It's a profoundly idiotic book. But the pacing achieves its goals. You're not bored while you're reading it.

What people get out of reading The Da Vinci Code, or other books in that style, is the same thing they get out of watching thriller movies. So I think it makes sense to call the book a thriller.

> Brown's style is cinematic, or at least cinematic-aspirant.

This is an interesting comment. I didn't get that vibe from Dan Brown. But Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart struck me, while I was reading it, as an effort to put a movie into book form. I was completely unsurprised to later learn he'd shopped out the movie rights.
The trick to avoiding AI turning your life into a living hell is to just stay off Twitter, TikTok, and most of Reddit
And not just entitlement, it's enjoyment coming from the worst place. This guy by his own admission never made the effort to fight for money, instead prioritizing love, whatever that means, but when it comes to getting paid he feels entitled to money. He just wants "fair" without having to make the effort to think about what that means.

I just read the blog post. The first issue was acknowledge on the same day and fixed on a commit two days later. All issues were noticed fast and corrected in the following months.

Now, there are of course much more mature options if that makes you comfortable, which is totally respectable, but saying there are bugs in the programming language borders spreading FUD.
I think you don't need to definitely prove you're human or pass some kind of adhoc turing test. You just need to convince them that whatever need they have can be taken care of via the chat widget.

I’ve found people like Dr Paul Jenkins on YouTube hello with “reframing” significantly.
I would like to add Microsoft Office 365, most of you would like access to the Office applications. If not, that is fine as you can still pay less. You also get Azure Active Directory included for free, which you can use for single sign on applications you have(up to 10 applications).

I am founder for a new startup and we decided to go for Office 365 as our email service because it just made most sense for our business. And those who knows me, know that I prefer to avoid Microsoft solutions most of the time.
Why would you build a single point of failure? Not to mention feeding the monster even more.
I am not so sure; I just hit up a bunch of my ex colleagues one by one, asking about chatgpt; they have 0 idea what i'm talking about. They (programmers), mostly said AI is for content. So yeah, they are not going to use it as they have no clue it exists. I told them now, but this will be the norm outside the twitter/hn bubble really.

Also, when it starts costing money (which @sama said it will), they won't use it, just like they are not using copilot because it's 10$/mo.

I think your attempts to be profound come off as incredibly naive with regards to the realities of a traumatic upbringing. These relationships impact your whole life.

You do not get to choose your parents. Your parents should choose a good time & place to have children & not cave to pressure from foolish people waxing poetic about finding meaning by living through their children.

I agree that link [2] is defending his (DePalma's) taxonomic placement of Dakotaraptor or possibly making the case that it is not out of the question based on comparisons that can be made.

I am not a dinosaur expert at all so I don't know how one goes about assigning specimens to species and placing them on the family trees. There are lots of challenges to the process in identifying adult versus juvenile individuals that lend enough confusion that I have to let others make those calls.

I believe the criticism that the author is rebutting in the post has partly been handled by DePalma, namely that part of the material used to define the Dakotaraptor was actually chimeric in that it did not come from the same animal. That seems likely since other posts I read mentioned that the Dakotaraptor fossil was co-mingled with other fossils and DePalma later removed the questionable material (from a turtle?) to correct that problem.

The author of the post did not address the other issues noted about DePalma and how he approaches his work and manages his relationships with peers. Those characteristics are discussed on the other threads of the other links and mentioned in the original article.

He’s very open about his responsibility for the miscommunication. And says he does not blame Carl (except for apparently hiding the Microsoft buyout from him).

As for the end poem, I’ve never played Minecraft but I found it to be beautiful and touching writing.
Any stats on "organ transplants vs. literally every other treatment" invalidate your "firsthand experience".

I'd bet that even in your "firsthand experience", however skewed it is, treatment was significantly more prevalent than organ transplants.

There are in total just over 40 000 organ transplants in all of US. [1]

Do you really want to tell us that there are fewer than 40 thousand attempts to save/protect a person's own organs?

No, that's what he says. But someone who genuinely grew to understand he was wrong doesn't write blog posts like this, explaining how he was wrong, like that's a question in everyone's mind (honestly until now I'd never known there was an end to Minecraft)

No, this is a person who's burning with envy and finds telling yourself stories an outlet.

