Depends on your state. In my state we can take driving actions that violate the law as long as we can prove it was safe to do at the time. Your state may not be so lenient.
100% agree. This guy is next level.
I have one. I use it as a replacement for my phone when I am in bed, just for checking email, reading the news, Anki flashcards etc. I also take it out on long bike rides so I can do those same things while sitting in the sun on the beach or something. (Phone screen is pretty much useless in direct sun by comparison.) It's not a big deal to connect to your phone's wifi hotspot briefly to sync. Main point is that you have the phone experience without the eye strain, and if it saves battery on your phone at the same time, bonus. Yeah, you're carrying more stuff, but if you're really going somewhere where carrying two devices is going to be too much weight, then you probably would prefer a regular phone screen over eink anyway.
Yes. Brazilians were censored and moved to bluesky. Elon musk has problems with the law! Absolutely no overlap whatsoever. Also very interesting in its own way.
Google still being dominant in 2-3 years is far more plausible than not.

This makes it easy to send thugs to their house and 'encourage' them to comply with any political demand. Jurisdictional arbitrage, particularly sites hosted in America following the first amendment is the only thing keeping anti authoritarian speech alive in authoritarian regimes.

Parsing command line arguments, reading/manipulating binary data, memset_s are of course all available in the C standard library. I’m not familiar with rust, but if it’s true that dependencies are required for those types of basic operations... yikes, to say the least. If you include boost (which, admittedly, is a heavy dependency, but still a single one), everything mentioned is possible.
To be honest, Lightning was always dead in the cradle because of it's licensing fee. Apple tried to take the high road for so long, but vendors actively avoided Lightning unless they could buy bootleg, unlicensed connectors. Apple basically took a serial standard hostage, and then insisted that it was okay because they did it before USB-C was finalized. There's no way Apple didn't know from the offset that they were diverging from the standard and creating e-waste, they helped design USB-C. The creation of Lightning was an exploitation of 30-pin's depreciation.
> I think we’ve both been missing each others point.

This is so fucking gross. Nobody has been "missing" you. If you are truly sorry and willing to change, then the appropriate response is to own up to and apologize for intentionally misreading the person who you have wronged, not try to pass off blame to them.
Worked in NYS auto insurance. The government provided us an APi which we could use to pull driver records. While we could pull anyone that we want via the api, we get audited and must show reason for the pulls (such as a newly insured driver or renewal etc).

I assume other states are similar
The mix package manger for Elixir has a release option which compiles and bundles everything to a single binary. It appears possible to use Gleam libraries/code with mix, which should allow one to compile it all down to a single binary as well (though I haven't attempted this myself).
If I save a little bit of work now, my life is better. In the unlikely event that the system is still used in 76 years, it will not be my problem.

I'm generally against rolling problems to future generations, but taking risks with a minuscule risk of going somewhat badly that may not even be within my children's lifetimes is not a core concern.

Also partly the success of large companies is often down to IP, most commonly patents.

The timeline of expiry of these patents and the cutting of what appears to be non directly profitable activity of science/r+d can run 30+ years.

The bigger the pipeline, the longer the demise, potentially.

Jack Welch got rid of the 1% who achieved expected results in unexpected ways, but these people were the innovators that gave the company its life blood.

Immelt inherited a bad deal with an engineering company that had turned to making financial transactions to generate pseudo wealth, rather than innovative ideas. Maybe could have done more, or differently, but Jack Welch well and truly started the spiral with a short sightedness that prevented him from seeing the horizon, distant though it was.

In the west especially, people of purported financial management skills rarely are able to see past the next annual report, partly because that is how they are trained and partly because shareholders have too much power.

As recently as Dave Packards day the employee was catered to before the shareholder - I don't believe HP would have ever contemplated a dividend in the same year as lay-offs, but now the unsecured creditors, the shareholders dominate managements concerns.

