>Fewest? Japan Haneda: 13.6%

This doesn't surprise me at all. (Note: Haneda is in Tokyo)

What's worse is Tokyo (and much of Japan) gets a lot of bad weather from typhoons during the summer. But the weather doesn't disrupt things very much. Most of these other places (like London, Frankfurt, Vancouver, etc.) don't have this problem, or other problems with natural disasters (Japan gets earthquakes all the time), but they still can't keep things working smoothly for some reason.

It's better to ensure 100% compatibility with the data format so the new server versions can read the old format without conversions. For example, in ClickHouse, you can install the latest version over a version from 7 years ago, and it will work just fine with the old MergeTree tables.

I did a bit of Googling. It’s a desalination plant on the Dead Sea. That is the Jordan River. The stretch they are building the salt wall on is barren desert land.

Jericho is the nearest town, 18,000 people, 8” of rain a year, 2 miles from the border. They presumably get their water from that desalination plant. No towns that far south are getting their water from it. The river barely even makes it to the Dead Sea anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_River#Main_environmenta...

Adding a bit more salt into the famously-salty Dead Sea are the least of their problems in that part of the world. Where else would you put the salt, anyway? Putting it all into the Dead Sea would be even worse —- at least this reduces the amount that makes it back there. Putting it into any other watershed would cause vastly more harm.

It seems like a good enough solution to me. If you think about it, it wouldn’t be in Israel’s interests to inflame tensions with Jordan over this, if it were really an issue.

I'm struggling to understand how you came to this conclusion. I urge you to read the official report from the BEA (which is parroted in the Wikipedia article). The report clearly paints a very different picture, that of two highly credentialed imbeciles in the cockpit that bungled the response to a routine minor emergency and deviated from procedure (the captain was asleep with the younger copilot and a relief pilot at the controls). They subsequently forgot how to fly an airplane without automation (or never learned how), and made a series of unbelievable errors. The captain burst into the cockpit with just enough time to realize what had happened and curse them out in French (they were beyond the point of recovery and realized their fate) and the rest is history.

From the Wikipedia article:

On 17 April 2023, Airbus and Air France were both acquitted of manslaughter.
If we hadn't spammed the internet with AI generated shite, we wouldn't need the ChatGPT to dig through it and could just use Google...

I'm not as excited about this as I am about most new tech. I'm sure there will be cool uses eventually but right now it seems like the primary use is to cheat at exams and write bad articles, and to ask the kind of questions Google could have answered 5 years ago.

I do think it's cool that it can debug and review code though.
I paid for it for a month or so but thinking of going back now that Google is getting increasingly shittier.

I'll put it this way: It's not a lot better than 2013 Google, but it's looking a lot better than 2023 google. And this removal (just an A/B test for now, since it works fine in incognito mode) would make Google pretty much useless for me. I guess I didn't realize how bad the results have become until this option was taken from me.

Kagi is expensive for something that used to be free, but I wouldn't have to worry about core functionality being taken away to optimize their search results for ads, since there aren't any.

Yeah, but Microsoft already gets 75% of the profits OpenAI makes, it's not the same price for them as the rest of us.
I think it's easier than that. When using the IV using a 96 bit fixed field and 32 bit counter, FIPS SP800-38d says you are limited to 2**32 "invocations of the authenticated encryption function with any given fixed field and key". What they call the fixed field is the common 96 bit IV or nonce.

So you can do 512Gb or 64GB under one nonce. Then simply increment the fixed field and run the next 64GB under the same key and new nonce (nonce+1) and so on. In essence, it's the same thing is just making the fixed field smaller and the counter bigger, but meets the letter and intent of the law. The "fixed field" can be anything the user wants, including being "constructed from two or more smaller fields". And it is not constrained to remain the same under multiple invocations. Still compatible with FIPS and common implementations. It doesn't have to be some fancy ratcheting scheme.

The initial "fixed field" or nonce could even always just be all zeros [1]. It doesn't matter, it's not secret.

If for some reason you want to encrypt that much under one key, which I think you really don't.

> Standardized testing is the benchmark for efficient signaling.

I suppose it is indeed the benchmark, but standardized testing has mixed results.

Aircraft pilot testing is, I believe, somewhat standardized and does demonstrate that at least when you it you met some baseline level of safety.

The bar exam shows you have some baseline level of competency (as a non-lawyer who never read any law I am sure I would not pass) but I doubt it’s especially predictive as to how good a lawyer you will be.

I took the SAT and got into a bunch of schools, but I was struck by how it didn’t seem to reflect much of anything we learned in school, except some of the math (we were not given any sat prep nor encouraged to get any). Note: I know MIT says SAT is somewhat predictive as to whether you will graduate, so…?

