> The only people who care are the insurance companies but they have no authority.

That's not strictly true. Usually there are terms attached to insurance agreements, and there's a lot of flexibility there in terms of discounts you can provide to insurees who employ useful mitigations.
> Personally, I think meat should just be much more expensive, representing the actual consumption of resources in its production. That way we could just let the market sort it out.

When the govt. starts subsidizing, the market cannot sort it out, or at least that is how I’ve seen things play out. I’m not a market expert by any means.
I always thought the rise of MMA had something to do with the decline of fight-scenes. There's not a whole lot of spinning jump kicks and stuff when you put two people in a cage to fight. I don't know how that might relate to Wuxia (and Wuxia-inspired) fight scenes though that don't even attempt to look realistic.

Certainly, as TFA states, the overreliance of Marvel movies on CGI for action shots (and their financial success while doing so) probably played a big part.

I'll end with a link to one of my all-time favorite choreographed fight scenes (Though the fight between Donnie Yen and Wu Jing in Kill Zone is up there too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVZl_sn-gg

Yes, absolutely. The other thing to note is that you cannot roast two different beans “the same way”. They do not roast the same. You could roast two to the same degree (same final temperature, or final color), but the way that two wildly different beans absorb heat is going to be radically different. Density of the bean and the internal moisture play a huge role in this. Denser, more moist beans will roast slower and require more heat. Likewise, less dense beans will roast more quickly and may be subject to defects relating to essentially scorching if the same amount of heat is applied.

I roast coffee at a… semi professional level, and I would say that roasting can only make a coffee worse, it cannot be additive. You only bring out the flavors of the origin beans, and if you do it wrong they will taste bad. You can’t make certain coffee taste like fruit, for instance. It just doesn’t exist in the origin coffee.

I am currently drinking three different coffees, and they have three wildly different flavors. One has a very low body, tea like, and earthy flavors. One has a chocolatey cocoa flavor, and one tastes like syrupy rich body with ripe cherry. It’s absolutely unmistakable.
Damn, we’re in CPI territory
I am sick to death of this sort of OpenAI “news”. It only seeks to elicit the same angry rants from the same angry nerds that are having a hard time letting go of the direction that OpenAI has quite clearly gone in. The continued obsession with “open” in their name has well and truly entered the category of “talking-for-clapping political-rally-style dunk”. If you haven’t moved on by this point please look inwards and ask yourself if you’re just looking for things to dwell on to make yourself unhappy.

Well, OK. I'll refine my statement to "we don't even know if it's possible for us to do within any given timeline". Especially not a timeline as short as the next few lifetimes.

When someone is suspected (with some amount of evidence) of doing something illegal, sure.

With respect to inquries - if congressman X asks Sam Altman for the details of an algorithm at a congressional hearing, he is not obliged to answer. He can get his lawyer and argue the case - this happens and cases go to the supreme court to decide whether the question is in scope of the powers granted to congress under the consitution. The question has to be directly applicable to one of the responsibilities of congress, which are enumerated in the constitution. In practice redacted documents, limiting of question scope etc are discussed and worked around. Also in practice it's a bit of a political circus where most questions are for show rather than substance and you'll not really see them ask questions that would result in confidential information been given.
This, but its really the logic function versus actual device fabrication. I would love to see a home device that would let you build you own transistors and perhaps a very small number of passives.

Consider a system that had 6mm diameter "blanks" and a tool that would let you put down an epitaxial layer, lay down, expose, and then etch a resist layer, etc. At those small scales, one could hope the chemistry would be manageable.

I'm curious as to why you took that approach. Why not just straight to B2 from each machine? Is it for a redundant local copy of all the backups? If so that sounds like a good idea since restoring from B2 takes ages just because listing the revisions is hella slow for me...
You replied to basically nothing I said, other than to say: It's better if everything is split up into smaller companies that are not interesting targets.

Nothing you said addressed the uselessness of encryption for this task.

PS. I hope you are aware that Amazon also sells things themselves, they are not just a shipper? And that even if Amazon sells for a 3rd party, you handle returns, etc, via Amazon? So even your singular example demonstrates exactly what I said: this idea would not work.
At the time, there weren’t that many “random shell extensions”. Many of the more common ones were almost certainly there if needed.

My point was you didn’t need to be a “prominent” developer for Microsoft to patch up your app at runtime. This was particularly important for XP, given that it was the big, strategic consumer swap to the NT kernel and had to go smoothly.
It's Noe Valley. The article doesn't mention anything about the homeless population, but does mention it's known as "stroller valley".

It's _not_ a hard problem to provide a small number of toilets for the homeless population. SF does have a "pit stop" program of public toilets, which in some cases are just chemical toilets, set up on the sidewalk, with a person that cleans them and logs their use. I walk by one on 14th regularly. It doesn't need to be "indestructible". It doesn't need to be a hard problem.

