You seem to have missed these sections:

"It turns out that when transgender girls play on girls’ sports teams, cisgender girls can win. In fact, the vast majority of female athletes are cisgender, as are the vast majority of winners. There is no epidemic of transgender girls dominating female sports. "

"The Olympics have had trans-inclusive policies since 2004, but a single openly transgender athlete has yet to even qualify."

etc.

If trans people have such an obvious advantage why aren't they dominating every single category of every single strength-involving event?

Do you need to understand graphics programming to understand "The character won't get stuck in tight places"? They seem to do this because that sounds way more practical and way less magical than "The character is more lifelike!"
You can put a USBC-to-3.5mm (or lightning) adapter on your headphones and just leave it there. Not as good as having a proper headphone jack, but it's good enough. Yes, they make combo listen & charge adapters, too.
i'd have phrased it more like building a shed vs. building a mansion or shopping mall.

you can learn a lot of basics building a shed -- pouring concrete, adding spaces for wiring, drainage, etc. -- but ultimately it's just a small one off for learning.

The app maker can screw the plug-in author at any moment.

For general cloud, avoiding screwing might mean multi cloud. But for LLM, there’s only one option at the highest level of quality for now.

People tend to over focus on resilience (minimizing probability of breaking) and neglect the plan for recovery when things do break.

I can’t tell you how weirdly foreign this is to many people, how many meetings I’ve been in where I ask what the plan is when it fails, and someone starts explaining RAID6 or BGP or something, with no actual plan, other than “it’s really unlikely to fail”, which old dogs know isn’t true.

I guess the point is, for now, we’re all de facto plug-in authors.

“Fediverse” tools are a bait and Switch. I don’t need a glorified Wordpress blog that has elaborate censorship tools built into it. Networks like Mastodon also won’t implement E2E encryption because it would throw a wrench into their ideological crusade. Sounds like exactly the kinds of people I don’t want to associate with.

I can run my own web server, serve millions of users, and provide an RSS feed with technology from 10+ years ago. The Internet is Federated by design and it works fine for me.
Yes, I think we're actually talking about the same problem from different angles.

The problem you mention in the second paragraph is sometimes called "diffusion of responsibility" [0]. A related concept about the difficulties of individual and group action is "belling the cat" [1]. You may be familiar with these, I'm just throwing them out there in case anyone reading is also interested in this topic.

Framing in terms of agency, I guess I'd say I agree with you that each agent has a responsibility or an obligation to take action. But it's not clear to me how to ensure that the actions build on each other rather than canceling each other out in the aggregate. It may take a strong person with a sense of duty to get things started but eventually they will need help.

How scary is it? I'm just not great in the horror genre but if it's mostly dark, I might give it a shot. I loved the first one.
The Simpsons Game (2007) on the 360 has an achievement for pressing the start button. It has a 93% completion rate.

So 7% of the people that bought this game (and being a console game, it never was part of any bundles) started it up and then did nothing.
What's interesting is that the Netherlands is pretty low on the list of countries with the highest percentage of people in collective dwellings (at 21% vs Spain's 65%, only the UK is lower), even though it's one of the most densely populated countries in Europe. I suppose that's the result of the mentioned "mushroom neighbourhoods"?

