> The lack of realpolitik in this thread is astounding.

Realpolitik arguments have the other problem, where they rely on hope that whatever's good for the elites that call the shots will eventually trickle down to the rest of us.

There is certainly truth to it (A lot more truth than to trickle-down nonsense in domestic economics), but the track record for it is still... Mixed.

Also, if China collapsing over demographics is a real concern, what about democracy in the US collapsing? Is that not a real concern in this decade? Is it normal for democratic countries to have a loser who pulls every stop to try to prevent a peaceful transfer of power, or for an eleventh hour beer gut putsch to invade its capitol, causing its government to shelter in closets? Or for one of it's two ruling parties focus more on waging culture war on the other, than on governing? Or for the frankly insane effort going into winner-wins-more systems of gerrymandering, voter suppression at polling stations, etc..?
Would you like to give an actual example of a subreddit you're banned from because you were posting in some other subreddit? Or evidence that that's happening to the average reddit user?

I certainly believe it happens, but the times I've heard it come up was generally because of brigading and harassment from one subreddit towards another, which certainly sweeps up some folks who just happened to be posting on both, but feels reasonable enough, situation depending.
My public library got The Atlantic when I was a teenager and I thought it was a quality magazine but since 2010 it has pivoted towards clickbait, that headline is a great example.

The Atlantic for instance was writing hand-wringing articles about “cancel culture” aimed at liberals long before Jordan Peterson, Bari Weiss and people like that made articles like that for the right a big industry. Regardless of the facts and opinions, subjects like that have huge clickbait potential.
Funny, I've always hated scrolling down and accidentally seeing comments on news articles, which are almost uniformly garbage. I think it's a terrible way to present any kind of serious story, it makes for a worse experience.

If I want to discuss an article, there's Twitter, Reddit, etc. The NYT used to have a good public editor (Margaret Sullivan) you could complain to, but she's long gone.

I will say that The Verge has a good approach, where there's a comment section on every story but it's hidden behind a button at the bottom you have to actively click. That's a fine compromise.
Because little to no subs are unmoderated.
The CPU-specific intrinsic stabilized a little while ago for cases where you need SIMD on a specific platform at least. A lot of crates like glam seem to only support SIMD on x86/x86-64 for that reason.

I know that `wide`, `faster`, and `simdeez` are options for crates to do cross-platform SIMD in safe Rust. Eventually we'll have `std::simd`, but I don't know what the timeline is or what the blockers are.
APS Physics often promotes interesting papers which aren't clickbait.
At first glance I don't see reddit's mods role much different from Twitter community notes contributor or even a wikipedia editor. On the other end of the spectrum you have paid content mods at alphabet or meta.

Yeah, wikipedia is a non-profit and arguably provides a more universal value: so what?

Each model has pros and cons, for the org and for society. I'm not sure if one is always better than the other in any context.

But one thing is clear: the unpaid model invariably leads to an authority-centered model where power over other participants is the payment token. That's how it's been in wikipedia and reddit.

It seems in their new war, reddit want to wrestle that power back to them.
I believe if you're using epoch timestamps you already have leap seconds bugs. I don't think they increment/decrement when the leap second happens.
I give you this feedback with respect and to help you become a better writer, because I believe you are capable of substantially more:

This was not a high quality piece of writing. It doesn’t appear as if you spent any time at all learning about the topic, and you did not express yourself well, even when trying to articulate your ignorant points.

If English is not your first language, I totally understand and applaud the effort to learn a second language, but if English is your first language, this is the work product of a child.

You need to put more effort into two main areas to improve your writing: research and structure. I cannot overstate how poorly constructed this post is, and how thoroughly it undermines your effort to make an argument.

