Interesting; through the fog of time, I may have misremembered some "tip" I was given for Windows 3.1 programming efficiency, as being a more definitive statement about the internal structure of Windows than it really was.

That tip, as I recall it, was that the developer should minimize the number of top-level windows they create, because each top-level window in the system gets opted automatically into various things that regular controls don't (including having a bunch of default child controls that probably keep a lot of state and pump a lot of messages.) But MDI child windows don't have the same window-class as top-level windows, and are instead pruned down to be much "lighter", both in doing things like:

- not having a some child controls (e.g. a menu bar) by default (you're supposed to attach the menu bar to the MDI frame instead, and change it to reflect the menu of the active child — as you say, it's "a Mac in a box" behavior);

- implementing behaviors that seem like their own child controls, but which are actually parts of the MDI child's own geometry, to reduce the number of event loops that need to be pumped. (I believe an MDI child's default-styled title bar might be this way, only becoming a full-on child control tree if the MDI child is given non-default styles.)

- "Sharing" child controls, where the control (I think an MDI child window's caption buttons might be this way?)

- routing messages to only the active child, with the others essentially frozen except when they need to redraw

Digging around, evidence to corroborate this is pretty scant, but there is some:

- https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/095/Q95578/ is a bug that is evidence of the MDI child window class having most of its behaviors programmed separately, rather than there being any code reuse between top-level windows and MDI child windows

- https://github.com/TransmissionZero/Win16-MDI-Application/bl... shows that MDI child windows have to be created through a special handler in the MDI frame (WM_MDICREATE); you can't just create regular windows with the MDI frame as their parent
I have been advocating this for some time. If we want full transparency, let's start with the public servants. Oh, they won't be able to make backroom deals, fail at peace agreements because they walked out after 2 hours, and we'll know exactly how they failed? Yes, that's how it should be, because millions of plebs will have to fight and pay the price for their abject failure, negligence and incompetence later. Let it be on full display!

Look, maybe nuclear secrets, black ops and some kind of weird Blackwater (er excuse me Academi) stuff can be off the books, although that has historically resulted in a lot of misery, especially the CIA: https://www.npr.org/2017/01/23/511185078/america-in-laos-tra... and is probably a major reason behind war in Ukraine since 2014 ... but also in dozens of other countries, too. You'll find out when it's fully declassified 10 years later, but by then they'll just say "mistakes were made".

If we knew about how the covert operations that led to wars that killed MILLIONS of people, we'd hold them to account: https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/how-jimmy-carter-...

Come to think of it, we'd all be richer, too. Want to get rid of wasteful spending? Start with the Pentagon. Somehow debt-ceiling Republicans aren't eager to do that but it can't account for $35,000,000,000,000 https://www.yahoo.com/video/pentagon-35-trillion-accounting-...

Thankfully we have C-SPAN at least.
I can't believe how much denial is still in every climate change internet thread I see. People will pull out one paper or one interesting theory and act like that totally negates the enormous majority of conservative scientific literature, going back decades, telling us its literally an ongoing disaster. And possibly a very large disaster if something trips.

And its not an acceptable amount of internet noise... It feels like 30-40%. And it seems much higher than the past.
You didn't answer the question. Taking for granted that insurance and social welfare safety nets are good for civilized society, it's also useful to recognize that they're not free; someone has to work to pay for them. Do you see any virtue in wanting to work so that others don't have to carry as much of your weight? Or do you only value the virtue in other people being willing to pay your way for you?

Except that COVID was the result of poor containment policies by the Chinese, who then fought tooth and nail to avoid any culpability, including flat out lying and gaslighting the WHO, whereas Taiwan was a model to emulate in terms of pandemic response.

I’d feel much safer with Taiwan in the WHO and China out, if one had to pick sides.

> If it is just "let's expose every feature of linux kernel underneath and add some" I wouldn't be worried.

This is a bad mental model to use for Linux. The level of maturity generally has a direct relationship to the size of the user base. Stuff like MPLS support and tons of VRFs is not nearly as polished as something like basic routing+nat.

This extends beyond reliability to things like tooling for debugging. Some of the kernel networking features are nearly impossible to debug when they break without going into the kernel code and reading the source.

I think the focus on the increase in mean temperature has been detrimental.

Joe and Jill Average don't think about how 4,4,5,6,6 and 1,1,5,9,9 have the same average, and certainly have little understanding for how the changes in average temperature manifests in changes to the weather.

That said, humans in general are reactionary and adaptive, and don't plan that far ahead. We'll burn through our lottery winnings or inheritance and end up broke having to go back to work. I expect we'll do the same with our climate.

It is not at all "off-topic," since this post is specifically about chemists. And yes, I DO think an interesting discussion could evolve out of this. What if you asked it to make explosives? Or any other nefarious compound?

