.
So am I to understand that from an OpSec perspective, connecting a machine to a known compromised system, is ok to do, “because you want internet”?

Maybe because I’m not opsec and don’t know my ass from a hole in the ground, but my security recommendation would be, no, do not purposely connect your machine to a known compromised system regardless of its advertised purpose, attack vectors, attack surface, probability of unwanted exploitation, or justification as to why it’s necessary to do so, because you’re exposing yourself, and possibly corporate machine and network, to compromise. Find a trusted system (aka audited and considered reasonably low risk while acknowledging no system can ever be deemed fully secure and trust, or zero trust is a large determining factor) and consider the compromised machine as not existing at all, therefore not being an option at all, because connecting to it would go against common sense and 8th graders practice better security habits
Hopefully (and I imagine this is likely) barracuda ships the new device before customers are required to send the original.
I explained specifically using multiple comparisons why it's different from Ansible and Puppet. Several of the guarantees made by Nix were never promised by Puppet and Ansible, such as enforced idempotency and managing the distribution from the ground up. These are fundamental differences, and not a better screwdriver. If you've ever used Puppet and Ansible, you'd know that an OS upgrade will break your scripts. I've had Puppet and Ansible break out from under me countless times. That is basically close to impossible with Nix, because the OS is not under it, it IS the OS. It fully manages anything that it deploys. Puppet and Ansible often just use external tooling like package managers or edit existing config files, which is grossly error prone. Nix IS the package manager, and it IS the config file. This is a huge difference. I understand that you can install a package from scratch and deploy entire config files using Puppet and Ansible, but this is side-stepping the underlying OS's capabilities, and this sort of discipline can only be maintained by a single experienced engineer, and not a large group of people updating the config, unlike Nix, which enforces deployment.

To say that Nix is a better screw driver is like saying that you could write the same level quality and reliability of software using Bash as in Rust. Rust is just a better screw driver than bash - I suppose it's true in some technical legal sense, but most people won't agree, and it's not true in any sense that is useful or valuable.
I suppose it would be like how the U.S has a history of using nuclear bombs, has a bunch more assembled and ready to be used, but claims to have no plans to actually use them.

This might not be fully convincing or rigorous, but here is one of the interactions i've had which make me lean towards patterns not concepts...

I have some unique synonyms I know which are not in dictionaries or commonly used but I know when I have used them in conversation they understand.

I ask the LLM to provide definitions for WordA and WordB. -They come back essentially the same.
I ask the LLM if the two definitions are synonymous. -The LLM responds with yes.
I then ask if WordA is synonymous with WordB. -It replies no.

To me through this and other interactions they don't actually conceptually hold things like the definition as the word. It responds DefinitionA is WordAs definition, it responds DefinitionB is WordBs definition. It follows that DefinitionA of WordA is synonymous with DefinitionB of WordB but not that WordA is synonymous with WordB...

I expect the above is solvable through pattern recognition with tokens. I think given enough information it becomes effectively indistinguishable and practically the same to us. The above is just a testament to how it is getting there... Since it delivers intellect it will be called intelligent, but it doesn't appear to me to be approaching it like human intelligence. Though maybe given enough information, or through different modalities, like the real world as the other commenter says, it will model some deeper coherency.

>The main part of the West Lothian question, which is where there are sometimes laws that _exclusively_ affect England and Wales, why do Scottish MPs get to vote on them?, was handled by the Scottish MPs voluntarily not voting on them. They managed to do this for centuries without any formal process.

Did they? Wikipedia says this:

> In establishing foundation hospitals and increasing student tuition fees in England, Scottish votes were decisive in getting the measures through.[10] The vote on foundation hospitals in November 2003 only applied to England – had the vote been restricted to English MPs then the government would have been defeated.[11] Had there been a vote by English MPs only on tuition fees in January 2004, the government would have lost because of a rebellion on their own benches.[12]
This is how I do things in Spring Boot too. Model specific stuff stays in the model, cross model business logic goes into services.
> There was some speculation that because they shift gears manually, they have to pay more attention to the road and can't do things like drink coffees while driving.

