I work with primarily academic types, and I’m careful to always use soft and work-neutral language as well as a few tricks I have learned to kinda “hack” out of their typical work mode and into their regular personality.

I’m notorious for chitchat, and one of my favorite ones is “What have you been doing for fun lately?” because of how useful it is for starting pleasant conversations. I’ve learned that a lot of graduates here (DC) like video gaming, hiking, and traveling.

I never say “we need to get X done by Y” with young people. I say “Ok, the next milestone task for us is X. How are we feeling about getting that done around or even before Y?” And with time, people learn that I want the honest answer, not the sugar coat. You can’t BS a BSer, as it goes.

Anyhow, my main thing is: when someone starts being weird or evasive when I’m asking about leisure, I assume that there’s a stressor in their life and often I’ll tell them exactly that. Sometimes they come clean, and say they feel the imposter syndrome (always the Ivy Leaguers) or that they don’t feel connected to the work and significance of it, or sometimes it’s just personal business and not for me to get involved with. I think it’s just a learned behavior with the young generations to always stay at a high velocity rather than taking time to just BE worried about their family or health or whatever it is, and let it happen and move on. Instead, they just kinda put it on a plate in their mind and keep scurrying forward to the things they think they’re supposed to be doing.

A lot of employers/managers don’t think like I do, but I think: if you’re so stressed out that your hands are shaking, I don’t want you poring over medical/financial/industrial data. You’re a huge liability, and you should be getting rested and relaxed to do this stuff. The culture has failed them in teaching them NOT to address these things as crucially important in their lives, or has robbed them of the financial stability to consider doing sk in the first place.

Anyhow. Let’s clock out early, lol.
Perhaps don't advocate making good things in life shittier in order to make comparatively shit options you happen to approve of look good by comparison? If you want public transport to be an even barely acceptable alternative to cars:

- Make it door to door, no connections, no hiking to or from a station/stop/port at either end

- Make it on demand, no timetables or shortages

- Make it actually show up, and not be susceptible to strikes or moderately bad weather

- Make a ticket cost the same as or less than the cost in petrol (or electricity) for the same journey

- Make it private, without the need to be crammed into a box with strangers

These aren't unreasonable requirements, or some utopia situation. They're all things that personal cars provide that trains, planes, taxis, subways, and busses frequently (perhaps generally?) do not. I don't even commute, I work entirely remotely, and your proposal would still be a massive decrease in my quality of life whether it achieved your objective or not.

If you want alternatives to be more popular, make them better than the status quo for every individual rather than just waving at "the world in general" and saying it's better for that/them.

If you look up "AM/FM radio" on Amazon, you'll see plenty of examples. It does not include shortwave, unless specifically labelled "AM/FM/SW". Whether LW is included or not varies, probably because LW isn't used for broadcasting in US.

I don't think it's just a US or NA thing. In my experience, at least, every casual consumer radio I ever handled that had English labels on it, outside of vintage stuff, used this terminology. More advanced consumer radios like Tecsun will usually avoid "AM" and use LW/MW/SW as appropriate, but then still refer to VHF as FM.
> Is the future just a bunch of narcissistic high achievers accumulating more and more wealth over a bunch of perfectly pacified low income workers?

That's past, present, and future, though the pacification is never quite perfect, because the separation between groups isn't. Achievers and pacified overlap in the same pool, which is why I think generally we should all piss in it less.
> Except the Amazon delivery one, which doesn't fit the rest of the post since there's no step where they increase the charge.

Also, I stopped using Amazon entirely a couple of years ago now, mostly moving toward ordering directly from manufacturers. Do you know what I didn't have to give up? Fast, inexpensive shipping.
should GPT be putting a signature into any text it produces, a kind of watermark or attestation? it could be even embedded in the characters themselves. Obviously not foolproof as you can simply remove it but for those who forget it would be an instant tell that some or all of a text came from AI. conversely human authors could put an attestation of human origin into any text. then text missing the attestation
becomes suspect.
The market value of being a wordcel is about about to drop to nothing. This will be very shocking to many people who thought that they were thinking.

