> Likewise, sex and gender were always seen as one and the same and interchangeable.

They’re often used interchangeably, but they’re two separate concepts:

Sex is the body’s reproductive role - males produce sperm and inseminate females who produce ova and gestate fertilised eggs into mini-humans.

Gender is a set of socially constructed stereotypes concerning how men and women should generally look, think, act and feel - traditionally men are masculine and women feminine.

At least in the UK 2nd wave feminism sought to reject gender on the basis that it was sexist (discriminated between the sexes) in a way that limited and harmed particularly female people as individuals, but also males. They saw gender as part of a masculine / patriarchal (rule of the father) system of female oppression.

I won’t write an essay (not what HNs is about) but that’s why some people have issues with gender being used as a synonym for sex.
I don't know if I'd say this is reinventing themselves, or at least not from the ground up, they've been somewhat active in the open source LLM scene for some time now. Not that releasing dolly alone caused some major foundational shift, but it was a solid contribution. Additionally, acquiring Mosaic fills a pretty gaping hole in their existing product offering. The whole process of pretraining, fine-tuning, and evaluating open source LLMs in production is a total nightmare currently. Mosaic's stack at least attempts to make that better (on top of releasing solid foundational models themselves).

> “corporate leaders under pressure to get their data ready for AI”. That has nothing to do with LLMs

I agree that its buzzwordy and a little abstract. But also in my experience, getting "data ready for AI" is actually the primary constraint many orgs have with respect to using LLMs in an enterprise context. Their data is not stored in a way thats easy to tokenize/label/embed for effective training or fine-tuning. And you could argue the preprocessing actually should the easy part for non-ML devs to tackle, as its primarily a software engineering problem. Yet, its still the thing that keeps many folks from getting started (before you even get to attempt to tackle the inference problem).
If the mother isn't doing her job, yes, that sucks.

Energy system struggles in face of geopolitical and environmental crises
Japan had a fast reactor program. To fuel that fast reactor, they had spent fuel from their reactors reprocessed (in Europe) and the plutonium separated. They have a stockpile of tonnes of reactor grade Pu (which, contrary to assertions, can be used in weapons, particularly if you have access to tritium for boosting, which they do.)

Japan's fast reactor program has enabled them to do a kind of deniable proliferation, stockpiling enough Pu for ~1000 bombs, without actually building the bombs yet. Smart of them; it's an insurance policy against China in case the US nuclear umbrella were to suddenly disappear.

To power the world with nuclear needs breeders, so Pu separation will likely be everywhere. And the Pu obtained from the blanket of a fast breeder is even purer 239Pu than so-called "weapons grade".
As the headline somewhat buries the lede, context here:

- The 72nd annual Statistical Review of World Energy, something of a bible (or at least yearbook) of global energy use, has been published today. The link to the actual report is buried in obscurity at the bottom of the page: <http://www.energyinst.org/statistical-review>

- This is the report formerly known as the BP (British Petroleum) Annual Statistical Review. The report was transferred to the Energy Institute and KPMG in February of this year.

Several headline findings, notably:

- COVID-19 continues to impact global energy consumption, generally, and within specific regions and energy classes. There's both some recovery and regions (notably China, with reduced aviation fuel usage) continued reduction from pre-COVID levels.

- Overall energy growth slowed, though usage increased, "3% above the 2019 pre-COVID level".

- Renewables reached 7.5% of total primary energy consumption, up 1% annually.

- CO2 emissions "continued to rise to a new high growing 0.8% in 2022 to 39.3 GtCO2e, with emissions from energy use rising 0.9% to 34.4 GtCO2."

- Oil consumption continued to increase (rising by 2.9 million barrels/day to 97.3 m b/d) as did prices ($101/bbl Brent crude).

- Natural gas prices reached record levels, whilst demand declined 3% annually.

- Fossil fuel share is steady at 82%.

- Coal usage increased globally, along with prices.

