> Why do you assume you're someone worth having a random conversation with at all?

...

> On the rare times I've tried to engage people in conversation they react like I would: impatience that I'm wasting their time, and/or blank looks.

> I'd really discourage anyone trying to randomly engage people in conversation unless you're sure you really have some kind of shared interest.

In my experience, the conversations are almost always very positive. Others report positive experiences and find it worthwhile. That suggests you are sadly missing something. The odd thing is, you seem to want to stop others from having these positive experiences.

I reject any question about my worth or anyone's 'worth'. Perhaps part of the problem is that you are thinking about 'worth', and so judgmentally and dubiously, that people don't respond well. People pick up on those signals; they respond poorly to being judged. Or perhaps you are judging your own worth, which would be sad.

I find that my attitude and emotion greatly influences how the conversations go. Especially, give people space to flourish, be curious about them, and you will be amazed at what is inside - worlds of knowledge, insight and creativity that you never imagined. They are in you too, I'm sure.
> AFAIU one group think gender should be a social construct, rather than a biological one.

No, gender critical people very much don’t want gender to be a biological construct - they find the idea of innate biological masculinity or femininity appallingly regressive. They prefer to think of men and women as primarily unique individuals, ones who are incidentally sexed purely for reproductive purposes ie not for social ones.

> Once it "learns" to get citations right, you'll have to dig into those to see if it's right. It's easy to see that arms not looking good.

But that's fundamentally not possible for the model as is, not in the sense you would normally think of citations at least. If it were to give an honest answer on "why did you say that Obama was born in Chicago", the model would generate training set example with propositions like Obama was born in ____, ___ was born in Chicago, ____ was ____ in ____ and so on - because that is how it learns.

Instead, to generate what you would actually want as citations, it would have to have a way to look up the statement it just produced in a corpus of "citeable materials" and find the closest match, based on some entirely different ML model most likely (presumably something similar to Google's search algos).
Can you give an example of where it has been found in a court of law that a government agency has exceeded its mandate and been ordered to alter their behavior entirely on that basis and not for instance because its actions violate someone's rights or harm their interests?
Re matt walsh it seems his most recent public statements haven't trickled into much of the HN consciousness, I recommend listening to him say in his own words how he wants people that do drag shows to have their doors kicked down and thrown in prison:

Not anytime recently I'm aware of. He's a single example of the notoriously hard to pin down and debate conservative crowd. He famously dodges debates with liberal intellectuals. Sam something. I'm out right now, can't remember name.

> In the bathroom associated with their biological sex? Also who is preventing trans activists from speaking?

Schools across the usa are limiting trans students rights to use bathrooms, getting banned from participating in sports, etc. Weird legislation is being proposed to check student genitals. It's getting super weird in America and I recommend poking around a bit if interested, though I also avoid usa news now, mostly because it depresses me.

> Honestly I don’t really understand why women need a whole separate bathroom to begin with.

I don't understand why men have a different bathroom lol I think it's a little curious you said it like that instead of "I don't understand why we separate bathroom based on gender

Ben Shapiro talking about it, I'll transcribe part of it here.

> I feel bad for Ye. There are people who are bipolar in my family, like when people are in manic episodes, which he _clearly_ is in a manic episode, they say things that are insane and they think that nobody can tell them what to do and the more insane it is and the more people disapprove the more they do it. And they do crazy stuff and when he comes out of the manic episode it's ... it's going to be really really bad for him.

Someone then asked Shapiro, "would you debate with him [Ye]" and his response was "I won't debate with people who are mentally ill".

---

That seems like a pretty rational, reasoned response, and I'm not sure why you think he was harmed in some way.

Furthermore, what you're trying to argue here is that victims of rape should be protected from the word rape. No, the need to be protected from the _ACT_ of rape, how does one do that without talking about rape?

If a victim of rape feels harm from the very utterance of the word rape, that's a mental problem that should be dealt with through therapy, not by making it more difficult to protect from the _ACT_ of rape by making it more difficult to speak about it.

We have 100's of years of common law to better vet out what types of speech have a tendency to result in violence, and there's a reason why the things you're claiming result in violence are not found on that list.

Hey! Could you elaborate a bit more on what docs are missing?
An aside, but I get sad when I see how much tension people have in their hands when they are typing. As a pianist this is the cardinal sin!

Hand size and posture do vary a lot so looking for the right setup is important but learning to be ultra relaxed and effortless in your typing (and chording) is much more portable
Which is why they're excluded from the definition of free speech pretty much everywhere?
This is indeed how I have read books, recently. I installed an old Kindle app on the PC, and configured it with my Amazon account. I download the books through the app, then start Calibre with the deDRM plugin which will find my private key directly in the Kindle directory, and convert the books to epub. I then send them to my Kobo reader via USB.
This might be where our experiences differ. Our workloads often had strong graphical / visialization components. We ran a mix of Sun and Apple machines. We tried some SGI as well but found them less suited. We moved to x86 with (for that time) highend GPUs because of pricing as wel as better/cheaper connectivity and toolchain support for what would now be called IoT.

