The real company that this was based on probably projected beating the cost of the equivalent Haber-Bosch industrial setup but ultimately couldn’t reduce the nanoparticle production costs and pivoted to selling nanoparticles. I think the best “carbon free” ammonia is still 50% more expensive than the cheapest ammonia, but there seems to be continuous research into promising methods. I’m not a chemical engineer though, and do not know how to qualify research, but this recent article from a Stanford group was intriguing: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2023/04/ecofriendly-ammoni...

A similar area with a ton of interesting research is sustainable production of silicon where current smelting uses carbothermic reduction of silica in an arc furnace

The Cub Scout Pinewood Derby that I saw -- in which the kid is to carve a model car out of a block of wood at home, to race at an event -- they had wisely issued extra kits ahead of time, for those parents who would get a little too enthusiastic about helping Junior, and had separate races among the parents' cars.

Of course, the stakes were much smaller than an award or school admission that potentially makes/breaks your child's brilliant future career.

For its part, musl libc (Alpine's libc) makes minimal use of /proc, and only when necessary. The only unconditional uses I see are for pthread_getname_np/pthread_setname_np, ttyname_r, and some dynamic linking reflection bits.

I would assume those users were somehow highly motivated to use the app. "In this gang we only use An0m, install it if you wanna deal our drugs". I doubt any of my non-techie friends (or even my parents) would side load an app if it was required to text me.

WhatsApp has 2 billion users, Signal 40 million and An0m had 12k. Legislation like this will make E2EE communications unavailable to everyone but the most motivated techies and criminals.

I use M+pgup/pgdn for session nav and S-left/right for window nav and instead of trying to break my config to get them to work I just gave up. I didn't see any benefits so went back to Windows Terminal.

It's almost like you just hate the project and won't accept any changes they do.

Is bribery a bad thing if there is no other recourse? That's the real issue here. If Big Tech companies cared, they would have some sort of customer support. They don't, and so the market is forming its own solution.
If you work in Telecom or ISP networks operations environment, these three KPIs; Packet Loss, Latency, and Jitter are something that you must deal with on a regular basis. And as a Network Engineer, it is your responsibility to always work to keep these numbers as low as possible (within SLA), but as the saying goes “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.”! Therefore, having an automated report measuring Packet Loss, Latency and Jitter is a valuable function that can be achieved using Cacti’s Advanced Ping monitoring and graphing tool. But first, let’s take a deeper look at each of these parameters before I show you how to build this report.
The language features that make this possible are a) late-binding and b) resident development tools (compiler, debugger, interpreter, inspector, trace, ... are all included in the runtime).
> My original post puts forth an interesting double standard, where when a non-cop finds a workaround to achieve their aim it's considered a 'hack' and a sign of being 'relentlessly resourceful' (a fundable, valued attribute!). When a cop uses a workaround to achieve their aim, which is to find criminals, it's considered grounds for outrage.

That isn't a double standard. People are constantly complaining about "loopholes" when someone other than the police have found one, and law enforcement are constantly claiming that the one you've found isn't allowed.

The real double standard is not police and everybody else, it's normal people and people with power. Apple doesn't have to pay taxes because they can use some complicated shell games, but you can't do the same thing because it's reserved for international megacorps with fancy lawyers. It would be much better if we were consistent and always allowed "loopholes" to be used by everyone, so that the law had to be fixed instead of ignored or selectively enforced. But the police wouldn't be the beneficiaries of that, because they're in the group with power.

Notice how the police who did this are being berated rather than incarcerated.

Children were definitely abused more in the past, but were they traumatised more?

In the past much more than today, kids had defined roles and work to do in families. The stronger sense of identity may have lessened the trauma. As may the knowledge that their peers in neighboring familes were going through the exact same things.
Licenses go beyond copyright though, they tell you what you can and can't do with something someone else made. They're contracts.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more lawsuits (and likely new regulation and licenses) around this.

The relevant case law concerns defendants who "use an imitation to convey the impression" that it's the actual person. Just having a voice that sounds like SJ is not a problem, but the "Her" tweet and the fact that they tried to get her on board complicates the issue, and if there's any paper trail that they intentionally chose a soundalike that might be trouble.

Actors don't work in films without detailed contracts, so the normal rules don't necessarily apply in that situation. The producers of Her might have the right to use SJ's likeness in related material. In any case, if they made another movie with a soundalike, the soundalike would be credited and not just called "A", so there would be no confusion about whose voice it was.
I'm curious, what reporting is actually useful to your team.

I used to work on a project management tool, and everyone wanted "reporting", but when you got down to what they needed it was usually pretty minimal.
Statics blogs are cool but you have to manage them uploading the content every time. The interesting aspect of this solution is that you can use whatever client that supports long format (https://habla.news, https://yakihonne.com, https://highlighter.com, etc) to write your post, and your personal blog is automatically updated. No fuss.

