I mean, I just disagree. I'm a mod on two large sub (bicycling and sanfrancisco) and a ton of the work is just done by automod and the users now days.

The main point of contention would be on subs where the user base is divided in it's moderation desires, e.g., san francisco crime posts. Half the users think the city is just fine and the crime posts make them angry, the other half think the city is falling apart, and therefore think the issues is entirely relevant. In this type of situation, the obvious solution is to split the sub like Seattle/SeattleWA did, but both sides want control over the sub.

These cultural control subs are the only ones that I think would "fall apart" without moderation, and even then I think the users would eventually self-select for separate subs.

This whole issue has been bizarre, and I definitely did not have the passion about it that some mods do. Still, I think I'm growing weary of moderating, but I think it's mainly that I'm getting old.
You want the reddit sidebar back...

I miss the reddit sidebar. But it got blocked because new technology does not allow it.

Seconded. It's a hands-on approach starting with implementing a pytorch-like api from the ground up with manual backprop up to implementing a simple transformer / gpt variant in actual pytorch.

NixOS is overriding the profile name by using your username so the name is not auto-generated anymore (NixOS hates that) so it knows the user profile will always be at ~/.mozilla/firefox/USERNAME. It automatically creates a ~ /.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini with a custom profile.
Nothing special indeed about a Macbook Air M1. I need to hear my machine working, but this thing does not even have a cooling fan. I can always put on noise-cancelling headphones if my machine sounds like it's about to lift off. Not to mention Apple Silicon is a joke, the Threadripper in my almost mobile workstation beats it any time. Meanwhile the battery cannot even last a standard Earth day, so why not just stick to power outlets?

All kidding aside, the (lack of) ports and the non-upgradability can be meaningfully criticized, but then again a lot of competitors are copying those anti-features. But to say there is nothing special about these machines... well, maybe not to you. Some people hate noisy laptop fans, and this total silence is a game changer.
Hi! Yeah I agree that it could’ve been better. Thank you for your feedback, I’m going to try to improve on my writing. And yes, I’m a teenager, so I’m not insulted by that. Thank you for the feedback, I’m going to work on getting better at writing. Thanks for reading and your feedback helps a lot!

In a similar vein, when raycasting was being added to second life I built a rudimentary approximation of a camera. It took some time to put together an image because of the limits of SL scripting and the rate limits on raycasting, but the first successful image had incredibly obvious vignetting. The solution was changing the size of my 'aperture' equivalent.

It's always very cool when simulation behavior starts to resemble real behavior.

Okay go stand up another Reddit then that anyone can create a subreddit on. It'll probably be better, right? Reddit isn't stopping anyone. People have migrated off sites before (digg). Go on then, angry Redditors! It's not a strike if you're too feckless to walk away.

Mastodon RSS feeds are also crap. None of the posts have any kind of a header, so it's not possible to see what the post is about without opening the post. Real blogs will actually have titles that describe their contents.
I've been really interested in Nim. Not doing anything serious with it yet but I've been following the project and reading about it and looking for a way to somehow use it in my personal or professional work.

This response from Andreas Rumpf, the designer and BDFL, instantly killed my interest. I cannot unsee and ignore what I just read. (https://imgur.com/a/aGLOkfl)

However technically interesting/beautiful this language looks, I do not wish to associate myself with a project who's BDFL's world view contradicts mine so much.

His response instantly set a toxic tone for himself and the work he represents.

It is very unfortunate but ultimately we're all humans and just as it is fine for Andreas to set the tone and govern his project the way he wants, it is fine for me to be picky about my friends and relationships and projects I like to associate myself with.

In this case, it is easy to follow my moral compass.

Buh.

