In principle I agree, but it also works the other way round: people get convicted for crimes they did not commit due to unreasonable and unsound reasoning. The fact that things like the Innocence Project exist is by itself already a huge red flag.

On balance, I'm not sure if it's biased towards letting people go free. It might be interesting to compare e.g. the UK with some European countries (in the US the justice system is too bananas on several levels).

Do you think the mortgage originators working on commission trying to push deals through are able to assess if waving an appraisal reckless or not? Why even have appraisals?
Oh of course, and there's nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is articles spinning anti-competitive scammy behavior, as "Microsoft is good now."
Are you using "intercity" literally, as in "between cities"?
Intercity (IC) is a specific type of train in Germany, which (aside from some edge cases) you can't use with the 49€ ticket. I think you're thinking of the REs (RE is short for Regionalexpress), those go between cities too, but make more stops in smaller towns etc, and those are included in the ticket.
> Even strong and entrenched players like Palm, Nokia (with Tizen) and even BlackBerry could not hold.

What do you mean Nokia with Tizen? Tizen was Samsung's attempt at continuing with Linux after Nokia abandoned MeeGo.

Nokia was the massive smartphone market leader with Symbian, but was a hardware company at heart and couldn't keep up with Android which ate its lunch by giving all the competitors a free, competitive operating system.

Before Android came along the competition didn't really have much choice as they were even worse at software than Nokia was. Who knows, without Android the landscape might still today be Nokia & Apple sharing the market -- or maybe Windows Phone would've managed to become the second system.
So we’re talking about democratizing production yeah?

Imagine I’m a schmuck who can croon into a microphone. It’s just me. I have a dayjob because this is a hobby.

“Just a quick 2 months of work” is a total nonstarter. I’ll just keep crooning in the shower

“Just 2 months, it’s not a lot” is like telling someone “Oh cleaning the house is easy, just ask your maid”
It's not entirely the economic system, other than women no having careers after giving birth. It's more the social system, and the fact that younger women don't want to seem to want to play anymore. Educated women pretty much anywhere in the world tend to have fewer children, fewer still if the economic costs and penalties increase. The government has to decide that children are desired, the social compact has to be rewritten to improve the position of women (from broodmare/housemother to coequal partner) and then the country needs a bit of good luck. There's still 10's of millions of them there, so they have time to piddle about "deciding and choosing" what to do.

Perhaps this is a good example of the downside of social nationalism in a world that intercommunicates so quickly and so effectively?
Plain HTML and CSS are tedious.

Combine that with the fact that loops and objects don’t have fantastic support, if any, and it’s no wonder everyone and their mother has tried their hand at a templating framework. (WebComponents exist, but fall into a lot of the same traps; I didn’t like what I saw in the MDN tutorial.)
> Then, the jury deliberated and I lost a ton of respect for the ability of a jury of my peers to logically reason and responsibly decide.

Isn't this a consequence of jury vetting on the part of the attorneys? i.e. the defense does not want logical/rational thinkers on the jury if they have a bad case (know the defendant committed the crime, lots of evidence against defendant, etc). In those cases they want people who think with emotions and who can be emotionally swayed. So really both sides (prosecution and defense) will play games to try to bias the jury in their favor, whether that means adding or subtracting STEM types from the jury.
Virtually no hedging happens between natural buyers and sellers precisely because they approach the market at different times, and don’t have the in-house pricing expertise to discern good and bad bids and offers ex ante. This is why, absent financial participants, the natural participants get hosed. (And why they use financial markets versus direct purchases and sales.)

Again, these aren’t theoretical considerations, we’ve always had naïve Puritanical elements seeking to ban speculation, and in some assets and jurisdictions they have succeeded. Reducing market participation has never worked.
There is the cynical answer, but there's also the fact that the US equipment is actually pretty damn good and can be delivered in large quantities, though it it usually more expensive. You also have to consider alliances, if you buy equipment from country X then that country will be able to provide spares/ammunition/trained personnel if shit hits the fan. And the US is not blocking allied countries from purchasing equipment elsewhere or from developing their own industries. In fact it is usually angry at countries like Germany for not pulling their weight in domestic production.

Military sales are more politics than business. The French behave much like the US, they'll buy foreign kit only as a very last resort. It is a strategic decision that a country has to make based on manufacturing capabilities, ability to generate orders (domestic and foreign) and the planned purpose for their military forces.
Oh I see! That makes sense, but is also quite dangerous: caching issues tend to result in fascinating effects around powers of two. I once benchmarked a fairly naive matrix multiplication algorithm on almost every size between 1 and 2100, and the powers of 2, especially 2048, had the most amazing non-monotonic effects around and on them. Even sizes also strongly differed from odd sizes.

