> At least they did remove the article

Wouldn't it be better to add a correction at the top of the article instead of deleting it?

Deleting it I'd think would just fuel (current or budding) conspiracy theorists, as they can point to something that existed but got removed, rather than something that got corrected.

But in the end, it's probably a loosing battle anyway...
I see what you mean - not sure about the usage of ambiguous but some people do have an overly narrow definition in mind
Cast metals are rather brittle, normally? Good for complex shapes that may be further refined by machining, and in compression loads, but not in shear or tension. I would think they would shatter in a collision rather than bend like steel.

> Humans have inner subjective experience, self-awareness, and the ability to reflect on our own existence. LLMs don't.

We have no test capable of determining whether or not they have those things, not even if we disregarded the limitations of our current technology capabilities and are only asking hypothetically how to differentiate.

We also don't have that for animals, or even other humans — I know I have an experience of being, but no way of telling if someone else who says they do actually does. I have to assume at least some of y'all do or humanity wouldn't have written about it since at least Descartes.

People with aphantasia report being surprised when they realise that other people do have mental images, and that they previously thought such things were invented by the film industry as a metaphor. By analogy, there may well be humans out there without qualia, who just learned to mimic the language of those of us who do, which is after all exactly what LLMs must have done if they don't have inner subjective experience. Philosophers call them P-Zombies.
> There is no sign that we will ever send out Von Neumann probes

Unless human civlization collapses, why not?

> Or, how do we know they haven’t reached us? Maybe they stayed in the outer solar system. Maybe they came, looked, and left. Maybe they have some sort of cloaking device technology. Maybe they are really small.

Ifthere is even one more civilization sending out probes, that implies there are many within our light horizon sending out probes. I find it implausible that every single one would choose the same strategy of keeping probes stealthy and undetectable.
thank you for taking the time to answer and to provide links, appreciate it.

I am not convinced this ever happened in any meaningful sense. As you note, it turned into armed conflict almost immediately. This was a British-induced transient state that was unable to sustain itself in the region.

The Myanmar state/people are also colonizers/conquerors. You don't need to come across an ocean to see territory that you dont control and decide to try to take control by force. Facebook and ethno-nationalism are simply new tools in a long-running conflict.

I don’t know for sure why the early pytorch team picked it, but my guess is due to simplicity and performance. NVidia optimizes CUDA better that OpenCL and provides tons of useful performance tuning tools. It is hard to match the CUDA performance with OpenCL even on the same NVidia GPU hardware, and making performant code compatible across different GPU with OpenCL is also hard. I know examples of scientific codes that became simpler and faster (on nvidia hardware) by going from openCL to CUDA but haven’t yet heard of examples the other way around.

Yeah I feel like this is the next stepping stone on a path we have been on for years. I remember Rich Rebuilds got rear ended in his Rivian and the total repair bill was somewhere around $30K if I remember right. I really do wish repairability was considered more not less, but with safety standards, manufacturing costs, etc it seems like cars are racing towards the cliff of just “discarding” if they have a problem just like the rest of consumer goods
I don’t even know why people bother argue such things?

It is a pretty easy mistake to make if you are used to how fast new processors come out now, but you comparing an i386 from 1991 to to a 68020 from the mid 80s.

In 1985 when the 386 came out I believe the fastest speed you could get was 16MHz. They added higher speed variants for years afterwards. Intel made a 40MHz 386 in 1991 that was strictly aimed at embedded users who want more perf but were not ready to move to 486 based designs (386CX40), I doubt almost anyone used on in a PC. AMD made a Am386 at 40MHz which was a reverse engineered clone of the 386, but again that came out in the 90s (the big selling point was that you could reuse your existing 386 motherboards instead of replacing them like you needed to for a 486).
It's probably wrong to per se dismiss political violence as always wrong, or suggest we must always seek to restore order. "A negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice." It's a lot easier to make that claim when the body of examples are deranged, unhinged rants with no relationship to reason or reality. But, aren't we disagreeing with the message, and not the delivery system?

How do you separate the bad instances of political violence for the good ones? Have we had no "good" examples of political violence since the Civil War?

Is that the idea, we've solved all of the problems requiring violence by now? I dunno if I buy that.
I thought that was "flat UI." Or it was a few years ago.

Seems like they're trying to glorify an aesthetic that was anti-glory to begin with.
The only hard dependencies are Redis and Postgres. The official stance is to run them from the provided docket compose and the container for paperless-ngx itself is kept updated and working for the stable containers of redis and postgres.

Tika and Gotenburg are additional features for scanning and converting MS Office documents to PDF. Not necessary and I don't use them in my setup at all. Same with sftpgo. I'm not sure for its usecase. But paperless doesn't directly depend on it in anyway.
> If you can't tell how big something is at all, the program is broken and will probably fail randomly.

That's not what I said at all. It's the exact opposite of what I said. Why this strawman? I already replied above and explained very clearly that I'm talking about when the size is known but not via the struct itself:

>>> the expression doesn't have to come from the same struct, though. It could be provided somewhere else.

>> It might very well be straightforward to obtain, just not located in that struct itself.

The size could be communicated in a different struct, no? Or passed back to the caller via a pointer argument? Or a million other ways beside the same struct itself?

