No. Causation is different from correlation. "Associated with" means correlation, "probable cause" means causation. Causation is the stronger statement here.

While technically association is a prerequisite for causation (correlation doesn't imply causation but causation implies correlation) probable "cause" is too strong of a term here because the experiment didn't actually do a causative test. "Possible cause" might be better here because the title heavily implies a causative study was done.

Do note that in science nothing can be proven so in actuality probable cause is really the highest form of verification that can be made. That is the claim in the title.
There are many issues regarding mental health, so speculation is that. Speculation. There is a a correlation that it's the second Google employee to die by sucide. That's not clickbait, just journalism.

We have a crisis in science where the data for too many studies has been doctored. So we must trust in common sense, defend personal freedoms, and reject globalist elitist agendas that promise us easy solutions and impossible utopias.
Hollywood doesn't understand war or war weapons.

Depending on your interpretation of AI, we've been using computers since Dreadnaught class Battleships in WW1, let alone the proximity fused / vacuum tube airburst AA rounds of WW2.

Programming a round to explode exactly when you want it to is basically an AI, easy to use and very effective.

Programmable burst grenade launchers can kill around corners, and is a standard tactic. You'll never see this stuff in a Hollywood movie because it's just brutal killing.

AIs in Hollywood are smart enough to play a Hollywood Villain, but not smart enough to kill the hero of the film.
I can only speak for myself, but the actual phrase “comprised of” is the least interesting thing to discuss when it comes to this topic.

I am fascinated by a single person taking up the cause of “correcting” the language of others based off of their personal linguistic aesthetic preference.

I don’t see many people saying “I often have to stop at the words ‘comprised of’ and reevaluate the meaning of the sentence that I’m reading lest I completely misunderstand it.” This isn’t actually in practical service of clarity, it’s an exercise in preserving a sense of meaningful posterity — a deeply personal and sentimental endeavor despite what “reasons” one is able to elucidate.
"Frontend/backend" is neither new nor pointless. The people who pretend they are are usually backenders who are under the false impression that frontend is simple.
Same in Manhattan! Now we only need to make most of the US as dense as London at least. I don't think it's realistic. (Also, have you tried to afford a place to live in London, to say nothing of Manhattan?)

People "prefer cars" because people prefer detached houses and low-density living. Not all of them, but plenty enough. For them, an EV is the only electric option.

In cities, of course, public transit should predominate, and should be developed and improved, while car presence should become lower and lower.
That only applies in cases of ambiguity at which point it’s often best to avoid both the old and new definitions.
The big issue is that there is not a good way for the hardware to tell that the you are the owner and not an attacker.
UpWork by default has your freelancers install their crappy spyware. That's the main reason I've never used it.

Fiverr trademarked the word "gig".

That eliminates two of them. Luckily there are regional freelancing firms that seem promising.

Yeah it sucks that the space is the way it is...

But I am still optimistic that the blockchain itself carries invaluable utility in the way everything is openly verifiable. And for poor countries it offers a very much needed escape from failed currencies.

For that reason my goal is to rather cherry pick the real, i.e. credible and authentic, people who want to use the blockchain for transaction from this sea of scams.

Maybe my time is waste. But at least I'll learn more from it.
So what if you don't "just put it into a loop and hope" but actually make a complex AI agent with static code analysis capabilities, a graph DB, a work memory etc?

I'm doing just that and it works surprisingly well. Currently it's as good as people with 2-3 years of experience. Do you really believe it's not going to improve?

Now I'm making a virtual webcam so it has a face and you can talk to it on a Zoom meeting...

Yes, all the cheap surplus wind and solar power will be used for many things, also e.g. low-emission production of steel and hydrogen, running heat pumps and even boiling water for hot water reservoirs etc.

Also, this "nuclear breakthrough" concept is likewise complicated by storage:

> It also includes an energy storage system that will allow it to control how much electricity it produces at any given time.

Why do they have to complicate it? Otherwise, they wouldn't have a chance competing with the cheap price of renewables:

> it’s essential for integrating with power grids that use variable sources like solar and wind.

Basically, nuclear plants generate losses when it's sunny or windy, and profits from the dark and calm times won't make up for the losses. (The flexible power consumption will switch off rather than pay the higher nuclear power prices.)
There is likely a way to do that in a secure way. Such as the firmware providing a menu that lets you configure different things.
Why don't they just implement a display name system first and grandfather in existing IDs? If you're going to hide the ID most of the time anyway the legacy format doesn't have to be eliminated.

>Its very tiring that there is always someone here telling us how inexpensive PV and wind are compared to other generation. Which is true per watt, until you try to assure that watt is actually available when its needed.

It's 5x cheaper per watt. That goes up to 1.5-3x cheaper once you add "when needed".

OP already mentioned that it is cheaper with storage. You ignored them.

