It's either terrorism or child pornography. In my country (Romania) they use to call football hooligans whenever a protest is being made on a bigger scale just so they can put us all in the same boat and have an excuse to use armed forces and disperse everyone on the basis that the event was not peacefully done.

> You may be extremely happy you block 10000 bot requests for every false positive that’s a real human. But let’s say that false positive was a potential customer that would only have paid if they weren’t blocked, and now you just saved less than a penny in server costs to lose hundreds of dollars of lifetime value from that customer.

The problem is that economics are working on the opposite way. We are not happy blocking 10000 bot requests. We are happy blocking 1 bot that would make millions of requests. This means that it sometimes ok to loose few customers who would pay hundreds of dollars per month each, if it allows us to block one bot who would cost thousands.

Bots have the bad habits of targeting the most expensive parts of the system, if there is one query that is hard/expensive/could be abused, that’s the one that is going to be targeted in priority.

I just looked up this paper from "other places". The author evolves an FPGA to discriminate between 1Khz and 10Khz square waves. I don't know that much about FPGAs, but it seems like such a task should not be possible without an external clock signal, since otherwise the output wave-form the 10Khz signal should simply be the 1Khz signal sped up 10x. Somehow, evolution learned to make use of electrical and thermal effects to accomplish the task. There were even units that were electrically separated from the rest of the device which were crucial to its functioning. Pretty amazing.
The line has always been "is it like us?", for any value of "like us" that can be assessed, so yes.

> They designed it to look like a differential backup model, but it's not.

The quote you pasted makes it sound like a reverse-differential incremental backup, like rdiff-backup implements (poorly). The most recent backup is a snapshot of the tree, restore points having changes are diffs applied cumulatively in reverse chronological order atop the current snapshot. You can simply toss out restore points starting from the tail older than the retention policy.

How is that not a differential backup model?

Your reasoning is correct. Depression is an umbrella term, which covers a range of disorders with different neurocognitive aetiologies. This is the reason why patients will respond to pharmacological interventions with distinct mechanisms of action, and not to others: dopaminergic stimulants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, glutamate receptor antagonism, catecholamine reuptake inhibition, secretion of neurotrophic factors in a particular brain region, etc. – while other patients suffer still from refractory "depression".
Again, I'd really like to know who specifically you are referring to with "the people who argue against growth never have any answers they want to elaborate on".

As freeways go in the States: (state of) Montana (drive whatever speed you want); Austin, LA, and SAC (avg speed is 90) are the same.

As strict enforcement without the leniency of warnings go: most rural areas in the States because city and county revenue heavily depends on speeding tickets and fining home owners for petty infractions.

The most essential enforcement is in the areas:

1) residential

2) residential/commercial

Another racket is HOV/toll-lanes (also known as yuppie-scofflaw lanes) because they create more traffic, create dangers of speed differentials, and penalize people by socioeconomic strata. I wished the US adopted day-fines. [1]

That probably is close to a baby whale fart, but I doubt competing systems are running at 150,000,000 W, as the above comment suggests. In their test to get 60m, they used 1.8W. 1.8 MW seems unlikely, for the same distance, with competing tech.

There's a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on here. But, that's to be expected, with how these press releases are written.

Have you considered going back to school? It sounds like you need a career reset and school is honestly a good way to do that.

Obviously, there is the financial element here but it's an investment in yourself. It's up to you to make it pay off.

I am familiar with the Emmett Tweet.

And I find that people who complain about motte and baileys are simply unable to deal with the substantive claim, and instead have to vaguely say that their opponents are lying so that they can then accept an unstated absurd premise in the first place.

They do not believe in skynet.

And people's unwillingness to accept the argument that these people do not believe in a magic sci fi , by then saying "Well actually, you totally also do believe in the AI death god, and look how horrible it is that you are pro AI death god" is merely a symptom of being unable to deal the the arguments.

And when people say that actually they are pro AI god, what they are doing is that they are making fun of you. They are laughing at you.

And they laugh at you by basically saying "Yep! We are pro AI death cult!".

The reason why this is funny is because they do not believe in the fairy tale, story book nonsense. There is no danger in being pro AI god, because AI gods aren't real.

And yes, to the person who is afraid of skynet, this might sound bad. But the pro AI people are making fun of your fear of skynet.

Ah see but the e/acc people aren't the ones doing crazy things. They are just building companies.

If they were the ones advocating for bombing datacenters then you would have a point. But they aren't doing that! They aren't going in front of congress trying to get new laws. They aren't trying to stop open source. They are just sitting around memeing and building cool stuff with tech.

>This is simply because if there was 0% unemployment, it would be impossible for businesses to hire anyone without poaching from another business. According to the law of supply and demand this would result in wages rising rapidly and without bound, much as the price of bread does during a famine, until it was impossible for businesses to make any profit.

You can tell from ideas like this that Engels never had to work a day in his life. Not everyone is going to instantly switch jobs when they hear about a slightly better one. And I thought capitalists were the ones that supposedly treats humans as mindless automatons.

If you're going to assume spherical cows like that, all businesses would already make 0 profits due to competition. In a hypothetical capitalist world with 0 unemployment, employers wouldn't poach anyone unless if they think that it would be a profitable decision. We'd have higher inflation, but that's not really the end of the world if everyone is employed. More importantly, our economy would stagnate due to not having any slack, but that's the to occur in any non-capitalism system that has 0 unemployment.
I wonder how this author will feel about that question when they're busy running from their home because some "non-conscious" ... "entity" has ... "decided" that they're a nuisance - that it's tired about hearing about its "lack of consciousness."

