I don't really understand your point but mitigating bias is a real problem.

Most of us have filters. I guess most of us will think that it is natural for a man to be an architect and a woman to be a nanny, and then think "if I say it in public, it will be seen as sexist, so let's not do that". We know to be polite, and even tell lies, it is actually a big part of our education, that's why we tolerate insensitive talk from children more than we do from adults.

Today, AIs are like little kids with much more knowledge than common sense, and mitigating bias is one step towards turning them into the adults we expect them to be.
You mean a typo in the destination address? There's a zero percent chance anybody is manually typing it, any sane system would have checks and balances (like, do we definitely control the destination address?). If they are sending the money externally, they'd have a secure way for the other party to communicate the address (like a signed message).
Except you didn't ask the model about innate ability. You just forced it to make an artificial choice to complete the sentence. It wasn't the model that was the problem, but your question.
i can highly recommend tes3mp! i did a playthrough with some friends early in the pandemic and it was a lot of fun, a really great way to re-experience an amazing game.

granted there are some limitations you have to be willing to overlook to enjoy the game .. mainly around questing and syncing since all players share the same quest ledger. for example (SPOILER) when curing myself of corpus my character received the cure and attribute buffs but my teammates did not. in the main story line these sync issues are infrequent and were manageable, but at times got especially bad in the DLC -- be prepared to hop in to the command line a lot to revive quest givers, update the journal, acquire items, alter stats.

Those were concrete improvements for customers. Better products and pricing and convenience vs. the incumbents.

So if new companies can do the same thing to Google and Amazon, all the better.

They knew Iraq did not have WMDs. The invasion would not happened if it did.

The rhetoric had changed from WMDs to regime change just before the invasion of Iraq.

Also the character assasination of Kofi Annan (and stories on his son) by Western media at the time for an illegal war (according to the UN rules) was amazing.

The famous John Bolton “Libya model” of disarmament comment comes to mind.
I did contracting for a while, I bought insurance with dental in 2010. It cost me about $120 a month and was comparable to my work. I did some contracting around 2015 and i bought insurance, I was paying $400 with barely any coverage. In my 2010 plan i had no concept of co-insurance, in my 2015 i also have co-insurance, also heard from my friend that when his wife had a baby, they had several doctors half in-network and half out to max out his deductible. He said same hospital for his first kid cost him around $400, second kid at 2017 cost him $4500.

The cost have gone up a lot.
Stream? Unless you have really hight traffic, put that in a python script while loop that regularly check for new rows, and it will be fine.

Are you asking "is PHP still relevant as a tool?". (the 'it' was slightly ambiguous to me.

PHP is absolutely relevant, I'd think, by many peoples' measurements. But... we're on a 'hacker' site and people love to dump on PHP. PHP powers a large portion of internet sites. One estimate from w3techs is ~80% of sites with a known server side language are PHP.

Yes, much is WordPress. If you estimate that half of that is Wordpress, that still would leave... ~35%-40% of sites using PHP. Maybe even that is too high. What if it's 30%? That's a large number, both in terms of percent and absolute numbers.

Yes, PHP is 'relevant'. The ecosystems (Symfony, Laravel, etc) are pragmatically iterating, evolving goods ideas from a wide spectrum of web platforms. The language itself is similarly pragmatic, adopting new features, deprecating legacy stuff, and moving forward. The language is roughly 3x faster than it was 10 years ago, while retaining a lot of backwards compatibility.

The language itself along with various frameworks offers a good combination of speed of development, flexibility and rigor. The 'shared nothing' default makes it easier to reason about for many problems. Need to write a small shell script? Easy in PHP. Need to scale up to large loads? PHP can do it. There will be scaling concerns in any large setup - a PHP platform will likely have similar problems that other language/stacks will encounter at similar load.

So again, yes, it's relevant. There will be some other response saying "no", and then ... we'd have to define what you mean by 'relevant'... :)

Popular? Growing? Evolving? Uptick in usage for many problem spaces? Easy to scale?

I'd say 'yes' to all of those.

One difference is that the VA is a complete system, with it's own hospitals and staff. Medicare is that half-way solution, a public insurance system which buys medical services for the members from the private sector.