The system is as much to blame as the individuals and has created perverse incentives that are a slippery slope to climb back up from.
You can get a similar e-ink experience with the Dasung E-ink Phone Monitor. The advantage is that it just mirrors your phone display and acts as a touch screen. You can keep using your existing apps without having to transfer data to a new device, and when you upgrade your phone you're also upgrading your e-reader. Just make sure to get the wired or wireless option suitable for your phone type.

If we're looking at pas examples, the reverse happens a lot more: rules and environments are made stricter with stronger passive enforcement to get rid of the infractions.

Setting automated speed traps where drivers don't respect the limit, physically forcing lower speeds where traps didn't work or closing whole streets to regular cars to get rid of the problem altogether.

The main issue isn't just the rules, and if the infrastructure has to be adapted as well, it's often cheaper to get rid of traffic than to rethink a system that work better in adversarial situations.

With increasing global temperatures, increasing numbers of people are vulnerable to heat related illness.

In my case, whenever it's above 36C I have a significantly higher chance of sudden death (Brugada Syndrome), so I hide from heatwaves in air-con. Since we've had 3 days above 30C this week, and winter is officially over today, I think it's a good air-con summer ahead.

The actual act of a coup is unconstitutional in probably every country. But talking about a coup is not unconstitutional in many countries. For example in the US, seditious speech is protected.

Anyways, Alexandre de Moraes - the Supreme Court justice in this situation - is acting unconstitutionally in multiple ways. Issuing orders to censor, ban, or arrest in secret is depriving the victims of due process and the public of accountability. He also said himself that he is not getting his powers from law but from what the other court he sits on gave him as a new power, which is just a made up legal invention on his part. How can a court make up legal powers, when that is meant to come from the constitution and legislation?

> And Musk didn't fight as hard in India or Turkey for accounts of people that did far less.

You are one among many attempting the whataboutism of bringing up Turkey and India, even though it has no bearing on what is happening in Brazil. I don’t agree with censorship in any of these cases. However, Twitter/X has publicly stated that their policy is to comply with local laws in each country. The difference is in the legality of orders per that country’s own laws. In Brazil, there is a right to freedom of expression without censorship, per article 5 of the constitution. Also another difference is that the censorship orders here were done in secret - like with gag orders that make it invisible to the public - and this is both highly unethical but also makes this judge unaccountable and difficult to challenge.

Even humans are bad at explaining their decisions sometimes, especially if they did not reach there by reason.

Unfortunately western countries are no longer willing to set a good example to encourage developing countries to follow.
I presume you are talking about WK 10235/2022 ADD 10[0], as I found many blogs and journals[1] talking about Lithuania's position there and how it is anti-E2EE, pro-Chat Control. Some things should be clarified:

Firstly, it is a working document that someone obtained through a FOI request. So it is important to understand that this was not meant for the public, and therefore the opinion Lithuanian representatives provided there was not scrutinized as such prior to release. This is not a comprehensive position of Lithuania's government or any of its branches.

Secondly, the document follows positions expressed in and around a police (LEWP) meeting. It is difficult to imagine that law enforcement would support E2EE or stand against Chat Control in principle, because it makes their daily work more difficult. This context should be kept in mind and is also pointed out by the Stanford Center for Internet and Society article I linked.

Thirdly, the opinion of a limited group of Lithuania's law enforcement workers does not impact Lithuania's constitution, nor culture. I also believe that it is not an opinion shared by many Lithuanians who have some distrust of authority following years of state surveillance, persecution, and the trauma this entailed. So it is important to understand that the culture, the constitution, and the opinion of law enforcement workers contributed to this working document are three distinct things.

Finally, this "let's sacrifice anything and everything to protect the children" narrative unfortunately exists in Lithuania as well. It's a polarizing political issue where people have very strong opinions on each side. It seems likely to me, as I read the document, that there was a strong bias towards one of the sides in the working group.

Overall, this consultation is not the overall opinion of Lithuanian people nor their government; law enforcement working groups will generally be biased towards access to encrypted information rather than privacy; and that no country can escape today's polarizing political debates, so individual people will sometimes have strong opinions without having ever thought them through.

