Ok, so we're agreed that you're not affected at all but instead want to talk about an entirely different concern.

This concern is where does the money "come from?". No money is coming from anywhere, because no money is changing hands. It is debt that is owed that is no longer owed. No money is taken from any pool of money to pay is off, it is simply removed from the books. No government program is paying for this. No taxes are levied on you. You will not see your tax bill go up as a result of this. Levying taxes is a power of congress, no the executive, so Biden could not do this even if he wanted to.

Your next question is why are we helping these people who need it - we are helping them because they need it, because great countries take care of their own. You were able to pay off your loans - that's great! But many others did not fare as well, and it is in our collective interest that they not suffer so terribly for this financial burden. Less money being paid back to these programs (which have terribly high interest rates to begin with) means more money stimulating the economy. It means more money will trickle up to the corporation you work for, and you will see some measure of this benefit.

I would suggest that instead of spending so much time being upset about how some people at the bottom got some help you instead redirect that energy toward the programs benefiting those who do not need the help and are absorbing resources that utterly dwarf students having to pay $10k less - the military, oil subsidies, megafarm subsidies.

As long as we're punching, why not punch up instead of down?

EDIT: As for "why are we only giving to these people who need it" - great question! I would welcome giving more help out. I would agree this measure doesn't go far enough. We could be doing more, and we should demand that we do!
Usually, when I do this, I immediately end up with a comment that doesn't reflect the code, and is cut and moved around so many times that it's not legible anymore. So I try to replace the comment with code, at once or piecewise (on what case, the comment doubles as a TODO list) during the process.
You don't have to be an Apple customer to be affected by Apple's anticompetitive business practices. Apple's actions affect the whole market and all consumers in that market, that's the point behind antitrust law and litigation.
Your notion of character doesn't necessarily match others, and there are many cases where the number of possible "characters" in some notion is unbounded. Unicode provides a very well-defined superset of those notions for you. Collecting characters is only a minor portion of their jobs.

I'm curious what you see as wrong there?

The original study said that 50-55% made it back into prison. The new study says it's more like 33% that make it back into prison. Yes, 1 of 3 is better than 1 of 2 but it's still 1 of 3. I'd call that high personally. In what other circumstance would I take a risk of something bad happening if the bad outcome happpened 1 out of 3 times?

What about data? Does using AutoML increase the amount of data needed, due to needing more complex cross-validation setups, or can you get away with roughly the same split?

I ask because I find that where the most domain knowledge is needed is when less labeled data is available, and that's also where I would assume AutoML doesn't perform as well.
In addition to what pseudalopex said I was figuring the thing to think about was what the people evaluating him would assume, not anything true or false about him. Just like say a trans man may still experience sexism aimed at women
These tools wont replace artists or needing some sort of artistic sense - there are several indie games that had professional artists working on the assets but the developers behind them completely massacred their art.

As an example check out Frayed Knights on Steam - i really like the game and think it is both very fun and a very competent freeform blobber RPG, but despite the author having help from artists (and he even worked in some beloved PS1 games himself so he wasn't an amateur at it), the visuals are downright ugly - the UI even looks worse than the default Torque theme! The fact that the game was shipped with what it looks like a rough placeholder made in MS paint for the inventory background, tells me that the only reason for that is that the developer (whom, do not get me wrong, i otherwise respect, just not when it comes to visuals) is blind when it comes to aesthetics (which is a shame because the actual game is both very humorous and has an actually deep character system - but due to the visuals it was largely ignored).

This wont be solved by AI, at the end of the day someone will have to decide that something looks good and someone will have to integrate whatever output the AI creates with the game.

What will actually happen is that people with some artistic skills will be able to do things faster than they were able before - it will improve several types of games (i.e. those whose art styles fit whatever the AI creates), but it wont let someone without artistic skills suddenly make high quality art assets.
View top level chess as two super GMs playing a game in three rounds.

* Round 1: negotiate the starting position, aka 'and now we have a new game of chess'

* Round 2: play chess using prep. generally only one side fully benefits during this phase.

* Round 3: play chess

Computers mostly impact human chess in round 2. It's not just as if you had every human super GM working for you for X years, X as large as you want; the ideas from computer analysis go beyond that. The role of humans in round 2 is looking at computer lines and deciding if the ideas might be transferred to human chess.

