we DO pay for internet and internet products, in so far as actual internet and actual internet products. I pay ISP, I pay VPN, I pay some security services.

further in my humble poor opinion; If the only way to secure funding/guarantee your product/job/life is by having completely irrelevant, predatory ads hosted in your space, maybe you should go int oa different field, or not expect to make money off of a niche hobby application.

Hosting a website, app, service, (if not a paid service), should be "cost of doing business". Or "cost of maintaining a hobby which I'm broadcasting."
It is a great disservice to our children that the "default" in life is "you will pay for this ,and you will watch brain rot ads"
When I was an undergrad doing the mandatory measure theory course, I stumbled on a super old book(pre-1950 if I remember correctly, library card showed 3 people taking it out in the last 10 years) ,the name of which I forgot, that basically "re-built" the process that Lebesgue/Caratheodory/Riemann/etc followed, the problems they encountered (i.e Vitali set), why Lebesgue measure was the way it was and so on.

I really wish I could remember the name of the book, but it made so much more sense than how even something like Stein Shakarchi or Billingsley, which introduced measures by either simply dumping the Vitali set on you as the main motivation or just not really explaining why stuff like outer measure/inner measure made sense.
The level of cleanliness you talk about matters for FOSS people like us. The kinds of risks Adobe's Firefly customers might care about might be lower. They probably don't care that the model knows what the text string "C3-PO" means, but absolutely don't want it drawing random bits and pieces of other copyrighted images without being prompted for them.

My understanding was that CLIP handled prompt comprehension - like, there's a set of vectors in CLIP space for "gold humanoid robot" that "C3-PO" would map to from the small language model, and pictures of C3-PO would map to from the image model in CLIP. But the U-net doing the actual image diffusion wouldn't know how to fill that part of CLIP space with the specific copyrightable representation of the Star Wars character unless it'd been trained on the same set of images. It might generalize how to draw a gold robot, which is not a copyrightable image feature, but not C3-PO specifically.

It's entirely plausible that a court might say training CLIP on copyrighted material is OK, but training the VAE or U-net layers is not, based on the technical capability of each layer to reproduce trained-on material.

The moral arguments being bandied about by artists are broader than copyright. Firefly - or even a fully public-domain-trained model - cannot satisfy them. Being trained on is a moral insult, but they would still be insulted by AI bros and corporate stooges boasting about how AI can eliminate entire classes of artistic work. To be clear, the AI models we currently have - as well as those we will have in the future - are not useful tools for artists. The problem is not a lack of training data or the provenance of said data, it's the fact that text is not a good interface for visual artists.

It is, however, a very good interface for people who want artists to go away. What AI art is doing in 2024 is satisficing - i.e. providing viewers and users of art with a good-enough market substitute.

The bigger questions you raise about ownership are orthogonal to the questions of who gets to own the model. The artists opposing AI rightfully want to see tech companies bleed, because tech companies are the same companies who sold their bosses on the tools that steal their wages - e.g. streaming services that pay fractions of a cent if you're lucky. If AI were to prevail the alternative would then be to engage in copyright laundry in protest. e.g. "If you won't protect us against AI, then we'll weaponize it against the media conglomerates who want to use it to fire us with."

Even that is more subtle. RSASSA-2048-PKCS#1v1.5 is fine if leaking that you signed the same plaintext more than once isn't a threat. If that is a threat then you need RSASSA-2048-PKCS#1v2, (AKA RSA-PSS-2048).

RSAES-2048-PKCS#1v1.5 has implementation-dependent security; implementations keep getting broken due to padding oracle attacks. RSA-KEM-2048 is fine, though slower than ECDH.
It does, inasmuch as your sentenced described the NZ jurisdiction as a mockery on the basis that it "sells out" its citizens.

Considering the number of countries that extradite their own citizens, the bar for "selling out" and "mockery" must be quite low.

And most extradited people don't have the luxury of being able to delay their trial by 12 years.

It's a similar situation in Canada, but with the added problem of horribly flawed immigration policies that have flooded the country with a huge number of foreigners each year. While this has been going on for decades now, it has really intensified over the last nine years.

The equivalent of a large (by Canadian standards) city's worth of people is being added each year, but there is nowhere near that much residential construction taking place in total.

