At a medical device manufacturer I worked at, it’s even worse: you print a copy of the thing to sign and sign it, then upload that to the digital system and digitally sign there too. You end up with several people printing huge documents, not just the signature page, and each signing a different copy which is uploaded then thrown away. That’s right, one paper copy per person is signed, scanned, then shredded.
Curiousity about why they're against it and enunciating your why you think it will work would be more helpful.

They do, in the first section of the journal article itself:

> Do any forms of thought—our knowledge of the world and ability to reason over these knowledge representations—require language (that is, representations and computations that sup-port our ability to generate and interpret meaningfully structured word sequences)?

Emphasis on "word sequences," to the exclusion of, e.g. body language or sign language. They go on to discuss some of the brain structures involved in the production and interpretation of these word sequences:

> Language production and language understanding are sup-ported by an interconnected set of brain areas in the left hemisphere, often referred to as the ‘language network'.

It is these brain areas that form the basis of their testable claims regarding language.

> Anyone can prove anything and its contrary about language if the term is given whatever meaning is needed for premises to match with the conclusion.

This is why "coming to terms" on the definitions of words and what you mean by them should be the first step in any serious discussion if you aim to have any hope in hell of communicating precisely; it is also why you should be skeptical of political actors that insist on redefining the meanings of (especially well-known) terms in order to push an agenda. Confusing a term with its actual referent is exceedingly commonplace in modern day.
They’ve been working on unrelated problems like structure of the network or how to build networks with better results. There have been people working on improving the efficiency of the low-level math operations and this is the culmination of those groups. Figuring this stuff out isn’t super easy.
>typically devices that messed with magnetic fields at frequencies in the ultrasonic range. (Say, many switching power supplies.) Something a little bit loose wiggles in the field and you get an ultrasonic whine.

High-frequency sounds can end up driving nonlinear oscillators that emit lower-frequency sounds, and all magnetics wiggle - solid elasticity is enough looseness. If I had a whining switching power supply that would be my guess. Of course, some switching power supplies are simply designed to switch at 20khz...

Memories from when the majority of my programming information/influences (I was bbs/modem-less) in the early 90s came from this CD-ROM disc that I had purchased. It was from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simtel

The CD-ROM had this whole SNOBOL directory iirc. This CD-ROM was my entire world for like two years (until I got Internet access in 1995). I miss having oodles of time with zero pressure to do something that pays the bills.

It was like having this gigantic curated dump of collected, sometimes quite old information from a connected world I had no access to. It felt so weird. Like discovering ancient alien civilizations, with no information on how to decipher it all.

I think so many of us were so starved for information back then.
For what it’s worth, this is a Smart TV (ie, a streaming box) that happens to also be monitor sized. I have no idea why anyone would buy one of these for primary use as a computer monitor, and the marketing and messaging is clear and up-front that these are streaming devices running an Internet connected OS.

Why streaming devices need to be so ad-infested is a different interesting topic, but IMO this “my monitor has an EULA” thing is just engagement bait.

Confounding factors are what allows one to tell appart "the system cause less loss of life" from "the system causes more loss of life yet it is only enabled in situations were fewer lives are lost".
There’s an old bonsai trick to force a branch to appear by cutting or bruising the wood above the point so that the cells that differentiate into buds can no longer see the signal from the apical bud, which in species that have them, is telling the rest of the tree to give it all of the energy so it can outcompete other trees reaching for the canopy.

Meanwhile if you prune the apical bud to try to keep the tree small, it will just elect another leader and keep growing on a side branch.

I have a tree in my yard that got nibbled by insects when it was chest high. Killed the crown bud but not its two siblings. One of them won, then stood up straight and two years later you can barely tell.
Unfortunately, DisplayPort and HDMI specifications are kept private unless you're a paying member. I've successfully implemented DisplayPort 1.2 in an FPGA from specification documents I found, but I could never find the specification for anything better.

Not every company has a group that reports directly to the top management and has access to all the employees/information in the company. Therefore the same people who do required audits are sometimes engaged by the management to prepare similar reports as consultants. I've read a few audit reports and they did sound like a set of recommendations to the management.
> But those are problems that governments need to help solve

I don't think that it has a solution. Governments are trying to solve parking for decades and still no solution in sight. If you don't have where to park, you don't have where to charge.
For the human players, the map has a data layer where every tile has a number. Tiles not on the track are 0 and tiles along the course are numbered in ascending order.

