This does make me ask questions; namely, why the hell would anyone risk allowing compression more complex than RLE [0] in a firmware picture format? It's almost asking for trouble.

Wikifunctions are arguably the prerequisite to making that effort, since even if you extended Wikidata with more semantic connections, you couldn't do anything with them.

This is a large part of why Abstract Wikipedia's goal is NLG, and almost all of the initial Wikifunctions facilitate NLG.
"No apparent cause." That doesn't mean there is no cause. Doctors just don't know what it is in that case, which is my point. It's the same with cholesterol levels now. It used to be you got high cholesterol "from eating too much cholesterol" until they realized some people just have high cholesterol regardless of what they eat. So they continue to seek a cause.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone can predict his whims accurately but I do think that’s more likely to happen with usernames which have more mainstream value than the W3C.

Maybe so, but I curse it. It hides too much and is opaque and unintuitive. I can never really figure out how to do anything in it without doing a web search to get the answer.
There is no world in which supporting an operating system for 14 years, 8 years past the support of the vendor, can be described as “extremely inconvenient”. Again, they are not deleting anything off of your computer so your snark about wiping my machine is disingenuous and irrelevant.
I got an urgent travel appointment for my toddler about a month ago with little trouble, though I suspect it would be more difficult in the summer. We got her (first ever!) passport on the same day as the appointment, 1 week after calling to make it and 4 days before our planned trip to Canada. It's probably easier if you don't apply for your passport ahead of time because you can get your appointment up to 14 days before. I am lucky to live a few blocks from a passport center though, it's not really practical for everyone, and of course, there's no guarantee that an appointment would have been available.
From what I can tell by the demo video, the Windows process seems to be injecting the bitmap before calling a reboot without calling into the flash utility.

I wish I could put up a nice customised image without having to mess with firmware files. It's kind of stupid to include a logo feature but then to remove the image file every time you install an UEFI firmware update.
> Apparently if one is a sole proprietor in a country that does not have the respective tax treaty with the US, one can be obliged to pay US Social Security and Medicare out of foreign income.

China lacks a treaty with the USA, which means Americans working in China pay to Chinese social security/medical and they are not transferred to the American equivalents. But ya, you pay SS/medicare on your stock dividends and even your sales to pay taxes (consequently, which you might also pay Chinese payroll taxes on).
This is what I was looking for, thanks. Gonna give it a spin with friends.

The text on the button on their site was “purchase” as of a few years ago (it’s now “reserve”). Also, the apartment analogy is a good one. There are a lot of clauses in apartment leases which can get your lease revoked. In no case would it be ok for you to have made an archival copy of the key to keep access.

How do you know GPT-4 is 1 shot? The details about it aren't released, it is entirely possible it does stuff in multiple stages. Why wouldn't OpenAI use their most powerful version to get better stats, especially when they don't say how they got it?

Google being more open here about what they do is in their favor.
That's a great(?) dystopian movie scenario.

All pregnant women are moved to Region0. They give birth and then moved back to their place of origin right after the birth. The babies stay there and are raised for 18+5 years (pre-school, school, Uni) and then they audition for their 10 countries of choice (kKinda like the 'draft' in the NBA)

Great reason to live in a semi-arid area I guess, mold just doesn't grow here much. Current outdoor humidity is 26% and this is the wet part of the year.
Adding to what others have said, it contains functions that can be used to do grammatical transformations of nouns/verbs/... as in some languages those rules can be quite complicated. So having a central function that converts singular->plural for example is a huge win for maintainability
This is great news. My kids are both dual citizens of the US and Japan, born here. I know when they turn 20 they'd pick the US if forced to and that has long stressed me out. They'd be giving up so much and would probably regret it later.
I see zero basis for such claim
Going by your definition, since the article refuses to show actual meaningful numbers, it is too a miserable speculation
Cool, that makes sense. Are there any now doing this off-the-shelf where a schema can be passed in and the response will be valid JSON that matches the schema?
For some values of "world".
I mean, I don't know how it's stored, but it does still have a boot logo. I guess if it only supports really tiny logo files for whatever reason that reduces the amount of code an attacker can give it, but that doesn't feel like a very good defense. Edit: Oh, or if the older firmwares only supported a logo that was hardcoded into the image and that can't be updated separately, that might help. Still coincidental, though; you certainly could have a user-controlled logo with BIOS, and as the article notes, there are UEFI implementations that also hardcode the logo.
The US has no moral right to ask for tax for people who haven't stepped inside its borders all year.

That's why Boris Johnson renounced his US citizenship.[0] He's a British politician who was their Prime Minister from 2019 to 2022 but he was actually born in New York so he was a natural born US citizen.

The US really should adopt a territorial tax system for individuals like the rest of the world but it might be reasonable to apply the system we currently use for individuals to corporations that do business in America to stop them from stashing cash overseas to dodge taxes.

I bootstrap each project by spending hours or even months finding and procuring just the right domain name. There is no other way.
I'm sure there are all sort of companies with very strict isolation requirements. But your typical enterprise will run your code editor in cloud VDI, host on atlassian, deploy using atlassian, deploy on some other cloud provider and be developed by double outsourced junior developer who's got warezd windows licence. I fail to see how adding another party who says they explicitly don't collect your data will make any difference.
> What would the system be as an alternative? You are born stateless and have the ability to declare (or in harsher terms, need to audition for) citizenship to a country of your choosing?

That sounds like a fine plan to me. "Auditioning" could consist of military or other volunteer service.

> At what age?