A hundred copyright law violations baked into a photocopier would be a lot, right? Shouldn’t we guarantee the number is zero, and not dismiss the problem even if it seems like it should be uncommon? Since the network trainers can’t control what images users produce with the network once it’s public, there’s no ability to predict how often it reproduces a copyrighted image.

> This seems to mostly happen

Sounds like duplicate images caused a minority ~25% of the cases? (My calculation: 1-819/1063) If so, then the network is memorizing single images, which we know is theoretically possible when images are sparse in the network’s latent space. What needs to happen to prevent this type of memorization?

Society of the Spectacle. The revolution will not be televised.
He claimed that a "latent schizophrenic impulse" to "impart consciousness" where it isn't present is exploitable through virtue of claiming that it is "being exploited" and not just that but that it was so bad that it is "severe and dangerous" and that people "don't just want to believe" but that "their animal psychology primes them" and so the exploitable hole is a "specific cognitive vulnerability" which is "highly pernicious."

You seem to be trying to make his claim be about attribution rates, an exceedingly lesser claim, wherein your proposal that I am out of context would have some merit. His claim was far far broader than that.

You need to calculate utilities, not attribution rates, in order to be able to make the claims he is trying to make. If you knew this, but still think I am wrong, then you are making a blunder. The context of this task is one of imperfect information. This means you need to do the evaluation relative to information state, not state. For several reasons, failure to do this is going to lead you to misleading and inaccurate estimation. Reach probabilities are one reason, because you have to scale the outcomes by the probability of getting to that information state. Another is that because you start in an information state, not with full knowledge of the result of the classification, you can't actually judge as if you knew which classification situation you were in. So all relevant possibilities have to be considered. For example, one I left out is the false negatives case: a person killed by a camouflaged solider, because they misidentified it as being inanimate, when it wasn't.
> I don't know, people training themselves by trying to emulate well known or successful artists and styles has long been a thing

Which is not the same as memorizing and reproducing a work, which is equivalent to, say, memorizing and covering/performing a song, something which is well understood to be a violation of copyright law.

> Or tattoo artists giving people tattoos of movies characters and scenes.

Which violates copyright.

> Or the multiple times in school that an art assignment involved more or less copying or reinterpretation of an existing work.

Also violates copyright, but is probably covered by a fair use defense due to the scholarship aspect of the work.

Happy to help! Yeah, the point is it not all about the code, but also how you work in professional corporate environment and how productive you will be in that environment. That is why college and projects are separated out.
My friend group started using Discord during the pandemic to continue our previously-in-person RPG sessions.

I don't know how people find it tolerable. It'd kill the battery of a Macbook that could handle 6-8 hours of actual work (this is pre-M1) or 10ish hours of playing Netflix or whatever, in 2 hours flat, fans whirring madly the whole time. WTF. And it wasn't just one of us, and it wasn't just Macs, anyone on a battery-powered device saw their battery life cut to a sliver of what it should be. To make matters worse, nearly every session saw at least one person's Discord simply crash and have to restart. What is this, the 1990s?

I was video-chatting in goddamn 2002 on a potato. Yeah the resolution was ass, but it's not like this is some totally new, hyper-advanced tech. It should have gotten far more power efficient! Look how great codecs are now! Video chat shouldn't burn my battery like I'm having it calculate digits of Pi in a hot loop on 20 threads plus a hundred graphics-chip threads.

It is great to see this getting more attention. One of the best routines I started was morning yoga. But it is cold here in Boston, and I have mild seasonal affect disorder. So I got some 250W IR heat lamps and a UV light therapy box to try to simulate sunlight on gloomy days while I do morning yoga. I usually also have some mild eye trouble and dryness in the winter (probably a mix of cycling in the cold, and being indoors). The eye and mood symptoms have pretty much disappeared since using the lights.
Do they make left turns at unprotected 4 lane roads?
> I would hope (at least at a physics level)

I think that's all this movement has: hope, but without anything real to back it up.

Virtue signaling seems to be their solution. I'm all for grounding Bill Gates to use a train to go anywhere, but I think we should have a serious discussion on the subject, with facts and not just "let's hope this works".
Your choice to be generous is a kind and good one.

