I'm not an active RYM user (have circa 150 old ratings), but automatic recommendations it gives me are pretty decent. I think one needs to rate 30-50 albums or so (forgot where I got the number from) to get them. The strength of RYM is its unique crowd-sourced genre system, which it takes into account when recommending albums, so it's worth trying :)

One problem — nowadays politicians would be absolutely DDOS’d by duel challenges.

We might bring back more explicit ideas of classes… but I mean, at least any congressperson would have to be able to challenge any other, right? So we’d have candidates successfully running on “I’ll duel <lightning rod congressperson of the day>.”

I mean, that, on top of all the other reasons the idea of dueling is ridiculous, hahaha.

If I open something in private browsing, that’s a time where I especially want every bit of BS blocked.
If someone makes a false claim that results in personal expenses for me that sounds like libel or defamation. Allow me to find out who they were so I can sue them. I value my time at least for say $1000 per CPS visit and $300 per hour I have to spend dealing with the investigation they knowingly initiated with their libel.

The laws hiding the identity of people abusing children by making these trumped up reports should be re-evaluated.

Edit: CPS investigation technically is a civil and not criminal investigation (typically) so you can see the very clever hack below did using word 'crime' to hide the fact the law prevents revealing identity of callers in this 'civil' complaint. In fact their wordsmithing is pretty brilliant in they also tried to redefine the elements of defamation which include damages or harm to reputation rather than damages from harm to reputation. 10/10 for lawyering and 0/10 for faithful rebuttal.
Huh interesting. And I've never seen someone make curryable functions in lisp, though I'm not surprised you can lol.
Yeah that's post-publication peer review, which I tend to gravitate towards myself; un-peer-reviewed papers in my field, posted on biorxiv, are generally of pretty high quality. (this might change as preprinting becomes a fully established route in biology)

Any peer review added to that might improve some things, but is it worth it to add ~6 months to the publication timeline for a marginally improved manuscript? I'd say no.

What kind of insanely high growth business is going to either generate enough revenue for a Sr. Dev's full yearly salary (or close to it) or lead to investment in just a few months?

Even if you're an insanely well connected person it's going to take more than a few months to put together a pitch deck and a POC for a new business and then raise enough money to pay yourself and a few other people.

Realistically, if you're starting a startup and not currently working, plan on having at least 12 months of expenses saved (not a few months).
How much of this is Autopilot only being used in safer situations?

There’s also been reports of autopilot disengaging seconds before a crash, so those technically didn’t occur while Autopilot was active

>being 10x closer would mean jamming signal 100x stronger.

At a specific frequency.

The effect is similar to how a nearer radio station at a given frequency -- will typically block out others that are at the same frequency, yet farther away...

But does a strong radio station nearby mean that all other radio stations at all other radio frequencies are simultaneously blocked?

No -- someone can simply turn the dial and tune in to a different radio frequency, and listen to another "unblocked" / "unjammed" station...

If Starlink frequency hops, that is, automatically changes its frequency if bands of the RF spectrum are blocked -- then it will be much more difficult for the state actor to block all of them at the same time -- especially if each individual Starlink subscriber could frequency hop with no pre-set pattern, that is, independent of all of the others...
That’s what I’m using now and love it.

Agree. Installing one adobe app requires the installation of their app manager which sits in the background. Also the one app installed, installs and creates about 10 different directories, excess junk, pretty much what adobe has become. Now they try to buy out brilliant apps like figma which will only kill the life of it IMO.

they hypothesized that this particular drug/hormone intervention would have a particular effect, and an experiment was needed to confirm the hypothesis. Further experiments might show that they were even wrong even about this one, and there is some other interaction going on to fully explain what's going on.

This article was made in response to The internet was designed with a narrow waist, discussed 361 days ago [1].

I posted this article now because I saw a compelling comment on yesterday's thread Time to get the Posix elephant off our necks?. An excerpt:

---

The Unix Philosophy, as stated by Peter Salus [1] is:

1. Write programs that do one thing and do it well

2. Write programs that work together

3. Write programs to handle text streams because text is a universal interface.

The problem is that, in practice, you can only pick two of those. ...

If you want programs that do one thing and do it well, and programs that work together, then you have to abandon "plain text", and enforce some kind of common data format

I'm a bit late to this thread but this is the difference: In price gouging you're influencing the elasticity of the product by telling your consumers (explicitly or implicitly) that they should be ready to pay more because input costs have increased. You're moving the equilibrium itself to a higher price by exploiting consumer misunderstanding.
I know it's just... weird. SK embarked on a path of rapid industrialization by handing a massive amount of power to corporate conglomerates (chaebols). They're like a developing nation in that respect... they just happen to be a developing nation that is on the forefront of certain high-tech industries. Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and the other chaebols utterly run the political sphere in a sense that is obscene even by western standards.

