Because if you read past the first and third graphs, which do more-or-less support your position in terms of how they answered "how attractive would you say this person is?", and look into the "how likely was it that you took action to communicate with them?", the selectivity flips quite hard into something that many of us would probably guess: "women's looks matter more to men than men's do to women".

Or perhaps this one, which used eHarmony data: https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/news/new-study-reveals-...

Is what people say when surveyed or what they do when free to act more relevant in dating? I think it's the latter.
Is dogfighting relevant in todays world of NLOS missiles?
YES! His premises are wrong, but his conclusions are spot on. I really hope regulators learn to think like that.
But they have a very small footprint, which makes them hard for radars and automated targeting systems.

And I doubt jets and helis can effectively eliminate hundreds of drones in a timely manner.
Government is separate from the overwhelming majority of people, because the overwhelming majority of people have no practical influence over the government.

Power concentrates to a few. Sometimes very few, as in North Korea. Sometimes a slightly broader few, as in America. But it's always a few. The rest are acted upon by government.

Also it's pretty jokey to say that government is people delegating power. The only reason it needs to be delegated is because it was seized in the first place - by government!
An ageing population and a pensioner class that vote solely for their interests are definitely problems. Notice that pensioners were, once again, the only group protected in the recent statement. They don’t even seem to be aware/grateful for this.

We could avoided a lot of the economic cost of Covid by asking the over-65s to shield and kept the wider economy more or less going, but that was unacceptable to them and instead we shut down everything for their benefit and now they aren’t even willing to contribute to the cost.
I was succinct and clear. You were not. You used long complex words and chains of weak logic for your point. I used "many is more than few" super simple logic.
This sounds exciting! Where will this become available to play when you put it online? :)

Is that still happening? I'd guess that statisticians figured it out by now? Is it hard, or impossible maybe?

But I agree with GP, how is this surprising? The example in the article is stupid, and I am not convinced whether there are any real surprising or counter-intuitive examples.
Drones can be very, very fast. it just depends on the design.

A drone is just an unmanned aircraft at its core. A drone could do maneuvers that would kill a pilot, kamikaze itself, or fly with only enough fuel for a one-way trip. It could have a jet engine, a rocket, or maybe both.

Designing for human pilots is really a huge limitation. Drones can be smaller, lighter, cheaper, and can have any engine the designer decides to put on them.

They’re the future of aerial combat for sure.
Should the US invade, say, Trinidad and Tobago if a company headquartered there starts a $1 Trillion market cap crypto stablecoin called USDX that's supposed to be 1:1 backed by dollar but actually isn't? We know that if there is a fake physical dollar printing press there, there will 100% involvement of physical force. How would crypto be different?

In an unregulated market the unethical actor will always have an upper hand, and sometimes drastic actions like that will be necessary to protect the reserve currency status of USD. Are you ready for it?
Every country has its fair share of idiots, and Brazil having a population of around 214M can easily have tens of thousands of idiots who believe and defend all sorts of braindead ideas.

Beer lasts for a while. I don't see how there are damages and losses here. Inbev is a major supporter of Fifa. They did not give money to the Qatari govt. If anything, there is a more healthier society because kids can now go to games as well.

In fact they should have announced long time ago. More people would have attended the games.
Mining is more decentralized now than it was when Chinese pools had 60% of the hashrate.

Communist China has not been a "free country", it has (had?) several free trade zones (FTZs) which are special economic zones where goods may be imported, handled, manufactured and exported without direct intervention from customs. Thus there has been very very limited government and regulation in these FTZs. With minimal government there, the FTZs enabled them to succeed. Everywhere else in China there was (is?) stagnation and the only way out was to move into these FTZs as a citizen to get ahead.
Same here. I assume a thinking pose and look at a corner in the room - that should signal that at least my attention hasn't strayed elsewhere more significant.

My another strategy is to make occasional eye contact while blurring my vision. To them, I'm making eye contact, whereas for me, it's not that different when I'm looking at the corner.

You could aim this statement at media selective outrage too, and you'd be much more correct.

Yet there wasn't a lot of controversy about Twitter ignoring it. To such an extent that, in your own words, they left even low-hanging fruit unpicked.
I hope someone organizes a counter-WorldCup with local teams and amateurs, because this stinks so much that it will be the worst possible epilogue to a horrible year.

True.

True.

No evidence of that, this is one example of which they lied to you about.

Politicians lie to peasants, they scare them to try to get to power. They have already forgotten their lies and are manufacturing new lies to dupe you in the future. Maybe you believed it too much and made it a part of you that you presented to the world... so you feel the need to defend their lies... which they themselves will not care about as soon as they have newer lies to tell you. They know this very well, in fact they bank on it.

Again, you were duped once, like millions of people on both sides are at all times. You can let it go.

