I'm wondering if abbott (he's not worth capitalizing) is going to do that by redefining the meaning of rape in Manly Texas...
Probably starting with my Atari 400 back in the 80s. There was no internet and any low-level documentation was hard to come by and readily shared with the few others with the same system and interest. All this is to say that I learned to dig, learn, and figure out stuff on my own, trying, failing, and keep going until I got something I was satisfied with. The other interesting thing is that the computer was over my budget so my parents only bought me the BASIC cart and Asteroids, but no storage of any kind. That meant that I would code for a couple days, never turning the computer off and when my program was done and I'd played with it long enough, I'd get bored and want to play Asteroids. That taught me not to get too attached to versions of programs I wrote. The next version was of course better, and I got faster writing them.

After going through this process, anything after like school courses, university, co-op terms, learning C, using compilers, doing low-level firmware development all seemed like natural continuations. I'm also always seeking novelty and new ways of doing old things.
In my mind, the software for at least the first two is typically written by people who don't primarily have an IT background, and at least in the past it was very clear that no skilled IT security engineers with any even reasonably recent knowledge were involved.
This isn't very open; they're not just letting anyone download it, like you might expect.

Terrorism? Really? What law, specifically, has the source even broken? Anyone outraged by this leak should call their Senators and Congressional Representatives and demand more stringent ethical rules for the federal judiciary and funding for their implementation and enforcement.
> those states under religious law will continue to decline.

Is there any evidence for this? I've met many people on this very site who live in "states under religious law" and the state is prosperous, with the added benefits of freedom and liberty compared to other states.
Now isn't then, then isn't now. There are no on going marches against gay sex or marriage.
Abortion is a on going divisive battle that goes beyond most issues.

This being said there are lot of R politicians who secretly hate this potential ruling. They want to say a few words about being pro-life, raise some money and thats it. They don't want the blow back of abortion actually becoming illegal.
It may be, but I suspect that disadvantage is far outweighed by the benefits of genuinely listening to people.

Guess it depends on the "algorithm" but if we were still in the PageRank era there's no way in hell ADL or SLPC would be anywhere near the top results for "Alex Jones", considering how many other news stories, blogs, comments, etc. about him exist.
> In addition to that it manages to be wildly out of line with international norms

Isn't our take on freedom of speech rather out of line with international norms? And probably also our take on bearing arms being a right?

I don't think I buy the implied claim that being out of line with norms is necessarily a bad thing.
For Docker stacks: Funkwhale [1]

Their Setup for the Docker stack [2] is not only well documented, but also suitable as a blueprint for any persistent software setup with Docker.
They also have a mentality for documentation as a firct class member, which is really important for OSS and self-hosting. You'd have to look hard to find any outdated piece of information or lazy written part in the docs.
Lastly, the interface is just beautiful, simple and elegant. I finally enjoy listening to my music library again.

A large majority of the US voted against the presidents that appointed the conservatives on this court, and this court has been systematically stripping citizens of the right to vote and have their votes counted.

Your argument is akin to a bully yelling “stop hurting yourself!” while they bang a kid’s head against the wall.

The draft opinion uses similar logic when it argues the decision doesn’t subjugate women. They are “not without representation”, after all.

Well great, by that logic, I guess the court is planning to go back to giving blacks 1/10th of a vote. “Not without representation”, after all.

The wokeness is offending a lot of Asians including myself.
exploring with modern AAA assets is hard, and sandbox style games like Elder Scrolls or GTA take a huge hit in both graphical fidelity and level design to facilitate that (okay, maybe not GTA V, but it's a "console game" with an MMO built into it. The profit margins on it are incomparable).

I imagine that that may have been a huge grind to the people at Eidos who were once at the top of their games in terms of visual fidelity. Sacrifice that exploratory feel but still achieve best in class graphics like the old days
I always wondered if there'd be a way to basically create a deeply sloped man-made river system that essentially brings salt water deep inland - say as far as Colorado, and perhaps it can be desalinated naturally setting up some filtration systems along the way to catch some of the salt.

Imagine if we had a river as big and wide as the colorado river coming from the pacific ocean and back into the colorado river. It might even change weather systems to bring more rain in the area because there's more water vapor.

