Yup, your explanation resonates with what I think are the superficial reasons society is accepting of both of these cases. You have to think a little bit deeper to feel why this might be problematic.

If the economist weighs the risk to not put too much stock in these theories (no pun intended actually), why does he not likewise hesitate to teach these theories to his students? Like "I don't believe 100% that this is how the world works enough to bet my own money, but I am going to tell hundreds of students every year this is how the world works."

The biologist story is subtler. One could argue that failure to become a parent signals that you deeply, fundamentally, don't get biology - despite your superficial interest and theoretical knowledge? Like, you may talk about zygotes all day but you failed to make one...

Maybe the difference between economists and biologists vs financial advisors and engineers is that we expect the later to have skin in the game but for some reason allow the former to not have to.
> person who promotes systemic anti-Asian racism intolerant of different views and gaslights others “deny the humanity of people”; fired for inappropriate behavior

I think it’s progress that intolerant bigots have to appropriate the language of civil rights to gaslight rather than wear their white hoods openly.

I look forward to a future where intolerant racists aren’t given institutional platforms to promote their views.
I’m not sure about ACH (directly from your checking account) rights. But, debit cards issued with the Mastercard, Visa, Amex logos give you the same rights as credit cards. Where you can get the charge reversed.

However there are a lot more knock on effects while you’re waiting for actual cash to be put back into your account than there are when you’re just waiting to get a credit card transaction reversed.

Not only can they potentially drain your checking account. They can also drain any linked Savings account that you have to cover overdrafts.

I only keep $500 in my linked Savings account to cover any of our accounts.

I observed exactly what you said about the Clojure filenames not matching up, etc. etc.

#!/bin/bash

# Variables

# Function to create fuzzy hash for each file in a directory
create_fuzzy_hashes() {
dir=$1
for file in $(find $dir -type f)
do
ssdeep -b $file >> ${dir}/hashes.txt
done
}

# Create fuzzy hashes for each file in the directories
create_fuzzy_hashes $DIR1
create_fuzzy_hashes $DIR2

# Compare the hashes
ssdeep -k $DIR1/hashes.txt $DIR2/hashes.txt

How far do you think this gets us (fuzzy hashing)?

I was thinking this, or binary diffing the .class (instead of the "decompiled" .java)?
Out of interest are you a physicist or chemist, or have a very good understanding of either of those subjects?

Asking because I found the book extremely dry and hard to get excited about (I only read the first half admittedly) due to it seeming to be aimed at people who do understand that stuff quite deeply. I'm amazed so many people can enjoy it.

For example, was I supposed to know who all those early twentieth century physicists were? It seemed like I was. Apart from Einstein and Oppenheimer I hadn't really heard of most of them.
Exactly, everyone builds on the past.
Criticizing Oppenheimer in this way is missing point.
Maybe he wasn't Einstein, but maybe Einstein wouldn't be able to organize and run a project. Part of this was also a combination of Physics Knowledge merged with getting things done, managing, organizing.

Hard disagree. A very clear counterexample from my usage:

Gpt-4 is phenomenal at helping a skilled person work on tangential tasks where their skills generally translate but they don’t have strong domain knowledge.

I’ve been writing code for a decade, and recently I’ve been learning some ML for the first time. I’m using gpt-4 everyday and it’s been a delight.

To be fair, I can see one might find the rough edges annoying on occasion. For me, it’s quite manageable and not much of a bother. I’ve gotten better at ignoring or working around them. There is definitely an art to using these tools.

I expect the value provided to continue growing. We haven’t plucked all of the low-hanging or mid-hanging fruit yet.

Even if JPEG-XL could be considered only 'marginally' better than JPEG, and as good or even worse than avif/webP in some specific context, it is unique in the fact that it can also do lossless, HDR, extremely high res, complex color channels, generation loss protection, multi layers, advanced authoring features, etc...
It's not a format only meant for the web but plenty of other use cases such as in science, medecine, art print, etc.

And not only that, it's reasonably fast to encode on consumer hardware.

JPEG XL has the ambition to supplant all the images formats of the next 20+years.

I could teach a two hour master class and go hard without giving out of breath. The first time I decided to do an outdoor 5K on a whim, it took me 40 minutes and I felt like I was going to die. I had to do run specific training.

This is also false. If you look at professional soccer players. They do all sorts of excercises that you never see in a game. I assume lot's of American footplayers also lift weight in training. Yet there are no weights on playing field. Shouldn't they just play games in training?

Yes, we're talking past each other. What credit card fraud protection means is that if you purchased something and didn't receive your product, or didn't receive the product as specified, you will get your money back from the credit card company. If you purchase something with a bank transfer and you didn't receive the product you can call the bank, but they won't give you your money back. With credit cards you have some protection against being scammed.
Nuclear reactors offer all the fun of leak tracing and invisible cracks with the added bonus that the fluids involved are extremely radioactive and contaminate everything they touch. This is why all the "just mass produce small reactors" and "just try thorium / molten salt" stuff hasn't taken off, and may never: all the beautiful theory disintegrates into man-years of laborious leak testing.
Can anyone comment on why this was downvoted? Is it not true? Even though sharing secrets with the Soviets would have been different from sharing them with Israel, if it was unsanctioned it still seems like this is a big deal.

