His type of behavior and language brings out hate and revulsion in even the kindest people.

From what I see, the hate and revulsion is brought out primarily by confirmation bias due to (a) subjective reporting on his behavior and language and (b) gaps in factual knowledge.

I assume there are people who are legitimately repulsed by his behavior, but I never see people actually explain themselves clearly. They always engage in question-begging and other fallacies and misdirection, as you are now. You state that Trump's behavior is reprehensible, but do not allow that position to be challenged and provide no argument at all in support of your statement.

If you don't know how to apply discipline and empirical methods to have a discussion in a detached and productive manner, then yes you are going to have a very hard time with conversations with people who don't share your biases. And if you can just downvote, censor, and otherwise dismiss/marginalize/deplatform the person challenging your bias, you will never learn the truth.
It is easily detected. Neither Twitter nor FB have any (edit: typo) desire to remedy this. These bots are what keep the discourse going.
Yes you can! And the best thing is you can draw data from your Notion workspace. If you're an active Notion user that means a different dimension compared to usual websites, which you need to update separately. This can just work as a set of public-facing pages for your own company or personal workspace.
White Castle Rolls Out More Robots from Miso Robotics to Cook in Its Kitchens
> react apps often have dozens of additional packages. And the churn on these packages is significant.

IMO that's just poor engineering and not an inherent problem with React. The app I inherited at my current job had many such packages. And we have indeed had to update/replace some of them. However most of them were implementing functionality which could be trivially replicated in "plain react" so we've mostly replaced them with simple internal components and are not anticipating having the same problem in future.
The content and context of this book surpasses any course on Linear Algebra I took while attending UT Austin.

End-to-end encryption means that no-one apart from the sender and recipient have access to the cleartext.

To detect what end-to-end encryption is used for I suppose that you need to scan and analyse the cleartext.

So...
setting aside unforeseen interactions between complex systems, the article seems to say that they deliberately disabled the brakes on a public road, while the jeep was moving! that goes well past a fun prank for a story.

irresponsible on the journalist's part too to consent to this. the point could have been made just as well on a private track.
Which means that React attracts people who aren't really developers but they want to jump in on the hype train, right?
> What could go wrong in a 2 ton computer on wheels

I don't see it this way. Right now, there are so many people in cars that should not drive. Alcohol, drugs, lacking skills - to me, computers add to safety.
There will always be a risk. I trust computers more in this case.
Chrome on iphone is just Safari with a Google logo iirc.
> knowing how to code can help you optimize, automate, configure no-code solutions. The end result is always back to code.

There's some value in having abstractions being more visible. I don't think that strictly speaking something like Node-Red qualifies as 'no code'. But it made me understand that, given that so much of development nowadays consists of 'gluing' code together, there's potential for such tools. Even if some of the boxes happen to allow you to write code.

At some point, all you care about is inputs and outputs. We are missing a better way to do these things.
It depends on how you define shallow. I find GPT3 is indeed amazing at general knowledge, and making plausible sentences and conversations out of that general knowledge. However, if I start asking it questions which probably haven't have been asked before, or to connect ideas, it often falls apart.
> and we have TLDs to namespace domains

We do have them, but as everyone has already realized, namespacing domains isn't really a good idea.
It's almost as if journalism involves sifting through the PR pitches in your email inbox, and deciding which ones make good enough copy to hit your weekly/daily news story quota.

Thanks for the detailed answer. That’s fascinating.

To be clear , you’re suggesting that there’s a map of labels (diapers, cereal etc) to marketing ids so apple can still say they anonymize your data even though for all intent and purposes, they don’t?

This is often the case in practice. But it's a pretty easy problem to avoid. Usually those packages simply aren't necessary in the first place.

The OS was part of the "wow" factor, especially ability to have multiple applications with different screen resolutions at the same time on the same monitor.

Amiga had some important software like Deluxe Paint, Pro Tracker, LightWave 3D. You could develop games on it, not just play them. Cult of the OS lives on in AROS and MorphOS.

