Elon had this planned out from the start, 50 steps ahead.

Make an outrageously high bid on a site with no consistent profit, try desperately to get out of the deal, and fail (as a misdirection of course), alienate power users, kill 50% of revenue, totally nuke site reliability, lose all the top talent, and of course, rack up a pile of lawsuits a mile deep.

And only THEN, blow everybody’s mind by jettisoning a brand so valuable it is a globally recognized verb, rebranding using your competitors IP, and take over 50% of global banking.*

You fail to draw any attention of the recruiting practices of the security services. They haunt the corridors of learning with the complicit knowledge of the university staff, tapping the shoulders of new recruits. University's also work closely with the security services, professors are often used to manipulate and direct students into lines of research.

So when viewing the damming reports on the police (and military) being institutionally racist, I would go even further to argue that not only are these institutions racist, the university staff appear to enable these criminal practices, fuelling prejudice, discrimination and anti-meritocratic ethos by allowing such relationships to exist.

Thats the last thing I would want from a UK university, but the security services are hardly stealth or intelligent about their recruiting practices, perhaps demonstrating their hubris and pride before a fall.

I could argue that the USA approach to only having loyalty to money, breaks down these criminal institutions that masquerade as the pillars of society that think of themselves beyond reproach, an idea that cant be killed, because if you only have loyalty to money, you hold neither prejudice, racist or discriminating views of someone so long as their money is good.

So can you really sit there and argue the UK model is ethically better, unless of course your idea of a functioning society is one that secretly harbours racist, prejudicial, anti-meritocratic, royal right to rule characteristics?

When you launch the sandbox you have to select some kind of template (the implications I think aren't completely clear at that stage, I understand better now). If you're in the UK, there are two options, described as (from memory) 'early career with a pension and some savings' and 'mid-career with a defined benefit pension'.

It just doesn't really make sense as a coupling, if I'm early career with a DB pension or mid-career with DC it's not clear which is the better pick or how much it matters. As far as I can tell having selected one and played with it just briefly, it doesn't matter at all because all it does is set some numbers you can change anyway, there's no built-in knowledge/logic of specific country pension schemes or tax treatments?
No, AI experts which formerly were skeptical of an outsider's (Yudkowsky's) opinion, now changed their mind about it.

I don't know because I haven't read their fine print recently. Like I said, I moved my domains years ago.

But just because they say something in the fine print doesn't mean it will stand up in court.
I could be mistaken, but I don't think Zenbleed has anything to do with SMT, based on my reading of the document. There is a mention of hyperthreads sharing the same physical registers, but you can spy on anything happening on the same physical core, because the register file is shared across the whole core.

It even says so in the document:

Note that it is not sufficient to disable SMT.

Apple's chips don't have this vulnerability, but it's not because they don't have SMT. They just didn't write this particular defect into their CPU implementation.
Well, again, they're not very extreme. And they're just opinions I have, not exactly immediate calls to action. More of a guiding philosophy? But who knows, maybe I'll find it in myself to start a real campaign soon.

I mention them almost to explicitly virtue signal. I don't want to see a waitlist, and I like the norm of no-waitlists which is being enforced in this comment section... and I'd love readers and lurkers of the comment section to consider my somewhat-harsher philosophy as a valid one. Hence leaving a comment.. In a way it's a little micro-action of saying "hey world this philosophy is good you should share it" that hopes to have some small contribution to the plate tectonics of ideology-space.

Edge and Brave are based on Chromium. While Brave would likely block this API for a while (until too many sites require it and it would hurt their market share) they don't block most changes that Google pushes into Chrome so are still largely contributing to Google's power over the Internet.

So if you really want to disrupt Google's control over the web platform the only options are really Firefox and Safari.
Hmm, I don't think that list is correct. According to the Caifornia Independent System Operator:

https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html

Right now (4:30pm) about 41% is coming from renewables (according to the full-day graph, that number is only slightly higher earlier in the day when the sun is strongest). Since 75% of renewables generation in CA comes from solar power, that 41% will drop like a rock once the sun goes down (eyeballing the stacked graph, it's around 15% or so in the morning before the sun comes up). No way does CA's renewables generation average out to the 49.4% shown on that Wikipedia page.

