So I've read the CCPA again, and I've realized that Mozilla may have made an error in quoting the relevant part of the law in their blog. This part they quoted:

> As an example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) defines “sale” as the “selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable consideration.”

Is actually from a draft. The final version of the CCPA removed the "another business" part which was a drafting error as covered by this article from the IAPP: https://iapp.org/news/a/ccpa-cpras-hidden-third-party-busine...

I will cut Mozilla some slack here because they probably have taken the supposed final text of the CCPA from Wikipedia's article of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California_Consum... (and the website in the infobox still links to when it was an Assembly Bill at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...)

This is the true final definition of "sale" in California's privacy law: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

Anyway even then I'm not sure if the Foundation would've been considered "another business", since "business" is defined first as any "legal entity that is organized or operated for the profit or financial benefit of its shareholders or other owners", which MoFo clearly doesn't do. There's the second definition might've covered the Foundation (since they control the Corporation which is covered by the first definition), but AFAIK the Corp doesn't share any consumer personal info back into the Foundation (if it does that would be concerning)
You could help dozens of people, at best.

$15 mil to shame the Chinese Govt (among others) to action and encourage citizen discontent was a bargain.

You couldnt possibly run an ad campaign to tell 1 billion people their govt was lying for less than $15mil.
I don’t see that graph anywhere on the Wikipedia page

I do see other graphs that tell a different story. Namely, that confidence is a monotonically increasing function of competence. If the data supports the idea that there is a valley of despair where confidence decreases as competence increases, I must be missing it.

If you're hitting a hard "wall" either some concepts are not being taught effectively, or there are some undetected gaps in your previous learning that make some things difficult to understand for you. There's nothing specifically about precalc that makes it inherently harder than, e.g. Algebra II or whatever if the teaching is effective. So being able to access alternate sources of understanding, such as Khan Academy or the Math Academy OP talks about, can be especially important.

Moving through the curriculum faster is a common approach but it's also risky, because that's how the gaps are created that can then hinder your understanding later. Of course if you have reached true mastery of a given topic, moving forward is preferable to being bored to death, but assessing whether that applies can also be difficult at times.
Out of curiosity, do you recall seeing a "county map" of the blue votes in the 2020 election?

The real economic shift will be toward non-digital, real-world human experiences, things AI cannot replicate, like hands-on service, emotional connection, and physical interaction, making them the most valuable assets in the AI-driven era.

Yeah, they've been on my podcast subscription list for at least 5 years now, and I'll miss having them around.

I had growing conflicted feelings about the site's overall impact on media, sadly. It felt like, although it was good that they existed as a dedicated organization, they contributed to (or were a symptom of) the overall media landscape's slide into politics coverage as mostly coverage of the horse-race. Sometimes I want to hear what the Scottish teens think a news story means... but more often I want something deeply reported about policy.
There are some other common types:

* People who think a phone is a boring generic device, and it doesn't make sense to prefer any particular brand or pay more than $X.

* People who are used to Android and have better things to do than migrating to another ecosystem.

In the past, the lack of proper dual-SIM iPhones was a common enough reason to prefer Android. But it's less of an issue today, as eSIMs have become mainstream.
So much for my hopes that having paid features would make them enough money to keep them from doing something like this.
You're thinking about the bolt factory that will open, but what about the factories that close? Putting, as you say, businesses in peril, gets rid of jobs.

eGPU has a ton of issues on MacOS - I've used it for years, but now on Silicon its prob much worse - but let me give a shout out to the amazing (somewhat new) High Performance screen sharing mode added in Sonoma.

When I connect to my Mac Studio via Macbook I can select that mode, then change the Displays setting to Dynamic Resolution and then my 'thin client':

- Is fullscreen using the entire 16:10 Macbook screen

- Gets 60 fps low latency performance (including on actual games)

- Transfers audio, I can attend meetings in this mode

- Blanks the host Mac Studio screen

All things that were impossible via VNC - RDP is much better but this new High Performance Screen Share is even more powerful.

The thin lightweight laptop that remotes into a loaded machine has always been my idea of high mobility instead of suffering a laptop running everything locally. This works via LTE as well with some firewall setup.

> The problem is that there are less farmers and we don't know what to do with the former farmers that we don't need anymore

The US is way past that point, being down to under 2% farmers. China is mostly past that point, at 17% farmers as of 2017 and dropping. India is being hit hard by that, with 43% farmers. Their farmers are fighting farm mechanization.

In a dump like this, why would anyone truat that any given part of it is authentic? I could tell some great lies by embedding disinformation in a disseminated data dump like this.
I feel like it really depends on how you introduce the questions. Lost made a big thing out of some of them in a way, which can be annoying. On the other hand, twin peaks made some things just a part of the world. What are owls? I don't know, but the fact they're something else is interesting and that's fine.
You mean the big cos that develop all those LLMs and robots that we give free pass for profiting by slowly killing programming/intellectual/creative jobs with ML trained on our work, you will be totally safe from them if you do farming?

That requires an otherwise equivalent PC to exist. I haven’t seen anyone name a PC with a half-TB of unified memory in this thread.

Yeah it’s $4k. Yeah that’s nuts. But it’s the only game in town like that. If the replacement is a $40k setup from Nvidia or whatever that’s a bargain.

TLDR: The "OR" was a drafting error that Mozilla erroneously quoted. The final text of the CCPA removed the "another business" part.

I’m guessing they might be thinking long training jobs as opposed to model use in an end product if done sort.
Why do you think senior managers would replace themselves if they could? Given the choice between saving a company and giving a senior manager slightly more money or power, the senior manager will always win.
IMO they had plans for a Mac Pro chip that didn’t work out, so they released the M2 version to let their Mac Pro customers know that they’re still committed to the product in the Apple Silicon era.

