> I like to have a collection of tools and parts as well as a collection of books.

But, with respect to the parent, would it matter if you didn't own them?

What if, say, tools, parts, and books belonged to the land? There for you to use, but if you move to another plot of land you wouldn't take them with you, but instead would have another set of tools, parts, and books waiting for you when you arrive. Would something about that make you less happy?

that's like saying if you bought a title to a bridge you would be within your legal right to resell it (via copying the title 100 times with a photo copier).

it's all just whatever people agree upon is the correct thing to do, and people don't agree that what you're saying is the correct thing to do.
Exactly, it's very difficult to keep the average so low.

Not impossible, I'm sure I've done it in some of my broke Eastern European years, but most people probably spend more than that on socks and underpants.
No experience.

But the thing is, I usually already have a perfectly capable database, any extra infra better pull its weight and then some.
Depends on how long it's gonna take you and what you're going to smuggle through that hole.
Everyone used to book their summer holidays from Teletext. The Peter Kay sketch about this is quite amusing.

I thought, though I might be wrong, back in the UK we broadcast on 650 lines, and the top or bottom 25 lines were reserved for teletext and also IIRC timing signals, that could start/stop VCRs automatically but was never used in the UK. The teletext signal was tiny in modern terms, it was extremely similar to the BBC Micro 'Mode 7' in size.

The article mentions that VHS 'compressed' the signal. I don't think that was the case, I think it filtered the analogue signal and chopped off the teletext info, but some of it used to leak through, hence the opportunity to recover it.

Then there was Macrovision that fiddled with those not-quite filtered lines to add bursts of colour that would leak through to stop tape-to-tape piracy.

Fun fact: a magazine published a circuit that would remove Macrovision that was then widely photocopied and distributed in the UK. You could order the parts from Tandy or RadioShack, and we took it to school and had (a lot) of help from the teacher putting them together as part of our CDT/tech classes. The rest, is as they say, history.

Surely almost everyone realises by adulthood that the real answer is that most people just aren't trying to be rich? It's not the actual goal of the vast majority of people.

If everyone were trying to maximise their own wealth, we would have no nurses, no-one would be a firefighter, no-one would be police, no-one would work in the military, etc etc. Vast swathes of jobs would have unfillable vacancies because everyone would work them for at most a couple of years whilst living out of their car or similar in order to save, then they'd be hustling and trying to start their own business or get a job in finance or whatever.

I have a fairly solid academic background, and of my cohort, less than half, maybe even under 25%, went into traditionally well paying fields.

Most are more interested in driving academia/science forward or generally on other social goals as long as they have enough to pay for the house and car.

You could equally ask why doesn't everyone lift at the gym 10+ hours a week, or run 50 miles, or aim to learn a new recipe every week, or whatever else. Different people have different goals and that's wonderful. Money is just one of many balls that people try to juggle.
We're are talking about PDFs. A few mb usually. The speed hit of tor is probably fine. Also its a text book. Most users probably find some download latency acceptable.

I imagine the real reason is normies dont have tor installed.
Good analysis. They really killed the golden goose, never understood it. But internal rivalry makes sense, the same thing that bankrupted Nokia.

I know a lot of developers that were really happy in that older Microsoft ecosystem, it was a semi permeable walled garden where you could walk 'the Microsoft way' and everything was kind of laid out before you, neat and cosy. At the dev conferences when javascript started to become unavoidable, there was still a period where they kind of pretended Microsoft invented the web and gave it a nice but small spot alongside all the other, more important technology with which Real Developers make Real Software.

You could have discussions on architecture, but nothing fundamental really, and you'd always follow the prescribed pathways that Microsoft thought out for you. These changed every couple of years, which gave everybody new goals, new certifications to reach, new rewrites to accomplish and get paid for. Anyone that was moderately skilled was quite productive, and it was very easy to get into.

When the web got more complicated than html + jquery in server side generated templates, these developers often had a very bad time and fully retreated into their 'backend' role. The most recent anti javascript stronghold is Blazor, not sure if that is still a viable way to avoid modern frontend tooling.

I never really understood why Microsoft abandoned desktop gui apps like they did and left their walled garden unattended. It was one of their strong points, even though I disliked it a lot.

Be aware that a lot of this also has to do with prompting and sampler settings. For instance changing the prompt from 'write the text on the image verbatim' to something like 'this is an electronics repair log using shorthand...' and being specific about it will give the LLM context in which to make decisions about characters and words.
$95 USD for a nice dress shirt is cheap. $120-150 is normal, $170+ is expensive. I can't find dress shirts I like for $95 USD unless they're on sale for 30-40% off, and that's very rare.

Cheap shirts have terrible collars with no shape, poor cloth that doesn't drape properly or feel nice on your skin, shit buttons (Not MOP or even horn), paper thin plackets, usually boring or gauche fabrics/patterns, etc. The list goes on.

