>Just because you're very convinced doesn't mean you can easily convince others, your attempt might even be hijacked by populists that are more than keen to capitalise on people's fear of change.

It's a fight for what is important. There's no other way.

> Not everyone wants to be an activist, and you have billions of others to convince.

You don't need to strike in front of the white house anymore. There are different ways to participate - like creating a video blog with a big team behind each video: infographics, analysis, video editing, motion graphics, news about climate disasters, explaining why all those researches are important and what those numbers mean, translate and voice in different languages. Tiktok, Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, HackeRank.

But, as it was said in another comment, it's easier to "press the eco button on your solar powered dishwasher".

> Maybe you can convince USA to clean up, what about China, India, and Russia?

Corporations are influenced by money and money only. You increase the taxes in developed countries on "bad products"(or stop the import completely on nonessential things) - you get the result. All the buyers of China, India and Russia are in developed countries, one way or another. But there is a price to pay - poor people in developed countries will become even more poor, although, this effect also can be downplayed by fighting for the rights of workers.

>I wonder why TSMC agreed in the first place.

Right now we dont have confirmation as what and when and volume of TSMC usage. Intel is making GPU on TSMC makes lots of sense. After all their GPU team are vastly more familiar with TSMC ecosystem.

Other than that most of it are just rumours.
The “physical side” was probably more important when Turing first came up with the idea, and people struggled to conceive of computers because none had yet been built. Nowadays it is arguably less necessary because they are an essential part of everyday life, and most people learn some programming before learning theoretical computer science.
Absolutely. My comment is only about whether or not the second period is logically redundant.
Lennart Poettering has entered the chat to tell you this isn't a problem.
It seems that you aren't familiar with the meaning of words that you are using. Workers councils are made up of delegates that are voted on by the workers i.e. they are a representative democracy.
Pascal is fully self-consistent here: in it, semicolon is a statement separator, not a statement terminator. Since the statement before "end" is the last one in the block, there's no statement to separate it from with a trailing semicolon, and so it's a syntax error.
You are of course right and I edited my comment accordingly.

I too have a relative who regrets taking a vaccine, as she's been having suspicious long term symptoms until now - she took the vaccine in Spring. Nothing in the 43k Pfizer study would indicate that such symptoms could appear, and maybe it is a coincidence that those symptoms started appearing after the vaccine. And of course it is anecdotal, but still it makes me vary at least about the Pfizer study. Symptoms seem to be related to blood flow issues in the legs, and getting this tingling sensation. Since it has happened to a relative I trust and who's otherwise pro vax, I'm slightly inclined to also believe other anecdotal stories, but obviously I can't use that as an evidence.
you mean the vaccine that isn't universally available for free to all americans?

why would you bother making such a silly comparison?

It's nonsense. The article is just woke-poisoned. You trained the ML system on some stuff, and it learned to discern some stuff that humans generally can't. That's not surprising, and it's not racism. If you want to ignore something that the ML system discerned, go ahead, but you'd be ignoring information that is apparently there in e.g. the skeletal system. ML can probably be trained to sex snakes from pictures, or whatever. Is that supposed to be a bad thing too?

I expect medical tourism in countries that aren't woke to absolutely explode, because they're thinking about how to produce the best outcome for their patients rather than worrying endlessly about delusional "racism".

I'm not going to comment on the actual content that is mostly [1] scientifically correct, but Schmidhuber (the author) has a record of wanting to be the center of attention [2] (even though LeCun is not better on that matter). Also, a third of the sources are written by him...

Just look at his previous blog post [3], in which he explains that the most cited neural networks all cite works by him. These papers cite dozens of papers, so a lot of other groups that are active in AI can claim the same thing...

[1]: For example, Turing published an independent proof of the Entscheidungsproblem, in the [TUR] article, just a month after Church, that the article forgets to highlight.

I agree with this, though personally I'd distinguish between Scrum (continuously sprinting, people mindlessly trying to grab as many story points as possible to impress their boss, getting in trouble if a story overruns a sprint or takes longer than the estimate), and Kanban, which to me seems less stressful and more realistic and what the author was getting at.. IMHO at least..
Reading a great book-- 4000 weeks by Oliver Burkeman.

He makes the great point that no matter how productive we get, we will never feel satisfied, as there will always be more to do.