Great visuals btw.
What a fantastic site! Wish more titea were build this way. It was an awesome experience!
I’m an outsider living in Spain for the last 22 years, I think that while the content portrays a reality of the high rise movement in Spain, there is an angle that was missed. It is important to say that the at time draconian land laws pay an important role in the urban landscape. Not to mention that Spain relative young democracy ( we won’t talk about that the today ) also plays am important role into shaping the urban seen. Lots of change in the government parties have also lead to constrains and or retains during several periods. Ok his has mean that different areas would grow artificially dependent on the “favoritism” at play at the moment through favorable zoning changes or subsidized public housing. Albeit and thankfully at the moment, Spain has not discovers property taxes like the US, it contains growth with little planning and driven by massive speculation which has been an economic driver for major cities even with relative low occupation rates. There is also the fundamental culture of buy vs rent that drives for more flats been built to keep up with the demand. On the plus side, one the the biggest differences I have seen in Spain is a relative wide spread economic demographic in the cities, where you don’t see the major changes like most other major city across the world, it happens but it’s neither common or as drastic as the rest.
What's wrong with that, though? Forcing people who don't want to interact to interact in the name of diversity isn't likely to lead anywhere productive. Those who are so heavily invested in their political views that they don't want to speak with anyone who they don't fully agree with will be siloed, and those who want diversity can be federated more broadly.
You are laughably, childishly naive if you think he's following that guy ironically just to "watch out" for his problematic beliefs. It's so comical I have to laugh. "Guys, i follow all these nazis and terrorists to KEEP AN EYE OUT, not because i sympathize with their beliefs!! That would be silly!" Do you hear yourself?? How many stochastic terrorists, white supremacists and pedos do you follow??? lol. "Guys, i followed epstein to his island to keep an eye on him!!" Lmao what an absolute farce.
>I wouldn't be so sure about that. Hate blinds harder than honesty.

I hate things he does, not him. I don't know him. I like other things. But on the whole I think it's pretty evident simply by his twitter what a piece of shit he is. That's not even touching the wealth hoarding or business practices. Simply his politics. I pay for star link, I have commended plenty he's done literally in public on a radio show I run. You're the worshipper who believes one can't point out all flaws in the man without being a "blind hater"

It appears there simply isn't strong evidence for the reason for the redaction.

There are several views. Yours seems to be the members of the 1876 commission were either negligent when they redacted the state's obligation to the tribes, or believed it wasn't relevant any more. Neither put them in a good light.

On the other hand, there is enough evidence to cast strong doubt on the 'At the time, I doubt anyone was talking about it' statement.

The fact remains that the redaction exists, there doesn't seem to be a good reason for it, and none of the suggested reasons seem like something to perpetuate.
It seems that they have a major outage: https://status.openai.com/
The Spanish love the noise is my theory. They are a very social people. They probably think of it as comforting versus annoying, and like the person that lives next to the waterfall that can't hear it, it probably fades into the background of their consciousness.

Yeah, the most recent Zelda gives me portal or gary's mod vibes. Lots of cool things to try.
It's impossible for smart contracts that are properly coded to enable anyone to pull the funds out. Nothing is 100% guaranteed but protocols like Uniswap have been around for years, their contracts have had many professional audits, and the reward for breaking them is billions of dollars, so the odds of a bug in an Uniswap pool is very low. Other protocols pay incentives to LP the Uniswap pools. Where you expect the failure to come is perplexing, but yes you know more than me.
That’s more effort than I’d want to spend to be ad free.

As an aside,

> This had meaningful consequences, turning an organization that used to lend credence and false balance to pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and extremism into a proactive debunker, fact-checker and identifier of fringe discourse.

This isn't a good thing. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of knowledge, not a arbiter of reality.

From Information Theory we have the result that the unpredictability of a message is a measure of its information content. Ergo, deleting unpredictable ("fringe") information makes you stupid.

Also, consider that we need to learn to deal with ambiguous and false information to be able to learn to discern true information in the first place. (E.g. just like a profanity filter needs to have a list of profanities to work, eh?)

Then there is the simple truth that things that are crazy "conspiracy" nonsense sometimes turn out to be true!

Cosby is a rapist.

Epstein ran a resort for pedos.

Crypto AG was a CIA front.

Something called MK Ultra really happened.

I could go on all day. E.g. over half of the regime changes in the Twentieth Century were the result of coups, aka conspiracies.

In re: pseudoscience, there are several healing modalities that I have personal experience with, that are outside the mainstream, and all of them are decried as pseudoscience. Just because something hasn't yet been systematized by mainstream science doesn't make it not exist.
I know of a prominent author who had his article in WP deleted by deletionist activists calling themselves the "Guerrilla Skeptics"!

