All our Western press freedom ideas are hundreds of years out of date.

Back when this was written, things were very different. Heck even 30 years ago, things were very different.

The Enlightenment fathers seemed to have this ideal that well reasoned thoughts would somehow find their way to the top of decision making, if only we would let people speak their minds.

What they don't seem to have given much thought is how commercial interests influence what message goes out, the scale of distribution, and lately the changing nature of who gets to talk.

I don't know what the solution is, but I do think there's a problem.
From just tracking temperature it may not be clear we are seeing climate change or weather variations. There are also cycles in the climate, like El Niño, which cause temporary increases in temperature. So I do think tracking emissions, or rather actual level of CO2-equivalents, is a much more reliable indicator of 'how we are doing' on the longer term. The CO2e levels are (a) cause of temperature, so it is the latter which is derivative of the former. But mostly, emissions are what we are directly responsible for and can influence, temperature increase is just the result of that and we have no direct control over.

Obviously we measure and study both and they both matter so the point is somewhat moot.
Are you Microsoft?
I've built digital systems based on Fuzzy Logic in the US sometime in the mid 1990s. Fuzzy was good because it allowed us to implement very complex decision making (outcomes, classification...) on very, very basic hardware. It was, in all forms, a simplification of a neural net which was much harder to implement hardware-wise.

Fuzzy didn't go very far because it could already be implemented back then with cheap processors (we had Moore's law!) and some slap-on programming. Or domain-specific logic hardwired by engineers who knew what the outcome should be given a bunch of inputs: think "balancing robot" or washing machine torque control.

Modern ML and powerful Arduinos make fuzzy logic irrelevant today, except that Markov chains should also be irrelevant but they aren't, so who knows, maybe fuzzy could stage a come back. Despite its huge limitations, FL certainly is better than current neural nets when it comes to transparency so that humans can better visualize what it's doing. Disclaimer: back in the day I built a "FL tracker" in Visual Basic so that you could visualize the full system trickle-down a decision in realtime and it was very enlightening. Today I'd love to build the same visualizaer but for LLM generation!
OpenAI could ‘cease operating’ in EU if it can’t comply with regulation
> As motivation for why P != NP, one can think of it as a finite restatement of the Halting Problem

That's a really poor motivation. Analogically, you can think of the NP question as solving a polynomial equation over Z_2. What you're arguing is that because for Z the problem is unsolvable (due to DPRM theorem), then for Z_2, we have to try all the solutions.

That argument fundamentally ignores that the source of unsolvability is the infinite nature of Z.

For the record, I believe that P=NP (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35729626). I wish people spend more time looking for polynomial algorithm using logic approach, as I am doing (trying to extend the 2SAT and XORSAT proof to 2XSAT). This approach could give new algorithms that actually compose and can be paralelized (DIMACS is a really awkward representation).
Reading comments here about Tesla Y. And my impression is that the build quality and everything got substantially better over the years.
Emotions are good. I disagree with everyone telling you to ignore your emotions. We're wired to remember emotional moments and to forget when we're indifferent. Most of the criticism I didn't fix wasn't because it was too emotional, it was because I couldn't care. If something sucks, at least there's a better chance you'll learn the lesson. Stay angry but make sure you learn the lesson.

You need to instead translate the criticism into something actionable. Always have in the back of your mind the question what to do different and when. And when responding to people, remember to respond in a way that they will want to criticize you again (it's ok to argue, but not ok to turn it back into something personal).

I don't try to control my anger at all. You're missing out on all the evolutionary benefits of sharpened memory in important situations. Stay nice and be angry with people instead of at people. Make sure they don't take it personally.
The book has ducted props (which is where the distinctive noise comes from, a unexpected resonance from the length of the duct), the movie substituted MHD for the impeller.
I am not sure where to check this, but I was talking about Luxury cars, not size. In my definition a luxury car is a car that is probably double or more in price then a non luxury car, because of branding and luxury features like luxury interior features, chrome and other shiny stuff on exterior, super fancy design that changes each year. Decent EVs are still expensive and an unknown here in Romania.
OpenAI seem to be saying that it will need to cease operating if people expect it to follow basic ethical guidelines?

