I got this non-dismissable dialog today on a TV which has the Roku software installed, but isn't a Roku product. So not only was the Roku functionality blocked until I agreed, but also the ability to use the TV as a monitor was disabled until the agreement was accepted.

Two interesting notes:

* In order to opt-out of the binding arbitration, you have to identify yourself and your devices, and possibly provide a proof of purchase, to Roku via snail mail. This is information that they would not necessarily have for a device like a 3rd party TV that just happens to use the Roku software.

* There is a clause in the agreement[0] that if more than 25 arbitration requests are received within a period of time, Roku is allowed to group the requests to avoid having to pay the abritration fees for each[1].

K. Mass Arbitrations. If 25 or more Claimant Notices are received by a party within 180 days of the first Claimant Notice that the party received, and all such Claimant Notices raise similar Claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, then these Claims will be considered “Mass Arbitrations.” You or Roku may advise the other if you or Roku believe that the Claims at issue are Mass Arbitrations, and disputes over whether a Claim meets the definition of “Mass Arbitrations” will be decided by the arbitration provider as an administrative matter. To the extent either party is asserting the same Claim as other persons and are represented by common or coordinated counsel, that party waives any objection that the joinder of all such persons is impracticable.

i'm probably not a good person to give advice on this, but what i've been doing is installing the cross-compilation gcc environment under debian and qemu-user. this allows me to build statically linked executables and run them as if they were native executables, and also to disassemble the executables and object files with riscv64-linux-gnu-objdump (though it produces incorrect output for instructions like addi and slli, it's good enough to see what's going on)

specifically i installed gcc-riscv64-linux-gnu and qemu-user-binfmt

also i read the risc-v spec and assembly programming manual

i also got some risc-v single-board computers but haven't done anything with them yet

i haven't been doing anything with the v extension, which i think is the most widely supported simd-like extension; though it's not exactly simd, it offers the same kinds of benefits for the same kinds of applications

Becoming?

Stalkerware, data brokers selling women's information to the Gilead apparatus, Palantir... none of this is new, and present much greater threats on a day to day basis than this.
> I don’t think you understand what you’re saying. “A linear combination of non-linear features” is not what people mean when they talk about linear regression.

According to who? Did you watch the talk I linked? Because in that video, NeurIPS gave their test of time award to a paper where they generated nonlinear features and used those to train a linear classifier. I guess the committee at NeurIPS also didn't understand what they are saying?

> And even if they were, a neural network will do a much better job of generating the non-linear features than you will be hand. So again, it’s logically obvious that a neural network will be capable of performing better than simple linear regression.

Again, logically obvious but often empirically false.
I have a library that uses a headless browser to generate pdfs, and supports "manual" (js-based) triggering of event for pdf generation, enabling the use of any client-side composition you like. The implementation is somewhat specific to my template library, but the templates themselves are just a zip file with the html/css/image/js/etc files: https://zipreport.github.io/zipreport/
Well, we're living in an era of electronic crack, being a social species has its disadvantages as well; people can become addicted to clout.

Think of all of the "I rescued this kitten from a well!!!" videos, only to find that that's the only type of video that channel makes, ie they're throwing kittens down wells.
There should be sth closer to an 'iron fist' approach, though. GDPR is a general data protection law. It's the lowest common denominator for all of industry. Industries that are particularly invasive to privacy are to be (and currently are) regulated with more specific legislation that adds to GDPR. Some provisions of DMA and DSA, for example, add more regulatory cost to Big Tech and Big Tech solely. ePrivacy is also lex specialis to GDPR, and further hampers adtech privacy invasions.

There must be more GDPR enforcement. Not just against the primary culprits.

It’d be awful getting sick on a bad batch, however.
A lot of people are definitely on it. Many founders I've known were on some kind of stimulant and I've known countless colleagues on it. Part of me wonders if its in some way a compensation for burnout or having to do mountains of dry work. But I mean: is it that different from any other profession ingesting huge amounts of caffeine?

