This whole discussion highlights the point that timezones etc. are relatively arbitrary.
Often the "time" isn't as important as the events that take place at a given time.

Let's use the actual numbers [1] instead of a statement from 5 years ago that things are "about the same" as 40 years before.

The average hourly wage for Production and Nonsupervisory Employees in the highest month of 1970 was $3.50, or $26.88 in current dollars. The current average hourly wage is $28.96.

Thus, real wages are higher today than they were in 1970.

They're close, but it's not those who are incompetent who tend toward cynicism as a defense against being taken advantage of. It's those who feel powerless, and have a high level of vigilance against further perceived losses of agency. This is fueled by the same psychological mechanisms as loss aversion, but what is perceived to be at risk of loss is not finances or resources, but rather the ability to express one's own will (the most precious resource of all).

This very principal is behind the rise of conspiracy theories in times of upheaval and uncertainty throughout history, including during the pandemic.
If the state can impose tough restrictions on a right, including criminal and age limitations for one enumerated constitutional right (the second) why can't it impose it for the first?
Can you share more about what makes it awkward?

Sometimes it’s just that people don’t know the template for responding. Like, for example just saying “thank you” and smile, or heart reacji if on slack or something.

But I don’t want to assume in your case.
It’s crazy. How is it any different than the CCP luring Americans over to China and throwing them in prison for posting distasteful content online?

The CCP and the FBI have different values, but it’s entirely the same concept.
This is a good lecture. It gets at the heart of the matter.

The best use-case I've heard is adversarial companies who need to cooperate on a project and share data. However, in real life, they don't need blockchains because if a party can't be trusted to share data then they don't meet the minimum requirements to participate in the project.

Real life has incentives that mitigate the need for blockchains to the degree that the overhead isn't worth it.

It's a solution in search of a problem.
Also consider reading that caste violence is also directed at upper castes from lower castes. It is not a one sided thing. Left-leaning ruling party politicians in a state have shamefully called for a brahmin (upper caste) genocide.

Same person, we rebranded.
I am rapidly losing all faith in "science" as it is currently practiced. Between the overwhelming bias for only producing "correct" findings and outright fraud for professional advancement, and the coverup that frequently occurs in both cases, I think the level to which good intentions are presumed and trust is vested is neither deserved nor constructive. We are at a point that to me seems familiar as in many other industries when we empowered financial and technical agencies to self-certify only leading to unbelievably brazen deception with disastrous outcomes.

It is a shame to see so much potential wasted while years tick by that we will never get back.

Think of the resources wasted. It'd be cool if there was a publically trustable technology where source shipped with like a known computable hash combination of triplet platform, flags, etc. and then the artifacts could be pulled and only recompiled if needed?
As a native born American (USA) and long time lover of al things space, I've always been of the opinion that ISRO really punches above their weight. You look at their success and resources vs Roscosmos and it is crazy. India has built a really good native launch capability for overall very affordable prices totally independently. It speaks extremely highly of the engineering and materials scientists in that program.

There's no need for this to be bittersweet. Use this as fuel to show that India can do better in other areas if they focus on it. Take the win :)

Yes. HL2 is how Axel became known to gamers, but it's nearly irrelevant. He also created the most popular open source malware framework (Agobot) in existence at the time. Millions of systems were enlisted in botnets based on variants of his work (which were usually just recompilations with IRC C&C server changes). He didn't typically talk about running a botnet, but many of the other minor project collaborators and IRC regulars did.

I've found Rosetta works really well with VMs using Apple's Virtualisation framework, to the point that I've not had any issues building niche proprietary x86-only C++ libraries like network card drivers. The only annoyance was spoofing uname -m and/or setting architecture build flags everywhere since build systems will try to target arm64, but actually getting things to build was far less painful than I thought it would be. I'm thoroughly impressed.

I think they're all just super useful to have in a world where 2/3rds consists of water even if you predominantly live on the land. Note that there is no driving force behind any of this other than dumb selection and mutation and that it would be very strange to first lose all this stuff upon emerging from the sea but still living predominantly in coastal areas (as we still do today!) and then to re-acquire those traits over a relatively short period of time because suddenly they are pre-requisites for survival. Much easier to take them along for the ride where they are handy all the time, as evidenced by many other mammals that have all of these (and sometimes more).

But you're right in that in theory it could have happened and like any essentially unfalsifiable theory it will likely remain that way.

It's funny because depending on which field we're looking at I probably have my own 'aquatic apes' based on how solid I think a particular theory is but without dedicating a lifetime to it I'll just take the easy way out and align with the largest body of scientists until there is hard proof to the contrary. But in some fields the theories are known to be broken and then such discussions get a lot more interesting.

Like in Nova Scotia/PEI. Technically there are two area codes, but no one actually knows what the second one is.

The other one is undesirable because if people see it they often won't even answer, assuming it's scam or such. That's how unknown it still is

902 was introduced in 1947, making it one of the first area codes used in Canada and it's been completely ingrained in the region since then. The second was only introduced in 2014.

I've known "free zoners" who have their own E-meters.

See this write-up

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Secrets/E-Meter/Mark-VII/

and note that modern E-meters contain a microprocessor that samples what the meter is reading and sends it out a serial port so an E-Meter can be monitored remotely.

