Maybe you're stuck in some A/B control group type deal, because the same happens to me and the handful of people I've seen accessing imgur while screensharing.

It's not a new development, I believe this has been the case since at least 2016.

If visiting the page directly, we get served a HTML document with a billion resources that loads the image with a comment section beneath it, and includes a sidebar of "related" and "newest in most viral" content.

PiMiga3 a Linux based Amiga emulation tribute to the C= Amiga
This article is about a therapy that shows promise for age related macular degeneration, being promising for glaucoma as well.

I recently heard about using gene therapy to cure sickle cell anemia.

Might be a good hedge, but I bet there will be ways to treat age related diseases well soon. Of course you’d have to be filthy rich or be a test subject to get it.
Scott is a lot more accessible and engaging as a writer and did a lot to turn SSC/ACX into a platform for other like-minded bloggers. Gwern’s content is a lot more niche and he’s also less consistent with his output, but what he does put up is great. I don’t think anyone reads Yud anymore - all of his best writing was 10+ years ago and nowadays he’s a furry mascot for the scene who occasionally engages in apocalyptic screeching
And so what about the downsides? The ultimate target for terrorists. If that comes down and it wraps itself around the Earth, it'll be devastating.
Too bad someone will write an article titled "Will we get space elevators sooner than we think?" and Betteridge's law will prevent it from happening.
No, Anglo-Saxon (or more correct Old English) is not a north-germanic language. Germanic languages per se are traditionally split into three branches: west- east- and north-germanic. English, as do German, belongs to the west-germanic branch. Though it is true that English for a time was heavily influenced by Old Norse (which as a precursor to the modern scandinavian languages sits on the north-germanic branch).

Here is an elementary proof:

Since m and n are distinct, we may assume that m > n >= 2. From the equation and unique factorization, we know that n divides m, so write m = nd.

Then (nd)^n = n^(nd).
Hence d^n = n^{n(d-1)}, which yields d = n^{d-1} >= 2^{d-1}.

Claim: if k is an integer greater than or equal to 3, then k < 2^{k - 1}.

Proof: the base case is clear: 3 < 4. Suppose k > 3 and k - 1 < 2^{k - 2}.
Then k < 2^{k-2} + 1 <= 2^{k-1}, where the last inequality holds because 2^{k-1} - 2^{k-2} = 2^{k-2} >= 1. QED

So, d must be less than 3. Since m = nd and m and n are distinct, d is not 1, so d = 2.
Since d = n^{d-1} and d - 1 = 1, we have n = d, so m = 4.

Indeed! Just one example in /r/Diablo_2_Resurrected/ screenshots of very good, very rare items are marked NSFW because they're considered "disgustingly good" and because having to do an extra step to reveal the item provides a "rush" similar to gambling.

My own feeling about the speed of adoption in languages and libraries, nothing more. Something can take off but still play a major role. Just like LLMs took off recently but still play a minor role in almost every area I know.

That's called "extra territorial" laws... and that's an US-concept lately brought in the EU laws (to counteract US extra territorial laws).

It's the same as the US able to fine two foreign entities doing business together... because they use dollar for the transaction: the US is not part of the transaction EXCEPT for the use of the money.

Usually, the "guilty" companies will be fined and then... either ignore it (but risk trouble directly in the US or when they will try to have business with an US entity... or with an entity having part of its activity in US...), or just pay. Same will apply here: either pay the fine or you won't be able to do business in the EU nor with any EU company... and possibly even not with a company in business with a EU company (indirectly)
To be real, only Safari actually matters as alternative to Chrome.

Touches a chord this post.Systems like Kubernetes, Kafka are inherently complicated. My previous company got baremetal from AWS and installed k8s cluster on them. No offense to who architected it, we had multi country infra and made sense to take care of cost advantages on lower cloud costs using alternate providers

We got a lot of critical infra running on them and then slowly there was tech-debt that would start accumulating. Clusters have to get updated , older DNS versions in k8s are slow, networking (Older Weave versions was bursting through the seams when the traffic exploded with many applications onboarded). SRE teams get overwhelmed, constant requests for adding PVC (Kafka & C* was on k8s) took a toll.
Sanity prevailed in the end, there was decision to move to hosted PaaS infra, though I no longer work there, I just reminisced what we were going through.

