It is intellectually dishonest to call the military-industrial complex merely "customers that some Google employees didn't like".

Humans are more than their companies' mission, and your freedom to exercise your political views on how companies should be run inherently relies on this principle, too. So your argument is fundamentally a hypocrites projection.
As I understand it warrant canaries are controversial in the legal community or at least were last I looked. Some of the questions you are exactly what they've asked. I don't know if any of the theories have been properly tested in courts yet.

I'd be extremely skeptical of anything you read in this thread about contentious signing, dates or whateever. There are a lot of amateur lawyers with amateur opinions in here. If you are interested in ever using one, find a lawyer and check with them first.

But whatever the legal consensus is, I doubt a git commit that says "NSA wuz here" fits in with it.

What a thing to just state as fact with confidence, this is like older individuals lamenting how nobody wants to work anymore. It must just feel good to say?
Most people affected by economic and social problems do not resort to theft to solve their problems. In fact, they are probably far more likely to be a victim - either directly out of sheer proximity or indirectly as stores close and opportunities fade away due to all the theft being allowed in their community.
They violated NATO airspace a lot with their "Bear" nuclear-capable bombers until very recently. Not sure if it's still happening. It was so frequent that it didn't make the news every time.
I think the fact that people sometimes use the letter g to denote generalized intelligence might be useful here.

You could call them gPUs.

No one would be buying A100's if CUDA hadn't been supported on all desktop Nvidia cards for years. Desktop cards provide an accessible on ramp to the ecosystem. PhD grads with boxes of desktop cards turn into the purchasers of data center chips.

There's a huge amount of help needed in AI/ML in non-researcher roles (infrastructure, pipelines, testing, etc). I'd say that the bulk of AI/ML orgs are actually just that, in my experience.

(I'd further argue that the number of actual "AI researchers" that actually contribute enough to justify their mega-million comp packages is small indeed... but that's a separate topic)

One simple thing can be such a major productivity blocker as to be a deal-breaker in practice.

And the situation where you have to choose between several options that all suck, and use the one that you hate the least, is exactly the one I'd rather avoid, but also the one that seems to most accurately describe the current state of software - precisely because of increasing lack of customizability and outright hostility to it.

A rebalance means that every file on the filesystem will be rewritten.

This is drastic, and I'd rather perform such an operation on an image copy.

This is one case where ZFS is absolutely superior; if a drive goes offline, and is returned to a set at a later date, the resilver only touches the changed/needed blocks. Btrfs forces the entire filesystem to be rewritten in a rebalance, which is much more drastic.

I am very willing to allow ZFS mirrors to be degraded; I would never, ever let this happen to btrfs if at all avoidable.
Writing to a corrupted filesystem by default is bad design. The corruption could be caused by a hardware problem that is exacerbated by further writes, leading to additional data loss.
What are you comparing to? Windows has worked that way for 30 years (Start menu) and most users seem to figure it out fine. So do smartphones (home button). macOS is the only prominent example I can think of which shows icons of closed apps on the screen at all times by default.
> The US has the longest commutes of any country in the world

I lived in Mumbai starting 7:30 in morning I reach office by 10AM after changing buses and trains. Leave office at 6:30 -7 in evening and hit home by ~10 pm. And even those days I worked in IT so not exactly among poor who have to live far away.

Claiming US commute being longest is just ignoring how billions outside North America/Europe lives.

The article found at the URL submitted by OP ( https://plantbasednews.org/news/science/fermented-foods-huma... ) seems like classic blogspam, i.e. regurgitation, of this Harvard Gazette article:

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/02/did-fermented...

IMHO HN staff should, as the often do in such cases, update the OP link to point to the Harvard Gazette article.

As for the questioned passage, it appears to originate from the author of the Harvard Gazette article, reading there:

"This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the human large intestine is proportionally smaller than those of other primates, suggesting that we adapted to food that was already broken down by the chemical process of fermentation."

Thankfully, the perspective study itself appears open access:

.https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-05517-3

And we can thus check it for addressing the meat consumption hypothesis, and indeed, we find:

"[…]

A smaller colon may reflect a reduction of dependence on fibrous plant material, given that a major function of the colon is to house bacteria that aid in the breakdown of enzyme-resistant carbohydrates to SCFAs. Did a shift to meat-eating, as suggested by Milton, permit this drastic reduction in colon size in the human lineage? Indeed, humans and members of the order Carnivora share a small colon size. However, the gut transit time in Carnivora is much faster than in humans. Although Milton postulates that this difference is due to our evolutionary history as plant eaters96, another explanation is that colon reduction follows from a reduced need to break down fibrous plant material within the digestive tract due increased bioavailability of nutrients before food is consumed—i.e., external fermentation (Fig. 1).

