Who is the “we” in your statement? I can certainly envision some people who think they are worse off actually are worse off. It is a very popular sentiment amongst a large portion of the population comparing their parents lives to theirs.
Have you tried out Brave? It uses the Chromium engine.
It is not, but that never stops large corporations :)
It's hard to say exactly where this sentiment of mine comes from. Culturally, I am influenced by the Eastern philosophical virtue of filial piety. It also doesn't help that my parents, grandparents, and extended family all ask about when I plan to finally have children. You could say that I feel the way I do out of cultural obligation, that certainly plays a role, but it also feels like something I genuinely want for myself by my own desire. Who knows, maybe the degree of desire to have children is itself something genetic and heritable?
While most of the random starting weights converged quickly, this one got stuck with a fairly incorrect worldview, so to speak:

![data=blueberries in center ringed by strawberries; model=top and bottom third red, middle third blue instead of the expected outer ring red inner circle blue.](https://imgur.com/a/N2w69Mp)

Is it overfitting to say the same is true for humans, where a brain's starting weights and early experiences may make it much more difficult to achieve an accurate model?

I wonder where this will go with the rise of Stablecoins like USDC, USDT and DAI. The traditional argument to this is just "use crypto" but the traditional counterargument is "what if BTC falls off a cliff tomorrow" or similar comments about the volatility of crypto.

But now with stablecoins, I wonder how long before all places deemed too unsavory to will just start accepting Tether or another stablecoin. You can already see the govt scrambling to patch their own weakness in this area with their own coin (forgot what it's called). The govt knows they are in the weaker position here because they have virtually zero regulatory authority over stablecoins.

Well, you invented one of the best things since sliced bread! I love NDjson, being able to parse a sequence of {} objects as an array is just frankly more natural. A coworker got some absurd speedup going from some massive json array to ndjson.

Honestly if json had as part of its spec line-delimited arrays, and accepting NaN, it'd be close to perfect. Oh and native ints, but that is JS's problem.

Well, and a single, canonical spec. And a hard limit (however high) on nesting depth. And some other things. Ok, maybe it's far from perfect.

When compared to Samsung's flagship it's pretty impressive.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is getting 21.68 hours of web browsing out of a 4352 mAh battery vs. the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (Qualcomm 888 variant) getting 15.91 hours of web browsing out a 5000 mAh battery.

When you consider the SPEC 2017 performance metrics published earlier (A15 performance core - 7.28 integer & 10.15 floating point vs. Qualcomm 888 X1 core - 4.48 integer & 6.28 floating point) it's more impressive.

Yeah, I agree with you that the group must be balanced more with the group to be a human system. However, I believe communism relies on a fictitious concept in the state to be a proxy for the group and the fiction when unchecked turns tyrannical. The US system was designed with competing hierarchies that would check each other in order to “stop the group from consuming the individual” through state tyranny, although that’s largely broken down. Turns out the state don’t like boundaries, equivalently to how marvel evolved Superman from a fast running strong man to being a flying laser eyes G-d.

I know people that lived in communist Yugoslavia. It was little better than Cuba and Soviet Russia, and a small elite lived well like feudal lords. Everyone else was dead poor with basic living standards at best.

> Space luxury communists.

If we gain a healthy fear of tech and acknowledge the dual nature of humans, both evil and good, new solutions will open up like when humans stopped burning down stuff with fire by containing it and applying it with a healthy fear.

I think whatever we would have next would be best centered by the individual in the natural and human local community, with a very small central state, in order to not overwhelm the local community and the individual with the centralized tyranny communism has tended towards.

Some people argue that a centralized communist AI world economic forum style will make communist non-tyrannical. I think that is unrealistic because a centralized AI deciding stuff, like the Fabian society dreamed up (see HG Wells “things to come”), will also be tyrannical as it’s still made and maintained by people. A Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao will eventually control it.

Btw, Marcuse that formulated the woke movement thought a communist system could only fund basic living standards. He also thought that for sustainability the state needed eugenics control over reproduction. Only a commmunist fascist merge like China has supported luxury, but that system is indistinguishable from feudalism. Wokism in practice seems like a China like system achieved through communist means
Telemetry that is not opt-in is not legal, that is the end of it. No amount of justification will change it and no justification should even be present, because spying on people is always wrong unless it is with consent (which is given freely and not as part of some wishy-washy dark pattern corporatism).
Matt Blaze explains why he thinks COUNTRY 1 is France[0].

