And there it is.

I suppose having your kernel command line signed by Canonical and unmodifiable by the system owner without a pain-in-the-ass manual 'machine owner key enrolment' process is very much on-brand for Snap.
>Currently out poor have it better than kings 200 years ago.
(At least in Germany)

Only if you look at medical and technical advancements, but objectively, kings in Germany had the amount of land and real estate that the modern German can only dream of.

Sure, we have iPhones and Netflix which kings didn't have, but they had the valuable apprecaible assets the we don't have.
I don't do anything sketchy online, but I use a VPN for the same reason I use HTTPS rather than HTTP, ssh rather than telnet, BTC/XMR rather than my credit card (when possible), and LUKS FDE rather than nothing. I value my privacy, and I want to fight the false perception that privacy-enhancing tools are only for shady usage by shady people.

Use a VPN for the same reason you close the stall door in a public restroom.

(I'm not necessarily agreeing with your premise that VPN usage has recently grown; I don't know that to be the case.)

Interesting lore, thanks.

I'm not complaining, glad there's more tools for searching outside the scope of SEO spam or content mills, and competition can only make the niche better (presumably, unless it gets big enough to incentivize disguising commercial content as niche blogs). Just felt like it might be a bit disingenuous to quote a blog list as inspiration for a search engine focused on "the non-commercial part of the web" which is exactly your engine's aim and wording, didn't know they've been working on small web initiatives since a similar timeline.

Hopefully you both find success and with it uplift hobbyist websites.
The US government produces reports that show average income for degrees offered by institution by field of study. You can find it here: https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/data

You can check the average earning ten years post graduation and construct an estimate of life time earnings while also factoring in the 4 or 5 years of tuition and fees it requires to get on that path.

Then take the data from the census and/or BLS for earnings for high school graduates (https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat07.htm) and extrapolate a lifetime earnings.

You will find that while there are some outliers, most colleges give you a higher lifetime earnings.

Benefits like healthcare aside as a gross simplification, this chart will tell you the same (https://www.bls.gov/emp/chart-unemployment-earnings-educatio...)

- high school: 45k/year for 47 years --> $2.1m lifetime

- undergrad: 75k average for 43 years --> 3.2m lifetime

Now we can subtract the cost of a 5 year state university degree. Let's take NY as an example. (https://www.suny.edu/smarttrack/tuition-and-fees/) of 9k per year net on average.

- undergrad: 75k average --> 3.2m - 0.045m --> 3.2m lifetime

On average university graduates come out 50% ahead (more than a million in lifetime earnings) of those with just a high school degree.

There's a fair amount of FUD tossed around in sponsored ad reads of a lot of independent creator content these days, so much now that the colloquial use of "VPN" these days for the masses is not "allow me to gain access to a network I control from anywhere" but "help me route my traffic to a specific geolocation".

Half truths are spouted about "securing your connection" and "preventing tracking" are provided, without the supplementary information that device and browser fingerprinting do more to identify you as a user than geolocation does. With HTTPS, traffic is already encrypted, and any DNS-over-HTTPS or TLS provider will also mask where you were headed to, leaving much of the supposed benefits to be mostly snake oil.

If, however, you want to use it to access geofenced content, or you employ an obscurity-in-depth strategy to anonymize your identity, then sure, go ham. But as to why usage has exploded by the masses, a healthy dose of paranoia and influencer marketing.

In a vacuum, what you say is true. But, you exist in a society with others. As such, disagreements occur. Sorting this out is an issue.

You are just one voice. Take a moment to image a world filled with people exactly the same as you, carbon copies.

- MicroStrategy

These companies have most enshittified products than most other companies, so it is not the VC money that leads to it.

Litigation is about more than the legal argument alone, and the legal arguments often turn on specific facts that may seem general on casual inspection. Other factors to consider include cost, embarrassing facts that may emerge during discovery, and reputational damage. That's why cases are often settled on the eve of trial, sometimes for significant sums.

Getting a professional opinion on the options is generally better than just making assumptions. Copycats and rip-offs are a fact of life, but that doesn't mean they should enjoy free reign. It's not that I think litigation is better than execution, but people exclusively advocating the latter are expressing an opinion about how they think things should work in a perfect world while not having any assets of their own on the line.

This case is a good example of the limits -- it's been held that once USCG begins an operation, they fall under "good Samaritan" requirements, which means (roughly) that they can't make things worse; and, if things get worse, a FTCA suit could force them to demonstrate they followed through without negligent acts or omission based on their existing practices, with due deference to the right USCG has to make reasonable discretionary decisions. (I don't have any case cites at hand, but IIRC USCG has lost a couple after calling off searches early or issuing confusing notices to private vessels also engaged in searches.)

