I'm definitely not a lawyer.

> Is there no legal difference between merely having intent to commit a crime at some point in the future, and actually attempting to commit a crime?

That was my point. To be charged with and prosecuted for a crime you need to both intend to commit it and then actually/attempt to commit it. Attempted murder is a crime, I both intend to kill someone and try to do so even if I fail. It's not punished as severely as actual murder but it's still a crime. But attempted murder is actual a specific crime in the criminal code. There's elements of it that need to be proven in court.

Unless a jurisdiction has a crime of "attempted possession of marijuana", intending to buy marijuana but ending up with oregano isn't a crime someone can be charged with. If we start writing laws outlawing attempted possession it's a slippery slope that gets into outlawing thoughts. It also opens the door to stupid pre-crime ideas like someone would only use cryptography to get ahold of illegal content therefore anyone using cryptography is instantly guilty of attempting to get illegal material.

You can be sure this is what will happen because it's the very arguments the anti-cryptography groups use.
I love that they named the cloud document sync daemon `bird`; people who've been using Apple's cloud services for a while may remember that MobileMe had a "Back to my Mac" feature which worked by creating a 6to4 tunnel and running the other bird daemon (BIRD Internet Routing Daemon) to manage routing. I wonder if there are any versions of macOS that ever had to have both bird daemons running at the same time?
I find telegram lacking in two major ways:

1. Can't block annoying posters

2. No functional website

For these reasons I avoid it if possible.
No love for tinc[1]?

We love ARIMAs. That is why we put so much effort into creating fast and scalable Arimas and AutoArima in Python [1].

Regarding your valid concern. There are several reasons for the high computational costs. First, ARIMA and other "statistical" methods are local, so they must train one different model for each time series. (ML and DL models are global, so you have 'one' model for all the series.) Second, the ARIMA model usually performs poorly for a diverse set of time series, like the one considered in our experiments. The AutoARIMA is a better option, but its training time is considerably longer, given the number and length of the series. Also, AutoARIMA tends to be very slow for long series.
In short: for the 500k series we used for benchmarcking, ARIMA would have taken literally weeks and would have been very expensive.
That is why we included many well-performing local "statistical" models, such as the Theta and CES. We used the implementations on our open-source ecosystem for all the baselines, including StatsForecast, MLForecast, and Neuralforecast. We will release a reproducible set of experiments on smaller subsets soon!

It's an extremely good read and parts of it remind me of some sci-fi thing I read, maybe by Heinlein, about scientists pretending to have magic powers by designing a staff that manipulated things like sound.

It's hard to pick a pull quote, but let's go with this (below) and give notable mention to describing traditional treatments as a carpet bombing approach.

But histotripsy doesn’t need to understand cancer to be effective. Its reliance on physical force generated by sound means it can ignore questions like what turns normal cells malignant or why certain abnormal cells grow and spread in the body.

Note that you can configure Sponsorblock not to skip sponsored segments but to still skip intros/outros and subscription/interaction reminders.

Adblocking is definitely the thing it's advertised on, but sponsored segments are only one labeled category. For longer lets-plays it's great to have the equivalent of Netflix's "skip the intro/credits" option. It is an adblocking extension first and foremost, but I still kind of recommend checking it out even if you don't plan to block ads with it because you might still find the other categories useful.

I agree to some extent with what you say. But you can minimize the impact of biases to the best of your abilities. When I write "biases," I mean any data that increases the amount of falsehood. In this regard, the priority will be to exclude any kind of dataset from the internet crawl or related to political or social life or religions. The problem with datasets starts from the very low level. For example, the Wikimatrix, which is aligned text of English and other languages uses sentences from the scriptures. And this is wrong, especially when the text in the scriptures differs (Catholic vs. Orthodox). Text that should be the same actually has a totally different meaning, which screws the translations. In this regard the synthetic datasets may be more preferable.

A mutation happens in one individual in one generation. Evolution happens when that mutation propagates through the population by reproduction. That itself takes many generations. Not to mention the fact that the mutation needs to be both advantageous and be recognized as such.
In by far most jurisdictions it is illegal to share the ROM, it is legal to download it.

You are in the clear if you download it from a ROM site (and own the corresponding cartridge). You are not in the clear if you use filesharing, unless you freeload.
There are at least 6 layers here:

* scancodes (what the hardware actually sends). Nobody should really touch this directly these days. Note that this is variable-length and encodes press and release differently.

* keycodes (sometimes useful if you want to bind by location of the key, e.g. WASD, but you should probably avoid these outside of games. There are only 8 bits of these. If you have multiple keyboards with different layouts your life will be pain.)

* keysyms (semantic info; this resolves shifts, keyboard layout, etc. The range here covers all of Unicode (but encoded differently) + a few more. Note that the release event is often for a different keysym from the press event! Hold events appear as press events but can be distinguished if you're careful.)

* strings (this layer resolves compose and such. I suppose input methods as well?)

* modifiers (including shifts, locks, and latches. Note that there are no events for modifier changes! You only get the list of modifiers when some other event happens, which is annoying.)

* TTY-encoded keys (only relevant for TTY programs). Many keys do not send events or send ambiguous events, at least by default. There are no release events, and hold events cannot be distinguished from repeated press events.

One particular annoyance I have is that "both shifts to toggle CapsLock" breaks programs that listen for the (unmodified) CapsLock keysym since there is an extra modifier bit set.
This suggests that sugar was introduced to Western Europe by the Crusades. So depending on the exact date, the brewers may not have had sugar alternatives to honey at all! Crazy to think that something considered such a basic ingredient in cooking may not have been available at all.

Lemme see if I've got this straight. The Conservancy is arguing that the GNU Public License is not a license, because then they couldn't sue. (Only the person who owns the copyright, and made it available under the license, can sue.)

