std::vector can take an allocator as a template parameter though? For a list, sure I can see that having a separate allocator per element could work, but for a vector, surely you'd want the same allocator for the entire range?

GPT-3 and DALL-E (by my subjective opinion) feel much better than other models that their respective tasks.

DALL-E in particular kind of blows the VQGAN+CLIP messing around I've done out of the water. GPT-3 feels markedly better than other text generation or chatbots I've tried.

Definitely these are well marketed, and not the only models aorund, but they also feel ahead of other things I've tried. Can you point out some of these other tools/models?

Most people just want people to live happy lives without oppression. We all see it coming and fear we will have it land on us as well. So pointing out countries that are leaders in oppression is a nervous habit people tend to do.
What percentage of the population do you think lives like you do?

Personal experiences is anecdotal. There's hard stat's that say that a majority of this country does not live like you do.
>Wow, okay, and they claimed it's not an obscure reference, but you have to have played a certain level in a certain game AND been on a certain forum to know what it means?

You just had to have played that game, and the game isn't obscure. Call of Duty is one of the largest franchises on earth and I would consider it akin to something like a Marvel movie in popularity. If someone referenced a meme from a marvel movie, I wouldn't describe it as obscure.
I've read "quite a few books" in my lifetime. I am not interested in having a conversation about any of them. Well... maybe one or two. Love Tolkien but boy did he need an editor. For the most part, many of the books I read are instantly forgettable. Those that aren't, I remember fragments, some bright, salient details surrounded by a fog of dullness.

I watched John Carter the movie with my wife a while back, I know I read the books and shorts many years ago, I couldn't tell you anything about them other than "civil war era soldier" (I think), goes to Mars, does some stuff, saves the day, gets the girl (sort of). All I could think, after having read the Princess of Mars story was about were the plot holes for a few days post-reading. Ripping yarns. And then, after years, utterly forgotten. There was a few parts in the movie where I thought "Oh, I remember that from the book" and other scenes I thought "was that in the book." I have no desire to go find out. For all I know I could be confounding the John Carter stories with Danny Dunn.

I keep a spreadsheet of all the books I've read or started to read. Date started, date completed. There's more started dates than completed dates. Any initial thoughts. Sometimes some updated thoughts a little while later. Whenever one of the books comes up in conversation, I get this uneasy, vague recollection that I might have read that. I usually have to check my list. People want to show off how clever they are by quoting bits of it, or dissecting the story - either they read and re-read books for a living, or they don't read very many books, I can't decide which it is.

If someone were to question my knowledge on a book I claim to have read, I'd look incredibly suspicious. I've found, of the people who have tried this gambit, that it is usually someone trying to engage in a pissing contest and I'm not interested in engaging in that. It also makes tops of your shoes dirty.

P.S. Essayist is a) gatekeeping b) showing off his "I read books" Scout badge c) needs a damn editor.
Agree. People on both sides seem to misunderstand the issue. Informed GM opponents will talk about the systemic problems caused by introduction of GM crops in to our ecosystems, farming practices, and economies, and GM proponents will misunderstand those complaints and say "no you don't understand, they're still healthy". It's like people are talking past each other. Sure, some GM opponents are afraid of how the foods affect them, and perhaps misinformed, but that does not mean that all arguments against GM foods are invalid!

Conveniently, he cannot stand trial in France, which has also called for his arrest based on their own investigations, because he chose to become an international fugitive in Lebanon [1].

That said, I believe there has been prosecutorial interest around Anthony Ghosn--Carlos's son living in, to my last recollection, California--due to payments he made to the Taylors [2]. (The daughter, Maya, who is profiled in the article helping him escape is also in California, though there is no interest in charging her to my knowledge.)

I played it and it was fun.

Wordle (and some other games) do a mandatory pop-up of the instructions just to make sure first-timers understand the rules. This game didn't -- I see now that there's a small question mark at the upper left -- but "clear everything", and then seeing that things disappeared when I clicked on them, was kind of enough. If I really thought about it, I might even say that was part of the fun for me -- figuring out the rules of the system and considering what strategy to use.

I wonder if that could be part of the game -- like on some days, "gravity flows to the right", like the view of the puzzle has been tilted by 90 degrees. (And some days it's up?) Or maybe you can rotate the puzzle by 90 degrees -- so you can transform the right or left side column into the crucial bottom row. Maybe a mystery square, that doesn't have a color or is all colors or switches colors with each click?

Anyways, this game was fun, and had a nice-looking interface. Glad you had fun building it. (Someone once asked me how to monetize a side project, and I said "add it to your portfolio and use it to land a high-paying job.")
I saw one of the analysts of the Depp vs Heard trial explain why perjury is hard.

