I find little meat in this burger.
Let us say we have 33% conversion efficiency to electricity. Then we make microwaves in a magnetron at 65% efficiency of a coherent nature and beam that to an antenna on earth that uses GaAsFet synchronous rectification that is also about 50-65% - due to beam spread etc. So ~~1500 watts/M2 = 500 electric watts = 325 watts into the transmitter = 211 radiated = 137 watts useful DC. Better photo cells, multi layer perovskite/silicon might get the initial conversion to 40% = a bit better, as the earth based degradation of perovskites by water is absent. It still looks like a lean burger - for now, it might improve stage b stage?
A better focusable mirror 1Km across might explode minefields/ammunition or incentivise Russian troops to move to a cooler spot - if space wars are on the agenda. Russians would do it if they could??

What Is IPSG?
IP Source Guard (IPSG) implements source IP address filtering based on Layer 2 interfaces. IPSG uses a binding table to maintain the mapping between information such as IP addresses and MAC addresses of hosts on the network. By comparing packet information with the binding table, IPSG prevents malicious hosts from using forged IP addresses to impersonate authorized users. In addition, IPSG prevents unauthorized hosts from accessing or attacking networks using forged IP addresses.
My Wilks score is 442.
"Inherently" might be too strong of a word, but the default implementations of a lot of key operations are nondeterministic on GPU. With the parallel nature of GPU compute, you can often do things faster if you're willing to be a bit loosey-goosey. PyTorch and TF will typically provide deterministic alternatives, but those come at a cost of efficiency, and might be impractical for LLM training runs that are already massively expensive.

>If you believe that books should exist without copyright, then one has to ask --- how many books have you written which you have explicitly placed in the public domain? Or, how many authors have you patronized so as to fund their writing so that they can publish their works freely?

i don't know about you, but for the use case where you want to build some strength and stay there without having dreams of bench-pressing 7000lbs this is great.

I think if you can do bench 2 plates, squat 3 plates and deadlift 4 plates you are already stronger than 90% of all people (including people that do all this crazy programs).

If you can get that done in 30 minutes with 2 workouts per week I am calling it a massive win. It allows you to maintain muscle and bone mass as you age. Hitting a plateau is fine with me.

Now, if your goal is not that it is fine, but ultimately it's about what your goal is.
It didn't work poorly back when X clients were actually using Xlib for drawing primitives performed by the display server.

It started working poorly when X clients started rendering everything locally in the client and simply pushing pixels to the display server.

I do find that really interesting actually, though I disagree in the context of Code, reading is not a habit, it's a skill you need to practice.

Wayland is intended to be a successor, but remains behind in a nonzero number of cases, which is why most Linux distros do in fact ship both.
> At the very least, the employees should be trained to tell people about the in-store pickup option.

If they were going to train employees to tell customers about that, they could also just... let their employees ring someone up without an appointment. It would take exactly as much time as explaining the work around would, and would be even less likely to leave a bad taste in a customer's mouth.
I think you're right that it'll be tried, but seems unlikely to work. All it takes is one person in the enclave to leak it, intentionally or accidentally.
That's a shame. Windows 7 is the last good Windows.

I'm not convinced that later versions of Windows have some incredibly useful APIs that cannot be called dynamically and need to be used unconditionally.

This chase after new APIs also makes the program harder to support in ReactOS and Wine.
Blindsight is disturbing? I guess the Captain did some questionable things...

I liked that book a lot. It'd be a tragedy to find that being censored anywhere.
> I think it will eventually start to suffer benign neglect, and stop keeping up with new hardware.

At least on Linux, Xorg and Wayland compositors use the same underlying APIs, so the chances of Xorg not running somewhere Wayland runs are pretty much zero - unless said new hardware is only exposed via a new kernel API and nobody bothers to update the modesetting driver for it and/or to write a new Xorg driver for the new API.

