Attack on Ledger Wallets: Analysis and Post-Mortem
The insane complexity of these ML models is limited to the data being handled, billions of numbers in hundreds of tensors. The GPU-running compute kernels are surprisingly simple, they just called many times with different input tensors.

This makes these compute kernels relatively portable across GPU APIs and languages.

I think on Windows, Direct3D is often a better tech choice for GPGPU. (1) It runs on GPUs of all vendors (2) Direct3D is an essential Windows component; the OS even composes windows on desktop with D3D11. Unlike CUDA, D3D runtime libraries are already available in the OS by default, which simplifies software installation and support.
We don’t actually know what happens to the matter when it reaches the singularity. Having a singularity effectively means “we don’t know what happens there”.
From what I’ve understood of Buddhist philosophy, it rejects this view that some pile of wood can turn into a table. Of course a table exists... but there is nothing special about “forms”. Everything is dependent origination (everything is caused by something else). We conventionally and intuitively split things into sort of the process of making a cake and then say that the cake is something kind of absolute and rigid. But it’s all just process; one thing causes another thing which then causes another thing.

Psychologically speaking it is not helpful to think of forms as anything but convenient signs. Yeah they exist for practical purposes, but they actually don’t. Psychologically speaking (again) we need to get away from thinking that there is ever a split between “things” and “process”. Ultimately it’s all relativistic. The one Absolute Truth is that everything is relativistic... of course most people (philosophers?) reject that as a trivial contradiction, but Mahayana does some tricks (apparently—who am I, Wittgenstein?) which makes this seeming contradiction just work.

At the end of the day our natural intuitions are wrong. They were more towards Aristotle’s view. So we have to actively do things like analyze or meditate in order to see reality for what it truly is. In order to rid ourselves of clinging.
We just need to move on from DnD to other IPs at this point, it is absurdly clear that everyone putting all their eggs in the basket with wizards of the coast and it is just a bad idea.

There are plenty of fantastic alternatives, we really don’t need the DnD universe. I mean, as highly acclaimed as BG3 is, people in general seem to feel that the dev’s previous game Divinity Original Sin 2 has better combat mechanics… so idk I just think it’s time to move past wizards of the coast and embrace better systems.
HuggingFace Conversational Bots
Referential transparency be damned, I guess. This feels like a inherent downside to languages where you have to manage lifetimes.
Yea, that's the problem with self driving, especially in cities/dense areas. We really need AGI first. There are so many issues that humans react to before there is identifiable danger.

"Good" drivers see questionable situations and slow down or position themselves farther from potential issues before they get to the issue so they don't have to react at the last minute.
I’d rather say it’s a successful planet.

Mainly internal stakeholders, I take it. Isn't all that entirely big-company politics?

Whereas a PM in a small company can devote more attention to the product, customers, market, metrics.

What's a good question to ask to find out which sort of animal you're dealing with?
Yes, it's all measure countermeasure. But you'll note that the most successful sites out there have bot protection and actively invest in it. I'm not concerned about the being overtaken narrative; My concern is the other scenario, where after the bots are done consuming and exfiltrating my data, I have no bandwidth to serve humans and my data is being vended from other sources now anyway.

It's also not really that much of a losing battle. Cloudflare will fight the battle for me quite well for free, and even better for a pittance.

The game theory is that it is likely that most of the time successful Revolutions are backed by powerful opposing States or quasi-States. Any others get squashed, but likely most often don't get off of the ground to begin with.
IANAL, but generally, yes.

In most setups, the company is a separate tax entity, so corporate taxes are one thing, mostly determined by the country where the company is incorporated, usually paid on profits.

Then you move the money from the company to yourself, either as a salary or as a dividend. This is generally taxed by the country that you live in as personal income tax or a dividend tax. This varies greatly.

Things can get more complicated, e.g. if you stay in a country for over 60 days, one can argue that the company now has a dependency in that country (because you as the sole owner / employee are living there), so you might be forced to incorporate in that country as well / pay (corporate) taxes there.
>> That raises an obvious question: If they saw the problem with torture, why did they continue to employ it?

I was part of a lecture covering a case where US police had tortured out a false confession. The prof asked a Canadian student if such a thing would happen in Canada. "No. The RCMP wouldn't bother. If they need a confession they would just forge one. Forgery is much easier than torturing someone."
Fair enough!

I used "advocating" loosely here. I hate the "advocate a lot, build nothing" mindset myself, and I am not a fan of the Bay Area and its practices (to put it mildly), so I edited my post.

Well if you want to be this pedantic. How can a website have opinions?

You most obviously must be referring to the owners of the website.

Or are you referring to the comments?

Because both the users and the owners of said website have vastly different opinions here.

Additionally at one point Sam Altman was literally a "darling" for the company, before he got fired.

I agree that if he weren't seeking public office, this probably would have gone unnoticed. But those rules are well known among anyone who has taken an engineering education and others have been similarly sanctioned for misuse in the past.

The correct course of action upon receiving a misuse / cease and desist for referring to yourself as an engineer is to apologize, issue a statement clarifying your status, and stop referring to yourself as an engineer. For someone seeking public office to assert that the rules don't apply to them... that's a bad look.
Indeed.

