It's an odd concept by just the traditional definition of the term; being copied and redistributed (regardless of attribution) en mass is just the way that memes propagate to begin with.

Zooming in on both the twitter use case, and how most users of those platforms see meme ~= funny image or OC, a stolen meme is more akin to stealing a joke.

So "stolen memes" is a phrase that makes zero sense for the broader definition of the word meme, but makes complete sense for the more specific definition.

Yeah it ain't bad, but my desktop has 4K@15.6", which is around 280dpi. Actually smaller gap than I thought, but an 11 inch display is going to be used closer which amplifies it.

Brightness and vividness of colors is a huge plus though, OLEDs are amazing. I love them. But it's gotta be 4K.

Maybe I am just cursed with above-average vision.
Just from what I know, top of head without looking it up.

National Parks run by National Park Service. Federally protected lands. There are lot fewer of them. They are more tourist-oriented and are treated like natural wonders for the public to experience. Very high restrictions to protect the land (staying on trail in certain areas, pets, campfires, leave no trace, camp and wilderness permits, manicured roads and trails). Has an entrance fee. Patrolled by park rangers. Often has crowds.

National Forest run by US Forest Service. Also federally protected and managed. There are a lot more of them and aren't marketed with much grandeur as a national park. They often contain a maze of rough, less-maintained forest roads. You can camp anywhere in them for free mostly without any fee or permit requirement, so it's sort of like wilderness. Less stringent rules of what you can and can't do. Very easy to drive into a national forest and see no one around. If I'm ever on the road, I'll sleep in a national forest or other public lands
> Do police officers get fired or lose money when technicalities free criminals?

Presumably there's some level of incentive to catch criminals. Otherwise why would police officers do anything? (Of course another possible answer is that they don't).

> If so, why couldn't we just keep that part and not release the criminals on the technicality?

Because it's very hard to maintain an incentive unless it's aligned all the way through an organisation. The consequences for police dishonesty needs to be something that will cause police chiefs to lose elections. Letting criminals go free is one of the few things that does that.
Novation flirted with open source with the LaunchPad Pro. Afaik it never really took off - I imagine that’s playing a part in not open sourcing future hardware
Sure? And I have a 4K monitor at 15.6", so around 280ppi. It doesn't matter what "desktop resolution" is.

National Parks, managed by the National Park Service, are designated primarily for preservation and public enjoyment. You're there to observe and enjoy, but not to alter. Activities like logging, mining, and hunting are generally prohibited.

On the other hand, National Forests, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, follow a multiple-use and sustained-yield approach. They're designed to support a variety of activities, including logging, grazing, mining, and recreation. These activities are carried out under sustainable practices to ensure the resources remain for future generations.
India emits half the CO2 that the US does, and 1/8th the per capita amount that the US does. China emits twice the CO2 as the US, but 1/2 the per capita amount.

So they are both doing better than the US if you use per capita.

Even if you use the nonsensical per country measure India is doing better than the US.

Per country is nonsensical because the atmosphere and climate do not care about arbitrary human boundaries.

If you go per country, then even if we set the goal as merely holding emissions to the current levels the US would have to cut its per capita emissions down to the level of Bangladesh or Nigeria to get on track. Alternatively, to get on track without cutting how much CO2 each person uses, the US would have to cut its population to about 11 million.

Alternatively, the US could split up with each state becoming a separate country. The more populous states like California or Texas would then only have to cut their per capita to around Switzerland or Portugal levels to be on track. Or cut their populations to around 8 or 9 million without cutting per capita emissions.

Under per country, the EU's fair share of the world's CO2 budget would be 27 times that of the US, because they are 27 separate countries.

The logical endpoint of divvying up the CO2 budget per country is for high per capita emitters to split, and the newly formed countries to make treaties with each other to form EU-like structures to minimize the disruption of the splits.

But notice that each time a country splits, it lowers the CO2 budget of each existing country. After the biggest per capita emitters split enough it will bring other countries that were once under budget over. Then they split, and so on.

