If that were true then the suit will be dismissed in court. But from literally the first google search of 'is fiction exempt from libel'.

> Even if the work contains a disclaimer stating that it’s fictional, a libel claim can still arise. However, plaintiffs must clear certain hurdles. In order to state an actionable claim for defamation, a plaintiff must show: publication, defamatory meaning, false statement, identification and damages. In libel suits arising out of fiction, arguably the toughest hurdle for plaintiffs to clear is the identification, or “it’s me” requirement.

I got a dual-major in psychology in undergrad, and while it's not been an exceptionally useful degree, it did bequeath me with an enormous dose of skepticism toward psychometrics like this. The replication crisis solidified that skepticism

Being able to choose less "related" words doesn't sound like it has much meaningful basis at all in what we care about when we say "creativity". This metric, as many others like it, was likely chosen and popularized because it is easy to measure
> I am still confused how people think that it being an accidental "lab leak" is any more damning of the role China played in the initial outbreak.

Huh. I think most people find that if something "happens to you" it's less your fault than if you "made it happen". If your house burns down from a gas line explosion nearby, that's bad luck for you. If it burns down because you had a pile of paper next to your stove while operating it, that's on you.

How it was handled after the fact is probably similar (though again, if it was your own source, then it probably meant you had even earlier warning), but I believe it's mostly down to "things that happen to you versus things you cause".
Still going? What kind of work are you performing on the telescopes? Sounds interesting. Thanks.
> What seems to make AIs more intelligent is simply their scale. More neurons, more connections (referred to as “parameters” in the community) means better, and techniques that don’t work at one scale may jump to human-level at a larger one.

I think for this reason human artists won’t be replaced anytime soon. The human brain is insanely efficient. I have a theory that humans are smart not because of some magic algorithm in the brain, but more because we process so much input we can recognize so many patterns at once.

IIRC we‘ve build a super-computer with as much “processing power” as a human brain (although we also don’t know exactly how neurons work). But it’s not just that. We have to build that computer, run it for decades on all kinds of input, and then we have something as smart and creative as one human. Not necessarily even an artistic one either. Meanwhile there are over 7 billion humans, plenty of whom can make art for cheap. And that’s why we’re far from companies using AI to make their graphics.

I’d love to see AI stories and art, but until we get much more processing power i doubt we’ll get AI making novel creations. These abstract art pieces? Sure. Transferring styles (e.g. Van Gogh, water color, polygonal) between paintings? Sure. In fact I bet most artists will be using AI-augmented tools. But for a long time AI will still involve human work and/or be relegated to different styles.
What's weird is that every app in Java uses a DI container, while just about no apps that I've encountered in the rest of the world worry about anything that heavy. Most apps just cheat and use a bit of global state or maybe roll their own service locator pattern and don't worry about it. From the outside it seems like Java's sweet spot is really massive applications where you can't just cheat in one or two well-known spots in the code and call it good.

Freenet implements low latency queue and allows for near-realtime communication over distributed storage. Specifically, “IRC over Freenet” WAS made long time ago. You get modem-like delays and bandwidth, but is this a problem? Trying to use it when someone is actively searching for you is a different story, because there's a balance between sending data and being detectable.

Great advice! It is similar to something I have been doing for close to 20 years now: whenever I come across a really tricky bug of some kind (usually one that got all the way into production without being caught), I write down some notes on it. What the problem was, what we did to find it, and what we did to fix it. Most inportant is the "Lessons" part (a few sentences) - what should be done to avoid these kinds of problems in the future.

I've written about what this looks like:

and I have also written about general lessons extracted from all these notes:

I like to contrast traditional case-based testing with property-based testing like this:

With both approaches, you want to show that certain claims hold about the software you are testing. With case-based testing, the claims are implicit (implied by your cases), and the cases are explicit. With property-based testing, the claims are explicit (your property specifications) and the cases are implicit (being some fuzzed subset of the claim's domain).
> I think it's a mistake (and ahistorical) to assume that these methods are intended to improve people's well being. The religions existing in the world today are here BECAUSE they were the most effective at altering peoples behavior. These techniques and rituals are the phenotypes of memetic viruses.

