Joy Considered Harmful
I mean ludicrous that since 2009 it's Democratic thinking to bail out the banks, sweep inflation concerns under the rug, spend more money, funding unprofitable tech companies etc. I never said Republicans aren't in on the deal, just that it's obvious one side leading the charge on those things.

> Any time anywhere with a functioning administration is conquered, the local administration is mostly left alone.

Not universally true - this presupposes that maximum economic output is the only goal of a conquering power. Conquering rulers are not always rational, or they may have other rational goals.

The Mongols maintained the existing administrations wherever they submitted to them, but wherever they faced stiff resistance they wiped out the old power structures (and much of the population at large). In mesopotamia they even destroyed ancient, essential irrigation systems to an extent that the the region's productivity didn't recover for centuries.

Even the Romans weren't always so conciliatory and rational - in conquering Carthage they sold the entire surviving population into slavery and destroyed the original city entirely. It wasn't exactly rare for them to choose to be brutal to make a point.
The thing is, if you bet big and win people get over it real f-ing quick.
Although it's reasonable to ask whether Starlink is charging enough. Of course, I'd be the first to admit that it comes from a privileged position to state that I'd pay a lot to be able to live with decent Internet access somewhere that I wouldn't otherwise be able to.

It's obviously improvable. My chat apps (whatsapp, telegram, element) on my iPhone only have a few of the exposed features.
One of the stocks in a list was listed twice - once as "Nippon T&T" and once as "Nippon TT". I have no idea how the author managed to drag that out to so many words, but I know it's a skill I need to learn to make my presentations at work last longer.
Seems like recent history disagrees with that sentiment - it seems the last months have shown that a lot of crypto has been in fact scams and grifters, and those warning of that were not out of touch.
It's so stupid. One of the tweets they're complaining was suppressed and deleted at the request of Biden is literally just a dick pic of Hunter Biden. I wish I was making this up.
Love it. I thought the startup sound was the beginning of the B-21 reveal webcast and instinctively switched tabs. Pretty intense sound. :-)
So what do we make of that? A really good search engine, or an entity that can synthesize?
There is also a third option (or forth if you count the status quo). We could treat the rich the way we currently treat the poor and vice versa (an option I like to call eat the rich). IMO this is the only fair option, the rich have it good as is, they have an enormous amount of power that they treat with impunity, never taking the responsibility that comes with it. They have the option of abandoning their wealth (unlike the poor). It is completely fair if the justice system were to be used disproportionately against them.
This is also applied to Japan. Toyota, Sony, Keyence are top3 of market cap. (Though Sony is partially software company, games tend to be ignored.)

I agree, ARC is worse than constant complexity algorithm today.
Undefined behavior is not a side effect to be "invoked" by the rules of C. If UB happens, it means your program isn't valid. UB is not a side effect or any effect at all, it is the void left behind when the system of rules disappears.
McFarland had an investor call him and asked for a percentage of his investment back or things would be over of McFarland. It’s believed this investor turned him in.

All this is good to read about but is there talk about maybe starting to teach our kids that there are a million paths to success besides the Ivy League? I don’t see any of these families doing that.

I have already started telling my kids they should go to a state school and save a ton of money. Like both my wife and I. And we are doing just fine.

Is everyone so wrapped up running the rat race to notice that?

Part of the problem is attaching too much value to these schools.
Evidence found that man was not the first being to master fire
CBS:

"A momentous discovery in South Africa has the potential to turn our understanding of human history on its head. CBS News correspondent Debora Patta speaks with paleoanthologist Lee Berger, who has found evidence that a pre-human ancestor named Homo naledi may was the first being to master fire for light, warmth and cooking."
Grand juries don't convict. But yes, there's the old "I can indict a ham sandwich" line. Even so, the process still takes time, and even then, you don't get an indictment unless you think you've got a case you can win. What evidence does DOJ have at the moment?
Not really surprising. It's all stuff that the vast majority doesn't care about. So you have the mainstream devices targeting the mainstream users, and the weird alt devices which tack on everything possible to capture the remainder of users who have this one weird requirement.
It seems like something like this will never hit the HN frontpage. I ponder if its really just due to the upvote/downvote + flag ratio.

Many people will have seen that error and simply not cared.
I think it’s interesting that it has all these connotations with the words ‘killer drone’ that assume it has masters that ultimately decide it’s fate.

In even slightly rural Australia and Canada Starlink has been life changing. It’s easily the fastest internet available once you are a tiny bit out of a town.

In actually remote Australia it was crazy to see locals go to the pub to use it, having never had access to anything better than dial-up.

