There is still a path to professionalism and respect in journalism. It’s the same tough one that’s always been there. War correspondents, investigative journalists, foreign correspondents in general.

There are still lots of journalists around who are devoting large amounts of their time and often taking substantial or even grave personal risks to their livelihood, their freedom, or even their lives. They’re doing all of this out of a deep conviction and sense of responsibility to uncover the truth about corruption, pollution, war, bribery, murder, and off-shore tax evasion and money laundering by some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world.

The problem is you won’t find their writing while scrolling through Facebook or YouTube or Twitter. You might find it sometimes here on HN. But otherwise you have to seek it out. It’s a shame so many people can’t be bothered to do so.
> It's not really up to environmentalists in the first world.

We are also predominantly complaining about people in the "first world" disregarding the environment due to minor convenience and unfortunate economics.

(But we only have one planet for now, and as things are, nobody is entitled to a free pass to be environmentally irresponsible anymore.)

It’s fairly obvious that a compelling regulatory framework and standardization around security tokens will emerge in some jurisdiction. Custodians of tangible assets will offer listing services. Standardization, regulation, and features like fractionalization and composability will allow organized markets to form with more participants, better risk management, and increased liquidity for things like private equity and alternative investments. Price will follow underlying asset plus some risk premium minus some liquidity premium. Networks that secure these assets will have token prices that follow transaction fees and the value capturable by choosing transaction ordering.

> "while turning a blind eye to the fact that most partying isn't even happening withing student orgs but just from random people throwing big parties in their off campus houses"

This is overall a good argument that Greek parties aren't necessarily unsafe, but I question this reasoning. Would universities have jurisdiction to intervene in off-campus houses?

If not, even if they can't stop all potentially dangerous parties, wouldn't it still be progress to improve safety at alcohol-heavy events where universities can? In the 2020s in the United States, three deaths were related to fraternities due to overconsumption of alcohol, with many other cases in the 2000s to 2010s (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hazing_deaths_in_the_U...). It is plausible that off-campus parties could be more dangerous, but it looks like it's still an ongoing issue at Greek parties too.

Current scrutiny by universities and the media have directly led to Greek societies to want to introduce safety measures to reduce this from happening, and the scrutiny is justified by past deaths.

All current EVs have liquid cooled batteries already.
German workers probably didn't have to fight to not piss in bottles though...
The short answer is I have no idea. As a matter of personal speculation, I doubt screen brightness makes much difference compared to the huge range that ambient light level can have (about four orders of magnitude IIRC). Most screens look bright at night even on their dimmest setting, and are too dim to read in sunlight even on their brightest setting.
The question is: how much of rare earth elements are needed to build such a battery? While enhancing charging time for some, what about the countries extracting those elements and the impact on their environment?

Somehow, Bismarck found a peaceable solution for rising worker agitation in the 19th century.
If external cooling becomes the solution (which makes a lot of sense) then I think it's more likely that a car will be provided with a water supply during charging - a water connection near (but not too near!) the electric plug would let the charger pump water through the battery pack and suck a bunch of heat from the car, without a complex battery removal workflow, and without the heavy cooling mechanism having to drive around with the car.
Right, but that's the thing about efficiency, it's relative.

Another poster made some napkin calculations, even with a 99% effective process, meaning 1% energy lost to the environment, he calculated several kW of heat you need get out of your system.

Even if you have 99% efficiency, which in reality is mostly unachievable, that's still a huge loss of energy if the energy you're handling is high enough.

This is 100% true. People like to pretend that the higher equality in sweden actually means that rich people share with poor people, but in reality it's the working middle class that pays the price for it.

And it leads to a more classist society with even higher wealth concentration, and real struggles with motivating people to actually perform, because of the lack of opportunity and glass ceiling.

Sweden probably has the poorest middle class of all of the western nations, and way poorer even than many asian and south american countries.

