I can't edit my post but I forgot to calculate the actual size of the
hypothesis space for the multi-predicate problem for ordered/3. That is: p =
5 (tail/2, p/2, s/2 and llength/2 and shorter/2), m = 4, k = 3, n = 3 (the
target theory is a clause for each target). The size of the hypothesis search
space, i.e. the total number of programs of size n = 3 is (pm^(k+1))^n =
2,097,152,000.

As I say above, Louise's TPC procedure avoids searching this space and so
effectively ignores the exponential term, reducing the complexity of the
problem to that of, in the worst case, enumerating (pm^(k+1)) = 1,280 clauses.

In other words, the problem is easy for Louise, not because the problem itself
is trivial, but because Louise's learning procedure, TPC, is efficient.

For a further example, in the upcoming publication I mention above, Louise is
shown to learn a 2,567 clause theory in under 220 seconds with perfect
accuracy after training on 20% of all training examples. The hypothesis space
for this problem (grid world navigation) is in the order of 2*10^4944 but
Louise shrinks it to the problem of enumerating, at worst, a little over 81
million clauses.
Having him named to the task force and knowing (as I already did) that more Covid deaths happen to the elderly makes his views even more horrifying.

Will he argue that those over 70 should be the last to be vaccinated? That seems like a likely conclusion to make.
Sorry, I'm not a native speaker and not versed in micorwave terminology (and living in Germany).

But basically every MW oven I've seen or used (or briefly touched in stores across Europe and NA) had the same door-opening mechanism: A big button (on the right bottom) that you have to forcefully push into the MW's casing to open the MW's door. During pushing the button (or closing the door) you notice some heavy resistance inside the MW, hinting at a rather clunky but solid locking mechanism.

This is what I mean by "lock" ;-)

Don't let the negatity and accusations here bring you down. I have great faith in what you're doing and greatly anticipate what is to come. I also really liked the post on backdoors and the EU proposal.

I've managed to talk 6 people into making an account (matrix.org) and using element. None of them are linux-y or tech-y and they've mostly managed fine (apart from help with setting up e2ee, exporting keys etc which I helped with).

Is the app dead easy to use (like WhatsApp, Viber, Signal)? No it isn't but it's understandable.
Unfortunately, there kinda is.

This is what Tim Cook said about govt agencies wanting a backdoor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZmeZyDGkQ0 - right around 4:25.

When I buy an Apple product, this is part of what I think Apple does to protect their customers' privacy - No matter what, not even if the govt says so.

Now suddenly, we're back to talking about whether we can trust Apple after they expressly told us not to trust ANYONE including Apple and why that was such a good thing.

Hardly. This is in no way a historical treaty.
> Finally, there are factions within capitalists themselves that create ideologies like fascism who attempt to resolve crises in profit due to labor fights by adopting a highly nationalist and xenophobic position that blames "bad" capitalists for everyones' problems and tries to organize around "good" capitalists that do things right.

Our perspective is that fascists are not capitalists because they seek to manage the economy through central planning.

The rest of this argument is not likely to be fruitful unless you can critically examine your notions surrounding property and violence. Theres also a healthy amount of revisionist historical thinking that seeks to whitewash the terrible conditions created by communist countries. I'm not interested in debating matters of fact here so thank you for your replies and your perspective.
I do not believe any of this for a second. I don't believe these studies can show or prove that correlation is the causation. I don't believe that capsaicin is lowering cancer and heart disease deaths by a magical and clean, 25%. It sounds nice, though.
I would imagine the decision was based on a lack of electric commercial vehicles, combined with the fact that personal vehicles vastly outnumber commercial vehicles.
I would rewrite Lesson 4 as "In many disasters the attempted treatments made things worse." In the case of the Great Depression, scholarship is focusing on the failed response of the FED [1]. The current thinking is that WWI precipitated the farm crisis by (a) generating a huge demand for US farm products (b) caused a labor shortage as men were being drafted (c) farmers took out loans to purchase new farmland and equipment [2]. When farm prices dropped with the end of WWI, many regional banks failed in the 20s leaving behind a damaged agriculture sector. In 1930, when many hoped the economy would recover from the great Stock Market crash, it was the collapse of Caldwell and Company which was a huge holding company that triggered a massive wave of bank failures [3]. This most recent wave of bank failures greatly damaged manufacturing output [4]. What was the Federal Reserve doing in all of this? It turns out they did nothing because either those banks were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Or they made things worse by actually increasing interest rates which made troubled banks even less likely to survive. Bernanke and others now think the FED's failure to keep the banking system alive led to the Great Depression.

