> Team member Raphael Some of JPL explains: "One way to use faster, consumer CPUs in space is simply to have three times as many CPUs as you need: The three CPUs perform the same calculation and vote on the result. If one of the CPUs makes a radiation-induced error, the other two will still agree, thus winning the vote and giving the correct result."

Apparently it’s more nuanced than that. Some of the tents were planted. https://www.foxnews.com/us/activists-plant-empty-tents-encou...

Now, this is Fox News we’re talking about here, so sources are probably dubious, but there.
tangentially related: 15 or maybe 20 years ago i worked at a repair shop and someone brought in a TV that they said switched to spanish every night at 5pm.

they were watching over the air channels and there was only a setting in the tv for menu language. sure enough though, at 5pm that night we watched as the tv started speaking in spanish. we tried a few more channels and found that all but one or two were in spanish.

as it turns out, some stations broadcast audio in multiple languages and some tvs allow you to change the preference. sadly for this person, the used tv they bought came from a spanish speaking country and didn't have anyway to change that preference.

At least correct for inflation .. they could be making the same exact profit margins every year but as long as there's inflation, the number will be bigger every single year. Just saying "but number bigger!" doesn't mean squat.
This is great because they let listeners comment, the so-called "average user" or "most users" in the terminology of HN commenters, or "pitchforks" when these users have complaints.
The article was about postscript, but the comment I was replying to was about how to approximate a circle in Inkscape, so I suggested a better approach.
To be honest I still don't really like either; Stargate is fun at times but superficial and has some serious weirdness (in a bad way) at times, and Enterprise suffers from even more time-travel nonsense than Voyager did (plus some other things). It's okay to like things or not like things, it's the "bruh huh I'm so much smarter than all you mainstream nincompoops" kind of attitude I dislike. I suppose it's a classic youthful "rebel against the mainstream" kind of attitude shrug
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? 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.
Serving as editor of a major journal in any discipline can make one cynical. I read many years ago a quote from a mathematics editor that a large fraction of published proofs were faulty, and from a computer science editor that a large fraction of published theorems were false. (My foggy memory gives 1/2 and 1/3 for the fractions, but I don't remember which was which.)

It depends.

As the article mentions, some people have a genetic mutation that makes them much more likely to have hypertension even if they're doing everything "correctly".

Sure, in some cases it's lifestyle related; the medications lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, etc. while someone deals with their obesity, diet or other issues.
It's conceivably relevant to you, but when weighing the credibility of a claim and/or an accuser, it is irrelevant -- except as a means of assessing that the person who believes it to be relevant is uninformed.

Here's why in general terms: NSVRC estimates that 63% of all sexual assaults are not reported to the police. You likely know the reasons for this, but just in case: fear of not being believed, low prosecution/conviction rates, frequently insurmountable burden of proof given the specific nature of most rapes, the fear of an extended criminal trial, victims blaming themselves or in some cases (including one of Brand's accusers) not wanting to admit that they were raped (easier when many violent sexual assaults are not the cartoon example of a man in a balaclava in the park, but someone you know and had previously trusted).

I presume that you accept that there are, in general, many women who are raped and simply do not come forward, and that the passing of time in such cases does not in any way diminish their claim?

More specifically, in California, the law reflects this uneasy reality for victims: from 2017 onwards, there is no statute of limitations on rape accusations. It's not possible for the criminal standard of proof to be changed to account for the fact that, axiomatically, rapes are difficult to prove, therefore the state grants an unlimited amount of time to come forward, which gives prosecutors the benefit of being able to build the most robust case possible.

Proving criminal actions beyond reasonable doubt literally means that the court/jurors find the evidence so compelling that no reasonable person could conclude anything other than guilt. And in a similar fashion, California's penal code seems designed to say that no reasonable person could find a decade passing between a rape and the victim coming forward as relevant to the credibility of the claims.

