> The authors of that study started by filtering down a giant list of survey responses to those where there's a significant difference in responses between the "donor class" and everyone else. I forget exactly how often that happened, but it's a small number.

> So, just in the premise the study, by needing to throw away almost all the survey responses where everyone agrees and get the policies what they want, actually goes a far way to debunking the populist premise that "economic elites" and "the People" are opposing factions with inherently different political opinions.

Help me understand, it sounds like you're saying that "when the poor people agree with the rich people, everyone gets what they want and democracy is proved to be healthy, nevermind that when they disagree, the rich people get what they want anyway."

> When a follow-up study further filtered responses to questions where more that margin spans the 5% mark, i.e. most people in each group disagree, then the effect completely disappears and it's more or less a coin toss which way policy goes.

So you're saying that when like, 90% of the rich people wanted A and 90% of the poor people wanted B, then it was a coin toss? That would make a good argument if so. Can you link to the study?

EDIT: Actually now that I think about it, it doesn't really make a good argument, because the donor class is so much smaller than the non- that if 90% of donors want A and 90% of the poor want B, B should prevail easily. So if it's a coin toss, that's extremely biased, no?
The descriptions seem equivalent, to me. I tend to think of it as: a "source" is either raw audio, or the result of applying a parameterised filter to zero or more sources.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it would be phenomenal if Apple were to allow reproducible builds on the App Store!

But given both the existing encryption as you mention, and Bitcode (mandatory for at least the Apple Watch for now), I think it's unfortunately pretty unlikely to happen.
In the Rittenhouse trial this issue came up, namely the faithfulness of digital images and how computers manipulated images.
I tried it once as well, maybe ten years ago. The annoying thing not yet mentioned is that it tries to upsell you at every step. You quickly realize that steps have been added for additional upsell opportunities.

Then the "elephant shooter" drama happened and I moved to namecheap and didn't look back. Was a breath of fresh air in comparison.

I didn't see a way to delete my gd account, so think it is still there. Hope my data didn't get out again. :doh:
IMO this is one of the beautiful things about Judo/BJJ. I'm bad at BJJ. I know that. Yeah I can manhandle a dude my size who's day 1 no experience. Anything more than that is me trying my best and then going easy on me. I passed that purple belts guard but he could've stopped it if he wanred to bad enough.

Then you roll with a legit seasoned black belt, and realize you are even worse than you thought.

And it's not because of the team, or the gear, or someone cheating or lag in a videogame. It's just him being better.

And you either let that beat you up, or you look forward to how high the scale goes, and keep on growing
I was only objecting to math being called a branch of philosophy.

Great way to contribute memberships to the Amazon Union.
Yeah this is more or less a re-release of the second work I linked, except for a broader audience and more targeted at linguistics / cognitive science researchers.
It doesn’t matter how much money governments are throwing at competitors. The expertise required is tied up in Taiwan everything else is just to get political brownie points.

Just like when the TSMC factory does come online and is fully operational in the US, there will still be a huge dependency on Taiwanese manufacturing.

It’s the same thing you saw when Cook prostrated himself to Trump showing Apple “bringing Mac manufacturing to the US”. All they did was bring final assembly of Mac Pros that sold in low volumes back.

Apple did the same in the UK and other countries to make the politicians look good.
Nope, that's a repeal of our affirmative action ban WHICH FAILED in 2020, during the alleged peak of the woke mob. I bet Fox doesn't mention that affirmative action is illegal in California.

That is not repealing our civil rights law, the FEHA, or amending it to remove protections for white people, who are, by the way, only a plurality here. Even if we had, the federal law, Title VII, still protects everyone. The question isn't who you are, it's whether you were discriminated against on that basis.

Personally, I am really glad the rest of the country hates us and thinks we're shit so they don't come here, but it gets annoying when people just make stuff up. No, the place is far from perfect, but it's nothing like what people imagine. Even in San Francisco, they recalled the prosecutor who wouldn't do anything and San Francisco is probably the most extreme. People think that must mean every city around it is the same. Other than Berkeley, sometimes, they just aren't. In fact most of us go, thank god I don't live in San Francisco, which, by the way isn't the second biggest city in the state. San Jose has more people than San Francisco and so does San Diego. San Diego is much, much more purple. It's almost like 40m people are different.