I'm not a scientist and don't know the specifics on how/if that'd work but it'd be a pretty interesting experiment.
No, I think “this ends up” the same way as Europe: most places get a ban at the end of the first trimester, when the fetus has a face and can suck its thumb. Some states ban it or near ban it, like Poland or Ireland until a couple of years ago. A handful of blue states end up with abortion until birth.
I just got off the phone with my local university extension program. They said you're wrong.

The fact that Bernie’s immediately pointing out that this ruling can be overturned by eliminating the filibuster is pretty telling.

The person that leaked this is probably trying to force the democrats to do what they were elected to do before the midterm elections.

Im very curious about the compression mount contacts. There's a ton of connections needed, so this is hard, but it looks like about 20% of the footprint is connector. Maybe it looks more reasonable in person. But to see an dense ram module like this & then see such a large % of space taken up by connectors is unusual. That said, doubling so-dimm's pin count was bound tp be difficult.

As a pro-choice liberal, I always felt like Roe v. Wade was poorly decided from the perspective of consistent and robust jurisprudence. Much like Wickard v. Filburn, the line of reasoning was sufficiently tortured that it opened the door for future adverse decisions in directions they might not otherwise go.

For this reason, there was always a possibility that a future court may patch it to make it more consistent with other precedent. In my view, sending most things to the individual States to decide is the correct default. See also: marijuana legalization, which has spread at the State level because it is nearly impossible to change at the Federal level.
I think what you are referring to is "piercing the corporate veil". This basically never happens in America.

Australia has a few large population clusters. Most people don't live in the interior due to the sweltering heat and lack of water. They live on the east/south-east seaboard (Brisbane-Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne-Adelade, clockwise). The reactors can be colocated with the people.
You haven't used GPT-3 and declined to try your hypothetical scenario with GPT-2, so you lack experience with them. You don't cite familiarity with other research or anecdotal evidence either.

This is the same court that is very likely to find a "human right" to conceal a firearm, despite that premise being contrary to international norms and also contrary to legal historical in America.

In short, America is soon going to switch from a system where a pregnant woman has a human right to self-preservation and instead in many states the life of the unborn child will be privileged over the pregnant woman which is rather far outside international norms.
Yeah, that's never been a very good line to me, speaking as just a clump of cells myself.

The Knowledge Graph says you don’t have to use your conviction and will to execute risky and time-consuming, linear projects (which will fail if your conviction is wrong). All you have to do is take cute little notes all the time, and the hard work is magically done for you!

I don't think the knowledge graph says this in so many words, but the author sure hears it.

It seems not to have occurred to him that for any topic, the loudest people on the internet are not necessarily worth listening to. Nor are they even representative of the larger group (see Twitter).

PKM has its share of grifters. I mean grift in a gentle sense, like someone who becomes successful by writing a book on how to be successful. I wish them inspiration and success.

They're selling people solutions for problems, but the problem has near infinite solution space because the problem is "how do I process information effectively?"

So what we get is individuals marketing their take on this ultimately rather personal question. It's marketing that makes them highly visible to people like the author. They're among the first personalities we encounter when one
start searching on PKM (is this a good thing? I'm not sure).

I would tell the author the good news: the users without vlogs are doing just fine. You haven't heard from them because they aren't trying to grow an audience, but they're seeing added value in their lives as a result of PKM.

It's obvious that the author has no use for PKM in his understanding of it. I just don't think he's bothered to understand it as anything beyond a self-help topic.

That’s the real crime, that he ruined at least one man’s life but still gets to “enjoy retirement”. And I bet he sleeps like a baby.
I think you’re the one making a bad faith argument. “People are going to die” because democrats let the ETC expire. That’s the nature of legislation. Pretty much all of it is impactful enough that you can come up with a body count.

But at the end of the day the rule of law and the process matters. Roe prohibited Americans from banning second trimester abortions, which most Americans think should be banned, and which most liberal European countries do ban. It was substituting the moral views of an elite against the judgment of the public on a fundamental moral line drawing issue.
A human being has an online learning system (which ML models usually don't) but it isn't just that. Even just the brain has emotions, motivation, hunger, self-interest, forgetting, some instinctual desires, and not only do those support the way humans are intelligent/conscious, but it's possible they're necessary for it, and you can't give them to an "AGI" without it losing the computer-like usefulness of an ML model.
It's not necessarily that "we cannot do your thing." Just that "we cannot do your thing using your lock. To get around this, simply make a new resource, to get a new lock."

