Cloudflare owns/leases fiber to form its own international network. A user's request hits a cloudflare server. if that server needs to contact the origin, it can exit from anywhere in cloudflare's network. If the origin is in the country which is wanting the block to happen they'd just ask the hosting provider to take the service down, otherwise CF would almost certainly be able to reach it from somewhere in their network.
I don’t believe that’s the case at all. Cellebrite uses shady techniques kept in a black box. I see no reason to believe that it’s reliable at all. They’ve giving zero reasons to.
> This is why I introduced the concept at the beginning of royalties for AI work. Ultimately AI is not an alien brain generating texts or images from its own imagination. Neural networks and large language learning models input real people’s intellectual property and output that intellectual property when prompted by someone using the program. The novelness of the output is merely how the IP is reformatted to fit the parameters of the user’s prompts.

The crux of the argument is this paragraph. But swap out AI in that paragraph for "writers who have read the classical western canon" and suddenly you realize that no one has original ideas, and that the idea that somehow humans are uniquely capable of being the primary causes of their own thoughts and owe transitive credit (and royalties!) to the great authors of all time, or their estates, is madness.

The threat is the even further enclosure of the commons and the expropriation of culture by corporate interests who actively seek to destroy common culture by preventing the very people whose participation in a now privatized "culture" enables corporate profits, from ever earning a cent because they do not "own" the "IP" to the characters that they love and that are only common because they are a shared element of a common culture. It is absurd. If media corporations had to compensate whenever someone mentioned a trade marked character because it counted as advertising then let them keep their "culture" private. Until then, they are the beneficiaries of billions of dollars of stolen advertising and stolen culture.
Wow, that's a game changing idea. Thanks!
Unpopular opinion: rent controls should be used only in times of drastic changes in housing supply or demand, and have short time limits equal to what it would take to resolve a housing crisis. Sudden change in demand or natural disaster destroys 20% of housing stock: 3-5 years of rent control. Otherwise we are just using politics to torque the market, "taking" capital from owners/landlords, and generating non-market incentives for renters. (see: master tenants, secret sub-leases, etc.)
I loved BASIC as a kid. C was really confusing because I was constantly committing egregious memory errors without realizing it, the spooky effects were totally mystifying to me, and I didn’t even have the reasoning tools to know where to start with debugging it. It was definitely distracting from simple logic.

On the other hand, it made me think a lot about computer memory, and it makes computer memory easy to work with. Now I’m really comfortable with memory and encodings so that’s nice. I don’t think I would have gotten that by starting with Java or Python.

Omg. This is so stupid.

The same with parties/festivals: you have to create accounts to buy a fucking ticket, then you pay a "convenience fee".

That is, in addition to providing your data to a platform that you did not ask for, you still pay for the "convenience" lol.

So finally when you arrive at the party, then you have to pay for a "credit card" that works only in that place, where some 3rd party collect your data again.
That may be, particularly if you get to define what “brilliant” means, and I never stated otherwise. However that says nothing about the validity of using IQ as a population statistic. In other words, even if IQ is a useful metric for an individual, that doesn't make it a valid metric of a population. And on top of that, this says nothing of the political motivation of the researchers.

I claim that Richard Lynn is a disgraced scientist who has been found guilty of misrepresenting data to further his views of white supremacy and that many researchers doing population IQ are engaging in pseudo-science, and I stand by it.

Furthermore, I find your insult uninspiring. I don't know my IQ and I don't care to find out. It is probably below 100—as it is for half of any given population. How smart I sound is irrelevant.

> So the data will occupy the same amount of space and parity as it did before.

So you lose data capacity compared to "dumb" RAID6 on mdadm.

If you expand RAID6 from 4+2 to 5+2, you go from using 33.3% data for parity to 28.5% on parity

If you expand RAIDZ from 4+2 to 5+2, your new data will use 28.5%, but your old (which is majority, because if it wasn't you wouldn't be expanding) would still use 33.3% on parity.

I make around $140k and people who make less always tell me how lucky I am and so forth… in a way yes, but I am much closer financially to the average American than to Elon Musk or Bill Gates. I don’t live paycheck to paycheck, but I certainly couldn’t go more than a few months without working. My savings rate is about 50% and I max out my 401k each year but if the stock market doesn’t continue the ~8% average annual return for the next 30 years, I likely won’t be able to retire at 65, even if social security is still paying out. I max out my retirement contributions, and put it all in low-expense-ratio index funds, *but retirement is not guaranteed.*

Radley Balko has a great overview on the fundamental flaws with ballistics forensics[1]. The tl;dr is that the core claim of ballistics forensic analysis, that it is possible to reliably differentiate between two models of the same gun using just casings and shells fired from those guns, has never been proven to be valid.

Interesting take on the indie game development scene. i've always felt that while passion is vital, there's a tangible undercurrent of economic realities are often glossed over. the mention of "time travel" was cute, but it got me thinking. Perhaps, in a way, the game dev industry might be a few steps behind in leveraging some structured decision-making processes? but then again, can we truly quantify creativity and intuition, especially in such a dynamic industry?

I do appreciate the effort to build a risk assessment framework, even if it feels slightly oversimplified. I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves and hopefully, this nudges the industry / idealistic indie devs towards more informed decisions. nice effort.
Local governments have finite power given to them by state and federal government. So, the argument is more that state and federal government should actually exercise their authority to fix the underlying problem.