Empty threat from both sides.

OpenAI won't leave EU. The market and influence is too big to give up. EU won't create regulation that disallows all LLMs or nerf them into something that can't compete with the rest of the world. The technology is too disruptive to give up.
I guess it's easier with problems that don't destroy their own launch pad if something goes wrong.
The kids case is one where camera has a clear benefit I'd say. Even if you have clear visibility to the rear window, you just can't see anything below the window height. And anyone coming from the sides you'd not see through the rear window either - but a very open vehicle might be a tad better through the side windows? Although with cameras being added to side mirrors or vehicle corners (and large screens!), that can also be expanded.
Hooks were introduced five years ago and have been stable since then. So that's half a decade with no changes to the API.
Yeah, it kind of was that as well. That Saab ended up with GM didn't help neither. For some reason GM is pretty good in ruining their international brands. Ford almost did as well, but kept Jaguar alive long enough for them being saved by Tata Motors.
sudo isn't exclusively for root privileges. I've set up generic users with complex home/config setups where the script itself was rather simple but relied on a lot of the environment.

also, sudo can be used to explicitly whitelist certain commands, so "killall processname" can work, but "rm - rf" wont. If you run the whole script as root, everyone who can edit can introduce a footgun.
People stay in jobs long after they should leave.
Unbelievable that it lags so much. I can't trust that this design system is any good, if even their main page has such terrible UX.
Yes, we expect increased some degree of photosynthesis. However, we hardly expect to see an proportionate increase of photosynthesis (or plant mass?) - if nothing else, we'd expect there to still be a bottleneck from nitrogen.
The catch here is that P vs NP talks about worst-case behavior. Many SAT solver inputs can be solved quickly with good heuristics, but there are some that are still difficult no matter what you do. One way to see this is via the phase transition behavior of SAT.

If you have too few constraints it's easy to find a solution to the problem. If there are too many constraints it's also easy to show there are no solutions. But in the middle there's a sweet spot in the ratio of constraints to variables that's when the problem becomes fiendishly difficult.
There’s a bit more to the story than just harmonic overtones.

If you stack fifths on top of each other you also get the major pentatonic scale, like going from noon to 4 o’clock on the circle of fifths.

If you keep going around you basically spell out the major scale, other than the sharp 4, and this is the foundation of Russell’s Lydian chromatic scale.

The 5/3 ration of the fifth note (A in the C major pentatonic scale) is already evidence that there is some kind of stacked tonality.

So yes, it is still physics, but there is definitely a level of complexity above just simple ratios against a root note!

You can take the harmonic series farther up, specifically in the range between the 8th and 16th overtones, and get a scale that is very close to containing the major pentatonic, close to a C7#4, but it sounds a little off outside of equal temperament!
If you work or worked at a startup, wouldn’t you want to leave a positive review regardless of your experience in order to increase the odds of your equity being worth anything?

You generally don’t need to replace the battery of an EV during it’s life time.
There are alot of threads about X where there are kinda probable insiders writing lame positive stuff about the X thing. Like "that is really cool" or interested leading questions about it, when there is no way people here would naturally write it in such an optimistic manner.
You could reduce to 2XSAT and presolve the linear portion. That would paralelize. I think people are not doing it because they are not aware of the reduction.
People buy stuff because of the brand. Literally nothing else matters for a large section of the market.
By "silently steal" I'm talking about the fixed rate mortgage at 6% when rates have dropped to 5.25%. Not enough difference to refinance and might be another few years before it is. Yes of course it is a gamble as rates could rise but from about 1982 to 2021 -- almost 40 years -- the trend has been downward almost the entire time. But that's many millions of homeowners paying a lot of extra hundreds of dollars (in interest, not principal) every month for many, many months.

This still doesn't mean ARMs are "better", just different.
If you're talking about dealing with the stress of a problem unanswered, my counter-intuitive go-to strategy is to think of the worst possible outcomes of me not coming up with a solution. When I think of clear consequences and realize I can deal with them (even if they are unpleasant) and it takes the edge off so I can think more clearly. The consequences are rarely world-ending, after all.

