Fair enough, it was for one year, my bad.

Here's for 20 years (at the bottom of the page):

> From 2000 to 2020, the world experienced a net change of -101 Mha (-2.4%) in tree cover.
No one is going to install a system that puts you in a life or death situation. Worst case is it uses resistive heating to deal with extreme cold. Systems like that are widespread and still save people money.
What is the bull case for a Cloud-based quantum computing offer? Are there really billions of dollars of workloads out there that have any realistic chance of migrating to IBM quantum tech within a decade? Two decades?

Surely there is going to be an enormous list of exemptions submitted and approved immediately.

My quick skim did not make this clear: is this for software only or would hardware appliances also count? Routers, modems, PLCs used in gas centrifuges, etc. are just as attractive for exploitation.

Thanks, somehow missed that with the search terms I used.
This specific problem is better solved by decomposing the logic into rules that tell when not to send a message. I refactored this diagram once that way, so it becomes absolutely straightforward.
A “boat buck” Is $1000. How much was the bottom paint? All up pretty cheap, 7 boat bucks.

Boats are just holes in the water that your throw money into.
I think all OP was getting at is that they miss when the internet was fun. Nowadays everything is either serious business or a cynical grift. Or both.

For me, Stealth Mountain is a much more whimsical form of art than the diarrhea taco stand. But there are plenty of uncomfortable works out there that firmly fall within the category of art. I’ve seen a literal shit machine at a gallery [0], and it would only take a few seconds of searching to find dozens of performance art works to make one uncomfortable.

While it may eventually be a non-gimmick in the industry as the compute needed for it advances more it's always going to be quite the gimmick in terms of what the M1/M2 GPU can do with it.
I have deployed close to 30 mikrotiks mostly outdoors and the hardware is robust. The software, like a lot of software, was a moving target. Features like some site to site VPN would stop working after upgrading routerOS, but once it was working and don’t change anything it was good to go.

Google is trying to beat potential competitors to the punch. They hold the search market, but if people start querying AI instead of searching they need a product in that space of they'll lose their lead.

I just got back from a job where my tech used AI on his phone every time he needed to search for something. The results were hilariously bad, but if things keep improving one day they might not be. Google needs to be ready for that.

Huawei got entity listed for selling to Iran (which Nokia and many other western companies does as well). There has never been any evidence proving Huawei espionage activity, which it can obviously be used for. Only Huawei gear has enabled foreign govs to undermine US espionage / influence efforts, iirc Huawei tech helping some african country using lawful intercept technologies to bust US aligned activists.
Where did you come up with “ security through obscurity ” in that previous commment? It said nothing about using an obscurity measure. He was talking about hardware based privacy features.
What you describe in your last paragraph is still an evolution, not an extinction or disappearance. Fan/stan culture is absolutely huge on social media, where it has thrived, with single-person-ran stan accounts becoming as big or bigger than the heyday of blogging or fansites. So I just think we disagree on some foundational level.
Growth, no, but they need a consistent revenue stream and if they don't shift focus away from their open source aspects to their paying customers, then their market share will be stolen by the companies that do and they'll lose their revenue stream
I wonder how this will work on Windows Workstation hosts?
I was thinking due to modified code and copyleft/GPL it could force copyleft on Workstation, but I may have misunderstood how it works.
Can we please be responsible professionals and move past this. This was settled many years ago.
We could transition to an open access economy, with universal basic services (instead of monetary income), open source products and federated and trade-free coordination of resource flows. We could liberate ourselves from the compulsory race of competition and its manifold symptoms.. no time pressure, no low-quality products and we could become friends with the machines to avoid (ani)matrix-like escalation..
Nope, AI is dog shit at code
Well, WordPress made it 20+ years without a huge fuss over the fact that everything was controlled by Matt. And it only happened now because Matt himself blew things up!

Ghost has been lucky that their own conflict of interest hasn't been an issue: The cofounders don't own anything, but they still have complete control on the nonprofit. It sounds like John O'Nolan is trying to take pre-emptive steps to prevent WordPress drama in Ghost.
You must have had incredible luck to never have made a mistake, even ones you didn't realize you made.
Relativity;

If corporate income taxes are 21%, income is reduced by expenses such as property taxes.

If individual income tax rates are 24%/32%; and a state has a low income tax rate of 5%; then a married couple making $200k earned income, then a salt cap at $10k, pays 25% more in property taxes than the corporation.

