And then crypto-sign each transaction with an enormously expensive proof-of-work function because you don't trust anyone wearing a suit and then blindly go all-in on this new "blockchain" being the solution to every problem and then get scammed all the way up your own asshole by believing your own bullshit, and then beg those people in suits to fix it for you like a housecat begging for food from their owner they just scratched the shit out of, and be confused that they can't fix everything for you this time because you intentionally cut them out of the system. It's foolproof!
>I do someting like this quite a bit. If I deem it's easier to do it myself than to instruct or supervise someone else doing it, I do it myself. This is quite often the case. I don't see how doing it the harder way would somehow help with not burning out.

You will most likely always be more efficient than the people who are less senior/just starting out. So then: when do you decide it's worth it to help those less senior team members become more efficient? Will you ever want to delegate? My experience was probably unique, but this kind of management style 1) undermines my work/communicates a lack of trust, and 2) communicates that you're not willing to invest in other people. But maybe the difference is that I was being explicitly delegated work, having my boss complete it unbeknownst to me, and then just getting silence.

I mean, the blog post was about a pedagogically better suited construction of trig functions. If we allow negative side lengths, it's not really going to be intuitive anymore. At this point, you might just as well use the power series definition (or the one based on the complex exp function) since it makes things easy to prove.

While the other comments are correct, I was alluding to a more subtle attack where you might try to indirectly influence the training of an LLM. Effectively, if OpenAI is crawling the open web for data to use for training, then if they don't handle sites like this properly their training dataset could be biased towards whatever content the site contains. Now in this instance this website was clearly not set up target an LLM, but model poisoning (e.g. to insert backdoors) is an active area of research at the intersection of ML and security. Consider as a very simple example the tokenizer of previous GPTs that was biased by reddit data (as mentioned by other comments).
> The large incumbents would simply poach away key people and have that R&D in a month!

This reads to me like those key people have no incentive to stay after applying their knowledge to the org.
The preprocessing that you need is (in Lucene nomenclature, but it's the same principle for search in general) an Analyzer (the component, which knows to prepare the plain text that gets inside for storing it in an index and the corresponding component for a search query) made for code search. That's not different from analyzers for other languages (Stemming sucks for almost everything but English). Thinking about it .. the frontend of most compilers for a language could maybe make a pretty good Analyzer. It already knows language specific components and can split them into parts it needs for further processing, which is basically what an analyzer does.
> That means saving a bit of money on the panels in return for lower efficiency is never a good deal.

This does not at all logically follow from your proceeding statement. Cheaper solar panels mean they can be used in different ways with different labour/land/wiring/inverters/grid connection/maintenance requirements.

If I got a message that said:

“Apple detected that you are being targeted by a mercenary spyware attack that is trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID -xxx-,” it wrote in the warning to affected customers."

I would assume it's fake, part of some phishing scam. How can we know something like this is real? I'd be even more likely to think it's fake if it looks different than all the other messages I get.

Edited to add: As a comment below pointed out if you "sign in to appleid.apple.com" it'll confirm, which even I would trust! Thanks to quitit for pointing that out.

Probably higher skill and cost throughout the full integration that there's no business/market incentive toward it and we can't rely on the state to check and curb every business toward radical ecological change

It's easy to dream up rules and government mandates or budget items, which would be more directly interesting if we lived in an actual democracy (no matter what country on earth today) but rather we have to understand why state and business as we've enabled them to operate structurally would ever work toward those directives, and not just to an appeasingly greenwashed extent. And then think what other tools are available to us besides voting and waiting, given all that. Don't we all know devops here? Where's the structural analysis and systemically-impacting follow-up discussion? Instead people talk about the quality of individual masters and operators
There is some efficiency loss: capital was deployed less efficiently than it would have otherwise been, and that costs money, which means it costs lives.

Depending on the particularities of the corruption/fraud, that could be in the millions, could be in the billions. So anywhere from one human life to thousands. It's just diffuse, so we can't pinpoint a particular person who died due to it, just society at large.

I don't think you can make generalizations like that from one case.

Given the nature of one-party states, it is plausible that the hammer swung hard on her because she was at the losing end of some power struggle, or closely associated with some high politician who lost in a power struggle.
In these countries, you reward your agents heavily when they get you into power. Likewise, when you’re in power, you whack your opposition’s agents. These tools are just weapons in a political struggle usually.

Seeing how the US operates, I believe the same happens here, but in a much more sophisticated manner using tools available for those channels (allocating no-bid contracts, Supreme Court seats, issuing laws to protect incumbents).

Unlike the US, where the battle lines are static because defenders are well entrenched, many of these countries have political wars that involve far reaching forays into each others’ territory so they get to whack crucial lieutenants of the other side.
> …which would then mean it's not a web component and just typical SSR.

SSR doesn't mean that you can't use web component frameworks, just that the framework must be able to both (1) produce and manipulate DOM in the browser as output, and (2) render the same components into HTML strings on the server. I believe frameworks with this capability are categorized as "isomorphic" frameworks.

Enhance WASM essentially makes Web Components an isomorphic component framework, with a bonus (for some) of not having to use a server-side JavaScript runtime.
You’re leaving out a lot of countries that impose death penalties for non-violent acts that are victimless and not even crimes in the West.

