Here's a solid example - in 2016 all teslas came with free supercharging for life. In 2017 they changed it to be non transferable. If you buy the car directly from someone tesla won't know but there has been cases where they've found out (warranty repairs for example) where tesla then removed it.

If the seller didn't tell the buyer, or the seller themselves didn't know - who's fault is that?
I dont think conspiracy nuts need to join the dots when you watch this BBC documentary.

It explains the paranoia of the military which unfortunately is not recognised in the DSM strangely, but if you spend the 1hr watching this, I wont spoil how the British state were forced to come clean about their military fubar.

I think the military do a lot more biological and chemical testing on the population than they care to admit, mainly because its their responsibility to secure the country (any country) which means trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Just look at the RAND report on how covid nearly took out the US Navy!
https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/...

I even got to pick a (mad) scientists brain who worked at Porton Down the UK military biological and chemical testing place, they have stuff there which makes ebola look like a walk in the park, without going into any more detail.

Does anyone know why they used sheep in the anthrax tests? Its because sheep are natural carriers, and sheep shearers get infected quite frequently.

These kind of offers are just a byproduct of industrial capitalism, where money is the core cog in this machine that basically moves anything. And I find it hilarious people are attacking this guy for making such an offer, and yet everywhere around you most people and especially women won’t date someone who is poor or without a good paying job, except this guy is being straight forward about it to save time.
temporal coherence is def an issue with these types of models, though I haven't tested it out with ColorDiffusion. Assuming you're not doing anything autoregressive (from frame to frame) to do temporal coherence, you can also parallelize the colorization of each frame, which would affect cost.

Tbh most cost effective would be a conditional GAN though

Presumably that is why mean SAT scores are included - to show that despite having higher SAT scores than Black and Hispanic undergraduates, non-Jewish White undergraduates have a significantly lower acceptance rate.

But even ignoring SAT scores (which, when they favor Whites, are dismissed as racist [1-6]), showing the true representation is not irrelevant - it serves to dispel the carefully curated false impression that Whites are over-represented at the expense of minorities, documented in my other comment.

To be fair, it isn't always profit from. I've been with some higher body count partners, between the good sides, they also often have negatives, people who have broken their boundaries, triggers formed because someone did something they might not have wanted and so on. And then it happens that they may not want to do something with you because it reminds them of some asshole from the past and so on. In a casual relationship, this is fine, but its tough being in a serious relationship with such elements.
You can do that if you want. Just remove `def router` from `MyAppWeb` move its contents over to a custom module:

defmodule MyAppWeb.Router do
defmacro __using__(_) do
quote do
use Phoenix.Router, helpers: false

import Plug.Conn
import Phoenix.Controller
import Phoenix.LiveView.Router
end
end
end

But why the dislike for passing a second argument to `use`? It keeps everything together pretty nicely.
I agree. It’s ridiculous that any person would be allowed to murder or steal. Even (especially?) the police.
This is why the Reddit API was so important and why we should be writing out politicians and regulators to raise a stink about Google’s new web environment attestation standard.
To me that seems complete nonsense. I have sold stuff for more than the minimum price I would have accepted, and bought stuff for less than the maximum I would have paid. This must happen all the time, and there must be many transactions where the price that ends up being paid doesn't match the value assigned by both the buyer and the seller.

Your story seems like a frictionless spherical cows in a vacuum kind of economics theory.
> It seems to be an effort to game you into being a more productive worker, and not actually helping you live with ADHD.

Where ADHD leads to problems being productive despite having the intelligence to do the job, and that jobs tend to, y'know, fire you if you're not productive, and you go homeless without money, which you get from having a job, isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing?

As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide. Some people are able to see past their cynicism and derive value from the products companies make.
Yeah, there is even more fun arguments like "--enable-impeller" to massively improve the rendering performance!

