So either:

A) 1K/month (or the equivalent thereof) is not nearly enough to really make a difference in terms of increasing prospects to finding housing and the 3 groups could have just as well received $50/$51/$52 a month for all that it's worth. Or,

B) There's a roughly ~50/50 split of people who do not want to be homeless, who will do whatever they can do get themselves housed, and the other group that just don't care/unable/unwilling to find housing regardless of money, as the money will be used for other things in stead of finding housing.
makes sense, thanks for the correction.
If you can actually see both views at once (things in the mirror, and things ahead), then why aren't you looking at both of them concurrently all of the time? Why ever deviate your gaze?
Thanks for your comment! On the golang sub-reddit[1] was not that well received. I knew it will lead to that because some things are controversial and also on my part I should have probably explained more so I tried to do that in the comments there. It's hard to condense lots of info in one post, but I just wanted to write about these things cause I see them so often

> These days, you can easily find cheap RV1103 ("LuckFox"), BL808 ("Ox64/Pine64") and CV1800B/SG20002 ("MilkV") based dev boards, all of which have some sort of basic TPU. Unfortunately, they are designed to be linux boards meaning that all TPU related stuff is extremely abstracted with zero under-the-hood documentation. So it's absolutely unclear whether their TPUs are real or faked with clever code optimizations.

They all have TPU in hardware, my team has been verifying and benchmarking them. Documentation is only available for the high-level C APIs to the libraries that a programmer is expected to use, and even that tends to be extremely lacking.

"Not a noble reason, but it still wasn't their fault they were in that shitty situation."

Not so sure about that. I recall some of the journalists working with him on the release said, they were shocked to here, that Assange said he does not care at all about the life of the informants, as they were working for the US. (source, some article from "Spiegel", would be quite some work to dig that up)

So I do not trust, that he seriously was concerned about their lifes, making serious security considerations.

While I agree with the sentiment in general, I've came to the conclusion that what I really want is the flexibility of the natural language interface that LLM's provide, and the return of the correct document. No 'reasoning', no summarizing, just better search [0].

The issue with the current generation of models is that they can't reason, they may do very well at pretending to reason, but they can't [1]. Reasoning requires the ability to identify and reuse patterns, and while there has been some advancement in this area [2] with getting models to learn the underlying pattern and rule, it doesn't generalize. This results in models that will happily tell you that a statement is both true and false, and be unable to identify the logical problem with that.

Even creating summaries is difficult, and LLM's are more than happy to hallucinate even when summarizing documents, providing incorrect, or entirely made up facts [3]. The general workaround is multiple runs with the same work and averaging the response, but that's a lot of work, and energy.

> Why we are discussing anything other than restricting the ability of money to interfere with our modern processes when it comes to "democratic health" is beyond me.

That's the point though, not that many people care about the implementation of a democracy, which itself is a form of democratic will (or the lack thereof). The problem with simply "more democracy" is we might end up with these contradictions.

People don't care much about the fine details of the implementation of their governance. In an ideal world, they would have voted in people who'd tear up these "money is speech" laws, but we live in a world where the average Joe only cares and are receptive to catchphrases.
Locked out of 14 year old YouTube channel because tied to Hotmail.com email
I have a 14 year old YouTube channel that was linked to a Google account but it uses a Hotmail Address. I know the password but it keeps asking for 2FA phone number, I made the account years ago so obviously I don't have the number or even know what that number is! Without number it says open another device with that account, I don't have have one since its 14 years old!

I only lost access recently, I thought this YouTube was tied to actual my Gmail but it turns out I was only brand manager and I lost access when trying to merge them. Ironic this all happened because I actually wanted to give them money for YouTube Premium and now losing my channel of 14 years makes me not want to use the platform at all. Is my account lost forever since Google offer zero support?
The UK has something like this: it's called "legal deposit". Publishers of books and periodicals are required to send copies to the enumerated deposit libraries (one of which is in Ireland despite no longer being part of the UK).

Laws were passed to update this to the digital age, allowing the deposit libraries to archive UK websites. Unfortunately they don't right now archive video. It's also a bit limited given that web publishing is not national, so much UK content is published on US run websites.