It's a kind of culture war: norm core skeptics vs. the weird.

Anyway, my point is that as an encyclopedia WP is weakened, not strengthened, by making it into a cultural conformity center that omits whole dimensions of human experience.
I used Linux for mixed workloads (as in, my desktop that was being used for dev work was also running multi-core molecular dynamics jobs in the background). Not sure I agree completely that the Google linux kernel is significantly better at this.

At work at my new job we run mixed workloads in k8s and I don't really see a problem, but we also don't instrument well enough that I could say for sure. In our case it usually just makes sense to not oversubscribe machines (Google oversubscribed and then paid a cost due to preemptions and random job failures that got masked over by retries) by getting more machines.
There's a reason there's other letters besides 'G', and "a minority can be hostile to another minority" isn't a new idea.

Most services have a lot more systems than OpenAI and thus it is degraded performance when a few of them don’t work. Degraded performance isn’t a good thing, I don’t understand the issue with this verbiage.

Retrospectively, a lot of the comments you made could also have been said of Google search as it was taking off (open source alternative, SETI-like distributed version, copyright on data being the only blocker), but that didn’t come to pass.

Granted the internet and big tech was young then, and maybe we won’t make the same mistakes twice, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it

I noticed a kind of sickness that seems to have taken hold of many people working in tech over the last 15 years. The belief, that nothing can be done unless you got dozens of people, millions of funding and years of time. Or maybe it's just more younger people in this space, who don't remember that we used to build social networks in our free time in our garages?

Now, maybe it's mainly a hacker news problem, because you can find people out there who just build something without thinking to much about monetization and it seems many of them consciously avoid this site.

But the willingness to be an active part in making something better seems to have dwindled and people project a powerlessness to change the status quo, when
indeed it was in the past always the technical people who were forerunners with this kind of stuff (and consequently are also at least partly to blame for the things we have now). But these days, you can't even convince many techies to stop using chrome, even if they admit to hating it.

I wonder how we get that back? How we can convince techies, that not only can they do it, but when they build it, they will come? Because they always do!

* Electricians won’t do work on office/factory/superchargers
Yeah, other Nordic unions is an interesting thought that has crossed my mind as well. Tesla, Amazon and other American companies that refuse to conform to the local customs either is or will be a problem for everyone in the region, so there's at least some incentive for them to join in.

Unionen would be a very welcome addition to the list, as would Finansförbundet. I expect we'll see a steady flow of notices this week. Fingers crossed for these two, definitely. These arrogant foreign CEO's thinking they can come to our nation and ignore the customs is so nonchalant that an example needs to be made. Imagine the reaction to a Swede trying to dictate US politics without the approval of its citizens...
> That Opusmodus has adopted MusicXML

What are some other notable and open formats for notating scores? I'd like to know the what the popular formats are, do a survey and choose one for my own work.
I was going to make the same points. Some of these are frustrated and cynical dismissals that may represent reality sometimes, but are counterproductive when taken axiomatically.

For instance, “estimates are lies” fails to acknowledge that planning must still be done in the face of uncertainty, and engineering is the best equipped to do this. The last thing you want is for the pointy hairs to just start pulling deadlines out of thin air. But recognize it’s not about putting in time, it’s about helping the business plan and setting up the team to build things the right way. If you do this well, everyone wins, but it does require the ability to work smoothly with people who don’t share your same expertise and not treat them like idiots.
In this job market, it's a little scary for me to do the same.
That's so cool. And horrifying. It's like back when Twitter was one global feed on the front page. I doubt that's intended behavior since this URL is generated by the share link.
Other than battery capacity and physical size of the phone (body and display), the Minis are identical to their non-Mini non-Pro counterparts.
DNSCurve does make some requirements around the naming of DNS servers, as the name is used to provide the keys. Making:

uz5xgm1kx1zj8xsh51zp315k0rw7dcsgyxqh2sl7g8tjg25ltcvhyw.nytimes.com.

