Ever had somebody really try to kill you? I've had that happen AND I've received both death threats and physical attacks for many BS reasons such as sticking up (as a straight bystander) for the right of gay people to assemble without being subject to physical attacks. I've seen many men, even straight and white, face possible death (such as being stabbed for real and going to the hospital) for standing up to protect other people's right to be free of harassment.

I'll be the #1 person to point out that inceldom is a harmful social movement. My son lost his best friend because his friend fell under the spell of a Youtube commentator known as Wheat Waffles and won't hang out with my son because my son is taller than him.

This harmful movement feeds on the despair of young men who feel completely lost in today's world. This process starts with many boys having no exposure to effective male role models, frequently a father who is physically or emotionally absent, and then facing nothing but female teachers in preschool and elementary school which says in no uncertain terms that "education is a girl thing."

(e.g. if you fix that problem of gender imbalance in early childhood education the other problems of gender imbalance in hiring might be diminished in 20 years. if you don't you are going to be asking the exact same hand-wringing questions you are right now.)

Feminist author Eva Illouz

https://www.themarginalian.org/2016/03/22/why-love-hurts-eva...

describes the difficulty that women find in finding meaningful and committed relationships. The fact that many young men are lost is a major input to that.

As an student on love, relationships, attraction and such I'd be the first one to say it is hopeless to approach anybody working out at the gym (people riding in elevators are less defended then people at the gym) or for a man, in most circumstances, to lead with telling a young women that she's pretty.

To be receiving unwanted attention like that is a burden, but you also need to recognize that many young today aren't receiving attention, wanted or unwanted, from women or men and have no idea what to do about their situation. If they focus on career they will probably be in a much better situation by 35 just as women around that age will start wishing they were getting more attention. Many of them don't know or don't believe that their situation is going to improve in 15 years or that they can endure it... And nobody is telling them this in a way that they'll listen to or telling them anything about how to communicate about their relationship needs.

From eight months of intensively studying this subject, I'd say that this video contains more information about the kind of communication that leads to relationships that both women and men need to know than anything I've seen:

Now, if I just had some idea how to "deprogram my son's friend".
I am a big proponent for an at-cost public option medicare, and always disappointed that it is rarely taken seriously.

That said, only a minority of Medicare funds come from payroll taxes. The biggest contribution is from other taxes. See page 7:

> They tested it on problems from recent contests. The implication being: the statements and solutions to these problems were not available when the Github training set was collected.

Yes, and I would like to know how similar the dataset(s) were. Suppose the models were trained only on greedy algorithms and then I provided a dynamic programming problem in the test set, (how) would the model solve it?

> And yet, many humans who participate in these contests are unable to do so (although I guess the issue here is that Github is not properly indexed and searchable for humans?).

Indeed, so we don't know what "difficult" means for <human+indexed Github>, and hence we cannot compare it to <model trained on Github>.

My point is, whenever I see a new achievement of deep learning, I have no frame of reference (apart from my personal biases) of how "trivial" or "awesome" it is. I would like to have a quantity that measures this - I call it generalization difficulty.

Otherwise the datasets and models just keep getting larger, and we have no idea of the full capability of these models.
Seems like the 4th Amendment already covers the right to use strong encryption.

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, papers and effects shall not be violated by unreasonable searches and seizures
You're begging the question; you are assuming all transactions will happen on chain. That's not reasonable. Most transactions will happen with normal currency, using normal means. This company then needs to track all of that and do the distribution on chain.

And if they only allow people to compensate artists through cryptocurrency, then it's not viable for artists.
I think that’s missing the point. Most movies are mostly forgotten, and the merits of the story and storytelling carry the movie as a thing.

If you pick a mediocre movie in 2019 and compare to a mediocre movie in 1959, the garbage storyline will be the thing you will turn the movie off for.

In my mind, the weakness with CGI overuse is it enables lazy/sloppy practices that don’t scale. Similar to in graphics work where Photoshop is abused to create impossible edits for expediency.

My family has a tradition of watching Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” every holiday season. It’s quaint how you can see the painted backgrounds and stages… the opening scenes feature cardboard bricks and cheesy props. The point of the article is that this era of filming is bland and will look cheesy in the future because of the reliance on tools. You can already see it today - compare the Sony Spider-Man movies to the last iteration - the age is apparent.
Has nobody yet asked it to write itself?

