Your work is using personal subscriptions? If not a corporate client is probably paying per token via the API and you're just feeding money to them not sinking their bottom line.

Not a great use case for Claw really. I'm sure ChatGPT can one shot a Python script to do this with yt-dlp and give you instructions on how to set it up as a service

With regard to Tether none of this is applicable as they aren't compliant with the GENIUS Act. They are in fact attempting to launch a totally separate stablecoin to try to get some of that market: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulat...

No it really isn't. Is Jackson Pollock entirely directing each drop of paint or is there some inherent randomness that is being guided and directed at a higher level? There's a clear analogy to digital art where there exists along a continuum things like traditional digital art tools -> algorithmic generative art -> LLM generated art at varying levels of direct control.

That would only make sense if they had a lot of net worth which is clearly not the case. If they have $400 in their checking account and a ton of student loans or other debt inflation is actually great for them.

It's obviously tied pretty closely to any theory of large scale structure formation too

There was a somewhat similar search for these duplicate galaxies as evidence for a universe with positive curvature. Because in that case if you look deep enough you'll see more images of the same galaxies although they'll be further back in time and possibly shifted in the way you're describing by the cosmic structure. It didn't pan out obviously.

I've got a site that is basically infinite scroll of mostly YouTube, SoundCloud, and Reddit embeds and had to do this for YouTube for it to even be functional. Using the YouTube provided thumbnails though since I'm not too concerned about tracking.

The benchmarks for all these CPUs that my personal view point is based on are all out there. Anandtech was my favorite source for this at the time due to relatively detailed testing and a clear understanding of the implications of architecture decisions. The complete history of their contemporaneous reviews are still online and userbenchmark.com has independent data on these older CPUs as well although obviously with less control over potential mitigating factors.

AMD was struggling to release CPUs that were competitive against year old Intel Core 2 Duos which remained the status quo through their Bulldozer architecture. Things started turning around with Ryzen when a combination of architecture improvements and typical workloads taking more advantage of multicore flipped the script.

The bits about "true" multicore are also sketchy considering Bulldozer was using shared L2, fetch/decode, and floating point hardware on each module and calling a module two "cores" for marketing purposes.

I'm quite familiar as I worked for Intel for over a decade as an engineer. It's absolutely true that leadership has fluctuated a lot but the 2003-2010 era had fairly clear cut leaders for each generation. AMD was the choice for just about everything through the Athlon 64 single core era but the Core 2 Duo run had them relegated to superiority in the very bottom end of the market only for a long time.

Is he really trying to say that AMD had a superior product in the Core 2 Duo era and Intel was only dominating due to marketing? It's hard to take any of the rest of his opinions seriously when he starts with that take

If you are curious and able to self teach effectively I'm impressed if you get through an entire CS undergrad without picking up the basics of git

If I understand correctly this is what they want to do eventually (delete the info used to create the iris hash) but isn't actually what they are doing. The impression is that once they have their algorithm "perfect" and never need to retest on source data they'll go back and delete all the data they have stored but who really trusts that will happen?

Picked up a NUC and moving my apps there (several BE only things like bots with FE served off GH Pages and one small app with some server processing that gets like 600 unique visitors a month). They were all served off the Heroku domain anyway so I'll just move them to DynDNS. Will take several years to make it worth not just paying Heroku but at least I won't have to play this game again when Render or Fly.io end up having to restrict their free tiers as well.

Yes you could follow friends who could republish from their feeds onto a feed you could subscribe to and eventually it supported comments on those items which would allow discussion within their community. Discoverability and community which hasn't been replicated with the scattered userbase after it was killed.

Some of the later books in the Culture series (most directly The Hydrogen Sonata) deal with civilizations trying to get a leg up on the galactic tech ladder by scavenging the leavings of older civilizations that have "sublimed" and left the physical realm.

