Developing and printing photographs absolutley is an art form. Many books on developing and printing are quick to point out that Ansel Adams was celebrated more for what he did in the dark room than for the subject matter or composition.
It just means: if you create a subreddit, you don’t own it in any way. You’re granted permission to be its custodian. If your behaviour does not create value / if you anger the Reddit gods, you will be replaced.
I think big context only makes sense for document analysis.

For programming you want to keep it slim. Just like you should keep your controllers and classes slim.

Also people with 32k access report very very long response times of up to multiple minutes which is not feasible if you only want a smaller change or analysis.

If we buy into the fact that we can account for "culture" onto this distribution, this article assumes that the distribution has remained the safe size and shape, and so he draws the conclusion that the long tail is declining or disappearing.

But the nature of the long tail is that it is comprised of a series of outliers. To use the author's analogy, what might be happening is that there's a distributional shift occurring at the same time the general amount of "stuff" under the curve is increasing, which gives the appearance that things have become more alike, even though what has actually happened is that the bump has just gotten bigger.
I'm of two minds on that.

On one hand: yes, more data will inform future technical approaches and procedures.

On the other hand: no, people are technically ignorant, xenophobic, and more willing to scapegoat and project anger than reflect on their own behavior.

> Not once have I ever downloaded someone's Python project from github and tried to install the dependencies and run it has it ever gone smoothly and without issue.

Same here. If it can't resolve dependencies or whatever, then there will almost certainly be some kind of showstopping runtime error (probably because of API changes or something). I avoid Python programs at all cost nowadays.
Yep, a local pub used to give large portion sizes on in person or takeout orders. Then one day we ordered and it was like half the size as normal but of course the same price. Thought it was maybe just a fluke so we gave them a second chance. Unfortunately the portions will still the same smaller size. I proceeded to update my review to indicate the change in portion sizes with the same price. However I noticed many older reviews still indicating large portion sizes as well as even new reviews saying it. Because many new people wouldn't even have the comparison to how it used to be.

So you're getting both new reviewers (or travelers) who don't know it used to be better who still call it good, mixed with old reviews calling it good.

It's not even just a management change that causes this. This is when you almost wish Google maps would put your location history to use. It sees you visit the place frequently and thus if you stop visiting and leave a negative review it should weigh that review higher and give it more visibility. An old stale review or a review from someone who visited once I don't think should be as impactful or useful on the experience.

Overall I find discovering new places to be frustrating as reviews often seem useless. Usually I find the best method of discovering new places is still via word-of-mouth in person.

> But then as soon as you put a cost associated with saving a life, the whole idea of safety first goes out the window. In this case, underrides are clearly avoidable and really don't cost that much to prevent. Retrofitted truck solutions are available, cheap, and easy to install.

There's a reasonable argument to not even bother with retrofitting. This has been a known issue for decades, just start building it into new trailers, and eventually the old trailers will age out and/or become uninsurable.

Unfortunately Luc's hypothesis was not explored because, as you will see from googling his name, he became the topic of debunking and adhomenim. And maybe some of his views on other topics were wrong, but his comments on this subject have aged well.

After an hour of googling I finally found a reference to his original hypothesis.

"According to him, the altered elements of this virus are eliminated as it spreads: “Nature does not accept any molecular tinkering, it will eliminate these unnatural changes and even if nothing is done, things will get better, but unfortunately after many deaths.”"

My understanding is that the loss of smell from early COVID tends to be fairly profound. It makes food disgusting. You can burn food on the stove and not smell it even after the fire alarm goes off. And it recovers slowly. It isn't like the usual changes in taste/smell during an infection which are mostly due to the symptoms of rhinitis and clear up when they clear up.

This shop where I got my copy from is still selling them for 46 Euro a pop: https://www.buecher.de/shop/raumfahrt/apollo-remastered/saun...

I bought it after reading The Guardian's excerpt with a lot of great pictures: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/26/apollo-space...

> Digital scans of the transparencies are often underexposed and difficult to process. The images shown here are derived from new, high-resolution scans of the original film, painstakingly restored using image-enhancement technology.

I think the "jabroni" was hired to make the best quality reproduction out of these films for NASA's own archive, my guess was he probably negotiated a deal where he'd be allowed to publish these photos.