Every rear-end accident I've ever been aware of at a stop sign would have happened whether the person in front stopped for 2 seconds, 5 seconds, or 7 seconds. They were all due to the person in the back not paying attention and not driving safely. Whether the person in the front did a slow 5 second rolling stop or a 5-7 second full stop has never been relevant.
So as a thought experiment, if Autopilot + Human intervention reduced the rate of accidents by 50% vs. just humans after normalization; can we consider autopilot to be adding value?
I'm wondering if anyone develops a spinoff exactly as back in 1992.

You know, it would be interesting to follow the Carmack's route: start from Apple ][ programming for a couple of Ultima and Wizardry spinoffs, port them to PC. Then move to 80286 to make a scrolling engine for a double trilogy, and move up to 80386 to make a Wolfie clone, and continue from there. The point is to use real world machines or emulated env for development. One can probably learn a LOT programming by that way, although much if it is irrelevant in modern gamedev...
I read it that way at first too but I think the reasoning is actually correct. The population of Tesla drivers will of course resemble the overall population of drivers but most drivers are not sleepy/raging/drunks and by extension “most people buying Teslas aren't part of” that group either.

To use an analogy: the average person has 1.9 legs but a product which results in its user having 1.95 legs is not an improvement for most people.
Common Lisp, at least, is also (dynamically) typed.
I don't know. I am a woman who does not have those specific experiences. I happily buy stuff at Amazon, chat with relatives and friends on social media, and is active in some subreddits. I do know several harassment issues where I have received unsoliticed dick picks, been (verbally) sexually harassed, and received lots of creepy messages from strangers on the internet.

Both can be true at the same time.

Maybe believing women would help?
For one, I'm not convinced that the Grafana 8 Alerting API Swagger docs are up to date or ready for the public [0].

I've literally copied an alert's json format, and then tried to post it back and never got it to work.

Here's an example from my bash history:

> curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $GRAFANA_API_KEY" -H "accept: application/json" -d @rule.json some_endpoint/api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules/test1

I spent a solid day trying to play around with this to get it to work. Because of this the alerts are impossible to code review or store in a git source. Which stinks because Grafana's datasource API's would be amazing to use for alerting. But they're either unusable because anybody can change them or the administrator could bork them at any given point (which has happened before), or just undocumented to the point where they are useless.

That's not even to begin on dealing with the "big blob of json" problem [1] that was clearly important enough to be given an entire spot at GrafanaCon, but even Grafonnet is not supported with Grafana 8. There is apparently some CUE way of doing this, but I can't seem to find any official documentation on that.

Anyways, I've moved back to alertmanager for the time being.

edit: is all of grafana labs downvoting the GP? this is very honest and candid feedback here.

Absolutely. Ideally it's a policy problem that's all on management which should be too expensive to dissolve into some megacorp's operating budget.

Discussing how we can make achievable improvements now is also important.
"We bought it but never used it." Hard to believe that one.
Well as a pedestrian or cyclist, I'd like to make that risk judgment, not the vendor of the car that the person passing my bought from.
It costs money to maintain a specialized skilled labor force. The capital investments (human capital and infrastructure) to maintain and run the shipyard would not be required to dig holes.

What needs be recognized is that "allowing" Bezos to do this is not an ideological or engineering question between what is optimal or suboptimal. It's a question of how much confidence do we have in our interventions. Humans naturally engage in trade and acquisitive behaviors. There have been rich and powerful men for many millenia before Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations and capitalism became a philosophy. Commerce is a default, not an imposition.

The question is whether armchair hot takes, politicians, bureaucrats, economists, and ideologues are qualified to make confiscatory decisions against "the wealthy" that will not do more harm than good to society as a result. Our world is a system that is too complex to understand easily, or sometimes at all. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. There isn't mass human misery resulting from this yacht, but preventing the order could lose people their jobs and have who-knows-what consequences. So maybe we should chill.
A more notorious example of the comprehension crisis would be Mochizuki's claimed proof of the abc conjecture. So far fairly few people are willing to claim they both understand and agree with the several hundred pages of 'proof'.
I got hit a few weeks ago while walking my dog (dog was fine). I thought I had just bruised my tailbone so I waved the driver on after a short chat and never reported it. In hindsight I wish I had as it seems like my tailbone was fractured and not just bruised but it definitely happens.
Fast inverse square root was part of the lighting calculations in Quake III IIRC. Nothing so obtuse is required for the simple ray-casting demonstrated here.

IDK about the US, but in France the speed limit is a target speed; if conditions are good (weather, visibility, traffic) you're supposed to drive at or near maximum speed. It's illegal to drive too slow, and there's a specific fine for this.

Nah it's not about them being classics, just widely known examples.

