Are you saying we need a whole rewrite of the government?
I guess I shouldn't have said "recently", just checked and it was actually almost 2 years ago.
OP mentioned meeting notes (like otter.ai) and other ephemera. I think that really changes the risk profile.
True, and it's so ironic when the situation reverses...

Of the ads that recently slipped through my adblockers, one was a xenophobic piece of Hungarian propaganda against illegal immigrants. It was shown in the middle of a Minecraft video (a game without binary gender); that was made by a disabled person; to people living in a city where ~50% of the population was born elsewhere. Google does have all of that context, and yet this is what their ad selection algorithm picks.

This is one among many reasons why I have absolutely zero moral reservations about blocking YouTube ads. (inb4 ad money: I do support creators directly, as my budget allows.)
Use an internal Q&A / Quora-style tool with good search. Trying to keep little snippets of info like that under useful MECE categories only ever ends in pain & frequent refactoring.
25Gbps FTTH is available here in Switzerland, about $75/month (billed annually, 777 CHF).

And Switzerland is a country with very high labor prices.
I wonder if there is any correlation to the files deleted and the user accounts that were pruned--basically the file was deleted because you shared it with a user account that was pruned
I don't disagree with you, but I don't think that's the problem here necessarily. I admittedly don't know much about the attitudes of Portland's commission members.

I think more to the point the issue is that you can't legislate morality. Some people will break the law no matter how harsh the penalty, and some people will take advantage of permissiveness no matter how much you try to help. Some problems the government just can't fix.
Refactoring is really rather well defined. It's "
just transformations that are invariant w.r.t. the outcome". The reason they are hard to automate is that 'invariant w.r.t. the outcome' is a lot more lenient than most semantic models van handle. But this kind of well-defined task with a slight amount of nuance (and decently checkable) seems pretty well-suited to an LLM.
I’m a big fan of Qdrant, I also have heard rumors than OpenAI uses Qdrant as their vector database of choice.

I’ve been building a Hasura Data Connector for Qdrant and it’s been too much fun. Glad to see them getting talked about here.
What in the world do you mean exactly?
Hopefully not before it's on Farcaster, which actually has sufficient decentralization without sacrificing a global name registry ;)
Where exactly can I download my bank's app as an APK? Except random shady websites...
No, this is an oversight by me. To be completely honest, up until the other day I thought it was still called OSX. So the project was literally called cOSXpilot, but at some point I double checked and realize it's been called macOS for many years. Updated the project, but apparently not the code :)

I suspect OSX vs macOS has marginal impact on the outcome :)
This isn’t complicated. Conducting mass litigation based solely upon IP address evidence should be grounds for disbarment. Doing so with the intention of creating embarrassing public records is extortion and should result in fraud charges.
It's a KVM.
Yeah unfortunately I don’t think such tech exists and at our current tech level I wouldn’t imagine it would work and could present real safety issues - you’d have fuel pipelines running throughout the airframe which is likely a significant amount of really serious fire risk, all of this adds a significant amount of weight and maintenance cost, I don’t believe such adjustment thrusters exist but I could be wrong, and I’m sure you would still get things wrong in your prediction which means your thrusters would add wear and tear on the airframe as well.

This article is about a PoC where they put sensors extended out of the airframe of a small slow moving aircraft and demonstrated a 60% prediction accuracy for a 10% fuel savings. It’s unlikely this approach would scale up to an airliner. The sensor problem might be but I have big questions about the adjustments an airliner moving at 600-900 mph can make to successfully counteract the prediction.
Starlink available? It's not cheap, but should offer at least faster download speeds most of the time and better than 1Mbps upload from what I've read.
I don't want to get too much on the ai hype train - but it seems like this would be perfect for machine learning, trained on the wiki-snippets of the company and emails (initiator would have to set a flag saying this is going to be training data).
Have you looked into T-Mobile Home Internet?
Yes but ultimately those people are also responsible for chosing those systems and for electing politicans that allow this kind of behavior.
To be honest I haven't used SoundSource myself, but one of the early users of the app I made talked me about it. He mentioned he could select the input/output devices and Mac wouldn't change them when connecting a bluetooth device, as it does by default.

It's not exactly what my app does, but I thought it could fix the auto-switch for many users.

I'll definitely update the post if SounceSource cannot be used to fix the auto-switch. Thanks for the heads up!
The framework they're working with here isn't about specific recommendations like this. It is about non-memory safe languages, mitigations you can try to add safety, and a framework for moving towards memory safe languages over time. It's at a higher level of abstraction than "specific language with specific technique."