Caffeine can work to improve wakefulness but it gives you a lot more central nervous system stimulation which doesn't really help with concentration. As a result: your heart will pound and you'll get many side effects without the massive benefits that regular stimulants would offer. It seems to me like our economy in many ways depends on stimulants to thrive. It helps work feel more meaningful, gives us energy, and jump starts the day. What I don't get about caffeine though is for years I've seen study after study saying how beneficial it is but more recently there's some negative studies coming out. I wonder what researchers currently think about its health benefits.
> most closest/easiest non-Slavic European language for Russians is German.

Speaking as a Russian, I find this assertion very questionable. Lithuanian and Latvian are far closer to East Slavic languages, for one thing. But even among West European languages, Spanish is easier IMO.

In general, Russia borrowed a lot of science and engineering stuff from Germany, and definitely the military, but when it comes to governance - no, not really.

This reminds me of this 1947 documentary [1] in French that imagined smartphones. Many scenes are surprisingly accurate.

I have similarly found a shorter time horizon in my imagining of the future, which I find less need to do because the present is so advanced in comparison to even my predictions in 2010. With an accelerating pace of change, thinking linearly as before makes less and less sense. I find myself trying to stay abreast of current developments of which there are so many.
We're looking at a repeat of the era when Japanese cars hit the market back in the 1960s. (Or Korean companies in the 80s) Over the course of some years, we'll find which Chinese brands are good, and which brands are not so good.

Some of our local brands will merge and/or disappear, as they get squeezed out.

It'll be pretty much the 'Get a new one, throw away an old one' meme for a roughly constant number of car companies.

> They envisioned robotic tailors and even today we are far away from that

There was a startup 3 decades ago, where you ordered custom khakis on the web. As a first step towards broader custom clothes. Entering assorted measurements, or modifying the dimensions of a previous purchase, a custom pattern was quickly laser cut, manually stitched in one of the last garment factories in the US, and overnighted. Patented, sold, bungled, abandoned. Stitching automation continues to improve, but full automation isn't quite there yet? Body scanning seems close. So near-term next-day almost-automated tailoring from Mexico?
This LLM generated garbage is pure rubbish. BTW I'm not saying all LLMs outputs are garbage: but that one is the usual confident fart.

> discusses the work of Louis Bachelier, who in 1900, derived a formula to price options. This formula, known as the Black-Scholes-Merton formula

Fuck no: BSM is called BSM because Black, Scholes and Merton build up on the work of Bachelier. Otherwise it'd have been called the "Bachelier formula" or something like that.

Downvoted and flagged for having generated and posted vomit.
This looks fantastic! I’ve been waiting for something like this.

My only gripe is that data loaders don’t seem to support Parquet files, which is really annoying.

There’s an interesting possibility here where you can have large datasets in Parquet, exposed via HTTP, whilst being generated at build time with all the benefits that gives you (being able to read only specific columns, filtering via row group statistics etc). Not dissimilar to the “SQLite over http” WASM demo I guess.

Because right now I need to take my large, nicely compressed dataset and export it as either a CSV or a zip file? And then the browser needs the entire thing, even if I’m just viewing a subset of the data? Which is much bigger and much slower than it needs to be.

I've always been kind of amazed by nostalgia for the Amiga. I was a young computer user in this era, and — despite having heard of the apparent media superiority of the Amiga — had never even heard of someone seeing one, let alone own one. I felt like more people claimed to have portals to Narnia in their closets than had Amigas.
Yeah imagine giving an AI root access to the server with your production database on it. Now I really want to try that in a VM to see what will happen. Even odds at some point it tries to rm-rf everything.

1. That is not a question.

2. Yes, there is a burden. But why should it be borne by young people instead of the wealthy? (That's a question.) Their wealth increased greatly on the backs of the workers who'd like to retire. (A statement.)

