Can you visit a Pro North Korea/ISIS/Iran website? You are kind of paying/circumventing sanctions with potential ad revenue.
It's worth pointing out that similar stuff (although not quite as egregious) is happening in Belarus, Brazil, and even the UK.
If he was from the balkans his reason was definitely false and he just didnt wanna work at your place. We dont have that here, especially not for leaders not from our countries
I'll second the notion - great break-down of Gnome. I knew it was bad, but not how bad. A burger menu and a 3-dots menu in one window. Ugh. Also, the menu-bar combined with the toolbar. WTF?

It's reminded me of the horror that is the Apple Music app (for macos).
That fixes it for certain types of people, but certainly not for most people in in the north east during winter.
They’ve already said they’ll make the service free for customers in Brazil if necessary.
I'm sure it was profitable in keeping him busy during the pandemic. Not everything has to derive monetary value, you can do something for experience, fun, kick the tyres, open-source and/or philanthropic avenues.

Besides it's a low margin, heavily capitalized and heavily crowded market you'd be entering and not worth the negative-monetary investment in the short and medium term (unless you wrote AI in the title and we're going to the mooooooon babyh)

There’s a lot of data that we should have programmatic access to that we don’t.

The fact that I can’t get my own receipt data from online retailers is unacceptable. I built a CLI Puppeteer scraper to scrape sites like Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Kroger for precisely this reason.

Any website that has my data and doesn’t give me access to it is a great target for scraping.
The issue is that this isn't how it plays out in practice for most people. It's extremely easy to accidentally get too blasted, and then the next time you're already coming from a place of higher tolerance, and before long, even those high potency strains aren't effective.

To be clear, the main advantages over GitHub Copilot are ability to add other files as context and being able to have multiple chats going, right?
Well perhaps you could try reading the paper and drawing from the author’s words about their intentions? It’s very clear.

1) a significant problem for humans is the placenta doesn’t grow enough which makes the babies not get enough nutrients

2) this specific genus of gut bacteria is supposed to become common in pregnant women And mice

3) they took pregnant mice that were specifically lacking this bacteria and tested if reintroducing it would have positive effects, and it did.

4) a couple direct quotes
> Additionally, our approach could potentially align with supplementation studies in pregnant women, as we started the experiments after pregnancy was confirmed.

> Our results have potential translational implications, as around 14% of pregnant women use probiotics during pregnancy in European countries like the Netherlands [
62
]. However, the utilization of probiotics in clinical and nutritional contexts, particularly during pregnancy, remains a topic of continual debate. Thus, to comprehensively understand their influence on the developing offspring, it is essential to define the mechanisms supporting their beneficial effects.

Biomed academia is a shitshow but your effort here seems particularly bad faith and lame
Well, commutes into a central city is a bit of different beast, and many metros in the US have trains that service the suburbs.

Driving in and around the suburbs is what I was talking about.
Yet there is bipartisan action to ban TikTok in the US. We have effectively banned the import of Chinese electric vehicles. Does that make us authoritarian?
At one level, this is word-games. I wouldn't personally construct a sentence with "educability" in it very often, but I have read them, and the sense of the word is not a million miles from many of the others cropping up in this thread which go to the capacity to learn, distinct from the amount of knowledge acquired.

Personally, I think there's a set of outcomes here. To acquire knowledge usefully demands both retention and some ability to apply abstraction/synthesis to the knowledge acquired. Simply being a repositary of knowledge is not in itself usually useful, unless you want to win a competition for the most digits of pi, or ability to recite the Koran from memory, but latent within that ability are other skills which we often decry as "not intelligent" or "simply parroting facts" -the amount of facts you can recall aren't useful in the same way that synthesis over those facts is.

Another approach is to use a regexp scraper. These are very "loose" and tolerant of changes. For example, RNSAFFN.com uses regular expressions to scrape the Commitments of Traders report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission every week.
GPT-4o mini is 33x cheaper than GPT-4o, or 66x cheaper in batch mode. But the article says:

> I also tried GPT-4o mini but yielded significantly worse results so I just continued my experiments with GPT-4o.

Would be interesting to compare with the other inexpensive top tier models, Claude 3 Haiku and Gemini 1.5 Flash.
Does "Felony wiretapping" mean nothing?
Unfortunately his concerns are all too reasonable. Here's a recent case where Putin's people had a dual Russian-American citizen arrested while visiting her family, and then slapped with a 12-year jail term for the crime of donating $51 to a humanitarian charity (from within the US):

While small, the chance of getting caught up in these shenanigans is far higher than that of buying a winning lottery ticket. And the potential penalties much worse than could be alleviated by most any prize won in the lottery. (If they were from one of Russia's allies, such as Serbia or Hungary, they probably wouldn't have much to worry about. But if they're from a NATO country, then definitely so).
The crowd I ran with in college were the types to order a home-based T-1 service, and it was absurd how unobtainable ISDN was.

