An issue that gets brushed over is you have various possible results to an invasive diagnostic test.

1. Bad
2. Indeterminate
3. Benign
4. Nondiagnostic

One and two are simple enough. Three and four are really problematic. And they are more common that people assume. Worse people confuse the two.

Indeterminate says they have a sample that is sufficient but can't be assigned to Bad or Benign. What do you do then? If you treat some large percentage will be treated for nothing. If you don't some percentage will see progression.

Nondiagnostic says there are issues with the sample that make a determination impossible at all. What do you do then? Repeat the biopsy? What if you get another Nondiagnostic? Forget about it?

That's the problem, the overhead of living is difficult and distracting enough that the average person hasn't the time or commitment. In the past, there were fewer issues and lines were less blurred which helped waivers make up their minds.

Remember, distracting the masses isn't new, Emperor Vespasian built the Colosseum to distract Rome's population from troubles—grain shortages, etc.

That's interesting, for me, any texting (usually via whatsapp or signal) is far, far more convenient on the laptop than on the phone, so far that if I expect a longer response, I'll rather find a place to sit and pull out the laptop than try to type all of it on the phone; and for calling people also videocalls on laptop are more convenient for me than the phone, so again, if it's more than a one-minute conversation, I'll rather put down the phone and call them through the laptop.

No. In the set of integers, 1 is not two divisors if repeated. It is one divisor.

An element to set relationship is that element A is or is not in set B. So, if the set of divisors only contains 1, there is only one divisor. If 1 and 1 made two divisors, 1 and 1 and 1 and… would make infinite divisors, rendering the concept of counting divisors (i.e., the cardinal number of the set of divisors) meaningless.

M is a divisor of N if it is a number that divides N without a remainder. While divisors can be negative, they are conventionally limited to non-negative integers in primality and factoring.

If you’d wanted to dig in on negative vs. positive divisors, that quickly provides an avenue for clearer formality, but piling on 1 and saying it’s not a silly gotcha is pretty fruitless. And please don’t bother to say “you didn’t say it has only two divisors”, as that would, again, be a silly argument.

So wind back and really formalize the definition if you want: A prime number is a natural number with only two divisors in the set of natural numbers, 1 and itself.

While set theory is axiomatic, it’s not practical for me (or anyone else) to explain conventional foundations to avoid someone feeling like they need to wiggle out of a prior bad argument.

Just say “ah, okay” or stop replying and move on. Feel free to read up in Wikipedia or any other texts (or ping me privately if you’d like to discuss further), but this thread isn’t looking like it’s going to meaningfully contribute to the broader discussion. Accordingly, I’ll leave it here unless something meaningful comes up.
There's a fascinating history of how out of the four founding fathers of modern multi-dimensional mathematics, three preferred geometric algebra, and only one preferred vector and matrix algebra. The three all left academia or died young, the one dissenter lived to a ripe old age and was a vocal proponent of his preferred approach -- because it's more useful for statistics. He wasn't a physicist.

All of these weird "triple products", limitations to 3D space, etc... vanish in geometric algebra. You can use the exact same formulas in 2D space, 3D space, 4D spacetime, or 18 dimensional spaces with degenerate dimensions if you please.

There's this obstinate refusal to just admit that the maths that's ideally suited to solving statistical problems may not be ideal for physics, robotics, or optics. Instead, physicists insist on re-inventing the good stuff over and over, badly, with different names, each time.

All of the following are just geometric algebra in disguise, or various "subsets" of a geometric algebra, or a geometric algebra operation that got renamed:

- Cross products
- Triple product
- Exterior algebra
- Complex numbers
- Quaternions
- Octonions
- Pauli matrices
- Gamma matrices

And on, and on, and on.

As a random example: the way we represent 3D rotations using a vector in 3D doesn't work in 2D, because a 2D rotation vector would point out of the plane. It also doesn't work in 4D or higher dimensions. It just happens to "work" in 3D not because 3D is natural, preferred, or special, but because the broken maths happens to not be completely broken in one case due to a simple coincidence.

In geometric algebra, instead of using a vector, a bivector is used, which is like a surface patch. Notice that you can have a surface in 2D, so rotations in GA work in 2D. You can also have a surface in 3D, so rotations work in 3D. And in 4D (including both 4D space and 3+1D space-time!), and 5D... and all of rest, with the same formula!

