1) You've got your chronology and causality wrong[1]. No, I did not "stalk [your] other comment threads" after my other response to you.

2) And no, pointing out flawed logic in an argument is not a "personal attack".

3) My interests and motivations don't affect the validity of my arguments. I just said that assertions aren't proofs (here), and that working for a particular employer is a choice, not mandatory (elsewhere, at your link above). Hitler could say either of those, and it would still be correct. So could Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Emperor Bokassa, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Churchill. See how it has nothing to do with ideology?

4) What you claim are "proofs" are still just assertions, and working for a particular employer is still a choice. You were wrong, that is all.

A cloud provider wouldn't use NUCs. Seriously, they have better things to do with their time than rack and stack multiple tiny boxes with PSUs (and, apparently, external USB fans as well).

Also, serious cloud providers (besides using server-grade hardware) have to follow proper equipment destruction and recycling procedures--Azure datacenters, for instance, used to have an on-site industrial shredder for disks (which were nevertheless hardware encrypted, but any failing storage was destroyed anyway).
Huh, I guess that's true, even on wikipedia. I will have to stop using the word then. Though I'm pretty sure most people use it in day-to-day with much more abandon.

Innovation in the most.simplest way, let me give you a simple example.

Give an LLM the documentation of a library/framework it has no training data on and ask it to implement a specific thing based on that documentation.

It will struggle to come up with code that makes sense. Even if it does have training data on the language itself, similar frameworks, etc.

Ask the same of a human who does have the same "experience" and they will be able to come up with something reasonable.

first of all many thanks for the details!

I have spent some time looking at this and trying to get a feel for what's going on.

so it's a CFP, as part of this amazing circular bio-economy joint venture make-it-rain for the whole tech-readiness family! [0]

the specific one that you linked is ... research and innovation, but ... it looks extremely broad.

so, okay, it's not "basic research" (much broader than, let's say, "how to get the glue out of furniture leftovers"), but then what's the money for? (shouldn't this consortium already have a ton of projects ready for evaluation?)

and of course the verbiage is thick as fuck. it's not clear for me - again as an example - that if proposals MUST look at regulation induced bottlenecks or it's an "at least one of them" situation. (also, does it mean that think-tank-style NGOs can propose to do a survey of the regulatory framework and in theory get money for that alone? -- yes, I know, I should check the Annexes, and the call-specific docs/forms [but that's only available after registration?])

...

of course there are sections that absolutely seem to be prime candidate for consultant busywork ("avoid overlaps with past, ongoing and upcoming EU funded projects, including those funded under H2020, HEU and the BBI JU and CBE JU, ... P4P ... NEB ...."... WTF!)

...

all in all, it seems that when the EU wants to do something it ought to do an OKR hierarchy. (and yes, that's exactly what's happening with this 2 billion joint this and that. the objective is circular bio everafter, and the "key results" are reuse/recycle (valorization), etc.)

great. good job EU. still, if it costs 100K to file paperwork for this, I want my money back! :D (well, no I don't want it back, I want the grant system to be reformed so it costs 10x or 100x less to file. and let's spend the rest on writing better CFPs and so on.)

Sometimes you feel like implementing one will take shorter than configuring one.

> I just feel an unsurmountable sense of apathy to new publications[…] disinterest in themes being addressed […]

You've nailed it: there's a massive disconnect because this alienation of the interested reader as well as the average person, is not even recognised as a problem.

It's wild that I was told something similar by a mentor. And it's an excellent strategy.

I think truckers have significant UXUI AND regulation on how long they can drive.

Crocodiles were taught to stop eating deadly toxic cane toads in Australia
Toxic cane toads are an invasive species in Australia, brought to the country in the 1930s to control agricultural pests. Native species like freshwater crocodiles eat them and die. Now a team has found a way to train the crocodiles and other lizard species to avoid the toads by substituting a non lethal toxin in toad carcasses.
You can use "keyscript=" in "/etc/crypttab" to run any script you want.

Using that you could set up networking and download the key from somewhere (say a remote KMS that would need user approval before continuing). So you would reduce your problem to being prompted on phone to unlock your desktop.

You could even use some sort of hardware key to prove request came from the physical server. (simplest might be a RP2350 with some key burnt in)

Or you could use something like SGX if it's still available anywhere to prove the same.
Not sure I agree with the idea that you should validate only on the backend, I think you should do both. Backend validation is for you, to ensure that the data is valid and sane, frontend validation is for the user, so they can get early feedback if something is wrong.
Sure.
A cloud provider can copy your data without you knowing, they might migrate a host from one cluster to another and copy the data along with it and I would find it unreasonable to be held accountable if they forgot to scrub the source.

It would still be my problem at the end of the day.
How does this explain that it's a bad analogy? Both of these are true and can apply to both.

No, that's exactly what I meant. The author says they want to write a plugin which uses spine-cpp to render Spine skeletons.

A user of that plugin needs a Spine Editor license. The author of the plugin does not. Users of the engine not using the plugin do not need a license either. That's how integrations with e.g. GameMaker, Defold, etc. have worked for years.

That was not part of the threat model in the section of the post that mentioned data diodes.

Genre fiction readers usually do not want something that obviously comes from another time. They want something that is just unique enough to catch the eye, but largely similar to whatever cover trends are currently popular.
KPI Metric Card Component
Nobody in this thread has said the book is racist. The question was whether you can see the motivation of retitling from a publishers (or for that matter booksellers) perspective. If you want people to buy the book, the old name is a turn off whether the content is raciest or not.
Who said the title implied the book was racist? Nobody said that, you're making things up.

