Disclaimer: keeping situations that are clearly criminal 'in house' is bizarre and I agree - forward to the authorities. Many situations fitting the mold of this article are not so cut and dried so I am primarily addressing that here.

Well, from a practical stand point not every instance of inappropriate behavior is illegal, and not every instance of illegal behavior is prosecutable. If you want standards for behavior in your group you probably have expectations of time to resolve and level of evidence than the legal system is not going to meet.

From a more philosophical perspective it would make sense for groups to form and enforce norms - the law sets a minimum expectation of behavior after all and has very different goals/principles. A legal system might err on the side of leniency/underspecifying in order to preserve liberty, and have requirements around process and evidence in order to put constraints on the authority to put a person into a cell for the rest of their life. Rules around who can attend a tournament don't have the same scope or impact and are probably not improved by including the assumptions of the legal system.

From a pedantic standpoint they are not at all creating another legal system because they have precisely zero authority, they are enforcing social norms through freedom of association. That you might see similarities probably isn't surprising given the need to investigate claims and take action, especially given the increased desire around transparency and hence published standards.

Side note; I feel your core observation but I personally wonder how much is something new vs a function that has broadly existed in organizations that is becoming visible due to expectations around transparency and action.
Same! I know there are one or more ways to do this in a Unix/Linux shell, but despite being off Windows for almost 20 years I haven’t memorized it. I miss it though!
It could also be ideal for many people to charge at work during the day. Fleet vehicles would need to charge at night. Plus, if we're using renewable, that's less energy storage needed for the solar generated during the day.
I see this brought up consistently on the topic of AI take-off/X-risk.

How does an AI language model devise an experiment and observe the results? The language model is only trained on what’s already known, I’m extremely incredulous that this language model technique can actually reason a genuinely novel hypothesis.

A LLM is a series of weights sitting in the ram of GPU cluster, it’s really just a fancy prediction function. It doesn’t have the sort of biological imperatives (a result of being complete independent beings) or entropy that drive living systems.

Moreover, if we consider how it works for humans, people have to _think_ about problems. Do we even have a model or even an idea about what “thinking” is? Meanwhile science is a looping process that mostly requires a physical element(testing/verification) to it. So unless we make some radical breakthroughs in general purpose robotics, as well as overcome the thinking problem I don’t see how AI can do some sort tech breakout/runaway.
It was my mistake, I misremembered MariaDB, but can't edit my comment now. In my defense, I've barely thought of it since 2009, when it was forked.

On the other hand, I've worked with MySQL a few times in the same period, mostly because Oracle, whatever its failings, has kept MySQL alive. Not thriving, but alive. I'm so glad they didn't buy PostgreSQL.
It's because you over generalized your simple understanding. There is a lot more nuance to that thing you are calling overfitting (and underfitting). We do not know why it happens or when it happens, in all cases. We do know cases where it does happen and why it happens, but that doesn't me we don't know others. There is still a lot of interpretation left that is needed. How much was overfit? How much underfit? Can these happen at the same time? (yes) What layers do this, what causes this, and how can we avoid it? Reading the article shows you that this is far from a trivial task. This is all before we even introduce the concept of sudden generalization. Once we do that then all these things start again but now under a completely different context that is even more surprising. We also need to talk about new aspects like the rate of generalization and rate of memorization what what affects these.

tldr: don't oversimplify things: you underfit

P.S. please don't fucking review. Your complaints aren't critiques.
What's the problem with that?

I don't know the exact limitations, but for a personal home lab that seems fine. For companies, I imagine they could either pay proper for RHEL, use free CentOS Stream or Fedora, or some other server distro like Ubuntu or SUSE. Why is there such a need for RHEL specifically?
Canada's utopian conditions for most types of crime are something of an open secret. Most of these crimes then rely on Canada's national industry - money laundering - to clean the money or move it out of the country.

Anyone interested in the tip of the iceberg should read Wilful Blindness by Sam Cooper. And that's relatively old. And mostly just the CCP's part. You still have a rich diaspora of organized crime operating in virtually every corner and geography of Canada, including First Nations, some of which are conveniently located in just the right places to facilitate smuggling of all things between the US and Canada.

And the absoltue best part? It's almost guaranteed that this involves even the Prime Minister's Office. Or at least it seems very clear Trudeau has something to hide due to his absolutely willingness to sacrifice all things in order to avoid a public inquiry into CCP election interference.
I live in a town with a resident population of about 140,000. It attracts a lot of tourists. I live in a flat with a neighbouring flat that is run as an unhosted AirBnB.

I'm sure the presence of tourists helps some shops stay open; but not the kind of shops that I use. Tourists don't use butchers, greengrocers, tool and hardware stores. They use tourist shops, which consequently multiply.

Today (as every day) I went to the shops. I got caught on the pavement/sidewalk behind a column of about 50 overseas visitors, following a tour guide. That column crashed into a similar column going in the opposite direction. This was the High Street, i.e. the main drag; it wasn't feasible to step into the carriageway, because there was traffic. In my view we have way too many tourists, and their guides don't extert enough control.

