You are correct. Robert Wachter has written a lot on this (see his
The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype, and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine’s Computer Age) and it's a common error to simply blame someone like a nurse for administering the incorrect medicine as opposed to seeing how that situation came to be. Healthcare has a lot to learn from how similar things are investigated in the aviation industry (note: that doesn't mean nurses get absolved of everything, just that even apparently insanely stupid mistakes are often the result of swiss-cheese style errors).
Slack/Discord are just hosted community platforms, I wouldn't put them in the same vein as Facebook/Twitter. Slack/Discord/IRC communities have intentionally curated walls for specific purposes, just as we do in the real world, I think that is fine.

Would love to hear thoughts to the contrary however. It's worth discussing as this is a big problem for an internet hitting critical mass in participation.
Nice. "under-runk" -> urunk. Pronounced awkwardly "uh-runk."
It's technically a propellant - the reaction mass is the spent fragments of each explosion.
I honestly don’t know that many people that still use LinkedIn. I have an account, and most people I know have an account, but I’m not aware of any of them actively using it.

Seems like it’s mostly there for when you need to reach out to folks if you’re looking for a job.

I actually stopped logging in and sending/accepting connections not long after I started my current job (8 years ago).

> I wouldn't say you can "depend on" power corrupting parents.

I see what you mean now. I did not mean to say that we could depend on power corrupting parents ... but now I wonder: how much does it, and to what degree do we normalize it and not see it?

> They need training, not condemnation.

Yes, they are humans too. It's true of most people doing bad things (if we define 'training' very broadly).
Electric and electronic are not the same thing.
Apart from the shitty first link which happened almost 10 years ago and I still regret/think about - I don't think I am making it a worse place. There's a lot of incorrect and biased narratives all over the internet where user-submitted content is allowed. Does it make it any worse than any other user-submitted content? I don't think so.

Do I care? Kind of, that's why I posted this.
Voluntary basis? You're an optimist, I see.

There is no such thing as a dedicated bookmark button on twitter. At least not on my client. Twitter on the web or with their app is unusable for me. The only thing I have to find a tweet again is the star / heart button.
I'm not sure how viable this is. Up to a certain point (probably around Merced), farmers already put enough water on their fields to recharge groundwater. Much further south, is there even enough winter runoff to flood fields? I assumed the watersheds were all dammed up to capture this water for use in the summer.
9216 is the typical supported mtu for ethernet. But earlier iterations of their network used devices whose jumbo mtu length was like 9100 bytes.

Aws uses A LOT of different overlay technologies which are implemented through encapsulation(aka overhead).

To enable cross region vpc connectivity, additional encryption and encapsulation can be layered on top of the existing encapsulation.

9001 bytes was the absolute max they could give to customers and still be able to do packet shenanigans.
If we could just buy out the almond industry

That is true but I think in practice it is too weird to buy out the almond industry. It would be easier to simply start taxing agriculture more money per water used. At some point that would mean that almond farmers and alfalfa farmers would have to plant new crops. Obviously this would be politically controversial, but I think at this point any solution will be.

It's great that California can produce so much food. Even if we had to give up alfalfa and almonds, California would still have farming as a core part of its identity.
Also bought an Ego when we moved into our first home and I love it for all the reasons you mentioned and more. It's fantastic.

The only gas item I still have to keep around is the snow blower as we get a significant amount of snow. Fortunately I really don't run it that much at all over the course of the year. Maybe 5 gallons of gas a year. But when I need it, I really need it.
I felt the same way recently reading about galaxy filaments and walls

This implementation uses set semantics with "and" as the only Boolean operator (Boolean retrieval model) - the dominant paradigm of the 1960s library catalog search systems.

The Lucene library and engines on top (Elastic, Solr) use ranked retrieval, so resuls are scored and returned in order from most to least relevant. For example, the Vector Space Model (VSM) computes the cosine of the vector that represents the query (vector of all query term frequencies, other components 0) with the document vectors (vector of all document term frequencies, other components 0), and there are other models such as the Probabilistic Model (also known as BM25 or Okapi, after the version of the ranking formula used or the name of the software system implementing it, respectively) or DfR (Divergence from Randomness), another Information Retrieval (IR) model type.

Since 1972 terms are weighted with the popular TDIDF weighting scheme (Term Frequency times Inverse Document collection Frequency, Spärck Jones (1972) J. Doc.) and often apply length normalization. I'd argue that these are important ingredients in a minimal implementation (and actually the first Lucene version had them).

