Ridiculous. Absolutely anything can be misconstrued.

As Peters said:

> If you're determined to take offense, offense is what you'll find.

> When someone tells you something said earlier was problematic, listen. That is not an opportunity for debate. That is an expression of pain. It is time to stop and reflect upon what has happened.

Also ridiculous. Guilty by accusation, without even the possibility of proving one‘s innocence.

> SC member Emily Morehouse pointed out that it is often difficult to communicate what led to a specific code-of-conduct action.

If you cannot even explain your actions, it is very likely they were not justified, and you should not have taken them.

> But it is not really a surprise that Peters is already missed. Serhiy Storchaka asked about contacting Peters for his technical expertise, which Wouters seemingly discouraged; Storchaka specifically said he was not trying to route around the SC decision, but might be able to continue to work with Peters through GitHub. Meanwhile, in a thread about possible changes to the voting system for SC elections, Guido van Rossum noted that the voting-system expert he knows is banned: "Maybe we can wait until his 3-month ban expires and ask him for advice?"

The glaring issue here would be standardization. Either every place uses the same sounds, or you have to learn a new system for each place you visit using this sort of thing. This is also why you couldn't change notes regularly, which would be boring and repetitive for everyone else.

There are popular apps written in C# on the platform, but they're Unity games, which use il2cpp and I believe still use Boehm gc. I think this demonstrates a different point, since even a bad GC apparently doesn't stop them from shipping a mobile game… but it is a bad GC.

(Games typically don't care about power efficiency much, as long as the phone can keep up rendering speed anyway.)

> Also, .NET tends to heavily zero memory in general, as the spec dictates that fields, variables, arrays contents, etc. must be initialized to their default values before use (which is zero).

Same for most other languages, but there's a time difference between zeroing on free and zeroing on allocation. Of course, once you've freed everything on the page there are ways to zero the page without swapping it back in. (just tell the OS to zero it next time it reads it)

i think the problem is signature verification APIs should return the signed data or an error and then the consumer should use the signed data from the API and not any other data. then there is no confusion over what was signed or not.

in the case of XML signature verification they probably should return a list of (XMLElement, Path) tuples. so the actual XMLElement that was signed and verified by the API and a path to the element in the document. having APIs that return IDs and then make assumptions that the signature verification code and the consumer code is going to perform resolution the same way is dangerous. even returning the path is a potential footgun but I assume consumers of an XMLSignature need to be able to check that elements appear in certain places in the document. i guess also DOM model APIs are probably implicitly returning a path if they support navigating by `getParentElement()`.
they’re never an option.
It's underfunded. I'm willing to bet that the countries they're thinking of moving to either spend more on healthcare as a proportion of GDP than the UK does or don't have healthcare that's free at the point of use (or both).
Yes, that is what blowback means.
A better analogy is a product safety bulletin, if your stove has a design flaw that can burn down your house the main difference is whether you or the manufacturer knows to do something about it. The bugs exist and people exploit them, it's mostly a question of whether the general public is aware. Breaking into houses requires a lot of labor to scale, exploiting software bugs doesn't so past some point more people knowing about them doesn't increase risk in the same way.

After 25 years of this debate it's pretty clear what works.

You could say the same thing of any product update link, like the latest versions of Rails, Postgresql, Mongodb, etc. A general assumption is that there are many products that the community is already familiar with, so that an introduction is unnecessary.
405b even at low quants would have very low tokens generation speed, so even if you got the 192GB it would probably not be a good experience. I think 405b is the kind of model that only makes sense to run in clusters of A100/H100.

IMO it is not worth it, 70b models at q8 are already pretty darn good, and 128gb is more than enough for those.

I hear you and I agree on the surface but I really wish Apple better understood 2 things:

1. Not every device can be your best seller

2. Some product categories are important to fill even if sales are low (even very low)

Apple doesn’t release per-device breakdowns so it’s hard to have conversations on this topic but I’d bet money that the Mini (or another example: the Mac Pro) sold at levels that most companies would drool over.
For natural persons there's right to privacy. That's a whole different thing.

Not necessarily. Something could be perfectly secure today and for the next 100 years but be trivial to crack in 1000 years because the landscape changed so much. Something that is inconceivable to crack by brute force now won’t be as compute power keeps rising.

People associate behavior and objects with things they are familiar with. This gives them some kind of grounding in context so they can more easily dissociate with potential threats.

There is a good example of this in batman, which outlines the situation well.

The joker says:

Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan.” But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

We expect that soldiers and gang bangers have risks associated with that behavior, but mayors should not.

The Game-Changer in Machine Learning: How Autostopping Saved My Sanity
On a meta level I agree that having this kind of dataset with "before and after" would be pretty interesting. On an object level I do not predict that this would increase the overall diversity of language usage - and in fact it would be extremely surprising if this was even possible due to some general mathematical properties of neural networks - nor would "more professional writing," though I do agree with this characterization of the way AI-generated text sounds. The more I work with LLMs and encounter them in the wild, the greater my confidence that I can tell when something was generated, with the exception of B2B marketing copy and communications from HR departments or state agencies

On the level of meta-discourse you seem to want to also speak to: Dang even when people have the Official Corporate Approved Perspective (in particular, the claim that it's "like being able to chat with someone that has an infinite vocabulary" is probably the silliest delusional AI hype I've heard all week) and the most upvotes in the thread they still think they're an embattled ideological minority.

