posed in ignorance (perhaps genuine ignorance, perhaps feigned) above, we (humans) have been measuring gas properties in isolation for 200 years (and more) and have been specifically measuring (and storing as bottled samples) atmospheric gas composition since the start of the Cold War.. seventy odd years or so now.

Much of our high quality environmental data comes from cold war research - ocean tempretures were first mapped at large scale by Scripps in order to use thermoclines to pinpoint submarines and other sounds in water.

In the civilian arena, Cape Grim is of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Grim_Air_Archive

https://researchdata.edu.au/cape-grim-air-archive/678420

This and other global references informs us about the changing atmospheric makeup and other experiments inform us about the increase in trapped heat from incoming solar radiation.

Ah, mobsters were part of the fabric of life in 1970s Milwaukee. Joseph P. Balistrieri, alleged Underboss of the Milwaukee crime family, owned a stately home on the same block as my parents, a few blocks from the lakefront. An old lady (his mother?) answered the door when I went door-to-door offering snow shoveling services. She said no and was not very nice about it. An unmarked surveillance sedan was parked, idling all winter long, across the street from Atty. Balistrieri's home. The agents (presumably FBI) never smiled to the kids who waved. My parents joked to neighbors that we lived on the safest block in the city. It was all very normal.

I ran a music newspaper in Milwaukee in the early 80s (the Express, still in business after all these years as the Shepherd Express). Our advertisers were bars and clubs. One club that wasn't very popular underwent extensive renovation frequently, changing themes from urban cowboy to disco to hard rock, and other club owners said it was a scheme to launder Las Vegas syndicate money. I went to sell advertising to the club owner and he memorably greeted me by saying, "You may be the apple of your mother's eye but you are nothing but a tiny speck of shit to me." After I established that my business partner was best friends in law school with the fiancee of his nephew the dentist and audaciously pitched a full-page ad, he amicably agreed to run a 1/8 page ad every month as long as I never bothered him again.
Maybe I misunderstood you, but Anduril doesn't include strobe modes on the main cycle, and it lets you configure how many brightness steps you want (or hold for continuous ramping). So it sounds to me like you should want people to check out Anduril, since it addresses the two issues you mentioned with your old flashlights.
South Fulton was not part of the City of Atlanta, it was an unincorporated part of Fulton County south of the City of Atlanta. It was incorporated as a separate city, but never as part of or separated from Atlanta.

Yes.

I'm not sure why you're implying that disabled is a dirty word. That's the word that pretty much every disabled person uses to describe a disability. It's the official legal term for the same.

And yeah, it's a personal attack when you tell someone they're a bad person for having a disability that inconveniences you.

Just to reduce the crap in the log and also because I can, I have my SSH servers (not saying what their IPs are) using a very effective measure: traffic is dropped from the entire world, except for the CIDR blocks, which I put in ipsets, of the five ISPs over three countries I could reasonably be in when I need to access the SSH servers.

And if I'm really, say, in China or Russia an really need to access one of my servers through SSH, I can use a jump host in one of the three countries that I allow.

So effectively: DROPping traffic from 98% of the planet.

Boom.
Yes, those are 'closed' voicings of the basic inversions, though. What about f4 c5 g5? Still a C/F, but an open voicing.

I mentioned Sonic Pi in my post - it actually has a bunch of built in API support for this sort of thing.

Generating all the basic inversions of all those chords for all those root notes is as simple as:

(note_range :A2, :D5).each { |root|
[:major, :minor, :major7, :minor7].each { |chord|
chord_size = chord(root, chord).to_a.length

for i in 0..chord_size do

the_chord = chord(root, chord, inversion: i)

end
}
}

'the_chord' gets set to arrays of midi notes corresponding to every inversion of every chord.

That's generally a rocker switches work on devices in America, e.g. guitar amps: the side that is pressed is "on" or selected/enabled.

Last time I was in Europe (Portugal), I remember having a lot of difficulty making sense of the light switches, but it was one of those apartments where you have two or three light switches controlling the same fixture, which is always confusing.

