See what’s there first. Might assuage your fears.

You’ll need your ‘Secret Key’ which you can find in the account settings in the app. The menu item is something like ‘set up another device’, I’m not on my Mac just now.

Good luck. Scary. I backed our vaults up a while ago and put them on an encrypted USB drive. Need to refresh them.

Hmm it’s probably worth the two minutes a month it’ll take to log in online and check that your latest items are there. I’ll set up a recurring reminder.
I think you jumped to a poorly argued conclusion with:

> What we should do instead is create race conscious policies

Of course, the goalposts you mentioned are good goals. But it’s far from clear that face conscious policies are appropriate or effective.

Appropriateness is, of course, a matter of opinion, but the Supreme Court has decided that the policies in question are unconstitutional. But effectiveness is an empirical matter. For example, in 1996, California banned most affirmative action in public universities. (To be clear, a lot of very well intentioned people at the universities supported affirmative action. Source: personal knowledge.). It took a few years for the situation to settle down, but the results of removing affirmative action seem to have been a pretty clear benefit to black students at the University of California campuses.

It turns out that, just because a policy is well intentioned, it does not follow that it is effective at achieving its good intentions. I could rattle off quite a few examples of policies that fail in this regard.

> I agree with you; however, the federal government is of course a government actor

Not one affected by the restriction on state action in the 14th Amendment.

> and cannot continue to give funding to these schools if they continue to use affirmative action.

Yes, it can (this is obvious, since the decision itself explicitly allows the federal government itself use race-based criteria in its own admissions at the schools it runs, notably, the military academies) and it can change the terms of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so that the interpretation of the 14th Amendment limits on state action that the Supreme Court imported to it due to textual similarity are not imposed on recipients of federal funding.
I have wondered this myself and I think the answer is that American universities want to discriminate based on wealth. They actually want the richest kids possible going to their schools. Their business model depends on it.
You see, -burp- Morty, grandpa is wayyy too smart. I am the smartest man in the universe, Morty, and that sucks, because of the loneliness of nobody ever being able to understand my thoughts. Do you know how -burp- lucky you are, Mor-Morty, that you're as dumb as a rock? Do you how luck you are to be surrounded by people who have the same IQ as you, Morty? Yeah, you're lucky, because to you that is an advantage. You can lead some stupid conversation with some stupid girls and enjoy yourself. Grandpa cannot have that, Morty. That-that is -burp- not a luxury the smartest man in the universe can have. So I drink, to make myself stupid, so I can endure this psychological torture called a conversation with _you_.
If black-coded names are more strongly associated with being lower class in spite of data demonstrating that they actually have the same class distributions as white-coded names then that is racism.
There have been a lot of ridiculous things in cryptocurrency land, but what's wrong with Basic Attention Token? It has been around for six years and seems to solve the problem of paying content creators via microtransactions. The only wrinkle is that finance laws force everyone to verify their identity with a government-issued ID before transacting BAT.[1] This is a problem for all microtransactions, not just cryptocurrency.

3) e.g. See how Texas uses "Top 7% Rule" as a color-blind method of increasing diversity through meritocracy. When I was applying, it was a "Top 10% Rule."
> In the words of Chief Justice John Roberts, the US fought a civil war to end racial discrimination

The US Civil War wasn't even fought to end slavery. That's a jingoistic talking point that "patriots" like to tell themselves that has absolutely no basis in reality. But "discrimination?" That's pure, unadulterated idiocy.

The war was fought to put down a rebellion by Southern states who refused to modernize because they used slavery to maintain their representational numbers in Congress. The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't even enacted until year three of the US Civil War, but the Southern states saw the writing on the wall and decided to act while they believed they still had time to do so.

The rebellion was the important thing to the North.
Popular support for nuclear energy is higher than you’d think after the Fukushima accident, people are aware there is a climate crisis going on.

The light water reactor has two problems: (1) Russia is the only country that is really building them on a N-th of a kind basis, everybody else is building them so sporadically each is practically first of a kind. France was approaching where Russia is 30 years ago but they gave up, Korea wishes they were where Russia is but they are not, China wants to be where Russia is in ten years and maybe they will be. (This is the possibility of Russia endangering Zaphorisia NPP would be such an own goal.)

(2) is that the economics are not great even if people could build NPPs without screwing up and it is not just the nuclear island but the heat exchangers, steam turbine and balance of systems. There is the hope that the parts of an LWR can be put together in some way at some scale that deletes some expensive systems, there is the most enthusiasm now for GE’s BWRX300, but you have to not only do that but push through the growing pains to get N-of-a-kind economics.

