Things like additional inline images, hyperlinks to a bunch of places, etc non-text data. It's probably only a couple fractions of a point more spam score per message, but spammers and typical employee end user communication can look annoyingly similar.

For all his comparisons to Paul Dirac, Feynmam seems to have really respected him, often saying, at times, "well, I'm no Dirac." But unfortunately, the meeting of two great theoretical physicists was kinda lack-luster with Dirac refusing to engage much with Feynman (who must've been pretty bummed).
I know gitea is extremely lightweight. I used to host Gitlab years ago and it took way more resources. It seems like hosting it is more geared toward enterprises than individuals/very small teams.
I have driven an EV. Despite the smooth riding nature of them, I'm looking for a car that will last me 10+ years. My last car(Mazda 3) was perfection in my eyes. I really would like an EV. I don't have time or money for a headache. I am also planning on moving with my car a couple times in the next few years to different cities so there is that problem with charging infrastructure. I was just looking at the situation in LA (Silver Lake area) and for non tesla chargers it is surprisingly worse than I thought given that this is California.

For years I had no idea of this forum, no Apple technicians I worked with ever mentioned this site. Rixstep.com linked this forum (in 2016) in one of their articles and that's how I found it. Definitely felt like being given a gift. HN is/was a true hidden gem.

Air Canada chatbot promised a discount. Now the airline has to pay it
… But when Moffatt later attempted to receive the discount, he learned that the chatbot had been wrong. Air Canada only awarded bereavement fees if the request had been submitted before a flight. The airline later argued the chatbot was a separate legal entity “responsible for its own actions,”….

How exactly do you go about making a chatbot a legal entity?
The title alone is already contradictory
I think there is some language misunderstanding going on. Likelihood function is not a probability density. Likelihood function evaluated for D is equal to probability density of D (by definition). In other words, f(x;theta) as a function of x is a probability density function. f(x;theta) as a function of theta is a likelihood function. But f(x;theta) for given x and theta is just a value, which, one can say, is both likelihood and probability density.
I am!

It's set after the fall of the Han Dynasty almost 2k years ago.

Deprogramming CCP bullshit, one class at a time.
Programming is what we call a formal language with well-defined unambiguous parsing rules. Any comparisons of programming to rhetorical languages doesn't sit right with me... Well, didn't use to sit right, I guess. What with Karpathy proclaiming English to be the most popular programming language these days. Crazy times.
In the US, life expectancy has plateaued and wages are roughly the same as 50 years ago for people without a college degree. Internet and wide spread computing have caused one of the largest increases in mental health problems since we’ve been tracking such things.

Progress in terms of actual improvements to human lives has been very limited.
If you find yourself doing this kind of thing:

> Defendants also used a “verification rebuttal” script that instructed employees to provide different and conflicting answers to consumers’ common questions depending on whether the
verification was recorded or not. Id. ¶ 14(d). One “on recording” rebuttal stated that Defendants’ products “are not [h]ealth [i]insurance,” and the corresponding “off recording” rebuttal stated “[t]his is health insurance.”

then you should not be at all surprised when you get sued into oblivion.
We need a special AI tax. Profits made by foundational models (not the application layer) get an additional tax.

We're entering a new paradigm that copyright is not sufficient to handle. These AI models have sucked up the output of humanity itself, the entire commons. The public vs private distinction isn't that important. They're going to cause job losses across many fields, so we need a new solution. Relying on the court system to enforce copyright claims for the benefit of a single claimant is not a solution that scales to solve the actual problem here. Another thing is, foundational models are prone to monopoly because the barriers to access compute are so steep.
You've reminded me now that I've read somewhere as a kid that they would also roll a giant stone ball through a corridor around Amphitheatre, probably Colloseum in order to simulate thunder sound effect, probably demanded special floor surface. I cannot tell whether true or not, but I did read it.

