My host has been amazing. They're based in Europe and have told the person they have no right to ask for information and they will not give it. The individual has got nowhere in that European country, but the USA where free speech is guaranteed has just let him get his way.

I realise opsec was lax on the Cloudflare side but I never imagined they would do this with no questions asked.
I think what is missing is the assumption that the replacement product would be better for the environment. Like before we had plastic crap we had steel products. And we know very well the damage that industry causes back when we had a local steel industry polluting the rust bet cities for decades. Maybe you use wood well a lot of the wood they used back then wasn’t really sustainably harvested either.

What we are left with is plastic. Cheap yes but also perhaps the least bad of the other things.

As long as we engage in rampant consumerism we will run into similar rampant consumerism issues no matter the materials used.

AI Robots Are Entering the Public World–With Mixed Results
Self-Discovery with LLMs
I built a system using Claude Projects to gain insights about myself by analyzing my personal data (self-assessments, reflection notes, and digital footprints). Here's what I learned about combining LLMs with traditional self-discovery methods to reinforce more self-discovery.
This is one those cases of "why not both"?

I totally agree that we need technical solutions. We have no hope without them. But it's also naive to think that endless growth without lifestyle changes is possible.

That said, if you really think about it, the most important lifestyle change of all is happening, and quite dramatically so: People are having fewer children.
I think you have to distinguish between a model, its implementation, and its weights/parameters. AFAIU:

- Models are processes/concepts, thus not copyrightable, but are subject to trade secret law, contract and license restrictions, patents, etc.

- Concrete implementations may be copyrighted like any code.

- Parameters are "facts", thus not copyrightable, but are similarly subject to trade secret and contract law.

IANAL, not legal advice, yadda yadda yadda.
I understand his family have already seen it and it has caused him to not stand in another election. It was not the intention of the site to harm him. In fact the allegations were possibly going to be used to harm him if we hadn't got hold of it.
TP Link has a great track record in my house. Always had far less issues and oddities than with Netgear, Cisco/Linksys, Belkin etc. hardware.
Id be interested in hearing more about this. It stands somewhat in contrast to what their privacy policy and transparency report claims.
There's no such thing as a subpoena in the UK, just equivalents. I guess you translated it for an international audience, but can you clarify exactly what Cloudflare received? From what court? What did it require them to disclose?

Cloudflare do not guarantee protection against your identity being discovered when the law is involved, they are not a service for anonymity against the law. You will need to make peace with your identity being revealed. Although too late now, there are other options for publishing online with anonymity.

There are many curves. It's a series of sigmoids. There are many innovations to keep up with the expected constant performance increases and demand.

They started running out of data, then curated it, then spent more time on inference. There are many small and large innovations that continue to improve performance as each improvement gets implemented and maximized and the gains flatten out and then increase again.

Some are using giant SRAM chips. They will then connect them with optics. When that doesn't keep up with demand, probably memristors or something will be scaled to be the next paradigm.

Look at the massive improvements made by the DeepSeek team to the open source SOTA recently.
>models are locked away in data centers as trade secrets

The architecture and the weights in a model are the secret process used to make a commercially valuable output. It makes the most sense to treat them as a trade secret, in a court of law.
Is glass manufacturing of a coke bottle better for the environment than plastic manufacturing in terms of say emissions in manufacturing or supply chain?
Hello. I was in practically the same situation: I hosted a political site via cloudflare that some people took exception to. In my case they took the example of clearly satirical cartoons (that were uploaded by users - not my own content)and claimed they promoted violence. Cloudflare immediately terminated my account without warning and refused to refund me for the remainder of the month. The harasser then went on to contact my host and after a campaign of reporting every cartoon over the course of several months the host decided it wasn't worth the headache anymore and dropped me also. This experience really soured me on the lack of defense of free speech in the US. I'm afraid I have nothing to offer but my sympathies. If you're reading this and hosting political content on Cloudflare please act accordingly.