Which is why my hobby projects will continue to use bot detection and CAPTCHA recognition. Especially since I'm routing through Cloudflare, so that's invisible for 99% of my users and the remaining 1% can just get off Tor if they're tired of solving the captions.
How about the platforms get hefty fines in the billions for fake reviews? I’m sure Amazon would solve this problem in a day then
TLC is a decent spot, which is why it's still being produced.

QLC is less so, since its endurance is only ~300 cycles. there's plenty of tension in the storage industry about this, with vendors saying "don't worry be happy", and purchasers saying "wait, what read:write ratio are you assuming, and how much dedupe?"

PLC (probably <100 cycles) is very dubious, IMO, simply because it would only be suitable for very cold data - and at that point you're competing with magnetic media (which has been scaling quite nicely).
This "recall" news is clickbait. It's the NHTSA pushing Tesla to change how they monitor drivers. "Tesla said it did not agree with NHTSA's analysis but would deploy an over-the-air software update that will "incorporate additional controls and alerts to those already existing on affected vehicles to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility whenever Autosteer is engaged."
No hacks needed anymore. Now websites will just tell me that I have to use Chrome or GTFO.

I use Haxe and really enjoy it. I use it to develop an MMORPG (https://jamcloud95.com).

I've remember going through quite a few different game engines (Godot, Unity, Defold, etc.) but HaxeFlixel had the most "natural" feel for me to code in, which is largely due to Haxe itself.
Pretty sure the hesitation is what makes us humans :)
>Texas has a great system under normal conditions that has incentivized a ton of solar and Panhandle wind, but it is not built for severe conditions.

No. It's not winter proof, it's not interconnected with it's neighbors.

It absolutely is not a "great system". It's a controlled system for its own greed.
Open-core was mentioned, but was not a dealbreaker. Gitlab was dismissed for just following along with what GitHub does and being "AI-powered"
It's not super difficult to only show reviews you are highly confident AREN'T completely fake.

Instead they prioritize having as many reviews as possible - when possibly a majority of them are fake.

And the cost is - the reviews are completely meaningless.

All they care about is engagement - and if users have to dig through reviews manually trying to sort out signal from noise - that's engagement to them, not an awful product.
One of the authors has a good summary on Twitter at:

I used it for a few research projects around the same time. Overall it was a good experience, even after wresting with the macro system, and I was very sad it didn't reach wider adoption.

A few years later I tried to rebuild an old project running openfl 3.0 and failed miserably. I ended up building a docker running an old base image to get it working. That made me realize that the haxe community toolchain also evolves quickly in a non-compatible way.

The TypeScript ecosystem already way too large and way too fast. It's hard to follow both. It's also harder to find collaborators / hires.

In a fantasy world a megacorp would pick up haxe as a main driver and pump money into the ecosystem and make lots of people haxers.
I'd wager it's more like we don't think at all and feel only anger. At least online that is.
What makes you say zvols are neglected? In fact the people that did most of the work porting ZFS to Linux, i.e. LLNL, use zvols for their HPC cluster and they still employ a number developers and the primary maintainer of ZoL. I also remember a quote from them stating that zvols were in fact more mature than vfs.
Amazon would solve it by removing reviews. No big loss these days, IMO.

Would it be possible to conceive a proof-of-work that is difficult to parallelize, making it harder for GPU computing?
Now that is funny.
Onedev has pretty good features built-in. They even seem to have a paid option now too which adds some additional features, though I wonder what the division between paid and unpaid features will look like as the project ages. To be fair though, there only seems to be one person consistently working on it.

Also there is just something about its sidebar-centric UI I just don't like. It's not as bad as gitlab but still, it bugs me every time I use it.
Which sucks, because Python is the easiest language I have seen. Up til recently, I worked with PHP, and I like Python waaaay more. There’s a few things I am still trying to get a handle on, but thanks to 20 years of programming, it’s mostly impatience driving the problem, not lack of ability.

Really appreciate the feedback:

> The default message "nothing to do" shouldn't be automatically added to the tasks every time.

This is only shown if there are no unsnoozed not-done tasks, would you prefer if it was left blank in this scenario? We wanted to provide a hint to user's about what they can do in this scenario.

> It would be great if, after snoozing, we could see the top "n" tasks in the main app itself.

There is an option to see all tasks in the menu, the decision to only show one task at a time was deliberate as the hope is to encourage the user either to focus on this task or snooze it. May I ask why it would be useful to see the top "n" tasks on the main UI?

> Please add a feature to select multiple tasks at once

Should be able to do this, is there something in particular you want to do to multiple tasks at once - like snoozing or marking them "done"?

> Instead of a subscription, it would be better to have a one-time payment for the premium pricing.

This is helpful. Our idea was that people would pay for cloud backup and synchronization - since the cost to operate the servers is ongoing I think this would need to be a recurring charge or we could end up spending more than we're making.

But if we identified other premium features that didn't require a cloud service then we could have a premium version with a one-time purchase. Are there any features in particular that you'd be willing to pay for?

