There are 16 CHAdeMO charging points in the US.[1] Most of them on the New York Thruway between Albany and Buffalo. There are two in San Francisco and two in Marin County. That's it.

It has nothing to do with New Atheism. You will find just as much drama - if not more - in religious communities of all kinds.

I think it has more to do with social media culture, which seems perpetually hyped emotionally.

You can't release a press release without claiming to be absolutely super excited for you guys about $mildly_interesting_new_thing. You can't run a non-trivial YouTube or TikTok channel if you don't over-emote wildly all the time. [1] IG is full of people who are incredibly #amazed and #grateful and add the hashtags to prove it.

I'm currently watching a YT series where some people visit abandoned parts of London tube stations. There's an insane level of constant emoting. It's like children's TV. Everyone is smiling and happy and just fantastic, and everything they see is awesome, amazing, incredible, and absolutely their favourite thing ever.

Which is weird when they're mostly just filming dusty old abandoned corridors, some of which have some historical interest.

If this is normal for you, you can't say "I really don't like what happened so I'm going to resign" without turning it into a widescreen tentpole weepy drama movie experience.

However or whenever this happened it's clearly normalised now. I think we're going to be stuck with it for a while.

[1] I've known people who tried to cut down on the emoting and their stats went right down.

And an std lib that has all you need. And tooling that evolves in a direction of usefulness, not because it’s technically challenging.
So the argument is essentially that "not only if you pick the best thing fitting your finite data, but even if you take a weighted average over things that fit your finite data proportionally to how well they fit your finite data - you are still almost surely end up with something that fits your finite sample better than the general population (that this sample was drawn from)"?
True. The most recent videos of popular channels would be cached in multiple locations to improve latency, but rarely accessed videos would exist at only one (or two for redundancy) data center.
Of course cybersecurity can be solved... the solution was worked out in the 1970s, and there are commercially available secure systems. The Operating Systems most of us use daily, on the other hand, do not support multi-level security, nor the Bell-LaPadula model.

If we did use such systems, the user interface would be almost identical, but our applications would only be able to open the files we fed them, and not everything, by default. The world would be a much more secure place, but that would have made the NSA's job a lot harder, so such systems aren't talked about much.
Code that I can create during runtime. Ideally interactively.
It's one reason why I love channels that take the time to make meaningful playlists: they're in whatever order the channel decides, which is often oldest-first in the context of a regular series.
> There seems to be more consensus around 1 now than there was even 3 years ago

Yes, and that "consensus" is based almost entirely on the existence of stochastic parrots, that fall for prompt injection attacks, have no agency, and can easily be convinced into telling me that 7 + 4 = 5 if prompted correctly.

The point is, no we don't know if an artificial superintelligence is possible. We cannot even accurately define "intelligence", and thus don't even have a way of measuring or even estimating "how far" something is from a superset of that state, or if that superset exists at all.

Given all of that, we also have no way of knowing if 2) is the case if 1) is actually possible. Since we cannot really define "intelligence" or "superintelligence", how can we know if a superintelligence would be a threat? It could be completely useless. It could be like old dragons in some fantasy novels too busy contemplating highly philosophical problems for all eternity and never caring about the real world. It could be inherently self-destructive, vanishing as soon as it becomes active. Or it could use its vast smarts to fix the alignment problem. It could just output `+++ OUT OF CHEESE ERROR +++ REDO FROM START +++` for the rest of eternity for some unfathomable reasons. The point it, we don't know.

It’s the simplest model which can simulate all useful models of computation we have so far.

So, if you want to prove something about the limits of computation, a Turing machine is usually the right choice.
Should’t there be discussion about changing this number scheme?

According to Wikipedia the NNNN part is really NNGC. C is a checksum, giving NNG as a serial number with G even/odd for gender. Sweden seems to have ca. 115000 births per year, making 315 births per day. But those may not be evenly distributed. The available space or serial numbers seems awfully close.
Sure, my point wasn't that a browser-based product is automatically insecure, just that end-to-end encryption implemented in a browser has minimal security benefit. The whole point of E2EE is to avoid leaking data even if you do get hacked or have an employee go rogue despite your best efforts.

