You see, not even a random phrase of 8 words is duplicated anywhere. Out of all the possible combinations of words that make sense, only a small portion of them actually exist in the real world.

LLMs explore this space that is mostly empty and accomplish useful tasks. They can explore new places by recombining concepts in new ways. They can generate novel ideas by mixing and matching older ideas in ways that make sense.

> Why would anti-immigrant voices gain power with a falling population?

I don’t think it’s a general rule. But the countries in a demographic bind are in one because they’re not getting immigrants. So as the vice tightens, we see those preëxisting tendencies amplified. This is more observational than prescriptive, mine you.
It's been jokingly observed many times how programming is similar to spell-casting but now it seems we are really going in this direction, just of more demonological style where the summoned demon misinterprets your command and you burn in the fire. You can even imagine some half-thought out security measures being thrown in to tick the "you must address AI by its true name to make it obey you" checkbox.

The neutral term is Chinese Tapei. Taiwan and Province of China are loaded terms.
He covers the motivation for this in the book (as well as other departures from traditions of not talking about things he considers important to talk about). Basically there's a tradition of people keeping people in the dark about things that he thinks does more harm than good.

I'm not qualified to comment on the wisdom of either approach, just pointing out that it's covered in the first part of the book, and other parts, e.g. "Mushroom Factor".
People who use powdered food shakes etc. generally do eat other foods too.

As for reasons why they include powdered foods in their diet, it is often as a tool for losing weight (replacing other meals), or for bulking up (in addition to other meals), or as a lifestyle or economic choice (easy & cheap weekday breakfasts).

If you believe a significant proportion of powdered food fans eat only this stuff, you are unwittingly participating in someone’s marketing ploy.
I've known a dude who taught at university on the side, besides working on logistics of all things, he said he had a mild form of dyslexia, so he taught himself to read books, by reading each page, on each side at the same time, as some form of compensation. I don't know if I could believe it, but there's document cases of this, and his retention and speed was crazy fast. Could be that he just taught himself to glance and chunk structures really fast, which is what I do, if I try to read fast without regard for safety or pleasure.
That's why I backup my password Manager's encrypted vault to a paid file storage (AWS S3)

Black holes are a known explanation for dark matter (until recently not for dark energy, as black holes were in the end still thought of as a bunch of dense matter).

There are bounds on the size and quantity of such black holes, which get increasingly tight as more data on dark matter becomes available.
Rust vs. Go in 2023
Actually laughed out loud at this bit:

> In the early morning of May 27, Powers set out to hike what he believed was the 17-mile Cabin Loop, which his guidebook described as an easy-to-moderate trail. [...]

> In her verdict, United States Magistrate Judge Camille D. Bibles disagreed [...] He wasn’t, she said, even on the right trail: Instead of the 17-mile, moderate Cabin Loop, he was hiking the 18.8-mile Taylor Cabin Loop, a full 50 miles away, which his guidebook rated as strenuous.
I still get a lot of recruiter spam. Maybe because my tech stack is used in slow-moving enterprises (Java, Spring Boot), not sure.
He lived. And learned a $300k lesson about being prepared so you don’t mess up the world. Seems like the justice system working.
Steve himself has launched courses which are entirely improvised from day 1. He did the same thing with live seminars and that seemed to go very well for him.