First of all, funding arts/sports != livable wages for the artists/atheletes. There's an overlap but wage is just at the tip of the iceberg of funding.

Provide livable wages to athletes and artists who represent your country (i.e., Olympians and national performers/artists). Fund development programs from as early as possible; this means grassroots efforts like summer camps, higher-level contests/tournaments, providing funds for national and international exposure, and providing for easy access to decent gear, among others. A lot of the participants in these programs wouldn't do this for life---won't make it to the Olympics or to the National Opera---but it will do a lot of other things like keep children off the streets and, not to mention, develop other skills/connections that could still come in useful later in life. If anything, sports could give them a love for exercise which, I heard recently, is the most potent medical intervention.

And yes, your son is an artist as long as he imagines himself to be. Ideally he has access to these development programs that could pave the way for him to a professional art career if he's so determined.

Your garage band is an artist group; what you may not be is a professional artist group. Same goes for the subway busker.

Speaking of which, when you went to the flip side, you kinda went from oranges to, not quite apples but lemons. Professionals like Swift and Brady should be far far less the taxpayer's concern compared to Olympians and other amateurs.
imo depression is a physical circumstance that selects its own downstream psychology. I don't think you can talk or reason out of depression without a radical reframing that causes your physical behavior and circumstances to change. your body and its habits create preferences for psychological intensity, which gets it hits of feelings it would get normally if the being that inhabited it were free and self accepting.

the self or ego speaks language, and the therapist's demeanour is intended to create a physical peace where the self can run and exhaust itself before becoming receptive to a (hopefully constructive) reframing. where I diverge from my psychologist friends is I think using language to relieve the suffering of the being only works accidentally, or when some language can overflow the self and unseat it from its dominion of the being. there's a state of enlightened duality where you can see your thoughts without feeling them or being directed by them, much like what meditation recommends, and from that state the being literally just chooses experiencies that bring it peace or joy. sustaining that is an effort and skill that can developed with practice and exercise.

trying to reconcile the symbols and artifacts of language with other symbols and artifacts of language is a treadmill to me. how's that working out? couldn't say precisely, but wisdom is shown to be right by its results.
I was in Sarajevo during those times for a couple of days, so I remember. Also in Pristina. Yes, many people in Eastern Europe used to dislike gypsies, when I was a kid it was widespread, but I never heard anything about this in the past 10 years. This fire is out, probably on a permanent basis.
Aha, thanks for confirming! Yes, this was the behavior I was talking about.

I encountered it with Docker on NixOS and found it confusing. They have since documented this behavior: https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=24.11&show=virtuali...
Seems like a use case for AI right here; just have the user 'talk' silently, mouthing the words or in a very quiet whisper. I assume AI can read lips pretty well by now right? So turn on your video, have the AI already know how to synthesize your voice, and then just careful mouth the words into the camera. An AI model should be able to live-synthesize your voice that matches what you want to say and I think there would be minimal latency, not any worse than other video conferencing latency. And with headphones on, nobody on the plane can hear the other side, or you. And you could get a live transcript visible to you as well, so you could know if the AI made a mistake in reading your lips and you could correct it.

Might look weird but shrug.
Depends how you power the glass factory. It certainly can if you use coal or gas.
You can make a profitable text-only website, e.g. Craigslist.

Just as a note, the majority of the climbing industry is probably as you say (I'm not an expert in it by any means!), but the guys featured in this post are both pros at ERI who work on some of the more interesting projects. Still, to me one of the bigger downsides is the travel...

Being on the road 50+% of the time (usually more) takes a toll!

With drones being so accessible, a lot of the smaller climbing projects are no longer necessary, when it's just inspecting the top of a small tower with simple antennas.
Isn't that why a frequent approach to a complex problem is to create a custom language/Domain Specific Language (DSL) for that problem space?

Or where possible, the selection of an extant DSL?
AssemblyAI's most recent models are incredible. I think you aren't accurately assessing leading edge STT or how your young self would judge this capability level.
The subpoena has been issued against Cloudflare in the US in a California court. I have a copy of the subpoena that states they must hand over information that identifies the person behind the site.

