i remember an article about people from Moldova trafficked to Turkey, where they promptly had one or two organs harvested and then sent back home.
the horror...
Let me ask a simple question: What can be done about this, other than violence? I do not see a legal path going forward where all these corrupt individuals get removed from their positions of power.

An eye for an eye.

How do you "prefer kanban"? Don't all these methodologies use kanban boards?
This is giving Google too much credit.
Grindr was bought by a Chinese company. Gee, I wonder why a (I presume CCP backed) company would want a list of all the closeted gay US Senators?
unsurprising as AI is the hot trend for 2023, despite the confounding reality that most if not all "AI" has largely been a parlour trick that writes sentences similarly to humans sometimes.

before AI it was cloud. im starting to think now that theres nothing left to sell, we just invest in memes and ideas and form a tacit communal agreement that the outcome is what we want.
> Am I missing something here ?

Yes, I think so. The evidence he's showing demonstrates the claim he made (within a reasonable level of accuracy given the data). The point is that the number of OBC professors is much smaller than you'd expect, ceteris paribus, and one likely explanation is caste discrimination in top-rated North American CS departments.

Windscribe is on the map with one connected node: their DNS service Control D. I know it seems a bit hypocritical and untrustworthy since it is written by a VPN company, but Windscribe is generally regarded as trustworthy, privacy oriented, and not deceiving customers for money [0]. Companies such as Windscribe, Mullvad, IVPN, and Proton are better in almost all cases than something like Surfshark because they minimize the risk of your personal info falling into the wrong hands. Unlike those proprietary companies that will turn over your full browsing history in a heartbeat when in court, companies like Windscribe will have nothing to turn over in the first place. I use Windscribe all the time personally because even if sites profile me, I dislike the fact that they can know the city in which I love just from connecting to the site, so there are a few other benefits.

We might be saying the same thing here, but modern C scopes variables down to the block. So if you have a variable declared for instance inside of a for loop or if statement, that variable is out of scope once you exit the block.

This will fail to compile with an "undeclared identifier" error:

if ( x > 0 )
{
int y = 1;
}
printf("%d", y);

It is a feature that was long overdue in C IMHO.
I know of zero parking lots/structures, however new or trendy, which feature fuel pumps.

But - at least around me - EV chargers seem to be mandated (for at least for some of the spots) when any large or image-conscious organization builds or renovates parking infrastructure. For the purpose at hand, it doesn't matter whether the mandate is legal, or just "or what will they say about us on social media???".
Why? Photography is an established practice, with existing rules, so it seems like a good aid at reasoning about ml image generators.
E.g. by considering in which situations "your photo may be copyrighted by someone else" it might be easier to reason about cases when "your generated image may be copyrighted by someone else"
Considering the speed at which search results have been turned to trash, I'm not surprised they generated a lot revenue off that feat.
I would've been in the same camp of denying it and treating it as just a thing westerners exaggerate and to an extent that is the case. But at the same time caste discrimination is still very much a thing.

The way I've seen people in the west envision it is that everyone is keenly aware of their caste, where they are in society and what they're "allowed" to do. But it isn't that blatant to me, so I felt impressions of caste discrimination were overblown. I was raised to be caste-blind (literally wasn't taught the differences to be able to even subconsciously be biased) so I projected that upon everyone.

However as I've interacted with other Indians, I have noticed that our conversations tend to be very different. I don't really care about where they're from, barely care about their name beyond how to refer to them etc, mostly interested in what they do professionally and what they're interested in while their questions tend to focus on where I'm from and what my family history is.

My understanding is that my caste is fairly mundane so I haven't really noticed any discrimination towards myself, but I think I've atleast noticed that many people have a lot of interest in identifying the caste at least, which can obviously lead to discrimination pretty easily.

Considering most spending is through special interest groups on behalf or in favor or against certain candidates, the real and large funding is really hard to track. Especially when contributions will often go from a larger funding group to a smaller action committee, with obfuscated details... it's sickening and gross.

