Imagine it was not a reporter, but rather someone who allegedly had burgled a house or stolen a car--someone who, unlike the reporter, is not sure that they are going to be released soon probably without being charged. Someone who maybe has prior convictions and might be looking at the wrong end of his state's "repeat offender" laws.

It's pretty obvious you'd handcuff them as soon as you arrested them, because even if they are not resisting or trying to flee now, there is a real risk that they are only not doing so because they don't think the odds are good at that moment, but will do so if the opportunity arises. They might just be waiting for the officers to be distracted, or to be left along with only one officer.

None of that applies to the reporter, of course, but do we want police making that kind of judgement? At the very least it would raise thorny issues about bias in how they choose who to handcuff and who to not handcuff.
"We got away with murdering a man in broad daylight, who cares about arresting a couple journalists?", would be my guess.
Choosing a Database for Serverless Applications
former brain scientist weighing in here. the brain seems to do some operations which resemble Fourier transforms. We also use logrithmic scaling. Combine those two and you get a lot of the harmonics.

So yes, you ask a good question, but in fact there is some knowledge of the hardware which supports the empirical observations of musicians and composers.

and yes, music is still a mystery. There is a lot more going on than scale, pitch, and harmonics.

It doesn't happen enough. Nowhere near enough. The number of companies which apply to YC versus the number which are actually accepted is a very bad ratio. YC and all other incubators combined do not represent a free market by any stretch of the imagination. They're picking winners based on some selection criteria which worked at one point in history... This funnel has been so thoroughly gamed and hacked that at this stage, they might as well invest in random companies. Does anyone realize just how hard it is to get even $20k in funding for a hard working honest founder who is not a psychopathic manipulator. IMO, anybody who can't setup a functional profitable business with $20k funding is unfit to run any company. You've got to give a first chance to more people and fewer second, third and fourth chances to charming psychos.
How is looting stores and destroying public property a proper way to protest?
Obsidian is a crazy project, and I would recommend you all to give it far more weight when deciding to use it or not. Before I switched to Notion earlier this year, I used to maintain my notes in a Github repository. A folder with a bunch of markdown and txt files. I then used some editor like Sublime Text to easily switch between pages and to write. And sometimes, I would render them using a combination of [Markserv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/markserv) (to convert Markdown to static HTML files), and [Live Reload Addon](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-reload/) to pull those HTML files from disk every second. It was ugly, but it worked for me for years.

Obsidian fits this workflow perfectly. I use Notion now, but I believe it's got too many bells and whistles, syntactic sugar, and non-native text editing experience, which makes me focus more on the interface than the content. I'm making the shift back to my previous way of managing notes/knowledge (going to take weeks), only because of this Application. I recommend you keep a close eye on it.

I am not in any way involved with the project.

I have been thinking about this kind of thing too. What if there was some way to feed your condensed thoughts into such a model and it writes a paper/blog post/article?

Essentially, one should be able to use these models to "interpolate" the writing around the raw meaning/content. Typing assistance (think Grammarly) already allows you to refine finished writing to be more in line with what some language model expects, but imagine if it actually generated most of the text for you, based on small bites and chunks you throw at it.

I don't see why you say that, parser combinators are just a structured way to compose recursive descent parsers, you can do everything with them that you can with any other hand-rolled parser. You don't even need to construct an AST at all, a mathematical expression "parser combinator" could just return a single number, the result of evaluating the expression.

> The leader of the United States encouraging law enforcement and the military to shoot American citizens for looting

That's an extremely literal interpretation of his words. Most people would interpret that phrase to mean "you better think twice before looting because I'm not going to sit idly by and let you do it" but in the form of a vaguely threatening, yet catchy rhyme.
> Most people are self-interested and have short attention spans

Interesting way to judge those who don't hop on every new fad. Maybe they have a longer attention span and are filtering out the noise. They don't get caught in new gadgets and apps because they may be pursuing something larger scale in their life, like building stability for their family or studying deep for college or helping out the local community or training for athletic performance or whatever.

Its only in the start-up bubble that someone who is not an early adopter of Uber or Airbnb or Dropbox or whatever "huge" thing is seen as just selfish and ignorant.

Seen from a wider perspective, yeah these apps have significance but not that much in the daily lives of people. Yeah now I sometimes book my vacation through the airbnb app, instead of booking a hostel or hotel, but it doesn't radically change my vacationing habits. Sometimes I call an Uber instead of a taxi. Has upsides and downsides but it's not some new age of mankind.

Perspective, people.
The US president threatened to send the military into a state to shoot looters among a huge, out of control protest that started over a police officer murdering an innocent citizen. Who the fuck is taking this "too seriously" at whom we should "laugh"?

Sure. The oral polio vaccine was given away for free, undercutting and disrupting any attempts to region-limit its availability. To this day, it's hard to charge more than a dollar per dose, and nearly all countries have eradicated or are eradicating polio using this vaccine.

