Data privacy is linked to misinformation however in that by tricking you to give up all your data, they know you down to a t. They then sell that info on to propaganda/misinformation outfits and ad firms who can then target too much more efficiently.
Please do, this excellent post is already a good start on the issues involved in creating compacting garbage collectors.
It seems quite possible that she meant it as a thought experiment, but that other people, when they heard it, thought yeah that's how it will go down, turning it into a prediction, not her prediction exactly, but a prediction.

Existing BEVs already need to be charged only once a week.

e.g. US median commute is 35 miles, and you can get 350-mile EVs. EVs are most efficient at low speeds, so in city driving they can reach their advertised range.
stop buying hp, stop your friends and family from buying hp, stop your work from buying hp. Thats the only solution, and its long term. HP will do whatever they want, the only thing you can do is refuse to give HP any money for any reason and insist everyone you provide technical expertise for does the same.
Don't let people discourage you from charging because vim-tutor is free. All programming languages have free docs, but most of us do not mind spending on a book on that same language.

The difference would be that the laws of physics are much more rigorous than the 'laws' of psychology/sociology.

Outliers in the latter aren't necessarily indicative of anything wrong with theory in general, while even a single outlier in anything in the former is indicative of an incomplete model.

There are various results in physics which should be predictable via both GR and QM independently. The results should be the same as both models are supposed to be describing the same thing, so it follows that there should be some sort of gradual transition as one set of effects gradually comes to dominate over the other. Otherwise we'd see a single point in the data where QM stops being accurate and GR takes over, but despite investigating so many different scales, we have not seen any such cutoff point.
I worked closely with the author (John Calhoun, @JKCalhoun) at Apple in my first job out of college. On my first day, I remember being introduced to him. I looked on his bookshelf and saw a printed and bound copy of the Glider source code. I asked him if it was the same Glider I remembered playing as a little kid in the early 90s on our friends' Mac. And it was. It was a real "holy crap" moment for me, not only did I get to meet the author of one of the very first computer games I ever played, but I got to work with him!

We'd hang out in each other's offices (the "open floor plan" trend hadn't quite taken hold, we actually had private/semi-private offices back then) and talk about old computers and stuff. I was starting to get into hardware hacking as a hobby. He gave me a Tektronix oscilloscope and an Apple IIe (both still work, they're sitting on my shelves and I'm looking at them right now!) which was amazingly generous of him. He wanted to give me a big box full of helium-neon lasers and optics and power supplies, but had to decline due to my lack of space. Hope you're doing well, John!
The writing is very clear and the concepts are explained well. Not too much information and not too little. Excellent post.
The US has invaded Mexico before (and taken half of its land in the subsequent treaty). Mexico is also substantially under US domination since (along with much of Latin America), it is just that our domination has been softer and maybe more beneficial. The situation is certainly not the same, but there are significant risks of very similar border conflicts arising in the coming 2-3 decades, and the US will absolutely respond in as dominant a way as it can. The US would absolutely not tolerate a border country joining a binding oppositional alliance. I don't think the analogy is so bad as you make it out to be and I think the US would try a series of actions to diffuse the situation similar to what we have seen in this conflict (but the US would probably be more capable and more likely to avoid the final escalation).

Maybe I am guessing too much here, but I got kids, and one iPad, and my kids use the iPad.

The fact that there is no multiple accounts set up for iPad is on Apple and their greed so that we have to buy multiple devices. Imagine doing the same with a Mac.

I dont blame this woman if this is the case.
As we progress scientifically, our ability to accidentally off ourselves will only continue to grow.

>because it predicts effects like gravitational lensing don't exist.

But we use gravitational lensing, and the amount of lensing is predicted by GR?

I don't understanding this statement. Is there some additional affect around lensing we should see if quantum gravity is a thing?
I've been "depressed" if you want to call it that based on the DSM-5 definition both before and after the LSD trips. And no not during - that's one of the benefits of fun events - you forget about depression because you're too busy with other things, at least I do anyway

She coulda beat people over the head with stuff like this more, but it's pretty clearly not a strictly utopian view there...

Even this, right:

and the later complaints about how there "used to be"

> lifestyle diseases, climate change, the refugee crisis, environmental degradation, completely congested cities, water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment

Like, we're clearly not actually solving all those problems by "free transportation of tools instead of buying them", we're just ignoring them.
Oy, I skimmed over that line. There's no link to any actual study results though, is there?

... do you think that's the only way it applies ? Did you read it ?

It says that no other method of authentication to US Government (exempting specifically national security systems) except for the approved method may be used. Since there are no passwords in the list of strong authenticators, it's not permitted.

Here are the relevant sections pieced together so you can't miss it:

Note "Mandatory"

> establishing a mandatory, Government-wide standard for secure and
> reliable forms of identification issued by the Federal Government
> to its employees and contractors (including contractor employees)

Note that the definition of the phrase used above excludes passwords:

> "Secure and reliable forms of identification" for purposes of this
> directive means identification that (a) ...; (b) is strongly resistant
> to identity fraud, tampering, counterfeiting, and terrorist exploitation;

This is the part that says they have 8 months after the August publication
of HSPD-12 to comply with the above, and specifically for US Government
computers (called Information Systems).

