One of my client's sites stopped working in Chrome 117 (ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH) due to either a bug in Cloudflare or in Chrome due to this TLS 1.3 ECH feature. I spent many hours troubleshooting a very basic/default setup with Cloudflare in front of our website and with Chrome 117, and finally was able to fix the issue by disabling TLS 1.3 (for now) in Cloudflare since they currently have a beta of Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) enabled in all Free zones. Hoping this comment might help any other devops / network administrators out there with this problem. I've submitted a bug report to both the Chrome team and to Cloudflare.
In the US you can be sued for anything by anyone so it's a question of degrees of risk rather than absolutes.
It still has nothing to do with physics or science. I don't care to read about financial instruments when the title implies some sort of scientific breakthrough.

From looking at the picture of him, and this is an admittedly shallow take, I don't think he has enough mobility issues that it would require modifications.

I think it's just poor reporting.
I'm pretty sure the cell network itself can provide time. Not sure if smartphones use it.

I think older cell phones that didn't have GPS or a data plan (voice only) did use it. ~15 years ago, I had an old flip phone that had an option to set the time manually or automatically, and T-Mobile "helpfully" provide a time source that was like 5 minutes slow.
Looks OK to me, first time I went there there was an "are you a robot?" button, possibly enable JS?

The big difference is that Google legally obtained the copies of the books they scanned. OpenAI did not. Publicly-accessible != legal to download/ copy.

The copyright infringement in Google's case was not illegally obtaining the original work, it was about the snippets they provided.

In OpenAI's case, it is also about the illegal obtainment (downloading) of the original work, which they admit to in their brief, but argue shouldn't be illegal if they intend only to transform it. That element was not present in AGI v Google.
No, microservices are all about senior management's ability to map applications to people to yell at.
> They merely blend multiple copyrighted works together to create a new derived work

Is this true though?

If your model is trained on multiple copyrighted works to learn the statistical probabilities and relationships between tokens of those works, because they represent examples of common language usage, that's not storing a copyrighted work en masse. If those probabilities happen to pump out a chunk of copyrighted work it's due to the statistical relationship between the tokens (overfitting?), not that it's saved that specific content.
China's per capita carbon emissions are half those of the US (8 metric tons vs 16 metric tons, 2018 figures). Mote, beam, etc.

Same reason I left Verizon for Fi, avoidance of their bloatware. Couldn't imagine going back to a phone with apps I cannot uninstall (like Amazon & NFL apps, seriously, I don't care about sportsball at all and haven't used Amazon in more than 6 years)
It's time we stop the war machine --both parties are in on it. It won't stop violence, but it'll be on their terms and if they want to destroy themselves, why should we get in their way?

Some of the violence is directly done by us, some encouraged by us and some of it is natively fomented --I don't care. Bring us all back home and let the world duke it out for themselves.

Imagine what we could have done for ourselves with $8T dollars (child development, motherhood, infrastructure, education)! No, instead we piss it on wars.

Damned Neocons.

We don't need to be the world's "daddy". Countries have to figure things out for themselves. It's like trying to tell a kid how to grow up based on one's own experience. It doesn't work, kids have to figure things out for themselves.

If one country wants to have a violent theocratic dictatorship and another a violent communist dictatorship, and another just thinks we're pigs, you know what: let them work it out. Maybe it takes 100 years. Let them write their own history.
Yeah, but there is no guarantee that a write of one goroutine will eventually become visible to other goroutines. So in practice the runtime expects stronger guarantees.

Their support is pretty bad.. they refused to refund a £20 booking when the hotel was 500km away from where it was shown on the map. There were no other contact options, so I took them to the UK Small Claims Court... They paid up before the case went to court.

The user can add self-signed certificates. Random websites using self-signed certificates won't work without that extra configuration from the user.
On one hand this seems a black box tracking device and in invasion of privacy, with even less control than we have on out other such trackers, eg. our mobile phones.

On the other hand: why? Modern phones have NFC and Apple/Google pay. An ordinary NFC bank card can be a nice backup, with no need for tracking actually.

Also: I wont keep reading... if you happened to answer there questions behind the subscribe-wall.
I think that goes against the philosophy of free software, also, as long as there’s no standardized way of making these icons, I absolutely support theme-ing them so at least I have a consistent look when I open my apps drawer, to be honest, a lot of free software developers are great programmers but they are horrible when it comes to visual design, UI or even icons.
> Their actual ask is for distros is to stop applying theming by default

Which is exactly what the person you are replying to is highlighting. See freedom 3 here[0].