They sure seem happy to take our tax dollars though.
Neat idea. My initial concern with this approach is that dependency versions are nowhere to be had, which feeds my second concern which is that a build / ci system would struggle and deployment of this approach would have to be done manually, barring building out custom ci / cd to accommodate.
Can we get a 2019 on the title? Or was there a typo somewhere - The docs were not 'just released'.

You could argue that Docker Desktop is basically this.

Core Image: Optimized Processing of Complex Filter Effect
At Digital Masterpieces, we build apps that create impressive artworks from digital photos and videos. For that, we use the device’s graphics processor to transform the media that you load into the apps. The component at the heart of our apps that is responsible for transforming images and videos into pieces of art is our Rendering Core. Over the last few months, we have been working hard re-writing this critical component, incorporating the latest trends in image processing technology.
I don't think it's a particularly apt analogy. For one thing, being swiped left on is completely passive on Anne Hathaway's part. She didn't send an e-mail asking you to swipe right. One is an active action toward a specific person, one is a passive.

But again, it doesn't matter. Requiring people to have applied, then been accepted to work at Amazon in order for their comments on Amazon's labor practices to be relevant to the discussion means you have inherently limited the discussion to people interested in working at Amazon despite their labor practices. Anyone who isn't interested, due to, say, their labor practices, isn't going to spend countless hours going through the exhausting process of getting an offer. Why would they? They aren't interested.

Ok, so I'm not the only one who's noticed the wrestler walk? Like, something in their posture or their gait. Idk what it is, but you can just eyeball a dude and be like, "yeah he knows what a Granby roll is"
Also, the theory of taking autism as a single-variate "how functioning are you" spectrum and labeling the low side of that spectrum "Asbergers" was unscientific nonsense anyway, not backed up by research into autism.

There are a multitude of spectrums of symptoms, support needs, issues, and attributes that are all lumped together. The idea of taking that huge parameter space and mapping it to only two classes was nonsense. There is an important shift in psychology to move beyond really dumb and old classifications into actual evidence based treatment.
The problem in your example is quite clearly not whether she currently knows how to drive. This is a skill that is trivial to acquire (given that there's a spare car, and if it's North America, driving schools are plentiful and a barely detectable pulse is sufficient qualifications for a driver's licence).

The actual problem is two-fold: parents who enable this dependency by offering rides and don't charge rent; and the daughter who evidently has no personal need whatsoever for a driver's licence. If she doesn't want a job, why would she care that she can't drive to one?
Instantiating an object vs defining one? Yeah definition would be longer.
Having examples of these is useful to see what we could get rustc to do. The general case might be impossible to deal with in a generic way, but we can target specific patterns libraries use and emit custom errors for them. The problem with these is we have to be reactive: if we don't see a problematic patter ourselves (or it isn't reported to us), we can't do anything about them.
I didn't mean to make this a "women vs. men" problem; I meant to make it a "men" problem, and I believe it would be accepted as one, if you replaced "men" with "women".

For instance, we acknowledge women suffer more than their partners during a miscarriage or a stillborn pregnancy, but both would-be parents suffer the loss of a child. We acknowledge women are affected by rape more than men, but both genders suffer from sexual assault. In this instance, where the issue negatively impacts men more than women, an article which focuses on the issue decided to focus on the common suffering and ignore the suffering that it causes men specifically, so I wanted to reframe the discussion to focus on that, and point out that society is less interested in "men's issues".

I am not looking to go back-and-forth on reproductive rights, since it is not related to my original post, but since you mentioned it, I would like to point out that while women are "[having issues] asserting their reproductive rights", men have no reproductive rights to assert. Women are struggling to obtain or retain access to abortion, and men have no such recourse. Women are struggling to obtain access to birth control, and men have no such recourse. Women can choose to have babies that their partners might not want, and men have no such recourse. The extent of reproductive rights for men is "put on a condom and pray". The "reproductive rights" battle that women are fighting is not about equality, but about getting or staying ahead.
Now that we have some distance from the whole forced-at-home-during-pandemic episode, what are people's opinions on the topic?