In the PDF the closest things they talk about to sanitizers are SAST/DAST tooling, which isn't exactly the same thing, and compiler mitigations, which aren't exactly the same thing, but I also don't believe this is intended to be fully comprehensive at this level of detail.
Why on earth should companies be completely immune for things they ask their users to post? Why should they then be allowed to promote such content and yet not be found to be an editor?
Soon we will have people wondering "why have all our favorite brand names faded away?"

In today's world, this will probably take the form of shareholder lawsuits.
I agree that it is our country and we get to shape it as we wish. But we should build on what came before. The Constitution is pretty damn good but obviously not perfect. I believe that the identifying feature of the Constitution isn't so much the words on the page but the underlying message. The whole of the Constitution espouses an idea that we, as a people, and individuals will agree to live under laws of the defined government IF the government stays in the bounds defined in the Constitution. If the government breaks their end of the deal all bets are off. In that sense SCOTUS constitutionality rulings are meaningless. If ruled constitutionality is different than the people's understanding of the Constitution it creates a sense of tyranny. If there are too many rulings that people feel are unconstitutional they will not tolerate it. The Constitution says it is the right of the people to replace their government. It doesn't say it has to be peaceful.

I would much rather see people participate in their own governance and take back control of the government peacefully before it is intolerable. However, history makes me fearful of a possible violent upheaval.
Indeed, and even in 2008 when this article was written Wikipedia had this explanation

> IEC 5009, the standby symbol (line partially within a broken circle), indicates a sleep mode or low power state. The switch does not fully disconnect the device from its power supply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Power_symbol&oldi...
If I remember correctly, that quote is from a (Jewish?) observer of pre-WW2 Nazi Germany.

Let's hope it doesn't fit today.
Surely I wouldn't need to ingest anything to monitor my bowels, mightnt I simply insert a device up my ass?
sigh That's not what I meant.

Apple decided where the boundary of competition lies by deciding to bundle their phone, their operating system, their app store, and their code signing policies into a package deal. A thicket of copyright laws forbid you from unbundling any combination of these. For example, I can't legally run iOS on my Pixel 8 Pro. It is legal to run Android on an iPhone, except the hardware boot ROM is designed to reject anything not signed by Apple, and Apple won't sign Android. You can circumvent that by taking advantage of security vulnerabilities in the boot ROM[0], and that's legal, too, but you can't legally tell anyone about those vulnerabilities because telling people how to break copy protection is a felony.

This same logic applies to application software. It's legal to jailbreak[1] your phone to install non-App-Store apps, but illegal to provide the jailbreak tool necessary to install those apps. If Epic had decided to release a jailbreak to install the Epic Games Store, instead of releasing a hotfix for third-party in-app billing and suing for antitrust, Tim Sweeney would have been thrown in jail for violating 17 USC 1201.

In copyright law, there's a concept of copyright misuse, which is what the courts call using copyright to break antitrust law. Copyright allows you monopoly control over your work, but you are not allowed to use that control to maintain an illegal monopoly that's outside of the copyright bargain. In other words, you don't get to opt-out of forms of competition you don't like. Congress decides those.

So no, "build your own phone and app store" is not enough. And letting Apple dictate the conduct of their competitors is effectively giving them antitrust immunity.

[0] Which are, BTW, once-in-a-decade. We've had a grand total of two bugs that can be used to install alternative operating systems on an iPhone.

[1] Jailbreak bugs aren't as scarce as boot ROM bugs, but they've been getting scarcer over time. This is not because Apple is doing a good security job, but because the NSA is hoarding all the good bugs for themselves.
Depends on your opinion of the reptile nature of those doing the controlling.
I'm confused. I'm anti-pornography, so I have no love for these guys. However, the law is clear that downloading videos you do not have license to is illegal. Shouldn't the focus be on fighting the crime. Using courts to enforce sanctions against monetary losses due to illegal activity ought to be encouraged. The government ought to take more action to prevent theft as well. That's what the law says. I fail to see why he should be painted as a bad guy for 'shaming' people for stealing.
I’m curious to know how this hasn’t cratered product quality in Japan, since I’d think that preventing even deserved reputation damage would reward behavior normally only balanced by that reputation damage, like pulling a product quality bait and switch. Is there another uncensored system? Is there a quality difference between exports and own consumption?
It impacted E3 a bit more than some of the others because they were attempting to pivot from Vendor facing to public facing and compete against established Cons like Gamescon or PAX and the pandemic blew up any momentum they had. It was the interception of their hail mary to save the show.
Exactly, there's even standards[0] for this.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol#Standards
Interesting. I remember when that symbol was first getting used, but I don't remember anyone ever explaining that until you just did now. To me, it always meant "on/off" (counting "standby" as "off"). I thought it was just an artistic way of taking the "1" and "0" that was often used on power toggle switches and combining them into a single symbol for a single pushbutton (the "1" is inside the stylized "0").
Starlink isn't cheap from what I can see, but may be an option if cable keeps going the way it's been going.

