Ah, I mis-interpreted that.. and I agree. I hate the custom/uniques that lego builds with some lame co-branding like a movie with DC/Marvel....

There was a call to action, not a question: 'please confirm flax contract'. The thumbs up could easily be interpreted as 'understood, will confirm', and personally that'd be my interpretation, given the situation. It seems especially likely if there wasn't much of a delay before the response was sent (sufficient time to adequately review the contract).

> FWIW, France became an empire, then was restored as a monarchy, then back an empire and monarchy before it became a republic durably.

You left out “republic again” between “restored as a monarchy” and ”back an empire” (and actually, even that leaves out the July Revolution which was a change between two different monarchies, and not just different monarchs, in 1830.)
Fresh water isnt a "public good", technically or economically speaking. A "public good" is a commodity that is neither rival or excludable. This means that the quanity or quanity is not deminished by people using it, and that you cant prevent anyone from using it. A lighthouse or public radio are examples of public goods.

Fresh water, economically speaking, is a classic private good. It gets consumed as someone uses it, and can people can be easily restricted from acess if they dont pay.

Isn't the real issue with Carbon Emissions that they ACCELERATE climate change such that the planet is not able to adjust to the changes.

The earth has undergone many climate changes before however these take place over tens of thousands of years.

Maybe giant solar flares, intense volcanic eruptions (with enormous amounts of smoke), huge asteroid collisions are comparable in terms of rapidly affecting the Earth's climate previously.

I think Andreas' point is that although there are more specs and they contain more details, they are far less ambiguous so that a careful reading allows one to achieve correct functionality without guesswork. Since he's worked on browsers for many years, I'm inclined to believe him.

Also, if you watch his browser hacking videos, you can actually see this play out live. He finds a layout problem, searches for the relevant spec, and reads through until he finds which detail was missed. He then literally copies that spec chunk into the code, then conforms the code to it. I find it fascinating to watch and I think justifies his claim.

As for Google moving the goal posts, if you read through the interview, you can see he's not interested in following bleeding edge, he's interested in the solidified parts of the spec that people actually use today.

Alas, I'm not sure a union can begin to fix anything except a few cosmetic things. The biggest problem is the massive oversupply of people who want academic careers versus the number of real jobs. The individual unions at the schools can't tackle this oversupply at all because it's caused by the schools acting independently. The natural game is to protect the insiders by restricting admission like many of the other unions like the AMA that actively campaign against too many doctors.

Indeed, the unions risk the bad optics of campaigning to reduce new admits in order to maintain opportunities for those already in the pipeline. In other words, slamming the door shut on people who want to learn all to restrict supply of work for the privileged.

I suppose the unions might be able to help in the rare case of a real jerk of a professor who mistreats her students, but I think most professors are smart enough to play passive aggressive games instead. The schools nurture the ability to act passive aggressively.

The rest of the time, the students in the union are going to waste their time arguing about something instead of working on their dissertation, the one thing that will spring them from the jail.

Single digit cents per query (let's say 2) is A LOT. Let's say the service runs at 10krps (made up, we can discuss about this) it means the service costs 200$ a second i.e 20M$ a day (oversimplifying a day with 100k seconds, but this might be ok to get us in the ballpark), which means that running the model for a year (400 days, sorry simplifying) is around 8B$, so too run 10krps we are in the order of billions per year. We can discuss some of the assumptions but I think that of we are in the ballpark of cents per query the infrastructure costs are significant.
Nope, Toyota uses a pretty complicated arrangement of an ICE mechanically linked to the wheels and two electric motors able to send power back and forth and a planetary gear transmission between them. It’s an amazing system that makes it feel like the ICE isn’t even driving the car directly, but most of the time it actually is.
a bigger, widely accessible success can directly translate into people having small and local successes with it/on it. people have their smaller groups, local stuff, their own success, which may be smaller in scale, within bigger communication platforms.

>> The govt should be able to sue the company for more than it’s worth and simply nationalize it if it wins. Think of it as a death penalty for corporations.

> They lack the ability to simply regulate, let alone run a company.

Who says the government would run the company? The meat of the policy is all about wiping out existing shareholders to incentivize them to make sure the company doesn't do stuff like pollute a bunch of groundwater. The policy could (and should) immediately sell the company again via an IPO of reissued shares. The proceeds could go to some cleanup or compensation fund or something.
If they raised $35million, you're not accounting that venture funding especially at this scale is preferred shares.