Computers do not seem to inform/impact the game of poker as much, absent cheating. Computer cheating, though, where you are aware of the computer's complete evaluation of a position, would seem to be less impactful w/r/t poker than with chess. A computer (eg: Stockfish) crushes a super GM without mercy. So I have issues with saying 'X is just Y' now, because it seems to be different on both ends.

If you decide that the three round structure above is problematic, Fischer 960 dramatically changes rounds 1-2. But that's a different game.

It just goes to show that regardless of criticism online, marketing is what sells games (and indeed, anything). The fact that they fixed the game partially does help, but it is not a necessary property of selling a game.
Definitely not great or an expert at chess but I don't think you're correct.

I've definitely heard that knowing that puzzles are much easier for GMs/etc because they know there is a winning move in that situation. Checking the board periodically with an engine to know the evaluation would also let you know when there is a very good move to play.

> I never actually trust that documentation to be accurate or up-to-date. I expect it to be misleading and time-wasting, and so I only trust the code itself.

Two things here:

1) I don't implicitly trust comments. Obviously, the code is the definitive source of reference, and where the comment differs from the code, it only means that something interesting happened. But...

2) I believe in commenting "why" or "who", and less often, "what" (and rarely "how"). My experience is that "why" comments age well -- even if the code drifts, the intent of a method or class changes infrequently.

For example:

# I (timr) wrote this method because I needed a way to
# invert the index for {situation}, and {method a} and
# {method b} didn't work because {reason}.

is a better, more evergreen comment than:

# this method inverts the index for {situation}.

which is far better than:

##
# inverts index.
# @args foo, bar, baz
#

Unfortunately, nearly all doc generation software encourages the latter, and so many comments are pretty darned useless. The first example is great because even if {method a} and {method b} and {reason} fail to be true in the future, some other programmer can come along and read it and say "ok, I understand why this was written this way, and the preconditions motivating it are no longer valid. maybe I can refactor."

This is hugely valuable.
Could just be ADD. ;)

I suspect that the driving force behind Apple’s new desire to be repairable is legislative.

IMO:

Not profit of the “self-service” repairs, nor the improvement to the bottom line when they refurbish their own devices.

Not some future goal of selling people the parts and/or tools.

Not the goal of being ecologically sustainable (though IMO they do very well at this).

I think they are working very hard to steer the Right to Repair ship so that it avoids successfully docking.

If Right to Repair gets everything that it could in the interests of the public, Apple will lose a lot of things. They will lose exclusivity contracts that lock in the manufacturers (it will be almost impossible to stop 3rd party duplicates of parts). They will lose a portion of the income from users who would would repair instead of upgrading. They will lose the illusion of security that they enjoy currently (unrestricted repair communities uncover every tiny detail, especially those ones that are security holes). They will lose the ability to lock people in to the Apple cloud (Jailbreaking will be inevitably easier). And they might even lose the pristine brand image they have built.

If Apple continued on the path of unrepairable iPhones, at some point they would be one of the examples that got Right to Repair signed in to law. However, they might be banking on the idea of saying “we’re making steps” for long enough that legislators will have space to stand down and the public will lose momentum.

Then they can go full-throttle on control.

A glance at the code, it appears to be the code for generating the world.

Placing all those blocks by hand would be tedious.

I believe you are seeing a complier of code -> red stone, not code embedded into Minecraft.

(late edit: The file name is src/redpiler/mod.rs - a search brings up https://www.reddit.com/r/redstone/comments/md1xwy/redpiler_t... which is posted by the same author as the video creator... and that appears to be an optimized Redstone interpreter (terms get confusing here if you try to say that this is a that)...

> MCHPRS is an open source project with the goal of allowing high speed redstone execution. This speed was achieved by generating a graph structure of all redstone links. MCHPRS can compile redstone into a graph and execute based on it.

> This is what the generated graph looks like: https://imgur.com/a/J51nJvV

> Redpiler is just a proof of concept and I expect to be able to get much faster speeds in the future :D

> This sort of term is made up by c suites for c suites, arguing about semantics is rarely productive and I'm inclined to believe that's the case here.

That's the point of the article, yes. It's about the mismatch of expectations and behaviors between C suite, which expects every business to do its duty on pains of lawsuit, and hobbyist FOSS programmers, who don't see themselves as in business and who have less than zero duty to FrobnitzWare/Invisible Corporation kabushiki gaisha LLC Limited AG despite the fact that August Corporate Personage decided to base Essential Business Processes on their work.

