Everyone has a right to criticize China, it's a very disingenuous idea that you need a flawless past to levy criticism at an obviously bad actor. The CCP would love the advance that idea because it knows that practically no country, especially any country of importance, is perfectly innocent which I guess means no one can criticize anyone huh? Very convenient for China's abuses.

The West continually makes mistakes and is held accountable by its liberal democracy. Even anti-BDS laws which are IMO as deserving of criticism and as anti-liberal as anything else, they are moderated by democratic institutions and democratic laws. Anti-BDS laws are controversial even in the US where it happens on the provincial level. It also receives parliamentary condemnation and oppositional lobbying across the West in the US and powerful US-allied countries like France and Germany. Practically all US anti-BDS bills at the Federal level were either symbolic or failed to pass. Israel is hardly untouchable, it's controversial to the point of partisanship in the US.

And you'll have to elaborate on "targeting" by intelligence agencies. That's a pretty broad term. I'll tell you what China means when they "target" nonviolent foreign resident dissidents in Operation Foxhunt. They contact them to tell them that they have three choices: they can commit suicide, or they can return to China to be apprehended, or they can live knowing that any family they have in China will suffer violent consequences.

This is a perfect example of how authoritarian sympathizers twist and equivocate common criticisms so they can construct a false equivalence between imperfections by liberal democracies with the much more severe abuses by autocratic regimes like China and Russia. Not only does scale matter, it also matters that liberal democracies have the capacity to change. The US in particular receives criticisms from allies and non-allies alike, its disastrous second Iraq war has weighed heavily on American democratic politics and its citizens influence new behavior like withdrawing from Afghanistan. China has the right to engage in such criticism as well, it does not have the right to deflect its own criticisms and it does not have the right to dismiss its criticisms without demonstrating a capacity to change as a totalitarian illiberal democracy.
How do you know that about trigonometry or precalculus?
There are market places for selling items, both for in game cash and real money. I agree that it’s a legitimate criticism that it’s not in actual game itself, but then you develop weird incentive structures like FIFA’s pack openings taking precedence over actually playing soccer, which also feels bad, and potentially more exploitative (if I just hit this rare car I could turn a profit!!)
How to Read Java: Understanding, debugging, and optimizing JVM applications
I've always found the lack of context on slavery's history amusing. In our time, it's considered one of the greatest sins. However, if you look just a bit back, it wasn't exclusive to the English-American line, as the twitter take goes, but was was commonplace across human history. Where you found people, you found slavery.

If (and mind you I mean if), the OP here is correct that the British empire had a sizable impact on ending slavery, then they deserve that credit regardless. If they didn't, the that's a far stronger argument to be made.
Sure, if you're going to completely delegate the curation to the platform's black box.
I was going to post a response to this arguing that it isn't really culture jamming, but I'm not 100% sure.

A great deal of 4chan "schizoposting" reads (to me) like normal shitposting mixed with with the "chaotic energy" of actual sufferers of schizophrenia, like Terry Davis. There's also an incel/"NPC" element, where people suffering from extreme isolation de-realize the others around them to rationalize their perceived harms. Mixed together, it's less "dis-communication" or culture jamming and more a confused complex of digital alienation. But maybe that's just alienation under capitalism, and brings us right back to culture jamming.
Coincidentally, Russia's history for censorship starts with banning the popular-back-then neo-nazi party[0]. 20 years later, you get a prison sentence for questioning the "special military operation in the Ukraine".

I appreciate the expert opinion. Along a similar vein, from https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/quantum-computing-hype-bad-sc... :

> Crazy headlines abound: "quantum computing will change life as we know it," "quantum computing will solve global warming," "Quantum computing will revolutionize science and industry," etc etc. These statements are not based on any research or reality at all, they are not even wishful thinking. The number of known quantum algorithms, which promise advantage over classical computation, is just a few (and none of them will "solve global warming" for sure). More importantly, exactly zero such algorithms have been demonstrated in practice so far and the gap between what’s needed to realize them and the currently available hardware is huge, and it's not just a question of numbers. There are qualitative challenges with scaling up, which will likely take decades to resolve (if ever).
People didn’t have McDonalds and cars ages ago. Barn-raising, (manual) farming, and hunting are hard energy-intensive work. Our calorie output required to survive dropped while the calorie inputs available cheaply dramatically increased. That is all part of “overcome metabolic efficiency.” :-)

A tangential question, so I apologize in advance but how did you build your fortune? I am curious if it was not through entrepreneurship.

I wish Dropbox was actually competitive. It is $20 more per year than Google, much slower speeds and caps, 2GB size limit, etc. The only people picking Dropbox are those that are naive or are connected to the brand.
That is true, and I think that is one of the mistakes I made before the negotiation started. At some point, I told the recruiter —“I know many engineers want to work at Apple. I will carefully consider any offer you extend.”—. I told them that because I was not sure if they were really ready to extend and offer or not.

