People ARE starving.
There is plenty of evidence of this, not everything has to be outlined in the OP's article. This is like how the Russian people are saying there's no proof the exact tanks which killed civilians in Bucha were Russian, since no one has been able to go in and verify the exact tanks in person yet, so therefore it didn't happen.
Your responses in this thread are really giving off wumao vibes.
Use logic. Do you actually believe the communist party in China has the resources to lock up 25 million people in their apartments and provide food and services for all of them over night? Of course people are starving.
I hope you pull through this, I would likely be in a similar position as I don’t stock food up often. Also ignore the GP he’s all over the thread defending hyper aggressive lockdowns like Shanghai is
doing and accusing the blogger of using the term “identity politics” as a “dog whistle” which is borderline paranoid (the kind of people you would expect to obsessively fear COVID and back extreme measures).
Well, it is proven. Look no further than all the lockdowns that occurred during this pandemic. Lockdowns do prevent transmission of disease.

The question is more whether it is a net benefit if infections surge again as soon as the lockdown is lifted. And the answer is of course that it's not black and white.
Indeed. People who repeat this absurd meme either have a terrible memory or are just flippantly cynical. Computers 20 years ago were very slow compared to how things are today, this is especially true of professional software like compilers, digital audio workstations, video editing, photo editing, 3d modeling as well as common utility software like file compressors, codec converters, disk searching tools etc, but also gaming, video playback, and don't even get me started on internet speeds. It's just flat wrong.
Once a large bureaucracy gears itself up to solve a problem, it will keep trying to solve the problem even after it’s not a real problem anymore.
Try reading some of the older, classic papers. I think those have taught me a lot about the fundamentals.
I am not sure why you keep repeating the talking point that Americans don't want legal and skilled immigration anymore without any evidence to back up your claim because as Gallup poll [1] suggests that dissatisfaction with immigration levels (legal or illegal) was on a downward trend and hit an all-time low last year.

[1]: https://news.gallup.com/poll/389708/dissatisfaction-immigrat...
I guess it was the undisputed no. 1 in 1989 because it already had a surge of immigrants by then. Heck, America was made by immigrants if it comes to that.

I'm not saying it needs me, but generally standing strong at the top has its cost - to have a rock solid administration and to keep bringing the cream of the world to work for them. There couldn't have been such a boost possible otherwise.

I feel this is a really bad example. If I'm watching one episode a week of course I don't mind watching the opening theme every single time.

If I'm watching six in a row of course I'm going to skip it every time.

A recent example of this is Peacemaker. It is a made-for-streaming show that was on a weekly release schedule, and it has one of the most fun opening sequences I've ever seen. Watching it weekly, I watched the opening every time. But one week I skipped it so I watched two the next week, and of course I skipped it on the second episode that day

Interesting... do you have any more information on this? My impression from studying this was that that dissolutional karst would probably not last the hundreds of millions or few billions of years kind of timeframe that separates us from when liquid water was prevalent on Mars. However, I'm not sure if that impression is based on good assumptions -- the oldest caves on earth are thought to be about 340 million years old but the processes that act to remove caves on earth are probably far more active than what goes on on Mars, so maybe there are caves on Mars from a wet period that still exist. However, my impression from working with people on mars and moon cave projects is that the community generally thinks that the entrances that have been found are lava tube collapse features, or related to impacts or small-scale tectonism.
In grad school we definitely had decent labor standards though. I mean, I was worked really hard, but I can't say I was worked any harder than I was in private industry. And the pay wasn't great, but it was more than enough to support myself, and the understanding has always been that you get free tuition as part of the deal, which is pretty great, so that makes up for a lot of the pay deficit. I could see better pay for students with families, but other than that I think grad students have it pretty good these days.

An example of a specific labor standard you'd like to see implemented would be welcome.

What about survivor bias here? Many gay men died of AIDS in the late 20th century, which might affect the numbers significantly.

