Season 2.

Everyone was too busy suspending disbelief or distracted by their phones/laptops to really notice. I gave the show the benefit of the doubt until the end of Season 4, when Tywin Lannister would have come in and eliminated Joffrey - his family's success relied on installing a competent king to keep the throne, not a useless brat coddled by his incompetent kids.

But then rewatching it for the second time, the lack of causality was apparent in Season 2. There's a reason stories don't generally kill main characters, and that's because viewers invest in them. If they do kill a main character, there has to be strong point that leads to even more character development. But once you see through the charade, the whole series is revealed as a series of vignettes that imply awesome character development, without ever actually doing the work to bring it to fruition. The show was able to coast in pop culture until season 8, when it was no longer possible to ignore that the characters weren't going anywhere.

I thought they would have taken a step back and applied more massaged production to HoD. After all, this franchise had an outsized amount of upmarket interest, only to crater at the end to the point of completely falling out of the zeitgeist. But rather, it seems like they continued the same tack of not really having a good story and filling in gaps of time in place of showing character development - like the episode where all the actors switched out and everyone is just older. Classic GoT!
Sounds absurd all right. But what's to prevent this from being the future of the internet?
This is super cool. Admittedly, I know nothing about creating concrete figures -- I imagine the real artistic work is in creating the mold? Can you share how that is done -- is a sculpture created and then surrounded by the mold material?
It’s not murder when the subject decided to die and planned it himself. It would have been suicide but he became too weak. It’s assisted suicide and far more humane than being forced to die of thirst or hunger which would be the other (but perfectly legal) option.

I do hope she gets resented by the aclu or another freedom fighting organization. This would be just the sort of precedent setting case to finally legalize the reasonable choice of dying with dignity. The law currently forces us to endure prolonged suffering when we receive a terminal diagnosis.

That seems unthinkingly cruel.
There's lots of legitimate email traffic that would find itself stuck in here. I could see business questions being answered and those answers actioned on. Or legitimate sales prospecting resulting in actual orders being placed. If you choose to let a tool do your communication for you by impersonating you to the extent that another person would reasonably expect that they're talking to you, then I'm not sure you can just say "lol, that just was my spam bot" as a way of getting out of it.

Gotta say I love these random Wikipedia articles that pop up. They're always something I didn't exactly need to know, but verge enough on the absurd that I just have to read.

Despite it being a big joke, I wonder what contemporary reviews of the book actually were, and how many copies ended up selling?
I don't think message content is weighted very heavily in modern spam filters...

Things like IP reputation, sender reputation, and various SPF-like headers are far more important.
I’d rather work on a codebase where strict standards were applied.

Banning “goto” is one of such, but also allowing to be utilized under certain conditions to write state machines for example.

I think we will miss innovations if we are dogmatic about features.

The starting point is that our brain was (probably) more or less as today, hence in principle capable of cognitive tasks of similar "quality" or complexity. But there is no doubt that what these capabilities were applied to might feel very exotic or even uncomfortable to us. E.g., Graber makes this point in particular in relation to social relations. A lot of modern society would probably look like totally brain damaged to them in terms of emotional / social intelligence. We have also the examples of very elaborate religious / theological discourse, which seems to have been a major preoccupation for the longest time.

On the other hand there are definitely cultural inflection points (like writing or numeracy) that seem to have reshaped the ability of a trained brain in a very short period of time. E.g. if you compare writings from the same civilization / region just several hundred years apart (Homeric poems vs Classic Athenian philosophy) its hard to believe its even the same species...

Re : lapse in meditation practice.

Concentration meditation. I used to do it as much as possible. Every day. Sometimes 2, 3, 6 times. I was kinda nuts. But my practice was strong.

Vipassana + concentration. My practice was extremely erratic.

Vipassana. Just vipassana. That's what I do now. My practice is very consistent. Haven't missed a day in a decade.

I think it's because vipassana is more compatible with the rest of my life than concentration. So there's no big transition. I'm basically doing vipassana, in varying degrees, all the time.

For what it's worth.

> extraordinary claim that ISPs are supplying routers with such a dangerous default configuration requires evidence

Its a legitimate expectation and potentially the norm to expect that I can ssh to my desktop with IPv6 w/o configuring my router.

The pitfall comes as a side effect of NAT inadvertently making port access rare.

