I rarely get spam in my inbox, if at all, but I also never sign up for newsletters nor give airlines, grocery stores, etc. my e-mail address.

I get spam messages once in a blue moon on my iPhone (specifically, on iMessage, I get recipients with a string of random letters ending in gmail.com). Ironically, it's ALWAYS a gmail.com or hotmail.com address. Funny how the overwhelming majority of spam I can remember comes from Gmail and Outlook, both of which love sending everyone else's messages straight into the spam tray, despite having DKIM + DMARC set up, static IP not on any Spamhaus blocklist, etc.
WHY on earth would a frog get boiled if you slowly increased the temperature?
For me it was all about listening to a lot of people talking in English, memorizing the exact sounds and pronunciation. And then reading books out loud everyday. It helps that I have a very good ear, but it should work for anyone.
Prison workers is even worse - their incentive is to have more prisoners.
> To the degree that it is true, it might be because the fact that the person was put into a position of authority is taken as an indication that the person probably earned that authority, so is taken as a prior for their credences regarding that person. Also, respect doesn’t necessarily imply obedience or subservience.

Seems like a weak prior to me, as people are very frequently put into positions of authority despite not deserving it. To be fair, I think I would also start with such a prior, I would just weight it very weakly and would expect the person's behaviour and decision making to live up to the position they have been given.
> Sorry to break it to you, but you didn't take math classes. You took classes of the discipline taught in high school under the homonymous name "math". There is a big difference.

If you look at the comments below, you’ll see that this can’t be strictly true. At least, not 20+ years ago in Australia when I was a student. Some of the courses I took were in the math faculty with students who were going on to become mathematicians. At that time this would have been a quarter load of a semester, and was titled “Linear Algebra”, but I can’t remember if it was 1st/2nd or even 3rd year subject (it’s been too long).

Perhaps the lack of emphasis on proofs (I am not saying proofs were absent, I made another comment with more explanation), was a combination of these being introductory courses, the universities knowledge that there were more than just math faculty students taking them, or changes with time in how the pedagogy has evolved.

What is more interesting to me, is what do you think a student misses out on, from a capability point of view, with an applications focused learning as opposed to one focused on reading and writing proofs?

Would a student who is not intending to become a mathematician still benefit from this approach? Would a middle aged man who was taught some “Linear Algebra” benefit from picking up a book such as the one referenced here?
It wouldn't be the first time they occupy Gaza but the war is a short term measure. Long term they need to transfer the control to the PLO or an Arab coalition.
biglots is horrible about this. I have unsubscribed MULTIPLE times and I keep getting emails. Now marked as spam
My personal mailserver works just fine with some rudimentary anti-spam measures (mostly manual filter lists).
Interesting. Based on what I see I don’t understand why anyone would buy it. It looks painful to use because it’s too small.
No way to confirm, but I think so, just because NPM threw this error at me:

KV GET failed: 401 Unauthorized

where KV could refer to the CF KV in workers
Because, unlike Meta and Alphabet of the time, they were the first to give us access to this secret technology. They threw open the doors and the other guys had to follow, and Meta eventually went farther. But they opened the doors. Seems fine to me.
My friend,
it is quite literally the goverment's job to decide what is right or wrong through drafting and enacting laws.

I am not stating that having to inform the government when you're training models is right. It's an asinine way of thinking by people who have no idea what they're talking about and are severely out of touch. The laws they've enacted were based on fear, often propagated by OpenAI themselves. It is still their job to do that though.
They seem to be back up!
It's not because I want something that I actually need something. I've wanted to build a UPS with lithium batteries for a while, my ads are all BMS, lithium cells, etc... This is definitely good for advertiser, but as one of the "people", all I see are hard-to-resist ads.

AliExpress is especially good at this for maker gear, I'll look at a reflow station and they will spend the next 6 months showing me reflow station ads until I cave and buy it, even though it is a purely frivolous purchase.

Personalized ads are extremely effective when your profile is good, but that does not mean that I don't see it as a bad thing.
This makes me legit tear-up, it's such a good idea. Best mashup of technologies I've seen in a while.
I don't know if it's rude or not, but it does very effectively discourage me from talking to people while they're wearing them.
Same, but that's because all the other hundreds of pages of spam got filtered away already.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gmail spam is higher-effort (like those individual SMS spam apps that politicians use) but higher-breakthrough.
People say this shit all the time without considering that others might not use Facebook in the same way they do.

Yeah, I could force my friends to call me every time they want to grab dinner, but that would be annoying for everyone involved and not respectful of how they want to communicate.
Perhaps they wanted you to see that someone was trying to spoof you. They should have a better way of doing that though :/
How old are you? Major consensus among youngsters is that there is no such thing as "serving your country".
> Your body reaches the peak in your 20s.