So, even if the state and local taxes are massaged to give owners a 25% discount for being owner occupied; they don't.

The idea is not the the state/city needs less services; owner occupied properties often want more services and are willing to pay for it; but now the city can no longer create policy that supports that.
It’s a rat race. They keep pacing each other, and it feels like each of them takes over the other one for a few months.

I thought that Google Search Console had tools to test robots.txt and sitemap.xml files, but it has been a while since I have needed to do that.

For those wondering why favicon is in a directory, nowadays there are half a dozen different favicon files for different devices in different situations and there are online tools such as The Real Favicon Generator that will take a source image and make the variants for you. These come with a code snippet for head and the option to use a sub directory so that you don't clutter the root.

Maybe they should offer a robots.txt snippet too.

Fun fact, for a single page, you can base64 encode the favicon and shove it in the page, thereby not needing a separate file. Why would you want to do that? If you base64 encode all the images and add the scripts and stylesheets in, then you can have a HTML page that you don't have to upload, you can email it to someone. This is useful if wanting to share a design mockup.
Wouldn't that violate GPL?
But those rules of thumb worked, mostly.
I criticized the content (saying it wasn't a "test" and asking your definition of "test") and questioned the chosen medium (linking a youtube embed on a uncommon site that you seem to have an interest in marketing). You responded to neither in a substantive way.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
This is kind of cool, but rather than folding laundry I'd prefer to print my garment fresh each day and toss it in the recycler before bed. Make it so robots!
> the US is the primary enforcer of the world order

Nobody gave the US this legal power. It has no credibility there.

> everyone can trade with no fear of attacks on their shipping

Right now this is false around the area controlled by the Houthis.

> we don't steal each other's land any more

Israelis are stealing land with US support.
Phone number is the new cookie. Just about every company now requires users to provide phone number. It’s insane.
If I could make what I make in tech picking fruits I'd be tempted to switch to be honest. At least for awhile. I'm sick of sitting in a chair.
It seems quite possible he meant either.

Supporters, supporter’s or supporters’.

They all sound exactly the same, so I don’t see how either transcription can be claimed to be more faithful.
I think the really big difference with software is that software is much more likely to be used in unexpected ways where vulnerabilities that weren't important at time of original design end up exposed on the internet for exploitation by everyone.
I think that argument had more merit back when C++ was a much simpler language.

I've been programming in C++ since 1991, and the language / standard library are now so complex that it's hard to be 100% confident that I understand the meaning of any non-trivial code.
I am... genuinely curious if this is a viable method for free fuel.

Less so with non-profits, more for things like catalogs, free magazine things, etc.

Like can you power a "wood" stove with enough dense paper? And if you're getting 100 heavy catalogs a day, will the USPS keep delivering them?

Or is there some kind of practical limit that the USPS won't do residential delivery of commercial mail beyond a certain daily amount?

Surely there's some reason you can't heat your house this way.
Oof significantly worse
I couldn't agree more. Neither LLMs or search engines yield reliable answers due to the ML model and misaligned incentives respectively. Combining the two is a shortsighted solution that doesn't fix anything on a fundamental level. On top of that we have the feedback loop. LLMs are used to search the web and write the web, so they'll just end up reading their own (unreliable) output over time.

What we need is an easier way to verify sources and their trustworthiness. I don't want an answer according to SEO spam. I want to form my own opinion based on a range of trustworthy sources or opinions of people I trust.
Oh, never mind lol
It's all built on advertising revenue. The blogs & their rise and fall - all based on ad revenues that Google created as they perverted the Internet to make everything content a platform for the advertising - all with the willing and complicit support of the bloggers and content creators.

I don't see advertising on the Internet so I don't really understand the value. Some people use Google to access the Internet apparently... they see lots of ads.
It looks like they are upstreaming the kernel side changes, I don't see why the usermode side couldn't be proprietary?
Yes the size is much reduced, and you do have reduced quality as a result, but it isn't as bad as what you're implying. Just a few days ago Meta released q4 versions of their llama models. It's an active research topic.
Only if Hyper-V is enabled and/or WSL2 is installed. And Hyper-V is a prerequisite for WSL2.

If hyper-V is not enabled, then you’re running on metal.

