...just grew here with the capacity to develop myths and theories. If a theory of an invisible guy drives progress, then that's what works. Machines without our motivations will find themselves simply contributing to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, making no sense of progress, and shutting themselves down. We will embed our myths on them to keep going. Enjoy the 2nd law, we grew here for it.
I read something recently here, comparing this phenomenon to the phenomenon of overfitting.

The gist is that we want to leverage our ability to measure things that are easy to measure, which are correlated with things that are hard to measure, and then optimize for those things. The downside being that you will always implicitly be sacrificing the things you don't/can't measure, and these sacrifices tend to occur in greater marginal amounts as the low hanging fruit gets eaten.

There are obviously interventions which are so ill convceived that they have no place being implemented in the first place, but this mechanism applies to every intervention eventually.
If you search for wtallis in this thread you'll find a technical reason for soldered ram. Can't respond with a link since on mobile, did it several hours ago at home though.
Not personally a fan of rave culture, but might they have more experience with psychedelics that most doctors?
Over 9 years of Scala here. Scala definitely has quite a few warts.
I did not know that this could reasonably be done. For some reason it did not occur to me that you could break the chicken and egg problem by simply linking to libdl dynamically; Go binaries are usually static and I didn't even realize it had a mechanism for dynamically linking like this.

This is pretty cool because you can already do this sort of thing on Windows (using the syscall package, since the Windows Loader is always available from kernel32 anyways) and I use it all the time. Probably the most consequential thing I've done with it is my WebView 2 bindings. But with this, you could probably do the same thing on Linux and Mac with GtkWebkit and ... WebKit, and get a native HTML window without CGo on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Perhaps this has already been done (haven't paid attention) but it would make a pretty nice way to get a UI going in Go. (It's not like I'm a fan of using HTML UIs for native apps, but it works pretty well if you don't overdo it, and using native widgets on a given platform does mess up predictability a bit, but it saves disk space at least.)
I have all sorts of headphones. Open backs, half-open, closed backs, some of them are absolutely amazing.

I'd still mostly rather not wear anything most of the time. This is especially true those times when the laptop speakers prove the most useful - when I'm just chilling out, possibly in bed. I'd also rather not have to deal with wires during those times.

My main issue is not so much warmth but mostly the fact that my ears are covered, simple as that. I'm not neurotic about it but I prefer to have them open. Sometimes I'll take the sound quality hit and wear my bone conducing headset over wearing great sounding headphones.
> Technology allows someone with 4 hrs of training to accomplish what it took a master with 20 years in close to the same time.

I see, so that must mean that one can become a fully qualified lawyer, medical doctor, surgeon or a financial advisor in just 4 hours by using AI's like ChatGPT? Wow! /s

Sounds just like the infinite 'Learn X in 24 hours' scam courses. But this time with the AI snake oil label.
> These are not additional sexes.
> For example, a male with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is still male.

Only by arbitrary definition of the abstraction we use. If we instead defined maleness as the ability to inseminate women and produce viable offspring they wouldn't count. If we defined it by having male genitalia then people with androgen insensitivity syndrome wouldn't count.

Male and Female are human terms we've chosen to categorize animals, but nature doesn't give a flying fuck about our definitions.

> We do not, nor anything even remotely close to that.

Obviously. This is called a 'hypothetical' or a 'thought experiment'. We use these to test the suitability of our mental frameworks of understanding. In this specific instance, I'm asking you to pretend this is true to see if your reasoning holds up, of if there is cognitive dissonance suggestive of a flawed model.
Oh please, here come the green text usernames coming in to defend the greatest threat to civil liberties the world has ever known. The "interests of the Untied States" is not the same is the interests of its people or the people of earth. It really just the interests of the military, industrial, academic complex that is raping and killing the planet.
I was sceptical about tailwind for a long time for precisely this reason, it does looks verbose, and that was until I used it. The tagline "design without leaving html" is true and where all the productivity comes from.
What a mean spirited comment.
> Cost vs benefit is the main thing that people consider when making decisions.

I don't know what people you are talking about, but my experience is so different from this that I suspect your conclusion is purely platonic. You expect people to decide based on a cost/benefit analysis, or you hear people telling you they do.