You can learn to improve! It’s a skill, like anything else, and your natural curiosity is what drove you this far, but you will need to work at writing if you want to get better at it.
Never underestimate petty political squabbles between the branches. I could see the Air Force retiring the A-10, not providing a viable replacement, and simultaneously working to prevent other branches from using them.
Overall I agree, but I will play devils advocate and say that an ad can also be useful for raising awareness that a product exists. Perhaps rather than outright condemning ads their display could be limited to only immediately after the product is first released (e.g. limited only for N days).
Are there project-based tutorial that talks more about neural net architecture, hyperparameters selection and debugging? Something that walks through getting poor results and make explicit the reasoning for tweaking?

When I try to use transformers or any AI thing on a toy problem I come up with, it never works. Even Fizz-Buzz which I thought was easy doesn't work (because division or modulo is apparently hard to represent for NNs). And there's this blackbox of training that's hard to debug into. Yes, for the available resources, if you pick the exact same problem, the exact same NN architecture and exact same hyperparameters, it all works out. But surely they didn't get that on the first try. So what's the tweaking process?

Somehow this point isn't often talked about in courses and consequently the ones who've passed this hurdle don't get their experience transferred. I'd follow an entire course on this if it were available. An HN commenter linked me to this

https://karpathy.github.io/2019/04/25/recipe/

which is exactly on point. But it'd be great if it were one or more tutorials with a specific example, wrapped in code and peppered with many failures.

Do you have a source on the f15 having better range? My understanding was that the f35 was actually slightly better under combat conditions, because the weapons are stored internally and don't introduce drag. And it's a bit of apples and oranges, probably better to compare the f35 to the f16, where the f35 offers much better range than the f16.

But yeah the f35 is a dramatically worse price, not just in upfront cost but also maintenance. I'm not sure how much of that is due to the stealth coating and overall airframe, and how much of that is from the improved sensors. Regardless, I think it makes sense to use the f35 and f15 together in a high/low mix. Specialize the f35 for SEAD and interdiction in a high threat environment, opening the doors for the f15 to act as a "bomb truck". f15 is also probably a more efficient delivery vehicle for stand off weapons, like JASSM.
I don't think its intentional. I think it's a side effect of using a listener pattern.

If you use a listener, useEffect in react, to load data, it will start the request, track it is loading with a boolean, and then store the payload. That passes unit tests and QA.

If the listener doesn't check the error before starting the api request again, you have this infinite loop happen where the loading flag goes off and the payload is still null, so it just starts it again.

It's sloppy code, but its an unintentional side effect.
Some of these things are illegal. Some are legal. When shutting down illegal things, it's a bad idea to target legal things.
Not necessarily. The onus would be upon Disney to prove that the new work is in violation. “Everybody knows Mickey Mouse is Disney” is not a legal argument as that’d supersede the entire concept of copyright.

Once the copyright expires, the original steamboat Mickey character and likeness can be used it all kinds of things. Violent video games, horror movies, a like of Mickey Mouse furry costumes, … you name it.

As long as you stick to the original design (sorry, no white gloves!) and do not in any way label your product as “Disney”, it wouldn’t be in violation.
So many words to not say anything. You could just say, “I don’t know” and you’d appear so much more intelligent and interesting.
But your health care system isn’t asinine, you have worker protections, paid maternity/paternity leave and a social safety net.

We don’t.
The subs that went private accomplished nothing and many were forced to reopen. Some mods were even deposed.

Reddit will eventually find new mods to replace the ones still protesting, and business will continue as usual. After all, there's no shortage of people who want to lord over others. Moderation isn't some highly skilled activity that requires special qualifications.

I wonder if the word "redneck" will ever be considered a slur.

If it's meant to mean a person of right leaning ideologies I guess that's fine, but most of the time it means a poor person of low education who happens to be from flyover country.

It wouldnt be appropriate to have a word for that same person if they were from the east or west coast regardless of race.
I'm curious to know what you would say are the necessary and sufficient conditions for any state of affairs to qualify as a social hierarchical relationship, if lopsided power dynamics do not.

This is a reason why totalitarian governments do not want people thinking for themselves or doing things that bring independence outside of that system

I think you're mistaking authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Authoritarian regimes (such as Russia or China) seek to create an environment of depoliticization and disengagement, allowing them to go about their domestic business without any opposition. Totalitarian regimes do the opposite: extreme political mobilization of the population toward a particular aim. The difference is readily apparent when these two regime types institute a draft: disengaged people flee, mobilized people sign up to fight.

