We read this in 8th grade, and I remember connecting to it very deeply. I think I related to it because when I was very young I was mostly oblivious to the people around me, I lived in my own imagination a lot of the time- probably to escape the traumatic reality I was living in. When I grew older I began to be more aware of people around me, at first I I was very naïve but slowly grew to realize some of the people I sought validation and acceptance from were cruel, sometimes through indifference, negligence, or abusiveness. I cared very deeply about many things, and I used to believe this was something everyone felt. It was an incredibly painful experience to invest so much effort in order to begin to interact with others, only to find a reality drastically different than what I had when I was sheltered in my mind. Reading that story resonated with my sense of loss, alienation, and being ridiculed for things that were beyond my control. There were times I wished I could hide in my mind and regain my ability to tune everything out, and the story spoke to me very personally when I read it even though it wasn't until many uears later that I understood why.
What about the content was in a “flamewar style”? It seems more like a removal tool for unpopular opinions.

What is your end-goal here? To see if other people are using your wifi? To see how long you're connected? Something else? What information do you want in the email? How is that information going to be collected before sending it? Is your system already on, or do you turn it on when you get home? Is the system always logged-in to the wifi, or do you always log out of the wifi after using it?

Too many variables to give you any answer at all.

Hello Tor folks,

I'm reaching out to share the following which may be of interest:

Last year, OONI wrote a research paper, Measuring DoT/DoH Blocking Using OONI Probe: A Preliminary Study

Which was presented at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS'21) as part of the DNS Privacy Workshop

You can read this paper here: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/dnspriv21-...

This study involves an investigation of encrypted DNS (DoT & DoH) blocking in Kazakhstan, Iran, and China with a new OONI Probe experiment (DNSCheck).

Today, we're publishing a blog post with a summary of findings (and video presentation) : https://ooni.org/post/2022-doh-dot-paper-dnsprivacy21/

You can also find a summary of findings through this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/15377642474422681...

(Nitter : https://nitter.net/OpenObservatory/status/153776424744226816... )

You can help contribute measurements on encrypted DNS blocking by running OONI Probe: https://ooni.org/install

Thanks, Maria.<

This book really it me hard when I read it as a kid. When I re-read it as an adult it was still amazing and a very different, more subtle work.

I think the reason it resonates so much with the young adult audience is that Charlie represents the life they are just starting to go though.

We all start out helpless, ignorant, and dependent. We grow into our primes and achieve amazing things. We then lose our abilities and facilities as we age and become dependent again.

But through all these changes, who am I? What makes me a good and worthwhile person when my abilities change and no one else really understands?
This used to be a problem but nowadays there are algorithmically (“AI”) generated maps with so many points that repeats are rare. A new map with 50000 locations can be generated in an afternoon.
I think possibly what they meant is "when using an object oriented language like Java or C#", aggregate the code as methods of a static class.
There are bats almost everywhere in the world, including Wuhan. The question isn't bats, but bats carrying sarbecoviruses related to SARS-CoV-2, not just betacoronaviruses. Dr. Shi herself has stated that she didn't expect such bats anywhere near Wuhan:

> We have done bat virus surveillance in Hubei Province for many years, but have not found that bats in Wuhan or even the wider Hubei Province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. I don't think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in Wuhan or in Hubei Province.

I've responded to you with this link before, and you didn't reply. It begins to feel like you are willfully disregarding all evidence contrary to your predetermined view, which is unfortunate.
That is another problem.

And it anyway affects only the US, a very small fraction of world population or land area. That the US is a very large part of the problem, e.g. importing beef, does not help.
> BSD and MIT license still require attribution of the used source code

Which in this scenario could be accomplished by starting that “this software contains algorithmically generated code that was trained using MIT derived code from X, Y, and Z.

This attribution list would be very long, but it could be done.

I think the interesting thing here would be to compare the generated code with the original training data after the fact. If the generated code does not already exist (with some degree of similarity), then it would be okay to use. Otherwise, if it did already exist, you’d then need to attribute the authors of the chunk of code — which you’d now know.

I’m not discounting the hurdles involved, but there might be ways to overcome them.

we can know certain things about things that are smarter than us.

perhaps even smarter than a post singularity intelligence, for instance,

we are "computationally" equivalent to a turing machine: a tape with symbols on it and a head that reads and writes symbols to the tape according to rules.

the natural generalization of a turing machine to infinity would be a hyper turing machine: an infinitely wide tape and infinitely many heads.

if one were to employ some kind of godel numbering esque scheme, most (the overwhelming majority) of the symbols the hyper turing machine used in it's operation/had in it's rule lookup table would correspond to transcendental numbers, e.g. pi or e (cuz their cardinality is larger than natural numbers).

