Yes, my background is in publishing open government data, such as budgets, election results, environmental info, economic data, and government program accountability studies. Not personal information. And yes, I do have strong opinions on how data is to be responsibly managed, hence my participation in this conversation. So, I'm curious if you have additional thoughts on the matter.
I mean, if we look at history, climate change (even much smaller than what we are facing) tends to trigger wars. Suddenly land that was valuable isn't and vice versa. Even in the most optomistic scenario it will probably destabalize the world order and result in conflicts.

Like e.g. weather events are thought to be one of the likely factors in the late bronze age collapse. There's evidence that unusual climate events coincided with the fall of rome. Like obviously a lot of other factors were at play, climate just pushed something brittle to its breaking point.
Your life is a hell of a lot shorter than the life of the ozone layer, so it's kinda weird to constrain it to that timeframe

Learning Git: A Hands-On and Visual Guide to the Basics of Git
what type of cards did you have? what did you do with them after PoS? How did you even buy so many cards? Sorry, like the other commenter I'm extremely curious
Correct. That's a crucial part if the point I'm making.
Reaction: You remember way back, when your mom admitted to you that Santa Claus and his elves weren't real...then told you that toys were actually made by huge corporations...but that was okay, because huge corporations would always make the world better and better?

Turns out that she still wasn't telling you the truth.
Other random MS-DOS fact, if your filesystem is badly corrupted and it attempts to read sector 0 as a directory, you will see what looks like a file named "δ<ÉMSDOS.5.0"
No, I can't get them to accept that there's a fourth dimension.
Moving to a NextJS stack, leaving Hugo
I think we may have a difference in degree when it comes to what we think may be coming. I don't expect the planet to burst into flames over night, but we have already done unimaginable damage to soil, water, and life on this planet. It can probably bounce back and maybe humans will even be here to see it, but in the nearer term I don't see it as a question of mitigating pain while the systems we have today continue to chug along.

I could very well be wrong, and if core systems don't break then I do understand the goal of just being less miserable today.
Thanks. You are actually right that this new supercomputer might move the needle once it is in production mode. I will wait and see how it goes.
The jury is still out re: the efficacy of Kinzhal missiles. Ukraine reports it's been able to intercept them with old-fashion Patriot anti-missile systems.

I agree with parts of the authors commentary, but I was disappointed that he didn't mention the LCS debacle as one of the reasons American shipbuilding is taking a beating.
I don't see why it would effect tipping at all. Instead of people saying, "wait staff makes less than minimum wage, so don't eat out unless you plan to tip", they will now say "wait staff makes only minimum wage...".
Exactly. I thought I was being clever using themes and plugins to build super fast... I don't know how to fix the plugins myself or rebuild them.

It's actually not just plugins but also the themes I'm using which add to the complexity. Honestly it's a.total minefield and I think the solution is either to rebuild from scratch or just ask the clients to take over the hosting costs.

Really appreciate you trying to help - the world needs more humans like you!
Maybe it was a normal supernova on star ejected straight at us at an extremely fast speed?
They're not.

They have a large set of different emails + passwords, and a large set of IPs.

Each IP can check a single set of credentials, so you never get a single IP in a short timeframe with too many login attempts, and never trying to brute force a single account. If the attacker rented time on the botnet for a long enough period, they can fly under the radar for quite a while. 23andme sees lots of failed logins, but no real way to pin it down.

reCAPTCHA would be the answer here. What's interesting/concerning is that it appears Google's reCAPTCHA (assuming 23andme was using it, and they should've been) was defeated.
How eye-tracking tech works
Millions of years of evolutionary computation is a fairly small amount of computational time. LLMs also benefit from decades of neurological computation in that their structure was invented and optimized by humans, which is already orders of magnitude faster than evolution.
Most people don't have the time or knowledge to set up a Linux box, much less an OSS baby monitor.

This is one category of problem that should be solved through legislation, but I doubt that should such laws be passed, that they would be actually enforced against bad actors.

Like most regulations, it'll be just another weapon to entrench existing players, and keep new entrants out of the market.

