> I was ready to get more info, now that I see it may be focused on app development only, I don't care about it, as honestly getting computers compliant is a lot easier than getting humans and processes compliant. If you're not just focused on development, this reinforces the website problem.

Same situation. I was just about to write this exact comment. I don't need a platform, AWS already has plenty of services that when set up correctly are fine. And AWS already has the checklist they're showing as the main demo implemented. You can security scan your services and get exactly this checklist.

Basic technical compliance is not the hard part! It's everything else. Like the nice doctor who sends an image by email to investigate a scan after work who ends up being a problem. Or people who share passwords because they can't be bothered to get everyone signed up for a resource. Or someone making a bad decision about what is or isn't PHI because they don't understand the rules clearly. Or the creepy person who searches for their neighbour's medical records, etc.

> "How can I show my customers that I’m HIPAA compliant?" Again, it's 2024, no one cares about badges, they want BAAs and compliance reports.

In my experience no customers will ever ask if you're HIPAA compliant. This is something that comes up in a lawsuit or when a regulator visits. If anything, security stuff scares people away, best to say nothing.

> A more detailed website would change that a lot.

Agreed, the idea that HIPAA will be one click away and we never have to think about it again is silly. Because the website is so thin it comes across as written by someone who has never dealt with HIPAA.

It's also not clear to me how this whole setup works with legal. You cannot outsource compliance. When the state comes knocking one day with a big fine because there's a breach or mistake in whatever Delve is doing, we can't throw up our arms and say, well we have this dashboard that says everything is fine.
compounded / chained models are being used heavily in the creative-gen AI area. This will follow with more value-prop for verticalized saas plays (prob alr a big chunk of new yc batch).
Ratepayers should never be on the hook for this. We need to compare the capital expenditure of these grid resilience projects (like the spare transformers in a hardened bunker) against the costs of what if such an event happened. It's obvious that for such black swan events, FEMA will get involved and ultimately the funds to recover from this disaster will come from the federal government. So as long as the capex is reasonable, this should be funded by the government.
Canada to Compel Digital Platforms to Remove Harmful Content
I don't know, I've been using Windows on desktop since 3.1 and found Windows 8 perfectly usable. In fact it was immediately better than Windows 7 because there were more keyboard shortcuts for window management.

The biggest regression in 8 was the Control Panel disaster that continues to this day and is less related to mobile friendliness and more a mismanaged attempt to try break free of some very ugly legacy components that were already behaving inconsistently in 7. Setting up a custom DNS still requires diving deep into multiple layers of ipv4 settings and popups, exactly as it did in Windows NT, I believe. It's a nightmare.

The Start menu at least since 8.1 was toggleable from full screen to corner mode, so I don't think that's really a worthy area of complaint. In every other respect, 8 behaved more or less like 7. Keyboard shortcuts worked the same. Double click worked the same. Explorer was still Explorer.

Edit to add: I just checked and Start menu was still full screen only in Windows 8.1. I guess it never bothered me because Ctrl+Esc still popped it, you could still type the name of the shortcut to find it, Win+X was there for admin menu and you could still hit Win+R to run binaries directly. Having a two-dimensional arrow key navigation felt faster than tree-based to get where I wanted too. Maybe for keyboard-centric users it didn't feel much different, while for touchscreen it was clearly better.

It's Windows 10 where they actually started actively removing features, and Windows 11 has taken that to the extreme by replacing the entire start menu and task bar philosophy that's been a core part of Windows since 95 and replacing it with some hideous MacOS dock like thing. Don't even get me started on the messing up of right click in Explorer. It's like Microsoft got taken over by Apple developers who never used a Windows PC in their lives. Awful.
What's up with KYC "in accordance with German and European regulations" to use it?

> ensure they can't compete on SOTA language models

I disagree.

For commercial NLP applications, a leading edge GPU like an A100 can help (due to cost constraints), but the true value is unlocked from Monte Carlo Simulations (heavily used in Nuclear Physics to simulate interactions among particles), as bechmacks have show magnitudes of performance in GPUs over CPUs for MC and MCMC simulations [1] just with commercial untuned hardware alone.

This itself was a major reason Nvidia has been working with the DoE since the beginning of the Exascale program [2], which itself was driven by NatSec priorities [3]

Raimondo's ban also came after the WSJ leaked how the CAEP and other sanctioned entities were accessing Nvidia GPUs despite an export ban since 1997 [4][5]

Of course this is dual use, as math is critical to everything, but at the end of the day - Nuclear Weapons is the driving factor and China's ability to erode American Nuclear Deterrence [6] and the fact that China now has a "launch-on-warning" posture [7] since 2022 instead of "on-launch" has severely spooked the US.

