You shouldn't put citrus in a vermicompost bin because the worms can't eat it (right away, at any rate). I haven't heard that you can't compost citrus in a regular compost pile however. May be people getting mixed up around different types of composting.

The regulation isn't about one thing. It talks about everything from stationary battery energy storage system to portable appliances and yes transport too.

I agree it is def not the only thing to do to tackle the housing problem, but I think it can be a good tool to help get these projects passed. NIMBYism in the bay is so rampant that neighbors pretty much oppose all high density housing developments.

I agree with you that the main problem is supply and demand. We need more homes to keep prices affordable and the only way to do that in the bay is more density.

I don't think it has to be an either or situation. We should subsidize low-income housing so ppl with lower incomes have somewhere to live right now, and also build more market rate units so everyone has a place to live at an affordable rate long term.

You should add a ‘tap to add to Contacts’ link - I think a vCard would work?

I don’t want to send a postcard right now, but I’d definitely like to store the number for later use. It’s actually kind of hard to do that, though, on iOS at least. Tapping opens up Messages, where there isn’t an easy way to add to contacts without sending a message, and long-press doesn’t seem to contain ‘add to contacts’ option. I’m stuck copying the number, launching Contacts, and creating a new contact by hand.

No? My Hero 10 and 11 are both waterproof on their own up to 10m, as long as I use the included battery door (can’t use the optional doors that allow direct access to the USB port, or the media mod).

There is a dive housing that can handle up to 60m depth, but that’s a special case.

“adverse inference” is still nothing when it comes to making a case and is still infinitely better than perhaps missing an important detail and then having discrepancies between your own testimonies.
Agree with you but not for your reasons. Too many folks are trying to make this argument about security when its more about language design and engineering.

If most Rust libs migrate to use index based memory references, then what is the point of the borrow checker ? It would be demoted to a rarely used 1% feature leveraged only by Language Complexity Fanatics - might as well remove it from the language and speed up the slow Rust compile times by orders of magnitude.

The growing adoption of handle/index based resource management is also demonstrating that borrow checking is effectively a failure. Most library authors are beginning to move away from borrow checking as it imposes severe limitations on software design and usability and severe increases to cognitive complexity.
The US is only 4.25% of the world's population though.

Yes, this is the idea. I set the threshold for approximate search with a margin so that on a few test queries, I get 100% recall, and then it is filtered by precise search.

But I didn't evaluate it thoroughly. The threshold for Hamming distance over bit masks was set almost arbitrarily, and it will be interesting to test further.

While you have the right to remain silent, I remember reading somewhere that you have to actively invoke that right (by stating something like "I invoke my 5th amendment right to remain silent") for your silence to be considered an invocation of that right, and not merely suspicious behavior, an implicit admission of guilt, or obstruction of justice.

This is actually reprehensible, since invoking a right should mean actually engaging in it (e.g. remaining silent), with no explanation necessary.

> I've given up on changing their minds. No matter how deep I analyze their data and point out the flaws, they won't budge an inch.

I think it's easy to oversimplify their views. There's a pretty good scale of belief that some would call "denial" that isn't quite that.

1. Is it because they distrust the people talking about it? Have those people been wrong previously?

2. Is it because they distrust the proposed solutions to it? Do they feel there is an ulterior agenda behind those solutions? Or do they simply feel the proposed solutions are too expensive and unreasonable [1]?

3. Is it because they distrust the idea that humans cause climate change, not just nature?

4. Do they feel that it is an important issue; but believe it is a much lower priority issue than solving food, housing, education, safety, and other issues [2]?

And so forth. I think that very often; it is distrust of the people talking about it more than the idea. Remember that the World Economic Forum talks about climate change, but also bragged about how "You will own nothing, and be happy" which was the biggest self-own of the millennium. There aren't many people I run into who say "there is no climate change, period," but there are plenty who think that it's exaggerated, meant to benefit a political cause, meant to change social behavior to benefit somebody's agenda, etc. I can't say that is 100% unwarranted. Claiming "the world is going to end unless we do my solution X" is kind of like using vinegar to attract flies.

[1] And while I'm on the "unreasonable," it's vague but extremely hard to change and quantify. We could theoretically end child molestation if we had cameras in every room of every house; but that's not reasonable even if you could scientifically prove it to be effective. We could theoretically end illiteracy if we locked every child in a room with a book 24/7 until they learned to read, but that's not reasonable even if you could scientifically prove it to be effective. They could easily just feel that the climate change "solutions," regardless of the science, even if they are effective, just aren't at their level of reasonable. The reasons for that could be as different and varied as grains of sand on a seashore.

