One of my most-used utility class is "reset". Default styles are great, but they often get in the way, so I'll throw this on an element whenever I want to start from a blank slate, alongside other utility classes or a custom class. This can significantly cut down on the length of my CSS files, as well as make them much less brittle and less dependent on the HTML structure, because I don't need to repeatedly undo default styles in every rule I write. My scoped CSS files are typically under 100 lines, even for somewhat complicated things.

.reset {
display: inline;
appearance: none;
font: inherit;
border: none;
border-radius: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: inherit;
background: none;
list-style: none;
text-align: inherit;
user-select: inherit;
}

This is defined first in my CSS index file, so that any other classes will override it.

(Note that there's probably a better way of writing this rule. This is just something that evolved organically.)
Opened this article and immediately did a ctrl+f for 'immigration'. Not surprised to find only one hit toward the end where it is acknowledged as something that "might" be necessary.

Of course no society is forced to welcome outsiders, and from my very detached anthropological view on the situation, it looks like the Japanese would rather die (slowly, and then perhaps very suddenly as the weight of their society can no longer be borne by the next generation) than change.
I think this would be a stupid idea but you can buy an Antminer for $2458 and it does 104 TH/S for SHA256. I think doing a bit of hacking to make it crack the ransomware might be feasible?
The intention is the difference.

The value of a book is that you experience the world through a viewpoint that is different than your own.

That viewpoint may not be pretty, or fun, or something you agree with. Honestly - most of the books that I value challenge me by exposing me to something raw and unfiltered that I have not experienced myself.

---

That editor also doesn't have the experiences of the author, and changing word choice is changing the world that author is speaking about.

If the author's goal is to actually tell a genuine story that they connect with - to expose the world to their own thoughts and feelings and history - then changing those things is not trivial.

---

I don't want to read a bland mash of "editor approved" stories. I want to read stories that are told by individuals, with all their quirks and intricacies.

I want to hear their opinions and words. Not some filtered, white washed, toned down version of them.

I want to make up my own mind about whether that story was valuable, or touching, or compelling, or horrible, or repelling. I don't want to never hear it in the first place because an editor decided they didn't like it and struck it out.

---

Basically - if the author doesn't give a shit and is just trying to sell the most books... fine. Go with the editor's picks for the words. Let them control the narrative and story. They have the most experience with selling books and their advice is probably decent.

If the goal is to write down a story that is meaningful to the author... don't change the author's words.
I believe the apparent paradox is that the 'net force' is not the same thing as pressure; it's basically the vector sum of pressure. Pressure in the Earth is an isotropic distribution of stresses, so that in a north-east-up coordinate system, the upward-pushing stress is matched by the downward-pushing stress, the eastward-pushing stress is matched by the westward-pushing stress, etc. So while these sum to zero in some sense, their magnitude is the density of the rock between the point and the surface times the depth times gravity. This is like going deeper in the ocean-the forces are equal in all directions, meaning that they sum to zero in some sense and there is no directional flattening or translation, but they still increase with depth.
I don't think the non-technical critique has been addressed at all. It's been downplayed and dismissed to bring the discussion back to the technical accomplishments. What I'm saying is Rust's technical achievements aren't very useful if adoption isn't there. Adoption depends on getting the non-technical things right.

Nothing has been said about how to address the pathology seemingly unique to Rust making it suffocatingly toxic. It's the only programming language in recent memory where people scour the Internet condemning people for writing software in any other language. Even when the software is written in Rust, if it's not to some mythical standard, the community will unleash a wave a hate like in the case of Actix. There's memes about the "Rust evangelist strike force" plaguing open-source software authors to "rewrite it in rust". I can't think of any other language that has anything similar. Shrugging this off is an attempt to diminish and minimize the damage, rather than acknowledging the problem.

Presenting a false dichotomy solely on technical merits misses the big picture.
In this case, you don't need ML. Apple has a dictionary of music styles and you just need to be able to exclude certain styles.

The ethanol is required as an anti-knock additive.

I think so. I don't know if this is still the case, but I believe there was a policy to not carry any patches that haven't been merged upstream.

I’d be fine with them just building more housing and taxing either land value or empty units.
Not true. We went decades without lead or ethanol. You can still get ethanol-free gas if you look hard, and modern engines run quite happily on it.
The golden age of open-source AI is ahead of us. Open-source AI companies are being launched and funded. High quality, large, labeled data sets have never been more accessible, and scaling law plateaus means there is going to be a lot more momentum on data- and compute-optimization, meaning current SOTA models will start fitting on smaller and smaller hardware, down to commodity hardware.
unaltered housing markets have the same market signals of candy markets. If housing is "artificially expensive", others can build new housing and collect all of the customers. In this instance, find "Real Page" communities and build similar housing next to them and offer 5-10% less than Real Page and take all of the renters. The big problem in housing is the NIMBY and regulations surrounding it.
If you're using the Pi Pico as a starting point, you can get going with just a USB cable. At least as far as micropython is concerned. You can use a second Pico as a programmer board if you're going much further than that.

