Focusing on small-medium businesses and individuals who normally don't have alot of knowledge or access to people who do information technology as our leads has been our bread and butter - you want to be looking at local companies like art galleries, schools, non-profits, places that are running legacy systems that need to be upgraded, stuff like that are just everywhere and the thing is they know they need work done and they just haven't gotten around to hiring someone to do it. The big thing is lead generation and you can just do that on google maps, and showing up friendly asking if they need help. We don't really try to be big or anything, but we're happy with solid income in something we simply enjoy doing. We just landed a client that's been linking us up with doing red team work for larger international companies, which has been a fun change from the development work I've been mostly doing - all it took was all of us here just running through a bunch of tryhackme and hackthebox to make sure we are on the same page, and then just getting linked up through people we know from going to defcon, so this has been a really exciting and fun pivot which definitely pays more than the other stuff!

It does, but 1password forces you to use the browser extension in order to manage passkeys.

I still don't trust browser extensions. I'm probably being irrational, but it is hard to find good sec info on how "safe" extensions really are.
> What are the reasons why moving to a single payer system is so bad?

Half the country (or at least, half the voters, which is only like 2/3rd of the country because so many don't vote) believes in rugged individualism and a Just World.

They see single payer as their tax dollars going to paying for someone else's health problems that they caused themselves. In other words, they'll complain about their dollars paying for a smoker's lung cancer treatment or an overeater's diabetic treatment. They think everyone's health problems are their own and don't want to pay for it.

The fact that when they pay for health insurance but don't make claims means their money goes to other people is completely lost on them.
They get round this by what's called "intercompany eliminations".

UHC and chums simply buy the medical providers, and can then use them to launder people's premiums. UHC et al can only keep a maximum of 20% (? - I forget the exact figure) of the premiums; but if UHC simply own the hospitals, then money laundered through those hospitals via very high profit procedures etc become permitted profits for UHC.
Something about the glorious peanut, and its standing at the top of all vegetables?
The alternative of crawling to a stop isn’t really an improvement.
Don't be a dick. It's totally normal to be skeptical and doubtful of some over-the-top claims. The onus is squarely on the person presenting the information to justify it. Your points about replication are accurate, but let's at least keep it to a pretext of civility.
In Python you get run-time typing and dispatch. In Haskell you get static typing [and monomorphisation]. GP means that static typing is safer and faster.
> releases their models

Some of them, and initially only by accident. And without the ingredients to create your own.

Meta is trying to kill OpenAI and any new FAANG contenders. They'll commoditize their complement until the earth is thoroughly salted, and emerge as one of the leading players in the space due to their data, talent, and platform incumbency.

They're one of the distribution networks for AI, so they're going to win even by just treading water.

I'm glad Meta is releasing models, but don't ascribe their position as one entirely motivated by good will. They want to win.
Yeah, that's fair, in this sense they obviously mean "internet/modern technology" but it's funny to me that the "take a break from tech" isn't to go for a walk or reflect, but instead it's "Go consume a different form of media!"

That is just your narrative. The incident was a disasterous foreign policy and very direct and it backfired on him very quickly too (I frankly rather not further debate this on a gratitude thread out of respect for his supporters but we could go ad nauseum). You can add all the color you want to soothe your pain and paint your own hero in the story as an unmistakeable saint, meanwhile kicking every other leader down for basic decisions they had to make for the good of their people. In the end results speak for themselves: the American people did not see him worthy of a second term.

The point is not "there are hard choices a President has to make," which is a fine attitude, but the fact that the GP idolized him so much to declare him best for "all of humanity." That is absolutely ridiculous. Clearly not.
A brand isn't much of a moat: MySpace's brand was a moat for a few years. Then Facebook came and ate their lunch.
As a Person with ADHD:

- first thing i do is drinking big glass of water

- doing Sun Salutation yoga sequence, either 1 time or N times -as long as i am willing to do that day-

- spend first 15 minutes of working hour with coffee and writing a short todo for that day into paper.

I cannot emphasise enough how doing mindful exercises -even 1 minute!- regularly in the morning helps with my ADHD.

But here is my ADHD trap:
I do yoga every morning, feel better, since i feel better stop doing them at some point because i don't think i need it. Downward spiral starts and i lost track of my ADHD.

Yes, and with GraphQL you didn't have to invent your own way to represent the syntax and semantics in the query string, and you get to use the GraphQL type system and tooling.
My reply was to the following comment:

> How significant? Doubtful it moves the needle for Apple.

I made no claims about governments dictating prices anywhere.

