Thanks to paroneayea and team for doing this! It's so important that we move this technology forward. I'm looking forward to digging in and maybe getting involved.
But they do. The social credit system in China is the perfect example. Makes it harder to operate in "real" space if you, for instance, have a "bad attitude". This is different than people just "not liking you", for the same reason. In that case, you still have total agency to start being a nicer person.

If you think that this sort of system could never be applied to you then you're sorely mistaken.

I never considered that a consensual request prompt could be considered 'more creepy' than non-consensual spying. What about that interaction upsets you? Simply knowing that someone wanted to do it?
I go back and forth between deactivating my again and getting back on FB. I've realised the only reason I'm on FB these days is because of some hobby groups that I'm a part of and those are only on FB. I don't connect with any of my friends on FB and have blocked updates from most acquaintances.

To maybe add some more particulars to this, in most Western countries governmental authority is legitimized via public opinion. We all have heard that "a well educated citizenry is critical to democracy" but one ought to also consider that one's education will impact one's opinions. So state funded education could theoretically manipulate mass opinion in favor of government backed positions over time (maybe by framing historical events in a particular way for example).

Manipulating public opinion may seem petty or roundabout for a government but having legitimized policy creates a lot of stability for decision makers so it seems worthwhile. The gambit even pays off when the majority of the public isn't persuaded by education too, since the people who agree with you are by definition the "well educated" you can give their opinion more weight without seeming like a tyrant.

That's the idea being alluded to by the parent here at least I think.
But bots and spam and russian memes are already deeply engaging to people. I'm sure it will only get worse, though obviously some people will opt out.
We could really need the Milwaukee to Chicago train up to speed. I'm in Milwaukee and would go to a Chicago office twice a week on that train and it just got tough with 1:30 each way. The train is packed too, where on the way back in the evening, people can be standing because not enough seats. Higher speed, like cutting it down to :45 or :50, would mean a ton. The problem is the value of that isn't able to be calculated and in pretty much all infrastructure cases, it gets purely political.

I would like to know how many "right winger" did actively and honestly engaged with feminists texts. Not even with radical feminists texts, just with a mild moderate variety or with those who were radical back then and not anymore. Cause it seems to me that very little. Not that they have to, but they dont go that far in range as they pretend. They do read range where range is within what they like or where range is completely irrelevant to our lives.

It is also currently right wing that seeks to suppress actual fields of study on Universities.

It is also my experience is that many (not all) right people simply "know" the text is stupid without ever reading it. They also "know" that if movie pleases feminist crowd it is bad without seeing that movie.

And working in more conservative environment, I was careful not to say things that could be constructed as near-feminist, because that would lower my "trustworthiness" in other arenas too.
Well to start off I’m not advising buying two 3080s. I haven’t seen the benchmarks, and on top of that the 3080 doesn’t support SLI so if you do buy two of them you will need to be using software which can utilize two independent GPUs.

If you’re just wanting to learn machine learning you don’t need anything particularly special. I think you would be happy with GTX 1070. There is also the cloud computing route where you basically rent the gpu from AWS. That will be initially more cost effective than buying your own hardware.

One thing to keep in mind if you do go with the 3080 is the power consumption. Ampere cards are going to be much more power hungry than previous generations, and you will need to budget about 320W just to the graphics card. The recommended power supply for the 3080 is 850W.
That's because of the improved memory bandwidth. See https://timdettmers.com/2020/09/07/which-gpu-for-deep-learni...

Ginsburg and Scalia, even if they did take a genuine interest in one another's friendship, had external considerations two average, everyday people wouldn't have. The image of the court, and its ability of folks with different world-views to come together and still respect each other when disagreeing-- it helps present an image of an impartial court. The functioning of SCOTUS depends on the legitimacy of its image. Many of our institutions function this way, but it is acutely important to the court.
Honestly I think it's the biggest misfeature of JSON. Arbitrary precision numbers should have been handled differently & I've repeatedly seen JSON parsers incorrectly handle those. We're now in a situation where you can't serialize numbers you encounter daily into JSON and you can't trust that numbers you correctly serialized into JSON will be properly deserialized by the peer.

I spent a lot of time writing the number handling code in PBNJSON for WebOS back in the day (IIRC there were 0 C/C++ parsers that offered correct number parsing at the time). It also makes sure to properly report overflow/underflow/failure to convert whenever you encounter situations that aren't possible (e.g. reading 32-bit number of a 64-bit int JSON, reading 64-bit integer for doubles that are out of range, etc). I'm sure I missed some corner cases though as it's insanely difficult to get every single corner case (especially with floating point).

