Man the anti-crypto news piles on like clockwork as the bull begins anew.

Crypto is finance without borders. It is literally the cypherpunk dream come alive - money issued on computers, censorable by no one, existing only as numbers. You could ban crypto with every government on earth and it would be severely reduced in price, but it would not die - it would just delay its inevitability. This is because cryptocurrency is an ideology - one of anti-state money, pro freedom, decentralized, empowering individuals. A circular economy of crypto does exist - it’s small vs. the speculation, but people do receive crypto and spend crypto without ever cashing out to fiat. As that economy grows, there is no longer anything the state can do to stop it.

But the state won’t stop crypto. That time has passed. Some in power saw the threat, but mostly the elites called it “rat poison squared” and laughed at it. Now crypto is so big you have major Republican presidential candidates issuing pro-crypto policy platforms and senators and powerful representatives defending it in committee hearings. It’s all over.

The real solution is to out compete crypto. Why do people like it? How can state currency do better? If you can’t solve that puzzle, then you aren’t going to defeat it.

> so then he can say "see? I love Jews, please big ad dollars, come back"

He may be playing nice to bring the ads back, sure (and no doubt he wants X generating a lot of revenue). But in your example what he's not doing is taking away anyone's freedom of speech in order to get the ad dollars back. He is trying to bring back the ads without eroding freedom of speech.

If what he does is start banning users who say anti-Semitic things to bring back the ad revenue, then you will be right.
In my country you can login to your government services using a bank account (the easy way) and by creating a proper account with password and everything (the hard way). Or with a proper smart card if you really need it.
The effective interest rate should be calculated and then converted to the monthly rate:

$$
\left( 1 + \frac{i_a}{n_a} \right)^{n_a} = \left( 1 + \frac{i_b}{n_b} \right)^{n_b} = \left( 1 + \frac{i_{\text{annual}} }{1} \right)^{1}
$$

Heat pumps which use energy to move heat around are more efficient than using energy to generate heat directly.
> Fuck iDIN.

100% agreed :)

> Who even fame up with that?

Guess who.. The banks did.

> Why bring banks into the mix? We've had DigiD for what, also almost 20 years now? Why replace something that works well? iDIN doesn't even fix the main problem, which is being usable in other EU countries.

It fixes the main problem for the banks which is that they were not involved. With iDIN they add another "selling point" for themselves, can sit at the table with government services as a provider and can monitor our behaviour more deeply.

It makes no sense as DigiD has worked OK (as a Dutch person living abroad it's certainly not perfect, especially the SMS 2FA option requirement for a Dutch number is super annoying, and the process of requesting access is a real PITA). At least there's an app now.

> Banks have enough data already, plus, why make a group of business arbiters of ones online identity?

It's a bad idea all around but the VVD government embraced it because they love business participation in everything.
Those aren't from YouTube though. Hypothetically, you would need to pay the creator to make two versions of the video if you want unsponsored videos.

While Dune can certainly stand on its own as a great work, it's best appreciated as a critical response to the utopic techno-determinism of Asimov's Foundation series. The discourse between these two series contains some of the most interesting ideas ever penned in science fiction. I think you'd need to read at least the first three Foundation books and the first four Dune books to get a handle on it, but this is a good primer: https://www.oreilly.com/tim/herbert/ch05.html
1984 Dune captured the strangeness of that universe in a way the modern version does not.
Car engines heat up when you park, because the air cooling and circulation of the coolant keeps it cooler while driving. It seems completely within the common laws of physics that when you are at not so uncommon temperatures, the coolant closer to the engine heats up well above standard operating temperatures once the car is off, and then convection currents bring enough of this overheated coolant to the sensor to trigger the fan. I have seen this behavior on many cars over the years, without any underlying concern in any of them. If it is not running hot while driving, I personally would not worry about it.

> It makes more heat than that it makes motive power (the thing it is designed to do...).

Sure.. but try running that same engine when it gets too cold, which is why "block heaters" exist and get used in certain parts of the world. The operating temperature of the engine _is_ part of the design criteria.
Being able to skip the stop-edit-compile-(re)start cycle is nice.

I don't know that the evidence is overwhelming that it is better.
How can anything be <100% if producing heat is the goal? Where would the rest of the energy be going?
Heat pumps can provide an “efficiency” of some 300-400%+. The “trick” is that they use electricity to move heat instead of creating heat, which is why heat pumps stop working well under a certain temperature.

They kinda work like a reverse refrigerator. A fridge takes heat out from the inside and moves it to the outside. A heat pump does the opposite.
Oh, so when he bans journalists for saying "he banned Elonjet", or reporting on Tesla whistleblowers... that's not banning free speech. When he banned Instagram and Mastodon links, when he banned (basically blocked from the timeline, blocked likes and replies) the Substack account... that's not banning free speech.

It's only banning free speech when he bans anti-Semites.

