You appear to be comparing the 2 kinds of liberty Isiah Berlin outlined[1], that of negative and positive liberty. English (and hence) American conceptions of liberty historically tend strongly to negative liberty, European countries like Germany emphasise positive liberty more - though as you point out there's a mix everywhere and to differing degrees.

One of my favourite interviews is with Berlin[2] where he talks about why positive liberty is so dangerous.

Heh. When I was 12, I had a Romanian Z80 based computer, that would run BASIC. Because I didn’t have a tape drive for it, I was writing entire programs and then write them down on paper, and “reload” them after the computer would reset, or if I were lucky, just the next day.

At one point I figured out the opcodes for Z80 were at the end of the somewhat thin manual, and that I can read/write straight into memory. That was so much fun.
This was a lifetime ago, I hope what I remember is correct.

Later on, I got a second hand 8086 based PC, which came with a full setup: central unit, display (monochrome), keyboard and mouse, and 5.25” floppy disk drive. Oh, right, and it had a big, loud, slow 20MiB HDD. It came with some early DOS and GEM desktop environment.

On this machine I encountered the first computer virus, named Romania.856. By that time I had access to BBS through some friends, and I got to download various docs about assembler and so on. I had and loved F-Prot antivirus for its database of virus descriptions.

So I set myself to reverse engineer this virus (I had no idea it’s called reverse engineering), by using the old debug.com (or was it exe?) that came with DOS. I wish I still had my notes from back then. At some point I got Turbo Debugger too, that made things so much easier.

I was merely 14 years old, and spent a whole summer doing things like that, while other kids were doing whatever other kids normally do. I learned everything about that virus, and later about others.
I feel the situation with mobile app pricing is similar to what Tim describes for news publishers. Most apps seem to be free to download and use with limited functionality and then use scammy advertising tactics to get you to buy a subscription to unlock the full content.
Misleading headline. It's not French fathers. It's fathers in France.
My levels were more than sufficient, definitely in the high range, but I don't know them off the top of my head.
Not necessarily, the term "discrete logarithm" also alludes to calculating them in other contexts such as modulo p for p prime. It's not always on elliptic curves, and when I started in this field it was never on ECs.

But your comment is largely true, this is a minor point ... I make it only for completeness, and for people who later find this comment.
Both of those issues are besides the point I make.

Your article is also treating Tiktok and Douyin as if they're the same thing. They aren't, they are separate networks and datasets.
For the record, "Wuhan Pneumonia" and "Wuhan Virus" were widely used by official news coverage in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and guess what, Mainland China, before the WHO suddenly dictated all people must use "Covid-19" or else you're racist or propagandist.

This trick is very effective in erasing the obvious link between the virus and its origin.

> Going by “national security” reasons most countries should ban Facebook and google, not to mention amazon, Microsoft, oracle, Cisco etc. since the us government has already shown willingness and ability to spy on anything they can get their hands on, including foreign heads of state. Allowing US controlled social media and other tech companies is a huge risk.

Yes.

As a European, I believe in Europe (and in the rest of the world) we should definitively ban most US tech be it for ethical reasons or national security. Same for China.

EU Politicians don't seem to understand the situation yet, but given the current technological cold war happening, I hope we'll wake up soon and switch either to open tech or at least to our own local tech.
> It’s surprisingly easy to grind performance to a halt in VSCode using the extensions (even on a modern machine of course) much like using a browser with extensions (but worse).

The same is true for emacs, or vim or any other extendable editor. Poor code behaves bad everywhere.

But the real surprise is, VS Code usual performance is equal or better than emacs even with an average setup which is still a tad more powerful than whatever emacs offers on a good setup.
I think I am qualified to answer this question. When I started my own company (running for 3 years now), I was already writing code for 5 years but that was not web stuff. I was mostly writing wireless communication protocol(firmware).
Then i decided to build a SaaS product. I started with Django and i would recommend that to anyone simply because it comes batteries included. The documentation and whole ecosystem of django/python is great. Also it is used by many large companies in production so you can go a long long way with django itself.

For apps i would recommend Flutter. It's great, one code base for ios/android. Compared to react, i think flutter is easier as you dont have to deal with CSS/HTML etc.