I do feel seeing people face to face a couple of times per week does help teams function better. Random water-cooler conversation lead to meaningful ideas. Overhearing team members talking about some related problem gives you the chance to jump in. Also better for overall motivation from what I've experienced.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it's going to be tied to your IP address.

> In reality, you have a problem that a company provides you an app for free and wants your anonymous data to help improve it.

No, in reality, you have a company that bought the branding of a piece of free software. They didn't make Audacity. They contributed to versions 3.0 through 3.2.1 (which I've, personally, never used). They had nothing to do with the award-winning version 1.3.x, nor anything up to 2.4.2.

I'm not against companies taking on the maintenance of free software projects – provided it's not an Embrace Extend Extinguish ruse –, but throwing money around wouldn't entitle one to claim credit. (I'm not aware of Muse Group claiming credit for Audacity, but if anyone is pulling a stunt like that, I would like to write them a strongly-worded letter.)
As one of the comments say, employers really do have all the leverage right now.
My class required AI. Here's what I've learned so far
I think so. The main idea is the idea of Hopf coherence. The transformer/Hopf algebra update their internal state in order to enforce the Hopf coherence formula (you can find that in the paper).

The idea of streams (as in infinite lists) is related to this via coalgebras.
The community would revolt. Not going to happen.

Id rephrase that:

Epstein did nothing most of our leaders were doing anyway.
Actually, they said in one of their yearly reports that "it's better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price, than a fair company at a wonderful price."

I think Berkshire is very willing to pay a premium for a company that meets their requirements in generating excess capital while maintaining some sort of advantage (moat) over their competitors.
They can make a request for it but doing that and people actually bothering are two entirely different things.

My point was that it seems that in calculations it is useful to think of very large integers that are known to some approximation as real numbers.
Even on the cloud, Rust will only save you money if you have enough users. But the effort is upfront.

Unfortunately, the cloud isn't a very good environment for mixed-languages deployments (unless you stick to the most basic services), so you have to make a decision on the very beginning and stay with it.
I mean, if you go many days without actually producing anything, then presumably you will be let go from the company.

This is already a de facto advantage for people that are closer. Lack of commute often means lack of stress, which leads to more productivity, which leads to promotion.

Clearly none of it is guaranteed, but that general markov chain works surprisingly well. If the company can't pay enough for you to live close, that is already a drain on the company. Whether they realize it or not.
Is there any realistic difference?
"My number one advice is don’t focus on yourself, but focus on the strategy to win the points, knowing what you have today. "

Steven Brust, in his books, has a recurring advice "do not think about what you can do; think about what needs to be done, and do it"
Docker Desktop is essentially an application, doesn't come close to being a OS or distribution.
I'm sure it's less accurate. Look how many people say they "have OCD" when they like a clean room. How many of those people understand that they don't actually have OCD?

However, current psychology is realizing the previous ways of lumping people with vastly disparate needs into finite categories is bad and dumb and doesn't really help anyone. Turns out, making someone's mental illness easy for nobodies to talk about isn't that useful for treatment, while extreme nuance and personalization IS really good for treatment.
You will always need to trust someone. How did you trust your hardware such as laptops and network equipment so far? So either you trust the vendor, or you're trusting a 3rd party that checks the hardware for you and give you some form of approval.
“The problem of saying ‘I’m gonna get infected to get immunity’ is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die,” Murray said. “Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?”

What kind of sociopathic idiot says something like this in Feb 2023? Does he not know that virtually everyone has already been exposed to covid? Who is the target audience? The 2% of people who are unvaccinated that also havent got a confirmed covid diagnosis yet? The same 2% that were vindicated and just learned natural immunity is as great and almost certainly much better than the vaccines? Lol. The medical and media communities are in full irrelevant self destruct mode.
That's not a good question. There is no reason to pick one language over another if you don't even know what software you will write.

Super easy way to generate a MBTiles, which you can then serve directly, or further convert to PMTiles, which can be used to host vector tiles for client-side rendering using MapLibre (or other renderers).

Raster tiles are a lot harder because you have to generate them on the server, and that's a lot more resource intensive.

