Maybe. Maybe not. Obviously we can only take your word for it as we have not look and analyse what’s currently there and what’s required etc.

I suspect it does cost more but i doubt it’s a “huge leap” but it also defines what you define as huge leap.
In your case 2, the correct thing to say still isn't "delete", but is rather "redirect", so I guess that points to case 1.
Hong Xiuquan’s story is pretty bonkers, but I think the more sensationalist aspects of it overshadow the possibility that some sort of disruption to the tottering Qing was due in that era. Increasing foreign entrenchment with defeat in the Opium Wars, an increasingly sclerotic government, and much local turmoil (even prior to the rebellion, there had been ethnic and class-based revolts in Guangzhou, iirc, and some of Hong’s support base was because he was of the Hakka minority) all made the situation fraught.

Hong being influenced by American Christian missionaries is odd, but there is much precedence for rebel leaders who took on dynasties to be of millenarian, even foreign beliefs. Throughout Chinese history, the White Lotus society, with millenarian Buddhist beliefs, had challenged the Qing and the Yuan (the Ming founder was a member). The Yellow Turbans of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms fame were Daoist esoterics. Manichaean rebels fought the Song. I think a lot of times it’s just that religious cultists had the necessary social structures in place to launch rebellions, and the cohesion to continue the fight as opposed to scattered peasant revolts. The history of Chinese dynastic shifts is replete with secret societies. The Taiping were noteworthy not only because they were Christian-influenced, but because it was an act of such an organization being created in real-time, out in the open.
I'm the author. The CMS has done a lot since then, including beginning to enforce their Transparency in Coverage act, which is even more comprehensive than the Transparency in Pricing act (which is what this article is about.)

See the article I wrote on this last month: https://www.dolthub.com/blog/2022-09-02-a-trillion-prices/
Yes. My point is, you’d need that ranged-based static analysis, and probably (judging from how interval arithmetic usually turns out) you’d need bigints much more frequently than they are currently used.
I am skeptical about nature-based schemes because (1) these are frequently not measurable (by contrast, you can measure gas being injected into the ground the same way you measure it coming out) and (2) they depend on an eternal change (never cut down a forest) to offset an ephemeral event (taking a flight).
"merge" is basically "delete and ...", voting "delete" over "merge" doesn't mean that you think the content can't be integrated elsewhere, hence the distinction is not that important for a deletion vote.
In the sense of “it has a feed and ads” then no. In the sense of “platform people use to interact with friends” Facebook and WhatsApp compete for the same market.

Any word about the CAD Sketcher addon?
Sure, but I find it less readable and more verbose than your usual constants.

Also you can't pattern match on a function return value IIRC. Or maybe I didn't find the right syntax, I get "invalid pattern in match" or "cannot invoke remote function inside a match" when pattern matching on function parameters.

There's also solutions with macros, but why complicate something so simple :)
There will always be people impacted positively and negatively by these decisions, so the presence of some people who benefitted from standardized tests doesn't say much about their rightful place in the world. In any case, Jim Webb is an exceptionally weird example to make that case, it's not like he grew up the son of a sharecropper -- his dad commanded a missile squadron for the Air Force and was a full Colonel when Webb joined the Naval Academy.
Not quite. An important difference is whether the old page history remains publicly viewable.
It is, I used it more as a synonym for math and engineering, but that's apparently incorrect.
IMO a big part of the issue is that these media products simply don’t need a full theatrical experience like a more commercialized “popcorn movie” does, so consumers who want an “film” experience don’t go to the expense and hassle of going to the theatre. They just watch it on their TV

"Product" is the problem here, right? A product is a

1) Finished complete shrink-wrapped thing

2) that someone else can't have unless they give you money for it.

Both of these characteristics strike me as part of an incredibly bad model for "making good software."
Same as other posters, I love Blender! Cannot wait for 3.5 with simulation nodes.
Ah, but now you've delved off into opinions. I'd have to say the article itself is just a gigantic opinion piece.

Ugly is the wrong word. Conformity is. If you consider conformity ugly, you will see it as ugly, if you do not, it will not be ugly. It's all subjective.
The pending legislation only move the ask to day one rather than a period of waiting. It's likely not going to help most people, as typically there is a 'probation' period anyway, and so any risk of asking would just mean failing probation.

Other commenters have already articulated how internet subcultures are comparable to other historical examples social subcultures. I think the first order bit is to ask the question if being an internet person produces a imminent threat to human civilization. Personally I perceive physical decay in our well being, happiness, and an overall reduction in the quality of live. I often am reminded how people use to spend their time in the physical space and wonder if we just spent 5% of the time on the internet supporting our local communities we would have a objectively better human experience. It's not that I perceive the internet inherently bad. However, as a tool for psychological distraction, it is incredibly effective and often used against our personal best interests.
Both thanks, not that it's any of your business.

Panic attacks are a symptom, not a diagnosis.

'All in your head' is an expression; one I perhaps should have avoided, obviously there are ailments located in the head that have a 'real' cause.

Panic attacks I suppose may present in 'functional' patients, but there are physiological causes too.

