My question, related to the parent's post: why is WP.org under any obligation to provide any service to WP Engine and its users?

And you're saying that they targeted one user specifically ... I say, where's the problem?

To make a proper analogy, if Google abused Wikipedia or the Internet Archive, shouldn't these non-profits have the power to ban one specific user from abusing their free services?

And yes, Automattic pays WP.org's bills. I would prefer independence ... maybe if more companies contributed, that would happen.

> Humans learn from examples, not from “core concepts”

That's a subtitle in the article, and it's wrong.
That is a good argument.

I have however thought that the actual reason was because Russia depends on it.

They seriously even use it to coordinate artillery strikes although lately I have seen evidence they now sometimes use Discord.

I am not sure, and being convinced that Pavel Durov has actually visited Russia several times the last few years make me question my assumptions.

However I still see Russian opposition being more scared now after Pavels visit to France because now the terms of service has been updated to tell us that they will ahare our ip address and phone number with law enforcement if they feel compelled to or something to that effect.
> Are they hard to make at home? I haven't found great/reliable spots to get these in SF. (Where are the great SF spots for these??)

A number of Japanese students I knew just used leftover rice to make onigiri for lunch the next day.

In SF, Super Mira on Sutter & Buchanan has an assortment. And of course Nijiya. I don't think Onigilly is anything special.

My son loves to ride a bus too, I'm not a fan, and near me buses are single deck, quite old and unpleasant and really quite expensive.

I discovered they city park and ride scheme was the perfect solution. It's cheaper than parking in the city centre and unlimited bus rides to and from the centre on nice new double decker buses.
This really hits home. Like everyone, I tend to fall into routines and get comfortable with the familiar. But having kids constantly pushes you out of that comfort zone because they're excited by things that might seem small or inconvenient to you. Embracing their enthusiasm is not only good for them but for you too. It brings some variety and breaks the routine. I always have to resist the urge to tell my kids, "No, we're not doing that because..." Just going with the flow and joining in their little adventures is incredibly rewarding. It's not just about making them happy—you gain just as much. Their joy is just the bonus.

Assuming that NASA is correct about this leak being associated with an interior or exterior weld, what can we learn from the rate of growth of the leak? I assume (with no domain knowledge, seeking enlightenment!) that a leak like this is big enough to reflect a fracture in the weld, and not merely air sneaking past a tiny flaw; and I assume its growth means that the fracture itself is growing, under the combination of load (atmospheric pressure on one side) and cycling (thermal, etc). Is a fracture like this likely to continue to grow in a linear-ish domain, or is there a point where propagation goes non-linear assuming the loads stay constant-ish? Is this even a sane question to ask?
The lines for what is legal are not at all drawn arbitrarily in a constitutional legal system such as the United States.
Answer my other question
I would argue that markets are a necessary step towards capitalism but it's also crucial to remember that markets can also exist outside of capitalism. The accumulation of money in a society with insufficient defenses will trend towards money being a stand-in for power and influence, but it still requires the permission and legal leeway of the system in order to actually turn it corrupt; politicians have to both be permitted to, and be personally willing to accept the checks to do the corruption in the first place.

The biggest and most salient critique of liberal capitalism as we now exist under is that it requires far too many of the "right people" to be in positions of power; it presumes good faith where it shouldn't, and fails to reckon with bad actors as what they are far too often, the modern American Republican party being an excellent example (but far from the only one).

"If you release your code under the GPL, large companies won't touch it."

"The GPL isn't as free as these corporate-friendly licenses."

It's too bad the corporate talking points took hold and convinced so many people that open source means "free as in free labor". I've seen people berated for choosing the GPL. Use the GPL if your goal is to contribute to the open source ecosystem. Choose another license if your goal is the honor of having a company with billions in revenue using your software for free.
X-Plane has some pretty solid space and reentry physics last I checked. They had a shuttle landing mission which was super cool (and hard)
It's good to see more folks getting exposed to this style of hosting.

