the "why so bright" part is simple: given same current, blue is noticeably brighter. A 5 mA current will make passable red, but flashlight-level blue. If you are old-school designer who got used to red and green LEDs, all your blues would be super bright. I still worry when I see 2K or a 5K resistor next to a LED: "Wait, that's too much resistance and too little current, user is not going to see it... hm, which color is it? Are you sure it's that sensitive? Maybe decrease resistance a bit just to make sure you don't have to redo the PCBs?"

Which also means that blue LEDs draw _less_ power than red and green ones, for the same brightness. Thinking about this, this could be a one reason to use them in battery-backed devices.

The "less expensive" part may be was true in the past, but is bogus today: a random search shows $0.01468 for red[0] and $0.01572 for blue[1] in 10K quantity. 0.1 cent is not going to affect your final cost, unless you are into super-cheap devices.

> IMO what is disingenuous is that the vast majority of prisoners belong in the first category

I'm not sure evidence bares that out. I always like to reference this great project when discussing this topic[1]. Some 63% of people in state prison in the US are there for some violent crime, which is an unfortunately muddy category. I don't have the exact stat at hand but something like 70% of people incarcerated for the first time have 5 or more priors.

My point is there is a vast middle where most prisoners have some kind of violent conviction and half a dozen or more priors. It's a thorny problem to think about how to best keep communities safe, and to best serve these people who are falling through the cracks. However I think its fair to say that some of them probably need a few years to cool off where they can't be a danger to others. And I say this as someone who is highly critical of the carceral state and generally doesn't want to see any person lose their freedom.

She hasn't written a single book that wasn't field-changing, award-winning, and on the NYT bestseller list. (Of course, the same could be said for me.)
I played Minesweeper almost every day during the summer in the 90's. I got so good at it that I eventually whittled down my time to a mere 17 seconds on the largest puzzle (expert). At that point I figured I couldn't get any faster, and moved on to a new game. Years later, I was looking at the Guiness Book of World Records and noticed that the record for the expert minesweeper is something like 25 seconds.

Of course, I'd have to dig up my old computer from a landfill to try and prove it, so I just have to live out the rest of my days knowing that I'm an unrecognized world record holder.
So the assumption here is that the pipeline for energy storage (including the human digestive system, insulin machinery and adipose tissue) converts calories to fat mass at a constant rate of efficiency, regardless of whether you're currently underweight, or at 350% of healthy bodyweight. Is there any human-built energy storage system that exhibits this type of performance? Do we really think that the human body exhibits it?
IIRC Twitter charges a fair bit more per impression than IG/FB/etc. (like $3 vs $.50?) but they also average higher engagement/click-through's than their contemporaries, like 10-15x (again if memory serves). It's been a while since I looked at these stats though.

What I don't recall is the amount of ads flowing on each site. I do believe facebook generally has more ads happening than the rest.
I would imagine that’s due to egress rules?

But searching (and assuming I found the right thing) it looks like they’re made and installed in some places in the USA.

Free speech in what sense? Freedom from government sanction (outside of the realm of things like incitement, defamation, breaking classification, etc) or freedom from any accountability and consequences? The former I support entirely, the latter is simply not a real thing and never has been. People who frame their desire to be free from a public reaction to what they say as "free speech" make me suspect their motives in making those claims.
LISPS have been pioneering and cross pollinating with new language features since LISP was invented.
I absolutely agree that in some situations, text that looks like an exact copy isn't plagiarism. Intent matters!

But don't pick one allegation- consider all of them. When considered in whole, it's seems fairly clear her modus operandi is to 'copy-paste' entire sections of text and then change small numbers of words. And I suspect she had the intent- to do less work to create text that would get published. But I'm not 100% certain and I don't know what mechanism the plagiarism occurred by.

I dojn't think arguing that identical/similar text describing a different analysis is a good line of argument, either- wouldn't text describing charts that were completely different be.... much more different?
It's debatable the extent to which JavaScript contributed to the ubiquity of the web for interactive applications, versus the extent to which interactive web applications contributed to the ubiquity of JavaScript.

Licensing doesn't prevent similar disasters from happening. Licensing is simply too low-level to prevent problems. Licensing is a mechanism to scapegoat individual engineers. It doesn't fix issues with systems. And the penalty of losing a license is simply too cheap compared against the cost of major accidents.

Engineering projects are usually performed by businesses, often across jurisdictional boundaries. Licensing is usually a monopoly within a jurisdiction.

