People think things that range from typical to highly atypical. The more typical your thought patterns, the higher the probability that others can infer your thinking. This leads to more successful social interactions because people will infer your thinking incorrectly less often.

This is one significant reason why the neurodivergent (e.g., autism spectrum) often have social interaction issues. Highly intelligent people also have out of the box thinking that is hard to predict, but they often have increased capacity to infer the thinking of others and adjust accordingly (if they want).

> Mueller didn't press charges

Fun fact: Mueller had no ability to press charges. He made it clear that it was up to Congress, and would only go as far as to say that "we can't say he didn't obstruct justice", but that it was up to Congress to investigate.

I don't understand your argument tbh. Europe is roughly the same size as the US and is about twice as dense. The density means that power demand is significantly higher and you need more frequent generators. The increased sparsity and climate variation of the US makes it more difficult to build a grid all together. But both the US and EU have interconnected grids so I'm not sure what you're saying here.

No one was arguing against interconnected grids. I was arguing that you don't want to generate power in California and use that power in Maine. Maybe that's the issue? While this is possible, you not only are losing a lot of power in transit, Maine would be at serious risk for power outages. Both distance and climate variation play a role here as both these factors make it easier for a grid to go down. Let's say there is a 1% chance of outage per 100 miles of grid. Well you got about 2500 miles to cross.

Also, the US is federated. I'm not sure if the politics make it any easier than in Europe. In our example Maine is beholden to at least 10 states. If something happens you know those states are demanding they get power first. The federal government (president) isn't just a dictator who can make the states act uniformly and in the best interest of the country as a whole. It's really best to think of the US as somewhere between a country and the EU itself. It was set up to be more like the EU in the first place but power has consolidated over time.

My thoughts are that the facts don't matter. Even in the real world, people hold beliefs that are largely irrelevant to the facts. For stuff like being drunk or having dreams, your memory of them tends to be even worse rest in other scenarios. It's hard to form a solid belief around something so unclear. It's much easier to form a belief around a clearly remembered falsehood. I find it similar to how friendships are formed - it's less about what you have in common and more about shared context. Clear memory of that context is a prerequisite.
A publication having a political bias doesn't correlate to every product of that publication being one which broadly represents its political association.

Nor can you in good faith generalize the ideas of a single person to be representative of all members of the political party that individual claims to be a part of.
Not quite the same....

There isn't a state licensing requirement to be a software developer. Any person off the street can start writing software tomorrow and call themselves a developer. There are a good number of jobs where someone needs to know a lot about the law, has taken courses or read a lot about it, makes decisions on legal matters on a day to day basis, but cannot call themselves a lawyer. A couple examples include anyone who works on mergers and acquisitions or distressed debt investing.

It's similar to "im not a financial advisor" or "this isn't financial advice". It can be from someone who knows an awful lot about the topic.
I think it's supposed to explain that because the hardworking and underpaid are better off than cavemen, they will also obviously continue to be better off than cavemen, so all problems are therefore tractable, and also currently being solved. Also, that if you live better than a caveman you should show some gratitude and stop complaining. Something something Steven Pinker Dr. Pangloss.

Who pays the legal fees in this case?
Java was originally planned as a “wolf in sheep clothes”, bringing the best ideas of lisp and smalltalk (GC, memory safety, dynamic linking), and selling it to C++ devs. While these were not new per se, they were new to “the average developer”. And I would even go as far to claim that GC is perhaps the biggest productivity/safety boost our industry has seen, single handedly.

And they continue to introduce new ML features in the form of pattern matching, ADT, etc.

I think sometimes these languages get unfairly evaluated.
Good point sharemywin!

I use cryptocurrency, however I don't remember ever working on, particiapting in, or endorsing Celcius.

Celcius is not decentralized, it is not a community led-project, it is not free/open source software.

So who is "they"? It's obvious to me that the type of person who endorses something like celcius just sees cryptocurrency as a free money machine, and does not actually have real princples regarding decentralization and whatnot.

Cryptocurrency can be strong against censorship etc. But it is clearly not sufficient in itself for censorship resistance etc (e.g. what value is being secured? from who? how?) It is analagous to saying that encryption is good for security but the presence of encryption is not sufficient for security (e.g. what data is being secured? from who? how?).

