The internet is a global system that spans ~all jurisdictions, and most internet criminals live in jurisdictions that don't prosecute internet crimes as long as the bad actors leave citizens of their own country alone.

So they're criminals as far as the US and allies are concerned, but de facto not criminals where they live. If they're going to be locked out of the system, it has to be by the infrastructure, because their government has no interest in stopping them.
I would love something like this for my digital notes.

I think my problem with making something myself is finding a vector db that works on the AMD chip and Windows platform.
The concept of libraries, especially those that aren't large research libraries, has already shifted quite a bit. I almost never go down to my small town library to take out a book or read a magazine. Maybe a DVD now and then that catches my eye. Sometimes I discount museum passes. I could go to talks. Their e-book service isn't that compelling.

Other people probably have different behaviors. People I know with younger children in particular use local libraries for children's books quite a lot.

But libraries as a place you checkout books is almost certainly already on the decline. For me, the pirate sites aren't even competition. I only have limited time. I read a lot on the Internet. If there's some new book I want to read, I'll probably just buy it for my Kindle. (Obviously many people are much more price-sensitive but I wonder how many of them are using libraries today.)
When you send an envelope by Fedex, it usually flies in and out of Memphis that night. Somehow Fedex manages even though each plane has vastly more capacity than one envelope

Same will apply with Starship

SpaceX will be the biggest Starship customer for the foreseeable future (Starlink launches), so there’s already a critical mass of demand to support many flights
very funny, very educational too. im not sure what the qualification of the guy making battering rams and thermite self destruct devices is... perhaps some made up self taught thingi, who cares. it gets the job done. this is how education should be, irreverent and entertaining.
That's not your problem though. ;-)
I'm currently looking for a new job in development... should I be looking for an exit instead?
Those points are academically correct. In the real world you can end up with the query planner doing very boneheaded stuff that threatens to literally break your business when there's another approach that's fast it just seems to miss. In these cases hints would be a lot easier than the stuff you end up doing.
As another layperson with a background in finance, it always felt like the cosmological equivalent of making a Balance Sheet balance by plugging the difference in a model

I was thinking state-administered. Public school enrollment would just be the precondition to access the program.

But sure, yeah, there'd be some admin time spent managing it. As with anything, there are plenty of reasons not to do it. It struck me as a low cost-to-impact ratio thing that could get kids into tech, but reasonable minds could disagree.
Well, but it has been. Just indirectly. But we have only measured tons of things indirectly, so that's nothing special. Like what Earth's core is made of, or the fact that exoplanets exist, or that atomic nuclei are made of things called protons and neutrons, which in turns are made of things called quarks. Us humans are really biased towards giving a special importance to EM radiation, due to how important vision is to us, but that's just us. Nature does not care.

"Laypersons" just never seem to know anything about dark matter, including the shitload of evidence from several different types of observations that there's something there that can't be explained by just tweaking some equations. Of course that never stops them from having an opinion based on a total strawman.
Various types of hyper-scale or high-performance computing where incremental improvements in throughput, efficiency, latency, and resource utilization saves millions of dollars. Hardware companies are not where you go for this, though they do offer some limited micro-optimization support for the companies that do care about this kind of thing. You want to focus on companies that spend enormous amounts of money on compute infrastructure. The appetite to invest in compute efficiency waxes and wanes with the economy. If companies can get away with throwing money at a problem they will, but that can quickly become untenable.

A closely related area is slightly bending the scaling linearity curve on e.g. big multi-core servers or scale-out systems, so that it is possible to efficiently throw hardware at problems. However, this operates from a pretty different set of theoretical principles than classic performance optimization.

Two domains that have an almost unlimited appetite for improved performance and efficiency right now due to current bottlenecks are AI and sensor processing.
And thus demonstrated is the value of lots of different implementations of a spec. Already one hole found in the spec in just this article, and I'm sure there will be/were more.
Also the Czars of Russia. The Romanovs were descending from the niece of the last Byzantine Emperor (Sophia Palaiologina niece of Constantine XI).

So you are right that WWI can be argued to the real end of the Roman Empire!!!

