This is also a problem when experts from different fields disagree.

For example, I have no epidemiological credentials, but I am an expert in information/media literacy as well as digital information dissemination and retrieval. So watching many aspects of the US's COVID response was like watching a train wreck. But in a lot of places, disagreeing with the/a government response meant you were a scientifically illiterate rightoid(TM) anti-vaxxer.

"I respect epidemiologists but most of them are terrible science communicators and our institutions are making tactical and strategic errors because our current information system is not suited to what they're doing," wasn't really seen as a viable opinion. The Overton Window did not allow it. That's less than ideal.

Hi everyone, cofounder of play.ht (the startup behind this podcast) here. let me know if you have any questions.

To give more context, the podcast was totally AI generated, the content itself was generated from a finetuned GPT3 on SteveJobs' biography, the voices were cloned from few hours of both Joe and Steve voices, even though it was tough to get good content for Steve Jobs. And the podcast artwork was generated by SD.

We will be releasing more episodes soon which will be even more mind-blowing!

>The way most people use E-Bikes is as an unlicensed motorbike

Not just food delivery, but even allegedly recreational users abuse them. In the urban area where I live there is a network of paved trails that are well-used by walkers, runners, and cyclists (dozens of paved miles with some bridges or underpasses to ease crossing major streets). Even though motorized vehicles are prohibited, I'm told by the former director of the regional park district that e-bike users are able to flaunt the law because of ADA (disabled) access rules, apparently they can pretend their e-bike is just like a motorized wheelchair or scooter for a disabled person.

They often zip by pedestrians from behind, squeezing through two-way traffic, never ringing a bell when passing, at relatively high speeds. I strongly believe they should have to display a license plate and be insured, and wear a helmet too. I've also considered how I might be able to carry some kind of stick or rod projecting out to my left as I walk on the right, so that they have to give me a few feet of clearance to avoid hitting it.
It depends what you want to use the geothermal heat for. In Norway, in the winter, a lot of the energy use is going to be heating. Geothermal heating systems are quite common in northern and don’t require lossy conversion
That benchmark seems to be comparing igzip with gzip -1, since the reported gzip output size is 42298786 bytes and not 36548933 bytes (from the earlier benchmarks). My own experience based mostly on FASTQ/text data is that igzip -3 gives results very similar to gzip -3.

I'd say it is highly unethical. Imagine thousands of people listening to fake podcasts as if they were real. Not only are they being lied to, but if they find out many are sure to become very angry on learning they wasted their time.

Fortunately, it's not there yet, since it's obviously fake.

It's anecdotal, but I've definitely had rich friends get high in the open. Even when not homeless, there are a lot of reasons to hide an addiction from the people in your home and instead seek out locations where you can get high.
Hmm according to this https://www.hybridairvehicles.com/our-aircraft/faq/ the max speed is 130kph, distance from valencia to palma is about 270km so its about 2 hour flight. Its 7:40 by ferry and 55m by plane... So this seems like a very good route for this type of aircraft.

I’d like to throw in lz4 compression as a ridiculously fast, low CPU alternative while still providing acceptable ratios for the presented use-case.

Maybe obvious for many but still worth mentioning is that on Unix-like systems any external compression can be used by piping to stdout, no need to rely on built-in support. Especially relevant with BSD tar implementations. Example:

tar cfv - /path/to/files | lz4 > output.tar.lz4

AFAICT it doesn't simplify javac much, if at all. It still needs to synthesize closure objects with fields to store the closed-over values. It's just that those fields can be final.

I think Java did this to avoid programmer confusion. I think it was the right choice.

What cases? Do you just mean due to continuous snapshots protecting against accidental deletes or such, or are there more "under the covers" things it fixes?
Not sure if you meant "million hours" as hyperbole; but that'd be about 114 years of non-stop conversation.

If there's ~2000 episodes of his podcast and he's talked in a bunch of other place too, it's probably less than 5000 hours.

I've flown between Tenerife and La Gomera and El Hiero a few times - I was curious if they did the inter island flights, which I don't think they do.

> it's a business model to be anti-science

No. The business model is to feed people information, that if believed, will allow for wealth and power extraction from the believers.