I'll both agree and disagree; I find the double-shot cut of the hit is a bit overused in HK cinema. As an analogy it's like choosing between food with no salt and food that's a bit too salty.

No problem, your suggestions are always welcome. I managed to reduce the high entropy by base64 encoding the encrypted data. Meanwhile, I've developed CryptoFrame (https://github.com/x011/CryptoFrame), which hides encrypted data inside a video, split across multiple frames. It uses stegano LSB under the hood but adds a layer of encryption, which is missing in stegano.

I'll definitely give apersolve.com a try, although it's a pity it only handles images, since File Hider can be used for all types of files.

P.S.: Sorry for the late reply, but I became a father about a week ago. :)
The amount of spent uranium that will need to stored is infinitesimally small compared to the amount of energy that is produced in contrast to the waste that is produced by any other non-renewable source. It will typically get buried deep in the earths crust - deeper than anything save for mining, encased in concrete, and buried over where it would be most unlikely that anything will touch it ever again.
Why would it get lost? The winds don't put things into orbit, they just mix up the air - if anything they uniformly mix all the gasses keeping even Helium from floating away.
I don't think the weights are required. They're an artifact created from burning vast amounts of money. Providing the source/methods that would allow one, with the same amount of money, to reproduce those weights, should still be considered open source. Similarly, you can still have open source software without a compiled binary, and, you can have open source hardware, without providing the actual, costly, hardware.

Next time you see a jumping spider, interact with it. Try to coax it to you with slow repetitive movements. Get close to it. Tap and wiggle your fingers gently. You'll likely find that they come to you. They seem to be curious on a different level than any other spider that I've interacted with (which are all garden-variety spiders in north america). They do tend to freak out if you try to take their picture with a multi-lens phone camera...presumably because it looks like a set of robot spider eyes looking at them.
> I think you posted this in good faith but reads like a fairy tale

I read GP's post as sarcastic, I think you both agree. Thank you for the explanation on why it isn't great though.
So, there you go, there are 10 dimensions actually. Now you have this aliens from the 7th dimension happily talking and explaining highly advanced technology with some government autorities.

They explain, "well solid matter can be made traversable, it's quite easy actually, you just need a AA battery, some chewing gum a 12.7 cm. copper cable of yours"

Then you know how to traverse solid matter in our four dimensional realm.

It is an example of radical change technology,

but not like a nuclear bomb, instead it would change every single fundational assumption in which we base our planetary civilization.

i.e. anything behind closed doors can be reached by anyone, anywhere in the world with almost no resources, and autorities won't be able to stop them, or they will be able to stop a negligible number of outliers.

So of course, you (global leader, powerful group of interest), make this knowledge a myth. UFOs don't actually exist.

The discussion about /proc is a red herring.

A /proc-like filesystem could use binary formats that would have better security (no formatted printing and scanning bugs) as well as performance. (While not to mention having disadvantages also.)

The article somewhat conflates "everything is a file" with "everything is a text file".

Also, "everything is a file descriptor" is usefully different from "everything is a file". Not every resource bound to a file descriptor is a file (in the sense that it was obtained from a name resolution in the filesystem).

Things that are not files, but part of "everything is a file descriptor": socket(), socketpair(), pipe().
Funnily enough thats Linda what's happening with llms.
“Error, only full domain and subdomain are supported” when trying to run on a specific path of my website. Why is that?
As a person who doesn't need this app but was curious, I bounced off the Terms of Service (et cetera) that "we have to read" (but it is understood that many (most?) of us don't). It seems like a cool idea, but I'm exhausted by all these walls and uninstalled without agreeing to the legalese. If I ever make something useful for other people's well-being I'll just give it away and ask that the distributors of the data pay for it, for the public good (there's an energy cost to everything). For that to work for enough creators, there has to be a different system in place, with health insurance decoupled from employment, and a way to stay alive without relying on guarding "intellectual property". Maybe I'm just living in dreamland today.

There are three typos in the first few paragraphs, each an instance of an extra space. That's not an exhaustive list, as I didn't read the whole document.

Thank you for making a thing and getting it this far into the hands of others. Perhaps I'll try it when I need it or when there's an open source version. Good luck with your project!

Why I teach my students about scientific failure (2021)
My first job as a 16 year old was working in a TV repair shop. I learned how to test PCBs for dry joints, how to make an electrolytic capacitor explode and most importantly of all, how to discharge the anode before starting work.

It was amazing how many bits there were inside an old-fashioned TV, but even in the mid-90s the business was on its last legs as modern TVs couldn’t be repaired.
It's fine for local IPC like Unix domain sockets. For remote IPC, obviously the machines don't share a common space they can just access as a file for rendezvous, and so we don't use that API.

