You know as well as I do that social skills are culture- and context-dependent. I am merely pointing out the absurdity of defining "proper" social skills.

For instance, some people value "checking in" and "empathetic speech" as regular, proper features of conversation, while for some that can be grating and wholly improper. Some see no issue with talking down to service industry employees, while some consider that a grave sin.

That you've avoided answering what notion of "proper" you're interested in discussing this far into the comment thread is telling that you just want to assert your own viewpoint on this inherently subjective matter. It's intellectually dishonest which ultimately makes it irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Standards differ over time and between people.
In the README they even call it "Modified MIT", the modification being where they turned it from a very permissive license into a fully proprietary one. Very cool model though.
Sideloading would absolutely benefit users. Even just being able to choose and install your own web browser would have enormous benefits. Android users know.

It summarized my understanding after a month of reading documentation, doing experiments, and generally banging my head against the wall.

It's not even Brexit really - the whole of Europe is poorer on a real, practical level because its economies cannot produce the same amount of stuff. Brexit put some additional barriers to exporting and importing stuff from Europe, but generally speaking the main reason imports aren't available cheaply is because the supply isn't there for anyone and export markets are mostly going away because there's no longer the same market for those goods or services full stop.
Not really, insofar as that early buyers aren't paid out w the entry of new participants with the absence of any real productive usage of capital. It's more that firms invest in production with the expectation for demand to increase, and outside of increased per capita spending, the main contributor to that effect would be simply more participants in the market. The expectation is obviously somewhat self-serving, but there isn't the sort of hollowness as you would get in a Ponzi Scheme. The system itself would still work so long as population growth slowly came to a halt rather than collapsed and firms observed such trends.
The conditions existed long before Brexit, _and_ Brexit made it materially worse

Many of the older methods also lack research backing. I'd be curious to see your evidence on charter schools somehow being good, as every one that I have seen is... less than compelling. Unless you completely disregard the selection bias that goes into how kids got into the school. And further disregard that many of them can refuse admission to kids.

"I’ve seen repeatedly that it’s much harder for a ML PhD to learn chemistry than for a chemist to learn ML. (This may be survivorship bias; the only chemists I encounter are those that have successfully learned ML, whereas I see ML researchers attempt and fail to learn chemistry all the time.)"

This is something that rings really true to me. I work in imaging and it's just very clear that there are groups of people in ML that don't want to learn how things actually work and just want to throw a model at it (this is a generalization obviously, but it's more often than not the case). It only gets you 80% there, which is fine usually, but not fine when the details are make or break for a company. Unfortunately that last 20% requires understanding of the domain and people just don't like digging into a topic to actually understanding things.
Not my experience tbh. It could be cultural differences, but parents disengage because they don't know how to help their children w/o creating tensions and/or without neglecting the rest of their life. If the teacher provides a cheap way (low time investment) for parents to have a view on what's done in the classroom and what their children are supposed to know, they usually embrace it, from what I've seen.

There is some cases where yes, the parents shouldn't have had kids, and disengage because they don't care. I do not believe this is the majority (my friend teach in middle school, but the technique cale from a high school teacher BTW).
To be honest, on these issues, I'm not invested in winning an argument about it. I can see good arguments for why this would be beneficial, and I think they make sense. But I also know there's good arguments for why this would not be, and I can think they make sense too. I want to see both sides represented here, because I think it's interesting, and seeing both sides is good. That's good enough for me.

If in five years (or whatever) no distros use this new tool, it's had zero impact on things, I'll go "damn, tptacek was right," and that's an outcome I am totally fine with.
Microsoft is an American company. Activision-Blizzard is an American company. I get that the UK is an important market but how can their regulators block a deal that possibly most of the rest of the world wants. Who determines that the UK has the power to block this?

Wait, so everyone at work was using the same account? You're making this sound like a rational move, from Netflix.
I'm skeptical of this framing, all told. As someone that interacts with people, it is clear that the vast majority of us do not, in fact, retain most of the information we learn.
How long will it be before it becomes unfair in your view? What if they never open it up and the only way to get access is through YC or knowing the right person.

