Overprotective parents are much more likely to reach for a doctor whereas neglected kids are unlikely to see one until referred by the cops or school or such.
> Wow, that discussion does not warm me at all to OpenBSD. A lot of those responses seemed way more abrasive than they needed to be.

It's pretty much on-brand for them. The OpenBSD project started when the founder was kicked off of the NetBSD core team, allegedly for being rude and abrasive to users. At one point, both the FreeBSD[0] and NetBSD[1] mailing lists blocked traffic from this individual because they claimed he threatened to aggressively spam their mailing lists.

> Why are so willing to blame the law for something that the industry is doing

When a whole industry (and, mind you, pretty much any business with a website, not just those selling ads) reacts identically to a law is either a conspiracy or I can safely blame the law for that.

I live in EU and my employer has a cookie banner even if never storing any private data nor having any ads on the website. Just for Google Analytics. But GDPR is so bad that the lawyers advised us to have the cookie banner just to be safe.
I know smart, very adequate people who point out that efficient public transport, planning for walkability and (consequently) restricting private vehicles are policies that benefit authoritarianism.

Those people don’t necessarily believe in COVID vaccine chips and whatnot; their logic, pretty straightforwardly, is that it makes you depend on the government for movement.

Even though I am a staunch opponent of sprawling suburbia and I love a dense walkable city with functioning transport, I have to admit that they have a point.

It’s true that I can’t recall any relevant examples that align with their opinion. Plenty well-planned walkable cities with in democratic regions, and plenty sprawl and chaotic traffic jam hells in dictatorships. Yet I can think of a few recent examples where control over public transportation was used to suppress protests.

To dismiss their argument out of hand and refuse to empathise is to unnecessarily expand an already deep gap.

Agreed, if it's not your primary purpose for having the account then it should be fine. I did a bunch of FX through them not long after opening mine, and they sent me a polite email telling me that I shouldn't do that, which was fair enough. Much better than the "freeze account first, warn later" attitude that many other financial companies seem to have.

Now that I've been investing with them for a while, they don't seem to mind.

It's annoying how the article shows that independent activity/movement of children has declined drastically in the US and UK over the past 30 years while suicides have risen and how this contrasts to Finland where young children are much more independent. But then it somehow fails to compare the trends in teen suicides between those geographies and does not prove the point.
So little about chip success is down to just the core. Sure, some basic performance aspects, clock range, area and thus cores/chip. What about inter-core performance? Memory interface?

There's still no real synergy between CPUs and GPUs, even though they get less different with time. No one seems to have a decent plan for how to balance local memory resources with cache-coherency over CXL. Inter-system networking seems to be frozen in 1980 (just with faster serdes). Does in-chip and inter-chip optical change anything, or does it just mean littering the place with tranceivers?
It's not packaged materially differently from the other chips it's compared against. Which is what I said originally.
An eye-opening version of this is a friend of mine has twin girls. Both have the same parents, took all the same classes with the same teachers, neither got more access to something that the other couldn't but one dramatically better at school, has a higher measured iq (not just a couple of points) and just seems "sharper" when you deal with her than the other. She just somehow seems to pick up a lot of things quicker than the other. Otherwise they are both basically identical when it comes to sports and the sorts of things they are in to. They both got the same "nurture" but "nature" had something to do with it somewhere in the mix that made them pretty different.
Perhaps a build system with a very high kurtosis means the builds are usually the same.
IMO it's a combination of terrible social safety net (typical, and not specific to the US) and obsession with firearms (that other firearm-friendly countries don't have).

Owning a gun in the US is a political statement about the second amendment, which while laudable on paper is clearly a failure since none of the collective gun ownership actually does anything to keep the government/law enforcement honest (I'd argue it makes it worse as every cop is more on the edge that they would be otherwise).

This leads many people to obtain guns that otherwise have no time/desire to learn & practice responsible firearm ownership and enjoy their firearm safely without harming anyone. The firearm then mostly collects dust until it gets misused in a freak accident or falls into the wrong hands.
Well, a lack of competition. The other main players are Linux and macOS; Linux projects' open source nature stunts public appeal and Apple only cares to appeal to a small segment of the market.

She wants women's rights to be respected and not erased, and for sex rather than 'gender identity' to be the basis of women-only spaces, in law and policy.

These websites are a good introduction to what her and other feminist campaigners are asking for:

Her book is also an excellent resource on this topic, particularly on documenting the extent of institutional capture.
I'm a little surprised that the professor didn't demonstrate how the e^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x) identity can be used to quickly and intuitively show a more specific famous equation:

e^(ipi) = -1

You only have to see that cos(pi)=-1 and sin(pi)=0, giving:

-1 + i0 = -1
Hey, I don't meet a lot of people like you in real life these days. What's your opinion of the concept of comparative advantage?

