I don't think that parent is suggesting that platforms are actively prioritising one over the other.

I think they are saying that the composition of users of these apps skews one way rather than the other due to pre existing stances, and the fact that the apps are not available in some markets.

As a result, certain views are prioritised as a byproduct of the fact that all modern social media apps have an algorithm that shows you more of what you already agree with, in order to maximise ad profits.
But Rust and Ruby target completely different use cases.

I have a lot of praise for using Memray as part of working out some memory kinks in a codebase I’m working on. It allowed me to quickly iterate on some hunches and then enshrine the resulting memory savings in tests via pytest-memray.

>Not a lot of software is performance critical.

Not being performance critical doesn't mean it is justified to diss-respect users by wasting their time.

>A lot of code is run fewer than 100 times, before it's retired. Also, not a lot of software written has many users.

Obviously we aren't talking about some simple automation scripts here.

>"Pollution" often affects just the author of the software themself.

You are misunderstanding the pollution analogy.
I'm not talking about polluting the codebase with code smell.

I meant it mostly in jest. Most of the rich synth kids I've met have been rich kids in the rave/burner scene that got so into the music that they wanted to make it but didn't know how to play any instruments, but I'm sure there's plenty of synth hoarders at the fancy schools.

If I had the money I'd probably be one myself. I love blinkenlights and analog electronics and electronic music, but have zero musical talent.

Thanks for the clarification.

Market based then, and time scales do matter, as we see now with the issue to entire generations in finding affordable housing.

The problem with a market based approach is that when things genuinely do become limited, people substitute or do without. And thus market watchers like Taleb don't notice that something that busted is now fully bust (or has become a luxury item).
I would be surprised if clever people were actually confused about that. Only a rich person like PG can afford to say the emperor has no clothes.

Ah, I hate that you were downvoted for that. For those who haven't used it, yes, iA Writer tries to steer you away from adverbs: https://ia.net/writer/support/basics/writing-tips/parts-of-s...

You can turn that off. I did at first; all the colors in the English prose I was writing distracted me. I came to appreciate that, though. I realized that I used adverbs and adjectives much more than I intended to, and now they stand out.

Along those lines, I've also realized that I overuse "great", "love", "hope", "literally", and "but". I added those to iA Writer's custom patterns, and now it pesters me when I use those words. Sometimes I mean to, but I literally love to put them in every sentence and hope it turns out great. iA Writer says, hey, you might want to reconsider your word choices.
They did this a few times over the years (most recently, I believe, with Pay + Wallet apps, where in the US and Singapore, there was a forced transition from Wallet to Pay because of how Google decided to roll the digital wallet features into the payment app. This was only the case in those two countries, though, so in those places trying to open the Wallet app after the transition instead opened the new GPay app. The Wallet apps still exists, but does nothing unless you live somewhere other than the US or Singapore.
It wouldn't be surprising if they did sign the letter, and it wouldn't take peer pressure to make it happen. People can have concerns about a manager's style or a leadership culture and still not want to have years of lucrative equity comp erased overnight by the board's reaction to those concerns.
Rising wealth inequality grants power disproportionately to the wealthy. Money is power, the means to make your view stick.

Even if everything mentioned is 100% true the board handled the situational so poorly they lost and Sam won. It was like an average episode of Succession being played out.
This is a story about social media technology and a fairly deep and documented look at how a specific group is using this technology to spread their version of propaganda and harassment.

The use of the technology may be political, but I would not call this a political article. I was surprised this made it to the front page too at first but as I read on, it ended up being a really interesting article detailing fairly specifically how social media tech is used to engage in harassment, attack people for voicing an opposing political opinion, alter public narratives on important divisive events, etc. It's probably the most plain explanation of how this process works and how social media tech accelerates it I've read to date.
I believe that the parent comment's point is that if the default assumption that a nude of a real person on the internet is fake, the nude should lose a lot of its power to shame. If nobody believes that a picture is real, nobody should believe that the events in the picture happened.

I'm not sure that's true, though. An evil rumour should be assumed to be untrue, yet they're often believed and often cause significant harm.

I will never understand the cult of personality that appears around people like Altman, Musk, or whoever the unicorn CEO of the month is.

> Something that was necessary for the success of this was years of development that had already been done for both Lean and mathlib

Yes but the bulk of the work on this project was background as well. So the ease of use problem should be solving itself over time as more and more prereqs get filled in.