>Particularly because the costs associated with making a watt of wind/PV reliable easily adds an order of magnitude in costs

An order of magnitude is absurd.
No one pushed a deadline for transition from horses to ICE car though. It just happened over time at its own pace. People bought cars when they could afford it and there was infrastructure to support them.
> Microservices are nothing to do with scalability. They are about how you organise code and teams to achieve better development velocity.

I don't think this is strictly true; even though microservices are usually used that way.

Scaling up everything even when not needed has it difficulties. You can have lots of unnecessary initialisation tasks, lots of unused caches warmed up, database and socket connections that are not needed, complexities in work sharing algorithms etc.
Predicting SpaceX’s 2023 Revenue
I think before I read this book I believed that rationality ruled everything and that if I had the best ideas or the most authority I would be the most successful employee.

What this book taught me is that everything is about relationships. The quicker you can develop a rapport or the better you can get on with people the more effective you will be. I think it also helps you understand that 99% of people don't set out to be arseholes. In their mind they're the good guy. I think if you remember that and can work out why they think that it will help you understand another person's motivation and be better able to collaborate with them.

> Problems with Dual_EC_DRBG were first described in early 2006. The math is complicated, but the general point is that the random numbers it produces have a small bias. The problem isn’t large enough to make the algorithm unusable.

> But today there’s an even bigger stink brewing around Dual_EC_DRBG. In an informal presentation (http://rump2007.cr.yp.to/15-shumow.pdf) at the CRYPTO 2007 conference in August, Dan Shumow and Niels Ferguson showed that the algorithm contains a weakness that can only be described as a backdoor.

> What Shumow and Ferguson showed is that these numbers have a relationship with a second, secret set of numbers that can act as a kind of skeleton key. If you know the secret numbers, you can predict the output of the random-number generator after collecting just 32 bytes of its output. To put that in real terms, you only need to monitor one TLS internet encryption connection in order to crack the security of that protocol. If you know the secret numbers, you can completely break any instantiation of Dual_EC_DRBG.

You're right that it's a blog post regarding the work of others, but even Dan and Niels' simplified presentation is well beyond what a layman can grasp.

Not knowing security, Schneier's post brought it down to a level where it didn't go over my head completely.
Actually why not just go with emails. They are somewhat durable enough, globally unique. And easy to remember and find.

> The UI is a little different: integers don’t have many different parts the way floating point numbers do

Depends, they could if the site gave access to common varint formats for instance.

Also can't help but think it's the wrong way around? I feel like when you play with byte order you want to see how the bits change for a given number, rather than the number for the same bits. Though I guess both are valuable, depends on your use case (whether you have a bit pattern and try to understand what it is, or have a number and try to see how it would encode).

Exploring signed representations could also be useful.
12-24 hours of molten salt storage should be enough to generate power all day, and sell it at times when electricity is most expensive. There's not much point storing for multiple days, when the reactor itself behaves like long-duration storage.

If your reactor is producing energy with no buyers, and your thermal storage is full, then you probably should've built it somewhere else, but in that case you can just power down the reactor.

> I mean if you paid people they might

In the US, at least, foster parents do get paid. A few hundred dollars per month, per child. Some of these foster parents have very large households, and effectively make being a foster parent their job. Some of these foster parents really care about the kids, others see the kids as a paycheck.

Edit to add: If you get more votes for taking on more kids, then politicians will be incentivized to provide more benefits for those with more kids, in order to win their votes. So, regardless of the situation originally, eventually you will have a society in which people are getting paid to have more kids.
I'm not sure that the "two cultures" split aligns with continuous vs. discrete maths. There's theory-building in continuous mathematics (abstract spaces, e.g. topological, metric, Banach, ... spaces) and in discrete mathematics (theory of finite fields), whereas both areas also have computational / problem-solving aspects (proving specific inequalities in the continuous case, or proving theorems about particular kinds of graphs in the discrete case).
It's both! It's an art project that works very well, which is the best kind of art project.
It's a fallacy to think (or deflection to claim) that errors could corrupt the system when even without errors, the system is inherently corrupt and riddled with antidemocratic rules. Think gerrymandering, the fact that election day in the US isn't a national holiday, Citizens United, the joke that has become the Supreme Court, the list goes on and on. US democracy is a farce.
I'm not sure I understand how this cheating compact was supposed to work; didn't the conspiring students need to control who was the first student, or the student selected to pull keys from the hat?
Not really the main point of my comment, but okay.

Firstly, mapping symbols to sound is arbitrary and based on convention.

