I understand that it's easiest to associate all those achievements with Musk, but he didn't do any of those things. He isn't a specialist in EVs (or even a founder of Tesla, he came in long after it started), he's not a rocketry expert, etc. He's just a business guy. There are plenty of business guys out there.

DevKit is completely optional.

The language server is part of the SDK itself. The language server integration, debugger and all the features that make VS Code a good tool to write C# in are a part of base C# extension which is MIT-licensed and has no commercial restrictions whatsoever.

The only "wart" is that "vsdbg" - debugger it ships with is closed-source because it is essentially the same debugger as in Visual Studio but extracted into a standalone cross-platform component. There is an open alternative "NetCoreDbg" used by the extension fork for VSCodium (and various DAP bridges to Neovim, Emacs, etc.).

I think there are maybe two exceptions to the "no dev will suggest Oracle": Java (but you use a JVM maintained by someone else) and MySQL (unfortunately a requirement for certain combinations of languages and frameworks).

I also remember reading about Oracle's RHEL clone (Oracle Linux) supposedly bring quite good for running on MacBooks in a VM because it comes with all the emulation libraries and stuff preconfigured? Nothing you can't do on Alma or Rocky but you'd need to configure it yourself.

No business should ever make the mistake of signing a contract with Oracle, though. Their sales team is just a customer facing extension of their main business: their legal team.

That assumes his salute was a deliberate, calculated act rather than an impulsive gesture in the heat of the moment. Given his visit to Auschwitz, his public statements, his pro-immigration stance, and his numerous Jewish friends and colleagues, there’s far more evidence suggesting he is not a Nazi than the opposite.

(spoilers)

It was really good at building up a mystery over the course of the first season, but I've been a little disappointed in the second so far.

The pacing's become glacial; the first couple of episodes worked mostly to undercut the dramatic significance of the events of last season's finale.

And I feel like the way that the satire is slowly being replaced by self-serious "lore" is hurting the show; it was very funny and disturbing to see the way the innies are "raised" in a cult and view the CEO as a kind of Messiah (and observe the parallels to real-world corporate culture); Lumen really being an evil cult - as opposed to just an evil company - in "reality", feels less satirical and more ham-fisted.

The ending of the most recent episode suggests promising things to come at least.
This has no chance of passing. Reform is out of the question. This is just navel gazing. Get it through your skulls that reform is impossible at this point, and accept the implications of that.
It's not regional. The rental is $15-25/mo these days. You might be grandfathered in.

If you choose the $25/mo option, you don't have have to pay to waive the monthly data cap.
The Tyranny of Simple Explanations
Agreed with the article, but to add to:

> The ability to update the firmware may also be locked down. You should have full control over firmware updates.

Bizarrely, for DOCSIS modems, even if you buy your own modem, the ISP has control over firmware! They can (and do) push any arbitrary firmware to your modem. The manufacturers go along with this for some reason.

So make sure to separate your modem and router too.
I did something vaguely similar using a discord bot and Whisper https://github.com/volker48/disco-whisper
I live in SF and Comcast doesn't charge me to have my own router.

I pay $130 for 1.4gbit and unlimited data. It's expensive but I also have no other choices. Sonic stops only one block over and we haven't been able to convince them to wire up my block.
>Presumably it’s also your responsibility to pick and maintain a working self driving system.

I guess it's reasonable to say I should apply updates and get the car serviced and make sure the sensors are not obstructed, yes. Then the difference between "self driving" and "assisting" technology would be a matter of guarantee the manufacturer advertises.

Would it (hypothetically) be reasonable for me to expect that the thing will suddenly break on a highway in normal conditions without anything obstructing the way forward? No, I don't think so. Can I do something to prevent it or foresee it, except not using the self-driving technology at all? Can I choose to have a different self-driving tech installed in my car and retrain the model or control it's behavior in any way at all?

There are different answers to that and I guess the answers will also change over time.
Based on a video of a mouse I saw, I'd describe perfluorocarbon breathing more as you can drown in it and not die.. it definitely did not look pleasant.
Honestly, I only thought about the models, assuming that work that uses them, will also inevitably be incorporated into them. But maybe it is a good idea to actually include the produced works. It could create a nice incentive for rich corps to pay artists to create something AI free / copyleft free.

If we could extract correct attribution and even licensing out of work that was produced with AI, I don't think it would help that much. I would even assume that especially in this case the rich would profit the most. They wouldn't care having to pay thousands of artists for the pixels they provided to their AI generated blockbuster movie. It would effectively exclude the poor from using AI for compliance reasons. Or even worse rich corps monopolize the training data and then they can create content practically for free, while indies cannot use AI because they would have to pay traditional prices or give the rich corps money for indirectly using their training data.
It is so Apple, though. I can hear Craig's inflection just reading the sentence.
EU Copyright law actually seems to have you covered already.

