This is a good point. The government started investing in spaceflight because it was seen as important to defense. In the early 1960's, the best plan for spy satellites were manned space stations (see the planned Manned Orbital Laboratory). But as time progressed, we saw that we were much better off using automated systems for space. Yet we had already started manned missions, so those just kept shambling on, even long after the reason for them no longer existed.
I think part of the disconnect is that that what you're calling an "async closure" is more directly an analog of a "regular" function that happens to return a future rather than an "async fn" declared function; you'd need similar syntactic boilerplate for annotating a function that's not declared as "async". Currently, there is no closure version of an "async fn" in Rust, but it's arguably not particularly necessary because you can use a Future as the async version of a closure in a lot of cases due to them being lazy already. For example, spawning a task with tokio just takes a Future, not a closure like spawning a sync thread.
Based on the long history of taking complete nonsense very seriously in forensics, I'd say the odds are pretty good that it'll be taken way too seriously, at least for other AI systems, but perhaps not specifically plagiarism detectors if a large chunk of the jury has personal experience fighting with overzealous anticheat crapware at school.
Ooops! Clearly a typo :-)

I've fixed it, the cached version should expire shortly.
At a big company, unless you have some serious lubrication, the first 12-18 months are spent landing. Usually you have to land your big changes in a planning cycle which are usually 6-12 months. This often means, for your first ~2 years, you're not able to do much.

That, plus the lost years of productivity during COVID -- I'd say it's okay to forgive for not turning the ship.
> I think it's unfair to compare Facebook ... to Apple

They aren't?

They're saying Meta is screwing us and that Apple could do more to protect us. That they spend a lot of time and money talking the talk but they don't so much walk the walk. They sure do a bit, but they could do a lot more. Article definitely isn't saying Apple is as bad as Meta and Meta is 100% the "bad guy" in the story. It's just that our castle walls (Apple) are shiny but not strong. The Great Wall isn't so great if it isn't keeping the Mongolians out and you definitely shouldn't be advertising it as such when it doesn't.
Note to self: if I ever spot an SOS from a plane, first take note of the exact time.

Edit: actually as below commenter points out, better yet, take a video. Are modern phones able to also capture the compass direction of the shot in metadata?
web proxies aren't traditional proxies. They have a web interface and issue requests on behalf of the user server side, so all of the user's data flows through the user interface and the server side in plain text (though protected by the HTTPS of the web proxy itself). This is fine if you 100% trust the web proxy, but a malicious web proxy operator could easily look at all your data.
Congrats! Your blog post paints a very compelling value proposition for simpler, all-in-one (yet extensible) software. I find I'm more compelled these days by "batteries included" software than "bring your own everything", so I'm excited to try this out.

It reminds me as a runtime version of Rome tools, which had a similar goal (replace a bunch of software with a single faster one). It went under and has [transition to OSS under a new team](https://biomejs.dev/blog/annoucing-biome). I hope you find more success than they did! It's certainly a hard problem to solve.
Looks sweet. The closest to that idea is the Clockwork DevTerm, which has a CM4-compatible carrier.

I’d appreciate, however, a bigger screen.
> This isnʼt the typical narrative we hear about new discoveries and technologies. We tend to think of them emerging as soon as they’re technically possible.

I don't know where this narrative comes from, but it can't really come from anybody who specializes in making brand new technologies.

There are soooooo many amazing technologies that have never been brought to market because of the roadblocks like this vaccine encountered.

It's even amazing that mRNA vaccines actually made it to the market, and if it hadn't been for the pandemic, there's a good chance that it would be another 15 years before they do, and this mRNA vaccination tech has been brewing since the 90s, I think? Years before the pandemic, I knew of Moderna and BioNTech because they had the capability to make customized therapeutic vaccines to train a person's immune system to fight their particular cancer's unique neoantigens. The hurdles seemed somewhat enormous even then for them. Without the kick start of money and trials that the pandemic provided, it would have taken so many more years to do the discovery needed.

The problem is that we have a massive unexplored terrain in R&D and trivial amounts of funds compared to the area we can explore. We have to be extremely picky about what gets money to move forward. This is a social problem, as much as a finance problem, we simply use dollars to express our societal wishes of what we want to encourage.

In the mean time, it would be good if the media would stop spreading the idea that if you build a better mouse trap, the word will bear a path to your door. It's quite the opposite.
That was over justified problems of transphobia, and not nearly the same scale of reaction. I also wouldn't really call a compilation of stand up sessions to be a movie, though that is neither here nor there.