It's simply settled at this point: coming forward about a rape is a brutally unfair, hard, and thankless task. That's why the vast majority of victims do not come forward. That's why it's important that we understand what it means to "believe women": it doesn't mean that we abandon legal principles and convict men at the whim of their accusers, it means that we collectively create an environment in which the victims of serious, life-deranging, deeply personal, embarrassing, hard-to-prosecute crimes are not given yet another reason to do nothing by people who don't seem to understand that there are vastly fewer false accusations of rape than there are unreported ones. It needs to work the other way around.
>>one of the cases PDF is being considered (and, based on Internet rumors, is already being used) is as an interchange format for CAD drawings? Now it suddenly starts mattering. If you have any component where getting a really accurate circle shape is vital (like pistons and their holes), suddenly all your components are slightly misshaped. Which would not be fun.

Holy forking shirtballs - NO!

The article rightly make a nice concise case against it.

I'd add from my experience: perhaps PDF people think this would be a cool way to make more money, but only because they have not done any CAD/CAM/CNC work. Since I do CAD/CAM/CNC as a regular part of my work, and have spent time with PDF back to it's early days, that is a hard NOPE.

How to Overcome Email Anxiety with AI
Email anxiety is a prevalent condition marked by an aversion to managing emails. It typically manifests as fear of opening your inbox, procrastinating on email-related tasks, or experiencing increased stress when sending or replying to messages. Many individuals face this modern challenge, and fortunately, there are effective ways to manage and overcome it with new advancements in AI technology.
I use this workflow for capturing design ideas: phone voice recorder -> whisper -> hand cleanup -> outline or second draft, depending where I am in the problem space. I have a major to-do to get a llm set up to do a first cleanup pass but haven’t had the urge since I got the first parts working. I could also stand to write automation glue to replace some shell history but it functions remarkably well for me.

This would mean that subdividing an existing lot while making no other changes would immediately crater the value of the lot by spiking its tax liabilities. Is that a sensible policy?

And when I complain "why are we so excited about a system with such fine dependence on the exact ownership structure of land?", is "the dependence on the exact ownership structure is so sensitive that we don't even plan to look at it; we'll legislate a fictitious ownership structure instead" a convincing response?

Why is one division of lots less arbitrary than some other division of lots?

Finally, under the system you describe, let's say you own property that has been, in the government's wisdom, registered as two "tax lots", A and B.

You put a building on tax lot A and pay property taxes on it that get assessed against tax lot B.

Then you put a building on tax lot B and pay property taxes on it that get assessed against tax lot A.

How is this tax regime different from a bog-standard property tax regime in which, when you put a building on tax lot A, its property taxes are assessed against tax lot A, and when you put a building on tax lot B, its property taxes are assessed against tax lot B? You develop the land, and then you pay taxes on the developed value.

What happened to the concept of "if you buy a piece of land and build value on it you should not be punished"?
It's carrots. Papers say they improve eye sight. Eat too little and you can't see enough of what's in the other papers to believe their claims.

You're right.

Those questioning are legit, and we don't know.

It could even turn that the post quantum procedures we chose in our times produces messages quickly breakable by classical computers. And that eventually one day, someone discovers it while trying to solve another problem and decides to warn everyone the right way (yay).

In such unpropitious (but, we still don't know) scenario, how cute we'll be if all that attempt for protecting us from the future were sincere.

One approximates the circle to the limit of the chosen resultion, the other simply has an error. A small error, but an error nontheless.

you can't interpolate user behavior on something that isn't used, but you can pretty quickly find the most affected groups to further remediate why that'd be the case

it's been pretty disappointing recently reading comments around here and slowly building the understanding that resistance to these types of systems haven't come from old-school "freedom" driven mindsets that spot and call out patterns that obstruct user agency or security to enable a culture of accountability VS a slow crawl to glorifying luddism born from simple apprehension to understanding the use of any additional changes in how development is viewed today

this discussion chain of "stats=bad actually." makes that distinction a little more clear
Not clear what your point is? Are you saying that indeed there was any chance of Nato invading Russia? I think that was what you're implying, but I'm not sure, since you replied to me with a question.

Do you have any scenario of how that would happen, so that Russia's invasion of Ukraine makes any sense as a preemptive move?
There’s been so, so many of these accusations in the past decade that turned out to be far less than the initial reporting or flat out wrong. Your deference to the professionalism of journalism is about a decade or two out of touch with modern reality.