Certificate transparency doesn’t prevent cert backdating, because certs can be included in logs long after they’re issued.

It would be possible to require certs be included in logs before some cutoff time but no browsers do that today.

It does provide a mechanism that cert backdating can be detected, if new never before seen certs keep showing up from a partially distrusted CA.
> a rule line can start with spaces

Well, that's stupid.

And it's news to me. I have never seen a makefile that actually did this. So you could still fix the problem and be backwards-compatible for probably 99% of actual cases. And you could provide a --stupid-whitespace-mode flag for non-backwards-compatible makefies.

Honestly, I still see no legitimate reason to continue this insanity.

No, they don't. But I'm very well aware that no one actually cares to hear my point of view. That's not at all news.
I used it for a year and liked the concept well enough at first. But the filtering by email addresses makes it difficult when many companies use the same email address to send both transactional and promotional emails.

And the lack of SMTP makes migrating off their service slightly less clean as well.

It might be opening a can of worms but how do you see Russia pulling off a victory after the abject failure so far. They are burning through assets trained and built over years. There is absolutely no reason to believe that their position or resources should improve over time. As it stands their logistics are a laughingstock incapable of effectively bringing a few few hundred thousand people effectively to bear on Ukraine. There is absolutely no reason to believe its up to bringing a larger force to bear. How do you see them possibly winning?

I was hoping part of the rebuilding would be simply seizing every penny of Russian assets currently frozen and giving them to Ukraine.
This could be an email, but of course the business doesn't want this as it would create a record of interaction. Whenever I had to use live chat it was a tactic to wear you down.

> If the universe is mathematically infinite, then it’s guaranteed we’re not the only ones because any low probability event will still happen infinitely many times in that case.

This isn't really true in any meaningful sense.

What is the probability of me tossing a coin immediately after writing this comment, and it landing heads? As I write now, it is 1/2. However, it's clear that only one outcome is possible. EDIT: it was tails. It didn't come up heads, however infinite the universe may be, it just didn't.

(Note: there is a non-zero probability that a similar being sits in front of his computer in a similar shirt, having a similar online discussion, who tosses a similar circular disk which comes up a different way, but that being is not me).

> the likelihood that that just happened by luck seems astronomically low

It seems that way, but as you are arguing elsewhere, unlikely things can and do happen in the universe.

> Note that I’m not claiming they are space faring

That's part of OPs premise, but I don't mind leaving it out of the discussion.

I actually like your formulation:

a. what percentage of planets develop life
b. what percentage of life develops a species capable of building technology
c. what is the likelihood that species has access to resources on the planet to build that technology

I'd argue with the 100% for b and c, because we have at least a reasonable belief based on observation that there is no other intelligent life in our solar system, and we have evidence that planets exist without those resources to build technology, but it's not the crux of my argument.

The crux of my argument is really a). We don't know what percentage of planets develop life. But as yet, we are unique.

On a personal level, by the way, I do actually suspect that we are not alone in the universe, but that's a gut feeling, and I don't believe there's maths to support it.

EDIT: FWIW, it was tails.
Very interesting! How does it work?

Indeed. This was a great deal for the writer. He wasn't part of the team. He was a contract writer. €20k is a lot of dosh for a few pages of text. It smacks of trivializing all of the work of the people who spent months working on it because he feels like he didn't get a big enough piece of the pie. It sounds like that got lost in the fog of war, because otherwise they'd just have said, "Ok, that's enough. We'll just hire someone else for half the price."

I honestly suspect the €20k figure was, "Let's offer him a big enough number so that we don't have to be distracted by negotiating this." And then began the long-winded and self-important wall-of-text emails.
Depends a lot on the specific community. Different games get different kinds of people, and different developers cultivate different community norms. It can also be substantially more awful than normie software development. Devs can end up having adversarial relationship with the players of their games. It can be very bad. But normally it's ok...
Mojang was not a tiny indie company though, it already sold millions of copies before the release. Yes, he should have let his agent negotiate the contract. Do what you are good at and let others do what they are good at.

