I hope they improve the platform. Tumblr is such a nice place with a cool atmosphere, but I hardly can justify using it (working in a tech news outlet) when there are so many rival platforms with way more people to talk to.
> To be fair there are cheaper EVs than Teslas

There are also ICE cars more expensive than your unnamed brand-new ICE car. It's fair to say EVs aren't for everyone, but the average price of a new car is around where you can get a Model 3 or Y.
I wasn't intending to trigger anyone but it seems I have. Perhaps I should have stated it as, "why OOP instead of organizing the code through other means?" It's a genuine question I have, and it just hasn't clicked for me yet, personally. So it's not really trying to be convincing at all; I'm just sharing my experience.
So only 37 years? I think I can live with that.
There used to be time without copyright at all. And the copyright was tightening rather slowly until it reached that infinite super serious thing it is now.
The issue was mitigated, and making top level tweets public was intentional. The timeline remains invisible (without DDOS).

Will other large thermalised system (e.g. rocks) also experience observations that "look classical"?

Another MWI proponent here is talking about how the "look classical" thing is "simply an artifact of being a conscious being that can only observe one value".

Is there something special about "large thermalised systems" (and/or humans)? How large have they to be to allow for "our observations"? Where is the boundary between the thing being observed and the observing thing?

MWI seems to still face most of the difficult questions - it not all.
My guess is that it is probably 1).
Somebody in their anti-spam team read "Google Calendar", saw my display and thought "Nah, that's no google calendar" :D

But maybe it was something else. It's of course possible I violated some kind of policy. But they're not sending me any debug messages :D
I looked it up, and you are technically correct ("the best kind of correct").

> 19 § När ett exemplar av ett verk med upphovsmannens samtycke har överlåtits inom Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet, får exemplaret spridas vidare.

Translated:

> 19 § When a specimen, with the consent of the author, has been transferred within the European economic area, the specimen may be further transferred.

The law goes on to carve out exceptions for computer programs and movies specifically, as well as renting generally -- those kinds of transfers are not allowed without author approval.

However, in combination with Biblioteksersättningen/författarfonden ("the library compensation/author fund"), which collects money based on the amount of lending in public libraries and distributes it to authors, it comes pretty close to statutory licensing in practice. It's not immediately clear to me that the payout is proportionally divided, though, so depending on how that skews, I may be way off.
Sure. I even some people will needs this.

What I was wondering out loud was how many people actually look at the number of overly long journeys they make and compare it to their perception of the number of overly long journeys they make.

The thing is that while NixOS configuration.nix also contains modules for software, it primarily concentrates on global services and might not have modules for programs that are meant to be run under user.

Fwiw, I don’t think Google has any sort of AI moat. I think the biggest moat that Google has is YouTube and Gmail where inertia prevents the change away.
It requires you have a macOS machine somewhere on your network to use Xcode to do the actual build.
We can expect a quantum computer with 20 million noisy qubits to break RSA 2048 [1]

I can't speak to coherence time or circuit depth concerns, but qubit counts are doubling roughly every year. Current chips have thousands of qubits, so the exponential scaling implies we'd have 20 million qubits by 2035-2040.

edit: And from the paper, the required quantum volume ("megaqubitdays") scales bewteen O(n^3) and O(n^4) with RSA key length. So a few years after breaking RSA 2048, you'd have a computer five times larger that could break RSA 3072.

Most people's idea of the ad marketplace is not unlike that of a person that believes that they could rewrite Twitter in a weekend. Reality is orders of magnitude more complicated than it appears.

The easiest shortcut to expand one's mind is to see how everyone could commit fraud. So for advertisement, the click could be fraudulent, the website owner could be fraudulent, the ad buyer could be malicious, and the ad network could be misrepresenting reality to any/all comers. It gets even better when you consider the intermediaries between most merchant and placing ads, as they tend to talk to different ad people to help make the ads, place the ads, and have an ad strategy: None of those extra steps are clean of fraud or incompetence.

Now design a working system that is remotely resistant to the different sources of fraud that every party could be committing, all with minimal human-to-human contact, as many of the steps involve interactions where at least one side is completely uninterested in talking to a human on the other side, as that would cut profits.