I am highly skeptical of this. I am sure auto insurers in the US have looked at the statistics, and if it were true, they would be charging higher premiums for automatics than manuals.
Hasn't the state also been directly taking money meant for mass transit in general for years?
I've never used GCP for anything but demos, but on the other side AWS support is worth the (high) price: I always had my issues solved, quickly, and sometimes I was even able to put in feature requests that were shipped a few weeks later.

It is assumed unsafe. It must be proven safe. This can be done via a engineering, statistical, or other appropriate analysis done by entitys with full access to the design specifications, usage information, etc. who are competent to do the analysis and who have no conflict of interest/unbiased. This has not been done for Tesla FSD therefore it must be assumed to be unsafe. As Tesla deliberately misclassifies their Full Self Driving Beta testing program to avoid government reporting requirements and does not release raw data to any unbiased non-government entity or research organization, it is literally impossible for any external analysis to prove that Tesla FSD is safe. The most a third party can do is affirmatively prove that it is unsafe as you need millions of times less information to affirmatively prove it is dangerous relative to existing systems.

I am not joking when I say millions of times less information. The aggregate motor vehicle fatality rate in the US is ~1.3 per 100,000,000 miles. To even have a chance of proving safety you would need to analyze on the order of 1,000,000,000 miles exhaustively. In contrast, to demonstrate it is not safe you would only need a list of like 20 fatalitys over those same billion miles to affirmatively prove it is unsafe. A list of 20 names versus the raw data for 1,000,000,000 miles is at least a factor of millions in information required and qualitatively different to achieve. Proving safety is enormously difficult and basically requires direct access to the raw information. Proving unsafety is extremely easy and can be relatively easily demonstrated by third partys when dealing with safety critical systems.

Safety engineering is not some sort of new idea that we need to reinvent by the seat of our pants from first principles, it is a mature methodology regularly deployed in aerospace, medical, civil, and automotive engineering applications. Assumptions of safety are fundamentally incompatible with safety critical engineering. This is not a fringe opinion, it is literally a core concept at the foundations of safety critical engineering and not understanding that concept demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of modern safety. It is like a geologist arguing the Earth is flat; anybody who suggests such a idea is so fundamentally divorced from the ideas of the field that their knowledge not only fails to reach the level of a expert, they fail to reach the level of even a basic practitioner.
You can “cheat” by having fake models backed by database views. Declare your view creation/deletion as SeparateDatabaseAndState migrations (with RunSQL operations creating the actual views).

It’s not scalable long-term, but if your objective is to either slowly migrate those views to true Django models, or for few, specific tables, then I think it’s a good workaround.
Horsefeathers. It is an objectively bad interface.
> It's very misleading because you're starting from the supposition of EVs rather than the actual mix of personal cars.

If we're talking about planning, then we should look at least 10 years ahead. By that time, most of new vehicles are going to be EVs.

Mind you, the subway construction around here is planned 20 _years_ in advance. All the current proposed projects are going to be finished some time in 2040-s.

> If you choose EVs for the cars, why not choose ZEV buses that are starting to enter the market as well?

ZEV buses still retain the most polluting part of regular buses: the driver.

> What? I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say here.

One average US citizen produces around 20 tons of CO2 per year. A bus needs 3 of them working full-time. This completely dwarfs the emissions due to fuel use.

> It doesn't destroy affordable housing, though, it shifts it to other areas while increasing density near stations.

Bullshit. New density does NOT create ANY affordable housing. Never has, never will. And dense housing near stations is certainly not cheap.

Heck, here's an article from urbanists that admits that: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2023/4/26/upzoning-might...

> Most urban planners and economists would say that increased density is a good thing and that Tokyo is an excellent example of a city done right.

Most oil executives say that oil is great and that the large trucks are good!

Tokyo is a great example of young people forced to live in "microapartments" while just a couple of hours away, beautiful old houses sit empty.

> You seem to have a personal bone to pick with high-density cities that's just not shared by most other people.

Most other people haven't heard ANY opposing opinion in their lives. And neither have they researched it themselves. Thus, I routinely hear utterly risible nonsense like "we need more density to allow affordable housing" going unopposed.
"Intellectually dishonest" (in the great-grandparent to this comment). That's a personal attack.
Ha! I was going to say the article clearly referencing Epic.