The "release" is heavily redacted and is likely a tarpit for conspiracy theorists. There are tons of redactions, missing pages from depositions, "intentionally left blank." There's stuff in there that definitely no one cares about, like one of the victim's school transcripts, or petty assault charges against Ghislaine Maxwell's roommate, but anything substantial is removed from the record, especially pertaining to world leaders (eg. Bill Clinton, Donald Trump) who spent plenty of time on Epstein's jet or hanging out with him at Mar-a-Lago.

I spent a good amount of time reading through this release earlier this week and there is practically nothing that wasn't already publicly known years ago.

I think the American people deserve answers on why the FBI covered for Epstein and secretly came up with a non-prosecution agreement for his sex crimes in Florida (which were the tip of the iceberg). Or how two prison guards fell asleep at the same time allowing Epstein to supposedly commit suicide. What evidence do we have that Jeffrey Epstein is _actually dead?_ Oh I guess it doesn't matter because now we have swiss cheese court records for one of his flunkies who did get prosecuted. Justice in this country is a myth.
I feel like we are seeing cartel behavior with tech employment. I wouldn’t know how to prove such a thing, but I think it’s pretty clear that some collusion is going on.
(FYI: I work with several clients on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, each with their own codebases and instances.) A deployment to staging involves a build that usually takes 5 or so minutes. Depending on the size of the codebase (~50 to ~200 MB), a deployment from staging to production takes 1 to 5 minutes, followed by a cache invalidation that takes up to 15 minutes.

All told, maybe 30 minutes from writing code to running in production. That turnaround is extremely rare, only when an urgent hotfix is needed. Most releases are heavily tested in staging for several days before moving to production.
Exactly, details of HTTP request are not relevant. What creatir of thw web had in mind 40 years ago is not relevant.

Hey I read your notes on Dr. Yapko's lecture on depression which led me to watch the lecture and I found it immensely helpful. Do you have any other resources you would recommend?
To be fair tiktok helped me find a lot content (series, movies, etc) and artists (specially standup comedians) that it would take a much longer time to cross-paths with. So I would see a short of that, and then looked around to watch the whole thing.

But in the 1 year I've interacted with the app I've already seen the effects of the content creators learning how to game the algorithm and get presented with some contents that were made in a format only to get engagement, similar to a clickbait article.

The result? It has spoiled the whole experience for me and I uninstalled the app.

And this is how those platforms slowly crumble to their own weight as the crowdsourcing becomes a business for creators and, little by little, content becomes more and more superficial, fake, commercial and uninteresting for the audience, who migrates to another app and everything starts again...
Yes, generally the taxpayer pays. I work for a County local government. When we lose a case, we have our litigation insurance pay. Then the insurance policy rate immediately goes up.

Sometimes the government employee does something so agregious that we say "we cannot defend you: you are on your own" but that is really rare.
Idk what this means in this context. There are basically zero right to repair laws in America except this one. Prior to December, no company had any obligation at all. NY just created the window. Once this goes into effect, tech companies are going to essentially forced to comply in order to operate in NY. The other 49 states or the federal government can basically only make the rule broader.
Lucky for them the industry is laying off tons of people, so they might end up with the upper hand in this one, unlike the last 10 years.
Interesting. Though I find these quotes somewhat amusing from that page:

> if there's lots of technology, we won't understand it

> We are not interested, however, in receiving suggestions about purchases we might make in the general stock market.
You just need to do your research first. I recently bought a 2001 Corolla with 200k miles. I felt confident because it has a timing chain, no belt to snap. Manual transmission which is bulletproof, just needs a new clutch every now and then. And it’s a a common car so it’s easy and cheap to find spare parts.

This era is probably the sweet spot for reliable cars. Post 2010 cars have gotten extremely complicated both mechanically and electronically. Manual / slushbox auto transmissions are difficult to find, replaced with CVTs which are extremely unreliable and for some reason unrepairable (usually needing a full replacement), or DCTs which are slightly better but nowhere near as reliable as a manual or slushbox. And significantly more expensive to fix.

In 15-20 years the used car market isn’t going to look like it does today. Modern ICEs aren’t going to last. However, I’m looking forward to used electric cars as they age. The mechanics are much simpler which only leaves the electronics, and more people are going to become competent with diagnostics and repair in step with the popularity of electric cars.
