I actually wasn't aware there were any other small economy diesel cars with modern emissions tech in the US market, not alone from a US company, but the same point would likely apply to the Cruz.

Other diesel cars I am aware of from BMW, Mercedes, and Jaguar are much bigger and less fuel efficient vehicles, or much older models with very poor emissions.

Square is probably the most similar competitor (in the US at least). Paypal has some similarities. Venmo in some ways. Clover. Ayden. Stax. Wave. There are others. Of course, most banks can also provide credit card terminals and merchant services for business customers too.
It is legal to spotlight hunt some animals though (I am sure it differs based on location).

In Texas it is legal to spotlight wild hogs (on your own property). Even without a hunting license!

So, please forgive the necessary parallel here.

Let's think about dating and imagine if we both had to consent to
every single thing that needs to happen to get it on. Do you consent
to dinner with me? Do you consent to coffee at yours? Do you consent
to us getting our clothes off? Do you consent to ... you get the
picture.

Thing is, we actually do this, but silently.

The "assumptions" you rightly speak of are the mutual trust mechanisms
that allow two adults to make clear shortcuts without explicit words.
We move at a certain speed. We check for feedback. We use clever
signals. We base our trust model on the NSA definition that "Trust is
the ability to do harm" in context where there is some symmetry. Sex
is actually risky for both parties.

And no means no.

But in the digital world we're talking about a massive power
asymmetry. When you're with a big corporation it moves from dinner to
data-rape in a few milliseconds.

No means "yeah but harder".

Consent doesn't disappear because the process got complex. Human
relations are more complex than any web page.

It's about whether we obey the rules and show mutual respect. Big-tech
corporations absolutely do neither. and that's the problem here, not
complexity.

What might level the game, is if when I visit your site with my web
browser, you risk that I could do you some serious harm.
Restricting illegal profit-taking, where possible.

Most of those only impact ESCs ("Embryonic") and not ASCs/iPSCs ("Adult"). There is plenty of research that can be conducted even in those places.
Yes; the presumed obsolescence of a problem does not imply that remaining elements of its solution are "a mess".
Quantization does reduce quality of the outputs. But the point is that you save enough memory doing so that you can cram a larger model into the same hardware, and this more than compensates for lost precision.
Internalising what's a reasonable business expense compared to personal expenses is a skill I feel I've only fairly recently developed.

It's super important to consider the human cost and opportunity cost of each decision, and it's scaling characteristics.

Eg: spending $20+k on a ci system like circleci, GitHub actions, whatever might feel like a big purchase, but if you consider that split by the number of developers using it, their salaries, and that in general it scales with your head count rather than user count suddenly it's pretty attractive.

On the other hand some other seemingly small (unit) cost that applies per user of your product might be worth optimizing/eliminating as that can have a big impact on your margins - but even then you need to balance it against opportunity cost. We could increase margins by x% with y investment, or increase revenue by z doing something else where the delta of revenue outweighs the better margins.

Basically it's a big juggling act involving numbers that we're not used to dealing with in our personal finance and you need to ground your thinking in terms scaling characteristics and the companies overall revenue/burn to appreciate what actually moves the needle.
Usually that CFO doesn't have admin privileges. However, the exe he ran could very easily make use of a privilege escalation exploit on a service that does run with admin privileges. An exploit that is a buffer overflow or otherwise an exploit that is possible due to memory safety issues.

Or that exe tries to connect to other services in the network to exploit a buffer overflow on another system. An example of such an exploit was EternalBlue.

So yes, you're probably right that from a purely external perspective, attackers are unlikely to gain initial access using exploits targeting memory safety. However, once they are in, there are all sorts of memory safety bugs that could be used.
Instead of a subsidy why not just make companies ineligible for security breach liability insurance if they continue to use a memory unsafe language. It'd be a quite trivial change and we'd see an immediate shift from the largest players with tooling improvements in newer languages and momentum causing smaller companies to follow suit.
Not very surprising that the real bad boys like azo dyes are in color ink.

It's very convenient that my aesthetic preference is for blackwork!
Yeah, MISRA C [1] is a set of rules for writing C for safety-critical environments, originally targeting the automotive environment. If you're used to vanilla C, it can feel very constraining!

