That explains why I got this email from my broadband provider this morning:

>We've increased your internet speeds to show you our appreciation

I was wondering what I'd done to deserve it!
Oh I have usually more than one internal monologues going on, but I also think LLMs are just Markov chains with more infrastructure and way over-hyped (because I can reason this)
When the news of the breakage first spread I hacked together a fun shell alias to take the current distance of v1 or V2, calculate out the roundtrip signal time, then inject a sleep() before your command ran.

The idea of troubleshooting a computer system with that sort of delay must make them incredibly creative.
Yeah that makes sense, I feel stupid now.
It's hard to tell if one does or doesn't have an inner monologue/dialog.

It's the standard "is the color I call 'yellow' the same yellow color that you call 'yellow'?" question.

We have no frame of reference for what an inner monologue is really like for other people.

How many gradations are there? 0 = none, 1000 = max (I can hear my voice in my head as clearly and cogently as you can hear my voice when I'm explaining something to you?)

0 = none, 3 = max, and almost all humans are either a 0, 1, 2 or 3?

Until we get neuralink's descendent implanted and can share each other's consciousness, we won't know for sure. And probably not even then.
That's actually PascalCase, which I like better than camelCase and snake_case.
Plywood is amazingly structurally sound, because it's got grain going all which ways.

Especially when thin, wood is surprisingly easy to break, and it doesn't handle being pulled on very well at all.
"the standard library is good enough and has better support in the long run"
Those sites are so ad infested, I am amazed they offer dumps to get the content. Now I am similarly interested in pursuing this idea, but possibly with the exact same amount of tolerance for pain that you have reported.
AI systems are the new oracles of Delphi. But maybe some questions are better kept for human interactions.
Related, proofpoint is notorious for this as well. They will block your mail server without cause, forcing you through their process of delisting.

Pay and your problems magically go away. Proofpoint was consistently the only block hit.
What I saw first hand: when someone really good is trying to help others there are usually 2 ways this can happen:

- they try their best, they need help, they ask for help, they get it

- they don't put any effort, they go to the expert with the most idiotic questions waiting for solutions to be served. The expert runs out of patience, becomes grumpy with these people

So the experts are not jerks. They are short on patience with super-lazy, super-incompetent people that waste their time.
Those all sound like incremental technology advances to me that have yet to deliver any real advances in capabilities. Which is nice - don't get me wrong - but not exactly worth rolling out the aircraft carrier for.
I'm not sure how you get from 'the Canadian government must respect the treaties that it signed' to 'identity-based solutions.'
Why you think they traded their moral code?

People are working for evil companies like Facebook or Purdue Pharma without moral issues.

Job is just a job, people needs money...

I wonder if a more workable arrangement would stipulate that indigenous people are exempt from these regulations only when the work and management of a project is also designed and implemented by Indigenous people.

That would seemingly circumvent this loophole where a large, private corporation run by white canadians effectively uses the indigenous people as a loophole, cutting them in to circumvent regulations.

Wouldn't really help e.g. overfishing issues but seems directionally better.

> nobody’s going underneath the sofas at Crate and Barrel to see how they’re constructed.

I also don't really know what to look for. Most people don't.

In the past you could more or less rely on the store being somewhat reliable and somewhat trustworthy. I say "somewhat" because of course you wouldn't fully trust a salesman, but by and large: you could more or less trust that something was "quality" if it was advertised as such, and/or more expensive and the cheaper options, usually. You didn't need to have a Ph.D. in sofa construction to buy a decent sofa.

Now it's best to assume everything is a lie. Everyone is lying to your face, or just don't know what the they're talking about. Even expensive items marketed as "quality" cannot be relied on being quality at all.

Once upon a time a sofa was a product sold on the market because some people needed sofas, and some people and/or companies knew how to make them. "A fair product for a fair market-conform price". Classic capitalism and free-market economics where everyone wins.

But now it no longer matters if people need sofas, or whether anyone actually gets anything remote to a "fair deal", or any externalities like climate change, or if kids in Vietnam are being exploited. Burn the world, as long as I can sell my crummy sofa, because "free market allows it" is the only logical and moral argument that exists for some people. A sofa is no longer a product; it's just the means to making a profit. There's a subtle difference between to two.

