I'm assuming of course we have some political control here. Just a walking robot was shamed out of existence [1]. So the public has some control over what is and isn't acceptable.

We don't need to accept lethal robots, but wholesale saying "no robotic equipment at all" will simply leave us in the logjam we have now between bad cops and zero enforcement.

ADB has the same physical connection as S-Video.

AppleTalk is the protocol, but LocalTalk was the RS-422 implementation, and Apple's first party implmentation used different cables from ADB.

But everyone I know used LocalTalk over "PhoneNet" adapters which used cheap RJ11 phone cable and were way cheaper overall.

This might be something you fear, maybe even legitimately, but it seems hyperbolic to assign an equivalence to your worst fear and the passion project of an individual who made this and probably does not have any of the nefarious intentions you default to attributing to anyone who could create something resembling it.
Yes, hash rates are sensitive to the price of energy. But the price of bitcoin is not inherently sensitive to the hash rate. The network adjusts the difficulty to ensure a constant production rate of bitcoin, so supply is not dependent on the hash rate, and miners do not buy bitcoin, so there is no reason for demand to be dependent on it.

So for any given bitcoin price, rational miners will hash until their cost to mine a bitcoin exceeds its price. If energy is cheap, miners will use more of it, if it's expensive, they will use less.

For someone pointing an awful lot of fingers and making a lot of extremely condescending accusations throughout this thread, I'm surprised you're offering this advice.

I work in the renewable power industry, and my father was a biologist who spent his career trying to mitigate the ecological disasters caused by my state's hydroelectric dams.

The link you've provided suggests that miners and hydroelectric providers could establish mutually beneficial economic partnerships. That hardly needs to be written; it's obvious. But I think if you polled the public on whether creating additional revenue streams for hydroelectric is a higher priority than reducing our overall energy demand -- well, do I even need to suggest what the results would be?

I've been wondering how long until someone comes up with a drop-in logic board for the classic iPods, now that the patents are dropping off. Not only is it the only part with no new replacements, but mobile parts have come a long way.

My biggest worry would be matching the smoothness of the interface - rockbox has been going at least since my iPod Mini was new, and it still doesn't feel right.

Well, most people's selves aren't anything that deserves to be paid well for being it. And a lot of people have crappy selves, especially those wanting to be "influencers".
That's the best explanation I have ever read! I even knew these things beforehand, nodding along, but now I can explain it also to someone else in a coherent way instead of rambling up implementation details like a madman.

Thanks!
Neither of the warring parties stands in opposition to genocide; both have both used the genocidal “no innocent civilians” argument in PR, and acted consistent with it.

This would be a tricky thing for the US to address on its own, but its made more complex by the fact that one of the genocidal warring parties is also acting as a proxy for a foreign power who is also waging a proxy war on multiple fronts against the US, and their actions (while it would be oversimplifying to call them merely a part of it) are not disconnected from that proxy war.
Several years ago, new KitKat phones were being dumped at the nearby dollar store for $9 each. I bought 3 - One for me and 2 for the kids. We have never used them as phones, but they are great as mp3 players. I run with mine about an hour each day. Since it's in airplane mode, the original battery is like new.
What's the incentive to create it without something like Bitcoin mining, which can be deployed practically anywhere with an energy source and internet connection, to balance out the costs of doing so? Even if there are better uses, if we can't transport the energy now then it's pointless to build new stranded energy sources. Bitcoin provides the incentive to start that development now. Maybe in the future, batteries will offer a better use of the energy, and won't we be glad to have the existing energy source as soon as that happens?

One of my favorites amongst this stupid platforms is PayPal. I have moved countries/continents. Once I forgot to close my account before moving (still had some $100 on it), after I could never access it as it wanted a phone call to my non existent former phone number to confirm this is really me, ok my fault. Now I have moved again when I want to pay with PayPal I can't because my account is associated to a different country. It is impossible to change the country. The FAQ say you have to close and reopen a new account), but if I try to close the account I get to an error page. This would all be not so bad if it wasn't for the merchants who use PayPal and disallow payment without an account. In the end the easiest was to just open a new account with a different email.

