> Is two pieces of bread with a third piece of bread in the middle a sandwich?

That's a fair point, but AI tools could also unlock higher potential for them to take on more workloads. Perhaps by maintaining the same number of paralegals or even hiring more, they could take on an exponentially higher number of cases than before. There's infinite room for new litigation as long as human society persists.
I think there are also some connotations associated with the idea of Empire that implies greater centralization and control.

One thing that's fairly interesting is how the British did not allow their monarch to become an Emperor, because of the traditional liberties associated with English monarchy and parliament.

When Queen Victoria became Empress of India, parliament only consented to her becoming a Queen-Empress, not an Empress-Queen, to emphasize the fact that Britain was still a kingdom.
I really thought the seemingly blatant stereotypical names were going to be a factor in the assessment.

Though I guess now that I think about it, I don’t know that I could point to a name that I think would be non-stereotypical in the 21st century. Maybe the names of the average upper middle class elementary school class - a lot of those seem to me to be pretty minimally correlated with ethnicity these days.

In a heavily white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant America of the not too distant past, there were clearly “default” names and “other” names, and I do think that’s less and less the case. Or at the very least, it’s no longer acceptable to think about the “default” names as being normal and every other type of name as signifying something outside the mainstream of society.

Still, there’s some deeply weird socioeconomic stuff that goes on with naming kids. There have got to be some good studies about those trends.

The internal pressure would have to be hundreds on atmospheres to offset the pressure outside. They would have to carry a lot more air at very high pressure on on the surface with more complicated and robust equipment to handle it. It would also make buoyancy management much harder. There's also the additional problem that there is a risk of gas narcosis above 3 atmospheres of pressure.

Great comment but the down d00ters can't handle using common sense and will happily swallow any narrative told to them by talking heads.
"evolved to deal with code"?
The article talks about modules at $0.17/watt, or $17 per 100 watts. The DIY prices for modules I see are around $1 per watt, and have been for a long time.

Yeah, we should just refuse to give away well as accept take homes when interviewing. There was the company where I and some other experience people decided to give someone a take home. And we regretted it because I think it took more than we thought. The one person that did well on it turned us down anyway.

Sorry, I just could not get past casting Mark Rylance as Cromwell. In the books, he, Cromwell, is described as a thug and a street brawler, albeit a clever and ambitious one. As much as I like Rylance I can’t see him in a pub brawl.
> That's why USA is also one of the most indebted country

By what metric? I just looked it up[1], and by % of GDP the USA is the 44th most indebted at 96%, between Tunisia and Guine-Bissau. 96% is quite low amongst first world countries.

I also got 11% and think that number may be a result of some kind of flawed calculation. The final chart distribution of each "vehicle" paints a much clearer picture.
Would anyone not call it a vehicle?
I think we are seeing the usual Freudian slip of "restoring trust as a goal". The same often seen with corrupt leadership in the wake of their latest scandal. It doesn't even occur to the speakers to lie about becoming worthy of the trust, as if transparency and accountability are unfathomable, lovecraftian concepts and that trust just exists to make people into puppets.

Here they complain of a lack of trust and 'disunity' but say nothing about why they are worthy of trust. Indeed they scapegoat information for it, what should be a basis of trust. It comes across as the same ole corrupt "shut up and be good pawns again" attitude.
I kinda answered in terms of "what interpretation of the sign gives parkgoers the best overall experience". Don't legal situations generally consider the spirit of the law, not just the letter of the law?

The HN guidelines come to mind here, they're a mix of more literal ("don't use uppercase for emphasis") and spirit/intent ("anything that good hackers would find interesting"). Seems to work here - but curious how many pedantic struggles dang & co. encounter.
"Hyperbolic space has a lot more space in it than flat space. The circumference of a circle grows linearly with the radius in flat space, but exponentially in hyperbolic space. There's a huge amount of room even just a short distance away from some given point."

So why can't the effect be simulated in Euclidean space by just using a bigger circle?
It doesn't say that. It says to ignore your own real life jurisdiction.