PS: Geometric algebra also prevents gimbal lock, doesn't store redundant values, and has better numerical precision. Its transformations can be interpolated unlike (famously!) matrix transformations, which can't. In robotics or computer graphics this means everyone uses quaternions instead, which are... drumroll... the "even subset" of a geometric algebra.

I had a similar dilemma a few years ago when I moved to another country.

The round trip was about 1000€, but the one way trip about 5000€, which is just bullshit.

I would bet that as for skiplaggers, many people just get the round trip and never show up for the return one. Rather than a morally dubious choice, I ended up finding a one way ticket with Aeroflot for 700€, where I had a terrible experience that I'd rather not try again.

As a customer, I hated to be forced into this choice, especially for obviously complete nonsense like this.

> People who advocate violence over mere words should be shunned in society

And indeed fascists, notorious advocates for violence, get shunned and get punched in the face. What is the problem? Am I supposed to feel bad?

I despise this kind of idealistic view. If you're part of a hate group, be prepared to be hated and face the consequences. If you turn your cheek, you enable bullies while feeling good about yourself. Fuck them.

There would be fewer bullies if they'd risked getting sucker punched, laughed at openly and actively shamed.
Much of what you say is true, but that won't change people's lives right now, because of the needs of children and associated mortgages, etc. You point out that the need for change is upon us, but your essay on the need for change does not come conveniently packed with an explanation of what we might change to; we need a credible goal before we can begin to change our lives.

This article isn’t helpful. Most reasonable prepping resources start with, “do NOT go out and buy a bunch of survival shit. First thing: save some money. Lots of people have emergency expenses, like a doctor’s visit or car breaking down, that they can’t afford”.

From there prepping is really about creating a “grid buffer” and getting as many people around you to do that same so if the shit does hit the fan, everybody isn’t immediately out trying to loot each other.

FEMA suggests having 3 days of supplies at a minimum for disasters. I personally stock 30 days of provisions, but not a bunch of MREs. Instead it’s stuff we actually eat, but I buy it in bulk. If the grocery stores shut down for 30 days, I’d start drawing down this buffer and hope to hell that the supply chain opens up again in some capacity.

Same for water, waste, etc. Pick a buffer that makes sense for your environment and build as much redundancy as you can into it without going overboard.

I’ve never seen a sane prepping guide suggest that people should “go it alone” without access to external resources. In fact they suggest the opposite: build redundant networks of people and resources around you in case the primary is disrupted.
I have seen many cases where senior union members, who often compose the leadership of the union, will strike deals that benefit older union members over younger union members.

See all the government employee pension plans with tier benefits where older employees in older tiers have higher benefits than younger employees. Or they will accept underfunding for a couple decades since the underfunding will not affect benefits paid during their lifetime.

I still don’t understand why a laptop wouldn’t work for most of those use cases if you already are carrying one. Sure it’s a bit tedious to use a huge laptop on a plane but a 13” laptop will fit on your lap and in your bag nearly as easily as a 10” tablet.
> Who is maintaining OpenTF? Is there enough firepower behind the project?

> So far, four companies pledged the equivalent of 14 full-time engineers (FTEs) to the OpenTF initiative. We expect this number to at least double in the following few weeks. To give you some perspective, Terraform was effectively maintained by about 5 FTEs from HashiCorp in the last 2 years. If you don’t believe us, look at their repository.

it depends how much you're willing to spend.

You can get a H100 (80GB) for around 28-30k$, an A100 (40GB) for around 6-7k$, a 4090 (24GB) for 1.5-2k$.

You can build a normal pc with a 4090, otherwise you're in datacenter territory.

You can bundle up more GPUs.

You can decrease the precision of your models to get them to run on cards with less RAM.

FWIW, it is easier to just not use Rust as the only serious build system I've had to work with that doesn't support this correctly is Cargo; and like, the mental model you are describing causes all kinds of other problems as it implies that if your build tooling simply can't run on a system old enough that you have to drop support for that system... people who are compiling serious apps (think Chrome or Ubuntu itself) and managing backports aren't sitting around with their CI systems running some old version of CentOS or Debian and praying their build tools continue to run on them: they just cross-compile.

