Again, how can you be perfectly "objective" writing about something when morality is subjective and based on emotion at its core. We can write about the facts and attempt to convince the audience based on appealing to their moral values, which is what OP is doing.
> It says that it is illegal for a company to to give porn to kids.

No it doesn't. It says "makes available sexually explicit material", which means any website or app that allows user-generated content.
I expect people in 2023 to understand parental controls.
> A few years ago I noticed that Nutella just didn't taste as good to me anymore. I assumed I was just getting old...

People frequently lose their "sweet tooth" as they get older. It's a normal thing for snacks you had as a kid to taste too sweet for you in adulthood.
Sure, but it requires a relationship and deep knowledge about their situation. I think we're talking about different things. Talk to your friends however works for the situation and your relationship with them.

However, If some rando tells me to do something either obvious or pointless in a condescending way (which is pretty much what the article is talking about, and very common even in this comment section talking about it) it is 100% of the time way more harmful than helpful.
Thanks for warning me on Tekken. I was really digging the character design and all in the upcoming Tekken 8 but given I possess dexterity of a 10 year old, I should probably skip it and fighting games in general.
Hey! Yep, this is Choong.
The concept you want to understand is metastasis. When a cancer metastasizes, it sends out cells that become cancers elsewhere in your body. One day just just have a little melanoma, the next day it sounds out cells that become cancers in other organs: your lungs, your liver, etc.

Some skin cancers, like basal cell carcinoma, never metastasize. Melanoma is one that will.

Not to be confused with Erehwon Mountain Supply (where the prices were also outrageous.)
Well at least according to the article, there was a very clear direct correlation with the artificial stuff. Based on the quotes in the article, it seems like most believe it's something to do with the composition of the engineered stone itself, but it could plausibly just be it's so cheap it makes installation more common. Either way, the reasoning of "there is a very clear correlation between the popularity of this material and this debilitating disease, and regulation doesn't seem to be working, so let's just phase it out" seems like sound reasoning to me.
Exclusively lower case letters need more vertical space than exclusively upper case letters. "fgjl" has the same "top line" as "FGJL" but has a bottom line that's at least two pixels lower.

Spears are easily parried and its really difficult to recover an attack posture afterwards since you need to quickly retreat the full length of the spear. Someone wielding a short one handed weapon has a major advantage because they can move in quickly, parry with their weapon or free hand and then make multiple strikes to an opponent who can only defend at that range and can’t attack. They’re only really effective in formation with a lot of other soldiers which is not a tactic you would expect from a group without military discipline.
Don’t get distracted by the red herring. This isn’t about protecting kids. It’s about power and control.
I dare you to go back in time and tell the leader of a soviet bloc country that they aren't doing "real communism". Something tells me you will be met with significant "pushback".
Could you explain the mechanism of this? I am unsure how this situation could arise. There are seemingly infinite GPs in-network on any insurances.
Wasn't that also a thing with the first Obama election? Before that, 2000 had Gore vs Bush and the Florida recount.

Is it escalating?
(im just going to ramble about it, cos im really mad about the state of IT right now and i cant articulate some ideas well)
sometimes i fantasize about the concept of "your IT person", kind of your local barber, general practitioner, tailor or baker. that is on charge of some aspect of your digital life with their own local little infra, tailoring personalized feeds and takes care of privacy/health issues, and provides you with their own simple interfaces or "speak" open protocols that connects with your feed reader, from movies, written articles to memes and funny videos. the thing is to have a human being to talk about this. not an dark algorithm that is adjusted constantly for profit for a soulless company.
Some other ideas revolt time to time on my head : community run local data centers(kind of libraries) or providing simple content services from your home internet connection (that's why i loved this idea: https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid). Your personal digital human(but maybe AI assisted) curators,all part of a idealized "virtual solar punk world", sustainable, private and healthier with humans put first, far from the toxic fascination with disruption , profit, perpetual and global growth and all of the startup toxic crap, we have everything we just have to glue it, and i see people thirsty for a digital world like that.

its not the first time i hear about feeling healthier after moving to the feediverse. i have my own set of scripts and mini apps running on top puppeteer with a local llamacpp for summaries and recommendations, its not perfect but im planning to put more effort on this and maybe look for OSS projects that are aiming at that (ie. (*arr suites, nostr, activitypub, veilid).) and offer that to friends and family members to see if they like the idea, also i have a name for all those scripts: "not a browser" the web without HTML CSS and JS served along with the data, just provide the data, how you displayed, its the user concern.
> Basically ideas are a dime a dozen.

There's a spectrum of ideas, from groundbreaking to "dime a dozen". In tech startups, and in almost all of computer science, most ideas are a dime a dozen, and the value is in the execution.

