Psychological doesn't mean "you can't become a functional human without it". it means "without it, the mental state of a significant amount of humans will be altered". Under that definition, there is certainly an argument to be made about sex in some forms being a "psychological need". which build off the 3 universal psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness:

There are many much more well studied people who have spent much longer debating this, so I'm not interested in debating this here. I just want to note that valid arguments exist, and that I feel you are still conflating "basic" with "psychological".

>Also, there are asexual people.

If you'd like another more controversial example: consider parental supervision. You can live a healthly life without ever leaving your parents' home nor ruleset. And in some other societies it is entirely expected to live in your parents' home even after marriage alongside one's parents (still following their personal values). However, some may argue that this hampers the psychological needs of autonomy and competence. That one will never have true control and choice and that you can never truly go out and challenge oneself while under a parent's wing.

Much like the basic "needs" of sex, this can be under contention and is ultimately up to society. A few anecdotes of those who made it or not doesn't rule it out as arguably being a psychological need not being met. Much like a few asexual people not necessarily ruling out sex as aruably being a psychological need at some leve.

I remember all the hype when shader programming started. After reading all I could about it I realized it would be simplified in a few years and learning how to program shaders at that moment would be a waste of time. Now there are no-code tools to design shaders since physically based shaders are way too complex.

Same will happen to ML, it's getting so complex that we will need a design layer on top of it, and forget about NNs. At that point we will be able to reach the next step of artificial consciousness, and a new summer for AI research.

I'm glad to hear big tech wasn't able to solve AI, and the solution seems so far far away.

In the meanwhile I'm myself having fun creating an AI operating system.

Now that sounds unappealing.

But fishsticks were always great as a kid.

I don't know why it isn't mentioned that they were good for dipping. You could dip them in tartar sauce, inferior to british fish and chips, but kids didn't mind, they were even amenable to ketchup or mayonnaise.

> A project that maintains a list of different JIT implementations for programming languages and compares them would be a great way to see what are the different approaches to implementing JITs and which language features make it hard to implement performant JITs.

Does it depend on the definition of multi-tasking?

We take multiple courses in colleges, and we switch context all the time. I often worked on an assignment or reviewed coursework between two classes. I usually took no fewer than 5 classes in a semester, and a class usually had 4 to 6 assignments, 2 to 3 midterms, and a final. So we often had multiple assignments or tests due at the same day, which means we had to work on multiple tasks in a day too.

Similarly, we became more multi-tasked when we grew more senior. A design review now, a product planning meeting in the next hour, followed by an 1-on-1 to discuss a particular issue, and then a task to write a white paper. Again, multi tasking in my eyes. One does carve out some quite time for deep think, but the majority of the time will be broken into back-to-back meetings for multiple tasks.

Can anyone explain the “why does this matter” paragraph where the author seems to suggest that using branches in our program is a security risk?

I know that branch speculation can be used as an attack vector if our program is the aggressor - but does simply using branches in some way make us more likely to be the victim?
No, proper regulation either forces companies to curb their emissions or taxes it. In other words, to internalize it.
I hate this maxim. It's my guess that it is only perpetuated by those who haven't worked in software professionally.

It is exactly the extra rules, inevitably poorly communicated, that aren't hard coded into the form that make these anxiety inducing to navigate.

I am here, procrastinating on one form right now. I have left myself this week to get to stage one( of three).
Right on one order of magnitude where I come from (.au)

Which is still, while perhaps not as “atrocious” as plural “orders of magnitude”, without doubt something people considering riding bikes be fully aware of and prepared to accept the risk/consequences of.

I personally believe you can manage that risk. But I might be bullshitting myself because I want to ride because I enjoy it a lot. 32 years and approaching 1 million km on the bikes I own with my most serious injury being a dislocated shoulder is a fun/consequence ratio I’m happy enough to live with. (I suspect my decision there might be different if I had children or other similar responsibilities…)
Not really. New rules were invented just to make him be wrong. Like those issues with the Mexico border and aggravating North Korea. Biden has recently aggravated North Korea too but people don't seem to be afraid he's starting a nuclear war like they were when Trump did it. Biden also hasn't opened the border with Mexico to allow visa-free entry yet people aren't calling him a racist for it.

He certainly did some really bad things like mismanaging Covid, but most of the hate was about things he said, not things he did like invading Iraq or wiretapping his political opponents' headquarters like previous widely hated presidents have done.

