> Curious to see how the ocean dispute will play into this

India and China were shooting at each other over long-disputed borders a few years ago. BRICS was never a security pact. (To the extent it means anything, it’s analogous to the OECD.)

Hell, it’s easier for me in America to do business with either China or India than it is for them to do business with each other.
This is the infamous Dead Cat Strategy[0].

That’s a really good way to think about it. Having been security-adjacent for a long time, I definitely remember the reactions of dread which some of the earlier big vulnerabilities in things like OpenSSL got, which were never exploited at the feared scale, and that’s well explained by your theory: the NSA isn’t interested in every phone in a country, and a lot of unsexy vulnerabilities like WordPress exploits are going to be more widely attacked because people know how to make money with ad/affiliate spam, SEO, etc.

Ah yes, the yuan[1].

Though the way this is going, it might as well be the Russian local currency now.

T-Online has a simple whitelist approach, and it is usually enough to just drop them an email. I did that back in 2014, asking for my private mail server to be added to that whitelist, and I received a positive answer within a few hours.
Why do you think they have forgotten? There has never been much of any brotherhood between Islamic nations. Even within Islamic nations, there's usually no brotherhood between classes or between clans.

And the same is sadly true for most cases where you'd expect some global brotherhood.
Device attestation is a way for a server to attest that a requester is e.g. an iPhone. Sure, it can be expanded to cover if the requester is, say, John Smith. But the server has to demand it.

Decentralized platforms tout not doing this stuff as a feature. You'd have to roll out the attestation system and require everyone running a web server to set up this attestation infrastructure; that is, the small guy running a model train forum on his laptop or whatever must risk prison time if he doesn't do attestation. That'd be so draconian that afaik not even China does it.
Ah and here is the link: https://atlas.findmytool.ai/
TL;DR at E3 in 2009 Tetris Company and their external PR people backdated the year of creation of Tetris from 1985 to 1984, specifically 6th June 1984, and then held a 25th Anniversary party for it on 6th June 2009. All previously existing printed material, copyright filings, documentaries, interviews with Alexey and Hank from before June 2009 state the game was created over a period of three weeks in 1985.

--

It's really curious why they would change this date, and specifically to a date that coincided with the Saturday after E3 in 2009. I suspect we'll never know the real reasons, or the real history of a game whose origins are still shrouded by the iron curtain. Hank and Alexey's story has changed frequently over the years, this 1985/4 date change is just the most recent and most perplexing.

The 1993 interview cited at the above link https://shmuplations.com/tetris/ says it was created in "three weeks", which means if it was first playable in June 1985 it certainly seems that it must have been created quickly before then.

Given that this happened 15 years ago, the "new" date is now embedded in the public record and Tetris Company are sticking with it. The "old" date had existed for 20 years from 1989 to 2009. Thankfully we have printed material, scans on Internet Archive, Wayback Machine, and Wikipedia's own edit history function we have more than enough information to call upon to see through strange historical revisions like this.

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but yeah generally speaking. You really don't need JS beyond what any of the project generators give you for a tonne of use cases. A lot can be handled where you need by the LiveView.JS module. Phoenix without LiveView definitely doesn't need JS.
Like like a fun project, although I kinda doubt the mass appeal. I think visual code projects are great though so I like it from a creativity perspective.
And a TPU! Together with it's CSI this board is perfect for running image related neural networks like face detection.

> It has 2 RISC-V cores

These are separated though, with the default firmware the big core runs linux and the small core runs rtos.

They implemented a protocol called mailman to interact between the big (linux) core and the small (arduino/rtos) core.

The 8501 also implements mailman and this core can be used to wake up the others.

The usb-c connection is used for rndis so you can plug it in and immediately access it's internal network. But the usb-c connection can also be used to flash Arduino code (replacing RTOS).
Additionally the board supports 5 serial consoles via UART.

I now own a couple of these boards and the possibilities of what I can do with them seem endless. I also have the Duo S which includes an additional CSI lane, an ethernet port and a usb port (as well as color coded gpio pins).

It's very platform-dependent, because for each one there are different ways in which a virus checks for markers that it's being analysed - for instance, if it's being ran in a VM, it might check registry entries, check for Guest-Host drivers or whatever, on Windows. Still, I wouldn't trust something like this if it asks for PII, isn't open-source and leaves traces around on the disk.
Apparently you have an answer in mind, do tell?
I’ve never heard of The Conversation before. Just looked at an article. Here’s a snippet from the article

There’s both bad news and good news about climate change in the future.

The bad news is that as long as we keep burning carbon, it will continue to get hotter and hotter.

The good news is that we can substitute clean energy, like solar and wind power, instead of burning carbon, to power the products and services of modern life.

This is something I’d expect to see written in a 6th grade textbook trying to get past Texas’ textbook adoption committee. They pretend to give a nod to the climate change deniers by writing, “there’s good news and bad news..” with the good news being a non sequitor. One can use clean energy and strive for that regardless of whether or not climate change is real.

