Sure the particular units might not be considered evil but what Imperium does pretty much is.

Xenos ? Purge without question, even if they are peaceful

Human colony wanting to be just left alone ? Nope, can't have that, conquer and make them pay tribute.

Mutated in wrong way ? Probably chaos, purge just in case.

Human rights ? Only human right is to sacrifice life for Emperor.

Sure the world requires such level of sacrifice just to survive the threats from rest of the universe but that doesn't make Imperium not evil

Then again, every other major faction is too... maybe except Tyranids, they just hungry

I am not 100% sure how IPFS works, but it's where some NFCs are stored, right? Is it even possible to only store blobs you care about? Either way, it does solve the migration problem.
What's the predecessor with a notebook interface from before 1987? I'm not aware of one. Wolfram loves to claim he invented stuff but this one might actually be true.

The Wikipedia article suggests a contemporary in 1987 (MathCAD) but I'm not seeing a Mathematica/Jupyter-style notebook interface before that year. That would seem to have been the year of the notebook interface, and Mathematica 1.0 did come out that year with one. As far as Wolfram claims go, this one doesn't seem too offensive.

The way I interpret a decision like that is the court saying "yes the government does have the power to do this and it always has, it is specified in the constitution and if you thought otherwise you've been reading it wrong." It's sort of a pointless philosophical distinction, but I wouldn't say the government didn't have that power before the decision, I'd say they did but they never tried to use it (unless the court was overturning a previous decision).

I'm aware that the Supreme Court sometimes completely changes its mind in a matter of decades, so it's possible a legislative prohibition would have been struck down 20 years before Wickard v. Filburn, but it's also possible the court would have come to the same unanimous decision. I don't know anything about legal history so if there's some obvious reason the 1918 court would have ruled differently then I apologize.
Well, let's pull up a first results from googling:

5.5 million tonne resource, 70,000 tonne/year consumption in current reactors

If you object to the thermal energy estimate I encourage you to do better. You might also take into account that energy demand will naturally increase as the lesser developed world continues its rapid growth (much faster in percentage terms per year than in the West.)
Agree it could be better. I recently moved and wanted to be close to work but also close to a few friends. It would be cool if you could put in two (or more) locations and it would map out areas. I'm sure some ones would have popped up I didnt consider.
Many analysts and pundits aren't acting like the jury's still out, though. Similarly to the iPhone, many who haven't touched it are reporting it DOA, even as some people are leaving actual demos with intensely positive reviews.
> Yes they were, because geocities didn't control your search results

No but altavista and metacrawler did.

Then there came google, heavily subsidised by vc money. Deep pockets. Then that turned out to be unsustainable and so they began controlling search results and showing excessive ads.

If we want an ad free internet we need to pay for services or have government provided alternatives.

There’s no in between i am afraid. Servers and engineers cost money.

I wouldnt mind spending 10£ a month for a proper search engine service with a means to stay connected with friends. That would also reduce bot generated content.
There are way too many articles on Wikipedia for a completely random single article to be likely to be interesting. What would be better is if it generated a list of about 20 different random articles in a summarized list, like search engine results.

Perhaps even better would be if, instead is drawn from the entire Wikipedia, the list was generated from a pool of articles that are at most N links separated from your current page.
It's not accurate. Imperium is bad guys is more accurate. There are humans outside the Imperium too.

> From what I've seen, the people that have a gripe with Delaware courts are usually activists of some sort.

For the record, I'm not an activist, if that's what you're saying.

I just don't see that the benefits (which seem to be very hard for anyone to quantify) of being in Delaware even come close to comparing to the opportunity or actual costs of not being in a far more business- and tax-friendly state like Wyoming, Texas, or Florida.
I'm not an expert, but wouldn't garbage collection be a difficult problem as well?

I think the Economist article is exactly right - that despite the massive differences between ANNs and the brain, ANNs are indeed highly suggestive of how some aspects of the brain appear to work.

People can criticize the shortcomings of GPT-4, but it's hard to argue that it's at least capable of some level of reasoning (or functionally equivalent if you object to that word!). It's not yet clear exactly how a Transformer works other than at mechanical level of the model architecture (vs the LLM "running on" the architecture), but we are at least starting to glean some knowledge of how the trained model is operating...

It seems that pairs of attention heads in consecutive layers are acting in coordination as "induction heads" that in one case are performing a kind of analogical(?) A'B' => AB match-and-copy type of operation. The induction head causes a context token A to be matched (via "attention" key query) with an earlier token A' whose following token B' then causes related token B to be copied to the residual stream at position following A.