[…]"

As for the affiliations:

I can't find much on the obvious outlier among the author list, albeit I didn't check for very long, only an old interview here which appears partially misleading NOT due to content but due to what seem like incorrect social media references:

https://voyageatl.com/interview/meet-matthew-bagshaw-christi...

And an archive of their website:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190122012150/https://www.hungr...

The work breakdown given at the end of the paper in the contributions section looks like the following:

"K.L.B. and E.E.H. conceived the paper, K.L.B. and E.E.H. compiled data and analysis, K.L.B., E.E.H., and C.H. wrote the manuscript, with E.E.H. focusing on metabolic and nutrition components, E.E.H. on human evolution components, and K.L.B. on fermentation and culture components. All authors contributed to the final editing process."

Hope that clears things up for people arriving later to the comments section, and perhaps offers further avenues for exploration, albeit I'd advise caution as to avoid accidentally creating a tempest in a teapot
Maximizing a Window. I had to google how to do it.
> 30 homes might approximate something like 60 cars and 60 children.

> Now instead of 30 homes, you have 20 + 10*4 = 60 homes.

Not building the houses doesn't make the people go away. What ends up happening is they have to commute in from somewhere else, and

> the road leading out your development had to accommodate 50 cars in the morning commute, now it has to handle more than 100

happens in a different road.

(sure, in the long run people learn not to have children in the West because living space is scarce, and your "doubled the amount of school children" problem goes away)
I completely agree. But somehow, I can't shake off the feeling that the unbelievable complexity in all things tax-related (and I include social programs therein) is a feature and not a bug (as in, it's intentional).
"We" need to stop thinking about "crime" as something negative.

It's a job, just a job. Some poor hungry person has to do a dangerous job
so they can feed their family. Simple as.

If you are the "victim" of a crime the wise thing to do is not resist, just
report the loss to insurance and get compensated, knowing that hungry people
have been fed and sheltered for whatever slight inconvenience you have experienced.

Perhaps even feel some gratitude that the lucky draw of your birth to privileged
people means you don't have the job title of criminal?

I'm a foreigner native to one of the many nations where American influence led to the sale of sate enterprises, free trade, market liberalization, and overall loss of local companies to the hands of USA firms

It's wild to see the same thing happen to the USA now, and to see their government be the ones handing out taxpayer money and caring about national sovereignty over liberalization and "market efficiency".
This is stupid argument. He/She was talking about something relative, that is, relative to what it was 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago. You can't come along and pick some worse example from another place.

With the same logic you could say wages don't need to increase for the next 20 years, or police can be defunded because more crime is not so important, because the 3rd world is off way worse...
ASCII restriction begets ASCII toothpick soup. Either lift that restriction or use balanced delimiters for strings in ASCII like backtick and single quote.

Does this actually happen at large scale without the permission of the owner of the IP?

I can see someone making a few hundred bucks with their fan art, but doing tens of thousands of dollars of business is a different story.

The main commercial factor (per the courts - see the recent Warhol lawsuit) is whether the derivative work competes in the market with the original work. I sincerely doubt that even if there is large-scale selling of fan art at conventions, that fan art is meaningfully competing with (ie reducing) the market for the original IP.
Vector graphics do not require a special editor to be built.

Plenty of projects from games to UI toolkits need a vector graphics renderer, which is why libraries like Skia and Cairo (and now Rive's) exist.

This might be somewhat true in some costal cities where there was a deliberate policy choice to make petty theft a misdemeanor (and thus encourage more crime), but this is just flat out not true where I live in the south. Theft is still very much prosecuted and not tolerated. I have never seen anyone just walk out with bags of stolen goods here, and our store aisles are not covered in locked plexiglass. Decline is a choice.
Places to stay are booked solid along the route. I've also seen reports of reservations made months in advance getting cancelled when the hosts discover they could get more money. Traffic tends to be epically bad on eclipse days, so keep that in mind too when planning.
It feels like increasingly, we're finding that humans are not quite as "uniquely intelligent" as we thought.

Don't get me wrong, humans are still the smartest animal on earth obviously, but it does seem like we greatly underestimated the intelligence of a lot of others. Birds like parrots and crows in particular continue to impress me when I see them solving increasingly elaborate puzzles, and figuring out how to open windows and the like.

