She appears to have talent in connecting these data sources, but she's also in way over her head when it comes to motivation. On the world chessboard, she's a pawn. I can easily imagine that she's being egged on to do harm to the quasi-neutral but not isolated society that is now her life raft.
I have before, but that's very different from what I'm brainstorming here.
I think this line of argument, which is typical, that 'critical race theory' isn't being taught in schools is disingenuous. This is like saying they don't teach about gravity in grade school because they don't teach general relativity. The grade school-level materials that are derived from this stuff teach bumper sticker versions of the 'america is systemically racist blah blah' line of lefty claptrap. It's not just discussion of racial issues, it is using race as a line of critique of the founding ideas of the USA and western liberalism in general. So when people make this kind of argument, I know the extent of their knowledge on the topic is perhaps several rachel maddow segments.
It needs to be company ending, and it needs to be owed to the customers so that the courts cannot negotiate it down (preferably, it would be first priority when apportioning company assets in any bankruptcy proceedings). That would force them to price out insurance policies, and then decide if paying $2500/yr per customer (since TMO has a breach like this every few years…) is greater than or less than the value the get from the data in the first place.
I mean, this tracks with the experience of anyone who has gone citation/source tracking ... soooo much stuff is just not substantiated, and it's honestly really bad because it turns the mere existence of a citation into some sort appeal to authority fallacy.

A formative experience for me as a student was working (voluntarily) for an academic journal where the job was to check that a) all cited sources actually supported the supported claim, and, b) that all factual assertions had a source.

It's funny how most people don't quite get how wrong it really is to not care about sources and truth/facts this much. Sometimes you have to see the fallacies transpire yourself to truly appreciate how much it enables outright lying.

Um... That seems like a pretty high bar to me, actually. Are you forgetting about how much they've done to speed up the training of quite a lot of deep-learning models? And really the only competition is TPUs and other dedicated chips that, at the end of the day, are also just chips optimized for matrix operations. The graphics in state of the art video games? Were I fan of crypto, mining rigs? That's some pretty impactful tech right there.

The last line in the NYT article seems to confirm the anecdote, at least partially:

The other necessary fix here is making lenders liable for not verifying the identity of a borrower.

Individuals should not have to spend time proving they did not borrow money, lenders should be liable for any losses if they want to save money and extend credit with just a SSN/name/address verification.
Impossible, to me, tastes better than most grocery store burgers. Certainly better than the cook-from-frozen ones that it’s closest to in texture, plus they crisp up better on the grill.

If it were as cheap I don’t think I’d ever have another beef burger unless it was from a butcher/steakhouse.
I usually enjoy Newport but... this was rather underwhelming? It's basically "do a lot of proofs and study consistently not just 48hs before the exam".

Most if not all of my math and some comp-sci courses would require this, they were very proof-heavy, specially Algebra, Logic and Graph Theory, and there was no way you could even pass just studying for a week after let alone 48hs before.
You don't even need the Red Card. Go into your Target app, go to your account, click on "Target Circle" and then you scroll down to where it says "Vote for NonProfits".

I only learned about this a few months ago. I saw that I had accrued like 80 "votes" for non-profits. So you can go in there and distribute your votes to applicable non-profits in the area and presumably each vote is worth a fixed amount that is sent to them.

I know very little about the program other than using it as a consumer over the last few months. But hopefully that helps. I don't have the Target Red Card. But I use the app for savings, so I scan the app when I checkout at Target and i've been accruing these votes the whole time without realizing.
wtf does that have to do with car production, the topic at hand? also, for example me saying that the Germans (yes, the Germans) suffered unimaginable losses of 6 million people, which is a fact, in what twisted mind does stating this fact become "overly mourning"?
I've seen this "argument" offered up many times, but never see a satisfying conclusion.

The goal is to minimize suffering. What could you possibly do with the information that plants feel pain? Your options are to:

1. Die

2. Decide there are no perfect options and give up on minimizing harm completely

3. Do your best to pick a diet and lifestyle which minimizes harm with actionable heuristics

What exactly do you suggest?

I do not get the allure of cheap Chinese product on my doorstep in 2 days nor do I understand getting overly charged fine dining on my doorstep upside down and cold. But everyone else is addicted to those services.

