In case the subtext wasn't clear, the definition I'm providing for "heritability" is the scientific definition, and has been for decades. My understanding is that it comes from woke biostatisticians like Karl Pearson, who applied it to the woke problem of working out how to select and propagate characteristics in agricultural products, back in the woke 1930s. Somebody can correct me on this if I have the chronology wrong.

I'm happy to keep going on like this, because you're surfacing a lot of pernicious "race science" myths in their absolute most easily rebutted form, which is (and here truly there is no snark intended) a sort of service to the thread.

Both StabilityAI and the open source community are working on improvements to Stable Diffusion.

Keep in mind StabilityAI is also pursuing LLMs and the host of other model types, whereas text to image is Midjourney's single core competency and value prop. Midjourney is very focused on staying ahead.

edit: I wanted to add that the extensive training costs can be prohibitive for the OSS community to fully participate. Coordination via groups such as LAION can help, but gone are the days of individual OSS participants contributing directly to core foundational model training.

ICE cars had an electric motor, a battery and an alternator since the earlier 20th century. Without those they were not very practical and required the driver to manually crank to start the engine. PHEV do not add a second power train, they just have a beefier electric system than a regular car and a charger.

> that answer is outdated and no longer works

This is one of the biggest challenges that I see for LLMs in relation to codig: Giving answers that work on the particular language and library version(s) you're developing for.

Most of the data these LLMs are trained on aren't labeled as to version number, so they really have no way of determining which version of a particular language or library the code they provide will work on.

It might work if you're doing something generic enough. Otherwise you're going to have to rely on luck on it working with your particular version.

I can't think of a way to overcome this.
Attractive doesn’t mean you are somehow born attractive or unattractive. Sure, people win the lottery and get a bit of a head start, but most of it is charisma, how you dress, if you’re in shape, if you wear deodorant, etc. Attractiveness is a thing anyone can change by putting in effort.

But no, I don't mean depreciation.

A 2019 vehicle that sits on a dealer lot slowly loses value over time. That has nothing to do with depreciation and everything to do with newer, better vehicles coming out over time. The same thing applies to computers and phones.

Because Forbes also still just about has enough cachet for people to want to associate their subject matter expertise with it - far more of a motivation than contributor fees for someone with Templeton's background and earning power - and probably also has rules around duplicate content

It's closer to Huffington Post than Medium, but I think the point being made is that there's zero editorial oversight in between the author drafting the post and it appearing on Forbes' website, just the possibility that someone at Forbes might remove "shoddy, libellous posts" at a later stage. I don't think Forbes would have any issue if Brad thought cheap sensationalism was a better way of promoting himself to the Forbes audience (and I doubt he'd quit writing if he wasn't potentially able to earn as much as $50 per blog!)
> Microsoft: invests 10 billion in company. Also Microsoft: here's the tools you need to DIY one of the premium features the company we just invested 10 billion in for free.

In my mind, MSFT spent that money to acquire a head start on getting LLM-style capabilities into MS’s profitable product portfolio. This is money well spent:

1. MSFT can and will make money on these capabilities.

2. If MSFT didn’t do this, they would take the substantial risk of someone else pulling it off and attacking their moat.

I can’t really imagine today’s Google pulling this off with Google Docs. Adobe doesn’t target MS’s market directly enough to be an immediate risk. Apple doesn’t seem interested in competing with MS. Meta is doing its own thing in the corner. But someone really could attack MS with something amazing and make short-term sales, which could turn into a long term loss for MS. (Salesforce? They don’t seem able make things that normal people want to use.). But MS is now ahead of the curve, and they didn’t really spend that much money to get there.

Keep in mind that LibreOffice is not vastly less capable than Office 365, and Teams is not exactly an insurmountably strong piece of technology.
You were arguing against an argument by popularity or something like that, but giraffe lady didn't say that you should be uncomfortable talking to nazis because they're near universally reviled? But because they are reprehensible, not due to how they're considered.

