What do you mean why not? The point is just to use anything other than cloudflare for archive.is, and mullvad is not cloudflare, so seems fine, go ahead.

There is no special reason not to use cloudflare dns in general though.

The problem is only between cloudflare and archive.is (and it's aliases) and it's hard to say if either side is wrong, except for the fact that either or both of them could figure out some special exception where they recognize each other's traffic if they cared to. Cloudflare are not censoring archive.is for example, and are not doing anything wrong.

This is typical of the bugs you have to worry about when working with a language that favors mutability.

With immutables you simply map on players list and continue working with the copy.

Bugs avoided. Performance concerns - maybe they exist - but show me them first.
> federal government

I had assumed it would be state government since they normally control traffic law?

What other solutions would you propose for enforcing speed/safety regulations on state owned infrastructure? Personally, given my experience interacting with police, hate our current system that relies on being pulled over and interacting with them. I would much prefer an automated solution (e.g. speed governors or automated speeding cameras).

I think one of the problems is that it is fuzzy. If we can't draw the line with humans, AI is going to increase the scale of the problem. Now, instead of a few artists getting close to the fuzzy area of acceptable or not and being able to be judged partially on intention, AI allows for magnitudes more to get into the fuzzy area. Perhaps we were too lax in allowing the fuzzy to remain fuzzy due to such a low number of cases, but now technology has increased the intrusions into this fuzzy space far faster than the law can keep up.
> Sounds like you people just lack a solid attention span

Sorry but that's really not it, I just don't watch a video on a topic I'm interested in for 30 seconds of city skyline views with some light music..

My attention span has nothing to do with it, my patience for wasting my time does however.

Edit : Just to reiterate, I liked the video, cool idea.. Just the balance seemed off to me. It's not worth an argument to be honest. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
Yes- it's common to drag a track into Ableton and use that as a reference for a few different reasons. You can try to mimic particular sounds, the structure of the song, or the overall mix. For example, if I like the hat of a particular house song I can try to match the sound and loudness of the hat I'm hearing from the reference, as well as how it's mixed and when it appears. There are a ton of videos on the best to go about using one. Also, if you want to take the route of just trying to copy a song exactly that's a great way to learn. It'll be far off but it's a good exercise to go through.
What may be relevant in this context is the observation that models ultimately converge on their dataset:

> This is a surprising observation! It implies that model behavior is not determined by architecture, hyperparameters, or optimizer choices. It’s determined by your dataset, nothing else. Everything else is a means to an end in efficiently delivery compute to approximating that dataset.

The current legal system allows a business to take a customer to court after a customer issues a chargeback and the business loses.

I'm actually surprised businesses don't do it more often as a deterrent. At a minimum, they could go win a few easy cases, then tell future customers threatening chargebacks about those cases and the outcome.

They could send a simple letter saying "We see you have initiated a chargeback against us. After investigation, we believe this chargeback not to have any merit. In cases of false chargebacks, it is our policy to take clients to court to reclaim our costs, which in past cases have averaged $X on top of the value of the goods.".

How so? A government must have those it governs, those must be then members of the set of people whom it governs.

You can call it something besides "citizenship", but maybe we're talking about different terms, or you have a more technical definition implying more than simply membership under a governing party?

Either way, this is the basic definition of a citizen, so trying to divorce the two seems futile to me:

"A citizen is a member of a political community who enjoys the rights and assumes the duties of membership."

Assuming they don't need to use all Five billion images, the bytes per image will be larger. They can also use composites and filters to remove duplicates and images similar enough, or generative series.

One do not need 2 bytes per images if one million of images are blank, even if they are uniquely of different sizes. The amount of bytes to represent one million blank images in code is very few. One only need to store the unique aspects of the images, and if one compresses the images then the range of uniqueness drops based on the quality required.

Very unique images will naturally have larger footprint, based on the quality that one want to retain.

Your citation is cut off and doesn’t show why Posteo says it won’t support this..I’m pasting the entire answer from Posteo on this topic [1] here:

> Can I use Posteo with my own domains?

