Another possible explanation for this skew is that TikTok and IG are primarily video platforms.

The videos of destruction and death in Gaza are far more horrific than corresponding videos in Israel, because the scale of what Israel is doing to Gaza is so much greater than what Gaza has done to Israel.

Another way of saying it is, it makes sense that someone who spends hours on apps optimized for empathy-based addiction would be more sympathetic to Gazans than someone who reads the newspaper or watches talking heads on TV news, since the latter portray the occupation as a two-sided tit for tat.
Such a crass statement. What if you're the patient? Would you spend 2 million to live 30-40 more years? It's so easy to step back and weight the lives of other as if you're making the decision for others.
There needs to be a function on this site where people can vote to unflag things, this is just ridiculous.
There are revenge porn laws. Making fake porn of a person and publicly distributing it could fall under that sort of legislation.
I think the problem is that you have one population of readers who go with the ad blocker, and they don't know that they are about to send everyone to this eyesore. The other population is people who don't use ad blockers, but also who would never visit this site, because it's an eyesore.

For that second population: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/285cs

The overwhelming remainder of people are in neither: they don't block ads, and they don't care. And their TVs are on all day long.
Ironically, I bought a refurbished Google pixel last year just because it supported calyxos. Never looked back. Just recently they added support for more devices which is great.

If you don't run anything Google on your device, you'll discover that an oldish (~4 years old) phone is plenty.

I use CleanShot - an OSX screenshot utility. Highly recommend if you spend a good portion of your day in issue trackers or doing project management work. Besides quick annotations, it's easy to capture gifs, videos, scrolling screenshots, etc.
It's remarkable to me that this persists. Who are these ghouls that look at a newborn infant and say with straight face, "Lets cut a piece of his penis off"?

Paul is trashing his rep all on his own.

I am Jewish, appalled by Paul’s tweets, but lazy and don’t do anything about it.

I fail to see how other Jewish people, that are similarly appalled, but more activist in nature about trying to work together to push back on rising antisemitism, is anything nefarious.

What happens when you work under a group of people who are satisfied at stage one of project X? You know you can iterate to get two stages further, but they want you to work on projects Y and Z. This is a very common situation where you, or even the whole development team has very little control.

Of course, management should be supportive of quality improvements, but their reality is either one where they are under genuine pressure to deliver projects X and Y to stage of quality through to not understanding or caring about quality.

My own experience is that individual programmers have vastly different ideas of quality is based on their experience and education. You can be struggling to get a team to improve and then you hire a somewhat normal individual with a very different background who makes a sizeable impact on quality and the culture of this in the team. I'm thinking specifically of someone who joined from aerospace, but I've seen it with finance backgrounds. I think the background matters less than the perspective and ability to hold people accountable (including yourself.)
1. The premise that college teaches you how to build software in industry is a pretty wild claim.

2. Is this article from the 90s where we ship software on CDs or floppy disks? In today's world where the concept of a "release" is often blurred by continuous delivery pipelines (and this is considered a good practice), having a quality insurance department manually assuring that no bugs are in that release seems downright archaic.
>> Exactly in the same way that nobody understand in detail how a complex modern SoC works. Again, there is no magic.

That's absolute BS. Every part of a SoC was designed by a person for a specific function. It's possible for an individual to understand - in detail - large portions of SoC circuitry. How any function of it works could be described in detail down to the transistor level by the design team if needed - without monitoring its behavior.
Haha I (Europe) once worked with an American company who had the development center in India.

My experience with that setup was - quite the opposite to say the least.

We did not have direct contact with the Indian team so we had to speak to the US team to ask them to do stuff in India. But if they had questions... ... ... ...
Not necessarily -- the embedding into semantic space is largely unsupervised; LLMs do not learn to translate through explicit examples of parallel text. Largely it's just a matter of having a large enough corpus of whale speech in a format that can be encoded into a token sequence.

McDonald's jobs are dead end and low pay, suitable only for kids. Butcher, baker, etc. are skilled life-long careers.

France has really got it right, in my opinion. I don't know how much they subsidize local business, or what their incentives are for training, or if it's just their cultural attachment to good food, but I've traveled across France and never seen a village of over 300 people that didn't have a butcher, a green grocery / dairy shop and at least two kinds of bakeries. Of course there's always a huge Carrefour within driving distance, but even that is stunningly high quality compared with even supermarkets in other countries in Europe (let alone the wretched quality of counter service at supermarkets in the US).
Few days ago I've seen an ad for a realistic looking extra finger, you attach it to one of your other finger so that you have an extra finger sticking out. Then when someone makes real incriminating photo of you you point out that extra finger and say it's ai generated.

> I feel like a first class citizen.

My impression is that everyone who rides a bicycle has this level of self-righteousness and self-importance.

From TFA: "People hate bike lanes, at least in part, because people hate cyclists. And in fairness, many cyclists give non-cyclists more than a few things to hate. They pedal against traffic. They blow red lights. They wear expensive-looking Lycra jerseys that feel like flashy overkill on city streets. The stereotype skews toward six-figure-earning, middle-aged neckbeards mansplaining about derailleurs. And there’s that eternal whiff of superiority embodied by those 'One Less Car' signs sometimes taped to the backs of bike seats, which manage to pack eco-smugness and a grammatical error into three syllables. It should read, 'One Fewer Car,' if you want to be like that."

