Another way to view it is that being “informed” isn’t some singular state you can achieve. People who read every article churned out by a news site daily are no more “informed” than people who just read the laws as they are voted on by the government.

The latter will not seem “informed” because they won’t know about some controversial statement that set the Internet on fire, but they will certainly be more informed about the consequential actions being taken by the government.

TLDR - being “informed” has no relationship to following what currently classifies a news - at least from an “informed citizen” perspective.
I am totally interested! But how will you report back?
Well it was renamed to bumbag.

I love the naming though, as I kinda get it having my own -real life- bumbag (a Thule bag full of my shit), that's always by me on my travels and whatnot.
If you have some sort of chip that can do B comparisons in parallel, you can search in log(N)/log(B) time.
It's pretty clear the time is fast approaching for big tech to be dealt with and ideally broken up. Once this Coronavirus situation is under control I hope the EU starts this ball rolling.

Not really.

On a GPU for example, if you have an array with 100.000 elements and want to find the index of one value, you are probably best of by using 100.000 threads to find that value.

So that's 100.000-ary search.

On a CPU, using an Eytzinger layout will probably also give you better performance than any of the N-ary approaches.

>> he regime in China represents evil on a scale that is probably unprecedented in Earth's history

Yeah, Nazi is now the cute one in the room, given China is here, right? At least the Nazis are white.

I don't know, maybe killing Native Americans for their land, enslaving the black, and selling opium to weaken a whole nation for their silver are all less evil than what the Chinese are now doing. But who knows, people have forgotten those deeds haven't they?
The problem is that your 'solution' is worse than the problem. It'll begin with a bloody war, which will create plenty of grievance against the invading forces, followed by an occupation which will be all able what is good for the invading forces, usually at the expense of the locals.
The 'good' way it ends is the invaders draw down and leave in defeat, nothing good having been accomplished.
The bad way it ends is the invaders deciding they want to get something for all the money they spent, and them going into full colonisation mode.
Trump is just one man, not the government.

The Justice System as a whole will take such an attack 'personally' and everyone in the system will be 'on the move'.

Imagine a corporation of people just 'doing their jobs' and punching out.

Now imagine said corporation where everyone is personally, emotionally committed towards 'getting that special project done' and everyone is 'all hands on' and they 'really mean it'.

There won't be internal fighting over who gets what, anyone who needs help from anyone else is going to get i because 'we're gonna get that guy'.

To boot, they didn't kill the judge, they killed their kid. This just makes it a lot worse. Every cop, judge, detective, FBI agent is thinking about their families tonight.
Thank you. This seems to be the sort of meticulousness I was looking for.

I remember the large size of derivative related to the normal economy from this visualization. If we ever get a derivative bubble in the future, we will probably need to rebuild the economy from the ground up. Why? Because the derivative market is so large in comparison to the normal economy.

It's going wrong from both sides of the fence there.

The rhetoric is very strong, too. Words such as "Gestapo", "Fascism" and "Stormtroopers" really do not help the discussion, nor does sitting back and cherry-painting over the local leadership allowing criminal acts to occur under the guises of "protests" and "free speech".

Having tried many machines and manual ways of making coffee, is there a real difference between says a Nespresso, Mokka, or a top-of-the-line Jura? I mean, given the same beans etc, is a Jura noticeably better tasting?
Moka pots only need a deep clean once a week to once every two weeks and even then it's mostly wiping off the oil from the beans without any soap. Otherwise you just rinse with hot water.

yep, from personal experience :), a 3cm long black fly makes about a 3mm long cut, and it seems it injects something like anticoagulant into the cut, and it can bite even through clothes like jeans where the cloth touches skin, and yes, they come in droves.

Wrt. separatism - not in next 50-100 years for any locally grown separatism. Too small number of people on that gigantic territory of too diverse ethnic makeup. With climate change the population will grow and some places becoming nice will get higher population of higher density with some shared identity. That wouldn't be Russians - Russian demographics is falling. No other ethnicity there also have numbers and demographic trend to accomplish it in the observable future. So, most probably it will be Chinese immigrants in the Far East. There are already a lot of them there, and the numbers are growing fast - again nobody else is able to populate and develop those territories with needed intensity, so Russia lets, as there is not much choice really, them come to fill the vacuum so to say. China also considers some of those territories historically theirs. That means that China wouldn't let anybody else to bite that piece. In some decades there will be a period of time when Russia gets into deep crisis (like say change of President because of Putin dying in 2050? :) and that's when the even more powerful China will make the move. A Far East version of Crimea. In a modern Russian fantasy novel (by Pelevin?) about near future the Chinese hieroglyphs naming Russia are directly translated as "temporary administration of the northern gas pipelines" :)

In one of those situations your hard work has a significant influence on the outcome and in the other it has no effect at all.
Probably the opposite. There will be so much oversight now, and 'all eyes will be on'. I don't think the system is likely to cower like that in the face of such a big, literally international issue.