Citation needed. Plenty of people only reach their physical peak at 35+. It's not too late!

> You have to accept it and move on

No, you don't. You can bounce back, but it requires effort. All I can say is it's better to learn early than when you are 65+ and just had major surgery that you need to bouce back from if you want to keep living a normal life.
It's not clear to me how this is any different than before? Most of my spam that I actually see already has all those things (valid DKIM, one-click unsubscribe link, and a rate limit per sender).

If you really want to fix email spam, create a micro-payments system. One cent for every email you send, the user has two options after they open the email: mark it as spam and keep the penny, mark it as legit and give the penny back. If they don't act on it within a week you get your penny back.

Legit senders won't be harmed because they will get their pennies back, spammers won't be able to afford sending messages anymore. The real interesting part would be stuff like LinkedIn notifications -- if people find them useful they'd give the penny back, but companies would have to decide how many people might actually find it useful for their cost analysis.
> I don't think I need to go into the senseless rules that govern our lives and social interactions, because the 'rules and order' people won't see them

Maybe those from our own culture. There are “rules and order” people in every culture, but the rules are different.

One other effect of this fact is that we (e.g. me) recognize who the rules-and-order people are based on how they follow our society’s rules. In another culture, we may peg someone as a free-thinker, only to find out that they are very conservative, just conservative in a way we don’t recognize. We have to recognize what rules people care about in a culture before we can really identify which people care about “the rules”.
don't forget the manchaca (now menchaca as it should have been the whole time!) being said as "man-CHAK".

That tweet is very measured, mealy-mouthed millennial speak that's mildly approving. Social media account managers for activist groups have a tendency to amplify edginess, the heightening of passions is part of the job. But that sort of rhetoric is unlikely to be universal to all unions, and the point is if you don't like your union making such speak, you still have a voice to counteract it, just as you would if your company was engaged in a PR marketing campaign whose tenor you disagree with.

> I have family from eastern Europe that are still recovering from the "experimentation" that went on in the USSR.

We're talking about an industry that has been almost wholeheartedly scoffing at the idea of unions for decades. To suggest Kickstarter United is Finland Station is laughable.

Agreed that software co-ops are something that should be attempted more. In fact, the presence of FOSS projects, hacker collectives, and the like would suggest that programmer self-governance is already popular in this industry. There is a very bottom-up, autonomy-focused culture in many aspects of software. Even the idea of quitting your pointy-headed boss to build your own startup is arguably in the same spirit.

I'd go as far as saying that to attempt a software union is in the same spirit- as unionization has declined so much in the U.S. over past decades, let alone never been attempted in tech until recent years- it is an underdog, grassroots cause. Very far from the bureaucratic Kafka entity that anti-union critics like to invoke- this industry is so very far from such a leviathan!

And remember, it was a labor union that ended the USSR's grip on Poland, leading to sweeping changes across the Eastern Bloc...
Don’t know if they’d suit your requirements but I’ve been pretty happy with N26.
It may not be relevant. What if I want ro pyt up a stock photo with a blog post. What benefit does knowing whether it was generated by multiplying matrices have to my audience? All I see it doing is increasing my costs.
So me and my compatriot Sherlock have concurred that the problem here is nobody is responding to the actual prompt here. I said more or less that I wondered if there have been any analyses done on the specific concept of being obsessed with a letter of the alphabet as it relates to Musk's context and also I am being a bit reductive in my summary here but I feel like I'm not doing it injustice because there's a bit of a rhetorical fire that needs to lit to help get a proper response to this inquiry that so far has only yielded maybe like 2 passable responses

Behavior can be analysed and parsed. Nobody is asking for anyone to rediagnose or diagnose at all. I'm asking if people who make their livelihood analysing other's behavior can do exactly that using Mr Musk's Twitter-related behavior as input and can it be intelligibly explained , not that Mr Musk's and/or his behavior needs to show up and lay on a divan and pour its heart out and waive therapist-patient privilege so they can stream the session on YT like some cosmetic surgeons/dermatologists do.

Are we gonna respond to written things or should we skip that pesky part and just rave about all the misconceptions we want to righteously pursue for points?
Because it's monopoly money or something man, I don't know.
I agree.

I remember spending significant effort on a creative essay in highschool. I had been a high performance, motivated student who was willing to jump through every hoop and do the work.

My english teacher took the essay, gave it a C.

I asked them for clarification about the logic of how they gave me the grade. They simply couldn't answer. There was no explanation. It seemed to me that they just picked a random grade out of a hat and couldn't explain why (probably more than likely).

My teacher blew up and accused me of "grade grubbing."

