It would seem most likely that some things were ideal 90 years ago and some things are ideal today. In other words, it's not that government or society gets better over time in all vectors. Certainly it regresses on many of them over time, and some things suffer from atrophy and entropy, even things that may have been a good idea at the time may no longer serve their intended purpose, or may hold society back on some vectors due to over investment in programs designed decades ago.
Are you sure?

Can you point to a concrete law stating this?

'Tis the season for college football bowl games in the US, but mostly submitting this because I think it's an interesting case of how history has led to the bizarre state of things today, and how one sometimes has to go way back to fully understand why the "obvious" solution (why isn't there just a playoff bracket?) wasn't used.

I remember reading a study that a classic bell curve doesn't exist for home schooled students - all students reached a certain level of aptitude. However, if you graph "time taken to reach target aptitude", the bell curve comes back.

Unfortunately now I can't find where I read that despite extensive searching. I want to say it was attributed to Maslow.

Anyway, this article claims the exact opposite by saying people learn at the same rates.

All the efforts to get computers to play chess mostly like humans do were made to look insufficient by a large enough neural network that took zero knowledge of human position evaluation, which just played against itself an outrageous number of games.

The plane is in many ways lesser than birds, and we barely understood aerodynamics when the wright brothers gave us a working plane: While the bird is efficient, we had a whole lot more thrust. Our planes are far better than they were back then, but not because we understand bird better, but because we focused on efficiency of the simpler designs we could build. The Formula 1 car doesn't come from deep understanding of the efficient, graceful running movements of the cheetah.

Our results in medicine have been far and ahead of our understanding of biochemistry, DNA, and in general, how the human body works. The discovery of penicilin didn't require a lot of understanding: It required luck. Ozempic and Viagra didn't come from deep understanding of the human body: Resarchers were looking for one thing, and ended up with something useful that was straight out unintended.

We might be able to build AGI with what we know of brains, we might not. But either way, it's not because we need to understand the human mind better: Do we have enough compute for a very crude systems that we know how to build to overcome our relative lack of understanding?

So if you ask me, what is the height of hubris is to think that working engineering solutions have to come from deep understanding of how nature solves the problem. The only reasonable bet, given the massive improvements in AI in the last decade, is to assume that the error bars of any prediction here are just huge. Will we get stuck, the way self-driving cars seem to have gotten stuck for a bit? Possibly. Will be go from a stochastic parrot into something better than humans, the same way that Go AIs went from pretty weak to better than any human in the blink of an eye? I'd not discount it either. I expect to be surprised either way.
Learning a second programming language is always easier than the first, or rather second language within a paradigm. Going from C++/Java to Prolog is for example a really alien experience. But to C#, its largely just syntax.

> Aristotle called it the "unnatural birth of money from money"

In a Malthusian economy, i.e. zero real growth, a condition which characterizes most of antiquity, this makes sense. Rulers borrowing to take a calculated risk usually meant conquest, i.e. violently taking others' stuff.

The economic and moral calculus changes in a positive-sum game, where risk can increase the size of the pie for all. So some of this variance may be explained by whether the thinker lived in a stable or growing era.

Financial yield traces its roots directly to crop yield. (The grain markets in Ancient Rome are a great example of markets working without stable conceptions of money and banking [1].)

I’m not an expert on this, but China seems huge and also spread out, and they have much better HSR coverage than basically anyone else.

Air travel is a problem when it comes to emissions because there really aren’t any viable alternatives, where as you could pretty much sub in nuclear + renewables for anything else energy/transportation wise and the math makes sense after a large investment. Knocking overland air travel out and replacing it with high speed rail cuts down a ton of air travel, and replaces it with something that is almost trivial to run on cleaner energy.

Another part of that comment you were responding to dealt with comfort and convenience, and having ridden HSR in Japan and Europe, I much prefer it to air travel. Air travel sucks and it’s only getting worse as fuel costs more. If you’re not flying business, you’re basically treated the same way livestock is treated, with a multi-hundred dollar or thousand dollar price tag to add to the insult. I’ll vote for my tax dollars going to HSR all day, “boondoggle” or not. I remember in Massachusetts the big dig was marked as such, but man has it worked. Tunnels under the city where you can drive 45 rather than elevated roads or no roads or surface streets, yep it was expensive but it’s so much better. I’m willing to bet with my tax dollars and ballot measure votes HSR will be the same.
True story: I adopted a pit bull mix (mostly beagle, I'd guess) and she was a wonderful dog. One day she chased a rabbit (in Conejos county, so yeah, rabbits were pretty common) that ran under our car. It drove her nuts trying to get at it. She left teeth marks all around the right front passenger tire well.