I regularly have my doorbell pressed by AirBnB guests who can't get in, and expect me to do something about it. This is frequently at night. There have been a few loud parties, including one with underage girls. I've been sworn at and threatened a few times.

The Council is trying to shut down this operator. They told the operator they were in violation of regulations (we're zoned as residential). They appealled. The Council won the appeal. I think they must have now appealled to the Secretary of State; they're still operating. This has taken over a year.

I would like it if my neighbour were the same person that was my neighbour yesterday. I have no "proper" neighbours.
> That is the goal of the legal system as well.

Gonna strongly contest that. The legal system only gets involved once protections have failed. (well, the judicial part of it, at any rate)
Sorry where is YC's experience with space tech companies? They have invested in a bunch of moonshot companies, but that's all the progress I've seen.

Also they won't be considered seriously for American military R&D if they're an Australian team either. They would have to eventually relinquish the company to an American player. And not many militaries outside the US fund R&D, and even if they do, it's often a giant bureaucratic centralized leviathan you have to deal with - it's much easier dealing with the US military in that respect. And YC is kinda sour for startups in the non-US non-tech space.
If I don’t pay my property taxes the local municipality takes my house too, and they spend money on all kinds of stuff that doesn’t benefit me directly or perhaps at all.

Why do you think it takes a lot of energy to keep the battery in a usable state? It’ll take quite a lot of energy to get to that state.. but the energy it takes to keep it there is not just a function of the temperature. It’s a function of how much insulation you have as well. Insulation is cheap and it gets easier/cheaper the bigger you scale it.

Keeping something at hundreds of degrees for a long time without adding energy is not a very hard problem. There are companies that are making seasonal energy storage for colder climates using this very mechanism. Just heat something up in the summer, and extract the heat in winter.

E.g., see Polar Sands thermal battery. They warm sand to 600°C and it can stay hot for months.
The issue is UFW ignoring other firewall rules, Docker just adds itself to iptables, but UFW actively ignores other chains. The bug is on UFW being insecure by design.

Since I can’t edit this, just want to clarify that this was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek satire of the sensationalism of the article. But, alas, folks thought it was critical/apocalyptic view of AI. Oh well.
RIP to an absolute legend. There’s an excellent doc on Netflix rn.
I'm with the people who hope that humanity will go extinct.

The "virtueization" of excess and deception creates a psychic nightmare for many, many whose voices are ignored and eventually muted.

It's untenable to take power and forgo responsibility. It's untenable to ignore the existential issues facing individuals, or pretend they don't exist. And it's especially untenable (in my opinion) to employ deception and willful ignorance as the rule.

Would the OP make the same argument about athletics? That 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and 18-year-old Frankie Fatass, instead of being sorted and classified, should be put into the same soccer program?
Why would anyone use a server OS that's a fork of another server OS, provided by a group of 3rd-parties with their own competing enterprise distros?

I'm sure there's a reason for it with all the discussions, but if I want to use CentOS, why wouldn't I just use CentOS Stream that RH is providing? If I want RHEL, I'll go get RHEL that afaik is also free. If I want to see the future of RHEL, there's Fedora Server. And if I believed RH was being intentionally hostile, why would I support them at all and not go with a completely unrelated distro like SUSE?
Cheers. Can't edit my comment anymore, but that's a good tl;dr.

This is a cool approach to improving the speed of training and rendering but seems to come with some limitations when it comes to representing reflections.

We've had "imminent" crises going as far back to when I was a kid in the 70's, and long before that, too. Nuclear war, pollution, stagflation, the ozone hole, savings and loan crisis, smog, acid rain, AIDS, terrorism, and probably more all happened during my lifetime. Each of them had varying levels of doomerism, but I don't think anyone really believed their lives were pre-ruined from any of them. Not sure why this generation thinks their lives are.
It might well have substantial uncertainty, in either direction. Suppose it's 30% plus or minus 20%, a huge amount of uncertainty. That's still absolutely a reasonable threshold someone could use as the basis for a decision.

The exact numbers here are examples, not the determining factor here, nor do most organizations express them quantitatively.

The important point is that organizations can and do have a different threshold for action. You could absolutely argue about whether an organization has the right threshold, but I don't think there's a case for a deontological requirement that every organization's threshold for taking any action at all must be the same as the threshold for conviction in a court. (Leaving aside that that would utterly invalidate freedom of association.)
> even if that means they need to keep the package on hold for days.

Yes, but this would be at the final distribution points immediately prior to delivery, not at border warehouses right smack in the middle of the transport chain.

Local distribution points will only ever have a limited number of packages waiting to get picked up, even if a lot of people decide to self-clear; THAT volume is manageable. Border warehouses would end up with millions gumming up the works and getting in the way. That ISN’T manageable. Having things pile up at major transport nodes is a recipe for failure and system collapse.

