That's exactly my point, though. Lots of people die from coal mining as an industry. That is largely invisible.

The health effects on the population at large are also significant, but largely invisible. Radiation? Also measurable, but largely invisible.

But often the same people who are fine with coal will tell me how terrible three mile island was and that it is evidence that we shouldn't expand nuclear.

Radiation is somehow scarier.

Hard to say without Reddit showing their traffic cards, just anecdotal evidence. Admittedly, if you're consuming big subs similar to what you'd consume on Tiktok (r/funny, r/worldnews, etc), likely little impact to traffic. I know the mods from some of the subs I follow fled (admittedly smaller readership, r/econmonitor and r/machinelearning for example). Reddit will have to show their hand when they attempt to IPO, as they then tread into securities fraud territory if the metrics are not accurate.

Did we get every spaceship control room wrong? Where the Star Trek bridge would simply morph into whatever gui objects were necessary?

I don't think there are ways specifically for 8 year olds, what one needs is an 8 year old who is motivated enough to take the route that adults take. There's no material on topics like this to 'gamify' learning Blender that will trick kids who aren't sufficiently motivated in the first place into learning it. But if your point was 'he was asking about methods for 8 year olds so your answer is irrelevant to the question', then yeah, fair enough.
I don’t think anyone supports Hamas. Even Palestinians don’t seem to truly support them, but are living in resignation as Hamas has done away with the democratic process.

To me it seems like Hamas is a puppet of foreign powers who want to destroy or harass Israel, not save Palestine. Hamas actions are designed to trigger an extreme response, but now that it’s here… most of the fallout is happening to people who don’t deserve it, don’t support Hamas, and simply don’t want to die.

Israel is currently digging a grave, but they are going to bury their reputation along with their enemies.
Moby Dick is a great book, but it's a mistake to make 16-year-olds read it. I've heard of many people reading it 30 years later and really enjoying it.
> All of the drugs also increased the number of times the participants moved items in and out of the knapsack. “Thus, if one measures motivation in terms of time spent or number of items moved, drugs clearly enhanced motivation,” the team writes. However, on average, the drugs did not increase ‘effort quality’ or productivity, measured as the average gain in knapsack value per move. Productivity was lower in all three drug conditions, compared with placebo.

This "measured as the average gain in knapsack value per move" is an unusually chosen metric. Why would it not simply be the best/total score in the allotted time. This preemptively punishes sustained effort which is one of the increased behaviors. I'd like to see this done again with a different problem, a different metric, or simply their raw data.

I interviewed at Rivian. They told me about how they needed to grant users access to things like keys, AC, ignition, etc. So they built a hierarchical, recursive group checking IAM system.

That just felt like a massive product to build and maintain for what really could have been backed by AWS iam. GCP IAM if they really really needed hierarchy. I guess I'm not surprised at this outage.
Which comments are these? I seem to be reading a wall of praise here!
From link 1:

* Since it has been abandoned by the vendor and no one has stepped up to maintain it, delete it. *

So all you have to do is commit to maintain it and it wouldn't disappear. Problem solved. You will be stepping up to do the work, right, or sticking with "someone other than me should be compelled to support this thing I want".

The reason we can have nice (weird, antiquated) things like Linux on m68k is there are people actually stepping up to do the work.

If an STL container lacks a method, it's a hint that 'here be dragons'. For example, random access of a std::list: it's possible, but you don't want the uninformed to be doing it without considering the consequences simply because it's easy to write.

What do you do about the memory allocated for the first element? That's a decision for the programmer to think about, not for the standard to enforce. A std::deque may deallocate.

Additionally, you can just do:

std::stack<T, std::vector<T>>

to get pop.

> I think the bigger concern should be around things like backing scores, soundtracks, and other instrumental music. Things that you might have paid a composer to do, or a local orchestra to perform, can be done by AI and a synth.

This was already somewhat accomplished by synths and music production software. Take any keyboardist with knowledge of composition and you can get a very realistic sounding orchestra, played by one person. Synths make air/string instruments sound extremely realistic even when played on a keyboard.

Sounds like that kind of work is almost equivalent to clerical work, yet maybe requires a bit more training effort. Although, do you really need to be a violin maestro to play for a movie soundtrack in an orchestra, are your skills being used at their limits?

