I don't understand all the love for Dune. I read it, it was ok, and that was it. 3 underwhelming film adaptations is more than enough.

Special effects don't make a movie anymore. What matters is plot (and music). For example, "Colossus the Forbin Project" is very good. Some other very good scifi movies:

. Invaders from Mars

. Flash Gordon (1980)

. Terminator

. Star Wars IV

. Alien
My guess? The ad tracking is a daemon regardless, but when you disable it regularly it disables the daemon. However when jailbroken, there may be code within the jailbreak or an assumption within the OS code that has two processes fighting over starting it and stopping it.

For example the jailbroken code might have something that tries to keep all daemons running and the OS sees the ad one running and tries to kill it.
I'd say it's first and foremost a political tool. Pseudo dictators especially love it.

Let's say you're a mayor who needs to increase the price of a public utility by 10%, what do you do? You announce that this price will be increased by 30%. People get furious, protests ensue (sometimes, it's even desirable if riots start) against such an outrageous increase! What to do? You should be as invisible as possible during this turbulent period and let others take all the heat, only to come out at the end announcing that yes, the people have spoken, and as a result the increase will be limited to 10%. Now, the people are happy; it's democracy in action, they have the power! The mayor is happy; he's got his increase happen. Happy ending.

Maybe his account is not true premium as tied to old GM account. I had a few months last year. Quite pleasant compare to usual "naked" YT. But nowhere as good as vanced and then revanced, UBO, VPN+Adguard, pi-hole, and tonnes of fake Google account created from all over the world and outsourced the passworded access to 3rd world to be abused so to confuse Google algorithm. Since using all these to thwart Google tracking and ads, I stopped YT premium after 3rd months as really no point I can do better than their premium service - and cheaper too. I thought premium frees up my time to tinker but they still track and occasionally ads do get thru.
Manipulating the mTOR pathway involves making a trade-off based on your preferred type of death: on the one hand we have frailty, hip fractures, muscle wasting, etc, and in the other metabolic diseases, cancer, CVD, alzheimer's, diabetes etc.

But, you can probably still grow strong enough from life-long resistance training a few times a week+eating enough other (plant) protein. I believe that this is the modern longevity recipe from what we have learned so far from the mTOR/fasting/leucine/isoleucine/methionine research. I hope we soon learn more about optimizing anabolism/autophagy in a targeted way instead of the entire body, that's what it all seems to boil down to.
> The free ride is over.

But it was never free. Ads have been on Youtube for years. From a 2011 article entitled "The History of Video Advertising on YouTube":

> In January 2009, YouTube started allowing ads in seven different formats. By October of that year, YouTube was counting more than one billion video views per day.

> The first targeted advertising on the site came in February 2006 in the form of participatory video ads, which were videos in their own right that offered users the opportunity to view exclusive content by clicking on the ad.[29] The first such ad was for the Fox show Prison Break and solely appeared above videos on Paris Hilton's channel.[29][30] At the time, the channel was operated by Warner Bros. Records and was cited as the first brand channel on the platform.[30] Participatory video ads were designed to link specific promotions to specific channels rather than advertising on the entire platform at once. When the ads were introduced, in August 2006, YouTube CEO Chad Hurley rejected the idea of expanding into areas of advertising seen as less user-friendly at the time, saying, "we think there are better ways for people to engage with brands than forcing them to watch a commercial before seeing content. You could ask anyone on the net if they enjoy that experience and they'd probably say no."[30] However, YouTube began running in-video ads in August 2007, with preroll ads introduced in 2008.[31]

I don't know about all cables, but Cat 6 has a generally accepted minimum radius of 4 times cable width and there's some standards to back that up.

You can also find datasheets for industrial cable that specify it for fixed installations and repeated flex applications: https://www.sab-kablo.com/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/catalog_... (notably this has 5 times the diameter, so it wouldn't pass some standards)

Consumer cables, not just Ethernet, probably do have such specifications when produced in bulk, but the manufacturer that turns reels of 1000 metres of raw cable might not include it in the end manual (just like they usually don't include the frequency response curves in there).
Professional deniers are propagandists, not good-faith debaters. Lack of nuance is one problem, but there's a far bigger problem with groups of people knowingly trying to poison and undermine anything that resembles reality-based consensus.

This reminds me of a cartoon I saw recently: “Every single person that confuses correlation and causation ends up dying!”
50% of the top 100 most starred, i.e. used, packages are not representative of the entire community. Not to mention that the vast majority of those SciML packages is developed by a relatively small group of people, compared to the rest of the ecosystem. If all a potential user cares about is SciML, good for them! I've repeatedly said that users not looking for SciML are left behind.

Yes, SciML is doing good. I'm not denying that, and never have. Still, the rest of the community/package ecosystem is not good at catching up - which is what I'm criticizing.
They just announced another free year for people with an iPhone 14, so it looks like we’ll have to wait another year to find out.
The privileged people in Saigon fleeing the new regime escaped mostly via connection. For example, I know people here who fled on US airplanes/ships. They were educated, and most likely knew some French/English before coming here.

