Four patients were placed on a vegan diet in 1977. Three of them adhered to the diet and experienced a reversal of the disease (an improvement in their symptoms), while one patient saw improvement but later switched back to a regular diet, resulting in a return of his symptoms.

Esselstyn CB Jr, Gendy G, Doyle J, Golubic M, Roizen MF. A way to reverse CAD? J Fam Pract. 2014 Jul;63(7):356-364b

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25198208/

In a study involving 198 patients with cardiovascular disease, 89% adhered to a plant-based diet, eliminating dairy, fish, and meat while adding oil. These adherent patients experienced only one recurrent cardiac event (a stroke), resulting in a low recurrence rate of 0.6%. In contrast, 62% of nonadherent participants experienced adverse events. This suggests that intensive counseling on plant-based nutrition can be successful in reducing cardiac events and warrants further testing in broader populations to address the cardiovascular disease epidemic.
The claim is that the complete model, including the weights, is open source. Doom explicitly doesn't cover it's assets as open source.
Add in the damage it does to your monopoly defense though and suddenly it's not as obviously +EV.
I would be amazed if Apple didn't have a search engine developed in-house that was 'all ready to go'. Not to say that I think they will deploy it, but they would be silly not to be ready.
PCIe 2.0 x1 can do 4Gbps, that should be more than plenty for any NAS - especially considering the ethernet port is 1Gbps.
DVC is slow because it stores and writes data twice, and the default of dozens of concurrent downloads causes resource starvation. They finally improved uploads in 3.0, but downloads and storage are still much worse than a simple "aws s3 cp". You can improve pull performance somewhat by passing a reasonable value for --jobs. Storage can be improved by nuking .dvc/cache. There's no way to skip writing all data twice though.

> I'm really quite skeptical more than one in a million people could tell the difference

Consider that lossless is good not only for listening, but also for transcoding. For example, when you want to use a media player with limited formats, or when the inevitable future codecs become popular.

(And for archival of digital source material, lossless is the only sensible option.)
Okay. We’re well off the topic at this point, so we can leave it at that.
> One design for the next 20-30 years.

This sounds great, but when it feels massively outdated in 5 years and the market has galloped off to an entirely different paradigm, sales will suffer or the business might even collapse.
How about "similar enough?" People, particular people who've never lived in another culture overemphasize differences within their own culture between themselves and others in their own culture. They often overestimate similarities between themselves and other cultures.

No one said that.

However, it is unrealistic to expect that a single 40/hr week low-skill income to provide for a family living independently.
Haven’t looked at the Watch ecosystem in a while, but this sounds like it could be an opportunity to create a “cooks timer” app for WatchOS?

Microsoft has other mechanisms for sharing source and is remarkably open. The symbol servers are relatively public as well. They are at a scale where they rely more on legal strength to keep their IP rather than it not being externally accessible in the first place, at least for Windows.
I used to work for a boss who was a train fanatic and executive leadership consultant for Amtrak.

His stance was that the government should not give a single dime to Amtrak in it's current configuration.

Apparently leadership is thoroughly toxic and only cares about two things: adding more stops and getting more tax dollars. Things like service quality, reliability, cost competitiveness, or even ridership numbers have any consideration.
Ah okay, that makes a lot more sense
As an ex heavy IRC user, I couldn’t possibly disagree more with this. Not even for the same “free! libre!” reasons as the other replier. It is just at its core still a gamer chat platform heavily misappropriated for other purposes, with a UX that will spare no opportunity to make you aware of that.
They seem to want to money beyond Nitro right now despite it being very pricy (100€/year right now for non classic one). They just added very basic paid animated frames sold for 10€ each and with a crappy discount for Nitro users.

Easy to gloss over and ignore when they don't support a decision that's already been made.
If I don’t want to think about a problem/situation (or it’s a new problem/situation), I have a prompt that describes the company I work at and then I add the question, “What should I do if __________ happens?” And if the answer seems reasonable I just do it. Saves a ton of thinking and internal debate over what to do.
You’re not alone in that. But most scientists that are publicly known are often science popularizers.

Such as Hawkings, Dawkins, Tyson, Cox.. but probably little is known about their actual work. (Exception being Hawkings in that list although he did pass away some years ago so would not count)
Google is debasing the quality of it's two largest products for no good reason (search and maps), angering every user of it's terminated former products, alienated the best employees in its workforce through random number generator layoffs, and the attention of its management is currently engaged in an antitrust trial that will go on for years.

Apple can still crush them while pocketing tens of billions of their ill gotten dollars and undermining what is left of their reputation. They're just playing the long game.

My money is on them buying Kagi not Bing. Kagi Orion was built on Webkit, so maybe they've already got an equity stake?
>Axioms are only arbitrary in terms of the logical system they are involved in. If they conflict with other axioms, one of them has to go. So the choice of axioms isn't totally arbitrary, even at the level of logic.

We aren't logic systems, and neither are systems of ethics. People change their minds and are self-contradictory. Things vary from time to time. Kantian style ethics are a rareity and are almost a caricature people critique to make a point or argument in parable.
Disagree, influencing someone and informing someone are orthogonal.