I definitely know that nobody on my Facebook would ever SWAT me. I just don't like to trigger people. People carry a lot of hidden emotional baggage with them these days with trip wires in various topics of discussion. Something about Facebook/Twitter makes it easier to step on those. Or, maybe it's me; maybe something about FB/Twitter makes me post outlandish things without realizing it. I'm with you on this - it's not worth trying to "solve" it when I can just not post on Facebook.

I think it's kind of like the difference between e-sports and real sports. Real sports and e-sports share their competitive nature, but real sports have the endorphins that balance that out with positivity. Online discussion can be antagonistic just like real discussion, but real discussion often has non-verbal cues, food, relaxing atmosphere, small talk, jokes, etc. that balance that out.
The bar for people getting upset is much lower than Nazis and Klansmen. Two examples I've seen are a blog title "Postgresql for idiots", and someone said it was offensive because Hitler used to exterminate people classified as idiots, and someone saying that describing software as "sexy" is sexist and contributes to women not wanting to work in tech jobs. I think you're painting a rosy picture where people are only upset at actual hate groups, and not using whatever benign words the "allies" have decided are unacceptable.

Oh wow, this is so juvenile.

The problem with these ML models is that they are directly connected to a response, and because they use statistics and math they are simplistically perceived as truth.
They're not truth, they're are nothing more than models. The truth can fit a plethora of models. Ignoring human bias while training ML models, and then just saying that the model is truth is exactly the problem.

Thank you for demonstrating the issue so vividly.
They can display links depending on response from servers, a pretty basic functionality required for many apps. So "hacking" the appstore is as simple as updating their backend with a "purchase here, 25% cheaper" link to their own webbpage.
Specialties are fractal. It’s much easier to be the expert on something that 1,000 people do than something 1,000,000 people do. However, by making expert knowledge accessible it’s likely that far more people discover they really should be doing whatever it is you’re an expert at.

I make the safe guess that the University didn't spend money on signs and and allocate public space without there being a demand for it. It sure didn't look like an art installation.

how many people do you personally observe at the "safe space" - or do you even go there?

If by "go," you mean "attend," no I am not a student. If by "go," you mean "visit," I did quite frequently when I lived in Houston.

There's no mailing list... right now just the fediverse and twitter accounts, irc, and the gitlab branches. I would be open to having a mailing list except that I'm aware the kind of maintenance burden involved in keeping them alive, and I have too much work to do on the core. Recommendations?

I see 12:41 pm -> 3:20 pm from Lancaster to Penn Station, which is 2:39, and Apple Maps is giving me 2:40 for the same drive, so nearly exactly the same. Of course, this is under Covid, when Amtrak is reducing service and there's far less traffic into NYC than usual.

There are lots of places in the US where the train is a huge time sink, it's just that in my experience, getting into NYC is one of the few where it's much faster and more convenient.

Ever since I first heard it as a teenager, Steve Reich’s “Music for 18 Musicians” has been my go to focus music. Almost 20 years later I still put it on if I really am having a hard time getting into a zone of concentration.

It’s also a beautiful piece of music to just lay back and listen to, doing nothing else but meditating on the music. Highly recommended.

No it's still accurate. The idea of classical economics here is that when the money supply in circulation increases and the total goods for sale stay the same, prices increase as well. What we're seeing is that because the USD is the world's exchange currency, it is a good way for foreigners to store wealth. So all these dollars end up locked away overseas which means that the money supply in circulation doesn't expand.

Of course, the US can only play this game so long before we devalue our currency enough that it's worth it for the world to switch to another currency. And when that happens, the USD will no longer be a good store of value, which means all those dollars will come flooding back. And we'll experience decades of inflation in a very short period of time, with disastrous consequences.
> A lot of money, but I also put a lot of time into it! I estimate that I spent about 2.5 years of full-time equivalent work researching and writing the book, spread out over the course of 4 years. Of that time, I spent one year (2014–15) working full-time on the book without income, while the rest of the time I worked on the book part-time alongside part-time employment.

Is it too creepy to wonder how the author sustain himself during the "full-time without income" part ? (Did he start saving earlier on to get a big safety cushion, did he get an advance, etc ?)
Or maybe it is still there, growing like a cancer while we plow on with the blinders. 12 years is not really a long time in terms of monetary policy.
We'll probably not see any resignations of politicians this shortly before an election, but there will likely be some people "missing" and being ignored for high-ranking ministerial and other positions. The people involved will just fade from the public eye and prepare to move to jobs in the private sector, while their respective political parties do damage control.

That is if they can drag this out for the remaining year.

I'm less sure of that than I was yesterday. It's moving a bit too fast...
>Inflation has been been normal

Inflation's been normal? Maybe we don't share the same reality. Let's continue with the USA, which previous commenters have be referencing.