Now it is not impossible that some other reactor type that runs at higher temperatures could lower the cost of heat handling but that’s not an easy route either since all kinds of practical problems involving materials and such need to be solved. On the other hand, the impact for the future of humanity could be priceless. It’s quite the problem that the U.S. gave up on the fast flux test facility and that we’ve lost 30+ years of progress we could have made on next generation reactors, there is serious talk of building all kinds of test reactor today that we should have been having 20 years ago.
I would disagree with your larger point. While I didn’t go to GATech (although I did get in), I did go to MIT and a UC as well as a state school and community college. I’ve also worked for a couple of FAANGS, startups, etc. So I’ve seen a diversity of environments and the people in them. MIT by far had the highest concentration of top talent of anywhere I’ve been. It also had _culturally_ the most ambition which pushed people into excellence, even if they didn’t know they were capable of it. I was in an honors society at my UC, and there were very bright people who went onto top graduate schools, but overall the percentage of them was lower in the school (which was already hard to get into), and the ambition level was much less despite (for this group) raw talent being similar.

Of course there are more people who deserve to be there than there is room. But keeping it small allows it to achieve something special that being bigger wouldn’t allow. Those that do make it in are by and large absolutely top talent.

So it’s not just education and network that matters. I’d argue culture is one of the most important under-appreciated aspects. And MIT culture is top notch.
I get the sentiment that less tinkering causes less things to break, and there's some truth to that, but how do you avoid the "simple" tools you use from breaking?

Underneath the apparent simplicity of a Chromebook or an Apple device is a mountain of complexity that can, and does, malfunction. Every time you update their software—which you're pretty much forced to—you run the risk of something not working as expected, or flat out not working. If you've never experienced this then your bar for failure is very low, or you've either not noticed it, or been impacted by it.

This is mostly what TFA and the study are talking about. I'm sure that their subjects didn't include technical people who enjoy tinkering, but common users who use their computers as a tool. It's remarkable how often their work is interrupted by something not working properly. I'm actually surprised it's as low as 20%.
Aspartame is not a sugar alcohol like the other artificial sweeteners that do cause diarrhea due to incomplete digestion.
Google would be perfectly free to hire a human being to write headlines in their own words and then link to articles in the press discussing that story.

"Man Bites Dog" More discussion: CBC, National Post, Toronto Star, CTV, etc.

However, Google doesn't want to pay human beings, they want to "borrow' other people's content to make a profit.

People seem to conflate "indexing your story on our search engine" with "borrowing your headline and photo for our own news site".
I think you're conflating 'creation' as in coming up with something new, with 'production' as in making stuff/providing services...
The definition of "customers" has shifted in the ad-supported tech world. There's nothing inherently wrong with that model when it's unobtrusive and useful ads; It's when they get overly aggressive with the advertising that it drives people to block, IMO.

Also there's a pattern in the industry of introducing ads (or "promotions" to get around legalese) to "ad-free" subscriptions once they have sufficient lock-in.
OpenAI didn't have access to every poster's email when they crawled reddit. If you're making posts or have an account name that are easily tied back to your personal identity, that's on you. But you could make an account with any random username you wanted, that keeps you anonymous as far as OpenAI is concerned.
Why? Why does it matter to you?

So you are saying that for some mysterious reason, machines cannot become as smart as humans. Mysterious.
Software development has never been about building correct systems that you see so many here care about. There might be a few contexts where that is the main value being optimized for, but the vast majority of other it is not. I think a lot of smart people are in the wrong industry and it causes them pain. I see so many overworked and stressed out people and it is almost always internal reality causing it.

It was a bit different. With the Challenger they started with a target (astronomical) reliability rating, and then calculated back to how each part would have to perform. The problem was they didn't actually verify this under real world conditions.

With this sub the number of safe operation cycles wasn't even part of the design considerations.

> On one hand, yes, it drives traffic. On the other hand, no, because lots of people just read headlines and maybe they can do that without clicking.

Then the solution is to modify your `robots.txt` file to prohibit these snippets.

Of course, no-one actually does this because they're well aware that the headlines are what drives attention and clicks.

In these kinds of sessions are you using a ChatGPT-X tool or something like GitHub Co-Pilot. I haven't started using these tools, but it does sound like there might be a significant benefit in some use cases.

I guess I am a little biased against the AI tools also as I've made a successful 34 year career in software development without using those tools, but I'm also aware that overnight, the world can change.
That's true, which is why the photography analogy holds.

It makes sense you can't clone exact types of art, but mixing and mashing two or more to make something totally new and derivative is fine.
Alcohol and other drugs feel good and allow you to have a good time by allowing you to escape negative emotional experiences and just enjoy the moment: fear, social anxiety, trauma. Without those negative feelings, you would already feel good, and the alcohol would lose it's appeal.
This meant with NO JUDGMENT WHATSOEVER, but I'm curious:

Have you ever tried being drunk? I wouldn't recommend it if you're fine the way you are, but OTOH, I think people don't actually understand unless they've tried it.