I'd say that counts as a highly creative act, and is the polar opposite of working in silence.
I'd point to IE's market share while it was obviously technically inferior. Most people don't want to think about "Which browser?", sadly. Thus, marketing or default installs win.
Determinism is largely impossible due to arbitrary ordering of GPU threads and non-associativity of floating point operations
I agree, I think the Rust Gods should think of some ingenious way (which actually seems to be the norm when it comes to the "thoughtfulness" of the Rust ecosystem) to do both library-style error handling (where specific error conditions have to be handled differently by a library consumer) as well as app-style error handling (where multiple error conditions can be handled pretty much the same way by an event loop), add it to the standard library and `clippy` out (lint) the livin' lights out of every other approach out there :).
Prompt "engineering" is about as engineering as software "engineering".
Gross margin is the appropriate measure of per unit cost/profit. Yes, EBITDA is not a good measure at all (for part economics).
And that's why so far AMDs mobile processors have been monolithic and not chiplet-based. That is supposed to change with Zen 4's Dragon Range, however most of the mobile lineup will still be monolithic and these high-power/high-performance processors should go exclusively to "gaming" notebooks.
They sell a powder long diverged from the older formulations.
Primordial black holes used to be a dark matter candidate but have been largely ruled out. This has been extensively studied already. They'd be anything but supermassive, though. The exact opposite, to be precise.
Smart dog :-)

The worst thing is some of these LinkedIn influencers have been spotted cutting and pasting these bullshit stories (not necessarily your one!) word for word. It's cringey enough as an original, but to copy it??
Cheers for the link - if I read right there’s a cliff around 100w where power use goes way up for extremely marginal improvements.

Below 100w it’s more linear, but that might depend on undercoating and the like as well.
> If by "content script" you mean the web page script, then this is true, but in that case the web page is collaborating with the extension. Whatever the web page is sending to the extension it could just as easily send anywhere on the internet.

Content script would be part of the extension that runs in the context of the webpage, and has access to the DOM

Yes, I agree this could be sent anywhere, but when sent to the background script with the sendMessage API, you don't get visibility into that with devtools out of the box

There is no legal requirement to eat 3 times a day.

Plenty of people eat once or twice a day. Some even give it a fancy name like intermittent fasting.
Actually they use four different. You can swap them yourself (15 - 20 EUR):

* Qualcomm (Atheros) -> GOOD (or even best?)
* Intel -> GOOD
* Realtek -> It works okay for average users
* MediaTek -> Bad or lack of reputation

The X13 is currently shipped with Qualcomm.
Older T14 seem to use mostly Intel.
On a P14 Lenovo we got a MediaTek (no reliable after Resume from Suspend) replaced by Realtek.

I would be happy if AMD and Qualcomm team up together again. The questionable ARM-Deal with Microsoft also didn't worked out well for Qualcomm.
LinkedIn is a hallucinogenic social media platform. Because people are using their professional identity on that platform, you can post that 1+1=3 and have people profusely thanking you for your valuable insights.

I have half considered to create a fake LinkedIn account to comment on all the BS that is posted, however life is too short.

I do the same, immediately unfollow people in my connections that like something of that kind. Now I follow just 3-4 connections who don't like a single thing, as I do.
Backing in is safer than head-in but if it’s possible, because sometimes it isn’t, pull-through is safer than backing in.

Caveat: Head-in is more appropriate for angled spaces.
I think this is an example of what are normally externalities being arbitrarily imposed on an individual though.

There are so many things companies and others do that impose costs on others that singling out only those which meet a threshold that make it worth taking to court creates a discontinuity in outcomes which makes it seem punitive here.

I also hope the fine here is proportional to his ability to pay. Bankrupting poor people for mistakes in the outdoors, where the same penalty is expensive but manageable for the rich, also doesn't seem just.

Look at the marginal tax rate in Finland and it makes you think the rationality of working at all:

I wonder if we just call the "deer fly" a "horsefly" here. We (Missouri, USA) have the little horseflies (maybe a 1/2") and then the giant horseflies (biggest I've caught was 3").
Lessons from the World’s Two Experiments in AI Governance
Interesting, but quite wild hypothesis. No mechanism was proposed on how black holes store dark energy.

In the end it may turn out that black holes are the source of both dark energy and dark matter.
One of the news stories is about the website itself:

Being succinct is also a neat excuse for leaving out details that are actually necessary for any scientist to replicate your paper. Oh and it allows certain interdisciplinary works to incorrectly abstract away technical details from the secondary domain.

