>>Preemption would be an enormous mistake

Preemption is always a mistake, i am not sure why everyone wants federal laws for everything, without even touching the fact that Data privacy is in no way even close to any of the enumerated power of the US Federal Government

Federal Laws almost always favor large companies, the exact companies these laws are needed to protect the consumer from

Facebook, Microsoft, etc would love nothing more than to have the federal government take over because has "stake holders" they will be called on to write their own legislation, and will start the revolving door of hiring current, former and future regulators to work in the very corporations they are supposed to regulate.

Federal laws never work for the average citizen

I wonder how much the small number of "gift" lovers is because of cultural mores, that if you say, "oh yeah mostly what I want is my significant other gifting me things" you sound like a shallow gold digger.
Can you clarify? What didn't work out, which languages were involved?
This kind of thing happens often enough that it really should be baked into the language.

Since Java 17 there are records.
Once it becomes more widely accepted just how bad the continual dopamine drip of (especially mobile) social media is for individuals and society, it would be very interesting to find some research into the gender differences. My wife has a theory that, for a variety of reasons, women are more drawn into the online social world than men.
The lottery isn't comparable, first of all it's a money raising scheme. I'm sure the alphafold team is well compensated. Almost certainly making high 6 figures. Alphafold got a massive amount of well-deserved coverage as well.
AFAIK rationalization is basically the bridging of cognitive dissonance. From that perspective it doesn’t seem to be deliberate.
they likely have huge replication infra on top of that which is resilient to individual partition problems.
Isn't that quite a big claim? My question, Is that work with Alphafold that significant that it warrants the eyes of Nobel committee? Genuinely curious.
Here's an excellent series where in a 2003 interview, Anders Hejlsberg discusses lots of these types of things and more.

> I guess that's simply how it works nowadays in publishing:

Not nowadays, this is how it has always worked. Promotion is always trying to find cost effective ways to raise awareness, using whatever tools are available in the budget that makes sense for the project.

You are listening to podcasts that have a correlation, in the days before podcasts you might have noticed the same things with talk shows or magazine articles, the main difference being you might consume fewer of those so not notice as much.
It's the rebirth of Java without the drawback of necessarily needing a runtime; write once in whatever (supported) language and run everywhere, if other platforms like OSes embrace the standard. The closest thing I've found is Flutter but that's only in Dart.

Another use case, imagine a single program mixing and matching many different languages because they all compile up WASM as a universal format. This already happens in the frontend web with so called microfrontends which basically let you write various components in React, Vue, Angular etc and it all compiles down to JS.
Your point is good but the direction of your contempt is misplaced. Lottery winners accounts for a tiny fraction of people who have unearned and undeserved wealth, and in terms of how many people they screwed over to get to riches, they are like angels in comparison to other rich people.

From what I understand, AOSP is not dead, but it's definitely far behind the latest versions of Android. The default apps are not updated, the UI toolkit is behind, most of the new services used by everything in Android are the proprietary bits.

It's basically Darwin at this point, yeah, open source, but in no way shape or form if you build Darwin, do you get Mac OS.
Disclosure, I work at Timescale.

Though I didn't write this post, I'd imagine at least part of it is that it's already nearly 4000 words and a 15 minute read and we just didn't want to add another set of things to it, to be perfectly honest.

`pg_partman` is cool! I haven't used it in a while, and because it uses declarative partitioning, it has some locking issues that we address with our partitioning scheme, but implying that it is OSS and we're not in terms of things like data retention features is a bit misleading as well. The `drop_chunks` command used for data retention is in the Apache 2 licensed portion of Timescale.
Any career path that requires strong cognitive skills is susceptible of being damaged due to brain fog, not just mathematics. Will there be fewer people doing all of them?
A "lock" in programming generally refers to a mutex, semaphore, or similar mechanism implemented mostly in software, e.g. see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science) . The distinction between such locks and atomic instructions is useful, since atomic instructions have various nice properties that locks (or "other locks", if you want to count atomic instructions as locks) do not, such as having no chance of deadlocks, guarantee of (eventual) progress, no chance of interruption, and no chance of blocking other threads forever when a thread executing an atomic instruction gets unlucky and is never scheduled again.

Naturally lockfree algorithms built with atomic instructions may not have (all) of these nice properties.

What better name would you suggest for lockfree algorithms?
You do realize that you can waive your constitutional rights like a jury trial, and that these companies would just make that part of their standard terms of service... Right?
If HN and other forums are doomed to become 4chan, it would probably be a net positive in my life. I waste too much time here.
The EU is randomly investigating the Alliance for Open Media on antitrust concerns -- https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-eu-antitrust-re...

