On the broadest level this is pernicious nonsense. My vocabulary is failing me this morning. What's the word for when something (humans) is like a version of something else (other primates) that hasn't fully grown up?

We are like chimpanzee babies that do not mature into chimps, instead we mature into these weird big-headed talking hive apes. Um, the point is that remaining young is a large part of how humans became human.

What we need to do is create a more Sesame Street-style sane and healthy environment.

What we call "adulthood" is the stress and trauma of dealing with physical constraints from which we protect children. Now that those physical constraints are largely gone (thanks to science and technology) the remaining constraints are mostly leftover logistical glitches. Ergo, life should get easier, the responsibilities less onerous, and people should remain young at heart.
> That's enough for the court to hear a case on it again.

No it’s not. The existence of an independent, unchallenged basis invariably kills the possibility of Supreme Court review.

Thomas is on solid legal footing to argue that the “Due Process” clause doesn’t protect anything other than the right to receive legal process before being deprived of a legal right.

Extrapolating from that to interracial marriage, which rests on a different and vastly firmer legal ground, is a dirty smear tactic against a man who is himself in an interracial marriage.
You could just as well argue that the issue with a voting age is that the people of that age might vote it make it harder for younger people to start voting.
Let me guess. Piracy is theft?
Used to play an awesome online tank game in the late 90s called Tanarus. It was also built by Verant Interactive and rumor had it was a test bed for developing EQ’s eventual net code.

Tanarus was eventually what got me into EQ, then later into WoW and still have very fond (if not rose colored) memories of those days!
What i never understood about it is where the "higher returns internationally" would come from. How can returns in a country where the capital is sorely lacking - and many businesses can be opened and operate in a virtually competition-free environment, are not created for not having money to start up - be lower than in developed nations that already have everything imaginable?
Breaking out of the long tail never had good odds.

I suspect the investment though for indie bands now is a lot cheaper (cheaper than say filling up the van at every college-town stop).
Quoting a WSJ article "The Controversial Economics of Abortion Law" https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-controversial-economics...:

"Competing views on the economics of abortion were a part of the Court’s considerations. A group of 240 female researchers who oppose abortion filed an amicus brief in the case, arguing that abortion access had set women back after Roe. Legalization, they argued, coincided with more women falling into poverty, women reporting lower levels of happiness in surveys and fewer women saying they were in satisfying long-term relationships.

An opposing group of 154 economists, led by Prof. Myers, filed their own amicus brief in response, pointing to “a substantial body of well-developed and credible research” that contradicted the anti-abortion brief. They argued that in giving women more control over their childbearing preferences, abortion legalization led to a range of social and economic benefits for women, particularly related to education and work.

Research on these questions hinges on the fact that a number of states legalized abortion before the Supreme Court did so nationally with its 1973 decision in Roe. Economists saw an opportunity to examine the economic and social effects of abortion access by looking at the states that had legalized abortion by 1970—Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York and Washington—and several others that had liberalized restrictions. By comparing them to states that legalized later, they had a natural experiment."
it certainly is not futile. it's futile to try and hide. what's not futile is to spray out false information that muddies the real stuff. if OP wants to obfuscate his real name, he can associate his username with 3 different false identities, a throwaway phone number, a false nationality, etc.

obviously it's a little paranoid and arrogant to assume that anyone cares enough to go through my comments, but occasionally, on websites like this and reddit, I will just outright lie about where I'm from, or what my age or gender or ethnicity or sexuality is
They're referring to maintainers of projects that GitHub relies on for their own work, so calling them "our maintainers" isn't much of a linguistic stretch.
The best thing about childhood to me was probably being worry-free. After you've done your homework or passed a test in school, there was absolutely nothing more to worry about your mind was 100% free to play and explore. Such state is practically inobtainable for people with complex office jobs such as software engineering, and even in mindless menial jobs you can be gnawed by existential doubts ("Am I wasting my life here?") which didn't torment us in childhood.
It seems strange to expect the internet to keep your privacy for you, if your PII has been leaked by you. Nobody else but you can know what you want done with your information, and people choose to post PII routinely, so it’s not possible to assume that when someone posts PII it’s actually private or an error. GPT-3 cannot be blamed for reciting things you can find in a Google search, and it doesn’t matter if the results are on page 1 or page 20. These days there usually are ways to fix leaky posts, if it is taken care of immediately, but not if you wait a few years. Either way, this doesn’t feel like clear enough thinking about what should and should not happen, nor about what society wants. I want control of my privacy, and if the internet were to scrub PII without my authorization, which seems like what you’re suggesting, that would not be control.
Model's that can't have personal data scrubbed are a dead end. Legally companies must be able to scrub data to comply with the CCPA, GDPR, and likely other future laws.

