Oh! What are you seeing?
That's right, you see an ID that belongs to you and records which product you visited.
Let him show it to you later! so how are you By many huge businesses that do this and many prominent stores cooperate with them. For example, what business? I know an Iranian business called Yektan. Be sure to visit their site if you have a business and want to sell more of your products. It is a good idea to encourage users.
So I saw what a ureter! So Google can also have this data and give me tempting suggestions through the searches I do.
So don't be surprised if from now on you want to buy like me and you see the products of an online store and then you see that product on different sites .

Conventional weapons are not the future. Cyber warfare is not the future.

But computable reactive weapons are.

The answer is compute/efficiency is the weapon of the future. The faster and more efficient you are, the quicker your decisions end theirs.

FLOPS are the new gigajoules.

Nukes are a snooze factor. Like killing a spider with a boulder. The fearful new arms race is expanding your compute and restricting theirs. Death by a thousand cuts. Compute is King

With all due respect, that sounds like a problem for Disney.

I do not see why a corporations scale of intellectual property protection should have its burden foisted upon everyone else.

It makes to sense to provide a modicum of protection that can apply to individuals, but just as individuals can't require a policeman to stand guard outside their home 24/7, corporations must hire security guards if they want extra protection from the undesirable elements their commercial activity attracts.
Thats still building 2x the power generation (and you've got storage in there too). Those wind turbines aren't free. They have different maintenance costs too.

You don't get to say "oh well it'll be 1GW of solar if we also build 1GW of wind" because that's not the project.

This is all an excuse to talk around Solar's god awful capacity factors which take the shine off those $/MW headlines.

Surface air temperature for January 2024
Remote + pandemic-driven displacements forced a lot of markets out of equilibrium. A large cohort retired(not just because they got sick, but because the markets started moving very fast) and another cohort traded up to higher wage and skill positions. The shortage in fast food workers was a strong signal of productivity going up.

Productivity isn't a direct factor of technologies being available, it's also defined by what pressures businesses are facing. If they see cheap labor and their competitors see cheap labor, they aren't going to make a big capital investment in tech without either the "disruptive 10x" advantage or an external force like regulation or shifting consumer tastes. So we all got a dose of doing things differently and the market's catching up with that now.

The Black Death has also been credited by historians with putting Europe on the path to modernity, since it made labor prices rise.
> It's clearly not at WIXI.

Well, yeah, that is not in dispute. The question is: how do we know they were at the WJLX site and not just some random abandoned building in the middle of nowhere?
If you don’t have that memory to spare you can’t run this locally anyways, and keeping it in memory is the only way to have a fast experience. Paying the model loading cost repeatedly sucks.

Primary information gradient pursuit vectors? I love the notion. IMO, far too little effort has gone into the formal analysis of information landscapes and the efficient navigation thereof in natural language. Humans could benefit greatly from improving our ability to detect low vs high info in what we hear or read (or speak or write).
I wonder about where habits end and addictions begin. I think once a ball is rolling it’s not easy to stop it, as it kinda does it on itself
I think a lot of people understand the legal justification, but the question is whether it's right. Blackstone and other legal ancient history is hardly relevant though, since modern corporations bear little resemblance to companies of the past.

The original purpose of the constitution was to protect the interests of the people from the tyranny of the government.

And, of course, there's no reason people can't band together and pursue their interests as a group.

Well, corporations are composed of people. So far, so good.

However, publicly traded corporations are specifically designed to allow only a profit motive to be shared by the group. By design, shareholders do not have other shared interests and anyway the board and executives have a legal duty to the financial interests of the shareholders, not other shared interests. The people working at the company below the executives are constrained by them, of course.

So a corporation specifically does not share the general interests of the individuals of which it is composed, except where it comes to money (also, that interest in money tends to be in the short term).

To the extent we treat corporations as people with the protections of the constitution, the constitution now works for the (short term) financial interests of corporations.

Not the original purpose. And probably not a very good idea for society at large.

(However, with the money spigot wide open, it's very unlikely to change.)
The average speed of a commuting car is around ~23mph, when you account for stops and red lights. 35mph is only a hindrance if you commute by freeway every day, which many people don't.

People will take them if they're priced right and they can do things in the car without having to pay attention to the road.
[Chrome Extension] Medium for Free
I've been receiving the Medium newsletter in my email account, but recently, 90% of the links are behind a paywall. Although I've been using Freedium to read some of them, I dislike spending 2 seconds copying the link and changing it. Therefore, I spent 1 week learning how Chrome Extensions work and created one that accomplishes this with just one click.

The Chrome Web Store rejected the submission of this extension because they cannot promote the bypassing of paywalls (which could be true, as none of the extensions I tried to accomplish this worked). Therefore, here is the link in case it is useful for you: https://github.com/fferrin/free-medium

It's good enough when I don't need a number to sign up at all. Unfortunately they're not there yet. So for now.. meh

Without that it's just a slightly more private WhatsApp.

