Is there even any reason to think interplanetary is easy? We have a lot of stories saying so, and we intend to do it but we don't even have a loose plan of what that would look like.

Creating a closed self-sustaining ecosystem capable of supporting large animal life & cut off from the earth's resources is not something we've been able to do even at a proof-of-concept level.

We're very confident in ourselves but idk. It's not preposterous that life is a planetary expression and that it's simply not possible to expand an instance of it beyond the planet that birthed it. We assume we aren't subject to this constraint but we haven't demonstrated it at all.
While Gordon can win the 100m race, he would have to get a new strategy for the 200m and higher though, since the course for that race will be curved and any jumps longer than a few meters would cause him to move or cut in and out of the neighboring lane.

You can buy/rent streaming content a la carte in many cases (modulo exclusives to a streaming service). Given the prevalence of all you can eat streaming, I think many people forget this.
The most popular licenses for each language in 2023
Cool, let's put everyone through the same scrutiny and licenses to drive a Tesla as we do for aviation pilots then.

That's certainly one way forward.
> I love gaming on Arch. But I am stupid enough to use an nvidia card, which means that I have no Wayland. I am eating shit due to the drivers every few months. There are a whole host of good games with awful DRM that I can’t play. Steam is good but it’s still DRM.

Not sure what you're doing wrong, but using arch with latest kernel, nvidia drivers, and I play Steam game daily on it with xorg or wayland to mostly stop using my PS4/5 again. I tend to flip back and forth between xorg and wayland, and xorg I still get odd kde compositing bugs, and wayland the compositor has a persistent memory leak that'll use all 128gb of my ram within a few days. I get lots more fps with wayland (particularly yuzu for switch emulation), but I have to restart kde every few days, which is a KDE problem, not Steam.

Otherwise gaming has been great since Proton picked up, but if you do still have problems, use install Proton GE from AUR. If anything doesn't work with default, it does almost certainly with GE.

If games use invasive DRM, or like Epic/Ubisoft/EA with their garbage launchers, F-em - they don't get my money anyways. Plenty out there that don't to have to deal with crappy mega company BS.
That's not secure boot. It's possible your memory test only runs in BIOS/CSM mode, but that setting has little to do with secure boot. CSM disables secure boot, yes, but only as a side effect.

If you're on Windows, try launching Windows' memory test instead. That'll work both on secure boot and UEFI.
Let's not mention the original cuts of Star Wars.

Pirates are (involuntary) archivists.
I agree with the arguments on fragmentation being an issue but I do wonder to what degree it's the content being produced. There's a reason why the recent South Park resonated with so many, and if you think it's because of bigotry you're not really getting it. People will hesitate when asked to pay money for a product they feel isn't genuine, regardless of how they view the world.
Is that actually the law? Can I get a link to that? In slovenia we have a "suggest-to-government" website, and i'll put the working example there and hopefully at least gain some traction somewhere

Revolutionizing Industries: How AI's Latest Advancements Are Shaping the Future
Yep, GabeN has always been right on the ball with this. I stopped pirating games altogether and have like 900 games on Steam at this point. I still pirate music, shows, movies and software quite liberally, mostly because trying to find what content is on which platform is a massive hassle. Jellyfin + sonarr/radarr makes it completely painless plus I actually own the files and they can never be retroactively removed, so why on earth would I go with the alternative?

I still pay for stuff on Bandcamp, but that's not because it's easier but because I want to support the artists I enjoy more directly.
I agree with that, but I wasn't clear I think.

You can find euclidian geometric proof of some standard arithmetic theorems, but geometry isn't the right tool to prove really complex arithmetic theorems.

Try to make euclidian geometry complete enough to resolve all arithmetic, and you will probably find yourself in front of contradictions (I stopped doing math after my bachelor, so I clearly might be wrong about that).

Why do we need to expand th9se theory? First correct the issues left within the defined context. Then find more contexts and see if you can define a new theory or use an old one?
Which version do you use?

People often say things like your comment and 99.9% of the time, it’s poor prompting or a lower GPT version.

GPT-4 is remarkably helpful for many coding tasks. If you can’t find use for it, that likely is more of a user problem than the tool.
Conker's Bad Fur Day: 20 Years Later (2021)
It's awkwardness reminds me of dry British humor similar to The Office. Very few shows are like this in the US.
I don't get why you'd have a 100+ lambda function app... i can see purpose built lambdas (ie we have one for "graphql" and "frontend" and a few backend services) but unless you're at Meta size, why would you have 100 lambdas? Do you have 100 teams?

