I know this, It is absurd because it ignores the whole of turkey because of this small one island. EEZ would extend at some points to inside turkey itself. It is just example of how absurd these claims even if they have basis ( actually the simple UN law doesn't address these problem -at least in a proper way). If you can't see how this is absurd from the photo I attached then there is nothing I can say.

Anyway, it is only one example of many that we can talk about. The main point is that these claims are not unique or gaining this outrage outside the Chinese case because of the geopolitics differs in this case.
How does corruption and political connection align resources with strategic goals? My first thought was that it would make alignment worse since each agent is optimising for person gain, not for national gain.

ChatGPT fails with complex constraints but it pretends it complies with them

Ask HN: Implement a setup wizard in a microservice architecture environement

Or should I just load sample data and let the admin do the initial setup work?
> Given the hundreds of millions of people that have received mRNA vaccines I think generally we have an understanding of their safety.

The conclusion does not follow from the premise.

Five months following a covid infection in which I had 4-6 weeks of neurological deficit, I received the bivalent mRNA booster, which seemed to somehow reactivate the neurological issues for a few days or a week. Doctors told me this is not uncommon.

These are not "safe" in the same way we mean that MSG or acetaminophen are "safe".

Corners were necessarily cut in the trials of these during development to accelerate time to market. They saved lives, the gamble paid off. But the trial protocols are in place for a reason and we do not fully understand these drugs as yet.
I wouldn’t have grouped Chomsky in with them though.
Without taking into account inflation, I'm wondering how reliable this thing actually is.

I'm a but sus to be honest...
I'm willing to believe the mRNA vaccines have "saved a lot of lives" but there is a study that I haven't yet seen and I'd like to see: compare the number of deaths per hundred thousand in 2022 between the vaccinated and unvaccinated broken down into ten year age groups. 2022 because it's the year that the omicron strain has dominated.
My hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference below 60 and an advantage for the vaccinated above 60, but that's just my guess and I'd like to see this very simple study done.
> It's an objective fact that the professional mathematical community has decided that ZFC is the standard foundations.

This is factually untrue — there a portions of mathematics never formalized on ZFC and there’s not consensus around that. I listed the areas that weren’t formalized on ZFC already.

You’re making bullshit up to make your personal biases sound grander than they are.

> But you claimed it was good for metamathematical inquiry.

No — you claimed that, as a strawman of my position.

But you’re welcome to answer yourself: how do you formalize that equivalence is equivalent to equality without univalence?

You’re on a huff, but never addressed the original point. From my very first post.

> Extracting semantic content of DNNs is not a pure mathematical or metamathematical problem; it is an applied problem.

Wrong.

We lacked the meta mathematical framework outlining what semantics is to enable us to do that — until HoTT told us that the semantics of a system are in its topology. In that sense, HoTT is merely a fact about topos theory: the topology of your semantic model is the interesting part.
- ChatGPT will get more popular, even among non techies, until OpenAI asks for payment.

“R9 (part of the Teams Core Services)

R9 - is a .NET SDK designed to provide a strong foundation upon which high-performance and high-availability services can be built. R9 strives to insulate services from the nitty-gritty details of the platform they are executing on and includes a growing set of utility features which have proven valuable to service developers.

We believe R9 will shorten your development cycles by freeing engineers to work on features rather than reinventing infrastructure building blocks. R9 will save you some dough by providing best-in-class implementations for your infrastructure needs, such as logging, metering, redaction, caching, and much more. R9 aims to converge on an essential set of technologies delivered as a modern infrastructure SDK for all Microsoft services. We also want to take this opportunity to align our technology stack with where the industry is headed.”

"risk" means different things to different people. I'd say it might be that investing in "safe" assets is risky for you, because over the 10s of years you are investing in, they just won't make you money.

Investing in stocks might lose you 30% one year or another, but will likely make you good money over the long run. Look for as much diversification as you can, avoid single stocks, single sectors or single countries / regions. Eg don't invest in EUR stocks just because you earn in Euros, for example.

Keep enough cash for emergencies though in bank account or liquid safe assets / savings accounts.

> both of which they are free to demand but which no one is obligated to give them.

I think the university is trying to find a middle ground here: The university - as institution and administrative body - is acting as the entity that "gives free speech to them" here: They are permitting those arguments be made in public events, on flyers, posters, etc. Of course they can't force students to listen to that speech. So I'd imagine that calls to boycott certain classes still remain valid. However, what they do is forbidding people from blocking others from listening, e.g. by demanding that certain people don't speak at all, blocking entrances to lecture halls, etc. That seems like a reasonable approach to me.

More generally: I've seen the "free speech does not apply to private entities/free speech is no right to be listened to/free speech is not freedom from consequences" arguments online a lot - they seem to be the standard counter arguments of some groups - and I've always found them deeply problematic.

First of all, I think there are a lot of authoritarian states who would be more than happy to adopt the "public only" definition of free speech without any substantial loss of control: "Yes of course, dear dissident, you're perfectly in your legal rights to accuse me of human rights violations on your website. But I'm afraid, I won't be able to help you if the country's ISP makes a private decision to block your site, if your employer spontaneously exercises its right to fire you the next day and if a crowd of concerned private citizens with privately-owned baseball bats will gather in front of your house tonight. Consequences!"

