This reminds me of a similar incident with the Apple App Store, there were so many negative reviews that rather than Apple forcing the developer to fix the issue, they just deleted all the negative reviews.

I agree with the author, this makes the entire Valve review system pointless.
It's a useful services no doubt, getting subsidies by the city looking for CO2/pollution reductions I guess, and about half the price of a regular taxi/cab ride for a single person (which used to be closer to one third when the service was new) but so far their vehicles aren't autonomous and the linked page doesn't claim them to be, nor are there other new milestones reported in this regard.

What we call justice has generally always involved a mix of deterrence, prevention and punishment for its own sake, ie to be seen as some sort of balancing of the wrong that’s been done. One might not like that idea but judges certainly think about all three aspects when sentencing.
Property theft is bad, significantly worse than the other 20 largest American cities.

Yep. It's almost like tiktok targets users who are only using system 1. If you just go with lizard brain reactions you don't care about any of that. But once system 2 is in play you start doing "crazy" things like watch a video forensically even if you don't want to be fed similar videos on the regular or skip videos even if they are about things you like, and you need some control over what you watch
That's because on the inverse of algorithm recommendations, everyone forgets that the platform is primarily built around an ad system that generates money... There is always going to be a conflict with recommendations because they need to placate and accommodate paying users of all kinds, even users with low quality content and outright commercials. Pretty much all of these social platforms work in this manner now. As a result everyone is seeing undesired (ad) boosted content on top of the other ads (that are marked as ads).

I like the very old version from Johnathan Swift in 1710 at the bottom of that:

"Few lies carry the inventor’s mark, and the most prostitute enemy to truth, may spread a thousand without being known for the author: besides, as the vilest writer has his readers, so the greatest liar has his believers: and it often happens, that if a lie be believed only for an hour, it has done its work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it; so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale has had its effect: like a man, who has thought of a good repartee, when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who has found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead."
When I see comments like this, I wonder about the personal morality of the poster and how they arrived at their worldview. It may be hard to beleive, but there are some advantages to truthfulness in this world.
Inevitably this stuff is going to end up in landfills, oceans, ... What if it's ingested?

I don't see "throwing 100 year old men who are not currently dangerous to anybody and going to die in a couple of years anyway" anywhere under the definition of "justice" in my dictionary. If anything, I'd expect to see a cross reference to "See: stupid wastes of time and money."

I had this revelation around 15 years ago. I was fiddling with custom i3wm setups and complex hotkey setups and my .emacs was longer than some short stories. I even had Windows with a custom explorer replacement that re-did the whole UI.

At some point I figured out that I spent so much time configuring everything at home, but I couldn't do the same for the other multiple computers I used at work (work machine + remoting to client's computers) and that started to grate on me.

I just gave up on customising and started using everything pretty much on the default settings. Haven't regretted it at all.

The only "custom" bits I have is a homeshick[0] setup and a Brewfile that install some basic shell tools for me on a new computer.

Oh, that makes me think of another interesting angle: Designing pages to minimize energy consumption on the client device. Of course, that probably reduces server load at the same time for some things - fewer bytes moved over the network helps both sides - but also includes things like less complex CSS/JS.
I, happily, don't live in SF. Every single time I go there it seems to get worse and my personal anecdotal experience is really bad but I don't have a dog in this fight. I think it is important to communicate about these things clearly and fix problems instead of bickering.

It is alarming to me (as a not American btw) that everything gets so politicized to the point that base reality cannot be agreed on. Crime in SF should not be some democrats vs republicans or philosophical outlook thing, it should just be a local issue.

Your explanation about his behavior is quite plausibly also sane and rational. I believe you believe that and see how you can think that. I just hope you can afford him the same benefit of the doubt I am affording you so you can talk it out without games, that is all I am saying.

I wish steam didn't have an effective monopoly on PC video game distribution. It was basically forced on us when CS 1.6 required it. But people will choose the option even slightly more convenient for them against ethical costs.

This hits home quite hard. I get depressed sometimes working on teams where I'm the most technically proficient on the team and I want to solve a problem in a way which will save everybody not just a little time, but probably save us enough time that we could remove one or two staff.