Regarding hosting, start with heroku. It's super easy, does the right things for you out of the box. Security of something you need to do right from day 0 and with doing AWS/GCP yourself, you may be better off getting heroku to take care of this for you instead of doing yourself.
Maybe the fear of actual death by radiation is over-proportionate, but what about nuclear waste? It is only mentioned in the very end of the article, but many countries are having problems finding a suitable site for long-term storage of nuclear waste.
I find it interesting how many seem so content with that constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech means freedom from the government restricting you.

At what point does that stop being useful, as corporations gain power over the government?

Some used to worry that private malls replacing public venues for people congregating caused an erosion of rights. Now the Internet is mostly private malls. Anyone can self host a blog, still, but most spend their virtual lives in the "online private malls".

If a public good is technically difficult for the private sector to produce, that still leaves the option of the public sector, or of individual households?
>Nothing has become easier;

Try running an OS off a USB back when Windows 2000 was around. It was very very difficult. These days I just run my OS off Samsung SSDs plugged in externally 24/7 on nearly all non cloud hosted machines.

If I go to a friends house or bring my laptop around I just boot off that external flash devices. Seperating your data from the machine is very flexible.

This is simple now because the hard work has been done. Also way easier to learn programming these days with StackOverflow and virtually infinite resources of the modern internet. Even 80s or 90s internet had some advantages over today but holistically it's just really been getting better and bigger. Learning programming back then require decent manuals and access to other people with expertise.
Not the same generation but I didn't have anything remotely close to a computer at that age. Still better off than pupils with a smartphone today, but having such manuals that actually do teach would be an awesome thing to have again.
In Italian, for news, or both?

I'm not a big listener, but when I want a shot of Italian music I do "Hey Google, Radio Italia Anni 60" - despite the name, they actually play anything Italian from any age, including the last couple of years, and they have their own app so no TuneIn shenanigans for us expats. I used to listen to Lattemiele but it's gone downhill some time ago, too much talk for my taste now.

I don't really listen to Italian radio for news, just follow a few podcasts like this: https://www.spreaker.com/show/qui-un-tempo

Ah yes, the most important app. Definitely deserves a top 5 spot in the menu!
Maybe useful to build dynamic-types based on configuration files I think.
The construction materials becoming brittle due to constant bombardment with nuclear emissions? Not noticeable in a hydroelectric dam. The materials becoming brittle and breaking down due to constant exposure to heat? Steam does not normally factor in hydroelectric production.

Nuclear ages faster then thermoelectric, which ages faster than hydroelectric. It's a tradeoff.
The child probably won't pay taxes either. More than likely they will leech off the system.
Batteries can be build that last more than 5 to 10 years.

>Ergo, it is also very expensive to run

Wether thats too expensive depends on what you are doing, and how much what you are doing creates value.More disturbingly is that the whole approach seems to scale linearly in quality based on the amount of training. This implies that the NLP market at least, will not be conquored by start-ups from somebody's garage, but will be owned by whoever already had a shit load of money. Whoever gets more funding will have the best model. Not arguing that people involved don't have a lot of skill, but within this space, its funding (not skill) that
will determine who wins the market.

So, unless you can get more funding than the other guys, don't even try the NLP space.

>If this is true, those calling for OpenAI to not monetize intermittent progress are essentially preventing next generation discovery, unless they have alternative monetization ideas to generate 8 figures for research

I suspect they will share the models directly with select customers (with too much money), because the negotation position of these counterparties will be different. The results are easy to replicate with a lot of money. So if you have enough money to do so, your price negotation with them would be more like 'ill pay you 1/3 of that price to liscense your model and save me the time'.

If you dont have enough money to pay the electricity bill to train this much data, however, you can be forced to comply with this bussiness model. Obviously, there will be competitors. Obviously the big boys will likely try to replicate these results (and be succesfull at it). The hope is one of them just open-sources a 'good-enough' model.

Its a bit like Colombus 'discovering America'. Once you know its there the risk/reward of trying to go there drastically changes.
If Bytedance was violating U.S. laws a “ban” would not be necessary to prevent them from continuing to do so. The executive order is based on a concrete factual assertion: “the spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People’s Republic of China (China) continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States” [1]. The injunction we are discussing results from a challenge to that assertion.

The blocks varies a lot. Broadband from the same companies will not block many sites that are blocked on their mobile networks. It depends on location as well as few other less controlled factors.