Can anyone understand how it's in anyone's best interest to investigate / potentially stop an open source standard / royalty-free format that has buy-in from tons of big orgs?
Publishers have always "sold" authors, it's the how that's changing. In 1990 internet/social presence probably wasn't seen as meaningful, now it's just one of the standard tools in the bag.
Boom is basically a scaled down Concorde when you look at it from a distance. They've reduced the speed somewhat to keep the fuel burn within certain limits, but it has the same drawbacks that Concorde had: a supersonic boom and enormous fuel burn per passenger. In this day an age of Climate Hysteria this simply won't fly.

I foresee the failure of all supersonic airplane ventures until NASA comes up with a viable sonic-boom free design. Even then, the fuel burn could still make it unsalable.
Thanks for proving my point. "Inflict[ing] collective punishment" is not what anyone was trying to do. Being an actual teacher and knowing and talking to many actual teachers, I can tell you that your assertion that teachers didn't support those policies is uninformed. What teachers wanted was for the safety of students and teachers as well. The issues faced were that schools were very short staffed, and it's difficult to keep children safe and to maintain an effective learning environment when half the faculty and staff are out sick.

The "keep schools open" crowd often floated a false dichotomy where the option was between schooling as normal or closed schools. Schooling as normal was never a realistic option for many districts with missing faculty and staff. They would say "kids are not susceptible to covid, therefore schools are safe" without any concern about teachers who in fact died due to covid, as happened in my district.

Today we're facing a national teacher shortage where those who would have thought about teaching are steering clear of the field, and those currently in it are looking to get out asap. The rhetoric you're displaying here is a large part of the reason why.
Isn’t that called state sponsored terrorism?
Depends on your OS, manufacturer, and version. In Android, it depends on your camera app (and version). Later Google Camera versions have that, for example, but earlier ones (as of a few years ago) did not.
Something requiring decent scale is totally different than being a natural monopoly. There were plenty of DDoS protection options on the market. I can't grow my own wheat, build my own car, or DDoS protect my own website - these all require economies of scale. But they aren't natural monopolies, there's plenty of competition in each space. On the other hand, internet is a natural monopoly because the capital costs are so high and are relatively inelastic with the number of users served.
A four day work week, twice a month, is an excellent solution for more conservative operations managers. We did it back in the early 2000’s with great success.

You can also consider making one Friday a free day and another Friday a mandatory but “special” day for group meetings, training, IR&D and special project presentations, outside speakers, company news, and other productive and motivational activities. Morale will likely go up.
Just remove it.

And both Ukraine and Russia say they are being attacked.

I think there is real bias (and in the West it's more biased against conservatives and some minority groups while it's different elsewhere, depends mostly on the dominant ideology) and there's faux discrimination to get victim points to trade in for control.
That post or user did not get shadowbanned. I can see that comment just above this one. Yes, it has been flagged and downvoted, but you are not shadowbanned.
98% of people are unable to follow your "simple" idea. Hence, it's not simple by definition.

Furthermore, it's not that simple. Lots of other factors affect metabolism, hunger and energy levels, all of which have huge effect on weight loss\gain.
> capitalism's rentseeking proprietary schemes

Correction: greedy assholes rentseeking proprietary schemes. There is nothing in capitalism that says you must obtain your money through unethical means.
Mathematics research requires the most intelligence though.
I think I understood what you were after, giving an example, that is.

When I read the example though, I immediately thought it didn't quite ring true. So I tried to explain to myself why and came up with what I wrote.

Even though there are obviously many examples one could give, where it'd indeed be difficult to see a difference, I didn't want to let this specific example go unchallenged. Why? Because it is so close to the actual topic (Google).
> "I've only ever seen him on TV, so how do I know Ronald Reagan is even real?"

This made me wondering how many among the newer generations social media addicts would think along the lines of "I've only ever seen him in person, so how do I know he is real?".
A private jet (either owned, leased or rented) is a much better option for executive and VIP's than a supersonic one.
In my case, I used to want to be in a relationship, but with age the prospect lost all appeal, and people ceased being interesting to me in that way at all. I never get the thoughts "oh, this person is really nice, I wonder whether I should ask them out on a date" anymore. I do however value normal friends a lot more than I used to. Still I need space even from friends. My life wouldn't be as enjoyable without the solitary mountain hikes and shooting photos of animals for hours alone.
Elasticsearch (another household name) is built on Lucene too, so I wouldn’t count it out.
The elections have been internationally recognized as democratic. Please refer to the quote from the head of the OSCE observers mission I just posted in the parent thread.

