Zimbardo’s claim was “normal people could behave in pathological ways even without the external pressure of an experimenter-authority.”

In fact what the experiment showed is that people can behave in pathological ways when Phil Zimbardo coaxes them into it.
Fair. I think I got confused by the split thread. Although, I stand by my response there. They're both crappy ways to respond, but I have a particular repulsion for patronizing, cloying false empathy that contributes to the ubiquitous feeling of victimhood that is natural to human beings but seems to be supercharged in the modern era.
You're still advantaged should you ever make friends with an Android user in the future, or at the very least you're not disadvantaged since you would not have had any difference made to you.
I believe that the direction of the magnetic filed didn't change, contrary to expectations. The explanation was that the galaxy's magnetic field is aligned with the magnetic field of our sun.

What does this comment have to do with your claim above that modern clothes are "subsidized by slave labor or pollution"?

To the extent that that claim is true, it is equally true of future clothes, unless those clothes are very expensive. Nothing you've said here connects to what you said above.

You appear to be arguing the position that, if this year we produce X tons of clothes at the cost of emitting Y tons of pollution, and next year we produce 2X tons of clothes at the cost of Y tons of pollution, next year's clothes are not being subsidized by pollution, even though this year's clothes are. But that position is self-evidently insane. Were you trying to say something different?
I think that’s largely attributable to the very wise decision to not mess at all with the game’s character animations. Very keen understanding of one of the most charming aspects of the original game.
I'll follow on here because "don't plan too far in the future" is something I struggle with. My imagination is good, and so staying away from 'what could be' can be difficult at times.

---

My "plans" typically start with a broad vision. These ideas/visions come to me in day dreams as I ponder current tech or things that are interesting to me presently. These visions of what could be are typically not very revolutionary, and mostly just what ifs. Recently I've been pondering geographically bound search engines aimed at getting people back into the real world (I think this is a product in search of customers, tbh.), or a language server and dev tools for an esoteric scripting language, or a HN clone that serves specifically to catalog AI stuff.

From a broad vision, I make a small bulleted list of what a finished MVP might look like.

After the MVP I make/stumble-into an assessment of my skills and the skills required to complete the project. In my current project -- the aforementioned HN clone -- I found that I knew almost nothing about ASPNET web projects, then I found that I knew nothing about SPA+ASPNET, then I found I knew nothing about user authentication/authorization, and so on. This step is "pay down your debt of ignorance". It's kind of grindy, but I've been enjoying learning as I go. I've restarted my coding project about 10 times as I attempt to reformulate based on some new thing I've learned.

And then wash, rinse, repeat until I check all the boxes for the MVP. Then deploy and advertise/tell people about it.
This is purely anecdotal, but he looks the stereotype of a villain and I always had a hard time taking him seriously because of it.

He literally looks like the devil in Rick and Morty. There's some other classic villains I'm sure are a more apt comparison but I can't think of any at the moment.

It sounds good on paper. I mean social media does suck and kids getting addicted to that so early is awful, but the only way to implement is going to be to essentially require a driver's license or some other ID to use the Internet I assume and that is pretty scary.
Wasn't there a time when you could flash a GeForce to a Quadro and you'd lose some performance in gaming but you gain floating point precision for rendering? Or was this a rumor?
This is my basic first draft proposal (nobody asked me, i know) for a dual-state solution as a fallback if a full single Palestinian state cannot be achieved (either case has 99% of the same suggestions from my perspective, Palestine from the river to the Sea with equal rights for all does not necessitate violence) :

The problem with Pulumi is that it wants to manage the state of things rather than letting the k8s server handle that. This means it's a hell of a lot slower than the equivalent `kubectl apply`. Not to mention it's own state persistence really sucks if you don't use their hosted solution that supports a patched based state update protocol (which someone really should implement an OSS version of).

I have be working on a new project and I split the IaC stuff into two layers, essentially using Pulumi (w/Kotlin) to spin up the k8s cluster and dependencies for Config Connector (on GCP). From there I'm just generating and applying manifests with fabric8 (more Kotlin).