Though a "cloud-independent" solution will save pennies, it will definitely drown dollars in personnel costs and the uptime/SLA

History repeats itself, because we don't learn from our mistakes (us or others)
It makes redundancy, self healing, scaling, rolling updates, rollbacks and the like error easy, assuming that your services are stateless.

If you do not need this features k8s is not the thing to use, unless you have the skill set anyways.

Things get messy when state and persistence is involved, I’d prefer to habe my backend DB not on k8s and link the services against it.

Obviously, USA-ian. The poll you quoted and linked deals with what Americans think, which is kind of reinforcing GP's point: the current treatment of pornography around the world, especially on the Internet, is in large part a US protestant/puritan cultural export.

That is mostly because the international space community works with metric, so the Karman line is at 100km above earth, and converting to imperial units would be forced.

> For instance, the two sets {1,2,3,4} and {A,B,C} are such that none is equal to a proper subset of the other.

The existence of an injective function is what makes subset {A,B,C} a "proper subset" [sic] of {1,2,3,4}, in context of comparing their size.

The terminology could be chosen better, but I think the intended meaning is clear.

at least they should be direct and upfront about what they want.

no more free digital assets. the logic of the market is imposing itself over the digital realm (the inside of the internet?)

this logic wants us to pay to copy. just imagine if you had to pay every time digital information gets copied!

I don't think anybody would be able to afford to run their own computers. how many times are bits getting copied all over the place during normal operation? all routers would have to be shut down to avoid litigation!

I know I am taking this to an extreme, but where does it end? does it ever stop? why should only some get to keep the enormous advantage unlocked by digital information while the rest are forced to pay?

to be fair this is also in reaction to https://torrentfreak.com/brazils-ministry-of-justice-asks-go...

I suspect people love the concept of Make, not its implementation, that’s just Stockholm Syndrome after using it for too long. It does fit beautifully into the „everything is a file“ paradigm tho!

Never used Xmake, looks nice and clean - the Zig way seems promising as well…

My guess this is an example of a budding genre that will examine the differences between having relationships with humans albeit "artificially" enhanced vs having "relationships" with purely artificial humanoids connected to the "internet" (or whatever the enormous hive-mind of all knowledge, wisdom and calculated attempts to make us buy things will be called moving forward).

Some people will likely still prefer the former, for the foreseeable future.
Reads a lot like Stockholm Syndrome.

Make is terrible. It's just widespread, not very hard to start with and better than all the alternatives (which often are better, but not as easily found or preinstalled)

But it is obtuse for no good reason other than being a piece of software born in a long-gone era of computing. Whoever loves Makefile has never had to debug the compilation process of any non-trivial build system, with three dozen ways to define variables, rules and targets, spread over multiple files.

When in doubt, I'll create a Makefile (actually, I use `just` for my personal projects because 99% of the time in 2023 one just needs a task runner). There is much better software to write love letters about.
What are those trivially defined {r0,r1} for the "interleaving digits" map f:(0,1) -> (0,1)^2 defined by taking a real x in (0,1), writing its decimal expansion as

x=0.a1a2a3a4a5a6...

(always pick the nonrepeating decimal expansion in case x has two) and sending it to the pair (y,z) where

y=0.a1a3a5...
z=0.a2a4a6...

(Using (0,1) is no issue since we can compose later with bijections (0,1) -> R)

Edit: I'm not sure why I cannot reply to your reply, but {π,π} is not even in (0,1)^2

We can also do a map f:R -> R^2 directly, it's just slightly more annoying to write. Take a real number x, written in decimal expansion as

x=bn...b2b1b0.a0a1a2a3a4...

where again we choose the representation which is not repeating in case x has two. We also choose our first index n so that bn is zero but b(n-1) is not. We now map x to the pair (y,z), where

y=...b5b3b1.a1a3a5...

z=...b4b2b0.a0a2a4...

