Why do you say "all states" when that's not true, and when California is one of the most populated states in the country and has zero exemptions?
Read https://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#utf32-2.

In addition, UTF-32 can cause issues on the network due to byte ordering (little endian vs. big endian). There’s really two encodings, UTF-32LE and UTF-32BE.

For all of these reasons, the world has largely standardized on UTF-8, plus for historical reasons UTF-16 in the JVM, CLR, Windows, and JavaScript.
Well, in a case where the intention at the outset is to have sex for pleasure only and explicitly try and prevent it from happening, is it more immoral to take it to completion against the others intention to participate, or more immoral to excuse yourself from raising it on the basis you don't think you and the other parent will be able to raise the kid without too much conflict?

Seems nuanced to me.

If you go at it alone despite obviously bad circumstances, and you end up not winning that roll of the dice on your ability to do it alone long term, did you fuck up or did they?
Could you explain a bit more about how Brandeis' philosophy relates to that case? Was he actively arguing for this sort of experiment, or are you just trying to imply that "experimentation"/science means you lack any morals?
I am working on a new kind of device, that, compared to the technology we use today, will make everything look like toys of the past. I am 100% convinced we are very close to our generations "PC revolution" era (no, no AI gadget waste). Not only is it superior tech, it is actually sustainable. This will chsmge everything.

While currently writing software prototypes & building hardware PoCs, i should spend more time trying to find team members... Otherwise i will not be able to secure financing which is crucial right now... so, soon i either will still be working on this, or i am dead. Let's see!
Naughty Dog found a solution - constantly streaming data from the disk, without regard for the hardware's endurance rating:

> Andy had given Kelly a rough idea of how we were getting so much detail through the system: spooling. Kelly asked Andy if he understood correctly that any move forward or backward in a level entailed loading in new data, a CD “hit.” Andy proudly stated that indeed it did. Kelly asked how many of these CD hits Andy thought a gamer that finished Crash would have. Andy did some thinking and off the top of his head said “Roughly 120,000.” Kelly became very silent for a moment and then quietly mumbled “the PlayStation CD drive is ‘rated’ for 70,000.”

> Kelly thought some more and said “let’s not mention that to anyone” and went back to get Sony on board with Crash.

> you have uranium exports already

nope!

Australia is big into mining - dig a hole, put the contents of the hole on a ship to a country that puts more effort into things, cash the cheques. actually doing things with the contents of the whole is a lot of work and requires whole industries full of expertise and training pipelines and industrial policy, so it's easier to just dig holes->ship contents of holes. even owning the mining companies is not a popular hobby - much better to sell out to a big foreign company and take the cash, then they can worry about even the hole digging.

if you've ever heard of the Resource Curse, Australia is one of the rare Rich Western Country victims of it - it's all too easy, and so everything else gets left by the wayside. and then the mining industry is rich, so has lots of lobbyists and pet politicians who cement it's power - even easy things like a Mining Super Profit Tax that would have just cut some of the profits that got sent overseas to fund developing other parts of the economy got scaremongered by a huge mining industry lobbying push and never happened.

we are very very fucked if mining stops being easy and/or profitable.

> wouldn't it be an ideal country to build nuclear power?

nope!

a few reasons:

- it's a small population - less than a tenth the population of the US. having a nuclear power industry has enormous fixed costs. you need a web of companies that work on the various bits, you need universities and apprenticeships churning out experts, you need absolutely fucking enormous government subsidies, and you need to do that for decades.

- Australian politicians are - partly because of the above - very used to not working hard, so trying to convince people that they need to pay even more for electricity to subsidise a new nuclear power industry - and like mining above, that's almost entirely going to be going to foreign companies.

- renewables are absolutely fucking easy and cheap and quick. Australia is the size of western europe or nearly as big as the main bit of the USA, so you can just deploy thousands of square kilometers of solar panels or wind, across multiple timezones, across multiple climactic regions, etc. nonetheless, people whinge about this, including actual real federal ministers claiming that wind turbines on farms are "eyesores".

- it's too late - even countries that have nuclear reactors take decades to build them, so starting now, even with political will and competence, would take, say, twenty years to turn the first one on. Australia needs to be net zero before then. so if people want to argue about deploying nuclear power in Australia, then go for it, but it needs to 1) not delay actual work now, which will mass deployment of renewables and storage and 2) it needs a plan to compete with renewables costs in 2050. saying "oh hey, let's do nuclear, it'll cost way more and won't be here until your grandkids are born, also you'll be subsidising it" is a very very poor sales pitch.
> And insist that western companies give joint ownership of subsidiaries doing business in China to a Chinese company.

