Good journalism should try to challenge or at least knock the subjects out of their comfort zone in order to slip from their script. I think that's the main complaint anyone paying attention has with large media organizations (that they are just retweeting/reblogging press releases and propaganda).

Unfortunately Project Veritas goes further than just trying to challege their subjects and instead manufactures their own 'truth' out of manipulated b-roll. Sourced document of some of the claims they've manufactured: https://www.aft.org/sites/default/files/media/2018/projectve...

Microsoft had a program internally within it's development teams for Windows 95 that you could get any software for free. You just had to agree that you'd ensure it was compatible with Windows 95 and take ownership of its quirks to get it to run on Windows 95.
Google finally stared to pay licencing fees to the news publishers for using their news articles for creation of headlines and summaries for Google search results and for the Google News[0]. If AI chatbots want to thrive they need to employ this business model in which they would pay licensing fees to the content creators in order to use their content to feed the AI algorithm. And ofc they(AI chatbots) would need to link(quote) content sources in hope and in order for users to follow the links and drive traffic to the original content creators. That's how Wikipedia operates; volunteers are crowdsourcing Wikipedia pages with information gathered from all around the Web(plus books and research papers) and they quote information sources. But in the AI chatbot case the selection and the analysis of information is done by the AI unlike Wikipedia which uses human volunteers to do the job. AI chatbot and its content providers would be incentivized by profit while Wikipedia and its volunteers are motivated by altruism. Which brings me to the conclusion that AI chatbot would actually provide you with better information than Wikipedia(taking in consideration for-profit competition between content creators) or any other non-profit but Wikipedia is still useful and relevant with the regard to quality.

I disagree. In the old days, when there were lots of small newspapers, most of them had reporters who went to city hall events and wrote and did investigations of things, went to school events, other city happenings. They usually didn't attack the foundations of the city, but making those events public with discussion was a great value. I love reddit and use it daily, but there's no way to know what neutral info there is, it's far from the neutrality of journalism.
They already knew that and they were already not sending low quality notifications. What they didn't know is how relevant should a notification be for it to be sent.

The quote you gave is from someone who promoted a protest. She was claiming that God destroyed the substation. It's not impossible that this means one of her group actually did it, but it's not the same. It's more like some religious figure in 2001 saying that 9/11 happened because of God's wrath against gays or something.

If having 240V in an outlet was sufficient to charge a car, we could have installed a transformer and inverter in a car and charge it from a 1.5V AAA battery by pulling up the voltage to 240V. Plugging a car to a 240V outlet with a 13A breaker will only give you 2650 Watt charging power (provided there is the same code that requires 85% of maximum draw in continuous application), which is just 1 kW more than plugging into a 120V 15A outlet. Not a huge difference that would make charging bearable when the car uses more than 1.5 kW just to keep the battery warm.

I feel the same way, but I want to caution people: this only works if you have already achieved some measure of success in your career and respect from your peers.

It's easy to be egoless if you're already working at a FAANG, just as it's easy to not care about money if you're already rich.

Still, it's worth trying to remove your ego from the equation, even if you're a struggling student trying to get your first job, just as you should care about things other than money, even if you're poor.
Project veritas is less than worthless. Anytime they have a story or video you can guarantee they took any info, including video, and mis-edited it to convey something that didn't happen. It's another grift to get money from people who pay for supposed false facts.

Not sure where you got squared from?

If half the hash rate disappears, your odds do indeed double, as every hash anyone does has the same odds of success, and with has of your competition gone, you now have twice the odds of being the one that gets it. It’s a (approximate to many decimal places) linear relationship.

If you had 1% odds, you’d now have 2% odds in the ‘half the hash power disappears’ situation.

At the same time, it’s probably worth remembering the contemporary Microsoft rule of thumb that “each product-support call costs a sale”[1], that is to say, handling a single product-support call to that standard costs as much as was earned by selling the product in the first place (and the products weren’t exactly cheap—not that they’ve become cheap now).

Can you further your argument by pointing me to conservative viewpoints that live outside of the white Christian capitalist hegemony? I have a hard time understanding how Republicanism is an inclusive ideology considering their platform and talking points the past few years.
AI can learn to do code review, there is plenty of data on Github. It could also write tests and suggest possible bugs on its own. Overall, using it might be better than doing it by hand.

