I've been reading a lot of Asimov lately.

It's really fun whenever one of his predictions about the future are wrong.

For example, in his short story "Franchise" (written in 1955), he predicts that by the year 2008, that US elections will be decided by a supercomputer named Multivac, which itself is a bit funny. But the part that is really funny is the way Multivac provides its output to the humans:

Somehow he had thought Multivac would speak in a sepulchral, superhuman voice, resonant and echoing, but that, after all, was just an idea he had from seeing too many television shows, he now decided. The truth was distressingly undramatic. The questions were slips of a kind of metallic foil patterned with numerous punctures. A second machine converted the pattern into words and Paulson read the words to Norman, then gave him the question and let him read it for himself. Norman's answers were taken down by a recording machine, played back to Norman for confirmation, with emendations and added remarks also taken down. All that was fed into a pattern-making instrument and that, in turn, was radiated to Multivac.

The text is a bit confusing out of context. Mutlivac is asking questions to a human (Norman). A machine spits out the questions onto some foil tape, which another human (Paulson) then feeds into another machine, which converts the tape to text (presumably on a sheet paper).

The whole UX seems laughingly complicated given the fact that they have a supercomputer which is capable of running their whole society.
I get where you're coming from, but there are few issues with this.

Most importantly, I think as a practical matter, there is a big difference between "I do not think gender is subjective; instead, it is determined by observable biology" and "Jews are a treacherous race who control the levers of power and do not properly belong in our society".

Obviously, there is real hate speech against transgender people; but basic criticisms of that lifestyle choice (including the very labelling of it as a "lifestyle choice"), without more, cannot reasonably count as such.

I would be interested how many people who want to deplatform or censor criticisms of the phenomenon of transgenderism would agree with critcising Sam Harris in similar fashion. His criticisms of religion, in particular Islam, are very virulent and strident, and don't seem logically that distinct from "denying" that a man can become a woman. Doesn't he basically say that religion is a kind of mental disorder and that society should ban it? In fact, things like complaining about calling women "birthing people" seem quaint in comparison the stuff he says.
I honestly thought that was Future plc (https://www.futureplc.com/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_plc), a famous (and somewhat-notorious) owner of dozens of publications.
> I'd semantically argue that they are not abusing the position, but rather just using it. Much like a murderous criminal simply uses a garotte.

That argument has been tried in court, and doesn't work. That murderous criminal can still be punished, despite the fact the reason they killed someone was because it was part of their role as a criminal.
I'll be fair and say that atom devices make much better NAS units than the MIPS and other off-brand CPUS in the 2000-2010 period which frequently did not have the horsepower to do even lightweight file server tasks. I remember finding some of these things provisioned with so little RAM that accessing files at all through Samba would lead to a swapping crisis that would make it take 20 seconds to list a directory, 5 seconds to open a file, etc. Atom-based NAS improve on that.
Musk also tweeted that the attack on Paul Pelosi was a drunk fight with a male prostitute. He isn't exactly the beacon of truth.
How do you define “bad” information? I found a list of CSAM sites via a link in a Wikipedia book about onion services- having a known evil target to practice getting a dot onion to reveal its ip was both good and bad data, depending on who you ask.

(The CFAA has since expired, and those rude little pedophiles DEFINITELY noticed me.)
Yup, the EU aims to become irrelevant economically, not only politically & militarily. Probably to be a smaller target?
> It doesn't create anything new. It creates things that look new.

This is not technically true. It can and does create things that are new. There are lots of new poems and jokes right here in this thread. I asked it, for example, to give me its top 10 reasons why Bigfoot knocks on camper trailers, and one of its answers was "because it likes to play with its food." I did a lot of searching to try to find this joke out there on the internet, and could not. I've also had it create Weird Al style songs for a variety of things, and it does great.

If these aren't new creations, I'm not sure what your threshold is for creating something new. In a sense I can see how you can say that it only "looks" new, but surely the essays generated by students worldwide mostly only "look" new, too...

Think it's left/right of the bell curve (as in the meme), i.e. dumb money (retail) vs. smart money (industry).
> So FTX was just a bunch of institutional traders trading against each other? Sounds a lot like a dark pool.

A dark pool has nothing to do with who trades in it. As GME made famous, alot of GME retail orders got sent to dark pools to trade on.

What distinguishes a dark pool from a lit exchange is that orders are hidden and often trade at the midpoint(half penny) and not on the penny.

