Idk why the seeming schadenfreude. There seems to be this ridiculous idea now that no nation can possibly grow or shrink and that no new nations can break off or form, but that we must stick with the current set of nations and their boundaries ad infinitum. I don't get it.

it runs linux and you can compile a decent amount of stuff for it with an armhf toolchain. just have to jailbreak.

look at vector.dev and clickhouse. fast, has a language for extension, v easy to set up.

stripe, cloudflare (ish), github

this sounds like someone who is kvetching on principle because he resents private companies being involved with public services, not a legitimate complaint.

$6 isn't a lot relative to the cost of even driving to a national park for most people. comparing it to a $50 bag check or $100 in ticketmaster crap is disingenuous in the extreme.

recreation.gov is one of the very few dot gov's that doesn't make me want to put my hand through the nearest wall, precisely because it wasn't built like healthcare.gov.

the site services 23 million active users and has to handle a lot of complexity around managing limits on how many people can visit.

the author here is just straight-up wrong; consult this article for accurate information: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/hiking-and-b...

"Here’s how it all works at the field level. A manager at a National Park, Forest Service, BLM office, or the like decides that a user fee must be paid or that a site or trip is so popular that a paid permit or reservation is required to protect the resource and the experience. The consumer of those services—we the people—log into rec.gov and pay the designated fee or pay into a lottery to try to win a permit. That money goes to the Treasury Department. From that account, Recreation.gov pays Booz Allen for its work based off each transaction as agreed upon in the original contract, and almost all of the rest goes back to the individual agency. Over the past four years, says Delappe, 85 percent of what is charged goes back to the agencies. Recreation One Stop does not set those fees, nor does Booz Allen. But Booz Allen’s original contract did include specific fees for various transactions. It’s the managers in the field that set the prices. They of course try to cover their costs and the transaction costs for Recreation.gov."

TLDR: people be sayin shit. in this case "people" is some rando on substack and "shit" is "muh private company bad"

I mean that sounds good and cool and worth trying for the average hackernews, but not for the average adobe user. Like people are not paying for AI tech to get the 80% mostly-there version, they're paying for the 100% spit-and-polished end product that has the 80% of the work needed to achieve the last 20% of productizing. Consumers have demonstrated over and over they will pay a lot more to avoid dicking around with stuff and professionals can have an even stronger tendency to do this bc their time has a cost.

you want to compare llama2, inflection1, gpt4 et al. to apple's typing assistant model that is designed to run locally and in a tiny scope? large language model literally isn't accurate for something that's two orders of magnitude off what the term usually describes. if anything, give apple points for not hyping up "LLM technology" or whatever to boost their share price like every other tech-adjacent company is rn.

the baseline is you're not required to store anything. some communications must be stored for varying numbers of years, but this e-mail doesn't appear to be anything of that sort. https://www.uschamber.com/co/start/strategy/how-long-to-keep...

the better option is to kill the document retention policy for executives, or keep it as short as legally possible. then, for reasons of corporate security, pre-emptively delete all traces of communications well before anyone subpoenas them.

Firefly models are not publicly available. The integration with creative cloud apps is not customizable. You can't point it to a local stablediffusion setup. Open-source competitors will flop just like GIMP.

for anyone who can't parse the ridiculously reductionist and biased language, he means brendan eich, who created JS and led mozilla for quite a while.

brave is a good browser, and unlike firefox, doesn't leak memory with tons of tabs. you should use it.

cheap hotels advertise free wifi. expensive ones charge you for it.

subscriptions almost always end up costing the consumer more.

this is actually plausible, though. GPT-4 finished training in August 2022 and was released March 2023. OpenAI took a lot of time to test/secure/fine-tune/whatever. if they're looking for a roughly yearly release cadence then they might have just about finished training.

the scaling effects and deflationary nature of technology are much better-established than those of humans driving large, expensive cars.

this is one of the interesting problems of assessing damages in cases like this.

putting the company out of business serves no particular purpose: lost jobs, higher prices and shortages for important products.

letting it get off without a penalty establishes a clear moral hazard and makes it hard to compensate victims.

evidently, the line is in the middle. and of course, the military tested these earplugs and said they met spec - so should 3m really bear full liability?

and, even with all this: if 85% of the victims still have normal hearing, don't you think ambulance chasing plays a role here?

1 - compare the govt and spacex track records. does that really seem wise?

2 - we can't really nationalize stuff, constitutionally. it's been limited to voluntary bailouts of last resort (aig, amtrak) which i think we should stop

yes actually? America literally doesn't use any accents so we write stuff without them. we basically never even use them on cafe, resume, words of that sort. like japanese has no L sound. so (if google translate is to be believed) their exonym for Lithuania is pronounced "Ritoania", and uses an entirely different alphabet.

if you want to learn to use endonyms for countries cool! but most people aren't interested in that level of effort for the whole world. there are ten thousand other things that occupy their minds, every one jockeying for a spot, and this being a passion of yours doesn't change that.

idk why you think there should be any different rules from this, except the general sense of anti-Americanism that seems to pervade this discussion.

fine. then every spanish speaker should call my country The United States of America, not Los Estados Unidos. be equal about this or don't even start.

also: i will under no circumstances use a name that my keyboard cannot type with standard American english. no one besides the new yorker uses an umlaut in our language.

it's so freaking disingenuous when hyperregulatory twerps pass this kind of crap, then wait for a disaster, then soyface at facebook like "see what they're doing!! this is a critical natural disaster tool!" well then maybe yall shouldn't've broken the business model, geniuses. i neither use nor like facebook but this is an obvious mistake.

CIA. yeeting people out of their shit every ten minutes cripples availability, we gotta balance. like most things where the person making the call is not the person who deals with it, security ppl are often too aggressive about killing session duration.

...i may be stupid but i could have sworn endotyping was already a thing. i talked to someone last week who brought it up. does anyone w more expertise know what the specific innovation is?

Benny F for TPOT!

all of them look hideous to me, tbh. if they were more cartoony it would actually work a lot better.

imo they all look kinda like this guy in different get-ups https://i.pinimg.com/236x/da/2b/a3/da2ba3c80630ff50c12b6d7ac...

many retailers have started running verification through 3rd parties w your name and address. i know cigarbid now does this, believe drizly does. i think it may vary by state.

science is a mechanism for testing hypotheses. it may not be as medically rigorous as we want but modeling the complete receptor interactions and exactly what sorts and degrees of modulation happens as a result across the whole brain and body is really, really hard

btw this is why i think the phrase "the science" as it relates to a pseudointellectual synonym for "the answer" needs to die

surprised they couldn't get asset-backed financing for the new build. wonder if they just took a better rate this way. ceo says cheap way to access debt so i guess so

then i think that's why you're so cavalier, you don't understand the area you're discussing. ejmr is an actual important site in econ, and by cracking and holding that info rather than just reporting a bug, ederer is creating and maintaining a chilling effect because "wahh, he doesn't like what people say about him on there"

imagine i find a sql injection vuln in a site. i have 2 options:

1. report it like a good person

2. exploit it and dump the whole damn list of hashes

1 is research. 2 is blackhat shit. i agree the anonymization was bad, i agree rolling your own crypto is dumb, i'm arguing by addressing it the way he did, ederer is (consciously) attempting to break the valid role of anonymity and introduce a chilling effect.

there is a big difference between reporting a bug and using a rack of a100s to crack and hold info, with the subtle undercurrent that it could be released.

there's an obvious conflict here. ederer et al. don't like ejmr, so instead of looking to actually help, they went after something totally outside their usual just to be dicks about it.