See https://www.bl.uk/legal-deposit-web-archiving
If I recall correctly, the endangering information was not originally published by Wikileaks, but by other journalists (the decryption key was written in a book or something, my memory is fuzzy on this); and Wikileaks only published the whole thing once the cat was already out of the bag.

To sum this up, they were putting the redaction work, but someone else failed to, and at that point it was too late.
For certain scenarios there will be conflicts, take a boolean value. Client A sets it and client B unsets it. There can only be one winner.

But that might be a benefit from the proposed log sync, because these conflicting situations can be shown and marked for human review in the UI. Each step of change is well documented and the history can fully be reviewed.
That's not entirely true. Media corporations (or, to be more precise, the managers running them) often impose their own preferences and agendas even when doing so is contrary to audience preferences. This is a classic example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_purge
You have really hit the crux of the issue. We shouldn't allow corporations or individuals to control something that has become part of our shared culture. Beyond shortening copyright lengths to the absolute minimum required for the statet purpose of encouraging more creation we probably also need limitations on author rights for works that have gained widespread public adoption similar to how trademarks can become genericised. At some point you shouldn't get to decide if and how your creation is distributed even if you can still demand royalties for a while.
I just did that switch having been on iphone since the 6s. It is amazing how much choice there is on the Android platform. Having switched to Samsung immediately I get two software stores for a start. I'm not beholden to a single file service; Apps will integrate with multiple different options not just iCloud. I can download multiple browsers, with adblockers. I can download torrent clients without having to jailbreak.

Meanwhile I can't receive text chat integrated video above about 240p from iphone friends because Apple won't integrate with them. They're a shit company and I'll never buy their products again.
From the linked article:

> A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the Northern Mariana Islands District said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m. local time Wednesday (7 p.m. ET Tuesday) to plead guilty and that the Justice Department expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

Northern Mariana Islands District is US jurisdiction.

> as you can handle the quarter circle segments and line segments separately.

Possibly, but that is tricky in the presence of blitting modes such as XOR; the movement you accidentally draw a pixel twice, it would get flipped twice (nowadays, with anti-aliasing, it gets really tricky, but they didn’t have that problem yet)

You may want to draw the four circle segments in one go, too, as that allows you to share large parts of the computations for what pixels to touch.

Probably, but we still need to parse that string on the client side as well. If you’re willing to do the work I’m sure we would accept a pull request for it! There’s just so many things to do in so little time unfortunately. I think reducing our dependencies is a good thing, but our dependencies for JSON parsing/writing are used so commonly in Rust and the way we use it hopefully prevents any major security issues that I don’t think this should be a high priority for us right now compared to the many things we could be doing.
This has nothing to do with the merits (perceived or otherwise) of Assange's case.

Assange was never going to be extradited to the USA, because of the US Govt's behaviour in the Harry Dunn case (finally closed this month):

Harry Dunn was a UK teenager who, while riding his motorcycle was struck and killed by a car driving on the wrong side of the road close to a US Airforce base. The driver, Anne Sacoolas, was reported to be the wife of a US Intelligence Officer. Under the UK- US Govt agreement, Intelligence Officers could be prosecuted locally, but their husbands / wives had diplomatic immunity. The US Govt asserted diplomatic immunity (probably aided and abetted by the UK Govt), and Sacoolas was swiftly hustled out of the UK on a private flight by the NSA or CIS). Anyhow, after a long campaign for justice by Dunn's family, it turns out that Anne Sacoolas is herself a senior US Intelligence officer, so should not have had diplomatic immunity. Charges were brought in the UK, but the US Govt refused to extradite, despite a direct request from the UK Prime Minister (Johnson) to the US President (Trump). There has been huge and sustained public sympathy in the UK for the Dunn family in their quest for justice, and the UK legal system and civil service was seriously angered by the attitude of the US Govt. Anne Sacoolas finally pleaded guilty over video link to charges of causing death by dangerous driving earlier this year. The inquest on the death of Harry Dunn (which was delayed until the conclusion of the criminal case) concluded earlier this month.

