In the US they just leave the package on your porch, at your door, or with your doorman.

In Australia their delivery sucked and you had to go to the post office and sign for a package. Those sucked because, exactly like you said, it’s not convenient to have to go when the post office is only open during your work hours. And carrying packages back 1-2 km from the post office sucked too.

There appears to be a belief that 'poor people' are hopeless maniacs that lack all self-control. It's a disparaging mindset that lures in and compounds addictive behavior. How many full lives aren't lived due to egotistic fallacies?
I think with any test there's an element of general test-taking ability required to interpret the question. From context, I think it's clear what the intended interpretation is, and I'd be surprised if any student read the question as saying that the size of the line was fixed by the government.
… this sort of stuff is not just a “stereotype”. This stuff is real. This is measurable.

I am Portuguese - Brazilian. The gap between meeting and making new friends is gargantuan between the two countries. You can meet Brazilians for an hour or two and they’ll invite you to some gathering at their home. Portuguese people will do this less. And I’ve lived in England where this is even harder to make friends. London is the loneliest city in Europe and where people have the lowest average number of friendships.

It’s not just a stereotype. There are HUGE cultural differences.
So you say space isn't important, because you look at a small portion of the screen at a time, yet having a larger screen is useful to have more space to place apps?

So, in the end you're saying screen real estate is important? Or not? You have to pick one to be logically consistent.
If you trade in and out for cash, in person with a counterparty, from a self-hosted wallet that you never use to send or receive from any other wallet that's connected to an exchange... then yes. The use case for this is mainly moving money over borders.

> But I really like the idea of setting different speed limits for different weight classes of vehicles. Driving a Toyota Corolla? Let's call it a Class A vehicle (2,000-2,999 lbs), with a highway speed limit of 70mph. Driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee? That would be Class C (4,000-4,999 lbs), with a speed limit of 50mph.

This seems more dangerous, not less. Change a lane and all of a sudden you need to slam on your brakes because you didn't realize how much slower the other vehicle was going. Hopefully the person behind you can react quick enough. I see near accidents from this sort of thing fairly often with less of a speed difference.
I haven't used it regularly since the pandemic, but back then it was one of the few places (along with /sci/) where the "lab leak" hypothesis could be openly discussed. Anons regularly dug up questionable gain-of-function papers published by Shi Zhengli and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and archived them. Meanwhile on HN back then (in 2020), outright suggestions that it came from a lab would get you -2 [flagged] [dead].
Seizing overseas fabs to attack a private industry would be a historically unprecedented, diplomatically suicidal move. It wouldn't stay secret for more than an hour, and they'd have to stay and operate the fabs for years to manufacture enough chips. Then of course while that's happening, the rest of us would use that time to prepare a mitigation, not sit around on our ass for 5 years waiting.

But sure, I guess they could try.
Okay, so they calculate that the worst produced bicycle produces 250kg co2 equivalent.

That's about 2 months worth of my diet. Maybe less.

Like, if I cycle for an hour I'll burn enough calories to produce approx 1kg co2e from the foods I eat.

This is "switch off your LED light bulb" levels of daft.

> It's clear there's a market for well-designed and compelling VR chat. VRChat[1] has a large community and had a very active developer community[2]. Facebook had no luck in attracting users in a proven market - there's no reason to believe their products would be more popular after hooking a generative agent up to it.

Facebook gets to take 30% of VR Chat's gross revenue (they sell premium features) on standalone and the desktop Oculus store.

There’s absolutely been value delivered, but at every turn it’s been vastly less than what was promised. I would be very surprised if generative AI doesn’t turn out to be the same: legitimately and seriously useful in certain use cases, but not as revolutionary as it’s being sold. I’m excited to see what comes of all this, but the hype is at an absolute fever pitch and I’m yet to see much past niche use cases and help along the periphery for more general tasks.

I mean even crypto has some actual, meaningful use cases, it’s just not replacing all currencies and fundamentally reshaping financial systems like a lot of folks thought it would.

There is a huge difference between "livestreaming a shooting on facebook", and writing a 200 page manifesto about how /pol/ redpilled you. I guess all 200 pages were just "banter". The guy practically wrote a book on being radicalized by /pol/, and that to you, is the same as opening up Facebook and clicking the "record" button.

Ah, you're right. I need to get better at saying what I'm thinking.
Saying 4chan isn't a far-right message board is like saying HN isn't a tech forum, and citing the existence of non-tech threads to support that argument.
I think it would vary a lot depending on the specific decisions and how unique the combination of circumstances are. Even though things tend to repeat on a large enough scale, different combinations can still be highly unique.

OTOH when they are not... a simple exercise one can do is go ask GPT-4 to simulate a comment section on some political news story posted online; you can even have it write a fictional news story first, for good measure. It is extremely good at it, and that tells me volumes about the actual (rather than perceived) rationality of our public discourse.
I think the embedded media program is much more problematic than TWI. Embedded media is at the invitation and discretion of operational public affairs officers and commanders, and those public affairs officers and commanders absolutely have operational "themes" and "messages" that they want to have broadcasted. I just finished Michael Hastings' book The Operators and he describes in-depth the dilemma for a reporter.