It requires you to prove deliberate intent. The bar is a lot higher to prevent punishing mistakes.
Is this what modern idiomatic TS looks like?

Reading through the pipe implementation, as someone who primary works in the relatively "boring" world of backend languages, this looks like the kind of code that would get shot down review for being too clever and not very readable, regardless of how "elegant" it may be.

Using triple assignments (a = b = somevalue)? Using λ as a type name instead of writing out lambda with symbols that are actually easy to type? Overloading/reusing variables that makes it hard to mentally trace how data flows through?
The interesting finding isn't that they're dogmatic about their anti-conensus views.

It's that they are willing to bet more that they'll perform well on tests of objective scientific knowledge of related fields... and then don't.
I'd also love to see a list of the most common books people claim to have read, but have not.

There's some obvious stuff:

- Knuth :)
IMDb is crowdsourced and accepts user data submissions. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-info...

External users are not part of it. It's a "curated" model. IMDb clearly stakes their reputation on accuracy and comprehensive coverage.

I see the author's point yet there are echos of the old argument of 'this generation doesn't do X'. Typically those arguments almost always end up being false.

Ultimately, we need to have a little more faith in the younger generation, just like our boomer parents could have done with us. I bet there were articles in the 50s & 60s freaking out about how books are going to go extinct cause young people only want to watch TV. And that did happen to a certain extent (readership fell), but a percentage of the population kept reading good old fashioned books, and that will be true going forward as well.
After one year of sending tickets back and forth I just asked my credit card issuer to charge back all purchases ever made. Going to court or similar was not an option as a poor student :/
There is a question of agency here.

You are absolutely correct that reporting of errors may not be "honest", I prefer to use the work "correct" rather than honest because honesty implies and intention to lie and the computer logic is generally designed to be correct.

The market reality is that reporting correctable errors can generate unnecessary service tickets as people who are not technically sophisticated. Those users may generate a support ticket wondering why their system is telling them it saw and error but then it corrected it. Dealing with support tickets costs money, money that is taken away from margin, and so it is sometimes "optimized out" which is that some manager makes their numbers better by ordering the software team to "hide" correctable errors which were corrected.

It is absolutely fair to describe that management choice as "dishonest."

It can be difficult sometimes to find out where the dishonesty was applied however. It has been my experience that between the BIOS and the kernel, if the chipset supports ECC and the BIOS recognizes that you have ECC memory installed, there is a means for extracting all ECC events reliably. It isn't always well documented and sometimes requires several levels of escalation in support to get the information you need, but when ECC is important to you it can be worth it. It can also inform your choices for vendors to use in the future. :-)
As a student/young professional, I pirated my way to success.

Fun fact: I actually pre-ordered this book, as it's a known classic. But I only can do that today thanks to piracy.
Google has similar models and could compete with OpenAI with both a GPT-3 and DALL-E equivalent if they wanted to.

tbh I'm surprised they don't.

Malcolm Gladwell slams working from home: ‘What have you reduced your life to?’
The comic was transformative and iconoclastic. It made you think but also forged new ground in graphic storytelling (and let's not forget that the artists that worked on it were at least as important if not more so than Gaiman).

There is none of that in this adaptation. It plays it safe on every possible level. One can easily imagine the corporate bean counters slapping Gaiman on the back, a firm nod of approval.
In GC languages a common approach is to have "finalizers" to make something like this a possible and sometimes convenient way of dealing with a foreign API, I wonder if what you saw was something similar? The idea is to allocate the foreign memory, then make a finalizer which is just a hook that will (eventually) call the foreign free only when some object (like a wrapper for the foreign memory) is collected. Something similar could be hidden behind some preprocessor macros, with guarantees only until the next OUR_MALLOC...

The problems for the GC languages tend to be fewer but if the wrapper is out of scope but someone grabbed and maintains a hold on the foreign memory directly, they're playing with fire as for when the GC will execute the finalizer hook and make that memory invalid. It's also a frustrating technique when foreign APIs -- particularly in certain graphics contexts -- require allocation threads to be the same as freeing threads, and of course depending on the implementation of free and the GC it might be an expensive operation to have a bunch of them suddenly happen at once when all you were expecting was a new native object and not a bunch of GC work behind the scenes.
Quite possibly; Ukraine was a major scientific and engineering hub in USSR. Many of the things we recognise USSR for came from Ukraine, from Mriya to much of the space program.