Your information is out of date. This has been progressively phased out over the last 30 years, and is no longer required in most industries. Just to give you an example, Tesla fully owns its operations in China.
But what else is the secular world to do? Suppose you're right and we do need religion. Surely the solution isn't for atheists to pretend that religion is true, right? Even if they did, the psychological benefits of religion are probably at least greatly weakened (if not absent) when the follower doesn't even believe it's true.
I've since moved on to work primarily on diffusion models, so I have a series of blog posts about that topic as well!

- https://sander.ai/2022/01/31/diffusion.html is about the link between diffusion models and denoising autoencoders, IMO the easiest to understand out of all interpretations;
- https://sander.ai/2023/07/20/perspectives.html covers a slew of different perspectives on diffusion models (including the "autoencoder" one).

In a nutshell, diffusion models break up the difficult task of generating natural signals (such as images or sound) into many smaller partial denoising tasks. This is done by defining a corruption process that gradually adds noise to an input until all of the signal is drowned out (this is the "diffusion"), and then learning how to invert that process step-by-step.

This is not dissimilar to how modern language models work: they break up the task of generating text into a series of easier next-word-prediction tasks. In both cases, the model only solves a small part of the problem at a time, and you apply it repeatedly to generate a signal.
Congrats on the launch. The demo is truly impressive. On my Apple cell phone with a Chrome browser, the latency feels a little sluggish (I am sure you are working on it). Congrats again and all the best!
I don't understand how it has a final resolution of 96 steps if the hardware has 24 steps.
Many, meaning, not all. It's obviously a cultural thing. That red envelope idea is ancient.

China and Vietnam that do the red envelope bit would be "second world" countries, incidentally, as they were part of the communist block under that old "three worlds" labeling.

How else are we going to find out which policies work, if we can't perform experiments? The experiment is the basic tool of science.
Laws are often just social signals in writing. A law indicates that a large group agrees that something is bad. Often times people find it easier to just agree with a law rather than navigate the mental gray area around behaviors that aren't black and white.

Interestingly, the N64 actually had some sort of precursor in form of the RSP "microcode". Unfortunately there was initially no documentation, so most developers just used the code provided by Nintendo, which wasn't very optimized and didn't include advanced features. Only in the last years did homebrew people really push the limits here with "F3DEX3".

> and a god awful bilinear filtering on all output.

I think that's a frequent misconception. The texture filtering was fine, it arguably looks significantly worse when you disable it in an emulator or a recompilation project. The only problem was the small texture cache. The filtering had nothing to do with it. Hardware accelerated PC games at the time also supported texture filtering, but I don't think anyone considered disabling it, as it was an obvious improvement.

But aside from its small texture cache, the N64 also had a different problem related to its main memory bus. This was apparently a major bottleneck for most games, and it wasn't easy to debug at the time, so many games were not properly optimized to avoid the issue, and wasted a large part of the frame time with waiting for the memory bus. There is a way to debug it on a modern microcode though. This video goes into more detail toward the end: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SHXf8DoitGc
that's a good question, but the electron transport chain and photosynthesis are both postulated/(known?) to exploit quantum effects at room temperature.
But I've seen plenty of people being confused by the popup about undoing when they just as shake their phone a little bit for other reasons (moving around for example).

I always disable this feature.
You repeat another popular misconception. Buys/sells on exchanges do NOT show up as on-chain transactions. The data I'm showing is real on-chain transactions. It's pretty exhausting to have to re-explain this ad-nauseam. But I suppose it is not your fault. There is a lot of misinformation out there.

We simply shouldn't be doing this with cars being so essential to our society. It should be jail or sanctions (driving restrictions).

I imagine under this system some extreme repeat offenders would still be banned. Perhaps a few less extreme getting suspensions. Taking someone's license as a general penalty for many offenses is terrible. This has really fed outlaw culture in the USA.

I would also like to see public transit options that make this less of an extreme issue. Perhaps this could be achieved in 5-50 years.

I don't want to see my friends contemplating suicide after a first offense or considering the legal life to be impossible after one or two more.
Hubris is really, really nice. I've spent half an hour reading some of the kernel code and it’s exceptionally clear and well written - a far cry from ifdef macro soup, two letter variable name loving, comment starved C code I’ve seen previously. A good bit of bedtime reading!