I suppose it's a bit different from small scale personal imports or niche exotica being wrong side, to having a large manufacturer selling fairly large numbers of LHD cars new? It's certainly not normal for the UK for anything new to be LHD, there's even an RHD Chevrolet Corvette nowadays...
Coke Zero has that boring flavor for me. It’s not bad, but doesn’t stand out in flavor. Diet Coke has a different taste to it slightly more artificial but more like soda.
for sure, using a custom TLS library like uTLS helps -- need to inject that GREASE cipher selection. I have a suspicion that private residential proxies are out of budget for many outfits, or the IPs are too few and then simple rate limiting kicks in? Who do you use if you're willing to share? I've not been happy with the, uhh, questionable ethics of Luminati/BrightData in the past.

There are definitely more and more sites doing TLS/TCP/etc fingerprinting or device attestation for mobile APIs, but it's still pretty rare. I mean Twitter is trying to limit requests by IP, so definitely amateur hour over there.

alright that was mean. but I’m winning points, so I could make a very sound argument that even though contradicting the guidelines I was incentivized by design to be mean. In a way, I’m an innocent victim of unspoken policy
Its common to see UK plates all around western Europe. They all are RHD. Its a bit tricky for the first time but you get used to it quickly (or the opposite as I've found out ie in Australia, straight from airport rental into congested highway with tons of roadworks, I forgot that 11h jetlag due to all the adrenaline pumping).
Sounds banal, but step 0 is finding someone who wants the same kind of "till death pry us apart" relationship, because there are lots of modern people today who do not have such aspirations. Some believe that once that biological love phase is over, it is time to move on. Some believe that if they catch feelings for somebody else, that is justification enough to end it with you and go pursue these new feelings.

> There is a big difference between nature selecting a species for extinction and humans artificially destroying a habitat required for that life.

Is there though? Humans are part of nature. What’s the difference between human solar farms killing them all and a snake eating them all?

I don’t think we should just go around extincting things, but humans are part of nature’s cycle and not really that much more important than the 5 billion other reasons why other species went extinct.
The coup de grace was the loss of mandated "legal notices" postings, one of several highly-distributed and also lucrative forms of advertising (the other being general classified noticies) which had long supported print news.

Both parts of that description were significant: a distributed advertiser base gave little leverage to any one advertiser to bully or threaten the paper, and high revenues relative to costs meant that the aggregate revenues (even if individual notice prices were modest) were high.

This is also typical of many forms of publishing and distribution. For example, railroads and steamship lines were long subsidised by mail delivery. (The "RMS" in "RMS Titanic" comes from "Royal Mail Ship", noting the vessel's status as an official carrier of the British Royal Post.)

For US railroads, one critical revenue loss occurred after the introduction of Zone Instant Postal Codes, better known as ZIP Codes, in the 1960s, which eliminated the role of dedicated mail-sorting cars on passenger lines, in which mail was classified and sorted en route. With ZIP Codes, sorting occurred at bulk (and stationary) mail-handling facilities, with capabilities increasing tremendously in subsequent years.

Aircraft of course also started carrying First Class mail shortly after commercial flight premiered, in the 1910s. Email and fax have cut into that traffic, though courier, parcel delivery, and air cargo are stepping into the void.
As I understand it in information theory, "more entropy" equals "more information is necessary to fully describe this thing", but I may be wrong.
I don't think that's incompatible with feminism. I think feminism just opposes putting up gender barriers of any kind in the way of any activity despite of what anyone thinks about who's optimized for what.

I mean the discussion is about what constitutes a barrier, and how to prevent them, but the general sentiment that's still the core of the idea is unequivocally good.

Anything else?
Not denying the validity of that but if we agree that “teaching” as the ability to relay unintuitive concepts in a way relevant to the student, there’s not an section on standardized tests where that burgeoning skill would be detectable.

A teacher obviously has to have some baseline level of intellect/subject knowledge but so much of teaching is everything else (eg pertinent examples, optimally sequencing lessons, illustrating how things fit together etc).

