High density doesn't mean only building housing. You can build housing around a large park that gives children a safe place to play and explore. Shops within walking distance allow them to experience some responsibility running an errand or to buy themselves a treat with pocket money. At least in my opinion urban living with a sensible balance of retail/nature/housing offers children much more independence than they'd get in the suburbs where they rely entirely on their parents to get anywhere.
>if it was paired with a nice, timely audio queue and haptics.

So now you have extra latency between key activation, audio activation and haptic activation. You know what gives you all of those for free and ensures they are always timed correctly?

A physical key.

>I know several people who absolutely loved the butterfly keyboards, and I found them a joy to type on in short bursts. However I, personally, have too heavy of hands/fingers for them and prefer ~80g actuation force so I can completely rest my fingers on the keys without activating them.

Activation force and key travel distance have nothing to do with each other. I'm half tempted to build a strain gauge keyboard with zero travel just so people can pay me to see how bad they are.

The less physical feedback a keyboard gives you the more typos you make using it. Arguing that keyboards which encourage you to make more typos are good is as stupid as saying that camouflaged stop signs are as good as the old fashioned red ones.

This isn't an opinion, this is objectively true.

How? Code is written in English, its documentation in English, the resources in English. Unless we do pure lambda calculus or something like that.

I'm going to be very skeptic here, but this sounds like a power-grabbing move. That is, some people in Wikipedia want to leverage the power they already have even more. I know how strong the idea of "making things right with tech" can be, but sometimes that's not the correct answer, and this is one of those cases.

Reddit and even HN currently I believe do not account for age bias. Upvotes have a cascading effect and posts which happened to get a few votes early tend to out compete all other posts. What I'm suggesting is to have a small quota on the front page purely for experimentation. These experimental posts do not need to compete with other posts for visibility and the outcome from them can be used to calculate interest. Since these experimental posts are only competing with posts within the experimental set, there is fairness with respect to age and viewership.
Thanks!

If you’re in a northern country with a pronounced summer and a winter flu season, I’d wait a bit before celebrating. Europe and Canada celebrated victory in summer 2020 compared to the US. Then it all soured.

Every stats in those countries now celebrating is worse than it was early sept 2020. Deaths, hospitalizations, ICU….all worse. It’s not just cases.

Respiratory viruses get worse in winter. The hope is this one won’t, or that herd immunity is finally reached, despite a higher case load than last year.

True, I agree with you and you have all the rights to revolt. But let's say you have an opinion, instead of revolting I would say you should push it on the world and let the world decision whether they agree with you or not. What Amazon and Google is doing is, they are enforcing their opinion by luring you into their eco system. That's one way to make the world compliant to your opinions.

Just revolting in your own universe doesn't get the job of changing the course of evolution.

It also leaves open the later mandate of removing opt-in. One can easily imagine a large international crisis where truth is relative depending on where you are but where writing about something might be deemed as dangerous and harmful misinformation which has to be erased. Imagine Wikipedia during WW2 for example for conflict.

It's an inverse tower of babel situation - a kind of hubris where the aim of reducing differences leads to a greater evil. The hubris is that clever westerners think its possible to fit everyone into the same way of mind and if that happens then they will touch heaven.
>IME most people default to en.wiki unless they are looking for something very specific that the English language version doesn't cover. It's not surprising en.wiki gets the most attention, it's the one people actually use.

That's a pretty wrong generalization. It depends on the country, whether they speak English well enough and if their national wikipedia is big enough (Scandinavian countries, maybe?). In Russia, for example, almost no one reads the English version. I assume it's the case in France as well. Also I've seen friends of mine from Germany exchange mostly German wiki links between themselves.
Will people use something that is banned though?

Since you're the founder and lead developer of GrapheneOS, your unfounded accusations against other HN users are tarnishing the credibility of the project. There is no justification for any of these attacks (from the links above) that you posted on HN:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28101158

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28101118

(Log in to HN and enable "showdead" in your profile to view them.)