There’s a lot more to life than a job. Most jobs can’t be done remotely. How do you convince a barista to move to New Billings? Is there anything to do there after work?
Can't afford 'high' prices? Work harder spend less time on play or leisure pursuits. Realize maybe you should have studied harder in high school or picked a career based on earnings rather than 'what you enjoyed'. While this doesn't cover all situations for sure it does cover many 'whiners' who wish things were just easier for them 'because they should be and that's why'.

Not everyone can 'win' and the people who try harder often win more. And of course don't forget 'luck'. It plays a large part as well.

And guess what? Many of those people who win actually worked harder and weren't born or inherited and are from disadvantaged groups. Nobody wants to think that. Everyone thinks the other person has an edge 'and if I just had that edge things would be fine for me'.

Orthogonality is a beautiful concept.

In physics, different frequencies don’t interfere with each other—they're always independent. However, in digital operations and mathematics, this isn’t automatically true, so we need to carefully select the right frequencies.

OFDM leverages this by ensuring that, in the frequency domain, certain frequencies remain completely separate, meaning changes to one frequency (in amplitude or phase) won't affect the others.

This allows us to capture the maximum information with limited samples.
No, there are better ways and worse ways to use more distant languages for the development of this one: this Language is very far from being something that could be reduced to cheap puns.

«Hybrid words that mash together concepts from multiple languages» - which is very fine - are not necessarily cheap puns (which the superficial similarity of sounds easily engenders).

But anyway, that a coined word suffer from transplant rejection is "not the end of the world" - provided it remains a proper name for a specific item, a brand.
If "we" all got together and reduced permitting costs, "our" homes would be much more valuable because a developer can build a highrise where the house is.
If the companies that are holding land are able to maintain steady profits with minimal competition, then the logical approach is to say we should incentivize them to build on the land, make improvements etc now to ideally decrease the value of the existing land to make it more affordable to people. So could you essentially say "if you own more than 20 properties that are not owner occupied, you have to pay a tax.. but if you sell the house, you get some large chunk of the tax money back".. something that should encourage the big builders to build something and to sell it -- not to build and potentially rent it out -- which is in many cases the most expensive type of house to rent.
Totally valid, I should have written it as, "current employment, current/previous equity."
Some people (like me) are primarily verbal processors:

- I am dictating this message through macOS's voice to text right now

- I am a huge user of Google Assistant

- I prefer to call people versus texting them

- I tend to call restaurants instead of using something like Toast to order takeout (although this is partially because online services will add a surcharge onto the price sometimes, and sometimes I need to ask questions about dietary restrictions, etc.)

Generally, wherever possible, I will use a voice interface versus a text based one to get my point across. It's just faster and more convenient for me. I'm pretty neutral on the consumption side: I read and listen to audiobooks in roughly equal amounts.

All that to say that, just like there are people out there who prefer text UIs, there are also people who prefer voice interfaces.

> Give people the option to work remotely and they can live wherever they want, and that is not in crowded expensive cities most of the time.

COVID dramatically increased the opportunities for remote work. Yet housing prices in major cities went up, not down.

Anecdotally, my friends who moved during COVID remote work all moved to cities they wanted to live in. I knew more people leaving mid-sized towns to move to Seattle, NYC, and the Bay Area than the opposite.
Yes, it’s called property tax, calculated by multiplying a property tax rate times assessed value of the property. Does anywhere not already have that?

To your point, I _very much do not_ want to stick my nose into complex financial tools, hence my desire to use a more simple tool to get the exact value of "give me the thing I generally want, minus the one or two things I don't." Sounds like this is one option for doing so!

I feel like I need to make this point again and again: It's not about increasing the value of properties for most (after all, allowing apartments to be built in your neighborhood would increase the value of the remaining SFHs). It's about keeping the character of the neighborhood the same as it is now (SFH vibes), and all that comes with that ("family friendliness", etc).
Probably any land the federal government would be okay selling to developers is also land that no developers would have the capital or physical ability to improve to the point of being valuable. Most of Nevada is federal land. Almost no one wants to live on it.