Eg, if climate change is accepted by the masses, all sorts of corporate friendly legislation will be/is being enacted, with Al Gore et al ready to benefit, and with loss of freedom and money for the individual. And at the cost of the environment they are purporting to save. (Electric cars anyone?)

Control of the narrative is powerful stuff, that plays to people's embarrassment at their apparent ignorance in the face of 'expert' opinion. Where we should just remember experts are invested via education, work, status in their expertise and that what they say may have little to do with the truth. Especially when it conflicts with the golden source, personal or anecdotal experience.

And it has always been that way, even for long running narratives.
Thank you for the citation. I don’t remember if the source was cited or if it was shared as received wisdom.

Ps ripped off is quite harsh. Much of what I learned as a doctoral student was the biases absorbed and transmitted by my advisor, it was only specific academic contributions that he claimed as original.
I think the reason Jobs sounds weird is because it seems like the AI was trained on his public presentations, like maybe the iPhone introduction and his AllThingsD interview with Kara Swisher and Bill Gates - there's a noticeable amount of reverb baked in, he projects a bit more, sounds a bit more prepared - it's not how he'd speak in a 1-on-1 conversation without an audience. I would love to hear a version trained on his more intimate, 1-on-1 interviews, which he's done plenty of.

Generally agree. There seems to be the kernel of some really cool tech here, and I think the non-abusive applications may be obvious only in hindsight.

It sounds good on a first glance, but then the topic switches are totally absurd.

Like Steve talking about LSD all of a sudden, then Joe Rogan asks about Newton (which Jobs didn’t make) and Steve starts talking about… product and iteration?

It sounds like someone is superficially trying to act like Jobs would act, which … it kind of is!

Well, I said in my edit and some other comments I was going to sleep, but I decided to check here again for some reason... and here we are.

So I guess I will point out that (I am pretty sure) I never said it increased drug use. I said that it turned the neighborhoods that held these places into drug slums because of the increase in drug users that were now in those areas because of the needle exchange. To be fair to you though, that was elaborated on more so in another comment to another person.

And it is on that bit that I will not budge, because that is personal experience I have witnessed and secondary experience I have been told about by people I trust to not just make things up. It may not be the 'data' you want to see or hear, but it should matter just as much since what we see on a day to day is what influences us as a society.

So I think it's great that some of them are taking the chance provided to them to get clean. I love that. But again, I never said it increased drug use. I said it increased the number of drug users in the area. This is a glaringly different statement.

Now, I am actually off to bed now, and my computer is being turned off. You have a nice day/night. Thank you for the information.

I started getting heart palpitations when I had a drink, so I knocked it on the head. It was already barely worth the headache, it certainly wasn't worth feeling like rubbish during too.

You're right. 99.99% of users don't use the internet. They're just web consumers. As for hosting for people that actually use the internet, when you use a third party you have no expectation of privacy. Hosting from your own machines from your own home is always the best, easiest, cheapest, option.

That said, hosting from home and syndicating to a VPS is a great idea.
Why Polio Is Making a Comeback in the US
Most user interactions with window decorations need to be handled server-side. Server side also makes sense because the compositor and the DE are basically the same under Wayland, so things like themes should be implemented once server-side and applications wouldn't have to do anything to change their frame to match.
Huh. Now the closure-capturing in Go makes even less to me: instead of capturing the variable's current value it captures the variable itself i.e. puts &x into the closure instead of x — and no other piece of Go does that, although I was sure "go fun(args)" passed args by-ref but apparently not.

What's even the point of capturing the variable itself? To allow for writing inline callbacks that could sneakily mutate loop-local variables?

"time tar cvzf local-revert.tgz local"

This would not negate the point but possibly make the delta even larger, but you have to be careful when benchmarking tar with the "v" flag. The time to print ~400,000 lines out to the terminal can be nontrivial! It may even be the majority of the time for the pure tar case.

Like I said, this won't negate the point but amplify it; subtract an approximately constant time from both times and the multiplicative delta between them will grow.

(Some modern shells that focus on handling lots of text very quickly may be less impacted than some older-style shells.)

