No, again this is the same fallacy. Wants, needs, desires and preferences mean exactly what they meant before you figured out that the universe is deterministic. The misconception is simply not understanding that these are conceptual properties of material agents, not metaphysical claims about causality.

You wanted an ice cream five minutes ago, reading a book about determinism didn't change that want. We actually do want to punish criminals and therefore we should do it. Whether we all run on cellular automata at the bottom levels of physics is just completely irrelevant to discussing human interaction.

I don't understand your statement, to be honest.

Either you waste lots of traffic bandwidth because you have to have a session identifier or nonce in every packet, or you have to map sessions to ports in order to guarantee persistance when the client drops its connection.

Other ways of doing session handling will lead to an attack surface that can probably be used for DoS attacks.

Maybe I am missing something: How would you solve this, given the limitations of UDP and TCP?
You are using the word "ideology". That isn't the hallmark of good arguments. But may be we can agree onto that the current government is trying to fix all the problems caused by the previous one.
The problem wasn't shutting down the mostly old nuclear reactors, the problem was curbing the ramp up of renewables. But fortunately, the current government is fixing that. Which brings energy prices down and while currently we are hit by many factors, quickly can become a big support for Germanys economy. It might be expensive leading a trend, but it does pay of long term.
At least in California, the rate at which cities are formed is nearly zero, but it didn't used to be the case[1]. California formed two(2) new cities between 2010 and 2020. The short of it is that in 2011 SB89[2] diverted money away from the creation of new cities. Or in other words, we spent the money on something else.

> just plugging an address into a phone and following directions is much less exciting.

Something I realised a year or two back: my mental model of breaking down a larger goal into smaller subgoals is navigation. If you want to get from somewhere in Los Angeles to somewhere in San Francisco, and that step needs to be broken down, it can be analysed into (a) get from LA to Harris Ranch, then (b) get from Harris Ranch to SF.

Obviously people growing up now don't think of things that way any more, because you don't have to be able to think of the equivalent of Harris Ranch on demand; what do you all use instead as a mental model?

The funny thing with the Chicago example is that Chicago actually does have a legacy system for addressing blocks!

I’ve started reading this article which list the various H.26x proposals - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Coding_Experts_Group

Seems like the group that comes with these is eventually part of the UN ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunicat...

Is it because they come with the codecs “jointly” with the MPEG organization, which is for profit?
If the group is part of a standards organization that’s part of the UN, I feel like they should come up with non-patent-encumbered “recommendations”.

I remember when h264 appeared.

At that time, I was obsessed with mplayer and would download and build the latest releases on a regular basis. The first time I got an h264 file, mplayer wouldn’t read it so I had to get the dev version and build it.

It worked, and I realized two things : the quality was incredible, and my athlon 1800+ couldn’t cope with it. Subsequent mplayer versions ( or libavcodec ?) vastly improved performance, but I still remember that day.

Of course there is a legitimate reason for having Nakasone on the board.

OpenAI is highly sensitive to regulation which is why they have such a large lobbying team trying to push the US government in their direction. He (a) brings political connections and (b) gives confidence that any advancements won't threaten US national security. It is pretty common amongst enterprise boards.

The reality is that the perceptions of what AI can do is impacting the world far more than what it can actually do.
But it is not an opinion about your country, unless you think there's significant symbiosis between OpenAI and the US government, proving his point.
Same with Reality Winner.

"It sounds to me like they're figuring out a new marketing approach, or they're softening the blow by "listening to users" and then rolling out more slowly, when outrage has dies down ad people will just accept it."

Of course "listening to users" really means "listening in on users". Or just "bad press".

Microsoft does not consult with users before adding code into Windows. Nor do users contact Microsoft to tell the company what code they want or don't want.

Even if they did, the company does not operate based on user suggestions.

The reaction to "Recall" by journalists, bloggers and commenters is not that they think it should be "delayed". They think it is a bad idea.

Microsoft will do as it pleases. As it always has done.

<< Remind me the restrictions around something like a Katana ?

