Also they didn't stock gory horror, 99.9% of foreign films, classics, or porn. If Blockbusters shut down your local video store, you just weren't going to be able to watch a wide variety of movies anymore (until Netflix's DVDs by mail came along.)

Say No – Why it will set you free
For liberal arts? It's probably a pretty interactive format and smaller interactive classes are better than large classes that are more broadcast. (Often. I've also had great lecturers in the humanities.) But mostly don't look at many liberal arts classes (or case study, etc.) through the lens of an engineering lecture.

I think the one true path to a working AGI is to mimic biology and parenting. It wouldn't take any earth shattering breakthroughs, just lots of time and patience.

Start with foveated vision, that can't focus well, and tune the AI to minimize surprise, as time goes on, the neural network would begin to figure out how to focus and control eye motion, then eventually head orientation, limbs, etc..

Eventually, you'd end up with an intelligence that inhabits a body, which you could then copy and put in more restrictive environments, but it might be torture?!?!

Really? Perhaps EU should spend some money to defend its own backyard instead of relying on the US for the past 100 years. Just a thought.
Fewer students per teacher is widely seen as a positive thing. A greater percentage of the professor's time and attention can be given to any one student. I've definitely experienced this myself, it's easy to feel like just a number when you're in a large lecture hall of hundreds versus a small classroom of a few dozen.

Do you agree with the following?

As hardware gets more powerful, the easier it is to break older encryption standards. In other words, the algorithms and their key strength recommendations are related to the computational power available at a given time.
> In one way, it reads, “if you break the law enough, we’ll disable your account. Naughty naughty!” But then when you look at how the system works, almost anyone can just claim they own a copyright with absolutely no proof which has massive implications to your account

There's a lot more at stake than a youtube account. This is true for your ISP as well. Anyone can send DMCA notices to your ISP saying that you've violated copyright with zero evidence. If you are accused multiple times the media industry insists that your ISP must permanently cancel your account and never allow you to have service again. So far, the courts agree with them. ISPs who don't do this are subject to billions in fines.

There are around a dozen lawsuits in the works right now against ISPs who the media industry claims have failed to permanently cancel the accounts of "repeat offenders".

It's insane that we've given anyone the ability to cut someone off from the internet (many people have very few options for ISPs) over unproven accusations alone. You don't get to go in front of a judge and defend yourself. They don't have to prove anything to anyone. They said you did it, so therefore you are guilty and can be cut off from the internet. Never mind that the same companies sending out DMCA notices have a long history of sending false and inaccurate DMCA notices (sometimes out of laziness, sometimes out of incompetence, sometimes to silence criticism and hurt would be competitors).

Naturally ISPs aren't happy about this and right now, they are mostly watching to see how all this plays out in the courts, but again so far the courts are going along with it. Expect to see ISPs increasingly crack down on this to avoid being liable for billions in penalties.
SMTP is literally built with this scenario in mind. As long as their servers aren't incorrectly reporting a success the sender will (or at least should) retry.
Here's an article, saying all of Shanghai shut down schools in March.[0]

Also "2K" is mess of a term people shouldn't use. By better definitions it should mean either almost-1080p or a loose term for 1080p. 1440p is often called 2K but it really isn't. 2560x1440 is 2.5K if anything.

> The primary (?) advantage of methane over kerosene is that it doesn't deposit soot on engine parts

Some people would disagree. AFAIK, by professionals methane was always considered first for better Isp, even though Clark dismisses the advantage.

Here's another example of disagreement, regarding virtues of hydrogen peroxide - https://yarchive.net/space/rocket/fuels/peroxide.html -

"It's only bad habit is that it decomposes exothermically -- and since
the rate of decomposition is accelerated with temperature, this reaction
can run away from you. But that hardly deserves the bad press it's gotten.
LOX will also bite you, quite readily, if you're careless. "Wings" simply
got it wrong. (Even _Ignition!_, while pretty sour on hydrogen peroxide due
to the decomposition hazard, has the facts right, and only the emphasis is
arguable -- I don't understand how someone can cozy up to ClF5 while
considering peroxide dangerous; but that was Clark's position! )"

> I find protein and fat way more satiating than, well, anything else. For example, eat 2 eggs for breakfast and I guarantee you won't even think a out food again until lunch time, if not dinner time.

That's not what satiety means (at least in this context), right?

I'm reading OP's definition as "you'll eat less [calories] per sitting because you'll feel satiated more quickly", rather than your "your feeling of non-hunger will last longer".

The two seem pretty orthogonal definitions to me.

If UK government really cared about children, and not about surveillance and censorship, they would solve the problem another way.