One of these days I am going to a series on “When did the Roman Empire End?” Currently, I have at least 10 plausible dates/events. It turns out to be a very interesting overview of a lot of events and characters in Western History.
I just finished a 30 page system prompt to do the same thing. I did not use Docker though. I can’t wait to see what they have done in detail. I’m sure like 20% of the people here have tried this too, right?
I took my nephew to King Kong in 2005. There were a group of 5-6 teenagers sitting at the middle top of the theater who talked and laughed throughout the movie. In the final scenes where he had her at the top of the building, they started fake crying and I just lost my shit: I ran up to the top of the theater, falling twice on the stairs, got in the row in front of them and told them quietly but forcefully to just shut the hell up. I guess they could tell I was out of control and one of the girls starting yelling and goading me to hit her! Somebody in the audience told her to "shut the fuck up". I turned around in the seat and had to calm down before I strangled her.

After the movie people were complaining and I told them to ask for a refund, because I did and got one. They thanked me for finally saying something to those idiots. I don't think I went to the movie for 10 years after that horrible experience.
I am secretly hopeful Ladybird can take over the world some day. Don't tell anyone.
On the contrary, it does see those imports, and indicates that those dependencies are used, but are not direct dependencies in your dependency tree, and instead installed because other dependencies rely on them: https://fpgmaas.github.io/deptry/rules-violations/#transitiv...
Because all .com are already taken and available only after you pay ransom money.
It's bs.

It's well known that uncooked/undercooked morels can cause this. Food poisoning is not this rare thing that happened to hit this crummy place in Montana. It's non-news.
Queries are complex and the query planner is using heuristics that might just not fit your situation in some cases. The query planner is great for 99.99% of queries but a super small number of edge cases will need tuning at the same time.

Finding out what went wrong in the query plan by looking at optimizer traces is a lot of work. I did so recently and the trace alone was 317MB.
This is what Kasparov said about chess. He was wrong. The “centaur” phase lasted for a while but after a few years humans only make things worse. In fact that is the famous last words of humans in every area where computers have surpassed them.
Humans will likely be able to contribute until full AGI, that is. I believe that for pure cognitive tasks, it's plausible the history of centaur chess/Go might be repeated on a much grander scale.

A key requirement is the AGI will need the autonomy, like a human expert, to collect data and perform experiments it needs; but it seems several companies are set on doing precisely that.

My advice and personal strategy is to broaden one's scope beyond pure cognitive tasks.

"I don't know about chess, but in the similar game Go, the very best centaur teams were at a similar or maybe even slightly higher level than engines until recently. This was due to cheese strategies, details of the rulesets and better extrapolation of intermediate results.
However, this changed a few years ago, when engines learned many of the tricks that the human could contribute. Since then, I believe pure engines are stronger in all practical applications.

FedEx, huh. So what you're saying that SpaceX can now place my satellite into the wrong orbit using a gravity-boost flyby past Ganymede.
AGPS provided by the mobile carriers is sufficient. It is downloading the ephemeris that is slow, not getting the fix. That isn't considered Location Services.

You could test this by disabling WiFi, downloading AGPS from mobile, and then driving to place without service or putting in airplane mode. GPS fix will be fast cause ephemeris is good for days and corrections are small.
I’m upvoting this post simply for the amount of effort put into the article, I wish most articles were written with the same effort as this one. In saying that, I don’t think Thirl did anything wrong, Americans should take note and do as he and the other investors listed in this article do instead of trying to make them out like some type of villains.
Does this work with uv as well?
>> Firefox still uses MLS for `browser.region.network.url`; will that also move to Google Location Services?

Is that the latest rename of `geo.provider.network.url`? And if so, have they changed the json format again too? I set that manually on my desktop because Mozilla's regularly put me far away (and in a different legal jurisdiction).

It’s not just construction workers. Still safe to be a pro athlete and a short order cook, too!
I recall the Patriot Act was supposed to only apply to foreign terrorists.

But somehow law enforcement started using it on domestic targets.

Look at FISA 702, it again is supposed to target foreigners, but they use it as a way to snoop on Americans.

I fear this bill will be used the same way.
You sound like you’re being sarcastic, but if that’s what it takes to get a home invader away from my family safer, then that’s what I’ll do. I’ll roll the red carpet out for them and throw in a stack of $100 bills if that’s what it takes. Property can be replaced, lives can’t be.
"Goodwill"?
We considered this design and rejected it because it requires an ultimately unwinnable cat-and-mouse game of fingerprint resistance.