For kids, in general, if one kid makes a claim ("I made this," or "This game cartridge is mine") that turns out to be false, there is generally some sort of comeuppance. That could be as simple as the kid losing respect within their peer group, or it could be as serious as parents being informed about the kid commiting a petty crime.

This is important, because it instills society's values (such as they are) in the child. For example, what if kid A steals a game cartridge from kid B, and then kid B retaliates by shooting and killing kid A? That response is generally frowned upon, in most parts of the world.

In my opinion, it would be fine if "the child" was presenting a poster showing the current state of research in microbial recycling of plastics. That's a cool thing for a high school senior or college freshman to do. But to take existing research (stealing), manipulate images (lying), and cast it as their own work (stealing and lying), on a national stage, that requires an appropriate comeuppance.

Let's not pretend there is not actual exploitation and "exploitation".

The question is rather perhaps whether it's reasonable and justified given the huge amount of laws and regulations.

A typical small business owner will prey on the naivety of younger employees particularly around HR law. No business owner will be 100% truthful with their customers (ie they engage in some form of marketing). I have not worked a single job where this was not the case. It's celebrated here and called "growth hacking"

All of that is done for the gain of the owner, not solely so that they may enrich the lives of their employees

Meanwhile, in China, there are yearly flooding in major cities, where the water can't be drained through drainage due to poor planning, corruption in purported drainage fix, and now no local budget for any fixes. these floodings affect millions of Chinese each year.

• macOS + m1n1 stage 1 (from the Asahi Linux project)

• m1n1 stage 2 + u-boot (from OpenBSD)

• OpenBSD's EFI bootloader (BOOTAA64.EFI).

A recent macOS update exposed a bug in m1n1 which has been fixed and pushed out by both the Asahi Linux team, and now also OpenBSD.

Some Thoughts on React Compiler
People weren't choosing short weeks because they wanted leisure time. It was because there wasn't enough electricity to work five days a week due to Marxist miners unions shutting down the power stations.

Also on checking it turns out I misremembered. The UK went to three day weeks during this time:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Day_Week

TV stations were also required to shut down at 22:30 to conserve power. Bodies went uncollected, hospitals shut down, TV stations routinely went dark even when there was sufficient power. It's impossible to overstate the apocalyptic state of Britain in this era. You can read about it here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent

The government was so left wing any thought of building a high tech ecosystem was out of the question and even keeping existing 1930s era industries was hard. Whilst the Americans were building Intel the British were living through something from a disaster movie. The 1980s were spent partly repairing the damage. By that point the US tech ecosystem was well under way.
Tree Style Tabs extension never left.

IMO, he's less of a "savior" and more of a "god-tier salesperson".

Edit: I mentioned the "Dynabook", because Jobs often used the "bicycle for the mind" line, in interviews and newspaper ads.

Is it not a three-stage process? I found that treaties seem to be unenforceable unless there is a legally mandatory statutory implementation of them, regardless of whether they are ratified.

For instance, in Illinois there was until recently no punishment for a violation of the Vienna Convention by law enforcement, therefore the Convention was essentially worthless. (Illinois state law generally requires a punishment to be attached to make a law mandatory, otherwise the reading of "shall" is directory)

Deforestation would cause water too run off more quickly, overwhelming local services, drains, ditches. Building on flood plains also puts people at risk - rivers might not flood every year. These factors could play a role in this situation. These are the factors I would like to know more about for the Brazil and China flooding... Is it just bad governmental town planning?

> (...) almost all consumer hardware will be able to run a local LLM comfortably.

The last thing we want. For example, car manufacturers tried to make voice command work and the results are still unreliable; they also had experimented with touch screens and those are going away, because they are a poor and unsafe way to operate a moving vehicle. People want tactile feedback and ability to operate them without taking their eyes off the road. Why would anybody want an LLM in my camera, phone, washing machine, thermostat?
Because the runtime for those utilities is available on just about every Linuxy OS there is. Saves you having to install the runtime separately, eg in your CI pipeline.

> What exactly are the current ones doing that makes them generate 'black Vikings'?

There is presumably a system prompt or similar that mandates diverse representation and is included even when inappropriate to the context.

> How would you change it so that it doesn't do that but will also generate things that aren't only representative of the statistical majority results of large amount of training data it used?

Allow the user to put it into the prompt as appropriate.

> Would you be happy if every model output just represented 'the majority opinion' it has gained from its training data?

There is no "majority opinion" without context. The context is the prompt. Have you tried using these things? You can give it two prompts where the words are nominally synonyms for each other and the results will be very different, because those words are more often present in different contexts. If you want a particular context, you use the words that create that context, and the image reflects the difference.

> How would your method be different from how it is currently done except for your reflecting your own biases instead of those you don't like?

It's chosen by the user based on the context instead of the corporation as an imposed universal constant.