All of this is part of "the financialisation of everything" and "toxic capitalism" that's been going on since the 80s.
A few seconds worth of work reveals how false this is. Perhaps it's just that you find one type of merchandise offensive but find the other type pleasant. Perhaps this open bias is coloring your perceptions?
https://saddlebackleather.com/everyday-purse/ is a bit over $200, and doesn't hide that it's made in Mexico (though they do use machines and tooling to process the leather so perhaps it's not "hand made").
Thank you for the feedback. I 100% agree and will look at adding something along those lines in the next update.

I was initially under the impression that people in other tech ecosystems may not even consider the AirPods for exactly that reason, but now that I think about it, people not familiar with certain Apple products may not know about the lack of compatibility in the first place.

Super valid and useful bit of feedback, so thank you so much for sharing your perspective .
The amount of "phoning home" is not correlated to how bad an app is for the user's privacy.
This isn't about treaties – BC signed very few treaties, unlike other provinces. The rights to fish come from a couple of very vague paragraphs in the constitution and the royal proclamation. They are very much free to interpretation, and the courts have been re-interpreting them for decades to match the contemporary social attitudes.

For example, does the constitution guarantee the indigenous people the right to subsistence fishing with traditional methods, or to large scale commercial fishing unlimited by any Canadian regulations, or something in between? None of that is defined in the constitution, it's all up for interpretation.

And this isn't about fishing either. No one's chanting #fishback around here, it's all #landback. 90%+ of BC land is currently public land that all Canadians are free to enjoy. Whether it stays public, or whether it is entirely privatized based on race, like the activists want, is a much bigger issue than who gets to overfish.
Survivorship bias. The cheap stuff doesn't last. "Take from the dresser of deal, Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet..." - Wallace Stevens, 1922. "Deal" being cheap pine or other soft heartwood (in the poem he is trying to evoke a scene of poverty and maybe a bit of gaudiness). Not that buying old can't be an excellent strategy, it having survived either a long life, or perhaps it was just never used in which case all bets are off.
YMMV also includes adjusting for today's $. My $300 is today's $1k. So it still stands
Father Logan was great. He smoked cigarettes, drank beer, and drove a Camaro.
There’s a reasonable practical difference between 25Mbit/sec and 100; in particular, 25 isn’t _really_ good enough for 4K streaming.

_Today_, most consumers aren’t going to be that bothered between the difference between 100 and 1000. But that’s today; the sensible telecoms regulator thinks on a longer scale, because otherwise they just have to revisit the whole thing in a decade.

In Ireland we’re on our third try; the first saw a lot of subsidised satellite and fixed wireless in rural areas, the second, better fixed wireless (a minimum latency requirement killed off the satellite option), and FTTC; in the third, they do seem to have finally decided to stop screwing about, and are rolling out FTTH in otherwise-poorly-served rural areas.

(From a practical point of view, I do get that a state rural fibre wholesaler probably would not fly politically in the US, but this approach of repeatedly easing the minimum standard up is ultimately kinda wasteful.)
Our goal in these design decisions is to make DBOS look familiar to developers by supporting one of the most popular stacks right now, building an application with TypeScript and SQL on top of Postgres. Under the hood of our cloud platform (mostly Go + SQL), we're building on ideas from the academic project to provide new features like reliable execution/time travel, but like a good OS, we want to hide that complexity from users.
A potential corollary: As soon is gets practical, it also stops looking like a robot.

Once you know how many degrees of freedom are truly needed to solve a problem, you start removing unnecessary parts in the design to lower cost and assembly complexity.

Thus, once your cool new C-3PO has perfected the art of making toast, it's only a matter of time until you re-engineer it into looking like a toaster.
Monkey head mushrooms work really well as a texture replacement for chicken, and cooked unripe jackfruits work really well as a texture replacement for pulled pork. I'm vegetarian and make use of both.

Unfortunately they both sorely lack in protein content, so for a meal to be balanced, the protein needs to be made up through other parts of a dish. I'm slightly skeptical about how much protein the fungi in TFA produce.
Coach is probably a bad example here because they are known for using high quality leather, and they are also among the less expensive "designer" brands (there are Coach leather purses in the $200-500 range, wheras you are looking at $2000-5000 for a brand like Louis Vuitton - also high quality leather, but not worlds apart from Coach). There is a huge amount of variability in quality of leather, from top grain to full grain to split grain, to "genuine" and "bonded."

