1. Technically, superb, but administratively, well, I very nearly lost my 1.5 TB of backups because of billing admin issues. I had my account, had uploaded my data, had the account for some time - year or two - came to change to the bank card. BB introduced some new validation stuff, which rejected my card - I can't remember the details now, something to do with billing addresses. I spoke to Support, got absolutely nowhere, and my account was one or two days from being cancelled due to non-payment - Support at this point I recall were simply not responding, and were letting the account fail - when I put in a random address, not the address of the card, and this was accepted.

2. Currently, BB accept cards only if the country of the bank address matches the country of the billing address. As such, I'm paying UK sales tax, because my FinTech has its corp address in the UK, even though my address is outside of the UK and in a country without sales tax.

I will be moving off BB, once I get a bit of time to research the next best choice. I'm not comfortable with the risk which comes with their administrative processes and support.
What about the GP's comment implies that they support extraditing people to foreign countries?
I interviewed at a very small company in Santa Monica in the late 80s, and they also had all of their applicants submit a handwriting sample for analysis. They claimed that it was a very reliable indication of something-or-other.

I went ahead and filled it out while I was there, but I'd already decided not to move forward by the time the interview was over.
Absolutely. Just pointing out that one is strictly a pejorative, while the others would likely be viewed as 'someone in the airforce.' I think OP was wanting things more of the former, like gravy seals, meal team six, y'all queda, etc.
I don't see how not mentioning how much they are getting in severance has anything to do with what they mentioned. You may wish to know for curiosities sake but frankly it's none of your business.
I think the idea was that the native bees lose share of the resources to honeybees that are artificially supported. Which is not something I had thought about before.
No, I hedged for that in my language. You're attributing far too much certainty to me.
Yes, that would be a great example, especially when applied to gasoline.

What could possibly go wrong from adding a sudden huge load to our already unstable and crumbling infrastructure?

It’s not like we don’t have any spare parts for the majority of our grid or anything, right?

Oh.
Signal is threatening to leave jurisdictions where they become illegal rather than comply. They're not threatening to keep operating in violation of the law.
It's right there in the article.

> The analysis done by Kong and his student relies on the key idea that a genetic sequence that occurs more frequently in participants than in nonparticipants will also occur more frequently in the genetic regions that are shared by two related participants.

> Put differently, a bit of DNA that is common in the population will show up frequently in the study. But it will still only have a 50/50 chance of showing up in the child of someone who carried a copy. If a bit of DNA makes people more likely to enroll in genetic studies, it will be more common both in the overall data and among closely related family members.

> So they checked the genetic sequences shared between first-degree relatives—either parents and children or siblings (but not twins)—in the UK Biobank.
That's already 13 years old though.
Same here. Blown away how was Windows 11 for ARM is in a VM on on M1 Mac.
Why would you expect that in a blog post targeted at the general public? It focuses on what the target audience cares about (games).
This. I got through like 98% of the game thinking "What is everyone on about? This game is amazing..."
That is the entire history of gaming though, no? It's the same churn you are working with now but you're not making games or fun, you're making productivity tools or better graphics or whatever, and other people are using that for games.

So exactly how was Amazon making money by selling ebooks at a loss and Kindles at a loss?

And you keep moving the goal posts. At first you claimed that Amazon was and bookstores were selling below suggested retail.

> My main claim with regards to Amazon is mainly if they were guilty of price fixing

No one claimed that Amazon was price fixing. The contention was that Amazon was price dumping to drive competitors out of the market.
Off the top of my head the only thing I can think of that did that was TVs.
"there's nothing in these models for movement or robotics"

You should read the article. It talks about exactly this use case, using an LLM as part of robotics control systems.

If Russia is moving nukes into Belarus, the US might be planning a preemptive assault. Maybe not immediately, but mayve seriously enough that they want to get (US) civilians out of the way.

The Greek alphabet, sure, but Hagia Sophia? The one that was ordered to be built by a Roman emperor and consecrated by a Christian bishop from Antioch? I would describe it as Roman, Byzantine, or Ottoman before I would describe it as Greek.
So true, that was once something you could count on from any mature application that had much of any UI to speak of. We took for granted that because it was a computer, of course almost everything can be customized. That was a lot of what was exciting about computers.

