Another lesson we should learn from the pandemic, aside from the risks of GoF research, is that searching for novel viruses in animals can be extremely dangerous.

WIV collected samples from bat populations to find novel coronaviruses. Processing those samples was not done in a BSL-4 facility, but instead in BSL-2 labs. Some of those samples, like RaTG13, were as close as 96% similar to SARS-CoV-2. Even if COVID didn't require GoF research to spill over into humans, and was a purely natural spillover, actively collecting novel viruses and processing them in a low-BSL lab is a recipe for disaster.

BSL-4 is reserved for pathogens known to be dangerous to humans. This policy effectively translates to treating novel viruses as safe until proven otherwise, which is reckless.

I'm not sure I understand - is AMD merely refreshing frames in a faster way than usual (something that players with better equipment already are doing), or are they also interfering with the game process in some way (ie actively adjusting your aim or performing other commands)?
modern piracy is pretty easy and becomes cost effective fairly quickly once you start scaling.

but spotify is pretty good, doesn't require a lot of storage, and works on everything to include my phone and my linux desktop. my mom, my kid, and most people i know are able to use it, and "it just works". and spotify has few competitors.

tv and movie streaming, however, is fractured and miserable. there was a minute where a single netflix made it better, but for the month cost of 2 streaming services I could get sickbeard and NZDB and watch whatever i want. then there is the "what service is $show on?" game, which you don't have to worry about with streaming.

and then there is 'owning' -- if you keep your pirated content you have it. meanwhile netflix or hulu can lose the rights and you don't get to see that show again.
Japan demonstrates charging electric vehicles while driving on a public road
I disagree. Electric cars are expensive but that's because there's not really a second hand market. You're paying new car prices. When you compare them to a new ICE car you're paying maybe £10-20k extra, but then you don't have to pay road tax (in the UK at least) or for expensive petrol. I expect they probably last longer too though that remains to be seen.

Overall I doubt a new electric car is more expensive than a new petrol car.
I skimmed (ctrl-f) the paper and didn't see a comparison against gpt-4. Anybody knows how they'd compare?
I think 1 IP address per human was short sighted. We ran out before the human population doubled. But I think a billion per human was someone liking powers of two, and nothing more. “Ipv5” with 48 bit addressing would have done pretty well. As 6 octets or 4 base 12. For humans you could reserve all ambiguous addresses and have about 50k times as many addresses while people sort themselves out. You could still be able to see at a glance that they were ipv5 addresses.

This is a false economy. On whom do you think the costs of climate change are disproportionately falling? We're already starting to see what the shutdown of local gasoline refining and distribution looks like; would you prefer they be stranded in increasingly expensive-to-operate vehicles with limited resale value instead?
If "defund the police" actually means "reform the police" then why not just say reform the police? And also why burn down police stations?

I think most people who want to "defund the police" plan to live in a place where the police haven't actually been defunded. "Defund the police" is a luxury belief.
First off, a lot of people jumped on the tiny home bandwagon in recent years, some seem to like them. Second, an ADU in a decent neighborhood would probably be a lot quieter than the various condo/townhouse/apartment options. Thirdly, it's not like they have to live in the ADU forever - if they could buy/sell it they'd actually have some equity built up for moving up to something bigger.

This is bullshit and lies.
Almost nothing has been built compared to the past. There are not mostly vacant luxury condos in downtowns.

As is this absolute canard "the real issue is affordability." Well obviously. But where does the unaffrodability come from? What gives landlords and home sellers the power to price far above average incomes?

It's a shortage of housing. If there was enough housing they simply could not price at unaffordable prices, because there would be no buyers.

The simple inability to see this is like some Jedi mind trick that landlords and real estate interests have played on the populace. We need to fully reject any ideology that has been saying that there's enough housing, because it's a bad and harmful ideology.

No, the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine would theoretically increase entire world production by 25% at most when running at maximum capacity. That's assuming, of course, that the indigenous tribes and environmental activists who hate the project don't win legally.
It's an odd political outcome, but serves as a model for other housing shapes.

The state defined specific things a city has to approve and a timeline they have to approve it in. Poof, we have ~100,000 new homes and a cottage industry building them that didn't exist beforehand. It's hard to blame the housing shortage on anything other than NIMBY municipalities.
The benefit of having cops vs your own thugs is that the cops don't get you in trouble when they kill somebody on your behalf
To elaborate: this would be a fine policy IFF it were accompanied by other legislation that meaningfully improved the affordability of non-ADU homes as well.

