Well, you need to post this reply to the person I was replying to instead of to me, as it was their contention that "lead poisoning also has symptoms such as depression and fatigue, which could marginally sway people towards inaction."
‘The war has changed’: CDC document urges new messaging, warns delta more severe
Huh, any reason to use printf("%s\n",...) instead of puts?
Right. Though the problem is not so much behaving irrationally as dishonestly. At any rate it's hard to argue that the bitcoin network is more "trustless" than a bank, since we have coercive mechanisms to ensure that a bank will behave honestly, while we don't have the same mechanisms to ensure bitcoin miners will do the same. Bitcoin users have to trust that they will be honest.

I wonder how much of that nitrate is in Hezbollah’s hands and therefore accessible to Iran? Might very well have had some of our own troops or allies killed by bombs made with the missing nitrate. Foreign aid payments have been shown to be subject to avarice and corruption, and so the trend is to fund specific projects with deliverables and measurable success rates. There’s no reason we should be sending this stuff to a country like Lebanon given the political climate in that country for the better part or seven decades.
>So it's a bit absurd to be optimistic or skeptical.

We skeptics aren't skeptical that AI is possible, were skeptical of specific claims. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of the optimistic estimates, since they really are little more than guesses with little or no foundation in evidence.
Oh yeah, I know there are, but I don't want to have to install something when i've got a perfectly good device that will keep itself up-to-date in my pocket all the time that moves from car to car. Who wants to blow another several hundred on a device that only works for me while I'm in the car?

(I also pointed this out originally but I have now owned two cars in the last ten years with head units that couldn't be replaced because the vehicle integration was too tightly coupled.)

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of tokenism?

To me and to many others, though not to you, certain parts seem to exist purely to collect diversity points. This seems like pandering to me, and I expect it is insulting to anyone who views it that way. For some people, being a token is even more demeaning than being excluded.
Because competition is how innovation is born.
The US won’t allow that for now because of external competition from China and Russia. That would result in the US losing the current Space Race.

EDIT: Probably India as well

If SpaceX were Russian, Indian, or Chinese, the US would shit its pants.
I believe they are disagreeing whether "engineers working in this space are out to lunch" and since I have been "an engineer working in this space" I was asking for more clarification about what it meant to be "out to lunch".

I'm currently working on/running https://nocommandline.com

A few months after launch (the MVP), I made some adjustments and below is a rough outline of my schedule

1) Reserve Saturday mornings for writing up articles that I intend to publish on the blog. I might not publish the article then or maybe even soon, but writing the article helps me document whatever issue I came across, worked on, learnt during the week. For example, I recently changed the layout of the landing page and needed a way to do some quick and dirty A/B testing. I have just spent this Saturday morning documenting what I did.

2) Mon - Fri:

Mornings - Use Twitter to find chatter related to my product & niche. Respond/interact with this traffic. Also generally learn stuff about startups/business/technology. I discovered that I have gotten more interaction/leads from responding to others on Twitter than from directly tweeting stuff

Evenings - I already have a roadmap so I try to put in a few hours working systematically through the roadmap.

> Slow and steady wins the race.

Not if it's a 100m or 200m sprint. Try that and you'll finish dead last.

If SpaceX had gone with slow and steady, it would have merely given their monopolistic competition - competition particularly well connected in DC - that much more time to try to wipe them out using their preferred approach of avoiding competition via government protection.

Blue Origin may yet make something of itself via slow and steady pacing (which Bezos can afford), however it's not winning the race.
On the flip side they're heavy and tear up the roads a lot more than lighter vehicles:

> Does taking away a man's Twitter account really mean he has nothing left to lose?

Of course not.

The article was about shutting people out of the financial system (I acknowledge that you mention this later, albeit briefly, in your comment), which is all that my response was intended to address. It is unfortunate you chose to lead with what amounts to a strawman.

> To argue that it was censorship that triggered the problem (and that a few people losing their social media accounts justifies an insurrection) is the tail dangerously wagging the dog.

I didn't, which again sounds like a strawman. Perhaps you misunderstood my comment to be broader than it was.

> the argument of "If you do this (technically legal) thing, you will be met with violence" is not automatically a moral or decisive one, even if it is correct.

I can't parse this. What is a moral argument? Do you mean "in bad faith?" I wouldn't even equate those two concepts FWIW. An argument is correct, or it isn't. I don't assign morality to an argument itself.
Nation states have no problem securing the raw precursors for explosives. The idea that Iran need some complex scheme is a little far fetched. Hezbollah, perhaps.

what kind of fool tries to fight against the ocean, and bill the rest of society for it?
4 hours, in my experience, is the absolute maximum that a motivated person can work on a heavy task in a day. I can't cite any study for this, but it's a number that I've seen used by really solid teams, internally. Billable hours, of course, exceed 4 hours-- but that's because billable hours includes "boilerplate" work.

