> I have spent probably too much time trying to gain a comfortable level of proficiency with LaTex and I have not been able too.

I got quite comfortable with LaTeX after I read a book. For me it was the Kopka & Daly book. Maybe these days it's a bit old-fashioned to get familiar with a programming language, by reading a book? But I think it works.

There are also big changes at smaller numbers: ~8, ~30.

Before you hit around 10 people, you all fit at a comfortable table and can have reasonable meeting where there's a chance for everyone to talk. It's also a reasonable number for one person to manage that size of a team and be able to check in on the others on a regular basis. It's hard not to know the rest of the team - assuming you work in the same place (big assumption these days). It's more likely at this scale that many people have to have broad skillsets in order to work on whatever is necessary.

25-30 is a size where you start to loose track of the names of new people and don't really know some of the team. It's not possible for one person to do a good job managing all the people, so you've probably already started to break things into subgroups and have more mid-level leaders/managers. There are more likely to be specialists at this scale, but it's hard to manage their workload - either too busy or not enough.

As you grow above that size the subdivision and communication issues increase. If you are in an office, you're probably not all in the same room/floor/building. It's likely that there are some people that you almost never see. When someone new is added, you may not meet them for a while. The specialization issues are different. There's more push and pull around what specialist areas to add or drop, but some of the sub teams are more self-sustaining and managing. However when things go poorly, expect re-orgs and layoffs. Loyalties are more to the local team level, not the overall organization. There's more likely some us vs them within the company.
I've seen all kinds of different things. I know of one school near me where it is 1000 per grade. I know of a different district where it is 1000 for the whole high school (4 grades), and another where is is 1000 for the entire district (12 grades).

I think on balance 150-300 per grade is ideal.

Schools that have less than 150 students in a grade just cannot offer students anything other than the same basic actives everyone has. You won't take calculus because there are not enough students to start a calculus class, and this holds back the smart kids futures. You will play football as we cannot field a team without every student there, it doesn't matter how much you would prefer to play any other sport instead we can (not they won't, they cannot) never start a team.

Schools with more than 300 start to get to the point where they can't let students into popular courses/sports and this breeds have/have-not culture wars.

My numbers above are close, but subject to some debate.

Others have mentioned this already but there are plenty of regulations that are relevant just for hospitals because of what they are. For example, the bulk of the historic LA county hospital is vacant, because the building is no longer up to the seismic standards required by the state for a hospital. When you have a big earthquake, you probably want the hospital to be the very last building to fall in the city. The building, however, is used for things like offices or storage because these uses don't have the same standards as a hospital.
> The whole entire "Russiagate" thing was straight up just a hoax

Uhhh, what? The Select Committee on Intelligence in the U.S. Senate [published][1] a nearly 1,000 page report on this. Volume 5 begins with these findings:

> The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

> The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election.

I highly recommend you [read][2] this yourself, but including a few top-level items of the counter intelligence threats:

> Taken as a whole, [Paul] Manafort's high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska, represented a grave counterintelligence threat.

> The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president. Moscow's intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.

Do you say that as an active user of TikTok? I scroll TikTok. My feed has been curated basically to show me exclusively dumb silly content (memes), cooking videos, etc.

If I were to scroll Instagram Reels, it'd be the same content. I'd be willing to bet whatever creators post on TikTok, also post on IG.

How is TikTok "home of toxic Chinese social attack" but IG reels (with the same content) not?

`var` in Java is local for a reason. In most contexts I can think of the variable either was created above or was passed in as a parameter/object field. Unless you set it from a weirdly named creation pattern/function.

Over the years I've come to the conclusion that the lawyers are very confident in their legal opinions, but they are still just opinions that other lawyers are confident are the other way. My guess is some lawyer at firm A will say "oh we can't just do that, I'm sure we can't" while another lawyer in firm B presented with the same initiative will go "yeah we can totally do that, no problem at all, I'm sure we can".

Which lawyer you get seems to be a sort of dice roll that perhaps one could understand if one were a lawyer.

> AI can reduce some of the world’s worst inequities.

To reduce inequity abolish (c)opywrong laws.

BG grew rich via (c)opywrong laws.

That is the dilemma. Does he see it and just not connect the dots? Or can he connect the dots but doesn't really care? I am not sure.
I thought this was a pretty good post, but I'm still pretty shocked that people as intelligent as Gates don't spend more time on the potential downsides. To be clear, he does highlight some of the downsides, but his responses are just "handwavy" in my opinion.

What is most baffling to me is that the highlight of this post is that Gates talks about the potential for AI to reduce worldwide inequality, where in all honesty I see the exact opposite being more likely. Our current economic systems just fundamentally can't deal with ever larger swaths of the population being unable to compete with AI. And despite all the answers I've seen of "well, duh, that's because our current economic systems are so broken!", I have yet to see any sort of plausible answer that addresses how we get from our current version of capitalism to something else where all the spoils just don't go to the few people that control the strongest AI implementations (that doesn't involve massive amounts of strife and despair).