Sure, but Sequoia's hilarious hagiography wasn't mainstream journalism, it was a PR piece posted by a company that didnt exactly hide how deeply invested in his success they were. (Also probably too long and too weird to tempt many people into using his exchange. My favourite paragraph was the one that speculated at length whether SBF was incapable of feeling pleasure. You don't get that in Forbes puff pieces!)
You might not realise it but this is a classist argument.

It was very popular at the beginning of the 20th century. That’s why the olympics were strictly limited to amateurs and why professionalism was banned in France during the nazi occupation.

What happens when you ban professionalism is that the rich who have time to seriously train get good at sports and the poor are excluded.
Politicians put their positions on the BBC in their manifestos and you can pick a representative which has the views on the BBC most similar to your own. Just like almost all other issues.

The anti-trust investigation was not due to the Taylor Swift ticket fiasco. This is a misconception and I think it's the result of the media reconnecting the dots. What's new is that some states Attorneys General have looking into Ticketmaster. The DOJ actually began looking into Ticket Master/Live Nation's practices months before the Swift fiasco:

>"Members of the antitrust division’s staff at the Justice Department have in recent months contacted music venues and players in the ticket market, asking about Live Nation’s practices and the wider dynamics of the industry, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is sensitive."[1]

And in many ways this is a continuation of their anti-trust probe that began in 2018/2019. [2]

Is this the same BBC that's quick to whitewash Israeli apartheid policies? The corruption of FIFA was apparent for a long time, yet it's only now that certain governments seem to loudly voice their criticism.

Don't get me wrong, some of the criticisms of Qatari policies esp. regarding migrant workers is perfectly valid, but seeing the criticism coming from certain groups that are actively being apologetic for worse crimes[0] reeks of dishonest motivations.

How much do you know about personal freedoms in ancient Egypt that you can argue this quote is false?

We do know about the free economic zones in modern China, which had very very limited government. So these only reinforce my point.
> Also it seems like the Chinese would stand an excellent chance of sinking carriers.

Only if they can't hide.

If the US disables Chinese satellites, then China will have to rely on air- and marine-based sensors.

Satellites will be the first thing to go. The wars of the future will have a heavy space component.

How Switzerland continues to allow FIFA and friends to have not-for-profit status is baffling.

Switzerland puts on a very pretty face and provides a very safe space for the modern western corrupt.
Fair point, but IMO increased dependancy is more about joint developement and getting level 1/2/3 partners emeshed into the program's supply chain. Side effect is tying up development resources in partner programs while undermining other competing programs. Hollowing out foreign competitors also benefits F16/18 exports due to lack of viable gen4/4.5 alternatives. Maybe that was inevitable due to US tech leadership, but I think the geoeconomics is a big reason why F35 is "successful" regardless of technical merits. At minimum DRM means US won't ever fight adversary F35s.
Stupid parenting is what causes current issue. Yes, they're too busy to take care of their children, so let's just give them a phone and done, you're free!

If all parents forbid their children to touch the phone, problem solved.
For the first time in my life I’m ignoring the World Cup. Fuck FIFA.
Oh? Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems all the ways of preventing Wall St. from becoming over leveraged fundamentally depend on regulation, which is vulnerable to lobbying and political capture. That’s happened twice now - dismantling of Glass-Steagal after the Great Depression, and dismantling of Dodd-Frank after the GFC. The former took decades, the latter was done in just ten years.

My point is, crypto may represent a permanent and deterministic solution to this problem, implemented at the protocol/infrastructure level, and which is difficult or impossible to corrupt via lobbying and political capture.
I like this action. I hope they mentioned people died while crossing to EU (and UK) too.
I have used both Mailgun and SendGrid on projects with similar numbers of outbound emails and both work as expected. I had slightly less trouble working with SendGrid. I have never seen any problems with their dashboard. You can use their API libraries, or just send a direct HTTP request, or have sendmail on the server configured to relay through SendGrid.

You can also relay through a GMail account if you already use GMail for inbound emails on your domain.

Having done this a few times with various web sites I can say it takes less than an hour to integrate MailGun or SendGrid and get it working. You probably don't want to implement and manage an email server and bounce/unsubscribe handling yourself.

Likewise. I've used it to introduce many people to more serious sci-fi.
Considering equal capabilities, airborne missiles are, I believe, cheaper than their land based counterparts (the can be smaller as much of their energy comes from the aircraft), more mobile (easier to fly a plane a few hundred km that drive a massive truck) and harder to destroy ahead of time. Many "smart weapons" are basic "dumb bombs" plus a relatively cheap conversion kit that makes them glide to the right spot.

In Ukraine, I understand, much of the defence against Russian missiles pounding civilians is done from aircraft in the sky, not with rockets from the ground.
I hope the author will make the firmware available to others for research.
The WSJ wrote one of the listed puff pieces. In fact, it was written by their global tech editor (a Q&A without much pushback on the optimistic claims SBF was making). Perhaps the most egregious examples was from NYT, which also charges for its content and is highly profitable.
The RX 5700 is gfx1010. You can find some of the mappings on https://llvm.org/docs/AMDGPUUsage.html

The driver and compiler work, but the math libraries were never updated to add gfx1010, aside from rocBLAS and rocSOLVER. The official binaries don't contain machine code for your architecture, aside from those two.

