While my mom is a mortgage agent that always had access to MLS (which she shares with me), I'd argue some realtors (my realtor I've known since I was 4) are worth the 5% without MLS. She has like 4 assistants managing everything in the background that are so well-trained that I didn't even need to mention updating my converted Single to a Multi-family because they somehow figured it out and just did it. She also seems to conjure an army of prospective buyers to show up on the day she schedules and twice blew my expectations away. I was just joking that my multi-family was worth over $300k and she got $312k somehow. So there are realtors that are worth the cost, but she's kind of a rare exception to the norm.

Yes, Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon is also an excellent choice, too, and one that I'd debated referencing instead.

But ultimately the "Whose soul was sad, and whose glance was glum," line in I have a song to sing O! and its reprise in the finale was what led me to pick that song to quote here. (Plus that song and the music is probably my favorite among the G&S canon. :-)
> Then why can’t the three letter agencies in the US unlock an iPhone?

They almost certainly can but I believe the point of the FBI making a big song and dance about unlocking that phone (which they did unlock by themselves, btw) was about trying to force Apple into allowing TLA backdoors via the court of public opinion.
Is that a security measure? What would execute-only prevent?

Although this was an interesting exercise, I'm not sure if you can use it to make any strong claims about the rest of the journal (or field). They put the editors in a unique position of receiving a manuscript from known physicists, on a topic they did not know anything about. It doesn't seem right to extrapolate that the entire journal lacks intellectual rigour.
What you've "seen" has nothing to do with what's actually popular. Why does the concept of observer bias have to be explained on this site?

Did you read the thread? People up there literally question why they need to bother with anything else than SMS and iMessage. More so, they in GTFOMyLawn mode about using anything else than iMessage.

There is one difference between Signal/Telegram/WhatsApp and iMessage. Do I need to spell it out?

That was about using SMS, not iMessage and had a lot of implied /s.
> One thing that working on the project helped demonstrate for me is that adding parens around _every_ subexpression is _way_ too noisy. But for me, I prefer drawing that line on the noisier side.

I prefer the noisier side as well. When adding parens to indicate/force precedence, I will sometimes split my expressions into multiple lines, with indentation, as an aid to legibility, e.g. instead of ( ( a + b ) / ( ( c - d ) / e ) ) I might write:

(
( a + b )
/
(
( c - d )
/
e
)
)

I've found this not only quite legible, but also fairly easy to edit because you can easily match parens visually.

I've seen the weirdest things (but then again, I'm old), including a guy that got a premium per knife fuse replaced (because they're known to occasionally spew fire upon re-insertion). There isn't much context here but between complacency and tiredness there are plenty of ways already in which this could have gone wrong, but outside factors such as pressure (this is Asia, after all) may well have been part of it.

And before anybody sees that 'Asia' comment as somehow politically incorrect: the statistics are pretty damning, Asian operators abroad have less than stellar safety records and very high pressure on industrial workers to meet their (sometimes unrealistically high) quotas and I would not expect them to do any better in their home countries.

> I don't think that good science is bottlenecked in any way by a dearth of grad students. Conversely, society probably already has enough of the "best and brightest" in academia

As an adversarial opinion on _that_, what seems to have happened is that the "best and brightest" filter in academia is further filtered to "those who also have the well-off family background to support that". See also the Victorian "gentleman scientist".

Sure, this filter does serve to cut down on the numbers, but I can see problems with using this filter, e.g. the effect on those excluded, and the biases that it will introduce. I would not call it a good thing on the whole.

A freedom index is about as objective as it can get: a list of categories and their rights along with a checklist of:

* what kinds of guns can be owned

* what kinds of cars can be owned

* what kinds of speech is allowed

These are not "opinons". At some point we need to start calling out the criminal indifference of vested interests (and their shills) to the freedom question

> They're answering the question about why people would use iMessage

They are answering the question why they (and in their mind - everyone else/sane/both) wouldn't ever use anything other than iMessage. They literally can't understand what iMessage is literally just another app, with the only difference is what it's default. I'm not sure what [most] people even understand how it uses their phone number[0]

> but claiming that they don't understand their own answer is a bit weird.

Well, they don't. I would point out to "I do not need to ask them to download/register on iMessages". Quite unsurprisingly, if both parties already have Signal/Whatsapp/whatever they don't need to download or register on it, too.

> I don't see any reason to object if it follows the same fallback pattern that iMessage does

There was quite a shock for some people what Apple actually gives up info on their customers when the law enforcement comes with an order. Those people really believed in a (quite clever I must say) totally-not-an-ad rumour what Apple does not give out any info. So while there is no objective reasons to object, those people would, just because it's Google or not Apple.