In general though I agree with your point that it's possible to get the same quality as a luxury brand for cheaper, and luxury brands are about signalling, but it's a continuum. There are also plenty of "luxury" bag brands in the $200-500 range that use crummy leather and you'd be way better off with Coach (or a local artisan like you mentioned.)

About increased mortality in EU there are stats here: https://euromomo.eu

In the US, there's recent case law where the answer seems to be closer to yes than no - but applied to tribal members. The case was McGirt v. Oklahoma, which the Supreme Court decided in 2020:
https://ballotpedia.org/McGirt_v._Oklahoma , https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/08/29/three-years-after-la...

Summary from the Ballotpedia page: "The court reversed the OCCA's decision in a 5-4 ruling, holding that under the Indian Major Crimes Act, lands reserved for the Creek Nation in eastern Oklahoma constituted Indian Country. As a result, the state of Oklahoma could not legally try a Creek citizen for criminal conduct in state court.[1] Justice Gorsuch delivered the majority opinion. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Thomas each filed dissenting opinions."
I was just thinking today that the case style is the only thing I continue to find objectionable on a day-to-day basis after a decade of writing/reading Go.

I've fantasized about the idea of a future `go fmt` version rewriting all the code which seems possible if somewhat impractical.
Some brands like Hermes, Rolex, etc. also require you to establish a “relationship” with them to acquire their most popular items (Birkin or Kelly bags, stainless steel watches). This entails a lengthy purchase history, and some schmoozing of your assigned sales associate doesn’t hurt either. Unless you’re some well known figure, just waltzing into a boutique with a suitcase full of cash won’t get you what you want to buy on your first visit.

Other brands are catching on. I hear Porsche (or at least some dealerships) have started gatekeeping 911s this way.
Your data is sitting in an unencrypted excel spreadsheet somewhere as it moves between entities. Good luck.

Your best bet is what the government minister mentioned elsewhere in this thread did. Generate noise. So much noise that none of your "PII" is even remotely accurate.

You can't hide, but you can paint an incredibly inaccurate picture.

If you’re living in a well developed country with strong privacy laws, you might have a point. But most of the people in the world don’t, and in many places simply looking at LGBT communities can land you in jail.

Then there’s places like the U.S. with multiple states currently doing their level best to criminalise so much as thinking about an abortion. I don’t see why those states would be above scanning people’s clear text browsing habits to any signs of a possible abortion, and using it as evidence of an illegal abortion having been committed or about to be committed. They’ve certainly jailed women for less (even while pregnant).

Just because you’re among a group of people that is lucky enough to have no worries about being oppressed, or discriminated against, doesn’t mean everyone has that luxury. Encryption is good for everyone, I don’t anyone being able to easily know what I do online, because I have no idea who those people, or what their motives might be, and quite frankly I don’t care. I just don’t want them rummaging around in my life looking for opportunities to exploit me or others.
Why care about scaling cheaply before you have success. But my advice would be a lambdalith. Get Django, dotnetcore minimal api, fastapi, node.js or laravel, deploy it on lambda with a wrapper for free and if you scale up to the point lambda is too expensive, docker it into a vps.

You can and should challenge the map then. The FCC actually has a means to do that and does respond. Ideally get an email follow up stating speeds, frontier has a habit of refusing to create a paper trail.

I'd be quite happy with 5 visitors a day (if they're real, and not bots)!
Ultimately though, i still think the existing system works well here.

Wikipedia wants to be a specific thing with a specific scope. Where that line should be is debatable, but it will eventually be drawn somewhere. No matter where you draw it, someone will be on the other side of it.

However, mediawiki is open source. The licenses of content are cc-by-sa (similar to gpl). You can start your own wiki. Similarly licensed content can be moved back and forth if rules change.

Perhaps this is just manual "federation" in a sense, but the ecosystem supports it. I persinally believe this is one of the reasons why mediawiki as an open source project should be a core part of Wikimedia's mission.
100 microwatts isn’t much.

I’m curious how long other comparable batteries would last if you were only drawing 100 microwatts from them. I’m curious what you could run on that little power.