This seems a very basic type of operation, and no doubt there's a lot more interpretability research to be done, but given the resulting reasoning/cognitive power (even in absense of any working memory or looping!), it seems we don't need to go looking for overly complex exotic mechanisms to begin to understand how the cortex may be operating. It's easy to imagine how this same type of embedded key matching might work in the cortex, perhaps with cortical columns acting as complex pattern matchers. Perhaps the brain's well known ~7 item working memory corresponds to a "context" of sorts that is updated in same way as induction heads update the residual stream.

Anything I've written here about correspondence between transformer and cortex is of course massive speculation, but the point is that the ANN's operation does indeed start to suggest how the brain, operating on similar sparse/embedded representations, may be working.

Huffman trees are really cool and a neat little example program to put together.
The lawyers not only cited bogus cases, but when asked to provide copies of those bogus cases, fabricated multiple page PDF documents from whole cloth. This is impossible to argue as a mistake.

Here is an example of one of the fabricated cases. The 11th circuit has no record of this case. 1 of the 3 judges named in the case was not on the 11th circuit at the time: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...
I think you should think about it in terms of how much “naive optimism” you want to foster in your friends.

In truth, there’s good reasons do doubt every project, even the ones that end up being highly succesfull.

Unfortunately, it seems like human beings are highly pulled towards either working on something with unrealistic confidence, or sitting on the the couch and watching netflix.

Working on something with unrealistic confidence, even if that project itself is completely doomed to failure, is probably better for you than watching Netflix.

The one exception is, there is a higher than average probability that startup people with naive optimism end up getting into a position where they decide to end their life.
Don't overthink it. Look up America's Test Kitchen videos on cast iron pans. They probably have one to recommend the best one for the $$ and how to take care of it.

I have an old school cast iron skillet and pot. I wish I'd watched videos because newer types of cast iron apparently has a smooth finish and is thinner and lighter. When new, I washed it with soap and water, dried it, added a nice and thin layer of olive oil all around wiped it with a kitchen towel to take off the excess, then baked it for half an hour. Let it cool. Repeated that once or twice. You can even just heat it on a stove top.

Once I'm done cooking something, I rinse scrub and rinse with warm water to get all the food off and add a touch of oil. A little goes a long way.

That's all, really. It isn't complicated or particularly laborious. It just weighs a fair bit - it'll take your hands a couple of weeks to get stronger and then you won't care.
If it's the group I think you're talking about, you forgot your triple parentheses.

I have no idea who Jack Thompson is. Gamers are disproportionately shithead teenagers whose parents neglected to teach them that the n and t words are not the peak of comedy, so it sounds like Thompson is much needed presence.
People who are crazy enough that think they can change the world are only the ones who do, so when Steve Jobs has to deal with these non-sense so he never said what he is working on, he focused on shipping great products: "There is no likelihood that Apple can be successful in a business this competitive. Even in the business where it is a clear pioneer, the personal computer, it had to compete with Microsoft and can only sustain a 5% market share."
Yeah, the Parallels version is very good- enough to play mid-level games pretty comfortably.

The iPhone solved an incredibly useful problem because it put the internet in your pocket. No one has a “computer room” at home. What is the problem that the vision solves? I can watch TV on a huge screen in my living room? I already have a large screen in my living room. It’s like stuff I can already easily do but with extra steps and a $3500 US price tag.
I love when someone takes a chart at it's highest, ie 1970s violence, and then compares it to modern times to call it "low". People don't seem to understand what NYC looked like in the 1970s - many people called it a urban Iraq. 1

Violent crime is on the rise and nitpicking statistics from an ivory tower while victims increase exponentially is not only ignorant but downright malicious.

Encyclopedia and World Atlas were my best friends since I learned how to read. Still have very warm feelings.
I hope I make $1M/yr of sales (not profit) in a year. But even if I don't, in 5 years may be I can overtake your revenue by a large margin?

If the question is about a start ups, then no job can make the same money as a decent business isn't it?

Therefore instead of asking such questions I think one can discuss about the safety net. The question in that direction would be "How bad might it get if everything about this venture fails? Do you have a plan to recover from that?"
This one is a bit more powerful for me.

The effects kept going after the training, and you made no conscious effort to change the waves, the discomfort from the stuttering was driving the brain to lower delta waves.

This is all from a JRE podcast years back, so I'm probably wrong, but I think the logic was that this could be applied to other subconcious processes (like regulating your heartbeat to stay in some optimal value, or the serotonin levels in the brain), and that the effects were not conscious. Kind of setting a new normal for yourself.

Greed is always part of it. It’s a part of everything.

Thats why I don’t usually use greed as an explanation for stuff. Of course greed is part of the system and sometimes it causes bad things to happen. Sometimes it also causes good things to happen. So, if you want to prevent the bad, it’s useful to look for some explanation that isn’t just “greed”.
> I've used Jupyter since it was IPython notebook, but I don't think that community claims to be the first coming of notebooks.