EU Digital Single Market Directive (2019/790) Art 3 and 4 allow text and data mining. Art 3 for scientific purposes, Art 4 more in general.

Now, some people argue that AI models are somehow compressed databases of the data that was crawled; but that seems patently ridiculous to me - so this should be sufficient.(at least mathematically) (IANAL) (famous last words)
>So we’re sol?

According to the estimates, it's only a risk within the next 10 years.

Apparently more data needs to come in before there's no longer any risk, but a certainty within a reasonably understandable timeframe instead.
It's a "fact" sheet. Why would you not attack the facts? Seems pretty easy to prove your claims.
If the content of the commit is too small to be meaningful, the commit is too small. Either wait until you’ve done more before committing, or rebase -i before pushing your branch and merge up any piecemeal commits into better sized ones that communicate a story.

Keeping that metadata in tickets means that it can’t be read within ‘git blame’. It’s also all too easy for it to be lost entirely when changing ticketing systems, transferring codebases between teams or companies, etc.
> Call your representatives

This is a very US-style approach; nobody calls their "representatives" in Europe, unluckily.
I believe the folks in MDR are working on refining artificial consciousness.

I also believe the people in R&D help with refinement by inducing objects into the consciousness and testing the output via 3D printing.

Perhaps MDR works on the emotional side, while R&D works on the imagination or construction of thoughts.
I think our IP laws are optimized to maximize benefits for the legal system.
I had more swelling on surface tablets than on any other product. It’s insane how common it is.
7-Zip can apply a BCJ filter before LZMA to more effectively compress x86 binaries. https://www.7-zip.org/7z.html. Btrfs’ transparent compression feature checks if the first block compressed well; if not it gives up for the rest of the file.
When would anyone with even one of those questions ever be in the market for a Surface Pro?
Watch the salute videos from all angles, including the contorting he does of his face into a look very much not of love.

Then watch the videos from the past where he reaches out from his heart and lack of facial contortions. There is zero similarity between his past 'from my heart' and his salutes.

Then put his salute videos next to nazi salutes and try to find the difference. Look at the un-natural elbow position, unnatural finger placement, straight rigid wrist, the angels, un-natural timing of the movement.
> Data isn’t the ultimate fact check

But it is. Numbers can be twisted, but it they can easily be verified. Bias, bad sources and cherry picking can allow you to tell stories, but the data will allow you to verify those stories are indeed facts. Brain can’t really fact check things that don’t have any data.
> At this point it's a dying language.

I disagree.

You’d need to upgrade the account to a paid one (there will be no charges anyway if you stay within free limits of the ARM offer), which unlocks a different pool to spin up a server in.
While this pattern shows the inconsistency between how humans and AI are treated, there have been many examples over history where the ability to do at an increased scale something that was already familiar, results in the law being changed.

Shining a torch at a plane is usually fine, shining a laser at them usually is a crime.
Sorry, no. The constitution matters and democracy matters. We do not have a system of governance by credentialed technocrats. Those people are absolutely necessary. But they must abide by democratic values. Their job is to put their talents to work implementing the agenda of the guy people elected to set policies, no matter who wins. It’s like a lawyer representing a client. You owe the voting public—through the president duly elected to represent it—zealously advocacy, regardless of your personal opinions.

It is unconscionable to have a system where the federal workforce enthusiastically implements the policies of the president from one party, but hinders the policies of the other. And to be clear, I don’t think most federal employees think this way. I think most federal employees, especially the old school ones, see it as their duty to do their job the best they can regardless of who sets the policy. So I was shocked and upset by what I saw in 2017. Not just that a vocal minority of federal employees declared they were bad at their jobs and disloyal to the duly elected president. But moreso because the silent majority of good federal employees stood quiet and didn’t say anything.
iirc there's multiple idioms that are used in different cases. i recall a nice github that laid them all out with use cases but I can't find it
Sadly I am not able to outright get ride of my ISP router. I am here in Canada on Shaw, well it recently was taken over by Rogers, and we can not just use our own. We can put the modem into bridge mode and connect to it but not get ride of it completely. I am not sure if bridge mode would stop much of the security concerns but my gut says no.
My theory is kind of the inverse. Their technology has the ability to "take over" the mind and implant a new personality but maybe at the current level it's unsophisticated and all they can do is make a "clean slate" of a person with some basic motor, language and other socialization skills.

"The work" is then not about training a computer model but seeing if they can induce a reaction into a person. That is, they're trying to refine their mind control program.

The characters talk about feeling things when they group numbers for binning. So the task is about refining their projection system, to induce a particular emotion or reaction, in a controlled way, over and over to dial in the technology.

From season 1, there's lore of MDR going crazy and killing a neighboring group. This could be when their experimentation malfunctioned or was too sloppy in some way and induced a killing frenzy.