Branding people who disagree with you as "malicious" and "spreading misinformation", and accusing them of being affiliates of other projects, will earn GrapheneOS more opposition than support. I support just about any FOSS project, but I will never endorse the type of hostility that's being shown here.

Please reconsider the way you communicate publicly. HN and other forums are full of potential GrapheneOS users, and toning down the abrasiveness would only serve to improve the adoption of GrapheneOS.
"The Australian Government is planning" is possibly a wee exaggeration. It was one of 88 recommendations from a federal government committee investigating "federal parliament inquiry into family, domestic and sexual violence" [0]

According to the chairman of the committee, the reasoning behind it is https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/57f90da1085b5b8... :

> prevent people from setting up anonymous accounts, and make them liable for defamation suits or even criminal prosecution for menacing messages or harassment.

It's true this could be yet another authoritarian push from a committee chaired by the LNP (oh, what irony: a party founded on the principles of John Stuart Mill championing authoritarianism). However, in the circumstances a mixture political opportunism and gross subject matter incompetence in a cross party committee seems a far more likely explanation.

Considering that training a model costs thousands of dollars, and that people reuse models instead of training from scratch, I somewhat disagree with this in general, for now.

But this specific technique implies the attacker sees the result, which means they can try different models, until one does not produce artifacts.

A few weeks ago, there was a post here about that guy who deepfaked female profile pictures. He showed that the visible artifacts go away by merely scaling up the number of parameters in the model. Give it a few years and these fake images will be impossible to detect unless we agree on some way of cryptographically signing images from real cameras.
Yes, but making a statement with an upward inflection generally indicates you wish for validation of the statement by others.
I would be more open to this point of view, if the "don't be condescending or insulting" expectation applied to both sides equally.

I have yet to see it deployed toward those who try to emasculate guys who were masks, insist on framing choice to do as cowardly fear and so on. Btw, "nanny state" expression is exactly that. Or against those who exaggerate restrictions that exist in order to paint opposite side as super unreasonable. Sometimes in the future, if that applied to people who brag about triggering liberal snowflakes and such.

As of now, to the extend there are sides, the "be nice dont offend" expectation is put on exactly one side, usually in order to make them shut up.

The technical details vary a lot, but the basic idea that data can be meaningfully separated is extremely common belief. Most people - even many people with technical backgrounds - don't have personal experience using powerful modern tools like SQL JOIN. I like DJB's description[1] of the problem:

>> Hashing is magic crypto pixie-dust, which takes personally identifiable information and makes it incomprehensible to the marketing department. When a marketing person looks at random letters and numbers they have no idea what it means. They can't imagine that anybody could possibly understand the information, reverse the hash, correlate the hashes, track them, save them, record them.

In general this isn't an intentional deception. People probably legitimately believe they are protecting data by "anonymizing" (hashing) certain fields. The hashes in the "anonymized" data look impossibly large. The fact that modern computers can simply enumerate all possible hashes in a few minutes[2] is not immediately obvious.

The need for algorithmic transparency will only increase over time. Unfortunately, far too many corporations rely on being able to launder private data as their business model.

Thank you for finally providing which ranking you are using.

Their methodology is briefly described here: https://www.topuniversities.com/qs-world-university-rankings...

So, the proportion of international students and faculty (which account for 20% of the rankings) will massively bias the rankings towards English speaking universities, because more people study abroad in English.

Additionally, the academic & employer surveys are biased by the fact that name recognition is much, much higher for older universities, so it's likely that they will be perceived as being better in the absence of any real differences.

Nonetheless, when people say that Finland has the best education system in the world, they are referring to the OECD data. You're the one trying to use university rankings as a proxy for this, when it should be clear that primary & secondary education are much more important from a population perspective.

Additionally, students in Finnish universities are paid to be there, and may also be provided with housing. That's a much better deal than one would get at Oxford/Cambridge/MIT.
India Plans to Compartmentalise Cryptocurrencies as per Use Cases
Nitpick: I think "Study different" should be "Study differently".

Here's why in case you care. Different is an adjective, which describes a noun. Differently is an adverb, which describes a verb. The sentence "study different" has an implicit subject "you", so it could be written "you study different". This makes it more obvious that "different" is trying to describe the verb "study", not the noun "you".

