I dont think this is about romanticising the past. Maori were colonised, a violent process that nearly destroyed their culture, language and left them destitute. That's the fact of the matter. No happy clappy messaging about Maori culture is required to realise that Maori suffered immensely through colonisation, pakeha gained immensely through colonisation and we continue to do so.
To suggest this is some swings and roundabouts, 50/50 kinda thing is frankly offensive.
Seems to me a way of testing the visualization vs hallucination (if I can distinguish it like that) gradient would be the ability to trace visualized/'projected' objects on paper, particularly for subjects without prior background in illustration/draftsmanship (less skill to lean on) and for images which require replication of details they're not familiar with (things like dice are relatively geometrically primitive shapes, while say a person's face while it can be built up from primitives is inherently complex). Granted part of this would be testing photographic recall.

Like you describe I can visualize a lot of things, with fidelity, but it's still in my mind's eye (that is, a 'sense' rather than a physically represented image that's as apparent as other IRL objects). I can also hone in on details with my eyes open while doing other things. However I can't trace such things merely from this sense since they're not actually there for me. I can however leverage my draftsmanship skills to be able to focus on the mental visualization/sense and progressively draw from memory and for various familiar things visualize them on the paper but not as an optical manifestation.
The article states: For reference, US rights are currently tied up with ESPN until 2025

I watch via F1 TV in the USA. I wonder if they have some special carve-out? I hope this deal doesn't shutter them. Or if it does, I hope their model of being able to switch between the TV feed and any in-car camera makes it to AppleTV.
P.S. I went through Wikipedia's definition a bit more. Not sure it's a full dependent types with the type pairs and stuff. Nim does let you do (constant) value to type conversion with expressions: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4HRz or more oddly https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4HRA . That'd seem to satisfy the `Π` definition and lack of fixed codomain. Though I've never taken a set theory course so YMMV.
And to what end? I fundamentally disagree with the premise that a downsized human population creates a better future, simply because fewer people will require less land, pollute less etc. This not to argue that land use, pollution, climate change etc. are not serious problems. Population collapse is way worse though from an individual perspective. We may not be able to maintain the level of human progress or even regress sharply in our living standards when there are drastically fewer people.

To get an impression of what this looks like, look at what happened after major catastrophes in human history: the collapse of the Roman Empire, the plague that eradicated large swaths of Europe’s population in the Middle Ages, etc. It regularly took centuries for humanity to recover from these events.
Imagine how much more durable it would be if they waxed the cardboard. Prolly make it non-recyclable tho.

Makes me suspect the point of the effort is not the people using the product. The sales literature here is certainly aimed at the people who want to purchase lack of concern for details like utility, along with their humanitarian donations.

Edit: makes me wonder what the cardboard "shipper coffins" cost. it appears the funeral industry keeps the prices high but it seems like any box company should be able to slap these together, with custom printing, at competitive prices.
Why don't you guys let the lawyers do the arguing for you. The great grandparent I was responding to was arguing against the ability of the state to even bring the lawsuit.
cardinal (rated) voting methods are better than ordinal (ranked). so score voting, approval voting, and star voting are all good.

approval voting is just score voting on a 0-1 binary scale. star voting is score voting on a 0-5 scale, followed by an "instant runoff" between the top two highest rated candidates.

> public understanding and trust make a voting system more optimal.

star voting: score the candidates from 0 - 5 and the winner is the majority favorite between the two highest rated overall.

there's no risk with public understanding here. i've worked on this subject since 2006, and conducted exit polls with score voting ballots within months of getting into this issue. people understand it just fine. it's radically simpler than ranking.
200 years ago, we thought the universe was just the Milky Way. You really can’t determine what consciousness is until you know what it is. There’s no evidence that consciousness arises from the physical body at all. If you look at a dead body. The “life” is gone. Who knows where or. what it is, we certainly don’t at this point.

"At least nine experts have uncovered files held on them", but the only criticism of education policy included in the article is "her criticisms of the department’s controversial new baseline assessments for four-year-olds in their first term at school."

Does anyone have more information about this criticism, or what the objections were of the 8 other critics? I was surprised the entire article about surveillance of critics, contains literally only a single sentence about the criticisms that landed them on government surveillance.

My grandfather had Alzheimers and my mother - his daughter - had FTD. I do fear about what that means for me. I did try a study that tested me for a common FTD gene. My aunt - my mom's sister - did not want to know the results. I did. I wanted to know if whether I'd definitely get it, or if that was still unknown. I understand why she didn't want to know, I for me it cave me a sense of understanding about my future.

