UK members of Parliament are very active in their local community, their parliamentary email address is the normal one to be using for this type of work and may involve needing to sign up for things with an email address.
When they are following best practices and using a unique password then they aren't really putting anyone's information at risk.
They are at risk from phishing attacks simply by having such an email address which is publicly available, but that is an accepted and managed risk and definitely not needless.
I wouldn't complain for sure. I always loved edit.com and have such fond memories of it.

I used mcedit as terminal text editor for a while, but it was never installed anywhere but at home, so ended up defaulting to vi and nano for consistency. If nano became a bit more like edit.com that'd mean it'd be almost everywhere by default once versions catch up...one can dream.

I have double vision from strabismus. There are quite a number of eye therapy exercises that you can do to improve the condition. The older you get, the more of it that it takes. I have made improvements, but before I made this discovery and started the therapy I was too far gone and too old to fully cure. But... I can get decent life improvements if I put in the effort.

If you look hard enough you may find an optometrist that specializes in eye therapy for strabismus and similar vision issues. Expect to be the only adult in the waiting room that is not a parent, most patients will be early-grade-school-age kids.

Lead-fueled reactors are definitely an interesting area, and Russia is in the process of building a 300MWe demonstrator (BREST-300-OD). That being said, they have their own share of problems.

Startup and maintenance is going to be a beast, slowly heating up the reactor to working temperatures is going to take almost a year. The other problem is that it's still not clear if corrosion problems can be solved satisfactorily.

Reactor construction steel is stainless because it has a protective film of oxides on its surface, and lead gradually rubs it away (and then rubs away the construction steel, at a much faster pace). BREST-OD reactor designers spent a decade perfecting a system that is supposed to manage the amount of dissolved oxygen in lead, but it needs to be tested in the actual reactor conditions. With all its crazy temperature gradients and flows.

Another interesting area is light-water cooled breeders. Such reactors _are_ possible, but just marginally. And they have the nasty positive void coefficient, but it looks like it should be possible to compensate for it.
I can ramble a little about it, I don't know how much water it'll hold.

First, as an adult who is otherwise held to certain responsibilities, we've already decided "they are the kind of person we want to vote..." unless they're a felon or something.

The social contract says the people/law abiding adult citizens aren't to be subjugated. They get to defend themselves and vote. Not some of them. All.

With well-meaning attitudes like yours - applying insurance risk/pooling to rights - we manage to treat criminals too poorly. That's not hyperbole. The wider practice is so disgusting I'm announcing my choice to move on before I allow this to degrade.

Second, it's a numbers game. There's safety in the padding they provide simply by taking power away from zealots. There are more than two potential outcomes - good/bad. Shades.

Finally, how is one to learn if not by participation?
Nobody needs a first principles argument to justify greed and tax evasion. It just feels right.

IDK about MacOS, but on Windows 9x/XP, sending bytes via serial was incredibly trivial in C#, Visual C++ or even ols school Visual Basic.[1]

Even if you didn't have one of the dozens of already written serial terminal apps, you could write your own pretty easily in one of those languages to push bytes out the serial port, with just a few standard API calls.

I doubt MacOS didn't have something similar. Unless of course, MacOS back then was somehow shittier than Windows, which I doubt.

Linus never shouted at random people reporting bugs, or anything like that. He occasionally shouted (or still shouts?) at people breaking stuff they really shouldn't have broken, and who really should have known better.

What you think of that is up to you, but the suggestion that Linus is somehow a complete asshole and rude to everyone and everything is just not true, and has never been true.

Besides, "hey, can you help me?" and "I gave you responsibility over this part and you broke stuff for users you numpty" are fundamentally different positions to start with.
What would you do with a billion dollars?
Definitely agree with the article that engineers should be more aware of scenarios where those interacting with the systems they build have slow internet.

Another thing I think people should think about is scenarios with intermittent connectivity where there is literally no internet for periods ranging from minutes to days.

