Sorry about that my autocomplete... thanks autocomplete... took criminalize spelt wrong into decriminalize.

Mental health is a serious thing I am not sure where you got the aspect of criminalize from the whole paragraph though my type-o should've been visible.

Mental health homeless often need people around them to help them get their life in order.

Drug use is a criminal issue. It is like be an accessory to a crime. You are not criminalizing their homelessness which should never be criminalized. You are criminalizing substance use, you can arrest someone for being drunk and disorderly on the streets. You can't touch a meth head. The problem with addiction is that often it drives people to lower their inhibitions and do things that which in their right state of mind not do. But here is the thing you are all caught up looking at CRIMINALIZE! like how we treat all criminals. I'm saying that umbrella needs to be bigger and welcome different approaches to criminalization as opposed to throwing everyone and anyone into a jail cell. Specialized help is needed and when it is optional it is more expensive on tax payers.
It's quite expensive, yes. But removes a lot of headaches (while introducing some new ones), is a great learning exercise and is most probably a solid investment when it comes to ipv4 at least, prices keep going up and it won't just disappear in the near future.
Facebook Rejected a Preschool Class Ad
So, I attempted to boost (ie. advertise) a Facebook post about a new afternoon class at my son's preschool that had the following text:

"Butler Montessori School is offering a new afternoon class for Pre-K and Kindergarten that starts this fall!
This class will be Monday through Friday, from 1:00 to 3:30.
Spots are still open to have your child join our community of enthusiastic learners and explorers this fall!
Learn more at https://butlermontessori.com/new-afternoon-class."

That ad was rejected by Facebook for the following:

"Ads that promote online gambling and gaming, where anything of monetary value is required to play and anything of monetary value forms part of the prize, are only permitted by advertisers that have our prior written permission. These must also adhere to the online gambling and gaming targeting requirements."

I have no idea how the reviewer came to think that my ad was for anything related to gambling or prizes. I have requested an additional review. But I have no idea if that will change anything.

I've seen numerous instances of companies like Facebook and Google not addressing bogus results unless the community puts a large enough spotlight on it. I guess I'm asking for some help here.

The post in question can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/ButlerMontessoriSchool. It's the newest post.

:D

My experience with fountain pen 'print writing' is drips and sloppiness. This happens because the tip has to be picked up between each letter and the tines will have some extra ink on them, making drips more likely.

That's orthogonal to a long tail discussion though, which is about the distribution of streams (how many views/streams go to a small part of the catalogue, and how many to the long tail), not their mere availability.

>What you are saying is that there is some implicit transfer of money from the rich to the poor

No, I'm saying that who you think is rich and poor isn't so black and white.

Think about it for a moment. If you could borrow something, and then never pay back what you borrowed, you'd in fact end up gaining wealth...

In other words, I'm saying that the rich more often use debt as leverage to acquire assets, and then work to pay back less in real terms what they owe (essentially nudging their borrowing a fraction closer to stealing), than they acquire wealth by scrimping and saving/lending. Sure they might lend once they have acquired wealth, but they don't initially acquire their wealth that way (it's way too slow).

Governments do this anytime they choose to inflate their debts away. Instead of paying back in real terms what they owe, they bail themselves out with printed money reducing their debt burden. But the principle also happens in the stock market with derivatives (such as with a gamma squeeze for one example), and with mortgages and renting amongst other things.

Additionally, if you work to look... tax schemes are debt favored. This is particularly true when it comes to corporate taxes, as debt financing is tax deductible, but dividend payments are not: https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/sdn/2011/sdn1111.pdf

And lest not mention how interest rates where near 0% for over a decade. Who do you think that benefits? People with lots of debt - and the greater the debt the greater the benefit.

> fuzzy logic

Yes and no. While the choice of which function to call is dependent on an llm, ultimately, you control the function itself whose output is deterministic.

