I appreciate what you're saying here, and that your comment is more tactful than others, but I also see why the the op would be frustrated with the responses.

The responses to far, to my subjective reading, imply that the OP did something stupid and that's why they were in that situation. Again, it's just a personal interpretation, but I don't think it's a far-fetched one, and I don't think we have the context to make that assumption.

I agree that it can be useful to highlight the possible pitfalls to readers, but it's my opinion that it could be done in a more empathetic and tactful way that highlights our collective lack of context while still providing general advice to readers. I also think it would tend to lead to a more nuanced and useful conversation for the same readers.

I think you are the one confused. "HRT is for people with gender dysphoria". Nope. Its for all different types of people with all different types of conditions. Lacking testosterone being one of them. TRT is a form of HRT treatment. Im not sure why you stood to correct me and bring up gender dysphoria when it is not even the most common form of HRT.

"whereas TRT is for normal, well-adjusted, no-dysphoric men to maintain healthy testosterone levels". Not sure why you are so persistent on alluding to gender. These discussions have nothing to do with gender dsyphoria.

What he's talking about is a situation where the consumer can choose who to buy their electricity from.

In most of the US electricity is a lot like cable TV: the company that owns the cable is the company that you buy your cable TV from.

In around 15 states there are districts where it works like the wired phone system worked after local loop unbundling: you paid the company that owned the wire for access to the wire, and independently paid a phone company for telephone service over the wire and/or an ISP for DSL service over the wire.
For me, it was always more important to discover authors than to discover books.

When I find a author whose thoughts and theories I am interested in, I usually read everything from this author. Usually their most popular book is the best one.

How is this for everybody else here? Any examples of books you discovered on GoodReads where the book itself was the important discovery and not the author?
From my own company, I can definitively say that even if Alma/Rocky don't figure out a way to continue providing quick updates, we certainly won't start paying for RHEL. Discussion is ongoing right now between Debian, SuSE, and Ubuntu Server.

[2] is actually a phenomenally easy read for a physics paper, but it does assume an undergraduate physics degree's level of background.

First, it's important to know that a quantum state (written as |letter>) is not directly observable. We can think of it as some vector, for which we can only apply an operation to to get out a scalar observable.

A quantum circuit is a series of operations on a quantum state to create a different quantum state, which can be modeled as a matrix U, which is unitary (meaning U*U=1).

The goal of "sampling a random quantum circuit" is trying to find the probability of observing some given observable if you keep applying random quantum circuits to a given input state.
The way I see it is its now or never for AMD. with the amount of money pouring into AI & gpgpu compute if AMD cant even get it right now then they will never be able to do it as nvidia pulls away further and further away. its a shame because their gpus were actually better for this type of compute beginning with bitcoin mining but for some reason they never foresaw this even though nvidia has been investing steadily in CUDA for about a decade.

No, the simulation harness and tests are open source and you can run them. It would be impossible for anyone to contribute anyway without it, for example, Snowflake, which heavily depends on it. It's built into the server binary directly, so the same code is always used, and it's simply a different operational mode when compared to the real server. I used to have a project to do lots of simulation runs on my big 32 core server and then aggregate the logs into clickhouse for analysis. It wasn't that hard.

However, they (at least at the time most of the developers were at Apple, many have now moved to Snowflake and the Apple team has grown a little I think) haven't released or integrated their nightly cluster and performance testing systems into open, nor have they integrated them with GitHub Actions or Nightly runs or anything. My understanding is that this is "just" a lot of compute cluster/platform orchestration code on top of the tests that exist in the repository. So, while Apple or Snowflake integrates changes across hundreds of concurrent fuzzing simulations on whatever platforms they have, if you write patches yourself, you're stuck with long simulation runs. Maybe that's changed; I haven't kept up since the 7.0 series.

In practice if you write patches and they accept them, they will just do the testing in their runs for you, on a cluster far larger than what you could have. Failures reports will tell you how to reproduce them from the test files. As a contributor, testing the system on your own is mostly a matter of how much money or how many CPU cores you can personally stand to set on fire.

Someone could probably integrate this functionality into a Kubernetes operator or something so that outside engineers could run large scale simulations reliably. But it is really expensive and CPU/compute intense, no matter how you go about it.

This is something I've worked on so I can comment a bit. The most popular use case I've seen so far is AR manuals, with the sell that you can have technicians up to speed on a piece of equipment without needing human coaching or training. I was shown a demo in the context of robotics recently where you look at a robot and explanations of signals in the wiring harness were shown, hydraulic connections, wear parts, etc. It was visually pretty impressive but quite telling that the two most interested people were my manager and the CEO. The engineers just kinda sat looking at each other with a non verbal "Must have been a fun project to build huh? I'll stick to PDFs".

But by and far the majority of trains are still human operated. Even though the traffic rules are very straight forward ("get out of my way, or...") and the guidance systems, robotics, CC surveillance, scheduling and logistics are 99% there in (for example) major parts of continental Europe.

