Cookies bisect into useful state for session management and all the other truly awful uses. Unfortunately it's impossible to avoid "the evil bit" problem and you cannot a priori know it's a useful or useless cookie.

QUIC session state has potential but I believe won't end the dependency. If you don't keep state in the browser side and you want either idempotent or portable state outcomes you have to have a three way rendezvous to restore prior state into a new binding.

Because for individuals making rational decisions, tending to crops and livestock is easier than hunting and gathering, and it won't necessarily be obvious over the timescale of a lifeapan that such a lifestyle is detrimental to health, especially if you're talking about a pre-scientific, pre-literate society with no real form of record keeping.

Plus, the shift is going to be gradual - you start by supplementing with a small garden, a handful of captive prey animals during hard times, then after some number of generations you come to rely more and more on agriculture without necessarily realizing why or even if your tribe is showing minor signs of mysterious illness. And then if you do realize that something is up, you're probably cursing the earth/gods/demons for your illnesses, rather than coming to understand the true variety required in a healthy diet and abandoning the convenience of your farming practices, which are in no way an obvious problem.
Can you truly have free markets in a decades-long timespan? Lobbying to rewrite laws seems like a given for large companies. Free market telecom doesn't seem like an equilibrium.
Random words, yes. With random words, you've turned your set of 40 or so symbols into a set of 150K or so symbols, so it's fine that you've got fewer of them in your password.

I'm skeptical about actual sentences. With an actual sentence more common words will be chosen (so a smaller set of symbols), it will have a structure (no need for an attacker to try, for instance 'noun noun noun noun noun'), and people will probably choose from more common patterns: "I really hate arbitrary requirements."
Amazon was the only place I could find XXL leather work gloves. All the big box stores have XL at most, which shrink down to an L. That saves me money as I don’t have to throw them out when they shrink.

I believe in doing this as well. These companies make or break themselves by delivering one product, and so you can trust they're going to do a very committed job of it. In comparison, services from Google seem like they're done by rotating groups of people who don't really care about what they're doing, and there's no longevity in the services unless they're super profitable.

Bizarrely, there's no good word for "pertaining to a country". The likely preferred option "national" is subject to a similar objection ("It gets even worse when said foreign country isn't a nation!"--not all countries are nation-states, and we have more than one salient example in the anglosphere!), and "state" has the unfortunate property of meaning something very different to an American.

Given modern medicine etc. more people are approaching the maximum lifespan, but we aren’t increasing the maximum.

Some people in the middle ages lived well into their 80s, just not nearly as many as today.

I’ve found various recent complex-strategy-game AI efforts very interesting, but always have one key complaint: They don’t properly ground the mechanical execution of their AI to realistic human levels for comparison. And if you give the AI an unfair mechanical advantage, your model isn't going to have to learn nearly as good of strategy. I will say however - this is the closest to realistic I have seen - but is still lacking.

The two main measurable parameters of performance are:
1 - reaction time
2 - rate/volume of actions (i.e. Actions Per Minute)
And I would argue some there should be an additional consideration of some form of:
3 - mouse-click accuracy

I read through the details of the implementation, and they did decent at 1, 2 but overall need to do better.

Their reaction times end up as a random draw between 170-270ms. I think raw, simple visual reaction times for a pro gamer could be ~200ms, BUT that’s just for a simple “click this button when the light changes” type of tests. There are “complex reaction time” tests where you sometimes click, but other times don’t (eg a red or green light), and reaction times in that case are around ~400ms. I think if a pro is in a game situation where they anticipate their opponent will take some action and are ready to immediately respond, 200ms is a fair reaction time. But that’s not the usual state through a game, and the bot effectively has that perfect anticipation mindset at all times. So not crazy, superhuman reactions, but definitely not completely realistic/fair either.

