It's worth noting in general that on the topic of moderating a public forum, one of the constraints is the bandwidth of the moderators. I remember when EA ran into trouble because they attempted to build an AI model to auto moderate conversations in game chat. Their model failed when they trird to take the model built in one game and apply it to another game where the context involved a lot more discussion of Nazis. But the reasoning was sound: the inputs they used to train the model were the probability that a given sequence of conversation would result in the need to use human moderation intervention. They wanted to do less of that, so they trained a model to see it coming.

Similarly, the bandwidth limiting on Hacker News diminishes moderation workload, because nobody has to moderate a comment never posted. And I don't doubt the site has enough signal to make an educated guess that posts going rapidly in a short burst of time is a good low resolution flamewar signal.

Too many words to say the post limiter throttle is one of the things that keeps the site free to use.
this tendency is even worse for us physicists...
Your example explicitly uses ethno-nationalism to benefit its country, focusing on bringing back ethnically Korean engineers, while the GPs proposal entirely ignores nationality and ethnicity.

Given that TSMC's founder was a Taiwanese immigrant educated and trained in the US, we can take a good guess at how the GPs proposal would turn out.

In the case of Musk, that isn't true. The COTS contract awarded half the money ($150M) without any hardware built--it was up-front. This amounted to more than the total amount Elon invested and more than covered Falcon 1, meaning he never had to spend his own money.

This is the basis of the radiothermal generator (RTG); but generally, the spent fuel is deemed spent in the first place because it's no longer emitting enough heat/neutrons to be worth keeping in the reactor. It's already got to the point of "it's no longer worth the hassle of handling this and dealing with all those neutrons/gamma radiation in exchange for a mediocre amount of warmth".
Well, I'm really old and also (for probably unrelated reasons) really dumb, but for me Gore-Tex has been an absolute revelation. Whereas previously, rain gear was heavy and had a very limited lifetime, anything with the magic GORE-TEX (sorry for the all-caps, but that is the trademark...) label actually worked and lasted pretty much forever (like PFAS, I get it now, but still...).

I'm sure that PE-coated and membrane-only gear are also really great, and I'll definitely check them out the next time I need a new softshell, but for the next decade or so, I'm also sure my current jacket will be just fine.

But, Nikwax? Nope... good for the outside layer of shoes (with the inside layer taking care of heat/moisture), but that's really about it. Tents, maybe, car-tops, no idea, but for garments that's just a no-go, since it will all but eliminate outgoing heat transfer.
Public advertisements for prescription-only drugs should qualify as a form of disinformation/misinformation, as the reason they are prescription-only is that the involvement of a trained professional who has detailed knowledge of the patient's specific history is absolutely required to determine whether or not the drug is appropriate for that patient's condition.

Even direct marketing to physicians is somewhat questionable, except for the distribution of the results of clinical trials and peer-reviewed medical journal articles on the efficacy of drugs, and even these can suffer from conflict-of-interest if the research reports are being generated with funds from the pharmaceutical entity that will benefit from increased sales of those drugs.

Most countries ban social media / cable television / print media etc. advertisements of prescription-only drugs for these reasons.

The thing to keep in mind about comparisons to the civil rights era is that it was a learning experience for state power as well. Training has changed to avoid the sort of "righteous confrontation" king was capitalizing on. Propaganda is much more sophisticated now, dissipating and denigrating public support, portraying protestors as unruly criminals or unsympathetic radicals both before and after the protests. Not that they didn't try, and to some extent succeed, to do this with civil rights protests but they are much better at it now.

Protest is as sophisticated a conflict as anything else, and tactics are not static but constantly changing on both sides. It's important to keep that in mind, and that also that king's own tactics were considered polarizing and unhelpful by the white mainstream of his time. Only in retrospect do we consider them noble and effective for his cause, but that doesn't mean they necessarily will be effective for other causes, against other tactics.

A large amount changes to policing and police policy has been in direct response to the civil rights movement in the abstract. EG not about its goals and consequences per se, but how to preempt, discredit, and disperse public movements so that nothing of its size and power can emerge again, regardless of the motivating cause.
I had a fantastic Gore-Tex jacket (Browning) that was simply magical for hiking in the rain or wet snow.

For two seasons.

Now I have a Arc'Teryx with real water proofing and huge side vents. Still working 100% after 6 years. I just checked and Arc'Teryx looks to have gone full Gore-Tex now, my jacket isn't on the product list :-(
I would argue that train signalling is not intentionally obfuscated as brainfuck is however. Just a different form of thinking.
> too few people for all the jobs, for the most part.

Change that qualifier to "for a minority part" and it would be correct.

There are plenty of workers - old and young and everything in between - who would gladly work if a) you allowed them to and/or b) you paid them enough.
Good place to put a time capsule.
A core point is the line "Analyze whether the asset has a common value element. A common value asset, like a jar of coins, has equal value to all bidders. If so, bid with caution."

