In the UK you get on a west coast train in the evening and it's rammed, with people paying 50p per mile.

That service costs money to run. We could increase public spending to run the service, but you won't get more people on the train because it's already full.

Now how are you going to increase that spending? Raise taxes? Cut other public services? Borrow more? Miraculous "efficiencies" no doubt.

We could make it more cost effective, by building a new line instead, which would carry more people per operational cost. HS2 is this (1000 seats doing the journey in 1 hour for 2 members of staff is 500 seats per person hour, vs 500 seats doing it in 2 hours for 3 members of staff which is 83 seats per personhour, thus staffing costs drop 84%). And that's what we're doing.

Sounds like a cover for weaponizing the moon so they can dominate the Earth.
Given our previous fairly mixed results with introducing foreign species into new habitats where they can flourish, this sounds like it'd most likely be pretty bad for the current ecosystems there.
The problem with such lists is the inherent assumption that all ISPs block the same "bad stuff". However, in reality, this is not the case, because each ISP has to implement the blocking on their own, and there are multiple DPI solutions with different sets of false positives. This "provider-specific overblocking" is especially common with IPv6.

So in addition to using such lists with one of the ISPs, I tried to detect signs of non-prevented blockage using iptables (matching on stuff like unusually-high TTL of an RST packet, or a string that occurs in the SSL certificate that they try to use for MITM - yes, they were not even consistent, or maybe there were two layers of DPI), and add the addresses learned this way to an ipset, so that next time they are routed through a VPN.

On the other ISP at a different location, just dropping all packets with ID=0 was for some time enough to avoid the censorship.

Meant for a reply to the adjacent Godel_unicode but the nesting limit (?) precludes that:

No, rude asshole criticism is extremely rude. Well-pitched constructive criticism is a gift, although you'd be right to say that when addressing strangers it's easy to come across as a demanding prick. So if you can provide that feedback for improvement along with sincere praise then criticize away.
Exactly - and it also ends up seeping back into the estimation as a result, 'a junior/recent hire/someone unfamiliar might pick this up, so let's make it [the higher number discussed] to account for that'. If it was actually complexity, it's just as complex whoever works on it. How hard they find it and how long they take might vary, sure, (and that's fine, and sometimes it'd be me taking longer than someone else) but not the work's complexity.

> Online spaces (facebook, twitter, etc), when they reach a certain level, are de-facto public spaces and excluding people from it by big tech is harmful to humanity.

Sure we can treat online spaces like utilities e.g. I dont know what the law is but something like denying water is not legal or you got to have good reason to do so.). And like content, water quality should be maintained to a standard (e.g. moderating scammers, bots, illegal/objectionable content etc.). But the big difference, the govt can set water quality standards but is very reluctant to set content moderation standards (for good reasons). So we end up with a situation, we want content moderation but its not a govt approved standard and so we end up with moderation that not everyone agrees with.

Self review? Manager and peer's review? What's "interesting" in pejorative terms here?
When you’re churning through terrawords of training data and aren’t cross-validating against proportionally-sized hold out sets?

It’s not a certainty that you’re overfitting but the burden is to show otherwise.

Besides, if your corpus is asymptomatically everything, why wouldn’t fitting it perfectly fitting it be the goal?

It would probably be more accurate to say that the bias/variance tradeoff loses meaning as the training set goes to infinity.

Grapevine is that the big actors are going to 5x their flops at any price in the next three years.

What does validation loss even mean at that scale?
I always find it funny when people get up in arms about "verbal abuse" and somehow don't care about the abuse inherent in the situation. Somehow the perpetuation of the abuse is justified by someone having an imperfect response, dear god. But i suppose you view him as an uppity supplicant who offended the king. Therefore he's a jerk and deserves it, according to you? This is not a view of things that actually solves the problem long term. The "jerk" is being far more productive than you, he is far above you.

When this happens to you, you write a 'polite' reply and get ignored all the same you probably won't even notice because you're too busy calling people jerks for getting banned by AI.
If you booked way in advanced to save money and then host cancels on you, then what use is a refund when you have to find alternative accommodation at 2-3x the price you booked?

If the guarantee was alternative accommodation either the same or better as what you previously booked, this would be a much better policy.

Presuming that the AC condensor gets airflow from the car moving through the air, it is going to be more efficient if the car is moving faster. However after a point, the air resistance will be hurting range more than anything.
I'm not hoping in a train and travelling free to Madrid. This applies to ciertain rail pass used mostly by workers.

The thing is that renfe has been closing many medium travel lines outside Madrid and Barcelona in exchange of HSR, so in reality everyone else is subsidizing Madrid and Barcelona...

They're entitled to, but such a policy might help retention. If there was a competitor that had a wrongful banning compensation policy, I would consider using them over Twitter.

