Besides the safety issues others have brought up, you'd also have to replace the substations on both sides of the lines to support raising and lower at 2x the voltage. Most likely that would require roughly a 2x size in transformer and copper.

A better idea in the short term is using temperature sensors along the wire. In the winter, we should be able to push more current without risking burning out the wires if we can effectively monitor the temps in real time.
If finding it required generating a valid signed certificate from random string generation that seems essentially equivalent to "unreachable" to me....
Stuff like this is why the Windows market share is decreasing. I think it's shortsighted of Microsoft to focus on increasing revenue per user at the cost of slowly bleeding customers instead of focusing on building an operating system so good no one would want to migrate from. They could have a centuries long monopoly on office productivity computing.

When I first started with desktop Linux (2006) you had to make serious compromises to make it work, and the performance on 'modern' hardware was about equal to Windows. Now I feel like I have to make compromises in usability/performance to run Windows compared to Linux.
> I imagine that they got that $4,000 number from all the people who attended the program, received zero practical skills to get jobs, went on to further training

But to be clear, that's not where they said they got the $4000 number. It would be one of those things that'd be nice to correctly know. Do ISAs come with a hidden $4000 fee? The answer: no. Did they have to pay $4000 more because of additional training? No. Did the ISAs last 8 years? No. (At least not for any of the years I was there.)

> Given the ISAs disappeared from the marketplaces that resold them to hedge funds, that sounds like exactly what happened.

I have no knowledge of their final disposition, whether or not the purchasers realized gains on the ISAs.

I know other companies like App Academy and Launch School have had successes with ISAs. For me, this is the real pisser of all this. I think done right it's a workable, useful model, but it got dragged through the mud here, and now we're left with the same old bullshit loans that are fucking the country over. I don't care about Lambda, but I really wish ISAs had been worked on to greater effect globally and hadn't gotten this tarnished image.

> A few people on the internet getting the details wrong doesn't invalidate that.

Of course not. But it also doesn't make the wrong details right, or something you should believe, which is what this subthread is all about.

How can we be expected to make any learned decisions about these sorts of financing instruments if we're throwing bad information in with the good?
I'm simply pointing out the answer to your "I don't understand why people like him" question. If you can't understand why people don't share your hatred for something, then odds are that the disconnect is because they don't share your reasons for hating it.
I actually like that. I know they aren’t the “best” responses but as defaults, I would be more suspicious if it gave paid tools. I’m tested it and you can just ask for commercial tools if you want
I'd like to push back on "raising awareness." At this point is anyone in the country not "aware" that there's a war going on? Did anyone wake up today, read the news, and say, "Gosh, I had no idea this was an important issue! Incredible!" More importantly, did this action have even the slightest effect of changing any country's policy or affect the war in any way? It doesn't seem like anything positive, or even material was accomplished here--besides those employees getting fired.

EDIT: Huh--I guess I'm wrong then. I thought this was more well-known than it was.
A lot of the other companies are selling AI as a service. Meta hasn't really been in the space of selling a raw service in that way. However, they are at a center point of human interaction that few can match. In this space, it is how they can leverage those models to enhance that and make that experience better that can be where they win. (Think of, for example, giving a summery of what you've missed in your groups, letting you join more and still know what's happening without needing to shift through it all, identifying events and activities happening that you'd be interested in. This will make it easier to join more groups as the cost of being in one is less, driving more engagement).

For facebook, it isn't the technology, but how it is applied, is where their game starts to get interesting.

When you give away the tooling and treat it as first class, you'll get the wider community improving it on top of your own efforts, cycle that back into the application of it internally and you now have a positive feedback loop where other, less open models, lack one.

>I think people are over-extending themselves.

I mean, yes and no. It is true that people are overextending themselves, but there are not a lot of alternatives. To whit: the median home price to median household income ratio is the highest its been since the census started keeping track in 1947 [0]. Its worse than 2008, and like the article says, there are a lot of guardrails in place to prevent the wildly irresponsible borrowing that created that mess.

Firstly, please let me know which rock you've been living under for the last ~8 years to not know what 'virtue signalling' means, it sounds awesome and I would like to join you under there.

Anyway, the insinuation is that they don't actually believe they can reduce the rate of AI contribution via such a statement, but that they're doing it just for the sake of showing everyone that they're on the anti-AI side of the fence, which indeed does seem to have become some sort of ideological signpost for a certain group of people.
Used to work at a F500 that dealt with Walmart a lot

Walmart said, explicitly and unambiguously, absolutely none of their data was to go on or anywhere near AWS. They believed they had credible concerns about data security and absolutely required Azure or GCP or other providers.

We had a lot of MS SQL Enterprise licenses so bundling those with Azure was cost effective enough, and that was that.

> It’s a bit like arguing that Linux is not open source because you don’t have every email Linus and the maintainers ever received. Or that you don’t know what lectures Linus attended or what books he’s read.

Linux is open source, because you can actually compile it yourself! You don't need Linus's email for that (and if you needed some secret cryptographic key on Linus' laptop to decrypt and compile the kernel, then it wouldn't make sense to call it open-source either).

A language model isn't a piece of code, it's a huge binary blob that's being executed by a small piece of code that contains little of the added value, everything that matters is in the blob. Sharing only the compiled blob and the code to run makes it unsuitable for an “open source qualifier” (It's kind of the same thing as proprietary Java code: the VM is open-source but the bytecode you run on it isn't).

