Even if you need X, Y, and Z to make something valuable, it doesn't mean X and Y are valueless without Z.

If you were the only person on the planet, then yes.

But X and Y still have option value. You can sell them our service them to others.

You can keep them, and continue looking for Z.

But X and Y are not valueless. You are just trying to take them in a direction (needing Z) that isn't deploying that value (until you get Z).

I recently asked how to use C++ thread pools with coroutines. there is code as an answer on my stack overflow question.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74520133/how-can-i-pass-...

I recently ported the coroutine code from

https://blog.dziban.net/coroutines/

To GNU Assembler.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/assembly see coroutines.S

I think the best combination is threads + coroutines with a IO event loop. This gives throughout for CPU tasks and IO scalability.

ChatGPT gets the rules to the pokemon trading card game wrong. It will tell you you can use 4 energy a turn. Convincingly. Not sure how it hallucinates this. The rule is 1 per turn.
I was just commenting to a colleague about how ridiculous it is to still have a US payment/checking system that allows "pull" transactions from anyone with your account numbers, rather than a "push" system where you explicitly have to authorize sending money from your bank accounts. Like every other modern country you might think of.

Our ACH system (plus the uncertainty of money clearing, holding periods, fraudulent checks / debits) creates such bad side effects for everyone, this PayPal situation included.

I know there are some efforts to initiate a Fed-administered transfers system, but have no idea how it's going.

We (with US government as a mediating authority) don't seem to be in control of having an effective banking system, and it's just getting more confusing over time.

It is infuriating that Google seems to be doing nothing about scam ads. For years I have been seeing "Click to install iPhone update!!!" ads on YouTube mobile. Easy to have huge profit margins when your company hires no humans to do things like customer support and ad vetting.

The comment starting this thread referenced it as "his lectures on quantum gravity".

Thanks for pointing out the youtube playlist-only search option -- that should be handy.
It hallucinates that you can use 4 energy per turn in Pokemon TCG and confidently tells you so. No idea where that would come from.
I have access to the paper. First, the actual measured capacity is 685 Wh/kg, not 1200; the researchers stated they hope to reach the latter figure with further development. In order:

- Wh/L is 619, so the battery just barely floats. The absence of a dense metal oxide cathode probably makes it lighter than the usual lithium battery cell (which have s.g. ~2).

- Charging rate is given as 1 A/g for a 1 Ah/g electrode, so these numbers were measured with a 1-hour charge time. Data for higher charge rates is buried in the Supporting Information (which may be public?)

- Discharge rate is the same.

- Cost to produce is unclear. The electrolyte contains about 1-2% germanium (5 wt% of Li10GeP2S2), and the cathode contains molybdenum. It is difficult to give the Mo concentration with certainty because the specific area of the cathode is given as "250 g/m^2" but it should be as "m^2/g". Assuming a simple typo, the cathode contains 25 mg of Mo per cubic centimeter, which is sometimes written "2.5% w/v". These are rare elements, but the concentrations are rather low. The use of toxic sulfides (H2S risk) may increase production costs.

Coulombic efficiency, which you didn't ask for, starts at 93% and drops to 88% after 1000 cycles, so pretty good but a little lower than you expect from a typical lithium battery.

You might be surprised to learn there’s no Faiss inside Pinecone. All the indexes are proprietary and have features you won’t find in Faiss, such as metadata filtering, real-time index updates, and horizontal/vertical scaling. Oh and of course sparse-dense hybrid indexing, which went live today.
It appears the argument is that was included for a good reason for criminal cases and shows a precedent for it. The argument isn't that civil cases are currently covered, but that they should be.
> Nitpicking, but I think people here often don't think clearly about the value of expecting Constitution-inspired behaviors from non-government organizations

Especially when even for the government, those rules don't apply outside of the criminal sphere.

(Those rules that apply to government outside of the criminal sphere are more often appropriate expectations for fairness in private interactions; “due process” in broad terms is appropriate, whereas the specific criminal procedural protections generally are not.)

The train passes through France non stop. Along the way, around 2AM, a single carriage decouples from the end and smoothly glides into a Paris terminal, where it functions as a de facto hotel room for the night as guests won't be kicked out until morning. Will anyone use it? IDK. But it does satisfy the requirement of stopping in France.

> Not quite as alarming as these people most likely trying to stalk someone without their permission.

It’s so common to want to know where does a incoming call come from that it’s built-in in iOS. It has nothing to do with stalking, just with guessing if who’s calling you is a scammer or a company trying to sell you stuff.
Sorry Person275, you were approved as a test subject so you are bared from partaking in life.

