There wasn’t really a legal basis for striking this down, because the plaintiffs did not actually suffer damage.

Same for the discrimination case where the plaintiffs had neither suffered damage, nor prior restraint, nor were actually engaged in the line of business in which they claimed to be.

The court is now accepting purely hypothetical cases when it’s convenient for them - this was someone who might start a web business and might suffer adverse action. The action that might be punished hasn’t even occurred yet, let alone any governmental response, nor is their even any bona fide movement towards the action that might be restrained, let alone any indication the government might restrain it.

It’s extremely damaging to our legal fabric to have this double-standard applied across the system. This is calvinball territory, the court is changing the rules of the game for different participants. Different people get an entirely different process based on which group you fall into, and the process difference is so drastic it effectively determines the outcome of the case.
Can you provide a source on the cast iron dust issue. I've heard that cast iron is actually recommended for anemic people who are low in iron. Are there other chemicals besides iron in the "dust"? How's would this dusty be formed unless you are purposely scraping there hell out of it with metal utensils? (And wood is generally recommended for cooking utensils anyway)

> But what would be the equivalent of "reproductive success" for computer programs?

Idea reuse. Whenever an idea is copied and reused, maybe tweaked and composed in a different way, it achieves reproduction. Useless ideas are not replicated.

For example the attention mechanism, the residual connections, embedding tables for tokens, dropout, efficient matrix operations - they are all ideas that got replicated and reused in many ways to make chatGPT and other current LLMs. Humans act like the reproductive organs of AI. But I expect this process to have the capability of being fully AI driven soon.

Also datasets - bulk collections of useful ideas. The curation and creation of massive datasets is the fuel for AI intelligence. And then all these ideas can replicate every time we interact with the AI. Ideas can self replicate through LLMs today, even autonomously. It's a game changer for the evolution of language.
What would be an example of where you prefer postgres over something else? What's your favorite part of the syntax?
I'm also a skeptic, but for a slightly different reason. There are currently two types of business use cases that seem to be the focal point of this generation of AI.

1) Tooling. This one I think will probably bear fruit. It will likely result in huge productivity gains (I mean, it already has for me). But i don't know if it will result in a paradigm shift.

2) Agents. This is where most of the hype is focused. The idea is that you can cut humans out of the loop. If doable, this would be revolutionary. But from what I've seen, the currently technology is not likely to do this. The reason is that agents that are required to perform a long series of independent actions without human intervention can fall victim to an accumulation of small errors that occur in each step. This kind of "snowball effect" will often result in complete garbage being produced.

As a result of point two, I think a lot of the new AI products are likely to fall flat. And as this happens, the hype/funding will dry up pretty quickly. All the same, I think this will have more positive economic outcome than all the crypto stuff did.
I learned about WR class stars from this post. They are apparently the brightest of stars and the James Webb Space Telescope has already captured some stunning images[0] of WR stars.

If you view the full-res[1] of the linked image, if you look carefully at the bottom-left of the purplish plume, you will see what looks like an entirely separate yellowish-green spiral galaxy. Mind blowing.

Yes, that complex setup (which will inevitably require future maintenance) is what I mean by non-seemless.
I love macros and feel like they would be a great addition for the JavaScript language and ecosystem. That being said I would much rather them to be standardised. Now with the past few years of TC39 it feels like introducing new big things worked only when one of the big vendors made them available de-facto and then they got real chance to progress in the review stages (take for example decorators that were boosted by TypeScript).
> Have you considered that Reddit users simply do not like being advertised to?

Does anyone like being advertised to?
I was ready to be excited from the title, but was utterly disappointed :(

IMO these aren’t macros in the Lisp-sense of the word (or Rust, or even C); yeah they run code at compile time, but that’s where the common ends.

Macros should be able to apply syntactic transformation on the code. Lisp is famous for allowing that by representing code as lists. Rust has a compiler-level API to give tokens and run arbitrary code, then spit new tokens out. C macros operate on the tokens level, so with enough magic you can transform code to the shape you want.

This… isn’t any of that.

A pretty good example (and something I’m still sad that it didn’t take off) of macros in JS is Sweet.js[0]. Babel macros[1] are a bit higher level, where macros require the input to already be a valid AST, but that’s also something I’d call macros.

This… I’d say it’s more of a compile time code execution feature, not a macro feature.

I dealt with episodes of this when I was using MDMA regularly and it's not a problem of like, intellectually dealing with being confronted with how the brain works, because I was fully aware of all this and had no problem conceptualizing what was going on with me abstractly, but derealization and depersonalization is a very strong _feeling_ that is very hard to shake and you can't like rationalize yourself out of it. I think it was easier for me to _handle_, because I knew what it was, but that still didn't make it go away. For me it faded after I gave my brain time to recover -- it took a few months.
A more apt comparison, would be telling a muslim vendor they can refuse to sell their halal items to christians.
It seems like that could be used to justify all sorts of questionable refusals?
I think at this point if you say "I question the scientific community so much that I can't really believe HIV causes AIDS" that sort of falls close to flat earth conspiracy theorists. The difference being the flat earth folks would be able to falsify their "theory" by just flying straight for n,000 miles, you'd be injecting yourself with pure HIV virus to establish that you didn't get AIDS.
Agreed, there’s a distinction between absentmindedly promoting commercial schemes and deliberately promoting causes that you think are worthwhile. I’m certainly not without agenda and several of the commercial ads I’ve covered are replaced by designs with socio-political purpose.

No, you can play PS4 (and PS3/2 via emulator or streaming) games just fine with the DS5.

There is one exception, you can't play a PSVR (1) game that requires the camera to track the light bar on the controller with a DS5, but that's very few games and for technical reasons (the DS5 does not have the light bar)

It's not unprecedented. In the history of the US, the Bible has been used to justify owning slaves and segregation.

