Hopefully it means waste goes down as more miners become unprofitable and shutdown.

>Developers can choose to adopt these new business terms, or stay on Apple’s existing terms. Developers must adopt the new business terms for EU apps to use the new capabilities for alternative distribution or alternative payment processing.

You don’t have to pay the fee if you stay on the existing business terms.

Or they stay on the App Store and none of those fees apply.

> Instead of simulating an entire mission from launch to docking, “the team decided they would rather run multiple tests with chunks of the mission,” Mullholland said. “Going forward, for every flight, we will do launch to docking and undocking to landing in addition to the other tests we were doing in our qualification testing.”

Given the amount of money and lives at risk, this level of process short-cutting is mind boggling.

Schools should just be allowed to have cell jammers.

My cpap has a cell chip in it. Sends my sleep data to the company, my doctor, and insurance. It’s hipaa protected since it’s a medical device so I don’t worry about it. Would not be as ok with a random tech startup collecting the same data.

Terry’s book is good, but it’s tedious and wordy. It takes a lot of pages to get anywhere interesting.

Maybe read the works of actual accomplished academics and not videos from YouTube grifters?

Those conversations now happen in slack DMs in my experience.

Inference and training are not the same things. AMD has basically no market share in training.

>Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming of the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

They also used unit sales instead of revenue. Pirating a $60 new release and buying a $5 steam game we’re both counted as 1 unit.

Apparently he was a network tech for the classified network. The real scandal here is there weren’t alarm bells ringing somewhere that a low level network tech was printing and viewing top secret documents.

The pitch for SPJ to leave MS research on Haskell for a video game company must have been pretty compelling so I’m very interested to see how this evolves.

>TikTok isn't even mentioned in the text of the act.

Because that would make it a bill of attainder which is unconstitutional.

ABeeSea — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 22:36:32 +0000

That’s just being pedantic. The constitution explicitly bans bills of attainder so any law targeting a specific person or company will be struck down.

And then get hired one county over. So not really any accountability.

I almost wanted to start smoking again after I quit just to stop dreaming. Quit 3 years ago and the dreams are just so vivid and intense versus the dreamless sleep when I was smoking.