"even the server cannot read the values of secrets"

I have to disagree there. Your server can easily read the values of secrets--it just needs to include an extra snippet of JS in the response to a single request. You're asking users to trust that your server won't do this, but they have no practical way to verify it. That isn't the case for EnvKey, which is all I wanted to point out.

Please don't take it the wrong way--you have clearly built a product that has good UX and that people like and I congratulate you on that. Many users out there will probably prefer the tradeoffs you've made, while others will prefer EnvKey's. I think it's fair, in the spirt of friendly competition, to highlight where those differences are so that people can make up their own minds with an accurate understanding of the threat model of each approach.
You actually are going to synthesize _more_ vitamin D if you do fractionated exposure.

That's because vitamin D synthesis is an equilibrium reaction, UV drives backward and forward reactions. So you'll get more vitamin D if you expose your skin to the sun for a few minutes, then let the synthesized vitamin to diffuse out of the skin layer, and then expose yourself again.
It's also great because there's no way for you to dispute my claims of feeling uncomfortable / "unsafe", since these (alleged) feelings occur in my own head. No one can dispute my feelings. And if you're foolish enough to allow my (claimed) feelings to govern your behaviour I now have arbitrary control over you. Neat huh?
Your link doesn’t load for me. I’m talking about the contraction of depth when using focal lengths greater than 47mm and lengthening of it when using shorter focal lengths. I guess you can contract depth as well by walking backwards, but at this point your subject is so small you lost a lot of detail. Also, your subject may be gone by then.

If you choose to be mad at cnn/fox that is probably not irrational. Just dont go about blaming every media outlet for secretly cooperating with the goverment and question yourself first.
I was not living in the US then and i remember attending an anti irak war protest. The media info i got at the time was that the us policy was foolish and likely to destabilize the entire region. I guess the media here was right then.

I for myself thought getting rid of saddam and creating a democratic irak was desirable if not easily achievable- i was not sure what would be best to do.
Just put a god dang card reader on the charger and you win my loyalty. Oh great I need to install yet another app and make an account and put my credit card info in manually. Oh wait I don’t have any network.

As a business it’s basically a fancy electric plug. Unless someone can make a very nice lounge and charge membership or something I don’t see it being very profitable. I would pay some amount on road trips especially to have access to bathrooms, some drinks and snacks, comfy seats, TVs, etc while I charge a larger chunk
isn't this the hobbit/crisp core that was supposed to go in the newton?
If you want to learn languages, implementing a lisp interpreter is a great exercise, and lots of fun too. Every time I come across a new language I want to give a try, creating a lisp interpreter is one of the first things I do.

If you're curious but want a more language-agnostic guide, mal (Make a lisp) is a language+project that has a guide you can follow along with basically any language, and if you get stuck, you can look at already implemented versions in practically any language: https://github.com/kanaka/mal

Personal favorite implementations of mal: nasm (assembly) (https://github.com/kanaka/mal/tree/master/impls/nasm) and wasm (https://github.com/kanaka/mal/tree/master/impls/wasm)

mal has also been discussed many times on HN (which is probably how I came across it the first time too) for close to a decade by now: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=kanaka%2Fmal
There’s a tradeoff[1] throughout mathematics, not unlike the expressiveness—analyzability one in programming languages: either the set of things you’re working with has nice properties (e.g., for the reals, completeness) and supports nice constructions with no caveats (e.g., for the reals, limits); or each of the things in the set is individually nice and tractable (e.g. computable).

There isn’t a single universally appropriate choice here, and sometimes even the direction of the axis is not obvious (real numbers lack solutions for algebraic equations; complex numbers lack smooth functions nonzero only in a finite region), but usually a simple family of eldritch objects is easier to deal with than an byzantine clan of cuddly objects.

Could you do simple physics and more generally ordinary differential equations over the computable numbers? You probably could to some extent, but it’s unlikely you’d get the nice intuitive geometry you get over the reals (see e.g. Arnold’s ODE textbook). The (basic) geometry of surfaces parametrized by real coordinates is fairly straightforward (differential geometry); the geometry of surfaces parametrized by rational coordinates is famously mind-blowingly abstract (algebraic geometry). The (basic) theory of real or complex functions is mostly understandable (analysis); the theory of natural or rational functions is horrifying (number theory).

