As much as I want to solely blame sexism and racism (which without a doubt was a major contributor).

We did also have a serious problem of people just not going to vote that were abstaining due to various (many citing Gaza) reasons that would not have fallen into the racist or sexist category.

I have many friends (honestly hesitant to use that word at the moment... I am frustrated with them) that did not vote (and would generally consider themselves liberal) and yet continue to complain. The turnout was legitimately bad.
> offers truly unlimited bandwidth for free

Free of charge is different from free of restrictions. Cloudflare didn't trick anyone into signing up for these plans, and it's never been a secret that they're a for-profit company.

> contradiction between marketing and reality

I think the important distinction is contradiction between expectations and reality. Cloudflare free plan's outside of Pages have never offered "unlimited free bandwidth" but "generous free bandwidth with conditions". It just so happened that for many the "generous" was unlimited, and this precedence somehow convinced everyone that "free plan" meant "unlimited free bandwidth" instead of "generous free bandwidth with conditions".

I'm with parent in the feeling that most the stories of Cloudflare acting in bad faith end up being the customer up to shady shit but expecting Cloudflare to subsidize them because "free plan". I'd be genuinely curious to read about an incident where I didn't side with Cloudflare.

Separate to this issue is that their Sales team employ strategies that the engineering crowd considers distasteful like phone calls, pressure tactics and private pricing. Most engineers never need to talk to a sales person outside retail, so it's a shock when you're suddenly talking to one trained and incentivized to exploit more from larger clients but is instead using those tactics on you. It's unsettling if you're not familiar with it, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Many public mirror sites do just that by design.
"By continuing, you agree that using any content from this site in training Generative AI grants the site-owner a perpetual, irrevocable, and royalty-free license to use and re-license any and all output created by that Generative AI system, including but not limited to derivative works based on that output."

Just just a GPL-esque idea I've been musing lately [0], I'd appreciate any feedback from actual IP lawyers. The idea is to add a poison-pill, and if a company "steals" your content for their own profit, you can strike back by making it very hard for them to actually monetize the results. Since it's a kind of contract, it doesn't rely on how much work seems to be surfacing in a particular output.

So supposing ArtTheft Inc. snarfs up Jane Doe's paintings from her blog, she--or any similar victim--can declare that they grant the world an almost-public license to anything ArtTheft Inc. has made based on that model. If this happens ArtTheft Inc. could still make some money selling physical prints, but anyone else could undercut them with free or cheaper copies.

I really want to like Gemini Deep Research but I have had a pretty low ROI with it. It fails because it has no ability to evaluate the quality of sources, so some SEOd to hell page has equal weight as the deep dive blog post of a highly invested individual. Its also very hard to steer unless you provide paragraphs of context, if you provide too little it might hyper focus on something you said and go into some random rabbit hole of research.
Wow, this made me really emotional. And even though I definitely did not expect a chill Bali DJ set as the motivational link, it also resonated with me in some way.

I can't think of a more honorable way to move through life. I liken the act of closing shop at this point for Hindenburg to the legend I know of Cincinnatus, the Roman emperor who did the job of emperoring and went back to his fields when it was done.

It also moves me how the team is described, as being from whatever background, but all moved by the same fire. I wish that I could be a part of something like that. What the hell am I doing with my life?

They aren't cheap, at that scale they required huge expenses. And the more they wanted to expand, they more expenses it meant. They overstretched in hopes of that paying off, and it all went crashing down.

The only upside for them now is that those expenses suddenly became unnecessary, but it's not going to stop them from trying to do it all over again.

I remember this story and it missed the entire point.

The customer ( a casino) was using dubious actions in different countries which impacted Cloudflare's IP trust. Tldr: Cloudflare didn't want an IP ban in their IP's due to government regulation.

The fix was to bring their own IP which is an Enterprise feature, as they weren't allowed to use Cloudflare's IPs anymore.
Your definition of nesting is slightly different from what's being used elsewhere in the thread: the article discusses the nesting of clauses, and the essential component of a clause in English is a verb. "in a skiff in the Gulf Stream" isn't a complete clause (and doesn't contain any) because there's no verb. "who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream" is a clause - to fish is the verb - but still not a complete sentence unless interpreted as a question. I'm sure you know that but the terminology isn't consistent between comments in this thread.
Modern embeddings lie on a hypersphere surface, making euclidean equal to cosine. And if they don't, I probably wouldn't want to use them.
the only option to fix healthcare is to decommodify it and implement a public option where the risk pool includes everyone. There is 0 reason that the wealthiest country on the planet needs to operate at a worse level than so called "3rd world countries"

even from a purely neo-Liberal capitalist sense, this completely violates the shared fantasy of the "free market" and yet we still have people going on Joe Rogan saying stuff like "we need to deregulate the market further because this is all due to innovation being stifled through regulation" which is an absurd notion.