We'd receive Sun workstations on our desk (I worked for an ISP) and we'd sort of chuckle at the built-in ISDN interface while we connected the 10BASE2.

We never sold ISDN links; our modems were state-of-the-art 14.4K or you could go Frame Relay, leased line, SMDS.

We did maintain one leased digital 14.4K line, due to some unique circumstance, and I still wish I could forget.

Also, as an anecdote, my mom works as a Low/Med Track Special Ed Teacher, and most students in the Low/Med track tend to be from broken homes not conducive to learning, leading to a cycle of poverty.

Poverty is directly correlated to lack of parental intervention, due to time and monetary constraints, which leads to a vicious cycle.

Does disabling Siri disable this behaviour though? What if you're not close enough to the device at the time to see the indicator? That's the bit the worries me in terms of mic use.

On Android I can toggle the camera and mic OS wide, and per app. When I'm not taking pictures or a call I turn them both off OS wide using the quick toggle buttons. On iOS I can only find options to disable them per app which doesn't give me as much confidence.
I'm not defending Iran over this, I fully expect his imprisonment to be for a reason I would consider bullshit, but this article doesn't present much evidence that the two events in the title have any connection. He tweeted a dot, at some point after was arrested.

Technically the article never says the dot is related to the arrest, but it's certainly implied.

I'm okay with smart dongle-y things that don't fit the criteria so long as they could run on a set of passive speakers. Because if they turn to shit I just pitch them.
My experience has been the opposite: regex scrapers are usually incredibly brittle, and also harder to debug when something DOES change.

My preferred approach for scraping these days is Playwright Python and CSS selectors to select things from the DOM. Still prone to breakage, but reasonably pleasant to debug using browser DevTools.
I would have probably just taken apart the mechanics and replaced it with an RC servo.
And especially if it's the chit-chat that needs to be done before the more interesting bits can be discussed.

What data? Are you proposing that there is a reliable way to adjudicate ongoing misdiagnoses for rare or even common illnesses?

It seems like the only ones likely to have any investigation are those that end up being lethal in the short term.
Fair, but tiny earbuds are not exactly massive contributor to ewaste (or total waste).
GPT-4o (and the other top-tier models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.4 Pro) is massively more capable than models you can run on your own machine using Ollama - unless you can run something truly monstrous like Llama 3.1 405b, but that's requires 100GBs of GPU RAM which is very expensive.

The only one of those that's illegal just to visit in the US as far as I know is the child porn one, and even that only if you receive or attempt to receive actual child porn, as opposed to some other random content that might be on the site.

Some of the things you list are actual criminal acts, not Web sites. Yes, if you stalk your ex, that's criminal, but simply visiting some Web site is not in itself illegal.

If there is some US law that might purport to forbid just visiting a Web site, I've never heard of any attempt to enforce it.

What the hell is a "president threatening site"? Threats to public officials as a service?
Sorry.. you're drawing a distinction between modelling the world as cellular automota, turing machines, and Von Neumann architectures? Some cellular automota (not all I read) are turing complete. Von Neumann architectures are definitionally turing complete.

Some instructions would be helpful
What do you think of a domineering bully who demeans, berates, and manipulates a vulnerable partner? It's not hard to find examples of relationships where over years a person preys on someone else's insecurities and tells them every day that they are worthless, that no-one else will take them, and responds with anger to every minor irritation, often unpredictably. Or they may gaslight them and leave someone with a less sure sense of reality, doubting and undermining themselves.

To me, these kinds of injuries are worse than many kinds of physical violence. People who have been extracted from, and recover from, situations like this (as much as anyone can) often say they would have preferred to be beaten. And they don't mean this lightly.

This is all "just" speech; the perpetuators and victims often agree that they "never laid a finger on them". But it hardly about beginning or preventing new ideas. In some countries, this kind of speech and pattern of abuse is criminal. But it's not universally so. Should it be? The way these countries frame it is that rights - like freedom of speech - are not absolutely, but must be balanced with the harm they may cause, and to assess things almost case by case with balancing tests. This seems to me a very workable system of law with good outcomes.
There is an argument, it's just a little vague and not the kind of thing which can be proved.
Microwaves can do this. They can cause enough damage to cause effects to the brain without massive damage to skin. Some people did have vision problems btw.

