Thanks a lot for keeping grml alive for so long! I´ve started using it around 2006. I still am using it.
It does not get in your way if you need to save the day really fast, but has all the bells and whistles somewhere, if you need them.
Clause's huge context window is amazing but I am afraid to try to build on their API because it seems like it's use is very conditional. It said something like "try it out and then contact us". I don't have time to build something and then find out afterwards that I won't get "real" access or can't afford it.
A lot of things "contribute" to cancer, including alcohol and red meat. The question is what the alternatives are, and their pros and cons. What I heard from farmers is that there is no know alternative that's safer. There's just less research done on the alternatives, so they may be better. But could be worse.
What worries me is that all is based in a sample of DnA corrupted

Digeneans by definition aren't segmented animals. If each "petal" of the flower is an animal, then those are clearly segmented and this is very problematic

So either this is not a digenean, or we would need to reclassify an entire class of animals.

If this does not have complex chetae and maybe remains of a mandible then is not a polychaete (but we need to take in mind that both could had been dissolved by the preservative).

This animals seem to have a species of terminal sucker like digeneans have. But I would thing instead in another kind of animals with suckers that are segmented: Several marine leeches feeding on a mass of digenean spores (each one would be filled with digenean undigested DnA, so beware with spreading the analysis too thin!.

Other reasonable possibility IMAO would be a group of leeches producing or incubating a mass of eggs. Leech coccoons are complex structurally and round.

Something is very wrong here

That obviously didn't work out well. Again.

Having worked on UK state level positive influence and despite meeting
many talented, smart and super-creative people, I feel the messaging
is often criiiiiinge. Esecially with regards to subjects like security
and online, it's Just bloody awful, immature schoolboy level that
shows no understanding of human psychology, or modern society.

Secondly, the UK government didn't need this propaganda drive. The
Online Safety Bill was beaten through parliament by four successive
governments, and is a poster-child for shapeshifting machinations,
deceit and disinformation.

The very existence of this influence project says everything about how
low our government fell in its relationship to the people, and that
was evident throughout the pandemic. I don't think internal
information and influence operatons have ever recovered from that
lowpoint.
And the battle heats up.
>Editors should maintain the visual column offset where possible, meaning they must account for double-width emoji

Im confused by this. A terminal is conceptually a grid of rows and columns. A double width char, as the name implies takes up 2 squares in this grid, so maintaining the visual offset would be the path of least resistance.

So how is the terminal being modelled, so that this statement isn't obvious and automatic.
How much plastic does this actually produce? The DVDs are reused multiple times, as are the boxes. They are comparatively unlikely to end up in the environment, since they are in a closed and controlled environment - people are unlikely to just throw them out in the garbage. Packaging may be an issue. But there are many better ways to reduce plastic pollution - for example just driving a few miles less per year, or driving a lighter car: Tires are a much bigger source of plastic pollution and they shed microplastic directly into the environment and water runoff: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/tires...

I'd rather have people kick back on their couch and watch a Netflix DVD instead of feeling great that they saved so much plastic, and then smugly drive their SUV to the next shopping mall.
New to London. London transport is good when it works. One thing I don't get, compared to my home country, is why when the train employees strike, they cancel services? Back home they just refuse to collect fares, and open the turnstyles. That way the unions don't offside the public.

"Two-tower" or "dual-encoder" is an established terminology, many years old.
I once worked in a project where the plan was to have 3 switches in a box, ethernet, ATM, and TDM. The 622 Mbps ATM switch chip was much more expensive than a 1 Gig-Ethernet chip. So ATM was dropped pretty quickly from the concept.

ATM-based DSL was a compromise of the different factions inside telcos. The 'net heads' got a fast Internet access technology. The 'Bell heads' got ATM into every home in preparation of all the glorious ATM applications that would be available any moment now.

Exactly-once is only meaningfully possible if you have a rollback for tasks of unknown completion state - for example if the task involves manipulating the same database as the one controlling the task execution. Otherwise, it becomes the (impossible to solve) two-generals problem between updating the task status and performing the task.
Fair ‘nuff, but I’m not gonna bother getting into it. Life’s too short.

Let’s just say that there has been a fair bit of press, over the years on the matter, so it may not be as singular an event as you might think.
The brain is organic and needs to keep itself alive as well as processing data, and it processes and conveys data by alternating between electrical and chemical signals; chemistry in general is a high-noise mess.

As I don't expect conscious experience to be the result of that mess[0], I expect a digital silicon network to be able to have qualia when it's replicating both the structure of a conscious brain and the simplest parts of the behaviour of the neurones in that structure.