Sadly in both these regards I believe we're utterly screwed.

Even the Offline First and Local First movements who you'd think would handle these issues in at least a semi-intelligent manner don't actually practice what they preach.

Look at Automerge or frankly the vast majority of the other projects that came out of those movements. Logically you'd think they have offline documentation that allows people to study them in a Local First fashion. Sadly that's not the case. The hypocrisy is truly a marvel to behold. You'd think that if they can get hard stuff like CRDTs right they'd get simple stuff right like actually providing offline / local first docs in a trivial to obtain way. Again sadly not.

The following two links are yet another example of a similar kind of hypocrisy:
https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1781840288300097896
https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/1052#issuecommen...

Again at this point the jokes are frankly writing themselves. Like bro make it possible for people to follow your advice.

Also if you directly state or indirectly insinuate that your tool is ANY/ALL OF Local First, or Open Source, or Free As In Freedom you better have offline docs.

If you don't have offline docs your users and collaborators don't have Freedom 1. If you can't exercise Freedom 1 you are severely hampered in your ability to exercise Freedoms 0, 2, or 3 for any nontrivial FOSS system.

The problem has gotten so bad the I started the Freedom Respecting Technology movement which I'm gonna plug here: https://makesourcenotcode.github.io/freedom_respecting_techn...
I was watching the show, 3 Body Problem, and there was a great scene where a guy tells a woman to double check another man’s work. Then goes to the man and tells him to triple check the woman’s work. MoE seems to work this way, but maybe we can leverage different models that have different randomness and maybe we can get to a more logical answer.

We have to start thinking about LLM hallucination differently. When it’s follows logic correctly and provides factual information, that is also a hallucination, but one that fits our flow of logic.
We do, although we're in the middle of moving our entire Heroku Postgres spend over to Crunchy Data [1].

We were getting close to one of the big jumps on the standard pricing of Heroku Postgres, and we would have had to basically double our monthly cost to lift the max data we could store from 1.5TB to 2.0TB. On Crunchy Data, that additional disk space will be like 1% more rather than 100% more.

While investigating Crunchy, I ran some benchmarks, and I found Crunchy Bridge Postgres to be running 3X faster than Heroku Postgres.

Heroku seems to be working on some interesting new things, but I feel burned by the subpar performance and lack of basically any new features over many years. I don't know if the new Aurora-based database will be faster than Crunchy, but the benchmarks they're talking about sound like they're finally about to catch them. But we also have better features on Crunchy, too, such as logical replication. Logical replication is still not available on Heroku.

The experience for deploying apps and having add-ons is still pretty easy, but we'll see how that improves. HTTP2 support is still in beta.

The proposal is:

> Ideally, the reactor would not need service until end-of-life (e.g. ~10 years). That way, it can be encased in concrete and buried.

This will blow up the level of radioactive waste that needs to be buried by about 1000x. Instead of a couple of kilos of long-lived isotopes after reprocessing, you'll need to bury THE WHOLE FREAKING REACTOR CORE.

> It still costs fuel to carry the weight and slows down the boarding/un-boarding process.

This is true but if we want to play the pure fairness game should someone who is 150 pounds pay less than someone who is 200 pounds? What about a 90 pound kid? These are drastic differences in weight and all 3 humans would likely fit in the dimensions of 1 standard economy seat.

Arbitrarily charging upwards of $200 USD to check a bag at the gate because your carry on personal item was 0.5 pounds too heavy doesn't seem reasonable. A lot of consumer grade scales aren't even accurate to half a pound, you may have done the work to measure it and be wrong because you don't have a high precision scale that's as accurate as the industrial scale at the airport.

Paying won't make Shorts go away. Nor will it remove the 8 other elements of the YouTube UI I have to block to make the site somewhat useable.

