Hi sorry for inconvenience, i have just fixed the site. Could you please check it now?
I can’t comment on reliability, don’t own one.

Enigica look to be following typical Italian exotica. It’s a premium/performance motorcycle with premium parts, breaks, suspension, handling etc.

Zero seem more middle of the road. Not designed to be exotica, not designed with premium breaks, suspension, not designed for all out performance/handling, it’s a general purpose motorcycle designed for urban environments.

I think Enigica and Zero are trying to target different segments and Enigica is targeting a segment above Zero. The sportier side.
It just baffles me how people are shamed, and basically accused of attempted murder, and excluded from society in terms of public events, air travel, immigration, etc. when they make a choice about what to do with their own bodies in a medical situation. Do people in a free nation enjoy the right to choose treatment for our own bodies? Don't come at me about potential harm or risks that are measured in single-percentage-points. Vaccination is not the be-all, end-all of infection control.
Well there’s another high-profile case in the works where there are lots of transcripts of the coconspirators saying (occasionally explicitly), “we’re doing fraud.”
> no protective order had been entered at the time it was composed

This is mixing up different things.

The protective order is about disclosing information obtained from discovery provided by the prosecution. No one is arguing that the tweet above was contempt of court for violating the protective order. As you note, it was written before the protective order was in place, but also obviously before they obtained discovery from the prosecution. So he was incapable of leaking anything from the discovery at that point in time.

The complaint about witness tampering or intimidation doesn’t stem from the protective order. Rather, it was a condition of his release after the arraignment, which did happen before that tweet. Witness intimidation is actually a violation of federal statute (18 USC S 1512), so is _always_ not allowed, regardless of the timing of any instructions or orders from the judge.
Different skills dominate in WFH vs. in-office cultures. It should ultimately be unsurprising that people prefer to work in an environment conducive to their strengths.

Some folks focus on deep work, and benefit from working remote - others focus on collaboration. There are cons of remote work, there are also cons of in-office work. Remote workers who work best with deep stretches of focus are unlikely to be as productive in office. Collaborative workers who focus on long brainstorming meetings etc. are unlikely to be productive remote where people can just go on mute.
I actually increase to 2GB my mistake. It's still not generally that much but seems fine as long as resolution isn't too high for games (720p seems most ideal for performance).

I was very happy to get the non-numbered version of my very common name back when gmail was new and invite-only.

It has turned out to be a monkey's paw wish, though. I get medical records, legal filings, private and personal correspondence, bills, everything. Trying to contact anyone involved to let them know that I'm not the me they think I am barely works. It's both maddening, and bizarre to me that so many people don't know their own email address, for genuinely important stuff.
Unstructured play is the key from what I have read.

Here are some things I do with my son who just turned 5:

Lots of outside play.

Lots of reading books we borrow from the library.
"Don't depend on "free" for critical functions."

Yet that is exactly what so-called "tech" companies enable, and arguably encourage, millions of people to do. They certainly do not discourage people from using their websites and apps, for any purpose, from what I have seen. That would make no sense. Imagine Google showing a warning along the lines of "Do not use Gmail for important purposes." Instead the message might be "Here is something to enhance security". These companies have conflicts of interest vis-a-vis computer users. It's like an opioids company tasked with preventing addiction. The best they can do is promote treatment of addiction. This is a poor analogy because selling drugs is regulated. Handing out free email accounts, in order to conduct commercial surveillance, is not.

Not sure those documents had any legal right to be secret in the first place. Criminals (and that's what the people that broke wiretap laws became) should not enjoy the benefits of secrecy.
Are you finding the "delete data" part unreasonable, or the "two years" part? If it's the duration, I am curious what time limit you might find reasonable.

If it's the "delete data" part, I can see why a company might not serve a piece of data in perpetuity when an user appear to have abandoned it, unless we want the company to assume ownership of that data.
No. Right now there is no reasonable way to have a 100% renewable and reliable grid in Northern Europe, excepting classic hydro.