I have no idea what "cold harbor" is though, or why Mark S. is so special among the other innies.

The Implementation of This Site
*Avoid ISP Routers wherever possible.

Sometimes they just don't allow you to use it. In the past I've had ISP router that had a heavily restricted custom firmware on it and a "hidden" username password setup for authorizing with the ISP. I couldn't use my own.

In that situation I had to aim to use it as the modem and have a second router it unloaded to. Not ideal.

Now I can freely pick hardware with my current ISP. Just need to find the time/money to upgrade to fibre everywhere to capitalize on the 10Gb/s.
The option for a single renewal for 14 more years doesn't strike me as onerous. It makes a concession for the "audience hasn't made you rich in the first 14 years" and is still light years ahead of the current de facto infinite duration.

It won't ever change, though. No chance ever. Other than to be actually made infinite. The nature of "intellectual property" and money being speech in US politics locks that in.
Darwin on How to Evolve Your Imagination
You could argue that 14 years is a little short, especially for books which can get adaptations that pay more than the book. OTOH preventing adaptations stifles things. Imagine if Tolkein had managed to lock down his orcs and elves like Disney locked down the mouse.

I think 20 or 30 years is fairer. But IIRC it's not about fair, the Constitution says that it should only be to encourage innovation, and long copyright inhibits innovation.
Read accounts from the people that were with him on his visit to Auschwitz. It was purely PR. Remember he was kind of forced into because he was being perceived as far right. He didn't just go because he morally thought it was something he should do, he went for PR to rehab his image.

Actually playing around with it the behavior was very different from what I expected - there was much more zooming. Turns out I missed some parts of the zoom code:

Their zoom actually is my "y" rather than a scale factor, so the metric is ds^2 = dy^2 + (C-y)^2 dx^2 where C is a bit more than the maximal zoom level. There is some special handling for cases where their curve would want to zoom out further.

Normalizing to the same cost to pan all the way zoomed out (zoom=1), their cost for panning is basically flat once you are very zoomed in, and more than the hyperbolic model when relatively zoomed out. I think this contributes to short distances feeling like the viewport is moving very fast (very little advantage to zooming out) vs basically zooming out all the way over larger distances (intermediate zoom levels are penalized, so you might as well go almost all the way).

CLS was roughly designed to measure annoyingness in terms of "moving layout elements". I'm sure Google has even more nuanced signals to measure e.g. ad coverage vs content coverage
This is neat, but the technology itself isn't "new": the basic idea has been around for decades, and I've seen videos from companies demonstrating this at trade shows for a while as well. This is also how Firefly Aerospace 3d-prints their rockets.
The crappiness of national ISPs is a feature, not a bug. ISPs have lobbied at state and federal levels to get their way. In many states, they have lobbied _for_ the ban of municipal ISPs.

Then between major ISPs they have under the table agreements to avoid competing in certain areas. This impacts all types of residential areas - suburban, urban, and rural. I believe it’s much worse in rural areas.

Why bother with providing good customer service or improving? They know you have no other choice.

Cellular networks functioning as ISPs have provided _some_ relief in this aspect but comes with its own drawbacks (congestion can get bad and you get throttled, and latency tends to be shitty all around).

The ideal municipal ISP I have seen is in Chattanooga TN. They (EPB) offer _residential_ customers symmetrical access starting at 1000 Mbps, up to 25,000Mbps. [1]

The 1gig plan is cheaper than GFi er and 2.5G plan is competitive.

Plus this money is kept within the ecosystem of this area. Creates high paying jobs. Profits reinvested into network rather than stock buybacks or some C-level executive that “super commutes” in a private jet.

If this were limited to China and Mexico, the fentanyl thing might have been a rational argument. Adding Canada, which is the source of a vanishingly small amount, betrays the lie.

Am I the only person in this world who is an accomplished engineer and thinks commit messages are worthless? That if I want to roll back or dissect, I do it at the PR and not individual commit level?

The need for very accurate comment messages occurs so rarely in my workflow that the value of crafting them correctly is not there.

I ask honestly: Am I missing something here? Why? Is it something peculiar to my workflow I'm missing?

A great example of superficially smart people creating echo chambers which then turn sour, but they can't escape. There's a very good reason that, "Buying your own press" is a cliched pejorative, and this is an extreme end of that. More generally it's just a depressing example of how rationalism in the LW sense has become a sort of cult-of-cults, with the same old existential dread packaged in a new "rational" form. No god here, just really unstable people.
You're supposed to add "reddit" to Google searches to make them work well.

The punchline is that you can kill somebody in California using a car, claim pedal confusion, and all else being equal, you will face no criminal consequences. You will almost never be financially ruined either. The point of this comparison is that California assembly members write a lot of bills, but they rarely seem to find bandwidth for addressing any of its numerous crises of direct responsibility. It's always some fashionable bullshit.
