Have you ever been to a housing project focused on “giving people housing”? The outcomes aren’t quite as good as you seem to imply. Rampant drug dealing, abuse, overdoses, and violent crime including (but not limited to) sexual assault and robbery. The properties often end up destroyed after only a year or two of being used for this purpose.
That's called the Brussels effect and I'm not sure why it's still relatively unknown. The EU has a massive influence on standards all around the world

The phrase used by the attorney general was “enough is enough”. He was found guilty today and sentenced to time served, which was 5 years 1 month. David McBride seems to have been sentenced to 5 years 8 months. Where did you read he was jailed for life?

I don’t agree with either sentence, but they do not appear at odds with one another.

Best Image to Image LLM?
I want to generate a background image using the Image-based LLM model. My goal is to place my product into this AI-generated background.

My ultimate objective is to create social media posters for promoting my product. For example, I have a product called "Baby Cart" and I want to place that baby cart onto the LLM-generated background.

I don’t disagree, but I’ll observe that governments used to be much less friendly with tech incumbents, at least in public.

Ten years ago it was a scandal that big tech interacted with the surveillance state at all: Zuckerberg drove an initiative around cross-DC encryption at ruinous expense because of the mere accusation that the NSA might have a tap.

Today they’re giving us the finger with NSA board members. It’s flagrant, arrogant, and anti-hacker anything: you will do nothing, because you can do nothing.
This is an idiotic statement. The governments I'm most familiar with are criticised daily.

No, governments have just realized leaks don't matter. The age of conspiracies is over; the public no longer distinguishes fact from BS so it doesn't matter what is and isn't out there on TikTok.

This. For a model to consistently output that Taylor Swift is a comedian or something similarly wrong at reasonable temperature settings, there must be a problem in the training data. That doesn't mean that "Taylor Swift is a comedian" needs to be in the training data, it it can simply mean that "Taylor Swift" doesn't appear at all. Then "singer" and "comedian" (and tons of other options) will likely appear at similar probabilities during generation.

Blaming human semantics for LLMs is generally a bad idea, since we only use human semantics to qualitatively explain how the models abstract ideas. In practice you simply don't know how the model relates words.

They (most of SE Asia) were enabled by the Japanese to kick the Europeans out of their colonies.

Never mind that the Japanese lost or that a good number of SE Asian countries weren't fans of Japan, they saw first hand that the Europeans could be pushed aside.

Many countries in the region post WWII pursued citizen lead democracies that expressed interest in socialist policy | ideals; these didn't fare well with post war European colonial powers pissing in US ears and encouraging coups and pro US military dictators.

The US|UN aligning with Indonesia against Dutch interests is one example that seems to break that pattern, however US mining interests and US anti communist interests aligned in not wanting a war of Indo Vs Dutch that would send Indo back to the communists and ruin chances of huge US owned mined in W.Papua.

In 2016, Julian Assange intentionally timed the release of Hillary Clinton's emails in an attempt to harm her presidential campaign, after she condemned the diplomatic cable releases during her tenure of Secretary of State.

Whether directly or otherwise, even if only the smallest amount, his vendetta led to her loss, and Trump's subsequent win. In 2016, the NYT wrote, "First, citing his 'personal perspective,' Mr. Assange accused Mrs. Clinton of having been among those pushing to indict him after WikiLeaks disseminated a quarter of a million diplomatic cables during her tenure as secretary of state. 'We do see her as a bit of a problem for freedom of the press more generally,' Mr. Assange said." (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/us/politics/assange-timed...)

Is there any evidence that he's shown a reconsideration for that position?
There will be no terraforming of it for multiple reasons. This was already obvious.

Human habitation of Mars will proceed nonetheless in closed habitats above or underground.

It require bringing vast amounts of starter resources from Earth, and then prospecting for water while scavenging atmospheric nitrogen and carbon. It would be difficult to sustain settlements on Mars if native resources cannot be extracted economically, or if bidirectional trade between Earth and Mars was unable to be established.

Remember the MS case from the 90s? It didn't bring the supposed split and instead, end-users got an option to "hide" various software. The company kept its dominant position and is abusing it as we speak. Even the browser choice window enforced by the EU didn't change much IMO. Surely, Firefox managed to cut slice of market share but lost it to Chrome which heavily "promoted" their browser. In the end, we're living in a Chromium-dominated reality where even Microsoft uses it.