Scrubbing AI output is not sufficient.
So does the Library of Babel.
>But The Long Tail wasn’t necessarily about the long tail being bigger than head. It was that long tail was viable at all.

Anderson's point was somewhat different as I recall. It wasn't that individual long tail content is necessarily financially viable for its creators. (Which seems mostly true even if there are some breakouts who wouldn't have existed at least in the same form 25 years ago.) It's that long tail content in aggregate could be financially viable for distributors and other sellers--which seems at least somewhat true.

With a hindsight lens, you could argue that the long tail was about profiting off the labor of free and low-paid content creation--although a somewhat counterargument is that consumers get a lot of value too and much of the content is stuff that would never have seen the light of day at least beyond a tiny circle of friends and fans in past times.
Ectopic pregnancies and other medical emergencies are usually excluded from abortion laws. Law makers could always do something dumb though, there's lots of precedent for that.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but the tools/apps would probably in the very very bottom of my list of things to worry about.

That said I'd use:

Communication: Gmail

CRM: Google Docs

Team Collaboration: Google Sheets

All free tools, no need to get fancy here. Again, the least of my worries.

If you think crypto will be bailed out by governments, keep dreaming.
> China style credit system would hit the West soon

It is being tested in Itlay, Netherlands, Venezuela, UK, and thrown around as an idea in other places.

I have listened to Chinese friends rant about it. It is scary as hell. They will limit your transportation methods based on your social credit score.
Author here. Thanks for the comment.

The comment on the Ad Blocker is fair. I don't recommend any, but if you chose one from the top list of Extensions in Firefox or Chrome, you should be fine (I don't use one, btw).

Agree with your Chromium remark. It's there for people to know it's possible if they don't like Firefox.

I have a good experience with my QNAP without much effort. The Apps are ok and work well. The security is indeed a problem and you have to keep it constantly updated.
In a secured system, you disable BPF in Linux.
Can you point to a concrete example of one that someone would run into when using the differential equation solvers with the default and recommended Enzyme AD for vector-Jacobian products? I'd be happy to look into it, but there do not currently seem to be any correctness issues in the Enzyme issue tracker that are current (3 issues are open but they all seem to be fixed, other than https://github.com/EnzymeAD/Enzyme.jl/issues/278 which is actually an activity analysis bug in LLVM). So please be more specific. The issue with Enzyme right now seems to moreso be about finding functional forms that compile, and it throws compile-time errors in the event that it cannot fully analyze the program and if it has too much dynamic behavior (example: https://github.com/EnzymeAD/Enzyme.jl/issues/368).

Additional note, we recently did a overhaul of SciMLSensitivity (https://sensitivity.sciml.ai/dev/, as part of the new https://docs.sciml.ai/dev/) and setup a system which amounts to 15 hours of direct unit tests doing a combinatoric check of arguments with 4 hours of downstream testing (https://github.com/SciML/SciMLSensitivity.jl/actions/runs/25...). What that identified is that any remaining issues that can arise are due to the implicit parameters mechanism in Zygote (Zygote.params). To counteract this upstream issue, we (a) try to default to never default to Zygote VJPs whenever we can avoid it (hence defaulting to Enzyme and ReverseDiff first as previously mentioned), and (b) put in a mechanism for early error throwing if Zygote hits any not implemented derivative case with an explicit error message (https://github.com/SciML/SciMLSensitivity.jl/blob/v7.0.1/src...). We have alerted the devs of the machine learning libraries, and from this there has been a lot of movement. In particular, a globals-free machine learning library, Lux.jl, was created with fully explicit parameters https://lux.csail.mit.edu/dev/, and thus by design it cannot have this issue. In addition, the Flux.jl library itself is looking to do a redesign that eliminates implicit parameters (https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl/issues/1986). Which design will be the one in the end, that's uncertain right now, but it's clear that no matter what the future designs of the deep learning libraries will fully cut out that part of Zygote.jl. And additionally, the other AD libraries (Enzyme and Diffractor for example) do not have this "feature", so it's an issue that can only arise from a specific (not recommended) way of using Zygote (which now throws explicit error messages early and often if used anywhere near SciML because I don't tolerate it). tl;dr: don't use Zygote.params, the ML AD devs know this its usage is being removed ASAP.