I wouldn't say I hate bicyclers. I'm just happy that I never encounter them.
I helped a very little with the formalization (I filled in some trivial algebraic manipulations, and I was there for some Lean technical support).

It's exciting to see how quickly the work was done, but it's worth keeping in mind that a top mathematician leading a formalization effort is very exciting, so he could very easily scramble a team of around 20 experienced Lean users.

There aren't enough experienced Lean users to go around yet for any old project, so Gowers's point about ease of use is an important one.

Something that was necessary for the success of this was years of development that had already been done for both Lean and mathlib. It's reassuring that mathlib is being developed in such a way that new mathematics can be formalized using it. Like usual though, there was plenty missing. I think this drove a few thousand more lines of general probability theory development.
Unbelievable how often this is written about without mentioning one of the primary reasons for this design: Parklets. Before the pandemic there was a finalized design for Valencia that would have done what has been done most commonly elsewhere which was to swap the car parking and the bike lanes, putting bike lanes right by the curb. But then the pandemic happened and many more parklets opened on Valencia for outdoor dining and people loved them! But parklets replace parking spaces so suddenly swapping the parking and bike lanes made a mess instead of safety. Take a look at Telegraph in Oakland, they had swapped parking and bike lanes before the pandemic, and now a ton of bars and restaurants have active bike lanes cutting through their dining areas. It's terrible! The alternative that was considered to the center lane involved weaving the bike lane around parklets, creating stretches of bike lanes that were no longer protected from cars and eating up parking spots with the weave.

As a cyclist, I love the center lanes. I feel safe. Before the change every time I biked down Valencia I had to weave in and out of the car lane b/c 100% of the time someone was parked in the bike lane. That basically doesn't happen anymore, and the one time I had an ambulance blocking my way, I went around it _in the opposing bike lane_ not exposed to cars at all.

It's always been the merchants opposing this stuff and study after study says they are wrong about it.
It is so telling that we have actual concrete or metal or otherwise tough bollards in front of things like propane refills at gas stations, but we won't do the same to protect people on foot or on bikes.
I'm not sure the two can be properly compared. I was going to say it's the same, then I thought maybe it was a little less concerning, but now I'm really not sure.

I share your concerns, but maybe we should concentrate on this particular issue when it comes to this particular comment section, because simply bringing this up isn't really adding to the conversation.

Money obviously is a factor in any case. But, if you hire a lawyer, you at least have control of the costs. "Loser pays" means you pay for the company's Big Law outside counsel if you lose.
But doesn't that mean a single point of failure, a single network problem stopping the whole car? I guess there must be a historic reason for mostly direct CAN connections.
This is like complaining that if someone scribbles over a map with blue crayon that they're creating a lake and destroying property. The map is not the territory. And even more than the normal meaning of that in this case the image is really not actually a photo of the person.

The complexity of the algorithms involved in making images obscures that simple fact and enables a lot of hyperbolic nonsense and dangerous calls for use of force. There's no one being "undressed" here.
Worse taste but probably healthier in this case.
> This is false.

I wonder where you get the confidence to make such a strong statement, which is clearly not warranted. I want to challenge you to broaden your view a bit: Not a lot of software is like Windows explorer. Not a lot of software is performance critical. A lot of software can do with bugs, with many many bugs, to be honest. A lot of code is run fewer than 100 times, before it's retired. Also, not a lot of software written has many users. Or enough users to support maintaining it. "Pollution" often affects just the author of the software themself. Software is just a means to an end, and the end decides, how much effort was warranted in the first place.
I am with you on this. Mistral 7B is amazingly good. There are finetunes of it (the Intel one, and Berkeley Starling) that feel like they are within throwing distance of gpt3.5T... at only 7B!

I was really hoping for a 13B Mistral. I'm not sure if this MOE will run on my 3090 with 24GB. Fingers crossed that quantization + offloading + future tricks will make it runnable.
Hakai magazine had an interesting article/podcast episode about the project a while ago: https://hakaimagazine.com/features/are-we-on-the-verge-of-ch...
It's not the bike lane. The price of going out has gone up and the amount paychecks that have gone up doesn't match it. Each wave of tech layoffs wipes out more customers that can absorb price increases. The city needs to continue lower permit fees and cut red tape for new business to start city-wide to get new money in.

As for the center bike lane design, I dislike it as a cyclist. The entry curbs make it difficult to pull out mid-block without someone behind me hitting me, and if I'm biking in the car lane I can't safely merge back to the bike lane with how the curbs are.

The best design is to make those blocks car free like Market St; deliveries, ADA drop offs, and local garage owners only. Ubers can drop off on the side blocks and back in parking can go in where it fits as well.
Which is outrageously priced, in case thats not clear. Its an 2020 RTX 3090 with doubled up memory ICs, which is not much extra BoM.