In fact I wish we could move to another kind of identifier than a "phone number" for things like this. It's probably pretty region-dependent but personally I never use my phone to actually make phone calls or text. All my voice, video and messaging traffic to friends goes through apps, though the number is unfortunately still used as an identifier. Unfortunately, because if I let a number lapse I lose access to the whatsapp and telegram accounts related to it. This way it makes it hard having multiple accounts.

I'd prefer if mobile providers would just become a dumb data pipe the same as landline providers have already become. My Spanish provider still forces me to take a "landline" with my internet but I don't even have a phone connected to it.
> Only problem is will.

We'd also need to staff each fab site with a sufficient number of experts to run the site.

I assume you're referring to "rice". In the car scene, it stands for "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" and it's typically used to refer to things that make a car look fast without actually making it so. (Think big spoilers, non-functional intake scoops, etc.).

The term is used here to express a similar sentiment; a desktop environment that's made to take pretty screenshots but not necessarily be more functional, or enhance a certain workflow.

This article confuses drug use with addiction. Addiction is a state where a patient wants to quit a drug, but can't. And that is when you want to intervene as a psychiatrist.
No. I don't think even the paid Gemini available now is behind ChatGPT4 for the things I use them for. People will be rooting for Google to lose this race but I think it's wishful thinking they were always too well positioned not to catch up and they've already done it IMO.

Whatever they lack in ability to make products is trumped by their infra + how game changing this stuff is so they were never going to just drop it even if it was just for internal use
It's also a poor analogy in that the average Dutch person is around 15% taller than the average person in Timor-Leste, which Google informs me has the smallest height difference. If the disparity in wealth were on the order of 15%, I don't think there'd be nearly as much complaint.

Instead, in many countries, it's not uncommon for some people to be sitting on a hundred, a thousand, even a million times as much money as others. The disparity is so great that it's difficult to fully visualise - hence why you get videos of people like Tom Scott driving around trying to demonstrate just how different these sorts of numbers are.

More importantly, wealth scales in a strange way. Becoming a billionaire didn't just entitle you to more exotic holidays or vehicles or mansions than your millionaire peers, it brings incredible ability to influence politics and the world, with next to no accountability from the people whose lives you are affecting. You can buy media companies on a whim. You can demand meetings with politicians. You can make economic threats in order to get your own way. And, unlike politicians, there is no democratic process to elect you or remove you.

The analogy is, therefore, absurd. The premise is that, if you have an issue with wealth inequality, you have an issue with inequality universally, at all scales. But it misses the point that the issue with wealth inequality isn't that the numbers aren't an identical, it's that extreme wealth actively causes problems.

The UK does not have a "national identity card" and attempts to introduce one were... lets say not a political triumph.

The main way you might be required to identify yourself in the UK is if a Police Officer says either you are suspected of a specific crime, or you are a witness to such a crime. In both cases officers are entitled to you truthfully revealing your name and address as part of investigating the crime, but they aren't entitled to see a photo ID as you may not even own such ID. If you refuse to identify yourself in either of these cases, or the officer believes your answer was deceitful, they can arrest you (which if you were a suspect was likely going to happen anyway).
Rundeck 5.1.0 Release Notes
If V2/3 doesn't make you look like an idiot and actually works for work and leisure, then perhaps, but its hard to develop an VR/AR headset that would do that, since it inherently cuts you off from the social world in which the esteem of the product would be evaluated.

What do we think of people who sit around with a VR headset on all day? We think, usually, that they are anti-social, that they are afraid of going outside, that they want to trap themselves in a world that generates and serves their fantasies. How does a company which makes so much of their money off of people associating their products with high social status break into a market that appears to be solely for those who stand on the other end of the continuum?

The rational is contradictory: technology (according to the Silicon Valley playbook) profits by transforming the world into a place of further alienated and isolated individuals whose entire lives are shaped by and for tech companies which only exist to exploit them; and yet, such a world, in its total form, could never appear, since people could not work and live in that world unless they participated in it collectively, at some level. Phenomenologically, we can't view this move as anything more than an extreme error of judgement, a move from a post-jobs apple that doesn't seem to understand the magic of great design, the element of the sublime that technology can create--but it would always have to be this way, since the philosophy would never overcome the profit-motive.

Its why I said that computers can only go so far. We're at the end of the rope of the transformational power of technology, and everybody knows it. The world will not change on the whim of the market, the market will just constrict and eventually kill us all.
> the DMCA not only doesn't allow the processing organization to confirm the claimant owns the IP

This isn't a correct way of understanding things. The DMCA is silent about what the hosting provider is "allowed" to do. It simply says that IF you take it down following a DMCA claim THEN you cannot be held liable for any infringement that occurred while you hosted it.

