This is a very good point. And I'd add that in a society tuned for the "normal" participant, I'd add that many differences create the opportunity for situational anxiety and depression that are invisible to people who are sufficiently "normal".

E.g., living in San Francisco I know plenty of queer people who came here from more queer-hostile places. Or I remember a time before I moved out here when I spent a few days in a colo. It blew my mind that so many of the people walking in and out looked and talked like me. I realized that I had spent years being the odd nerdy person out without ever quite noticing how fraught that was. My baseline level of anxiety has dropped a lot living here.

I mean, Porter-Duff only specifies coverage, and the blending modes affect the actual colors. Porter-Duff is more like the mask tool than it is the blend mode.
In the stackexchange thread they say that 12 pieces makes a circle, so each one is 30 degrees, but they also say that you can fit 13 pieces in a "circle", which means that each piece has 30-360/13=2.30 degrees tolerance.

The maximum gap should then be in theory be around 2-3 mm, if this drawing is accurate:

But in practice due to the interlocking design, see here:

there won't be any added gap (besides the ones due to the tolerance in the interlock), the pieces will deform along their length making no gaps capable of derailing at the juctions.

Unfortunately I’ll never know the full truth, halfway through the article I clicked “maybe later” to the subscribe to newsletter prompt that popped up and it jumped me back to the top of the page, which is a good signal to stop reading.
So where is this magical list of majors that will give you a job? I studied computer science and did a pretty good job at it. No job prospects out of school. It's several years later and I'm only just getting going career wise. There isn't some easy path you can take where it all just works out.

Private school vs state school? It would have cost me the same either way. What's the difference then?

still not a perfect solution, since startup costs are required, but if you've got a bike and can swing a smart trainer, it's pretty awesome.

I enjoy running, even when I do it alone. I run at a moderate pace, and it's more like a meditation and a timeout than anything else. I've heard a lot of runners saying the same. I don't think solitary exercise needs to be a chore.
An easier first step would be to force all healthcare and hospitals to be non-profit, and never enter the stock market. Shareholders want profit, and an easy way to profit on healthcare is to deny benefits.
Free market can’t decide on things it doesn’t really understand consequences of. Ideally, that’s why we would have specialists from different fields in the government to make unbiased recommendations.
Accountability? Is that attitude any different from just asking for money and refusing to explain what it’s for?

What is Turbo, you may ask? https://turbo.hotwired.dev/
I like the general idea of improving communication / transparency.

Perhaps some branch of the government could provide a registry for responsible disclosure (e.g., `https://some-branch.gov/responsible-disclosure`). As a security researcher, you could notify the government of your intent to disclose as a demonstration of due diligence and good faith.

The registry/site could return a case/reference number that could be included with the disclosure to the manufacturer. In addition to discouraging an attitude of defensive reprisal, it might also prevail a greater sense of urgency upon the manufacturer to follow through with remediations.
This type of authoritarian tracking is extremely egregious but the good news is that we are hackers and can detect the RF and other signals with detectors and disable them if we really want to. At any rate, it's a sad state of affairs.

Many offices have showers nowadays, but if you are not the only biker, then it can get complicated. I think the best approach is to not treat getting to work like it’s the final stage of the tour de france and riding leisurely with ebike if needed. If you want to go fast, do it on the way home.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is because the phones are TOO secure. Maybe they want them to use phones with built-in back-doors so they can keep an eye on them.
Sure it does. Gauges are almost all driven electrically these days and not directly connected to a speed readout mechanically. If you have a problem with the gauge cluster, it's very common to have gauges malfunction. Sometimes they read incorrectly. Sometimes they read 0. If it's one of those multifunction displays, you could just have that display "crash" too.

> Not really, when you do CD releases you have a "gold master"

This is an oversimplification. In the late 90s / early 00s when 3D APIs were more fragmented than they are today, many games had different releases built to support different GPUs. There's also versions distributed with hardware that include checks that the PC contains the specific hardware.

MC2 had separate NA and EU releases, there is at least the chance of multiple versions from internationalization.
“minors and/or living beings” is really odd phrasing if you think about it.

You can’t harm minors (whether or not they are alive) and you can’t harm living beings (regardless of their age). But it is fine to harm dead adults I guess.

Putting aside the obvious “why not just say don’t harm anyone” question, it seems to open up some silly philosophical questions around “do dead people age?” Can we use this tool to generate propaganda against an ancient mummified baby, for example?
That does suck and we should do something about that. Accountability could be part of the legal framework.

I don't understand. This seems clearly illegal to have policies like this that claim consent by sitting in the car but the "user" has never been presented the policy in a way to consent to!

