The generalized kernel of your comment here leaves me deeply unsettled.

Imagine the following:

* AI discovers community's non-trivial shibboleths

* AI detects pauses in video stream where 1) the speaker is off camera and 2) there's space for a non-trivial shibboleth to be inserted

* Convert nearly all media from what it is into a lowkey propaganda piece where arbitrary community believes that their favorite celebrities are actually closet members of their community.

Example:

David Attenborough narrates a scene of ants using pheromones to encourage the colony that they need to dig out more tunnels. Then in a brief pause adds: "They must construct additional pylons."

Most people just glaze over the line, meanwhile starcraft players are having a different reaction.
Not from a carbon perspective. Forestry isn't cutting down ancient forests and then randomly thinking it would be nice to plant some new ones. Trees are a crop. They are planted, left to grow, and then harvested, in a cycle.
I downvote inaccurate or irrelevant takes on a subject, as well as persecution complexes.
Sure, their creation is held behind legal walls in order to create, by definition, an artifical scarcity from which it derives its monetary value. If it was not protected by such a wall, and was not scarce, it would have no monetary value.

No, I don't think the inherent value in their talent is artificial, but I _do_ think that the monetary system we've built around such things as a necessity to survive in our modern world is abberant and bound to fail.

ETA: Just to give some flavor. Do you realize how much human energy is expended in finding ways to build these walls of artificial scarcity? It's frankly sad.

I was watching a showmatch that a streamer I enjoy watching was invovolved in (ShahZaM a Valorant pro). For nearly an hour in the leadup to the showmatch we got treated to a realtime negotiation between him an the player organizing his team. From comments like "no I can't use that graphic because I'm sponsored by another PC builder", to "every dollar I get I'll increase the size by 1px", and the piece de resistance "Whaaaat?! we have casters?? I'm not even getting paid for this!", followed by a streamer-initiated 10(!) count roll of twitch ads.

When the match was over, Tarik, the guy who organized the allstar team, was supposed to do an interview with the casters but had accidentally kicked off his own 10-pack of ads and they had to embarrasingly stall until his viewers were done watching them so they could see the interview live.

It was a repugnant view behind the curtains of the rediculuous amount of work a lot of people go to in order to profit behind the artificial scarcity put in front of their skills. This is usally hidden from the viewer behind production, but happened to leak in this instance due to the slapdash nature of the event.

Frankly, we can, and we must do better.
> Sure, you need four or five big ones so you can start the chain reaction that ends all human civilization ...

Or, say, one social network.
FYI, it didn't "get disappeared" (as in by a decision made by a moderator), it just attracted a lot of comments. When the number of comments exceeds the points, the score for front page position gets lowered. I notice this on other non-controversial threads, such as ones requesting recommendations on backup programs as an example.
The capacity of a fully loaded conventional HSR line is massive.

The Beijing-Shanghai HSR route (a northbound and a southbound track on a right of way 20 meters wide) and every UK airport combined, carried about the same number of passengers every year before COVID, just above 200 million. We can make conscious choices about whether we want comfortable accommodations or cattle cars, and cattle cars are what we ask for when we say "Absolute minimum capex on rolling stock" and "We're going to size passenger station platforms for 6 cars instead of for 20 cars".

If you are running 10 million passengers per year, but still running rolling stock that will fully utilize the capacity of the rairoad, you can afford to use space 20x less efficiently than the Beijing-Shanghai HSR line does.
You are correct. Though, speaking of regex, they work with partners to create the most accurate regexes possible using non-public information like expected entropy or checksums.
> I think it's not terrible but also not great, and systems should be designed for being shut down and apps being closed.

The problem with shutdowns and restarts is the secure bootstrapping problem. The boot process must be within the trusted computing base, so how do you minimize the chance of introducing vulnerabilities? With checkpointing, if you start in a secure state, you're guaranteed to have a secure state after a reboot. This is not the case with other any other form of reboot, particularly ones that are highly configurable and so easy for the user to introduce an insecure configuration.

In any case, many apps are now designed to restore their state on restart, so they are effectively checkpointing themselves, so there's clearly value to checkpointing. In systems with OS-provided checkpointing it's a central shared service and doesn't have to be replicated in every program. That's a significant reduction in overall system code that can go wrong.
"""ChatGPT

In this context, "loop closing" likely refers to a method of addressing or resolving issues or gaps in a process or system. The speaker seems to be expressing frustration about a perceived lack of a method to counter misinformation or falsehoods when it comes to Language Model (LLMs) efficiency."""

So, same inference I made from the context (alone it sounds like citogenesis but the context suggests the opposite), and same lack of specific detail.