Though I doubt it would happen, the ship sailed along with Google+/Hangouts.

[0] showerthought: there is an intersecting Venn diagram of people who doesn't use Signal 'because phone number' yet use iMessage.

And one last thing, RCS is still SMS in it's spirit - not as means to deliver text, but as means for cellular providers to print money from the thin air. Do you know how much it costed for the celluar provider to send one SMS between it's own customers on GSM?
That's exactly the scenario your parent is describing. You can have (multiple) readers or a single writer. You cannot have both.

The analogous Rust type is std::sync::RwLock<T> (but as with Mutex, RwLock is a wrapper, so it is actually protecting something inside it, not just providing the raw mutex type).

If you've been using std::shared_mutex assuming you can have both then, I guess it's good luck that you didn't cause a deadlock of some sort, but at least this API unlike most C++ APIs isn't just "LOL, if you use this wrong it's Undefined Behaviour, all bets are off, goodbye" in the respect that matters to you.

I long been waiting for the day to use any store anytime I want. I like to do things late night, like going to the groceries or the market, but it's hard to find any shop that is open around 3AM. Never understood, that after strong authentication, why can't I enter a shop, buy whatever I want, then leave.
There was a documentary about one of the biggest party organisers in Denmark. He was a self described introvert, yet organised and invited the rich and the beautiful to big one-off club events.

If I remember correctly, he felt as an organiser, he already had a reason to talk to guests and as an organiser he always had an excuse to leave a conversation, which are basically two very common fears of an introverts who still wants social interaction.

I don't think it will ever become a default currency for modern nations. I think it will be used for parallel economies, which will expand. People will be able to buy more and more goods and services with crypto. Many more services will be set up to facilitate the conversation from USD, for example, to BTC. The scale of these parallel economies will depend on the lengths to which governments attempt to stifle freedoms. As they become more egregious, more and more people will opt to be paid in cryptocurrencies, and shop at places which accept it. There are many ways governments can and will clamp down on cryptocurrencies, but there are even more ways to achieve circumvention.

Getting PCIe Working on the New Pi 5
I once went deep into the forest on a large network of fire roads, riding my street legal dirt bike. No big deal, I had a smart phone with offline maps and two methods to charge it!

Then the the crazy rain and wind came. Soaked the phone (2015 era cheaper android). Soaked the charge port and even the back cover in general. Phone powered off.

I was soaked. And very cold. And had to navigate from memory at several turns that I hadn't even been paying attention at (who does when they have nav!). I was so cold I had to stop several times and warm up my hands by holding my soaked gloves against my exhaust system and almost steaming the gloves warm for a few minutes.

I'm a lot more careful now.

From what I understand, it can learn and execute the algorithm fairly reliably, though it won't be 100%. When the LLM generates text, it is randomised a little, as well as some tricks that prevent repetition, which would likely cause problems with numbers containing all the same digit.

I've almost f'd up myself using a portal crane indoors. I lifted a relatively light rotor of a windmill onto the stator only to find out that the magnetic field of the rotor was strong enough to lift the entire assembly, including a 500 pound welding table clear off the ground when it came close enough. Seconds prior my fingers were in the airgap between them (still quite large). I had to take a long break after that before going back in, the surprise factor really got me, I absolutely never saw that one coming and a very large part of working safely is to be able to predict the failure modes. I hadn't counted on 'anti-gravity'.

Roughly halfway into your sentence about the concrete slab my mental kinetics prediction model already declared a zone described by the pendulum at maximum extension (hanging from one remaining strap) as no-go area. And depending on the state of the crane and how far debris could have been shot out from a falling slab that area may well have had to be much larger still. People that don't understand such dangers should not be in management positions, which is one of the reason why I'm always happy to see industrial companies that promote people from the ranks to management rather than to bring in outsiders with only theoretical knowledge.
I see this problem in a lot of software I care about (media production, office, mathematics).

There are open source alternatives to the proprietary big ones, but they’re all just “ok” at best - and most of them aren’t.

E.g. DAWs like Cubase or Live vs Ardour, MS Office vs LibreOffice, Mathematica vs SageMath (which does have some of its own strengths though)

I honestly don't think you can. If you try to iterate over values instead of references, you'll take ownership of the vector and not be able to use it again.
you're taking a metaphor overly serious.

Socialization is important (we have decades of documentation on how you can permanently damage a brain in mere weeks of solitary confinement), and we can't nor shouldn't have to base that socialization with the same relatives for your entire life. If only because we biologically have urges to reproduce and are aware enough of biology to know that family reproduction is a horrible idea.

