the links says explosives + guidance system, but guidance system still allowed in hobby project as long aim toward sun (eg. sun is the target, same for stabilization), I think having horizontal stabilization hitting an target would be equal to breaking law.

Many mention ITAR or some other issue, nothing about this project is even close to ITAR (as far I understand), connecting camera to rocket using it as guidance will get in trouble most likely, if not mistake only thing allowed is using camera to AIM at sun.

https://www.youtube.com/@LafayetteSystems is similar project, also by actual defense contractor, and less opensource.

I don't understand this, for example, what would you have done if you where Ukrainian right now ? (before 2014 arguably start of conflict and after invasion)

Or may be education should be more dynamic, engaging, and interactive, instead of having lowest paid teacher jobs, with overcrowded classes, heavenly focused on boring memorization (without clear purpose), and boring tests.

in modern day, at least stories I heard, criminals will be placed in temp holding sell (worst places), once max time in temp jail is expiring (legally allowed), they just add new charges, so effectively, you will be held in worst jail cell possible for weeks if not months, this is how I understood from stories of multiple life time criminals with 10+ years in jail time served.

how sure are you that google is ranking lowest by contributions to open source projects ?

how system updates and maintains own model(s) when new information added in form of single/few observation and/or interactions, without ability to replay data, without catastrophic forgetting etc..., and importantly, how such system's model(s) grow in complexity while retaining stability and redundancies.

at least in my limited perspective, root issue is learning dynamics of internal model that represents self (internal world) and external world.

GPT has no sense, or care when it is wrong or right, such sense is only (arguably) driven by human through prompt interaction and throughout training of model, while humans and other animals able to update there's internal state just from single observation or interaction, and integrate future information with such single observation for very long time.

New comment by neatze in "How to delete your data from data brokers"

neatze — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 16:22:35 +0000

I tried Optery, Incogni, and long time ago OneRep, way to lazy to do it myself, don't worry they will have my info, data is already on internet.

Incogni at least in there's claim offers opt-out from private databases (no way to verify ) and some but not all public database (eg. google searches).

Optery has largest list of public databases (with most expensive subscription) out of everyone else, there's costumer service is responsive regarding failed removal.

OneRep was not bad long time ago when they run it from Belarus (I know, crazy), but they would refresh somehow search caches too (it could be ok, or make things worse), they don't seem to offer advertise this service any more.

Don't search your self only via google, for example, bing will give different results, some databases will have misspelled names (could be deliberately), so there still some work to make sure all records are removed.

At this point, this is like privacy tax that you have to budget to have at least your address on cell phone number not easily discoverable.

New comment by neatze in "CLI user experience case study"

neatze — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 13:36:12 +0000

seems like wrong case study, cli power (at least for me) is in comments and record keeping what has been done months if not years ago, and an "easy way" to script repetitive tasks, I just don't see how same thing can be achieved with GUI:

record video and then comment it ?

have detailed logs what button, and what fields where edits/pressed ?

etc ...

There is not way in hell, I will be able to work for such company more then 6 month (well may be it if it is 7 figures, but even then I don't think I last longer then one year), I am sorry who has to go through this.

Same, I just use in many places instead of first google searches, it is so easy to narrow search to a highly specific topic.

This argument (at least the way I am reading), goes deep in uncertainty modeling (Partially Observed Stochastic Games the hardest class to optimize for), stock market here used as analogy more then it is not.

> Oh wait…every hedge fund bro is already doing this. And most of them aren’t billionaires. The problem is your model needs to include all the computers playing the market, and it also needs to include the other hedge fund bros themselves. This strategy only dominates if you have more compute than the whole market itself, which you don’t.

Best part of this article, honestly, I did not expected this, of-course one can say we just need more abstractions (how does brain/living things build them?), but this would be ignoring dynamical nature of such problems.
