I'm a software engineer focused on front-end web application development who is eager to forge connections and take on fresh challenges in a new role.
Please stop pestering me. Your claim is not based in fact, and it won't become one through spaced repetition. ChatGPT has never been blocked in the EU, and neither were LLaMA, Mistral AI, or Gemini - Google has a well-established history of slow roll-outs with their new product launches.

ChatGPT, the end-user-product, was briefly banned in Italy, following a data leak in OpenAI's systems, and in connection with their illegal data-gathering practices and lack of age verification which they promptly addressed in a matter of weeks. GPT-4 remained available through OpenAI APIs during this time.

And yes, the EU AI act has completely blocked some AIs because of their potential to harm the general public, no argument there. We ban guns for the same reasons.
Hey all! I'm Allisyn, recruiting lead @ Proof of Play (proofofplay.gg) developing player-focused games on the blockchain. We're looking to add to our Engineering team in a big way:

The whole C land, including build tools, old unix utils, is a security mess waiting to be exploited, and it's going to be exploited. Just look how easy it's to break everything with a single dot. It's time people realize we can't bet the world's security on C.

Please use Ada or Rust with modern tooling.
The DIA is the military's intellgience agency, presumably reporting on military capabilities, plans, etc.

> the DIA isn't above the rest of the alphabet soup agencies in the hierarchy, hence it cannot just report on the activities of the other agencies itself.

None of the others are either, afaik. The only intelligence organization above the rest is the Director of National Intelligence, whose job is to ~ oversee and coordinate the intelligence community.
That's not what you said. You said that if the US attempted to enforce US law on a multinational US company, that company would reincorporate somewhere outside of US jurisdiction. Obviously, no.

perhaps the goal is to cause general distrust and chaos rather than back a particular candidate. Biden hasn't pulled back from the trade war either.

Reading a supporter describe Biden as a "Satanist pedophile" would much more likely (I think and hope) go against Trump as being unhinged.

There isn't any difference between the guano graphene and the non-guano graphene in terms of structure -- look at figures 1 and 2. Figure 2A is clearly 4 of the same spectra because thermal exfoliation in the presence of guano doesn't create a materially different graphene than not in the presence of guano.

The rest of the paper is poking fun at all of the referenced papers that just have inconsistent electrochemical experimental setups that produce apparently increased electrocatalytic effects.

In Linux, simple knocking (fixed sequences of ports) can be done entirely in the kernel with nftables rules. Probably could even have different knock ports based on day of the week or hour or source IP.

Of course, you may get different results with another dataset.

gzip (zlib -6) [ratio=32%] [compr=35Mo/s] [dec=407Mo/s]

zstd (zstd -2) [ratio=32%] [compr=356Mo/s] [dec=1067Mo/s]

NB1: The default for zstd is -3, but the table only had -2. The difference is probably small. The range is 1-22 for zstd and 1-9 for gzip.

NB2: The default program for gzip (at least with Debian) is the executable from zlib. With my workflows, libdeflate-gzip iscompatible and noticably faster.

NB3: This benchmark is 2 years old. The latest releases of zstd are much better, see https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases

For a high compression, according to this benchmark xz can do slightly better, if you're willing to pay a 10× penalty on decompression.

xz -9 [ratio=23%] [compr=2.6Mo/s] [dec=88Mo/s]

zstd -18 [ratio=25%] [compr=3.6Mo/s] [dec=912Mo/s]
You are right, I just tested this out and my speed from BLAS to OpenBLAS went from 6 GFLOP/s to 150 GFLOP/s. I can only imagine what BLIS and MKL would give. I apologize for my ignorance. Apparently my faith in the compilers was wildly misplaced.

Yes and no. While the author can specify an attribution notice, the GPL limits it to being relayed amongst “appropriate legal notices” - these typically appear in an EULA or About screen. Otherwise an “inappropriate” attribution requirement could be misused to prevent modification of certain parts of the work.

As for the issue with CC, GPLv3 gives a 30 day grace period for rectifying violations which obviates many potential troll issues.
After implementing import tariffs, a country should be using that advantage in order to build up its own manufacturing capabilities. The United States does not seem to be doing that particularly well. Maybe China believes that the US is so dysfunctional and so dependent on Chinese imports that tariffs would not make any difference.
pretty much this.

That's why for whatever anyone thinks of Theo's antics, I appreciated the OpenSSL/LibreSSL Valhalla blogs and overall effort to do something about it.

TBH I'm amazed in it's current state that Apache took in Pekko(FKA JVM Akka...), part of me is guessing it's because some of their other infra is dependent on it...

> People really overestimate how many people need to know these things

If there's a giant friggin' third-party endpoint feeding your engine a firehose of data that the firm's whole business relies on, everyone will know about it.

These systems are held together with spit and bailing wire, everything breaks all the time, everything's idiosyncrasies have to be worked around all the time, and all of the component behaviors have to be well-documented for integration and testing and release and design purposes.

