The NFT era is a case study on the problems of trustlessness.

If the entire system is designed to be trustless and a snake oil salesman comes in and builds a secondary retail system on top of the system full of empty promises and garbage art and whole thing blows up, everyone loses. Not just the folks that bought the snake oil.

To be a crypto purist is in this era means accepting that most of the retail systems built on top of the core protocols is garbage at best and straight up fraudulent at worst because it's about as free a market as it gets. You still have to trust that everyone using the system isn't trying to pump and dump, which isn't possible to do.
Presumably this depth of understanding should be deeper than the students. And probably a little deeper than the material taught. That way the teacher can inform and maybe inspire students to study further.

How much depth is required to have a deeper understanding of anything than a 7th grader? How about 2nd grade?
I’m fully on board with “N95s work” but I still think this information is near useless from a public health point of view. They need to be fitted properly, which among other things, means being clean shaven. If you thought mask mandates were political trouble, just wait for the shaving mandate.
There's contractors for that, but it goes through something like Toptal.
Catholic schools in particular tend not to be nearly that strict.

Nobody would mistake Georgetown, BC, Villanova, Fordham, or Notre Dame for somewhere like Liberty University. Indeed, the campuses would be ghost towns if some of those rules were strictly enforced.
For reference that’s 85k on the low end (Amazon) and 663k per year on the high end (Netflix).

It’s an interesting thought experiment to wonder what it be like if the workers at Netflix actually took home that kind of money.
Also highly recommend "A Short Stay in Hell," a novelette based on the same Library concept. Helps wrap your head around what it means to be in such a place.
I had to think of my grand dad. As a (german) child he fled from war in his early childhood. Back in the days there was no psychological help for people like him. Going to a psychiatrist had the reputation of going to the madhouse and back in the 40's to 70's you really would not want to end up there.
He and his whole generation never talked about what happened in war. There were some exceptions in literature but the tenor in the general public was to 'get on' and leave it all behind. Now his past is coming back at him and he tries to open up about it.

What I'm trying to say is: he never grew up with an accepting society or internet forums to easily find like minded people in anonymity. Publishing on a widely accepted and discussed topic seems more obvious than publishing on topics that are considered taboo. After WW2, germans discussed and published about the guilt of their parents. There was little room for compassion for those who "started war", but there was no room at all for those who suffered from it.
Yeah, I agree it is very unlikely to affect someone’s laptop.

However I dislike a black and white “This will not” absolute fact statement: even if based on reasonable assumptions which is what appears to be the case versus detailed knowledge.

Most laptops don’t run their SSDs 24/7, and unless a manufacturer’s error affects a lot of consumers, we often don’t find out the cause of consumer equipment errors in my experience.

If the OP has a laptop older than 2020, with an SSD with a crucial chipset (especially if SATA), and they leave it on most of the time, then maybe check SMART hours.
That’s quite the coordination problem and it doesn’t seem like you can solve that by being an advanced civilization.

What do you think an optimal solution would be?

1. Service level agreement for n years explicitly stated at release?

2. Release a binary containing the bare necessites of the title's backend services (stripped of any analytics or proprietary stuff)?

3. Something else?

Whats frustrating is that studios and publishers (should) have an idea of what the lifetime cost for each player is, so they can price the game appropriately. I wish it were industry best practice for large studios to be transparent at release and state "we can support this game for a minimum of 10 years, if it's a hit, longer".

The reason that was the only way cabs were available because those were the only communication technologies available.

Nah, it was would because taxi company owners are lazy morons. Well, to put a better face on it, a given one-city taxi company would have at a most a few hundred drivers and maybe ten actually back-office/real-employees. That level of small business isn't going to create a web interface to their operations in the early 2000s. Sure, third parties were offering some high priced web-based hailing service but of course that kind of thing would have to be higher priced than the already high-priced (and crappy) "interface" that calling the dispatcher for a ride involved. Why didn't taxis create their own phone/internet hailing service? The same reason Al Gore's "information superhighway" was dead in the water. That is, the average abusive monopolist - like a local taxi company - could only look at the Internet and say "sounds all-right but I'm not lowering my price for that, I'm raising them web-design costs money".
I also used tiktok for about a month but quit it. That's not to say it's not addictive though, my mom spends a significant amount of her free time on the app (but she still uses fb and ig, if anything tiktok just supplanted some of her time spent on ig). I suppose my point about it is that it's not absurdly unique compared to reddit, YouTube, or twitch which are similarly bottomless content holes.

TT isn't unique in parasocial relationships though. Most of the discourse around those relationships actually center around yt and twitch for a reason (and to a lesser extent twitter and onlyfans). If anything tiktok is better than streaming platforms because there's less of that illusion of familiarity; you only see the content creator for minutes at a time before another's there to replace them (twitch you see them for hours at a time and often people only identify strongly with a few streamers).

I'd also argue against the utility argument. Tiktok has allowed for both information and misinformation to spread on its platforms, but that's a non unique argument. Small business accounts on tiktok have also flourished, a commonly repeated piece of advice currently is for small business owners to create accounts and just record their daily routines. Businesses like specialty stationers have exploded in recognition due to this.