> The fix is to enshrine remote work for jobs that can be remote (labor regulation and whatnot), enabling labor mobility to where housing is affordable,

Not really a fix. When people's location becomes free from their jobs, they don't move to remote locations where land is cheap. They move to cities they want to live in, or cities where they have friends and family.

The subset of people who prefer to move to the middle of nowhere and prioritize the cheapest housing above all else is very small (and probably overrepresented online)
Tripled from a hundred year low. Kinda normal to mildly low still.

Prices are up since people did 30yr mortgages at obscenely low rates, and don’t sell/move in order to keep them. That group will eventually rotate out. Ironically, somewhat lower rates will cause a housing price decline.
We won't end up actually adopting other forms of transportation if we keep subsidizing cars for everyone.
I think this is at least partly driven by the locality (city or county) wanting more property taxes from the new homes. In a city near me, there have been five new subdivisions approved in the past few years, all of which have not only HOAs but CDDs, which are basically extra property taxes (ostensibly to fund the building of more amenities in these communities like pools and community centers) that get split between the developer and the city/county until the community is fully built out, and then the city continues to collect them for an additional period that, I believe, is something like 30 years. The city/county required the HOA/CDD setup as a condition for the subdivisions to be developed.

Sure, but to write 1GB you stream 1GB from ram -> CPU in either case. With software RAID you do the calcs (60GB/sec per core) and then write 1.3GB/sec to the storage controller. Just doesn't seem that much of a difference, the CPU overhead is near zero (actual I/O / 64*60GB), and writing an extra 1/3rd for the redundancy data seems in the noise for normal server loads.

Not to mention I'd expect the parity calculations to be MUCH slower on the NVMe controllers.
I don't have a problem with any browser supplying credentials that the user has already used and chosen to save for a specific particular domain/form/input.

The issue is that Chrome is randomly/unpreventably suggesting all sorts of data even when field is for a medical patient's name rather than doctor using it, or when it's a generic chat-message field, and it does all that when the user has never used the form or even visited the domain before.

Informing all customers that it's out of our hands and can only be stopped by disabling their personal Chrome settings is... Not practical.
That's pretty far from the full story. It's missing giant swaths.

To give a few examples of this:

* For gear changes, the choice seems to be between touch screen buttons and manual buttons located on the ceiling, in an unit that appears to be attached literally by duct tape.

> The 48V architecture is going to lead to a much more reliable and efficient wiring loom

Whatever it may be "going to lead" to, right now, the electrical system in Cybertrucks is massively LESS reliable than the competition, with countless anecdotes of red screens popping up practically before the truck is off the dealer lot.

> that cost goes back to the customer in the form of savings or that money can be spent elsewhere such as a better interior.

Or, as seems to be the case with Tesla, it stays with the manufacturer, as Cybertrucks are both massively more expensive than initially announced, and equipped with a rather spartan, not to say shabby, interior.

> Tesla's crime is that sometimes they try too hard.

I would argue that they oversell the abilities of their system (they used to claim that “The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself.”), to entice users into using it outside the conditions at which it is reliable. And they assume absolutely no liability for use under any conditions.

Well think about it this way:

Currently (in the US) no alternative stores for iOS exists.

No regulation exists to create multiple stores. In fact, even in the EU, the regulation only states that you have to do so after a certain number of users.

Being a monopoly is completely legal as long as you don’t actively prevent competition.

Apple maintaining the status quo is not anti competitive. Sure, no competition can exist but as long as Apple isn’t actively squashing competition, it is fine.

On the contrary, Apple would have to make effort to allow for competition. And without EU like regulations, there is no legal framework to compel a company to enable competitors.

Apple has been very careful to walk that fine line.

POW doesn’t have to be useless work. It can be useful work, so that mining actually creates a value tied to off chain economic systems. Then you have something that actually has value, and you can then use POS to give validators both a correct incentive alignment and a way to get paid for their work. Hybrid value backed POW for token creation with POS for validation creates a really good system for digital assets.

Sadly, extant systems for this are few because generating real value is actually challenging.

Wildly inaccurate. No one owns crown land, if you buy land, that's "privately owned" If you don't pay property tax, eg you are in arrears, your land is seized and sold to pay your debt. Again, that has nothing to do with crown land.

I'm guessing the Required Telemetry thing is gonna cause a technical/security problem too.