I'd like to believe that we still can found politicians, govt officials eager to work for the public interest and against wealth of the corporations, their monopolies. But it seems almost impossible considering lack of significant and damaging to the monopolies antitrust proceedings in last 20 years. I'd assume there are deals behind public eye where govts turn, well, a blind eye - perhaps getting something valuable in return.
The previous commenter’s claim was that she wasn’t putting that above it hurting her husband, rather that she simply acted out of her personal dislike for him. Also, why do you state “domestic terrorist” as if that automatically has a negative connotation? Further, why do you claim he was insane? Lastly, what evidence do you have that he planned to continue his bombing campaign when he informed the NYT that he would stop if they published his manifesto?

I don't think law, justice or even diplomacy are very relevant for most of this case.

1900 days in isolation (human rights violation), falsly accused of rape with the goal to extradite to the US, jailed outside of the US on behalf of the US (but not officially), and just the simple fact that a journalist gets jail time for exposing war crimes.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with law or justice. This is about a handful of people above the law trying to save their *sses. Anything could happen at this point.

Reminds me of when a foreign diplomatic aircraft (Equador) was forced to land in a foreign country (France), because the US thought Snowden might be on board. Remind me of the relevant law that allows for this please? lol

I’m pretty sure my pension has holdings in around 100 hedge funds — but it has more allocated to private equity and real estate. The endowment has more in hedge funds than the pension iiuc, but in basically the same funds. The investment office also announced last year that it is going to divest from hedge funds and re-allocate that to private credit. The chief investment officer said the hedge funds didn’t proved any hedge in 2000, 2008, or 2020.
The ideas described here are very similar to what SSB (https://ssbc.github.io/docs/ssb/faq.html) implemented.

The main problems with having a log is that it grows with every single change (how granular are your changes? with CRDTs, any mutation, no matter how small, is a change). Questions of data retention (is your protocol tolerant to missing log entries?) or data rewriting (if your log is a merkle tree, rewriting something in the past means rewriting all subsequent entries) are also open.

The post also mentions that the log entries could be CRDTs. But if that's so, then you don't need a log at all, since all the information you need to compute the minimal delta to sync between peers is inside the CRDT itself. For a good overview of how this could be done, see (specifically the "Calculating Diffs" section): https://ditto.live/blog/dittos-delta-state-crdts (disclaimer: I work at ditto)

There was an incident where a driver drove through a barrier and onto a bridge that was out, and crashed. Google maps directed him across the bridge.

Who was at fault there?

A basic tenet of driving is you should be looking where you're going.

That said, streets should be made reasonably safe because there are always drivers who don't pay attention. But that doesn't mean we should pay those negligent drivers.

As for the sidewalk, the city should have forced a fix for it. That's a separate issue from paying the stepper.
Maybe it’s a reference to one of their songs? Not really familiar with NOFX (aside from them being the favourite band of some of my favourite bands), but maybe they have a song about jobs or having a job.
I highly doubt this will go anywhere, it is much more likely to get some custom equality in data structures.

Well, yeah, that goes to show how subjective this is: I couldn't care less about Pimp My Ride, but, even if I never had access to MTV News, I can understand how people could get emotionally attached to music and related programs.

In a game context, where we're spewing state updates out 10-60x per second, there is always a newer packet in flight already, so discard-on-loss produces the same result.

In your scoreboard example, you probably just want an actually reliable stream for that - it's not like scores are rolling in so fast that it's beneficial to deal with it as unreliable.
It makes you wonder if the glaring typos weren't introduced just to make the pre-print seem pre-print-y.

I admit I struggle to get further into the game when I pick it up from time to time but the ingame leaderboards really are missing a "balanced" category. I mean, that's how optimization usually goes, no? Focusing on just a single metric to the catastrophic detriment of all others might be funny but that's about it.
Depends on the foreign country. It's the US, so yes.
The blog explicitly mentions them but describes them as questionable. Basically claiming they where fabricated by a person with close ties to the police after their attempt to push the first set of rape accusations failed when the original victim refused to cooperate. It gives a few official documents that ordered changes to the original testimony as proof that the Swedish authorities where not above fabricating evidence push the rape claim.
This is such a tired trope that should have died in the early 2010s.

Those who don't like their direction should just switch to a different OS.

Cloud integration brings features which customers want. Customers still can't even be trusted to back up their own data. Customers don't want to upgrade their OS because they don't fully value the huge number of advancements that come with major revisions.

I got something like 7-10 licenses for windows 7 via a student program when I was in undergrad. Literally haven't paid for a single windows license in over a decade because the upgrades are free and transferable to new hardware in many cases.

This is not the outcome one would expect if msft was anti-user. Think about it.
Cool board!

Would any of the "retro" game/home computer firmwares fit in that FPGA? I find comparing capacity hard for stuff like that.
I work in manufacturing, and we had this exact issue. We implemented biodegradable bags for packaging a product, and then found out customers were unhappily opening said product to find the decomposed remains of the bags.