The end result is probably not going to be all that much cleaner than the current situation, which is optimized for nobody. It's just a little less unoptimized for Google and Facebook, because they are a bigger player than anyone else mentioned.Still they also have to start from the perspective that every interaction they might have with a smaller player could involve fraud.

For some reason the "reply" buttons past a certain level of nesting were missing for me, but that appears no longer to be the case, so I'm moving a previous comment here

The notion of relative validity is just semantic entailment, no? I have never seen that referred to in terms of validity, which has been reserved strictly for formulae that are true in all models, not in some class of models.

I’m a Platonist, and I suspect most mathematicians fall towards that end of the spectrum, so I disagree that most Mathematicians see ZFC as the arbiter of truth. They certainly aren’t doing formal proofs in ZFC, and in fact I suspect that most non-logician mathematicians would have difficulty reciting the axioms of ZFC.

That’s not to say I don’t appreciate proof theory and the desire to work in an axiomatic framework, indeed in a past life I spent most of my time formalising various things in Coq, but I don’t think it’s relevant to fundamental mathematical truth, which I believe exists outside of axiomatisation (and I think most mathematicians would agree).
People like you are funny because you don't realize I'm actually also calling out a lot of ivory tower people.

Also, I'm not saying you need the math to train a model. I'm not sure you even need linear algebra to do that, mostly just programming. That's why I called it the beginning. I was directly responding to your claim that this is all you need __to understand__. Because let's be real, you don't need to know backprop (and thus derivatives and chain rule) to train models. The math is about how to analyze your models. You know, specifically what academia is supposed to be doing. Research and engineering overlap but they aren't necessarily the same thing.

Besides, math education is notorious for being essentially free. Who needs Stanford/Berkeley/MIT when textbooks exist widely. (Btw, CS doesn't typically produce mathematicians)
Notion. I have a network of related databases and knowledge base style articles, interlinked as much as possible so as to allow clicking through. This works pretty well for us.
Some people do use cassette to record, and you might get good results with that. That said, digital is impartial. If your mixes seem empty, it's probably because of what you're feeding it.

If it were me I'd try an analog mixer with mic preamps that bring some of that warmth in. Or perhaps some classic microphones plugged into a small tube pre, for instance the ART tube pre, unless you have thousands of dollars to throw an an old Neve console, the brand which was at the heart of some of the studios where classic rock albums were recorded.

I personally like some old 60s Sony mics and a perhaps even older Shure PA system mic to add a soft, vintage sound signature.

> No. For one, I use the ordinal date option in ISO 8601 because the whole month and day thing is stupid.

Apart from this being very funny and an interesting idea I have a question: how do you deal with leap years? Many important dates throughout the year (e.g. holidays, birthdays, business quarters etc.) are bound to specific days of months, do you just have to remember that all such days after February are one off sometimes in an ordinal date system?

If you accept the current assumption of double exponential growth for both computing performance and algorithmic efficiency then you would have to accept that 256 bit elliptic curve keys will become obsolete in the 2040s. So it might be just RSA and discrete logs today but a requirement for pointlessly long EC keys will be along soon.

In 1975, large state state universities (like Michigan State and U Virginia) cost about $1500 for tuition and another $1500 for room and board.

Since you could earn about $1500 working each summer, your maximum shortfall was $1500 per year (assuming no loans or grants), or $6000 per bachelor degree. At the CPI's 194% inflation, today that would equate to less than $12k of debt.

I'd also like to know how much nonacademic college costs like R&B have inflated -- when provided by the rapacious university system. They should have followed the CPI. But I'd lay strong odds they haven't.
Good. Would you mind reviewing the thread and answering some of the many questions I’ve asked that you haven’t answered?

Specifically, for one, please define “science”, so we can get to the question of what is and what is not science. The claim that social science is not science is yours to justify.

A list of social sciences is in the Wikipedia article I linked to already. Sociology and Anthropology would be good representative examples.

