A week ago Alejandro Arcos was decapitated right after he took office as mayor of the city of Chilpancingo, a city of around 280,000 people.

Some approximate stats:

Mexico has 45,000~ murders a year. The United States has about 25k a year.

The population of Mexico is 130m. The population of the US is 350m.

One can't derive the distribution of motivations that bring immigrants from these statistics. That said, I'd call that an alarming about of horrific violence. It's safe to say it's not evenly distributed over the whole of Mexico. It's easy to imagine being motivated to move by those statistics/events.

Like everything, it's probably a spectrum of motivations. More opportunities, better schools, fewer decapitations?
Rightly so.

The M processor really did completely eliminate all sense of “lag” for basic computing (web browsing, restarting your computer, etc). Everything happens nearly instantly, even on the first generation M1 processor. The experience of “waiting for something to load” went away.

Not to mention these machines easily last 5-10 years.
I tried it on this image of a gravestone [1], saved the low res version from the google image search results page, and it's obvious which parts it's recognized and which parts it hasn't. It did great on the flowers, but made the gravestone and the grass worse.

Cargo planes require dedicated airports and runways and all that jazz, whereas the selling point of cargo airships seems to be to not need any of that; the article depicts one such airship handling a shipping container directly at a warehouse, for example. The need to go through some sort of customs process complicates things, but being able to put customs checkpoints further inland (closer to the end-destination) seems like it'd be appealing.

My concern is around the space an airship takes up; coordinating traffic for maximum throughput is going to be a nightmare.
Vendor lock-in and DRM doesn't bode with my definition of consumer friendly, personally.
There's no reason to believe that the hashed and timestamped content was hosted at a particular domain, however (unless the content was signed by the author of course, then there's no Blockchain necessary). sure multiple peers could make some attestation that they saw it at that URL, but then you're back at square one of the reputation problem

The French always had a soft spot for the Modernist style of Le Corbusier. The linked property doesnt seem too far from a Villa Savoye or the Roche Jeanneret residence.

Unfortunately, the truth of both those places, and in fact all the strict Modernist/Brutalist buildings of the postwar period, is that rain absolutely f*ks them over. No amount of tar paper, roofing tile, etc., can help against a flat roof, frequent precipitation, and a temperature climate.
When someone goes unhinged and starts a mail bombing campaign and then threatens to kill more people if newspapers don't print his unhinged rambling manifesto then yes I think it's very important that every mention of him be paired with understanding of the lives he ended.

When receiving a credible support of a customer who is in every functional jurisdiction a criminal attacking the public they should act against that customer without a court case. They should block them from their service and forward the information they have available to the relevant authorities in jurisdictions which may be positioned to act against the user.

Nobody has any expectation of privacy in their crimes.
This is incorrect to my knowledge. The free pass to spam political email was an explicit carve out in the can spam act, which lets them not comply with the same regulations everyone else has to. What you’re talking about is something much more recent, about what Google does on the receiving side of email with their spam filters. That was about Google’s compliance with an order from the federal election commission because their spam filters had biases that act like campaign financing. Google’s solution had bipartisan support among the commissioners as I recall.

There is only one way to delete data on github permanently and that's to request it from github support. Still, you would have better luck just deleting your repository and starting over from scratch, deleting your history locally and pushing from a pristine state.
Gotta give those F-22s target practice to keep their bloodlust sated. Otherwise they start snacking on commercial traffic and that can get real awkward real fast.

Can help routing induced latency as the other comment says (or force a new route if having downstream issues with your ISP peering), and some games in the past could leak IPs especially if using a p2p model and a VPN can mitigate that (especially one that only routes traffic for the game).

IIRC you also need one when playing from some countries, whether due to legal reasons or server restrictions.
The point is you aren't bending the light, no the light is travelling straight.

The problem is that voter registration information is public, or at least available to the campaigns, and campaigns in general seem to increasingly abuse the information. I've received far too many political advertisements this year. I've only gotten mailers and text messages, all unsolicited of course. I don't think I put my email address on my voter registration (thankfully!). I have heard that voting early stops the ads if that is an option for you.

Eh it's probably not enforceable so long as you did something reasonable— sent a letter, sent an email and then stopped payment.

