Fine, so things are clarified: you were saying it could be a bubble because X, and now I've demonstrated that we are not in the situation X, so it is not a bubble.

I still don't understand how you can assume I'm not myself in a bubble, say that I see people considering renewables as a very valid solution, and still this observation is a result of a bubble (a bubble I'm not in, but still I only see things inside of the bubble and not out of it).

Can you see my situation? You have to admit that my reaction is just legitimate.

> If you can draw the above conclusions from this sentence, then there is no need to talk further. And I have to assume that you apply the same kind of logic to everything. No wonder you think Jancovici is wrong.

How convenient. I think Jancovici is wrong about solar (not about everything) because I saw him saying things that are factually wrong, not because he said "bubble", "people" or "it" and that I have misinterpreted that. Firstly, even if I am somehow unable to understand your sentence (which I'm not), I don't need this skill to notice that the numbers we are obtaining are dramatically not the same as the numbers the guy provided. It's like saying "you don't understand Italian language, so I don't believe you when you say that this mathematical development has a sign error in it". Secondly, even if I'm myself an idiot, then you still need to explain why all of my colleagues (including the ones enthusiastic about nuclear development) are also very perplexed regarding Jancovici conclusions on solar.

This whole discussion does not help my impression that there is a lot of irrationality and deny. It really feels you are jumping on an excuse to exclude the possibility that Jancovici may not be right. Again, it fits very well with my first interpretation that you jumped to conclusion that I may be myself in a bubble just because I was saying things that you don't want to hear.
> being barraged with messages of impossibility is poisonous to them

It is not your successful friends staying online all day posting negative messages.

That’s the line I tell anyone who needs some unstuckitude and feels it’s impossible. Has worked well for me personally. The people bitching and moaning on Reddit are not the people busting their butts getting unstuck.
Thanks a lot for your message! I really appreciate it, especially since it's my first time designing something myself like that (I know it's not perfect, but I'm happy with the V1, haha).

That may be unclear, and I may have to update the small banner on the homepage. As mentioned, it's "an average of 4.09/5 on Goodreads". The calculation works as follows: sum of all unique books rating / number of books = average.

I wanted to highlight that the website has books rated below 4/5 and above 4/5, but overall, the average rating on Goodreads is relatively high (= books recommended by the community).

Is there anything I can improve to make it more clear? :)
If you insult the prophet Mohammed in a Facebook post should Iran be able to extradite you from the USA to Iran in order to charge and punish you for committing that crime in their country?

Obviously not. Yet the USA does this routinely. It's effectively what Assange did.

This is basically how Apple does things. Instead of proof of work, they bake the tokens into devices.

The basic idea is that they'll happily let you sneak a few spam messages through iMessage if you're willing to spend a few hundred dollars on a burner iPhone. This is one reason why they're so resistant to allowing gateway protocols between iMessage and third party devices or RCS.
Organize your music collection with bash and GPT4
In my pursuit to retrieve my music from the cloud, I find myself once again at a juncture where I need to work with folders and file names.
In doing so, I've rediscovered the issue of having similar folder and file names.
If you have a large music collection, you sometimes encounter similar folders and names, which can lead to a huge mess, especially if you try to use Rockbox and other devices that utilize flash cards and the FAT32 systems.
My goal was to reduce this mess.
So, here is an example of how i tried to solve this problem.
Maybe it will help you too.

I heard through the grape vine they were able to halt traffic across the bridge at the last minute. Only people actually on it when it fell were construction workers who were filling potholes at the time.
They don’t need to do that. First, Adobe doesn’t see Affinity as meaningful competition. Adobe sees Figma and Canva (and Blackmagic and Avid in the NLE space) as competition, but a company doing £30m a year in revenue is barely a blip on their radar (Adobe did nearly $20b in revenue in FY23).

Second, for the lowend market that Affinity serves, Adobe Express (its Canva compete) and Photoshop Express ($35 a year) are going to be enough for most of the core users. And Canva has quickly taken on the role for the low cost design tool of choice for normies who want to collaborate. I don’t use it for anything fancy, but I am not going to lie and say it isn’t better/faster at making YouTube thumbnails than basically anything else. Canva is the competitor, not Affinity. And Canva is being smart by buying a tool/team with a lot of users that they have the opportunity to now integrate with Canva. Will that integration be any good? I don’t know. But the leading web tool now has a native app component.

But make no mistake, Adobe has zero incentive to lower its prices for its core products at this time (the web products are a different story). The challenge it faces is when users at scale opt for similarly priced alternatives (Figma over XD, Canva over Adobe Express), not the middling number of users (and I count myself as one of them, but I’m just being honest) that pay for Affinity because it is a nice low cost tool.

I cannot imagine anyone who has a real business need for Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign and has to collaborate with others (and that part is key; if you’re a solo designer who never has to share files with others, that’s great but we’re not the target audience for Adobe anyway and we probably haven’t been since the early 1990s) choosing anything other than Adobe. The $720 a year or whatever it has gone up to is just the price of doing business.

Where Adobe faces challenges is from the people who don’t need to use Illustrator, InDesign or Photoshop for their work but have very strong web-based competition for specific tools. The UX teams that are standardized on Figma, even if they got XD as part of Creative Cloud, who don’t use Photoshop or Illustrator or InDesign, would rather pay the $45 or $75 a month to Figma. And the marketing teams that need to make graphics for social media or newsletters or whatever, would often rather pay $120 per seat for Canva than for Adobe Express (tho my recent experiments with Express show that it is getting very close to Canva in terms of capabilities and is better in some instances, Canva is prob better for that target audience, however). That’s the competition, not the offline design tools.
I don’t know. I’m curious is all.