How would you correlate this breach with actual harm? If somebody, say, hacks into one of your other accounts, or opens credit in your name, it's not always obvious where they got your info.
> I don't see how spam or fraud brings value to advertisers

It doesn't; that's not the point. The point is, as I said, that the big platforms make money by selling access to as large a pool of users as possible, and that requires them to not crack down on spammers and fraudsters--because at their scale, it is impossible for them to reliably distinguish the spammers and fraudsters from the rest of their users. So they can't crack down on spammers and fraudsters without also reducing the size of their user pool and thereby killing their business model.

The article explicitly talks about this:

Either you have to back off and only ban users in cases where you're extremely confident, or you ban all your users after not too long and, as companies like to handle support, appealing means that you'll get a response saying that "your case was carefully reviewed and we have determined that you've violated our policies. This is final", even for cases where any sort of cursory review would cause a reversal of the ban, like when you ban a user for impersonating themselves. And then at FB's scale, it's even worse and you'll ban all of your users even more quickly, so then you back off and we end up with things like 100k minors a day being exposed to "photos of adult genitalia or other sexually abusive content".
I can think of several large organizations who would love small AI companies to be pushed out of the space with a tax.
My experience running my email server is exactly what danluu says. Receiving emails and classifying spam is not a problem at all, but my outgoing mail is often blocked. It's not that I struggle to moderate the whole world, but the whole world is moderating me.

> Those who have run meaningful amounts of ads in The Platforms will know quite well that they are very frequently defrauded and almost never made whole.

"Meaningful amounts" to most ad customers is not the same as "meaningful amounts" to the platforms.
It's a fair critique! I still keep kicking the can down the road about revisiting the project and modernizing it. The ecosystem has moved along so much since I last revisited it I'll need to take a fresh look at it, accepting the PRs that are currently open is likely out of the question.

> Interest in the ecosystem is shrinking and this is one symptom.

I think the interest in the ecosystem is still very strong, there is just more publicity and marketing around the newest frameworks and capturing peoples attention. Rails is more than ever the best place to go zero to one, and still scaling past 100M at GitHub.

There are so many libraries that are largely feature complete. For example, Devise doesn't need anymore features. There is some traction of going the more lazaronixon/authentication-zero route which is a generator for owning the code rather than having everything live in a gem. This is just one specific example. Rails is moving more and more third party things in house showing it matured in the ecosystem and can move into core Rails.

I find myself reaching to a gem as a last resort if at all possible these days.

No. These are profits on foundational models. Small companies playing catch up don't make profits on foundational models.
I think we do, but we also know how to fill air-time cheaply and show advertisements.
They don't "know" the answer, they decide the answer. Judges in these cases aren't pulling the answers from the void, they're interpreting the existing body of legislation and case law that governs copyright which was written and passed by the legislature.

It's funny you say that lawsuits provide a platform for discussion that leads to policy because you're describing the legislative process. I will grant you that the structure of lawsuits and amicus briefs does lend itself to quality discussion about issues and I think the legislative process could do with a bit of that.
Well maybe it's just because I'm an unpopular weirdo, but I think "invite only" is cancer. In fact it's another head of the hydra killing the Internet. Whatever alternatives exist to the spam wasteland are strangled in crib being overly walled gardens, e.g. Discord. I also swear to god I think secret private club fetishism crippled piracy.

This is not how the good years of the Internet grew. I can't think of a single good or popular thing that started out as "invite only" other than I guess Facebook and Gmail. Both of which were actually more marketing gimmicks.
KYC or you're liable. Interesting solution. It's kinda amazing it's not already that way (since advertisers need to get paid). I guess it would make it harder to advertise, if you're not already big so that could hurt little guys, but so is scamming customers.
This is an internal managed database service, so exposing Prometheus metrics still doesn’t solve the issue of reliability for the consumers of said service. Of course, the “query engine layer” probably has multiple components, and could have Prometheus running somewhere in the stack.
Agreed, thanks, you expressed it better than I could.