I specifically studied the German grid, and it needs about a MONTH of storage to compensate for a once-in-a-century Dunkelflaute (a period with little wind, no sun, and cold temperatures).
I Had a VPS on Cloudzy, the Iranian Hosting Outfit. What Now?
Over a week ago news got out that cheap cloud hoster Cloudzy is really a front for an Iranian company abrNOC. The full rundown of the research is here:
https://20688644.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/206886...

I feel really duped. Let's just go directly into the politics of it: Iran is embargoed because it heavily funds terror groups. Hezbollah, when it's not busy trying to meddle in Israel, has ruined Lebanon for the last 43 years.

For the little money I spent to run a rprox there, even if was just a few cents of that, funneled though abrNOC, to the Tehranian government in taxes or transfer fees--it makes me absolutely ill.

And Cloudzy is still out there, duping people that it is a legitimate ISP.

Two weeks ago I noticed my now-terminated VPS with them had its internet access slowed down considerably. When I ran speedtest-cli to see what was going on, I noticed packet drops. To Amazon. Cloud-to-cloud packet drops?

Then after the publication of Cloudzy as a rat's nest of state-sponsored CNC bots, suddenly none of my DNS resolves to the VPS worked anymore.

It took me a few hours to realize that Cloudzy switched my VPS over to a completely different netblock. I went through my email. Cloudzy did not send any warning that the static IP the VPS I had was a "just kidding; it's not static" IP. It was this sudden relo of the IP that caused me to look and 20 minutes later, to my horror, I discover that my cash is going to a rando dude in Tehran.

I ran speedtest-cli after the network change, and then the closest responding server showed up to be QuadraNET (where I already rent physical). Cloudzy also claimed my VPS was in Dallas, but going from the ping time it was way more likely relocated to Los Angeles in the unannounced net change.

At this point, I didn't care to dig any further.

I just finished moving my bits off Cloudzy and shut it off. The US State Department and FBI will eventually come for their DNS. I feel bad for any of the legits who are on there who still don't know how much risk their bits are in.
If something happens, then you can do something about it.

In this particular case, if enough people block ChatGPT scraping then it cannot become the next google. Most notably, I imagine all commercial news organizations will block it because they need people to visit their actual website to pay for putting news up on their website. And it will remain that way until it can be demonstrated that ChatGPT drives more traffic to a website than it redirects traffic away from a website. The Microsoft chat in Edge is much closer to that in the way its summaries include clickable quotes from articles.
I'm a little jealous you have that bike. I did a test ride of it about a year ago and loved it. Sadly, as I said in another comment, I don't want a chain or belt drive bike. But, the EVA Ribelle is almost perfect.
Is that number (publicly) known when you hire the person?

If yes, you just evaluate the choice based on that probability (and other things you knew at the time), not on the actual outcome.

Prediction markets are one way to make these kinds numbers known.

Airbnb Support: Hot running water is not an “essential amenity”
From the linked support chat:

> Customer: You're saying that you list hot water as an amenity on each listing? And if it's not listed, we should assume we only get cold water?

> Airbnb Support: Yes ma'am some Host may have it without listing it which would be a value added. But in case you as a guest would like to make a claim the amenity has to be listed in order for us to force the Host to comply with it.

KB article: What are essential amenities? https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/2343

It seems Airbnb's position is to judge listings equally regardless of the country that they're in. An "essential amenity" is an amenity that would be considered essential everywhere, and very few things are designed to meet this criteria. Hot water would not fall under this umbrella since you would not expect hot water for listings in some countries. By that rule is electricity in the same boat?

Even if this policy makes sense, I don't think it's communicated well before making a reservation for a listing in another country. This listing appears to be in Portugal where I think nearly everyone would expect hot water.

Someone in the Reddit comments said Airbnb gave the same answer in response to a listing in the US that didn't have a bathroom, so at least they're consistent. I could talk about how such a listing wouldn't meet American habitability requirements, but they didn't post any evidence of the conversation.
You cut off the first and most important caveat. Police can search and size if they think the journalist committed a crime, just not for 3rd party investigations.