MA57 seems generic but I’ve tried different linear solvers with IPOPT even ones that were supposed to be better, but MA57 still performed the best.

https://facebook.github.io/prophet/

"Prophet is a procedure for forecasting time series data based on an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data. Prophet is robust to missing data and shifts in the trend, and typically handles outliers well."
I wonder how hardware will change if LLMs quantized to -1,0,1 really take off.
Police have much more legal power to stop, identify, search and harass you if you are in a car. For instance, your 4th amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure is nullified by forced identification laws and implied consent. A simple pre-textual stop for "Possible intoxication" makes it easy to target undesirables for searches and forced identification.

This is not nearly as easy on public transportation or for pedestrians. Terry stops have much less power when you don't have a hundred traffic laws and licensing requirements that you can get a car driver for. In addition, you can't revoke someone's walking license if they don't pay child support.

I think it's misleading to label this "Debian/Ubuntu privilege escalation"; it's a Linux kernel local exploit, that happens to be confirmed to apply to Debian and Ubuntu.

(Edit: Because when I read "Debian/Ubuntu privilege escalation PoC exploit for CVE-2024-1086" my first thought was something like, "Oh, is it in apt-get? Or is this another distro patch gone wrong?")

There appears to be an issue with the lyric matching, which I'm guessing is based on caching the previously generated lyrics for different songs with the same name. I noticed it specifically on the song "Sweet Pea" by the Tobasco Donkeys, where it shows tabs and lyrics but they don't match the song.

We agree that giving kids access to heroin as a way to teach self control is idiotic. What we don't agree on is that social media in its current incarnation is heroin like. I think it is.

..heroin was the primary means of social interaction for the majority of adults..

We aren't talking about adults we are talking about kids. That the majority of adults use social media for social interaction is a separate problem and in no way indicates that we should subject kids to something as highly addicting and harmful as social media (in its current incarnation).

There are tons of studies that show that social media harmful to peoples' mental health. It is profoundly dumb for society to subject kids to it. In same way it is profoundly dumb to let drug companies advertise. People are easily manipulated and kids especially so.

The charges currently listed are not going to age well in history books due to reasons such as:

1. Other parties are seemingly more responsible than Assange in releasing of unredacted cables, and yet these parties are seemingly not subject to repercussions. For example, the journalists who published in a book a password they had been given to decrypt an archive of unredacted cables.[1, 2] The Wikileaks volunteer who without Assange's permission provided unredacted cables to a different journalist.[3] Other parties who published the unredacted cables before Wikileaks did, using the password leaked by the journalists.[1]

2. In Manning's sentencing, a court was told by the US government that no reprisals were known to have occurred to Afghan civilians helping the US as a result of the Afghan War Logs leak.[3] By contrast there are publicly reported instances of Afghans who helped the US during the war being left behind and then beheaded [5] and tortured [6] by the Taliban. Coalition partners (UK, AU, etc) were not at all happy about this Afghanistan exit!

The UK requiring a specialty assurance seemingly forces the US to forfeit additional charges secretly sought to be added, for example, charges for Vault 7 leaks. And even if Assange was extradited to the US, the US has provided the UK with assurance that he'd be sent back over to Australia where "Free Assange" graffiti is everywhere and Assange is possibly the only issue that the Greens and National parties will ever agree upon.[7] Picture Trump and Biden traveling together and lobbying together in the same room for the same cause.

While I do question their point that AGI is coming for all jobs, I think you're shoehorning your own narrative onto their point. At no point did they mention "fun" or "meaning". Even the idea that those are synonymous with employment is suspect.
Even if it was the town square many actual town squares require adults to accompany minors. Sure enough if you had a bunch of unattended 12 year olds hanging out the cops would be called and parents asked to be parents.

Even worse would happen if you left your 6 year old wonder around the town square unattended while you went to a movie.

I’m also not quite an expert, but have benchmarked an M1 and various GPUs.

The M* chips have unified memory and (especially Pro/Max/Ultra) have very high memory bandwidth even compared eg to a 1080 (an M1 Ultra has memory bandwidth between 2080 and 3090).

At small batch sizes (including 1, like most local tasks), inference is bottlenecked by memory bandwidth, not compute ability. This is why people say the M* chips are good for ML.

However H100s are used primarily for training (at enormous batch sizes) and require lots of interconnect to train large models. At that scale, arithmetic intensity is very high, and the M* chips aren’t very competitive (even if they could be networked) - they pick a different part of the Pareto power/efficiency curve than H100s which guzzle up power.

This exploit relies on unprivileged access to user namespaces: `sysctl kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone = 1`

This is the default setting for Debian/Ubuntu, and also Arch Linux kernels. If you don't have a need for that setting, (eg. running Docker commands without sudo), you should probably disable that anyway.

It feels like this comment is based on not realizing that debit cards are normal things in many parts of the world, where just because you don't want to use a credit card, you don't need to use cash.

You already have a bank account, and your bank already knows how to talk to literally any other bank, because by law they have to all talk the same protocols, so you can just use your bank card to pay for everything, anywhere. No need for cards from private companies like Visa or Mastercard that saw a failed banking system and went "Let us fill that niche, it'll be so convenient! For a large fee, of course".

And it really is a failed banking system: the fact that Interac in North America was able to go "hey we 'invented' EFT and got your bank to sign onto that, because they refuse to directly talk to other banks so you can't move money from one account to another. It'll only cost you a dollar each time!" is just insane.

He will not be tried as a journalist. The US govt will not recognise his status as a journalist, so none of the legal protections and precedents will be applied.

He's just some foreign civilian who aided Manning in obtaining state secrets and then published those state secrets on his blog.

He doesn't/didn't work for a recognised journalistic organisation, he doesn't belong to a journalist union or professional body, he doesn't hold a qualification in journalism. He's "just a blogger" and so none of the precedents matter.