BTW, I find it interesting that mathlib is apparently also getting refactored to accommodate constructive proofs better, as part of the porting effort to Lean 4. This might encourage more CS- and program-verification minded folks to join the effort, and maybe some folks in math-foundations too (though Lean suffers there by not being able to work with the homotopy-types axioms).

From a spacial perspective you are right, of course.

Perhaps the tradeoff is that for any given house price, the time & money cost of planning and adding "hidden" features that buyers seldom think to prioritize, has to be offset by reductions in other value that buyers are more likely to notice. But, not necessarily space.
Of course I will do anything to prolong life of myself and my family, like any human being.

But as a society with limited resources we need to set priorities. I hope everyone will be able to receive treatment.

However, such treatment is only for rich people, or from rich countries.

Even some countries in Europe are not reach enough to pay for such medicine. Like Zolgensma, which also costs around 2 millions USD to cure SMA.
I'm confused when you say that its acceptable to display injured or dead bodies, and yet its violating TOS to display murder or torture. The photo of a murder vs a photo of a bombed body is not something I understand to be distinctly different nor something that would be able to be detected by the algorithm.

[Small addition: I've actually seen videos of (alleged) hamas torture, particularly the torture and killing of a specific woman, from Oct 7, not taken down from TOS. I just was under the impression, because there are literally more Palestinian dead people, there will be more photos of dead Palestinians.]

[Edited to add, since I'm apparently posting too fast: no, I really do mean there were censored videos of that naked woman in the back of a hamas truck from Oct 7! And that one video of an Israeli woman who lives close enough to the bombing that she can hear it in the context that it gives her peace to know the bombing is happening!]
I hate that you're being downvoted for this.

Even today, women are judged not on the facts of who they are, but by the image men (and women) create around them. They're already bullied and harassed for their virginity (or lack thereof), "body count" (real or perceived), promiscuity, their conformity to society's standards of beauty, and so on.

Nudes, especially those created specifically to objectify or harass, will harm women. It will harm their self image, it will harm their reputations, it will harm their careers (women are already being fired from jobs because of nude pictures of them on various websites).

People are not rational beings. We can know intellectually that a picture is probably a fake, and it won't change how it impacts us. Especially if it plays on our expectations. We tend to go with our first impression, even if it's later proven wrong.

See: "Biden was shown images of babies being beheaded." An image many of us still have in our mind, even though it was explicitly debunked.

Dan I wish you would address such remarks to the person who makes the first move rather than people who react to it. Alleging that pg was 'trashing his rep' (without saying why) is the epitome of flamebait, but you have a long-standing pattern of chiding people for taking the bait rather than the person throwing it out. This rewards baitposting.
> one of the best purchases

Key word there: purchases. Their apps are pricey, but then you own them. I'll take that over subscriptions every time.
> I usually don't but I truly believe this.

Thanks

> Consider a bike that needs to travel 15 minutes. That trip would take a car 5 minutes.

It depends on a lot of things. Where I live, if unlucky, the closest parking space is a 5 min walk. Say you need just 3 minutes to get from the door to the road. My bicycle is parked next to my door. It takes 10 seconds, 15 including acceleration.

When at the destination things are roughly the same. You lose 6 min vs 30 seconds. We keep adding more cars to the roads, you use to be able to get around really fast, this is increasingly not the case, specially in a city.

Bicycles can do with very crappy road, a thin layer of asphalt will last a really long time. Cars destroy roads quite fast, specially the heavier ones. They deal some damage to buildings, I don't know how much. The fumes aren't very nice the noise is a problem.

Space isn't exactly cheap in cities, all those big roads consume quite a bit of it. It is kinda ironic how we use cars to get to nice places and build roads where nice places could have been.

I read something like 40% of the space in cities is consumed by parking. With housing many stories tall, smaller apartments that people cant afford the ratio is pretty weird.

Lots of pets, children and old people cant really go outside because we've turned the city into a race track.

For trips under 20 min bicycles are fantastic. Cars are clear winners beyond. In a congested area for anything under 10 min, with reasonable fitness bicycles are twice as fast.

The first 20 min of cycling actually takes 0 minutes worth of life span.

Outside the city having your own launch pad/drive way, few things within cycling distance, it seems to make perfect sense to use cars.

Assuming either bicycles or cars as a design goal, in the city the "hidden" inconvenience is much greater than the convenience of having cars all over the place. They are mostly just sitting there not moving and the rest of the time they crawl around "bothered" by countless things.

Without access to modern hospital treatments it is fairly normal to die very young from sickle cell disease - it causes 100k+ deaths a year.