Also I just think parrots are cute.
For me, as someone with side activities in the arts, going from "almost done" to "actually done" is a huge step precisely because the work is no longer a process artifact, and now has to stand on its own merits. How one's ego is involved changes dramatically. There's a reason there are so many unfinished symphonies and novels...
It works identically to macOS Launchpad.
KrakenSDR would do a good job of this, they combine five RTLSDR into a coherent array. The top end of their tuning range is 1766 MHz which would include the 1575 MHz of the GPS L1 signal.

The little five antenna array can even attach on the roof of a car for a handy ground plane. Prob not a good idea to drive with it out there tho.
You been on 4chan?
I'm thinking closer to 90s period, where "graphics cards" developed by Voodoo / 3dfx and its Glide API were clearly along the DirectX / OpenGL inspiration path. (3d Graphics pipeline / transform & lightning / etc. etc.). I don't know the exact point when these 3d accelerators became programmable with vertex/pixel shaders, but Glide is clearly on the path and part of the history here.

--------

You're right in that 80s / Arcade chips look to be different. Its a programmable graphics chip alright, but I wouldn't call that chip SIMD, not from what I can see from Wikipedia at least.
As any company should. Not sure what's funny about it - I'm interested in the person. If using AI is one of required capabilities I will ask them to perform a task using it during the interview so I can review their process. In the same way I don't expect to receive an executable binary as a cover letter for a SWE position.

I had many candidates submit absolutely terrible cover letters clearly made by ChatGPT. The number one sign - it talks about their experience exactly in the order I listed it on the job post; number two - I don't get to know anything about the person. I asked them to submit a cover letter they wrote themselves, and while not everyone's writing was as good as ChatGPT can write, I got to know the person, and hired few of these who definitely wouldn't make the cut if I went by the AI made letter.

If you can have AI generate your letter so well I can't tell, you get a pass. Nobody was able to do that yet, though (or at least didn't admit to it, even though I'm asking after they are hired and saying that at this point it would only help them if they did so).
That's the point, indeed. Your ISP and DNS can technically intercept your traffic, but it's pointless since TLS exists. Similarly, you can Wireshark an iPhone using MDM profiles but Apple doesn't respect your profile in the first place. Third-parties have no obligation to show you their traffic either, and many don't.
Ridiculous of you to act like this denies their responsibility. When the rich steal millions from the poor daily we should absolutely expect an increase in crime. To blame this solely on the poor is a denial of the responsibility of the rich.

Mug person, preferably while intoxicated. Use face I'd to get access to phone.

The amount of times as a tech fixing some crap on folks devices I just pick their crapples up and face Id myself into their phones for a auth pass before they even realize what has happened is too many. Face ID is a hella big security hole. People are slow to react. You can be in and auth'd before they even ask "hey what are doing?"
I'm not familiar with the area, so am likely missing something, but how do they do deterministic thread-level context switching? Something like:

var_1 = 0
var_2 = 0

thread_a:
while true:
something_complex()
var_1 ++

thread_b:
while true:
something_complex()
var_2 ++

Under the quoted definition of determinism, for every point in time, var_1 and var_2 should have the same values across all executions. But this would seem to amount to ensuring that exactly the same number of instructions are executed each time a thread is scheduled.

Oops, that sounds daunting.
I ask again, who are these "shareholders" and why do we continue to play along with this monumental scam?
TIL you can open the activities with the Super key. GP complaint is totally warranted.
Actually gravity does affect massless objects. It can bend the path of light, even though photons are massless. See 'gravitational lensing' for some cool photographic evidence :).

The Higg's Boson gives mass to many particles; this might be part of what you're thinking of.

Whether gravity is described by bosons at its deepest level is strictly speaking an open question, though many models of quantum gravity treat it this way.
People will always be entitled, but there needn't be dangerous contact. As a lifelong cyclist, the main problem (in my opinion) America faces here is the fact that we have exclusively car-first infrastructure.

The American stop sign, to me, is the symbol of how entrenched everything is here. Stop signs make zero sense for any mode of transportation except for cars. A physical, traffic-calming rotary at every intersection, in every neighborhood would be much more sensible, and reduce conflicts.

We could add collapsing bollards to create cycling corridors that cyclists actually want to be on, instead of the insane decision we've made to mix our cyclists and vehicles with a single line of paint on some of the busiest roads in the cities we live in.

