My gaming PC is still a 4770k that I delidded and overclocked the crap out of to like 4.7ghz. Paired with a 3060ti it's pretty much maxed out. It's showing signs of age and I look forward to going team red, but don't want to spend the money yet. 10 years I've gotten out of this chip.
Yes but this is aimed at people who aren't in Egypt. According to the article.

How many people are there abroad that they can contribute a meaningful amount of foreign currency?
Links benefit the publishers because they get traffic. And I think you underestimate how many people will copy paste outrageously long and bogus things that begin like "if I paste this Facebook cannot charge me $15/month starting Monday"
Do you mean the script/alphabet, or the language?

At some point I noticed someone had "helpfully" translated some concert venue names in Copenhagen into English, so Krudtønden became "The Powder Keg", etc. That's not useful, as locals might well not understand what it means if you ask directions or search for a website. It's on Østerfælled Torv, would you have that read as Eastern Commons Market?

Places with other alphabets seem to vary. Greece shows me only Latin transliterations, but Syria shows me both Latin and Arabic in many cases, which is useful — I can read one, and match the shape of the letters for the other.

I switched to WebP about a year and a half ago. I’d been watching for a long time and it had finally reached the point where support was universal enough that I could not publish a JPEG.

WebP has the big advantage that the quality setting is meaningful, you can set it at a certain level and then encode thousands of images and know the quality is about the same. This is by no means true about JPEG, if you are trying to balance quality and size you find you have to manually set the compression level on each image. Years back I was concerned about the size of a large JPEG collection and recompressed them which was a big mistake because many of the images were compressed too hard.

In 2023 I think you can just use WebP and it will work well, my experience looking at images is that AVIF does better for moderate to low quality images but for high quality images it doesn’t really beat WebP.
This seems a bit ageist.

It's not a clone, just a skin. If I'm being generous, from the screenshot it looks like it only has maybe 2% of the features that Microsoft Word has.

Nvidia is on top of the world right now and companies on the rise often make really stupid long-term customer alienating decisions. Nvidia won't miss any on of as an individual customer at all. For these types of situations, usually at some point the things that were pushing the company upwards slow or stop while the damage from their arrogance accumulates enough to start causing real harm. After some foot dragging and false reforms, the company eventually has to do something to repair the damage and by then, those who enacted those policies are usually gone.

I thought the same thing when looking at my pool the other day. I found it very realistic that the water was still after no movement in it after a period of time.
As redhat becomes more commercial it's imperative we don't let them be stewards of open source anymore. Too many times to their corporate strategy.

For example they took ownership of X11 only so they can let it die in favor of their preferred Wayland. While Wayland is not bad, it's not covering everything.

But anyway I don't really care anymore, I'm less and less invested in the Linux ecosystem. It's too commercial now, I just stick with the BSDs <3

Some people need to be able to do that as part of their job. Either directly for some good reason, or indirectly (they are a DB admin). The question is what controls they have to ensure only those people can look such things up and that they don't abuse those rights.
If not for computers and software would those coverage rules and metrics have evolved to the same level of detail?

> There's nothing obvious about this to me - how would you distinguish that from survivorship bias?

So success of companies is entirely random? That seems statistically unlikely…

I mean are you really saying that there are no decisions that CEOs regularly take due to which a company might lose/gains up to millions to billions of dollars? Why wouldn’t you pay a CEO whose actions can bring the company billions a 100m or so? Seems like a good deal..

e.g. if you put a random highly competent, educated and very hardworking person in charge of Apple back in 1997 is it more or less likely that he would have done better than Jobs?

I mean, yeah I agree with you in part. In most cases it’s hard to distinguish real impact (even after a few years) from survivorship bias which is why this whole process is so inefficient. I’m sure that quite a few companies are just as likely (if not more likely) to hire a 100+ mil CEO who’ll be a net negative on as one who’s action will bring 10x+ in additional revenue compared to what most other candidates would have.

I think the commenter wasn't remarking on the availability of higher education, but that that public education had failed to prepare this person and apparently a whole community for higher education. He didn't know a single person who attended class after high school and the high school curriculum was so weak that he was failing out of community college.

Don't we not fully understand how the body, and the bodies of other beings work?

I don't understand how someone can be confident about quantifying phenotype robustness without complete knowledge of the physical properties of organic life.

Maybe in the robust category there are small changes to the processes in the organisms that we do not fully understand that build up to break into a threshold of our perception.
Should anything trial be considered "frugal"? The moment you run out of free tokens, you have to shut down or actually get frugal, which is the difficult part... Would you ever include "Photoshop trial" in a list of "frugal software I use for design"?

