I also would prefer that this split would not had place and that DragonflyBSD would never start ... but yet it happened ... so what?

Recently (as a seasoned FreeBSD user/sysadmin) I tried DragonflyBSD to check how it went ... and it lacks a LOT of things that FreeBSD has - like for example the GEOM framework.

On FreeBSD its quite easy to list block devices like:

FreeBSD # geom disk list

... but on DragonflyBSD its not possible as there is no GEOM ... so the only thing you can do is to:

DFBSD # camcontrol devlist

... but its far from usable and its very limited.

On FreeBSD I was able to write lsblk(8) Linux replacement ... I would not be able to do that on DragonflyBSD.

Yes - its a pity that such a talented person such as Matt Dillon left FreeBSD project - but DragonflyBSD is not a better replacement also ...

Yes you are, your natural gas subsidized, i.e. government handout, i.e. you're not paying the real market cost.

Second, heat pumps do not have issues with cold temps, unless you're at like -40c. They're used all over the nordic countries - including above the arctic circle.

Your energy grid is shit, which is why your electricity price is so high.
That may be the idea here, if one wanted to bamboozle the site into stopping search engines from indexing them.

I heard yesterday that they already blocked googlebot and got delisted, but I didn't confirm, and I guess that was false.
No, they're trying to make sure that the right people bear the brunt of inflation.
Crystal consists of many raw materials with silicon dioxide making up the majority of the mix (70+%). Titanium dioxide is melted in with everything in a brand-new solar powdered furnace that runs up 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit iirc.

Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal which is why it's used in the most demanding applications like rockets.

Each glass manufacturer uses their own recipe and pretty much all of them use aluminum, rather than titanium, as their strengthening additive simply because it's exponentially cheaper.
Deploying my pet project on a Linux virtual server.

At that time I worked with some enterprise software on Windows, and any particular setup was so fragile, that it caused anxiety to touch anything and learned helplessness preventing experimentation. It didn't help that built-in diagnostic tools on Windows in the XP era were virtually non-existent.

Linux VMs in contrast were (and are) disposable, have all their guts exposed, and CLI is your only way of doing things. You're welcome to experiment, and basically forced to automate.
I recently saw a transport nerd claim that US and Canadian (though interestingly not Mexican) busses were substantially and objectively worse in build and ride quality than European busses, even when they share the same engine components.

Which I guess similarly explains a lot of weird conversations and people talking past each other where busses are concerned.

Relying on nonenforcement is a monumentally foolish business decision.
Correct. Essentially the root of the issue is that the news sites believe that the value is in their article, but in reality for the majority of users the value is in the headline, which the news sites give away for free along with the link so that they can be indexed.

In my opinion, the answer here is for the news sites to not show any headlines for free, and require a login to access all content. Then, they are free to negotiate with google and meta and others if those companies want access to the content. It wouldn't require any new laws.

They would need to solve users being able to post links, but a link shortener of sorts forcing the user to write their own headline in the post would probably do the trick. Most people would still want to see the actual headline, and then they'd be forced to login or at least view the page.

Exactly. All that is needed for AGI to eventually be developed, is that humans do NOT have some magical or divine essence that set us apart from the material world.

Now the _timeline_ of AGI could be anything from the a few years to millennia, at least if evaluated 40 years ago. Now, though, it really doesnt seem very distant.

If you live in a world where the entirety of a corporation was paperwork and robots, that’s a very astute point.

It's interesting how a sufficiently large local norm can affect perspective. I thought everyone had heat pumps for the longest time. I've rarely seen a building without them. I also live in the southeast where they're at their best.

Then this recent rise in popularity elsewhere dispelled that notion.

More precisely, we got who we brought to power in all elections, local up to national elections, in the last 20 years or so.

The choices given in the last elections were between mostly shades of authoritarianism, and I don't believe any other major candidate would have behaved any better here, and that's not to defend Macron's recent accelerated downward spiral... and most people were complaining about the available choices in presidential and parliamentary elections (as I did). We got the people we voted for (or refused to vote for, too, see abstention numbers) at all levels. You don't get a national-level movement without feet on the ground and a constant political effort.
I understand that, and the public narratives being spun by the private sector about “Twitter Files” in an attempt to prevent government intervention in future cases where coordinated disinformation is used to attack governments and control its citizens.

Scary government is disproportionately represented in the story you linked, that’s all I’m observing here.
Does this mean I can buy watery maple syrup that is 2x watery for less than half the normal cost like maybe a quarter of the cost? Or does the volume and weight for shipping and handling offset that savings or does no one want watery syrup so there is no market so they don't make it?

