> And partly, we as a society have to make some tradeoffs. We want something from 12 CFR § 21.11(k)(1) . It was not written by accident or because the drafters were stupid. Every future with 12 CFR § 21.11(k)(1) in it will include many Americans whose bank accounts are closed for no reason that can be disclosed to them. Many of them will have done nothing wrong.

I totally dispute that and there's a contradiction in there. If many of them will have done nothing wrong, then the drafters were plain stupid.

Typically senile, dumb, stupid, out-of-touch people.

There's nothing for the people in there and it wasn't the result of a democratic process.

It is also a complete and utter failure, costing $180bn worldwide for a mere $12bn frozen (not even seized but temporarily frozen, some being actually legit money that'll eventually be unfrozen).

In other words: it's yet another pointless law that is not having the intended effect and that is costing business and taxpayers money and time while making people feel they live in a dystopian madness.

And there's more drugs than ever sold both in, say, the EU and the US. And there's still child pornography. And there's still 3% to 5% of the world's GDP that is tied to criminal activities.

> That is quite literally what it means

Legally in the US, it has never meant this. No freedom, even Constitutionally enumerated ones, is absolute. It logically cannot be different than this because every freedom we have can be used in a way that infringes on another person's freedom. The path to maximal liberty for everyone always requires some limits on individual liberty.

ZDI-CAN-22101 – CreateAttachmentFromURI Server-Side Request Forgery

To sum up, the following attack scenario is possible:

• The attacker authenticates to OWA.

• The attacker creates a new draft message.

• The attacker invokes CreateAttachmentFromUri, triggering the SSRF.

• The response of the SSRF gets added to the mail message as an attachment.

• The attacker downloads the attachment and retrieves the response content.

Regardless of the camera, these things have started to have such a bizarre visual quality to them. Like some kind of tech-bro fever dream of an AI imagined utopia. So far gone from the days of Steve standing on a stage and actually talking to people. Kudos to folks like Zuckerberg not doing product announcements from an alien spaceship orbiting earth. Just look at the contrast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CpHrNNIzs4
Scales are a good way to tell the difference and still portable.
You, personally, probably won't be sold on it - the concept is straightforward, so it's not like there's much you could be missing. If we manage it in your lifetime, you can simply die and let live.
As a patient of more than 10 therapists, none has proactively discussed with me the effectiveness of therapy, nor discussed how their style of intervention may make my depression worse. For me as someone who has thought about the past far too much, there was always a therapist there to rehash the past, and help me overthink it more.

My psychiatrists have always recommended searching for a new therapist when a previous one did not work. I told them the old apocryphal Einstein quote about insanity being trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results. They still said search for a new one.

I finally stopped seeing therapists, started meditating, and am making real progress toward getting better.
It's truly miserable and I share your sentiments completely. Unfortunately, I do not have the right words to express my sadness about the status quo; I am a mathematician who actually believes in the importance of the "mathematics edifice" as a service for society, present and future. Oh well.

> Show me the act of Congress that established the consumer welfare standard.

I don't need to. Because this is how the courts are interpreting the law.

Make a new one if you don't like it, because bad arguments in court don't change anything.

> will eventually find a friendly judge

Someone might be able to find a single one, somewhere in the entire USA.

But the interpretations of a single judge means very little.

If a single judge deviates from the current court standard in a significant way, then the ruling would almost certainly of be overturned upon appeal.

One judge changes very little. and I don't think the 6-3 conservative majority supreme court is going to change anytime soon.
Do you mean like memory loss?
Then F# it is. :)

Rust was partially inspired by F# and OCaml and actually had a much more ML-like syntax early on. Probably something similar goes for Typescript. And actually, the same for Gleam as well.

F# doesn't really relate to Haskell at all. They are very different languages. F# is a multiparadigm language that easily supports concise code in the imperative, OOP, and functional styles.

It sounds like you maybe don't know much about F# if you think it's like Haskell, which is okay. But that's also why I would recommend checking it out.
They might be doing that in some countries. Last week I heard from a friend working at a WeWork in Bogotá, that they don’t think it will affect them, because the location is run by Softbank using the WeWork brand. Don’t know if that is true.
> “There are some red lines. And one of those red lines is the operationally unworkable and fundamentally inept requirement to go to a court before accessing already lawfully collected information…

What a pathetic attempt at weasel language. Are they saying it would be better to make collecting it in the first place illegal? Great suggestion!

They continue:

> "This is something we think is both the wrong fit for what we’re doing, and operationally unworkable,”

That is the point - They've been caught doing things they shouldn't be, so this bill makes being naughty "operationally unworkable".

> “For us, it remains a red line not to have to go to a court and lose the operational window to stop an assassination attempt to prevent ransomware, to stop a senior government official’s email account from being hacked.”

