I personally think this project is awesome. Everyone visits Europe, and asks why can’t we have beautiful walkable cities here, and the reason we can’t is because of regressive, land-use laws, poor car-centric legislation, and many shyster developers. This place is going to be so desirable that it will likely be more expensive to live there than San Francisco. What would really impress me is if they can work with public officials to create a rail line connecting this place to San Francisco. They would almost have to to keep trucks out of the city.

You can do this already today. Many live distros have the option to copy the OS to a ramdisk in the initrd.
Part of this modern sickness is having an OS that requires regular updates of the apps that run on it.
You see these "bridges to nowhere" in analogous places in a lot of the midwest. I think the city planner nailed it - it was built in anticipation of development. I.e., back in the 60's they made guesses about growth and some of those guesses were wrong. There are probably many others, but these catch our attention because they're 50 feet up in the air.
Can you point me in the general direction where I might be able to find some similar machines? EBay? I’m needing to build out a small scrapyard server farm and I have basically unlimited solar energy available so I don’t mind using last-gen stuff.

I don't know if it's the guy's case, however, there are people who actually delight themselves in writing complex sentences comparable to a mathematician's delight in doing mathematics or a painter's artistry on canvas.

I'm noticing it's mainly an US-centric trend to have negative feelings towards good and complex writing.
If that were really the case, I think it could be a valid finding. But the question as given just demonstrates that by default, people assume that answer choices for a question are mutually exclusive.

In the question, the answer choices were presented as if they were mutually exclusive, when really one was a subset of the other.

