> The notification included a copy of the subpoena, which warned X not to tell Clancy of its existence. "You are not to disclose or notify any customer or third party of the existence of this subpoena or that records were provided pursuant to this subpoena," the document read.

> But X, following its own corporate policy, told Clancy anyway, and suggested he might want to get some legal representation to fight the subpoena, recommending the American Civil Liberties Union.

I too was surprised by this!

When the police dept wrote: "You are not to disclose or notify any customer..." is that a legal demand backed by law, or simply a request? I wish I knew more. I suspect it is a request, and that is why Twitter would ignore it. I am sure that Twitter has very conservative internal and external legal counsel to advise on these matters. Plus, there must be many, many of these requests from NYPD.

Just learned about Bluesky’s labelling approach. The first thing comes to mind is who is responsible for the content on the platform - Bluesky? Labellers?

For example, some rouge user starts posting offensive content about other users, on the brink of breaking the law. Let’s say these other users will mention it to labellers, who this time will refuse to take this content down.

Can you tell me what will happen in such scenario?
Thanks, nice strawman tho

Good faith questions incoming:

Isn’t the title misrepresenting? The actual name of the bill is “ H.R.7521 - Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.” Also, the word ban is no where to be found in the document.

Second, from my reading this is about divestiture? This is not about a blanket ban.

The US already imposes foreign ownership limits (20%) on broadcast TV and radio. It is therefore pretty reasonable (to me) to impose limits on foreign ownership of social media sites.

The courts have not "interpreted" qualified immunity to mean something. The Supreme Court in 1967 created qualified immunity out of nowhere to defend obviously racist cops in Mississippi. Specifically, they created it to put an end to people using Third Ku Klux Klan Act (Rights Act of 1871) to sue racist cops. This is part of a long history of preventing people from using Reconstruction Era laws to gain any meaningful civil rights.

They did so by saying that 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (which was passed by Grant to fight the KKK) which was meant to allow people to sue for civil rights violations clearly intends to provide an exception for police officers if they acted in good faith (whatever that means; given that good faith here means enforcing a racist law often with extreme violence). But there's absolutely nothing in the actual law, the text passed by Congress or in the intent of Congress, that supports this reading. You can read the Section 1983 yourself:

> Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.

A "judicial officer" by the way is a member of the court / judicial branch, not a police officer.

Because there's no law, qualified immunity is a total mess. Different courts and judges apply it very differently. For some it's simply a blanket defense for essentially any acts.

Ironically, Scalia and Thomas have both written dissents on the other side from the liberal judges at times, pointing out that there is literally no basis in law for qualified immunity and the Court should just drop it entirely.

This isn't just a matter of adjusting the law to clarify the interpretation of Section 1983, although that would help. It also requires a long-term realignment of the Supreme Court who shouldn't be able to wholesale write laws this way. That's not me saying this, that's Scalia in Crawford-El v. Britton "[the Supreme Court] find[s] [itself] engaged...in the essentially legislative activity of crafting a sensible scheme of qualified immunities for the statute we have invented—rather than applying the common law embodied in the statute that Congress wrote".

Feels more likely this is the opposite - the "originals" look like hallucinations.. what is the rear suspension attached to on this "bmw"[0]? Presumably it's supposed to be an R60[1]. It magically has a lot more (accurate) parts in the colouring page[2] (bigger front and back fender, seat, engine gets fins, frame changed shape, tail has license plate holder and signals, the front brake is connected to the leaver via a cable). At least these six fingered people[3] deserve each other - shame she moved her wedding ring, Inigo Montoya seeks them.

I'm sure it's mostly FUD.

I had an Audi A1. Back to Japanese cars now. Never getting an Audi again. Instead of happily working like a car is supposed to, something always broke, it was difficult and expensive to service. The mechanic told me: "this type of engine comes rattling from the factory". While it worked, it worked great, but then an oil indicator would appear, a taillight would randomly flash. Also, the newer Q5 diesels eat oil like there's no tomorrow, you have to fill a liter every 1000 kms, along with diesel and adblue. That's three automotive fluids that you need to fill in regularly. I just hope they get banned sooner rather than later.

We won't buy Nissans though. They're just more expensive and annoying Renaults. Also if one wants a cheaper utilitarian vehicle, French cars have gotten better, to the point it makes no sense to buy a more expensive German brand. I used to dismiss Renault but after renting a Clio and seeing how well it handles and how much it costs, I've changed my mind. The soundproofing was crap though, but I couldn't care less since the rest of the car was very erogomonic, had useful sat nav, rear camera, was not underpowered even with the low capacity entry level engine and it handled very well both in the city and on the highway.

