You expectation perhaps. Not the expectation of the law. The DMCA is clear on what service providers have to do and Youtube regularly does much more than they need.

So you want to preemptively surrender moderation to them? Might as well let them try taking it down.

The lore theory is this: that there is a sort of trickster phenomenon at play whose goal is to subvert our understanding of the physical world, and to get us to start asking metaphysical questions about the nature of reality. Questions that can only be answered by "looking within".

This is called the control system hypothesis, coined by renowned ufologist Jacques Vallees: https://old.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/rn650p/a_lot_of_big_n...

I'm aware how crazy all of this sounds to the uninitiated. But I've studied the phenomenon from all angles. At this point the most parsimonious explanations trend towards the fantastical. Of course we can still be wrong, but as the OP says, as time comes and more events of this sort come to light, I think it will eventually lead to the inescapable conclusion that the world and our place in it may not be as it seems.
Smartphone cameras are absolutely useless when it comes to taking useful pictures of distant, moving objects. Even a proper DSLR is extremely difficult to use on a moving object at night due to focus issues.

Are commentors even reading the article or just bitching about how GPT-2 sucks or pedantry of LoC metrics?

Look at this article a different way. The author put a lot of information in a small context window so that it easier for readers to understand transformers. They included a useful code highlighter to ground it.

To soooo many people, even those with strong math/science, GPT is magic. This article opens the spell book, lays it out as a computation graph with all the fixing’s. The code isn’t abominable especially when paired with the prose.

It is a good piece of education and I will also call it art.

No. You can only reduce a timeline to the point where it cant be effectively reached. A timeline that is guaranteed to be missed is no longer a timeline. It's an arbitrary point in time with no real meaning in relation to the work at hand.

Most modern amateur rigs are now SDR based.
The big brands (YAESU, ICOM etc) seem to lean into SDR as QOL improvements (large bandwidth real time spectrum analysers to see what's going on across the whole band, Digital Noise Réduction that really works, etc), while preserving the heavily appreciated look and feel of a classic rig.

The Chinese SDR-based rigs have more unique interfaces, and there are many to choose from.

It's worth bearing in mind that most "Classic" desktop rigs output 100W, across 1MHz - 50MHz for HF - this needs to be supported by components that take up place.

Devices that operate at 10W are much smaller (and are typically chained with a larger indépendant amp..)

Oh wow:

And in 1954, the CIA protected United Fruit’s interests by overthrowing the Guatemalan government, which had threatened to take some of the company’s land — much of which was being held in reserve, not even cultivated — and redistribute it. The American ambassador to the country used the Cold War to justify the ousting of President Jacobo Arbenz even though Arbenz was not quite a communist. The ambassador, John Peurifoy, famously said that "if Arbenz is not a communist, he will certainly do until one comes along."

Dwight Eisenhower tried to put a good face on things by explaining that

The people of Guatemala, in a magnificent effort, have liberated themselves from the shackles of international Communist direction and reclaimed their right for self-determination . . . I pay tribute to the historic demonstration of devotion to the cause of freedom given by the people of Guatemala and their leaders.

But it was clear what had really happened. The American-led coup installed a dictator, Carlos Castillo Armas, who repealed the constitution, established concentration camps for his enemies, and arrested thousands of dissidents. After his assassination in 1957, the country was plunged into a terrible civil war.

People have made arguments against abuse in vulnerable populations, which I think is an important argument. But one thing that I really haven't seen explored, and specifically where this applies to suicidal ideation, is the extent to which this is considered a 'condition' or not.

The human body / brain has extremely powerful mechanisms for ensuring certain 'drives' that are essential for the survival and propagation as a species. This is what is biologically 'normal' / 'healthy'. Whether we agree with these drives or not philosophically is another thing. But if someone is anorexic, we recognise that their drive for hunger has been compromised, and make sure to restore it. We don't go "oh it's ok, their desire not to eat is voluntary". Psychiatric diseases are complex. To just assume "will" can never be compromised in disease is naive. And equally more naive is to assume that there is no action that one could do to restore the diseased processes such that that will would be reversed.

So the fact that when it comes to suicidal ideation we are less prone to say "this is a disease which circumvents the brain's normal processes that create the imperative urge to survive, leaving one suicidal", and we just go "wouldn't it be nice if they could end their life peacefully without consequences" is bizzare.

Note that in the situation where a degree of suicidality is not the main issue, and we're talking about palliation by physicians, current laws and practices absolutely do not prevent a doctor from taking actions that are intended to palliate rather than prolong a life of suffering. So the euthanasia bill isn't really about that. It's about supporting people who actively want to die, by providing "assistance". Discussing whether their circumstances warrant them wanting to die is a red herring, no matter how dire those circumstances may be.

That's not my point. My point is that overhead increases and efficiency decreases the larger your system is. And companies at the size of states are just as inefficient.

Ergo, the idea that the market handles their duties more efficiently is a lie. It has nothing to do with corporate vs state owned enterprise, but a matter of complexity.

Please don't give recommendations.

Mullvad has had multiple public audits and even contributed to other security-related open source projects. You don't have to create an account and they even take cash by mail. It can't be more anonymous than that.

