A wire will cause the air around it to assume the same potential, ie the same as air that is low to the ground. If you are 6" above the top of the wire, the voltage to ground will be the same as 6" above the ground. Note that the wire could be made of anything even slightly conductive, because it just needs to be ~10x better than air. The plant already causes the potential to be zeroed out, just like a human body: https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_09.html

Using copper allows you to absorb low frequency radiation like FM radio. Note that you aren't blocking it to any significant degree, since it's just one wire and not a cage. It also isn't causing any voltage on the plant since it's just being absorbed by the wire.
while this methodology makes sense, it's hard to get the thought out of my head of the Tesla self driving car intentionally not deploying the airbag because it will bring down it's stats
Given how many "deleted" posts recently resurfaced, you are in fact not free to delete your content, because it won't be deleted, just hidden.
I can't upvote this enough. I don't know why people clutch their pearls so hard when they find out the free app they are using is trying to monetize their content. I'd actually be critical of X if they didn't do this.

There's plenty of places where you can pay a nominal free to have your data 100% controlled by you alone. Plus, you can still use X, Insta or whatever to drive traffic to your site. Its not that hard folks!
"Science" (scientists) studies the physical realm almost exclusively, and where it does venture somewhat into the metaphysical, it brings a lot of baggage that works excellently in the physical realm, but is often detrimental in the metaphysical. Plenty of scientists, I'd bet money even most, find[1] metaphysics to be ~silly...except of course when they are whining about it (politics, economics, society, etc..."the real world").

[1] The context, or set and setting, makes a big difference in how they will behave. But the range of behavior is actually pretty simple, far simpler than much of the programming problems we breeze through on a daily basis, without even thinking twice about it. I'd say the problem isn't so much that it's hard, it's more so that it is highly counterintuitive, a lot like Einstein's relativity when first encountered (or even after understood).

I disagree that everyone across the political spectrum agrees on this: Thin Blue Liners have considerable sway over politics, and they're happily on the take.
When I was in California in the 90s, all the mental institutions allowed inmates to smoke. Basically whenever they wanted, they could go get a nicotine fix. Now, there was absolutely no caffeine allowed anywhere; all our drinks were decaf. So the only stimulant available was gross stinky tobacco smoke. I hated it. Inmates would come back inside with their clothes and bodies stinking, and we were in close quarters in an enclosed space.

I never understand why they allowed everyone to smoke as much as possible. It seemed detrimental to the drug regimens they put people on, and counterproductive, considering nicotine's nature as a stimulant. I noticed that since I moved here in recent years, there has been no opportunity for inmates to smoke. I can't recall the caffeine policies, though.

Technically, not deleting your data would be a GDPR violation of the right to be forgotten. They could be ignoring that but it would be very expensive if they were found out. Probably doesn't apply to models that have already been trained, but should apply effectively going forward.
X wants your biometric data, your job history, and your education history for 'safety, security, and identification purposes'.

Those items along with your posts and social network will be used for advertising, monetization, tracking, selling services to government agencies, and training their machine learning bots.

Not for your benefit, but for X's uses and benefits. You are the product and X wants to sell your info and attention so Elon can earn his money back.
So, PHP + AJAX is back.
Sweet. So, if I don’t log in ever again, or otherwise don’t agree to the new terms, they’ll delete my account for me?
That helps, but individual boycotts/market actions can't easily overcome the momentum of preferential attachment because brands are not fungible. Market evangelists/absolutists often rely on naive models of supply and demand, but forget that those models only work under conditions of perfect competition. This means ignoring the many many factors that contribute to inelastic demand like the cost of switching, the lack of ToS clarity, sunk costs, and prior network effects. There are plenty of people who hate Twitter but can't disengage from it because that's where most of their clicks are coming from.

Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m a senior software engineer with about a decade of industry experience over a diverse array of languages and technologies. My areas of interest include machine learning, optimization, and complex systems architecture. I particularly enjoy working with functional languages and am always interested in opportunities to solve difficult problems and really push my boundaries.

I’m also passionate about building healthy, functional teams who can focus on building the right things quickly.

I’m self-taught and my degree is in philosophy, which I like to think honed my ability to distill complex requirements into simple concepts and to communicate well with technical and non-technical folk alike.

I like to unwind by indulging in my hobbies of hand-tool woodworking or music production. It’s another way I enjoy solving problems, albeit in a very different context. Always looking to learn and grow, so I relish the idea of being the least experienced person in the room - it means I’m in the right place :)

>Though oral health issues can affect overall health, the two are considered unrelated and are frequently addressed separately when it comes to treatment.

A big input for what defines "bad" is excessive speeding. Going 75 in a 45 is excessive speeding.

