I think one essential question of such issues is that why certain populations are so inclined to believe a specific result. And in case you think I'm talking about the field of psychology, I'm (edit: also or especially) talking about populations like HN, which consistently finds fault with almost all scientific resesarch (except research which finds fault with other research).

Also, a key overlooked result of the original replication paper was that the results of the original studies were reproduced, but had lower power than the original studies reported (and of course the OP calls that conclusion into question).
He is just trying to find a way to lower his offer because market conditions have changed that quickly and the original offer is a bad deal at this point.

This is all a side show and negotiation tactics. Really not bizarre at all. The original offer is at least 10 billion or so too much now.
That was a default judgement so even if not immediately dismissed by the court it wasn’t really put to test.
The context of the writer. Apologies if I implied that the notation semantics were important -- letter exchange is free; concept change is not. What I indented to mean was the use of the terms poles and zeros is a bit wonky. Attempting to be cute with a physicist's hat, a pole is a "black hole", an entity you must not cross because the calculus will not work. It is a discontinuity, a singular value. There are worse things in mathematical generalizations; a cut / line in a manifold. But tools to cope.
> That doesn't imply that there's never a prize behind the door that the host opens.

The entire activity is meaningless if the host opens the door with the prize—any questions about switching or not are pointless, since obviously both closed doors are worthless. So that can’t be the interpretation of the puzzle.

I believe software licenser is right and you (the user) is wrong:

1. Licenser is typically not obliged to _support_ the software for eternity. It may require a lot of work to support the old software versions (security patches / new OS compatibility updates). All the software requirements should have been covered in its requirements section. They clearly sold you the right to use the software forever, but if you want to get updates or support -- that's what support contracts are for.

2. Also, the software distributors are not obliged to _distribute_ the old software versions.

Let's make analogy with bicycle manufacturers -- they don't distribute or support an old bike models, even though you have a "lifetime license" to _use_ the bike.

PS: Personal story: I've dealt with a good amount of software and support licenses from the seller side, and savvy buyers know to add a provision in our Agreement that if we agree on a longer-term contract, we (seller) cannot rename the product in order to push price increases. But our case is different than yours -- we specifically sell the updates and support, not just the right to use.
How relevant is this from an AGI perspective?
No, that's why many people is working on it now. If you compare old smart contract with new ones, you will see that things are slowly getting fixed.

For e.g., you could literally send NFTs to any address (including a smart contract address) which make things stuck forever. Now there's a safe way to transfer things which check whether or not it is a valid address. And this became the de facto standard for almost any NFT smart contract.

All these didn't came out of nowhere.

> Aside from the obvious administrative problems, suggests that the complete edifice needs to fit into the mind of a couple of people at most or the iteration simply will not converge most of the time.

> I don’t see a good solution to this.

I think this is probably true.

Some people take that to basically give up, and say, okay, our software is always going to be a mess, but look at all it's done as a mess, so be it.

Otherwise... the commonly understood solution seems to be composing the thing of independent units (very very very decoupled) each of which can fit into the mind of a couple of people at most. And then the whole, built of these independent units considered as black boxes, can perhaps also fit into the mind of a couple of people at most. I know you said "the complete edifice", which is not the same thing, but this is what we've got: and indeed is "abstraction", basically the entire basis of computer science and what makes possible anything we do. (Even the simplest program of 20 years ago -- can probably only fit into the mind of one or two people if you exclude the hardware all the way down, which you can because it is well abstracted and decoupled; it wasn't always, 50 years ago).

And we can come up with all the challenges and barriers of that -- of course! If it were easy, we'd have simple software. :)

But that's the task, I guess. But a lot of software isn't even built realizing that's the task -- to have one or two people "driving the bus" who have a mental model of the thing they're building, at any level of abstraction (I feel like Fred Brooks wrote about this), meaning that continuity of experience matters and domain knowledge matters, treating developers as commodities to be shifted around continually has a cost to complexity too, as does continually switching technologies and platforms so you can't build up a solid repertoire of encapsulated abstracted pieces to compose.
Any time spent learning tailwind is much better invested in learning plain CSS, since it's basically just syntactic sugar for style attributes. And learning CSS itself will be useful for many years to come, well beyond the lifetime of any given framework.

The browser's built-in CSS support is the framework, I don't understand why people try to build things like this on top of it unless they're adding real value.

> They shipped optimization to a feature to let indexes be built concurrently yet failed to perform thorough enough testing to ensure concurrent updates don’t disrupt the correctness of the index?

From what I can tell, a problem _may_ occur in those circumstances, but there’s no guarantee it _will_ occur. That can make finding it in testing difficult.

A performant ACID database is a very complex piece of software. It is a pipe dream to think about any such feature would ship without bugs.