Without ranked retrieval there is no guarantee that the most relevant result in a list of 10,000 documents is not returned last.
Asus Routers have served me well over the last 10 years.

Currently using a Asus AX88U with gigabit fiber. Great coverage throughout a two story house.
All of the ships you linked to are operated by Rosatom or its predecessors.

That is essentially a state operator as far as I can tell.
You're saying that it's a guarantee that every single healthcare system (in the world?) will break down because of _sugar consumption_? Seriously?
Why? Playing the devil's advocate here, 42% of the US population is obese right now. Why is it going to be impossible if that hits 60%, or 80%?

I ask this as someone with a BMI of 23 who puts a reasonable amount of effort into not becoming obese or overweight again. The personal benefits of not dying from cardiac arrest at 55 are very obvious, but I'm not clear on why healthcare systems won't be able to cope.
No, you do not get random crap from the GPT-3 API and you don’t have to tune the heat parameter, defaults are generally fine.

You can get a unique formulation each time; this is generally seen as a feature rather than a bug, humans are typically the same (different words, same meaning).

The big difference is that you can also get a different meaning / opinion each time - coupled with the human-like language this is disconcerting and unexpected for many people.

GPT-3 is more understandable if you think of it as sampling an opinion from the internet rather than a coherent entity with its own opinions.
I'm a big fan of ubiquiti; their UDM-Pro has been quite enjoyable to run as my home router. It's not quite as powerful as some other brands but it probably does the best job of blending ease of use with advanced features.
It's hard to get a sense of what the majority is from that, but it seems like there's a lot of ships that are hugging the shorelines and a lot that aren't.
It does. I've helped with college applications to Ivy League where the "volunteer opportunities" are "working summers for minimum wage, looking after my younger siblings and/or helping at the family convenience store".

Those kids got in.

I think the point is to show you offer something more than just being good at school. It doesn't have to be volunteer opportunities or something expensive.
I believe this is intentional. If the ruling class wanted workers to live long, they'd force them to switch to oatmeals, fruits and water, while sugar would be a substance competing in price with cocaine.
This reminded me of a classical example of Chesterton's Fence [0].

> taking away a major monetization strategy (often the only viable one) massively reduces the incentive to create high-quality products and we all end up poorer for those cultural outputs not existing.

Ahahaha, to be quite honest I don't find that argument compelling at all. Profit motives seem to be making software much much worse, not better, compared to what I know is possible. I'm often finding myself reverse engineering/hacking things just to make them usable. From where I'm standing the current system is not doing a very good job. I can often make notable usability improvements in the systems I interact with and IP laws, the main driver of digital artificial scarcity generally prevent me from sharing them. I feel like I'm constantly fighting hostile software that's just trying to extract value from me in some way rather than actually solving my problems.
You might need help.

Saturating arithmetic is not free from problems, although typically better than two’s complement that some languages have settled on. I’d rather it just panicked, to be honest.
To put it in context, are you spending as much time thinking about gas line explosions? Because those happen quite often.

Yes, because there's no good reason to prefer GNU/Linux or the BSDs for security reasons. They're just as bad as Windows and macOS!
Sistem51 isn't a chronograph movement though - and my experience of the longevity/durability of it left a lot to be desired (yes, yes, N=1)

You're right though - not only does it put the price up, it would then beg the question of "Why the extra for a 'real' speedmaster?"
I believe those fields are where there's high demand but not enough supply.

China tech can treat people like shit because there's always someone to replace them. I think the stats were more engineers graduate from China come out than the entire history of USA engineers each year.