I understand this sounds insane to people who don't care about clothes, but these things matter to me. A shirt that lacks these things looks terrible to me.
I will keep using "classic" for as long as possible. This trend to turn everything into painfully slow web apps is really getting on my nerves. As an example, I use quick steps very frequently to categorize emails. In classic Outlook, I click the button and the email is moved immediately - in the new Outlook it has a ~1 second delay until the email is moved and I can move the next one. Takes so long to get through my inbox.
These are all simple (not necessarily intuitive) if you know how operator binding works in C, (using braces to highlight);

int *x[10]; ---> { int* } x[10];

int (*f (void))[10] ---> int { { (* {f (void) } ) } [10]; }

The point is that once you have had some practice you can work it out and Go's syntax is not necessarily much better.

This is largely true, and it’s codified into law in some places (see s.75 in the UK), however I would say that the protections provided by most major banks on debit card purchases are actually pretty good. The chargeback process for most issuers is very similar or the same. You should use a credit card because you have stronger legal protections, but it’s not like most banks will screw you just for using a debit card.
Would gambling do so well without the constant brainwashing (advertising). Almost every advert I get on TV/web is designed to convince me how much fun gambling is. That seems to include every minute of sport, either player clothing, hoardings, or on-screen.

It's soul-destroying.

They do this to match what you're watching to a database. Think Shazam but with video.

They find what movie, show or whatever you're watching and send it to advertisers with all your metadata, so they can match and track you from an ad impression to you visiting their site to get information and buy.

There's a lot of metadata there to match. If you access their site, for example with your phone, from the same internet connection, they can probably match the information from the TV with one of the tracking cookies on your phone, and then keep tracking you in all the commercial "journey".

This has been already discussed around here because this is one of the reasons smart tvs are so cheap right now, because they're being subsidized by advertisers. Some of the advertisers had in their sites information about their tracking capabilities. I'll try to find that link.
That's irrelevant if you are talking about hidden services.

Oh, but it is. That's exactly what this is about.

I've used table saws, with and without protection. They're all dangerous as fck, because removing the chance of getting hurt means converting it to a completely different kind of tool. Chain saws, same thing. Power tools.

Of course we want them to be as safe as possible, but that's a different discussion. All attempts I've seen so far have dropped functionality to get there.
My worst fear is if Microsoft decides to fiddle with Hotmail/outlook and make it into something I have to pay for. I've had my email address for 15+ years, it's going to be a impossible task to change email address everywhere.

NVIDIA has at least 3 abstraction layers such as this and neither NRI or NVRHI seem to have issues with AMD cards. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the libraries or specific versions have problems with AMD cards, it happens during development.

Most engines I've worked do have abstraction layer for gfx APIs, usually you don't have 3 different API specific implementation for all render passes. Abstraction layers (such as NVRHI) do allow taking manual control when needed though.

Different goals. Qubes cares very deeply about security. Qubes uses virtualisation to isolate different parts of the system from each other. Immutable distros like Vanilla OS care about providing a reliable base system that can be updated without any problems. They want to achieve this by having fewer moving parts by using readonly container images for all the system software. The user then installs additional user-facing software in their home directory (usually as flatpaks). The additional security is more of a by-product than a central design aspect as it is with Qubes.
LLaMa 3.1 has been pre-trained on 15 trillion tokens, plus some more millions for the fine-tuning. About 60 terabytes.

https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-models/blob/main/models/...

The heaviest quantised LLaMa 3.1 8B is about 3.4GB.

So 0.005% compression rate, if you don't mind the intelligence of a heavily quantised 8B model.
I find it funny how in Germany the state lottery advertises itself on TV but needs to add the info that "Gambling can be addictive."

For example, this ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0-pKS_zx5E is made by "LOTTO 6aus49", which is "LOTTO.de", which is "Toto-Lotto Niedersachsen GmbH", which is the lottery company of the state Lower Saxony.

To me this is as if the state would place TV ads for wine which a state-owned winery produces, like "Landesbetrieb Hessische Staatsweingüter" also known as "Hessische Staatsweingüter GmbH Kloster Eberbach".

And the lottery numbers are then presented in the prime time news in the publicly funded television.
Yes, but it’s only an 8 week window and there’s no dispute arbitration process, which is actually bad for merchants too.
The nice thing about sports gambling is it's a strong signal that your local government has been captured by outside interests. If anyone complains about the way things are you can simply point and say well, look we know the government doesn't represent us or work for the people, we have legalized gambling. Of course there's all sorts of other tells too but none is as clear cut without any need of conspiracy theories.

unlike more complex policy areas where vested interests may be hidden behind layers of bureaucracy or decades of refined pseudo-moral talking points, gambling legalization is straightforward: the flow of money into lobbying, the rapid legislative changes, and the immediate establishment of large-scale betting operations make the influence unmistakable. It's a tangible, almost irrefutable sign that decisions are being made in favor of profit at the expense of public welfare.
1. is better because in general because nobody actually knows who's a all-bad troll and who's a worthwhile activist. Least of all the person being criticized. QB himself isn't hurt after he blocks them and can carry on with his life as if it's not happening.

I've heard celebrities say they don't read what anyone says about them on social media. That sounds like a good idea because there's always going to be haters to any popular public figure. Just ignore them and you're fine.

