That's not why the electoral college was created. The three fifths compromise was appended to the electoral college system, but it was not the reason for it being created in the first place.

The reason why we have an electoral college system, according to James Madison in the Federalist papers, is because the United States is intended to be a mixture of state-based and population-based government. States within the US are not meant to be mere provinces; they are intended to be mini-countries with their own laws and customs under a broader federal umbrella. The electoral college system allows the states to cast the votes for President, instead of the majority of citizens voting directly.

It's sort of like how an HOA works, where each unit has one vote. The units themselves comprise the voting body, not the individual people living in each unit. The individuals in each unit might have different opinions and preferences, but at the end of the day they must submit a single vote representing their unit. The electoral college system works the same way, with the caveat that the number of votes apportioned to each state is relative to the size of the population.

I know next to nothing about video encoders, and in my naive mind I absolutely thought that parallelism would work just like you suggested it should. It sounds absolutely wild to me that they're splitting single frames into multiple segments. Merging work from different threads for every single frame sounds wasteful somehow. But I guess it works, if that's how everybody does it. TIL!

Tacit knowledge is inevitable. Some people, like Turing Award winner Peter Naur, claim that the knowledge in the programmer's head is actually the main "product" of programming. He calls this "Theory Building". There's an excellent paper on it, but it's pretty verbose, here's [1] a summary with some additional case studies.

Documentation makes the world go round. Definitely appropriate for
high-risk must-deliver projects, but not in all contexts. Is it maybe
a business fantasy that we can simply juice the talent of a team and
bottle it?

Where does this idea come from other than good engineering practice?

If you work with smart, talented people in a fast moving world it
seems, as you say, inevitable that you face the "problem" of tacit
knowledge and manage it positively.

In Designing Sound (and my lectures on sound design) I researched and
wrote about this as "ineffable knowledge". My observation in arts and
design through the 90s and early 00s was that we regularly get people
who are x100 superstars but they're unable to articulate exactly how
they do things and pass that knowledge to others (I was researching
this from a UI/UX point of view). That is /talent/ and it's why we
value people as more than just interchangeable cogs. Much process
knowledge, and crucially problem-solving knowledge in any project will
reside in the heads of individuals.

(TBF I think the article is more about tacit cultural knowledge within
the team as a whole)

Sure if we lose key individuals the project is threatened, but on the
other hand trying to get them to do a full knowledge dump, such that
any replacement would be frictionless, is a fools errand.

Treating "information" that way and ignoring people is one-dimensional
thinking.

So I don't think it's helpful to talk about tacit knowledge itself as
"dangerous". What is more dangerous is composing mediocre teams
only from replaceable workers and spending too much of their time on
documenting as a safety net when they should be pushing
forward. Meanwhile a danger is in treating valuable people so badly
their continuity is not assured. Far fewer people fall under the
proverbial bus than simply leave for better jobs.

So we could take the view that over-cautious self-reporting and
documenting is a sign of, and attempt to manage, low commitment
business attitudes, poor wages, conditions and low job-security.
Building on top of what exists makes sense. There's science and then engineering and we need more engineering. I am curious though how far the $10M will go and what the plan is. Building on top still needs some kind of training and the money won't go very far for anything large scale. I know they know this, I'm just interested to know the plan.

No, the onus should be on the law, because corporations will do nothing "for th greater good" if they're not forced to do so. The onus is on the individual to help other individuals around them that need it, and on the individual to petition their law makers to do what needs to be done.

Putting the onus on the corporations is the one thing that's guaranteed, with a long and storied proven track record, of not working.

The more power companies have to regulate their consumers, as well as the information available to them, the less responsive to demand they have to be.

> YouTube is a monopoly and is addictive

Youtube is indeed a monopoly -- but it's not actually addictive. Since they started this war against adblockers I have found that I can perfectly live without it.

When I absolutely would like to watch an informative video (for example, about how to fix something on my bike, etc.), I first try to open the video in a private window (with ublock on); if that also doesn't work I try to use yt-dlp.

But I have completely stopped mindlessly watching videos that are not the result of a search.

There's nothing necessary about youtube.
Depends what you mean by spirituality. Ken Wilber describes a system of “wake up, grow up, clean up, show up.” In terms of the first dimension - awakening the mind to its true/original nature of non-dual awareness - easterners have far out-developed westerners in this regard. However in the other dimensions it’s less clear and possible to argue westerners are more developed in these other dimensions. For example in the East i don’t think you’ll find anything near Jung’s work and subsequent psychology for cleaning up. So it depends how you define spiritual advancement.

In Wilber’s system he describes the follies of advanced waking up without growing up (the many scandals re sex money & power), a thing that’s common in cultures that have spiritual gurus.
Video codecs often encode the delta from the previous frame, and because this delta is often small, it's efficient to do it this way. If each thread needed to process the frame separately, you would need to make significant changes to the codec, and I hypothesize it would cause the video stream to be bigger in size.
As a judge in the article says, the nature of the accusation is such that misidentified defendants may pay nuisance money just to avoid being publicly accused, even if innocent. The plaintiff might be deliberately exploiting that, too.

I'm not sure that follows. The bill is specifically targeted at "big tech". Businesses with less than $1 billion in revenue and/or fewer than 20 million active Canadian users are exempt.

Presumably he is talking about news startups. For instance, a news agency with fewer than two employees is not eligible to receive the funds. This makes it difficult to bootstrap a startup news organization while the established players are sitting there collecting free money from the government.
I used to see these exact videos on twitch.tv for months during non US peak times. They were number one in viewers for about 15 minutes until they were reported and nuked. Refresh another five minutes later and they'd be back at number one.