The way things should work: right-to-repair means not only schematics, BOMs, and source code; it also means documentation on network protocols, and the ability for the end-user to repoint any sort of cloud/smartphone connected device to another endpoint.
In the era under discussion, a "PC" was _by definition_ a computer with an x86 processor, and Macs and Amigas and Ataris were Something Else for boutique users.

As a teen earning min wage-ish, we aimed to get 10-15 yr old beaters, not new cars.
There are other studies that show the opposite though and it's important to not draw strong conclusions from a single study. To quote one study:

"compensation arrangements are endogenous and correlated with many unobservables, measuring their causal effects on behavior and firm value is extremely difficult"

As a parent of two small kids, I just did an old cell phone running tinycam + generic ip webcam (amcrest makes a bunch of good ones). The dedicated cell phone is mostly for nannies/babysitters, I just have tinycam installed on my own. The only downside is it only works on your local network, but if you really care about that you can setup a home VPN. That last one is beyond the capability of the average consumer though.
> Cannot force a subscription on me without a way to connect to the internet!

They also can't retract, brick, or remotely-control whatever it is post-sale.

Tech is entering the post-intimacy, post-honeymoon, abusive phase in its relationship with users. The companies involved are seeing what's possible to get away with and exploiting it at every opportunity.
All 3 have been VA to be fair. I do wonder if have missed a trick with IPS but have been lead to believe VA has the speed (and HDR as a plus)? that is kind of the point though I suppose, buying a "HDR ready screen" - it's been a real pain for a few years now from what I have seen >_<
Doesn’t really matter if the users are there if the revenue isn’t. Revenue seems to be the struggle at the moment.
I have seen context switches be a killer in some embedded contexts.
Especially on FPGA soft core applications where you often are dealing with heavy I/O, if you just naively spin up threads for I/O then you will suffer heavily.
You're telling me you got a cage? What's the monthly payment?

Yes it is. It's their fault for giving the user a choice. Google requires (some) users to enable 2FA, why can't 23andme?

Back in the day, you could listen to neighbors' phone calls and baby monitors by just turning your own wireless phone and/or monitor.
Interesting - I've seen that washers, dryers, and maybe dishwashers can connect to the Internet, but I've never yet seen it be mandatory as it sometimes is with e.g. smart TVs. And I did buy a washer and a dryer within the last few years, although that was in Canada rather than the US. Where are you looking that you're only seeing washers and dryers that require rather than merely permit an Internet connection?
>It is not just elections, but the complete end of privacy which also means the end of free societies which I wrote about as well here.

This is only true if you accept that most discussions are had via online forums and social media.

I wouldn't be surprised if we all just simply moved away from online communication rather than letting society collapse.
I agree that the Infant Optics monitor is great. Totally foolproof, decent range (unless you have concrete walls) and much lower latency than any of the internet connected devices I have seen.

I also recommend Phillip's line of audio only monitors. They are even lower latency and have an excellent filtering algorithm built in. I can play lullaby at a decent volume and it won't let any audio through, but as soon as baby makes a tiny noise the audio comes through clearly (including the music of course). It saves a bit of mental load from listening to baby music all the time.
To what end? What will more data do when it's inevitably going to be incomplete and largely based on modeling?

We won't ever understand the problem space of the entire ecosystem well enough to make a complete solution. But there are easy things that can be done if we actually cared to, and we certainly don't need to keep piling on more things that almost certainly make things worse.
If you don't live in the Southern Hemisphere, you'll be fine.

And if you do, I recommend Neutrogena SPF 50+ sports spray.
Your kind of arguing against yourself. You start with "Human nature is to use technology to dominate others" (agreed) but then conclude "don't worry about this massive step up in ability to surveil and control populations, rather let's focus on the elites being nicer"

I love HttpYac. I use it all day every day.

I stopped using Postman years ago because it got too bloated an "enterprisy".

Also the fact that it syncs all my stuff to the cloud across many consulting clients is a no go. Passwords and other stuff means it is a target for hackers.

Postman is a great product don't get me wrong but my specific use case are around HTTP testing and I want to check everything into version control
There are only three cars you can get in the US for less than $20k new, and at least two of them are objectively garbage - the Kia Rio and Mitsubishi Mirage. I don't know anything about the Nissan Versa but it can't be that great.

