As a reviewer I have reproduced results with my own independent plasma simulation code. And I have had a reviewer write in a report about my paper "result X seemed strange, but I ran it with my code and it does it too. I don't know why, but the results is valid". In my opinion that is even better than just rerunning the same code.
I was one of the original developers on this project! It was called the Watson Assistant and was a completely different code base from the original Jeopardy code base. The dialog tree was actually fairly sophisticated in allowing for a lot of flexibility. However, I always had a concern hat developers would find it too complex to author dialogs. Apart from the dialog tree, the other components were a text classifier and an entity detection system. It has been several years since I quit IBM so I have no idea how it has evolved since then.
It would indeed be less outrageous (but still bad) if you're right, and I may have misinterpreted the extent, but to me following expression in the article seems reason for concern, even about access to purchased games:

It is refreshing to see someone who diagnoses the issue here correctly.

The root problem people are complaining about is the moderation policies, and the truth is that services like Facebook et al are simply too large to be effectively moderated. Appealing to (US ideas of) free speech would propose that the solution to bad moderation is no moderation whatsoever (speech restrictions must be content-neutral, and moderation by definition is not content-neutral)--and I think most people would rapidly find that no moderation is worse than bad moderation.

The most effective solution is to do what ought to have been done a decade ago and prevent further social media consolidation and consider breaking up the current oligopoly of social media.
Too bad, reading the title I was hoping for some UHF mystery signals ;-)
Prior to going to work for a direct competitor (which I was also a heavy user of), I fed my family out of a Paypal account for approximately 10 years, and had good experiences throughout. Total processed through Paypal on order of $X00,000 mostly in $30 chunks; I don't own the business anymore so can't SQL the breakdown by processor.

The one time my account was limited was after moving $3k immediately following a new apartment move in Japan. Total time to resolution: 2 minutes after calling them.

There, now you know one.

Rust already does that. Just that sprintf("Hello %s", username) is written format!("Hello {}", username), which made it easy to now extend it to allow format!("Hello {username}"). Being a late comer made it easy to plan ahead for the future.

But really I didn't really mention it because printf syntax seems to me like exactly the "mini script using in-band signaling and its weird syntax" that GP complained about.
So on the one hand we have:

1) negative impacts on individuals and societies of SARS-COV-2
2) negative impacts on individuals and societies of policies designed to tackle (1)

and then we have the claim that because (2) is a non-empty set and contains specific sorts of issues that it inevitably will come to be understood as worse than (1).

That's a hell of claim to make. It seems to hinge mostly on one or both of two theories about the world (and the disease):

a) deaths due to the virus were going to be about the same no matter what
b) the deaths somehow count for less than the afflictions of the living
Unfortunately they've made a lot of design modifications to the FREMM design. I worry that while some of these are necessary, it will add cost to what should be a comparatively cheap platform. If these end up being half the cost of a Burke while only capable of performing at 30%, it won't work out well.
Now that we know it's inevitable that everyone, vaccinated or not, will be infected, is there much evidence that vaccines are reducing the odds of long COVID from a breakthrough case? My understanding is that it can often arise after quite mild cases.

> War isn't some kind of rock paper scissors as in RTS games.

No. The goal is to force the opponent to play rock-paper-scissors, while you don't have to.

Every M1 Abrams tank (aka: 120mm platform) is supported by an M2 Bradley (aka: 30mm platform). Do you know why? Because there are things a 30mm gun can do that a 120mm can't.

And vice versa.

-----------

By sending an M1 Abrams + M2 Bradley at the same time to your opponent, _THEY_ have to play rock paper scissors against your known strategy, depending on if the M1 Abrams reaches them first, or if the M2 Bradley reaches them first.

Add on a few 155mm indirect fire Howitzers, a few infantry who know how to use mortars + small arms fire, and now the opponent is playing rock-paper-scissors against so many different possibilities.

The Tank Commander/gunner isn't playing rock paper scissors at all. They see the target, then choose the right ammo, and then shoot what's appropriate.
Far to often nowadays I'll hear people defend communications-companies based on the idea that they can censor whatever they want because they're private entities. Mostly though, that idea is only true for them when they feel that their ideological opponents are being censored. Framing companies like google as new public squares is spot on.

And as you say, free speech is an ideology, and in my opinion this should be repeated. It is a culture and a mindset, not just laws, laws being downstreams from culture anyway. If you do not wish for it to apply in all those areas, in my opinion, you do not defend it at all.
Yes, many of them go back to the same primary source.

But the [42] you mention seems entirely on point, eg, with 'That was a mistake, Humphreys admitted three weeks ago: "The evidence was obvious," he wrote. "Schrödinger was a serial abuser." '

That's certainly enough to suspect that this is not meant to interpret a cultural difference in the age of consent as pedophilia, but is actually the "the evilness of a terrible thing" you opposed.

