>since all schooling in the US are based on geographic districts funded by local property tax

Not true at all. There are many places like California where School funds are distributed Statewide. The results are relatively predictable. California passed the Serrano decisions in the early '70s mandating local taxes be spent Statewide on schools. This was followed immediately by a prop 13 where residents decided that if their money doesn't go to Local Schools they won't pay. As a result California dropped from top five in the nation in school funding to the bottom five.

I could literally not care less about google's policy, as enforced by google. It is of zero relevance nor significance to anything at all.

Google have deliberately made ads much harder to distinguish from results. They have done so for money and it has been successful. No policy of theirs changes this, excuses this nor makes it go away nor makes it less relevant. I care as much about google's "policy" on google's clear misbehaviour as I do about mafia citing their "code" in a criminal trial. You should try assuming people lie for money when there are no consequences until shown to be otherwise.

Try all the standard, accepted and common google ad techniques on yellow pages ads and see how far you get. I'm betting on that being nowhere and usually because it is illegal.

Whilst I agree with your point that slavery inhibits economic development, your points on the slave trade within Africa come off as revisionist. The transatlantic slave trade took off after the New Laws were passed and African slaves were adjusted to the climates plantations were in. I have never seen anything to suggest Africa was the only place with a local slave trade at the time, and it is definitely not the only place with active slave markets.

Just last week, a woman was arrested in Germany for practicing slavery whilst living back in Syria. It shouldn’t be hard to find news about people being sold on WhatsApp in the Middle East. BBC did a special on it. This isn’t even going into the obvious slavery, and the market for it, that persists even further East.

The only reason a larger amount of resources can be allocated is because you are advocating for using state violence to force people who don’t agree with you to also pay for your ideas. That’s what taxes are, fundamentally.

An LLM's working memory is just its context window, but the LLM also has embedded data in its parameters, which are set during training to minimize loss. This is effectively a memory of the training data, just as much as a digital photo of my face is a memory of the photons reflecting from my face.

There are some pretty heavy expectations considering most of us grew up in a world where every distro was freely available everywhere, including the original Red Hat before they went the RHEL route.

Slightly off-topic, but related to Qt's LGPL license: how are random users actually supposed to obtain the source code to an LGPL library that is included with an app distributed in binary form?

For example, in Safari>Help>Acknowledgments there's lots of licensing information, including a lengthy LGPL section of fine print, but they really don't make it obvious how to get the LGPL source code. (It does seem to be on github, but there is no mention of that in the text.)

And I really have no idea how to download the GPL/LGPL source code from a random iOS app.

Shouldn't there be a download button or something for each GPL or LGPL component? (Maybe from the internet archive or gnu.org or something that is expected to persist longer than the average github/gitlab/bitbucket/sourceforge/etc. repo?)
Might be this paper from Mar 2022, which got me to reduce my aspartame & acesulfame-K consumption when it came out last year: Artificial sweeteners and cancer risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...

n=102,865 adults were followed for a median 7.8 years, using 24-hour dietary records collected via web including some photographic validation. Key results:

> In particular, higher cancer risks were observed for aspartame (HR = *1.15* [95% CI 1.03 to 1.28], P = 0.002) and acesulfame-K (HR = *1.13* [95% CI 1.01 to 1.26], P = 0.007).

+13~15% raised cancer risk in high consumers of aspartame and acesulfame-K (controlling for many factors, including sugar intake, BMI and weight gain, physical activity, etc.).

> In particular, no difference was detected between the categories ‘higher artificial sweetener consumption and sugar intake below the official recommended limit’ and ‘no artificial sweetener consumption and sugar intake exceeding the recommended limit’

So the raised cancer risk was statistically the same for both categories (though possibly slightly worse for artificial sweeteners). No real win for sugar there (but we also have to look at their performances in the area of CVD and diabetes).

(I will say that the 100g/day cutoff for high vs low sugar consumption is kind of high, even if it includes sugars in fruit and other whole foods. The key question imo is: how would low sugar + low sweetener consumption fare against the equivalent amount of sugar?)

Overall, definitely an interesting study, considering that they adjusted for a lot of factors including BMI/weight gain, and that it's the more health-conscious types who would consume artificial sweeteners. Even the lower-consumption category was associated with a statistically significant +14% raised cancer risk vs non-consumers (for the same level of sugar intake).

One point to note was that sucralose intake didn't seem associated with raised cancer risk, the caveat being that the sucralose sample size was about half those of aspartame and acesulfame-K. This could possibly reflect sucralose being a sweetener used by the most health-conscious participants, since it's less commonly used in mass-market products. Still, would be interesting if sucralose might not contribute to cancer risk. Overall, this paper is a non-loss for sucralose on the cancer front.
Indeed. I was wondering if perhaps there are other choices out there.
I'm sure you have the relevant qualifications in associated fields of study to make the claim that Daniel Swain, Ph.D, is somehow not a credible source of information on this subject?
15s vs 1s is only a factor of 15x, not 1000x.

