I am a little confused what you are saying here. Are you saying Newsom doesn't deserve all the blame, because I agree with him not deserving it all, but I don't really see anyone claiming he is solely to blame (other than you implying it).

I live in CA. I blame everyone down the chain. Most people I know say the same thing. Its not one person or entity. Its the entire chain that allows this to happen including the legislature, business owners that are lobbying, the governor that is signing these bill, but most of all the citizens voting in CA. We voted for this. IMO we are the one entity the most to blame.

Until we, the voters, step up and take responsibility for our actions nothing is going to get fixed. After all why would the business owners, legislators, or governor be expected to take responsibility when everyone who votes in the state gets to pass the buck?
Thanks for reminding me, I also got an email from Google about that. It seems like there is a larger force at play rather than a coincidence that all of these companies suddenly have similar requirements.
I mean, integrating is one of the operations you might want particular help with. Especially for integrands without elementary function integrals.

I really have no idea how companies handle these kind of decisions. It just seem plausible that a semi-technical manager that have to greenlight a project could use the app size as a parameter.
There is no need to artifically inflate the size. I can imagine how a 10x smaller than competitor app could be seen as a sign of a problem more than a positive.
> I don't understand what this is trying to say and this "mathematical model" of sets doesn't seem to be applied further on.

I think what is meant by it is that we have a set without additional structure. Other structures like vector spaces, groups, fields, etc. are (at least in mainstream maths) also sets, but they're equipped with structure - operations and axioms that govern how these operations work. But if you have just a set, you can't assume anything about the internal structure of what's in that set.
"HDMI" is a trademark. You can't claim to offer HDMI in any of your products.

The patent pools around approximately all the codecs used for media delivery are heavily cross-licensed. That includes HDMI and HDCP, but also h.264 and h.265. Most likely AMD can't legally use hardware decoding or encoding of any popular codecs at that point. Good luck with game video, streaming, or playing media discs.

So it would cost AMD - for example - their entire PlayStation/XBox business. At a minimum.
Ok can someone catch me up to speed on LLM hardware requirements? Last I looked I needed a 20 gb vram card to run a good one. Is that not true anymore?

An interesting thing, I learned to phonetically read Cyrillic many years ago and still mostly can read it even if I don't know the meaning of most words, and one day I was looking at something someone wrote in Greek and realized I could read it! I had no idea that Cyrillic was derived from the Greek alphabet, it was pretty surprising to look at something that should look like Klingon and to just spontaneously know what it says.
I first learned about clippers and the Great Recoinage in Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver. It's a fictionalized retelling of the event but all of the added context of everything else happening to Britain's economy at the time was super helpful for wrapping your head around it.

I don't really care enough to get into this, so I won't respond further but that study has largely been debunked. It uses both flawed methodology and appears to have outright fabricated data regarding death certificates. Further, it is grossly misleading to imply that the 600k killed were the result of reckless US military strikes.

There are many more displays that support hdmi. It is a simpler protocol. Display port is better and more modern, it's packetised so the timing is not fixed by the source like udp. HDMI is fixed timing and used to be much simpler hardware.
I don't really see any measures that they could feasibly put in place that wouldn't be one of:

- Incredibly easy to get around

- Extremely cumbersome for legitimate users (especially given I would bet it would get workarounds that are way more convenient for pirates within hours of the measures being put in place)

- Require laughably massive amounts of resources to put in place
I had the same thought:

35hr x $7 = 245, x4 weeks = $980

35hr x $15 = 525, x4 weeks = $2100

At my poorest (and with 3 dependents) EBT only ever paid out $~650 a month. The gross delta here is $1120. So the state should come out ahead.

But all I've heard of is hours being cut in line with wage increases. So few workers are pulling that $2100 and are presumably still on benefits.

Is there any way to filter out high-drama people from low-drama ones? I've come to appreciate people who are chill, low-drama, professional, and focused on the tasks at hand. People who, even when they hold strong opinions about something, are willing to work through a group problem-solving process that aims to build consensus and buy-in around the eventual solution.