Who is on the exchange has nothing to do with dark vs lit.
could use a safer method.... meaning accidents to close proximity passing vehicles with wind turbine blades... I see lawsuits

how about piezoelectric cells that utilize the passing weight differentials in the road bed ---- load/unload/load/unload etc.... these cells work on the principle of alternating mechanical stress....
Africa has long been where a lot of US trash (which is ostensibly "recycled") is being dumped. But as in many other fields, China offered the scale and infrastructure to efficiently huge quantities of Western waste that Africa lacks. Lack of proper rail-port infrastructure prevents Africa from replacing China.

But your larger point is absolutely correct -- nothing that is supposedly "recycled" should ever leave our shores until it has been transformed into post-recycled content. But again, it's far too expensive to actually recycle, so the problem is the dishonesty -- if something isn't technically feasible, then we should have this information and full disclosure about what can and cannot be recycled and what the various price points are so that communities can make informed decisions.

It might be better, for example, to divert a lot of the money we spend on existing recycling subsidies to researching better automation techniques for recycling, but as long as firms are able to claim that they are recycling when they are just exporting waste, then this is unfair competition against those firms that really do want to design a real recycling program.

"illegal"

Given the level of corruption we live with today, that term packs an increasingly weak punch as labor continues to see completely unacceptable work arrangements.

What will eventually happen is they will strike anyway. It plays out in courts and a lot of people get harmed.

That same corruption will be the source of blame placed on labor.

It will eventually be on all of us to reject that proposition, stand up for these people and insist on reasonable and prudent labor arrangements. Yes, this means shit costs a bit more. So what?

The clowns abusing their labor could always give a little margin back too. Think they will? Nope. Not willingly. Not one cent.
To be fair, there's limited shipbuilding capacity in the world, with a few dozen very large shipyards capable of producing a few dozens ships a year. And they're busy as is. Also given the shear scale of those yards, it's not like you can just build new ones on demand. Those things are huge, they span the size of a medium city, and require an entire economy of skilled people around them.

So even if we were to replace all of the world's fleet to be more energy efficient (which would almost by definition mean larger/longer ships, since they benefit from hydrodynamic efficiencies), it would take a lonnng time to replace the world's cargo fleet.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, a trader managed to:
1. Buy a bunch of mobilecoin, a thinly traded coin, below $10.
2. Single handedly pump the coin price to $60, due to the market's illiquidity
3. Instead of trying to sell at $60 (which wouldn't work because there wasn't actually a market for the coin), the trader simply borrowed dollars from FTX at the $60 value
4. The coin price eventually returned to $10 but the trader had effectively cashed out at a higher price by borrowing from ftx against the (now worthless) collateral
5. Presumably, the trader then simply defaulted on his loans to FTX and kept the money.

Is this right? Crazy if true.
Imagine the risk when cars can also drive themselves, as 6 ton battering rams that can also self implode the evidence.
I like reading but if it's a book I'm interested in I tend to read the whole thing and then it's 4am and I haven't slept much at all. Another problem is that I'm reading on my phone and the temptation of YouTube is just a few swipes away. The technical stuff I like to watch often wakes me up since it is quite interesting.
I stand corrected.

And agree that EU's regulation would also benefit from taking a more holistic view on pollution than my (erroneous) zealotting on CO2 alone.
> It is of note that the government chose to use Elon Musk's Starlink service for these trials rather than OneWeb, a rival satellite company which it has partly owns since the administration splashed out $500 million to save it from bankruptcy in 2020
Randomly saw this ai tool getting tweeted by a bunch of the personal finance twitter niche

I'm mainly curious if they're actually computing these formulas using ai or if they're using gpt3 and then on the backend coming up with the formulas?

Can ai actually do math or how does that work>?

Good, yes tax things we need more? Where is this money going? Are we funding research for hydrogen powered freight? 1st world taxation almost always affects the bottom rung of the planet while building endless coffers of money for the wealthy.

But that would involve congress doing the right thing instead of the easy thing. But luckily we’ll do the right thing eventually, after having exhausted all other possibilities.
No. It's a stupid piece of silicon designed, manufactured and produced to serve a human need. Why would I care how well-utilised or idle it is?
> I've seen so many terrible libraries by inexperienced developers come and go post jQuery, I actively avoid frontend-focused roles now.