This converges to per capita. So we should just skip the per country nonsense and budget based on per capita without actually requiring every freaking country to split into dozens of tiny countries first.

Look how well the stock has done since IPO. Google has survived all competition thus far. For this reason, given Google's 2-decade track record, I trust google management more than I trust some writer. It's a long-shot bet with huge potential payoff.
LLM's are specifically designed and trained for semantic understanding related tasks. That's the entire point. They are trained to solve natural language understanding tasks and they build a semantic model in order to solve the tasks.
A forest and a park have completely different uses.

A national park is a place for humans, and to some extent, wildlife, to enjoy,

A forest in this context is a natural resource to be exploited. For the most part it’s a place where lumber is harvested.
One example I’ve always liked:

Solving Sudoku (for general sized grids) is np-complete, but usually fairly easy. Many people write quite good sudoku solvers that can solve any 9x9 in a few milliseconds.

Now, a valid sudoku is a grid which has one unique answer. What’s the smallest number of clues a valid sudoku can have?

That problem is still in a 9x9 grid, and has been solved but it up at the limit of what we can do. It took a whole bunch of clever maths, and about a million CPU hours.

> One day you'll find yourself considering whether to bike to work or not, and the thought of arriving sweaty and tired may hold you back. But let me tell you, the benefits of biking far outweigh the temporary discomfort of sweat. The fresh air, exercise, and feeling of freedom that comes with riding a bike can set the tone for your entire day. Plus, you'll be doing your part to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. So, don't let the fear of sweat hold you back from experiencing the joy of biking to work. Give it a try and see how it can transform your daily routine and overall wellbeing.
A cool idea.

Question for the engineers working on this: Does this just summarize one article or at a time or cross reference multiple different sources for the same event?
i’m curious also.

i used it as an example of a way a dataset might have a huge number of feature vectors.

curious if there are better ways to do this now.
Definitely a good change, as this fixes an issue I (and I think most Go developers) have been bitten by more than once. It was really interesting to read the response of someone from the C# team in the original discussion, of how C# had gone through almost exactly the same change and how that went down: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/56010#discussioncom...
Yep. Nexus devices were a whole different thing.

Elsewhere in this thread I and other people talked about how Engine probably made this with the goal of making people more sympathetic to tech companies' challenges with content moderation, by giving people some form of first-hand experience.

It turns out that we don't have to speculate about this motivation, because they spelled it out quite explicitly in a blog post:

Never thought of it that way, good philosophy!
This presupposes that NYT or WSJ journalists are making racist tweets in violation of ToS, workplace ethics policies, and basic human decency. Seeing as you’re making a very serious allegation do you have any proof?

I absolutely do not want to live in a world where I (or anyone) am worried that everything said will be publicly assigned an arbitrary “racist” score by a black box. I think most people would agree.

> We're all freeloading, all the time, on all the millions of things millions people have made and given away over the internet. Google didn't make those videos they're sharing, after all - they got that stuff for free!

This just isn't true. You're not freeloading if you use the service as designed – ad-supported services became predominant because that was the easiest way to reliably get enough revenue to run a business. Google pays roughly half of the ad revenue to people who make YouTube content, which may or may not be what you consider fair but it's definitely not free.

> > what you’re doing is no different from someone hopping the fare gate on a subway or bus

> There is no fare gate on this subway.

That's the ads – the terms are that you either watch ads or pay directly. When you bypass the ads, you're breaking that arrangement and depriving everyone of the money they would otherwise have earned. Now, you can argue that they get enough anyway but that's exactly the logic that people use to hop a fare-gate trying to claim that all of the other passengers are taking care of the cost. If that's who you want to be, just admit it.
True, I forgot about heat pumps. That’s one of the few times physics let’s you “cheat”.
Center bias is as much of a bias as any other.
For digital electronics I recommend Ben eater’s series and kits. Basically starts with an assumption that you understand very basic direct current (as in you know that current flows from a voltage source to ground), and takes you all the way through building a vary basic computer.

