> Ukraine becoming a more successful county like all the other countries that have joined the EU would have made Russians wonder if Putin was holding them back given their closeness to Ukraine and more advantageous starting point.

Yes but this furthers the goals of Western Europe and The USA, regardless of how Ukraine behaves. It just so happens to be an aligned interest with Ukraine. If Ukraine wants to fight off Russia it certainly has the right to, but asking China/India to sanction Russia is like telling them to pay and actively contribute to the war. Maybe they should do that, but that payment is at their cost, for the benefit of Ukraine and NATO.

I'm sure there are plenty of civil wars and atrocities such that the US probably should have interfered more, such as in Myanmar, so one has to wonder why in certain cases (Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine) that the US decides to intervene slightly more.

I'm not saying that's what they should be doing or not be doing, I'm just helping laypeople rationalize why the self-interested approach of certain countries is rational... for their self interest. But then countries aren't people, but they are beholden to the interests of their own people first. The US just so happens to be aligned with the interests of Ukraine, but our interference definitely has self interest motivations too. We just can't go around pretending like China and India not "helping" for our self-interests as some kind of atrocity.

Andy Serkis returns as Gollum in the new audiobook The Lord of the Rings
The reason why the “bake a cake” thing was ever an actual point of controversy is because it centered around an immutable aspect of people; their sexual orientation. There is leagues of difference between denying service due to who they are vs. their behavior.
Popularity has nothing to do with it. There's far more marketing opportunities and the money for concerts is insane comparatively to back when they were relevant, even considering inflation.
Gore did keep counting over and over - but only in certain places. They had a recount. Then Gore asked for a recount of the recount in certain... at least counties, and maybe down to individual precincts. I forget whether he took a third bite at the apple; he definitely took at least two.

Ya, someone should write an article about it to inform voters so that they can make informed decisions or complain to relevant officials.

Used to play a fair bit of MUGEN growing up. I remember waiting years and years to see "the next part" of Kung Fu Man's story...

Also, I want to use this comment to shout out a creator I looked up to in those days: the late, great Reuben Kee. That guy had creative output that I still don't think anything I've done possibly ever holds a candle to. Not sure what the average character looks like these days but words can't describe how...different - polished - just plain old awesome Dragon Claw was. Even his Evil Ken/Evil Ryu made almost every other character you could download feel like an unfinished rough draft in comparison (save for those made by a few other people who really knew their stuff - Phantom.of.the.Server/PotS comes to front of mind as the premier example).

Someone else in this thread mentioned that 99% of web developers probably wanted to be game developers. Messing with MUGEN files to make the game "what I wanted" was one of the earlier experiences I had that taught me that software was not an impenetrable wall and I didn't have to be afraid to "touch anything" - just cautious where relevant.

Haven't thought about this game in years (probably since the height of SaltyBet's popularity). Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

So on one hand vaccination is so important in your view that there should be institutional interventions to try and force us to get it. But on the other hand, you didn't do your part for ths good of humanity because "you kept forgetting"? (Edit, I saw you posted elsewhere saying it was because you are too lazy)

For personal reasons, I got mine right away in an area where it was scarce, and had to monitor availability and at a moment's notice drive and line up for hours somewhere to get it. You are to apathetic to even bother remembering, but think that it's ok for a university to exercise it's power over others to force them to get vaccinated.

Do you by any chance remember a 2D bootleg dragonball game called "Vegetas Wrath"? It was a one player side scrolling beat 'em up, and I think it used sprites pulled from SNES games like Hyper Dimension and Butoden.

I remember playing it some time in the early 2000s when DBZ was big here in NZ (a few years behind the states, as normal).
Right. But they also ignore most of the points and redefine it. It’s the beginning of the article.
The untold secret of the biblical flood is that, after the water rose and drowned everything anyone had ever known, it never went back down. All the water is still there. We just call it the sea now.

It didn't happen all in one week, year, or millennium. But, starting 20,000 years ago, generation after generation found the village its grandparents built washed by waves, and had to move higher and build again. Usually other people already lived higher up, so conflicts arose. Australian oral history still records compacts settling those.

After the rise finally leveled off 8000 years ago, 120 meters upslope and often hundreds of miles inland, the tales came unmoored from personal experience, and shifted gradually, over more millennia, to what we know today.

The whole Persian Gulf had filled in, and the South China Sea, a million square miles below what are now Indonesian islands ("Sundaland") between and around Australia / New Guinea ("Sahul"), off India and Japan, and between Ireland, Britannia and Europe ("Doggerland") were forever gone.

