Hmm, I wonder how effective that would be. My small home's ventilation system is currently taking in about 100m³ of fresh air per hour. That's about 1600L/minute. Let's assume the intake duct is about 20cm in diameter, and assume we can place a bulb to illuminate a 50cm stretch of pipe. That's a volume of about 16 liters. So the air would be in visible range of the bulb for about half a second. Would that be enough for a UV bulb to do anything?

This was back of napkin maths, could be way off.

Edit: sanitizing incoming air is probably pretty useless, as the outdoor concentration of pathogens is likely very low to begin with.
As I get older and a little lazier, sometimes I think I might want to find a way to get a completely pointless job that gives me a paycheck where all I have to do is write documents that nobody ever reads.

As a french speaking Swiss I'm pretty biased, but I'd say it comes down to salary thriftiness to the detriment of innovation, practicality to the detriment of flexibility, and perfection to the detriment of velocity.

If you happen to want your supplier to be slow, extremely reliable, and you don't mind paying for the high profit margin they expect to be able to extract, you'll be a perfect customer of a DACH-mentality company. There are hundreds of niche categories where they dominate the market, including machine tools, forging, factory automation, etc.

But don't write off DACH: there are plenty of companies in DACH that run circles around their competitors by blending typically DACH traits with agility.

Obvious disclaimer first: I do not condone imagery of child abuse, I believe this guy has some kind of psychological problem and needs professional help, AI-generated deepfakes can actually cause real harm and proper regulation is needed.

With that out of the way:

> the generative AI wrinkle in this particular arrest shows how technology is generating new avenues for crime and child abuse.

Is it really child abuse if no children were involved? Does that mean that AI-generated imagery of some protected group being harmed causes actual harm to that protected group? Not saying it doesn't, but it may be worth thinking about.

> The content that we’ve seen, we believe is actually being generated using open source software, which has been downloaded and run locally on people’s computers and then modified, [...] that is a much harder problem to fix.

Sarcastic: people downloading and modifying open source software is a major problem indeed, hopefully a solution can be found.
As soon as you require a government-isseud ID to vote, you then get into the questions of which IDs qualify and how hard or expensive are they to get it.

The art of programming and why I won't use LLM
This is another similar tool:

It's really eye-opening when you load 10 posts and it filters out 9 of them.

But besides that, the thing that's really pushing me away from FB is the pure hate, agression and stupidity on display in the comments section of local groups. It hurts to see the levels people descend to when they can comment without any repercussions.
"Person of color" is one of my favorite phrases to hate on these days.

On the surface, it sounds like a respectful way to refer to people that belong to a racial minority.

But if you do even a second of thinking, you realize that "person of color" is a long way of saying "colored", a word that had serious negative connotations a century ago during the era of segregation in the USA. And if you peel it back even further, "colored" just means "non-white".

I suspect that people who say or write "person of color" are giving themselves a pat on the back for using the right euphemism of the year to refer to a (supposedly) marginalized group. But I think the truth is more sinister. They just found a way to say "non-white" without saying those exact words.

Speaking personally, I am classified as a person of color. I refuse to refer to myself using that term because it is ridiculous. If you feel tempted to call me that, just use "non-white" instead - it is more honest and transparent. You're putting whites in one category and everyone else in the "other" category. If you think that calling me "non-white" sounds wrong, then you should think that calling me "person of color" sounds equally wrong.

If you want to be racist, be openly racist. Don't hide behind fuzzy terms like "person of color". If you meant to convey "non-white", say what you mean.

Math/physics/engineering/programming rely on similar skills but need somewhat different attitudes. I know people who are great at advanced math (especially earlier generations) but don't think about it computationally at all, and their code is very messy. On the other hand I know great programmers who just don't like to think in terms of proofs and dislike the ambiguous and vague nature of math notation (yes, math is much more vague and handwavy in notation compared to its reputation, especially compared to programming). And there are people who love programming as a kind of puzzle and like prodding it for its own sake, pursuing elegance and will get nerdsniped for weeks if you teach them about quines, while others just love building things and whatever gets them there doesn't matter too much.