It can't think anymore, it is arrogantly wrongly overconfident, it can't detect it's own mistakes anymore, and it has goldfish memory. For the record, it was brilliant and the best LLM ever, but now it feels like GPT2 levels of quality. It all started 2 weeks ago, when chatgpt got `silently` updated (https://chat.openai.com/share/512002b1-ceb3-48b5-9a29-d44b63...), In the beginning, it is decent, you can see towards the end there is certain gibberish (when the update happened). When creating a new chat, the quality seriously went down. I am looking for replacements, not sure where everyone went, what are they using nowadays?
Doesn't make much sense to revive shipbuilding in the US when you'd have to import the steel. We still wouldn't be competitive on cost.
I'm sorry for your loss.

I was speaking specifically towards screening more and detecting earlier. They have utility, but recent evidence seems to indicate that it's not nearly as much as the public assumes.

That's an interesting article. I'm aware of this sort of radiative cooling, but usually convection and conduction, along with evaporative cooling will be much, much more important than radiative cooling.
I'd like to see some kind of report or article showing the cooling potential in W/m^2. I remember someone made a metamaterial optimized for emitting heat in the wavelength of the atmospheric window, but the value was quite low.
So, honest question, is it just a super power to stay on task?
I generally agree with you as a learner, though I've found advantages and disadvantages to the fairly inflexible learning expectations provided by a university environment.

A useful aspect of the language that I was required to learn was a stricter focus on grammar. I got away for a while with a weaker understanding for verb conjugations during conversation, but the courses required me to learn this thoroughly. Though this wasn't necessary for general communication, this helped with preparation for a professional language assessment and for formal communications.

However, a less useful aspect that didn't matter much to my communication abilities came from taking a course on pronunciation. Though learning the pronunciation rules for the first two thirds was helpful for reducing my foreign accent, the last third required a couple assessments that heavily weighted students' abilities to identify the regional accent of a speaker (e.g. identifying between accents that were Andalusian versus Rioplatense versus Chilean). While there is arguably some value with identifying a speaker's accent from an interview or film, this took a lot of time that I could have spent learning other aspects of the language, and I wish this skill would've been optional to learn.

So, you've hit on one of the downsides of learning Spanish in a formal environment via inflexible expectations of learning goals, though I did find upsides too (that said, a motivated self-learner could absolutely learn grammar on their own—though a classroom environment does provide a nice motivation).
I meant someone checking out the exact same Github repo (for an application), not someone depending on a library I released. If you have a lock file, it works in that case, I believe?

But actually I use Deno, and I'm honestly not sure how that works either.

As for library dependencies, I know how it works in Go, which is how it should work. When you add a dependency, and it has its own dependencies that you don't use directly, you get the same version that they tested with, which is the lowest one they specified. It only gets overridden if something else requires a higher version.

This means that when a new version gets released somewhere, nothing happens until people notice it, bump a version, and hopefully test it. No library version changes unless there's a commit.

Taking the latest minor version means that it hasn't been tested by anyone downstream. (How could they, when it didn't exist before?)

New library versions should be tested by direct dependencies before they get used by indirect dependencies.

There's no such thing as a blue water autonomous torpedo, there will always need to be a human-occupied platform to project power and manage military naval operations from.

This is without getting into the obvious problems of "lol how do you plan to control your USV? Pacific ocean spanning tether?"

As long as there are blue water navies, there will be military shipyards servicing them.
It's the LLM that needs the upfront specs, regardless of what you'd like, at this point. If that is the case, implement a nondestructive composable system, like node based visual editors - ComfyUI for example. Change the upfront specification "node" and let the LLM cascade through that and any attached nodes creating the code (or whatever) fresh each time.

I came here to recommend this.

In my 15 years of PC building this fan software tops them all. Huge amount of customisation and actually allows you to control fan speeds both under CPU OR GPU heavy loads at once.

I wonder how the finer issues of typesetting are handled with print CSS compared to dedicated typesetting software nowadays.

