I've never seen a wrong Facebook fact-check; I am warmly supportive of intrusive moderation; that's not where I'm coming from.

I think we might be talking about two distinct cases. If you're actively thinking whether an image is AI or not, you're already biased to it potentially being AI-generated. That improves your recognition of slop-finding. As I mentioned, I definitely agree how it's fairly straightforward to spot the slop if you're looking for it.

I'm not even sure how we could implement a real-life test without bias. Maybe if there was a complete feed of your internet browsing, where it asks you at the end of the day "ballpark the % of media that you think was AI?". Then go through the entire feed, and scrutinize it one by one.

It's starting to occur to me that even without having any time or inclination for video games these days, one of these handheld Linux gaming computers seems to be what I actually want out of an Android phone, and I'm really starting to despise the whole phone ecosystem. Does one of these exist with passable front/rear cameras for video calling/spur of the moment shots?

I never even use my phone as a phone. I certainly don't make calls while I'm out and about. The thing pointlessly enables spying on me when I don't even want it. But a pocket computer with wifi, enough storage for my entire music collection + wikipedia + maps, and ability to take phone-quality pictures? Running an actual Linux distribution so I don't run into stupid issues like how Android doesn't let you use NFS so they can push you into their cloud services? Awesome.

> On a hard disk, copying multiple files in parallel is likely to make the copy run slower because it spends more time seeking back and forth between the files (except for small files).

Certainly not; it's likely to make it run faster, since you can use the elevator algorithm more efficiently instead of seeking back and forth between the files. You can easily measure this yourself by using comparing wcp, which uses io_uring, and GNU cp (remember to empty the cache between each run).

But that's possibly outweighed by the advantages implied by their mothers having the resources (personal or societal) to get their babies out safely for both themselves and said babies at later ages (mother and/or father have more advanced careers and financial stability) and despite their physical condition.

My kid (born when I, his mother, was 40) is a second generation C-section baby who, had my own mother (who had me at 35) been born in the 60s instead of the 40s, likely would have been a 3rd generation C-section baby. My mother was 10.5 lbs at birth and left my grandmother unable to have another child in her early 20s. Perhaps I can't eat crustaceans and have a stuffed nose for several weeks in the spring because I didn't get my mother's microbiome. I'll take that trade; my mother was then able and willing to go on to have my little brother.

I'll also wager that as a Western middle-class middle-aged professional who had my kid about a decade after I "should have" (can't plan everything!), my child's material circumstances and opportunities would be the envy 90-95% of his agemates worldwide. I'm definitely providing a better education than a semi-literate 17-year-old Afghani woman who could only have hers "the old fashioned way".

PX – unified way for running user defined scripts
I created a unified way for running user defined scripts -- very similar to what node has in package.json by default.

It parses native scripts from package.json and composer.json. Adds ability to define scripts in Cargo.toml and in it's own px.json/px.toml.

When running package.json/composer.json scripts, px proxies the execution, and triggers `npm run SCRIPT_NAME` or `composer run-script SCRIPT_NAME`.

Comes handy when switching between different languages, where some doesn't have this capability. PX lets you stop thinking about how to run your script and lets you just use `px SCRIPT_NAME`, no matter what language.

What is so hard to understand here?

If a NAT made a device unreachable from the Internet, it'd be more secure then a device that's reachable.

You could theoretically leave management ports unsecured etc, because there is no danger - they can't be reached after all.

It just turned out that techniques such as NAT hole punching were developed, which made this rationale invalid. Because your devices could still become reachable.

Yes, this specific technique requires a an active part on both ends, but this active part can be something completely innocent, such as an activeX applet in Internet explorer 6.

Or a Freeware they installed, and now opens up the whole network, not just the device is installed on.

This is all from the very beginnings of the Internet, things weren't as explored back then, and that's why NATs were considered a security feature back then.

Modern malware is obviously much more advanced so we intuitively know why it was never really providing any safety. Hackers were mostly doing things for bragging rights, cryptolockers weren't a thing, the current default malware setup of having command hosts that compromised hosts check for new commands to execute weren't even thought of. In these times, NAT looked like a security feature, because it kinda looks like it.

More energy means more power consumption, more heat in my room, you can't escape thermodynamics. I have a small home office, it's 6 square meters, during summer energy draw in my room makes a gigantic difference in temperature.