This means that the vc money requires 7-9% per year payback on liquidity event until any other equity gets any money.

This means you're likely subtracting 1-3 million per year from other equity holders based on $35mn raised
Indeed. But FIPS is not the only problem. Both the McGrew/Viega spec and subsequent NIST spec of GCM mandate a 4-byte counter - any departure from that would be "no longer GCM".
Right now the closed models are incredibly higher quality than the open models. They're useful as a stopgap for 1-2 years in hopes/expectation of open models reaching a point where they can be swapped in. It burns cash now, but in exchange you can grab more market share sooner while you're stuck using the expensive but high quality OpenAI models.

It's not cost-effective, but it may be part of a valid business plan.

Assumably some backchannel conversations with existing advertisers or advertisers she’d like to lure back, assuring them that Twitter is a stable platform and its users will be able to do things like, for example, see tweets, for the foreseeable future.
Exactly. There’s a lot of danger waiting for you when you grow up and leave home. Money would certainly solve some problems, but if everyone knew every 20 year old had a big check they could go get a piece of, it will cause many more problems.

30 year olds will also have the same bullseye painted on their backs, but will at least have experience.
Yes, I guess, properties like projectile/player velocity? Network prediction is a bit tedious to do because it's a lot of fine tuning.

It's only useful for latency sensitive games like FPS games or any games that involves simple physics with player versus player situations.

> How the hell we know this current changes are completely abnormal?

Doing science. Thing is, unlike what everybody likes to pretend, doing science means to do a lot of tedious hard work and not a whole lot of quick explanations. So the thing is, that we understand the physics of dilute gasses at roughly room temperature phenomenally well, we did all the experiments of putting this gas into a piston, and then heating the piston slightly, and then do it with a slightly different gas mixture, and then we double checked all these experiments and finally we got a pretty good theory sometime around the turn of the 19th century. Then you start to integrate all that knowledge with a knowledge of radiation basis, and you start doing cross checks and try to understand weather, and at some point try to start forecasting wether, with all the associated trouble and that was then sometime in the let's say 1960ies or thereabouts. (During WWII the flying wing of the US Army had meteorologists at all airfields, I believe German news started to broadcast weather forecast in the late 60ies.) Then you do all that with bigger computers and quite a bit of theory of partial differential equations, and then you realize that understanding the 11 year average is a much much better defined problem than next weeks weather. And all of these steps do suggest different cross checks. (Actually in the Physical Science Basis part of the 5th IPCC report there is a chapter called Evaluation of Climate Models ([0], p. 741), which goes into quite a bit of detail on the most recent efforts along those lines.)

I also get the feeling that the whole thing is shoehorned for the obvious purpose of being contrarian for the obvious reason that being mainstream doesn't separate you enough from the pack to sell. So: arguing that national dish IS A REAL THING would require a much more elevated level of content and research. Claim the contrary with shallow arguments mixed with "I traveled The World to experience it myself" and easy peasy, must be true because.

Other than that, National Dish is as much a thing as National Language. Take Latin / Romance languages for instance. It's something of a trope that in the old days (before modern communication and standardization of "national language" with one dialect proclaimed "the reference" and evangelized through media), going from Rome to Paris to Madrid meant every two adjacent villages would understand each other but 100 villages away this would cease to be true. Language changed so it makes just as much sense that food recipes changed.

This is brilliantly illustrated for the Balkans region by Key & Peele's sketch "Macedonian Café": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1KiFON-GWg

There's "Ćevapi" as "national dish" of Bosnia, a country the size of a pea grain so sure, THEY invented it. In fact it's the exact same situation for Latin dialects. Go from Bosnia to Serbia to Romania and every two villages will make a ćevapi that's similar enough but 100 villages away the flavor and recipe would have changed enough to create the "Macedonian Café" situation :)
If you have the time and know-how, you can build your own system off of Ubuntu Base[0]. It's as barebones you can get with Ubuntu - doesn't have snap or any other crap the "minimal" ISO does. You'd need to chroot into it to install the kernel, and you'd probably want to generate an initrd image. I have an example of how to do this on GitHub that you can steal from[1].

I agree, but Google is the slowest.
They're called taxes. You want the service--pay for it.