I don't know why you thought it was more likely the former.
Perfectly makes sense! But such hardware can be an additional place for their implants... supposing that the hardware is already there. Not that they are supplying it or replacing the passive one with the (clearly detectable) one in question here.
I mean most rockers from the 80s and 90s. People don't really talk about it much, but it's in their autobiographies and everything. They were all with underage groupies and it's no secret-- people just really like their work so they try to avoid thinking about it too much. Which is how Steven Tyler can be a host on American Idol

That sounds pretty ominous. What policy would you suggest? Why would you be confident the government would be at all competent?
So, how does it work now? Last time I checked this was called "leeching" and fought against. Also, if everyone is doing that, it makes the whole protocol meaningless.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the UK implemented vaccine and mask mandates?
My point is not that "free speech" as a concept is bad (though I do mention in another comment here that it does raise thorny issues). My point is that tying this complaint and "free speech" together is pointless because it directs attention at the wrong thing.

It's the difference between saying "$person got kicked off Google in a violation of their free speech" and "$person got kicked off Google for a totally specious reason that doesn't even violate Google's TOS".

The first one gets immediately shut down because they didn't violate anyone's free speech. If you try to make that argument it's a total non-starter. We can have a big fun discussion about free speech online some time - and that does happen here on HN - but that's not the issue here.

The second one gets at the actual issue - Google have just booted someone even though they didn't apparently violate their TOS. They just arbitrarily did so to appease a paying client.

I hope this is clear.
Throughout most of history, any given culture was prone to call any surrounding culture "barbarians", or equivalent terms. The meaning was more akin to "foreigner", though there were also often connotations of ethnic or nationalistic superiority.

This was the case amongst the Romans, previously the Greeks, also Persians and other tribes and cultures of the Middle East / Western Asia. And similarly in China.

Nationalistic identity and senses of superiorty may be wholly unjustified on factual basis, and I tend to think that they are unjustified myself. They're also highly prevalent across times and cultures until quite recent times.

My thoughts exactly.

To be fair, I think there are economic conditions that drive the unfortunate situation. Quanta is very lucky to have enormous free support from a billionaire-funded foundation (Simons Foundation).

When publications become desperate for cash, they dive into the politics and culture war rathole.

I buy them. Streaming services encode streams using lossy compression for both sound and video, and the difference is noticeable, especially for 4k movies with HDR and TrueHD/Atmos. If you have a decent home theater setup, the discs are worth it.

Streaming services' bitrates top out around 40 Mbps (4k UHD on Apple TV), and most services are actually closer to 20 for 4k, often even lower. 4k UHD Blu-Rays have up to 128 Mbps bitrate. The quality difference is evident, including in the sound. You can see compression artifacts in dark scenes on streaming, and jagged lines in color gradients. The simulataneous dynamic range of sound (some things being loud while other, quieter things are audible on other speakers at the same time) is lower on streaming. And on top of all that, the quality is inconsistent, and the stream will drop into a lower resolution for no apparent reason.

I get the sense that the market is drying up, but I hope it doesn't, because the quality of streaming is legitimately worse. The discs are currently the only way to get uncompressed quality, unless I guess if you find a torrent with a rip. But that would be a 50-100 GB download, for one movie.

Also, when I buy the disc, I own it. It's mine forever, in its definitive edition. No scene cuts/edits for political or monetary reasons are possible, and streaming services cannot yank the movie and prevent me from watching it.
But we understand that life is full of struggle and death, yet we have children.

"Distancing ourselfs from eachother by using money to measure the value of every interaction... "

That's a choice. One can always volunteer. It seems human nature will always find some way to measure value transfer, or at least determine if someone is worthy of the "free" service. I think we see this in libertarian communities - most people contribute, but freeloaders could be labeled as such.
> All the groundbreaking papers in deep learning in the last decade had code published. So if you're aiming for thousands of citations, you need code.

I am in this field and I would say less than 10% of the top papers have code published by the author, and those are most of the time another 0.1% improvement in imagenet. All the libraries that you generally use are likely to be recreated by others in this field. Lot of most interesting work's code never come out like alphazero/muzero, GPT-3 etc.

A lot of developers are very concerned about UI/UX. Linux just makes it impossible for them to do so.

But even without them caring for UI/UX, the proliferation of DEs, even with common UI toolkits in the Linux world means they spend a lot of time and energy working on bugs that are not true bugs but are artifacts of a UI theme that the developer did not consider while developing their app.

For example, it's almost certain that the unified tooltip in COSMIC will lead to bugs complaining about how users are unable to drag the window by clicking on the chrome. In this case it would be fairly easy for a dev to close the bug because this is such a prominent and obvious difference in COSMIC. But there will certainly be other UI differences that will not be as easy to pin down to being the result of COSMIC's UI changes, and will not be as easy for devs to close.
I think the main reason browsers are so extremely slow to compile is the heavy templating.

But, I agree, I can compile my entire OS including user-space software and desktop environments in about the same time it takes to compile chrome.

Which is scary.

But then again, people want it to do everything (WebUSB, WebGL etc; etc; etc;). So it stands to reason that it's inherently complicated and difficult to compile.

I wonder if the high iteration time hampers development...

You just described the flu and made gates's point for him.

Deaths were front-loaded, there will be fewer deaths in future waves. and many doctors now turn people away from ER because.... it's not the right place to go when you have non-serious covid, and was taking away from their capacity to help other patients.

