for me that’s exactly how it’s work. For a government to be a dictatorship, you need a dictator. And one key element which define a person as a dictator is that his word is law, that’s in the name. doesn’t seem to be the case in Brazil right now.
The second key element, which more implied in the modern definition of dictator, is that it stay in position of power against the will of the majority of it’s country inhabitants. Against, doesn’t seem to be the case in Brazil right now.

I would welcome any elements which would invalidate my (quite incomplete, I recon) perception of the situation.
That is a good workaround.

In Chrome/Safari, this specific bug doesn't exist.

I don't think this is a "big" zero day. But if non-working navigation results in someone getting scammed then it might be big for them.
Another component here is that, even if nothing useful comes out of this AI boom, none of the principles of any of the companies expect to be held personally responsible for the decisions they take.

The statutory penalties in copyright law are large and ruinous for small-time violators. People have had their financial security and lives ruined by bittorrent lawsuits, for instance. Applied consistently these damages would run into the hundreds of billions for folks like Altman. But Altman and all of his cohort including Schmidt do not expect them to be applied consistently.
Q: does anyone think it possible to rival them in a decade with enough funding?

Another dismissive comment. What inspires these? The Q proposes a significant timetable and suggests adequate funding. I'd agree it's open ended but it sounds like the OP is inviting education on the topic.
It's a shame Bumble has changed. As a guy, I think even a token "hey" is good to know if they are at least interested in you.

The ratios are skewed so badly that women get at least an order of magnitude more likes that men on average, so having the woman at least indicating that they are marginally interested lets you know it's worth spending the effort on making the next move.

If you're an incredibly good looking guy, women will put some effort in, but for ordinary looking guys, the vast majority of women don't even bother to respond with an autoreply "sorry, not interested". They just ignore your message entirely, and there's only so many interesting and well-thought out first moves you can send based on something in someone's profile that you resonated with, only be be completely ignored, before you realise that it's all just an utter waste of time if you're not in that top 10% of guys.

To me, it seems that Bumble doesn't really know what it's lost by changing that behaviour, as it's now become just another Tinder.
This thing being there is evidence something somewhere went super wrong and now the entire system cannot be trusted by default.

Ask: was it put there intentionally? If yes, why? If it is there by mistake, and no one at google noticed it there, then how many other (actually properly hidden and actually exploitable) backdoors did they miss in their phone?
Not the full story. You are omitting the fact that Bolsonaro made several allegations of voter fraud on social media, and Brazil had their own version of January 6th after he lost (what you called "at best rioters"). These decisions are a response to those events, but your post paints him as a blameless victim.

The seemingly unlimited[1] power of the Judiciary is showing its ugly head in many countries: Brazil, the US, Israel and many others. We take it as God-given word, but it's worth remembering that the theory of the separation of the Judiciary from the other powers came from the head of a single man, and maybe he was mistaken. There's no reason for judicial review, despite the name, be in the hands of the Judiciary and not Congress or other elected body. If laws are unclear, let those with the power to change it to determine its meaning and improve the wording.

[1] Frankly, I believe this is Godel's loophole
This was something that was supposed to be solved by the original internet they just never got around to it. You are not wrong though... the issue as many people pointed out is that you are focusing on the transactions. The problem these companies solve isn't just the transaction network - their values is primarily how they deal with fraud, governance, currency conversions, etc.

Their graph off loss-making industrial enterprises looks slightly more dramatic than the underlying monthly data.

If you check the National Bureau of Statistics' data on 亏损企业 (月度数据 > 指标 > 工业 > 工业企业主要经济指标), https://data.stats.gov.cn you see that there is a yearly cycle where the number jumps in February: from 67,570 in 2021-12 to 132,371 in 2022-02 (January is skipped), from 91,222 in 2022-12 to 161,892 in 2023-2, and from 103,994 in 2023-12 to 167,895 in 2025-02. By plotting the last available month for every year, 2024 ends up sticking out a bit more than it will once the end-of-year data is out.

Nonetheless, the overall trend is undeniable.

One other optimization would be to process the points in parallel.

