If he consistently avoids dressing warm the human body is pretty adaptable to cold conditions so I wouldn't look to deep at that. Both a persons circulatory pattern and metabolism change when exposed to the cold, and people who expose themselves to cold consistently enough respond in far better ways. Their metabolism will shoot up near immediately when someone not adapted will only gain that after they are already cold and shivering. And blood flow is maintained to the extremities but just avoiding more of the skin's surface, where as the unadapted will have just a general decrease in bloodflow to that entire extremity.

If you go extreme enough humans can even walk barefoot through the snow without a problem all day without a real problem, where as someone who wears socks and shoes when it is freezing cold will get serious frostbite on their feet in like 30 minutes or less if they tried it without adapting themselves over time.

For a direct application of this, ice climbers will soak their hands in ice water for 45 minutes every day in the weeks leading up to a climb so that their hands don't freeze and maintain blood flow when on an ice climb, because obviously you can't just stop and warm up your hands by a fire when you are halfway up a frozen waterfall and having stiff or frostbitten fingers makes climbing more difficult/dangerous.
I tried that that: ~1.5 to 3 tokens/sec.
As satisfying as it is to point at local first software and say they forgotten history, it’s important to remember that a lot of development happens where the friction is lowest.

The target platform for many local first apps is browser because you don’t have to mess with EXE/DMG/AppImages.

The goal is to ship, not to ship the most efficient application possible.
I don't see anything there that's fundamentally changed.

Yes, I rather think that's the point. And this is clearly the point at the party where I find an excuse to move on from the very earnest person who's decided that something is wrong on the internet and say "sure man...good luck with that".

Good luck with that.

Hello!

Congrats on getting a proof-of-concept working in this space, especially as young as you are. That's awesome!

However, I would strongly suggest putting a large disclaimer at the very top of this project making clear that it has not undergone rigorous security analysis. Just looking very briefly at the code, the encryption is a hand-rolled XOR cipher directly using a user-provided 10-byte key (keylength being hard-coded).

This is definitely not secure against any, even minimally motivated/aware attacker.

All the best,

> Trouble is, when the company deliberately ties one hand behind its back by insisting on camera-only vision, it is never going to be perfect at not hitting stuff.

I have a Y with FSD. I think that underplays it a little. Yes, they don't have LIDAR, but LIDAR is very expensive and fragile. I can understand that.

But they also removed the windscreen rain sensors in favour of using the cameras. Consequently you can be driving down the highway on a clear day, and the windscreen wipers will start. They also don't have ultrasonic distance sensors. Consequently the car won't warn you about short bollards at the corners of the car. It seems to be completely unaware of them.

Unlike LIDAR these sensors cost almost nothing, and these are high end cars. Keeping them until they have the camera version reliable would seem prudent. In fact they could have used them to improve the camera version, by say comparing what the rain sensor said to the camera output. It's seems like they've allowed an AI religion to cloud their engineering decisions.

Mazda is also minority-owned by Mitsubishi Group and Toyota Group and co-owns plenty of plants with Toyota, so it's a different story from Nissan Group which retains independence.

At this point, Mazda is an OEM for Toyota Group, and previously they were an OEM for Ford.

No, what actually happened is that the people you are calling the cultists coined the term alignment, which then got appropriated by the AI labs.

But the genesis of the term "alignment" (as applied to AI) is a side issue. What is important is that reinforcement learning with human feedback and the other techniques used on the current crop of AIs to make it less likely that the AI will say things that embarass the owner of the AI are fundamentally different from making sure the an AI that turns out more capable than us will not kill us all or do something else awful.
Uh, Either my understanding of Bazel is wrong, or everything you wrote is wrong.

Bazel absolutely prevents network access and filesystem access (reads) from builds. (only permitting explicit network includes from the WORKSPACE file, and access to files explicitly depended on in the BUILD files).

Maybe you can write some “rules_” for languages that violate this, but it is designed purposely to be hermetic and bit-perfect reproducible.

EDIT:

From the FAQ[0]:

> Will Bazel make my builds reproducible automatically?

> For Java and C++ binaries, yes, assuming you do not change the toolchain.

The issues with Docker's style of "reproducible" (meaning.. consistent environment; are also outlined in the same FAQ[1]

> Doesn’t Docker solve the reproducibility problems?

> Docker does not address reproducibility with regard to changes in the source code. Running Make with an imperfectly written Makefile inside a Docker container can still yield unpredictable results.