Some of the hate was even about his physical appearance - the color of his skin, his hairstyle, the shape of his hands, etc. That absolutely wasn't earned. It was just hateful people spreading hate.

Sure it would. For one, you can have the capital and funding controlled by the DAO. Right? This model obviously works better for software or more abstract mostly-digital businesses such as banks or exchanges or insurance but it could still fundamentally improve the accountability of a physical-asset backed business. Look at Uber as an example of how a taxi company is managed despite the fact that Uber doesn't own any cars. All that was needed for Uber to exist was smartphones with GPS and the right incentive structure in place to keep people honest.

But it's clearly better than Uber, for example, if a decentralized ridesharing organization were to exist. Because in a DAO situation, the early drivers and customers of this DAO-Uber could have been rewarded with governance tokens that helped guide the development of the protocol. Maybe Uber would have been a less toxic corporation if it was basically owned by its drivers and customers. The DAO would have the treasury, the community, etc. It would have managed incentives based on on-chain voting.

This is how Uniswap works today. This is how MakerDAO works today. This is how Aave works today. We're already disrupting exchanges and banks. A lot of other business models will be disrupted in similar ways.
True. But if you bought $100 worth of DOGE a few months ago, you could have had about $50,000 worth of DOGE today.
Userbenchmark is so bizarre. I really want to know who's running it and what their motives are for being so blatantly disingenuous.

The best theory I've got is that the owners were shorting AMD stock before it became obvious that they were serious competition again, and now they're using their reach to spread as much FUD as possible to claw some of their money back. But they come off as such idiotic hacks, I'm not sure that theory really makes any sense.

My advice for the author and anybody else considering this is to break out the confirmed-correct assembler code into its own non-Go object and then link it in; otherwise, you're depending on the compiler to never change and inadvertently introduce branches. Since the functionality of the code wouldn't change it would be difficult to check with a unit test. (I guess you could add one that did the assembly step and then grepped for jump instructions, but that has problems of its own.)

Surely you don't think this technicality is compelling. My original comment contained hyperbole.
In the April discussion about the list of customer names, Singer posted to say that attempting to link the list to genocide was “absurd.” On the Friday call, he went further.

“I strongly disagree we live in a white supremacist culture,” Singer said. “I don't believe in a lot of the framing around implicit bias. I think a lot of this is actually racist.”

He continued: “Very often, if you express a dissenting view, you get called a Nazi. … I have not felt this is open territory for discussion. If we were to try to get into it as a group discussion it would be very painful and divisive.”

Singer concluded his remarks. Fried responded, “Thank you, Ryan.”

A handful of other speakers followed. Then a Black employee asked if the company could revisit Singer’s remarks. (I’m withholding the employee’s name and other identifying details out of colleagues’ fears that they could be targeted for harassment for speaking out.)

--

Interesting that comments objecting to political hyperbole gets the commenter suspended (leading to resignation) with his name all over the place, while those who called for his censure are deemed as needing to be protected from naming due to "harrassment for speaking out".
Ah. Fair enough then.
Not necessarily. Before the EPA, states would often put their toxic dumps close to the state line, where the winds and the current would take their crap into the next state. Incentives only work if there are no externalities (sticking someone else with the bill).

And moving power from the cities to the state level tends to screw the city, especially in heavily gerrymandered states.

You're certainly right that NIMBYism in zoning laws is a big problem, but NIMBYs can be quite powerful at the state level as well.
As one more aside, note that "sex" in this category isn't necessarily the same as "sex with another person". As another controversial take (that I'd need to do a lot of research to verify), this may very well refer to masturbation and other autnonomous ways to sexually relieve oneself. This doesn't allow for sexual intimacy (the second category), but this may or may not satify the bottom rung needs.

While one can certainly go without sex indefinitely, I'm much less sure if most people can go without ejaculating indefinitely. Much more research needed there.
Many of them by default upload all the contacts. The iphone in the beginning would do it, but eventually they changed it to ask during bluetooth pairing.
While traveling by car during one of his many overseas travels, Professor Milton Friedman spotted scores of road builders moving earth with shovels instead of modern machinery. When he asked why powerful equipment wasn’t used instead of so many laborers, his host told him it was to keep employment high in the construction industry. If they used tractors or modern road building equipment, fewer people would have jobs was his host’s logic.

“Then instead of shovels, why don’t you give them spoons and create even more jobs?” Friedman inquired.