Astrill on the other hand has had no public audits, and costs more than twice as much. It is not worth the price, since their security can't be checked by normal users. Also they require an account.
Furthermore even in their FAQ they don't say that they wouldn't give the data to a court. They ask the question, but don't really answer it.

I've climbed this mountain of madness trying to calculate working hours elapsed before. It was easily the project I messed up on more than any other in my career. I'm glad I did it, I'm glad I learned a lot, and I hope to never have to work on something like that again. I'd rather spend the rest of my career untangling double & triple encoded character set problems.

The biggest problem is that if even programmers - who know this is hard, and has a lot of corner cases - mess it up, expect your requirements to be very very wrong with regards to special cases.

Come up with a list of example cases and ask what the expected output should be; but not just the corner cases, the normal examples too. There's a good chance even basic requirements regarding timezone conversions have not been thought about, or are wrong. Like the earlier post said, humans really only think in local time and for short periods in the future or past. Any conversion whatsoever can end up being pretty unintuitive (even if it's right).

If it has to do with scheduling, BE EXPLICIT. Show both (or more) local times and dates and let the user pick a time for either location. Maps with pins can be a very helpful UI affordance

I completely agree. But the intend I wanted to capture was that if you have complete transparency over your own system, can act independently and are not bound by top-down mandates, this is where you have the highest efficiency.

This is identical to the idea of small scale teams working on systems they completely understand and own. This is where you have the most productive teams and it is the same in terms of bureaucracy. And the job of an architect is not to create "a beautiful system", but to lower the complexity of the overall system.

I think the topic of complexity and large systems is one of the defining ones of our time. Similar to entropy, you start with a low-state system where you can generate energy from putting entropy into the system. But with a higher state of entropy, your energy gains decrease.

We act like you can just pure more and more onto the same pile, but eventually, everything stagnates. And only collapse can create a blank slate.
This is not correct.

The loss of DVD sales has changed the type of movies that are being created.

Matt Damon himself has explained how Good Will Hunting would not get made today because of this.

It is really simple too if you think of yourself as the investor in the film getting pitched.
"Will Hunting, a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he solves a difficult graduate-level math problem, his talents are discovered by a professor"

Only an idiot would invest in that in 2024 but we are way past that. I imagine no one would even bother pitching that at all in 2024. Certainly wouldn't get a meeting with anyone.

There was a golden era of film not long ago and that era is gone forever. The Fountain might be the best example though. I love that movie but it lost millions of dollars even at the height of the golden era.

Just skimmed through it.

One thing that popped out is that you might want to try to define dependencies at the workspace level and then in the sub-crates point to those instead.

Otherwise you are correct, your setup is already very granular. Furthermore, I have no clue about why it takes so long on your end :/ . I am running on Linux, so I wonder if there's something in the MacOs stack that messes things up and so you end up recompiling dependencies over and over.

Another thing I noticed in my setup is that one of the biggest offenders was sqlx if the macro feature was enabled since the queries were ran at each incremental compilation.
The usual with this is "whatever ships with the language compiler and OS".

> I'd be interested in exploring how you would prefer the network topology to look like.

I tried to highly restrict my virtual machine with just an allow list (works via firewalld), and at the same time allowing the vm to query the (physical) LAN for dns-sd.

Tbh, I could not get the latter to work directly. I ended up letting my host function as an dns-sd reflector.

Does that work with wlan? libvirt creates a bridge, but with or without NAT it could not let the vm participate like a normal LAN-client. I thought it was a limitation of wireless lan bridging.

The entire point is that technology shapes society so that joyful activities are subverted to create perversions like AI.

I pay for VPN service with a credit card in my name that I have had for years. I'm not trying to hide the fact that I occasionally use a VPN. The ISP sees the tunnel, the websites I visit see the VPN IP, netflow logs the time, duration, bytes transferred, etc. It's no secret that I am using a VPN.

IMO, most VPN users are normal people, like me, who just want privacy from online advertisers and data aggregators. I do not want or expect privacy from the VPN provider. After all, I connect to their VPN service from my home ISP (which has an IP) that has an account in my name too.

No matter how you try to hide your payment for the VPN service, they know who you are.

IMO, technical people often 'go too far' and become unreasonable about these things (especially security people). They have lost touch with real-world threat models and use cases.

They're not a "direct consequence". If they were, quantum computers would arise spontaneously in the environment. What you mean to say is that quantum mechanics permits quantum computers to exist. That doesn't mean something else can't forbid them from existing, or forbid them from ever reaching supremacy in practical applications.

>If you think that quantum computers won't work, then either (1) all the theorists studying them for the past half century have somehow screwed up their basic maths, or (2) our understanding of quantum mechanics is wrong in ways that experiments have already ruled out.

You know this thing called science? Its goal is not to know things, it's to learn things. If we already knew everything there is to know about quantum mechanics people would have built a perfectly functioning quantum computer at the first try (or they would have known from the start it was impossible). Physicists are trying to build quantum computers partly because in doing so they learn new things about quantum mechanics, and because they want to learn if it's possible to build them. Quantum computers are themselves also an experiment about quantum mechanics.