Was puzzled by this too, but realized that chances of a repeat buy are probably higher than a near blind shot at another category. So does make sense on some level
> Aha! So it’s not GOG’s fault, it’s DEVELOPER’S fault.

That is a distinction without a difference. I have a business relationship with GOG. A relationship predicated on their pitch that games are DRM free. Knowingly selling games with restrictions is fraud.

They do not get to pretend they are ignorant of the complaints listed on their own web forum.
I think you’re conflating two things that are different: factory farming, which is run by huge agribusiness companies, and eating meat. Small farmers can also raise animals for meat consumption, and they can probably do it on a smaller scale, with less environmental impact and less pollution than Cargill, Sysco, Tyson, and the rest of the cabal. There used to be rules controlling how much farmers could produce, and this kept meat prices higher, and benefited small farmers. But big ag got those controls removed in the 1970s, leading to lower prices paid to farmers, forcing them to get bigger to survive, or driving many of them into bankruptcy. Bigger farms require more chemicals and more pollution.

The problem is not meat production per se, but rather a distortion of the system by powerful large corporations.
with those methods, if you overcook it is pretty much game over. roasting tends to be more forgiving
10 year old online game, if you paid $60 for it in 2014 you’ve got plenty of value for money for your entertainment.

I feel like it’s very silly to expect every single game to have a single player mode. Yes, multiplayer games cost money, and yes, most of them shut down at some point. The trade off is that you can get a lot more hours out of them than a typical single player experience.

My feeling is that lot of people who don’t really understand gaming and are coming from the open source community come out on threads like this to express shock and disgust at practices that are basically industry standard, completely reasonable practices that most players expect.

It would be like if a Blu-ray enthusiast came to a movie theater and pulled the fire alarm because all the patrons didn’t get to keep the movie forever.

Ubisoft didn’t tell us they’re going to shut down servers in March 2024. They didn’t tell us they are going to shut down servers at some point in the future AT ALL. They should have let us know the shut down date up front if they knew they won’t run servers forever and/or they should have clearly labeled game as “requires server you can’t control”.
I bet their recommendation algorithms use some kind of iterative refinement to keep recommendations "fresh" and that at midnight it's just done with lower latency.
> Essentially we're in an absurd situation as humans where we have brains that want to find purpose and meaning in a universe that seems to be devoid of meaning (in a universal sense). But the silver lining on that is that it means finding purpose/meaning is actually simple - you get to choose what feels meaningful to you and can pursue that without worrying about what any external parties think is meaningful.

This description reminded me of the excellent film "I Heart Huckabees" which I appreciated during the drying out phase that OP is going through.
As a frequent eater of jalapeños and other raw peppers, this is true and frustrating.

I am more dissatisfied with the constant mold than with the occasional spicy but as a free market capitalist how can I single the market when supply side has made a decision.
For the currently used architectures, it doesn't make sense to have 5 specialized, dedicated computers as the "AI" text processing and "AI" video processing and the others use very similar architectures and there's no benefit from specialization, the "video-specialized" hardware would be just as good at processing text and vice versa.
I meant for a business that is attempting to price their goods/services on an ongoing basis. Obviously, if the business is going out of business, then goods/services might be priced below cost, but otherwise, outside of loss leaders, one would not expect a business to sell something for less than it cost them.
i kind of wish i had experienced grocery shopping back when all the weird cuts were cheap.

Fortunately it’s also easier than ever to get extremely high scoville hot sauces and peppers online to liven up my food.

Some Pepper X hot sauce is all I need now. I’m now on my third bottle and no restaurant dish in my local suburbia is spicy to me anymore.
> Those who champion federalism will often say that they believe that government power should be spread as widely as possible; that local control is best because it gives power to those closest to the problems.

The counterpoint to this is zoning rules. Sometimes you actually want the people who are furthest away from local problems to set policy. There's no new housing in major metros because wealthy landholders vote in people who set policy to prevent construction. After all, more supply means lower home prices. Setting that policy at the top allows for global optimization - nobody in DC cares that a building throws a two inch shadow over your park for half an hour during the vernal equinox.

The reality is both approaches have pros and cons.