4 hours is A LOT. You can get a lot of stuff done in 4 hours. 4 hours x 5 days a week can be sustained long term as well provided that the remainder butt-in-seat work isn't too draining/demoralizing.
Browsers actually implement range-requests correctly, what Netlify has done is advertise support for it but send data incorrectly.
To me, nature has his own meaning of suffering and the value of life is intended at whole (think to the ants). Humans are somewhat off this mechanisms, maybe because they can choose to inflict pain. This is the misery of humankind i like to think about, but nature - it is just like it is with no bad or good.
The critic that they don't reduce droplets or the virus in the air is plain old silly since that's not the reason they're used. They are used to deflect and disperse the virus.

"Recent CDC research found that desk or table barriers in Georgia elementary schools didn’t correlate with lower infection rates. Mask mandates and ventilation improvements did."

That lack of correlation should be expected. Face shields and Plexiglass panel shields only work to reduce a direct blast of the airborne particulates into your face (eyes, nose, mouth which are points of entry for the virus).

What they did prove is mask and ventilation work, and that too is (and was) common knowledge.

But proving the efficacy of those plexiglass panels and face shields is very easy. Put three people in a well ventilated room, one wearing a face shield, one behind a plexiglass panel, and one not wearing anything and blast a load of spray paint at their face and see who's face it sticks to the most.

I don't think we even need to do that to know the answer.

$15/hr, working indoors in an air conditioned building, in relatively safe conditions, is an absolutely amazing deal for low skilled workers in most parts of the country.

Do these tools provide an "integration path"? For example, is there any of these tools written having in mind the fact that they will be replaced by a full fledged software if successful, and as such provide some "injection points" for manualky written software to be executed?

If yes, I can see that being reasonable as a solution to sliwly migrate from a no code software to a fully coded software.

I understand and appreciate the idea of prototyping without code, however this goes end in end with the reality that if adoption is big and you suddenly have to make something performant and it's impossible on the no code tool, you might have a big problem to do (write from scratch) with a tight timeline (performance exploding), potentially losing customers.
Is Trump not responsible for Operation Warp speed? The program that spent billions of dollars to stockpile untested vaccines while they were going through testing so that we'd have an ample supply to distribute in the event they were approved (on an accelerated time scale)?

Operation Warp speed is why, while everyone else is still struggling with supply, everyone the US who wants a vaccine can get a vaccine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed

Unsurprisingly, the Biden administration did the exact opposite of what I suggested. Further entrenching COVID as a partisan issue.

> In January 2021, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced that the program was expected to undergo a restructure and renaming under the Biden administration. Also in January 2021, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, former Operation Warp Speed lead, was told not to use the name Operation Warp Speed anymore.

FWIW my intuition is that any functions, classes, constants, whatever - things that I could write myself if I had to - are “standard library”. “Core language” refers to syntactic or semantic features of the language that would require modifying the compiler or interpreter to introduce.
Looks like you didn't even bother to test your claim.
>The problems of theory-free statistical inference go far beyond hallucinat­ing faces in the snow. Anyone who’s ever taken a basic stats course knows that “correlation isn’t causation.” For example, maybe the reason cops find more crime in Black neighborhoods because they harass Black people more with pretextual stops and searches that give them the basis to unfairly charge them, a process that leads to many unjust guilty pleas because the system is rigged to railroad people into pleading guilty rather than fighting charges. (...)

Being able to calculate that Inputs a, b, c… z add up to Outcome X with a probability of 75% still won’t tell you if arrest data is racist, whether students will get drunk and breathe on each other, or whether a wink is flirtation of grit in someone’s eye.

Except if information about what we consider racist etc. also passes through the same inference engine (feeding it with information on arbitrary additional meta levels).

So, sure, an AI which is just fed crime stats to make inferrences, can never understand beyond that level.

But an AI which if fed crime stats, plus cultural understanding about such data (e.g. which is fed language, like a baby is, and which is then fed cultural values through osmosis - e.g. news stories, recorded discussions with people, etc).

In the end, it could also be through actual socialization: you make the AI into a portable human-like body (the classic sci-fi robot), and have it feed its learning NN by being around people, same as any other person.
Yeah. If you want your code to “just work” on stuff like the BSDs, then C (or an interpreter written in C) is still your best bet.
There is no "current space race" as far as the US is concerned. Americans put a man on the moon fifty years ago, and no one is worried that China or Russia are going to "gain the high ground" and nuke Washington from orbit. No one cares.
That is like saying that the meek shall inherit the earth - or what is left of it when the bold have taken all they wanted. Slow and steady is just that, slow. There is a place for it, e.g. when refining an established practice like mining or internal combustion engines. Commercial space exploration is a place where rapid advances can be made by visionary explorers, only once you can buy an off-the-shelf space minivan for the whole family the time has come for 'slow and steady'.
it's clear that OP meant that there are no major differences in safety between Tunisia and a random western country. Meaning you don't have to worry about getting robbed or whatever more than you would in say, England.

