> This is really hypocritical of Canada to do (as a Canadian). Canada is home to our fair share of bigots, and while we may not pass laws criminalizing some LGBT behaviour, we shouldn’t throw stones if we live in a glass house

Its not “throwing stones”, its providing relevant guidance to travellers about potentially signfiicantly-personally-impactful legal differences they may face when travelling.

Government travel advisories aren’t generally intended as debating techniques or moral signalling, they are intended as tools to address the needs of citizens travelling abroad, because having people aware and prepared is more effective than having consular officials trying to help them out of messes they’ve gotten into by not being aware and prepared.
reminds me of big.js and decimal.js, working with decimals is really fun apecially on apps involving money. no room for errors!
In theory.

In practice, the body is the battlefield and using very strong (toxic) drugs to pursue a scorched earth policy type health agenda tends to cost humans more than it costs pathogens.

If you successfully ruin this pathogen but also ruin the host, something steps in and that something tends to be something we cope with even less well, much like many Native tribes were decimated by "common" European diseases upon initial exposure because they had no immunity.
But it's the epitome of mass low-cost evil.
i personally was in company for 6 months. developers had 10-15 years seniority. those processes happened without any connection to scrum, but. this company had mandated scrum that was defined by agile methodology department which developed it's own scrum tracking tools (i made sibling comment about it).

scum-sprints were used in order to avoid making designs and chop things into tiny pieces that were taking entire spring to develop. sprint demoes were "faked" (same demo could be shown for months at a time or there will be no real functionality behind it).

i worked in different company where they hired senior vp of engineering whose resume on linkedin was full of "implemented scrum - improved delivery/quality/etc". so engineering went to do hard core agile, with sprints, demoes that were showing amazing progress and that we are on track for doing everything in time. day before release eng. manager went to him and let him know that nothing works and they need at least half an year to get to half of the defined scope (i warned him about it two months ahead, he told me that I crazy). story ends with C-level appearing on one of the all-hands, calling him aside for a chat. he was never seen again.

so yes, for me, mandated scrum is symptom of the company that I won't go to work for.

A key unlocks the car.

It is an implicit assumption, when buying a car, that it is not trivial to start the car without said key.

If you paid $2000 for a security door, just for the door to be opened by anyone with a credit card, would you not feel defrauded?

Or would you make a sorry jab at the culture of the people doing the harm, to play pretend devil's advocate in bad faith, just to stroke your petty ego, trying to induce a culture war?

Tell me why I'm wrong. [I totally deserve everyone's attention by the way! Look at me!!!11!]
Wouldn't it be nice if your cellular provider had a SIP gateway for your number as well, and if it rang your phone it would also route to your SIP device?

Like, it's already routing calls through the WiFi. Is it really that much harder for them to allow two devices to register for the number and connect the first to answer?
I think it’s just an inherently theistic mindset to flip from “if not God, then it must be evolution”. As opposed to being content with the random happenstance and mystery of it all. And figuring out what your individual life means for yourself.

But again as I said, if there is a God it doesn’t change anything really. We’ve still got to figure out what to do with ourselves, and we’ve still got to figure out what ethical systems to use and ignore.

I’m not speaking about any one specific system. You’re going to have to provide me with an example of a fiat assumption. I don’t think anything grounded in base human emotions (empathy being a big one) would qualify.

Many of our cultural values are grounded in religion and that’s fine (maybe it’s the other way around). Assuming that these values are Gods will and not debatable are dangerous. That’s what I mean by “reason based”.
Well "consuming" the code means copying it word for word into your source tree. The compilation process does mangle it a bit but usually you can find identical function names and so on, and the courts have ruled that object code is equivalent to source code for purposes of copyright.

A different situation is you read a copyrighted news article and write the facts from it in your essay. Since the copyright of the news article only extends to creative expression and not factual information, there is no violation. For me, it is hard to tell what difference there is between this situation and an LLM identifying statistical patterns in the news article.