If you go down this path consider using Transit Gateway so you can route multiple VPC traffic to a central security VPC in a region. I’ve done this a Palo Alto VM and it seems to work well.
You can write macros (as well as functions, actually) that accept AST and emit transformed AST back. It has quote and unquote. Turns out that it doesn't need homoiconicity to accomplish Lisp-level macro capability, which means it has all the power of a Lisp but with actual syntax (which is, like it or not, more appealing to many people) in a language with deep pattern-matching and completely immutable data guarantees.
I guess I'm not seeing any technical barriers there to an attester providing a service that only attests to browsers that don't have adblockers installed.

Fine for stuff like this should be: You get audited, and pay 150% of what you earned from the illegal activity. Not "cost of doing business".

Can't pay it? C-Suite goes to prison.
Fair enough. Honestly this was just a fun side project. I actually coded this up last october when I was doing a deep dive to learn about diffusion models, and saw that no one had ever applied them to colorization. This was just a fun opportunity to build a project that no one had done before
Game consoles are even worse because you usually have to buy special developer kit hardware. As far as I’m aware only Xbox lets you switch to developer mode on standard hardware.

Also Google takes the exact same cut on the Play Store and yet Apple is still the one that usually gets singled out.

I worked in a maintenance shop for 6-7 years.

Operating equipment, fixing things, hauling items from various sites, welding. Sometimes problem solving, sometimes being "paid from the neck down".

Full of young and old derelicts, wildly inappropriate conversations, and shouting matches. I'd never been so mad or laughed so hard. It was both a blast and a formative part of my life. It really taught me what being part of a team was all about.

I love that the author dives right in to learn C++ and I endorse their enthusiasm.

However I am not sure reading the standard library sources is a great way to learn early on. Those sources have a lot of speciality code, and weird head-standing in order to handle various obscure corner cases, different architectures and the like. And it’s so great they do!

When you’re still learning C++ all that extra care will probably add to the learner’s confusion rather than reduce it.

And in fact, very few people need to write code like that. When they do, they will often resort to obscure corners of the C++ standard which were added for library writers (hence the common response to a new standard, “why did the committee waste time on an obscure feature like that?”).

Also these libraries typically rely on compiler-specific features that may not even be documented.

I don’t mean to discourage anyone from reading the library sources! But perhaps they are not the best place to start.
You are forgetting the efficiency gains future homes will make so they require less power. Partly thanks to the rise of room temperature superconducting.

By Anyone I didn't mean end-users. The TLS analogy stands. No browser has made the decision to trust only one authority. A motivated and funded organisation can become an Authority (like Let's Encrypt did) and the same can happen in the WEI case too. Ofcourse noone can trust self-certification. At the "trust-me-bro" game bots are more convincing than real users.

I mean, maybe it will work out? Maybe it won't. It's not my money. Let them try and fail or succeed on the merits. Either way it pushes knowledge a bit forward and costs me nothing to observe.

The discussion? Complete, over the top, absolute negativity—from every single poster, and no one even questioned it.

Who are these people that hate everything about an engineering experiment so much that they go online overwhelmingly to bad mouth it relentlessly? Before its even finished? Haters need to go outside for a bit, take a walk, and rethink their lives.

At least it still performs well at the "Home Depot stuff hauler" part. A sedan is absolutely impossible to work for that use case.

(Ok: I'm a bit defensive. There's a concerted Internet effort over the past year to paint all pickups as a status symbol without justification, as if every empty bed or fresh-from-the-car-wash truck is proof that the owner doesn't need it. Even if you just move furniture every so often, I totally disagree with the sentiment. If I can afford two vehicles, a pickup and sedan would be a good combo; for now, just a pickup is good.)
Somehow I have a hard time believing that the store being littered with junk comes from first timer app developers.

In 2018, at the Roadburn festival, I got the chance to see them play their single-song, 80+ minute album “Mirror Reaper”[1] live. It was quite an experience; at some points both the band and the audience were so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop in the venue.

From the perspective of the manufacturer, having fewer model variations and factory/assembly configurations may end up saving more money overall.

They may also believe that there is a large-enough group of people who would decide not to get heated seats installed at purchase time, but would later regret that and wish they had it. The manufacturer might make more on "install hardware unconditionally and charge a fee for zero work later" than "install hardware later on demand".

The true cost of things to the manufacturer often depends on more than just the cost of that item and the direct labor cost to install it.