To me it's the "real" mathematical law from which capitalism spawns, but it breaks down at the extremes. If the AI paperclip maximizer can produce 10^100 paperclips a day, and I can only produce 1, it might make more sense to the maximizer to take my atoms apart and put them back together in a more optimal configuration - which of course is bad news for me. I figure an actual dissident probably has a stronger criticism than me, so I'm curious.
Phind is just prompt engineering, as is anything sitting on top of anything OpenAI is building right now - if you are doing Q&A then maaaaybe it does some resource augmented generation as well (say, from Stack Overflow or other technical resources)

Phind is often recommended to me by programmers who find it produces "better" results than a naive GPT-4 session, but I don't know that anyone has done any real world testing.

I’m seeing the same thing in my area. I’m a software engineer. I make good money. Well above my areas income.

I’m considering buying a truck (to put a small truck camper in), but cannot get over the price. Dozens and dozens of used trucks that cost obscene amounts of money. Lift kits, custom rims, tints, etc. I just cannot imagine how people are affording these things.
you've got to pick up the basics of modern processor design (such as from H&P). without understanding basic pipelining, all the prediction, OoO, and superscalar stuff won't make any sense. and I think you probably need to try some asm programming for any of this to really click.
> Isn't that lack of independent mobility largely caused by car-centric urban planning?

I think this probably leaning into a bias more than anything. If this were true we'd see data going back starting from the 20s that begins to correlate to this.

What's more likely is that each generation has become successively less likely to let their kids walk to school on their own, ride bikes through town, go adventuring, etc. Combine that with that there's often limitations on spaces kids can use. I remember a lot of parking lots wouldn't let kids loiter, malls didn't want us hanging around unless we were buying, and even being in the woods by a certain time was considered suspicious.

Disagree, those are all valid interpretations, and depending on your experience you will have a vastly different understanding.

To me, the first one is the most basic and frankly, most silly definition of a 10x programmer - produces more code? really? Code sucks. Nobody needs more code, people need solutions. Solving a problem with no more code, or understanding it so a _tiny_ change solves all problems? Way better than adding code, actually much harder to synthesize and produce new results. Way more efficient.

Now can you remove things and solve the problem? Realize you can build an even more simple and generic system that solves your problem? Even more amazing.
I had a childhood friend, who often started laughing and his laughter was so contagious, so I also laughted. He was starting to laugh just because he knew I would also start to laugh. And I laughed because I knew he expects me to laugh and I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from laughing. And vice versa recursively. The whole situation was so absurd, so we were continuing to laugh just because from the outside it looked like we started to laugh for no reason.
Well, yes, I was in trouble because I was in prison already and my public defender did not pick up his phone for 6 months. In this situation, I said I am a US citizen and demanded to talk to my embassy. And after I insisted on this for two or three weeks, I was put into solitary confinement.

Even talked to one of the highest person in charge. Can you proof that you are a US citizen?
Let me call my embassy.
They did not allow this. I suggested they call the embassy but they rejected this.

I even wrote to my judge a complain and he said there "is no reason for this". I have it in writing.

In Australia, we had Malcolm Turnbul say with a smug smile on his face “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,”. This was about Australia wanting to limit encryption on the Internet.

Politicians who don't consult experts and listen to their advice make fools of themselves. But sadly the consequences of poor laws is that real people will get minced up by ill informed regulation and enforcement programs.
When "The Wire" came out, "The Sopranos", "Breaking Bad", "Better Call Saul", I thought "woo hoo! We are in the golden age of television!"

Then I read about the billions(!) being dropped into new productions of classics like "The Wheel of Time" or a spinoff of "Lord of the Rings"

This was a great feeling!

Then all of those billions started delivering. If you were _lucky_, season one was put together with tons of care and picked over. It was also based on a novel series where the author had done the same. If you were unlucky, the TV became like the radio used to be: just background stuff while you do something else. You don't even pay attention to it.

No matter what, season two almost always had the dramatic quality of a baked potato.

And heaven forbid the algorithmic numbers don't work. Then the thing is a dead series walking no matter what the quality.

You can't make quality art by throwing money at it. Very strangely, it actually has the opposite effect: people stop wanting to take risks. You can make a somewhat mathematically-sound four-quadrant marketing pitch hoping to hit the right taste clusters with a guess at whether it'll work or not, but you're not looking at emotional impact over time. Hell no. Hence the current tidal wave of edgy mediocrity.

I leave the TV on in the afternoons when I'm not working and trying to decompress. I have seen a few good series. They are all lower-budget attempts by high-quality artists using a preexisting literary work. Too often, without a solid canon of literary work, season one is great and the rest of it is just doubling down on whatever stimulus was in season one that the algorithm said people liked.

