In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting.

In conversations with the user in early January, undercover agents sent links of YouTube tutorials for mapping via drones and augmented reality software, then asked Google for information on who had viewed the videos, which collectively have been watched over 30,000 times.

This is the first case. This doesn't seem that narrow to me.
You can recover a bitcoin public key from a valid signature.
You play right into their hands by being demoralised (and trying to spread that to others)
Are there any good numbers on how many positions this has affected?
> Supposing every person watched that video 10 times AND supposing the target was one of the viewers (it really isn't clear that this is true), that's 2999 people who have had their rights violated to search for one

I think whether their rights are violated depends entirely on what sort of information is handed over. Consider acquiring surveillance footage that has plenty of foot traffic, but a suspect is known to have passed by. The police are typically permitted to review that footage even though plenty of innocent people were captured on that video.
Early 3d generally hasn't aged as well, probably due to extremely low resolution textures and so forth.

Some methods.

State some specifics, let's find out the quality of your heuristics.

>Also, the very argument above yours isn't that people show a false concern for the well-being of others, it's that whether they do this or not, their own efforts to improve their own lives even for selfish reasons still more often than not help society in general through market mechanisms. It has worked remarkably so far, even if it's imperfect in many ways, like nearly anything human.

Can you explain how you measure counterfactual reality, which is an implicit assertion within your claim?
What would make it easier for me to bet on this is if a few pages made with this could be embedded in an existing Django app, in particular using Django auth. I assume many other people are in that position, with existing Django assets.

I get that it's not straightforward because it's based on FastAPI and has its own ORM based on SqlAlchemy, both of which have different async behavior than Django, but is it possible to maybe host a Django app and Reflex app in the same process, routing between the two at the WSGI/ASGI etc. level, and only interact with the Django auth middleware?
What about Apple's M-series chips, which have on-die RAM? Is that RAM significantly more expensive per GB due to the more expensive process?

(It's certainly exorbitantly expensive for retail consumers at $200 for an 8 GB RAM upgrade on a Macbook!)
It's pretty likely that you need a particular frequency band for this enormous distance.

Also not all CEO replacements turn out bad. Uber certainly has turned itself around.
Yes, right, exactly, this is the kind of explanation that I've been saying is warranted spelling out. And there's a lot to discuss here - what does it even mean for a multitude of parallel universes to exist? why should we believe that's something that's possible? how does it work exactly? what are the implications of such a theory? is there any rigorous science we can do to flesh out how this works? and other questions. And people have written a lot on this topic.

You mean median person. If society gets wealthier the average nearly definitionally gets better (modulo population increase)
Nah actually pretty dumb overall. And sending an open link when a private one looks the same is even more dumb.
Side note: dynamic library unloading (and, for that manner, multiple loading of the same library; see `dlmopen`) is finicky because the language has no concept of ownership of things like function pointers and pointers to static data. It's easy to imagine a better language, though this would of course require a lot of low-level implementation work!
Some, yes. Lamport signatures are almost certainly quantum resistant. But the small, compact schemes that are getting attention and competing in the NIST selection? Probably not.
Wow, the comments seems mean spirited. I would say Thanks for releasing open source models and accepting to pass the torch
I used to have a complicated shave routine, but since discovering feather blades, I just use one of those 2-4 times before replacing it, and shave with nothing but warm water. It's so sharp that it doesn't hurt at all, and the lack of oil or soap means simple running water cleans the razor out. It's so much faster than my previous routine.

(I used electrics for a long time, but I find the smell disturbing and occasionally they pinch and pull. And I like how a double-edge can give me a smoother finish if I do a few broad areas against the grain.)
> We are already preventing 99% of preventable deaths.

How did you measure this?
I recall reading at some point that at any given time a person can have multiple mini-cancers coming and going, not resulting in anything.

Could the early-onset cancer epidemic be an effect of detecting cancers earlier, and/or the consequences of the resulting stress (higher levels of inflammation, etc.)?

A kind of “if you’re measuring it, you’re altering it”. Perhaps as we lower detection thresholds we should take care of handling measuring outcomes more carefully.
And what if the government does eventually get its hands on aliens and their flying saucers? “It’s not their job [to keep it secret],” he says. “It would immediately get turned over to Nasa, and Nasa would immediately disclose it to everybody. That’s their job.”

Oh OK, NASA will disclose it like they did with the footage of a UFO entering earth(1)?

So you're saying that it's government's responsibility to let firms be shitty to their employees with stealth pay cuts?

I would MUCH rather a firm have to face the music and reputational damage of cutting employee pay or firing employees. It's far more honest and the actual other option is gasp don't cut your employees wage and instead take a hit to your margins.
It's still early. Let's wait and see who officials attribute this attack to in a few days. If they say it was Islamists, there's virtually zero chance that it was a false flag because that wouldn't help Putin.