At that point I realized that the grading criteria was arbitrary, probably based on how they felt and if they like you personally and decided that school didn't matter since there was no actual standard for grading.

I never recovered my ability to care about school and stropped trying.

My reasoning was: "Well...if I try really hard and do all the work, they will give me a random grade based on how they feel anyways so this is a waste of time."

It was entirely a disagreement and disrespect for institutional authority.

Likewise, I have had constant struggles with VPs and Directors and CEOs I have worked with, challenging them on their behavior and lack of analysis, strategy, deep thinking.

Pretty much I need to work for myself, it is usually only a matter of time.

God help you if you try to tell me what to do from an authority position and I don't agree with your plan. I just start fighting with people, can't stand it.
I'd take the false positives, personally. If someone really needs to reach me and doesn't get to me on the first try, they usually just email or text back and go "Hey, did you get my email?". Or, just quickly skim through the spam folder once a week.
> What you seem to miss out on is the same people that leave their ear dangles in also don't offer those social queues and the ones they do offer are ambiguous.

I've noticed this as well. Maybe I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable trying to talk to people wearing them if they gave the same cues people who aren't wearing them give -- but I can't remember ever seeing that happen.
The 412? As in the Pittsburgh area?
I have recently (within the last 18 months) started riding a motorcycle. Motorcycle gear is hard to find at retail, which I think is pretty common with niche activities at this point. Two Internet sites (in the US at least) dominate that sector, and turns out they're both owned by the same firm: CycleGear and RevZilla.

The former DOES have retail stores, but the latter does not. The sites are now similar, but the feel is better at RevZilla, so that's MOSTLY where I search and buy. I fully expected the customer service to suck either way, though, given that they have effectively no competition.

tl;dr? I was wrong.

Last year, as it got cooler, I realized I needed a heavier moto jacket. I bought one, but the fit was wrong, and the fit was wrong in a way that made it clear that just going down a size wasn't going to solve the problem. Merlin jackets are just not shaped like Ubermonkey, turns out. I called RZ to arrange a return, and was ON THE PHONE WITH A REAL HUMAN IN LIKE 6 MINUTES.

And this real human set me up with a return label immediately, and then asked if he could help me figure out a replacement. He knew the product lines they carried, and understood the styles I wanted, and suggested a brand I didn't know but immediately clicked with. They credited me immediately for the return (before I got off the phone) so at no point was I technically paying them for two jackets, even.

I was stunned. Customer service is not dead.

(I looked it up: RevZilla was conceived in 2007 as an online provider; CycleGear has always been brick & mortar. The RZ founder and a PE group formed a holding company in 201 to own & operate both businesses separately. I suspect the fact that an RZ founder is still fundamentally in charge is why the RZ service is so good.)
Or they realize its not a productive strategy.

I'm usually the first to notice and verbalize that someone with authority is a useless sociopath and things are going to turn out badly.

This is never a remotely optimal strategy.

Can't tell if other people see it, but realize they can't do anything about it and that talking about it is only going to be negative, or if they're really unaware (or just keep it in a "subconscious" unexamined box because they know that opening it up won't be useful).

I'm generally shit at politics, although from time to time I've been able to figure out how to fake it.
As a non-native speaker, I was interested in learning the perfect British accent. Turns out there is no such thing. There are many different accents, but none of them is the default.

"Received pronunciation" [1] probably comes closest, but apparently it makes you sound like someone who is a non-native speaker and who tried to learn a default accent.

The largest VOD services stopped using H.264 in any meaningful way or only as a last resort, bandwidth is just too expensive to justify using it. Even phones in third world countries include VP9 and HEVC hw decode, it's rare to run into someone who can only play H.264 unless you are walking in sub-Saharan Africa.
Yes, you can, but people don't like it. There's classic Wiremold, but put that in a house and the value drops. There is an exposed plumbing as an aesthetic thing, but it's not popular.[1]

Ha... this works better than I thought it would... maybe I will finally be able to pronounce "Squirrel"... but probably not.
I once had to patch some broken pavement for insurance during mid December when it was 38 F out. After some research and speaking to a friend I covered the wet concrete with a trash bag and placed an old cargo blanket on top for insulation secured with a sheet of plywood weighted down with rocks. Cured just fine and ins agent was happy.
Let me hit you with the extra spicy take - since the department doesn't really produce business value anyway, taking the system offline for a week would have dropped the bill to 0 and been the greatest possible cost saving.

Yes, management would have killed me, but I would have been absolved at the Pearly Gates.
> It's to incentivize large commercial and political interests to disclose their usage of generative AI.

You would be okay allowing small businesses exception from this regulation but not large businesses? Fine. As a large business I'll have a mini subsidiary operate the models and exempt myself from the regulation.