I'd really like to see all political funding only by individuals or organizations with open books, only able to receive funding from individuals or organizations with open books. If a corporate board/ceo wants contributions to be made, they can do it as individuals. It's definitely time for a constitutional amendment to eliminate corporate personhood.
First off define what is scrum for you

For me scrum is daily 10min meeting and that's it

and I like it, I don't have problem with one quick meeting to sync.

But when I hear stories about estimations in some imaginary units, then it sounds bad.
Think they are in the process of tearing down the WB one (christmas vacation, bewitched, partridge family, wandavision, etc) to make room for sound stages.

The universal one is unique if you know what to look for. It pops up in a lot of older TV shows. It is kind of neat to see it in twilight zone before they built some of it out.

There are quite a large number of vids on youtube where people go inside the buildings. Most end up being storage for stuff or setup areas for different productions.
Theres no fire's here, just me smoking, but I've already tried giving up smoking a long time ago and my zyban was swapped for what seems like chalk pills. Not the only med thats been tampered with, my anti biotics were stolen from my bedroom, and the risperidone was swapped for something that left me incapacitated in bed for hours every morning, which was totally different to the experience when locked up in a mental health ward.

The antibiotics were stolen in the hour or so it took for me to walk my dog and the only person in the house during this time was Lorraine Botwright https://www.lakenheath.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/...

I should add, from a very young age I've been drugged by my own parents and made to do stuff naked with what can only be described as something like scopolamine.

But you know the govt doesnt teach you what parents can and cant do to you, just like the legal system doesnt teach law to anyone either!

Makes me wonder who are the real criminals?

From the article:

> The mice in the study began to move peculiarly, and to exhibit behaviours reminiscent of dementia in humans

I know this is only _in mice_ but the policy we have of "let industry do what they want and if we find out it's harming humans in 30 years we'll do something about it" has not proven to work out so well in the past (lead, DDT, CFCs, cigarettes).
I was really hopeful for Stadia, too, and enjoyed playing on it for a while. But in the end, remoting from my own computer was better and faster.

Having you considered something like Parsec to do the same thing with your dad? I think it should do what you need. Steam's own Remote Play Together might do it, too.
This sounds like Korean men who can’t get a date. Given they’re blaming “Western-style feminism,” I see why.

Marriage rates in Korea are declining, as they are everywhere. But there is no evidence of increases in single men, other than in the uneducated and low-income group [1].

The caste system in India is layered like onions. The author says he was born as OBC (Other Backward Classes), but that's not the lowest in the overall scheme. SC (Scheduled Castes) are considered lower in the hierarchy. ST (Scheduled Tribes) are considered even lower (there are variations across states and regions, so please take this with a pinch of salt). While the atrocities and punishments by "upper" caste people on "lower" caste people continue, even OBCs oppress SCs and STs quite badly, sometimes along with other "upper" caste people and sometimes by themselves. [1] It's a sad fact that the oppressed themselves don't understand it well enough to avoid oppressing others. If they could get together and lift each other up, things could be very different (or at least not as bad as they have been and are).

[1]: Searching for news on atrocities and punishments on "dalits" would yield many results from as recent as a few days to long ago in the past.

>By your argument, LBRY the company could fold and people would continue to use LBRY tokens. Which is exactly what happened. So does that mean it wasn’t securities sales after all?

No, my argument is that the performance of the show is not directly linked to the price of the cards, among other things. LBC did not have continuing returns after the announcement that they were folding, and the theoretical use of the coins outside of investing is gone with the company. There's also the fact that there is no contract or common enterprise between purchasers of the cards and the makers of the Pokemon television series.

LBRY had other functions that made the coins look more like securities. For example, they used LBC as security for debt, they promoted it as an investment opportunity, they acknowledged its growth aligned with their company and they encouraged people to hold on to the coins so that they would appreciate in value despite new issuances. The entirety of the value of the coin was based on the performance of the company.

> the court explicitly stated that just because some people buy the cards for consumptive use doesn’t mean they all do.

Sure. Most people buy the cards for consumptive use, though. It's not a small number. Some people do invest in them as collectibles, but that doesn't make them a security.