Taken to absurdity they can't make you lick your elbow in order to cancel and making you jump through arbitrary hoops when an email to their support is perfectly sufficient probably falls on your side.

The other people on the boat don't have a duty to cater to you. You can't just threaten to sink it if the primaries don't go your way. If you fail to find allies and fix the primaries, you still have a duty to keep the boat (ie. planet Earth) afloat.

Making sinking threats is just what the Martians want. And you still haven't even proven you're not just a Martian in disguise.
Sorry but this is a bad take. The active light on "screens" is stimulating, causes eye strain and keeps you awake. The two technologies are not the same.
So, it really doesn’t prevent phishing. If you can get someone to give you their password, you can probably get them to click approve. The real benefit is to the service provider, not having to worry about leaking a secret if they get compromised.
Most startups fail, that's a fact. The best way to evaluate stock options is to treat them as a bonus to a fair competitive salary for the position you are applying to get. Think of the options as the bonus you get for taking the risk of working at a startup. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you're going to get rich so you decide to accept a lower salary.

Ha ha, you mean paying for the game and holding your Steam account as collateral?
I don't know what's out there that's similar to citizen, honestly. I didn't set out to create competition for existing frameworks; I just built the stuff I found useful for my own projects and think it's finally at a point where others might find it useful also.

Basically, I wasn't a fan of what was available 10 years ago, so I built what I needed and didn't pay much attention to what others were doing.

One of my fears in sharing it widely was getting a response like, "You're about 5 years late, frameworks X, Y, and Z do all these things already." But based on some of the comments, it seems like citizen offers something that others don't.

What I like about citizen is that it provides enough structure to get started, keep my code organized, and focus on what I'm building as opposed to how, while remaining flexible and hands-on enough for me to feel like I'm actually writing code and not just gluing together everybody else's code.
The RTX 4080 should be capable of ~40 TFLOPS, yet they only report 2,160 billion operations per second. Shouldn't this be enough to reconsider the benchmark?
They probably made some serious error in measuring FLOPS.
Regarding the fact that CPU beats NPU is possible but they should benchmark many matrix multiplications without any application synchronization in order to have a decent comparison.
Most likely, yeah. This also reminds me of the issues with KakaoTalk:

I think the fact that they don't tell you the fee upfront is mischevious enough.

> or need to pay more attention.

This is such a common and pointless argument. Here's the thing -- people don't pay attention to everything because who's got the energy for that. Companies know and capitalize.

Why don't you start by telling drivers and pedestrians to start paying attention when they drive on roads. When you've slashed car accident and casualty numbers in half, you can come back and tell us how asking people to pay more attention solves everything :)

ETH doesn't scale. This is not surprising or new. Then they use secondary chains to batch transactions so they can backup on chain less often.

What seems to be new here is that these secondary chains that already exist are getting integrated into ETH while still being a separate chain.

So after reinventing a database they are implementing sharding on top of it which to me seems like trailing already walked paths that will guide you nowhere new.

The result is a less flexible and more complex system that attenuates but doesn't solve the scaling issue.
They killed the oasis today, sad day.
Good AI Resources?
I'm looking to deepen my knowledge of AI and machine learning, and I'm curious to know what resources others in the community recommend.

What books, courses, podcasts, and online communities have you found most valuable in staying up-to-date with the latest developments in AI?

I'm interested in hearing about both theoretical and practical resources. I may share them with back office team too. Thanks for your help!
My son and I listen to DMR and P25 all the time, and we listened to a bunch of the samples of Codec2 vs AMBE. And while it might be a slight improvement, it doesn't move the needle enough to really excite. Perhaps a longer QSO would be more exciting to hear the difference on. Wouldn't hardware be a constratint just like it is with M17?
There was an interview somewhat recently where someone asked his connection to Israel's military, and he squirmed and rapidly stuttered in sheer terror for about 15 seconds before he finally put together a sentence where he said something like "I'm not allowed to criticize Israel." It was weird seeing one of the richest men on earth suddenly have absolute fear in his eyes and talking like he had a gun to his back.