Influencing someone just means changing their behavior and/or beliefs. This can be done with either the truth or lies, or even just opinion (green is better than blue - neither true nor false).

Informing someone specifically means giving them true information, which may or may not influence them.
> the AI doesn't know. It's going to search around the internet and probably take a closer look at what it already told you, but that's it

F/k/a Putting a thing on the internet for randos to identify and explain. As long as it cites the LLM cites its sources, general questions in the form of "what is this" or "what's going on here" while you point to a page or an image or in a general direction are not well suited for search engines.

> Whatever generated that clearly wasn't serializing its data using a library

Wow, you couldn't ask for a stronger condemnation than that for YAML as a configuration language. "You clearly weren't using a library to write your config file".

In the world I live in, config file formats exist to be written and read by humans. Serialization formats exist to be generated by libraries.

The right choice would've been 9V 2.8A, because it's what USB PD-compliant chargers offer. For a 25W charger powering a 25W device, that's the only combination which is guaranteed to be available.

Using 5V 5A means you have to essentially use the official power brick, because very few third-party chargers support it. It really sucks.
I would amazed if it was any good. There are things Apple are good at and there are things they aren’t. Web services? Intelligent data processing? I can’t say they’ve got great track records in either area.
Caramelizing—truly caramelizing[0]—onions is a slow process that takes close to an hour. For this kind of task, I think it’s helpful to be able to set timers and be in and out of the kitchen, rather than be stationed at the stovetop continuously.

Yes, For a little while even it became a meme to compress all of shrek down to less then 8MiB using AV1 as that was the largest file you could host on discord without premium. It's not 'great' but considering many websites load more javascript then this entire 1.5 hour movie, It's impressive in it's own right.

You could fetch them all and use a quick classifier to detect train/ no train to rank them in order of the likelihood of seeing a train?
Hmm. So you could regenerate the link every few hours? Probably enough to discourage casual use though.

The email ends with "Just to be clear, the reason I haven't pushed back on a recall is that I don't want the message to be" and doesn't have the "Redacted" stamp. Bizarre.
It doesn't give them a leg up in the labor market. They'll have to raise pay to compete, negating any leg up you're talking about, or if they don't, resentment from employees, high turnover, and either way many of them will go out of business. Big corporations win.
I really wish they would add useful features to Nitro. I want to pay for Discord Nitro, but the features they keep adding to it actually actively annoy me and I don't want them. Server boosting seemed interesting but it ends up being extremely ephemeral.
I would say math has the same problem. Math is based on a bunch of axioms.

Minor nitpick: "And" in latin is "et", as in "et al.".
Not the OP, but I love trains and the idea of Amtrak, while the reality actually makes me pretty sad. It says something pretty bad about the US when we seem to actively choose to make our train service embarrassingly terrible even in places where trains make a ton of sense and absolutely could work (e.g. the US northeast).

Don't get me wrong, I'm also a private pilot and a car guy...I love our train alternatives too and flying and driving are things the US does a better job of. But leaving out trains as a realistic transportation option feels like a weird blind spot.
Someone will sue Microsoft, after all there AI directed them to use the malware after all.

Wisdom imparted in an accounting class in my undergrad, in the context of "what's the line I can't cross":

"If the email with your strategy gets printed in the front page of a newspaper, how would you feel about it?"

It's a good rule of thumb for professional ethics in general.
If we consider that a person is a data point with its own properties (family, wealth, education, upbringing environment,...); the idea of a universal framework that handles these properties for ethics is still valid.
Isn't there standard text on these? On a cover page and/or headers/footers?

I get that the content of the documents is not known, but I would think the structure of them is known and could be matched on. Perhaps specific phrases that are only likely to appear in military documents, or a classification level in a header/footer, or even some specific combination of font, font weight, line spacing and indentation.

They could maybe even slurp up the text from PDF's they blocked to prevent someone from posting similar plaintext. Probably not, though, because an endpoint that says whether something is or isn't classified is basically a classified document generator with enough time or clever tricks.

Then just forward the reports to whatever country's military owns those docs (or let the company's government do that). I think War Thunder only needs to make a nominal effort; the various militaries of the world will take care of backing it up with a dire threat.

Cool, thanks for the info. (BTW I wasn't disagreeing with anything you wrote, I just wanted to mention, since the topic of resolution/accuracy came up, that lots of aircraft broadcast information about the accuracy of some of the sensor data they're reporting, which you can do some pretty cool stuff with. E.g. that's how https://gpsjam.org/ works.)
Yes, thank you, I omitted that there is also a Pi 4 in the mix.

I do like the Pi 400 and would be happy to see one configured with 8GB. Lovely little machine.

Why would they get a pay increase? Everyone can use LLMs.
It's not as vague as you're making it sound.

Open source would mean what the engineers who work on this build artifact edit. This is clearly not that.

This is 'more open' than other releases, yes. That doesn't mean it reaches the bar of what 'open source' means.

Am I the only person here that has found FreeRDP to be really good? I used to use it a lot in my previous job. I never had a compat issue, the distro-packaged version worked fine, performance was perfect, it even had less bugs than the Windows RDP client (like weird tray balloon z-order stuff).