You just don't put that word on the cover of a book due to "changing cultural trends"
That example doesn't match my experience of either LLMs (I've given them my own private projects and libraries and the best LLMs are fine) or human developers (who, myself included, say or think "WTF" a lot on new codebases), and also isn't a definition.
I took a photography course in the 90s and we did some 3D images that you looked at two photos through a viewer or by going cross eyed. The teacher tried to get us to invest in some lenticular pictures but the cost for a 16 year old was just too much. As I understood it back then, they cut your 2 images into very thing strips and then interleaved half of them. I'd not thought of it much since but of course it makes sense that a good photo printer and the right software could make this all far simpler.
It's sad to see your factual statement downvoted.

There was indeed a huge backlash in the UK, amongst authors and the public, when publishers sought to edit classic children's books by Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton to make them politically correct. Children a quite capable of understanding something was written at a different time.

I am taking a break from my LLM subscriptions right now for the first time to gain some perspective and all I miss it for is as a code assistant. I would also miss it for learning another human language. It seems unsurprising that large language models use cases are with automated language. What is really surprising is how very limited the use cases for automated language seems to be.
Well, that is to be expected from Electron-based apps.

Every single entertainment service of product in the history of entertainment has been designed so the user has the most entertainment as possible, and its up to the user to moderate consumption. Nobody creates entertainment services that are boring on purpose just because they believe in temperance or whatever, and if they do, nobody uses them because by definition they are more boring than they could've been.
It's fine if they don't use the Spine Runtimes to playback animations, i.e. via sprite sheets. Most will want to use the Spine Runtimes though, which requires them to have a Spine license.

I'm very curious about that. It sounds like the kind of thing which is done just because it can be done. But in doing so adds a wast amount of complications and makes everything very error-prone (as you say).

It’s never really resonated with me either. But I think this thread has a good example in it: a patent not wanting their child to read a book in which people consider “you” to be an acceptable costume (making you feel strange or uncomfortable, since kids often don’t like being singled out or noted as different — especially not in a way meant to exaggerate and lean in to stereotypes). This is doubly true when the kids may already feel self conscious about their race due to any existing racism they personally encounter in the society.
Like other networks, dumb pipes (roads) and smart endpoints (self-driving cars) will serve us best in transportation. Vehicle to vehicle communication makes almost no difference to the remaining hard problems Waymo is working on. E.g.

Public Service Annoucement: If you only watch one informative documentary about the Cane Toad issue in Australia, make sure it's

Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_Toads:_An_Unnatural_Histo...

Lewis avoided harming toads and other wildlife during the production of the film. During a scene in which a man talks about intentionally running over toads with his car, footage appears to show a car swerving to hit toads. To simulate this, Lewis used potatoes which when shot at a distance appeared like toads on the road.

I agree, but they are choosing a dead end path:

whoever wants to know where they are can sample DNA from as many relatives as possible, surreptitiously.

Nanopores can be made with dielectric breakdown of a thin piece of etched wafer.

Low input current noise op-amps can be used to measure the nanopore signal.

A dedicated skip tracer will find you through environmental DNA.

If you play on the harder difficulties, you are limited by the number of platforms you can build (even if you later delete one). You earn more by delivering certain shapes, with more complex shapes giving more points. It means your platforms both need to be efficient, and you need to be thoughtful in how you place them.
What's the big deal about Deterministic Simulation Testing?
Having rudder and propeller on different stations can be useful to organize work on the bridge, especially on a warship. The possibility of having the two propellers on different stations is imho insane.
The only reason that I can think of is a runaway "safety" requirement ~"if one prop control fails you still must be able to take control of the other prop on a different station". That would fit what the article says about them essentially running in manual backup mode all the time and not in the intended mode of operation.
I think the ePrivacy Directive's choice of the phrase "gaining of access" is important when talking about passive things like a server receiving a client's user agent string.

"gaining" implies that some sort of active participation and intent in requesting, retrieving or processing the information is required on the part of the server, rather than passively receiving something a client sent without being solicited. After all, if a cybersecurity law refers to "gaining access" to a computer system, doesn't it refer to actually accessing it, rather than that access was merely possible? However, IANAL and I wouldn't want to test this in a court myself ;-)
Underhanded? Why don't you tell me what it means to you? If someone asked me what the minimum money I'm willing to take is, then I guess I might think they're the kind of company that would ask me questions like, "what's the minimum amount of RAM your program will need in production?" and stuff like that. Shrug.
The UK also massively rejects the idea of a national ID. Makes it harder to implement and interact with government services, but, you know:

Great read
I'm not saying your observation is inaccurate, but as a society we _let_ these companies continue to do whatever they want without consequence.

1% of users in a data leak having their identities stolen or 1% of the cities in the world becoming uninhabitable due to heat isn't enough to demand action, what about 10%? Is 25% where we draw the line?
Patrick Collison: books in the tech canon
This is not even a secrets manager problem. Those have their place but it’s a different link in the chain, or I guess layer in the onion.

The answer to this type of thing is full disk encryption (FDE). There’s zero reason not to have it on every device at the block level. Especially if you’re going to be processing highly sensitive data.

You can’t even trust disks to actually delete things anyway. So the only way to be sure that information is not leaked is to prevent it from ever being persisted to disk in plaintext.
Such a good illustration of how value is placed beneath personal opinions.