Ah yes, the righteousness and self-importance of not wanting to get doored or driven over.
The mechanism by which this treatment works is really neat (some notes in [0]). The treatment increases the production of a fetal version of hemoglobin. That fetal hemoglobin is unaffected by the sickle cell mutation. Presumably everybody who is alive (and not a fetus) has a good copy of this fetal hemoglobin gene and it "just" needs re-activated.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is perfect. Engineering for a single metric is catastrophic. It took social media to wake folks up to that but “let’s reduce STI metrics by cutting infants” really should have beaten it to the punch.

Ugh, I'd been avoiding twitter for obvious reasons lately. I'd forgotten how awful the bluecheck-reply slurry was since they started selling those.
I'm aware that the tech to do so is really cool. It doesn't make the racing better though. It's not more exciting, the cars aren't really faster because of it because they're limited in other ways, and it's not really more competitive.

What F1 needs is disruption, more options, like too many options that all of them won't be test-able, less standardization.
Even the limited sim time is a problem, because there are certainly optimizations left on the table that can't really be found otherwise. What you wind up with is a A-team and a B-team of mostly the same designs. That's booring, and moreso because if the cars really were 100% standardized, at very least it'd be competitive in terms of driver skill.

It's why these days, I don't watch much F1, I much prefer the more 'indie' racing leagues where, on any given raceday, anyone can win. The days of F1 being that way are long gone, and, it's not likely to change at-all.
Elon's still calling it twitter. Is that unprofessional, and othering?
It starts mattering more for consumer software when you reach mass scale. Somewhat hard-to-find bugs at the scale of hundreds of millions of users (like a social media company), turn into bugs faced by hundreds of thousands of users.

But at that scale (in my experience), QA is up front and center and is typically a core pillar of engineering orgs.
OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever has become invisible with his future uncertain
I have on several occasions seen firetrucks and police cars nearly kill bikers in this bike lane. The vehicles abruptly turn _into_ the center bike lane without warning, and use it instead of the car lane. Bikers then literally fall over trying to get out of the way in time.
About 40% of the screen is pestering me to download their app to look at an image. That I always find the most annoying. I kind of wish product managers would start from the assumption that users don’t care about your company at all. Impress me and give me a reason to care before pestering me!
Agree re trigger maintenance

Re orm, I'm strongly biased towards only using them when they
(1) are absolutely necessary or provide some extreme benefit
(2) are able to output the raw SQL to be executed on the db
(3) the SQL to be executed is understood.

I've seen them used as a substitute for understanding SQL/databases and, personally, think that's a pretty bad idea.

Those "studies" have been thoroughly debunked. Give people soap and condoms. Don't give them wounds!

Circumcision is popular for the exact same reasons that FGM is popular: it's popular. If everyone you know did it, then what reason do you have to not do it? Can you explain that reason to those people? Of course not, you are too young to even know what is going on!

This is a failure of medical professionalism. When we allow unhealthy practices to be perpetuated by circular narratives, popularity of those narratives increases.

We are more afraid of cutting words than cutting people.

Did you notice most of the parklets on Valencia are actually gone now? The city forced businesses to get rid of them over the last 3 months or so. Monk's kettle, City Beer Store, and many more.
It's fascinating how much of a gap there is between how this is socially perceived (undressing someone) and what's actually happening (an hallucination of a naked body).

I see how this can lead to real problematic situations, but it's also so dumb, I don't think there will be any going back. I have no idea how we'll deal with this, I can't imagine we'll just accept that people have bodies and they don't need to be harrassed over it, but there must be a way and we'll find out.
Which provides no analgesia during recovery, and that a topical or local is used in neonates where general anesthesia is standard of care for circumcisions later in life raises significant questions of its own.

I'm not dogmatic on the subject, which seems rare among those inclined to speak on it at all. But I do agree that the cited benefits don't seem to justify the intervention.

It should be able to run slightly faster than a 13B desnse model, in as little as 16GB of RAM with room to spare.

Of course they do, lots of that is in the training data.
it's difficult to get a triangle mesh from a NeRF if that's what you're asking. I believe the current technique is just ray marching the NeRF at various points which will cause some loss. NVIDIA published a paper doing that last year. There isn't an elegant way to convert it yet AFAIK. Then again my information is about 4 months out of date.

The Apple ones look like they're those that go into your ear deeply, which you can't lay on (and I don't find comfortable anyway, but during the day that could be a compromise).

I don't need custom specialty products... or, well, maybe I do, once a new phone without headphone jack is forced upon me in order to have a normal life where I can run the local transport company's app and other such semi-necessities...

That’s how my house is as well. The builder used CAT5 for all of the phone runs. Fortunately it’s a one story with easy attic access. I’ve rerouted many of them to a closet (the originally all terminated outside near the electrical panel) and ran a few more by drilling through top plates in the attic. I don’t have jacks everywhere I’d want, and most of the cable is CAT5, but it generally hasn’t been an issue. Most of the lines seem to support gigabit speeds.

In my previous house an upstairs leak resulted in a downstairs ceiling coming down which was a boon for wiring up most of the house and adding in ceiling speakers and can lights.