Well, you could argue about the definition of a cult but in many ways the influencer phenomenon is a modern incarnation of that (eg. Andrew Tate).
Has the author really learned that Gmail is a better fit than Outlook? Who is paying for this product? There is a fair chance that Outlook would open up more sales opportunities to businesses, that appears to be the most obvious way to generate some income.

Secondary, a lot of clicks came from India, Kazakhstan, Costa Rica and Argentina… is this the target market? Probably not.

It is an interesting experience for the author but it is unclear if they really learned anything. It looks to me like they have been potentially misguided by poor market research gathered by a bad ad campaign.

I find your reply to be a little bit strange. As often you're throwing some claims in the air, and only back those up with seemingly irrelevant links. I've never used Azure which is behind that "HPC" link, but at least Azure != Window in my book.

I doubt that Windows licensing costs are that significant compared to HPC hardware. If there are good technical reasons to run on Windows, licensing shouldn't be an issue.

Windows source code only being available through a tedious process might be a big problem. The free beer part is only a small aspect, and being accessible might be more important (as I said).

You haven't reacted to Windows filesystems seeming slower (can only judge from my work PC), and slow filesystem are pretty sure a bad thing for many HPC workloads.

I don't know much about Windows administration, but from all I've witnessed it's a lot of manual clicking around and fixing configurations that get periodically overridden. Scripting tools, like Powershell, and package managers for sure exist, but Windows never had an equally pronounced administration culture like Unix had. Heck, look at cmd, it's a bad joke (and I still begrudgingly use it because Powershell never seemed inviting to me to learn, and doesn't seem nice for interactive use).

It might even have become better with Powershell and everything, but things don't change overnight.

For kicks I asked ChatGPT about it and it basically told me the same thing.

PS: not a fanboy, I'm writing this from my Windows dev machine.
It's not about the language, it's about access to APIs.

>Not every car needs to be a sleek $80k Tesla.

Tesla would agree with you, that's why the Model 3 starts at 40k and in the US is eligible for a $7500 credit. Bonus points if you're in a state like California where you can get additional credits.
I follow a radio program about cars.
It's funny how the presenters until a few years ago called themselves "petrol heads" and hated EV like everyone did back then.

Now that there's an end date for ICE and more and more investment is redirected to EV they have changed their tune.
You do not bite the hand that feeds.
Depending on the efficiency of the car, you can probably charge 50 miles in about 10 hours on a 120v, 12amp charger. Most cars spend about that long parked overnight, every night of the week. That’s not trickle charging, btw, that’s 1.4kW of power. And if you have an electric clothes dryer then you probably have a 30amp circuit to plug into if you wanted. That’s easily 4× as much power.

But it’s unlikely to be a good idea to replace your car while you still have a mortgage on an existing one. That’s just common sense.
The author said that it mounts MacOS home dir by default, so that would mean you can pass files that way.
No disagreement here. But I hold that this is an especially confusing way of describing independent statements, especially in this paper, which certainly was written by a logician.

I take particular issue with the phrasing because it confused me for years in highschool and throughout undergraduate. How could something be true and not provable? It took me until a model theory course to realize that it cannot, and most pop descriptions of the incompleteness theorem are - dare I say it - wrong. Though I'm sure you would argue it's not wrong, merely an informal description.

I would, however, expect a bachelor's thesis not to stray into such confusing territory.

Meta can't shut this down. Sideloading has been a feature of the Quest since the start, stopping this would represent a paradigm shift for developers of the platform.

> The project reinforces the idea that the Quest products are of low quality (evidenced by comments here).

They are. That's why they cost $400 (game console territory) instead of $3,500 (OLED TV or iMac territory).

"Comments here" will tell you the Quest is a failed product after 20 million units sold. The people on this website have never been representative of the market at-large.

Strange - com.apple.Virtualization.VirtualMachine goes into 400% CPU and the Ubuntu VM freezes. I've now reproduced it twice. Not sure why this happens.
> Linux kernel is not entirety of Linux.

Technically, yes, it is. "Linux" refers to the kernel, not to all of the other stuff you need on top of the kernel for a fully-formed OS. Although "Linux" is not used in that sense in the world at large anymore.