At this point these powers in hands that have proven themselves to be untrustworthy are scarier than any bogeyman they could conjure. Try again.
Agreed. I think it would most likely be "this is a political question, we aren't going to intervene".
Yep, I know. But my gripe was someone suggesting MISRA C was something it wasn’t.
You’re doing something wrong if that’s your monthly. T-Mobile’s Magenta plan is $230 for 5 lines for the completely unlimited version. You can go down to $180 and still get 100GB before throttling.

Perhaps you’re on an old plan and need to change to a new one, or maybe you’re including device payments or insurance in your figure?
The outage apparently began 4am AEDT. It's now 11am. For 7 hours and counting - no network at all in large parts of the country including no mobile network at all (if not all - I haven't heard of anywhere where it is working fine).

The impact is huge. As others have mentioned it's impacting financial services networks and in Melbourne, it's impacting the Metro train network (they use Optus for their backup communications).

The very widespread nature makes me think "there's gotta be more than one failure here" e.g. can't just be a DNS issue. Follow up thought - "could this be a non-accident?" i.e. a deliberate outage on behalf of actors unknown?
Because they evolved and adapted in much higher sunlight conditions.

Such a cool idea, and well executed. Had you considered adding descriptions or "How to play" on each game's scorecard page? Could be a nice addition
Much of that response is misleading.

It does make a technically correct claim that QWACs are currently accepted by browsers. However, the reality is that QWACs are only accepted by browsers if the issuer fully complies with both CAB Forum baseline requirements, and Root program rules. The entire purpose of the clause in question is effectively to ensure an EU Bureaucracy is responsible for for setting rules instead of CAB Forum and Root programs.

Another example it is absolutely true that the eIDAS 2.0 regulars impose some certain weaker security requirements than current browsers.

A trivial example is that the response claims QWACs will comply with Brower's Certificate Transparency standards, but those standards are not in the regulation, and the regulation makes it clear that a browser cannot reject QWACS for other reasons not listed in the regulation.

Another example, Mozilla has found that CAs who simply request audits done to ETSI standards (the standards imposed by this regulation) will often end up with audits that are incomplete (unable to audit all relevant controls). This can happen for legitimate reasons, but the audit results don't provide enough details here, hence Mozilla added a requirement for an ETSI Audit Attestation Letter (AAL) that explains these limitations. Even worse, once the impediments are no longer in place, by often ETSI auditors do not re-audit the previously un-auditable controls for the last time period. Mozilla needed to impose additional rules including explaining what if any controls could not be audited, and also rules that the next audit must cover previously un-auditable controls for the previously issued audit, in addition to auditing for the that time period. Describing how to do this audits properly within in the ETSI context is complicated because the ETSI audit standards were not really designed to make such rules (Full audit of all controls over all timespans, re-auditing later if some controls could not be evaluated for any reason the first time) easy.
Spirit is a fine airline if you fly and travel lightly(belongings in book bag)!

Per my ten flights this year with them (out of BWI, Miami, Vegas & Reno) it's a Pay less and get out the airport quickest experience. Their planes i flown on are new planes with seats that are a bit less comfortable. Their refund policy is awful ..just don't cancel.

Theres tons of negative press about them and I bet a lot of it is stirred up by fake news marketing via their competitors. TikTok has lots of influencers / social media professionals trashing them with their fake news marketing videos (like a few such tikTok(ers) have millions of followers).

If JetBlue buys them no more cheap good flights and that cuts out a lot people who can afford to fly with them now and that's crap..flying/traveling should be affordable for many not just middle to upper class!
That's why it's unsettling. They can keep the brain alive but not communicate with it.
Yeah I mean those are frustrations for sure. Nothing’s perfect and it’s certainly not worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a house to fix to me.

Interesting; I was not aware CGA was also 1981.

Extremely expensive, difficult to monetize, and only helps a small fraction of vehicles specifically equipped at an added cost.

The US has far more homeless people, underfunded police departments like Detroit, lack of universal healthcare and the suggestion of spending trillions on things that don't do most good for the most people sounds particularly selfish and tone-deaf.

While not completely "Solar Frickin' Roadways", it's not the most pressing infrastructure investment when there are bridges on the verge of collapse.

A huge part of it is psychological for sure.

Is the code still open source? If it went from open source to open source then that's a lateral move and you're complaining about something else and probably should not conflate the two things.
A lot of games are exclusive to Steam. People are currently pretty angry about Sea of Stars, which explicitly committed to a GOG release, and then decided not to have one.