Specifically, Russia and China are not likely to turn over the agent. We know from the correspondence that the suspects mentioned a poor translation, so you can surmise that it is not an English speaking country. We know that COUNTRY 1 has an Embassy in the US and a legal attache, so that rules out Iran or North Korea.

Sounds like a trick question, but Netscape's latest beta from September includes scripting support. Rumor has it that they're going to rename it to JavaScript later this year since Sun is pushing for strategic alignment with their Java platform. (You can use it to script e.g. applets). But you can embed the decompression code directly in the file, writing it in the scripting language itself—no compiled bytecode (or even a Java plugin) is necessary.
And C++, D, Nim, Zig, and several others.

It’s astonishing that no one involved with Élan ever went to prison.
"While the Tories, the Whigs, the Peelites — in fact, all the parties we have hitherto commented upon — belong more or less to the past, the Free Traders (the men of the Manchester School, the Parliamentary and Financial Reformers) are the official representatives of modern English society, the representatives of that England which rules the market of the world.

They represent the party of the self-conscious Bourgeoisie, of industrial capital striving to make available its social power as a political power as well, and to eradicate the last arrogant remnants of feudal society. This party is led on by the most active and most energetic portion of the English Bourgeoisie — the manufacturers.

What they demand is the complete and undisguised ascendancy of the Bourgeoisie, the open, official subjection of society at large under the laws of modern, Bourgeois production, and under the rule of those men who are the directors of that production. By Free Trade they mean the unfettered movement of capital, freed from all political, national and religious shackles. The soil is to be a marketable commodity’ and the exploitation of the soil is to be carried on according to the common commercial laws. There are to be manufacturers of food as well as manufacturers of twist and cottons, but no longer any lords of the land. There are, in short, not to be tolerated any political or social restrictions, regulations or monopolies, unless they proceed from “the eternal laws of political economy,”

Perhaps FAANG pays so much exactly because of this? I mean, they want the best of the best because maintaining patchy code (without breaking production) is difficult and painful. At least, in my experience in non-FAANG companies: they pay the big bucks to do the difficult stuff (e.g., maintain legacy patchy code without breaking production and bringing money to the company) not for doing the easy stuff (e.g., starting from scratch some cute microservice using DDD and Hexagonal Architecture).

I think Israel is more likely (underdog in a sea of sharks for some), Iran (unfairly treated), Russia/China (will show those libtards) or an oil giant in the middle east (money) or maybe some south american thing.

I mean the guy is an idiot but France, I wouldnt betray any other country for it and Im French... what we dont do ourselves we dont deserve.
There have been ~180 million vaccinations in the US and approximately 16,000 deaths shortly after receiving it, along with over 75,000 hospitalizations [1]. That implies the odds of dying from the vaccine are 1 in 11,250, and odds of serious complications requiring hospitalization are 1 in 2,400. The odds of a healthy 35 year old dying from COVID are 1 in 2,700.

So the odds of serious, possibly permanent injury, or death, from the vaccine are slightly higher than the odds of dying from COVID for those 35 and younger. I realize that you will now dispute VAERS numbers, but they are the closest thing we have to accurate data on this.

That was a great episode of Jim Al-Khalili's "The Life Scientific" which is worth listening to.

It's an excellent series for anyone interested in science and engineering, he does a great job of showing just how varied science is, and also how varied the routes into science can be. Many of his interviewees end up in their specialisms thoough often very circuitous routes.
Given they are using hydraulic motors on the wheels it could be easily converted to skid steer. The current configuration has very high ground pressure but low wear characteristics. Skid steer has high ground wear but supports the use of tracks which could reduce ground pressure and increase traction.

This is the first I've heard this, but I live in a heavily Chinese part of Northern California. The parks have very small groups of Chinese women dancing in the mornings, but that's it. It sounds like it's a much bigger thing in China. Taking over the basketball courts? Wow.

My feeling is, it's harmless here. I wouldn't presume to tell the Chinese what they ought to do about it over there.

Well then, something clearly is not working in that process, if we're here.
Absolutely!

Cialis is my "go to" also - because it's half-life is about 24 hours so you can take it once a day and not "plan" what is often unplannable.

