I don't think they are subjective at all. Tor is inherently slow based on how it works. It has gotten faster since inception but even in last year or two it is a multiple slower. Until that is non-existent adoption will be challenging at best.

How can this be determined? I'd imagine that only those with direct access to the "which number belongs to which provider" database could see that a given number belongs to $comapniesKnownToOfferTraditionalPhysicalService versus $comapnyKnownToOnlyDoVOIP can know this for sure? It it just that some companies with this access are selling a "we'll look that up for you" service? Or is it simpler and i'm just over thinking it?

There are a few midjourney apis. Unofficial ones. See [1].

That said, I wouldn't recommend using one of them, they're not officially supported. Likely a better solution to see how you can get your style working with stable diffusion and then use a stable diffusion api (I've got a list of SD APIs too).

This is amazing. The other day I was looking to play "Don't Look Back" by Terry Cavanagh and the game is broken on his website:

Not really. Hoarders were already mass recording TV from home, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Stokes

Recording ~5 hours of television a night would have been a trivial cost for a network like NBC. Particularly compared to the licensing fees those hours would have had.
The hype has also been great at fueling economic activity which contributes even more across a wide range of sectors.

We know how to reduce carbon emissions immediately, we did a great job of it 3 years ago, we just don't like the answer: reduce economic activity.

Consume less, produce less, work less, spend less. These things will do more to reduce CO2 emissions than if everyone rushed out and bought electric cars (in the US ~oil~ gasoline consumption has been positively correlated with electric car ownership).

But we don't want that, and more importantly, the stock market doesn't want that. I think most people would be fine with reduce work and reduced consumption (to a point), but the people invested deeply in the status quo tend to have asymmetric influence.

In case Peter doesn't answer, my personal experience has been that you'll want a more stable work visa than an H1. Given your skills, one of you should be able to get one (and the other can come as a spouse and apply for a work permit with the right visa type). After a few years with that, you can apply for a green card (permanent resident status). I know people who have renewed those for decades without becoming citizens. Or, after a few years with the green card, you can apply for citizenship.

I know lots of Brits and Canadians in California who have also followed this path.

A lot of talk in here about H1B visas, and that's probably because they're the most plentiful. But, that's not the only type of visa that people should be thinking about.

Why would you ever trust a "startup"? "The little guy" doesn't have data protection practices and can't prove their existence even if he does. Cavalier practices all over the place--I know, I've both created those practices in a "we need to ship" crunch and I've also lobbied (sometimes even successfully) to fix them later. Google has a lot of practices that absolutely suck, but their privacy and data protection functions have teeth.

As to the rest of your post: the app developer in this thread is saying Apple should give him and his friendos special permissions ("trusted certificates") to not ask the user whether the user trusts them, and you're saying it's Apple's decision to require a user to affirmatively consent to having their pasteboard read by an app that is thuggish?

Honestly, I don't even know what agricw is, so that is no doubt true. I've been working on farms for 30-some-odd years, though, and my farming operation has been going for 17 years now, so I speak from that background. We plant once a year, we harvest once a year, etc. so the lessons to learn only come around once a year. Thus years of experience starts to become a decent proxy for what you are really trying to measure. Indeed, that doesn't work in every industry.

Even looking at the actual paper [1] I think no raindrop ever touched such a device during their experiments? In their extremely brief experiments section, they say "The water droplet was generated by the commercial infusion sets" which I think means ... they sprayed one of their devices with a hose? There's nothing which seems to indicate anything about droplet size, or rate of simulated rain. Did they use a pressure washer?

Not describing the actual amount of "rain" they sprayed on the device also makes it unclear whether their "5 times higher" number is an apples to apples comparison, esp since 200W is a _lot_.

> When the area of the raindrop energy harvesting device is 15 × 15 cm2, the peak power output of BAGs is nearly 5 times higher than that of the conventional large-area raindrop energy with the same size, reaching 200 W/m2

My uncle had a 1968 Dodge Charger in his garage, covered, that hadn't been taken out since then. At that time it was working, but the hoses and seals had deteriorated since (though the paint job was perfect) and he wanted it to be his retirement project to get it running again. Parkinson's set in and he wasn't able to follow through on that, unfortunately, and he ended up selling it for a considerable amount of cash.

This is one of those areas where the poor quality of the data influences the output, I think.

There are so many garbage, lazily written product reviews, by websites that only exist to get people to click affiliate links. These sites only have one goal, which is to get you to click an affiliate link and make a purchase. So it is not in their best interest to say "You shouldn't buy this."

Rather, they make a list of "top X Foobars", they start with a really expensive one, then they follow with a more reasonably-priced one, and give it a very positive review. It leads to clicks and purchases.