The tech sector is big on innovation and that probably seems orthogonal to government contracts to many. It feels like IBM is a dinosaur using the government to stay alive meanwhile companies like Microsoft and Google have contributed to the ecosystem of tools I use every day while thriving and feel like sexy companies in comparison. I don't know the company that well but this is how I think many view it.
If you do not license the "bits and pieces" then the courts will find you in violation of their copyrights. Pretending AI is different is bizarre out-of-touch "but I'm so special" solipsism.
> You want three pieces of information, a date, a location and a local time. Note that I do not think you actually want a time zone, what if you are not in London and that place gets moved into another timezone?

Theoretical arguments are nice, but in the real world, meetings are regularly scheduled were one or all people aren't physically at the location, say the company's headquarters, but the local time zone and its DST shifts are obviously still respected.
It looks quite good, getting Roadster vibes from the design.
Not to be rude, but you let your passport in a laptop bag with an actual laptop inside in plain sight in a mall parking lot because it would be just a couple minutes?

You're not at fault here, the thieves are, of course. Stealing sucks, and they probably did not care about your passport at all, but still...

I've done the same in the past, leaving my passport and stuff in the car in places I thought were safe. I got lucky so far, but I'll try to remember I was just lucky and be more careful in the future. Thanks for sharing.
You've nailed the "creative" but not the "original" and you need both.

I've actually driven FSD Beta on rural roads (though not at night, since they are generally unsafe at night IMO) and it performs well, with a few hiccups. It dodges cars, slows as it approaches hill crests, and halts when it can't see terrain.
It's not the same. If you make exactly the same mouse movements in paint 100 times, you will get 100 identical images. If you enter the exact same midjourney prompt 100 times, you'll probably get 100 different resulting images. The relationship between your authorship and the final image in the two cases is quite different.
> Until they're driving everywhere humans drive, I don't see how it's possible to make any such comparison.

You raise a good point but surely it's at least possible to compare the safety records of driverless cars vs. human operated cars within the domain that driverless cars typically operate. One way to do that would be to only examine all trips, human and driverless, that occur entirely within a bounded area that driverless cars are known to operate. Another option would be to look at the total safety record of a city like SF in the years prior to widespread driverless car usage and in the years after common adoption and see if there is a broad reduction in accidents generally.

Apropos of this, the other day I was thinking about the adoption of mobile devices. Originally the unadorned word "phone" referred to a wired home/office telephone, and if you needed to refer to a mobile device, you'd say, call me on my mobile/cellphone. Over the course of a generation it's now that if you say "phone," the assumption is that you are talking about a mobile device, and the exceptions become either landline or office phone. It makes me wonder how long, if ever, it will be until "car" almost universally refers to driverless vehicles, and you'll need to say "manual car," "meatmobile," or something similar to those to refer to a human-driven vehicle.
Hi, guys, try our AI based domain name generator for your sites
Hi, guys! I've created a free AI based domain name generator.
Usually I get annoyed by domain names before my own site goes live. The domain names I can think of are either very expensive or already registered, and I always end up choosing a domain name that doesn't satisfy me as much. So I developed an AI based domain name auto-generator, where you need to tell it what your website is for, and it automatically generates 10 candidate domain names. Then you can freely switch the domain suffix, and after clicking on it, it's easy to find out if the domain name is available and what price it is. So all you have to do is merely describe your website and then check if the domain is available for purchase. It's as simple as that and I hope it will be useful for you! Feel free to reach me: extrabasd@tutanota.com
Sorry, I just saw this! We actively monitor each open source repository and as packages are published, we pull them down and analyze each line of code and any associated metadata. We also pull as much information as we can get from VCS platforms like Github and Gitlab. We then run some heuristics, analytics, and ML models over this data to make a determination of whether or not something is malicious. I should stress that this process is fully automated, it's just not tenable to do this work at this scale manually. Today we process about 2-3M files each day, across 30-50k packages. It's pretty crazy how many attacks are going on every single day.
Controversial, but I don't think it's a bad use of resources. Noise from parties is horrible and it's too easy to get away with it by just not answering the door.

I came here to say the same thing. Images and their layers are loosely related to the Dockerfile format (each command is a layer), but Dockerfiles are as useful for execution as C Source files are. Likewise images can be sent and received without a Dockerfile just like an executable without its source.
A book I recommend is the Geography of Nowhere. This book addresses the question, what makes an ideal community? Are they legal to build? and why is America so boxy? It also talks about planned communities, and some cities in America that work, like Savannah, and Portland.

tldr. we were great at planning cities up until the 20's then the depression happened, then WW2 happened. These two events killed off anyone in America who could build a city, the car was invented, and then horrible urban sprawl happened.

