> Weird. He was nominated by a Liberal administration and found no wrongdoings in the actions of... a Liberal administration!

This was a public inquiry that was participated in by members of all major parties. [0]

> By who? Who nominates those people?

The leader of the party in power at the time, which historically alternates between Liberals and Conservatives. In lifetime appointments. Generally, though, the nominations aren't aligned with any federal parties, and the senate has its own political parties. You can learn more about the Senate here. [1]

> Weird. He was nominated by a Liberal administration and found no wrongdoings in the actions of... a Liberal administration!

A Liberal minority that can be dissolved at any time. An important point you keep ignoring. [2]

> And nominated by?

The PM. Not beholden to the PM - and they aren't re-appointed after 4 years. Of course, the PM can't remove them. An exit from this post can only occur through death or incapacitation, resignation, or if removed by the King. [3]

> So weird to read that a foreign, non-elected person can have such a big impact. Feels completely alien.

Charles III is King of Canada - among many other titles - and therefore not a foreigner. [4] Canada has its own independent monarchy. Note that in fact any commonwealth citizen is not considered a foreigner in the UK - a commonwealth citizen with permanent residency in the UK can vote, hold public office and join the UK armed forces.

You wanted someone with oversight who isn't beholden to anyone and suddenly they don't count because you don't like it and it feels 'alien.' Much of their power is ceremonial and as I indicated, if they did reject legislation it would likely trigger a constitutional crisis.

I'm done covering grade 10 civics with someone who has made up their mind on something they have no understanding of. It's playing chess against someone playing hopscotch.

Respectfully you're just asking me to spell out the absolute basics of Canadian government. You can simply ask Google things like 'who appoints Canadian senators.'

Should we stop public funding of education? It feels like that monetary link is what provokes governments to interfere.
My statement was in regard to the posters overall philosophy on equity and not any particular DEI program.

I would agree that most would probably fail that test, does they mean we need blanket bans on equity programs or more effective ones?
The issue with slavery is that the children of slaves and victims of racism are still affected by it economically.

I consider myself middle-of-the-road on most of this stuff, but if everything were fair there'd be an equivalent wealth distribution when comparing races. There's not.

Ergo, it's kind of like the British plundering everyone's stuff, sticking it in the British Museum, then declaring "We're done with all that racism stuff, but we're keeping all this stuff that's ours."
I suspect that OpenAI is not releasing their image reading capability shown in the demo because it will break all captchas
So you want to hurt the people you dislike, and (presumably) help the people you like.

That's fine, but please understand that some of us believe it's worth having principles. We think it's better for society and humanity if people think above the dislike=hurt/like=help dichotomy.
Microsoft's captchas are pretty horrendous too. I gave up on them and did the audio captchas also, just like in the video.

I agree completely.

We were asleep when Russia took Crimea, and unprepared to react with anything more than stern words. We were not ready for Putin. He obviously saw the opportunity, took the risk, and he won.

It would be tragic to return to a world where aggressive expansionism is the norm.

But fighting back through Crimea would be tragic also. And it's not clear we would have the support of the locals. That's courting disaster even before you contemplate that the opposing leader is mercurial and nuclear.

My opinion is that we have to take the L on Crimea, but make it clear that the world is not sleeping any more, and that Ukraine is not next on the menu.

Syria is an important example. US bluster doesn't carry much weight in the world these days.

But the situation in Ukraine is very different. It astonishes me that there's political disagreement on Russia's aggression toward neighbors, but if we fail Ukraine it will be squarely the fault of one group of people, and it will be incredibly damaging to US interests in the world.
Personally I couldn't even get it to draw me a regular pentagon in CSS. It was happy to draw hexagons and call them pentagons. It was even happy to go back and fix its mistakes when I informed it that it was making hexagons, not pentagons.

It, of course, readily accepted that I was correct and it had indeed drawn a hexagon, but this time it'd be different.

This time, it'd draw a pentagon.

And... repeat.
Considering the affirmative action weights for college applicants, wouldn't meritocracy favour asians? Or is there another reason they get pushed so much down by the policies?

earn enough money so that you can afford to lose, then start losing!

losing is fun, and is the best way to learn.

winners all do the same thing, losers all do different things.

if you’re not regularly losing, you’re probably not doing anything interesting or challenging.

also, if you can afford to lose, you can afford disinterest in the judgment of others.

It's practically impossible that the world has changed so much in the last 6-12 months to warrant such jump in valuation.

No need to have to grow all their own food, any kind of a supplement at all is a positive.

Plenty of single family dwellings with grass yards.

And time commitments/work involved? I guess they aren't serious about climate change. This just reinforces my original point. Screeching about climate change but unwilling to do any of the work or make any _real_ sacrifices.