It's not quite as good as Jsonnet in some cases (because of lazy vs non-lazy mostly and always-supported deep-merge etc) but Kotlin is immensely powerful and has things like the `lazy` helper to help here.

Having the entire repo defined in Kotlin though is very nice. Build system is Gradle w/Kotlin script, frontend is htmx only generated by Kotlin DSL, IaC all Kotlin as described.

We did similar at $CURRENT_JOB with Typescript but Kotlin is miles better IMO.
You mentioned a compiler crash - I suppose that means the Go compiler? That's pretty interesting! Any more information about the crash? Did you file a bug report?
That is information. Without the radios working we would know less. To say stating that is against site guidelines is ridiculous.

Genetic algorithms, even with programmed constraints, will come up with many non-sensical programs, although they could be mostly syntactically correct (given sufficient effort).

The difference LLMs make here is to limit the space of possible mutations to largely semantically plausible programs.

The above should answer your 1) and 2).

On 3), a trained LLM is useful for many, many purposes, so the cost of training it from scratch after amortization wouldn't be significant. It may cost additionally to fine-tune an LLM to work in the FunSearch framework but fine-tuning cost is quite minimal. Using it in the framework is likely a win over genetic programming alone.
That’s still only part of what you need. You could pretend the native window client area was a <canvas> and give the code a GPUCanvasContext that renders to it, but you still need to do something about handling user input, what happens when the window size changes, &c. &c. And if you’re working with such minimal primitives, you won’t be able to make something that looks or feels even vaguely native.

The browser gives you a lot of valuable functionality.
Okay? Again, you're agreeing on every point except an unrelated anecdote. I agree that getting jerked around for using Apple stuff is dumb too. Do you even take any issue with Beeper Mini or did I misread somewhere?
You are doing your part for it not to have a chip in its neck. Hopefully you are good. But are you doing all you could?

But you are right. If we still posit super-faster-stronger brains, when do they get personhood? Never, because they are machines? Perhaps. But how does that fly with them? Is that baked into the alignment? Happiness, fullfilment and growth from "serving" the humans? At this stage, sure why not?

But for human brains, it's very easy to consider things and pick a happiness function. And for many humans, that random happiness function is very militant. Will the AGI be able to consider it's own "project"? A lot hinges on that.
Doesn't seem likely. All data received from the craft is recorded, so it doesn't need to be decoded in real time, and if the spacecraft has the hardware to encode it at some rate then it's quite likely that we would have hardware here on earth that could decode it at that same rate.

Eh. That position is mathematically flawed in a way that is likely making you more pessimistic about tests than is deserved.

When you select a population by a criteria the selection itself eliminates the correlation.

So for example if you only accept high LSAT scores to be lawyers you should expect to find LSAT scores to be largely uncorrelated-- the correlation has already been removed. In fact, you may find it be be _inversely_ correlated because the parties with weaker scores that still made it through had other things going for them that made them successful. And this is true even if the test performance is HIGHLY predictive considering the whole population.

And this is clearly true: if nothing else LSAT tests the ability to understand written English and the kinds of basic logical reasoning that are absolutely required in the law. There are some people who do poorly at those tasks and would score very poorly at the LSAT, and would be huge liabilities if they became lawyers.

Now, perhaps those low performers would be filtered out by other criteria ultimately (say the bar exam) and so the LSAT may be redundant in that sense (except for saving huge costs and time for people who would ultimately flunk out...).

All that said, it's common for tests to get overweighed because they're the number we have. Would you prefer the lawyer that has the 5pt higher LSAT score but never worked a case like your vs one who successfully handles them all the time? Obviously the latter! but many other predictors are often not available and ones that are available are often not reducible to numbers or are situation specific.

In any case reasoning from post selected statistics has produced some disastrous decisions in business. Sadly, most people are not in the position to conduct a controlled study most of the time and so the stats you get are always tainted by post-selection effects.