In any case, I think the right interpretation is that more people are comfortable with reporting their sexuality truthfully and people are more open towards exploring their sexuality.
Yeah. I mean if it had a purpose it has been served. Why don't they use all that massive CCP infrastructure to have zero tolerance for not getting vaccinated instead? It's ludicrous.
I'm fairly certain that you could probably write and publish a decent quality paper yourself. But why would you, when industry is so much more lucrative? There are many competent people in CS Academia, but their motivations tend to be quite different from the average engineer, and they don't have access to the same resources or expertise that tech giants or startups do (outside of internships and fellowships that are commonplace for visiting researchers who spend a season or two working at a lab)

we were listening to radio (with 4 and 6yo) and host mentioned something about prostitutes (regarding TV show)

so my kid ask me what is prostitute?

someone who does sex for money

obvious question followed, what is the sex?

it's exercise done by adults in bed when they wanna have baby or sometimes even when they don't want because they just like the exercise

kids lost interest after that, now tell me, did I lie? by all accounts sex is pretty good calorie burning exercise

btw. I told them already like year before that how is baby done, that penis goes inside vagina, then sperms go from penis to egg inside and there will grow baby, didn't even bother with some bees and other crap, but dunno how much kids remembered because they were not interested about it. we also watched already around that time amazing (dubbed) TV show Il était une fois... la vie (Once Upon a Time... Life) though I think it's more suitable for old children, I liked it when I was in primary school

> The fact that the upper reaches of a dome are almost all wasted space...

Not psychologically, it's not. You might say the same about much of the inside volume of a cathedral; useless space! And yet, we make sure they all have it, because we value it.

> because the pressure difference between inside and outside will explode your habitat before any self-healing mechanism kicks

No, it won't. It's (at most) one atmosphere worth of pressure. ~14 psi. A small hole in a tire doesn't immediately burst it, and it's under significantly more pressure.
Haven't used DALL-E, but I know with VQGAN+CLIP you can load a Wikiart model instead of the default Imagenet model (in fact, there are many different models). I quite enjoy the Wikiart one for similar reasons as you describe.

But I don't think these training datasets/biases are the complete reason that the results looks like NFTs -- the other reason is because so many of the people making NFTs are just using image synthesis such as this ;)
It is amazing that unions get a legal monopoly in this manner, and it is not surprising that, with such rights, they fail their constituents, preferring to amass money and power for a corrupt leadership.

Imagine a world with two or three unions per employer and you could actually pick which one you were under. They’d actually have incentives to deliver!

But we’ll never have that because it means less lobbying money and smaller campaign contributions to our representatives in government.
> My local non-profit power company is a data point against that position.

Was "your local non-profit" responsible in the elaboration of any of the regulation? Are they in any condition to threaten the status quo? Can they disrupt the market at a global scale or are they just sticking to being a "local, non-profit" entity?

It seems we are talking about two different things. You want to defend regulatory action as a valid mechanism for societal progress. What I am saying is that these mechanisms historically only worked when the status quo could benefit (or at the very least not threatened) from it.
Yup - especially because student unions (in the labor-union sense, not in the faux-government US sense) are the norm in many places abroad rather than an exception.
Well, looking now more carefully at the code, it is in fact correct.

The constants 16807 and 127773 are chosen so that their product is 2147480811, which is smaller enough than 2^31 to prevent overflows in the line:

s = 16807 * (s - k * 127773) - 2836 * k;

where s is known to be positive and less than 2^31, and (s - k * 127773) is the remainder from the division of s by 127773, and k is the quotient of that division.

Adding 2^31 - 1 to a negative 32-bit number cannot produce an overflow in:

if (s < 0) s += 2147483647;

So both the parent comment and my initial confirmation were wrong, the library code is correct. Initially I have replied too quickly, without reading the source. because most such congruential generators are written to use modular arithmetic, while this one has been carefully modified to obtain an equivalent result using integer arithmetic (which also makes it much slower than what can be done with modular arithmetic, so the reason for this is unclear).

The only thing that can be criticized is the lack of a comment emphasizing that those constants cannot be modified haphazardly, otherwise integer overflows are certain.

So your test has verified that the code is correct, so no overflows happened.

Your large seed becomes -1 after conversion to long on a 32-bit system, or it retains its value on a 64-bit system.

For different reasons, in both cases there are no overflows (on a 64-bit system, long is 64-bit, so overflows would have been avoided even with much wider allowable ranges for the constants; the constants are optimized for systems with 32-bit longs, where they are just below the limit for overflows).

Some other values that are either negative or larger than 2^31 may cause overflows, but they are illegal for this function.
Can I call foo from main and expect, that by the time program completes, info is logged? If not, I agree with GP - that is a very bad design.
> You’re probably thinking of how a proton has a mass of 938 MeV/c^2.