Also I believe the payouts are split entirely by watchtime. Three minutes of watching an original song with a high-quality music video is worth more to me than 8 hours of some game stream or rambling video essay I happened to have on in the background while doing chores, but if YTP values both equally per minute it'll basically send no money to the creators who I believe bring the most value to the platform. There's even a like/dislike system, but there's no indication that it matters for Premium money. Channel memberships and superchats don't even remove ads, so even if I did decide to sub on a per-channel basis, I'd still need an ad blocker.

>What part do you believe is a blatant lie?

All of it, for multiple reasons.

1. Those are unrelated to the falsifying business records case, and those efforts weren't what Trump and his campaign have been referring to for these past few days anyway.

2. Those cases happened because Trump is alleged to have led a violent coup against his own government in violation of the 14th amendment. Something we all seem to have forgot with this constant distraction of courtrooms that this individual finds himself in.

3. Several of those cases were in states that Trump won. Of the several states that Biden won, the challenges were dismissed. Based on your link, it is entirely unfounded to claim this was political retribution.

4. In March the Supreme Court ruled none of them can proceed anyway and the map is irrelevant now, the article says this too. The 14th amendment can't be enforced by state courts, it has to be enforced by Congress.

In my opinion, you have to ignore a staggering number of facts and disregard all the actions of every single person in the courtroom all this month, including the actions of Trump and his own lawyers, to believe that this case in any way a political hit job. The judge actually went out of his way to prevent the prosecution from making it about that; the case was entirely about the illegal ways he conducted business along with his subordinates. Read the transcripts yourself if you don't believe me. https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/transcripts/
There hasn't been significant combustion engine efficiency changes in a long time. My scrapbox from 2007 still goes 550 miles on a tank of diesel, about the same as my 1997 car did before it.
My buddy got his bike stolen in Mountain View. Not only did the police find his bike they also arrested the thief.

Another buddy was woken up one night by a drunken stranger pounding on his door. He called the MVPD and within 5 minutes 3 squad cars showed up.

I used to live in Dallas. One night an entire floor of cars parked in my apartment garage was broken into. I called the police and reported it. Then I asked when they're coming and if I should stick around to wait for them. They told me they're not coming. The next night, the thieves returned and broke into all the cars on the next garage level.

Funding really matters. Mountain View is one of the handful of cities in the country with a triple-A municipal bond rating.
mcedit is the closest one in general look and feel. It's installed together with Midnight Commander. Of course it can be used as an independent editor.

My problem is that I wake up in the middle of the night after 3-4 hours. Vaping one puff of indica cannabis puts me back to sleep until the morning. And even if I don't go back to sleep right away I'm feeling so good that I don't mind.

Apparently it's genetic. My genome has 100% correlation with genetic variants associated with insomnia.
3x a week I do a dumbbell workout, which I got from Dr. Mike Israetel on youtube, as a full body workout. It consists of 2 sets each of the following:

Straight Leg Dead Lifts paired with Skull Crushers
Upright Rows paired with Split Squats
Bench Chest Flyes paired with Lat Pullovers
Curls paired with Forward Squats
Bent Over Rows paired with Pushups

Paired with meaning as soon as I finish the set of the first exercise, I go into the second, as it is designed so that each exercise uses a completely different set of muscles, so it makes it quite quick to work into a busy day. Beyond this I walk a few miles every day and run a few miles a few days a week.

I switched to this route over my former routine of kettlebell swings and turkish get ups, as I've moved to a more sedentary job, and the goal stopped just being maintain and build strength, but more build on actual muscle bulk. This of course means eating appropriately for the goal, so I shoot for about 160 grams of protein a day, and start off with oatmeal mixed with casein protein, TMG (Betaine), and createine, and make sure to get a vegetable heavy lunch.

All of this I work into workdays in my work from home office, with pretty minimal equipment and minimal time commitment. Gives me something to do when I'm catching up on podcasts.

Oh, and I guess I should also throw in rec department pickleball in spring, summer, and fall. Definitely helps on keeping the weight in check.