Can behavioral interviews consistently identify those people, filter out their opposites, with minimal false-positives?
Thanks! This is a lot of fun. I enjoy tumbling the ideas in my head.
> the law forcing unethical behavior by limiting honest efforts to find the animal

Fair enough. On one hand, you have the harm caused by animals I found. On the other hand, you have the blanket plausible deniability granted to anyone using drones to find targets.

Perhaps there could be a rule about not discharging a firearm while a drone is in flight. I don’t see how that would be enforceable, however, inasmuch as it requires LE to witness the illegal kill, which almost never happens.
> On the one hand, you are able to read my mind and determine the worldview and intent behind my words.

I don't have to read your mind when you use words like "wrongthink". Clearly you think you're the hero in a dystopian sci-fi novel where a brainwashed society tries to shun you for "saying what we're all thinking".

> Meanwhile, Jack Krawczyk, a Sr. Director of Product on Gemini, has been publicly declaring on X (over years) things like "...This is America, where the #1 value our populace seeks to uphold is racism"

I mean, 60+ million people swear a blood oath to a senile narcissistic raging asshole, voting against their own interests, accepting exploitation by their cult leader, for no other reason but that he promises to make brown people suffer, so, it's a little hard to criticize Jack's claim here

> "...We obviously have egregious racism in this country.."

Again: this is patently obvious to anyone who pays even a tiny bit of attention to anything that's going on, so ...

> Do you think he is an exemplar of "wokeism" (however you want to define that term)? Do you think his words are those of the type of person who is "just trying to be decent" but has made honest mistakes in his work?

I certainly think acknowledging that 60 million voters have "hurt the brown people" as their #1 core political issue is compatible with trying to be a decent person, yes.

> Do you think he is emblematic of the worldview of Google employees?

No. Why would he be? He's just one guy.

> Do you think he is influential within the Gemini org?

Of course, but the fact that he's not willfully ignorant of the political reality of the United States does not mean he demanded that Google systematically purge their training data of white people. That is an insane jump to make. And it is also obviously not borne out by the fact that Gemini knows what a German WWII soldier looks like at all.

> [I meant] that it is unlikely (though, yes, not hard to imagine) that Gemini will allow users to alter the system prompt.

No, you said it was hard to imagine (okay, unlikely) Gemini Pro being useful because of Google's "bizarre biases". And it has become clear that, to you, simply acknowledging that racism exists is a bizarre bias. I claimed it was a system prompt, you claimed they purged the training data of wrongthink.
Companies that handle or touch U.S. customer data must have code written exclusively by citizens or people with visas with the appropriate clearances inside the U.S.

More software , such as banking software, iot, control systems all needs to be done vertically in the U.S. just as cyber security should be done by people with clearances.

It really is a security concern.
So a staunch supporter of Julius Caesar would say that he made it so bad that he had to fix it. A true political innovation
This whole thing is so weird.

What I'm most curious about is, why did the Pennsylvania Game Commission set up this sting operation in the first place?

And why did they choose to target this man in particular?

Is people recovering deer with drone flashlights some huge problem that they're trying to publicly crack down on? Because it doesn't sound like it from the article -- it sounds like this is an ambiguous section of the law where what he was doing was helpful rather than harmful.

Or did the commission have other problems with the guy but they couldn't do anything about it, so they targeted him specifically, and this sting operation was the best they could come up with?

None of it seems to add up, from what's in the article.
I like the show but it is not like the books at all.

I was pretty bitterly disappointed until I realized I could just see the show as inspired by the books. The same way I’ve written stories. I just had the respect to file the serial numbers off in editing.
Just call it a 19-bin display connector in that case. Or only put in dual-mode display port connectors (DP++), and let people get passive adapters (maybe bundle them for a bit; you can probably label the passive adapters as HDMI)
This is upsetting on principle alone. But I'm also upset because I have my PC hooked up to my TV for couch gaming and was hoping to do that on Linux sooner rather than later when HDR works properly. I wasn't aware HDMI 2.1 was another problem... I guess Windows is sticking around for that.

