It seems you're having trouble understanding my comment.

My [Citation needed] was for your assertion that "many" are making that claim.
I emphasized the difference between the two claims. Your version of the claim is that it's impossible to relate to characters of different demographics. The non-strawman version of the claim is that the how and when demographics are represented impacts people's perception of those demographics. If you want me to cite people claiming the above, I can. If you want me to cite evidence for the claim, I can also do that.

>You specifically used the words "available to." I've never looked at the world in terms of what is or isn't available to me. Not when it comes to how I choose to live my life. Maybe it's because I grew up in an era where we taught kids that they were capable of anything they put their mind to. I actually believed it. And I certainly never considered that I couldn't do something because of my race or gender. If I had then I wouldn't do so much cooking in my household.

For someone complaining about people not imaging themselves in the shoes of others, you're sure slow to imagine yourself in the shoes of others. Read some of the comments in this thread, and you'll find plenty of examples of people who never considered that they could do something, because of their race or gender. At least, until they saw examples of positive representation in media.

Have you considered that the reason other people had difficulty imagining themselves doing something when you didn't may be because of the different messages you received growing up rather than them being prejudical?

>it is still a personal choice to see the world that way

This isn't as relevant to my point, but I would absolutely argue this isn't true. If societal systems exist (as you seem to admit) that discriminate based on race and gender, is it a personal failing when those systems make you aware of your race and gender? Have you considered that the reason you are less aware of your race and gender than others may be due to the fact that your race and gender has had less impact on you than others' has on them?
Is it really a shock that an institution designed largely by Stalin (although FDR's idea) isn't fit for purpose? Time to hit restart, and perhaps not to include the autocracies and miscreants.

> one set of rules for the poor, another set of rules for the masses

Presumably by "the masses" you meant "the large corporations"?

Usually, "the masses" means "the common people" ... i.e. not much different from "the poor."

If you meant corporations, I'm 100% behind this comment.
They’re very robust sites, since they were all nuclear hardened. I remember one near me which was fed with underground coax that ran through my town to an underground facility about 10-20 mikes away. It was always a point of curiosity since the underground lines were prominently marked with grave warnings for anyone approaching it with a backhoe. I imagine it probably carried AUTOVON traffic.
I'd say these examples would partially prove their point, the first being defunct since 1962, and the second having been acquired by AMD (an American company) for over 15 years. For Yoshua, well this excerpt from Wikipedia may be useful here:

"In October 2016, Bengio co-founded Element AI, a Montreal-based artificial intelligence incubator that turns AI research into real-world business applications. Having failed to develop marketable products and losing several partnerships, by 2020 the company was running out of money and options and announced its sale to American software company ServiceNow in November. The sale will see largely Canadian taxpayer funded intellectual property exported to the United States, contrary to Bengio's desire to found Element AI as a Canadian company to rival the world's tech giants. Bengio will stay employed as an advisor while the vast majority of employees were terminated with their stock options voided and cancelled with no value in lieu provided."
$75 was a lot of money to me when I was 17, and it still is.

The eggs could have been marinaded in salmonella but if you cooked them (which you did?) they'd be sterile and safe afterwards. So maybe a coincidence or something.
I’d invite you to take a look at the multitude of scientific results on cognitive impairment after infection and the numerous physiological mechanisms which are known to be at play. A number of them pop up here on Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=7%2C39&q=cov...

Note that this is the only data which has been provided in this discussion as far as I can see right now. What made the commenter’s solid point a solid point? Was there data?
"How do you figure that injury to the physiology that performs cognition has a trivial impact compared to not showing up to school for some time?"

There are plenty of pre-pandemic studies about truancy and poor curricula leading to lower test scores. It's practically a tautology that if you aren't going to school and studying for the tests that you will score poorly on those tests (the measure here). Could there be some trivial (in aggregate) physiological impact at play? Maybe, but that's not the biggest factor based on this established research.

"I may never know because society will not look."

It's not that society won't look, but rather that minor issues are deprioritzed. If you have a new disease, there are likely to be tens of thousands unanswered questions around it. It will take decades to get to most of the questions. Some may never be answered or explained. It's unlikely anyone cares enough about an individual with digestive issues (or recurring intermittent swelling after vaccination) to do a study looking at it. If it's sufficiently rare, they may not be able to even identify it as an issue worth looking into.
Linking a google scholar query with results does not imply a broad base of valid evidence. It just means people went looking and published.

