My perspective: Google is not an agent directed by morality when they interact with me, therefore I don’t allocate any morality when interacting with them. It’s a power relationship not a moral relationship.

I don't know whom to agree with. Maybe there need to be two tracks, and it might not even depend on discipline, but just personal preference. Do you love math as an art form, or as a problem solving tool? Or both?

I went back and forth. I was good at problem solving, but proofs were what made math come alive for me, and I started college as a math major. Then I added a physics major, with its emphasis on problem solving. But I would have struggled with memorizing formulas if I didn't know how they were related to one another.

Today, K-12 math is taught almost exclusively as problem-solving. This might or might not be a realistic view of math. On the one hand, very few students are going to become mathematicians, though they should at least be given a chance. On the other hand, most of them are not going to use their school math beyond college, yet math is an obstacle for admission into some potentially lucrative careers.

At my workplace, there's some math work to be done, but only enough to entertain a tiny handful of "math people," seemingly unrelated to their actual specialty.
> Get VC funding, run at a loss and burn through money but gain a monopoly market share, and once you've done that you can raise your prices

Slightly off topic, but the business plan of most startups seems to be "get VC funding, and exit". What you wrote may be the business plan of VCs.

I don't understand the valuation of many startups these days (even in the hypothetical case where they capture 100% of their potential market one day).
I panicked when a url typo sent me to an adult site at work.
It indeed helps, but it is not a full 'solution': you could still in theory envision elaborate backdoors in the 'environment' in which the ISO is built. If you really want to 'solve' the problem describe there, you could look into Diverse Double Compiling (https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/) or bootstrapping the entire environment (https://bootstrappable.org/) - see also the 'Aren’t there bootstrap problems with the above approach?' section of the post.

Reproducing the build already goes a long way in making such attacks increasingly unlikely, though.
With SwiftUI I think it’s quicker because you’ve got lots of the necessary things to build a quick apps.

> They still travel at the same "speed" that they normally would around an atom

Can you unpack "speed" there?

I figured the speed of an electron in an orbital was the same as the speed of the atom.

Certainly there's some energy associated with it being in that particular orbital, and if it takes on more energy then the region in which it might be measured will expand, but it's not like zooming around in there is it?

I think it’s just the reality of how many bells and whistles there are, especially with ray tracing. It looks really good, it doesn’t seem unoptimized (generally you’d expect weird hitches in stuff like that, I definitely noticed that in Baldur’s Gate 3 with lighting effects) there’s a sumptuousness and wetness and warmth in all the right places to the environments that really feel like you’re walking along a path at sunset in an old growth forest.

The feature sets involving AI in the newest cards are really the key, I think, and why my last gen premium card is lagging behind. DLSS 2.0 on the 4080 and 4090 especially are just revolutionary in how they work. The last gen cards just can’t quite keep up. It’s like magic, making frames out of seemingly thin air.

In my opinion this is a good problem to have! I’d rather have games pushing the state of the art than sticking to what the PS5 and Xbox whatever it’s called these days can do.
Apple devices aren't engineered to last; they're engineered to be manufactured, sell new, and sometimes sell expensive repairs by them.

Also, NVIDIA cards in eGPUs and Thunderbolt (arm64) aren't supported.

The best solution is either don't use Apple, or have a machine under warranty and very good backups.

Complaints aside, the Anker 777 dock does 5K-8K DP over USB-C, 1 GbE, 100w charging, 4 USB-A and more and works with m1 and m2 MBPs. Add a quality magnetic USB-C connector, and it's "MagSafe" docking to a monitor, power, and accessories with one cable. I'm in the camp of 1 giant 49" monitor, with occasional AirPlay to a nearby Apple TV 4K on an 85" TV.
Looking at how they run their rental business, and the staffing at agencies and airport desks, yes I think they would cut corners on maintenance also.

Many organisms have just a handful of neurons yet exhibit complex behavior that would be impossible given the weighted connections model. Not to mention single-celled organisms that exhibit ability to navigate.

The model can be the closest working model but that doesn't mean it is complete. It's very likely that cells can store memories/information independent from weights.