In the interests of not making another tiny post, I also endorse the use of parallel compression for the benchmark too, which will close the gap somewhat. You also want to consider the overall use case and the overall bandwidth you have to the final destination. If I were trying to upload something over my home network connection to some remote source, I can afford almost any parallel compression scheme there is because it's a pure win if I can end up sending fewer bytes. Compression is better-than-free in that case. On the flip side, if you don't care about disk usage it's hard to do very much compression at NVMe SSD speeds. (There are some things that may be able to do it, but you won't get much.)

My parents used to drink all the time. So I grew up thinking that drinking alcohol was what normal people did. The quantity of drinking depicted on Mad Men was about the right amount for their generation.

I also hung out with people who drank a lot. There's a saying "birds of a feather flock together". Hanging out with drinkers meant that drinking was the social norm. I really only noticed this after getting run over by a car - I had turned into a miserable person who even I didn't want to be around (additionally, many of my social group were not all that fun to be around when both of us were sober). When I stopped hanging around drinkers, I found it easier to cut way down on alcohol consumption. I also didn't realize just how expensive it is until I cut down.

Then I got gall stones and had to have my gall bladder removed. Something else went wrong with/from the surgery and my pancreas got badly infected. This resulted in me having to make massive changes in what I ate, how I ate and when I ate. Completely discontinuing alcohol was one of those changes. No more bacon cheeseburgers was another change. A person with a working gallbladder is capable of eating lots of garbage, but without one, I have to be more picky than a stereotypical vegan (or pick whatever stereotype you want to mock and dial it up to at least 9¾). Some types of fat (like margarine) will have me stuck to the toilet. I hate it. I miss bacon cheeseburgers. And potato chips. I never realized just how many pizzerias use fake cheese (made from vegetable oil), and now I can hardly eat any pizzas. I hate it.

Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the risk factors for getting gall stones. Others include: overweight, too much fatty foods, being female, being sedentary or over 40.

> the foggy head feeling

I grew up thinking this was the entire point of drinking alcohol. Or smoking pot. Or opiates. My sister refuses to take pain killers because she hates the blurry thinking and foggy head feeling.

> I have a hard time saying no to a drink if everyone else is having a drink

This means that you need to change who you socialize with. I'm sorry - there's no way around this. You cannot associate with "users" and stay sober. This also took me a very long time to realize. Humans are social animals. If everyone you associate picks their nose - you will start to pick your nose. It is called "mirroring". It is a bug in the wetware.

Alternative: instead of ordering at the table like others, go up to the bar and order something non-alcoholic. In America, such drinks usually get "virgin" prepended to the name. Or instead of a "rum & coke", just a coke with a wedge of lime. Expensive, but then you're renting space at the bar/restaurant. They need to survive as well.

> how to get out of just hating yourself when you fail

Take each day as it comes. Don't hammer yourself when you stumble and fall. I used to mock AA members - that was wrong of me. It took me a very long time to realize that many of the 12 steps are important and do work.
Anything that happens to the environment can absolutely be good for some species and ecosystems including the entire planet turning into a giant ocean, in that case for the fish. So it's bizarre to somehow surgically remove humans from the discussion and have a twisted conversation about balance and sustainability as if those things are absolute.
> wasted their time

That’s the best case scenario. It gets a lot worse than that.

I saw a (scam) video on YouTube that had Elon Musk saying “if you want to make money in crypto, the best way is doing xxx, for example using the website yyy.com”.

I had to do a spit take because it was very convincing for a layman. Both the audio/video were deepfaked, but you couldn’t really tell other than the fact that it was uploaded in 240p.

If my mother had seen that, I’m sure she would have believed it since it’s something Elon would plausibly say. We’re entering a scary time.
Not surprising, in this environment you either have much more money or much less depending on which side of the wage gap you are on as inequality keeps growing, and yet nobody would buy a new computer that doesn't function better than the old ones.

That's what Apple did right with the M1 and M2 and the demand for them keeps growing. All the PC industry have is overheating components and Windows 11 with it's terrible user experience. Intel and AMD are battling over benchmarks with their 300W TDP processors when all the market wants is battery life. They completely lost the plot.