Never thought I'd see mention of Kary's and Savoie's roux on this site. Nice surprise.

I'm from south Louisiana and everyone in my family uses roux from a jar. Do yourself a favor and get the dry roux (without the oil). It doesn't go bad and makes a delicious gumbo.

Oh, and the thought of tomatoes in a gumbo is hideous and nasty. Don't do that.
Would that be a counterpoint to that movie I watched as a child, and the title of which escapes me, about a modern US aircraft carrier transported back in time to WWII and (IIRC) getting in a fight with Japanese planes?
> federal prosecutors in South Carolina, who in May 2019 filed criminal wire fraud charges against Golestan, alleging he’d orchestrated a network of shell companies and fake identities to prevent ARIN from knowing the addresses were all going to the same buyer.

So the sentence is for the "Scheme", not the "IP Address".

This is pretty unclear if you have only read the title.
In other words just not putting stamps at all, and the postal service would 'return' it to the address listed as return (which is actually your destination)?

Notice how Ford is only claiming $1BB? Mary Bara needs to go. No idea why they are rewarding her when that company's products have gone straight to shit. Check YouTube.

Ford has been aggressively rolling out massive fuel savings tech for years, decades. They are going strong toward what customers want and are willing to purchase...hybrid trucks. GM is always two steps behind trying to make fun of Ford trucks in theirs ads until they can half-heartedly roll out the same tech while somehow butchering it and alienating legacy customers.

Stallantis, just can't figure that company out. Their cars and trucks have had horrible quality and resale value and have now killed some of their strongest brands to all-in on electric vehicles. Their customer base is scowling and scrambling to snatch up what are becoming collectors cars.

Indeed, Ragnar Redbeard's philosophy [0] (Arthur Desmond) is worth a
read.

I dipped into it a bit in my study of ethics, and there's many eye
opening passages, though it's mostly a rehash of Nietzsche, minus the
compassion and good humour :)

Today it's regarded by some as a seed of "far right supremacist"
thinking. And sadly these ideas are confused with the work of Darwin
etc.

We should also note many historical counterparts, and remember that,
for example, the Greeks rewarded soldiers with "spoils" as payment.

I think what I'm saying about upholding the principle of Rule of Law
above the laws of foolish men is quite separate from this - although
when governments test their people to the point of rebellion it is
about the brute reality that might does not lie where it is supposed.

With all these restrictions, I begin to wonder: where is this “free market” economy that we so advocate to other countries? I get the need for regulations and restrictions, sure, but at some point, where is free in all of this? Also, do these sanctions even work on large, diversified economies? Eventually, the local substitutes will be developed and, at that point, it will cut off the (large) market for western companies.

Aside from a handful of pitched perfect games and Game 7 of the 1991 World Series?

IMO it's Go. It's simple enough that a child will spend more time learning how to hold a stone than the objective, but complex enough that concepts like playing a "divine move" can capture a Go player's fascination for an entire lifetime.

I take issue with this assertion, though:

"In the perfect game, you should still be in with a shot of winning even if you’re not as practised as your opponent. An element of uncertainty is required."

There are few games in life, very few pursuits in which you can remove skill or familiarity and be left with an entertaining test of anything. Maybe luck, which is why craps is the social game. But skill or familiarity? I don't think any sort of "game" exists like this that people take seriously.

Actually, for this train of thought, I maintain that betting on horses is as close to a perfect game as possible. All the research, backside knowledge and modeling might not pan out for you the same way it panned out for the thousands who bet Rich Strike in the 2022 Kentucky Derby because "the name sounded like it was going to pay."
Technically they are designed to solve next-word prediction.

It just turns out that good next-word prediction requires understanding the world.

(And you can equally view humans as "next word predictors" anyway.)
Except it doesn't really solve the problem.

You might as well just have whatever normal for-pay license. The reason it is an issue is that not just that it's not legitimate GPL (which is ethically wrong to me- it's literally stealing from a community).

The issue is that it splits up the repos which messes with the upgrade structure. That's fine until you get a security issue and the community can't collectively update to mitigate the issue until the people using the software have paid for their liceneses.

To your point about rebranding stuff, people do that but it's not discussed often in the community. Personally, I feel like white-labeling people software sounds like a community service.

But there really isn't any money in that and it's shunned by the community, so you get a lot of malware created (which is, once again, a problem created by the culture around selling GPL software as if it were closed-source).