Every other country is eating our lunch when it comes to medical discovery and novel chemical compound discovery while the US spends all of its time and money evergreening medical patents to extend them indefinitely so they can maintain monopolistic control. I honestly just don't see a way out of this.
This is what happens when there is an unchecked Affirmative Action program for zionists in many industries like tech and Media.

Microsoft employees get fired for calling for a ceasefire meanwhile their Israeli counterparts get to gloat about continued slaughter of children with a mere investigation, in Apple, they provide extra support for employees doing time for the IDF while Palestinian employees get fired and Muslim support slack channels get shut down.

Unfortunately, the Contrarian Club in the tech industry is yet to reckon with the pernicious AA program for zionists meanwhile bleating about the joke of meritocracy and crying about H1Bs.

> I have never seen so many downvoted comments

Must be those pesky chinese or russian bots. Or could it be something else entirely? A chosen group of bots perhaps?

> that aren’t dead in a thread before.

Give it some time. They start with the downvotes and when things quiet down some, then come the mass flagging of comments.
This is far from the truth in particle physics. The symmetries we've found there (together with the Lorentz symmetry from special relativity) guides and constrains the math very strongly, to the degree that it allows you to predict the photon and the other force-carrying particles, and it even allowed predicting the existence and mass of the weak force carriers (discussed in the article) along with the Higgs mechanism that gives masses to them and most of the other particles. This is certainly a triumph of the Standard Model.

There are limits to how much you can do though, I mean at some point it's going to be "just math that fits reality". If you try to enumerate the number of mechanisms and realities that could give a decent enough diversity of composition that life can arise in some form, there's going to be more than our universe possible.
Lately, the number of times (across different businesses/industries) where I've found myself thinking "Will you please just fucking take my money and stop bothering me?" is too damn high.
Are you being facetious? If you are, that's awesome and hilarious.
It's hilarious. Meta introduced stuff Democrats liked when Democrats were in charge, and it switched to stuff Republicans like precisely on the switchover to Republicans being in charge.

It's so transparent, perhaps part of the point is how nakedly self-serving and obvious it is.

What Meta actually wants to do is hoover up the world's data and sell it, get the world hooked on constant engagement, and erode their privacy until they have none left. To be the middleman getting paid in the entire world's engagement.

The left/right culture war stuff is just so the alien in the human suit can keep getting away with what he actually wants to do.
> I am stating these as a neutral facts on purpose. Regardless of how we got here, the hand is ours to play.

Yeah.

English as a first language is a huge advantage (you have most of the internet at your disposal, with tons of educational resources), but illiteracy is a huge problem.

> hard to recruit good teachers

Good teachers are rare. I wonder if you could find some people to teach who are not teachers in the usual sense. People having a different job, or university students, who would just come and teach kids one lesson a week. It's not perfect, but it could be the most popular lesson, just because it is unusual.

But the important part would be to grow your own teachers; help the best kids become the teachers of the next generation. Maybe you could encourage kids to do this from the start; for example, take the best kids at each grade, and tell them to teach some younger kids one lesson a week.

I wish I could help, but I'm on the opposite side of the planet.
I'd rather Google fix the calender integration in Gmail first.

I used to get automatically created calender events from Gmail for hotels, flights, etc. This was really nice.

But somehow it stopped working well recently. Some emails were not regonized at all (booking.com). Some flight emails are missing return flight.
> Also Israel is not genocidal or apartheid (see: the Arab populations that live in Israel with Israeli citizenship)

Did this argument work for White Rule South Africa? It wasn't an apartheid state as non whites had South African citizenship?

The currrent AI view on your assertion is that:

Arab citizens of Israel have the same legal rights as other Israeli citizens, but they often face discrimination. They are eligible to vote, hold jobs, and live anywhere in Israel. However, they experience socioeconomic disadvantages and discrimination in social and political life.

That kind of zeitgeist summary is drawn from multiple sources, eg: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-know-about-arab-citize...

Arab citizens have the same legal rights as Jewish Israelis, but they tend to live in poorer cities, have less formal education, and face other challenges that some experts attribute to structural discrimination.

