I use it as my regular terminal, works great.

While your presentation is probably getting you downvoted, this is the real problem. They use this information to control/influence government officials or people with power.

Well mostly I was fixating on the health insurance, and how health insurance's growth rate has slowed, but healthcare costs have gone way up in general and health insurance covers almost nothing anymore while deductibles have also gone up (for me). But again it's about rates, and I guess when I look at Figure 3 again it just seems deceptive.. a personal computer purchase for me includes a GPU and those prices did not decline (the total cost of a gaming PC like tripled over that time period). Overall this just seems like it's cheer-leading industries that are shrink-flating: health insurance that covers nothing, shit tvs, cheap crappy PCs, airline fares (ever shrinking leg room?).

Edit: Also probably because I remember when the dollar had WAY more purchasing power, so my baseline is skewed already. But this "increase" in purchasing power is just a return to more normal levels. This data feels more relatable.. slightly less purchasing power since 2019 https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/purchasing-power-constant...

This is so weird.. my experience doesn't match with this data at all.

2005 web style!

Thanks for replying I appreciate the insight, although as someone else mentioned the most obvious use (to me) for KYC is censorship / de-banking and I think that was it's intended purpose all along because there's nothing about KYC that specifically enables the two things you mentioned that couldn't be done by a bank on it's own.

>Banking is the first industry where I encountered KYC, and it strikes me as being obviously good there.

This is not obvious to me as my experience has been largely negative post-KYC/9-11 vs pre-KYC/9-11. I am a legal law abiding citizen [and voter!] and it's just added extra hassle on various occasions and then the background anxiety of knowing an institution with crappy security track records hold a photocopy of my ID. And yet all the things KYC was supposed to prevent still continue unabated: money laundering, terrorist financing, identity theft, and financial fraud.

I'm curious to hear why you think it's obviously good and if you were using these services before KYC.

>Sorry; I just don't follow. Google isn't "protecting" me from F-droid

Yes, they give you a warning to scare off normal users and you have to enable installing from 3rd party sources. My point isn't that they're "protecting" you at all, my point is it's security theater.

>Nor is Google (AFAIK; if there's evidence to the contrary I'd be interested to see it) providing cellphone data to nations that are targeting them for death

Various subsystems on android are controlled by Google and they enable Google to collect and consolidate all of the telemetry/usage data etc (effectively google is root on your phone).

Google is also part of PRISM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM#Media_disclosure_of_PRIS...

This information is used to select targets and kill people:

"Since 2002, and routinely since 2009, the U.S. government has carried out deliberate and premeditated killings of suspected terrorists overseas. In some cases, including that of Anwar Al-Aulaqi, the targets were placed on “kill lists” maintained by the CIA and the Pentagon. According to news accounts, the targeted killing program has expanded to include “signature strikes” in which the government does not know the identity of individuals, but targets them based on “patterns” of behavior that have never been made public. The New York Times has reported that the government counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent."

I'm upset that google is basically just the data collection arm of giant murder machine and it's being automated.

Here's my experience.. got a Vive, ZERO motion sickness, was developing some games and toys with it for 6 months or so. Played about 20 minutes of some Resident Evil game on PSVR and got REALLY motion sick around the 10 minute mark and just powered through for another 10 minutes. I had to lay down and it took a good hour to fully recover. Now I can't play VR at all without getting sick, start getting the sweats and nausea as soon as I put my vive headset on. completely ruined VR for me, never finished my game I was working on, VIVE just collecting dust. Fuck the PSVR, I'm still mad about it.

Can't believe Sublevel Zero Redux isn't on your list!

This game is such an underappreciated hidden gem.

Small steps get us things like pop ups on every webpage or TSA. You'll just slowly create a bureaucratic dystopia. We need giant sweeping reform of privacy laws in the US and a restoration of the 4th amendment.

You're arguing in bad faith, making this about browser history, this is about data collection of the sensor array that is your smart phone device, two very different things. It's hilarious to claim that what google is doing by disabling app access matters at all when google created the problem and profits from it in a really shady way all the while pretending to be doing you a service by protecting you from those 'shady' apps (and 3rd party app stores like say.. f-droid). And then using that data to _literally_ kill people. I'm not saying those apps aren't shady, I'm saying google pretending to protect you is shady.

Not in the context of the government buying the data, they'll just buy it from google instead of shadowgovt.databroker.com. It's a red herring, a feel good feature that just limit's googles competition and doesn't really change the information collected on us.

Doesn't really matter when google itself makes its data and infrastructure available for "target acquisition" AI. See Project Maven and Nimbus.