The only way protect children online is to ban them from Internet. Children should not have access to normal laptops and smartphones, instead they should use "kid phones". Such phones would allow children to communicate only with people approved by parents or teachers and visit only approved sites. This way they will enjoy perfect safety which this Bill fails to provide.

Every site which wants to become approved, must fulfill all the requirements from the Bill and indicate this with a HTTP header. Kid phones and laptops should allow only to visit such compliant sites.

Kid-oriented phones and laptops must be visually distinctive: for example, have a shape of a cute animal. In this case teachers, parents or police will be able to instantly spot and confiscate illegal devices.

This is a win-win plan: kids would be safe and adults would be safe from government overreach. Obviously no government will agree to such plan.

The complexity of the Marvel universe is making it harder to miss a few films or shows and then come back to it without doing a big catch-up. I feel like they are going all-in on the fans, at the expense of the more casual audience like me.

I’m going to watch the new Thor, but I’m not sure I have the time or energy to invest in catching up on all the stuff I need to watch to get the most from the Spider-Man/Strange/Wanda thread.

However I’m probably in a small enough group that Marvel see that as an ok trade off to make something rich and complex for the fans, which is fine.
Huh, I've personally enjoyed most everything up to Phase 4. The Phase 4 movies (other than Black Widow) have been pretty meh in my opinion. The Phase 4 tv shows have been pretty good, except for the fact that they mostly seem like build up for something else. I really enjoyed Hawkeye and I think Moon Knight is my other fav from this.

This might be the case for me. I work on a relatively small dev team and luckily everyone has adhered to meaningful commit messages without needing any manual intervention.

I could imagine a time where this team is much larger and the commits begin to get out of hand. So perhaps my failure to appreciate squash-only repos is mainly a function of my relatively small team.
Do many/most people really think they should have the ability to repair it? I'm not sure because they keep buying products where it's expressly not possible to repair it yourself or by a competent 3rd party.

I suppose its rights. If it's truly a general intelligence then it's likely capable of making its own decisions and in that case it has agency. We will probably create some kind of social horror out of the situation one way or the other.
YMMV, but I got great returns on investing in a proper chef’s knife, and learning how to use and maintain it properly. There’s a real pleasure in dicing an onion or whatever in seconds. Knowing I can do that helps lower the ‘activation energy’ of cooking versus takeout, as does just generally loosening up about cooking.

My favorite meals are often thrown together in 20 minutes with zero planning, and certainly no recipe. Knowing a few fundamentals (see Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat) gets you a long way.

No, most modern flight sims refuse to implement them because they don't want to be branded a 9/11 simulator when someone would inevitably make a youtube video of them crashing into buildings.

Also the ones that use real planes have licensing from manufacturers to deal with, who don't want their planes portrayed being destroyed (similar to limited damage modelling in modern driving games with licensed cars).

You'll want a combat sim.
Hmm, where from are you browsing? There were messages but it stopped for me some years ago (and has the message the sibling comment says).
I have had to deal with at least one of those things. It still doesn’t change my opinion.

I feel that it is ethically wrong to enslave and torture animals for humanities benefit. If that means that I will die from a disease that would have been prevented otherwise, I can accept that. I don’t feel it is right for me to impose suffering on another sentient being for my own incremental benefit.
Why would it? They weren't in charge for any of it. If we had built the renewables they wanted, we would have less of a problem now.
>Anecdotally, you get better class material and TA staff in larger lectures.

Where is this anecdote coming from? A billion years ago when I studied at a small liberal arts college with small class sizes, professors were keen to share with us exactly why they were teaching from particular texts or why they had selected certain materials to make it clear that while the class wasn't being taught by that famous guy from MIT, it was still his book and materials we were using. I knew all my professors by first name, knew where many of them lived, had access to them anytime it was needed, and that's directly counter to my partner's experience at a large university.
Just a note that this is Northeastern (in Boston) not Northwestern (in Illinois). Northwestern was and is typically a very high ranker.

As for what the improvements are like... hard to say. Some ways to improve the rankings like getting more students you don't want to come to apply (so you can appear more selective) don't actually help at all, while things like small classes even if done to "game" the rankings could actually help.

There's also just the cyclical aspect of things: the quality of your experience is going to be significantly determined by the quality of the student body, so if you have a better applicant pool because of your better rankings you maybe have a bit of a virtuous cycle that's somewhat disconnected from whether the things you changed actually improved anything real on their own other than the ranking.

I see it differently. As a robotics engineer I know the biggest impediment to robotics development is getting computers to understand the real world. The work on multimodal neurons, which see the word cake and know to associate it with images of cake, is a key stepping stone along the way to a fully functional embodied AI that can solve difficult real world problems. CLIP, DALL-E, and all these off shoots are representations of what we can pull from these efforts today. But long term this work will be incorporated in to bigger and more capable AI systems.