I do wonder if public domain means they must be accessible online too?

Edit: on the Guardian excerpt, the photo credits include ASU, I found this site which talks about their work thawing the films and doing high-resolution, high bitrate (e.g. 14-bit grayscale) scans: http://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/about, and this site also offers about 26000 scans of the films.

But the ASU scans are still not enhanced, e.g. the cover of the book, AS09-24-3665 from:

- Flickr, 2015 upload: https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/217878648...

- ASU scan: http://tothemoon.ser.asu.edu/gallery/Apollo/9/Hasselblad%205...

Wow I just noticed the download link on the ASU page, it offers a raw download of that single image which is about 1.3 GB...
This article is intentionally written to sidestep the victim driver's own responsibility. It's hard to underride into a truck if you're driving attentively.

That's not to say they are wrong, if the fix is as simple and as cheap as described. I do value the expose of the politics around the non-action, even if TFA has other faults.

Mandatory AEB (automatic emergency braking) systems should address it to some degree, albeit only in new cars. There's no reason we shouldn't do both.
that was published in 2021 about data from march 2020 to nov 2020, its completely irrelevant. I mean can you at least try?

also, even if vaccines did stop transmission your argument still doesnt make sense. I can protect myself by being vaccinated. I dont give a shit if the person next to me is unvaccinated, im already protected myself. If you decide not to, you are consenting to increased risk.

Well, I suppose I'm "agnostic," too. That's my point. I have no need to be certain one way or the other, so it's better to have "good enough" confidence, which I prefer to get from a (well-informed!) "gut feeling," rather than delegating my confidence metrics to some authority who can deliver me the latest proclamations of truth from on high.

Did it actually impact me in any way to decide whether I thought a natural or lab origin was more likely? No, probably not. But I'm an avid internet commenter and so naturally I spent time reading and posting about this stuff.

But there is one tangible benefit to the time I invest in researching controversies like this when the news story first breaks: I can save time in the future when the narrative changes, by skimming stories to see if they contain new information or merely reframe existing data. At least, that's how I justify the amount of time I spent reading about this stuff in 2020...

Fun fact, I created this pseudononymous HN account to post wrongthink about Covid origins - one of my first posts [0] about it was flagged (and unflagged about a year later when I complained about it in a similar comment to this one).

> We really need to implement solutions better than "go be homeless somewhere else."

Until you get the significant cohort of homeless who have serious medical conditions proper treatment, everything is simply rearranging the same deck chairs.

The "homeless" are not a uniform block. The woman fleeing her vengeful, abusive husband, the LGBTQ teenager thrown out of the house, the veteran with a traumatic brain injury, and the woman having succumbed to heroin addiction are all "homeless" but all have VERY different needs for making them "not homeless".
A computer with limited amount of memory is also theoretically not turing complete. So it might still mean that a transformer with floats comes close.
Seems like the future would be better served by putting safeguards in whether or not China was responsible. What safeguards specifically are you proposing, and why do they demand a culprit?
> What do you have to say about that?

I think that despite the efforts of any of those people, I never stop hearing about these "bombshells" which are trivially disproven. There has been no new evidence or anything of lab leaks since early 2020 and I am just tired of hearing the same things over and over.
Thank you, this is a huge problem with maps search results. It's showing too many results and the ranking is rubbish. Searching for coffee shows tons of low quality results including ones for Target and McDonald's.
Remember when insinuating the Chinese lab leak theory meant you were a racist? Good times, really united the country during a time of crisis.

Neat, thanks for that last link. It could use a table of contents but it did contain more information related to the DEFUSE grant proposal which is what I have thought of as being indicative of a lab leak.

Sadly that article doesn't disprove that theory, but it does detail its weaknesses which is a good enough jumping off point for further reading.
Given the location, the timing, the symptoms, the severity of the illness (it's unusual for 'flu to put healthy young adults in hospital) I think we can be pretty confident in our guess.

The rationale at the time was that Musk was refusing to pay so that he could cut a better deal with Twitter, which might even be true, but it was still a stupid waste of time (and money paid to lawyers).