Definitely a tricky thing to get right.
Yes, I remember his bad faith offers, thinking that he has the right to decide on how a sovereign country's justice system should work. What I don't remember was any reasoning on why he thought it more likely that he'd be extradited from Sweden to the US rather than from the UK, who are particularly close?

Anyway, I see you've drunk the koolaid and are in full defense mode, so I'll leave you to it.
NAT traversal, historically. Reliably punching one hole through the local NAT gateway is bad enough, adding a second protocol into the mix was asking for trouble.

Stevens's Power Law
For all the words portraying Sun Ra’s visionary attitude, that might be something others have projected onto him, for his real views and self-importance were the opposite of some of the suggestions written here.

For example, he objected to the late, great, Carla Bley, being in the Guild because she was a woman!

“In one meeting, Sun Ra said aloud to all the members of the group that I would sink the ship because that’s what women do. I was furious. I got up and said, ‘You son of a…’ I really yelled at him.”
then this wasn't a good experiment at all then

Only because the garden walls are so thick.

There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to install Arch on either the Xbox or PS5, the hardware is 80-90% off the shelf stuff anyway.

Why can't I have a proper web browser on either? There are no technical limitations, only the walls of their garden we wilfully ignore.

Amateur hour over there. I’m not sure what’s going on at Microsoft, but it really seems like the quality of the decision making on the product level has gone down a lot in the Windows org.
I know nuclear power stations have no sharp corners to make them easier to clean.
But if it's possible to degrade it i solar-powered furnaces without any hazardous/toxic byproducts, it's already worth it. Or if microorganisms could decompose the buried stuff. Also composting is an exothermic reaction, generating heat up to 60C, which is above normal temperature anyway. The question is how waterproof it is, can it get wet or store liquids.
Well there was no real mobile market 20 years ago, but for desktop software there was a huge industry of software you would download from websites.
You only need an LLM for this if you want the background to be a direct result of the context you put it in.

It's possible, but risky, since it's our of your hands what the model will create. The current models do not have a foolproof method to keep output safe. You may end up with some, shall we say, interesting promotional material.

We aren't talking about other rights. We're talking about this one. And THIS particular right is rooted in the fourth, fifth, and ninth amendments but isn't actually found in the constitution as a singular entity and wouldn't be codified until the 1960s. Guess which court case created that right in the first place? Griswold v Connecticut. Guess which one was overturned along with Roe v Wade because there's no explicit mention of a right to privacy in the Constitution? Same one.

The basis for the right which was, in part, ABSOLUTELY rooted in the idea that the because people and governments have a tendency to discriminate against you based on what you believe, then as long as you do not disclose your interests publicly, there should be no basis for discrimination. And why is this discrimination so important when NOT dealing with the government (which are nothing but glorified property protection rackets)?

Economics. Specifically, trade. That thing that mankind has been doing since before we've actually had recorded history? Whether it's bartering or seashells or labor or whatever, it's an essential part of being human, because it's how you get things you need to survive.

Again, we do not assign rights for which we cannot find a real purpose. You cannot be a functioning human being in a society without economic activity, whether you perform it or someone performs it on behalf of you.

You're flat out wrong.
Have to see if they actually do it. Saying it means very little, it’s not a controversial position.

I asked the same question years ago. :)

The probable answer is that he thought about modeling the rectangle with rounded rects with a single mathematical expression. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15073696

That's probably impossible (as rounded rects are not continuous) but also completely unnecessary as you can handle the quarter circle segments and line segments separately.
Yeah "collateral" and "isolated" incident.

> Knowing that a language is installed by default on the most popular Linux distribution can simplify certain concerns considerably

The author laments the decline of such knowledge, but the proliferation of containers, combined with the marketing efforts of the large cloud providers has reduced the number of people who work with servers directly.

I should say that this knowledge can be useful in certain niche situations, though. For example, I recently learned that GitHub Actions pulls in a basic set of utilities by using complicated distro detection[1], and Gitlab runners similarly pulls in a Docker image with git just to clone a repository!

Instead, the proper way to address this situation would be to compile static binaries, that, by their very nature, become distribution agnostic. The only reason I assume this wasn't pursued, I assume, would be that the developers working on this weren't even aware this was an option.

It's the reason I've been maintaining a small set of packages[2] that I mount into every CI container for my personal projects. I'm also quite hopeful about the cosmopolitan project[3] that builds fat binaries which can bridge this gap, although as I discovered, some containers even lack tools like gzip (which cosmopolitan depends on), so maybe static binaries it is.