But don't worry, they haven't had success passing laws legalizing your organ harvesting so you'll probably get to live a full life even after we're done testing you.
I thought for sure that must be glitching, so just tried on my ChatGPT Plus account with a fresh thread, but nope:

> does 2 pounds of feathers weigh more than 1 pound of bricks?

> No, two pounds of feathers weigh the same as one pound of bricks. The weight of an object is determined by its mass, and one pound of any object weighs the same as one pound of any other object. However, feathers are less dense than bricks, so two pounds of feathers will take up more space or have a larger volume than one pound of bricks.

Huh. It's interesting that some of these "wrong paths" are quite so repeatable. Wonder if that means there's also a way to band-aid them when found, the way a human might be corrected for a misconception.
There is a pretty big gap between what’s talked about at conference and blogs vs the actual, not very sexy, hard data science work that goes into doing “machine learning” at scale.
At least there's a public incident list: https://protectedidentityharm.stanford.edu/news
I understand your concern and feel that part of the problem is that in many areas in the US it's not comfortable or safe for adults to be out walking (unless they are with their dog.) The streets aren't set up for it, the police think it's weird behavior, and as a result people stay inside which means there is less adult supervision for the children out in public.

If you ever visit Europe you can expect to have your mind blown as you will see nine year olds walking themselves to school, taking public transit independently, as the norm. This works because there are always adults out and about.
I did not "make it up on the spot", I simply read their website:

"Typically incidents are chargeable when they require work from us such as writing, compiling or testing patches, updating documentation, analysing or debugging your code, finding workarounds, providing technical advice or other significant effort.

In particular, please note that we may regard fixes for bugs in its own Lisp products, and for shortcomings in the documentation, as chargeable."

Note how the list and following text clearly indicate that you can and will be charged for bugs in their own products.
But anonymous posters are also exercising their free speech. Sometimes this is out of a genuine fear of political persecution, sometimes it's hateful trolling or spamming (a problem not helped by anonymous domain registration, for example). A prohibition on anonymity has very negative implications for privacy.

I's weird that a rational person like yourself conflates all anonymous speech with criminal prosecutions, a very narrow subset of public communications. Can you clarify what your broader position on anonymity is?
I don't think the 2-4 hours or whatever difference you think makes those 2am dumps not suspicious really has any impact on the difficulty of this task.

Good point. I think at some point anonymity needs to be lifted regardless, maybe if the case is strong enough, or if the accusation appears to be fraudulent or in bad faith.

It looks like a good article for those who are already studying theoretical probability. For laypeople, not so much.

I haven't yet figured out what the author is doing with the sigma algebra machinery. I had thought that the event set of a probability space was intuitively the power set of the sample set, and that the machinery of sigma algebras was only added to avoid pathologies like non-measurable sets (think Banach-Tarski paradox). Maybe there is more to it?

I would like to understand this better and I do plan to read the article, but I had found the Wikipedia article on martingales to be reasonably understandable a while back. The good thing about this article is it shows applications.
Even the smallest human groups tend to end up with governments quite quickly. A tribal chief is a government. Taxes might not be necessary for the simplest governments that provide no services, but as soon as a government starts providing things for the people it governs it needs resources, and thus some way to acquire those resources.

It’s worse than that. It’s wrong, you cannot correct it and it makes up supporting citations on the fly. Very few humans behave like that.
ChatGPT doesn't "recommended" anything. It just recombines text based on statistical inferences that appear like a recommendation.

It could just as well state that humans have 3 legs depending on its training set and/or time of day. In fact it has said similar BS.
It's been a common pattern for a very long time in the US for new graduates to often live in a city especially if that's where their job is and then move out when they start a family. That was the pattern with essentially everyone I knew who went into finance in Manhattan.
Ben Nadel: Async Communication Is Great, Except for When It's Awful
One thing that concerns me a bit is stacking machine learning onto this. Imagine a 100% paralyzed person in the hospital. We attach some probes to their head and get a very noisy signal. What comes back is a very noisy signal, but we've got a machine learning model that takes in a huge amount of context about interacting with computers and text and such and uses it as part of how it cleans up the signal, just like how phones today use machine learning to de-noise camera input.

Then let's say that our paralyzed person says something very impactful like "please turn off the life support" or "I will all of my money to my kids." Can you imagine the lawsuit over to what degree the machine learning was driving the boat?

Why use Pop!_OS? I guess because the name makes you look like a 1337 h4xx0r.

Joking aside, Pop is generally liked for its easy-to-use interface. System76 has made a well-polished suite of software, and they are in the process of replacing GNOME with their own DE to make it an even smoother experience.