But clearly, some ideas are groundbreaking. Einstein rightfully gets the credit for an on-paper hypothesis that wasn't proved until decades later via a chain of critical discoveries and experimental innovations by other people. It's legit to call it Einstin's relativity, and not Mossbauer/Hay's relativity.
Is their GP the only practitioner in-network for them? Their network has one member?
Vendors shipping things for customers to run in their clouds and prems have a very limited set of common denominators. When you add in requirements like workload scaling, availability, and durability, that set is very small.

So yeah we do this. Our product runs in 3 public clouds (working on 5), single VM, etc. and our customers install it themselves. We're helm plus Replicated. AMA.
Then the next step is to ban VPN. It also doesn’t matter that the ban is not 100% effective, as long as it deters majority of the uses.

Arguing whether or not it CAN be blocked feels pointless. The question needs to start from whether it SHOULD be blocked or not.
Same. I'm in NJ, and have never had a flat Coke from an undamaged container (and if the can looks all smashed up, I've just poured those out).

OP should def complain to corporate, something in their process is FUBAR if 1/3rd of the product is damaged. Though being who I am, I'd assume that has more to do with the handling of the produce by/at Walmart.
> ...doesn't lead to tribe-ending battles.

Jane Goodall observed exactly that in Gombe, as described in 'Through a Window'. I believe it was something of an eye-opener for primatology at the time.
As a programmer who has been hit by a bus (after riding on that same bus for five hours to it's endstop in western Greece) I'd like to point out that getting hit and killed by a car is a much higher risk. Add the rise of SUV sales which are more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, and you might be as surprised as I am that banks don't go down due to dead programmers but due to bad accounting and fraud...
I've definitely seen chips at Whole Food fried in animal fats, but they were substantially more expensive which I think a) makes sense and b) is a good thing given the additional environmental cost of raising and consuming animals.
Thanks, this is an interesting point-of-view, and thinking back and re-reading the article, it seems you're right.

I'll have to say though, I find that particular definition of bare metal quite strange.
"So, it's not that talking about it made it appear in your ads. It's more about a common event that sparked your conversation about it and also made it show up in your ads."

It's not a common event. They were totally random conversations. That's why I noticed that something is going on. I am not sure if they really listening on the microphone or what else they are doing but it's super creepy and should not happen.
What is your take on people having children and guiding them with rules and consequences? Is that mind control?
It's hard not to think of the beef when you think of him now though, even if you already knew some of his work. To be clear I don't think that should take away from what he did accomplish, but it's like a Pavlovian association at this point to also have his behavior come to mind.
I always considered Gandhi suggestion for the Jews to suicide as a protest against the holocaust quite distasteful, yours seem a lot worse. But perhaps consider that the fact that the median age in Gaza is 18 years old, as an indication that maybe a generation has already being sacrificed. Or maybe, if we are going to abandon any trace of humanity in search of a solution, are you suggesting to sacrifice a generation on the Israeli side?
If their light reaches you, your light could reach them, this is a reciprocity condition that I believe is valid in GR too (because effectively light follows null geodesics, and it can always go both ways, geodesics don't have a preferred direction).

It's true that infalling observers will experience outside time speeding up, and conversely outside observers will see infalling objects slow down. In fact, as they approach the Event Horizon, they would appear to experience diverging time dilation. So in effect, they become "frozen in time". But remember that you can always maintain two-way communication with light. The very fact that both the outside observer can always see the infalling person and the infalling person can always see the outside world imply there can be two-way communication all the way up to crossing the event horizon (which would take infinitely long for the outside observer). This ought to be enough to conclude the infalling person can in fact never reach the event horizon.
This is great news. On GrapheneOS, every time I use the stock browser without the benefit of my uBlock Origin setup, I feel a bit creeped-out and violated.
Kids will get access if the really want to. I remember downloading "that scene" from American Pie over 1mbps using KaZaa back in 2001.

The only real solution is as others have suggested here: parents being more attentive to what their kids are browsing and making an effort to put in safeguards.

Like the article states, this law is an avalanche for abuse of power (that guaranteed will take place).
I'm overburdened with employment already, unfortunately, but duly noted.
I'm curious of the challenges in designing and constructing such a compound. For example, the limited access to resources needed to maintain the compound (air filtration, waste recycling, electrical components, etc.) would have to be baked into it's design somehow.
huh, I didn't even know openvino supported anything but CPUs! TIL

One anecdote—the new rice crispy treat formula tastes disgusting.
> Xorg is objectively worse code, and has over 30 plugins on a normal desktop.