Ditto with individual direction of funds. There's no reason to think all individual directions of funds are local let alone globally optimal. An individual or two can use their money to halt progress like the Kochs do, and the Murdochs do. This one is great. However, one data point doesn't make a trend, and there's no reason to think this individual act is representative of directed contributions.

That said this is a lovely gesture and I appreciate it.
there are green onions which IMO are even easier.

> No one is arguing that all prescriptions are the best solution to all problems.

You may have misread my comment, I wasn't arguing against this at all. I was raising that assuming a majority of Americans being prescribed to at least one pharmaceutical isn't really a sign of a higher quality of life.
They don’t make up most of our educated citizens, but they do account for many of our most educated citizens.

Fwiw, wishing for the power to punish people for being highly educated is not a good look.
> Less spicy is actually good. I prefer more flavorful chiles, with less spice.

Two problems with this idea as applies to the article. First, it's hard to separate the two in breeding (many of the most flavorful chiles, far more so than jalepenos, are pretty hot).

Second, industrial production optimizing for a lot of things: shipability, stability, shelf life, consistent size/appearance, in this case consistent capsicum ... most of these are considered more important than flavor according to revealed preference. Consider the current "standard tomato”. Round, dense, deep red, mostly flavorless.

So unfortunately you're likely to end up with a jalapeno that is more consistent, less hot, but also less flavorful - but looks good in the grocery.
QMsolve: A Python module for solving and visualizing the Schrödinger equation
I would disagree with the point that they're no less Roman than Caesar or Hadrian - you could say they were still Roman but you've got to consider that by the middle and end stage they had very little in common with their earlier predecessors.

For the biggest differences: by the time of Basil II they were speaking Greek instead of Latin, they were Christians instead of pagans, they didn't have control over the city of Rome or any more than a foothold in Italy, they had totally different styles of art and their government and military were run entirely differently. If you asked Caesar or Hadrian they would've considered it a totally foreign country.

Sure they might have considered themselves Romans still, but it's like the Ship of Theseus, all those changes add up over time. A lot of civilisations went through smaller changes yet they're still considered entirely different to their predecessors - no one would say that the modern Russians are still Norse.

Then you won the rounding lottery. It's great that you and the bank each round the same way. Also I'm jealous you only have 1 bank to deal with.

We have many banks we do business with, one of them rounds differently than the rest. It was fun to figure out how they rounded :) Even more fun altering our software to round differently for transactions involving that bank.
I think that the issue is that it's always assumed that similar things are a better recommendation. The issue is at least for myself and other people I've talked to about that a lot of times we're looking for something different from the last thing. For example if I spend a week listening to vintage surf rock the recommendations that could be given might be 60s pop, or more surf rock. But what actually I wanted was to listen to experimental jazz with a retro funk twist on it. How could they anticipate that? Talk to anyone who's deep into some art form, movies, tv, music, and you'll see recommendations given that maintain vibes more than just similar things.

They already have difficulty serving the large model (as evident in their pricing). Finetuning would introduce even more compute challenge.

As a somewhat recent south Asian immigrant to the USA, I’ve always thought Jalapeños were meant to signify the lowest spice level.

Only recently, I discovered its actual reputation is to pack a punch.

I grew up with Thai chillies as to mean “the chilli”. I still put this stuff on anything that needs some chillies. And that really does pack a punch.
I'm so so curious how much binning there is on modern chips, or whether it's 95%+ just a question of what settings are going to work for a given form factor.

Most of the various controls are sitting right there in Linux (or other OS) for power control of CPU & GPU. If cooled, could we just crank a Z1 Extreme up to a 100W core and have it be like a 7940HS? Or is there really some power binning differences?

I don't know what AMD charges for their cores. With Intel, there's been a decade of the MSRP of ~$279 for a chip, but the chips coming in a variety of different sizes across the power budgets; you'd pay the same for a tiny ultra-mobile core as you would for a desktop core. What we have now makes that look semi-ridiculous. It's the same chip. Different power budgets.

Personally, it’s wild to me to think that the ‘freedom’ to eat meat is ever in question. It’d take such a ridiculously over-the-top totalitarian move to make something like that happen. I just don’t see it as possible, it’d be like banning smartphones.

On the other hand, I do see a world where regulations increase the cost of meat (by making these factory farms do things which improve the livelihoods of the animals, but cost $). But..that’s not taking away freedom, that’s just any other tragedy of the commons regulation that prices in the negative externalities to the action that causes them.
