we're really lacking in ability to effectively describe the qualia of "imagining" - it could be that some people visualize internal fidelity more closely matching the raw signal of their optic nerve and others have an entirely separate way of experiencing. for myself I can say that I mentally visualize just fine but it is nothing at all like actual vision. if you asked me how is it different then this is where words fail. it's entirely different but I can't describe how.
"Due to a limitation in pip, if you are upgrading from Ansible 3 (or earlier), you need to uninstall Ansible and Ansible Base before installing Ansible 4"

Was it really a limitation in Pip? Or did the Ansible devs just really want this non-backwards-compatible release to use the same name as before, just so they wouldn't have to use a new package name like "ansible4"? Even though that would allow both pre-ansible4 and ansible4 scripts to co-exist? And considering everybody has to test and update their code for ansible 4 anyway?? This seems to just cause more pain for devs and admins with no real benefit. Which is to say, par for the course.

This is the main reason I have always hated using Ansible. Arbitrary decisions leading to a cumbersome, bloated, undocumented, difficult mess.

Because these forms of wealth are fungible: if I spend fiat, that just means I have less fiat in the future that could be put into Bitcoin. The only difference is the conversion costs - depending on what exactly is the financial situation you might be saving a conversion cost by either spending fiat or spending BTC.

Keep in mind, because Bitcoin is an appreciating asset, sane investors will often need to spend their BTC to re-balance their overall portfolios. If I had never sold my BTC, essentially all my wealth would be in BTC, which is reckless. Spending my BTC directly vs trading it for fiat and then spending the fiat at minimum reduces the number of conversions needed, is better for privacy, and can even be more convenient now that Lightning works pretty well.

Yeah! You can do it with Jaeger or Hypertrace. Hypertrace in this case will provide you more entity focused view so you can see dedicated dashboards for your APIs, services and backends.

Identifying expensive method calls is very easy with Hypertrace due to OOB metrics and additional enrichment which happens in ingestion pipeline. Many of our users are using Hypertrace for very similar use-case.

You can always reach out to us on GitHub discussions on https://github.com/hypertrace/hypertrace to discuss more and understand details around it. :)
As a reminder, this isn't directly about "mathematics" but "mathematics education". I don't see how you can talk about education without using concepts associated with pedagogy, which is "the theory and practice of learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political and psychological development of learners." (Quoting WP)

Can you reframe my scenario with a framing you like?

Teacher A wants students to learn principle X. Teacher uses method M to do so. Student B already knows principle X, via method N.

Teacher says student's method N is wrong, because it isn't method M, and gives student B a poor grade.

Student B becomes demotivated, and doesn't care so much about learning principles Y or Z.

Teacher A wants students to learn principles Y and Z.

What framing would you use to describe this situation? Do you think teacher A should change their teaching style?

In the document I referred to, method M is the standard way taught in the US, method N is the standard way taught in another country, and student B is an immigrant child who learned method M from B's parents before teacher A taught it in class.

In my scenario, method M is a very visual technique for multiplication used for early learners, and method N is the standard way taught to more advanced learners in the US.
It is possible to mourn the fact that women have historically been excluded from pursuits in which they might have excelled, while not demeaning the worth of the pursuits that they were forced into.

Childcare and home-making are invaluable and important. Many other pursuits are also valuable and important. It's not unreasonable to suspect that _some_ women have historically been forced into being home-makers when they would have been happier and/or more productive in other pursuits, _even while acknowledging_ that other women have lived their best-possible-lives in the (I say this earnestly and unsarcastically) noble pursuit of home-making.

I see a lot of skepticism about the Tech Exodus (techxodus?) in this thread but what I see is very real. The city is dead. It's a ghost town. The vibe went from amazing to pretty scary. Many of my friends have left for good. Moving to Texas, Florida, Hawaii, New York, Arizona and they all have no plans to return. Personally, I still, deep down inside really love California, even though its become a high tax hell hole. But I still love it. I love the climate, I love the topology of the area, I love the opportunity. The big Silicon Valley players will stay. Apple isn't going anywhere, Netflix, etc etc. So I've decided to get out of the city. So I'm moving to Silicon Valley to get away from the problems that are spinning out of control in the city. Personally I'm pessimistic about this decade and I see the way things are trending in the city. I just don't want to be there anymore. Its not a happy place, so the numbers outlined in this article aren't really that surprising.
I can visualize things well in my head but certainly can't do multi step things there. Like of I'm assembling idea furniture I can't piece it together in my head from the start, I'm blindly going one step at a time.
The number of fatalities is 10x-100x more than what is published officially. Most people died at homes due to them being rural and all hospitals working at capacity.