I can't actually think of any films that attracted the same foaming at the mouth as you see by conservatives.
I am very happy someone finally addressed the concerns, and kudos for breaking out of the anti-gc zealotry.
Same here. I hit "run" but get an error
I think we would be better off wiping out the disease carrying species of mosquitoes. Not only would you get rid of malaria, you would also get rid of a lot of other mosquito borne diseases.
I don't suppose this can cope with Node-RED yet?
While far left violence is currently a smaller problem in Germany than far right violence, it certainly exists.

This article [1] claims that there were 399 reported assaults associated with left-wing extremists, compared to 1013 associated with right-wing extremists.

Edit: and when it comes to property damage and arson, the far left is worse than the far right by about 3:1 [2]. This may be particularily relevant for companies who want to start new businesses.

To my knowledge, that's not true (at least for Elixir), and that's not what your source says, either. So long as you wrap your case arguments into a tuple, you can have the same level of complexity in either.
easy fix: just make a std::constexpr_string

I might have liked 1493 even more than 1491, personally.
Short term rentals have made a significant contribution to lack of affordable housing, especially in areas that are desirable tourist locations.

Espcially since the number of short term rentals owned by companies specifically for that purpose have increased.

So, I'm not a fan of corps being allowed to turn residential neighborhoods into hotels.

In spite of feeling like major regulatory reform is needed, I'm finding it hard to understand the point of som eof the NYC restrictions.

"No door in the unit can be locked"? <-- What is that supposed to accomplish?

You're not allowed to keep renters out of utility closets? or a room where you store your personal articles while out of town and renting the unit?

I think it wold really be more effective to regulate the density of short term rentals, and the ownsership of property specifically for the purpose of short term rental (although this might be hard to specify well).
It is the same in some digital newspapers. It is also harder to block them as ads.
So called ”sponsored” articles.
It was to show that we had a lot of users in Asia, yet none of them were using our servers in Asia.

Have you looked at the statistics on how ALJs rule, and how long they take to do it? The “administrative law” system is extremely Kafka-esque.
I’ve seen some confluence installations where you’d have to wait 30 seconds to browse a page, I’ve seen others that were pretty snappy. If you treat something like that as some unimportant internal application that is worthy of a 10 year old server or the cheapest VM you can find at Amazon performance will be crappy, that is for sure.
Microsoft's officially reported carbon numbers don't include the impact of their software on devices sold by other OEMs.

This is a gray area of the GHG protocol on how to account for SW carbon emissions; some companies count it some don't.

There are ads in the Apple News app that are the same kind of garbage you'd see on Google ads.
3rd party libraries provide that functionality, and do it with higher performance than in any other another language
Yeah, there obviously are some people who are outliers in this regard, but I don't think that's an argument that humans in general are good at this. There are people who can perform complex arithmetic in their head or even eat airplanes one piece at a time[1], but overall I'd still classify humans as "not great" at those tasks.

Prototyping is fun but over fast - most programs spend much more time in the "maintenance" phase. Code is generally read more than it's written. Types make all that boring stuff safer and easier!
When I went to Namibia recently, which had some new cases of malaria, I was given "Malarone", an oral pill taken a couple days before, and each day during, and a couple days after. Luckily, I didn't see any mosquitos at all, the main vehicle for malaria.
I'm curious what things you consider to be half-baked about Rust async.

I've used Rust async extensively for years, and I consider it to be the cleanest and most well designed async system out of any language (and yes, I have used many languages besides Rust).
This is the sort of thing that should tell people there are no such thing as miracles, just luck.
Yes, but I believe there are two questions here:

* Does the model itself violate copyright?
* Does the output of the model violate copyright?

I don't know how you could make an argument that the ingestion of information into a model through a training procedure in order to create something that can generate truly unique outputs isn't transformative of the original works. The legal standard for a new work to be considered a copyright violation of an original work is "substantial similarity". I don't know how you can make an argument that a generative model is "substantially similar" to thousands of original works...

Honestly, I'm not even sure if "fair use" comes into play for the model itself. In order for fair use to come into play, the model has to be deemed to be violating some copyright. Only once it is found to be violating does "fair use" come into play in order to figure out if it is illegal or not.

The second question is the one where fair use is likely to come into play more. And this question has to be asked of each output. The model's legality only becomes an issue here if, like Napster, you can't argue that the model has much point other than violating copyright. Napster didn't violate copyright (the code for Napster wasn't infringing on anything), but it enabled the violation of copyright and didn't have much point other than that.

