Improving Training Stability for Multitask Ranking Models in Recommender Systems
Not to let this thread get dragged too far off-topic, but that's another example of why it isn't useful to put too much weight on the reasons they did the things they did in their time (as opposed to asking "What time are we in now, and how should effective government be shaped to serve the people in this time?").

In this modern era, most of the reasons for arming the public are completely obsolete:

- there is no longer a frontier so large the nation cannot defend it and must therefore be able to call up a well-regulated militia to defend its expansive borders against a people who (wisely) would challenge the nation's territorial claims

- the end of slavery means the end of the need for slave-patrols, which were the unwritten reason the South supported the Second Amendment (https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1002107670).

- in the era of planes, drones, e-warfare, bombs, tanks, APCs, and guided missiles, any notion that private firearm ownership actually constrains the government is foolishness. We've watched the government crack open far too many citizen compounds with violence applied to believe that. One could argue we actually watched half the country try to seize power via their Second Amendment-granted rights back in the 1860s and get about 20% of their men exterminated for their trouble. What constrains government activity is the continuing function of democracy to make that government accountable to the people if they find the violence was wrongly-applied or unpalatable. Broadly speaking, American citizens use their broad right of private firearm ownership mostly to kill each other and never to constrain government; the times it appeared government was constrained by private firearm ownership were a lot more about the executive agents on the ground not wanting another "Waco incident" than about the actual power of the private citizens holding weapons to stop the agents.

I like to keep in mind that one of the most ardent advocates for the Second Amendment to check the power of government eventually died via a bullet from his own dueling pistol. As did his son.
Windows 11 prevents you from docking your task bar to the side of the screen - it is forever dead to me.

I wonder what the difference between her chatbot and the chatbot that likely responds to you if you message her on onlyfans is. Probably the same thing. If you want to try a non guardrailed chat AI try Chai, for free. It is pretty good. Even still, I have found with these bots they either get repetitive very fast or will output some nonsensical thing that breaks any immersion.

Fully AI webcam girls are on the horizon, that will completely change the porn industry. These chatbots are just money grabs at horny dudes.
It was sarcasm. But thank you for the definition. I’m not sure what part of my comment is incoherent. Missing punctuating?
> There are a lot of really good cops out there

People say this, but are there? To me, part of the set of requirements to be a good cop is to not only pay lip service about disliking "bad cops" but to actively work to clean the house. If as many good cops really existed and really disdained bad cops, you wouldn't see the bad cops skating peacefully through life the way they do.
> Windows 10 takes 30 minutes to update. What could it possibly be doing for that long?

I recently updated Windows 10 in VirtualBox. According to htop, the process wrote over 17GB and I'm pretty sure it took more than 30 minutes using more than 100% CPU most of the time.
I went ahead and geoguessr'd one of the images of a "blue" traffic light, and came to the following: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EjYmH34YC19y3fVt9

> The H20 on Earth doesn't change

It actually does. That is the whole premise behind global warming. CO2 alone would not be able to warm up the planet more than 1C - and that is if we keep burning fuels at max rate with no reduction.

The idea is that the 1C warming will cause the hotter air to support more water vapor, and water vapor is a much more potent gas than CO2, so it will warm the Earth additionally 2-3 or even 4C if we don't stop the CO2 emissions. This is the positive feedback loop. There are other feedback loops - some are negative and work towards decreasing the impact, for example the greening of the planet: if plants have more CO2, they will grow faster, bigger and be more resilient to drought, so they will absorb more CO2 overall.

If the "idea" above wouldn't be true, there would be no global warming crisis.
How do you measure the "general line"? And how do you know if you've addressed something like that? What exactly is your definition of "representative democracy" in the first place?

This is really my point: you can't really have a conversation like that via a referendum. Repeat referenda are not really an option as your results will be increasingly biased towards the people with the strongest feelings/motivations.

Furthermore, the EU more or less worked the same before the treaty, and this treaty didn't really change that. In that sense it was a rather poor way to voice the specific criticism that the democratic nature of the EU should be reformed. I actually agree with that! I just don't think the referenda's were meaningful. If anything, it was counter-productive as the amount of nonsense mixed in with the better arguments just makes the criticism easier to ignore, and people who "just say no all the time" are generally easy to ignore in the first place (voting "no" is not a constructive way to improve things).