This is why I tend to question the YIMBY war cry of build build build until rent is affordable, as unrealistic. As you say, the build rate has to be consistently above the absorption rate. But that seems quite unlikely since builders are not chasing diminishing profits.

That's why don't see real world examples of cities that become denser and denser while becoming more affortable (relative to income, as you point out).
Even today there are places where both a bride-price and dowry both happen. There is no reason they cannot coexist - because they do.

The bride-price is a sort of contract of exclusivity payment from the groom's parents to the bride's parents, and the dowry is from the bride's parents to the groom/couple in order for the bride to have a certain level of life. They serve entirely different purposes.
The one thing I hate about presentation systems like google slides is they seems to be highly allergic to accuracy and consistency.

If you're looking for careful consistent alignment with margins, fonts, and sizes respected, then you're in for a hell of a time.

You try to align things and they get fractions of an inch off or one slide is pt size 18, then then next is 18.5 or there's alignment that's the baseline as opposed to the whatever the line below letters like p q j use ... it's constant monitoring and watching, flipping back and forth making sure it didn't just "smart move" shit around the screen trying to help me out.

Then there's other things, like you're trying to move something and it selects the ruler guide instead. Can't you just lock those down? (the answer is NO)

It's really insane. They appear to assume I'm not serious about professional style and consistency.

And yes, I've tried editing the theme, going through online guides, reading the documentation.

there are plenty of companies where the thought of an exception, let alone such a restriction, is entirely alien. in part because it would take many of these companies, combined, to match the furniture/head count of full corpo.

you also are ignoring the non-technical leadership class. there are plenty of exceptions in full corpo. clearly you weren’t special enough to get one on a whim. no judgement there, never was myself.
It's probable that Steam doesn't want to do that. Otherwise I imagine it would be there already.

Do they not have the hand held baskets there? In most other countries I have been too in Europe, Asia, Australia the supermarkets have both wheeled trolley and hand held baskets or even only baskets for smaller convenience type stores for those needing less items.
On the other side, a movie that never got struck down at any point in history won't be dramatically subversive nor give something you wouldn't have got from any of the thousands of area optimized mixed-up versions that emerged from the classics.

As a modern viewer you won't get much more from Romeo and Juliet than from the Titanic.

In that respect, randomly sampling movies is underrated and should be the go to if you're trying to change your life.
> I would say the point of housing abundance is to make moving easy.

That's an interesting take, although I can't agree these are related.

It's not scarcity of housing that keep people from moving, it is that moving is mostly undesirable once you settle somewhere. If both spouses have a job and kids in school, you have three sites anchoring you there. And you like your neighbors and friends in the area and you like the neighborhood. Why would I move, even if there is an infinite supply of housing?
The web comes in 2 versions. One of them has a basic social contract. maybe
They have differences but they are both forms of IP protection.

Citizens need some form of automatic IP protection or else anybody could (for example) copy someone's proprietary code and start offering a competing software service without any legal repercussions.

That would be completely wrong since the person who wrote the code invested a substantial amount of effort to write it. Someone who has better business connections shouldn't be able to just copy it and use it to launch a competing service... Such competitor could leverage their business connections to secure funding to drive the original author of the software out of business using their own work against them.
I have posted this criticism before but I encountered Todd's videos and was quite impressed by them. I then watched his review on water purifiers having done my own research beforehand and while he does end up recommending a decent purifier there is so much more to purification than just what he measures (TDS).

In the end his omission of other factors have led to a conclusion that isn't entirely accurate. (That Zerowater is the best because it filters TDS to 0).

What about bacteria? Other filters that faired poorly in the TDS test focus more on that and then there are a few major brands that weren't even featured.

What about clarify of water? He did touch upon this very briefly but did not go further into it. You would think that a TDS of 0 indicates the water is perfectly clean. This is wrong as TDS cannot measure everything that may be in the water.