The website did seem much less alarmist than Fox News, CNN, etc.
the part that is confusing you here is actually just [[1,2,3] [4,5,6]]. this is syntax for constructing a matrix (as opposed to [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]] with a comma which makes a vector of vectors). Julia has first class support for n dimensional arrays which is very useful for scientific/mathy code
If you look at ASEAN as an example of how these loose trade bloc works, they are durable, they tend to be respectful of one another’s sovereignty, and they haven’t fought one another for 60 years. There may be deals for cross border investments, economic zones. Importantly they all seek to move away from US influence.
Suno releases 'Audio Inputs' feature
10000 samples are nothing compared to 2^100 possible outputs. It is absolutely, definitely not a "brute search". Testing a small fraction of possibilities (e.g. 0.000001%) is called heuristics, and that's what people use too.

Please learn a bit of combinatorics.

> After all, the human solving these problem doesn't make 10k attempts before getting a solution, do they?

No. People have much better "early rejection", also human brain has massive parallel compute capacity.

It's ridiculous to demand GPT-4 performs as good as a human. Obviously its vision is much worse and it doesn't have 'video' and physics priors people have, so it has to guess more times.

That isn’t true, and isn’t what poisson clumping is caused by. Totally random independent events clump together entirely by chance: having experienced one doesn’t increase or reduce the probability of it occurring again.

>"I don't really see anyone phasing out the US dollar as a reserve currency."

The pig has grown way too big and is drowning in debt. Way too much overhead to keep feeding it. On top of that the US dollar is being used as a club which is an issue for countries that do not want to toe the line. Given a time the world will find a replacement.
AI Is Coming for the Jingle – and Maybe the Entire Advertising Audio Industry
It cannot utilize the arm and big risc-v core simultaneously. You can choose which one to use by jumping a gpio pin (or with a physical switch on the Duo S).

The big core typically runs Linux, while the smaller core typically runs RTOS (or arduino).
And using a protocol (mailman) they can communicate.

The 8501 also uses mailman and can be used to wake up the rest of the system.
But that’s the thing. The EU commission is by far vastly shielded from politics. They are not elected, they are nominated by the member states government, but due to the complexity of the EU they are always chosen from this limited and fairly homogeneous pool of professional bureaucrats.
It is not that they are even people or conspiring to create a Orwellian nightmare. But is the nature of power in the hands of the professional managerial class without real democratic input.

And we don’t know how to fix that. Politics is a spectacle ensuring that we vote for people who are poorly equipped to make the real decisions in a vastly complex system. The people itself are becoming dumber and less cultured.

I am starting to really think that being governed by an AI maybe is not a bad idea as long as no human can control this AI.

You propose stupidity as a plausible explanation for the error. It is indeed plausible that the person is stupid. Another plausible, and more likely, explanation is a minor mistake. One should try to use the most generous interpretation in such a situation. We don’t actually know the person in question so harsh judgements are not justifiable.

> I think you are 100% right that above-the-law communication is not good for society. This should be obvious. At the same time, allowing government to be able to spy everywhere is also not good for society. Also obvious. The correct solution is therefore something in the middle.

That conclusion is logically wrong and does not follow from the premises. You are decrying fallacies in other arguments while making them yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation

> The proposed legislation is terrible: it is not balanced and does not contain any safeguard to avoid abuse.

Then the logical course of action is to try to stop this legislation. Everything else about the argument is irrelevant right now, what matters is the close very bad thing in front of us that we can do something about. Eliminate that and then we can have a reasoned discussion about what the proper approach is.

> several independent justice organizations share the set of key needed to decrypt

There’s no such thing as keys that only good guys have access to. It has been shown time and again that someone with access will abuse it or be tricked.

I won’t go long on this point, however, as I was not familiar with your specific example. I’ll read up more on it. But again, that’s a conversation that matters later.
> Many unpopular laws are passed

How many? Can you list some of them? I think that your assumptions are kind of the general opinion, but I am interested in facts. I couldn't find "many unpopular laws being passed during such events", can you?
imo that seems like some pretty weird semantics. how do you write an operation that needs to bundle together lists of different lengths?

Why do Westerners hate the idea of BRICS so much ?

If western institutions and way of life are superior ,then capital will naturally gravitate towards them ..
It's fascinating that this is what they are claiming the legal basis is:

> The legal basis to support action in this area is Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The article provides for the establishment of measures to ensure the functioning of the Internal Market.

In other words: in order to trade efficiently in goods and services with each other countries need harmonised regulations. Countries have started to introduce individual laws to combat CSAM. Therefore these inconsistent laws interfere with operation the "internal market". Hence the EU can shut down private speech.

So somehow they twisted streamlining of commerce into termination of individual rights. It's wild to think how far that can be extended, if it can be the basis for this.