In the Rust world, there's the Ferrocene project [2], which aims to provide a similar kind of safety-critical level of functionality.

You made an absolute statement . . . "business leaders can never lead an engineering firm." All that is needed to disprove that statement is one counterexample, because then it has to morph into "some business leaders can lead an engineering firm and some can't."

Ironically given the subject matter, this is similar to how math proofs work . . .
Wait, are we reading the same paper? What I'm seeing is comparable accuracy to unquantized models for <4B params, and nothing reported for larger models except resource consumption.

Some highlights after reading the Wikipedia article on Stem cell controversy:

- Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Portugal and Ireland do not allow the production of embryonic stem cell lines

- The creation of embryonic stem cell lines is permitted in Finland, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom

- Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, North Dakota and South Dakota have passed laws to "prohibit the creation or destruction of human embryos for medical research"

- China has one of the most permissive human embryonic stem cell policies in the world. In the absence of a public controversy, human embryo stem cell research is supported by policies that allow the use of human embryos and therapeutic cloning.

- The Catholic Church opposes human embryonic stem cell research calling it "an absolutely unacceptable act." The Church supports research that involves stem cells from adult tissues and the umbilical cord, as it "involves no harm to human beings at any state of development."

- Islamic scholars generally favor the stance that scientific research and development of stem cells is allowed as long as it benefits society while causing the least amount of harm to the subjects.
What if I never do business in my home, but instead operate out of libraries, coffee shops, or client's locations?

Picture a carpet cleaning van parked on the street, for example.
But then he shouldn't have granted an interview in the first place. He should also expect that because he isn't self promoting like that he is soon passed over for piano playing positions (despite how good he may otherwise be) and has to find a non-playing job (teaching is common). His current job requires him to be good at interviews. If he wants to keep this job he needs to get good at it fast - it may already be too late.

Now if he decides giving interviews isn't what he wants to do and thus switching to a different job where he doesn't have to give interviews (and also will not play publicly much) is the right choice I will not fault him for that. It is his choice and his alone.
Do those studies understand why they’re observing that? I don’t think they’re very strong evidence otherwise.
The war is over. We lost. A rogue-like today means some procedural generation, and maybe perma-death. To be honest though, by the strict definition of the Berlin Interpretation, games don't leave much room for originality and are generally pretty not fun. Mostly reskins of old classics where the symbols are mapped to different genres monsters and items. Most of the stand-out entries in 7DRL were games that tried hard to break OUT of the box. Honestly weird to see the argument in 2024, but as a fellow (actual) rogue-like enjoyer, I once stood on that hill as well.
Seems to me pretty simple - the "for profit" company behind the foundation (read: the for profit entity that charges the foundation as much as it can) charged too much so the foundation dissolved.

>Unfortunately, over the past year, we have learned that Open Collective Foundation's business model is not sustainable with the number of complex services we have offered and the fees we pay to the Open Collective Inc. tech platform.

It states it right there.

Thank you! This was probably the most thorough answer I've gotten yet.

Worst case I could fly home to get it (6 months until free care ends after moving away fromwhere I am now), and I could bring 3 months with me.

This makes planning for an eventual move way easier.

The microserviceness is very much a conceit in order to deal with an application state that is several terabytes with stateful processes that have run-times counted in weeks. That imposes constraints that are hard to satisfy without a fairly modular system, at least if there is any intention to upgrade the system regularly.
SQL's nonsensical handling of null is reason enough to learn other query languages.
Every time I see a beautiful tattoo, I always feel an itch, eager to try it. But whenever I think about how much more troublesome it would be to remove these tattoos if I changed my mind, I back down. So, I haven't even started to worry about whether these inks could potentially harm my organs :-p
Seems to me that the default process should be to never show that bill to the customer then. Hide surges and have support proactively reach out to the customer to determine what's going on, rather than the other way around.
The target audience is not you. It seems to be aimed mostly at C-level execs with less technical knowhow which have less than a CS undergrad's understanding of these issues.
Sure thing, your RAG approach sounds intriguing, especially since you're sidestepping vector databases. But doesn't the input context length cap affect it? (chatgpt plus at 32K [0] or gpt4 via open ai at 128K [1]) Seems like those cases would be pretty rare though.

