It's worse. First, there's a selection bias in what trials the author can get data for. Second, the 44% + 26% are just those where the author can detect problems from reading their data alone. If someone convincingly fakes their data, the author can't detect that.

Which popular GC'd language provide tools to use stack?
I think i would say that for me the biggest issue is that what little there is in well-written layers are all java. Nothing against java but I'd be looking for Go and Rust, not Java.

We did use fdb to backend more complex data structures (b+ and a kind of skiplist) and it's very cool. fdb basically presents the model of a software transactional memory and it's kind of wonderful, but it's not wonderful enough.

Another issue that I forgot to mention is that comprehensibility of keys is your own problem. Keys and values are just bytes - if you don't start day one with a shared envelope for all writers, you _will_ be in pain eventually. This can get kind of ugly if you somehow end up leaking keys that you can't identify.
I may do that, thanks for the recommendation! I loved Heroes 3 growing up and it's been a long time since I've played it. Might be a great time to boot it up again.

Not disagreeing (I'm sure you're right that he's thinking of NRT), but theoretically, you could grow stuff in an industrial wasteland without it being contaminated: you could build hydroponic facilities or some other buildings, ship clean soil in (for raised planting beds for instance), and grow things there. Just don't use the soil in the ground.

I imagine it's just not worth it to go to this trouble to grow things on contaminated former-industrial land.
I’ve mostly not had issues on desktop, what browser are you using?

It was built in a fairly indecent way, but in my testing it always was responsive so I never optimized it, since it’s just meant as a learning tool.
Show HN: Avaje Validator 1.0 - POJO validation via APT
In essence, it's a sort of hibernate validator lite. The main feature is that instead of using reflection, it generates source code via annotation processing that will run constraint checks. I've been working on it for a while and finally released 1.0.

You need to read my comment in response to the person I commented on, not the whole post itself. Their comment was in relation to how Youtube monetizes videos in general, not in relation to Russell and my comment was in relation to monetisation in general, not in relation to Russell.

However, I do agree with your comment. If the videos cause harm them nobody should be profiting from them and realistically they should be taken offline as well.
Structured Programming with go to Statements (Knuth) (1974)
> Chain of thought has nothing to do with “tapping into better answers”. It’s simply asking the model to break up the output into smaller tasks and gives it more time and space to reason.

It doesn't give it more time and space to reason, though. Time isn't usually bounded on a single turn and space is context-window limited (and every turn in Chain of Thought is done within the context window, so it doesn't add any space.)

What it does is push the output toward a shape that resembles a particular idealization of (the explanation of) human reasoning, producing results that look more like an explanation of reasoning and sometimes producing more satisfying conclusions.

> But how much debt would it be in at the end of it all and is it still going to be able to maintain it's status as the dominant power?

Whatever it takes? As long as American interests are threatened. I don't mean jumping into every single quagmire of questionable value to the USA (Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam), but if Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Ukraine were threatened with being taken over by..actually anyone at all...I don't see how the USA couldn't get involved, and why it wouldn't be in their interests not to.

The alternative is a rapid decline in world stability, which would cost way more than whatever America spent fighting instead.

> If all this happened, my money would be on India leapfrogging to first place because it would be able to stay out of the main conflicts whilst simultaneously being able to leverage it's massive population and engineering skills to become the biggest manufacturing force.

If India were able to function and produce at America's level, they would already be leapfrogging everyone, but they are still pretty dysfunctional in terms of governance and allocating capital and labor productively. The only part of India doing well is a small private sector in technology that benefits from the government not caring about it enough to meddle.

China, on the other hand, has a much better chance of capitalizing on American instability one way or the other IF they are somehow not involved in the conflict.
> Haskell has both do-notation and list comprehension.

Right, and do-notation is the one everyone uses, because it's better. Python picked the wrong one.

> Comprehension in both Python and Haskell (for both lists and other structures) use the same order in both language, as far as I remember.

It may be the same order as Haskell but it's a terrible confusing order. In particular if you want to go from a nested list comprehension to a flat one (or vice versa) then you have to completely rearrange the order it's written in, whereas if you go from nested do-blocks to flat do-blocks then it all makes sense.
Vitalik and Thor were both early preorderers of our headset (we had no connection to them prior). And we didn't have any explicit crypto angle here, but just reached out to them as vetted early enthusiasts, asking if they wanted to help test the headset as users. In a way, there's something pure about getting feedback from people who are interested in the product primarily as users (as opposed to them already being in the industry).

But we actually do have a discussion ongoing with ThrillSeeker about a headset test/video, and we hope it gets made :]
Yeah, this one is weird:

gs1 = (((i, j) for i in "abc") for j in range(3))
gs2 = [((i, j) for i in "abc") for j in range(3)]

print(list(map(list, gs1)))
print(list(map(list, gs2)))

Results:

[[('a', 0), ('b', 0), ('c', 0)], [('a', 1), ('b', 1), ('c', 1)], [('a', 2), ('b', 2), ('c', 2)]]
[[('a', 2), ('b', 2), ('c', 2)], [('a', 2), ('b', 2), ('c', 2)], [('a', 2), ('b', 2), ('c', 2)]]

That's a nice "wat" right there. I believe the explanation is that in gs2, the range() is iterated through immediately, so j is always set to 2 before you have a chance to access any of the inner generators. Whereas in gs1 the range() is still being iterated over as you access each inner generator, so when you access the first generator j=1, then j=2, etc.

