The scene is also funny because the person who mentions its on sale isn't attractive (at least, in my opinion) yet they're informed. Its a clever trick, given the goal was to prevent HIV spreading by promoting condom usage among the German people. I'm not even sure why I remember the commercial. Probably because I'm from a Dutch area where people watch a lot of German TV (not our household though).

With regard to the other quote: a man cannot save sperm for weeks, he'll have a wet dream eventually, after approx one week. So its either a straight up lie, an overstatement / white lie, someone who doesn't know such (though we don't know if the person asking knows such or sees through it), or its taken honestly and literally (he's saved up, but who knows how full the bucket is). Since we both have autism, I suppose we go for the last explanation.

Sure, you can do that on Twitter already, plenty of depraved porn on that platform. Imgur doesn't have to allow that. It's not like there is a lack of places on the internet where you can post porn.

Just another reminder that, once you learn about reification, it pops up everywhere. Us humans have a horrible habit of taking abstract concepts and gradually, as we use them over time, starting to believe the words associated with the concepts (necessarily constrained relational mental pictures) are like real, tangible, denotable things that exist, like an apple or a ball.

I wouldn't be surprised if the book reviewed in the article is 100% correct and that the concept of creativity is just that, and it's really improper to think of it like some possessed "trait". I also wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of people never learn or realize this and go on treating it as though it's some inherited special something. That's really how it is with all psychological concepts. Intelligence and mind emerge in an environment they aren't some weird, immutable properties you are or aren't born with. We are a mixture of genetic templating and environmental feedback and constant adaptation. This is why IQ tests are moronic. This is also why it's silly to ask if machines "think". Cognitive systems think. Humans and a variety of other organisms and tools form cognitive systems. We are nothing without our inputs and milieu.

Both are tourist trap trash. They are the kind of place where you order wiz and think you're getting something good and authentic, but its really something created for tourists that can be sold with cheap ingredients at a marked up price. They are overpriced and only enjoyable if you've only ever had cheesesteaks at places like Subway and other locations that call them "steak and cheese" subs.

Its been a while since I lived in Philly, but have visited regularly since graduating college (2012). The best I had when I lived there was Joe's under its previously extremely racist name, followed closely by Jim's.

Recently took a friend from out of the country to Philly for her first cheesesteak and although I enjoyed Jim's still, she didn't understand the hype for a cheesesteak, so we avoided them the rest of the week.

Took her to Joe's on Torresdale as we were leaving the city (apparently one month before that location closed forever in favor of a more popular area), and she finally understood why it was a famous regional dish. Their cheesesteaks are amazing.

Also I'm completely convinced that the internet hype around broccoli rabes is a completely made up SEO infecting real life phenomena. None of my friends from college who grew up in Philly had ever had one when I asked about it and when we made treks to the various "famous" locations, everyone was just mad we didn't spend the gas on getting cheesesteaks instead. The best cheesesteaks in the city are pretty established since the 80s and people have their opinions pretty set in stone so b/vloggers don't have much to write about outside of hyping up something that isn't popular.

I mean its in deuteronomy 22:11 explicitly. Orthodox jews are the ones who live by it, but you'd think anyone who believed in the bible would follow outright restrictions like that.

This in contrast to not mixing milk and meat, which is an expansion of "do not cook a kid in its mother's milk" from deuteronomy 14:21.

If you look at the two it would seem wearing linen and wool together is much worse than mixing milk and meat.

why is baffling, but thats religion.
I'm trying to understand 5). If you're claiming that both (A) y > x, and (B) x^y > y^x hold, then x^y > y^x ("will always be larger") holds. You're satisfying your claim by assumption. Nothing new is deduced.

However, if only A) needs to be satisfied: y = 3, x = 2 is a counterexample, as x^y = 2^3 = 8 < 9 = 3^2 = y^x.

Being able to understand the way in which mathematical usage of phrases like “the same size as” is different than intuitive uses of the same phrase is becoming increasingly important. Only six months ago I was seeing a dozen YouTube videos a day claiming g “Physics proved that the universe is not real!” because some physicist decided to overload the “real” operator in the English language.
How would it get to that point? There's no connection between having an internet connection and ending the human race.

These are all sci-fi stories that come with unexamined assumptions that something "smart" and "optimal" is going to be invented that's so good at its job that you can ask it to do X and it's going to do completely impossible thing Y without running out of AWS credits first.

(I personally think that humans are not "optimal" and that an AGI will also not be "optimal" or else it wouldn't be "general". More importantly, I don't think AGIs are going to be great at their jobs just because they have computer brains, and this is clearly an old SF movie trope.)
Yes, I've got that part - but that only gets me as far as R * I ^ (d - 1), not R ^ d.

