The fake horn project isn't very successful so far, so perhaps that's not the greatest comparison.

The easy availability of generated porn does increase the chances of normalising abhorrent behaviour. AI is also restricted to pictures and writing at the moment, you can't generate videos.

If the demand of CSAM does actually go down, I'm all for AI generated CSAM. However, we have little indication that it does, other than "it makes sense that it would".
I wonder why nobody has done electric rollerblades yet.
Having done SaaS and PaaS implementations for a bank, there were very few turn key enterprise contracts. They all went through redlining, addendums and custom enhancement processes and these negotiations usually took 3-12 months to complete (months just for an NDA). This is why you don’t see standard pricing.
I agree it's non-trivial (at least getting the a11y right), but most major design libraries actually did just this because of the limitations of the standard input elements

Definitely eskate. I've had a boosted v2 for six years and it's awesome, but the options out there now from backfire and meepo are insane step ups in speed and battery life, for the same money or less.

The extension isn't described as a beta. Some of the languages within it are noted as beta: Catalan, Persian, Icelandic, Dutch, Norwegian Nyorsk, Russian, and Ukranian. So like Dutch I expect more of them to become built-in to FF in the future.

Thank you, thats the one!

That article's misleading, probably out of ignorance of the author since it looks like an indie page. Up until 2018 China was importing about 45% of the world's trash plastic for recycling. [1] The world's waste is not well tracked, with a lot of opaque shifting about going on, but the paper makes some effort to estimate exports/imports.

The top trash plastics exporters (excluding Hong Kong, which imports and then exports a massive amount back to mainland China) over the time period studied (1988-2016) are: USA 26.7 million tons, Japan 22.2, Germany 17.6, Mexico 10.5, UK 9.26, Netherlands 7.71, France 7.55, Belgium 6.41, Canada 3.89. China imported a total of 106 million tons. It's estimated that the Chinese ban will see some 111 million tons of displaced plastics by 2030.

It's definitely just another example of developed countries exporting their problems to developing countries, and then looking the other way.

Most of it's just contenteditable doing the work, but there are a lot of little things, yes. But "someone else" does all that non-trivial work, and packages it together into a library called "contenteditable-plus" or something of the like; and then some devs end up using the element from that library for every single text <input> they need on a page.

You make it sound like this is our fault. What would you have us do? Cower to Russia and let them have their way in Ukraine? Nothing empowers Russia more than bending to their every whim out of fear.

And China may not even be able to hold it together for 10-15 more years without communism failing them.

CSS development is no different from people using programming languages. Languages, especially nowadays, are packed with features you've likely never used. Or used very rarely. So you have to do a quick lookup to remember "how do I [XXXXX] again?". CSS is no different. Nobody's making you memorize all the new features. The fundamentals are mostly the same. The only difference is we now have some new solutions for some of these edge cases

Leif Nelson, Joe Simmons, and Uri Simonsohn are professors who together publish the Data Colada blog. In June 2023, they published a series of blog posts (linked below) raising concerns about the integrity of the data in four papers co-authored by Harvard Business School (HBS) Professor Francesca Gino. They waited to publish these blog posts until after the HBS’s investigation concluded, with HBS placing Professor Gino on leave and requesting retractions for the four papers. In early August 2023, Professor Gino filed a lawsuit for defamation against Harvard University, and against Leif, Joe, and Uri personally, claiming 25 million dollars in damages.
Optical Circuit Switching for ML Systems
I tried to do that with Salesforce flows, back when I did work in Salesforce. I started off with Scheme macros, got as far as variables and constants but it quickly got too complicated.

Right before losing interest I was exploring using BabelJS to parse JavaScript into AST's then generate Flow XML from an AST. I think this approach would have more legs.
How does fsck corrupt filesystems when the metadata is something that's post-pended past the end of the image?

The reason why the original user (al20878) in the issue had a problem was because they were storing the images without a filesystem and expected them to have never changed size when they copied the image to the SD card. This isn't a typical use case.

Can you explain how you ended up with corruption based on a small thing being postpended to a raw disk image?