Given this, it's not surprising to me that even the best LLMs carry pieces of this with them. Ask it to predict text describing some tech product on a sales page, and of course parts of that low-quality data will bleed through.

> We're getting a little off topic here, but the Federal government has published specific guidance on de-identification of medical records.

But releases (even without patient consent, with an IRB waiver) of non-deidentified PHI data for research is allowed, and this is specifically because deidentification necessarily destroys elements that would often be necessary in research.

> You can construct some artificial scenarios where re-identification might be theoretically possible through record linkage with other data sources but in practice it's unlikely.

It is explicitly part of the HIPAA safe harbor standard that, in addition to removing the required identifiers, you cannot come up with such a scenario, and if you can, the data is not deidentified. (The last criterion of the standard is “The covered entity does not have actual knowledge that the information could be used alone or in combination with other information to identify an individual who is a subject of the information”.)

900 hours is a bit more than one month. Even if he only worked 24x7 that's over 5 weeks. Assuming 10 hour days and 5 days a week that's 18 weeks, just shy of 13 weeks if 10 hours a day and 7 days a week.

We just need to ban crypto in the USA through cutting off their access to dollar transfers and pulling exchange charters. The SEC should have never made it an asset. People who have crypto can still get their money out from overseas institutions and platforms, if not simply use it for what it was originally designed to be - peer to peer; not this "code for dough" paradigm it has become. Crypto had its time and we didn't replace the banks with it, so its true potential is gone now that the financial system has control of it.

In addition, the USA needs to create a single Civilian Social Platform just like we did the highway system. We need to validate people based upon their citizenship, and label people based upon their relative status to actual stakeholders in the nation.

I've come to a view that is an antonym personally whose difference is oddly semantic. The tech is neutral in itself but people can make absolutely anything political. There are no real constraints on sanity. They can make needing to eat and drink to survive political because admitting the obvious contradicts 'great leader'.
Let's define your major city as a metro area population (not just city limits, since that's often arbitrary) of over a million. How would you define "lost"? A population decline of over 20%?
Using language models for location or time based things is not recommended, as this usually requires non-textual data. Better to use them for general knowledge questions, programming help, translation, or writing. Asking them to do any complex calculations (especially when they also require non-text raw data, like inflation in a given time period) is also futile.

As a general rule, an F-1 student on OPT can apply for a green card. There are backlogs in all green card categories right now and this is really what determines the length of the process. So, assuming the backlogs don't change in any significant way, those in the highest category (EB1) from countries other than India or China could get their green card within 2 years but those in a lower category (EB2 or EB3) or from India or China should expect the process to take longer than 2 years.
What I’m saying is that Tor used to be, many years ago, annoyingly slow, sometimes even excruciatingly so. But today I don’t even notice that I’m using Tor. It might be “a multiple” slower, but I don’t notice it, is my point.
Well it doesn’t surprise me since I have been saying this for a while that these LLMs hallucinate nonsense to the point where you end up triple checking whatever it outputs.

LLMs thrive in applications that involve creativity and non-serious applications mostly around fantasy or creative writing. Anyone using them seriously outside of summarization for high risk use cases is going to be very disappointed.

Let's say I have a business/startup idea, funding is "fine" but I wish to just use Filipino nurses due to shortages - (or other skilled labor from the Philippines) -

Would it have to be solely through H1B? I've seen/witnessed that for certain types of jobs, e.g. teachers - alot of these barriers are moved.

What sort of obligations would a company have to first show that they tried but couldn't hire local people, or failed to relocate people to come?

Would this just be standard H1B process? There is no exact case here/situation, I'm just curious because - the nursing license is transferrable from the Philippines to many USA states (if not all?) and the Philippines is a country which is known to "export" it's people, mostly as "OFW" throughout East Asia and Middle East and as of late Canada.

I'm curious how this mechanism works - because it seems to be a win/win.

While that does seem overbroad, if the restriction were only on cases related to the data shared by the researchers, then for many cases there would need to be a demonstration that it did or didn't relate to the data, and there isn't really a way to do that without disclosing the data.

At least that's what I used to hear all the time. We've now seen that was hogwash.
In this case, you can rest assured that they’ve been doing a huge amount of work (both politicians enacting regulations, although funding could always have been better, local councils who worked on policies and outreach, scientists, and engineers) for the sake of having a clean river and more biodiversity.

Exactly. These are models that predict text sequences. These sequences often semantically express falsehoods, but the model's not "lying", it's not "hallucinating", and it's definitely not malfunctioning. It's doing exactly what it was designed to do.

There definitely are "lies" and "hallucinations" here though ... but they're coming from the hype-cycle-hucksters trying to convince us that this whole process somehow resembles "intelligence".