Very slow startup and the compatibility isn't 100%. You don't get the latest Ruby features and every once in a while, code that would work on CRuby doesn't work out of the box. It's kind of a similar situation with PyPy as far as I can tell. It's been around for a long time but not much adoption.
SpaceX is a functioning business that actually launches things into space at a lower cost than competitors.

Basically every successful company has a massive amount of ego behind it but the question is if they actually achieve anything tangible and, eventually, profitable.
I have worked on major construction projects and a complicating factor is the sheer number of different disciplines involved. Teams work with their own systems and maintain their own state and then inexorably get out of sync. In computing this kind of thing is understood at a more fundamental level. You have locks, transactions, branches, merges, continuous integration etc. These same problems exist when designing a major project but are not understood.

Information systems exist but seem to have shocking data models designed by committees. Existing software and experience is then transposed on top of this information system. But the engineers don't have expertise in data and are using software from another age that makes "drawings". Adding a live "as built" component to that is just asking for trouble.

Float glass is pretty flat, but I'm not sure regular glass is temperature-stable enough for the task (and of course, it's fragile). Temperature-stable glass (e.g., Pyrex) usually requires a lengthy annealing stage.

Granite surface plates are pretty popular, though. Maybe glass would be okay for light duty.

Speaking of glass, amateur telescope makers can grind mirrors accurate to within 1/4 wavelength of light, using nothing but abrasive powders and patience, but they start out with a pre-cast and annealed Pyrex blank.
How to level a city:

As a national administrator, assume that was what was happening, and that the entire affair was a ruse to supply covert operatives without leaving a paper trail linking them to any government. Further assume they only left a tiny amount behind not worth executing any safety protocols over beyond a cursury 'inspection' to ensure the shipment hasn't left, when they in fact left 20 percent behind as an insurance policy in case you consider betraying the conspiracy.

Perhaps, but "philosophy of science" has never been something the majority practicing scientists consider relevant, care about, or are influenced by, since forever.

Remarkably well actually. You can do things like ask people questions about the olympics and the sponsor city and then put them into cohorts based on their answers. From that, you can look at how much spending occurred in the target city from each cohort.
All the more reason to cooperate and pool resources instead of duplicating effort.

The discussion is about issues in the bay area. They contribute a huge amount to the tax base there, so saying they don't pay taxes isn't fruitful to this discussion. If those taxes isn't enough to handle issues in the bay area then bay area taxes should be increased, simple as that. And if that makes tech companies leave the area then those tech companies couldn't afford to operate there, and if they can't afford it then nobody can and everyone would have to leave the area.

Edit: The main point is that nobody can say that San Francisco has less money with those tech companies operating there than they would if those tech companies left. They are among the richest places on earth and should easily be afford any measures that can be afforded anywhere.
I don't think it's particularly hard to acquire fertilizer in this region, before or after the blast.

edit: kidding aside, this is approximately what a database view is, at least in some implementations (though probably not as common as the more simple implementation): a view is created as a SQL query that pulls some data. It's stored as is. As data is inserted to the database, the views (a.k.a. queries) that would include that row are updated too.
Indeed. Best watch out for Bezos trying to sabotage SpaceX… or NASA.
It was discovered by others, not them; they fixed the issue only retroactively when it was called out in public. This lack of oversight is part of what I mean with applying things with caution.

And why would they have assumed in the first place that the model _would_ generalize across human races, or any other factor for that matter?

Victims of communist regimes all have terms for Westerners like you who make apologetic arguments in favor of their dictators from the safety of a Liberal democracy.

The role you're playing and your perspective is nothing new in the last century of fascist dictators depriving people of rights under the banner of communism.

And again, you're framing it as an American vs China thing (nukes?). You're a useful tool of the CCP, even adopting their talking points and framing it in the ways they do when they indoctrinate their own citizenry.

Your final argument sounds like a doctor complaining that the patients family won't like hearing the news that insurance won't cover cancer treatments no matter what tone they use. The content you are delivering is in support of cruelty and evil in the world, I'm protesting that you try packaging it in courtesy to disguise that fact.

Everything SpaceX is successfully launching today was similarly delayed during development. It's too early to write off Blue Origin, especially since Bezos just got involved in it full time.

And even then it's flash-in-a-pan stuff for the most part.

No, you still don't understand. It's not dishonesty, it's irrationality.

First you assume that the majority computation power is already colluding. This is not the case.

Let's assume it's the case. As soon as they stop adding all transactions to a block that they would've been expected to, the entire world will notice. In response, the currency will become valueless. That is, it's a public act to abuse your position as a majority power, and the very act of your abuse destroys the thing that you're trying to abuse to your profit.
It's a joke, relax =)

>> If the job that paid the most was part of the problems I was trying to solve by donation (for example) wouldn't that discredit this strategy?

No. They're going to hire someone to do the job, you just need to do incrementally worse than whoever would be your replacement and it's a net positive for your cause. Easy to do in most organizations.

>> How am I really going to vet the donations without being on the team?

How are you going to do that with being on the team? Most places you're a tiny part of an organization. There are plenty of ways to vet charities and other organizations to make sure they are doing what they claim to be doing.