I don't have great insight into copyright issues, but as one who loves music and used to play a lot of it, I'm right there with you on the "it's all bad news over here".

It seems to me that the current crop of art generators ape styles but don't come up with their own.

I worry that if they put most human artists out of work, the arts will stagnate badly.

I guess we'll see.
It looks like the shrug emoji which given the complexity of the original, I can sympathize.
Dinosaurs (non-avian) lived 66 million years ago+. The conditions that can preserve DNA longer is cold which is why Mammoth DNA in permafrost was able to be recovered. There's no permafrost from 66 million years ago. There's no means by which pre-avian dinosaur DNA might be preserved.
There's nothing you can really trust. Everyone has some interest or other. Ontop of that the things people consider essential don't always turn out to merit the emphasis (Norden bombsight eg?)

I think there's historical evidence that the US used bribery to get aircraft sold in the distant past and no doubt other countries have too so it would be odd to think that political and other pressures are now suddenly non-existent because we're better human beings than before.

You cannot really even trust pilots because they will want Raybans and iPhones even when the cheaper generic sunglasses and phones do the job. They are only the top of the pyramid of people that have to look after the system.
Why will academic R&D begin falling below the rate of inflation? I get that it can't outpace it forever without overtaking the economy.

They try to put them anywhere they can, as close as they can get. Numbers and distance seem to matter. They might also be counting on losing a number of them.

It's also rumoured that some large portion of Russian losses are due to their own anti air. So coordination is difficult.

The efficient way to publish multi-arch containers from GitHub Actions
Never heard of that are the restrictions permanent?
In 2017, I thought multi-stage builds were one of the most important things we'd see for Docker builds. Today I wrote up why I think multi-arch builds are just as important, and how you can start implementing them in your GitHub Actions.

I think about this as another of those "industries" in which a lot people want to get into. Similar to art, animation, acting, screen writing, recording artist music; I suppose any creative industries will be like this.

All these 'industries' become exploitative (possibly capitalism has something to do with how this happens. but let's stay on topic)

So then, I consider this pattern of exploitation -- of "put up with it or get out", to be a sort of collective (or cultural, organizational) trauma in the sense that it self-perpetuates.

People join, get overworked, become traumatized, and then some make it through. Now, once on the other side, they proceed to overwork newcomers.

It's very common to think "I made it through, and I've become what I am because of those experiences" a rationalization of the trauma.

But I wonder about them who make it... was it because of overworked abuse, or was it in spite of it?

That's very different from the god described in the bible or the quran.

There was this one time where god got so mad, he flooded the whole earth, killing everyone. He was upset because people weren't worshipping him enough. So basically like Stalin, but worse.

Running calculations are one thing, but for Halo 2 it was done at build time.
Yup. We can also surmise that lack of hard work is guaranteed to not work. So if you need to grow hard work seems like the better option.
> It takes a serious amount of hubris to look at the world and think that we can just wave a magic wand and make public transit work

It takes a serious amount of hubris to look at the world and not See the fact that most people never had a car and never will. Do you realise that poor people all over the world rely on public transport to survive?

There are 190 countries in the world. United states has 6th highest car ownership per person. 139 countries that Less Than Half cars per person that US does.

US has 0.9 cars PP, Israel has 0.4, China 0.2 India 0.06

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_...

Yes, it is true that most of Europe has > 0.5 cars PP. So in a way it's a measure of wealth.

More Accurate way of examining this issue, it distance driven per year per person, and I was not able to find such statistics.
Back when I was in grad school there was a whole set of research people who just lived at the university - but I noticed, they'd didn't really do a whole lot of work. They were just always there, always on hand when the tenured PI showed up to be noticed, and so on. They'd mastered the art of appearing to be dogged 24-7 nose-to-the-grindstone researchers, but it was really just a relaxed little club. Most of their energy was going into cultivating relationships that would aid their career trajectories, rather than into doing groundbreaking innovative research.

They were often quite resentful of people who showed up, worked hard and got results, but who didn't hang around for the social interaction game as they had other things to do with their free time.