You're not wrong, and in an ideal world it is a sensible way for experts to communicate amongst themselves. But at the same time this sort of deep reading is a fool's errand at least half the time IME, because the authors of the paper themselves did not carefully read every reference. And even when they did there are often subtle unpublished differences between a cited protocol and the protocol they actually used.

To be fair, it's possible this is a domain specific phenomenon, and I'm not especially familiar with human intelligence research. But it's a real problem in the areas of neurobiology and computational neuroscience I've studied.

I think it's in large part a natural consequence of trying to scale science in the wrong way, but there are also bad cultural factors and a few legitimately bad actors that push the issue even further.

The last time a chip company talked about "Efficiency" in this way, we got +10 years of 5% increments in performance and 50% in price increases for 2 and 4 core CPUs..

I know it's my PTSD, the words make sense but I really hope this is not code for "we can't get much more performance out of our architectures, so we'll focus in selling "efficiency".. "

I really hope I'm wrong, since the power consumed by this chips has gotten a bit out of hand ( not as much as the GPUs.. )
> I still find it unfathomable

Fathom this: some people make money, and lots of it, by confusing us about what to put in our mouths.
I suspect there are two factors at play: first, there are a lot of drive-by rust critics who spout of stuff they've read that plainly haven't really tried using rust themselves; second, I suspect that people want others to understand that while it might be challenging, it's not as hard as most people make it out to be and the payoff can be worth it. While you might find forward progress hard initially, you won't accidentally delete the universe in the process, and the compiler and rust community is quite helpful in getting you on course.

For me as someone who came from primarily working in Python, I really appreciate the strict type system that comes with Rust and have been quite productive in it, even if it feels like I've hit a wall at times. I think it'd be a shame for other people in my shoes to not even explore the possibility because they think it's only meant for a certain class of low-level C++-style programmer.
Conversely, an opt-in dataset would surely consist of 99.99% spam.
Every ad blocker asks for "read and change all your data on websites" permission, same as page scrapers/readability tools - so depending on the disguise I think it won't be hard to get this permission.
$300,000 for the average person, isn’t a lesson. It’s an albatross around their neck that will be their for perhaps their whole life and cause huge problems for at the very least decades. May as well make it $300,000,000. I don’t think of that as “justice” so much as “justice porn” so those of us who weren’t fined $300,000 can look and say, “What a great job the system did.”

Neurons are stateful. I don't think you can say that neurons are stochastic, we don't know enough to say that. We do know however that single cell organisms can display remarkable amount of intelligence, so it is more likely that the neuron is doing a lot of stateful computation and decides how to treat its inputs based on that instead of just being random firing.

Some neurons might output pseudo random sequences, but I doubt humans has a lot of those since humans are very non-random and bad at generating random stuff.
How often do you create new accounts at FIDO-supporting sites? You must have a different internet usage model than I do.

You can also add the additional keys later. If it's a serious enough account to be protecting with hardware keys, and you only have a couple keys with you, add a note in your password manager to remind you to add your other FIDO keys. You could add that note to the username so you can't login without editing the username and acknowledging it.

It sounds like a non-issue you're turning into a hypothetical concern because... I don't know, you don't like paying a quite modest amount of money for increased security?

Falling into some water won't brick a yubikey anyway.

Sure:

- All moderation queues: https://files.jotaen.net/!nmezmQKFdH

- View for reviewing something: https://files.jotaen.net/!KwekXrbj36

- Popover when selecting “Share Feedback”: https://files.jotaen.net/!FgRNhhfAT8

- Resulting comment after selecting one of the canned responses: https://files.jotaen.net/!JUtTBMxApL

Last time I used this system was multiple years ago. As I just took the screenshots, it appears some things have changed compared to how I remember it from the past. Specifically: (take with a grain of salt, though!)

- the option whether to share feedback “as yourself”, I think that used to be the default back then, and the “Community Bot” seems new.

- the “custom comment” option didn’t used to be available in all queue categories.