18, unless you're an orphan or emancipated, in which case you can do it sooner. Before that you inherit the citizenship of your parents or legal guardians, but only until you turn 18. Then you have to choose. Most people would choose to retain the citizenship they grew up with, but it would have to be an affirmative decision. I don't think it's right to be a citizen of a country to which you have not pledged allegiance as an adult.

Because that machine/openAI was built on literally scraping the internet (regardless of copyright or website's ToS) and ingesting printed books.
The incident happened in 2017 and automated gates were installed in major Japanese airports in 2018.

(Funnily enough the last exit stamp I got was from Gare du Nord in early 2020, as PARAFE eGates wasn't extended to US passports back then)
Japan is the "oldest" country in the world, with an average age of 48yo, while the US is 38yo. A big chunk of their population is already above retirement age, but there aren't enough younger people to fill in their spots. It's gotten to the point that many companies (which used to force retirement around age 60) are now raising it to 65. And while they use to allow those who were retired to "re-apply" for their job at reduced pay, they are now being given bonuses to continue working past retirement age to maintain steady employment numbers.

The next generation of Japanese are facing very difficult lives of either 1) higher taxes in a nation with an already high cost of living, or 2) a total and complete inability to retire as they get older.

> Isn’t this because everything today is designed to be mobile first?

Yes, that's an enormous part of the problem. Mobile and desktop are two entirely different worlds, and you can't have one interface that can deal with both and do so well.

I think it's a disgrace that desktop UI has been made worse because of the existence of smartphones and tablets.

Thanks for the reply. Would the Spotlight sidecar possibly be able to run independently and consume spans emitted by the Sentry exporter[0] or some other similar flow beyond strictly exporting directly from the Sentry SDK provided by Spotlight?

They are written in python but SQL is in the roadmap.
The way UEFI loads image files differs per firmware (and sometimes firmware version). On some devices all you need to do is drop a LOGO\Logo.bmp file into the ESP, on others you need to flash a modified firmware image. The latter requires a lot more permissions than the former, of course, and with firmware downgrade protection, flash-based attacked should only work right after a new firmware has been released (or if you choose not to update your firmware for whatever reason).

The authors seem to imply that there are semi-standard ways of loading user-supplied images in UEFI firmware, and I'm kind of interested in how they achieve this without reflashing the motherboard's firmware.
This is the one redeeming argument I know for printing out PDFs, redacting them, and scanning them again.

To be honest, I also wouldn't be 100% confident in my own abilities to properly redact a PDF in any other way! (Maybe by going through a PNG, which saves some paper but otherwise still breaks everything else that printing and scanning would break too.)
> which is a language known for its vulnerabilities

C is not known for its vulnerabilities, it's known for being fast, portable, and low on abstractions. It's a perfect fine language to write this kind of code. There are techniques like fuzzing and using things like valgrind that can catch invalid input and memory issues quite quickly.
> Is it still piracy?

Yes.

> I have a license for it.

The “it” for which you have a license is not the media you torrented. It’s the version you access from the licensor via the licensed mechanism.

These kind of faux-legal arguments are extremely tiresome because they’re proposing gotcha hypotheticals which are clearly covered in the text of the license.
That’s a good way to think about it yeah. It’s not 1:1, and also can be extended beyond Sentry, but that was our MVP.
A lot of popular services available today are built on the idea that you have to turn normal people into addicts.

> It's a much bigger nuisance and risk to have several smaller parties to handle court orders; some of which could indeed be in other jurisdictions by the way.

I’m not sure this is true: a small company is less likely to have the legal resources or confidence to stand up for their customers’ rights. I’m sure you could find examples going either way at either size.

Being in a different country helps but only if the company has sufficient security to even notice if the NSA decides to take advantage of them being outside of the US. I would bet Apple and Google have that level of expertise but not everyone else.

"Solely"? You didn't think this through well. Dual citizenship very often comes from being born to parents of two different nationalities under ius sanguinis, and then the two passports might even be essential for being able to regularly visit both sides of the family without having to deal with the visa issues that could arise from one of the passports being weak.

Countries with diasporas to the US or other wealthy countries often permit dual citizenship because they want some of that diaspora to return, at least to retire, and bring some of that wealth back, and letting them keep their old citizenship leaves the door open for that.
Whoa, I never knew (and accidentally discovered through this) that empty strings are valid substrings of other strings.
My current company is not spending millions with GCP, but we were trying to. We spend a lot on GPUs across AWS, Lambda Labs, and colo data centers.

At my previous company we had dedicated account managers of course. You are completely correct that we had line of communication to engineers working on the problem. That just doesn't mean very much when they don't know how to fix the problem quickly.

At that company we were multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, Rackspace, Hetzner) and had even more workloads on AWS. Never had a problem as bad as the problems we had on GCP.
I wish there was a website where you could input your food sensitivities and it would tell you what digestive dysfunction you have.

Yes, but I wouldn't be able to come back. And Mexico is the only place I could go.

Any chatbot/AI that i can't say "please refund this order due to product being damaged here is a pic" and it can't do a refund on its own is worthless. Not because i care about refunds, but if the bot can't do that, chances are it can't do anything real and its just trained on a bunch of docs and is worthless otherwise.

It's also 10x worse when the website has a green circle on it like teams/zoom showing it as "online" and makes you feel like you are actually talking to someone.
Eh. It's more complex than that. Citizenship represents a kind of mutual obligation and tethering, for better and worse. While a metaphor of monogamy vs polygamy is probably too far, I'm struggling to come up with some other analogy.

I'm a dual citizen for the record, and believe in having it, but I do believe it is something to be taken seriously.