You’re right that those sort of rules require some kind of “smarts”.

None of them seem to require recording or log files.
I could see linking to some photos of the first edition. There's a few images, but since you've printed a batch already, seeing photos of those might make it feel more real and more useful.

Also, if any buyers of the first batch posted public, verifiable comments about the cards or how they used them (like on Twitter or Instagram), I could see inlining those.
Having used Monarch at Google (basically an explicit relational algebra for a query language), the fixed-function query "language" for DataDog is truly sad. It seems that prometheus made similar mistakes to borgmon in terms of designing a quirky query language, but at least it has one.

For an example of annoying behavior in datadog:

* Zoom in on any chart with default_zero. Eventually the spaces between the points will go to zero. You have to add a rollup whenever you use default_zero to avoid this.

* In general, you have very little control over interpolation, which is a very important part of aggregating and graphing.

* exclude_null will remove any series with any null label. You can't write arbitrary filters on series labels.

* Label names and values have to be the same to match. E.g. you can't join 2 metrics where different labels have the same value.

* The GUI doesn't support a lot of the features, e.g. timeshift.

* The available functions often can't be composed. E.g. you can't min by X and then sum.

I have a ton of complaints about the GUI too (e.g. it's broken by typing too fast), but I'll save those for later.
It does in skid conditions by detecting the slippage and releasing and reapplying the brake far faster than you could alone.
That is their plan as far as I know. And even before that, their interfaces have generally been pretty good about tactility. My '17 does have a touchscreen, but it is entirely optional and everything can be controlled using physical controls.

I wouldn't be that bullish on the current crop of research. While each technique comes out with some impressive wins. Many of these wins are on toy tasks, or the gains are incremental on tasks well below the commercial utility threshold.

Even large models like GPT-3 can't tame language and are steadily pricing themselves to be un-competitive with people.
You are overestimating the role of social skills in attraction and not talking about looks.

People who are good looking experience halo effect where others put a positive spin on everything they are doing. If a guy is good looking, but shy, women will find it cute. If a guy is ugly and shy, he will be seen as a creep.

A fairer comparison would be to that of MtGox, three years earlier, in which approximately 10X as much money was stolen from early Bitcoiners, but which did not result in any clawback of funds.

Conversely, in the “billion bitcoin bug” situation, no funds were stolen from anyone — 51% of mining power merely chainforked to a non-buggy version of the network. FWIW an identical situation could happen today on Bitcoin via a 51% attack, but it probably would be rejected in exactly the same way and for exactly the same reasons.

In both the MtGox and Ethereum DAO incident, the underlying network was functioning normally; but only one resulted in a clawback of funds from a sovereign entity. Notably, Ethereum had been advertising itself under the banner of “unstoppable applications” up to that point. Seemingly it’s a case of “unstoppable applications, not unstoppable applications”.
This is regarding a JWT[0] which is often used for authentication.

Server-side code which takes a different amount of time depending on what bits are set in the JWT (or any similar authentication token) can be probed by repeating the operation with different values. Think of lockpicking—if you can move a pin and hear a click or feel more or less resistance, you know you've poked something critical in the core.

I'm quite explicitly talking about outcome at the group level and opportunities at the individual level (as you correctly note, it does not make much sense otherwise).

But there seems to be a "definition mismatch" about what "equality of opportunity" means - I'm talking about equality of opportunity and equal treatment for individuals as they are right now at any particular decision point; and this is substantially different from what's measured by, as you say, "equity of outcome at a group level as a measure of equity of opportunity at the individual level" because that essentially measures an "integral" of all lifetime opportunities for all these individuals.

The key difference is whether we consider that "equal opportunity" should include or exclude compensating of earlier unequal opportunities. In general we're talking about specific decisions or policies that unavoidably come after some unequal opportunities e.g. the socioeconomic status of the family you're born in, which correlates with almost every measure of success. I would define "equal opportunity" as a "background blind" system that looks at the relevant attributes of individuals despite of or because of whatever earlier life they had - but it's clear that equal opportunity right now won't result in equal outcomes at the group level, since those would be influenced (and probably dominated) by all the differences accumulated before that. And vice versa, if you're trying to compensate for that, then you might get an equality of outcomes for the groupo, but at this moment you would be granting unequal opportunities to these individuals, even if they actually accurately compensate for other, earlier unequal opportunities to the same specific individuals and not just the groups to which these people happen to belong.