But then I remember how I got the skills to do such things. Hours of work a day for years at work. Hours of interest a way in my personal life. I did that for decades and I had a natural knack for such things. So it turns out the solutions I build would fall apart without me holding them together. As soon as I leave whatever I make will be thrown out. I'm not good enough to unilaterally make so tools that they are easily maintainable, debuggable, extendable, and so on by just anybody you hire off the street.

The more I understand how to reconcile these problems, the more I understand managers and architects.
And the problem is its mostly fixable, its just bone headed design decisions.

You've missed the point of the metaphor. "Nazi bar" is just colorful language for "shitty people who end up pushing the non-shitty people out simply by being who they are." Any hate group of any political stripes can qualify.

This is a well-studied phenomenon by now:

- New social media site becomes popular.

- Lots of people, including shitty-group people, join up en masse.

- Shitty-group people do their shitty stuff and piss the rest of the people off.

- Site management does nothing.

- Non-shitty people start to leave because they don't want to deal with this shit.

- Eventually, your population is now mostly shitty-group people.

- You as the site owner are branded as part of that shitty-group (regardless of whether you really are or not).

- Advertisers flee because they don't want their reputations tarnished.

- Your site loses money and popularity and becomes irrelevant.

Switch teams or leave? I left my faang a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did (though I realize not everyone has this luxury). Can't say everything is figured out but I don't have to interact with my former manager or feel anger when leaders promise they care about slowing down but then assign more work. In terms of isolation, if you're in SF and looking for a friend, happy to grab coffee and talk about something that isn't tech.

I think the point people are trying to make when they say things like this is that the reaction to "cops sometimes do dangerous things" is exaggerated. It's more dangerous to be a truck driver in the US than it is to be a cop, yet we still don't allow them to bazooka adjacent vehicles if they "reasonably perceive a threat".

I've been avoiding giving an answer in case someone who knew better than me came around (open invitation), but afaik expert testimony is evidence and the case is decided on the best evidence. So why not? You'll have to do some work to establish the expertise of the witness, and the opposing side might attack those credentials and such and they'll probably produce their own expert rather than just rolling over, but in principle you could have an entire case that consists of various expert testimony.

I don't think the suggestion is meant to be that this is a realistic scenario though, just that the court isn't as mechanical and naive as we programmers are prone to imagining (being stewards of systems that are largely mechanical and naive).

I don't think that's the point of GP's statement "This is not borne out by the evidence - it's propaganda."

But to your point, I also respect truck drivers (that can do their job properly) just as I respect police officers (who can also do their job properly). Not all truck drivers and police officers are created equal amongst their peers, they are human, some specific humans with more faults than others.

No-one said it was the most dangerous job, they are saying they put their lives on the line. Which they do.

Note that the April 2023 patch is live, and perhaps one of the biggest changes to the meta ever. I don't think anyone really knows how the new meta will shake out.

Build orders will absolutely change this patch. Though I guess that only matters if you were hoping to get to a competitive level.

Definitive Edition does have a very good tutorial mode for people interested in online combat, and "Extreme" AI is 100% legitimate (AoE2 Extreme does NOT cheat, you're fighting it fair-and-square, but Extreme does a proper build order so it just "feels" quick if you haven't studied build orders yet)
> Each BEAM process (other runtimes would call them preemptable green threads) has its own heap, communicates with other processes by messages, and only works on immutable data without the involvement of Native Interface Functions (NIFs). There’s no shared memory at all.

Is this related to my question?

I can see that this helps to prevent (or ease) out-of-memory errors. Other than that, what's the difference to using Rust's green threads, given that the developer knows what they are doing (but are still human and can make mistakes of course)?

Maybe a concrete example would help me (and others) to understand the difference.
BPE is not set to a certain length, but a target vocabulary size. It starts with bytes (or characters) as the basic unit in which everything is split up and merges units iteratively (choosing the most frequent pairing) until the vocab size is reached. Even 'old' BPE models contain plenty of full tokens. E.g. RoBERTa:

https://huggingface.co/roberta-base/raw/main/merges.txt

(You have to scroll down a bit to get to the larger merges and image the lines without the spaces, which is what a string would look like after a merge.)