> As promptly as possible, but in no case later than 8 months after the
> date of promulgation of the Standard, the heads of executive departments
> and agencies shall, to the maximum extent practicable, require the use
> of identification by Federal employees and contractors that meets the Standard
> in gaining [...] logical access to Federally controlled information systems.
> Departments and agencies shall implement this directive in a manner
> consistent with ongoing Government-wide activities, policies and
> guidance issued by OMB, which shall ensure compliance.

So, upon... actually reading HSPD-12 there's no interpretation that can be made where passwords are permitted to access unclassified systems... aka, my original statement.

You are wrong.
You still own the printer. You can still buy regular ink cartridges and use them however you want.

It can't stop at simply just owning things, need to own good quality things, because a lot of things are built with planned obsolescence, which is still a form of rent-seeking. Explicitly renting things is almost preferable because it's more honest, rather than obfuscate the rent-collection behind planned obsolescence.

But superior to both is owning quality things.
So this seems like a stopgap measure so it's not done yet. I'm disappointed to see how people will equally bear the cost of this given we all know what needs to change here: we need to reduce agricultural usage. Although cutting off gold courses will propbably help too.

Farms have a "use it or lose it" system for water allocation, which leads farms to grow water-intensive crops to keep their allocation, most notably alfalfa. We just need to stop growing such crops.

One bone of contention: while climate change is obvviously very real, neither it nor a "historic drought" is the cause of the problem. The problem is, quite simply, overuse based on unrealistic projections of water inflows to the Colorado River basin (see Figure 2 [1]).

Blaming it on climate change is washing hands of responsibility. Poor modeling and mismanagement is the real problem.

Most of the misinformation concerns have to do with what other people are posting, but then people try to contort it into a critique of the platform without saying the quiet part out loud ("we should have a mechanism for deciding on 'truths' and have platforms censor things outside of those 'truths'") because the quiet part is actually unpopular.
Yeah but the point is they may “use” that much water, but not even close to that much is coming out of the rivers and reservoirs. Of course there may be some less sustainable golf courses which do use that much, and those should be fixed, don’t think many folks would debate you there.
Maybe there should be some kind of quality seal for online services. As long as a service has not managed to comply with the law for an extended period of time companies are not allowed to harass their users into using those services. If they still do it, they also get their quality seal removed, with all the implications that come with that.
Some other notes from what I understand of current mainstream physics:

- elementary particles have no defined size in QM (electrons, quarks, neutrinos, photons etc); there is no known lower-bound on how small they could be, and there are serious mathematical issues both with assuming a non-0 radius, but other problems with assuming a radius of 0

- composite particles like a proton or a hydrogen atom have a size because of the relative strengths of the forces holding together their components; for example, the three quarks making up a proton must exist at a certain distance from one another because of the properties of the strong force; the electron of a hydrogen atom must "orbit" the proton at a certain distance because of the properties of the electrical force

- QM spin is not a rotation speed of any kind; QM particles are not little balls rotating around their center; quantum spin has no known relation to the speed of light

- replacing one constant of nature (the size of a proton, or at least of an elementary particle) by another constant of nature (the speed of light) is not really simplifying the theory; one could just as easily go the other way, and say that the speed of light is derived from the size of elementary particles in some other way
This is something I always highlight. Grab your standard dystopian sci-fi, check the back history and realize that someone thought that something very much like it was a Grand Idea. Implementation details got in the way, sure, but damn, this system is so fine that hardly anyone could object, and you know what to do with people who object to Utopia.

With a simple enough allocator, freeing things could maybe even be beneficial even for short-lived programs, purely from the memory being in cache already, instead of needing to ask the OS for more (incl. page faulting & zeroing, besides being limited by RAM throughput). For a buddy allocator without coalescing, a free() that just adds the argument to the corresponding freelist can be as simple as 5 or so x86-64 instructions (the fast path of the allocator being ~8 or so instructions; certainly more than a bump allocator, but not by much, and the reuse benefits can easily be pretty big).

So you have 3 years of working experience. How many code bases of similar size are you familiar with?

When working on a new code base of that size, figure out how old it is, and how the requirements changed over time. It might be more likely your don't see the big picture of why things are done and structured the way they are. obviously, it would be great to have someone around to ask why every time your see something that doesn't make sense or seems overly complicated or backwards. You don't have that luxury. But try to get to know the code more.

Sure, you might be right and the code is just complete garbage, but I'm just reminded of how third semester CS students also know everything better as soon as they learn some pattern X and consider it the best and only way to do things. :-)

Given that native English speakers have a leg up in HR processes over here, I agree that everything that makes Europe a better living space is a nice thing for Americans who want out and largely can get out.

I work for a European tech company, and we have a noticeable uptick of American applicants over the years. Common (as in: almost every time) interview questions I answer are "Is it safe there? I work in [say, Portland] and we had just had gunshots again across the street" and "Can my kids ride the subway alone?". Colleagues who made the leap tend to tell me they are "glad they got out".
Full disclosure: I am not an active researcher and haven't been in a wet lab in a while.