> if some group were selling the same exact type of trading cards in the form of NFTs, and creating Telegram channels to promote them, creating all kinds of episodes featuring those characters, are they a “common enterprise?"

Do you mean the group that made them, sold them and promoted them? Sure - if a group of people made some products, marketed and sold them together then they would likely be acting in common enterprise. It could be a partnership, especially if they pooled their sales. That's not really what is happening with Pokemon cards, though. I'm not arguing that The Pokemon Company or Nintendo can't issue securities, I'm just saying the products they make and sell for consumptive purposes are not in themselves securities.
With the exception of using the Internet, I don't do any of those things, and the fact you think they're still common shows how out of touch you are with the current zeitgeist. Most tech folks are into BIFL, tend to keep phones for longer (and iPhones in particular have the longest supported service life of any smartphone on the market), and have eschewed crypto due to the scams. That's not to say all those things weren't true at some point, but we've seen a shift.

For many of these things, they're a form of status signalling. There's far more status in wearing organic, natural fiber fabrics, which are hand-made in an interesting but remote part of the world vs fast fashion from a mall made by child labor, similarly crypto scams have pretty much dirtied the look of bitcoin and others and most people have stopped involving themselves (or at least no longer talk about it).
I was thinking of PSD (the original one), but it turns out that only required end of next business day settlement.

No. I want kids but I don't want them until I can afford stable housing. And if that's hard for me as an overpaid tech worker, then I understand why most people are delaying kids or not having them at all. If most young people are still living with parents or roommates well into their 30's, then it's not a mystery why my generation isn't having kids. Nothing to do with 'life is so good kids aren't desirable anymore'.
I just cannot rationalize getting him any gaming equipment. He could manage Stadia, juuuust barely. He frequently cannot figure out his cell phone. He is basically a ludite. My mom had to stand there and turn Stadia on on the tablet for him... I was considering Shadow but it's just too complex too.
If you filed abuse tickets with the companies hosting 4chan, you should be able to get some response. The kiwifarms victims are demonstrating this is possible. There is hope for you. I wish you luck.
Microsoft politely changed the name of an Azure thingy that no one in the world cares about because its name conflicted with the name of a GNOME thingy that no one in the world cares about. The analogy with Nvidia's product line is imperfect.
Not a lawyer - just a guy in this space who also has a lifelong passion for hip-hop/rap/pop.

This case is relevant[0]. I think there is a pretty strong argument that just about anything these models spit out is what the music industry would call a "sample" or "remix" that requires clearance and royalties.

> I would love to ditch Windows and go to Linux for gaming but as good as proton is. I value being able to play my games without hassle more.

I play all my games on Linux via proton without hassle. I made the switch 2 years ago and haven’t run into any major issues. At one point, I was playing Elden Ring hassle-free while my friends playing on Windows faced stuttering issues. I am unable to play sim-racing in VR because iRacing uses a Linux-hostile anti-cheat, but that’s the only time I’ve had an issue. Personally, I’m fine avoiding anti-cheat because I don’t like how it interacts with my personal device. Currently, I am playing Baldur’s Gate 3 on ultra settings, and it has worked phenomenally since day one.

Overall, I would say my gaming experience is surprisingly better on Linux than it was on Windows, and I’m absolutely shocked that’s the case.
I usually wireguard through home to keep public wifi from sniffing, as well as so my phone can use my pihole for dns instead of the mobile network's dns.
It's not that they will bust up the roads more than other diesel semis. Electric semis already carry less cargo than their fossil fuel counterparts because there are weight limits to what trucks are allowed to legally transport (that is, total vehicle weight must not exceed certain figures). This is why truck scales exist - they audit that truck drivers are not breaking the law and destroying the roads more than they are allowed to.

The battery in an electric semi increases the weight of the vehicle while empty, and if this tax merely taxes empty vehicle weight it will disproportionately hit electric semis - effectively making them infeasible to further develop.
But it’s not free. It’s some price included by manufacturers.