Anecdotal but similarly in sports it seems like many of the best coaches were career role players and given their lesser talent, have a much better understanding of the myriad techniques that aided their development. Whereas someone like lebron (not saying he’d be a bad coach) is so inherently talented he probably has less of a grasp on communication because it comes so naturally. The passing reads he was making as a junior in high school were more advanced than most of the NBA today lol.

And learning is exponential so I don’t think it’s a teacher job to lead you all the way there just far along enough so anyone with enough aptitude can figure out the rest themselves. I could just be trying to further validate my belief but I almost think it’s dangerous to inherit the entirely of someone else’s knowledge since every view we develop is influenced to some extent by our own life experiences.

Humans arent the only species to do these things. A black walnut tree poisons the earth around it to stymie competition. Grazers prevent forest growth. When photosynthetic life first emerged, the resulting surplus of oxygen nearly wiped out all life on the planet.

In these contexts, what we do to the planet is relatively insignificant. So long as we aren’t jettisoning carbon and organic material into the sun and energy is added to the system from space, life on earth will always be around.

I have had two managers that stood out among many others due to one main quality (they had many other qualities): they were umbrellas, not funnels. They basically tended to the team like a gardener, handling each plant differently in a way that makes it most productive, shielded them from external pressures (though not to the point of mollycoddling), exposed the good work done via publicity and once all that was necessary was done, stepped back to let the plants be fruitful instead of blocking the growth by micromanaging.

It is a very rare quality and few can pull it off - if you find a boss like that, consider yourself lucky.
They don't all taste the same, though. For example, I find stevia disgusting but quite like saccharine.
More power to you!
Ah. That’s what they meant. Why tell us it’s written in go then?
> You basically outlined Thomas's reasoning and I still think it's flimsy as hell.

Thomas is an originalist – he believes that, in order to determine the meaning of a legal text, we need to be guided by the historical context of its original adoption and what people alive at that time understood it to mean. So, what you are calling "flimsy as hell" here – the logical/historical argument that, starting with originalism as an axiom, deduces that Loving is distinguishable from Roe and Obergefell? Or that originalist axiom in itself?

> Were the 14th amendment proposed today people would be arguing that equal protection implied marriage equality.

From an originalist viewpoint, it doesn't matter what people would have argued were the 14th Amendment proposed today - what matters is what people argued at the time of its proposal.

> Saying that the 14th amendment only gives you the rights people thought of at the time is like saying the 2nd amendment only guarantees you muskets or 1A doesn't apply to the internet.

The authors of the 1st and 2nd Amendments understood the concept of technology improving over time – it is something they had experienced for themselves, even if at a much slower pace than today. No doubt they expected new technologies would be invented in the coming decades and centuries, and intended those Amendments to include in their scope technologies yet to be invented. That's a very different situation from trying to ground Roe or Obergefell in the text of the 14th Amendment.

> But marriage equality is particularly egregious because it's the same case with the same arguments for and against

There is a very fundamental difference – Loving was about race, and ensuring a bare minimum of legal equality among people of different races was the primary purpose of the 14th; Obergefell was not about race, and hence falls outside that primary purpose. Even non-originalists (traditionally) agree that the Equal Protection clause is stronger for race than (most) non-racial classifications.

> It's not some gotcha, if you believe that right to privacy isn't implied then all these cases should fall

Neither Loving nor Obergefell were exclusively about the right to privacy. Both cases were justified on the basis of both substantive due process (to which the right of privacy is generally thought to belong) and equal protection. Even if you reject the notion of a constitutional right to privacy, that has no direct impact on the equal protection reasoning of either case.
There certainly is a cultural division, but maybe there is no fundamental distinction to be made. Both art and science help us make sense of the world. They both tell stories, about an apparently objective reality. They both excite and inspire, and enable us to transcend a limited point-of-view.

Are execs the most productive people at the company? They can be. They have a whole org attached to them so they can multiply their efforts through others. That’s one thing. Then there is the fact they I see execs consistently putting in way more hours to deliver on promises and responsibilities.