Anyway, I didn't really make any sort of comment on FND itself or patients with that diagnosis, I didn't say 'they just need to pull themselves together' or whatever. I just commented on the way the article was written, that it didn't seem like the author understood.
3000 words on ugliness. Zero pictures.

If the author is going to complain about ugliness, he may as well show some examples.
That was (mostly) a joke :-)

The problem with the word ugly is its completely an opinion. There is no right or wrong ugly.

The author would have done much better to forego the word ugly and replace it with hyper conformity.

Haha the Blender Python API!

Back in high school, a friend and I wrote a 3D platforming video game from scratch. The on-disk 3D model format we used was something I just came up with. It was plaintext ASCII where we would write in every vertex and tex coord by hand, and the engine would turn those over to the obvious OpenGL functions. That was obviously stupid, so my friend learned how to use Blender and wrote an exporter to my format using its Python API. You can read a bit about it here[1] on our old website, written in 2005 when we were around 17 years old. Memories.

My friend eventually went on to develop & commercially release a 3D platforming game called Poi[2].

Disclaimer: I'm not a physicist. I'm just some random internet dude who likes learning things. My understanding is that a single photon wouldn't count as an observer. It doesn't even experience time (from the point of view of the photon, admission and absorption are simultaneous). Now if that photon is entangled with another photon, that can then be considered an observer. Someone please correct me if this is not accurate.
How is it that America can still be traumatised from the world wars architecturally but europe is not? I don't really buy the argument that america builds badly because of fear of destruction. It's more that we are an utterly utilitarian culture. We have nothing old, and cannot imagine that anything might become old. Our goals are to maximize profits while minimizing cost, so we end up building $10m houses out of shitty plywood and fake bricks glued on the fascade.

I don't think the ugliness is anything philosophical either. We are simply an unsophisticated culture, with an education system that never exposes people to art or architecture. We're a nation of Nouveau riche pseudo-sophisticated country people who think that money = culture.

There's also a considerable difference in modernist/brutalist architecture and current blandness. Speaking of Vienna, compare the same lot, Rathausstraße 1, Harry Glück, 1980 [1], and current replacement [2]. (It's not just the US.)

(BUWOG, as seen on top of the mall-like structure, is the former housing cooperative for federal officers, now privatized and mostly selling off the apartments. For the better or – as may be feared – the worse, the replacement building is literally a temple to residential building.)
I think there are plenty of beautiful things in the world today.

The theory in art history is that beauty became relegated to other factors after WWI and II. I believe this can capture the mood of the period, but it is a bit simplistic. IMO there has always been many factors, and never was beauty the only aspect of all art.
I distinctly remember thinking - this is odd, but whatever, we had to look at so many resumes we had to concentrate on looking at grades and outside projects and anything else to distinguish between candidates to get to the phone screen stage, it was just me and a senior producer (might be called product manager nowadays), I cannot remember everything but we were looking at new grads for a couple of years to expand a little.
IDK, if you want a rock solid wasi implementation it makes a lot of sense to use it in a somewhat, but not really, critical part of the bootstrap process.

Compiling to wasi which is then translated to C (as it is more efficient than a wasm interpreter apparently) does seem like an extra, unnecessary, step but what do I know about bootstrapping a compiler.
Wtf is with the influx of articles today that start with a false premise and then furiously start writing a huge pseudo-intellectual word salad trying to debunk it?
This problem is not limited to Russian, and is in fact much worse for other languages like Thai, where the spelling of words is only loosely related to the pronunciation. You can optimize for accuracy (transcription) and lose the phonetics, or you can optimize for phonetics (transliteration) and lose the ability to reconstruct the original script, but you can't do both.
well, my point was that the technology exists. Obviously it doesn't replace the traditional computer or a phone but you can do things like making phone calls, setting reminders, timers, alarms, playing songs etc. for some of these tasks you don't need wifi connection on.
But that becomes effectively the same thing if the flashlight is being pointed in your direction from 10km away and it's reasonable to just describe it as pointing at you. Coming from 8 billion ly away, the beam is probably wide enough that it would appear to be pointed at the Milky Way in general.
What things do you typically use the API for? I can't come up with anything off the top of my head where you'd rather use the API than the GUI.
Almost 3 years old! There's a great joke in the movie _LA Story_ about this kind of thing.

Heartbleed, Shellshock, Log4Shell, Spectre... there are plenty of examples of serious flaws found in software far more mature than these smart contracts. Audits and testing only confirm the presence of bugs, not their absence.
I used to have to deal with some Brutalist structures. Ghastly things, look like they were built by some kind of enormous alien wasp-like creatures that spit out a paste of concrete. Unfriendly interiors. Stairwells almost deliberately vertiginous. Floors with the warmth and charm of a Detroit loading dock. A building which does not learn, its unfortunate inhabitants must adapt to it.
Doesn't sound out of the box to me- sounds like a pretty good guess.

It's almost the same model architecture, but GPT3 is much better trained. GPT3 is coherent, while GPT2 is prone to generating gibberish or getting stuck in a loop. The advantage is pretty significant for longer generations.

That being said, neither GPT3 nor GPT2 are "efficient" models.