I prefer even old grindhouse trash (that I haven't seen until fairly recently) over the nonstop modern day CGI drenched sequels and reboots.
The reason they "omit" the process of designing the app architecture is that running `mix phx.new` does that for you. Or `mix phx.gen.live` for an existing Phoenix project. Coding a LiveView Phoenix project is identical to coding a non-LiveView Phoenix project, except the module that handles rendering your pages now has additional functionality out-of-the-box.
Here's another fun path I went down: I was wondering why contractions were always marked as misspellings. Wanted to edit the dictionary. Can't do that. Turns out, Microsoft Teams has an undocumented hard-coded link to the dictionary from Chromium builds and uses that for its dictionary. You can turn off spell check, but there's no custom dictionary, and there's no way to edit the dictionary.

I'm convinced that Micorosoft Teams was written by a bunch of interns in three months at the beginning of quarantine so that they could compete for all the work-from-home crowd.
The lockdown strategy pursued by China has been enormously effective, but also quite severe, and economically costly. Not sure its sustainable.

Hypothesis: we are primed to expect ads to pop up, or some other interruption, when we read on phones, and even when those intrusions are held at bay, we have retain the expectation that they will emerge.
If a flawed mathematical paper were used as the basis for what then became a flawed cryptography algorithm, I can see that having impact if the bad guys noticed the flaw first. But yes, I expect examples like that would be comparatively rare.
Indeed, that is not at all what a straw man argument is, go look it up.

Medicare is not at all comparable to the coverage you get with private health insurance.

Single payer healthcare systems have zero or very very low costs to the patient, nothing at all like the deductibles, coinsurance, and out of pocket maximums you find in private health insurance.

You don't really know what you're talking about on several points and it doesn't seem to be worth correcting each one of your misconceptions.

With your paint analogy, it feels like a "you wouldn't download car paint" situation.
The other reason for settings seems to be turning off things that the UI designers insisted on, but which all actual customers hate.

I think the core issue is the partial allowance for anonymity. I don't want to come across as saying an internet without any anonymity would be a better place - I'm quite on the fence and I can see clear problems at both extremes... but if that haters had their anonymity also revoked then I think it'd have a chilling effect on how much hate speech people are willing to put out there.

If you are a notable public figure that calls out election fraud without much to back it up you might face removal from professional organizations or other loss of opportunity but your fame will be enough to crowd fund your continued comfortable lifestyle. If you're a pleb that does the same thing, and gets caught, you'll feel the full force of the law and while some doors in life might open to you out of shared sympathy a lot more doors are going to be closed either over an opposing view point or simply not wanting to pull someone who may be volatile again into close proximity of your company. So I think if anonymity was withdrawn from the internet a lot of these small fry folks would be a lot more cautious about throwing hate speech out so casually since it could significantly impact their lives - and hateful organizations would have a harder time recruiting and growing since people would be a lot more motivated to keep a pleasant outward appearance up. I think there's a fair amount of proof in this from how much more extreme the elderly tend to get as keeping up appearances to maintain your income gets removed from consideration.

And, as mentioned above, there are a whole lot of negatives that come along with removing anonymity - again, I don't know what the right answer here is, I just see that there are obviously problems on each end.
What do you think then is the difference between going from 50th to 99.9th percentile in their other domains? Is there something materially different between ago, protein folding, or coding? (I don’t know the answer, just curious if anyone else does)
The redirect is for the humans.
The page that does the redirect is for the applications, like Slack and Twitter. They will use the meta tags on that page to show a "social media preview".
Nope, dont worry :) I did it our of laziness. I didn’t want to implement a task queue for std::thread-s, so I took TaskFlow, as one of the most famous solutions. You can definitely get better async task management with enough C++ experience and time.
Turbo Pascal is small, fast and has a clean syntax. Rust fits in none of those shoes (yet, I suppose).
That's actually the strategy, yes. It sounds like it might be bad, but...it isn't? In practice, people don't want to take risks that are irresponsible, they want to make money.

I'd also point out that it was not the riskiness of the assets that the government bailed out. It was the complexity of valuation that reduced the short term liquidity in those CDOs and other collateralized and securitized debt products. When they were actually unwound, it turns out the risk was lower than people thought it would be.
To do what? Corporate endpoints? I like linux but they can't. Servers? Already do and should. But 2022 will be the year of the Linux desktop.
Most retail GME investors intend to hold and not set a date or trigger price. That's the strategy, actually.

Institutional investors that got caught naked short selling can manipulate the price and stall but they can't stall forever -- and every single day it gets harder and harder.

