> The west is the only one who has tried to avoid escalation,

Hahaha. Expanding NATO multiple times. Buzzing Russian airspace. Regime-changing its neighbors. Releasing hordes of sunni Jihadists to topple its “last remaining ally in the region”, forcing Russia to commit its troops to “barely hold it together by a thread”.

> what has Russia done to try and avoid escalation?.

Oh far more than the US. Constantly appeal on the United Nations security council (just as they futitely tried to prevent the invasion of Iraq), and comtinually for years stress and warn that Ukraine in NATO is an unacceptable red line in public speeches that US media refuses to broadcast (unless they can take a tiny clip out of context). Propose agreements. Engage in diplomacy involving multiple nations. Send cheap resources to Ukraine. Ask them nicely to, like, restore drinking water (a human right) to Crimea. What did the US do to, say, avert the war in Yemen or Ukraine? They seemed to do everything to prevent deescalation. What was USA doing getting involved in regime change halfway around the world anyway? Oh that’s always off-topic.

Suppose Russia wanted to do everything you and US propaganda claims to Ukraine (up to and including apparently, genociding all Ukrainians, restoring the Soviet Union or whatever is asserted and critically accepted, just like “weapons of mass destruction” and “they hate us for our freedoms”)

Then why did they not invade in 2015? Why wait 8 years? The only answer I got here is “well Russians are strange”.

You have it exactly backwards. If we didn’t expand NATO and train Ukrainian paramilitaries to kill Russians, then the worst that would happen is Ukraine would implement the Minsk II agreements, and its fate would have been even better than Georgia after 2008. As for nuclear proliferation, Trump and GOP killed the Iran deal, Bush and GOP killed the Agreed Framework, both North Korea and Iran would have not gotten nukes IF THE US WOULD SIMPLY COMMIT TO DIPLOMACY AND KEEPING ITS AGREEMENTS.

Also, if Russia did nothing, rather than arming rebels, they would probably have been far better off. I criticize both Russia and USA both as imperialists. You criticize Russia BUT NOT USA. That’s the difference.
At Temporal we've done a lot of research on WASM-based deterministic workflows. While they make sense in a general way, they suffer a similar problem as deterministic OS environments (e.g. hermit) - safe updates. People often need to apply code changes and know they will be deterministic changes with regards to past executions.

When determinism is clearly defined at the language level, you can easily see when an alteration would be compatible with existing long running executions when replaying old history. However when it's at a low level, it's less clear.

For example, Go WASM includes its coroutine scheduler inside the WASM blob. A slight change in an unrelated part of the code can change the order of coroutines causing it to be an unsafe non-deterministic change when deployed for running workflows. Similarly, Go may make an external call to a seeded deterministic random for map iteration (yes, Go explicitly randomizes map iteration order). One other call to that random will make that map iteration order possibly different breaking replay.

So WASM is great unless you need to alter code for existing workflows that run for years. Then it becomes less clear, whereas language level determinism can have clear semantics to code authors and static analyzers with explicit versioning/patching if needed. Of course using lower-level languages can help here too since they are more predicably compiled with a smaller runtime, but they still require authors to be careful on code changes.

So you do remove the cookies regularly, but you also believe that removing the cookies is "shooting ourselves in the knee"?

Then overall, privacy is a much larger problem. For one, with generative AIs coming, it is very scary to realize that those big corps know almost everything about almost everybody (maybe not you, if you don't use cookies, don't have a smartphone, etc), and are technically able to train generative AIs with that data.

The second problem is that because the business model is surveillance capitalism, then big corps don't optimize for making a product that users are willing to pay for, but instead they optimize for gathering more and more data about their users so that they can make profit with it. Typically social networks play against their users in order to sell them.
This is precisely what is wrong with OpenAI. This. Right here.

Sam Altman has gone on a worldwide interview tour claiming he wants to "democratise access to AI", meanwhile OpenAI is the least open company I have ever dealt with, or even heard of.

Oracle is more "democratic" and open, for crying out loud.
...and the "nine-dash line" actually has 8 dashes and doesn't delimit anything (like the "nine-dash-line" does with the part of sea claimed by China), it just kinda aimlessly snakes around there. Still, with digital distribution, is it so hard to simply edit the line out? Or would China be offended then?
The chip line they made for it powers the most popular console on the market and basically locked its manufacturer into Nvidia chips until they're willing to drop compatibility, so financially it probably worked out for them, even if the Shield line itself wasn't extremely financially successful.
You got that right. I inform myself, I empathize with people, and I don't live in fear of things largely out of my control. Millions of people including my loved ones and likely I will die of a heart attack or cancer. Millions of elderly including my loved ones are at risk of flu and other common illnesses, falls, etc. Countless young (and old) people will die of auto wrecks and violence. The sun will strip the atmosphere off the earth in a few billion years. I simply don't live my life terrified about all these things. Just because you do doesn't mean you also have to get angry at people who don't, or try and fail to shame them -- not to scare you more but it's bad for your blood pressure and stress levels.
Thanks Tim Apple. Google would've remained hands-off until the German authorities were at their doorstep, begging for a solution, had it not been for Apple forcing their hand.