> Deep learning systems don't store their computational graphs, the graphs are implicit in their computation process

I'm not sure about other frameworks, but in PyTorch, I think it's fair to say that while graphs are implicit in the sense that they are dynamically constructed at runtime (as opposed to statically defined at compilation time as with TF), they are not implicit in the sense that they are not directly represented by PyTorch's data structures: PyTorch does store the computational graph. After a backward pass, you can ask each Tensor in the graph, for example, for its associated Node: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/autograd.html#autograd-graph

I've been following the state of affairs ever since the very first GWAS on humans was published not too long ago.

The studies were a little shocking at first, but really it's more surprising to me how much neurotic anxiety people have over the valuable insights in these studies. Insights that, by the way, were first discovered by cavemen in India 10,000 years ago and used it to build the first successful societies by distributing labor fairly based on these exact same brain/body types that just some guy found running a k-means on genomes and MMPI-2 answers. And these societies were pretty successful until they were taken over by people that didn't get it.

> “It should be noted that when compiling statistics, we excluded all data related to the United States due to illegal arrest of two Russian citizens on suspicion of involvement in Z-Library,” the shadow library writes on Telegram.

Where does the "illegal arrest" part come from? If the arrest was illegal, that's a big deal. My assumption is that there was nothing illegal about the arrest per se, and calling it an illegal arrest is just a way of getting sympathy or trying to re-frame the situation. But, I could have missed something, so please let me know if this is a serious allegation.
The abstract:

"We present Composable Diffusion (CoDi), a novel generative model capable of generating any combination of output modalities, such as language, image, video, or audio, from any combination of input modalities. Unlike existing generative AI systems, CoDi can generate multiple modalities in parallel and its input is not limited to a subset of modalities like text or image. Despite the absence of training datasets for many combinations of modalities, we propose to align modalities in both the input and output space. This allows CoDi to freely condition on any input combination and generate any group of modalities, even if they are not present in the training data. CoDi employs a novel composable generation strategy which involves building a shared multimodal space by bridging alignment in the diffusion process, enabling the synchronized generation of intertwined modalities, such as temporally aligned video and audio. Highly customizable and flexible, CoDi achieves strong joint-modality generation quality, and outperforms or is on par with the unimodal state-of-the-art for single-modality synthesis."
Most people wanting to use CRDTs though want to use them in scenarios where a central authority is desirable for all sorts of other reasons.
While the NYT is guilty of taking US Govt statements at face value, they are not nearly the same thing, and to suggest otherwise is intensely foolish.
Ten years ago we could barely do object recognition in photos. There was nothing resembling a theory of how to make ChatGPT. Something like ChatGPT was considered science fiction ten years ago. Even a little over three years ago. Yet here we are. Who is to say we won't have similarly massive progress in the next ten years? The jump from AlexNet ten years ago to ChatGPT may correspond to a jump from ChatGPT to superintelligence in ten years.

And unplugging a misaligned AI won't work. If it has no physical power, it would be deceptive. Otherwise it would prevent us from unplugging it. Avoiding being shut down is a convergent subgoal. That's why animals don't like to be killed. It prevents them from doing anything else.

Neither am I a parent. I am open to changing my mind. (This isn't a topic I thought about until recently.)

Removing items from a library strikes me as something that should be a cultural red line in a free society. A restricted section, where one needs e.g. parental consent to access the books, seems to square the circle of not letting one group take away another's access to information while keeping parents in the driver's seat.

Note that my argument begins and ends with libraries. I don't really have an opinion on classroom instruction and materials.

Nope it’s ad hominem and a propaganda technique used when your argument is flimsy. There’s nothing essential about it, you could discuss the merits of Ukraine on its own but instead you had to try to obfuscate and distract by expanding to Yugoslavia.

What Russia is doing right now in Ukraine is disgraceful, unjustified and indefensible.
Your boss could be worrying about politics in the company, asking for a raise directly can lead to that, you can find some examples in Ben Horowitz's "The Hard Thing About Hard Things", the part "HOW TO MINIMIZE POLITICS IN YOUR COMPANY".

I don't think you have a case, but once you get the CD-ROM you are allowed to redistribute the content on the CD-ROM. So you can upload it to the Internet and take out a billion dollars in ads to point the way to everyone, and their little $45 CD-ROM racket goes out of business.

I don't know why they wouldn't just push it to Github for free, though. Any competitor that wants to borrow their modifications will gladly cough up $45. So they're just making people mad for no reason.
Thats all the more reason for WHO to cooperate. China is the one who needs pandemic response cooperation/help. Their government would absolutely compromise world health by backing out over a petty insult like acknowledging Taiwan.