I don't know, I've seen an increase in people viewing "philanthropists" as, essentially, oligarchs trying to go under the radar -- using their money to mold society in the way they think is best, and ultimately just exercising power in a way that seems altruistic. Perhaps sometimes it is altruistic -- but there are clear examples of continuing to spend money on ideas they believe strongly in spite of the evidence (e.g., Bill Gates' billions spent on evaluating teachers based on test scores).

We have a "status flag" column which is either Available, Locked or Processed (A, L and P), an Updated column with a timestamp of when it was last updated, and a Version counter.

When grabbing a new message it selects "Available or (Locked with Updated timestamp older than configured timeout)". If successful it immediately tries to set the Locked status, Updated timestamp and bumps the Version counter, where the previous values of Status and Version has to match. If the update fails it retries getting a new message.

If the Version counter is too high, it moves the message to the associated dead-letter table, and retries getting a new message.

This isn't for high performance. I tested it and got 1000 messages/sec throughput with handful of producers and consumers against test db instance (limited hardware), which would be plenty for us.

I wrote it to be simple and so we could easily move to something AMPQ'ish like RabbitMQ or Azure Service Bus when needed. Overall quite easy to implement and has served us well so far.

I grew up in the northern hemisphere and now live in the southern hemisphere.

The night sky appears brighter and more starry in the southern hemisphere (after correcting for moonlight and light pollution, of course) due to the Milky Way, but it is harder to see constellations due to the low contrast.

The most noticeable individual stars sit quite low in the sky. Here, the "background" behind the nearest stars is black, making them easy to see and seemingly brighter.

I think it is no coincidence that the vast majority of named constellations occur in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, people traditionally navigated by the Milky Way rather than by individual patterns of stars.

Both hemispheres have a very beautiful and distinctive night sky. It is impossible to say which is "better" because they are so different from each other.

AWS invests $4B in Anthropic to improve Bedrock experience
Too busy: what typically happens is that the concern of the spin-off of the disc business would be delegated to one / a few board members whose responsibility would be to examine the issue and make a recommendation to the rest of the board. The board member(s) themselves are rarely the people doing the analysis of the options; instead they delegate to salaried workers (either of Netflix, a contractor, or working directly for the board member) who do the legwork. So the amount of time that a board member themself will spend on the deal is either zero (they're not a member of the committee responsible for sourcing the recommendations) or fairly minimal.

Mistaken is another form of stupid.

And do you really think you get to be on the board of a ~$168 billion market cap public company by being stupid?

He regularly downplays alternatives to his specific investments. So much so that it's not immediately clear to me that he's had a net positive effect on climate change with all his spending, which is somewhat tragic.

The biggest black mark in this regard is of course his continual downplaying of PV and wind as energy sources. And time has placed him squarely in the "stupid people" camp on that issue.

On tree planting, he might technically be correct if you give him the benefit of the doubt about exactly what he's talking about, but rewilding is going to be a substantial part of addressing climate change.
You could have a look at Plan9 which has a small community of enthusiasts.
It didn't infect the treasury, it originated there.

The treasury is a deeply broken institution, and it has always been resistant to losing "turf". In the 1960s Harold Wilson's administration tried to split its functions: the new Department for Economic Affairs would take the long view, and the treasury's job was to take the short view and deal with the markets. From what I recall reading (source needed, it was a long time ago and I forget the book) it was not just ministerial infighting that caused the problem: civil servants in the treasury didn't want to lose out to the DEA either.

It is always helpful to recall that the four great offices of state are, especially at the upper echelons, ancient institutions whose cultures are unlike anything most of us have experienced.
They should atleast see what they can get for it on eBay first
What is surprising to me in the article is the price. It is much cheaper than I have thought. It says creating replicas for a full menu can run as high as US$ 9,600. Which is obviously a large chunk of money, but that is quite comparable what i would expect a professional photographer would charge for just photographing the entire menu (especially if I also add the cost of my chefs having to cook all of the items for the photos, and the lost revenue of having to close for a day while we do this, even more if the photographer has to create fake items.)
Not to imply any specific doubts—I’m aware of the narratives—but if you have references, I’m interested! Request, request.

Another point is: you don't need scalable now, but may (or even hope) to need it later, and you know that when you will need it you probably won't have time to invest into migrating this component.

It is all playing with the statistics. How the risk of getting cancer grows if one eats glyphosate? How does it compare to other factors, like pollution, obesity, etc.

We used to have a similar discussion about contraceptive pills, at some point there was research that they increase probability of getting cancer by 30%. Holy crap, 30%!!!

Sounds horrible, right? Some political groups that call themselves "right wing" pick this subject up immediately.

The point is that you calculate this 30% out of a very small probability value and, as a result, it is negligible if you look on other factors like smoking, bad food, pollution, alcohol or drugs usage or genetic factors. They increase getting cancer by thousands percent, so, in practice, contraceptives influence is not practically important, as it might affect just a few cases out of millions.