I briefly tried Yarn 3 but it also did some weird things.

Here's to hoping that Yarn 4 "just works" the way Yarn 1 does.

Would hydrogen make sense for really heavy vehicles like bus or truck, or even train?

I think for cars it isn’t the most convenient. But at the same time hydrogen would be cool if it works because it’s so abundant. And it’s pretty cool that the hydrogen cars exhaust water.
You can win the lottery but still think that gabling on it is not a sound decision. A few people will strike big, but that’s not the same as saying anyone can.

This is likely how most charging stations with this power requirement will work too. They will have on-site batteries that are charged at a slower rate to help increase the overall charge speed. Charging stations aren't used 24/7 and this additional battery capacity can absorb day time solar power as needed.
I think it's a mistake to use current AI in current times as the status quo in ~5 years from now.

AI will likely improve dramatically, as will the general persons ability to work with it. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if typewriter operators outpaced nascent word processor users in the beginning.
> There's a potential future where these discussions (about whether to work with AI or work against it) will be happening across ALL industries, not just in the x-rated one.

Uh, that’s not a potential future, its today. It's happening in tech, today (as mentioned in TFA, that’s part of what got Reid interested), it is a big part of the issues behind the recent SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in mainstream film/TV. It's happening across a wide range of industries today, not just porn.
There's at least some experimental evidence to suggest that race car sims with VR displays and steering wheel interfaces can train (some) real racing skills. But I really doubt that playing GTA with a console controller or mouse and keyboard do the same. Cars in GTA don't even behave like cars IRL, neither the ones you drive and certainly not the ones being driven by the computer. None of the muscle memory translates and any other hand-eye coordination skills transferring from one to the other is extremely dubious. With a VR headset you might have something to go off of, but otherwise GTA trains you to keep your head facing forward to the screen instead of on a swivel, so if anything GTA probably makes you a worse driver IRL.

I have zero regrets/concerns claiming that the semantic version is 8 × smaller, renders faster, and is easier to modify and extend. Tailwind markup is clearly more bloated than semantic one. See:

https://nuejs.org/blog/tailwind-vs-semantic-css/img/markup-b...

There are many developers who agree with this. Luckily not my lonely fight :)

Accessibility (attributes outside "style" and "class") are outside the topic (even though both sites give accessibility score in the same ballpark).
Yes, on average women can perceive more colors than men [1]

Anecdotally, in high school we all took this test for a class [2] and the girls did a lot better than us. Although some guys were able to score pretty well on it. I don’t remember if this was the exact test but it’s very similar.

But party lines are set by leaders who are themselves representatives. If they had to interface with fewer constituents, they'd engage with them in a different way, probably listening more; having higher and higher numbers of constituents to care for inevitably shifts representatives into "cattle-herding" territory, setting them further apart than they already are.

Also, the more constituents, the more difficult it is for third-party candidates to run and meaningfully affect the debate.

In the end, continent-sized superpower government is really hard. Even in the "good old days", you often ended up with people like Nixon.
That's why software often came on ROM cartridges for home computers. Floppy disks and cassette tapes were just a cheap compromise.
If you add up the employer and employee portion of payroll taxes (social security + Medicare), it’s probably close to 25%.

> to send it back to parliament unrevised

No, once a proposal is made the commission can withdraw it but not amend it anymore

After the proposal is made parliament and the council shuttle back and forth (between each other) proposed changes for up to 3 times (I might be wrong on the exact number)

If the proposal doesn't pass by then (or is withdrawn) it fails
In a similar vein I was asked by an immigration officer at the airport what I would do if the US went to war with the country I'm from. It threw me completely off guard.

I told him that it's lucky that solid democracies seldom go to war against each other, but that I would probably flee to the Bahamas to avoid it.

Same. I was using yarn 1 until a couple years ago. Now I just use npm. What are the downsides? I have no idea. If there are, they must be negligible because the apps work fine, customers are happy, and devs are able to keep building. We must not have any crazy dependencies because I don’t see much performance gains. At most we might link other packages as we develop.