>this provision shall not impair or affect the ability of any government officer or employee, pursuant to otherwise applicable law, to search for or seize such materials, if—
(1)there is probable cause to believe that the person possessing such materials has committed or is committing the criminal offense to which the materials relate

This is obviously relevant as the police allege the journalist committed a crime, specifically identify theft.
Thank you for the kind words! Looking at the photo, I think you wouldn’t need the last prompt node there.

As far as evaluating functions go, that’s unfortunately a ways off. But, we generally prioritize things based on how many people posted GitHub Issues about it/want it. (For instance, Chat Turn nodes came from an Issue.) If you post a feature request there, it’ll move up our priority list, and we can also clarify what the feature precisely should be.
Do you have an overview anywhere of the protocol you're using to encapsulate TCP in HTTP? Why did you go with HTTP instead of WebSockets? Does Narrowlink support UDP?

it's a little more nuanced than that, but for starters Assange already held the right to apply to serve any sentence in Australia.

What is crucial to understand is that prisoner transfers (IE; to Australia in this case) are eligible only after all appeals have been exhausted. For the case to reach the US supreme court it could easily take a decade, even two. What the US has proposed is a formula to keep Assange in prison effectively for the rest of his life, and in a US prison.
I'm pretty distant from this, but I'm fairly sure Chris Freeland just wrote this blog post: and my spider sense suggests he probably actually just posted it after it had been collectively written by many many many lawyers.

Computational Complexity of Mathematical Operations
The problem is that they store all this data. Can you trust all future Governments of the US and their allies, for the whole rest of your life?

This is not a hypothetical - it’s actually been a serious problem for groups of people. For example, census data voluntarily filed by citizens to probably then trustworthy Governments was used by a later regime that invaded to identify which people to exterminate in the holocaust.

Then there is the problem of leaks. Sure you might trust the Government with that data, but what it it’s hacked by a criminal organisation, or other governments etc.?

I think there are thousands of people orchestrating this, independently.
I think, it's the "can't keep all alive by using one sub product" part. If I use e.g. email, my drive should be fine. From this, it's not even clear if adding and removing content to drive via email would maintain drive for "activity"
I’ve had by motorcycle license years before I got a car certification. I started on a 180cc scooter. Sipped gas, easy to ride, was legal (barely) on the freeway. Free parking at the university and right in the middle too, instead of the hinterlands.

Was my 100% transportation, rain or shine. SoCal, so not much rain. But, yea it rained. I had an I’ll fitting, $25 open face white helmet from K-Mart, and wore a ski jacket, ski gloves, and ski goggles for gear (the yellow lenses worked really well at night to be honest).

You could catch me with my original Macintosh in those very cool carrying cases we had back then bungeed to the rear seat. I’ve had stacks of books explode off the back when one popped out like a drunk jenga player.

I can attest that my ad hoc gear performed adequately when things got horizontal.

When I got a new job requiring a 30 mile one way commute into the heart of West LA, I traded the scooter in for a 600cc street bike. $2000 with highway robbery financing interest rates. It never crossed my mind to buy a car.

I got free parking at the building (vs $60 per month), free use of car pool lanes and, the crème de la crème of California motorcycle riding, lane splitting. Lane splitting in the rain on slick Bots dots is unnerving. Lane splitting made that commute sane.

Did that for a couple of years, had a scary get off (slick right turn arrow at 2am, I simply shouldn’t have taken that route), and that made me sell the bike. I also sold the Macintosh for $750, and used the money to buy a new bike — the later to be cult favorite, Honda Hawk GT. Dealership had a fire sale on them one weekend, so I got a good deal. The Hawk was notoriously expensive in the day.

Selling the Mac for the bike is one of the best things I ever did. I was a computer geek sans computer for several years.

Oh, the Hawk charted at 38 horsepower. Less than my previous bike. Got it to 110 once at a “high desert test area”. Fast enough for me. I never bought a bike on performance numbers. They were all fast enough (save the scooter). But speed was never my thing.

That bike took me up and down California and around the southwest. Plus my even longer commute when I changed jobs again.

I did finally buy a truck. Test drove it with my M certified license. Didn’t get my actual car license until after I bought it. As many have with many things, I bought the truck because of a girl. And so it goes.

