Brave is anything but pro-user. It just a convenient built in ad blocker (unlock origin, I think) that also works with blocking YouTube ads. Once upon a time it had this thing called BAT (stilll does but don’t use it) that requires KYC to use but helped spread its marketing getting people to believe viewing ads could make them money, a few dollars a day for popover ads.. big whoop
Of course with good equipment and care I'm sure you're quite right.
I admit that I should have specified "casual" photographs, and I now sheepishly acknowledge great advances in camera technology since I followed that claim up with a modern digital camera.
Yet even with good quality film cameras, and darkroom development, people have always had difficulty photographing very dark skin. So I expect that will be a continuing problem for facial recognition.
I've been running WiGLE on my phones since 2013 or so and I have 2.1 million observations recorded, notably I don't run this 24/7. I'm just one guy with a phone and I wager I could sus out some interesting patterns from my neighborhood and city. I fully plan to as well, it's one of those back burner projects I keep plotting on. That said it really opened my eyes after they added Bluetooth support sometime ago. I can tell when particular nextdoor neighbors are home just by seeing their Galaxy Watch or earbuds in my network list. I can't even imagine what clever people could do with a continuous stream of wireless observations from thousands of points all recorded 24/7. It makes me feel naked in a way but I trust no one will bother to look my way and I go on with my life but I am at least aware of it. I wonder if normal people would care that corporations and the government can see their travels, patterns and habits and what can be potentially be surmised by such data.
There is genuine merit in peer review though. A lot of the marketing "papers" from OpenAI and Google would benefit from going through a peer review process instead of scholarwashing and uploading straight to Arxiv.

One simple example, (from memory) the Bard paper doesn't include results for experiments in which GPT-4 outperforms it. As a result, people come away from these works with an inflated understanding of their capabilities.
This wouldn't pass peer review.

You are right.

I mixed up a few different threads to this post, between purely 'winter outages', 'total demand', 'general climate'.

I also didn't check if the article I cited was per-capita or not, or even per-Total Area, or something. If it wasn't, and since Texas is bigger, then that un-fairly tilts the numbers.

And of course, with any numbers this year, almost all replies are 'it's el-nino'. And that is true. So guess we step back and wait another few years for a more compelling trend? See if everything really does average out next year.

I love this part of the article and it definitely describes what's going on with AI assisted research:

"So if the government wins, we’ll see immense innovation and new entrants. If Google wins, however, then machine learning/AI will be deployed consistent with how Google, and perhaps Microsoft, chooses to deploy them, which is to say, slowly, un-creatively, and in service to monopoly power."

Specifically, the "slowly, un-creatively" part, which is what I really care about.
My favorite "Windows Repair Toolbox" is reinstalling Windows
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/permission-requirements/

This link breaks down what permissions are used on MacOS.

> Maybe I’m using the wrong term

Typically, the meaningful piece with "rootless" Docker is that the daemon is not running as root.

When the Docker daemon is running as root on a Linux server, for example, anyone who can access the daemon (i.e. anyone in the "docker" group) has enough access to the system can do catastrophic damage with the access they have. For example, the docker daemon can mount any file on the host's filesystem (i.e. "-v /etc/shadow:/tmp/shadow"). With Docker running as root, anyone with access to the Docker daemon has the power to do almost anything to the system.

With rootless Docker, that issue is mitigated heavily because the Docker context is restricted to an unprivileged user context.

> but when installing Docker, you need root access, and not for Podman

According to Podman Desktop's docs, it asks for admin permission when installing on MacOS: https://podman-desktop.io/docs/Installation/macos-install

That being said, I don't personally see any security value added or removed by an installer process needing to elevate privileges. That's a one-time thing and likely should require admin privileges.
I used to feel like this person, and I'd find myself alternating between burnout and enthusiasm every few months as project work ebbed and flowed. Going between the two peaks was exhausting and every crash back down to burnout felt horrible.

My solution was to go and do something fulfilling in my spare time, force myself to stick at it, and not work a second longer than I was obligated to. Keeping my mind busy and satisfied over a longer period of time forced the "work thoughts" out of my head eventually, and made it much easier to detach at the end of each day.

Working from home meant I could turn my 1 hour commute each morning and evening into 2x1 hour to work on something fun for myself. A few months of doing that and I started to feel substantially better, I'd even look forward to the slow periods that would previously have bummed me out - at the end of the day the bastards still have to pay me, and I have less work to do so it's a win-win for me.
I've been at maybe around 8 different Chinese dumpling restaurants in SF

That srpm repo was taken away

exactly that is the crux of the problem that is getting everyone upset. do customers still have access to that?

the access to the upstream git repos hasn’t changed

but that does not allow building a 100% RHEL clone. although it is probably enough to build something sufficiently compatible. which is i think the way one of the former clones went and which is probably good enough for at least a subset of clone users. like for me, i just want a distribution that has long term stable releases. RHEL compatibility is actually secondary to not important at all in my use case.

btw: i am happy we can have this discussion without the emotions that usually go along with it. it can be difficult to get something across with all the noise everyone else is making.

> Then you're not allowed to follow up on patients and complete the feedback loop of care, because they're no longer an ER patient, and you're not allowed to inquire any more.

This is factually incorrect. Healthcare providers are allowed to share information about the specifics of care provided to a patient, and, crucially, they are allowed to do so, within limitations, without the explicit consent of the patient (many practices will have you sign consent paperwork for CYA).