But I guess something a bit larger could probably be batteries in a smoke alarm, or other home security sensors? Idk how much power those draw but if it’s just making a WiFi ping sporadically it probably isnt much.

My parents to this day still don't have real broadband access. The best they can get is a bad 4G signal to their rural area. Even Starlink only has speeds of 40mbs in their area. They only live about a mile from a fiber line, but AT&T won't run it over because it would only service maybe 10-15 homes, and there are no cable lines. I think this is more common than people think.
Really cool work. I'm still slightly paranoid about the overhead of leaving tracing enabled all the time but if it really is 1-2% that'd be totally worth it in many cases.

More awesome work from the Go team. Thanks!

Haha, I'm one of the authors, although most of the credit goes to the other author (David Fouhey). Despite being in the form of a joke, this sheet is actually functional, for anyone wondering. Like the one in this post, it's inference only, but for a CNN instead of a transformer. I think someone actually made an excel CNN with backpropagation as well.
Same. It was so heavy compared to catch-22. But I am not sure the aging perspective could have been written any different.
And latency under load is an even more important measure.
I'm not saying it's always a bad idea, you just need to think about what you're doing. This was closer to 15 years ago now. We had to develop a bunch of our own tooling, and make our own modifications to frameworks that are now ancient history.

I'm pretty certain that the other side of your political leaning would say the same thing about your party.

Ask anyone about there political merchandise and they will never see it as just "merch" but as a fundamental truth that is pivotal to there way of life they they feel is being threatened. It's much like calling someone's religious garments or iconography just merchandise and is a very closed minded point of view.
The only thing personally I want is the same upload speed as download. So I can connect to my home server and download/upload stuff from it.
Generously, if you work 2000 hrs/year, that's less than 25% of a year's total hours, so it's only 2 hrs of work downtime on average. If you need better connectivity than that, you should pay for a higher SLA or make sure you can tether a cell connection or something.
There's an idea for another holodeck mishap episode right there.

The ship's replicators start spitting out PacMan ghosts which quickly overrun the passageways ala Tribbles, in the end it turns out Ensign Crusher attempted to pipe his holodeck game to PRN and the Ship's computer mistook that as a command to begin (3d) printing.

Firstly, I have read in the past that mushrooms must be boiled before eating to remove toxins. Is this true for the subject of the article, aspergillus oryzae?

Secondly, I have heard that mushrooms are relatively poor for nutritional content, excepting B vitamins. Will there be an enormous amount of nutrition to add to make this viable?

Proof for first point: "Even the cultivated A. bisporus contains small amounts of hydrazines, the most abundant of which is agaritine (a mycotoxin and carcinogen). However, the hydrazines are destroyed by moderate heat when cooking."

Proof for second point: "Riboflavin (B2) 42% 0.5 mg, Pantothenic acid (B5) 30% 1.5 mg" - all other parameters on the wiki under 20%.

I have bought things online and been burned by the not know the who part. I'm now to the point that if it is anything I will be spending a lot of time on, I'm not buying it unless I can see it in person. One vendor's medium firmness might be another's firm. Other furniture is less critical to me, so I haven't put the in-person only rule for that stuff
Whatever we did with WireGuard, Tailscale did it better first. :)
You simply keep applying force until the opposition fails. Structural demographics don’t hurt either [1] (perpetual labor shortages empowers labor [2]). You must start somewhere to anchor [3]; this bill is that anchor. You then pull with policy through a proverbial ratchet as politics and the zeitgeist allows (like entitlements, once the work week is reduced, it will be very hard, if not impossible, to go back).

Mitch McConnell is retiring and the Affordable Care Act remains in place [4] [5], and the Inflation Reduction Act was passed. Good policy can both get done and be locked in. Time is the variable.

I've done my own preliminary patent searches to see what is out there. I've had multiple ideas that were not on the market but turned out to be patented. There are tutorials on how to do them.
It’s less a hardware problem and more a medium problem; to go over 100Mbit/sec reliably you’re realistically looking at fibre (or maybe coax, but coax isn’t particularly cost-effective or practical in the rural areas that tend to have problems in this direction.)
It's unlikely that they would want to out themselves and put a massive target on their back.