Today everything (web, mobile app, desktop) is converging toward "One lazy UI, optimized for aesthetics, riddled with junk drawers ( ••• buttons) and static" -- except not really static since the whole UI is ripped and replaced every 18 months or so to capitalize on some trend or because a new "UX designer" came to power.
I agree with you. I don't think most people care. Most users hear "free" and their interaction stops there.

The fact that hasicorp changed their license has precisely zero impact on me using OpenSSL in my next project.

I think the key problem word is "community". 99.999% of OSS users are not in any concept of "community". They just run software. Firefox users aren't a "community" - they are just people browsing the Web.

So no, companies can change to BSL licenses all day and you can count all the people in the world who care in one HN thread.
They made a 2? I remember getting the demo disk of MDK from GamePro Magazine AGES ago.
From "Interferometric imaging of amplitude and phase of spatial biphoton states" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-023-01272-3 :

> [...] The number of projective measurements necessary for a full-state tomography scales quadratically with the dimensionality of the Hilbert space under consideration [2]. This issue can be tackled with adaptive tomographic approaches [3,4,5] or compressive techniques [6,7], which are, however, constrained by a priori hypotheses on the quantum state under study. Moreover, quantum state tomography via projective measurement becomes challenging when the dimension of the quantum state is not a power of a prime number [8]. Here we try to tackle the tomographic challenge, in the specific contest of spatially correlated biphoton states, looking for an interferometric approach inspired by digital holography [9,10,11], familiar in classical optics. We show that the coincidence imaging of the superposition of two biphoton states, one unknown and one used as a reference state, allows retrieving the spatial distribution of phase and amplitude of the unknown biphoton wavefunction. Coincidence imaging can be achieved with [... Quantum Imaging]

They didn't "just" send a PR or "just" write some code, they made a financial tool which earned them millions while ignoring regulations for these type of financial tools. No one who sent a PR was arrested or even investigated: just the people running Tornado. This has been pointed out time and time again.

Crypto wants to be taken serious as a financial tool. Okay, fine. This also means you have to follow the same rule as anyone else.

Don't like these rules? Fine, you're allowed to – we have a democratic process for changing that so go vote, lobby, etc. Remember the 2008 banking crisis? There are reasons these regulations exist.

Banks get fined for these types of things all the time too: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=bank+fined+money+laundering... – crypto isn't being singled out here.

If you knowingly ignore the laws for personal profit you can expect consequences like this. Cryptopeople want to live in some sort of magical fantasy world where they both want to interact with real money and the financial markets when it suits them, but also pretend specific laws and rules for it don't apply to them when they're inconvenient. All while they're lining their pockets of course. Maybe this world has unicorns and dragons and teletubbies too.
Yeah. The Switch's CPU isn't exactly powerful by modern game console standards. I can't imagine that demanding games like Nintendo's flagship titles wouldn't have to run a little bit (or a lot) worse with Denuvo's DRM eating up cycles.
Nvidia Earnings Release
Nvidia just released a monster earnings guidance. $6,188M profit (up 840% from last year) from $13,507M in sales (up 101% from last year), beating analyst estimates.
Yeah if only there were actually openings, thats the problem. The market is crap atm. Its not like ive not applied to a job before, or dont have experience.
Your comparing first run content or second run on the same network to streaming. Your argument should be syndication rates to streaming.
Well, in BioWare’s case it’s been reduced to a sticker that EA haphazardly slaps onto random games and random internal studios. The Bioware that most people think about was only based in Canada. Pretty sure that the DNA that made it great is mostly gone if not completely nonexistent at today’s EA. EA likely destroyed it during 2010-2011.
I was also told my FAANG offer was non-negotiable.

After declining it, for reasons of pay and location, I got a call back 5 minutes later, with a better location, and ~12% more money on the table.

You have no idea. There are a lot of senior engineers at NVDA making 7 figures total comp annually. How many are there at Intel?
Maybe I’ll take flak for this. I feel like Slack and kin have done the best job here for providing remote collaboration tools.

I feel much more productive in write-first teams. Meetings can be done over Zoom then, and they’re always short and productive. Anything works at that point.

What made you initially think they might have been narcissists, but later decided they weren't?

In particular, it seems to me that many people that are autistic, might seem like narcissists to others, but it is a very different experience for them.
This is a false sense of solidarity: each of the above (with maybe the exception of BitTorrent) is a communications platform, not something expressly designed to violate KYC/AML laws.