Appreciate it. That kind of freedom has to be powerful! I suspect I have to learn to be not so nice, and not fear change, to aim for that level.
I don’t personally recall, but it’s kind of a silly idea to break down presidential votes by county anyway. At least counting states matters legally in elections. And counting people matters as a way to judge desires and sentiments.

Counting by counties combines the unrepresentativeness of the Electoral College with the legal irrelevance of the popular vote.
> we could possibly buy the French equivalents, but they would probably not fit/work with the existing UK subs. Or we could build own, at enormous cost.

Another alternative is enter some cooperation agreement with France, and build SLBMs based on the current French M51s for both countries, using factories in both countries.

It's thinking like you espoused in that last sentence that lead to waste and fraud. "it's like a dime compared to our budget, what's the big deal?"

It's pretty disgusting to demand a domestic crackdown on your political opponents because of the 'threat' posed by an extremist group that you are covertly funding, training, and controlling, which is what happened with Azov.
OpenAI is a financial black hole, burning cash faster than it can raise it, with a business model built on hype and a product (ChatGPT) that's easily commoditized. Their revenue projections are delusional, and the core API business is surprisingly weak, suggesting the entire generative AI market might be overblown.

There's an obvious incentive for someone with the power to raise and lower markets at will to repeatedly do so.

Chip? Yes. Product? Not necessarily...

It's not completely out of the question that the 512gb version of M3 Ultra was built for their internal Apple silicon servers powering Private Compute Cloud, but not intended for consumer release, until a compelling use case suddenly arrived.

I don't _think_ this is what happened, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it impossible.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

You'll note that the distribution mode for a Trump win was 312 electoral votes; which is what he got. They do a good forecast - it suggests there was a 50-50 chance Trump wins, and if he wins the most likely outcome is ... exactly what happened.

If it was a Harris win the best bet is she would have gotten 319 electoral votes with high correlation in the swing states too.
>setting it to short intervals eventually causes issues, because it fills up your router's routing tables and eventually causes it to crash.

I don't buy this argument at all. The router knows about the /64 prefix only, unless are you talking about the ND cache?

Furthermore, let's say you can fill up your route table somehow. What prevents the same thing from happening to the NAT state tracker?

>Moreover if you have any apps/tabs in the background that are logged in (eg. gmail), it can track your new privacy addresses as they're being rotated.

HTTP cookies are enough for that (tracking sessions). No amount of Layer 3 tricks like CGNAT or IPv6 privacy extension will fix it.

>You're trying to imply this is a bad thing but it's unclear how the CGNAT owner can sabotage anonymity in this case.

I assume you understand CGNAT sessions are logged?
Enshittification to follow?
Humans are our only model of the type of intelligence we are trying to develop, any other target would be a fantasy with no control to measure against.

Humans are extremely general. Every single type of thing we want an AGI to do is a type of things that a human is good at doing, and none of those humans were designed specifically to do that thing. It is difficult for humans to move from specialization to specialization, but we do learn them with only the structure to "learn, generally" being our scaffolding.

What I mean by this is that we do want AGI to be general in the way a human is. We just want it to be more scalable. It's capacity for learning does not need to be limited by material issues (i.e. physical brain matter constraints), time, or time scale.

So where a human might take 16 years to learn how to perform surgery well, and then need another 12 years to switch to electrical engineering, an AGI should be able to do it the same way, but with the timescale only limited by the amount of hardware we can throw at it.

If it has to be structured from the ground up for each task, it is not a general intelligence, it's not even comparable to humans, let alone scalable beyond us.
That person would be liable for their mistakes.

Right after we just changed charging standards here in the US. And from what I've heard the cost and time required to run service to a charging station far exceeds the cost of the charging station itself.

> I am happy to report that “low interest rates” do not cause inflation by themselves on any scale less than a decade. Source: 1995-2021.

Interest rates in 1995 were about average, not particularly low. The zero interest rate period really started at the end of 2008 in response to the housing crash, with a very specific goal: To counteract the deflationary effect of the housing crash.

A major deleterious effect of that policy was to effectively re-inflate the housing bubble, which is now Causing Problems. But it was quite effective at doing the thing it does, which is increasing the rate of inflation relative to the alternative. When the rate of inflation would otherwise have had a minus sign in front of it, that can be what you intended to do, but that doesn't mean that's not what it does.

Shareholders optimize for money, users don't like themselves and the things they use to be optimized for money. They rather have good service. Since the perfect product earns you max money with min features, these two priorities are opposed.
They remove things not germane to the purpose of the data they publish. For example, USGS seismic data is noticeably bereft of most seismic events that are not geological in nature or sometimes related to mining (though in some sources they often scrub the mining ones too). Events of military interest like weapons tests, some target getting blown up in the middle of nowhere that may never make the news, etc is removed.

There are a ton of artifacts that show up in other sensing systems that are indicative of interesting or sensitive things that are outside the scope of their purpose, and these too may be edited from the data.

The people deciding what constitutes an event that should be scrubbed is pretty opaque AFAIK. It is official policy and sensing companies that do a lot of work with the government seem to follow similar guidelines.

Due to the proliferation of crowd sourced and alternative sensing platforms, I would argue that this is increasingly an exercise in futility. Nonetheless people still view many of the US sensing data sources as authoritative for all practical purposes. There are countries with laws dictating that some alternative data they control must be treated as authoritative for all purposes for their country, but that US data is sitting out there.
