Some certainly do, but I think it's important to separate two "pro" arguments as despite arriving at similar conclusion, they're quite different in reasoning:

1. Prostitution is liberating and empowering

2. Women should be able to choose what they do with their own bodies, even if it means prostituting them

For those truly arguing item 1, I couldn't say. That conclusion is certainly not self-evident to me and the chain of logic seems to include at some point something that is supposed to self-evident.

However some of the feminists that appear to argue item 1 are actually arguing item 2 but they're jumping to the conclusion.
Takes like this is what let's it keep getting worse.

I have zero issue with one time costs. I have a huge problem with programs that will never go away and cost a fortune forever. Both parties have to be held accountable but the general public also needs to be able to separate the 2 types of expenses.

Military expenses, for example, can be cut back at any time. Handout programs become a dependence and will never be removed once implemented, no matter how poorly they're executed.
The article has a fundamental flaw, much like those who confuse copyright and trademark: intelligence is the algorithm; knowledge is the data set.
Most asphalt damage comes from water getting under it and freezing. That shouldn't be a problem in a tunnel. But I'd assume they would use a concrete surface in any case.
To add on to what everyone else said. Effective automation usually does the job in a different way than a human.

Automated burger cooking doesn't put a burger on a grill/griddle and flip it when it looks good, it cooks it from both sides at once on a conveyor with human set timing. Sewing machines have a different method than hand sewing. Printers don't generally move a pen across paper, they make a series of dots in a line (old school plotters are an exception, but modern plotters are inkjet dots in a line). Dishwashers don't scrub dishes, they just shoot recurculated hot, soapy water everywhere.

Methods that would be tedious or difficult or unsafe for humans can be simple for machines, and following human methods would be difficult, imprecise, and costly.

A factory environment can usually be arranged with belts or tracks to avoid carrying, and with surfaces suitable for wheels rather than requiring legs.

I encourage anyone who feels this way to spoil your ballot paper. This sends a different signal than not voting: if there were lots of spoilt ballot papers this would be received differently to low turnout.
Radar Phase Measurements
How about instead of doing stupid games where we pretend the people who have been dead for 100 years represent today because of some mystical bullshit associating team membership with values, we look at the positions of the politicians alive and active today, and what they do and vote accordingly.

Republican and Democrat are not spiritual entities, they are not some team or lord you pledge undying allegiance to, they are a group of politicians who share large parts of their agenda.

I know its fun to pretend that you're on a team, and that simplifying everyting to "my team vs other team" makes small minded idiots feel like they understand something for a change. Please don't encourage them though, it doesn't help anything. Engage with issues and have your opinion, don't take positions because of team affiliation, take them because you think that's the right position anything else is lazy, willful igornance.

Reviving Project Orion would be more fun!

And for sure, the 150,000 pound weight of this "Stargrazer" vs the 11 Million pounds of SpaceX's starship certainly reduces it's blast radius!

I didn't say it'd be great, just that SpaceX more likely to be first (and no, I'm not a fan of Elon, used to think he was doing great things, but he's obviously decided that supporting autocrats & trolls is more important).

The 20,000 RPM rotating detonation engine doesn't seem exactly quiet, so they'll likely need regular jets in addition to the rotating detonation engine and rockets; not exactly simple.

Meanwhile, SpaceX could solve lots of those problems by landing further away from the cities, which will negate much of the fast-trip advantage, and so leave a good market opening for 'Stargazer'.

If both work, I'd probably rather go with Stargrazer, but I still expect SpaceX will be first (unless it goes the same way as the sub-5-minute battery-pack-swap feature on the Teslas...)

Colorado used to be (maybe still is) known for the high percentage of "gun toting liberals". There has been a big focus on technology to drive growth along the front range, so many of the people moving in to the state did so to chase jobs that required higher education levels.
Isn't this frustrating? Employees of course have the bare the brunt, but god forbid its shareholders and executives that need to scale down their payouts.

And yes I know its "stock performance" but what do you think drives this? With executive compensation mostly related to stocks, of course at the end of the day, thats what they want to drive up.

It's striated, but the Denver metro more or less outweighs the rest of the state, and it hasn't been gerrymandered to shit. For instance, Lauren Boebert is also from Colorado, just not from Denver.