People almost never do a cost/benefit analysis. On the best cases, they analyze one of that pair.
Yeah the default behavior is to switch back. It’s possible to pin a goroutine to a thread with runtime.LockOSThread(). However I don’t believe it avoids the stack switching. It’s purpose it to make sure that Thread Local Storage works properly. The runtime is pretty smart though so it might already do the optimization you suggested in someway. I know it has a goroutine specifically for monitoring if a thread is stuck in a external call and therefore spawns a new thread to continue work (sysmon)
If they had removed the Further Restrictions clause and still called it the AGPLv3, then they would have infringed on the FSF’s trademarks. The FSF grants anyone a license to use the language of the GPL, LGPL and AGPL licenses however they want, provided they either use the whole thing under the proper name, or they use only the parts they want under a name of their own.
No, that's more a software firewall like Little Snitch or GlassWire. It's not a local Pihole kind of thing.

> Your expanded “calculator” paradigm seems unfounded.

Please explain. GPT makes a utility out something that previously was not. The GP didn't say it was exact.
Sexual dimorphism in humans has significant overlap. Many females are well above average male strength and many men are well below average female strength. I therefore submit that it doesn't really make any sense to use this as a basis for what constitutes a "safe space".
OP brought it up in a thread explicitly about EBT. It's extremely clear what he was trying to say. If he was just talking about pocket money then what was the point in bringing it up?

Patches are not the only contribution, although I am sure that while not every OSS projects get many, the most visible ones do get also Patches. Anyway whatabout the early testing, bugfiling, documentation and helping others to understand how to use these projects. A lot of people get involved with these activites because they want to support an OSS Project and often these, (especially testing early releases and Developer advocacy) are more important than a patch contribution for the success of the project and the chance for it to become profitable.
I have never had a doctor test my neurotransmitter levels, and have seen several for depression over the course of my life. For the most part, though, mine has been "mild" enough that I've been treated by general doctors and not psychiatrists (though therapy was involved for a time).

I do wish that there was a shorter check-in period. SSRIs do take 30-45 days to fully kick in, but if they are causing harm, that starts much sooner. I was on two that made me worse, one just gave me headaches for the two weeks that I took it, and the other triggered episodes of intense anger within two days.

Lexapro has been a life saver for me, though I know others for whom it didn't work. I think if I had felt my doctor was more involved than the 6 week check in, I might have felt a bit less alone during some of those times wondering if I was experiencing side effects or simply my illness.
In this, the Navy was deceived. Tests on animals would later show that fresh lime juice has a quarter of the scurvy-fighting power of fresh lemon juice.

> (inexplicably) conservative wing of Trek fandom was outraged that a show about happy space communists solving problems while remaining friends suddenly “got woke.” Good, old-fashioned Star Trek at least had the good grace to cloak its progressivism in allegory that could slide past the otherwise closed minds of some of its viewers.

For all the great points raised in the article, I was struck my the deliberate meanness of these lines. Can someone tell me who this was meant to appeal to? Why are people writing like this? Have we lost all hope of any sort of peace in this so called 'culture' war? Its ironic because the writer starts by how grim and militaristic Picard is and then launches that missile above at unsuspecting readers!
They aren't diametrically opposed, though OO methods obscure function composition (point-free style).
Please be considerate with your words. Going on strike simultaneously for trains, buses, trams, schools and recently air controllers is a tradition reserved for us French.
> It only gives new capabilities, they remove nothing.

This is not how technology works in the world. See the arguments of for example McLuhan. Technologies are appendages for the human body or intellect, and at the same time they numb the part of that they amplify.

Also the point of the Architecture Astronauts idea is that they don't produce working systems. It's a specific pejorative, it doesn't refer generally to people that work at a high-level without harming the systems they engage with.
"Other animals"

Most other animals (at least mammals with teeth) don't live as long. Many do suffer from dental issues if untreated. For example, horses may live into their 30s in domestic settings, which include dental care. Wild horses typically live 15-20 years. If they survive other perils, one of the causes of their earlier death can be starvation or malnourishment due to not being able to chew their food.
The repl it provides is pretty close. You can also use special comments to designate cells and just run those parts of a larger program in isolation with a repl, which I have used for debugging
“Surely” seems a bit over-confident unless you’ve seen some research, but it does seem likely.
The other one was the recent crashing of the NOTAM system and the grounding of commercial air traffic. I’m going out on a limb and guessing there is more to the story we aren’t being told about.
Can corporations be owned, or is that tantamount to slavery?
> If society is 99% people who refuse to associate with a holocaust denier and 1% deniers then what happens?

That's a great question. In short, the 99% of people should tolerate the 1%. They don't need to choose to associate with them, but don't take action against them to silence them.