My recollection (which could be wrong, it's been a while) is that SageMath’s notebook preceeded iPython notebooks. IIRC iPython started as a CLI repl, which may have come before the notebook.

(Mathematica came before all of them, and likely inspired SageMath’s interface)

To be perfectly clear, the virtualization is for ARM, so you're getting native level performance with ARM apps and the Windows emulation of x86 instructions flies along pretty well too.

I delete all my accounts every year or so. I don’t understand people’s fascination with their own data online. It’s mostly less than worthless, so their fascination with storing stuff they will never read again is weird.

I have a friend who, back in 1998 or 1999, printed out all his emails. He was really active on IRC so he had a lot of email, and he wasnt savvy enough to know he could copy his mbox. He carried those papers around with him for decades and finally realized he never flipped through them once so he recycled them all. I think that’s the case with almost all the data that we produce. It’s not useful for us, but probably useful for companies like Google to create models of our thought patterns.
Acosta gave Epstein the sweetheart deal to end all sweetheart deals: rape 34 known minors and get a slap on the wrist alongside a shutdown of an investigation into more crimes and a non-prosecution agreement, including breaking a federal law to avoid telling the victims about the deal. He then ended up in the Trump cabinet. I'll leave it to you to decide if those two are connected (I mean, yes. Obviously yes. He was bought, and we're all just ignoring it.)

> As part of the arrangement, Acosta agreed, despite a federal law to the contrary, that the deal would be kept from the victims. As a result, the non-prosecution agreement was sealed until after it was approved by the judge, thereby averting any chance that the girls — or anyone else — might show up in court and try to derail it. [1]

it's so blatant that 2/3rds of Acosta's wiki page covers the deal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Acosta

I don't know. I never graduated to waiter, but I worked as a busboy a few times. I have much sympathy for wait staff. My recollection is that the waitresses were always decent to me.

Still I don't buy, "I suspect it’s easier to teach a waitress to be a writer than an intellectual to be a waiter." One of my other low-paying jobs was as a copy editor, and I have seen how commonly schools have failed to teach PhDs to be good writers--I don't see why the randomly selected waitress should be better. I should say that the demands of the two jobs are quite different, anyway: the waitress has to be able constantly switch attention to multiple people and multiple tasks, the writer (or programmer) has to be able to focus on one thing for relatively long times.

I.e., use a 536-bit unsigned integer to store Planck time with one Planck time following the big bang as the epoch, and use the top three bits as a tetration height instead of an exponent, and you can get real far.

The Andor series is also well written and produced.

Perhaps the franchise can benefit by looking for writing talent outside of Hollywood.

Someone like Dan Abnett who has done an amazing job in the Warhammer 40k universe may bring new and compelling narratives to life.

Aftonbladet may not be a very high quality news service, the article is still real, it's still the words of our PM.

As an immigrant who has more-or-less integrated and adapted into Sweden, lived here for nearly a decade, I completely despise this op-ed. The nationalistic way he talks in is something I never expected from Swedish politics, it's a nuanced way to play nationalism but is still shockingly unexpected.

Ulf Kristersson sold his soul to become PM, he is on the record barely 5-6 years ago saying he'd never ally himself and his party (M - Moderaterna) with SD, he has broken that to become PM and this is the blow SD wanted: a more nationalistic political discourse. Playing the Swedish language into this just makes me reek.

Sorry, had to go check the timeline cause maybe you're right. But I don't think so.

Apollo dev said the call was 24hrs before June 1st. So he asked reddit for 10 million dollars right before he made this post:

https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_ca...

He had previously made 2 other posts about it before on Apr 18-19, so that's what he meant by "quiet down". Reddit refused to pay him $10 million and so he went the opposite of "quiet", he made a post telling his story and it blew up.

For the next week when mods were taking their subs private, the Apollo dev didn't disclose to any of them that he'd asked for 10 million to "have Apollo quiet down." If some reddit employee hadn't asked him about it Mastodon, he would never have told anyone about that.
I fly a lot, and those were many years ago. I do still have nightmares on them. But it's the way the security guards act when I pass through that's traumatic. I'm not - and never will be - accustomed to being treated like I'm in prison or in the "hands" of someone. No one tells me to take my shit off or put it on. Submission to that, from some punk - ah, there you tap the nerve of real abuse, not some one-time accident. And believe me, they understand the effect it has on people who've survived abuse. Abuse of the public is the point. That's why I gloatingly submit to pat-downs rather than go through their miscalibrated machines, and I force them to look me in the eye when they grab my balls.
Sure, I will explain. New York is one of the epicenters of consumption that has driven climate change and precipitated the wild fires in Canada. The USA has been one of the most sustained producers of carbon in the world for the last century and has exported this tendency world wide.