We have socket, connect|{bind, listen, accept}, read, write.

For connectionless, send, recv.

Sockets are not part of "everything is a file" but of "everything is a file descriptor".
> then the question of America Vs China is indeed one of the most important questions.

I don't actually take the stance as you stated it -- but if I did, I'd say that would mean it doesn't matter at all what nation develops it because the consequences would be disastrous no matter who did it first.

> a lot of very smart people getting handed huge amounts of money by other very smart people that seem to think it is.

Ignoring whether or not the people funding this are "very smart" (I don't know if they are or not), there are also a lot of very smart people who think that it isn't. Just the fact that some very smart people think such a thing isn't evidence that they're correct.

You also have to keep in mind that the more intelligent a person is, the easier it is for them to convince themselves of pretty much anything.

Right now, it's all just a battle of opinions.

"For this specific time period, in this specific location" is the qualifier that should always be used for these type of things. Humans ate ... whatever was available, and that varied quite a bit.

And it's not The Guardian misrepresenting the authors with a sensationalist title here, the authors of this study themselves are extrapolating a small and limited study to all early humans. This is complete nonsense, as anyone with the most basic of understanding of the matter will tell you.

The hand-waving away of all earlier research with FUD about "male archaeologists from western cultures" is exactly that: anti-intellectual FUD. Hell, if there's any field that is dominated by lefty vegetarian hippie types then it's archaeology (not a complaint, just an observation).

In general there's a lot of nonsense peddling surrounding this in vegan circles. I say this as a vegan. People go on about "primal humans being vegan, so that's the natural state" or some such and then you ask about it and they come back with some early human from 4 million years ago. yeah ... that's like a different species mate.

The unwarranted anti-intellectual statements make me not trust any of this research. This seems like the sort of "researcher" who will do their damnest to find evidence for their conclusion, no matter what.
I haven't looked for research tbh, just personal experience. It's kinda hard to prove a negative tbh (how do you organize a research that can measure if something subjectively "bad" made people subjectively less effective?).

I've been to multiple organizations that invested heavily in DX, and as an external observer you could see they became actually slower (eg one went from test-in-prod and deploy-to-prod to a convoluted CI pipeline) - it made engineers feel like they were doing a lot less work (you just push code and forget), but in reality, an entire department was hired to deal with issues in prod, and the teams didn't really deliver anything faster at all. But 100% of the devs swore it was better/faster/more efficient.

On another, the added free time converted directly into more complexity, so tons of overengineered microservices (sometimes to the tune of 2-3x the number of individuals on a team) ensued - it got so easy to do X, everyone overdid it.
This is all mindblowing --based on what Jonathan Davis was saying, Mr. Rogers wasn't what this is depicting.

Well, yes and no. You're correct that ZX Spectrum is a lot slower than the author estimates, but there's also a software-side performance bottleneck: the code is written in the built-in BASIC language, which on ZX Spectrum, was not only interpreted at runtime, but also almost comically unoptimized. For example, people would use "aftermarket" circle-drawing routines that performed 10x better than the stock ROM implementation.

BASIC on ZX Spectrum was meant for learning, but no serious software of the era relied on it for anything that needed to run fast.

I suspect this code could be 10x faster if written in assembly or a compiled language (a handful existed for the platform).
The traces were longer but also so much less helpful for finding the problem than stack traces in other languages, including pure Java. The one I remember getting irrationally angry over how much of a pain it was to track down the bug was where I mistakenly tried to call inc on a string. This was in 2012, I suspect (and hope) it's better now, but later I got more serious about Common Lisp and never looked back (except for occasional thoughts about taking a Clojure job). CL debugging is rather a joy because of its condition system and full live development support that Clojure emulates. (There's also compile-time warnings that tell you about things like incf on a symbol whose derived (or declared) type is not a number.)
The OP refers specifically to the Portia genus. ; )
The failures of a tiny player like Tesla Solar are totally unrelated to US solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity.

From 2021 to 2022 solar PV went from ~161,499 GWh to ~202,080 GWh of net generation (~25.1% increase) [1]. Utility scale went from 112,335 GWh to 140,798 GWh (~25.3% increase) [2] and personal/small scale solar PV went from ~49,164 GWh to ~61,282 GWh (~24.6% increase). New solar PV accounts for 11,058 MW of the total 31,692 MW (~34.8%) capacity additions for 2022 [3] and 24,545 MW of the total 51,490 MW (~47.6%) capacity additions that were planned for 2023 [4].

Tesla Solar accounts for ~1/5 of 1% of solar installation capacity, so it is hardly relevant compared to actual solar energy companies.

Yep. But to be really scared of the man you can consider that during the later years of his life he lost eyesight, first in one eye, then went completely blind. All without slowing down.