The oldest civilizations we know are uphill from a few of those places, and the oldest rock art we know was painted in the mountains offshore of what was, 40,000 years ago, Sundaland.

Possibly what triggered the beginnings of civilization was the continuous need to adapt to new circumstances, and habit of discovering a new way of life among strangers, generation after generation, over the millennia from 20,000 years ago to 8000 years ago, and then ending, leaving uninterrupted stability.

The Younger Dryas cataclysm 12,000 years ago that wiped out most big animals in North America and darkened the whole world for years after must have had some impact. Gobekli Tepe, the oldest documented temple, was built after.

But Gunung Padang on Java was in use before the water ever started to rise. There were no ice ages there.
Well it doesn’t particularly make sense but lots of policies around covid vaccines don’t make sense. I’m not convinced that making sense is really relevant.

I also wonder if I’m missing something here because as far as I’m aware the cost of getting a booster is feeling a bit rubbish for 0-2 days. Is it not normal for universities in the US to require (non-covid) vaccinations? I know my university required a bunch when I went up.

I changed jobs about six months ago. overall it was a pretty nice place to work, but they didn't pay enough to retain people. they froze raises during the pandemic despite continuing to post profits >30%. I left for a role where I get paid twice as much to work a little harder. the old company countered with a ~10% raise on my way out the door. I do miss my old team, but apparently that company just didn't value my work very highly.

AI for me, not for thee.

Google shouldn't be the arbiter of what's ok or not on the internet. They use AI to take away all human recourse with the company but want to tell others not to use it? It's a pretty laughable position. Good luck trying to detect GPT-3 and the like when you compare with non native speakers of languages. Are you suddenly going to just block them too?

If an AI can generate high quality content, why is that any less than human generated content. Human generate a ton of trash content, it's not inherently better.

Those same models on copilot are generating useful and often good code for me on a daily basis. If someone told me it's not OK to use any copilot generated code as unethical/wrong I'd laugh in their face. It's basically saving me a google search to find snippets/examples of things I wasn't sure of.

Maybe that's the threat? If we have access to AI directly (ala copilot) then I am googling less.
Let’s say you flip the recommendation to “smarten up” math education K-12. Teach Algebra gradually over K-6, do Geometry 7-8. Trig in 9, Calc 1 & 2 in 10-11, and Real Analysis in 12.

What do you think the outcome will be in aggregate? I’ll bet my hat it does nothing to produce better outcomes while furthering the race-influenced class divide. We literally have 4 living generations of people who’s only lasting association with math is “that thing that was needlessly hard and useless.” It’s the education equivalent of peacocking. It says nothing about you other than your family circumstances afforded you ample time to waste. Nobody remembers a damn thing about Trig, Geometry, Formal Proofs, or Calc unless they went on to a STEM field where they kept the knowledge fresh and even then they were still retaught it all in college anyway. But let me tell you everyone remembers the stress.

I say this as someone who has two degrees in math and tutored half my damn class just to get them through trig and calc. High school math is garbage and pointless. “Oh but it teaches you how to think analytically.” The hell it does, the nuggets of creative problem solving are buried in mountains of rote memorization and bullshit trivia.

If you want to raise the tide for all ships I would just do two years of algebra so people actually understand it completely instead of rushing them to the next thing only to flail for 4 years barely keeping their heads above water and then just stop. Then let people who are genuinely passionate about maths (or need it because they want to do calc based physics which would also be optional) opt in to that track, and crucially, don’t reward it in any way except as “nerd extracurricular” so people aren’t pressured into it.
"It's an incredibly rare skill..."

Well said.
> Like, we can say it's because of covid, but something seems a miss to me.

I'm wondering about this as well - it's hard to imagine that this is not part of greater strategy so either all of this is intentional to increase pressure within Chinese society to the point of boiling for some reason - maybe to disrupt markets and world economy even more? Alternatively Omicron indeed surprised them and now when Russia is at war they do not want to deal with COVID and are ready to try to contain it at all costs.
I didn't actually know that the FreeBSD project had to "reboot" - this is very interesting and adds to the "lawsuit" theory.
And with a car you might need to scrape off the snow from the windshields, and make sure your tires are in good shape so you don't hydroplane in rain. Everyone deals with weather in some way. Donning rain pants, some rubber covers over your shoes, and a rain jacket isn't so bad. All that rain gear is still going to be cheaper than even one new tire for a car.

