Russia's action are absolutely up for debate.
Hence the time the talk spends dwelling on how this isn't an "everyone" thing any more than it's a "professional devs" thing. The point, or at least the point as I understood it, is to broaden the space for people who want to learn enough to support the things that matter to them, and no more.

Again, there's nothing new in this; in fact it's much the way things were when 8-bit micros and BASIC were about as fancy as most ever saw, yet anyone who ever saw a computer could hardly help but see them. Maybe you'd learn to use those tools and maybe you wouldn't, but you knew they were there for you and the assumption was that you could learn enough to use them. More did than I think a lot of folks in their 20s today easily imagine. I don't blame them; if all I'd ever seen was how things are now, I'm sure I'd be the same. But people made things the way they are now. People can make them otherwise.

There's also no assumption in the talk that everyone involved is a loner, an atomized individual, the way you seem to assume would be true. Indeed, quite the contrary: community, in word and in concept, suffuses the text in its entirety, to such an extent it seems surprising its constant immanence could be overlooked even on a brief skim.

Admittedly, that's a difficult concept for many to fathom in 2020s America. I'm certainly among that number. But I'm also old enough to remember when things were better, and young enough still to imagine a future where things are better again. I just hope I'm not too old to still make myself useful by the time they start to be.
I want to have a copy of all my passwords and Apple does not provide that

I have been stung a few times by apple locking my data within their ecosystem (eg I can’t export my notes from iPhone out without a Mac, or MANUALLY copy each note which is crazy) so I refuse to use any of their apps or features unless I own my data
communists never did like orwell and they're still around so naturally we get these articles every now and again.

Not all Android devices have this toggle. I personally own three Android devices (and have one Android device from work) and none of them have this option. Right now I can see both a Samsung S21 and Samsung A73 provide only the following: 5G/4G/3G/2G; 4G/3G/2G; 3G/2G; 3G only; 2G only. Some people have said it depends on the network operator--however I have access to 4 different phones attached to all three network operators in my country and the options are the same across all three (including the two operators who have no 2G network whatsoever making it even more silly Android insists on keeping 2G enabled if you only want 4G/5G).
AVL Trees are a type of self-balancing binary search tree, named after their inventors Adelson-Velsky and Landis. In this article, we will learn to write a C++ Program to Implement AVL Tree with detailed explanations and examples. AVL Trees are essential for maintaining balanced tree structures, ensuring efficient insertion, deletion, and lookup operations. By the end of this article, you will have a solid understanding of how to implement and use AVL Trees in your C++ projects.
I love that your suicide note gave you a reason to live. I make inks, paints, and dyes as part of insuring that sobriety is more satisfying than drinking beer.
They needed Musk's pledge of $1B to remain non-profit. When he took back that money, their only choice was to either A) shut-down or B) go profit.

I think most people (aside from Elon) are happy they didn't shut-down.
Even without a SIM card with the location off and the phone in airplane mode, the service providers have pinpoint accuracy. This is because all phones can communicate with 911 even without a SIM. It is always active logging your location.

For law enforcement they have multiple levels of collecting location data. Of course, your location is sent to Google or Apple etc as you move around. Even your searches for destinations in stuff like Google Maps, even incognito in Google Maps, reports your search, live, to law enforcement if they request it. Often with sketchy legal justifications to the third party.

If a target is moving around a city, they can be followed live on the array of cameras everywhere, accessible remotely. Many with facial recognition. Others in populated areas collecting all kinds of information. Wifi broadcasts, bluetooth devices, any RFID, all collected, stored and combined. This is how they are able to use a form of geo fencing requests to find out who was in an area at a specific time, potentially interacting with the target.

Networks of interactions at a global scale get revealed this way.

It just goes on and on too. Go to a rural area and maybe everyone has front door cameras. LE can access them remotely.

In fact, your entire ISP connection can be man in the middle decrypted and parts overwritten in transit, if given access at the ISP level.

While working in iCloud typing notes or watching YouTube videos, they can control your live sessions, watch you compose a document... Choose which videos you are recommended. Choose the advertisements you see.

The possibilities for them really are endless and all of this happens in many cases. It is a surveillence state.
> Which year of promising "FSD later this year/end of year" do we stop assuming good faith and recognize that maybe Musk has dug himself into his own hole when it comes to assuming good faith about his statements?

I take it as that is what he actually thinks. He is perpetually bad, exceptionally so, at judging the time things will take to complete. He's not actively lying. He actually thinks that. Once you assume that, you start to get a better understanding of why he operates the way he does. He's naive to a fault.

> Kinda like "I have evidence that Vern Unsworth is a pedophile"? Should we have assumed good faith there, too?