You may notice a longer than normal reboot time when enabling or disabling Hyper-V compared to a normal reboot, and this is why; you’re moving from running on silicon to running in a privileged management VM or vice versa.
Google search is completely broken IMO. I stopped using Google search years ago and every time I go back on the off chance that it's bigger index has something that DuckDuckGo couldn't find for me.

Image search isn't great either but it still often gives me something close and that usually satisfies my image searching needs.

I still find YouTube recommendations quite good for me, but there are occasional ones I've watched already. I still go down its fun (and educational!) rabbit holes all the time.
Hey there, you swapped the totals. It means you are more expensive than Aws @dev_raza
Or for someone with similar experiences to describe what's really going on.
I didn’t even realise these existed. Living in the UK, I’ve never received a single unsolicited text message from a political party or any kind of campaign. I wonder why there’s such a difference…
My first order ignorant analysis is this feels like something done to make people dislike higher tax or progressive states. It increases the indigestion/frustration with taxes & the state. Makes the payments compound.

But I'm also willing to admit there may be some very solid policy reasons why this is a good idea. I have tried to imagine some, but no luck so far!

What kind of impact did making SALT tax no longer deductable have on the federal government? Did this change the budget noticeably?
I would really love to see some kind of PoC of running fully in cash a program. Having 104mb of you can run some performance critical stuff entirely from cash.
Bottom paint is about $250/gal. It takes us about half a day to sand the hull and roll on a layer. My 40' sailboat can be covered with 1 generous coat with 1gal with a little left over. $7k for bottom paint must either be a huge boat, an expensive crew, or both. It's just not all that expensive if you're willing to put in a little effort.
That is bloody weird.
Thoughts on Getting Frustrated While Learning
Can you brute force a BIOS password without prolonged physical access?

The leak does increase the risk of a single trusted insider messing with the system, though.
I tried nand2tetris and my hardware class was one I did best in in college. Yet I found this class and book to be very much "rest of the Fine owl" and I had to refer back to my college textbooks and even my tests to do the assignments. I gave up about halfway through as you had to complete more or less the main part of the CPU. I felt the lectures and text were lacking to say the least. Maybe in the age of the internet (I graduated a bit over 20 years ago) this is the norm these days but I expected the course and text to be more or less self contained.
FWIW, ChatGPT Search didn't surface the video either with that query

> Based on the elements you’ve described—eyes, a pineapple, a bucket of water, a house of cards, chess, and a time loop—it’s challenging to identify a single music video that encompasses all these features.
Yes, relatively, the lever that municipalities had to encourage owner occupied properties (a homestead exemption) is taken away for upper middle class (especially if a married couple each has a tech salary, and if the state has even a low income tax rate)

Therefore, it becomes beneficial for the (even the same individuals) to invest in corporations that rent out real estate; and removes the ability for the city to use homestead exemptions to help discriminate to encourage owner occupied units.

So you get higher home prices/rents with fewer owner occupied properties, with less incentive for community investment (including property taxes), and fewer levers for the state/municipality to pull.
Before clicking the link or seeing the domain, I was expecting either a rehashed (or if I was optimistic: a novel) argument for why what LE does isn’t actually validating domains. Philosophically or technically. For example: they don’t validate you’re going to the domain you intend on visiting. And 500 words on why that makes them useless. (I don’t agree, but that’s what I was expecting)

It costs the Internet Archive $2/GB to store a blob of data in perpetuity, their budget for the entire org is ~$37M/year. I don't disagree that people and systems need to be paid, but the costs are not untenable. We have Patreon, we have subscriptions to your run of the mill media outlets (NY Times, Economist, WSJ, Vox, etc), the primitives exist.

The web needs patrons, contributions, and cost allocation, not necessarily monetization and shareholder capitalism where there is a never ending shuffle of IP and org ownership to maximize returns (unnecessarily imho). How many times was Reddit flipped until its current CEO juiced it for IPO and profitability? Now it is a curated forum for ML training.

I (as well as many other consumers of this content) donate to APM Marketplace [1] because we can afford it and want it to continue. This is, in fits and starts, the way imho. We piece together the means to deliver disenshittification (aggregating small donations, large donations, grants, etc).