I have no intention of drawing more than a total 400w top while gaming and I prefer compromising on lowering settings.

Energy consumption can't keep increasing over and over forever.

I can even understand it on flagships, they meant for enthusiasts, but all the tiers have been ballooning in energy consumption.

That's kind of what I'm getting at with the first part of my post. Doomsday for the Fed is "major collapse of sector(s) the US economy they fail to arrest" or esoteric economic woe that requires drastic but relatively novel (legally speaking) measures to address. The kind of systemic seizing that some of the people who had the foresight and money to have made a killing on 2008 but didn't because they feared the wholesale collapse would happen because they didn't factor in the firehose of money that would be directed at the problem.

Complete societal collapse is outside their purview because they depend on there to be an economy to manage which ceases to meaningfully exist at certain points on the Doomsday scale.

Nvidia segments its big iron AI hardware from the consumer/prosumer segment. They do this by forbidding the use of GeForce drivers in datacenters[1]. All that to say, it is possible for the H100 to to have excellent Linux support, while support for the 4090 is awful.

Here's one of my favorite uses for it. I used to write a separate program to generate static tables. With compile time function execution, this was no longer necessary. Here's an example:

__gshared uint[256] tytab = tytab_init;
extern (D) private enum tytab_init =
() {
uint[256] tab;
foreach (i; TXptr) { tab[i] |= TYFLptr; }
foreach (i; TXptr_nflat) { tab[i] |= TYFLptr; }
foreach (i; TXreal) { tab[i] |= TYFLreal; }
/* more lines removed for brevity */
return tab;
} ();

The initializer for the array `tytab` is returned by a lambda that computes the array and then returns it.

> Public transport is already largely cheaper than owning a car in many places, yet people drive.

This is not a binary distinction. If you save $0.20 by taking public transport but it takes an hour longer, of course people drive. If you save $3 by taking public transport and it only costs you five minutes, that's different math.

> You can get anywhere in Germany with this, and 58 EUR is not even remotely achievable as monthly cost for a car.

When most people have a car you have to compare it not to the amortized cost of owning a car but the marginal cost of driving one you already have.

The majority of trips might be suitable for public transport but then people have a car because it's such an inconvenience to go to Costco and carry back everything you buy there on a bus, or they occasionally go somewhere the bus doesn't. So they get a car and then the insurance, tax, depreciation, etc. are all sunk costs and to get them to take the bus instead of driving themselves it has to beat the cost of gas.

Which it can, if you make it zero. Which in turn increases ridership, allowing you to justify more routes, which reduces latency, which causes even more people to take mass transit. By making mass transit more attractive instead of making driving less attractive.

> It requires connections that cover the last bit as well - and they will often run unprofitable.

Or you can just handle 85% of the cases that would have a justifiable amount of ridership and then let people drive a car or get an Uber in the 15% that would be mostly disused, instead of leaving it how it is now where people drive the majority of the time.

I'm no economist by any means but most armchair experts I interact tend to believe that this drive in pricing comes from low yield government spending, increased immigration and of course lower rate of residences being built.

IMO, altering immigration levels would have the most tangible affect on the housing and jobs (unsure about the US). I'm not bullish on the idea that we can build residences quickly and the government spending is hard to control with poor financial auditing among the current administration.

This isn't the whole story (from a serial FOIA person myself). The judicial branch is generally excluded from FOIA laws (it shouldn't be), but it is subject to disclosure under the First Amendment and the common law. While that doesn't provide any statutory wins (e.g. must disclose in X days etc), it does allow you to sue if say a court doesn't provide you with records you want.

see e.g. Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc. (1978): recognizing the common law right of access to judicial records but allowed the court to deny access when interests such as privacy, national security, or fair trial rights outweigh the public's interest.

> A 58% voter turnout is a statistically significant sampling of the population

Voters are not randomly sampled so this is impossible to state due to selection bias. If a plurality of potential voters are saying "none of the above" when asked to vote, that itself is a noteworthy signal.
Keep in mind the "full" grace is a completely different beast with Neoverse cores. This new GB10 uses different cores and might well have a different memory interface. I believe the "120 GB" config includes ECC overhead (which is inline on Nvidia GPUs) and Neoverse cores have various tweaks for larger configurations that are absent in the Cortex-x925.

I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't see anything from Nvidia that implies a 512 bit wide memory interface on the Nvidia Project DIgits.