So from this, SciML should be rather safe and if not, please share some details and I'd be happy to dig in.
Are you talking about the high seas or copyright infringement?

Either way, it's irrelevant to the topic at hand.
What does superset mean, here? Inheritance can mandate the presence of certain fields at compile time, which duck typing cannot do, so it doesn't fit my traditional definition of "superset".
I'm a big fan of Gitea for small teams. Its also rather lightweight.

Is this genuinely how you imagine life in the suburbs? You don’t think anyone socialises here or takes part in any culture?
Millions of people are being conditioned by their religion to believe exactly this.

Your parent didn't call anyone a name, but described as "ugly" the actions of the people who impugn GitHub/MS for this act that benefits open source maintainers--and surely seeks positive PR for GitHub/MS as well.

(Meanwhile, you solely mention the PR aspect of this act, as if there is no other benefit in the equation. There are two general entities that will benefit from this, although some here seem to prefer no benefit whatsoever befall GitHub/MS and even want to turn this into negative PR. Anyway, assuming it does turn out to be net-positive PR for GitHub/MS, then 900 devs as well as GitHub/MS will benefit from this act.)
Absolutely untrue, the adoption of GDPR has forced massive changes on the part of big tech.

> For many, adulthood means trading a life entirely devoted to learning for one in which you only read (maybe) two books a year. It means swapping a full schedule of sports, clubs, and music lessons for having exactly zero hobbies (unless watching Netflix counts).

I don't get it. You can still do those things as an adult. In fact, it's easier, because you don't need the cooperation of your teachers or parents. You can just do whatever you want.

If you're an adult, and you haven't got any hobbies, and you want hobbies, just take up a hobby? I honestly don't get it.
For ASCII encoding the MSB isn't going to get much action so technically they could have gotten away with 7 bits/switches instead of 8 bits/switches.

Although with 8 bits they could input UTF-8 unicode which is nice.

"Back in the day" large (formerly automotive-style) paddle switches were far nicer on the fingertips than submini toggles.
In no other case is a human being, living or dead, legally required to give up their organs, bodily fluids, or other part of themselves, nor to literally risk their lives, for another human being.

Hey everyone! I put together a functional reactivity library that uses observable functions as it's primitive for tracking state and changes. It's super tiny (850B), fast, only re-computes the dirty parts of a computation tree, batches updates via a scheduler on to the microtask queue, and works in both browsers and Node. Love any feedback :)
At the risk of being overly pedantic and engaging on semantics, it does say "the beginning of a human being", rather than "human being". i.e. a piece of metal might be the beginning of a sword, but is not actually a sword.

This is a very tricky discussion because definitions and semantics are so important, and not everyone agrees on them. The main point I attempted to make in my previous post is that it would advance the debate to move away from these type of semantics, and rather engage on more fundamental – and harder – questions like "when are rights conferred to a (human) being?"
Then why not call it just a repo and build a monolith?

I've seen people going crazy with this bullshit of monorepos to the point every single directory was a "package" when it could be just a plain module import.

If you want to do microservices, then putting everything back into a single repository and enforcing everyone to use the same version and every change to require upgrades and deploys across the board is totally backwards.

Either do a monolith and have that consistency, or do microservices and allow teams to follow their own rules as long as they keep APIs stable.

Nonorepos + microservices is just a demonstration of everything that's wrong in the technical aspects of our industry. Just applying absolutely everything you read about without even considering if it might be better or not for your specific use case.
> I think the main argument that Dawkins wanted to make is that many pro-choice arguments are completely missing the point and don't engage with the pro-life arguments at all

I agree, but I think Dawkins fell prey to the exact same problem. He ignored the religion behind the pro-life movement and tried to break it down into biological terms. Is that really engaging?