Just think: when I ask you “walk in to the workshop, grab a hammer and a box of nails, and meet me on the roof to help me secure some loose shingles” your mind is already imagining the path you will take to get there, what it will look like when you locate and grab the hammer and nails, and you’ve filled in that to get on the roof you have to meet me in the back yard to climb the ladder, which I never mentioned.

All these tiny details your mind can do effortlessly take huge efforts like CLIP to sort out how to make it work. And even CLIP is only text and images. There is a lot more to go from there.

A lot of people focus on DALL-E and the artifacts that come out along the way, but these are not the destination, just little stops showing the progress we are making on a much larger journey.
I think it's the boredom. Try to take some risks and see what happens.

As far as I know, there's nothing like this in the US, and it's something that I've known broke people to do.
Targeting EU data subjects with goods and services is just one of two ways GDPR asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction.

The other is when you are processing personal data of EU data subjects that is related to "the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union".

There's a recital that adds:

> In order to determine whether a processing activity can be considered to monitor the behaviour of data subjects, it should be ascertained whether natural persons are tracked on the internet including potential subsequent use of personal data processing techniques which consist of profiling a natural person, particularly in order to take decisions concerning her or him or for analysing or predicting her or his personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes.

Unlike the recital that explains the goods and services case, which talks about it only applying if you envisage offering goods and services in the Union as opposed to your site merely being accessible from the Union, the monitoring case doesn't seem to have any requirement that you are intending to monitor EU data subjects.

That's pretty broad as written. From what the recital says it even applies if you are gathering data the could be used for profiling even if you are not actually currently profiling.

As noted in the article at gdpr.eu that a parallel commenter cited:

> If your organization uses web tools that allow you to track cookies or the IP addresses of people who visit your website from EU countries, then you fall under the scope of the GDPR. Practically speaking, it’s unclear how strictly this provision will be interpreted or how brazenly it will be enforced. Suppose you run a golf course in Manitoba focused exclusively on your local area, but sometimes people in France stumble across your site. Would you find yourself in the crosshairs of European regulators? It’s not likely. But technically you could be held accountable for tracking these data.
If you started building a nuclear plant ten years ago, it will be finished when the crisis is way over.

Nuclear certainly is crucial in the mix. And used as such: Europe has a lot of nuclear power.

But nuclear is slow. Terribly so. Even an operational plant needs days to react to increasing or decreasing demands. And building such plants from scratch, or extending existing ones, takes decades. Never months.

If I'm not mistaken the news that Columbia "won't participate" in the rankings came a bit sooner[^1], but if anything that struck me as a "you can't fire me, I quit" sort of preempting of what was inevitable.

Honestly though, college rankings are toxic, as is this whole prestige economy we've built around them. I don't even really care about colleges faking numbers, so much as other shady practices like sending students false promises to get their hopes up - pretty much for the express purpose of rejecting them down the line. As any unfortunate student who has either had to apply to college, or been the parent of someone applying, you can't avoid the "chance me" threads or the endless HYPSM dick measuring contest while trying to get legitimate information.

Do you have an example of a list, which meets the mathematical definition, which would not be able satisfy the requirements of a monad? Meaning one could not write a bind or lift operation for that list?
From the article: "The study did not definitively rule out other factors, such as salt consumption being a proxy for a generally less healthy lifestyle,". In the list of things that they corrected for neither education or income were included. Education is correlated with income and probably with reduced salt intake. Income is roughly anti-correlated with stress. So, my guess is that this result wouldn't hold up with a few more pertinent corrections applied.

Shocking stuff like this, weaponising drivers against city governments:

> MacGann insists that Uber drivers were seen by some at the company as pawns who could be used to put pressure on governments. “And if that meant Uber drivers going on strike, Uber drivers doing a demo in the streets, Uber drivers blocking Barcelona, blocking Berlin, blocking Paris, then that was the way to go,” he said. “In a sense, it was considered beneficial to weaponise Uber drivers in this way.”

> The files show MacGann’s fingerprints on this strategy, too. In one email, he praised staffers in Amsterdam who leaked stories to the press about attacks on drivers to “keep the violence narrative” and pressure the Dutch government.

And most comments are quasi-whataboutism on the taxi industry vs Uber. Yes, the taxi industry is bad, in lots of places ran by some kind of mob, etc. Still, Uber was weaponising their workers (while fighting as hard as possible to not call them workers and pay for workers' benefits) against local governments, they were behaving like a tech-mafia.