I mean, fundamentally, the programmers are in the right, in that the company cannot, in point of fact, rely on a contract it never drew up or got anyone to sign, but the companies will do the legal equivalent of holding their breath and stamping their feet and this is something people will, every so often, write blog posts about. Heck, maybe, just this once, a blog post will inform some C suite suits about the power gradient here (corporations: none, rando programmers: quite a bit, in fact) and maybe nudge some of them to, maybe, not make software that collapses when left-pad's author has another Big Idea.
> Memorizing opening lines in Chess960 is certainly possible

I don't think so.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess

> The random setup makes gaining an advantage through the memorization of openings impracticable; players instead must rely more on their skill and creativity over the board.

It's not just the 960 unique starting positions, but then each of those if given enough analysis probably has 2-4 optimal 1st moves for white, plus 3-5 optimal 1st move responses for black. That's roughly 5,760 - 19,200 optimal 1st move pairs, which is a lot to memorize to just get you to the 2nd move.

At the GM level, a traditional opening is anywhere from 5 - 15 moves long before you might see a non-trival expectation of deviating from explored lines, so memorizing 960 openings to any reasonable level of depth quickly becomes highly impractical.
This reminds me of an anecdote about code which was always beautifully commented.

The author would code while wasted and couldn't remember anything if it wasn't on the page in front of them, hence the comments.
Definitely agree with this.

I've stopped worrying about remembering details, and just assume that my neural network brain will figure out what is worth retaining. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, but life goes on. Not having anxiety about forgetting things feels wonderful.

Very often it's a lot easier to remember the journey to a piece of information than the information itself. I remember reading about some Greek scholar who'd imagine his long speeches as walks, which helped him memorize them. I think we are more suited to learning journeys than destinations. Maybe there's simply more concepts to connect neurons to.

Tangentially, I've gotten better at remembering walks and drives as well, not through any conscious effort, but simply cultivating a sense of curiosity about the world around me. The more I learn about how the world fits together, the more interesting tidbits I notice in a location, and when I see the same place again it reminds me of the previous time I was there.
I was excited about Waypipe until I read that it has to ship compressed pre-rendered video frames over the wire, and all the desktop can do is decompress and composite them. I believe VNC and RDP are much the same, sending bitmaps rather than structured GPU commands from the app.

We could expect everyone to start investing in datacenter GPUs, but architecturally “one GPU per display, plugged directly into the display” always made a lot more sense to me.
The Edgerunners anime is really good, so I guess it did help with the nostalgia.

If everything matters, then every decision and every moment has weight and also matters. The "existential hope" you are talking about sounds just like "do what thou wilt" or the new, more modern adaptation of that phrase "do what you want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else". That first phrase is an Anton Lavey quote (a satanist) and the second is a nonsensical libertarian version of the same premise. "Do what thou wilt" is still nihilism. That viewpoint completely ignores that we are part of a community and that our actions affect those around us. It's also a poor foundation for trying to understand the world because it is still a relativistic worldview, which I have found to be very disastrous for individuals and for societies as a whole.

There's a book called Nihilism by Seraphim Rose that does a much better job of laying out and explaining the problems with nihilism (whether the "despairing" version or the "hopeful" or "liberal" version).

No amount of housing will help those doing drugs and defecating on the streets. They need mandatory treatment if they are public nuisance (which they absolutely are).

I was a contractor at the time of that announcement, and I remember using Apple's announcement as leverage to convince a customer to fund migrating their learning app from flash to html/JavaScript.

Given how difficult it was to maintain a flash codebase well with multiple developers jumping in and out of the project, we pushed that angle pretty hard
It's not just that people don't know about the feature. I'd argue having the side-by-side calculator views is fundamentally different (and much better) than just having a memory-store/memory-recall button. E.g. in this app, you get to see the full equations that went into a particular set of calculations as you go back and forth.

What I mean is that the gap between someone who has studied the new opening vs someone who hasn't studied would be huge so players have a much stronger incentive to prepare. And with an engine the new theory comes out immediately, it's not like you're waiting for humans to develop it.

Imagine a match in classical chess between a 2600-rated plyaer who has spent time preparing their classical openings and a 2800 rated player who hasn't prepared at all - the 2800 player will still have a large edge. Now imagine the same scenario for a 960 game where the lower-rated player has spent 4 days evaluating the opening with an engine and the high-rated player hasn't - in this scenario the advantage from the engine prep is much bigger. The mix of novelty + opportunity to prepare is such that from a game theory perspective the whole thing becomes prepare-or-lose if their overall chess strength is reasonably close otherwise.
