I always had high hopes (pardon the pun) that cannabis decriminalization would look similar to homebrew beer culture and we might see a horticulture boom. Many states sadly only took steps to create a states monopoly on the distribution of this narcotic with no real reforms to criminalization of cultivation.

Californias experiment with decriminalization was after five years revealed for its true intent: unchecked greed at the hand of a 70% tax rate.

$15B combined since legalisation started; and revenues are dipping.

For reference; Alcohol generates roughly $10B per year (https://www.statista.com/statistics/248952/revenues-from-alc...). Tobacco as well (https://www.statista.com/statistics/248964/revenues-from-tob...)

I was not able to find reputable sources for Cannabis; the numbers in the article are coming from "Marijuana Policy Project", which makes them highly suspicious since the stated goal of the organisation is: (form their own website): "The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is the number one organization in the U.S. dedicated to legalizing cannabis". So they would likely use any calculations methods that would paint cannabis in a good way.

In mathematics, you can define things in different ways to get different answers. Ways of defining things tend to be highlighted as true (in at least some context) if they are interesting and useful, and ignored if not. I don't think the definition based on "dividing into pairs" is particularly interesting or useful in the context of the child's understanding of numbers, because it's too vague to be useful, and it doesn't lead to any insights.

The definition based on transfinite ordinals explained in the same answer does seem interesting, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were useful. I think this is a case of simplification gone wrong, where everything interesting was lost in the translation to more accessible terminology.

A more honest thing to say to a child would be that the way even and odd are defined only make sense for finite numbers. It's true for the definition they know, and it introduces them to the important insight that logical rules that are created for one kind of thing might not work when applied to something else. I think this would be more accessible and stimulating for a six-year-old than giving them a half-baked verbal imitation of a result from transfinite mathematics.

They'll be thrilled later if they study math and discover that there are definitions of "infinity" and "even" that yield an answer to their childhood question.

I see it the same way. These companies are just building moat by using concerns as excuse.
There is subtlety in selecting that "small number". 0.000000001 may look like a "small number", but if you're doing calculations in the 1e-20 range, suddenly it isn't small anymore. Small is relative to the task at hand. Simple uses of floats in known situations can get away with a hard-coded epsilon constant, and it may not even much matter what the number is, but as your usage becomes more sophisticated and more important, proper selection of epsilon values becomes non-trivial.

Mine and I want a TPM, it's a device essential for modern laptop security.

_Even if you would be able to control every bit of firmware on your computer and there was no DRM or similar you still would want a TPM!_

through potential a different implementation and not some of the features build on top of it

like something like a TKey integrated into your CPU with some additions for securing the boot chain (including the EFI itself) would probably be a convenient, simple, way to have the necessary security without many of the problems ... or did I just reinvent TPM ?
That's not a strong counterargument because people use laptop chargers for hours at a time many days of every week, compared to rubbing balloons against their hair maybe ten minutes total spread out over a lifetime.
If the intention is to expose young people to porn and then measure longitudinally how they fare in life, ethical issues aside, I suspect that wouldn't work because your control group is very likely to become contaminated. And good luck getting the experiment underwritten.

Rather I think you'd take a large sample of adults at a given age range, interview them as to the earliest age they recall consuming pornography, and compare it with their life outcomes: income, alcohol addiction, educational achievement, etc. Of course you're only measuring a correlation, but at least you'll be able to get your study funded. And naturally such studies have been done, although I suspect many are agenda driven:

I'm quite fond of both: cannabis affects some people differently than others, nicotine is much more consistent in effect. Even without the modern miracles of homogenization and mass processing that tobacco gets.

The medical establishment doesn't like to talk about individual variability much, tho: people tend to start asking how effective the mass market prescription drugs are for them instead of accepting the bland reassurances that all bodies are the same.
The problem with transfinite is that you lose commutatively.

Flowing the standard notation, where the usual infinite in the integer or the real line is "ω = ∞ = 1,2,3,..."

ω+1 = ω+1 , i.e. "the next thing after infinity"

1+ω = ω , i.e. "the same infinity as before"

2ω = ω , i.e. "the same infinity as before", so it's even

1+2ω = ω , i.e. "the same infinity as before", so it looks odd, but don't fall in that trap

ω2 = ω2 , i.e. "two infinities chained together", that is weird

Two more weird example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_ordinals

> Unlike the case of even integers, one cannot go on to characterize even ordinals as ordinal numbers of the form β2 = β + β. Ordinal multiplication is not commutative, so in general 2β ≠ β2. In fact, the even ordinal ω + 4 cannot be expressed as β + β, and the ordinal number

> (ω + 3)2 = (ω + 3) + (ω + 3) = ω + (3 + ω) + 3 = ω + ω + 3 = ω2 + 3

> is not even.

For a six year old, I'd tell that infinite is not a number so it's not even or odd. If s/he even get's a Ph.D. in math, s/he will understand.

Moreover, I remember when I was a graduate T.A. that one day before lunch I went to a class to learn about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandroff_extension in the morning. (The idea is that you add one ∞ to a set of numbers to get a compact set. And in the new set ∞ is (almost) a number as good as the other numbers.) After lunch, I went to teach limits to first years students, and with a total straight face I told them that ∞ is not a number.

