Is this "mechanical"?

I like couching this as "technical debt" into the future. Feels like something which has to be reviewed, the question being "when" not "if"

One of the "made in EU" -This is not a singular codespace.

Reminded me of a VRML demonstrator inside Notre Dame from decades ago. Different approach, similar outcome. (it used surface texture mapping inside a game engine from my memory)

A lot more architecture would benefit from being available like this splat model. The Pharonic tombs which you can visit in google/other virtual tourism are good, but this is also good!

A reminder any comment about risk FROM china, invites a "Tu Qoque" facing the other way. The paranoia here is probably fully symmetrical.

I see massive risks in belief the inferences drawn from strategic information cannot be seen. So if you depend on some position remaining inside a secure facility but you drove to it from data outside that secure facilty, The likelihood that an inference model can derive the same idea is very high. Collation over public data is not inherently secret because you used a secret model or secret weights.

A more simplistic take might be that the fear is not actually driven in the secrets, the fear is "the emperor has no clothes"

The prior has a point because 98.89% of the time I type xargs -n 1 -0 and we are deep in the useless pipe argument which Rob Pike amongst others has rehearsed well.

I do it because I do it, just like why I use egrep and sed in pipes along with awk.

Randi was very good at debunking other tricksters. That bootstrapped a lot of respect.

I've never really had crowd fear, but after a crush event at an agricultural fair underpass, I acquired it. Shinjuku just before rush-hour brought it back on, and I basically ran away and sat under a tree for an hour or so.

I've been in Tokyo and Ikebukuro at busy times, but nothing has been like Shinjuku to me. Maybe it's the escalators and a certain ordered-but-relentless ant-army mentality getting to the platforms.

This kind of furore happens more than you would think amongst nominatively deterministic rationalist groups. Randi broke with people and re-formed, Dawkins has unbelievably heated arguments over frankly nothing.

Maybe some of it is informed by the overlap with academia. Science has the aphorism "physics advances one funeral at a time" and certainly being on the outer has affected careers. Fred Hoyle was too argumentative, many of his ideas like panspermia have turned out to have elements of plausibility in them (like the cometary origins of water)

Under the Australian Torrens title system, paper is no longer authoritative and if you bring a deceased estate title document to the registry they keep it after updating the titles registry database, unless you ask to get it back and it's stamped to mark it superseded. I know because I've done this journey.

Not Artificial Insemination as far as I can see. A single fertilised egg split into 4 viable foetus.

It is commonly held on reddit that the whales on polymarket and kalshi are what in times past would have been called "inside traders" and suffered accordingly.

Is this even remotely true? Or just over-stated? Or.. completely un-true?

The Fuji Half-frame digital. It's in the space of the Olympus Trip-35, emulating a half-frame effect, so you get 72 shots on a 36 reel. Obviously this is synthetically overlaid on the digital reality but it has some very fundamental qualities aligned closely to fixed focus fixed lens camera experience and Fuji's digital film emulation (about 6 different types) is very good. They even have "out of date" options to get the nasty red blurry blob effect we used to suffer on film kept in the car glovebox.

Not cheap mind you. https://fujifilm-houseofphotography.com.au/pages/fujifilm-x-...

A critique says they should have put more resistance into the lever, made the "wind on" experience better.

Does this not present an asymmetry which can be exploited in play by play betting or do they build in enough hysteresis to make "The Sting" impossible? 30 seconds is a lifetime.

I would suggest the line from Disney "wargames" (1983) is the apposite one:

* The only Winning Move is Not to Play *

Should link to a blog by somebody called Mauchly. And then sell out to some company founded by some "Rand" Guy.

Bit more detail on what ports/pkgs get a speed up or reliability boost would be nice. Dbus? I could imagine applied to insert/remove or plug/unplug it has potential.

A reminder the british government explored handing the Falklands over to Argentina before the war. Fisheries and oil, have changed the view but in times last it was not inconceivable to transfer authority.

Whether or not local cats were more likely to follow lotion wearers was not part of the research, Scofield admitted. “We did not conduct any experiments to see if it is attractive to cats, but given that the active ingredient [nepetalactone] has well-known cat-attractive properties, I would expect they would quite like it,” he said.

To forestall the obvious questions.

Surely the headline should be LinkedIn humbled to be a cesspool of...

I actually meant the reverse: Government and related information, highly strategic information is dispersed, but winds up in the model. Inferences from the information are not uploaded but the model is trained in ways which expose the inferences, and thus the secure-room-only information of strategic value leaks into the model, and becomes visible to people sharing access to the model. If the partitions between government and private models are weak, then I see the risk.

Quite a lot of government secrets are bound up in trade. If the data about trade and goals in private sector enterprises forms the backbone of department of state strategic intent, then to some extent, the model will reinforce "what is the actual intent of the state department in pursuit of these apparent goals over the same data"

"oh, I didn't SAY that we were going to totally onshore VLSI before 2030" is one thing. Being able to draw the inference over land deals, taxation changes, state level decisions, planning decisions, related strategic supply chain decisions, pending cases in review, matters not available for discussion as a collected set over time...

Yes, that's also being done. A critique I have seen is that this is empowering the rich to get richer. Renters are less likely to be able to adopt these strategies.

The loss of privacy in the data worries me immensely. I would be amazed if there are not significant public/open data analysis opportunities into government strategic planning which in effect reconstruct content never meant to have left a secure facility.

The requirement is to accept time of use TOU variant charging and if you cannot shift enough load into 3 hours you may pay more overall for power in other times of day.

Demand shifting is good. Do not mistake this as free energy, it very much depends. Many people still don't have TOU meters and many people won't successfully move load into the window.

Fixed line costs are rising massively. Electricity should be significantly cheaper but the economics here favour incumbents and people like John Quiggin arguing for renationalisation are drowned out.

And my point is that it's a label on a cyclical trend. But sure, he wanted to reason about romanticism specifically. He cuts off very early in the new century, and the romanticism presaged a 50year cycle of revolution and revolt against the congress of Vienna. The tide swung back and forth.

Ultimately the second source will have to be optionally not the US. Then they have a product Europe politically can be interested in. But as long as the primary snoop is the US, then fallback to a US D.C. is problematical.

(Happy paying pobox.com fastmail customer. This is a stellar product and they work in IETF on email standards. Good people)

Is this just a posh version of Millinarianism? I don't think so but I ask "why stop at 1800" and look at 1900 and 1700 and 1600 thinking there's signals every 100 years of a bit of Apple Cart upsetting.