I don't think you can make that argument though. I use ChatGPT most days, and I've never gotten copyrighted material out of it. I could ask it to write me some Disney fan fiction, which would violate a copyright. And I think there is a valid legal question here about who is responsible for preventing me from doing that. This is where I think the gray area is.
Author here. I confirm that OPNSense was vulnerable. It has been fixed in v23.7.1 (August 8, 2023): https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=35298.0

We haven't tested pfSense, but I suppose that they are vulnerable too as they use `pf` and they are FreeBSD-based.
I don't think that's true in general because each of these end-user routers have their own sharp edges. IPv4 consumer routers have a DMZ option which would, for at least 1 device, be the same as taking down your stateful firewall. Also, thankfully, in all of the examples I've seen in the wild, the stateful firewall was just on by default, much as NAT is on by default. In both cases you are taking steps to compromise your own security, that most people won't bother to do.

Finally, the risk to an individual machine 'loose on the internet' is lower than its ever been because Windows has for years enabled a firewall by default on its own, and macOS doesn't expose any open ports by default either. That does leave printers, IoT devices, and the like, but now we're really pretty far into the weeds of lots of non-default customization combined with individual CVEs in non-computing hardware.
Interesting observation, though there's an explanation which suggests itself.

Under Soviet Bloc regimes, propaganda was an instrument of the state, and was emitted through state organs, such as Pravda and Isvestia, Russian for "truth" and "news", leading to the Soviet-era ironic quip: there is no truth in Pravda and no news in Isvestia.

<https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/31/world/russia-s-purveyor-o...>

That is, the principle mechanism for avoiding propaganda was to ignore the "mainstream press" under such regimes. Which would suggest putting more faith in alternative sources and the rumour / gossip channel.

Whilst there remain issues with mainstream media, even in non-authoritarian states, it's far more often the alternative media and (largely online) gossip channels which now serve propaganda. This is a case where previously-useful adaptations now prove poor guides.
This might work now. It didn't in v0.5.x and earlier. We added proper CommonJS support and that means sloppy-mode features that Node-RED relies on should work just fine.
How about the fact that half the RFCs you were supposed to implement 20 years ago have been superseded by RFCs saying do not implement?
I think they're more concerned that Apple is moving parts of manufacturing out of China.
They are, but they also must be encrypted n separate times where n is the number of signed in devices.

Mac
iPad
iPhone
Recovery Key

Each of the above would have a separate uniquely encrypted device backup key as a result of the derivation function. I can change the password on any of those (or regenerate the recovery key) without a full iCloud re-encryption or duplication of my iCloud data - therefore Apple must be holding a key in escrow that is the actual decryption key. One would assume it's that key that is encrypted against the derivation function, as then it could still be credibly argued as end-to-end, but that's just an assumption I'm making.
Sounds like the rosy predictions by past futurists that the invention of television would be used only for broadcast of educational programming and culturally uplifting material, resulting in a vastly more enlightened and knowledgeable public. Needless to say, that wasn't how things turned out.
The last time I had my taxes professionally done it was over $300, and that was 3 years ago now.
The Case for Brick Thermal Storage
Sounds like a great setup.

Huge models are running on stock laptops. There is no need to send it to cloud. They had no problem e.g. sound recognition (reacting to alarms, cough, cry etc.) running only on selected devices. IPads have M1/M2 chips. And home assistant model does not need detailed understanding of neuroscience, best haskell patterns etc.

But all transformers development is pretty fresh corpo-wise. I think having a good safe dataset, which is not infringing any copyrights etc. is really hard. And they probably have to be very careful about it since it's not "only" about getting sued, but also potentially damaging partnerships they need for tv/books/music.

Btw have you tried some locally running models instead of GPT-4 for your automation? I don't want my HA touching the Internet unless necessary for 3rd party integrations but GPT-4 sets bar pretty high.
I think it's probably just the fact that the IPv4 stack has just received a lot more hardening because it's deployed everywhere (by necessity)... and IPv4 has had a 15+ years lead over IPv6 on that whole hardening thing because it came later and a time where IPv4 was already pretty well established.
I spent a summer working in a hardware store up in Fairbanks, and my host/landlord decided to take me up to the Arctic Circle in his CJsomething Jeep. We were only a few miles up from the Circle when we kicked up a rock that punctured our oil pan. Thankfully, we were less than a mile from the last service station before the Arctic Circle, so we hitched a ride from a passing truck, and bought a bunch of oil and duct tape and just kept feeding the engine oil every few miles until we got back to Fairbanks.