Looking a the other comments, it seems like there's some meta-commentary on the social and commercial positioning of art going on here. Along the lines of "taking no position is really bold," which is supposed to make this an interesting performative exercise... maybe?

To me it's kind of interesting that this person's stream of consciousness results in such visually coherent stuff, but that's about it. One might need to be more plugged in to modern art culture to get anything "moving" out of the meta.
The really terrible kind.

Japanese doctors made a big chunk of their money performing abortions. They lobbied to outlaw most forms of birth control, because it interfered with their abortion revenue.

There are plenty of stories of Japanese doctors saying, “Your pregnancy test is positive, when should we schedule the abortion?”

This wasn’t formal government policy, but the government did support it.

The birth control pill wasn’t legalized in Japan until the 1999. Plan B wasn’t legalized until 2011. Abortion by medication is still illegal.
I saw a documentary recently about this, its called ‘Core’ where they build a ship to dive into the mantle to spin up this ball of iron using nukes.

On a serious note, it’s amazing that we still have studies about this, and revising our knowledge!
I think it greatly depends on
whether you choose the word deliberately or accidentally, and what the reaction is if you insist on keeping the word.
Taxing empty units -- yes, 100%

Taxing land value -- this unfortunately leads to them passing on the taxes to renters, and rental housing becomes ever more unaffordable
I’m just saying building a system that encourages/hides dependencies leads to bad software engineering in my opinion. Elixir does it the way I’ve outlined and I think that’s one of the many decisions they got right.

Yes I remember corn based ethanol, among other alternatives for liquid fuel production, were hot topics during the Bush Administration. If I recall correctly an issue of NatGeo/SciAm/NewSci wrote that it wouldn't achieve it's goals or benefits and there better avenues such as algae to explore and I believe at least for Brazil, further sugar cane waste utilization. It always struck me as odd to see we've stayed the course on this approach when even in the beginning the numbers weren't adding up.
So what would the opposite of this look like? What software could we make for renters that would increase their market power?
The net force is 0 in the same way that if two people are pushing you from opposite sides, their net force on you is also zero. You're still being crushed from both sides.
Is the word the only issue, or the sentiment it is conveying? The passage and others in the book are not made ‘bad’ just because of that word.

I was actually talking about the risk of spreading viruses globally, not CO2 (although that is another important point as well of course).
Yeah basically. If people are watching AI stuff for entertainment, I don't really care or particularly think it's a problem. My issue is the impossibility of finding good information on any kind of paid products or services on the web.

Youtube genuinely does a better job on that and I think it'll be quite a bit harder for AI generated video to game it, if nothing else the sub count on the channel and the comment section (or its status as disabled) will be indicators.
This is exactly what RealPage is doing. It's asking rental companies to increase prices. It's then turning around and marketing those percentage increases as a reason to use its software.

So yeah, "you" can, if you're one of those AI SaaS companies.
> They said (or implied) it's a robust prediction of GR for our actual universe.

Who is "they"? The people who published the singularity theorems didn't say that. They only said the theorems are mathematically valid given the assumptions, and they proved that by proving the theorems. They didn't say the assumptions had to be satisfied in our actual universe. In fact, most physicists say the opposite: that the mathematical validity of the singularity theorems shows that at least one of the assumptions they are based on must be violated in our actual universe, since it would be physically unreasonable for there to be singularities in our actual universe.

> I merely said we don't really know what's happening with the matter once it's inside the black hole / close to the singularity.

In the sense that most physicists believe a singularity is physically unreasonable, yes, I agree. But in the absence of a better model, that doesn't help very much. The nice thing about the hypothesis under discussion here is that it holds out the prospect of a better model, if it can be made to work.
Gasoline unlocks carbon that was buried underground. If we can avoid that surely its better?

But, as you said, google is already stealing your data anyway. Would paying a bit of money every month really make that any worse?

But aside from that, it's totally possible to minimize your exposure and still pay for Premium. What I do is have a Google account that is only used for YouTube, paid for through a prepaid debit card, and I only watch YouTube on a single tablet that is not used for any other purpose.

It's not perfect protection, but it's also not terrible.
See this recent HN discussion on an email overview with a good IMAP explainer:

https://explained-from-first-principles.com/email/#internet-...

Proton Mail Bridge (for use with something like a desktop Thunderbird on Linux setup) does require the paid tier of Proton, which isn't immediately clear. Unlike Google they're not making money of harvesting and selling personal data, so I don't really mind.

addendum:
The IMAP state diagram is a finite state machine, interestingly enough:

I believe you should understand "original" in the parent as in quotation marks as well. The "original" here is akin to referencing the "original" pledge of allegiance in the US, the one with "under god" appended during the red scare.