The president being jailed a couple years ago for being a chaebol pawn is kind of indicative of the whole thing, and nothing has really changed.

On the other hand maybe that's the shadowrun future in store for us all. ;)
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that a 2D map is going to have roads and valleys and big green spaces in the mountainsides and peaks. The neural net identifies that villages and curvy roads represent valley floors and interpolate where the mountain slopes are.
Not only is crime lower, but there were no cell phones back then! Today a child is only a phone call or text away at any time, and it is trivial for a parent to track their child in real time. As a child in the 80s I would regularly come home from school, fling my book bag in the house, get on my bike, and ride off with the other kids, not to return until nightfall. My parents had no idea what I was doing or where I was going. The level of fear and paranoia now is insane.
To be fair, much potential of such a memory model (notably, where the data dependency of pointer-chasing (and anything else where an earlier load is used to compute a later load's address) doesn't force a matching order of when the load instructions execute (pull the data out of cache and into a register)) is only unlocked once you have substantial contention (or some contention plus latency between cache and actual memory, like if you go across PCIe/some-other-NUMA-fabric, or access Optane memory) along with load address speculation (this can be done automatically or through explicit prefetch instructions).

In the absence of a read fence, you can speculate the address of a second load, execute this second load in parallel with a first load, and ignore a cache invalidation (or just not wait until you can rule out an asynchronously transmitted one) hitting the second load so long as the address (computed from the first load's data) was correctly predicted.
It hits even harder when the predicted address was a cache hit and the first load experienced a cache miss, because now you can speculate execution using the second load's data (delivered from the cache) and retain/confirm/retire the results of the speculated computation as soon as the first load's data returns and the computation of the second load's address confirms the speculated one.

An example is read-only access to data structures with pointer chasing while a different core performs copying garbage collection. Because the data is (semantically) read-only, the old copy and the new copy are both equally valid, and as long as you don't accidentally read the new space before the copy was written into it, you can pointer-chase freely through these structures reading the next e.g. linked-list entry from either the old or the new place (if you speculate correctly).

Critically, this could get by with invalidating only cached data for the copy target range, ensuring readers don't get the uninitialized data, without invalidating their cache of the copy source range. Of course that would require sufficiently targeted invalidation.

Other cases like e.g. typical union-find / disjoint-set datastructures work just fine with standard fence-free Alpha memory accesses, at the slight cost of `union` operations not coherently affecting outcomes of `find` operations. That's often not a problem, though, as parallel applications already have to cope with the `union` racing the "subsequent" `find` operations (and ending up with the `union` happening last).
Entirely. People pointed this (that Autopilot is only possible to engage on the freeway and that drivers will do so only in situations they feel comfortable with) out to Tesla each of the previous times they released such numbers, and they haven't corrected it, which tells you all you need to know about what the corrected numbers would show.
Until Tesla (or any other manufacturer) assumes legal liability for any crashes via autopilot, this is all empty posturing. If you believe in your product, then put your money where your mouth is, end of story. Until then, please don't waste your breath, because that's incontrovertible proof that you don't believe in the safety of your product.
“Run in the other direction” is so generic that it isn’t helpful. No one else going in that direction is, at best, unrelated to the quality of the idea and, at worst, a heuristic that the idea is bad.
So should the complaints not be investigated? how do you purport that a complaint be investigated without having a 'bias-response team' (the complaint was related to bias, right?) 'come after you' (whatever that means)? is the problem the name of the team?
I think what's meant here it's that the manufacturer chose to target specific patient groups (T2D) and commercial insurances to get the highest profit per dose.
About 40% of adults in the US are obese, they could have made the drug available at much lower cost and get their profits from economies of scale. Instead, the production is low and the focus is narrow.
AT&T has to be among the worst. These jagoffs would send me no fewer then three texts at all hours of the day or night to simply tell me there was nothing with my account. No exaggeration: They would badger me repeatedly to say that my bill auto-pay had succeeded... and then that I could save $5 by signing up for auto-pay... and some other inexcusable nonsense.

I logged every call I made to them, during many of which they swore they'd stop it. Eventually they started claiming that they couldn't. I had to block AT&T's number on my phone.

How execrably stupid do they have to be to send "everything's fine" texts over and over and over instead of, at the very most, sending an E-MAIL?
It's also redundant, just use uBlock Origin.
I think it’s a royal pain in the butt to be cleaning up the accumulated cruft of the monkey patches other people have added to your long-lived and massive Rails app. I’ve done it, and it sucks.

But it’s a wonderful, powerful tool to have in the toolbox, when used sparingly.