The "star"-section of the US flag:

```
// Draw 50 stars: 9 rows of alternating 6 or 5 stars

ctx.fillStyle = white;

for (let row = 0; row < 9; row++) {

for (let col = 0; col < (row % 2 === 0 ? 6 : 5); col++) {

let x = 16 + col \* 32 + (row % 2) \* 16;

let y = 16 + row \* 32;

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.arc(x, y, 4, 0, Math.PI \* 2);

ctx.fill();

}

}

}

Effectively drawing circles and the rectangle which contains them is rotated right by 90° so that a section of the blue rectangle is not covered and the dots are partially above the red stripes.

At least when I input it into ChatGPT with GPT-4, that's the result.

And the rendered solution by the site has the stars offset so that some are not fully in the blue rectangle. Accurately is something different.

Hang on. The MnDot report says "Average Daily Traffic:151,000". But. That must be the car traffic under the bridge - surely 151K people don't walk across it each day. And if so, why would you measure that? It's like measuring how much water flows under the Golden Gate bridge and ignoring how many cars go over it.

We are just so car focused it influences everything and we don't notice

You're using a lot of words to make a slippery slope argument. It requires a lot more defense than your providing. From my point of view, the slope if anything points in the other direction.

What you are arguing for leads to totalitarianism. Here's how:

* We decide as a society that private peering decisions are unacceptable and the government must regulate them. It starts innocent enough; we pass a law that says if you try to de-peer for reasons of your corporate policy were no law was broken, as is the case here, you can't.

* In so doing, we've now opened the floodgates on government, not private corporations and organizations, controlling the shape of the internet

* A subsequent government comes along and, since they already have the authority to regulate peering, passes the law that you must de-peer from sites that encourage cyberbullying. Nobody bats an eye because the government already regulates peering. The key difference here is that since this is now government policy not the policy of a private institution, citizens don't have somewhere else to turn; KF can't find a new host. Their speech has been actually criminalized.

Now we are on the slope with no breaks. Subsequent governments pass laws that you have to de-peer from sites that tolerate racism. The tolerate discussion of self-harm. That tolerate criticism of public health policy. That tolerate criticism of public policy in general. That tolerate criticism of the government. That tolerate criticism of politicians. And now all the gunpowder is piled in the corner waiting for a match.

The power to force a shape to the network is a double edged sword, and I trust it far more in the hands of private actors than in the hands of the government. Even if, in the hands of private actors, It can lead to tribalism and balkanization of the network. Forcing people to carry a message they don't agree with is every bit as totalitarian as forcing people into silence.
If youre an expert in political science, you know that mail in voting changes the dynamics and likelihood of election fraud. So writing an article on election fraud without mentioning it is leaving out information
The launch of Aditya-L1 by PSLV-C57 is accomplished successfully
This seems like it was funded by those that are benefiting from the status quo. Wisconsin had a very close election: it came down to one WI Supreme Court vote. Had that vote gone the other way, it would have been net +20 for Trump (then 296 to 242). The opposition party is nearly powerless to rein in the court or the legislature in Wisconsin due to gerrymandering.
Wow this works exceptionally well. This is great.

I acknowledged that it was by design. Obviously I’m aware of this fact. The design isn’t working anymore. What worked back then doesn’t now. There are major power imbalances in the political structure of the U.S. Such imbalances can never go on too long. At some point there will need to be a restructuring. That can be either by force or peacefully.

I wrote that the Senate rules need to be adjusted. Senate tradition is part of the political structure of how the U.S. government works at the federal level. It’s not just the Constitution that needs a rewrite.

Your claim that this is why the U.S. is a coast to coast nation isn’t supported by history. You need to demonstrate that in the absence of the system of government created by our founders that there wouldn’t be a coast to coast nation where the U.S. is. There are lots of examples of expansive empires being created from a collection of smaller states that don’t involve systems of governance that the U.S. has.

It's likely that the effect of the internet for coordinating people has changed whether a plebiscite can be an honest signal of the will or desire of a majority. I understand that the US 2020 election secured the set of the bare minimum of electoral college votes that would override those of all other states and swing any election, and this is precisely where the challenges to the integrity of the process have been occurring.

Where I live, the ruling party is using mass immigraiton as a means to change the makeup of the society so as to secure its tenure at the polls, as votes from poorer and less educated people who fall into a single identity group are cheaper to mobilize and secure. Democracy is an artifact of sovereign nations, and when a party in power can just replace inconvenient constituents by importing foreigners to support their policies, the legitimacy of the process is diminished and people start looking at challenges and alternatives.

The incentives for fraud in both the electoral college system and internet enabled coordination tactics like this voter replacement strategy are so immense that I don't see national borders being the same in 20 years.

Just how wasteful is it? 70-80% vs 9X% considering how little power phones use on average is insignificant…

I think both are important things to measure. You are describing a situation where there is a human in the loop. This test measures how reliable GPT-4 is when there isn’t a human in the loop. Right now, LLMs have vast scope as long as there’s a human involved, but if you can’t put a human in the loop this limits their use dramatically. The better LLMs get at getting things right without human oversight, the more things they can be used for.
I don't think asserts are really the best representation for constraints, but disabling them for release builds is entirely a question of your policy, and nothing fundamental at all - leave them on if you like. The real issue here with your early return rather than a panic, is what the semantics are for the caller.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesselancaster/
Email: JesseLancaster@gmail.com

I'm an experienced small company CTO, though I've worked at a director level in larger organizations. I'm still super hands on, especially in the data engineering space, but with back end in general.

I have a history of building great products with small teams. For example the data platform we built at Terapeak (see my LinkedIn profile) powers much of eBay seller price analytics today.

A lot of my consulting work in the last few years is helping companies that have PMF but are struggling to scale their product or their engineering team move faster.

I good at thinking out of the box, being customer focused in terms of my product thinking and knowing when to invest in areas of code (and when not to).

My startup isn't going to make it, and I'm looking to join a company that has already nailed product market fit. Small large is okay, as long as the focus is on building value rather than meetings and politics. I would be willing to consider IC roles or management roles, I'm trying to be open to the universe about what is next.

