I do think the Russian army has been performing poorly and perhaps it will continue to. On the other hand, perhaps it won't. Or, perhaps the poorly performing Russian army will resort to measures, like nuclear weapons, that we would sincerely prefer them not to use.

I think direct US involvement in a conventional war against Russia is a very, very bad outcome. That's a large part of why I oppose continuing the war and think it would be a good idea for there to be peace.

It doesn't make me pro-Russia to prefer peace to war and want a settlement. That just makes me pro-peace. Killing more Russians will not restore life to the dead or undo the tortures that were inflicted on the living. The reasoning that, because the Russians have done bad things we must prolong the war leads to needless additional suffering.

How many hundreds of thousands of people should die to determine which flag waves in Donbas, Luhansk, or Crimea? How many billions will we put at risk by increasing the odds of nuclear war?

I just love the idea of a bunch of wound up low IQ US-first nationalist grunts going up to Canada, actually being welcomed with courtesy somewhat, occasionally finding common ground in sports and outdoors activities, and eventually the grunts either settle and stay or turn around and go home because why mess up those nice folks lives?

Either that or whatever latent racial issues might be in Canada would touch off and turn the place into nothing like we’ve seen up there before.
No, it's not. They're just inexperienced and it will stop/become more thoughtful as they're gaining experience and learn how the pieces actually fit together.

The reality is that half of the tutorials and answers you can find won't work. Either because they're doing something entirely different or because they're for a tool/framework that's deprecated the functionality.

A beginner won't be able to tell this simply because none of the pieces are known to them.

When a person with more experience finds these tutorials they'll likely know within seconds if a given answer or tutorial is even remotely applicabe, which enables them to be much more thoughtful about what to do.

You'll potentially waste weeks on trivial tasks if you're hellbent on actually fully understanding something right at the start, and if the beginner does this the more experienced ppl will complain how inapt they're.

Honestly, you both just sound like toxic people in that regard and should not be allowed to work with total beginners. Which is fine, but the issue really isn't with the pupil that's just clueless. They need somebody to give them a tutorial and guide which is applicable and they'll learn how that piece works, now keep repeating that until they've got a basic understanding of the system and only then can they work on their own

> If Google wanted to get rid of ad blockers they would make them against the rules in their extension store.

You fail to understand the grand strategy. Outright banning ad blockers would be quite radical and may push people away from using Chromium. Simply progressively gimping ad blockers increases Google's revenue from advertisements while keeping all those users.

I do not use Chrome. I use Mozilla Firefox, since it supports a better webRequest API so that uBlock can block ads despite things like CNAME cloaking.
I agree, that is a problem: people forget the ”graph” in GraphQL. It’s too easy to just create new query resolver to resolve that one ticket instead of thinking how data relates to other data and how it could be resolved using that other data.

That is ultimately a people problem, however: why doesn’t it click that a ”resolver” is intended to ”resolve” other entities based on fields of the parent entity?

Ive tended to pack just like this, though got there through trial and error. I'll often pad between heavier items and the rear most of the pack such that it stacks them close to my back. (Edit for clarity: I pack like the second image, weight int he middle for good stability in harder terrain)

I found it interesting on a hike recently, seeing my buddy's 15yr newer pack, how many little features made load carrying far easier. 'Load lifters' in particular, drawing the load forward towards your neck, made such a large difference to shoulder weight that I retrofitted them to my own pack on the trail.

How do you "just Google" how often someone doesn't pay their debts? Credit rating is a data broker, sure - but they're brokering access to private data that shouldn't be accessible by itself, and they're adding validation/verification on top. You can't just Google that.

I also hate leetcode or code challenge kinda interviews. So far I haven't have to take any to get a job and I plan on never taking or doing any. If I see that an interview involves such I will reject it. I can accept a decent take home assignment or technical questions in areas that I will likely encounter on the job.

I'm talking about an economically viable system, not a theoretical one where money doesn't matter.

That's why France is at 75% nuclear and uses hydro and gas to fill in and exports power regularly (at least they did when their nuclear plants were all running).

