Strong disagree.

This perspective is very western-centric. Nobody sees themselves as the villain in their own story, after all. I strongly doubt the non-Chinese non-Russians countries are thinking like that.

How about another perspective: when you run a science experiment, say if you are checking if a drug works or not, you don’t compare against “nothing”. You compare against a placebo sugar pill; otherwise you will get a significant placebo effect.

What if we replace the leaders of these countries with “placebos”? Let’s say they are generic, generally pro-democracy, boring leaders with the interests of their people at heart. Let’s not assume they’re trying to be villains for the sake of being villains, and try to explain this move. What would happen?

First off, it seems clear that world trust in the USA and western european countries is falling. The USA is chaotic domestically, and that is spilling over into its foreign policy. A neutral country cannot expect the USA to act in the public interest. The USA will always act in its own interest. For example, West Germany or Japan in the late 1990s could count on a total guarantee of USA protection against the USSR; nowadays, Taiwan is functionally a client state for the USA but seen as more “disposable” in the long run. The USA clearly intends to replace TSMC with domestic companies. Countries like Ukraine can count on USA support only for as long as public opinion holds; as soon as that dries up, the supplies will follow. Russia knows this and is fighting a war of attrition right now.

The western democracies are also bound by their election cycles. The USA’s global policy changes every 4 year election cycle, and can be hard to predict. In that sense, China or Russia are more stable allies- you’re not bound to a 4 year election cycle.

So if you’re a leader of a somewhat neutral country like Brazil or India or Egypt or Argentina, you’re not inclined to kowtow to the USA long term. It’s in your interest to recognize geopolitics is rapidly moving to a multipolar world, and being seen as one of the poles of the world as opposed to a single standard bearer is seen as being a good neighbor.
I think the best way to do that is installing better fare gates that prevent fare evasion. Seems reasonable to believe anti-social people on BART causing trouble are fare evaders and a crack down on fare evasion would keep them off the system.
That’s fair though, isn’t it?

That reflects the lost income potential from the shoplifting. Not just how much money it took to physically build an individual unit (and package and ship and stock it etc).

Now if they never sell at MSRP, then probably a slight discount from MSRP when reporting is fair. But definitely not just the BOM cost or similar…
Attackers can still outsource the PoWs. The sybil is the assumption that 1 PoW == one PC. But you can force this assumption with provisioning keys at least.

It covers 2 years of tuition and a bit of living costs in UK. However, I’ve now lost financial support from my parents since I can “just earn it yourself” and I’m in no hurry to go into debt. Will probably work part time during the first two years to cover whatever is missing.
If a company is offering unlimited anything, then people will use that unlimited whatever. It's not them being abusive. Those people are using what they paid for. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah, there's a lot of nuance here that is being lost. The second paragraph says:

"Take for example 34 E. 68th St. in Manhattan: The 1879 row house, located in the Upper East Side Historic District, once housed 17 separate apartments, according to property records. Now, it is a 9,600-square-foot single-family mansion after changing hands for $11.5 million in 2011 and a subsequent gut renovation."

1879 and an average of 565 sqft each. I don't think what those apartments were is what we want today.

> I can do whatever I want because 100 companies are responsible for 71% of GHG. It is their fault and their shareholders' fault and my behaviour has no effect.

I know the study you are referencing and this is an extremely bad and inaccurate summary of it.

What it said was that 71% of emissions traced back to 100 entities ( including both companies and states - “china” is one of the entities iirc ) and attributed emissions from the use of fossil fuels to the entity that extracted it

Fossil fuels are used for a lot of useful things that make the world go round and significantly improve the quality of life of much of humanity - food production , shipping and transport, industry, construction. You almost certainly are responsible for some of this consumption, as is most everyone else alive.

If these 100 entities stopped production of fossil fuels, we would have mass starvation and impoverishment, not paradise.
>> moving to a model of "signed software from power on to application level" for Windows.

This already a thing with Windows 10 in S Mode. So definitely not that.

There are quite a few CPUs that implement the necessary TPM crap and aren't supported. So not that. There are several new CPU features they want, but half or 3/4s of the CPUs on the supported list don't have them. So not that either.

Only valid reason left is that's arbitrary and not based on anything logical.
Counterpoint to SMB on Windows being great:

SMB usually works well in a domain environment between client and server machines if they are all on the same domain.
SMB often and randomly does not work between two client computers on a domain and in workgroup environment.
I have to configure SSH server on Windows computers that I access often because of random inability of Windows to talk to another computer (sometimes sitting right next to it).

Samba on the other hand takes some setting up but once it works, it keeps working...until the next OS/major version upgrade.
Sorry, I used the wrong terminology. They are called “spans” in Go’s GC. There are different sizes of spans that allocations end up in, which helps avoid fragmentation.
More realistic example: I want to pick start & end dates. Think hotel reservation. Two separate popups is not a good enough user experience.