Dictating behaviour, however, is already being done in many areas, especially consumer protection, anti competitiveness and others.
Dmca is under prejury laws. However content id has no legal protection. You can sue google for false accusation if you want (good luck winning since their terms of service allow this - you would have to also argue the terms of service should not apply)
Any evidence that "most people" are given a voice into actual systemic change? I haven't been given an opportunity to vote for a candidate that actually wants to change our healthcare system, personally. Obama helped many people, but his moves did not really attempt to solve the problems of insurer inefficiency and grift, and instead codified their position as gatekeepers.
Copyright is an outstanding moat. Think Disney.
I am surprised I am not seeing the obvious in the comments.

When ever the market is this bad, it usually indicates we are in a recession.

The government numbers are just a lagging indicator.
They don't. ContentID makes the claimant determine if a counterclaim is valid or not. YouTube forwards the messages, diverts revenue into an escrow bucket for the duration, and washes their hands of any decision-making in the matter after the automated notice.
Fabrice has recently extended this work into audio encoding, an area which to me seems more useful than shaving a bit more off wik8 compression rates.

Demo and code? Available at bellard.org as well.
My understanding: It's like a yubikey (a device that lets you login securely) but using a similar protocol without the hardware. "Virtualized" in other words. Unfortunately susceptible to poor self-serving implementation UI by greedy vendors.
I should certainly hope so.
Alcoa actually owns 26% of the output of a hydro electric dam on the Columbia River(Rock Island Dam) directly adjacent to it’s mothballed factory. It’s not that they can’t get power in the US cheaper, it’s that they can resell that power at higher profit than running a smelter with that power.

Thousands of jobs left the town and now a several billion dollar plant sits idle. The idea recently floated they sell the land, power and water rights to MSFT for their new water cooled data center’s nearby, but MSFT didn’t want to own all that infra.
Self plug, but I made this to deal with bots on my site: https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html. It is a simple markov generator to obfuscate content (static-site friendly, no server-side dynamic generation required) and an optional link-maze to send incorrigible bots to 100% markov-generated non-sense (requires a server-side component.)
Any single payer system would significantly impact American's ability to choose their doctors, specific drugs, and procedures. Just look at the difference between dealing with an MRI for an injured knee in the US vs Canada - you're going to wait much longer in Canada.

Americans really value choice and access, so they resist anything that hints at “rationing.” As a result, costs keep climbing, and there’s an insane amount of money tied up in administrative overhead.

For anyone looking for a nuanced perspective on this, I highly recommend Peter Attia's interview with Saum Sutaria (McKinsey's formed healthcare lead).
If they're not respecting robots.txt, and they're causing degradation in service, it's unauthorised access, and therefore arguably criminal behaviour in multiple jurisdictions.

Honestly, call your local cyber-interested law enforcement. NCSC in UK, maybe FBI in US? Genuinely, they'll not like this. It's bad enough that we have DDoS from actual bad actors going on, we don't need this as well.
I recommend Marc-Andre Argentino's research on the 764 network. Teens and kids are, to some degree, self-radicalizing.

Pretty sure it’s not default, and Cloudflare browser check and/or captcha is a way bigger problem than TLS fingerprinting, at least was the case the last time I scraped a site behind Cloudflare.
Read the article, the bots change their User Agent to an innocuous one when they start being blocked.

And having to use Cloudflare is just as bad for the internet as a whole as bots routinely eating up all available resources.
> who starves and dies.

It’s not a binary decision. Healthcare is a gradient of treatment options and outcomes. The concept you are missing is called economizing which includes substituting services, adjusting time preferences, sharing, expanding network of providers, etc.

> post-2008 fail-capitalism

You mean the one where government agencies were taking the risk of bad mortgages from sellers?

We don’t have anything close to a capitalist market in healthcare or finance.
> No, this "ideal state" is in fact the reality I've been experiencing for the past few months.

I agree that technically, it seems possible to choose between hardware keys and OS passkey. But I also agree with the article that they try to push their own solution by hiding the alternatives, and that should not be allowed.
This is the beginning of the end of the public internet, imo. Websites that aren't able to manage the bandwidth consumption of AI scrapers and the endless spam that will take over from LLMs writing comments on forums are going to go under. The only things left after AI has its way will be walled gardens with whitelisted entrants or communities on large websites like Facebook. Niche, public sites are going to become unsustainable.
Depends. It could shift the calculus of AI companies to curtail their free tiers and actually accelerate a reduction in traffic.
I prefer to pay for something as important as a password manager. It's like some people get excited about all-you-can-eat sushi: sorry, but raw fish isn't something I want to go super-cheap with.
How this works is the LLM predicts the probability of the next token and then an arithmetic coder turns that probability distribution into bits. So it will never hallucinate. In the worst case, when the LLM makes an outrageous prediction, you just use more bits, but it doesn't affect correctness.
Imo they are trying to turn cars into a disposable consumer products.

Sure, they may gain some me minor manufacturing cost drops with those large castings.