Instead, we need to start focusing on things that actually matter.

The title 4000 weeks is the average lifespan of a human-- and Oliver make the point we get stuck in the race to be more productive, and forget to enjoy life, which is usually the reason we start the productivity race in the first place.
Context switches on Linux are a pretty heavy affair, this is the result of some choices in the distant past when the number of context switches per second was much higher than on most other platforms and so it was deemed to be 'good enough'. Unfortunately this rules out a lot of real time or near real time work, especially when the workload is divided over multiple user space processes.
I don't claim to have any expertise in this matter. I suppose it's quite possible that the common understanding of "PUFA good, SFA bad" is flawed somehow. I'm not sure I agree with your arguments, though.

> they're all heavily processed in refineries using noxious chemicals

While processing might matter, it's hard to tell just from that if it does. Admonishing processing with "noxious chemicals" sound a lot like suggesting that something is healthier because it's natural.

> they have low smoke points, and get rancid easily

I can see these as detriments or even show-stoppers for some uses, but I fail to see how these are important if you don't overheat the oil or let it go rancid. I see these more as issues of incorrect use. In some sense they are of course downsides of the product since some other fats might have better properties in terms of ease of use (harder to overheat), but I don't think it follows that they're unhealthy by themselves. They could be, but that doesn't follow from a low smoke point.

As for omega-6 fatty acids, I've understood there to be some evidence that they're not healthy in large amounts, so there might be some truth to (at least some) polyunsaturated fats not being as healthy as they're made out to be. I still don't really see enough here to get behind the statement that polyunsaturated fats will be seen as grossly unhealthy in the future.

I might be wrong -- again, I have no expertise here -- but I just don't see it in the arguments.

That's an indication that Microsoft is bad at handling security issues. Which isn't news and has very little to do with open source.

A typical medieval depiction of a great siege might be one king and two or three famous knights with a ladder assaulting a 5 foot castle manned by another king and a knight. Distilling stories to a handful of characters seems to make it easier for us to digest. I suppose it's easier for us to imagine ourselves as one of these people.
> One of the primary problems with this culture, and the general culture of quantified self/everything, is that the data doesn’t inform or change actual actions.

It depends on how you use the collected data. I think it is psychologically similar to investing in stock market or cryptocurrencies: Some people keep refreshing the screen every minute and get crazy about microscopic increases or decreases of the stuff they own, read all the clickbait with related keywords, and after a few weeks they burn out. Other people invest some money, then forget about the whole thing for a few months, then spend one afternoon looking at the numbers and making small adjustments, then again forget about the whole thing for a few months.

Just because you collect a lot of data about yourself (as the quantified-self people like to do), doesn't mean you need to review it every day. You could simply spend the minimum effort to collect the data, and then summarize it and draw conclusions once a year. I know people who collect various body statistics every day, and they just upload the logs to their computer, and later write a script that generates graphs over longer periods of time. And their conclusions are like: "hey, I made this lifestyle change a few months ago, and here my health data have improved significantly, so it was the right move"; where the health data is something like a weekly average of blood pressure.

Collecting million trivial details does not necessarily prevent you from seeing the big picture. Though I guess for some personality types, the temptation to obsess over the details is irresistible. It is not enough that the big picture is okay, they need to maximize the pressure at every single detail... until the thing somehow explodes. Congratulate yourself on successfully shortening the bathroom breaks, and then get surprised when in a few months half of your workforce quits.
Oh boy. Didn't think I'd see something like this in $CURRENT_YEAR.
Have you reported this to the creator? Their email is in a couple of places.
I really wonder if we read the same article. Large parts of it are about politics and the different ways their system affects different kinds of politics and politicians. I don't understand why you find this somehow irrelevant or compartmentalizable. If you don't care about politics then this whole article and thread about it probably just isn't for you, because the concerns are fundamentally political to their core. In fact the criticism of XCheck is an egalitarian one, that the rules for the famous/ruling classes should be the same as for the plebs.

To flesh this out, look at the examples in the article where moderation decisions split or were reversed - that's the problem XCheck is designed to solve. Most are about politics:

- Saying "white paint colors are the worst" was classed as racism. Trying to define and then scrub all racist speech from the world is a left wing policy.

