>Why have mainstream "news" outlets like NYT, WaPo, etc failed to talk about such a catastrophic event for so long?

>Was the thought process that something like this, which is killing frogs and small animals at a rapid pace, could be easily covered up?

It wasn't covered up by anyone, anywhere, at any time, at all.

> What are these stupid "China balloon" and UFO distractions?

They aren't "distractions," they are other newsworthy events occurring simultaneously and in parallel to the train derailment story. The media didn't stop covering the train derailment in order to focus on the balloon story, rather it covered both, along with other stories unrelated to either, because the media is capable of covering more than one event at a time.

People are also capable of being aware of more than one event at a time. People who were following the balloon story were also aware of, and concerned about, the train derailment.

It just happens that the balloon story became more viral because it got wrapped up in the whole UAP/UFO thing. But that isn't a conspiracy by the media to distract from "the real story," either. It just happens to be more fun to talk about UFOs and Chinese espionage than an environmental disaster.

> Since Twitter is at least a degree less censored now, is this only just being covered now because news has leaked out to the "general populace"?

The general populace has been aware of the train derailment since it began, and the mainstream media has been covering it since it began. The story has not been censored, either by mainstream media or social media.
> Can you support your claims as for these ratios?

I think the article we're commenting on is just that, no?

> Half of Americans in a recent survey indicated they believe national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting.

That would seem to imply that more than half of Americans didn't realize that until recently, eh?

> I'd state it more starkly: 1) 1/3 don't know or care about the suffering of people in general. 2) 1/3 wish harm on others or care so little about others that they'll seek even small personal gains at others' great expense. 3) 1/3 at least feel compassion for others, but might not have the ability or resolve to make substantial change.

I think you're talking about something else than I am. You seem to be talking about motivation, I'm talking about political power. The OP's question was, "how can then this democracy function" if "people [can't] make educated choices?"

FWIW, your second group reminds me of Carlo M. Cipolla's "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity": https://web.archive.org/web/20130216132858/http://www.cantri...

> Why do you think that group 1 is the one that needs to be controlled?

Do you mean my group 1 or your group 1? My group 1 needs to be controlled if you want a complex society. Otherwise they'll destroy it without malice through entropy.

If you mean your group 1 then I don't think they should be controlled, but I would encourage them to try to develop compassion.
Knowing that refactoring for developer ergonomics isn't the first priority of every project is important, I think. If I was working for you I'm sure you'd argue with the C-level well enough to give me the time to write tests that run in isolation, which would give you enough time to give me an earful if I didn't!
I’m not jerking you around, I’m telling you point-blank that your solution to this problem is the actual problem itself. You have created a utter fucking nightmare world, and now you want to fix it with more nightmares. Fuck you. Fuck your guns. Fuck your lawful gun ownership culture. Fuck you.
I'm not sure how the funding formula works exactly, but it seems like the problem is far from fixed. You can look at any public school in a wealthy suburb and it will have lavish amenities and everything a student could want or need. While many inner city schools look like cinderblock prisons.

that was 9 years ago and it was code smell that things were broken apart incorrectly and at some point i rewrote it so that wasn't necessary -- but sometimes you just gotta move the ball down the field, even if you don't get a first down.
I always encourage folks to read over the environment section of the manpage, as it's extremely helpful: https://docs.brew.sh/Manpage#environment
I disagree, the “share screen” is the logical place for actions that operate on the object you’re currently looking at. Adding a new banner or something for installing PWAs would just clutter up the UI and make it less consistent.
Completely irrelevant, this triggers me how broken the workplace is while there’s a huge push to get people back to the office.

> "Empower employees to reserve a desk in the workplace"

This business shouldn’t have a need to exist at all!

At home I have a separate office, set up how I like/most productive. It just works and a nice productive environment. No having to *book*/find a desk, no broken monitors, cables, hubs or chairs. No being told to move as you found a comfy spot with working equipment and get in to the office consistently early to use that spot for multiple consecutive days.
My worry is that AIs reduce the cost for bad actors to engage in harmful behaviour. The companies building these AIs need to take ethics into account. Making it easier to create fake images, video and audio of real people causes harm and should be considered unethical.

We need to strike a balance between the freedom to create new things and the externalization of the cost of the harm these tools inflict upon society. Law makers don't seem to have a clue about the consequences of what's happening, so my expectations are pretty low at this point. Overall, I no longer believe that many new technologies are a net good for society.

von Foerster, Maturana, and Brun were all active in cybernetics and early computing - see their Wikipedia articles.