As for EV motors I think this is a temporary state of things. We've been making electric motors for 290 years now. EV transition has just started and there's going to be so many OEM suppliers of motors. Motors aren't nearly as large as ice engines. And patents expire.
Hardly surprising because the idiomatic usage of "open source" predates OSI.
This! Quotas. Max X% of engineering should be H1B's. + Allow H1-B holders to be free agents and move to the highest bidder. + No working at contractors. This is one of the biggest problems. The WiPro's, Tata's, Infosys's, et al, are providing cheap labor for large IT Dept's to operate IT systems like Oracle and SAP. Apple contracts into the 10's of 1000's of these types of resources. Americans could be trained into these type of positions.

Wasn't sure so I checked.
Not a physicist.

If navier-stokes equations can be derived from Newton's laws, then Newton's laws can be derived from Galileo, Archimedes before him, even some older thinkers before them.

Newton ignored viscosity, and density. He made some discoveries on fluid dynamics but his famous laws only apply to solid objects. Same for velocity, he knew about that of course but only worked it out for solids. Ignoring two critical components meant he didn't establish relations between them either.

That's my read.

Not to dismiss credits to Newton, who's is in another league than navier and stokes. In his own league even. He probably would have figured out what was only solved centuries later had he explored further, or had he benefited from perhaps just a few other later discoveries.

But that's dismissive of navier-stokes significant discoveries on fluid dynamics to not simply give them credit for the formula behind this simulation.

Oh, did you mean conservation?
> Capital letters are only useful as ECC, not direct signal. (You can't pronounce them, they aren't preserved in many contexts, the lay writer won't respect them, etc).

In speech I clarify if and when needed, naturally.

> Your idea is like saying "Google" can be a trademark owned by Alphabet but "google" is just a verb. It seems like a cute linguistic hack but won't be meaningful in the public discourse.

You have it exactly backwards. Descriptively "to google" is a verb.

Descriptivism is much better than prescriptivism in natural language. Sure, we need to use prescriptivism when teaching the language, but we do get to evolve the language. That's just how it goes and has gone for the entire recorded history of mankind.
How does that work? Ownership of the YT video is transferred to the scammer? Even if just a part of it contains "copyright"?

You may (surely) have seen many posts on Stock price forecasting with Deep Learning on the web. LSTMs, GANs, Transformers, etc. Sometimes with beautiful graphics showing how well the forecast tracks the actual data. I’ll show you how to create these exact same graphics without cheating, overfitting, leakage, or GPUs. I’ll use Random Walk forecasts (predicting the next day’s value as the last day’s value), and try to tell you why these Stock price forecasting with Deep Learning posts are deceptive and misleading.

Who said I’m a hater? That was a very aggressive response. All I said is that I think Rust is not a good language for a scripting system. In scripting, I’m not always writing something “correct”, but good enough. Mutability everywhere helps do so, but the borrow checker gets in the way of that.

The original source[0] (which you don't link to):

Curious what drive-by down voters actually have to say about this. The entire block of text seems at least mostly true. I think it's fair to say the assumption that the USA is a functioning democracy is at the very least up for debate.
Is it Google's search engine, or is it that there was less pollution on the Internet two decades ago?
Apparently not by a lot, but it does indeed.

Apparently yes.

If a more specific UA hasn't been set, and the library doesn't force people to do so, then the library that has been the source of abusive behaviour is blocked.

If it clears you at all. I accidentally set a user agent switcher on for every site instead of the one I needed it for, and Cloudflare would give me an infinite loop of challenges. At least turning it off let me use the Internet again.
Thank you.

I think having it built in is a very good idea. I saw https://elevenlabs.io and even Twilio have similar features.

I saw a lot of companies use UptimeRobot as a separate service, instead of hosting it themselves. I believe that makes sense. When the page is down, you UptimeBot is down as well.
There have even been proposals for a rail tunnel between Finland and Estonia; the Baltics are shallow enough. A power/data tunnel could be done but it would not be cheap.

But that won't address all the other cables which can't be replaced with tunnels. And tunnels are vulnerable in their own way. More proactive defense may be better.
Seems oxymoronic as Meta doesn’t allow interoperability in order to maintain its walled garden.
Apple does the same but it’s generally done in the space of privacy- security and privacy going hand in hand.
I have little faith in government, any government, when it comes to technology. Either through ignorance or motive, they usually make decisions that result in less privacy, less security.

From the article:

It would be interesting if you had any data about this, since you seem like you would notice who behaves "better" and who tries every trick to get around blocks.
If you're thinking this was Carter's fault, well the same thing happened North of the border too.

History seems to be repeating right now as people frustrated with severe inflation are blaming their local governments and dumping incumbents, but the problem is world wide and it's not terribly clear that there are some poor decisions by local governments that are to blame.
