I updated the blog post with the version number of the last version before Spaces was introduced. The experience without Spaces, or any of the Ecks or other nonsense is almost Zen-like in comparison to current.
I kind of agree with that. I did say "It's rarely perfectly fair towards everyone in all situations", but I'd be curious to hear of examples where you think the judge ruled something goes so far that makes you say it doesn't "align with what is sane" and that such things happen all the time. Do you have any examples?

Edit: from a place like Germany as the person above was talking about, to be clear. If such things are trivial to find in the USA would not surprise me in the slightest

That’s just as stupid as Canada trying to force Facebook to pay news companies because users were sharing articles with each other.

We’re in a “stupid, arbitrary rule” situation and users are finding workarounds.

Canada’s law seems dumb to me. Yes, news companies make less money because of Facebook, but it’s users communicating. Should the postal service pay the newspapers if people start mailing people letters with newspaper clippings?

"Why bother living if you're eventually going to die?"

I'm sure you can now see the problem with your argument.

My issue was only with the app not the service. I'm using a version of the app from March 2021 (pre-Spaces, pre-takeover) and it's peak Twitter user experience IMHO. Stories of the API deprecation have been greatly exaggerated.
It also has surprisingly detailed and complete hiking trails on it (for the Alps at least).
Good point. In general pay attention to old stuff. Pathogens can be chemical or organic.

And indirectly, there seems to be agent spread on books you get from amazon too. I have an old 80s english CS book that smells too bad, so much i get a light headache. (not too far from what you get from some made in china plastics). It may be anti-fugal treatment.
"But I want the real, cancer-causing new car smell with benzene and styrene VOCs!"

Home theater odor playback was already tried in the 70's and 80's and it was a colossal failure. Argument about it is moot because it's a stupid idea that went nowhere, and that doesn't even begin to address attempting to make a mass spec digital nose. Plus, it's unlikely odors are noticed or perceived uniformly across individuals.
What a memory trip. In the late '80s a buddy was called to support an Altos with Pick running a system to help manage aircraft maintenance. His background had been COBOL. It weaned him towards interpretive languages like its BASIC. He liked Pick and wanted me to go in with him to produce Pick/Altos software... but I convinced him instead to go in with me and build systems with PC clones and dBASE II (too flaky) then later the cloned FoxBase/Foxpro series. Clones upon clones.

Why really really old books smell so bad:

In the scribe days in England when literacy was exclusive and the texts and manuscripts were intricate and long-term artistic endeavors…

…the most frequent sealant used was sheep urine. IIRC. Basically there’s a LOT of reasons to wear gloves and a mask in the kind of places where they are stored for longevity.

No, at the end of the day, they are SO BIG that they are more like a public place/space, where you cannot really dictate your own rules, even as a owner of such place (for example restaurants is some countries. cell phone network operators.). FB should really cut the bullshit.

As I know, in US for large corporations, considered normal customers lost rate ~5% per year, and it is impossible to totally stop.

If you don't consider to invest into new product(s), you should invest into retention and into classic ads.
And sure, carefully check your sales funnel, and spend enough to get info,why uninstalling.

You should not believe, if somebody claim 0% customers lost rate. Admitting, it is possible, but in most cases will cost more than get new clients on good working sales funnel.

All these are classic marketing subjects, don't even think about any "hot new technologies".

And sorry, books will not help you soon, because you need about year to train your brain, to think marketing way.

Best you could do now, hire good marketing consultant to tune retention and good sales guy to tune sales funnel, and sure, you will need to invest some money to their assistants, because this rate is large enough to make sales dept.
This is not scale of one person.
There is a still a threshold. To even be able to spend 'a few grand' on such things means you have at least that much disposable income, which many many people do not. So you may not necessarily be 'rich', but you are most certainly not 'poor'.
Cool patent, looks like it covers everything.
yeah I think Germany and Austria have it right. things that are possible in some eastern EU countries can be easily considered tax avoidance at best and deliberate holes in laws that benefit certain people, this is reason why some people there can make the same or more after tax income compared to western europe.

imo its a question of time when EU decides to clamp down on this if they can

paying 0 % tax on capital gains and 7% tax on dividends, no social and health care charges is quite a thing when you compare the laws that govern this in western europe

Until last year I lived in a small downtown area. Each morning I'd walk down one of the main streets, and would typically be greeted by up to 3 people. The owner of the corner store at the base of my building, my barber across the street, and then the married couple who ran the breakfast spot I frequented just up the block.

It's a small thing but it does wonders for having a sense of community. After covid, the breakfast spot shut down and my barber went to work at a different shop. The corner store is still around but I got priced out by migrating New Yorkers and had to move. I miss it a lot.

Seems to me they don’t just “make less money”, it’s more like they “stop existing”.
What do you mean?

I usually am aware that I'm in the middle of the street when I'm not supposed to be there (think when there's something blocking the sidewalk or similar). In this case, I'll absolutely pay a lot of attention to my surroundings. Hell, even when I cross the street at a green light, I'll look before I step off the sidewalk.

Because in my mental model of traffic, drivers are very likely to not follow the law.

I may very well be in the right and the guy running me over may very well be certain to get convicted, but what good does that do to me if my legs are broken or worse?

I think it's the same thing with the new electric cars, which have to make a noise because people can't hear them coming otherwise. This, to me, means that pedestrians are expected to pay at least some attention to their surroundings. Which, of course, doesn't mean you should run them over or otherwise put them at risk if they're careless.

But my overarching point is that enough people don't pay attention even when they are expected to, and no amount of noise is going to change that.

