Just a pointer for people to read up on Federalist and Democratic-Republican ideological differences at the time, even though they are often downplayed, and we also live in an age of thrashing on Jefferson being de rigeur. The US history plays out in constant schizophrenia between belief in sovereignty of the people (including the right to disobey, which actually has some European feudal roots) and belief in republic as a convenient framework for the people being ruled by enlightened gentry. The general outline of this was formed already during the debate on the proposed Constitution.
Of course that is good.

However, what happens when the so-called “criminal” is actually a non-criminal person that the government/powers-that-be deem a threat.

Perhaps that person has made efforts to remain anonymous, then their cousin gave up their DNA. The “threat” then becomes de-anonymized and is targeted.

Not surprising when you have undergrads calling a seemingly reputable paper almost fraud. I certainly can not blame them for the tone.
I have trouble taking people seriously who don’t understand basic economic constraints. The company loses about $170m/year. Without VC money it would have either been dead, sold, or a shadow of what it is.
I used to contribute to the project back in v1 days. I'm not sure if the architecture has changed since then, but basically it worked by compiling the game logic as a kind of byte code that got interpreted at run time.
Other way around. When you include people who hate, you get included in their hate.
> So to be faithful to what Jesus did it's important to use the same type of wine He used.

But the last supper wasn't a Catholic mass. Why is this one arbitrary detail so important when the entire ritual bears only a superficial resemblance to a dinner held by Jews in 33AD Jerusalem?

It seems odd that the man who said (paraphrasing because I don't want to look it up) "The Sabbath was made to serve men, not men the Sabbath" would insist on such pedantry.
That’s because it is easy to use. Maybe you use too much python or Java but go was designed to specifically allow people to memorize the entire syntax, truly.

Want to make a function or variable or field public? Just capitalize it. That’s it.

Error handling? Check if the error isn’t nil and handle it, otherwise move on. No need for silly things like try except.

And there are no magic functions because everything is explicit.

Go is just simple and pleasant to use.
In a way, these points are roughly how modern computers work.

For instance, let's say you bought a new PC in 2017 with a high end graphics card. Your CPU was probably manufactured on 14nm processes, your GPU on 16nm, your RAM from 16 to 20nm, and your motherboard chipset on 22nm. It's been a similar story throughout computing.

Taking that idea and scaling it down to processor designs themselves is cool and no doubt faces hard technical challenges.
>The data from police does not reflect what businesses are reporting. This may be due to reclassification of crimes.

Why would people even bother to report crimes when nothing is done about them?
They manage but that doesn't mean it's good for learning.

But also, multiple symbols for a sound is a lot simpler than having two alphabets that work in completely different ways. And even worse is the two alphabets sharing symbols and giving them different interpretations.
Honestly, not surprised. Starbucks's strategy on unions seems to be to union-bust as viciously as possible with the thinnest of pretenses, and trust that the federal government will let them do it with a slap on the wrist (if anything), as it always has.

> It’s against the law to fire workers for organizing. But as Rizzo and the other Starbucks workers were learning, there’s also little to stop companies from doing it. The National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that oversees union elections and protects workers’ rights, has struggled to hold on to staff members amid deep budget cuts. Since 2010, it is down about 520 employees, or 30 percent of its workforce. The primary penalty that it can impose on companies for dismissing pro-union employees — reinstatement with back pay — has been a paltry deterrent, labor advocates said.

This punishment is so tiny it fails to qualify as a penalty at all.
> Maybe you've lived there so long you're blind to it.

I assure you that I'm very much not blind to it.

I'm super angry about how the city governors refuses to suppress the anti-housing faction, and lines their pockets at most every opportunity. But I'm definitely not blind to the folks living in the streets and their regular goings-on.

And while I'm angry about what the government is failing to do, I'm not _shocked_ and/or _appalled_ by what's happening on the streets. In my personal experience, I've found that folks who are shocked and/or deeply offended by a thing tend to remember the thing as being far more extreme than it actually was. shrug
Great, now you want them to be exposed to accusations and claims of discrimination, nice!

This issue is a new issue --it's not decades long. It's only become an issue since intersection of prop 47 with SF governance. This is why companies are only beginning to pull out now.

Unbelievably, SF already had loitering and vagrancy laws on the books, but the panhandle had to have a new more specific ordinance to address druggies blocking doorway entrances etc (the sit/lie law), of course, in typical fashion, it could only be enforced after a written warning and after a second it became a misdemeanor...

It's just easier and better to find a place that's friendlier to business.

You can make poisons without nuclear materials just fine. Keep in mind, that regular heavy metals also don't go away.

The nuclear material in casks is not _that_ dangerous because of its long half-life. So dirty bombs made from it would not result in a significant loss of life. They'll just result in a very expensive cleanup of the affected areas.