Apple has only done two large acquisitions in 30 years. Next for $700 Million and Beats for $3 billion.

Even Apple’s cheapest phone - the iPhone SE is over $100 more expensive than the average Android phone sold in the US.

Apple has usually sold this years model, last years model and the year before that concurrently. Sometimes when the n-1 model is too expensive to sell at a discount they introduce a new phone (ie the iPhone 5C)

The person who was talking about this optimization should know that they should provide context.

Do they work for a high frequency trading firm? Do they make a CRUD app which has few users and (as much as I hate that) "they can wait even 5 seconds".

If the person does not give context then they dont explain well..

On a side note: for me the problem seems to be not the speed, but the choke point - just 2 servers (with no redudancy?). What one or both go down?
> If the culture values skinny bombshell models

Skinny and bombshell are different. Even a bombshell model that is skinny is curvy and not the kind of neotenous androgynous ideal I referred to. You missed the point and clearly don't understand the significance of the difference.

> If everything I say is logically correct and everything you say has issues with correctness, then who's the ignorant one?

It doesn't matter if what you say appears to be logically correct to you because it's overfitted to a small subset of history that makes sense to you and actually falls apart under a larger evolutionary timeline. Thank you for proving my point.

You don't actually grapple with divergent local evolutionary pressures creating different, competing and often conflicting ideals of feminine beauty each of which make sense for a given evolutionary context, because it's easier to be intellectually lazy than to actually build a model that accounts for that evidence.

Who's the ignorant one? The one who continues to ignore full evolutionary context, so still you.
Good. There's nothing special about any of these methods.

The linear regression can still discriminate against you for your race, age, medical history, gender, etc.

I've been hoping for a technical blog on their text rendering techniques but haven't seen one yet.

It never was, and we knew it. Whole civilization went extinct when they depleted their sources of food or energy (e.g. wood) or poisoned themselves.

The exception here I think is the choice of data structure. If you know that code will be extended to accept additional fields it makes sense to be sure to use an extensible data structure or to ensure that side effects are contained correctly (a good idea anyway) and in a way that allows extensibility when they must be changed.

My app doesn't let me edit comments, but I think you need to hear this: use of the word "natural" is a strong indicator of intellectual dishonesty.

Social backsliders like to harken back to some mythical golden age, ignoring that a million years ago we were savannah apes with a society you wouldn't recognise, and ignoring that sexual freedom / matriarchy / homosexuality / transsexuality are found in nature.

The very fact you use the word "natural" in a discussion about a smartphone app ought to be a hint to you.

What do you mean by characterizing Snap! and its HTML extensions as a "custom-made visual programming kit"?

How is it "custom-made", and what's wrong with that?

The HTML extensions to Snap! are essentially just block based macros.

Are Lisp macros a "custom-made domain specific language", therefore it's bad to make websites with Lisp if you use macros because they're "custom-made"?

Paul Graham would probably disagree. What's wrong with using "any language you want", what's so "custom-made" about Snap!, and why is that a problem?

Lisp in Web-Based Applications

Paul Graham

(This is an excerpt of a talk given at BBN Labs in Cambridge, MA, in April 2001.)

Any Language You Want

One of the reasons to use Lisp in writing Web-based applications
is that you can use Lisp. When you're writing software that is
only going to run on your own servers, you can use whatever language
you want.

I was a bit disappointed that you need a supabase account for "self hosting it".. And this is supposed to work only on some hosting service that can connect to Supa base, and also it encourages to fetch your pages content from github..
So it's more a CMS to run with specific service providers rather than something you can actually self host.

Store just the sequential id, compute the hash on the edge.

This keeps your database simple and performant, and pushes complexity and work to the backend servers. This can be nice because developers are typically more at home at that layer, and scaling the backend can be a lot easier than scaling your database. But it also comes with the downsides listed in this thread.
What's the fastest serverless database provider?
So what should be used as the icon for languages?

I accidently changed languages in my phone to Arabic on android. It uses no icons to display languages, when a language is chosen all the options changed to the localized Arabic names.

I think the only logical solution is to display the options in the language, eh Arabic in Arabic letters, English in English letters etc.

But icons would still be useful. But there isn't a universally accepted icon for any language.
Yeah... no it isn't. Blaming people's email servers is the wrong move here. I've used Fastmail.com for the last 5 years, I keep my inbox at 0 and I look at my spam folder every week.

All kinds of wild shit makes it through to my email, so there's no way your invite got bounced. Good luck.
I do my best with honest intentions and open mind. If some make it through, so be it.

Nefertiti is one example of beauty that was shaped by evolutionary pressures for a very specific region and civilization. Consider Börte and other steppe women for contrasting examples. You are oversimplifying a vast swath of human history to make a point that does not stand up.