Of course they do. Google results are _massively_ censored. Entire sites are not listed there, even if searching for their name or domain.

It's good that this is being talked about, but at this point everyone should know that google results are mostly about steering you into their belief systems if the search term have even the slightest political tint. Bing is much better for being neutral, even if not always for the quality of the results themselves.
It's great--as long as one finds the direction agreeable.

But all these roads lead to Niemöller.

What does that mean? Are you referring to "technical" analysis/tea leaves reading or is there some real information you're referring to?
I feel the same way. We've switched from React to Svelte at work. Going back to React would be a step backwards for us, so much feels needlessly overengineered with awkward APIs. React was a great improvement on Angular, but luckily things are still moving forward.
I mean, it's nice that the Github CEO doesn't agree, but if the solution is to get it back on Github, then it isn't really a solution. Smaller projects won't get this kind of attention.

What this whole episode should do is make it more common place to use tools like git-bug and mirror repos. Maybe someone will even write a tool to do so easily. But what I see happening is people just wanting the status quo to stay.

Until we learn to decentralize our code and write the tools to do so, this will keep happening. Maybe in 10 years we'll have learned our lesson, but it seems we're just doomed to repeat our mistakes.
I tried Polar 1.X but unfortunately I couldn't make it work on Windows. Might try again in the future. Sticking with Calibre for now.
> It couldn't possibly make the connection that river and streams are bodies of water, because there is no association with reality.

Yet if you asked it if rivers and streams are bodies of water it would probably say that they are.

Likewise if I asked you if black holes and neutron stars are both celestial bodies you would say yes... but you've presumably never seen them, only read about them.

Now I think you could argue that you could ultimately tie your knowledge back to some reality, like star ties to the sun and how you've seen the sun, but I haven't been so convinced that we know enough about how the mind works to be sure that the distinction between form and meaning is real.

Assuming there is no "soul" which makes meat life special, I don't see any fundamental problems with building simulated intelligence.
It's a browser plugin, not a facebook app. Why should facebook have a say on what plugins I have installed in my browser that did not come from facebook? Should they be able to have a say about ublock origin or other apps I have installed on my computer/browser?
I totally get the frustration but there's so much bundling already (oh lord if you delete your Google or Microsoft account) that this anger seems to be more about Facebook specifically than the act of having a single account system for multiple unrelated services.

Since the brain can communicate between both hemispheres without a corpus callosum[0] I think it is obvious that our brain does interact with itself via electromagnetic fields.

> Raft on the other hand... I've implemented versions of both paxos and raft, and by golly was the latter more difficult to get right.

Could you clarify what you mean? "Paxos" as defined in the literature (and as presented in this article) is a single-shot consensus algorithm. Raft is a leader-based replicated state machine. They are not comparable at all and it's not surprising if you find Raft more difficult.

However, in practice, when people say "Paxos" they usually mean some variant of MultiPaxos and "Raft vs Paxos" is typically interpreted as "Raft vs MultiPaxos". It's also well-established that MultiPaxos and Raft have roughly the same complexity.
You avoided the flames, but I won't.

The amyloid beta hypothesis is the result of a failure to understand that correlation does not imply causation. As a result an entire field of science has been taken over by people who are convinced that the correlation between Alzheimer's and amyloid plaques in the brain is proof of causation. When attempts to treat people on the basis of this theory failed, they doubled down on the theory rather than questioning their reasoning. The result has been decades of failure and suppression of all alternate lines of research.

As a result, billions of dollars have been spent researching only one idea. Which means that the arrival of effective medications has been delayed by a generation. Or possibly two. As a result of which, each year we spend hundreds of billions of dollars treating the tragedy of millions of Americans living with dementia. Most of whom likely would not have dementia today if alternate lines of research had been allowed to flourish decades ago.

There are some pieces of stupidity that we should be allowed to get angry about. Here is a comparison. The number of people trapped in misery RIGHT NOW from Alzheimer's is a multiple of how many Americans would be projected to die if we all caught COVID-19 right now and nobody got treatment. But Alzheimer's happens in slow motion and there is no public awareness of the size of the debacle. So only a small fringe gets upset about it.