For reference, here's the full day graph: https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/supply.html#sectio... (unfortunately I can't encode options in the URL, so you'll need to pick yesterday to see a full day, and select the stacked graph from the options to better see the breakdown). Natural gas alone seems well over 50% of the usage. Even at 1pm, when solar generation should be around its peak, natgas+hydro+nuclear is above 50% of generation.
High voltage direct current is the keyword. It is possible. Unfortunately the plans to build a giant solar farm in the Sahara and connect it to Europe never took off (for now). Losses are about 10% per 3000km. See also what the DESERTEC foundation does.

> Clearly watching 15 second short clips instead of reading books has had a detrimental effect.

This isn't clear and very much depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Want to get deeply engrossed in fiction? Sure. On the other hand, I'm currently reading a book about sleep training a baby that's ~20 years old, and it's way too long - just jam packed with repetition and fluff that doesn't help at all. There's really a few critical pieces of information that you need to understand in order to sleep train your baby, and then a few more secondary pieces of information that are interesting/useful context around why sleep training works and the studies that support the methods in the book.

Particularly since I have a four month old baby and thus very little free time, 15 second videos/blog posts/whatever other short form content on this topic would clearly be superior to reading the book.
Agreed. That question comes up often enough that I should really find a way to draw more attention to those embedded expenses during the plan creation process. That said, too many dialogs and "hey, look at this" indicators can become obtrusive after a certain point though, so it's always a balancing act.

Toyotas and Subarus circa 2003-2007 and tend to be pretty dumb and easy to repair compared to the cars being produced today.

But they're getting old, and safety systems in newer cars have come a long ways. Even I am considering picking up a Rivian or Bolt to get access to better safety systems.
I'm guessing the reason AVX512 took so long is that doubling the size increases complexity by a lot. This doesn't introduce wider vectors, so I don't see why it would take so long.

But who knows if AMD sees value in these new instructions/if there's market demand for them.
There's a perfectly good venue for this communication: a workshop.

Workshop submissions often don't need evidence. They just need a small kernel to spur discussion.

Without experiments, there is no hope of publishing this in anything more than a workshop. Nor should there be.

This is very true in my case. And I have justified this in multiple forms. First, I really need it, then its been proven over years I didn't use much. Later I purchased more stuff, reasoning being This is my last hurrah, buy it even if I don't need it, in few years I will have no desire left to buy anyway.

This didn't have disastrous effect as most purchases were smaller kitchen tools (<100 dollars) and most expensive was computer ( < 2500 dollars). After that I've been little more conscious.

To be fair, it seems a great number of folks use K8s because they can and/or because Google.

And if that criteria is good enough to justify its use then surely it's enough to justify the use of an alternative.

Frankly, the majority of software houses running K8s really don't need to.

Maybe its what I've had to do to avoid people from crashing into me. I've even had someone release what looked like a small deer in front of my car one time from the central reservation armco barrier on an unlit part of a dual carriageway at night towards the end of a 5hr stint of driving.

I think they were hoping I wouldnt see them and I'd be tired from such a long journey, and the use of a deer enables a car crash whilst being able to blame it on "wildlife"!

Manifest v3 itself is an improvement and is probably non-controversial. I can't see why anyone would think deprecating manifest v2 along with removing webRequest is a good thing. The latter is what everyone is mad about when they talk about "manifest v3". I'm not sure whether you're trying to making a nitpick point about the difference between the two, or you legitimately think the latter is a good thing.
Surprising even myself, I actually like this proposal. It does two things, one which is good, and the other which is not as bad as people are saying.

The good thing is to give browsers a way to attest to their inviolability to systems on the other end. This is generally useful! In particular, it opens up a huge potential for people to run what are effectively servers in their browsers - which was TBL's vision for the web in the first place.

The not-as-bad-as-you-think thing is that Google (and others) will use this to disable ad-blockers. Ad blockers are fundamentally dishonest, and people who use them may feel guilty for doing so. The more honest approach is to simply not consume the media. And this, it turns out, is better for society at large. Anyone who gets paid to talk ekes out a living by hacking the algorithm, making a brand, and telling people what they want to hear. It's bad and it's a bad system that makes the world worse.
100%. Absolutely toxic shit that these idiot governments can grant abstract ideas & thought dominion by whatever idiot happened to write a vague patent application first. Another sad sad case where governments are actively de-legitimizing something I believe in: governance.