The game tracks the last numbered tile each player was on. When the players are too far apart so that they can't all fit on the same screen, then the players who have the smallest number get popped / killed. So if you cut a corner, then you're taking a risk -- you might be further ahead visually, but since you left the course, your last waypoint number will be lower than players still on the course. Those players can swerve in the other direction to force the issue and kill you, if they're paying attention.

In another data section, some of the numbered tiles are marked as key waypoints (my term, I don't know what the Codemaster devs called this). If you miss a key waypoint block entirely, then you are popped for cutting too much.

Those two mechanisms work together to encourage a kind of "iterated prisoners dilemma", on top of the normal racing mechanics. It's great fun.

There are some screenshots that illustrate this at https://bradders.org/MMs/ -- see the section titled "Cutting corners"

For AI players, there's a data layer telling them which way to go next on each tile, much like is described in the OP article here in MMs v1.

Holy crap, I'm going to save that quote forever. I have a co-worker who treats every line of bad code committed as a reason to add ever more layers to CI. Yo, we caught it in testing. There's no reason to add another form we have to fill out.
When you write "unsafe", you are promising to the compiler that the unsafe code enforces the assumptions it is making.

Unsafe code needs to keep its assumption-laden variables private, and it needs to verify the parameters that safe code sends it. If it doesn't do those things, it's breaking that promise.
If the goal is smallest VPN box instead of best for the price server then the float performance doesn't really matter much and both are probably overkill -> too large. Both the n100 and the pi 5 can reach multiple gbps of wireguard throughput, whatever you can get in the smaller total form factor is more ideal than ridiculous throughput.

A table of devices and wg speeds can be found here https://forum.openwrt.org/t/a-wireguard-comparison-db/187586. There are plenty of interesting tiny options, particularly if you don't need a full gig.

See the LG 48 CX OLED television versus the Gigabyte AORUS FO48U OLED monitor. The LG was a jump in quality and performance (4K 120Hz) and many people bought it to use as a computer monitor. But it's smart (cannot disable advertising itself over Bluetooth while on), cannot be woken up over HDMI (requires using the remote control to turn on each day) and it does not have displayport in.

The Aorus is the same panel but not a TV, functions as a monitor should, and I would have bought that instead had I known.

If a product finder like alternativeto.net existed, where you find non-shittified alternatives to a popular appliance, I would use it every time I shop.

> Reminds me a lot of sofrware engineering projects where someone works on this pet project for a long time then someone else comes in and completely ignores it or has no idea how to use it because there's no documentation...

I didn't understand how this connects to the first paragraph at first, but I think you're saying this playthrough is an analog to someone making such documentation, thus saving DF from such a fate?

The general point is certainly true, there's a lot of projects out there that never see as much use as they could, where someone has put a lot of effort into the work, but never managed to present it in an accessible way - where you can't even tell what problem it's solving, even if you're dealing with that problem at that very moment.

No documentation is one obvious way this happens, but there's also lots of projects where there's a good amount of documentation but only at the wrong abstraction level. It's easy to get lost in the implementation and document only the minutiae, but taking the small step to imagine your past self, go back to the big picture, and write just a few paragraphs from that perspective, can make a project so much more usable for others. (It's also ok to just create something for yourself and put it out there in a "take it or leave it" way if you're not charging for it, this is more about the projects that do want more people to use them, but just never manage to present themselves in the right way.)
A bit weird to suggest NameCheap for domains when Cloudflare also sells domains, and spesifically only charge you the registrar fee for the domain.
> As always, barely anyone reads the actual claims in the article and we're left with people opining on the title

One must ask why this is such a common occurrence on this (and almost all other) social media, and conclude that it is because the structure of social media itself is rotten and imposes selective pressures that only allow certain kinds of content to thrive.

The actual paper itself is not readily accessible, and properly understanding its claims and conclusions would take substantial time and effort - by which point the article has already slid off the front page, and all the low-effort single-sentence karma grabbers who profit off of simplistic takes that appeal to majority groupthink have already occupied all the comment space "above the fold."