Dynamic typing aka type inferencing (like in Python, but also in Java and C# when you use "var") can get you in trouble quickly. Consider this code:

var fireable = someMethod();
firable.fire();

The programmer intended this code to fire an employee. Let's say this code is in a military application, and another programmer modified the someMethod() function to return a missile. As long as the missile object has a fire() method this code will compile just fine... and do something the code didn't intend to do, i.e., fire a missile!

How likely are you to have employee firing and missile firing in the same program? Not very likely, but the principle is valid, nonetheless. You need to express your intention more clearly like this:

Employee fireable = someMethod();

Now if someMethod() is modified to return a missile you get a compilation error, and the world will be a lot safer. You don't want missiles being fired by accident!
Tell that to the millions of individual humans that have advanced humanity in some way or another for the past tens of thousands of years, through some discovery or invention or inspiring groups of people to do something great.
There are body shops all over town here repairing collision damage every day. Yes a major crash is a write off especially on an older car, but the problem is that with cast frames, if they are more likely to be irreparably damaged in a collision, that's more write-offs. That means insurance premiums for these cars will be more costly as well.
Oh great, means I'm worrying about nothing :-)

RE large pack files: you can remove unused objects with these commands:

git repack -AFd

git prune --expire now

Also related, the initial git clone from a TFS server (as of 2015) can include every object ever pushed to the server, even if it is on no current branch. So the above commands might save significant space locally. I’m not if newer versions of TFS and DevOps improved this behavior.

Forcing people to use an E-mail address as a user ID is so amateur-hour that I don't even know where to begin dismantling it. You don't see banks or brokerages doing this.

Why is it so dumb? Because the vast, vast majority of people have no idea how any of this shit works. So, when a company demands that you sign up with your E-mail address and enter a password, a great many people are going to think they have to use their E-mail password too. This makes every one of these sites a gatekeeper to its users' E-mail accounts. If their security practices suck and they're hacked, or a disgruntled employee steals their records, or whatever... now a ton of their users' E-mail accounts are open for mining.

The failure to think this obvious scenario through is appalling. It's also appalling to see companies like Apple perpetrating this stupid behavior, especially AFTER the fact. Apple IDs originally did not have to be E-mail addresses. And later on, they did not have to be FUNCTIONING E-mail addresses. Now they've regressed all the way and they have to be both. And so Apple, per its usual M.O., has had to tack on various extra measures since then to try to shore up security.

In case you couldn't tell, I absolutely detest this policy.
> Of all the monogamous people I know who have cheated on their partner, they are not practicing safe sex based on my inquires

> I extrapolate out accordingly

> I am a scholar basing my thesis on the data.

Those statements are entirely contradictory. Your methodology is not even remotely in the vicinity of scholarly.

>The data shows monogamy is aspirational

If 75-90% of monogamous relationships are successfully monogamous, I’d hardly call that aspirational.

> But with 40% of pregnancies unintended annually

Without know how many of those are monogamous couples, that statistic is useless.

If you want to get pretty close to the actual risk difference, take a look at the difference in STD rates between single and married people. Even adjusting for age, race, and income, single people are astronomically more likely to contract STDs than married people.

I live in a major city where I can walk or take public transportation anywhere I need to go.

90% of the people I share this city with are capable of doing the same thing, and it would be transformed in the process from an incomprehensible hellscape of noise and concrete into something reflecting any kind of human agency.

That this doesn't happen is not even because people are weak, stupid, selfish, feckless, and lazy, but because they are expected and incentivized to act that way. The article is a reminder that we don't need to.
If you only need to remember one long password it is not really required, although admittedly convenient.

Takes a little digging, as the corporate media is mostly owned by the same shareholder conglomerates that own the utilities and their providers... but Schwarzenegger dropped the lawsuit against those who rigged the California energy system. (2003):

> "According to the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights of Los Angeles, the biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed by California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the Unfair Business Practices Act. This litigation, based upon rock- solid evidence of alleged fraudulent reporting of sales transactions, megawatt "laundering," fake power delivery scheduling and straight-out conspiracy, is headed to trial now in Los Angeles. The lawsuit would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers."

> "The prediction is that Gov. Schwarzenegger will now bless a sweetheart deal with the power companies that short circuits the lawsuit by way of a "settlement" of 2 cents per dollar negotiated by Bush's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, headed by a guy originally proposed by former Enron CEO Ken Lay."

Arnold then dropped the $9 billion lawsuit once in office, I think the eventual settlement was only a few hundred million. I guess he was useful.

Back in the days of 8080 CPUs, I built a number of projects in Forth,including a "discovery system" which adapted patterns from the late Douglas Lenat's Eurisko project, as well as a trading system which, on paper, could have been successful.

From that experience, I tend to agree with your intuitions.

Now that we have 64-bit CPUs, it's tempting to revisit Forth.
What might be missing is he massive collection of libraries we have in other languages.

Forth, BTW, historically, has been pushed directly to Silicon in at least two instances, the first one by Chuck Moore [1], the second one designed by Philip Koopman [2]

Bingo. All of the languages I have used prior to (and since) use 0-indexed arrays.

There's times where doing math with array indexes is simpler with 0 and with 1-indexed arrays. I don't think I really found 0 to be difficult to learn; there are a great many more challenging things.

I wouldn't say "don't use a 1 indexed language" but I've also never found the arguments in favor of it to be compelling when using lua.