Why spend $300 in AWS credits to begin with, when you can use Hetzner, and switch to cloud when absolutely need to? (or shut down)
> Maybe I can learn something here. From my understanding, the RAM image moves completely to the swap space, since the RAM memory is shut down (cleared)

I think your understanding is broadly correct. My point was centred on the nuance that the primary purpose of swap space is for the OS to move less frequently used parts of virtual memory to disk to allow more recently/frequently used virtual memory to occupy the physical RAM.

So theoretically, if you wanted to implement hibernation on top of such a system, you wouldn't need the OS to have swapping enabled. (Although from your examples, practically, in some cases at least you do)

Without swap space, the OS would still use virtual memory addressing and allocation, but it would only be translatable to physical addresses in RAM, and exhaustion of RAM would lead to the OS out of memory killer to start killing processes to free RAM up.

But you could still write a hibernation program to take everything in memory and write it to disk and restore it later even if you're not using the OS swap capability to provide programs with the illusion of more memory to use than RAM allows.

Nah. There are certain things that one might post that are worth saying, because they push back against bullshit, but are certainly not worth discussing with peddlers of such bullshit. Just think of any conspiracy theory (e.g. anti-vaxers) as really obvious examples.
No people really did not like Bernie that much. He was making a lot of promises that he did not have the political capital or chops to deliver on; and a lot of people saw through it.

Not to mention that his cohort of rabid online supporters were as insufferable as those supporting the orange man; thus giving his campaign a similar kool aid drinking cult vibe.

As far as the talk about other candidates forming a coalition against him … that whole line of argument is pretty laughable. This is politics. Success in politics is achieved by building coalitions among constituencies and their representatives to advance policy.

If Bernie were such an effective politician then why was he unable to get someone else to stay in the primary to split the establishment vote?
It's pretty scammy the way these contests advertise a jackpot when the net present value of 20 annual payments of $50k is ~$625K with 5% interest. In a world in which they can make interest of 5%/year, they only need to pay the winner the interest on the prize amount.

None of that's very complicated electronics. Homeless != stupid. Wire some shit up once and then free mobile power is free power. Either jack another battery out of another scooter and reuse your wiring, or do some further wiring to charge off a streetlight or something if you're YOLO.

But it's a lower-demand type of theft than "spend 30 bucks on alibaba and have a free scooter forever thanks to the off-the-shelf-nature of the first rental scooters" that people in the US market were going nuts with in 2018/19. It's a bit more wild west than Germany. ;)
> Everything just works

No it doesn't. Every Linux desktop requires me to spend hours tweaking things or finding workarounds to make it usable for myself. Window management is horrible compared to other OS. Fractional scaling mostly doesn't work. The Pomodoro timer in the "Software" store is no longer maintained and doesn't work at all on the latest Gnome. (Windows 11 has it built-in). Even so, I have to live with certain restrictions. I tried to get into Linux desktop every few years, and I never find the situation has improved much.

By comparison, setting up the environment on Windows or MacOS takes no more than a fem minutes.
Are you sure that's the same issue? Bhyve doesn't share an awful lot of code with KVM/Qemu.

Something like: If I have a call with you once, theoretically I might have a call with you again in the future. If they use my content to train "your" AI that would improve our theoretical future call, too, and is a "for me" use, I guess?

And I might have a call with any other zoom user, too, potentially, maybe. So really they are doing me a service by using my content all over the place — who knows, it might benefit me at some point!

The viewfinder isn't mounted in that picture. The two knobs on the right are from the lens to control the speed (125, 250, 500) and the aperture. The knob on the left is the shutter trigger. Shutter cocking is done by removing the ground glass from the back (which is how you preview focusing). Focusing is done by rotating the front side which is actually a giant hollow screw. The indentations are finger grips for rotating.

> I can't even say I was happy about playing Zelda since Wind Waker(and really MM/OOT + 2Ds were the genuinely good ones).

I really enjoyed playing Wind Waker (especially with the additional content from the Tingle Tuner). I played through Twilight Princess and, while it was a good game, I didn't enjoy it as much. I never completed Skyward Sword because I lost interest in the game. It was the same with Breath of the Wild at first, but then I started playing again after a several month hiatus and really enjoyed that game as well.
> In fact, I don't think it's reasonable that they should even have access to view what you're uploading and sharing in private meetings.

There may be a setting you can set in the application to disable this. I don't know, I don't use Zoom.

