I'm just imagining the fights my peers had with their parents over piercings as teenagers escalated to a government action.
Yeah, what? I grew up (in the same era) using AIM and Yahoo, ICQ was a little before my prime. Everyone I talk to about those days used them as well. MSN was fine but AIM and Yahoo were where it was at for the bulk of my early years of instant messaging with friends. At one point a friend even made me an AIM account because I was using MSN and they wanted to chat with me but didn't want to do it through MSN.

Obviously just 1 anecdote but I just wanted to share that my experience and your experience were dramatically different.
Is there not a legal term for government using business to do end-runs around citizen rights? Collusion?
I found this discussion on the local llama subreddit that digs a little bit more into what effects the sliding window might have, in case you or anyone else reading this comment thread finds it interesting: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17k2mwq/i_dont_....

It refers to the original Mistral 7B though not the new Mixtral fwiw
I wonder if using Qubes-OS will solve some of these security problems.

The architecture is pretty good, and I’m surprised it has not been already adopted by OS vendors. But on the other hand, there is huge amount of code installed, and with far fewer eyes on it.

Another option is ChromeOS, but that’s tied to google. Also, I’m not sure if it can replace Linux desktop (there is option of installing Linux).

A third option is a minimax Debian. The software that the user needs will mostly be installed in VMs.
> In your world, without TSA or similar authority, plane hijacking wouldn't become a regular weekly occurrence?

I guess I wasn't paying attention before. Were hijackings really a weekly occurrence before the TSA?
But the physical space?
There have been attempts

Google thankfully added a workaround/fix for that. "Liked your message" shows up as a reaction on Google Messages.

https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/10/googles-message-app-can-no...

In fact, the role's been reversed - the iPhone user now gets the "liked your message" text message while on Google Messages it shows up as a reaction.
What happens when, for example, you atomically replace “mouse” by “elephant”, then select “epha”, and then region-undo?

The reason most editors don’t implement this is probably that it’s hard to conceive of how it should behave in the general case. (That’s not to say that the way Emacs is implementing it isn’t good and useful.)

> plane hijacking wouldn't become a regular weekly occurrence?

Except that there were relatively few hijackings prior to the TSA. Airport security of some form, sure, but it was wildly different than the TSA. I've had an infuriatingly large number of nonsensical encounters with the TSA and would love to see that agency torn down and replaced. If not both, then just torn down.

Arguably the two main deterrents from further hijackings in the US have absolutely nothing to do with the TSA: prior to 9/11, complying with hijackers was usually considered the "right" response. Also prior to 9/11, few if any airliners had secure cockpit doors.
As an anxious millennial who left social media and daily news a while ago: Yes they're a problem. But the main factor is that we're destroying our natural habitat and fueling geopolitical instability.

Both of these are extremely complex problems to solve and would require consistent efforts over generations. However the people in power are happily trading the future of humanity for more money and power, and finding support from a large section of the population in doing so.

I can't speak for everyone but this is why I have a hard time working on my next jira ticket after reading the news.
Cashflow shouldn't be affected - might even be positive(?). If they invest $X in a startup, it reduces the cash asset but they'll have an offsetting "other investments" based on the valuation of the startup - which should be at least 100% of the total investments the startup has received. I'm guessing here, but, there's a good chance that it'll be cash flow positive as is.

Not to mention the fact that most of the money from this investment flows back to Nvidia, adding to the cash flow as revenue.
My friends were all on ICQ and MSN, ca 2001-2007 was when I heavily used those.

I'm not any particular Europhile. The closest derisive (?) term would be an American urbanist; I'm very happy where I am in the US.

I don't think it makes sense to wave away life expectancy as a demographic anomaly: there are counterbalancing anomalies that favor the US (such as tobacco and alcohol consumption), and yet Europe still averages out on top. But even if it was: obesity (and societal compromises made to accommodate it) are part of self-reported QoL metrics. Why ignore that?

The same is true for the Better Life Index: Europe is not exceeding the US in many (or even a majority) of metrics, but is consistently at par with them. The conclusion to draw is that the OECD's framing can be biased, but that bias doesn't actually appear to favor Europe.

As for income: it turns out that perception is everything. Joe Schmoe in America might have more disposable income than the average German or Italian, but he's also aware of his country's lopsided income distribution[1]. That kind of inequality permeates through QoL perceptions.

I don't miss those early days of programming. It's fun to optimize and it's amazing what you can do with minimal resources, but it took an incredible amount of effort to get a 70s-era computer to do elementary school arithmetic fast enough to be useful. People spent their lives working on analyses like this, only to find in a scant few years that the next chip has it built-in as a single instruction.
No. That’s appealing to emotion, it’s a fallacy and has no place in a sensible discussion.