I don't say this to be pedantic but to point out that cars across the board are more expensive than most people realize, and if you haven't bought a new car in a while, especially post-COVID, it can be a shock to see that a car with terrible infotainment, a cheap plastic interior, and cloth seats will run you $30-35k new. You want nice speakers? Leather (even fake)? A steering wheel that isn't made out of Fisher Price plastic? Let me know if you find something for under $50k new. God forbid you want anything approaching luxury like ventilated seats or rear seat climate control unless you're willing to drop $1k/mo on something.
None of this is surprising. I was a sw engineer at 23andMe about 5y ago. Their backend consisted of some of the worst python/django spaghetti code I’ve ever worked on. There was also no engineering culture whatsoever.
Passengers in wheelchairs can't use most airplane washrooms. That could change
I've had the same Medicare advantage plan with Kaiser in Colorado since 2019: My monthly costs for Kaiser, and then for Medicare part B:

2019: 370.50 135.50

2020: 360.50 144.60

2021: 294.50 148.50

2022: 236.50 170.10

2023: 236.50 164.90

2024: 236.50 ??

Before 2019 I had a different plan. I was retired but not yet eligible for medicare. Prices for such pre-medicare plans have increased significantly over this period.

You can buy a lot of lawmakers for (say) 10% of ( $400 - $30 ) x units_sold. Or of $10/month x subscriptions_sold.
If you saw the raw image from a phone sensor, you'd understand why you'd want ML moon enhancement.

It's very difficult to photograph the moon with a small sensor. It's not true they're trying to "idealize" your photos; they're trying to make it look like something at all.
Be careful not to ban yourself :) had to use linode emergency shell once after misconfigured fail2ban blocked my ip
I haven't found any evidence that it is illegal in Illinois. It was legal after the Illinois laws around tips were changed in 2020.

It was illegal when they were paid subminimum wage. If you think it's still illegal, supply sources please.
You can plug a USB HDMI capture dongle into tablets and do this.

Any webcam viewer would probably work to view it, though there's dedicated apps intended for this like https://orion.tube/ on iPad. I know there's options on Android but don't have a modern android tablet to test them.
When the transition to digital was starting I was relatively young, and idly thought "Surely someone bould put a digital sensor into a film form factor to convert cameras.

Lo and behold, a few decades later someone's done it!
The Britishness of this piece flew under my radar on account of it being an article about Twitter/X.
Wow, imagine being a humanities major and having Brian Kernighan teach you Awk!
Or even regular missiles. Right now, the Russian Navy is retreating from its ports in Crimea to ports out of range of Ukraine.[1] Two ships were sunk, and the rest are being removed before they get sunk. We're seeing this former hypothetical play out for real.

In the Ukraine war, we're seeing that systems which are mounted on trucks, or are even man-portable, can take out most high-cost assets - tanks, ships, aircraft, etc.

I don't see where in the article is suggests that the attackers were able to obtain the raw genotype data of anyone other than the compromised account.

Are big-iron investments like this even useful for an outright shooting war with another major power? It feels like our defense budget could be better spent on more cost-effective, unmanned tech
That's just a rite of passage we must all do.
One of the biggest issues I've observed with workflow systems is an inability to get return values from each subprocess and then decide based on those which subprocesses to instantiate next. It always seems like the workflow execution graph is static in my experience. Is that correct?
I used to hear this wisdom when I was a kid. But, it hasn't been my experience. I'm not too picky, so I just buy the last year's model of the 3rd best car in its class with the lowest APR deal. I drive it until the warranty is up and sell it to Car Max, and on average it only costs me $2-3k a year. I'm sure dealing with used cars saves slightly more than that, but is it worth the hassle?
It's a bug from updating the PGP dependency, not a breaking change

Read the last paragraph. You still have humans, but their input is more akin to a movie reviewer than a movie director/writer/actor/etc. It still takes skill, but it takes a lot less time.

