Between your link and mine, it shows that Greenland loses ~279 gigatons / year to calving and warm water contact. But so far this year, alone, according to the DMI it has gained ~400 gigatons in snow and ice(even after factoring for daily melt offs on the surface). And we're not even done with the year yet. That's a net gain.

I got a pretty good score too (31/40, better than 81.9%). Though admittedly, while I have not studied university level social psychology I have read Dan Ariely's book Predictably Irrational [1], which covered many of the experiments presented in the quiz. It's an interesting and entertaining book, but it was a bit formulaic for my tastes, as every chapter tends to follow exactly the same structure. The experiments are presented well and are probably the best part of the book.

Apparently you can only have one bad thing happen to you otherwise anonymous people online will attack your character and call you crazy.
>It's an artifact of wishful thinking. People will go to great lengths to avoid thinking about the fact that some people are better than others; it's the biggest "inconvenient truth" of our culture.

I'm not sure if the whole book smart / street smart thing is a good example of what you're saying. Wouldn't that just be an example of people becoming well adapted to their environment (or in fact manipulating their environment)?
Now I wonder if Covid turned everybody into natural social psychologists.
They are in fact private names, because they're unknown to the public. This is in fact an authentication system.

Yes, the public could guess a 128-bit random value and log in - but that's no different from the ability of the public to guess your password, or your session cookie, or your SSL session state, or whatever. Every authentication mechanism is based on "There is a high-entropy value, and nobody but the authorized user has it." It makes no difference from a theoretical standpoint - i.e., in terms of whether it's "actually" an authentication system" - whether the high-entropy value is sent to the server as part of the URL or via a header or via POST data.

(It clearly makes a difference from a practical standpoint, because in order to have a secret link, the link must actually be kept secret. But that's no different from, like, the need to not expose your cookies to third-party requests or whatever.)

"This has absolutely nothing to do with ML or data fitting or anything. It's a deterministic, classical algorithm." --- that's why I wouldn't use it as an example to analyse the question under discussion. If we disregard the name of the algorithm, it's just a non-commutative function: there are lots of those in CS and data analysis (e.g., KL divergence), and people have more or less learned how to deal with them.

Generally, I do not agree with the author in what they call "bias". Sometimes algorithms are too noisy for particular data subsets; quite often they are over-confident in their predictions, thus exacerbating the differences between small and large sub-populations. These are all _technical_ issues that surely need to be taken into account when making decisions based on systems' outputs and when designing new systems, but the general idea of the ethical AI literature seems to be to recast these technical issues as ethical issues and to ask AI people to strive to eliminate those altogether. I think that this is misguided and very unlikely to work.

I urge anyone touched by this to learn about the prison abolition movement. My favorite thinker on the matter is Angela Davis. She was wrongly imprisoned for over a year in the 1971-1972 which called attention to political prisoners the world over. After a global call for her release she was acquitted of the charges and released. She became a college professor and a prolific author, and is still today a highly respected representative of the prison abolition movement.

We do not need to treat human beings this way, and every day that goes on is yet another tragedy. Prison abolition is not widely understood, and Angela Davis's work is a great way to learn more about it.

There is a remarkable hour long interview of her from 1970 while she was imprisoned which you can watch on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrSIm2RXN4o&list=PLP0dfLFk-a...

Here is a nice looking hour long lecture that was recorded more recently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q25-KJ55k_0

To learn more about Angela Davis read this bio:

https://womenshistory.si.edu/news/2020/06/angela-daviss-impr...

Or read one of her books on the matter. But if you aren't familiar or prison abolition seems weird, click one of these links and learn a little more. No person should ever endure what prisoners in the US face on a daily basis.
This is only true under the assumption that you can analyse the video and extract the movement/features as quickly as you can stream video to the network. Given how optimised streaming of live video is and how hard video analysis can be, it's not at all a given.
There's a specific programming language where JetBrains hasn't gained much against the OSS alternatives, and that's Rust. Mainly because they decided to implement their own language analysis instead of adding support for the most wide-used one (rust-analyzer).

