> Fibally,a braver can be a very dangerous animal when startled/provoked/cornered. Around here every person is told in their youth, "don't approach beavers" or if they bite you in the leg (usually groin area) you'll bled out in 20s.

Don't approach wild animals if you don't want them to bite you? This is just common sense.

Overall, the issues you discuss pale in comparison to the benefits they provide. Humans have built developments where naturally there would be beavers if they hadn't been wiped out. The lesson isn't that we need to fight nature harder to preserve our victories against it. The lesson is that we need to be more thoughtful so our developments aren't incompatible with beneficial natural processes.

Representative democracy as practiced in the U.S. does not usefully solve for single-issue politics outside of things like abortion / gun-control that also split along a pre-existing partisan divide.

So, sadly, it doesn't matter who you vote for; you need to start earlier in the process.
Was it required he even show up to work? Presumably the checks would keep coming.

On the other hand, in a just world, continuing to show up would make it impossible for the company to try and claw back the money. He was available even if nobody asked anything of him.

I am more interested in how he was caught. There are many people around me who seemingly do nothing, he would just blend into the crowd. Were there layoffs or some other accounting of personnel that forced the issue?

This feels like the reason you'd like for E3 to have failed, but doesn't line up with the evidence. E3's attendance peaked in 2005, well before booth babes were banned and groupies were cracked down upon. It's decline started right as video streaming took off on the internet, and accelerated as companies like Activision and Sony began pulling out of the event, making it less and less relevant or useful.
This is Accelerationism and I don't think it will actually lead to a better outcome--almost certainly will just lead to fewer/larger banks and not postal banking. I cannot see a slight chance of postal banking ever happening in the US when we can't even agree on other more fundamental things. Just look at who spends the most on lobbying. Congress isn't going to bite the hand that feeds them. So good luck.
Well, because that change is impossible to reverse. No matter how hard they try to bring back work in the office, remote companies have a significant cost & recruitment advantage against their competititors which won't go away.

The economic incentives will push toward remote being the norm for most office jobs, whether they like it or not.
That sort of makes sense if you interpret it as circle/line and not 0/1. A circle for an open vent and a line for a closed vent.

Okay, sure, I dont see these aspects of the PRC the same way you do.

Taiwan hasn't always been the little democracy victim. They were quite totalitarian until like a couple decades ago. They have a competing claim to the shape of China that makes a mockery of the entire nation state concept. Its fun to imagine a democracy version of China, but a lot of the border disputes would be the same, the status of tibet would still be the same, and so on. Its the same people, they just lost. Its very similar to the story of the Hunger Games and realizing the liberated 13th district was the same as the status quo. Once we get stateside semiconductors this stops being our problem.

Next, debt-traps. The IMF and World bank do the same, I cant create a separate higher standard for China. These approaches are far superior to colonialism by force, which is an inferior model that the west/US also does. The US’ colonialism currently undermines its own national security by its approach to the middle east. China’s approach completely exempts it from Jihad and allows it trade and growth. Sorry, cant take the US perspective on this one.

Totalitarian norms: I disagree about China’s expansionist ambitions. I think this is once again projection from the west. China’s norm extension occurs when interacting with China, so if you want movies there you have to change the movies, and they monitor their citizens and students around the world. Their business, I wouldnt want to grow up in that environment but its their business.

But everything you wrote reads like projection. Its not just about how hypocritical the west is, our main disagreement is in the scope of China’s political aims. I think culturally they are quite contained, they want a unified China and enhanced trade, thats it. This will be at the expense of Taiwan and fishing zones, and thats it. Countries might even do trade in their currency, omg oh noes.

It'll be interesting for many countries to see how this program fares. From anecdotal evidence on my part speaking to friends in Europe, Canada and some places in South America, it seems housing has become very expensive.
This is nonsense. If enough elderly people want a community, they will form one. Especially if they have means, as the article postulates people do. The reality is a lot of elderly people don't want to meet new people. They want their family to visit and that's it.

