I’ll suggest a way of looking at things here. Google isn’t faking research results, creating misleading or false videos or texts about people behavior, sentiments, or world events. Nor is Facebook. Instead, people are. The problem is with the people who produce them in the first place (similar to those who sell fentanyl or have a bag of stolen watches to sell). If those people used the phone instead, should we be blaming Verizon and AT&T? (Hint, they probably do use the phone. Even the Mob used the phone, no one suggested shutting Ma Bell down.) But it’s easier to blame the messenger than the scribe of the messages.

Meanwhile, back to democracy: in what way does the outcome of an election affect the actual votes by the Congress and state legislatures? Lifetime appointments, yes, the D and R tribes pick different ideologues for the courts. It can easily seem like impactful decisions are influenced more by lobbying and money than by retail voters.

I don't see why an audit would make any difference. If you're developing internal software you are free to use the LGPL version without revealing any code publicly.

And if you're developing external software there's no real way you can hide the fact that you're using Qt. They wouldn't need to audit you.

I believe gwern deliberately did not go for nanobots because they're kind of unrealistic, or at least have a reputation for being implausible, on a purely physical level. As such, centering AI risk around nanobots would have taken away from the actual threat, rampant intelligence.

Therapy could be harmful if you have a bad therapist. Therapy as a practice though, I can't think of any reason why it would. I don't think it's ever a question of do / do not go to therapy but finding a therapist appropriate for you.

1. Privacy legislation existed in European countries for years (and often for decades)

2. GDPR was in the works for several years, and when it went in effect, companies were given 2 years to become compliant

3. GDPR went into effect 5 years ago, and has been enforced for 3 years

So please stop with the "poor companies could not foresee this, and didn't have the time to implement this"
There still isn't a standard for what 5G is. Unlike 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, which all have very specific technological definitions, 5G could be edge computing, MIMO, small cell, beamforming, and so forth. No one has actually created guidelines about what it is.

At present, it seems any kind of 5G service you can actually buy is at best just new frequency spectrums that the government auctioned off in recent years.

It's not going to be 'search' that displaces search, it'll be impossible. It will be made irrelevant through something else.

For example, someone comes up with a 'Finder' thing that's barely a comprehensive directory of the internet, and that, along with 'site search' aka for FB, Amazon, does better for the use case.

Most people are not 'searching' the web, they're often typing URLs or searchers for things they want answers to.

When I type a technical thing I'm really just searching 'stack exchange'.

On mobile, we use apps, which are different than pages.

Something I pick on with PHP is because requests are so isolated, it doesn't have a good story for pooling SQL and HTTP connections. Its model really limits you when it comes to sharing resources between requests.
1. Lower your expectations. It’s normal to not be able to get along to strangers, more so with someone you have no common interest / background.
2. People mostly only care about themselves, so it’s ok if they reject/ignore/rude to you. Most likely explanation is that they’re having bad day or just couldn’t help you.
3. Don’t try too hard. In socializing, it’s better to try out many times with low effort rather than trying to make a big shot.
You need more SNR (power), more BW (spectrum) , or more 'channels'. 5G solves this using the last dimension, channels. Beamforming allows the same spectrum to be reused by allowing for spacial separation, i.e. use the same spectrum 5 times by sending 5 beams to 5 physically sperare locations. MIMO is layered on top of this ans uses multipath effects to offer more bandwidth to a single user by taking advantage of the fact each path is its own channel. No violation of the Shannon limit for sure, but very smart and computationally intensive techniques to skirt around the issues of the single isotropic or sector antenna of old.
It's by far the best desktop GUI toolkit. By a very wide margin.

The main downside is that realistically you have to use C++, and it doesn't run nicely on the web like e.g. an Electron app would (something like Slack for example).

Oh that's a nice way to put it - members of an organisation pretty much are its neuron bundles, ones smart enough to introspect and reorganise themselves.

Though I think the organisation's intelligence might be more parallelised/horizontal than vertical, i.e. it can solve many problems simultaneously (manufacturing, accounting, strategy, R&D, HR, etc.), but not necessarily combine most of its members to solve extremely complex single problems (say, a mathematical one).