Also, as a sibling reply mentions, it’s not like computable numbers will solve every problem: even though arithmetic over them is decidable, order still isn’t, and computable transcendental functions aren’t exactly a cakewalk either.

It doesn’t mean the computable reals aren’t worth knowing about, but, well, we live in a world where mandatory education has violently rejected[2] every advance in mathematical thought since Otto von Bismarck left office, and reduced the ones it accepted to a desiccated husk[3], so there are a great many things in that category. (I cannot help but remember the SMBC patriotism vs nationalism comic[4]: “Now I am mathematics.”)

50mm on full frame camera is called a "normal lens" precisely because for most people it mimics their internal perspective / wordlview, so you're not alone:-)

Just look at any given phone specs and see if any of the cameras they offer are near "50mm equivalent" (you may have to dig because primary specs are usually useless - either the completely arbitrary "2x zoom" or the focal length on the specific sensor size such as "4.38mm" Which is true but not useful).

Most phones come with wide and ultra wide lenses. I'm with you and don't like those. Other phones come with zoom lenses of various focal lengths. Most of those on the other hand will overshoot Into 75mm and higher territory.

Worst case, grab a phone with great lens and sensor and zoom it in the store until you get 50mm equivalent... And see if that works.

Note though there may be many other subtle and subconscious things you like about that camera besides focal length of the lens : aperture, bokeh, vignetting, film type, specific aberrations, or even the feel in your hand and mechanics of the shutter and the optical viewfinder. It's certainly more FUN, for me personally, to take a photo with DSLR than an iPhone :-)
The simple answer is that either we pay for them using the money we would have spent on controlled burning, or we give away the grazing rights for free at least.

Most ranchers who do brush control grazing get paid for doing so. This is the opposite of the federal policy today, where ranchers have to pay for grazing rights on BLM land. Not to mention the fact that some places we used to graze sheep on like Yosemite or Sequoia National Parks have a blanket ban on commercial grazing.

Instead, what we have is wildlife conservation groups killing bills to expand grazing in CA. https://mountainlion.org/2021/04/29/ab434-california-state-p...
A few years ago I had an idea to try and solve halting problem for as many Brainfuck problems as possible, using a few simple heuristics. (To make things easier I picked a dialect with 1 byte cells that weren't allowed to over- or underflow.)

I managed to solve all BF programs up to length 12. The longest running but stopping short program that I've found was this: >+[>++>+++[-<]>>], it stopped after 9212 steps.

Interesting paper. I agree that he is probably technically correct, but I think he downplays the fact that all over physics people say "never" when they mean "with probably less than 10^-1000.

For example, in classical thermodynamics there is a nonzero probability that all the air molecules in a room will happen to travel to one side, violating many laws of fluid mechanics. In quantum mechanics the situation is even worse, where basically anything can happen with nonzero probability.
I wish someone would do an investigation of vitamin D supplements vs. endogenous vitamin D efficacy.

Dislikes have problems, and I'm not too bothered about it on YouTube since I literally never looked at it, but I do think that being able to quickly indicate something is low-quality content is valuable. Think of Twitter, where your only feedback is likes from people who agree with you, so your followers just reinforce your own thing in a positive feedback loop that echo chambers yourself much more than something like Reddit or HN.

Nice troll account you've got there. Pity if someone were to have saved the results from the recent alias-account finder and unmask you...

Anyway as i said above i have been wanting to go through all of the dozens of references but i have other projects, a long drive to work, and little desire to please others. i have taken the step of standing on others' shoulders and collecting their work. Spoon-feeding it to people who have made up their minds to not consider science has lately sagged on my list of desires.

YouTube monopoly is really hurting internet and the world.

YouTube at this point is globalized TV controlled by one country: U.S.

It got so bad that for countries that do not have their own platforms, YouTube become as worse as adversarial subversive NGO that dictates one narrative and suppresses other narratives. i have seen in recent years countless examples of channels wiped from platform for holding opinionated views not aligned with Neo-liberal west.

Removing features so that you watch what they want you to watch.

