You could always do multiple rings, like the Pentagon has. I believe GCHQ did say that their building's design was inspired by the Pentagon's, so it'd make sense.

These are now the "big ideas" in machine learning? I guess they have given up on AGI then?

In my book, this AI diversity nonsense is not even AI research. The SJWs pretend they discovered the concept of bias, when it has always been a core part of Machine Learning from the beginning.

Even more concerning, it is an attempt to permanently encode their distorted sense of reality in AI models that affect billions of people. This needs to be fought, not celebrated.
There’s also a linker flag that lets you use this format on older OS versions. It seems to work (I tested as far back as iOS 13.4.1) but couldn’t find any documentation to guarantee it won’t cause issues https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/683596
Like someone else here said, most of my 20's was spent trying to prove myself to the world. I racked up about 6000+ GitHub stars, funded my retirement, and acquired a steady job working on the biggest AAA game. I turn 30 this year, and I'm beginning to realize that working less is more important than money and prestige itself. I'd rather just strum my guitar, or go see my girlfriend or parents. I'm beginning to feel like time is slipping away, but I'm appreciating it, if that makes sense
Same things we get in Sahel:

- A foothold in the region.

- Access to negligible amounts of natural resources.

- A shit-ton of bad press and diplomatic conundrums.

- Needing to constantly fight islamist insurgents to stay in place.

- Not having to deal with a refugee crisis ten years down the line.

Macron has visited a few times, but considering he recently announced France would withdraw from Mali, I doubt he'll move towards any kind of re-establishment of the Lebanese protectorate any time soon.

The christian-aligned population is lukewarm to the idea at best, and the muslim-aligned population will fight it to the death, so it would have to be an active invasion. It's not a realistic prospect by any consideration.

I mean obviously it's not green but this particular classification is about financial investment. The bar for what is considered green could be lowered to encourage investment into those sectors.
I clicked expected to see big ML ideas explained, and all I found was Google scrubbing its AI ethics reputation after the debacle last year. I hope they devote their energies to actually explaining some ideas about ML rather than nattering on about fairness.
I'm sure it wasn't intentional but the wording of your comment suggests some official association with Pico-8 of which there are none. Nico is just another pico-8 clone (not meant to be offensive), of which there are many in 2021.The only official projects are made by Zep at Lexaloffle. Pico-8, Voxatron, and a new one in the works called Picotron.
You're conflating intelligence with values. We don't know what intelligence is.

A lot of psychopaths, racists, sociopaths, Dogecoin promoting tech entrepreneurs, gang members, etc are very intelligent according to their own values and their immediate perceived interests irrespective of how dumb they may seem to people like myself that simply don't share their values. To answer your question, in the same way media literacy and sex education have edged their way closer to being first class forms of education, we need to do the same with the concept of social engineering. Everything humans do is social engineering - everything.
Ingratiating an awareness of social engineering into the culture as a responsible and useful tool and do so in a way that is crystallized and direct should be a first class citizen. As it stands this is taught indirectly through a hodgepodge of scattered concepts like "leadership skills", "media literacy","customer service" , .... whatever.

Fuck all this - it's all just social engineering and that is what should be taught. Full stop.

Awareness is needed to help inoculate people against under-challenged ideological assumptions, cults, corporate cults, tech cults, social media cults,nationalist cults,nation-state cults, military cults, business cults, gang cults, and charismatic sociopaths trying to build their own cults. But of course, my view reflects my values and not my "intelligence". :)
They would. But it is harder to get funding for three than it is to get funding for two...
We get paid because we know these tools. It's why we're desired: because the company thinks they want K8s or they're one foot in EKS and they're doubling down. We don't get hired because we dare to suggest they dismantle their pilot cluster and take a sharp turn into Nomad.

Most of us aren't the engineering heads of our departments. So you'll forgive us if we continue pushing the moneymakers we have in our heads and setting up our homelab clusters. I want to be paid, I want to be paid well. It may as well be pushing the technology stack that scales to megacorps because who knows maybe I'll make it there one day.
> Anyone who believes in a free and open society should do away with all copyrights and patents.