This is not to say that Lithuanian representatives could not have acted more responsibly. They could have. Frankly, as the Stanford article illustrates, Lithuanian reps' opinion is naive to the point of incompetence. Many other countries did better. That is evident. But does this say Lithuania is against privacy? No. It is still one of the most privacy-respecting countries I have ever been to and done business in.

Your point is interesting, but I think the weird phrasing is confusing people. Ars is saying (correct me if I’m wrong):

Transforming plastic into fuel is more efficient than obtaining new fossil fuel. It actually reduces emissions compared to using net new fossil fuels.

Still, transforming plastic into fuel is not an emissions reduction compared to renewable energy sources.
For anyone swayed by the level of citations, I'd advise you to spend the time to actually, legitimately, research into them for yourself.

In my experience once you investigate down into them they're always unconvincing. They either have an abysmal sample size, or are opinion pieces with no data behind them, or are multiple presses releases which all link to the same one single horrible study as their proof, or they have non-sensible methodology performed by the most biased group imaginable, etc.
Thanks, that is really cool, especially when ramping up on a code base. The labeling is mostly pretty good (though I'd not call some stuff "backend" but who can blame it for not knowing). I still think it might be too expensive as is but if I were using this to generate mermaids for everyone in my company a one time fee of 20 might be justified (you often dont need this continuously)
Actually, in the case of models, training data is functionally ~= code, as the final item cannot be reproduced without it. And, as the open source definition states in its criteria 2: "Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed."[0].

Only on some of their interfaces, but even then that seems like a rather unreliable method to perform RLHF. I’ve never clicked a thumbs up/down on a ChatGTP output, but I don’t imagine people are validating the output very thoroughly before providing that feedback…
This is because LLMs do not reason. They pattern-fit. The fact that that solves a lot of things humans often use reason to solve most likely speaks to the training data or unrecognized patterns in standardized tests, not to LLMs reasoning capability, which does not exist.

To excuse their assumption of reasoning capabilities, the author in the FAQ snarkily points to “research” indicating evidence of reasoning—all of which was written by OpenAI and Microsoft employees who would not be allowed to publish anything to the contrary.

It’s a shame people continue to buy into the hype cycle on new tech. Here’s a hint: if the creators of VC-backed tech make extraordinary claims about it, you should assume it’s heavily exaggerated if not an outright lie.

This is a valid answer for 90% of people's use.

It still kinda makes me sad that the discussion always stops there. It will still break some of whole classes of programs, it's not magic and can either be finicky or just too limited.

From the top of my head USB and peripheral access in general is a PITA every time a translation layer is added. Raw device access in emulation never has worked "pretty well".

For Mac it wasn't that much of an issue because anyone with deeper hardware needs was probably not there in the first place. But on Windows I'd predict it will be a significant transition pain. A bigger share of people will stick on x86 basically forever to cover their long taily needs.
“A.I.” is a stochastic parrot. You prompt it with input and it outputs a complex copy and paste based on real human made art. You’re not making anything and the software isn’t producing art. What some hypothetical people might have briefly thought about Photoshop has nothing to do with what LLMs are. It’s a false comparison. A brush, on the other hand, is analogous to a digital brush.

It's not about personally using the money or marginal utility. By investing the money in the stock market, you are increasing the pool of money that is going into funding businesses (directly and indirectly).

Think of it this way:

Angel investors and venture capitalists are directly funding the creation of new productive businesses with the expectation of a future return / reward. This future reward is only possible with secondary markets such as the public stock exchange. Additionally, employees at these companies are typically rewarded with shares to align incentives. These stock based grants motivate them to work harder and produce more and this is only possible because they can then go and sell their shares on the public market.

An example of hoarding would be like someone buying a bunch of property to park their wealth with low risk but not renting out any of the homes or apartments they purchased because it's too much effort.
