That's the thing.

For me at least, the dynamics of "School Group Project" are basically completely different and separate from "Work team". I happen to do well in both, but I do not enjoy both: the motivations and structure and dynamics and goals and timelines of "School Group Project" are so much more artificial and ultimately pointless, and obviously to all from the start.

Same things with discussions - I happen to be an engaged student, usually front row, hand always up, discussing with instructor and team and colleagues and everybody. I like to be engaged and figure things out together. But I'll never be half the developer than my colleague who barely speaks a word unless asked. He's friendly, meek, polite, and excellent team player and developer - he just does not initiate conversations, especially in group settings. I can imagine he'd have a nice big 0 in that category if that was a grade criteria.

Which is not to criticize the professors who try to use group discussions; just to point out, this is not a solved problem at scale any more than interviewing/hiring. There's too much humanity and too few absolutes :)
If the point of deep learning research is solely GAI, which it is not. Turns out it has a lot of practical uses as well.

They got a million dollar windfall in a market now shifting to where the average buyer is in a position to drop a million plus without blinking.

You can be poor, even with a million in such a market, and all that happens if you move somewhere cheaper to start again, is you perpetuate the cycle.
I disagree that there was a better crypto than Bitcoin. It's very much a long and very technical discussion that I can't afford right now, but I wanted you to know that your opinion is not universal - it's much less clear cut than "there was a better crypto, why not use it?".
The performance is worse than I would expect with a correctly implemented Floyd-Steinberg algorithm, I'd expect it to rasterize well even with a 2 color palette (that's easier to get right than RGB).

I don't at all mean to diminish the work, it's more a hunch that it's under-performing. I was dicking around with dithering last year, and had similar problems initially.
Do those people attend world of concrete every year do you suppose?

Or is it boring when blue collar workers make this stuff, and only high art when an “artist” hires them to do it?
Are you looking for git checkout 'main@{1 year ago}'

BTW, git doesn't track every change, only when you add the change.
You have a few more weeks to plan your attack. Let's see it.

Regardless of small or big loan, it will be slashed. On PoW chain you would still have the mining hardware to run the attack again.

> multiple inheritance involves enough fiddly surprising behaviour

In which way? MRO is very well defined.

Again, this is composition, which has nothing to do with inheritance. If you need to define a subtype, inheritance is most straightforward.
One thing I think missing from this write-up is to walk through how the Restore process will work with encrypted data under pgsodium.

Namely what will happen when you first restore some data into a new Postgres instance which booted with its own randomly generated root key (the wrong key) and then how you are supposed to patch in the correct key and be able to start reading secrets again?

Also, how does the decrypted view look if you try to read it with the wrong key loaded?

Do you have to worry about a race condition where you boot an instance with some encrypted data but forget to put the key file in place, and then end up with a new random key, saving some new data, and now you have a mix of rows encrypted with two different keys? Or will the whole subsystem block if there’s data stored that can’t be decrypted with the resident key?
Not sure you had to be downvoted for stating a simple opinion. While I don't believe you are right, I'd like to ask for the reasoning that led you to this conclusion.
>This is not my position. My position is "Some Women Affected".

Ok. I think you're honest, but the people you're defending are not. If 'some' women are affected, then women deserve only 'some' of the collective attention of society. Therefore 'Unconcious Bias Against Men' should be a recurring headline in media as the other headline for women is. Therefore 'Male Genital Mutilation' should be an important and widespread topic of discussion and not an obscure piece of arcane trivia that google doesn't bother to index in the first 10 pages. Etc, etc, etc.

>I don't think assertions about what is or isn't inherent to feminism are possible.

Oh I think they are. Feminism is at its core a cluster of interlocking beliefs that women are fundamentally and deeply oppressed by men, that women are locked in an eternal conflict with men, and that this war can only be fought on the gender-wide level, with no room for compromise or exceptions unless those made by men. Show me a piece of feminist media\publication (time limit : 20 min), and I will show you those implicit claims in its (sub)text.

It's very easy to see if you know what to look for.

>It's a term that identifies different sets of (often contradictory or opposite) beliefs depending on who you talk to.