Equivalents:

def make_gs1():
for j in range(2):
yield ((i, j) for i in "abc")

def make_gs2():
gs = []
for j in range(2):
gs.append(((i, j) for i in "abc"))
return gs

Late binding applies in both cases of course, but in the first case it doesn't matter, whereas in the latter case it matters.

I think early binding would produce the same result in both cases.
Yeah, it would certainly need to be (and readily could be) optimized if used in production.
If only there were other factors to consider other than your convenience...
Related to this, are you familiar with the /friends.txt [1]?

It's a take on /robots.txt, but intended to link to your "friends", sort of a webring implementation.

Neither rectangular pixels nor Bezier curves are bases capable of perfectly/natively representing a circle. Either one can approximate a circle to within some arbitrarily chosen amount of error, based on increasing the number of pixels or the number of Bezier curve segments.

For a given circle and DPI, one can figure out the minimum number of Bezier curves necessary to represent the circle such that rendering those Bezier curves out to pixels will get you the exact same result as having rendered the circle in pixels directly.
At the very least transformations that produce identical assembly are safe. I think.

Also the guys in the product team are interested in whether they can actually reproduce eg your novel synthesis method for your favourite molecule on a large scale.

The 'product' of academic research is a published paper. The product of industrial research is an actual product.

(This does not apply when your research is about eg effectiveness of a new drug. The product people can sell that drug on the strength of that research. Whether that research replicates or not is only of indirect concern in that case.)
Consider an even longer timespan in that "has it already happened" scenario.

Locally, you are standing at the precipice of humanity bringing forth intelligence decoupled from physical embodiment. That humanity has brought forth modeling off of ourselves and has put to the task of digitally extending and reproducing ourselves.

We are advancing towards creating virtual universes of greater and greater fidelity where resources are allocated based on what's observed and interacted with and continuously determined geometry is quantified in order to track state changes by free agents.

But when we look at our own universe its macro continuous behavior collapses to quantified parts, and does so based on observation and interaction.

And buried within our collective lore is a document nearly two thousand years old called "the good news of the twin" claiming in it and its associated tradition that there was a spontaneous humanity that brought forth intelligence in light before dying out and that still living intelligence recreated the earlier cosmos and humanity within its light to effectively resurrect them independent of a body and that we're that recreation. And that the proof for this is in the study of motion and rest, and that the ability to find an indivisible point within bodies would only be possible in the non-physical.

A specificity that takes on particular eyebrow raising detail given the increasing likelihood over the past few years that the next stage for AI hardware is optoelectronic (i.e. literally light).

So yeah, maybe all this stuff happened long ago. But maybe it happened REALLY long ago and the nature of our existence isn't what it appears to be at face value.

Ha, that is funny. I have literally never met a CISO who shares your confidence. Not a single one of the companies chomping at the bit can protect MGM against a multi-million dollar ransomware attack. Companies get hacked because commercial cybersecurity by the big names is useless against the modern, prevailing threat landscape of organized crime. The sum total of their ability is stopping unskilled children, and even then only sometimes.

Just ask any CISO if they would bet their job on surviving a $1M unrestricted red team exercise with a year-long timeframe. They would all be scared shitless by the thought. I bet if you asked the CISO of MGM three days before the attack: "How much would it cost to hack MGM and cripple operations?" they would answer like every other CISO I have heard answer that question and say something on the order of $100K. They know it does not work; they are there to be sacrificed and just hope it does not happen on their watch.
Dalio explains it better than I'll ever be able to, I've timestamped the video to the relevant part here:

https://youtu.be/xguam0TKMw8?si=j1n3nJqbsX2YJHLj&t=1921

The general gist is that the dominant country is in so much debt, and the scale of the devaluation through money printing to get rid of the debt is so great, that it can no longer afford to maintain the global infrastructure necessary to keep its dominant super power status and simultaneously service it's debts so the countries who are buying the debt (which is what grant it it's reserve currency status) look for a safer country to invest in and that becomes the new reserve currency.

If it's just the Ukraine war, the US is probably fine and can get it's debts down if it makes the necessary moves to resolve internal problems. If the war extends to more fronts, then it could feasibly end up exactly like the UK where it wins the war but loses the status as dominant currency.
I use Yandex. Google results are actively and overly censored and manipulated.
Yes, but that's why the companies like Google or Facebook spend so much time and effort on their social science experiments.

Granted, they are mostly interested in a very small sliver of social science: 'how can you get people to directly or indirectly spend more time online and look at more ads'; but they are very, very interested in getting robust results that replicate well. They are also interested in figuring out how the results vary between different cultures and over time.

> And AGI doesn't need to completely destroy the earth to be really bad for humans. Just taking over a lot of the resources we need would do the trick.