(d being the dimensionality of the curve.)

As I think about this there's an unfilled infinitesimal R ^ (d - 1) space orthogonal to every point on the curve.

I don't see how it is that that does not manifest as discontinuities in the filled space.
Twitter [0] explicitly allows sexual content:

> You can share graphic content and consensually produced adult nudity and sexual behavior content within your Tweets, provided that you mark this media as sensitive.

But since we're on the topic, one social media service that you didn't mention is TikTok. I haven't seen anyone write about this and find it a bit fascinating. Although TikTok claim that sexual content isn't allowed, a lot of adult sex workers continuously skirt or outright ignore the rules. Some sex worker's strategy seems to be to continuously create multiple new accounts, as new accounts have a time period and size limit where growth and reach is really easy in order to get creators initially hooked. Two trends I've encountered are women flashing their vaginal lips through a see-through dress with a backlight and women flashing their breasts on reflective background items while seeming to engage in some mundane activity. But even the sex workers that don't engage in blatant TOS violations clearly create content to lead you towards their OnlyFans page. A breakdown of the evolution of the sex worker advertisement meta on TikTok is a YouTube video waiting to be made, especially as TikTok dies off and the strategies no longer remain viable as a vehicle for growth.

But what is poverty if it's not an absolute measure, but rather a relative measure (relative to someone who is _not_ in poverty)?

The line of poverty, under the relative measure model, would just keep growing. I don't agree with that - poverty should be measured absolutely; ala, the minimum calories you can intake and maintain health, the minimum heating/clothing required to not freeze to death or succumb to the elements, sanitation, and basic healthcare (things like cuts/bruises/bacterial infections dont kill you).

As soon as you start to include things that didn't exist at the time of setting this absolute baseline but would in the future if the technology develops, you start moving the poverty goalpost. For example, the internet didn't exist in the 1960's, but i've heard that access to it is included in poverty meaasures today.
Too many network calls. Technically it's feasible, operationally it's expensive for Telemetry usecase. Ex: Imagine we are capturing API telemetry. If there are 1000 API calls per minute per node, then we will end up somewhere 1000*10 calls per minute to Kafka. It's not efficient.
3rd party reddit apps rival reddit's own app in terms of popularity, and will be significantly hamstrung by these changes if NSFW content can only be accessed in the official app. Lots of non-porn content is marked NSFW. It may end up having a much larger impact than reddit corporate anticipates.

Setting aside the bonus/entitlement/tirade/apology part of this story, the basic issue in this business is not hard to see for anyone on the outside.

People are going into the office less and businesses are cutting staff. That means less need for office furniture. That's the structural backdrop this business is in. As CEO it's your job to figure out a business strategy against this backdrop.

If people are not selling product it could be

(a) The sales peoples' fault for sucking at their job/not having enough morale so they need your "rallying cry"

or (probably) (b) your fault for keeping the business making only things that people don't really need right now.

I mean there still are people making and selling buggy whips but it's a heck of a lot more niche of an industry than it was 200 years ago and if you were CEO of a buggy whip manufacturer, ripping into your sales people and saying "Stop living in pity city and get out there and sell more goddamn buggy whips!" isn't going to solve your business problems.

PC Engine complained about a lack of design support. Personally I just am not that sympathetic. There are a variety of new Ryzen embedded cores which have really great capabilities that could fit this model. We're just not in the same world where AMD is going to sit down & lead you through design, like a much much smaller world was. And board design is harder, faster systems. It's just harder to make boards.

What really sucks is that this frell over a huge market segment. Industrial embedded stuff is all crazy expensive. New embedded systems are often $700 plus.

I'm also curious to know what availability on embedded parts is. I get the impression old parts aren't necessarily easy to get, much less get with reasonable discount prices. The low-end R1505G from 2019 was $80 when announced, & my vague impression is this is still about as low as one's gonna go for getting a embedded Ryzen chip. The GX-412 chips from 2014 were probably half the price.

It's so awful that the gap between rpi & x86 grows. Sure there are excellent second hand markets, but the x86 market running upmarket is a terrible general situation. Decent embedded chips should be a very cost effective available baseline, should make lots of affordable baseline low frills systems available.
I think something people in this community should consider is incorporating their ventures in more equitable and democratic ways (as B corps, as worker's cooperatives, etc). It won't be possible for everyone (particularly people relying on angel funding, who will presumably be met with great skepticism) but I think it may be possible to create some new expectations about how a company runs, and that small worker's coops may have an advantage in tech. Tech requires lots of cross-disciplinary cooperation, so I think small, flat co-ops may come to better decisions faster and have an advantage over other firms.