Think of how in e.g. an IaaS control plane, when you delete a VM, it may take an arbitrarily-long time before you can create another VM with the same ID. (Maybe forever!) But you can always create a VM with a different ID, that otherwise fulfills all the same purposes (e.g. has the old instance's IP, FQDN, etc.) The old ID essentially has a distributed lock on its use, with an unbounded release time — and that's perfectly fine for the use-case.

For an example of fail-stalled being not only practical but preferred, consider tag-out locking systems (exclusive-access locks used to prevent machines from being turned on while maintenance is being performed on them.) If there was a digital lock of that type, you wouldn't want to ever automatically time it out. A human put that lock there, to keep them alive. They'll take it off when they're done. If you really suspect someone forgot to unlock the tag-out lock, you can always go and check with the lock's acquirer. But if you can't get in contact with them, you can't know that they don't still have their hands up in the gears of the machine. And in this case, failing to auto-restart the assembly line (until the "partition" is over and you can just ask the maintenance worker why they're still holding the lock) is worth much less than said maintenance worker's life.

You can't even avoid using the word in your admonition against using the word though. What's better phrasing, and why?
Probably an obvious question, but have you read the book? Even if you feel your experience with other languages should be enough to let you skip “beginner” content, I cannot recommend the book enough. Going through every chapter and doing the exercises should get you in a place where you can write rust relatively comfortably. From there I think Rust in Action is another good source of introductory material.

I also don’t know what you’re using for your dev environment, but whatever it is, make sure you’re using the rust-analyzer language server. The excellent and immediate inline warnings and errors are immensely helpful, even now with several years of rust experience under my belt.

I think it’s also really helpful to do a couple of small projects with limited scope, e.g. a single-threaded, literal match grep CLI, or `du` clone or whatever.

As Klonoar pointed out, also don’t beat yourself up over writing “good” rust, at least not initially. Don’t worry about cloning and unwrapping, and throw stuff behind an Arc and/or Mutex whenever shared access or mutation gets hairy. Taking that route, Rust isn’t more difficult to write than any of the other languages you know, and it’s fine while you build familiarity.

Also don’t hesitate to reach out on Rust’s zulip or discord, or the unofficial community on reddit. People tend to be very helpful.

Pushshift is a single person with some very strong political opinions who has specifically used his datasets to attack political opponents. Frankly I wouldn't trust his data to be untainted.

These models really need to be trained on more official data sources, or at least something with some type of multi-party oversight rather than data that effectively fell off the back of a truck.

edit: That's not even to mention I believe it's flat-out illegal for him to collect and redistribute this data as Reddit users did not agree to any terms of use with him.

And abortion is illegal in Poland, and was illegal in Ireland until recently. So what? Somehow the folks in France manage to be part of the same EU as the folks in Poland without getting too worked up about abortion laws that don’t affect them.

My understanding is it was never clear if it actually happened in the first place or was just operator error. I seem to remember there was also a recall on floor mats that could have caused issues.

All the software stuff was discovered as a result of lawsuits. The software was atrocious and may have been capable of causing issues. But I don’t think anyone ever proved it did to any reasonable degree.

A GAN can absolutely be trained to discriminate between text generated from this model or another model.

There's so many hands in the pudding of avengers between SE, Crystal, Marvel, and Disney, and so many industry fluctuations that there's probably no one party at blame. These were dealings happening right at the crux of when Games as a Service was hitting full swing, during production Infinity War became a cultural phenomenon on top of the already existing cultural phenomenon, the fan reaction to the initial avenger faces, a revolving door of talent during production, And ofc some COVID to throw everything in disarray in the 11th hour, but still needing _something_ to take advantadge of the software surge as the movies were being delayed.

it's a perfect storm of business meddling and plain ol' unfortunate circumstance. At this point, I'm just baffled by how lucky Insomiac was to basically time everything just right while under 80% of the same conditions.