I think it's ridiculous to force healthy college students to get a covid vaccine, and 100x to mandate a booster. Curious if this becomes a flag or 100x downvote, but at some point we have to face reality - covid just isn't that severe for young folks, and the vaccines offer temporary protection that simply doesn't make sense for low risk groups.
That's the point. If it is detectable, it'll get downranked for being low-quality.
That's basically what the Q larp, or realrawnews, is already doing today. If it's profitable to do, it doesn't take a rogue AI to make up nonsense and spread it to the masses.
The short answer is no, the long answer is no, but the really long answer is that everybody pretends that it's 100% safe but I guarantee nobody predicted global warming occurring when fossil fuels first started being used. There will be secondary effects, we just don't know what they are yet
This is a matter of opinion.

I do not find anything ontologically suspicious about uncountable sets.

What I would really found ontologically suspicious would be the existence of convergent sequences of numbers without a limit or the inexistence of continuity, e.g. the impossibility of knowing whether moving from one side of a curve to the other side of the curve will intersect the curve or not.

Even if most programmers are among the people who use the least the mathematics based on real numbers, for most of the mankind the mathematical models that would not be possible without the concepts of limit and continuity have become essential for survival, regardless if they are able to understand them or not.

I strongly dislike the meaningless term "real numbers", which was created as an opposite to the equally meaningless term "imaginary numbers". However what matters are not the numbers or whether they can be counted or not. What matters are the concepts of limits and continuity.

Already Aristotle classified the quantities into discrete quantities and continuous quantities, using a definition of continuity not too different from the modern, even if it was non-rigorous. In Antiquity, what are called now "real numbers" were called "measures", i.e. results of measurement operations, in contrast with the "numbers" obtained by counting.
Before COVID, as far as I'm aware not a single American university required annual flu shots to attend, which is the only kind of inoculation comparable to the COVID shots in terms of effectiveness against infection & transmission or the need for frequent ongoing injections.

Uh no. The old client's chat transcript was using WebView for display with a bunch of custom-fed CSS/HTML/DOM that was built in code. The rest of the app was good ol' AppKit.

The whole chat transcript being a web view thing was one of the main reasons the app eventually got killed in favor of a Catalyst version. There was zero expertise in the team to make all the random new transcript features that the designers kept throwing on the iOS client and there was also no way to reuse the knowledge and code of the iOS team either. Various attempts to rewrite the mac client's chat transcript to native throughout the years failed due to lack of resources and/or corporate bullshit.
As was said prior. It used to be so. It is not anymore, Google is now cold messaging people on Linkedin, they were not doing that. I do not think you look for best of the best people this way.
This thread makes me irrationally angry. Labeling yourself as "the gifted one" is such an unbelievably absent-minded opener and toxic mindset to raise a child on, but your incessant infatuation with your daughter being a mirror image of your own capabilities is, quite frankly, deranged. What's the problem with her? Oh, she's normal? What a pity! Everyone, come gawk at this guy's normal child! Not only did you manage to thwart the chance of horrifying congenital disease or disfigurement, she didn't even get the genius genes!

Completely tone-deaf contributions like this make me hate HN more by the day. What's stopping you from just enjoying life with your daughter, spending time with your growing family, and fostering understanding? Maybe you both like the same episodes of Star Trek, or have the same taste in 90s music. Who knows!

Imagine her reading this in 10 years, working through the most difficult portion of her academic life. Do you think it would inspire confidence in her? Do you think it would make her appreciate you as a parent? Do you think she'd find greater respect for you knowing that you tried turning her into... yourself? This whole thread is like someone watched Gattica but their only thought was "the gene editing part was pretty cool I guess". It burns me up. I have no right to tell you how to live your life, but I should hope you have the same respect for your own kin.
I agree that, in the hands of a hypothetical ideal person, Python should be better than Excel for almost everything. But as my story above shows, even people you'd expect to be experts, seemingly following best practice, don't end up being very close to this ideal person.
That's great, I'll do that now. Thanks!
Any use of energy eventually results in heat; that’s just the Second Law of Thermodynamics in operation.

Setting rmem to just under 2GB is a very stupid thing to do. That means a single TCP socket can consume close to 2GB of memory. You're opening the system up to fairly trivial DoS attacks by doing that. Seeing things like this reminds me that some people really shouldn't be sysadmins.

My response here is the same as what I say to proponents of new nuclear technologies: it's gotta work on a balance sheet, not just in a pitch deck. This isn't a new technology enabling new markets and new kinds of growth here, it's just... electricity. And even as a renewable option, it needs to be able to compete not just with fossil fuel generators with-all-the-externalities-factored-in, but with dams and windmills built with century-mature technology.