But on top of that, a good chunk of the republicans are honest to god libertarians and can be reasoned with (though that doesn't always include those they elect, like Boebert).
You shouldn't be allowed to opt others in, especially those under the age of legally informed consent, to brainwashing.
> ...why did you not bring your laptop to your tech interview lol

I have several reasons for not bringing my personal hardware to a corporate interview, and a couple about the specific situation as described:

* I wouldn't travel with my laptop to an on-site that was described as a meet-and-greet.

* The recruiter promised suitable hardware would be available at the surprise technical on-site interview: "Despite my lack of a laptop, they assured me one would be provided."

* For many companies processing corporate data on personal, not-managed-by-the-business hardware is a firing offense.

* Grabassery happens, but if it's clear that my potential employer is an established company that is unable to plan ahead far enough to ensure that the interview has the hardware and personnel required for the interview, that's a _huge_ red flag for me... and one that's good to get out of the way early.

They probably should do this, but if they have enough applicants for the job, this sort of "difficulty" itself is probably a useful filter to weed out those who can't put up with the pain.

That it is unpleasant for the potential hire doesn't really say much about the interests of Shopify. For senior engineers this probably is a bad strategy, but maybe not for entry-level or intermediate engineer who they will push around for a few years. Forcing you to jump through hoops may actually get them exactly the kind of employee they want.

Something like that, plus some overhead but likely < 3GB.

That being said though, half-precision would almost certainly work without a huge performance hit (so 2GB), 8bit/4bit quantitization could be done but usually don't work super well on the small parameter count models.

Also you can still batch it through but it'll be slower. In theory ~2GB including the overhead though...

It's worth noting that it's current performance though is only for a specific category of tests, and isn't the most useful model either so it's not chatGPT-on-your-phone just yet.
The only caveat with this is that they don't expose them over Homekit if you do this, you'll need to use Homebridge to get that going.
SQL is on the same group as Prolog. In fact, it is a simpler and purer implementation of a constraint-solving language, so it is probably a better option for learning the group than Prolog.

For the signal transformation ones, there are also the hardware definition languages on the same category as LabView and animation languages.
The actual practice behind metrorail and PRT operation, not to mention the actual operation of the system here, puts some lie to the theory you're working under.

When you design a system so that vehicles have to shunt to and from a station, you strongly limit the capacity of the system by that shunting system. Unbranched metrorail lines can reach 45TPH in normal operation, while branched lines do worse, and systems with heavy reverse branching (splitting from one line to rejoin another, NY's and DC's systems do this something fierce) struggle to get 24TPH. PRTs get better headways because they're smaller vehicles, but they're not really any better than a standard highway lane in the best case (which is beaten out by just about any other rapid transit system in existence).

If you look at the station design here, it's phenomenally bad from a throughput perspective. They appear to be using low sedans (which mean people take longer to get in and out of their seats compared to typical trainsets or buses). Furthermore, the parking spots are angled parking, which requires the cars to back into the travel lane to exit the station, backing up even traffic trying to "express" through the station. There are honest-to-god traffic jams on this system at even moderate capacity events. (Compare this with subway stations, where the station being at crush capacity utilization leads to trains skipping the station until it clears out; that's harder to do in this system.)
What exactly are you talking about here? Facebook did make many people second-guess their online presence, but it's not like our concerns over their data usage has stopped all spying. TikTok still ingests millions of videos for their... purposes. FIVE EYES ensures that the billions of first-world citizens are all spied on in law-abiding manner. NSO Group proves that spying can be privatized for adversaries too.

The "dark side" of privacy concerns is that you can't merely pick one boogeyman and pretend that killing them fixes everything.
Too late. Their announcement of the data cap was precisely why I canceled my signup for the Starlink beta and went with 5G home internet instead.
Why on earth is this being down-voted? It's patently and demonstrably true. The Independent isn't the source I'd use, but there are plenty more.

I guess the article left me feeling a little irritated. I give it credit for describing the contenders or options, including Nostr, but I got very little out of it other than "we journalists are scared and confused and don't know what to do; we just want Dorsey to give us Twitter back so we can forget what Musk has done to our beloved platform". They kind of dismiss Mastodon as "for nerds" and discuss its problems; the criticisms of Mastodon are fair I think, but the author doesn't discuss potential problems with BlueSky or its opaqueness, or how it will be different from Mastodon or Nostr in practice, or any detailed discussion of pros and cons of different systems. It seemed very focused on waiting for BlueSky uncritically as a resurrected Twitter, without understanding much about the implications of anything. I got the impression that BlueSky could be at its core liable to the same problems as Twitter in the end, and the writer would care less as long as it looked like the Twitter they knew.