Arab political parties have long struggled to gain representation in Israel’s government, and many Arabs have expressed alarm at the leadership of right-wing Jewish politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
I apologise, I didn't fully read your original article as I find that your writing is prone to exaggeration. I've reread it a few times now and I stand by what I said. You mention homomorphic encryption only in a quoted piece of text and a link. You utterly fail to explain what it is. You didn't frame it at all. You hand-waived at it. I don't disagree with you on the point about this being opt in, but your blog post is a massive overreaction, heavy on prose and opinion, but light on any tangible facts.
Contrary to the author's quip about incentive systems, I wish I'd learned earlier that it's a fool's errand to care about things that have no positive feedback loop, no relevancy in my life, that I have no actual influence over, or that are otherwise beyond my purview. To 21 year old me, and probably many others, it would seem heartless or self-serving, but by doing so I get to focus on the few things I can authentically care about without worrying about how much they're reciprocated, and I don't need to passive aggressively try to influence broader behavior indirectly. If a neighbor or random stranger needs a hand, I give it to them and don't ask for anything in return. Likewise if someone wants to strike up a convo. I give people my time and energy if I can afford to and want to. I try to make that possible more often than not, and it leaves me with a very healthy social life, along with a non-burnout inducing work life. Beyond that, it'd be self-destructive and non-economical.

I realized years ago that in retrospect it was stupid to care beyond what I was rewarded for caring about or that my success was measured by, which was time, not quality, or accessibility, or usability, or anything else, and that's usually the case. If you have 2 weeks to get something completed, and it's not in the definition of completed to make sure screen readers can parse the website or whatever, then it's not your job to do that unless you'd be there anyway and get the rest of the stuff done with time to spare.

If you work at the DMV, you're sure as hell not wise to try and fight for different higher level decisions, it's not worth losing it for, and you're not measured by how happy of a place it is. Sure, engage in your interactions with people with respect, but don't take on responsibilities you're not paid for.

That said, if you could otherwise afford to spend a bit more time or effort outside work on things that aren't entirely self-serving, after you've done things that do bring you only personal value, but deliberately choose not to all the time, then ya that's just lame af.

Lastly, I do ultimately agree that some people are just absolute careless assholes on an individual level or deeply antisocial unfortunately, and we shouldn't be cultivating that in our cities, but that's a different convo. The worst I tend to see on a daily basis is cigarettes being tossed on the sidewalk and dogshit left by owners who I'd prefer didn't have them.
Kindles already can have ads on the sleep screen! Unless you paid for the ad free version.
This is a strange blog post. Their tables say:

Cerebras yields 46225 * .93 = 43000 square millimeters per wafer

NVIDIA yields 58608 * .92 = 54000 square millimeters per wafer

I don't know if their numbers are correct but it is a strange thing for a startup to brag that it is worse than a big company at something important.
Does that include the artificially bloated cost of care (compared to e.g. Medicare), the costs of Medicare Part D fraud, and the costs of having care denied and delayed (2–3x the claim denial rate of Medicare) or just the premiums?

Last time we did this song and dance you doubled down on incorrect assumptions about how Medicare functions. So, no, it's not likely I'll come to the same conclusions as you.
Somewhat pedantic - Using HTMX represents a modern approach to building a web front-end. However, I'm confident that recursivedoubts (creator of HTMX) would agree HTMX is not itself written in modern Javascript. No Typescript, no modules, no functional programming, no async, etc.

Yes reading about the insecurity of the military outposts near the border, one only filled with all-female 20yr old comms people and only a couple guards with rifles, another base full of unarmed students in training, and the general slow response of some of the QRF was pretty shocking. Proper military response took hours to show up in some cases. It's not like the giant Ukraine border, it should be easier to manage. But I'm no expert...
I doubt people in Japan care more or less than anywhere else. They just buy into a different social contract, one where they believe that if you behave a certain way towards others, your life in turn will be better as well. Japan is right to discourage foreigners from moving and living there. Those sorts of social contracts only work when everyone is on the same page.
It was equally a pity when they minimized them on the left in the last few years, wouldn’t you agree?
Agreed. It's the corporate equivalent of sinning left and right 6 days a week, then going into the confession booth on Sunday and getting asked to recite a couple of Hail Mary's.
Silicon Valley is like a creepy and terrible suitor, never knowing what "no" means or letting its counterparty express "no". It's always "ask me later".

Are there any footguns to be aware of when integrating PostgREST with an existing “low-JS” Django project, do you know? I’m considering it for headless access to an existing Django-ORM managed Postgres instance by a data orchestrator (i.e., not for the web UI). I’d like to be able to keep using Django auth in particular and just wondering if there’s any risk of impedance mismatch (in which case I’ll probably go with django-ninja).
There's a ton of sites that ISPs wouldn't sell service to if it wasn't for Cloudflare making it difficult to determine where those sites were. It's basically /dev/null for abuse reports.