If the claimant doesn't hold the copyright, then there can't have been any such infringement anyway. But yes: if you do your own due diligence about the IP ownership and get it wrong, then you can be found liable for copyright infringement. So most providers are trigger happy out of an abundance of caution.
Why would linking llama.cpp into a UI application lead to incurring the model loading cost repeatedly?
This is a really interesting question. I think there's definitely a world for both deployment models. Maybe a good analogy is database engines: both SQLite (a library) and Postgres (a long-running service) have widespread use cases with tradeoffs.
> What exactly is "C++ programming language"

It seems to be a cryptic future programming language; the C may indicate that it evolved from COBOL after multiple generations (++).
Isn't this obvious? There is the concept of interface in the context of social communications science [1] and it seems that the conversational AI will eat them all. Frankly, not saying that apps or websites will be killed but will be neglected to that single interface.

Nowadays, there are many searches where it is much easier and quick to get a result using ChatGPT or Gemini than the Google search engine, yet Google has around 90% of the market now.

There has never really been a place for it; "Fragmentation Considered Harmful" is one of the original and most famous "Considered Harmfuls" and it's from the late 1980s. A lot of protocol engineering, from MSS options to ENDS0, goes into ensuring that you never hit the fragmentation case in the first place. It's been kept around as a mechanism of last resort for weirdo hops with bizarro MTUs.
The main reason I see is to use the same AI engine for multiple things like VSCode plugins, UI apps, etc.

That being said I use LM Studio which runs as a UI and allows you to start a local server for coding and editor plugins.

I can run Deepseek Coder in VSCode locally on an M1 Max and it’s actually useful. It’ll just eat the battery quickly if it’s not plugged in since it really slams the GPU. It’s about the only thing I use that will make the M1 make audible fan noise.

Anyone who has played an MMO with money mechanics should walk away with a good understanding of what happens with small changes to market mechanics through game devs’ changes.

Everyone who understands the same mechanics should also get why giving more wealth to people who don’t move it would collapse the base structuresnof money flows. I can’t believe how 15 year old me understood that very high earners (owners) should be taxed hard because they have zero incentive to use their money after they reach the ”end game”. Even in IT I see DINK/single colleagues buy everything they wanted years ago, and put big sums (relative to average earners) to stocks and funds. They understandably don’t have lavish spending habits so they just feed an engine that is degrees detached from the basic exchange of goods and services.

The metagame is simply to put money away into a safe scheme and not spend it towards others’ wages with services (restaurants or events) but stocks and large investment funds. At some point the money missing from the circulation just hollows out the lower rungs of the economy, especially when bigger fish keep eating the small fish: no small grocer survives against the big boys, so even that daily spend at the store goes to megacorps.

As with MMOs, we need game mechanics changes that radically slow down the built in feature of capitalism: snowballing accumulation of wealth that sucks the market dry of competitors.

Can you expand on how you determined that they went to the wrong site? The only other AM station within many miles is WIXI [1], which is 0.35 miles away and has a white building [2], unlike the one shown in the video.

The pictures shown in the OP's link only show that there were two towers (WIXI an WJLX) and eventually one (WIXI).

One-third of a mile in a wooded area is far enough to not show in the video.

This is a good thing IMO. I don't have a very powerful laptop or workstation, but do have a multi-GPU headless server. These projects allow me to experiment with LLMs on my server, and expose an API and web UI to my LAN.
Looks to me like Fyrox is competing more with Godot or Unity, than it is with Bevy. The cool part about Bevy is its ECS handling. There aren't a lot of ECS-first game engines, and Bevy is one of the few that do exist.
"60 minute overview of your past projects, including presentation" is so completely insane - is this a thesis defense for a phd, or a job application?
> So, yes. The tech downturn for this group of people--the non-passionate 9-to-5ers, particularly juniors--will last for many years, and that will lead to many jumping to other careers.

This happened after the dot-com burst in 2000. At that time there were a lot of people in Tech who would have otherwise gone into marketing, accounting or whatever.

A lot of these moved out of tech into other fields. Or they moved into less technical roles like project manager or management.
Super cool project! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I still have trouble where "beyond understanding" is in (3). One reason I'm having trouble is because theologians, for example, have made arguments about ascribing various properties about the designer, e.g. that the designer is omnipotent, spaceless, timeless, etc. This shouldn't be possible even in principle if the designer is beyond understanding by definition, just like it's impossible to make coherent arguments that a triangle does not have three sides. You've suggested that it seems silly to be able to understand anything beyond the physical universe accessible to us when we don't yet have a full understanding of it, but "it seems silly" seems to be different from "it follows by definition". And in any case, the multiverse hypothesis is an attempt to understand something beyond the physical universe accessible to us, but presumably you wouldn't leverage this same objection against it.

If you really mean "beyond empirical inquiry", I would be inclined to agree, though I don't know how other explanations for the fine-tuning of the universe are better in this respect.
Man I’m sorry to hear about all this.

How are you doing now? Are things better?

Remember it’s never too late to change in life. Sounds like a cliche to say but it’s good advice that’s true and important to repeat because it’s easy to forget. I forget it all the time and wish I would take that advice myself. Never too late to change.