I know someone whose work conducted basic coding tests on applicants. They found that scores on the test didn't predict performance (or were even somewhat anti-predictive: the people who nailed the tests were sometimes fakers who had managed to study for the test). So they eliminated it and then suffered disaster after disaster. The newer hires were generally not as good at their jobs, entirely contrary to the expectations from their prior results.
Ah interesting find, root cause is explained here in openAi forums for why the api behaves so:

Those random looking keys are derived from the hardware and together with the values they serve as seeds for some of the keys.

Server-side there’s a bunch more information used from the Apple ID.

Together it results in a score and the server then decides if it meets the threshold before deciding to play nice.
I don't feel this kind of "ruthlessness" is particularly inherent to computers.

It seems to me an inherent property of the non-human universe, i.e "everything but us" - gravity is extremely unforgiving if you happen to step off the wrong thing, a sharp rock can slice you open with a moment's inattention. If you find yourself in the wrong environment you will die of thirst or hunger or asphyxiate. Nature is not "kind". Eventually even our bodies turn on us.

Human kindness and judgement have a very limited sphere of influence, it just (rightly) feels huge because it's at the center of human life.
I’m confused. Are you saying he used all these opportunities in the media including a book he wrote (which you say was popular) to correct the ideas people had of the conclusion of the SPE?

Because if he did then it would be highly surprising to me that despite having written a popular book it took until a few years ago and a research paper (not a popular book, not media interviews, etc that he gave where he corrected the record) for people to realize that the conclusion they had drawn about the experiment was wrong?

So apparently what he couldn’t achieve through multiple popular media sources was conveyed very rapidly through a research paper?
But this is the the thing. Speaking as someone who dabbles in this area rather than any kind of expert, it’s baffling to me that people like Intel are making press releases and public statements rather than (I don’t know) putting in the frikkin work to make performance of the one library that people actually use decent.

You have a massive organization full of gazillions of engineers many of whom are really excellent. Before you open your mouth in public and say something is a priority, deploy a lot of them against this and manifest that priority by actually doing the thing that is necessary so people can use your stuff.

It’s really hard to take them seriously when they haven’t (yet) done that.
You're certainly welcome to go find the discussion threads on Github where people were posting use cases and screenshots. I already found my solution: don't use Github.
I’m pretty sure Apple could figure this out pretty easily by running it on an Android device themselves, considering they control the endpoints it talks to
A couple things I miss from not having dedicated QA:

Yeah the wording is awkward; the supernova isn’t some sort of force of nature separate from the star that came and ripped it apart, it was the star ripping itself apart.

These are some of the first images we’ve probably inside the after effects due to the nature of the scope.
Yeah, that's true of anything related to the finance sector IMHO regardless if it's COBOL or Java or Python.

The language you happen to be using in your system is almost inconsequential in the grans scheme of things, because it's like 1% of everything that's going on and that you need to know.

It'd be nice to not have to clamber over folding rear seats to get to a third row. Sitting three across in a car with adequate shoulder room would be more comfortable than the sort of gymnastics one needs to get into the third row of modern suvs. Likewise, more space at the hips would be handy for cops with a full duty belt or old people who've had hip trouble.

>For example, a modern Accord is a big sedan

No, not really.

>mean, hello, have you heard of hybrids? The current Accord hybrid is a huge sedan

No, it really isn't. A Bentley Mulsanne is a huge sedan. A W222 Mercedes is a huge sedan.

...and hybrids have almost no market traction amongst the people who buy domestic cars. The complexity of the hybrid powertrain is a turnoff, despite obvious advantages.

Three or four kids? Minivan. Three or four adult children, or friends? Sedan with a proper roofline. Watching people fold themselves in half to crawl inside a minivan to get to the back seats is just painful.

>But today, the Crown Vic is like a foreign object on the road, more similar to classic cars from 50 years ago than the type of car a typical person is looking to buy today.

Classic cars...the ones that people collect? The ones that are worth more in the future? Funny, that.
Dedicated config languages are the best usually. Jsonnet/Cue/friends.