We ran some Linux, purely as basic unix stations.
Is it legal to spoof radar, clear the DFS channels of other users, and then use those channels for your own devices? I could see that being useful in dense 5GHz environments, so long as you don’t mind being a selfish bastard/bitch.
The key thing to understand about Google (the search product) is that it does search somewhat well but it is extremely bad at synthesis. When it comes to big data, synthesis is just as important as search. The UX with traditional 2000-era search engines involves the user being given a library's worth of information rabbit holes to dig through. With synthesis engines, the UX is completely different and they might even be solving different user problems.

As per your example, nobody currently uses Google as a way to draft letters, but rather as a way to learn how to draft letters. I think the distinction is pretty key in understanding the difference between the two problem spaces. I would think that "write me a letter" is a problem that isn't in Google's domain. I do not think synthesis engines will necessarily replace search engines, but the two will both be useful.

The premise of Google's interaction design is that you will be taken to an external resource. Google in recent years has started adding widgets and blurbs at the top of the search results for common things like stocks, covid-cases chart, weather, etc. but this synthesized content isn't their primary focus and are likely hard-coded to a large extent.
The Nazi bar parable states that you have to immediately kick the guy out, physically, otherwise it quickly "turns into a Nazi bar".
Channel 4. I prefer these older episodes too.
As a total amateur when it comes to electronics, let alone radio, what do you think would be the consequences if one were to hack their openwrt router to ignore dfs and just use the reserved channels without checking for radar? Not on a huge corporate network, just something like a single suburban home. Would the interruptions from interference of radar be less intrusive than the drops from changing channel? And is that sort of violation the kind of thing your local regulator would be scanning for and send someone out to shut you down?

Obviously it would be illegal, and I promise I'm not gonna do it whatever your answer is :p

Monopoly is an extremely crude model of the real world. To strain the analogy further, why are you always transferring wins to player A? A better model is to just let both players keep whatever they have at the end of each game and use it to start the next game. Oh, and also at the end of each game you die and are replaced with a completely different person.

But none of this matters because Monopoly is not real life.

The wealthy used to amass real physical resources; ores, livestock, land, people... Now we mostly have them chasing digital zeroes in a bank account. It really is much better. So some people buy a yacht every now and again? That's great! Yachtmakers have a reason to go to work every day and the world keeps spinning.

If you think there should be a cap on the total amount of zeroes anyone can hold at one time I totally get where you're coming from, but I don't get the obsession with taking a cut when someone dies beyond the normal cut we take when people just transfer wealth to eachother because a clever person will just make a plan to do this before they die and that is unfair to folks that aren't so clever.
From the article

> D also has a @nogc mode, but it feels like giving up on 60% of the language’s power.

Without the GC, D has exactly the same 'power' as Zig have..

I feel that the poster is a bit misleading: he chose Zig instead of D because Zig, being newer, is more fashionable, not because of an imaginary technical reason.

If there's a technical reason, it's not written in the article.
Imagine a car, but the trunk is always locked, and possibly also filled with equipment that sends everything the owner does with the car to the manufacturer. The owner can't use the trunk, as the manufacturer has the key.

This would be an outrageous, almost impossible situation in car "ownership", surely resulting in class action - "I want to use my car's trunk!". But, in computers/phones it's begrudgingly accepted or sometimes even argued for.

I'm not grateful to the manufacturer that I've been graciously allowed to use all of the car I bought, and only after a team of amazing volunteer locksmiths worked day and night adapting the trunk so anyone can use it.

Sure, buy a different car, right? But this also happens to be the safest and easiest one available to drive. And this isn't because the trunk is locked. The owner could equally lock it themselves, just like the rest of the car.

Would be great to use it like any other car, and chuck that potential spyware I'm paying extra in gas to haul around with me. Not thankful that the manufacturer didn't put a stronger lock on it. Actually, I've contempt for them.

> but GPT will never produce a bogus answer when google has the correct one.

What are you basing this assumption on? GPT can always generate a bogus answer, because its only notion of whether an answer is good or not is whether your prompt + that answer are statistically similar to text in its training corpus. The more text from the training corpus it resembles the better GPT will think the answer is. For more obscure topics, this means that the chances of it hallucinating based on similar sounding much more popular topics increases greatly.

This way of working also means that facts that appear more in the training corpus have a higher chance of being part of the model's outputs. For example, if the training corpus was not carefully curated to exclude vaccine conspiracy theories, there would be a good chance that the answer GPT gives to "autism is caused by ___" would be "vaccines", as this would likely be the most common answer in its training corpus. In contrast, Google's algorithms have more sophisticated biasing especially for these kinds of sensitive topics to ensure that more high-confidence sources are likelier to be top results, even if they are a minority of all the pages on the internet on that topic.
>... you probably read from another online commenter...

You are criticizing OP based on an evidence-less assumption that you have made about them.
Personally found that simply using the other hand for modifiers, moving whole hand laterally without bending the wrist and using thumb to hit the modifier, works much better for me, and afaik that (using the opposite hand) was the original design that impacted Emacs modifiers (with mirrored bucky bits on Knight and Space Cadet keyboards).

