So can we (i.e. Europe) finally stop appeasing him? Full on trade war? We know he eventually backs down, he’s show it with China.

I liked central bank people supporting Powell recently, that felt like a step in the right direction. (First time anyone from Switzerland, my country, has shown any balls anyway.)

Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, went to talk with Hitler in 1938, and under his pressure added Austrian Nazis to his government, for example on the Interior Minister post.

France officially complained about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, and later about the Anschluss of Austria in 1938.

Poland talked to Hitler and rejected their demands to hand over Danzig in 1937.

So I guess yes, on specific points at specific times. But I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing you meant?

Yeah you get a lot of options on Linux. I used pdftk last time.

Unfortunately the parameters here were, “elderly dude” “needs GUI” and “on Windows” :-(

Someone asked me yesterday what products besides Adobe’s there were for his elderly cousin to merge PDFs, or extract pages. I proposed a few options, so I’m technically helping to lose money for Adobe. I’m doing my part 😁

check-out “model extraction attacks”

The search results I’m seeing for that term point to people extracting (a clone of) the model, through interacting with the available API of an otherwise closed model. I’m not really seeing anyone interacting with a model to extract its training input data.

Is there a better search term, or do you have a more direct reference to lossless extraction of training data from model weights?

It would be very funny and well deserved if they invested on his pressure and in a few years Venezuela just nationalises everything again.

the next president will basically dedicate their career to undoing Trump’s BS

And don’t forget half the time Trump undoes his own purported industrial policy.

With the tariffs he was so inconsistent and capricious, that nobody could rely on having an edge over foreign competition long term and so nobody would dare to invest in manufacturing in the USA. If he felt like it he just cut them off from their essential foreign inputs too. Not to mention how he threatened pulling back the CHIPS Act subsidies from Intel, or how he raided Hyundai.

My best guess is that since BCS-East was finished 1995, and both countries only had telecom liberalisation in 2003, maybe there was a time where it was easier to build through the water, because it wouldn’t encroach on the monopolists market on the land.

Or it was a sort of easier starter project before the BCS-East-West Interlink was built until 1997 from Lithuania over to Gotland, while also allowing Alcatel to sell access from/to Gotland from/to both Lithuania and Latvia.

FWIW, this has NOT disrupted the local internet significantly.

That’s good to hear. I figured between Lithuania and Latvia there should be enough terrestrial routes for redundancies to work out fine.

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.

But it does say right on that page:

Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.

Not that many it seems… Ignoring extremely pricey ones, I could find the Lenovo ThinkVision E65 LFD for what converts to 1200 USD in a local shop. And even that is not really price competitive.

HDMI has never been an open standard (to the best of my understanding anyway). You’ve always needed to be an adopter or a member of HDMI forum to get the latest (or future) specs. So it’s not like they’ve just rejected a new idea.

Okay not publishing the spec is still the same, but something else is new nonetheless.

AMD is an adopter*, they have the spec and they implemented a driver for 2.1 intended to be open sourced in Linux. But they were still blocked from publishing it. For HDMI 1.4 that wasn’t an issue yet from what I’ve found (though it’s always hard to search for non-existence). Open source implementations of HDMI 1.4, even in hardware description languages, seem to exist.

*you can search for “ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES” here to confirm for yourself

vu, the past participle of voir.

Oh I remember. There are tons of events and associated handlers. Even just switching to landscape view stops and restarts an android view I think. Friends at uni handled that problem by disallowing landscape view instead of handling it hahah

But that’s exactly the lesson. You help the weak supressed civilians against the powerful authoritarian racist military.

Religion is not the part that mattered in the Holocaust.

Hope he doesn’t get the Kashoggi treatment. After all “things happen”, according to Trump.

When riding trains I look at the concrete cable canal running along the tracks thinking about whether we rent any fibers in that one or not.

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That’s super fun in a new code base.

Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.
