Well if alcohol itself is irrelevant why did they not simply boil the water before drinking it without making a beer from it?

I think the fact that people just like to drink beer is a much better explanation of why did they drink so much of it. The "safer to drink" part was secondary at best.

They’re pretty fond of disclaiming obligations and not being sued in real courts, though. The key thing is recognizing that most of the libertarian media exists to serve the funders’ interests, not to promote a coherent ideology.
I wish there were more explanation for why this work. There is a proof but a more opinionated description would also help.
My summary of it is that parallel prefix sum is work efficient for computing general recurrences of the form xi = x_i-1 + yi. Furthermore, a product of elements can be expressed as a sum by taking the sum of the log of elements and exponentiated the result. These are two super useful properties, but merging the two operations to this general formulation is not clear.
Is it simply sum the logs, and the addends via prefix sums, and then sum those two results? That seems pretty straightforward, so I suspect I am missing something that makes the solution less obvious and more complexity.
Is there some fancy fixed point combinator, or solution to a differential equation of the linear system for the recurrence equation?
Work from home, open office plans, conference room count, not using Microsoft teams, the kinds of snacks in the microkitchen, a limit on the number of meetings, no scheduling meetings for 8am tomorrow after 4pm, perf reviews at most once per year, a declared bonus and raise schedule, paychecks not being late, not getting infinitely diluted on next series raise; the list goes on.
So much food waste exists because food is incredibly cheap. Like, most of the time money spent recovering waste to give to the poor would be more effective if you just bought more food with it. That’s how cheap it is, and that’s why nobody follows economic incentives to recover the waste without further prompting (there aren’t such incentives).
Because it’s trained on “real” people, will it be easier to generate ugly people? I have a hard time convincing DALL-E to give me ugly DnD character portraits.

Even before partisanship made Congress functionally useless, they were deferring a lot of rule-making power to executive branch agencies. That was a reasonable thing to do. There are only a few hundred Congresspeople; they have neither the time nor the expertise to determine every detail of every regulation. So they set up agencies that are supposed to hire experts to provide those details.

The Patent Office is one of those agencies, and that gives the Executive Branch a fair bit of power to nudge the rules without Congress' help. It would be great if Congress weren't fundamentally useless, but it's just not the case, and so government governs with what power it has.

That comes down to a billion details by a billion different players (most notably the 800 pound SCOTUS gorilla). But it is entirely possible that the Patent Office could say, "See this rule here? Turns out we shouldn't have granted you that patent in the first place." That is very much a power they have.

They'd rather not do it that way. It's bad policy. So they're starting gently, by pointing to what weight they do have to throw around, and hoping that the pharma execs do the right thing. It might even work; we've already seen similar effects bring down the price of insulin (even if it's still three times the price of any first-world country).

It would be even better if Congress were to sit down and write decent legislation instead. But my unicorn and I won't be holding our breaths on that.

I regularly treat my 25-ish team to all-you-can-eat (AYCE) buffets (until recently, almost every week). What I observe, which could be country-specific, there are two kinds of "ideal" customers:

1. Family with kids. The kids don't eat much.

2. Couples. The female doesn't eat much. I honestly don't understand why they go to AYCE.

I'm surprised to learn that in the US the ticket is $20. In Indonesia, with a minimum wage of only $320/mo, it's around that price too! ($10 to $20). Also in most AYCEs here you're limited to 90 minutes.
As commenter below said, this sounds reasonable until you remember that Facebook content incited Rohingya genocide and the Jan 6th coup attempt.

I don’t see how that’s an obvious comparison at all? Food has a per-unit cost, while data packets (which is what I think you actually meant, not bandwidth) have at most a marginal cost that is nearly zero once bandwidth has been built and allocated.

the response:

The humor stems from the contrast between the caption and the person’s expression. The caption “Me after being asked to ‘throw together’ more content” is juxtaposed with the person’s tired and somewhat defeated look, suggesting reluctance or exhaustion with the task, which many can relate to. It’s funny because it captures a common feeling of frustration or resignation in a relatable way.