Is this just a good lawsuit away from being thrown out but no one has done it? Is there some particularly fucked up legal precedent that makes this tenuously legally stable?
It's not just covered by hiring compliance people. You need to have an actual quality management system, e.g. a Jira (or whatever) instance that links from bug reports to documentation to code commit to feature deployment. Instead of just having an email address and sometimes letting the engineers know, and the engineers sometimes make a code commit with a message that makes any kind of sense, and engineers sometimes reviewing code, and engineers sometimes forgetting a region to deploy the update to.

You might think these kinds of things are table stakes, and I would agree.
Automatics suck less. Why am I constantly trying to change gears of the transmission system?
Before the JFK assassination, 'conspiracy theory' literally meant a theory about a criminal conspiracy. In the case of the JFK assassination, all theories that were counter to the official lone-wolf theory were conspiracy theories, theories about multiple people being involved in the assassination are categorically conspiracy theories while a lone-wolf theory involves no conspiring. Due to this, the term 'conspiracy theory' shifted to mean any theory that was counter to the official narrative.

For instance, all theories about 9/11 are conspiracy theories in the literal sense. Even in the official 9/11 Commission Report theory, a bunch of men conspired to hijack airplanes on the same day and crash them into buildings. That's literally a theory about a conspiracy. But in the new meaning, this is not a conspiracy theory because it's the government's officially endorsed theory.

Whether the CIA induced this verbal judo deliberately is another question. I'm inclined to think they didn't. I think it was a natural language shift, albeit one that has been harmful to society.
In Favor of Caution
Not really. I mostly hang out to try to keep folks from going way off the rails (I hope).

I don't know if further details will be helpful or applicable to you, but here's my experience:

I'm not religious. I was originally attracted to "pragmatic dharma" because it seemed to present meditation as a series of techniques. It appeared to leave out religion and superstition. The religion is there, though – it just goes largely unnamed.

For example, following a recommendation here on HN, I picked up the pragmatic dharma book, The Mind Illuminated. It removes almost all mention of religion from Buddhist meditation practices – but the author himself was a Buddhist who said in interviews that he experienced past lives in meditation.

What's more, pragmatic dharma forums seem to attract a bunch of unhealthy types: experience seekers, spiritual braggarts, and genuinely unwell people. Posters make a lot of wild claims – "I stay in [pseudo-religious meditation state] 24/7. It's so amazing. Everyone says I'm so much happier." – and other commenters prop them up and ask for advice. There are solid, sensible people on those forums as well, but picking them out of the noise is difficult, especially for newcomers.

These days, I prefer listening to Buddhist monks. At least the Theravadins I listen to focus on how meditation can make you a more understanding, compassionate human being, which I've come to see as the whole point. I know I'm going to get a serving of "past lives" and Buddhist cosmology on the side, but at least they're up front about it.

"what about the stories that were improved by military influence?"

This is the best thing I have read this week thus far, and will probably haunt me for the rest of my week.

When I was looking at "Triumph of the Will" with film classes I taught, there was a certain beauty in that horror. The story it tells is definitely less unsettling than the reality it presents.

It is ad hoc, yes, but is not the only justification.

The problem is that the private companies tracking you can be compelled (if they don't voluntarily) give up your tracking data to the government.

Stopping government tracking starts with stopping private industry tracking, as the latter is happy to give it away/sell the data or can be forced to by law.
How about a cron job that checks disk usage once per day and prints the top 3 culprits by file type if du exceeds 90%
No, where I live it is illegal to use a phone for most of those (without hands-free methods). When occasionally I need a map with directions, I load it up and set the phone in place before leaving, so I never need to touch it. Sometimes I ask my phone ("Hey Google") to read my texts if I am on a long drive. But other than that, I never use it. This is the ideal (and again, the law in many places).

I take your point in that the built-in touchscreen is no worse for people who already text and drive, but we absolutely should be aiming for better. I certainly don't want to be forced to use a touchscreen for changing the AC settings, defogging the windshield, etc...
I can't tell if you're serious or sarcastic, but a great illustration of the point. It's very possible for a disease to kill a million people in the US and for some folks to not have it kill any of their family and friends personally.

Someone who lived in NYC in March 2020 would likely have had a very different experience than someone in rural Minnesota, for example.
If you're stinky you should re-evaluate your hygiene routines, particularly how they affect your skin microbiome, as well as your diet. Stink doesn't come from your body but from the bacteria that live on your body. Paradoxically, stripping your skin of all oils and bacteria using strong soaps in the shower every morning only serves to destroy the healthy biome that keeps the "stinky" bacteria in check.

Also biking doesn't even have to work up a sweat if you don't want it to. But at the least you can ride in a shirt dedicated for exercise (quick-dry, ideally Merino wool) and switch when you get to the office.
> I think really very few people truly enjoy exercise for its own sake

This is objectively not true for me and nearly all of my friends who lift/run/swim/bike/etc.