No it doesn't, not considered as a trusted (certified) provider and doesn't meet the level for secure user authentication.

It's like a gadget in Europe then.

But still, it is useful.

It can be used if you want to ask your daughter to promise to "Get good grades at school" in exchange for an extra Christmas gift, for example.

And make it look like official.

It's like pretending to be signing.
> disqualifying someone because they didn't introduce security flaws.

Actually they did introduce a giant security flaw:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36985317

Because of this I propose that "the users should require that server attest it, environment and content with respectable attester before it provide any other data to the user - user should get signal if server operates on up-to date unmodified stack and did not modify server environment in any way to track, monitor, gather (steal) user's data, nor is compromised." How about that?

>"the the bargaining power that Apple has in the mobile space"

Like 30% (and loosing) of worldwide phones? Think globally not US. And we shouldn't forget that Apple may loose EU market altogether because of it inflexibility when comes to battery replaceability.

>Why do WEI critics always come off as sounding like the "think of children" anti-encryption fear mongers?

No we do not. In fact many just want opposite - for encryption not to be used as power over common people but by the people.

> "At least wait until it becomes something first."

As Google implements it before even finalizing proposal and banned all comments and pulls - I will not.

> It's just a gleam in someone's eye who's stated goal is to not create something which is a terrible, user-hostile, open-web-hostile security approach but some additional signal which websites can try to use to filter out malicious traffic.

To put it by analogy from Car owning company:
"We propose that any package delivery must be delivered in secure and attested way - so we propose mechanism that will provide way for smaller companies fly drone before you get your package. We will not allow them to sell your photos - pinky promise."

This is more or less how I feel about Google promises.

If you propose something on global - you should take all the time to think about ways that it can be mismanaged before you even propose it, If you trivialize concerns then you are as guilty when they inevitably happen.

>some additional signal which websites can try to use to filter out malicious traffic.

Read carefully:

> has predicted nine out of the last five recessions

It's basically a saying that people are always throwing out negative predictions that eventually come true, but that doesn't justify the excess false (poorly timed) predictions.
Indication stoves are claimed to be as good as gas. However the cheapest induction stove in the US is 3x the price of the cheapest gas or electric. And if you go stove shopping you with find lots of options for gas or regular electric, but often only one induction model - if you want some combination of features and are willing to pay - you often still can't get it with induction. (dual ovens, number of burners, burner configuration, non-standard widths - there are lots of options that are at least interesting to someone who is cooking)

Yes its heavier.
They would have to keep the water moving or for heavy winters have it drained. Also possible to have a liquid in there with much lower freezing point like you said.

The problem I think is that when the panels need cooling the most the system to disperse the heat to would need to be huge, because you just have a large surface heating up water fast and you don't want the house floor to heat up and your water tank for showering is already at max temp. Also gotta be careful not to evaporate the pool.
If there were more demand for hotels, then more hotels would open - in that part of the town designated for hotels.
I don't think the designer is the authority on whether a design is good or not. Just like a novelist, director, or composer doesn't get to dictate whether their output was creatively successful.

As long as it's properly designed, built, and assembled, keyword properly, then a 25 year service life is absolutely achievable for the median customer even with an integrated water cooling system.
The ROI on a solar water heater is terrible. Cost us $10k before rebates (half that with) and saved us less than $50 a month in electricity.

If I stuck around for a decade it might have paid off but given a family member's unit didn't last that long (the part that held water went bad and a replacement was $4k, not exactly economical on a ⁴ year old system)

Ended up it was a pop up company designed to appropriate the green money by "improving your A/C efficiency" which of course probably only lasted a year or two given it was just blasting foam into the vents...

Fair enough. Idk who downvoted me, but based on your reasonable response, doesn't seem like it was you.

Ultimately, TS enforces those implicit comments you mentioned and adds some explicitness to the code.

Whatever works for you and gets your job done

But it's worth mentioning, TS with some of the strict settings disabled is basically JS but with some added benefits, primarily due to the TS type checker still being available. No need to go fully in, you can just as easily add explicitness and overhead where necessary and write JS everywhere else to avoid the overhead.
I like this solution way much better. Now the only player that's missing here is Almalinux. Maybe it's not too late to make a U-turn and join this new group so that Redhat alone can be responsible for contributing to RHEL as intended.
The reason that there are so many tutorials and analogies is because monads are relatively easy to understand, but unfamiliar, and they allow you to do a bunch of math (which you don’t have to do). Not hard enough to cause Haskell programmers any problems.

> long after... motives after

AFAIK/IME this actually does end up being true, but why it's true matters -

1) It can take a long time for someone to realize what they've been through, and it can take even longer for them to get to the point where they can talk about it.

2) A lot of folks seem to take the stance that they don't want to deal with everything involved in bringing up what happened to them until they start seeing it happen to others.