You are optimistic. The supporters of Trump and his ilk ignore consistency as a rule. The exact same thing they insisted trump will never do so it's okay for him to be in power, they will then insist that actually no it's a good thing trump is doing that.

They opt in to a media environment wholly held by Rupert Murdoch, Elon, and Trump. They reject any reporting from other groups on principle. They keep saying "I haven't seen any <blank>" for any of the awful ideas this admin has because they literally don't see anything Fox News and friends haven't shown them. They get marching orders, not information.

Christ, it was only a few years ago that they insisted that Roe V Wade was "settled law" and totally safe and nobody wants to ban abortion and within a month of the lawsuit being brought, the entire narrative had switched to full bore "umm actually it's really bad ruling so we should get rid of it even though we make no effort to protect abortion rights also abortion is bad"

The true believers in Germany took until the red army was in berlin before they really fucking got that the Nazis had filled them with lies, were utterly incompetent, and had thrown millions of their best boys to die for a conspiracy theory. I hope it's also clear from things going on in germany right now, plenty of true believers didn't even figure it out then!

If trump continues Project 2025, you WILL be hearing how women are actually too hormonal and emotional to manage money and shouldn't be allowed to have credit cards. You WILL be hearing about how single mothers shouldn't be allowed to raise kids and so we should end no fault divorce.
Am I correct in thinking that FPGAs have an advantage over software emulators when it comes to latency? In particular the latency from the host operating system before input has even been received by the software emulator? I.e. FPGAs don't have a host OS and will have the same latency as original hardware?

This is very much a genuine question, I just want to know if my intuition about this is right or wrong.

Your project looks amazing btw!

You’re thinking legacy. In our new Italian Fascist/Peronist governance model, maximizing return on assets for our cronies is the priority. The regulatory infrastructure that fostered both good and bad aspects of the last 75 years is being destroyed and will not return.

Nationalizing telecom is a great way to reward the tech oligarchs by making the capital investments in giant data centers more valuable. If 10 gig can be delivered cheaply over the air, those hyperscale data centers will end up obsolete if technology continues to advance at the current pace. Why would the companies that represent 30% of the stock markets value want that?
Say more. What do you mean by "platform exploit", and which brokers are you talking about? I am immediately skeptical, but it should be easy to knock me down on this.
I’ve read this thread with familiarity and empathy and want to say: some people here are describing symptoms of PTSD. A traumatic event, however brief, can cause lasting repercussions in our body and mind. If you find yourself listless, ruminating over the event, scared, over-reactive, walking through a fog — and it goes on and you seemingly don’t get better — this is exactly what PTSD feels like.

The initial conditions don’t have to be war or child abuse. A car accident can cause it. A variant, Complex-PTSD, is often caused by traumatic events over time that cannot be escaped, like caring for a dying loved one.

It’s dangerous to you and it can be hard to treat, but it often is treatable. The best thing I’ve read about it (and boy, have I read a lot about this) is The Body Keeps the Score — https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-th.... Pete Walker also has published several books, and has many important and useful writings on his website — https://www.pete-walker.com/

PTSD doesn’t go away. You just cover it up until it explodes again. Please, if you think this is you, read more and try to get some help.
You're getting bad 5G. I use 5G for home internet. It's perfect except for pings.
That's simply factually untrue, and even some of the people who have become apocalypse cultists used "alignment" in the original sense before coming to advocate apocalypse as the only issue of concern.

> wasn't this a DMA patch?

Although it was a DMA patch, it was not in the DMA subsystem that Christoph maintains. More specifically, it was not a file in the kernel/dma directory, but rather a file in the rust/kernel directory, which is where the Rust subsystem lives.

The Rust code is essentially a consumer of the DMA public API, much like many other subsystems in the kernel that consume it.

This is why some people are upset and confused about the situation; he added a Nacked-by tag to a patch that is outside his area. He had good reasons for it, but it was hard to see them based on the way he wrote his replies.
This looks to me like they originally made it available for free and then changed their mind. The developer is well within their right to do so, but don't be surprised that people find it confusing and try to avoid paying for it.

I just wrote a book (released yesterday!), Effective Visualization, that takes almost the opposite approach. Follow well-known patterns and know your audience. That should guide you to telling a good story.

It can look pretty, but making it art for the sake of art probably won't resonate with your audience.

This is one of those times where "I bet you're fun at parties" is a perfectly justified response to the (G?)GP [1]. This story is funny, well-written, succinct. Liz would be a hit at parties. GP would not be invited again.