Never did make it up to the Arctic Circle, though.

I would argue that it is better, but not as much better as Firefox. The further you can get away from Google Chrome the better, but any distance is beneficial.
Sorry, it's not. Modern spam filtering requires a lot of training data. Most spam that I would get - would easily bypass any small scale spam filtering operation.

My SpamAssasin 10 years ago would flag too many legitimate emails... while allowing genuine spam. The amount of crap I would get to my personal email was so bad, that I just switched to GMail for the simplicity.

It's just not worth the effort. Like it's just not worth the effort in investing into a decentralized social network at this point.

Maybe if the spam filtering protocols were public, trainable on all of the data(which isn't going to happen on a privacy focused network, ever), objectively efficient at catching spam... and runnable on even RaspberryPi 3 - you're just going to get spammed out of existence.
I will say yes, because it makes me feel pleasant.
Show HN: New AI Dataset Based on LibGen and Sci-Hub
We recently began extracting the text layers of scholarly publications and books to include in our database. This encompasses sources such as scimag, libgen, and the latest zlib leaks. Our project, named the Standard Template Construct, also features a distributed search engine and incorporates various AI routines to handle the text corpus.

Today we have releases our first dataset, STC230908. This dataset contains approximately 75,000 book texts, 1.3 million scholarly paper texts, and 24 million abstracts, including the years from 2021 to 2023.

We're currently in the process of preparing the next version of the dataset, which will include an additional 300,000 books.

How to Access

Short Instructions:

Install IPFS and launch it.
pip3 install stc-geck && geck - documents
More details: the dataset is released in IPFS and replicated to multiple nodes. It is in format of database for the search engine that we use in STC. GECK is the library that embeds this search engine and allows to stream all contained data in easy way.

Even more detailed Instructions: https://github.com/nexus-stc/stc/tree/master/geck
> No door in the unit can be locked

It prevents sequestering a room or rooms from other rooms, similar to how some units in hotels have doors connecting them that can be locked.
You seem to raise valid points and I don't disagree with you, however I don't see how it's relevant to the original concern regarding colored functions.
There are attempts to do exactly this where certain types of mosquitos are given something that makes them impotent after some number of generations. It can create other issues, though, in regards to the disruption of that part of the food chain.

This is from memory from a few years ago and I don't have a source on hand.
Sure. It is still unambiguously a good thing in principle.

There will probably be attempts at watering down the proposal or leave loopholes for greenwashing. But the simple fact that these things get discussed and that major companies move to the right direction is a form of progress in itself.
> if you could take a pill to make you instantly a millionaire, my guess is you would go that route versus willpower any day of the week.

You are vastly underestimating the amount of people who don't believe in silver bullets or miracle pills, and you are certainly showing some (willful?) ignorance of all the history of drugs who got into the market and showed side-effects long after its introduction in the market.
I don't see why not. 1.0 would mean the API isn't changing. And they can certainly swap out the language and still keep the API the same.
>sidestepping the right wing alarmism and outrage by making it optional.

Glad to hear it. The main thing I've learned is to just start, building and marketing, talking to customers, etc. I used to read a lot of books and watch a lot of videos on the topic of startups and micro-SaaS but it obviously doesn't spontaneously generate a profitable startup just because we read about them.
Because it's all just types, there's nothing _to_ run. Instead, you'll want to hover your cursor over the `PGunX` types at the end of the file in the playground; this will cause the TS editor to compute that type and it should display a string corresponding to the board state.
FYI, most loyalty programs you can sign up for without giving any information if you're willing to use a card. If you aren't, usually they accept invalid or random phone numbers.

Of course this isn't a solution and we should resolve the issue, but it is at least a partial stop gap.
The way you used it in your parent comment didn't make it clear that you were using it properly, hence my clarification. I'm honestly still not sure you've got it right, because Rust abstractions, in general, are not zero-cost. Rust has some zero-cost abstractions in the standard library and Rust has made choices, like monomorphization for generics, that make writing zero-cost abstractions easier and more common in the ecosystem. But there's nothing in the language or compiler that forces all abstractions written in Rust to be free of extra runtime costs.
This is superb! I would love to be able to share/link to an individual post's summary in future!