I don't get how it can be a good long term store of value with that level of volatility?
This is objectively false as they have developed many of the most successful products on this planet. There are hundred of web mail products but gmail is the best. Google Maps is the best in class, other great products are Google Earth, Analytics, YouTube, Cloud, Android and many more.

Yes, you can find flaws in any of those but it's also hard to find better products in the same category. Google is not in any way "terrible at building products", they are one of the best companies in the whole world in building products.
Interesting project!

However, an online demo will be nice to have.
I think you sre confusing "PII" and "data." The transaction does not identify you (generally), the ID on file for the account identifies you.
I agree that the view layer has not been Rail's strength. It's largely handlebars era inspired and has never really changed.

In some ways I think rails never really needed to change because the view layer worked without issues. I always felt the solutions in the modern html/javascript world were messy and half baked, with many unforeseen tradeoffs and complexity for the benefits you get (this summarizes my experience with the whole SPA era).

We are only now starting to have best practices and reasonable design around how the html/js view layer should be done. But I think many people in Rails will continue to prefer the old way of views just because of the simplicity of it.

You'd be surprised how such a small library like turbolinks has held off the entire wave of webpack / react / SPA.
I don't understand where minio suddenly comes from?

Minio is barely documented. I had to ask in Slack to interpret what it meant when minio said "your cluster is 5 red and 7 yellow" as the colours aren't event documented.

Every minio cluster I hosted had dataloss. Each one has lead to a reported issue on their GitHub that hasn't been closed to date. Nothing about recovery is documented. Documentation is slim in general. Really confused why you're naming it next to ZFS which is sublimely documented and withstood the test of time.

I'd advise something battletested through time like Ceph for object storage instead.
Sure. "All the time" across Youtube's userbase of people who can make enough social media noise that we hear about it (so probably an order of magnitude more often than all the cases we hear about, but still very rarely for any one individual business or person.

If a client or project's content is mainly intended to be viewed and/or discoverable via the project website, I'm happy enough to have a plan along the lines of "We'll publish/host the video on Youtube (under an account that's exclusively for it and definitely not in any way linkable to any important Adworfds, gSuite, or Android dev accounts), and if the shit hits that fan there and they shut it down, we'll make sure we can reupload the videos to Vimeo or DACast or S3/Cloudfront or wherever, and just flip the video.example.com CNAME to match."

If you're relying on Youtube/Vimeo/Instagram/whatever for _discovery_, then you've got a totally different problem. (And, as far as I can tell, one without any good mitigation strategy. If you build all your brandvalue in a youTube channel, you're totally at the mercy of shitty cotent monitoring algorithms, automated copyright or DMCA takedowns, and 4Chan brigade attacks...)
> What compelling reason do we have to believe this is true, when this is not how animal or human brains work?

The problem of GPT having zero idea about far-past text isn't some spooky emergent problem: It literally has zero access to the far-enough past.

GPT is completely memoryless: it has access to the past 1024 symbols. It predicts the next symbol given the last 1024-- and that's it. When it goes to predict the next symbol, it has literally zero access to what came before except for the effect it had on the text still in the window.

(symbols are usually words, but can also be letters, due to the compressed input).

The result is that when text ends up too far back it will totally "forget it".

If you scale it up to more symbols that effect will go away.

Maybe some other issues arise at some scale, but it seems unlikely that they'd be all that similar to that totally-forgetting effect.

I'm not arguing that just scaling it up the best approach-- but just that faulting its forgetting effect is not the most compelling criticism because that one almost certainly can be addressed by scaling.

An architecture that could give it memory would be interesting-- people have shown impressive results by making it "show its work" effectively making the conversation into external memory-- but it's less obvious how to train it to use memory.

You're going to have to copy and paste these anyway (no chance in hell of remembering them) so don't see what they get you over an UUID.
Well, except that 1 kb is still consistent with "no log", as if they're businesses, they need to keep track of which user names/pseudonyms have paid.

A 1 kb leak isn't okay, but at least it's potentially consistent with their promises to their users.
Local stores still can compete with speed and shopping experience. Ie the future of stores is hybrid local/e-commerce.

I hope that there will be both types of stores in the future for the city center to flourish. Imagine going as a tourist to a city which only had e-commerce and not stores that would probably not be as fun experience as a live city with local shopping.

They didn't. The difference between today and a hundred years ago isn't actually in what people did. It's how many people did a certain thing. Back in the day people didn't invest because they were farmers. Nowadays a lot more people live in cities and have a high enough income to invest it and this requires financial services to scale to millions of customers.

