That doesn't require a repeal of the second amendment. That just requires a willingness to interpret the full text of the amendment, instead of focusing only on the last four words.

School shootings are far down the list as far as fatalities go. But that's a poor way to measure the impact of school shootings. The trauma inflicted by each of these events goes way beyond the number of children killed. Everyone who has heard actual gunshots in their own school building feels life-changing trauma.

When a kid in the US says "I'm scared to go to school," you can't tell them they have nothing to be scared of. You can tell them "It's not likely to happen at your school today." That's small comfort.

Lived in Singapore for 3 years. It was probably the best place I've ever lived. Zero crime. Public transit everywhere. Everything walkable. Everything clean. Parks were beautiful. Food at hawker centers was so cheap it was cheaper to eat out than cook.

Now we're back in the states we hit the vape quite often but didn't need it in SG. No place has everything.
America is a much larger country with a much larger difference in outcome between different people.

While that's true, the difference may still be enough to explain the 2-4 year difference in life expectancy that is shown on the chart.

I would suggest that poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle lead to both people being fat and to health issues. FWIW, it's been a common pattern for friends of mine who visit the US for even short periods of say 2 weeks to put on small but noticable amounts of weight.
That is what I mean. /Subjective/ experiences are part of the usual definition of consciousness and sentience. Qualia, as opposed to quantia. If you’re trying to protect the human mind from ever being probably replicable in operation by a machine, it helps to pick an unfalsifiable definition of consciousness and sentience.

As someone who was on Twitter long before Oprah, or Elon, or Obama, or most other celebrities and politicians: I strongly disagree.

(Speaking about Twitter the product, not necessarily Twitter the company.)
Yeah, and that's not an argument against this kind of system, since it's obviously cheaper and more scalable than any human. (And I don't think you're arguing against it as a valid use case anyway.) But it will be interesting to see how this kind of "programming" paradigm seeps into the various software ecosystems.
Data on the Outside versus Data on the Inside [pdf]
Sorry but I have this strong feeling that the Fediverse/ActivityPub will be one of those ideas that will fail miserably or just become a niche for weirdos. My reasoning is: it's completely unnecessary. Just have different sites, like forums from the early 2000s. Much cleaner and simpler. I don't need a shared identity throughout these places. It's not what the web was meant to be, at all.

On the other hand, I have no reason to assume Twitter will die. What trust are we talking about here? I have no idea. People will just continue using it. In fact, I vastly prefer what's happening now than what the last management was doing.

Not trying to be confrontational here. I'm trusting my gut feeling more because I've seen through so many things that range from delusions to failed ideas in the last decade: Theranos, WeWork, Metaverse, Clubhouse, Crypto [other than Bitcoin], Social networks pretending to be the arbiters of truth, etc. I have a strong BS detector.
It's healthy to have a normal amount of cynicism. They released it for a reason. "The goal of our open source endeavor is to provide full transparency to you, our users, about how our systems work."

Why be transparent (or try to appear transparent)? To convince people to trust your platform (or to recruit - which seems to be another goal of the post). Why would Twitter want or need to do this now? Well, there is a bit of context. This disclosure doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Maybe it's just my way of working, but I move lines above or below when reorganizing lists in markdown or other basic text operations.

All this focus about environmentalism and efficiency lately is making me think that we're not even daring to look at the supply side of this equation. We should have basically infinite energy situation figured out by now. The fact that we haven't and we're squirming about how to automatically turn off my garage lights is an indictment of our failure as a society. Power generation technology is stagnated to the point where fusion is only 4 years away for over 40 years now. Wind and Solar keeps the population delusional as they feel proud to wear insulated clothes indoors. Poor and middle class struggles are ignored. But, the virtue signaling Berkeley folks will surely tell you how their $1.3M 900 sq ft home is heated using heat pumps. I feel extreme dissappointment in our inability to engineer things everytime I see a Nike shoe box with greenwashing labels.

We should aim a lot higher. Like 1000000x higher and solve the problem of energy once in for all. But, something tells me that we will have protests in the year 2200 for engulfing the last 20% of the sun with a dyson sphere. There will be folks trying to campaign for "Leave the sun alone".

No way, since any such degree wouldn't cost any money, instead it would pay you.

Hmmm, you lost me there. Are you talking about the politics and practices of current American evangelical right wing Christians? I'd agree with you there.

I mirror the sibling comment's experience: it was a tire fire; also, if one comes from an n-tier application mental model, it's further bad news because the actual query's compute runs _client side_ -- there is no such thing as "connect to Gremlin 'database,' submit query text, have it run queries" it's rather "boot up Gremlin in your appserver, run queries so long as your appserver can connect to every one of the data stores it references, credentials included"

Is there any measure, not of size or token amount, but of diversity in the content of the text?

Did that metric meaningfully change when the amount of required memory dropped?

If the amount of diversity is lowered, I would expect that to lower the amount of patterns to be modeled from the text. If that is the case, then the resulting model size itself would be lowered, during and after training.
Jobs are high paying because someone thinks they provide (a lot) more value than they are paid. “Freeing up a high paying job” means someone who is worse at the job, on the margin, does it and less value is provided to everyone, aka society.

