Ouch. Marta literally answers a get-rich-quick ad, then installs a program that lets a fraudster remotely control her computer to send money to a bitcoin exchange account that was opened in her own name (requiring her own ID documents to do so), and then send the bitcoins onwards the "investing" platform.

> The CRM Code did not cover this type of transaction, because the payments Marta made from her bank account were sent to an account held in her own name with the crypto exchange. However, outside of the CRM Code, banks have other fraud prevention obligations – including to look out for unusual transactions.

In other words although there's a document saying what a bank should try to do, that is actually meaningless because the regulator believes banks should somehow stop all fraud even in cases where people are literally giving random strangers total control over their bank account, deliberately, because they can't be bothered understanding how to operate their own financial accounts.

The cherry on top:

> If you invest in a firm which isn’t authorised by the FCA, you risk losing your money, without any protection.

Apparently not, because if some civil servant thinks you are pitiable and the scam was convincing, they'll force the bank (i.e. other customers) to make you whole again anyway.

IBM had had a "Linux/open source friendly" strategy since the early 2000s. Remember that ad with the Eminem-looking kid they named "Linux", and they were like "he's learning"? That's how they came to acquire Red Hat, by leaning into the "we're totally besties with open source" narrative.

"Minimum focus distance of Approx. 14.1 ft. / 4.3 m. "

Which is conveniently able to be measured by taking the distance from the camera mount to the end of the lens, then doubling it! However, at least this is "affordable" enough to have a price listed. The Leica lenses I was referring to has the "oh boy, this is going to be expensive" infamous Find a Dealer button. Also, it's a set of 11 lenses, and for nearly double the price, they add in a few more wide angles and a few more telephoto lenses to the kit.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

This situation creates a market for new fraud-detection products, if anything just so that the banks can tell the regulator that they did their due diligence. Of course it depends on how common situations like Marta's are, and how expensive they are for the banks.
Is it still "private" as in you have to request access?

It's right there in the paper/article
"The algorithm learned to do modular addition can be fully reverse engineered. The algorithm is roughly: Map inputs x , y → cos ( w x ) , cos ( w y ) , sin ( w x ) , sin ( w y ) with a Discrete Fourier Transform, for some frequency w Multiply and rearrange to get cos ( w ( x + y ) ) = cos ( w x ) cos ( w y ) − sin ( w x ) sin ( w y ) and sin ( w ( x + y ) ) = cos ( w x ) sin ( w y ) + sin ( w x ) cos ( w y )

By choosing a frequency w = 2 π n k we get period dividing n, so this is a function of x + y ( mod n ) Map to the output logits z with cos ( w ( x + y ) ) cos ( w z ) + sin ( w ( x + y ) ) sin ( w z ) = cos ( w ( x + y − z ) ) - this has the highest logit at z ≡ x + y ( mod n ) , so softmax gives the right answer. To emphasise, this algorithm was purely learned by gradient descent! I did not predict or understand this algorithm in advance and did nothing to encourage the model to learn this way of doing modular addition. I only discovered it by reverse engineering the weights"

Yes it learned the algorithm. You're wrong. It's okay to be wrong but insisting you're right after clear evidence of the former is very strange.

I'm not being arrogant. You're being obtuse.
I never bothered with the myQ bit and instead sacrificed one of the garage door opener remotes by wiring the button up to a relay (z-wave by Zooz) that I zip tied to the scaffold. It's worked great for the past 4 years in Home Assistant.
Which Windows or Linux systems have discrete-class GPUs that can address up to 128 GB of RAM on a laptop, or 192GB for a desktop?

I assume for a VRAM-heavy workflow, a Mac might be a good choice, and considering that the M3 Max benchmarks close to the laptop 4080 you’ve basically got the second best laptop SKU on the market with dramatically better power and battery life figures.

If you care even a little bit about overall portability Apple is offering a product that you can’t buy from anyone else at any price. Considering that something like 80% of PC sales are laptops that’s no joke.

I haven’t had an employer issue me a desktop PC since 2012.
I'm not taking that position, quite. But I'm not seeing much contrition for it being that way the first time around, or sophisticated evaluation of why it was, or a plan for how to improve it in the future. Without those I think the hope that it'll improve in these ways is simply naive.
Just like how contacting the CEO of GitHub when Github goes down almost every week, have your tried contacting the CEO of OpenAI this time? /s

As the article says:

Here the focus is on developing products or applications that carry out safety functions. Like the automotive certification, we’ve also gone for the highest level of risk reduction and qualified it at SIL4.

Apparently [1] the SIL standard is used in at least the process control, nuclear, mechanical, and railway industries. Not sure about medical or aerospace.

Sorry yes, this comment is correct

As do the original commenter. Agoraphobia may be a better word in both cases.
It worked for a long while, and things only got bad after a lot of changes from the original rules.

Changes were clearly necessary because SO became too large. So, I'm not sure there was an alternative besides staying small. (Maybe that's the answer.)