But I absolutely agree that we should applaud people who get around these sorts of software lockouts. If the company is going to give you a piece of hardware, it should be fair game for you to figure out how to get the most use out of it.
Yes, there are many tools for converting dataclasses to dict, json or something else, mashumaro (https://github.com/Fatal1ty/mashumaro) is one of them.
AWS NAT gateway is $0.045 per hour plus $0.045 per GB. The hourly fee seems mostly okay - for largish users, one or two per region is fine.

$0.045 per GB is nuts. That’s $20.25/hour or $14580/mo for 1 Gbps. One can buy a cheap gadget using very little power that can NAT 1 Gbps at line rate for maybe $200 (being generous). One can buy a perfectly nice low power server that can NAT 10Gbps line rate for $1k with some compute to spare. One can operate one of these systems, complete with a rack and far more power than needed, plus the Internet connection, for a lot less money than $14580/mo. (Never mind that your $14580 doesn’t actually cover the egress fee on AWS.)

A company with a couple full time employees could easily operate quite a few of these out of any normal datacenter, charge AWS-like fees, and make a killing, without breaking a sweat. But they wouldn’t get many clients because most datacenter customers already have a NAT-capable router and don’t need this service to begin with.

In other words, the OpEx associated with a service like this, including the sysadmin time, is simply not in the ballpark of what AWS charges.

Curious why cannot selectively block using IP address instead of user-agent string. According to HTTP specification, UA is not a required header. There is certainly no technical requirement for it in order to process HTTP requests. Of course, any website could block requests that lack a UA header. I never send one and it's relatively rare IME to see a site require it, but it's certainly possible.

This doesn't seem to solve the executive function part of ADHD. I am reminded constantly about things that don't get done. Don't need another tool that does the same.
Yep, since the pricing data is publicly available, we list mostly non-partnered providers. Eventually we would want to convert all of them to partners, but that's a years long journey.
The phone carriers can detect a huge number of calls from the same source and perform some automated checks, hey it is the same size data packet every time, and get their internal team to sniff out the spammers. The reason why they don’t do this? I have no ideas.
Can I use this?
I desperately want this. But yes, the amount of data required is insane. Just off the top of my head:
- browser history
- SMS and call transcriptions
- calendar
- passive audio stream from my phone
- interactions on social media
- my diary
- my work, or at least commit messages

It's a lot, and you'd need a pretty clever model in the middle of it to make sense of.

I don't know much about AI today, but I get the sense that you could string together a bunch of different systems today to achieve this, but no one has done it yet.

Also, if the dataset is exposed, it'd be an unthinkable privacy breach. Something like this has to run on dedicated hardware that you own. Feeding every intimate detail of your entire life into the cloud should be completely untenable.
You nailed it on the end for me as an Adult with ADHD diagnosed in my 30s.

I find it odd that someone who has "open source in his blood" was unaware that "open source" is a technical term for a particular sort of license, not "a simple English phrase".

I find it even more odd that he would have originally used any license, open source or otherwise, without actually understanding what the license allows.

In any case, I certainly don't fault them for using whatever license they like, and the BUSL is not a terrible one. I just found the lack of understanding exhibited as really strange.
They explain it in the second paragraph with examples. People are shifting which bucket they're in. So the spend in a given bucket mostly isn't changing, it's a different set of people in that bucket.

It seems very simple, more romantic than a dating app and would massively recoup my net worth because I’m sharing expenses, being motivated by my soulmate, and married people out-earn single people statistically especially over a longer time period. The 6 month ‘wait’ also implies i’m skipping any messy divorces. The only downside would be if they die soonish and i spend the rest of my life knowing no-one will compare, but that would still beat never meeting them (at least according to Alfred Tennyson).

You would need to ramp that percentage well up to triple figures before it became a problem.
> though maybe maybe should be, because in practice its a common fallacy

That’s why it was. Ad hominem is based on what is being attacked not how.

Attacking the person not the argument is deeper than simply dismissing something because of their political party, race, or educational history. When you attack stylistic elements of an argument you’re attacking the person as someone who made an argument in that form.