The real problem with academics (at least for me) was the lack of any real academic freedom - working 24-7 on something and making sacrifices towards a goal you think is really useful and worthwhile is one thing, but doing it just because there's a pool of funding available for something? That's not worth the bother. In that case it's just a job, a means of earning a living doing some tedious repetitive work, and why spend more than 30-40 hours a week on that?

Academic funding is all controlled by government bureaucrats and corporate executives, and maybe some politicians with special interests, and if they're not interested in supporting research into your field of interest, you might as well forget about it, unless you can finance a million-dollar-a-year research lab on your own. I suppose it's possible, but not very common.

Regardless, not many people seem to end up making money doing something they really care about, unfortunately. Overwork and risking burnout might be part of the price you have to pay to get there, at least in our rather dystopian modern American society.

The US does this in every instance where passion is involved. Passionate people, especially those who are passionate about their work, are more easily convinced to take less pay because they are "passionate" and want to see their work come to fruition.

Exploitation of youthful passion for profit is basically the centerpiece of how America beats its workers into submission and slowly breaks down their expectations for anything good in the workplace. The worse condition the workers are willing to accept, the more profit to be made off of their labor.
They should have defined the terminology. A rocket _engine_ is turbomachinery. A rocket _motor_ is a lump of solid propellant in a pressure vessel.
I'm guessing because it's a column and the style is for artwork illustration.
A little while back, I was working with a startup that built an AI note taking app. They offered several integrations for their customers, and at the time I wished that there was a Zapier alternative that allowed for a multi-tenant approach (i.e. build a pipeline that each customer could independently hook into with their own external accounts).

I haven't had a chance to go through your site yet, but that would be a killer feature to have.
In your example, sizeof works because the type of foo is int[n], so I'm not sure what point you're making. It's still true that the way sizeof works depends solely on the static type of the expression that it is applied to - if it's an array, you get the actual size, including the necessary dynamic computation if it's a VLA, and if it's a pointer, you get the size of a pointer even if it points to an array.
Oh no, not the right wing governments.
Android's Mastodon choices are indeed rather... surprisingly underwhelming. For many reasons, not just lack of flair. It feels odd to me too.

>But more broadly they all just look and especially feel inert and rigid. Nothing shrinks or stretches. There’s no life to them.

I've been disabling animations on my phone for a few months now, and oh boy. Give me more of that dead, lifeless feel please.

It's so much faster, and it makes my phone into more of a tool rather than a fancy toy that sometimes gets in my way for no discernible reason or benefit.

I get why life-full things are popular, but it's increasingly smelling like a form of addiction-feeding to me.

Also UI design still hasn't recovered from the absurdities that excessively flat, whitespace-heavy nonsense forced on the world. It's slowly regaining sanity, but I'm kinda glad there are a mountain of Android apps that have not followed along.

I don't know, it's a little bit different from the other side of the lectern. As a professor, I am mindful of keeping a work-life balance in my classroom. I try not to over-assign homework, and I'm mindful that students have lives outside of the classroom, so I'm flexible with deadlines and other minutia.

Even still, I'll have students emailing me for more work. They want to do research, get involved in competitions, write a paper, do independent studies. Every semester I have to approve overloads for students who want to take more classes. Individual institutions aren't forcing these students (who are often the most qualified of the qualified) to take on all this extra work. It's more like, the whole system is a race to the top for them. It's hard to disentangle that drive from industry and the economic system and blame it just on academia. After all, why do they want to take these extra classes? To be better job applicants.

To simplify things, think of Stripe as an facilitator in the dispute process. Stripe has no influence over the outcome—it's at the sole discretion of the cardholder's bank. Stripe deducts a dispute fee to cover the cost charged to us for dispute submission.

In the past, we returned this fee even though the card networks don't reimburse us. This is no longer the case (we now pass through the fee).

I don't think this is controversial at all. Many of our users are the exact same way. For them, the value add can be a few different things: (1) searching across multiple accounts on the same platform, (2) better search than existing platforms (here’s an example of Needl compared to Gmail: https://imgur.com/a/3ZX8f8Q), and (3) general speed improvements.
