I don't think the D&L is losing anything in that arrangement. They're only ever entitled to the towing and storage fees. Any excess above the towing and storage fees goes to the owner. Fairly pricing the car may make it take

Quite a few radios are direct-- no intermediate frequency, just a set of band selection filters. The direct route does not quite hit the absolute state of the art in dynamic range, but it's close. IC-7300, IC-7610, Elecraft K4, etc.

I'm not sure that unified memory is particularly relevant for that-- so e.g. on zen4/zen5 epyc there is more than enough arithmetic power that LLM inference is purely memory bandwidth limited. On dual (SP5) Epyc I believe the mem

Nice presumption of guilt! Do you also think it's the public's right to have a camera in your bathroom because you might be snorting lines of coke in there? :) The beneficial ownership information goes well beyond shell companies

I agree they're different but I think you have the sense reversed: In the case you complained about the private information is still just being shared within government agencies and is still protected by felony penalties for further w

There is significantly less protection than there is even for tax returns, which themselves clearly receive inadequate protection. In particular, blanket permission is given for warrentless access for "law enforcement activity" an

My point is that invading people's privacy on ownership is not a requirement for effective law enforcement against cartels. Cartels may well commit secondary crimes related to money laundering, but the things cartels do that we actual

How does a regulation that creates an invasive federal ownership registry with no meaningful legislative controls on the confidentiality of that information help to protect the public?

If a cartel is alone in the forest carrying out no kidnappings, assignations, drug sales, or other physical effects that can be policed by conventional means... does it matter? The beneficial ownership registration was a massive privacy inv

In the US you can buy land at quantity for, say, ~$1k/acre in places where there aren't people/infrastructure/etc... There is no shortage of land in the US. There is a shortage of land in a few high density areas. But

You get a related result when you finetune a base model using transcripts from GPT-4 it will pick up some of GPT-4's weird political and "safety" behavior even if you carefully filter the training material. I think it's

Attackers have made extremely good models of mangling that humans perform on passwords, so this kind of change just adds whatever bits of entropy there are in your selection of mangling approaches. It's almost certainly less than you

That dictionary normally has a lot of rather obscure/long/hard to remember stuff. If you 'reroll' until you get a password you like better you're taking an unknown hit to the entropy of the results. It's bette

The figure of merit is security vs memorability. You could imagine two different passwords machine generated with the same entropy under plausible selection schemes: some w$#J8fe keysplat or the selection of 5 words from a dictionary of co

I do credit the comic with being consistent with its own security model-- but attackers having stolen a password database is extremely common (was then too)... and the stakes that users face has also involved in the time since the comic wa

The XKCD comic assumes the attacker has 1000 guesses per second, but a single GPU box on a stolen hash can easily hit a couple billion guesses per second. So the security model of the comic is extremely optimistic compared to some complete

I agree that part is the more substantive change, but OTOH it seems reasonable to me: Why would the president have less oversight over the regulatory acts the bodies he nominally (and constitutionally) supervises than he has over the law