RLHF typically employees humans, and that can be time consuming in itself, but less time consuming than creating content. And their efforts can be amplified. If they are actually rating unpaid humans, that is, users, who are willing to provide feedback and are also prompting the system. Plenty of people are happy to do this for free, and some of it happens, just as a byproduct of them doing what they're already doing, creating content and choosing, which comes out good and which one doesn't. Every time I am working through a coding problem with chatGPT, and it makes mistakes and I tell her about those mistakes, it can be learning from that.

People can also come up with coding problems that can run and test itself on. As a simple example, I imagine it's trying to write a sorting algorithm. It can also write a testing function simply tests that it is correctly sorted. They can also time its results, they can count how many steps had to do in that sense it can work just like Alpha zero, where there is an objective goal, which is to do it with the least clock cycles, and there's a way to test whether and how well it is a achieving that goal. While that may be a limited number of programming problems that that works for, by practicing on that type of problem it will presumably get better at other types of problems, just like humans do.

This is exactly what large language models do, they find a way to objectively test their writing ability, which is by having them predict words and things that they've never seen before. In a sense it's different from actually writing new creative content, but it is practicing skills that you need to tap into when you are creating new content. Interestingly, a lot of people will dismiss them as simply being word predictors, but that's not really what they're doing. They're predicting words when they're training, but when they're actually generating new content, they're not "predicting" words (you can't predict your own decisions, that doesn't make sense), they are choosing words.
It definitely seems plausible that BEVs are a better value overall, but I wonder how many EVs have gotten to 200k to make a comparison, and if the comparison is just EVs in general vs gas cars in general which you would figure is somewhat skewed. The note at the bottom about PHEVs coming out to a slightly lower amount is interesting as well, and makes me think there might be more at play than just ICE vs BEV.
There's a big gap between the amount of oilwwe use today and zero oil, we can reduce without stopping.

I think your point leads down the path of arguing that we have too many people on the planet though. If we can sustainably feed everyone without causing unknown amounts of damage to the environment, we will eventually hit a wall and run out of ways to dodge that fact.
We don't have the social dynamics for social shaming to work. I've seen some cafes where there's no seating just tall tables for standing at -- the owner could theoretically implement those. But otherwise, I don't see anything working.
That probably wont help. If the vulnerability is in the PNG renderer, then Signal is also vulnerable as they also show you a preview.
Several cars exist can self-park when you drive to the spot, but they are ridiculously slow at it. Add the basic self-driving functionality (much of which has existed for 5+ years even in mid-level cars like the Accord), and what you're describing is easily doable, though would cause massive backups in those garages I assume.

They were actually owned by different franchisees!

The spaces were significantly different as well. The one that shut down was so small it couldn't even physically accommodate the equipment to make the sandwiches!
On Apple displays you don’t have to turn HDR on or off, it’s available all the time. SDR content is displayed as usual (exactly like everything looked 10 years ago) and HDR content can sit directly next to it and use whatever brightness headroom is available for extended dynamic range. It’s totally seamless and transparent, but the experience can make the user think that SDR content is getting darker as their eyes adjust to HDR.
I was about to be like "surely you mean the S/390 series" but nope, you are correct! Apparently 3090 came in between the S/370 and S/390 series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_3090
Primarily 470,480,570,580. We also ran a very large cluster of PS5 APU chips too.

Got the chips directly from AMD. Since these are 4-5 year old chips, they were not going to ever be used. It is more ROI efficient with ETH mining to use older cards than newer ones.

Had a couple OEM manufacture the cards specially for us with 8gb, heatsinks instead of fans (lower power usage) and no display ports (lower cost).

They will be recycled as there isn't much use for them now.

I'm also no longer with the company.
Personally, I figure everything "await"ed by default seems to make more sense. Then add a keyword like "delay"ed to a function call to make the function return a promise that can be "await"ed later.

This way beginners don't have to understand things like the event loop or difference between a function that returns a promise and one that doesn't while more advanced users can still manually handle promises
People have been trying to watermark digital media for decades, when there was (still is) a very strong financial incentive to get it working. It never worked. I don’t think it ever will work.

I remember sketching out the idea for something like this when digital cameras came out in the 90s. I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to do it, seems like it would've made more sense back when everyone had film cameras. I always assumed there was some technical barrier I wasn't aware of.