I don't understand why Imgur did the following on https://imgurinc.com/rules , which I'd assume would be vetted by a lawyer...

Caption on example photo of mocking an obese person sitting on a too-small metal folding chair, consequently with a little butt crack visible (maybe at an MtG event):

> This buttcrack isn't intended to stimulate erotic feelings, so it's ok.

Two sections later, this photo itself seems to hit about half of the section:

> No hate speech, abuse or harassment.

Including:

> attacks on people based on their [...] age, disability or medical condition*

> harassment in the forms of [...] or inciting the community into support or disdain for a person, organization or community*

> content that attacks, bullies, or harasses non-public people

> any image taken of or from someone without their knowledge or consent for the purpose of harassment, [...]

> Posts that might be taken down may include: [...] negative stereotypes, [...] malicious personal attacks on non-public individuals, [...] “fat people hate,” [...] photos taken of a non-public figure without their knowledge to make fun of them

Then this section claims to tend to err on the side of taking down content:

> It's important to keep in mind that not everything that's mean or insulting is hate speech. That said, the line between unintentional and serious attacks is sometimes difficult to identify, so we're likely to err on the side of taking abusive content down.

Yet they're including a harassing image in the same rules page, captioned as "ok".

This seems sloppy to me. And, when it's in the context of a historically risky move of a major NSFW hoster going anti-NSFW, I wonder whether that part has been worked through meticulously.

Kudos to Imgur for surviving this long. I remember when they were effectively Reddit's image CDN, with the norm seeming to be Imgur-served images embedded with `img` elements in Reddit pages. I'd wondered how that worked, financially, and whether there were deals with Reddit, or it was just unofficially symbiotic. Imgur has been an important part of the Web for a long time, and hopefully they've figured out a good/necessary direction for 2023, and will execute well on it.

really? i would imagine they would find a job, and is willing to accept one that paid at least minimum wage.
I think describing the value as "very close to 0" distorts things somewhat. The global extreme poverty line is $2.15 per person per day. If someone earns 10x that in a poor country, it may be enough to feed yourself and even send your kids to school. There's lots of room near $0.

Then hopefully middle class can be generated in a poor country by modernisation and education.
Honestly it’s possible that we are all some LLM agents with fabricated egos and a sense of destiny

That's true, friends/Monica was the first that came to my mind. But then I started thinking about other friends-like shows and I'm surprised how much this does not affect HIMYM - there are some traits that become slightly more visible, but they're "real" and everyone seems actually aware of them. For example Joey gets stupid-slutty for cheap comedy, but Barney gets slightly more slutty and it's actually part of the story.

I agree that linear reads and writes are not relevant these days in most settings.

I've worked on my own DB engine that uses a structure similar to LSM (but it's not an LSM tree), where the highest possible performance (millions of TPS) for random-writes mixed with semi-sorted writes mixed with random-reads on current SSDs was the target. There's no need for any data to be allocated sequentially on those, other than just enough aggregation to ensure a sufficiently large block size to reduce IOPS during streaming and merging operations, when IOPS-bound. Indeed it's better to fragment to reuse already filesystem-allocated space where possible - that lowers overhead on the filesystem.

I also agree that a well tuned RocksDB can perform very well, and that the authors have done the work, and that it has methods to reduce avoidable write amplification.

However, the RocksDB applications I've seen haven't use the fancy APIs to get the most out of it. They just used it as a plain k-v store with little understanding of what makes a DB sing, and got not great performance as a result.

Twitter literally lets you log in to multiple accounts from the same session. You can reuse the same emails & phone numbers too.

So contrary to what you say, the practice of having "alts" is pretty much encouraged.
I think this happens because show-writers are threading the personality of a character through successive generational sieves. A character who is known for traits X, Y, and Z may lose two of those traits as they go out of style with audiences, leaving the character one-dimensional.

Orion's Arm's reasonably hard science fiction opened up my brain to how ridiculous a UFO would be. Humanity is "young" (9000 years since Apollo think?), and they have stuff like AI made megastructure sensors that can see movement on planets from lightyears away, hyper advanced and completely invisible nanotech that can govern planets, brains that span stars, and had it fairly early in their history. Even if our alien neighbors were that young (which is basically impossible), why would such a civilization have an atmospheric flying saucer? I makes no sense. Its like a caveman postulating that people will use smoke signals at 2023's tech level.