> let me put it to you this way: what is the LLM doing differently when it generates tokens that are "wrong" compared to when the tokens are "right"?

It is conditioning on latents about truth, falsity, reliability, and calibration. All of these inferred latents have been shown to exist inside LLMs, as they need to exist for LLMs to do their jobs in accurately predicting the next token. (Imagine trying to predict tokens in, say, discussions about people arguing or critiques of fictional stories, or discussing mistakes made by people, and not having latents like that!)

LLMs also model other things: for example, you can use them to predict demographic information about the authors of texts (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.07298), even though this is something that pretty much never exists IRL, a piece of text with a demographic label like "written by a 28yo"; it is simply a latent that the LLM has learned for its usefulness, and can be tapped into. This is why a LLM can generate text that it thinks was written by a Valley girl in the 1980s, or text which is 'wrong', or text which is 'right', and this is why you see things like in Codex, they found that if the prompted code had subtle bugs, the completions tend to have subtle bugs - because the model knows there's 'good' and 'bad' code, and 'bad' code will be followed by more bad code, and so on.

This should all come as no surprise - what else did you think would happen? - but pointing out that for it to be possible, the LLM has to be inferring hidden properties of the text like the nature of its author, seems to surprise people.

Two years ago, WhistlinDiesel youtuber used trail camera's and his air tags to bust his neighbors stealing from him. It took a few calls, but he got it done. He was smart and used the cops as mediators and didn't just go over and start yelling at the dude to get his stuff back.

It's hexadecimal. There is no spelling, so there's no way for an LLM to know if something is supposed to be a `D` or a `0` any more than traditional OCR software can.
They don't have customer key access and can't assume customer identity but ultimately yes, via a multi-eye approval process there is access to the prod infra - but this is extremely tightly secured, and not something a phishing attack on a single sales engineer could ever achieve.

Many enterprise customers additionally use standard third party crypto libraries to tokenise and/or encrypt sensitive fields before storage in any warehouse/database such as Snowflake or Redshift.

This is a similar principle to using client-side encryption for S3. The infra provider (AWS in that case) can never read the data.
Thanks!

I’m still experimenting with pricing, and agree that per page pricing makes logical sense. Still, it’s harder for me to build a sustainable business on that model.

I will probably test a few per-page or single payment options soon, though.

I don't know about you, but in my case that would have been "just push". RCT1+2 was a lot more fun and even if I would play with the (often mean) village kids, they too were more into video games than ball games, albeit more something like Postal (rated for mature audiences, like ten years older than we were). There was some voluntary playing outside as well as inverse curfews imposed to make sure we don't only game and watch Pokémon inside at some age, but this notion of "just let them do what they enjoy" is so contradictory to my personal experience
I took it as OP seeking to understand how the topology of space and time are intertwined, and asking whether a spatially closed universe would also be somehow temporally closed.

With this in mind, I felt like establishing the exact relationship between time and space might explain how a spatially closed universe would not necessarily be temporally closed, as the measurement of time involves the measurement of relative distance over multiple frames, which wouldn't necessarily change when measuring at the "boundaries" of a closed spatial loop (since these boundaries are themselves relatively defined)

Apologies to OP if I misunderstood the question.

But the quoted poster said "dairy", not milk. Lots of dairy has little to no lactose, from butter to cream-cheeses to indeed cream itself (clotted, double, or even the liquid 30% fat "whipping cream") to yogurts / kefirs, and pretty much all kinds of cheeses too...

I can't handle milk either, or anything high-lactose. The above things, though, no prob. I'd guess most of the "lactose-intolerant" will do alright with moderate (non-binge) amounts of such low- (but not no-) lactose foods.

Variations of all those are indeed much-loved staples all over the world, whether of the cow or the goat or the sheep (or gazelle? caribou? ruminant species abound!) variety, depending on regional grazing conditions I guess.