- Renewables (excluding hydro) grew 14%.

The report now also includes coverage of lithium carbonate and cobalt prices and production.

The way that this book answered its title question was unsatisfying to me. It felt like it was so focused on the data structure of embeddings that it totally glossed over questions about what the structures mean, why they work so well, and emerging research issues in embeddings.

It's like if someone wrote a book called "What is consciousness?" and just provided an annotated list of neurotransmitters. That approach leaves a lot out.
You did, you even replied for a moment removing the "tend" with an imaginary quote:

> You said tend sure, but still defined masculine as "something women do not have". See the lack of Tend there.

Tend was always there in my comment - twice.

But even excepting that, there are still flaws in your argument.

Firstly, my question was not related to biological essentialism. You can define "masculine" and "feminine" in a cultural context and still run into the same problem - which masculine traits, in the current cultural environment, are positive?

Secondly, we can trivially see from your examples that toxic and positive are flip-sides of the same thing. Traits you might define as positive, e.g. competitiveness and leadership require a degree of stoicism which would, in modern feminist terms, also be "toxic". Leaders of businesses can't be too concerned with putting their competitors out of a job, you can't lead an army (never mind fight in one) as a quivering wreck.
Thank you!

All the content is user-submitted, and we rely on Instagram and Twitter for traffic. Some influencers spread the word and it really got things rolling.

We're actually competing with Tokopedia and Shopee, but they're not exclusively for second-hand clothing, although it's allowed there. We reached out to some sellers and found the turnover rate to be high, but it requires a lot of effort.

For pickup and delivery, we collaborate with couriers like Grab and Gojek. Additionally, we've partnered with a company/API that handles pickups and deliveries when a seller makes a sale on our platform, taking advantage of affordable postage in Indonesia.

Thrifting in Indonesia is booming, with Instagram as the main hub for buying and selling. Surprisingly, there's no (modern) dedicated platform like those in the West for the Indonesian market.

So, I created one, and it gained rapid traction. Now, I'm figuring out how to take it to the next level.

> The user is generally never the adversary in any legitimate security situation.

First, this isn't correct, for instance, DRM and TPM.

Second, "the user" does not have direct access to the computer internals, which means all such access is mediated by programs that are supposed to act on the user's behalf. But because software is not formally verified, we have no guarantee that they do so, and so we must assume that any program purporting to run on the user's behalf is intentionally or unintentionally malicious. This is where the principle of least privilege comes from.

What to do about multiple parenting styles that are at odds with one another (sometimes even in the same household)?
How about the baggage that parents are carrying that influence how they’re gonna parent, many of those suitcases inherited from their parents?
That’s one thing for sure, but some parents aren’t even parenting for various reasons, not enough time, lack of responsibility or not being around for various reasons. If we could tackle all that we’d basically get a much better society but it’s a nearly impossible problem to solve in a practical way…
How does this work with mounting/unmounting, power cycling, etc.
One can absolutely make an argument for a great many risks to be classified under security concern: there are certainly more than just these two. Doing so is simply reductio ad absurdum.

To expand on this, we can if we choose classify all parental controls under general access control, and within a principle of least privilege further classify the following as legitimate security risks:
- access to the internet
- access to a keyboard
- read access to a disk

There are absolutely scenarios one can contoct where these are real concerns. The settings panel of a general-purpose consumer device doesn't fit that venn diagram for me. Is it a bug: yes. Is it a security bug: no.

Primarily as a guess.

The morality of a company is more of a secondary factor, though. The things I care most about are if I feel their system is trying to take advantage of me, the consumer, rather than how it treats it's employees. I realize that sounds horrible, but we're not generally privy to what happens behind closed doors. Amazon makes headlines on a regular enough basis to make that sort of abuse common knowledge.

If a company like Newegg acts the same way, it's not something that I am routinely made aware of.

I love reggae and most of the vibes rasta people bring. But I really cannot listen closely to most of the common lyrics.

