You need some amount of advertising. If you invented the cure for AIDS tomorrow, how are you going to tell everyone about it? Word-of-mouth works, but only so far. Perhaps over time, people will naturally Google "cancer cures" but will your business still be solvent by then?

If you want to talk about leveling the playing field, you have to be more strategic with your legislation. Don't ban advertising. Ban spending on advertising above some limit. No one benefits from Coca-Cola showing yet another commercial on TV other than the commercial producers - society certainly doesn't benefit though. Make companies spend their ad dollars wisely.
It's a very similar niche to the ESP32.
There’s a wee bit of difference between matching speed with a gas station and matching speed with a satellite, both in terms of cost and complexity.
> I've been called by the credit card company many times for failed transactions that I've authorized. When fraud did occur then I was not contacted by my card company and I had only noticed the fraud because I actively monitor my card.

Yes, credit card antifraud has both false positives and false negatives. It's not clear to me whether you're going from there to saying that it is useless?

> I do not think that the credit card company should be permitted to sell the information about my transaction under the guise of determining how likely it is that someone has stolen my card.

I think I misunderstood you earlier. When you wrote "the credit card processor should not have any right whatsoever to do anything with the facts..." I thought you meant that they shouldn't be allowed to use the credit card data to do anything, including fraud prevention, not just that they shouldn't be allowed to sell it?

You're not applying the rule correctly. Twitter and FB are preventing, say Trump, from posting at all, even to those who want to receive his messages, so they aren't just blocking his messages to recipients who don't want to receive them. That goes beyond simply "blocking unwanted messages".

Thanks for the info, so can you please elaborate more on how are you access the prediction logs? Is there a specific log format? How do you know the model input schema?
A lot of that bias comes from the dataset used. CelebA is a common one but not the only one. In these datasets the faces are predominantly white. There's also the difficulty that darker faces are more likely to not gather as much detail given certain lighting conditions and so that affects Black people more even if you introduce an equal number of samples (so you need more diversity in lighting conditions for them).

That said, Baidu and Tencent have datasets of predominantly Asian faces, so their bias should go in the other direction. Being better at Asian faces (probably they do well on white faces because they can pull from typical research databases), and then not so well at Black faces. But this is just a guess. We can't know without seeing the results (which then it is still hard to determine bias because of how results are presented).
That's how space travel development works. It doesn't take off; it crashes; it explodes; it fails to land; it works. From then on pretty much, it works.
Any over budget and poorly run government program I see it as a jobs program. F-35, CalTrain, NASA SLS, etc.

This is in stark contrast with partnerships with private industries. For eg DARPA + Moderna or NASA + SpaceX.
That's what rats are for. For some experiments the research animal will be immediately "sacrificed" then have it's brain sliced and diced for inspection. Brings a whole new meaning to "thank you for your service".

They will google it and find a forum result somewhere that says "If you have iCloud, try turning off Private Relay. This solved the problem for me!" followed by a dozen other people saying 'Thanks so much, this fixed it for me too!"

At least, it would if their Etsy accounts weren't getting locked until they can contact support.

That said, the Etsy app won't be subject to Private Relay, so if the functionality is there then a lot of users won't have to worry about it as much.

My guess is that the query itself takes the same amount of time either way, C API or CLI. There may be some I/O overhead when using sqlite3, but I doubt if it's anything to worry about. The beauty of using sqlite3 is that it hides the complexity of the C API, which is procedural.

> these companies don't really want to know you, they just want to ensure they are able to serve relevant ads to someone like you.

"Relevant" is their PR-speak, but really it's just whether you're in the desired target audience. If I target an ad that discourages people from voting to vegetarians or people who like Fox News, that ad is not necessarily more relevant to them.
That still sounds incredibly optimistic. The most modern RTG:

I remember when the CAN-SPAM act was in Congress. All of us who were following the issue looked at it and said, "this just legitimizes spam, puts a nice picket fence around it, and make sure that any company that wants to spam you knows exactly where the boundaries are so they can do so with impunity". As we expected, it didn't reduce spam at all, but now we have and industry and entire companies dedicated to mass unsolicited email. But they aren't breaking any laws.
ASML's stuff:

> The machine is made by ASML Holding, based in Veldhoven. Its system uses a different kind of light to define ultrasmall circuitry on chips, packing more performance into the small slices of silicon. The tool, which took decades to develop and was introduced for high-volume manufacturing in 2017, costs more than $150 million.

