Canada did the same.

The company building the railroad was paid not only in cash, but also land (which was suddenly very valuable next to a transcontinental railway).

But to avoid giving them all the prime spots, the checkerboard system was put in and they were given 50%, so the other 50% could be purchased by anyone.

Thinking about this i wonder if charisma might be something totally different for a robot than for a human.

It might be offputting for a mechanical being to do human charisma well, unless it had the same needs as a human.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6870484/ doesn't make your argument.

It's a sample of people who were admitted to the hospital for "LSD psychosis" compared to people who were admitted for a first schizoid break. They conclude that there are a lot of similarities.

What you really want to know is: the probability of a schizoid break given you have a predisposition P(break|predisposition), the probability of a break given LSD use P(break|LSD, predisposition), the prevalence of predisposition to schizophrenia P(break), or P(break|human). And maybe P(break|LSD), too, for kicks (probability non-predisposed person gets a schizoid break given taking LSD).

With those pieces you can come to some sort of reasonable conclusion about the risk. The paper tells you very little to nothing about it since the samples don't tell you anything about the population. It's like a mechanic concluding Toyotas all need work because all the ones he sees need work.
Again, you are contriving bullshit to scare folks. And you didn't look at the studies. 38% decrease in accidents along with decrease in fatalities. In the data. For the worries you are sprouting, the data would have to look very different.

I still own a pair of T221s. But they're boxed up now (and have been for a long time) because they're a bit of a pain to drive. I bought them from someone in Japan I found on a mailing list (IIRC), when I made the wire transfer my bank made it seem like I was funding terrorism or something-- the negative experience was one of several that contributed to me eventually working on Bitcoin.

There was a long span when resolution was just stuck on 1080p-- hardly any more pixels than the 1600x1200 I'd been using for a decade on a CRT in in a worse aspect ratio.

Even once higher resolution monitors were a thing it took a while before the T221s had a reasonable competitor.

> If true, why does it not already exist?

Because no has put in the effort to build it and get it adopted. You could also ask why we didn't have something like LSP earlier. In order for such a project to become widely adopted it would need to work well for at least a few popular languages, and work at least approximately as well as the native package management solutions for those languages. And it would need to be easy to use. You can kind of use some existing tools, such as maven, bazel, even npm, for other languages, but it usually isn't as nice of an experience.

Counting graphene clusters is a hard problem because it depends on the font that is being used. It only exists at render time in the context of a specific client.

If the user can freely change a font it is impossible to send a string of 3 graphene clusters because you won't know if it actually will show up as 3 to client or a different number.

The landgrab is part of the problem, you get discoverability and less of a fractured community, but always and forever that’s gonna be the first and probably main place people go to for Minnesota content. Which allows for really shitty moderation and all sorts of perverse incentivizes like registering subreddit names as soon as you find out about a new show/companies registering their own subs

Splinter subreddits still happen, like the various right wing politics subs, but a lot of them fizzle out. People have attempted free speech subreddits and of course there was voat, but it turns out there is a lot of adverse selection in which kind of user goes there.

One reason I’d prefer using the web and regular forums is that popular domains are already taken, so there’s naturally going to be more room for competition and multiple forums all discussing the same thing, with all the pros and cons that entails. While the vote->ranking/visibility mechanism is interesting I think it also biases towards simple content that appeals to the broadest base of users. It’s good for surfacing feel good pictures of something vaguely Minnesota related but not for things like discussing the merits of a legislative bill.
Which specific studies are you referring to? I think you might be looking at outdated research, or studies that didn't run long enough.

Seriously, if you're interested in this area then listen to the entire podcast that I linked above. It's packed with information from one of the leading researchers in the field and might change your mind about a few things.

It's 2023. You shouldn't have to struggle as much as you have to just for basic necessities like shelter, food, medicine, education and utilities. This is true of most places in the world. It is sad. Because it doesn't have to be this way. There isn't a lack of resources. There's unequal and unjust distribution of resources.
Eh, not really, seeing as those pre-existing organizations were themselves relatively recent wartime creations. The Office of Strategic Services was created in '42, the CIA in '47. "Intelligence" in the American sphere existed in an ad hoc manner up until that point - during WW1 the US mostly relied on the Brits, and the personal insights and observations of ambassadors or military attaches.

Yes, it is required for all functions to be inlined in Julia. Note that Julia 1.8 and newer supports callsite inlining, so you can, for example, do `@inline exp(x[i])` inside your `for` loop, and this will cause `exp` to get inlined there, and should enable vectorization.
For functions like `log` or `sin`, this is not enough, but you could try `@turbo` from LoopVectorization.jl, which supports these and some others.

`@simd ivdep` may be needed when you have indirect indexing.
Do not forget the `ivdep`, but only if you know it is actually safe. This can lead to hard to track down bugs if it is not.
I know that's a rare concept in the USA especially.

Lots of systems use UTF-16 internally and externally. Counting bytes in UTF-16 is, on average, almost as useful as counting bytes in UTF-8.

I don't think just about anything communicates in UTF-32. 5 is basically just a codepoint count, and as such I don't think its usefulness rating should be between the byte counts.
Books Bard Dreamt Up
And not an IDE like VSCode, but a fully customizable IDE.

It's so frustrating to yearn for basic features in VSCode only to be ignored for years. For example, on macOS, a good amount of space is wasted because we can't hide the menu/title bar. We can't customize tabs either. No vertical tabs like Edge. No tabs height customization. It's either their way or the highway.

A gripe with Brave: Why doesn't the mouse-over feature for the vertical tabs doesn't work if the cursor is at the very left of the screen? And why can't we move the vertical bar to the right side of screen?