It's quite an interesting device which is designed to be as mind boggling as possible. I found out long after I left that the meter in an E-Meter is a special underdamped meter that was manufactured at a factory near the airport in my hometown of Manchester, NH [1] (not far from where Origin games had a dev office in the Ultima era); one consequence of that is that if something changes the meter will bob back and forth a long time so you are seeing an unholy combination of the input signal plus the behavior of the needle. The galvanic skin response that it measures is both real and unreliable, it really will respond to your emotions but it will also sometimes respond for no obvious reason. With the doctrine of "the meter is always right" this is a recipe for seriously gaslighting people. I borrowed one from a friend years ago and could not make sense of what it did at all. (For somebody anxious I'm actually really good at biofeedback)

> 1: Platforms die with a whimper, not a bang. Digg, the precursor to Reddit, is still around today, it's just not relevant. You can even visit MySpace right now if you'd like, but you won't. Twitter/X may still be operational, but its status as the internet's public square has long since been lost (not that it ever deserved it).

> 2: Twitter and Reddit may have only lost a few million users to Mastodon and Lemmy so far, but these are nation-sized numbers, comparable to what Scandinavia is to the United States of America. The incumbents have allowed the fediverse to reach critical mass. It's only gonna get bigger, but it already works well enough that I've no need for any other social network. It's nicer here.

Another critical point is that users who jumped ship are probably disproportionately power users and content creators, which make up a tiny fraction of Reddit's population.

But on the contrary, less technical communities are having much more difficulty migrating than, say, /r/Rust, and seem to be migrating to Discord instead.

If you go with a receiver which will do Atmos/TrueHD etc but won't pass 4K (or won't pass newer formats eg Dolby Vision/HDR10+/etc) then the easiest route is to go with a splitter which allows you to send the audio to the receiver separately. You need to be careful to get one which won't downgrade the signal to "lowest common denominator". You can also find splitters which will will convert ARC/eARC audio into a standard HDMI signal if you have a TV which supports ARC/eARC but your receiver doesn't.

The only real downside of this is you won't see any OSD information from the receiver when using the splitter.
I'm going to try to plead my case for images generated using sophisticated prompt engineering to be copyrightable. For example, at the point that I've written a prompt with 20 tags, 10 negative prompt tags, some loras, custom weights, embeddings merges, and prompt editing, I'm now writing what is effectively a "program", which should be copyrightable and so should its outputs.

It's total BS to me that a book of midjourney generated images is itself copyrightable because a human arranged the book together, but that a highly sophisticated prompt involving custom tooling wouldn't be.

If nothing else, my comments should show the US Patent Office how deep the rabbit-hole goes with just how interpolatable everything is with everything else.
Yeah louie.ai query generation internals feel more like classic program synthesis, where's it's more about staged compilation, iterative refinement, etc, and we use gpt3/gpt4 for each stage rather than a traditional solver. "Which tables would help this query, which parts should go to text search vs vector search, ...", and we iteratively rewrite and pass along until we reconstitute.

At the same time, we're also moving to make a lot more of that process AI controlled, just across LLM calls (e.g., LLM-dictated ones), so it's a funny maturity process.
Yeah, these made sense in 1925, when we produced just a fraction of what we produce today. But at this point maybe we should just start tearing out the ones that aren't providing any other valuable service and budget for solar & wind to replace their output.

They may by safer but as long as there are still humans driving I believe they are not capable of managing perplexing states that humans have no problems dealing with.

To be clear, I like the content displayed here; it's just that the way they chose to move between views of the CAT scan are a little annoying to me.

The NYPD is a profoundly overfunded police agency[1], as these kinds of technical hijinks indicate. If there are noise complaints, why aren't they knocking on doors?

We did that, but the old one didn't have a +30 second button and just had little sticky pads on every button, since you had to use numbers, which didn't make it clear what was what. And some things have 9 at the top, others put it at the bottom, so it's not that hard to forget.

Either way, a physical dial was much easier to use than trying to remember the layout of the number pad, which button is power/cancel/etc.

> I have my doubts about being a serious engineering profession.

It's not. If it were, vaguely talented amateurs wouldn't run circles around people with degrees.

But to get it to that level, we'd have to figure out 1. how to teach it, and 2. how to measure it.

1 is probably more important, but you can't really have a licensed profession when the students being educated don't actually know how to do the job that you're licensing. You would have to set the standards so low that it would be a useless license.

In case this sounds like a boring administrative/red tape thing:

> Some of Erlanger’s residents were so unskilled that the hospital’s own doctors said in secretly recorded conversations that they were concerned about leaving them alone in operating rooms. One said he was “moderately scared” of the hospital’s fourth-year residents, and called two others “terrifying.” Another surgeon said he trusted only about one-third of a recent crop of trainees.

> “Resident 3 is scarier,” Dr. Dirk Kiner, an Erlanger orthopedist, told a colleague, according to the lawsuit. “He’s got this spasmodic index finger. You know, he makes an incision, and it’s just, oh my God, stop.”

Talk about perverse incentives. These hospitals are putting patients at risk through double booked surgeons and charging through the nose for it. It's absolutely staggering.

That doesn't mean the stakes are higher. It means the potential upsides are higher.

The potential downsides are also much lower (a bad website will rarely kill someone).

The combination of these two incentivize bringing in as many people as possible, even if standards suffer because there's almost no downside (civilizationally speaking, companies do occasionally lose quite a bit of money).
