Ah, but that is the beauty of it you see. You can then also sell a medication to counter the heart damage..

Beyond the sarcasm, it is concerning that most comments read here are raving about how much of a positive effect this cure could have. From a quick scroll, I haven't seen any addressing the fact that a new pill is not helping solve the cause of the problem.

We, as a society, have absolutely no reason to be obese. Yet, we choose to ignore the root of the problem, and cheer on the palliative chemical solutions. These solutions inevitably come we serious health side effects that we accept without blinking, as the most natural thing. And the industry also cheers as they can now also sell a second cure to address the side effects of the fist cure.

It shouldn't be forgotten that the pharmaceutical industry is, fist of all, a business.

That’s because it is clickbait. Self awareness doesn’t even have a proper testable definition much less verified proof via experiments that wouldn’t immediately be questioned as philosophically fraught.

That’s not to say I don’t personally believe the existence of self awareness in other animals - I do. I just think the bar is incredibly high for actually proving it.

The gamma emission would have to re-excite other atoms in a cascade to create a laser. Since the exciting energy is UV, not gamma => no cascade amplification.

A "wavelength converter" might be possible.

PS: Are you sure it's gamma emission? That takes more energy than the exciting UV photon.

Mine as well. After understanding the meaning thanks to the other posters, the sentence magically looked fine. But before knowing the meaning, it was gibberish.

If Arm SystemReady laptops with good performance/watt have an open security foundation (declarative, immutable OS at EL2) to support multiple competing "app store" equivalents on Linux, the resulting revenue and competitive market can reward innovative desktop software - open, closed or hybrid. Without an Apple tax on storage and memory, funds can be redirected to a competitive market of smaller ISVs.

'New car' being the operative term there. Also note that I said out of touch with people who are struggling. No one who's truly struggling to get by is going to be buying a new car and certainly not at those prices.

To clarify further, my response is primarily aimed at the idea that the op couldn't even understand why people would need the government to help pay for things and pre-supposes the idea that all of us can afford $10k per year on a car.

You surely understand how this isn't a compelling argument at all, right?

If you have a bug in your X-Ray software and it irradiates patients but you say you don't have the knowledge or resources to fix it, it doesn't suddenly become a way out of fixing it.

This will be a slam dunk of a case. There are many obvious paths that OpenAI can follow, such as stopping business in the EU or preventing it from giving any fact about any person.

148nm is on the lower end of UV-C. It's higher-energy than the furthest ultraviolet light that the sun produces (200nm). If it were produced artificially, it'd be heavily absorbed by the atmosphere to the point of near opacity. If the visible spectrum was an octave, where the "tone" of a color wrapped around from red back to blue the way G wraps to A, it'd be the blue one octave above visible blue.

Excuse my bias, as I work for IPinfo. Rolling your own bot detection service is something you should explore if you want near-absolute coverage.

We intentionally do not provide an IP reputation service as many sophisticated bots mimic the "good reputational" aspect of IP addresses. Usage of residential connections or essentially being vetted by CDN/cloud services makes making bot detection ambiguous.

That is why we provide accurate IP metadata information. Whenever you detect patterns of bot-like behavior, look up the metadata such as privacy service usage, ASN, or assigned company, and then start blocking them via the firewall.

No, you'd have to take all the profit of all the companies in the country and divide that by the number of citizens. That would be true socialism. Like a kibbutz in Israel. IMO it is as much utopia as 100% free market capitalism. Almost everywhere you have something in between, including in the US.

Most likely the circumstance they got the Japanese NCO to write the text in was a conversation about learning Japanese and how to write it too. Nobody is deliberately trying to stop them from learning to write, they are most likely in favour of it, the trickiness was just around avoiding the Japanese running the camp from noticing their interest in workshops specifically. If stroke order is important in this context then I expect the Japanese NCO showing them the characters would have told them and explained the proper order.

Seriously, though, I've had the Windows Defender thing happen to freshly compiled binaries I made. The only way to prevent it from happening is to sign your binaries, or submit them individually to Microsoft using your Microsoft account for malware analysis.

It flagged the binary as being some sort of trojan (which name I looked up and found that it was a Windows Defender designation for "I don't know the provenance of this binary so I'm going to assume it's bad") and quarantined it.
> Programs should simply bundle their dependencies.

awww. i don't think it's OK in any way to download libc6/msvcrt as many times as I download __any__ software. even more, is there a strong difference between dependency and runtime environment? if sensible people does not bundle the whole python distribution to a "stuff.py" then why bundle libopenssl.so to a webserver application?

IMO, a saner approach would be just not to confuse dependencies: appX depends on libY 1.9; appZ depends on libY 2.0; people are quick to declare that appX and appZ are incompatibe as they can not run on the same system due to "conflicting dependencies". but who said you have to seach libY in /usr/lib*/libY.so? if you need different versions of a lib, just install them in separate dirs and make your apps find the right one (eg. by setting RPATH or versioned .so filenames).

I was about to write that surely, that only applies to the OCR section printed on the physical passport, but if I read ICAO 9303 correctly, it's the other way round - the OCR section can include either a four-digit year or a two-digit year, but the chip has only six bytes for the date of birth, representing YYMMDD in digits (plus special characters for an unknown or partially known date of birth).

Edit: apparently there's an optional section in the chip (data group 11 or DG11) that allows for longer-form data than the ancient machine-readable format, including non-latin letters in the name and a birthdate including the century. I don't know how widely used that is though.
We've seen numerous stories at this point about lawyers trusting AI to generate case documents that turned out to have false cites - AI generated scientific papers are being published. Doctors are using AI. Law enforcement is using AI. Everyone is using it and a lot of people are using it with the assumption that it's intelligent and factual. That it works like the computer from Star Trek. People on this very forum who should know better have said they trust AI more than they trust themselves and more than other people.

