What you've twisted is you're essentially arguing the Kyiv regime isn't Ukranian. Putin sees the Kyiv regime as Western and an expansion of NATO influence, he says so in the speech I linked above.

If the special operation is having to defend against Western influence, and the Kyiv regime isn't Western, why is he shelling the Kyiv regime?

Your lie is arguing Putin never said they had to defend against Ukranian aggression. In my quote above, he talked about needing to act because of aggressive actions from the Kyiv regime. So either the Kyiv regime isn't Ukranian to you, or Putin did say they needed to defend against Ukranian aggression.

Putin feels the Kyiv regime is an extension of Western NATO influence, and he stated he had to act in defense against their aggression in DNR/LNR/Crimea. This is all in the speech I linked, not twisting any of his words at all.

So yes, Putin has absolutely argued he had to defend against "the regime in Kyiv", which I think most of the world would take to mean Ukraine. So it's pretty fair to say Russia phrased this as "defend against Ukraine", unless you are arguing the regime in Kyiv isn't Ukranian or Putin and the Kremlin aren't Russian.

Could you answer if you believe the Kyiv regime is Ukranian?

Does anyone know what the legal basis was for uncontrolled online Lending was in the first place that caused this mess? I don’t understand why IA is continuing to double down that this was legitimate behavior.
However, some language ecosystems are more OK with "finished" software than others. It hasn't had a commit in 4 years because none were necessary. Needing constant updates is a sign the local ecosystem is driven by churn over quality.

With tech like GPT-4's vision abilities these techniques won't last long. Computers will soon have equal to human or superior skill understanding what is in an image combined with perfect memory of everyone or everything it has ever seen. Unless you have an invisibility cloak you will not be able to defeat it.

Forgive me, but it isn't. Shunning is a refusal to interact, bullying is active and definitely involves interaction.

With that distinction, shadowbans are a form of shunning, and not bullying.

that's what our goal with wasp[0] is - to abstract the common patterns that keep reappearing and condense them to a configuration choice, while still leaving hatches to write your own code. Still have a way to go (in Beta atm) but I think we managed to demonstrate the basic principle in some instances.

> Where would you normally talk to people in your home city or area?

Wanna know why I don't speak German after four years of living here? ;)

Without going out of your way for a language course, the interaction with German in Germany is limited to "by card please", "have a good evening/weekend", "a ticket to Aachen please", and forms/contracts like municipal registration, tax returns, and rental contract. Which are way too complex so you use a translator. Similar for a job in German: without first learning it, you can't get one, so you take an English job and the cycle continues.

Yes, I really need to be taking a language course like yesterday already. I'm aware, but that still would not get me chatting with locals; rather, other immigrants and a teacher or so.

> Or would you try more sociable places like cafés and bars?

When we go to cafés, I'd find it super weird if someone came up to our table to make small talk. Worse than at a bus stop. Bars are afaik for people (mainly teenagers) to get drunk together at but I don't drink so I've not been to one, rather walked past outside and can't say that what comes out of that entrance looks appealing to interact with.
We've had neural nets since 1943. The architectures are not "in their infancy", new architectures have been developing for decades, even entire neural net paradigms (feed-forward nets, recurrent nets, recursive nets, etc etc.). Their scale has also been increasing ever since Hinton and friends rediscovered backprop in the '80s. Neural nets are positively ancient at this point, not "in their infancy"!

I don't know why people just keep repeating this complete fantasy as if it were true. Where does it originate from, I wonder? I suspect someone said something like that on social media, their post went viral, and now all of the internet is reverberating with this thing. It's a meme, yes?

OS X is slowly backsliding, too. It's not as bad as showing literal advertisements in the OS, but they're also trying to unify their mobile and laptop/desktop experiences, and it results in a worse experience on my laptop.

I think I'm about two OSX upgrades away from switching to a *nix OS as my daily driver, though I don't know what I'll do for some niche software like Clip Studio Paint.
I picked up meditating daily in an attempt to address one of my mental disorders.

Falling asleep is much easier for me now, whereas I used to struggle with it a lot.

My thoughts used to feel unstoppable and the moment I would wake up in the middle of the night, they started going and I was wide awake and no longer sleepy within seconds.

Now it’s like I’m observing them, but no longer get excited. I still have bad days, it’s not a 100% consistent solution, but it’s helped me massively.

The article makes valid points about the danger of trusting an LLM as gospel. However, I am concerned about the anthropomorphic language. The LLM is only “hallucinating” if we define “hallucinating” to mean generating text that is syntactically correct and has the correct semantic shape but the text as interpreted by the reader is taken to be factually incorrect. Fundamentally this is a reader discernment issue —- which is why, in my opinion, using anthropomorphic language to describe the interaction with LLMs or the interpretation of the generated text is problematic. The imprecise description muddies our understanding of the tool to the point that it implies agency — thereby removing agency in the form of discretion from the user.