If the family doesn't want to visit you, it's probably for reasons. So make sure to have and maintain good relationships with the people you care about. Whether you are currently young or old or somewhere in the middle.
Much of the neighboring areas of north Georgia and western North Carolina also have widely available fiber from the local electric and telephone co-ops. Obama's broadband stimulus paid for much of a fiber backbone that connects them running from north of Atlanta through the Tennessee Valley to Asheville and beyond.

My place in WNC is, sadly, just outside Blue Ridge EMC's footprint. Pay $100/m for 100/4 cable. The billboard on US-129 proclaiming "Big City Speeds & Performance, Small-Town Personal Service" irks me every time I pass by because the service is every bit as shitty as that slogan made me expect.

>> That's like saying there's no point in having 2FA or strong passwords, because the FSB, the FBI and Mossad can get in anyway.

> Unlike your password, your DNA is unencrypted and gets spread everywhere.

This doesn't address the point. In both cases, someone sufficiently motivated could get what they want from you. So by your argument, there's no point in maintaining privacy for either piece of information (DNA / passwords).
> Tell me true, if you can't buy them how on earth it is piracy to download them?

People would argue that it's up to the seller whether they want to make their creations available. If I don't want to sell you something, then I'd entertain the argument that downloading it anyway is in some sense immoral or unethical.

But in your situation, you've already fucking bought it! It's as if you placed a pick-up order at the bookstore, showed up to pick up your books, and they told you to eat shit. In which case, acquiring it through other means is completely acceptable, morally and ethically.
Not the OP but I use a Walkolution MTD700R WANDERLUST [1]. It's expensive as all hell but I've tried motorized variants from several other companies and they all have the same fundamental problem: they will try to throw you away from the desk if you forget to turn it off and suddenly come to a complete stop.

The self-powered ones allow you to suddenly stop when you need to talk during a meeting or if something urgent surprises you on screen.

I'm not a fan of setting multiple resolutions (hardcore focus), so I've only set one for this year: to get 1 (one) paying user for my SaaS app.

That looks like piracy, but paying someone for it? Thanks, but I actually prefer to support the artists I listen to, and when I can’t afford to, or it’s impractical, to not pay those who prevent artists from getting money.
I buy mp3s so I will always have them. People think I am a crank- maybe so.

The difference with media today is that the control often stays in the hands of another party, often not the rights holder. I can accept that knowing that everything I buy I am just renting.

The thing that scares me is how a third party can make something effectively impossible to discover. In this generation that's done for profit. But you can imagine where that will lead when what everyone sees is curated in a way they aren't aware of.

Ironically, Mistral cofounders just took down their similar clause. Google has nothing like this. Anthropic and Inflection both do.

WS also has such terms, really bad because they're in charge of Rust Language. Conflict of interest.

TL;DR: I meekly suggest we boycott these companies because they are heavily and explicitly anti-competitive and this goes for all their businesses (Microsoft OpenAI and Microsoft GitHub) also it all runs on NVIDIA chips which have similar terms.

Great job on Phi, but this is not for me!
I wonder at what point does SaaS become a national security risk in the event of a solar event, (biggest-ever) cyber attack, terrorist attack, or some other calamity that takes down the internet for an extended period? Having virtualization software like vmware as-a-service would cause 2nd-order effects if it couldn't phone-home to renew activation.

Photocopiers? Yeah, I saw that symbol on some of them. But then even some of the image results show that manufacturers of photocopiers and printers, particularly targeting general consumer market, let their designers get creative with the shapes, colors and labels on the buttons.

> One person who posted in the Cybertruck forum was unhappy that they only received the version of the order agreement with the lawsuit warning after paying a $250 order fee.

> The buyer told us that he paid a $250 order fee on Friday and previously paid a $100 reservation fee. According to the order agreement, Tesla doesn't have to refund those types of fees if a buyer cancels a purchase after submitting a completed order.

(emphasis mine)

You only find out your order fee is nonrefundable when you receive the order agreement after you have paid the order fee.

There is no way that stands up in a court.
Show HN: Benchmark Deep CV Training Pipelines in Less Than 3 Minutes
Hi!