In auctions where the asset does not have equal value to all bidders, the winners curse is less likely to apply. Because if you guess the value of the object higher than all others, that can happen because it is fundamentally worth more to you, rather than because you had the most over-estimation.
New York has been getting less dense though, which is the point of TFA. As demand has outstripped supply, prices of real estate and everything consequent to that (labor, professional services, retail goods, transportation etc.) will increase in price as well.

"Costs" in Houston don't look so much better than NYC when you add the significantly higher transportation expenses to their lower rents. Also, local salaries are a third less, so you have that much less money for everything.
Lawns in the US consume as many resources as they do because the typical lawn you see isn't a species native to the US, instead it was imported from Europe. With the soil being different etc., it is not surprising lawns, especially when they're as big as in the US, require so many resources.

I have to agree so much. Been following for years, and started new experiments this week. It all worked so well.

dune init …

opam install some tools like lsp

restart vscode

dune build --watch and I’m good to go.

Edit: adding some counterpoints and issues to level the field (but are being worked on)

1. dune/opam - wish they were one thing. I can still install packages with dune, and a package lock file exists for deterministic-enough builds.

2. dune files and s-expressions are still weird to write. I wish we can move away, or at best, have a tool that helps you remember and where configs. best I have now is chatgpt instead of having to crawl dune docs

3. eio, lwt, async - 3 async runtimes, hoping that one day it’ll be easy to use an async lib with an lwt-based project via eio. The division will likely never be consolidated
The source is not publicly available, no. It‘s still being actively developed and sold after all. There isn‘t really much of a barrier between engine and 'scripting', it‘s all custom and integrated.
The reason there are so few bugs is that there is a ton of effort spent on squashing them! The approach is basically to fix any reported issue if in any way reasonable.

Homes can have neighboring properties and non-owner occupants and there are third-party fire risk concerns with both. It is not good if people build homes which are at risk of spreading fire to neighboring properties, or at risk of harming occupants in case of a fire.

Building codes are a big reason we don't have nearly as many events called "the great fire of [city]" in the 21st century.
If you’re shocked by lack of push-back, you are in store for a lot more shocks going forward. People that build things and people that gatekeep, regulate, etc… are mostly disjoint sets. They are the two sides to upcoming war. Progress vs safety. The world as a whole is tilting towards progress right now, we’ve seen the limitations to safety.
Wait, that is per day?!
> Everyone? I wasn’t sure. I doubt a fresh-outta-CSS-bootcamp person would either.

You could say the same about any api not being immediately obvious.

> And using shorthands for singular properties feels like reinvented CSS

It’s quite a nice way to describe css in my experience. The shorthand classes actually teaches you css too. As they’re basically a 1-1 mapping, but you can write them much faster than manually writing the styles

It also scales well, as you don’t get crazy css class hierarchy’s that are hard to modify.

> you can’t even refactor mb-5 { margin-bottom: 6α }. If you can’t use it to refactor, what’s its point?

Not impossible, I mean you can easily edit the tailwind.config to be different for mb-5. Or search all relevant instances of mb-5 and replace them with mb-6 for example.

I think it’s best for component-driven development, where you want to encapsulate styles with components and not have them dependent on the context that their in. It does make the HTML more verbose, but development much easier and faster
Are you sure? Maybe most people will search with aspirational scores
Space exploration is not the best puzzle game ever made. Space exploration is not the best factorip mod ever made.

Space exploration has a great presentation layer (graphics and UI) but the logistics challenge and gameplay challenges leave lots to be desired. I implore you to try many of the other high quality factorio mods made over the years.

Pyanodons is easily the greatest factorio mod. The sheer quality and scale leaves SE trembling.

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Krastorio2

I'd say nearly every single one of these mods has quality on par with Space Exploration.

Relatedly, to have a useful chatbot you need to track chat history in a way very similar to augmenting with document retrieval, but you may need to generate embeddings and summaries as you go.

What did it mean when Zelensky said in February 2022 that items such as disarmament in 1994 agreement are in doubt? The 1994 agreement was meant to remove Soviet nukes from Ukraine and to ensure buffer space. Since then NATO has pushed further east.

Some people have tried this, even before computers were available to individuals.

Finnish composer, synthesizer inventor and futurologist Erkki Kurenniemi started recording his life in 1970 and continued until his death in 2017.

First he used audio cassettes and paper, then a video camcorder, and over the decades every form of digital recording available. Supposedly he also obsessively stored everyday items with which he had interacted.

His projection was that this mass of digital and physical data could be used to create a digital clone of him by the year 2048.

An article in Finnish about his lifelong recording:

You have got to be kidding me. I thought I had kicked my Factorio habit.
No, it's stronger than that because of the context; by default "Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it!" == "K", but when it's a response to complaints about your interactions with the community it's more like a middle finger.

That argument isn't good enough. And I agree with you it really sucks in the usa. And maybe we all need to be talking to everyone else about fixing that. I'm down for that conversation anytime any day.