You can, but it does not leave any residual ability for the water to neutralize pathogens once you're done treating the water.

If you dip a Nalgene bottle to fill it, then purify the contents, you would typically then bleed the threads by holding the bottle upside down and loosening the cap.

With chemical treatment, the iodine in the water works to neutralize any pathogens that aren't flushed out of the threads. If you've used UV, you're kind of hoping that the flushing action has physically washed out anything lingering in the threads.

Anecdotally, people using UV get more cases of waterborne illness, but I don't know if anyone has rigorously studied this. Hikers are naturally resistant to controlled experiments.

If you don't like the flavor of iodine tablets, I recommend AquaMira instead.

Europeans are mostly comfortable giving money to American companies, and there is not as much of a culture difference as with Asia, so there is no need for separate offerings specially for Europe. All big tech companies have several subsidiaries that seem to be doing quite well. It’s true that there are not as many European startups than American ones, but the market is there.

> some take their own liberties with interpreting the original text as it was written

The "original text" in many cases is simply not known; there are multiple "sources" to translate from, so part of the job of those who are putting together a new edition is to discern between the variant texts and work out which one should be treated as canonical. This can obviously have a major impact on the result, and it's all before any translation ever occurs.

The results of the categories look similar to what happens when prompting ChatGPT with "describe a list of {genres/moods/etc.} for <content>". Also the links are all for query pages on amazon/spotify/etc, which says LLM to me (rather than a database). This dynamic schema generation -> UI supported query builder seems like a really interesting direction. I'd love to see it for the web more generally and I bet Exa.ai+LLM of choice would be a pretty good place to start. If it's an LLM I'm curious about hallucination rates and excited for future web-level RAG in only returning real objects.

Also you can supply content which doesn't exist and it will automatically infer genre and such (another strong indication of LLM). I.e. you can imagine the aesthetics of the kind of content you might want by title and then use the UI to explore real recs related to that.

When a disease is dangerous depends a lot on the specific disease. Measles for an adult is mostly a non-issue. Measles for a child carries a high risk of deafness and blindness. Chickenpox for an infant can be deadly, for a child is normal, and for an adult man can cause sterility.

There's no blanket "best time" to get sick with an infectious disease. And some diseases, like chickenpox, later surface as painful shingles (which in the worst case can result in permanent nerve damage).

The best thing to do is vaccination. It's safe for the vast majority of the population and sidesteps complications completely. Get your flu shot.

I don't see a problem that could be solved within the current constraints. If we could convince taxpayers and private funders to double or triple the funding for academic research, many things could be done better. But today we have too many people trying to do a career in research and too little funding for them. Most issues in the academia arise from that.
Huh? The traditional mafia is almost non-existent in the US today. RICO and its application has been highly successful at taking down the mafia.

You could certainly argue that RICO was too powerful and is often misapplied, but I've never before seen anyone argue that it has been ineffective.
The reason you consider all that misinformation is because it's politically sensitive information and every single other social media company and the vast majority of western-aligned media censor it, so the only place you come across such information is in the uncensored Telegram platform, and assume it must be false because all the other media you consume tells you so.
Feels slightly surprising, at least from the comfort of my 21st century armchair, that they went to all that effort for 800 KB per disk. The Atari ST (with an off the shelf 1772 FDC) had no problem with 800 KB - 2 sides, 80 tracks, 10 sectors per track, 512 bytes per sector - and that seemed perfectly reliable.

The Amiga did its own thing, same as the Mac, but at least it got some extra storage. 880 KB per disk!

(880 KB was also an option on the ST, but only for disks written a track at a time, which was impossible to guarantee if using the OS. With 11 sectors per track, writing individual sectors wasn't reliable as the gaps between them are so small. The OS didn't support irregular disk geometry so you couldn't have more sectors on the outer tracks.)
Because these countries are hypocrites. Because politics, because these guys are from Russia, China. You can so obviously see there's discrimination against companies from those countries. Can you imagine France do this if it's a US company?

> Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do?

I think this is simplified. Certainly yes, if "all" Telegram was doing was operating a neutral/unmoderated anonymized chat service, then it's hard to see criminal culpability for the reasons you list.

But as people are pointing out, that doesn't seem to be technically correct. Telegram isn't completely anonymous, does have access to important customer data, and is widely suspected of complying with third party requests for that data for law enforcement and regulatory reasons.

So... IF they are doing that, and they're doing it in a non-neutral/non-anonymized way, then they're very plausibly subject to prosectution. Say, if you get a report of terrorist activity and provide data on the terrorists, then a month later get notified that your service is being used to distribute CSAM, and you refuse to cooperate, then it's not that far a reach to label you an accessory to the crime.
I really don't think "the average american" has a good awareness of events, let alone government regulations, outside the country's borders.

Presumably Apple has some internal calculation of how much $$$$ they would lose by globally standardizing the "European iPhone." But we're unlikely to see that number.

This strategy amounts to building a RAG for your company. I have a friend who is CTO at a startup and he is doing exactly this. He has uploaded every document he can to Anthropic/Claude, using their service which allows easy construction of RAGs. He has uploaded thousands of documents. And now he can ask it questions like, "Which will increase profits more, hiring another engineer, or hiring another sales person?"

I think we will see more of this. There are some big privacy concerns, but "an internal RAG for every business" will probably find some customers.

The operator isn't under the other company, so if they say "we need this data" they can just say no.

Now potentially they could try to trick the operator, but I'm not sure a company could be compelled to do so under US law. While there doesn't appear to be any relevant cases, this would fall under compelled speech (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compelled_speech) and it seems like it would fall on the impermissible side to me.
I installed a Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation system in my home. It has heat and moisture recuperation capabilities. It's currently refreshing the air at around 100m³/hour. It has an F7 (aka "ISO Fine" or "MERV 13") filter. Since installing it, my asthma has improved a fair bit, and I'm sneezing a lot less. Added benefit, virtually no mosquitoes have been able to enter my home. I'm still considering getting an extra filter addon to filter out more fine soot from car exhaust etc, but even without that option I've been very happy with the results.

Edit: hit reply too soon. Wanted to add: are air purifiers as effective as increased ventilation? Should we combine the two?
contact them how? they don't read email (if they even have an address), they are not using any other messenger. and my introvert nature makes phonecalls very uncomfortable. at best i could send SMS, but that is not suitable (and across continents expensive) for real conversations. also none of the alternatives allow me to keep up with what's happening with them because they only post it on facebook. and there is at least one project that is important to me that i can't participate in without a facebook account because it is coordinated only there.

in general, reaching someone through other ways than their preferred channel only works if both sides are willing to do so. very often, especially with non-technical people that is simply not the case.

you can replace facebook with any other tool that is used for messaging, and you will find cases where not being able to access that tool would be a problem.

most of my contacts are only reachable through one specific messaging tool.

the reality is that we can no longer allow any of these companies to control who does and who doesn't get access. getting access must be a right that mustn't be denied to you if you choose to use it. or, better, all major messaging systems should be made interoperable so that you can stay in touch without needing an account there.

The problem is, we can correct for wattage and it's still a blowout.

Compare the M2 Ultra's 5nm GPU performance-per-watt to a product like Nvidia's RTX A5000 laptop GPU on Samsung 8nm. The M2 Ultra is rated to pull over 290w at load, compared to the A5000's maximum TDP of 165w. Apple's desktop-grade iGPUs are less power-efficient than Nvidia's last-generation laptop GPUs, even when they have a definitive node advantage and higher TDPs.

You don't have to just look at the server chips. Compare like-for-like and you'll quickly find that Apple's GPU designs are pretty lacking across the board. The M3 Max barely swaps spit with Nvidia's 2000-series in performance-per-watt. When you pull out the 4000-series hardware and compare the efficiency of those cards, it's just plainly unfair. The $300 RTX 4060 outperforms Apple's $3000 desktop GPUs in performance and efficiency.