It's a common strategy. Figure out the conclusion you want to draw first, and then look in the Bible for things that justify your viewpoint, glossing over things that don't support or contradict your point of view or shine a bad light on your subsequent behavior.
The idea that marriage is inextricable from procreation isn’t a pretextual assertion or “feeling.” Virtually every human society has marriage, and until recently every single one believed that the function of marriage was procreation. Most people outside the west still do.

The four largest religions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and a Buddhism) all address non-procreative sex and either discourage it or limit it to specific persons. E.g. https://academic.oup.com/book/522/chapter/135275904. It’s hard to think of anything that better qualifies as a sincerely held religious belief.
AI Engineers are just software engineers who use specific tools. If we want to use a fancy title then that's fine, I guess. But let's not pretend that a typical dev can't easily learn vector DBs, data pre-processing, fine tuning, etc.

It's an older version of "under" I guess. The weird thing is that the word "substance" has such a similar looking construction, because it literally means that which stands beneath.

It seems within the past month we've seen the WHO warn about non-sugar sweeteners general, aspartame in particular, and looks like sucralose in particular. I'm not generally one to support conspiracy theories, but given the number of countries placing limits on added sugar, sugar taxes and the like, what are the odds the sugar/hfcs industries are funding these studies.

Not to mention that with aspartame in particular, the evidence is sparse and low quality. The verbiage regarding Sucralose in actual human terms of consumption are much more alarming. I generally try to keep any sweet drink consumption with meals, or otherwise sweetened with stevia (which has seen it's own detractors). Given a century and a half of food industry lies, disinformation, misinformation and tethers with regulatory bodies, it's really hard to believe anything and just defer to if it was considered "food" a couple hundred years ago.

Yep, that was my epiphany as well - after trying Netflix and its then ad-free experience about 10 years ago, TV and other ad-infested 'entertainment' was ruined for me forever. I currently pay for YT Premium and unsubscribe from any channels that force in-video ads. While I didn't stay a Netflix streaming member (and will stop being a DVD member when they kill that service), I thank them for showing me how much better things could be.
I think, like all drugs, this is too broad a stroke. Instead I suggest you first look into your personal history with psychedelics, then do some research and ensure you dose properly (weigh yourself and use a triple point scale). Alternatively, DMT carts are much weaker and you rarely “blast off” with them. Yes, it is a very strong compound. But I have had some of the best experiences of my life on it. YMMV of course.

I think comparing AI to blockchain is not fair.

Sure, it was a hyped technology a few years back, but only in tech environments.

My mom has never heard of blockchain, I bet. AI is in the mainstream media all the time.

But ultimately it's a matter of scope. AI has the potential of, at the very least, transforming lots of jobs. Blockchain never had that potential.

The company I work for, a non-tech one, never ever mentioned blockchain. But they're trying to get AI everywhere.

Do absolutely not "encourage them to let go on their own". When discovered use tweezers or a tick-removal tool to remove it as soon as possible. Make sure to pull as close to the skin as possible.

All old folk-remedy things with butter and alcohol only risks the tick to go into shock and spew saliva into you, increasing the risk for lyme disease/tbe or borrelia.

Just pull it straight out, it's safe and easy, done it a dozen times.

Also get vaccine for lyme disease if you are in an area where ticks pass it on, it is a horribly crippling disease and not worth the risk however low.

That’s kinda my point though. At my gym, about half of the people I see in the pool are so inefficient that they barely can swim 25 yards without getting exhausted. But to them, they’re “swimming”.

I know you mentioned amateurs, but I’m really considering the average person who can “do the thing” (swim, golf, bowl, play tennis) vs someone who has even spent a little time trying to figure out the proper technique.

Hell, Tiger Woods dominated the tour and then spent time trying to work on his swing (before his life spiraled out of control).

Also, re-reading the original comments I was replying to, I wanted to clarify that I fell into the “flail around and try to get across the pool” category. I improved my technique considerably even though it’s not proper. I’m at the point where if I really want to improve, I need to unlearn my “good enough” skills and re-learn it properly. Unfortunately, it’s hard to do 1000+ yds nonstop the “right” way right now, so my warm ups are a lot of 50s and 100s where I go slow and focus. Then I can do maybe 50% of a longer interval “properly”

It seems like there's a distinction between things here, though. As far as I can tell, no precedent has been set here regarding an individual's right to receive non-speech-based goods or services.

For instance, if you go into a burger shack and the owner doesn't like some trait about you, they still have an obligation to sell you the same burgers they'd sell anyone else. If they have a special bun where they write out in sesame seeds "I endorse your decisions" for some people, though, then they'd be under no obligation to give you that specific bun.
Ticks dropping from trees is the childhood myth that will make me also always forever fear walking under low trees, but ticks neither jump nor go high up on trees, usually.

I think you're intentionally ignoring the fact that Facebook is not a "technology", it is a private company that uses a public technology, and makes a profit on every message it amplifies and every datum it aggregates over what would otherwise be unobstructed lines of communication. "Culture" is not Facebook, and holding a message-bearer responsible for the open messages they choose to broadcast and re-broadcast is not the same thing as censorship; and neither of those are tantamount to stifling technological progress.

Facebook didn't just pop into existence as some magical technology or culture, it simply is a corporation that rides on top of infrastructure that it doesn't have any control over. Its only purpose is to take what one person says and show it to other people it thinks want to hear that message. It's not novel in any way, but it is a publisher and as such, should be beholden to the same rules of truth - and responsible for the messages it rebroadcasts.

It is not censorship when a party sues another party for libel. It's not censorship when promoters of genocide are tried for aiding and abetting genocide. You don't understand what censorship is.