At government hospitals, you have to be tested and be covid positive to be listed as covid death.

Private hospitals in rural areas simply don't send the stats back.

I don't know any family in India that didn't have a death among their relatives.

They said injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere and this is probably the price to pay for letting Modi run his private circus of his kumbh mela and election rallies. The strain has escaped India and we don't know how it will affect the rest of the world.

All his political life, him and his supporters cried for statues and temples and now they stand on the ashes of million dead people and all they can hear is a deafening silence of their gods.

Honestly using modern web technology (Babel, PostCSS, etc.) makes it pretty easy to maintain IE11 support without TOO much effort and there aren't that many features you absolutely can't use (CSS grid is probably the most painful missing feature).

From the friendly article:

> But many communities follow what is known as "Jal Pravah" - the practice of floating in the river the bodies of children, unwed girls, or those who die from infectious diseases or snake bites.

> Many poor people also cannot afford cremation, and so they wrap the body in white muslin and push it into the water. Sometimes, the bodies are tied to stones to ensure they remain submerged, but as many are floated without weights. In normal times, corpses floating in the Ganges are not an uncommon sight.

You can also find plenty of gruesome footage of decomposing corpses in the Ganges near Varanasi, shot by recent tourists.
And yet compared to New York, Chicago, or any other major city the stats are in the dumpster. [1] Or even San Jose. It is clear that even within the Bay Area SF is disproportionately bad and you have to wonder whose responsibility that is. City leadership - the DA and mayor included - have to have some responsibility?

The article mentions one (poll) and doesn’t make it clear they it’s posix. The rest is Linux specific.

Aside from being a lot more recent (posix 2001), poll was also broken on macOS until 10.9. Though you can always use kqueue instead that remains a portability annoyance: Linux still doesn’t have kqueue.

In hindu tradition, people cremate and spread the ashes in Ganges.
> You really need to read my first comment carefully before using your libed powered psychoanalyst powers.

Your first comment was just a blanket name calling lumping everyone you disagree with as anti Hindu anti Modi and COMMUNIST [sic].

Before talking about liberal education, realize your faction of extreme nationalists is busy perpetrating nonsense about vedic indians having invented all science and whatnot. I call out anything I perceive as biased, no matter right or left wing.

> You as well as the leftists are part of this elite.

Assume everyone you disagree with is elite, conveniently ignoring the 2000 years of religious elitism, ultimately leading to rise of a lazy preisthood to prominence, in midst of which we lost half of the country to invaders. If the europeans you hate so much did not colonize us, we would be under even more shitty religious rulers for more years.

Hating colonialists is just a trend among right wingers, conveniently ignoring that was the game then. You can't paste history with black and white.

We cannot play victim card here, brother.

> It is the western, Islamic and communist countries that want to export their ideology, not us.

Sort of, because our Rightwing ideology is not concerned about every nation. Otherwise you guys would be trying to propagate it as well. Not to mention you speak as if all these are united conspiracy to suppress some "superpower India".

Every fucking religion tried to spread itself. Even Vedic religion spread itself to South India through Brahmin migrations. Communism and western wokeism are just that - some kind of religions thinking everything can be painted black or white. We need to be aware of them, but thinking they are a unified conspiracy against Indian corrupt incumbents who claim themselves to be "Dharma Rakshakas" is stupid beyond imagination.
We sort of already know that these models scale in such a way that a model with 1000 times the parameters is, indeed, 1000 times more powerful. We haven't found a ceiling effect yet, so the onus is on the skeptics. These things scale.

Avoid donating to PM CARES FUND. It is a private entity, not a government fund, that has collected almost 2B$ and as far as I can tell had spent only 30M$ to set up a couple of oxygen plants, most of which are not functional.

The FCC [0] is looking at 100TeV vs the current LHC 14TeV. Is it a big enough improvement to find anything new? I feel like CERN (LHC) is becoming like Nasa, funding massive job projects (space shuttle) that can't compete with a motivated private enterprise or other disruptor (SpaceX) that works out what is needed to make real progress (in SpaceX's case real reusability and methalox fuel).

