OKCupid has another security issue related to email. If you get your hands on a link that they send out to a person's email regarding a match then that link auto logs you into their account and you can do whatever you want with it.

I discovered that when a friend of mine forwarded me a match that they had made and I suddenly found myself able to read their messages.

I contacted OKC about it and they did reply saying that it was a WONTFIX.
Sure, but the comment I responded to was lamenting that the commits are not asynchronous by default. The documentation I linked to was all about the considerations and behavior for asynchronous commits.
Specifically, weapons over which we won't have full control after we take delivery. There's another point in that agreement, design authority over those weapons must be in EU — e.g. no licenced components (even 100% manufactured in Europe) that USA needs to provide software updates for.
Honestly the only thing I can really suggest at this point is have separate devices used when traveling internationally, and be mindful of what you access or put on them. Plausible deniability boot volume works good for laptops. Dunno if any phone supports that.
One problem is that public opinion is also often at odds with facts. It's not hard to find a sequence of "Do you want X or Y" type questions that will send many people into a circle of intransitive preferences.

Some of it, certainly, but I doubt it's all. Violence committed by druggies trying to scrape up enough for their next hit would still happen.

> We can also compare locales that implement do implement $policy and ones that don't. As with anything it's not perfect but it can be indicative.

It's so imperfect it often inverts the sign of the result, e.g. cities that implement some anti-X policy have even more X than cities that don't, but the reason is that the cities that implemented the policy were the ones expecting the biggest problem. Then a policy that was effective in reducing the growth rate of X from 30% to 10% is accused of increasing X by 10%.

> For the exact same reason it's often so difficult to tease out the impact of policies in data, it's even harder to reason through what will happen from first principles.

The point isn't that you can't get the reasoning wrong, it's that most of the data is just mud. It's knowing that X = Y + Z and then someone gives you the value of Y, which is data, and asks you to solve for X. You still have no ability to answer the question.

But okay, fair enough, you have some data, you're maybe one step closer to solving the problem (even though you haven't yet). Here's what gets me. If the data contradicts the expectation, you should now have a theory for why. Is it because the data has confounders and hasn't really demonstrated anything one way or the other? Is it because you made mass transit free but it still didn't cover the path to where people live, and in order to be effective you have to do both? What's the reason? That is an important question because it determines what you should do instead, if anything.

Just "data says that doesn't work" isn't really refuting anything. If the reason is confounders then the data isn't even a counterargument. If the reason is that it doesn't work as implemented there but there is a variant that works, that's important, but then you can still do it by adopting the variant. And if it actually doesn't work at all then where's the explanation? How do you know what to do instead?

For example, if people don't respond to price differences then congestion pricing shouldn't work either, right? If price differences do work but part of the price has to be an increase to trigger loss aversion and then it's the total price that matters, what if you make mass transit free and then increase the federal gas tax instead of using congestion pricing? People see the higher price, compare it to the lower price and you get a double effect but still don't need to pay for separate collections infrastructure or have the privacy cost and the gas tax also encourages fuel efficiency.

But if the data is just some convoluted mud that can't answer the questions then it's worse than nothing, because it makes you think you know something you don't actually know.

While it is not an idiom, the applicable term is likely pedantry[0].

Ignoring the judgemental qualifier, consider your original post to which I replied:

What we call "hallucinations" is far more similar to what
we would call "inventiveness", "creativity", or
"imagination" in humans ...

The term for this behavior is anthropomorphism[1] due to ascribing human behaviors/motivations to algorithmic constructs.

The same can be said for a random number generator and a permutation algorithm.

If you can't tell, I differentiate between humans and algorithms, no matter the cleverness observed of the latter, as only the former can possess "understanding."

I wonder if they still (illegally?) discriminate based on sex. They used to give different payment plans to men versus women.

You used to be able to edit the plan number in the URL to get a better rate, then they "fixed" that, but then all you had to do was edit the plan number in the form action.
Diseases spread and mutate, so one person becoming infected with a human H5N1 crossover now increases the odds of other people getting it. Remember when most people did not care about bat viruses, and then very quickly we saw one go global and mutate significantly?