Thinking about buying a domain name?
Here are some tips to make sure you're ahead of the game:

1 Use a private browser when searching for domains (don’t let the prices spike just because you're interested).

2 If you buy urdomain.tech or urdomain.me, expect urdomain.com to suddenly go up in price. That's how the game works.

3 If you're a student, take advantage of your student pack to get a .tech or .me domain for free for a year.

- Remember—it’s not about the domain, it's about the product. Facebook started as thefacebook.com, now it’s simply facebook.com.

Focus on building value for your customers first, you can always change the domain later .
For what it's worth, I've upgraded three pretty beefy projects to v5 over the past 6 months or so (making sure to stay on top of latest releases), and I haven't seen any weirdness. That being said, I'm not using any of the transition APIs and only one of the projects uses the "runes outside of a Svelte file" thing (i.e. svelte.js files), so YMMV. I was so excited about runes that I couldn't wait. The only thing that bit me initially was `$state` runes converting objects into Proxy instances, so if you want to send data using `postMessage` or IPC in Electron, you need to serialize it first. I really love the new APIs. The Svelte team did an awesome job of addressing most of the gripes I had with v4.
I don't think this claim is extraordinary. Nothing proposed is mathematically impossible or even unlikely, just a pain in the ass to test (lots of retraining, fine tuning etc, and those operations are expensive when you dont have already massively parallel hardware available, otherwise you're ASIC/FPGAing for something with a huge investment risk)

If I could have a SWAG at it I would say a low resolution model like llama-2 would probably be just fine (llama-2 quantizes without too much headache) but a higher resolution model like llama-3 probably not so much, not without massive retraining anyways.
Does this mean you can train efficiently without GPUs?

Presumably there will be a lot of interest.
The title made me wonder where they would go with this,

then it starts with "Imagine Apple decided Spotify was a big enough business threat that it had to take unfair measures to limit Spotify’s growth on the App Store."

Um, okay - apple's store is not open, and spotify is not open source - so the article is over in it's first line..

but let go further

Lock Spotify out of its developer ecosystem - sharecropping on someone else's land has risks - good thing about then a plugin or theme gets kicked out of wordpress.org's system is that WP users can "sideload" from anywhere with any sort of 'jailbreaking', you don't even need to click/tap 'it's okay to load from outside sources' (point 1 from the story)

point 3 - this is completely false - see https://wordpress.org/news/ - and everyone got to see news about this in the wp-admin dashbaord (I think I recall from more than one source)

the other 4 points are eye-roll worthy from me, again see point one.

This is not the first time a similar thing has happened with the wordpress plugin or theme directory.

The rest of this post is clearly very one sided and includes other falsehoods such as "The response was universally negative:"

Growing tired of the article, I scroll and I see a headline "Is WP Engine the only enterprise-ready WordPress hosting provider left"

are you kidding me?

Disagree with the entire piece.

and a return how about "Imagine Apple decided Spotify was a big enough business"... that they could easily afford to pay 30% of the proceeds they make from an app that lives in their ecosystem so that Apple can continue to develop, secure and grow

- so that the app could enjoy those benefits and all can grow..
and if they didn't pay up, they get kicked out of the Apple store,
I mean that would be outrageous!

And you could re-write the article replacing automatic with apple.. oh wait.

> Factorio wouldn't exist with Dwarf Fortress?

According to Factorio's developers, they were heavily inspired by Minecraft factory mods like IndustrialCraft. Minecraft is commonly said to have been inspired by Infiniminer.

I'm not aware of Infinimer being inspired by Dwarf Fortress.

RimWorld is basically "Dwarf Fortress on an alien planet", although the simulation doesn't go as ridiculously deep. RimWorld has in turn inspired a bunch of attempts to do "RimWorld on a spaceship," but none of so far have achieved the status of being a "classic".
Not really. How much has Meta paid out so far on all the biometric settlements? Hundreds of millions? Everyone I know got a $900 from that. Then the Google one was another couple of hundred, right?
This is a wonderfully insightful comment!

I’ve encountered a similar phenomenon with regard to skill as well: people want to ensure that every part of the software system can be understood and operated by the least skilled members of the team (meaning completely inexperienced people).

But similarly to personal responsibility, it’s worth asking what the costs of that approach are, and why it is that we shouldn’t have either baseline expectations of skill or shouldn’t expect that some parts of the software system require higher levels of expertise.