And I bought a copy at retail (for $120) because it was easier than going through their “you changed the hard drive and now have to find the key from years ago.” And it does the same thing.
Lilac: Analyze, structure, and clean unstructured data with AI
I remember "JavaScript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford touched some parts in depth.

Also "You Don't Know JS Yet" has some depth in it
https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
Lilac co-creator here :)

Lilac is an open-source tool that enables AI practitioners to see and quantify their datasets.

Lilac allows users to:

- Browse datasets with unstructured data.

- Enrich unstructured fields with structured metadata using Lilac Signals, for instance near-duplicate and personal information detection. Structured metadata allows us to compute statistics, find problematic slices, and eventually measure changes over time.

- Create and refine Lilac Concepts which are customizable AI models that can be used to find and score text that matches a concept you may have in your mind.

- Download the results of the enrichment for downstream applications.

Out of the box, Lilac comes with a set of generally useful Signals and Concepts, however this list is not exhaustive and we will continue to work with the OSS community to continue to add more useful enrichments.

> it would be in the news

No, left or right, this is not the merit of truth. Fox News, MSNBC, and anything in between. If you haven't heard the litany of problems with natural origin, you're in the exact same bubble as fox news but on the opposite side, you're pretty much making fun of yourself.

Is the US government DNI, under a Democrat Administration, "only on fox news?"

https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Declass...

"the IC remains divided on the
most likely origin of COVID-19. All agencies assess that two hypotheses are plausible: natural exposure to an
infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident.

Four IC elements and the National Intelligence Council assess with low confidence that the initial SARS-CoV-2
infection was most likely caused by natural exposure to an animal infected with it or a close progenitor virus—a
virus that probably would be more than 99 percent similar to SARS-CoV-2. These analysts give weight to
China’s officials’ lack of foreknowledge, the numerous vectors for natural exposure, and other factors.

One IC element assesses with moderate confidence that the first human infection with SARS-CoV-2 most
likely was the result of a laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal
handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. These analysts give weight to the inherently risky
nature of work on coronaviruses.

Analysts at three IC elements remain unable to coalesce around either explanation without additional
information, with some analysts favoring natural origin, others a laboratory origin, and some seeing the
hypotheses as equally likely.

Variations in analytic views largely stem from differences in how agencies weigh intelligence reporting and
scientific publications and intelligence and scientific gaps."
I can't see the old one in the link you sent, only seemingly new.
True, but most developed nations have easy access to IVF and/or other conception medical services.

Another question might be...what % of couples can get pregnant without artificial means? And how is that changing over time?

For perspective there are estimates out there that IVF will be involved in 10% of pregnancies in the near future. Some of that is it getting better, cheaper, and more accessible obviously...but we are talking about something (pregnancy) that's technically "free".

It's in the middle of the article:

> Another economic factor in the falling birthrate is the rising price of real estate and a resulting increase in unmarried or late-marrying people. The tradition in Korea is for men to prepare a family home before marrying, and the rising cost of housing in recent years has thereby triggered a decline in marriage rates. The Bank of Korea recently enacted emergency interest rate hikes that brought down the price of condominiums, but the interest rate on mortgages has risen, keeping home ownership a distant dream for many.
I'm reminded of Ben's question about the shamble-men in The Name of the Wind [0]. It doesn't particularly matter whether people are disappearing because of shamble-men or because of bears and wolves, if people are regularly disappearing in the woods then you'd do well to steer clear of them.

In the same way, I don't particularly care if Scrum fails because people consistently fail to implement it "right" or if it fails because it's a flawed concept at its heart. Either way, odds are that my team will suffer if we introduce Scrum: if Scrum isn't fundamentally flawed, it's still hubris to assume that we'll be the team that finally gets it right.

Correct.

This is also why hyperthreading yields a benefit for sparse/graph workloads. I was getting good results on the KNL Xeon Phi with its four hyperthreads.
But you easily hit the 'outstanding loads' limit if your hyperthreads all do gather instructions every 4-8 instructions. The architecture needs to balanced around it.