Isn't the income potential only lost if it causes a loss of a sale (either because it runs out of stock, or if the shoplifter would have otherwise bought it)?
Stripping the Linux kernel down is what people do with Firecracker. I'm curious what savings you see in the Linux networking stack. You could compile it out and just rely on vsocks, but now you're breaking everyone's code and you're not winning anything on performance.
No shit. Paper straws literally need a plastic coating to work. It’s the dumbest invention ever. At least do compostable plastic straws over paper.l, and even that’s not great.

I see no issue with plastic straws that are then used by peaker electric plants.
They falsify so much, I don't know what is happening there. All I know they get lot of funding, which has happened with complete scams (everyone says it can't be a scam, until they knew it all along) and successes, and everything in between.
> The operation is now seen as largely a public-relations stunt

There was some fun speculation about what, exactly, they were after.

One story I was always fond of involved Donald Rumsfeld finding something unpleasant has been slipped into a classified presentation and flipping his lid; which resulted in the Sundevil raids as well as a general tightening of government and contractor security. Some of the holes Cliff Stoll mentioned in "Cuckoo's Egg" had been unaddressed until then.

The wild, flailing nature of their targeting certainly seems to match with someone being told "Go catch some hackers right now!" and having to ask "WTF is a 'hacker'?"
> For a simplified example, the lowest density of interstellar space is 100 molecules per m3. The number of water molecules in water is 3.3E28. If a photon travel 3.5E10 light years (35Bly)

Galaxies are nowhere near 35 billion light years across. Large galaxies are a few tens of thousands of light years across. Once you get outside galaxies, density drops by further orders of magnitude. In other words, your "simplified example" is utter nonsense.

What's surprising to me is that you assume that physicists are complete ignoramuses who haven't even bothered to do the simplest calculations. Do you really think that no one has ever sat down and calculated the effect of foreground absorption on the CMB? There are entire PhD theses on this one subject.

Anyone know of a docker image that provides an HTTP API interface to Llama? I'm looking for a super simple sort of 'drop-in' solution like that which I can add to my web stack, to enable LLM in my web app.
A lot of the official stories about security and theft at retail stores are just not true, of course. Locking up products correlates well with under-staffing: the grocery near me went from having liquor for sale on the shelf and a dedicated checkout counter staffed right there, to having all the liquor locked up and no staff member visible for miles.
Again, there are three domains afaik: Prokaryotes, archaea, eukaryotes.
Can you expand on this? What do you mean "security expectations go lower than ring-1", and how does that relate to gvisor?

> I think the requirement would be purity

Well, yeah, I think if I had instead said "if not static typing, then how would it be possible?" ... I had no idea how it could be done, but with something like purity - by which we mean deterministic functions, right? - I can at least start to see how it would be possible with Scheme.
> This doesn't sound like protecting the users and more like protecting the governments. What Harmful means routinely aligns with the powerful políticas and corporations and not people. I'm usually worried about how "protection of people/children" is used to restrict choice.

that is of course what it is. If you say or imply anything that is even one iota against the official narrative you must under all circumstances consume, believe, spread, it will be considered "harmful" at the least.

But dont worry, the blessed politicians, authorities, and talking heads on TV that tell you what to do and think, they will be exempt, so that they can continue to speak the absolute truth one day, and a few weeks later, the current truth (that directly contradicts previous) will both be true!

no. as with many things, the ones who screams "misinformation", "harmful" the loudest, are generally the ones lying, distorting, twisting, and doing misinformation attempts.

"I am from the government and I am here to help (tell you what the absolute truth is) (and if you disagree, we will crush you, unperson you) (and if you, over there, do ANYTHING to help these other guys think otherwise, we will fine you out of the market)"
That's a good reminder that there are a lot of hidden subsidies for roads too.

I imagine that we'll always have roads, but rails systems are optional, so the cost of roads is a given. Widespread use of self-driving vehicles should dramatically reduce the amount of lanes that need to be maintained though.

I'm familiar with the arguments about rail capacity vs cars, but I live by main road and train lines. The road is in use 24 hours a day, and the rails are mainly idle. My dream scenario is self-driving vehicles become ubiquitous and we replace all commuter rails systems with foot and bike paths.
OTOOH, I have worked in SF for 24 years. Back then I don't think I ever saw anyone shoplift. I'm sure it happened, but I never personally witnessed it. In the last year or so, I have personally witnessed people shoplifting in various SF retail establishments probably more than 30 times. On only two occasions have I seen anyone attempt do anything to try to stop the perpetrator. In my opinion, I think the CNN article is incorrect in its assertions. Based on my personal experiences, I would say it's happening a lot and with increasing regularity. I think the people who do it should be punished.
It’s hilarious that we all know DRM for video is doomed because anything someone can see can be copied.

And yet people think that somehow visual art is different; that there must be some technical solution that will keep the wrong people/computers from being able to see it, while letting the right ones in.

It is not now, and it never has been, and it never will be possible to have widespread distribution and absolute control over copies.

I discovered Obsidian this year, and it's not an understatement to say that it helped restore my faith in local-first computing and humane tools. Obsidian has helped me reclaim my thought process and my writing, and I'm much happier using it.

