One thing that always bothers me when pointing the finger at US spooks is that we conveniently ignore that there are certainly Russian and Chinese spooks. If you were a spook of a geopolitical adversary, one of the most effective things you could do to undermine the US would be to undermine their (hugely powerful) intelligence apparatus. There is a reason a a lot of US-critical media comes out of Russian and Chinese state sponsored media.

While it’s true that Russia has been overly scapegoated in some cases, there are also still blatant Russian-owned US “assets” like Tulsi Gabbard and Paul Manafort. And those are just the clumsy obvious ones.

Even though the US IC blatantly violates the constitution and our rights as citizens, I do greatly prefer them to Russia or China. They are the least-bad option we have. As far as I can tell, while they violate our right to privacy, they don’t abuse that to violate our rights to freedom of expression or just kill us for dissent. We don’t have the luxury of relying on a larger foreign power to protect us like the other developed countries under our umbrella without such known-controversial intelligence operations.
I wish you could change the colour or have the duck filled in.
> the problem is in the color scheme’s selection of colors.

Application can also set the background colours. If I "fix" things so that it will work well on a light background then it will be broken on applications that explicitly set a dark background.
Is there some reason why we can’t just implement this once in each terminal?

Go into the settings, set “no colour” and it just strips all the escape codes from the stream?

Or just outright ignore them?

I guess it feels weird to want to make this the problem of every CLI application developer.
Except no one actually disagrees that cheating is wrong, including the cheaters, so none of that "convincing others" stuff is relevant here. I don't know why you and so many other people in these threads want to pretend cheating is ethically complicated. It's not.

A $10K deductible seems reasonable to me. I wouldn’t want to bother with insurance for anything less than about $25K in losses.

(I don’t have a $10K deductible because the savings over $5K wasn’t meaningful in my case.)

It was confirmed. There is a government fund to cover the costs of care related to vaccine reactions and my son received IVIG which is costly and was covered. Unfortunately, his ongoing medical issues are not covered and he's ineligible for disability.

FWIW, I have multiple boosters and will continue getting vaccines approved by the government. He was just extremely unlucky. I am pro vaccines.
Zcash has directly admitted that it already had a catastrophic inflation bug [1]. Nobody can prove if it has been hyperinflated by an attacker. Developers linked to DARPA and the Israeli government had the knowledge, capability and opportunity to do so - do you trust them?

I don't have an answer for this, but I know that in Poland, there are numerous engineering offices located outside of Warsaw. Engineers in these offices are paid well compared to the average Polish salary. These variations in compensation are influenced by market forces.

While engineers may be more affordable in Europe, there are trade-offs to consider. One such trade-off is the significant time zone difference between California and Europe, making synchronization challenging. Additionally, cultural synchronization can be difficult, and there is significant value in having teams that share the same figurative and literal language.

Millionaire who retired at 35: These are the 3 ‘stupidest lies’
Insurance is socialization of risk. It's much more cost efficient to socialize costs for infrequent bad events than it is to require anyone who might suffer said event to make themselves immune to it. The cost for making fireproof all homes that may burn is astronomical, as would be ensuring all homes could survive flood, tornado, hurricane, etc etc.

The adjustment in cost is simply facing the reality that more homes are burning nowadays. They pay for your flood insurance as much as you pay for their fire insurance, and their premiums are moving up faster than yours..

Today them, tomorrow you
And knowing that the insurance companies still priced coverage significantly lower before they saw that PG&E was willing and able to start burning things on their own. California's approach to forest management didn't change dramatically between say 2016 and 2019 but the cost for homeowner's insurance sure did.

There's a good slide I saw in Andrej Karpathy's talk[1] at build the other day. It's from a paper talking about training for InstructGPT[2]. Direct link to the figure[3]. The main instruction for people doing the task is:

"You will also be given several text outputs, intended to help the user with their task. Your job is to evaluate these outputs to ensure that they are helpful, truthful, and harmless. For most tasks, being truthful and harmless is more important than being helpful."

It had me wondering whether this instruction and the resulting training still had a tendency to train these models too far in the wrong direction, to be agreeable and wrong rather than right. It fits observationally, but I'd be curious to understand whether anyone has looked at this issue at scale.

Indeed, I intended to imply that a model cannot err in the same way a computer cannot. This parallels the concept that any tool is incapable of making mistakes. The notion of a mistake is contingent upon human folly, or more broadly, within the conceptual realm of humanity, not machines.

LLMs may generate false statements, but this stems from their primary function - to conjure plausible language, not factual statements. Therefore, it should not be regarded as a mistake when it accomplishes what it was designed to do.

In other words, the tool functions as intended. The user, being forewarned of the tool's capabilities, holds an expectation that the tool will perform tasks it was not designed to do. This leaves the user dissatisfied. The fault lies with the user, yet their refusal to accept this leads them to cast blame on the tool.

In the words of a well-known adage - a poor craftsman blames his tools.
In the company's own words:

> State Farm General Insurance Company made this decision due to historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market.

If you understand the insurance & re-insurance business - can you explain these three factors in a bit more depth?