Twitter has since had the videos wiped, but I'm sure they're still out there somewhere. I've seen other people like Zuckerberg dodge questions, but I've never seen a man with such wealth and power suddenly become so completely terrified.

I remember a paper that said optimal weight to reduce mortality is just below overweight. slightly overweight people were living as long as "normal" weight people and being very low "healthy" weight really wasn't that great.

I don't know what they based "normal" bmi weight on, but it's not by setting the middle of the range to max longevity.

Sure but that $50 app works in perpetuity. Back when I did uni IT one of my professors was still using their ~20 year old version of WordPerfect. I still have a copy of Office 2003 that works. They can pry my Adobe CS6 license from my cold dead hands.

So I think you're right it's App Stores but for the reason that they force indefinite maintenance on developers.

add some latency to the first token and then "stream" at the rate you received tokens even though the entire thing (or some sizable chunk) has been generated. that'll give you the buffer you need to seem fast while also staying safe.

tl;dw because couldn't be bothered. OTOH long ago I came up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz on my own, and he smells like a typical tool.

Furthermore this whole 'reborn-again-christian' thing. Also where did he get his fluency in mandarin? Rather ridiculous, if you know where else to look.
> It’s the progressives who took over the vanguard of the Dem party that espouse the position of open borders

There are no federally elected democrats who espouse the position of open borders. None. Zero. Every single member of the democratic party in office today in federal office supports some degree of border control, and frankly the degree that they want is not worlds apart from what most republicans want.

The GOP has successfully planted the idea that they are for a wall that lets no one through and the dems will let everyone in, but it's much more like two sides bickering over whether the wall should be 10m or 15m tall, whether or not there should be razors at the top, and exactly how many palantir/anduril terminators should be purchased for intercepting people, 1000 or 1200.
Indeed, their trademark hopping is actually only really when stressed/startled.

Many of the animal sanctuaries in zoos in Australia actually have little signs telling visitors not to be disappointed if they don't see the animals actually hopping: "Laying down and sunbathing, and the slow walk with their tail is a sign of relaxation and a lack of stress on the animal."

From what I can tell, ChatGPT appears to be doing "optimistic" streaming... It will start streaming the response to the user but may eventually hide the response if it trips some censorship filter. The user can theoretically capture the response from the network since the censorship is essentially done client-side but I guess they consider that good enough.

> This is how any other peer-to-peer network (eg. BitTorrent) works too, so surely we could make blockchains work the same way

> For many years, it has been common for some high-performance chains to claim that they solve the trilemma without doing anything clever at a fundamental architecture level, typically by using software engineering tricks to optimize the node. This is always misleading, and running a node in such chains always ends up far more difficult than in Ethereum.

Not saying you're wrong, but I think if you disagree with a 5k+ word article full of careful technical explanations and diagrams (I am not an expert on Ethereum and really appreciated how the author explained things in a way that taught me stuff) then you need to put in a bit more effort than just naming the challenges again.

Western spy agencies already overwhelmed by volume of PRC cyber activity per recent headlines, meanwhile FVEY also short of Chinese specialists, and institutions not generating enough language talent. It's less budget issue as bodies issue. Multiple adversarial parties who are still likely cooperating with intelligence - MSS isn't going to get a seat at the table/behind the scenes for western crypto standards.

Do we really know system hasn't been attacked without success when there's frequent PRC penetration in the news. What we do know is west/US has advtanges along the hardware/software stack, so smart for PRC to obfusgate and add complexity at points they can control. And that one of OTF's explicit mission, especially ICFP funded fellows is to undermine PRC controlled web - it would be incredibly dumb for PRC to take their advice seriously.

Reputation matters.

On some Japanese BBSes, spammers tend to use non-Japanese IPs or data center IPs. A good chunk of the spam goes away by blocking non-Japan IPs (easy to do with BGP data) and disallowing data center IPs (these often host VPNs, scrapers, etc.) from posting.

Posting from overseas thus costs money or is not possible. The trade-off is 1-100 extra users or significantly reduced spam for little effort. It's not surprising that most website operators choose the latter.

I also know of a file uploader that recently had to block overseas IPs due to such IPs repeatedly uploading illegal content. This is an example of a few bad actors ruining things for everyone.