You're absolutely right. I think the problem is that connecting everyone to everyone is a mistake. As John Oliver (I think, I can't find the source of the original quote now), puts it, "Facebook is the Walmart of social media." Yes, everyone and your mom is on there... but that means every post is going to be seen by your mother. That is frankly, terrifying.

Building on your analogy, it'd be like if in the real world your local pub mates and your business friends met. These are two different communities that most certainly cannot be welded into a single forum.

>I suspect (maybe hope?) we are going to start seeing organic social start happening as groups start trying to increasingly assert their own identities and moderation policies that are incompatible with a global standard.

I think this is exactly what you're seeing. Of all the different social media models, personally, it's reddit and discord that won out for me, along with a smattering of more niche like Hacker News and the discussions page on Github.

You can't and shouldn't build a community that satisfies everybody.
> ... if people can’t respond to vendors they pay money to, we’re really at a loss.

You're hurting your company's reputation by denigrating your customers like that
People's feelings about you are based on a series of accumulated interactions. You can't just "deal with it" later, because that's now how people work. This isn't like tech debt where you can accumulate some and then spend some timing working it down later. If you're consistently an asshole to people, it doesn't matter if you take a little time now and then to try to repair that. Good relationships require taking people's feelings into account and acting consistently.
There’s a rumor that the supply chain is constrained by the displays, something like 1 million units max?

If true, no need to push hard to sell these this year.
Sample size is 716. Time period was 5 years. The sampling process was carried out by property owners as volunteers and involved several steps. Several detections were at or below limits for current testing methods.

And the study, much more rationally than the headline, concludes:

"Modeled results indicate that on average at least one PFAS is
detected in about 45% of US drinking-water samples. Results also
indicate that 1) detection probabilities vary spatially (8% in rural areas
up to > 70% in urban areas/areas with a known history of PFAS
contamination), 2) drinking-water exposures may be more common in
the Great Plains, Great Lakes, Eastern Seaboard, and Central/Southern
California regions, and 3) temporal variations in concentrations/detections may be limited"
I thought waypipe covered that?
"That's it?" is my immediate reaction.

Maybe per year? Paid out by all former executives from the point PFAS were manufactured?... after all, if they claim responsibility and the associated bonuses for the good stuff, they should be held accountable for the bad too, right?
Letter of indulgence.
Hah, fun, i got stuck too early though.
>In my experience, running X11 over a network worked very poorly.

Well in my experience, running X11 applications using network transparency works perfectly fine. It can be a life saver when your server is a proprietary UNIX, these are still in many Fortune 500 companies.

I have/still use network transparency as: Linux/BSDs <-> BSDs/Linux and Linux <-> AIX.

I even ran a few (Xlib/Motif) applications as "Linux <-> Linux <-> AIX" where the middle Linux was a pass through server without any issues.

So, No issues with network transparency, that is why I will avoid Wayland as long as I can.

To the article, Wayland on OpenBSD looks like a very extremely project, wish you luck.
I’ll respond to this, once you answer this question and answer it directly without taking about America for paragraphs.

Do you think that the Russian army should withdraw from Ukraines internationally recognised borders, this includes Crimea.

We are going to include all of the LPR and DPR fighters in that statement, but I’ll consider them surrendering the same thing.
That's not what LLMs typically do, though. Pull up ChatGPT and ask it to recite Harry Potter for you. It'll fail.

Ask it to write a book similar to Harry Potter, and it'll make an attempt at it. But human writers absolutely do read Harry Potter and write similar books, and that's perfectly legal. There have probably been thousands of published books inspired by Lord of the Rings.

Of course it is. As I said, "when you have a mystery problem".

I'm not sure what you mean by "Without tooling".
The obvious use case is to comply with things like copyright and data protection laws (e.g. GDPR) without having to discard all models that used data unlawfully in training.