Same with herbicides. What if we stop using them, are we able to stop the biggest killer from old times, various fungus, that grow on plant, are not visible but very toxic. Does the risk of consuming glyphosates is that big so we can drop it and risk something else?

How about prices, food will be more expensive, people in Europe will perceive themselves poorer and will riot. Bollocks! What an absurd claim, you say, Europeans are rich as they've never been!

Objectively this is true, the point is people are not objective - see what happens in Germany, one of the richest countries on our planet. People got more expensive gas & oil and what happens? See how much popularity gets NSDAP reconstruction group, called AfD (in the polls they have 20% and still growing).

Is the cancer risk enough to justify a risk of getting us into political rumbles Western Europe hasn't seen since 1939?

And so on, this is not simple if you deal with something that might affect millions.
It's also good at setting alarms.

I feel in this case, the real issue is protecting the farmers by reducing exposition. They already are way, way less exposed than gardeners used to be, but by switching cultivation technique ('Semi sous Couvert Végétal' , I do not find the English translation), you can divide the exposition by 10 to 20.

As usual, the dose makes the poison, and people both anti and pro, are camped on their position it seems.
Such a disc-renting business would be a competitor to Netflix, both directly (especially in the hands of somebody who tried to focus on it, rather than reluctantly maintaining it, as Netflix has been doing recently) or because it could eventually try to repeat Netflix's own pivot into streaming. Consequently, selling it off would be rather risky.

The start-up costs and need of name-recognition are probably sufficient that it'd be hard for a new company try to fill this niche, but if they bought Netflix's distribution network they could likely manage.
Been trying to make this point several times now, they always doubt that this problem has been solved, and by Maven of all places. The NIH syndrome is for some reason rampant among package managers/registries.
There's broadly two reasons for this:

One, the evidence for it being a carcinogen remains relatively weak compared to many other substances we know of. It's in that category of chemicals where possible effects show up at the limits of detection for very high dose exposures. It's either weakly carcinogenic or that's just noise. Of course many chemicals, quite a few of them natural, are in that same class. There remains regulatory disagreement between the WHO and many other bodies on whether the evidence justifies a label as "possible carcinogen".

(toxicity to aquatic life is much better evidenced)

Second, it is indisputably much less carcinogenic and less toxic than almost every alternative wide spectrum herbicide.

It would seem disproportionate to me to entirely ban such an incredibly useful substance while we continue to live in a world with so many natural and artificial carcinogens for which we have much stronger evidence of danger and to which we are much more exposed. Nonetheless, it also seems reasonable to put additional controls on its use, restrict it to food production and other essential uses and discourage use for home gardeners and keeping city paths clear of weeds.

I don't know how safe there are, but not only are there glyphosate-free weed killers on the market, there are even Roundup-branded glyphosate-free weed killers available.

They seem to use acetic acid (Roundup Speed Ultra) and nonanoic acid (Roundup NL).

Are they safe? Are they effective? Hell if I know. I'm going to be wearing gloves and washing my hands after using, no matter how safe Monsanto says it is.

UK supermarkets (and I assume many more around the world) have done this "discount" for PI trick for decades.

That is a different point, and it reinforces the main one.

You must have noticed that car manufacturers have implemented car remotes that broadcast keys continuously. They are everywhere now.

If this is the awareness and focus that manufacturers adopt when planning a product, how concerned should you be with the rest of the involved "sensitive issues"?!

Yes! Alerting and recording rules are supported by vmalert [0]. vmalert then integrates with alertmanager for sending alerts, and alertmanager then dispatches notifications.

The problem of reducing AI to a tool is that your hammer has no intelligence. There are more complex tools, you might consider your computer a tool, once again it doesn't have intelligence albeit it can achieve very complex tasks. I think that your example of "you have an LLM generate a sequence of angles and velocities with which to shake the brush" is copywritable. In that sense you used it as a tool, as you would use a RNG. But if instead the LLM created the whole outcome, then it shouldn't be copywritable.

PS: I use the term "intelligence" loosely here for the sake of the argument

When looking to buy fake diplomas, it's important to find a reliable and trustworthy source. With the rise of online platforms, it has become easier to connect with fake degree makers who offer their services. However, not all providers are created equal, so it's crucial to do your research before making a purchase. One popular choice for those seeking to buy genuine degree certificates in Pakistan is to find a reputable website or service that specializes in creating authentic-looking documents. These providers understand the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, ensuring that your fake diploma closely resembles the original.For those seeking a fake degree certificate from Thailand, it's important to find a provider who understands the intricacies of Thai educational institutions.