There's a new worm going around aimed at disrupting industrial/energy systems called "CosmicEnergy" that's been in the news the last week or so, I'd assume due to its similar function Stuxnet is getting mentioned in the articles and so is having bit of a resurgence in searches as a result.
It's true that people are less and less ok being confrontational. I don't mind having a spat, but it is becoming increasingly rarer
Yes exactly. The training set used for the famous black hole image was a database of images created using black hole simulations based on our best available models. This is pretty far away from these consumer ML models trained on publicly available images which may as well be consider garbage from a scientific perspective.
Honestly, it isn’t hard to justify Youtube’s choices on this very specific issue. The dislike button presumably has a function beyond public shaming. I expect it’s primarily for tailoring recommendations and tuning their algorithms, but in any case it was clearly being abused by troll hordes.

If Youtube devs could see that significant amounts of dislikes were coming from users who hadn’t watched the video, or could identify other statistical aberrations, it stands to reason that such abuse would actively interfere with the legitimate functionality it was intended for and/or work against the interests of YouTube, advertisers, as well as authors and viewers.

I personally think that removing the public counter was an elegant solution in this case, as it suppresses the worst excesses of trolling while maintaining the original intent of the dislike feature, which should improve the overall experience for most users, generally speaking.
After 100 years, the burden of proof is on your side of the fence. No one can prove a negative.

> we’re seeing the capabilities improve rapidly

Yes, but towards what? How do we know that, say, Transformer based LLMs are closer to superintelligence than earlier architectures?

To make such an assumption, there would need to be something that we could measure to track the process. To the best of my knowledge, there is no accurate definition of intelligence, nor superintelligence.

So how would we know where on the scale of [intelligent-------superintelligent] a given system is, or whether it even is on that scale?
The trademark thing, it served as a wake-up call about the current structure of everything Rust.

Black'n'roll is the term. Kvelertak are a contentious one amongst the black metal crowd (they aren't even on metal archives), but they're an excellent bridge into Norway's more "kvlt" sound.
"My email is in my profile"
Great point. This also reminds me of discussion I saw somewhere else about programming languages with execution capabilities support for security, the author saying that no languages supported it, and a commenter saying that this was basically the same as an effects system.

I'm personally a professional Haskell programmer and quite like it, but I think we are circling a core notion: There are many problems with having programming languages where any code can do literally anything at all, and being able to restrict it is extremely powerful.

Constraints liberate, liberties constrain. You can always loosen strictures, but once loosened, they are extremely hard to reintroduce.
That's a terrible analogy but sure - if I were evaluating whether "SQLite is good" based on a playlist of programmers and one of them was by one person of an occupation based entirely around pseudoscientific beliefs, some of which are actively harmful, I would probably discount the rest of the videos in the playlist. Especially when many of the other videos are from creators who mainly post clickbait and more pseudoscience.
> You need a layered mode though - you can have bold, italic, monospaced, header and link all active at the same time - which means you've got 32 states right there

Requiring like, a byte, for state is hardly a complex requirement.

> But also! If you do something like `# Header _bold-italic`, that italic and bold don't apply because the EOL stops the header state and retroactively cancels those bold-italic attributes.

And an IF statement or two.

> But also also! If you mismatch the order, it won't match both. Or, at least in Marked 2, if you mismatch the order on both sides of a non-attributed word, that word will get the wrong styling (`_with mismatched_* middle _attributes_`).

Fair enough, but you can't expect to get correct output if you put wrong data in, you are trying to italicize it twice. If the interpreteation was "either * or _ turns italics on/off" you'd also have not what you expected.

My complaint about markdown here is really that there are 2 ways to make italics and 2 ways to make bold text. "Just" having * for bold and _ for italics would on top of making parsing easy also make it clearer. Less typing too.
Everyone knows those are a childish tool used by bully nerds to wield power over others with this fake better than thou outlook on things that have nothing to do with programming or the computer.

Like seriously I’m on a computer remotely discussing tech with people. I don’t personally care about who the other person is or does beyond their contribution to the repo and topic at hand. Beyond that, to weaponize decent behavior as a tool to do additional things, is not right.

Sorry but when can we stop taking “developer advocate” type people seriously? They’re usually not devs or technical (at least in my own experience), and add all these side things which make no sense except in political organizations.