There may or not be exceptions in universe that this sign is in. The sign clearly has no exceptions however.
Iron curtain...
I would say those two things are very different. The ground (floors are inside) is the cooperating object upon which leading objects carry.

Since we're already taking it too far, I want to point out that you can have outside floors, and you can have floors that are not supported by the ground.

An airplanes floor in flight, or a dance floor in your backyard are examples of both.

> I always do exactly one commit with a commit time of exactly when they sent me the take home.

Amazing I'm mixed on companies looking at start and end times. I think it would be ridiculous for them to actually check, but at the same time I'm curious how many people are going way over the time limit. I wonder if I should go over the time limit or not.

> And no not specifically to "cheat". Just on principle. If they require BS I give them BS. Else it's just fun.

Maybe this is controversial to say, but in reality, we're all "cheating" because we have to.
There are some tricks you can try. But the most important one is to communicate to people that you don't think you're needed in a particular meeting and you're not going to attend.

You might also defer some meetings to your manager. Another trick I've had some success with is saying, "Sorry. I have a deadline and need to focus on meeting it. Could your record the meeting for me?" Usually they do and I watch the recordings late in the day when I'm tired and don't feel like working anyway.

Aside from that, you can and should insist on an uninterrupted block of time every day. Say four hours in the afternoon. Block it off on your calendar so you can have that focus time you wish you had. The hard part is enforcing it.

I've been in meetings with 20 people, where 17 of them never say a word. In those cases, I'm usually one of the silent ones, doing some real work while barely even paying attention to the meeting. Surprisingly, most people understand that and are okay with it. But it's really a last resort.

Good luck. Being in a meeting heavy environment can be stressful. Learn not to be a slave to it without being a grouch about it and people will respect you for having your priorities straight. You'll respect yourself more, too, for drawing boundaries and getting things done.
I don't think it really matters. The point I guess was that an ambulance or police car is obviously a vehicle, and obviously in the park. And yet enforcing this seemingly simple and logical rule becomes so absurd that some people would decide that a police car is not a vehicle just because it should be allowed in.
think of python wrapping other tools the same way bash does.
> It does seem odd they would want to set up a lab in close proximity to what they wanted to study

The lab was nowhere near the site of what they were studying.

The coronavirus strains came from a cave 600 miles away and brought to Wuhan for further study.

Again, none of these viruses have a unique furin cleavage site for ACE-2.

If you read the FOIA document requests, one of the people who got grant money said "I just can’t figure out how this gets accomplished in nature . . . it’s stunning. Of course, in the lab it would be easy to generate the perfect 12 base insert that you wanted.”.

This person afterwards did a complete u-turn and signed onto the infamous publication in The Lancet. A lot of people quickly did a u-turn around the exact same time.

Someone mentioned that this could counter intuitively make Putin stronger like a coup in Turkey in 2016 where they purged the opponents of the government after a failed coup.

But I have a hard time believing that. Hard to see how Putin can handle too much of this sort of thing.
Yes, this is the only thing I disagreed with the majority on, and that’s because I answered “was there a vehicle in the park”. I don’t think anyone disagrees that the vehicle should be able to go to the park and we should amend the rule. I came away thinking content moderation with better rules is actually quite achievable
Exactly. Then I've been wondering, how many people are actually going over the time? Are the reviewers actually checking any time stamps?
I can agree with that. I don’t work in the trades but i have a lot of respect for those that do, and it’s low risk in terms of job prospects.
It was crystal clear to you. Now imagine someone with diametrically opposed views - they also have an interpretation that is crystal clear.
Definitive proof? No.

Damning evidence? Yes.
Earliest photo of Al-Aqsa mosque and its surroundings back in 1844
That kind of proves the point. The starting paragraph asked you explicitly to ignore local laws or personal beliefs and take actions based on only the most literal definition of the rule, and yet almost half of people chose to ignore this and use their own rules. Like how they do for content moderation.
The pause itself or the end of the pause? Because I could see that criticism as easily being applied to both.
It's not Kanye's latest pair of shoes.
Lab leak proponents contain multitudes. Some believe it was developed as a weapon, and some believe it was being studied normally. Some believe the leak was accidental, and some believe it was a result of sabotage. Some seemingly can't decide what they believe, deploying arguments with no clear regard for which actual scenarios a given argument would support as long as it pokes a hole in the mainstream narrative.
Is there an android version of Lang AI? :(
Yes, defined terms are critical. As the exercise went on, I kept refining my mental model of what a “vehicle” was in the context of the park sign.