The coverage here seems to be angled somewhat. To clarify, the issue was never widespread, but rather contained to a few hundred obfuscated properties. The complication arose when a privacy uproar hit the headlines, sparking conversations about wholesale censorship and spiraling mistrust in tech giants. As a result, politicians from all sides found it convenient to lay into Google. Google's response was pretty blunt - conform to our approach or we pack up. True to their word, they exited the market. Apple, however, swooped in last year and successfully launched their own street view service in Germany without a hitch, forcing Google's hand in reconsideration.

I did this in January 2021, over a weekend. I loved evernote and over 6 or so years became a prolific user. But their changes slowed the app down so much it became unusable. I needed to move, in one fell swoop.

First, I needed to decide where I will migrate to. The options were a few open source alternatives, Apple Notes, MS OneNote, and Google Keep.

I evaluated Apple Notes first. It was usable, met my criteria, and was a candidate for consideration.

Next, I looked at Notion. I fell in love with it immediately. Right off the bat I started replicating my personal operating system from Evernote in Notion. With every step, my grin widened. I kept a list of open questions, and most of them I was intuitively able to figure out as I grew familiar with the usage. After two or so hours Notion was a clear winner.

Key consideration: Notion is perfect for me. It fits my mental model, and allows me to do most of the things I want to. However, some people hate it. Please don't take my word for it.

Now, the migration. Notion has the ability to import from Evernote. It worked for many small notes. However, some larger journal notes did not import. I made a list of those that did not import, and copy-and pasted them.

It took roughly 12 or so hours of work. On Monday, I closed Evernote, and started using Notion. I had to go back to Evernote a small handful of times to fish something out that did not come over.

I rate the migration as an 8/10. Some pain points, but doable without great pain. Roughly on the order of magnitude like setting up a new laptop from scratch.

It's been 2.5 years. I am still a raving fan. +++ would recommend, but Notion is opinionated and not for everyone.

P.S. Recently I started using OneNote because a client of mine is on Microsoft's tooling. It's passable, but has some rough edges.
I've done a POC before where the main site was a tor hidden service, and I had cheap VPSs acting as a clearnet reverse proxy to it
You have a point in that it is somewhat tech-specific. If, e.g., you are in an open source project with 100 people and 20 are on Twitter, 18 of the 20 are raging, manipulative, self-promoting politicians, all with the correct "Twitter Bio" and the correct set of flags.

They use Twitter to intimidate others and promote their clique.

I find that the only people worth reading are the independently minded ones who don't care what others think. In the current climate, they are either journalists or independently wealthy.
The racist behavior and hate are indeed a huge part of the problem. I believe you when you say it's escalating, however this one is relatively well known and not specific to France.

My feeling is a bit broader than that : we're entering a generalization of violence at every level of the society, including the state. This last part is the one that worries me the most, because state is supposed to be a cooldown actor.

What happened on the contrary, is that macron's government has decided to "show action", and "tacle the real issues of the country, without taboos". Which may have started with a good intentions, but is turning into a mess of laws turned against the people, mostly in the form of population control.

To me, to most striking example was what happened during covid with lockdowns, and public shaming. And the worst is that the population generally agreed because it was "for the people's own good".

Same thing is probably going to happen now. They'll strike with a new set of measures attacking public liberties, but since it'll be presented as anti-riot measures, the population will probably accept them.

Note that this isn't particularely new. The US set the examples with post 9/11 laws that basically threw the constitutionnal values to the trash provided it was vaguely presented as helping fight against terrorism.

If for some reason you really wanted to compute Fib(n) for ridiculously large numbers of n, you would probably use that [Fib(n), Fib(n-1)] = A [Fib(n-1), Fib(n-2)] for the transition matrix A = [[1, 1], [1, 0]] and thus [Fib(n+1), Fib(n)] = A^n [Fib(1), Fib(0)] and then use exponentiation by squaring to compute A^n directly and thus Fib(n) in log_2(n) steps.
>Not to mention it pretty much allows you to play AAA games on the online from anywhere you can hold the thing

That was simply a tech issue. The PSP in 2004 was capable of playing games from last generation. it was pretty high tech for its time, and sold for about the cost of a Steam Deck's cheapest variant after inflation.