Many thanks!
Even in SF proper there are plenty of houses under 1M, much more in the Bay Area. Same with NYC: quite a lot of houses in the city proper, much more in NJ over the river [1].

I think Forgotten Realms has a special place in many people's hearts (especially the millennials and around them), being a formative part of our childhoods: Minsc and Boo, Drizzt, beholders, mimics, etc. It's like Star Wars or LOTR, people get attached and emotionally invested and it's not so easy to let go overnight.

I enjoyed the Original Sin series and played them for many hours,but never finished either one. The characters and stories weren't their strong suit IMO (they were kinda cheesy, honestly), but yeah, tactically they played better than BG3. That's the downside of trying to accurately transfer tabletop mechanics, I guess, and combining it with the poor UI of the BG3 series (too many different types of actions and reactions to squeeze in the toolbars). Anyway that's beside the point.

I agree new IPs would be great, but those are rare! It would be cool to see an open source fantasy world where high quality fanfic could be curated into canon.
Haxe is a nice language, but it's doesn't really allow you to deploy any haxe code on any languages runtime.

The alternative systems flourished with DnD 4.0 back in 2008, since that system just wasn't as good as 3.5 or the new 5th edition.

Wizards of the Coast did a great job with the balance of customization vs simplicity of 5e and that's why DnD did so well recently. But the alternatives always were there.

Its a big community of literal house-rule makers (everyone plays DnD with their own houserules). Its a community used to making rules for themselves, buying 3rd party rules packages or discussing balance things online. The community will figure something out one way or the other.
I wonder if it'll affect politics. People hate it when their local streets are blocked for protests. The protests are overseas and potentially affecting us locally. Has something recently like this happened before?
Getting laid off has got to be the single highest trigger of suicide. Maybe breakups or child loss are higher but it’s at least top 3. Watching companies perform layoffs on thousands of employees just for their stock price to temporarily bump is really disgusting. I’d like to see some legislation that significantly penalizes companies engaging in layoffs. They should be a last resort, not a well-worn tool.

Interestingly, the UK/US language divide directly led to consequences in the Korean War. When a British general understated the severity of conditions faced by UK troops, an American general took the words at face value and did not provide reinforcements or told him to withdraw. That led to a last stand, where only a tiny fraction of British troops were able to escape. From The Guardian [1]:

"[W]hen the British brigadier reported the position to his American superior in the United Nations joint command, he did so with classic and — as it turned out — lethal British understatement.

""Things are a bit sticky, sir," Brig Tom Brodie of the Gloucestershire Regiment told General Robert H Soule, intending to convey that they were in extreme difficulty.

"But Gen Soule understood this to mean "We're having a bit of rough and tumble but we're holding the line". Oh good, the general decided, no need to reinforce or withdraw them, not yet anyway. [...]

"The programme says: "Any hopes of relief were dashed by an American misunderstanding of British understatement.""

I'm surprised Amazon is actually doing something, anything, related to Goodreads, including 'asking users'. The website feels abandoned.
I think my brain automatically blocks out stock photos, because I didn't even notice this post had an image.

But there's something funny about this. The blog template requires an image bucket, so mindlessly fill it with something, right? Too hard, so find a bland stock photo. Too hard, so purposefully generate a bland stock photo. Uninspired tasteless AI garbage is going to overtake everything in short order.
It’s the biggest loss I could imagine. I would stop using Amazon or use a third party review site.

Well I live in Denmark, so you can draw your own conclusion.
I was interested in the claim that it is warm-blooded (based on your quote). I went to the article and the link associated with the term 'warm-blooded' leads to an article that makes absolutely no mention of warm-bloodedness or thermoregulation. As such, I'm not going to put much faith in the article.
Obama's father was Kenyan, his mother from Hawaii, his maternal grandfather a US army Sergeant. That's about as far away from American political power as one can get and still be qualified to run for office. It's proof that any plebian from the peripheries of America can rise to be president. Conversely, Trump stands for the fact that anyone with the right combination of anger and money can usurp and then bend the political system to their will. There are many doors to power in the US, which is the whole point. Oppressive countries are not organized that way.
>The cost overruns are a political problem.

No, Politics actually helps keep the costs down. When it comes to the military purse strings get looser. LCOE doesnt even account for catastrophe insurance the taxpayer shoulders that.

It's just very very expensive to run a nuclear plant safely.

>Edit: Nuclear is probably cheaper than provisioning region-scale batteries for a week

It absolutely isnt. pumped storage is way cheaper and electrolyzing hydrogen from green energy is cheaper than nuclear power.

If you are taking a pro nukes stance (and many people do) you will want more nuclear power, but it only really has military cost sharing value, for providing green energy it is a colossal waste of money no matter what its lobbyists say to persuade you.
This is one of the main headwinds with Zelle. It's digital cash. It's advertised as digital cash. But still even with a lot of consumer education, so many people treat it as a reversible payment.

Congress grilled bank executives about it last year and even most of the representatives failed to grasp that it was digital cash. If someone gets defrauded, it's just as if they handed $20 to a scammer. It's going to be hard to reverse that.