CSS is very compelling, but then based on my personal experience as print media designer the likes of InDesign are full of various special tricks (and language-specific, too) for alleviating white space corridors, handling hanging punctuation, hyphenation, etc. that the enterprise-level software tends to accumulate (due to the business model if nothing else).
Forced how?
I am not saying that there was not a breaking point but I say that Amiga had enough time and its demise was not inevitable. This was much before Doom. As it is say in the thread they could see themselves as a game console and market that. Nintendo Switch is worse than PS5 but they remain in the market and they started selling game cards. May be Commodore needed a Mario and a Donkey Kong. I think the three coprocessors in the Amiga were a breakthrough before intel included the FPU. This is why I return to the business execution part. And also Commodore was confronting Microsoft and Intel directly. I also felt that Commodore was a good replacement for the Mac, it has WYSIWYG word processor, 3D software, etc.

Totally different scales. A falcon 9 rocket weights in at 550 tons, and most of that is fuel and the rest can be broken down into small parts. The average cargo ship might be 50,000 tonnes, literally orders of magnitude larger, and none of the major parts are road-mobile. The logistics are just totally different. Space X also competes in a rocket industry that is maybe 60 years old. Shipping is a 1000+ year-old industry making it, again, a couple orders of magnitude more mature. One might even argue that commercial cargo ships have existed for two, three or even four thousand years. Pharaoh paid someone to ship those blocks down river for the pyramids.
The thing is, we didn't move on.

We hacked most of the advantages of anything newer back into them, in a haphazard way, and kept them because as a sibling pointed out, nowadays they are open. And openness is a very important feature. (It's just not why they were adopted, people cared so little about openness that Unix was born open and mostly closed up later.)
National security is my guess.

The inability to build ships at scale doesn't bode well during today's return to cold war / inter-war geopolitics.
I installed a new pool solar (water) heating system a few years ago. It's got electronic controls for when to send the water up based on temperature etc. It has an integrated cooling mode, which does exactly what you described. Not useful for my location but I've learned in more warm climates it can be quiet a problem.
I did, and it’s obvious if you read it that it says price fixing works. It is a lesson that becomes clear when you read the book cover to cover

Start with an insult, that will signal to others that you are intellectually superior without having to ever demonstrate an iota of actual economic reasoning.

If you want to know where bubbles came from, you should have just asked, its called monetary policy and is set by the federal reserve; sure, there was the great tulip mania of - no one gives a fuck it was a short lived commodity bubble that would look miniscule accounting for any amount of inflation you are willing to admit; today, the "bubble" is called debt, the purchasing power of your dollar must decrease, because the very existence of dollars necessarily implies there is a corresponding debt with interest, it turns out to that a pretty significant amount of the money being printed is being injected intravenously into the housing sector unlike the median wage, and you guys are always mystified that housing costs so much money, incentives matter.

If you want to regard this in a moral context, name your world religion and I will agree this second to obey their economic practices. There are many immoral philosphical ideas regarding economics that many regard as moral; religion is no exception, but I find that conceptually grounded in principles that have worked for thousands of years to keep people ethically bound despite ethnic differences and geographical seperation. There is far less to fear from islamic lending practices than whatever people "feel is right" in the heat of the moment.

Right.

The USA immigration hypocrisy is not new. On the one hand, outrage over the arrivals and on the other hand an inability to pay natives to take the jobs at the wages.

Other countries won't necessarily have the same history of overall immigration and demographic mixing, but the forces and incentives are roughly the same, so there may be a bit of a visible shift there.

It'll be places like South Korea and Japan where they need immigrants to do anything regardless of wage, because they won't have the native-born labor. As these are not traditional immigration destinations, this'll be interesting.

That should be the right take, if it had no other connotations.

For instance heart becoming ♡ is fine I think because we otherwise don't deal with raw hearts and they're only part of whole.

I guess it comes down to how much we care about butterflies, how often we see them, and how much we don't want them dead. I can see why people looking more at butterflies in their daily lives could be bothered, and also how that's probably a lost cause as 10x more people massively never leave cities.