Purple Llama: Towards open trust and safety in generative AI
There are two processes at play:

- refuse the updated terms of service

- refuse the arbitration

The previous version of the TOS had arbitration too, so I'm not sure what all the stink is about.

Both versions tell you that you have 30 days to opt out of arbitration by emailing arbitrationoptout@...

As usual, the journalists failed at the job and are spreading misinformation.

Current version: https://www.23andme.com/legal/terms-of-service/full-version/

Previous version linked at the bottom: https://www.23andme.com/legal/terms-of-service/full-version/...

Go to both and search for arbitrationoptout@ and you'll see they both have the 30-day opt-out.
By now we know none of this means anything if a notification is triggered with the message content.
Nice writeup.

It is a serious problem that the ecosystem is held back by wasting resources on personal disputes with immediate consequences for end users.

Hate on OpenPGP all you want, it still is an important technology with unrealized potential and growth.
We are simply watching the birth of a new religion. Religious people aren't religious because they're dumb, intelligence is mostly not a factor. Same thing here I think.
It's a quantum degree of freedom, not one that is spatial.
Just to share a positive from 23andMe, given all the bad press around here.

I got on this service a couple years ago. I am adopted and had spent a long time trying to track down one side of my biological family. I had very little to go on other than a first name and general whereabouts 40+ years ago.

As it became more popular, I had half siblings and, eventually, my biological father reach out to connect.

Its been great knowing I have that connection finally. We're planning to meet soon.

This is a huge benefit of this kind of "opt in" service, but I recognize how devastating it might be if someone was concealing my existence for, say, religious reasons and a data leak or loose privacy settings from a common relative revealed something.

It's a nuanced issue, but my experience has been immensely positive in that it gave me something I may never have had.
IMO, the fact that GR is time-symmetric is actually a quality of the math underlying the physics

i.e. the theory, not reality, is where time symmetry comes from.
and this is also exactly why those theories have predictive capabilities

but reality is still asymetric in the temporal dimension
I'm surprised to see Biodome there, I never met anybody who disliked it.
Steam's DRM is optional (edit: by this I mean it's a checkbox that the devs can tick if they want Steam DRM for their game) and extremely lightweight to be fair, and it's been cracked for 2 decades at this point as well.

MTX and Always-Online BS is also down to the individual games, nothing Steam can do about it realistically.
i saw that yesterday!
I think the timeline and price tag are overly optimistic, but agree we can expect massive benefits from the lift capability of Starship.

The cheapest big telescopes I could find with a quick trawl are the Hobby–Eberly Telescope and its "clone" the SALT. They cost about $20 million each, compared to similarly-sized telescopes in the $80 million-and-up price range.

I doubt there's a project time-line since the 1970s from inception to first light of under 5 years, which would put us at 2029 already.

Perhaps the aim should be to have lots of "good enough" unit instruments, rather than one world-beatingly big one that politicians or billionaires find stimulating to throw money at.
An alarming portion of people in software industry can't code. Leetcode or otherwise. This was shocking for me when I started interviewing but it is what it is. Most people just can't code.

I don't like brainteasers and never propose anything remotely intimidating. After all, interview is a stressful affair as it is there is no need to make it any more so. But I'll never hire a person who can't write a few lines of code on demand either.
Yeah. A lot of it to me feels like the JRPG version of reality.
The 'F' is silent, as I put it when explaining what RTFM meant to an elderly relative.

> I was particularly impressed this year by a demonstration of debugging stack smashing

I'm glad you liked it - and that's useful feedback for other demos we give!

> I'm still waiting on the keyserver to be able to run in Kubernetes though

I believe support for that is on the way. If you're already in touch then I imagine you'll get an announcement soon.
lucky you, mine blew up over a decade ago, nonetheless it's still brand new!!
These are corporate lies, not leo lies (in this situation). They were using this narrative to mask their poor fundamentals. The retail version of "extend and pretend."
For me it is surprising that the Passion of the Christ is not more polarizing.

