cyberlimerence

What model can you run realistically with 512 GB of unified memory ? I'm curious who is even the market for such an offering.

Love it. Your whole website is great. I recently started writing down whatever passing thoughts happen to me in a small notebook. Only a couple of entries now, but it's a start. Unfortunately I was terrible at, or perhaps terrified of, writing at school and college, so I never learned how to be any good at it. I also find that nothing reveals more about what you know about a given topic than looking at an empty page or a blinking cursor. Even writing this comment makes me feel queasy, huh.

I was wondering why the caption was empty, but it's because of my Dark Reader extension inverting the text color to white, without touching the box color. Just a heads up.

Oh I have no doubt about that. You have people, who would not be able to obtain a security clearance in a 100 years if they tried, running around, accessing government databases and taking "backups" offsite. Maybe law enforcement/Pentagon/intelligence data is not under threat at the moment, but in a couple of years who knows. Meanwhile people get fired, proper access protocols and communications continue to breakdown, and you get chaos. And every spy agency loves chaos.

Every other intelligence agency on the planet is about to scoop a ton of American data via cyber and basic HUMINT. It's free for all out there, I guess.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Could you share how old they were ? I'm relatively young, but the fear of getting some form of cancer is on my mind lately. And the timing of it always seems to be so cruel.

It's Meetup.[1] Apparently people use it for walks as well, who knew. Wonder if there is a space for a dedicated / more focused app.

Is anyone out there archiving USGS/NOAA datasets ? It sounds ridiculous, but this appears to be where we are now. There is a submission about NOAA on the frontpage now: "Scientists on alert as NOAA restricts contact with foreign nationals" [1]

Apparently two survivors are the crew members who were at the tail section. Even if (big if) their physical injuries are not critical, they are likely permanently psychologically scarred. I somehow doubt you can continue working in an airline after that.

Tragically it appears that out of 181 onboard only two have survived. If true, this would be South Korea’s worst domestic civil aviation disaster. [1][2]

If I understand correctly, this adds hard cap to the free tier for the peace of mind. You exceed the bandwidth/usage limits and your app gets suspended. I have a Netlify account but have not used it for anything, so this helps to calm my anxiety with cloud usage, especially after reading some horror stories online.

Yonhap (Korea state news) :

The National Assembly voted Wednesday to demand President Yoon Suk Yeol lift emergency martial law.

Under the Constitution, martial law must be lifted when a parliamentary majority demands it.

Of the 300 members of parliament, 190 were present and all 190 voted in favor of a motion demanding the lifting of martial law. With the motion's passage, the martial law declaration is void, according to the parliamentary speaker's office. [1]

From Yonhap (Korea state news): "Activities related to National Assembly, political parties banned: martial law commander." [1] "Entry, exit from National Assembly blocked after declaration of martial law." [2]

I'm pretty sure it is just ratio of points/time which matters. Number of comments has negative influence on rankings if number of comments >>> points. Sometimes truth is just boring.

Beautiful work, well done. It also made me remember a game I played a long time ago called Ballance[1]. Weird how memory works like that.

I like the concept, but it is flashing way too fast. Maybe do a random selection every 1 sec, rather than a straight fire hose ?

Will it be something like TouchDesigner[1] ? I never used TD myself, but I follow a lot of creative types who do for making music visualizations, art installations, etc.

I can't find it on Github though, maybe repo is private ?

I don't know Mandarin, but I found this browser extension [1] very useful for quickly translating some words. It doesn't translate sentences unfortunately, but I guess you can use machine translation for that. I'm curious if/how anyone here has integrated LLMs for their language learning process.

Also after you learn a certain amount of basic words in any language, I recommend trying to learn that language from inside out. Basically instead of translating new words to your primary language, look for a dictionary which will explain those words with basic ones you already know.

For anyone interested in technical aspects of this, I recommend watching Pycon talk [1] from Robert Erdmann. I bookmarked this couple of years ago.

It is just open source version [1] of that, I assume. It's a visualization, but data is their own. earth.nullschool is visualization of NOAA's GFS model.

Really cool project. I went through all 40 puzzles, only missed a couple :(

Some friendly feedback: maybe add a way to quickly go to previous/next puzzle directly, like arrows on the side of the screen. Modal with "play" button reloads on every puzzle, so you have to press the button every time, I think it should come up only once on start up. I see that it takes some time for the graph to load, but modal should close itself then. Also, I'm not sure if it is a timezone issue on my side or calendar in archive is off by one day: you need to click the next day to get puzzle for the prior day. Not really important, but August 16th puzzle is mislabeled (atmospheric ppm. vs temperature anomaly).

Thanks for putting this together, I'll try to play again sometime.

That's pretty nice. I can't see license or terms of usage though, so are these free to use ?

It's a joke.

"Although fifty-seven is not prime, it is jokingly known as the Grothendieck prime after a legend according to which the mathematician Alexander Grothendieck supposedly gave it as an example of a particular prime number." [1]

I can see how that would confusing. I did submit with the original title "WA man set up fake free wifi at Australian airports ...", but I think edit by a moderator removed Australian part. In hindsight, the title should have been "Australian man ...", but I can't edit the submission now.

I'm not a lawyer, nor know anything about Australian law, but from the police press release [1] the charges are:

Three counts of unauthorised impairment of electronic communication, contrary to section 477.3 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is 10 years’ imprisonment;

Three counts of possession or control of data with the intent to commit a serious offence, contrary to section 478.3 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is three years’ imprisonment;

One count of unauthorised access or modification of restricted data, contrary to section 478.1 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is two years’ imprisonment.

One count of dishonestly obtain or deal in personal financial information (being usernames and passwords) contrary to section 480.4 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth); The maximum penalty for this offence is five years’ imprisonment; and

One count of possession of identification information with the intention of committing, or facilitating the commission of, conduct that constitutes the dealing offence, contrary to section 372.2 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth). The maximum penalty for this offence is three years’ imprisonment.

I think even your example would fall under these, since these types of laws are not about technicalities. [1] https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/man-charged...

Rewilding sounds great. I find North American obsession with manicured lawns quite bizarre, especially in states with water availability issues. Here is the article from the Canadian newspaper about the same guy with some added details [1].

I hate that for some reason. Feels intrusive in a weird way to me.

I see, you're right. I found this tidbit on Wikipedia (and the article itself)[1] quite interesting:

"As a member of the Germanic family of languages, English is unusual in that even simple compounds made since the 18th century tend to be written in separate parts. This would be an error in other Germanic languages such as [...] German, and Dutch. However, this is merely an orthographic convention."

And this also:

" In Dutch and the Scandinavian languages there is an unofficial trend toward splitting compound words, known in Norwegian as særskriving, in Swedish as särskrivning (literally "separate writing"), and in Dutch as Engelse ziekte (the "English disease"). Because the Dutch language and the Scandinavian languages rely heavily on the distinction between the compound word and the sequence of the separate words it consists of, this has serious implications. In Dutch, compounds written with spaces may also be confused, but can also be interpreted as a sequence of a noun and a genitive (which is unmarked in Dutch) in formal abbreviated writing. This may lead to, for example, commissie vergadering ("commission meeting") being read as "commission of the meeting" rather than "meeting of the commission" (normally spelled commissievergadering).
