My Excel is indeed running natively, but I did find via Activity Monitor two other leftover things that are Intel that I should either get rid of, or update. I doubt they're the cause of any significant battery drain compared to Chrome (actually Edge now, but I doubt it's any better given the Chromium base), and I have other Intel software without Apple Silicon alternative, but it was still a useful thing to do.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing that. I look forward to spending many afternoons scrolling infinitely through Wikipedia.
That is a loss with crushed dreams and ruined hopes for a massive payout.

More likely that Figma will instead use that extra $1B to fund for an IPO to make it up for this blocked acquisition.
This is the case across most Big Tech. If not for compensation, why would you choose to work in a large organization? Tech productivity peaks somewhere around 500-2k engineers in an org, by the time you hit 10-50k different groups look like different companies in terms of coordination tax.

Because these are not mostly disputes over money or material goods. They’re over honour. If the broader society showed some sign of caring about honour the way petty thugs who do drive by shootings to receding slights do they’d shift to the societally airbed way quickly. In the bourgeois society we have where dignity not honour is how worth is ascribed there’s no script for them to follow. Insofar as society is becoming victimhood based on how it conceived worth that’s equally unappealing.

You imply that people who get "incandescent" about CPS abuse children, or believe that government should not have the right to stop parents who abuse children. I do neither of those things, yet I remain "incandescent" about CPS. So that you can understand why, I'll share a personal anecdote.

When I was in elementary school, CPS received an anonymous allegation of child abuse regarding my parent. That was false—there was no abuse. CPS investigated by sending a social worker to my school, who interviewed my sibling and me individually. My teacher insisted on being present so we would not be alone with the interviewer, something I've appreciated ever since I was old enough to understand the implication. In the end, the conclusion was: no abuse.

Later, CPS received another false, anonymous allegation. Our family went to a CPS facility, and my sibling and I were interviewed individually. A (non-parental) relative was allowed to be present. Conclusion: no abuse.

Later, CPS received yet another false, anonymous allegation. A cop showed up at our door, and threatened my parent with arrest if my sibling and I were not willingly given up to the cop. The cop drove us to another city in another county over 50 miles away, where we were taken to a safe house and interviewed individually by CPS, with nobody in the building except two social workers, us two children, and the police officer who had taken us from our home indefinitely. Conclusion: no abuse. At the end of the day, our parent picked us up.

I have had a deep mistrust of and visceral aversion to police and CPS ever since. Being taken from a safe, stable, loving home and not knowing if you will ever come back is deeply traumatic. It doesn't matter that we weren't taken for long—the damage was already done. My sibling and I knew that it could have easily gone the other way, and that it could easily happen again.

Thanks to that incident, I fully believe the parent in this story: https://reason.com/2019/04/25/adam-lowther-child-services-po...

It is very similar to what I experienced, except in magnitude. But... after the third incident, we sued CPS, and received a favorable outcome. If we had not known or had the resources to do so, perhaps the situation would have continued to escalate.

Cases where children are left with abuse parents are horrifying and sad. But I know the solution is not to give CPS free rein, low oversight, and the power to ignore due process. Doing so irreparably harms a different set of children.
> Human creations are far better still than AI ones.

I have seen many examples of AI-generated art where it's beyond my taste level to see how it could be improved on by human hands. And stuff that I genuinely appreciated for what it is, divorced from how it was made.

I am reminded that very early on with Midjourney, before this wave of AI gen art was wider known, there was a story of someone winning an art competition with a piece generated with it. [1]

But, aside from disagreement on the dimension of "good", the one area AI gen seems clearly unparalleled in is "fast". That's likely enough to disrupt.

> what CAUSES the geometric curvature in the first place.

The object that collapsed to form the black hole.

> If the interior of a black hole becomes a vacuum, what continues to assert the intense space-time curvature that the new destroyed matter once created?

Nothing has to. The curvature maintains itself once it is formed by the collapsing matter. This is an example of an effect of the nonlinearity of the Einstein Field Equation.
A good quote from the the LoK producers:

Counter strike global offensive still has a level editor. Though yeah fewer games nowadays ship with the community servers and mod tools you need to have that kind of organic community.

For machine learning, it makes a lot of sense. Effectively, training is a function that returns a function, after all.
That is pretty interesting. I have USAA but from time to time I look for a better price. I drive the base trim of the cheapest car Honda has ever marketed in America, just 3000 miles a year, and in 35 years of driving have never had a claim of any kind or a ticket. But I still pay $125/mo for this service, which strikes me as crazy. It's nice to know that if I ever have a claim I will get award-winning service, I guess?
These risks have not increased substantially in the last 20 years, and in many ways they have decreased e.g. the mandatory backup cameras in new cars.

That's largely changed. I grew up in rural areas where this was true. In fact, we didn't bother locking our doors when I was a kid.

When one of my sons, at age 4 or 5 picked up a brick and hit my other son in the head with it "just to see what would happen" he got a spanking.

He got to see what would happen.

And you know what? He never did anything like that again.

I don't think that spanking should be a go-to punishment, but in some cases, especially those involving high danger, a small child needs to have a fundamental fear of breaking certain rules.