Yeah it's got wide tires (and they are pretty small in diameter as well) and it's a stepthrough with an awfully heavy frame. I might go with something like the radcity if I were going to commute daily. Currently that commute is only 6ish miles though and I'm still mostly WFH, so it's not as critical.

Rad does consider it a commuter bike, I just consider it a tad non-optimal but not anything terrible. Great for neighborhood errands though. My neighborhood 'main drag' is great for a little shopping/eating but is about a mile and change away so it's certainly walkable but I wouldn't want to lug groceries a mile up a hill so the bike is perfect. Haven't touched my car all summer unless I was getting out of the city.

It is a bit small. I think they rate it for people who are 5'10" max, which is my height to get full leg extension. While it does fold it is quite heavy so if you are thinking about a scenario where you drive the edge of the city and bike the rest of the way in just know that getting it in and out of a trunk is a bit of a wrestling match.

Maintenance-wise, no big complaints in almost a year and a half. I had a flat tire and was able to find a replacement tube no problem at a local bike shop. I've had to replace the brake pads and frayed up the brake cable in the process so I replaced that too, did all the work myself cost me maybe ~$20 in parts. Considering swapping the brakes for some 'hybrid hydraulic brakes' aka cable pull hydraulics, those will run me a couple hundred bucks for the pair, the work seems easy enough if you've ever swung a wrench. Did some lubing of the chain... No battery issues, no controller issues.

Curious to hear more of your thoughts on Application Insights.

I'm on AWS now and sadly it doesn't seem to compare whatsoever. A custom solution seems like it would take a fair bit of effort just to reach basic parity.
You're getting downvoted, but I do see this argument more often in non-tech circles. I don't buy it myself, but people do feel very hurt about photoshops and other alterations based on their likeness.

I think there's an argument to be made that these pictures provide plausible deniability to blackmail victims, but if the end result is the same (bullying/exclusion/name calling/reputation damage) regardless of whether the images are real or generated, that doesn't really matter. "I will send hundreds of pictures of [someone who looks exactly like you|an AI model of you] unless you do x" is a pretty convincing threat regardless of the origin of those pictures.

So far, the general public lacks understanding about the technology and what it can and can't do. That understanding is a crucial step in getting any benefits from the technology.
> users are not likely to switch search engines if the results are good enough

I’ve been using DDG for a few years. I don’t even remember why I started using it. So far the results from DDG have been “good enough” that I’ve never felt the need to switch to Google, even for a single search. If DDG was the default search engine in people’s browsers, I wonder how many would just use it instead of changing to google.

Probably because it's one of those things that nobody wants to find out. Especially in countries that have "for-profit" prison systems.

The UK is probably a great example of this. They - the government - fired their drugs advisor because he returned an answer they didn't want to hear.
> Doing otherwise is wildly inefficient

I hate to break it to you but irrespective of a pursuit for efficient progress in science, the majority of papers reinvent things unencumbered by an obligation to locate the work in a broader body - in every paper I've been on, citations are post-hoc. And everyone I know works the same way - build a thing suited to your needs, craft the sales pitch for the reviewers (including how you're different from competitors), sprinkle citations for good measure.

Clearly I don't think this is bad.

You can induce fetishes and sexual tastes to someone by repeatedly showing him enticing pictures. This is why alternative sexual practices have exploded as porn got mainstream, or movies/books like 50 Shades of Grey (aptly called "Mommy porn") got mainstream.

People aren't born with a set of fetishes in their head. I'm not either arguing for a "think of the children" line or reasoning, creating AI generated CSAM content is a niche activity, so forbidding it won't affect our freedoms significatively.
The Notion-Ification of Google Workspace
1) I think you're absolutely wrong and there's no need to use images of people that look like children to fine tune.

Yeah, I couldn't say, it's just "vibes" I guess, just like the filler text produced by business consultants it's just not something that I feel would be missed if lost.

"if you don't like me wasting electricity you should institute a carbon tax" is the free-market equivalent to leftists who shout "this happens because we don't abolish capitalism and decommodify housing".