> they are SO BIG that they are more like a public place/space, where you cannot really dictate your own rules

The Canadian government disagrees. They think Facebook stands to have significant financial gain for the privilege of their users sharing Canadian news sites, to the point where Facebook has to pay a fee for that privilege.

You can't simultaneously say "Facebook is a public place, people should be allowed to post whatever they want" and also "Facebook should have to pay a fee if they want their users to be able to post whatever they want."

The biggest CLIP models we know of are open source.

If a company has a bigger CLIP model they don't have even reported that.

Also OpenAI had already for a moment a proprietary CLIP model that was bigger than any other models available, the CLIP-H used by Dalle 2.
Even moderately wealthy people have executive assistants for their family. That's a thing and definitely far from requiring 1% status.
All they have to do is upstream their drivers into the kernel instead of shipping proprietary blobs. Why is this so hard?

The U.K. taxes income from work more than any other income.

If you got paid 150k gross you’d end up with 80k net in your bank account after paying both parts of NI (23k) and income tax (46k)

If you “earnt” 150k from renting out a property you only pay the income tax, so net 96k.

If you made 150k capital gains you net 108k.
In this case I hate to have to agree with Meta. The Canadian government created the problem with its flawed policies designed to prop up a dying business model.
As i understand it, the law that would require them to pay has not come into effect yet

From another article:

> According to a CPUC press release, Cruise could charge for service between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. without a safety drive, while Waymo could charge for passenger service at any time but only with a safety driver in the car. Waymo was also able to operate its cars completely autonomously but was unable to charge passengers for those services.

Once again, why the fuck was and is GM/Cruise getting special privileges up and over Waymo when Waymo doesn't have this level of critical failures on the road?

There's some point where we need to start leaning in and actually fining AV companies for this horseshit and taking actual action. Limiting the fleet is one thing, but actually stripping them of special privileges would be a better idea. It sounds like Cruise needs to go back to safety drivers in every vehicle.

On top of this, GM's allowed to market and sell Super Cruise (their Autopilot-esque clone) on public highways. Why isn't the NHTSA looking a lot closer at GM and scrutinizing their products?

@kvogt has some explaining to do.

P v NP
In Our Time

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the problem of P versus NP, which has a bearing on online security. There is a $1,000,000 prize on offer from the Clay Mathematical Institute for the first person to come up with a complete solution. At its heart is the question "are there problems for which the answers can be checked by computers, but not found in a reasonable time?" If the answer to that is yes, then P does not equal NP. However, if all answers can be found easily as well as checked, if only we knew how, then P equals NP. The area has intrigued mathematicians and computer scientists since Alan Turing, in 1936, found that it's impossible to decide in general whether an algorithm will run forever on some problems. Resting on P versus NP is the security of all online transactions which are currently encrypted: if it transpires that P=NP, if answers could be found as easily as checked, computers could crack passwords in moments.

They also didn't define DTLB, ALU, or CPU for that matter.

I thought it was a good choice. They were assuming deep familiarity with modern CPU architectures through the whole text, so a one-sentence definition of all the terms would either have been too much, or not enough, depending on the reader.

What is the legal situation right now in Canada?

As far as I understand it, Canada made it illegal to link to Canadian news without payment?

Is it allowed for Canadian newspapers to "sell" the right to link to their news for a price of 0?
> Also, whatever vehicle designer that decided the horn should honk whenever the car locks — you are on the top of my list!

This should be illegal. I sort of get it 30 years ago when aftermarket & OEM car alarms were a new thing, but that's it's still acceptable in 2023 is asinine.

No artificial sound should be allowed when locking or unlocking a car. Maybe flashing the headlights at most.

Windy visualizations raw or direct outputs from the weather forecast models run by agencies in the USA and Europe. These models are the "bread and butter" of operational weather forecasting, and are the baseline in accuracy for all weather forecasts generally.

That being said, you shouldn't treat these outputs as gospel. All these models will get the big picture correct, but they have limitations with respect to spatial resolution. So if you click on the Windy map and look at your local forecast, take it with a grain of salt - the model doesn't resolve down to the scale of your backyard. The status quo is for companies or agencies to use statistics or ML to "correct" the forecast against local observations, which dramatically improves the accuracy of forecasts like, "What will tomorrow's max temperature be" or, "what is the probability it will rain this evening?"

Years ago a friend dropped his car off for three hours to get an MOT. When he received the certificate it had apparently been issued by a garage hundreds of miles away so it was plainly bogus.

When they stop existing, that’s less money.

What I mean is that the postal service provides a server, people mailing letters. Facebook’s service is people messaging each other.

If people started sending links to each other in the mail and it kills newspapers, should the postal service pay?

People message all sorts of stuff on Facebook. And it frequently causes companies to make less money and/or stop existing. That doesn’t mean Facebook should pay those companies to keep existing.

What do you mean by speakers? As in for the radio? I've noticed that, too, but, fortunately, where I live they aren't that common yet.

What is common, though, is people on bicycles and kick scooters carrying a loud-ass speaker blasting random music. Reminds me of boomboxes in old American movies. Fortunately, that doesn't carry as far as the exhaust, so it's not a problem while I'm in my apartment, only when walking down the street.
Yes, I understand there is a label for a diet that includes fish and not other animal protein.

But my point is that people more or less ignore that there are specific labels with clear meanings and go for labels that have a vibe that they like, regardless of their accuracy.

Like 'vegan' has a philosophical overtone, it isn't just a label for a plant based approach to eating, it's a strict approach rooted in a rejection of (at least perceived) animal exploitation. So someone that eats plants most of the time and grabs the occasional steak as a treat isn't really anywhere close to vegan.
