Along with the $3 billion to NATO.

When 5k US troops were being pulled from Germany, that news wasn't greeted with applause, but with Merkel shitting herself.

Yea, the US isnt perfect. Spending $15b on the world that just loves to take a shit on us... fine by me. I for one dont disagree with isolationist policies too much. This country is made up of folks that left other countries for a reason. Why interfere with the world stage? It's not like there are any other super powers that'll exploit that power vacuum. The US is the only super power with big bad, evil intentions in the world.
Yes they are independent of ZFC but they still exist. From the original article talking about CH which is also independent:

> This independence is sometimes interpreted to mean that these questions have no answer, but most set theorists see that as a profound misconception.
They believe the continuum has a precise size; we just need new tools of logic to figure out what that is. These tools will come in the form of new axioms.

I believe the same applies for BBs. They have precise values outside of ZFC but we still cannot ever know them because they are incomputable (??)

For anyone curious, the name for this tuning technique is "stretch":

Software synthesized pianos implement this too because it's part of how we expect piano-based instruments to sound.
The way it's written, it sure sounds like any government. I expect them to selectively enforce it only for governments they agree with, though.

Bang on. I think one of the best things we can do as engineers is help build alternatives to these authoritarian companies' tools, and to strive to make the on ramp as easy as possible. As it stands right now, it is a lot of effort to use Libre tools when compared to the poison pill corporate ones.

The second best things we can do is support projects and be vigilant against the creep of corporate interests into FOSS.
> The fact insulin isn't a few dollars or free is beyond disheartening

90-95% of type diabetics have type 2 diabetes. Of those, around 95% can completely eliminate insulin dependency by straightforward dietary modifications. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6104272/

Under what moral framework should these people (around 90% of diabetics) receive insulin at others’ expense? I can see at least a first-order argument for having everyone else pay for obligate insulin dependents’ medication, but I struggle to see an argument for foisting the cost of an entirely preventable dependency on everyone else.
A. Which government? All governments in general collectively? Or just the governments you want to believe? I'm sure they aren't going to listen to the COVID skeptic President of Brazil, right?

Even better, as a user, can I appeal to the authority of a different government than the one I live in? Let's say I appeal to the authority of Brazil as governing my content even though I live in the US. How does that work?

B. Because no government has ever lied on official records when there is a disaster. For sure. And no government is currently, right now, lying on their records to save face. For sure.

I think most think communism is so bad that it's worth accelerating its collapse. As for the video, I don't want to hear about elections from a Marxist.
Still. There is a difference between saying something hasn't been ruled out and saying that it may be true. To me, "may be true" implies a decent (> 10% chance) that it is true. My impression is that most experts do not think it's true. They just don't have enough evidence to definitively rule it out.
Another common "career progression" is for attorneys to become judges. Now we've established that everyone in the courtroom is "seedy". Still, citizens are often surprised by the awful performance of the USA justice system.

> they have an alternative to digging in and fighting you to the bitter end

There was an alternative though. The alternative was for this guy to not make a cringy blog post about his past anti-semitism, and simply not talk about it.

The solution to people having horrible ideas in the past, is not for them to make giant, public renouncements.

Instead, the solution is for those people to be ashamed enough about their past positions, that they won't even admit that they held them.

That is a really good solution for most people, as most people are not going to have every little detail of their past interrogated. It is very much possible for people with these bad ideas, to merely stop having those bad ideas, pretend like they never had them, and join productive society.

I'm not convinced von Neuman probes are actually feasible. For one, you'd need general artificial intelligence because the task of setting up a production line on a different planet is incredibly complicated. Then you'd need to move a lot of mass across star systems. Tiny replicators are not going to survive the harsh conditions on other planets, and then find and extract all the resources you need to build bigger machines. I'm not sure what the minimum feasible probe would be, but I guess a lot bigger than everything we can send into space now.

Finally, I'm not sure interstellar flight is realistically possible. Especially if you are not sending solar sails or rice corn sized probes, but a payload the size of an oil rig or bigger.
Europe is free riding on the US.
This really is one of those great shames of the US. Insulin is 10x what it should cost.

Out of pocket, Fiasp costs 7.50 euro per 3ml, Novorapid costs 6.50, Novomix 30 is 7 euro, Triseba 12 euro, even the ridiculously pricy Xultophy is only 30 euro. The idea that "We halved the price" when the price is literally ten times too high, and not presenting it as "a start, we intend to bring the price down far more over the next few years" but as "and then we stopped, we're undercutting and that's all we're interested in" is... insane?

I was shocked as you until I read the actual text.

Banned misinformation "includes _census participation_ that contradicts official government records."

Census participation. For example, "You didn't register in the census last year? You're ineligible to vote." It's aimed at misinformation that discourages people from voting.

That seems much more reasonable, and far more precise, than information that contradicts any government record.

Funny you should say that. Let's have a look at what the out-of-pocket costs would be if you live in, say, the Netherlands: https://www.farmacotherapeutischkompas.nl/bladeren/preparaat... because those prices look a hell of a lot more normal than US dependents get squeezed (literally) to death for.
I've had numerous people say that to me over the years and I still never have a reply, because for me it's just such a mind-bogglingly foreign way of thinking. I just cannot put myself into that kind of mindset enough to actually figure it out.
This is a very biased view IMO. Plenty of businesses are based on patented secret sauces. Even for the type of companies that rely on execution, there will be important lessons learned, which ultimately become the "secret sauces". And you don't fear a random employee who might fit your secrets in their brain. You fear a set of experienced employees who can replicate your businesses somewhere else if they want to.
Remote work seems like one way to address this.