Apart from the 2008 boom/crash, owning a house has been a great way for the middle class to become asset millionaires. I knew someone in London who was routinely out-earned by the asset appreciation on their own house.

Besides, inflation has rather moved the bar for "millionaire" to every middle class couple with a house and two retirement funds..

> *"and means that classical physics cannot account for diamagnetism"

[assuming classical statistical physics assumptions, such as nothing special happens at the boundary]. The whole result is due to unrealistic boundary condition (for magnetic materials) that the Boltzmann isotropic distribution of momenta is valid at the boundary. Diamagnetism is present in classical physics, for example, electron(s) circling in magnetic field create magnetic moment opposed to the magnetic field.

Intuition and spontaneous insight are the highest forms of logic and reason. Reason so pure, they've been sublimated into the unconscious.
If the author is concerned about bandwidth costs, it sounds counterproductive to encode the videos as 60fps where 30 is plenty for everything but high speed action shots. Given that it sounds like he is doing demo videos / screencasts etc, it there is a lot to gain here in just getting the encoding settings right.
> The results have not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, nor has the full data been made available; so the BBC cannot confirm the claims made for the treatment.

How are these claims any different than the few other ones heard over the last few weeks? They always sound incredibly promising..... and then nothing!

Is this different?

I don't remember drinking a comparable coffee from a fully automatic machine. Also keep in mind that the top of line Jura has two boilers, which make it twice as expensive, but not necessarily better. I suppose that they're generally targeted to shops; I've seen it only once or twice in a consumer context.

There is a potentially significant difference between a Nespresso and an automatic machine, which is qualitative and adhoc grinding. Producing "nespressos" is fully vertically integrated. They have control over the coffee beans, the grinding process (which can potentially be high quality), and the machine. I doubt that a fully automatic sports a high-quality grinder (I guess that most, if not all, don't have an acceptable quality one).

Regarding moka, there's no comparison. It makes a watery coffee. It's very popular because it's the cheap and easy way to make an "espresso".
So you want a dull sword with handles on both ends just so that nobody can possibly cut themselves? Professional tools are meant to be efficient for those trained in using them and if that means they are slightly harder to learn that's OK.
I think this sort of debate is really boring. You can rage that the computer doesn't have Human-Nature while it's busy owning you at chess, go, creating art that people want to see more than yours, answering important questions, etc...

Clearly it doesn't think in the same way that you or I, but does that matter?

As far as I know you, yourself, are just a meat-simulcrum and not a real human... just a pile of tissue that responds to stimulus and pretends (convincingly) to think. But do you really _understand_ like I do?

I grant you the benefit of doubt because your construction is similar to mine, and I think I think. But nothing about that is fundamental, surely you believe an alien with a brain that worked very differently to yours could also think?

But at the end of the day it mostly matters what it can do and doesn't do, not if you're willing to credit it with understanding.

How much you're making right now is not relevant for anything other than your personal bank account, the same way that winning a single hand at the poker table is not relevant for anything except your daily winnings.

What is relevant for the rest of us in this context (since we have no stake in your current bank balance) is this: Will you beat the average professional, or better yet an index fund, over a period of 20 years?

In fact, your personal success over 20 years is just as irrelevant, unless a statistically significant amount of people doing the same thing, as a well defined and replicable strategy, achieves similar success.

"I did this thing and made more money than X" is just noise and not indicative of anything.

P.S. Keeping up with, or even beating, the average professional, is easy: just invest in an index fund. So it's a very low bar to achieve.
Their site has recently switched over to running on a cluster of 24 of their own RockPro64 single board computers. As of their June update (https://www.pine64.org/2020/06/15/june-update-postmarketos-c...) the site, forum, IRC channel and Matrix servers were running on just 8 nodes of the cluster. Given the notorious Hacker News hug-of-death, I think they're doing pretty well!
Tipping sustenance wage earners (bartenders, wait staff in restaurants, et c) in anything but cash in the US is also quite a dick move.

Sure, cards are convenient, but you are in effect tipping 15% less for your own convenience.

Additionally, most of the big food delivery apps have a history of skimming or outright stealing in-app tips, so it’s best to always tip delivery drivers in cash, too.

Always tip in cash. It’s the only way to make sure they get all of it, without a portion being skimmed off to pay for bombs to mass murder Afghan kids.

(italian here) completely agree. It's not very easy to find a coffee shop where the espresso doesn't taste burnt. I have the feeling the baristas have good technique, but the machines don't get cleaned / serviced enough.

Generally, there' a tradeoff between quality vs size (mostly through energy: processing and sending more data needs more energy, which needs a bigger power source).

Often separating the coins isn’t necessary either. Because the value of a coin was historically the value of the metal it contained, many modern coin sizes still have a volume proportional to their value. US dimes, quarters, half dollars, and the old Eisenhower dollar coins are all $20/lb, for instance.