It’s about reducing overall attack surface. Memory safety is better than not doing anything at all?
No, the legal definition has a purpose. If the only thing stopping you from doing a crime is easy access, and a cop provides you that access, and you commit the crime, you were in the wrong.

If you don't want to go to jail or be fined, don't commit the crime, no matter how convenient or easy it seems to be.
Thank you! and thanks so much for the feature suggestions:

- Make the system font (San Francisco) an option for the UI. Maybe even SF Mono as an option as well?

Reasonable request! Won't be too hard to add

- A little more help about which model to use for beginners would be nice. Maybe just an intro screen telling you how to get going.

Yes better onboarding wizard would definitely make this easier for beginners. Don't have much capacity right now, but I'll keep this in mind.

- Would be great if Command-comma opened settings, like most Mac apps.

Nice suggestion. Will probably get to this when I add some keyboard shortcuts like new chat / search etc.

- Would be great if clicking web links opened Safari (or my preferred browser), rather than a small window that loads nothing!

Ah that's odd, it's supposed to open the link. which link do you have if you don't mind sharing? (feel free to email support@recurse.chat)
Russian and Ukrainian have similar roots, but are not "essentially the same language."

The "national origin story" (unless you mean the 1917 Revolution) is nothing like how the two countries were created.

Mexico and the US have "tons of families and other connections over the (sic) boarder as well."

The reason the elites treated the border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation as meaningless was because ex-Soviet cronies were running Ukraine to plunder its assets. Until the Maiden Revolution, these cronies were basically stooges controlled by Moscow.

The current conflict (2014 to now) is nothing like a civil war. Moscow uses some proxy forces from the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, but the majority of forces are from the Russian Federation. They control everything, supply all the equipment and determine goals and objectives. If you were to remove the Russian forces from these two oblasts (as well as Crimea and Zaporizhzhia) these proxy forces would collapse immediately.

Oh and regarding England and Scotland, well, many Scots would like to leave the UK. That wouldn't be a civil war either, but an independence movement. A civil war would be the more like the Hundred Years war...

People haven't built reliable ternary electronics, though. Soviets tried with Setun, but they eventually had to resort to emulating each trit with two hardware bits (and wasting one state out of the possible four).
Yeah same haha - for a slightly more relevant number, if every nuclear weapon yielded 50MT of TNT, the asteroid impact is approx 63 Billion times the entire worlds nuclear arsenal in terms of power.
Yeah I’m shocked how many people think they can be happy with that decision until they die.

I don’t understand how constantly and randomly testing food/vitamins for at least lead and other heavy metals isn’t a popular enough position to get funded.

Who wants lead in the cinnamon, turmeric, and everything else that everyone is eating? Surely, even the richest and most influential people would be incentivized, if not for themselves, then for their kids to have a supply chain that is checked for contamination.

Or how long it’s taking for leaded propeller jet fuel to be outlawed.
A common question people have is "is being dead healthier than being alive but sick?"

You think this is a 'common question'?
Worth remembering a few things:

- This isn't 90% "of tattoo ink", it's 90% of the inks they tested. Most tattoo ink is black, which their tests indicate is accurately labeled (edit: black ink is mostly just the element carbon so this isn't surprising).

- This kind of problem is why experienced tattooists will test colors on peoples' skin to look for reactions.

- Tattooing, though under-studied, depends on the ink largely sitting under the skin but generally being stable. While it's totally possible that decay over time could expose your organs to the contents of the ink, when it works well the ink is just sitting there so risks should be low.

- Obviously this should be corrected and is a real indictment of the medical community's position that they won't study tattooing as a procedure we could improve (the general position on tattooing is "don't do it").
That would still constitue a breach. Demonstrating a breach means showing info they should absolutley not have access to.

That said such Irish systems are very imperfect e.g. low wages for IT staff and there was breach/attack of the countries hospitals systems during Covid however the gov acknowledged the attach at the time. So very much possible.