But you are just distracting from the topic at hand. The system talked about above is 95 gigaherz and doesn't even penetrate the skin.
Yes! I actually just had someone else ask about Instagram. Try it out :)

I got these results just now: https://fetchfoxai.com/s/UOqL5HtuNe

On live TV at the Oscars? That's absolute psychopath behavior.
Don't straw man. The point is that the 95 gigaherz waves used in the system mentioned above don't even penetrate the skin.
No! Stripe docs totally suck today. They're a labyrinth of things that do not impact my business that Stripe decided need to occupy my limited time.

I just want to take payments for dead-simple SaaS. I don't care about the 20,000 use cases for different billing product lifecycles, itemizations, etc.

"Launching a startup? Do this: [x]" would be incredible.

It's wild that Stripe doesn't have the 99% case covered.

The real reason for this is probably because Stripe's main customer isn't the scrappy upstart anymore, but rather the giants up-market. We're table scraps now.
This was a great read. I think the "define finished" at the beginning to be useful advice for me.

While the app may be a disaster claiming alarms are nothing more than a bash script on a distributed IOT system seems odd.

Networked queues with multiple clients is not as simple as the author implies either.

A BIN attack is feasible if the entry point lets you endlessly try card info. There's not that many, and issuers will give leeway on the card details (some won't care if the card holder's name is botched or completely wrong for instance)

That's also why a PSP will ban the seller if they let that happen on their payment page.

"I can't believe they are thefts out there paying other thefts for theft-services..."

Completely seriously, you and everyone else reading this need to not just "know" this, but believe it and feel it.

Too often I feel like programmers are like fat 50-year-olds talking smack on the locker room about how doomed the other team is because they know the importance of MD5-hashing passwords in the database, and they have no idea they're going out on to the field against an NFL team.

Of course, where this metaphor breaks down is that these metaphorical lardasses will not be able to fail to notice them getting their asses handed to them, whereas in the security space, their real-world analogs may not even notice they were hacked.

It's brutal out there. Even the open source tooling is far more sophisticated that most people reading this realize, and that constitutes the baseline, not the top end. There's an underground economy, and it is sponsored by many entities with deep pockets, including large-scale criminal enterprises, some of which can rival "real" companies in scale, and government-backed operations of all sorts.

You're not up against a stray hacker bumbling into your system. If you've got assets worth anything, you're up against professional organizations. If you are responsible for anything that matters, take the threats seriously.
I hope some of the opensource inference servers start supporting that endpoint soon. I know vLLM has added some "offline batch mode" support with the same format, they just haven't gotten around to implementing it on the OpenAI endpoint yet.
Thank you- will fix. Feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to give it a try

Speaking as a Brit, it amazes me that Gov.uk somehow managed to avoid getting purged under various administrations from 2010-24. No doubt slowing things down and flying under the radar helped, otherwise it would have probably gotten the chop via some asinine HM Treasury spending review.

The Government Digital Service (GDS) was recently moved from the Cabinet Office (pretty close to the centre of power) to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It will be interesting to see if the GDS and Gov.uk can retain the same clout and effectiveness after the move.
Aren't there plenty of examples of the kind of speech you talk about in your second paragraph already on Twitter? There are plenty of hot takes to pick from, with some being censored more or less based on the current owner.

I'd also be interested to have some examples of the current set of ideas that you believe we are stuck with. It's an interesting phrase, and it begs to be enumerated.
Well, I read the intro, results, and methods prior to making my comment. Have you read the limitations?

1. & 2. Great. I agree. How does this research address those needs?

3. No, they didn’t. They took germ free mice without a gut microbiome and added probiotics with vs. without colonies of the supplemental bacteria. In my opinion, this bludgeons away translational value. They did no compositional analysis either via RNA seq, likely due to a lack of funding.

4. The authors can say lots about what their study could mean. Authors say lots of things all of the time. I, and anecdotally many others, put very little into author over-interpretation of data. The data can speak for themselves.

Frankly I’m not sure how my critique of this research is bad faith. Lame? Maybe, I’m not to judge that.

But I appreciate the discussion.
> The term [Aqua Vitae (“water of life”)] was used by the 14th-century alchemist John of Rupescissa, who believed the then newly discovered substance of ethanol to be an imperishable and life-giving "fifth essence" or quintessence, and who extensively studied its medical properties.[3]

You’re not going to find a well defined germ theory breakdown of the potability of water because it did not exist. It’s not like they could identify clean water vs dirty water. It’s not like drinking dirty water meant you were going to die either. Generally speaking, people understood that drinking more alcoholic drinks was likely to have health benefits among other things, hence the term “water of life”. Drinking alcohol was seen as a move that would improve your health, including as literal medicine. It was frequently drank because it was good for you. Not strictly because they knew they couldn’t drink the water. They did drink a lot of dirty water too.