That's the only thing that counts, not your assumption on how Ukraine would behave, especially 12 years after said elections.
I'd say the statements at the end were a bit stronger than was warranted, and I'd say something like, "be skeptical of explanations" or "be cautious of explanations." I don't think they said that our brains are _like_ people with lobotomies, but that this was an illustrative example.

I've definitely experienced people's stated beliefs continually disagreeing with their actions, and their producing a font of rationalizations when I asked them about it, until I was forced to conclude they were lying to me only because they'd first lied to themselves. Or confabulated, if you prefer.

And I think it's important to understand that this can happen & that one's self can do it too. Which is, yanno, a meaning.
The problem isn't really installing backstage but integrating all the stuff around it.

It is not a turnkey solution per se and what they call plugins aren't plugins in the traditionnal sense where you would just download a package and put it in a directory. It requires editing the actual react code to set most of them. So maintaining backstage involve maintaining a set of patches and a pipeline to build a docker image.
Ah, yes, I see what you mean. That's probably one reason software developers (at least experienced ones) tend not to make good customers.
> Again, had you specified that ftp/sftp was used for real time communication, I would not have objected. (It would have been fine for the 90's though, and might still be in use if it was completely stable.)

Hahaha, I've seen enough of that sort of stuff that I immediately assumed the reason they objected wasn't the tech but because it was being grossly misused, kind of like trying to build a distributed lock-like-thing on top of S3 or any of a number of other sorts of atrocities you might see with more modern tech.
The only part worth of reading:

> Psychedelic experiences can be interpreted by way of their semantic content as well as their phenomenal character. “I saw the fabric of the universe and we are all made of Lego!” may prompt the question: “What size and shape were the blocks? How did they fit together?” By careful observation of the details, we may avoid missing the trees for the forest.
Well, this thread is in the parallel universe in which Google would have sold only its own Android devices. So no Android + LG, Sony, Samsung, Huawei, etc.

If you look at Google's hardware's capabilities, Android would have flopped immediately.

As bad as the org level issues were with Windows Phone, it would have still beaten Android-on-Google-hardware-only.
> But that's not Google's fault. They can't make Samsung have brilliant ideas about how to rearchitect the OS core.

One of anticompetitive restrictions identified was:

> ‘anti-fragmentation agreements’, under which the operating licences necessary for the pre-installation of the Google Search and Play Store apps could be obtained by mobile device manufacturers only if they undertook not to sell devices running versions of the Android operating system not approved by Google;

So no, Samsung can't just fork AOSP.
The Nobel committee usually prefers to wait and evaluate longer-term impact, so I'd be quite surprised. CRISPR was obviously revolutionary in 2013 (imo, more than alphafold), and won the Nobel in 2020.
The reverse is true as well. What would be the point of influencing government if it gave you no power over it?
The great wall of china was partially funded by lotteries. I don't think anyone from the future is going to have anything to say about today's lotteries. Lotteries will probably still be popular in a hundred years.
Good question. Probably both, depending on the country you live in.
Krea dev here.

Lexica is a search engine (like krea.ai), but it doesn’t allow you to create collections or like generations.

Regarding the API, both have public APIs although I’m not sure if you can paginate through several search results using the public Lexica API. In the Krea Prompts API, you can do cursor-based pagination.

Finally, Lexica API allows you to do CLIP-based search, but with Krea we are using PostgreSQL full-text search (for now). However, the code to do CLIP search with the dataset (including reverse image search) is in the repository.

(edit: also, nor Lexica nor other search engines or similar products are offering the dataset afaik.)
I routinely drive 10 hours in the US for week long vacations with the kids.

My European relatives can't even believe it when I tell them. They think driving that long is some superhuman ability.

I'm quite content listening to my history podcast for 10 hours.
Demis Hassabis made tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars in the Deep Mind acquisition. I'm sure most people would consider that to be adequate compensation.

If anything, the lesson is that if you care about making lots of money from your research (not everybody does), start a company. And it's easier for academics to start companies today than in any other era.
They help anyone who wants to pay trace crypto. Their product is well implemented, and they have skilled and motivated people. There are competitors who offer similar, and in my opinion not as well done, but for considerably money.