I had a conversation with my wife about this. For context, I mostly agree with you, however this is something you and a spouse should agree on and have a plan for. We have two young girls, so there’s that. Additional context: my wife is Jewish by birth.

Another attempt to basically recreate forums at scale again, just like them all before.

If you can't moderate against your policies at scale, you'll be no more successful. Even using 'clever' AI and algorhythms is useless vs a manageable community size and good moderators.

You can't be a social platform for all and have it both ways in opening free speech up on all topics but with easy moderation.

There's a very good reason most internet forums had/have specific rules against discussing politics and religion, and here we are trying to include them at scale. Ha. This is especially hard if you want it to be publicly open for all on all topics.

I think this falls under the founders' shoulders. Some founders tried to "hack" their way to "fake out" large growth that they themselves know are not sustainable, just so they can fool the VCs they are raising money from.

Yeah, the NY times article[1] actually says it was the US embassy in France that requested it was banned "on the grounds it might assist Communist propaganda efforts".

I never said "solely".

Fact: The USD has large foreign demand which does not exist for other currencies.

Fact: If more currency is demanded, it strengthens the currency in a relative sense.

Fact: Therefore the USD is stronger than it would be otherwise, considering only local demand.

Your whole counterargument seems to be based on a misunderstanding of real vs nominal. To say 1 Euro > 1 USD means people in Euro earning countries have higher purchasing power is simply wrong. All currency values are nominal.

Fact: If USD money supply doubled overnight and all holders got 2x the amount and wages/prices adjusted automatically, the Euro would appreciate 2x against the dollar.

Fact: That does not mean Euro earning citizens have higher purchasing power. It's an entirely nominal change. 1 hour of labor in USD terms earns the same in purchasing power, regardless of the face value of currency. Same concept as a stock split

Fact: If Euro became the reserve currency tomorrow, Euro-holders would have more purchasing power due to foreign demand making each unit of currency more valuable in a relative sense than it was previously.

Fact: If USD lost reserve currency status, it would weaken relative to other currencies.

None of these are disputed, but you can believe whatever you want.

They do not. They simply do not. I know you won't believe it, but they don't (source: have sent two kids through grade school in exactly the kind of deep blue public school district you no doubt fear the most). They do spend a lot of time telling the kids in various frames to be nice to everyone, and that everyone has different backgrounds and that we should respect that stuff.

I don't know what your sourcing is, but... maybe get out there and speak to some teachers and talk to some kids? The world isn't remotely as messed up as you've been led to believe. Schools are nice places. Much nicer than the ones I attended, frankly.
That sounds like parts of Spain. I lived in the south of Spain for a winter as I wanted to escape true winter. I live in Lithuania, and winter to us means -25c. My thought process was 'Spain is warm'.

While I was there I think the coldest it got outside was 3c one night, in the day it was above 15c every day and almost all days were sunny. The thing is though the apartment had no insulation and the windows didn't close properly (I could put my finger through the gap). It wasn't that it was a run down apartment, the rest of it was really nice (amazing marble courtyard) - this is just how housing is there.

As such inside - with a electric heater on all the time we were home - it barely reached 18c. It was also very humid as it was by the sea, so the whole time we were so cold. Compare this to where we live in Lithuania, where we don't even turn the heating on until it reaches freezing outside. Winters in Spain are not warm.

It's also possible that wikipedia (and the editors there of) are more likely to be far-left aligned / knowledgeable -- thus leaving the far-right unaccounted for.

That said, I also see bans of accounts with few followers regularly being far-right (white supremacist jokes for instance). They may just not be able to gather large followings at this point and / or be on alternative platforms.
Fair enough, but in a way it's more false comparisons; investing billions into a tribal-agrarian society in the midst of civil and religious war is qualitatively different from investing it into an already industrialized society. And it's not like the absolute $$ investment was the sum total of what the US was doing in Germany and Japan. It came along with a whole package of political-economic moves to restructure investment and regulation, taking advantage of American hegemony in those regions.

Oof, emotions.

My uncle took receipt of a Lisa in the 80s but didn't have much use for it, so he gave it to our family. Lisa was my first computer. I used to use LisaDraw as a very primitive city builder: rectangles with circles to represent cars; boxes for buildings. I'd use the arrow keys to move things around. I can remember seeing the Lisa redraw pixels, top to bottom, as I pressed the keys.