Great book.

That section is written in parallel verse, with copyright <> science, and patent <> useful arts. This sounds weird, now, but it's consistent with the use of the words at the time, which is the reverse of how they are used today, where paintings etc are considered art, and inventions are considered science. So, it's not that copyright exists to promote science and art (as we call them today) but only just the arts. Patents are for science. Authorship reflects copyright and invention reflects patent:

> Congress shall have the power... To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.”

Sweden is a terrible example unless you are on board with the idea of 100 yr mortgages. Rural-WV is also a pretty bad example because it's a very historically democrat area that's mostly reliant on a single industry that's been decimated. Rural WV went from above average prosperity to impoverished in a single generation due entirely to outside influences.

Additionally WV Median PPP is $48,662 vs Sweden's only $32,788.

But at least in 2016 Sweden moved to reduce the maximum length of a mortgage to 105 years.
This comment ought to be turned into a macro, and automatically added to the replies every time this topic comes up. Spot on.
I keep thinking that as people lose faith in regular cities they are going to want to live in a Disneyland. Reminds me of Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. Traveling into the general city outside the gates was a big deal.
There is a huge business reason to restrict the isa. simple stable interfaces are very attractive to users(buyers).

Take amd64 as a counter example, not only does it not take 4 million lines of code to interface with an amd64 processor, when something new is added the processor is still compatible with existing code. x86 as an architecture is a bit of a train wreak but much of it's success is the effort to keep the interface stable.

Also for example arm, this is getting better but the hardest part about using arm is the isa is all over the place, every single bloody SBC appears to have a different isa.
> In [Kanban] there are no reports(daily standup) accountability (demos) and no deadlines (sprints).

People always say this but ... why?

Yes, maybe some book somewhere says that Kanban™ doesn't have stand-ups or demos, but the secret is in the name: agile. Just do what is right for your team, and drop the rest.

A lot of the pain of "scrum" comes from the misunderstanding and abuse of story points, velocity, and sprint planning. Kanban can help relieve these pain points specifically, but just because you're now using a different way to project progress doesn't mean you also have to throw away other practices that may be beneficial to your team.

Given the state of things at the time the country was formed, “we need you at the ready to handle Injuns” may well be the answer.
Given what's written on the site, perhaps you could at least let the democratic process go a few steps down the road before assuming that what your Huffington Post betters told you to believe is actually true?
take a drive through that part of Solano County.
Just what we need, more cities where there’s no water sucking every last bit of what’s left.
I understand why it is so, but it’s weird that this is framed as a way to help Solano county residents with their immediate term problems when it’s pretty blatantly intended to be a new technology hub. It mentions jobs but you know… not what kind of jobs, or how Solano county residents will fill them.

I guess they had to scramble to hire some PR firm to spin their plans to Solano County residents and had to come up with something. But completely glossing over what they actually intend to do - attract techies and technology jobs - seems kind of like an insult to the intelligence of the people this is addressed to.
Quote from the website: "Our goal is to build homes of different sizes and price points integrated in the same walkable neighborhoods, with homes, shopping, dining, and schools all within walking distance. We are also interested in exploring new paths to homeownership for Solano residents through down-payment assistance programs and other solutions"

This sounds a lot like a community development project. This sounds very similar to other community development projects like Levittown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levittown

I don't think the investors in this project are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts even though the brochure website seems to imply that. If I am not mistaken this is a money making venture. They will provide value however by investing and building up Solano.
Even in your link people are calling out Proton's BS. Tesonet and Proton go hand in hand.

You haven't addressed any of the communities concerns. What about the second link where "Bynet Data Communications" with ties to Israel's IDF, is providing network services?

Many prisons don't allow dice. And some don't allow DnD books ("too stimulating"). This leads to many interesting and remarkable adaptations to play. As an example, I heard from a guy that they rolled a d20 by drawing paper lots with the numbers 1 through 20 written on them. He also memorized the entire PHB. Cool dude.
Residential areas are not to blame for California's water mismanagement. Agriculture with corruption are.
I meant more like the code they are using these days for that same problem of ab initio oxygen isotopes or whatever it would be called. I know they didn't use GPU for things until recently, like maybe even now they haven't converted it yet.
The AI art seems pretty quickly generated. If they had paid someone to edit it or draw it, this piece wouldn't look so rushed.