Somebody mentioned Google services, and that was a big issue as well. I still have bank accounts in my former country of residence, so I need access to apps from that country (the 2fa App that is used there). On the other hand I need to access some apps here (school notifications, banks...) Google obviously knows better than to allow me to get apps from different regions. The solution was again to just create another account. The whole system is really screwed up. I'm not sure what they are actually trying to prevent, considering that in the end one can work around the restrictions quite easily with multiple accounts, but one would think with the world moving closer together these things would actually get easier.
> what happens when you hit a dead end and need to backtrack? Do you just throw out hours and hours of work and try again?

Yes, the Gepard platform has been a real success. Gepard has been most effective defending high value fixed assets from simple minded long range UAVs and cruise missiles.

When dealing with Orlan-10 however, the problem is different. Here you must defend mobile forces, close the the front from observation and attack UAVS that are remotely piloted. It's a whole different problem and there will never be enough Gepards and Gepard crews to sweep the skies of Orlan-10, and if there were they would become targets themselves.
I wish someone performed a large scale experiment to evaluate all these alternate architectures. I kind of feel that they get drowned out by new sota results from openai and others. What I wish is something that tries to see if emergent behaviors pop up with enough data and parameters.

Maybe vision is special enough that convnets and approache transformer level performance or it could be generalized to any modality.

> By that logic, any use of electricity is a sink for power, which is ridiculous logic.

It isn't though. If you're using electricity for heat in the winter and generation is low for a few contiguous days, you can't just turn off everybody's heat. They'd freeze. But you could certainly stop mining Bitcoin for a week out of the year if the cost of electricity that week was high enough to make it unprofitable.

The problem with renewables isn't that they only generate power a small fraction of the time. It's that they generate power most of the time, but most of the time doesn't work for things that need power all of the time. So having things that can consume power most of the time, and thereby fund that amount of generating equipment, allows that consumption to be turned off so that extra generating equipment can service the things that need power all of the time when there is low generation supply.

You can't fully solve this problem with cryptocurrency, but it's because there isn't enough cryptocurrency -- cryptocurrency mining would have to be on the order of half of the power grid on a typical day, which is not going to happen. But it's a thing that can help rather than hurt to the extent that it exists.

The real problem is that we don't price carbon, so then people mine Bitcoin by burning coal. But they also run lights and computers and elevators by burning coal, which is just as bad and has the same solution.

Curious what sort of level you are, if your company does that?

I have wondered whether the ageism thing is partially related to younger people being a lottery ticket in terms of talent+commitment level. The company might get lucky and hire someone who is way overpowered but currently under leveled because they have not yet had time to reach their terminal seniority level. This ends up being a great bargain for the company. Whereas with established people it’s a bit more you get what you pay for.

> Stopping crime by stopping money laundering will always have these problems, surely?

Yes.

Money laundering detection inescapably relies on private actors making a pre-prosecution estimate of whether money was earned illegitimately.

Private actors have much less information available to them than real law public sector enforcement.

And even with full information, trials cannot be predicted deterministically so there will always a gap those publicly deemed guilty and those privately deemed guilty.

Those in later category will suffer unjust financial hardship.
Maybe they've worked out some sort of precommitment to prevent that, or he put poison pills into his will or something.
>is only a medium level severity ticket and with no one assigned

There are likely internal issues for the actual bugs.
I hope their Trust & Security team has a roadmap that prioritizes topic and thread-jacking. The advent of GPT and their recent changes to creator compensation has created a massive drive for engagement by any means; the results are fairly predictable. Clicking on any trending topic usually surfaces completely unrelated videos with that topic's hashtags (and all of the other trending topic hashtags) appended to the tweet.

