> Rule of law is vague

Not really. It means functioning courts that are fair. It means you don't pay people off to get your way.

> so it's just not reasonable to say that these countries are inherently doing something wrong for prosperity.

Nowhere in Latin America has there ever been the kind of stability you would find in a place like the US, Canada, Britain etc.
We purposefully choose to torture animals that we breed and keep in captivity and that would otherwise not be alive if not for our intervention. And we could easily choose to limit their suffering at minimal expense to ourselves! But we choose not to, for reasons I simply cannot comprehend.

Animals in the wild obviously do not have any such choice.
So next time I’m eating an octopus, I will ask for its consent?
>> Tragically, the software stack for developed by Simula is not compatible with the Aero. Because the Simula Window Manager is linux native, and the Aero is Windows Native… (damn, I bought the wrong hardware.)

> The WM is linux-native, but any x86 OS [...]

Oh. On re-reading, I see you meant you wanted to use the Simula software on the Aero HMD... I got that backwards.
Yes, that's CoreData but we're talking about this new intermediate SwiftData layer. If you think of the ORM part as just "storage" the bindings are quite Recoil-like. Take a look at `recoil-sync`, which handles querying and syncing with persistent storage.
As I said, there's no need to completely disregard what they say, but readers outside the UK should be aware that some aspects of how the IEA operates are controversial, and though it presents itself as an institution carrying out empirical research, it is in reality a political lobbying group.
Sometimes groups of people making occasional mistakes, none of which are related to any other.

And sometimes groups tend to become pathological, such that no one joining the group is just "someone making occasional mistakes". Groups become like that for various reasons, but one of the qualities that seems most problematic tends to be "authority with minimal or no effective oversight".

This is why most police departments are just cesspits of anti-human torment and oppression. If reddit mods aren't murdering people, I'd chalk that up to the fact that they aren't given sidearms, fetters, and a mandate to patrol the streets.

> I have not seen what you are describing.

Cops never see anything worrisome either. You know, until some 11 yr old is shot in his own home after putting his hands up.

Reddit mods probably have it better in that reporters don't really go out of their way to put their abuses in the headlines.
What If We’re Thinking About Inflation All Wrong?
Looking at the source of this kind of underlines the difference between machine learning scientist types and actual computer scientists.
It's a good idea that just revitalizes the old agent-management-star relationship. I wonder if this is how they do it in Japan with their idols and such. I don't know of any single platform that they all market on, they all roll their own website and such and the agent/manager funds everything.

On the other hand, seeing it/knowing it from real life and seeing it now making anime as a standard plot is also exciting and a bit sad. See Aggretsuko and Oshi no Ko. Both are products of pop culture of Japan that reflect the current trends of this management/money first style.
I think you have to ask yourself "compared to what?".

Compared to REST, I would argue auto-generated GraphQL clients are superior (compared to auto-generated REST clients based on something like OpenAPI).

Compared to gRPC, I think it has the advantage that it's much easier to use in the browser and many people seem to prefer text-based protocols for debugability.

What are you comparing it to?
I mean, there is an entire discussion ongoing whether or not they might be.

But LLMs (today) don't fulfill criterion #7: After training is completed, the model is fixed, so there is no more learning going on. #6 would also be hard to map to an LLM.

It's going up to 100 req/m, but the new limit is indeed per key, not per user. (See https://old.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/13wsiks/api_upda... for more detail.)
> Sadly, in the UK, the transport network (both tube and trains) often (during the hot summer days) provide conditions for human transport that are inferior to the minimum legal requirements for cows.

Well, cows can't decide 'this transport is going to be uncomfortable or possibly dangerous, but I really want to go to the other place, so I'll deal with it'. Would you rather have uncomfortable, possibly dangerous transport or no transport? Yes, you'd rather have comfortable, unlikely to be dangerous transport, but that doesn't seem to be something the transportation network is able to offer.
I found this page[1] which mentions dynoing shocks at 3 inches per second, as that what one could see in the pits. If you want some spatial-temporal resolution for that then you'll want a fairly decent sample rate, no?

Maybe not quite 4kSps is needed but for vibration and such it'd make sense to me.

But sure, could very well be an aggregate rate.

Nobody is motivated to solve the bigger problem. This theatre is masking an unwillingness to face global issues. It's a political gambit. "We did something! So quit bothering us until next session."
Maybe for you. Those girls were genuinely interested in my thoughts on philosophy.
However it didn't blow itself up, someone did it.
I switched from the Move to the Studio (freestanding version) and the form feedback triggers __slightly__ more often but it's still not worth bothering about imo. the rep counting not working bothers me way more.