The much stronger case against tiktok over other social media's is your communication point. There's little opportunity there for people to actually, you know, socialize with each other. It's content and only content, and even YouTube comments have more meaningful opportunities for educated discussion. It's more similar to twitch chat in that regard but even on twitch content creators regularly engage in discourse publicly. Tiktok enables this through its reply system, but because of its content delivery system you might never see that.
Is there a reason it is better to attribute to incompetence? Or are you just mindlessly parroting shit
I think that as a measure of skill vs. a computer that statistic doesn't tell you all that much. Note that even in that measure Magnus only picks the top move ~85% of the time, and that includes many moves where the top move is "obvious" which will inflate the average a bit. And it needs to be kept in mind that Magnus cannot win against a modern computer, so clearly that 85% only means so much, computer play is still on a whole different level from human play.

Beyond that, time is a very important factor, running out the clock is one of the most effective ways to win against cheating opponents. Magnus only finds the top move ~85% of the time and takes probably 10x to 100x the time to do it. And like the other commenter noted, variance in the move time is an extremely obvious tell. Magnus will blitz out certain moves (even in classical chess) and then think for ~40 minutes in other complicated positions. A computer can do both positions in basically the same amount of time, and cheating players typically don't know when they "should" be thinking vs. playing fast.
they were designed to be disposable, but when they were in short supply at the start of the pandemic, medical professionals were wearing them up to a month. There was a study that you could treat them with, I think, UV light, oh no wait, it was put them in the oven at a certain temperature, to extend their viability up to a certain point, but I think practically, most people switch off every week or so unless in extremely high risk situations.
If you need to actually make meaningful commitments, you need to track how long stories/projects/whatever actually take, and use the data to make a prediction. Subjective “estimates” can be an input, but they’re basically guesses.
Derp you are correct, sorry. Hopefully my comment is still useful for anyone who didn't know they needed smartmontools

No one's talking about stopping people's right to record. And if standing 8 feet makes a difference then we've got other problems.

I'm talking about reasonable restrictions to stop people from getting up in the police's face in everyday situations that dominate the daily work of policing, so that bystanders with less than honorable intentions don't provoke and escalate a situation.

By whatever principle you're operating under, you would assert that police have no right to put up police tape and cordon off a crime scene either?
I really like that piece.
Some people argue that teachers should learn to shoot better. Just sayin'.
You're seriously comparing driving for Uber to working in a coal mine, selling your organs, and selling yourself into slavery or prostitution?

When I was in college I drove pizzas and Chinese delivery for $2 an hour plus tips. It was fine, and I was happy for the work, which was the best I could find part-time. I'd have been much happier if I could have driven for Uber, and I'd have missed rent payments far less often. Miss me with the "this should be illegal" stuff, it's a completely different thing than any of the other stuff you mentioned.
What is considered an actual mask here? N95, surgical, or something else?
> Our findings contribute to a growing body of literature which suggests school-based mask mandates have limited to no impact on the case rates of COVID-19 among K-12 students.

As expected.

Simply put, as the science now states, the majority of masks weren't worth wearing. If it's not a KN95 or better, it's all but pointless. That is, you're effectively wearing no mask at all.

We know this. Yet occasionally mask mandates kick in again, and the updated science (i.e., KN95 or better) is completely ignored.

The disconnect - and those virtue signaling with subpar masks - is disturbing.
There are actually way more, since the context associated with those states is virtually limitless.

For example, let's say my wedding is serving salmon or steak, I decide to allocate a single bit to storing those. Now let's say Caesar's thumb gets tired from deciding who lives or dies, so he decides to use a single bit to light up his verdict.

We've now thought of 2*(2^2) "things you can do" with 2 bits.

Also, just from the title: why 2 ^ 1024 and not 2 ^ 8000?
Yes, I think XCOM difficulty is a great comparison for setting expectations.
Good point, if those who will dig it out are anything like us, it will only instigate even more curiosity.

To add, there are so many kids that go to college just because it’s suppose to be the next chapter of life.

Allowing people to learn trades while still having “the college experience” I think would fix this.
> It’s not memory I’m relying on, but evidence.

I'm pretty sure you are relying on memory because how do you know this "evidence" other than by experiencing it as memories ?

What is certain is that this "evidence" is only known to you within conscious experience (either memories, thoughts, or maybe some other kind of experience I haven't thought of) so using it to infer something about the nature of conscious experience itself is a questionable exercise.
> push towards behaving like a metronome!

Typing on a older Teletype machine is like that. The keyboard is mechanical - really mechanical, not just clicky. When you press a key, it locks down, and all other keys are locked until the previous keypress has been processed, which takes about 200ms. So you learn to type at a constant speed.
> I don’t know why anyone would be afraid to say this.

It's a side project, you're not supposed to have a deadline.