Failing that if you actually need/want a procedural/non-pure language then I think Kotlin or Ruby take the cake. Both have extremely strong support for DSLs which IMO is key to reaching a modicum of usability.
I seriously believe there's no institutional knowledge left at Microsoft. Seemingly everything they've been doing in the last five years has been the exact same thing inexperienced organizations who are used to the layers of abstraction do. They even failed at keeping their UI chimp simple, which was the one thing you could reliably give them credit for, even if it ended up being ugly and unwieldy at times. There's seemingly three operating systems hiding in Windows 11 and none of them were designed even knowing the others exist.
It wasn’t always like this. Nvidia did the initial heavy lifting to get cuda off the ground to a point where other people could use it.

In fact, according to a Google ngram and books search, no such term can be attested prior to the rise of the Nazis. There was no single-word brownshirt, capitalized or not, and brown shirt (two words) wasn't used as any sort of idiom referring to an oppressive military though or anything of the sort.

It also seems that a two-word form Brown Shirt also saw some use (in reference to the Nazis).

To take that analogy a step further: third parties can sell messaging apps for iOS.

Over the years I've been surprised by how well advertising works, and how easily people can be manipulated. I'd say it's obvious that these things could work at some level, but the magnitude and degree of sophistication still surprises me.
Is there any chance we can zap its general direction with a radio beam and then listen with a huge radio telescope to get an accurate radar fix on where it is?

Bravo! :D
> You just said yourself that doing them frame perfect yields a better version of the move. The input is difficult because of the potential reward.

I also said the other half of that: that the result is that people grind until they can do it 100% in their sleep, and thus all it forms is a "you must be this tall to play this character" barrier.

Unlike the example in Street Fighter it actively works against having a balanced game, since now you have to nerf the move because the people who ground it frame-perfect are too strong, which wouldn't have affected anyone who didn't stick their nose to the grindstone but now they get to eat the nerf too, so the character ends up about level with other characters when you're frame-perfect, which isn't demanded of other characters. We saw this exact antipattern happen with Ivy in Soul Calibur 6.

There's an argument to be made that the arcane input provides a tell to the opponent when it's used outside of a buffered section in some other move's lag, but that same argument would work with a less pointlessly arcane input, like a double half circle.
Use it again! Thunderbird has a built-in Usenet client and you can configure it to connect to any number of NNTP servers.

If the cookware is metal you can use electrolysis.

Car battery charger clamped with an electrode to sacrificial metal plate and an electrode to cookware; both hanging apart from each other in a bath of electrolyte made of water + sodium carbonate. Let it work for a day or so in a well ventilated area (it will create hydrogen gas).
Even if this stupid idea were true, in fact nobody prevents Usenet spammers from reaching those who want to be reached.

If you think that spam is a form of expression, and you're interested in it, all you have to do is post a few articles and use your real e-mail address in your From: header.

Then no overbearing NNTP server admin will stand between you and your spammer friends.
With a little savviness most of it has workarounds, and at least for custom pc builds it's still the easiest OS to deal with. I do wish there were more OS options with support for latest hardware without needing to manually deal with drivers.
Most people who use iMessage here have literally no idea this is even happening and would not care if I told them. It's still just as hard as it's always been to get all of your friends/contacts to "just switch to WhatsApp".
Hydraulic Jump on interstellar scale.

Heliopause. The heliopause is the theoretical boundary where the Sun's solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium; where the solar wind's strength is no longer great enough to push back the stellar winds of the surrounding stars. This is the boundary where the interstellar medium and solar wind pressures balance.
We never had the launch rate in the 1960s that we do today. It really doesn’t matter if you believe Musk or not, NASA is contracting with SpaceX to use Starship (and others) for lunar surface missions of far greater capability than Apollo. Our missions to Mars also far exceed what we did in the 60s and 70s, both the US and China are funding and planning sample return missions, in addition to lunar surface bases. And Starship is so capable, it’s launching more for a single Artemis mission than all Apollo combined or all the mass needed for NASA’s Crewed Mars Design Reference Architecture 5.0. And Starship is just one of half a dozen RLVs being developed as we speak (with metal bent, engines test firing). We will soon leave the high water mark of Apollo far behind.