Indeed. I would have had a much different opinion in 2013 (and to be fair, old.reddit plus uBlock gives you mostly the same experience), but Reddit as it exists now is definitely social media. (Note that most subreddit mods report that their traffic is ~80% New Reddit users.)
I apologise for making such a generic joke
> No they don't seem vastly more powerful. They're stochastic parrots--there is no 'intelligence' or problem solving, logic, comprehension, etc.

This doesn’t feel like a coherent argument to me. The statement “There is no “intelligence” in LLMs” does not demonstrate that LLMs are not more powerful than previous chat bots. Same for every other loosely defined subjective word you claimed LLMs are not.

Leave aside the question of whether LLMs do comprehension or whether they are a path to AGI. Just ask if they are a more powerful tool than what came before.

> There isn't a lack of resources.

There is absolutely a lack of resources when it comes to medical care. There aren't enough nurses, doctors, mental health professionals, specialized medical equipment, or in some instances even blood, to go around right now.

This "post scarcity" mentality isn't based on reality.
Classic doublespeak.

This is one feature I like in the Arc Browser. Persistent tabs are bookmarks, and bookmarks are just as accessible as regular tabs.
English is my 3rd language. I read only English not in my native tongue. I used to keep a booklet with me write down words I didn't understand. Looked them up later. After a while had a big list which I regularly. Kindle shows you the meaning automatically now and keeps also a list of words which I regularly review.

Over time your vocabulary gets much wider. I have native English speakers asking me where I got certain words from because they are not often used spoken.

Another trick is when you write look up synonyms instead of using the same word over and over again.

But in the words you dropped I learned at least 1 new one. To simper :)
>Both methods are about gaming YouTube instead of creating quality content.

If you scrape away the abstractions for a second, what you will find is Mr. Beast used data to tailor his videos to get his viewers to watch lots of ads and buy lots of products and love his videos and become repeat customers. Mr. Beast is rather transparent about all of this. If you think he’s a creepy manipulative guy, you just don’t watch his content.

The whole thing with buying engagement is that you’re confusing the signal. Instead of coming through the legitimate channel where you openly pay for advertising, you intentionally deceive people, you make it just a little bit harder for the poorer and unconnected to achieve social mobility, you pollute a useful signal with false data, and you do a large number of things which annoy netizens in particular.

All I’m just saying, is that there’s more than one path to be successful. I know people who used cert dumps on the pretence that everybody else is doing it and they won’t put themselves behind, and I know others who literally just did the work and it really didn’t take THAT long in the grand scheme of things and they actually came away having learned something useful at the end of the day. Both kinds of person succeeded.

This is a point of contention in Rhode Island where (I think) the state constitution says that coastline, defined as a place that the tide regularly covers and uncovers, is public land. I believe the original intent was to preserve access for fishing. Lots of wealthy people who own waterfront property go to great lengths to prevent access to the shoreline between their property and the sea. Even in instances where the state has declared the public can walk over a specific privately-owned seawall or down paths to access the shore, landowners hire security guards, install elaborate alarm systems, puncture tires, and generally do whatever they can to harass anyone trying to legally exercise their rights. It's pretty pathetic.

Hi! I'm a 23 y/o solo-founder (currently looking for a co-founder) who's working on FundMatch. A tool to help bridge the gap between individuals and funding using search & generative AI!

I'm planning a whole bunch of things, first and foremost will be to build a bunch of ETL pipelines that collect funding data from across the webs and second building a 'marketplace' of some sorts that individuals can access to view and search for specific types of funding.

Another crucial component will be using AI to help generate funding proposals, cold-emails, etc. to help the user get started on reaching out to these prospects to get their hands on funding!

Let me know what your guys' thoughts are and I'd absolutely love to meet with any of you and discuss more / bounce ideas off each other!

Best,
Anas
You can technically do that, but you will probably never succeed, because 90% of voters never or rarely post (so they have no idea how over moderated their subs might be) and probably 99% of users will just go straight to /r/myhobby or /r/mytopic instead of doing extensive research regarding whether /r/realmyhobby or /r/freespeechmyhobby is better and what drama lead to it being created.

From what I understand all mods also get a lot of bullshit requirements foisted on them by Reddit itself to remove content that infringes various sitewide policies. Which contributes to the supermod problem as it makes moderating time-sensitive in a way that regular people can’t consistently uphold.
Oh well yes the concept of a queue or a line in Asia seems to be not a thing. Especially if you're standing and giving a small amount of personal space to the person in front of you. They take that as an invitation to cut in. On the other hand, typically the cultures are non-confrontational so as a person from the US I just get loud and be like what the fuck are you doing. They realize their mistake and sheepishly moved to the back.

Very much a different cultural concept because most of the time no one else will say anything they just deal with it. I think in the US if you cut in line you might get shot or at minimum start some sort of physical altercation. And people just generally know this so they don't do it.

Where did anyone say "isn't worth it"? The sentence I see is "The problem with numbers is that they don't tell the whole story."

Though in a more general sense, if someone does invent a system that has strong average safety gains, but makes the majority of people less safe... that's a hard sell.

Ask HN: Finding a Computer Arch Tutor
A friend and I, both CS undergrads (with no EE experience), are looking for a tutor able to zoom with us about once a week and teach us about computer architecture in a structured manner. We're thinking of going through a book like "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" by Hennessy and Patterson, but want someone with experience to guide us through it, answer our questions along the way, and answer questions.

We'd be willing to pay for this. Any suggestions on how to find someone qualified for this?