The UK was not going to extradite Assange as the US Govt refused to extradite Sacoolas. There was enough noise around the conditions that Assange could be held in, or the possibility of him facing the death penalty, for UK judges (who have a lot of independence) to raise questions on Assange's possible treatment in the US, and refuse an extradition request - it had already been going round in circles on this question for years.

Everyone wanted a face saving resolution - and with the possibility of a Trump presidency next year, the UK Govt did not want to have a point of contention with Trump, and his severely transactional approach. So, this is a face-saving compromise for the UK and US Govts. Assange pleads guilty (so the US says they have brought him to justice), Assange goes home (not to the US), and the UK Govt gets a nasty diplomatic problem resolved.

For me, that's [unfortunately] the only "realistic" alternative out there, if one wouldn't mind the extra bucks, is somehow dependent on Windows environment and/or has no time to keep hacking and experiencing with Linux desktops.

I've grown to love Linux as a wonderful server OS, and as an occasional Desktop OS to play with on a VM.
Unless you're a hacker (at both work and in your free time), it's hard to keep using Linux as a main daily Desktop OS.
The biggest supporting platform is sshd. I wish Microsoft the best in their efforts.

> Authors should have that inalienable right

Why? What do we as a society gain by allowing individuals continued control over parts of our culture include the ability to erase them.
Mostly because it is injection molded, and that sharp corners on plastics are prone to crack.

I fucking hate when websites straight up hide information on smaller screens.
>innocent until proven guilty and all that

To be fair, he was refusing to face trial. And he is expected to plead guilty, so he isn't innocent.

That said, there may be legitimate questions about whether the United States should be entitled to exercise jurisdiction over foreign nationals who are not physically present in the jurisdiction for national security offences.
Why did they laugh? They drone kill plenty of people.
TLDR after watching Video clip: "I accelerated my 3 ton 4 seconds to 60 EV tank downhill for 8 seconds and was shocked it didnt stop in the 2 seconds I was actually applying brakes"

It was easily doing 60 at the bottom, but kept accelerating uphill for couple more seconds, probably to 80 before he started braking. No car would stop in those 50 feet. It wouldnt make it even if he started braking just after crossing the bottom.

The issue here is that the Grimms sanitized and changed stories, but then released them under their own name, just like Anderson.

Changing the text and claiming that they are still the versions written by those people is the issue.

By all means sanitise and change fairy stories as much as you like, but they must be released under the new authors name, not the originals.
> It sounds like the suggestion is that retracting / completely discontinuing a book should only be part of the moral rights, not the economic rights.

It shouldn't be part of any rights. At best the author should be able to demand to not have his name associated with the work.
I asked the CTO/R&D manager at a company I worked for once why he didn't bother getting talent or retaining talent, he said (paraphrasing): "Because I can't scale talent I might as well don't bother with it"

Many large corps are fine with being on the thick part of the Bell curve, their managers can easily scale if the board says they should output more, they are essentially linearizing their whole company around a point and they can scale up/down around it.

It works until someone else innovates and beats them, and then the loop repeats.

It's in some sense good that CxO's behave like this, because it leaves opportunities for smaller companies all the time.
> falsly accused of rape with the goal to extradite to the US,

Where’s the evidence that he was falsely accused?
It does! Uses the `lang` tag to check which one is it
At that rate? lolno. When interest rates were low you would pay more than that for a 10 year fix. Now with high interest rates one bank is bragging about having the longest fixed rate mortgage at 15 years. The US government strongly incentivizes long-term low-rate mortgages in a way the UK government does not.
This reminds me of a saying ...
For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
You have lived a very priviliged life and you should be very grateful for it. Unfortunately most others are not in the same situation.

Lots of people use their experiences with fairy tales to internally deal with things like abusive relatives/relationships, prejudice, rejection, homelessness etc.
>We also know our solution is better because we have data around how fast our model runs and how quickly it processes data.

Why “add value”, instead try removing extraneous features and figure out what the core of your offer is, and focus on doing that right. In other words , cut the fat out.
Going 'full left' is the exact reason Labour hasn't been in power for 14 years.

You are describing the recipe for a one-term government IMO - Elections are won from the center, and moving Left will open a center gap for someone else to claim.

The last time a 'full left' Labour government ruled was probably just after the war (i.e. Clement Attlee).