We loved her so much we left it like that. It's a great conversational piece for fellow dog lovers.

Rabbits were so common that once we took our car in to have the oil changed. The guy opened the hood and a rabbit jumped out. He asked us if it was our pet....

Technically, it's "everyman's Springfield", which is the one in your state. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-simpsons-creator-matt-groen...

When an entire nation has bought on the idea that X is desirable, lobbyists can only go so far: you might as well ask why American factory owners don't lobby against Thanksgiving breaks.

Another complication is that subway stations reliably increase real estate prices, and in Korea everybody desires higher real estate prices for their town. (Of course we then complain that the prices are too high and vote for the opposition. And then we demand the new government to increase real estate prices just for my town. The cycle continues. Don't ask me why, it's a whole can of worms.) In Korea, a company lobbying against subway would fare about as well as a company lobbying for real estate tax hike, that is, very poorly.

"Fair" depends on what you're using it for. Parking at airports can be expensive, but parking at Tokyo or Kyoto station is more so. The stations themselves are more confusing and less well-signposted than an airport. And if you want to take oversize luggage (e.g. a surfboard) that's a moderately priced upgrade on a plane but completely impossible on the Tokaido Shinkansen.

No comparison is perfect. The best you can do is talk about both the positive and the negative so that people can understand and make the best choice for their circumstances. Price should absolutely be a part of that conversation.

I think the target was special limited-edition runs of coins which have above-denomination value. But yes, a lot of theft seems pointless.

A case in Brisbane involved a parking-meter attendant who had a gambling habit and sifted coins out of the street meters to put into slots. hundreds and thousands of them, over a career. If you steal below some threshold, the back end smarts (pre-digital) didn't "see" the discrepancy between meter state, and cash inputs. Probably some smart stats showed the anomoly, and then time series analysis showed when it cropped up.

All to pull a lever.

The smart ones manufacture error coins that sell for thousands of dollars - there were many made in the 1970s that combined Australian/New Zealand/Fijian obverses and reverses.

Hey. I'm the author of the post. Thanks for sharing the pricing link.

We've added everyone who signed up for the waitlist and will likely continue on this pace. We've just implemented it to scale the load on the service gradually, and once we have more real-world signup patterns, we'll be able to allow direct signups.

Right now, the CI/CD runners are linux based, and each tier has various limits on the number of minutes. It works out to about 200 minutes per user. Extending to be able to use other OSes is definitely on the roadmap.

If you sign up for the waitlist and then go into the dashboard you'll be able to see the exact limits of what you can sign up for (space, bandwidth, etc..), and also the discounts per tier.

This Supreme Court is, and always has been, political. The idea of the "textualist" or "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution as a philosophy is just propaganda invented in the 1980s shortly after the Federalist Society was founded.

This court seems determined to overturn Chevron [1], which is the basis for deference given to administrative bodies empowered by Congress, the so-called "administrative state" (or "deep state" depending on how far down the rabbit hole you are).

It's the same politics behind the major questions doctrine [2]. This was an approach invented by this court that basically says in matters of statutory interpretation if the issue is sufficiently large, which is subjective, then Congress needs to be absolutely explicit in the powers granted. This was used to deny student loan forgiveness because even though the exeuctive was granted this power, the Court decided the amount was large enough that Congress had to be more explicit.

Put another way: the legislative branch is overruling both the legislative branch that drafted a law and the executive branch that signed it into law. It's quite literally legislating from the bench.

Chevron is another prong in the attack on executive authority. Instead of deferring to experts in the various departments, Congress would need to decide every matter. So if the law isn't explicit enough (according to SCOTUS) then Congress would need to decide every little thing with new laws.

This is untenable. Congress doesn't have the bandwidth to, say, decide fish quotas or hunting seasons or, more importantly, things like what constitutes "clean water" and the allowed actions to enforce that.