> Also, apple offers stock last I knew anyways, which can be quite attractive in some circumstances.

For the sake of clarification, USD $228k already includes the annual bonus and the average (hypothetical) vested stock, so the base salary is actually much lower than that. Banks and other entities do not care about your stock grant or annual bonus, they only care about your base salary, so qualifying for a good mortgage will be an interesting challenge.

I like that this keeps the search history as a conversational history... its always bothered me that google resets everything whenever I run a new search vs. recognizing I'm on a journey.

I also like that without ads you're able to provide extracted answers to questions like "what's the best tv to buy".

I'm going to have some fun and play with this tonight. Cheers for coming up with a unique UX for search!
We humans tend to look for patterns in text, and tend to interpret them based on their experiences with other humans.

Years ago I wrote a stupid simple program that responded to typed in remarks. Each typed remark would be added to a cache of remarks. The program then parsed the new remark into words. Then it looked through the cache to find an old remark with several strings in common with the new one (else a random one), and replied with it. (It also marked the old and new remarks as 'used' so it didn't repeat itself in a session.)

So, any apparent intelligence was human. When people typed stuff in, they tended to do their best to interpret the reply as intelligent. They might puzzle until they thought they 'understood'. Several people got emotional; some of the regurgitated remarks were not so nice. They might then add their irritation to the cache!

One day, with several people watching, it took quite a while but found no good replies to a question, and replied: "I like big tits." That was the end of the demos.
Yes because it's already started when you load a page.
...and it was $16k for a 4-year degree. How long does it take to make $16k now? For a mid-range programmer? Only several months.
Thank you!! It's not deterministic, and it's retrieving live content in real-time with each search, so there will almost always be variation if you do the same question multiple times in a row.

I love both these answers. The GPT part of the model has picked up some sort of symbolic representation of humor in the question and results, and is riffing on it clearly. Each time the search results fed to the generator are a little different :)
I was fortunate enough to visit Jef Raskin while the Cat under development. In his office was a fold-out futon chair and electronic piano. He even played a piece. Humane indeed!

He recommended "The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction" (Card, Moran, et al) From that point forward, all roads led from Fitt's Law.
Here's another way to classify this mistake. Usually, engineers first get good at "technology". Then they learn to get good at "product". Somewhere in their careers, they learn about "distribution". And then they invariable wish they had learned these lessons in the reverse order: Start with the distribution opportunity, devise a product around that opportunity, and as a last resort, some times, you need some tech to build that product.

I find the distribution->product->tech pipeline a more constructive way to think about building a business than "product-market fit", or "starting from a pain point". And it's a lot more productive than the reverse tech->product->distribution pipeline.

In this example, it seems they fell off immediately, because the responses were only coded in response to questions asked in the way the author pre-published, and did not appear when the same question was asked in a slightly different way, which the GPT-3 authors did not have the opportunity to prepare for well ahead of time

I am rather skeptical it is a matter of software or any tool for that matter with problems like this.

Similar to Paul Grahma's design paradox: " I call it the design paradox. You might think that you could make your products beautiful just by hiring a great designer to design them. But if you yourself don't have good taste, how are you going to recognize a good designer?" (http://www.paulgraham.com/gh.html)

As long as people (including the business owners, customers, the rest of society, the rest of the world, etc) don't recognize the cost or don't care sufficiently even if they do recognize it, the best tool still won't have any effect nevermind solve.
Usually, that's the critical problem, not the tools.
And of course, tools won't fix people either.
Software is useful only if used by the right people in the right way, which is usually much later.

I'm surprised this is not making more noise.
I would probably manually update the enum and the corresponding match statement. If possible, I'd write a test to check that the two don't get out of sync.

I'm not too familiar with Rust so I'm not sure if the test code would be simpler than the macro solutions or the hack, but I think it would be.
Yes I have dealt plenty with horses, cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks and others. My contention is that you would be surprised how quickly animals would adapt. The notion that we are doing them a favor by keeping them because otherwise they would not survive is nonsense in my opinion.
It's not illegal if it's not actually tracking you. The ones installed for repo purposes on sketchy car deals aren't secret, the customer signs paperwork acknowledging their existence. At that point they don't have a lot of choice, of course, their options are limited by circumstance.

Hi there, the scanners are calibrated through xsane. However, I don't have any ICC profile provided either by Canon, or from xsane. I'll have to check the provided firmware or software packages from Canon, to extract any ICC Profiles.

So far though, the quality given by only doing 8-bit has been more than acceptable for myself and my family; everyone in the family has been fairly excited and glad with the results.