I like how the internet gives everyone an opportunity to voice their opinion. Unfortunately it means every random person can write something that sound authoritative even though there is no accuracy.

The title is something lots of people are interested in, but then the author has lists sources, no evidence and doesn't even write a profile about who they are.
It would also help the planet greatly if we stopped sending aid to Africa and other poor nations. Without our help, their populations would decline quite a bit, reducing their meat consumption and emissions by a huge amount. I know this is an unpopular sentiment but we have to be pragmatic.
Calling it a Merkle style DAG would have solved the issue.

Or just avoid the fancy names and call it what it is: they walk the dependency graph to identify build targets that have a changed dependency.
"Tracking the source of a new insight from a board/subreddit like that and over the weeks seeing it bleed into other sites, then eventually into real life news programs and so on can be super interesting."

Like injecting a tracer into the blood and seeing how it flows through the system -- that does sound super fascinating. Have you ever actually done it? I'm trying to think of how in practice you'd go about it, given how much noise there is for any signal. Any more specific tips would be welcomed.

Forums for sci-model builders — where kit-makers can sell you a resin kit made in their garage of Luke Skywalker's "T-167 Sky Hopper" (or whatever).

Electronic kits you would not have found in Radio Shack: Kim-1 replicas, Apple-I replicas, a SCSI emulator for vintage computers, etc.

Fan films that you would have been lucky to catch at a sci-fi convention are now a click away on YouTube.

And never mind how many of these garage kits, fan films, etc, would have even been produced if there were not a niche forum where these could be sold/displayed.
East Asia is the only region which was certainly 'poor' but now can be described as somewhat 'rich', and they are all more or less followed the same pattern:

- low wage, high volume, light industry for export
- lower wage, high volume, heavy industry
- multi-decade protectionism to raise global competitive domestic champions
- no democracy, if you can help it to ensure political stability to execute multi-decade strategy

Idiosyncratic caveats:

- Japan got its boost particularly by becoming the arms manufacturer for the US in the Korean War

- Singapore / Hong Kong also had financial liberalisation / international money laundering for the Brits

- Korea / Taiwan / Hong Kong also had shipping

China has followed clearly the same trend (note the irrelevance of the political system, main thing is to avoid democratic instability), simply becoming more massive than any before because it is inherently massive, and has therefore even greater economies of scale to leverage.

Crypto has given back its money-printer-fueled gains since 2020. Tech stocks have done the same. Why should one set of companies should be more worried than the other? The market gives, the market takes away.

I've worked and traveled in many developing countries, and the key seems to be to get to the point where you have a self-perpetuating middle class: there have to be enough people with disposable income that they can start a virtuous cycle where their spending pulls other people out of poverty. And this is most easily (if that's the word) done by creating factory jobs that both pay better than farming and reward the entrepreneurial. This happened in China, in Singapore, in Korea, in Japan, in Thailand, and thanks to the BPO industry it's starting to happen in the Philippines and India as well. Alas, it's manifestly failing to happen in Africa.

As it happens, I'm typing this in a mid-tier Vietnamese city of some fame as a beach resort. Coming out the War of American Aggression (as they call it here), Vietnam had a hardline Communist government and sub-Saharan Africa levels of poverty, with most people earning a dollar a day or less, but in the 1980s they finally started experimenting with capitalism. When I first visited this city in the early 2000s, there were a few hotels, but they catered almost exclusively to adventurous foreigners.

In 2022, the equation has been flipped completely on its head: the beach is packed side to side with highrises that could easily be in Miami or the Gold Coast, and 99% of the visitors here are now locals. This applies even at the top-end places like the Western chain hotel I'm staying at, which is completely booked out, and the expensive seafood restaurants: the one I ate at tonight was doing a roaring trade in imported Alaskan king crabs selling for hundreds of US dollars each. And for every hi-so there's 10 or 100 regular folks on company-sponsored getaways and the like, and behind every domestic tourist there's the local low-cost airline with its air crew and ground staff, the Grab (Uber) driver, the tour guide, the IT guy sorting out the hotel's networking, etc etc.