Then you have the "content creators" who use GPT to summarize or add details to a post from a larger content aggregator in hopes of bandwagoning engagement. I see a lot of this type of behavior from popular History-focused accounts and the mega-accounts that post engagement bait content (think canned, "desert island"-type questions and polls). It's less malicious but certainly reinforces cynicism towards the state of Twitter/X and the broader social web.

libC is an extremely leaky abstraction. Programming to it assumes you have a runtime that supports constructor functions, POSIX errno and locale, a global heap allocator singleton, and more. The design space of _Hello World_ is massively constrained by libC.
Proving legality of transformations in the compiler is frequently impossible. Consequently, the main mode of implementation has been to essentially think of the problems in terms of the user saying that this loop is parallel, please make it run in parallel. OpenMP or Rust's rayon crate, for example. The other similar innovation has been programming SIMD as if each lane were an independent thread, which is essentially the model of ispc or CUDA (or #pragma omp simd, natch).

The other big impossible task is that most code isn't written to be able to take advantage of theoretical autoparallelization--you really want data to be in struct-of-arrays format, but most code tends to be written in array-of-struct format. This means that vectorization cost model (even if proven, whether by user assertion or sufficiently smart compiler, legal) sees it needs to do a lot of gathers and scatters and gives up on a viable path to vectorization really quickly.
Array languages, such as APL and others, tend to be easily parallisable given primitives tend to focus on intent and how to transform data rather than imperative operations.

Some of the SIMD operations feel very reminicent of APL primitives

? The person I was replying to mentioned "not an organism that can react to the threat," which I took to mean a bacterium or virus. The former of which is definitely alive, and the latter debatably so.

What I was trying to convey is that your immune system regularly responds to things that are not active invading organisms. Peanut butter is organic, sure, but it's not a living creature that your body needs to shut down. Doesn't stop some people's immune systems from firing up regardless.

Hence also: "it would be interesting to be evaluate whether the antibodies actually have an effect"—allergies are one way that antibodies can have an effect against an otherwise inert/harmless substance.

There are countries where students are not charged tuition (or, if tuition is charged, it is meagre) and there overhead from grants is most definitely seen as important revenue.
Here is a somewhat related anecdote:

I don't know if all Android version do this by default, the one on my phone does: Whenever it connects to an AP, it generates a new random Fake-MAC. So, it's not a per-SSID permanent MAC, but a new one on each reconnect.

Now, at Bahrein Airport the WiFi coverage is somewhat spotty. Due to this you have lots of devices reconnecting. And each time they register with a new MAC.

The DHCP server behind their WiFi has a least time of 14 days. And even with them having chosen a /16 IP range for their DHCP, at an airport you can already imagine that those limits are not clever.

And even worse: The system is self-DDoS'ing. This is because every time a phone connects, and the DHCP server has run out of IPs, after a couple of seconds the phone will disconnect, and then try to reconnect - with ANOTHER random MAC address.

The solution I used myself (and showed to a couple of other people in the lounge was) was disabling the privacy feature. This way your MAC would stay the same. You then would keep hammering the AP until one of the thousands of leases had timed out and a IP was available again. You'd then get this IP, and due to your MAC staying constant having reconnects to it (for example because you went to the toilet) also aren't a problem.

So, let this be a lesson to those administrating large public WiFis: Now that devices use random MAC addresses, consider to make your DHCP pool larger, and the lease time much shorter. Unless you are Tom Hanks, you would not typically stay 14 days in an airport terminal. :)
That was my first thought, too. My ideas was to make the plastic UV-curable so it would become rigid and not require inflation. I looked it up, and that's what they're doing - UV-curable ribs.

If you could implement a perfect global tax system, a high tax on energy used specifically for mining would be a good solution. Proof of work is designed to force miners to spend a given amount per bitcoin mined, and it doesn't matter whether that amount is spent on energy or taxes, so the tax would not actually cause any economic cost to miners.

Unfortunately, such a scheme would highly incentivize cheaters, or countries opting out of the tax collection.