But TWI is run by human resources wonks, and mostly for the benefit of the individuals participating. Frankly, it's disparaged by a lot of operational commanders who think those individuals should be serving in the mud somewhere instead of padding their personal resumes. I will concede, however, that there is a certain level of coziness between the Army and the companies that take TWI participants. In the IT community, for example, the Army buys a lot of stuff from Microsoft and Cisco, and Microsoft and Cisco host TWI participants. It makes sense in terms of the Army and those companies wanting to learn more about each other.
I am 34 and I have almost exact same story as you. Constant pain in spine, hips, buttocks. I also have GERD and heart palpitations.

It was all really sad for the last several years, but I started to make a huge progress recently. Here's what helped me a lot:

- Cure my depression (as others already suggested). It's extremely hard to do when you have every moment of your life filled with physical pain, but you should concentrate and separate your mental state from your body. One thing that helped me tremendously were psychedelic mushrooms. Under skilled supervision, this thing do wonders.

- Realize that there is a thing called fascia in our bodies alongside muscles and bones. That is often the primary physical reason for chronic pain. Here is a good video with explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v54l3wDTJHg&t=638s. There are lots of strategies to treat your fascial syndrome, simplest and cheapest of which is foam rolling (helped me a lot). Acupuncture and massages are also great. Consistency is a key.

- Write everything down. This was the most important thing for me to solve the puzzle. You think you know your pain and your symptoms, but in reality they constantly change. And you perform different activities, feel different emotions. You need a place where you log all your pain symptoms, record any activities and track your progress towards healing. I use Obsidian for this. We software engineers tend to be too good at organizing software and too bad at organizing our own health records.

Hope any of it helps

You can't make blanket statements about the "value" of a person's life in one breath and then ask people to eschew emotional reactions in the next breath. Value and emotion go hand in hand and you have to let how you feel lead what you value at times.

I wish people would stop treating Bryan Lunduke like he's still an authority. He's gotten so into being the "Linux Sucks" guy that he's slowly turned into a source for FUD in the FOSS community. For instance, he goes so far out of his way to mention that this is a draft for comment the word doesn't even appear in the article. Which is odd because he has plenty of words speculating about a license fee that isn't mentioned.

Same way you meet any type of human. Participate in activities where socialization is a part of the activity, either intentionally or not; and actively socialize when the opportunity presents itself.

As a basic filter for activities, look for things where many people participate in physical proximity, the activity has periods of intense focus and then lulls, and without a taboo on talking. It helps if the activity attracts the type of people you want to meet, and it also interests you.

Don't bring a phone or other distraction for the periods of non-focus, use that time to probe for socialization.
> No, and you know that's not what anyone is saying.

In reply to the issue of how we should be punishing "petty" street crimes, the commenter I was replying to said,

> An exponential back off from society

In my experience, exponentials grow pretty quickly. So yeah, it kinda seems like that's what they were implying.

> Shitting in public, or in other people's private areas, shouldn't have zero consequences simply because the ultimate consequences sound harsh out of context.

Give me the context in which pooping anywhere, any number of times seems reasonable to punish with significant jail time. Yes, there should be some form of discouragement from this but making sure people have access to a toilet seems a lot easier.

> And yes, because jailing someone who has sunken to pooping on the street is generally an important part of their treatment plan. Not letting people live in squalor is actually kindness, even if the alternative is enforced.

Jail does not help people. It is statistically shown to make their lives materially worse, make them less healthy and make them more likely to commit further crimes. Treatment sure, I'm all for it. Even when it doesn't work.

> Oh my. Are you serious? Harsh measures?

Yeah, I actually believe depriving people of their freedom of movement is a really big deal.
Satoshi (and many other OG members of bitcointalk) knew, and tried to improve the protocol. BTC was not set in stone at the beginning. It's just at some point Satoshi disappeared, and moonfags[1] who controlled the capital (miners and exchanges) weren't interested in any technical improvements that may make regulators more angry, causing the end of most innovation in the cryptocurrency space.

[1]Sorry for the very colloquial term, I don't know a better one. I mean people who care about cryptocurrencies only as a speculative "investment".
So they should be stripped of their right to choose what they want?

Why shouldn't they be able to make decisions based on their emotions and why aren't they valid?
>He isn't ugly, short, or awkward so shouldn't be a virgin

I've noticed this a lot: whenever a non-ugly person notes that they're perpetually single, the first thing people say is "What? But you're so handsome/tall". This strongly implies that one's physical attributes are the biggest predictor of sexual success. However when people complain that their lack of physical attractiveness is keeping them perpetually single, they'll be assuaged that looks have very little to do with it, and it's probably a personality/circumstantial problem.