Also Alfa Romeos. What's even the point of buying a BMW as long as Alfa exists? They basically have 3 models, as opposed to 10+? A sports sedan and two SUVs. It's got the looks and the horsepower, all leather inside. It's just as reliable if not even more mostly because BMW is no longer a hallmark of reliability, quite the opposite. If that's not enough, there's always Maserati. And if one wants an EV then buy a Tesla instead. The others are playing catch up anyway, with no longer a chance in sight to actually rival Tesla or even the more upmarket Chinese manufactureres like BYD or Nio.
I don't think defining the size of a market based on how many companies are in it is a very useful metric. If you kept reading your investopedia snippet, you would see that "The airplane manufacturing market is part of the overall airline industry". So saying that "there are only two companies in the industry" is incredibly disingenuous, there are thousands of companies involved in commercial passenger flight.

Btw, people bragging about having lots of common sense are usually the ones that have the least of it.

CNCF Sandbox: Know Before You Submit
This makes no sense. If I have 1000 predictions and vary my estimates from 0-10%, that’s only 100 samples assuming you round to the nearest whole percent. And there’s no correlation between any of those samples. For example, I could say the probability of a lightning storm tomorrow is 1% and the probability of a war with China in the next year is 1% - calibrating amount those 1% events is clearly non sensical. You could try to calibrate among similar events but then you have no way of estimating that a 10% war between US and China vs a 1% of war between Russia and China.

Basically this is an exercise of garbage in and garbage out.
Those last three brands ... are they sold in the US?

Historically, Chinese cars have performed poorly on crash test. Google: chinese car safety zero star

Is the Mandelbrot set computable? (2023)
It might be worth trying, but essentially what you're trying to do is cost/load sharing on the aggregation system. You could do that by computing indexes and sharing them around, to reduce some amount of required compute, and I suspect we'll be doing things like that. (For example, having the precomputed follow graph index as a separate dataset.) However if you're trying to replace the full operational system, I think the only kind of load sharing that could work would require federated queries, which I consider a pretty unproven concept.
It's far more likely that in a few decades the entire car will be a per-mile subscription.

But you are right, the EU should be much more unified and consistent. Also, have their own army that they could send into Ukraine to put Russians back where they belong.

I get what you mean about the broker app. App store searches are bullshit.
Very similar to my experience.

You are not a big fan of the EU after this? They seem to care more about privacy and rights of the people within the majority of the countries that make up the EU then any other outside country that I could name.

Then again, I'm not American so I can easily see the influence your country has on most other countries, so to say the "EU have enormous capacity for overreach at the expense of participating countries and their citizens" is completely ignorant and oblivious.

VLC is a good player but it's pretty rough around the edges. Unfortunately, it doesn't see much development these days.

The UI needs work in both the PC and mobile versions. Both versions need a better, finer granular way of selecting a point in a video then stop-framing it and or replaying short sections such as the replay of a ballgame catch.

The PC version's options settings is indescribably obscure and complicated and needs to be rewritten/redesigned, also a help/explanation section should be included.

The PC version's video adjustments (brightness, gamma, contrast, sharpness) are notoriously course and there is no reset-to-default setting. In fact, each adjustment should be able to be reset individually. This section of the code needs a rewrite. The problem with this adjustment section has been there for years. Moreover, the mobile version doesn't even have this adjustment feature, in fact it has very few adjustments and there is no way of forcing the time/duration bar indicator to stay on which is a real pain (in fact the ergonomics of the mobile version are quite horrible).

VLC doesn't play midi files and some video codecs are jerky and the interlace adjustments, both manual and automatic, are suboptimal. There are many other issues but it would take a detailed essay to list them all.

On evidence, Kyle's Blog paints an overly rosy picture of VLC which doesn't exist in practice. It's probably the best independent media player around but both versions need a lot of fine tuning work.

I'd like to know why the development on VLC has essentially crawled to a stop.

I get your point, I am just saying that it is not universally true, even if my example is a stretched one (Cyrillic keyboard users always configure Latin-based layouts too, but it's not a default, and it's easy to forget esp if you install from a fully live env configured with both).

If it's still not clear, you can end up on a login screen with an ASCII password you can't type in, especially so without the GUI.

That doesn't say much. The industry was in utter infancy. How much do you think it cost to move Ethernet from 100Mbit/sec to 1GBbit/sec to 10GB to 100GB to 400GB to 800GB? At least one or two orders of magnitude.

How about the cost to build a fab for the Intel 8088 versus a fab that produces 5nm chips running @ 5GHz. Again, at least one or two orders of magnitude.
Is this specific to machine learning ? I feel industry is slowly eliminating ML research scientist positions and transitioning to engineering only off late.