There’s also commonly a child endangerment argument: unpasteurized milk is one of the more dangerous things you can drink, and kids can’t give informed consent but the rest of society at least used to agree that helping them reach the age where they can make their own decisions is a good thing.
Possibly compilation and linking. That's very slow for big programs like Chromium. There's really interesting work on GPU compilers (co-dfns and Voetter's work).

Optimization problems like scheduling and circuit routing. Search in theorem proving (the classical parts like model checking, not just LLM).

There's still a lot that is slow and should be faster, or at the very least made to run using less power. GPUs are good at that for graphics, and I'd like to see those techniques applied more broadly.
This change: https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/ means that Alma is no longer covered by STIGs and other RHEL-specific certifications. Rocky is usually permitted to piggyback on such things. This has directly affected deployments (my team spent time migrating from one o the other as a direct consequence). Compatible, sure, but that is a narrow view of the value CentOS provided.

Of all the things that constitute a value ad that might allow Oracle or any other company to sell a premium operating system and do away with reciprocal licensing, the core utilities aren’t it. There are already permissively, licensed versions of most of those tools. If people want to champion the GPL and so forth, this is not the hill to die on it’s not really even a hill. It’s a mole hill. That’s not to say that I undervalue the worth of these utilities, but they are not something that people are going to pay premium prices for.
What action were you threatening? When I looked into it, it seemed like only state Attorneys General could sue violators.
Why don't you believe it?

From my perspective, it seems imminently plausible. Who cares about the licensing?

But I'm interested in what leads you to the opposite conclusion.
The smart move is to use an unsupervised burner iPhone for your travel with a different Apple ID, sign out of iCloud while transiting, don’t have email and text resident on it, and carry a Chromebook if need be.

> I believe we need is end-to-end bidirectional stream based data communication

I suspect the generalized solution is much harder to achieve, and looks more like batch-based reconciliation of full snapshots than streaming or event-driven.

The challenge is if you aim to sync data sources where the parties managing each data source are not incentivized to provide robust sync. Consider Dropbox or similar, where a single party manages the data set, and all software (server and clients), or ecosystems like Salesforce and Mulesoft which have this as a stated business goal, or ecosystems like blockchains where independent parties are still highly incentivized to coordinate and have technically robust mechanisms to accomplish it like Merkle trees and similar. You can achieve sync in those scenarios because independent parties are incentivized to coordinate (or there is only one party).

But if you have two or more independent systems, all of which provide some kind of API or import/export mechanisms, you can never guarantee those systems will stay in sync using a streaming or event-driven approach. And worse, those systems will inevitably drift out of sync, or even more worse, will propagate incorrect data across multiple systems, which can then only be reconciled by batch-like point-in-time snapshots, which then begs the question of why use streaming if you ultimately need batch to make it work reliably.

Put another way, people say batch is a special case of streaming, so just use streaming. But you could also say streaming is a fragile form of sync, so just use sync. But sync is a special case of batch, so just use batch.

Also, violence caused by a sociopath's giving a desperate addict $50 in exchange for the addict's shooting one of the sociopath's enemies would still happen.

Also, addicts stealing from their moms would still happen, which is regrettable even if it is not violence.
I’d imagine it was accounted for that these dam surveys are conducted for populations near a river, and they’re just comparing the dam survey of that area to administrative population estimates or whatever. Either way, this data might only be relevant for estimating riverside populations. Also, I’d say it’s more likely population estimates are overestimating the human population by a billion, not underestimating by a billion. That’s just my view of that though
I don’t have an international phone plan. When I travel overseas I cannot access my bank account and my primary credit card randomly asks for a phone number verification that I cannot update.

I tried buying an sms number from twilio so that I could receive 2fa while out of the country but my bank (PNC) would not accept any phone number unless it was from one of the 4 major carriers in the US!

My credit card (capital one) seems to have a phone number on file from Mastercard. If I change my phone number in capital one, whenever I get into the Mastercard extra verification, it does not use the updated number. I have no idea how to get Mastercard to update it. I just ended up using a different credit card!