Things the log can use to partition the users include their Tor version, HTTP library behavior, contact periodicity... the list goes on and on, and keeps restricting the use cases where it can be deployed securely even just in theory.

Witness cosigning is secure even if the way you fetch the proofs is completely attacker-controlled, which is closer to user expectations of regular digital signatures.
That list can be changed. It is all semantics.
My wife and I are voracious readers, it would be a very expensive habit to have off we were buying everything for kindle. We are members of 2 local libraries with listings on overdrive/libby and rent the majority of our ebooks there.

I suppose it depends on your library’s offering and how many books you go through
At least 80% of all articles online are written by AI these days.

Yes, I wouldn't expect someone to pay a few thousand dollars to Nature when PubMed will do the same job for free. I think the role of academic journals is decreasing as open and tech-savvy solutions to information sharing and screening are being deployed.
But FedEx wouldn't send a massive jet out if your goal is to mail that envelope from Brownsville to Boca Chica (of all places).
When full reuse really gets going, it will be possible to launch the mass of a battleship into space for the cost of a single SLS launch.

You don't see this as having any effect on vehicle design? It's going to make the tradeoff between vehicle construction cost and vehicle launch cost very different. Spacecraft will become much more like ordinary tech than exotic aerospace devices, more like ships than aircraft.
They'd already done revolutions with this launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXiB-Kgqvdk

The latest one was more successful than the previous tests partly due to not revolving.
> I cannot understand when I mispronounce words. I get corrected often and repeat back the correction but it sounds like what I said the first time.

I have the exact same problem.

I had troubles learning pronunciations when I was a kid, but I never had other learning problems.

As an adult, I struggled enough with pronunciation that I consulted two hearing specialists to determine if there were any issues with my ears. It turns out my hearing is fine.

Is it possible for someone to get a diagnosis for dyslexic based on pronunciation problems only?

I must say I am relieved to finally find someone who shares my experience.
Another practical issue with this name is that it suggests a singular entity. 'Dark matter' could very well be the result of multiple independent phenomena.

It’s been estimated that around 50% of the comments on the internet are bots

That's just the sort of false misinformation being propagated through the internet and social media these days that makes it difficult for us as a society to properly assess and deal with our problems.

There is no way that only 50% of comments on the internet are sock puppets of one kind or another.
There’s about as much evidence for the existence of dark matter as we can possibly get, short of actually observing it.

In particular we’ve observed some galaxies that seem to have little to no dark matter. Gravitationally, they behave the way that you would “naively” predict without the need to plug in a correction term that represents dark matter. This indicates that there is something physically different about these galaxies (like an unobserved substance), and it points away from MOND-style theories.
It compared video footage to “sci fI”.
It's not a job, it's a course. Not everyone attending such a course is fluent bilingual.

But that's beside the point.

The original point we if the vast majority of the technical IT jargon is English anyway why do you also need to change them to German for a course or industry? Why not keep those words in English?
If a price per kg into significantly drops, wouldn't this incentive to design heavier payloads at a lower cost? This could boost the affordability of science done in space or even make in space manufacturing a bit more closer.
That exact machine is discussed in the article...
I think the lean startup method as described in the book doesn't work anymore. It works well at the beginning of a wave when things are unknown. Maybe with ai products it's still doable.

In saturated markets what works is marketing and branding. Basically occupying a different part of the mind as all other products. It's also very fun and exciting to do.

The biggest thing I learnt before turning my business and making it work is that most business education / videos out there are out of date.

The real trick to business and the only example of this is what I heard Paul Graham mentioned once in an interview: doing something naughty.

Amazon started off by cheating wholesale book dealers. Facebook started with mass scraping. LinkedIn started with mass spamming. Snapchat started for sexting. YouTube started with piracy.

Doing something naughty is what gives you the competitive edge.

This sounds like a good thing. If we had more laws like this, we likely wouldn't be in the current situation where national security is threatened by squabbles between China and Taiwan.
I love that this project keeps showing how possible it is for a small group to make something amazing. This would be very hard to do in a company with stakeholders.
Picking language using geolocation is kind of dumb, I hate when google does it and I have to put "&hl=en"into the URL somewhere, often twice before it'll stick.