This might fly in a small shop, not so much in one with thousands and tens of thousands of eyes involved. The bigger you get, the harder it is to keep a secret.

One should not assume a linear relationship with technological progress and employment. Just because people find substitutes for work at a certain rate doesn’t mean this will continue. The rate of finding a suitable substitute will plummet, and I will tell you why.

As technology becomes more intelligent, the human comparative advantage shrinks. But what is likely to happen? Don’t look to the past. Look at the fundamentals of the system dynamics.

Consider an analogy. The differential equation that governs blackbody radiation depends on the difference between the object and the environment. Similarly, a person’s earning capability is proportional to the difference between their capability and the next best option. As the next best option gets better and better, the human differential advantage craters.

Max Tegmark uses the metaphor of a rising ocean to signify the ever greater capabilities of intelligent machines.

AI isn’t just coming for low-skilled jobs. It isn’t just supplementing
knowledge work. AI will take more and more intellectually demanding jobs. This arguably doesn’t even require AGI. This just requires industry deploying capable AI’s that can do enough tasks to replace humans one industry at a time.

So people that have an ownership stake in these AIs will do fine.

My take: The others should demand a universal basic income. How do we find ways to allow people to live good lives? People that weren’t lucky enough to be born into the right places in society don’t deserve to be displaced by AI.

If you read the AI literature, I’m not alone in what I’ve said above.

Granted, I’m also not offering particular time frames and not covering all future scenarios. But what I’m saying is more considered than the usual default ‘reasoning’ you hear people say.
Just stopped working on a basic multiplayer quiz, because the project got me a bit too absorbed.

The frontend is in TypeScript (swc compiler) using web components and no libs. Experience has been good so far.

The quiz is specified in xml that maps one-to-one with the web components, and backed by an xsd. Shell scripts written in C for cross-platform support (as simple as `#!/usr/bin/tcc -run` at the top and chmod +x in Linux (if you ignore the fact that x-platform C is hard, since you've only got libc)).

The backend is in C, compiled with tcc and using wsServer for websockets, protobuf for a binary wire protocol and sqlite for managing game state (enabling the server to crash and continue after restart). Can be compiled on Windows with a win32 pthread layer I extracted from mingw (for tiny c compiler ofcourse).

Which is also why I had to stop myself: My own projects tend to get out of hand with way too many interesting side quests.
Encrypting the payload will allow you to get by more scanners and in general make the traffic harder to notice. Since the publicly available server code needs to be able to decrypt the payload there is no way to make it completely secure, so this seems like a good tradeoff that prevents passive naive monitoring from triggering while not being more complicated than necessary.

The only real improvement that I can see being made would be adding perfect forward secrecy so that a logged session couldn't be decrypted after the fact. But that would likely add a lot of complexity (I think you need bidirectional communication?)

Thank you for the insightful feedback, troydavis. VSDECO is indeed computationally intensive, as it requires significant processing power to manipulate images with the level of detail and quality that users expect.

I agree with you; it's a great idea to provide users with a selection of real room photos to experiment with different styling options, without the need to create an account immediately. This approach allows potential users to experience the capabilities of the service firsthand and see the value it can offer. I am going to build this feature to help you and others in the same situation as you. I really appreciate your suggestion.

Hope that it will helps users decide better and improve the overall satisfaction.
So on the one hand libsystemd provides what both you and the manual page describe as "useful" functionality for implementing this feature, but on the other you're implying that Debian shouldn't have used it to do what it's designed for?

Maybe libsystemd shouldn't provide sd_notify then, if you're not supposed to use it?

you are not the customer. The customer is whoever is buying the data you have generated.

You just happen to be the one getting a "discount" on the hardware, enough for you to choose data-gathering devices over more expensive devices on the open market.
Why is this both free and closed source? Ideally, when you advertise privacy-first, I’d like to see a GitHub link with real source code. Or I’d rather pay for it to ensure you have a financial incentive to not sell my data.

float x = 0x1p-8; // x = 1.0/256
printf("x = %g\n", x); // prints 0.00390625

// define a floating point literal in decimal and print it in various ways
float y = 0.3; // non-representable, rounded to closest float
printf("y = %g\n", y); // 0.3 (the %g format does some heuristics)

Yep. This is the average societal memory horizon. The absolute cultural memory horizon tends to be roughly 250 years (10 generations) as that's about when most civilizations fail. At least once every generation, there is a moral or cultural test event that pushes that civilization writ large closer to disorder or makes it stronger by recovery, preparedness, and prevention.
Sprints are essential to software development because they make underperformers much easier to fire. With long deadlines, a straggler can take their time and evade detection by management for months if not years, but with sprint commitments to which devs are held accountable on a consistent, fast cadence, stragglers can be easily found and eliminated.