Which is exactly why it should be derided and avoided by all honest people, it's a vacuous identity. Vacuous identites are a tool for the dishonest to use the stupid.

>it's just moral cover for a person's own beliefs

I like this framing, specifically the term 'Moral Cover'. It encapsulates the cowardice inherent in Feminism: instead of coming right out and stating their values in reasonable (but debatable) definitions, moral cowards prefer to cover their beliefs inside vague rituals, cloudy language, and metaphysical confabulations about "Patriarchy", the invisible force that men supposedly have the power to deploy to harm and persecute women anywhere anytime.

>fairness, dignity, and respect

But wouldn't this be trivial ? Do you need an ideology to tell people you want to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect ? Do you need anything else besides the Golden Rule ? Do you need think tanks and Affirmative Action and UN committees ?

This is called a motte-and-bailey maneuver[1]. I'm not accusing you of engaging in it, just that you have fell for it.

Feminists have plenty of other claims and demands besides "fairness, dignity and respect", namely the cluster of beliefs that I summarized above. This is the "Bailey", a pleasant but indefensible territory\claim. As long as feminists are not pressed or forced to argue their case, they can occupy the Bailey. When under attack, however, feminists can retreat to the much more trivially trite "fairness, dignity and respect", this is the "Motte", a very well-defended fort but a useless place to live. They can hide behind those trivially defensible claims till the attack subsides, then they can return to their Bailey again. It's a useful pattern to be aware of.

There's huge amounts of legitimate business happening in NFTs.
I would find it hard to imagine an argument that Beeple's huge sale was somehow not legitimate.

I'm hoping a technical solution appears soon for fraud. NFT fraud is no different from a person on the street doing a high quality print of someone else's artwork, and unlike that situation, a technical solution for NFT fraud is conceivable.
If only there was a way to apply paint directly to a curved surface.
So if California doesn't comply, with the Federal government send the army to California?
The NFT market has been briefly popular and since then has cratered. Also there's a huge amount of wash trading, so most of that activity isn't even real.

It's just an extremely thin market I believe. The October one seems a bit better, you can throw a couple hundred at reasonable prices.
Grading students is probably an archaic way of teaching. You want them engaged not cheating. But ok, institutions want grades... What about this solution?:

https://theconversation.com/i-no-longer-grade-my-students-wo...
I understand the problem here and I sympathize with professors in these circumstances. Learning the fundamentals will remain important. But as others have pointed out: if students are unwilling to learn, or are taking shortcuts, it will ultimately hurt them in the long run.

One thing tho is that things like Copilot put the lie to the hypothesis (propagated mostly by the Google-style job interview) that intensely coding clever for-loops to perform algorithmic magic (for things usually already in the standard library) is the best measure of the competence of a software developer. If it can literally be done by a machine, maybe we should be measuring based on something else. Especially since this kind of thing is best done on the job by looking in a good textbook or using the standard library. Probably grading at the university level needs to consider this also.

I haven't used Copilot. I doubt I'm its intended audience. After 30 years, actually writing code is perhaps the easiest part of my job. The mechanics is the easy part. The big picture thinking and figuring how to get it all together into a system is the hard part (and honestly there are plenty of people far better at it than I am). Now, if we get a Copilot for that ... then our profession is in trouble.
> Vault is a thin usability-layer on top of pgsodium.

Cloudflare and Duck Duck Go also add a bunch of names to routine things that already exist. It's better to just not name it.
There is a DL community that is actually advancing real applications of machine learning at an alarming rate. And there is a rhetorical alliance between AGI spiritualists who are more interested in getting poetic about their moving goalpost, academic politicos that want to shape terminology so that their ideas were important all along (like this article), and DL overhypers who get caught up in the power and attention that come from velocity. To ignore the hype, focus on measurable research results. You'll end up in the DL community, and things are plenty exciting enough without anthropomorphizing.
It can make you irrational. It doesn't necessarily. You are acting as if all mental illness is experienced uniformly the same across all people. It is not. And as if the severity does not vary over time. It does.

