Why would you want to be in a trade war, yet alone with the whole world? The US has many friends, there's more than just China.

Also, you suggest that a trade war is bad, because you might no longer be able to buy stuff from other people. But then you suggest that the right way to prepare for a trade war is to pretend that you are already in one, ie do to yourself what the enemy would want to do to you in a trade war? (That being limiting your ability to buy from the rest of the world?)
Just a note, CPLDs (and the more modern replacements, FPGAs) are kind of the opposite of ASICs by definition.

They are obviously ICs, but being programmable they’re general purpose, not application specific (the AS in ASIC).
Of course this is true, and the observation is underpowered. However, on election night it wasn’t just about being right it was about digesting information in real time and promulgating information faster. For example, polymarket had trump at like 99% likelihood of winning when the networks were still playing “horse race”.
> I don't get it. Why is it bad wanting to see the unsafe version for yourself?

Because, as shown in Japan and called out in TFA, even those without a history of seizures can have them. These can be bad enough, even in those with no history of seizures, to warrant a visit to the ER.
This is interesting. We are two years into this experiment, and this is the worst that they'll be. They're only going to get better. The bottom line is that they're still non-human. I don't see it as a nice feature unless you want to be alone somewhere with your computer talking to you. That's an ugly future.
> My question is, "where does the requirement that content be licensed in only one country" contractually originate?

Typically between the original rightsholder and distributors.

Let's say you're an american film maker and you make a film. You'll need a distribution company, and that company will want exclusive rights to distribute. But, the best US distributors might not do a good job overseas, so maybe you can give them US/CA rights and find a different distributor in Europe. Now, in Europe, you probably need a different distributor for UK/IE vs contintental Europe where they'll need to handle subtitling and whatnots.

This is needed to get films into cinemas. But the distributors are also involved with films on disc and films on streaming services. And the territorialism follows there too.
Public perception of what it means to be convicted has shifted with this election. Thiel of all people wouldn’t care if he is doing business with someone who is convicted, as long as they continue to make him money and push whatever agenda Thiel has.
But it's not like there was an ad-powered version of cable that you paid to get out of. The entire point of premium is to not see ads, why would anyone still pay for premium if it had ads?

Or is it like the free users see 40min/hour ads and the premium users see 20min/hour? But then why wouldn't they just let me pay extra to see 0min/hour? Like that's what Prime Video did. It ended up just being a price increase in their case.

> the most valuable customers are those that will pay not to see ads

Yes like me, but the point is, I would always be willing to pay them more not to see ads than they would've ever made from me watching the ads in the first place.
> Not when the domestic companies which manufacture the same product wither as a result.

That's not how economics works.
I watched it recently, interesting film for sure. In his Cape Era.
Polymarket had each state at above 95% likelihood of trump well ahead of the networks suggesting he was winning each state. It’s not just calling winner, it’s ingesting information faster
It took me a moment to put this together too, so to be clearer - the wireguard endpoint is in docker, so you're adding the docker bridge to your vpn. So DNS is handled by docker, just as containers can already address each other by name - you're on the container network with them.

> Well, isn't it a good thing that they can help fight climate change without being altruistic? The entire western capitalist model is based on the premise that capitalism is good because people can help improve society through selfish means. Altruism doesn't scale. It's best when incentives are aligned.

Yes, that's why you should let people buy cheap Chinese goods.

> The problem isn't with keeping Chinese cars out through tariffs. It's keeping them out, and at the same time not stimulating domestic green energy development enough.

Didn't you just say capitalism was good, and now you argue the opposite?
Damn, if only some one, some where, at some point, had mentioned that there's no such thing as a secure backdoor to encryption. Oh well, maybe such events are impossible to predict.

The new Attorney General just said that if the FBI doesn't now begin to serve the interest of the american people, he'd get rid of the FBI altogether.

So using the FBI for political targeting may very well soon.

I don't understand the complaint. The article says:

> More specifically, the CPC takes issue with the fact that Apple restricts user accounts – or Apple IDs – to being able to access storefronts, pay for products or download apps only from the country where an account is registered – a practice "which is not allowed under EU's anti-geo-blocking rules." The EC noted that this creates problems when EU citizens travel to different countries in the bloc, and noted that Apple customers "face significant challenges" when attempting to change their country of registration.

Is this about app availability? I doubt it, aren't most developers going to make their app available Europe-wide? Why would you care that you can't get the Italian app "storefront" because you're French? And if a developer makes something Italy-only, isn't that their choice?

Or is this about media purchases? Which doesn't have anything to do with Apple, but rather with content licenses.

Because this article doesn't provide even a single concrete example of what it's talking about, so it's hard to figure out what the complaint even is.
Nixon is the typical example of somebody pardon'd without an indictment. Like it would be wise to imply it could happen because it has!

