I don't think that's a good analogy. A piano has N keys. You can press certain ones in certain combinations and write it down. That result is still copyrightable, because you can prove that it was an original and creative work. Setting knobs for a machine is no different, but the key differentiator is if you did it yourself or if an algorithm did it for you.
Neither was the original training data, which was copyrighted books, art, etc.

My first phone (a Motorola flip phone) bit the dust after some time in my pocket walking around below freezing temperatures. Some cells within the battery burst/swelled so the battery casing pushed away from the phone and lost contact. If I pushed it in, it worked as long as I maintained contact with the pressure.

Even better was the second year of the class (this lecturer lead the security side of the CS degrees). I took it in autumn 2013, just after the summer of Snowden. The class was just week after week of "I TOLD YOU SO! Look at these leaks! Look at these NSA details! Look at what we happens if we take this bit and stick it into LinkedIn and Google Street View and see where the developer of XKeyscore lives! Look at where this undersea cable goes, isn't that a bit close to Diego Garcia?! Look at this submarine and the bit carved out for an undersea cable splicing facility! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ALL FOR YEARS!"

As much as it sounded like the rantings of a tin-foil hat wearing madman, he was in fact quite accurate through a combination of having worked in government in computer security at a fairly high level for a while, and having deep technical knowledge about what was possible.

I miss his lectures, they were excellent, but I hear he's still going strong scaring freshers and running the on-campus teaching union, which is nice to hear.

This is unscientific anecdata, but my dad had celiac disease. After a few years, he got "bored" of it and refused to go along with the diet. Within a couple of years, he got vascular dementia (at a relatively young age) and ended up having a brain haemorrhage. The studies are pretty early stage on finding connections between celiac disease and brain damage but the TGM6 protein, common in people with gluten related sensitivities, has been implicated. So, and this is all spitballing for now, I think diet, and inflammation in particular, could prove to be a big deal. At least, I believe it's not following the diet that "got him", as it were.

All the arguments in favor of regenerative meat production that I have heard consider, and in fact stress all these issues. Your link was a technical debate about soil carbon storage, (which I suspect regenerative ag proponents would dispute the details of, which would be an interesting thing to get to the bottom of). It doesn't at all cover any of those other more important topics you brought up in this quote. Anyway, a smart guy citing his chosen evidence in a public debate hardly settles any issue either way.

"white oak pastures debunked", to avoid finding biased pro-regenerative papers, links to an anti-regenerative writeup:
https://civileats.com/2021/01/06/a-new-study-on-regenerative...

which says also:
"The new peer-reviewed study looks at the multi-species rotational grazing done on the ranch and found that White Oak’s approach reduced net greenhouse gas emissions of the grazing system by 80 percent. Regenerative practices helped sequester 2.29 megagrams of carbon per hectare annually. To put that into context, sequestering just 1 Mg of carbon per hectare each year on half the rangeland area in California would offset 42 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, roughly the annual emissions from energy use for the state’s commercial and residential sectors."
I think it's important to review the term "Zero Trust" because so many companies are getting it wrong.

Zero Trust does not mean: "No mor VPNs and private IP network ranges, everything is public. ::elitist hipster noises::"

Zero Trust simply means: "Just _because_ you're on a private network [or coming from a known ip], doesn't mean you're authenticated."

You should have every single one of your internal network services (like Metabase) behind a VPN like Wireguard or numerous other options. The sole purpose of this is to reduce your firewall log noise to a manageable level that can be reviewed by hand if necessary.

Obviously this isn't perfect security, but that's the _entire_ point: every security researcher says security should be an onion, not a glass sphere; many layers of independent security.

I consider it an utterly disgusting premise, that will:

- make OSS systems second class systems online

- make older devices second class systems online

- prevent people from modifying devices they own (as it'll break the chain of trust and therefore the attestation)

- prevent people from modifying software (custom builds of Chrome, Firefox, etc won't be signed and therefore break the chain of trust and therefore the attestation)

- prevent people from running browser plugins that do things browser authors don't approve of

But hey, from google's PoV, it's a giant win, they can:

- make it harder for anyone else to crawl the web, and therefore compete with google

- make it harder for people to not watch ads, preserving google's revenue streams

- make it harder for anyone to automate the web in ways they or other browser vendors don't like

The 'holdback' mechanism is a joke and I imagine would disappear after a year or two.