The USG can be legitimately accused of all kinds of gross excesses, but they can't be accused of not understanding the difference between these things. Pretending otherwise doesn't do any party any particular justice.
I agree about verifying. Currently there are some contested edits on Huberman's wiki. I was wondering if your credulity was related.

The Old Republic would be a fine game, if it wasn't an MMO.

And I don't mean multiplayer, that is fine. But the hotbar mashing combat, the grindy areas filled with standing mooks, all the padding and instancing... Bioware Austin did a great job changing it to be more KOTOR-like over the years, but at its core its a hotbar MMO.

On a seperate note, Andromeda was tragic, but I still liked it.

Anthem was... Just tragic. I am literally the target demographic (a ME3 coop fan) but was not the least bit interested.
Using Russian engines, like the ISS collaboration was an attempt by the US to keep soviet rocket scientists in business in civilian roles so they wouldn't be incentivized to spread around the world proliferating ICBM tech.

In the process the US paid a huge price (decay of domestic design capability) and it's debatable if the goal was achieved.

Edit: Thankfully the decay has been made up for over recent years with the boom in private launch companies and of course, SpaceX's work.
No, I got the joke. I'm fully aware that Baldur's Gate 3 is not related to Bioware at all.

Also that Larian is basically eating Bioware's lunch right now because Bioware has dropped the ball on Dragon Age which would occupy a similar space to BG3

It's actually even funnier that Larian is doing it by using a franchise that Bioware built 20 years ago.
But it’s not.
The government is going to make the case not that a tool was made that could be used for money laundering, but that a tool was made to intentionally allow for money laundering. The former is not illegal, the latter is.

But regardless of intentions, not following KYC/AML rules is illegal.
Never been able to get past a game breaking crash bug so I've never finished KOTOR2 sadly.

If I accept everything about the studies in here, that really only means people can be rational if they try to be and in put in the effort to get the right information for what they want to do. That's also limited by what you can remember to think about at the time or successfully encode into plans and notes. The problem is, lots of people don't put major effort into doing so. They drink alcohol, they get addicted to opiates, they have massively high time preferences (possibly due to previously mentioned), and they take massive risks. People may generally be rational, but running up to someone you think is insulting you, attacking them, and having no escape plan is probably not helpful for achieving your goals, but a lot of people do it every day.
IIUC, the salient points are:
- target area was very small (500m x 500m) for CY2. With CY3 they've made it bigger at 4km x 4km, allows for larger margin of error.

- CY2 lander had limited leeway in fixing issues, by design. CY3 has more and has landed itself, no assistance from base.

- CY2 lander had limited time to fix itself, apparently it was just a few seconds short of making it fine
Yeah, it's just such a cool image, the person with the notebook at the meeting, he's probably doing something cool, with the same media that a lot of my favorite works of art and technical things probably started on.

He's got his job figured out so well it makes sense to have dedicated accessories and actually carry them around. He's a master of his tools, he must be really passionate about what he's doing(Or else he'd be staring at a screen). He's really made it.

But the actual experience... feels like work. And creates physical artifacts, which is then even more work, and phones are so highly addictive it really feels like work by comparision. Then if I go back and read them, I can't, unless I was carefully paying attention to each individual letter as I write it.

Not exactly something you can just pick up, it takes lots of experience to be able to write without being so distracted by trying to get your hand to make the letters that you stop paying attention...

Really the only time I ever write on paper these days is tabletop RPGs, a few checklists for very high profile projects worth having both digital and analog versions of, and a play I volunteered for where real paper made the most sense for tracking cues on lines of the script.
> Those upper echelons are only there as an accident of history.

That seems like an awfully bold assertion. Mafia bosses have a different set of rules than most of us, but to think they survive by repeatedly flipping a coin and being lucky is preposterous.
Nice post! I've always kept a journal since using laboratory notebooks (and learning how to organise them) at uni. Over the decades I've settled on taking a notebook and running a bullet journal from the front page, in, and an "autofocus" to-do list from the back page, in. This year I'm hosting it inside a day-to-a-page Moleskine diary because I never really spill over one page for my daily log and I was going through three journals a year which incurs three-times setup overhead.
I read the same book, and while it did help me in several respects (nasal breathing, mandibular and maxillar expansion via an orthodontic device, mouth taping), I only used its box breathing techniques under acute stress. It wasn't until I read a chapter in Peter Attia's Outlive about breathing techniques that I started changing my breathing in a way that, for me, feels like it's actively stimulating the vagus nerve. Here's how it works.