Using fines as a "revenue source" introduces so many perverse incentives into the system that it automatically becomes corrupt.

See: the incestuous relationships between the towing/repossession companies and the police.

Fines are good as deterrent. Fines should always go back to the public--they should never become state revenue. This breaks the incentives.

> URLPresenceNotGoodSignal

> There are a variety of situations where you (in the sense of programs and systems) want to know if a web server supports something or is under someone's control. One traditional way is to require the publication of specific URLs on the web server, often URLs with partially random names. The simplest way to implement this is to simply require the URL to exist and be accessible, which is to say that fetching it returns a HTTP 200 response. However, in light of web server implementations which will return HTTP 200 responses for any URL, or at least many of them, this simple check is clearly not sufficient in practice. The mere 'presence' of a URL on a web server proves very little.

> If you need to implement this sort of protocol, you need to require the URL to contain some specific contents.

Hey Everyone, I recently published a chrome extension SideTab Pro that tries to solve the issues we face around managing chrome tabs like:-

Finding the right tab across a plethora of tabs: This provides a scrollable vertical view within the side panel.

Grouping chrome tabs under tab groups feels more of an overhead: You can easily create and edit new tab groups by just drag and drop.

Left or Right placement: Side panel and be configured to be placed at right or left side of the window.

Apart from the issues,

It always keeps the horizontal and vertical view in sync. You can change one and it reflects in the other.

Provides a beautiful UI that makes the overall experience of managing your tabs pleasant.

Supports both dark and light themes.

You can easily organise your tabs and tab groups using drag and drop.

You can use keyboard shortcut to open and close the UI.

Please give it a shot and let me know what you think. Thanks!

So from this hacker news title I definitely thought it was saying that when you give some AI agents a self reflection like maybe by putting an internal monologue loop then they unlock an emergent animal-like exploration behavior.

But this is not what happened. Instead, some guys told AI agents to explore in the way that the guys think that animals explore. "Stanford researchers invented the “curious replay” training method based on studying mice to help AI agents"

Contents of tweet for people with rate-limiting and other Twitter-related issues:

Text: We won. [heart emoji] [fist emoji]

Debian mini.iso, with the option to not install additional packages is also pretty minimal, and text-only. You can install your desktop later via apt.

Ubuntu used to have a mini.iso too, and it was almost indistinguishable from its Debian counterpart. Both distros relied on apt, and since these minimal installs essentially just contained whatever was needed to have a working system running apt, they were essentially the same, with slightly different default settings. The biggest difference was the release cycle and the attitude towards proprietary software.
By the time it was really easy to pirate Dreamcast, the consoles were being clearanced out for $99.
So why does Ubuntu push Snaps so hard? They've been doing this for year and I still have no idea, since pretty much everyone I know would rather a deb file (myself included). What's their gain?
If you're finetuning your own model, the closed models being "incredibly higher quality" is probably less relevant.
That still valuable as it explain the original intent of the code, especially together with vcs history. When debugging strange issues even cryptic hints can be useful. Even merely the fact that someone thought that commenting a specific bit of code was required can be valuable.

>If gov speech is inherently coercive, then the gov is NOT allowed to make that request. (which feels dumb to me) In reality, it's more likely a court would hold they can say that; they just can't imprison the publisher (or audit their taxes more aggressively) as a result.

Governments absolutely can be coercive, but that doesn't mean all government speech is coercive.

Claiming (you're not, just expanding on your point) that government speech is inherently coercive is ridiculous on its face.

My local government sends me a "voter guide" a couple months before every election. By that logic, that means the government is coercing me to vote.

CISA[0] sends me multiple emails a day telling me to apply patches or mitigations to address vulnerabilities/security issues.

CISA is a government agency. By that logic, by doing the above, they are coercing me to manage my private property to their whim.

The CIA is a government agency. Their "World Fact Book"[1] argues against travel to certain destinations. By that logic, they're coercing people to only travel where the CIA wants you to travel.

There are hundreds (thousands?) of other examples of government speech that isn't coercive. Was there coercion WRT communications between the government and social media companies? I have no idea as I don't know all the facts of the case. And neither does anyone posting in this thread.

If the government was coercive, then let's (metaphorically) put them up against the wall to be shot. If not, then let's do it for real. /s
