Wait, the NYT just did due diligence on their lawsuits and saw if getting copyright material from the model is possible, what does openAI wants, for the NYT to try one prompt and then to stop trying? For all they know they had to try until getting a result to be sure.

Why? Aren't they more practical than ever?


Any comparison to ImHex? https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex


HexWalk is much simpler than ImHex. It uses Qt so the GUI is more native (ImHex, of course, uses Dear ImGui). HexWalk is much more "fixed function" than ImHex. ImHex is basically a core hex editor view with a canvas you can fill with an endless stream of plugins.

For a comparative newbie, I'd say HexWalk is simpler than ImHex and offers a decent baseline feature set for simple tasks. I prefer the native UI widgets to Dear ImGui ones. It gains features each release and is slowly catching up to HxD (which is IMO the Gold Standard for "fixed function advanced features hex editor," to the point that I run it in Wine even on Linux and OSX). Some elements of the UI feel wasteful/clunky compared to HxD, but a lot about hex editors boils down to personal preference.


This is ridiculous and bordering on misinformation, polio was already prevalent in AF before the 2014 revelation, in large part BECAUSE of the talibans.

"In Afghanistan and Pakistan, fears that the vaccine contained contraceptives were one reason given by the Taliban in issuing fatwas against polio vaccination.[47][43][48]"

Even outside of that, the talibans would have shot those health workers eventually like they did with the 9 year old girl that wanted education, they do not like outsiders showing people their environment can be better.


> Matthew and Rachelle felt mounting unease about Zac’s trajectory. He was growing up too quickly, and he sometimes behaved belligerently—stomping around their flat, slamming doors, at times becoming physically intimidating. Fearing that he was taking drugs, they asked his childhood physician to draw blood at his next checkup and surreptitiously screen it.

No wonder the kid had issues

edit: they also hid cameras


Yeah the parents seem ridiculously negligent here - when your 19 year old son is palling around with 45 year old Oligarchs who live on Park Lane you sit them down and have a long chat with them, because they've probably already got one foot in the grave.


I haven't found a good modern security guide, it's either incomplete blogspam or dusty tomes like this one. It's not bad but I need recent practical advice, stuff like how to securely set up postgres and a reverse proxy, and not the bare example, something actually realistic, all I get are more firewall advice :(


I don't understand, he is using stock art and few artists but still spending $40,000? That doesn't seem cheap to me.


Game art outsourcing is still pretty expensive, even if it's cheaper than hiring people full time. Asset packs are cheap but not that cheap. 40k is pretty modest for art on a modern game.


It's a really cool project, thank you for all the work. Is there a list of fabrics it can cut? I guess no synthetics?


It will cut basically any fabric. I have used it to cut synthetics (polyester) and I've cut heavy cotton with it. The hardest materials to cut are white fabrics as they reflect a lot of light, but you can always go slower. It can take a while to cut a large white thick cotton piece though. If that was desired it would make sense to go for a slightly higher powered laser module if one was available.


How bad is the burned edge? I also imagine it would be quite different for cotton and synthetic fabrics.

Amazing project!


Thanks!

The burned edge for synthetics is itchy. You can either design the garment to hide that edge from skin contact, or design your cuts to be a bit large and then snip off the edge that would be in skin contact (beats manually tracing out the entire pattern). The burned edge for cotton is nicer.


> Part of the problem is that their safety driver was watching something on their phone and not actually watching out like they were supposed to. If they had actually been paying attention, that would've been avoidable

Safety drivers are a poor solution, it's too easily boring (try watching driving videos for more than 10 min straight), so it's completely Cruise fault.


You are confusing Cruise with Uber in your response. Uber had a safety driver issue. Cruise had an issue with a driverless vehicle dragging a pedestrian.


> it’s curious that this “socialist” “anarchist” author is largely revered for his critiques of communism

Stalinism is not communism though, plenty of communists still hate it to this day, if anything Orwell is known for criticism of totalitarianism, not communism.


But he never wrote a novel providing a depiction of the pitfalls of corporate capitalism or right-wing ideology.


He traveled to a foreign country and joined a militia to put his life on the line fighting fascism. Does that demonstrate more or less skin in the game against fascism than Stalinism?