Even today, given an api, people can choose to call or not call based on some factor. We don’t call this fuzzy logic. E.g., people can decide to sell or buy stock through an api based on some internal calculations - doesn’t make the system “fuzzy”.
People talk about cards not being worth the electricity vs cloud. Seems like an a100 pulls 300w, costs $1.50/hr ish to rent, and costs $12,000 to buy, meaning it pays for itself with 1 year of constant use.
All of that but now I rely even more on searching a few characters to move around and do a lot of edit I make with :<,>s//g or :%s//g with the plugin that shows the result in realtime called traces.

Building Agents with GPT Function Calls – A Langchain Killer?
The only think I am happy about all this AI hype is Infiniband is getting some love again. A lot of people using RoCE on Connect-X HBAs but still a lot of folk doing native IB. If HPC becomes more commonplace maybe we get better subnet managers, IB routing, i.e all the stuff we were promised ~10+ years ago that never had a chance to materialise because HPC became so niche and the machines had different availability etc requirements than OLTP systems that didn't demand that stuff getting built out. Especially the subnet managers as most HPC cluster just compute a static torus or clos-tree topology.

There was a time I was running QDR Infiniband (40G) at home while everyone else was still dreaming of 10G at home because the adapters and switches were so expensive.
You'd have a point if these actions saved lives, but they didn't. And it turns out in some cases, the actions probably led to more deaths, e.g. NY quarantining patients in nursing homes.
Of course some reviews are real, and there's an art to deciphering the wheat from the chaff. The problem is that there's the constant pressure you describe to drown out legitimate reviews or otherwise game the system, so that 'art' becomes more and more tricky and less reliable. I gave up on reading the Yelp tea leaves a long time ago, and other prominent ones like Google Maps and Tripadvisor have been getting worse over time. I can still usually intuit my way through Amazon and and Steam reviews, if there's enough reviews and I take my time.

Eh, a JSON blob is still much more lightweight than HTML/XML. This is important in less developed areas of the world, where internet speed may not be as fast.
Many here seem to confuse "availability of more content" with the "long tail".

The "long tail" concept about content, as made famous in the 00s by Chris Anderson's best-seller, is about the distribution of content consumption, not it's mere availability.

Basically about how many views/streams go to a small ("popular") part of the catalogue, and how many to the long tail.

Having more content available (or some people watching less popular stuff) is required but not sufficient property to have a long tail effect.
Anyone who has seen the interview knows Mehdi wiped the floor with Taibbi and pointed out humiliating mistakes in his reporting -- even Taibbi accepted that.

As for the plagiarism, the article in question is from over 20 years ago, hardly a slam dunk nor is it a representative of his journalistic career. The only reason Fang wrote that is because Mehdi accused him of Islamophobia, it's just petty and desperate nonsense.

I do not believe there is any sort of “ring fence” between schools and politics. The entire point of public school boards and elections thereto is to enable voters to exercise the political control over the branch of government that is providing public educational service. If your argument indeed is that the public schools should be fully and wholly independently ran by nonelected bureaucrats entirely as they please, with no input from voters whatsoever, while being publicly funded, then well, let me just say that I am adamantly opposed to that, and so is most everyone else. You cannot just claim that “we ring fence schools from politics” and expect people to acquiesce to relinquishing control of the public service they fund and make use of.

This is definitely not true. There are context-free grammar and finite state machines are not Turing complete (TC). Strong functional programming languages (always terminate and every action is defined: e.g. x/0=0) are not TC since they exclude the ability to not terminate. In fact, most things you run on a computer are not TC as they are deterministically terminating. Computers themselves are not TC! They have finite memory. For practical purposes they are, and the languages they use often are, but I'd be a bit careful with your "personal theory" as it doesn't capture the ideas of TC that well.

While this might be true, they might have seen a risk in notifying you (at least while investigations were ongoing), consider e.g. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/258.html

Also, how did you come to know about all this? Who notified you in the end?

While I agree with most of what was written by devjab, this:

I disagree with. It's a tool, its usage can differ wildly between orgs, people. I think it's clear that gamification can be used for good from the examples people have provided. Of course the opposite is also true.
There have been a number of these side channel attacks, and they're all equally cyberpunk and hard to believe, e.g. this one [0] from 2014:

> Long tail/"short tail" paradigm was about the distribution of purchases/views/streams etc. A statistical property, not about mere quantity.