The fact that celcius can steal your deposit despite the fact that cryptocurrency is involved is analagous to the fact that GMail can read your emails despite the fact that HTTPS is involved.

Good on your manager. Beliefs of personal infallibility are vastly overrated.

Sure, some things come in pairs. Some requirements are immutable and obvious. That's not the interesting part of a design, and if that's all it lists, then yes, you can probably skip writing a ton of detail. (Although current and future team mates are usually appreciative of knowing how something was designed, instead of just having to read the code - it makes it easier to distinguish mistake from intent)

But the meat of a design is in the trade-offs you made, in the choices that could reasonably go several ways. And no, for any reasonably complex system, you can't hold all of those in your head. And worse, if it's a trade-off, your weights may be wrong - your work is part of a larger effort, and you might miss constraints that seem "outside your area" but play into it.
Yeah, this is interesting, and it's close to my experience. Just by working through the questions in the official SAT practice booklet a couple weeks prior to the test (which I think was "free" upon signing up), and learning a couple lessons from my first sitting (set a faster pace and guess rather than leaving questions blank), I probably raised my score by 300 points into the 1400+ band on my second sitting. An instructor could easily teach those lessons in a single prep session that starts with a short mock test.

The hard-core, months-long, daily prep courses for super-high-achievers seem like extreme overkill. The kids who need that are probably the ones in the 700-900 range, who need to learn a baseline level of math and English for the first time (of course, if that were possible, it would have already happened in school).
I thought it was interesting thatcomputer vs computer chess is largely just ties. In order to make them more interesting tournaments usually start the computers with some pieces already moved to force them into unusual positions

Exactly. If your car company cannot be profitable with airbags, then you shouldn't be in the car business (to use an analogy).
Very fun thing that can happen on heavy doses of hallucinogens: seeing your thoughts visually. His experience of seeings geometric patterns that shift depending on what/how you're thinking is what I've seen too. It's like putting every thought in a multidimensional space that includes color, and going around it while thinking. Similar thoughts or thought threads look similar in color, shape and texture, while jumping from one thought to another can be almost strobe-like. Going deep into a thought can make it materialize from the weird neon geometry mash to something resembling hyperrealism.

I didn't find it a very spiritual experience actually. It was like playing with the visual part of the brain and seeing what the hardwired stuff is, felt very physical. The Dreamachine seems similar in that regard.

Another weird parallel: when AIs create those pictures of stuff that looks like something but under further analysis is just random parts of different things it's similar to the hyperrealistic bits' texture.
To be fair, a big part of the movement is simply about decriminalizing, which is different than legalizing (at least as is implied in this discussion).

Yes, I know that. It doesn't really impact that people enjoying watching a script read by Bruce Willis's voice and likeness will be commercially viable for a limited time. He's a fun actor, but all actors eventually stop being a good fit for the era.

Old cowboy films are fun to watch from a historical perspective, but I sure don't care whether a modern film has a likeness and voice of John Wayne, that's just not much of a selling point anymore. I can see it buying you an extra 20 years maybe, but actors just sort of disappear from the limelight all the time and people don't even notice.

What kind of team work between a human and a machine would result in interesting chess? I hope it would reduce the need to study openings.

Something simple to begin with: let computers play the odd moves and humans the even moves, without any communication. This way, the computer would need to play in a way that would make sense to their team mate.

Nah. Just make providing free services then blatantly fucking people over who rely on them a very risky thing to do. Like "attractive nuisance" laws that can make you liable if some kid you've never seen before drowns in a pool on your property if you didn't take reasonable measures to keep a kid from wandering into the pool. Or various regulations that make certain demands on businesses that open up physical spaces to the public (like stores or malls or whatever).

Separately I'd also like to see us outlaw the kind of data collection & retention that lets Facebook's business model exist, but I do think making it so offering free services doesn't absolve you of all responsibility is something we should do, too, and is more directly relevant to this.

Not really, unless you're the kind of guy working in Cobol and who is used to typing with latency.

Opening of TFA:

"My company could have wiped those drives and sold them on. Such a waste!"

Later in TFA:

"Morgan Stanley was fined because a company didn't, in fact, wipe the drives before selling them."

Those two sentences could have saved paragraphs of electrons, IMO. Sure, it seems like a waste until some chucklehead company decides to add a little more profit on that contract by assuming no one will ever find out if the drives skip the "wipe" step.
You don't think normal people can understand: "Rate this candidate from 0 to 5 stars?" If so, we really need to rethink a lot of how we ask for people's opinions, because this is probably the most common way.

