This was an interesting tidbit about the film but my guess is, even if I did process the scratches, they'd probably register as glitches or something, due to radiation or who knows what. At some level it seems consistent with the plot thread surrounding HAL.
If you apply the more detailed equation I bet it says the mass doesn't change, so there is no change around the circle to measure.

Only CG-NAT provides any semblance of "privacy" from the perspective of the outside world, but is a hideous technology that shouldn't exist.

Normal NAT as seen with home internet routers provides zero privacy, because you still have a predictable public IP.

People also think that IPv4+NAT provides security, but IPv4 is such a tiny address space that all public IPs are scanned daily by various malicious bots. Meanwhile IPv6 is so enormous that unless you register your address in some public way, you're completely invisible to port-scanning bots by default!

Postgres makes a distinction between IMMUTABLE, STABLE, and VOLATILE functions, with volatile functions being functions that - with the same arguments - can produce different results even within the same statement. Therefore VOLATILE functions will always be executed once per call.

So Ubuntu doesn't provide apt packages so if I want to use apt I have to muck around with PPAs? I don't want to have to add a PPA for every software I install. This is why Debian is better for my use case -- all I have to do is apt install and boom I have the Debian package installed. All this works out of the box on a Debian installation.

If you don't like Snap, use a distro that doesn't use Snap. If you pick a Snap distro it's just making your life harder for the sake of being difficult.

This applies to many things in Linux world in addition to Snap:

- systemd/sysvinit

- Wayland/X

- apt/rpm

- Musl/glibc
Indeed.

On systems with unfortunate evaluation semantics for `RAND`, you can generate fresh random values for each row by creating a function for that purpose and calling it on the primary key of each row. I provide one example in the article at:

https://blog.moertel.com/posts/2024-08-23-sampling-with-sql....

I'll include a copy here because it's short. It's for DuckDB and was created to let us generate a controllable number of fresh random values for each row:

-- Returns a pseudorandom fp64 number in the range [0, 1). The number
-- is determined by the given `key`, `seed` string, and integer `index`.
CREATE MACRO pseudorandom_uniform(key, seed, index)
AS (
(HASH(key || seed || index) >> 11) * POW(2.0, -53)
);

A key aspect of IPv6 is that the address space is big enough that 'carving it up' for subnets is dramatically simpler even at the largest scales. You don't need to be frugal with network sizes, and you don't need central coordination to avoid conflicts. This is huge!

E.g.: If I want to deploy a cloud VPC (or vNET), then I have to go find "the guy with the spreadsheet" and peel off a tiny(!) private IPv4 address space. If he's away from his desk or on holidays, my 1-minute automation script will now take 1-10 working days until he's back and responding to requests. With IPv6 this just disappears as a bottleneck.
> I doubt it will increase cost for traditional CPU-based clouds.

Yeah I think you’re right about that. But what about GPU’s? Will they benefit from economies of scale or the opposite?
Quite the opposite, for most cases you don't hit the scale where asymptotic algorithmic performance really makes a big impact (e.g., for many small set comparisons, iterating over a list is faster than a hash set, but only by 10-50% or so), vs switching to a compiled language which instantly gets you 10x to 100x performance basically for free.

Or perhaps another way to look at it, if you care enough about performance to choose a particular algorithm, you shouldn't be using a slow language in the first place unless you're forced to due to functional requirements.
Heh, I never worked on iOS but based on what I heard from our iOS team at the time, I don't think iOS was any better. Though a lot of the frustrations back then were largely app review issues rather than API stability, like trying to push out a big feature release or bug fix and getting rejected because the reviewer found a new way to follow 20 links to get from the help center website to a page allowing you to sign up for a subscription outside the app store...

Web might be a better counter example - it started super locked down, but has slowly gained useful functionality like notifications, USB, serial, GPU, etc within the sandbox model. It just encourages more investment over time as new functionality is added, rather than annoying devs as useful functionality (documented or undocumented) is taken away.
well, i think there are more commonalities than that but since my argument was that commonalities aren't really needed, to me this point is not really important.

You could let users choose what to mirror, and one of those choices could be a big bucket of all the least available stuff, for pure preservationists who don't want to focus on particular segments of the data.

Indeed. While it is painful for the people who know they have a simpler architecture, making errors and other cross-cutting effects explicit is necessary at some point. It's essential complexity that shouldn't be hidden; it should be addressed from the get-go. Although the industry largely has the wrong incentives and discourages robust, comprehensible programs.
Very interesting!

My first thought when seeing this is, could I use this as a "progress map" for a subject I'm learning? So add my own notes, and use AI to find and recommend more resources?

My second thought is, can you build one of these for everything I've ever learned, and want to learn?

I've long (15 years?) been waiting for a system that knows not only my interests, but my knowledge, and can use that data to find or generate the optimal learning experience for any subject.

(Khan Academy used to have a big interconnected graph of how all the knowledge on their platform fit together (dependencies) but for some reason they removed it...)

AI is getting pretty close, especially now that they've rolled out memory and conversations... wild times we live in!