You can theoretically go 100% wind if you just build enough of it. No one is doing that because there are better, cheaper options by complementing it with other zero carbon options including storage and transmission.

There's still value in gathering the data and running a generic model over them so that the result can be shared with interested parties.

Windows' HiDPI does have some glitches (like the mouse positioning thing), but most apps work seamlessly (including browsers, Electron, and IDEs) or reasonably well (Microsoft Office). Also, Windows supports any scaling level, whereas macOS only supports 100% and 200%, which makes it easier to mask any sort of issues or bugs (pixel-doubling looks less blurry than scaling things up by 125%). Many (most?) 13-15 inch Windows laptops ship with a 1080p screen, which works best with a 150%-125% scale.
People ask me why do soldiers seem to do the opposite - with the bulk of their kit lower down their backs - it’s because if your kit is high up you can’t raise your head to look up when you’re lying down.

I also think it’s strange to have your heavy kit up high even in a civilian context when you aren’t lying down - you don’t put the heaviest things on a top shelf normally. I tend to put my heaviest stuff supported by my hips, either on belt kit or lower down in my daysack or bergen.

>That is an unjustifiably absolute statement.

It's fine to be absolute due to the contents of requests no longer being able to be accessed by extensions. There being less data that can be slurped up is a win.

>For instance, the browser developer

If you are Google you already trust yourself.

>Different people legitimately have different threat models.

The context of this change is to protect people's privacy from malicious extension developers.

>You seem to trust the browser developer

That is beside the point I'm trying to make.

>I trust the ad-blocker extension developer more than the other parties, so of course I want it to have full acess to block evil behavior.

But do you trust that every web extension that will exist will not abuse that full access? I sure don't. This change isn't because of trustworthy / high quality extensions, but because of malicious and slow extensions. By changing the API exposed Google wants to reduce the number of extensions in that second category without breaking the extensions in the first.

Exactly. This post is helpful to beginners, sure.... but after some experience, the problem you describe becomes much more pressing.

I still don't have a good solution other than try to "keep things simple" from the beginning, then as soon as new features are introduced and everything becomes messy, mercilessly refactor the architecture itself to make things "make sense" again. I fully realize that this is not very helpful because what does "make sense" even mean in a code base? But that's the best I can come up with and I don't think there's anything more specific that can be said :(
I thought of doing something like this a while back. Yet another of my 'great ideas' that I never got round to!

While the images are cleverly done, I don't find them at all convincing. People's faces trend to fill out more as they get older and [men anyway] go bald or at least their hair thins.

I don't think Jimi Hendrix or Elvis alive today [to pick just two] would have exactly the same facial structure [Elvis was already fatter and older looking than that when he died!] and exactly the same hair style. How many 70 or 80 year old men do you see with the full head of hair and hairstyle they had in their prime?

Good effort though. I don't want to sound too churlish as the person who did these at least got further than my "Wouldn't it be fun to...?" thought experiment. But one of the reasons I never got round to trying this myself was the thought that it would be a lot more involved than just applying a few wrinkles and turning the hair white

Which as I can't practically turn it off (the linux laptop is owned by $work) is a massive pain.

which leads me to my original statement; "the fuck it does"

Trust is a wonderful thing... in a world where most people are trustworthy.

In a world where the replication crisis is a thing and a third of psychology studies replicate?

In a world where the vast majority of "science" stories published in news sites are grossly misleading or wrong?

It's important to destroy that trust.

Though I do have one problem with this article. It implies the main problem in the reality->public pipeline is the scientists themselves, when it's actually journalists, university PR teams and the general public in that order. (Though blaming the last is in poor taste as they're time poor comparing to the others and have no training in how PR teams and journalists mislead)

I contend that the appeal of Brutalism lies entirely in its name, people are just mesmerized by that word, you hear it dropped much more than any other school of architecture. I don't know how to look at stats on wikipedia, but I'll bet that page gets more attention than its cohort.

Brutalist buildings are generally very unpleasant to visit.
I love the images of the old design. Honestly I feel like the modern form is less friendly. As humans we relax better when having something protecting our back, and the modern layout leave you feeling exposed.