I don't blame you, heh. Every year I feel like the fragmentation is getting worse, not better. It's fun for a while, but makes it really hard to plan for long-term stability and maintainability. It's likely anything I write today will be unusable in 2 years.
> YES, we as a society have decided that some forms of discourse are to be shunned.

"We as the cultural elite have decided what you may read."

> No one is confused about what kiwifarms stands for.

This is demonstrably false. You have invented or swallowed a narrative about kiwifarms and are working to prevent anyone else from discovering the truth for themselves.

A different narrative is that Kiwifarms operated within the law. False accusations were made against it. CloudFlair believed those accusations and stopped protecting it from illegal network attacks. Illegal network attacks knocked it offline for a while.

Which of these narratives is true, and how could we find out?

It's mostly a disincentive. At least a chunk of the money goes to member countries to help transition away from fossil fuel use.

There are a variety of rules and mechanisms to ensure the money that is distributed gets spent that way. How effective those rules end up being in real life I'm unsure.

The World Wildlife Fund is one of many publications that's skeptical of the efficacy of how the money is spent: https://www.wwf.eu/?8275441/ETS-revenues-report-2022
RV-C is intended to be implemented on high perf systems; it's not some tiny, embedded core only extension like ARMv8-m.

And I don't think it's misleading, instruction count isn't the only metric that matters. I$ pressure is very real. So they show both metrics.
For most consumer electronics devices, the energy that goes into manufacturing them vastly exceeds the total energy used during their lifetimes. In that sense (ignoring differences in emissions from different energy sources), from an environmental perspective it’s better to have fewer products running at a higher duty cycle (may not be applicable to high-performance workstations).
Wait till you hear about cameras which primary feature is the ability to purposefully make photos you cannot even see until days later, much less edit in any convenient way. You must fully replace storage every couple dozen of shots and dynamic range is just awful compared to my phone's HDR. (Sarcasm ofc, love film)

There's a bit of a tradition of this sort of thing. The classic is this one, of course: https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/very-truly-yours

But there are many more; some more modern examples: https://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/the-greatest-letter-ever-the...

It's... one way to do things; most lawyers don't write letters like this, but it's hardly unprecedented.
That is one of several uses for scouts. When the opponent has scouts, it's safer to keep your spy behind one of the lakes, since they will occasionally fly across the map just to reveal a piece; you don't want your spy getting "accidentally" killed by a scout either. If the opponent sacrifices all of their scouts early you can move the spy around more easily.

Since killing the opponents Marshall with the spy is such a huge advantage, losing your spy is a big disadvantage.
There's a difference.

If you have a bullshit job you are paid to do nothing. If you have UBI you are paid no matter what you do. Somebody who has to not get fired cannot do anything other than sit in their chair and do their bullshit job. They are actively removed from the pool of useful laborers. But somebody who is paid regardless can choose what to do. Yes, they can watch TV all day. But they can also do something that isn't bullshit.
How so? Last I checked essential goods are pretty cheap if you buy locally.
> that doesn’t really matter. leetcode interviews are about producing the solution the interviewer expects.

This. In an interview, it doesn't matter. The interview process only selects for correct results, not for an individual's ability to solve problems.
I mean, if we wanted to decarbonize at break neck speeds - nuclear power and geoengineering are right there. Instead we are working with a very narrow band of acceptable solutions.
You wanted to see Golden Girls but they showed you ads on teeth glue before your program started?

That is to be expected. You might not need it but someone thought enough viewers would to make it profitable
I don't understand their shipping price. Someone also mentioned that shipping to France is $200.

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about shipping prices :(!

Too bad, they print with such high quality.
In CMOS you can pull off a NAND with 4 transistors. You get the inversion for free. An AND would be a NAND (4 transistors) + inverter (2 transistors).
Team Blue had the complete authority to render the filibuster moot. We the people granted them more than enough power to do what we want done.

Fact is they hid behind the parliamentarian, insisted on bipartisan legislation as a priority and then proceeded to cede the power granted to make that excuse a reality today.

Personally, I reject it all and know damn well this could all play out differently and it doesn't because ordinary people are just not a priority.
As a European, I'm so happy about this.

A system where emitters can ignore the actual cost of their externalities and push them down onto society at large to handle (through taxes) is broken.

This should also result in more funding around anything green tech related, when you actually have to pay the full price of the currently-used alternatives.