Physical activity feels good [see OP].
> That's not a pedantic definition, that is the definition.

Right, of the term I quoted when saying you're pedantically applying the definition of a phrase I didn't even use.

I had originally said reproducible binaries, which meant to say they have the source, and can modify + recompile the damn thing. "Reproducible builds" is an industry term with a specific meaning, and I didn't say that.

Performance parity on which axis? For which use case?

Talking generally about "network performance" is approximately as useful as talking generally about "engine performance". Just like it makes no sense to compare a weed-eater engine to a locomotive diesel without talking about use case and desired outcomes, it makes no sense to compare "performance of FreeBSD network stack" and "Linux network stack" without understanding the role those systems will be playing in the network.

Depending on context, FreeBSD, Linux or various userland stacks can be a great, average, or terrible choices.
The inaccurate part of the movie is that all that stuff worked. In real life, what "ended" the pandemic was a combination of mother nature and the human willingness to accept a lost cause and move on.
How does this happen under value based care? What’s to stop providers from just gaming the metrics and gaslighting people into thinking there’s nothing that can be done for their complicated and expensive medical problems?
just wait until insurance companies demand access to your telemetry or they triple your rates.
If you divide the number of sentences trained on by the total number of sentences in its corpora, the number for most of the top LLMs will be far closer to ~1 than any other integer.

> Also Meta team with llama show that simply training more, more tokens, continues to reduce loss.

Can you source the specific claim you are talking about? More tokens to me generally will mean new tokens unless you are specifying.

training longer can lead to over-fitting"

Carplay &co are good right now, but as someone that hangs on to cars for a long time, the trouble is that phones have a much faster lifecycle than a car, and are pretty unlikely to continue to work as smoothly as they do 20 years down the line.

For example, I just junked a radio with a 30 pin ipod connector. It was great and smooth in its day, but now, not so much.

Could be we'll get lucky and the phones of 2043 will work with the cars of 2023, but I think it's more likely that the car will work and the infotainment stack will be a half-functional ghost mall of tech in the middle of the car
Something we need to consider when talking about depression is that it varies widely in intensity and the boundaries are vague because it's all self reported. This makes it very hard to talk about. Sometimes you will hear "just get off your ass and do something" to which someone may reply "it doesn't work like that." Well, both of these people are right. It depends on the specific instantiation of the things we call depression.

A timer to turn on an oven has been a thing for 25 years or more, probably there were clockwork ones before that. So it is down to very fine control on timing, or not turning the oven on, say, if you're in a traffic jam.

I'd expect the network connection to go down and the oven not to turn on at least as often as 10 minute makes an operable difference.
Insane? Really? There is nothing wrong with defending your language and the artistic industry. They've got also some similar quotas for the song in French on the radio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toubon_Law.
I played with OpenCyc once. It was quite hard to use because you had to learn things like CycL and I couldn't get their natural language processing module to work.

The knowledge base was impressively huge but it also took a lot of work to learn because at the lower levels it was extremely abstract. A lot of the assertions in the KB were establishing very low level stuff that only made sense if you were really into abstract logic or philosophy.

They made bold claims on their website for what it could do, but I could never reproduce them. There was supposedly a more advanced version called ResearchCyc though, which I didn't have access to.
great links, thank you!

I agree. There are ways not to slide down the slippery slope. Open-sourcing the project at step 2 sidesteps the whole thing. Or being transparent and realistic about practical limitations.

But in large part it is the psychology of being an "ML/AI startup" that is the trap — thinking SaaS is about the software and not about the service. Then everything else is secondary to the holy algorithm. Manual human labor is seen as just a stopgap measure until the automation is perfected, and to acknowledge that at all is tantamount to admitting imperfection, and thus failure.

Theranos is an excellent non-software example. Presumably at some point in her life, Holmes really did want to make blood tests more convenient for patients. But Theranos' eventual obsession with the Edison device made them willing to sacrifice more and more on its altar — money, credibility, patients' safety — until it destroyed them utterly.

Meat is the most nutritious food you can eat, as it contains all the nutrients you need. There isn't any other food which compares to meat in that regard (with the exception of eggs).
It really isn’t, but I understand that you’re a died-in-the-wool Tory and you won’t see the state criticised. I knew a judge who was pressured to put politics before justice and refused, and he was destroyed for doing so, and a speechwriter for a recent prime minister who was threatened with dire consequences if he leaked a story which would have made said prime minister subject to a criminal investigation (not Johnson!), and decided to stay stumme as a result.

But you go on believing that conservatives can do no wrong.

Source? Maybe several epochs on some very small subsets, but my strong impression was that it was 1 epoch in the pre-training run for pretty much all of the top LLMs.