Why Do Mainframes Still Exist? What's Inside One? [video]
I generally agree that for refugees this actually happened to (not their descendents), allowing them back (or compensating them for lost property) is a reasonable request (assuming they are willing to live in peace with their new neighbours). However i think it should apply to all refugees from that conflict including jews who were displaced of which there were a significant number of from what i understand. I can't support anything that is a rule for one side if it isn't applied to the other equally.

For cases where the original person is now dead (1948 was 75 years ago), i think its reasonable that that person's descendents should split appropriate compensation.

What im getting at here is - if someone was driven out and owned a 1 bedroom apartment, they are only owed a 1 bedroom apartment. If they had 50 grandchildren they are still owed only the single apartment not 50 apartments, one for each heir.

The other big issue is this was 75 years ago. Much of this property probably doesn't exist anymore. I think due to pure practicality, cash compensation would have to be the way to address this issue.
Wow, this is amazing work!!
I've heard of needing to stay for X years after Company pays for tuition.
I've heard of signing bonuses of $1-10k that only pay out if you stay for X years (dumb name, that's a "thank you for staying for 2 years" bonus, not a signing bonus).
I've heard of vesting schedules where the company helps you fund a 401k and annually increases the percentage you could take if you quit up to 100% after X years.

I have never heard of something as predatory as immediately approving your employees for a $100k loan at 0% APR that's only forgiven if they stay for 2 years.

I don't care how pretty the bow on the box is, it's still a box of poop.

You should expect it from a US regulatory agency and to have the same accompanying enthusiasm that you would expect with tax collection.

They have no choice whatsoever in these steps. Instead of worrying about this regulation, the worrisome component should instead be the broader tumult that this historical inflection promises. This exact series of events was eerily predicted a couple of decades ago by Rees-Mogg.

Might not be, it could be bacterial evolution. While temperatures shouldn't be ruled out bacteria and viruses evolve much more rapidly compared to multi-cellular organisms. In fact DNA of multi-cellular organisms are often altered by them. Not by much, but enough we can track if our ancestors experienced the bubonic plague in DNA.

I think it is possible to assume they acclimated and became stronger maybe due to the introduction of fertilizers.

Not really? The point is that most artificial neural networks are started from basically zero (random noisy weights), where as a human neural network is jump-started with an overall neural structure that has been shaped by millions of years of evolution. Sure, it's not fair to compare the overall energy required to get there, but the point is just that a biological neural network starts with a huge headstart that is frequently forgotten when talking about efficiency.
This is fascinating, such that I went looking for more information on this phenomenon and found an interesting preprint regarding the polymorphism of ritonavir suggesting that specific milling processes are able to reliably produce each form.

>bounced off the surprise rise of the kerb, and it hurt before I hit the ground.

Sounds like a form of phantom pain. I don't know the exact term but it is a well studied phenomenon. one that, AFAIK, isn't fully understood.

But yes, your brain can very much lie to you. Just look up how much post processing your brain will do to help you see the way you see.

>Sometimes I can switch the pain off on purpose, sometimes I can't.

yeah, we have chemicals in our body to do that. It doesn't turn off pain automatically because it is in fact a good thing to realize when you're bleeding out of your leg. It only turns that off for you semi-voluntarily if your brain involuntarily determines (again based on other chemicals) that GTFO is more beneficial to survival than tending to your wound. I'm not going to say it's impossible to train these excretions of chemicals. I will argue that this is probably something you can train for years to do and fail, though.

There's so much about our bodies that still eludes the brightest minds. Even a function as basic as sleeping and why and how it benefits us is still not fully in our understanding.
Most of the LED bulbs I've gotten have lasted quite a while (multiple years). I just recently replaced a front porch light that was about 10 years old. Granted it was controlled by a motion/light sensor so it wasn't on all night, but OTOH it was outside in the heat and the cold for 10 years.

IME the worst are the ones that get really hot. I've had multiple (rather expensive) LED spotlights like that in my kitchen which never lasted more than a year or so.
If you say so.