I did not expect a subpoena to be issued in the first place, without any test to see if the person has a valid claim.
After more than a decade of trying to find a good one, the only thing I learned and I would share: if you’ve spent the money it’s already late tracking it.

Instead of tracking your expenses, create a budget in an Excel sheet, put aside the money for your regular expenses immediately after you get your salary, then invest the rest (create an investment plan) or transfer to a savings account.
You can say the same about compiled executable code though.
My neighborhood in Seoul got a new subway line while I grew up, I believe they used cut-and-cover (it was almost at the outskirt, so they didn't have anything else underground) and it took several years.

So, while it's doable, it's not exactly "Just dig a hole, build the tunnel and cover, done." It's a major disruption to shops along the street.
I've tried a bunch, and while I'm reluctant to recommend a Quicken product, Quicken Simplifi is actually working out really well for my family and I. The UI is similar to Mint & it supports Apple Pay. I used to export all my data from Mint to a CSV for further cleanup/analysis, but the built-in tools in Simplifi are good enough now that I just do everything inside the app.
No, it doesn't. That's just the error of achieving extreme compression by not counting the information you included in the decompressor. You can think about an algorithm in the abstract, but this is not possible for a program.
Disagree with a few of these

There's nothing wrong with progress. Expecting a user to have a JavaScript enabled browser is reasonable

If they are empty, those billion years didn't happen. But nothing is really empty, right?
I don't doubt your experience. But it seems odd, because the people I've known who were the best at "systems" and multidisciplinary thinking were physicists and physical scientists, including myself. My title was "systems engineer" for many years, and they finally let me be "scientist" though I do mostly the same work. I work in measurement instrumentation, at a site that has mid-sized engineering and manufacturing departments. I'm often the first and only person to fully grasp how a product works, when it involves optics, electronics, mechanics, computation, and the application domain, and has to be manufactured with high quality.

The thing is, the limitations of our tools don't excuse us from having to do research and make things work. Or from finding employment. ;-) So we tend to be opportunists in terms of synthesizing knowledge from multiple fields.
Well, nextpit.com, you're really no better than the rest of them.

The Flavour of Mechanisation
I don't understand how you can read anything about Ansar Allah and conclude that Zaydi revivalism is their "secret" goal. The kids get sent to kill Sunnis, for what it's worth; there aren't US and Israelis there for them to kill. Not that it would matter! They're children!

Yeah, I've gotten somewhat annoyed by the name of 'NAT traversal' for these methods. It seems to make some people think that cutting out NAT will lead to a beautiful world of universal P2P connections. But really, these methods are needed for traversing between any two networks behind stateful firewalls, which will pose a barrier to P2P indefinitely.

Also, wouldn't it be easier for stateful firewalls to block simultaneous TCP open (intentionally or not)? With UDP, the sender's firewall must create a connection as soon as it sends off the first packet, even if that packet bounces off the other firewall: the timing doesn't have to be particularly tight. But with TCP, the firewall might plausibly wait until the handshake is complete before allowing incoming packets, and it might only allow the 3-way SYN/SYN-ACK/ACK instead of the simultaneous SYN/SYN/ACK/ACK.
Wait a sec. There's no ribbon subscription plan? And they sell you high-yield ribbons (lasting many millions of characters) for $6 a piece?

The printer even has USB, looks better on your desk than the average bulky MFP, and consumes ~ 1W on standby. Plus, not having toner particles in the air might be better for your health.

If only the print quality and noise level weren't abysmal by today's standards, this could easily have been my next printer.
No, you’re misunderstanding the scale and making assumptions. It’s widely reported and well known that water bottles polluting the ocean is coming from consumer goods - the volume of plastic trash in the ocean is far far bigger than the entire fishing and all boating industries combined globally. https://plasticoceans.org/the-facts/

Maybe you never heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

It’s a bit shocking to see first hand. Get out there and look around, and you’ll realize this isn’t a tiny problem caused by boaters.