Regarding the coloring of each 3d point, it might be feasible to not use one camera image, but a weighted sum of all camera images that can see the same point in the scene. Each pixel color is then weighted with the scalar product of the points normal and the viewing direction of the camera. This would also regard for noise and specular reflections (which can mess up the original color).
Note that rich people (and at least one prominent ex-President, and I don't think he's the only one) actually do operate by that principle. They go on and enjoy their life, largely don't pay their taxes, and then hire an army of lawyers and accountants to clean up the mess when the IRS goes after them.

I was raised to play by the rules and do everything by the book, but sometimes I wonder if that's just something that people who have no intention of playing by the rules say to screw over us gullible people.

OrbStack (proprietary WSL and Docker Desktop clone for macOS with a GUI management application, very well made) uses LXC for all its 'Machine' guests, including NixOS.

Consequently, I can say that I use NixOS under LXC on aarch64 almost every day at work. :)

It runs perfectly well under LXC! NixOS also works well under WSL2 on Windows, though setting that up takes more footwork. If you're thinking about playing around with NixOS, virtualizing it— whether hardware or OS virtualization, whether on your laptop/desktop or in your homelab— is a great way to go.
I fail to see a specific news, the article cite a single example of a failed BEV OEM, there are many, it's perfectly normal that some are not good enough to survive. In our golden age of automotive we have had countless automakers, most have failed some have skyrocketed...

Aside overcapacity should be synonymous of low prices, I still wait to see here in EU prices like in the BRICS area for products imported from China. An example a BYD Atto 3 here cost a bit less than 40k€ while in Thailand cost a bit less than 10k€ https://asia.nikkei.com/content/1f9ed40b4b44745e1a39fafaf94b... such price delta have no justification in mere free market economical terms, have only political justifications NONE OF THEM acceptable by the civil society. I still wait to see LFP batteries prices drops like in China to have a well-sized home battery at a price cheap enough to make buying it convenient, let's say 50kWh for 5k€. Let's say 15kW p.v. inverter for 1.5k€ etc.

If China manufacturers goes broke we customers do the same in EU, and I suspect in USA to, simply to enrich some local cleptocrats.

Have been doing something similar to this using image to image translation (XYZ rendered images to RGB space domain). Most of the information is contained in the Z-axis which gives you the height information, e.g. helps to distinguish the grass and buildings color. However I am skeptical if the X and Y is noise and how much spatial information it provides during Conv blocks. Anyone who had previous experience on this?

Guessing the difference is that Brazil is currently controlled by a left-wing government and these censorship demands have a left-leaning bent to them, whereas India and Turkey have right-leaning governments and the censorship orders were to strengthen the right wing?

To me go is a scripting language. Bash doesnt have great concurrency or type checking. When I was pulling some discord and slack it got real slow with curl and unmanageable with bash. Few hours later i was done with it in go and it was super fast

I often have to do similar at work where you could just bulk process say ALB access logs with bash into some simple stats, And it would work but in the time it took for bash to complete which was about 7 days per days of logs on the services that I was working on I was able to write go code that did it in a under 30 minutes for a day of logs. I was also able to easily make it where it output to parquet instead and then started pulling the data up in Jupiter notebooks and being able to get every stat I ever wanted as opposed to chucking away 99% of the data and bash. That was also able to keep my computer mostly active and maximizing bandwidth and CPU.

And if it's in go it's entirely portable cross-platform and I can build a compiler binary I can just hand the people to do the same thing. Scripting languages require a lot of environment set up and libraries and specifics that are not always true on other people's machines.

And finally as the other person said I'm actually just good at go so why would I learn bash or another scripting language that's actually not as good for this solution space
I suspect that in a couple of decades, EV owners will think it's weird that we used to stop outdoors (in all weather) to put smelly chemicals into our cars.

> I don’t see how a government elected by the people can be considered a dictatorship.

You're a couple votes from becoming a dictatorship in any democracy, by definition: 1) amend constitution or equivalent to allow the vote, 2) vote in the dictator, 3) there is no step 3.
Personal time off (or maybe sometimes paid time off)
That'd be really nice. I miss the days when companies and agencies used their own website to communicate. Twitter gives them a a lazy, shitty way out.
Thats why the original poster said " judicial dictatorship" and not "Executive dictatorship".

