That seems at best a very narrow sense of "doxxing." If his name is for all practical purposes already public, and he just does not want readers of a specific newspaper to see his name mentioned, does that really count as "doxxing?"
UX's meaning (aside from sounding cool) is so unclear that people are writing articles since years, trying to explain it.

It is a useful, buzzword-y term to say: "I care about how users interact with this". Or: "The UX in this part needs improvement".

"UX Design" however is confusing especially when attached to a role. The output of a "UX Designer" is (at least eventually) a UI. So they are a UI Designer? Well no, it is all about the "experience"! My UX is pretty bad here because the software is buggy. Is the engineer who fixes the bug a UX Designer now?

You often see the term UX alongside UI, like this: UI/UX. This is because the designer wants to emphasize what they care about, but they secretly know that the thing they design is the actual UI, not the "experience".
I always hate these comparisons because they always compare market capitalization and not enterprise value. On the latter metric, which is independent of how a company is financed, Intel is still more valuable. Intel is still "worth more" than Nvidia.
They already do this in LA. Get sentenced to 120 days in jail but due to overcrowding you’d do 5-10 days in jail.

Soon local politicians will require you only to do 1% of jail time so you’ll be sentenced to a 100 years in jail for a misdemeanor. This already exists in the California bail system where you pay 1% of astronomically high bails (eg $60,000 bail for 1st time misdemeanor, like if they change a court date and fail to inform you).
It's this, exactly. The author is clearly reaching to paint fairly innocuous actions in the most damning light possible.
It's just the publicity stunt, leaving the NYT with the options to (a) drop the story, (b) omit a significant detail, or (c) report that he deleted the blog because they said they were going to doxx him. The story hasn't been published yet, so it's working so far.

Short-term, this has probably net increased the visibility of Alexander's content (slightly less convenient to access, but much more attention), and I assume he expected that. The reporter can't actually believe that Alexander is trying to hide something horrible that he wrote, so the sentence I quoted can only be knowingly dishonest innuendo. That's why I said "ugly".
Another of the million huge enhancements that could be built natively into browsers if browsers weren’t intentionally stuck in the 90s by advertising/tracking companies.

I wonder when we’ll see a real browser alternative that includes no-brainer features like bundling the most common libraries in local forever-cache by SRI hash.
So glad to read that the core objects are immutable. This is probably my biggest gripe of other date/time manipulation libraries, eg moment.js.

Seems like all they did was say the feds get to punish native americans rather than state officials. Where's the sovereignty?

Nearly all US presidents, including George Washington, led genocidal campaigns that burned down entire towns or otherwise committed crimes against humanity in the name of expanding the colonial lands of settlers.
Well, my first thought is still "Unix, obviously" :)

For fun I looked it up on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UX . User experience is not listed under Software but under Science/Computing, so a reader would still first find Unix :)

I'd like to see the JavaScript people, the Java people, the PHP people, the Perl people, the Python people, the C people, the C++ people, and the people for every other significant language that supports functions (either directly or as methods on objects) to get together and once and for all agree on how the heck we are supposed to deal with times and dates.

Then all of them should implement that in their standard library, so that going forward we've got one sane conceptual time handling system everywhere.

I tire of dealing with the quirks of everyone having their own approach.
I upvoted you.

You get lots of people on here who are systems engineers, or love solving complicated problems. But when it comes to wealth inequality, it's just a fundamental law of nature that cannot be changed. In reality, it can be solved with a pie chart.

They want a taste of the high life. Sucked in by the apprentice and high fructose.
"Predatory" refers to competing businesses, not customers. The fact that the industry is unprofitable is the main indication that the pricing is predatory.

It's unclear to me if this industry would exist at all if it were profitable. There's a minimum volume needed to make the industry viable, once you fall below some (quite high) density of people ordering food delivery, it doesn't work.
Why are they only setting the price on food delivery?
> didn't have jurisdiction over tribal land

Over native americans on tribal land. The state still has authority over everyone else. And the tribal police don't have authority over them. It's convoluted.

The country is generally not all at the slots at the same time, and if you do dumb things in Vegas that basically impacts you and the casino and any immediate creditors.

The entire country is in the stock market (401k and pensions, etc.) so gambling with valuations has real impact on things that aren't just you, and the blast radius of harm is so much larger. We already saw this happen in the Great Depression; bank runs, sudden, massive tightening of liquidity that screwed over creditors and suppliers in a cascading fashion, etc.

The real fundamental issue is that QE as the overwhelming response to 2007 mostly just massively inflated stocks and other rich people assets without meaningfully improving the financial prospects of middle and working class people, so now everyone is clamoring at the gates to be let in at the stock market. Look at how quickly BTC became a numbers game rather than the actual useful intrinsic value, with people who couldn't give two shits about the blockchain.
One of the exceptions is Virgil Texas, whose real name is about five entries down when you google him, and Banksy, whose real name is on his wikipedia page.
Surely a scan through the NYT is also not largely condemnations of individuals.
> most restaurants will not just accept takeout orders from a random person that shows up on a bike

Why not?
If delivery costs the same as an average Uber ride, say, $10, it makes every order under $100 unprofitable. An average food order is way below that, I think. So the math doesn't add up.
> He's published his full name multiple times (even on his own blog).