Personal note. About 20 years ago I got interested in the topic, and concluded all of what I just said. However I'm not in medical research, and even if I was it would have been impossible to get funding for researching the myriad of root causes that had not been investigated.

I didn't learn anything that added to this picture until 2 years ago. That is when articles came out identifying that infection appears to have a causal relationship (rather than the mere correlation of amyloid plaques), and people became aware of research demonstrating that anti-viral drugs can reduce the rate of Alzheimer's by 80%.

Now for evidence that adherence to theory really did cost us a generation. As https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/could-alzh... points out, the correlation between HIV-1 and Alzheimer's was demonstrated in 1997. Clinical research demonstrating the anti-virals help with Alzheimer's came out in 2011. Both results sank without a trace for years.

By contrast if people studying Alzheimer's had the intellectual honesty to keep saying that amyloid plaques are only shown to be correlated with Alzheimer's, then the 1997 research would have likely spurred follow-up research faster. And the positive 2011 result would have resulted in adoption much faster.

But instead they dishonestly doubled down through decades of failure. And effective prophylactic treatments THAT ALREADY EXIST won't be likely to become common medical practice for many years to come. How many more lives are being destroyed every day due to this ongoing stupidity?

Basic epistemological mistakes have consequences. The consequences of this one are staggering.

This is another leak. Some or all autonomous communities in Spain have their own police (similar to state police in the US), with Catalan police being one of the largest.

This leak reminds me of the time a Russian group launched a bot campaign to destabilize Spain and support Catalan independence, with enough success to be called out by the Spanish defence minister [1]

A simple argument for electromagnetic fields being the seat of consciousness:

The brain is composed of discrete units undergoing local interactions following the laws of physics. Conscious experience is a seamless unified whole. But there is no way to arrange parts into a whole; it is necessarily a collection of parts. Therefore the brain, a collection of neurons, does not constitute the seat of consciousness.

The brain's electrochemical dynamics constitutes the fluctuations in the electromagnetic field within the brain. The electromagnetic field of the brain is a seamless unified whole. Therefore (as the only remaining possibility), the seat of consciousness is the electromagnetic field within the brain.
I would not surprised. The MS Teams client here uses more RAM than all the other programs I have on my desktop, including but not limited to my desktop environment itself (Gnome) and Firefox with plenty of open tabs.
Disclaimer being that I'm talking mostly about 5 - 10 page presentation websites, consistently, I achieve 95+ on Google Page Speed for Mobile when deploying the Next.JS solutions on the Vercel infrastructure. There are helpers for working with images that can generate multiple versions, transform to WebP and other stuff. This is where most of the optimization work goes I think.

> Most of the time when I see the "new hotness" being advertised, there don't really seem to be any specifics that tackle advanced use-cases so it's difficult to accurately assess whether the technology is worth serious consideration

I'm also averse to 'hotness' but at the same time, consideration should be given based on use case. I can't talk for advanced use-cases with Next.JS but using it for the one off freelancing simple website gig, it's a breath of fresh air.

There's also a customer serving around 100.000 pregenerated web pages (simple stuff, catalog item with pictures, related items and people linked to it) and the speed is insane for navigating their internal catalogue :)

> automatic programming always has been a euphemism for programming with a higher-level language than was then available to the programmer

And it seems to me that progress is going in the opposite direction than "they" want. Every time you move up the abstraction stack, you're surrendering some decision-making to the lower levels. If the underlying technologies guess right every time, you have no need to understand what they're doing. The first time they guess wrong, you have to spend a lot of time understanding not only how the lower layers work, and not only why they did the "wrong" thing in this one instance, but how to fiddle correctly with the layer you're operating at to get the lower layers to behave properly. You can work quickly with the high-level abstractions only as long as you understand the lower levels reasonably well.