As for strategies for finding solutions for complex/potentially unsolvable problems:

- Try to sketch it out. When thinking about complex problems, we tend to spiral and sometimes they seem too abstract when contained in our heads, putting them to paper makes them more comprehensible and less overwhelming. Even if you can't sketch out the whole problem, better understanding parts of it makes it easier to understand the whole

- Explain it to someone else. Aside from the benefit of the rubber duck approach, talking it out with people with different backgrounds and cognitive processes helps you look at it differently. Maybe you're a deep narrow thinker and someone who is a shallow wide thinker will help you se the whole picture or vice versa

- Can you break it up into smaller components? If yes, great! Even if you don't solve all the components, you'll still end up with a smaller problem then you started with. And solving some parts of it may change it all together.

- Review the context and everything surrounding the problem. My colleague recently mentioned that when they get a ticket for an issue, they often end up fixing or upgrading a completely different part of the system than the one where issue occurs, and that issue just falls into place
I assume you're not in the US since your pricing is totally out of place with most US consumer spending on vehicle maintenance. $50 for an oil change is about right, but every other year? Even Americans who don't drive that often will generally change it about every 6 months.

Not to mention things like tires have a lifespan. Even if they aren't worn out, most tires are not meant to be used for longer than around 5 years. As the rubber ages, its composition changes and it does not perform to the rated specifications. Even cheap tires are $100/ea for everything larger than a subcompact economy car. $400 for tires, divided by 5 years; you get the idea.

Car ownership in America does not need to be expensive, but it's nothing like the European mentality.

I took my car to a mechanic for an unrelated issue and asked them to change the oil and check fluids while they had it in the shop (I bought it about 6 months earlier) and they called to tell me they weren't going to change it because it wasn't necessary and had paperwork to prove it. This was in the Netherlands in a small town. But here I drive my car 50km a week vs 50km a day when I lived in the US.
I have not seen any pedestrian who cares to look at vehicles unless crossing in illegal place. Also it requires time to be understandable for at least majority of people. And who knows, probably Americans will combine this frontal brake light with something else like turning lights which is going to become a completely mess.

But at least it fits well with an idea of firing a brake light by achieving with a certain value of deacceleration.

Like if leaving a positive review on glass door has any meaningful effect on your equity
In my experience if you can find a topic most bad reviews talk about and all positive reviews avoid (or directly contradict), it is probably true. Whether you find this an issue is something you can then decide for yourself.
Two economists were walking down the street. One saw a dog s*t on the ground, and told the other: “If you eat that, I’ll give you thousand dollars.” Other guy looked at it, thought “It’s bad, but I’ll get $1000”, and ate it. His friend paid him, although he still regretted it because it was really bad. After some time, they encountered another dog s*t. This time the guy who ate it before offered $1000 for eating it to his friend. He accepted, thinking “I’ll gain the $1000 I lost”. He ate it and got paid. After some time, they stopped for a while, and one said to other, “I feel like we just ate dog s*t for nothing”, the other replied “Oh, come on! We just contributed to the GDP by $2000, it was not for nothing!”
Thanks! I don't think MariaDB offers the former but it's good to know this exists and I may want to look elsewhere. This isn't the only thing I ran into with MariaDB, but I'm also hesitant to subscribe to maintaining another service into eternity when the existing database has done fine for everything (more than a decade of projects) up until this project. If I had to redo it, I'd definitely try this out though to see if it's worth it! And at work it's also a different equation. So it's useful info :)

The latter, I considered but didn't think would cut the time by more than half whereas it would need an order of magnitude or more speedup to be useful. Doing a full table scan and caching the result for certain zoom levels was the solution for me.
Yes, ignore all ratings and read the review content. You can spot pain points, such as missing remote-flexibility, or bad incentives, or impossible deadlines, or bad equipment, or lousy onboarding, micromanagement, meetings late in the day, racism (like in Tesla factories)..