See for example https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-data-corruptio..., which shows a similar issue on SQL Server.
It pushes you to componentize common UI elements. Feel bad to have long utility classes that look like <button class="bg-blue-700 border border-transparent hover:bg-blue-900 ring-2 ring-offset-2">. Change it to:

<submit-button>Submit</submit-button> using whatever tooling you prefer.

If you don't use this style, maybe you won't like it.

I've found it's a waste of time to extract classes for items that are not repeated. And putting utilities in components lightens your "master" CSS file and makes it a lot easier to work with CSS.

I've found that the "cascading" part of style sheets almost always breaks down in larger projects. Small components seem to avoid those breakdowns while allowing for reusability.

I have a hard time believing that twitter can't get accurate data about which accounts aren't behaving like humans. You can look at user agents to start. Heck, even basic analytics cookies capture a lot of information that is useful- like first and last time page visit, number of page views, duration of time on page. I bet twitter server logs have more granular information that they can easily tell who is a bot.

Honest naive question, most people who voice an opinion on the subject seem to have extremely one-sided and narrow viewpoints, your comment demonstrates otherwise.

I lost interest before I got to his political point (about inflation), but the comments made me go back and while it’s an interesting point, it ignores the fact that the current bout of inflation is almost certainly a consequence of the Covid stimulus plus the supply chain disruptions with a dose of war in Ukraine. And it turns out that inflationary pressures seem to be declining outside of the volatile food and energy sectors (see https://jabberwocking.com/inflationary-pressure-seems-to-be-...). I have a bit more faith in domain-specific analysis than abstract mathematical approaches.
Indeed. Same for my last job. Prior to that, craigslist.

> IPv4 (TCP or SCTP) and dst port (43253 or 43753 or 63424 or 26424)

So this is hiding network traffic from certain ports, which means that it should be easy enough to spot on spanports or netflow data

Are there any good tools which detect malware from analysing network traffic, either things like machines doing wide range attempts to connect on 137/139/445, or burte forcing on 22 etc, but also for more advanced searches for traffic like this?

I see plenty of companies selling end point protection, but that's not much use with the amount of blackboxes I have on my network.
> 20hrs/day people just fucking crush the folks who kayak on the weekend.

I think the point is to let go of that measuring stick. If you measure them by how satisfied they are with their lives, kayakers are the ones crushing it. Being the best at something and the extreme work that requires does not necessarily make a better life than just walking your own path at a pace that works for you.

Neither should that diminish anyone who truly does want a life where they push to the extreme to be the best. If that works for them, great. But that is not for everyone.

The usual answer, however trite, is "don't knock it till you've tried it."

I haven't found a convincing explanation of why exactly this is better until I've used it in a project, and since then I'm completely sold. The semantic CSS concern separation pipe dream has always been snake oil in real projects.

Long live Tailwind.
Something I've always wondered is, don't they have a way of measuring the confidence of outputs? We had ways of measuring these things in AI before. To me, the prompts Douglas Hofstadter gave GPT-3 is like holding a person at gunpoint and forcing them to respond to nonsensical questions. You're going to get nonsensical answers.

Perhaps we just need to teach these AI to measure their own confidence, and be able to say "I don't know" or "I don't understand the question".

Also this doesn't mean current AI isn't conscious. Perhaps they are already aware that the answers are nonsense. We just haven't given them the means to express it.
I totally thought this until I started using it on a full project. Six months in and I can't imagine writing traditional CSS or nested SASS classes anymore.

Combined with either Flexbox or CSS Grid, the speed with which you can put together a good looking web page is crazy fast.
> This confuses me greatly. Are they using more generous grading for pandemic reasons?

Middle school GPA of the admits. Not their GPA in their freshmen year at TJ. I don't believe that TJ publishes this information. In a few years you'll be able to get a few proxies in average AP scores and college admissions information (though these metrics are flawed in their own ways).

But more and more evidence is stacking up that maybe your core assumption (the new class is full of worse students so that more white people get admitted) might not be true. Continuing to grasp for possible other explanations that allow you to keep holding this belief isn't good science. There are more than 500 very smart 8th graders in fairfax county (and prince william and fauquier counties) each year. Changing the testing procedure doesn't mean that less smart students are being admitted.
I sent a resume to one of the production editors here looking for some freelance work. Turned out they needed someone to fill in for someone who was out on sick leave. That was in 2009.
Perhaps this is more common than I am aware, but why cram both UX Designer and front-end engineer into one role? Usually at many places I've seen, those are two distinct roles with distinct responsibilities - this might be because the overall overlapping group that can do both UX design (wireframing, general design, etc) and engineering is a relatively small group I guess.