The alphabet our math uses is pretty much all finite. What percent of the axioms and theorems that you know are infinitely long? Shouldn't the overwhelming majority of axioms and theorems be infinitely long (and in particular map onto an uncountable set? (e.g. transcendental numbers).

So a hyper turing machine would be a supra-mathematical entity. But you can pretty much use math to deduce that.
This is cool, and kudos to you for writing it, and getting it out there. I've always found that more than half the "hard work" is actually finishing something and getting it out there, and you get all my respect for doing that.

Querying Excel spreadsheets with SQL, however, is something that can already be done with no additional tools, no custom plugins, just good old fashioned command line knowledge.

(first, download superstore.xls, some test data I found [0])

Yes I’d co-sign the core of what your saying here. It’s pretty alarming actually. And social issues are being used as a wedge/relief valve/distraction to avoid bringing too much attention to where things are materially going. I do believe that many economic issues are deeply related to some social issues and that’s where we might disagree.

I’m not too optimistic for team yellow though. We need good-faith experts to lead us through these times (and social trust) but the last few years have been as disastrous if not not more for wonks as the financial crisis. Between Fauci and J Powell it’s not looking too good
This is another reason that I find (optional but first-class) explicit lambda captures (adding syntax for C++'s approach) is better, because it prevents this kind of implicit and surprising behavior.
The only data offered are rates of accidents by manufacturer. By this logic Morris, a car company who went defunct in 1984, are the safest cars to drive. This is so obviously false one has to question the methodology. And the obvious flaw: small sample sizes mean high variance in the estimator.
If the price of Bitcoin always goes up and the efficiency of mining hardware always goes down, then I probably agree with you. But this is not the case! There is plenty of mining hardware, right now, that cannot be used to profitably mine Bitcoin. The lower the price goes, the higher the fraction of hardware for with this becomes true. To me, mining hardware that can’t honestly mine for a profit is just asking to be used to dishonestly mine.
Interesting how Clojure takes the complete opposite approach by simply making dicts immutable.

> This looks like a better open-source option

Comparing the code between the two, VirtualBuddy seems like the better option to me (albeit not by a lot though). They are both lightweight wrappers around MacOS’s built in hypervisor, so I’m really not sure what you’re going on.
Such a good a channel. With enough travel (or geoguessr it seems) you start to subconsciously notice themes that connect regions; the height of gutters, colour of soil, patterns of street pavers. It gets stored away without us noticing it, until one day something triggers it. I think it's innate, serving an important, though often under-utilised function. The game taps into that so well that his content was bound to be interesting, even without his easy charm.
You can't override moving to run a copy constructor, and this is usually a good thing, as much as having one would be convenient for Rc/Arc (where cloning is an incref rather than an actual deep clone).

> Average people living under pax Mongolia were not free to move about without good reason.

The legal situation varied, but regardless of the legalities there was no structure in place to enforce this.

> England overcame this with the demise of feudal systems.

Note that at around this time, England started passing laws that prohibited serfs from leaving their ancestral lands, and the reason the laws were suddenly passed is that the serfs had suddenly begun to leave. The laws had no effect on whether the serfs could leave, though; feudalism fell apart because the general population structure stopped supporting it.

let vec_len vec = vec |> map (fun x -> x ** 2.) |> sum

Or even

let square x = x ** 2.
let vec_len vec = vec |> map square |> sum

Honestly, if code like this is the biggest nitpick, I have a hard time taking the argument seriously.
There's simply no empirical evidence that you love your wife/mother, so it would be foolish to believe that you do. Until a study is funded there's just no way for you to know. Trust science
> VirtualBuddy is still experimental

Really? You’ve gotta be trolling, right?
I'm having a hard time thinking of a way code can ever be fully decoupled from data. When we decide it's better to have a name field rather than firstName and lastName does that mean we simplify NameCalculation.fullName to just return data.name? This seems to suggest we still have coupled code to data (the data structure being an object), it's just now a coupled function, but you have decoupled it enough to use NameCalculation in different contexts. Single responsibility classes are already recommended for reuse like this in OO.

Also when it comes to data validation, OO performs all of this validation too and in a much more compact and code-oriented, extensible way. Why would I write a separate schema when the object itself knows what it will accept, what is optional, and what range the values should be in? I'd imagine the schema and code could become incoherent.
I think you underestimate the ability of Fortune 500 IT departments to lock down laptops and workstations. It's difficult, but far from too difficult.
I saw one of those how they do it shows where the host went to an aluminum recycling plant, and this is how I learned there are lead alloys out there. They use an xray machine to sort those.