> I am not a philosopher and I have no idea how to reason about situations where individual rights for individuals and groups of individuals clash.

I think this quote is probably appropriate:

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." - John Stuart Mill
Distill was one of the best experiments in publishing of the last decade, no irony. Unfortunately, it’s worth reflecting on why they are on a hiatus that I fear will be (understandably) permanent.

When I was an academic, I had the privilege of participating in the process of producing one article for Distill, and the amount of work was equivalent to 3-5x the work of any one single publication in other venues. I’m not sure that’s avoidable to achieve the quality that Distill strives for, but it means the incentives are all pointed against it.

A direct consequence of working on an environment with bad incentives is that people there will burn out, which is part of what I think happened.
I stopped getting cavities when I stopped rinsing all of the fluoride away after brushing my teeth. If you wish to rinse, do so after a few minutes. I told this to my dentist and he said he wished that was more common knowledge, yet he's never mentioned it to me. Go figure.
I can’t find any evidence of JD Vance supporting such policies in either his platform or his voting record. I don’t think just making things up counts as steel manning.

Incidentally, in the USA Congress has delegated the power to regulate rail safety to the Executive branch which last I knew was controlled by the Good Guys. So I’m really at a loss how to show that this has anything to do with a freshman senator in the minority. I begin to think nobody else knows how to either. The miasma theory of Vance’s affiliation with the Bad Guys somehow making bad things happen in his state really is the best argument anyone has presented here.

The real problem is that they picked the AGPL, which has the Further Restrictions clause. If they didn’t want that, then they should have picked something else. They could have created a custom license, but instead they proudly announced that they were choosing the AGPL, and they gained significant goodwill from that. This lawsuit demonstrates that they are either incompetent, or that they were attempting to use the AGPL in a fraudulent way.
Star Trek was always hopeful though, even back in the 60s when the civil rights movement was in full swing, during a cultural revolution, and in the middle of the Vietnam war.

Star Trek wasn't loved for its utopian ideals because people had a lot of hope for the world, it was loved because it helped give them hope that they could create such a world if they tried.
Indeed. As is Jon Skeet.
I have a few SPARCs, actually. Those are fairly easy to find. I want a Sun-3, because to my mind that's the truly transformative device. In principle I could sit at a 38-year-old Sun 3 today and do my actual job productively, with pretty minimal workflow changes. It's one of just a handful of Devices That Changed Computing Forever, and in principle one that should be accessible to a collector. But they're rarer than I'd have expected, especially given how many I saw sitting around at school in the 90's.

And yeah, the desktop VAXen were almost exclusively for VMS. But the standard Unix box in the early-mid 80's that everyone talked about when they discussed/benchmarked/whatever the platform was a 11/780 running 4.2BSD. Those aren't meaningfully collectible for an individual, obviously.
Who cares what these people up to? They will always quibble. Their mechanations should not affect our literal understanding of what happened. If it was actually 4.5 million no reasonable, unmotivated person would make the leap from "wow 6 million" to "0".
The cost of whole genome sequencing claimed by manufacturers is around $200 for the latest Illumina tech and sub 100$ for the latest MGI tech. All this assumes full load on max throughput machines - e.g. enough samples to sequence (otherwise the price invariably goes up).

These are not reference points for the pricing over the last couple years since these products were only announced last/this year respectively. 600$ WGS seems reasonable price for the last couple years in Europe, $200 is not. See this spreadsheet by @AlbertVilella who's a very useful source for his kind of stuff:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GMMfhyLK0-q8XkIo3Yxl...

There is also Element and Ultima which I don't know much about except that Ultima tech seems to have noticeably higher sequencing error rate.

EDIT: @AlbertVilella corrected

My counter would be that AI is going to allow us to move forward with creativity. It’s going to effectively rewire our brains. In the past, we put a lot of emphasis on “random access memory” and memorization was actually a valued skill. Fast forward to today, and I think memorization is not all that useful. So what does AI chat do for us? Answering that is quite literally the next trillion dollar market in development right now.
Wow, this and your other comments on this thread are disgusting.

This whole article's comment section is truly fucking awful.
The thing that typically gets stuck to teeth even with a good diet are minerals found in saliva.
As someone that doesn't have any cavities, I'm well aware of many of the subtle points. I also am well aware of just how scatter shot so much advice is... And how dominant genetics can be in this.
The Senate is a brake on change. In the most egregious example, the House passed anti-lynching legislation for 50 years, which never made it out of Senate committee.