(Tangentially, APM Marketplace has recently covered food stores [2] and childcare centers [3] that have incorporated as non profits because a for profit model simply will not succeed; food for thought at a meta level as we discuss economic sustainability and how to deliver outcomes in non conventional ways)

I too bought a 2020 MBA M1, it was great initially, but now seems like its getting throttled, same goes with my iPhoneX, I used to love Apple, but its just pathetic that they throttle older devices just to get users to upgrade.
That definitely helps, thanks.
Final Conclusions on Crash of F-35B That Flew Without a Pilot for 64 Miles
I had high hopes, but it's obviously designed for less paranoid consumers since executing the verb "plan" is all "ya, fam, but I'm gonna need to be root to tell you what I'm gonna do"

`lix-installer` needs to run as `root`, attempting to escalate now via `sudo`...
TRACE execute:execute: lix_installer::cli: Execvp'ing `"sudo"` with args `["sudo", "env", "SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash", "./lix-installer", "-vvvv", "--logger=full", "plan"]`

The Jurassic Park novel had some of the best depictions of technical failures like that, IMO. The scene where they realize they've been running on backup power and everything goes down is another good one. I won't call them realistic per se, but they just felt right. Andromeda Strain, another Crichton work, was also pretty good at this.
Yes that is exactly the kind of use case the previous iMac shined at.
Which is why I think it's bonkers they want people to put so much money into their standalone display, it's way too steep for the use case and you don't need that much performance making the lack of all-in-one annoying.

Isn't the 2K Mac Mini a bit lackluster though? It's Mac Studio price territory, you get a lot more for 2K. Then again, they need to refresh it, so if you need something now, sure...

You can convert your old iMac into a display with a controller board if you want to keep it. It would cost about 300 but you get a great display, and those old iMacs don't sell for much anyway.
And yet US Treasury bonds are the gold standard for bonds.

Besides, if the theory of inverse correlation or no correlation between bonds and stocks (read: the economy) holds, it's arguably a good thing bonds in relative terms aren't doing too hot right now.
This is such a bad example: the yandex results have 3,4 with "russian" in the title and in general the same "msm" article list

Actually the case that Lynch won was the US vs. Lynch criminal case. HP won their civil case against Lynch years ago (~$4 billion). The deal overall was a colossal failure by HP. The fraud was merely icing on the cake. "HP lost more than $30 billion in market capitalization during Apotheker's tenure, and on September 22, 2011, the HP Board of Directors fired him as chief executive and replaced him with fellow board member and former eBay chief Meg Whitman, with Raymond J. Lane as executive chairman. Although Apotheker served barely ten months, he received over $13 million in compensation." The Autonomy leftovers was eventually sold to OpenText. Also the previous HP CEO (Mark Hurd) went to work for Larry Ellison. He had the highest bonus for any CEO in 2008.
That is an example of the kind of hardware and software synergy that gives good performance on Apple Silicon for apps in iOS and Mac OS. Apple execs have given interviews where they talk about this kind of thing. They look at code in the OS and in their application libraries that can benefit from hardware optimization and they build in hardware support for it to improve performance overall. This helps all kinds of app running on the OS and using the standard libraries.
I unsubscribed from the entirety of the Republican party. Their batshit crazy scam spam stopped for a day and then resumed in full force.

Constant spam begging for money from every looney congress critter you can name. Unbelievable.
Are you idiotic?
I can play the game too.
That’s true - it’s not in proportion.

But how do you punish this without making it even worse in some other way?

Much of the current situation stems from fairness-minded regulations forcing companies to post jobs they already have a candidate for, wasting everybody’s time.
What would the incentives be to provide all of that other than to curb the eventual chaos?
Virtualization (Hyper-V) can also be enabled, without enabling the Hyper-V Manager or WSL2 Windows Components, if the "Core Isolation" security setting is enabled.
How much will this matter to (somewhat graphics demanding) end users? I'm somewhat eagerly awaiting swapping out my M1 Studio with the M4 Studio that is all but confirmed to be coming at some point next year... More GPU grunt would certainly make me happy. Even the M1 is a far more competent gaming machine than I expected but I came from an i9/3080 machine so, well, more is more, as long as they can keep it near silent and relatively cool running.

You should have positive righting moment with the keel up and sails rigged, otherwise it's totally unsafe. When you're sailing downwind you have the keel up for speed. If you get knocked down in this situation--a broach, for instance--the boat needs to be able to right itself otherwise you probably die. This boat sank when it got knocked down, and it doesn't seem the keel had anything to do with it.