Avoiding accidents requires solutions at the level of a business activity: and it needs to cover all the aspects of the activity (not just the coalface of engineering, but the management and sales and every other aspect that can affect safety).

If software engineering requires licenses then open source cannot be used. Good luck starting from scratch and introducing other risks of proprietary solutions!

An example: a Lambourghini tractor has a fault in the steering software that causes the tractor to overturn and kills a farmer in Nabraska. How do you expect software engineering licensing to prevent that?
If it was HTML and a lisp yeah it might have faltered as you suggest. But I think if it was all lisp … maybe just maybe things would be different :)
(because the tax office has full access to everyone's transaction history, of course)

In what country? It maybe possible for tax agency to request access to the transaction history in case of the audit, but I doubt they just get a feed of all transactions.

SpruceID (YC W21) | Full REMOTE | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | spruceid.com

Spruce lets users control their data across the web. We are creating the world’s best open source software for user-centric digital identity. Instead of users logging into platforms, we think platforms should request to access data vaults controlled by users.

We hire programmers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation. Our products are composed from a combination of industry-trusted frameworks, applied cryptography, new interoperable identity standards (W3C, ISO/IEC, IETF, and OpenID), and custom backend libraries.

Select roles:

Senior Product Manager: Help drive the growth of a new product family which empowers government agencies and enterprises to manage the entire lifecycle of digital credentials for a wide range of use cases. This role will be responsible for developing product vision, roadmap, user stories, timelines, and implementation strategy.

Software Engineer, Android: Build software prototypes and product features from start to finish for Android and iOS, embedding our Rust core.

For other people who might not have followed completely: the NTAB don’t say (explicitly) that forcing children to occupy a seat of their own would result in 60 times as many deaths. They estimated the risk of lap infant deaths as 1 every 10 years, and then they estimated that if the cost of travel increased for families, enough families would instead choose to drive that 60 infants would die in road accidents in that same 10 year period.
> If people who reverse engineer things like Windows APIs can be sued simply because they have viewed leaked Windows source code and may implement something similar to it, on accident, I think "AI" should be held to the same standard.

It already is. The Windows source code is proprietary data, having unauthorized access to it is already disallowed. You already can't legally use proprietary or pirated data in AI training for the same reasons why you can't use it anywhere else. But this conversation is about the use of publicly posted information that's already out on the internet. It's the equivalent of Microsoft openly publishing the MS-DOS source code and then suing people for viewing it and potentially getting ideas from it.

> Also "AI" is not a human, and there is no proof that it "learns like humans". or that it should be even compared to humans in any way, so none of this matters anyways.

It makes absolutely no sense that a ruling would apply to automation and not humans. If I can legally do a thing myself, can you come up with an argument why I can't build a machine that does that thing for me? The only exception that I can think of is cases where human health and safety is at stake, which is an edge case that doesn't apply to generating text or images.
Every time I hear this story I become depressed that we could have had Scheme as the lingua franca of the web. Life would be so much better.
You will probably like Jujutsu, which takes much inspiration from Mercurial, and even has a few prior Mercurial hackers working on it. It uses the Git data model underneath (so feel free to use GitHub), but has an entirely rebuilt UX and set of algorithms: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

It isn't a 1-to-1 hg clone, either. But tools like revsets are there, "anonymous branching", log templates, cset evolution is "built in" to the design, etc. There is no concept of phases, we might think about adding that, but there is a concept of immutable commits, so you don't overwrite public ones. The default output is designed to be succinct and beautiful, so it remains relevant on high-traffic repositories with lots of work-in-progress patches, and many developers.

It also has many novel features that make it stand out, like the working-copy-commit. We care a lot about performance and usability; to the extent performance is bad, some of it comes down to piggybacking on Git's data model and existing performance issues. Give it a shot. I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

Disclosure: I am a developer of Jujutsu. I do it in my spare time.

P.S: You might alternatively like Sapling, from Meta. It actually is a fork of Mercurial (you can see it in the UX and features) but is very different now; in particular it also uses the Git data model for the storage layer, so it works with GitHub. It will probably feel more familiar than Jujutsu at first. And it has some absolutely amazing features like `sl web` we can't match yet. https://sapling-scm.com/
Here'1.s some context on this issue:

1. If mass incarceration worked, the US would be the safest country in the world. The US has 5% of the world population but 25% of the world's prisoners [1]. The US has the highest rate of incarceration of any country in the world [2];

3. Executing prisoners is really expensive. There have been a ton of studies on this. For example, Maryland estimates that each executed prisoners has a total cost of $3 million [3] once you factor in higher security incarceration and legal defense in appeals;

4. Since 1973, at least 195 people sentenced to die have been exonerated [4];

5. Death sentences are significantly more likely when the allegend offender is black and the victim is white [5]. The point is that this has almost nothing to do with "justice" and everything to do with anger and vengeance.