The analogy kinda breaks, but the katana comparison is the interesting part[1] so lets explore it further. Most US states have their own regulations, but overall after you are 18 you are the boss with some restrictions imposed upon 'open carry'( for lack of a better term ). IL ( no surprise there ) and especially Chicago[2] ( even less of surprise ) has a lot of restrictions that are fairly close to silly.

If we tried to impose same type of restrictions on llms, we would need to start with age ( and from there, logically, person below 18 should not be using unlocked PC for fear of general potential for mischief ) and then, likely, prohibit use for unlocked cellphones that can run unapproved apps. It gets pretty messy. And that is assuming federal and not state regulation, which would vary greatly across US.

Is it a good idea?

'In the US, katanas fall under the same legal category as knives. From the age of 18, it is absolutely lawful to possess a katana in the US. However, ownership laws vary by state, but most states allowing you to own and display a katana in your home. Restrictions may apply on "carrying a katana" publicly.'

Ok, but the valley wouldn’t be the valley without Fairchild semiconductors, HP, intel, Sun, Netscape, then Google. If they didn’t decide to have their HQ there we probably wouldn’t consider it a tech city.

Likewise seattle wouldn’t be a tech center without Boeing, Cray, Microsoft, Amazon, F5, Expedia, Real, etc.

It’s not like tech is a natural resource that comes from the ground in some cities and not others. It’s built around what was built there, whether it’s seattle or Mountain View.

AV1 is more magic with better licensing.

For their use case Meta is gradually getting to a baseline of VP9 and AV1 streams for their video streaming: https://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/Editorial/F...

And AV1 for video calls: https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/20/video-engineering/mobi...

Microsoft is starting to use AV1 in Teams. AV1 has video coding tools that are particularly useful for screen sharing: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/...

Most of the video I see on YouTube these days is in VP9 or AV1. Occasionally some video is still H.264.

H.264 will still be around for quite some time, but AV1 looks set to become the new baseline for internet video.

Seems like there is a lot of criticism of the FAA while ignoring real time cuts to their budget. Looking at 2005 they had 14bn, 22.5bn in today’s money. Last years budget was 18.5bn.

I am sure there is waste and opportunities for improvement but… that ignores the significant increase in flights, new planes etc. that has ballooned much faster than the crude time value of money calc above. Criticising them for doing less with, umm, less seems a bit rich. Especially as others (not necessarily you in this comment) then use that a reason for more cuts to agencies.

> There's no expectation of privacy when you send data to a server. There is when you run local software.

To engage on this point: Brew is server software (most installs happen via 'bottles'), no? Presumably most package distros keep track of which packages are installed and how often (e.g. Pip/NPM even publish their data). Even if you install from source github/mirrors/etc they have that data too. I'm sure the same is true in nix too? Curious how you categorized "brew" as not server-y software? And how nix possibly gets around the mirrors/code-distribution services from having access to similar data?

Though my point is mostly moot if you point to a place in the brew source code that is taking more personal information from my computer that a load balancer wouldn't have access to.

To be fair, regular code also becomes something nobody understands. A spreadsheet might get big, but it doesn't typically grow to like 20,000 loc or greater that somebody wrote in spaghetti code. I mean they certainly can, but that's a lot rarer.
To clarify - a lot of advertisers have gone to the trouble of writing one stack that's GDPR compliant and an entirely different stack that's not GDPR compliant - if you're outside the EU you're not going to get the one that complies with GDPR. In the past with privacy situations like these we'll usually see one large market (CA, EU, NA) adopt more restrictive rules and the rest of the world sort of get a free ride because it's not worth the cost to build an entirely separate product for the unrestricted markets - with advertising this has not happened... if you're not in the EU you're not getting any of those benefits.
Many people DO need someone to tell them though. Would you rather nothing was said at all?
This is where smart analytics teams are super useful. It is a really hard projection estimation! Even understanding what the F1 score should be to be "good enough" is nearly impossible, much less understanding what it takes to go from "where we are" to "good enough".