And it still lacks the ability to run remote containers a-la VSCode, where you can leverage all dependencies to the container itself.
$10k Invested in Defense Stocks When Afghanistan War Began Now Worth Almost$100k
Also scored 36, 99.5%

After finishing I couldn’t believe it. I thought maybe it was part of a larger experiment telling you what you want to hear. So I took the test again answering randomly and got a horrible score and 20th percentile. (ie it’s a real score)

So much of this seems so incredibly obvious to me! I mean I guess it make sense when you think about it. If it was obvious to most people, then most people would make better (less selfish, less bias) decisions which we see they don’t do.

Some that particularly struck me were the ones about group think. Like passing someone in the gutter, in-group validation, group enhancement of extremism etc. I always have an almost knee jerk reaction to go against the group in lots of situations (if there’s a large group of people walking in a certain direction; I’ll assume they’re all lost and make my own way for instance)

Explains a lot! Thanks for the link.

And here’s a fun experiment. If I call out how much of downvoting and upvoting on sites like here on HN are about group think, other biases, rather than based on the individual comment, I bet it’ll get downvoted (because of those same reasons)!
I believe this is how they fetch images without meaningfully accessing tracking pixels.

Here's a thought experiment: suppose service animals did not exist. In this hypothetical world, do you suppose that users of ESAs would be able to successfully campaign for exemptions and rules for their animals that parallel the exemptions given to service animals?

I think that is highly unlikely. Service animals opened the door. And all ESAs had to do was pry it a little bit more. The propagation of ESAs rides on the average person's ignorance about the distinction between the two and a reluctance to inquire about an animal's status out of fear of prying, accusations of hostility, and simple shyness.

I know some people criticize the slippery-slope fallacy (their words) but it's a real thing. And once you let someone have an exemption, suddenly you realize there are sound arguments for just expanding the rules a little bit more.

No one wants to be the person telling someone 'No, you're not disabled'. It's uncomfortable, and seems harsh and unsympathetic.

The problem with these accommodations is that they aren't just a remedy for a disability, but are actually advantages. Giving students unlimited time on an exam incentivizes people to exaggerate symptoms.

So why don't we have this issue with ramps, door openers, and wide bathroom stalls? Well, the reason is that they are available to everyone--no one cares if you walk up the ramp or open the door with the button. They are required per the disability regulations, but in effect offered to everyone. And most people decline to use them because the don't give them an advantage.

The solution is simple--if someone requires it, them give it to everyone. If some people require unlimited time on the exam, then get rid of timed exams. If someone can bring a dog on the airplane, then anyone can.

Isn't any API a "server protocol"?

There are client libraries like (https://github.com/linagora/jmap-client-ts) which allow you to perform all mailbox actions. I'm trying to understand what I can do better as a client - does emailengine enable something that JMAP API will not? You called out webhook as one.
I may be being very naive here, so it would be great for someone to point out where I'm missing a trick, but if they make $2 billion in revenue and keep 20% of that, why don't they found or buy a small bank? I mean granted it's not their core business area, but it's a huge risk factor for them, so an acquisition doesn't seem out of the question to mitigate that risk...

According to here[0], banks need approx $20 million in startup capital. Now I don't know what onlyfan's costs are, but they seem to be sitting on a lot more than that or alternatively they could get financing.

Is there a reason this isn't a direction they've explored? The fact that they've not swapped to a more expensive payment provider implies that it's not a good option, but that may be a simpler solution, or they could provide a competitive option in this space?

WinForms was definitely very fun to code with when I used it around 10 years ago. MFC on the other hand was a real pain. Some strange thing came afterwards which I never understood why, but then I already moved into Backend/HTML/JS.

Is WinForms really something that is outdated? Or is this new thing one just their attempt at unifying OS and Mobile UIs? I think Windows 10 uses this new framework and I absolutely dislike what I see, specially the entire new configuration system Windows has, compared to Windows 7.

I’ll counter that and say once you realize there’s very little rationality behind emotions, you don’t take the fight on. Humans are emotional first.