They're arguing that it's really a contract, and can sue because they're someone who benefits from the contract. (And really, anyone could, since we're all intended to benefit from the release of source code.)

If they lose, they would have to track down whoever originally wrote the software and get them to sue. Or maybe convince them to give ownership to the Conservancy?

Have I got that right?
The author links to another blog discussing the related Martinez-Rueda algorithm, which I mention not only because this post ends with "I am considering implementing the Martinez-Rueda algorithm because [... it is more featureful]", but because at the top of it[1] there's a "visual proof" of sorts that I found strikingly concise.

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone attempt to explain FSF’s stance on the GPL not being a contract.

> A new report from Reuters found that iPhone theft dropped by 50 percent in London, 40 percent in San Francisco and 25 percent in New York. The drops represent theft activity as measured during the 12 months following Apple’s introduction of the remote locking feature in September 2013 as part of iOS 7. With iOS 8, Apple made its so-called said “kill switch” active by default, in accordance with California regulation, and that should help the rates of theft continue to trend downwards.
This is something I've been wanting for a while now, and I even considered doing exactly what you're doing and trying to figure out OCR myself. The reason I wanted it is because I would like to keep track of my bank balance over time, but I am really not comfortable giving access directly (like Mint required). But I then have the same issue when it comes to using an OCR SaaS tool because you'd have data. How are you thinking about privacy in this regard?

I'd be open to testing and providing feedback if you're interested.

I agree - You could frame LLMs this way. Tokens over "time" where time just happens to be represented by discrete, sequential memory.

Each token could encode a specific amplitude for the signal. You could literally just have tokens [0,1,...,MAX_AMPLITUDE] and map your input signal to this range.

In the most extreme case, you could have 2 tokens - zero and one. This is the scheme used in DSD audio. The only tradeoff is that you need way more samples per unit time to represent the same amount of information, but there are probably some elegant perf hacks for having only 2 states to represent per sample.

There are probably a lot of variations on the theme where you can "resample" the input sequences to different token rate vs bits per token arrangements.
> If I were to add something its to use whitespace for array element separators. Eliminates the whole trailing comma issue...

I like how Nim solves this problem: just allow trailing comma on last element. It makes easier to copy paste elements, move them around and even sort (e.g. in vim).

I had very similar issues culminating in losing a non-insignificant amount of data. Despite being locally stored on multiple computers, an issue with iCloud Drive caused it to be deleted off of all.

I’ve since moved all my data out of iCloud Drive (although I still use it for their other services like photos). I thought my case was just special but I’ve encountered similar issues helping friends/family.

It’s beyond me how they get away with people thinking it “just works” and how they can’t manage to make a simple cloud sync service.
The current conflict arises directly from the Muslim Arab armies conquering what was the Jewish homeland. Because that’s what made it impossible for the Jews to have a country of their own—something that most people want, and most Arabs have—without coming into conflict with the descendants of those Arab conquerors.

Imagine if the Cherokee fought the US government and somehow captured part of Tennessee. That would surely create hostilities between the Cherokee and displaced Tennesseans. But would you say those hostilities arose from what the Cherokee did, or the original conquest of the land by Americans?
When I was younger and rode motorcycles with my friends, we cast derision on the new trend of "Jesus Box" design, where any electrical issue meant buying a new, expensive black box that only Jesus could fix. No one with self respect would buy one, what if something failed out bush?

That valuation is not something that can be accurately determined by one organization, let alone one person. It is precisely why centrally planned economies fail.

> Truth is, if someone identifies a groundbreaking technique for timeseries forecasting

It’s really quite simple. Just iterate through all possible monotone universal Turing machines where the input tape consists of all data we can possibly collect concatenated with the time series of interest. Skip the programs that take too long to halt, keep the remaining ones that reproduce the input sequence, then form a probability distribution based on the next output bits, weighted by 2^-(program size).

What’s so hard about that?

> You listed 8 conspiracies. How many false conspiracies (or ones that failed to pan out) are there? If there are 800 of them, then OP isn't exactly wrong.

The set of possible conspiracy theories is infinite. The set believed by any one 'conspiracy theorist' is likely to be far smaller. Lumping in hollow earth, lizardpeople, flatearther, aliens etc with 'government lies about wars' is always a cynical move to avoid legitimate criticism and spread propaganda.
That's true, but not every language has to cater to the whims of industry. Sometimes it can just be for fun.
> With high inflation, low wage growth, increasingly expensive housing, healthcare, education, we gain little from other wars.

This is a very naive take on the US economy (and borderline Russian propaganda). The western (and US economy in particular) relies on certain global security guarantees which for the time being are being held together by Team World Police™ to make sure shipping lanes are safe and open, underwater cables aren't being cut, rogue/terrorist states don't have too much of a say in the global economy, etc.. Like it or not, it's the world we live in. The USA cannot be isolationist and cannot abandon other democracies just like that, because it's 'someone else’s war'. It's just what happens when you're the de facto global power and your (and other) economy is based on this assumption.

You know who were paying for 'someone else’s wars' propaganda in the US during WW2? Take a guess.
Huh, that's not been my experience.

No such thing as hot or cold blooded.

You have:

Endothermic: Generating internal heat to moderate body temperature, e.g., modern birds and mammals.

Ectothermic: Relying on the environment and behavior to regulate body temperature, e.g., typical reptiles.

Homeothermic: Maintaining a constant internal body temperature, e.g., modern mammals, birds, and some others.

Poikilothermic: Having a fluctuating internal body temperature depending on the local environmental conditions, e.g., typical reptiles and actinopterygiian fish.

That would require you to know ahead of time what you're patching, and to have a copy of it on the source machine so you could generate the patch.