So I guess we can just see what happened with clerical work and how the society responds. I guess clerks just didn't have enough "voting power".
It's been the same way with video game consoles for years.

Nope. Don't let the conmen fool you that the incremental changes in HCI justify all the new coats of paint. Form and function changes are happening in parallel.

Fashion has to change, that's just the nature of fashion. Fashion will also spin yarn to justify itself. That's also just the nature of fashion. Don't get me wrong, I want all my software to be palatable to modern tastes. But entropy always increases with time.
Yes, there definitely was and it wasn't so much driven by the tech itself as it was by the need to be seen to be doing something against perceived fraud by minorities which led to mass profiling and huge fall-out (and too little, in my opinion). It was effectively racism under a thin veneer of plausible deniability provided by technology.

Tech by itself can be bad enough, tech wielded to achieve nebulous goals without any consideration for the human side of the effects is outright dangerous.
Two observations:

(1) When studying, the extra time spent could outweigh the reduced quality of thought.

(2) Not a new point but it's strange how you can take a drug and think it has one effect when it has another.
Alternatively, ITT: people who have been through the design-to-dev handoff process and understand the comparative advantages of both teams.

Tools like this can be good for indie developers, the ones who in the past may have had to learn a bit of dev/design to release something. The division of labour is larger teams is different. The product manager may have a user research background instead of a software one. The designer may be good with semi-complete prototypes in Framer, but the responsibility for delivering production code may still rest with the dev team.

I mean he wasn’t claiming it cured him. He was just some philosophy professor who was suffering existential terror as one does at the end of life.

So then every app should be a CLI? Not sure how you can actually believe a statement like that.
Oracle, DB2 or SQLServer?

>The reducing load on the database claim is nonsense since the application would have to query the database anyway and less efficiently that the database could, avoiding numerous round trips between application and database.

Ah, but by shifting the logic to the app, I can now query multiple databases (of disparate types even! vector, document, object, relational, etc.), each optimized for its particular data and query types and combine the result. That's very....not easy in stored procedures. I can also scale out different tiers of the application based on its needs (heavy compute, gpu-based, etc.). How do you do that when everything is a stored proc on a database?

In a way you’re right, neither tells you anything about performance.

An sf90 has a v8. So does an 83 mustang, and it even has 25% higher displacement! So clearly the 2023 Ferrari is basically a fastback mustang…
That is the exact opposite of my experience. I try very hard to have the database as dumb as possible.

- Having mixed workloads on the database servers make it almost impossible to profile and tune. By definition, a database answers a lot of queries from a lot of clients. If these queries are hybrid data fetching / compute, then it's pretty much impossible to make sense of any system metrics.

- Having hybrid workloads usually lead to considering DB servers as black boxes (because you cannot make sense of their resource usage easily). This in turn leads to having hyper pumped up DB servers with both crazy RAM, crazy CPU, crazy caches, crazy SSDs and crazy HDDs.

- DB vendors of course understand the previous point, thus why Oracle switched to a "pay per core on the machine" model...

- The DB logic layer ecosystem is most of the time subpar compared to a more traditional programming language. If you depend on your DB server performing a lot of work, you will want to make these awesome queries accessible. That is, you will want stored procs, extensions, etc. Dealing with those is a huge pain to test, version, update...

- Overall all RDBMS have special SQL extensions all over the place. You're probably using tons of those without even knowing it. With time, vendor locking will become an immense burden and you'll be forced to pay millions to Oracle to keep your business running.
I can relate. Various friends took them and I never bothered. They looked like crackheads and it scared me.

I was recently diagnosed with severe ADHD by several doctors (something I've been treating as anxiety/depression for my whole life), and was prescribed lisdexamfetamine.

It makes me super calm and my thoughts organized. When I'm tired, I feel tired. If I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy. My productivity isn't insane, it's just more stable and predictable now.

I wish I had been diagnosed many decades ago.
Yup.

- software tools are cited (you often will site a paper describing the tool). If a tool generates a value and then later a bug is discovered, it's important that the tool was cited.