I'm almost certain this is untrue. Are you possibly mistaking his pseudonym "Scott Alexander" for this full name? If not, and you understand that Scott and Alexander are his first and middle names, could you please provide a link to an example of where he has published his last name on his blog (or at this point, on the relevant archive.org page)?

Edit: I'm guessing from your comments further down the page that you understand the pseudonym aspect, and have a different conception of "publish" than I do. Do you perhaps mean that he linked or referred to a scientific paper on which he was listed by full name as author? If so, and if true, the strongest I'd probably phrase this is "revealed" rather than "published". If not, and if I'm wrong, and he has directly published his last name on his blog in a manner intended to make it publicly known, I'd like to know so I stop making false claims in the future.

There is also the fact that there’s only a finite number of pages you can crawl a day. So Google has a built-in data/time advantage. They started from 1999 and have 2 decades of data already. Anyone starting now needs to first build up that huge index and that is almost impossible if you start now.

Not necessarily the case. There are lit fees of course, and filing fees, discovery, etc. But once you get to the SCOTUS stage, assuming you're not retaining Gibson Dunn or Covington or someone's supreme court practice, there are many clinics with some star power that will do the case for free. Many top law schools have Supreme Court clinic and we sought out cases that we could bring to SCOTUS. We would have died to help take this case to SCOTUS, for example, completely free.
And this is exactly what the court ruled - if Congress intended to withdraw from or change the agreement they’re well aware of how to make that happen. And they didn’t make it happen so they must not have intended to change anything.

I would assume (haven’t read the whole opinion yet) that nothing about this ruling now prohibits Congress from exercising their authority to take any further action.
At that point how is the "GPU" card not just a small motherboard/SoM? I mean, I guess having it run off of a host system still helps with density, but it's 80% of a full computer already at that point.

You've heard of the thin blue line, well this is the thin grey line.

There's no attempt to stop any downhill trend. If they wanted that, they'd write to inform and attempt to give all relevant facts. Instead, they curate what the public is allowed to be showed, happily trumping up juicy anonymous rumors one moment and then failing to report well-documented, relevant facts the next.

They're losing because that information is getting out anyhow and every time it does, they lose a little more of the public trust. Gell-Mann amnesia remains in full effect, but a lot more people are simply unplugging. Legacy media is facing something much worse for them than a "war"--they're facing utter irrelevance as people figure out that they're mostly using unlinked online sources anyhow and we can completely bypass the middlemen.

Constant outrage porn is terribly unhealthy for your heart, anyhow, and if you have any friends, you'll hear about anything big enough to be important anyhow and can look into the original sources (if any).

I don't bother with science reporting at all, for example. I hear about anything worth noticing on HN or similar channels and then I read the actual scientific paper should I care to, rather than some journalist's half-baked summary thereof.
Are you looking to be paid or just get some experience?

I found out that if you want to form a new team, it's way easier to join others with their ideas than to push your idea and convince others to work on your stuff. I see tons of posts on some game dev subreddits, and people that come with an idea seem to have a tougher time than the ones who are open to finding it with a team. Consider this.
I have no idea, but a policy what would make sense to me would be to respect existing private property, though layer a "right of first refusal" for the indigenous nation to buy it back if it comes up for sale.
So could a tribe welcome every single person who asks to become a tribesman? Does the government just accept whatever the tribe says? Would the government then be required to apply all the same rules and exclusions of law for such new members of the tribe?
Please could you elaborate on how this would work and improve things?
In my opinion the best reason people are interested in this situation is Scott Alexander is considered to be NOT someone who will unquestioningly ride an empty wave of reactionary outrage if it's pointed in an advantageous direction:

People are hoping rational thought can be used to change norms when something bad happens.

That's why this is interesting and different than a thousand other sad situations involving people who likely don't have the tools to solve it in that way.
Her priors are fine. This will most likely never happen again to her, or anyone else.
> because of the massive failure that congress is

This is a conclusion I'm coming to more and more. It's easy to blame Presidential overreach or Supreme Court overreach, but the Congress seems to be steadily abdicating responsibility while still managing to get very little of substance accomplished.

They are supposed to be the most powerful branch of government, but instead they have deadlocked themselves into uselessness. In some ways we're probably fortunate that the other two branches have picked up the slack, as much as we (myself included) like to complain about it.
uh, if you actually read the links you posted...from the second article one of the people visited by law enforcement said "In my opinion, gasify everyone" [google translate I must admit, but there were plenty of quotes like this that I think its safe to say this is the intended tone]

I don't see how there is any justifiable grounds to talk about killing people with gas in any context, particularly not in this context.

