So the vaccine seems to have been approved in the US in 2023, so it's still very new. I assume antibiotics don't do anything against spores, so that is probably not a solution on its own. And I'd be curious what kind of sterilization procedure works for bacterial spores that would be feasible here?
This sounds like when - to protect the American Chestnut from blight - we destroyed nearly all the American Chestnuts and their genetic diversity (including diversity that may have provided resistance).

This is extremely market dependent. In major cities, I've switched back to hotels with good loyalty plans, Hilton is my first preference. Otherwise you're renting a sketchy place on AirBnB. Elsewhere outside of large cities it's typically a better economic choice.

Key quote:

> While Pertsev added functionality to the web interface that allowed legitimate users to separate their funds from those arriving from known criminal addresses, they characterized the effort as “too little and too late.”

I admit it sounds pretty damning to have a UI affordance for “keep my funds separate from the known criminals this service knowingly serves”.

I have little sympathy for those who intentionally increase crime as some kind of political statement, but it seems like maintaining plausible deniability would be very important to those who do so.
SHEIN has experienced explosive growth through obscenely low prices, achieved by exploiting trade rules (de minimis value to offer free shipping), forced labor in manufacturing, ghost shifts, plagiarism, use of garbage materials (incl. cotton alleged to be created via slave labor), and "just in time" manufacturing habits that triple-down on items that sell.[1] Not to mention a gamified app pandering to a very addicted audience (average SHEIN shopper is 35 and spends 60% more than most folks per month on clothes)[2] and seems to have a "I shouldn't have to pay what things cost to manufacture, and whatever I want in my size shouldn't cost me more" attitude re: clothing.

H&M has positioned itself as more of an "eco friendly" and "fair wages" player but as a fast fashion retailer, has had accusations of similar practices in the past.

SHEIN seems a little different due to the nature, scale, and shameless lying infused in their approach. Their actions are orders of magnitude more intense even the grey zone manufacturing practices of Forever 21/Zara. Goes without saying no fast fashion is "ethical" by any stretch, but SHEIN is on another level.

Data point: I'm on Sprint, now T-mobile, and my plan has stayed at exactly the same price in dollars for a decade, despite 30+% inflation over that time and the addition of 5G data.

I realize that's just one data point, but I'm not seeing any problems with pricing.

Ok but that doesn't matter if you can't actually run 400 watts through an M1 Ultra. If you wanna compare how efficient a chip is, sure, that's a great way to test. But you can't make the claim that your chip is as good as a 3090 if the end user is never going to see the performance of an actual 3090
Really incredible business.

Still with a chinese risk, but I believe even for that they've been trying to get less tied to China. It's miles ahead in comparison to PDD, Alibaba and other Chinese firms.

They are the AWS of clothing. Before AWS hosting companies existed, but they sucked and were really limited on how they work, like taking time to boot up servers etc, then AWS came. Similarly, Shein have logistics operations that enable them to ship faster and sort of operate almost like a local brand doing DTC, but with much lower prices and operating costs.

Folks here that typically have no idea about business will likely complain that it's just yet another copycat selling fast fashion, without any knowledge about how it's hard to run the kind of operation that they do and how much logistics they are doing, nor don't understand D2C.

They are so successful that they completely changed the fast fashion landscape. There will be similar companies like it with a similar strategy and this will likely bankrupt the likes of H&M unless they adapt their business model as well.

> The very people who comply with and execute the GDPR consider it to be positive for their company, positive for privacy and not a pointless, bureaucratic regulation.

It's their job to do GDPR, of course they consider it a positive.
That assumes that consistency between viewpoints is actually desirable - part of the charm of 2D animation is that things can be stylized or exaggerated or simplified in ways that don't come naturally in a 3D workflow, where the "default" is for things to fit together realistically and any deviation from that takes additional effort.

If you do want numerous 2D artworks which share a realistically defined 3D space then that can easily be done by making a very rough 3D scene and then painting over it, you don't need any AI for that.
If something sounds like a good idea, NYPD is probably not doing it.

That bit about Golden Rice is a crock.