Also agree with citrulline. Good choice plus it also helps with working out by increasing NO which increases blood flow to muscles as well as the penis. Being "always ready" actually makes no-fap and confidence with women easier thus you can be less ruled by your cock and more by your brain!

Viagra was originally being researched as a blood pressure medicine because of the NO effects but it was accidentally discovered to help with ED during clinical trials!

Seed Operating
I think showing yourself as a real person would help. But then again: maybe it’s just me and no one else cares :-)
Jobs also gets credit for being incredibly intuitive.

Very few negotiators can reverse their positions in nanoseconds and realize the better deal is no deal at all.
Well, in my case, analytics for planning/scheduling of operations. I need to figure out which service points to cluster together. I need to point out that I specifically don't deal with parcels. Occasional individual outliers (some of these points DO need specifically GPS coordinates because occasionally there's an item like "the side of a shed on a parking lot", where the parking lot doesn't have a postal address) can be dealt with, but having, say, 99.5-99.9% ("best effort") systematization is very useful, especially when looking at how to migrate former units of work (which might involve fighting some organizational structures in a large national company). Without this it's impossible for me for example to estimate the objective function difference between a system that routes operations completely arbitrarily with optimal route length and a system that uses somewhat sub-optimal routes but with vastly lesser "human complexity"; for example, with routes spanning a small set of roads) that doesn't need that much automation (a paper list of locations in order - the status quo of the former system).

> The most important thing to recognise is that any arbitrary address will fit many different address conventions, but each of those conventions will result in a different location.

In my case it definitely should not do that, even with different conventions. Maybe that's one of those international things.
That’s HN for you
I wonder what on earth the police want with patient data from the NHS. What's wrong with obtaining a warrant to access the necessary data on a case by case basis? (Although I can think of very few cases where patient data would help solve a legitimate crime).
I don't think that's a given. Or, at least, not if the extent of the argument is "well, they seem primitive to me, I assume my ancestors were primitive, so...".

The hunting and gathering (and storing, and shelter, and guarding, and...) surely were as varied as semi-modern (pre globalization) societies. The amount of work would depend on the natural environment and climate, hunting or fishing, trade with other local tribes, culture and mythologies.

I'd argue that the few, highly sequestered, remaining hunter gatherer societies, by virtue of being the only ones still around, are likely to be very much outliers in some dimensions and actually plausibly quite different from our own ancestors.

Same. I was sorry to abandon Slashdot because I really admired the complex user-generated moderation system and its multiple meta-moderation levels. Over time, though, it produced too many +5s for comments that didn’t deserve it and I wasn’t able to set my filters correctly. HN doesn’t produce better comments but it’s easier to skim the ones I don’t want to read. Since PG disabled displayed upvotes it’s been even easier to skim as well as enjoy reading without worrying I’m investing time into a mediocre comment.

Most of your problems aren't problems

> 3. Do you pass around user-provided JSON data accross your system? How many JSON nesting levels does your implementation allow? What happens if it's exceeded? What happens if different parts of your processing system have different limits? What about other unspecified limits like serialized size, string length?

XML has the same issue, that's why SAX exists, it works the same way with JSON.

> 2. JSON allows for duplicate/repeated keys, and allows for the parser to basically do anything when that happens. Do you know how the parser implementation you use handles this? Are you sure there's no differences between that implementation and other implementations used in your system (eg. between execution and validation)? What about other undefined behaviour, like permitted number ranges?

A parser should... parse and not interpret data or it isn't a parser. it's a deserializer. Well how many languages allow duplicate keys for maps anyway? this isn't an issue in practice.

Basically, the answer to all your problems is to use an evented parser instead of a deserializer.

I'm not sure about that at all. I assume you don't sit around thinking that you have several times the amount of income that you need, or that your taxes should be several times what they are now?

It's safe to say the U.S. does a terrible job providing for it's citizens given the wealth of the country, but the European states we often hold up as models have gdp's per capita that are 4 or 5 times 10,000USD. That seems like the bare minimum we'd want to shoot for, rather than ensuring that everyone in the world lives like the fine people in Namibia.

There's a point where all nuance and complexity is lost such that the model becomes useless. IOW this is, besides being incorrect, over-simplified. Your assumptions, especially for the future, are completely unjustified in this format.

As far as its incorrectness, this model implies both that this history of work is a progression, which it's not, and that each stage succeeds the previous, which it does not. Many of these stage overlap, sometimes by millennia.