I've studied Lojban for 2 days in the naive attempt to use it for knowledge base technology but then saw a talk about a poem by Lewis Carol translated to Lojban and dropped that effort because it is human unfriendly.

The choice of using function is at least an improvement over triplet based systems like Lojban and RDF, similar how Wolfram Alfa uses glorified s-expressions to have a heterogeneous language for data and computations.

That said I really think the final point of the article is the most important, Wikipedia lacks a user friendly way of editing and should really have a WYSIWYG editor to appeal to a wider audience of contributors. From talking to engineers at Wikipedia I understand this has in part to do with wikiscript and all the extensions used result in a language that is context dependent and can't be parsed but must be executed while parsing, sort of like human language. Haha. Anyway I think the situation is lame and they should use their 100 million endowment to build a web editor. If you like contact me I've used prose-mirror.
Models come in a broad spectrum and while it's true that gpt-3 costs a ton, many do not. Any mobile ready snapchat esque real time deep fake filter will typically be super fast and cheap to train (since the model has to be lightweight to run on a phone). There's also transfer learning from an expensive model which could easily be modified to remove whatever 'architecture flagging' is built into the structure.
Interesting read and topic. Seems like the primary driver is utilising all the effort put into the English wiki for other languages and also avoiding potentially redundant extra work.

I appreciate the prose that Wikipedia tends to have and hopefully their more structured approach to 'facts' doesn't change that.

I've used wiki(pedia|data) datasets, the former for article summaries and latter for knowledge panel facts. Seemed like they've tinkered with something called 'templates' in the past, where things like population wouldn't be in the markup, but reference another page/key where the data actually is (see enwiki for Greece if interested). Was a bit of a pain writing a parser for it especially when these things change so often and as it turns out the population has reverted back to being plaintext in the article.

Would call myself a Layman, though my humble suggestion would be that statements could potentially be tagged with wikidataids of the things/events that are mentioned in them. Potentially that could make updates easier and wikidata has translations of entities that are much less subject to literary license. Potentially this could make it easier to translate to other languages. Definitely seems like a large rabbit hole to get into, as you could then go onto have simple language rules like is|was when someone is no longer alive, do-able if the wikidata entity is tagged to the statement.

Interesting stuff to think about nonetheless, and noting other comments that some 'facts' are subject to interpretation.

the vaccine procurement corruption is a high level decision made by only a few people doing the deals. The lockdown is medical advice which is not made by a few individuals but by knowledge gained in the past.

The federal gov't almost didn't want to have lockdown in the first wave, and fortunately it was the state gov't doing it (by medical advice) that pushed it over.

The fact that you somehow confuse it together into one lump, and attribute it to a singular government entity decision, either means you did not really do any research or look into it. Or you are maliciously spreading FUD to cause distrust in existing institutions.
Nothing you can say. We feel how we feel. Covid is endemic it continues to mutate and evolve, we are all going to get it. Your health is and always has been your best defense. And smiling in public is not a biohazard.

> I have never been accused of “sexism” despite the “risk” of working with women and men including giving advice to all genders.

Glad to hear it :). It's nice to know that things aren't that bad after all.

> Maybe you should think about the “advice” you give and why you are so worried about getting “cancelled”.

Fair enough. The advice given to the OP was "when closing sentences in presentations, you finish the sentence in a way that sounds like you're asking a question. Something to pay attention to going forward". [1]

The boss than later provided feedback when she improved that in her presentations by saying "you did great. I didn't hear you going up an octave at the end of your statements, came across as much more authoritative, it's super refreshing to provide feedback and then see you attempt to act upon it."

In general, I don't really see that as sexist at all. However, the person getting that advice said "This #tonepolicing is totally okay feedback to get from my #bigtech #male leaders and not #sexist".

At this point, considering that anything seems to be able to be taken as "sexist". Maybe it's better to keep your mouth shut when giving feedback to females. Again, Why risk your entire career for one person? That's my logic at least. I hope that doesn't mean I am sexist.