Like others have mentioned, your approach and ethos are a large part of why I decided to go all in on Obisidian, and that ethos is reflected in Sync. With Sync, everything is end-to-end encrypted and can be unsynced at any time without having to "export" anything or jump through hoops. Configuration is file-based and can be selectively synced, including themes. Beyond that, I can rest easy knowing that if Sync is ever down, I have all of my files right there.

When I downloaded Obsidian for the first time, I thought it was a shame that I didn't need to pay for it. So I was more than happy to find Sync and pay for the service to help what I see as a good company.

Kudos, and please keep up the good work.
I’ve been talking with a new friend who has ADHD, and I love the way we talk and interact. We say that we have “motor mouths” because we’ll just talk and talk and talk. We talk over eachother and interrupt eachother constantly, but somehow we are still able to communicate. Other people get upset with me but she really gets what it’s like, so we accept eachother and just go with the flow.

Does anyone know if there is a dating app for people with adhd? I’m curious if I have this kind of connection with other people as well or if it’s just her.
This is a good use of proof of work. Seems useful as it bottlenecks DDOS attacks by burdening them with having to give proof.

Those companies make things that you buy. If you didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them.

Ultimately all of this can be drawn back to the consumption of the individual.

Marco Reps is hilarious.
I'm hoping that England did some new math, and didn't just rediscover lost work.

That's in the paper, not the article. The rest of the article is physicists making ill-informed statements about biology they don't understand. The conceptual model isn't novel, it's rather standard to students of evolution and entropy. But the specific concrete mathematical-physical model of how light becomes life is incredibly important, but up to the experts to validate and product in experiment.

Point us to any reputable English dictionary which contains your definition of the word "unlimited."

Yours sounds like the Newspeak definition, not the English one. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, unlimited is limited.
A similar utility (much more bare-bones though) that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver

It's basically a nicer version of:

python -m http.server 8000

Basically just start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).

It works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and therefore should probably work on FreeBSD as well if you can install a Rust toolchain:

pkg install curl
pkg install git
pkg install rust
git clone https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver
cd uploadserver
cargo run --release

Then navigate to your machine's ip address port 8000 in the browser of your choice and upload files using the web UI or directly via curl:

curl -X POST --data-binary @file_to_upload.txt http://localhost:8000/file_to_upload.txt

I was unable to afford food around 1995. I have both dated and had family members on food stamps/EBT, which will easily keep you alive in California and Washington state (don't know about the rest of the nation). I know multiple people who could afford food, but spend it on alcohol/drugs consistently and end up with very little to eat (going to food banks and such).
> Input vs output.

This is what I've been wondering. Does Fair Use apply here at all? Sure, the models were trained on copyrighted material. But wouldn't the generative part of the AI count as transformative?
Yes, but if the goal is to help people participate, explaining what they did wrong rather than "we don't do that here" helps.

If the goal is "we only want people like us here" then keeping the status quo is good.

Copilot X is just their name for their project to bring AI to more areas of VSCode. I don’t believe they can use GPT-4 for completions because it’s a chat-optimized model. It seems that they are using something else, that blog post seems to imply it’s a custom-trained model.
I'm fairly certain we ship far more bugs now than we ever did.

Before we had the ability to just add a patch and let the user download it, the end result needed to be very solid, because once that disk was purchased and taken home, it was static.

Now less attention is paid to these things, because it's just assumed to be tomorrow's problem.
Well, yes, I sympathize, but it is his job.

Since he doesn't work for us, I don't find that fact as persuasive as you do.
Yes! This is what I’m talking about in my sibling post. I’ve never communicated on this level and it’s so easy. We started by texting giant walls of text (we called them stories), but those started getting too long, so we moved to leaving voice memos. It got to the point our memos were 30 minutes long back and forth. Now we talk on the phone for hours and it’s almost impossible to hang up, since we’ll just keep talking and taking.

And yeah, I definitely understand what you mean when you say it’s wild and easy. I don’t know if I can go back to talking with normal people lol.

I love it.

I'd like to make something more constrained. Instead of a fully-general programming language, let the LLM configure data-flows between pre-defined modules, field mappings, or presentations.

Then, hopefully, we could let the end-user more directly edit the prompt.
I wouldnt say they have 100% no fault.

I think it's more accurate to say they have _some_ fault AND no choice, because the world was already there, they existence wouldn't change anything and there's nothing one can do to change it (i mean, ordinary people like us).

We have marketing, media, teachers, society, manipulating us since we were kids.
Movies have convinced people that theft is this major, glamorous affair. It's really not, 99% of the time. People steal excavators from construction sites. People steal from themselves to defraud their insurance. Employees and managers steal from the stores they work at. Sometimes I leave the office with a dry erase in my purse. And yeah, wage theft is a major problem.
right, it's not per client; if it was per client you could just ban the abusive clients instead of asking them for pow. anonymity (or freely available new identities) mean that attackers can use a sybil attack to deny service via capacity overload
Moreover, pretty much all the turgid clauses of Mozilla's conduct code apply here as well; they're just not written in the guidelines, but rather in mod comments. That's deliberate; if you write them in the guidelines, people make a game of coming as close to the line as possible without crossing it, and there are huge meta squabbles over what the guidelines mean.