There needs to be some real gains to roll back how overarchingly absurd software patents have become. You cannot patent thought & abstract ideas. What a horror this has become. But the situation will seemingly only ever en-mire itself, grow worse, create more constriction & difficulty, forever & ever. Thought cannot be patented, but here it is: disgraceful.

“75% chance of rain”:

1. It will definitely rain, on 75% of the relevant area.

2. It will definitely rain, for 75% of the relevant time period.

3. It will rain with an intensity of 75% of the maximum our instruments can measure.

4. Three out of four meteorologists think it will rain.

5. It will rain on 75% of the population.

6. It will rain on everyone, but 75% of the population forgot their umbrella.

7. It will rai

8. 25% chance of dry.

9. 25% chance of snow.

10. When you become trapped in a Groundhog Day-type loop and are forced to repeat today three more times, then a subsequent analysis will show that it rained on exactly three of the four total days. Probably.

Trademark is established by use. Registration can offer an extra level of protection, but is not necessary to own a trademark. Elon has been using his X.com since he bought it back from PayPal in 2017, which interestingly is around the time some of these other 'X' registrations took place.

While I agree with the other people in this thread pointing out that the web practically is the internet for the average user, I think this is an opportune moment to mention that Gemini exists, free of any kind of mass surveillance or advertising. It's like the web prior to Eternal September. I even have my own Gemini capsule[0] which has a live web mirror[1] statically generated from the former's content. Granted, Gemini is vanishingly obscure and relatively inaccessible compared to the web, but it's still cool that it exists.

What I'd like to do is create a website where:

1. There is a list of open source fine-tuning datasets on millions of topics. Like, anime, lord of the rings, dnd, customer service responses, finance, code in many programming languages, children's books, religions, philosophies, etc. I mean, on every topic imaginable sort of like a Wikipedia or Reddit of fine-tuning data sets.

2. Users can select one or more available datasets as well as upload their own private datasets

3. Users can turn-key fine-tune llama 2 or other pre-trained models

Right now, doing this kind of thing is way beyond the capability of the common user.

Microsoft owns a trademark registration for X [standard character] for certain goods and services (see: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=2693757&caseSearchType=US...). Meta owns a trademark registration for X (Stylized), which Microsoft apparently assigned to Meta (see https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87980831&caseType=SERIAL_...). Musk as been using X in various capacities since the 90s, and depending on the specifics of that use, may have some common law trademark rights in the mark.

Regardless of whether or not any party has a registration for a particular trademark/service mark identifying certain goods/services, the question about whether the marks should be allowed to co-exist depends on whether there is a likelihood that there will be confusion between the 2 marks in the marketplace (defining the appropriate marketplace is part of the test for any given likelihood of confusion analysis). There are some other concerns, such as dilution with respect to famous marks that may or may not come into play, but likelihood of [consumer] confusion is the root of it.

What combats enshittification is the commons itself. That is: if you can download a car, car manufacturers can't be rentiers. The commons isn't the same as "open", because it's about the norms, not the artifacts.

And sufficiently complex rentier schemes eventually collapse to the commons, because they resemble Ponzis: they get into the business of enslaving their neighbors because that keeps the scheme going. That's why historical empires have a definite lifespan to them.

What we've been going through with rapid progress in computing and networking is a series of these schemes, which have been the basis of "tech" as a distinct industry - IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, etc. At this point everyone is in on the game and looking for ways to make "smart" devices.

But what ordinary people are doing in response is a kind of turtling of their behavior: doing fewer things that are more aligned with the commons that remains. The pandemic lockdown experience saw a wave of this, with a lot of preference shifts that reverberated through the supply chain.

And so I see a vibrant "future of tech" existing in terms of defining robust commons spaces with norms that resist an entity coming in and saying "let me help you with that". It's just the nature of things that rentiers can always deploy an army of mercenaries to claim the space first, and then the commons gradually catches up by being more survivable in turmoil.