If you enable Expo/XMP then AMD considers that an overclock (GD-106/GD-112).

https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/gamingdetails

That’s the root of the problem seemingly - going past the official spec (5200 MT/s for 2 sticks, 3600 MT/s for 4 sticks) requires additional voltage to the memory controller and it’s not uncommon for motherboards to automatically punch up the voltages when you turn on XMP or Expo. You requested the board to overclock after all, they’re just helping you get it stable without tinkering! It’s completely legal from the mobo vendor’s perspective to enable more voltage in “auto-OC” scenarios and they are in fact incentivized to do so by the possibility of returns and negative reviews/bad word of mouth. Customers will remember when “it didn’t work on Asus but I just enabled XMP on MSI and it worked fine”, even if that’s because MSI is punching up voltages. They will see that MSI scores 3% better in whatever benchmark. And AMD themselves in fact advertises benchmarks with Expo enabled, despite the fact that it officially voids the warranty. AMD and Intel (both) have gotten away with this for a long time, having their cake on heavily implying/suggesting it be enabled but technically voiding the warranty if you do (although it's quite unenforced unless you openly tell a warranty agent that you did it).

I had a 9900K fail due to simply enabling XMP too, and I’ve seen many reports of early Zen1/Zen+/Zen2 with what seems likely to be IMC failures (they are getting to be "of the age" - 3-5 years with increased VSOC and the memory controllers are just clapped out). DDR4 controllers seem more delicate in general compared to DDR3, and DDR5 requires still higher voltages. It’s almost shocking to hear buildzoid recommend 1.3v VSOC as a “safe” daily driver. AM4 voltages were more like 0.8-1.1v.

It also doesn’t help that the early AM5 IO die seems to be terrible. AMD's memory controllers always been worse than Intel even on AM4, but a lot of AM5 chips won’t even post with 4 sticks even at the pedestrian official spec of 3600 MT/s (intel is 3600 MT/s too but they actually work mostly reliably at it, it's a lottery with Zen4). Zen5 is supposed to feature an improved IO die and I wonder if the VSOC will be lower there too.

PayPal. Well, sorta. You can revoke authorization for a subscription, you can't actually cancel. Some (most?) companies will auto cancel you if they can't bill you.
Google is fundamentally allergic to top-down management. Most googlers will reject any attempt to be told what to do as wrong, because lots of IC's voting with their feet are smarter than any (google) exec at figuring out what to do.

Last time Google got spooked by a competitor was Facebook, and they built Google Plus in response. We all know that was an utter failure. Googlers could escape that one with their egos in tact because winning in "social" is just some UX junk, not hard-core engineering like ML.

It's gonna be super hard for them to come to grips with the fact that they are way behind on something that they should be good at. Plan for lots of cognitive dissonance ahead.
> Taxing tax havens is fine but you shouldn't expect it to limit inflation very much.

Why not? To cite just one obvious effect, it can help fund social services that will inevitably be utilized more when the Government tightens monetary policy to combat inflation.
It's not expensive. It's expensive if you don't spend on good quality public services.
Without the NHS then there would be no economy.
Without social care then people are taken out of the economy to care for relatives.
Without child care then parents can't afford to go back to work.

The main issue is that an every increasing proportion of money spent on services ends up in profits for private companies, and in the administration of that profit and contracts. If money went directly to public sector workers, then the economy would boom.

It's down to 5 bucks. Let's see whether the government is willing to step in this time.
There are services like privacy.com like that have fine grained controls like this.

One thing to remember though is that not paying is not the same as not owing. Most online services will do you the favor of cancelling if you don't pay, but there are definitely businesses that will keep your service going, and refer you to collections.
GPT Project Insight
Hello guys!
I want to present to you an update on my project dedicated to generating documentation.

All previous functions have been preserved. But now the project focuses on working with projects containing a code or text base.

It means that you can not only generate descriptions for your files but use them for working with ChatGPT.

I attach schemes of how it works and some of the examples. It works fantastic, especially with GPT-4.

The repo - https://github.com/Kypaku/gpt-project-insight

How it works:

Example of how much better it can do compared to midjourney, on a complex prompt: https://twitter.com/eb_french/status/1623823175170805760

It is able to put people on the left/right and put the correct t-shirts and facial expressions on each one. This is compared to mj which just mixes together a soup of every word you use and plops it out into the image. Huge MJ fan of course, it's amazing, but having compositional power is another step up.
Two things:

1. Many martial arts consider armed/unarmed just variations of a theme, and practicing unarmed is often safer, and used as "phase 1".

2. A lot of the modern day stuff can be traced back to Japan at a time when the government funded "civilized sports that help you grow", and then the Olympics got involved... we're pretty far distanced from "defend the village" at that point.
Glad to see another deck.gl user!

deck.gl focuses on vector data, whereas WeatherLayers GL adds raster capabilities. Actually, WeatherLayers GL is mostly custom WebGL shaders that could be implemented outside of deck.gl as well. The major reason why deck.gl is used is that it serves as an integration layer for popular map libraries. I've written deck.gl-leaflet [1] plugin myself.