I saw the benchmark which seemed crazy (3us per transition and allocations). So looked quickly at the code.

Recommend putting the tracking of previous states in a separate optional debugging type so you don’t have to pay the cost in general. Oh and using time stamps as a key is kinda weird, but even weirder in Go where maps are non-deterministically enumerable.

Otherwise, seems like a good use of generics, given Golangs particular take on it.
Exponential growth of recursively self-improving AI happens simultaneously in several dimensions.

1. Better algorithms, more efficient, faster, more capable.
2. Better hardware, for example bespoke chips for each particular common computation. Could figure out molecular computing as Drexler predicted.
3. Recruit more computer capacity. Every networked computer could be used by a well-funded AI willing to pay enough.
4. Applying AI to exponentially increasing quantity of tasks by progressive decomposition of tasks into subtasks. Each worked in parallel as needed.
5. AGI would interact with the physical world with robotics that it designs, manufactures and operates.

If this is correct, then we could expect what AI-safety folks name "FOOM". Link: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/t8dtuYXPhwt93PstB/requiremen...

If encouraged, as opposed to restrained, FOOM could happen days after AGI has the means to improve in the above dimensions. The hardware dimension would be limited at first by the human supply chain, and those limits would be gone when AGI runs its own supply chain - perhaps within a year after AGI.

If your only reasoning behind releasing an open source project is to receive uncritical accolades just for producing open source, then I think you need to examine your motives and seriously question why you expected this deference in the first place.
Quietly, digital ASIC validation has gotten very cheap and quick over the last 20 years thanks to the proliferation of software models and compilers that translate Verilog to C++ (which are literally orders of magnitude faster than previous simulators). I'm not surprised that Tenstorrent has been doing well with that, given the expertise they have.
If philosophers wouldn’t exist without forcing others to give them money, then that reinforces their worthlessness. After all, someone’s usefulness is by definition how much others are willing to give for something they do, and for philosophers that quantity seems to be $0. Sciences seem to have no such problem with voluntary funding, bell labs is a great example.

If you went to a school where STEM students were forced to take a humanities course but humanities students did not have to take a calculus sequence, then you experienced the thing I described.
The expansion of ritual purity into everyday mundane life was an active area of dispute in the judaism of christ's time & place. He certainly would have been aware of the general concept and most likely had a take on it.

In fact there's a historically grounded secular interpretation of the good samaritan parable indicating it's at least partially about exactly this. According to contemporaneous jewish moral norms, the priest in the parable has valid reason to avoid what he thinks is a dead body but only if he has a ritual duty to perform in temple in the near future. In the parable he is traveling "down from jersusalem" eg his duty is complete for now. Jesus is coming down against him maintaining ritual purity without a specific liturgical duty to.
Not an API, but still doable to a certain scale. I've gotten image input to work with my bot. Apple once temporarily banned me for suspicious activity but after a quick call to support they lifted it. If I got more traffic maybe they'd ban it again, I'm not sure.

The vast, vast majority of districts in the US respond to every single 911 call reporting anything of consequence.

Maybe there are still "a lot" of places where that's not true, but I think that phrasing misrepresents the state of policing in the US.

Many things scale favorably in larger cities: people served/foot of water & power lines, street maintenance, etc. But adequate policing seems to scale at a flat or maybe even inverse rate: the tighter people are packed the more police presence per person is needed to keep the "peace" constant and crime solve rates low.

(Admittedly, the above is at best anecdata from having lived in many larger and small cities in the US and abroad.)

DEI usually translates to "D>E>I" in such organizations. DEI personnel are far too often the bullies, not the bullied.
>A simple experiment would vastly improve this book and make for a marvelous case study chapter: let him spend a year managing a mid-size organization, say 60-80 employees, but one which does not have an adequately staffed HR department, or perhaps does not have an HR department at all. Then let him report back to us.

I've been in a couple organizations of around 100 people with no HR at all. They did just fine. One of them got one HR person when it got to 120 employees, mainly because it wanted to sell and potential buyers would see them as "more serious" that way - not because it was needed for daily functioning (and growing just fine).

HR mostly became necessary in the litigious happy countries as a means of ass covering. Even in the US such sized companies used to work just fine without HR or with just a person or so back in the day.
That "cope" is by a Stanford PhD economics student who has a Wharton MBA and Harvard MPA, and worked at Goldman Sachs.

The data supports the "cope". At 58.4%, the US dollar's share of global currency reserves is comparable to that in 1995 and 1985. It has declined from its 21st-century high, but so has the Euro. The renminbi has more than doubled ... from 1.1 to 2.7%.<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency#Global_curren...>
Formal logic is taught in Mathematical Logic class (intermediate, optional) or Discrete math (intro/intermediate, often not taken)

Geometry class in high school sometimes teaches some of it.