As for the VA system's woes, I would say: yeah, it's definitely possible to build a system that doesn't work well. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying.
> EDIT: it struck me after writing all this. Perhaps this is the core of the contention: Israel is just so damn effective at everything it does.

Indeed, Israel is extremely effective. Especially in 1948. I find that there is a general lack of awareness of the history of Palestine and the indigenous people that lived there (and still live there) here in the US. The average American (in the US) is not aware that over 750,000 people were forced to leave their land in 1948.

My parents were among them. They were forced to leave with my 1 year old sister. Ask any older Palestinian. No one chose to leave in 1948. There was a clear understanding that the Haganah would kill them if they stayed.

Call it what you will but this is universally recognized as ethnic cleansing and dispossession of land and homes. It's simply settler colonialism (the number of settlements continue to grow every year).

This was well documented by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine) among others. Most people simply hear news about violence, rockets, suicide bombers, etc. and do not understand the context. It's as if the Palestinians did not exist and the ethnic cleansing did not occur. There were over 500 small villages cleansed of inhabitants (see All That Remains by Walid Khalidi) and bulldozed over. Many now have settlers living nearby.

This is just history, not antisemitism.

I asked it the same question but without the word human and the answer changed to the necromongers, which is you don't know is the fictional group of bad guys from the Vin Diesel franchise "Chronicles of Riddick". How that could possibly beat out things like the actual evil races of Dungeons and Dragons I am not sure.

I asked google the same question and this was my top result:

The white man is the most evil race on the planet - Reddit

Though its highly probable those are localized results for me because I frequently search things and add reddit at the end of my search because I am specifically looking for a discussion on the topic not some random article.

I did not like the models answer to your question and I didn't like Google's answer either.

Yes, this is key, so important to NOT have to exclusively deal with sharp-elbow-environments at formative points in your career.

Purely anecdotal, but my earliest experiences with AirBnB were all staying as a guest in someone's home, which typically doesn't violate local regulations. You're allowed to have occasional guests crashing in your guest room in most residential areas.

Now, of course, AirBnB encourages fully investing in it as a landlord platform, where you rent and automate multiple whole properties and never meet the guests. That behavior lowers the quality of life in many tourist destinations today.

Right, because this issue cannot be solved with, IDK, magnetic cards? Or smartcards, or literally any other tech? If your children are getting bullied for lunches, the solution isn't to resort to biometrics. It's to investigate rumours, take victims seriously, and kick the offenders out of the bloody school after their third violence offense.

I have been bullied at school, and schools are frankly full of crappy ideas about how to minimise bullying. Back when I was being bullied, the most helpful thing by far that the school could've done, is to remove the source of my anxiety and fear. You wouldn't tolerate physical or verbal abuse in a workplace, you would've called the boss or the cops. And those cops wouldn't just walk away, they would tell the other party to stop or they would take them away in handcuffs.

To be fair, if a real human were to answer the question "How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?" time and time again, it would be very easy for them to accidentally reply "two" when asked the same question about oxygen.

The real question is, after the model mistakenly replied "two" to your question, did it also internally trigger the neurons for "Wait a minute..." while inhibiting output?
Canada is not like NZ. Public health insurance has a monopoly on the things it covers. If you get extended coverage it is for things not covered by your public plan.

There’s no way to pay for better/faster treatment if it’s publicly covered.

Ransomware's evolution: 6 key trends to watch
To add something to this to illustrate just how expensive the US healthcare system is:

Because of how hamstrung Medicare and Medicaid are - with laws restricting them from leveraging their size properly in negotiations, Medicare and Medicaid combined cost US taxpayers as much per taxpayer as the NHS costs per UK taxpayer.

The big difference, of course, being that this buys us universal coverage in the UK, while Medicaid and Medicare only covers a portion of the US population. So the cost per recipient of care is many times higher.

Then a whole lot of Americans have to pay again in private insurance to actually get cover.

So for a start, Americans ought to campaign to unshackle Medicare. Remove the regulations preventing it from leveraging its size fully and make it subject to pressure to be cost effective, and put the savings into expanding coverage, and you'd already be a huge step closer to solving the problem.