My favorite thing about some of these sorting systems is that they are online but not instantaneous. For any reasonable rate of objects passing by the scanner, they can determine yes/no (or maybe/no) in a fixed amount of time, say 10ms for illustration purposes. So the picker is 10ms down the conveyor from the sensor, and the signal arrives at the precise moment to activate the picker. More computers or faster computers let you increase the flow rate by increasing either the density or the speed of the conveyor, but it's always a realtime system.

For instance I don't think that lead aluminum alloys care too much if you get a little bit of soda can mixed in, but I sure care if you put lead alloy in my window screens or into my aluminum can (although the lining protects a lot of the can, it doesn't protect the lip or your sweaty hands, or the PR nightmare of discovering lead in the cans).

It's not an assumption, it's an assertion. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it's not ludditism to oppose the use of technology (new or old) in a way one believes is exploitative or harmful.
Exactly how I felt. It explores what motivations of a super-intelligence might be in a way that I hadn't seen before.

I understand the commenter's sentiment though--it's difficult to read an earnest story about a super intelligent trans-human because the archetype of "cool and collected super genius" has been done to death and has become cringeworthy.
I’m not sure about the vitality of GPL here.

Assuming the generated code does not exist and is not part of the training set (these are two giant caveats), how would this be different from me reading GPL code to learn how to do something, and then rewriting it in my own words?

If I have not copied, but learned from GPL code, is my new code GPL? No, it’s not a derived work in terms of copyright. Am I standing on the shoulders of giants? Yes. But so long as that concept is expressed in a novel way (not just changing variable names), then it isn’t a derivative work.

I haven’t worked with copilot at all to know how verbatim the results are, but it is theoretically possible to train a model with GPL code and not get GPL code generated out the other side. (Again, here be dragons).
Well, I was playing devil's advocate to some extent there, I am 'guilty' of lots of seemingly random interests too (in several cases with certifications that took years to acquire), and even multiple academic degrees in 'hard' subjects. It's just that I don't necessarily put all of it on my CV (the hobbies, the degrees I feel I have to list, even though less would probably be more there too), especially if it's been a while since I last practiced them.

The scuba example was on purpose, because if you list credentials for things that you aren't actually proficient in, it shows something else about your attitude towards being honest about your skills (which can be crucial in technical roles). At one of my old employers, my later boss warned me that the last interview round with a very senior guy was mostly a formality, as long as I'd been honest on my CV. He liked to grill people a bit about their inner workings and their journey, and he'd famously once rejected the team's top choice because the guy had claimed to be fluent in a particular (natural) language on his CV, and then turned out to be anything but (that language was of course in no way needed for the job). In situations like that you feel vindicated if you've had a think about whether old credentials that you acquired a long time ago realistically still belong on your CV. Skills that you don't practice can be lost, regardless of what some paper says.

But if you are serious about them, then by all means put your hobbies on your CV. It can lead to great conversations sometimes, and it's also a form of honesty. And yeah, sometimes people will read things into it that are beyond your control (if you're a pilot, those will mostly be positive, if you do MMA, they may be more mixed, but I'd argue you should mention it regardless).
There’s a choice between:

(a) Company that wants to make as much money as possible from the use of their app. They will use tracker SDKs, sell data directly, sell data through aggregators, etc. And they’ll cooperate with subpoenas (but probably try to charge for it). And they might even cooperate with Texans who want to sue people under their bizarre law.

(b) Apple, which makes money off hardware, iCloud services, and to a limited extent, advertising. They will cooperate with subpoenas, but they also have the legal resources to fight them. And, for something like their customers’ health data, they quite likely will fight.

With choice (a), law enforcement and anyone else who wants to pay gets the data. With choice (b), law enforcement might get the data. I know what I would choose.

Obviously I would prefer (c), the hypothetical version of Apple with stronger iCloud backup encryption.
I wasn't aware that Amazon was developing something similar, how does it compare in terms of usefulness?

I think it's happening, just more slowly than predicted. Mostly jobs in manufacturing have been lost: about a quarter of a million since 2000. A couple orders of magnitude more jobs are expected to be lost, but the future is obviously uncertain.

When reading statistics like this, though, it's important to ask two things:

1. If the report lists how many jobs were lost due to automation, does it also talk about how many were created due to automation? If 20k are lost one year, and 19k are created, the article may not mention the latter, though it is relevant. In one sense, only the delta is important.

2. But, in another sense, the delta isn't what we care about. New jobs created by automation is misleading too. Because, are the jobs created by automation better than the ones that were lost? Is it the same people who lost their manufacturing jobs who got the new jobs? Are those people happy about the trade?

My point is that it's a complicated situation that has been (and likely will be) commonly oversimplified.