Reading reviews helps you understand what you should pay attention to. You might take some things for granted that the company completely violates.

You can then use your knowledge to ask specific questions during the job interview. Like: "What's your remote work policy and please put 5 days at home in my contract." Or you could spot the open office with old computers.

As Tolstoy put it: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" And it's up to you to spot a specific unhappiness at any given company.
I almost exclusively use it with quantifiers which makes it equivalent to FOL. But even without quantifiers, theory combinations can introduce undecidability.

There’s the auxiliary problem that decidable but slow can often be equivalent to undecidable.

Triangles over circles? YouTuber builds funky cycle with special wheels
For what is worth, I haven't had much contact with technology in the last couple of years and things might have changed. My comment was based on my last experience where GPON by design was asymmetric and if you wanted symmetric speeds you would need an MC on both ends of the fiber, hence de "active equipment" need. And then from the MC to a router or whatever you had there.

On the other hand, more than 300Mbps upload is quite ok even with heavy video conferencing and what not.
When you get to large numbers Chinese gets a little bit more complicated because the language operates in 10^4 not 10^3. I've found it often causes confusion.

Glassdoor has become pretty much useless as a source, especially salaries and now reviews
Applying All Recent Innovations to Train a Code Model
Surely a simple solution here is for Glassdoor to show removed reviews with a simple placeholder text and a reason for removal.

Glassdoor could also account for these in its overall rankings, and show a graph plotting number of removals against time. That way companies legitimately removing invalid reviews can continue to do so, but those gaming the system would have that activity show up. If they plotted submitted reviews as well you could see when these periods of mass removals and "forced" positive reviews happened.

Glassdoor could also provide a short summary of "X reviews removed in the last Y days - this is lower/higher/inline with the average".

All of this is easily within the power of Glassdoor to do and keeps the platform fair for both parties.

It's nothing more than an anecdote, but I can't help but correlate the fact that I was diagnosed with colon cancer in late 2016.

> Grandma: “They aren’t allowed to lie on the news so that has to be true.”

That's the problem with Boomers and earlier generations. They grew up (in the US) with first the Mayflower and then the Fairness Doctrine that forced at least some basic ethics standards, and with a media portfolio that didn't consist of a few very rich people and companies controlling wide swaths of media (Fox, Sinclair, Murdoch come to my mind), leading to actual competition between media, high quality journalism and actually well paid journalists.

They didn't realize that the landscape has changed - there are no media standards anymore, there is no antitrust enforcement anymore, hell Carlson got away with his antics because a court ruled that a "reasonable viewer" would be skeptic towards his claims [1] despite it being more than obvious that Carlson's audience eat up everything he spouts as pure truth.

Lot's of good comments already. I personally needed to shift my mind regarding written messages. When I receive feedback in written form and I think the other person has ill will, I perceive the text as angry written and a personal attack.

When I started checking with others how they interpret it, they always saw it as neutral or constructive. So my assumption of the senders state of mind, influenced the way I perceived the feedback text.

For me it really helped to "baseline" with others and/or often just ask the sender what the intention of the criticism was. Get into an analytical state of mind and figure-out what the intent behind the criticism is. If could be that it's made with the best intentions and can help you get better at what you do.

No, they're often not. Many struggle to ever make a profit.
MHD is nothing new though, so if it has not yet replaced propellers I'm guessing it is because of practical issues like corrosion, electrolysis and so on alluded to in the article that DARPA seems to have found solutions for but which are not going to be available for the general public for obvious reasons.

Also it's all electric so it poses the usual problems like the added complexity of an on-board electric generator or the added weight and cost of a battery system.
It's not meant to be patronizing, it's just a fact that people who spend a bunch of time reading about tech are going to hear about things before people who don't.

It also makes sense that reviews would have signal. It's not like people are dumb, they were just born in an earlier world where reviews would actually have some reputation attached to them. Movies, restaurants, concerts, that kind of stuff would be reviewed by someone capable of writing and filtered through a newspaper editor.

Now things have changed and it takes some time for everyone to figure it out.