My opinion is that people are going to like "classic" TV the same way they like classic rock. There'll be something about it that they'll argue about endlessly, but there'll also be a lot of derivative work trying to recapture the lightning of actually knowing what the hell you're doing and being lucky.
I remember a time when Javascript was used as a playground to learn and add features on the web so we could incrementally add those to HTML 5 spec.

Even adding something like HTMX into HTML5 would have eliminate another 80% of JS use case.
I agree heartily with you. OpenAI may be the best, but the open models are getting good.

A weak analogy: as you might take a hybrid cloud/local compute strategy, I think it makes sense to be very flexible and use LLMs from different sources for diversity and not getting locked in. I mostly use OpenAI, but I am constantly experimenting with options. Local options are most exciting to me right now.

I usually use APIs, but OpenAI’s app that supports multi modal input images and voice conversation is impressive and points to a future mode of human computer interactions.

Exciting times!

It's possible to adapt ResNets for unsupervised learning. A popular approach is to use self-supervised learning techniques, where the model is initially trained to predict some aspect of the data (e.g., predicting a missing part of an image) without explicit labels. This is similar to masked language modeling.
NTFS has Alternate Data Streams[0] as an analog, but rarely leveraged outside of Microsoft’s use…. except for Macs[1] and AFP/SMB on NT, back in the day. Streams[2] from Sysinternals will let you read/write ADS (along with PoSh and other tools).

ADS may also be a security risk[3].

There's plenty of commutative operations in everyday programming.

a = f(c)
b = g(d)

can be rearranged if f and g take different input data, and calling independent functions is something seen literally everywhere in programming. Optimizing compilers often take advantage of that.

>FYSA: There is almost certainly lower violent crime risk and higher car risk than when you were growing up.

I agree with you and that is why I said that the problem is that we hear about every single instance now and really didn't back then unless it was a "big deal" or involved someone we knew.

>So why are you not sure about letting your 16 year old walk by himself?

I am more worried about someone fucking with him and recording it for online points (upvotes, likes, whatever) than I am about him being run over by a car. Also there is a lot more very aggressive homeless people about now than when I was young (there were zero that I remember) and their unpredictability is an issue.
For all of the novel interest in the tech and service side, I can't understand why so many overlook the value of the datasets. I've been promoting them as potential products to license, similar to textbook publishing, and a bit reminiscent of how Google used its search appliances. Automating methods of creation will be an immensely valuable service.

I've already introduced methods of instruct formatting within our org, because as the architectures change, what we learn from performing the work to organize and account for our internal knowledge will continuously pay off.
Read more history. The high ground you speak of is more a low berm.
Traffic restrictions are not part of the "15 minute city" initiatives. I think they are often confused because of Oxford's traffic filter scheme. As the article you link says, tying walkable city initiatives to one particular city's traffic scheme is indeed a conspiracy theory.

If you have valid criticisms of the traffic filter trial in Oxford then that's fair enough, although I imagine Oxonians won't be particularly interested in hearing it unless you're a local resident.
I do speak 4 languages (french, mandarin, english and spanish) and in my opinion I do think there are some language that are simpler to learn than others. For instance, if you speak any languages that are from latin than you should be able to learn other languages issued from latin as well. So if you are French, you should have more ease learning italian, spanish and portuguese. Just my two cents.
Unless you use zero-knowlege proofs, there is always a 3rd party that needs to guarantee they checked your identity.
It's important to remember that all of the videos on YT only show successful attacks. Ukraine is reportedly burning through 10k drones a month.

Russia was terrible at almost all phases of the invasion during the first year, but has really buttoned down in two areas; AD and EW. Russia has been a leader in EW for a long time and is slowly responding.

EW can't be everywhere though, and the smaller drones can avoid it in some situations since it's line of sight.

Also, don't mistake EW as just jamming. Sometimes it's taking over the control channel for a drone, or something even more esoteric like microwaves that fry the systems.
It's the opposite, high (positive) kurtosis means fat tails.
> So you want the right-wing zealots in power to eject themselves?

I want the US to force their hand to stop the invasion. Then Netanyahu's reckoning will come with the Israeli population. Likud needs this invasion to happen to distract the population from accountability. But if the US forces them to not invade, that reckoning can come sooner.

> What happens if Israel does what you say but are still suffering attacks?

That's where the DMZ and continued investment in missile defense comes in. Heck, get some security assurances from the US as part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. There should be creative solutions.
Definitely agree. As a kid, it really bugged me when there were poorly worded questions that were often ambiguous if you thought about it. I found that exam success often relied on trying to think what the questions were looking for rather than what they were actually asking - basically considering the questions in the context of the course material.