Will it go to $10,000? Who knows. There's a price not much above that which would crush world markets to the point where it would usher in the apocalypse. There would be intervention before that happened.

Very few of these GME investors are solely trying to make some money. They see a corrupt market place and they want to take it down. The SEC could have just done its job but it didn't. They could have stopped the naked shorting. They could have curbed the corruption. They didn't. Instead an army (make no mistake) of small retail investors are buying and holding and registering their shares. You may not understand it, but this is war.

And look at the vitriol. Flat-earthers? Conspiracy nut? It's funny because if I buy Netflix because I think the price will go up, no one tells me that. There are no articles saying, "Netflix's growth is over! Everyone sell! Please, God, sell!" Can you imagine the buy button (but not sell button) being turned off for Netflix for a day during a price run-up? Don't be confused. This is war.

If you want a date, let's give it two years. Who knows and frankly the investors don't care.
There was a sourse but I could not find it ATM. It’s fairly simple, people don’t disengage and their driving safety is judged over all the miles they drive + all the situations where Autopilot disengages.

Tesla Autopilot is judged only by the miles driven without disengagement, which is quite limited actually. You can watch Youtube videos to see at what kind of situations Tesla autopilot gives up.

There’s no situation where the Autopilot takes over from the human saying “That’s a tricky road, let me handle it”.
Maybe if you spend your entire day looking at percents, and never get back down to dollars.

That 1% on 50% of the market can be a downright gold mine. Playing it the other way just ensures that bad ideas never get out competed. Honestly, it just takes less work to make something non user hostile. There has to be a perverse incentive somewhere.
It's just one standard, it doesn't mean anything happens to the brick, they probably just stopped testing at that point.
Of course it was. But it was to enhance visuals that were previously filmed with real actors, cars and stuntmen - that's why it looks so real.
> Would you rather be hit by a semi-truck going 1mph or a bike going 28mph?

I'm actually not sure. The initial impact would hurt more with the bike, suggesting that perhaps momentum or something else proportional to velocity (not v^2) is a good heuristic there.

But if I tripped after impact, the bike would do no further damage to me and the semi would be ~1s away from killing me.
An interesting perspective on programs-as-proof is I-forget-his-name-but... the mathematician who made really bold claims, if only you'd study under his tutelage for a number of years to understand this whole new terminology he invented.

With programs-as-proof it really wouldn't matter. It's either "computer says yes" or "compu'er says noooo".

I think you need to clarify what you mean by at rest. You mention browser history but it's not clear to me if you mean that it's encrypted in the browser. If you mean it's encrypted within your data store on your servers, that's great for security but doesn't really address the ad concern. I'm assuming you hold the encryption keys. If that's the case, you can decrypt the users' data in your data store for ad targeting purposes.
There are tons of YouTube channels and creators out there making videos for the expressed purpose of being sexual, and are never demonetized. Sure advertisers can put forward a family friendly image out there if they want. However, using that over simplification on this platform is more than disingenuous it’s revolting. Lets play pretend that’s how the advertising algorithms tailor content.

I’ve been watching YT, Make, and others bully, harass and in some cases actually put Naomi in danger.
I am proud of Naomi, she doesn’t need me to be proud of her.

She is brave.
She dresses how she wants. Idk what you decided to put on this morning but if you’re still wearing it then it was good enough for today wasn’t it?

She works on what she wants, and she is good at it, gives props to others, among a million other talents.
She does good work for her local community and ours.

She stands up to people bullies who get butt hurt and upset because apparently they think they did something there and are surprised to find they didn’t.

Women have been expected to take criticism silently with grace. She matches energy, without stooping down to their level, as we should.

She is a credit to the tech community and we should not be making excuses to continue justifying this type of behavior just because of its dated normality; we have every reason to be proud.

It was not long ago that computer geeks were stereotyped as virgin basement dwellers, who rarely showered; “Remember the 3-2-1 rule”.

She can walk around dressing however she wants where she lives without having to worry over much about something happening to her or people harassing her. I’m not gonna lie I wish we had it like that.

She is a kind, brilliant, caring person and instead of justifying how she’s being treated we should be proud to have her.

Some of these comments, I can’t even.
It could be interpreted that it'd be ok to ban eggs in other circumstances, certainly. The problem is that it's meaning is so ambiguous that you can't properly tell, especially when considering the arms they had at the time of writing were completely different from what we consider arms these days. If the founders said the right to eat eggs is not to be infringes, would that mean the government would be unable to regulate genetically modified eggs? I don't think so.