For ~9 years I've been comboing Ansible, Docker Compose and git to deploy web apps to a VPS or more generally any Debian based host. Roughly 10-15 lines of YAML and 1 command to get everything up and running in a production ready way. It really does work, I've deployed about 60 or 70 different apps this way for clients over the years.

TL;DR:

* 11B-Vision: 5.5% hallucination rate
Exactly.

The only difference between the two is that one has a business providing a useful service to millions and millions of people.
The blast radius of trust is much larger though. If we don't have a reliable way of stopping similar attacks in the future then it's pretty bad for everyone, not only for Hezbollah.
Totally agree.

I think with the suburban explosion and rise of the personal automobile we’ve seen individualism trump collectivism. I don’t think we’ll ever see a new deal or social security like initiative in America until the power structures in our society are changed fundamentally.
Play some games that interest you and model on paper how you think it could (or should) work.

As a mature intellectual returning to games later in life, I really enjoy financial and market simulators. OpenTTC, Kenshi, most 4x strategy games have crude forms. It may sound strange to others, yet simulated versions of real life complexity makes for gratifying intellectual challenge.

Or make a tiny game exhibiting some kernel of wisdom you have learned over these years.

Build yourself up to it, starting in the back of your mind.
I think they are super easy to make.

My tip is to go to a japanese grocery store and buy an onigiri mold for $3. All you do is stuff the rice (and fillings) into the mold and press. Keep the mold in a bowl of water between making balls (like they keep ice cream scoops in water)
You all sound like you have adhd. If you can’t budget you will never get a corporate job and youll be odd about panhandling and asking for money. Gambling is fun when budgeted, sports gambling can have a positive expected value, unlike the games, but they can be fun. There’s people that don’t have money anxiety you live in a money bubble. Go play catch. Most people here need to see a doctor about getting perscribed adderal.

I don't think that's the same. Amz Sidewalk is very slow, low bandwidth over sub-GHz. What GP is thinking about is probably along the lines of, if not getting Internet access by the owner, willy-nilly connecting to any open wifi network it finds, and uses that.

But "meshing" with other apparatus from the same manufacturers is a clever and evil idea - perhaps another TV from the same brand is in range and has Internet, then they can proxy that way.

All these probably break some regulations or laws.
Binance far and away dominates non-United States volume of crypto trading. If you think that Coinbase, a publicly traded US company, has real volume and earns a fee for that, then it's not hard to understand why Binance has real revenues and value.
I've also been fascinated by bitcoin but never made the leap.

The problem I always come back to is that it isn't a currency, a store of value, private, and I disagree with bitcoin's approach to decentralization. (A long list, I know. Every couple years I get the itch then rediscover all my complaints).

Attempting to create a decentralized currency based on anything other than a supply-constrained natural resource is simply a losing game as far as I see it. The currency will be based only on promises, belief, and trust. A decentralized network is more akin to a Mexican standoff, trust and belief aren't what keep everyone from pulling the trigger.

To further my knowledge - did Hamas coordinate with Hezbollah for Oct 7? Or did they start launching rockets out of solidarity and general support? How many rockets = 1 pager? Is Israels response proportional? Maybe half the number of pagers should have exploded?

But now that AB 2426 has become law, it moves more in line towards GDPR in terms of transparency. E.g. you have to be transparent of using licenses etc.

What I really like about this new law is that it makes (or should make) it easier to unsubscribe. Just Google how difficult it is to unsubscribe several major SaaS players, like e.g. Semrush on SEO. Good luck being compliant to AB 2426 with that 6-10 step!
If the calls first pass through a memory safe language as what gvisor does, isn’t the attack surface greatly reduced?

It does seem however that Firecracker + GPU support (or https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor) is most promising though.