For me, it's less about envisioning a new society but more about realizing the reality of what actually is...beneath the veneer that we call society is a regime enforced with violence & the imposition of a pyramid scheme on people whether or not they want to take part in it.

Who has the monopoly on organized violence is the primary question answered by any political philosophy. My main criticism of anarchism is that it doesn't offer a solution to this problem, it merely punts. Power naturally accrues to those most willing to use it, so a diffusion of power is a vacuum, and nature abhors a vacuum.

There's also a competing W3C standard named Webmention [1] based on WordPress' pingback/linkback protocols [2] which in turn were based on XML-RPC and exploited for DDoS attacks, like most things WordPress (it's one of the reasons your http access logs are chock full of 404s for xmlrpc.php). AFAICS, pingback remains the most used method though, or the only one that ever went mainstream before web commenting consolidated onto a couple news aggregators, HN and reddit among them.

The Web annotations protocol has been published as W3C spec in 2016 already (so not "now"), and, as a child of its time, uses god-awful JSON-LD, just like previous W3C specs chased XML whether it was a good fit or not when exchange of text data is one of the actual use cases for markup languages.

Is there an English word for always getting it wrong and blindly promoting formats? In German, there's the term Schlaglochsuchmaschine (pot hole search engine) as a metaphor borrowed from the automotive domain.

Yes there's absolutely a sweet spot. The ratio of pay to stress was best like 5 years into my career. I'd absolutely go back to that level of pay and responsibility if I could.

The problem is if that's your sweet spot, people perceive that and try to push you up. It's like making it look easy to do super well is unacceptable and you must be repositioned until you struggle more.
One could argue we do already via code generation when we define protobuf definitions or other idl’s. But yeah a chat oriented idl which then code generates c, Go, python, just based on the required problem domain is an interesting vision.
Right now in Sevilla, the relative humidity is 25%, making 101F feel like 102F.

The relative humidity in Houston is 60% right now, making 90F feel like 100F.

It’s easier to cool down by sweating and having that sweat evaporate with a lower relative humidity. Texas has more water in the air than Spain does, exacerbating the heat problem.

I’m 40 and I’m pretty happy that I’ve never been married. I look around among my married friends and don’t envy anyone’s life. Which doesn’t mean they’d be better off not being married. I have no idea. It’s just that the alternative doesn’t have to be a bad thing at all. On the contrary.

But I guess one has to be the type for it. If one’s idea of a good life is marriage, then not getting to that point is obviously a problem which will create emotional struggle and subsequent issues.
I really hope we see more ideas that actually can support themselves.
To be honest, in today's world of mobile Skinner boxes and predatory microtransactions, I see liking Nintendo IP as one of the best things that could happen to my kid.

They have a rather honest business model: they sell you a console, fun games (IMO most Zelda and Mario games are actually very good) and that's it. There are some microtransaction games as well (the mobile Mario Kart, which they actually seem to have made that way only reluctantly because hordes of uses complained that the mobile Mario platformer had a one-time fee for the whole game) but they're not the worst offenders in this respect and they're far from being a core part of the franchises, at least for now. (*)

I have myself been a fan of Marios and Zeldas since I was a kid and I don't see them as having had a negative influence on my life. Which cannot be said about much of the microtransaction-ridden spreadsheets that pass as games these days, especially on mobile. Or even more legitimate games like MMORPGS (WoW, etc.) which have more reasonable business models but still seem to be designed to cause insane levels of addiction.

(*) I cannot say the same of Disney. At least a few years ago, the only Star Wars game available on mobile was an insanely predatory gacha that extracted literally thousands of dollars from people to buy a single character that would be obsolete in a few months. I spent a few years addicted to it (not buying anything, but still wasting precious time in a repetitive and unfun grindfest), as at that point I didn't know how that kind of designer drug worked, I just downloaded it because it was Star Wars and got sucked in. It's been my first and last game of that genre, and I do hope that my kid keeps well away from those.