> “No. We are an email provider with a particular, privacy-oriented model – and this is not compatible with incorporating own domains. One of our emphases is data economy: we do not collect any user information (names, addresses, etc) of our customers. We always answer requests from authorities for user information in the negative. On the other hand, own domains need to be registered to the name and address of a person. If you were able to use own domains with us, this would affect the entire concept of Posteo: we would need to start saving user information for all customers who use their own domains with us – and to provide these to the Federal Network Agency to be provided on request to the authorities.
Even if only the MX record pointed to us, we would still need to store the assignment of the domain in your Posteo account as user information. Thus we would possess your user information and be required to give it out. For this reason, we have decided not to offer this possibility and instead to use data economy.”

Whether this sounds fine or not and whether this is acceptable to someone or not is subjective.

I'm not missing that at all.

Put another way, if I create a Rube Goldberg painting machine, what copyright law applies? Why is that different than if I create/train/prompt an AI to do the work? One is physical, one is digital, but both require a human to create and initiate. And in both cases, every decision that human makes is made based on their life's experiences. No art exists in a vacuum. All art is derivative.

This is exactly why the title calls Apple's practice an "exploit". Apple recognizes that CBP does not follow due process and they take advantage of that by slapping their label on every last little, insignificant component - including stuff the customer will never even see. It probably helps catch counterfeits, but it has the added benefit of significantly disrupting legitimate competition.

> Salvaging parts from used devices at such scales would require a pretty extensive operation.

It'd be a lot easier than reverse-engineering every Apple component and manufacturing it yourself. What else is a legitimate replacement part producer supposed to do?
Yup. And good bump in single core performance, which you'll notice for most use cases. So really mid level part beats top tier part from last generation.
To be fair, many people can no longer read Twitter threads. But yeah.
We're on the correct timeline. It's just that people are extremely reluctant to embrace technologies which make part of the ego redundant.

For example, an AI slave (lit. robot) is useless to you because then you have the master-slave mentality so half of you is still a slave. Once we're actually OK inside we won't even think we need technology.

As mbreeze stated, this location is probably going to continue operating as some form of coworking space even if it gets spun off of wework, which it may or it may not. There were a lot of people there, I imagine that location is probably cash flow positive. It would make sense for someone to operate it, as there was clearly demand at least at that location.

Reducing memory bandwidth is particularly bad given that most AI work loads are memory bound.

With the memory bandwidth Apple's fully integrated GPU with shared memory is actually pretty good for smaller AI stuff like running and fine tuning llama2-sized models. It gives you a decently fast GPU option with a lot of RAM. NVIDIA cards with similar RAM are a decent fraction of the price of a whole Pro or Max M chip laptop.
this sounds like a way to discriminate against people with legitimate medical issues, or even just people that drink a lot of water.
This looks like someone is building their own filebased database-system, in typescript, while still using mature features of database-servers. So instead of trusting the optimized, regularly maintained and battletested solution, they build something by themselves. This smells ugly, like something that will scale poor in performance, and will have security and tooling-problems.

Simplification of installation seems not like a good enough reason to trust your whole backend on this. Installing and maintaining a database-server is not that hard today. This is well established and documented, unlike this. But I also don't know enough about this app, maybe this is just one of several options, meant for a specific usecase? Using this in a standalone desktop-app would make sense, while still offering a mature sql-backend available for server-installations.
Google Fiber ISP.

They won't admit it's static, but it is. I've had the same IP for three years since moving into this house. In that time, I've had power outages lasting for days, IP was still the same. I've replaced my router and the assigned IP didn't change. The only way it can change is if they replace their media converter "fiber jack" or you call or go to their store to ask them to change your IP.

It's more or less the opposite (though with some of the same concerns); this is driven by an _aging_ population. The population is going up due to birth and immigration, but faster than that is happening, people are aging out of the workforce.

This is pretty much what all developed countries are facing; the US isn't as far along as most (it's relatively young).

A modern reader would consider them inaccessible mostly because of the archaic language and period references, which of course at the time were neither. Likewise with Shakespeare who we think of as incredibly high brow now, forcing schoolchildren to spend weeks poring over the language, but who at the time was writing the equivalent of soap operas and sitcoms in order to sell as many tickets as possible.

Its the balance of deterrence and incentives. In the case of drugs, no one really goes to jail fo doing drugs, only selling them.

People therefore feel free to do drugs, which drives demand for people to sell them. Thus an incentive arises, which, for some, is worth the risk.