Even though they talk about removing biases from the model, I doubt this would make the model unlearn whole ideas/data patterns without severely damaging performance, which they clearly don't want.
For me, the biggest obstacles to improving in writing is getting feedback. It's hard because you need to ask people to read what you wrote and feedback is very subjective.

It's really different from software development where you can get immediate feedback without outside help(I am aware code reviews exist).
It isn't uncommon for vendors to ship with Qualcomm Secure Boot not enforcing.

Reading this, I find myself wondering who was the last American president who might have written an analysis on this level. Carter maybe? He was always underrated. Nixon probably too. Perhaps Obama could have, but by the time he was president it was already unthinkable for a US president to do such a thing.
Assuming this post isn't an ad, I guess you want feedback on your landing page.

My quick reaction: you're asking people to get on a waitlist to pay you money without showing them even a _clip_ of what they're buying.
Contrary to the majority of the thread here, I find this to be an architectural issue. For whatever reason the system was designed without a way to communicate important service and maintenance issues to the customer. That’s part of the good architectural design of a system – it must include human factors, communication among them.

For cases like this email is not enough. You need to do trial shutdowns where you disable access to the db unless someone acknowledges via web. Do it for maybe 24 hours so you know you catch everyone.
There's an interesting nuance here if you were to put a human in the place of the LLM. We have read thousands of works; does that mean anything we write is derivative?

I think the more disturbing part is the implications of consciousness being a kind of globally maladaptive local optimum. And it’s neat how the aliens are basically GPT-99.

The vampire stuff isn’t really disturbing at all.
What are “white people”?

I don't know but I do know that LLMs like chatgpt can be used to correct obvious errors in the way a human could, for example splitting words that should have a space between but don't, random wrong char4cters etc.
Also, given the production issues I'm wondering if this is being done to reduce returns. I'm curious what the return policy actually is.
Last year the EPA massively tightened its recommendation for PFAS in drinking water from 70ppt to 0.004ppt for PFOA and 0.02 ppt for PFOS[1]. I don't think anyone is enforcing anywhere near that level yet... CA is the strictest in the US at 5.1ppt.

The scariest part of this to me is that even if you do manage to get it out of your water at home through filters or reverse osmosis it's probably in all your food at high concentrations. At least as of 2019 in Canada and the EU PFAS levels in retail meat are at 500-700ppt and the US is entirely unknown [2].

It's also pretty tough to even figure out what filter setup to use at home since the NSF filter standards are still for the outdated 70ppt metric. Duke did a decent study on actual filters a few years back[3].

When I was a developer, nothing extra. Now that I don’t write production code and run teams, direct reports don’t either but I keep track & tell them to take a Friday off or log off early to help make up the difference.

If they aren’t going to offer payment, try asking for an extra day of PTO for every on-call incident or simply for the flexibility to “leave” early when there’s a heavy on-call period.
Sounds like a Business Analyst and perhaps Technical Writer. Not something the developer should usually spend most of their time doing, but a bit is good.
> category theorists tend to turn up, simply name things that other people have spent their lives working on

A lot of category theory (at least the more basic parts thereof) is about bringing together concepts that were isolatedly worked on in very different mathematical communities and formulate them in a unified way so that one can see a unifying pattern that was hardly visible before.

> What practical problems can I solve with it?

If you simply want to work on some topic/problem of your interest, category theory will likely be of limited help (except perhaps for finding a more elegant formulation of the things that you work on). If, on the other hand, you seek deep relationships between topics that to most people look unrelated, getting deeply into category theory is likely not a bad idea.

Thus: "from the perspective of someone who is interested in solving practical problem", category theory gives you rather little new problem solving techniques by itself. But category theory gives you a cool lookout to perhaps enable you to apply solution techniques from other areas, where without category theory you would not be able to see the relationship between the technique from a seemingly unrelated area and your problem.

If this means they'll have more resources to fix the horrible video streaming battery usage from Firefox running on MacOS... great.