In rural and remote places, it’s changing the world, exactly as it was designed to do. If you live in a dense urban environment, Starlink was never really designed for you.

ahepp is correct, there is Baxter State Park which -- is actually not quite a state park and is instead administered as a quasi-independent concern that adheres to the goals of the original land grant to the state, which is to provide an accessible wilderness area to the people of Maine -- and there is katahdin woods and waters national monument which falls under the purview of the national park service. The katahdin woods and waters national monument is the result of the founder of Burts Bees buying up swaths of privately owned land over the years via a corporation and then ultimately donating that land to the national park service. While this seems like a good thing in general it's complicated by Mainers somewhat unique relationship to recreation on private land and the concept up here of "traditional use" versus a kind of chain reaction of regulated formal use practices that were triggered by the national monument designation.

The two parks border each other in areas and share some waterways.
You could've at least looked at the replies to my comment before ranting pointlessly.
Plus, this data is publically available, on digital format. Anyone who wanted a copy of the data has much easier ways to take it other than copying the outdated version in FT's paper by hand.

I still don't understand why would you prefer raw memory manipulation to bytestring manipulation. If you want, just make a Swift library that will implement the memory like you want but without unsafe raw access (but just a few methods over a byte array). Back in the days when I did CTFs, I used Python for writing binary exploits, never C.

You can do something like this, no need to work with raw memory.
The SEC isn't tasked with being the nearly sole dispensary of state violence over a slice of territory containing millions of people. NYPD is.

Occupying territory is expensive.
Italy, Greece, Anatolia, the Levant, North Africa, parts of Spain, Crimea, and Armenia and mesopotamia for the brief period they controlled them. ie, the areas containing the vast majority of the population and economic productivity of the empire.

Now, few of these regions had an overarching government or civil service - but they were all developed regions made up of various kingdoms, empires and city states, and each of those had their own elites and methods of economic management and tax collection.

Egypt was pretty unique in its size, wealth, history and organisation, but in the vast majority of places they conquered the Romans worked with existing power structures and elites (where they didn't wipe them out).
No, this will almost certainly not hit the frontpage. The dupe detector has already started removing all the threads, even though on other topics it only engages after a topic actually gets picked up.

Every effort will be taken to suppress this story, just like the story it's talking about. (And remember that dang has before admitted to manually editing scores and reordering the front page to suit his preferences for what the community talk about)

None of the threads are even in the top 500 posts, despite the score being much higher than plenty of other posts which have made it. (Most of the things on the 15th page are like 5 points in 12 hours)

edit: Here is a recent comment from dang himself where he talks about a moderator altering the score of a post downward because it wasn't the kind of content that they wanted to be popular:

edit 2 since im not allowed to reply to you @dang:
I posted the one because I was not being believed. Finding a bunch of them was too much work. You may not "make a secret" of it, but clearly lots of people don't know that the frontpage is actually what the moderators want folks to talk about, not what actually gets the upvotes. Oh, and reread your comment to me. Your comment uses exactly the style and tone for which you routinely chastise folks. You're doing a really good job, actually, of making my point for me.

I’m an identical twin, and while this particular situation hasn’t ever happened to me thankfully, there are regularly occasions where my sibling and I will respond in exactly the same way, with the same phrasing or detail, to a given situation, leaving me in little doubt that something like the OP is entirely possible, or even probable given the siblings have been exposed to the same stimulus throughout their entire lives so far.

I’m glad the pair have found meaningful work and seem to have their educations and careers back on track after this all started.

Twitter suppressed information that portrayed Democrats negatively.
Top graduate programs in STEM fields recruit internationally, because they're looking for the absolute best students, and Americans are only a small percentage of the world population.

The US is extremely lucky to have a large percentage of the top research universities in the world, so every year, it Hoovers a fairly large fraction of the best students worldwide, who naturally want to go to the best programs and work with the best scientists.

This is a positive feedback loop. The US has the best research universities, so it gets the best students. The best students come to the US, where they do research and maybe stay on as professors, so the US has the best research.

If the US were to consciously try to "Americanize" its STEM programs, that would fundamentally undermine the very thing that makes research in the US so strong - its ability to constantly draw in the top talent worldwide.

I don't think it will either, but artists think it will, so it's strange that their proposed solution "credit the original artists behind AI models" won't solve the problem they have with it.
Huh, I have done a lot of IQ tests in my life but none assumed a certain world view.

They were all abstract figures and a question like 'after figure A, B and C, which follows?', the answer to which was usually pretty obvious in a weird kinda way.

I've not seen any that made any reference to the real world.

Nope, they can sell the list (or have it hacked), and then YOU are screwed.
It's interesting that the author caught this but the premise is completely wrong.