Still, I think the American light switches are actually pretty good. Maybe one day we will get a Technology Connections video about light switches around the world.
For people who are interested in this, you might want to follow the Ukraine-Russian war and see some “combat” footage. It’s much different than anything of the past. Lots of drones dropping bombs on unsuspecting soldiers. Many don’t even see any real combat action. They go there, sit in a field somewhere, get their legs blown off by a drone, and have to be evacuated. Gruesome depiction - what war is all about.
There is nothing here about App Store fees. Spotify has a smaller pie due to their millions of unpaid listeners, whereas Apple only has free trials.
This author is literally asking Bard these questions and writing an article about its responses. Why are we treating this like its real journalism?
I am also but the article is about the ancient lake also. It has some interesting GPR (radar) images.
I know what you mean, but in this situation it shouldn't be a major problem. These would be variables scoped locally and one would hope that this scope would not be more than about a page of code, and hopefully much less. Also - one would hope that local variables are not being re-used!
Where else are they going to live? Unlike America, Japan doesn't have massive homeless encampments full of tents in random places all around the city, so they generally all congregate in certain parks where their presence is tolerated. From my experience living in Tokyo, I'd say that looking at those parks and riverside areas is a very accurate way of counting the number of homeless.
I'm going to try to provide / justify my potentially hypocritical viewpoint:

I use Cloudflare (free tier) in front of the very few and almost entirely unused websites that I run. I believe that the service they provide is useful for protecting the IP addresses of the servers on which the content is hosted, whilst also providing some amount of protection from malicious traffic.

I also agree that centralisation of services is a big problem for the future of the internet.

My position is that, whilst there seem to be increasing voices / examples of Cloudflare's (potential in) acting against the nebulous notion of "spirit of the internet", for me they certainly haven't reached the "evil" stage. I'm also of the understanding that it's Cloudflare customers that choose to block access from Tor or VPS IP address ranges and / or add Captcha's or other bothersome verification. True Cloudflare enable it and make it possible, but the administrators of the website that you're trying to visit have made the choice to make it more difficult for you to access their content; not Cloudflare themselves.

I would prefer there to be similar-scale alternatives to Cloudflare as a kind of a middle-ground decentralisation of centralisation. I'm sure there are alternatives, but I'm not yet motivated enough to even consider starting the research process.

If Cloudflare start selling visitor analytics to data brokers, however, very fast goodbye.
30 injured is a lot more likely to be something like a Shahed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Shahed_136). More cruise missile than quadcopter.

How are you seeing this? I thought they removed my original comment.
Until you encounter a switch that's part of a three-way switch arrangement where up can be on or off depending on the position of the other switch in the circuit.
If you're the only one accessing those services, then why use a VPN instead of port mapping those services to localhost of the server, and then forwarding that localhost port to your client machine's localhost port via SSH?

Processes that transform creative work do not add creativity, but also do not erase it. So both your Python files and anything in the __pycache__ dir are copyrighted. More specifically, the __pycache__ is the same work in a different form, so it's the same copyright. You couldn't, say, dedicate the source to the public domain and then claim copyright over the binaries.

DMCA anti-circumention has to do with computer programs that enforce copyright. The work being protected has to be under copyright, but not the protection itself.

The only reason why AI art is completely uncopyrightable is because the only human contribution is a text prompt which is too short and functional to be copyrighted. Even if you're getting creative with your prompt writing, none of that creativity translates over into the final art - you're just keyword stuffing a small language model.

Tell that to the pedestrian dragged under the car that didn’t know how to behave in an emergency. Or the other pedestrian killed by that other self driving car.

Adding self driving won’t remove unsafe drivers from the road it’ll remove professional drivers who are largely safe and law abiding. They’ll be replaced with moronic robots and the most unsafe people will still be on the road.

You can take your self driving future and shove it up a different timeline.

> But if someone is releasing artwork for free of someone else, that is fair game.

Within limits. If, say, said artist posts from their own account, signs the art, or otherwise links the deepfakes to themselves, then this could be unauthorized use of someone's image in order to benefit by raising their own status or otherwise profiting in another way than direct sales. I'm sure that's actionable.
Only a sentence or two of the article talks about life. The article is actually about the ancient lake bed and how they confirmed it and the technology used to find it.
I agree with the part of being sick of it, but I also wonder why it even matters.

So what if there are microbes in the maritian soil? What difference does it make to us? Except possibly the worst invasive species incident in human history.

Just bury a trucking container in Nevada and live in it, That's exactly what living on mars will be like, except the line of logistics will be much more practical.
KERNEL32 is mainly implemented through calls to NTDLL. NTDLL is the one that triggers the actual system calls or thunks, the actual implementation is in NTOSKRNL.exe

Meanwhile USER32 used to do system calls to Win32k, but then they changed it to call Win32U, and have Win32U be all system calls to Win32k.

You can still be guilty of insider trading and not be an insider. If you get inside information from an insider and trade on it, even though you are not an insider or even if you didn't know the person you got it from was an insider, you are still in violation of the law in the US
> As in they're stupid? How would they not understand it's a reward.

A lot of people, if you give them a dollar they'll try to spend it on something. And that, counterintuitively, means they don't see the dollar as a reward. Someone who sees the dollar as a reward will put the dollar on their pile of dollars and then feel good because they have a dollar. The dollar, in itself, is the reward.

