Just like white people are authoritative about other white people, if we ask black people for the truth they must be right. Or, you know, not.

- 13% of Blacks, 10% of Hispanics, but only 5 percent
of Whites lack photographic identification.

- 12% of adults living in a household with less than $25,000 annual
income lack photo ID, compared to just 2 percent in households with
over $150,000 annual income.

- 15 percent of 17-20 year olds lack photo ID, and 11 percent of those ages 21-24 lack photo ID.

So yeah, ID requirements are not a half bad way to skew election results in your favor.

And consider for a moment just how strong an advantage Republicans have in the house of representatives these days compared to how weak their actual number of represented voters is. All the little efforts absolutely add up to real results.
Also in Spanish the distinction between 'Amigo' and 'Compañero' or 'Compa' - 'Amigo' is what people think of as 'friend' in english but it's really more like a friendly acquaintance while 'compa' is much, much closer to how 'Friend' is used in English. Single-word distinctions in familiarity even stretches out to that level of interaction.

I think that's the whole language in a lot of ways, though, like you just have a larger dictionary in Spanish because you can modify or combine words in ways that avoid you having to say stuff like "my sister in law, like yeah my brother's wife". That's literally how many more syllables you have to say in English just to say what's said in one word in Spanish, the verbosity is just way higher. I think this leads English speakers to perceive Spanish as a 'fast' language (and some dialects certainly are) but I chalk it up to being able to say more with less words. This is also the case in every other language I've learned compared to English (Japanese, German - Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher anyone? ... and now Russian).
The original research appears to have been climate related, but they drilled through 500 meters of ice to get to the "river" and there's no mention in the article of this area melting like that.
To be fair, the natives who would receive the money didn't exist either back then.

Your point that this isnt even a generation of change- it's a vast shift im a subgeneration- seems like it only amplifies & further stresses we should at least know a generation. Probably more!!!
Twitter plans to provide Elon Musk with access to the “firehose”
> Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer support a plan to forgive as much as $50,000 in student loans per borrower, and according to the Washington Post, the Biden administration is preparing to announce a plan that would forgive $10,000 in loans, phasing out that gift at $150,000 in income for a taxpayer filing individually and $300,000 for a couple filing jointly.

The "easy" solution is to give everyone $150,000 with a string attached, requiring the money to go to your student loans first. Trump showed us that the government can give "free" money to all citizens. This will just be 50x more. Let the citizens decide if their money should be used to go to college, avoid working night shifts, or even go on a year long cruise. This will be a much fairer solution then giving money just to college educated people who haven't yet pay what they promise they would.

Regarding inflation and deinsensitiving working, well if you make a bad law, expect a bad outcome.
Someone else has already posted this above, but the K2 project [0] is intended to do exactly this (along with some nice integration into PyTorch).

There's a big cross-over with the Kaldi team, so this seems (partly) motivated by a desire to improve/expand Kaldi to combine WFSTs with auto-grad learning (though K2 as a whole is a generic framework, and nothing is specific to voice).

It's still in its early days and I haven't delved into the details yet, but I suspect this will be the go-to method for speech recognition in a few years' time. Given that a few other teams are working on similar toolkits (see elsewhere in this thread), it seems a lot of people see promise.

I'm guessing you're running with the "Experts believe it contains at least 200 tons of gold, silver and emeralds" line from the article. Without further breakdown you don't really know if you're talking about $12 billion (if virtually all of the 200 tons is gold) or $150 million (if the hoard is virtually all silver) or (probably) somewhere in between.

EDIT: Further research (reading the Wikipedia page) makes it sound closer to your estimate. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_galleon_San_José:

> The wreck of the San José is estimated to be worth about $14.43 billion as of 2021, based on the speculation that it had up to 11 million 4-doubloons (i.e. 11 million 8 escudos gold coins, or 11 million coins each of 27 grams of 92% gold, totaling 8.8 million troy ounces AGW, or $11.5 billion) and many silver coins on board at the time of its sinking

I now heartily endorse your plan!
I started in 2008 and I would be hopeless at certain things that I am sure were essential 20 years prior.