In regard to action rate, they allow the model to take 1 action every 7.5 ms - which translates to 450 APM. The very best pro gamers are in the 300-350 APM range. And i think a humans actions include various thoughtless click spamming (which AI doesn’t need to do), as well as visual map movement/unit examination that an AI would not need as much of with a direct, comprehensive feed available information. So the sustained 450 APM seems pretty superhuman to me - BUT dota 2 is much less of a APM intensive game, and certainly sustained APM isn’t as important. And humans get get higher APM in important burst moments whereas this AI is at an exact fixed rate of 450 APM. So all-in-all, the APM is maybe fair (at least close to fair)

The mouse click accuracy piece, however is pretty unfair if the ai can make precise clicks across the screen with no affect to reaction time. This factor isn’t considered at all by the AI team. I feel they should either add in some randomization to simulate inaccuracy, or cause delayed reaction time based on how far the mouse would have to move.

With all these factors combined - I still feel this is not quite a fair test. But it’s closer than other’s I’ve seen, and it’s still a very impressive overall achievement! I’d love to see them go the small extra distance of constraining these mechanical performance parameters just a bit more. I feel that would make a BIG difference in the level of strategy required to beat the best humans. They’re SOOO close to amazing me!

I agree and an important question is what is a good strategy to mobilize action in advance of disaster. The news is full of warnings about impending disasters. (Most) people can't evaluate the relative risk of each of these events, so the natural response is to be overwhelmed and assume we will deal with it when/if it occurs. I don't know if it would have much of an effect on how inclined readers would be to act, but articles like this one would be a lot more compelling if they included real data that demonstrates NYC is at a greater risk than it has been in the past or than other similar cities around the world.
So Google licenses lyrics that don't exist in text format. How does that work?

Seems like Google has a license to listen to the audio, produce the text lyrics and then use these lyrics.

Since Google is indirectly stealing these lyrics, their license is not valid.

If your project is OSS, what prevents them from taking it and "force you" (as an employee) to work on it anyway?

Maybe a restrictive license may help: if your company takes the code and modify it, make them under the obligation of releasing the source code too.

What is the current license of your project?

Ultimately, nothing prevents you from deleting your public Git repo. You can decide that your project is not available anymore, it is your right.

Apple device location sharing (including Apple Watch) uses end-to-end encryption with keys shared between devices when you explicitly accept a location sharing request or explicitly turn on the Find My X functionality, which is probably the closest thing on the market to what you're looking for.

You are trying to refute this article with whataboutism, but there is something unique and different about Chinese culture and corruption. The article even names it; "Corruption is the hidden golden rule of China". It's endemic; inherent to the Chinese culture. It's not seen as morally problematic. It's admirable if you can get away with it. It's very close to Might is Right as a belief system.

In the last nine years my new job has me interacting intimately with Chinese nationals in the USA and China. Every few months I get reminded that most, but not all, Han Chinese have very different moral rules. It's very disheartening.
There were some Dr. Who episodes from I think the 1970's that were made while the sound effect technicians were on strike. The show must go on, so they were released without any effects dubbed in. It was always a low budget show, but seeing it without the cheesy sound effects was especially hilarious.
I wasn't trying to argue with you, I merely laid out what is commonly thought about the subject matter. Sorry if that sounds patronizing (it's really not meant to). Anyway, if you want to publish a paper defending a dualist position nowadays in any reputable journal, you'll have to address points 1&2 in one way or another, whether you believe you have to or not. It's not as if that problem hadn't been discussed during the past 60 years or so. There are whole journals dedicated to it.

> if the mind can be shown to perform physically uncomputable tasks

That's true. Many people have tried that and many people believe they can show it. Roger Penrose, for example. These arguments are usually based on complexity theory or the Halting Problem and involve certain views about what mathematicians can and cannot do. As I've said, I've personally not been convinced by any of those arguments.

Your mileage may differ. Fair enough. Just make sure that you do not "know the answer" already when starting to think about the problem, because that's what many people seem to do when they think about these kind of problems and it's a pity.

> calling a position names, such as 'mystical', does nothing to determine the veracity of the position. At best it is counter productive by distracting from the logic of the argument.

That wasn't my intention, I use "mystical" in this context in the sense of "does not provide any better understanding or scientifically acceptable explanation." Many of the (modern) arguments in this area are inferences to the best explanation.