There is context that makes this not just look like a simple technical issue. Twitch promotes a certain twitch streamer who is openly and brazenly supportive of hamas terrorists, and has said some very evil things, and spread a lot of disinformation, by any measure violating many rules. Then there is the 2 people being unbanned that others mentioned, both of which doing similar things. Interestingly, the first person I mentioned is far-left, and these 2 people (atleast one of them) are far right.

So it definitely goes beyond just looking like an innocent error in my eyes. I can't think of any logical reason whatsoever they'd ban israelis intentionally.
Lying? I didn't even mention or talk about those people. "He" being the guy you responded to, saying that you cannot be against Israel's genocide and Zionist mission without being called an anti semite.

Both of your replies are examples of what Zionists usually do, thank you for showing us again.

And I don't even know who Sneako or FNF is, what they've done or said, or if they should be banned or not.
OP here, my thing was that I would get an i7 in case I need to run a once-in-while resource-hogging app but you have a point there's no need to waste the watts if I don't have to. Also, not being able to run Win11 will mostly kill my future ability to run most of those types of apps. It's something to think about.
Sure, that's not the point of what you said but it's the premise.

> We poured similarly large amounts of resources into hundreds of companies in the dotcom boom, crypto, and so on.

I don't agree with your ostensible implicit assumption that in this iteration of this cycle a) the economic and social costs are not consequential enough to care, (e.g. the social impact of how much easier scamming people is with these extremely capable base models,) b) the costs are comparable to those other things, (e.g. Goldman Sachs says we're looking at a 160% increase in data center energy usage driven by AI) and c) ignoring it will have the same negligible consequences that ignoring those other things did.
After I posted the item I realized that there was no link and it's one of those "email us for access to the data" deals. Which I think is a mistake on their part. Nevertheless this is a great project and I wish there was more of this kind of work out there.

Ok, consider this for a second. You're a director of a hospital that owns a Therac radiotherapy machine for treating cancer. The machine is without any shadow of a doubt saving lives. People without access to it would die or have their prognosis worsen. Yet one day you get a report saying that the machine might sometimes, extremely rarely, accidentally deliver a lethal dose of radiation instead of the therapeutic one.

Do you decide to keep using the machine, or do you order it turned off until that defect can be fixed? Why yes or why not? Why does the same argument apply/not apply in the discussion about self driving cars?

(And in case you haven't heard about it - the Therac radiotherapy machine fault was a real thing, it's being used as a cautionary tell for software development but I sometimes wonder if it should be used in philosophy classes too)
You're nearly correct, actually. In addition to security, SAF was supposed to provide a consistent interface to access files from various sources, including network sources, not just the local filesystem. Unfortunately the implementation just kind of sucks.
Subtitling: half clocked means not fully prepared
Because it's an incredibly complex mess that will allow sandbox escape if it isn't implemented exactly right.

Also, it's still in draft status. Not that that means much.
On the "information" part, I'm not sure that's correct, have you seen the papers that dispute the Bayesian versions of thermodynamics?

I think practically though, even before you hit anything "quantum", the requirement that you physically interact with the system is what dooms you.

If something is arguable, it's not concrete. We have concrete moral systems. That's why we teach it to our kids. Don't lie. Be fair. Be strong. Avoid violence. Defend the weak. Try your hardest. Don't be lazy. Etc.

None of these things are arguable in the abstract. When you're confronted with a case where you sacrifice one, it's always for the sake of another.

I don't think they've broken out O1 revenue, but it must be very small at the moment since it was only just introduced. Their O1-preview pricing doesn't seem to reflect the exponential compute cost, so perhaps it is not currently priced to be profitable. Overall, across all models and revenue streams, their revenue does exceed inference costs ($4B vs $2B), but they still are projected to lose $5B this year, $14B next year, and not make a profit until 2029 (and only then if they've increased revenue by 100x ...).

Training costs are killing them, and it's obviously not sustainable to keep spending more on research and training than the revenue generated. Training costs are expected to keep growing fast, while revenue per token in/out is plummeting - they need massive inference volume to turn this into a profitable business, and need to pray that this doesn't turn into a commodity business where they are not the low cost producer.

So my energy levels have declined noticeably from age 20 to 30. I thought it was mostly my own chronic health issues causing accelerated aging, but many of my friends are making similar complaints.

I did notice far before this point (e.g. age 10 to 20) that my patience for reading had gone down significantly. If I had to guess I'd say that in my case it's due to an underlying anxiety that started in early teens and never left me. Drowning it out seems to require something more stimulating than reading (on paper).

(Perhaps meditation or therapy (shadow integration?) would help here. I've certainly had glimpses of inner peace during times when I was meditating regularly. One insight from this time: "holy crap, I always thought I needed to struggle harder, but it turns out I just needed to learn how to relax...")

I can get through audiobooks but I can only consume them while traveling or doing chores. If I'm sitting down, the restlessness is too high and I can't concentrate on the book.

I also have ADHD and heard similar things from others with ADHD, so I'm not sure to what degree this translates to others.

Yeah and using byte buffers isn’t JavaScript array access. But it is for C.

Unfortunately the c++ version is simd optimized, so I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.