Feels like a really good reminder of why it's a terrible idea for google to both be in control of really large important web properties like google search, youtube, maps, ads, but also the single most popular browser.

edit: I hope Apple and MS push back, as they're both vendors with significant marketshare (Mozilla too, but they're smaller). At least if Apple didn't do it, it'd be hard to rely on in US/UK.
You have to account for the heat of the phone itself. It is not unusual for CPUs to operate at 90 degrees celsius.

Modern phones have a lot of power, generate a lot of peak heat from their SoC but has the worst possible cooling scenario - held near hit skin, covered in leather cases, etc. When you start at 35C you only have 25C left until the mentioned 70C, which components near the SoC Would quickly surpass.

Higher rating is unlikely to help much - you need less heat generated or better heat dissipation.
> However, most animals are raised on land that is not highly productive for crop agriculture. For example dry areas where most crops will deplete water resources or very hilly areas that are more prone to erosion and harder to operate tractors on

But a key point is around crop diversity, and the monoculture mode of production. From the original page:

> The world has over 50,000 edible plants. However, just three of them, rice, maize, and wheat, provide over 50 per cent of the world's food energy intake.

So for any dry hilly area being used as pasture, and which is sufficient to support grazing animals _without additional feed_, is it really the case that there are _no_ crops, or combinations of crops which could work there? Or is it just that we should do a better job of supporting farmers discovering other ways of making their land productive?

> Raising crops means completely altering the environment to an unnatural state

Raising crops _can_ mean that, but regenerative agriculture can instead focus on working with the environment. Certainly beyond organic, no-till methods, permaculture, "natural farming" are on a spectrum that can deliberately involve and support more complex ecosystems.

I think it's in kind of bad faith to respond with "but agriculture as most commonly practiced can be harmful and ineffective on some pasture land" in the context of an article arguing that we should radically shift how we practice agriculture.
After skimming it, I kinda think the only point they really needed to make was "Rust makes the core team happier". I think the person you're responding to's point, is lots of the things this post is describing about Rust are also true about Go, in which case they're just kind of...saying things...? Which, to be clear, I think is fine, I just also think these things clearly wouldn't be the catalyst for a full rewrite on their own. To then say "Our team also just likes Rust a lot" is, to me, the only real edge that Rust has over Go, based on the decisionmaking in this blog post. Your developer's experience is valuable, and caring about what your developers _want to write_ is admirable.

It doesn't have to be an argument, I am also just the type of person that thinks it's important to point out when people claim to do things for non-reasons.

That's an insane electric cost if it's comprehensive of everything including delivery fees plus taxes and surcharges (i.e. your actual monthly payment divided by total kWh consumed).

I'm in Illinois and we are considered to have fairly cheap electricity (and the highest (?) rate of nuclear energy in the States) but even with time-of-use billing heavily biased towards late night and the wee hours of the morning, I still paid net just over 10¢/kWh this past month. (State law mandates the availability of a real-time pricing option by all electric providers in Illinois.)

The reason I asked if it was calculable with the simple formula I listed above is that—according to ComEd—my price was 6.809¢/kWh, but that's not taking into account the ~34% of the total bill that's taxes and surcharges.

I will say that I never understood math until I took a computer maths course and I never understood computers until I took a languages and os class. Seeing how math can be used to prove algorithms, how functions are just functions, and how math is just a language to describe actions and laws made it make sense to me. Same with seeing how computer languages are just ways to abstractly think of the actions and data a computer can have.
Because I was curious about this: the use of "categorically" in the phrase "categorically false" doesn't directly relate to the concept of "categories" as groups or classes of things. Turns out it's actually related to the philosophical use of the term which originated with Aristotle and was further developed by Kant (see "categorical imperative" on Wikipedia).