Thinking React is essential to make an API call is a bit scary, but a future where we just click a few buttons and connect to a hot reloading syncing dev env with all the dependencies and transpiles obfuscated, seem inevitable, and it will be so reliable that we forget or never even learn how it works under the hood.

Because the person who paid their own debt is paying double - for their own and then for everyone who got forgiveness. Forgiveness is a misnomer as it is really a transfer of tax dollars from one person to another. There is no free lunch.
It’s an atheist’s most religious dream to think of becoming one’s own creator. It’s nonsense, of course, but it definitely blew my mind reading it as a child. What set the parameters that the ultimate computer must work within? The ultimate computer can reverse entropy, but it can’t make its own reality. There are limits to the power of knowledge.
America does a pretty good job culturally exporting its violently oppressive Protestant work ethic to the rest of the world … but this is why that’s bad.

This isn’t about the parents getting time off… good grief it’s like the quoted person has never even helped to look after a child under 1 year old… they are a full time job!

The socioeconomic policies regarding supporting families by things like maternity and paternity leave are there to support healthy future generations of citizens. These things are good, to use a horrible oversimplification your friend is being ageist against children under 1, quite obviously some of the most vulnerable humans on the planet, and a pretty shitty human being to anyone who is a new parent.
Yes, for sure. If we do forgive loans it is pointless if we don’t fix the underlying issue.
Edwin Kaal – The Structured Atom Model and Transmutations (2019)
It's worth forgiving student loans, even if people will be mad because they already paid theirs off. It's such a selfish mentality to think because you went through something hard and missed the boat, everyone else has to as well.

However, I don't think this will really solve anything. It's will empty our collective cup of debt, but the faucet is still on. Loans will still be made and college will still be stupidly expensive unless we make more structural changes to our education system. How many times will we "forgive" the debt? It doesn't really even make sense to do it until we have a plan in place to make sure we won't have to again.
They'd also make a decent home server as well with a tiny footprint.
I’m always left amazed, confused and disappointed when I read about this.

How did something so monumental get built and demonstrated, but then not get followed up on for more than 30 years?

Were there humongous caveats involved in the demo that made it impossible to leave the lab even for major corporations?
Looks like the separate materialization (what's stored in cache) is schematized?

I will take a closer read. It seems similar to what I described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31676849.

What do you mean? He was funded by SRI for a long time, and spent time visiting other people and spreading the word. I first met him when he visited PARC, probably for the upteent time but I’d just joined.

He was full of interesting ideas, not someone who just had one big insight long ago, and was great to talk to about your own work.

His memorial service was full of amazing people whom he’d met and worked with in the Valley over the decades. Mind boggling how that works — quite different from a fully remote world. We talk about WFH vs office, but less about the value of running into Doug engelbart or don knuth while walking down the street.

It doesn't need to apply to above post, it can apply just as well to your statement that it means there's something wrong with the machine if it's an M1. If a slow or laggy connection affects responsiveness in launching desktop apps, that's definitely a reason it could feel slower that doesn't mean there's something wrong, as it would be completely by design.

Dick goes into this in some detail in "The Man in the High Castle". I don't think he understands it either but he gives clear examples of the behavior:

> 'All afternoon assorted officials examined the alternatives,' Mr. Tagomi said. 'This is most
authentic of dying old U.S. culture, a rare retained artifact carrying flavor of bygone halcyon day.'

> Mr. Baynes opened the box. In it lay a Mickey Mouse wristwatch on a pad of black velvet.

> Was Mr. Tagomi playing a joke on him? He raised his eyes, saw Mr. Tagomi's tense, concerned
face. No, it was not a joke. 'Thank you very much,' Baynes said. 'This is indeed incredible.'

> 'Only few, perhaps ten, authentic 1938 Mickey Mouse watches in all world today,' Mr. Tagomi
said, studying him, drinking in his reaction, his appreciation. 'No collector known to me has one,
sir.'