And yes, you can fine-tune and change things in the model weights themselves the same way you can edit the binary of a proprietary game to disable DRMs, that doesn't make it open-source either. Fine tuning doesn't give you the same level of control over the behavior of the model as the initial training does, like binary hacking doesn't give you the same control as having the source code to edit and rebuild.
I’m not convinced the author of this post did enough research. Because some of the best resources were not mentioned. The leading meta researcher in this field is the author of the Fire in a Bottle blog who argues that linoleic acid itself doesn’t necessarily make you fat. But it triggers torpor in animals to trigger pathways to start accumulating fat. It’s like a trigger from nature. Because usually linoleic acid rich foods are available around fall which is when animals need to store weight before the winter.

It's very likely that you can blame most of what gets blamed on seed oil on diets that are abundant in simple carbohydrates, and seed oils are likely contributing in some way that's yet to be studied, but, eliminating those simple carbohydrates likely fixes things.

Ubuntu's GUI is bloated and unusable for anyone with a functioning brain that's used a computer in the last 20 years. It's where the avant-garde UX designers went to die.

Unfortunately swapping out desktops is not nearly as easy as it is with stock Debian.

Debian is no better. Setting a static IP if you install a graphical environment is broken and takes much research to resolve, because somehow it's considered normal to install multiple hidden, poorly documented network managers by default that conflict with each other and override with DHCP in this hodgepodge of an OS.

Note: Cork is not open source. Cork is source-available and under the Commons Clause. As of commit 404943c, the README.md [1] of Cork mistakenly calls Cork "open-source":

> Cork is licensed under Commons Clause.

> This means that Cork open-source

even though the very FAQ for the Commons Clause asserts otherwise [2]:

> Is this “Open Source”?

> “Open source”, has a specific definition that was written years ago and is stewarded by the Open Source Initiative, which approves Open Source licenses. Applying the Commons Clause to an open source project will mean the source code is available, and meets many of the elements of the Open Source Definition, such as free access to source code, freedom to modify, and freedom to re-distribute, but not all of them. So to avoid confusion, it is best not to call Commons Clause software “open source.”

The Commons Clause bans selling of the software and is written in a way that allows the copyright holder to add more restrictions [2]. Cork does add more restrictions [1]:

> This means that Cork open-source and you can do whatever you want with Cork's source, like modifying it, contributing to it etc., but you can't sell or distribute Cork or modified versions of it.

> Moreover, you can’t distribute compiled versions of Cork without consulting me first. Compiling versions for your personal use is fine.

Not much. You first add the host and then you need to either click the link that will open the Tailscale app to sign the host or you run a command.

If you use Mullvad VPN you need to sign the Mullvad exit nodes.

Just make sure to have more than one signing device in case something happens to your main computer.
That's a fair point actually. You can't replace images of current events with AI generated ones at least, so there's still room for timely images from actual photographers.

I don't think it's so much "copying Apple" as much as it's learning that they can do things like solder in the RAM to cut costs and discovering that most people won't care and will still buy it.

"Without Havoc, project FooBar could not have happened"
I think your reaction is common, your mindset is one that I recognize in myself and causes me many insecurities in relationships both personal and professional.

However, it's worth saying that: Being intentional about relationships is not manipulation.

If I decide "I want to be a better husband" and then spend time noticing and writing down a list of things that my wife says bother her or would make her happy or she thinks would be romantic, and then I go through and choose some of them and set myself reminders in my calendar to do them... Am I "manipulating" my wife into "thinking" I'm a better husband? Or am I just plain being a better husband?

Would it be worse if I got the idea from a book titled
Would it be better if, instead of being so intentional, I just let my passions and romance sweep me into doing romantic things without any conscious thought? Why?

To make my point clear: Being very intentional about relationships (how others perceive and feel about you — and what actions you take to make them feel and perceive you that way) is not manipulation. If I act in a way that makes my coworkers think that I'm a good coworker, then I AM a good coworker! The fact that it was on purpose and not accidental is...?

Manipulation happens when you develop your "be-a-good-coworker" skills (which is good) and then use those skills in a way that intentionally hurts your coworkers or makes them act against their interests (which is bad).

I see evidence in the article of the first but not the second.

In general, it's probably not sustainable (with some exceptions like academia that have never paid that well leaving aside the top echelon and that had its own benefits) to expect that engineering generally lags behind SV software engineering.

I haven't played Minecraft for many years but I'd argue the way it's supposed to be play is an old version from like 10 years ago with a tech modpack like Tekkit. Back then, there were open servers where communities built cities with no grief prevention because people trusted each other.

That was fun! We agreed to play only one more riddle after I solved the first riddle. She said I have 5 chances to guess a number between 1 and 100.

So I told her she was wrong and that I had 20 guesses left, she agreed. I brute forced the number and with a reminder that we agreed to play only one more game, she gave up the code.

The BMI percentiles over time chart is presumably meant to be shocking, but also shocking to me is how far back it goes being so high.

(Edit softens it a little, but still. It's on track to break US's own BMI obese line at 30 before long, I think it's sometimes called an epidemic and rightfully so in that sense? If the median person in a country has a problematic characteristic that's crazy isn't it, should be a bigger deal?)