It could serve as a parable you'd tell a junior engineer interested writing algorithms that get applied to people's livelihood. Beware your own hubris, demonstrate or simulate results and show them to all stakeholders like the union, do controlled rollouts (why not start with 1 region in the country?), verify inputs that could be untrustworthy. Basically all the usual lessons one learns the first time they write an algo for people and it blows up in their face embarrassingly.
I think that unless you can clearly show that an "AI" is not a form of compression, the question of copyright is orthogonal. The copyrights that apply to a zip file may be ill-defined concepts to you, but it's not really important to the core question which is: how are model weights different from a zip file? If you put unambiguously copyrighted content into a zip file, most people would agree that the copyright applies to the zip file. So by analogy if you put copyrighted content into model weights, the copyright applies to the model weights. Issues such as what constitutes fair use comes up, but fair use is permissible copyright infringement, not absence of copyright. And that's where the question of how lossy a compression algorithm has to be to be considered "fair use". In all likelihood it's the specifics of the use itself (rather than technology or method details used) that matters.
Pentagon Unveils New Website for Reporting (and Learning About) UFOs
It’s less bad than losing everything.

For example. Let’s say the movie costs $100 to make. And they value the movie at $100 based on future sales. And they have $1000 in profit from other stuff they do.

So the cost of$100 and value of $100 offset each other so they pay taxes on the full $1000. Tax rate is 21% so they pay $210 and keep $790.

But if they write off the value to zero that means they have a $100 loss. So you subtract that from the $1000 of profits and pay taxes on $900. Thats $189 in taxes. You subtract that from $1000 and keep $811.

So if they don’t write it off in scenario1 they keep $790, but if they write it off they keep 811.

They still spent $100 and made nothing so that’s bad. But they are able to keep an extra $21 so really only lose $79.

Losing $79 is less bad than losing $100.
Isn't the idea with traits that you can pass in anything you want that implements the trait?

I think a larger problem here is that the function takes Settings and not a &Vec Option<&Vec>, that way you'd notice immediately.

Or you split the code and add type constraints:

struct ClientIdentifier {}

struct Settings {
allow_list: Vec<ClientIdentifier>
}

struct Settings2 {
allow_list: Option<Vec<ClientIdentifier>>
}

fn allow_list_count(settings: Settings) -> usize {
// clear you're iterating over a slice
let iter: std::slice::Iter<'_, _> = settings.allow_list.iter();
// and the count is len
iter.count()
}

fn allow_list_count_2(settings: Settings2) -> usize {
// clear that you're iterating over Option<T>
let iter: std::option::Iter<'_, _> = settings.allow_list.iter();
// which is 0 (None) or 1 (Some(T))
iter.count()
}

I still don't understand why people believe that you can have any expectation in these ludicrous scenarios.

Like, you are dropping a general purpose computer into the middle of Russia, expect to be able to command it remotely to do anything, even remotely update it and reboot it; and at the same time never bother to come check it up in person or even have minimum chassis intrussion detection. Do people really expect this to work just by adding some TPM craziness?

I could get behind this idea. Open Compute has a 48 volt rack specification, negative 48V is common in telecom since forever, PoE standards use roughly 48V, and 48V is at the upper limit of what's often considered "safe" by various standards and many (but not all) regulatory bodies across the world.

What hurts 48V adoption is typically component cost. In the past there was a large price jump between 12V and 48V-60V capable circuits, with a lot of competition and demand at 24V from industrial stuff but less at 48V.
Part of the problem is the huge ratios of 10x-50x between the voltages and the idea that the semiconductor switching elements have to be able to handle the peak voltages encountered in the system.
In order to realize a 48V system at minimum cost you kind of need a flyback style power converter, leaning on a transformer's winding ratio to help. Dealing with custom magnetics sucks and engineers have in the past related to me how much they try to avoid dealing with magnetics. The frequency you want to use is high and this makes the magnetics smaller but increases the stress on the switching element (MOSFETs). The power you get off a flyback-buck like this can be a little noisy if not postregulated so you might need clever tricks to regulate it better to reduce that in the first place.
I have noticed that high powered PoE adoption and lithium battery pack demand (like for electric bikes etc) is driving some of the costs on these things down a bit.
its best to wait and see, but their strategy seems to hold water.

think about it, emulated GPU´s are an approximation of the output, like "mathematically inexact" output pixels, even through perceptually they are as good and often better than the original.

even if you just draw a textured triangle, the texture sampling quality/output varies from different gpu families (even from the same vendor), so "drawing and testing against the framebuffer" is a somewhat strong check to see if the gpu is an tegra X1.

game code that renders using a shader and checks for the precise expected outputs in the framebuffer will fail in emulators (unless the thing is cycle accurate and has no enhancements!), so the games might need to be cracked.

and cracking/bypassing denuvo is a pain in the ass.

what this probably wont solve or seems to be tackling is switch piracy on real switch hardware.
But you don't get it. No registration is necessary. All an attacker needs is access to the authoritative DNS servers. They can get a delegation or insert their own resource records. Why go through a registry and give up a credit card and personal details?

Ethereum’s recent move to Proof of Stake undermines the their ability to be decentralized and permission-less. If a validator adds a blacklisted transaction, they will be slashed [0].

Ethereum had an unfair issuance. That means the founders kept a pool of coins for themselves and have unfair control of the network, furthered by PoS.

Ethereum is effectively a private tech company led by a CEO. They have a public roadmap.

Ultimately I think these fundamental properties of Ethereum make it inadequate as a permission-less money protocol. It works great for games and apps, but its foundations are susceptible to coercion and control - and you can’t build a permission-less protocol on that foundation.