I eventually came up with a mental model that was something like “an artificially powered or mechanically advantaged means of conveyance or transport, especially one that creates negative externalities to other park goers inconsistent with typical use and enjoyment of public park space.” But that wasn’t absolute - the non-functional tank was, in my mind, quite obviously a vehicle, and so was prohibited. Someone at a higher pay grade is going to have to make an exception there. The skydiver - ehhh, it was a stretch to call him a vehicle, but by my heuristic he broke the sign’s rule.
That's amazing. I got a $30 gift card for one interview. It wasn't much, but TBH in the interview gauntlet I've put myself through it was nice to get even the most basic recognition that my time is money.

I don't even understand why it became political. What incentive do people on the left have to deny the obvious conclusion that it came from the lab?
Do content moderation rules define "violence" or "harassment"?

> often to be about being motorized or speed.

This more precise definition would include the toy car, quadcopter, ISS, and airplane, all of which fewer than 20% of respondents believe are vehicles.

> It also suggests that there is only one rule that should be followed.

It doesn't actually. It asks if a particular rule has been violated, not whether the violation is or should be acceptable (and it makes that distinction very explicitly even!).

The objections you have to the exercise don't actually seem that well founded, and the analogy appears even better due to the nature of your objections.

Well in that case the whole ruse of the park is pointless, and the game should just be "click the words that are vehicles". And matchbox cars and space stations are included.
My guess is because flash chips are quirky and not very interchangeable. The error correction, wear leveling, etc all probably needs to be configured and calibrated to the specific chips used in a way that only can really be done by the manufacturer or a really big OEM like Apple.
> their standards were too high

They could simply be wrong. I've seen people demand the wrong solution. I've seen tests with bad instructions.

Most people are not good at producing test
That doesn't really detract from the cluster of coincidences.
this is a great journey! what volume of data were you analyzing?

more you could try:

- span multiple machines, with lambda/ec2-spot and s3

- write c/cpp, call via python subprocess or cffi

- pytorch gpu on ec2-spot
That's exactly what it told the reader to do. Ignore everything else but the literal question, is it violating the rule of no vehicles in the park.

Unfortunately, American politics end up being very divisive. The right has been calling this the China virus since the beginning. Anything that can be used to show that's 'true' will result in the right's echo chamber amplifying it.

As for the left, well I am not sure there is an official position other than waiting for more data. China is definitely sus but they are always like that from a western perspective so I don't know that I weight it much.

Other than the smugness in watching the right be wrong again, I am not aware of anyone on the left that is invested in either outcome.

It's a matter of waiting for the crucial data being found. How long did it take us to pin point the source of other pandemics?

Jim backs his RV into the park. He does so without his vehicle entering the park.

Pam comes to the park and begins to live in Jim's RV.

Bob, an alien, lands his spaceship in the park and initiates first contact.

Tim, a pipercub pilot, lands his plane in the park after suffering an engine failure.

Sam rides the subway home underneath the park.

Jordan, a maintenance worker, repairs a broken light in the park from his cherrypicker.

Robert, Jordan's boss, alleges he broke the rule. Another light needs to be replaced, so Robert fixes it, but ensures the cherrypicker's wheels are outside the park.

Tom, a tow truck driver, tows Tamika's car.

Bill emails a complete 3d cad model of a car, which happens to use a fiber line running under the park.
Cars/trucks/motorcycles aren't allowed, and obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

Obviously emergency vehicles are going to do what they need to do, but even if they are allowed to break the rule they are still breaking the rule.