[2] California doesn't do themselves any favors when they scream about climate change while having severe homelessness, housing affordability, high taxation, and other issues that affect people personally on a day-to-day level. In my personal opinion, people would be much more sympathetic to solving climate change if they had their other ducks in a row. You can't convince people to think about the future if the present is a mess. You can't convince somebody to save 20% of their income for retirement when they've got $20K in credit card debt.

Why would a takedown because of the name on the copyright even work? The license states that you have full permission to use the work. There is no legal basis here. I can legally sell my purchased copy of Microsoft Office and no lawyer is going to stop me because I don't own the copyright to the software on the CDs.

Hell, buy any laptop, you'll soon be greeted by screens that state that some company called Microsoft made all the software. HP and Dell will be ruined!

Regardless of legal basis, I can false copyright strike this developer right now and there is no way for Amazon to get their hands on this device to verify the legitimacy of the claim. Even if they had one at hand, there's no way they're going to go through the trouble to actually check any of this.
Sure, I get this and agree, but price discovery and facilitating markets are subject to diminishing returns just like anything else, right? I don't think I would've been downvoted for saying something like, "It's a problem that it's more lucrative to speculate on existing housing than to build new housing, so we should make regulatory changes to address that" and this feels analogous to me.

That was some shit.

Mostly it was copy/pasted data (strings) with slight modifications eating up a lot of lines. A few big chunks were in a code path that could not execute, as well.

It was just really bad code.
> But, obviously, there is no magic.

That's not entirely true. As someone who has a pretty long background in this area, works with LLMs/Diffusion models everyday, and generally thinks there is a bit too much hype (but also a lot of potential): there is a lot that we don't really understand about how these models behave and why.

For starters, this article discusses how we need to change the architecture for solving XOR. That's something we do understand quite well. However what we really don't understand is why architectures like transformers work so well. From an engineering standpoint they make sense because the models look like they're doing something we want, and it makes intuitive sense that they work.

But from a theoretical standpoint it's not known why we really need all these fancy architectures (rather than just using a bunch of layers that should also be able to "figure out" what the network needs to do). All of our success has boiled down to "hey, let's try this and see if the model will learn better/faster"

Similarly, from a mathematical perspective, we do have some intuition around the reality that all NNs are basically doing some highly non-linear, complex transformation on to some latent surface where the problem is linearly separable. That gives us a sense of why these models probably can't learn "truth" (unless you do believe there exists a latent space of what is true and what is not, which is pretty radical). But if you start asking many more questions about how this works, or why the model would choose one representation of the other internally, we don't really know.

Nearly all of our progress in deep learning that last decade has been basically hacking around and applying larger and larger amounts of data and compute resources. But at the end of the day even the best in the field don't really understand exactly what's happening.

Following from this: If you really want to understand these tools better, start playing with them and trying to build cool things. A deep understanding of the fundamentals is not much more useful for success with LLMs and Diffusion models is that knowing how to efficiently implement b-trees helps build a cool product with a database back end.

> To sue over that containing artwork would be like to sue over Photoshop containing artwork because you can produce a derivative work based on it.

Except that Photoshop will not regurgitate someone else's program practically line-by-line when you type the first 7 words of it into a prompt, which Copilot definitely does.

> In the copyright sense it should be treated like you treat a person.

A person with a camera and/or a copy of the original code, if anything. The fact that it compresses very well doesn't remove that these systems have almost token-perfect memory capable of recalling it on demand.

> as a trained numerical model it's not a derivative of any other works it was trained on. No more than you looking at the artwork and learning aspects of it at least.

It is definitely a derived work of the programs it was trained on, which is kind of obvious since it can produce segments of them on demand.

This is no different that compressing my program and then trying to claim the compressed file is no longer derivative of my program since it "just cannot contain my program anymore".

Whether (as a person) _by using a model which is derived from my programs_ you are immediately creating a derivative work of my programs is a different story, but I think it is rather safe to assume that if you just copy paste large swaths of the output of the model (or even simply look at them), your program is also going to be derivative.

I use rebase essentially every working day. I use rebase for managing my local tree of patches, regardless of interaction with colleagues. Merge is fine, I guess, but do you never get the order wrong and want to reorder things before you push? Or keep moving around some local debugging patch on the top of your stack, without pushing it to your colleagues?

IMO merge is almost never what you actually want, unless you've been working separately for a long period of time (and generally you should not being doing that because it leads to surprising conflicts / regressions at merge time).
There is, so you have the right to remain silent. The difference is that federal law makes it illegal to lie to a federal agent.