Indeed. See saltstack for something that does the same thing, witten in python that runs much faster.
Depends on how the company ran. Fast.ai did a great study showing how some social media os designed to radacalize people. They show it as an ethics warning in chapter 6 of their course before the chapter on generative AI. If they train models to increase engagement, said model does not care what kind of engagement it is. So facebook and youtube start the cycle of extremism before whatsapp or other apps get used to coordinate.

> I guess Ansible is still the best option for configuration management

Ansible is perhaps the worst option, next to CFEngine and some other legacy ones. It's just the one everyone goes for because nobody wants to maintain a puppet/chef/salt/etc server, and encoding a bastardized DSL in YAML seems easier than writing Ruby.
Do they use something like dapr.io under the hood?
It's not a secret at all. Transformer models scale. Big models are powerful. Everyone knows this. Google can afford to train very big models. It's not a new technique. I think the issue here is that people are uncomfortable with the idea of AI models displaying scale relativity.
> If we go down that road, however, sites can make ads completely indistinguishable from desired content.

This is exactly the reason why I'm building a web browser with a statistical representation of both the DOM/CSS Layout _and_ the network traffic, so that neural networks can be trained on classifying ads and malicious actors.

There's a lot of requirements in regards of networking for such a peer-to-peer system to work, like a consensus on DNS/CNAME/PTR or consensus on TLS cert validity.

But I honestly believe that this is inavoidable in the near future, given that most Browsers these days are just a Chrome/Chromium shim where obviously Google's business model conflicts with the idea of blocking ads.
Pseudonymous, really.

I mean, "Fuchs" for example means far more to me than whatever the name on their drivers license is. Typically the only time I find out someone's real name on IRC is when their obituary gets posted!
This sort of discussion makes me think of a book I once read by someone who was raised in a fundamentalist Christian sect, maybe Pentecostalism? Anyway, they described how, in their upbringing, the devil and his temptations was so omnipresent, that it was almost as if he was more powerful than God. Whenever you took your mind off the dangers of sin, the devil would come in and take control, one was continually warned. Eventually, this created a kind of cognitive dissonance, because God was remote but the devil was always by one's side, whereby they ended up losing their faith and becoming atheistic.

If we are aware of a negative principle that infests and invades every part of life, though we do our utmost to repel it and mitigate it and remediate it, how can we maintain the conviction that it is not the natural order of things, but is a product of solvable human faults?

I'm not denying the importance of anti-racism or of examples of bias as mentioned here; my point is that when faced with an all pervasive adversary, whether a personified devil or something more abstract, human minds tend to find relief in submitting to the seemingly inevitable via some rationalization.
>Take this scenario: You’ve hiked Mt. Adams. Now you want to hike Mt. Fuji next fall, and you want to know what to do differently to prepare.

Ah yes, that totally common scenario which I'm faced with all the time.

I love this. It perfectly illustrates the peril we are in with the current state of AI research. That the author would choose this as a problem to solve shows exactly the socioeconomic class they come from, and how that influences the way they solve problems. It may seem like a trivial and meaningless example, but these subtle biases will creep their way into these systems and be amplified. And you can bet that this kind of work is the foundation for what will become the technology that eventually governs every facet of our lives once AGI is a thing.

I, for one, am terrified of the implications that a bougie tech bro AI overlord entails.
> manual moderating systems are also a no-go at scale

Yeah, I concede this is a very hard problem (especially when advertisers are involved). And even worse, maybe it's not even worth it to solve. After all, if a minority x% of your creators are expendable to false DMCA takedowns because your market share is so huge, who cares?

Firefox, however, has provided the `dns` API [2] to do requests via the native OS resolver (which in return is also not failsafe due to being unencrypted plain-old-manipulateable DNS UDP requests)

While that's a better way to do that, if the canary had a null at the beginning it would effectively render string off-by-one errors useless, since now they can't even be exploited to crash a program. Again, this should not be used as an excuse to ignore string off-by-one errors since these errors might be triggered in other architectures where the canary isn't guaranteed to start with a null.

What kind of “directional” signal you can think of sending from a planet millions years ago that can hit earth exactly in the moment a SETI antenna directed at it and ready to receive? And how much energy should this civilization keep pumping in the signal to increase the probability that someone can receive them? And why it should make any sense to waste energy like this when the probability that you can receive a confirmation is equal zero even when other civilizations are out there?