- one purpose of a citation is to make a clear distinction which work/words are your own and which are not. Are you making a statement because it's based on past work, your own inference, or the hallucination of a LLM? With ChatGPT it's easy to get confused

- there is also the more general issue of academic integrity. You shouldn't submit other people's/machine's words as your own

Maybe more correctly ChatGPT should be on the authors' list ;)

I'd bet that SpaceX has some huge loans and/or bonds issues outstanding, based on future StarLink revenues. There isn't that much revenue from their other sources, and "build out the network, collect the monthly fees" is the sort of business model that banks and bond investors love.

We should do our own OpenSubtitles with IPFS/Torrents or some other distributed architecture.
this is a quick anecdote from California.. a very recent paper by Google on the "AI Opportunity Agenda" starts out with very optimistic claims about AI for administering cities, the example is "timing stoplights to increase traffic efficiency and reduce carbon emissions" .. yet, what is actually implemented now in the SF Bay Area is .. automatic license plate readers at the bridges 24x7, and new Gov Newsom approved automatic speeding ticket generators on major roads in the largest cities. Traffic cameras at intersections have been implemented more and more in ten years.

How can an intelligent citizen hear "optimized traffic lights" in the industry white paper, and see "automatic speeding tickets" in reality ? What number of cars on the road are adhering to the posted limit at all times? .. let's be blunt, it is a money machine, for local govt.

Other examples of distributing public benefits, or handling public appeals, could easily see this level of duplicity. One thing is said in PR, another thing entirely is prevalent in practice with citizens.

I claim this example is relevent to the Dutch concerns because a) Netherlands is similarly diverse, crowded and high-tech, and b) national level analysis has detected potential for abuse at the local govt level on a wide scale.

It’s intriguing as a thought experiment that gives insight into how the complex physical structure of the world can emerge due to interactions of pieces according to (some known but many as yet unknown) locally embedded rules.

It seems intuitively correct as an analogy. And maybe obvious and not so new as the name claimed, as others have pointed out.

Beyond that I’m glad for him that he has Wolfram language to play with, because that seems much more practical, more about doing stuff, not just ruminating.

The question the grandparent comment wrote was "Explain why popfront would not be implemented in the current vector in O(1) by simply pointing the front pointer forward one element?"

Answering that with "there are tradeoffs and STL had to pick one" is misunderstanding the point of this question; the _premise_ of the question is that there are tradeoffs and STL picked this one and we can safely assume they have some reason; the leading question is highlighting an interesting case where the tradeoff isn't trivially obvious regarding difficult-to-use capacity laying at the front of the vector after the popfront operation happens if you implement that operation in O(1).

> And there are many hundreds or thousands of such languages and cultures competing on the internet.

Definitely! I think that on the culture side specifically, there's not very much "English-side" voice for it. Hence why I'm looking to read stories, share songs, etc. in English, so that people who don't speak the language can still find information about the culture.

Then the other prong, I guess, is helping to build out the language-learning side, so that people looking to enjoy the language have more resources to do so.

Volkswagen group has been said to have slated the sell-off of Ferdinand Piëch's "favorite toy" since his death in 2019. . . . The complicated corporate ownership structure of Bugatti-Rimac places Rimac Group as the majority stakeholder of the endeavor with 55 percent of the control. Volkswagen-owned Porsche retains the other 45 percent of ownership. Above Rimac Group sits another number of shareholders, beginning with CEO Mate Rimac who controls 37 percent of the company. Porsche controls 24 percent of Rimac Group, Hyundai has 12 percent, and "other investors" amass the remaining 27 percent.
They seem to be using RAGs to prevent hallucinations (which I imagine would be really bad in their context).
The rants about regulation being rooted in safety miss the point. As I stated before, I'm not making a claim that regulation is bad or unwarranted. What I'm pushing back on is the idea that the nuclear industry operates in a "free market." Utilities, in general, do not operate in a free market in the US. They are regulated monopolies. A startup cannot just decide to start generating electricity and tie into the grid, irrespective of whether they meet all the safety regulations. Not all regulations are safety-based but rather based on economics of scale being beneficial for the consumer. That's why it's not a free market.

So while there's a lot to discuss about the relative costs of nuclear, claiming they are the result of a free market doesn't really hold water.