Interestingly, when asked who that was, it couldn't tell me.
It looks like this is talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_reversal_signal_processin... but if so it's unclear what the innovation is, since that's been done for decades in the optical domain.
I don't think I would ever use this project, and I especially would not pay for it.

From scanning the website and documentation, it seems like a less useful debugger than currently available open source tools. I really have no idea what this project is trying to achieve.

and then there's this:

> Yes you need an account to use recompyle.

> The account is used to validate the license. Nothing more.

> The only thing send to our server is a hash of your "machineId"

> The App run on you computer, your code is private and not send to our servers.

> No analytics or error tracking.

You expect me to simply trust your word that this debugger won't do anything nefarious? Not a chance.
Here the problem isn't that the AI was trained on Mickey, but that it generated Mickey. The generated images can still violate copyright if too similar to copyrighted artwork - if published.

I think AI companies are working hard on preventing generated images from being similar to training images unless the user very explicitly asks the result to look like some well known image/character.
Terrific explanation, and it matches my experience running a data science team. I encourage my team to start with the simplest possible approach to every problem, which requires understanding how different algorithms work. Does this project require a t-test, XGBoost, a convolutional neural network, something else? What if we recode the dependent variable from numeric to binary?
I once went to an all-you-can-eat buffet in Bulgaria with a mechanism I'd never seen before.

The salads and starches and suchlike were all self-service, and waiters toured the room with big skewers of freshly roasted meat they'd carve right in front of you. But of course they'd only serve you a certain amount, and they weren't very fast to make a return visit. Thus limiting diners' consumption of the more expensive items, unless the diner was very patient.

Of course, the prices were very fair and we all left well fed.
And what is the market share of those phones on the mobile device market?
Trading in commodities futures has a point, but it has gotten absolutely ridiculous in scope. The market participants used to be farm collectives, mining companies on the one and large wholesalers and consumers on the other side as a way for both to hedge against price swings... but that's no longer the case. Hell even if you just look at the last 10 years, trading volume has exploded by ~3x (futures) / ~5x (options) [1] - but there is no economic fundamentals (e.g. production amount of farms or raw material mines) to support this, it's all financial mind-fuckery that skims off billions of "fractions of cents per transaction" and redirects them to a select few very rich people.

This kind of predatory leeching has to stop, once and for all.

You should have gone with firefighters.

Cops famously never act in solidarity with other workers. In fact, they actively work against workers' rights.

Cops "over policing", or more accurately, "targeting", most certainly violates certain fundamental rights. A mailman not delivering packages to some company offices does not.

I agree with you here. For boilerplate stuff I can never remember it's fine.

With more advanced use cases I find the LLMs better at exploring a problem space and possible solutions rather than providing a solution full stop. Being able to refine a problem down into a digestible chunk the AI can take a bite of does require human level understanding that's hard to get if you haven't 'done the work' to have good fundamentals.

My favorite is libertarians who use buffets as an example of why they don't pay taxes. "I don't pay for the salad bar, I get to eat steak, I can't choose where my taxes go". Except you literally do pay for all the wilting lettuce as you eat your steak. You don't get to tell them to un-order the lettuce and un-stock the salad bar just because it violates your NAP.

There are many economics lessons to learn from buffets. And people tend to learn zero of them.
My dopamine hit comes from people using my stuff.

When I fix a bug, add a feature, or write some docs, I experience the resolution of anxiety. I'm just so worried my stuff isn't good enough, will confuse users, and so forth.

It feels very similar to my compulsion to pick up litter. While hiking, walking the dog, etc. I. Just. Can't. Stand. Seeing. Trash. Every. Where. It really takes me out of my happy place. I'm just so much more relaxed, resolved when litter (or bugs) are gone.

Yes, I've been working chilling out.
Facebook has decided to act as the proxy and archivist for a large portion of the world's social communication. As part of that work, they have personally taken on the responsibility of moderating all social communication going through their platform.

As you point out, making decisions about what people should and should not be allowed to say at the scale Facebook is attempting would require an impractical workforce.