Computer science Binary logic teaches some of (De Morgan's laws)

Outside of New Math of the 1970s, it is a glaring omission from the curriculum.

Even enriched classes like Art of Problem Solving that put heavy emphasis on proofs, do not teach formal logic.
So their website says the offer a copy of MathType for Office 2021... Why does Microsoft ship such an old version? Did the licensing deal fall through? I'm surprised they still have this in Office if they're not going to use the latest version.
Reading that it's specific to an 8th amendment claim.

It definitely is horrific. It looks like further Supreme Court cases allowed actual innocence claims under other standards, or for specific types of evidence. All of these were close decisions though, and I fear what a more 'conservative' court will allow.

A few years back for fun, I learned to say the alphabet backwards as quickly as I could. I used basically the same technique I use as a musician to learn complex phrases; start with a short sequence (like "z y x w") and repeat it over as slowly as you need, and increase the speed as you get better at it, then either extend it a few more letters (e.g. "z y x w v u t") using the same strategy or learn the sequence starting with the next letter separately ("v u t s r q") and then "glue" them together when you're proficient with both. It took me only a few minutes of practice to get the whole alphabet this way, and it's stuck fairly well despite not really ever practicing it other than to occasionally show people as a party trick. Strangely, the letters seem to work better in that order for me; I can actually say the alphabet faster backwards rather than forwards, although it's hard for me to to tell if that's actually due to the sounds blending better objectively or due to the fact that I tend to have a bit of trouble with enunciating clearly in general and the "backwards" route skipping some learned bad habits that the forwards route uses.

Since I don't drink any alcohol and don't drive, I can't imagine I'd ever have a chance to use this in a field sobriety test, but I also suspect that a cop who pulled me over wouldn't find it particularly amusing, so I wouldn't be eager to try it anyways.

Gunplay and movement is not the essence of doom, you can't even jump or aim vertically. For me Doom is a monster blast fest on easy difficulty but becomes a strategy game on the hardest ones. A game that seems hard at first but when you find and develop the best approaches it becomes easy.

Sort of. So you're pulled over for a brake light that's out. Then, they start asking "Where are you coming from?", "Why are you here?", "Do you live near here? (when they already have your address)", "If you're coming from that far, why don't you have luggage?" etc.

I guess you can try to give as terse an answer as possible without coming across as rude? Saying nothing is your right, but they have lots of power to generate consequences if they don't like it.
This is totally undiscoverable, I also only just realised.
It's funny, I always hear about how US police are militarized, but then when I go to Europe I see actual military soldiers carrying assault rifles while doing what seems to me like police duty all over the place in major cities. That's not something I see here.

There is no evidence in the bible what kind of wine Jesus used. Wine in biblical times could refer to fermented or unfermented drink.

During Jesus lifetime, there is archeological evidence that apices and fruits - including pomegranates, mandrakes, saffron and cinnamon - were used to flavour wines, and tree resin were added to help preserve them.

So, the wine drank at the Last Supper might actually resemble the mulled wine some of us drink at Christmas.

Basically, this has nothing to do with being faithful to Jesus, but more with archaic rules that were agreed upon centuries after Jesus' lifetime.They are canonical to Catholic teachings though.
In some senses that will be the greatest damage. We live our lives in the fictions we share, using them as touchstones for how we talk to each other. Generative AI is the genie we've let out of the bottle, and we keep making wishes.
Yup, but at least you know they’ll give you, money.
That’s not a very accurate way of saying "it could go supernova anytime in the next 100,000 years" meaning that it almost certainly won’t go during our lifetimes. Unless we’ll live for a long time which of course is not entirely out of the question.

Also, I’m pretty sure there’s no non-fake live stream of Betelgeuse on Youtube because it would require several robotic telescopes around the world programmed to coordinate and stream from wherever it’s a) night and b) Betelgeuse in the sky.

As JSON must be in Unicode (I think the latest RFC restricts it to UTF-8), there's no actual _need_ to escape emoji. But if you do need to (perhaps you're in an ASCII-only environment), you have to do it that way, yes. Weird. (I asked once, on Stack Overflow, why this was the case, and was merely told that it was historical reasons, which matches what you surmised: it's a relic.)

I've been making a game using GBDK (C) and a little engine called ZGB for the past several years, but the work that Chris and the team have done on GB Studio makes me want to switch to the platform. I'll still finish my game using C because I'm so far into development now there's no point in starting over, but if I was starting fresh, GB Studio would be the way to go.

That said, I'm glad I made my game in C because I've learned so much more about coding. I feel like I get better every day. Not sure I would have that same experience using GB Studio.