> Despite that positive spin, the utility of the LCS remains hampered by its controversial mission modules, which were originally designed to be switched in and out of the hulls rapidly while in port, before the idea was abandoned, leaving each ship with a single module to be installed. As it stands, only the anti-surface warfare version of these modules is fitted on some of the hulls, with the anti-submarine warfare and mine countermeasures modules not yet available.

For what it’s worth, I taught a series of classes/labs intended to help developers within my former employer’s ecosystem understand OAuth.

What I learned after delivering the content to hundreds of devs over the years: OAuth confuses people, and for completely understandable reasons. Most people think about auth in terms of usernames/passwords or API keys. The mental models associated with these do not transfer to OAuth, and there are enough moving parts with client and server-side interactions that someone not already steeped in the authn/authz space will have some catching up to do.

Forming an understanding of the basic concepts rarely happens in 10 minutes, and if that’s your experience, good on you. Most of us bang our head against the wall for a bit and some of us go on to teach classes about it.

Bottom line: OAuth is hard. That is not the same thing as the general concept being simple.
Maintenance, because now the people who know what they built are gone.
Economically, it’s best to not have children at all and depend on immigration.

You don’t have to waste resources educating people. Someone else does that, and you just pay them a slightly higher wages.

Much cheaper than a well-funded education system.
Concern about climate change is about its effects on us. Most of our great cities are coastal. We thrive in a temperate climate. We are dependent on fisheries and a whole food chain of other Holocene organisms. Having all that change would be incredibly disruptive to us. We’d survive (as a species) all but the most extreme scenarios but our quality of life could take a huge dive and many people could die.

Obviously life will just keep evolving. There have been times in the geological record when there has been little to no polar ice and times of “snowball Earth.” Life existed during all these times but both these extremes would be more hostile to humans than the current epoch.

I can't seem to find an old article written on the early days of OAuth 2.0, praising OAuth 1.0a, because among other things it signed the URI parameters and because unlike OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens, OAuth 1.0a didn't require sending credentials in the clear (this was at a time when HTTPS wasn't quite as ubiquitous, and OAuth 2.0 pretty requires TLS to be used securely).

As someone often working with OAuth 2.0 flows, I enjoyed the article and think that it raises many good points. I'd also say that many of them come from things that affect _any_ system solving a problem similar to OAuth 2.0, because authorisation is hard to get right, or from extensions to the protocol that really aren't OAuth 2.0's fault (like the `realmID` parameter, obviously added to make the life of those API developers easier at the expense of those actually trying to integrate with their systems).

To me though, I wholeheartedly agree with 'Problem 1: The OAuth standard is just too big and complex' and 'Problem 2: Everybody’s OAuth is different in subtle ways'. OAuth 2.0 is more of a framework or metastandard, and no API implementation uses all parts of it because they simply are not relevant to that API or use case. This alone makes it quite hard to 'simply use OAuth' for an integration, because a big part of the job is figuring out which parts are used and in which ways, even if everything is done per the RFCs.

By contrast, OAuth 1.0a was comparatively much simpler and focused on a more narrow problem. OAuth 2.0 allows you to convert a SAML claim from one provider into an OAuth 2.0 token for a different provider to then delegate permissions conditionally to another actor for a particular action on yet another API.

Are we better off with OAuth 2.0? I say yes, because figuring out the differences between providers is probably easier than realising a hundred completely different implementations that have very different ideas of what an authorisation or delegation flow should look like. I think that one can learn to reason about OAuth 2.0 and then apply this logic to integration jobs with slightly less cognitive load than a completely bespoke solution.

At the same time, I think something sorely needed is something like OAuth 2.0 profiles that standardise the features used to integrate with OAuth 2.0. Probably most social media sites have similar requirements, most auth-as-a-service have similar requirements and so on. Having a common subset of features and decisions for common use cases and scenarios would IMO greatly simplify integration tasks and, paired with choosing a good library, make it indeed possible to integrate with a random service in under an hour.

The thing is that some of that was the spirit of older standards like OAuth 1.0a and OpenID (not to be confused with the newer OpenID Connect, which is OAuth 2.0-based), and the world seems to have moved away from that, probably because of the flexibility that OAuth 2.0 affords and the want to tightly control authorisation and external integrations.