If you are using the AI just to write snippets of code, then it is suboptimal. What it needs is to monitor execution errors and fix its code over a few iterations, just like humans do.
I've heard a number of Christians talk about how many of them dislike people like Pat Robertson. Why don't they speak up? Sometimes they do, but they don't have media empires.

Yeah, I have 4x CRS326-24G-2S+IN (which is 2SFP+ ports and 24 gigabit ethernet ports) that I'm quite pleased with.

If you're not going to get direct-attach cables, then check out the stuff that 10gtek sells. In the 6->8+ months that I've been using them, I've not had any trouble with their short-range multi-mode SFP+ modules. Also, you can buy them for a little more than 10USD per module if you buy them in 2->10-packs from Newegg.

(And yeah, 10gtek is totally one of those "Direct from Shenzhen" companies that one might worry about buying from. I figured that 10gbit transceivers have been around for quite a while now, so there's no reason they should cost 80USD per, rolled the dice on two separate cheapo 10g transceiver manufacturers, and got lucky when the second (10gtek) turned out to ship a solid product that, like, actually worked and seems to work well.)

What about difficult topics like whether males who identity as women should be allowed into female-only spaces like prisons, domestic violence refuges, sports teams, changing/locker rooms, nude spas, events for lesbians, and so on?

This the crux of the matter. This is what is so controversial - should women lose their hard-won sex-based rights, just so men who want to be them can benefit?

The only example of a progressive court in working memory (for the 25% or whatever who are old enough to be alive for it) was the Warren Court, which ended in 1969. It's been conservative since. So we have no modern data to tell.

So we dont know if those of progressive persuation would similarly show a lack of respect & decorum, be as willing to rampantly destabilize the checks & balances (as this article illustrates) to serve their biases & rewrite our government. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Court

Personally I highly doubt the liberal elite would take anywhere near such advantage. I think they value the rule of law in very real ways, ways that seem absent in the current court.

Rather than try to dissemble & distract, I'd like to see some actual responsible adults on the conservative side step up & wrangle with & talk about this problem. Progressives tend to be pretty fractured folk, and have plenty of internal criticism & wish our side could do better. Can we get some similar real candor or at least real argumentation from the other side? I think democracy deserves better than this form of reply.

Margin Call
The advantage of using micromorts is that they're units that can be added and directly compared. As a populace, we tend to be rather bad at doing fractions and percents - things like mpg - going from 34 to 50 mpg is less of a savings than having a vehicle go from 18 to 28 mpg for the same distance traveled.

Consider the problem: you must either do X (1/200 chance of death) or YZ (Y has 1/300 chance of death, Z has 1/300 chance of death).

Reworded this becomes: you must either do X (5 micromorts) or YZ (Y is 3.3 micromorts, Z is 3.3 micromorts). And now you've got things that are easier to compare and work with in a scale that we can think about. Most people are doing things on the scale of 0 to 20 micromorts. The more adventurous are doing things that get up to 100 or so. The thrill seekers go up from there.

Sigh, I have never said equal outcome. I have gone out of my way to explicitly talk about consistent outcomes however , and where a discrepancy is found, to understand why.

That men are found more guilty of murder is irrelevant to this discussion . The only relevant discussion is whether men are more likely to be found guilty of murder for a similar crime. The former is not bias, the latter is. However the former may be caused by systemic biases that put men in more likely scenarios to commit violent crimes. This is all high level of nuances that need to be understood, versus just saying “this is the way because it’s the way”

You keep fixating on very broad strokes, especially gender. You keep also missing the point of the not just focusing on intake. I’ve spelled that out multiple times, but you keep returning to intake.

There isn’t a point to continuing this discussion because you aren’t willing to even address the actual point of the discussion.
Something I find very curious - Google are doing the same kind of research and are in many ways futher along. They have thier own models like T5 that supposedly perform better. Are their exec unaware of their own strengths?

For that matter, wasn't Google collecting masses of GIS data and doing intense self driving car research? Where is that product?

Serious q - do google have so much money that they are doing tons of research and then just forgetting to make a product out of it?
This is so elegant. It has that rare quality of making you go: “Aha! This is the obviously correct paradigm”. Web and Electron apps are inevitably marked out by distinctive UX jank.