The same balance applies here. If we dont want something happening, it needs harsh punishments to outweigh the incentives.
This is the relevant piece I believe:

They couldn't remove the sections because the terms of their statehood had them inherit obligations from Massachusetts that supersede their state constitution.

I haven’t read the underlying paper, but from the article it seems the paper looks at if a person gets healthier when they get married.

This seems flawed because you get older as you get married, which is generally something that makes you less healthy.

This does not seem to compare health between a cohort that stayed single and a cohort that got married, so I don’t place a lot of value on the conclusions.

`Getting a signature` is very 1900s. I'd expect to see more like what Amazon do for various high-value packages (maybe even high-fraud), you are given a code which has to be verified by the delivery driver before they will give you the code.

I don't work on the west coast though I am originally from there. I've worked at 4 companies in Texas in the last 10 or so years ranging from 10s of thousands of employees with international presence down to only 35 employees when I started.

Every single one had free coffee and snacks as well as free swag at least once or twice a year. Meaning shirts, sweatshirts, hats etc. Mostly lowish quality if I'm being fair, but my last company would give everybody really high quality stuff like 3-4 times a year.

Why are we "assuming" interface compatibility? I have an Asus mobo that refuses to boot with a Western Digital SSD in the first M.2 slot, when and only when using a 13th-generation Core CPU, unless the Intel ME has been updated past a minimum revision. I think it is quite likely that PC platform firmware has huge tables of device quirks that are necessary to bring up the machine.
I've always been good at solving problems, if I weren't then I'd be a pretty bad software engineer. And I guess I don't dislike solving problems, if I did then same deal.

But I don't live for solving problems. Let alone "hard" problems.

I'm a "maker" (though I kind of hate that word). I like building things. If I'm not developing software then I'm making other stuff. Woodworking, theatre, props, clothing. Software applications are another thing to make and produce. Making new things always comes with a healthy dose of problem solving, but I don't get out of bed in the morning thinking "boy I can't wait to solve problems today .. I hope someone hits me across the face with a real stumper that's going to make my work a living hell until I can figure it out!"

For me it's more about whether or not I enjoy what I'm building, and would use the end product or at least can see the value it provides to others. Not so much about how many "challenges" there are in building it.
> (10nm++/Intel7, the name changed over the period for marketing reasons)

People like to pick on this change a lot but these names have been marketing for decades, and other fabs (including TSMC and GloFo) named nodes more advanced than they were purely to look better (iirc - GF 14nm was much closer to Intel's 22nm than to 14nm, Samsung 8nm performed way worse than TSMC N7 etc.) - meanwhile "Intel 10ESF" aka "Intel 7" is actually very similar in most metrics to TSMC N7, though is more amenable to higher clocks.

If anyone wants to loose braincells over this, Wikipedia editors are (still) having an epicly long debate over this since the name was changed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:7_nm_process#Intel_7

It doesn't matter, the most important factor is the training data. The network implementation, and sometimes even the topology don't matter as long as they have some basic properties, one of which is to allow pairwise interactions.

We have seen RWKV, S4, MLP-Mixer, T5, etc - they all give comparable results to vanilla GPT when trained on the same dataset. Similarly, there are no two people with identical neural wiring, but when they learn the same course the gain similar abilities. There are only small differences.

On the other hand it appears that even small models like Phi-1.5 when trained with "textbook quality" data perform 5x above their weight, and when you train a big LLM with 10x more data - GPT-4 was rumored to be trained on 13T tokens - its abilities are superior to all other models.

So better data or more data make a difference. Architecture makes little difference, controlling for model size. Interesting tidbit - since 2017 when transformers were invented, almost no change to the architecture was widely adopted, only a small change or two (postnorm and GELU activation in the feedforward), and not for lack of trying. There are hundreds of papers trying to invent a better transformer. Where are they now?

The brain is just inside a better data engine than AI models. That's the magic behind the brain. It's not some kind of special learning ability, it's continual learning from a persistent environment, one with the highest level of complexity and diversity. Humans can create causal interventions in the environment to test their hypothesis. AI models trained on the internet don't have causal intervention powers except when we provide embodiment and environment.

Humans also have access to many other humans, AIs train with a text corpus, not live humans. I reject the idea that brains have some special sauce. It's everything else around the brains that is better.