It also fit in your pocket, very comfortably. The one thing I feel handhelds gave up in their attempt to reach parity with modern consoles (and partially why I rarely take out handhelds anymore, in lieu of phones). I ultimately bought a GPD Win 4 because it was the smallest form factor while keeping those specs, but It fits in my pocket about as well as my high school jersey fits on my body 12 years later :(

>either did the old handhelds allow you to play two player on the same handheld on the go

That's a usability issue, not so much a hardware issue to innovate around. Even if the PSP was like a Switch, we're comparing a 4.3 inch LCD screen to a 6-7" switch/SD screen. over double the screen estate.

I think the real let down here was Sony not having the kinds of party game software that let multiple PSPs play with one cart, like some DS games did. Or at least, they weren't well known if they did exist.
I find it odd that I'm downvoted. Is the information I stated incorrect? Or simply doesn't align with the narrative in this thread of bashing Meta? I'm simply trying to stay objective. Facebook is as intrusive as it can be, even more than Threads can be I'd say. And it's running fine in EU. So, let's not ignore facts.

Same with me, signed up for the waitlist months ago. Even asked around about buying an invite code but that just seemed a bit sketchy for me, it's so easy to get scammed doing that.

I'd love an invite eventually so I could try it out and really form an opinion on the whole Threads vs Bluesky vs Twitter drama, but I fear it's going to take much longer and I'll lose interest entirely. Which is a shame because I actually really like Twitter and have actively used it for 10+ years, but man Elon is making it really easy for me to jump ship somewhere.

As I said, I took it off wiki and I did not verify sources further due to lack of interest in this angle (Wagner is equally despicable in my view).

Russia and Russian Military have a long and proven track record of lying without any shame or remorse, so I don't really care what the "official" standing of these units is. They are fed by Russia, armed by Russia and controlled by Russia, everything else is "Пыль в глаза".

Without downplaying the troubling beginnings of Azov (who aren't the worst offenders by a mile if you look at 2014-2015, to be honest) -- it has little bearing in 2023.

Ukrainian army went a long way cleaning up their ranks and becoming a professional army since then, they had trials and punished their own soldiers for committing crimes in ATO, which Russian side not only did not do, but encouraged.

The World is holding Ukraine to an impossible standard right now, magnifying every individual case and person to paint the whole country in bad light while turning the blind eye to one to Russian atrocities (See HRW about Cluster munitions for Ukraine vs silence on Russia using all sorts of forbidden weaponry).
OK, now I am intrigued by so many comments about how to do this yourself and, especially, for getting answers about your own document, which is what I'm really looking forward.

I checked many of the links you posted and, although I am a fluid programmer in several languages, I lack the specific python background that many of these links seem to state as a requirement.

Would any kind soul put me in the direction of an easy solution to run LLMs, potentially in AWS, that answers questions about your own docs? (I use Confluence but I can happily export pages.)

Based on however IDC defines a gaming laptop.

I'm guessing it's having a non-APU AMD/Nvidia GPU inside the laptop.

But it makes sense to me. Laptops have gotten much better, and most gamers aren't buying Nvidia 4090. The most common GPU is just a GeForce GTX 1650 which many laptops have and have thermals that easily fit inside a laptop.

It's not surprising at all that gaming laptops outsell gaming desktops. This isn't the 2000s anymore where if you want to play PC games, you build a DIY desktop tower and buy a discrete GPU.

It's a myth that most PC gamers use top of the range GPUs. Most of them use low-end or mid-range GPUs.

My experience with that is the opposite. Bought inks, one bottle arrived broken. Took me a few hours to get through to a place where I could put my complaint.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic on the majority of them not approving such a law, but in many countries, notably Germany, I think that wouldn't fly, but I may be wrong.

Does not really pass muster for "intellectuall honest discussion".
e.g?
I often start a conversation with a colleague with "Hello, how are you?", to which they may answer "Good, thanks... just coming back from holiday, was nice". Then I can ask about their holidays, and have an actual social interaction with them.

They can also say "I'm good, how about you?", to which I can answer "I'm okay, it is a bit stressful these days", and maybe we get another social interaction from that.

You know... just like if I meet a colleague at the coffee machine. I don't come, say "Please review PR 1342 when you have time" and leave.

Of course, if I just had coffee with that colleague, then on the chat I may just say "oh btw, did you have a chance to look into PR 1342?".

I would assume those are the basics of social interactions.
Except that there are other dashed lines on the map, dashed lines are a common way of denoting travel on maps, and the dashes in question are higher up than the disputed border is.