The judicial branch, not the presidency, is the issue in brazil.
Isn’t spatial navigation a bit like graph walking, though? Also, AFAIK blind people describe it completely differently, and they’re generally confused by the whole concept of 3D perspective and objects getting visually smaller over distance, and so on. Brains don’t work the same for everyone in our species, and I wouldn’t presume to know the full internal representation just based on qualia.
Also, complied censorship requests can be applied per country in Twitter’s case. So, an account would seem closed in a country but visible to anyone outside. That applies to censored tweets the same way. I wonder what prevents that here.
I think that is the case now, but I don't believe it was necessary before 2023.

Thanks a lot! Questions:

- how soon did you get into the US during your journey? Was it a couple years in Europe, then immediately L1, then waiting 8 years for a green card? More like starting a job and moving 5 years later?

- do you expect the situation to change in the next couple years? the new election, current criticism of the H1B, apparently overdue reform of immigration due to border issues (?); I read that the Trump admin changed the H1B rules which made them closer to a lottery, maybe the process could change again?

- does Canadian _residency_ give you better chances of US job visas/residency? Do you need citizenship? I would be okay with staying a few years there if I find good jobs (or remote US jobs!)

- why is it harder to get a green card from the technical L1? how much harder? that's probably what I would be going for, unless I can find a job that includes both

- assuming that I manage to get respected in a field, but maybe not world-class researcher, does this help? in making companies more willing to sponsor me maybe? (I can probably co-publish more and get references if that's all it takes)

Yeah, but Apple didn’t care about WebObjects; it needed an operating system. And OpenStep on PC hardware was slow, crashy, unpolished, and generally much less pleasant to use than the fastest Macs at the time. Apple bought it because it had a fully working graphics architecture (BeOS couldn’t even print!), and vastly overpaid for it because Gil Amelio was an idiot.

Irony: the graphics architecture had to be fully rewritten from scratch for Mac OS X because Adobe didn’t want to support Display PostScript anymore. Have I mentioned that Gil Amelio was an idiot?

There's an even deeper foundation to this problem: copyright.

Artists must get paid, or they will either starve or stop making art.

This is the fundamental threat we have structured our entire civilization around. Art must be labor. Labor must have monetary value. Without income, people must starve and die.

To support this system, we have the most untenable law of the digital age: copyright. The most trivial act, to copy data, shall be monopolized.

But copyright didn't stop there. It grew. We use it to censor. We use it to moderate. We use it to end fraud. We use it to prevent libel. We use it to guarantee collaboration of work. Copyright has become the swiss army knife of law.

When a dull knife slips, it cuts deep.
I did. And rare were the autocrats government which came in power from a non-rigged, open election.

Two exemple which are frequently used as exemple are Italy and Germany in the 1930´s but neither Hitler nor Mussolini came in power through the election, but by strong arming the power in place, and after that (at least for Germany) use the excuse of rigged election to validate their power.
>Schmidt oversaw lots of “stealing” at Google, from Google Books (Author’s Guild), to Image Search (e.g. Perfect10 etc, before even Getty), the French press .. all before Viacom vs Youtube and others.

At least for Author’s Guild and Perfect10, google successfully argued fair use and therefore it wasn't really "stealing". I'm too lazy to research the other cases. Despite this, you're seemingly displeased at google's behavior despite it being ruled legal. What should have they done?

If you think about it.

Stripe, Block, PayPal only exist because of credit card networks (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Discover) and issuing banks (JPM, WF, BoA, foreign banks). Those last two groups of entities have such terrible integrations/interfaces and fail to improve due to their oligopoly on the entire process of facilitating buyer and seller payment processing.

Stripe, Block, PayPal are just mere parasites living off of other parasites (the 3-7% transaction/network/issuing bank fees).

A “rival” is a complete dissolution of these parasitic entities. Cash used to be a good alternative, but comes with its own set of setbacks that do not meet our modern era (ie, can’t pay for items with cash in e-commerce, pains of handling high amounts of cash IRL)
Unfortunately this is the correct answer.

> Fraud and Risk come in many forms, and these providers, even with their UX innovations, sit on top of those same rails to reduce fraud. Without those rails, buyers can’t trust sellers and sellers can’t trust buyers.
In my opinion, you need to find a way to solve that problem before you can eliminate the fees being captured by these providers.

And failing the elimination of those issues there will always be some fees. New vendors can pop in and push the fee structure down if they can run a more efficient operation.