Anyhow, other than a few large plugins, the people making real money in the space are doing custom work and leveraging the open source, which is the "real" solution and what folks are doing in other ecosystems as far as I can tell. There are plenty of folks making money off "commercial" WP plugins, but IME that's not the main source of income into the economy around WP.
We try, but Compensation Committees tie our hands (99% of the time it's for good reasons, but it's not fluid enough to help that 1% outlier you REALLY NEED).
I can't speak to the current organizational structure but historically there's Linus and a few others at the center (e.g, Greg KH) and then you have circles of trust extending out. Someone is the key person for subsystem A and they trust someone below them for driver or widget B and you're expected to pass your patches through these channels and by the time they make it to Linus's inbox you should have a branch/patch with commits that follow all the rules and are ready for a final QA inspection, essentially.

Sometimes people and corporations with enough clout manage to slip by the normal processes and this is the result.
Content creators (the ones that we actually hear about and make money off Youtube) are too addicted to the algorithm to even consider dropping Youtube. At most you'll find some of them hedging a bit and joining something like Nebula or Floatplane

I believe that we will have to adopt some guerrilla tactics to win this war: we need to make it clear to creators that they won't make any money if they continue using Youtube. More people using frontends is a start, making Sponsorblock a feature even better, and I'd say that we should even have to run some pirate Peertube instances to copy the content away.
Did he actually die, or conveniently “die”?
I guess it’s hard to know.
We don't advocate complex pricing models. KISS is often the best approach, although some complexity does have its place.

The real complexity comes from when you need to make changes to your pricing and have to manage grandparenting, upsells, etc.

Another vector of complexity comes from the need to make different pricing and packaging offers for different markets, geographies, etc.

You can have a very simple pricing model, but that doesn't mean that there isn't complexity that emerges pretty quickly.

We're not doing a salary verification so we don't make the new hire provide a bunch of data, aside answering questions about where you lived, when. We are doing a court record and criminal background check. When we have a problem 100% of the time the new hire has misrepresented themselves. We tell people exactly what the background check will discover, and we've even hired people who have disclosed issues prior to the check (nothing serious).
I don't know how much sway it has in this but didn't the W3C signal opposition to the WEI effort? And it's possible the antitrust lawsuits will have more influence on their audacity in this matter.
I wonder if using the rsync algorithm would also help? From looking at the state changes done in one CRDT in one machine and another, both states still share a lot of things in common. So to merge A in machine 1, with B in machine 2, you can rsync A to B in machine 2 without overwriting B, but just having to send the deltas. My understanding is that there are crdts that are able to send over just the operations done, but for simplicity, for a full state crdt, this might be easier and almost as efficient than a specific algorithm.
Sounds about right... maybe 1 out of 10 DnB MCs is amazing, but the rest are kind of intolerable in the exact same way.

For the price of an ADU in LA, you could probably buy a 4 bedroom SFH home in DFW. There is no need for ADUs in TX.
…is what you say if you’re a real estate speculator trying to distract from root causes. Housing affordability and homelessness are directly correlated:

> A large body of academic research has consistently found that homelessness in an area is driven by housing costs, whether expressed in terms of rents, rent-to-income ratios, price-to-income ratios, or home prices. Further, changes in rents precipitate changes in rates of homelessness: homelessness increases when rents rise by amounts that low-income households cannot afford. Similarly, interventions to address housing costs by providing housing directly or through subsidies have been effective in reducing homelessness. That makes sense if housing costs are the main driver of homelessness, but not if other reasons are to blame. Studies show that other factors have a much smaller impact on homelessness.

> We can make cars smaller, but people often find large cars more useful. (even though a small car is good enough for 99% of all trips, that last 1% makes it worth having the larger car. Renting is so expensive that even for the 1% trip it may still be cheaper to have the large car for everything)

Partially. But CAFE standards are based on a footprint model which has kept light trucks and SUVs cheaper for a given fuel efficiency standard than smaller cars. If you close the gap, I'm pretty sure consumers would change their behavior, at least somewhat.
Yes, think of it like this. Prices are super high. A house costs one dump truck full of money. The goal of a program like this is to create something that costs, say, half a dump truck of money instead of a whole dump truck. It's affordable, in a relative sense. Or less unaffordable if you prefer.

In normal circumstances (with prices that aren't super high), you wouldn't be able to call $610,000 affordable. But here, you can. So the bar is low. The label has loose criteria.