> Maybe, but TikTok is an order of magnitude above other social media apps when it comes to learning what you like.

I suspect that is because TikTok has different goals compared to other social media companies. Their aim (right now) is to serve you better and/or more relevant content. Whereas other social media companies’ goals are to serve you ads and what do they know about you will not be as apparent to you. I would argue Facebook probably knows even more about you, more than just preferences, but social connections etc from its subsidiaries such as Instagram and WhatsApp.
That search you suggested doesn't appear to exist in the app. You mind telling me how to access this data through the app if it's so easy?
Recently tried replaying portal 2. The graphics aged just fine over the past decade; unfortunately the same is not true of the writing and humor. Has a very reddit-circa-2010 vibe. I guess comedy is one of the more difficult fields in which to create a real classic, because of changing social mores but also because most humor relies on novelty. Few video game memes have been beaten to a more thorough pulp than “the cake is a lie”, companion cube, etc.
After reading their licensing that is now obvious. There is a group at my megacorp that ises it heavily from windows and they pay for tons of licenses. I'm not sure why. Unless they are static linking some of the gpl v3 modules and don't want to release code, I don't know why anyone would select the commercial qt license.

You're qualifying my response as "hostile?" I guess we're getting into fluid definitions, so sure :) I'm not sure calling someone wrong accompanied with an emoticon qualifies as whimsical, either.

All that said, "correct" in language is "incorrect" tomorrow. That's how it's always worked.

If I learned to accept "entitled" as meaning "given a title" I'm sure we can all handle a fairly terse and parseable usage for performant.
Agreed.

This was a hard to understand article because of that note. The author appeared to switch between G as in Gbps and G as in generation multiple times without clarification.

Would have been way more clear if they just used Gbits instead of G when they meant Gbits. (or Gen instead of G).

>>I think these outliers demonstrate an inherent flaw in capitalism (among others) where power imbalances dictate capital accumulation.

These outlier situations have properties not present in normal circumstances, regardless of the power imbalance in those normal circumstances. Normal circumstances mean that Apple, despite being worth $2.8 trillion, can only induce me to purchase its product, if it is the best option for me amongst the entire set of options globally available to me. The harmful/coercive effect of the power imbalance vanishes in a free market, because by the ruleset of the free market, Apple cannot use its power to do anything except provide a better quality product for a lower price.

>> The rich get richer and the poor get poorer because the rich are in a better negotiating position so the poor must take what they're given.

The poor don't get poorer in a free market.. We've seen wages grow over 20 fold since 200 years ago, in 1822. This is after adjusting for inflation, meaning a greater than 20 times material improvement in people's living conditions. The places in the world with the highest wages are precisely those which adhered to the free market ruleset most closely, and for the longest duration of time.

> but now you have to also learn a whole language

While you’re not wrong, it’s a very American conceit to make second languages into this mountain to climb. Plenty of countries teach ESL or some other world language and then expect most students to invest about as much energy into a third language as the typical American invests in a second.

In Japan you might go to college with two years of German and five years of English. From my limited sample the third language was often a “where would I like to vacation” question.

> Records is what Java calls data classes which kotlin had since 1.0... Most of the other things Java has been doing are just catching up.

My criticism is within the context of pron's quote:

>> It seeks to be a low-overhead language, i.e. provide abstractions that don't add overhead over the target platform, give access to all platform capabilities, and at the same time target multiple platforms... over none of which does Kotlin exert much influence

By "catch up" I'm referring to the effort required to maintain interoperability and feature-parity with the target platforms. Although Java may be behind Kotlin's sheer number of features, when Java adds one of those features (like Sealed Classes or Records) it often comes with changes to the JVM itself. JetBrains has a choice to either update their feature to match or be compatible with the JVM implementation (e.g., adding the @JvmRecord annotation), or risk breaking their goal of interoperability.

What about when a platform adds net-new features, like Java is planning to do with Pattern Matching? Discussions relating to pattern matching in Kotlin have had little activity in recent years[0] and it isn't clear whether they're planning to implement it or not. Even if the plan is to wait until JVM pattern matching is stable, they'll still need to implement it for other platforms; and if they don't implement it, there will be a feature gap that may lure some devs back to Java.