I'm extra interested in healthcare / biotech, though I know those are usually US only for legal reasons. Also energy startups.

I'm not interested in Adtech or social media.

Anything else I'm open to.

I'm looking for 300-400k CAD depending on the role and other benefits (which is about 225-300k USD).

These all have simple counterfactuals in other countries, like EU countries. The idea that violence won't decrease if we ban guns is completely disproven, empirically.
Well… I think that there are some real threats with chargers and usb cables and it’s not urban legend.
Have a look at O.MG and badUSB cables over at https://mg.lol

I agree that it’s not something widespread and we’re not exposed to a real and immediate danger, since these kind of devices are used in targeted attacks, but nevertheless the technology for such things exist.
This was my first thought too.

I suspect lucky timing that a significant enough sequel came out with huge interest close enough to the trailer site being available drove people to it.

It was the first time I remember people going to see a movie specifically to watch the trailer more than the whatever movie it was that had the trailer. Then the first time people could actually watch trailers at will. Rental VHS/DVD had trailers but always a gamble which you’d get, and they had to be returned. For the first time you could download and rewatch it over and over.

Even with a lot of very hardcore WindowsForLife friends they all went to get QuickTime to watch the trailer.

Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, but thought it might be interesting for you folks who do technical and scientific work:

McCarthy's perspective on language is interesting in this regard: dreams being a sort of pre-language mind for operating an animal without the kind of consciousness that developed in us quite some time ago. That mind remains, it is distrustful of the language virus that took over, but it tries to help.

It's an interesting thought.
Also disagree, not only is volunteering time and knowledge not usually something that costs much, there are a number of reasons it's a good idea for someone looking for work. Folks looking for work may have time, it can create new connections they wouldn't have made otherwise, keeps skills sharp and even can help learn new skills that could open doors to other opportunities that didn't exist prior. Not to mention something that can fill in a gap in a resume/cv.

And not everyone reading these threads is between jobs either, and so it could be an opportunity for fully employed folks to give back as well. And from a different aspect, volunteering may allow someone to be able to give back when they may not have the means to do so in other ways.
This is such a fascinating aspect of the brain. It feels as if there is some kind of "latent/subconscious" thinking involved and the 'conscious' thought only rises to the surface when the trigger arises.

I've had a similar feelings of awe about our own brain during dreams at times. I could talk in a different language, come up with tunes I have never heard before, create visual art in my head etc.

The same extends to some of.my psychedelic trips. There could be a possible connection here.

Would love to see more BCI experiments on both fronts.
I think by "data transfer" they mean photos/file transfer, or itunes backup/sync on ios. If you want to really get nitpicky about it, usb power negotiation counts as "data transfer".

Nothing like exercise, good sleep, and a good diet for healthspan and longevity. Those are a state of mind and mostly available to anyone. Money could buy a good personal trainer, chef and a quiet, dark sleeping room, but you still have to want it and do it. No purchaseable intervention can build muscle and stability. Some pills can help with memory though at least. And money can buy a decent doctor. Vampiring blood from the young is a possible financial advantage.
> I find these clauses at odds with one another in that the Failure to Report clause created a tangible duty upon the provider, which, were I a judge, would satisfy me that the provider was, in fact, deputized.

Absolutely not. That section requires a report under the circumstances where a provider has obtained “actual knowledge of facts and circumstances” of an “apparent violation” of various code sections (child porn among others). It doesn’t place on the provider the burden of seeking out that knowledge. In other words, it covers the cases where, for example, a provider receives a report that they are hosting a child porn video and are pointed to the link to it. Providers can’t jam their fingers in their ears and shout LALALA when they’re told they’re hosting (or whatever) CSAM and given the evidence to support it. They don’t have to do anything at all to proactively find it and report it, however.

Think of it like this. I, as a high school, teacher, am a mandated reporter of child abuse. It’s literally a crime (a misdemeanor) for me not to report suspected child abuse. But I don’t have to go out and suss out whether any of my students are being abused. That doesn’t make me a state actor for 4th Amendment purposes (although I am otherwise, because I am a public school teacher, but that’s a different issue).
The carriers are paid money that deliver calls from peer networks regardless of whether you want them. If they turn a blind eye to spam, they make more profit whereas fighting it costs them money and they have no downside unless it’s so bad that you cancel your phone service entirely.

This is over-simplified because there are multiple layers of companies and when VOIP was introduced they decided not to spend money validating identity and are now clumsily bolting it on with things like STIR/SHAKEN, but it’s basically a classic negative externality where the costs we born by parties other than the ones making the decisions.

You can see the difference in European countries where the sender pays for the call/message and spam is far less of a problem because it costs too much to spew messages with a successful sale rate well under 1%.
That's crazy. It basically cuts off Russian tourism.
The phrase certainly evokes images of the Springfield Tire Fire in The Simpsons.

That said, this plant isn't a modern waste-to-energy plant. It's a waste coal plant burning waste coal.[0] Or, put another way, it's a remarkably less-efficient coal plant. A quick search suggests that it's likely just a conventional steam boiler system,[1] rather than a fluidized bed combustion facility or something similar that might be...slightly less terrible. In any case, the facility in question is not going to generate the sort of temperatures you'd see in waste-to-fuel plants. Nor would I expect them to invest the money needed to install equivalent pollution controls given that the plant was already struggling when they bought it.

It's just personal curiosity, but I'd love to see the internal discussions from back when they bought the plant in 2021. What kind of bitcoin mining company looks at the amount of electricity they use use and says "we should buy a struggling waste coal power plant that's less efficient than a regular coal plant, produces greater amounts of air pollution, leaves a massive amount of waste ash that still needs disposed of, will still have a higher cost per kWh produced compared to alternatives, and to top it all off, will have some fuel supply issues that require us to try and get regulatory approval to burn tires to make it all work"?

Maybe there's an odd confluence of circumstances where the math worked out. I don't know. But I'm really curious what they'd be.