The most infuriating thing was extreme fragmentation when it came to support of various APIs in devices, even devices from the same vendor. Nokia was prominently culpable of this. The Finnish giant vomited out an enormous stream of S40 and S60 phones whose support for APIs was all over the map, which meant producing a shitload of JARs depending of what you needed, and the code was cluttered with constant checks of what is supported and what not. What an irony given Java's official motto of "Write once, run anywhere". Just freaking no.

Being a developer for Nokia was its own kind of hell. They never understood what API standardization is for and didn't care about your time and effort.

Hey, here are 12 different devices for this year with different hardware, screen size and other equipment, and you'd better get your hands on all of them to make sure that your app really works and looks acceptably, because an emulator only gets you half way.

don’t get me wrong, i strongly believe that when a people are fit for it, democracy is the best political organization. but they have to be fit for it. the west transitioned into democracy when they were fit for it but are gradually transitioning out and hiding real political power behind government agencies that are unaffected by the whims and caprices of the crowd (aka electorates). miniature monarchies/tyrannies/etc reign in the west now. in my opinion, this makes sense and is invariably better especially in the world we currently live in. eg the united states cannot allow a series of bad elections to lead to its annihilation.
You’re leaving out one very important class of actors, which I will call the NSA: The NSA, and others like them, unlike Mossad, are not after you personally, in that they don't want to do anything to you. Not immediately. Not now. They simply want to get to know you better. They are gathering information. All the information. What you do, what you buy, how you vote, what you think. And they want to do this to everybody, all the time. This might or not bite you in the future. You seems to imply that since nothing immediately bad is happening by using slightly bad security, then it’s OK and we shouldn’t worry about it, since Mossad is not after us. I think that we should have a slightly longer view of what allowing NSA (et al.) to know everything about everybody would mean, and who NSA could some day give this information to, and what those people could do with the information. You have to think a few steps ahead to realize the danger.

We're obviously no longer in those times. Many things that were once sustainable are no longer so. It is well understood that cotton production will face considerable difficulties in the future. At the same time the demand for cotton has exploded along with global population. Consumer prices of cotton do not accurately reflect the production cost due to the usual reasons (externalities, lack of global water pricing mechanisms).

> Water is a very inexpensive resource in most parts of the world.

I don't think you know what you're talking about, and you're (like myself) living in a privileged part of the world if water is an inexpensive resource to you. Freshwater scarcity is going to be one of the most critical issues exacerbated by the climate change, and as I said, particularly so in those parts of the world where cotton is grown such as South Asia. The most famous case of cotton production having catastrophic consequences is the Aral Sea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea).

By that standard, the taliban are the result of socialism. Really:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Afghanistan#Contemp...

The taliban came to power by stopping socialist massacres, most famously in a "torture prison" the socialists built. That is what made people choose their side. They killed less people in open warfare than socialist revolutionaries did in peacetime, and much less than the Soviets did when "helping the socialist revolution spread".

Despite what happened since, sadly, I think you'll agree things never got as bad in Afghanistan as they did during the socialist revolution they had there. Not even now.

I'm really having a problem understanding this mindset - all FPS games (especially older ones) were riding on coat-tails of Doom and other ID games. Which is great - we got a whole cultural revolution in wider gaming and spawned a massively popular genre full of experimentation on that formula. There's countless examples of this in culture through history.

How is that bad? Why is there this strong wish for a single corporation to own our culture and what we are without allowance to experiment, build upon it and allow market competition for the best evolution?

> Sure, but if they raise prices, then US manufacturing becomes more competitive again.

Manufacturing isn't something you can just turn on like a computer program. It takes time develop the infrastructure, talented labor and product designs. For something like cars we're talking about many years. It took China decades of concerted effort and heavy subsidies to get where they are now. Without subsidies, starting this process takes even longer and may even be impossible.

Accordingly, if you already have this industrial capacity it would be mind blisteringly moronic to let it slip away from you. What can be destroyed in a few years will take many more years to build back, and won't be built back at all unless you reverse the moronic policies that let it get away from you in the first place.

It would depend a lot on the device, but open sourcing it would at least make it easier to move some devices to existing community supported projects (e.g. openWRT, DD-WRT, Rockbox). When that happens then there usually an improvement in both security ad features of the devices.
Could you provide examples of such risks? Because in my understanding, if some function/constant is exported but never imported anywhere, then it must be dead code and never run. And if it was reachable, then TypeScript would fail the compilation. As such, it sounds reasonably safe to me to remove it.

I only see these potential risks:

1. Using a mix of TS/JS and having some blind spots where we could accidentally delete non-dead code without the compiler noticing.

2. Having and relying on side effects. For example, `export const foobar = thisFnWillDoSthImportant()` and then, yes, removing that would break things.

3. Having separate projects/libs where some consumer might be accessing your exports directly.

Do you see other risks than those?

Thing is, Israel currently is an apartheid state, so the status quo is not acceptable.

In addition, tens of thousands of civilian casualties within the country, and ignoring ICJ rulings which Israel have signed up to, indicate effectively a rogue government, needing change.

There is a question over what defines Israel as a state, there's no reason why Palestinians and Jews should not be able to live together, with a shared government, but that's not the case here, and that seems to be because Israelis are taking land, making asymmetric laws, allowing anyone with 'Jewish' heritage citizenship regardless of their actual location, and so on. The issue is basically Zionism and the fact that Zionism effectively mandates ethnic cleansing, not Judaism.