Again, anecdotal, the few that somewhat understand it are the ones that have been driven by emotion for long periods of time and have seen how out of control they are (not saying they are off doing crazy things).

I’ll give a small example from work. There’s a business analyst who fucked up our product, but is very good friends with most of the team. Emotionally, the team take offense when he/she is called out. In fact, we have difficulty unraveling or changing the direction of some his/her decisions because they are protected.

What do you do here? The group is wrong, but right, but wrong.

I’m just bringing up simple work friends here. I haven’t even ventured into love, hate, childhood friends, family, parents, partners, religion, culture, children, identity, politics, money, dignity, pride, indignation, vengeance, retribution, redemption, all things Shakespearean.

You cannot fight so many of these things, and literally need to wait it out until everyone in the room realizes and are ready to compromise.

In short, some of these things are forgone conclusions, and it is depressing. That it often takes lifetime until everyone in the room gets it, and the only solace is at the end, where we take the little victory that at least everyone now understands. But, nothing got done as we all waited for everyone to go through the (e)motions.
You have cars (which are basically a box on wheels) smashing in clearly visible objects, and you expect a fully functional walking and handling humanoid robot to fold your laundry or even carry a box from one floor to another. I don't think any of us will still be alive when that will happen.
Linux 20 years ago wasn’t what it is today. Low latency audio for example, that was something that BeOS in the late 90s could do out of the box, a similar experience on Linux required special kernel patches and some compromises or it simply wasn’t there at all.

Audio latencies of less than 10ms on consumer hardware were otherwise unheard of. Windows, out of the box, was still operating in the 100+ms range.

Galileo was ordered to abandon heliocentrism by the Pope. Ultimately he was sentenced to prison for his views (commuted to house arrest).

Yeah, completely agreed.

I actually like the strategy outlined in the OP (Absorb and Split). When this has happened, it's always lead to a much better outcome than when you start splitting and creating teams prematurely.

The majority of obese people have other health problems. But, not all. For many, another health problem caused the obesity; they would happily give up both, but do not get the choice. For some, eating little enough to actually lose weight would make them sick.

It is overwhelmingly worse to have metabolic disorder without obesity than to have obesity without metabolic disorder. Many, many non-obese Americans have metabolic disorder. A smaller number are obese without metabolic disorder.

It doesn't matter if this isn't happening in any useful form in a reasonable amount of time. It's still great for hiring and funding.

He has used the same hiring technique since x.com:

1) announce overambitious, relatable, unoriginal goal (e.g. human settlement on Mars)

2) present vague, relatable, unoriginal strategy (e.g. reusable rockets)

3) hire people

4) actually have them work on more incremental stuff (e.g. launch provider services)

5) profit
All upcoming UI frameworks by MS are still hung up on XAML. I get that their existing userbase is heavily invested in XAML, but in my experience XAML doesn't add much value, just unnecessarily layer of complexity, that lacks expressiveness of a programming language and makes interoperability between UI and code more convoluted.

There is some "experimental" support for code based UI composition in MAUI, but since XAML is it's primary focus, XAML probably leads design decisions.
I got some molten sugar on my hand once. For how innocuous "hot honey" sounds, making this stuff really would be pretty white knuckle for me (ha ha).

It sticks to you. It stays hot enough to burn you, while burning you, for an unintuitively long time. I've burned myself blacksmithing a few times and accidentally brushed red metal with a finger.

None of those burns have ever came close to the brilliant white hot, long lasting agony of molten sugar.
I agree, and disagree. You are smart, just not at every moment. Same as me.

Makes me wonder how much the payment networks themselves can ultimately make the final call. Even if you find some high risk payment processor in Monaco, that won’t help much if the Amex/MasterCard/Visa cartel blacklists you.

What I don’t understand is the selective enforcement – why doesn’t this happen more often? Who is pressuring the payment networks?
And thats why payment processors should be a public utility
Agreed. It's ridiculous that .NET still doesn't have XPath 2 support after so many years. I really wish they'd hire a PM with enterprise experience, as they seem heavily focused on public facing web technologies e.g. the new native JSON serializer has all kinds of weird limitations based on 'security risks' that don't actually exist outside of public facing websites.
IIRC, when the Arctic stays cold, there’s more sea ice, which reflects more sunlight than open water, reducing total/overall temperatures.