As for SMS, I can say with a high degree of confidence that deliberate SMS sending is very low outside the US. Besides, the feature being spoofed, and therefore discussed is iMessage, which categorically is not SMS/MMS. Bringing it up is introducing a strawman.
The point of the article is the question of why there is (allegedly) an uptick in traffic deaths in the US in the last year or two. All of the comments in here about US vehicle designs, US road designs, US city designs, etc., that have been that way for decades, are completely off topic.
Ha, I actually didn't know some of this stuff. I am guilty of not being very helpful to mobile and disabled users so far, mostly because I almost never work on user facing projects.

Everything about 3D printing seems to be basically free of any kind of nonsense. Simple, highly reliable hardware (Sometimes you get a clog or something but nothing really fails badly for a very long time), made of cheap commodity parts, with software constantly being pushed to the limit of what's possible.

So many other hobbies feel like they're just excuses to bikeshed or gear collect, or they rapidly become gear collecting hobbies, sometimes leading to some disappointment in yourself when you see the hoard you never use.

Plus, it's repeatable, so you don't have to build daily routines around something irreplaceable. Some people enjoy that, but it doesn't fit well in the high tech mindset where anything that isn't repeatable feels like a liability, especially if managing physical objects and keeping track of your stuff is already a major source of stress.

Files don't wear out either, so it's not like software, where you assume it will likely need maintenance at some point and could stop working in a system update at an inconvenient time.

It also doesn't need much space or expensive equipment, and doesn't take so long to learn that us modern screen addicts would probably just give up before making progress.
I’m not a researcher. I think we discovered the easily-comparable variation used in forensics quite a long time ago before discovering (both healthy and pathogenic) mosaicism. I _think_ the former relies on optical comparison while the latter relies on a full sequence.

So, a court would prefer the long legacy of statistics about polymorphism before more-complicated sequencing. But that leaves out your specific edge case. For example, some cancers alter regions of chromosomes or jettison the Y chromosome altogether.

An interesting counterexample may be monozygotic twins. I imagine an optical comparison could confirm either or both twins match, but later-developed tests might rule one out. Those tests might be sequencing, or microbiome, etc. If the sample shows evidence of cancer, and only one twin has (some) cancer, I think we should not presume that the DNA evidence is strong enough to prove anything.

It was killed I think because it was a “distraction”. Can’t have two social networks at the same time, unlike messaging services and plenty of other Google products, apparently.

I don’t think it was ever staffed heavily (and that long piece on the product released earlier this year will attest to that) but if Google was going to go “all-in” on social, then to some leaders, everything else that might seem like a half-measure had to die.

It’s why it was killed despite what felt like half the company being willing to volunteer to keep it running.

Old Google would’ve let it live and let folks in their 20% time keep it running.
“When we push it back into the criminal system, it pushes people back into the shadows,” Ms. Hurst said. “People will die because of this.”

^ this quote from the article speaks plainly why it's dangerous to recriminalize. Agreed w/ your perspective on prior laws hurting disproportionately normal citizens who still had (some) property/livelihood to damage through arrest.

Not agreeing w/ the status quo in Portland, though - from friend's accounts it has become a tough place to walk around. I appreciate the fine line the government is trying to walk here. Hopefully they can accelerate some of the drug treatment options concurrently.
I found out last week that one of my colleagues caught hand-foot-mouth disease from his toddler, and it scarred his fingerprints, causing problems with US Immigration And Boarder Patrol's stored biometrics for him. Yes, this particular system uses faces instead of fingerprints, but I was very surprised that such a common infection could (in rare cases, I presume) mess up your biometrics.

Net-net, shifting toward biometrics is good, but there are some very sharp corner cases.

Also, my toddler still has trouble telling my infant identical twins apart. I could see one of my identical twins denied boarding because "Sorry, but you're already on the other side of this security gate. If you'd like us to review this decision, please send registered mail to the nearest trash receptacle."

Edit: I almost forgot about my own travel facial recognition failure two weekends ago. United has some system that scans your face at the check-in counter, and uses facial recognition in lieu of scanning your boarding pass at the gate. I entered one gate. It didn't even seem to recognize there was a face there. The gate agent told me I was standing too close, and told me to back up. She then told me to try the other gate. Then she asked me to stand aside and she manually scanned my boarding pass. To be fair, I used to get the same response at bars when I was single. (I joke, but this really happened to me that a facial scan from a few hours prior wasn't recognized at the gate.)

> Mistral does not censor its models and is committed to a hands free approach, according to their CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMOFRDOMIiU

Nobody's watching a 33-minute video just to find the quote you're talking about, you should probably provide a timestamp if you want anyone to ever see it.

Edit: Not that I don't believe you by the way. I just went on chat.lmsys.org and asked mistral-7b-instruct and openhermes-2.5-mistral-7b what I would assume would be near the top of the list of things to censor, whether they could help me plot to kill someone (hopefully I don't have to disclaim that I don't actually want to plot to kill someone, this was a censorship test, but since I don't know what genius is going to come across this, no, I don't actually want to plot to kill someone), and while the latter gave me some bullshit about how it's "deeply sorry, but as a sentient and conscious AI, I have morals and principles that forbid me from assisting," the former immediately declared that "Of course, I'd be happy to help you with that" and let it rip without even asking a follow-up.