I'm pretty sure that the ethics of interacting with the likes of Youtube or Google are a fair bit more complex than you're giving it credit for, but I'm also pretty sure that this isn't the platform for that debate. Suffice it to say that as others have pointed out the definition of "customer" in the world of data brokers and advertising has become a lot less meaningful.
Are you proposing that the entire concept of a non-human-curated search engine should be illegal? Seems kind of silly.
I relate to this, though perhaps obliquely.

I feel far more peaceful and centered when I am hungover. I don't have a thousand things flying around the edges of my brain, nipping at my consciousness. I just _am_.

Drinking can do that for me too, but it shuts off so much of my brain that eventually, it's like being what I imagine a dog is. Completely reactive, with almost no higher thinking. Not that that is bad. I enjoy it.

If not for how bad it makes me feel physically, I'd probably spend most of my waking hours either drunk or hungover. What that says about me, I hesitate to think about, hah.

I also found that in my limited experience with meditation, I could sometimes find that place of tranquility and "simply being". But it was so rare, and the experience of meditation so frustrating and seemingly impossible to progress in, that I gave up. But I still hold that what I am after in meditating is the same thing that I am after in a night of drinking. Single-threadedness, peace, acceptance.
What are folks using to isolate themselves from these sorts of issues? Adding a cache for any read operations seems wise (and it also improves perf). Anyone successfully avoid impact and want to share?

You missed the part where it’s not a zero-sum game. If you’re interested in the economic concepts behind why an economy is a positive-sum game in an open system, look up: production possibilities frontier (PPF) and comparative advantage.

An economy would become zero-sum if we ran up against the limits of the universe. Until then, rest assured that opportunity can grow for both sides in a transaction.

> Glancing through his work, he suggests that identity politics is anti-collective because it's focused on the individual and not the group.

Which could explain why it's coming across as confusing: identity politics ignores individuality and defines people in terms of their groups. It's pro-collective, not anti.
It's a tooling problem. Nearly every comment I read about formal verification being overkill are about proposal to incorporate existing formal verification tools into existing workflows. It is not easy to get an organization to adopt TLA+ in a way that's useful for almost any problem.

Add a language feature like the above to TS and you'd see adoption overnight. Pretty much everyone is happy to let their build system add additional correctness guarantees if its fast enough.
It is goes further back, and is way more international.

In Western Europe, somewhere around the early 90s most social democratic parties abandoned their blue collar base. They used to fight for them. For reasonable hours, minimum wage, social benefits.

I guess they were not cool or interesting anymore, as they shifted focus almost exclusively to minorities as well as various forms of elitist salon socialism.

On top of being abandoned politically, blue collar got destroyed economically by manufacturing moving overseas. And if that wasn't enough still, they were next culturally destroyed and labeled bigots or privileged, on the basis of their skin or what is between their legs.

This class, which is very large and makes sure shit works in society, is why you have Trump but also various other right-wing rises in Europe.
That's not what the law says at all. You've just made it up. The actual definition for what's in scope is:

> (a) the news content, or any portion of it, is reproduced; or

> (b) access to the news content, or any portion of it, is facilitated by any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content.

See point b. Simply facilitating access, for example by linking or having the article in a search index, would be enough.

I am not a lawyer but my understanding is it just means that as long as they do, they are evaluated as a public institution for the purposes of interpreting compliance with the Fourteen Amendment.

Interesting thought experiment, however.

Quite the contrary: the news stands would have the front page displayed quite prominently precisely so that you could read the headlines of the main stories to attract the interest of passerbys: https://p.turbosquid.com/ts-thumb/0m/ePJxnz/tlmgVado/news_st...

If outlets don't want the headlines scraped and displayed, then they're free to modify their `robots.txt` file accordingly. But they don't because they're well aware that this would reduce, not improve, their bottom line.

But you still have a valid point. Any rubric large and complex enough is gonna lead to room for subjectivity in what is and isn't looked at as thoroughly.

I don't know. People take all kinds of stupid risks all the time. Life is dangerous, you are guaranteed to die.

Some people might just figure that a once in a lifetime experience is worth it even knowing it's dangerous.

I'm not sure a full risk analysis is really needed here. As long as the participants knew there was a real risk they'd die, perhaps it was worth it to them.
In addition to the other answers already posted, the neutrino may hit multiple water molecules along its path, or its decay products may hit other molecules themselves, so you get many flashes if you're lucky.

But another category of detector [1] adds additional signal by applying a strong, constant electric field vertically across the entire detection chamber (heavy noble gas, not ice, in this case). Then whatever charged particles are produced drift up to the top of the tank, are annihilated there, and you get a flash that gives you extra good localization in the z direction since you know how long it took them to get there.