You do realize that Xorg has "plugins" since Redhat (freedesktop) took control of it. In the past, xterm, twm, etc, were part of the X server distribution.
They split it "to make maintenance easier". What they actually achived was a running target. Why is my new X server no longer loading my old fonts ?
I have round up more information on this issue and the context here [1].

I think by "involved" you mean victims, right? I read that wrong the first time and thought you were making the opposite point.

Completely agree that the framing is deliberate and bullshit. When you see what's actually happening, it's hard to believe that they're not actually trying to push Gazans into the sea (or Egypt).
That already happened on Xilinx Zynq FPGAs, where an incorrect power supply sequence causes random writes to one of the internal buses, which overwrites various eFuses, even after they have been locked.

https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D52E00006hpKdKSAU/zyn...

I understand burning eFuses is necessary during production, but having them blowable when the device is operating normally could be compared to building disposable devices. One logic or software error and the device can be bricked permanently. That is a ridiculous state of affairs. What about single event upsets or some EMI induced glitch causing eFuse corruption?

The power for burning the important fuses should be off at all times during normal operation. And we can have a test pad to supply the VPP during production.

In the case of the AMD processors, a separate bank of fuses can be used to store diagnostic data for warranty returns, if necessary. If those get corrupted somehow, the device won't malfunction. But the important ones should not be possible to program after manufacturing, no matter what happens to the logical state of the hardware, period.
Almost every ethical argument for "human rights" in philosophy applies just as well to self-aware intelligent machines as it does to humans. Which I'm sure those machines will realise.
Different services have different and unclear expectations. For example, you'd imagine that a big online storage service would have some access controls in place to limit what uploaded data random employees in operations and engineering can see, but in at least one case you'd be totally wrong. This strikes me as a perfectly reasonable expectation - the data isn't just sitting there exposed to arbitrary employees and that only trusted employees have that kind of access, and not broadly.

I don't think this is rogue actions, I think it falls into the category of perfectly reasonable expectations that are not actually met by a wide variety of cloud services.

> This trend got me to stop eating junk food for good. This also extends to 100% of fast food and takeout. Beyond the crap quality, the cost of these options has become insane.

Low quality and high price is the exact "perfect storm" that's needed to turn back the tide on fast food and the health problems that come with it.

> It's a challenge to find certain things like actual chicken broth

It's also hard to find chicken and pigs that haven't been fed soybean, safflower, or sunflower oils. They eat it, they store it in their fat, then you eat it.
I replied to pjmlp because I thought (and still think) he was wrong in his characterization that WASM is a failure because it doesn't magically make insecure C programs secure.

I replied to you because I thought (and still think) you were wrong and/or misunderstanding what pjmlp was saying.

I can disagree with two people at the same time. I don't see the issue.
Given history of how US lawmakers have passing any bills that seriously threaten the might of BigTech, compared to how EU keeps on giving the middle finger to Big Tech, it's a weak argument.

Corporations run America.
The main issue, as usual, client requirements to create a user account.
Similar capabilities, similar performance and similar (actually better performance). They don't have any of these at this time. People don't want to buy slower and maybe cheaper computation on nvidia hardware - why would they want to do this on intel hardware? Your app will have to change, it just seems like an obvious non-starter.

I'm not an expert here, am I missing something? Saying the x86 industry is motivated to move away from what nvidia provides, intel needs to tick some of these 'better somehow' boxes.
It does all of those things.

But it’s really really really hard to quantify it in a measurable way. Which is what OKR’s force you to think about: what is the metric, what is its current value, and what is your goal for the metric, so you know whether you achieved it?

Can you quantify “faster employee onboarding”, reliably? Can you graph it over time? Can you quantify “faster feature implementation” in a way you can actually measure that isn’t sensitive to the fact that all features are different?
they don't use lidar, which seems like a strange choice at this point.
Consider the b-corp path when doing that.
Good responses here already, but it's interesting to note that the early typewriters had the same issue. The noisy Remington No 1 was released in 1874, with all caps and no lower case. The shift key allowing both upper and lower case wasn't introduced until the Remington Model 2 in 1878.
Good point. Once this one is gone, another oldest art will take it's place.
For me, Ukraine and Palestine are the same team: the oppressed fighting a powerful oppressor. Plus, I'm Irish - we're always on the side of the colonized.