It only takes a few hours a week to operate a backyard garden that produces more than even a large family can consume.

I am in support of this, which falls squarely under equality of opportunity.
This seems sloppy too. Is this based on anything scientifically rigorous? Where I live even startups will take on less profit for a quarter to train new graduates who have never touched an IDE on purpose. The point of training a junior isn’t to be immediately competitive. It’s to take over your job as you move on to other roles.

worse CPR doesn't do what people think it does

CPR is not a live saving measure, it's a temporary live extension if it's not followed up with other measurements it's likely to not save a live. And that's assuming it does work, and is done correctly.

but anyway it gives people another chance at live they most likely wouldn't have had otherwise
It cost me $7.61 to build this library[0] using GPT-4, much more than the direct cost of tokens required to reimplement the library.

The majority of the cost was the large context windows being proxied back and forth to OpenAI from my local machine, rather than just the additional code with each new message. Also, I had no idea how to do what I was doing, so even if I could tell GPT-4 exactly what to build, I wasn't even sure it was possible!

It'll be curious what attracting and retaining professors for political hot-button topics becomes like for Texas, but I expect making it harder to find faculty to teach some subjects was part of the intent...
If the programs are based on race instead of eg. financial status, access to education, etc., then yeah, banning them would help little white Bobby from a trailer park, because he currently can't get that help because of his skin color.
It is because, especially in tech, most people can't even vocalize what they want to the detail that an AI could generate it. Even in my day-job (which is probably similar to yours), most people give me the wrong information when asking for a solution and if I blindly built what they think they needed, they wouldn't get where they wanted.
Your analogy would only be valid for a bug that made impersonating a site easier somehow, which this one didn't.
One thing I have to say about this is that the fact they did this with a bunch of Python code is probably a huge part of why it didn't go well. Abstracted Python code drives me crazy because, in part because of the dynamic and typed nature of Python, the support is so poor for then navigating around it afterwards.

Compare to Java and with single keystrokes I can navigate up the type hierarchy and bring up a full display of every class implementing an interface. With a couple more keystrokes I can rename a function in the base class and update all the implementors, globally across hundreds of thousands of lines of code. And in Eclipse this happens nearly instantly with 100% fidelity (I assume in other IDEs too). I can move around the codebase with so much ease. As soon as I hit Python code like this I'm completely lost.

I see people complaining all the time about IDEs (if you need an IDE then your code is bad) and then also about design patterns and abstraction and I do see a connection in that yes, if you need to scale complexity there is a fundamental aspect of that whereby you need a more structured approach to how you are building things and the underlying tools that are supporting that.
Well there's http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/ansifilter/en/ansifilter.php for the latter. But it doesn't do direct screenshots. So one would have to find something else that would take the terminal emulator's display grid and, ironically, turn it back into a sequence of characters, escapes, and control sequences.
The main one was https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR, mostly because, as promised, it was pretty easy to use, and uses pytorch (which I preferred in case I wanted to tweak it). It has been updated since, but at the time it was using CRNN, which is a solid model, especially for the time - it wasn't (academic) SOTA but not far behind that. I'm sure I could've coaxed better performance than I got out of it with some retraining and hyperparameter tuning.
I hope the situation gets resolved swiftly, and lessons learned from this incident can contribute to stronger and more reliable DNSSEC practices in the future.
Sometimes even worse. The adblock hides them but the site is frozen and broken until you disable the plugin and interact with the cookie notification. At least with banners in the past you became blind to them. Now you're forced to interact with the popups.
> It's hard to imagine the flag flown at the UN being done as a rush job from a Wikipedia article.

I imagine, given enough time, graphical equivalent of citogenesis[0] might kick in. Even assuming that, and that in a hypothetical reality, the Internet somehow confused both the UN and Vatican officials as to what the Vatican flag was, at some point you're better off just making it official and letting kids 50 years later have a laugh when learning about it on history lessons.

Why would anyone be happy with atrocities being committed at people by the government? Do you like such stuff?
Why should I, as a taxpayer, want to my government to subsidize this research? I haven’t seen anything useful come out of high energy particle physics in decades.

This is an honest question, not a troll.

I see lots of spin-off technologies coming out of other “big science”. Consider space programs. We see materials technology coming out of space programs. I can even see the PR value in the space program as it appeals to our imagination and sense of exploration. I can even buy into the “time to make sure all our eggs aren’t in one basket” theory of Musk et al for colonization of other planets. And I love that companies are commercializing it rather than leaving it just to governments.

But as a layperson, high energy particle physics seems like (figuratively and literally) pouring money down large holes to satisfy the curiosity of a few researchers. While it’s mildly interesting it’s practically inscrutable and very hard to connect to anything that normal people care about.
haha. they don't get all this delishus Kool aid that is to die for!

