> there was a VPN app I used that didn't have the "local network access" permission, but was still inexplicably able to get a list of wifi networks I connected to

It is different from continuously getting a list of all SSIDs within your Wi-Fi range, even those you never connected to. This is what allows shady apps infer location (this, and massive databases of SSID matched to coordinates).

What you described is also a feature of WireGuard iOS, and it needed no permission.

CUDA: Faster Mixtral Prompt Processing
It means that 97% of the outputs from the layer are zero; only 3% are active _at a time_. You can’t get rid of the other 97% entirely because the active 3% isn’t static. I think the paper is saying that they can reasonably accurately predict the active 3% at least well enough to make it run faster without losing too much accuracy.
In those cases, the fault isn't the machines, it's the negligence of the mechanics.

Where I work, we produce industrial machines that could rip you in half without a hiccup. As a result we (like all industries that use hazardous equipment) have a very strong lock out/tag out policy.

I remember in training they warned us that at customer sites, it's common for the customer's employees to be averse to LOTO because of the time and hassle involved, and they may try to pressure us to skip LOTO procedures. We are expressly prohibited from doing so, but the negligence is real.
> some cities in these states — create homelessless

I agree and I understand that it is complex. People may have ties to a city and in a tough economy may not have means and/or opportunities for work elsewhere. Shelters may close or be unable to take more people. But cities also draw people from the surrounding population.

About NYC... the climate isn't comparable to others in this list --

I don't think it matters too much. I know someone who is a little obsessed with gaming Amazon book rankings - sort of the same thing as NYT bestsellers list.
Do they have JTAGs or do you need to desolder TSOPs to “upgrade” them?
You can do

trait Trait {
fn f(&self) -> futures::BoxFuture<...> {
let fut = async move { /* ... */ };
fut.boxed()
}
}

(which is essentially what `#[async_trait]` desugars to)

I'm not sure how you would even support dynamic dispatch in the general case without implicitly boxing the return value, which would be deeply unpopular within the Rust community and ecosystem. If we're saying we're ok with implicit allocations for futures then the whole "zero cost abstraction" of async/await seems pointless.

Yes, absolutely do this! This is what Slack does, and what we do at my current employer (defined.net). "Magic link" email + TOTP is pretty slick.
They've already come up with better, cheaper, more efficient methods. They don't need Sudafed anymore, so removing the stupid restriction won't affect meth production at all.
Android appears to do something like this with fingerprints (or at least enable it). Whenever I add a new one, apps stop accepting fingerprints until I enter my password/passcode/whatever in each one.
Paraphrasing, it's not a big deal that it's used to make meth - it's a big deal that it's used to make exploding meth labs.

Re: Intel, it's worth mentioning their Phi coprocessor board. They zig-ed when they should have zag-ed. The Phi essentially had thousands of i486 CPUs on it, but apparently that isn't as useful for ML because (apparently) it's all about the FLOPs, whereas the less-mathematical but more logical Phi cores could do (something?) better?

I just think it's an honorable mention because had things gone a little differently, perhaps Intel could have been king of the hill instead.

Personally, my primary concern is security and, by extension, trust. My shell environment functions as the gatekeeper to my castle, and installing this binary would be akin to blindly handing over the keys, especially since the source code is not accessible. I'm unsure if it's feasible given Hacksh's requirements, but using Flatpak could largely address your distribution issue as well as my security issue.
My iPhone asks if I want to allow an app to access the Local Network. I assume that this

Why even worry about this in advance?
Lessons from failing my AI startup
Maybe building more doesn't get your out of the cycle. Maybe it helps. Personally, I've only visited Seattle once and don't have any desire to return to live or visit. I would likely be happy taking up space in the MidWest that the rich young professionals are leaving behind.

I only think that there's usually a balance to things that sometimes require a lot of time to pass in order to correct.

Anyway, I appreciate all of your responses and your perspective.
you're right, i see how my response could be interpreted as "remove all real estate as an investment". sorry to respond in a knee jerk!
You are correct, but as women get older, the chance of genetic defects becomes higher. The intelligence of a genetically nominal child wouldn't be affected.
I feel as though this is a consequence of organizations not really understanding how complex the space truly is. The way I've watched OAuth2 + OIDC get adopted in various companies was never from a security-first perspective; rather, it's always sold as a "feature": login with x, etc. Even when there are moves to make flows more secure - PKCE, for example - you end up playing a game of "whack-a-mole" with various platforms doing shitty things in terms of cookie sharing, redirect handling, and the like. The fundamentals of 3-legged OAuth2 are sound and there's tons of prior art (CAS comes to mind), but the OpenID Foundation should be tarred and feathered for the shitty way they market and sold OIDC.
What is this, an office for ants? How can we expect to work if we can't even fit inside the building?
Yes. Pseudoephedrine itself is a mild stimulant. Tweaking the molecule (npi) turns it into a powerful stimulant.
I mean, do you account for that fact that your family has a correlation issue? You all are in the same geographic area, social class and economic bracket, go to the same kind of schools, have the same parents.

