BetterTouchTool has a lot of overlap with AHK I believe. Lets you remap keyboard/mouse actions globally and/or per application and perform actions or run scripts on keyboard/mouse input ands lots of features of that kind.

(Never used AHK myself but the couple times I looked for something similar to BetterTouchTool on Windows I got recommended AHK)

The world population has increased by ~154% since 1962, not 267%. You have to go back to some time in the 1930s for the higher growth figure to be true.

That's so dull and unambitious. If astronauts are celebrities it implies there aren't many of them, which implies you're not doing many missions. It's manned space travel as an expensive toy for national prestige and pork barrel spending, i.e. nothing new at all.

>It's in the agency's best interests to be relatable and inspiring to the widest swath of the population possible.

I mean that just says it all, doesn't it? The organization pursuing whatever will further the organization, rather than achieving the nominal mission.

Thank God we have SpaceX who are actually slashing launch costs and aiming to commoditize space travel. Astronauts shouldn't be inspiring celebrities, they should be like aircraft pilots. Competent, professional, and ubiquitous.

Reagan was sufficiently before my time that I have very limited opinions on what he actually wanted, though I would certainly tend to agree with that. I have no idea what modern Republicans actually want or believe. Obviously their elite class wants power above all, but the rank and file never seem to get much other than grievance.

Appalling that they still haven't got a workable strategy to stop their platform being used to groom and exploit children.

But even if they had, how unsavoury to even be considering running a digital pimping business. When so many women are trafficked into this, they'd still be profiting from sexual abuse, even if they did have a handle on the child sexual abuse.
You don't even need to use words. A car that runs off a road into a field has a higher than random chance of hitting the only tree in the field.
Anyone I know that followed Rogan usually begins to take on the I'm a victim to things that don't affect me persona. Whether it's those "uppity stupid women", or gays and trans "getting more rights than us". It's the usual toxic masculinity soup that's easy to drink, but poison nonetheless.

In general people aren't keyed into what falls under programming into rightwing extremist views. The formula is simple: make an argument about something that doesn't really matter, make it convincing by cherrypicking the "facts", and glossing over the inconvenient ones - then make it feel pressing and relevant to the audience by citing a [usually exaggerated] example of how this has affected some poor-mans life. It's a process that relies on ignorance, while setting off parts of the brain that lead to attentive behaviour - the exact realisation that facebook also made, hence why they significantly favour anything that gets the "angry" like-response.

Joe Rogan isn't alone in this of course. Talk-back radio does it, Reddit does it, 9gag does it - no matter where you go on the internet you'll find a place where you can be angry and scared about something that doesn't affect you one bit.

As for the media companies and personalities pushing this: yes they know.

Add it to the long list of Malthusian predictions that have failed.
Some Unicode characters can be represented with different sequences of Unicode codepoints. For example é can be a single codepoint U+00E9 "latin small letter E with acute" or it can be the two codepoints U+0065 "latin small letter E" and U+0301 "combining acute accent".

This is independent of the Unicode encoding, which turns those codepoints into bytes, for example using UTF-8 this gives C3A9 or 65CC81.

Users don't really have control about what their keyboard/application is putting in the text field when they press the button, and obviously the hash of those is different so the password wouldn't match. Normalization is the process of turning the characters into its composed form (in my example "\u00E9") or the decomposed form ("\u0065\u0301"), so you can then compare your codepoints/bytes/hashes.

You're in the small, but vocal minority of people who incorrectly believe that direct democracy is the only form of democracy that exists, or that the term 'constitutional republic' says literally anything about how a country is governed.

The US is a respresentative democracy that is also a constitutional republic.

Denmark is a representative democracy that is also a constitutional monarchy.

Canada is a representative democracy that is also an unconstitutional monarchy.

Russia is a kind-of-if-you-squint-but-not-really-representative oligarchy-slash-autocracy that is also a constitutional republic.

Whether or not a country has a constitution, or is a republic has almost no bearing on how it is actually governed.

Most horror movies are meh, but one... Lights Out (2013) was a horror film that genuinely terrified me. It's only a few minutes long, but it's more frightening than the jumpscare-laden slasher movies of the era ever could be. It's phenomenally subtle in its setup, showing how the slightest thing "off" in the dark can portend unimaginable horror. Check it out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lykiTPUbtgs

Don't know if this is sarcasm, if it is, ignore the rest of the comment.

Honestly, it sounds terrible.