With any future projects where I strongly feel the need for accurate archival, I'll definitely be using better hardware, and I can only hope whoever is paying me to do that would provide me with a nice piece of color calibration hardware.
An alternative solution might be to leave Twitter. Talk to ppl irl. Read the news paper and I mean the paper (digital edition is acceptable too) not the website/app.
If you don't have any legal hurdles you should consider making it open source or running a freemium version (limited by number of patients, medications, class/popularity of medication, etc.). I could imagine a few doctors and armature researchers using it and perhaps a small could be converted to paying $10/month. At $10/month you only need ~350 people to pay a years subscription to break even depending. Certainly depends on how more development is needed and what the operating costs look like.

Another option is to augment the product to allow consumers to track their existing medications. Using their demographic data + current prescriptions, you could then used their self reported drug efficacy to recommend possible alternatives.
There are intelligent people though that don't do well on standardized tests (or at least don't get top tier results). I agree that standardized testing is a good metric to get a general idea of aptitude, but I think it hugely fails in appreciating people who are able to solve 'non-standardized' problems. And those are actually the people who should be placed in top institutions

Words of wisdom
Interesting article because it talks about all the things that happen with the use of large language models on their own. Large language models are amazing at mimicry and composition, and are a key part of getting to great Q&A.

But on their own they have no idea of factual correctness. That's what excites me about what we're doing with Andi. The answers are not only well generated, but do well on factual questions, especially given this is the first day live. There are some non-GPT models we're using that do well at this too.

Are you doing much with language models at Kagi yet? It's a fun area to work on.
Rust doesn't use vtables by and large - like I said it's a technique for implementing dynamic dispatch (call a function with a different implementation based on the type of one argument, aka single dispatch). Notably, Rust does not rely on it for most cases (Rust uses type classes aka traits which are monomorphized - unless you explicitly use the `dyn` keyword to use a vtable implementation that incurs a slight performance penalty).

Not sure what they have to do with signed distance fields. It's just an implementation detail for single dispatch. What's the analog?

What about radical transparency: public companies should have constantly visible numbers to everyone. Eliminate the advantage and equalize players.

It's the disparity in revenue information, chunked into quarters, that causes the problem. Some people feel entitled to have early access but that's the problem.
Yes, I understand that work is involved, but the energy involved in storing and altering information is not the mass equivalence this paper is talking about. That is a separate question Vopson addresses, the one which ignores the economic factors, and the one that relies on simple mass-energy equivalence. It's some supposed "information catastrophe" that just isn't possible.

But the radical claim of this paper, and the one I am addressing, is that information, in and of itself, contributes a mass component to a storage media regardless of the media involved. That's a completely different proposition.

All baryonic matter has an information component. But the theorems concerning information stipulate that information is never destroyed. Entropy does not destroy it either. This paper violates the central theorem of information science. That is why "erased" here is meaningless. Entropy state is irrelevant.

Further, it violates the conservation of mass-energy. The work required to "erase" a given medium is the same as the work required to record information on it. Yet this paper claims the one process adds mass, and the other removes it. The whole thing is just nonsense.

The article claims "one proposed communications network using the technology could result in hundreds of metric tons of additional mercury"

And searching for mercury released by coal burning comes up with 50 tons in the US, and around 250 tons/year worldwide from all sources.

I have a hard time believing that figure for the satellite, but if true, it's actually significant.

Edit: Seems like an ion engine uses around 1 ton of propellant. So, yah, I guess banning mercury for this, really is significant.
Probably exactly why. Thanks for responding.
Does anyone know why AWS's jumbo frame MTU is 9001 octets? Every other system I've worked on used an MTU of 9000 for jumbo frames. The only reason I can speculate is to force the use of Path MTU Discovery when using Direct Connects (similar to how Microsoft added spaces to common paths to force correct filename handling).

Graduate admissions processes are very different from undergraduate admissions in exactly that way though. Undergraduate admissions are trying to select on a pretty wide definition of "successful", basically trying to find students likely to graduate then make the university look good. Graduate admissions care about one thing only: how good are you at generating published research in the department you're applying under. It's much more similar to a job application than an undergrad application.
Agreed. I stopped playing that yesterday when I realised the level for my city had nothing to do with my city.

I hate to be so blunt, but almost everything you said is partially or completely incorrect.

> WASM does not run on the same VM as javascript

Except it does in both Chrome and Firefox, which are the vast majority of VMs out there in this space.

> it's not 'stable'

Once again, completely untrue. Because it runs on the same VM, it's as stable as JavaScript, which is extremely stable at this point.

> WASM is not 'faster to start' and it's not even 'fast'

It's effectively instantaneous simply because it's using the same engine as JavaScript, which is already loaded. I'm not talking about particular app startup up time, as that is not an aspect of the engine. I'm also not talking about interop performance, as that is unrelated.

> Targeting more languages'? Really? ... not really

Once again very wrong. Because LLVM targets wasm, you've got many many languages that are supported. Some examples: C/C++, C#/. NET, Rust, Java, Python, Elixir, Go
It isn't. Go for it :)