I haven't been to Beirut, but I have been to Beijing a bunch, and by brother has been to Beirut I think at least twice. From what he tells me, Beirut is crazier driving than Beijing. In like all respects.

The traffic fatalities are higher (18 > 15), the lack of lanes is more egregious (and people will dive across three lanes more aggressively), the amount of driving the wrong way down busy multi lane roads is more (which still happens in Beijing, but like not as often).

Beirut (or at least the outskirts) also has things Beijing doesn't: civilian enforcement of traffic etiquette via brandishing automatic rifles, traffic intersections primarily controlled by tanks instead of signals, and the annoying practice carried over from Saudis of doing that stupid angled drive-with-the-car-tilted-on-two-wheels thing in thd middle of traffic.

It's similar to Beijing in it always being slow though, so that's probably why the fatality rate isn't 30+ lol.

I don't really disagree, but again, I don't understand the point about complaining about "Pfft, Waymo can only operate in good conditions". I mean, it wasn't that long ago when Google's autonomous vehicle tech was first announced and everyone thought it looked like magic.

More and more I believe in Louis CK's bit about "everything is amazing and nobody's happy": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFB7q89_3U
No, it doesn't. It might be unambiguous in some cultures or some circles, but it's not globally unambiguous.

For example, I didn't even think of it until you pointed it out. I disagree with a lot of the sentiment in Vektorceraptor's comments, but I immediately grasped their meaning behind "rootless cosmopolitan".

Maybe it's because I hail from the same region. I was born in what was Yugoslavia back then and is now Serbia, and I left when I was 20. I spent 14 years in South America, and another 10 here in the US, and I guess that makes me one of Vektorceraptor's "rootless cosmopolitans": someone who has been exposed to different cultures and can live in them, but doesn't really feel at home in any of them.

So no, "rootless cosmopolitan" might sound to you like a dog whistle for "Jew", but it doesn't have to mean that on a culturally diverse site like this one.

EDIT: It might be worth reflecting on the fact that English is not a native language for everyone here. When picking words, some of us might make a suboptimal choice. Ask yourself whether you would have had the same reaction if Vektorceraptor had picked "uprooted" instead of "rootless".

I agree wholeheartedly that unpredictable software is unacceptable in cars, and I drive an older model car specifically because it's not loaded with touchscreen software "features," but cruise control is the wrong target for your anger. It's old enough to be a retiree with a gold watch.
I mean this in the most kind way possible but you might be reading within your echo chamber too much. You might be correct but your view are completely different than the normal person.

The average person would not have any issue with have a couple more buttons to press to cancel prime. Thinking this is the view of only “rich, amoral technologists” is just wrong. Extending that dismiss anything else they speak about policy is the point of view of an extreme zealot.

Most people like Amazon overall. The process to cancel prime is orders of magnitude easier and more clear than countless business that force phone calls, letters or in person to cancel. Most people would shrug if you told them about this case.
One should realize that what they call ‘track user locations’ is actually ‘receive GPS radio signals’.

Read history. This has come up countless times. The world did not collapse. Some deepfakery has even been addressed by US courts (Hustler v. Falwell, a literary deepfake). There was the war of the world fiasco, a radio deepfake.
Before that people panicked over the ability to edit photographic plates, combining images to make people appear/disappear. Society did not crumble. New technology comes along. People fear that it can be used to create fake news. Then, a few years later, everyone chuckles about it. A few years from now we will have adapted to the current latest deepfake tech and will also chuckle about the panic.
Haldane was not thinking of a great future for ENGSOC

He left the party in 1950, shortly after considering standing for Parliament as a Communist Party candidate. He continued to admire Joseph Stalin, describing him in 1962 as "a very great man who did a very good job".[33] Haldane has been accused by authors including Peter Wright and Chapman Pincher of having been a Soviet GRU spy codenamed Intelligentsia.[107][108]

>It’s so crazy how my vaporware does like 99% of my driving for me every day.

There's no point lying about how finicky it is, or the number of disengagements you encounter. There's too much evidence to the contrary.

Recently one of the biggest FSD proponents on Twitter put out, essentially, a promotional video for FSD, and it showed multiple disengagements and an incredibly dangerous blown stop sign.

Nobody cares that half your commute you can sit there pretending not to drive down a highway. That's not full self driving.
I don't see why not being able to see lane lines would be a the problem, at least for the full-fat Waymo solution. My understanding is they are using lidar sensors to correlate their exact position in addition to GPS which can be accurate to sub-meter level. In fact, they would have much more information to go on than most wet-wear drivers, assuming they can correlate the position of street furniture etc.