This article has no information about the deal at all.

Was it upvoted 14 times because others hoped for someone to read it and post the terms of the deal in a comment?

If so: Here is the answer. The terms are not in the article :)

So, as far as I can see, there is absolutely no new information in this article except for "Hollywood Actors Strike Ends With a Deal". Even the second part of the title "That Will Impact AI and Streaming for Decades" seems pure fantasy considering the deal is not disclosed.

So from my perspective, the whole article could have been:

The terms have not been disclosed.

They could have asked someone who did know. If you are the editor of a publication you have editorial responsibility of what gets published, you don't get to abdicate that responsibility because you don't feel like doing your homework.

You cannot extrapolate to the field as a whole (at least not from this one example), but as far as the journal itself goes, it's damning evidence that they lacked the intellectual rigor required to talk about those topics (at least at that time, I have no idea if the journal still exists and has changed its ways).

I agree, and I think banks 2.0 are already here: exchanges. Some of them offer credit cards, loans, leverage, investing, and savings accounts already. The catch is that they're largely unregulated, so I see a lot of people opting to keep their cryptocurrency in personal wallets. Like cash, if you lose your wallet, you lose your currency. So people might have a hardware wallet at home in a safe, and one which they top up when they do their shopping each day. In fact, wallets are safer than cash because currency can be retrieved if they're well designed. Bitcoin wallets, for example, merely hold a key to one's funds in the cloud. That key can be shared with multiple devices. Many offer retrieval methods using pass-phrases, which can be stored electronically or printed and kept in a safe or deposit box, for example.

I'm not claiming crypto is better or more convenient today than banks. At least not for most people. My premise is that they will become more valuable over time relative to their risks and limitations.
> an army of prospective buyers to show up on the day

that's what i hate about realtors. in germany they will gladly invite a hundred interested people for a flat and by that make searching for an appartment a huge waste of time. it's easier for them and probably a nice ego stroke.
context: i work as an ml engineer.

i agree with the bubble sentiment that apparently many people have. i recognize how it would be at my own career's expense. but i feel that many arguments made here miss the forest for the trees.

applied statistics or statistical learning has been around long enough and we have seen its innovations and rebranding over the decades. i clearly see the theoretical point to it and hence decided to find my place in this field.

however, the "AI" movement as of late, including the generative AI bits, fall into the bubble territory for me. just like those who are serious about blockchain and its wide implications will still toil towards it, so would companies serious about machine learning.

however, most people are riding the wave are for short-term gains, just like many in crypto space were there for speculative money-making.

the LLMs to me are an evolution (albeit a macro one) to predictive functionality of smartphone keyboards of the past, but they are touted to be the holy grail. their capabilities are impressive, but it only scales up so much in its current form. those just making an app on top of api provided by these services will not last. moreover, the explosion of advancements mean there will be no stability for those maintaining the infrastructure in the near future.

at least with the pursuit of making the largest models have shed light on the need to optimize the deep learning stack, which is the only silver lining for me.

i would love to be wrong and see what comes next, but i believe the general public will lose interest soon and we will have another winter before a major breakthrough. the "AGI" claims are just like those made by vr enthusiasts in the 2010s...i mean the 1980s.
Those settlers do know the history (or should know) and they do know its stolen land. And many did fight in the military defending the Apartheid system. And they know they are not willing to share with native Palestinians. I don't mean Hamas has the right to kill civilians, but what reaction are we to expect? Flowers and gifts? Come on.

Yes, Israel does not have the right to defend itself against Palestinians.

>Should all 9 million Israelis be killed because they are "settlers"
No one said that.
> For one, there's children. For another, moderation and law enforcement is a good thing

I think the idea that the government has any place controlling people's ability to freely communicate in private is at least five orders of magnitude more dangerous than allowing children to communicate freely with random adults.

But I expect you're one of those people who thinks everyone should be required to wear a microphone that uploads all nearby comversations to police servers in real time to be sure nothing criminal is going on so establishing common ground will be trickier than usual.
A fox would not want to imagine an internet made up almost exclusively of hens? ))
It absolutely blows my mind that we've all just shrugged and accepted that we're not permitted to use LLMs to generate swearing or fiction that contains violence. What happened to treating users like adults instead of toddlers!? Actually, thinking about it, a typical Grimm fairytale has more death and violence in it than either Azure or OpenAI will allow!

Just today I wanted to translate a news article about the war in Gaza and Microsoft refused because the content was "too violent" for my delicate human brain.