So that, for example, (π,π) is the image of x=33.114411559922...
Bit silly if you ask me. Why even keep the old Testament. Should be culled.
If you have a key that can't be reflashed, source code is irrelevant. It may as well be hardwired circuits. Even Richard Stallman agrees on this point. I don't want a field programmable key, because it expands the attack surface.If you like weakened security, that's fine.
Even JS engines do it :D

Specifically the JS engines implement a few JS builtins in javascript, but as they need guaranteed values (including functions) in a bunch of cases they use magic syntax to ensure that the JS engine will use internal values and properties instead of performing generic (and hence user modifiable) lookups. In JSC I think I did this with the @ prefix, and I _think_ when I did that there was already literature that used @SomeThing syntax to mean builtins. The JSC mode for builtins also disallows capturing any normal properties from the containing scope. This provides security in two directions: the @ shenanigans and capture restrictions all serve to prevent the builtin providing access to privileged operations or information to malicious JS, and the syntax break means people can't just blindly use the implementations of builtins from the engine itself and assume it will be safe (safety inside the JSVM is ensured because the builtins are parsed and built in a slightly different mode).

You certainly can have tool-generated C# files, because the GRPC protobuf compiler does that and integrates it nicely into VS projects. It's not exactly what I'd call simple, though: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/csharp/Grpc.Too... so I'm not surprised that people don't try to spend days learning it and making it work.

One could probably write a "how to speak MSBuild for people who understand Make" page based on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbui... ; basically

Make -> MSBuild

Item : File (e.g. foo.c)

Target : Target (e.g. %.o:%.c)

(environment) variable : Property

tab-indented shell : Task (usually a C# assembly, although there's a generic "run command" one as well)

Free tip for anyone trying to debug MSBuild: https://msbuildlog.com/ . AFAIK there isn't anything quite as good for Make.
So your only problem is with the word "size" (and relatedly "smaller" and "bigger")?

That seems like a fairly "trivial" issue. I don't think there is any particular benefit to using those terms except that they are evocative of the kind of thing we are talking about when we compare sets. Saying "size" is a useful way to get an idea into someone's head, the objective reality behind it is the definition of cardinality, nothing else.
"Unique content" is half an hour away of getting absorbed into whatever AI model you have, which can than crunch out an endless amount of variations on it. 

The issue with AI art isn't just what it can do, but how insanely fast it is at it. It can start copying you before you have even finished your art piece and it can produce new ones 1000x faster than you, in your style. It already can produce images faster than you can view them and generate text faster than you can read. An AI-Spotify that just streams endless amount of AI music, custom written specifically for you, might not be far away.

And that's not going to be the end of it, the next step would be generating unique content from scratch, since AI can be trained on what people are listening too and than predict what might be the next trending thing.

I really don't see how one can compete with that as a singular artist in the long run. Some big companies might survive by being the ones that run those AI models, but the individual artist will have so much competition that they won't even be noticed in the first place.
Hackers Using Old Nokia 3310 Phone to Steal Cars
Floats can represent all integers with magnitude <=2^53. Which is a sight smaller than integers, under the standard representation (magnitude <2^62), but still plenty for most applications—the point is to use this to implement integer math, not float math. That covers multiplication, addition, and subtraction; div/mod is admittedly a bit trickier, though it's a doozy with avx512.

(There's also a cute consequence: you can construct numbers outside the contiguous range of representable integers; so long as you never incur any rounding error, the result will be correct, and the inexact flag will not be set.)

How the Music of ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Became a Smash Hit
I’ve just been searching for info on how much of this song is actually “AI generated”. The initial news reports I read described only “AI generated vocals” (ie. effectively musical TTS with accurate AI modelled voices).

But the phrase “AI generated song” implies more than just the voices.

Anyone have a non-clickbait source which provides more details?
Thanks! (I've snipped out that bit from my comment now too.)
No, it isn't. If you genuinely believe this then you live under a rock and are unaware of microtonality, creating your own scales et al.

Most existing music is 4/4 too for starters because it is club-oriented, tons of other underexplored time signatures. If what you said was true then scores for picture and games wouldn't be so innovative.

I had a few late friends who pioneered never-before-seen technologies, for which the tools created whole new genres.

I see a completely different picture.

Productivity will skyrocket and with it the standard of living. Humans will always enjoy having other humans doing stuff for them.

Sure, it will be faster this time and there will be some growth pains.

It's not a matter of being ready, it's a matter of needing this. If you look at society's problems today, we're in a deadlock. I believe the benefits of AI can help alleviate a lot.