The "boat people" were more likely from the coastal town (like Vung Tau), who dropped everything and got on tiny boats, packed like sardines, hoped to get rescued from other fishing boats when getting out far enough to the ocean. They are often poor folks with nothing to lose, and willing to accept a coin flip chance between death and escaping to the US. For this part, I don't have the concrete statistics. But from the stories I have heard, the survival rate of those boat escapes is worse than 50%.
I often grieved and feel melancholy for my lost teenagehood through adulthood. I'm someone who feels fundamentally incomplete without a relationship that's both romantic and actively sexual but I've largelynonly had fascimiles of the first and only caught up to the second at the age of 27. It's been very rough being a male nerd in this predicament. The only times I've felt truly complete and happy were when I felt like I'd found those. It's all only slowly gotten better through an amount of self-work foreign to the average person.

I often think how I'd prepare a straight son of mine not to have the same black hole in his life from middle school to 27. Strict nutritional monitoring, at least one mandatory sports team enrollment (I would have hated that too but it would have made me more fit), some extra push to talk to and ask out female classmates (not sure on the right reward structure, something to do with allowance, allowed to quit the sport or the gym while in a relationship?), some structured knowledge given and tested on at home about how relationships develop and how to approach them from good sources like HealthyGamerGG, pay for photoshoots and such for dating profiles in college if he's not succeeded much by then (it's gotten insanely competitive how good a man needs to be on there). All based on what I think might have helped me in my dark years. My parents meant well but were clueless and naive, all they could say was the old "be yourself" and "there's someone out there for anyone", perfect mindsets to stay in the dust while your peers have the time of their lives.

Any parents had success in this area with a disadvantaged son?

This is not a matter of who is smarter. The US tax code is very clear on that point and is not open for debate.

If the studio decided not to release the movie it was most likely because the expected marketing and distribution costs exceeded the expected revenue. Or maybe they didn't want a crap movie to damage the long term brand of a valuable character that they plan to leverage in other products.

This is related to the Q* stuff that is making the rounds now. I was quite impressed with this when I first saw it years ago. The little 2D robot is able to learn sophisticated looking behaviors with just reward based reinforcement.

Observations of the behavior of humans inside their personal rapidly moving death boxes only drive us to a single conclusion: the fact that we currently don't have flying cars is a blessing to everyone both involved and not involved.

Yes, but we must inevitably pay taxes to some government. If you can find one with zero blood on its hands, let me know and I'll be the first to emigrate.

True, but we must work somewhere, and few corporations are purely good. And some large corporations that have done many regrettable things have also done many valuable things. Do the good things a group does enter into its calculation?

They harp a lot on the environmental issues of current refrigerants as a value proposition for this new device. I think that logic makes sense with older refrigerants, but R744 they are literally using CO2 as the refrigerant. Of course CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but in this usage it effectively acts as sequestration. Seems like that is already a really good solution from a climate impact perspective
Because it was gonna bomb, and make less money than it would cost to market. It really is that simple. Warner/Discovery is mega-cash strapped right now. They may literally value $100m now more than $200m a year from now, as they have a massive debt to service.
In the end they are not actually that great solution. Specially if they do not use lift bodies...

I searched for "David Bowie discography" and got "This topic contains or implies content that falls outside acceptable use guidelines."

Then I searched for "David Bowie". It slowly generated text, section by section.
Much of its output was repetitive and slight. It generated a section called "Early Life and Career" and then "Birth and Childhood" with largely similar information. It then abruptly wrapped up the article ("Conclusion:
David Bowie's first solo album, "David Bowie" (or "Space Oddity"), was a pivotal release...) with no information about what happened to David Bowie afterward. The actual text had many hallucinations. It said "Space Oddity" was Bowie's first album (it was actually his second), and said the album achieved fame with the Apollo Moon landing in 1972 (which happened in 1969.)

Maybe in a few years something like this will be viable. Right now, it seems inferior to Wikipedia in every aspect.

Or ditch the reasons that banner could be necessary.
Absolutely. I summarise it as "abstraction is the curse of the age".

My wife works in governance, and when a proposed new policy is being discussed, she is always the one to say "so, how would the policy work in this situation, with these people involved? [Outlines a situation.] Tell me the steps."

And, of course, the elegant, abstract policy is shown to be unworkable or lead to manifestly unfair or absurd outcomes.

I admire my wife's patience greatly.
I'm the outlier. When my 20 year old Tacoma pickup finally succumbed to a suicidal deer jumping onto a busy highway, I got a small SUV with roughly 50% better gas mileage.

By that time Tacomas had grown about 50% larger (so it seemed) but mainly about 50% more costly than the SUV, so I went with the SUV. AWD really is a necessity in the hills.

And my (smaller) cargo doesn't get wet.