"A method". Yes, great, what is it?
> rather have you listening uncritically to ChatGPT than to a lot of crap on the internet

This, to me, seems to be an amusing reversal of trends. Before the internet there was the "mainstream media". NBC, CBS, ABC run by the big conglomerates such as GE. Which would mold public consensus in the US. Now there is a desire to go back to that. Let LLM do the thinking and the managing of biases and just tell me what to think.

The unfiltered internet is too much. It's overwhelming. It's the raw sewage of the Facebook feed. We need someone to coddle us. And that champion, today, is OpenAI.
That was is not about any of Russia's legitimate concerns. It is about scratching Russia's imperial itch. Moreover, it pushed Ukraine further into the arms of the West, Finland straight into NATO and Sweden second in line. Just a follow-up of the 2014 invasion.
I agree that commercialising open source software can be exploitative and obviously, that why the GPL was thought necessary to try to stop that kind of behaviour (or at least ensure that the resultant code was also open source).

But with non-commercial usage, I don't see it as exploiting the author as they wanted to write it for their own reasons and had no interest in commercialising it or believed it to be non-viable. If someone releases under MIT/BSD, then they're pretty much saying "here's the code, do whatever you want with it", so I don't see a problem with companies using it.
> they want to use their earned trust to be paid for software development.

They're entitled to do that, and you're entitled to fork it.
Maybe those who want health insurance for themselves and their families.
It seems pretty likely that everyone saying "just pirate" never had any content in the service.

I got an email with a link to a page that let me download PDFs for all of the magazines I had in the service ("all of the magazines" being 4 of them that I got for free in 2012, but the point stands). If I had pirated those magazines, I doubt the quality would have been as good as an official PDF from the source.

Lately it seems like there's a mandate at Google to make it a pretty easy experience for users when they inevitably shut things down. Between this (easy portable download of all my content) and Stadia (total refund of everything), it really seems like they're trying to lessen the risk of investing in their new products. I can't say I'm totally convinced, because it's still obnoxious and inconvenient, but it's a decent start.
Yeah, it works so well, I wonder if it's just a natural fit due to the attention mechanism and graph databases sharing some common semantic triple foundations
GULAG is an acronym for a state organ, it can’t be pluralized.
The pro tip is to become an agent yourself. You'll have to become active with a broker whenever you want to buy, which is 50-100/month in fees, but then you'll get the "buyer's agent" 3% at closing (or after closing, depending on how the brokers negotiate payment).
As the other commenter pointed out, that source is more absurd than your initial claim, but I didn't down vote your comment.
I thought the recent court case did not receive as much attention as it should. 6% has been usury for awhile, even if you think you had a 'good' agent. Now it can simply be another negotiated deal point. It will also help remove some of the enormous friction in selling/buying a house.
Party affiliation for the Fence Viewer is not listed on our town's report. At least here, it's an appointed position. I have no idea if this is true everywhere though.

I haven't lived here long enough to know if the Fence Viewer being called upon to resolve some dispute.
That text does not disclaim support, security bugfixes, and future development. On the contrary, all three of those things are probably either heavlily implied or outright stated to be available on the project web site.
As a Brit-by-birth but Usonian-by-choice, I'm always amazed whenever I go to visit family in the UK how much "chains" feature in real estate listings there. You almost never see anyone refer to this in US sales listings, other than perhaps a vague alusion to "motivated seller". Wandering around RE agent shops in Bath, it seems that 30-50% of every window-displayed listing mentions something about the chain status.

Odd. Interesting. Both.
No, it isn't, but people who run a forestry business obviously plant enough trees to make sure they have enough timber to keep going.
That's a perfectly sensible methodology, do you have a specific problem with it?

"Wind and Solar are fine as long as they're only X% of the grid, but you'd need <silly amount> of storage for lulls in wind and sun once they get close to 100%" is the question it's answering.
Because investment resources in broadband aren't unlimited and go to the areas with the highest return on investment first. The government wants to use its power to change this, so there will be demographic quotas that determine where investment goes. If one particular demographic groups has lesser access to broadband than another demographic group, under threat of government penalty, investments must be made to equalize the demographic groups.

But the devil is always in the details. Beyond the danger of causing reductions in the total investment available for broadband, there's the problem of government defined demographic groups not being homogenous. If a wealthy area of a minority racial group gets high level of investment because it will make a better return on investment than an impoverished area of that same racial group, have things been made better? Or has the inequality simply been moved from racial to financial?