> Splunk is the best at what it does with no close competition.

I'm with you. Splunk core - the indexing, automatic parsing, HA architecture, is unsurpassed. You can rebuild/duplicate parts of it but it's not going to come close to what Splunk can do, effortlessly, out of the box. I'm frustrated at the crud that Splunk has acquired which doesn't solve their customer's core problems. Splunk isn't well-rep in the network space. In my past I've worked for a huge tech company that was the darling of its day and Splunk business trajectory reminds me of that; we're within the start of the descent.

I read through the complaints in this thread, how it's slow, behemoth, hard to manage, copmlexities grow ... I've never experienced this problem. I've built and managed 3 Splunk clustered installations, in the 10sTB/day, and I will never use anything else. Sadly, that makes me only able to work for people able to afford the license :nervous laugh: So if you're made of money and want black car white glove data service, buy Splunk and hire people like me.

TCEC, probably the most prominent long-form chess engine tournament, does exactly that. It starts them in a pre-played opening position, usually ~10 moves or so into the game. There are still a lot of ties, but fewer than if you let them play from neutral.

Each engine plays both sides of the position (white and black) so it's always a bit of a cool upset when an engine wins both the white and black side of the same starting position.

This confused me at first, the original Doom was a 8-bit game graphically - it used standard 320x200 VGA with 256 colors - but it ran on a 32-bit processor, unlike the PICO which is 8-bit.
In the context of this comment thread:

False positives = someone wrongly accused of a crime by the police.

After the accusation follows a trial (this is the judicial system) where the wrongly accused can prove that they in fact did not commit the crime.

Thus judicial system is setup to deal with the false positives.
Yeah, even if you're willing to defend your competitor you will still need to screen your documents to see which needs to be sealed and which documents that are under an NDA with an unrelated party that can be excluded. An hour is definitely too short for this, even if you have 100 lawyers (because the bottleneck is you and your knowledgeable employees and your lawyers won't likely to know the breadth of third-party secrets).

On the other hand, you won't be compensated (fully) after this. You may be able to recover your attorneys' fees in some cases but your transportation costs won't (it'll be only a token fee set by court).
Financing requires seizable assets, which means it's unimplementable using blackchain-based digital assets and smart contracts.
> and my personal experience is that Android developers like and prefer Kotlin

That is because the other option is a deliberately crippled Java from a decade ago. Also, while apps are indeed mostly written in Kotlin for android, I am fairly sure most of Google’s listed apps have a Java shared library that does the core of the functionality that is shared between backend, android, web frontend (j2cl) and ios (j2objc).

Also, don’t forget that android development is a niche, on the web backend side Java is just an incomparable bigger player.
There still is a system to institutionalize people that haven't been breaking any laws, but it's very short-term. If you're interested in checking it out, a failed suicide attempt can give you a peek into it. They are unlikely to keep you for very long, though.

The long-term system was largely shut down in the 80s, because of the aforementioned abuses. The bar to get someone thrown in the loonie bin was very low, and once you're there, good luck proving that you're sane, or that you're being abused and mistreated.

DreamFusion doesn't directly build a 3D model from those generated images.
It starts with a completely random 3D voxel model, renders it from 6 different angles, then asks Stable Diffusion how plausible an image of "X, side view" it is.

It then sprinkles some noise on the rendering, makes Stable Diffusion improve it a little, then adjusts the voxels to produce that image (using differentiable rendering.)

Rinse and repeat for hours.
There probably is, but as I understand, there are some Supreme Court rulings from 1970s to 1990s that make it very costly and/or require a high bar of proof that accused is a threat to themself or others.

The workaround to the very high costs of working within these rulings was imprisoning people for drug or other non violent offenses, which was much cheaper and easier.
Yes, that's why this dad (probably) forced his kid to become an Eagle Scout. But it is not evidence that being an Eagle Scout is an accomplishment. Because it's really not. It's the ultimate box checking exercise. No individual step is something that a kid with a room temperature IQ couldn't do. It's simply sustaining a modest amount of effort for ~8 years.

If a kid does that of their own volition then it's evidence of something.

If a kid does it because their parents made them do it in order to put it on their college application then it's meaningless.