"Reliable high-speed internet, wherever you live.
$120/mo in most locations & hardware cost of $599."
Bandcamp doesn't need to change, it can just keep going. That's what I meant with "neither sale", because there were also some (if fewer) doomsayers for the epic sale.

It got sold. Nothing changed. And again, you own the music, if it stops existing that sucks, but only for the future, everything you bought, you still have.

And fwiw, I don't think anything for Bandcamp will change.
If I created the slowest mainstream Linux filesystem I'd be quite proud. Sneer all you want.

The original poster making this claim used a t-test to compare means (https://x.com/RobLynch99/status/1734278713762549970?s=20). Turns out the data is not normally distributed, making a t-test worthless (https://www.statology.org/t-test-assumptions/).

There might be other tests to do, but for this specific setup, the claim has been debunked.
Great, then submit a link to the other reports, not a blog post that says 6 months and doesn't expand on that.

Perhaps? I'm an LLM / NN layperson so I know basically zero. In my mind, the data is all smashed into a trillion numbers so there's no notion way of removing it as such.

Your point about fine-tuning it out is interesting though. As you say though, you'd have to be really sure you'd really erased it or made it "unreachable" .
You honestly think NYC is a good place to be poor? lol
This is why I'm looking for a place in the area... :D Not only for the beautiful scenery and wonderful people, but for the blazingly fast internets.
I once pointed out on a music theory page that a long name for a scale could be shortened to "Dorian b2". The edit was rejected because the chief whatever wanted a source. If you knew what Dorian means and what the second degree of a scale means you'd know immediately that what I was saying was true. I've hardly suggested an edit since.
Depends on the airport, it seems. SeaTac always has a full PreCheck line in my experience, and smaller airports often don't even have a PreCheck line!
I'm contributing back not in code but in the form of architectural and UX advice :)
More like they sell you an oversized spoon, claim it can scoop 1 cup per minute, in reality it’s 1/4 cup per minute, and if you actually refill your bowl with said spoon, they say you’re using too much cereal.

They won't even let me do that when I call them. :(

I really recommend just logging in once, the unregistered UX is crappy intentionally.

You're the first one to bring up First Amendment. We are not talking about it.
Note that "Freedom of Speech" and "First amendment" are different things. Freedom of Speech can mean laws (and there are other nations but just USA) but it also means an idea, an ideal. Crudely, an environment that acknowledges the old saying of "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me".

If you see the forest from the trees you'd see Elon actually runs a platform that favors Freedom of Speech more than any other platform by a country mile. On X any violations of it are exceptions (the ones you're talking about), NOT the modus operandi.
I disagree, falsely labeling things conservative is unproductive for the conversation of "what is going right or wrong in Portland, OR, USA". That's to say, context and the goals of discussion are important. We do a lot of committees out here, but most of them are with the aim of including a vast number of viewpoints. If your point is that we fancy ourselves the type of liberals that do everything but nothing well even to a dysfunctional degree then you and I might agree. If your point is to say there's some conservative operator out here speaking to struggles, empowerment, etc then I'd say you're off your rocker.
How is that exactly?

Launch one really was a comedy of errors in the launch platform.

In launch 2 the booster did exactly what every other booster by everyone else (except the falcon 9) does. Got it's payload to the target altitude before separation.

The second stage reached space.

The N1 platform didn't do any of that.

You have no idea what a testing platform looks like, and are too used to NASA one shot rockets that cost 3 billion each just to make sure nothing goes wrong.
Do I understand correctly that each frame one is to call the output/“.” command 33(number of pixels) times, 32(number of pixels) times for audio, and (number of pixels) for drawing to the screen?

Hm, and, the way to do this.. would it be to, before a part where you actually output the output, you first store what you intend to output in region of the tape, and then go through that part to make the output?