"categorically" in this situation is used to emphasize the absolute, unambiguous, and unconditional nature of the falseness.
The challenge with these high production value teams is that where they start in the fact that they even exist is long after the question of whether developing AI can even be done ethically or securely in the first place.

Obviously there are cat out of the bag arguments that hold water, but the inequality, end of civilization, potentially catastrophic weaponization, and centralization of control issues that the development of AI raises are hardly settled debates.

Is this referring to you, or to your brother? That wording is highly confusing in English.

You would never say "my dad's son" to refer to yourself.

I learned how to read/write in my native language in 2 weeks. I learned half of alphabet first, then I figured out second part on my own, because our language has simple rule: "read what you see, write what you hear".

Active cooling effectiveness depends significantly on the delta between incoming temperature and the heat source temperature, and the relationship is worse than linear I think.
I would liken this to airplanes. They are similarly difficult to engineer and maintain, they can also go very very badly in mere minutes if operated incorrectly, they also have very costly recovery procedures if they crash somewhere populated.

For both systems there have been catastrophic accidents that were national tragedies, from which we learned a lot. "The rules of aviation are written in blood," and that is also true for reactors. Past failures like the one you linked don't mean that reactors are unsafe; if anything, because we had that failure to learn from, reactors are now much safer. If we had a volatile technology like nuclear reactors and none of them had ever had any accidents, then I would be very hesitant to have one in my home town since it could very well be the first to ever blow up.

I think the reason they have seen a lot of success where nuclear reactors haven't is simply up to the fact that they are both cheaper to build and that the public can very directly see where the benefit to them comes from, whereas nuclear power is abstract and indistinguishable from coal to the average person.
Jump flood is multi-pass and approximate not exact. I wouldn’t assume it’s faster for small input images, which is what the article is aiming for.

Also the distance transform algorithm in the article could be implemented on a GPU using a thread per row & column rather than per pixel. (At least in CUDA - I’m not immediately certain how to do it in GLSL but I guess someone could do it.) This is not optimal, of course, but parallelizing rows is perhaps a lot better than a single-threaded loop over the image.
As an EV owner I am concerned about the eventual battery death of my car, but the two Honda Civics that I owned prior to my Tesla both started breaking down and were more expensive to repair than to replace after ten years. The vast majority of ICE vehicles built today aren't designed to last more than ten years.
On top of that, your numbers literally don't add up. If a replacement battery costs >$25K, and that is "sometimes more than 25% the cost of the car", that would mean EVs cost well over $100K, which the vast majority do not. And if you can point me to reputable repair shop that can "totally rebuild" a 10yo Ford or Honda for <$2K, I'll go jump off a cliff.
You could think of credit card rewards as a form of price discrimination similar to coupons. Whether you get the higher or lower price depends on what you do. Credit cards with high rewards are discount cards.

There are many ways to pay and they have different discount rates. Some places have a cash discount, for example.

As a "tax," this falls on people who don't shop around for whatever reason. Some of them are wealthy and can't be bothered to play this game. Others might not find playing the game feasible for other reasons.

Not all value comes from being mass-produced by humans.

Specifically, the 20,000 species you're talking about, are

which has intrinsic value.

And if you really need to tie it back to humans, we need those native bee species, because the ones we've mass-produced are not as good at the job.

Well, you need to justify your new cost to the rest of the company/other people. Sometimes, you can't do it technically because you just want that shiny new toy so much that you write whatever you think would justify that. I saw that so many times when people were choosing new technology, many times going from X to Rust too. Like many other technical people in this thread, as a person who knows Go and Rust and experienced "migrations" like this one, I can tell you their justification is really technically weak, and I agree with the OP.
That’s a bad analogy because a human chose the values of those settings using their creative mind. That’s not at all the case with weights. This originality is the heart of copyright law.
See the sister comment by a_bonobo for a better insight than I have, since I'm primarily focused on biomedicine rather than ecology. My guess is that ecology (which I was peripherally involved in grad school) is one of the areas where amateurs could have the biggest impact, largely because the field is so woefully underfunded and fieldwork requires more dedication and time than money, other than living expenses! Collaborating on an existing academic project might be a great way to get started, both for training and learning about the open questions in the field.