I think you're right there. With the world being a constantly subtly (and often dramatically) changing dynamic system ... things that end up withstanding millenia are mostly those that have had more inherent robustness than the alternatives ... and especially with successful organisations, longevity implies rather that they were systems good at using, increasing and conserving their own power and that of their members than that they had good intentions.
It’s not a matter of access for many. The universal subsidized childcare of primary education was closed for over a year, and subsequently private childcare couldn’t keep up with demand. Combined with the fact that existing childcare providers couldn’t necessarily expand their sizes due to distancing needs and labor shortages

My school district issues Chromebooks (mandatory).

Buried in the school usage guide/hand-out is a paragraph that states that the school reserves the right to enable the microphone and camera at any time, with no warning or notice required by the school faculty.

I've just opened the YouTube frontpage from a private window to see what it's like. There is literally nothing on there I'd want to click on. I think the value of YouTube is in 1) being able to link to a video 2) subscribing to creators and having them in your feed and 3) related videos. But none of that is the kind of browsing around you can do from the frontpage.

You can't see any use case for a private and censorship-resistant publishing platform that isn't illegal? Okay, pretending for a moment that privacy and censorship-resistance aren't good ends unto themselves: Whistleblowing, publishing something perfectly legal but which political or corporate interests don't want published, and publishing or reading LGBT+ content in a political, social, or family situation that would disapprove.
But at least we aren't "regressing" to how societies always worked, having the expectation that a woman would prioritise the care of children over a "career".

Thanks for pointing out the separation rates. It would be misogynistic to dare considering a correlation between women not prioritising being a housewives over a career and men getting less interested in sticking around.

I like these types of video websites, but a huge reason they will never beat YouTube is the age. YouTube has a huge abundance of content that spans pretty far back. When you have that much content its kinda hard to beat.

> Is PeerTube supremely unpopular (...), or am I missing something?

One reason of seeming more inpopular than it actually is, lies in that while there are many PeerTube instances, they are not all federating together. They are selective and some are not federating at all.

Also I am not sure if counting of views works all that well yet, and Likes require either signing up to individual instances, or spreading of video link via Mastodon to get liked (via ActivityPub integration).

Both the federation and the level of integration with other Fediverse apps is a work in progress and steadily improving.

Then you either misunderstand or (intentionally?) misrepresent the article. The `loop` construct you're talking about has nothing to do with the author's proof, and neither does it "essentially use bitcoin blockchain as a database" as you have written somewhere else in the thread. For the interested reader, I have commented on these points where they were brought up.

To explain the Game of Life contract you're linking to: The `loop`, again, is just an implementation detail to go over each field on the board in a *single* transaction. It's not part of any proof. The actual turing-complete element - letting the GoL run - happens outside: Each generation state transfer happens via a bitcoin transaction.

Roughly at the scale of any mega company, it isn't one company: it's several that have the same funding and ease of transfer (people, resources, etc.) but not necessarily coordination.

The fancy/official term for this is usually Lecturer. It’s a permanent position that’s usually not equal to professor in power and prestige, but it’s permanent, the pay can be good and you don’t have any expectation of research.

Graduate students and adjunct professors have largely taken over this responsibility because they are much cheaper.

The bases in Antarctica are important because once there is a clear economic incentive, the Antarctic Treaty will end and each country will try to grab a piece. You can let the morons build bases there and nuke them at the last second, but it's more friendly to keep a few bases and use that as a antecedent to pick your part when the negotiations starts.
I don't have the numbers handy for the U.K. I'm copy pasting what I dredged up for an earlier comment on the comparison with Israel.