> There's not a perfect solution, but distros can at least try and not make the problem worse for the sake of "brand identity"

This website is explicitly (!) about valuing the "brand identity" of applications over that of distributions. Both are equally unimportant. Write software. Distribute software. Change software. Distribute changed software. Do it all.

Neither google nor bing search for 'submarine article' gives any relevant result.
That's definitely the wrong definition. A self-signed certificate is a certificate that is signed by the private key corresponding to the public key contained in that certificate - in other words it's signed by itself.

In fact every CA root are by necessity self-signed and therefore signed by a CA (i.e. itself)

Thanks for linking that. It entirely disproves the 'unprecedented' warming narrative.

Figure 5 indicates there's a 10-15 degree rise in temperature in around 200 years 45k years ago.

In any case, the data is not granular enough, nor are the enough samples to make any kind of determination on a global scale.

I would like to see solar activity included in the discussion as well. But anytime I bring it up I'm called a climate denialist. But we're seeing auroras very far south and those days it's no issue mentioning the sun is currently in an active phase. Why is that detail always omitted when it comes to global warming, sorry climate change?
> We haven't moved HTTP handling into the kernel so what makes QUIC special?

I feel like they answered that, but I'll try rewording it.

What makes TCP special that we put it in the kernel? A lot more of those answers apply to QUIC than to HTTP.

> I think it is just too early to expect every operating system to have a standard API for this. We didn't have TCP api's built-in originally either.

Okay, if you're comparing to TCP by saying it's too early then it sounds like you do already see the reasons in favor.

Such as "let Russia squash Ukraine"?
I really don’t care about any of the things you mention. I literally only want a room with a bed and a bathroom. And maybe I’ll sort my three stars and up or something.

There’s a lot of variability, but it’s also pretty impossible to know at a non-commodity level unless I’ve stayed there before or do a ton of research.

I’m not going to trust anything online for the latest bedbug check. Id like to know, but let me know how they factors into your decision making process.

For the same reason as always - because it's in America's interest to get in the way.
I like your new|alt|tmp handle btw :]
I was assuming people were familiar with the process and handwaving the rest.

You measure things like:

* What average sentence length?

* What is the ratio of adjectives to nouns?

* What percentage of sentences are in a passive voice?

* What is the distribution of words used?

* Is "the" used more often by the other than in general usage?

* "whence" vs "when".

* "tyre" vs "tire".
Etc.

This could all be printed out and sold as a book and each measure would be a very boring fact that is not copyrightable and contains no copyrightable content.

I could give you a word frequency list from the A Song of Fire and Ice series and George RR Martin could do nothing about it. (Technically, he might have the rights to "Arya" and "Lannister", but to say "the word 'Lannister' appears 1,337 times in the series" would clearly fall under fair-use).

I didn’t read that comment to be an affirmation that they didn’t like it. It’s an interesting observation.
There's no IPv6 adoption problem in the consumer and developing world space. The remaining adoption hold-outs are corporate interests and the reasons for their hold-outs have generally nothing to do with BGP or other dissimilarities between v4 and v6, and everything to do with cargo culting "security best practices", sunk cost fallacy, and kind of generally wealth (massive ancient investments in IPv4 address space, including some ancient early windfalls when companies like Microsoft and GE got /8s just for asking in the right years; for now a lot of corporate America can easily afford to only support IPv4 for "business operations" so long as they don't have to deal with some major consumer networks).

There are major IPv6-only consumer networks (it's now quite common among the mobile carriers). IPv6 routing is starting to be generally faster and more reliable for consumers. Consumers have easily adopted v6 mostly without realizing it. ("Happy Eyeballs", indeed.)

There's no "adoption problem". It is adopted. It is working as intended. Will there be a day that we "turn off v4 for good"? Probably not, but every engineer who helped build v6 should have been well aware of Postel's Law and its many corollaries and the root "Internet law" that "no matter how many networks exist, they will always communicate and cooperate; there are many networks but only one Internet". IPv1 and IPv2 likely will always be the only IP versions to truly die and that will always be an historic accident of when IPv4 was devised while the Internet was still mostly young and "just" a research project among academics. Killing IPv4 was never the goal of IPv6, it had to live side-by-side, and everyone knew it. Is IPv6 a "success" at current adoption rates? Success is subjective. Obviously we disagree on how successful it is/has been. That may not change, because they are and always will be opinions.
I clicked on this thinking it is a very odd headline for version control systems.

But you're thinking about this like a lawyer, based on existing policy and precedent. Ultimately, this will be decided by the Supreme Court or Congress, two bodies not bound by past decisions.

So you tried calling Booking support by phone and they didn't pick up? I ask because I personally had to call their support before a couple of times and they responded almost immediately. You do need to provide booking ID for that to happen though.