And like, that Cargo doesn't handle this correctly is kind of silly as one of the engineers from BuildRoot seriously broke his back for a year jumping through hoops with them to come up with a compromise and satisfy all of their roadblocks (the Cargo people would rather spend hours talking with people about a patch than spend a few minutes touching it themselves... it was honestly demoralizing, but I've seen the same thing from projects like Flutter, so I think that it is just the reviewer / developer power dynamic that big tech taught a bunch of people) and the code is even in Cargo and yet is rotting in nightly.

(Meanwhile, I often see people bemoan how large projects aren't picking up Rust and using it to slowly cannibalize the C/C++ code in various projects, or are looking at distributions demanding answers for why there has been such struggle getting Rust code distributed, but the answers lie in the build model of the language and in no small part how difficult it is to use Cargo. If you just want to not care about those use cases and want to focus on self-compiled use cases--maybe you are doing web development!--that pick up all of the idiosyncrasies of the build system, then the community should just say that.)
Not similar at all. Restrictions on organ selling is because if it were legal, it would become very difficult to prevent human trafficking crimes or other cases where someone is coerced into selling their organs to some rich person who really needs a specific transplant.

I think a smart company plans for what they see the future as holding, as opposed to optimizing for what maximizing gains in the short term. And text generation programs seem to be following near to the exact same path as image generation programs did after DALL-E.

So in the future we're probably not going to see any single centralized player, but rather a wide decentralization with many options. It seems in this future, providing a 'decentralization ready' to go package that people can use and deploy for all sorts of things is far smarter than blowing through billions of dollars (and goodwill) desperately trying to become a centralized behemoth when you have no moat, no network effect, and perhaps a temporary technical advantage at best.

And while OpenAI has blown through a bunch of good will going from Open-ForSociety-AI to Closed-ForProfit-AI, Facebook has simultaneously gained a bunch of good will. What this translates to is really difficult to even imagine, but it's certainly desirable. And really I think this intangible of good will is something many modern corporations don't give enough value to, and it's hurting them - catching more flies with honey than vinegar, and all that.

Same for Minecraft (Bedrock Edition, the one written in C++, not Java). They unchecked this "allow to run on Mac" checkbox the instant it got added.

Mojang (= Microsoft) hates the idea of Minecraft Bedrock running on Mac with a burning passion. If you told me they somehow lobbied Apple to add this option to the App Store specifically because of Minecraft, I would have believed it.

Because this is at least the second time they have had a Mac port of Bedrock basically right in their hands, yet actively decided not to release it (the first one being Education Edition, which also runs on the Bedrock engine and is like 90% the same game – and they offer it for macOS, yet never bothered to release normal Minecraft the same way).

The other port might've cost them probably a few days of work (basically an asset swap, because the engine is done). This version (running on M-chips) they could've gotten for free, yet they killed it too.
Understood - but that was completely for your own gain. There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't like the mischaracterisation of HashiCorp as the baddies and this new entity as the goodies. Hashicorp just were too open and giving, and didn't have a way to profit from all the money they invested, the way you and others have profited from their investment.

In the US, you are correct. By default, it is illegal for a company to negotiate terms with any individual covered by a union, even if that individual is not a dues paying member of the union.

Technically, you are allowed negotiate, but it is illegal for the company to accept and it is not legally binding, so it is functionally equivalent to it being illegal to negotiate terms for yourself (assuming you want to negotiate, it is obviously better at preventing unilateral corporate abuse as the corporation would be on the hook for tricking you).

I believe you can negotiate if the union lets you, but by default you can not. Also, you can not unilaterally waive union representation either, even if you are not a member, so if the union does not allow it you would need to convince 50% of the covered individuals to change the rules or dissolve the union.
This isn't true, at least, it's not true of me.

Most of my viewing is Freesat, i.e. free-to-air satellite broadcasts, which I receive via a Sky box with 2Tb of storage. I scan the schedules daily, and mark what interests me for recording. Periodically I go through my recordings, and delete stuff I'm never likely to watch.

I used to have a Netflix subscription; I cancelled it when I realized that there's nothing worth watching (for me) on Netflix. Very occasionally I head to YT, but content discoverability on YT is poor.

I do care what I watch; sometimes I find that I've run out of pre-recorded shows that I'm interested in; then I stop watching. And I never have TV on "in the background".
They’re also already giving out millions of dollars in man hours in releasing and maintaining open source software, as well as lots of other much less used ML models.