Cloud9 used to be my primary development environment for anything Node-based or intended for the web. Loved the features and the anywhere-access of an online IDE. Then Amazon bought it and effectively removed their free-tier by billing you for the AWS hours the environment took to run (I know there is an AWS free tier but it is one-time and expires after a year). When looking around for a replacement Repl.it was the only other thing remotely close in features.

The only two issues that I ran into was not having the ability to run local DBs and Chrome reporting the web preview page for my replit as containing malware and not letting me load it. C9 basically just dropped you to a Linux shell where you could install and run your own copy of Mongo or Postgres. This seems like it would satisfy a lot of use cases and running your DB on an external provider isn't too tough anyway. The second issue is probably just par for the course when allowing user executed code and web content to be hosted from your servers although I never got hit with the same on Cloud9.

Quantum communication isn't communication in the sense that you can decide what to send. You have a shared quantum state due to entanglement and you can guarantee that both sides see the same information when they observe the state but it's more like putting two identical messages into sealed envelopes and sending them off to be opened later (with the caveat that because the message hasn't been determined until it is observed you can prevent anyone from knowing what it is ahead of time).

There are collision attacks against it but GitHub should be detecting and protecting against those. See https://github.blog/2017-03-20-sha-1-collision-detection-on-...

Courts have ruled that providing a password to decrypt something is not in itself testimony and isn't protected by the 5th amendment.

Judges can certainly hold you in court indefinitely on a contempt of court charge as well. Considering the nature of the charges that this typically comes up in (see Francis Rawls) I wouldn't count on trying to make it a civil rights issue doing much in your favor.

The first set is doing chip design and layout (think of this like the circuit diagram for the CPU). The second set is doing the actual manufacturing after being delivered a complete layout.

Intel can buy a "7nm" processor from TSMC and in fact for products that aren't their processors they actually do get other companies to manufacture their products occasionally. They don't want to release the complete design of their processor to external suppliers for IP reasons and have been leveraging their manufacturing advantage to sell more CPUs. Intel could build AMD chips in their fab but then Intel CPUs have to compete with AMD on architecture alone and lose any performance edge attributable to the manufacturing.

Technically this is the gate length of the transistor (https://nptel.ac.in/courses/103106075/Courses/Lecture21.html) but it's becoming mostly a marketing term to refer to the generation of manufacturing tech since the transistor density depends on enough other factors now that gate length alone isn't a good measure. Intel's 14nm ~= TSMC/GF 10nm and Intel's 10nm ~= TSMC/GF 7nm.

The word you're looking for is MACHO (massive compact halo object) and using microlensing observations you can make all kinds of statistical arguments for how likely objects of different masses are to make up the missing matter to match galaxy rotation curves to observations. Basically it doesn't seem likely that there are nearly enough intermediate mass black holes to explain dark matter. Because microlensing is gravitational it doesn't matter what kind of object the MACHO is.

It looks like if there is a hardfork then Coinbase will just keep your coins on the chain that they don't want to continue supporting. I would move coins to a wallet that you control (preferably something or somewhere not network accessible) beforehand so that you keep your coins on both chains.

By dimensions he means units. So taking into account the units of density/the gravitational constant (and any other pertinent quantities) and the units of the quantity you are calculating for you can derive an approximate formula just by looking at it and saying okay this unit needs ^2 and this one needs ^-1 and this one needs ^-3 for the end units to work out.

I haven't been in a few years but Varasano's is the best pizza I've ever had. Antico comes in a close second. If you're a fan of Neapolitan style pizza definitely don't miss this one.

The Remembrance of Earth's Past series by Liu Cixin? It also has the "lurker" theory of cosmic sociology being discussed in this thread.

If you're asking how do we know there is more matter than antimatter in the universe the answer is that it is consistent with the observations/calculations surrounding Big Bang nucleosynthesis and CMB anisotropies. If you're asking what do we theorize is the reason there is more matter than antimatter in the universe there isn't a satisfactory answer yet. It's one of the biggest open problems in physics.

Falsifiability is generally taken as an intrinsic property of the claim in science and philosophy. "Is there any possible way" rather than "is there any reasonable way".
