Idk training a model like this is kinda trivial for most shops. Afaik there are open source ones that do the same thing. We trained one with similar audio quality to this by accident while working on music generation.
A simple hack used elsewhere is to simply open for voting in select locations a few weeks earlier. If 1/4 or a 1/2 of voters already voted the queues will be much smaller.

Another simple hack is to ensure it’s a Sunday so more people can vote throughout the day and don’t need to vote outside of work hours.

Or let’s vote everyone all at once on a Tuesday and try to solve the queue problem with…math.
In my mind, I see it like you've got a line bisecting another line. You don't know what the angles are until you measure one, and once you measure it, you know for certain what the other angle is, whether that person does or not. But you can't change the angle and you can't send information using them.
You should ask how fast the expansion is.

And, If you break the embargo too many times then you just find out with the rest of us and that's not a great way to run a distro. I believe openbsd is or was in that position around the time of the intel speculative execution bugs.

I tried the ember mug (the open one), it was really only helpful if I had a full mug and I wasn't going to start drinking it for the first 30 minutes after pouring. Once the beverage got low in the glass it no longer mattered and would weirdly dry out or develop a skin. The cup ended up being e-waste I never use.

Double Walled Glass Mug is far better for an open cup experience, when paired with a hot water tank you basically have everything you need for a drink that will stay warm for the entire duration you are drinking it and you don't need to make it ahead of time.

For travel a pre-heated double wall thermos is sufficient, I guess the fully enclosed ember thermos might work in those cases too.

Now consider that your average Linux distribution pulls in tens of thousands of packages, each of which can be similarly compromised. Pretty scary to think about.
Yeah, that seems to be the gist of the entire paper. It's a two year old submission as well, so a bit odd overall.
@people who write github scanners for updates and security issues (dependabot and the like)

Can we start including a blacklist of emails and names of contributors (with reasons/links to discussions)?

I can't track them and I don't want them in my projects.

Might not be very helpful as it is easy to create new identities, but I see no reason to make it easier for them.
Also, I might approach differently someone with lots of contributions to known projects than a new account, so it still helps.
> Debian testing already has a version called '5.6.1+really5.4.5-1' that is really an older version 5.4, repackaged with a newer version to convince apt that it is in fact an upgrade.

You don't need to break the law to get arrested. But the powers-that-be can just pass a law that makes protest illegal, and then what? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65542558 (For clarity: while Amnesty International calls the bill "draconian",[0] the UK has not made all forms of protest illegal for all people. A government could, and many have,[1] but the UK government has not. And while the Met has some pretty serious issues, there's nothing even remotely like the police-violence-against-protestors stuff you see in the US (e.g. Stop Cop City). Indeed, the police in the UK – even the Met – are usually doing their jobs properly! See https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67398933 for a slightly-less-cherrypicked example of Met officers making arrests at a protest.) In the US, many police departments use chemical weaponry – a war crime, if used in war – on unarmed civilian protestors.

If you're following the rules, if you're behaving as you would “on the regular”, it's not a protest.

Regarding climate change, of course people are impatient! We have no way to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, so every month spent waiting is a month where things get permanently worse. It'll be hundreds of years before things start approaching the conditions of the average living person's childhood, and that's if we stop everything now, quickly enough that people will die from lack of infrastructure.

Sure, that's reasonable. Kind of circles back to "a11y" being technical language, which refers to a term of art, "accessibility", which is not identical to the word "accessibility" itself. This is at least part of why it gets used, although the main reason is really that a11y is easy to write and fast to read, while accessibility is neither.

> They are smart enough to make all their grifts "fees" and "interest rates"

That's not fraud or a financial crime though, since the interest rate is prominently shown on the front page of every credit card bill.

If they're telling you it is 6% and then charge you 17% without explanation, that would be fraud.
Uh. systemd documents the protocol at various places and the protocol is trivial: a single text datagram sent to am AF_UNIX socket whose path you get via the NOTIFY_SOCKET. That's trivial to implement for any one with some basic unix programming knowledge. And i tell pretty much anyone who wants to listen that they should just implement the proto on their own if thats rhe only reason for a libsystemd dep otherwise. In particular non-C environments really should do their own native impl and not botjer wrapping libsystemd just for this.

But let me stress two other things:

Libselinux pulls in liblzma too and gets linked into tons more programs than libsystemd. And will end up in sshd too (at the very least via libpam/pam_selinux). And most of the really big distros tend do support selinux at least to some level. Hence systemd or not, sshd remains vulnerable by this specific attack.

With that in mind libsystemd git dropped the dep on liblzma actually, all compressors are now dlopen deps and thus only pulled in when needed.
Also I see this PR:

Depending on how it’s calculated and how California’s educational system is structured, this may include some extreme outliers, like schools attached to correctional institutions, or dedicated schools for those with various physical or mental disabilities.

There also may be a few selective-admittance public schools with well-above-median spending.

As far as money directly spent educating kids in an ordinary school (not shared costs like building construction and maintenance, or utilities) some cost way more than others. A bus-riding kid with an address not that close to any other students with an IEP requiring a tutor to follow them around and help them in every class or a special self-contained classroom serving only a handful of students but requiring 2-3 dedicated staff can cost 5-10x more than a student with no special requirements whose parents drive them to school or who live near what would be a bus-stop regardless of their attendance.

Individual student costs vary a ton, and when averaging over entire systems you also may have extreme outlier institutions throwing off the numbers.