And dependimg the disease condition of the bipolar suferrer yes. Depending upon their stability which varies heavily from case to case and individual to individual. Would you want to do so at the peak of mania or the trough of depression, probably not.
It’s also faster to decompress. So it would likely reduce net CPU use for read-mostly resources.
It has always seemed more valid me to distort water rather than land.
Does something like Storyboard exist for LiveView?
If we want the intelligence to be recognizably human-like, then yes. As to whether the AGI could be trained in a simulation vs needing to really be physically embodied: I used to believe not, but then I learned about sim2real. (Ex: [0]) Training blank-slate deep learning algorithms on real hardware is prohibitive. It requires millions of hours of experience. Those hours are really expensive on current-day hardware (also cannot be accelerated, stuck with wall clock time). But if pre-training in simulations can be effective, then I think we have a decent shot in the near-term.

Human-level and human-like are not necessarily the same though. I doubt human intelligence is as general as we like to think it is. There's probably a lot about what we consider intelligence that is domain-specific. Training AGI on unfamiliar domains could be super valuable because it would be easier to surpass human effectiveness there.

My pet conjecture, though, is this: the ability to experiment is key to developing AGI. Passively consuming data makes it much harder to establish cause and effect. We create and discard hypotheses about potential causal links based on observed coincidences (ie, small samples) all the time. Doing experiments to confirm/refute these hypotheses is much less computationally expensive than doing passive causal inference, which enables us to consider many more potential causal linkages. That allows us to lower the statistical threshold for considering a potential causal relationship, which makes it more likely for us to find the linkages that do exist. The benefit of developing accurate causal models is that they are much more compact & computationally-effecient than trying to model the entire universe with a single probability distribution.

> * Zig's std lib data structures are incredibly useful, especially compared to the C++ STL.

I think elaborating on this could make for a very interesting article. :-)

(I have a guess already at one item, which is MultiArrayList, something that kind of blew my mind when I first learned about it, and is in my opinion a very impressive testament to both the power and ease of use of Zig's approach to compile-time computation.)
Hmm... I feel like secrets are the one thing I don't want to be in Postgres... because I want to store my Postgres credentials in the secrets vault! And I certainly don't want to have to update the configuration for every service which accesses my secrets vault every time I upgrade my Postgres database (and the access URL changes).

IMO nobody's doing secret management for small companies / products particularly well, so there's definitely a niche to be filled here. But I'm not quite convinced this is it...
> She is getting tired of hearing me joke, "Doesn't that part of Minnesota look strangely like Southern California?"

Do you do this for every show/film that is set somewhere outside of SoCal but obviously filmed there?
Wrong. You would get all the dizziness that wouldn't be there otherwise.
Right? I absolutely love it. And not even on an expert level. I actually just like it at the first order of liking it.

I really enjoy the aesthetics of these sort of desolate landscapes with isolated constructs in them. Just appeals to me.

I'm also European, and I prefer Linux over Windows. I was using Windows and Linux in parallel for some time, but got really upset when a Microsoft Update changed system settings which was the final nail in the Microsoft coffin for me. At my last two jobs I have been using Linux as my main driver and sometimes Widows via Citrix. Now at my new job I will get a Macbook, which shouldn't be a huge difference to Linux since I already try to install most tools I need for work via Linux-Brew.

That all being said, for me a non Windows desktop at work has become a requirement. If an employer would force me to use Windows I would most probably ask for much more money or more likely leave for another company.
Yeah, bad questions is one part of it. Lex also tends to interject with his own observations or anecdotes that end up interrupting the guest's flow. I'm tuning in because of the guest, not the host. In a guest-oriented format like this, I feel like the goal should be to get the guest to talk. It's just a personal preference for me, so YMMV.
I used ublock origin for removing recommendations and trending topics on sites like twitter, but it never occured to me how easy I can create them using has().
Yes, and? This is orthogonal to PoW vs PoS. In either case, you can treat the resulting cartel as "a single party" for purposes of modelling them.

It's also not really a scenario worth considering.

In order to cooperate, the miners/validators need to have full alignment on their goals. Which is very unlikely for Sybil attacks, which almost always destroy systemic economic value — including the value held by the attackers. You might be able to find e.g. a government who wants to do a Sybil attack to accomplish goal X, and are willing to burn down $N billion dollars of their own staked assets to do so; but can you find a bunch of other governments or large corporations who also want to accomplish that same goal X more than they want their own stake-value? And who can be trusted to coordinate and not leak the plan?