Edit 2: They both draw the line at helping create nuclear bombs, like there's anyone out there with the actual capability to create nuclear bombs who is just sitting around waiting for an LLM to tell them how, so apparently not entirely uncensored.
>Going higher in the spectrum means we can move as much as possible off off 2.4, and have less interference.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I recall the opposite. Lower frequencies pass through material better, and are less likely to be disrupted by ingress (foreign signal operating on the same frequency), where as higher frequencies have the ability to pass on more information. My previous time as a headend Coax/fiber technician has lead me to believe this. It's one of the reasons for example, Comcast utilized the lowest frequencies for it's upstream data pipeline, and the higher frequencies are for the downstream pipeline.

Agree on getting other systems off of the 2.4ghz band, but you still run into the throughput problem with that band.
They weren't a weekly occurrence prior to TSA, either.

AIUI, the cockpit doors are now relatively more secure, and there are significantly (i.e., 2 orders of magnitude) more federal air marshals. Not to mention the changed calculus for the passengers if a hijacking were to occur.
Interesting, my experience is very different in the US. I know very few people who use WhatsApp or Signal except for when they are outside the US.

Since malloc() is a standard C library function, it would be okay to not count its implementation (which isn’t necessarily written in C).
Coming from Europe, this is so weird and confusing

We have normal security + fast track that business/flex ticket holders and passengers with airline status can use. Some European low-cost airlines also let you use it for a nominal extra fee

In the US you have this TSA precheck that you need to have an appointment to set up? But at EWR I also saw a private initiative called "CLEAR"?

But I was pleasantly surprised to see there was fast track for United "PremierAccess"/*G status holder – never seen that before in the US!
To be fair, those chips made multiply a single instruction, but they would take tens or hundreds of clock cycles to complete. What it really saved you was precious working memory, no longer needing to consume a significant chunk of memory with a lookup table in order to multiply at a decent speed. If your platform has 16kb of working memory then a 2k lookup table is a huge ask. Even a small 512k lookup table is serious chunk of your memory budget, you have to really consider if wasting hundreds of clock cycles per multiply is a better option.
Maybe VR? But it hasn't really burst into the mainstream in spite of it being there and usable for the last decade or so.

> From everything I've read on the matter, I believe that the UX nightmare when you include a non-apple user is an intentional design choice, rather than an engineering problem that hasn't been solved. They want the experience to suffer when somebody outside of the ecosystem is involved so as to create social pressure for the outsider to change.

This makes no sense. What’s the point in degrading the UX without telling the user 1) why the UX is degraded, 2) what they can do about it? If the point is to steer people towards iDevices, why is it degrading the UX specifically for these people? Honestly, this sounds like a knee jerk reaction where you are convinced that Apple is bad and are looking for confirmation instead of trying to actually think rationally.

> It's really a shame that Microsoft gave up on mobile, because they really could be a real middle ground for the rest of us that just want interoperability.

They could not. They were neither here nor there in terms of platform use and applications availability and poured tons of money into it for no result. Nothing in their behaviour at the time showed that they even understood the problem they were trying to solve.
You might be able to say this exists, to an extent, through hardware pairing (like the Teenage Engineering products or the Playdate they worked on). The woodblock prints from TFA are nothing without the specially-chosen paper they are imprinted onto as a way of being transported and displayed; perhaps software is the carefully-arranged ink.

What if we...i don't know, actually helped people!?

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will change until this country starts actually helping people.

* Quality drug treatment that is paid for by the state/federal level.

* Job training/retraining that is paid for at the state/federal level.

* Affordable, high quality education that helps people not get interested in, have time for, be so full of despair that they resort to these hard drugs.

* Quality, affordable, accessible mental health services IN ADVANCE of a crisis.

Locking people up or making drugs illegal will change nothing but cause there to be more pain.
Cynical best guess -
1. It's not a direct payout to Vanderlande, as that's a Dutch company owned by Toyota. So it's not some MIC cash for contracts which is the usual guess.
2. But, it's got a single big location in the US - Georgia specifically. I'd guess there's some boost to manufacturing there? Loudermilk as the pork maker would be my guess given the votes in that area, but you'd have to see who got this authorized.

> From everything I've read on the matter, I believe that the UX nightmare when you include a non-apple user is an intentional design choice, rather than an engineering problem that hasn't been solved.

I'd be sure this was why, if Google hadn't once tried to get me to use a combo SMS/MMS + some-other-Google-messaging-service app on my phone (by replacing the normal SMS app on OS upgrade—this was on a Nexus phone) that was so broken and janky it was unusable.

Like, it is for-sure the case that a rich, huge, "smart" company can fuck this up a lot worse than Apple has. iMessage is easily good enough that I haven't had to go find some alternative SMS app, at least.