Most SUV's apparently are way larger, but here in the hills, small ones abound.
I can't relate. I'm a Python programmer and I don't think I ever used a Python version other than the one provided by my distro. Unless you run a very outdated/"stable" distribution, interpreter versions are no more than few years old. Most serious projects don't just jump on the new language version on the day it's released, certainly not my projects, so I never had the need to run a bleeding edge interpreter.

Seems to not be working. I tried the same prompt twice. My trial credits were used but there was no image generated, nor do they appear in My Images.
For some reason this really speaks to me.

I think it's because we create a story about every part of us and our life. Every thing we do (sometimes we even do it after the fact).

I feel like those beliefs are what's keeping us grounded in the sense of understanding the world, of being in control. so it makes sense that we would start with them even if we are not aware of it.

And it makes sense that it's hard to let them go because without them you get a sense that you are just floating away and don't have any to "hang" your assumptions on.

You can reason a lot but there comes a point when things get bigger than you and you have to trust some other authority or just trust your gut.

There's not many people that could comfortably reason from first principles and be satisfied with where they end up. (I don't think I could do that)
It's a bummer that Meta didn't give this a little bit more love. Would be cool if I could play Cicero. Playing online would be really cool, naively it seems like the absolute amount of compute needed for each marginal game shouldn't be that high. Meta could even harvest my gameplay. But I'd settle for being able to run it on my own hardware, unfortunately the github seems abandoned, the model weights encrypted, and there wasn't enough interest in it that they got leaked--much less packaged into something easier to install.

Seems kinda bizarre to me to spend all this time and effort making an AI play a game that requires a very human touch, only to shutter the whole thing. Why not have a few people package it up and let anyone who wants Play it?

The leak about Q* feels like an olive branch to let the former OpenAI board and Ilya save a bit of face, probably part of the terms for Sam coming back plus it distracts from all the drama and puts a positive spin on things.

>"The board didn't handle things well, but they were right to be concerned because OpenAI did have some sort of research breakthrough"

Not coincidence that this leaks after Sam comes back, rather than before when it could have made the board look more justified in their decision. This changes the story from incompetence to "it's a problem only OpenAI has because they are so far ahead and close to AGI". Masterful PR move to leak this and shift the narrative
After moving to Switzerland I remember receiving a pamphlet with something like 15 different types of recycling I was supposed to do. There were special trash detectives that could fine people and imprison those who couldn’t pay. I lived above a recycling depot and watched locals diligently separate their trash by type of metal, color of glass, and like 10 other factors. Then once or twice a week I watched the pickup guy come by with a truck and dump the bins into one big, mixed pile in the back of his tractor-trailer.
It's a small cluster the size of large cluster.

It's pushing the boundaries of a spreadsheet's practical usability to be honest. I would not use it for more than a few hundred at most. In fact I just checked my largest sheet is 292 rows. Anything larger goes in anything else! Usually I use SQLite for local storage data like that now.

A funny problem I had a few years back was a company with users keeping 200 meg+ Excels sheet on their desktops. It took them forever to log off every day because the profile was copied back to the server.
Just because something is designed to do something doesn't mean that it will.

Especially on long time scales.
Japanese are taught to wash out containers before recycling. It's even on TV.

They also have the most over-packaged goods I have ever seen, individually wrapped sweets, cakes etc wrapped in a plastic box and given to you in a plastic bag (3 layers!) not being unusual. (There is now finally a plastic bag charge introduced last year.)
> The one area where IMHO the jury is still out is LiveView.

Agree 100%. Unfortunately LiveView is quickly becoming the way of doing things, which I think is ill-advised. It makes the language larger, and is still too much in flux (it's not even v1 yet).

LiveView is great, but it's not perfect and has real drawbacks.
Ah, there it is. Thank you!
Granted, I'm not saying it's a positive term or the one we should keep using, but it is the one we've ended up with.

Also interesting is how the 3 displays present in aesthetically pleasing way because they are identical (resolution, size, bezels, etc).

I've used spdif in coax and fiber (toslink) to transport audio from tv (atsc1) and dvd where you're just bitstreaming the data from the antenna or the disc. It's also fine for 2-channel PCM.

Dolbly Digital (ac-3), dts, and 2-channel PCM are fine for what they are. More channels in PCM would be nicer, as would other newer higher bandwidth, lossless codecs, but as a unidirectional signal, it's hard to add support for more stuff. It's not terrible for a standard from 1985 to not support full bitrate audio on blu-ray.
I wonder if there’s a good reason this is based on Ubuntu instead of directly on Debian. It seems the latter would be simpler.

Assuming that an AGI will have human-like emotions is likely a mistake. They may very well experience something like emotions that resemble human emotions, but they may not. Or they could have an entirely different set of emotions that we don't recognize.

We simply don't know, just like we don't know what other species experience and can only guess at by observing their behavior and trying to map it back to what we know.