It is profoundly irresponsible to basically encourage people to self-diagnose. It's going to kill a number of them too. That's no joke.
Have you at least skimmed the article? It is not about prescription drugs.
if you like to read fiction related to this topic, i can recommend the Parable or Earthseed series by Octavia E. Butler, in particular the second book 'Parable of the Talents'

it describes a world where the national governments have lost control and people are fighting for resources.

it's a rather dystopian view, but it points out that in addition to living off the grid, which is difficult enough you will have to face others who want what you have.

only law and order and a strong community can protect you from that.
Space Exploration is a fantastic mod and I thought it was great news when the company hired the developer. Excited to see the result is pretty much exactly what I hoped for! I appreciate the dev's comments about the differences, how the new Space Age will be accessible to more players.

I have a bridge to sell you.
"Most countries" is an understatement. Advertising prescription drugs to the public is allowed in exactly two countries – New Zealand and USA.
While I agree with you, this blog post is talking about illegal products, like MDMA, meth, guns, etc where the avenue to purchase is Telegram.

Nope, puppies are walking within the first month of their life, a stage where human babies have barely any voluntary limb control and no apparent desire to move.

The puppies are benefitting from a different type of "learning" process of course, in having genetic instincts tuned by many generations of ancestors who had good enough genetic wiring of motor capabilities and instincts sufficiently well attuned to their environments to survive. Humans have weaker priors and reach physical and mental maturity much more slowly but ultimately achieve greater mastery of their environment by learning it from first principles or communication with other humans
(there may be a tradeoff, and of course humans are so good at protecting their young over years of infancy the early instincts aren't that important to retain)

This very much depends on the place. There are plenty of areas of Europe where groundwater at ordinary well depth is no longer potable and the community relies on a reservoir with a different source. So, if your property has an old well, all it is good for is watering a lawn or orchard, washing your car or bicycle, etc.

My perception is that "SEO" (the kinds that are more than just building a good site) has been genuinely bad for the Internet. Search is bad, near gibberish content farms all over the place, "entry level" tutorials swamp other content, contact forms fill up with rubbish spam. Bad behavior is incentivized in the name of SEO.

Absolutely, "SEO" makes me cringe.
The original article never seems to substantiate that the firearm ads are for illegal sales. You can legally sell guns lots of places, including the specific ones mentioned in the article (Glocks). ~~There is no inherent problem with advertising guns for sale on Instagram.~~ (EDIT: I stand corrected. It's against TOS. I should say there is nothing inherently illegal about advertising gun sales online).

That just wreaks of alarmism, especially when they use less informed language like "silencer" instead of "suppressor". If there was something about it that is actually illegal they should mention it.

I’d agree with the sentiment that we are not at the end of the LLM development, simply because looking at other similar things like Stable Diffusion, the community has made so many crazy enhancements in such a short amount of time. With more time to refine these enhancements I think we can close a lot of gaps.

That's an extremely limited point of view. Just because Haskell allows precise
specification does not mean it is impossible to disallow loose specification. In fact that's one of the strongest values of Haskell's type system. For example you can overconstrain your head function

head :: [Int] -> Int

But you can also just leave out the type signature all together to let the type
checker figure out the most generic type. You can have your cake and eat it too.

You can even almost do what I want with partial type signatures. Just sprinkle
it everywhere inside your constraints. GHC will automatically pick the right constraints.
At the call site you actually care for the definition you can not use the
partial type signature. The great disadvantage of this is that you now introduce
ANY constraints into your type signature and you lose your types as documentation.

But that doesn't have to be

You could have a constraint with something like `UseMonadSubset (...)` which
works almost like partial type signature. GHC should infer 0 or more of the monads
insde `UseMonadSubset` as the actuall constraint. `

Then you could write something like:

fibonacci :: UseMyMonadSubset m => m Int
fibonacci = -- Uses only MonadState (Int, Int, Int)

-- Type checks because type checker can see fibonacci ONLY uses MonadState
foo :: MonadState (Int, Int, Int) m => Int
foo = fibonacci

bar :: UseMonadSubset m => Int
bar = fibonacci

Which allows for precise specification if you want to and if you don't you let the
type checker figure it out. You may even be able to implement this as GHC type
checker plugin.
Why shouldn't they report on recreational drugs being advertised on these sites, when it's illegal but the sites take the ad money.

that heavily depends on the kind of tool and what the likelihood of you using this thing more than twice a year is. A chainsaw, drill, jetwash - very reasonable. Anything more specialiced, you're usually better off renting - especially as one could often use the instructions provided by the experts.
tcsh was the obvious choice back then, it had the best completion and interactive features by a mile, in a way it was then what fish shell is today. That said, most people I know who still use tcsh do all their scripting in bash, again rather like fish, it just has too many gotchas. In fact, I got a production bug report about two months ago because one of our commands accepts a python-like format string as an argument, and the exclamation point they wanted to use inside it is interpreted by tcsh before interpreting the surrounding quotes. Purely a cshism, but still we got pinged for it.