Where all of this runs into a problem is with emergency response vehicles. Because our fire/EMS infrastructure is path-dependent with our transportation infrastructure, they tend to bitch and moan any time physical barriers are put up, or pedestrian malls are introduced. The system is the way it is, and if it changes, they believe it will cause them problems. The Fire Department in SF has been one of the biggest roadblocks to creating safe parallel corridors for cycling infrastructure, blocking bollards, neutering rotaries to the point if ineffectiveness, blocking traffic calming features unless they allow for high-speed fire/EMS vehicles, thus defeating the purpose.

If anyone wanted to make a long lasting impact on American society, this is the problem I would focus on solving. I think building emergency response vehicles (specifically fire, and ambulances) that can interact with a traffic calming feature that is impassible to normal vehicles but passable to bicycles and pedestrians (say via high clearance) would do more for saving lives, reducing emissions, and stemming the tide of the American development pattern across the world than almost anything else.
It's been happening for decades in other industries. Especially automotive. Same (worse) here in Canada.

To me it's a sign of a sector in decline.
As a US citizen, it's pretty wild to live through. Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest of us.
These charts really show how overblown the murder/car theft issues are now. Higher than pre-pandemic yes, but still relatively low.
The US has laws against interfering with GPS, but I don't think there's any global laws about GPS jamming, you'd need something from the UN but it doesn't seem like most countries would want to give up that ability - we can't even get people to stop making nukes and they have a much higher danger
gooey?
The market chose what it could based on the conditions that exist. Make is easier to people to open new businesses and expand existing ones, and people will do so. Creating hostile environments and then choosing who gets free money to overcome those difficulties is not much of a market.

It is one of those things that is a terrible supervillain type idea. Ill founded and very prone to be hit the worst way by the law of unintended side effects. But it is also fun to think about as a sort of evil what if.

Volcanoes emit a lot... I mean an extreme amount of co2. They are also associated with global cooling events. This does not match general greenhouse carbon theory. So you go digging in to find out why. and the answer is complex but one major reason is that they also emit a lot of sulfur dioxide and sulpher dioxide has a negative greenhouse coefficient. that is, when found in the upper atmosphere it has a net cooling effect.

So you do a little mustache twirl, give an evil cackle, and proclaim "It is a shame we worked so hard to remove sulfur from our fuels." I mean acid rain was not really all that bad, was it? When really in the mood I also like to conclude with "The obvious thing to do is to add additional sulfur into jet fuels"

The final fun thing to do after you have just become an internet expert(that is you read the wikipedia page) on greenhouse theory. Is to inform people that water vapor has 10 times the greenhouse coefficient of co2. I will leave it to the reader to figure out why this both is and is not a problem.
They are even matching the internal resistance of the cells, I can't think of much more a professional manufacturer would be doing. As long as they are getting their cells from reputable sources (big if) I don't see anything wrong with a boutique battery industry for niche applications.
Cool cool, except the situation is dire and people need a roof over their head. Other priorities can wait.
>no matter the medium, or means or relative notoriety of the artist - shall be candidate training data

Why is this a special case? When people were viewing it, reposting it, using it to learn... those were all accepted uses. Passing it off as your own wasn't allowed, but outright plagiarism has pretty consistently been unaccepted.

The problem seems to stim from using it in a way that directly competes with the artist, and given your other point about their financial position, is a direct financial threat to them. The morality of the situation seems to be that it is wrong because of the financial harm, but recognizing that such an argument is rarely accepted, it must instead be justified by some other argument, any other argument, that condemns the outcome.

I don't think this is anything particularly unique. How often do we find things wrong because of a logical argument as to why it is wrong, and how often do we find a logical argument to justify our felling that something is wrong?

There is also a element of helplessness. No matter what the government does, pandora's box has been opened and it can't be closed. While it might slow down the development of better AI, it isn't going to stop it and banning existing software isn't going to be possible. The damage has been done, and even if the artists have an overwhelming victory, they are only going to recover a fraction of lost ground only to eventually lose it again.
AI has this difference to the other booms that the resources required to train a large model are out of reach of a student in a college dorm.
The problem with taxing rent is you have to ask: do you also tax the "imputed rent" of owner-occupiers?

It's politically difficult to do so, but if you don't you end up with an even bigger barrier to mobility and entry to the property class as you have to pay more until you can save up for a deposit.

(I don't think you can make the tax incidence on renters zero)