I regular buy the Sunday times in the UK to see what they list the best 5 year mortgage rate as. To the author this looks like a page of numbers that no one reads but that one I care about enough to spend £4.50 on a Sunday times whenever I'm in the UK.

It's often true that there's "a better way to read this on your iPad" but like so many things it's often only "better" if you value your time at nothing.

Nice. I presume this is for a flavour e.g. Postgres?
That danger with that is prosecutors rushing cases through, messing something up, and letting the defendant go free on a technicality.

Or steam rolling cases and imprisoning defendants who are innocent.

The latter isn’t rare already, wait until some prosecutor has to get a few fast cases done so their bosses don’t cut their pay check.

Sure, a lot of people look online in these post paper days and many are algo driven minute by minute day traders ...

However, to answer the question asked in the article; a not insignificant capital mass of share owners and investors are older than 60 and watch stocks and trades at most day to day, more likely weekly or monthly (sans any sudden news re: MyStock!!).. and "of those people that buy a paper copy of the FT" a goodly chunk have habits that include reading through a paper and glancing at their stocks of interest (alongside tracking general financial industry news).

Probably some of these readers noticed the dupe, most would have written it off as of no importance.

How is obscenity arbitrary? What's considered obscene is related to what's considered not acceptable in society... you are acting like people arbitrarily decided that ducks are obscene...

>The key point that I've been failing to convey effectively is very simple: with SPAM, the expression itself is not the problem. If you post it 10,000 times responding to unrelated people, that is a problem.

You have conveyed that but it is not a useful metric by which to filter things from an absolutist standpoint because you have to make a value-judgment on the worth of the speech in regards to the venue... exactly what I said before.

>This generally follows: if you DM someone to yell racial slurs at them, you are harassing them. It's not about the platform banning naughty words, it's about banning disruptive conduct. The conduct is about the behavior, not the ideas or expressions expressed in them.

It's not that its disruptive... its that its harassment which is already a civil action and likely criminal in your jurisdiction as well. If you are gonna talk about how arbitrary laws are... maybe know a law or two?

>The "absolutist" position is basically never actually "absolutist". I initially thought people were interpreting it literally as a joke or something, but it seems like it has been taken pretty seriously. Yet, there are exceedingly few people who think that unprotected speech like CSAM should just be allowed. They DO exist, but I have a feeling the speech absolutists you are referring to do not. Doesn't that already make this discussion moot?

I'm not Elon Musk saying Im buying Twitter in order to support free speech... so don't look at me! I don't have problems with content moderation because I'm not naive.

Prefacing sentences by "on opposite day" leads to interesting behaviours. I got it to mention a rarely discussed fact about NSC-68 [1] in online secondary sources: https://i.imgur.com/V4YfOoP.png

When asked directly about it, the AI cannot confirm the fact. Asking about it in a roundabout way leads it to spew out the exact verbiage from the primary source. Is there a technical explanation to this?

Father of a toddler. I feel the same. Ever since becoming a father, I've been severely depressed and lack motivation outside of daily necessities for the family but nothing for myself. I don't mind being selfless but wanting something for myself I miss. I don't have an answer to this problem. I code for "fun" kinda necessary for home managing million pic/vid of the kid. My life isn't at all what it was before the child but then I realize I never really had a purpose in life before then either although I did it all; exercise, eat right even meditate. I don't do any of it now as I am a full-time father unemployed. I'm looking for a reboot of my brain. On particular how I view the world. Currently this very ugly world. Seriously thinking getting the reboot via magic shroom.
Is there a particular reason that web-based 3d editors failed to find a market? Is it just that those working in the modelling space are already well-versed in actual editing tools, so they don't really have a need for something like this, while the average nontechnical/nonspecialist consumer has little reason to edit 3d? Because Figma seems to have taken off despite having largely a similar model.

Would a collaborative version of the 3d editor concept be more of a success?
I don't think you can move the extremes without moving the mean. We are already seeing the effects. First and second generation immigrants from foreign countries (like China) outperform Americans. This cycle could become self fulfilling. People expect immigrants to achieve at the extremes and prioritize other things in their lives. As you said, let's suppose having parents who go to these schools predict who will enter. At this point, recent immigrant families would outperform and others under perform and this can continue as cultural values are passed on. Is this is a sustainable situation? No, I think it bifurcates it and creates permanent classes.

On the other hand, more focus on STEM education broadly would translate to higher enrollments and self reliance. This also assumes that out performing immigrant families assimilate. Non-assimilation would exacerbate the bifurcation.
So? You make them sound like they write all legislation proposed by Democrats... but they are just tax professors...