Intel MBPs battery just goes from 100 to 0 when you stream a video call. Honestly even on an M1 Firefox uses a lot more battery than Chrome or Safari.

Makes it hard to recommend Firefox to people.

Now... as for people still running an OS from 2009... I don't have any comments on that, other than to say it's really hard to care about what people running a 14 year-old OS want. Imagine all the hardware is pretty much just running on luck at that point.

Remember how shitty it was to have to support IE6? And that was only really for like 10 years.
In an alternate universe in which Covid was very rare in a population (say 5 cases in an entire city), then contact tracing might be able to push R<1 if everyone who got an exposure notification quarantined for a few days. Sure, maybe 50 people would be quarantining at a given time due to false positives (potential exposures with no infection), but that would be a fine tradeoff to protect the whole city, especially if those people were appropriately compensated for the service they would be effectively performing and the infringement on their civil rights. The number of people inconvenienced per person protected from Covid would be very small (much, much less than one).

Of course, nothing of the sort happened in the US, and in a situation in which most of the population gets Covid anyway in relatively short order, the number of people getting false positive notifications per person protected from Covid was be very large, and the total benefit was very low.
Running a 14 year old operating system in the world we live in today is dangerous and stupid.

If you don't like newer Windows, that's fine, don't use Windows. But operating systems that old should be relegated to airgapped machines for historical purposes.

The annoyingly self-perpetuating truth:
- There are a lot of JS devs available to hire
- The ecosystem is huge and generally up to date (although you may have to bounce to a new framework for the same task a year later)
- New tools like TypeScript allow you to keep making the JS choice with a cleaner conscience even though it’s just transpiled back into vanilla JS.
- The mainstream alternatives are either not as fast to write or aren’t generally as performant as Node.
Totally feasible. Or, hey, put it on an SBC, use it as an incoming SMS proxy with a dedicated SIM so you can recieve 2FA SMS without need of having the SIM and a phone with you.
> OSs are going to choose one or the other at the end of the day.

Aside from specialized distros, i don't see why they have to choose only one or the other instead of providing both. Most distros - especially the Debian derivatives - have a ton of alternatives for projects that do more or less the same thing and a bunch of obscure projects, having an X server surely isn't that much of a deal.

Of course those that provide a default DE or whatever out of the box will most likely need to choose a default setting, but that is just that: a default setting. Just because my openSUSE Tumbleweed installation came with KDE doesn't mean i had to stick with it instead of replacing it with Window Maker.

There's nothing illegal about reading a book and then circulating your summary/review of it. This doesn't even get into issues of fair use because you aren't redistributing any of the copyrighted material in the first place, merely facts and your own opinions about it.

The separate issue that's concerning is that GPT can't be trusted to accurately summarize anything obscure at all, but it'll sure throw text at you nonetheless.
I don't think vendors can stop themselves from putting garbage in their ROMs. The OnePlus One had CyanogenOS, based on CyanogenMod. That didn't last long. Now I've heard the default ROM on OnePlus stuff is particularly bloated. I still use their hardware, but I only buy phones I can put another OS on, like LineageOS, or postmarketOS in the case of the PinePhone. I update the new-to-me phone right away to get the latest baseband firmware and such, then unlock/wipe/flash ASAP. Can't imagine doing it any other way now. If you buy a couple gens back of a OnePlus phone on eBay, they're pretty affordable.

There is a balance of warming up your muscles and getting your body accustomed to the feel of the weight, and exhausting yourself with too much warmup.

One other problem is that boot-from-usb is usually not enabled by default so you have to fiddle with bios boot order every time.

No, leave the normal boot order as-is. To boot from the USB, just hit the 'boot-menu' key on boot-up. The 'boot-menu' key varies according to brand of computer. In a Lenovo, it's F12, in an ASUS, IIRC, it's ESC. Just select the correct boot-device and away you go. It's the same method as when you install the OS on the computer from a USB.)