There are a other trivial examples. Confederate solders weren't indicted [1]. The Vietnam draft dodging pardons didn't even name people [2] [3].

Why they would do it? I mean to nullify the 5th amendment right. Maybe you want to prosecute a crime boss so you give somebody a pardon (or immunity) so they can't/don't plead the 5th and have to testify against them.

The distinction between ad and opinion in that example is very strong and extremely clear. The fact that you think it's a blurry distinction is... exactly what the study is arguing.

> And based on the overall "vibe" I get from the study it seems like they were set out to prove this and not do a fair study on the topic.

I would caution against arbitrarily discounting information because you don't like its "vibe." Even if the vibe is off or unfair, it turns out good information can come from unfriendly sources.

> But if someone has already hit the human-level threshold

There is some controversy over what the human-level threshold is. A recent and very extensive study measured just 60.2% using Amazon Mechanical Turkers, for the same setup [1].

But the Turkers had no prior experience with the dataset, and were only given 5 tasks each.

Regardless, I believe ARC-AGI should aim for a higher threshold than what average humans achieve, because the ultimate goal of AGI is to supplement or replace high-IQ experts (who tend to do very well on ARC)

Not rebooting after software upgrade is an oft repeated mistake.
I'm one of those people that doesn't like polluting his brain with a ton of keyboard shortcuts and likes clicking with a mouse on stuff and is just more efficient with it. I've seen video clips of "efficient" terminal text editor use, and while it looks cool in a hacker way, it just isn't any faster than what I do without all of the overhead of memorizing a ton of keyboard shortcuts and editor commands.

I would definitely much rather install VSCode or an IntelliJ product on a Jr's machine, show them how to setup their terminal, get their dev environment setup, how to run and debug the app, and off they go. Edit code. Run code. Debug code. Rinse repeat.

Much more reasonable and preferable to having them spend months learning Emacs. Let's remember, they likely don't know how to use the terminal either these days.
I'm glad you figured out that the graph is a model, and like any good model, it picks some characteristics of reality to keep and many to leave out.

Have a look at the example of a turnstile state machine on Wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Turnstile_state_mach...

The graph of that state machine suggests that you repeat the cycles indefinitely. But I have it on good authority that real world turnstiles only have a finite coin box. [citation needed] So there's some extra hidden state.
If they can curry favor with the incoming (extremely crypto friendly) administration, their problems with the FBI go away.

This kind of conspiratorial thinking dominates the Republican party and such a story would play well with the base. There is a clear motive for this approach - and it seems likely to work.
I loved Keras at the beginning of my PhD, 2017. But it was just the wrong abstraction: too easy to start with, too difficult to create custom things (e.g., custom loss function).

I really tried to understand TensorFlow, I managed to make a for-loop in a week. Nested for-loop proved to be impossible.

PyTorch was just perfect out of the box. I don't think I would have finished my PhD in time if it wasn't for PyTorch.

I loved Keras. It was an important milestone, and it made me believe deep learning is feasible. It was just...not the final thing.
Sorry, those are your examples? Besides the Nixon disaster (stop hiding behind that) and confederate soldiers, any other examples?
I will not be surprised if YouTube figures out a way to make content creators pay a portion of their sponsored content.
1) is like being mad that you payed for an ad-free ebay experience, but then you used it to buy some old magazines and there were ads in them.
Yeah I stand corrected. Video being one of the highest entropy types of data probably means they face state of the art throughput challenges. Which are inherently tied to cost and monetization.

That said, free apps like tiktok and youtube probably face higher throughput, so the user-pays model probably means netflix is at the state of the art at high volume quality (both app experience and content) rather than sheer volume low quality or premium quality low volume markets.

I mean serving millions of customers at 8 bucks per month. Which is not quite like serving billions.

This is both inspiring and terrifying at the same time.

That being said I usually prefer to do something the long and manual way, write the process down sometimes, and afterwards search for easier ways to do it. Of course this makes sense on a case by case basis depending on your personal context.

I don't think it's terribly wrong. It will generate the desired entries (internally) and proper reports, if you add the appropriate option (--forecast=... for hledger, something else for Ledger). Or you could use it once to generate permanent journal entries, in your main journal or a forecast journal:

hledger print --forecast='2024-11-01..+3 months' >>$LEDGER_FILE

Effective dates are another solution, but IMHO a misfeature, I mention this for newcomers:

I deleted my Twitter account when I drew the analogy of: imagine a magazine, that your friends can subscribe to, to read your thoughts. By contributing to this magazine you contribute to your friend's desire to "buy copies" of it, and you contribute to its ability to sell ads. I decided I didn't want to do that any more.

Maybe it's the same with the Guardian. Although when I left, Elmo hadn't bought it and it actually had legitimate businesses buying ad space.
> I guess people don't want to talk about that tho and prefer to rationalize Harris' loss.