Praising Haile Selassi sounds only good, when you don't know much about his actually reign.

I recommend Ryszard Kapuściński's book about him:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor_(book)

(And then there are Ragga hits like Chi Chi mon from TOK, which translates to burn the gays)

So in my conclusion, most of the theoretical theological ideology/religion is wishful thinking of a oppressed minority/ex slaves in poverty who dream of a better future.

And some of them turned to fanatic bigoted racists themself. And some just want to live the good life, avoiding conflict wherever possible. With those you can get along very fine..

(And my favourite reggae band alive - groundation - is mostly white and not from Jamaica, but I really don't care about that)
Knuth's volume that goes over different number systems was a ton of fun. Goes over some of the interesting ideas behind such things as two's compliment numbers, as well.

That is, even within the same base, you can have different ways of doing things. "Balanced ternary" is the one that seems like it had the most potential outside of binary, in a computer. That ship has firmly sailed, at this point.

But that's not really a problem. The world has plenty of children. If you visit the border of Mexico you can probably snag a handful. Given their state of poverty they won't even mind.

So to the original question. What does it mean for a birthrate to be "too low". Too low for what? Sustaining some level of GDP output? Propping up Wal-marts bottom line with fresh souls to work the checkout counter?

I'm a big fan of the Fibonacci base: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding

It has the nice property that it's a) binary, and b) each number contains a '11' substring at the end, but nowhere else. This makes it slightly less efficient than the usual base 2 binary, but handles variable length integers nicely; you always know where one number ends and the next begins, so you don't have to worry about overflow or specifying the length of a number.

Sensible for who? Companies may try to estimate costs of maintenance vs rewrite, but individuals need to make the final call and for them the benefits usually go the other way.

Maintaining some existing project is going to get you nothing if you do it right and will bring you problems if it breaks despite your best efforts. Rewriting an existing system in a new tech stack counts as exciting innovative work for promotion purposes, or at least prepares your CV for your next job hop. With salary bumps between levels being what they are in software, I'm not surprised people choose the more lucrative option.

Well, this I think is hard to argue against.

Historically, women had much fewer options in life. Basically, marry someone they don't pick, give them babies and look after the house. Poorer women had to work super hard, wealthier women less so, but were subordinate to the husbands whims, physically if nothing else.

Where voting was a thing, they couldn't vote. They were often not in control of their finances. They were cut off from education, office, "manly" hobbies. Then a very real glass ceiling - certainly a thing in 20th century.

This is focusing on the negatives of course but it would be hard to argue they had equal rights.

Totally agree about the mobile aspect. Initially, I focused on making the website mobile-first, but we received numerous requests for a mobile app.

Since I'm not well-versed in mobile development and we're self-funded with a tight budget, I opted to super optimize the website for mobile instead. I figured optimizing for free traffic through SEO would be a fantastic starting point. Surprisingly, I stumbled upon a ton of high-traffic keywords with little to no competition, which got me pretty excited.

> We inherited a world where for many generations, men were hostile to women. It was unfair and needed rectifying.

> hyper focus on promoting outcomes for girls while doing nothing of the sort for boys.

I feel this bit of your context inspires some really useful analysis.

My perspective is that we have finished the easy part, having made progress on the most obvious harms. The work that remains is dealing with more deeply embedded issues - and that they are far more subtle and complex. We can see evidence of those issues manifested, when and where there is hostility toward women and for our systems that effectively safeguard them from historical risks.

And as ever, the group with the best insight to puzzle out how to proceed is the group that suffered. I believe this is true, even if they're still working it out (because it is immensely complicated). They will work it out, if we give them enough room and trust to do so.

As far there is an imbalance in fulfilling the needs of children, the most worthwhile solutions should be ones that are loving, inclusive and sow a unanimity that uplifts everyone toward their individual potentials. If girls are in a better place, then bringing boys into into that place seems like what we should try next.