The bigger problem I would imagine is finding the car not responding to inputs in a predictable way. I would image at a certain point they are going to give up. Even a human driver might need a push in some conditions.
It's not a western dog whistle, but rather a Russian one.
> People believe that stuff far more easily than they believe something they read.

I'm not convinced it's "far" more. People believe things they read extremely easily when they say what they want to hear. Propaganda is already efficient enough that there is little room for improvement. As for people who question what they read, they will also question what the see once they become aware of the power of deepfakes.

That's if they even watch the videos. I generally don't, because it's a waste of time when trustworthy people can watch them for me and tell me what's in them.
"Life" is meaningless. Animals are a live. Plants are alive. Who cares when "life" begins?

What should matter is when humanity begins, or, sapience. There's no world in which it makes scientific sense to afford a small cluster of cells without anything even resembling a cow's brain (remember cows? the things we legally slaughter by the hundreds of thousands every day?), let alone a human brain, more rights than the woman the organs of whom are supporting it.

Not only that, but we don't allow the harvesting of organs post mortem without explicit, written consent, even if someone could use them to live. If we're not allowed to use other people's organs to ensure survival, even if the other person is dead, that should apply just as much to fetuses.

There's very obviously a correct side if you want to apply any semblance of logic, reasoning, and thought to the issue. There isn't one if you want to apply religion to it, and follow your gut to conclude that your all-powerful, all-benevolent god is putting souls in fetuses he knows will be aborted, taking them up to heaven for eternal happiness, and getting mad at us for it.

> Well for example I spend 3 full days a year of training at my company being lectured about climate change.

I can perfectly imagine employees of a bank having to do that for the SRI rating. Then head back to their cubicle for the 280 other days and give loans for mining, road constructions, malls, etc. 99% of the time spent on business as usual isn't exactly being too much concerned about an existential threat...

That said, 3 days is better than nothing at all, and your company is likely an exception.
If that is true it’s an important observation however I suspect it isn’t. In general, and everywhere, the past was much tougher than the present.

Forgive me for this but all self-driving cars do is act as the default to postpone and diffuse support for scalable and long term (also driverless) infrastructure with the false promise that self driving cars that will somehow solve all our transportation needs.

This technology will increase the issues we have as a society around the use of a car based transportation system, as they are simultaneously expensive to maintain for low density environments while also conversely being almost impossible to maintain for high density environments.

Car transport systems have no true limit on capacity so as the efficiency of the transportation system increases, so will demand and density.

If everyone changes to another transportation system powered by Waymo and others, what’s to stop a large number of people moving to self-driving cars, increasing the number on the road, and causing grid lock again meaning we have to increase massively the amount of car-centric infrastructure all over again. Isn’t that what history has shown us will happen?

Why do we keep supporting the most inefficient and expensive form of transport ever?

Downvote if you must but it is a warranted and substitute argument and worth considering. Even if you think it’s not or not on the appropriate post of whatever criticisms you wish to levy (or just as likely work on self-driving systems). It’s always amazing to me how hard people will defend the status quo while calling themselves “technology innovators.”
I just had my most glaring experience of this ever on a beach that is basically on the open sea - Coco beach in Dar Es Salaam on the Indian Ocean.

Not an exaggeration—Apple’s primary “location services” API, used on iOS/macOS, is just a lookup table for wireless APs’ MAC addresses. [1]

WiFi scanning is much less power intensive than GPS, much more reliable indoors, and often (in dense areas) more accurate even outdoors. iirc the iPhone only connects to “real” GPS in specific situations, such as when visible wifi signals are insufficient (e.g. highway driving).

I've just shopped for a running watch, and while the AMOLED screen watches look nice, they claim to have ~50% the battery life in GPS mode compared to transflective LCD display watches.

That public school should have a goal of instilling American values is one of the oldest ideas in American society, and the "cohort" in which it dominates might best be described as "Americans".

Your issue is that you disagree with a plurality of educators on what American values should be. That's fine, but it's much more boring than the false controversy you present instead, where a shadowy cartel of educators is twisting what would otherwise be a values-neutral school system. That system never existed, and was never intended to exist. Conservatives just 20 years ago would have recoiled from that sentiment.
Yes but I think few metrics are as loaded and culturally mediated as "well behaved" for children. For a lot of people this could simply mean quiet and capable of extended occupation alone. It could mean different things for boys and for girls, depending on the expectations of the assessor.

It seems like this is possibly self-assessment by a parent, which has what I hope are obvious issues. But even if you take say a teacher or other third party you run into a lot of the same problems with it.

I agree that it's an extreme step, but given that the creator of the work was trying to use it to extort both the Tolkien estate and Amazon, confiscating the work to prevent further abuse is understandable.