Did everyone forget there's a standard for this? e.g. my browser sent a "Accept-Language en-US,en;q=0.5" header when it loaded this page.
I forgot to mention. I don’t need GUI. Just SSH.
As I see it, the issue with using tables for layout is that they made it difficult for humans to maintain and iterate over time, but I don't have a problem with an LLM working at that level. Equivalently, I don't care that the machine code that my system gets compiled into is full of GOTOs if I don't ever need to concern myself with that level.
It’s too bad the piece doesn’t have any reactions from other physicists. Is this a pretty speculative idea in the field or closer to the mainstream?

> The affected domains represent a big loss for Cloudflare, with .tk, .cf and .gq previously accounting for 23.1% of all domains hosted on its platform – and nearly all of these have now gone.

I'm not sure in what way this is a "loss". I doubt cloudflare is losing money (or revenue) here. Especially if many of these domains are spammy, it seems like this is probably not much of anything for them.
I didn't say anything about fingerprint resistance. I answered a question about what the good one is. It's good for other reasons.
I personally have found that ChatGPT is great to bounce ideas and concepts off of. If I’m unfamiliar with something or I’m trying to learn a new skill or get a second opinion on some design or architecture details, it’s very helpful in that regard.

When it comes to pure code, ChatGPT will deceive you. I’m at the point now where I’m very hesitant to copy and paste ChatGPT code. I’ll have to completely vet it first, or it’ll have to literally just be a line or two. And even then I’ll likely have to refactor it. ChatGPT is just wrong too often when it comes to the actual code either due to lack of context about the problem or just downright hallucinations. It’s even gotten some boilerplate wrong.

When it comes to Copilot, I honestly haven’t been able to quantify how beneficial it’s been for me. I’ve often had to delete or modify its code. I think it could partially be because I’m not as skilled with it. It could also be that I’ve just had to write a lot of JS lately, and there’s probably a ton of bad JS that it’s been trained on. I remember being more impressed with it when I write Rust. But I’m also new with Rust. I need to try it with something like C#, which has more difficultly than JS but I’m also proficient with it.

All in all, AI tools for me have been just that, tools I can use to help me get the job done.
My understanding (I watch in English, after all) is that for them, the dubbing actor is actually an important part of the character.

As another layperson, I understand it as the physics equivalent of solving for x, but far less trivial. We figure it must exist because it's a missing puzzle piece in the mathematics that accurately predicts everything else. This is reinforced by observations of indirect effects that aren't accounted for in the current math.
Yes. Many of them. A lot of them are retiring now, but I know plenty of younger DBAs coming in without any other programming experience and in many cases, no desire to learn.

Geoclue uses MLS and provides location not just on desktops and laptops, but also on phones; and uploading data is (well, was now) one toggle away from being enabled in its config.

MLS is also used by microG, also on phones.
Cloudflare's business model is largely reliant on the internet being filled with abuse.
Ive posted it before, but i once learned way more than i ever wanted to know about time, specifically time regarding computers, all to answer a question from the business side of "well why cant we have nanosecond time matching across 10+ systems", and the reason is, because its really really hard and really expensive. This wasnt for science either, it was for VR, making the request even more ridiculous, and putting me in an even deeper hole, finding out the minimum response time of the human brain and eyes. I could talk a lot about it, but most peoples eyes glaze over about 30 seconds in

Your source is specific to Heathrow Airport which is a much smaller scale than the entire aviation system; and an "emergency landing" doesn't always mean a catastrophic failure.

Thank you for the thoughtful response! I have actually read Extreme Ownership. I agreed with most of it, although one thing I started noticing is what I'd call "fake ownership". Once people realize the value of ownership, they try to game the system and use those tools to manipulate. Boeing CEO's response to the latest disaster comes to mind. He claims "this is our fault, we'll fix it". But it's hard to take it at face value when you know the story. I guess like most aspects of human behavior, there's an element of earnesty that needs to be present.

Have you read any of the books on rickover? I can find three:

1. Rickover and the Nuclear Navy

2. The Rickover Effect: How One Man Made a Difference

3. Nuclear Navy, 1946-1962

Would love to know if you have a recommendation or anything else on rickover you'd recommend reading. This guy seems worth studying
I'm sure some of that happens. But generationally (and what's happened with vinyl notwithstanding) I have to believe that large bulging bookshelves in homes will become less common than in the past. Especially to the degree that more people may be inclined to live in smaller urban apartments.