I'm not saying it couldn't play a positive role or that I think it is dangerous, but there are (1) many ways to get Vitamin A, (2) many problems in global nutrition other than Vitamin A. Trying to picture the developers like Prometheus getting their liver torn out every day just isn't helpful. The fact that they got 100 Nobel Prize winners to sign their petition is bunk because very few of them know about agronomy or the problems of marketing technology in the developing world.

Specifically: Golden Rice has to compete in terms of all the agronomic and gastronomic variables that matter to farmers and consumers. They aren't going to put up with worse yield, drought tolerance, etc. just for this one trait. The first version of Golden Rice didn't have a lot of Vitamin A, though the second version does.

There have been efforts across the last 50 years or so to get people in rural areas to switch to better cookstoves that are a great case study in just how hard it can be to get people in the developing world to adopt something new. It can be done, but Greenpeace is the least of the obstacles that they face.
The removal of WHOIS information for domains that GDPR directly and indirectly resulted in has made the internet a drastically less communicative space. In the old days you could always just email someone if they had a .tld website. Now communication is usually not possible.
"Demystifying" is a big word for what the original docs document quite well, and is also not like you couldn't read and understand that in few hours, if you are not totally foreign to protocol design and serialization? This post gives even much less information?!
> Of course, if you value the privacy of these data a lot, and if you believe that by allowing them to train on them it is actually going to risk exposing private info, the story changes. But then you have an option to say stop. It's up to you to measure how much you value "getting a better product" vs "estimated risk of exposing some information considered private". Some will err on one side, some on the other.

The problem with this reasoning, at least from what I am understanding is that you don't really know when/where the training of you data crosses the line into information you don't want to share until it's too late. It's also a slippery slope.
That's not streaming if you're already aware of the length of the iterable.
Which is extremely clear from what I’m saying, it’s completely anecdotal.
I like Brave's approach: You search for what you want.

I took a course or two by Prof. Robinson as an undergrad and found the material engaging.
I'd love a better understanding of the intellectual encumbrance of Pantone colors, and whether RAL colors are more free in that regard.
I mean, one way to look at it is just that graffiti is just... fine, really. It's not generally a huge deal in the scheme of things.
OK so innovators have to provide an option where:

benefit > switching cost + network cost

This has repeatedly been demonstrated as large networks have been disrupted. Folks switched away from MSN Messenger and MySpace didn't they?
Why would you ever go to the grocery store? InstaCart.
I would guesst aht the added value of RAL is being a formal standard, such that it can be mandated by laws and regulations to paint things with a given RAL color.

For example, refurbishing a building within a protected area (close to a historic monument is a typical scenario) will require the use of materials (paints, window frames, doors, blinds) coated with a specific subset of RAL colors, selected by a public body to match the intended scenery.

I'd say they have been failing catastrophically at that for the last 20 years. And so do the statistics.

Does anyone have good examples of software that meets this criteria? Or places where this type of software can be found? I love the idea here and would love to put it into practice but among the disadvantages that small makers suffer against large industry is easy discoverability for their products.
I guess there is a connection in the sense that with reservoir sampling, each sample observed has an equal chance of remaining when you're done. However, if you have duplicates in your samples, traditional algorithms for reservoir sampling do not do anything special with duplicates. So you can end up with duplicates in your output with some probability.

I guess maybe it's more interesting to look at the other way. How is the set of samples you're left with at the end of CVM related to the set of samples you get with reservoir sampling?
They are annoying, but I quite like the option to choose. I definitely prefer not to have tracking cookies.
This is inaccurate-

- charcoal - no roofs or balconies, but terraces and backyards are okay. You do need 10 feet of clearance from walls and fences, but this is less rare than you might think. I’ve lived in two places that met this criteria and have a few friends that did as well

- propane - illegal in most circumstances except with a very small propane tank

- natural gas - legal in all circumstances as long as installed by a city licensed installer.

It’s true that it’s not as common as it is in the suburbs, but essentially every building built in the last 20 years or major renovations ends up including one or more grills.
I think it means that e.g. in the EU antibiotics use would make them lose their certification as organic producer, which probably makes a large difference financially.

The study only tells us that some workers who implemented GDPR think it was worth it. As if they had enough information and context to judge whether the extra work was useful. But people do have a bias to believe that their work is useful.

The study does not tell us if GDPR is worth it. It's not.