Honestly it'd be hard for any 3rd party accounts to make that claim except Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and maybe? Twitter and github?

At one point I was signed up in over 300 places using my Google account. Eventually the thought occurred to me, "what happens if I get locked out of this account?" And I don't really mean shutting it down. I lost a Microsoft account with over $3000 worth of purchases and 10 years of history, because I lost access to the recovery email address it used. So since then I've made sure to "spread the risk" so to speak.

Through 2 years of effort it is now only a handful. Some of them remain because either a) there's no other way to sign up or b) there's no way to convert it to an email based account.

But still - that's 2 years. 2 years of weekly, sometimes daily, moving yet another thing off that login (but it still uses the email! that's the next step -- kill the email).

The level of effort has been gargantuan. For some people, it would simply never ever happen. To lose a Google account would not only be damaging, it would be like your entire life being erased.

The level of damage here is enormous and Google has to take responsibility for the power it has amassed.

If they want to terminate all free accounts, it'd be a wonderful thing. Either people would finally be free of the behemoth, or Google's incentives would change to finally care about users (well.... hopefully).
The idea of banning gas cars 15 years from now is silly. If we aren’t capable they’ll just change the law.

In terms of time and energy, a kettle is faster and more efficient.

I guess a kettle is a single-purpose tool, and if a microwave oven is available, and you don't mind waiting while large volumes (1+ litres) are boiled, and have suitable receptacles to hold and contain that much water while boiling inside a microwave oven, this makes some sense.

(In contrast, I don't own a microwave oven.)

I'd like to agree with you, but I don't think you're helping your argument by picking this specific example.

Thanks! I will do more testing on this one, but I should actually support this already. I do interpret everything down to the microsecond, so it should work quite fine.

I also support mixed source footage - even though I want to provide even more helpers on this front.

Having said that, I do allow even 240 fps as input, but right now I don't output at more than 30 fps. The rationale has simply been that this will require heavy testing. Once I go live, this will definitely work ;)

Thanks again!
I think students internally identify the prestige trap. They are aware that they studied in the hollow pursuit of an “A” rather than for the sake of mastering the topic. They know that they traded excellence for prestige. They gained a signaling currency, and they aren’t confident that they have the excellence needed to gain more.

I find that their reviews are amazing but their "top 10" lists are lacking. Their search: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Search.8222.0.html is marginally better, but in general, they're for researching specific models, not finding models, imo.

Edit to add: The other thing is that for their percentage laptop score, you should generally subtract 80 and multiply by 10. I've never seen them review a laptop below 60% or above 92%.
Currently the worst case scenario is that power loss while overwriting the save file leaves the file corrupted and you have to start the game from scratch. How many games do the rename trick correctly when they save? I bet it’s less than half.

The behaviour should be that if power goes out while saving, the game either updated the save file or it didn’t. Saving should be atomic. That’s the best we can do, and what the user should expect if power goes out before it’s finished saving the game.
You often can, give it a try. You can install the needed Google app and see if it works. You can use Termux Widget [1] to add enable/disable links for apps so you can keep them around in a disabled state, to be enabled and disabled on demand. Create a directory named .shortcuts in your Termux home directory, any script placed there will be available through the Termux widget. Take Google Maps, an often demanded but extremely intrusive app. If you occasionally want to use it you can add the following scripts to enable and disable it:

googlemaps-enable:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

exec sudo pm enable com.google.android.apps.maps
exit 0

googlemaps-disable:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

exec sudo pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps
exit 0

Yes, you need root (and sudo) to do this.

> Capitalism vs. socialism is not markets vs. a planned economy. It's about who owns the means of production.

Yes, and dictating the rules of ownership that others must follow is a feature of central planning.

> but you can't do socialism within a capitalist country. The entire system's function is dictated by capitalism - a co-op, for example, is still competing with all the other capitalist companies and has to follow the rules set up for them or perish.

Yes, they can't compete on a purely material basis. Thats why you don't see them.

> Depends on what that stuff is. Private property is distinguished from personal property in a socialist view.

yes that's it. Your willingness to disregard my opinions about what constitutes my property on a dogmatic basis is the source of conflict here.