Whether this would apply to the instant case is arguable, but turns mostly on the definition of when the duty of care kicks in (I think there's a decently-strong case to be made that once they stopped the "vessel," they pretty much didn't have an option to let it go). Interestingly, while SCOTUS has steadily limited government duty of care, this hasn't extended as much to conditions of public hazards where the police or government has specific knowledge of the risks: a cop doesn't have to charge into a school shooting situation to save your child, but there are conditions where, if they fail to correct a traffic hazard they had knowledge of and control over, you would have a case if you were injured. Hazards at sea are probably more similar to the latter case than the former.

It's worth noting that USCG doesn't have any statutory mandate to rescue anyone (their duties enumerated in 14 USC §102 say nothing about saving distressed mariners), so your fundamental point is correct: for example, if someone had called in "crazy guy in hamster wheel out at sea," USCG could likely decide "not my sea monkey, not my circus" and let it go; it's just that once they're on-site it's a more legally-fraught situation. (This is on top of the fact that the Coast Guard treats rescue as a core mandate, so no chance they weren't going to stop this guy from ending up Gulf Stream flotsam.)

I think it’s the opposite. Models will become more commoditized and closed/invisible as the basis of other service offerings. Apple isn’t going to start offering general API access to the model they’re training, but will bake it into a bunch of stuff and maybe give platform developers limited access. Meta will probably continue to drive the commoditization train because they have a killer ML/AI team, but the same thing will likely happen there once it’s the basis for a service that generates money.
I mean, if you use it less, it will wear down slower. Nothing to worry about.

I don't think this reflects reality - many movies with enormous marketing budgets and which probably fit this "political correctness" definition routinely rate poorly on RT.

Your last sentence - I 100% agree with you. The general theme here is that AI will impact other people in some fashion, but they can re-train and get better jobs!

But it seems to me that software engineers should be very, very nervous about this. Creating things using novel means within well-established and documented/testable boundaries like programming languages seems like something that our current models will absolutely be able to do, if they can't already.
It doesn't sound like that's a big distraction for Mullvad as it seems most of the actual changes are done on the Tailscale side, enabling users to use Mullvad proxied through their setup.

Partnering with similarly aligned organizations like Tailscale and Tor seems like a good way of increasing the userbase without engaging in sketchy business models like the rest of the VPN competition.

Amazon is already deeply dependent on Seattle. US-WEST-1 is distributed across 13 or more locations in downtown Seattle. They have 4 or 5 skyscrapers there as well. There is a huge population of employees living in the area.

They are dependent on Seattle and Seattle has a reciprocal dependency on Amazon. "Just" adopting a distributed workforce position means putting a large investment in real estate at risk. Why would they do that?

> What is OpenAI's moat?

From what I understand, if you take the absolute best cutting edge LLM with the most parameters and the most up to date model from GitHub/HuggingFace/whatever, it's very far off from the output you get from GPT-3.5 / GPT-4

aka full of hallucinations, not very useful

I don't know if this is the right way to look at it but if what George Hotz said about GPT-4 simply being "8 220B parameter models glued together by something called a mixture-of-experts", from what I understand, OpenAI's moat is:

their access/subsidiized cost to GPUs/infrastructure with Microsoft

the 8 220B models they have are really good/I don't think anything open source matches them/nobody can download "all of Reddit/Twitter/Wikipedia/StackOverflow/whatever else they trained on" anymore like they could given how everybody wants to protect/monetize their content now

and then the "router" / "MoE" piece seems to be something missing from open source offerings as well

Okay. But it does? Our stats continue to show that making nerds happy (we're also nerds) leads to more corporate sales. (https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan/ etc)

So if we can make something that we want ourselves and our friends and fellow nerds also like, and that also then leads to more corporate sales... why not?
Jobs and climate determine where people live. There's no jobs in most places in BC so they go to the big city.

And then there's climate. BC does have a better climate than most of Canada. However, most of Canada has a harsh climate. A lot of it is not really that habitable. The Canadian Shield covers most of Ontario and Quebec. There's a reason why most Canadians live within a 100 miles of the US border: Climate and Geography.

This is nonsense. The home ownership rate is above the historical average and trending up.[0] Median household income is up ~50% since 1970.[1] The only possible way to argue that the 'American dream' is dead is to cherry pick data and/or hot-swap the actual American dream (of building a reasonably prosperous, middle-class life for yourself and your family) for some handwavy progressive analog.

Load time tolerance is proportional to session length and focus required. People put up with GTA V Online taking tens of minutes to load the "micro"transaction store contents [1] because when they sit down to play online they are going to spend a couple hours in near 100% focus.

Compare with a mobile game, even a 3D one, where sessions are usually in the tens of minutes themselves, a lot more effort is spent optimising load times and it can be a competitive advantage.

Lots of dumb things have happened because people just assume somebody else would have checked [x], where [x] is something painfully trivial. My favorite example is NASA destroying a Martian orbiter [1]. Thousands of people involved in a NASA project carried out over 5 years, at the cost of about half a billion dollars. The mission was a failure because nobody bothered to ensure that the systems were all using the same units of measurement - one system was using metric, the other customary.

If something doesn't make sense to you, keeping it to yourself achieves little. At worst you learn something, at best - it's because something was wrong.