The truth or falsehood of the statement is irrelevant, it's politically ludicrous.

Carbon prices last exactly as long as progressive governments, not a day more. The moment a conservative government takes power, they're destroyed. They have no moat. And I'm writing this from a country that has a small, modest carbon price.

Since carbon prices are politically impossible, that means that avoiding spending excessive electrical energy on inefficient vanity projects is a matter of personal responsibility.

> But it is stating the obvious: if you write free, open-source software, but you charge for support, then yes, you're engaging in a commercial activity! You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

It's the regulation which is trying to have its cake and eat it too.

There is a common model for open source development where you have a full-time project maintainer who is barely scraping by on donations and support contracts but these pay their salary, and then a large community that makes contributions. This works well because there is a lot of low-enjoyment and administrative work that needs to be done by someone but nobody wants to volunteer to do, but you can put this on a salaried employee and it makes the community possible.

Now if anyone does this they're put on the same footing as Samsung or Microsoft, which they don't have the resources for so they can't anymore. But they were the glue holding the rest of the community together, so the whole thing crumbles.

They should all be called social studies and not “social sciences”. As you’ve pointed out, they’re not real sciences because the requirement for being a science is having a repeatable theoretical model.

There's a lot of celebrity chasing going on even in the physical sciences. I see it most in theoretical physics where papers can be published at an astonishing clip. Experiments however take much longer and if the numbers don't line up, they don't get published. In the rare cases that they do, the penalties are severe. But, when a theory or family of theories gets wiped out by a measurement, there's not the same blowback.

I am also concerned by the willingness of so many physicists to cozy up to the oligarchs.
Were you looking at razor-style scooters? Before that brand came up with their tiny scooters, pretty much all scooters had wheels around the diameter of these Onewheels.

Obviously, given the context, the person to whom you replied meant that it would be bad to give the government the power to punish people for their thoughts. It's willfully obtuse to bring an individual's monitoring of their own thoughts into the equation.

No intentionally implied negativity towards debt at all, it’s a great tool. Just a statement.
It actually is. With Google being sued, if you start talking to a coworker and then say “let’s talk about this <on a none work recorded communication channel>, you may very well be questioned about what you wanted to talk about.

The government is forcing Google to retain all internal messaging communications.
DAWs haven't converged on a "best" approach. Most use a traditional linear workflow that's essentially a digital multitrack tape, but Ableton and Bitwig use a clip-based workflow that tends to be better suited to improvisation and live performance.

I think the factor you're missing is path dependence. The approach that becomes dominant isn't necessarily "best", just a stable equilibrium where switching costs are greater than potential benefits for most users. I'm typing this comment on a QWERTY keyboard, but I don't believe for one second that it's the optimal layout - I just can't be bothered to learn Dvorak or Colemak or whatever.
>There's no real doubt that possible Ukrainian NATO membership (and short of that, its ever closer de facto integration with NATO) were primary motivating factors for the Russian decision to invade.

That is a lie. Russia's primary motivation is irredentism. They have been saying Ukraine is a fake nation that should not exist since before 2014.

>American analysts and diplomats have been saying for decades (both in public and in confidential cables) that Russia viewed Ukrainian NATO membership as the reddest of all red lines

This is a narrative being pushed by pro-Russian propagandists. Ukraine was not on the trajectory of becoming a NATO country. Most Ukrainians didn't want to join NATO before Russia invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine in 2014.
I'm glad it finally shipped and that it's implemented fully locally, but it's not very useful to me right now.

> Apparently personal vehicles are responsible for ~58% of transportation emissions.

That's because most people in the world don't fly. If you're flying coast to coast and back once (approx 1t CO2eq), that's already a significant percentage of a typical car's yearly emissions, like 20%. Add an international flight and you're getting close to an even split.

> You're likely much more effective giving up your car than giving up flights.

I mean, obviously ideally you'd do both. Probably easier to significantly curtail both instead of giving it up entirely. But telling most people to give up their car is like telling them to give up a kidney or both.