But this distinction is why you see some people mentioning that you should say "Gnu/Linux" and the like when referring to the OS as whole.
I couldn’t disagree more. Magic is not real. The “magic” of reality is precisely found in its non-magical roots. Nothing is more beautiful than an understanding of the natural world. Fully understanding how the universe works illuminates the world and makes life brighter. The hand-waving act of calling something magic robs the us of that enlightenment. If you mean to say “wondrous” or “fascinating” in your use of the term “magic” then yes, we should strive to hold on to the wonder of life. But we can’t claim that the word “magic” means something that it does not.

I came to this conclusion after being raised in a religion that discounted and discredited any explanation of how the world came into existence outside of simply saying it was created by god. As I learned about science I realized that to believe god created the universe by the wave of a hand was to rob the universe of it’s beauty.

I realize that some overlap can exist between these ideas but in general, that is not the norm.
nobody is proposing "taking away the possibility of reward", or making anything such that "you couldn't win the jackpot even if you hit all the numbers", so it sounds like there're no issues with the proposal

if there was data that shows copyrighted works usually earn nothing the first 5 years, and earn significant value after that, or even that annual earnings from copyrighted works usually increase after 5 years, the argument against the proposed reform would be more convincing,

but in any case, the purpose of copyright is to encourage new works, not allow authors to perpetually cash in on old ones like a lottery ticket instead
It's also a bit misleading because it only quotes DeepMind CEO as saying "I think that memo was real" and "And I haven’t read that specific memo in detail, but I disagree with the conclusions from that"
>People tend to fall into the content creator casino trap, since for every person who gets rich or manages to have a sustainable income for their work, there's 1000 who wastes a ton of effort without ever getting anywhere

That applies to paywalled content too, my guy. That logic doesn't work.

>You can get some excellent content for $10 per year, but a more normal price is around $50 per year - which is still dirt cheap

I have never seen any content anywhere be available for 10$ a year, and 50$ a year isn't cheap unless you provide a LOOOOOT of content. Even if it is worth it, most people living paycheck to paycheck can't afford that.

>Why don't you apply this argument to a restaurant? The ingredients in your meal are cheap, so why should you pay for your meal? Since the labour of the people making and serving apparently has no value. Why aren't Ubers just the cost of gas? Etc.

All of those things are more expensive than bandwidth and are also scarce physical goods. Yes, I know, labor costs are a thing and so is electricity, etc. Thats why I brought up a mixed-payment model such as Discord. You might not make as much money as Facebook with their ad-based services, but if you want to serve the biggest amount of people that is a logical way to go. The service is free, but non-essential extras cost. Works for both parties.

>If small time content creators can't get paid, they'll do something else. That content will not exist to pirate.

I find that this is rarely true, and is hyperbole at best. Very few small time content creators paywall their content. Rather, they sell merch and accept donations. "But, what if they don't win the lottery and get big?" Yeah, they wouldn't be making that money anyway even if it were paywalled.

As for big time content creators, such as Disney, they also make the vast majority of their money off of merch. The actual ticket sales are a small fraction of total revenue so piracy is an extremely small dent in profit.

I say all this to say this...paywalls are not the answer to this problem. Its not a dichotomy like people want to assume. These past few days I have researched alternative revenue models, even brought up a few in this discussion, and paywalling is too restrictive to make any sort of sense for most consumers that are broke or value their money.
No, I would not call that regulations. Typically, regulations refers to the government restricting or requiring business activity.

The government offering loans in the first place is regulation, and choosing not to do underwriting is part of that regulation.

I.e. the government regulated that they would lend tens of thousands of dollars to any student, so student A can no longer bargain with the school for a lower price because student B, C, and D are lined up to pay whatever is asked.
Both (if I remember correctly): blogging on Medium.com. It started as (and still is a) personal blog about software development things but it started to get some traction through Google search at some point.
I don't know if my world view would shift from an answer given off the cuff by someone who is not an expert in that domain. There are many rationales for switching to screens including easier to update and may be seen as more up to date.