Optimal machine learning requires a good understanding of memory cache hierarchies, parallel instructions and complexity theory - not to mention the statistics and calculus that it's formed on. And "optimal" isn't some trivial "save a few seconds" but often "return an answer within the lifetime of the universe".
afaik it is against Google TOS to scrape data from their services e.g. play store but I can't find the evidence now. Some mobile store analytics agencies do it very carefully seizing the risk of their google account being banned forever. Haven't heard the precedents, still.
It's difficult to call what many of these people do "investing". It's closer to speculating. And speculating is gambling.
About 400 million people pay monthly for access to music instead of listening to radio, occasionally buying albums or piracy so idk if anything really backfired...
Automotive engineers think about those things.

Looking at CANBUS, I guarantee that they do not. Any device trusts any other device, access to the bus is the only security control. Connect your entertainment system - probably an unpatched Android tablet - so it can display any info from the rest of the car, instant compromise of everything.
Very possible. Facebook and other social networks (and their SDKs embedded in every mainstream app) use IP addresses as a way to infer relationships between people.

UPDATE: the lecturer responded and as it turns out, they were also referring to the story from the book Art & Fear by Bayles and Orland.

Yes, the technique was introduced in 1964 by Brzozowski. But the Brzozowski derivative (as it is now known) was generalized to handle all CFGs (instead of only REs) in the 2011 Might et al paper titled "Parsing with Derivatives". This work was then refined this year with "Parsing with Zippers", which generalizes Huet's Zipper data structure to represent CFGs (instead of acyclical, deterministic tree structures) and uses that to re-build the 2011 algorithm with a better representation, achieving greater performance with a small algorithm.

one engineer can do it in about four hours. three and a half hours to research the ideal replacement bulb, twenty five minutes to set up the ladder safely, and five minutes to replace the bulb itself. source: I'm an engineer and I replaced a lightbulb this week.

the real problem arises when you have multiple engineers replacing a lightbulb. the time needed to decide on a replacement bulb and agree that the ladder setup is safe is quadratic in n, where n is the number of engineers. it still only takes five minutes to replace it though :)
How do you validate I've paid and let me through with a static QR code for something like the metro, or a ticketed event, or even a coffee? How do you know they paid the right amount? I turn and show you my receipt, and you hope it's not faked?

The answer is they don't do that - and they do it the other way around. The user shows THEIR QR code to the merchant (or automated kiosk).

Which means they still need a terminal - and it's going to be slower than NFC.

And NFC works when my battery dies.
Data aggregators can/do get the purchase history of people and will associate that with their marketing id, I built systems to do this and it is amazing how detailed it is. This includes in store purchases, digital purchases, and can even include cash purchases if you have a store discount card etc.

Generally IME we would get other devices associated to that user. e.g. If Sam bought something on his cell phone, when we aggregated that data or purchased it from others, we could associate Sam's other devices (computer, tablet etc). Typically we would only target this consumer based upon their marketing id across devices, and not target associated devices which didn't match to the user. However, there are some aggregators that do track devices commonly seen with the user, regardless of a known marketing id.

So not impossible you could have been targeted this way.
There are other options, e.g. hosting somewhere where automatic anti-circumvention takedowns aren't a thing and the RIAA would have to go through a proper court process.

That seems like useless hair splitting. It's similar to pondering whether, in the cell of a DRAM chip, it is the electric field of the stored charge that is representing the 1 or 0 meaning, or whether it is the presence or absence of electron particles which is doing the representing.

The point is that automation causes us to cede control to the machines which can be hacked, or worse abused. It is a transfer of power to whoever controls the machines. This centralising power can be abused in ways people can only imagine. Of course, people will give up what’s left of their control and power in the name of “safety and security”, they’ve been doing that since 9/11. So much so that we have the term post-9/11 to remind them to toe the line (and to kneel and take off their shoes).

Imagine for instance there is a bush fire and your centrally controlled car decides that the fire is fake news and prevents you from leaving since it’ll cause congestion on the roads. No different from Twitter banning the NY post story. Maybe they decide NY Post headquarters is not a real place and refuse to navigate the car there.

Yeah we should implement some kind of social credit system so that people who do drugs can’t drive or take public transport. They’ve got that in the modern utopia of China right now.