I may or may not have allegedly left a single penny as a tip at restaurants before for exceptionally bad service. Shoved down the credit card holder pocket thing so they had to fish it out.
What he wrote was, "These details ... were carefully written to not leak anything."

This is standard CYA language from an employee who doesn't want to get in trouble for leaking anything not publicly known (e.g., something not in a patent document).
Seems a lot of people with opinions on this topic have little experience crabbing, fishing, and hunting, that is, looking these creatures in the eye. I can assure you, all of them are sentient.
Surprised there's not more skepticism about the "Qualia Research Institute" behind this study. It's funded by the founder of Polychain Capital, which might raise some eyebrows. I also find it amusing that people in tech have a tendency to reject traditional Western religious forms, but readily adopt Eastern ones or modern New Age spinoffs, which are arguably just as bad if not worse in terms of being anti-intellectual, anti-rational, mystical, etc.
Does Russia particularly care what India thinks? This strikes me as a situation where Russian leadership will act so as to further its geopolitical position how it thinks best. Might be one hell of a swap and/delivery of parts.

They were braver than I am, flying through a war zone.
It's a pretty big psychological warfare advantage for the Russian though to impress their population and keep them in the dark about what is really going on in Ukraine. It seems a bit coincidental considering the major Ukrainian offensive will likely start with the next couple of weeks.
Reminds me of Ms. Casey's "wellness sessions" in Severance
Your brain develops using an incredibly similar system of chemical signals (hormone distribution).

Also - almost every plant out there is capable of repairing damage to itself, which I would take as fairly strong evidence that it prefers to not die. That repair is a complicated and involved process as well, and often includes adaptations that attempt to prevent further damage (ex: Lots of plants signal neighbors when eaten, and those neighbors chemically adjust to change how they taste to the animal eating them).

I'm just saying...

I can vividly picture the alien farting out a cloud of pheromones that essentially say "It's all very stimulus-response for a human - they just begin emitting auditory response to a wide range of stimuli" before he eats them.
Yes, the idea is that you first make a query that returns a single row with a "component" column, and potential other top-level parameters for the component. This is translated to some HTML that displays a piece of user interface on the page.

Then, you can make subsequent queries that can return multiple rows, and fill the component with data, displayed inside the piece of UI created by the component.

For instance, you can run

SELECT 'list' AS component, 'Popular websites' AS title;

This will open a list component. Then

SELECT
topic AS title,
'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' || topic AS link
FROM interesting_topics;

will populate the list with entries from your interesting_topics database table.

About putting all the app logic in SQL queries: yes, there are some apps that would be very hard, or impossible to build in SQLPage.
But for most simple Create-Read-Update-Delete apps, you don't really have any complicated business logic, and not having ANY boilerplate to get started is I think what makes SQLPage compelling. And when your app later grows to have more complex business logic, you just move from SQLPage to a full-fledged backend framework, but you don't lose the work you have already done structuring your database schema and the core queries that your app will need.

The goal of SQLPage is not to replace something like Django, for instance. It is for django developers to be able to quickly test out their app idea, and for people who have no idea what "backend development" even means to still be able to create simple apps.
Apple’s Vision Pro is a machine. Now to find out what it is for
Criticism of the iPhone on it's debut was absolutely vicious.
After taking the pilots' accounts on face value, this analysis gave me new insight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs

The pilots claim they saw a flying saucer that was rotating in weird ways, and provide a grainy video that's kind of convincing. The analysis proves it was lens flare.

There are additional debunked UAP videos released by the military, including one that is lens bokeh around starlight, which is debunked by showing the configuration of the "triangle UAPs" matches the positions of stars at that time, including additional evidence that the camera used on those ships has triangle aperture.

This tells me there's a chance of a disappointing but realistic option 4: military incompetence. They take these videos, they don't know what they are, so they go into some data pipeline and categorized as UAP. Then people/congress become aware that there are "UAP videos", and we go through this declassification song and dance, only to get these bokeh and lens flare videos, that the military themselves do not know they are bokeh/lens flare, and they have to find out about it on YouTube.

Giving the military more benefit of the doubt, the likely option is 3: psyop. They spread UAP rumors to confuse adversaries, knowing these UAP videos they have are BS. When they release these easily debunked videos, the adversaries could be further confused, still not knowing what they really have.
Yeah I’m feeling you on this. I built an iOS/MacOS app with iCloud sync in SwiftUI a few years ago and it was a chore
Agreed, although there is a societal acceptance factor as well.

It is currently the norm to use beautifying filters on basically any picture or video you post to the internet, for a large part of the population.