So it is surprising/disappointing that this document - which is apparently a sort of catalog of advice and helpful information for students at the University of Illinois at Champagne/Urbana around 1969-70 - doesn't say anything about the computing activities going on there at that time. The experimental ILLIAC computers were being built and used, and the PLATO timesharing system was being developed and used (again, see Wikipedia). PLATO was built to support computer-aided instruction, so it seems some students would have encountered it.
Taking legal liability ought to be the truly defining difference between L2 and higher systems. Anything L2 (including Tesla's horribly named FSD) needs to be clearly labelled as a driver assistance feature. Until the manufacturer takes legal responsibility features should be stuck as assistance and agencies like the FTC should be enforcing the terminology much more carefully.

Only if you're very lucky do you actually know any of these things. There's generally a very wide space of things that could have happened, and knowing that exactly one of them is wrong narrows things down very little. The space of motives for people to muddy the water is similarly wide, so you probably don't know anything new about the source.

$7 per 1000 searches was already incredibly expensive.. increasing it to $25 is a joke. It feels like now that they're going all-in with Bing then they don't want to deal with other competition.

Also worth noting that Bing doesn't allow small websites access the Microsoft Advertising network to help offset the cost. I've been told by a kind stranger that you need at least 10k searches per day to get access, that's $7500/month you now need to pay before you can even begin to monetize your service (and you'll probably spend tens of thousands before you reach the threshold). No idea how much you can expect to earn per 1000 searches with Microsoft Advertising if you're lucky/influential enough to get access, but I doubt it's much more than $25.
It's so weird. And statistical weather models are doing better than the physical ones, at far lower computational cost.
Sorry by weights, I really meant the pattern of activations... I should have made that more clear. But the weights are trained by the game transcripts to produce activation patterns that could represent the board state. Or it could be local position patterns learnt during training. Positional representation (attention) of the N-1 tokens in the autoregressive task. Did they look at the attention patterns? Anyway there is a recent PhD from Stanford who looked at CNNs with SAT similarly and presented some evidence that the activations patterns can be decoded to determine the satisfying solution.
In the future, programs will develop genetic disorders, and will need to be diagnosed by programmers with the equivalent of medical degrees.
What this comes down to is that you just can't arbitrarily choose a random number and hope that it meets your needs.

You have to understand what properties you actually care about and choose a (P)RNG that has those properties.

My understanding is that data science implies big data.

As Jordan Tigani observes, there are not that many really big data situations[1].

Thus data science proficiency might be in support of business initiatives in a particular application domain and not a means to an end in itself.

They don't. And you can silence them with any amount of pressure on the outer case.
> My parents are in the same boat. Revoking it assumes the user even has a mental model of what a notification is. That is: Something that you can opt out of or even necessarily that they gave permission in the first place.

My feeling is that if a user doesn't know how to disable a permission, then they were not giving informed consent about enabling the permission. Being able to turn on a permission is an imperfect but ultimately better indicator that they likely know what the permission is (it's not completely bullet-proof, but it's better).

Clicking "yes" just means that they clicked "yes", it doesn't mean anything more than that.
I would like you to do two things for me, please. First, find some materials describing mandatory out-of-curriculum patriotic classes, introduced September 2022 in schools in Russia. They call it something like "Important conversation" or "Talk about important things". It would be better if you get to it yourself, also I read about it in Russian and not sure which English sources to recommend.

Second, make sure that you are not engaged in a textbook case of whataboutism[0]. Then please tell me what you think of our conversation, concerning these two topics. Thank you!

NASA's managerial culture is (in)famous for all the wrong reasons - see the Challenger and Columbia crashes [1][2]. It appears that every once in a while they crash a major vehicle, external pressure gives some control back to technical authorities, but over time they seem to fall back into the same bad habits. Depending on when you were there, it would be interesting to see if post-Columbia culture has "reverted to the mean".

Thinking back to Boeing's recent 737Max issues, I wonder how much managerial exchange is there between the two Aerospace organizations.

Isn't that incredible. It's almost "We can't go with you to that place and investigate a crime because a crime might happen!"