The ability to reconstruct a coherent 3d view from a sparse set of photos seems much more useful than for a set of 2d drawings of an entirely imagined space, I don't think 2d artists are cheaper than the 3d artists.
We ended up wrapping them in envoy so that our UI can convert the grpc to regular old http 1. And that's where they get the most use.

And by doing that we've added extra layers and it ended up slower than it would have been had we just used regular rest.

Further more now we need to keep evoy up to date.

Occasionally they break their API on major versions. Their config files are complicated and confusing.

So, imo, grpc should only be used for service to service communication where you don't want to share the code with a UI and speed and throughput is very very important.

And speed of http 1 rarely is the bottleneck.

US houses can run pretty big, so there can be quite a lot of cold water to flush out of the pipes before hot becomes available; especially for something like a morning shower. That can mean tens of gallons of water gone straight into the drain and quie a few minutes of time lost in what many already find to be a pressured morning routine.

Recirculators themselves can make a lot of sense for some people.

But they don't need IoT nonsense, nor the security and durability problems it invites.
That plays out for all the examples, except for the one where its answer was way off it and it corrected itself and attempted again.

Yeah, ADSL being so good at handling a crappy physical medium is both a blessing and a curse. If it weren't for these technologies we would have probably had to replace those rusty copper pairs decades ago for fiber optics. Instead the protocols continued to improve (ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL, VDSL2+, vectoring, supervector...) and allowed ISPs to provide usable network speeds without spending a cent on improving the infrastructure.

It sounds a bit like using antibiotics would mean they can't sell the honey anymore, which sounds somewhat plausible. It could be that this would violate the terms of trade agreements. Maybe the countries using the antibiotics don't export into markets that have rules against them.

If everybody is hoarding cash, then, if we assume markets control interest rates and not a central bank, would banks not lower their interest rates as the supply of deposits increases? Loaning money would become cheaper, and at the same time withdrawing to invest in other things would become incentivized. In sum, high savings would signal that it's safe to start lending and investing.

When I think of turning sequences of images into gaussians, I think of the difficulty of getting generalizable information that can be re-rendered out of the pipeline; textures and lighting, basically. From the description at the top of the paper, where they mention adding dimensions for things like albedo, I got excited.

But the demos don't do any re-rendering / change of lighting / etc, so I can't tell if this paper is just a 'super high render quality at same training time' paper, which is of course great to have, or if it has a shot at being extended to get us scenes that can be adjusted as to lighting and texture in-engine.

Any experts care to chime in?
The quote from prosecutors in the article is actually really good: it is about human behavior, not the tools.

Abstracting the question to whether tumblers or cash or guns or whatever should be 100% legal or 100% illegal is too reductive to be useful for anything but rhetoric.

It’s when people take actions with intent and outcomes that the law gets interested. Those are what we should talk about.

Cash has lots of legitimate uses and some uses which I’m fine saying are illegal. Ditto with guns, even speech.

In this case the summaries at least sound like there was tons of evidence he was specifically designing and building features to make the service better for criminals, with the intent and outcome of facilitating criminal activity. Behaviors, as the prosecutor said.
He mentions the connection between creativity and 'play', which I think is spot on. We do this effortlessly as children and then it sort of gets 'bred out of us' as we get older and start developing more traditionally 'rational' skill sets and ways of thinking about the world.

This sense of play hit home for me when I was a late teen and bought a 4-track multitrack recorder in the mid-80's. I had no preconceived notion of a song I wanted to write/record. I simply plugged in my guitar and hit 'record' and laid down an idea. I may have had a few false starts but didn't sweat it. By itself it wasn't very interesting. I added a second track with the only goal of "it should work with the first track" and was surprised at how easy it was to achieve that goal. Suddenly, with the two tracks an idea began to emerge that wasn't present in the first track by itself. Rinse and repeat with the remaining 2 tracks and I had a musical idea that I never could've imagined I would have created.

I still use that same method to generate ideas today, and summon that same sense of 'play'. Of course the real work, much harder than creating, imo, is editing.

It's not reasonable to expect people who like programming in C or other high level languages to suddenly switch to RISC-V assembly.

But I do expect some programs written in assembly to show up, because it doesn't happen very often than a new, modern open ISA like RVA20/RV64GC shows up with a promise of very long term compatibility.

And because assembly is still fun, and will forever be.