I know my good good friend Conservative Fearless Leader will never let me go to jail or die of preventable disease or banish my rites when I want defending.

Input's and other side effects are not too tricky to handle.

In most cases, you just slice the program to isolate pure computation, and just optimize that.

Most traditional compiler optimizations stick to that as well, the exceptions to this rule are carefully engineered.

Sort of. CPR classes are divided into, at least, "CPR" and "BLS". Your basic CPR class may be a hands-only training, but the BLS classes still include rescue breathing and AED use, along with infant care.

Guitar Making as a Life’s Work
I think if you ask people what happiness is I agree, they'll come up with a different set of things. But if ask them if they are happy, they will reflect on how much worse their life could be and they'll largely see that in terms of how they perceive the rest of society around them. They will feel very guilty saying they are unhappy if they think they are actually better off than most other people are. So I agree with you but still think this effect will have an impact.
Agree. I'd just rather people say "Dude has 3 billion dollars" rather than "Dude is worth 3 billion dollars".
Also, being able to split things across pages with almost zero extra overhead in navigation time and bundle time makes it way easier to structure big, complicated sites or web apps.
If your browser ignored all certificate errors, you'd have a real security problem. That's not at all the case for DNSSEC: it's possible that all of the DNSSEC root keys could hit Pastebin and nobody would really need to be paged.
Sure, past some threshold HN goes down, and at that point there is a (big) difference between the logged-in and logged-out experience. My point is that, the rest of the time, there is not, whereas for Wikipedia, the logged-in experience is always significantly worse than the logged-out experience. This encourages people to not log in which is a problem.
Arm chair physicist however I know how this data is analyzed, so I have something to say:

I think there's a better and perhaps clearer to understand interpretation here:
All particles have an invariant mass, inherent to the particle itself, and a momentum, which is, roughly related to velocity in matter and frequency in photons (but not quite!). These together determine the energy a particle has.

Some particles are long-lived and some are short-lived. The Higgs boson is short-lived. In these collisions, it really does exist for a period of time, however, it decays to smaller particles with an total energy that equals the energy of the original Higgs boson. The ATLAS detector detects these long-lived stable particles.

The phenomenon you are attempting to explain is particle decay (why the Higgs boson decays into other particles). I never heard of inter-field energy dissipation as a cause for particle decay, but it seems really interesting. However, I don't really understand what "inter-field energy dissipation" means. They are all very theoretical terms to me.

I am comfortable with hand-waving it as "particles decay because they decay, because that's the way the laws of physics work, and it's allowed because the resulting state is of higher entropy". It seems like it is a phenomenon that is very hard to explain.
Fortunately, New Zealanders benefit from all of the problems solved by DNSSEC.

Well, then be so kind as to enlighten me about those important android devices that aren't mobile phones and are in urgent need of DHCPv6.

And what might those other aspects of DHCPv6 be? That it is an ugly misdesign that doesn't even do what DHCPv4 does? That e.g. MAC-address-based address distribution is against the DHCPv6 spec and either a broken oversight or a design flaw? That DUIDs are either a privacy nightmare or useless crap? Which use cases should I consider there, pray tell...

"meritocracy" doesn't exist. "merit" is a purely objective social construct, contingent on political, cultural and racial hierarchies designed to favor the status quo - which in the US is the power of white upper class Christian men. It will simply be used as a means of justifying entrenched power structures and prejudice.

Because what people who object to DEI and equality programs always claim is the problem is too many minorities and too many women - the implication that minorities and women systemically don't deserve equal status to whites and men, and that in a fair system, they wouldn't have it.
It does apply to all torrents. As far as I know, by default torrent trackers provide no facilities for hole punching.

However, if you have a tracker in a sense of "community of people dedicated to file sharing", there will be guides on how to do a proper setup even behind carrier-grade NAT. For example, one of the trackers I know suggested using Teredo (IPv6-to-IPv4) tunneling to do the hole punching.

DEI isn’t only focused on race. And even if so, if there are more statistically distributed poor people of one race getting by than another, that is a problem.

I agree with you on TS being unsound. Flow on the other hand strove for soundness, as does Hack. Unfortunately TS dominated thanks to good strategy and some better ergonomics for open source (which were not a focus for FB).

Rust is more ML than Flow or Hack because of traits (type classes? Not sure what ML calls them or if it even has them, Haskell does). But it’s a vastly different language otherwise, so I think the “other languages have learned from ML” is more accurate description of what’s happened.

Some people write JS/TS in the ML style (point-free), but it’s not by far the most popular way. TC-39 came around to Hack-style pipelines for the same reason. For me the stylistic difference is a crucial indicator of preferences and priorities. Haskell’s operator “overuse” lives in a similar world.