I would also recommend building your own project, and having it made at one of the Chinese fab houses. Even something as simple as replicating an Arduino will teach you A LOT.

I productized an arduino prototype by self teaching, and it’s all really not that hard once you get a grasp of the basics.
very very unlikely he gets even 10.

It's funny when you take a plea you have to say you were not coerced into making the plea even though everyone knows that you were threatened with the 'trial tax' of an extremely high maximum sentence in order to pressure you into taking the plea. That's the whole reason for these max sentences. Think of the 'trial tax' as a threat to 'not dare' exercise your right to trial. And then the plea includes taking away your Constitutional right to appeal later. It's like Constitutional rights are malleable (except of course the good old 2a, then those same people are fine with restricting other rights say Constitutional rights can not be violated). Sad that there are euphemism like 'trial tax' 'diesel therapy' for blatant Constitutional rights violations in the USA.
Wow, that is a very well-considered and interesting site as well. Thanks for the link!
> Changing the price of a good does not 'decrease demand'. It changes the supply curve - and given an identical 'demand curve' (aka demand does not change), there may end up being less consumption of that good.

Demand means the amount of a product or service that people want. Increasing the price of something does reduce the demand for it (and increases the supply).

> this is even worse than wrong, I don't know what to say at this point.

This is puzzling and I think you misread what I wrote. An employee bringing in less in revenue than they are paid is an unsustainable situation.

> no, they can't replace with cheaper workers - because of minimum wage

They can replace the workers with fewer more experienced ones who will be able to command the higher wage.

> A wage increase means the money has to come from somewhere

It does come from somewhere: fewer hired workers. If you raise the price of oranges, you will sell fewer. Setting a price floor on labor is no different.

> It depends.

No, it doesn't. Employers try to pay employees as little as they can and employees try to earn as much as they can. When an employer feels they're not getting enough for their money, they replace them. When an employee feels that they aren't compensated enough, they find another job. "Labor" is too generic to make claims about elasticity of demand–some types of labor may be elastic, others inelastic, but minimum wage laws do not discriminate. In addition, there is always a ceiling where supply and demand become irrelevant: the revenue added by hiring a worker must be higher than their wage. If a new price floor is higher than what an employee is able to bring in in revenue, that employee will not remain employed.

There are polynomial-time approximation schemes for all those problems. Few of the NP-complete problems are both difficult to approximate and have practical use cases. 3SAT is the big exception.
I got quite used to the prototype inheritance style Javascript and really liked it. But I don't think it scales across teams as well as modern JS or Typescript. But for a small project with just myself or a few other skilled developers? I'd prefer old-school style JS semantics.

Having hung out with Thiel at Stanford, Tan must have had some idea about the nature of his true character. So how could he possibly have expected the experience of working under him to be any any way fun or positive?

As the AIDS crisis raged in the Bay Area, [Thiel's monthly opinion journal, The Stanford Review] printed treatises against “unnatural forms of sex” and “homophobia-phobia.” Chafkin writes that, when a Stanford senior was charged with sexual assault, the Review published an ardent defense of the rapist.

This is a pretty cool way to tackle this problem, but I don't think there's any "easy" solution to this problem space, which I visualize as:

News media needs to make money. To do so it needs eyeballs. Eyeballs, despite our best efforts and intensions, can't help but be drawn to sensation (and blood). The news media thus selects for sensation and blood.

The add-on effect of this that makes it all matter: recency bias as well as some other cognitive quirks we all have mean that when the news media selects for sensation and blood, we start to believe the universe is a lot more sensational and bloody than it really is.

This is demonstrable: publish a story about a freak one in a million train accident and people stop riding the train and start taking their cars, despite risk of accident in car being by every way of measuring it drastically higher.

