> The goal was never to "win". It was to build up an army (the afghan army) that could eventually stand by itself and defend the government in place.

And we've done just that.

We're just not willing to admit that at the 11th hour we threw up our hands, said fuck it and decided that army would be the Taliban.

We literally handed them a country and all the shit they need to not be somebody's puppet.

If we had accepted that we'd just be turning over the country to the same old bunch of hard line jerks 10yr ago we could have better prepped for this moment but leaving the place on unstable footing is simply the price of deluding ourselves. I hope for everyone's sake it doesn't turn into a war torn shithole again.
> You can never convince someone by calling them stupid, selfish, irresponsible or in general blaming them. All you will do is create hatred toward yourself as well as your viewpoint and further the disagreement.

Who's calling them stupid? I don't recall any politicians or government health officials calling anyone stupid. Sure, there are people on Facebook/Twitter/etc... name-calling, but that's always been the case, and there's plenty of it on both sides.

Your reply is a perfect illustration of what I was talking about in my original comment. I couldn't have come up with a better example even if I tried.

You conjured up a greatly simplified version of what I said, threw away all the context that actually matters, and built it into something that's easy to rally against for someone who is "on your team".

It doesn't seem to be a union. I think the term "organizing" is more of a general sense - employees are organizing to speak up collectively against the employer's behavior.

They seem to have the goal of collective bargaining for change, but it doesn't seem to be "unionizing"

On the other hand there are still duplicates. I queried Wikidata once and every date result was duplicated because they existed in a slightly different format (7-7-2000 vs 07-07-2000; both were declared as xsd:date). Very "semantic" and powerful data model indeed. In fact the technology should be renamed stringly typed web, because this is what it really is.

I'm all for Wikidata, it's great in some ‘high-profile’ cases like data on countries—at least by my moderate standards. I didn't have much problem with Sparql, or perhaps my queries were simple. However, once you get into the lowbrow territory of e.g. modern cultural artifacts, people just edit Wikipedia way more, end of story. Want to know what games of some genre were made for platforms of your choice, sorted by year? You go to Wikipedia, not Wikidata.

I'm told that there's a project to integrate infoboxes with Wikidata, so that their info goes into Wikidata when edited (not the other way around)—which would solve a large part of this scarcity, if the integration is seamless enough. Haven't yet seen it in action. Here's the project, Wikidata Bridge: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge

I think what's more likely is we'd discover how many common, useful tasks you could perform with a humanoid robot that don't require AGI, with a more Alexa-like approach of iteratively adding support for explicit discrete tasks over time. We've already moved back the goalposts for AGI in so many other areas as we realise how many tasks can be decomposed to something quite mechanical in the right vector space etc.
I was thinking "Strep...no, probably RSV, strep doesn't cause pneumonia or infect 1-year-olds" when I read your post.

People don't really understand exponential growth or probabilities. If you were sick with a respiratory virus in Jan 2020, it was almost certainly cold, flu, or RSV. If you were sick with a respiratory virus in Jan 2021, it was almost certainly either a cold or COVID. COVID was doubling roughly every 5 days from a zoonosis in late October 2019, so by Jan 2020 we'd expect about 2^12 = 4096 cases worldwide = 1 in a million odds. But it spreads more readily than flu and RSV, so the countermeasures we put in place to stop COVID basically completed halted flu/RSV transmission over 2020.

Sure, but that could just as easily describe Carmack's current efforts in AGI (and I seem to recall that he even tweeted something to that effect himself, though I can't find it now). Him achieving AGI as a solo researcher seems less likely than him making some big technical contributions to SpaceX, or Tesla AI.

If you care about it, then obviously go to town on optimization, use an FPGA, whatever. But I notice you said 'CPU', which means there is a performance/cost tradeoff even in your field. Otherwise wouldn't you be using specialized hardware?

It's okay. It started on ICQ and it's continued on every major Internet-connected social network that has ever existed. Exhaustion appears to have set in somewhat, but I'm still comforted to hear that you're studying the problem.

There's certainly no support for "I don't wish to be contacted by people who are confirmed abusers" (which requires some sort of centralization and human review), because neither voting nor web of trust on their own will address the problems of sock puppets online versus real human beings, cooperative manipulation by groups of abusers, and how to select among all possible codes of conducts for one that defines and demonstrates acceptable (to me) decisions about what is abusive behavior.

You are confusing the fiction of the fisc (a finite purse for government spending which must ve filled by raising revenue or issuing debt to enable spending) in a fiat-money economy with the reality of underlying production. The mechanism by which government accounts for its direction of the use of some portion of productive capacity, and particularly the choice of one or another game to simulate the operation of pre-fiat-money government financing (where the fisc was a real thing, if even then not the whole of the ability of the government to direct the use of productive capacity), does not alter the effect the use of resources has on productive capacity. It may affect the artificial future constraints on the government so long as it chooses to play the same (or any) game to maintain the fiction of the fisc, but that's not a real constraint even on the government, much less the actual productive capacity of the economy.
I think you might underestimate the higher end bike market.

Parts are often higher priced than what lots of people pay for complete bikes (e.g. a set of disc brakes 400$, a MTB fork 1000$, a groupset 1000$, a wheelset 800$, a dropper post 300$, etc). And the associated repairs like a brake bleed, a shock service or a wheel rebuild might take time and will have a high cost too.

You don't have to look into ebikes. On Mountainbikes that are used as intended parts break often enough to keep mechanics busy.

Ebikes might however indeed bring the higher priced bikes to a higher amount of people.