3rd parties being affected? Well stop associating with the widely-hated public figre if you can't handle the heat of celebrities.
I think, at this point, we can assume if it has a camera, microphone in the controller, connects to wifi, etc, it will be spying on you in some way. No list needed, just look for displays without those features.

I get around it by using PC displays as televisions, usually hooked up to a thinclient or SBC that I've purpose for media delivery. So, when I shop for a display, any feature beyond an HDMI port becomes wholly unnecessary to me.
Sometimes, I easily get distracted, and my hand automagically opens distracting sites.

I structured all my jobs to allow a quiet place to think and to take walks. Lived in California, Arizona, and Washington, all wonderful places to take walks.

Anecdata: I need fresh air and strongly prefer to keep windows open in most kinds of weather. My wife and my children, now all adults, picked up the habit. Our houses are usually kind of dusty.
Not only does the UI suck, most keyboard shortcuts also no longer work or are just way to slow for my workflow.

I don't think that's necessary as app stores are already regional and easy to put additional restrictions on, and desktop internet usage is slowly being overtaken by app usage. And who knows, maybe even Windows 15 will only allow software downloaded through Safe and Verified(tm) app stores.

> Probably shouldn't base your entire opinion of the study on a 17 second video or a fluff article.

I comment based on what I have, and using my personal experience on the field. Experience based on decades of hard study. I had studied Cephalopods for more than 17 seconds, you can bet for it.

If this is common behavior, don't you think that with all the scientists doing research on Cephalopods since Aristotle, and with the millions of hours of people keeping Cephalopods on captivity, somebody would had described it long time ago?. I wonder why suddenly science only finds facts that support the ideologies from the politics that (duh) block, or allow, the money trickle for research.

Never had seen so much wonderful hype science as since the last years. So much 'interesting' interpretations on the reality that defy the logical explanation, since the LLM landed. Suddenly cows fly and pigs live underground. How we never realized this wonders before the IA?

If you want me to spend hours chasing articles, pruning the lying and counterfeit, and making you a report, no problem. Just pay me for my time. Alternatively, if you want to believe that octopuses are small alien children walking undersea gardens with umbrellas, good for you. It's a free country.
Now we have something better, IPP everywhere. The protocol isn't as simple as netcating a postscript, but is simple enough, standardized and does everything expected for printing.
We're already going there, the new Python integration for Excel is cloud-only - the Python is not executed locally. It wouldn't surprise me if more and more features in Excel going forward will be the same way.
Fun fact: I operated a TOR node for a while (not an exit node). It was in a datacenter and I mostly got yelled at because the IP was flagged as malicious outbound and the reputation of the IP range was degraded. I stopped the node but I still have the IP adress which is still inaccessible to most office workers years after ;-).

At no time did I think that I was risking jail time if my computer was seized. I'm lucky enough to live in a democratic country and I have a clean conscience.

There are two main types of people who are interested in TOR, the defence of privacy and the development of privacy protection software:

- Those who think about the situation of homosexuals and journalists in countries where they risk the death penalty or life imprisonment. Police state, government overreach, woman health, etc...

- Those who live in democratic countries but have a lot to hide.

The two populations coexist but do not mix.

As far as I can tell, they have already merged. Both the free version of Mail and enterprise version of Outlook (New) run the same user interface.
That commenter is probably just someone who has never used anything but Windows on the desktop.
Yeah, that's why I always tell people to buy a domain for email, so they can move it where they want at any time. Hopefully, it becomes more and more standard with email providers. But when you have a long history, the best you can do is setup a redirection and change email address at the few places where it is really important (bank, google/microsoft/apple account, ...).
Yep, it's my fault guys, sorry: I just migrated my grandma from Outlook 2007 to the new Outlook last week, so of course they have to deprecate it. Keeping the oldies sharp by having them learn new UI patterns every now and then
I mean…do you plan on outlasting Hotmail? 15 years isn’t that long. Your choices are probably to do it proactively or to do it when your back is against the wall. There is no third option. I’m not going to be like one of those insane nerds advocating for running your own mail server, but if you care about email address longevity, mail at one’s own domain seems the only way to actually achieve that. These days, it’s zero effort to use Fastmail or Hey or something to get email at your own domain. They register it for you and everything! The hard bit is, as you say, moving everything. But, again, that’s inevitable.
https://andrew-quinn.me isn't anything particularly special itself, except for https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf which probably permanently improved thousands of people's shell experiences with a very small additional increase in the complexity of their setup.

But my overall web presence has been hugely helpful in generating leads of both the personal and the professional sort. Plus, I kind of like being "that guy" who shows up in 7 different Internet niches because he's just always doing things.

Fun fact: having nmap installed on your computer is illegal in Germany.

That does not sound right and I am unable to find any source for that claim.

EDIT: Nmap might fall under § 202c STGB [1] and »verschaffen« (obtain) probably does not even require installing it, downloading it would probably be sufficient. But my non-lawyer interpretation would be that this only applies if you are doing it for the purpose of a crime as it starts with »Wer eine Straftat nach § 202a oder § 202b vorbereitet, indem er [...]« (Who prepares a criminal act according to § 202a or § 202b by [...]).