So yes, in a sense, it captures the angst of journalists well, but only in the sense that it was written by an angsty journalist who doesn't seem to understand or care to find out how they ended up in the position that they seem to think is so horrible in the first place.

I say this all as someone who is open to BlueSky; there's just something about the social discussion dynamics of all of this that is frustrating to me. I'd rather read an article by a journalist who is being really skeptical and shrewd but also truly open-minded, about true network openness and potential benefits and costs of adoption of different systems, if for no other reasons than practical ones. There's a bit of that on HN, but I don't really see it anywhere else.

The EU has already held a conference for companies interested in rebuilding Ukraine. The best part of war is all of the business opportunities and government contracts the aftermath creates. Of course, your side has to win for these opportunities to be realized at their maximum value. If the other side wins, you might get some contracts out of it but usually as a sub and with lower margins, so it's really important that your side comes out the victor to maximize profits.
Maybe I'm naive or dumb or something but I feel like comparing a hacking attempt to the construction/crewing/deploying of a battleship doesn't make a whole lot of sense?

It takes a lot of work to build a motorcycle that is roadworthy from scratch. It takes a lot of work to build a skyscraper and develop it into a used space from scratch. Talking about the latter doesn't really discount the former, right?

> narrow, 3-ft passages

Is this a "fat Americans" joke? If it were 1 or 2 foot wide I could see calling it narrow, but 3 feet is plenty wide. Doubly so because there are passages on either side so it's 6 feet of walkway. The low maximum capacity of the system also helps in this regard, it will never need to evacuate thousands of people at once. Just the handful that were in the cars at the time.

This might change if Tesla changes out the current cars for higher capacity ones, but it doesn't seem like it should be an issue currently.
Yes, it's a little strange - it's basically two articles smooshed together. The first third is a pretty disinterested (perfunctory??) overview of the debt ceiling situation. The last two thirds (which is the actual 'nightmare') is about growing fiscal deficit.

Mojo looks extremely promising. Lattner has some hits and misses but in general I find myself agreeing with him on principles. A brief skim of MLIR is interesting as well and I can understand it's goals and how it fits into the LLVM ecosystem. Python is is a pleasant language to use and it has a massive and growing ecosystem. This combination of a stellar tech leader, a clear defined technical goal built within and on top of an existing powerful compiler platform/framework, a popular and beautiful language foundation including a huge library of existing performant code, and impressive performance claims - this all adds up to something worth paying close attention to.

Some random thoughts:

After watching tutorials on PyTorch I've come to the conclusion that new programming languages must have syntax built in for dealing with tensors/matrices. The flexible array index syntax in Python allows for some nice ergonomics for this but I have a feeling that we are just scratching the surface.

I understand that they don't have a public release nor a license - but I would like some more clarity on this before becoming more invested. Just saying "open source sometime soon" is a bit vague.

I worry about the eventual divergence these kinds of projects make from their source. Inevitably there will be a day when Python moves in a new direction that won't be compatible with Mojo. Will they remain tethered to Python on that day or will they feel sufficiently independent to go it alone?

I was very excited by Swift as a language. I was excited when Apple open sourced it. I was excited when Google was using it for TensorFlow. But it feels stalled out somehow. I don't understand the dynamics of language growth and adoption well enough to make predictions. If I were to start a new ML company today I don't know how comfortable I would be choosing Mojo over Python. Just having the current backing of a business will not guarantee success. Will this language offer enough to attract Python, C++, Rust, Julia, etc. devs over? They talk about deployment story ... but there is competition there as well in things like WASM. There are more ways to fail than there are to succeed - and I wish something like this would succeed but reality is so fickle.
The "get your hands off my AI" comments in this thread seem totally disconnected from what this announcement actually is. It's some funding for responsible AI research, a (voluntary) commitment from some leading AI companies to a public bake-off, and a plan to have some guidelines for using AI within the federal government. That's it.

Maybe not shadowy, but the rest? How do you have anything comparable to democratic scrutiny in a monarchical system?

You're putting it like the politicians don't have a reputation to uphold. Can you clearly explain why the long-term reputation of monarchs is more important than that of politicians? The politician will have to face re-election, the monarch will stay in power.