When done right brutalist building are in my mind the most relaxing and comfortable. Sadly it's not something we really build anymore, and certainly not as regular homes.
Towards Grand Unification Theory of AI (Gut-AI)
Concurrently with "JEPA" (https://openreview.net/pdf?id=BZ5a1r-kVsf), I wrote a very similar (pre-print) paper on *Grand Unification Theory of AI (GUT-AI)*, which is a kind of superset of JEPA, if anyone is interested.

I actually made the effort to abstract away complicated mathematics, so that the reader finds it easier to understand, since the quest of AI is a multidisciplinary approach. In my view, I also made better connections to nature (Embedded and Grounded Cognition), among others.

I have published it on OSF and since it as a pre-print, I welcome feedback either there or here. Thanks.

Paper: https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/sjrkh

*PS.* I also made some Github repositories (CC0 1.0 license) expanding the paper and bridging the gap towards practical implementation.

You're being too picky.

Passports - the cost of creating fake passports or removing valid ones to most lawful countries is prohibitive enough and visible enough to watchdog groups that we're not under any serious threat from governments going rogue here anytime soon. It's a decent start. At least a few thousand $ cost to forge security wise - increased the better your security market is watching for it.

Social networks - I mean furthering social verification by having networks of users (probably bootstrapped with their passports, and whatever other verification data - video, fingerprints, documents, etc) vouch for each other as real-world connections. You dont need Facebook etc for that - you build that into your identity system as a second layer which compounds the trust. A network discovering a fake user gets financially penalized for vouching (stake based bounties) so there's incentive to really do what you're asked - verify in person someone you've known for some time.

We don't need to anonymously identify a person. In fact, I'm expecting people will be willingly supplying some ungodly amount of data to prove they're real for the financial incentive alone (securing larger loans based on trust). But we can make the verification functions taking all this data go through smart contracts with zero knowledge proofs that can ensure said data doesn't leak to anyone the user doesn't want to share it with - and the protocol can establish a trust score.

And even if we failed to keep personal data off the internet, regardless of how public your profile is you'll always be able to use those zero knowledge proofs to setup an anonymous avatar with a proof hash that it belongs to (exactly) one existing profile from the set of verified profiles, allowing you to vote with the avatar while the system can still guarantee one-person-one-vote. So - anonymous voting.
Being able to smell P hacking is an art that people have to be trained in and practice...

Or they could just ignore any study with p>0.005 (extra zero avoids a lot of p hacking) and suffer no adverse effects.

The latter is probably a better rule of thumb to give the masses.

The difference is that carbon from millions of years ago was buried deep underground. Digging up and burning fuel increases atmospheric carbon. Cycling atmospheric carbon into fuel and back to the atmosphere is a one for one replacement.

This is true. Another one: burying waste paper (and cutting down new trees) instead of recycling reduces both CO² and probably energy use too.

I think the argument against this is that these are not mutually exclusive alternatives. Reducing fossil fuels does not prevent us from burying biomass.

You're not wrong. To clearly delineate the two possibilities:

1. Hashing client-side in addition to standard server-side handling (Have I Been Pwned passwords disallowed, good hash function, preferably memory-hard, salted, peppered for storage, etc.). In this case client-side hashing adds complexity but doesn't improve the security model at all, so we shouldn't do it. Which is why nobody does it.

2. Hashing client-side instead of standard server-side handling. In this case client-side hashing completely breaks the security model, since the hash is equivalent to a cleartext password, so we shouldn't do it. Besides random websites, this kind of mistake has actually been made at scale. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_hash.

In summary, basic client-side hashing either doesn't improve security or compromises it, and is therefore best avoided.

I think the reason everyone down thread is confused is that it was incredibly unclear that you were adding the whole sequester the net equivalent component.

It's an interesting thought though I'm curious how all the pieces would balance in practice.

Like, What's the cost of digging up the fuel? The cost of sequestering the equivalent. And there's pieces like reducing production reduces how much net sequestration will ever need to be done.

I don't think it's so hyper self evident that no hypothetical future sustainable biofuel has a place. No one's selling you a sham solution here, it's research after all.
