How does bazel work with cmake builds?

The explanation previous seems misleading, the rockets sent up to give codes for launch, humans still launched them. Presumably before satellites, redundant fiber networks, and robust national communications they wanted a fallback in case communications get disrupted.

So not a dead man's switch, just backup one way comms system.

It's also one of the most idiotic slogans in history.

Any slogan that requires a paragraph or Wikipedia article to explain what it "really means" is public relations malpractice.

And I'm coming from the side were I agree with much of the actual policy proposals behind it.

It boggles the mind of who came up with the line and thought, yes this is a political winner.

Sorry rant over.

My view is that it can never be used as a currency because it is inherently deflationary.

Good to know, I had an issue when I tried that, but thinking back it was a ssh version incompatibility between the default windows and ubuntu.

One of my thoughts is that legislatures need more money for staff. Executive branches have billions of dollars to hire experts on long term contracts. How many in house experts does a legislature have?

Maybe 100 years ago this would work, but the modern state is really complex, and the problems are really complex, because if they were easy they would be solved.

The amount of money that state and federal legislatures control is huge, My hunch is that if they spent more on extra staff, the increase in quality of legislation would provide enough economic benefits to cover the cost.

Having a delay, where people can see what's coming down the pipe, does have value. In a year there may/will be a open source model.

But knowing that this is possible is important to know.

I'm fairly clued in, and am constantly surprised at how fast things are changing.

Windows has a built in ssh-agent included with openssh, no need for pagent anymore.

Ssh agent will manage your ssh keys through windows registry windows login process.

Also if you use wsl, you can access your ssh keys in wsl from the windows ssh-agent via npiperelay

My Grandfather did that (he was 80 at the time), he got upset that his bank would not take a cashier's check from another bank, even after calling the other bank to confirm it was valid.

He asked for his 60k worth of deposit in cash, apparently there are laws from the 30s that if you ask for cash they have to give it to you.

The bank ended up calling in police officer, who then confirmed that my grandfather was in the right, and they gave him the 60k. He stuffed it down his pants and drove to the other bank he used, with the police officer kind enough to follow him.

Funny story, but he is definitely on a list of people that that bank will not do business with.

What was the hype-cycle between GANs and diffusion?

That does not sound that bad, does the new division now have great documentation for the product?

My impression is that it did not get into latest Ubuntu, they were in the process of trying though.

The end goal seems to have been to get it into the LTS releases of rhel and Ubuntu. Since this was a valuable it's probably something kept around for when other methods fail. I doubt it would be used before the really valuable systems are compromised (rhel and Ubuntu in cloud and governments)

Except if I install by choice, a app that records what my device is doing, I would not call that wiretapping.

Wiretapping is what you do to others, generally without knowledge. Facebook paid individuals to record what data their devices sent out.

So I am not really following what this is about, but it seems like Facebook wanted to know what information Snapchat and others were collecting from users.

So with the users permission (for a testing group), they created something to be installed along side so that they could see what data was actually being collected by third parties.

I don't understand the issue, If I as a user want to monitor what is being sent about me, I should have the right to do so. If I then want to send that information to some other company, in exchange for money (or whatever) that's my choice.

The headline seems disingenuous.

It seems to me that there are 3 independent issues.

1 scanning the books to text.

2 reading text to the user.

3 having a good interface.

Number 1 seems to be where you put the most effort, along with 3.

I guess at least for me, there are often digital copies of books, either in epub or Kindle. When that's available those should be used.

And if it is not available, wouldn't it make more sense to have document scanner to epub?

I guess I'm just thinking that it is relatively rare that you really need to document scanning in order to get an audio book. Since most of the cost seems to be from document scanner side, it seems worthwhile to split them up.

And also seems like it would make sense to think of these as 2 separate products. Specialized document scanning, and audio generation. I can definitely see uses for one without the other.

I think you replied to the wrong post

This is a interesting article that goes into tether.

Travel within the shengen zone is a one, you may get entry and exit stamps, but if you travel Germany and France there is no record.

They could compete on ram, if the software was there. Just having a low cost alternative to the 4060ti would allow them to break into the student/hobbies/open source market.

I tried the a770, but returned it. Half the stuff does not work. They have the CPU side and GPU development on different branches (GPU seems to be ~6 months behind CPU) and often you have to compile it yourself, (if you want torchvision or torchaudio) it also currently on 2.0.1 of pytorch so somewhat lagging, and does not have most of the performance analysis software available. You also, do need to modify your pytorch code, often more than just replacing cuda for xpu as the device. They are also doing all development internally, then pushing intermittently to public. A lot of this would not be as bad if there was a better idea of feature timeline, or if they made their CI public. (Trying to build it myself involved a extremely hacky bash script, that inevitably failed halfway through.)

What not just have site that are serve explicit things advertise that. Have a large scale Blocklist, and if you serve explicit content, then you need to be on there.

Then have a option when people sign up for internet to block all the IPs associated with explicit stuff.

Adults and parents can choose "yes or no" when they pay for internet and then be done with it.

If children are still getting access, then their either technically savvy, which nothing will stop. Or an adult in their life is allowing unblocked internet.

Just make ip filtering easy and default so that parents can set it up without having to understand anything. It should be a required thing when you request internet access "do you want to filter out explicit content"

Some sites that have dual content may have to have separate IP addresses for non-explicit and explicit/non explicit. But that is relatively easy. And if they do not care, then they will by default end up on explicit list.

What I have been thinking would be really cool and fun to try would be to remake zork with llms, speech to text and text to speech.

I think you might be able to do it with a lot of prompting, and having a database that functions like a wiki for the current and past states of the game world.

If you got really fancy, you could also make it a pseudo MMO where the content of the story you create with a character could be used as the basis for a NPC plotline in other people's worlds, possibly reducing the amount of content needed to be written.

If it got popular you could also use it as a research tool, where you could force some subset of the player population have some interaction, and be able to test and get a dataset for counterfactual reasoning.

The next 5 years will be wild.

Looks to be defense contractor (job listing says active security clearance is a plus)

The metaverse will not have any language barriers...

Full employment means 100% of people eligible to work are working. (0% unemployment rate)

it does not mean employers filling all their open job requests.

They do, or at least when I last flew they were charging people who had carryon bags that would not go beneath the seat.

(I had a backpack that was slightly oversized, but they did not seem to care that much.)

So how well does this work when it is windy?

Ha, yeah I remember in high school looking into Bitcoin, thought it was cool.

Then I realized it would never be useful as a currency due to the Bitcoin cap making it deflationary.

I still don't disagree, and most of Bitcoin is speculation and fraud, but the correlation of Bitcoin being deflationary is that the value will only go up.

So, Doink.

Ok, so dumb question, how many crimes in the US have used a 3d printed gun?

Try doing things with large amounts of cash, and see what happens.

Take a million dollars and buy something with it. Even just depositing 10k in a bank account gets reported to the feds, and possibly investigated (And using lower amounts is illegal under structuring.)

That's setting aside the instances of civil asset forfeiture where money is seized because driving with large amounts of cash is assumed to be the product of a crime.

So yeah, whether it's a good policy or not, it definitely seems to be the view.

Second this, Slightly different, but I dropped out of university and worked on a small farm for a season.

Turns out I'm a terrible farmer, but electrical engineering is actually a pretty good fit for me. Finished up my degree easily when I went back to school.