I wonder about these full-cohort tests that control school admissions, such as in China, Korea, Japan, or France. Are the “winners” actually better in some useful way or is it simply a sorting hat that bins students into institutions with good/mediocre/bad networks?

I agree that that's largely what has happened. The scope of law has been extended Beyond violence and personal property. I do feel that once you cross that boundary there's no consistent philosophical underpinnings to the law. Is purely subjective imposition of majority rule.

Dropping concrete limitations to the scope of law opens it up too anything. What is non-physical harm? What if turning down someone's sexual advances hurts their self-esteem? What if refusing to work for me hurts my ability to make a living.

The point is that once you abandon a concrete definition of harm, your punished into a world of capricious law what's the times to regulate every individual Behavior on a Case by case basis.

You're missing the point, it's not Switch vs Steam Deck, or even Switch vs Steam Deck and PC Gaming Handhelds.

It's Switch vs. Steam, which is available on desktop, laptop and handheld form factors and in the future likely a lot more (see box86/FEX, Chromebooks, Deckard). Valve doesn't care where you buy your games, they care that you buy them from Valve.

Valve don't need Steam Deck to become as big as Switch, Steam as a whole already is.
Is the labor market tight enough for the signaling requirements to relax naturally? If employers struggle to hire enough entry level people who can read memos and learn basic office software, they probably won't require a generic 4 year degree. But as long as there's enough labor that employers can still be picky, I don't see why/how employers will drop that easy (if blunt) 4 year degree filtering mechanism.

The signaling value of a traditional degree will go up if fewer people acquire it, so the optimal outcome for parents anxious about their own children's future prospects is that other people's children should consider vocational education or go straight from high school into the work force.

I say this aware that many high school grads without academic inclinations are nudged toward universities by default, to their irritation and to the detriment of their more seriously academic classmates. I don't see how to fix it until/unless the labor market gets tight enough to squeak. Until then, every small move to fix the problem will raise the reward for "defecting" back toward earning a degree as a signal.
your argument was summarized above, and it simply doesn't present a plausible scenario:

the dude swearing at Facebook had no power to repeal section 230, no power to control the GOP Senate into doing so, and no plausible path to convincing the GOP to censor the sort of content in question (content the GOP itself supports, content they oppose censoring)

in short: the "threat" you described isn't realistic or plausible, least of all by Facebook, and a claim of coercion requires that the threat be plausible, not imaginary and contrived

I try to do this but money is limited. If I tried this for every service I use, I would be pretty broke and I am not the only one. The average salary in America is around 40-50k/year.

It's my lovely city of San Francisco. The list of things the locals have been grumpy about is quite large. Let me list some of the ones I know of:

1. An ice-cream store opening on a block with another ice-cream store on it. Owner eventually gave up, but there's an entertaining live tweet thread about it https://twitter.com/_fruchtose/status/1271280300228632576?s=...

2. A cafe where too many people would work on their laptops (they petitioned to say it was a zoning violation - coworking space not cafe). It was a nice cafe. Place blighted now

3. A housing project that would take away the Nordstrom valet parking lot. The housing project was blocked, but Nordstrom left independently. Now neither Nordstrom nor housing exists

As far as I can tell, if "grumpy locals" do something in SF, chances are that a normal human being would do the opposite.

> Standardized testing is the benchmark for efficient signaling.

No, it's not. And your anecdote proves it.

Or rather, standardized testing just show how well you do on an exam. That means it tests how smart you are, and how well you can study the material on the test.

But (according to Caplan) that's barely the point in the kind of signalling education is good for. You could mostly just give people an IQ test as part of your hiring process.

Education takes years doing mostly pointless tasks, so that you can signal your long term _conformity_. You might be able to see how an employer might value someone who can credibly show that they can be a good cog in the machine for a long time (even if they don't see the point of the machine).
That nobody else seems to be trying hard enough, despite being well-funded and respectable companies. And until somebody does, we're stuck with NVidia/Cuda or half-working stuff that's way more hassle to prototype or build a product from.
Admittedly, I don’t know what Waymo is (or Cruise for that matter) but if someone told me it was “Uber but they don’t rate their drivers” it would still sound about right as far as human drivers go.
>I can’t fathom how we could think that, surely as long as plates move around and stone weathers this sort of geological events can happen?

I learned recently (can't remember where, or how reliable) that plate tectonics did not create mountain ranges till carbon life had been around for awhile, because the carbon layers left behind are slippery (graphite) and allow one plate to slide over another plate. Prior to that, the plates simply pulverized each other.

anybody know if this is true?

It’s trying to encourage acquiescence before anything has even been discussed. It’s definitely a manipulative tactic.
Your last sentence makes me wonder when Meta decided on the launch date for Threads. Were they always planning to launch it early summer timeframe or they seized on the recent Zuck/Musk fight drama + twitter rate limiting to maximize eyeballs? Threads is far from feature complete.