Good shows are well written, coherent and, most of all, narrow in scope.

If an AI can write the next Better Call Saul, great.

Randomly patching together tropes sounds more like kids drawings, that are interesting on an artistic point of view, maybe, given their limited knowledge of reality and narrative, but terribly boring and confusing as a form of entertainment.

Unless the audience is kids, they love that stuff, for reasons we don't understand anymore as we grow up.
> with the help and active involvement of the West

Yes, many ascendants had contact with the West. It’s how they played the game so well at the start of shock therapy. In most cases, they hired the right consultants who helped them do things like hoover up shares from people who didn’t know better to build a controlling stake. But to get to that point, they’d already accumulated assets.

The West enabled the rise of Russia’s oligarchs. But it didn’t mint them.

Regarding printing it in 0.5 font, I don't think this kind of passive-aggressive rebellious act accomplishes anything, and actually highlights how powerless he is. It caused extra work and frustration for the poor guy who got handed the job of transferring the private key from paper, but nobody else was bothered. His shutting down the service was much more of a stance.
> isn't it cultural ?

On the one hand, in the scale of brutality, every nation in history is at least 1 level below the Imperial Japan in WWII.

On the other hand, after the decisive show of force, beaconed by the nuclear bomb, Japan realized that brutality is going to cause the doom of that nation. So they naturally bowed down. After that brutality is no longer necessary, like a beaten dog that would not really need a leash.

I don't personally see much difference between how I trained myself to be a portrait artist vs. how diffusion models do. In order to learn to draw stylized portraits, I looped over:

1. Find a photo of a person as reference
2. Create portrait
3. See how well the portrait compares to the reference and the stylized art I was drawing inspiration from.

The work I was doing was original in colloquial sense, but also I see zero reason why what the AI's process is fundamentally inferior to mine.
Good reply, thanks.

But I notice the very first sentence of that link: "The People's Republic of China is a one-party state ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."

So, yes, there are other parties that are allowed to exist. (If you want one that doesn't include "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" as part of the platform, you're out of luck, though.)

But some of those parties actually have people who have won elections and have seats, which is more than I thought was the case. That's slightly less "one-party state" than I thought.

Still... there's also a list of banned parties. I'm trying to remember when the last time was that the US banned a political party. So China lets there be alternate parties, as long as they don't stray very far from the CCP orthodoxy. That's more than I thought, but it's considerably less than political freedom.

> A good government wants the population overall to be in good health, and has a budget within which it must operate. It may make more sense for the government to ignore your rare disease if detection/treatment is expensive, and that money can be better used to save, say, 10 people with a more common disease.

That happens on the research funding side (e.g. it makes more sense to spend research money on cancer or heart disease than on an obscure disorder that only 10 people have).

However, it's not true that the government will provide misinformation or otherwise get in the way of diagnosing your rare disease to save money.

There are a lot of studies about the cost/benefit tradeoff of early diagnosis and preventative screenings. The goal isn't to reduce healthcare expenditure, it's to reduce problems and deaths from unnecessary procedures and treatments. We learned a lot from previous eras of over-treatment and over-testing that led to a lot of unnecessary treatments due to false positives. The risks of over-treating can actually outweigh any benefit of excessive testing, for example.

This is counterintuitive to individuals who want to order huge numbers of tests all the time just in case something might be wrong. The problem is that a lot of diseases may have occurrence rates on the order of 1 in 10,000 or 100,000 per person-year, while the tests may only be 98% to 99% accurate. This 1 to 2 in 100 will be misdiagnosed as false positives and potentially put on expensive medications or treatments that have negative health consequences. It's a very real problem that isn't obvious from the individual level but becomes very obvious at the population level when you start looking at the details.

But no, the government isn't actually hiding information about diseases or misleading people in an attempt to reduce costs. With many conditions it's actually much more expensive to be diagnosed later in the disease than it is to be diagnosed earlier when many conditions are more receptive to treatment.
> The basic concept is to get the normal compiler front end like clang to emit its LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) as a bitcode file, then run a custom LLVM pass over this to inject DRTI code at the appropriate places.