Also, Ukraine is where the civilised part of the Russian civilisation originates - Kyiv is much older than Moscow. I found Kamil Galeev a great resource on all things Russia, see eg https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1553786725025079297 for a random thread.
You mischaracterize the study. The interesting finding is not that people who hold anti-consensus beliefs have lower scores on objective tests about related fields. It's that they are willing to bet more on their performance on those objective tests despite ultimately scoring worse.

That is, there's a much larger difference between their subjective assessment performance and objective performance on the test metric (of both that field and other fields) than in people who don't hold the anti-consensus belief.

The late Douglas Engelbart [1] had a vision, one in which humans and their tools (IT) co-evolve (which really isn't happening the way it should) in order to improve overall capabilities in facing ever more complex and urgent problems.
There are many projects ongoing today which exist in the space created by that vision, but they are all fighting for scarce resources, so they tend to compete rather than collaborate.
Some of those projects are mounted by wealthy high-tech entities, many of which do not understand that their own business models are a part of the emerging and urgent problem space.

In my view, there is a profound need to reshape the overall landscape. In doing so, there is an enormous need to find ways to tame human conversation, get people talking - and listening - again.

I would be (I am) as deeply engaged in being a member of the possibly enormous entity which takes on taming conversation. There is no way to "reduce" the world's grand issues down to one solution; still, you need to start somewhere. Finding ways to change the narrative seems critical - at least, to me.

I did not wait for money being no object - that's a grand fantasy - but a few friends and I chose to enter the Engelbartian space by melding game mechanics, guild social dynamics, and epic quests with human conversations about matters that matter. Our work is open source. Any business models which grow up in that space cannot be more of what we have today; exploring financially sustainable business models without exploiting human dignity and privacy remains a crucial aspect of our work.

Hmm, I didn't think it was actually possible to write a general and generic type for a function like pipe/compose. It's something that many statically typed languages struggle with unless they bring in the 500lb gorilla that is a full dependent type system.
Another part to this, listening to the experts in a particular field tends to disregard competing priorities from other fields.

We saw this all through the pandemic, but it's common in everyday life too.

For me in this context "presented as objective" means using the authorial voice of an expert. I agree it's a bad fit for me here, because it sweeps a lot under the rug.

In contrast, I'd be interested in reading something on the same topic that was presented in a subjective way, where the author isn't hiding their personal relationship to the topic. For example, "I was terminally online and here's why and how I changed". Or "my friend was terminally online and I like that they stopped". Or even "here's why I am frustrated dealing with terminally online people".

But for me, the pseudo-expert advice from somebody with no obvious expertise and no claim of it leaves me cold. I don't understand why I should care what they think, or why I should trust them.
What document are you talking about here? In the "full report" [1] table 5 is "Rate of victimization reported and not reported to police, by type of crime, 2019–2020", and has nothing about race.

My mother used to read a lot of books when I was young so I picked it up as a hobby. I have to say that after the internet came into my life, reading books has become much harder. The effort is much bigger because my brain was wired to faster reward cycles.

I continue pushing thought but I have to admit it's still hard. Especially because books that worth it are hard. They are not something you mindlessly consume like a movie or (in a lesser degree) a theater play. I don't know how people manage to read hard books when they also work on something even somewhat challenging on a day to day basis.

So yes, faking you read a book is stupid and easily recognizable to someone who actually did, but on the other hand, any way to shorten the effort needed to read books is welcomed. Especially when they are so many produced now with SEO-like content that just waste your time.
Oh, wonderful. I was (perhaps fittingly, given the topic) skimming, and didn't notice this for the excellent pun that it is - I'm glad you pointed it out.
It seems public healthcare is not feasible in the United States while the majority of Americans are overweight and a third are obese. It causes too many expensive health problems that are preventable by maintaining a healthy weight. Perhaps the government should simply pay people to keep their BMI under 25.
This kind of research just looks like political maneuvering to attack dissenters. Part of me thinks that researchers should instead work on figuring out how to better convince and educate people. But maybe a lot of really smart people have already investigated that problem and figured out that writing research papers which undermine their opponents is the most effective tactic.

The core problem is that most of the division is rarely about any object-level beliefs, it's almost entirely about tribal politics and power. What a boring game.
These look nice! I have also been making my own headphones. I recently posted a twitter thread with build instructions if anyone wants to make them. [1]

Notable difference is that mine are simpler to build, though less integrated. I use an off the shelf bluetooth to 3.5mm adapter rather than one of those integrated boards (I did recently buy an integrated board to test out). The off the shelf bluetooth adapter just plugs in to the short 3.5mm cable I build in to the headphones, which has the advantage that you can make them wired headphones with a simple extension, which sometimes has its use. Anyway take a look!
