I mean you still have to believe that grasping what is actually going on is preferable to a numb, comfortable lie.

The nature of the world around us obviously doesn't care too much what we consider true about it and continues more or less unimpressed to go its course (unless of course we start to base our actions on these considerations).

You don't have to believe in a factual thing to make it true. Or well, you could, but it would be totally pointless either way.

But what you can believe in is that facts actually matter — and quite frankly there is a huge populus who are in dire need of that believe from at least one standpoint.
When we talk about geography, we reference “East and West” in relation to Christ’s birthplace.

No we don't. What East and West refer to differs depending on who you ask, and where they were born in the world, and when you happen to ask them.

Even if you accept the American or European definition of east and west, there are significant problems with bundling entirely different places into one view of the world - calling India, China and Japan "the east" given their massively different cultures is silly. What do you do with Australia? How do you explain that the shortest route to the "the east" from America is to head west?

And even if you ignore that, early Christian scholars put Jerusalem at the centre of the universe so clearly they weren't particularly grounded in reality.

Regardless of your view of what is east and west, there is no definition of them that cites Jerusalem as the point where west turns in to east and vice versa. This point is just wrong.
Also unsurprising in view of even more egregious incidents from the past:
Shai Masot, the Israeli embassy official at London, caught on camera in 2017 talking about 'hitlist' of members of parliament, including Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan, a vocal supporter of Palestinian state [0]. And that led to a slap on the wrist.
A comparison of reactions to related incidents involving different parties is revealing [1].

Not a perfect job. But a state of the art job! The relationship between watermarkers and lossy perceptual codecs is fundamentally adversarial - one side trying to eliminate all inaudible information, the other trying to sneak inaudible information past it. And so much more research has been poured into lossy compression, that the watermarkers just can't win. Bear in mind also that the watermark needs to work with all lossy codecs, so the information must be considered salient by all of them. There's just no way to do this inaudibly.

I spent years ticking back and forth between Palm and Pocket PC devices. Palm hardware quality was bad and Pocket PC software was terrible. To this day I wonder why Palm thought it was ok that all their LCDs emitted a high-pitched humming noise when turned on.

The point is: can the ideal of the GPL actually work in the software development world?

The answer seems to be "no". You can't build a software development company around a GPL code base. You can build a support services company around that (like RedHat or MySQL did), but that's it. You can build a service company that uses software internally, like Google and Facebook and AWS etc.

But the idea that you can build and sell a piece of GPL software is a fantasy of Stallman's and no more than that. Free software has even helped encourage the software-as-a-service world, where no one owns even a copy of a propietary piece of software...

If I were running the project, I'd put a very firm comment like this:

@Maniues: Please explicitly list all files in this project that violate GPL, or I will close this issue by (Some reasonable date.)

Then, by that date, I'd double-check that none of the code violates the GPL.

Why: I suspect that Maniues has a poor understanding of the semantics needed to determine if the project actually violated the GPL. It's quite common for people to raise a ruckus on something that they don't understand.

Upon closing the issue, I'd state, "I checked all of our dependencies, including XXX. Nothing violates the GPL." If there's LGPL or similar, I'd say something like, "We use XXX, which is LGPL, not GPL, and we are in compliance with the license."

Then I would close the issue. Issues like this shouldn't be left unresolved.
A tax on empty homes that started increasing after some grace period (say 3-12 months or whatever) would be amusing because at some point the vacancy owners would start paying people to live in the house so as to avoid the tax.

And if prices were going up enough, it'd be worth it.
Of course. Most authoritarian regimes intentionally castrate their armies, kill promising generals and remove authority from officers, because otherwise they get military coups.

That's the secret power of a functional democracy: it can empower the military.

Seems like a lot of people are missing the fact that is study of people with heart failure not a study of otherwise healthy people.

The study is decreasing sodium intake even further from the current guideline for patients with heart failure.

The effect of sodium intake is very different for people who need to maintain very tight tolerances to survive. And a ton of effort is spent keeping people with heart failure out of the hospital.

I have heart failure and have an implant that measures electrical conductivity of heart tissue and will warn if I am approaching fluid overload due to too much sodium.
Nothing can be used to address the veracity of that hypothesis. It's the same as saying I have a monster in my closet, which is invisible, undetectable, and never interfere with any object in any manner.

Or that I'm just a cloud of consciousness dreaming about this entire experience, human, earth, the universe all being my imagination.