If someone is dirt poor, I assume they don't have a habit of seeing money as the end in itself.

> Russians “were prepared to end the war if we agreed to – as Finland once did – neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.”

Ukraine would never agree to that. There'd be literally nothing stoping Russia from resuming war at their convenience. All the declarations of Russia made thus far about Ukraine has been broken.

Are you suggesting that there are words which do not have a specific meaning?

If you want to break out a different dictionary be my guest, but faith means, and I quote [0] the first entry in the Cambridge dictionary, "great trust or confidence in something or someone". Spiritual, FYI, is "relating to deep feelings and beliefs, especially religious beliefs".

If life on Mars had a separate origin (say, with a different genetic code) it would be strong evidence that life is common in the universe.

However, they'd need to rule out transfer of life between Mars and the early Earth. If they can't do that, this is still somewhat interesting, since it could mean life was transferred back and forth between Mars and Earth during that period. It might also mean there's still life deep in Mars' crust where liquid water can still exist, and that life could give more information on what early life was like (being another branch of our evolutionary tree).
Yeah the peace deal ~totally~ would have saved Ukraine from Russia.

> Former federal prosecutor John Franke led me down the staircase to the basement of his suburban Milwaukee home, stopping at a stash of bankers boxes. “They sat in storage in different houses for the last, what is it, 40 years?” he said. Franke peered inside one of the boxes, which was filled with court documents, FBI wiretap transcripts, notebooks and other files from the years he spent working to win convictions against Balistrieri and his associates.

It’s surprising to hear that the prosecutor was permitted to keep all these documents for himself. No explanation is given in the article about whether this is legal.
The WELL's 2024 state of the world with Jon Lebkowsky & sci-fi personage Bruce Sterling has quite the rundown on this war. Part of it is the drone warfare, but the imagery of Russia sending endless hordes of people into slaughter for no good reason (other than to maybe perhaps reveal some targets to fire artillery/missiles at) is crazy wild. https://people.well.com/conf/inkwell.vue/topics/540/Bruce-St...
Yeah, growing up there in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s we had all kinds of rumors about the Balistrieris and where the bodies were dumped. We didn’t know anything of course, but there were definitely stories about speakeasies that some of the older parents may or may not have been involved with.

I never ran into anything resembling organized crime. But then again I don’t know of ninepins have recognized irbid I saw it.

al_borland (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39167506 ) posted this link earlier. It looks like the laws are being appropriately tailored not to "obscene" materials but toward "intimate" materials (where "intimate" supposes a right of privacy, regardless of whether fake or not).

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/sharing-deepfake...

: the “Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act,” which seeks to "prohibit the non-consensual disclosure of digitally altered intimate images." Under the proposed law, anyone sharing deepfake pornography without an individual's consent risks damages that could go as high as $150,000 and imprisonment of up to 10 years if sharing the images facilitates violence or impacts the proceedings of a government agency.
Nevada is not far away enough to keep you safe from all of the Earthlings who are angry that you destroyed their planet.
The social network paradigm works best for me when explaining to new people.

You know how Facebook tracks your friends, and the friends they have, and friends and friends, well that kind of relationship can be called a 'graph'

Once you talk about that, I then try to get them thinking about things in a different way.. such as:

Take this cup sitting on this table... we could say that in the same way that two friends are connected.. that the cup is also connected to the table.

Which means, the cup is two connections away from the floor!

That is a good real world example that people can get..

Then as you look around the room, look at how things are connected to what they touch...

It's possible to build a pretty cool graph that represents those connections just by following the paths you can see around the room.

Then you can talk about how that graph is one where things are linked by touch.. and what are other ways we could represent connections... for example, what would it look like to draw a graph of what object can SEE another object. How different that graph would be.

It's enough to get ppl thinking differently and have a high level view of Graphs
I have no interest in blaming anyone. I'm talking about an attitude I see in this thread, which I believe is shortsighted.
>History says that the things in the middle, usually ones with the clearest computational model beneath them, get a fancy name and we stop calling it AI and we just call it algorithms.

I've heard this before, but do we? Which were those this from the past that we "stopped called AI and we just call algorithms"?

I see three categories:

(1) very complex algorithms that we never did call "AI".

(2) stuff we did call AI, and we still do - things like expert systems, or IBM's Watson, or game AI. We knew, and still know, that those weren't AGI.

(3) some stuff promoted as AI (like the "AI assistant" Clippy), but which, marketing materials aside, nobody really considered AI or called them that.

But I don't remember this demoting/relabelling of stuff from AI to "just algorithms". It might have happened with some stuff, but I doubt it was a "classic" development as its portrayed.
Seconded! At least the countries please.