Return to Monkey Island also released as a Steam exclusive.
So it appears that GPT-4-Turbo is indeed (at least marginally) smarter than the previous GPT-4, just as Altman claimed. Also, it's faster and cheaper, with a massive context window. Exciting!
Stay out of trouble!
I think the general (completely speculative and unconfirmed) consensus is that "Turbo" models are somehow quantized, or otherwise modified for much faster and cheaper inference, at the expense of some quality (the definition of "some" is unknown here).

well, that's how it was for GPT-3.5 anyway. The "turbo" flavor was faster and cheaper, but seemed to have slightly worse output (again, this is all going by subjective measurement; it could entirely be the imagination of AI bros)
Feel free to ignore it then?
The data in the article you linked doesn't agree with you - it says a base tan gives an SPF of 2, and gives the example that that means if you would normally burn in 10 minutes, it will now take 2x the time (20 minutes) to burn. Doubling the burn time is hardly "no protective effect".
Science working as intended.
The progress here is remarkable. A year ago, we didn’t even have ChatGPT. LLM completions were cool but so hard to use and definitely there was nothing accessible to non-nerds.
Good because that's some bullshit right there. This would be similar to a company saying that get to have the right to use code you write after stop working for them.
There was recently an article posted about inducing lucid dreams on demand. Why not remove a brain from a skull and induce lucid dreams on it perpetually? Perhaps then there could be a way to read brainwaves to see how the mind is doing, maybe even extract crude imagery.

Perhaps this a way to offer some life extension for the terminally ill.
That’s an odd criticism for “Guns, Germs, and Steel”—the major thesis might be able to be summarized in a short passage, but the book is long because it considers that thesis from a bunch of different directions, building up an argument from a pile of distinct evidence. The point of the book isn’t to just state something, but to show why it is true.

It would be like complaining about how long a math proof is, when the theorem being proven itself is only a line or two.
But the bouncers at Berghain aren't just there to keep troublemakers at bay like the bouncers at your local venue or, you know, almost any other club in Berlin.

A lot of the problems occur during movement, when responsiveness doesn't even matter. I still have yet to see a game where it's impossible to get randomly stuck at a fence or rock that instantly stops one's movement for example. Making the character dynamically avoid such minor obstacles would make the game more responsive, not less.

And games with fancy animations are often not just less responsive, but also less controllable in general: in Witcher 3 the character cannot walk backwards or turn in place, so you can literally fall off a cliff in front of you by trying to walk away from it. In terms of movement the only difference between Geralt and his horse is the turning radius.

The gov broke up "the phone company" once before in the 80s. And here we are again looking to do the same?

Sure. Why? But let's pause for a moment and make any other systemic changes necessary not to end up here again so quickly.
This is written so scarily, honestly. It sounds like you're trying to convince somebody to die who doesn't need to or want to.

The word "fantasize" especially is bizarre - we're discussing a premise (arbitrarily extended life), and you're using a word that escapes the premise (a synonym for "it's not real").

If I were to do this, I would ask the LLM to come up with a model that would predict the output and then to estimate the parameters and calculate the prediction (and show the work).

For all we know, this is what's happening inside the black box (if it's really simulating a super forecaster), but from experience, it's easier to get what I want from LLMs if I have it talk a little about what it's doing.
That makes sense as long as we're aging normally, but suppose indefinite life extension actually becomes a reality?

It's dumb, but also don't forget that any law that will disproportionately hurt Ford is going to be a non-starter; over 650k F-150s sold in a year.

One thing about Rust is that it's a fairly young language. We've had to implement a number of things ourselves that we wouldn't have had to implement in other languages.

If there's not enough community interest for there to already exist a solution for your problem, you really only have three options: write it yourself (including opening a PR to add it to an existing implementation), pay someone to write it, or switch languages. If none of these are options, you're just out of luck, and complaining about it is unlikely to do any good. I'm not saying you can't complain of course, but I am saying that you're more likely to get what you want via another path.

But regardless, I don't think it's an odd argument. Indeed, no one is stopping anyone from writing a new, low-level, memory-safe programming language! That's why Rust exists! Turns out the market was huge! Writing a new one now would be easier because of all the great ideas that Rust helped to prove work at scale. We're seeing this already with the success of languages like Zig, which makes different tradeoffs than Rust did and seems to be finding success in slightly different niches.

And sort of disproving your point, we use postgres, and I can think of three different implementations of postgres drivers offhand (sqlx, tokio-postgres, and diesel). I'll also note that the author of tokio-postgres also publishes https://docs.rs/postgres/latest/postgres/, which is not async! It's impressive how many options we have for such a complex thing in such a young ecosystem.
Once you know enough about a subject, you may find that examples or stories are bloat, but it may be necessary for the reader to have a visualization of the ideas that are presented. Something like "Deep Work" or "Getting Things Done" can be downsized to a page. The stories give a frame of reference to the ideas.