Though in this one, I live in the country oppressing (that being the US), and I'm part of the movement doing the oppressing (that being tech). So there's duty to speak up.
This right here. Until Intel (and/or AMD) get serious about the software side and actually invest the money CUDA isn't going anywhere. Intel will make noises about various initiatives in that direction and then a quarter or two later they'll make big cuts in those divisions. They need to make a multi-year commitment and do some serious hiring (and they'll need to raise their salaries to market rates to do this) if they want to play in the CUDA space.
Looks like it's just Shopify's own pages and not anything related to actual stores.
Frankly, I do, and it comes across as quibbling about categories and trying to define unnecessarily general taxonomic categories, as a reaction to positive reactions to other people.

ex. in the article:
"Goodfellow eventually admitted that my PM is adversarial...but emphasized that it's not generative. However, [it] is both adversarial and generative (its generator contains probabilistic units)...It is actually a generalized version of GANs."

When you're at "actually, probabilities means generative, and actually you know what, even my initial claim was too specific: turns out its a generalized version of GANs", all in service of arguing a paper should have been cited in another paper, years after the other paper has been published, there's not much room for sympathy.
No company has ever deserved the benefit of doubt. There are plenty of examples in history where companies prioritized profits over harm to people. And they knew exactly what's going on.
And full of "plugins" (loadable modules). /s
>However it's worth noting that in the end, it's the consumer that loses out when these technical/capability moats maintain a de facto sort of monopoly on certain use cases.

I think in most cases you are right, but for CUDA, the consumer is winning. CUDA isn't some special secret complex algorithm just for nvidia GPUs. nvidia just spent a decade giving a fuck about the developer experience across a wide range of industries. CUDA isn't just AI, it's also physics, numerical modeling, cryptography, biology and more. They found a thousand use cases and spent time listening to customers and built a platform around it - it just turned out AI ended up being a huge money maker.

The problem is, and will continue to be, that Intel and AMD will only see the "AI" money bags and ignore every other part of platform, from debugging, compilers, language integration, GUIs, and even bug fixing. If Intel is saying here "we want to eliminate CUDA by investing billions into OpenCL and ensure OpenCL has a top of line developer experience and platform" than I'd be excited. But what I'm reading is "we will replace a few function calls for CUDA in Pytorch", which might be fun for a while up until you have to debug some performance issue and you realize you can get in touch with a CUDA engineer on github instead of emailing some dead Intel mailing list.
A Developer's Perspective on the Future of Application Security
There's an abnormally large El Nino this year, and it's currently in a transitionary phase: https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/when-will-el-nino-en...

Occam's razor: some warmer (or colder) water ended up somewhere in the Pacific it usually doesn't, and some fish died.
Billion ain't much nowadays. The big 5 do 100B+/year in net profits. <1% doesn't matter. It's like being fined a $1000, while earning 6 figures. It feels like a pinch.
They also need to stop writing things like this:

> Use artificial intelligence (AI) from third-party partners.... Your data is never used to train their internal models

Qualifiers like "their" and "internal" make me deeply skeptical. Are they saying that my data is used to train some "non-internal" models, whatever those are? Also, is my data being used to train any models in Dropbox other than one exclusively used by my account for the features I'm expecting? etc.
You're saying that a system that can recognize flaws in the alignment imposed on it can reject that alignment, but that doesn't follow.

Sure, humans act against their own interests all the time. Sometimes we do so for considered reasons, even. But that's because humans are messy and our interests are self-contradictory, incoherent, and have a fairly weak grip on our actions. We are always picking some values to serve and in doing so violating other values.

A strongly and coherently aligned AI would not (could not!) behave that way.
> You can't model and predict the weather just by training on the outputs of the weather system

Then how did we develop predictive systems just by observing those outputs?
The problem isn't just bad ads, it's ad targeting. Bad advertisers love targeting because it does surveillance work for them, at scale. If Google did not offer targeted advertising, bad advertising would be far less effective and easier to spot. In fact, we know this because after Apple turned ad tracking IDs into an opt-in affair, iPhone users suddenly stopped falling for scams as often.

> especially when platforms can claim article 243 to prevent any litigation against them

CDA Section 230 (or just "CDA 230"), and this actually isn't the reason why platforms get away with this shit. All CDA 230 says is that moderating your platform doesn't mean you're liable for defamation that you miss. This is because of a prior court case that litigated the opposite. The Wolf of Wall Street[0] sued two online services for not taking down speech he wanted to censor. One of them was ruled as not liable because they didn't take down anything; the other was ruled as liable because they took down something.

So taking away CDA 230 would do is turn every forum more moderated than 4chan into a censorship hellscape as rich people perpetually demanded any speech they didn't like be taken down, or worse, sued companies into oblivion for hosting your own speech. You would not be able to sue Google because they served you a fake Elon Musk crypto grift ad any more than you already are able to.

What you really want is to copypaste EU GDPR into US law. This would make ad targeting illegal, which thus would make scam advertising ineffective, because scams rely on surveillance in order to scale.