I realize this isn’t always the case but high performers in top positions do exist. It’s seeing the required levels of dedication that actually made me decide not to pursue a career like that. It would exhaust me. I’m fine playing second fiddle. Not third, maybe, but second is fine.

What presumably scales well with subreddit size is the amount of spam and abuse moderators have to deal with. So if, on a million+ sub, they manage to only "be a dick to 2-3 people a day", and the subreddit otherwise isn't rapidly bleeding users due to an onslaught of trolls and spammers - I'd say the mods are doing a goddamn great job. It's not like bad actors keep themselves away.
It is not black or white. The worst offenders were filtered out. Tobacco is indeed harmful and we are in the process of removing it as we noticed its harm (on a scale of decades and centuries). For stuff where the effect is (statistically) small, the filter is not perfect. But it is not a fallacy any more than evolution or natural selection are.
I believe it was also caused by the silo-ing of the internet and that a lot of the « public space » is now behind a login.
Absolutely. I love it in some salsas, where I think the acidity of the other ingredients blunts the “soapiness”. OTOH, cilantro rice tastes like “soapy rice” to me. Mostly I’m fine if I don’t think about it, but if I do I really notice the taste.
Would be useful to add TL;DR version for "busy" people, or "ELI5" variant.
In physics ToE ("Theory of Everything") is shorthand for a theoretical framework - mathematically formalized - which unifies all observable fundamental forces in nature (observable universe/s) without contradiction. Depending on your worldview like everything has a material basis, the fundamental "reality" is mathematical ... this would literally translate to mean a ToE.

But even the most materialistic/platonic "fanatics" out there acknowledge the basic limitation from a ultimate theory like this: the emergent properties arising from it could in turn be infinitely complex i.e. not wholly predictable, so what we are left with is describing and taming those to our satisfaction.

This all of course can be construed purely phenomenologically therefore minimizing any metaphysical claims like "underlying reality" and it would amount to the same conclusion. This is how I understand Penrose when he addresses this via Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

In this regard I personally like Feynman's pragmatism the most here by acting as a mediator between theoretical-minded and experimental-minded physiscts:
Are you looking for the ultimate laws of physics?" No, I'm not. I'm just looking to find out more about the world and if it turns out there is a simple ultimate law which explains everything, so be it; that would be very nice to discover. If it turns out it's like an onion with millions of layers and we're just sick and tired of looking at the layers, then that's the way it is. ... My interest in science is to simply find out more about the world.

So echoing Bohr's reply to Einstein: "Stop telling God what to do" One could reply to Bohm as well: If it is a process let it be a process, it doesn't have to be fixed as finite or infinite or whatever.

To be fair with Bohm he openly questioned many concepts taken for granted and for the moment tried to deconstruct them in a sincere manner (see: fish tank analogy). In a sense he tried to subject his worldview itself to this flow of procedural thinking. But being basically a lifelong outcast in the physics community I can not help but hear the hurt of rejection and the deep longing for connection to openly and passionately challenge and discuss ideas.[0]

Same here, it’s super weird. I hate the artificial sweeteners of all kinds in almost everything except when it comes to soda, and Diet Coke especially somehow masks that nastiness for me and I’m totally addicted to it, maybe it’s the other ingredients in there that is able to overcome the artificial sweeteners. I wish it was not the case as I hate myself for not being able to resist Diet Coke.

In Germany, I doubt they have the tooling or staff anymore. For almost a decade we've been in a race to the bottom regarding pricing and as a result, service quality. I wouldn't be surprised if critical parts of the infrastructure are maintained by outsourced jobs from half around the world.

The only somewhat professional player is the Deutsche Telekom, which was kinda the Bell of Germany and got privatized in the 90s, when the phone network was also opened to other players. They are more expensive though. Other than that, you might be lucky and have some small regional ISP that's competent enough. Otherwise there are just two other companies left that offer service nationwide, after a lot of mergers.