Though sometimes a deadline makes "completion" more of a certainty, if you want to complete a side project you may need to push the milestones to a conclusion in some unfamiliar way other than the well-known corporate deadline.

And completion may look very much different, you may end up with less of an MVP and more of an incredibly useful product.

So you work on it anyway, even without a clear goal all the time, you want to make progress regardless dont you?

Something good will come up in ways that will not happen if you halt.

> We (europeans and americans) cant do really anything in China, we have essentially no rights and cant really conduct business.

Sure you can. You just have to conduct your business in China under the same rules that Chinese businesses in China have to follow.

Most countries or pseudo-countries work this way. For example the EU is about to tell US companies conducting business in Europe that they have to use USB-C for device charging ports and impose a bunch of limits on what exclusive feature hardware makers can include on their devices.

But those same rules apply to European businesses operating in the EU and to Chinese companies operating in the EU and to anyone else operating there, so it is fine.

This is one of the reasons international businesses often set things up so that they have separate companies in different countries. You set up BigCorp USA, BigCorp China, and BigCorp Germany as separate companies incorporated in those jurisdictions, with the latter two handling all your Chinese and EU customers respectively.

Same happens with non-tech businesses. If you wanted to open a chain of international bookstores, you'd face all kinds of restrictions on what books you can sell in various countries. A lot of books that would be fine in your San Francisco store might get you in serious trouble if you carried them in Saudi Arabia. But they would also get a Saudi owned bookstore in trouble too, so you aren't being treated differently.

People want to fit their observations into their belief systems. Whether something is really true is always going to be debated endlessly in this polarised world.
This institution doesn't appear to be affiliated with any US diocese or Catholic order, and the founder and several of the "teaching fellows" are fairly political; you can read a bunch of their stuff on https://newpolity.com/. This is a somewhat weird species of "Catholic" philosophy that departs in a bunch of ways from Catholicism as practiced at parishes around, say, Chicago.

I'd be a little wary.
Most us just want the ability to invest in startups but can't because they're not rich enough to be deemed an "accredited investor" or are of the wrong nationality.

This is wrong. The method of travel is irrelevant.

Visit here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive#Causality_vio... and, after that, read further down to the section: "Alcubierre briefly discusses some of these issues in a series of lecture slides posted online,[44] where he writes: 'beware: in relativity, any method to travel faster than light can in principle be used to travel back in time (a time machine)'."

Draw your light cones. Finish the diagram. Any FTL gives CTC, so long as your propulsion method allows for you to steer, or stop and build one that goes in any other direction.
The big one in that list is citrus, which IIRC hails from Guangdong. The Berbers brought citrus to Europe via trading from Persia. The Persians acquired it from China, probably via South Asian seafaring or the Silk Road.
Yeah but do we have any estimates of how much of that 2^1024 things is actually useful / interesting? It feels the number of meaningful programs (not sure how that can be quantified, and even if it is quantified, not sure it can be evaluated given incomputability / incompleteness issues) scales as a polynomial rather than exponential of code size.

So good, also for some good resources on how to train these networks:

* checkout mosaic ml, it has some recent improvements like Alibi that are important https://docs.mosaicml.com/en/v0.3.1/method_cards/alibi.html

* Huggingface trainer

* Pytorch lightning (still has some great training improvements like LR find and saving top k best checkpoints ect)

* Deepspeed/megatron/bloom

For inference:

try a few alternatives to OpenAI like https://text-generator.io/

or hosting your own network/huggingface pipelines (can use a feature extractor pipeline and a text generation pipeline to support getting embeddings and generating from the same one model on the GPU)
I have been on TikTok since release and have never seen any tiktoks of the categories you mention. Can't even find them with a hashtag search.
> Others believe their religion means something.

I think you may be confusing finding one's religion to be meaningful with some kind of need to broadcast it. I feel every instant of my life to be infused by my faith, yet because it is personal and does require me to testify outwardly about it, it doesn't usually make me want to discuss it with others. You don't get to judge whether it means something to me or not...
Egypt was run as a french language, but british protectorate. It did not achieve full independence until after the suez crisis of 1956. It has a sizable coptic minority. (French because the egyptian rulers considered french modernising and much as Ataturk adopted western dress and alphabet, the Egyptians favoured french language to "modernise" their state)

Technically, Egypt was a secular state until 1980 when Islam became the official state religion.

Saudi Arabia was part of the Turkish Empire, until after WW1. The modern Saudi State, and islamic rules on Archeology did not apply across much of the earler 20th century, or was simply disregarded by western archeologists. Iraq, Iran, Syria and Jordan and Lebanon have extensive archeological sites which clearly pre-date the rise of Islam.
The basic reason is that the Pacific ocean is so big that it almost covers a full hemisphere.
1988 was definitely the pinnacle of the C64 in Britain as the games developers there had stretched the HW to the absolute limits then. I don’t think USA C64 owners had as rich an experience with those machines as we did in Britain. From 1989 onwards was the rise of the Amiga but the C64 still kept Commodore afloat until 1993.
Ostensibly. 'Owe' is more than accounting parlance.