AI probably has a niche where it's useful, but because it smells like a magic money machine that will allow managers to replace employees and create value from essentially nothing, modern capitalism dictates we must optimize our entire economy around it, no holds barred, damn the torpedos and full speed ahead because "money." I just hope the fever breaks before people start getting killed.

While the article fails to explain why deadly incidents seems to rise in the west, the graph show another interesting point: Russia. They have had, and still have, more deadly accidents than the west, but their rates still drop, while in the west the trend is inverted here and there.

Well, people in Russia move by car, much, and they tend to be not exactly modern cars with ADAS, they have smartphones as well, perhaps in some spread area they use them less, but most deadly accidents happen in not-so-spread areas simply because of number of people on the road. Roads mean condition and climate does not help. They have business as well...

Long story short, still unproved, but maybe the west inversion is due to people less and less able to drive, not to business or big SUV/light trucks. Indeed we can see young less and less good at driving, at least here in EU. So far we have not seen except in very rare cases ads in cars or other new-and-distracted infotainment, at least not hyper-recently, touchscreens distracts, but they are not that new. So...

In fact I noticed 10 years after the publishing when I tried to run the applet that it didn't even run because the compiler of that time had generated invalid byte code (not caught by the JVM) or that the source code itself was invalid and that had not been caught by the compiler.

I always wondered why law didn't rely more in mathematics to regulate such dynamics. It is trivially easy to describe a formula which gives you a tax that doesn't impact the many have-nots while preventing perverse accumulation and still leaving enough slack in the middle to incentivise people to take part in a market. And anyone who disagrees: you can tweak the formula to any cutoff point, you can make it grow linear, logarithmic or exponential etc.

That being said, things like your solutions should always come with thorough check by a red team. E.g. what about the rich guy just forming a new company per property to evade that tax? So maybe it is smarter to bind that to an actual owner person. How will the shape of houses change if their count gets important (that could be how we get these cyberpunk-megabuildings)? Maybe it should be about rental units instead (or some other clever definition)?

Sometimes I wonder if the best solution wouldn't be to prevent companies from owning housing alltogether..

I think it’s pretty unlikely that they are instantly finetuning back on the feedback in this case without filtering and deduplicating. If only because it’s fairly well known to degrade results.
Looks like you're back 'online'?
But this is sad to hear. I run a service that compares domain name prices (https://dot.bs if you're curious), and maybe it would be good to include something like a 'reliability' score or something per extension (ie registry).

I see (on https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db) that Radix also operates .fun, .host, .press, .site, .space, .store, .tech, .uno, and .website. So those could get some indication to start with.
Does anyone know of any other 'less reliable' registries..?

This is not “the media”. noyb isn’t reporting on what other people did, they are informing us of what they just did.

The article isn’t about the failings of ChatGPT, it’s about a specific legal complaint being made.

It’s acceptable in a legal sense, you get a bad grade and that’s that. But falsehoods about a particular individual on a popular resource could be quite damaging and are against EU law.

You declare bankruptcy and walk away, more or less without serious consequences so long as you were not deliberately fraudulent. You may have trouble getting another loan or conversely you may find it easier now that you have relatively more experience than before.

Germany in particular takes a moralistic approach to finances that IMO harms the economy quite a bit and constrains entrepreneurship to the well connected and already established. You are only supposed to start businesses that succeed.

In reality money is not a real thing, money is numbers in a computer database that we collectively signal and coordinate the economic activity and utilization of the resources that hold the real value. As such a certain amount of default well above zero is optimal to maximize the amount of real world value being generated.
> That is you can use a rough estimate of 40%

No. But it's complicated ... For example, income tax is charged on the employee, after the employer has been charged employer/social fees of 30-40%. And then, sale of most goods are charged ~20% VAT.

The total taxation pressure "per hour worked" is far above 40%.
Once I actually wrote a version in Emacs Lisp, for purposes of being able to run stacks that depended on .env configuration in Emacs buffers.
But translation units / small .cc files can build in parallel and cached, and with multi-core thus it's desirable to have many small translation units. Except of course when there's eventually one large translation unit that needs everything and then link time dominates ...

The article emphasizes a common issue about headers.. X-Code and Visual Studio work around this to some extent with pre-compiled headers, something that can be really hard to set up in ccache. If Figma's whole team is using macs (they mention getting everybody macbooks?) then I wonder if they could just switch to X-Code and use built-in pch support. While that introduces a dependency on X-Code :( maybe their whole C++ stack will get effectively re-written in the next couple of years anyways?
> That process is probabilistic and measured in half-lives

That sounds contradictory to me.
It depends on what you're doing. Doubles are still slower than floats due to twice bigger requirements imposed on memory performance & cache size. So if you doing a "calculator" style of work, there's not much difference, but if you're processing large arrays of data, it's still something you should think of.
synchronization of compute across data centers is something I've used atomic clocks for, precision and cost are an issue.

Previously I paid for OpenAI's GPT4 but stopped b/c responses kept getting worse to the same prompts.

Both for personal and professional, I use Google alongside it. Some use cases:

- Reading and 'talking' through the last 6 - 12 months of blood and urine tests, understanding risk factors, optimisation areas, and also telling it which supplements I take for more custom responses.

- Initial niche discovery and exploration

- Brand name readability and perception
("I'm considering these 5 brand names, add 10 more ideas and give me a SWOT breakdown for each, ordered by most to least appealing for a worldwide non-English audience.")