When there's high demand, then any place that systematically treats people like shit would not retain workers and die off. Of course, exceptions exist for places that pay shit tons of money.
It’s used pretty commonly if you’re a hiring manager or if you regularly interview people. It’s much more convenient than looking at resumes because of its standardized format.
It might be much like a dentist lecturing you on brushing your teeth.
You’re in there because you don’t. The dentist might resent this, stuck with disgusting idiot after disgusting idiot in their mind. Alan watts says the dentist should make peace with it.
Maybe you know you’re meant to brush your teeth but you don’t remember to, or a tooth fell out after brushing once and you thought it caused it etc.
Some people avoid the dentist completely because of being ashamed of that lecture/disappointment. Then there’s the seeming popular “victim blaming is a hate crime” angle of doing anything more than prescribing something.
Anecdotally, the super rare, in tales: old man doctor, who calls you a dumbass and tells you how it is straight is a treasured item. Various comedians have bits as such. Much like a professor who sees right through your self deceptions and justifications. They want their delusions shattered.
To other people though the insolence and condescension that they perceive from that same person is seen as trash, doctors and professors should of course empathise with me instead of putting me down kind of thing. They don’t want their delusions handled too roughly.
Trash or treasure.
It’s not an even field though because if you did the “wrong” thing, the former doesn’t get the most useful help to them but the latter may try and bring down professional consequences upon thee. Which is probably why the mystical “no heck’s given” doctor is always old/bitter in the stories.
I've got pretty healthy relationships IRL - I find it very difficult to lie to anyone I know, work with or have real life dealings with. It's not compulsive, it's a choice. This is just limited to the internet about unimportant topics. I don't think anything I've done has any real impact on people.

I'd say it's more of a fucking weird hobby (some obscure role-playing?) than anything else.

Appreciate the links though! You're good people.
Clarification, nuclear is used for baseload power generation. It would compete with fossil fuels and hydro. Not solar and in most areas, not wind either. Offshore wind farms may be able to provide baseload power generation, but there are major maintenance issues with them right now.
This kind of "anti-materialist" manic word salad can seem really deep, but there is absolutely nothing there. I never laughed at anyone who bought a Barbie accessory, because I understand that mocking people and calling them brainwashed for having different tastes than you is poisonous behavior that blinds you to your fellow humans. Yeah yeah, you're smarter and more iconoclastic than everyone who bought a Barbie when they were younger, you were probably too busy listening to some band was popular but not too popular and whining about society, you and every other intellectual.
This would and should be terrifying to any mid-career academic. The last thing needed is a complicated solution that solves no direct problem, YET offers plenty of "metrics" that one can attach all sorts of labels to, like "popularity".

Can you imagine some of the minds on academic Twitter holding a poll on article popularity? <SHUDDER> Leave science to the foul-tempered misanthropes, I say! j/k
Yeah. I don't think I can explain how awesome it is to be liberated from a bucket of gas in the garage to make it through the yard. That it also stores nicely and I can use the same battery for a chainsaw and weed eater? Battery powered devices really did get usable while people were not paying attention.
I just get sad thinking about the slow travel/trapped. Maybe someone will figure it out.
Transformers are state-of-the-art for other language tasks - sentiment analysis, question and answering, document summarisation, translation etc.

The shocking thing about GPT-3 was that it was close-ish to state of the art on many language tasks without training for them , using only a prompt illustrating the task was enough.

InstructGPT takes this further.

You are going to have to provide evidence of this. Everything I've heard, every presentation I've seen, everything I'm finding online is that JS and WASM share the same VM implementation on major browsers. Both our arguments hinge on whether this is true or not.
That's fun, when you have the time and want to spend it.
I don't find it hard to imagine.

1. Work for a company that provides signal-giving infrastructure for a variety of companies across disparate industries. Twilio is actually a perfect example.

2. Find someone to work with that already has or is willing to build a plausible history of so-so trades.

3. Occasionally tip this person off that company Y in industry X is about to have a good quarter. Never trade the same company twice. Parallel construct a plausible rationale for the trade based on public market signals if you want to sleep well at night.

4. Don't communicate over easily subpoenaed channels, obviously. The SEC isn't the NSA, basic OPSEC is fine.

5. Profit?

That's why I'm so disappointed by the OP! It's so easy to dream up a situation where they used their access in an effectively untraceable way.
Thanks so much and yes it's something we're planning to add into the results. For the moment thing you can do is use Andi to search websites and go directly to results, ie "go reddit best laptops 2022"
That hits on some of the same notes, and I do think I (maybe?) remember the speaker being female (this one has at least the first half with a female speaker), but I don't think this is the same one. I see no mention of IE in the transcript, no mention of typing dates instead of date pickers, and generally it doesn't seem like it has as much focus on the end-users as the one I remember.
I'm a Postfix guy myself, but I swear I read somewhere that Exim was more popular?
I didn't base what I wrote on my opinion or my personal experience, it's published peer reviewed science. The notion that many psychologists over many decades who have devoted their careers attempting together to understand/explain/theorize about the cleverness that sets us apart from the other apes would have somehow failed to stumble upon your insights seems fanciful.