How curious.
Replace "crypto" with "drugs" and your message will remain basically the same.
I love the adaptation of Foundation, if Apple can do the same for Dune, that would be amazing.
It's a very bad bug, so it is important to note there's an apparently-effective mitigation[1], which doesn't make it impossible to hit, but reduces the risk of it in the real world by a lot.

# as root, or equivalent:
echo 0 > /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_dmu_offset_next_sync

Before making this change, I was able to easily reproduce this bug on all of my ZFS filesystems (using the reproducer.sh[2] script from the bug thread). After making this change, I could no longer reproduce the bug at all.

It seems that the bug is relatively rare (although still very bad if it happens) in most real-world scenarios; one user doing a heuristic scan to look for corrupted files found 0.00027% of their files (7 out of ~2,500,000) were likely affected[3].

The mitigation above (disabling zfs_dmu_offset_next_sync) seems to reduce those odds of the bug happening significantly. Almost everybody reports they can no longer reproduce the bug after changing it.

Note that changing the setting doesn't persist across reboots, so you have to automate that somehow (e.g. editing /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf or whatever the normal way to control the setting is on your system; the GitHub thread has info for how to do it on Mac and Windows).

Why this is a spectacularly bad bug is that it not only corrupts data, but it may be impossible to know if your existing files have been hit by this bug, during its long existence. There is active discussion in the bug thread about what kind of heuristics can be used to find "this file was probably corrupted by the bug" but there's no way (so far, and probably ever) to tell for sure (short of having some known-good copy of the file elsewhere to compare it to).

Which makes the above mitigation all the more important while we wait for the fix!

i have very fond memories of exciting times creating and designing my blogger websites when i was in 3rd grade in my netbook (i learned to use the computer before i could read). the first site i created was a site for downloading PC games.

if i was born earlier or later, those would've translated into web dev skills, and i'd be a dev much sooner.

i'll try to recover my old gmail to check if my blogger sites are still okay.
Not necessarily because of the $55M per se though, but because they need to discourage further stealing.

I think there's ways to get global to work, but it gets really hairy if there's much lock contention, if the node lists are changing frequently / there's a partition, or some nodes are processing slowly. At least in the versions we were running, there's likely been some improvements.

IIRC, we had issues with pg2 which does global locks when we started many nodes in large clusters that all wanted to join processes to the same pg2 group. For reasons, pg2 wanted the process list per pg2 group to be consistently ordered on all nodes, although I'm not convinced that really worked 100%... Anyway, it would try to do a global lock, but if you've got about 1000 processes across as many nodes all trying to do a global lock and they also haven't all found each other quite yet.. it just doesn't make progress. Especially if some of the nodes are half a continent away. As I understand it, the new pg avoids global locks and group membership does not have a consistent ordering --- instead the local pg process just broadcasts joins and leaves from local processes and sets monitors to adjust when group members are killed or become unreachable.

Global has some techniques to make progress, but they didn't work for our case, I think because the node lists didn't converge in a reasonable amount of time, or maybe pg2 was using locking similar to global locking, but not exactly. Anyway, we did adjust the locks to make sure they would progess first, but later avoided them, which is better.

Mnesia with a large number of nodes sharing a schema would probably have issues too, we tended to run data services sharded over groups of 4 servers sharing a schema... the whole group of storage servers would be in a single dist cluster, but there's no need for all the mnesia servers in a system to share the same schema; and we'd send application level reads and writes to gen_servers on the mnesia nodes to do the actual mnesia reads and writes. Lots of benefits from making a clear boundary between uses of the data and the storage system.
If you want to avoid "bloated" I can only recommend both bearblog.dev and mataroa.blog.

I'm confused how this can exist. It's a blatant ripoff of Minecraft, including fonts, assets, color schemes, etc. Call it a re-implementation all you like (I doubt it given Minecraft is Java and easy to decompile, and this is also JVM) but I don't see how that would fly.

If I decompile a commercial game, use GPT to rewrite the decompiled code and maybe change the assets a bit, can I just release that as open source?

> Is there a learning path for someone who hasn't done any AI/ML ever?

It highly depends on what do you actually want.

1. Use existing models. The easiest is web services (mostly payed). Harder way is local install, still need a good computer

2. Understand how models work

3. General understanding where all this is going.

4. Being able to train or finetune existing models

4.1 Create some sort of framework for models generation

4.2 frameworks for testing, training, inference, etc..

5. Models design. They are very different depending on the domain. You will have to specialize if you want to get deeper.

6. Get AGI finally.

All things are different. Some require just following the news, some need coding skills, others more theory, philosophy. You can't have it all. If you have no relevant skill the first 4 are still withing the reach. Oh, yes. You can become ethic 'expert', that's the easiest.
For my news/community collaboration, I generally prefer my iPad. I have most of the same apps on my iPhone, and sometimes I use them. But most of the time, it's on my iPad.