I think if I really went searching for problems I might find something. I also just try to avoid JS these days unless it’s UI, and there I keep things very lean and straightforward.
At the current state of the art, it looks more like keeping the $175K dev and laying off four $60K devs.
It's an unfair comparison because Tailwind as a library is composed of tooling, documentation, design patterns, good practices and obviously CSS. The same is for other libraries, e.g., Bootstrap.

I agree that using Tailwind--without extra effort--will end up with "meaningless" (not really) classes in the HTML.

But semantics should be prioritized in HTML rather than CSS or class names. What's the benefit of having semantic classes when your HTML is inaccessible and unsemantic? e.g., using `a` instead of `button`, `img` with unsemantic alternative text.
I don't think this distinction stems from the same source. Blue/green distinction is a clear step in linguistic development that happened in different stages for different civilisations, but they're more of a result of linguistic developments, local available colours, and manufacturing capability than a reference to plants.

This particular cabbage is coloured by a chemical that responds to the pH of the stuff it comes into contact with. The colour can range from quite bright red to quite clear blue, and even green or yellow.

It's perfectly possible for the red cabbages to be turned into blue dishes, and the pH of the soil will also have a large effect on the colour produced by the plant. You can see on various stock photos how the plant has a clear blue hue (before harvesting, at least): https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/rotkraut.html?pseudoid=562... Even ignoring the leaves, the outside of the parts that generally get cooked have a clear blue hue in many pictures I can see.

The reason "lila" wasn't used to describe the cabbage is that the German language lacked a word for it. It entered the German vocabulary somewhere in the 19th century (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lila#German). In a similar fashion, there was no separate word for orange in many European languages until somewhere around the 15th-16th century, when oranges (the fruit) were starting to get imported. You had yellow-red and other hue combinations, but it wasn't as separate as it is today.

I'm sure there were people who used "Rotblaukohl", but it makes sense that only one colour remained.

As for the carrot, orange carrots were actually not all the common for centuries. The original plants now known as carrots were imported to Europe from the middle east and cultivated in the Netherlands, but orange carrots weren't all that common in Europe before the 16th/17th century. The base plant of the orange carrot was actually white/yellow and got its orange outside hue quite some time later, after selective breeding. I wouldn't be surprised if the carrots that were first exported to modern German areas were still yellow in colour. Gelbrübe for orange carrots makes a lot of sense, historically.

I do like the "purple yellow root" name, especially since the first carrot cultivars to reach Europe (long before orange/yellow carrots) were actually purple. I don't think they received quite the popularity carrots received, at least not much further north than the Mediterranean.
Fraud prevention is a lot more than "you don't have to respond to a bogus notice"
The new JavaScript powered constraint engine looks amazingly simple & elegant.

We definitely suffer badly trying to make the very simple example shown happen across our projects: how do we make sure everyone is using the same version of React (for example)?

I'd be curious to know how this rules engine is usable outside of Yarn. The post talks about it being used at Datadog, seemingly on their app. But I didn't see or missed info on the package itself & how it might be embedded elsewhere.

Also super notable from this release, turning off zero-install by default. Still such a neat idea. Even though most package managers are reasonably fast now, there's still often multiple hundreds of MB of files copied out of cache, for each project, and the idea of just directly using the cache without copying stuff in feels like a real nice to have, a potential big saver of disk space.
Was there any awareness that the premise was kind of goofy from the jump? Was there any concern about the optics of the failing units described by the author?

I am currently undoing nextjs out of a side project (where I spent 2 months learning react/next as it seemed like everyone knew something I didn't). I think I got pretty good at it and frankly the only useful thing I get about is it were - I think you referred to as - "isolated css". Frankly I found the whole shebang way too complicated and bloated and just was not worth being stuck to Node as a backend (I am fairly comfortable (dare I say formidable) with golang and don't see a need - for me - to switch.

On fe html/Templates+webpack (scss for variables and typescript) has taken me very far with a clean and fast build step and more importantly dependencies don't break every few months!

One downside though is remembering why a particular "css" after a while. But i am not a particularly fe/styling person so my css is simple. May tailwind is for the Uber fe/design crowd!