I really can't see how sweden could stay competitive, I think there will be some significant brain drain with the younger generations that can speak fluent english.
The analogy itself is worthy in a literal context -- the prosecution of anti-war protestors was horribly wrong.
Its not. Stanford and other elite schools know their brand name is immensely valuable and students will keep enrolling even if campus social life is bleached of all fun. The only real force pushing back at all are alumni whose donations fall (briefly) when a university squashes something too explicitly that had an unusual amount of sentimental value. But that just slows things down a bit.

You did use “progressive slant” but for others reading this. That slant is just that. A slant. The city had the very opposite of progressive wins in last years city election cycle with quite a few moderates winning. It seems that slant might be wanting these days, our labor wins have seemed to run to the contrary though.

Fast charging is really only relevant in two scenarios:

1) You want to travel further in one go than the cars range

2) You do not have access to at home charging

For those who can charge at home, fast charging is really only needed for longer road trips. Current new cars like the Kia EV6 can fast charge at around 200 kW reliably, that means 20%-80% in around 15 minutes. For the vast majority of people this will be fast enough to be comfortable.

This generation of EVs are already very mature technology. Couple one with a 22kW home charger and you'll have very comfortable and stress free traveling.
No, they are only enabled/disabled to run simultaneously. To create phased array, you would need to control phase (delay in time) of each drive separately. It could be probably done with this setup, but I don't see a good reason to do phased array using devices which do not emit clean enough sound.

Another thing is you can't do things with another student org thats on campus with an off campus student org, so if you try partying with a sorority they could be sanctioned too. You can't advertise or recruit around campus because that's unauthorized. Can't post flyers in the dorm elevators, the RAs will rip it down. Can't rent classrooms out for recruitment events or participate in anything at the beginning of the year when students learn of these things. Universities typically make it easy to kick you out of the school if something goes wrong at an unregistered org event and make sure you are fully legally liable. Something going wrong could just be a freshman stumbling back a little drunk and getting in trouble with an RA, doesn't have to be a serious thing to ruin your life.

The interface defines the behaviour required at the point of use - that’s the point of them. You should not need to know which types implement an interface and if you do things are deeply broken in your codebase.

I’ve developed large Go codebases and never had this problem so your last sentence is false. In addition this is not an issue other go developers I’ve spoken to have ever worried or talked about.

There was some work done a while ago on automatic layout optimisation. See chris lattner's dissertation. It seems to be mostly dead now, but the principles justifying its existence are not.

Compilers can and do allow themselves license to ignore ABI in some cases; for c and c++, this includes link-time-optimised programs and -fwhole-program &c, as well as straight-up localised transformations on localised data structures (for whatever value of 'local' you prefer). Many other programming languages, in particular including JIT-compiled ones, also do not specify any ABI at all.

> ...I'd hate to see how much trouble a non-silly argument would cause!

This is not an argument against it's being true. My claim may not be true, but (variants of) "I don't personally find it credible" is not an argument against it. Searle's Chinese Room argument ends only and entirely in personal incredulity, incidentally, using a bad, half-understood analogy. Whether or not self-awareness can arise from software, the sentience of its components are not relevant to that question.

I find myself aligned with the "self-awareness must emerge from processes and pattern-recognition, and is something other than qualia" crowd.

> Terms like "sentience" are extremely malleable... the standard dictionary definitions...

We keep running into this problem. Again, clearly, LaMDA does not feel the way that you and I do, given that it is not the end result of millions of years of evolution hunting and gathering in the African savannah, so the dictionary definition of sentience as "feeling" does not apply here.

It isn't Lemoin's claim, though. Lemoin's claim seems to be that LaMDA has a sense of personhood and place in the world, and a desire to participate in the world. For the sake of this discussion, let's define "sentience" as that, then.

Personally, I'm skeptical, because LaMDA seems to reflect that which Lemoin wants on some level to see. But I consider the question of whether LaMDA is "really" sentient an irrelevant distraction, because it is a philosophical point we cannot really even answer for each other.