A bit of problem due to non-mirrored Alt/Meta (I unfortunately need that AltGr) and problem with laptops that often cut important keys on the right hand side, but reasonably good on full keyboard.

Is “oh those Episcopalians, so Satanic” a joke? I don’t think you can have a joke with the word “Episcopalian” in it. It’s just not a funny word, I mean, it’s a lot of effort to type. The rest don’t appear to have a punchline either - well, unless he was the punchline for the Russian one.

I think most Catholic humor is about guilt or their mom’s statue collections rather than calling people pedophiles, maybe he can try that. Or call them angelic instead.

Those who think C is inherently good can’t be convinced otherwise. Any argument will be dismissed with “programmers need do be better”. Any assertion will be dismissed as subjective, lacking data. Any data backed study from Microsoft [1] or Google [2], [3] will be dismissed as Big Tech hiring mediocre programmers. There will be vague references to “just use the right sanitizers”.

Ultimately we need to recognise that for some people, language is a core part of their identity. At that point criticising “their” language hurts them. If we’re talking to someone who feels this way, it’s best to politely say “is that so?” and gently disengage.

I know it’s tempting to think that we could show them just one compelling data point that will change their minds. But that’s not any more possible than convincing someone to stop believing in religion by pointing out factual inconsistencies in scripture. If you tell a committed Christian that Jesus couldn’t have been born in 0AD because Herod died in 4BC and the census they were travelling for happened in 7AD … is that going to make them reconsider everything about their religion? No, they’ll dismiss this as a minor issue that can be worked around. Same with $language programmers.

Programming langugaes make it to the mainstream due to having some killer app, or having really big corporate sponsorship, or being a native language of some big platform. So your parameters make this is a bit like the paperclip problem.

If your target is to make Lisp the #1 popular language and to do this by writing Lisp code, one way would be to create a product that makes enough money to become the biggest tech company, keep control of the it, and then task management to surpass or take down competing tech platforms and languages.
I think Skolem's initial intent in showing the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem (that every structure which has an infinite model has a countably infinite model) was to develop a theory of reals which did not use uncountability.
generally speaking that would fall under harassment.
It wouldn't though, as it didn't pop up in the exceptionally large phase 3 trials.

It certainly didn't work in Europe, where most countries have anti-extremist speech laws, and many specifically persecute open manifestations of Nazi ideology and symbolism.

Did anyone get the "Gitpod Online Demo" to work?

https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/apitable/apitable

Takes well over 2 minutes to start up and then asks for a username/password which is written under installation: admin@apitable.com / Apitable2022

As far as I can see it is a somewhat buggy but interesting and comprehensive product. Instead of relying on Gitpod for demo, I would buy some dedicated, faster hosting and make a demo that didn't require a login.
1 its not "him"

2 you gave openai your personal information?
I can tell which group you identify with by the bias in your comment. ;)

I have been on the fence about this whole subject, and I have read quite extensively. At least, get the facts straight.

Large groups of people classify people by their gender at birth, and 1) would disagree that this distinction is social in nature (eg. all religions identify the gender thus, and the source [at least from the POV of the adherents] is not social. 2) Would also disagree that it has historically been socially constructed differently in different culture. You won't find any example where such a norm became dominant, and you won't find any society which lasted more than 50 years after such ideas became even speakable in public.

More than that, many will disagree whether "identifying" with something (such as being a girl) is any more "real" than liking ice cream; They definitely do not consider it to be a legitimate source of defining an identity. (As legit as saying a girl is someone who identifies with Pecan ice cream - its not "which aspect of biological sex should be the basis", but "does this aspect even exist?")
Yes: accruing a large and diverse enough training set where true and false facts are correctly labeled. The GPT models require enormous amounts of text to be trained on, so manually adding true/false labels to every part of every sentence is impossible (and automatically doing it would require exactly the AI we are trying to train).

A revolution in this area would require some entirely new training algorithm that can reach GPT-levels of fidelity while using magnitudes less training material. An even bigger GPT model trained on even more text is not going to do much in approaching a solution to this problem.
I wonder if it's worth adding a new `import lazy` statement for the next major release? I was about to suggest `import` being lazy by default and introducing an `import strict`, but that would fuel another 2->3 style nightmare.

Maybe that's where part of your confusion lies, the redux flow itself is completely synchronous. I've seen people write async dispatch(), then getting confused as to why it's not taking effect.
Probably writing lots of state machines in C helped. Redux at its core is basically just a state machine. Through functions (actions) you invoke the reducers which change the state. And then you use that state in your app.
I do agree that the documentation around redux is not very clear at the minute.
And I will add that the best tool is the one you understand the best.
The amount of water being driven into the atmosphere will have interesting impact on the local vegetation.

I find it interesting this never comes up in these articles discussing the impact of DC footprint.

More alarming is the immense heat load coming from many other sites. A 50MW site is literally a space heater taking 50MW of power and convecting it into the atmosphere.

I cannot imagine how that can avoid significant environmental impact.