The other factor is unbundling of newspapers. People used to pay for foreign bureaus and investigative journalism because they had to in order to see the classified ads for an apartment they wanted to rent or the score of last night's game.
I’ve been working on something similar to this, but using the WASM build of SQLite, which is amazing. But then I started implementing a small file browser for the Origin private FS API, just so I could manage the database files when debugging, you see - and I got so thoroughly sidetracked, I only noticed when I finished the multi-modal CSV file editor which could show CSV files as sortable tables, using a streaming, web worker based parser no less. Shortly after I found the whole thing way too bothersome and forgot about it completely until now.

It’s a dangerous business, creating side projects. Before you know it, you build streaming parsers :)

> To me that sounds like the same person as he is on social media.

So randomly claiming someone's a pedophile is somehow "the same" as wanting to put a dome on Mars because it's inspiring?

I honestly don't see how you can say that sounds like the same person.

> sharing what he finds to be worth sharing?

Are we honestly looking at the same tweets? Just looked and his pinned tweet is about Mexico and asylum seekers, does that sound "inspiring" to you? What about "My pronouns are Proscute/Fauci"?

He's fully lost the plot. He's no longer about grand inspiring endeavors, and is instead knee deep in social wars, posting shitty memes all day. What's the last inspiring thing he's done?
VATSIM’s pretty neat, really enjoyed flying in sim using it before I got my actual license.

In some laptops the HDMI port is managed by the integrated GPU and the DisplayPort by the discrete GPU, so ultimately it affects which GPU you're using.
The RTX 3090 is still one of the best gaming/consumer GPUs, beat only by the 4080 and 4090. And the 5000 series might still be almost a year away.
I assume this is less about an individual retiring as it is about the assumption that something is going on that caused the individual to retire.

In my golf language, called stax, each program expressible in plain ASCII has a corresponding representation in a single byte character set. [0] The only reason a program wouldn't start in plain ASCII is the contents of string literals.

The alternate representation generally saves ~15%, as measured in bytes. However, I totally understand the argument about human-unreadable "golfed" code, which is why you can always use the plain ASCII representation if you want.

For instance, you can print fibonacci numbers in an infinite loop using this program. [1]

10Wb+Q

It pushes one and zero to the stack. Then `W` repeats the rest of the program forever. `b+` copies the top 2 elements from the stack and adds them. `Q` peeks from the stack and prints to output. This program packs down to `╪Ç►╢0` for a savings of 1 byte (using the languages own impractical character encoding).

Strictly speaking, unambiguous decimal representation - such as Ryu and its less-efficient predecessors - is unconventional, but I agree that it's correct and should be the default. (That's the "0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004 ≠ 0.3" in my comment.) My point is that it should also be easy to get a natural representation that corresponds closely to the actual bits of the float, in rouchly the same way that 0xAAAB corresponds closely to the actual bits of (int16_t)-21845, and so gives you a chance to notice that something weird is going on when, for example, you encounter a multiplication by -21845. (Something like hex(*(uint64_t*)&x) can work, but makes printf %A look beautifully readable by comparison. Also most languages - especially interpreted ones - manage to be inferior to C in this respect.)
Absolutely, and sometimes labeling does push or pressure corporations, but I just see that the main problem is not labeling the poison we're eating, its making it illegal in the first place.

6. and then take your pick on the last 2 trilogies (Jackpot #3 is not out yet though)

Neuromancer is one of the coolest depictions of the "metaverse" I've ever read, one that still inspires me to think about today!

For the longest time (like, the past 15 years) I’ve wanted a cheap small box that can overlay custom info, eg text, on the TV. The reason such a thing does not exist, other than projects like Bunnie’s NeTV (https://makezine.com/article/technology/review-hardware-hack...) is that decoding HDMI signals is illegal if you’re not in the club. I think the ELI5 reason is that content providers are afraid of unauthorized copying of DVDs (try taking a screenshot of a frame from your DVD player on your laptop).

I’d be willing to pay up to $199 for such a box if it has an open API to input overlay text and icons.
You can run HDMI over ethernet CAT-6 cables, too.
After doing a bit of research I think you're right. For some reason I got them confused.