Of course, if you use something else (I prefer openSUSE Tumbleweed), you can just stick to Flatpaks entirely without having to get concerned about snaps.
Its not like ChatGPT made this up. There were pre-existing YouTube tutorials and python scripts available that used OpenCage an purported to do this. OpenCage even blogged about this problem almost a year ago[1].

Honestly it looks more like OpenCage is trying to rehash the same issue for more clicks by spinning it off the hugely popular ChatGPT keywords. Wouldn't be too surprised if they created the original python utilities themselves just to get some publicity by denouncing them.

What's interesting is that the US has been issuing a tremendous amount of debt, and the volume of that debt is a lot more than what should be possible under standard economic theories.

Interest rate are still historically low, even after the inflationary bump. And there doesn't really seem to be crowding out; in fact, there's so much money floating around that it doesn't have enough places to go...which is presumably why the US debt is still finding buyers (the debt limit thing notwithstanding).

If the US was under IMF supervision it would have been in violation decades ago.

I don't follow this anymore, but does anyone know if there has been anything written about this bizarre financial era we live in, monetarily speaking?
My wife's parents had a child welfare investigation because my sister-in-law was somewhat clumsy in middle and high school and had some "odd" bruises. Of course, my in-laws hasn't done anything abusive, and the investigator concluded as much, but I'm sure it counts as one of those >25%.
"Don't use an exchange, crypto solves this!"

"Don't use paypal, cash solves this!"

Both systems have the same problem, in that people need to use intermediaries to accomplish the transactions they want to accomplish. Crypto solves nothing, it converts problems into different problems.
Agreed. As I mention above, anonymity should be revealed once the investigation has reached a certain point, because now the power balance has shifted and the faculty member or whatnot has lost significant power.
adnauseam is seriously a terrible idea. It's actually dangerous. The idea that you can somehow trick advertisers by polluting your dossier and making it useless to them after filling it with random data is fundamentally flawed.

Every scrap of data collected about you will be used against you. It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, nobody cares if they data they have about you is accurate, data brokers will happily sell your personal info to anyone even knowing full well that it's got inaccurate and conflicting info in it. Many won't even know because the process is entirely automated.

By automatically clicking on ads and "expressing interest" in random things you're just filling your dossier with ammo which gets handed to others to fire at you. Every random thing you add to your permanent record is one more thing that can only hurt you.

You cannot know what will prejudice someone against you. Maybe one day adnauseam decides to click on something that gets you flagged as having a certain political view, or having a certain sexual orientation, or being an alcoholic, or having a mental illness, or being at a certain income level, or belonging to a certain religion, etc. One day that exact data can cause you to get turned down for a job, or for housing. It can mean that a website charges you more than what your neighbor pays for the same product. It can mean your insurance rates go up next year.

You will never be told when it happens or why. Your health insurance company isn't going to tell you that they raised your rates because you (adnauseam) clicked on too many fast food ads last quarter. You're just suddenly getting a higher bill. Your auto insurance company won't tell you that they raised your rates after you were clicking ads for DUI lawyers, but suddenly they and every other insurance provider you try are quoting you higher monthly prices.

If your browser extension decides to go click on ads about abortions you could even end up being hauled into a texas courtroom and having to defend against charges. Sure, you'd get them thrown out eventually. Probably. But it would still cost you a ton of time and money and stress. The information in your dossier can get you targeted, harassed, or attacked by extremists. It can get be used against you in court rooms. It can get you investigated by three letter agencies. It can be used to impact your 'secret consumer score' or consumer trustworthiness rating.

The information being collected about you is sold to companies, employers, activists, extremists, and law enforcement. That data never goes away. It follows you for the rest of your life and will be used against you in ways you'll never be aware of and cannot today imagine. Filling your dossier with huge amounts of content (random or not) is dangerous and only increases your risk for zero benefit.
By all means, put in real regulators that actually rein in bad actors and eliminate regulation-by-lawsuits. You have my full support.

How would this work?

If a phone number is for a mobile phone then looking up the location doesn't make sense at all: mobile phones are mobile.

I guess you could try and crawl an index of business phone numbers and associate those with the listed address for businesses, but that's a completely different business from running a geocoder.

You could provide a bit of geographical information about the first three digits of a US phone number. I imagine that's not what users are actually looking for though.
So you wouldnt suggest that you should generally be able to know who your accuser is (the principle), but rather that is a standard we hold the process of whether or not some one can out you into a little box?

Thats coherent. I was originally thinking about this as a 'good for the goose, good for the gander' situation because the idea that you should generally speaking know who is accusing you and of what seems pretty reasonable.
I can think of more than a few that regularly appear on TV.