Oh sweet summer child. It's a government. This one may be "far-left". The UK wants to do the same and is "far-right". The far-right in the USA want to ban porn, prostitution and burn books. Governments are made of psychopaths. It doesn't matter what kind of politics the psychopaths are pretending to have in order to get into power. The reason that politicians even have parties is so that there is always someone else to blame, not them: you blame "the far-left" and not the psychopaths in power. The problem is always "woke people", "fascists", "lefties", "racists", you name it. No the problem is psychopaths.
The movie is based on the book Losing the Signal by Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff, which is probably closer to the actual history:

Or perhaps the important thing is the story being told rather than the exact scientific accuracy of the setting. Tortoises and hares don't literally talk or enter foot races with one another, either, yet there's still plenty of value to be had from the fable featuring them.
I just talked to other kids and we pooled money to buy the book and then photocopy it. It was rampant piracy. I think we might have then either sold the book (likely) or returned it (unlikely) after photocopying it.

It taught me that there are limits to my ethics. Knowing full well that I am violating a social contract that many others are abiding by, I still did it. If I can act on this particular line, then it's just a matter of degree between me and those who more egregiously violate our shared rules.

After all, we had a massive advantage against kids who worked hard to afford the books. Even if they made $15/hr (outrageous), they would still have spent 10 hours on that book alone.
I don't think so. People don't give Jerome Powell the credit he deserves. I think he (and the Fed as a whole) will stick to their guns, they'll raise rates and keep them high for much longer than people expect. And they'll put a lid to inflation pressures. Of course, they'll be criticized by lots of armchair quarterbacks that they are destroying the economy, they are lackeys of the rich, or god knows what, but they'll do the job they are supposed to do, fight inflation. They've been doing this for more than a year now.
The poll I linked shows a difference in thought among white vs Hispanic vs Black perceptions of whether or not whites benefit from advantages in society. I don't see any definition of what a societal advantage is; it may be income. My point was more that races don't agree on whether whites have societal advantages which is very serious if policies are based on that. Things like university admissions, scholarships, and job applications do not favor whites so this point is debatable I think. I would argue that being non white is a societal advantage, being white is a disadvantage now. Anti white racism is publicly acceptable.

Non white people may not care about "microaggressions" but I think for racial quotas at schools it is much less clear[1], polls seem to go back and forth. Polls aside, my point is that even if what you are saying is true, non white people support the party that discusses microaggressions and quotas overwhelmingly. Why should the polls be trusted? I believe there are certain liberal white elites who benefit from this but it's surely not just them and surely non white people are aware of what they are supporting. Another interpretation of this is just that there is indifference to radicalism or even varying degrees of support for radicalism.

WhatsApp blackberry developer here (2010-eol). We were pretty sure they wouldn’t let us into their store if we had started later, but they left us in since we were already there starting in 2009.

We did start to hit push service quotas. They quota by the app, not per user with the app. So we had a quota of 5 million pushes per day. Asked for more. Denied. We found some creative alternatives. PIN messaging was a surprisingly open API. So we ended up having currently connected devices send a PIN message to devices we want to bring online. The recipient device would delete the message to cut down on noise.
Social behaviour doesn’t imply intelligence, or at least conscious intelligence. Most ants will never reproduce. Their life has no meaning beyond the wellbeing of the colony. It make sense that what is statistically optimal for the ant is social behaviour.
Are you referring to Z and S pieces?
RIM was already completely fucked before WhatsApp was even invented. I went to a BlackBerry developer conference in San Jose a year after the iPhone was released and it was like a lynch mob. They were pissed that Apple's APIs were so good. Nobody wanted to develop apps for BlackBerry and these were the attendees at the BlackBerry developer conference!
Isn't it known for quite a few years now that these CNN networks (ResNet, VGG etc) trains well with FP16? The problem is that attention layer with softmax can have dynamic range higher than FP16 can handle hence you have to go to BF16? I am lost in what's the novelty here in this paper.
Are you agreeing the Earth is not a closed system?
Ok, so I agree with any ethics around how people are treated, but a corporation? All this does is squashes Wistron potential profit, no? Are there ethics around how much companies should profit? Should all companies profits be equal?

Both of these can be true, for better or worse, but the director is probably also over-reacting. It doesn't seem appropriate to fire somebody over that. Such a director probably has an unhealthy focus on image.

Two-party dominance has been a feature of the American political scene since before the Civil War - that is, for most of its existence. I wouldn't call that "current short-term circumstances".

It's also very hard to change because both major parties benefit from the existing system and are protective of it, knowing full well that proportional representation would cost them a lot of votes. Republicans usually trot out the old "but small states!" canard, while Democrats are getting creative and claiming that IRV and RCV are racist because e.g. "majority voting may seem innocuous, but if the vote is racially polarized, “runoffs discriminate against Blacks because they are a minority of the voters.”"

Given that Congress has the final say on how federal elections are run, I find it rather unlikely that this is going to change anytime soon - at least, not as long as federal politics is consumed almost entirely by polarization and voting against rather than for.
What are some alternatives to the constantly noisy slack for startups? I like the idea of low effort messages, but other than being extremely self disciplined there doesn't seem to be a great way to consume them in a reasonable, low interrupt way.