I'd need to see more evidence before I'd take this claim seriously though.
That’s awesome but their current most advanced Intel 4 process is still 7nm. So it’s unlikely that this is going to happen on the timeline they promised.

This is it.

I think a lot of people here forgot that most businesses aren't huge corporations or tech oriented. Most businesses probably have less than 50 people and non-professional "IT Support" ie, the owners grandson who is "good with computers".

The amount of door wide open security stances I've seen working with small to mid-size businesses is like 75%. The difficulty of prying local admin away from the owner of a concrete company is quite high. It's all very ephemeral and hard to explain to non-tech savvy people.

Turning on MFA for everything possible, aggressive AV, social engineering/phishing training, and removing local admin daily drivers probably solves 99.99% of malware.

Memory safe software would be great, yes, but it really isn't the problem.
If you're a sole practitioner (what this article is about) - by definition - your business is you. And you are most often in your home.

It's not that complicated.

You want the benefits of a business while not having to worry about angry customers annoying you at your house.

I don't blame you.

We all want to have cake and eat it, too.
CMU seems like the wrong target here. Somebody needs to fund research. I think what you really want is for Congress to give less money to DoD and more to NSF &etc. Professors will just chase the money like kids on a peewee soccer team after the ball, wherever it comes from. As do we all.

DoE might be good also, for climate work. (Though, keep in mind that a lot of nuclear weapons stuff is actually DoE.)

NIH is less useful, unless researchers want to pivot into biomed somehow.

Not sure what else there is.
I have tools like make (not actually make, but I expect you to know what make is unlike my tools) that ensure while I in theory have more than 100k tests and so running them all would take 10s of minutes, in practice I'm never running more than a few hundred at a time and so the total time is a couple seconds and I don't have to worry.

There is more than one way to solve the problem you suggest one alternative. I have found other answers that let me not need to worry so much.

The address here would presumably be the one where you can be physically served a lawsuit.

My concern is that if I had an online business that I worked on at home, I still wouldn’t want my home address to be given out by my payment processor.
When we had to go into SCIFs, generally phones went into lockers. At some locations, phones stayed in cars. But that doesn't make it any harder to figure out.

But this isn't the first time people are encountering this problem. Strava has given away plenty of US military bases: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/28/fitness-tracki...

Russia has the same problem, VKontakte has given away plenty of secret Russian military bases and troop positions over the past few decades. I've never read of this on Weibo or WeChat, but my guess is they have the same problem, just English language open source accounts are keeping it more discrete for now.

The WashPost about a week ago had an article about how at a recent NTC rotation out at Fort Irwin the OPFOR was trying to figure out how an Apache had gotten past their air defenses, so they looked up commercial cell phone tracking data and were able to spot how a phone had gone across the desert at 120 mph and plug the hole in their air defenses.[1]

Adtech on the cell phone we all carry in our pocket is better at surveillance than the best tools a military has. And it's one of those things where not being part of the surveillance can make you stand out too. Think about a spy operating under a real cover, how long is their Facebook (or Weibo or VK or TikTok or whatever is appropriate for the person they are trying to be) account history? If you found someone claiming to be a 45 year old woman living in an American suburb and she had a Facebook account that was three months old, wouldn't you investigate further?

Fwiw, Rust's standard library has a cross-platform Simd abstraction: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/simd/index.html

It's nightly-only for now, but I've used it and it's lovely. I've added Simd to projects that I never otherwise would have, just because this made it so easy and accessible
The amount of ink that goes into the skin is tiny - maybe a gram of ink for a normal size tattoo. So when they get upset about ethanol or even propylene glycol - I wouldn't think the amounts are large enough to be very significant. When it comes to dyes though - I would be afraid of some of those bright colors, I have no idea what they are using and a lot of dyes are toxic. My tattoos are all black and gray - even though carbon black also contains carcinogens, I think the history of humans using it for tattoos for thousands of years shows that carbon black tattoos are not likely to cause cancer.

You have to remember that most businesses don't perform any kind of security auditing whatsoever. Any non-tech business with 50 or less people has gaping security holes. I say that with absolute certainty.