The author doesn't provide any evidence that the decades-long trend of "more options = broader distributed viewership" has broken, and the person you're replying to has shown that the "more options" trend is largely continuing. The author is cherry-picking also-not-relative-distribution numbers from a relatively small time frame and extrapolating wildly.

Let's look at the longer timeframe.

From Wikipedia for I Love Lucy:

"The episode "Lucy Goes to the Hospital", which first aired on Monday, January 19, 1953, garnered a then-record rating of 71.7, meaning that 71.7% of all households with television sets were tuned to the program, the equivalent of some 44 million viewers.[71] That record is surpassed only by Elvis Presley's first of three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, which aired on September 9, 1956 (82.6% share, 60.710 million viewers and a 57.1 rating ).[71] The overall rating of 67.3 for the entire 1952 season of I Love Lucy continues to be the highest average rating for any single season of a TV show.[72]"

MASH: "The series premiered in the US on September 17, 1972, and ended on February 28, 1983, with the finale, showcased as a television film, titled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen", becoming the most-watched and highest-rated single television episode in US television history at the time, with a record-breaking 125 million viewers (60.2 rating and 77 share)"

By the time we get to something like Friends we're down to 52M live viewers for its finale, and it's only shrunk since then. Netflix doesn't give equivalent counts or US-only ones, as far as I can find, just "at least two minutes within N weeks" type stuff and similar; I believe if they had that level of cultural ubiquity, they'd be shouting it to the rooftops more explicitly.

And if they did, the linked article would be citing it. But instead, they're just speculating that all the numbers and trends we do have better measured are wrong.

If you look at ticket sales counts instead of box office for movies you'll see a similar large representation of older stuff, and that's a quantity comparison even with a smaller population to boot .
I've noticed that the "anti-SJW" types are inherently opposed to anything that inconveniences them even slightly, no matter how beneficial it is to anyone else (including themselves). If the entire world isn't focused entirely on them they throw a fit.
We had an emergency health situation and the government made emergency rules. Those rules were rescinded later when the emergency was reduced, partly because of widespread vaccination. This is not the first time that during a health emergency the US govt at various levels made temporary stringent rules. It turned out that our political argument against the rules is probably why the u.s had a much higher death rate from covet than other industrialized countries.
They are replying directly to a tangential comment that someone else made. It might not be relevant to this overall thread, but it's relevant to this particular comment chain.

It's not one of the other. You can definitely use a mouse _and_ vim. I wouldn't recommend easymotion to anyone, a mouse is just so much better suited to that sort of behaviour. But there's plenty of motions much better suited for vim bindings, such as change the text up to the next bracket with ct( or changing the contents of a string in ci" and just e and b instead of alt arrows. I think people can just get carried away with "my hands will never leave the keyboard" but it's fantastic having the best of both worlds with vscode + neovim extension

Well, the clue is in their names. Project managers manage projects, which could be anything. They juggle resources and timelines.

Product managers are responsible for the direction of a product. They have to figure out what customers want or need and ensure that the product being built satisfies some of those needs and is competitive in the market place.

There may be some project management in product management, but there is no product management in project management.

I rebind all of these keys. I don't know why but I never find this useful in vim. In tmux's copy mode I use them all the time, but ya, I can't quite put my finger on why I never miss them in Vim.

No, TLDR is: changing regulation.

I don't think that we would have done anything differently if we knew that China was responsible. It wouldn't have changed our treatments or vaccination strategies or anything. Could it have made some people who are crazy against China feel differently? Maybe. I don't think it would have made the doofuses who took ivermectin act differently though.
I don't know vim. I can type reliably at around ~120wpm and ~150 if I concentrate and it's standard prose. I can't edit code as fast as VIM users and I know this is true, I keep wanting to learn VIM so I can, but I also just plain can't be arsed as it's not the bottleneck necessarily for me it just makes some editing actions more tedious not knowing VIM.

Great examples of this I see regularly watching coding streams are what look like "macros" that replay the last editing actions. Seems super powerful when replacing a word etc (and not all languages have proper support for variable renaming etc).