Agreed. I am not arguing that AI could not become superhuman, or could not overwhelm us. I'm merely arguing that:

1. It is not guaranteed that mildly superhuman AGI would inexorably lead to a runaway feedback loop of capabilities increase. I'd agree that it's possible, but I often see statements that it is inevitable, because an AI smarter than us would be able to create an AI smarter than we can. Such statements fail to take into account that the sequence of successive AIs might converge (at mildly superhuman) rather than diverging (to a singularity).

2. Even if AI capabilities diverge, there's no guarantee that would happen quickly ("foom"), because even as AI capabilities increase, the effort needed to achieve each further increment in capability will almost certainly also be increasing.

I do take the potential for superintelligence very seriously; see, for instance, https://amistrongeryet.substack.com/p/get-ready-for-ai-to-ou.... But I also think that some current discussion is going overboard in the other direction, and waving away likely hurdles on the path to superintelligence (see https://amistrongeryet.substack.com/p/the-ai-progress-parado...).
I’m not sure that case is relevant to the YouTube example, as YouTube isn’t refusing to or being compelled to create new works on behalf of Brand, or whatever the closest analogy here would be. Refusing service based on protected attributes tends to be far more explicitly addressed, in the US and likely many other countries.
The way I’ve heard it from an actual woman is “I’d rather have 25% of a winner, than 100% of a loser.”
Excellent, and I love the idea. We (a community of 400+ founders in a small Bangalore community) were even discussing you guys a few days back.

I have given this feedback earlier, too, but the copy sounds Ind-lish at most places. Your customers are going to be primarily non-Indian. It would be best to have a native speaker, such as an American, to review and re-write. I’m an Indian and have worked primarily with overseas clients since the early 00s. I have learned a lot about what we speak/write sounds normal, but they sound either funny at best or rude at worst.

Not in a derogatory way, and I’m guilty of being one myself, too. However, this is what I equate to, “Quite a tad of our Indian English is like driving a car with the handbrake half-engaged or sawing a hardwood with an unsharpened tool.”

Best of luck. This tool needs to exit.
There was another style other than him looking stupefied with his mouth open? I'd be fine if that face disappeared off Youtube entirely because everyone seems to have copied that.
Which is also what you want, right? The issue is that with compound calls there is some state that’s carried over between operations (current/saved file handle), so you’d need to implement that yourself anyway.

A bigger limit for the successful cases right now is the data limit. Even if silicon wasn't a limit, there's only a good few hundred years of data, and frankly less than 30 years of high volume (if low quality) data. Science as a discipline isn't that old in the grand scheme of things, and the collective data set won't end up training something that can go beyond the input.

It's quite possible "good enough" AI will trap us in a local maximum of mediocrity where the near-term ROI on thinking hard is too low.
OTOH from memory, datacenter roofs are typically flat with HVAC gear.

They don't have windcatchers or motionless rooftop wind energy turbines.

And they aren't angled to optimize thermal flow through the facility.

What are some examples of passive rooflines?

The shed roof is an example of a passive roofline; which angles up towards one side and causes passive thermal exchange. FWIU you can just open and close vents at the peak of the roof according to time of day, internal and external temp and humidity, and the weather forecats

Passive cooling >
Modulation and heat dissipation techniques: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_cooling#Modulation_and...

/? Passive roofline:
https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=Passive...

There's probably some reason that there aren't data centers with angled roofs other than that there's typically HVAC equipment up there?

More surface area at the top of the structure should make for greater passive thermal exchange; though a more focused extreme thermal gradient is probably most useful for thermal energy reclamation with arrays of solid-state thermoelectric heat engines?

War also works, to a certain extent, as a source of truth to align incentives with outcomes. But it's horribly expensive even in terms of economics alone, not to mention the human tragedy.

Luckily free markets work as a backstop, too. Add in free movement of people (who often want to come to better run places), and free movement of capital, and you have a winning combination.

Another stroke of luck: even if you only implement a very partial version of 'free', you still get partial benefits. Slightly freer markets are typically slightly more efficient. It's not an all or nothing proposition.

> As soon as India see China is loosing they will likely use that to settle all the open territorial disputes quickly.

This has fairly similar parallels to what happened in WW2 though. US entered the war mid way through after Pearl Harbour and helped win the war, theoretically India could do the same.

> The US winning just cements the dollar dominance in the world.

Again, in WW2 the UK was the dominant currency, was on the winning team, but lost dominant currency status because the debts amassed were too large that it no longer had enough money to maintain the infrastructure necessary and service the debt so other countries sold off their holdings of GBP debt in favour of the safer haven of the US.
I doubt "we take action to protect the community" has a clear legal definition. Their "community" could be people without an internet connection too (e.g. everyone in Los Angeles because they have an office there).

Since this is obviously not about their "community" but about protecting the brand, I doubt they have put much thought into defining any of the terms in the statement.

I live in Vietnam, phone theft is relatively prevalent here.

My dad once got tricked into buying an icloud locked phone. I was very sure it was a loss cause, but he tried bringing it to a local repair shop anyway. They removed the lock in a few minutes for something like 100usd.

Apparently at least some of those icloud unlocking ad that I always thought were scams are actually legit. So these locks may not be as effective as Apple may want you to believe.