Not disagreeing with your statement. IMO Cryo-EM is a huge step above crystallography and captures way more biologically accurate structures on top of being way easier to do.

To get a bit more nuanced: I think there's still a significant gap between the captured structure and biological action, and often people believe that the structure is the be-all and end-all to these conclusions. A simple example would be the location of water molecules and how the hydrogen bonds interact with protein active sites. In many cases it's not hard to impute, but it can be tricky and often requires outside techniques.

I think the long term solution would be to directly capture structure level precision in motion, similar to looking at a slide from a mouse model or something. AFAIK we're not there yet, even though we can get pretty close by stitching together captured structures with predictive chemistry models.

I used to love code in school. Never ended up coding for work: Went from finance to analysis, biz dev and management. Work was work.

The happiest I’ve been is in the past few months, in a new role. There are several reasons, but one of them is definitely that i have ann excuse to get back to code.

I find myself waking up early, and having work to finish, on a Saturday - that I enjoy. It’s feeding my ability to work on other personal projects, that make me happier and I learn new things.

Has there been any official confirmation of the number of parameters used in gpt4? Pages around the web seem to have conflicting reports on the number, ranging from 1T to 170T, but there doesn't seem to be anything official.

Granted, I'm looking at these salaries, from over in the healthcare sectors where CEOs and executives (whose value many of us find questionable) make $5 mil salaries, even for being CEO of a "nonprofit hospital/foundation", and have way larger golden parachutes to boot. I'd say it's (relatively) admirable the Wikimedia board is stressing out about severances from $300-500k.
One thing to consider is that katherine became CEO at a very turbulant time at WMF. The previous ceo (lila) was extremely unpopular and facing a staff revolt [1]. Morale was terrible. Maybe katherine had a big severence agreement because she was walking into a shit show.

According to Intel's own press release, "Argonne is spearheading an international collaboration to advance the project, including Intel; HPE; Department of Energy laboratories; U.S. and international universities; nonprofits; and international partners, such as RIKEN."

> Auken had previously written in 2014 about a hackathon at the WEF that proposed "FridgeFlix", a startup that would allow users to lease all of their household appliances from a provider that would also service and upgrade these appliances.

This _kind_ of used to be how appliances worked in some countries; many people rented a TV and VCR and so on. At a certain point, the cost structures changed, it was cheaper to buy, and the appliance rental places largely went out of business.

Arguably, this is a bit surprising, because equipment leasing for _companies_ is still big business. I assume someone will try the consumer version again sooner or later.
> I don't understand your position.

It could have been the case where the seniors were only given their rights because it was assumed there were 16.5 million acre-feet, and not 11 million.

Or perhaps the juniors only agreed because they thought there would be 16.5 million acre-feet.

Or the federal government may have allowed senior rights to continue to exist for so long because they thought there would be 16.5 million acre-feet.

The idea of senior water rights, not sharing such an important resource, is inherently unfair. The senior people did nothing to earn more water than anyone else. They didn't put the river there.

It seems there are better factors to consider when deciding how to distribute the water at this point than treaties based on bad data, signed a long time ago, when things were a lot different than they are today.
It’s interesting how it took OpenAI 7-years to produce GPT4, and in the matter of a few months Google/Intel/etc have released on par offerings.

I wonder how much of a competitive moat actually exists in this space.

Or her essay was actually about what it's title and content literally said and the "thought experiment" line was a pitiful backpedal.

I mean, everything you write is a "thought experiment", that doesn't mean you are immune to the responses to the content.

For example, if you wrote something really racist and then got backlash, could you just claim it was a thought experiment to invoke discussions about race? Not successfully.

Does the semantics of "thought experiment" vs "prediction" really matter though? The point is it's a dystopian view being discussed at THE platform of world leaders... It doesn't look good at all.

For a contact in an email adress book, that makes sense. But for a "friend" relationship in Facebook, which side owns that edge? Or how about a message sent from someone in the EU to someone in the US, who owns that, the sender or the recipient? And if it is just one, does that mean that different messages for the same conversation have to be stored in different regions?
1. Shit code is in the eye of the beholder. Most programmers think code they didn't write qualifies as shit. I see it as an opportunity. Learn it, fix it, make it better, that's part of the job. What did you expect you'd be doing that makes this job seem so bad? A programmer who can competently work with legacy code without whining has a valuable and rare career skill, so get good at it and increase your value.

2. I don't get invested psychologically in code, and certainly not physically. Get some perspective.

3. Martin Fowler's book Refactoring has some good advice and techniques.

It's not unusual for the CVE to be listed as reserved when other content comes out referencing the number.

They didn't sell the ink to OP. With the subscription plan (which is entirely voluntary) You pay a small monthly fee for x number of pages per month. That fee is much lower than the cost of a cartridge of ink.

The downside is that you cannot use the cartridge if you cancel. Because otherwise everyone would subscribe for 1 month, pay maybe 1/8th of the price of a cartridge and then keep printing with it for a long time after.