On the one hand, they use inefficient architectures - starting with using a BPE Tokenizer, to having dense attention without any modifications, to being a decoder only architecture etc. Research has come up with many more fancy ideas on how to make all this run better and with less compute.
But there is a reason why GPT2/3 are architecturally simple and inefficient: we know how to train these models reliably (more or less) on thousands of GPUs, whereas the same might not be true for more modern and efficient implementations. For instance, when training OPT, Facebook started using more fancy ideas but finally ended up going back to GPT-3 esque basics, simply because training on thousands of machines is a lot harder than it seems in theory.

On the other hand, these models have far too many parameters compared to the data they were trained on. You might say they are undertrained - or they lean heavily on available compute to make up for missing data. In any case, much smaller models (like Chinchilla by DeepMind) match their performance with less parameters (and hence compute or model size) by using more and better data.

In closing, there are better models for edge devices. This includes GPT clones like GPT-J in 8bit, or distilled version thereof. Similarly, there is still a lot of gains that will happen when all the numerous efficiency improvements get implemented in a model that operates at the data/parameter efficiency frontier.

Still, even when considering efficient models like Chinchilla and then even more architecturally efficient versions thereof - we are still talking about a lot of $$$ to train these models. And so we are yet further from having OpenSource implementations of these models than we are from someone (like DeepMind) having them...

With time, you can expect to run coherent models on your edge device. But not quite yet.
The author keeps referencing "cardboard modernism" but really should just use the word "postmodernism" to describe the era we are still in when it comes to construction, furniture, etc.

The reason things look and feel "cardboard" is because in a postmodern world, many objects are approximations of the objects we associate them with. So, for instance a vinyl window is made to look like a wood window which was designed in such a way because of the limits of the material in addition to the function of the object. And example being window moldings on a sash window. For a wooden window they had a functional purpose (enclose the weights and ropes) which has been lost but approximated in a postmodern vinyl window because "that's how windows look".

Materials in general have changed so much as well. So much furniture is made out of engineered wood instead of wood for example. But this shouldn't be a condemnation of our postmodern times necessarily. These types of materials, manufacturing, and assembly have made things accessible to many more people. If you want high quality objects made from fine materials and craftsmanship it is still out there. It's just extremely expensive. It's a huge gap from builder grade to quality to custom.

I appreciate how optimistic people are about interesting tools like this. I personally am concerned about production use of models in any form that do not have strict oversight rules and accountability of training data -- especially in digital social spaces.

It feels like we need international, strict, transparent controls over the data used to train ML models and the algorithms through which content, recommendations, and inferences are provided to the general public, otherwise what is bound to happen is commercial interests (which a U.S. president has already admitted is more important than peace[1]) will create massive amounts of pseudo-signal in digital spaces, on the one hand capitalizing on psychological effects of exposure and social proof to sell products, and on the other hand, carrying out and exacerbating the outcomes of political disinformation campaigns.

But strict controls and transparency over training data wont be enough, since the general public is unlikely to ever have the requisite time and energy to inspect the data and recognize when models have been trained for lawful evil purposes and then petition their government for a redress of these grievances in a way that will lead to positive legislative action for healthy digital communities. (I think this task will be relegated to the fringes of society just like it is now, with journalists from big corporate outlets really only interested in these topics as a means of capitalizing on controversy.)

So what do we do? How do we prevent information pollution in digital spaces when commercial interests and state actors have both the means and motive to carry out widespread campaigns of social influence? Would we need to reconsider how we as people, corporations, and governments treat digital spaces -- perhaps considering them as "the means of connectedness" to drive home the distinction between human digital connectedness as a tool for interpersonal communication versus a tool for mass influence? (Is that even possible under our current socioeconomic systems?)

I've always wondered what would be different if we treated online public spaces like national parks. What would we allow and not allow? What could people count on -- and what could they trust (and why) about existing in that space and sharing information with each other?

As these models mature and grow in utility, I'm both excited and hesitant about what is possible -- because I know good people with great imaginations and I also know really bad people with great imaginations.

No, I don’t think it’s just “all subjective” or “that’s just your opinion, man”, but actually discussing aesthetic topics to a deeper level requires more expertise and has less immediate implications (than say, civil engineering) that people are just content to be intellectually lazy about it.
The correct way most people would write this for positive integers is:

if (a < b)

return a + (b - a) / 2;

else

return b + (a - b) / 2;

This method is just more efficient (for places where it matters) as it avoids divisions and branches. But for a vast, vast majority of use-case that tiny efficiency gain doesn’t really matter.

> Maybe the UFOs and such are the local galactic “police”

Greg Bear had a series on this. I think this concept may depend on FTL travel/communication, though, at least in order to work well. Or at least on communication being much faster than travel. (In other words, if the speed of light is the limit, if VN probes are restricted to much slower speeds, the "Police" may be able to contain them, but if they're too fast, the probles will spread faster than the "Police" may stop the spread).

And if the Policing is not done by a single civ, but is something that was set up by a coalition of civs that may exists 100s of thousands of light years apart, I think FTL communication is basically required to be able to even create such a coalition in the first place.

My personal gut feeling, is that we're simply first in this area of Space.