There is more to water purification but these are just two examples.

All in all, I have been impressed by Todd's reviews but after watching this review where I actually had done some research into the topic before watching, I came away doubting all his other videos.

What did I miss just because I am not a subject expert in the topic?

I guess at the very least his videos likely eliminate the very worst products but I bet you people are buying whatever products he recommends without thinking about them and may be getting burned or not getting the best product for them.
IIRC Titanic doesn't open with a joke about raping virgins.

FixedFloat has confirmed a hack that resulted in the theft of at least $26 million worth of Bitcoin and Ether.
The hack reflects the growing risks and challenges of on-chain cybersecurity in the crypto industry.
FixedFloat, a decentralized crypto exchange, has confirmed a hack that resulted in the theft of at least $26 million worth of Bitcoin and Ether. Since February 17, a number of users have complained on the exchange’s X page about stalled transactions and funds being lost.

Shortly after it was originally reported on X (previously Twitter), the FixedFloat team acknowledged the attack. When the massive outflows started, the team put its services in maintenance mode and claimed it had “minor technical problems.”
Why do you consider switching to ZED from Neovim? ZED is lightyears away from a good Neovim setup in terms of functionality and efficiency. The problem with Neovim is the setup and config to do all, but you already mastered it.

Huh? Airlines are notorious for being bad for investors.

So I'm not sure where you get your claim from?

If you believe the value isn’t in the material, then it should be a simple matter for you to avoid using it, and naturally doing so won’t be an inconvenience for you because there’s no value in it.

Not really clear why the means of distribution are valuable without anything of value to distribute, though…

I think the original law was: Manual registration required for 22 years of protection. Manual re-registration required for a 22-year extension. Public domain after 44 years at most. I’d support that. Make something at 18. Sell it until you are 62.

“Author’s life + 70 years” is much too slow for the pace of culture in the past 70 years.
This is something I rarely see addressed. AI proponents always fall back to "it's just a new tool, just like all the old new tools that made things easier" but all the old new tools only opened up more degrees of freedom by automating away tedium. So much generative AI automates away the creativity leaving only the tedium, and leaving limited ways to even create.

If I have a vision, I cannot pull that out of my head and make it real using generative AI. Maybe I can get someone else's take on my concept, but I don't have the flexibility to build the image in my head. That's the real difference between the new tools of old and the "new tools" of today. You can't actually create with them, just sift and hope with varying degrees of control, but no creativity.
Sometimes I've scanned code bases of my own for all user definable variable names and just levenshtein distanced them. It's kind of useful, but the hurdle for me at least is that I need to run something in a terminal to get the results. Maybe I'd use it more if it was a plugin in my ide of choice.

Something else you could maybe do is to simplify the code and compare sequences of statements and expressions to each other.

ie the 2 statements "foo = bar; foo += 20" is identical to "zoo = war; zoo += 20"
And the pre-pre, and probably pre-pre-pre. Much respect to those who can follow this.

Wouldn't that be the "best case" for email because of the centralized idea? In reality it's a few huge companies that matter and if you end up on one of their lists because of some bad IP, missing header etc. you are a bit out of luck.
Hard agree.

I think this also simultaneously highlights the genius of someone like Felini with 8 1/2, referentiality done right to actually get at deeper themes/characterization, not just for the sake of referentiality itself.
Here’s a new way of thinking about it. “Asian American films” are generic American films. Some generic American films are about Italian-American crime families in New York, some are about Indigenous teenagers in Oklahoma, some are about detectives in Minneapolis. And some are about Chinese-American immigrants in Los Angeles county.

Generic American film audiences often get excited about films that tell stories they can easily identify with or that speak to their own life experiences, especially if those films are relatively rare.
The target audience was like that -- warriors. They like warrior things. Like detailed depictions of strikes and injuries.
There is, but the fact that almost nobody knows that it exists might be a feature.