California in particular also has a (much) larger ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) burden than most other states, which will tend both to increase their costs and depress their standardized testing results.

No, I don't assume this. Concepts and understanding can exist independent of language. But sometimes concepts and understanding arise ONLY because of language. I am saying "consciousness" is a specific case of the later.

I agree there's safer languages than C, but nobody reads the 50,000 lines changed when you update the vendoring in a random golang project. It would be easy to introduce something there that nobody notices too.
Agreed. I think the framing of "stealing" is a needlessly pessimistic prediction of how it might be used. If a person owns their own likeness, it would be logical to implement legal protections for AI impersonations of one's voice. I could imagine a popular voice actor scaling up their career by using AI for a first draft rendering of their part of a script and then selectively refining particular lines with more detailed prompts and/or recording them manually.

This raises a lot of complicated issues and questions, but the use case isn't inherently bad.
In my opinion the use case is when your data no longer fits on a single, potentially very large, server. Automatic distribution and replication and rebalancing of data is a tricky problem and something like Cassandra handles those very well.

Or Cockroach DB or similar, if you still need relational capabilities.

Debian packages can have epochs too. I’m not sure why the maintainers haven’t just bumped the epoch here.

Maybe they’re expecting a 5.6.x release shortly that fixes all these issues & don’t want to add an epoch for a very short term packaging issue?
Couldn't the autoconf soup be generated from simpler inputs by the CI/CD system to avoid this kind of problem? Incomprehensible soup as a build artifact (e.g. executables) is perfectly normal, but it seems to me that such things don't belong in the source code.

(This means you too, gradle-wrapper! And your generated wrapper for your generated wrapper. That junk is not source code and doesn't belong in the repo.)
The “everything is a chemical” ‘argument’ is an isolated demand for rigor imo. Everybody can reasonably squint their eyes, assuming good faith, and see that a compound created in a lab that has no nutritional value or is engineered to be overtly addictive (like high fructose corn sirup and what not) or any of the other million things we engineer every day to industrialize the food chain is what is meant by most people when they say “chemical”. And yes, many of these are bad for you, despite the (corporate funded) studies that say otherwise.

I've thought about emergent consciousness a lot over the years.

One area I would question is what the appropriate/relevant measures are for complexity and consciousness.

Is the earth really more complex than a human mind, in the ways that matter?

Presumably consciousness arises from more than the amount of "stuff" in the system.

One person is conscious, but do two people form a collective consciousness? If not, why? They have more links, rules, states, and everything else that a single person would have.

> its hardware isn't really ideal for AI shenanigans

FWIW, I was in the same boat as you and decided to start cheap, old game machines can handle AI shenanigans just fine wirh the right GPU. I use a 2017 workstation (Zen1) and an Nvidia P40 from around the same time, which can be had for <$200 on ebay/Amazon. The P40 has 24GB VRAM, which is more than enough for a good chunk of quantized LLMs or diffusion models, and is in the same perf ballpark as the free Colab tensor hardware.

If you're just dipping your toes without committing, I'd recommend that route. The P40 is a data center card and expects higher airflow than desktop GPUs, so you probably have to buy a "blow kit" or 3D-print a fan shroud and ensure they fit inside your case. This will be another $30-$50. The bigger the fan, the quieter it can run. If you already have a high-end gamer PC/workstation from 2016, you can dive into local AI for $250 all-in.

Edit: didn't realize how cheap P40s now are! I bought mine a while back.
The point of this argument is to compare humans with animals they replaced, not animals with other animals, because the assumption is that we, as humans, are ethically capable of engaging with this kind of question in the first place.

"Measurement" is a terrible word we've been using, along with "observer".

What matters is information propagating from one system to another or, perhaps better, when the superposition has any external effect, then the superposition collapses and the system assumes a classical state.
Are you on stable/testing/unstable?

With our current knowledge, stable shouldn’t be affected by this.
In my experience, it's always come down to either using a specific database type for the wrong job, or using a database type the wrong way.

- Treating an OLAP like an OLTP.

- Using a document store for relational data bc managing relations in SQL is tedious and slows development/progress/features.

- Using OLTP for analytics.

- and so on...

And the usual reaction ensues. Conversations begin about migrating to another product while not really paying attention to interaction patterns and the intent/reason for the various workloads.

Of course such migrations only lead to either...

- Place-shifting the issues, or

- Resolving the issues that lead to the migration while creating new ones that didn't exist before. Workloads that were suited to the existing DB are now mismatched to the new one.

However, Postgres seems to be a pretty safe bet when such migrations are undertaken due to how versatile it is. Personally, I don't care which database is used (within reason of course). Just use the right database type for the job.
A New Roadmap for FedRAMP
Photons, like everything else, travel along the curvature of spacetime (though a physicist has told me that they do have some mass and thus warp spacetime themselves, too), and the speed of light is just how fast spacetime can curve. The faster you go, the more curved it is, and the harder it is to bend it further, but there's a point where you can't bend it any faster than you are because it doesn't go faster.

I found that the voice of the speaker impacts my comprehension quite a lot. Usually lower voices help me.

If I may suggest a French podcast, there used to be history podcast by Jean des Cars "Au coeur de l'histoire" (maybe 5 years ago though). I could listen to him while doing something else and get what he said (I'm native French speaker though). When the speaker changed on the podcast, I remember I had to focus very hard to achieve the same level of understanding.

I had the same phenomenon in English, I used to struggle understanding what the remote team would say on the phone, except one person whose voice what very clear.