Hi, fellow spleenless person. Make sure to look into the meningitis vaccines, too; there are multiple types of those now, and some only came in the market within the past few years. Also, if you give birth, your doctor may want to put you on prophylactic antibiotics while in labor or shortly thereafter.
Some of that is limitations in the medium, he pushed C++ pretty hard outside its comfort zone implementing the STL.

Some of it is conventions of the medium, like the iterators; it's just the C++ way.

You copy (or move, there's a need for the distinction in C++) from ranges to iterators, it's just a more flexible perspective.

C++ has a string library, you may not like it but I'm pretty sure it exists.
I feel saddened by the pseudo halo Apple software gets to be associated with for no valid reason. While it’s the opposite. Apple software is utterly mediocre and more or less it has been so.

What Apple has managed to do is a disgustingly closed ecosystem and a genius racket of a marketing and has built an aura around itself. It’s so obscene that when it brings a feature on its phone that was available on Android for years, and was released on Android without any fanfare - merely as an essential feature, Apple pushes it, and the media, bloggers, and many users lap it up, as if Apple just figured out perpetual energy.

I seriously doubt the scene will be any different if Apple tomorrow announces a mechanical trolley for $9989 and says it runs on Apple exclusive TrueWheel™.

It feels such journalists and bloggers live in a different universe and no I’m not even talking about Apple shills (some of them have become “critic” of late; jg et al), I am talking about the ones who are probably not shills.

Maybe it's because Ubuntu LTS, currently 20.04, is on 3.8.
have you tried using black hole or sound flower?

once you have a virtual audio interface installed, you can use the built in audio/midi editor, create an aggregate device, and use that from inside QuickTime.

it's not super straightforward to set up, but once you have it set up, you can route audio anywhere and record that easily with QuickTime.

using an extension for virtual audio, for a system designed for routing audio isn't really a "hack", and I'm kind of surprised that with the audio routing already available in macOS that it doesn't ship with a virtual audio device out of the box.

the worst part is that most Mac owners don't know about "Audio MIDI Setup.app"

> If their slaves were treated so well, where are the descendants of their sub-Saharan slaves?

If you are talking about the middle-east, the slaves were obviously traded, worked till dead or freed and sent back. (Even today, the number of foreigners working in the GCC outnumber the Arabs by 2x-3x, and while the middle-east welcomes foreigners to work in their country, none of the GCC countries give citizenship to them.)

Islamic empires were on a wane and the collapse of the Ottoman empire sealed its fate. Ofcourse, the Christian vs Islam political narrative was instrumental in this, and obviously there is a lot of exaggeration on this end by western historians, especially after imperialism peaked. The west was very much concerned if the old empires would rise again, and clash with the west, and thus created a lot of political propaganda to show themselves as more civilised and knowledgeable than the east.
Well shoot, I've never thought of it that way. I guess it's perfectly reasonable that they've extrapolated my behavior out so they know when to raise the price of items I intend to purchase. Yep, not underhanded at all.

As far as joins go, in T-SQL I mostly use INNER JOIN and LEFT JOIN. I've rarely, if ever, used a RIGHT JOIN. I suppose a RIGHT JOIN is reverse thinking, which is why I don't use it. A FULL OUTER JOIN I've never had a use-case for I think.

Then we have CROSS APPLY, which I've used once or twice. And finally CTEs which I use a lot, in addition to widow functions.
"Seems believable at first. But also grotesque."

Depends on the severity, frequency, and reason. It might not be that grotesque. For example, I was spanked when I was bad. Does that fit the definition?
3G and prior "cellular" systems were inefficient because they can't reuse the same frequency in adjacent cells. See the diagram here

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/frequency-reuse/

Here you have 7 different frequencies used in different groups of cells.

In 4G all frequencies can be used in all the cells. If you are between two or three cells you are probably receiving a signal from (and being received by) multiple cells and they are sharing the RF baseband to make it possible. That plus a big bag of tricks let 4G achieve radically better spectral efficiency through "spatial diversity"