So why are train services in Germany, Netherlands, France frequently canceled for lack of train drivers? I honoustly don't know the answer but I wager that return on investment plays a significant role. And I think the self-driving car rationale isn't all that different, except for the easy venture billions of the last decade(s).

> partially about reviews from people who haven't read the book, but object to the subject matter or something else about the book

Which is a fake review in my view. Or, at least, an irrelevant review. A review is supposed to be about the particulars of that book, not about whether or not the reader thinks the subject matter is objectionable. Presumably, people who dislike the subject matter won't be reading the book anyway, so such a review is worthless.

If you haven't read the book, you cannot possibly write a legitimate review of it.

100% it's cultural. In the Netherlands, companies brag about a 7 or 8 out of ten as proof of their amazing customer service. When I lived in America, it seemed the consensus of anything under a 9 is killing puppies.

The implication of OP's statement is that they don't believe that AGI is on the horizon, and I'm inclined to agree.

I have curated my experience. Including tiny subs dedicated to niches. I still don't see it as a healthy good place to spend my time.

Everyone always loves to believe their sub won't change.

Why are we bothering wasting resources on reddit, when what we actually want is a maintained wiki page?

>Google would disagree

Only because Google has ignored their search engine problem for years before Reddit existed, and sees absolutely no problem in promoting the most random of sites as long as the content technically exists on the page. At this point, I'm not sure they want to solve the problem, due to the revenue gained by encouraging prioritized ad placements.

Don't even get me started on the absurd levels of misinformation. Not even related to politics, it's everything. The posturing as experts when they're 15 year olds. The encouraging of buying this over that, without letting others know they work for that company. So much of the "useful information" on reddit is misjudged that way because of the pseudo-anonymous structure that encourages people to turn off their brain and believe everything they read. By the way this isn't an argument in support of non-anonymous platforms, only that the way people interact with Reddit is quite harmful and not sure many recognize that.
Of course every case of anything is different in detail. On the other hand, identifying patterns is often useful in understanding human reactions to change. Do you disagree with this, or do you think there is something special about inventions?

Although he did real work in physics, Hofstadter's fame comes from writing popular books about science which explain things others have done in more saleable words. That particular niche is seriously threatened by GPT-4. No wonder he's upset.

Large language models teach us that absorbing large amounts of text and then blithering about some subject that text covers isn't very profound. It's just the training data being crunched on by a large but simple mechanism. This has knocked the props out from under ad copy writing, punditry, and parts of literature and philosophy. That's very upsetting to some people.

Aristotle wrote that humans were intelligent because only they could do arithmetic. Dreyfus wrote that humans were intelligent because only they could play chess. Now, profundity bites the dust.
> Just “doing something” isn’t necessarily valuable: just like scribbling a few words might not communicate that much.

I always bristle at this. Nobody does something without some semblance of a plan. It's what connects each action to the next. Especially in an organization, momentum is a thing. The tendency to contribute critically instead of originating (applied game theory), is a thing^. Edison, Ford, et al didn't wait to figure out the right thing. They did something with a vision. Often times waiting around for something that feels right instead of brainstorming wireframes, is the wrong choice.

That comment is not the reason for the function’s existence, but the details of how the function interacts with GC.

The reason for the function’s existence is that it allows typed arrays to dynamically switch between a fast/compact representation for the case that the JSVM owns the data, and a slightly slower and slightly less compact version for when the JSVM allows native code to share ownership of the data.

This function, slowDownAndWasteMemory, switches to the less efficient version that allows aliasing with native code.

Of course the name is sarcastic. The actual effect of having this is that JSC can handle both the owned case and the aliased case, and get a small will if you’re in the owned case while being able to switch to the aliased case at any time. Since there’s no way to support the aliased case without some slightly higher memory/time usage, we are sort of literally slowing down and wasting memory when we go aliased.

I’m not sure it really matters how liberal or conservative the church is. Fewer and fewer people in developed countries believe. Churches will presumably reflect the values of the societies they serve but shrink as fewer feel drawn to them.

I grew up in the similarly liberal English Catholic tradition, going to state funded Catholic schools. I never really believed in God but I retain an affection for the values of tolerance and charity they espoused, to ‘love thy neighbour as thyself’. Had they been more conservative I suspect the school would not have been as popular.

I never saw the attraction of Richard Dawkins brand of atheism as the type of fundamentalist Christianity it attacked was so different to my experience of liberal Catholicism. But I did consider debaptism when the English Cardinal started going on homophobic rants. It seemed antithetical to the values of our congregation. Then it came out he was a closeted gay man and the public homophobia was a way of covering that up.
As a certifiably "normie" book reader, I find Goodreads useless. Whenever I look at a book's reviews to figure out if it's worth it to buy, the reviews are filled with book enthusiasts (and often enthusiasts of that author). It makes sense, since they're probably the most likely to write a review of a book online in the first place.
Don't know if everyone got the same pictures, but I believe it's like a wordle type game where you get 5 guesses to get the correct location, all the images are for the same location, and every day they release a new 5 image puzzle.