That's a poor comparison. We can't control when we get solar power, and we can't easily store excess solar power right now. Hydropower is available on demand. Green sources of electricity like this are worth building today, because the current best alternative appears to be natural gas turbine generation.
> I'm still waiting for one that advertises that it can drive a rural road in the Midwest after sunset in the winter with poor cell reception as it goes through valleys.

First, this is a fallacy: "products have no value unless they meet the performance of their competition in every possible use case" is simple not true and never has been.

And it's wrong anyway. FSD on my Model Y does great on unlit night time roads in the mountain west. So unless you're positing something special about the "Midwest" I don't see the issue here.

And in fact it's wrong in silly ways. That's not the hard part! Following the pavement is the easy bit, and the car does it more or less perfectly. Where it has trouble is in urban traffic. It's timid[1], it makes poor long-term lane planning choices (i.e. if there's a long line waiting for a left turn it will try to "go around" in the right lane and then get stuck), it will occasionally refuse to pass construction cones if it can't model out what's supposed to happen, it sometimes will slow down to "avoid" cars that are technically on collision courses but will "obviously" stop (e.g. cars on the opposite side of the road pulling into middle turn lanes -- the Tesla hates that).

There's clearly work to do. But it's not the work you think needs to happen, and in particular it's not in areas that impact "safety" in the way you're imagining.

Frankly at this point I'm more comfortable on the roads, especially on the highways, with FSD doing the microdriving for me than I am driving myself. The contention of this article matches my experience more or less perfectly.

[1] A recent regression is that it really doesn't like oncoming motorcycles and will slow down inexplicably for them where it's just fine with the cars in the same lane.

> Abstract: This study tests the hypotheses that overall environmental knowledge and climate-specific knowledge are inversely related to climate change anxiety, such that people who know more (less) about the environment in general, and about climate in particular, are less (more) anxious about climate change. Time lagged data were collected from N = 2,066 individuals in Germany. Results showed that, even after controlling for demographic characteristics, personality characteristics, and environmental attitudes, overall environmental knowledge and climate-specific knowledge were negatively related to climate change anxiety (both B = -.09, p < .001).
I don't just want it to be safer than me, I want it to be shockingly safer. If self driving cars are safer than an average driver that's great. But the cars need to be 10x as good as an average driver and 2x as good as a 99th percentile driver before the objections start to fade.
>it's pretty clear that they don't generalize. I've seen far to many examples of models failing to display any sense of generalization to believe otherwise

Failing to generalize on whatever you have in mind is not evidence that the models are incapable of generalization. If you really think so, just be prepared to write off a good chunk of humans as well lol.

This is generalization. https://general-pattern-machines.github.io/

Just seems to me like you've taken examples of generalization and invented an alternate meaning just so you can't admit it generalizes.

"Oh but you see this example of answering an unseen question is "insert meaningless distinction" so it doesn't really count"
Accessing WSL files via 9P works pretty nice, except for when you use JetBrains. Half of its tools interacting with Docker & WSL do not understand how to work with the \\wsl$\ prefix. Some places you have to put \\wsl$$\, but on other places it gets converted to //wsl$/ which then breaks path mapping.

Disney has a history of attempting this. EPCOT was originally supposed to be a city you could live in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPCOT_(concept)

Later they built they town of "Celebration", but have divested most of it.

What this "California Forever" proposal most reminds me of though is "Golden Oaks", which is Disney's latest attempt, less like a city, more like a large-scale retirement community.

I think natural language to SQL is a worthwhile goal and will have its use cases, but perhaps fine-tuning a model on a semantic layer and having it talk to a semantic data modeling API will yield a more useful/practical result. You may even find the semantic layer makes a natural language approach moot in many cases.

In Zillion* I added an experimental feature that uses OpenAI to form a report API call from natural language. Fine tuning (vs prompt tuning) this on the semantic model with gpt-3.5 would probably yield some notable improvement in abilities, as I view it as more of a toy feature at the moment.