I'm soft-locked into Google Workspace/gSuite/Google Apps/??? with my primary account at a custom domain, and I really want out of my subscription but there isn't any way to convert that to a personal account. I have so many OAuth accounts, purchases, doc shares, etc associated with that Google account that it would be difficult to do without. Is there any way to keep that Google account without having an active subscription?

Also, I'm paying for Apple One and it could host my email... but should I? Its private relay system is pretty cool... but I really don't want to get locked in again.

I really want a self-hosted IMAP server, but to have decent spam filtering and deliverability. I'll set all the domain keys and stuff, but I need a trusted IP for the mail server or some path to make mine trusted.

I have a strong feeling MS will put out a statement that they own the end poem and it is not public domain. The author talks about how big the game was/became, but it’s actually irrelevant because no one bought the game because of the poem.
I think US cloud companies got a huge boost when ISPs in the US handicapped users with NAT and asymmetric download speeds. You basically are forced to use a middle-man to serve to the internet.

With IPV6, anyone anywhere can be a host again and p2p applications have a chance to be competitive with Cloud SaaS offerings.
I always thought starting with CSAM was just a convenient pretext for slowly introducing surveillance tech in the U.S.

Btw, this type of clearing up confusement is one of the most important (and hard) parts about UX Design. The wireframing is quite easy if you finally really understand all the requirements and stakeholder goals you need to balance.

Did we read the same thing? He says he felt at the time that he should have got something. Much of the post is about him avoiding trying to get any money. He had some issues, sure. Still has, by the look of it. But it’s not accurate to say he’s greedy and entitled. He failed to understand the situation he was in, got something that seemed good but was actually not that good (which does happen all the time), went through all sorts of weird metaphysical things (not my cup of tea, but I am not him), and apparently ended up somewhat satisfied in the end.

We can disagree with him, the writing is rambling and takes for ever to get to the point, and then hits it on the head repeatedly, but in the end it does not matter. I suspect what is important (to him) is that he’s written it, not that you read it.

Anyway, I am surprised to see so much hostility here.
I'm talking more about the snowball effect that this kind of practice would have in the long run. Training models working on contents that have been generated in the past by AIs, again injected as a source for a new AI. Are we heading towards an impoverishment of information? Maybe not if we include trusted third parties in the data source. The question of the source of training data will be important to monitor.
Java is just a painful language. At that level of abstraction you would expect to work purely on business logic, yet Java makes you just focus on the boilerplate and lacks completely basic features such as tuples, real generics, async/await, anonymous types and more. Spring is another huge pain point, it's slow and verbose in comparison to Go or even .NET. Java is not even close to Kotlin, that's why it was invented in the first place, to not make you want to shoot yourself in the head. Needless to say, I don't see any real use of Java in 2022 and beyond.
Kotlin has made its pack with the Chocolate Factory, as such they need to now live with the consequences of being a language whose main purpose is to write phone apps where compatibility with Java isn't taken seriously.

Software has bugs. That's the way it is. You may think that Julia (but I suppose this is mostly about the ecosystem of packages around Julia) has too many bugs. Then you can use something else. Like Python. If you move from Julia to Python, you may want to use Numpy? Pretty cool project. It currently has 1,9k issues on Github and if you filter by bugs, it has 599 such labeled issues. How many of those are issues like in the post? I don't know. The same applies to Scipy. For example, the gaussian hypergeometric function returns wrong results for some input values https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/3479. This issue was filed in 2014. You can find similar old issues in Julia packages. That's how these things go. Luckily, many of the issues listed in the blog post are fixed.

If you think that picking any language and any library combination with a semi-high requirement for the number of features you want to be already implemented will be able to fulfill the "this has to be completely correct or I won't use it for my research"-requirement you will have a hard time.

The last part of the post seems to be about OffSetArrays.jl. Many people who have implemented libraries and who care about composability and generic input also agree that the Base AbstractArray interface is not perfect or complete and sometimes the issue is that the interface that does exist is not followed well enough for composability to work. A more complete, agreed upon, and generally adhered to interface for an "AbstractArray" would be nice and has been+is being worked on and discussed by many people in the community.