> But being someone who HATES trump as much as they hate Hamas is a bit lonely

Sometimes I genuinely feel like the world is being shoved into some manufactured simulacrum where we must reside in one of the two arbitrarily binary political camp. You must either be a maga loyalist and bow to the russian overlord, or be a "liberal" and unconditionally accept islamists as victims of oppression and hamas is the final solution.
You mean like the big ugly boxes on cigarettes?
When issues happen, it is almost never just one person's fault.

Just trace the Whys:

1) Why did the bug happen? These lines of code
2) Why wasn't that caught by tests? The test was broken / didn't exist
3) How was the code submitted without a test? The reviewer didn't call it out.

Arguing about percentages doesn't matter. What matters is fixing the team process so this doesn't happen again. This means formally documented standards for test coverage and education and building team culture so people understand why it's important.

It's not "just the author's fault". That kind of blame game is toxic to teams.
You know this was happening before elon bought Twitter, right? Secretly?

Members of congress were texting and emailing with execs from Twitter and Facebook to request post suppression. During an election.
I use both, but I wish FF had an easier to way setup "custom" searches, like:

bg3 foo => searches on the baldurs gate 3 wiki

It can be done, but it's far too difficult.
Containers are the absolute bomb though.
Mandatory registration doesn’t necessarily means costs.

I once had a 3D model viewer that needed a free online activation but the machine didn’t had internet access, so I flipped the assembly instruction from if registered start to if not registered start.
Whatever makes Open AI enough money?
Of course one can just ask the LLM for the output probability. It will give a reasonably calibrated output, typically a multiple of 0.05. I would ask it for an integer percentage though.
I don’t think the “not having an actual value until measured”, properly understood, would seem like an optimization.

I don’t know why so many people feel like it would be an optimization?

Storing a position is a lot cheaper than storing an amplitude for each possible position.

One-hot vectors are much more compressible than general vectors, as you can just store the index.

Also, it is momentum and position that are conjugate, not momentum and speed.
So what you tryna say, man.

"just feeling like it" seems insufficient explanation for dismantling a successful organization rather than transitioning it

they just completed their "pipeline of ideas" with "the last Ponzi cases" - seems like a surprisingly clean and abrupt end for an investigative organization

the team members are "brilliant" and "family to me" but heis disbanding rather than transitioning leadership

He mentions some team members are starting their own research firm but he "will have no personal involvement" That emphasis seems noteworthy

Claims there's "no particular threat" but takes pains to emphasize this multiple times

instead of maintaining the organization and training successors directly, he's planning to release videos and materials about their methods

No mention of the firm's financial position or client relationships

Not buying it, there's a story but it doesnt seem like he wants to tell it
Meta.ai got it right. The free chatGPT only has data up till 2021 or something like that.
Usually constraints are financial related. It takes money to do all that and public works is not some big tech company
According to OpenAI you're not even allowed to use GPT output to train a competing model, so they believe that AI models are the only thing worthy of protection from being trained on. Llama used to have a similar clause, which was partially walked back to "you must credit us if you train on Llama output" in later versions, but that's still a double standard since they don't credit anything that Llama was trained on. For obvious reasons now we know that Zuck personally greenlit feeding it pirated books.

Netflix has the "would we rehire this person?" Every year, but people are smart and game the system.

The story of Sun Tzu using the emperor's concubines to demonstrate military discipline is one of the most famous anecdotes from The Art of War.

When Sun Tzu was summoned by King Helü of Wu to prove his military theories, the king challenged him to demonstrate his strategies using the palace concubines as soldiers. Sun Tzu divided the concubines into two groups and appointed the king's two favorite concubines as their leaders. He then explained the orders clearly and ensured they were understood.

When the exercise began, the concubines laughed and did not follow the orders. Sun Tzu stopped the exercise and said that if instructions are not clear, it is the fault of the commander. He repeated the instructions, ensuring they were understood again. However, when the concubines laughed and failed to obey a second time, Sun Tzu stated that if orders are clear and not followed, it is the fault of the leaders.

He then executed the two leaders, despite them being the king's favorites. This shocked the king, but Sun Tzu insisted that discipline was essential in any army. After the execution, the remaining concubines obeyed his commands with perfect discipline, demonstrating the effectiveness of his methods.
The broad outlines of the deal as well as all the work in pushing together the various parties is from Brett McGurk and his team, and he deserves the lion's share of the credit. That being said, there's probably some contribution as to the timing of the US inauguration, and Trump giving the nod to Steve Witkoff throw support behind McGurk, though.