Doubt it. Mine's aftermarket. The manufacturer doesn't offer remote start on their manual transmission vehicles so I had to get an aftermarket system if I wanted remote start for those -50 days. Mine's a little older / less fancy than some of those linked[0] but essentially the same.

I doubt it would ever solve my problem (they're still not going to offer half the functionality on a M/T vehicle), but there's no reason they couldn't offer something like this as a couple hundred dollar option on most of their vehicles. They already basically have all the hardware in the car I figure.

> But the weaker conclusion that you can't simply assume that two completely different systems that exhibit the same observable behavior must use the same mechanism to achieve that behavior does strike me as compelling.

Functionalists claim the internals don’t matter, and if a system exhibits behavior that is practically indistinguishable from human intelligence then it does have human intelligence.

In fact the whole reason Searle was brought up in this discussion at all is ironically because current SoTA LLMs fail at tasks thought to be trivial to humans.

A casino isn't a "knowing participant" to any specific crime — no criminal comes up to them and makes a deal to launder money through the casino.

But casinos (for example) have a tacit agreement with the "criminal industry" in general, that criminals will be able to inherently launder money through the cash-in/cash-out mechanisms of the casino, in exchange for having to play some table games (and therefore lose at least a small percentage of their money, i.e. give a percentage of their ill-gotten gains to the casino) to make everything look legitimate.

If a given business has a business model where it would not possibly stay afloat over the long term, if not for some appreciable fraction of its customer base making use of the business for money laundering — then the business is a "knowing participant" to the general concept of money laundering, even if they have never shaken hands with any specific criminals. Their MBAs knowingly design the business around enabling money laundering.

Come to think of it, this is a bit like the argument the US DOJ used to take down Napster — which actually, finally somewhat convinces me of the logic they used.

The Napster company's business model depended upon some appreciable fraction of its clientele being IP pirates. For everyone else, Napster was a vitamin; but for pirates, Napster was a painkiller. Napster would never have achieved spread without a core base of pirates to spread it. The Napster company's business model (presumably something like "make the software widely used, then sell ads that display in the client" or something) depended on — was planned around — piracy. Thus, Napster was in tacit collusion with pirates; just as most money launderers are in tacit collusion with gangsters.
> a lot of people would be eager to know the names of these banks that let customers operate without KYC for awhile

Non sequitur. Banks generally have to have KYC to do business, though there are famous exceptions in history. There is no jurisdiction I know of in which as a customer not providing KYC is itself a crime.
Author here.

Yeah, you shouldn't believe it yet, but here is the status of each:

* "As powerful as C": unproven. I might need something like Rust's `unsafe`, and even though I have something in mind for that, it requires that any program be expressible in Dynamic Restricted Structured Concurrency, an open problem. I am working on a proof, though.

* "As flexible as Lisp": I think this is proven. Yao has equivalents for both macros (keywords) and reader macros (lexing modes). My build system uses its own keywords to implement a build DSL [1]. The shell sublanguage uses a lexing mode, and another makes it possible to embed JSON.

* "As easy as Python": in retrospect, this isn't quite possible, but I hope to get 90% of the way.

* "As provable as Ada/SPARK": I'll let you read the design in [2] and decide for yourself. But Yao will also have contracts.

* "More reliable than Rust": unproven, but I think the lack of async will go a long way.

* "With the time semantics of HAL/S": unproven. HAL/S was what the Shuttle software was written in [3]. It was hard real-time. Because Yao will be distributed in IR form [4], the back end could leverage knowledge of worst-case instruction latencies to calculate worst-case response times. This same thing will also allow using only constant-time instructions for cryptography, using a `constant_time` function trait.