Now for binary search that effect will be smaller, but still, at powers of two you might more quickly get that consecutive probes have the same remainder modulo the number of cache sets, meaning they get put in the same cache set and hence conflict much harder than one might expect.

All that to say: more samples, in between the ones you already have, would be quite nice. Especially on random input sizes (but _also_ on round numbers!), just to rule out any of the above-mentioned shenanigans. (I particularly suspect the large 2^28 sample as perhaps falling prey to this, but perhaps not.)

> bloated websites.

Bingo. If anything, the best thing you could do for security and performance on your computer would be to get pretty strict about ad blocking. I am not even concerned at all about the “privacy” aspect that obsess some people (“OH NO, I start to get car ads when I’ve been shopping for cars, creepy big brother!!!”), I just push back really hard on the state we are in where when you load a webpage of any kind today. About 0.5% of the CPU cycles, RAM, and bandwidth are being used to render the contact you’re there for, 20% to parse 187 npm packages that the front end developers decided they needed to load at all times, and the remaining 79.5% is used for various forms of adtech. Like, how do I need 72 MB of code to display a single article from CNN or something?

I agree that it’s very possible that you don’t really need any kind of native virus scanning software especially if you don’t click links from random strangers or hang out on seedy parts of the web likely to have 0-day exploits on them (and you’re blocking ads too, since it’s not unheard of for that actors to buy us to direct traffic to their 0-day exploits)

I don't think handmaiden’s tale was a moral society. Hanging women on walls and raping them doesn't seem very moral. Oppression through purity propaganda more descriptive. A moral society wouldn't be oppressive and murderous.
In times past I would have fervently agreed with you.

But in this day and age of browsers being Chrome and Chrome and Chrome and Chrome and Safari, all with forced autoupdates, there's little practical weight behind "browser <X> doesn't support it!". If Chrome supports it, the internet supports it whether any of us like it or not.
Got it! EVA is designed for the local use case. You can define a Python function that wraps around the LLM model and use it anywhere in the query (we refer to such functions as user-defined functions or UDFs).

This notebook illustrates a UDF that wraps around a custom PyTorch vision model:
https://evadb.readthedocs.io/en/stable/source/tutorials/04-c...

These functions can be written quickly (~50 lines of Python code). Here is the built-in Resnet50 UDF in EVA:

> Relationship of Murder Victims to Alleged Offenders, 2021

> Of the estimated 4,970 female victims of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in 2021, data reported by law enforcement agencies indicate that one-third (34%) were killed by an intimate partner (figure 1). By comparison, about 6% of the 17,970 males murdered that year were victims of intimate partner homicide.

> Overall, three-quarters (76%) of female murders and more than half (56%) of male murders were perpetrated by someone known to the victim. About 16% of female murder victims were killed by a nonintimate family member—parent, grandparent, sibling, in-law, and other family member—compared to 10% of male murder victims.

> A larger percentage of males (21%) than females (12%) were murdered by a stranger. For 1 out of every 3 male murder victims and 1 out of every 5 female murder victims, the relationship between the victim and the offender was unknown.
Hilarious! And an almost literal paraphrase of something a friend of mine says routinely.

That Van Jacobson talk got uproarious laughter from the audience at the end, as one might predict { surely VJ had an inkling... ;-) }. It's a way to do a long story and a punchline/zinger without anthropomorphically flipping the script "selfish-gene" style.

FWIW, I think Harari knows this is "his brand" and might avoid "off brand" articles, much as much as Christopher Nolan probably thinks doing a simple, linear movie would be off brand for him. (Or they both could just love their developed styles. It is oft overlooked, but in the world of humans "all of the above" is often a better answer than any single explanation.)

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment and your behavior. I'm grateful for everyone of us out there working with strong moral boundaries. Thank you!

I also disagree with your perspective on corporations. To me they seem very much alive - in a less recognisable form, more complex than we can grasp with human minds.

I argue mainly because I'd like to keep the term as something free of judgment. A group of people that comes together as a larger body or organism can be quite beautiful too.

so you believe that the close to 50% of factory output that doesn't pass QA gets destroyed or fixed by a company in China, instead of selling it on ebay? oh my sweet summer child..

yes, it gets sold on the Chinese market as well. but we're talking about someone in the west buying the same component from China on ebay, that they would buy at a store in the west. It's the same component - it's just one that didn't pass QA to make it to the store here.