Contrast to Airbnb, which was so bad I deleted my account in.

Contrast to Agoda, which after charging my debit card required government ID scans within 2 hours-- or immediate cancellation & no refund. Stay next morning in foreign country, what if I was on the damn plane already? Never had an account with them and probably never will.
You need to click through their anti-spam mechanism (absurd as that is).
>the resolution of time in archaeological records are generally not this granular, and a lot of short-term trends are being smoothed.

We have precise records from antarctic core samples that can say with near absolute certainty what our climate looked like for hundreds of thousands of years. I won't argue any further about basic chemistry.

>very likely that the younger dryas had a much sharper shift in temperature.

...which was a catastrophic event for humanity that nearly wiped us out as a species. So yeah, point taken.

But furthermore, what exactly do you have to gain here by claiming that the sky isn't blue? That is the number one thing that confuses me about this idiocy. The earth is warming, and that will cause massive problems for society. It's a cut and dry fact of reality, regardless of your opinions.
Because America recognizes the benefit in addition to bearing the cost.

Like the federal debt, we always look at only half the balance sheet to maximize sensationalism.

[edit] with this type of geopolitical posturing especially, it's very difficult to calculate the benefits of everything that didn't happen as a result of your intervention, so it's especially easy to ignore. Just like investing in unit testing. How many incidents didn't happen because of the tests you wrote - and how much did that save the company? The set is probably uncountable, but we do generally accept that it's greater than zero.

We’re All Stagnationists Now
I suppose many of us are lucky to work in high-margin software businesses. I spent 15 years often travelling for work (typically very distributed companies) before the pandemic. Four separate companies. Everything paid on my personal CC. I preferred it that way so that I could optimize the flights/etc to make it fit my personal life. Everything reimbursed swiftly with zero questions since I never did anything really stupid. The only real bottleneck was myself; filing all of those damned receipts for every trip.

Having some kind of centralized travel booking service that "took care of everything" would likely have caused me to find another job. For one company I did a monthly 6h travel + a few days of hotel + 6h travel thing for a decade. Not being in total control over that would simply not have been feasible.

I have no idea how people doing a large amount of travel for stereotypical low-margin large companies manage to get by.

A great article - just a technical nitpick for the author: "in-context learning" is not what you do with RAG. "In context learning" is a really confusing name for reasoning by analogy. In RAG you provide source information in the prompt - in ICL you provide examples of how the task should be accomplished. :

"""

In-context learning in language models, also known as few-shot learning or few-shot prompting, is a technique where the model is presented with prompts and responses as a context prior to performing a task. For example, to train a language model to generate imaginative and witty jokes.

We can leverage in-context learning by exposing the model to a dataset of joke prompts and corresponding punchlines:

Prompt 1: “Why don’t scientists trust atoms?” Response: “Because they make up everything!
Prompt 2: “What do you call a bear with no teeth?” Response: “A gummy bear!”
Prompt 3: “Why did the scarecrow win an award?” Response: “Because he was outstanding in his field!”

By training in different types of jokes, the model develops an understanding of how humor works and becomes capable of creating its own clever and amusing punchlines.

if you're making a console/PC game, 12% is a lot of time to capture, and it's still a huge market.

the "middle game" as described in this article is still a very small scope, even if it's not necessarily more profitable than alternatives. $10k is selling 2000 copies (+ more to cover Steam's cut, so 2700-ish) of a $5 game.

I made no assumption like that, though do let me know if I've said something that could be interpreted that way.

Rather, I think that the static analysis we see in today's languages just isn't powerful/flexible enough to reason about safety in a lot of the patterns that we know are safe. I'm also uncertain if it can _ever_ catch up to what we know to be safe, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get there in a few hundred years.

For example, borrow checking is a step forward and can guarantee safety, but does nothing about the other half of correctness, specifically liveness. [0]

Linear types (like in Austral [1] and Vale's higher RAII [2]) can help guarantee liveness, but we still have further to go.

Both are based on single-ownership (in the C++ sense) like Rust, which introduces errors that e.g. Haskell would not.

But even Haskell (and LiquidHaskell which has linear types) don't go far enough; Coq goes even further.

So yes, like you say, we have a long way to go w.r.t. correctness, even past the borrow checker though it is a big step forward.

To my original point though, even all of these tools put together will put restrictions on a program such that it sometimes won't be allowed to take the most optimal approach. Perhaps someday we'll get there!

> What I was trying to get at in my first post above is that it is a violation of copyright law as the law is written

Copyright law “as the law is written” says fair use is not a violation. 17 USC § 107: “Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work [...] is not an infringement of copyright.”