That particular test came back negative, so it was helpful to alleviate some anxiety. There are others ones that I must pay for to check my risk further.

Through watching them deal with this terrible disease, and knowing others have done so and also still others deal with terrible diseases - I can never understand the desire to stick our heads in the sand and say "welp nothing we can do so lets not even try". It very much reminds me of the Columbia disaster.

It must be a common human thing, because it happens repeatedly. For me, I will advocate that people like me and especially people who are positive are allowed to do whatever they want with their bodies, if they believe it can help them.
It's a portmanteau of hydraulic and automatic. Of course the former was originally only referring to water, but later became used to refer to any system based on fluid pressure.

(Fun fact: "hydraulic elevator" in the late 19th and early 20th century often referred to one that actually used water.)
That's like saying it's OK to expect (say) Ford to make a car with no steering wheel. GitHub basically define the baseline for the entire industry and have millions upon millions to blow on trying to do better.

I use to run linux with windows in a vm, windows is so stable now and nice tools, that I run windows with WSL. I find it extremely stable, except I do reboot it for the monthly security updates. WSL+Windows Terminal is great, and I have anaconda setup for AI projects using cuda. And then I can run steam games when I'm not working.

Other than replacing the taskbar in win10/11, theres not much that I dislike about windows. Its fast, runs everything, I have linux tools everywhere, everything works.

I never get pop ups, not sure why I'm what I'm doing differently, I am running pro, maybe thats why?

I see now that the grandparent was enforcing squash commits, did not mean to single out your comment.

It just blows my mind as someone with a somewhat perfectionist approach to rebasing (to the extent I sometimes intentionally break up or reorder commits to make the changes more intentional or natural, even when it causes nasty local merge conflicts) :P

> Islam is especially potent on the fertility front because marriage and having children are considered a central moral obligation

I'm a Sunni Muslim who is fairly well-versed in the religion, and I can tell you it isn't an "obligation". Marriage is strongly encouraged, but usually without mention of children, though that's generally expected (probably more from a cultural angle). Islam is also generally (to my knowledge) accepting of contraception.

I have no doubt that American Muslims have more kids than the average American, but it's becoming increasingly common to see Muslim couples now with no kids (wasn't the case when I was a kid). Nobody thinks much of it.

(Above applies to Sunni Islam, can't speak for Shi'a denominations)
Addressed this in our other thread.

Short answer is that as such activity continues the incentives to compete by behaving less duplicitously also increase - that may mean unorthodox means of finding those users in extreme attack scenarios like your example tends towards - but in basic cases there are proofs nodes can provide of previous performance which can't be Sybilled.
On the other hand, it is pretty arbitrary for 3 people to receive the prize when the cause of the award is the verification of a prediction which was made by 6 separate people around the same time, with the evidence itself found by another large completely unrelated team.

Only awarding 3 people props up the idea that large breakthroughs in science are still the result of individual visionaries, when they haven't been that way for a long time and the complexity of much of the experiments far exceeds the capability of 3 people to be mostly responsible for.

Going back to the Higgs Boson example, why shouldn't the entire team at CERN responsible for developing and running the experiment that made the detection be considered nobel laureates?
Experience doesn’t matter. Riding one of those things with your hands in your pockets is 100% downside, 0% upside.

I don't know if her claims have any real merit but I suspect it's become part of the unofficial vindictive employee playbook to make a discrimination complaint anytime you're facing termination for cause.

Everyone who isn't a straight white male is a member of at least one protected class. The most we can do is play the whistleblower-retribution card, even if it's a farce.

It appears to be worth attempting-- it costs you nothing and shakes the employer down for a quick and favorable settlement to shut you up. I've seen it done by two ex-employees in the last three years, and there was a recent news article about a woman at some insurer who was submitting timecards for hours worked while caught redhanded as AWOL...she immediately cried discrimination too.
I agree coastal cities will have large populations. But tech workers in particular may migrate inland. As this is HN, I knew somebody would poke holes in my "midwest migration" (for what, to be close to data centers? yeah right!) thesis. I honestly struggled to find a compelling reason for it, and settled on, "reduction of corporate espionage".

I think under the thesis of a super hypercompetitive quadrillion dollar opportunity in AGI than will literally transform the global landscape, companies relocating their workers, not just to be close to the data center, but also to the remote rural campus / company town where they can be protected from espionage (it's been said that SF is like a spies dream, which is why there is apparently so much espionage there), will actually be a thing.