And of course, there's the fact that government equality almost always means some groups are more equal than others for various reasons, including the desire to "makeup" for past inequalities or simply one group having more clout with the government agency than others. Additionally, the government gets to decide the groupings for demographics, so some demographic groups get lots of attention and resources while others are considered invalid groupings and ignored.
Save you a click : yes, they did.
Lacking regulation combined with a monopoly position will naturally produce the worst abuses.
If it was about protecting the average user, they could simply put a big red button somewhere deep in the settings where an average user will never find it and create a pop-up saying "dont do this it's dangerous" if they try to flip it. Hell, even a command line flag would work.

It's ofc not about protecting the user, however.
I would say that that is intended as documentation for users (includong implementors of tools targeting the language), not a specification for implementors of Python, but I would agree that it is largely usable in either role; my point in the GP was that something distinct called “the Python Language Specification” doesn't exist, but that a (not necessarily complete, from a language implementors perspective) specification distinct from the implementation behavior of CPython does effectively exist in the documentation.
Uyghurs weren't slaughtered. Indians were slaughtered.

Yes the word "genocide" was used but that's just "erasure of culture". They were out into camps or schools. People weren't killed.

China has a different perspective on this action. You see what happened here is that Uyghur terrorists did an action of bombing equivalent to 9/11. So china took final action to stamp out that threat by forcing assimilation of Uyghurs. They actually succeeded in stamping out the terrorist threat that is in stark contrast to the American failure at stamping out any form of terrorism.

The intention is to stop violence and forcefully educate people in what china deems equivalent to what the US perceived as making someone "educated". From their perspective its like forcing nazis to to be re-educated.

So you have to see the intent here is moral. It's just the outcome of that intent is controversial. This is different from the trail of tears or slavery where the intent is exploitation and the outcome is often murder and slaughter. The evilness is incomparable.

This is the problem with western propaganda. You literally think uyghurs were sent to gas chambers and executed or something.

But all of that being said... I think the Indians thing is an unfair comparison. The US isnt like that anymore. China has done plenty of slaughter in the very far past as well.
Right; one way or another a program needs all of its dependencies. The traditional model was that a distribution would include one version of each dependency (most of the time) and share that between all the programs on the machine. Of course, that didn't work if you couldn't use that version, so the alternative is to somehow bundle dependencies in with your program (appimage, Firefox-like tarballs, plain static binaries) or ship them separate (flatpak, maybe docker).
I'm pretty excited about that.

Helix is great and I have a plugin in mind and I aspire to get more acquainted with the lisp perspective (though I find emacs a bit much). It's gonna be fun.
“these companies have received significant subsidies”

I think telecom got 100 billion from Biden’s stimulus package. I agree it’s too much but shouldn’t the answer be to just not give billions to the telecom industry?
I'm not sure you really need to fire nuclear missiles at other nuclear missiles as air defense. You just need something to shoot theirs down before they reach somewhere sensitive and detonate. Be it a non-nuclear missile, laser, Superman, whatever.

But the theory is somewhat sound -- you need more nuclear weapons than they can defend against. Which is a question less of quantity and more whether you can delivery payloads in faster, quieter, and therefore less interceptible ways.

Quantity is a brute-force override when you don't know how good their defenses are. Or you want enough to hit everyone in the world regardless of their defenses because you're nuts. Or you'll make someone a lot of money by ordering more, rather than better, nukes.

Honestly, the US buying more nukes is more an indicator that any previous technology gap is closing. The US is less confident in its own defensive capability relative to opponents' offensive capacity. So it feels it needs to up its offensive capacity to prevent its defenses from being tested. However, since the US is not confident of the QUALITY of its nuclear weapons program, it must make up for that with quantity.
can you define cultural marxism
I miss the days when Congress passed laws rather than delegating decision making to agencies that get to change rules on whim.
Absolutely depends on the thing that is making money! If it's something that needs manufacturing, go to China. If it's all software, go to US. If it's just a shell company for drugs, anything in South America.
The very first "hypervisors" were actually microkernels that ran Linux as a guest. This was done with Mach on PowerPC/Mac systems, and also the L4 microkernel. That's one way.

The only downside of course, is that you don't get the isolation benefits of the microkernel for anything depending on the Linux kernel process.
So the FCC found no evidence of racism, but they're 'racializing' it anyway?

That makes no sense.
20Mb/s is enough? Is this a joke? A single youtube full HD stream can reach 7Mb/s. Literallywatching a youtube movie and doing something else will saturate that link. In fact I think it's so low it will negatively impact basic website loading time. Just going to reddit.com loads 18.2 MB of resources. This will take about 8 seconds on your "useable for everything".
> Many don’t even accept coupons or successfully read store loyalty cards. They also seem to be used more in stores that probably should have fewer of them.

Never had an issue with loyalty cards here in America. You scan and it works. Haven't used coupons in a while.