It also seems particularly ugly if you actually do frame it within the context that they are claiming: this is not "think of the children". It's actually "think of the commercial profit" - they literally say it themselves.
Many countries now contemplate being eventually kicked out of US dollar reserve and surviving that.

Really? What's the absolute standard that you are measuring that bias against?

Thanks for the feedback. We implemented the transform to strip TypeScript annotations (using esbuild)…

https://github.com/observablehq/framework/pull/129

but this approach stalled because it doesn’t implement validation of TypeScript: the TypeScript annotations are simply ignored. I felt this defeats the point of using TypeScript. We probably need to use tsc instead of esbuild to get type checking. Hints welcome!
I'm not sure there is a staff. Post authors are academic researchers and PhD students around the world. I don't mean to say every article is good. I've just been impressed by what I've read so far.
Too much "A", not enough "I" --- as always.

Any appearance of "intelligence" is largely derived from the application of two processes:

1) statistical analysis of huge amounts of training data or
2) trial and error feedback.

There are some applications for this sort of thing but real cognition and insight and understanding are severely limited.

In my opinion, a more accurate description for it would be a "suggestion engine". Any truth or insight or practicality embodied in the nicely worded "suggestions" is left for the user to determine.

For example, accept any "suggestion" made to cure the common cold at your own risk. Otherwise, a cold may become the least of your worries.
Intuitively I feel efficiency is the outcome of existing world model.. approach can look like yours - I don't see why there has not been efforts on scaling monte carlo tree search for extending the existing world model via tree search. My guess is that it would diverge to hallucinations too fast because it doesn't have a strong logical building block already

I'm sorry to say, TERRIBLE advice!

As many (or most) of C++ features, std::array is a logical idea with terrible ergonomics, bordering to unusable. While they are potentially a little safer to use than plain C arrays (but compilers could easily add runtime checking for plain C arrays too), they are much less ergonomic, both in verbosity of declaration and errors.

They can't replace an init-allocated std::vector either, because they have a size fixed at compile time.

And unique_ptr itself is TERRIBLE to use too. If RAII is your thing, then still very often, it's totally worth the boilerplate to wrap individual objects in type-specific explicit "Holder classes", instead of relying on std::unique_ptr which has terrible ergonomics too, again both for declaration and use.

Oh, and if you're using a free-standing destructor function for the managed object (which is often a very good idea because exposing the class definition in typical C++ style leads to TERRIBLE TERRIBLE compile times), you'll have to bake in a function pointer that is carried by unique_ptr at runtime (I suspect that is because they couldn't make the function a templated parameter because in C++, this leads to ambiguitiy if it is a static inline function declared in a header (terrible!)). So you're paying for all the all the drawbacks of the templated type and get none of the benefits (except for saving a few lines of boilerplate).

TERRIBLE.

And now you propose combining these two terrible things? How would you use this?

#include <memory>
#include <array>

struct Foo
{
~Foo()
{
printf("Bye!\n");
}
};

int main()
{
// std::unique_ptr<std::array<Foo, 42>> foo = std::make_unique<std::array<Foo, 42>>(); // my fingers hurt and my eyes bleed
auto foo = std::make_unique<std::array<Foo, 42>>(); // fingers hurt a little less but my brain will melt on next compiler error
foo->at(0); // valid
foo[0]; // error. TERRIBLE!
return 0;
}

I wouldn't be so upset about your advice if I didn't know you often don't validate your claims and "references", but keep on suggesting and criticising existing practice that has evolved to certain points (and keeps evolving!) for a reason.
Just not being available in app stores would effectively stop its usage.
Ok, I may have made an incorrect assumption (sorry).

But, do you have a method which results in the data being accessible to anyone other than the account owner?

I don’t know exactly what you provide. Or how you do it. But it does feel secretive, and that in itself makes people think the worst.

But I do know how NDA’s work, so that might be a part of it.

> That's what the US govt thought when it sanctioned Russia. It only resulted in Russia falling back to their local currency without any significant problems, while making the rest of the world wary of reliance on the US dollar

I think you're trying to spin reality into a far rosier picture.

Russia is now bounded to do international trade with any currency other than the ruble, and it is famously piling on a huge trade deficit with India while stockpiling rupees without any way of exchanging them for anything. You're talking about a scenario that not even Russia is able to use Russia's currency in direct trades with other BRICS members.

What does this tell you about "significant problems"?

> while making the rest of the world wary of reliance on the US dollar

You're commenting as if no one in the world was aware of the US dolar hegemony, and even if it was anything new. That's not what's happening in reality. Even the eurozone has been trying to leverage the euro as an alternative to the US dolar in markets like oil, and hasn't been that successful. If a trading block and economic powerhouse like the eurozone isn't able to shake that off, what tells you that Russia, whose economy barely matches Italy's, is an exception?
Remigration is a code word used by right wing extremists to say deportation, at least in Germany. I wouldn't use it as if it were a thing.
