I don’t see how it’s incompatible with open source, just because my development builds aren’t being blessed.

Maybe people will find deep meaning in “AI is us, any intention was shaped by the written down intentions of every human that ever put pen to paper”.

maybe masters of art will train their own tortured models in digital dungeons and a rich man’s home won’t be complete without a cyber collective of pathological artist models actively that you guests CAN interrogate about why they chose what on the basement homelab.

You’re talking about oxygen like it’s California Rocket Fuel or meth.

Distillation from having enough logs

TLS just encrypts the IMAP / SMTP sessions, no guarantee it’s stored encrypted, let alone end to end

Certificate pinning is actually rarer today than it was a few years ago. You see it mostly in bank apps, and some system services. It’s not a best practice.

Distillation attacks. The weights are just a proof-of-work hash

I doubt many Spanish or Portuguese speakers refer to themselves in English.

Regardless, sure South Americans can absolutely call themselves Americano in the continental sense. But I know in Brazil for example "Americano" is casually understood to mean from the US, and in general South Americans are more likely to identify as argentino, brasileiro, chileno, colombiano, etc., or as sul-americano/sudamericano.

Most importantly, when speaking English, virtually all will avoid American for themselves because they know in English it means estadounidense.

Well yes. Someone has the other side of the bet, and it’s not 1:1 long:short. That’s how folks could hypothetically hire somebody to kill me, by putting $5M on “floam will survive the month” - if I’m not killed conspirators get their money back, with interest. But if I am verifiably dead, whoever knew in advance a hit man will kill me, that man gets paid.

Very carefully

Stars make it, our sun is made of it, it’s the third most abundant element.

Distant third

6 digits effectively the time salted … the other digits are your lat long lol.

Preferred like people today prefer their private jet? It cost more than your typical annual salary at the time.

I just read that the trip was still a 5 day journey, involving 20+ stops and spinning that takeoff and landing roulette wheel quite a bit..

The novelty factor might have been just as big a deal as time savings. It was something cool to try as an ultra wealthy globe trotter.

Please add an arbitration opt out option or better yet ditch requiring people who care about their rights waive their right to a trial and jury.

I found a flip phone in the fry’s parking lot, my dad turned it in to security, who accepted it with a smirk. I had gone through it and wrote down the phone number belonging to the phone. We called the number a week later and the guy said not only did they not have it in their lost and found, so he had to buy a new phone, but he spent hours with Verizon to make some kind of charges that hit after losing it go away. Maybe 2002 - 2003.

This was not a surprise

There’s a chance this catches on with some folks with blacklisted IMEI’s due to a quirk on AT&T MVNOs where service works for a few days before getting halted per IMSI.

For everyone? I mean it doesn’t seem to apply to Apple, need it apply to Google or Samsung?

They don’t give the customer access to it, for probably an obvious reason.

“Code interpreter” is a product feature the customer can use that isn’t being discussed.

They can obviously support it internally, and the feature exists for ChatGPT, but they’re choosing not to expose that combo in the API yet because of product rollout constraints.

Yeah, that is the axis.

And turns out I didn’t just stumble upon an unconsidered edge case because I got accepted into a drug trial and activated my galaxy brain:

Allan Norwich, The Clinical Trial Research Participant As An Inside Trader (J. Health Law, 2006).

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1485012

The misappropriation theory of insider trading covers anyone who trades on material non public information sourced through a trusted relationship regardless of any fiduciary duty to the company. For example, if I tell my personal attorney a non public fact about the company I work at, and they trade on that information, they absolutely can be found guilty of insider trading despite having no relationship to the company at hand.

Huh. The lawyer example works because attorneys have a very specific, enforceable duty of confidentiality. Swap that relationship out and the conclusion may change. As written, the comment slides from "duty-based misuse of information" to "any private knowledge you shouldn’t have," which is not the same thing.

A lawyer (not my lawyer) gave me his off-the-cuff opinion on this scenario:

A pharmacologically-literate clinical trial participant for a novel new drug strongly suspects he did not receive the placebo/comparator drug, based on the subjective effects, plus their own pharmacology knowledge, experience with the placebo, and the research on the candidate drug.

However, this drug was not therapeutic for him, the side effects were onerous, or perhaps he believes the trial will be halted. Whatever their reasoning behind his inference, no details of others’ experiences were leaked to him, blinding was maintained; protocol was followed. He didn’t base this on a lab readout.

Based on his understanding of published research on the candidate drug, and projecting from his lived experience as lab rat, he believes this trial should disappoint shareholders. At the very least, shares may be priced too high.

Can the participant, based on this inference, invest $$$ shorting the pharma firm? This drug is considered the firm’s last best hope.

Their answer was yes, basically. He can trade on this non-public info.

Thanks, it was kind of frustrating especially as my first contact with a blog.

You can choose on the share sheet, right?

I’m referring to this:

- select something in Photos, then Share.

- tap “Options” under “1 photo selected” top of sheet.

The first choice there is:

Format:

[√] Automatic

[] Current

[] Most Compatible

Choose Automatic for the best format for the destination or Current to prevent file format conversions. Photos and videos may convert to JPEG, PNG, and H.264 formats if you choose Most Compatible.

Most Compatible will put a jpeg on Drive for example, I just verified myself.

I buy gift cards often - if I know I’m going to spend money on Uber, why not give myself 25% off $100 before even any actual promotions are applied?

Parquet files greyed out in my browser.

I wouldn’t kneecap a OS project I wish to be adopted by licensing it GPL. Look at glibc which basically can’t practically support static linking.

You make any of your OS standard libraries GPL and they need to suck to use and can’t statically link your code without being forced to also be licensed GPL.

That viral property some people find desirable.

I stand corrected. I didn’t realize you could be a MIMBY for cell towers and also not currently have service.

Any organized resistance I’ve witnessed myself in the US has been something like an HOA saying no not tucked right here where our home values could take a hit or a view obstructed, please put it down the street or … anywhere else.

But if you had no cell service and your call dropped as you backed out of your garage or you tried to sell your house and the buyers phones suddenly had no service or they couldn’t get on the Internet at the open house, that’d feel like pretty concerning missing infrastructure.

I don’t think anti-5G wackos have dented a thing.

Not literally no signal/service, right? More likely “I have a few bars but data doesn’t seem to work… calls often won’t initiate unless 911?” thing you get when there’s too many devices connecting to an overburdened tower, in a network that needs more cells or something, and QoS/qci says no?

If it’s a population center someone would probably have put up a tower on their land ll