(First off, that's not a direct quote, he never said that.) That's not an engineering topic so I'm not going to stake my reputation on it, but my default assumption would be the same, he actually thought that, as silly as it seems. He had a preconceived notion, unfounded or not, that any old white man who retired to that area of the world was more than likely to be that type of person.

Of course the origin of that dirt seeking effort was that he was upset with the guy for doing personal attacks on him personally and also on the efforts of the SpaceX employees which he almost considers as extensions of himself. So he considered that he must be a bad person (as only a bad person would have attacked what he was trying to do), in multiple ways, so he went trying to find what other ways he was a bad person.
I'm not sure the modem makes any difference. I have access four different Android phones and none of them have the option to disable 2G.
Show HN: AI Agent System to Analyze ArXiv AI Papers
Building a multi-agent system to analyze new AI research papers from 3 distinct perspectives:

- Deep learning researcher agent: extract interesting deep learning methods that are related to paper

- Theoretical mathematician agent: figure out theoretical mathematical concepts that are important in this paper and additional theoretical references that will be useful in understanding it

- Skeptic agent: find unjustified assumptions that lack supporting evidence

For this mvp, I used low-code agent platform StackAI (YC W23) and wrote about my process:

"""

Meed for 30 like WTF is

there's just too many words to make a

"""

If the goal was to be intelligible, you could probably adapt the method to be more successful. For one, I would drop the requirement to not create more homophones. Since you're hoping people will guess what the word means based on what it sounds like, you can afford to have it sound like several things and let them distinguish based on context. Besides that, according to the established rules, you could turn a single multisyllabic word into multiple monosyllabic words. Suppose you turned "better" into "more good". This is technically monosyllabic, and immediately obvious in meaning to any english speaker. You might also squeeze multiple synonyms into a single word, for example "attempt" could be turned into "try", rather than attempting to come up with a legible one syllable variant of it. Doing these things wouldn't be as faithful to the seeming goals of the project, but the result might be more interesting in terms of semi-comprehensible english.

Fun fact! You don't need any specific blog engine for this, it's already enabled on most github-hosted pages.

- find a random github.io website, for example: https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.21/

- Find a corresponding github repo (in this particular case linked in top-right corner), and switch to gh_pages branch: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/tree/gh-pages

- Hit green "Get Code" button and then "download zip" link.

- Voila! You have a zip file with the generated HTML; all images; CSS; Javascript; even clientside search.
Seriously. Ever try to pass an interview with "Well first I'd probably look up the optimal answer..."? It's worked for me about zero times.

I have one of these old grandfathered accounts from many years ago (< $20 / line for unlimited data, 5gb tethering, unlimited sms, and unlimited voice). What's weird is that they've actually upgraded the plan over time while keeping the price the same. It originally didn't include tethering, and was capped at 3gb of data.
I'd be more fine with companies behaving like a swarm of locusts if they at least had to put on the box the ways they were going to fuck you over. A monkey's paw printer should have to prominently display "Proprietary ink only! Scanner disables itself when ink is low. While supplies last" on the front.
AT&T did it by just turning off their old network haha. Then you had to pay to migrate. A friend of mine did this. I just stick with Google Fi which I like for simplicity.

So that Verizon could own the entire market along with a few also-rans? It was a choice between the lesser of two evils.

> Small complex long-term effects in humans are fundamentally inaccessible to the kind of science that collects and analyzes data. Either the necessary data cannot be collected at all, or collecting it would be too expensive, time-consuming, and/or unethical to be worth it. When the truth is inaccessible, science focuses on establishing the boundaries of what can be known.

That requires reliable data. If the only data you have is hopelessly confounded, then you don't just shrug and accept it as "truthy" because it's dressed up like science and is published in a journal, and hey, that's the best you can do anyway.

Science is about the quality of the methodology you use, not the grandeur of the institution that surrounds it. If your data doesn't answer the question, then it doesn't answer the question.

(For whatever it's worth, I'm biased in favor of the hypothesis, but crap experiements are crap no matter what I believe.)

Inequality is a social poison all on its own. For example, democracy is meaningless when men of means can buy elections.
Understood. I apologise for stepping over the line.
> Like many airlines, American pays its attendants only for the time the plane is in the air.Boarding passengers, waiting between flights, and traveling to and from the airport all mean flight attendants typically work about two hours for each “flight hour” they are paid.

I wonder how this is not considered wage theft.
They have now fixed it after I submitted this comment. No longer sending gzip by default. Thanks for that. Someone tell Amazon they should do the same.
Reminds me only slightly of Votgil and this entertaining video:

There is no harmony at current state, because that is how natural selection has developed us. Although it would still be better if democracy ruled the World rather than dictatorship together with democracy. Elon Musk is not the saviour, but none the less the goals he set make sense. The other part of your reply is quite ugly unbased attacks from you.
It's not just mapping events in space and time, it's also bringing in appropriate context and expectation of future (goals, intentions) into the present, other people's mental models into our prediction.