Though I feel a bit silly thinking Twitter cares about retention.
I really wish we'd just call them "rotation numbers" or something. "Imaginary" was always a ridiculous name.
No, that is not how condensation works, otherwise you would have automatically more condensation on the wall in a larger room. The amount of condensation on the walls is not dependent on the size of the room or the fact that it condensates on the other walls. It depends on air humidity, air temperature, wall temperature and finally, very important, wall humidity. Water will not keep on accumulating on the wall, it will reach an equilibrium at some point, when the wall itself has become moist. The fact there is condensation or not on the other walls has negligible impact on total air humidity, most of all in larger rooms. And that's the only factor out of the 4 I could imagine being impacted by condensation (or not) on the other walls.

Hence, I still do not understand the logic why isolating only a subset of walls instead of all of them would be a problem.

As I said, I had an energy efficiency specialist at my home which said that isolating 3 walls would be 75% as efficient as isolating 4 and totally recommended. So far, I have not seen any solid logic supporting the fact that isolating only 3 walls instead of 4 would *increase* the risk of mold compared to either, 4-walls all insulated, or, zero walls insulated.

Swiss trains are not bad and they are undoubtedly kept clean, but the punctuality is rather a myth. Especially commuter trains regularly have significant delays.

Swiss trains are not bad, but not necessarily "better" than other railways in Europe and certainly not "best".
Well roughly 0% of gamers use Macs, and there are a lot of gamers. So that's a huge chunk. Also, most of the devs I know are Linux users on PC hardware. Creatives all tend to be Mac (of course) while general business users tend be split more evenly.

So yeah 15% seems right.
Yes, I hope the consensus eventually moves away completely from "imaginary". Complex numbers is already ok, so it doesn't need to change, only the terminology for that i axis.

So what can we contribute, do you know any authors that have already found some new and better terminology and promoted it?
How do you judge what's work and what's not work? For many people, such as the self-employed, their online presence is part of their brand, and Twitter is professional networking.

This applies to both Craig and myself.
For a dissertation you often have diagrams and bibliography this is taking a while. Even my resume takes more than 1s a build because of that.
Well, fertilizers have diminishing returns, you can't keep adding fertilizer to increase the yield as much as you want.

The amount of farmland available globally is limited, so reducing the yields per hectare in one country will probably contribute to food inflation globally.

You could increase the amount of available farmland by deforestation, but that would probably be contrary to the goals of environmental conservatism.

Also, we are assuming a global free market of crops, which is an unrealistic assumption, as there are lots of subsidies and tariffs.
> I wish we had a "C-like" language, which would kind of be a high-level assembler which: has no integer promotion or implicit casts, has compile-time/runtime casts (without the horrible c++ syntax), has sized primitive types (u64/s64,f32/f64,etc) at its core, has sized literals (42b,12w,123dw,2qw,etc), has no typedef/generic/volatile/restrict/etc well that sort of horrible things, has compile-time and runtime "const"s, and I am forgetting a lot.

Unsafe Rust code I think fits this model better than C does: it relies on sized primitive types, it has support for both wrapping and non-wrapping arithmetic rather than C's quite frankly odd rules here, it has no automatic implicit casts, it has no strict aliasing rules.
Perhaps Canada itself will hot experience starvation, but an overall fall in calories (and nutrients) produced will put pressure on world food prices.

.it are around 10 bucks a year. No idea where you would find them at 25 or 40 a year.
Also when you are young you don't have enough experience to decide what you like and don't. So focus would be a premature optimization.
There are a reasons I can think of for making money and charging for tickets:

1. The investment can come from the private sector, it takes the risk instead of burdening the tax payer.

2. Free rail for all burdens all with the cost of rail, it removes freedom of not paying for it.

3. No ticket pricing means no market signals that would show if the operator is running it's business poorly.

4. No adjustable pricing mean that the user has no reason to adjust their usage in terms of avoiding peak times or utilising quieter times.

5. No competition means no alternative, if the monopoly provides a terrible service that fleeces the tax payer, well tough luck for the user.
You can bet we know this in Spain.
Oh sure. I didn’t mean to imply that GPT-6 will have memorized Wikipedia.

As you start to get to the size and comprehensiveness in the corpus that’s going on now, novel model outputs approach being something that might not have been in the training set, but likely will be in the future.
> "Good" is not a description that anyone in Dublin, or anyone in Europe, would use for Dublin's public transport.

Light rail in Dublin is quite good, but coverage isn’t great. I used DART a few times, and it wasn’t a nice experience - long waits and less than ideal trains. I traveled by rail between Dublin and Cork, however, and it was quite good - modern and comfortable, and relatively fast (Ireland is small and fast rail feels like overkill)

People thinking renewables wouldn't be cheaper aren't people who don't want renewables. Why would they even get a mention?.