I'm in that situation -- oil burning furnace with forced air. It's a 1980s vintage system with an outdoor double walled oil tank.

I could replace the furnace with an air source heat pump.

But it turns out the people in the 1970s who designed the system weren't really on-the-ball. There's insufficient return, it's not balanced such that it's way hotter upstairs than down, etc.

Further, if I wanted to blow cold air through the system I'd probably collect lots of moisture on the vents because it gets humid in the summer.

The solution, though, is multi-zone mini splits that just pump the refrigerant around and expand / compress it where I want the heat/cooling; that gets rid of the big noisy air handler, allows my system to be a multi-zone system, and generally seems like a much better design.

And with modern heat pumps, I don't think even in new england I'd need backup resistive heating.
> He was arrested because it seemed probable he did it. That's how it's supposed to work.

Which is itself a bit of a problem, as having an arrest on your record, even in the absence of a conviction, a trial, or even if you were found innocent, is rather damaging. It adversely impacts your ability to rent housing, for instance, or get certain jobs.

2-4y of life expectancy is typically an even greater discrepancy is morbidity. So if you die 3y earlier and are 'morbid'/ have life affecting illness for another 2y - you've basically halved the average enjoyable period of retirement for most people. I'd say that's quite drastic.

>Calling out 'governmental bullshit' is something they can do on their own time by practicing their 1st amendment rights. Choosing to not enforce a law because you don't like it is not free speech. It's job abandonment and should be treated as such.

>If you think part of your job is morally wrong, you should quit.

Sometimes, quitting is just setting the stage for the next unscrupulous individual to come in and really muck things up where at least if you are still there, there's a brake, and a voice in the room. See the head of the Boston Office of the FBI. Those dead set on abusing power would prefer that all those principled people would just get out of the way to let them steamroll the populace or enact their designs.

>It doesn't 'stem' from anywhere. It's just a right-wing thing to pretend that police have some unwritten ability to decide the legality of laws.

It isn't a right wing thing. It's a fact of life. Lets say every cop isn't fine with law X. You say you'll dismiss every cop who won't enforce it. You start doing it. You fire cops in droves. You'll very quickly start running out of candidates for the job, or you'll find yourself having to make concessions elsewhere. In fact, if it's a lot of cops you get rid of, you may find yourself short of any degree of law enforcement. Anyone who has ever found themselves running a Department of a large organization will be familiar with the phenomena by which work to be done requires people to do it; and whereby if you don't have enough bodies to do it, it doesn't get done or is otherwise "pocket veto'd".

In reality, everyone has limited bandwidth to effect things in proximity to themselves every day. No one person can be everywhere at once. So you have to delegate. Ergo everyone you delegate to is a potential filter on what things actually get done. If they don't do it, and you can't, it ain't getting done.

As much as anyone wants to believe police are cogs... Really take the time to think on the fact that if they fon't do it, it doesn't get done. They are as much a part of setting what the law really is as the judges, juries, DA's that close the loop. I don't care what the law is on paper. I care about what the cop in closest proximity to me thinks about it.

And as far as policing the police? Internal Affairs, much like Quality Assurance in software, is a bitch. No one likes it when you're really doing your job, friends are few, and the politics and potential for undermining is ungodly. You alone are tasked with handling the banality of your own group objectively every damn day, and it wears on you.
Sorry I called you an AI, but I think the problem is that you're using "linux/OSS" to refer to things like FF or VLC that happen to be OSS, and run on both Linux and macOS. Apple for sure has been getting increasingly hostile to developers, these days getting basic tools set up via homebrew etc. on newer releases of macOS is getting ridiculous. But that doesn't have any bearing on the stability of Linux releases of those apps, which is why it seemed like an impossible non-sequitur.
I think GMs backs are against the wall here. GMs margins are already so thin on most of that inventory (aside from top trims of trucks) that they’d be basically paying customers to take the cars off the lot. On top of that they lose a bunch of money on warranty claims and have no sustainable subscription models currently. GMs strategy is basically to cut off their nose to spite their face.
> Almost certainly made that up. You'd need a telescope mounted there to accomplish that.

Which they very well might have had. Surveillance setups often pair a wide field of view "situational awareness" camera with an extremely high level optical zoom PTZ camera for getting things like license plates or seeing handoffs of items.

The parent poster doesn't realize the inherent bias in what they wrote and that you have pointed out.
The original article points out that the primary difference between the US and the UK (as well as other peer countries) is that you're much more likely to die young in the US. A 5-year-old in the United States has a 4% chance of dying before age 40, whereas a 5-year-old in Australia, Austria, Canada, England and Wales, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, or Switzerland has ~1% chance of dying before age 40 (values appear to range from ~0.9% to ~1.25%). This suggests that the US's shorter lifespans aren't primarily caused by poorer healthcare outcomes, but rather social problems like drug overdoses, gun violence, and car accidents.