I don't see why it would dismay an atheist specifically. It's just an untestifiable statement like many other metaphysical thought experiments. Surely anyone with a basic read of philosophy would have encountered some.

The formulation in that of Maxwell's equations as a single simple GA equation was pretty cool. I was curious though about how it would change if magnetic monopoles were discovered, but did not pick up enough on one watching of that video to figure out how to add that myself.

A bit of Googling turned up this article [1] which includes that.

> I just can't intuitively wrap my head around how tables can grow from 10gb to 100gb and why this wouldnt worsen query performance by x10

Sql server data is stored as a BTree structure. So a 10 -> 100gb growth ends up being roughly a 1/2 query performance slowdown (since it grows by a factor of log n) assuming good indexes are in place.

Filtered indexes can work pretty well for improving query performance. But ultimately we do have some tables which are either archived if we can or partitioned if we can't. SQL Server native partitioning is rough if the query patterns are all over the board.

The other thing that has helped is we've done a bit of application data shuffling. Moving heavy hitters onto new database servers that aren't as highly utilized.

We are currently in the process of getting read only replicas (always on) setup and configured in our applications. That will allow for a lot more load distribution.
Absolutely genius. The three phases are so great. Very very cool, non exploitive, and smart. Sponsorware concept is new to me and extremely awesome.
I once rented a place where the landlord had a really old and inefficient heating system. He didn't care that the heating bills were hundreds of dollars more per month in the winter.
Regulations...
Most land is off limits. Were I live the land is ’protected’ for agricultural use even though it is marginal at best and most farms doesn’t use the land.

In my case it killed my agribusiness project because the amount of work, the delays and the risks where too much to bear.

We can no longer build what we used to build in the 60’s and 70’s because of the regulations in spite of the technology being much better.
A lot of those wacky TV advertised gadgets are being sold predominantly to the elderly, even when the ads use young actors. Some of them are earnestly useful to elderly people with limited strength or mobility. Others are simply just so dumb, you'd have to be senile to buy it.

> Aren't most meeting-heavy jobs by definition exempt, since they'll tend to be either professional or administrative?

No.

Very many do not meet the salary threshold to be exempt, and others don't meet the detailed nature-of-the-job requirements (though, as with contractor status, there is a fair amount of miscategorization on the latter point that employers get away with unless it is challenged.)

The article itself mentions that both sides blame each other without taking accountability.
The story of Donetsk and Luhansk is littered with influence by FSB operatives as well pro-Russian ukrainian politics back in 2014.

The statement above with civilian deaths being in low double digits in 2021 is correct as the conflict has reached the status quo which had a good chance of being resolved politically.

Whatever our stance on the reason behind the conflict in Eastern Ukraine is, we seem to agree that it was pretty bad in 2014-2019 and it has been relatively low-key in 2019(Zelenskiy got elected) and on. Any civilian deaths are terrible, but to put things in perspective: more people Died in car accidents in DNR/LNR then due to the conflict.

So any reasoning of Russia attacking Ukraine, flattening cities, destroying civilian buildings as being caused by a conflict in DNR/LNR is pure Russian propaganda.
Not bizarre to believe, but extremely bizarre to have recorded in that way, at that time.

The details are obvious fabrication. So, we cannot reason based on the fabricated details, but we can reason about the the fabrication itself: It very evidently was felt necessary to make that shit up, later; so, why was it felt necessary?

Ask the people who interviewed you.
If, as the parent comment claims, the library has been relicensed more permissively then it is irrelevant that it was previously only licensed under the GPL. Though it is certainly bad form to continue distributing it with that notice.

There's a bit of a myth that if you release a program containing GPLed code then you irrevocably get the obligation to release your source code whether you want to or not. Certainly you're in violation of the terms if you don't, but releasing your source code is not the only way to correct the violation. Even if you were successfully taken to court over the matter (which can only be done by the copyright owner of the GPLed software, since it's a contract with them that you're breaching), the court might require another resolution e.g. that you remove the GPLed code from your software or pay the copyright owner a fee/fine.
The strategy is similar to Madlib. I tried to deploy Madlib a year or so ago, and it didn't have the features I wanted and development seemed somewhat slow/stalled with vmware deprecating support for pymadlib. I got a wild hair last week, and wanted to see how hard it would be to build something comparable, except leveraging the work of the python ML ecosystem instead of reimplementing algos from scratch, and I think we've been able to cover a significant amount of ground quickly.