I am looking for data, inbound blocked ipv6 seems unlikely but I only have anecdotal evidence.
I got pretty into Stable Diffusion soon after it came out. Like a lot of users, I tinkered around with different ways to run it, going the usual route of running on my weak local machine, then going on to runpod, then implementing my own custom solution.

What I came up with worked pretty well for me, so I created a site that allows users to upload custom models and run Stable Diffusion “in the cloud”.

I launched in early December and it ended up being more successful than I expected. I just got to $700 MRR, which I’m definitely happy about after years of side projects making exactly $0.

You prevent that by stopping any software in userland from being able to access the video path, which is an all or nothing thing.

Accessibility is only required if the app doesn't have system permissions, or if it's not carried out a privilege escalation. Though granted a privilege escalation might also be able to gain root to turn off setting a secure surface too (that's not enough to get past Widevine if that's been used but banks generally are not).

I don't think it should be repealed but its protections should only apply to users and content providers acting in good faith and best effort to proactively prevent harmful content. Revenge porn for a moderate example: not verifying the provenance if the content and validity of the submitter by the porn site or users who knowningly upvote or positively comment should not be protected. There needs to be an incentive beyond the goodwill of site owners and users. Look at twitter with elon changing policy with allowing harmful content but reducing its reach. He is able to do that due to this law.

Your metaphor fails to indicate the dependence of AI on data. AI can't appear in a void. There must be an environment producing its data, then AI development is conditioned on the environment. We forget about that when we just focus on the learned model. But without all the external support structure there is no AI.

Let's take a simple case - AlphaZero. Its environment was just a Go board, and rules simple. Knowing who won the game easy to test at the end of the game. So this led to a massive number of self-play games. In a few days AZ beat humans, and it was our own game, with 2 millennia head start.

This is how much the environment and the external support structure influences AI development. "Maximally likely output for a given input" depends on it.
there isn't much difference in the happy path. the problem comes when you lose a packet and have to recover. so that's at least one additional round trip.
Traditionally it wasn't, and even a "minor" upgrade was a significant undertaking for a large project. Maybe that's changed.

I might actually go and track down and use the math on some example, and actually go through it myself for the first time--if I had the time. But I'm just barely non-busy enough to read HN at all right now.

Maybe wavelength of light and a filter is actually having the same thing happening underneath, and is used often in common talk: if two people "are of the same wavelength", they can talk to each other. The closer they are, the easier. That's not physical, of course, but is an analogy for physics: if the receiving system has a colour filter on its input, the light you're sending needs to be of that wavelength (or frequency, since that's directly related) or close enough to get through.

So if you want to maximise that two people are a match for each other (the "right tool"), you want to minimize the "difference in wavelength".

But then I think there is more to it than just the wavelength: it's also about the characteristics of the sending object. An amplifier and speaker pair needs to have about the same impedance for the amplifier to be able to output sound of a fair volume level through the speaker. Such systems are coupled bidirectionally (the speaker can divert the energy back into the amplifier), and that's where I think it gets complicated to a level where you and me zone out unless we study the math.
it's simpler for the subclass.

the parent class however now has to deal with an arbitrary set of operation that the sub class can perform between the initializer block and the constructor method, so it's contract is overall much harder to define, because you can no longer be sure of your internal state in the constructor.
Pre-civilization animism like assigning will and consciousness to trees is more common-sensical compared to what you are doing.

The trouble is going from a mechanism to consciousness. Really not clear why consciousness is required for anything at all or how possibly in could emerge.

In a harmonious and fair world where moochers don’t exist and people are reasonable yes I think ideally an even shave seems fair (communists kind of do this) however in practice I’m not aware of unions pushing back on furloughs or layoffs and preferring all members getting an equal cut back on wages. There are probably exceptions but by and large even unions don’t make this choice for their members.

You must get business cards made and start distributing them to friends and family whenever you get the chance. Not for marketing - to brag and to be able to be mildly annoying.
One more way to bypass this requirement is to add a private static method that returns something you want to pass to super()/this().

And on the subject of Java restrictions that get in the way: if you use a local variable in an anonymous inner class or lambda, it needs to be final. This presents a problem for when you call a method that runs your lambda at some point before it returns and you want to modify some variables from there. The ugly workaround is to declare a final single-element array. It satisfies "needs to be final", but its single element can still be assigned to from anywhere since "final" only applies to the object reference to the array itself.