We've built a small open-source library that might be useful to deep learning practitioners around here.

TLDR
It's a benchmark tool for computer vision training pipelines that can be run in less than 3 minutes without relying on external datasets and complex setups.

Not TLDR

A few weeks ago we had to buy new training GPUs. After much research, we found our top 2 candidates - A6000 and 6000 Ada.6000 Ada is a newer GPU, roughly 2x the price of the A6000. The million-dollar question was: does it also have 2x performance during training computer vision models?

We searched all over the web, and although we found some benchmarks, we weren't 100% sure in the results. And when you're shilling out $4000+ on a GPU, you better be 100% sure the GPU is worth it :)

The main issues in the found benchmarks were:

* No measurements for the more modern CV architectures (ViT, SWIN...)

* No measurements for the non-classification architectures such as UNet

* No Mixed-precision measurements

* Missing measurements on specific GPUs

* No details about the measurement process: is data loading part of the benchmark, how many benchmark iterations, did they use warmup steps and how many steps were in warmup

* What was the computer configuration besides the GPU?

* How does the performance scale with more GPUs?

* Complex setup for benchmarks that can be run locally

* Benchmark repo out of date

* Messy output formats

* Unknown software dependencies: CUDA, cuDNN, pytorch...

With that in mind, we decided to create our benchmark tool for CV models that is easy to setup and use. Plus, it's also open source so you can check how it works for yourself!

Key features:

* Easy to run because everything is dockerized

* Only measures the pure training loop performance -> no CPU and disk bottlenecks or any other overhead code

* All software dependencies are known

* Supports all major training features: mixed-precision, multi-gpu, DDP

* Supports major CV architectures: from VGG to vision transformers

* Lots of parameters to configure: batch size, input width and height, precision, number of benchmark iterations, warmup steps...

* Logging to a CSV file

This is the first release so feedback and pull requests are more than welcome!
Why do the actual work when you can just come to the HN comment section and rant about what you think it means!
That is not unreasonable thinking but the government doesn't agree with you. See 18 U.S.C. § 1466A(c).

NONREQUIRED ELEMENT OF OFFENSE.-It is not a required element of any offense under this section that the minor depicted actually exist

That section of the US code covers obscene visual depictions of minors. Different from actual child porn but punishable with the same statutory minimums/maximums. I could only find a handful of (publicized) actual prosecutions that used that law. Here is a notable one: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/texas-man-sentenced-40-years-...

In that case, he was obviously a sick person and running a commercial enterprise that catered to pedophiles but none of his material involved actual children. They were short stories and cartoons. He appealed and lost.

Technically speaking, wired connections use physical RF bandwidth on the wire, rated in MHz/GHz to specify channel width, and bond these channels together (usually some variation of QAM) to provide you the ability to serve a particular amount of throughput (rated in bits per second/Mbps).
The article clearly explained that this was not possible in their case.

> keeping track of exactly which taxes apply and which don't to who, from 3,143 counties and 19,495 cities isn't a trivial thing to do.

I don't see this isn't a legitimate beef. If you can't comply with local regulations because you serve too many municipalities it sounds like you aren't a good fit to serve those customers. Perhaps the solution is to sell your infrastructure off to smaller, local companies who can comply. Or heck even just other equally big companies who are well run enough to manage such a problem.
Sure, but my point is that no one is training anyone so now they can't find people with any training, yet they still refuse to train them.

I don’t think this is more about liberalism and individualism as much as it is a consequence of global capitalism. “Old communities” that we reminisce about so much, although strong when it comes to social safety nets, were very rigid. Most people did not venture out beyond their own communities, and even if they did, it was temporary. There was also relative homogeneity in economic status and socially the communities were relatively conservative. New ideas were less acceptable.

What you see right now is people moving away to pursue better economic opportunities, which naturally causes intermixing of people from different facets of life in a neighborhood, which then can lead to the “loneliness” depending on how many things people have in common.

If you go to areas with fewer or less diverse economic opportunities, those communities we want still exist.