An in-law of an ex has it, and regularly spends days in hospital during crises. Without access to a high quality hospital he'd have been dead a long time ago.

The average life expectancy for someone with sickle-cell disease in developed countries is 40-60 years, and serious crises tend to start from childhood.

That said, it's recessive, and so it's likely the reverse of what you think: It's not primarily the people with full-blown disease who contributes most to the long term survival of the trait, but that the trait alone confers fairly significant advantage in regions where Malaria is huge killer mostly without causing health problems. So across the combined set of carriers and those with the full disease, the life expectancy in Malaria stricken areas tends to be higher.

Pattern of change of the prevalence of the trait correlating with changes in prevalence of Malaria has been observed many places. E.g. the prevalence among US black people is significantly lower and dropping than in the areas their ancestors came from.

An entirely predictable outcome of "death sentences" for non-malicious company events is that companies will pull out all the stops to cover them up.
If I understand correctly:

RAM Wise, you can easily run a 70b with 128GB, 8x7B is obviously less than that.

Compute wise, I suppose it would be a bit slower than running a 13b.

edit: "actually", I think it might be faster than a 13b. 8 random 7b ~= 115GB, Mixtral is under 90. I will have to wait for more info/understanding.
I really dislike the current attitudes around ethics and AI. Tools should be 100% open about what they can and can't do. Building unethical software like deepfakes for porn is also unethical.

Quoting of vague "ethics" risks around AI, or neutering LLMs in the vein of making them "safer" seems dubious to me. Obviously, there are a huge number of problems which depend on safe AI - where safe often means something completely different from what is currently being talked about. e.g. does the AI reliably do what I expect it to do in the face of adversarial inputs? does it handle risky settings like deciding to refund customers? How can I ensure that the AI is making legal decisions and not secretly using redlining, or other illegal criteria to make its decision?

People have a tendency to keep ahold of their first opinions. And the first opinion will not be "this is obviously fake" - because it looks real, and we're animals first, humans second.

Will be interesting to see what ends up buying up their assets.
Sorry, I don’t really know how else I can explain it. The age rating factor itself is pretty self explanatory.

Instead of charging a sicker or older person $10,000 per month and healthier or younger people $100 per month because that is close to the expected loss in the calendar year for the insurer, they are mandated to charge younger/healthier people $1,000 per month so the older person can only be charged $3,000 per month.

Imagine a similar law for motor vehicles. The car insurance companies can only charge the worst and riskiest drivers 3x what the safest driver pays. Basically, you can keep getting into collisions and at some point your premium will stop increasing. Where will the money to pay for all the damages come?

> I think you are assuming that insurers have perfect risk assessments power and thus regulating them should be unnecessary.

I do not assume this. Insurance and tax/wealth redistribution is a spectrum.
No, that's not what "targeted" means, you're just making that up. In this context, targeted means he was attacked because he was in some list/satisfied some criterion.

Thanks for that! Do you have advice for learning it? How did you get started, and what made you decide to stick with it instead of other languages?

I'm happy to try to use it for Advent of Code 2024, but it would help if I could at least get oriented so I'm not going in totally cold (and thereby likely to fall off the wagon after 3 days because each one takes 2 hours in an unfamiliar language).

The data science use case is particularly interesting and not something I had considered here. Arrow bindings help immensely. Of course at work I'll probably never get a chance to use anything other than Python and R for many years to come; maybe Julia is the most exotic I think I'd ever be able to go, and that's only if I ever hit a performance bottleneck in Python that can't be remediated with Numba.
I'd still find the added context insightful. They went to the board alleging psychological abuse, so I assume they understood the board would at least consider removing Sam.
Not exactly what you describe, but for the installation and boot use cases you're describing, have you tried Ventoy? It's still all software, but it's an extra layer of protection against the disk images being modified.

> If there are already viable full-cure treatments for all those cancers then why aren't there viable full-cure treatments for this sort of bioweapon?

Plenty of possibilities. A cancer is ultimately a mutated genome in a viable cell gone awry. Even with contagious cancers (like the one killing the Tasmanian Devils) you're still ultimately dealing with an infectious eukaryotic cell of basically the same species type as the organism, and our mammalian immune systems are already used to targeting our own cells gone awry. Viruses, satellite viruses, prokaryotes, other eukaryotes, edited out, and whatever I'm forgetting will require a diversity of approaches (unless someone invents pico-scale teleportation).

Sure, but it would be even cheaper to only develop a podcast app once and then iterate on it. Not to mention that it would avoid repelling users by forcing all these manual migrations on them.