EDIT: This is an interesting read:

We're actually working on that, and have made progress with Brave and Opera. You're right that for wide, mainstream adoption, we'll need to expand onto platforms like Android/iOS, and that's the dream, honestly. Working on URIs like IPFS:// and IPNS://, which are supported in Brave/Opera to an extent.

It's a long road though, with lots of negotiations with lots of organizations. I do feel optimistic about it though.
Fair. To explain my thinking; in the UK we have lot less land area, so generally bypasses are pretty controversial, and when Adams was writing the books a lot of them were being created and it was very much in the public consciousness as an issue of the time.

Of course; it could be the same over there :D So my theory could also be wrong.
In actual production, corporate environments, performance isn't necessarily the most important thing. Maintainability is often much more important. Sure, a Rust system may be faster than Python, but when your lead engineer quits and your backup is on vacation, and nobody else even knows how the hell the code works, you're going to reach for something like Python or Java.
I'm curious why do you think it's not possible to make a game like "Teardown" using Unity.

You likely already know that TimescaleDB is an extension to PostgreSQL, so you get everything you'd get with PostgreSQL plus the added goodies of TimescaleDB. All that said, you can drop (or detach) data partitions in PostgreSQL (however you decide to partition...)

I don't know in this specific case, but for other games/emulators you can either use a hacked version of the game that doesn't require a security check, or, if you can reverse engineer what the authentication server does, point the game to some other server (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd#CD_key_non-interoperabil...) that acts that the authentication server.

Probably referring to the infamous Ethereum fork which is not a good comparison. That was because of a security vulnerability found in multiple high-profile smart contracts, not someone fat fingering an address.

I doubt Binance has the influence to convince anyone to fork just to save them. They have no outsized control over Tezos afaik.

They could probably convince Tether to blacklist and refund the stolen/lost coins though, which is maybe what GP meant. That should not be confused with forking the underlying chain though.
This restricts metaprogramming, not you putting "template <typename T>" in your code for a generic function. I don't know how you got such a weird read of the readability requirements; it is definitely not as strict as you put here (and I'm currently at Google and commonly write C++).
And yet curiously all political discussions focus on the inequality between the lower middle class and the upper middle class.
I don’t know what to make of this statistic. Wealth begets wealth so this is not surprising. Stocks are not a limited scarce resource so it’s not like the top are hoarding them. A more interesting stat would be to see if the bottom 90% increased their stock holdings or not. It would be a shame if that reduced for some population bracket.

It also had a different form factor, built around the graffiti scribbling thing, and completely reliant on a stylus and resistive screens, which were ok for the time (I loved mine), but were obsoleted overnight by the iPhone.

There was also the LG Chocolate (pretty much the only phone with a capacitive screen released before the iPhone), which is a demonstration that “capacitive touchscreen” does not imply “iPhone form factor”.
I don't think that person implied that at all. That's how I remember the whole Shkreli thing too -- there were about 3,000 people taking that drug he hiked the price on, and 60% of them got it for $1. The remainder got it through health insurance, and for those who couldn't afford it at all, he claims they got it for free. Note I have _not_ fact-checked any of that, but that goes against the typical narrative that people couldn't get the drug because of the price hike.

I think ClickBait is what is driving the drought, and even other cases of public anxiety more than anything else right now.

It's unfortunate that major news outlets feel the need to capitalize on fear to generate profit now more than ever. The anxiety drives people to flood supermarkets and over-buy goods, which pleases advertisers, and it's a constant cycle of fear that can lead to major safety problems for us all during a real crisis.

Fear mongering is now even present in major news sources, this constant process of sensationalizing issues without proper historical context diminishes the value of rational and trust-worthy news reporting that used to truly solve societal problems in the past... We should hold news outlets accountable for over-sensationalism like how CNN and others are reporting on this drought cycle... :/
Yeah, 0.1% are directing the laws, but they are not our elected leaders. They are the unelected leaders of the largest corporations.
They probably feel like you when preparing these too. The reason it excels is that a few of the individual tweets go viral and it drives the complete thread.

Twitter could provide a long-form writing platform where you write the whole thing and then some tweets you want to package with it. I suspect they feel that this is a form of experimentation where any of the sets of sentences could go viral, but the author may be unlikely to select the correct ones most of the time.
To me it seems its working perfectly. 0 confidence on the surfing spots means you just have to look at the other number :)