You can’t duplicate hardware MFA keys. You’d have to individually set up the second device everywhere you use MFA, and many services only support a single device (looking at you, AWS).
Personally I'm unconvinced by the danger posed by handheld lasers to an aircraft. A group of people all pointing high-powered ones into the eyes of a pilot as it's landing, yes that's dangerous. But a single person, it'd be pretty difficult to keep it on target long enough to have real effect. Most of the time I'd say it's just kids pointing up into the sky and maybe hitting the underside of a plane for a split-second, it's not the end of the world. Lets not act like they're shooting heat-seeking missiles.

Yes, it's not the right thing to do and shouldn't be happening, but let's not blow the risk out of all proportion. Of course I do understand why such behavior needs to be illegal, because otherwise whole neighborhoods could band together to distract pilots and bring down aircraft. But by the same token we don't need to send in the SWAT team for a teenager with a laser pointer.

Cue all the keyboard warrior pilots telling me how a 747 will instantly fall out of the sky if touched for a millisecond by a handheld AA-powered laser.

I’m pretty sure the implication is that since template instances are made specific at compile time and are done so in a way that is very analogous to AST based macro expansion. Specifically, C++ templates are a programming language which runs during the compilation of C++ code that acts by producing valid C++ AST components.

There's evidently a lot of ticks near Harvard.

I know there's thousands where I live in Louisiana, as well. "Developed" doesn't matter, just a place where squirrels or whatever are is enough to have ticks too.

I've never had a tick attach to me, but I have squished them climbing up my pants after coming inside, and obviously dogs collect them like pokemon.

Where I'm at, anyone who likes to inhabit the outdoors. All the woods, riverbanks, hiking trails are thick with them. Any kind of natural space with tall grass or trees.

In the tick seasons, I have ticks on me a few times per week. I usually feel them before they bite, though.

That's absolutely not what anyone was implying. And at best is a distinction without a difference.

They were responding to being asked if they would take a vaccine developed/released under the Trump administration.

Not: "What's wrong with how this administrator is handling the vaccine?"

Or, "Do you have a problem with how it's going to distributed?" Which didn't significantly change from one administration to the next, and is an impressive logistical feat in it's own right.

Even if, the same logic stands. Sowing distrust in distribution -or any other aspect- is either implicit distrust in the product or distrust in the government pushing it.

What good is expressing distrust in any part of it, except to discourage people from trusting the quality/safety/efficacy of the product itself?
> WHO > That stopped the US from doing any sort of checks

Rubbish. Since when does the US listen to overseas authorities - only when you can use them as an excuse.

Taiwan instigated their procedures to start lockdown on people from China on December 31st, 2019.

The US has their own sources of information, and chose to ignore them, and the US has been burdened by the consequences of the poor decision making of your authorities.

I have always avoided bug spray because I was convinced it would give me some kind of immunity. It kind of worked in that mosquito bites barely itch anymore, but after reading this it doesn’t seem like such a good idea anymore.
I presume you do not have pets then?

Quite many people, especially one's who have dogs regularly get outside the city and interact with forests one way or another.

That being said, it is possible to get bitten by a tick even in a city, pretty much anywhere in Europe, no idea how it is in US.

I want to introduce F# to my workplace. I have the authority to do it but lack the experience to back it up. I don't want to cost the company mega dollars down the road so I don't want to make a bad call. But to me F# leads to a more reliable solution. It's like programming with training wheels. You can setup the types to make it very hard for programming mistakes to slip in. Of course you can also have a style that lets about anything fly. With the right approach I feel more confident that my solutions will by robust and less buggy when using F#.

I 100% agree that namespaces, urls and numeric Q ids add significantly to how complex wikidata sparql queries are, and generally make them incomprehensible. The editor at https://query.wikidata.org does have helpful tooltips though.

But honestly i think people would have a lot easier time if we had less indirection and just wrote "mother" instead of wdt:P25

What i actually do, is take the number, if it starts with a q go to wikidata.org/wiki/Q123 . If it starts with P go to https://wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P25

What it actually means in a technical sense:

Identifiers in sparql are urls (sort of similar to integer id fields in sql). wdt: is short for http://wikidata.org/prop/direct so wdt:P25 is http://wikidata.org/prop/direct/P25 wdt: means basically normalized but there are other prefixes if you need to access deprectated statements or modifiers on properties.

>Amid COVID-19 pandemic, flu has disappeared in the US

NEW YORK (AP) — February is usually the peak of flu season, with doctors’ offices and hospitals packed with suffering patients. But not this year.

Nationally, “this is the lowest flu season we’ve had on record,” according to a surveillance system that is about 25 years old, said Lynnette Brammer of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Probably, because several factors have conflated and reinforce each other:

1) Historically, everything on the web used to be "free" and this is still an implicit assumption for internet users.

2) Payments are not part of the HTTP protocol; micropayments never materialized

3) The web is too good for advertisers - targeting, reach, scalability are unmatched compared to off-line advertisement. This supports p.1 above and hinders p.2.

It's a vicious circle.
When I lived in LA I always felt like the variety argument was kind of nonsensical. It's not like the typical LA neighborhood has great reprsentation of a lot of different ethnic foods. The best korean is in korea twon, the best chinese in the SGV, etc... but day to day it doesn't matter that "LA" has it because theres nowhere you can live where you are even an hour drive to most of it.

Most peoples actual LA experience is that they stay mostly confined to one little part of LA because they have a two hour commute during the week. They never get to really dig into that food scene because it's just to big a hassle to be a part of it.

Hot take: I don't think the best food in southern california is even in Los Angeles it's in Baja Mexico to the south.
Hold on. That's much more nuanced than what was originally being implied. (not from the US btw...)