It’s important to note that the energy needed for RO to work is due to the high pressures needed to ram that little H2O molecule through that virgin nanohole. 700-900wh for a trickle of 14gal/h. At least that what I’m getting on my sailboat.
I’m curious which areas this occurs on earth and what percent of population live there. I would guess a negligible portion. In the US, I would think it’s almost nonexistent. I’m from Minnesota and went to university in North Dakota - places with some of the coldest and most severe winters in the US. +40C in the summer and somewhat regularly down to -40C windchill temperature in the winter. If it were me, a place with actual air temperature of -40C with any kind of wind occurring would require multiple forms of heating for me to consider it safe for my family relying on only one or even two sources of heat doesn’t seem reasonable.

You're seeing what you want to see.

They're repeatedly very specific about the whole "this can kill all of us if we do it wrong", so it's more than a little churlish to parrot the name "ClosedAI" when they're announcing hiring a researcher to figure out how to align with anyone, at all, even in principle.
> Simple RTF editors are surprisingly few

RTF isn’t standardized and, reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format I get the impression there are fairly wide differences between versions.

From the same page, it also isn’t simple:

- files can use at least 18 different text encodings.

- you can include Unicode code points, but if you do, they “must be followed by the nearest representation of this character in the specified code page”

- if you want to create a table in a RTF file, it seems you have to include an OLE object

- for compatibility with existing files, it seems an editor will have to support Windows meta file format.

So, I would guess any simple RTF editor would be incompatible with a significant fraction of existing RTF files.
I suppose that the real news story would be that they've found some subreddits that haven't gone dark or been sabotaged in the protest.
Interestingly, there is one house that I know of with both hot and cold freshwater plumbing as well as hot and cold salt water plumbing: the Breakers mansion, built by the Vanderbilts. I'm sure they spent fortunes maintaining that plumbing and think the tour guide said something to that effect, but everything was a show of wealth there. One room featured platinum wallpaper, because, why not?
I’m not really qualified to comment on the results, but I like the approach and I like the fact that animal life is being recognized as being richer and more similar to human life than in the past. I stopped eating animals when I realized this several years ago.
I fully agree with what you say, with one bit of nuance to point out:

> Like if you go to the copyright office and try to register your ssh public key and say "this was generated by ssh-keygen i had nothing to do with it" you may get a different result than if you said "this is my new visually stunning masterpiece, my ssh public key, which was generated with computer help but I used 37 precisely timed keyboard smashes to do it. Prints are available from my gallery for $500"

The important thing, of course, isn't whether the copyright office denies to register your copyright, but instead what courts will ultimately do when you attempt to enforce your copyright.

We know the current administrative algorithms used by the copyright offices. We have less clarity on what courts will ultimately do.

It resembles lossy compression in some ways, but in other important ways I think it doesn’t?

Like, if one has access to such a model, and doesn’t count it towards the size cost of a compression/decompression program nor as part of the compressed size of the compressed images, then that should allow for compressing images to have substantially fewer bits than one would otherwise be able to achieve (at least, assuming that one doesn’t care about the amount of time used to compress/decompress. Idk if this is actually practical.)

But unlike say, a zip file, the model doesn’t give you a representation of like, a list of what images (or image/caption pairs) it was trained on.

Or like, in your analogy with the lower resolution of the movie, the lower resolution of it still tells you how long the movie is (though maybe not as precisely due to lower framerate, but that’s just going to be off by less than a second, unless you have an exceedingly low framerate, but that’s hardly a video at that point.)

There is a sense in which any model of some data yields a way to compress data-points from it, where better models generally give a smaller size. But, like, any (precisely stated) description counts as a model?

So, whether it is “like lossy compression” in a way that matters to copyright, I would think depends a lot on things like,

Well, for one thing, isn’t there some kind of “might someone consume the allegedly infringing work as a substitute for the original work, e.g. if cheaper?” test?

For a lower resolution version of Star Wars movie, people clearly would.

But if one wanted to view some particular artwork that is in the training set, I would think that one couldn’t really obtain such a direct substitute? (Well, without using the work as an input to the trained model, asking it to make a variation, but in that case one already has the work separate from the model, so that’s not really relevant.)

If I wanted to know what happened in minute 33 of the Star Wars movie, I could look at minute 33 of the compressed version.
If it’s just off the coast as in “territorial waters”, there’s the concept of innocent passage in international law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_passage) - although the US are not part of this UN convention. If the criteria for innocent passage are not met, “the coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorial sea to prevent passage”.

Edit: I guess in more tricky situations e.g. the ship isn’t obviously armed or spying, it comes down to questions similar to probable cause.

When I needed a new air conditioner a couple years ago I was quoted $17,000 for a heat pump. I can only guess at that point whatever energy cost savings it would bring would never be realized within the service life of the system. I went with a $6000 standard replacement AC unit.

IMHO, the printf-style API is superior to the stream based API, because it can be adapted into a logging API that defers string formatting or delegates it to another thread. Overloading by type can be accomplished with printf-style API as well. Cluttering business code with string formatting can be a liability in code that needs to be performant/low latency, which is one of the primary reasons people use C++.