I've been using outlook 2010 for 15 years (+ and old license of "lookeen")

it seems to be the least bad version I've encountered for an exchange client that seems compatible with modern exchange

if I had super modern exchange and had to use the latest desktop client, I'd probably just use the webclient at this point as it's probably better

ultimately, I'd take gmail over any incarnation of MS mail apps these days (including outlook 2010)

Sentry: the $128M ARR error tracker disrupting New Relic
Argentina is currently facing a huge teenager gambling addiction on illegal websites, we're talking about kids from 11 years old onwards. They gamble on school breaks, among their friends as something completely natural. Mobsters catch them by giving away for free an initial fixed amount of money, then they get hooked and keep betting and burning money. The worst part of it is that is an extremely silent addiction: parents would only realize about it once a kid is so full of debts that they get threatened by the mobsters that run these sites, in their despair they reveal the situation to their parents. They easily search them online through social networks and pressure them really hard for the money that they owe. In my opinion online gambling is a f***g disgrace and should simply not exist at all. It ruins lives and families. It should only be possible to play/gamble/bet physically in a casino or authorized venue.
> generally illegal in pretty much any place that has income/capital gains/wealth taxes

Authoritarian governments typically enforce fiat currency to monitor citizens, especially those with financial ties to anti-establishment entities. They couldn't care less if you're trading tomatoes.
I think "non-echo chamber content" is only valuable as long as all of it is similarly high quality. In my opinion, reading diverse but low quality content (e.g. filled with misinformation, a lack of concrete information, and a lack of sensible reasoning) is not helpful.
I looked into upscaling for the original episodes of Police Squad. Paid a good chunk of money for an AI upscaler because I was too curious how good of a job it could do.

The results were not great. When there's too many different things impacting the quality of the source, the AI just can't do a great job. In the case of Police Squad DVD rips, they were low res and noisy.

When I eventually found a higher resolution Bluray version, I ran that through just to denoise it and got much better results. My understanding is that it also would have been able to do a good job upscaling given a source that wasn't noisy.

Maybe you can use a chain of models to handle both problems. I didn't try anything like that. Though I would expect the tool to have that as an option if it is something that worked well.
Not sure what you're getting at. You don't claim LLMs is good in your comment. You just complain about people being annoyed at it destroying the internet?

Are you just annoyed that people complain about what bothers them? Or do you think LLMs has been a net good for humanity and the internet?
This specific project looks like a case of "we have this platform for automotive and industrial use, running Llama on the dual-core ARM CPU is slow but there's an FPGA right next to it". That's all the justification you really need for a university project.

Not sure how useful this is for anyone who isn't already locked into this specific architecture. But it might be a useful benchmark or jumping-off-point for more useful FPGA-based accelerators, like ones optimized for 1 bit or 1.58 bit LLMs
Gambling in general is not addictive unless you have adhd and are extremely impulsive. That leads to other problems. There’s people without adhd that think it’s fun and sports betting can be a winner not much different poker. They have computer models that are profitable funds a lot of stuff in a world where people think controlling inflation is a good idea. Most people here sounds like they have Parkinson’s or something.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I asked people who are helping with the infra of WordPress.org and they are not sure why Singlehop is showing "The Wordpress Foundation" for those IPs. They belong to the hosting provider W.ORG is using and this is just mislabelling on their part. Relevant people will get in touch and ask them to correct it.

And, quick side note, no one from Automattic or WordPress Foundation would ever misspell WordPress!

The method of delivery is too imprecise to guarantee only (or even mostly) the combatants are targeted. A targeting system that was "blind" by design (intention) was almost guaranteed to harm civilians inside civilian buildings, and it did. Terror is a big component of terrorism and the goal of terrorizing civilian population with random explosions and death around them was definitely achieved. In effect this was a slightly more targeted version of bombing a hospital because some military targets are there. Also from the quote above:

> “Authorities have reportedly dismantled unexploded devices in universities, banks, and hospitals.”

> all large financial transactions or storage useful and active in commerce require KYC

Not at all. I have authorised large wires without providing KYC or collecting KYC from the other party. My bank knows who I am. And I colloquially know the person I'm sending money to. But I haven't e.g. run them through OFAC.