> We're seeing political discontent in the UK and US that seems to be linked to people who don't believe that they are becoming better off

I think there's a section of people in this demographic who have been seeing how much better off _others_ are (thru social media etc), and thus feel discontent. This is exacerbated by the fact that such type of discontent inducing content is clickbait and gets people emotional (therefore, engagement).

There's some truth, perhaps, to the idea that some people were better off in the seventies than today, but the majority of people are likely living a wealthier life today. They just dont feel it, because there exists an even wealthier class that is now very visible, and it has been ingrained into the youths that modern society has moved past feudalism and classism.
I think that's kind of the whole point. It is introducing an ambience, it is deliberately made quirky and irregular like the handwriting of some. It is not a common font and that means our eyes are going to be slightly unused to reading it.

If your contract says you make $5000/month in salary, then why would the number of dollars decrease? They wouldn't increase due to inflation unless the employer chose to "give you a raise" (just adjusting for inflation perhaps), but they can't unilaterally decrease your salary (in countries that don't suck, anyway).
The Sama-Bajau and all other modern humans have inherited maritime traditions that are tens of thousands of years old. They're not a good basis for comparison to the people we're discussing, just as you and I aren't.

We know very little about these people and their technology, but it's worth pointing out that this is the first definitively established oceanic crossing in human history. In fact, it's one of the few crossings we know about until many thousands of years later in the Holocene.

This is something that comes up regularly in these sorts of studies. There's a lot of ideas, skills, and technologies that look "easy" to us because we benefit from standing on the shoulders of giants, but are extremely difficult when you don't have that hindsight. It's entirely possible that this was a monumental feat to these people. It also might not have been, so I avoided describing it either way.

I interviewed at Stability AI a while ago and that interview was a complete shit show. They quite literally spent 40 minutes talking about Emad and his "vision". I think we actually talked about what they wanted me to do there for like 15 minutes.

I was not feeling confident about them as a company that I wanted to work for before that interview, afterwards I knew that was a company I wouldn't work for.
I totally agree with you. But then, consider how different it would be if:

b) we had an education system that improved people so they were capable of making more optimal decisions

No they're not. Which ones will live a day less of their lives?

If I'm on surveillance footage near a crime scene, police have the right to look for me and question me. This isn't any different. It's just different sets of photons and electrons.

I respect the rights to privacy, but a crime happened, and the police have the tools to investigate. It's barely an inconvenience.

The burden of proof will still be on the investigators and prosecution to find out and show beyond a shadow of a doubt who performed the swatting.
Zero-sum has nothing to do with absolute numbers, let alone "the number you can meet".

The issue is relative numbers. If there's more demand for women than there is demand for men in the relevant cohort, some men's demand must be unsatisfied (barring polyandry). That's as true for 10M men and 8M women as it is for 10 men and 8 women. (After those 8x women are matched, there are 2x men left over.)

Moreover, single is the wrong characteristic - available is the right one. The ratio of available women to available men is even more lopsided than the ratio of women to men (in the relevant cohort). (It doesn't matter what definition you use for available as long as it's the same on both sides.)
"Decentralised" AI probably means something to do with crypto. Like mint this ocin to get access to that model? That's my guess.

> It's very hard for inflation to rise without wages rising

for inflation caused by external factors - such as a war and spiralling high energy prices - it can rise without wages rising.
You know it never ceases to amaze me how even the most respected fall prey to this money laundering scheme. If people even spent some time to read about Tether they would not touch this stuff. It's blood money.
The OP and your reports agree: the Boskin committee changed the way inflation is calculated. The new way says there is less inflation than the old measure said.

So, if the new measure is actually wrong, then inflation is underreported now, when it used to be correctly reported before. The Boskin committee believes it was overreported before and it is now correctly reported.

No, they suggested it now relies on inflation numbers that it knows to be too low. They said that inflation numbers used to be more realistic, but they have recently been lower than real inflation that consumers experience.

Microbes on Mars don't have the same potential for giving your country a dominating advantage for decades like an interstellar vessel with intelligent beings on it has.
To some degree you are correct, but you are conflating processes that occur at different scales.

And important part of a functional immune system is checkpointing and surveillance of cells. Cells with errors in transcription in theory are flagged for destruction. Cell surface signaling is another way that the immune system jumps in to attack abnormal cells. This process is happening continuously, so in a technical sense if you wish to define cancer at the level of a single cell with proliferative potential, then sure, cancer is popping up all the time. As a result it is also why immunosuppressives carry warnings about increased risk of cancer, because they are downregulating a critical safeguard.

Cancer detection is still predominantly at the level of macroscopic disease, at which point it has far surpassed the point of failure on a cellular level. While a rise in cancer diagnoses are to be expected with improved screening, a hypothetical situation where cancers are coming and going does not occur at a clinically detectable level.