Even, or perhaps especially, as a Christian, although I appreciated it, it was brutal to watch. The violence felt very visceral. This was a movie I rate highly, but can’t say that I enjoyed watching.
I think you are sort of abusing the github logo above the "Closed Source - for a sustainable business model" text. Most people associate it with open source, it doesn't even make any sense there!
There are. But there are also people seem to be on the opposite side no matter what.
For me it's about that dopamine hit whenever I finish a feature. When I'm finally testing a new feature or functionality I've been working on I get an immense dopamine rush, likewise if a feature is taking me too long to finish it's much the opposite feeling. I don't really get this working on work projects because there's inevitably rules I have to follow. On my side project though it's something about having access to the entire plane (frontend, backend, DB, etc) that gets me excited, because I know there is no blocker that I have to rely on others to solve.

There's something something intoxicating about working on a large side project knowing that you're in absolute control, if I see a bug, any bug, I have the power there and then to fix it, no asking permission or working with other teams.

Then there's also the financial motive, I get the chances are minuscule but there's something so incredibly intoxicating and sexy about knowing that there is a non-zero chance that the project I'm working on may one day make me a multi-millionaire or a billionaire. It's a bit like walking into a casino and knowing that any slot you pull the lever on may spit out a jackpot. The rational part of my brain knows to keep my expectations in check, but I do let the "lizard" part of my brain out once in a while to daydream about what yacht or jet I'm getting once my side project IPO's
Don't forget that there's a sequel. Edit: actually there are TWO sequels. You can't forget until you complete the Birdemic Cinematic Universe.

I'm pretty "fuck the police" myself, but what if a cop tells you the sky is blue?
>note: this is different from presenting a different vibe from how you actually are IRL which I generally advise people is long term counter productive

No, sorry, that's exactly what a LOT of this advice is doing - getting someone to change how they communicate to satisfy someone else with ways and methods that aren't natural to them.

You can test whether this is really true if someone is willing to accept written answers to interview questions exchanged over email. Clear communication supersedes the format.

You cannot pretend this is anything other than pressuring people who prefer to communicate differently, which is fundamental to human tribalism.

But I've observed it is always one side that should be satisfied, rather than reaching a compromise.
I’m surprised none of Wes Anderson’s films are on this list. In my experience his work is incredibly polarizing. People either absolutely love it or can’t stand it. I’m in the love it category but I dig quirky films.
And Charlie Stross is not a particularly common name so you could hope for it to be more accurate then for most.

My name is somewhat more common (although not the full John Smith) and apparently:

1. I'm a multitalented artist ... "is not only a successful actor, but he's also a singer, songwriter, dancer, and businessman. He's released several music albums and singles, and he's also starred in numerous films and television shows."

2. And I'm also a style icon... "is known for his stylish fashion sense. He's always on point with the latest trends, and he's not afraid to experiment with different looks. He's also a fan of streetwear and luxury brands."

And so on.

For the record, I'm not even monotalented and my personal style is closer to cosplaying last of the summer wine than anything else.

Salesforce Signals the Golden Age of Cushy Tech Jobs Is Over
Sometimes I feel like these are the “plastic-free bag” solution[0] designed to make the market embrace the “tried and true” old way.

[0] There was this chip bag from a major chip manufacturer and it proudly claimed the bag was plastic free (might even have been compostable), but it was the thinnest, loudest, crinkliest bag you’d ever heard. It seemed like the chip manufacturer board meeting went like this: “The people want us to cut out plastic! For the environment or something. Don’t they know how much easier and more profitable plastic bags are?? You know what? If they want plastic-free we’ll give them plastic-free... We’ll make them regret even asking...”

That bag didn’t last long before it vanished never to be seen again.
I don't think it's that music is dominated by a few big labels. Film and television is substantially dominated by a comparably small group of organizations.

The difference is that music licensing has for the most part not been split into channels or subject to exclusive licensing. Music availability has usually been somewhat universal. If one radio station can air a track, most of the others can too. If one store can sell a record or CD, most of the others can too. If one streaming service can stream something, most of the others can too.

With movies and TV, this hasn't really been the case. Typically, one cable TV channel will license the content exclusively, so if you want to consume that content, you need that channel.

The video streaming model we see today is just a natural continuation of the previous business model based on competing through exclusivity. This isn't to say that it makes sense, just that that's the difference of the two.
That film was particularly interesting as (maybe unintentionally on the part of the film-makers) both sides of the political spectrum thought it was satirizing the other side.
yes, you're fine. it's not the end of the world.