I also think a park sign that says no vehicles also applies to bicycles and skateboards.
Sure, and in many subreddits the moderators would remove comments like that. But what's notable about this incident is that admins are taking the unusual action of removing comments.
The 2023-56 proceeding has seen hundreds of comments in favour of access to FTTP facilities by individuals. Out of all of the comments my helper evaluated there were only 2 against providing access to incumbent FTTP -- one was a comment by a Rogers director, while the other was an incoherent rant that seemed completely misdirected.

The CRTC now has to rebuild competition from scratch. Absent that, they will have to go back to regulating retail prices as was the case back in the 1980s. Nothing beats 15 years of policy failure.

My own company is in a hard place. Our first 3 big builds were failures due to permit shenanigans. Now I'm stuck out in the cold waiting for Hydro One to get its act together, which is increasingly looking like it's not going to happen. My only hope is that the CRTC actually takes action this time.
It's not damning evidence either.

Because the vernacular definition of 'vehicle' in this context does not include crutches, wheelchairs, kites, or slippers.

It might include a powered mobility scooter.
Aha, I love a man of principle. I would say that I would have had a sandwich in that case, as I believe that the structure of the food item should only be considered as it enters your mouth, completely removed from an explanation as to how that food item came to be up to that point.

However, I wonder you you would reconcile an uncut, folded pizza not being a sandwich against a meatball marinara, which to my understanding is a single piece of sliced bread with meat and sauce in the middle. Is this not a sandwich?
[Current thing] says X. You must follow [current thing]. Critical thinking not allowed.
What evidence would you accept?

I’ve seen a video that appears to support the idea that a helicopter was at least fired at.
The reason is that there is a lot of noise and as of now all articles posted are regurgitating the same bits of "he says" with no hard evidence.

Everyone has the same facts: there are some green men with guns and there are some green men with guns that just arrived. Some people are quick to call some of them Wagner. (Which by itself would also not mean much, thinking the entirety of Wagner group supports the coup is just as much of a leap with no evidence.)

There is indirect evidence pointing to takeover of Rostov to piece together, but it exists mostly in the shape of fragmentary telegram posts. There seems to be a lot of that evidence, enough that it seems plausible, but even people on the ground next to those green men have no idea.

The most striking bit of evidence I saw so far seems a screenshot (but of course without a link) of Russian TASS captioning a photo of some of those green men as "Wagner troops". Just because it's such a detail it would be hard to come up with it as a fake. But that is still assuming this is not an editorial mistake because the photo must have been taken just minutes prior.

(Edit, now there's a video that seems to show Prigozhin indeed in Rostov giving ultimatum to military: https://t.me/nexta_live/55212)
> nobody will make the effort afterwards to make good standards

That's not true. If 3000 people a year would have paid you $100 for access over the next 20 years, that's $300,000, which as a future income stream has some PV X. You'll be indifferent [1] between collecting the trickle of revenue from customers paying the paywall, and a one-time lump sum from the government of X [2].

[1] You'll be indifferent by definition. Because you'd say "Yes please" to a lump sum of $1 trillion, "No thanks" to a lump sum of $1, and PV is defined to be the crossover point where your answer changes.

[2] If you have a discount rate of 5%, then X ~= $300,000 / 1.05^10 or so, depending on how front-loaded the payments are and how much you care about payments more than 20 years in the future.

> quite unfair in fact

If the government pays you less than X, in theory it's unconstitutional, plain and simple. If the legal system doesn't accept your projected revenue, or discount rate, or you have to pay the lawyers and expert witnesses too much to legally establish the basis for those calculations...well then, the problem isn't the government taking your document to make it part of the law. The problem is the legal system is too inefficient or unreasonable, which has a different set of fixes (e.g. make laws about what calculations the government has to use in this situation, and make the government pay the plaintiff's attorney fees if the case is sufficiently clear-cut instance of "the government didn't follow its own official rules and this should never have gotten to court in the first place")
No, absurdity is citing sources that say "maybe it was, maybe it wasn't" then claiming they mean it "definitely was".

It isn't so clear to me. If it conveys a human in any way that humans don't naturally move unassisted then in my mind it qualifies as a conveyance and hence a vehicle, especially in the sense of the the French véhicule, from Latin vehiculum (“a carriage, conveyance”), from vehere (“to carry”)