Abstractly hyper local optimization is suboptimal.
that's really cool! I was really addicted to Shpongle and 1200 Mics in the 2000s. btw, Shpongle's song that makes me trip while sober is "DMT" (Divine moments of truth), its fucking amazing (I don't do drugs, I'm really afraid of what can come up).

I don't think I've heard them for at least 10 years, I'll put it on for listening!

Edit: OMG I just remembered the existence of this masterpiece: Shpongle - Star Shpongled Banner !!!
Config files work fine. But so does expressive code with the right abstractions. And I think code scales up better and down almost as well. Just my opinion.
If it's always the worst that's getting all the indie dev attention there's probably something to it that you're ignoring or prioritizing lower than the people putting in the legwork.

The US Federal government still uses polygraph in the security clearance process today. In 2013, they indicted several people for teaching others how to beat the test. Here’s the DOJ press release (prepare to lose brain cells):

Clearly our government and legal system think highly enough of the technique to include it in interview processes. The NSA even has an entire production video rebuking the criticisms of polygraph. It’s not just a tool (in the eyes of the government) used to trick dumb criminals into spilling the beans.
Capitalism is a monetary policy, not a form of government. In the US, it is becoming a form of government to the detriment of democracy. When people cannot voice their opinion through voting, it tends to end badly.

Here’s hoping the rich folks figure that out before it’s too late to solve with democracy.

Courts don't work like computer programs, if the court order would have clearly unintended outcomes then you have some option to in good faith not comply with the order, have your lawyers raise it with the right politicians or courts, and not end up in legal trouble.

The job if the engineer who notices this is to raise it to their boss and legal counsel and let them decide whether you should still execute the planned block or not. If they decide you should then you do, if they decide you shouldn't then you don't.
There are a lot of problems with lobbying but in this case I don’t see the relevance. With sufficient appeals any case could theoretically be taken to the Supreme Court.

Basically a rehash of colonialism (or something that rhymes with it). We want a resource that the existing people on the land (NIMBYs, this time) have, so we'll take it using force.

It certainly rhymes with how we’ve done things in the past. And there's even a nifty phrase for it - the tyranny of the majority.

And I've gotta ask... why do we "need" these specific parcels of land? Especially in a time where so much work can be done from anywhere in the US. There's plenty of land, why are we so eager to use force to take these highly specific parcels?
I don't think the cosmic ocean is designed to be finished by a general audience.
You can construct sets of keys that make xxhash collide much more often than average. With provable universal hashing, you know you get a good distribution for all sets of input keys.
You don't need a LLM for that. Old-school web search can excerpt only the step-by-step instruction on the search results page.

Now of course, you get lawsuits from site owners because a visitor can get the information needed without actually visiting the site which is detrimental to the site owner's ad revenue. Expect this kind of lawsuits to continue as LLMs become popular.

Lead added to fuel is in the form of an organic compound, so I'd expect the opposite effect. Obviously there's more distribution post combustion, but from a bio-availability standpoint spraying tetraethyl lead around in equivalent quantities would be a much more severe problem.

Naively (without looking at data for concentrations in various environments), I could buy that people regularly handling / being around leaded aviation fuel are worse off than those breathing the (dilute) exhaust products.
Citizen United is bad but this has nothing to do with it.

It's just a lawsuit against NY that the plaintiffs hope to get in front of Supreme Court and win there.

The article insinuates there's lobbying involved but it's mum on the details i.e. what exactly they are spending money on given that it'll be decided by 9 judges.

Furthermore, I believe Citizen United is specifically about spending money on political candidates and whatever lobbying this is, it's not that.

Unraid "solves" that althought needs some user knowledge (IIRC parity drives must be the biggest one in array and for some reason that isn't automatic)

Ceph actually works quite well for that, althought obviously far more complex than anything for home use. You just tell it "x chunks with N parity" and it will spread it over available drives. Just need more drives than x + n and not too egregious size differences.

> Weighted consistent hashing can handle disparate resources, by assigning more buckets to faster or larger machines. And it can grow and shrink (in a drive array, the two are sequential or simultaneous).

It would need to be more complex than that. Putting chunks on say 2, 6, 8, 12, 22 TB (which might be what you'd get if you just buy "cheapest GB/$" for your NAS over last 10 years!) is more complex than that.

As someone who keeps Night Shift on 24 hours a day for eye comfort (actually 23 hours and 57-ish minutes per day; the as-always anti-user Apple doesn't permit you to turn it on 24 hours a day), it sounds like they might have their Night Shift slider a tad too high.

> Capitalism is a monetary policy, not a form of government.

Capitalism is a mode of social relations that monetary policy is downstream from. Remember capitalism was established as dominant by way of revolution. Capitalism and democracy fundamentally contradict one another from the outset, but democracy was capitalism's path to victory. The contradiction still remains.

Not a justification and only pure speculation but what if there's another reason? You can't think that the NSA and CIA are stupid. They know its bunk science that has been disproven 1,000 times over. But the psychological effects of being on the machine are very, very measurable.

Perhaps its being used as a tool to evaluate a person in other ways. For example, you're generally not arrested for admitting to crimes like smoking weed or stealing candy bars from a gas station. But admitting to crimes, or morality divergence (such as adultery), can mean with enough effort a smart intelligence organization could manipulate you.