Yes, the "company" selling these products is committing fraud. welcome to china.

I am an orchestra musician. Having perfect pitch was only trouble, despite playing in good orchestras at the time.

In the end of Ein Heldenleben the orchestra will not be the same pitch it started and, and for you to be in tune you will have to play notes that will be more than a quarter tone too high compared to what you think is correct.

I found it awful. The only orchestras I have played in that stayed in tune was the Swedish radio orchestra and the Munich Phil. But a major third is 13 cent low there as well.

And regarding most other things: I would have loved to have it during solfege exams. That is about it. The trouble it gave me when doing the work I studied to do it got in the way.

Most colleges I went to had special classes for students with perfect pitch as they were taught different strategies. In my final exam in "Gehörbildung" the two top scoring students did not have perfect pitch.

The thing about the whole flat-earth rabbit hole that's always logically confused me is the epistemology problem.

F.ex., I get how someone could disbelieve the current physics of motion. But then how do things move? It can't all just be dice rolls and unexplained magic.

Assuming the denser batteries have the same amount of lithium per kg, I don't see how we'll see a halving of lithium demand. That would only be possible under the incorrect assumption that battery demand is static.

That's already not true with current technology as EVs are gaining market shares rapidly, but also the new technology will be opening new usages, so it will opening new markets, further driving the demand.

But I also have no idea about its chemistry!
FBI: Common Scams and Crimes

My guess is that it’s a secondary consequence of the initial 2020-2021 wave of media theft-apologia, increasing liability for police, and defunding/prosecution-abstention: now it’s the copycat problem writ large due to social media. People seeing visceral videos and group chats of crowds, gangs, and individuals doing blatant petty and violent crimes in a few places (and oftentimes getting away with it) is probably emboldening would-be criminals to copy techniques they think would work in other places. I think the rise in mass shootings is another result of the social media copycat effect.

I think there are roughly three eras of the commercial Internet's culture now, and we're entering the fourth:

Through ~2001: Pre-broadband - early web, dot-coms. Everyone got email. If they were more adventurous, they made a home page, got on IRC or Usenet. This era inherited the "US college student with campus internet access" dynamic that dominated the earliest years of the Internet. "The Internet is for porn" etc. There's a lot of overlap between this era and the next one because broadband added so many capabilities that it was like two sibling versions of internet, akin to 8-bit vs 16-bit personal computing.

2001-2008: Web forums, instant messengers, early Web 2.0. A much broader set of people came online and were courted by the new platforms. This was both a broadening and an erasure of any prior history or culture - the "toxic gamer" archetype, the start of influencer trends in various categories(photos, fitness, tech products...), etc. But commerce and community was broadly mediated through "your own web site" rather than platforms.

2008-2020: Post-iPhone smartphones, dominance of centralized internet platforms and algorithmic news feeds. Now the Internet's culture really was accessed by "everyone" and this became clear by around 2012 as more and more social media-driven movements swept through the world. Status-seeking behavior online became very conspicuous, with a ton of activity, styles of messaging, etc molded to juice algorithmic KPIs.

2020 marks the line where we went to full Internet dependence. And... it's also roughly when ordinary people started expressing more agency over how their news feeds should work, and when the really rapid generative AI breakthroughs started. So all at once the blind status seeking of the smartphone era is breaking down, and the new challenges involve finding appropriate sources of truth and filters in an ocean of spam content.

Problems with this advice:

::looping over a file

The "loop over the contents of a file" entry does not protect stdin.

Use an alternate descriptor.

while read -r line <&9
do printf '%s\n' "$line"
done 9< "$file"

Particularly problematic is ssh, that will pass $line to any remote command that is able to consume it.

The looped commands will receive stdin of the loop when an alternate descriptor is used. I use 9 by habit after reading the flock manual page many years ago.

::EXIT trap

dash will only call the EXIT trap on a normal exit. Add INT (and any other signal that you want from "kill -l") if you also want to catch abnormal terminations.

Windows busybox sh/bash only catches regular exits, no matter what else you add.

Oh, you asked why the sign was in the photo as though you thought it wasn't associated with the story in any way. It gives a little background context for the type of Catholic church whose pastor was interviewed. I don't know if you've spent much time in various Catholic congregations, but the sentiment that racism is bad is not echoed in a disturbing number of them. It's unfortunate that you are offended at the sign being used as a framing piece for the article.