LOL - people have said shit like this to my face my whole life, including some CS admissions guy at CMU but he had the nerve to throw in a derogatory remark about ADD too. Just normal shit that happened in the 90's I guess.

I think you're on the right track here.. corporate death, shares voided, assets frozen in perpetuity, buildings, land, machinery. Everything frozen forever to stand as a warning to the next executive or employee before doing something like this.

Is this the paper you're referring to? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2021/0...

It's ok to have heroes.

Diagnosed with ADHD here, there's nothing ADHD friendly about this imo. I'm REALLY into reverse engineering content and I just bounced right off the GIANT WALL of text at the beginning.

It's presented in a highly linear conversational fashion but the data doesn't appear to need to be linear. I absorb things in a non-linear fashion (I jump around, sometimes I even read/skim things backwards and out of order.) So it could easily be made ADHD friendly with clear delineation between ideas. A really simple way to do this would be surrounding definition blocks with a slightly lighter background color box and sticking strictly to necessary data, not using conversational language.

Also the color scheme sucks (or rather is non-functional at least to me.). The blue text words really stick out, but the white bold text is what's important. However it also matches with the headers since they seem to be the same font and color, it's really distracting for some reason. Under assembly instructions specifically: like all I see is "value, register, destination, source, destination, expression, destination, destination, destination,..." literally the least important information is highlighted.

The sidebar on the left is distracting too and pulls my eye constantly.

Equating Beginner with ADHD is also mildly offensive and defeats the point if this is targeted at people suffering from ADHD. People with ADHD dive head first in the deep end or not at all, no exceptions. If it's labelled beginner/for-dummies, I'm skipping it or at best skimming it (like i did with this).

Thanks but... no thanks, you've missed my point entirely. Why would I want to run peer to peer software built by developers whose security stance starts with curl-bash? Would you curl-bash a webserver? an email server? No? Probably even worse for your source code repository then right?

Ah.. my high hopes were immediately dashed by the trash that is curl-bash. What a great signal for thoughtless development, if this project catches on I can't wait to watch the security train wreck unfold. Maybe someday we'll get an "Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative" that doesn't start with the worst possible way to install something.

>Yes, OpenAI was literally founded by a computer worshipping religious cult.

What cult is this?

This is your boss subtly commenting that your weed use is noticeable.

This is anecdotal I guess but I know I'm not alone.. as someone who has been forced to live in more dense housing with each move the older I get.. (grew up in a house,shared walls, more shared walls, and now an apartment with shared walls and people above me). Misery vastly increases with density, at least for me. People are loud, inconsiderate and fucking gross. There's trash and broken shit everywhere, people idle their cars and cause noise pollution from the exhaust reverberating on the buildings or their stereos, no one owns the communal areas so they get trashed because nobody gives a shit. Common areas smell horrible, or are overpoweringly scented with air freshener. Living in dense housing as driven me absolutely mad, and I have more buying power than I've ever enjoyed in my life it's ridiculous so it's not like I'm forced to live in dense housing and poverty. So when I read shit like 'people like people - we WANT to be close to one another' I get triggered as fuck, I'm not sure I know any adult that would prefer to live in a house over an apartment. Also... There's almost zero cultural tolerance, people silo into their cultural bubbles and refuse to integrate.

We're just gonna stick our heads in the sand and pretend we don't live in an authoritarian police state dystopia then?

This seems like an AI written article bashing AI. Complete with a numbered list where the AI forgot how to count. Oh and it's literally just SEO article spam selling a "workshop".

>HDMI 2.1 is not currently compatible with an open driver

This is a false narrative, it's literally just not implemented.

>Buy a DP to HDMI active converter and stay open, or else accept the proprietary software into your stack. If that is not possible, look elsewhere for your software, GPL is not for you.

This is just so... user hostile. The paid amd developers can't get around to finishing their drivers so use a proprietary dongle with closed source everything in between your screen and your computer, and if I don't accept this "GPL" isn't for me. Lol.. just.. no.

>[OLD] AMD cards work very well in linux.

The new ones crash constantly and have new crash bugs every release and still 2 years later don't properly support 120hz @ 4k or anything HDMI 2.1 despite being advertised that they a) worked on linux and b) supported HDMI 2.1

>That's a rather odd comparison to make. First of all, OP, like llama.cpp, doesn't use the GPU

When was the last time you looked at llama.cpp? It has supported GPU, GPU+CPU, and distributed inference using OpenMPI for awhile now. It also supports training, as well as negative prompting and grammars! The ease of getting llama.cpp running on just about anything has already started innovation.