You're getting downvotes but what you say follows logically, we all suffer to some extent, we all die at some point. The distinction between maid eligible cases and ineligible cases seems arbitrary to me.
While I would love testing reproducibility more systematically, it would not really have helped for the Python 3.10 regression: in this case we knew full well that it would break reproducibility even before we merged the change, but the performance advantage it unlocked seemed too big to ignore. Such trade-offs are luckily rare - I'm happy that with Python 3.11 we can now have both :)
Are there any promising paths towards preventing this? Seeding clean rooms with other chiral molecules that can encourage the lost higher energy form of a crystal, maybe?
The people making and passing these laws are 70-100 years old and not only have no idea what encryption or p2p is - they start deleting their gmail emails in their browser when their laptop pops up an out of space message.

My favorite goto in these discussions - the Australian PM saying that the laws of Australia override the laws of mathematics, when talking about encryption. You heard that right an old bald guy who doesn't know how to use the second mouse button because mice don't have buttons - they have ears and a tail - is legislating to break AES256. You just have to pass a law to break it you see, and then the math law will have to obey the overriding Australian law.

Here's the thing though - that's not what this is all about, and these old hags have a very well-versed body of people behind them pushing the agenda. The reason the old hags sound like clowns, is because they are puppets with clown makeup. The goal here, is exactly what you said. Prohibition of encryption, because the people in power want more till they're kings, and they want to see everything you do so they can stay kings. In reality, none of this is meant to be enforced. It is however meant to pile up bogus charges and remove you from the public eye where you can make noise against them, once they decide to remove you for any other reason they want.

I went on a quest last year to reduce latency on my desktop and code using an 8khz polling speed mouse, a pro gamer keyboard, and two 1440p 165hz monitors. I read a fascinating article here on Hacker News about it (in November 2022, I’d have to look up the article) Anyway, it feels great. If you’re wanting things to feel faster consider these upgrades! I highly recommend them. For the first few weeks it’d feel like I had started typing before I started typing which was a weird experience. I’d just become so used to a ton of latency.
> And a small service can go under anytime, without any real warning.

Both large and small providers could make the ground from under your feet disappear, in different ways. But only the small provider has a real incentive to actually keep you, as just one customer. It’s only when a small provider goes out of business completely that you have any risk. And that’s unlikely to happen, unless they’re delusional or funded by squirrel-minded VCs – which are things you can determine beforehand.

OkCupid was awesome. I met my wife there ten years ago. We were a 93% match! Had many of the same (or similar) answers to the personality questions.

Interestingly, a few months before meeting my now wife, I dated a girl I met on Meetup who also happened to be on Match. Our relationship only lasted a few months. We were a 72% match or something like that. Go figure!

You would think hospitals would be because they pay the high cost for doctors.

I think rather it is a collective action problem.

Hospitals don’t want to invest 150k per resident to have that person leave the day they are done. It is common for doctors to do residency where they can and then move.

A better option would be for the fed to cut residency funding entirely and have hospitals pool resources themselves.

It's an apples-to-oranges comparison. They're both fruit that grow on trees, but that's where the similarities end.

The primary difference, and likely the reason that brains are unreasonably effective, is the specifics of the architecture and internal representations (in the rigorous, information-theoretic sense) of its computational systems. It's not quite analog but it uses analog means. It's not quite digital but it does process via abstractions.

You can still reasonably call the brain a "computer" if you decide it can shed the laden history of that word and its close association with binary operations using transistors. You can do so because it uses internal structures to process inputs and emit outputs. But like I said above, it requires a generalized interpretation of the word to start to understand where and how the two fields of study may be unified.
It's a pity there's not a good indication of how many of these MAID deaths fall into the "certain death within (say) six months otherwise" category.

After I graduated from college, I exclusively got dates online through various websites (this was pre-tinder, so no hookup sites) because I hated approaching women at bars. This did result in some shorter-term relationships (a few years each), but nothing long-term.

I didn't meet my wife until I joined a language meetup. I met lots of friends through this group and after 5 years, I started dating my wife and we have now been married for almost 9 years.

The meetup is gone, but I'm still friends with the core members of the group (we are all married now. I think there are 5 couples that met their spouses from the group) and we meet on a monthly basis.

Shared-activity groups are the best thing outside of college because you are more likely to meet someone compatible due to your interests.