Not saying that you'd be saying it, but it's something I noticed: maybe a societal-scale sort of euphemistic tactic to make people feel better. The importance of physical attractiveness, with respect to common reasoning, seems to shift to one extreme or the other depending on whether the person one is talking to is ugly or attractive.

Once an unattractive person realizes this rhetorical shift everyone performs, how could they ever believe anyone who tries to make them feel better about their looks?

I do care. I'd like to understand what Elon's endgame is here. It looks to me like his goal is to reduce trust in the establishment ("wake up sheeple") possibly with the longer-term goal of large-scale social change.

That he got so mixed up about NPR just demonstrates he's not doing a very good job, undermining his own position. I care about that too: I'm hoping for an endgame where Twitter and Musk just go away forever, and we get to keep NPR and all those other mechanisms by which the hearts and minds of the next generation are won.

Want to avoid tyranny and environmental disasters? Limit the scope of laws and regulations. If a surgeon is removing cancer, does the patient want their chest cavity ripped open or a laparoscopy? In the absence of compelling additional evidence, I would go with the laparoscopy, which risks far fewer unforeseen complications. At the level of policy, I don't think history looks very kindly upon the 18th amendment to the US constitution (prohibition of alcohol) despite the very real societal problems it was intended to address.

Part of my point was that, for me, going to the store more frequently, even in a smaller vehicle, would be a net environmental negative. Is there evidence (e.g., detailed simulations) that a blunt policy would have a better outcome (using your own definition!) than a narrowly craft one?

I am pretty confident that narrow policies also have the long-term positive effect of reducing tribalism, because the average person ends up dealing with far fewer negative externalities of poorly crafted policy by "the other side".

A religious group that believes all disease is God's handiwork and people sin when they try to undo it can grind all medicine to a halt. Everything has a side effect that harms someone, even penicillin which encourages sex since it allowed syphilis to be cured.
It goes back to the same questions:
- Who funds this?
- Who ensures employment security?
- Would this not prevent diversity?
- How would this encourage upward mobility?

This seems like planned financial segregation. Factories began doing this in the 50’s and it turned into Gerri’s while wealthier moved away from the cities.

If you ignore the costs from stuff like vmware, vcenter, windows server, etc... sure. But it's weird to forget that managing VMs was a huge expense even before the shift to the cloud. No one was just hosting a few dozens or a few hundreds VMs without very expensive management software.

Shouldn't have happened if he was doing business there. Also, again, where is your proof? I Googled it but all I could find was a claim Trump made while campaigning:

"Mr. Trump hasn’t provided evidence to support the $1.5 billion financial claim"

https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trumps-claims-about-hunter...

"We have found no evidence to contradict that, and Trump hasn’t provided any. We also found no evidence that Joe Biden used his position as vice president to enrich his son."

But considering Trump's son in law was doing this while in office:

"tinyLM GitHub repository" links to https://github.com/sksg/tinyLM/blob/master/tinyLM.hpp, but that's a 404 page. And digging around in the actual repository doesn't show a tinyLM.hpp file anywhere--it looks like the project never actually developed beyond a gitignore and a readme.
It's not at all like the trie solution!
Not in performance and certainly not in terms of complexity.

A trie is a pretty nasty datastructure memory wise. It involves chasing pointers all over the place. The constants on a trie are not going to be very good.

For an incremental hash, you hash your string, and then you fix your hash up as you go. Then you look up your hash in a hash table. Code-wise it's far simpler to implement. And performance wise it will be far faster!

The two solutions have nothing to do with one another. Except that they're both O(n).

Yeah, disappointing to see this downvoted, and without even any down voters attempting to make a case for why this isn't a "good" answer.

I think that this part of the field is going to see a lot of relative growth as the broader public and governments become increasingly concerned. And for those who are not concerned with safety, it is not unreasonable to expect that capability progress could become bottlenecked by lack of model interpretability. Speculative, sure, but if we find that more data and transforms hits diminishing returns, it could prove significant to know what is going on inside the models. Maybe extracting and composing circuits is essential for AGI? Who knows?
You either care about the order of complexity, which is the big O, or you care about real-world performance of byte level operations. You can't have it both ways.

Sugar is not chemically inert. It actually takes the edge off pain and general misery.

I wish they would stop publishing results indicating that "We believe sugar does absolutely nothing whatsoever in the body, so if you consume sugar pills, clearly any reaction to it is complete bullshit made up by your mind because you believed in it."

Is anyone scholarly using "melee" that way? Or is it just ignorant amateurs? I've only encountered the latter (but I, and all my friends, find it hard to avoid saying "melee" to mean "hand-to-hand", because we were all D&D players before we were anything else).

Anyway, much as I do it, it annoys me too.

Related peeve, though as far as I know this is still restricted to gamers... How do you feel about "akimbo" meaning "wielding two guns, one in each hand", I believe that's from CounterStrike.

Or perhaps the word "glaive", to mean a thrown multi-bladed spinning weapon? I believe from Warcraft.