Also see GPT-2:

https://huggingface.co/gpt2/raw/main/merges.txt

I recently did some statistics. Average number of pieces per token (sampled on fairly large data, these are all models that use BBPE):

RoBERTa base (English): 1.08

RobBERT (Dutch): 1.21

roberta-base-ca-v2 (Catalan): 1.12

ukr-models/xlm-roberta-base-uk (Ukrainian): 1.68

In all these cases, the median token length in pieces was 1.

(Note: I am not debating that newer OpenAI models don't use a larger vocab. I just want to show that older BBPE models didn't use 3 char pieces. They were 1 piece per token for most tokens.)
From the booster's point of view, the catch is a target location and speed. Plus a set of tolerances: however much the arm can swing to catch it, and horizontal speed has to be really low because it needs to drop down vertically into the arms. I would expect that the target on the ocean, even for the first test, is very specific. Once the booster can hit a phantom target, they can change the target to the tower and go for a catch attempt.
I'm skeptical. It's hard to know for sure with the attempt limit, but while I wasn't able to immediately break it, within the 5 allowed prompts I was still able to get it to misreport what my prompt was by recursively passing in its error response as part of my prompt.

That's not a full success, but... it does show that even something this small and this limited in terms of user input is still vulnerable to interpreting user input as part of previous context. Basically, even in the most limited form possible, it still has imperfect output that doesn't always act predictably.

This is also (I strongly suspect) extremely reliant on having a very limited context size. I don't think you could get even this simple of an instruction to work if users were allowed to enter longer prompts.

I think if this was actually relatively straightforward to do with current models, the services being built on top of those models wouldn't be vulnerable to prompt injection. But they are.
I don't think a "filament" would work.

To obtain the efficiency gains, the device needs to reflect most of the IR photons back onto the hot emitter, which would be a filament in a regular incandescent lamp. But the filament's cross section is small compared to lamp's. If an IR photon must reflect 1000 times before hitting the filament (very optimistic!), and the reflector reflects 99.9% of the IR photons back inside, only about 37% of the IR photons will hit the filament. And at that they only have about 5-10% chance to be re-emitted as visible light, depending on the temperature.

So, for the economy of the photons to work, a large black glowing ball would be needed; any photons inside it would be recycled, and it would readily absorb most of the photons returned to its outer surface by the miraculous IR reflector.

Thermal losses would still be pretty noticeable because argon can't have too low pressure, else it won't prevent the evaporation of the emitter. The device would run pretty hot, which is a source of inefficiency.

I don't know whether it would be more efficient than the large and very hot arc lamps [1] which illuminate stadiums or even large shopping centers, with electrical efficiency above 50%.

And it has spread. Witness U.S. hard-right politics. Eventually the "Gish Gallop" becomes an assault on factuality itself. As Jason Stanley says, they goal of ending factuality is to "smash truth and replace it with power."

People on various drugs can stay awake for days at a time. Look at some meth addict documentary for some insight into this. At some point for some people alcohol can keep them awake too. Which seems counter intuitive but their body reacts differently to the depressive effects of booze than most people and stimulates a waking effect. Alcoholics are pretty prone to this.

> Elixir could teach some really good practices to people writing code, which is why I'm somewhat sad that other languages can supersede it (go, rust).

My problem with this statement is, that it emphasizes the language (Elixir) but what you really mean is the paradigm of using the BEAM no? As in, using Erlang or Elixir doesn't really matter for those good practices, even if Elixir is nicer in some regards.

In that case, it should be written like that, otherwise it will confuse people and prompt them to disagree, like I did.

I suffered burn out about 15 years ago. If you would have asked me back then, if I was feeling stress or was nearing burn out, I would have said no, not a chance. I was feeling great. If you however would have me take one of those self assessment tests, it would show all the red flags.

I guess what I am trying to say is this: don’t necessarily trust your own assessment of the situation. Keep your eyes out for the warning signals.