Something interesting that I don't see in the comments here are comments Dijkstra has made about using natural language for telling machines to do things[0]

> Instead of regarding the obligation to use formal symbols as a burden, we should regard the convenience of using them as a privilege: thanks to them, school children can learn to do what in earlier days only genius could achieve. (This was evidently not understood by the author that wrote —in 1977— in the preface of a technical report that "even the standard symbols used for logical connectives have been avoided for the sake of clarity". The occurrence of that sentence suggests that the author's misunderstanding is not confined to him alone.) When all is said and told, the "naturalness" with which we use our native tongues boils down to the ease with which we can use them for making statements the nonsense of which is not obvious.

I wonder what the long term consequences of LLMs will be. I can't see them abstracting away programming languages for the reasons that Dijkstra provides (namely the inherent ambiguity of natural language), but maybe they could be a good summarizer of APIs and generator for starter code.

My prediction is that they'll provide a similar utility to stackoverflow and save time in developing software

> What a fantastic way to spend your life until you hit your 40s and are ready to settle down and start a family.

I’ve thought about doing this for years, and when Covid made WFH a thing it piqued my interest even more. My partner can’t work on a boat, and we have a dog… and we love to cook… and we have too much stuff. In another life they’d write an article about me

While a 28yo with a great job may feel empowered now, I’d be worried about life changes that really impact the plans.

What if you lose your job and you can’t find the right one to keep up this very atypical lifestyle?

What if your family gets sick? What if you fall in love with a land-lover? What if you want/already had a pet?
We are a screwed up world, even as we attempt to improve things and grudgingly admit our problems in the past. I was reminded of the uk's own struggles with destroying the life of Turing in the 1950s. I'm not blaming the UK, the US was pretty terrible and you can add in our own racism, sexism, genocidal actions against native Americans. The little compassion we have for each other today will probably be seen as unbelievable in the future - I hope compassion will increase.
A counterpoint to this is that local news is actually proving to be profitable (at least in the UK) on substack [1]. My guess would be that traditional local papers were too slow to adapt to the internet and also assumed that they would just be able to translate their business model to the internet with little adjustments. This often leads to awful, ad ridden hell holes like this monstrosity:

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/

Try using that site for 2 minutes without it crashing or you rage quitting from the constant rearranging of the page as it finally loads content. Even if you can use it, have a look at the quality of the articles. Case in point:

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/range-c...

The ironic thing is that, whilst the publication is local, it is part of a national group that owns a large part of local media in the UK that all share the same underlying core site just with the names and posts changed to represent the local content. Subsequently a large part of the UK has to deal with this absolute shite for their local news. Hopefully Joshi Herrmann will continue to see success and his model will spread across the country.

> someone can be a technical leader with significant impact, without having a large number of direct or indirect reports.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

In my (limited) knowledge of Carmack, he is both a craftsman and a businessperson... he founded several companies and was the CTO of Oculus for a while. Hard to imagine there not being direct or indirect reports in that case.

In either case, he's definitely better known as a thought leader and rockstar developer rather than an effective executive, I suppose. I think he left Meta in part because he couldn't really get past all the red tape and move the company where he thought Oculus needed to go.

Forgive my possible ignorance here, but to my mind, an irrelevant notification is a low-quality notification. Which, IMO, would indicate that they "were already ... sending low quality notifications".

NEMIX sells through Newegg, but it's one of those "Newegg routes the sale through the seller" things, rather than "Newegg buys the thing from the seller and handles the shipping and everything" thing. In my experience, the price is the same whether you order through Newegg's website, or through NEMIX's website.

Unless you have a particular reason to keep your order history in Newegg, just buy direct from NEMIX.

(IDK about NEMIX's relationship with Amazon, as I don't buy things from Amazon.)

> The bicycle infrastructure solutions the bicycle crowd comes up with increase the risk of collisions at intersections

Either cyclists don't know what sort of infrastructure makes them safe, or you have an imperfect understanding of the sort of infrastructure that they would like to see.

> The one way to reduce the risk of intersection collisions is

That is one way, but not "the" one way, nor the best way. Dutch-style intersections are probably the state of the art solution when sharing the road with cars is unavoidable. Car-free cyclepaths are even safer. There are other means as well, including the elimination of right turns on red, which are particularly dangerous to pedestrians as well.
It's nice to see someone reading history books. I despair at all the "new" ideas that have been endlessly tried already.