ETA:

The sea is dark; the ice is white. That makes a big difference when it comes to reflecting sunlight. The dark sea absorbs heat while the ice reflects a much larger proportion of the sun’s energy (the “Albedo-effect”). So a smaller sea ice extent means more open, dark water, which results in more absorption of the sun’s energy in the seawater, and thus more warming of the seawater.

The warmer seawater raises the temperature of the air above, which means that ice formation will take place later in the year. And next year, when melting sets in, there is less ice and melting may happen faster, which means that the sea is open to absorb even more energy from the sun. And so on.

Scientists call it a positive feedback that enhances the changes even further. And this specific feedback has been documented in the Arctic. To what degree this will have effects outside the Arctic is still an open question.

The diminishing sea ice also has the potential to change global ocean circulation. In the Arctic Ocean, especially east of Greenland, a process takes place that is considered to be crucial for the circulation of the oceans. As the waters flowing north to this area cool, sea ice forms; leaving the water below the ice much saltier and denser. This heavier water sinks to the bottom and flows south along the deep plains of the Atlantic Ocean.

The force of this, in combination with similar processes in Antarctica, is so tremendous that these mechanisms actually fuel global ocean circulation. The cold water follows the bottom of the Atlantic, resurfaces, for instance, in the Indian Ocean and returns as a warm ocean surface current in the Atlantic Ocean, commonly known as “The Gulf Stream”. The system is often referred to as “The Great Conveyor Belt”.

To what extent “The Great Conveyor Belt” will be affected by the diminishing Arctic sea ice is still an open question.

"Poorly suited" is the heart of the issue.

Nothing here is morally biased: neither the algorithm or the data. But when people say the "data is biased" they are suggesting that this is where the moral bias enters.

Not at all. The moral bias IS entering at the level of the algorithm. In this sense the algorithm is morally baised.

Of course it is really the human operator who selects this algorithm which causes the issue -- but by saying "the data is biased" we are obscuring this reality.

Just watched the movie on your website: Don’t you have too many use cases? I can sense that maybe not everybody wants to fumble on their earrings with for example dirty hands while cooking or ordering an uber by speaking to their ear…

Hmm, perhaps it's that no new engines will emerge, rather than no new browsers. I have to say that I'm not entirely sure exactly where the line gets drawn.

In their FAQ they say:

So maybe the point is that no new engines will be built.

I would love to see a BeOS/Haiku userland on top, of the Linux Kernel. That would bring wide hardware support, including HW accelerated 3D (something BeOS was always lacking). It is not going to happen though, the attempts that were didn’t go far and porting the entirety of Haiku would be a gigantic effort that no one is volunteering for.
Exactly. These are social and political problems. They won't be solved by expanding. On the contrary, expanding makes them worse.

5 million pounds can ensure a comfortable life everywhere in the world today and was likely worth much more in the past.

Assuming said socialite was not in a committed relationship, why would they not take that money for what must be 30m of effort which may actually be pleasant?

5 pounds on the other hand is not only a small amount of money, but it’s also insulting to ask somebody that’s not a prostitute to sleep with one for such a pittance.

Fictional Churchill was acting like an asshole and the fictional socialite was acting rationally. She only should have replied instead “X million pounds is the best I can offer, but I should certainly hope you are good in bed Mr. Churchill”.
This. The sanctimoniousness of this post is pretty grating - you don’t get the good parts of emergent behavior without letting people mess around and explore the space in some weird ways you may not like.

Also agreed re: the nsfw part. I think someone could probably make a subscription service out of something like VQGAN + a properly tagged corpus of porn (thisporndoesnotexist.com?) that would fill a weird niche of letting people describe exactly what they want to see, though there is a huge “uncanny valley” problem where you could accidentally make some pretty horrifying images lol.