A Sybil attack is basically like a bank heist where the attacker(s) have to pull up to the bank in their own personal aircraft carriers (destroying said aircraft carriers in the process, from the hull damage of sliding along several city streets), without anyone realizing they're coming. You can maybe theoretically do it as one entity with full internal goal-alignment. It's much harder to do it as multiple entities.
If I import a library, I probably don't want to spend the overhead importing a gui I won't be using. Code stripping could handle it but that assumes you know how to strip the libraries safely.

Another way to look at it is other needs outstrip the mild convenience of packaging library and exe code together.
Yeah, the tax could be targeted, e.g. tax on gasoline, or on cars, with ICE cars needing to pay more (even though they're better, public transport is still the better way to prevent the climate catastrophe), but hey, the idea of any tax is probably horrifying tp the libertarians on HN...
This has been his shtick since the 90s.
Yeah I was going to post this. I did some coding the other day and it kept spitting out code that looked right but was calling functions that didn't exist. It also competes with IntelliJ's auto-complete making things doubly irritating.

I leave it disabled more often than it's enabled, unless I'm doing something simple like wanting to copy a file, which in Go is stupidly obtuse.
The first person who needs to know, and approve, is your manager. Don't blindside them. Managers do not like that, and your manager is definitely going to find out if anyone else does.

After you tell your manager, you won't be in control of what happens next. Consider whether or not you should just keep this to yourself and treat this as a fun learning experience. Perhaps you can gauge their potential reaction by asking, hypothetically, whether or not they think working on automation might be a good idea.

I've done something like this before, but with the knowledge of the other people on the team, because we didn't like the manual work we were doing and felt that it was taking time away from other things we needed to do. Hopefully that is the case for your colleagues, or this will not be well received.

While I agree there's a lot of value in wider distribution of arts funding, I suspect the people giving $30mm to this are also giving immeasurably more to other artists than the VCs funding the next cycle of food delivery startups are. More likely the rest of their portfolio is full of straight-up negative value stuff like more payday loan companies.
Is your career in a field where learning any of those things is useful? That's still a financial incentive.
The result of the last 5 years is like seeing a world class professional try to solve problems in his sleep. He can do many amazing things way better than any human, but still can't reason coherently since he is asleep. An awake mouse is still much better than a sleeping human at many problems, so there are limits to what you can do with this approach.
On of the reasons we like art, is that it gives humans a window to transcendence.

Admittingly, not all art forms will have this effect on everyone but a specific painting, or sculpture or a melody might suddenly give you a tiny glimpse of this. Perhaps it was the way the colors melded together, or the symmetry in the picture or an obnoxious pattern that garbed your imagination; this is why people travel thousands of miles across the world to visit galleries, touristic sights and music events.

Ever noticed how your wall looks completely dry and uninteresting until you hang a painting or a beautiful image on it? Try removing music, images, paintings and movies from your existence and see if you can bear it for more than a few seconds.

Without art, life is mundane because art is the outpouring of human imagination.
Almost. I'm implying a wolf would feed on their fellow workers to advance themselves and the other wolves.
I just skimmed this study but other RCTs say no to your first question:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7103435/#:~:tex....

You can go down a rabbit hole with the references in this paper - I think a generally interested layperson is definitely capable of understanding papers like this. My instinct is that the hardest to understand papers are often actually so special-area related that those papers don't contain useful information except for researchers. So you can skip them.

Don't know about the second question and suspect no one else does either.

As an aside - how did you manage that transition to stevia? I despise non-sugar sweeteners and can detect them in very small amounts. For "reasons" I don't eat meat and I supplement protein intake with whey. If it wasn't for a small number of high-quality unflavored (and thus lacking artificial sweeteners) whey isolates I would probably re-introduce meat into my diet.
One relevant question is which system allows for the pooling of resources easier. In PoW you have mining pools, and a member changing pools is trivial as changing an address. In PoS you have large organizations like Coinbase running staking for users. Don't know how withdrawls will work, but that could be a very significant amount of eth. Coinbase would have to vote a certain way to comply with laws.