You want to breathe to expand your entire diaphragm, breathing into your upper and lower chest. One way to do this is to breathe through your nose slowly enough that you can't hear the sound of your own breathing.

To get a hang of it, lay on your back on a flat surface, place a hand on your stomach and a hand on your chest, and breathe in slowly. You should feel your stomach and chest rise evenly, neither too much in the stomach, nor too much in the chest.

Once you understand this feeling, you can practice it throughout your day. You feel your whole diaphragm expand, feeling the tension through your chest, stomach, and even expanding into your lower back. Anyways, that's how it's described in the book. I can say that since starting this breathing technique, I've felt a lot calmer. Best of luck, check the book out if you'd like a far more detailed and accurate explanation than mine.
Doesn't matter. Any reasonable definition of "libertarian" is going to exclude Nazis.
You mean another cash for clunkers scheme? Like the one that has caused the prices of cars to skyrocket already?

Yeah, great idea there.
Well there's a major difference here. Paying a dev overseas $50,000 a year instead of $180,000 a year could be well worth it even though you incur losses in areas like coordination, community, and communication.

But paying devs $180,000 a year to sit alone 20km away from each other, while they slack and zoom doesn't have the same cost/benefit ratio to consider. You still lose the benefits mentioned above, but don't save anything on costs.

This isn't an argument for or against remote work, but offshoring and WFH have important differences.

I wondered why those Navy videos spend an inordinate amount of time showing how food is made and interviewing the chefs, it makes sense that is the least classified area and they aren't scared of bothering important stuff (not to downplay food).
AMD seem to be catching up quickly lately. I'm running Stable Diffusion, Llama-2, and Pytorch on a 7900XTX right now. Getting it up and running even on an unsupported Linux distro is relatively straightforward. Details for Arch are here: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2584462

The HIP interface even has almost exact interoperability with CUDA, so you don't have to rewrite your code.
Far from me to defend pederasty, but I'm quite sure I would disagree with the thing you wouldn't want to publish, RL or not.
> Was there not just precedent set for this?

No.

> One might argue that artists take inspiration from other artists to make the argument that what the AI is doing is fine.

This doesn't seem to address what I took to be the relevant part of IP law - that non-human authors don't create copyrighted works. It was a reductio ad absurdum for minimal non-human involvement. It's probably not the case that a monkey stealing your camera and taking a selfie creates a copyrighted work. It's probably the case that a frog triggering a motion sensor you set up for nature photography does. It's certain painting normally with a horsehair brush does.

Your remarks seem to make some sort of moral appeal, but I'm not sure how it ties into the legal concerns I thought was being raised.

> the ai is actually only capable of blending what it’s been trained on, whereas an artist is not similarly limited.

I'm not sure what "blending" means here or what the actual theories of generative art ML systems and of humans here are. To call what the former do "blending" requires such a broad definition I can't tell you if humans are blending as well (at least some of the time, at least materially) when creating works.
It also shows naked greed. Hashicorp’s founding as an open source company was a bet that a company could open source everything and still mint money.

And mint it did, billions, in the IPO. And now, abandoning its ideals for the sake of money, I feel a lot less optimistic about open source going forward.
I’m not talking entirely about the practicality of it. I’m talking about the impracticality of the type of forced market regulation that you’re suggesting which goes against everything that is (corporate, capitalist) America.

If China starts making good RISC-V chips at half the price of the USA. I bet you will be seeing a lot of Chinese chips in the USA…

If China makes more better chips cheaper it will not be financially viable to do what you’re talking about.
I don’t really get this angle. You can use the tools within your business. You can’t host the tools and ask for money for other businesses to use the tool.

It creates a moat around monetising the tool, not using it. I certainly see the argument around free loaders.
My point is, 8% on earnings is hardly volatile.

> Not if you understand what stocks are and how betting on biotech stocks is not a wise investment.

So you're giving investment advice for putting money in NVDA stock at the top or all time highs, right now on earnings as a 'wise investment' to make 8% (after hours) when others are clearly taking their money out of the market.

Unless you already invested in NVDA stock last year, that move is gone and you're just telling retail late comers to throw money at NVDA at the top for others to take their profits.