Another way is to organize with your coworkers and either negotiate for commute compensation, or negotiate a wage that allows you to live close enough to work that you aren't spending a month of workdays a year simply driving to and from your job.

Addressing the 40 hour work week could help allievate this problem, as well. Productivity in the US keeps reaching new highs and yet workers are still expected to work the same amount of hours as they did in the past, and their compensation hasn't increased with those productivity increases.

The idea isn't new; it came from Carl Jung [1], who coincidentally also coined the terms "introvert" and "extrovert". I don't believe his notions of "psychic energy" are taken seriously by the scientific establishment of today.

I've used adNauseam (only on FF, Chrome booted it from their store) and TrackMeNot. AdNauseam blocks ads, but also virtually "clicks" on them to make it look like you are interested in every ad served to you, filling your data profile with noise (in theory). In practice the jury is out; some ad tech insiders have suggested they can really easily tell when this is happening, and it ultimately serves as a way to MORE easily identify you by providing bits of entropy.

TrackMeNot does a similar thing with google/bing/yahoo, submitting random popular queries to search engines in the background. It even emulates "bursty" search behavior, where you might not input a query for an hour, and then do 5+ queries in 5 minutes. I use this and have actually seen its effects, my "filter bubble" is much less tech-oriented and this effects auto-complete, result ordering and even the news articles I get in my Google Now shelf on my android phone.

The answer is no, as far as GDPR is concerned, if they want to process and/or sell data of EU citizens or residents they have to follow some rules. I’ve no idea how the EU plans to enforce this regulation outside of the EEA, but it’s beside the point (as in it’s not what you asked)

I treat old disks like archive tapes. E.g. old 320GB laptop drives.

- Copy data to them once.

- Have redundant copies of data on multiple devices.

- Once data is copied, catalog it, and put it on a shelf until needed.

They're unlikely to die just sitting there without power, and multiple redundant copies should cover any issues with single-device failure.

Given that Cuba's regime was responsible for putting nuclear weapons next to the border and pointing straight to the US, and given the fact that a sizeable portion of the population of a swing state lived Cuba's oppression in the first person, only the most nieve can believe this has anything to do with ideology.

Likewise. If you'd like to connect you can find some contact information for me on my profile. I see you're into graph DBs too :)

This message will self-destruct.
The argument would be that communism/socialism is not the root cause of the embargo rather it's a peripheral cause. The root cause is not incompetence on the part of the Cuban government but malice and while communism/socialism may be a red flag :-) for malice it's not why the embargo exists.

Now is that true? I don't know but I'd bet that's more or less what you'd hear from a supporter and the easiest move is to just take them at their word.
Confused about this. Isn't the comp-sci perspective to use the effective topos and computable partial functions? In that case, LEM fails and so must AOC; instead, we have Markov's Principle.

It is not as if the countries lack resources. Their fast growing population does [0]. So far, Europe does not seem to be willing to repudiate the asylum treaties it signed, so the young men always have the option to try and reach Europe(an resources) under the guise of seeking protection. And once they are in, their forced removal is unlikely [1], so they cease to be a resource problem for their country of origin and start to be a resource problem for the new host society.

The military does not even play a role here. All the poorer countries need to do is a) not prevent their own young people from leaving, b) not prevent activity of smuggler gangs, c) complicate deportations by refusing to issue passports to their citizens who destroyed their papers underway. None of those actions need guns, much less superior guns.

I certainly understand the need for consistency, but the default throttling regime does offer some benefits.

On modern system, the peak speed is usually higher than the consistent speed, so if you're running software with short CPU peaks, you can have better results with throttling than not. Also, if your software doesn't use all the cores, you may be able to run those it does use faster than the consistent speed.

Power savings are still useful even when the power comes from the wall, and thermal savings often lead to less noise and can have secondary benefits in conditioned environments. (Of course, there are environments where computers make a good replacement for electrical resistance heaters)

Yes. And you nailed it; there can be no explanation of anything anymore. Nuance is irrelevant.

>How do you tell the neural net when to dust or ward?

My knowledge on what is feasible with AI is fairly limited, so maybe a proposition like this is a bit naive - but wouldn't a more effective solution be to use some sort of machine learning/neural net hybrid that also incorporates data from matches played high-skill teams?

From what I'm reading, OpenAI trains the neural net entirely by playing games against itself, and only uses matches against humans as benchmarks - so it essentially only develops strategies of play that primarily work well against itself. In most cases those probably coincide with strategies that work against human teams, but it seems like a lot of information is going to go missing - which is probably why it's only been successful in certain subsets of the game.

It reminds me of a story I read a while back about two children who grew up relatively isolated from the rest of society, but had access to musical instruments. Since they had no teacher and apparently no other training materials, they developed an entirely unique style of performance and composition. Obviously in the case of music "success" is entirely subjective so simply being different doesn't invalidate it. But the point of OpenAI is to eventually beat human players in all aspects of the game - and if it's not going to actually train against humans, then success is going to be at least partially coincidental. So I would definitely agree that OpenAI (as it stands right now) has some potentially insurmountable weaknesses.