The implementation isn't even that horrible. Ignoring the integer list. That workaround is still hillarious to me.

Anyway, it seems both impressive that someone did this and that it actually works. Weird how typescript has the nicest typelevel programming I know, even nicer than some dependent ones. It probably is the only language one where autocompletion properly works with computed types?
If you don't mind 2D graphics and no multiplayer, I would recommend playing Starsector. It has pretty much the same basic gameplay loop as Elite, but it features more complex combat + ship mechanics, a more dynamic world and it allows you to setup your own colonies on newly discovered planets.

Also you don't need a powerful machine to play the game, it's runs flawlessly on my laptop in 1080p (Fedora + Intel HD520).
If you’re willing to admit that media and information can be used against yourself and your nation, you’ve made it to the first stage of your awakening. Great; now look within yourself.

Oh, that's weird. Sorry. As it went 256 384 I thought it was 512 intuitively.
Yes, lets use censorship to improve our democracies. Good idea! Let´s also put all those who disagree in prison.
This is a great demonstration of typescript's flexibility
And by wearing masks. Again, it’s the only thing that has been shown to be effective with 100% certainty unlike the other things. I mean how would your 70 year old 105 lb grandma feel about you saying that waiting for a cure is unreasonable as you cough directly on her face?
Use Lan. Reserved so no issues
Oh the error handler example is kinda cool, especially paired with inline rescues

But yea, as is so often the case with ruby, you can really shoot yourself if you try hard enough :P
Here in "flyover country, USA" I was looked down upon for asking to use two weeks of my own PTO after my company's new 'generous' two week paid parental leave. That request was constantly pushed off until the week of my wife's induction, when it was formally declined. I was told the request was 'excessive' and that generally the woman needs more time to recover but the father doesn't need much time.

I guess our mental health during a global pandemic isn't really of any concern to the bottom line. I'm grateful that we have a healthy 4-month old baby, but this country has a long way to go to realizing that compassion can be profitable. Better parental rights, better funding for education and health - better take care of your workers and your future (children) and they will be able to take better care of you.
That's why I gave an example of translation. There are new sequences as well as words but the original owner still own the copyright based on the observed meaning or similarities. If you try searching some of the outputs from gpt, you will come across original source in many cases which are slightly or moderately different.
Well well. My girlfriends oldest brother died in what was a wave of cancer infant deaths that strangely coincides with the fallout of Chernobyl's radioactive cloud.

Her other brother came to the world deformed, which again happened to more mothers than hers. In my school class (~30 kids) alone there were 4 kids who had deformations or other mutations that affected their life's negatively (for those who still live: to this day). All of them were born in the years after the fallout.

In my region you are still adviced not to eat certain mushrooms or the meat of boars.

Not to speak that one death and one deformed child that needs life long attention does something to the families tho whom such things happen.

Of course all of it is incredibly hard to attribute this to Chernobyl, but the region which got the brink of the radioactive rain (southern Bavaria, southern Austria) had the most of such cases to such a degree that the doctors noticed it.

That being said: of course a lot improved after Chernobyl in terms of reactor safety. But nuclear is still a business, where a (not insignificant) part of the costs linked to waste and potential catastrophes aren't carried by those who earn the money.

So whether nuclear really is affordable depends on how you do the accounting — how much you get the public, the environment and by future generations to carry for free.

E.g. how much does it cost to store 1 kg of nuclear waste safely for 10 000 years? Is that cost prized into the cost of the produced electricity or do we expect future generations to carry it even after all uranium has been burned?

Please convince me that nuclear isn't a Ponzi-scheme on the future generations.
yeah Typescript is compile-time-only type system, you can only use it as a type. still cool though

In some areas, sure. In others, driving an EV or hybrid provides social status. To the larger point, the US is huge and diverse. Understanding the differences and the reasons behind them is important. It’s hard to make those kind of blanket generalizations for the entire country
I’m impressed/fascinated/horrified by the way it parses a string into a type with a variant of template literal syntax—though it looks like the parsing is probably very fragile. I’m curious why that functionality was added to the language.