I don't speak French, but I wouldn't say français.e.s is that much worse than français(e)s, pronunciation-wise. But I do agree that -.e.s is a bit odd. Kinda like w/ and w/o in English. I mean, seriously, why isn't it w. and w.o. like any other abbreviation.
Or they'll assume you're a native speaker familiar with a given dialect or specific idioms. Dropping "ne" is common in spoken French many places to the point that to many speakers you'll sound stilted and/or old if you included it - the first time I was told (as a teenager) I sounded "old" for using ne..pas was around 30 years ago.

The son in the family I stayed with on on a school trip back then found it hilarious how often I used "ne ... pas" instead of just "pas", e.g. "c'est pas grave" [1] rather than "ce n'est pas grave".

[1] Here's a song titled "c'est pas grave" by French group Columbine:

I think they would both be massive discoveries that would shake things up. If it used DNA/RNA it's almost certainly from the same tree of life as us, validating the panspermia theory. If it didn't then we'd get to see a completely novel chemistry of life, although still water based.
Doesn’t every company do this?

Netflix and Hulu have LGBT categories that they show (and oddly seem to feature at login as top category a few times a year, in addition to pride month). I assume they are tailoring that to my viewing habits.

And I would be shocked if they don’t track users who spend more time browsing and watching that category just like every other category.

Know Netflix, they will ignore my preferences and show whatever thing they produced. But Hulu does seem to pay attention to what I watch and rate and shows me things that I mostly enjoy. Netflix is kind of surreal as they seem to ignore all my habits and ratings.
Absolutely. If there is even just one Discord employee reading this : dont ffing do this. This is some hallucination that things will be more in line with other social outlets.

That example of Maybe.co and their pivot was illustrative of form over function.

However, I can’t see how their new approach will be successful either: https://twitter.com/Shpigford/status/1645422615279050758

Why won’t existing companies that already have the users and existing connections fast follow anything the startup does? They are competing head on with billion dollar companies and adding a chat interface and video conferencing as the differentiation.

They have to do all the hard parts to onboard users, convince them to connect with their financial institutions, establish trust with financial recommendations, build a two sided marketplace with financial advisors, yet Mint or wealth front or many other companies could spend six months and have a better product out in the market with an established user base and way of making money.

Why are investors excited by this pivot?

> it does seem to me that we have decided on a date for the solution (EVs) without high confidence that the dependencies (generation) will actually be ready by that date.

I thought commingling classification/user clearance levels on the same hardware fell out of favor a while ago, because of side channels (with speculative execution being the final nail in the coffin.)

Isn't seL4 more used for things like data diodes, cryptographic equipment and military hardware? Stuff that you need to keep from getting hacked or malfunctioning, but not time-shared with untrusted users.
As someone who very, very casually uses Discord, I’ve always found the naming system confusing. I don’t use it enough to care to memorize my code, and I’m dissuaded from using it because I know I’ll have to face the confusing process of finding my full name that they assigned to me (rather than the handle I use on every other network and is basically my second name). I groan when someone wants me to use Discord, and the naming system is definitely part of that.

That said, I was still really surprised to get the pop-up that they’re moving to this new system, mostly because of the obvious friction they’re creating for all of their existing users.

My intuition is that this is a move to attract users like me, at the risk of alienating some power users or the users who won’t be bothered to figure out the name change system. Can’t tell you whether it’ll work for them, but I can say that I’ll personally be slightly more likely to use the product.
Do you think open source AI could also pose a risk to humanity and if so, how does it compare to the risks of malicious corporations or governments? It seems like open source AI has been accelerating rapidly and gaining tremendous steam and could potentially surpass or maybe just keep parity with corporations that constantly ingest open source innovations. Whatever open source produces could just be ingested by those bad corporations and governments. It seems like it would be pretty hard to regulate either private or open source AI at this point and it kind of seems like it could be an unstoppable runaway train. If AGI is controllable, maybe open source at the forefront would allow us to get to a mutually assured destruction like state where all governments are at parity.
Craigslist is an example of the strength of network effects. It’s succeeding despite its user hostile design because it has no incentive to change.

I expect that was meant to be "pathogenic" (unless you wanted to hurt the feelings of those rotten bacteria). And yes, it's not a complete reset, just a big reshuffle, so it's certainly a good idea to eat lots of fiber and fermented foods during and after a course of antibiotics to try and re-establish a healthier gut microbiome.
That, and using linear slider fraction of max volume are some of the biggest pet peeves for me.
If you don't want any data connection, then—by definition—you must reject any sort of grid-interactive charging features of any kind. Baby, meet bathwater!

Fortunately the vast majority of regular users (eg bengale with their Intelligent Octopus device) aren't bothered by it. They'll happily save money on EV charging and improve grid stability at the same time.

> I don't understand why that sort of access would need to be included in the car instead of the charger

I didn't say it needs to be included. However if you already have a fleet of connected EVs (eg Tesla), you could instantly roll out this feature overnight without any additional hardware investment.... (hint hint...)
Cool. Neat tool idea.
