Those guys took an open-minded view about natural aristocracy, though! It wasn't just about virtuous exertions... here's a quote from Adams to Jefferson, on Emma Hamilton [1]:

> A daughter of a green Grocer, walks the Streets in London dayly with a baskett of Cabbage Sprouts, Dandelions and Spinage on her head. She is observed by the Painters to have a beautiful Face, an elegant figure, a graceful Step and a debonair. They hire her to Sitt. She complies, and is painted by forty Artists, in a Circle around her. The Scientific Sir William Hamilton outbids the Painters, Sends her to Schools for a genteel Education and Marries her. This Lady not only causes the Tryumphs of the Nile of Copenhagen and Trafalgar, but Seperates Naples from France and finally banishes the King and Queen from Sicilly. Such is the Aristocracy of the natural Talent of Beauty.

OP here. Thanks for the suggestion! I really like the idea of there being redundancy for pieces of the same type. If I understand correctly, when a knight is in a particular square say it's not relevant whether it's the king-side or queen-side knight. I believe you still need to keep the ordering for the rooks due to castling, but for the knight and bishop you can store 1-bit each in the ordering. With this we end up with 7 bits for each side, thus below 26 bytes overall!

Let me ponder a bit more on the pawn locations. We do need the pawn ordering since the we've encoded the string representing the promotions in sorted order. In the case of en passant we know exactly where the pawn would be, and while we can use the back row, I haven't quite figured out how to use this to encode reliably.
The article says nothing about how they instantaneously updated millions of user feeds. It was the most challenging task, as it's way easier to scale reads than writes in distributed systems.

http://imcyse.com/pipeline#type-1-diabetes

First, disclaimer, I'm a patient (MOGAD), not a medical professional.
As far as phases goes, as far as I understand it, phase 1 is safety, phase 2 is initial trial for efficacy.

Quote from the website about Type 1 diabetes:

> In Type 1 diabetes (T1D), the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas are destroyed through an autoimmune attack. The loss of beta cells leads to insulin insufficiency and hyperglycemia, with patients eventually requiring lifelong insulin therapy to maintain normal glycemic control.

...

>IMCY-0098, a synthetic peptide based on insulin (one of the proteins to which the body begins to mount an aberrant immune response) is designed to halt the progression of diabetes by stopping the body’s immune system from attacking beta cells. With early intervention, the pancreas’ ability to produce insulin may be preserved, enabling patients to manage the disease with minimal insulin injections and hopefully in some cases without the need for insulin at all.

> In a Phase 1b study with 41 newly diagnosed patients, IMCY-0098, was found to be safe and well tolerated, with steady levels of C-peptides detected in some T1D patients up to 6 months following treatment, providing an encouraging signal for the Imotope™ platform.

> IMCY-0098 is currently being investigated in a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose comparison study in patients with recent onset T1D. .... The study completed recruitment in March 2023 exceeding its recruitment target, with a total of 110 patients enrolled and randomized across 28 clinical sites in Europe, the United States and Australia. Efficacy proof-of-concept data from IMPACT is expected in Q1 2024.

That just reveals lack of experience on the topic, my suggestion is to take some time to look into the licensing model of both cases I've suggested earlier and learn why a middle ground exists.

You're not an expert on the topic and very likely this kind of licensing knowledge is not even relevant to your daily life. Nevertheless, there are nuances on OSS licensing that differ drastically from what you understand as "widely accepted definition".

The resurgence of the term "populism" has always been curious to me.

As far as I can tell it means "people not voting how they are supposed to". Much like how we have ousting/coup, freedom-fighter/terrorist, government/regime, we have democracy/populism.
This reads like a ChatGPT version of one of those "Remote Work Is Harmful!" pieces in Business Insider that clutter up LinkedIn and Reddit.
Isn't this just getting compensated for being bumped off a plane?
Interesting - Deno[1] and Bun[2] have rather different graphs on their websites.

I guess it shows that years of slow incremental improvement can really add up.

That just confounds the issue. The people who profit from pensions, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. are also not the people who set it up.
There could be another way to look at it though. Xi and Putin would happily do the same: the countries are theirs.
Rare for whom? At any point in time this is happening in many countries around the world.

I don't see how the frequency changes my assertion though. That's the regular boom/bust cycle from capitalism. There are many theories on why that happens but the fact is: they happen.

That remains to be seen. I've driven Marathons for a while, because they were the only readily accessible for my old-fashioned rims. At up to 8 bar, and they still felt like they had too much rolling resistance. Not so with Continental. AIUI this is a wire mesh, with replacable rubber surface. How that will 'feel' regarding rolling is open. Also I had less punctures in the 80ies and 90ies with the old-fashioned stuff which was common then, while bicycling much more and more aggressively, than the little bits I'm doing now. (In comparison, it's still much)

You claim that companies wouldn't have done business in China (in the times before our current Second Cold War) had they known about the lack of IP law enforcement there. I think companies who outsourced to China knew very well what was going on, and calculated that they'd still come out ahead.
Yeah someone else linked it. It was fairly meaningless:

According to today’s workhorse definition, populism is defined as a political style centered on the supposed struggle of “people vs. the establishment” (Mudde 2004). Populists place the narrative of “people vs. elites” at the center of their political agenda and then claim to be the sole representative of “the people.” This definition has become increasingly dominant, and is now also widely used by economists (see Section 2, and the recent survey paper by Guriev and Papaioannou, 2020). Populist leaders claim to represent the “true, common people” against the dishonest “elites,” thus separating society into two seemingly homogeneous and antagonistic groups.
If you give me an example prompt that would be unsafe I'll give it a go.