There was some small chance of the rocket blowing up on the launchpad that was accounted for. There was a near 100% chance of the launchpad not being able to handle the launch, sending chunks of it and the dirt underneath everywhere, just to hit a launch date of 4/20 that was not accounted for.

He says he can clear out the existing launchpad and install the working one in a matter of weeks. Then the question is why he didn't do that prior to this launch. We can only speculate that if it hadn't caused a mess, he'd be making 4/20 jokes, and that is why.

I live in a rural area where, as you can expect, traffic is very light. It was an absolute godsend when all the turn arrows changed from red/green to red/green/yield on flashing yellow. The frustration of sitting at a red turn signal when you could see that there was no oncoming traffic for a mile down the road was palpable, but cops are very good at hiding.
I guess I am dark matter dev. I comment on HN but nowhere else really.

I enjoy programming and have solo build systems that run businesses. However, there is so much stuff that interests me outside of programming that I don't care to commit time for projects that may never bring any value to my life.

I'm also sick of the internet machine and all the hype about some tech. I got burned by picking up something new after hearing about it on social media. Many times the YouTube tutorials are so basic that as soon as you start implementing that tech you discover bugs, lack of docs.

All new tech sucks when you are trying to "get stuff done". I had discovered bugs in books and was literally stuck for days trying to figure out how to resolve them and SO would return no solutions.
I agree with what you say, but do not think it is true for humans. I think this may be true for thinking machines like ChatGPT which do not think, do not observe, unless we give it something to think about. E.g. the thinking machine is just a program which runs its program with our input. In the future, seeing machines will not see unless we give it something to look at.

Perhaps you are right, it is we who create time to observe.

An anecdote, but it's really difficult to search for information on git. Pretty much everything I find is specific to GitHub. Though that might be a problem with me still using Google to try to find information.
Wow, this is much worse than I assumed:

> In fact, we were able to circumvent the issue just by changing the name of the Chrome app on a Windows desktop. It seems that Microsoft threw up the roadblock specifically for Chrome, the main competitor to its Edge browser.

From the beginning of the article, I was led to believe Microsoft had changed an API around checking/setting the default browser to show Microsoft's dialog instead. Which doesn't seem great to change an API without warning, but maybe you can make an argument that it ensures a "neutral" choice rather than apps pushing the choice on users.

But this shows it's specifically against Chrome. Regardless of whether it's legal or not, it's unforgivably anti-competitive behavior. It's a truly shameful tactic.
Merges are hard and I’ve never seen a system that removes the difficulty. I actually think git is the best because it’s easier to branch and update than many others (a pull takes a second to refresh vs quite a while for large repos with svn).

I was using ClearCase for a few years and they had a really nice visual merge tool, but the complexity of the merge was great because they were so infrequent. I made a mistake and let someone find out I could merge and ended up getting sucked into these quarterly multi-day merge sessions that made me feel like a guild navigator stressing about breaking one of thousands of changes from 50 people over 90 days.

Why is an income requirement even needed? If a visa holder got an at-will job at Tech Company A and that visa were fully portable, then the visa holder could look for a better offer from Company B on an equal footing with everyone else, which seems like it would naturally drive their salary toward parity.

And this would also dramatically decrease the incentive for the employers to game the system, as H-1B visas would no longer be a source of cheap skilled labor.

(I personally know visa holders who were dramatically underpaid by tech companies and who did not feel like they could shop around.)
I mean, they haven't. What does open mean to you? It isn't OpensourceAI.

OpenAI have made ChatGPT freely available. They have opened up use of their models to regular people and developers. They have the most powerful LLM and it's open to use by anyone.

In addition, they work in the open. They accept the criticisms and continue to work in the open.

Also, FWIW, if they did a 360º on openness, they'd be going in the same direction. I think you mean 180º.
Wow that's nuts - I did not know that.
Agreed. Good on OpenAI.
Except that you skip over the whole "Media contains certain content -> viewing this content leads to bad behaviour -> said media should be banned" argument as being valid, which is not. You have to demonstrate the causal link between the first two.

Also, your subsequent argument is flawed. For the vast majority of popular porn, an actress in a scene where she is "abused" is doing so consensually. Part of having healthy romantic relationships in life is being able to navigate the aspect of consent. For example, a girl may have different standards for sexual intercourse when it comes to having a one night stand, where she may engage in kink or a fetish, versus a long term relationship where she may not want to do that. If you are unable to contextualize this, this means that your parents did a poor job of educating you about sexuality, which further reinforces my argument.

This absolutely does not equate to ISIS beheading videos, where the people being beheaded are most likely not consenting to it.
It's nearly impossible to disprove Trebek's claim that she had appeared on other game shows under different names. There were tons of shows. The tapes are surely mostly lost, and metadata like contestants' names wouldn't help.

Why else would Jeopardy have memory-holed her? The prize money is trivial compared to the other production costs. The game show industry was still coming out of the shadows of the cheating scandals, so their every incentive was to keep things on the up-and-up.

I also find her explanations unconvincing. Like really, the judge told you in chambers to take half the money because juries like Alex Trebek? That's just not how judges handle cases.