Patriot act was ultimately designed to avoid the types of failures to coordinate that stopped the authorities from preventing 9/11 attacks. It was very successful at that aim, but created a bunch of other problems in the process. My statement isn’t an endorsement of it.

ACA reduced the number of uninsured individuals by 50%, eliminated a few key policy holes (ie pre-existing conditions) and slowed cost growth.
It seems like you're focused on the implementation of the ACA here. I used the ACA as an example of secondary consequences. My question of context was because that's literally what you said. I was wondering how context related to my post which I could have been more clear about. You seem to be saying that context is everything no matter the secondary consequences and go so far as to give more context. Many people characterized the ACA as a Trojan horse at the time. Was that it's purpose? That's maybe a more appropriate question to all this - why doesn't congress add purpose to bills? We need measurable benefits to weigh. By sidestepping that part of the process, it's a guessing game - all bills are just a mash of secondary consequences. That's convenient for politicians and political parties but not the people.
As you get older your teeth have worn smoother so the pits being filled are less serious. I did have a failed sealant result in a compositing of the surface of one of my teeth.
They were already doomed at that point. I was involved in several major purchase decisions during that period and Sun were totally out of touch. If they were quoting hardware that had an x86 equivalent, then they were overpriced. If it was something that didn't have an x86 equivalent, like they had for a while with 64 bit, the prices were atrocious. Then Lintel moved to 64 bit and it was all over. The price/performance equation was broken, but Sun, for whatever reason, kept on like nothing had happened. I, and I'm sure many others, tried to show them that they were uncompetitive, but you were dealing with reps working from a price sheet and citing the same old mantra that Sun was inherently superior. For years when I would tell peers that the Sun equipment was just throwing away money they wouldn't believe me because they hadn't done the benchmarking. Really, if people did proper benchmarking and didn't just 'buy what they know' without questioning, it all would have unwound even more quickly. They certainly had some good tech, and were not wrong about the advantages of containerization, which came full circle with linux containerization and docker, but IBM mainframes had similar virtualization capabilities in place long before Solaris zones, so it wasn't something that was a game changer. Ironically, it worked against them because even though they were right, it was seen by some as Sun touting their way of doing it because they didn't have a viable solution for the prevailing VM direction of hardware virtualization. Basically, they began by offering the best price/performance and innovation, but then died trying to be a 'premium provider' without the goods to back it up, and market forces then do what market forces do.
Essay writing as a form of cultural and intellectual interchange predates college administrators by at least a couple of centuries.

I like this term.
It even extends to concepts like hyper-palatable foods, with the equivalent being hyper-palatable entertainment (like TikTok, or Youtube Shorts) that similarly short-circuits the brains reward loop.
Who assumes that? I don’t. Sounds like you don’t. Is it really everyone except the two of us? I doubt that.
It's more difficult than it was, but it's not impossible, and the second you drop down into the second tier of pay - as the GP was suggesting, suddenly you've got thousands of companys that you could be going to.
How is the leadership of this other organization selected? It sounds like a government agency by another name.
During my bi-annual dentist visits they always mention the sealants on my teeth (maintained with the last touchup done when I was 16) and I'm sort of surprised they're largely intact. I'm 41 and haven't had a cavity since I was 13, on an adult tooth that I just missed my chance to get sealed before the cavity happened.

Thanks!

That is an aspect the fine article omitted, alas. It explains the title as well as giving a reason why a private company couldn't release something under whatever license they like.

Basically: they can, but cannot give the license a trademarked name then.

> this factually incorrect statement

Exactly which factually incorrect statement?
"In another incident, the FBI ran searches using the “names of a local political party,” even though a connection to foreign intelligence was “not reasonably likely.” The DOJ explained the errors away by saying FBI personnel “misunderstood” the search procedures, adding they were “subsequently reminded of how to correctly apply the query rules.”"

Fascinating, FISA was created iirc in part in response to nixon's spying on political groups, half a century later this is what we see and the response is just to...remind them how to correctly apply the query rules? If that is the response to such a thing I find it hard to believe it isn't a common occurrence that is just being hand waved away because it "leaked". And the article itself is filled with even more examples.

I'm not opposed to calling the new age church committee politically motivated, it clearly is, but at the very least they are trying to do something about it. It's pretty sad how after the russiagate conspiracy theory took steam the "left-wing" media started putting the intelligence community in a pedestal and now it seems like distrusting them is a republican position, bizarrely.