I wonder how much of the pain of monkey patching could be partially explained through the way that large companies maintain (or don’t maintain) their codebases? In my experience code is often hard to maintain because of a lack of continuity, context, and support from an employer to actually do the maintenance. In that world, monkey patching is an extra-special kind of hell.

I wonder sometimes if we might all feel less strongly about monkey patching if we had more time to care for the code we write.
Thankfully I've never had to make a claim, and I hope it stays that way!
1 in 3 people in the US are obese. It is not just about eating more calories than needed for a long time. The story is much much more complicated then that given that 1 in 3 people are obese.

It's like saying an overdose on heroin is simply someone doing too much heroin at a time.
Since docker-compose is designed to exclusively work with rootful containers (basically the only thing docker supports), it's not a surprise you're having problems trying to run it rootless.

Podman added an optional rootful daemon a few releases ago that you can run in place of/next to the docker daemon that (theoretically) supports all the same docker network functionality specifcally so docker and docker compose commands can be run unchanged on podman.
There's a ton of that sort of software, but with the upgrade to Ventura they dropped a whole range of them and really pared it down. Much of that stuff doesn't take up a whole lot of CPU anymore.

I really think the hardware of today must have more than enough raw power. Haven't I read about how much slower nerve cells are to signal than electronics?

Maybe we are developing supersonic aircraft in a "race" for a device that walks like a human with a natural gait.

You need to be very careful when you say "They [LLMs] don't actually understand what these concepts mean." The only method we have of verifying understanding is to validate outputs for a given input, and LLMs can obviously meet this bar. Unless you have another way?
> CDC estimates Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the United States every year. Food is the source for most of these illnesses.

~2% chance of an infection leading to hospitalization sounds pretty bad to me.
From the methods section, they're counting where it was on in up to the 5 seconds before the crash; I've no idea if that's reasonable or not, and it would be interesting to know what happens to the numbers if you push that up to 20s.

> To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed. (Our crash statistics are not based on sample data sets or estimates.) In practice, this correlates to nearly any crash at about 12 mph (20 kph) or above, depending on the crash forces generated.
Anything that improves crash statistics over those produced by human drivers is an improvement. It does not have to be perfect, but it does need to show it's safer than the average legal human driver.
The problem with electoral systems is that one of the key threat actors you need to protect against from are the people running the election. And so any sort of a "special" requirement goes out the window, because it's not really special when you have arbitrary access to it.

This is why public/transparent systems can be so powerful. They are literally impossible to cheat, even if a bad actor has complete unmoderated read/write access to every single system.
Is it that the percentage of accidents resulting in fatality has increased, or that the raw number of accidents has gone up overall? Is it just a simple function of more cars on the road, and the compounding effects of such?

Car companies have improved safety significantly even beyond regulated requirements. None in history have assumed legal liability for crashes.

No. Absorption rates are different. Liquefied fat of the same calories translates to more fat then plant with the same calories.

That's just an extreme example. The real culprit is processed foods.
Much like (in Australia at least), every time a car crashed that was being pursued by a police vehicle, the police would report that "the pursuit had been called off shortly before the crash" (and media would subsequently publish said report without question).

Back to Tesla - what sort of warning is given when the autopilot is going to disengage?
The answers that are interesting and worth discussing, are things like the introduction of hyperpalatable foods, excess oxidized omega 6 polyunsaturated fats, excess carbohydrates, excess fructose, etc., the debates rage on.

The answer that is not interesting is simply saying that people take in more calories than they expend, because it it tautologically true. People now are more health-conscious than at any point in human history. Basically no one wants to be fat, yet most people are, and we have far higher rates of chronic disease.
The best system we can currently observe, is in ML.

Look at stable diffusion as an example. Incredible papers, such as dreambooth, LORA, controlnet, are:

1. Published on arxiv before peer review

2. Productionised within 2 weeks of paper release (peer review not needed)

3. Community rapidly adapts tool, makes it easier to use.

4. Products built on such papers proliferate extremely rapidly within another few weeks.

In this system, peer reviews are worthless. The github code quickly demonstrates whether a technique is useful or not, and the community adoption rates replace citations as proof of a paper's power.

This is why AI art can progress at such insane rates, weeks from paper release to widespread productionisation.

Obviously, this won't work in most other domains, because there's no equivalent to mass consumer interest, open source communities, and low-cost experiments. But it does represent the ideal of an academic research paradigm.
Obsidian without git plugin is pretty much a non-starter for me. What's the point in a folder full of markdown files that can't be checked into git? Only works out of the box for the AppImage, for now. I can't remember why. I suppose I am missing out on 0-click updates of some kind.