I'd rather have to give a child a spanking for trying to run out into the road than to have a dead child and some sort of moral superiority.
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone. - Blaise Pascal
To expand upon a peer comment, there are 4 broad outcomes in a democratic election:

1) fair, and the people think its fair

2) fair, but the people think its rigged

3) rigged, but the people think its fair

4) rigged, and the people think its rigged

In most people's minds, it's 1/2 and 3/4 are, more or less, the same. After all, all that really matters is what really happened. But in terms of a democracy, it's 1/3 and 2/4. The reason is that the whole point of a democracy is to help create a peaceful and stable system because people believe they can change their political future with a ballot instead of a pitchfork and torch.

But when that belief fades it doesn't really matter if faded because of reality or just perception. And when this happens, you lose the benefits of a democracy and the peace starts to disappear. There is literally nothing more important for the stability and security of a democracy than perception of its integrity. Elections that linger on for days with odd looking events abounds destroy this perception, regardless of whether or not everything is actually completely on the up and up.

Of course what happened in this case wasn't child abuse. But the reporter didn't say "I saw them playing outside". They said "the child is being neglected". Yes, it turns out the reasons for the person calling saying so were wrong. But if the child wasn't being given food or medical care it would have been reported the same way. So the government had to investigate.

Using the future knowledge that the investigation turned up nothing to suggest it should not be done isn't really something that can be applied.
It does look like it would be doable without neural networks. My guess (having read their paper but not worked in the domain) is that it would be doable but requires a lot of iterations, tweaking parameters and dealing with corner cases. That would give you something running almost instantaneously but it would take a year to develop with tight feedback from domain experts.

Or, you can throw a (relatively standard for that kind of task) neural network at the problem, have a prototype at the end of the week and something solid by the end of the month.

In those conditions it makes sense to go with the neural network based solution (however, I do hope that having this result will push people to work on a more traditional approach that is competitive with the neural network based one).
Valuing a hedge fund is inherently difficult (past performance is no guide to future returns, after all); valuing one whose reputation is centered on one individual who's about to leave is even more so.

Well how about cyberpunk philosophical gladiatorial debates? I challenge Daniel Dennet (sp?) to a philosophical debate about free will. Wait no. I challenge him to an MMA fight. If he declines, he gets to pick his favorite UFC fighter to fight by proxy (like Game of Thrones, but we'll both survive). But Dennet can't just pay the fighter off. The fighter has to actually think Dennet's a genius. And, I get to have the opportunity to talk the fighter out of the fight before the match. I've actually already issued this challenge via YouTube (3681 seconds into the video; the link jumps to the appropriate spot in the video). https://youtu.be/S7DOb539UeA?t=3681

Use the partial derivatives of the topo height to calculate a normal. dot that normal against your fake sun angle to shade your terrain.
it seems though that the magic in this is in throwing away specific details and changing the sun angle when it is aesthetically pleasing which makes sense.
on the surface it looks like you should be able to use the heightfield and standard filters to get a reasonable result but I'll take their word for it that real world data will prove more difficult.

So in theory working there opens doors.

It used to be similar in finance, where getting that internship at Mckinsey/Bain/BCG or in BIG4 (deloitte, ey, kpmg, pwc) meant something - in some countries it was like 1000 candidates per 1 place. But I feel it is much fewer nowadays.
Yeah I thought the client got a lot of this extra information for performance reasons more than anything e.g. only play enemy shooting sounds if the enemy is nearby - do all the processing on the client so that the server doesn't need to work out a matrix of who can hear who and send the appropriate message to each client.

This is just capitalism being capitalism. It takes the life out of everything. We're just machines who produce endless streams of dollars and trash for the parasitic capitalist ruling class. It's one big pyramid scheme.

All of this is designed to let you know that you are not in control of your own labor. Sure you can decide which capitalist to let own you for a time, but that's most people's only option. The few people who do make it on their own are used as propaganda to convince you that if you just put in extra work and make extra profit for a capitalist, you might make it someday too! "Just keep working harder and ignore the fact that you can afford less and less each passing year. It's all those lazy people who want workplace democracy who are to blame for the record-breaking profits the capitalists rake in every year".

The fix is stop using an economic system with a hierarchy of parasites embedded in it's design. It'll take work and it won't happen overnight, but some of us are already getting started because there is no future under Capitalism other than slavery.

> If someone makes a false claim that results in personal expenses for me that sounds like libel or defamation.

Then you don't know what libel or defamation is. But, yes, if someone makes a false report against you and that results in injuries to your reputation you can totally sue them for slander, libel or defamation (depending on how the report was filed).

As far as I know, no laws hide the identity of people reporting crimes. However, for very good reasons, we allow people to report crimes anonymously.
I don't own a Tesla, but my understanding is that autopilot is basically marketing speak for what everyone else calls lane assist and smart cruise control, while FSD is when the car is supposed to be able to drive for you. In other words this report is saying human drivers + automated safety features are safer than human drivers alone. In conditions where the Tesla will let someone enable autopilot in the first place.

The fact this is even a discussion is why I would never use Rails again. I suffered a decade of Ruby and never again.

Typescript is my language of choice because of its full stack flexibility and amazing tooling support because of typing. If you think typing systems are too confusing you're definitely not qualified to write monkey patches in an untyped language. Typing reduces minor bug iterations by 90%+, major bugs immensely, and ultimate development resources by 90%+.

One person can maintain a huge Typescript app with just basic tests. You need a teams of people to maintain 50x the number of tests and fix obscure bugs with any Ruby app.

I'm not even sure an AI could refactor a Ruby app properly, but Typescript any human can.