I was on the (Lemmy) fediverse for a few months, selfhosted instance, a lot of comments and post, kept one niche community from Reddit alive over there. It’s pretty much worse than Reddit in most ways. Most small communities don’t exist, small-ish communities get all the assholes big subs have on reddit, because so many people browse all instead of subscribed and post on anything (literally. I had a meta community on my single user instance where I’d just log some descisions and had people vote & comment on those).

You have the power mods issue, only far worse, because they are vastly more powerful now that they control whole instances.

Then you have all the fascists who claim they are leftists but are actually just "anything Anti-USA is amazing". They also run major instances.

I ended up deleting my instance, returning to Reddit (and simply using it from desktop only, and regularly delete my content), and the quality of discourse is already so much better again. I did create an account on beehaw and treat it as unfederated (only subscribing to local communities), the people there can be a bit strange, and there’s not a huge amount of content, but at least they aren’t as bad as the rest of the Lemmy fediverse.
The problem is that CBP is enforcing Apple’s desire to prevent people from importing used Apple products (or new items that compete with what Apple sells). Neither activity is actually illegal, but CBP has vast powers that are not constrained by the normal domestic legal process and Apple had found a way to maximally abuse CBP’s powers
Having read the whole article I wanted to reply but know most of HN would not, so needed a recap to reply to you. Yes, recap was by Claude 2 100k because it's a long article and it types faster than I do. :-)

Now:

> What creates the incentive so that one group become larger than the other? things do not happen in a vaccum, only in this paper I guess. or "endogenously" which might be their code word for "i don't want to investigate who paid for this".

You don't need conspiracy to explain the "endogenous" results of democratic processes. They go like this.

> Now, the question I wanted to pose is: why 4 papers in this month alone held this obviously flawed argument, using wikipedia NPOV case as their case study?

Because (a) like 12 people work in academia and they're all at the same conference, and (b) how tenure works.

It's not a conspiracy so much as a "that guy talking about that idea by the punchbowl is going to get credit, I should do that and also get credit" lack of creativity. I think I also used the word "groupthink" above.
It's appalling to treat drinking water reservoirs as hostile structures, when the population is already suffering with lack of drinking water.

They did a good job of rebuking the evidence given for justify the targeting in first place, showing it was flimsy. The burden of proof to justify leveling crowded hospitals lies with who is dropping the bombs. In this case, it shows clearly the evidence given was flimsy. After the Iraq WMD "evidence" fiasco, we should know better, to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

A social-first Internet makes sense but this is not going to be the way people do it. Let’s consider some models for rewarding content authors:

1. You are asked to pay before viewing the content. This incentivizes content owners to display clickbait titles but does not incentivize content quality. People will click through lots of interesting titles and have a hard time finding out the valuable ones.

2. You are asked to pay after viewing the content. This is similar to a donation - just look at the state of open-source software. Only a few geeks who understand the value of donation will pay.

3. You are asked to pay a subscription fee upfront, and the fee is split between all content owners that you did read. If you view YouTube, have you signed up for YouTube Premium? Why not? Do you trust YouTube not to hold your videos hostage and pay only a tiny bit of revenue to uploaders?

In short: no.

Longer: In theory, but it'll require a bunch of glue and using multiple models depending on the specific task you need help with. Some models are great at working with code but suck at literally anything else, so if you want it to be able to help you with "Do X with Y" you need to at least have two models, one that can reason up with an answer, and another to implement said answer.

There is no general-purpose ("FOSS") LLM that even come close to GPT4 at this point.
Ah yes, the noble bigotry argument.
Historically that's never, ever lead to disaster.
They have those, lots of them. It doesn't matter if the regulator will take a stance like "we think (with the benefit of hindsight) it looked suspicious, so pay up". And unfortunately this is a very common thing for regulators to do. A lot of money laundering fines against big banks are like this. A civil servant comes in five years later after being handed some evidence that some transactions were criminal, says the bank should have known (without explaining how) and levies huge fines or gets a huge settlement.
Domain-Specific Code Generation: How We Designed a System for Data Science
But they're just actuated by radio signaling with some standard protocols, right? I mean, I don't have a garage and in this city probably never will, but my car still came from the factory garage-door controls built into the rear-view mirror. I assume it would take a bit of configuration to work with any given receiver, but I also infer it would work with most, otherwise they wouldn't have built it that way.

Is it hard to find an "IR blaster" equivalent for this kind of signaling? I'm just bewildered to understand why someone with the focus on self-hosted infrastructure that Home Assistant implies can still end up in a position where a third-party API restriction can pose a problem in controlling a locally installed device.
We continue to put responsibility on the government to fix our problems, when many of them nowadays are societal and cultural. You can't slap on a law to fix immorality and lack of wisdom. All you do is restrict the moral and wise. I hope we return to holding parents responsible for raising their kids properly. The world they face now is a terrifying and disgusting colossus, and facing it cannot be done without moral and wise future generations.
I am fairly bad at those sorts of games, but the art is so pretty I pick them up just to mess around.