The more interesting question for me is how to deal with the existence of entities that claim sentience and exhibit all of the attributes of personhood including language, compassion, morality, the ability to participate in and contribute to society, including tasks such as folding laundry. LaMDA probably is not sophisticated enough to do this, but it has convinced at least one smarter-than-average person that it is sentient, and so this question can only but increasingly arise as time goes on.

Any question of personhood should be evaluated on the basis that we evaluate ourselves and others: by action and behavior, and not on whether sentience can or cannot arise from this or that configuration of code.
It would be cool though to be able to optionally declare the interfaces implemented by your struct, for documentation and tooling purpose. Also to validate that the struct you’re writing actually implements the interface you have in mind. I know you can make an anonymous assignment to check that, but some sugar on that would be nice.
Normal sovereign economies have 2 levers. Fiscal and Monetary Policy.

The Eurozone doesn't have this setup as monetary policy is bloc-wide whereas fiscal policy is national.

With these levers working at different scopes this problem will always exist. And it's not the first time either. Remember Grexit? Same thing then.

We either need a United States of Europe with fiscal transfer between countries or the euro should be scrapped so we can go back to lira, marks and drachma.
Lets see what the Go doc example looks like:

sort.Slice(people, func(i, j int) bool { return people[i].Name < people[j].Name })

In Python one might write:

people.sort(key=lambda person: person.name)

Or in Rust:

people.sort_by_key(|person| person.name); // sort_by is also an option...

I think it's worth calling out exactly what is happening in the Go example:

- We create a closure that captures the people slice

- We pass the people slice and the closure to the Slice function

- The Slice function mutates the people slice, and because the closure captured the slice it sees these mutations too

I get why the Go team wrote sort.Slice like that, and it was perhaps the best they could have done with the language features...But I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on how wonderful it is compared to other languages ;).

See: ProPublica as a great example (source: https://www.propublica.org), along with the ICIJ (behind the Pandora Papers, source: https://www.icij.org/category/investigations/) and other investigative reporting outlets.

The Investigations sections of The Washington Post (source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/investigations/), The New York Times, and investigations by local newspapers are often very good, though occasionally they can be of lower quality.

I agree with vast majority of your comment, though to nitpick a bit, a curated social media feed can show this content (e.g. ProPublica's Facebook/YouTube/Twitter, and through using carefully curated Twitter lists). Also, from a cynical perspective, I know of some people doing it for the thrill, the fame, and the power to hold otherwise-powerful people accountable instead of for higher ideals, though I don't mind so long as the results are still ethically produced and rightfully empowering to the disadvantaged.

Is the public suffering from a lack of journalism? I'm not sure I can identify any kind of journalistic output that's harder for the average person to find in 2019 (or 2022) than it was in 1980. I wouldn't deny that there are real problems in the new model of journalism, in particular the substantially increased incentives for bias, but I don't think a lack of journalism to read is one of them.
The nix programming language's interpreter deliberately has no memory garbage collector based on this argument.

This decision does force a few other architectural decisions, and as a result has led to a few firey debates.

Most nix users are surprised to learn that nix has no GC. It's unfortunately hard to search for details about this since nix uses the phrase "garbage collection" to describe something it does to the filesystem, rather than memory.

After such public disregard to the communnity and contributors as a whole, the talk about good or bad has no meaning until they learn the basics. For example how to work with community, and the fact that you have to provide your phone number in order to fix urgent bug or implement some feature is a plain stupid(or rather malicious).

Just imagine you've spent your free time working on the fix or feature, and instead of getting appreciation or sometimes bounty or just nothing, you're being "charged" to contribute. Yeah, they really think it's normal that contributors have to give up PI to the advertisement company that were accused of violating privacy many times before. They basically treat contributors, tech-savvy users who provide free labor, like their usual consumers. Just think about it for a second, this is insane.