[…]

> The complex machine is widely acknowledged as necessary for making the most advanced chips, an ability with geopolitical implications. The Trump administration successfully lobbied the Dutch government to block shipments of such a machine to China in 2019, and the Biden administration has shown no signs of reversing that stance.
> I think as usual the crux of this debate is the security properties of figuring out correct software, and the parallels to checkpoints. I think you misunderstood me on a couple things, but I'd recommend that we focus mostly on the question of how a user can download correct software/data. If we can come to an agreement on that, I think how to get on the same page about the rest will become much clearer.

Okay. I agree that this is one of the two key points we disagree on.

If you want to focus on your specific proposed implementation on PoS rather than all possible PoS implementations, we can narrow this further. I think you're saying that it's possible to verify the checkpoints in a decentralized way without PoW. Is that a fair statement of your opinion?

The other key point I think we disagree on is that you seem to think that it's possible to verify that time has elapsed between block validations in PoS. Is that a fair statement of your opinion?

i've been thinking a lot lately about how i could design a civ-like game with a core mechanic more like hamurabi [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamurabi_(video_game)]. the output needn't be purely textual (e.g. the game could display a map, or graphics of various entities), but the input would just involve making decisions about various variables, and the simulation engine would take care of the rest and show you the outcome.
> makes it impossible to guarantee that none of your packets ever route through a specific country

Technically untrue, since you can add "strict source routing" as an IP packet option that specifies exactly where it will be routed.
This is an interesting breakdown, but here's my analysis:

Let's say that ~100% of Etsy.com views are through Safari. Of those, 100% have iCloud+.

Let's say they did this and 0% of people visit the site through chrome.

That's 100% less revenue for them. Pretty amazing that this one feature could completely kill Etsy's revenue stream.

(For what it's worth, I agree with you that Etsy is not going to tell Safari users to pound sand, but your arbitrary numbers don't make an actual point unless they're based in facts and figures.)

> there's evidence that at least some neurons "record" information about their activity in the form of RNA

Source? I'm not a neuroscientist, but I'd have thought that I'd have heard of this if there were legit evidence. Are you saying that neurons might use RNA as a sort of "long-term" memory of activation patterns? This seems really unlikely! But again, I'm not a neuroscientist.

Audacity fork dev quits due physical abuse by 4Chan
Agreed. I have been trained by npm to ignore its audit messages.
Do you know if there is any test footage of that anywhere? That's, to me anyway, the second most amazing thing about the sky crane...that I can't find a single frame of it in operation on earth.
$9.5 billion over is pocket change! If you adjust for inflation $10 billion is only $7.7 billion in 2007 dollars. Assuming the telescope works I can live with it being expensive.
This is confusing to me:

"How does BL602 compare with ESP32?

BL602 is a General Purpose Microcontroller that supports Bluetooth LE and WiFi

ESP32 is more of a Bluetooth LE + WiFi Controller that supports Embedded Programs"

The microcontroller in an ESP32 isn't second class or anything, and seems "general purpose" to me. So I'm confused as to what point is being made.
I think one doesn't need to reach that complexity in order to benefit from ECS design.

On the other hand, most of the games have somewhat-throwaway code, so the code design may not be so important indeed (VVVVVV was for example discussed on HN).

Thanks, the first fallacy is great, I had not thought of this before. It's similar to how people will not deem change possible until it has always existed (i.e. when convinced, they overwrite the memory of their own past opinion).

All of this reminds me of the early days of the TiVo. It had a recommendation system that it would use to fill your DVR with shows you would like. If you recorded a show in a new category (which gave the show an implicit positive rating), it would often go off the rails and find everything in that category. The first time I recorded "The Simpsons", it filled up my DVR with cartoons over the course of the next week before I noticed what it was doing.

We seem to be basically no better than that sort of logic.

I don't agree that kids should have dev tools disabled because that just seems counter productive but the school manages the accounts and has a responsibility over student safeguarding. I'd be concerned if they weren't enforcing policies on students accounts.
"If psilocybin is legalized I feel that the responsible thing to do is to restrict its usage to the context of therapy."