Untrusted extensions are not necessarily unsafe, but the main difference is you need to be a database superuser to install them (and hopefully vet them). This is really a problem for most hosted database services like AWS RDS, Azure etc, but not for people who are running their own Postgres instances. In the future I think we'll need a solution that can spin up a replica with superuser permissions to install the extension on, which would also have safety and scalability advantages compared to installing it on the primary.

It looks like we have some similar thinking along how easy it should be to use ML in orgs, vs the current reality. I'd love to hear more about dsKube and what you're learning on with that approach.
I never watch/read fox nor cnn. I only secondarily end up reading them through other sources.

CNN ratings are WAY down.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/12/cnn-plus-low-viewership-numb...

CNN+ flopped. I could also link several high profile people resigning or being fired.

What this article should be about is understanding why CNN is collapsing and what Fox news is doing right.

>Given the steady stream of misinformation an avid Fox News consumer is subjected to, the viewers – predominantly elderly, white and Donald Trump-supporting

Fox news = steady stream of misinformation? really?

>Most of the CNN switchers stuck to the length of the task, according to the study. But once it was over, and the $15 an hour was taken away, “viewers returned to watching Fox News”, Kalla said.

Of course they did.

Lets discuss what they should have discussed.

Fox news during the oreilly/hannity era was pretty trash. How awful was hannity/colmes? Oreilly? omg no. They'd cut off guests who werent giving the answer they like. It was bad. They took the criticism and took a long time to improve.

Meanwhile on CNN you had Tucker Carlsen vs James Carville. That was some good stuff. 2 very smart people representing opposing sides going at it.

Now today... you have nothing but utter trash coming out of CNN. The most recent hilarity is that Brian Stelter was at a 'disinformation' event. Presumably to answer for CNN's disinformation? Yet it took some kid from the crowd to ask Stelter about CNN's disinformation and he had no response.

CNN needs to do some reflecting like fox news did back in the day.

Journalism leaving twitter predated elon's poll on free speech. Obviously the implication is that they have reflected some.

>"We can rely too much on Twitter as a reporting or feedback tool — which is especially harmful to our journalism when our feeds become echo chambers," Baquet said in a memo

Nytimes guy said it. What happened is that conservatives were censored enough on twitter that it resulted in people experiencing echo chambers. It skews your view and therefore they end up in a circular feedback that hides criticism of your work. You start hearing echos and you stop reporting on reality.

NYTimes during the Ottawa freedom protest https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/10/opinion/ottawa-trucker-pr...

>uring the protests after the murder of George Floyd — is to maintain a balance between public health and safety and a functioning society, with the right to free expression. Entertaining the use of force to disperse or contain legal protests is wrong.

The NYTimes escaped their echo chamber and provided a legitimate opinion here. I applaud them for being consistent here, they dont agree with the goals of the protest but they understand why it must be allowed to happen.

4 days after they published this, Trudeau used force to utterly crush the legal protest. Conservatives in Canada no longer have the right to protest.

The last FSA I had was the exact opposite. They put my FSA on a Visa card, then I went to the optometrist and forgot to use it and paid on my own credit card. A week later, I got a check in the mail from my FSA with a note basically saying "Hey, you could have used your FSA for that, so here's an automatic reimbursement."

EDIT: It may have been an HSA, not an FSA. I don't remember.
One way to dodge this and other issues related to depiction of human bodies is to trim the dataset such that humans are not generally recognizable as realistic humans in the output. It is also currently explicitly forbidden by OpenAI to share publicly realistic images of human faces generated by DE2.

Via LessWrong.com: [1]

>"One place where DE2 clearly falls down is in generating people. I generated an image for [four people playing poker in a dark room, with the table brightly lit by an ornate chandelier], and people didn't look human -- more like the typical GAN-style images where you can see the concept but the details are all wrong.

>Update: image removed because the guidelines specifically call out not sharing realistic human faces.

>Anything involving people, small defined objects, and so on, looks much more like the previous systems in this area. You can tell that it has all the concepts, but can't translate them into something realistic.

>This could be deliberate, for safety reasons -- realistic images of people are much more open to abuse than other things. Porn, deep fakes, violence, and so on are much more worrisome with people. They also mentioned that they scrubbed out lots of bad stuff from the training data; possibly one way they did that was removing most images with people.