Might be hard to find examples that are business-friendly, though; the growth-hacking of a business usually means harm to its customers. The prior polio vaccine, manufactured using Salk's method, had had quality control problems leading to illness in hundreds of vaccinated people; maybe they shouldn't have rushed to market.

The team wanted to create a cool mobile game to show everyone with a smartphone the beauty of the mixed reality. However, it turned out that it's not that easy to create a game and also to launch it even with all skills and resources of a service IT company. Anastasia Belomytseva, who led the AT game dev team, tells about the main challenges of creating the first commercially available mixed reality simulation on a mobile platform or as we call it BlackSnow.

How Gore-Tex Works
It took quite awhile before they decided to arrest the reporter (Omar Jimenez). I suspect the decision came from higher up given the time delay (due to communication). I was watching this particular reporter late last night / early this morning and his coverage was, IMO, excellent to give some context and feel for the ongoing situation.

It was pretty surreal to watch, for me, and notice absolutely no actions from law enforcement, fire departments, or the national guard on site obviously strategically chosen by some upper leadership (governor?), likely to minimize the situation from escalating. The reporter pointed this out multiple times. It was probably the right call IMHO.

I suspect when law enforcement finally did move in afterwards, it was also strategic to minimize that escalating the situation. I wouldn't be surprised if the arrest was strategic just to minimize on-the ground coverage.

I tip my hat to Omar Jimenez and crew for the coverage they provided.

The severity of the looting relates to how justified the use of violence against it is. It obviously does not relate to how justified the glorification of that violence is.
I think the level of impunity of "I am the law" instead of laws being laws, has taken over far too many in the police department. The level of police misconduct that's been captured in camera in the last few days is disturbing. There's always one police officer that rushes into a peaceful situation, from behind, and starts violence. This sort of assault on humans is taken to be their responsibility, apparently, and all the rest of the police stand idly by as one of those in their uniforms commits acts of violence against peaceful people.

I would not be shocked if a majority of the property crime was also police instigated. If they are willing to do this to people, it's far easier to knock out some windows.
> OpenAI has no duty. ...

Of course they do! It's the same duty as every scientist has in advancing the public understanding of science. You seem to be replying to OP as if they said that only big AI research groups this duty, but this is just not so. Furthermore, when a prominent group of scientists conduct themselves poorly, it is not enough to say that they have no special extra duty due to being famous, they already must communicate properly because they are scientists and part of the scientific community.

I think one reason these conversations get so muddled is because it's all new and really pretty cool, so it becomes hard to tell what's skepticism and what's naysaying.

> Such mindsets are quite effective in causing teams to slow down and second-guess themselves.

Absolutely not, this goes directly against the scientific method. Such "mindsets" of trying to make sure that your results are correct and accurately presented without embellishment are a cornerstone of science. Of course it causes them to slow down! They have more work to do! Second-guessing themselves and their experiments is the whole fucking point.

This doesn't make it not reasonably secure in my mind. While the TG people will be able to access your messages, they can also process them, making stuff like large groups even possible (imagine the distribution hell otherwise).

I do tend to think that there's not much of a down side to E2E for private chats though, since you can still share private keys between devices to enable sync.

Apologies if this is pedantic, but the orchestration of jobs transcends ETL workflows. There's countless usecases of scheduling dependent jobs that aren't ETL workloads.
Airflow is great, right up to the point where you try to feed date/time-based arguments to your operators (a crucial bit of functionality not covered in the linked article). The built-in API for that is a random assortment of odd macros and poorly designed python snippets, with scoping that never quite makes sense, and patchy and sometimes misleading documentation.

Not fact checking is only picking a side once you have decided to fact check. Before all of this twitter could claim to be a medium of communication. There isn't implicit trust that something is true because it is written on paper, posted on a billboard, or appears on TV. By choosing to mark tweets as true or false, they are no longer just a medium of communication. We can now imply that if twitter does not mark a tweet as false, they are endorsing that tweet as true.
AVX/AVX2 also cause downclocking, to various degrees depending on which instructions you use, and which CPU. Some older CPUs will downclock the entire CPU if even 1 core is doing AVX instructions, newer ones downclock just the core.

In general, when AVX-512 is used in any sensible way, the performance gain from it is rather large. It isn't just twice as wide as 256bit AVX, it also is much more flexible, allowing more efficient vectorization of many algorithms. You often get more than a 2x speedup, despite the increased downclocking.

And AVX-512 is present on the newest intel cpus.

Hopefully AMD will introduce it with the next generation, since their downclocking method is superior in some ways. (you could use AVX-512 with less care to be sure you are doing enough AVX-512 work at a time, but benchmarking is harder since clock speeds vary in real time depending on heat and other factors)