Cool side note: If you report on twitch.tv you get an email; If they do something about it, you get another email saying they actioned it.

The market will continue to suck, but not because AI is taking our jobs.
I completely agree. A huge business with a singular focus isn’t going to pivot into the music business (or any of the myriad use cases the general public throws at it). And if they did use someone’s info, it’s more likely an unethical employee than a genuine business tactic.

Do you mean my app? It doesn't change the wakeup behavior. For my Mac that means it'll wake up when I turn on my bluetooth headphones.

> If both these headphones are connected, what heuristic should be used to select the input/output?
My app remember your choice for a given group of connected devices. That means that, if you haven't chosen anything, the default behavior will take place. If you select one of them, it will remember the choice and auto-switch to that one when the same group of devices is connected. I hope it makes sense.
The beautifully written but not much known Rune Blades Of Celi ebooks no longer can be purchased, as the small publisher is just gone. Of course, the ones I purchased could no longer be downloaded. But want something bigger? Fine. The Wheel Of Time (is that large enough for you?) Complete Edition I bought for over a hundred dollars also can't be donwloaded any more. (And to be more on topic, one of my favorite artists have disappeared from Bandcamp and so did my purchases. And Bandcamp is better in this than others.)

You can download all these from torrent trackers.

Tell me true, if you can't buy them how on earth it is piracy to download them?
Nope. That's not at all accurate.
It's been settled mostly by common law decisions in courts. Which allows for consideration of whether say, the tire advertised itself as nail-proof or the automotive manufacture knew the car model was uniquely susceptible to going off the road but ignored the risk.

The problem with Section 230 is that it short circuits all of this consideration of proportionality and says "the driver was always responsible."

Not OP, but you have to regularly review and adjust the ontology regularly as more articles are added.

In short, the categorization and organization is key, and you have to do it when the number of documents is not only increasing, but different enough.

Sometimes, I just write a longer document and once it's ready, it can be broken into smaller ones. Doing this helps save the organization tremendous amounts of time in not having to re-learn things, or dig it up.

> However, the law is clear that downloading videos you do not have license to is illegal. Shouldn't the focus be on fighting the crime.

This is tort, not crime.

> Using courts to enforce sanctions against monetary losses due to illegal activity ought to be encouraged.

Using unreliable means which target the innocent and a strategy based on reputational harm irrespective of truth to coerce settlement isn’t addressing monetary losses due to illegal activity. It is a practice which by deisgn avoids isn't directed well at actual illegal activity and avoids any consideration of whether there are actual monetary losses.

> The government ought to take more action to prevent theft as well.

This isn't about theft at all.

> That's what the law says.

It would be irrelevant if it were, but its also literally not what the law says.

> I fail to see why he should be painted as a bad guy for 'shaming' people for stealing.

The issue isn't stealing, and it as a major hughlighted aspect of this thr method by which the targets are identified does not, even approximately, reliably identify the person tesponsible for targeted activity.
It's definitely not by accident, it would be very easy to turn off community notes for tweets flagged as ads.
I literally had to pay Strike 3 over $10k for having downloaded some of their videos over torrent.

Ironically I liked their videos enough to be a paying member of one of their websites (even for 2 years before the lawsuit hit me). But downloading torrents was much more convenient, so I foolishly (and without VPN) opted to torrent.

They used Dade County (Florida) court house to send mass accusations (not individual ones as is standard law practice). The lawyer said that letting them know I was a paying member might make them put the screws on me for being the cause of distribution or something, so I silently paid the money and moved on.

Frustrating that they can bypass standard law practice by finding a scumbag courthouse that is willing to ignore due process.

I think it is good to start by defining the concept because I first hear about "tacit knowledge" in the context of knowledge management [1]. In that context tacit knowledge is inherent to social systems. It is something that exists and could not be prevented.

At the end what the author should criticize is not the tacit knowledge but how the organization manages the knowledge. And that is, knowledge management.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_management
You don't know that until you get legal advice. A consult isn't always "cheap" but will cost a few hundred, not 10k+. Your lawyer will be able to give you the best & worse case in terms of dollar amounts if you opt to litigate.

> Too much risk of being stolen or lost in transit.

In my experience, that risk is very, very low (at least in the US). But yes, if we're talking large amounts of money, I wouldn't put it in a card. That said, I included $500 in cash in a package last month, so my risk tolerance is likely unusually high for this sort of thing.

> Literally everyone in my network has Zelle or Wise for sending them fiat.

Ah, that's a bit different (do those services charge a fee, though?). In my social circle, there are only two people (that I know of) who already uses such apps. Everyone else would be pretty annoyed, and probably wouldn't bother to scan the QR code.

It's interesting how much social norms can vary from group to group.
Yep, that'd be a lot of fun. I think back to the stuff that used to go on to optimize lua: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg00742.html

I also suspect that we are relatively close, and there are diminishing returns. I suspect that you would have to start the language design with this goal in mind, and then balance out performance concerns with certain features.
I guess it means that you're paid more in the US so that you can do illegal stuff and pay your lawyer and the fine?

A not terribly uncommon belief is that continuous growth (pick your metric) is the raison d'être of all entities operating in a capitalist society, and so achieving and maintaining some high level of profitability and then staying there means that you and your company are failing to do their job.

But "growth" is a moving and indulgent target. For some, increasing profits isn't the growth that matters. Rather, increasing the rate at which profits are increasing is the true metric. So even vastly increased profits can still be a form of failure that requires more actions be taken to wring more money out of the platform and its users.