You’ll probably be surprised to find out there is _still_ a market for hand-forged nails. It’s not a large market, but as I understand it they behave differently in wood, due to their square profile. I think some of it is chasing authenticity, but also functional differences, which usually aren’t worth the price premium.

Gustav Wikkenhauser mentions this briefly:

> The tube provides immediately a visible record which can be kept on in detail at leisure. This record can, of course, be traced on paper or photographed with a simple camera. (…) For most of the applications it was found that direct observations were sufficient.

Wikipedia includes a passage on rapid film recording and development as an alternative (based on fluorescent CRTs):

> Even the use in radar was not widespread; looking for an even larger format system with better properties, the RAF turned to the Photographic Display Unit, a system that took a photograph of the display, rapidly processed it, and then projected it through a modified movie projector. Even with this complexity, it was faster than the skiatrons, producing a new image every 15 seconds] while the skiatron units were typically longer due to the erasure process.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiatron

(Note: provided the short clip in that film, I cannot see how the argument really adds up. I guess, the log and analysis aspect was important. Moreover, I assume, as the size of the projection exceeds what is possible with direct projection and you have to opt for intermediate steps anyway, "conventional" CRTs were preferable for any photographic process because of their contrast properties.)

For more on the Photographic Display Unit, see:

I mean, in America? Right now? Maybe not... okay definitely not but I ask the same thing about Higher-taxes for the betterment of all. No way it would happen here - the people wouldn't accept it but it does work elsewhere and the people there are, by the ways we currently measure, way happier than we are.

I think a culture that teaches the value of community and does a great deal to impart on the youth that we have the nice, comfortable lives (with arguably more freedom) is because we share those burdens and its part of our civic duty... that its patriotic to do so. I could see that working out.

Plus how crazy is it to think that cultures and societies did operate similarly in the past, pre-industrialization? Isn't this the basis for the family unit?

I mean, my friend’s $5mm new build skipped on radiant heating. (And the marble was cut mid seam!) Clearly not luxury, eh?

In this case, the cost premium is prima facie evidence of private living conditions’ luxury.
> No one can explain the qualia of the sensation and the only way to claim this thing can be experienced by non-biological objects is by a blind faith.

Sure, but the exact same argument could be made about everyone who isn't you, couldn't it? You only have two pieces of evidence to support the idea that other people feel anything:

- you feel things, other people are made of the same meat stuff as you so maybe it's a safe assumption that other people feel things in the same way you do (aside: this does pose a bit of a problem for those of us who eat animal products)

- other people tell you they feel things

Could I not say that you're relying on blind faith in assuming that I feel things just because you do?

Also, how do you know you feel things? How do you know you have free will? How do you know you're conscious? The only answer anyone can honestly give to any of those questions is "because I feel like I do".

We could say "well, it'll be magic then", but that's not particularly satisfying. To be fair you did say it's magic "for lack of a better word", however there is a better word: unknown.
Sounds like that would be market socialism actually, not capitalism, as workers work the means of production.

Everything is imperfect, but where I work crashdumps are uploaded straight to a secure vault and then deleted from the origin system. The dumps are processed, and insensitive data is extracted and published with relatively lenient access controls. Sensitive data, such as raw memory dumps, require a higher tier of permissions. In order to be eligible for that higher tier, your developer machine has to be more locked down than that of people who are not in the secure group. (You also need to have a reason to need more access.)

Given that stack traces, crash addresses, and most register contents are considered to be security insensitive, most people don't really need access to the raw dumps.

It's far from perfect, but it would be unfair to call it "security theater". It seems like a pretty decent balance in practice. Admittedly, we have the slight advantage of several hundred millions installs, so the actual bugs that are causing crashes are likely to happen quite a few times and statistical analysis will often provide better clues than diving deep into an individual crash dump.
Latin grammar is literally trivial, because it was a part of the trivium in traditional liberal arts education.

You did not study the grammar in order to use the language but to understand the structure of it. You also studied logic to understand the structure of ideas and arguments, and rhetoric to communicate them. Then you proceeded to the quadrivium to study arithmetic, geometry, music theory, and astronomy.
> I can't really think of anything I would change about the Windows/Cinnamon/KDE experience.

Windows taskbar is getting degraded over time:
-the "sleek" design means it is unclear which window is open
-autogrouping - is an antipattern for most office workers, who have few things open (say few emails, few spreadsheets). In most jobs you constantly move around them - and when they are grouped you lose time
-when you jump the hoops to disable auto grouping, windows still groups the programs by type (e.g. all folders are near each other, then all outlook emails, then all spreadsheets -> when often you would prefer to have them in the taskbar relational to the time they were opened)
-Windows 95 radiobars and shading was just visually better, often the interface is unclear
-you cannot sort the fucking control panel, seriously open it - it is sorted vertically? (it is living hell if you find a guide in English and then you try to translate to your own language, but you cannot sort easily alphabetically -> if windows wanted to have same icons in same place, then name them with numbers 1, 2, 3... but they dont want to do this, because then they would have to stay consistent and stop changing things for the sake of proving that product managers are needed)
Widely-known concepts are like black holes; they swallow anything that dares come near. A nuanced idea doesn't have to be a complicated one, in absolute terms; it is just one that happens to have enough surface-level similarities to locate it close to a different, but much more widely-publicized idea, such that it's necessary to explain the differences carefully or else the listener's mind will leap to treating them as identical. This takes even more careful and time-consuming explanation if there is a debate partner who deliberately attempts to conflate such ideas.

Not only that but poetic things are more or less by definition things that a native speaker would not say routinely (otherwise they wouldn’t be poetic). Even when they are fairly colloquial (as here), there’s got to be some twist of rhythm or aptness of phrasing that is singular and memorable.