But in any case, I think you hit the nail on the head. Just from a plain English perspective:

10.1 says that content you (as host or participant) upload to Zoom, may be used by Zoom to provide derivative information. An example listed is transcripts. Both the information you upload, and the information Zoom provides, is "Customer Content". Customer Content is your responsibility.

10.3 and 10.4 covers a wide variety of purposes for which Zoom can use the Customer Content.

10.5 says that Zoom will reasonably protect Customer Content from unauthorized disclosure, etc., but that it has no other obligations with respect to Customer Content. In particular, it can share the Customer Content with their "consultants,contractors, service providers, subprocessors, and other Zoom-authorized third parties accessing, using, collecting, maintaining, processing, storing, and transmitting Customer Content on Zoom’s or your (or your End Users’) behalf in connection with the Services or Software".

17.1, the confidentiality clause, says that Customer Content is not confidential information. That suggest the obligations of confidentiality, such as disclosing to third parties only with a confidentiality agreement in place, do not apply.

So if I'm reading this right, Zoom can disclose your meeting transcripts [edit: I meant audio of your meeting] to a third party, without an obligation of confidence between Zoom and that third party, so long as it is for the purposes of providing you the transcript feature.

Which is really strange, to say the least. At minimum I would expect Zoom to treat Customer Content as confidential.

Wish a lawyer could read this and give us (free) insight.
Oh please, Google’s parent company is worth 1.64 trillion USD. They can afford a few programmers to maintain a codec.

There's also the EV specific tax credits. New EV buyers which is what the article references are much higher income that average and are able to take better advantage.

>> The system ostensibly being modelled here is our ability or produce natural language, so the 100% accuracy referred to it's ability to produce syntactically and grammatically correct natural language sentences.

I see this as overreach also. We have no idea what are the limits of human language ability, and cannot even say how much of human language LLMs can represent. It gets harder and harder to evaluate LLMs the larger they get because we have no better models of language, but that still doesn't tell us how good LLMs are as models of language, it just tells us earlier models are worse. If we still want to be scientific about it, at best what we could say is that a LLM (or any language model) models its training corpus, with some accuracy. That it models our ability to produce natural language? How can we know that, if we don't know what are the limits of that ability? Indeed, a major problem in machine learning research right now is the lack of good tests of language models' abilities.

Sorry for writing too much in the other sub-thread. I'm looking forward to your comments.
Despite the language, I have a very hard time believing that Zoom is actually trying to train a generative AI on private video calls. If I had to guess this is there so that they can train adjacent services such as malware scanners for shared files or possibly their captioning service using small snippets of audio.

I'd still prefer it if they had far tighter language and clarity on how they use user data, but the tech crowd feels like it's off in conspiracy land.

If there is any actual evidence that they are using large amounts of private call data to train a generative AI then I'd really like to see that.

Although I can sympathize, I don't really understand the point of opening a new issue when all the same information has already been left in comments on the old closed issue.

If the new issue gets closed, then it just reaffirms that the Chromium team doesn't care about this feature request. If the new issue somehow convinces the team to do something about it, then it shows that the team is utterly dysfunctional because their decision-making is more influenced by whether you say "pretty pretty please" in the right way than by the content of the discussion.
According to this [1], there are 9.5 million Egyptian expats, with over half of them in the Arab world, and less than 2.5 million in North America and Europe. So it could be they are targeting the majority, who are in countries not quite rich.

Interesting to consider, as I do think that is accurate. But I also think people are more accepting in person than they are anywhere else. There is an odd barrier that the "other" group is always disconnected. If you are there talking to them, you must not be truly the other group.
Yes, but not using native controls, while still trying to look and feel just like them creates an uncanny valley where things are just inexplicably off.

iOS in particular uses a lot of animations for context clues, and it is very hard to get right when you try to copy it.

There’s also a lot of functionality that is baked into native controls, such as accessibility and localization that are often missing from canvas drawn controls.
That's generally because other companies figure out the synthesis themselves in that 20 years timespan, not because they got accurate synthesis instructions.
I switched to Intel with Haswell, 4570k I believe. Broke my heart going back to Intel.

I started building computers around 2005, and AMD was the shit. I got caught up in knowing all the spec differences between CPU lines, overclocking potential, and so on. One of my first motherboards was a DFI LANPARTY and there must have been about 70 ways to tweak RAM timing. I've never seen anything like it in modern mobos.

Anyway, K10 or Bulldozer or whatever it was called by AMD was a flop, and Intel just kicked ass. I kept that Haswell probably longer than any other CPU I've used - About 5 years as my primary gaming CPU, before getting a Ryzen 1700.
Nice fun idea!