Isn't it reality that has a "democratic / anti-republican" bias?
I have the same car, it does this too. As have most if not all of my other cars I've owned. I've always put it down to the fact there is no cooling from the forward motion of the car passing air towards the radiators so the engine slowly heats from the already generated heat from driving. The temperature hits the limit the sensor has set and the fan turns on until it's below that set temperature.
The main difference is that Foundation is great and Dune is mediocre.

Stop beating around the bush and just come out with it already.
It was actually an issue with the Reddit archival, but it wasn't malicious. Some people made changes to the code they thought would make it faster, but actually corrupted results.
For me Premium is worth it for ytmusic alone. I have discovered so much new music it's been a new personal golden age, like I'm in high school again. I think its due to at least in part its ability to integrate my many years of YouTube history and playlists. Now to be fair I have read others saying the exact opposite in terms of music discovery, all I know is I find a great new song or album at least once a week and that is something I could never say about Amazon, Tidal or Spotify.
It's a cool game. I didn't like the automatically shifting octave window thing though. An option for a longer piano keyboard?

You should read the count of monte cristo, it’s in an entirely different league in terms of writing compared to Dune. The philosophy is transparent, the tactics and strategy are basically nonexistent, and the sociology is missing any kind of coherence.
Absolutely, but to get it there it has to work first or you'll have to pump in heat from some other source. Starting a large diesel in sub-zero temps can be quite challenging.

If that had any ounce of truth clearly they would have tried taking down mineserver and minetest long ago.

If projects gets taken down it's because of copyright infringement, not because they are referencing the name. Removing all references to Minecraft won't do anything if the project contains assets or decompiled code from Minecraft either.

It’s all good. Got a code request from one of my college kids to sign in or buy an add-on subscription. I immediately cancelled Netflix.
I certainly do care about my carbon footprint and travel by train / bike when I can. I do take the plane when I need to and of course am not telling people to stop visiting family. I was asking to at least consider carbon footprint when making leisure world travel decisions. The ton of CO2 you release on a london-new York is 100% yours.
I’m not sure I agree with Tesla on this diagnosis. To me that sound is metal rubbing against metal with friction.

Before I investigated pads and discs, my first port of call would have been any ball joints. I don’t know the typical Tesla suspension make up but if there’s any bottom ball joint at the control arm / wheel carrier interface or tie-rod end, then that would be first.

Either way, definitely sounded like a failing ball joint to me. I’d want to visually inspect the dust boots for cracks, use a pick to check it’s still fully packed with healthy grease, then with wheels in the air, manipulate the wheel - hands at 12 o clock and 6 o clock, rock back and forth (testing bottom ball joint). Hands at 3 and 9 o clock (testing tie rod end).

Of course brake pads on discs can also fit the profile of “metal rubbing against metal with friction” but in that particular recording… unless the audio has been messed with (which from listening to some other clips I think they have applied some hi and lo cut with roll off in post)
Robotics is expensive. One needs a team of software developer, electronics engineer and mechanical engineer to develop something. 3 people over 3 years with expensive hardware and couple millions $ for MVP needed. How many google ads for an app could one buy for this sum?
How a designer can revamp its interface? I mean that’s not a web page where you can basically invent anything you want. Should one need to learn basics of GTK, or whatever it’s made with? If so, how to do it then?

>Also Netflix initially planned more than one season

No they didn't. The article is pretty clear that they only greenlit one season. That 'locked for life' quote is saying that if Netflix decided to buy more seasons and/or spinoffs, Rinsch was guaranteed involvement, aka Netflix couldn't just fire and replace him (like NBC did to Dan Harmon on Community for example).
I've never understood why some people want to avoid these so-called "negative news" or even "self-censor" (for a lack of a better term) news themselves, like in this case. Can someone elaborate?

I think the reasons are probably many. For instance, the paper below posits that news fatigue and news paralysis (inability to make decisions) lead to news avoidance. Or maybe people just want to live in their own filter bubble(s)?

Are there any factual assertions that you disagree with in the piece? Otherwise this seems to be more anti-Binance than crypto itself (although the author's viewpoint on crypto is clear).
In fact, it might not even give you any names that point to an IP address, since it might be out of sync with the forward system, especially if the records are built by hand.
> He has values, and he values those over money.

I love the consistency of these points. He either values principles or maybe money, which are interchangeable, and whatever one of those I’ve just thought of is better than the other.
Unfortunately this is only part of the problem. Even studies on ML that use public datasets, which are the kinds of studies that when code is shared should be very easy to reproduce, are often surprisingly hard to repeat. Sometimes only parts of the code are published, the code has a lot of bugs (who knows why? Added intentionally?), the code is very badly documented, or the exact libraries are not specified properly.

And this is in a field where everything is based on code, where in principle reproducibility is easy. Go into materials science or chemistry and try to synthesize something following a published paper and you get all sorts of problems. Different equipment, different temperature, not all steps documented, ... Reproducing experimental findings can take you months.