The median price of a US home has gone up 45% [1] since 2008 when The Fed started "printing money hand over fist". Did the quality of all homes suddenly go up by 45% in lockstep? I would doubt that. It could be that all people started to be more productive simultaneously, and despite an aversion to paying a premium on housing, the price increase is merely a symptom of a supply-restricted market -- and yet Median incomes (household, individual) only increased (26%[2],28%[3]).

The US is experiencing at least 13% and practically 45% asset-price inflation over the period you referenced. I would hardly say that's "normal". It's the sign of a dying currency -- one that cannot maintain its long term purchasing power. [4]

>Classical economics no longer correctly models reality.

Economics is not physics -- it's an intangible process of action, human action. One cannot make an economic model of the utility I get from the sloth of laying in a field on a warm day, even if it means I'll be less robust against a winter storm. "Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas" and TNSTAAFL still hold despite what the central planners decree.

It increases noise and really makes it seem like you’re trying to bury the discussion and use your account for ideological purposes, which is against the rules. I’m sure you didn’t do this on purpose but your actions are hard to distinguish from a bad actor so please try to not do that, thanks.

The bigger problem is left-leaning people getting harassed and immediately flagged as right/alt-right/-ist (i.e., "not one of us") when merely disagreeing with or challenging dogma. See Joe Rogan, JK Rowling, Sam Harris, Bret Weinstein, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker for some high profile examples.

Don't toe the line and echo approved orthodoxy? You're the enemy! This is extreme tribal behavior.

As a result, there is a chilling effect and a lot liberals no longer feel welcome on the left[1][2]. Certainly don't feel welcome to speak or think openly. This is incredibly regressive, damaging to liberalism and enlightenment values. Seriously, not being able to challenge your own side and engage in dialectic will send us back to the dark ages.

I've driven a car with lane keep that worked like this:

1. If the lane keep is on and there is no torque warn the driver. If the driver doesn't respond, get really aggressive, pulse the brakes and eventually stop in the middle of the road.

2. If lane keep turns off for any reason (for example, momentarily too light lines) all driver monitoring immediately ceases.

> I've mentioned it before, but JSON Numbers are arbitrary-precision floating-point. They can't be naively stored as JavaScript numbers in all cases, since JS numbers are IEEE754 double-precision floating point.

Well, RFC 8259 says "This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted." and goes on to explain interoperability with IEEE doubles.
How would you differentiate here between liberal democracy, illiberal democracy, straight-up undemocratic systems, and AI or similar NGOs simply liking the substantive outcomes of a particular government?

For instance, I am by no means a fan of the Republican Party, but it's hard to believe that the United States of America was in 2005 a dictatorship or other authoritarian system: we lived through Bush peacefully transferring power to the Obama Administration, which was drawn from the opposite political party. It seems much more plausible that Amnesty simply didn't like how America was conducting the Iraq War, a substantive policy disagreement (and one I agree with Amnesty on).

Problem is, that sort of demolishes the case that anyone Amnesty criticizes must, ipso facto, be an undemocratic authoritarian regime -- which I don't even recall Amnesty themselves claiming.
I was giving this some thought (I know, you smelled something burning -Tell your friends. Three shows a week).

They are right, but the "social score" thing is nothing new. I think we just are winding up a pretty freewheeling time of self-expression that probably started with the Beats (not the BeatLES, although there was a fair bit of overlap).

If anyone is familiar with the way society operated in the Edwardian and Victorian times, you know that some folks would commit suicide, if their "social score" went south. The main difference, is then, it applied to the "upper crust," and these days, we all get to enjoy the mixtape.

That's one reason why I decided to delete all my anonymous accounts, and establish a "personal brand." It may not mean much to other folks, but I try to make sure that all of my exposed interactions stay "on-brand." It's an exercise that I learned from Marketing departments, and seems to work.

The worst that happens, is that a bunch of y'all think I'm a "stuffed shirt" (I'm not, but that's OK).

There's no need to doubt this. It's been well documented in books and newspapers for decades.
My impression of the Housing First movement is that they believe that housing more people is in itself a good thing and people without housing is a bad thing.

I would probably agree to some degree.

So you could say of course homelessness decreases if you give homes, but that's like saying of course feeding hungry people decreases if you give them food.

The question of effectiveness, at least from the housing first perspective, here is whether or not this can be done in a practical manner and whether this has bad side effects.

This does make it a little harder to rely on data from housing first advocates if you do not share their assumption.

That being said my impression is there is some data that suggests better outcomes in terms of decreased drug usage and better employment, although I think there are some people who dispute this.

So I think there's a settled consensus that giving people houses can be done in a practical way, the extent of the benefits outside of housing is less settled, although on-average positive.

I'm not an expert though.