Be the required the name of your DNS server is a bit offputting. You can always CNAME it though for better ergonomics.

I bought MyQ's Homekit bridge to allow local integration with Home Assistant. It was a bit of a pain to set up initially, and it's stupid that I have a separate device when the openers themselves support wifi natively, but it's been rock-solid.
>distributed training networks

Now that's an idea. One bottleneck might be a limit on just how much you can parallelize training, though.
The problem with the culture of "just assume people are joking" is that some people aren't joking. The background of edgy jokes was used very effectively by actual hate movements, to massive impact.

We all have to live with the consequences of that, and one of yours is that you're not getting the benefit of the doubt on nasty jokes anymore.

You need to acknowledge that something went wrong, and then consider why it did. Rather than have this naive nostalgia for an internet culture that only existed because "thick-skinned" is a euphemism for "people not actually in danger."
I mean with all due respect, there is zero innovation in Mobile left. None. Absolutely nothing is changing from Apple, Google, Samsung year over year. The updates are so incredibly tiny you have to look at it with a loupe.

And the price is $1000.
That's still not OK. Think about this: you are encrypting your traffic to prevent some third party from seeing/modifying it. But without authentication, you don't know who you're communicating with. So it could be that you're talking with the very third party that you were trying to protect from in the first place.
It’s more expensive to switch. I’ve had many conversations with support/sales.
ha thank you this got to the heart of it much more concisely than I could.
It's a huge resource sink to develop and manage your own engine (Cryengine in this case). No one wants to buy it because proper documentation, support, and updates for the engine would cost CDPR even more to produce. Making your own engine is only really feasible if you have a unique use-case that the existing engines don't provide (this is what led Bethesda to create the Gamebryo engine back in the day).

Ultimately, it's more efficient from a cost and productivity system 98% of the time to use something off-the-shelf.

There's one source of bugs that the author doesn't mention: time, and how our understanding shifts with it.

Sometimes the understanding of what a business object (or one of its attributes) represents sometimes shifts, over the course of several years. Sometimes, that shift is suble and easy to miss, like that it used to represent a desired state, and now more often represents an observed state.

Sometimes, other ways to manage some objects come about, and of the original use cases of an object or table, only some (formerly niche) use case remains.

Sometimes our use of language drifts, for example when a third-party tool is introduced that uses similar but not-quite-identical vocabulary.

All of these can lead to formerly correct behavior now being obviously wrong. Sometimes it's hard to remember the context of the original implementation, and you ask yourself why anybody in their right mind would have done what you did back then.
That may be true, and still I don't care - it's not my problem, and I don't want to waste a single CPU cycle of my mobile phone in scanning for content that I do not have.
The irony is wonderful. 'Last' is a relative term, and was poorly chosen as an attention grabbing headline. Also worth mentioning is the Internet is not the WWW, and content is so often conflated with the network that it overflows into 'academic' papers.
Oh, I thought the article was going to be about how it's because people suck at games. But I guess these days with lets plays you don't have to earn the right to see the later levels.

Your point about 20% market share being enough demonstrates the point. There’s no set percentage of customers. The wielding of power alone demonstrates the issue.

nah, L take. Have a life.

I remember going to hackathons and wanting forced timed experience to build anything. I remember going up to the companies that wanted you to build on their stuff and being surprised at their substandard APIs and how lackadaisical and unmotivated those engineering representatives were, I just didnt understand. A fortune 500 team just hanging out a hackathon with no capability or interest in providing real support?

Now I think back and I realize they just had other things to care about

The hackathon and job could be fulfilling, their DIY projects at home were more fulfilling.

Their entrepreneurial endeavors were more fulfilling.

Sure, they could be totally checked out and burned out too.

But it doesnt matter, set boundaries with your job because that definitely doesnt matter.