This sounds similar to what Apple's iMessage does as well. Ultimately, if the user cannot check which devices that their client is sending messages to, then yes, the central server can tell clients to establish a pair with a hostile device the central server controls.
I think the only person who really cares about those tracking tools is the marketing department.

I have no good reason as to why the EU live stream has 3rd party cookies. However I set up online streaming for two small TV stations in my country, they wanted you to be able to watch the channel live on the station's website, we were able to see how many people were watching the stream live and I never had to use 3rd party cookies. It's not that hard to set up and it is cheaper than you'd expect now days, even video capture cards/devices are much lower price than back in the day.
Then it must be raining

Hopin isn’t really a Silicon Valley company. The founder is an Australian living in the UK, the team is remote and the lead investors in the unicorn rounds (Coatue, Tiger Global) are NY based.
Oh yeah… a country where most safety features… seat belts (for example or lead poisoning) are results of whistleblowers, yet the path is paved with retaliatory actions , hr taking it like a personal jihad to prove the conversation wrong …. I can personally relate to what it feels to take punches

If the person has pre existing medical condition like diabetes, doing good will literally cost one’s life . Living the experience, for voicing discrimination at employment situation

Have interviewed 176 attorneys over 2 year period with only 5 confirming that the discrimination is illegal , but they had signed agreements to not represent employees.

Found out that one can buyout judges, apparently a judge can punish a legal practice if they don’t want a whistleblower case be presented

Strange, I have that laptop model and booting off USB drives works just fine for me (GPT+1 giant FAT32 partition+the UEFI capable ISO just extracted onto the disk). Maybe update the firmware? It could also be some kind of weird compatibility issue with specific USB drives, I wouldn't know.

Lenovo also recently released a CVE fix, possibly even for this vulnerability, so you may want to check for firmware updates regardless!
The biggest bug in email encryption is that important message data & metadata can't be encrypted for SMTP to work. It's a bug in email, and there's no backwards compatible fix.
I'm sure that works well in the US. In my locale not so much.
Someone I know argued a number of years back that Napster was about convenience not price.

I disagreed at the time. And I still think that's too blunt a statement for the population as a whole. But the popularity of streaming music services in particular does suggest there's definitely a lot of truth to it for many people at the right price point.
-_- it’s extremely disappointing to see the number of articles claiming a time reflection mirror would,let you see the back of your head, for example (1):

“ In the acoustic version of this observation, you would hear sound similar to what is emitted during the rewinding of a tape.”

Yes.

“As a result, if you were to look into a time mirror, your reflection would be flipped, and you would see your back instead of your face.”

No.

That is not how it works.

Practically speaking what you would see is a frequency shift (color change).

Where does this bs come from?

Reversing a light signal (light bouncing off your face) does not result in a signal that doesn’t exist (light bouncing off the back of your head). This is just absolute nonsense. If no light bounces off the back of your head, there is no possible way to make light bouncing off the front of your face transform into the former… unless the front of your face and the back of your head are indistinguishable.

There’s science reporting trying to explain complex ideas in simple terms, and there’s just making stuff up. :|

Read the paper (2).

“At such a time interface, a portion of the input signal is time reversed, and its frequency spectrum is homogeneously translated as its momentum is conserved, forming the temporal counterpart of a spatial interface”

Here's Geoff Hinton discussing spiking neural nets: https://youtu.be/2EDP4v-9TUA?si=E4D5YNGQGdYSiTIy — from an interview with Pieter Abbeel in June 2022.

From the paper:

> Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have been an attractive option for deployment on devices with limited computing resources and lower power consumption because of the event-driven computing characteristic.

But training them requires new techniques compared to continuous neural networks — SNNs aren't differentiable and therefore you can't back-propagate (as I understand it; please correct me if I'm off here).
Companies are to blame because they are the ultimate decision makers. This is how responsibility works. If you kill someone, you'll be blamed for the murder, you won't be able to use "the circumstances lead me to it, I'm poor I needed the money" or "my brain/hands decided to do so" as a defense.
if there has been life on earth at least 3.7 billion years. and the universe is approx 14 billion years. so i would assume life is very common. they seem almost co-existant or co-dependent as illustrated by the life cycle on earth.