Free and open sound good to me! What do they mean exactly? I guess it’s a non-debatable fact that copyrights and patents are abused by many big companies and patent trolls, but doing away with the system does seem extreme, it has also protected deserving individuals on occasion, no? You are saying that it should always be legal to copy someone else’s code / inventions without giving them any credit or compensation?

> Anyone who thinks that licensing will have an effect on what is happening in reality is severely misguided.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean; lots of licensing activity does have a measurable effect on reality. This article is only a small example, but people get sued all the time over taking code and using it without licensing it.
A bit from Bo Burnham's new special "Inside" has really resonated with me. He essentially says that people are increasingly treating real life as some sort of coal mine - a place where they go to extract something (an experience, an opinion, whatever) and then bring it back to the surface to share and use in the digital world.
Copilot is about as much threat to software development as the grammar and spell checker in a word processor is to writing literature. Copilot only infers intent in a very narrow, localized sense when suggesting code snippets; it does not design or create software by itself.

Or just use a system which provides packages for it, like FreeBSD.
At previous job, in an an human ads evaluation team, we had a big row table that got turned into column oriented one every couple of hours. I think it got close to million columns (expanded from leaf protobuf fields). We had some black/white listing as the schema grew too big (~20GB? just the schema, and the limits were few gigs). That was years ago, so probably changed a lot.

But the use case was for various analysts (statisticians, linguists, etc., or any internal users other teams of the table). As their quires might use any column they like - there was probably a way to track down which columns got used over a time, but since it was used for launching new things, you would not know - better be safe than sorry I guess.

Anyway, I'm still fascinated that this terabyte thing got converted using 20k machines for few hours and worked! (it wasn't streaming, it was converting over and over from the begining, this might've changed too!)
Right now (speaking from a US perspective, since that's what I know), a best case scenario for someone with mental health issues like you're describing is SSI. It's around $700 a month.

To qualify, they must establish that they're unable to do any job which could earn them about $1200 a month, they can never have more than $2000 in assets, and they basically can't work.

With UBI, they just... get the $700 a month (for the sake of argument). If they can work a little, well, then they do. If they get a gift, inheritance, any sort of windfall, good for them.

There isn't ever a choice between continuing to get the lifeline check or trying to reenter the workforce, also known as the poverty trap.

This is one of the basic arguments for UBI over means-tested benefits, in fact.
Barclays once blocked all of my company accounts for a week but never told me. Eventually I found out when stuff bounced. When I rang up to find out why they (no joking) asked me to explain why I had transactions from something called "Federal Reserve" (it was part of a US government contract).

I explained why. Then they asked me to explain who this "Federal Reserve" was. I laughed thinking they were joking...Then found myself having to actually explain it. They then had me on hold for ten minutes when they checked with their manager...
Then you would be the one infringing their copyright, and they could probably sue you.

Although I'm curious about what GitHub would do if the original author asked them to remove the work from Copilot. Retrain from scratch every month or so, to remove last month's DCMAed content?

Why does this post have "denton-scratch" above it?
The source code in question is over 40 years old and most likely doesn't exist anymore in its original form.

What do we do then? The burden of proof for infringement is on original authors, and they haven't done so for 40 years.

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, Britain had to take measure to prevent visiting Americans and others from memorizing the designs of their new high tech machinery like the steam engine and the power loom.

Where do we draw the line? Shut down the internet until we create a massive copyright detection firewall?

No, we live with the copying and constantly evolve and adapt our business. Death to all patent trolls.
I would count that as "download somebody elses build". Although I'm sure some Gentoo user is going to correct me on that.
I for one am happy that not every article of journalism has to have an eye opening or mind boggling component.

Same. I don't really use social media, but see the appeal of some. FB for staying in touch with family and friends. Insta for sharing photos. Heck even TikTok looks like a lot of fun.