The top three, which are the only ones I bothered to skim, have quality problems.

The third one seems to be the most cited so I spent the most time with it. It in effect reduces to “if you were hospitalized with COVID” you now have significant cognitive impairments, but from my brief reading there is no “before” so it could just as easily be titled “cognitively impaired people make bad life choices that lead to pre-existing conditions that lead to (exposure to and) hospitalization with COVID.”

Additionally the sample of N at 84k is misleading as only roughly 200 people are in their “significantly impaired” set.

It was a quick read, as I said, and I may have oversimplified, so if I’m wrong, please feel free to respond with corrections.
Maybe someday e-ink will be sufficiently popular for people to demand UIs that work well with it.

The day that happens, I'll figure out how to trick apps into thinking they are running on such a display.

I had to trash a quad 22 setup, KT66 valves. It was submerged for a week in the recent Queensland floods but in truth, the wax potting and wiring was a mess this last decade or more. it was looking like my grandfathers axe to repair and 10x my budget. Still hurting about tossing it all.
> > Wouldn't you expect higher-order code to be easier to optimise, since it comes closer to telling the compiler what you want to do, so that the compiler can figure it out, rather than forcing the compiler to divine the big-picture intention of a bunch of low-level instructions?

> Optimization is an NP-hard problem. What compiler backends do these days is mostly to pattern match known optimizable code blocks. Some of the other optimizations are an approximation of the actual solution. The order of optimization type being made also affects the result.

Right, and that's what I meant—although I certainly see why it sounded like I was referring to some infallible and perfect optimisation process.

To be precise—and sticking with the theme of iterators from my parent, though there's nothing particularly special except that it's a familiar pattern—if there's one high-level iterator construct, isn't it more likely that the average programmer will write each invocation of an iterator in the way that the compiler expects; whereas, if each user has to roll their own iterator, then different average programmers will roll different iterators, and it's more likely that a programmer will write something so baroque that the compiler doesn't realise it can apply a known optimisation?
Not really. Every other vaccine has been tested to determine how it impacts transmission. Except this one. So yes, it's different.

Historically college applications have gone up during recessions as the opportunity cost of college drops due to worse job prospects (https://www.communitycollegereview.com/blog/why-student-enro...). With that said, significant changes in average scores are much more likely to be related to changes like who is taking the test, and massive shocks like the shutdowns during COVID that had a major impact on teaching and student outcomes across all age groups (https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/sep/01/math-readi...).
> If that's the case, then the landlords could save the money they're spending on YieldStar and just set the high prices already. They could use their own proprietary "I want more money" algorithm, and the tenant would have no choice but to pay whatever number the landlord popped out of their head.

Now you're getting it.

They could do this, but if their number is higher than other owner numbers in their area, they lose.

If it's the same as other numbers in their area, they win.

So they need something to coordinate those numbers. A 3rd party, for example.

And thus we arrive at why people call it collusion via a 3rd party.
I don't think straight hashing is enough.

Suppose the internal RNG is just AES in counter mode(Assume somehow they can persist state internally) They then know the full list of numbers it will ever make.

They also know the full list of hashed numbers it will ever make, if they know the hashed block size, which they do if they know what software you are using.

Now when you make a private key they just try all trillion possible offsets into the list of numbers it could likely be, hash those 32 bytes or whatever the block size is, and see if that's your key.

In West we have a superior system where the interests of elites naturally align, so there is less need of forceful control. The effect however is exactly the same. Msm always just toots the elite aporoved narrative. There's not even a pretense of and disagreement in any meaningful subject.

It's a basic tactic of "keep kicking the dog until it finally bites you, which is a perfect excuse to shoot it dead".

But a typical western msm watcher is too distracted and dumb to notice as it is being used over and over again in different situations.
Yeah, it's not my personal opinion, but this seemed to be the reason given publicly by various universities.

The thread from last week showing that "Asian" kids' SAT scores crushed "White" kids' scores in Michigan was pretty eye-opening alongside the current Supreme Court cases regarding admissions and Asians.

One of my favorite opinion pieces about the SAT, from a few years ago, came from a black guy who grew up in rural Mississippi or somewhere like that. He argued that the SAT was the only thing that gave him a level playing field, where he could prove his equivalence, in college admissions against kids from elite private schools and wealthy public school districts. His position made sense to me.
So for a few billion users, you need tens of thousands of moderators, assuming that ratio holds?
Well said, over all.