There is absolutely no way Facebook's approach to communication is scalable. It's not financially viable. It's not ethically viable. It's not morally viable. It's not legally viable.

It's not just a Facebook problem. Many platforms for social communication aren't really viable at the scale they're trying to operate.

I'm skeptical that a global-scale AI working in the shadows is going to be a viable solution here. Each user, and each community's, definition of "desired moderation" is different.

As open-source AI improves, my hope is we start seeing LLMs capable of being trained against your personal moderation actions on an ongoing basis. Your LLM decides what content you want to see, and what content you don't. And, instead of it just "disappearing" when your LLM assistant moderates it, the content is hidden but still available for you to review and correct its moderation decisions.
People ordering parts would probably be familiar with the major sellers like Arrow, Digikey, and Mouser.
Author of the book here — 100%. The idea is to release early and update on the go. You might wonder if it's worth delving into the book in its current, unfinished form. I'd say it depends.

There's quite a bit of content around general DE knowledge. However, the anticipated design patterns are still in the works. Suppose that's what you're most excited about. In that case, you'll find the beginnings of exploring the patterns of `caching` and `ad-hoc querying` in the first Convergent Evolution chapter, but otherwise, you need to wait for more.
That's absolutely insane. Too bad prohibition created organized crime and gun control in the US.
Sure but housing is a municipal and state level issue while this mine is on federal land. Your argument is maybe relevant to explain why it was 14 years between discovery and being granted approval in 2021 just before Biden took office. But I don’t know the timeline of how long it took to get the approval once filed - do you? Couldn’t find anything online.

Your argument would be stronger about the Maine mine but this mine was approved in 2021 and afaik production is ongoing.

The mining is being done by the Chinese as Lithium Americas’ majority owner is a Chinese company. GM has already invested 650M to get access to the mine. This does not seem like the right hill to argue about bureaucratic lethargy. And again, I don’t see how any of this has any relevance as to whether America has the capability to build and run a lithium mine - we do. We may not have refining capabilities (not sure - haven’t researched) but that’ll come online once we have significant mining operations.

At the end of the day, you don’t want to mine too aggressively because you’ll shoot yourself in the foot economically. The US has some of the largest lithium reserves in the world. This mine alone would represent 25% of the world’s current production capacity. Ignoring environmental damage from mining (which is quite considerable), if you bring it online too quickly you’ll lose out on a lot of money which is probably a larger factor than anything else.

Frankenphp v1.0.0
It does, actually. For example, the reason why no other browser has the equivalent of Firefox containers is because they are the only ones with an architecture that allows for such isolation. Users of Vivaldi have been asking for containers for years now, and every time the dev team explains that they'd love to do it, but it can't be done without forking Blink and doing some massive surgery on it - at which point you again end up with your own thing, and have to play catch-up every time Google pushes yet another "standard" onto the web.
I'm just saying, I've used and tried to get people to practice WoT with OpenPGP on the order of a decade or more. There simply isn't a demand for protected communications because normies haven't started suffering at the hands of government for online shenanigans yet.

After a while, you sort of want bad things to happen so society will move forward... Humans are so reticent to act to protect themselves from a threat they don't see or understand the capabilities of.

I agree. Early in my career, I thought a manager was like a driving teacher, someone to help guide you and hit the brake when you're about to crash. Now that I'm a manager, I think of it more like being a snowplow; you wake up in the morning and you can get your job done thanks to the work that someone else is doing behind the scenes.

Tracking triggers etc is pretty straightforward, just put them in a repo and apply them as part of a schema change. Testing them can be tricky, as unit tests aren't as likely to capture the locks/time that can be an issue when the database is under load. Tools like pgreplay can be helpful here.

>plastic is relatively inert

That's not the whole story. Plastic is a chemical 'sponge' that soaks up contaminants from the environment (eg heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, pesticides, etc), concentrating them to many times background levels before delivering them into your body. For example household dust (which is >50% microplastics) is the primary route for brominated flame retardants to enter the human body.

And that's not even to mention intentional additives (phthalates, Bisphenol-*, BFRs again), which are far from inert.