Of course in his story something else is happening too:

> In fact, as far as he knew, it had never occurred to them to ask themselves if the so-called historic art objects for sale in West Coast shops were genuine. Perhaps someday they would . . . and then the bubble would burst, the market would collapse even for the authentic pieces. A Gresham's Law: the fakes would undermine the value of the real. And that no doubt was the motive for the failure to investigate; after all, everyone was happy. The factories, here and there in the various cities, which turned out the-pieces, they made their profits. The wholesalers passed them on, and the dealers displayed and advertised them. The collectors shelled out their money and carried their purchases happily home, to impress their associates, friends, and mistresses.
A very honest answer. However each person's reality will dictate what they can do.
You've started showing up well after the fact in thread after thread to just leave your persistent brand of negativity.

I think the quotes I've shared make some mind of a reasonable case. You just being rude & snide again is low class. I at least tried to present, with humor & appreciation, a reasonable review. You havent provided any value, and you keep showing up to be a soggy sock.
You can say the phrase "task capability", but where is it? I mean, where is the universal capability? The comment that you have responded to lists a bunch of examples that fit a pattern of very non universal capabilities.

I think if anything was happening, it would be in Google Maps, in GCC, in Visual Studio, in image and 3D creation software, and everything else.

Heck, when will Outlook have enough intelligence to free me from managing appointment and meeting reminders?

I think it's sensible for an ordinary person to take the same attitude as with perpetual motion / free energy machines - the details don't matter, but can you sell me enough kilowatts to power my house (or car) or not? At what price?

I think of it similar to sports and import players. You use your quota on people like Adebayor not because they're cheap, but because they're the best in the world. They're there partly to inspire and partly to get shit done.

That said, they are often expensive too and have to justify their value like everyone else.
It's a static site, no reason for the server not to be able to handle thousands of connections at once with almost no configuration changes with some like Nginx or Apache. Or even a domain which points directly to a S3 bucket. Hope you're not looking at devop roles on who is hiring posts.

The government is really hard to sue. And technically they thought they had the right guy, hopefully he sues the gov using AAs payout, I would!
It makes sense, dwarf fortress is not suppose to be useful, it's a game, people play for the challenge... so destroying it's usefulness with bad UI doesn't mean much as it's not useful in the first place. But doing the same thing of destroying the usefulness of a actual useful product will cause people to not use it.

Replacing the steering wheel of a car with the DF UI, for example, will literally stop everyone from driving it.
Love it. I listened to an interview this morning on the Eurogamer podcast with _Citizen Sleeper_ creator Gareth Damian Martin, who spoke eloquently at length on this sort of thing. He felt (and I agree) that the video game - especially now - is such a great medium for exploring just this kind of thing.
Also Brazilian, I remember each and every time I was able to upgrade my computer. So much bliss. Living in the US now things are so much easier that you lose appreciation for what you're talking about. Keep the hustle going but allow yourself to improve your setup the second you can. The computer is the sword of the modern worker. If you were a samurai would you be swinging around some decade-old weapon?
Do you really think that most US voters are high-information voters? No. But they are high-motivation voters. Again, this hits at the fundamental difference - one voting system is about the overall stability of the society, in the other its about the primacy of the individual in (almost) all things. Let me ask - in the US, does the government have a duty to govern for/on-behalf-of non-voters?

WIth respect to party branch stacking, you're conflating the internal selection of candidates within a party, to the external election among candidates for an electoral seat. Please refer to the context of this article that we're all commenting on. I stand by my characterisation of Australian electoral system as one of the least corrupt in terms of the way the elections are run (which is what we - or at least I - are talking about).

As for your self-proclaimed "belief" that AEC is partisan ("the three majors receive preferential treatment"), please provide a citation for ANY kind of evidence that is true.

While preferential voting is not the same as proportional representation, the recent federal election here shows that people are less wedded to their blue/red inherited voting "teams" than ever before, with the greatest ever election to parliament of independent candidates and Greens, and the Greens now holding the balance of power in the Senate.