I'm not saying that news media shouldn't talk about train crashes, I'm saying I'm not sure we've figured out yet how to remind people that the world is actually mundane. People watch the news to "be informed," but in actuality their perspection of reality is being warped.

The news would have you believe crime is going up or down based on whether it makes a good story, when (depending on where you live) the relatively minor adjustmens in these statistics really don't affect you, every walk to work statistically speaking will leave you unmolested.

The media would have you believe that there are riots across the country in response to the cops killing an unarmed person, again. When in reality, most protests are really quite boring, just a lot of people walking around and maybe occasionally chanting. If there even is a local protest.

I don't know what it will take to remind people that the world is boring, but right now the news media is motivated against this, because the angrier and more scared we all are, the more we click in.
> I mean, a short stock is unbounded. A sentence for an individual charge is bounded.

Okay fine. Local man shorts 1 share of IBM and pays a penny to get a call option at $huge. He faces a loss of up to $huge!
The MAGA movement isn't coopted, it's a wholly artificial creation.

Some of it is driven by grift (gold coins, prepper supplies, assault weapons...) Some by political opportunism. Some by nihilistic accelerationism.

Absolutely none of it is a genuinely organic spontaneous bottom-up movement.

That turns out to be one of the worst things about the Internet. It just doesn't amplify culture. Bad actors with significant resources can use it to steer culture.

Any billionaire can seed a political movement now, and significantly influence elections.

That's a ridiculous amount of power and it has absolutely no democratic oversight.

To an extent that's always been true of media ownership. But where early 20th c. print was very much print-and-hope, with the Internet you can get almost instant real-time feedback of how an influence campaign is doing. And if it's not working you can adjust it to order.

At some point soon this whole process will fully automated, with AI running bot farms, creating content, supervising and steering forums, and collecting and personalising prospect details, all without human participation.
It would generally be fine if scientific concerns dominated decision making processes in most domains. The problem is that decision makers often decide based on their own preconceptions and biases, then justify those decisions after the fact with a thin veneer of cherry-picked "science". Then they use logical fallacies to demonize their opponents as "anti-science".

(This is a general comment about problematic decision making and is not a political attack on any individual person or party. I have observed similar patterns across the political spectrum.)

The one area where scientific concerns must never be allowed to dominate is in fundamental freedoms and human rights. Those cannot be analyzed scientifically in any productive way.

It really irks me when authorities go after someone, can't prove something then because they don't want to look bad and want to get a promotion will instead get people for nonsense like they did Mrs Stewart. She should have been able to sure the government and get punitive damages for malicious prosecution.
With the caveat that I am certainly no expert, my understanding is that he blew up when VIAC issued a secondary offering, which flooded the market with new shares at a lower price, triggering a margin call then forced liquidation. So there was an exogenous shock.

Of course, the kind of mindset that would have him take profits is not the kind of mindset that got him to such leveraged paper gains to begin with.
Did you read the article? He destroyed the remains of the plane AFTER the FAA explicitly told him to not even touch it.

Sure, no evidence, no crime, but in this case there was evidence that the feds knew about. If you destroy the evidence before the cops know it exists, fair game. But this wasn't it.

As usual, the coverup is worse than the crime. Especially for the guy getting railroaded.
The saying is simply the idea that someone can have a mental impression of something, and it defines how they see that something, regardless of the truth.

Another great idea though also very US centric like the app in this post. Hopefully this comes to more places
Samsung routines can do exactly this. You can customize it to only charge up to 85% (though no way to set 80% or 90% or something) and then have it not charge until two hours before your alarm, either fast charge or slow charge.

You do have to live somewhere with a housing policy that doesn't suck. But that's doable. Believe it or not it's possible to find jobs that aren't in London that pay more than 20% of a London salary. (If you don't want to deal with moving internationally, often the easiest way is a remote job for a company based in London). UK planning laws are awful and are crippling the country. That's a fact about UK politics, not a law of nature.