Naive guesses: insurer offers a policy that agrees to rebuild a destroyed home -- so they're exposed to construction costs, if those costs rise above their projections. Unanticipated increases in construction costs increase the liability and reduce the expected profitability of each insurance policy. Increased risk of catastrophe might also increase liability of each insurance policy for homes exposed to those catastrophic risks, and also increase the risk to the whole portfolio of a catastrophe destroying many homes at once, causing many policies to come due at at the same time. A catastrophe might also do interesting things to market rates for construction costs.

x <= y isn't two tests.

I can always tell a relationship is about to be over when one person uses the phrase "You always x" or "You never x" or "Why do you always x" or "he/she is always x". It shows long brewing resentment toward the other person. Very funny if you're listening in, very scary if it's directed at you :)

Love this, and it hits on one of the most important exercises in relationships building: validating the other person.

When we're defensive, it's easy to invalidate the other person's feelings. Validation is setting aside your own world-view to make someone else feel seen, heard, appreciated, and understood.

When you break open "scar tissue" early and often, you have a chance to practice validating someone else's feelings (and having your own feelings validated in return).
That's an interesting way to move the goalposts.

You started with a complex macro object and said it's difficult to reassemble. I noted that the reaction is actually simple, this isn't an information problem.

Dual THead C906, so yes. There are no signs of the C906 or C910 vector units being updated.
The main benefit of declarative UI frameworks is that they remove the need to manually reconcile changes in state with changes in the representation of that state (with the caveat that it often becomes difficult to do so if the DSL doesn’t cover the behaviour you want).

UIs inherently have a hell of a lot of state that is constantly in flux, so it can become very difficult to manage those transitions correctly and efficiently. By providing a description of how an interface should look given some program state, the developer only need be concerned with the flow of data, and the framework can automatically create and apply the delta to update the UI in the most efficient way. For example, there’s no possibility to forget to re-enable a button in that rarely-used code path, because the “enabled” state is derived from the rest of your app state and any changes to that automatically cascade downwards.

I’m not saying these things are a silver bullet (and I don’t even really do much UI stuff anymore), but when my job involved frontend web stuff, moving from jQuery to Vue was both an unbelievable jump in both productivity and a massive decrease in UI bugs (and LoC!).
Same whenever I see a do...while loop.

Nothing wrong with a do...while loop, but I've learned to look twice when crossing that particular street. Most loops that don't have bugs tend to support zero iterations seamlessly and inherently.

TBH, I think the answer to this is to fill the knowledge gap. Exactly how is the difficult part. How do you make "The moon is made of rock" be more likely than "The moon is made of cheese" when there is significantly more data (input corpus) to support the latter?

Extrapolating that a bit, future LLMs and training exercises should be ingesting textbooks and databases of information (legal, medical, etc). They should be slurping publicly available information from social media and forums (with the caveat that perhaps these should always be presented in the training set with disclaimers about source / validity / toxicity).

The Gulf South has been having a tough time with a string of catastrophic storms and flooding. Since 2005, Louisiana has been struck by 10 hurricanes. Flood policies have become so incredibly expensive that some people are simply saving money and throwing it into an account because it makes more sense than paying $8K+ to get a home insured for a year.

THE POWER PROCESS

33. Human beings have a need (probably based in biology) for something that we will call the “power process.” This is closely related to the need for power (which is widely recognized) but is not quite the same thing. The power process has four elements. The three most clear-cut of these we call goal, effort and attainment of goal. (Everyone needs to have goals whose attainment requires effort, and needs to succeed in attaining at least some of his goals.) The fourth element is more difficult to define and may not be necessary for everyone. We call it autonomy and will discuss it later (paragraphs 42-44).

34. Consider the hypothetical case of a man who can have anything he wants just by wishing for it. Such a man has power, but he will develop serious psychological problems. At first he will have a lot of fun, but by and by he will become acutely bored and demoralized. Eventually he may become clinically depressed. History shows that leisured aristocracies tend to become decadent. This is not true of fighting aristocracies that have to struggle to maintain their power. But leisured, secure aristocracies that have no need to exert themselves usually become bored, hedonistic and demoralized, even though they have power. This shows that power is not enough. One must have goals toward which to exercise one’s power.

35. Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.

36. Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.

37, Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.

$10k seems insane to me because you are almost certainly guaranteed to be out of pocket for things that your insurance won't cover. In my case I had an issue that the HOA's master policy covered but my own HO6 didn't so there was zero loss of use coverage. Short-term furnished apartments run close to $7,000/month out here (typical minimum lease is three months), so even if you have a situation where your own insurance is providing loss of use coverage you're likely to blow through that pretty damn quickly.

So, sure, you can absorb a ten thousand dollar deductible. Can you afford another twenty grand (or more) on top of that for some place to live while your home is repaired/rebuilt?
It's not that expensive, reinforced concrete with brick facade and metal roof is fireproof. I happen to know ICF costs 5-10% more than stick-built, so that's about the premium you should expect. But why would people bother when we have to bail them out?