I'm not convinced enough people know that renewables are cheaper to make the latter claim you're making. For example, in some places as soon as renewables come online they get priority access to demand, and other fuel sources get the leftovers. That's still a subsidy, just by another name. So I don't know if they are cheaper.

Finally, the point about renewables isn't only cost, it's also reliability. The subsidy I just mentioned falsely obviates the need for renewables to be reliable from a cost perspective, but that doesn't mean that needing a high base load (and higher the more we move to electric vehicles) isn't the most important thing to supply.

And none of that is about people "not wanting renewables".

Isn't increasing capacity the point of increasing spending?

Post WWII, the United States has seen massive economic growth. Tuition was not free. It’s tough to connect the two.
No, because that's literally what investing is. You are investing hoping for a return. It's not a loan. You're not loaning money expecting to make back the premium and interest.
Official TFR for 2021 in China was 1.15, and China data is always suspect. They didn’t mitigate economic challenges for common prosperity earlier enough, young people are bailing on family formation (for obvious reasons), and it’s likely that their TFR won’t only fall further into the future but also get “locked in.”

TLDR China is Speedrunning Japan’s demographic and economic transition/decline.

There are definitely positions out there, but they're not always obvious. I picked up an new embedded/backend job at the beginning of the year and they mentioned "Oh, we're doing a lot of new development in Elixir, you cool with that?" towards the end of the interviewing process. Wasn't ever in the job description before I was hired...
And yes, most of the new development has been in Elixir, when it makes sense. :)
Yes, it was rude. And if Twitter wants to ban someone for being rude, that's their prerogative and I support it.

I also support the rude person relating how they were banned for violating a rule they don't think they could possibly have violated, and I can look at it and say "Wow this person was rude but that was yet another instance of Twitter being stupid. I probably wouldn't like this person. I'm also not interested in using Twitter."

Also: while we'll never know for sure, do you really think the appeal would have been successful if he instead wrote "Hello Twitter, could you take another look at this? I posted a 5 second clip from a new video game about a stray cat, and was banned for violating your revenge porn rule. Can you help me understand how the rule applies to this clip? Sincerely, User"? Because I sure don't.
clsid's MPC-HC is truly great software.

If you haven't tried it in the last decade, you don't need to install any extra codec packs of anything.

It is already bundled with a recent ffdshow, and it comes with an exe installer (or portable zip if you want), so it's as easy as VLC to install and configure, and in some cases more performant than mpv (which uses plain ffmpeg libraries)

The equivalent would be OLE, I think. Yes, Word can't trivially use the text output of a Python program, but then LaTeX can't trivially embed a chunk of an Excel document and have it updated automatically. Both systems make assumptions about what they will integrate with.
Curious what your TC was and # of employees. Were they all startups or were there any established companies hiring Elixir/Phoenix ?

The technology is very interesting but I find that it has the same issues as clojure: limited talent pool, questionable cost/productivity gains.

LiveWire is very interesting but its now emulated to a large degree in other more popular languages enough that I could put off learning Phoenix and opt for a more modular solution with popular languages.

This is another issue here. If loads of compilers start doing this then programs start relying on it an then it becomes a de-facto undocumented feature. That means if you move compilers/platforms you get new issues. A lot of what the C standard does is mopping up these kinds of issues.
While it'll obviously vary by country, in general the state "deals with" homelessness by offering free or subsidised housing (preferable) and/or temporary and emergency accommodation. Not sure what's particularly anti-civil-liberties about that.
Yes, but we’re in a thread about ways to improve the language, not about how to make the best with what’s there. This type of argument holds back improvement.

The air tempertature at the evaporator is cold -- maybe 40 degrees or so? The relative humidity is about 100% (as evidenced by liquid water condensing on it). But the house itself never gets that cold, heat moves in from outside by radiation, the air temperature is higher, maybe 70-80 degrees, which results in a lower relative humidity.
The Correct Way™ is actually NixOS/GuiX these days.

> If monkeypox becomes a pandemic that spreads as widely as COVID, will people look back and say the same things about people who engaged in promiscuous sexual behavior? Surely some will be motivated by disapproval of gays. But some will simply be observing how this spread, and what gave it enough of a foothold in the first place.

One difference between the two is that you “were killing grandma” by not wearing a mask around her or exposing yourself to the virus when you might later be around her. With MP, you have to have serious physical skin to skin contact with grandma. If promiscuous sexual behavior is the driving spread, you’d have to be getting promiscuous around grandma, or know you’ll be experiencing deep physical contact with her skin and yours. All pretty unlikely.