> If socialists weren't socialist this wouldn't happen? This doesn't make any sense and it doesn't address the point.

The point being that insofar as expropriation is synonymous with socialism, socialism is a crime.

> So the story goes. The expropriation of value from the Global South has something to say about that, though.

colonialism and neocolonialism are special cases of a command economy.
I hadn't seen it until you linked to it from one of your earlier comments. I have no particular attachment to elm-monocle, and I appreciate you sharing :)
This is true. However, I think there are a variety of scenarios, less extreme than total societal collapse, where it still may be useful to have a large emergency fund. It may not be rational.

> Those "democracies" were privatizing, not pushing a different form of central planning.

that's the central plan. The planners (in their wisdom and beneficence) have decreed that private property is "ok", subject to regulation. No authoritarian can criticize this except on the basis that the authority didn't carry out their preferred dogma.
> The odds of these things happening are to be weighted against each other

Mmmmm not quite -- they have to be weighed against the consequences if they happen. For people who have had a Gmail account for over a decade (almost 2), they've probably got most of their life connected to it -- losing the account then is tantamount to a huge chunk of your life being erased. Photos. Conversations. Access to dozens or hundreds of other websites.

Basically all that'd be left is your physical ID, your bank account and you get to start over from scratch.

And while all of the above can happen, many things on that list are under your control: losing access to your Google account (usually) isn't.

You're quite correct there are no absolutes but the problem is, when the consequence of something happening is extreme, the level of effort you put in to protect yourself from it must be equally extreme: to the point that it's generally good advice simply not to use 3rd party auth at all.

I no longer do. I use email/password or OTP whenever possible. Sites that insist I use social login are sites I don't sign up with.
>or go on offense with you to acquire necessary resources

Are you seriously suggesting, on a hacker forum, to be prepared to use the proceeds of your emergency fund to violently steal life-critical resources from other people in a crisis?

I really hope I've misunderstood, and you're using the phrase "go on offense" as a euphemism for deer hunting.
My favourite bit is when it starts replaying (with full volume) after I've scrolled halfway down into the comments.
That’s tough, it is very hard to compare a spoken language where everything is ambiguous to a programming language, where (almost) everything is unambiguous.

As an example, in my family, there is no general agreement as to how many “holes” a straw has, or a spoon, or a cup, or a donut. If we can’t even precisly define what a hole is, then basically everything we say is ambiguous.
pretty generic advice

>Compounding is easy to underestimate because it’s not intuitive, even for smart people. Michael Batnick once explained it. If I ask you to calculate 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8 in your head, you can do it in a few seconds (it’s 72). If I ask you to calculate 8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8, your head will explode (it’s 134,217,728).

what does this have to do with anything. no kidding that multiplication is harder than addition (it requires many additions).

Using Microsoft and Bill Gates as an examples is major example of survivorship bias. What about the hundreds or thousands of other companies and founders that tried such an approach and still failed. Yeah, in hindsight anything Microsoft does will look like genius given how successful Bill Gates and Microsoft are. if Bill gates had policy of tying his shoes at work instead of at home, people would probably read into that as part of his success.

I suspect some of it is also driven by 'impact-based rewards', i.e. valuable projects get the team paid more.

It means there's immense incentive for teams to monopolize skill and reduce other teams' value so they get picked. It also encourages posturing as strongly as possible, rather than accurately, since it's all based on perception - it's not like you can prove you'll do a better job than another team. To make it worse, if a highly valuable project seems like it might fail, the company will likely throw more resources at it - the risk to the team for getting in over their head is relatively low (and still looks great on a résumé), compared to the risk to the company.

I think the lesser popularity of piracy with the younger generations is somewhat less about intentional takedown-based anti-piracy efforts and more their preference for mobile devices and the "pirate" options failing to keep up while the legal streaming services are worlds better than they were 10 years ago. Apple not allowing torrent clients on the app store definitely helped, though. That comes back to the broader narrative of the war on general-purpose computers: perhaps the most effective anti-piracy effort of all has been selling people devices that run crippled OSes like iOS and Android instead of Windows.
The problem with the "achieved x % this-or-that" statements is that they require a lot of context to understand and are very difficult to verify. Don't tell me that when you're screening hundreds of resumes you can successfully understand what those achievements actually represent or what kind of skills and effort they required in the context of their company, team and problem domain. Let alone compare candidates based on a bullet list of their claimed achievement, each of them using a different metric and worded in a different way.