Whether that encompasses multiple tribes or not, doesn't change that.
> Please, oh lord! Just let dreaded Flash rest in peace.

This is the wrong reaction to have here.

There is so much beautiful legacy content that was created in Flash. It's a goldmine. Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, Newgrounds. These are mainstays of the millennial childhood and adolescence.

Think about all of the Flash games and interactive video experiences. You can't just record those for YouTube and preserve the fidelity. They're an incredibly valuable part of our history, and they absolutely deserve preservation.

Are you willing to throw out N64 and Super Nintendo video games forever? Because that's the perspective it seems you're taking.

This isn't about helping Flash as a platform hobble along. It's about keeping all of that great content alive.
A recent dissent by Justice Thomas is elucidating.

"Today’s decision must be recognized for what it is: an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. The Court could have made clear that the solution respondents seek must come from the Legislative Branch. Instead, the majority has decided to prolong [the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS)] initial overreach by providing a stopgap measure of its own. In doing so, it has given the green light for future political battles to be fought in this Court rather than where they rightfully belong—the political branches. Such timidity forsakes the Court’s duty to apply the law according to neutral principles, and the ripple effects of the majority’s error will be felt throughout our system of self-government."

.

This was his dissent on DACA. Agree or disagree with the program that allows undocumented immigrants to stay and go to school, I don't care. It's not legislative, it's not judicial, it was a program by DHS setup under the last administration. Now the court rules the current administration can't undo the program? It's bizzare.

Things like DACA _need_ to be written in stone to avoid forcing the supreme court to become the effective legislator instead of having congress pass a law that enacts it as an actual program.

that pre-print says median of 0.04% infection fatality rate for people < 70, based on other pre-prints they analyzed. That is a 1 in 2500 probability of dying if you are infected.

I'm curious as to how these tests compare to the US SAT. You can take the SAT multiple times and submit your best attempt.
In this story, the test seems one and done. You get 1 attempt and you either get in, or you don't.

I think we're far from having used all the media on the internet to train a model. GPT-3 used about 570GB of text (about 50M articles). ImageNet is just 1.5M photos. It's still expensive to ingest the whole YouTube, Google Search and Google Photos in a single model.

And the nice thing about these large models is that you can reuse them with little fine-tuning for all sorts of other tasks. So the industry and any hacker can benefit from these uber-models without having to retrain from scratch. Of course, if they even fit the hardware available, otherwise they have to make due with a slightly lower performance.
It shouldn't. It's so weird that the outrage just ... glosses over that.

> no change is necessary.

This could mean a lot of things. Do you mean no change to the law is necessary? SCOTUS is upholding that principle. It is saying that the law as written stands.

The Judiciary is not overreaching here. They are doing exactly what their job says - they're interpreting existing laws, not writing new laws.

I understand your point, but I fear you may misunderstand, because I believe the Decision is in line with your views.

The justices' point is that congress, in its inaction, has not enabled the reduction in Creek reservations that has been perpetrated through large-scale disenfranchisement all all levels of governance, actions which are in direct conflict with the reservation treaty signed in perpetuity.

For these actions to be legal, Congress must have authorized them. This has not happened and therefore, as the justices rule, these actions are unconstitutional.

We need to end the reservation system. No good will come of this system in the long term. We can end it either by making the reservations explicitly new nations (either fully independent or with protectorate status, like Micronesia or Palau), or they need to be integrated fully into the United States.

In the long run, separate countries in one system does not really work (and yes, the states and feds are overlapping jurisdictions), but Indians have a much more special status under the law. Race based preferences never end well, even if they seem nice to begin with.

Why? Because it is scary that you can actually have governments make laws that Americans may become subject to when those governments have very few duties under American law to respect American rights. Of course, we do not expect other countries to follow American law, but reservations are not set up as other countries. Moreover, the law is strange in that a tribal member in a part of Oklahoma is now due special criminal treatment due to their ancestry, rather than be subject to the laws of Oklahoma.

That is not okay. Either a border needs to be set up, or the tribal governments need to be cast aside or at least become subject to the same kinds of restrictions the states are. Yes, this will require a constitutional amendment, but frankly, special treatment of Native Americans is a relic of a bygone era, much like slavery.
I'd rather not. In the NorCal (Jefferson) reservations, the natives setup huge nets to catch fish, load them into refrigerated trucks, and sell the catch to San Francisco restaurants. It's devastating to the ecosystem. As with building casinos, or the Grand Canyon Skywalk, they tend to commercialize/exploit as much as they can when they are free from state laws.

The issue at hand was state government prosecutorial jurisdication, not federal. From the article:

Under U.S. law, tribe members who commit crimes on tribal land cannot be prosecuted in state courts and instead are subject to federal prosecution, which sometimes can be beneficial to defendants.