I'm not from the US and I've only ever had positive interactions with police, but cases like this which would be low effort for them and have a useful impact on petty crime in their region, seem very frustrating.
Well that makes sense, as long as the developer running the code has nvm installed. Does nvm-windows read and install the versions in these nvmrc files? If it does your strategy is indeed pretty cool and I might start doing it myself. I wonder if there's any way to force specific versions of NodeJS without relying on nvm or some compatible tool.

edit: someone here in this thread suggested Volta [0] which seems literally like what I was looking for. No need for the nvmrc as it simply follows what's in the engine property of the package.json. Even better is that it's not a weird massive shell script but instead an actual program written in Rust. I'll have to try it out sometime.

This is a major difference. Reddit, Hackernews, and others are more "24 hour news cycle". Built to churn out new and bury old.
It is probably something to do with Safari/WebKit (assuming you are printing from your iPhone/iPad). The page uses a media query for print in the CSS sheet linked to it. That does most of the heavy lifting for laying out the print page.
I don't think you are missing something. I think this whole "GPT-2 is predicting only one word at a time" is a red herring anyway.

Of course it can only answer the next word, because there is only room in its outputs for the next word. But it has to compute much more. It a huge hidden internal state where it has to first encode what the given sentence is about, then predict some general concept in which the continuation goes, decide the locally correct syntactical structure and only from this you can predict the next word.
> You need to do your own research and be humble about it.

It takes me between 30 and 60 minutes to research a short news article in a topic that I'm familiar with. For topics I'm not an expert in it's multiple hours.

I simply don't have time for it. Family, work, and sleep already occupy much of my day.
For 1, I have seen somewhere that it a reason why C++ casts are so verbose compared to C casts: like "reinterpret_cast<A>(b)" vs "(A)b". Type casting in C++ may be the result of bad design. And while casts definitely have a place, they are ugly, and therefore, they should look ugly.
Green hydrogen is not a fuel source. It takes more energy to create green hydrogen than it provides as a fuel, so green hydrogen is a energy transport mechanism, not a source.
I think there's probably some truth to this. They found that in InstructGPT — where they teach the model to better follow instructions, which was the jump from GPT-3 to ChatGPT — they found that the model also learnt to follow non-English instructions, even though the extra training was done almost exclusively in English[1].

So there seems to be such emergent mechanisms in the model that have arisen because of the end-to-end training, which we don't exactly understand yet.

It’s a bit of a nihilistic view that programmers are merely slow boiler plate auto completion systems and our jobs will be replaced by AI.

We already write more code than we understand given how lowly the industry regards formal methods and how divided it is even on testing.

It is not surprising to me that Bertrand Meyer could miss that error in the code! A former colleague of mine challenged his grad students to implement an error-free version of binary search. He gave them the specification and verified each one: the majority of the submissions had errors. It’s a marvel that computers and software work so well.

And instead of tackling the problem of programming, as Dijkstra put it, we’re going to automate writing more code. Great.

See you in a few years when we can’t even keep up with the deluge of error prone programs.

Although we have gotten this far with very few proofs and models. Who knows, maybe we’ll just tolerate it?

It would be nice to have code synthesis work on larger examples from deep specifications. And models that understand proof tactics and can speed up the process of formalizing proofs. That would be nice.
Apple is really doing a great job keeping old-ish devices usable. My last phone was a 5s and now I have a Xs, it was really a slog to wait until the release of the Xs (the X was the first generation with the notch and I wanted to see if it would stick) because the 5s was feeling very sluggish and outdated at 5 years old. This phone, though, is still snappy at (almost) 5 years old, so I’ll probably use it until they stop offering security updates (then buy the current flagship iPhone)

I kind of dislike the app/website distinction that people make sometimes, but even I feel like this is a pretty decent line between the two: "a thing I 'install' means that I want it to have more capabilities than something that I want to be transient." I agree, it's good UX.

And similarly, it's great to tie that to the app list -- it means if you want to get rid of those permissions, you now have a really easily viewable list of every site that's sending you notifications (I'm assuming that iOS revokes push notifications if an app is unpinned from the homescreen).

There are ways in browser to get lists of every site that can send you notifications, but nobody outside of tech circles will ever find them. In contrast, this is reusing the same UI that you'd use for any other cleanup action. Everything that can send notifications is in the same place. That's something I can explain to a non-technical user.
Why can’t we move on from the old boot modes?
The 3 Balloons which were shot down after the known Chinese one were all flying between 20,000 - 40,000 ft. In truth it's kind of insane to me that drones seem to have greater FAA regulation than these balloons, some of which were close to active airports.