Movie cinemas are dead to me now. I would never switch back to a shitty LCD. Or even a "good" LCD.

I'm super sensitive to jitter as well, so your information about OLEDs being jittery is wrong.
Diabetes is really rough on the organs. Especially once the kidneys go, you need dialysis 3 times per week and the treatment takes hours. If a substantial fraction of the population needs that treatment, it's going to be rough. Plus the eye surgeries for glaucoma, and other kinds of organ failure.

> A cheap electric cooktop is a lot like a gas stove, except with electric heating coils instead of burners. Better for indoor air quality, doesn’t do that click-click-click thing, but less responsive.

No. Well, yes, a "cheap" electric cooktop that simply produces heat (coil or IR) is worse than burners, and less responsive. But that's not what you want. You want an induction cooktop: safe, efficient, beautiful, and more importantly, more responsive than burners.
A great counter-example: the 2022 BMW i4 M50 uses a lot of parts from the gasoline version, including the "transmission tunnel" aka the thing that protrudes up from the floor in the backseat and prevents the person sitting in the middle from resting their feet comfortably at the same height as the other two passengers
Precisely! Sure, block abrasive assholes, but blocking those who follow them or like their tweets will only serve to isolate YOU from those who might be able to present their view point in a more nuanced and respectable way. I think this can be a very harmful tool if misused.

I learned a lot of valuable things I wouldn't have otherwise had I used a tool like this.
Of all the electric stoves I've used I've liked the open coils the best, although I've never used an induction one.

Now I've a fancy glass top with one burner that takes forever to warm and then blasts through the desired temperature and incinerates the food, and three anemic burners that do very little.

I miss cheap coils.
I agree with 1 through 9, but none of these points explain, how banning the letter "Z" is doing anything that is helpful. Maybe it doesn't.
social gardens, like what google+ could have been.

but greed and internal team politics led to the demise of the project. and this is an outsider's remark by the way. greed because google+ was chasing after an ever increasing monthly active users. internal team politics because of spamming. it made no sense, to me at least, that the same company that gave us gmail could not deal with spamming on google+. spamming has also become rampant on youtube as well.

so yeah, google has been there and abandoned the idea.
True sometimes perhaps, but not in this case. There's really no "paradox", just an interesting observation. An infinitely old, infinitely large, non-expanding universe is incompatible with the stellar density we see. As it turns out, not only is our universe not infinitely old but it is expanding. So-called paradox resolved, a conclusion easily reached the minute it was formulated, which was of course the point.
I’m actually afraid I’m going to click like on something and it’s going to come back and haunt my career for some god awful reason. So much so that I use a script to “unlike” everything after a few weeks.
> It's important that people, especially immigrants, can get into these schools based solely on their test scores

This is very unlikely to happen for East Asians or Indians.

> and not have to do any of the other trivial stuff that demonstrates that they can participate in the society in which they live.

This “trivial” stuff is often not trivial when done well.

- Sports, especially varsity athletics and Olympic sports, has social currency in elite circles. Some folks may not like the fact that this is true, but it’s foolish to deny that it’s true. In some cases, participation in sports actually develops character leadership skills.

- The things some high school students are able to do as “volunteers” can blow your mind. The soft skills that these activities can develop carry over really well to the “real world”. Lots of extracurriculars are BS, but the folks who do the BS ones aren’t getting into elite schools based on those.

- If I understand what you are saying, suggesting that immigrants should not need to have the skills to participate in society is mind boggling to me. Elite schools aren’t just looking to churn out brainiacs (and the real brainiacs are getting in on more brainy stuff than high SAT scores and perfect grades). They are looking to churn out people who will impact society. Honestly, some sort of impressive community involvement in the Indian community (as an example) is something that would be a strong part of an elite school application.
Wow. Have never seen this. Thanks for the link!
This doesn't work for news channels. It is impossible to watch any non-MSM channel mentioning the news without the next recommended video being one of the major American news channels.

The only solution is to use browser extensions which can actually block channels properly.
One hope is that thanks to retro computing at least a lot of the older ideas don't get lost.

It's indeed surprising that there are not more new ideas around. Recent noise is only about bigger, faster and cheaper.
The article mentions an exception to allow mercury use:

“The Minamata Convention on Mercury seeks to eliminate all mercury uses where technically-achievable non-mercury alternatives are available,”

By comparison, plutonium is not particularly toxic. I see no reason a similar treaty wouldn't have a similar exception.