The dictatorship, the genocide, the communism--these are small things that can be overlooked if necessary to secure leadership that's committed to what really matters, which is.... signing pointless declarations.

The psychadelic effects of this particular drug is so overwhelmingly, convincingly powerful that it's hard for me to imagine anyone who actually took it describing it as "romanticized". Words cannot accurately describe how convincingly powerful the visual hallucinations are. None of the T-shirts or album covers do the actual experience justice.

To your point about expectations; Related story: One time me and my friends got some and we were supposed to wait for a friend to get out of work before we all took it together. We couldn't wait, and passed around the tin foil containing the stuff and we each took our hits. I was last, I bought 2 hits and there were 2 tabs on the foil. So I took both of them and threw the empty foil away. 20 minutes later someone comes to me looking for the foil, because it supposably still contained 2 tabs for my friend who was on his way. It turns out that I accidentally took the 2 hits that I bought AND the 2 hits that my friend bought (the 2 tabs in the foil represented 4 hits total). I still had his tab on my tongue, so I removed it and put it back in the foil. It was totally cooked. When my friend came over, we didn't tell him and he took the his empty tabs and insisted all night that he was tripping sack, sometimes embarrassingly so. Meanwhile I was rocked out of my gourd.

Why you don't find a direct download link on the upstream site https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ is because:

- I earn my leaving from imapsync buyers but less likely on donators, as a measured fact.

- Donations work 1/100 less than payments, ie, for $1 from donators I get $100 of buyers.

- I don't make the github release, Nicolas does, and Nicolas doesn't include the .exe binary in the repository, it is a common rule in free and open source software guidelines. I do not blame Nicolas about this.

- Nicolas does a good job, a basic copy of imapsync mainstream repository where releasecheck is off and whatever he wants, like exe trash, I'm ok with that.

To answer your questions:

- Windows binary exe is here in the zip file: https://imapsync.lamiral.info/dist/

- Don't worry, my income won't suffer, as people don't read. The no-dowload link on the main imapsync web site is just a payment incentive. It works. It works enough to make me concentrate my work life on imapsync and their users.

How to you prevent advancements in software? The barrier to entry is so low, you just need a cheap laptop and an internet connection and then day 1 you're right on the cutting edge driving innovation. Current AI requires a lot of hardware for training but anyone with a laptop and inet connection can still do cutting edge research and innovate with architectures and algorithms.

If a law is passed saying "AI advancement is illegal" how can it ever be enforced?

Thanks a lot for your feedback! You’re absolutely right about the security disclaimer, so I’ve added a big, clear warning at the top of the project to make sure everyone knows it’s just a proof-of-concept and not meant for serious use. Really appreciate you pointing that out!

By the way, have you had a chance to try the program out? I’d love to know what you think about it—like, is the concept cool or useful in any way, even with its limitations? And if you’ve got any ideas on how to make it better (aside from the encryption stuff), I’m all ears!

This is mostly a learning project for me, so any thoughts or suggestions you have would be awesome. Thanks again for taking the time to comment—it means a lot!

There can be different views on this, I guess.

Apple is known to like to exercise control and to keep their ecosystem closed (recall that Jobs was initially AGAINST the AppStore concept entirely, which was invented by someone else and now makes a ton of money for Apple).

Open systems with little control lead to a bazar like the various Linux distros with inconsistent-looking and buggy apps mixed with great apps - anything goes.

Imagine you are Apple and you want your AppStore to convey a professional and

everyone wants to complain about inefficant government.

"In 2021, administrative costs for traditional Medicare were $10.8 billion, which was 1.3% of total program spending"

"According to most estimates, the average administrative cost for insurance companies in the United States falls between 12% and 18% of their total revenue, with some sources stating that private health insurers specifically spend around 17% on administrative costs"

The cost of capital for insurance companies can vary depending on the line of business and market conditions, but generally falls within a range of 8% to 12%; with profits typically ranging from 2% to 10% of revenue, meaning most insurance companies aim for a net profit margin within this range.

I don't disagree, but I'd say there's not really a big problem with people or kids trying to eat flowers. Foxglove and solomon's seal are dangerous but they also don't grow where I'm at. Lilies and morning glory do grow here, and they are also not terribly dangerous to humans (without eating a lot of them.)

Where I'm at, particularly in the suburbs, there's a distinct lack of things that are tempting to eat (like a berry) and also poisonous.
You describe my childhood in USSR. I don't see it repeating at any meaningful scale.