I still fail to see what the benefit this holds is. Why do you care if something is generative? We already have laws against libal and against false advertising.
There's "criticism" and there's "abuse", and copy/pasting the same message to hundreds on Twitter posts is "abuse".

This kind of attitude is why politicians seem to slowly skew more towards over-confident aggressive brash loudmouths who are very good at shouting and dealing with an endless stream of abuse, rather than the actual business of running things.
Cement is well known for requiring gasoline for the smoothest pours.
Aye that's what I meant, if you're happy with ingressRoute you've probably got a longer migration clock than just Ingress as traefik has an additional vested interest in keeping it working. It might even be able to be re-implemented into a gatewayClass without changes.
You didn't make an exception for school, nor did the comment you replied to. The only exception they cited was church and you didn't add any yourself until now. And why is school an exception to you, but work is not? Both are places people "have to be", places where people go to do something other than flirt and where they might feel trapped in a social situation they can't easily get out of. How is "my coworker asked me out twice but I still have to work with him" different from "my co-student asked me out twice but I still have to go to class with him"?

There's no meaningful difference here, particularly if you're a grad student. But I guess you'll now say that undergrads are allowed to ask somebody twice, but grad students must not ask more than once? Or maybe you'll just insult me and tell me to be miserable quietly like other people in this discussion already have.
I kind of assume that it’s because he’s desperate for attention, even negative attention, tbh. Note that every time talk about him dies down, he does something else stupid.

I wouldn’t be _amazed_ if the “woke mind virus” stuff is just because he’s found that the people who are into that tend to be easily led and into hero worship (I’m convinced that this is why transphobia got so popular with has-been British celebs a few years back; they’re rewarded with hero worship from this crowd). I would wonder how much of this he actually believes, or indeed if he has any beliefs beyond “people should talk about me all the time.”
If you like this kind of thing, "The Missing Cryptoqueen" is an enjoyable podcast.
I believe that Logo was created as an introduction to programming for kids though there may be better alternatives now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)
Hijacking the thread: I do some "bulk" sending for a 501(c)3 I volunteer for. I include unsubscribe links that go to a form with a submit button (because I want the unsubscribe to be a POST request). Each link has a random opaque identifier in the query string. Something like:

hxxp://example.com/unsubscribe?id=abcd1234

A couple years ago I noticed that MSFT IPs hitting my unsubscribe links with invalid identifiers on the quest string. Anybody ever seen that?
This is my impression too. I briefly used emails from a domain I own to my gmail account as a way to send myself "notifications". My impression was that absolute table stakes to even make e-mail deliver work AT ALL were:

- non residential IP (I had to proxy through my VPS)
- SPF
- DKIM
- use TLS with a modern cipher

And even with this, I still had to "favorite" (or whatever) AND set up a rule to "never send to spam" for my alerts@ sender address because I would still get them going to spam for no reason that I could find - I'd check the message and would see that SPF and DKIM PASSED and yet it was still going to spam.

I ended up switching to using webhooks to send alerts to a discord channel for a server that only had me in it. It works fine. It's a lot more surefire than trying to figure out email delivery
Neat! I have the previous Zero 2 model and it has great build quality.
I'd be curious about how big the model is. The loading time could be quite long. I suppose with caching, it won't be a big deal after the first run, though.
Cool product! How does this compare to (e.g.) dolt, which is pitched as 'git for data'?
It should be one-time, yes. Maybe it shouldn't be rare though. But your point still stands as the TXT records should be ephemeral. So I don't think this deserves the downvotes.

At least ACME's DNS challenge protocol is designed this way.

> The client SHOULD de-provision the resource record(s) provisioned for this challenge once the challenge is complete, i.e., once the "status" field of the challenge has the value "valid" or "invalid".

The benefit is that your audience knows whether it's a real picture of a thing that exists in the world. I wouldn't argue that's a particularly large benefit - but I don't see why labeling generated images would be a particularly large cost either.
Interesting idea. I quite like in terms of the theory behind pronunciation Geoff Lindsay’s YouTube channel [1]. He does a similar thing featuring snippets demonstrating certain ideas - I’ve often wondered how he finds them, perhaps using something like this!

> Are these jokes?

It would seem they are, yes.
> Nobody needs that GPU [..]

Can you expand on this? Is the hardware too slow, too power hungry, or just badly supported? At least coming from ARM there must be some hardware documentation on how they work. I mean, it can't be worse than Broadcom's all-proprietary GPUs.
As an American, I've always wished "tosser" would catch on in American English.
You got me wondering. What happens to trademarks that are no longer in active use?

Since Musk is obviously throwing away the Twitter trademark, does he eventually lose control over it and someone else just take it and start using it.