By the way, correctly formulated computationalism does not presume physicalism. It is fully compatible with dualism.
I mean, my read of this is:

1. We used a system which uses event loops to achieve great concurrency, but we turned that off because we don't trust it.
2. Instead, we spent $300k/yr rolling out one-process-per-API as though we were using Apache 1.3.
3. We used an arbitrary JSON library without knowing anything about its performance characteristics, which it turns out were inordinately bad

It's not that this wasn't a great exercise in engineering and problem-solving, or that it's not a great demonstration of how to solve scaling problems at scale, those are definitely true. It's more that "we spent $300k/yr more than we needed to so our engineers didn't need to learn how to use our technology stack properly."

I'm not meaning to be harsh, I've kludged enough garbage into production in my lifetime, but more that the fact that you got into that situation in the first place gives a poor impression of either your development team or your development processes.
Naive question: given that this is obviously being done on a system with Ruby, why not just write the script in Ruby instead of bash?
Long overdue. It might be useful to retrain historical data and algorithms on a new normative image while we have people in crossover state so we have some continuity otherwise we will inherit a pre Lena, Lena and post lena view of visual artifacts and chroma.
Intel is a big company, but this also has the background context of their fierce competition (which arguably they are losing) with other chip makers in the enthusiast space. Maybe would explain an attempt for more R&D green field projects.
At the undergrad level it doesn't matter.
I'm as so tired of trying to read these "deep learning" AI papers that deliberately obfuscate what they did and didn't do. Often by using deliberately ambiguous terminology, over-explaining the domain and immediately flooding you with low-level detail even in high-level descriptions.

Each paper should start with unambiguous description of:

1. What are the inputs of the model.

2. What are the outputs of the model.

3. What is the overall size of the model. Size, not parameter count.

4. What part of the domain has been manually encoded into the architecture and what has been learned over the training period.

5. What are the restrictions on the domain compared to real life.

6. How the performance is evaluated.

This should be on the first few pages. I.e. the descriptions of what the model does should precede the description of how it does it.

No, it doesn't. No one is describing, say, the Geisel Library as 'brutal', unless they've heard that it is Brutalist and didn't understand the etymology.
I don't doubt VAT could work, nor that it does work. But we can't compare various small countries to the entirety of the U.S. I'm sure VAT could work well in many U.S. states, too. But the better comparison is with the EU and China, where VAT imposes serious problems. Our existing system also has serious problems, but I'm skeptical that a VAT would prove anything more than a lateral move. Implementing it with the expectation of significantly increased revenue and fairness is definitely too optimistic. Most Obamacare cost mitigation reforms were taken from evidenced-based and theoretically-grounded economic policy research. While some of it has worked well, the dividends have nonetheless been notoriously underwhelming. Which isn't to say they should be rejected, just that we should moderate our expectations regarding applied economic theory.

"Neoliberal" has become an epithet in this country precisely because textbook economic theory hasn't played out as well as expected here. Part of it is because the theory was too simplistic at scale, and part of it is because its application in the U.S. is difficult and often impossible--the U.S. has significant political and social problems and attitudes that impede the application of certain kinds of policies. Part of it is that it has worked well, but some policies make for an easier scapegoat than others. Obamacare is again instructive. Nobody doubts, nor is anybody even surprised, that Obamacare needs reform. It was designed with processes to systematize ongoing reform. (One aspect of which was spun as "death panels".) But because of its politicization and our extreme political polarity, constructive, incremental reform has become impossible. Instead we teeter between radical rejection and paralysis.

We've become a nation obsessed with radical reform precisely because we're incapable of faithful, consistent application of social policy generally. Technology (VAT is a social technology) won't save us. Our problems are deeper.

It very much nostalgically brought me back to the beginning of the decade, when fantastic "open-world" single-player RPG's like Mass Effect 2, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Witcher 2, Dragon Age: Origins etc were being realised in quick succession. For me personally, that was a golden era. It's great to have something like The Outer Words fulfilling that itch that has been present for so long. If you like any of the games mentioned, I also recommend checking it out.

The flip side of infinite variety is also that there are some truly terrible products for sale online that would never make it past the selection process to get brick-and-mortar shelf space. So while going to a physical store results in just choosing the best of the available options, online shopping requires at least some research or else you end up wasting money on things that are utterly worthless or, worse yet, put your health and/or other property at risk.