What are you going to do with those people who choose to use psychedelics for religious or other purposes outside of a therapeutic context? Throw them in jail? We know that doesn't work, is counterproductive, and ruins lives. People are going to do them regardless, especially as more and more people wake up to how beneficial they can be.

If there's a media backlash from the inevitable increase in negative reactions as more and more people use psychedelics, we'll have to take on that backlash head on. Hopefully the world will react more sanely than the last time there was a moral panic about psychedelics in the 1960's and 70's.

We've learned a lot since then, there's a lot more information in the public about these substances, and they're not as closely associated with the counterculture, the antiwar movement, and antiestablishment sentiment this time around. They're actually much more mainstream now, and as allies there are many suffering people and even veterans who see the healing potential of these substances, so it's much harder to demonize their users as mere druggies and freaks, as was done in the 1960's and 70's.

As every successive year of the Psychedelic Renaissance passes and more and more positive results come out of all the research that's going on in to them, I'm feeling more and more hopefull that they'll fully become part of the mainstream culture in some fashion (starting with therapeutic and religious use), and that there'll be no major backlash.

This is pretty much my current arrangement and it really is a great way to work. Just today I popped into Slack after a week-long break, completed some low-hanging fruit issues and assigned myself a big one to work on for the rest of the week. Our boss occasionally sends us priority updates and of course there are high-priority issues that need to be dealt with immediately by someone, but for the most part, it really doesn't matter if I work full days for a week straight or if I spend two or three days working "overtime" and enjoy a 4-day weekend.

Besides being generally nice, it's also a total godsend when you have other things going on - I'm currently working towards a CS degree and there's no way I could've balanced the two if I had a "regular" job.

We're one of the few industries where we are not only able to work like this, but also have the tools to do it efficiently (because we built them!). Yet, inexplicably, the majority of companies still insist on cubicles, strict working times and constant synchronous communication.

To be clear, there are definitely disadvantages to this and we need to be very careful to not let this idea turn into a gig economy type situation where if the company doesn't have work for us, we don't get paid (stable pay is often far more important than how high it is), where an individual's slice is too small to live off of and where people turn into expendable "work processors", but if done correctly, this really does seem like the way forward.

Sure, but it has the potential to be used with large infrequent doses for treatment resistant depression.

Would this had ever existed if Apple did not start to protrct users fr the same problems?

Apple does not live from exploiting data as much as Google.

There is a lot of truth in all this. But there is even more marketing. Google is a corporation, and if Apple is doing something about it it's not bc they are good. It is bc they do not care about exploiting data as much. Because they are competing.

This proposal would have never existed without competition.

On a tangent, I'm building an open-source data IDE focused on developers/engineering managers rather than data scientists. The goal is to be able to easily make SQL queries, HTTP requests, load files, script in Python, and visualize results all in a single place.

I think compared to Jupyter Notebooks this can more directly solve a problem for anyone who wants to do analysis on customer data, historic log data, JIRA tickets, incidents, etc. The long-term goal for a commercial version would be to have high level connections to all the APIs developers use; to make cross-datasource analysis easier.

Personally, I like to see sqlite builds into the bash.

For features such as:

Continuous logging the bash commands, env, results, exec time in a sqlite database for security/auditing and regression testing.

The db file can be kept opened, no need to spawn a separate process for each command logged.

Anyone else interests in such approach. Anyone thinks of any potential issue for such integration?

If there are enough interests, I can start a open source project for this.
What if the opposition speaker decides to speak for 10+ hours (assuming the rules/etiquette of the house allow doing so) because he wants to prevent the government from passing some legislation he strongly disagrees with? Should the entire house be forced to sit attentively listen to him reading TV scripts or whatever? Even in less bizarre cases the opposition speaker might purposeful asking irrelevant questions/talking about irrelevant points to appeal to his supporters or otherwise being unconstructive.

I'd say most of the formal etiquette and dress code rules are needless distractions which historically were designed either to exclude lower class people from government or as a form of a public ritual which would lend additional weight and gravity to decisions made the parliament (because the majority of the population were not educated enough/didn't have enough time/etc. to take them seriously just based on their content).