> It takes several readings to tease out a clear understanding of each of the points in the formulae. The terseness of the expressions is daunting.

I was quite pleased with the writing/my understanding of the first section. As you say, it is dense but quite readable IMO. Math tensors (as opposed to computer/ML tensors) are new to me so that will take more time.

> Several more readings are needed to internalize it to the point of teaching it to someone else, which is when the real grasp arrives.

That's part of my study process, can I explain the topic to my imaginary students. Works well for me.

Iterators are great, I really loved simplicity of `yield` in c# and python.

Where I'm from, in the 1960, the child mortality rate was ~225 per thousand. If you had 4 child, one was almost guaranteed to die before the age of 5. My grandparents had 7 children. 6 survived. It was the reality for literally every household.

Today the rate is ~25 per thousand. Look up the definition of vaccine in the dictionary and you'll know why.

There's no need to attempt a mental diagnosis of people over the Internet. (Nor is there any need to equate thing you don't like with certain mental disorders. No need to be rude to autistic people like that.)

Belts are less maintenance intensive than shaft drives. A shaft drive needs an oil change every 10,000 miles. A belt needs a change every 60,000 miles or so, depending on storage condtions.

The disadvantages of belts are efficiency (especially compared to chains), off road durability and trailside serviceability.
Eh, I get what he means. When I hear 'book ban' I have mental imagery of trying to smuggle books across the Iron Curtain, risking fines or prison time for buying, possessing or distributing the book. But these book bans don't make any of that illegal, they're fights over the way public libraries are managed. Anything that receives public funding will be subject to such politicking, this seems like the fundamental nature of democracy. But books are special; they're ostensibly entitled to public funding but are simultaneously beyond the purview of the same governments which are funding them.

To be clear, I think libraries should carry whichever books are in demand by even a fringe few, regardless of how many other people those books offend. If even just one person in town is interested in a book, the local library should try to get that book (if practical, of course.) But I worry that we're devaluing the term "book ban"; what will we call it when they actually do pass laws making the possession or sale of some books illegal?
> When I started taking Escitalopram, I stopped being depressed.

Ooh, anecdotes, and ignoring your own quoted text, I can do that too!

When I started taking it, I became numb, lost my sex drive, and basically exacerbated my underlying anxiety problem related to the depression. When I stopped taking it, I had extreme, severe withdrawal symptoms, orders of magnitude worse than any other withdrawal I've ever been through. When I stopped taking it, I had been practicing meditation and going to therapy. I also threw in real commitment to the gym for the first time in my life. Took a while for the sexual side effects to wear off too. Needless to say, I have extreme resentment for the doc that put me on that with zero guidance, warning, options, etc. I know have a beta blocker prescribed that I can take to prevent the physical symptoms of anxiety from exacerbating into a mini panic attack, but I basically don't need to take those anymore.

I can find a non-trivial number of studies that (happy to link them, don't want to spam or be over the top right now), either:

1. Show it's barely more effective than a placebo.

2. Show it's barely more effective than a placebo, except for about 15% of those taking it, who had a measurable improvement.

I'm not a doctor but I'm going to sublty imply that there are other treatments for depression, with more impressive statistics, that don't cause bi-minutely head-to-toe "body zaps" when trying to go off it.
The idea of an LLM proxy is super compelling. There's a lot of powerful ideas baked into the proxy form factor – I think you've listed out quite a few of them. It reminds me a bit of what Cloudflare did for the web: both making it faster and safer/easier. Have you considered local LLMs at all for Llama 2? A few people and I have been working on https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/ and was thinking it would be helpful to be able to augment it with a proxy layer like this. Not only that, but it might help folks dynamically choose to run locally (vs against a cloud LLM) for certain prompts.

Agree, in that if the cheapest way to do process is automated and the capital cost of the automation is reasonable there is no advantage to offshoring that process.

An example is pick and place assembly of circuit boards. For large quantities, meaning the loading of the feeders is not a big part of the cost, a local company can match or undercut the price of an offshore company.

A counterexample is chip fabrication, where the capital cost dominates (and even if it didn't wafers are often manually handled).