They also have code to finetune the model
Both can be true, espacially since the implementation has been the same for 20 years.
There's practically zero hanging clothes storage in a typical van build. Shelves and drawers use the space much more efficiently.
This is one of those books that I found really disturbing. Very important, but disturbing.
The last part of the post is about the difficulty of getting people to donate, which GitHub Sponsors helps with. The first part is about the tax consequences, which Sponsors still helps somewhat with: while you still have to pay the requisite tax, with GitHub Sponsors you have one source of income to declare, rather than many small ones, which often reduces the amount of paperwork.
Slowing the Pace of Sustained Attention
This is one of these cases where I don't see why they collect a % fee except because they could, and they all do.

There's typically very little that they do differently for a more expensive house than for a small condo. Everything is listed on their central system, which serves as an indefferentiated marketing platform - and also informs them pretty well on the state of the market. If they do any staging, repairs, cleaning, it's usually a subcontract that you get charged for.

It's a pretty linear job (not even judging if it's complex or not), so why do they charge a proportional - and typically large - fee? I think that it is one of these psychological caveats where you're already talking about amounts that exceed your day to day understanding, in a stressful context. You only really see that one digit percentage fee, that you can't really negotiate anyway. And the actual amount is displayed in context to the real price tag, so it's looking small in comparison.

The worst consequence, beyond just the relative unfairness of that practice, is the detriment it creates. In Canada (at least where I leave) the commission is split between the agent of both sellers and buyers. Since it's a portion of the selling price, everyone (apart from the buyers themselves) is financially incentivized to maximize the price.
Would be a good idea to create an annotation model like DALL-E 3 had done.
100 000 times this. Same in neighboring Belgium and AFAICT same in France. 6% fees and up to 12.5% as a gift to the notary and the state in Belgium although to hide the rip off the seller shall be owned by the real estate fees and the buyer by the state fees. But one buy/sell and it s 18% lost. In France it s 44% tax on added value if you sell but then each year passing by this goes down by 2%. Something like that.

People are insane if they think thevhighly socialist EU doesn't screw people gigantic times on real estate.
I donated regularly until I learned the darker side of their behavior. If they’d be more transparent, I might start donating again. Is it so awful to ask for organizations to act better to receive voluntary support?
Ha, awesome! I half built one but never finished. Good for you.
Urlbox has a beautiful website. And the invisible calendar is beautiful too. Would it happen to render multiple calendars concurrently? (I share an office, seems like the perfect xmas gift)
I don't really get it. It won't tell you where it's hosted, or on what infra. You can't connect an application to the database. When I asked it this question, it gave the following:

---

Learning and Experimentation: If you're learning SQL or database management, you can use my services to practice and experiment. You can write SQL queries and see them executed in a real database environment, which is great for educational purposes.

Prototype Development: You can use me to prototype database designs and queries. This is especially useful in the early stages of project development when you're figuring out your database schema or testing complex SQL queries.

Database Migration Management: I can assist in creating and managing database migrations. This is particularly useful if you're planning the structure of a new database or modifying an existing one.

SQL Execution and Troubleshooting: If you're not sure why a certain SQL statement isn't working as expected, you can test it with me. I can execute the SQL and provide feedback, which can be a helpful debugging tool.

---

So it's like having postgres running on my machine to play with, but i dont run the queries myself. I don't need a postgres playground. For my migrations and query debugging, I already use gpt4. Why do I need it to actually access a db too?

What am I missing?
Been a customer for 3 years. Easily the best ticketing software I've used, particularly day to day as an engineer. As a manager I found it lacking some higher level planning tools, but they've been putting a lot of effort in. As a sibling said usually the defaults are sensible. I could in theory do more things with JIRA, but that assumes my org configured my instance in a way I like, I can find the customization, or not get entirely turned off by waiting for page loads.

They have been incredibly focused on improving the product in ways that are visible and get uptake from me immediately. Its one of the few pieces of software where I want to read the release notes everytime.

If I worked at a shop with less than 200 employees, its the no brainer choice.
Well, being nested together leads to the downside that you can only easily add and remove things at the end of the rack, while with OPs solution you can easily insert and remove from random points of the rack.
I believe that's in sarcasm. If you uninstall the widgets bar (something called "Web Experience" IIRC) it will automatically get reinstalled upon next update. (USA based)

I got mine to perm disable not by uninstalling, but by changing the folder permissions so nothing has access.
Open source client AND open source server. And a quite transparent non profit running it.

In the US, this can be done by a title & escrow service. They hold the deposit money (assuming there is some, which is normal), and then at closing they will do all of the above, as well as receiving and distributing funds from the buyer/mortgage company.