To identify a gold-plated object, those would have to be done in a destructive manner, i.e. after scratching the object.

In many cases that would not be acceptable, so non-destructive tests may be used, e.g. based on density or X-ray absorption, but those are inconclusive, because tungsten also passes them.

When scratching the object is allowed, then there is little need for a complex test, as the change of color would be enough to show a fake.
I saw a similar report that it makes up academic papers, and so since then I have been fact checking when I use it to find research.. and every paper it has cited to me has existed.

Perhaps it is a question of how relevant the subject you are asking about is? For instance the example that made me dubious was about eating banana peels for medical purposes, quite esoteric and not able to be confirmed by any outside sources.

In this case, it seems GPT is familiar with the blog but has fuzzy details that are not corroborated by any other sources.

It is a sort of dunning Kruger effect where the AI does not know the limits of it's limits but acts confidently regardless.

There isn't even a legal basis for "controlled" online lending (or indeed much of what the IA does) But they've mostly always managed to keep things sufficiently non-provocative that it hasn't been a problem.
I have moved all my repositories to sourcehut. They are generally mirrored by a github repository consisting of a single README file explaining the new location for the project, and my reasons for the migration.

However, given sourcehut eschews the use such "social metrics" (which at some level I agree with the principle behind it, on the other hand I do appreciate the value of being able to give visibility to good projects) I usually mention in my README that "If you like the project and wish to promote it, feel free to star this github page".

I'm sure github probably wouldn't like this use-case, but the stars would certainly be genuine, even if possibly quite dodgy-looking.

This is reductive in the sense is that things like AlphaGo were bad at Go for a very long time, and then with more compute power and algorithm changes suddenly they were far better. And the problem space for go is absolutely huge it is still an insignificant portion of the problem space for knowledge.
The two planks of wood across the canyon work fine, there's no valid reason to build a bridge!

re: "corporate clients, who get this stuff removed"...

I am currently at a Fortune 100 company and only wish my IT department would keep up with / disable all the ways automated MS(N) news feeds keep cropping up via Edge and Windows default behaviors, sometimes seemingly as part of automated updates.

Every time I think I have turned one off, there is yet another way Microsoft enables some kind of news feed in its system by default.

I have been through three rounds of exploring how to disable these sort of features in the last 6 months with windows 10+edge, and resent the time I have to spend trawling and searching how to turn each particular money grab off.

I really don't want the distraction at work, thank you!

P.S. Edge has been slightly more stable (and memory-efficient with many tabs?) under low-memory conditions than Chrome so I ended up starting to use it to avoid reboots at times. Wake up Google!
We seem to have opposite approaches to when hypotheses are formed—look at data, then form hypotheses vs. understand SOTA to form a hypothesis before looking at the data.
I feel like I could untangle some this, but not without re-writing a version of the article that this thread is about. Like async/await adding overhead and therefore being slower than direct calls, if you use them incorrectly, is actually accurate but not a legitimate problem (they make up for their overhead when used as designed, specifically on slow endpoints).

Also, async/await doesn't cut you off from anything. You just need to understand what is and isn't an asynchronousable end-point, people get confused then start throwing random keywords around without really grasping how it works (e.g. "if I await everything, it is concurrent, right?!" then write a bunch of code that actually runs synchronously but with tons of overhead).

I guess this is my nice way of saying: You need to read this very article. It corrects your concerns, and shows you when async/await is useful and likely when it isn't.
It casts serious doubt on the Android team as a steward of the platform if this was reviewed by multiple "product and engineering teams" and not a single person thought that fundamentally changing a filesystem API might have security (or at least data integrity!) repercussions. It doesn't seem like any follow-up analysis was done at all here, other than a "thanks for the fix." Hyperbole or not, that's a terrible response.
But every paper can already be accessed by anyone if its authors decide to put it on arxiv, GitHub, their personal website or anywhere else they wish.

So does that mean that the only practical difference is that now when you list your papers for a promotion or tenure review you will write “eLlfe (approved)” instead of “eLife”? Then what is all the fuss about?

Looks like people are going to have to resort to writing better code.
Research and summaries of research will rarely hand out advice. In recent years, there has been an explosion of content that provides practical advice on getting better sleep. Most of this advice involves habit changes, and many of these habit changes are hard (e.g. avoiding screen time for ~2 hours before bed is tough if you always watch Netflix in the evenings).

I added links as a response to the sibling comment with some practical resources, and I think it's important to recognize that work focusing on the impact of sleep or the lack thereof is not necessarily in the same category as work that seeks to provide remedies / improve sleep.

Thankfully, as we continue to learn just how important sleep is, we also continue to learn about ways to improve it.
For one, there's no CSV standard and often csv based data exchange methods have lurking (and/or obvious) correctness problems. Maybe gsheets and sqlite are lucky there, maybe not.