That is, the parent is saying they won't be surprised if Florida requires the line "catch a tiger by the toe" to instead be sung as "catch an [racial slur] by the toe".

Using UIDs is opt-in, by prefixing `UID ` in front of some commands. There are indeed extensions that add more `UID ` commands to the protocol. I've implemented IMAP clients and never used sequence numbers at all.
Agreed, the people building should ideally have the decision (which every now and then I think they are also liable to be overruled on).

But this seems to say they should be the only voice in the room too, which seems not right. It's not easy creating an environment where it's clear whose decision it is, and where teams feel ok brushing off other people's opinion. But I do think dialog & discourse are an important thing to maintain, and I am having a hard time seeing how that factors into this assertion.

It's not perfect but I like having the org use the RAPID framework at my last job, as it established some framing/roles for secision making & was clear who had what roles: R, recommender, gathers input - makes a formal recommemdation. A, agree, optional, people signing off on recommendation. P, perform, the team doing the work. I, input, provide info/advice t o recommemder. D, decide, the decider who commits org to task, based on recommendation & it's gathered inputs.

Often teams would be recommender, decider, & performer, but being clear on that was a nice positive.
You know, it's possible they wouldn't have to resort to such things if we weren't intent on sanctioning them to death.

As usual this is nonsense and irrelevant. Satoshi himself had over 1M coins but the vast majority of early coins are lost. According to that analysis many old lost wallets are these supposed whales.

The observation that is also unjustified is this idea that whales can prop up the price, how does that work exactly? if they hold the asset then selling it would lower the price, so hold on did they sell earlier and are using USD to buy now, but that would generate tax liabilities they would have to pay now and also lose transaction fees, yet supposedly they are propping up Bitcoin price. It’s a nonsensical theory.

'Eight legs' in Latin is 'octo pedes' which is really not that different. Octopi is euphonious, because it balances two broad syllables with a narrow one, although octopoda is more onomatapaeic.

As a data scientist who has created AI applications and built many models over the last 10 years, I can say beware of ChatGPT. AI derived knowledge should be used only by those who understand its limits.

One of the simplest AIs is a recommender. We put guardrails on using its predictions inside ecommerce apps by limiting what it learns from (purchases for instance) and limiting what it is used to predict (purchases). When Facebook uses a recommender it learns from time-on-site (a value to FB but not necessarily to the user and a complex behavior that can be comprised of may non-beneficial sub-behaviors) and use it to recommend things that lead to more time-on-site. This application is dangerously devoid of guardrails as so much recent evidence has shown.

Now we have a text generating AI that has been trained from a great swath of human knowledge. That means the teachings of Gandhi as well Hitler, etc. What do you expect it to "know" as truth? Generative AI that is used to generate thoughts from this training corpus MUST have contradictory and downright evil ideas since it has no way to judge between ideas it learns from.

Generative AI in this form can be nothing but psychopathic until guardrails can be devised to limit its psychopathic responses OR the corpus it learns from can be labeled in a way to flag what is "bad", if we can even agree on what that means.

Psychopaths can be useful if they are knowledgeable but beware, you are talking to a psychopath in ChatGPT.
So how are they doing now?

Statistican used to be kinda insane wizard figures in a lot of hospitals. Because thinking hard about statistics literally requires you to think really hard about unknowns and simplifying/modeling the entire world using equations. But a lot of that sense of the herculean task has been lost in the modern "data science", where neural nets are basically treated as a panacea, there are no measurement errors, and all problems are perfectly predicted.

If a statistican from the 50s walked into a modern start up office, they'd laugh at the lack of validation and testing and not be at all shocked when none of the predictions worked

There was an interview I watched recently that said the whole factory animal farming industry basically relies on maintaining a distance between the consumer and the farms, as the average consumer doesn't want to think or consider how the meat arrived, etc.

Also what is jaw dropping, is the scale of slaughter of many different animals. Perhaps none more than chicken. I don't remember the exact number(can easily google) but it is massive. I do think we need to consider how all this scale has helped drive down costs and availability of food which further helped alleviate human hunger around the world. Though, I feel sad every time I hear of a story of a barn fire at one of these farms killing like 50K chickens at once. Or the recent bird flu cases, where they need to cull all the birds to stop it from spreading. And I remember the stories during the onset of Covid, where they had to basically cull huge numbers of animals, because restaurants, etc would shut down for the near future.

One other thing that has felt awful to me is that of mink farming. I don't understand how that business still exists(some places it's banned, but not everywhere). Especially with all the textile technology, and means we have in today's world, it seems morally wrong to subject these these animals to suffer needlessly, and also get affected by these flu's, etc. which leads to massive culls.