Yes, that’s what I was thinking. But it seems that there is a problem with the definition of the word “mass”. Clearly there are at least two definitions. First, the weight of an object. Here weight is measured and weight is called “mass”. There is no equivalence, same thing is called weight and mass. Weight and mass are synonyms. This mass has nothing to do with electricity and has nothing to do with motion.

The second definiton of mass is related to electricity and motion. It has no meaning outside electricity. In this case, they accelerate an electric current and measure its kinetic energy and call this kinetic energy “mass”. Again these words are synonyms. Why do physicists like these silly word plays so much, I have no idea.

An advisor is your gateway into your field of interest. To graduate, a student must publish a notable work in the field. If you lose your advisor, then you will likely need to start over with someone else - delaying your graduation by 2-6 years depending on the field.

Even if the university offered a new advisor, it would be unlikely to help the student.
So this sounds plausible, but since Xi is an autocrat, and since they can just bury/censor a small handful of adverse outcomes, why wouldn't Xi want to ram this through and override the risk aversion of the medics on the ground?
Can't agree more. You see these imo weird and almost religious arguments that we need to justify that something is good and natural by some kind of divine standard in order to accept it. And as you say, that if we can't show that, it's ok to discriminate.

We, both legally through government and as a societal standard, should not be discriminating about what people do (whether its sexual, religious, or whatever), regardless of their internal motivations.

At which point there would be a lawsuit, and they would lose the lawsuit.

Labor labors are an established thing. If a union is approved by the government, then they would have protections.
It takes constant vigilance and a high degree of discernment to see through such a narrative. They know its hard to keep up over long term. That's why the maintenance of alternative news sources is so important before it gets that bad.
> That code is indeed wrong, but the error consists in using "long" instead of "unsigned long".

Is this not what I was referring to? I would like to learn more, I think we have the same reasoning, but I am bad at explaining. It think perhaps it could be a good learning experience to HN if you could say exactly what lines you believe are wrong.
"Life in the Atacama took 2,000 years to return to normal."

Just beneath the title.
I don’t see how it’s hinted in the name. “Throwing an exception” is a phrase from within computing that exists because the feature exists in some languages, not because it came into programming from English.

There’s also nothing about “exception” that means “error”. If anything, modelling exceptions as errors is the anti-pattern. If you modelled all exceptions as descriptors, you could save Errors for when something actually goes wrong.

Honestly though, I’m employing Socratic argument. I am only defending this position to learn about the opposite.

How is China in any way ideal. Here in the west, with very high voluntary vaccination rates, everything for the most part is back to normal.
Even the vaccination verification process is gone.

We dealt with covid in a reasonable, science-first way, which also allowed us to have the freedom to not get vaccinated, talk about what's happening, etc. Sounds much more ideal than the shitshow going on in Shanghai currently.

I don't know how spinning the scroll wheel until my finger hurts is "immersive", but ok
I was in a grad student union at University of Michigan and it was awesome. Compared to my colleagues at other institutions I got better pay (especially taking cost of living into account) and insanely good healthcare. When our stipend contracts were up for re-negotiation I never had to worry someone didn't have my back, which is great cause as a grad student I was far too busy to worry about that myself.
I just went through this with a small grant. My only colleague in our dept. quit just before COVID started, so I was doing both full-time jobs on the grant. The university froze hiring and raises in 2020. I wrote all reports, wrote the new grant, handled all of the budgeting and admin. In late 2021, our PI retired and we finally filled the vacant admin position, so I had to train the new hire and the new PI about how the grant worked.

During that time, I received zero merit raises, and as a thanks from the university, they took more money from the grant so we could no longer afford a research assistant. My new colleague with zero years of experience was hired at the same rate as me; she almost immediately started venting to me how she doesn't get paid enough. She wants to earn a big promotion, so she is making her own changes to our reports that end up taking a lot more time. I put my notice in last week. I need to recharge for a month or two before I get back out there.

Basically, most of the value I created went to the university and our PI, and I was expected to be thankful for the opportunity. In spite of that, I think I left the dept. in better shape than it was in when I arrived.

As a current graduate student, the sunk cost can sometimes be too high just to up and move advisors. In small places, you will simply not have someone else whose interest align with yours, and even at a place like MIT, the advisors have their own specialty, and especially after your second year at Ph.D. moving or changing advisor can be quite difficult and basically "reset" all your progress. So, a lot of time, the choice becomes moving and voiding all your work you've done so far, or gritting your teeth and carrying on for "just a couple more years until I graduate."