Ideally, there'd be a market with buyers (capturers) and sellers (emitters) (with a negative price, so cash flows from seller to buyer, obviously) for carbon emissions where the price depends on the actual underlying cost of capture, but that will hopefully come in the future, when carbon capture is commercially viable.
This is neat, but I expected something completely different from the name. I already had my hopes up for doing VPN/IP over DNS over Wikipedia.

Frustratingly, beyond not actually offering that (which is entirely reasonable), it does not even seem to be using DNS for the implementation of what it does.
Some pay more than the full price. Look up the "Dean's Interest List."
I don't understand this. Does Apple market their M1 as "it depends" ? Or do they say "When you need the highest level of performance ever in a Mac notebook, there’s M1 Max.". I would be insisting Apple actually backup their claim rather than criticizing the OP.
There is no mention of alternative power sources for maritime cargo.
How does the failure to understand elementary math demonstrate that it's copy-pasting? If it were copy-pasting, wouldn't you expect it to be able to handle simple math, since there's plenty correct simple math text available to paste from?
It's cool if it can really do it (as opposed to spitting out wrong solutions that look plausible at a glance) but I don't think it's a good argument against LC interviews. The point is that they're testing your understanding of general CS concepts and how you communicate about code, a language model being able to solve these problems doesn't really change any of this. It's not like the company cares about your actual solution, they already know what the solution is.
Sure, but the best manages I've had have not been engineers. Engineers generally don't make the worst mistakes manages can make, but they often don't make the best choices all the time.
Nobody expects that, obviously, but such solutions do occasionally get accepted (by humans). Beyond a certain basic level of competency, a lot of interviews, including LC-based ones, are about how good the candidate is at story telling and/or explaining their thought process.
"bad faith" and "straw man" are not thought-terminating cliches, they're accurate descriptions of your attempt to reframe my comment. No one is attempting to ignore the existence of "the deplorables" or magically make them disappear. That's not an argument anyone has actually ever been making.

You're right that there's work to be done, but you fail to consider that moderation and deplatforming is a legitimate and effective part of that work. You claim to want to expose and assess the full extent of the problem while giving those who engage in hate speech access to the largest possible platforms for engagement, recruitment and radicalization in existence, ignoring the degree to which their access to those platforms is a literal measure of the extent of the problem.

You also likely assume the balance of power between truth and lies, reason and radicalism are equal, when history (as well as the incentives of social media platforms) demonstrate that it tilts very much in favor of lies and radicalism. Which is why attempts to "clean up the mess" with engagement and debate didn't work before, which is why they don't work on any "free speech" platform now, and why they won't work in the future. Deradicalization can't succeed unless the rate at which hate speech spreads and its capacity to normalize violence and radicalize people can be contained, and that can't be done without moderating and banning it from the large platforms which do exactly that on a global scale.

The problem with the "sunlight is the best disinfectant" line of reasoning is that the top priority of free speech absolutism isn't the safety of marginalized and oppressed groups, or the elimination of hate speech and misinformation, but vigorously defending the freedom of the oppressors to continue their work unabated. Fundamentally, free speech absolutists aren't really looking for a solution, because any effective solution by definition would undermine freedom of speech.
I have random YouTube video essays or podcasts on. Sometimes with rain sound or fake a/c sounds playing too. In the past it was shows like The Office. I keep the screen off. I fall asleep with one or two headphones in. My advice is pick something you're familiar with or, if you want something new, pick something you don't care to rewind for.

If I am really struggling, I play chess puzzles or 3+2 time control on Lichess. I haven't learned any meaningful opening theory and I don't care to right now, tactics or the Chess960 format with a computer is nice for that.
I think the original MobX[0], not MobX State Tree, and perhaps binding.Scala[1], did well on state management, but not many libraries do.

I agree that carbon dioxide exposure is dangerous, but it is probably less dangerous because (TIL) there's a specific brain mechanism that wakes you up when your blood has elevated CO2[0].

On the other hand, carbon monoxide poisoning will only wake you up if its symptoms (among which headache, nausea/vomiting, elevated heart rate, and cardiac arrest seem likely) do so.

What's the dollar harm to all of that, to the consumer?

I will be pretty annoyed if they break up ticketmaster and the avg price paid by concertgoers increases due to competition between ticket sellers, done under the guise of "consumer harm".

I can see people purchased taylor swift tickets from ticketmaster at an 80% discount compared to resellers. That goes away in a competitive market.