As of Sep. 1, 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated.
Sweden seems to be close to, if not already at, the coveted herd immunity by vaccination.
In comparison, in Israel, 65% have had one shot and only 60% are fully vaccinated (a smidge over half of those 3x).

I generally conflate fuzz and property based testing, particularly when I nearly always mean property based testing. This is lazy, and is lazily justified with "fuzzing is pbt with very generic inputs / pbt is fuzzing with more intelligent inputs".

Regardless, the hard part with pbt is generating the inputs so they cover real cases and dont accidentally systematically miss some (this is often achieved by choosing different testing boundaries). The hard part with fuzzing is knowing you've done enough that you've hit many real data flows.
Redux is a good example of a functional pattern that makes waaay more sense in a language with pattern matching, immutable values, and ADTs built in. You have to really think about what you're doing to scale Redux up with a large app in a JS runtime and to avoid the boilerplate. Last time I used Redux with TS the typings were not particularly helpful as well but that may've improved.

Ex-president, twice impeached Trump on April 3, 2020 at the White House: “The C.D.C. is advising the use of nonmedical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure. So it’s voluntary. You don’t have to do it. They suggested for a period of time, but this is voluntary. I don’t think I’m going to be doing it.”

“I just don’t want to be doing — I don’t know, somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute Desk, the great Resolute Desk. I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens — I don’t know, somehow I don’t see it for myself. I just, I just don’t.”

I was interested and fact checked this. Financial services are a small part of total revenue (about 1/12). They seem to be somewhat more profitable and make up about 1/4 of operating income. Fundamentally though Toyota is able to sell financial services because it sells cars. So Toyota I would say is very much a car company with a nice side hustle selling financial services.

This level of architecture management on big server CPUs is amazing! I occasionally handle problems like this on a small scale, like minimizing wake time and peripheral power management on an 8 bit microcontroller, but there the entire scope is digestible once you get into it, and the kernel is custom-designed for the application.

However, in my case, and I expect in yours, requirements engineering is the place where you can make the greatest improvements. For example, I can save a few cycles and a few microwatts by sequencing my interrupts optimally or moving some of the algorithm to a look-up table, but if I can, say, establish that an LED indicator flash that might need to be 2x as bright but only lasts for a couple milliseconds every second is as visible as a 500ms LED on/off blink cycle, that's a 100x power savings that I can't hope to reach with micro-optimizations.

What are your application-level teams doing to reduce the data requirements? General-purpose NUMA fabrics are needed to move data in arbitrary ways between disc/memory/NICs, but your needs aren't arbitrary - you basically only require a pipeline from disc to memory to the NIC. Do you, for example, keep the first few seconds of all your content cached in memory, because users usually start at the start of a stream rather than a few minutes in? Alternatively, if 1000 people all start the same episode of Stranger Things within the same minute, can you add queues at the external endpoints or time shift them all together so it only requires one disk read for those thousand users?

I remember reading about cases where a minimum wage increase in a particular area actually benefited employers because they've had less turnover as a result so saved on training and ramp-up costs - but (effectively) none of them could convince themselves to do that spontaneously.

I keep wondering if a similar thing is happening here.
Interesting second order affect:

lack of childcare -> smaller available labor pool -> disproportionate difficulty hiring in childcare (because it doesn't pay well) -> continued lack of childcare

We could actually be looking at a bistable system, in which (because childcare jobs are towards the bottom end of the pay spectrum) you don't get available childcare unless you have surplus labor, and until you have available childcare you will have a labor shortage.

The solution would be the pay more for childcare, but that money has to come from somewhere, and a lot of people who require it cannot pay a lot more. A conundrum...

>I think the point being made is that prices have to be adjusted to allow revenue to cover taxes along with other costs.

Profits always cover corporation tax because corporation tax is a fraction of profit (of course it's more complicated than that in reality). But the essential point is if corporation tax is lower then there is more money to distribute to shareholders, if the tax is higher then there is less.