Mehw? "In der Kürze liegt die Würze."
I remember when I was a kid, I left a bus, and the bus started moving, and I, not being intimidated by the bus moving very slowly (somewhere between 5 and 10 km/h), didn't move a safe distance away from the bus. I think the bus, due to the nature of its maneuverability, had its tail moving not in parallel to me but slightly towards me - so when it has "touched" (hit?) me, even though I thought it was just sliding in parallel, the force was so strong I made a full 360° turn - and I was a tall and chubby boy.

I ended up with no injury, not even a bruise as far as I can remember (who would count bruises as a kid), but definitely with an intuition to respect mass.
Re-exports are only 1/3 of their total exports - it's still incredibly impressive to have such high production for such a tiny country.

Single axis utility scale solar usually has the capability to adjust tilt to vertical when hail is forecasted to minimize kinetic damage. Cannot speak to why that did not occur here.

> Select a tracker system that can engage in a "hail stow" mode. This stow position is typically the maximum vertical tilt the tracker system allows, which should decrease the angle of impact of most hail balls. It’s better if this automatically engages, but some systems are manually operated. Without implementing special design considerations as discussed in (Reznikov 2018), tracker systems may not fare as well in high wind regions, so certain locations may need to balance these conflicting design considerations.

curl | sh is a bad practice, but lack of "curl https://get.docker.com | sh" scenario is certainly bad for Podman adoption.
For some reason Docker Desktop users on macOS and Windows are prioritized over non-rpm Linux users.

I'm making a small compost freezer. This way, while your compost is in your kitchen and before you put it in the municipal compost bin outside, it doesn't smell, isn't wet, doesn't attract flies, and the bag doesn't rip. It has the form factor of a small trash can and uses a TEC for cooling.
>But online platforms are not like shopping malls, because online platforms sell advertiser access to a coherent speech product, which is distinct from the sale of goods in ways that profoundly affect first amendment protection of their business.

But the social media companies aren't the ones who want age verification and to kick people off their platforms, the government is. The companies want kids in their audience, kids want to be in their audience, many parents are fine with kids in their audience, it's the government of Florida who wants to ban kids.

Correct me if I'm misunderstanding but you seem to be arguing that social media companies should be allowed to kick people off their platforms, which would trump the individual's free speech. That isn't the issue here.
> all of us except one tried to hold back the force of the train

This reminds me of a vivid memory I have. I’d just finished a shift cooking, and out back of our restaurant there were railroad tracks. I had a beer and smoke out there with my shift mate, and a train was rolling by. I thought it would be fun to practice jumping on the train. So I do a few passes jogging alongside it, hopping on and off. Then my buddy, standing still, reached out and grabs a rung of a ladder on one of the cars. It immediately picked him up, but he gripped harder due to being startled. He got ragdolled through the air about 10 feet from where he was initially standing.

Kids, don’t play with trains (trespassing issues aside).
If a 2FA password is configured, it is still required in order to login with a future auth token; however, even if it isn't set up, the fact that you have a future auth token means you have already logged in and then logged out on this specific device, so it's not a real issue (i.e. it's as if when logging out, you didn't actually log out but rather just hid the account in the UI, the future auth token is stored safely, in the same place as normal auth keys are + re-entering the 2FA password is still required).

Instagram is moving towards being a TikTok competitor so it doesn't make much sense.

Thank you! You've voiced my thought exactly.
The difference is massive.

Your weird neighbour who has a feet fetish would never get to be a TV star, but he can amass 50k followers on TikTok, and request feet pics via private messages to them. Including underage children.

Now multiply that by ten thousand.

TV, by nature of being a group effort and holding a sliver of a monopoly for your attention, had a natural content filter (based on societal standards, for bad and good).
Is that the case here? What is that large group and what is it comprised of? Does it represent all Floridians?
Thank you so much for posting this. It's wonderful to hear how excited you are about it all.

This is the first sentence of the article:

> In 2016, Facebook launched a secret project designed to intercept and decrypt the network traffic between people using Snapchat’s app and its servers.

I read the rest of the article as well, and saw only confirmation:

> Given that Snapchat encrypted the traffic between the app and its servers, this network analysis technique was not going to be effective. This is why Facebook engineers proposed using Onavo, which when activated had the advantage of reading all of the device’s network traffic before it got encrypted and sent over the internet.

Where do you see the ambiguity? Other than the weasel words about proposing these programs (versus actually running them), it seems clear that they were decrypting the traffic (or reading it before it was encrypted). Did I miss a piece?