Well, that's the beauty of the system. You can go and be the change you want to see in the world.
There were so many problems with the Touch Bar to pick any one as the ‘real’ problem. As a software developer, I’m used to resting my finger on the F5 key when I’m thinking or in the few seconds before a build finishes. Can’t do that with the Touch Bar.

Also, it reflected the fluorescent tubes on the ceiling in a way that normal keys don’t.

There are plenty more complaints of course, but I never heard anyone say they found a ‘must-have’ use case for it. In a nutshell - all kinds of problems, no significantly better solutions.
Yes, its a one step integration into your workflow file, typically before the steps you want to monitor eg. build, test if you don't want to see everything happening in your runner host. It has worked pretty well with ubuntu-latest and stock Linux runners from GH out of the box.
> Your lack of empathy for others is always baffling for me. “I haven’t had problems with occupants, therefore they are not a problem.”

They just said that they hadn't observed the same thing in their entourage.

Are you referring to a recent event in France? Can't find any with the query "réciter coran otage". That quote makes France look like a war zone.

> Some pupils grow under oppression, having to donate their lunch meal every day.

> Some had to give their mobile phone.

Are you making a link with "occupants" from the first sentence? Because bullying and assault didn't wait for immigration to exist, and criminality in general is caused by so much factors that makes the analysis harder than just looking at correlations.

> some people are thrown in the Seine.

Search for "jeté dans la Seine" (thrown in the Seine):

- [20 years ago] Brahim Bouraam: murder of a Moroccan in Paris by a far-right militant [0]

- [5 days ago] A jogger thrown into the Seine by a drunken German, another bystander injured [1]

I don't think you referred to those actions.

> But as long as you give occupants priority and respect in your life, and you respect them

Nobody said something remotely related to that in the thread.

> don’t say anything about the occupied zone

...

I hope that you can still find some enjoyment in the dystopian alternate reality you're experiencing.

PS: I lived in a hot district. I haven't been assaulted but I know someone who has been. It hasn't been perpetrated by an immigrant, and nothing happened after. He hasn't been caught, police closed the case, and life went on. It makes me think the problem here is not related to immigrants. But that's anecdata anyway. A study apparently found no correlation between immigration and criminality [2].

It really does depend. If you are doing full mocap with a rig it gets super expensive.

If you are doing basic 3d you more or less just need a VR setup with hand and feet tracking (still not cheap).

The cheapest hardware wise is your standard face tracking Live2D system. Pretty much just need an iphone (commonly used because they have good face tracking natively) or a webcam based face tracker.

The thing that really makes vtubing expensive is the cost of getting a model. If you aren't making it all yourself, those commissions for the design and then the rigging can very quickly go from a few thousand dollars to well over 10k.

And that video specifically is code miko. Her setup is one of the most expensive setups I've seen to be honest. She built the system herself however nowadays I think she pays a dedicated engineer to develop and maintain tooling for her bespoke setup. It's certainly not normal compared to most vtubers.

Hardware-wise most vtubers don't have much more than a good microphone, a gaming PC, and an iphone (which is much easier to achieve than the setup code miko has)
A little off-topic/tangential it seems the real discovery or invention was the axle, or probably more specifically the bearing.
Interesting scenario. If a government can tie a specific person to a specific wallet, they don't need the keys to go forward with whatever they want to do with that info.

I wonder if the FBI can proclaim a certain wallet is yours and you did some bad thing so you have to surrender those coins. Without the private key, they can't forcefully confiscate your coins. But I wonder if they can say "If any coins leave that wallet, we'll take retaliatory action!".

> Most practical parallel computing hardware had queues to handle the mismatch in compute speed for various CPUs to run different algorithms on part of the data.

> Eliminating the CPU bound compute, and running everything truly in parallel eliminates the need for the queues and all the related hardware/software complexity.

Modern parallel scheduling systems still have "queues" to manage these concerns; they're just handled in software, with patterns like "work stealing" that describe what happens when unexpected mismatches in execution time must somehow be handled. Even your "sea of LUTs (look up tables), that are all clocked and only connected locally to their neighbors" has queues, only the queue is called a "pipeline" and a mismatch in execution speed leads to "pipeline bubbles" and "stalls". You can't really avoid these issues.