I can see a future where the iOS feature they just demoed that lets you choose what shows up on someone’s phone when they call you turns into choosing what filter(s) someone’s Apple Vision Pro Air Max Plus Ultra uses when it sees you.
I think the first use cases of WebAuthn were targeted at MFA, but passkeys are definitely being advertised as replacing passwords as the primary/only factor (with the caveat that you'll also be expected to perform some sort of pin/bio authentication on the local device).

It's a long-simmering annoyance at the decline of the cryptocurrency ecosystem: from the really cool technology underlying Bitcoin, to exciting whitepapers with different solutions to hard problems on other coins, to intractable whitepapers designed to create hype for coins that do nothing, to the clear creation of exchanges as places to gamble, to the sidelining of anyone in the cryptocurrency world trying to solve any problem other than "get rich quick", to the collapse of FTX.

All through it the definition of a security has been clear, but Coinbase et al has pretended that the issue is "regulatory clarity" and not "we are operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro".

Very rarely a cool use case for cryptocurrency will come up, but the marketing is now entirely "invest and make money!", which is some combination of tedious and scammy, depending on who it's coming from.
I taught a 102 course last semester with 13 weekly very short writing assignments. The level of cheating was pretty demoralizing. In one week, 15 of 75 students all used ChatGPT. Luckily when you are grading that many at a time it becomes very clear who is cheating based on the overlap between them and structural similarity, though they do try quite hard to muss it up to look original.

In general I found those tools mostly useless and very easy to fool by making minor changes. I had better luck putting the original writing prompts into chatGPT, saving them all to a text file, and cross referencing when dealing with student work that didn't pass a sniff test.
If people keep telling you that you're racist then maybe you're…
It seems various us governments have not shared this opinion in the past.
I think that it's still unproven that a distributed global ledger is actually a fundamentally useful thing, outside of speculation. We're 15 years out from the invention of Bitcoin, and if all of blockchain technology snapped out of existence today, there are very few people, other than speculators, who would be impacted. It has comprehensively failed to be adopted into any value chains.
Which is an indicator of the utility of the streamer vs the utility of the platform.

In a world with better social policies, the real question would be whether profiting off of teenagers marketing to other teenagers should be unregulated and whether the absurd heavy-handed selective censorship and highly questionable moral compass of Twitch Inc should be continued allowed to shape children.
This comes more from a background of "link-sharing sites work by people posting links with original and interesting content that a community would like."

And Reddit (and HN, and Digg, etc.) started out as link-sharing sites.

If not for "self-promotion", new blogs would never have been noticed once the era of blog rings died off and Google tried (and partially succeeded) killing RSS.

I think blatant self-promotion for selling things is wrong. But writing a blog post with information relevant to a community and sharing that seems like it's useful. If the community thinks it's spammy, then the community can flag it or downvote it.
They wouldn't. 'yieldcrv is not demonstrating knowledge of the Howey test, and appears to be heavily focused on a narrower reading, "buying something with the expectation of increased future value" -- which they're setting up as a strawman's Howey's test.

Sneakers would not meet the Howey Test: An investment contract exists if there is an "investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others."

The four parts of the Howey test, distilled down to plain English (and therefore losing a great deal of nuance in the process):

- It is an investment of money.

- The investment is in a common enterprise.

- There is an expectation of profits.

- The expectation of profits is solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party.

Buying the latest Yeezy's is not a common enterprise. The fourth point is debatable.
Slime molds and single celled creatures can learn things despite having ZERO neurons. Neurons are built on top of an already incredibly complex machine evaluating hundreds of thousands of chemical and physical interactions per second that ALL effect how the cell works.

We aren't likely ever going to reduce that to a model as simple as the one used in machine learning, because it probably isn't that simple period.

Neurons are not "just" electrical signalling devices. They are complicated processors and systems in their own right.
Hi. I know a company but is in Europe. Remote job maybe?
Key quotes (italics mine):

"The presentation was both jaw-droppingly impressive and oddly underwhelming. The Vision is stuffed with innovations that eclipse every other headset on the market... Yet the company had strangely uninspiring suggestions for what to do with its miraculous device. Look at your photos—but bigger! Use Microsoft Teams—but on a virtual screen!... Is that it?"

"Patience. Mr Cook is right that spatial computing is a new platform, but it will take time to exploit. Consider the iPhone’s launch, 16 years ago. Like the Vision, its technology sparkled, but its dull initial uses were inherited from earlier platforms: make calls, write e-mails, browse the web, listen to music. It was years before developers unlocked mobile computing’s killer use-cases: group chats, ride-hailing, short video, casual gaming, mobile payments and all the other things that today persuade people to spend $1,000 or more on an iPhone (whose $499 launch price in 2007 was considered shocking)."