By the way, there was no onboarding to this moderation system whatsoever, so when I reached the required karma threshold (2000 or so?), I just got access to it à la “there you go, please help yourself”.

Also, there is no way to communicate with other moderators on an issue, but everyone is just doing their own thing in isolation until there appears to be some “statistical consensus”.
I see your point, but I still think this is a matter of preference and priorities.

I stand by the original argument that for most people, a minor twitch of their fingers on the trackpad reveals this information if they want it. I very rarely do want this though, and on average I prefer that it's not shown by default, or until I move.

This discussion was prompted by a UI fail in presenting relevant security information. Relying on permanent scroll bars would still be a UX fail, even if it were the default on Macs.
For me it is 3/4 just this type of address book or my company's talent search posts.

The other 1/4 is a flood of r/linkedinlunatics material which is getting increasingly more common and worse. Platitudes about leadership, work life and mediocre, thoughtless hot takes on whatever field the OP is working in.

It feels very much the same as Instagram influencers superficial bullshit posts but now it targets the professional world rather than potential consumers.

I love cooking, it's been a hobby since I was 11.

But not for myself, for myself is just a chore. I will gladly spend 1-3 hours in the kitchen with prep, cooking time, setting up plates and so on for loved ones or guests. For my day-to-day? I'd much rather just pop a portion of Jake Food (my favourite powdered food after trying a few different brands), shake it and drink it knowing that it's vegan and has been designed to contain most of the micronutrients and protein I need.

I used to cook all the time for myself, accruing the time of prep, cooking, and cleaning; on top of that forcing myself to eat something for days in a row that I didn't really feel like I wanted to but had to so it wouldn't spoil, I prefer to have a practical way to get the nutrition to survive.

Cooking nice food can be saved for when I can enjoy it properly. I love having my lunch hour free for myself to do what I feel like.
Sounds like whoever named the trails ought to be the ones actually held responsible then?
I love the message and the sentiment. It's why I value and enjoy coming across personal websites with effort. The biggest thing I've noticed is that while the adoption and ease of use the various social media websites/platforms, frameworks, boilerplates have brought on there was general decline in computer skills for the general population.

I remember being in school and have computer class where one part of the class was dedicated to setting up a website and learning the ins and outs. I still recall as I left the schooling system the class and activities still survived albeit adapted. Time has passed and things do change but I still see the modern web exactly as it has been if anything discoverability has been the biggest factor of exposure to more uniqueness in the web.
It's somehow worse than Facebook because the 'social media' aspect is flooded with posts from what people refer to as LinkedInfluencers competing with each other to post the most cringeworthy brand-safe corporate-worshiping 'motivational' content you can imagine.
This is Troubleshooting 101; "Divide and Conquer."

I'm not sold on this guy's conviction. I know the internet loves seeing people punished, but this guy needed his life saved.

I've been hiking plenty, and these mistakes he made are very common (except for going 50 miles off to start... that's wild). Rarely do we bring lighting or GPS beyond our phones. We never bring enough water. Trails are often overgrown and it's tough to tell where one begins and another ends, sometimes you end up on the wrong trail for a bit. Trail ratings are often off. Even on easy trails, a misstep can mean serious injury or death. It is a much more dangerous activity than most think.

I'm glad he didn't end up as another dead hiker.
I can't find this post from a physicist, but they had their bicycle stolen and the police had given up searching the CCTV log because it was taking them too long, despite the fact that it was pointed at the bicycle.

He told them that even if the CCTV log went back to the earth's formation, they would only need to take about 57 stills to pinpoint the second the bike was stolen (apparently they were not persuaded).
Oh I missed your point about Dansk alone. Not really surprising that you have never seen a company called Dansk before. It would make no sense in Denmark.

Does anyone have recommendations for meal replacement drinks like Soylent? I've been consuming Ample exclusively Monday-Friday for quite a while but it's super expensive. I've been looking at Huel since it's much cheaper but looking for opinions, especially from people who have tried both.