The punchline of all this is that his main argument was that bots devalued Twitter, and the bot problem has become so much worse in recent months, to the extent that it's become a meme to mess with the bots that sell t-shirts.

Used cars are not supply-constrained. Inventory is declining only because new car supply has been so suppressed over the past couple years, but that doesn't mean they're running out any time soon. So the opportunity cost on the individual level is as I describe: do you reutilize an existing car or do you incarnate (heh) a new one with your market participation? It's true that your new car will likely be someone else's used car, but the argument has a whiff of trickle-down-style economic reasoning that would take more space to unpack.

Further, more demand for used cars would spur the industry to reclaim/refurb salvage titles that were otherwise destined for the scrap heap and sell them on.

We could easily do this wrong, e.g. by shipping busted cars overseas, having them refurbed there, and shipping them back. Or we could do it right and create jobs in America that would stimulate economic activity locally.
I am somewhat shocked that Google or Facebook or TikTok haven’t taken this as an opportunity to rush to the market to fill the void. Never before has this space been so ripe for the taking by a company with the resources to get something to market.

Tacit Knowledge: A Key to Skill Development
Tacit knowledge, knowledge that cannot be easily captured through words alone, is a vital component of skill acquisition. It exists in various fields, from bicycle riding and sports to knowledge work and surgery. People often struggle to explain the intricacies of their expertise, resorting to heuristics, exceptions, and caveats that do not fully convey their abilities.

Attempting to extract tacit knowledge from experts and turn it into an explicit set of instructions often proves difficult. Expert systems in the 1970s aimed to replace human operators with encoded expertise, but they faced numerous challenges due to the complex nature of expert knowledge.

Tacit knowledge is something that probably can only be progressively learned through imitation, emulation, and apprenticeship.

The author, it seems, falls for the same sorts of things I mentioned.

That was not my intent. The point of the essay was exactly the opposite. Maybe I fall for the same stuff, but Eliezer is a very smart guy who was predisposed (as he makes clear in the essay) to believe that the people he met were all fluff. He was surprised that they were not just demonstrably knowledgeable, but, in addition, had other appealing characteristics.

I don't think the name "Transformer" is meant in the sense of "transforming between file formats".

My intuition is that LLMs tend to be good at things human brains are good at (e.g. reasoning), and bad at things human brains are bad at (e.g. math, writing pptx binary files from scratch, ...).

Eventually, we might get LLMs that can open PowerPoint and quickly design the whole presentation using a virtual mouse and keyboard but we're not there yet.

I don’t think we’re disagreeing. I’m pointing out similarities and was trying to infer in you the interconnectedness of these parts of the economy. The knock on effects of increased interest rates cascade, just like the effects of increasing minimum wage, which necessarily demand an increase of the poverty line. To put this all together with a bow:

Interest rates increase

Cost of living increases

Wages increase

Minimum wage increases

Poverty line increases

Off of each line above are costs dependent on them that will react higher, with risk and premium margin, to account for them.

The fed is trying to get ahead of an inflationary spiral by causing just enough pain in markets to arrest price increases long enough to establish a semblance of price stability at which point they should hold to cement stability before gradually easing rates, if nothing else necessitates holds or hikes. excess profit taxes would’ve been a far less damaging tool to arrest inflation but American politicians are so thoroughly captured by the capital class that this was not even considered. Shame on Congress for this. It is important to note that EPT would not stop inflation, but would stop price gouging in its tracks so Congress could use fiscal policy to address pockets of inflation. Classic example of using the wrong tool. Once again the most vulnerable are suffering to prevent even a plateauing of profit to the capital class.

I also think it’s important to note that I’m arguing against my class interests in saying all this. I benefit greatly from policies like these and will continue to both profit off of these policies while advocating for their sunset.
Yeah fair enough. It definitely was the quickest and easiest approach to organizing fast given the circumstances

Name me one single objectively bad political movement which internally thought of themselves as bad or negative. There isn't one.

For me it isn't about the effectiveness or the blame it was that we spent 2 years where many fundamental and basic rights were suspended because of fear.

We could stop this research in it's tracks if the US government forced journals to not only refuse to publish dangerous research but also report the researchers to the authorities. Once you remove this incentive the whole demand and motivation for such reckless research collapses.