By the time I moved on to my first Mac (Performa 638CD with SoftFPU installed), I learned more about Apple and understood the Lisa to be a failure in the market, but it will always hold a special place. I assume this is Pascal and I can't really follow it very well, but it's quite a special thing to read the inline comments written by engineers who paved the way for me and inspired me.

Well, I can't speak for Orwell but in a society like the one depicted in 1984 - having the ability to move physically with a car wouldn't have been deemed necessary. If you look at N.Korea or countries like it, for example, no one really owns cars unless it's required (in N. Korea's case, it is likely prohibited). And who says what is required? The state.

In fact, that type of mobility would have been considered a threat to "national security". Everyone would live near where they work, and the food would be rationed and delivered to where it was needed. Everyone would provide only the necessary things in service to the state.

Fun fact, for the majority of the year I don't travel further than 5km from where I live. And I don't own a car. Yet, I live in a democratic society. I have all the basic necessities within 2km, and everything else can be "delivered". We're only halfway there!

For the majority of the world, a car is a luxury and not always necessary. In the US, they built their infrastructure around having a car and thus, a car is necessary.

I thought it strange too. I saw what the issue was, and just "fixed" it be correcting the data in the CSV. For the lulz, I guess I could have played with the parser's options on deciding what is needed to be escaped. However, the data would have still been incorrect as the '\' is definitely not part of the desired content, so ultimately it was better to correct the input. i would kind of rather the import die than having the potential foot gun of '\' in a field for later sabotage.

> or are those small models completely unusable for anything?

Sadly, they really offer almost no value.

For the effort, you’re better off with an NLP framework like spacy.

You can play with the small neo gpt models on hugging face, eg. https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-neo-125M

…but, the tldr is they’re cute to play with, but practically, the content they can generate is short, inconsistent and full of errors.
This comparison probably doesn't make a lot of sense: the US's reconstruction of Japan is backlit by Japan being an industrialized nation with an educated workforce, in a country with basically no domestic conflict in the century prior to WW2. Afghanistan was and is not industrialized to nearly the same degree, has nowhere near the same degree of educational penetration, and has a long history of domestic conflict in the forms of colonialism and sectarian violence.

In other words: $1 in 1945 Japan goes much further in terms of development than $1 in 2000s Afghanistan.

I went from Apple Watch/Fitbit to Casios and mechanical watches, too. I remember when Microsoft Band first came out their commercial was showing people checking notifications in many scenarios, including with friends and family. I was like, yuck, I absolutely don't want to be distracted in these situations. A truly smart watch should actually do the opposite: block notifications when it can tell you're with family.

I've read several accounts written by Soviet defectors that mentioned that. Some of them huddled in their house or apartment, spooked by the idea they could just go anywhere, anywhen, without getting permission or even notifying anyone. A few of them eventually went back to the USSR, knowing what was in store for them if they returned, rather than stretch their wings.

For a lot of reasons, cloud providers will never tell you how they investigated or what they found out. Telling you only has downside - either they give away information about tools & techniques, or they leak PII of other customers, or you engage them in a protracted discussion which will suck time away from addressing other abuse complaints, etc. So you will never get detail. That doesn't mean that they didn't do anything, it just means that there is no upside for them to sharing details with you.
At least the old design (have not seen tear down of new design) seemed purpose built for schools It was relatively rugged with key components easily swapped.

Almost the entire thing. How about keyboards having an integrated pause play button but it only works for Apple Music if it’s the last responder in handling the event. On YouTube? Hijacked. Incoming phone call and you want to pause music? Nope, your Mac ANSWERS THE PHONE! I was finally fed up and installed a 3rd party app that forces pause play to only hit Apple Music.

I use my MBP through a USB-C dock with an external SSD attached and whenever Time Machine or CCC triggers a backup my audio starts skipping. Sure, that isn’t Apple Music’s fault, but it’s part of the ecosystem and that kind of performance should be considered when designing the system.

And then the UI. All web views with click delay.

I like exploring jazz and electronic genres but navigating and scrolling to start one sub-genre takes like 30 seconds. There’s no way to pin genres that you like or hide genres you don’t care about.

I feel like my collection of music from 2000s is gone, even though it was uploaded to the cloud or something … through some apple program 10 years ago. I still have the metadata of my collection but even that is just a facade.