I think isolating white nationalists just makes them congregate on echo chambers more. There should be a balance; you should not talk to racists/people with evil views if you can't maintain boundaries with them. So I don't disagree that you should be uncomfortable
To be fair, that's In-and-Out's whole thing. They pay a living wage, so you as the customer don't feel like you're actively exploiting the person behind the counter by stepping foot in the place, and they use better ingredients so you don't feel like you're poisoning yourself. It helps the whole mood of the place. It used to be you were paying extra for that relative to, say McDonalds, but somehow they've also kept costs down relative to other fast food companies.

There's a reason it's generally well liked.
The tax bracket myth gets told to labor to keep their wages down. And it sticks! People get upset about raises!
> Those are primarily public health issues regardless of people’s puritanical views.

So why such a consistent obsession with making them stop or tolerating these acts done in private. If public health is the concern wouldn't needle exchanges, public toilets and street cleaning would be practical solutions? (I guess I should say Victorian rather than Puritanical.)

> We have a lot of rights stripped away from individuals (including you and me) to promote the public health at large.

Which ones?

> Furthermore, the constitution doesn’t get everything right and isn’t a backstop for arguing against anything

As far as I knew it was the basic document which outlined how rights between people and between people and the star should be balanced. And while it has a lot to say about rights to liberty, I find little to indicate we have a right to not see unpleasant things in public.

I don't think the status quo is good. I don't like avoiding shit on the sidewalk. I don't like explaining to my son why a man is stupified with a needle sticking out of his arm.

But I weigh those unpleasant events against throwing people against the system and taking their freedom and it's clear to me that their right to liberty outweighs my right to a pleasant Sunday stroll.

I think there is a moral imperative to change but I think turning once again towards creating a heartless state bureaucracy and pitting it against people who have absolutely nothing is not the change we need. I know that these people have been kicked over and over and over again and that to keep kicking is not a thing that makes sense. They are numb to the pain and you will not change them. You will only show how hard you can kick.
Perhaps he means in a "proxy-war" ? Because US is supporting South Korea and USSR / Russia is supporting DPRK.

You’re essentially saying once a criminal, always a criminal. That’s objectively false, even if it might be a statistically sound bet (I don’t know if it is, but to address the strongest version of your argument.)

Growing up in Bulgaria, in the 80s, live was easy and happy. Why? You did not have to think much about your future, finish high-school (required), get to university (free) or find a decent technical job. No complicated taxes, loans. Not much choice at the store - 2 kinds of everything - 2 kinds of beers, cheese, salami (well kind of). You look around - almost everyone is like you, maybe 2x less, maybe 2x more salary, some x10 - but you don't see them.

Everyone was like a well sized job running in k8s or nomad :) - because the goverment was like that. It's much easier to compertmenalize such people...

Now we are not "jobs" or "tasks" or "peons", we are people. So there was oppression, but it was hidden. People would joke, but then people might tell other people to the "secret service police".

As a kid, I had pretty good childhood! But still not sure if I had to be an adult during that period how I would've felt.

There's a difference between being wrong sometimes, and having no concept of objective reality at all.

I really don't understand how anyone can have such a positive impression. I refuse to register an account just to try it out myself, but that isn't necessary to form an opinion when people are spamming ChatGPT output which they think is impressive all over the Internet.

The best of that output might not always be possible to distinguish from what a human could write, but not the kind of human I'd like to spend time with. It has a certain style that - for me - evokes instant distrust and dislike for the "person" behind it. Something about the bland, corporate tone of helpfulness and political correctness. The complete absence of reflection, nuance, doubt, or curiosity with which it delivers "facts". Its refusal to consider any contradictions feels aggressive to me even - or especially - when delivered in the most non-judgemental kind of language.

It is like the text equivalent of nails on a chalkboard!

Same thoughts. I see mongo as a key-value store (string key -> string value), with a json wrapper over the values.
That paragraph struck me as well and I was going to make a similar comment. The idea of investment and fear of things 10 steps down the road is paralyzing. Even using the term "relationship" is this fashion makes it seem like an activity like a job, hobby, or sport.