I'd recommend looking at Tasmota and/or ESPHome support list and getting one of those. Both are 100% open source and do not talk to any external servers. Some devices can be reflashed over-the-air and some need to be taken apart and flashed via a serial header. A few devices, such as from Athom, come preloaded with Tasmota. Tasmota has a list of IN-specific devices: https://templates.blakadder.com/in.html Here is an example of opening one up and connecting to the serial header: https://templates.blakadder.com/oakter_oak_plug_plus_16A.htm...
Well, there is a limit to what temperatures you can get used to and survive. Somewhere above 130f/50c your body cannot cool you down effectively anymore, and you literally need an AC to stay alive. It's not an issue of getting used to it, though old folks will obviously be more vulnerable. And don't take electricity for granted, heat stresses the grid and power plants need cooling. So there are some physical limits, including limits of the human body, it's not just an issue of getting used to it.

> I was referring to this statement you'd made: "I'd claim the mission is a failure right from user #1: https://i.imgur.com/57BhkkJ.png - the quality standard of ad-hominem soapboxing is already near rock bottom."

> You seem to be claiming that the quality is low, so I was wondering if you had any specific counter-arguments to anything stated in those two comments/articles you referenced in your image.

I try not to determine quality of an argument by how much I disagree with it. E.G: Many high-quality papers have thorough rebuttals, and many rants flaming the other side will happen to agree with my stance, or alternatively have no clear argument structure and nothing much concrete to refute.

What's in the screenshot falls towards the latter. Possibly I could take the repeated "idiots" as an attempt at a point, and so reference papers generally finding correlation in the opposite direction [0][1], which can in turn be refuted (hopefully with sources), but again I don't think this is the place for that argument - make a post on your site with opening statement or something.

> because you found the language not to your taste

If you're aiming for high quality discussion, I'd claim throwing around ad-hominems does run counter to that aim, and that debate (for which you'd need to attract people you disagree with to the site) is generally more productive when civil.

> Personally I'm more interested in the content of one's arguments rather than simply the presentation, but to each their own.

For the argument itself, ignoring discussion quality, you can in theory still present a strong argument in addition to insulting the other side, but not just have a string of insults in place of making a good argument. This is about it's content.

You could improve the argument, for example, by offering sources/statistics, having a clear argument structure, or making a sincere attempt to engage with material on the other side (plenty of accessible feminist literature exists).
Well, I guess that's also a risk - that a future law forces you to stop selling your software until you remove all AI-generated code.

A law like this seems pretty much impossible to enforce, though. Even if it turns out that GPT is just parroting remixes of GPL code, all examples of generated code I've seen are fully indistinguishable from code someone may have come up on their own - with the exception of contrived cases where someone is actively trying to get it to output a particular fragment of code verbatim.
Nature and Science obviously aren't targeting the general public, so sniping at them about retractions is a bit silly.

Quanta, I guess.
America is absolutely capable of setting tariffs on imports that would have made that unprofitable. In fact, that policy has been the norm at many times in countries precisely to protect domestic industry.

So it's really more accurate to say that America chose to allow it to be profitable for corporations to outsource. Government policy could easily have been the opposite. So ultimately, America did do it to itself.

(BTW I'm not arguing this would have necessarily been good policy. Just that it is very much an explicit governmental decision.)
You are correct sorry for the mixup (I guess "blood agent" would be more correct). Its primary use is of no consequence for this analogy, though. The company that manufactured Zyklon-B did provide it to concentration camps knowing it would be used to harm people and the executives responsible for this decision were sentenced by allied justices to death and prison terms as a consequence.

It becomes true the second one expresses something that someone else does not wish to be seen/disagree with, and they not only remove it, but they also ban the account (and do this anonymously). At that point one realizes the downside of centralized platforms and dictators-for-life.
It shouldn't require updating the tests, so long as you're testing the functionality rather than the implementation.