If every critical employee of your company is read in on the secret sauce of your AI engine, and we assume the opportunity is large enough, every employee will be under constant attack by adversaries. Just like with the National Labs, it's easier run secret projects out in the middle of nowhere. So, it's like "nuclear secrecy arms race" but with a corporate twist that replaces nukes with AI. The center of gravity of the largest companies will then suck all the other tech out that way, too. What do you think?

I admit that as stated in the story excerpt it looks pretty weak as migratory reasoning. But that above is kind of the back story, hopefully it makes it more strong.
If there is a collapse (and I suspect it will be due to climate change rather than fertility issues and much sooner than people seem to think), humanity will never recover to what it is today, not only because of the severe bottlenecks they will go through, but because all the easily exploitable resources will have already been used in the 20th and 21st centuries.

I don’t understand why no one seems bothered by this, but I am also trying to adopt the attitude of “getting my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames” to quote Jim Morrison. Of course, that means no children for me.
The soaking and required dry floor critique is a significant factor.

The "wouldn't want to plop down on one of those" point might be imagined, the article asserts that:

In Humanitaria's cardboard bed design, the cardboard bed can support up to 350 kilograms of weight, well above the 150 kilograms supported by the usual camping beds used by NGOs.

which certainly bears looking into - cardboard with internal corrugated layers is stronger than many think.

As for Storage - these are literally flip top (unfloored) "boxes" - lifting the top reveals a walled interior, easily as 'safe' | 'secure' as a stuff on a bed with a blanket over the top.

Dumb question: The wiki-style of having a changeset of edits seems somewhat easy to make mistakes with. How closely do people review the changes? Will they have the full context? How easy can a series of innocuous looking changes over a long period of time sneak in misleading or false narrative?

Hypothetically, let's assume that the erasure was somehow a honest mistake. I think no amount of improvement in process and no amount of selecting for verified editors would stop that from happening.

Perhaps we need a better way of recording data from multiple sources and then generating the wikipedia entry from that.
Just because it's old, doesn't make it tech debt
and no one wants to show a visual of these models apparently

because afaik population collapse is an exponential process, and the economy undergoes shrinkages and reoptimizations on the way down that have knock on effects in the same neighborhood that controls population

collapse is not a controlled process, most boom and bust cycles throughout history look rapid when viewed over the backdrop of 1000 years, based on the historical precedents i'm familiar with there's a higher chance of this being the back end of a roller coaster if people don't obsess over having kids as much as people obsess over climate change

911 obviously doesn't have to work given the blatant disregard Google has had for 911 performance over multiple phone generations. I consistently had 911 calls fail on my Pixel 6, which led me to get rid of that device.

Some Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) also give zero shits about call answer time, NG911, 911 via text, or even consistently working E911.

E911 provides a static address to the public safety answering point when a 911 call comes in. NG911 enriches this with more accurate latitude longitude and height above ground level data, or for phones that are in a fixed location a room number or extension number can be provided to make it much easier for a routing emergency services.

We need a national system for 911, not this mishmash of 10 to 30-year-old proprietary systems serving the 5700 PSAPs put together for each department on a township, city or county basis, with minimal coordination across regions and states.

> One can understand something and not believe it is true

Of course.

"Belief" is subjective. It requires no fact or reasoning, and is independent of "understanding", so can correlate with it or not.

> I'm sure flat earthers understand the concept of a sphere or more specifically a oblate spheroid.

Your example isn't quite what I was talking about. A rational person can understand and believe in a relationship between spinning and oblate spheres, without logically concluding that the Earth is a sphere, spinning or oblate.

Relevant "understanding" questions would be, do they understand General Relativity? The Higgs field? The Coriolis Effect? Gravitational density maps? The topology of airport locations and travel times, the topology and latencies across the internet, land, sea and orbital, the ring of geocentric satellites? Etc.

Understanding any of those things, means understanding: why large masses pull themselves into (spinning oblate) spheres, that Coriolis torque is a measurement of speeds varying across latitude, or that travel and communications map to a sphere, or that anyone can directly view an unbroken circle of satellites directly above the unbroken ring of the equator, etc.

All without getting mired in someone's unilaterally subjective "beliefs".

There's a huge difference between defaulting to socially acceptable behavior (as most people do) and refusing to even engage with things that are 'harmful' or 'unethical' in a more-or-less innocent context (as some of these absurdly censored models do).

Or in other words, I fully expect that most people will never have an interest in actually murdering someone, but there's nothing unusual or unethical about enjoying murder mystery stories.