Twitter just seems like narcissistic self important people yelling over each other. Guess I never figured that one out.
I don't think this is Zep's work fwiw. (Zep being "the developer" of pico-8).
"H2 pellets" could be the name of a street drug that makes people believe absurd things. But, unless you live on Neptune, it is certainly not an effective form of energy distribution.

Hydrogen solidifies at an insanely low 14 Kelvin. Using an ideal Linde liquefaction cycle will waste you 30% of the energy contained in the fuel simply to perform this deep freeze. You get a relatively low density fuel, about 5 times less energy dense than gasoline, that you will need to protect with massive thermal insulation (think Space Shuttle external tank) otherwise it will outgas like crazy and be an imminent explosion risk. When you add the electrolysis and fuel cell loses, you get a bulky but inefficient vehicle.

Sorry, this will never happen, regardless of what some hard SF author converted to futurologist may have led you to believe.
I disagree. FOSS and commercially licensed (and sold) software with EULAs are two very different things, and can be distinguished in whatever legal language implements these theoretical liabilities
Honestly, quicksort seems like a really intuitive way to do sorting, so much so that when I was in school I had to keep remembering that merge sort was the "trickier" way (to me).
Typically in my experience, the further you get away from AdWords, the more broken Google's client libraries are.

I recall a little more than half a decade ago settling on the PHP version of their Geocoding API client library for a project because it was the only one whose documentation matched how you were actually supposed to authenticate.
You should never type your seed phase on any computer. Hardware wallets will give you a randomized keymap for you to recover a seed phrase without using any of the real letters.
> Do you have any source on that?

Mindlessly asking for a source on every claim or observation is one of the silliest and most annoying things people on HN tend to do. It’s an original observation, not some shit I regurgitated from a book. You’d swear 90% of the people here thought you weren’t allowed to have a thought unless you published it in an academic journal. If you read the thread under my comment, you’ll find plenty of people pointing out researchers and historians who came to the same conclusion, e.g. (apparently) Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, whose book I have ordered.

This is entirely compatible with my observation. They aren’t democracies.

1. The voting system isn’t really important, if the voters themselves are restricted to a chosen few who are themselves elected using inferior methods.

I absolutely love Looker for this reason. It understands foreign keys so if you model everything as stars it just writes SQL for you.

So simple, so powerful. I wish something open source would do this painfully obvious thing.

What is almost never mentioned is that the default virtual env will always set the python binary it is called from as the python interpreter for that environment.

So if I want to use Python3.9 i go python3.9 -m venv .venv, if I want to use python3.6 i go python3.6 -m venv .venv etc.

Yes, lockfiles are great, but while everyone can execute the above commands, it is a lot harder to convince everyone in my organization to switch to poetry.

You would not need to produce a perfect copy. A fansub of a movie is considered an derivative of the movie, while being a far cry from being an actually copy of the movie.

You should be allowed to think and perceive and notice things, and use tools to help you do so. It is ridiculous to mandate algorithms should be modified to hide statistical facts about the world.

by all means, educate people that just because some population is perhaps on average more criminal, it doesn't imply any individual belonging to that population is also more criminal.

To hide the statistics would also hurt efforts to find solutions. That can not be a good thing.

Edit: if you don't like the criminal example, what about noticing some populations are on average poorer than others? Would that be a good thing, because government money could be diverted their way, or a bad thing, because banks would be less inclined to lend them money, and landlords would be less likely to rent them a home?

It doesnt have to be considered self congratulatory or smug, or indeed an indictment. The gradual erosion of any need for individual thought or creativity is a real problem nowadays. The existence of a tool like this is just a shame.
Memory bandwidth does improve at least.

This specific page provides references and search terms that can be used as a starting point to search for information from other sources.

If you can recommend another source with a comprehensive list of candidate early treatments for Covid, it would be appreciated.

Since most doctors and hospitals send patients with mild symptoms home to recover, information on Covid treatments will continue to be useful to many, including the subset of vaccinated people who can be infected by Covid variants.