I would suggest building ROCm with Spack if you are using a gfx101x processor. I've been working to make sure that all of ROCm can be built for different targets. e.g.

spack install --verbose --test root rocblas amdgpu_target=gfx1010

That will build rocBLAS and run a subset of the test suite. The RX 5700 hardware is not tested by ROCm QA, so running the test suite is usually a good idea.

I have an RX 5700 XT available, which is also gfx1010, so if you encounter any problems and need some guidance, feel free to contact me. My email is in my profile.
I think this is an entirely different argument than what is being made. If people enjoy watching the best of the best play we should likely support that. I don’t think we can go back at this point to just watching amateurs play it’s honestly just not that fun.
Counterpoint. F-15 is one of the (if not THE) most successful fighter aircraft ever made and it doesn't look so sleek in my opinion, relatively speaking.

Maybe the Fiat 500e was particularly bad at regenerating, not sure. I haven't driven newer models on these hills.

With the Fiat, it would use up about 30-40 miles of indicated range to go uphill less than 10 miles. But it would only recover 2-3 miles on the downhill side.

> is a local transportation vehicle not designed for that kind of travel

This is local travel, it's just that the area is hilly so going anywhere is going to inevitably involve hills.

> Perhaps I misunderstood your complaint, and your concern is just the range and not the efficiency?

To be fair, that's precisely what I said: Hills kill EV range.

>Would it work? Probably not

"Probably not" indeed. Human brains need to be stimulated in order for them to build their neural net. Blindly following instruction is not stimulating.

>but our current approach (studying openings, etc.) is obviously not working

That's part of the current approach, not the full approach. Kids that show promise in Chess, already train with computers today (in addition to personalized coaching, and strategy study). I have no doubt that the current generation of chess players is best of all time, and that the next generation will be even better. Even with that, I don't think any human will be able to train enough to beat even Stockfish, much less Alpha Zero - just as no human will ever train enough to beat computers at arithmetic.

In China people are put in concentration camps, but they hosted the winter Olympics without this much fuss, so that certainly qualify as arbitrarily treating them worse.

Telegram chat bots are pretty useful, because you're supposed to tell them commands, not natural language. Alexa wouldn't need sophisticated software if you interacted with it with a series of limited commands instead of natural language.
If it has "artistic" or other redeeming value, go for it. Write a README or blog (or three) covering what's unique or important, or how it fits into some historical narrative. Just be clear with yourself on what you expect to get out of it, and how much work you're willing to put into feeding your pet.

I published something once which was three lines of code. It was useful; anyone could do it, but nobody did (a modem dialing script, of all things). The (often multipage) requests for releases to publish were an unexpected annoyance; I always tried to respond politely that I didn't feel it manifested the requisite originality to be a protected work, and that if they printed the email out and sent it to me with a self-addressed stamped envelope I'd sign it and send it back.

I publish https://github.com/m3047/trualias (checksummed on-the-fly email aliases) even though I consider the code far from perfect: it works, it defines a grammar (which I'm happy with), and it has (pretty comprehensive) tests for that grammar. The most important aspect in my opinion is the grammar and a working proof of concept. (To my bemusement it also has the most stars of any of my projects on GitHub, go figure.)
Decommissioning hardened airfields is a hard task. The fighters sit in bunkers along with everything else if note. The bunkers are cheap to replace and are simple concrete structures.

The runway is ultimately a piece of flattened ground. It’s only a question of bulldozer size for how long it takes to fill craters and patch the runway.

There are also semi-public examples of extremely hardened runways such as the Swiss underground airbases.

You may be confusing bros with jocks. SBF was the quintessential cryto bro, checking all the boxes of the startup / tech bro stereotype: young white man with a elite education, or a dropout of such, liberal values wants to change the world, quirky but a genius, filthy rich as a result of his own, totally self made business.
Of course I don't want to go there. I don't want the consequences of global warming, war, peak oil, and the likes.
I don't own any crypto but I think this is an overly reductive take and fails to make comparisons to its natural competitors - cash and gold. Cash has zero intrinsic value and while gold's intrinsic value is non-zero it would be worth far less if only industrial uses were considered. It isn't reasonable to compare crypto to stocks or farmland for this reason.

The distinction between cash and crypto boils down to if you have more trust in centralization or de-centralization.

One thing I stress a great deal in my lectures is the difference
between AI and IA.

Intelligence Amplification, to me, is the original purpose of
computing, and while AI can aid IA, most current thinking goes the
opposite way, toward usurping or minimising human intelligence. I
often point to the existence of a UIX culture in which book titles

industry.