Perhaps technologists, even ones as smart as Gates, are just too siloed in their worldview of technology being an ever increasing force for good. I actually find this particularly surprising from Gates, given how he's seen first hand that large swaths of the world blame him for the pandemic, or for wanting to vaccinate us with "microchips", due to the power of propaganda through social media.

That might be contentious. I don't care at all what the syntax is, I want to know what choices have been made in the language design space, and if they look reasonable/interesting, how sound the implementation looks. The top level about link followed by source was ideal for that. Only after sanity checking the implementation source would I look for some example of what the language looks like.

On the other hand, language A but looks like language B is definitely a thing and I suppose those should put syntax front and center as it's their selling point.

when was this Golden Age of News Objectivity, then? because from where I'm standing, it sure seems like it was more of a Golden Age of There Only Being A Few Accessible Sources of News, Most If Not All of Whom Were On The Same Page When It Comes To Major Stories, i.e., The Time Before Smartphones.

case in point: the post-9/11 invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. the entire United States media apparatus united to gaslight the populace into consenting to an foreign-soil military invasion on incredibly shaky grounds, that were later proven to be completely false. they even gaslit us into disapproving of our own allies choosing to not join us in the invasion—remember "freedom fries"?

yet the only lesson the majority of the public seemed to learn from this is "George W. Bush is a bad guy", which is also true, but misses the point entirely—plus, in recent years, now that's not even entirely true, because look, he's bffs with Michele Obama, see, he's not that bad of a guy, right?

the cycle continues unabated.
> I always assumed that Google wants you to spend your whole day there, from morning until evening.

People always cynically assume that's why Google has the perks but in all the Google offices I've worked from or visited, the building is a ghost town after 6:00pm.

The real reason is that Google is competing with other tech companies and perks are an effective incentive to get people to pick your company over another one.

> Because big tech is usually implicitly aiming at that.

Tech companies are aiming for maximum long term productivity of intellectually challenging complex work. I'm not aware of any data that shows the way to get that is by grinding your employees into the dust with overtime.

No you don't get it. He was a "creep" aka should be cancelled wholesale on everything /s

The only questionable thing he did was try to rationalise pedophilia, which he has since changed his mind about. Given that he's clearly _not all there in the head_ (i.e neurodiverse) and assuming he hasn't tried to access child pornography or similar I couldn't care less. All of the other accusations against him are nonsense[0] and all center around unsubstantiated rumors of him being a "creep." People being anti-Stallman is insane to me considering how much he has contributed and advocates for not only free software but also gender equality.

Is it fair to say that 90's and early 2000's microsoft was a great proponent and enabler of such inequalities?
It might also be wrong, yes. I have plenty of code licensed under very permissive licenses that still requires attribution. It is an open question of how much the AI system is a "derived" work in a specific, technical sense. And it probably will remain hard, since the answer is probably on a continuum.

The first bullet point is incorrect. In normal text, you use # for functions and symbols, i.e. #sym.phi or #emph. In math blocks, you don't use # for stuff like phi or floor but that's because it interprets everything as a function or symbol, with an exception for single letters. If you want any plain text in a math block, whether it's a function name or not, you just put quotes around it. If you want implicit multiplication, you need spaces between each letter.

I also don't know what you mean by the second bullet point. If you want repeatable single word or sentence formatting, you can define a function for it, which there is easy syntax for.

Maybe if you total it over the last 6 decades or so. It's hardly surprising they don't need financial support for their economy today. In the 50s, their GDP didn't even hit one billion yet, and over that decade and the early 60s, the US provided more than 2 billion dollars in financial aid, in the early years over 10% of their GDP. No other Asian country ever received that much financial aid (in relative terms). This was absolutely a relevant factor that jump started their economy.
I was wondering about emoji's too. That could work rather well. I think if you had a 2d array of like 200 unique emojis, with some subsection-ing of like, quartile, you could simply say, "If your train has a crocodile in the top left square, a star eyed in bottom right..."

There's some paper discussing how high dimensional parameters can be visualized with human faces, because aspects of the face are quickly identified by humans. I think they used ideas such as, How far the eyebrows are apart etc. Maybe making (disfigured) human faces with binary features would be easier to parse too.

"The CIA will dump kiddie porn on your computer if you cross them" is basically "the ATF will shoot your dog if you cross them" trope but for a different group of people. Based on other comments it seems like the accusations are a bit more substantial than a low effort frame. Nevertheless, there's a reason that the rest of the journalism industry basically dismissed it flat out.

That said if this were anybody that wasn't part of the media "club" the media would not have extended them the benefit of the doubt and would have ran with the accusation in the title. That's the part that really bothers me. Screw them and their double standard.