Secondly, the arguments rely on a situation where most services that faciliate discussion in a society - i.e. the media sector - are provided by private companies and are not subject to democratic decision making. So basically they rely on a weak state. That's originally a right-libertarian vision of society and I don't think anyone who calls themselves "left" should be comfortable adopting that vision.
I think there is a wide consensus that Dune is a garbage as a book and a treasure trove as ecology tract with some characters peppered in it.
ChatGPT can give incorrect answers with a high degree of confidence. ChatGPT is overhyped. Undoubtedly, it is going to make an impact, however, it will be an incremental one. It may, for example, make online chatbots feel more natural. However, the current version will not replace Google.
Given it was still published by the Stanford (not "Standford") admin and the link you posted doesn't do much to disavow its contents, I'd say it's pretty clear that the spirit of the guide is still very aligned with the political spirit of the university.

If Stanford wanted to do the right thing, they could very easily distance themselves and say that this kind of language policing isn't something they support. Instead, they double down.

No, nothing you can do can force me to respect what’s said. You’re always open to satire or ridicule or criticism or just being ignored. Peaceful demonstration is a right (it, too, is free speech).

There is no right to illegal speech although protest against its illegality might be appropriate. There’s no protection against libel or slander laws, nor the newer anti-discrimination statues. Speech might be “free” but it doesn’t lack consequences.

The way you describe your interaction is fundamentally flawed.

At no point was it trying to convince you of something.

At no point does it have any clue that "events occur in some order". Or that "time is ordered"...

At no point will you EVER be able to "convince it otherwise".

This is a language model. All it knows is that "in my training set, something said something akin to the two English words: 'ordered events'". It has no model of facts, deduction, or logic, as long as its results are a reasonable approximation of the English language as influenced by your prompt.
> How are manufacturers forcing anything?

Could you point me to AAA-battery powered noise cancelling headphones? No bluetooth necessary.

I have a pair from 2014, and I love that as long as I have some spare batteries, I'm never stuck with headphones which I can't use because of low charge, and that I don't have to charge yet another device. That pair has no bluetooth, so power usage is low: one AAA battery for 30-40 hours of use.

When these are dead, I won't find a replacement, because manufacturer does not want me to use the same device for eight years. They want me to have the integrated battery dead in a couple of years and buy a new pair.

Okay, next time I need to dive deep to get all the performance out of my machine I'll use the language you recommend which:

A) Has a clear specification (none of that "the implementation is the specification" shenanigans).
B) Is not manually memory managed (that's what we're trying to avoid by getting away from C).
C) Is not garbage collected (that's what we're trying to avoid by writing C).
D) Compiles to native code for if not all, at least most of the platforms that C supports.

...now I wonder which languages match that description, C++ with RAII and maybe SPARK?

Yep,but I'm assuming that nearly everyone in the Northern US is on the grid. And yep, economic concerns dominate, I get that.

This is where I'd hope a government looking to encourage EVs would step in and help, if they're trying to make things happen before 2035.

E.g., in my area, the regional council has a scheme where home owners can get a very low interest (or even no interest) loan to install good insulation, and you can also get another one to install a heat-pump.

They're run through banks, but backed by the regional (and maybe central?) government.

But, doing something like this will, initially, only subsidise the people who can already afford to buy an electric vehicle.

TL;DR - it used to be that you couldn't refuel your car unless the servants brought more on horses, as the only service stations focused on oats. But we invested in infrastructure.
I can't read the article as it's pay walled but I wonder if Japan has considered just being friendly with another country that has rare earth minerals already being mined? Such as Australia, America or Thailand?

I don't want to be too negative but a lot of "unusual thinking" seems to be coming out of Japan lately.

> As some one who lives under a blasphemy culture, I think American greatly take for granted their freedoms of speech, and it boggles me that this is not a corner stone of the American Left.

It absolutely was a cornerstone value for American liberals in the past.

A documentary about the director of the ACLU, back before the ACLU abandoned it's principles, looks at how far the organization went to protect the speech of literal Nazis. The ACLU winning a Supreme Court case for their right to hold a public protest march was widely celebrated by those on the left.

>[The First] Amendment assures that even the most odious among us (with “odious” being the term that we apply to those we loathe, but who might view us as odious) the right to express themselves either orally, in writing, or by demonstrating or marching.

It was the freedom to march that caused a major flare-up back in the late 1970s, when members of the American Nazi Party, in uniform and bedecked with their decorative swastikas and stormtrooper boots, applied for a permit to march through the town of Skokie, Illinois...

To Glasser and the ACLU leadership, including David Goldberger, who headed the local Illinois chapter, freedom of speech is meaningless if it is not accorded across-the-board to all those along the ideological spectrum.

Bachelor of Business Science degree in Finance and Information Systems[1]. Depending on the curriculum and institution, Information Systems is not a technical degree in the same sense as Computer Science. That is why I quantified with "it depends on your definitions."

I'm not sure if Bob Young (founder of Red Hat) meets the definition either since he is no longer involved these days. There's a bit of a theme developing in my mind clearly as these are all the enterprise and open source projects. I admittedly don't know much about the founder(s) of SUSE. (In my mind, I might be ascribing some notion of success to being a profitable enterprise. You may not feel the same.)

Nonetheless, those are examples to the hypothetical and I have not researched any others though I am sure they exist. I think one important thing to keep in mind is the type of person/personality these projects tend to attract in the first place. That is likely why there are a predominant amount that are technical. This detracts from the original point though.