I don't like the way any of these companies encourage authorities to impose requirements for KYT, but it's unsurprising.
Given that Homebrew is using GA basically as a raw database / dashboard, the distinction between “google” and “google analytics” feels pointless here.

The thing that makes GA worse for your privacy than other 3rd party datastores is the linking/inferences because of its shared nature. If you visit 100 sites that use GA for tracking, Google (and to an extent, those 100 site operators) are benefitting from the joining of your browsing history across all the sites.

By contrast, Homebrew is submitted logs to GA with a custom UUID not shared by any other application / requests / browsing that you do, without your IP address, and without any metadata that would link your Homebrew activity to other non-Homebrew activity. They needed a place to send metrics, and GA is providing them the data storage and visualization layers.

If I wrote a FUSE filesystem called “GAFS”, that stored arbitrary encrypted files as GA metrics using their API, I’d technically be using GA but it would be weird to file issues about the privacy impact of having GA code in my CLI tool.
Anyone can release a “free version” of a phone that runs Android. How successful of an effort will that be without proprietary Google Play Services?
I know which study you're talking about. I don't recall if Labov addressed gender differences in that specific study but, if he did: in that situation, lower class men would be even less likely to use the rhotic (with /ɹ/) pronunciation than lower class women, and prefer the non-rhotic (without /ɹ/) one instead.
"Practical Statistics Simply Explained" by Russel Langley was an excellent introduction to statistical concepts that gives one a real "feel" for how to apply statistics in real-world use. I highly recommend working all of the problems in the text.
Communication is infrastructure. A social network is not. Pretty straight forward.
The EU doesn't want big tech out. It wants big tech abusers out.

And guess what, most of those big tech abusers are American.

But if it helps with anything, it doesn't look too kindly upon Chinese companies, either.

It can't really do much about European big tech companies since there aren't that many left... and they're in enterprise markets where things work completely differently (enterprises can sue you themselves very efficiently if they're disadvantaged, thank you very much).
> they would still much rather prefer 1 law rather than 5 (trending towards 50) different laws that contradict each other

A perfect example of how these megacorps destroy the fabric of our political process. The fact that dealing with state regulations is a burden isn't our (the people's) problem, we have a right to have our state's reflect our will. They want to scale up to this massive size raking in billions of dollars, that should come with the territory.
Could someone tell me whether it's possible to somehow feed data into this project to improve its translation and transcription capabilities on our own?

100% this... I was our web dev working with marketing, and before I got there, short URLs/marketing links had to be manually created as new pages in Drupal sometimes, in a 301 redirect dashboard other times (what the hell), which meant submitting a ticket, waiting for it to get prioritized, etc., then making sure there were no conflicts anywhere.

Switched it out with a cheap commercial short URL system with its own domain, and the marketers could login anytime and make their own URLs, see all the analytics, edit the destinations, etc.

Everyone was much happier after that. It did indeed cut the wait from days to seconds, and plus they had real-time usage data after that.
When a URL is generated and contains some long cryptic un-memorizable code they're pretty handy (but only if you can specify the path name yourself, which is how I use tinyurl)
At the first Google search (irony) I found that apple is maybe around 30% maybe (depending on the source) a bit hight than Samsung which is pretty close.
but when looking at iOS vs Android then we have 30% (iOS) vs 60% (Android).

this does not look at all even close to a monopoly from Apple.

As far as I see their power in Europe comes from the fact that competition is following them in some decisions.
No. The choice isn't limited to an IDE or Notepad. There's also the choice of a reasonably powerful text editor like Emacs, Vim, or VS Code. Those have many of the advantages of an IDE while still being more flexible and not trapping you into an IDE platform that is often hard to move way from (generally by intention by the IDE creators who want lock-in).
If I recall the right click & enter password as HTML didn't work. Neither did selecting the input element & modifying the value. Those are my first 2 I usually try. I'm assuming they're doing some crazy silly state/event tracking with their virtual keyboard elsewhere. I didn't dig into it that close. I just grumbled & shook my head.
I'm pleased to see the word "causation" reappear along with the word "science".

But I'm disappointed to see the word "proven". It isn't proven, and there are a number of problems.

One is that the hypothesis is never really tested, this is just more data analysis. I don't want to split hairs over the definition of "science" but if you don't have an experiment where you intervene in the real world and dispassionately record what happens, then it's probably not science.

The scientific method is a causation-finding machine intended to avoid all of the errors that humans are likely to make. Perhaps that leads to too few exciting results, so now we have a bunch of "scientific studies" instead.