You're doing it again...repeating the same mistake of implying that everyone that supports Trump is an idiot, rather than trying to understand what motivates them.

The same mistake the Democratic party keeps repeating.
That's true as the internet becomes more $ focused, companies become more interested in shoving messages (ads/propaganda) than letting users say anything). Even isp plans have asymmetric specs.

I'm honestly much more impressed by free apps like youtube and tiktok in terms of throughput, they have MUCH more traffic since users don't pay!
They absolutely have the ability to make exceptions for the critical people that they don't want to leave. I am aware of a few L7s that have permanent exceptions for WFH beyond the new year because of them being very critical to specific projects.

Or maybe Lue Elizondo doesn't actually know the top secret state of the art of technology made by every government in the world, and he's just talking out of his ass because he's a con man and a fraud, and currently trying to sell a book.

The man tried to pass off a picture of a chandelier as a UFO. He claims he fought terrorists using astral projection. He's connected to the bullshit circus that is Skinwalker Ranch. He's not credible.

This is always the game with these people. Everyone's talking about Corbell's "jellyfish UAP" video - which is obviously just bird shit on the lens - and how there's a second video showing it leaping in and out of the water that definitely exists but of course that the public can never see. It's always allegations, claims, speculations, and rare circumstantial evidence that nine times out of ten turns out to be bunk. What has David Grusch actually revealed, other than a rehash of existing UFO folklore, and things he's been told by other people? It's all smoke and mirrors and people keep falling for it because of media hype, their inherent mistrust in government, and because they want to believe.

If there is something at the center of this - I promise you, I guarantee you the people talking about aliens and "NHIs" and interdimensional beings don't know anything about it.
That's a way to either get me to cancel my paying subscription or opt-out of all form of ad personalization out of frustration. I respect the hussle and am paying you; respect my user experience.
Cool, but if only Apple could get their video thumbnails on macOS to use the same frame as their video thumbnails on iOS, it would be a huge step forward. Should not even be hard, no AI needed. It's absolutely nuts that this has been broken for so many years.
I never understood why landlord brokers are even a thing in a market like NYC. I live in SF and I've never heard of such a thing here, and we probably have a similar market when it comes to landlords getting to take advantage of high demand when it comes to listing visibility and negotiation.

Why do landlords think they need a broker in order to rent out their units in NYC? I would think demand is so high there that listings on all the regular-suspect listing sites would be more than sufficient to get their units rented quickly and at a price they're happy with.

No-fee listings seem to be a thing in NYC, but appear to be for a small minority of units.
Okay, what am I missing here? One bomb against the thousands that Russia has. What is one rudimentary bomb going to do besides making Ukraine a pariah of the world? The US would not be part of that.

RTO won't be effective because teams aren't located together any more.

During WFH, lots of reorgs happened that pushed together people in different locations into a single team, responsibilities were moved around, work was outsourced etc etc etc. Now RTO means coming into the office to spend the day in chime meetings with people in other offices. Just like during WFH, but with the time and expense of a commute.

Y—yes, though? I’m dead certain I’d be out the door over that. It’s a pretty common set of policies and that wouldn’t be considered a grey area, or even in sight of a grey area.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Us unAmericans in the rest of the world don't have any constitutional guarantees to save us from the US spooks (nor from each other), and you don't have any constitutional guarantees to save you from the rest of the world, either.

So the flimsy guarantees that would in theory save you from your own spooks are really just a drop in the bucket.

> But it's not like there was an ad-powered version of cable that you paid to get out of. The entire point of premium is to not see ads, why would anyone still pay for premium if it had ads?

that was the point of cable.

Regular TV over the airwaves was "free", supported by the ads, but you could pay cable providers for their "premium" channels that had no advertising.

Until they did. Just a few at first, but it went on from there, as these things always do.

edit: I didn't even notice the second part of your message:

> I would always be willing to pay them more not to see ads than they would've ever made from me watching the ads in the first place.

This plus infinite gullibility is the only reason why they have a business model. They will keep making it worse and worse and still raising the price forever, and it's only because people keep handing them more money whenever they ask.
> MAGA policies directly hurt some people

This is it.

Liberals aren't "offended" by Trump. Liberals don't have a problem with the "way he expresses himself." The problem is with his governance and policies that do real damage to people we care about.

The reason you don't see conservatives being similarly alarmed by liberal policies is because liberal policies don't hurt people.

To saying nothing of what he's done to American democracy. Before the election, there was plenty of hoopla about another stolen election. Then, when Trump won, suddenly that disappeared. What about the mailman carrying hundreds of ballots? Oh, I guess he's okay now. This exposes the hypocrisy at the core of Trump ideology: our election system is horribly broken except when Trump wins. That's not how democracy works and taking that attitude should be immediately disqualifying.
You say it like it's hard to get around the Great Firewall in either direction.