It is only rational to wait for proper processes play out.

It’s sad that such a thing has become politicized where one has to feel the need to tar and feather someone at the first reporting of accusations and any dissent of immediate overreactions is dismissed as conspiratorial or itself motivated by a distasteful political agenda or merely getting their information from unclean sources.
It's an experimental discipline implemented _using_ computers. Programming is necessary but definitely not sufficient.

I'm biased, but in my experience, stats, the math-heavy end of economics, and computational physics/chemistry/biology are all roughly as good preparation as a traditional computer science course. (Having research experience is particularly useful.)
The AI tools we develop for self-improvement will need to be self aware enough to know what is holding them back from further improvement. In the same way that Einstein said "You can't solve problems with the same kind of thinking that created them", hopefully these tools will have a way to get to the next level, or at least be able to identify what is required to further improve.

The assumption in the article that humans haven't been on a "runaway" improvement process could be stronger. Human history is relatively short, but process improvement has been strong.

Oral history led to written history, led to more instant communication, and in most fundamental disciplines there have been systematic process improvements. Humans are messy, but vastly improved over evolution for adapting to varied environments.

I mean, if we've really reached a point where the tools are this self-aware enough to improve, we will probably struggle to get enough power and silicon to run more, faster. I get that this is fantasy stuff, but seems reasonable on a longer timeline (say 150-200 years), no?
The Guardian estimates that he makes a little over a million a year from his YouTube videos.

If your sole source of income comes from YouTube, a private enterprise you freely chose to contract and enter into a binding agreement with which affords them the right to do this, then this is a risk you run.

Brand, like everyone, is free to monetise his content on platforms with different perspectives on acceptable creator conduct, or to monetise his content directly. The specific transaction which he is entering into with YouTube is that he will benefit from their large audience viewing his videos, and if people watch those videos, YouTube and he will benefit from advertising running against the videos. Brand does not have any de facto right to broadcast to YouTube's audience, which I would imagine they consider to be proprietary and valuable -- exactly the sort of thing you wouldn't want, for example, associating your brand with individuals credibly accused of rape.

> And so we should appreciate what a serious action that is, to turn it off. It's not like it's just play money, that we can pretend it doesn't matter. It's real income.

It's a serious course of action but that does not mean it's unfair on Brand. He was already warned when he -- a standup comedian with identical bona fides to a goldfish -- espoused discredited unscientific nonsense during COVID. It was fair then, and it's fair now.

madeofpalk said "Hate speech is not illegal in the US. [...]"

to which you responded "Then that speech should remain on YouTube and those concern by the content of the speech should simply produce counterarguments and discredit that speech."

I take this to mean that you think hate speech shouldn't be removed from youtube because it isn't illegal in the US.

Then you said "That hate speech claiming that some group of people are "stain on our planet" will probably claim other stuff like conspiracies and alternative history. Go after those if you are concerned."

I take this to mean that you think people who claim stuff like conspiracies and alternative history are fair game for youtube to "go after". But those things are just as legal as hate speech in America.

Where is my error in understanding?
> On the chart, really surprised the 'Ocean Acidification' isn't higher.

Agreed. Not sure how they're measuring that.

I also wonder what they're thinking about with freshwater, given recent articles about how heat rising means water less able to hold oxygen for freshwater life. Yes, even if the water is still there (which it may not be) and even if it's not polluted (and it's probably polluted with something) rising temperatures kill ecosystems.
Apple II emulators are so much fun. I've written or significantly worked on at least four that I can think of (one of them in Python is at https://github.com/jtauber/applepy). They're great because the 6502 is a nice simple CPU to emulate, and the whole machine is small enough to keep in your head all at once.

As a kid I remember spreading out the Apple II motherboard circuit diagram (part of the machine reference manual) on the floor and studying it. Good times.
Right, "panicked" was a bad word. I think their choice was sound (or at least very defensible). I meant "panicked" as even greater degree of "unexpected" (beyond even surprised).