This just stuck out to me a bit because those seem like two distinct area of expertise
Of course my friend, no disrespect was meant towards you, that's why I was explicit for the meaning of the word. It's fascinating that some ancient Greek words where borrowed to English with a completely different meaning like empathy which is a negative emotion, similar to envy.
I don't think it is the case. The french constitution explicitely refers to the lisbon treatee, so it may be that european treaties are senior to the french constitution. But in general I don't think that international treaties are senior to a constitution. Not the least because treaties are typically ratified by the parliament, and the constitution is there to limit the authority of what the parliament or executive can decide to do. So a parliament wouldn't have the authority to ratify a treaty that goes against the constitution of the country without the constitution being changed.

The notion of "international law" itself is also a bit murky. It implies that there is some sort of authority above countries to enforce this law, but there isn't. Countries are sovereign. If the legitimate authority of a country decides to walk away from a treaty, nothing prevents that. It is international law in the sense that it applies to the citizen of the country, as long as the country has the will to adhere to the treaty. History is full of broken treaties (in fact most of them end up that way sooner or later), including very recent examples (territorial integrity of Ukraine).
The odds of your original door being right are 1%—that never changes. It’s determined by the options when the game was set up and when you picked it.

If your original door was wrong—99% chance—then it’s in one of the 99 other doors. But the host opens 98 of them, so if it was one of the 99 other doors—again, 99% chance—then the only option left is the last door.
I ran into a similar situation with a perpetual licence. Tried to reactivate after a couple of years, and was told to upgrade to their new and improved subscription plan. I shrugged my shoulders and life went on. The thing is, I have been mostly in the open source world for decades. All their actions did was reaffirm my use of open source and make it even less likely that commercial software vendors will see a dime of my money in the future. It hurts everyone, unfortunately. Alas, it is difficult to figure out which vendors will actually honour their licenses.
I keep hearing people say this, but when I worked doing layoffs I don’t think I ever saw a stack ranking happen. It was always either a)every team loses x% or more commonly b) getting rid of a function or location entirely.

As an internet stranger, I would like to overstep my bounds and recommend some reflection on what drove you to this reaction.

If you read the article, it's an extremely thoughtful point that makes sense if you know a bit of biology & chemistry,

> In Western Europe, yields were estimated to improve nearly 10% for both winter and summer crops. Crop yields in India were calculated to increase by roughly eight percent for summer crops and six percent for winter crops. North and South America were generally shown to have the lowest levels of NOx exposures.
>
> Overall, the study highlighted that effects appeared most negative in the seasons and locations where NOx likely drives ozone formation.

You can read what Ozone does to plants here, https://www.nps.gov/subjects/air/nature-ozone.htm

Just like it irritates/burns our tissues, it does so with plants as well. You can also trivially arrive at the relationship between NOx and Ozone here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx#Formation_and_reactions

Your reaction is deeply out of proportion here.
Imagine all the pathogens that are mutated for free.
It's really not just syntatic sugar for style.

It's a design system as well as a set of utility classes. Consider the difference between

<span style="color: #cccccc">Gray text</span> and <span class="text-gray-700">Gray text</span>

In the former, you can't just redefine what gray means. You've hard set it to a value you need to keep track of and keep consistent. On the right, you can configure what "700" means, switch between a cool gray or a blue gray, etc.
> What would a re-design improve

That is exactly the question people often forget to answer. We see this with both software and webdesign. Stuff gets a facelife, because it doesn't follow the latest trends. During the process features or design decisions made previously is often ignore or forgot, because they don't fix the new "vision".

In the case of Claws Mail an argument could be made for upgrading to a never version of GTK and get a facelift in the process. That could also hurt the users, if the UI move around to much, or break existing work-flows.

There is a lot of value in a stable UI. You can get caught in old or even deprecated libraries and UI interaction, that's a risk. There is however also value in being conservative and consistent. If you take an application(/web-application) like Chrome or Gmail, and you haven't used that in a few years, then you'll get overwhelmed. Something like Claws Mail or TextMate doesn't have that issue, you learned the concepts years ago, and they are just a valid now as they where then.

Not only for security reasons, anybody who has ever maintained a large codebase with external dependencies for enough time knows the pain it is to handle breaking changes in the underlying libraries without breaking your own public APIs. Sometimes you even have to embed multiple versions of the library to be able to still use it's legacy elements. So yeah 100% agree that each dep should be scrutinized.
On the other hand, I am what you might call a "geek", and I find that Claws is actually lacking important features that I need, such as support for multiple "sending identities". I couldn't care less about the UI being pretty, but I do care about it being usable, and I care about it having the features that I want.

Near misses are great for reminding us to check our back ups :)

I'd advise against using email for sending the actual backups as there's quite a few security risks and a lot of technical things that could catch you out over time (e.g. hitting size limits as your database grows).

As an alternative you could use a secure upload to a remote location for transferring the backup file and then email yourself on any failures.
You're still misusing the term out of spec. Everything else you said is uncontroversial.
Honestly, playable.

1. Input lag for this doesn't matter