The end result is actually pretty approachable.
Got stuck in a common scam, realizes in the middle of it that I was in a scam with my partner. Mistake to tell my partner that we were being scammed. Partner got depressed, wanted to go home. 3 weeks of sad vacation, have never been more happy to be back from vacation than from that one. Could not "forget" the scam, everything afterwards in vacation circled around the scam. Worth to mention is that my partner was bi-polar so an easy target/never been in a organized scam before that everyone you meet for a coupe of hours are part of it. Probably at-least 20-30 people involved. I guess it could be similar to "The Truman show?"

One year later still feeling sad for not able to protect us from it. Have become extremely suspicious of helpful people/sellers. Had issues with buying stuff since the trip. Not the price/money that is/has been the issue. I wished I never visited Bangkok.

Similar as this one, but for suits instead. (Did not plan to buy it, in fact earlier that day I wonder why/laugh at people that did it, just a few hours later I was one of them. Now I understand them an why it works and will continue to work for 20 more years)

You're making me blush!

The list of integers could be replaced by using tuples and reading their lengths to do basic arithmetic. Might run into recursion limits though.
I had no idea you could compose string literal types AND infer variables using interpolation syntax in the context of conditional types.

I am salivating at the potential use cases for this...
This. Many readers enjoy gaining multiple perspectives on the same news story from which to draw their own conclusions. This behaviour is scarcely catered for today.
To quote the link of yours: "Five years later, Kahneman’s concerns have been largely confirmed. Major studies in social priming research have failed to replicate and the replicability of results in social psychology is estimated to be only 25%"

I cannot discern whether author says that social priming research has replicability of 25% or social psychology has replication success of 25% and priming research has even less.

The scale at which TikTok operates is much larger than any studies that can be performed by a group of scientists. This is true for audience (or test subjects), amount of hardware used and for information gathered.

The link you provided still allows for some replicable effects to be present. Effects that were hypothesized, planned for discovery and then tested and brought to the light of day.

At the scale of TikTok, effects can be discovered without hypothesis first, just by using sheer analytical power available.
The calling to unsubscribe always gets me. How does this still happen in 2020?
Romania, bang average country (GDP per capita almost equal to world average), not even classified as a high income economy and with a GDP per capita 1/6th of the US one is currently offering up to 18 months of maternity leave at 80% pay. There is a paternity leave, I forgot how long, I think it's at least a few weeks if not months.

If there's a will, there's a way.

Oh, our external debt is about 40% and our tax rates are largely comparable to Western ones. So far the only signs of collapse seem to be coming from Communist era buildings :-p
Maybe some version of the innovator’s dilemma? The product would have to be insanely successful for it to move the needle at such a large corporation.
Only 25% of the working German population earns less than around 2300€, 1800€ is, at minimum, a 22% reduction in salary for 75+% of the workers. The median is about ~4100€, so more than half of a pay cut for 50% of the working population.

So yes, it's a good amount but still much less than the minimum 80% here in Sweden.
The only use I've ever had for XEyes is, ironically, under Wayland. I use it to see quickly which apps are running natively as Wayland apps, and which are using XWayland. The eyes don't follow the mouse when you hover over a native Wayland app, but they do for XWayland apps.
Not a joke at all. Just the presence of a old nuclear plant in a place being hit by an earthquake would have created enough reasonable doubts to distroy the tourism in the area. Loses by 2% of the country GDP at least since them. Probably much more if we extend the bad publicity to adjacent Mediterranean coasts.

Tourism is like 14% of the Spanish GDP so raise your offer or go away with your nuclear crap. No matter how safe you claim that it is, would be still a lose.

This in the best case. With even minor damages in the plant, things would turn scarily expensive. Really fast.

So it is a mistake to think in terms of either nuclear or fossils. In real life either you have nuclear, or you have tourism plus fisheries plus agriculture plus wind turbines. You can not just say that you want to replace Silicon Valley with a nuclear plant; that would be political suicide.

Nuclear needs to use exclusively a lot of room, can damage huge areas if something goes wrong, and is only justified if there is not a better option. At this moment there are potentially dozens of alternative uses that are not only better economically but also much safer.
I think that depends entirely on you situation. I had two weeks leave, and three weeks of vacation right after, meaning I stayed home with my wife and daughter for the first five weeks.

For us that was barely enough, and based on our experience, fives weeks should be the absolute minimum period for the father to say home after birth.

So what if some father take the time to do projects around the house. At least they're still there to spend time with their child and the mother.
My wife uses Facebook and I beg to disagree with you.