That relative contracted the virus from another vaccinated individual who had recently returned from London, according to Channel 13 news.
... another possible cause is the western diet and your gut microbiome being "shot", potentially from over-prescription of anti-biotics in youth.

At least that was it for me. This was the year before Covid and the right pro-biotics plus a ~1 year long Keto diet got me out of that. I still take the pro biotics and eat differently, though no longer Keto. Never felt better.
Their answer to existential questions was to throw their lives away slaughtering each other and innocents in battle, so they could drink mead in Valhalla until the Final Battle. The question is Existential. Their answer was nihilist.

Yet the BLM riots and the politicians who praised them got a pass.
The thing about "there's been an actual, successful coup in the world's (for now) only superpower" or anything similarly unusual is that it tends to break through simple disregard for the news in a hurry. Something like that seems to happen once a decade, or maybe once every five years at most, and are of the "say granddad, where were you when..." variety. Even the studious news-avoiders might wish to watch history unfold, and even they will rarely miss it unless they actively try to, given how everywhere information is now.

Meanwhile, did you find any of the Trump-related news for those four years (hell, over five, really, counting the election) particularly actionable, in an "I really needed to know that right this minute" sort of way? I kept up with all of it (it was entertaining, for sure) but never did, personally. Even CDC guidance and such during the pandemic filtered down to state and local ordinances by the time they mattered much. Mask mandates quickly resulted in posters at store entrances, and most provided free or cheap masks, especially at first, so there was little likelihood of being caught out there. I anticipated panic-shortages before the news caught on when I saw a way-above-normal number of household paper products in shopping carts at the local bulk store-by the time it was in the news or became a meme a few days later, the shortages were already a problem. Some help that would have been—and realistically, we'd have probably been OK if we'd been affected by them, we'd have figured something out with only very little inconvenience. Regardless, even a news-avoider would have realized that they should maybe pop in slightly more often than usual to see what's up, specifically, with the whole pandemic thing, well before it had much effect in the US.

Most big stories still don't actually matter. Pulse nightclub shooting, or the one in Vegas, or the Boston Marathon bombers? Quick news mattered—locally. Living several states away, I could have found out a month later and it'd have made no difference. Assange extradited, US pulling out of Afghanistan—US invading Afghanistan, for that matter? Russia invades Ukraine? Brexit? Libyan revolution? "Immigrant caravans"? I care because I'm a bit of a politics and news junkie, but if I'd ignored those the harm to my life would have been zero. They're not local events, for me, and they're just not that important to my day-to-day life. I could have found out about Brexit a year after the vote, would have made no difference (there's a joke in there about how long that process has taken).

9/11 disrupted air travel and phone service nationwide, but was of the rare "you could hardly miss it" variety so one was unlikely to encounter those problems before becoming aware of it.

I'm actually having trouble thinking of another event in the last 30+ years, in the US, that wasn't local and that had a "light cone", if you will, of actual effects on my life that hit in less than a week, and for which foreknowledge was in any way actionable. Typically, they never "hit". If they do, then finding out when that happens is just as good.

> And it's impossible to raise your estimated score,

No, what I was saying is that it's absolutely possible to raise your estimated score, because your estimated score is only an estimation of who has the best position.

If AlphaZero is better than Stockfish, then by definition it will make moves that sometimes raise its estimated score, because Stockfish is only as good as its ability to estimate the score of a position better. So Stockfish must occasionally underestimate a position, and then later (after another move or two) is forced to reevaluate (because while it's worse, it's not stupid).

AlphaZero wins because, and precisely because, it believes some positions are more favorable than Stockfish does. You can almost see it as an arbitrage between the two estimations. That's what I was finding cool, and the point of my post.

Try laying out a square with all the vertices connected in a plane: it’s not possible. You must move one of the wires “up” a layer. Which wire? Great layout minimizes layer transitions while also bunching together related HW blocks. The NP-completeness proof is related to work Knuth’s student (Plass?) did on laying out images in TeX.