In short, people just spent the last 2-3 years with a weight of 0.95 on covid and a weight of .05 on everything else, but that was not a justifiable rational thing to do.
> The difference between a language and a dialect is often just politics.

Indeed! It can be defined by loosing or winning a war. If you win, it's a language; if you loose, it's a dialect.

He was also that girl's tutor, which would have made it an abuse of power even if she was older.

No, I agree that this was clearly child abuse. The real stinker in this article is using real abuse to legitimize the swipe at James Webb on the end. The real culture war payload.

(James Webb was falsely accused of doing anti-gay purges based on a misattributed quote, but from this article you'd think he was a pedophile too).
I disagree - more people would see and use the park. The building is for a rarified group.
As a French what I find insane is that I can sorta read it (and I suppose Portuguese can decypher French too), but I do not get what they say at all. Italian, Spanish or Romanian I can, but Portuguese is like totally alien - I wonder how the pronunciation of Latin could derive so much from Italian.

The social contract behind copyright used to be we'd pretend the works of creators are artificially scarce so that they could make their money for a few years. Then the work would enter the public domain.

When was the last time you ever saw that happen? Some work you grew up with enter the public domain? These companies have already made untold fortunes, several times over. So why doesn't it happen?

They altered the deal. Unilaterally. The money people paid them? They used it to hire lobbyists to change the law and rob people of their public domain rights. These monopolistic protections were meant to be limited, they had an expiration date. The corporations managed to extend copyright duration to the point it might as well be infinite. There exists a public domain but no work ever actually ascends to this mythical place. Fair use? Nobody without an army of lawyers would ever dare try for fear of being sued.

Is this the social contract you want people to respect? The one where they get everything and we get nothing? You say my view is one-sided? These corporations are the most one-sided monopolists there are.

The second people stop pretending artificial scarcity is real, it will be the end of them. Look at how Sci-Hub is shaking up the academic journals. Their end literally can't come soon enough.
Interestingly, the past blog posts use singular "I" up until the middle of the post "A Story of Microsuites, and Atrophy" from 21st of September, 2021: it starts with "Let me give you a view", but ends with "We lived there for three long years".

But diagnosing over the Internet, while a fun pass time for the diagnoser (diagnostician?), is very unreliable.
It generally is, but you need to quell the flames from time to time. When it became a liability for Russia, likely from the high profile attacks over the past 12 months, you have to act.

My guess is:

- No one is extradited.

- Sentences, if any, are minimal.

- Whatever data collected by these guys is now in the hands of RU intelligence.

- The smarter/competent ones are recruited.

The raids are also interesting because you don't see the same flamboyance we saw from eastern European carders after their raids. Wheres the pet tiger? And the foreign sports cars? I'm curious if perhaps this was a raid on the lower level personnel.

Or maybe this was completely staged and none of these people are associated with REvil at all.
> Pensions are not relevant anymore. I see no reason to pay a defined benefit pension fund’s employees and expenses when I can simply buy VOO or a target date fund at one of many brokerages for basically free.

These are very different with respect to longevity risk. There are many people who can’t save enough individually for the longest lifespan. (Or the 80th percentile)
But could save enough for the cohort.

Pensions are far superior in this scenario. That’s part of the reason why 401ks make sense for highly compensated, but not the majority.

This is easily the best advice in this thread.
The 1000x480 resolution seems interesting. Maybe this machine would make a good single-purpose device for writing.

Also, somewhat related: Former Debian maintainer Joey Hess famously used a Dell Mini 9 for all his coding [1, 2]. I wonder if the Sony has a better, less cramped keyboard compared to the Mini 9.

Another interesting guy doing valuable work on low-end, underclocked hardware is Nils M. Holm [3].

Myself, I can get most of my stuff done on a Thinkpad T42 (underclocked to 600 Mhz to reincarnate its dying GPU). With the ram-booted Tiny Core Linux, this thing still flies. I'm having a hard time ditching it because of the 4:3 IPS screen and excellent keyboard. I've even used it to produce lengthy radio programs for my country's public broadcasting.

Aside web browsing, there seems to be more than enough software solutions, hacks, workarounds and programming languages for doing valuable work on rather old hardware these days. Really interesting times we're living in.

Then again, might be true that with yesterday's hardware, you're limited to solving yesterday's problems. I guess I'm fine with yesterday's problems in many aspects of life.

> Why doesn't this fall under the CFPB?

Who said it wouldn't? Government action to vindicate consumer rights is generally complaint-based and not exclusive of private rights of action, so a private class action isn't evidence that a thing is not also within the enforcement jurisdiction of a government agency.
Borg will never go away. Even mapreduce wasn't deleted when google announced that mapreduce was deleted.

it just means some number of products that aren't dependent on services that only run in borg and don't share data with cloud can be migrated over. The job will be a shitty one for a large number of reasons, the most important one being, this is the same project that gets kicked around between directors every year.

No doubt. You can tell someone is just looking for a fake argument when they start asking for someone to have memorized an arbitrary URL that is likely a deep path structure and not reasonably memorizable.