- A journalist who (we are told) was criticizing Osama bin Laden was classed automatically as supporting him, and then human moderators agreed. Scrubbing this sort of thing is (in the USA) historically either a right wing or bipartisan consensus. We don't know why the moderators agreed because the comments themselves are not presented to us. This was later overridden by higher ups at Facebook.

- Split decisions over Trump's post saying "when the looting starts the shooting starts" that got escalated to Zuckerberg himself.

- "The program included most government officials but didn't include all public candidates for office".

etc. If you try to ignore politics, the entire debate becomes meaningless, because indeed, you would not even perceive any problem with unequal enforcement in the first place.
What compels people to do stuff like this? And what wife would possibly agree to this insanity?
> with "X" as a first name and "AE A-XII" as a middle name

It sounds as though they allowed the middle name to contain a space, which doesn't match my mental model but perhaps that's how they do it in California. It invites the question: do they allow a first name to contain a space, so that ("X", "AE A-XII", "Last Name") and ("X AE", "A-XII", "Last Name") are different names?

EDIT: The funny thing isn't allowing spaces in a middle name; it's have a separate field for middle name(s) at all. Modern passports have just two name fields: "surname" and "given names". Both may contain spaces. But according to images on the web, Californian birth certificates really do have three name fields.
oh boy! well done for spotting that

Life is just so simple with a simple headphone jack.

Say you get a loaner car and you want to listen to music from your phone. You can either connect a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable between your phone and the car and start playback, or you can go into the car settings, start bluetooth pairing, wait for the device to be found, pair the devices, make sure that your address book is not shared via Bluetooth and stored in the car's memory and then start playback (and probably remove the pairing from both ends at the end of it all).

And carbon fiber also a had huge amount of development from commercial companies to drive it into 100s of applications. The total amount of investment in carbon fiber is dwarfed 100-1000x compared to government investment. Both are required to actually drive a technology forward consistently.

First: You do not snap your fingers and hand Amazon over to the workers. I am discussing a direction we could move society over time. My position is that it is in principle perfectly plausible to train people to manage something like Amazon. I am not suggesting we put warehouse workers in charge of AWS tomorrow.

Second: It is my bed time and I regret that I cannot continue to answer by way of conversation, but I would suggest reading link [1] in my above comment if you want to see an overall picture of how such a society might be organized.

All I can think is how inefficient it is to download text as a JPG. It would be cool if he first converted it to SVG.

For example this image is 344KB: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0dbd41d1d25c...

Using a basic online JPG->SVG converter ( https://tracesvg.com/uploads/1631702350_latest_part_1B_1.jpg... ) it goes to around 90KB (~4x smaller) and it should be a lot smaller with some basic curve optimizations.

I think it was the multiple references to OSS being dangerous (never figured out why) left a bad taste for me.

But the vulnerability is only for azure Linux hosts so not sure how to report it without mentioning Linux.

What’s comical though, is I wonder what they use for Windows/non-Linux hosts. Is there an OMI equivalent for those hosts? Unless it’s open source, I guess we won’t know if it has a vulnerability.

I think platform in this argument is meant to mean something users obtain and install apps (or websites) into. The JVM is not a platform really, it's a runtime. For a while the JRE was sort of a platform because users downloaded it separately, but that hasn't been true for a long time and yet Java is still popular.
As I said 4chan has always been about being counter culture. During early days 4chan was more liberal and Left leaning, then when government changed it switched. Had the Right held the office for longer 4chan would have again shifted more towards Left.

Chinese Jingjia Micro's new JM9 GPU offering up to GTX 1080 performance
Yes I added an edit after your comment to clarify that the point about ITER and LHC was just about how people could allocate funds for big projects, but of course there are innumerable examples for that.

My point is not that The State should fund everything. It is that groups of people can elect delegates and those delegates can make decisions for us. I don't want them to be made by a centralized state but instead by voluntary collectives. Basically I advocate for worker owned collectives to manage the production that those same workers depend upon. This would I think lead to more freedom with less exploitation. Those workers would have dominion over the profits they generate, rather than the current arrangement where that control is traded for a wage. I believe this could lead to a world where all people accumulate enough wealth that they no longer need to work to survive. But that can never happen if an elite class siphons off all the workers' profit to spend billions on pet projects for amusement.