If you mean that you might be able to decrypt a copyrighted work because you used that same encryption method on a non-copyrighted work, then definitely not. The work under protection will be considered. (Otherwise, I am unsure what you meant.)
"Keep in mind that AI models, like most things, are considered intellectual property. Before using or modifying any extracted models, you need the explicit permission of their owner."

If weights and biases contained in "AI models" are prorietary, then for one model owner to detect infingement by another model owner, it may be necessary to download and extract.
Yeah I really regret using Cloudflare. It was in the back of my mind that they could 'throw me under the bus' to use a British colloquialism.

I'm amazed that this can happen so easily in the US. I realise the US courts probably don't care about UK citizens, but free speech is free speech. I realise that's not without consequence, there's been nothing untrue said about this individual to warrant this action.
I remember in high school having my Dad invite me to watch the process of installing the antenna with a gin pole. A fairly risky operation that requires a ton of planning, as you're lifting literal tons of metal up the side of a guyed mast, which is designed for straight-down loads, not loads hanging off the side!

It doesn't always go well, for example the Senior Road Tower collapse.

Ah, yeah. Well free speech is guaranteed over here in the states, but so are corporate entities that kowtow to fascist policies.

Cloudflare (or any other company) does not have your best interest in mind, just their bottom line. They will fold to any legal system if there are no regulations against them folding.
Terribly. I know from my grandparents and their Jew friends (40% of their small town were Jews), most did not survive (<5% after war), I met one in the '80.

How are they treated now? Asking my past 2 managers, both Jews, Israeli citizens doing business in Eastern Europe, they are happy with the current times. This fire is also put out.
This has the same number of free parameters as LambdaCDM. Also this result only looks supernovae, i.e. low redshift sources. LambdaCDM is tested on cosmological scales.

He was a Scout leader, so he obviously sought ways to be close to children. Another group that does that is Catholic priests.

We know how that turned out – no one hears about abuse by priests, and they are silently moved by the Church to another parish, to continue their abusive ways for decades.

In other words, enforced secrecy does not protect potential victims. There's a balance to be found, but it is hard to know what that is.
They're asking about viewing existing PRs, not creating new ones.

Per your description, it is used to stop people from saying or doing something by assigning an uncomfortable unwanted consequence. Someone thinking something is easy does not nor should not imply they actually want it. Most people do not want to do easy tasks all the time.

And no, they did not volunteered themselves. That is just manipulative language.

And both of these are passive aggression.
Hacking the Cloud: Getting Started
Agree. For example I’ve had 3 surgeries in the last couple of years. It would not affect/improve any of them. In one, robotic surgery[1] was used but they needed to take stuff out rather than put new structures in. In the other two, keyhole surgery was used and they needed to cut/grind stuff away rather than add something new. It might well be that certain surgeries would be significantly improved but not all.

[1] https://www.intuitive.com/en-us/products-and-services/da-vin... this is the thing they used, which is a genuinely amazing gadget and reminds me of the Hokkaido mission from “Hitman”.
Blogspam singularity is imminent. Also: this 'article' is from 2016.
At least in a browser context, HTTP/2 doesn't address server to client unsolicitied messages. So you'd still need a polling request open from the client.

HTTP/2 does specify a server push mechanism (PUSH_PROMISE), but afaik, browsers don't accept them and even if they did, (again afaik) there's no mechanism for a page to listen for them.

But if you control the client and the server, you could use it.
You seem very emotionally involved in this. It says "an LLM doing something amazing". That's the sentence. Later the term "seemingly amazing" is used. Implying that it _seems amazing_. Anything beyond that is your personal interpretation. Do you disagree that there is an excess of cherrypicked LLM examples getting anthropomorphized? Yeah, it did a cool thing. Yes, llms doing single cool things are everywhere. Yes, I well be more convinced of its impact when i see it tested more widely.