Also, what happens if the computations take too long and you don’t have time to compute the frame?
Barry-1[1] manages to climb 100 Km higher in orbit without using propellant. Quantized Inertia, on which the purely electrical thruster is based, starts to draw interest.

You can follow along, watching the Semi-Major axis. There are other experiments on board, once those are complete, they'll be switching on in a month or so.

There's a video that i can't find, where they show Raptor v1, next to raptor v2. The raptor v1 has all these wires, and tubes and looks crazy, next to it, the raptor 2 looks super sleek and not that complex. They ended up molding everything they needed straight into the block itself. Can only imagine what the v3 designs were since they are now all internal.

But what you get at the end with something like 3000 parts in it's BOM, to something like 20 parts in the BOM, because most of the parts were deleted and integrated directly into the mold.
Just read that thread. Crazy story but not suprised. This is the type of stupid decisions big corps do all the time.
It's a quote from Antonio Gramsci.
Drag and drop UI design kept me using qtcreator for way longer than I would have otherwise. Usefully, you can just plonk the layout file next to your python script to use it with pyqt, since the IDE's python support isn't great. (may just be my borked install)
Right, so, let me get this straight. This porn company makes films that are, presumably, distributed through licensed channels from which they earn revenue. The lawsuits they're filing are against individuals illegally[0] downloading their movies via bittorrent, from which they obviously don't earn any revenue.

Whilst I think a lot of companies bring bittorrent upon themselves[1], as it were, I'm not entirely convinced I'm quite as outraged by this particular company's conduct as I expected to be when I clicked through to the story.

[0] The ethics here can become decidedly contentious very quickly.

[1] And if you want to know what I mean by companies bringing bittorrent upon themselves, take a look at this discussion and the linked article, currently also on the front page of HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38613154. I could feel my blood starting to boil as I read.

The way I see it, current European conservatism manifests as nationalism, anti immigration, anti Islam, and anti green policy. I looked at French and Dutch conservativd parties and that seems like a fair description. They’re still in support of government funded education, healthcare, labor organization, vast public transportation etc… those are all hot topics to American conservatives. American conservatives also have their own colors of nationalism and anti immigration stances, but I’m talking class issues, as opposed to social and culture issues. I don’t live in Europe and not a politics expert, so correct me if I’m wrong
These problems are hard, but have already been solved. The B-1 Lancer has active turbulence reduction built into the airframe, via the small canards on its nose. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19840005129

It's designed to work at Mach 0.85, and was meant to increase the lifespan of the airframe during low-altitude penetration flights where lots of turbulence could be expected.

If you want to dig in just have a look at the RX-888 and it's ilk. Pretty much a case study in an effort to hook a cypress usb3 chip up to an ADC with the lowest BOM cost possible. Forget the matched predriver, forget buffers, forget analog, forget the clock, forget the reference designs and application notes altogether really. But oh yeah make sure you spec the 16 bit part-- we'll have none of that 14 bit shit thank you.
Thanks! You could probably grab what I have, and tweak it a bit. Try checking if you can screenshot just the error message and check what the value of the window.owner is. It should be the name of the application, so you could just append `Can you help me with this error I get in ${window.owner}?` to the Vision API call.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.—The term ‘generative artificial intelligence’ means an artificial intelligence system that is capable of generating novel text, video, images, audio, and other media based on prompts or other forms of data provided by a person.’

What does novel mean in this context? Does the name of a function already in a codebase count as novel? Or how about a properly spelled word?

I don't think the risk to autocomplete or spellcheck is as bad as this article makes out.

Hi, SysAdmin here.

We typically allow exceptions for those that have a common need to use a flashdrive and cannot leverage the typical network for access to the data.

That being said, we prefer not to create these exceptions, for reasons just like this, but it's not always our choice.
Yep for sure. Loads to consider here! My initial comment was just a brainstorm /bluesky thinking kind of idea. Clearly the implications are incredibly deep for security, data retention and a host of other concerns.
I mean, the studio you're referring to just launched a huge new IP this year. It wasn't very good, but you can't accuse Bethesda of "low-risk cash in" when they just released a brand new title this year.
Why do you care again?

It's DNA, not your BitWarden password.
Yes....I would too.... But would you reveal also the niche dark areas of porn that you are interested in?

I'd rather be able to see the updates on X. Unless you count chat apps like LINE, it's the only social network I really use.
That is not a false statement. "No action required" is different from "no supervision required".
That would certainly be an easy way to collect IP addresses of the "pirates".