I am not sure how abstract thinking for generalized pattern matching make it AGI to solve these kind of problems(not that they are not amazing abilities). If these ToM problems are reducible to these tasks posted by the OP then there would need to be some kind of theorem proving business to convert between the two sets of problems efficiently no?
Flameshot has a draw-rectangle function. So you can just draw a red or black rectangle on top of things.
> humans do not need 10,000 examples to tell the difference between cats and dogs

The optimization process that trained the human brain is called evolution, and it took a lot more than 10,000 examples to produce a system that can differentiate cats vs dogs.

Put differently, an LLM is pre-trained with very light priors, starting almost from scratch, whereas a human brain is pre-loaded with extremely strong priors.

And this is the power of ChatGPT. Instead of reading a ton of literature, you can ask it for algorithms in literature that map to your problem.

I work in a space where I simply don't have bandwidth to read every paper out there, but a few question on ChatGPT managed to narrow the field for me in 30 seconds, and I could take it from there. It could even prototype the algorithm tailored to my specs. Game changer.
That, of course, isn’t what people mean when they say liberal in the US context, here it just means social liberal or cultural liberal. In our defense, liberal economics are the ground state in the US, we don’t think to name them for the same reason a fish doesn’t think to name water.
I see a lot of people recreating iron gall inks lately. There are many sellers on Etsy. It seems unwise to resurrect a corrosive ink that has eaten away so many manuscripts.

Walnut husk ink is a gorgeous and easy alternative. I get mine at S.F. Herbs by the pound, soak for at least a day or ferment in distilled water, and boil down until it's as dark as I like. Some borax or sodium benzoate can keep the surface from molding.
I think you are selling yourself short - the problem is just some minor education to realize you probably know most of what you need to know. And I still cant figure out how to get a kube cluster working.
I had an ATT unlimited data plan, grandfathered from way back in 2004 or something. It was wonderful while cellular data was still only available in limited amounts. I only finally moved off it about 3 years ago. ATT never seemed to care much. The only problems I had were when I had to make certain changes to my account, the staff could never find my plan in the system -- on more than one occasion we had actual ATT database admins on the line to resolve things.
If Verizon controlled that much, then it should have been broken apart.

You don't fix a monopoly by creating more monopolies.
Exactly. Research and it’s practical application is pretty common in computer graphics, and particularly cutting edge graphics engine development. There’s no need to dig around in academic papers unless you’re dealing with deep technical problems and off-the-shelf solutions are out of the question.
How is reducing competition good for competition?
I'm currently evaluating both on the same phone, and I have not had that experience. If Helium had as good coverage as Tmo, I would have already switched. Fortunately, Helium usually has coverage when Tmo doesn't, so I may keep both since Helium is quite cheap (and even close to free with discovery mapping turned on).
To send last messages before he kills himself? Call for help if he backs out?
It probably won't survive, but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be tried for all different sorts of reasons. We don't know when a danger will occur or materialize, but we should begin to make sure our eggs are spread out as soon as possible to have the highest odds of survival as species.
The distro repositories are being continuously rebuilt, because packages are receiving continuous updates. In the meantime, as far as I'm concerned dynamic linking is itself a security failure, because if I run a binary I want to know exactly what code is being run, without having to worry about dynamic linking and loading nonsense inserting itself into my process.
> I think it's important which countries the experts are coming from.

I don't think it's important to engage in prejudice based on national origin.

141 countries decided that Russia's aggression is deserving of condemnation and must stop:

Additionally, the court with relevant jurisdiction (composed of impartial judges from western and non-western countries) has decided that Putin should be arrested and tried for his crimes: https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-ukraine-icc-judges-is...

Doesn't seem too undecided.
Dumping the whole buffer down the wire on every change? You can really tell links are fast these days...and something about the quality of code produced by naïvely prompted LLMs, maybe.
I'll be real with you - no.
Even if I hadn't already been through the process of registering an LLC before, it's an extremely over-saturated market. Heck just looking at the first page on google for "how to register LLC in Texas" I see that each link gives the same information you do but for free. A couple youtube videos with 100k+ views even show up on the first page that explain the same thing.

I can't imagine not performing the most rudimentary search before opting to pay for a $18 course that wasn't even verified/checked by a lawyer for accuracy (one of the links I clicked on went out of the way to indicate their steps had been indeed verified by a lawyer and even gave his name+photo, assuming they weren't lying).

Regardless - Any project that doesn't cost you more than your time to setup has some value, even if it's just your experience in the process. Best of luck.
The pretrained models aren’t MPL licensed, though.
They consider tofu as ultra-processed food? That doesn't make much sense - it's just boiled soybeans which are then ground and mixed with coagulants (such as magnesium chloride, which you can get from seawater). It's about as much "processed" as cheese.