The load time of the oft-considered-bloated reddit.com for me is ~5s. Let's use that as a benchmark. If you told me you got reddit.com to load 1000x faster (5ms), then yes that is extraordinary.

You're also missing the point of my 'apples-to-apples' caveat. A modern webpage might load slowly, but it also does a lot more than a static html one-pager. Sure you might not consider that to be useful, but those features (tracking, A/B testing, ads, redundancy, CDN, etc.) are useful to someone.

I recently read "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner which I highly recommend if you're interested in the history of water issues in the west and California in particular.

A great portion of the book is devoted to dams. The gist of it is that many dams of questionable utility were constructed throughout the 20th century due to pork barrel politics and the unstoppable bureaucratic engines of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corp of Engineers. Like much infrastructure built in the US, not much concern was given to ongoing maintenance and so the book predicts that this will be a larger concern as time goes on.

Hopefully close calls like Oroville will bring more attention to this issue before a larger disaster happens.

> This is NOT how a compiler usually lays out a structure in memory.

Just explain how it works instead of assuming that the reader is making an (incorrect) assumption. I think you're caught making that assumption because you've introduced the topics in a non-optimal order.

I would split up "Element Order and Addressing" and remove the picture there because it's misleading. You can talk about addressing without explaining how the struct is laid out in memory. You don't even need structs to explain addressing ("& takes the address of an object"). Then, once you've introduced basic addressing and struct alignment/padding, you could introduce addressing of struct fields. But I suspect it won't have much value at that point because the logistics will be a natural consequence of the earlier topics.
So there'd be no issue in google getting ads well away and separate from search results in an obvious way like they use to. Wouldn't hurt their revenue in that case. Top result is actually the result you were looking for. Ads to the right, shaded background. No problem at all, right? They'd all still pay just as much for their own brand names in keyword advertising. And there would be the exact same number of clicks of it.

I don't believe that and i'm not sure how anyone does tbh.
I love this idea. I regularly send lengthly emails to old friends and would love to have a better structure for handling this in a small community.

They should definitely pay you to add this. They can do it by just hiring you remote for a little while even if you are still a student and you add this wiring code. You speeded up their code so many orders of magnitude without even having access to it. Most people would have a hard time doing it even if they can see the source code.

Also I have a question, what do you think about RISC-V? I never cared about embedded code until recently when I saw that you can buy an ESP32 chip for like five dollars and it's as powerful as a computer from the 90s and it has bluetooth and wifi, I was like wtf. I saw the most recent version ESP32-S3 uses RISC-V, and the new Arduino R4 uses ESP32-S3. Also related to RISC-V I saw this Jim Keller youtube video where he is all-in on RISC-V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MrGNlXRi9M
I don't think that's it though – in recurrent neural networks, there is still a distinction between internal state (dynamic) and weights (static).

Whereas, in biological brains, the weights are updated continuously.

I don't think he's dumb, but I also think a lot of people underestimate what they are capable of. Its a neat project, but it is one of those lots-of-grinding projects. Any tech professional should be able to pull this off, reasons abound why they won't (not motivated/mentally exhausted from work BS/have lives and no longer have infinite free time).

So I think "intelligent, and hard working", not "oh man could I never do something like that". Most of us spend time doing other, less geeky things, like reading, media consumption (spending time on HN).

That's not how things work, at all. Most of the things you consider conspiracy theories are done completely in the open and there's nothing conspiratorial nor theoretical about it. These huge companies have hundreds of lawyers and lobbyists, sometimes they work together to push or prevent legislation. They are doing their job, nothing illegal about it, companies are also allowed to do it.

Just to give you a recent/techy example, I'm sure Meta and Google lawyers and lobbyists worked together to deal with the ridiculous Canada news law. Same with Epic and others pushing alternative payments in the App Store.

Chemically, it doesn't make sense that there would be any harm in the first place. With properly functioning kidneys, the resultant chemicals get filtered out extremely quickly through the urine. It helps that most diet colas are also diuretic. The resulting methanol and/or formaldehyde don't stick around to cause harm. This is empirically backed up by the lack of adverse effects over massive populations and over decades.
Sorry, I had thought I'd established context better than I had. My broader point was about what what I would prefer the law to be rather than the way it is.

Yeah I'll raise my hand here to say I did a file manager that automates file management tasks by using AI to write Bash scripts (Aerome.net). It's still super primitive though, if I'm being honest. I think the problem is that it's way harder to write a cross platform file manager, or browser wrapper in your case, then it is to write a chat interface on top of ChatGPT. I suspect in a year or two many good use cases will emerge, as people write more complicated software to take advantage of LLM's capabilities.