I suppose the vendor could sell a home server device, which runs some kind of Tailscale-like technology to make it available from the internet, and the app talks to that locally hosted server.
I guess it’s like sharing a compiled binary. As long as you aren’t sharing the “source”, I.e. the vector file or the layered photoshop image file, and just a low resolution jpeg then it’s not so bad? Not saying it’s ethically okay, just that it’s not that useful for reuse by the target in the form it’s presented.
> What did you do to help it, what did your company do? Did anything help in the end?

My company did nothing about it specifically, but no problems because they give me a really good health insurance plan, so I'm not paying anything to go really good doctors or taking exams.

Currently, I'm seeing 3 doctors to take care of it: endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and physiatrist. We're investigating it because it looks like the pain it's being caused an inflammation pinching a nerve.

Also: exercises, it helps a lot.
Does it matter? Like, yeah, there's a seeming incongruity at first pass. But that doesn't mean it's important.

Games are a consumer product meant to widely available and a big part of them is visual spectacle. Some of the visuals designed in creating that product are kept secret. I see the apparent contradiction, but the lede of this article calls that "one of the greatest injustices."

It's basically like a endless library but with big gaps missing on the shelves, and you know that the books that are missing there were destroyed intentionally, and attempts to bring new books to the library are sabotaged.

A number of years ago an observation I had was that people mostly binned into 2 clusters. One was people who tended to use their phone on the go & thus using it one handed, for instance while walking around. The other was people who tended to use their phone while sitting down and/or handing it off to their kids who were sitting down, so mostly 2 handed use. These two bins also corresponded with preference for smaller vs larger form factors.

At least in the US there are a lot more people in the 2nd category than the first.

The thing about ‘jobs’ is they pretty much all involve working for companies.

So ‘dream jobs’ and ‘nightmare jobs’ alike are going to share all the downsides of that: clueless management, misaligned incentives, layoffs, etc.

But my point is, if you’re going to have to work for a company anyway, software engineering isn’t a bad profession to choose.

Additionally, if you decide you would rather work for yourself than put up with corporate life there are few jobs that pivot as easily into starting your own business or becoming a consultant.
That's true, though I kind of don't care. Many people of course do care. My risk tolerance is higher than most. I suspect companies like The Google hold security over people's heads in order to effectively inject code and encourage buying new phones. If I haven't installed new software in a very long time, and most of what I use is FOSS, and I rarely ever update my apps, and there's no reason to believe there's any vulnerability, then I'm pretty lukewarm on changing anything.

That said, I have been contemplating a migration to LineageOS, which would provide security updates beyond October 2023, and possibly make my Pixel 5 even better than it already is.

Meta rolls out paid ad-free option for European Facebook and Instagram users
There's nothing about the fediverse, as a protocol-backed set of services and nodes, that prevents a group of like-minded individuals from forming an LGBTQ hostile family of, for example, mastodon nodes. But there's also nothing about the fediverse, as a community, that compels anyone else who owns a node to host or share that content.

You are remembering experiences on forums or, depending on your age, BBSs or perhaps even USENET, the only system I can think of that was architected to move much power from the hands of the service administrators to the hands of the clients attaching to the service (and, not coincidentally, an experiment that lapsed into obsolescence because that's a terrible bargain for anybody to want to host if there are any alternatives).

The internet you are imagining still exists. It just hasn't grown because it turns out most users don't want that. But if someone wants to build a community that is LGBTQ-hostile online, all the pieces are there. They just have to do the legwork themselves because very few people will be interested in helping support that.

(I would also humbly hypothesize that most of that culture mixing you remember is because when the internet was small, people attended communities with others who had hostile worldviews to their own because it was the only community where, for example, Star Trek was being discussed and people wanted to participate in hobbies more than they cared about having to put up with phobes. Now that there's an option to join a Star Trek fan group in social media that is LGBTQ friendly versus one that isn't, the marketplace of ideas rewards one and not the other).
Which is to say: in your next national elections (Dutch ones are in two weeks!), vote for someone who'll use their influence to get a Commission you approve of.
Phone sizes nowadays make me furious. I bought a Pixel 6 one year ago, because "on paper" it looked similar to my Pixel 3a. Just 1mm here, 1mm there. But it actually feels way much bigger and heavier in reality. Impossible to conveniently use it with one hand. (Not possible to verify at shop how it would feel, because all shops have those large anti-theft thingies glued to the phones).

Effectively, the Pixel 6 became my "tablet" at home (or a "camera" when travelling), and I still use Pixel 3a as the default on-the-go phone.
Maybe not hard required but it's such a common way to communicate with colleagues and customers in the EU. Not having whatsapp would be similar to not having a phone number.

Burden of proof would fall upon the person making the claim. Appealing to the cultivated state of general ignorance in the West does not absolve you of this. In fact, the article you reference supports my position since it cites “restrictive laws and regulations” as the reason these companies do not operate in China.
Maybe this has something with the norm being +1000$ flagship-phones?