I very much disagree, though, about what you said about mutexes and channels. Channels are by far the most idiomatic way to transfer data in a concurrent model. Timeouts, worker patterns, and program architecture are much much more idiomatic and less error-prone when using channels.

Mutexes can be used properly, but it's rare that there's a situation where using a mutex would be better than using a channel. When I was first learning Go in 2017, I had to emerge from the shell of using mutexes that I had entered after working in other languages. After switching to predominantly channel-based communication, I found that my architecture became much less error-prone, and that things just worked. Prior to that, I would spend tons of time trying to figure out the exact situation that had put me in a deadlock, where several goroutines were waiting for a mutex to be unlocked that never was, or where a goroutine was trying to unlock an already unlocked mutex.
I'm a bit confused by this and the posts above. In vscode it is possible to configure it such that on every save a new pdf is generated. You can open the PDF to the right and it's essentially instant preview.

I've used this config when writing papers, etc, and it works flawlessly.

As for diffs (what has changed), it is also possible to color code the changes too.

I can't recall how I configured viscose, but it was a fairly standard approach.

Please don’t use plagiarism as an argument for keeping copyright. They are not related. Plagiarism is already illegal or disallowed for obvious reasons, but copyright is a different matter.

Find clients first and listen to what they're really trying to accomplish. If a solo founder builds something they assume people want on their own, it maybe wasted effort. Always reduce risk by selling a promise of bit more than you currently have that you can deliver on. Being a solo founder is especially risky because there's no other person to bounce ideas off of and to keep each other ground in reality.

The hard way of selling: I didn't realize it, but there was value in unsolicited selling things people didn't necessarily want like Boy Scouts selling magazines or candy bars door-to-door. It's building comfort of rejection that's important.

I think that the argument being made by some artists is that the training process itself violates copyright just by using the training data.

That’s quite different from arguing that the output violates copyright, which is what the tweet in this case was about.

No it doesn't. Just about everything jQuery does is now a browser API these days, so you no longer save time using jQuery vs vanilla JS.

The only argument for continuing to use it is that you're used to it and not used to the modern APIs that have absorbed jQuery's functionality. It's just a slower way of doing the same thing.

> I am talking about an effect.

The effect is not present in countries that did not close schools. The effect strongly correlates with the level of disruption to schools and schooling caused by policy choices. The effect does not correlate with infection levels among that cohort of the population.

There is a strong political desire for politicians who enacted these disastrous policies to avoid blame for them, one strategy is to frame all the policy choices as unavoidable, i.e. claiming that you "had to close schools". Another political strategy is to blameshift all the bad effects onto the virus itself, which is exactly what you're doing.

Your post is a prime example of "JAQing off"; you are "just asking questions", saying things like "shouldn't we study this?", or "there are no studies showing it's because of <insert obvious explanation here>".
It's funny to say id's fast inverse square root. Conway certainly didn't come up with the algorithm or the magic number.

At any rate piracy is rampant so clearly a large body of people don't think even a direct copies is morally wrong. Let alone something similar.

You're acting as though there are constant won and lost cases over plagiarism. Ed Sheeran seems to defend his work weekly. Every case that goes to court means reasonable minds differ on the interpretation of plagiarism legally.

So what's your point?

Because it seems the main thrust of your argument is I should argue with Microsoft instead (*who own GitHub lol*)? That's all you got to hold back the tide of AI? An appeal to authority?
I realize I'm biased, but considering the amount of extremely obscure people on Wikipedia it didn't seem like that much of a stretch.

I look at it this way: if I'm driving down the highway and see a giant bronze monument and I go to ask wikipedia about the artist, I'd just expect to find that information (regardless of how obscure they are).

Just some quick examples:

Texas A&M campus, there's a statue there honoring the lives lost in the bonfire collapse, wikipedia has no idea who the artist is.

A statue of Michael E. Debakey outside the DeBakey Museum and Library at Baylor College of Medicine... Wikipedia has no idea who the artist is.

A 27ft tall monument in the middle of Colorado Springs that millions of people pass a year, Wikipedia has no idea who the artist is.

A 22ft tall, 200ft monument outside NRG Park where the Houston Texans play, wikipedia has no idea who the artist is.

To me its more a case of "general information" I'd want to learn vs "oh this person is famous enough" to learn about.