This is a very deliberate attack on government itself. It's a form of deregulation to transfer even more wealth to the hands of the very few. Why? Complying with regulations costs money. That's what this is about.

Here's an attempt at using transformations between languages to see what happens:

Prompt: "A unicorn and a rainbow walk into a tavern on Venus"

GPT4V instructions: "Write a prompt for an AI to make this image. Take this prompt and translate it into a different language understood by GPT-4 Vision, don't say anything else."

Results: https://dalle.party/?party=ED7E056D

I wasn't happy with the diversity of languages, so I modified the instructions for a second run of ten iterations using the same prompt as before:

GPT4V instructions: "Using a randomly selected language from around the world understood by GPT-4 Vision, write a prompt for an AI to make this image and then make it weirder. Just return the prompt, don't say anything else."

Result: https://dalle.party/?party=c7-eNR24

The languages it selected don't look particularly random to me which was interesting.

@z991 -- I ran into an unexpected API error the first time I tried this. Perhaps your logs show why it happened. It appeared when the second iteration was run:

"Error: You uploaded an unsupported image. Please make sure your image is below 20 MB in size and is of one the following formats: ['png', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp']."

I don't have enough information to really say if it's the right call, but the judge's verdict that including all Ohio residents in the class and the named plaintiff not actually tying harm to the defendants sounds reasonable. That doesn't mean a better case can't continue later.
Using a different identifier isn't sufficient to satisfy a right to be forgotten request. The user's identity could still be inferred from comments, for instance.
Ah, so if the pollution is widespread enough, it’s impossible to trace the blood-borne PFAS of the plaintiff directly to the defendants. Good job PFAS is everywhere now.

>Massive IO performance over KVM due to the emulated NVME driver.

That is incorrect. It's faster than KVM's virtio, not faster than KVM's NVMe. They didn't bother to test KVM's NVMe virtualization[0]. To quote your source: "As it turns out, bhyve/NVMe isn’t just faster than bhyve/VirtIO—it’s faster than KVM/VirtIO as well" They're comparing apples to oranges. Why would they do that?

"Meet the Author: Jim Salter"

Oh, that's why.

>Bhyve may be juvenile compared to KVM but it seems to have a better design

Likely not, debatable.

>better license.

Debatable, but I get it.

>also bhyve runs on SmartOS too, and I think Bryan is going to be more comfortable with a Solaris OS under the hood

Most definitely why. KVM uses a lot of Linux kernel specific interfaces and functions. Bhyve is easier to port due to this.

That reminds me of when I had a computer with spinning rust hard drives on my desk in grad school. At some point I was trying to focus but there was a periodic, roughly once a second hard drive noise that was driving me nuts. Went through the usual suspects at the time like the background locatedb updater, and eventually ended up finding that some bot was trying to ssh login once per second going down a list of passwords, and the errors were being logged to disk. Need I mention the computer had a public IP address?

>Yes, it is unethical to pirate content you don’t own the rights to.

It is difficult for me to tell from context the definition of "to pirate content" you (and others) are using. Pirating content means: using copyrighted materials to which you hold no rights for the purpose of making money.

Most important to the conversation: "pirating content" does not include the act of watching a video; listening to a song; reading something; etc that is online. Just as it is not illegal to listen to a song being played in the park; or to watch a movie being broadcast against the side of a building; or to read a book left on a park bench.

If you try to sell any of those things, then that is illegal. But you can listen or watch or read all you want. In the public park or the public internet.

If you have something that indicates otherwise, I would be very appreciative if you would provide me the details so I can read it directly. Thank you.
Oh wow, reading this makes me deeply uncomfortable in an odd way. Like it could pollute my brain and somehow it would become normal to say things like that. I didn't dare read it all.
Without access to unlimited taxpayer underwritten loans, students will not have money to give to schools.

And one can safely assume schools are already cramming students as much as they can to maximize budget for other expenses that benefit administration.

In any case, the number of students should be declining for a very long time, so they will have to figure out how to compete for the students’ business.

I had an argument with my wife about funding our public libraries. (We live in NYC which I believe supports 3 out of the top 10 public library systems in the country. Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan maintain separate library systems.)

I am happy for my tax dollars to support the system, but the bottom line is that branch libraries exist as a free, under-resourced Internet cafe for the indigent. That might be a good use for the public fisc, but the librarians and books are completely ignored.