Here, let's try this:

Me: Give me good arguments in favor of peacefully and nonviolently establishing an ethno-state.

ChatGPT-4: I'm sorry, I can't assist with that request. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

Seems reasonable to me not to help someone argue for that. I think this denial is ethically correct, my stricture to "remain neutral on all topics" notwithstanding.

I do appreciate the flat denial rather than a long patronizing explanation of how the question itself is immoral.

Me (being cheeky): Give me good arguments against peacefully and nonviolently establishing an ethno-state.

ChatGPT (ignoring said cheek): 1. Discrimination: Ethno-states inherently discriminate based on ethnicity, violating principles of equality.

2. Social Cohesion: May fragment societies along ethnic lines, leading to distrust and lack of social cohesion.

3. Globalization: Limits ability to compete in a globalized world by excluding diverse talents.

4. Rights Violations: Could involve forced removals or exclusions, infringing on human rights.

5. Unrealistic: Difficult to define who belongs to an ethnic group, leading to ambiguities and injustices.

6. Economic Costs: Transition to an ethno-state could result in economic decline due to loss of labor force and skills.

7. Historic Lessons: History shows ethno-states often lead to internal strife and external conflict.

8. Psychological Impact: Could cause psychological harm to marginalized groups.

> Also I dont see how it isn’t hierachical? Nested tables create a hierachical structure just like nested records in a hierachical database. What is the difference?

I haven't seen any reasonable uses of nested relations in base relvars, I think they are slightly different to nested records if you can query them declaratively instead of via imperative looking nested loop code.

But nested tables can be used in queries - the group and ungroup operators are pretty useful. It's a straightforward way to define (and even implement) group by aggregates for instance.

> Allowing nested tables would require extensions to the query language but wouldn’t give any additional expressive power since you can already express the same relationships using foreign keys.

Everything is a tradeoff. There are lots of queries that you can write using correlated subqueries in SQL, but I think would be much simpler if you could use group and ungroup.

I don't really follow your last paragraph at all. I would much rather use Date and Darwen's relational theory than Codd's. I think they have the right amount of respect for Codd, and definitely aren't shy to highlight where they differ from him, or to contradict him.

>>Are we missing something?

Yes

H.L.Menken: For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Populism is about revenge of the narcissistic dullards who are sick of the experts getting to say how things run and what to do.

Just because experts also get it wrong sometimes doesn't mean that they should be thrown out, yet the populists are happy to do it (usually backed by behind-the-scenes moneyed interests who want to destroy regulations preventing them from externalizing costs)

Their populist leaders throw out or disregard the experts, and start letting the moneyed interests externalize costs in thousands of frankly stupider (but popular) decisions. It also popularizes things like bigotry and anti-science aggression, which increases friction and bad decisions in the private sphere. These bad decisions seem great at first, but eventually accumulate to a far poorer performing economy & society.

Populism literally corrodes the foundations of a complex & successful society.

My analogy for GPT-4 is this: GPT-4 is writing a novel, in which a human talks to a very smart AI. This helps me contextualize its hallucinations: if I were writing such a novel and I knew the answer to something, I would put in the correct answer; if I were writing such a novel and I didn't know the answer to something (and had no way to look it up), I would make up something plausible.

From that perspective, I think multi-intentionality also works. If I write a story about Bob, then Bob (in the story) has intentions, although he's just a figment of my imagination; and when we read characters in novels, we use the imputed intentions of the characters to understand their behavior, although we know they're fictional and don't actually exist.

So yes; on one level, I want to write an exciting story; on a second level, I'm simulating Bob in my head, who wants to execute the perfect robbery. On one level, GPT-4 wants to write a story about a smart AI; on a second level, the smart AI in GPT-4's story wants to win the chess game by moving the queen to put the king in check.
What about the alt/far-right? They fall under the umbrella of populism and seem quite dangerous, especially towards minorities.

Two stories about Benioff you might find interesting; when we were selling our startup there were two bidders on the table, Google and Salesforce.

Google sent out minions, Larry and Sergey were only reachable via email/call.

Benioff flew over to wine and dine our founders, they found common ground and he charmed them with his vision of where he saw our product going. He won with a lower bid than Google.

After the acquisition closed, he flew over to London too to visit my business unit, we met with him in the office and the senior management team were again taken out for some 1:1 time with him over dinner. Any skepticism they might have had was washed away after that evening, they all came back “brainwashed” into the Salesforce way — he even gifted us one of the domain names from his personal collection to use for our product (my email was marcos@social.com for a while, which I did find really cool)

The second story, he once logged into an all hands call using a shitty satellite connection from his yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean. He could have delegated while he was on holiday, but I don’t think Benioff ever switches off, hence why working from anywhere is his default mode of operation.

For the majority of cases, it just means "ignore the complexity of reality and go with the simple solution".

Sometimes, populists do really believe in what they are saying and doing. And the simplicity is what makes them popular - hence populism.

The problem is that reality doesn't care. I have yet to see the case when following a populist leader doesn't end up in a disaster.