It does not require a responding provider to share information upon request with other providers, but they absolutely are allowed to do so.

To be very clear:

> Yes. The Privacy Rule allows covered health care providers to share protected health information for treatment purposes without patient authorization, as long as they use reasonable safeguards when doing so.

> Particularly for error handling, you always want to see what errors a function may return even in library code.

Any half-decent tooling should do that, since GP was talking about compile-time type inference. Of course there are some situations where the type hints aren't available, but then we're back to a general discussion about type inference.

FWIW, I don't actually agree with the idea that set-theoretic unions solve error handling, but I'm fully on-board with opt-in type inference for errors.

An arXiv preprint is like a blog post.

A paper in a peer review journal is like posting a request for reproduction in a heavily moderated mailing list.

A paper in a predatory journal is like the "You are the best ___" price that you get if you pay to go to the "congress" invitation in spam.

Neither of them guaranty that the result is true. The publication in some peer review journals give a minimal guaranty that the paper is not horribly bad, but I've seen too much crap there too.

I know a few journals and author in my area that are serious and I can guess the result will hold, but I find very difficult to evaluate journals and authors in other areas.

Have you considered working off a commercial ARM microcontroller, say ARM M3, from STM, NXP, or Infineon? It's orders faster than a Z80, the documentation is world class, you can control every bit code that it runes, and there's a whole industry of people who spend their lives writing code for them.

I've written from bare metal: keys, display, networking, with hard realtime stuff (response times in millionths of second). It's not actually the bad.

I am advocating against car dependency, a particular style of development in the US that few Europeans understand until they live in it.

I am not advocating for getting rid of all cars, or even saying that car-dependent areas should be banned! I'm advocating for allowing those who want to choose something other than a car to have that choice. However, the way that US law is constructed, and 99% of land use is planned, a car is needed to fetch a loaf of bread, get to daycare, visit friends, or to perform any of the basics of life. Imagine your house is an island, and every other destination is an island, and your car is the only way to get between them. That's the assumption of the entire US planning professions.
Why does it matter whether they’re big players on a global basis or not? Those companies have an oligopoly over Canadian media. They also abuse their dominant position over Canadian wireless and broadband internet service, leading to some of the highest rates in the world.

Yet the government is passing even more laws to try to give them cash grabs. These companies should be broken apart and the spectrum sold off to smaller players. Canadians need more competition in both media and wireless / internet access, not less.
I seem to recall a much earlier version of this idea, maybe ca 2008, and it came with source code, still by The Grugq.

The target customer is basically you. Someone who wants to get away from x86, have complete access to all of the firmware and microcode, but still have all the performance of a modern system.

The cost is high because it’s a niche product. IBM makes the CPUs for systems that they sell to enterprise customers (presumably at enterprise prices). Raptor made their own motherboards for them. Limited production runs mean higher production costs, plus you’re buying a whole pre–built system rather than individual parts to assemble yourself.

Taking photos of people with darker skin tones isn’t harder, but it is different. And if you don’t know that, those photos will often lose facial features and look flat.

There’s lot of history here, some of it debatable, but the general story is…

Early film developing used a sample photo of a white brunette as the standard for white balance.

Some time later, ad agencies complained to Kodak that photos of chocolates and dark woods weren’t quite right.

Kodak made some tweaks. And/or photographers learned to deal with it (both for product photos and people).

Digital cameras appear. Similar mistakes/oversights made by industry.

Now Google and others claim their cameras can do dark skin.

100%. I’m in India now after years in the US. Indian doctors I’ve interacted with (for my kid) are just better at empathy and analysis.

It may be because they see a wider range of illnesses and this empathy/awareness might not work well with the patients are of varying ethnicity and race but they’re pretty good if you look past the exterior - shabby offices, gruff manner.

While you were being snarky - this is a great idea for an experiment, if gp can give judgement on pictures of their friends taken by a recent Google Pixel phone. I say pixel because Google boasts its photography AI makes and Pixel hardware people with all skin tones look good.
I am aware of the legal duty. The legal duty is to maximize shareholder value but not explicitly break the law.

What do you think this looks like in practice? Because it makes logical sense to me that monopolistic companies would use their monopolistic power to come as close as they can with anti competitive behavior without attracting scrutiny which is why you break them up in the first place. And it's not theoretical, there are many examples not least of which is Microsoft.

Confabulated data is nice to look at but possibly ill suited for facial recognition.
“Updates from friends you know” is what elder millennials think the product is, but that’s not primarily what it is anymore.

I’m talking about the endless stream of content that is the bread and butter of social media. Your friends don’t have infinite content to post.

The endless stream of content product (think Reels and TikTok) is what captures 90% of users’ attention.

In that context, yes, you’ll get ads and influencers shilling sponsored stuff, but you can swipe them away instantly. And my argument is that this product is very good for very many people.

"Porcha Woodruff — a mother from Detroit, Michigan — became the first woman to report that police falsely identified her as a suspect using faulty facial recognition, The New York Times reported."

As explained in the NYTimes article (yet omitted by BI), the victim picked her photo out of a line-up.

"Five days after the carjacking, the police report said, the detective assigned to the case asked the victim to look at the mug shots of six Black women, commonly called a “six-pack photo lineup.” Ms. Woodruff’s photo was among them. He identified Ms. Woodruff as the woman he had been with. That was the basis for her arrest, according to the police report."

To put this on facial recognition is dishonest.