This project is also well documented including the gsheets side (which is quite non-obvious).

Pretty sure those who game their repo are motivated by investment into associated startup. I think you are right that community activity is a high fiedlity indicator and a smart investor in OSS startups should definitely not only lurk in the community but if possible actually have resources to kick the project tires as well.

In a very strange way (but reflective of the economic regime) a startup that fakes stars vs a straight-arrow startup that doesn't is demonstrating a key element for success in business, which seems to require a significant element of bullshiting, and outright deceiving. The mantra has been that "grow grow grow" is the only guideline for success. Inflating your stars is just rookie hour practice for bigger better growth b.s. down the line.

If I would need to guess I would say you've added the global menu widget to the taskbar. That would hide the "regular" menu bar in the applications. Removing the global menu widget should bring back the "regular" menu in the application windows.

OTOH, who really needs a menu bar? You can have nowadays a "command palette" like app menu in KRunner. Much better usability than remembering or searching a menu structure imho—in case you don't need the discoverability of a menu, of course.

I wonder if it's possible to do this better. Somehow applying the type system onto the "execution context" feels like it would be the "ideal" solution here. From just 2 minutes of superficial thought, it would really be quite similar to permission-to-something tokens. Just a bunch of syntactic sugar on how it's done, plus making it easier to extend for additional tokens/colors/...?

In multiple transactions, and they called him and asked whether he had more of it. (“Das Geldinstitut soll ihn sogar zwischendurch angerufen und gefragt haben, ob er nicht noch mehr habe.”)

That makes it look like and inside job to me. Alternatively, they must have paid significantly below market value.
But, and I understand the argument, that is a problem for IRL society / government to solve.

If someone walks upto me in the voting booth and says "vote for X or I will kill you" that's a crime. If they do it in the pub it's probably a crime. If they do it online the police don't have enough manpower to deal with the situation.

We should change that.

Every time some fuckwit tweets "you and your kids are going to get raped to death and I know where you live" because some woman dares suggest some political chnage I would like to see jail time.

I probably didn't explain it well enough.

Preact is the tiny alternative to React (I still think preact could be smaller if they only focused on hooks).

I htmx is too bloated, while it's much smaller than the React codebase - I want the tiny, <1k loc alternative that literally just makes working forms and href links into dynamic fetch() responses and maybe adds additional support for auto-refresh from websockets or SSE.
shit like slack and other electron abominations are not just 10-20% improvement going native. We are talking a simple chat application, irc glorified to load images and preview, and this somehow takes more memory and cpu than the total resources I had in 1995 times 100.

these systems are so abominable, and people have just gotten used to it, hell, many users never even tried anything else, but saying 10-20% is just ridiculous
I think PHP is missing some kind of LTS which adds another year (or two) of support or some more stability. I wanted to say Dotnet has a longer cycle, but they have 2 years for regular and 4 year for LTS releases, while PHP has 3 years for every minor. So not that much better.

However, I had to migrate some 30k LOC app from Dotnet 3 to 6 this year and it was quite straight forward. Not that many thinks broke, and when then they were in the bootstrapping of the app.

I'm not that much into PHP anymore, so my take might be wrong. I wouldn't like to upgrade each year to a new version which breaks syntax. I would be ok to migrate every 3 or 4 years from LTS to LTS.
Interesting. So you mean more, the content rather than the form? I noticed you used the past tense. How did you get through that if I may ask?

Or raise the retirement age or cut retirement benefits or increase productivity or immigration, et cetera. The solution space is vast, which is why this is a problem, not a crisis.
that's one thing I've been thinking about a lot lately and I think it is confusing for many - that both Next/Nuxt/Remix and Rails have a title of a "full stack" framework while they are pretty different in reality.

Next/Nuxt are coming from the frontend origins and are strongest there, while Rails/Django are coming from the backend and focus on db ORM / data model story via ActiveRecord etc.

I understand the etymology of terminology, but I think we'll probably come up with better names in the future. E.g. Remix briefly called themselves "center-stack" which I found interesting and think makes sense.

I'll keep investigating and probably whip up a blog post about it.
PHP is mostly run on Linux, and the LTS version of PHP is essentially the one shipped with your distribution. They backport most security fixes.

That's quite weird. These traits don't look like rust's traits, which really are a port of typeclasses from Haskell. I think the section about scala illustrates this well because scala's "traits" are an OO construct, but now scala 3 also" has typeclasses. So... Rust still isn't OO.
I don’t like how verbose Pascal-like languages are. I don’t want to have to type tons of keywords to get anything done. Curly brackets are a big improvement over pairs of “begin” and “end” all over. Makes it hard to see the forest for the trees when skimming some code to figure out what it does. That on its own makes something like this a complete nonstarter for me, leaving aside issues like support, quality of implementation, uptake, etc.