It's much easier than all that. You meet someone. You connect. You want to spend more time with them. Things happen organically and you might have to make difficult decisions at some point but by then you'll actually have information and a reason.

Being in a relationship is part of the human condition. It's not for everyone and won't happen for everyone. But I think it's important to try. But not try and have a "relationship" but to try and meet new people of the gender(s) you're attracted to and open to whatever happens.

A buffer State. The PRC doesn’t want the Korean Peninsula used as a land-based route for an invasion of China by Japan, the US or Russia. Even if the DPRK is a problem, it’s also a barrier to entry for invading China and that’s good enough for the PRC to still support it.

It seems to have a similar problem to regular search engines when you ask about something niche. I asked a question about writing an FxPlug and it gave a nearly completely nonsensical answer. In fact, not only was the answer nonsensical, it clearly couldn’t distinguish that I was asking specifically about the FxPlug API and thought I was asking about general 3D rendering. (It did offer the FxPlug docs on the sidebar, but not the specific page that would have helped.) Parts of its answer was about rendering in OpenGL and part looked like it was about using either Unity or Unreal (not sure which). While you could potentially use any of those technologies, OpenGL has been deprecated for all macOS development for years, and I don’t know of anyone who has actually used Unity or Unreal for writing an FxPlug. It would be overkill in most cases.

Those are probably run by the FBI. It seems like a no brained for the government to try to run such services given the wealth of information they would provide.

I wasn't arguing that it's controlled by the government. It's somewhat controlled by the democratic party, which is 50% of the time in charge of the government.

I was mainly expanding on the fact that NPR chose to not represent 50% of the US population, and also miss having a chance of being a world class service, like the BBC or Al Jazeera.

> U.S. wanted to respond in kind, it could launch a missile from a ship in the Sea of Japan

There really isn't a ballistic trajectory that wouldn't land in PRC or SKR waters, unless it's a (relatively) low flying cruise missile that overflys SKR waters and circles back to land inJapanese waters in east sea which is much more escalatory than lofting a high flying ballistic over air space. Practically there isn't a viable "proportional" response, especially if failure = ordnance lands in PRC or RU territory.

Canadian doctors are routinely killing people, through the MAID program. Hospital are underfunded, and Shortages of staff, and lack of MRI machines are killing people who still want to live. 9 hour wait times in emergency rooms, pretty common.
Maybe we just know different people. In my experience laymen may care about it in the sense of “I wish my apartment building wasn’t falling apart” but not in the sense of “I want to build a house that my great grandkids can live in” because that’s hard and costs lots more money (upfront).

Part of the problem is information, in that it’s hard to know how long things will last. But I think this is secondary to most people being short term focused. I’d love to see a building company offering special materials for an extra long design life, but I doubt many people would be interested.

I found it really interesting that he's sure he's not aromantic, because he's fallen in love before, but can't say for sure whether he's asexual.

As someone who is both -sexual and -romantic, I find that fairly suggestive; at least for me, having a sex drive is a very noticeable experience.

Off topic, but as an introvert lurking in an introvert thread, I want to say: this is true professionally, too.

My boss's boss's boss put it this way: no one is spinning around in his chair at his desk, twiddling his thumbs, thinking, "_When_ will Tom ask me to meet over coffee?" But if you send him a note, and ask politely, and convey earnestness, odds are good he will meet you for coffee.
Too easy a dismissal, doesn't reach to explore. This very much enables a much more interesting future of smaller interoperating & pieces.

For example the DPDK work created a small alternative micro-monolith for high speed networking. If someone needs to make a new fast protocol like quic or something further afield conventionally they might have split between building a similar application-owning hardware view, building a kernel module, or facing extreme performance loss. Io-uring opens up much greater fields of extensibility by removing huge barriers, allowing work to spread out far wider than it could have before.

I agree on the surface this seems dissimilar. But architecturally what is enabled is a far greater range of considerations for how we might interlace responsibilities on systems. Io-uring on the surface is for apps to commuicate with the kernel, but if systems like fuse or uhid or other user land devices also prosper, it will disrupt the monolith's lock.