You may well look at Australia and see a "basketcase". I look at the US and see far worse than that. Is Australia perfect? Clearly not. I vote Green and I agree that most of what you've cited as issues, are indeed that. But my kids aren't more likely to die from gunshot wounds. A person won't die just because they can't afford private health insurance. As for "blasting away Afghanistani civilians" - there is a very public court case right now underway against the (highly decorated) soldier I assume you're referring to. Meanwhile, to the best of my knowledge, not a single individual at any level responsible for the "Collateral Murder" incident has been punished. I won't hold my breath.
There is the Ethical Source movement, that aims to prevent use of software by bad people. The FLOSS community doesn't even have resources enough to enforce the widespread violations of copyleft licenses, so it seems even more unlikely that Ethical Source folks will be able to enforce their licenses. There are lots of other reasons for the FLOSS approach too.

It’s not one or the other. It should be trivial to deploy to prod without complex configuration (modern edge compute platforms seem to do a good job of this). However, local testing should definitely still be a thing.

You may have gigabit but you’re still potentially traversing the world - latency is going to lengthen the duration of your test suite. Plus when deployed you’re dealing with flakiness that’s totally outside your control (external internet connectivity of CI tends to be flakier than local connections).

In terms of equity, I have not seen gigabit fiber be widely available. Nominally I have gigabit cable in San Francisco although real world performance is much wider variance than one might hope. And some junior members at the start of their career may be choosing to be as economical as possible (eg using just a cellular hotspot through their phone for all their connectivity needs). Heck, at the office I get maybe 50 mbit/s out of the wifi with no wired option (and that’s not talking about the quality of the wifi).

It’s a nice idea and may work on small teams. For anything moderately complex, you’ll want local AND cloud, not OR. Also make sure to design for both from the get go.

Source: I’ve seen the gamut of what works and keeps testing infra humming smoothly along for dev teams of all sizes/maturity. Everyone learns the lesson of being able to run tests locally at some point.

Remote development on cloud servers can work and is an orthogonal thing. But if possible don’t use cloud services if possible (ie use local simulators/emulators if possible and they do a decent enough job).

Of course, that’s not how it works in real life.

If mooching is so pleasurable why isn’t everyone doing it?

Because being poor in the US is really hard. Getting government benefits in the US is really hard. And the way a lot of government benefits are structured, with a whole bunch of cliffs because of ridiculous means testing, it’s extremely difficult to get out of a cycle of dependence on govt benefits.

It’s hilarious seeing people, whose college education was almost entirely covered by the government (you could pay your college education working part time at your local burger place because it was so heavily subsidized, and that’s not even including the massive percentage of people who got free education from the govt because they were enlisted in a variety of wars), complaining about the fact that the govt may forgive student loans that students take decades to pay despite being in the top 10-20% of income brackets.

And frankly, if these people were really concerned about those who worked hard and paid off loans being chumps, as opposed to opposing any help for anyone who is not in the top 0.1% (remember that multi trillion tax cut passed not even half a decade ago?), maybe they would propose something else that compensated for the massive decrease in educational support, massive increase in college prices, and the massive increase in the need for a college degree to get a job, by proposing something like tax credits for whatever tuition you paid over the last several years. So, for example, you get tax credits worth 10-(2022-tuition year)0.8tuition, so tax credits for the last 10’years of tuition, at 80% last year, and then reducing linearly till it drops to 0 for tuition paid more than 10 years ago.

Or adjust it some other way that makes sense.
It was never stolen though. Wars of conquest and slavery were perfectly legal under international law at the time.

I agree it’s a dick move by Spain and really tarnishes their reputation today. But that’s not a legal argument.

I bought a 3D printer then had to learn 3D modelling so got into Blender.

Blender certainly works. Though keep in mind that mechanical parts - gears, bearings etc - are often easier to model in other CAD though plugins are changing this for Blender.

The artistic side of Blender however allows things that other CAD can't dream of. Make an object, turn it liquid, turn on gravity, run a few frames of simulation to get a melted effect.
The nice thing about these systems (Materialize/Timely/Differential-Dataflow/Noria/ReadySet) is that the invalidation pipeline is automatically derived from the query structure. The user just needs to know how to write their query (regular SQL with Materialize/ReadySet), pipe in the source-of-truth changelog from all the tables in the database, and the system takes care of the rest. Your answer is somewhat vague about how to build the invalidation pipeline. I think that's what many people find challenging about cache design.