For example adultery and apostasy:

“The following countries impose the death penalty for adultery: Afghanistan, Brunei,[1] Iran, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan[citation needed], Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Qatar.”

”As of July 2020, apostasy by Muslims (ridda) carries the death penalty in the following countries: Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, the Maldives, Mauritania, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia (implicitly), the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.”

This is the height of state-sanctioned barbarism left in today’s world.

That's only if Signal and Whatsapp actually took any good lessons from WJCE. Both handle the difficult identity issue with the comparison of huge numbers just like with PGP. Usability studies have shown that this has worked out about as well as one might expect[1]. Worse, both cheerfully allow the use of unauthenticated correspondents without any particular warning to the user. WHCE identified the root issue as a failure to create and impart the required concepts to use the system. Signal/Whatsapp completely fail at this, instead the user is provide with a sense of security that is not warranted.

The PGP using community as least recognised that there was a problem. When has anyone ever organized a Signal/Whatsapp key comparison party?

Patents IMO work better when it's a physically instantiated implementation of a very specific task. The big issue is where we've gone with software patents that are little more than "a server talks to another server and requests information from a database". Those implementations are extremely vague and cover way too much ground. Like the game patent that covered the entire idea of having a playable game during a loading screen or at least pretended to and the idea of fighting it was too expensive to bother trying to force the issue.
There was a NYT article recently asking this very same question[1] with some background information about the pecularities specific to NYC which make the problem more complex. Obviously, this could be fixed, but would likely meet with fierce resistance from many constituents.

No, one of his other interviews he delved a bit more into it with examples, things like puzzles and quizzes like start at the North Pole, move south 1km, left 2km and up 1km. Where are you and how did you work that out? His point was there's spatial reasoning among other things happening. It's not purely a vision thing, or a language thing. There's a deeper world understanding there than just language can convey. He raised some similar points about image and video generation how they failed to produce meaningful results with a similar approach. I think it was his latest lex fridman interview. Was pretty interesting. Definitely raised some strong points.

Having written some patents that has not been my experience.

For example, this is one of the patents in the lawsuit:

https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/67/67/7c/1299b0c...

This patent includes network diagrams, actual C data structure, technical terminology galore, etc, etc. It's got a ton more implementation details versus, for example, a scientific publication on this topic.

Like, seriously, it's got 20+ page of this technical implementation details and not bland lawyer jargon:

>The second redirection mechanism, which is specified as a future extension of NDTP is having the server return an NDTP RDR RSP message in response to an NDTP request for which the NDTP server has no ownership of the supplied identifier string.

"in the old days", books on computer graphics used to be full on "rasterization" techniques - how to convert high-level shapes, whether lines, polygons, circles/ellipses or other curves to pixels, minimising errors while maximising speed.

Much of that has gone out in favour of "engines" - how to program shaders to do transforms of all sorts.

While the latter is a big part of what "makes cool graphics cool", it also leaves a gap ... that "immediacy" between the image/shape and the discrete representation in memory is gone.

> Corruption purges in Leninist states are always political... How aggressively CEOs get prosecuted, does depend on the executive investigating and prosecuting offenders, and whether Congress wants to pass stricter laws

Do you have a source for these ideas, or are they your own? I can't speak for everyone of course but for myself and any of the many people I've had in-depth conversations with, none of us generally wonder how embezzlement happened in the first place, regardless of length, instead we marvel at the utter lack of any consequences for the convicted individual. In this way the state's power is far, far more illegitimized by the fact that it's apparently fine with people stealing incredible sums of money either from itself or from it's citizens and seems content to levy meaningless fines on the perpetrator after the fact, if even that.

(or, in my leftier and more conspiratorial groups, that the weakness of the state to prosecute financial crimes is a direct result of the system being designed by rich people to facilitate the activities of other rich people, but I digress)

The only ones in recent memory I can recall are Sam Bankman-Fried, which is still ongoing, and Elizabeth Holmes, both of whom seemed to have committed the proper crime of stealing from other rich people, whereas the ones who steal from the working/middle class are left largely untouched. A coincidence I'm sure. Where Government funds land in terms of "is this rich people's money or poor people's money" is up to the reader of the comment to determine, that one's prosecution rate does seem to trend more political, as tons of incredibly wealthy people are milking the government cow for absolutely mind-bending amounts of money and delivering basically nothing.

> One interpretation, is that the American state, does not feel the need to demonstrate its authority in such a dramatic way.

Maybe it should feel that need, since the lion's share of it's population on either side of the political spectrum thinks of the government as largely a joke. But they've also dis-empowered us to such a degree that our opinion on them largely doesn't matter anyway, so, on it goes.

Mine too. Our ISPs didn’t build their infrastructure as though each customer would be maxing out their connection at all times. It does mean they have a good idea of how fat their pipes need to be to support the traffic loads they see on their graphs. Then they buy enough capacity to meet those needs, plus some safety margin.

For instance, if all customers had 1Gb service and peak usage on their end is everyone streaming Netflix at 40Mbps at 8PM, it would be prohibitively expensive for them to buy the capacity to support every customer downloading at 1Gb simultaneously when 40Mb is only 4% of that.

I would probably benefit from sticking with it further, but I am doing this for fun rather than to become a technically amazing illustrator.