DRTI is pronounced "dirty." This sounds impressive as heck but also I'd never be an early adopter.
I partially wanted to express it with "totalitarian state and lack of checks and balances". However, I slightly disagree. Being an authoritarian ruler, Gorbachev had lots of power. It is proven by the fact that his reforms were radical and unsuccessful, and many of the problems that the Soviet union faced during its demise were exacerbated by them. Of course, the Soviet Union was to suffer some losses but they could have been milder. But may be you are 100% correct. I don't feel knowledgeable enough on the topic of late Soviet union to argue.
I guess that depends how you define “big picture.” If you’re talking as a company what kind of infrastructure are we going to buy, what will be the storage platforms, ingress, message brokers, service mesh, sure. That is handled centrally by a platform group, which gives product teams a relatively constrained sandbox to play in. But specific products, features, and services are handled directly between product management and senior engineers, with a design doc reviewed by other senior engineers. No one has the title Architect and the same person generally owns architecture and implementation of the same functionality.
Yey it's always US fault.
Russian people obviously have no agency
That's because of the shared historical context of the US having meddled, isn't it?
If you read through the research papers, a big section always deals with benchmarks. That’s because the output needs to be quantified in some way in order to improve the models. Several benchmarks have been proposed for text to image models.

You're going to have to put more effort communicating that you've thought about what you're asking (including effort in laying out what you're even asking) if you expect any effort to be put into a response. Of your three comments here, two out of three are (ambiguous) one-liners, and three out of three come off like you took all of 10 seconds to bang them out before hitting the "reply" button.

Even if that happens, I'm past 50/50 on the question of "is this even worthy of further engagement?" at this point. (It's pretty much at a 100% "no".)
A lot of things are painted black as well.
Is that supposed to make the situation better? I believe there is an inverse relationship between this person's knowledge of NAD+ and the creepiness of Rogan having her offer it to guests. Can this person speak to why someone should get this injection or answer questions about the side effects or potential negative interactions this could have with other drugs? I think that is basic knowledge a qualified nurse would normally have when administering care. Not having someone on site to speak to this would make Rogan's offering of the injections creepy in my opinion.
I haven't read it but think that the book "Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World" might be interesting for you.
The US had a very consistent pattern of going for the Oil during that period, and the results are pretty clear. I'm not sure more US influence in Russia would have gone the way people hope.
Their needs are mostly about cheap internet costs reasonably close to shore. Presumably they will continue to need their existing systems on repositioning cruses until Starlink’s satellite to satellite communication works but 90% of their needs can be met without that.
Completely agree. Why would have Russia agreed to a Marshall plan? It makes little sense.

One issue is that an optimization like this could have resulted from many prior inlinings and foldings that had to work together to create the pattern that was finally matched, so it's not obvious to point the user to what they should change their code to. Maybe they actually intended that the code get folded at the end by the compiler, but all of those optimizations were done by templates that will get folded a different, but equally cool way, under different specializations.

Generally I think some of LLVM's optimizations are trying too hard for the amount of complexity and compilation overhead they create. All that complexity comes at the risk of bugs. With optimizations around UB, it becomes downright mind-boggling what could go wrong. But I'm not an LLVM maintainer so what the heck do I know.
All parties in the ecosystem tolerate some levels of fraud. The threshold for action varies over time (e.g., if ${bot-detector-company} has a press release that blames the Russians, people will care for a few weeks) and it depends on who is complaining. Detection of low-hanging fruit at small scales is often straightforward, and you can detect the clumsiest fraudsters using basic analytics tools. But detection at scale is hard, especially if you have a large number of clients that are not a homogeneous or predictable. The nature of organic traffic visiting streaming platforms, ticket sales sites, news sites, blogs, etc. are all very different. From my experience, the hardest part of the fraud detection space is getting some action in response to a fraud alert.

I find the ‘10-15 week expected life’ extension per person quite a useless and callous statistic. You’re talking about individual lives, peoples grandparents and friends. Their death doesn’t get averaged out among the population. It’s a person. If your dad died of Covid you wouldn’t just write ‘it’s ok, the expected lifespan is only dropping by a couple of seconds’, right?

I live in Australia and I absolutely hated our policy of mandatory vaccination, but I’m glad our lockdowns saved lives. Don’t reply telling me they weren’t mandatory either. For most people quitting work or study is not an option, so bugger off.
You can add Moldova to the list. Yes, now the people have well wealthier lifestyles than during he soviet period, and overall the direction seems optimist. But going from a postcard republic of sorts, to literally the poorest country in Europe, the transition has heavily bruised many people's faiths.
This is baloney. I was in Russia for a half year around 95-96. The standard of living was much deteriorated from Soviet times, especially for people on fixed incomes (basically almost everyone over the age of 50), and nobody hesitated telling me that.