"Other platforms have taken just as long to reach their potential. Television producers began by filming people appearing on stage. Internet pioneers started off by sharing files, before spinning the web and much more. Apple’s own smartwatch was a damp squib until consumers decided that it was a health and fitness device. It now sells 50m watches a year..."
The Unsolved Technical Alignment Problem in LeCun's A Path Towards AGI
Interestingly, common lisp does allow one to write unsound programs intentionally. The `the` special operator (http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/s_the.htm#the) declares that the form in the second position is of the type specified by the first position. You can imagine that this allows the runtime to crash early if the type is wrong, and you'd be right... But depending on the compiler you use, it also allows for the creation of unsound programs because you can set your flags such that the compiler uses the presence of `the` to make assumptions on the underlying types, letting the program evaluate faster by throwing out some runtime type checks.
Oh, well the weight was going to be 1 since I needed the frames need to be fully overlayed, and I randomly ended up at 36, since I just kept upping the frames until I got a good-enough image via trial & error. Then I had to fix the gamma, because it ended up being "smeared," which is exactly what I wanted, but extremely dark and hard to see.
Ruff is amazing. I recommend turning on the [I]import rules as a replacement of isort and running `ruff check --fix`. Run it with black for best results.

It also has a very good LSP that complements pyright in my neovim setup. There's also a plug-in for pylsp if you're using an editor that doesn't support multiple LSPs at the same time (e.g. Helix).

After that, check the rules page[0] for anything that might be relevant to your project. Between enabling some of these rules, using pyright, black and sourcery, I feel like the most relevant cases are covered.

This lays down the foundations that can be used to tackle the larger problems while gradually tightening the restrictions.

Implementing radical change overnight without the mechanism to enforce it will guarantee failure.
yes but haskell code is inherently puzzling and you are supposed to get safety in exchange
You know what's distateful? Acting like we can only ever do one thing, and we must necessarily do that one thing to the end before we start another. I'm capable feeling sad for both dying children as well as for animal cruelty - both at once! Who will it help if I do not feel sad for crabs being boiled? How many children do I save?
Would you care to explain what you mean?

I meant 40B Falcon is better than 65B LLaMA in many benchmarks and we will see even better models released with time.

I do mostly "normal" searches and I get one captcha challenge a couple times a day.

> That said, isn’t the point of war also that it’s horrible and barbaric?

No. The conqueror never wants war — he prefers to get what he wants without any resistance. It's only the defender who has to wage war to defend itself from aggression.
Looks terrible but just good enough that it is fine for general, short term use.

Basically exactly how I feel about touch screen keyboards vs blackberry style keyboards.
Very much depends what you mean by "too weird".

I'd argue for most people <30 even wearing a button up shirt is a little 'weird' in an informal setting, so from my perspective blazers/sports coats in informal settings are already 'too weird'.
asking questions is also a well-known tactic for getting information. how do you figure out there's ill intent?
The "in patents" modifies "available", not "details".

Tesorio (YC S15) Is Hiring Back End Engineers, DevOps and Head of Marketing
> Nouveau maintainer was burnt out, last I heard, and the project was never a serious alternative to NVIDIA's closed driver

Simply not true. I recall in the mid '10s using it because the proprietary driver was crashy garbage. No, I didn't get the same performance possible with the proprietary driver, and I didn't have a bleeding-edge video card, but it was more than usable as a daily driver.
I've never heard of this either and thought they were referring to a trend from 10 years ago with wearing brightly colored socks.

What a silly and cynical view.

Rich people are never forced to face responsibility for their actions? A cursory Google search will turn up thousands of cases where rich people, including celebrities, are punished by courts. Its happening every day.

The reason Experian is in the position it is in is because we don't have any national digital database run by the govt. that stores the information needed by banks, etc., to provide us credit. There are countries (like India) where the govt. runs the services, but there are civil rights reasons why that also might not be a good choice in the long run.

The better question to ask is why hasn't Experian been displaced by a better competitor. What are the barriers to entry that prevent better companies from taking on its role?

I think you will find there are both coordination problems and regulatory problems at fault for why Experian is still around fucking up year after year.
Pretty cool, thanks.

Using the interactive mode, how can I open the selected file in vim instead of just outputting the filename to stdout?
I believe you're quite wrong. I read the article. They discovered some minor non-conformance that's not safety related and are fixing it. Airplanes are incredibly complex machines with millions of parts. Scaling this analogy it's like a finding a minor manufacturing issue with the iPhone's PCB. Which probably happens all the time and you'd never know or hear about it. I can't think of a single Apple product I've owned that didn't have some defect that required a widespread "repair program" to resolve.