Perhaps you are all using some frontend to it and that adds issues? Not sure. I ran it on the commandline.

My only serious complaint is lack of printer passthrough. That's it.

> do not understand the benefits supposedly of this tech over a traditional search engine

I can't wait for Cupertino to do LLMs. If I'm walking down a street, I could ask Siri "what's the building to my right." It's not noncritical information, just slaking curiosity, and entirely unsuited for a text-based search engine. The way I'd answer it, today, would be to look it uourp on a map or ask someone near me.

The problem is our Gen1 LLMS are all liars. Oops. (Fortunately, so are most kids.) If we can solve the trust issue, where the LLM is able to self evaluate confidence in its answers, it's game over for search as a mainstream product.

OP is right and wrong.
I am currently a technical lead on a highly complex build that has been in development for a couple years now. A good chunk is in production, tens of millions of complicated 'product' is moved through the system every year. This will eventually scale to billions. Not making that number up, its the existing volume that will be moved over from the myriad of legacy systems we currently use as we build additional functionality.

We are using lots of consultants and they are very expensive. They also don't build with the same quality as our in house teams.

I can build any app I could during my full stack days quicker with no code.
Obviously there are some limits but I have not had to deal with them and they are edge cases in the day to day of a web developer.

It definitely helps to know how to build software and there is a world of difference between the work produced with the tool by a developer and someone that has not coded before.

I went into it expecting to very much dislike it and that it would only allow for toy development. It blew me away.

A team of devs that know how to architect software and this is the key; plan well, can crush projects with this. With that said, if you don't plan and just go in and start building its incredibly easy to build a mess of non maintainable spaghetti no code.
Do they have to feel passionate? No. What does feel passionate even mean? Seems subjective and changeable, an interpretation rather than an attribute.

I think it helps for “founders” to give the appearance of passion for the product, to impress investors, get interest from customers, and keep overworked employees motivated. What they actually feel… who knows.
Players do not have a button to turn around, they need to pick up the mouse quickly. Here's why that ends up being better:

There are two options:

1. Have one wide arm movement that turns the player 180 degrees, meaning that when the mouse is centred, the player can turn left or right by 90 degrees without lifting their mouse.

2. Have one wide arm movement that turns the player 360 degrees, meaning that when the mouse is centred, the player can turn left or right by 180 degrees without lifting their mouse.

Different players test each option and all available statistics are measured.

Turns out that option 1 performs much better than option 2.

For FFA (Free for all) games, having a reduced turn, also means that the player is more accurate. In a one on one fight, players with reduced-turn are able to consistently get more headshots (which deal much more damage then other shots) leading to winning more fights. This allows them to charge forwards into and out of fights, as it is unlikely for an enemy to be behind them since they had just cleared that area of enemies by previously charging into it.

For Team games, having a reduced turn still gives you the greater accuracy, but you're less likely to charge in since an enemy team can surround you and hit you in the back. This leads to teams of reduced-turn players remaining near each other in formation. If an enemy enters any player's field of view, they are able to kill that enemy faster since they can consistently get more headshots, protecting the whole team. If an entire enemy team appears together, the reduced turn team will still win because they can still get more headshots consistently. This tends to result in the enemy team breaking formation, allowing the reduced turn team to also break formation charging each enemy. The reduced turn team will then form back up into formation when they enemy team is close to regrouping.
I don't see how it's a valuable work finding out what your org actually needed if the cost compared to a proper programmer [team] is 3x - 10x more.

I mean I get what you're saying but finding one senior dev and onboarding him into the business and using him as a litmus test for most of your ideas as your concept evolves seems like the more sensible and cheaper option.
No, it is not part of the USB PD specifications, and the Pi 5 is therefore not PD compliant.

The PD specs require a 25W device to operate at 9V 2.8A. A 25W charger is still allowed to offer 5V 5A and a 25W device is still allowed to prefer it when offered, but it is not allowed to require it.

To make it even worse: at no wattage are chargers required to offer 5V 5A. Even a 100W one (which is required to offer 20V 5A) does not need to offer it, and it is 100% PD compliant if it only offers [5V 3A, 9V 3A, 15V 3A, 20V 5A].
Appreciate the skepticism; it keeps us on our toes. Let's cut to the chase:

Domain Lockdown: We added this to our Cloudflare Workers integration. It mandates a DNS TXT record to authorize a Worker to send emails from a specific domain. You can't forge the CF-Worker header, so impersonation is off the table.

Pre-Lockdown Vulnerability: Yes, we were more exposed before. Thanks to the researchers who pointed it out, we've patched this up with Domain Lockdown.

SMTP Relay & Web Hosting: Domain Lockdown isn’t mandatory yet in the rest of our service for the web hosting industry. But we’re developing updates for our cPanel WHM plugin and other integrations to make this scalable for millions of domains.

Scale & Standardization: We service a broad range of configurations. Rolling out universal changes takes time. We're also working with industry groups like M3AAWG to push for improvements to DMARC and other standards to help everyone be more secure.