6. Of the people xonerated, 25% had confessed and 11% had plead guilty [6], both of which show massive problems with police practices and the difficulty, costs and risks in defending one's innocence.

Restorative justice is both cheaper and more effective at reducing crime. The biggest problem to solve is income inequality.

Unfrotunately, locking people up is big business. It creates jobs. Voncict labor is an unfortunate loophole in the Thirteenth Amendment otherwise banning slavery (eg [7]). Prisoners increase population without increasing the number of voters (sort of; it's a little complex). Prisoners are further milked through outrageous commissary fees, communication fees (leters and phone), medical co-pays and the failure to provide basic living conditions like sufficient food and medical care.

Mass incarceration and retributive justice have been an abject failure in the US. Spend a few minutes looking at Riker's Island. You may be tempted to call it an exception. You shouldn't. It's systemic. Retributive justice simply does not work so we need actual reform of this system.

Is there a non-shitty version of LinkedIn somewhere that I don’t know about? The one I use seems to have turned into a version of Facebook with rants trying to get me to buy into glorifying the grind instead of photos of kids and political rants.

Milei is already trying to allow employers to pay employees in meat and milk instead of currency. Anyone who is looking towards Argentina as an exciting example of what Libertarianism can do in a crisis, get ready to be deeply disappointed. I agree that (western) government has a severe problem in how it can't keep regulations streamlined, up to date, and able to be realistically met, but looking to the situation in Argentina as anything other than a disaster is telling about the view point of the author.
Given that Twitter now consists of Elon and whatever ragtag bunch of H1Bs are keeping the lights on, how can they possibly even go to the trade desk with a straight face? They literally have zero meaningful metrics at this point, and the brand value is trending into the negative.

"Who are you scared of and who are you angry at?"

If you're angry at someone for using/possessing IV drugs, why lock them up in prison with the violent offenders, e.g, the people we're scared of?

If you inject people with non-violent crime histories into a violent prison, what do you think the outcome is going to be? More people we're scared of.
Is that true, though? I know colleges bar speakers that espouse disagreeable views but do they prevent students from espousing disagreeable opinions?

Résumé: Hi! I'm a Technical Product Manager (3-year experience), with a background in ML (1 1/2-year experience, plus a couple of internships in Deep Learning).

I've got a very horizontal skillet — in that I'm equally happy to read ML papers, design components in Figma, run UX tests with users or write a bit of code. I'm a 0-1, hands-on type of PM, most comfortable crafting things and working in small organisations where having multiple roles is valuable.

I launched several features from scratch (while coding and designing a good chunk), including one that started as a pilot and became a major feature within the core product, leading to a publication in a top-tier academic journal. Led my own small team within the Product department and multiple squads.

Spent the bulk of my career in healthcare/life sciences and creative/entertainment industries. Currently under a (negotiable) non-compete agreement that prevents me from working in healthcare for 18 months, but happy to explore other fields as well. Not interested in a finance/insurance position.

Technologies: the usual Product stack, design & creatives suites (Figma, Photoshop), Python (eager to learn more languages) for ML (sklearn, PyTorch), analytics (Jupyter, Pandas and the usual stat libs) or web frameworks (Django), Docker.

Email: tonal.dates.0l [at] icloud [dot] com.

CV: on request.

Thanks a lot! And happy new year everyone!

The thing is you can't put it aside. People are leaving in droves, as are advertisers. At this point brands don't want to even be on X, much less advertise there. That compares _badly_ to other platforms, needless to say.
> We have both exceptions and 2 special marker types (null, undefined). Different libraries will use different methods to signify errors. See Rust for how to do this well.

This is in part because JS’s exceptions support is the worst: catch clauses can’t be filtered by type so you have to catch/filter/rethrow, and before ES6 subtyping Error was essentially impossible.

So even if you are fine with exceptions, you don’t want to use them in JS. Even more so before async proper as they obviously did not work correctly through callback chains.
I just fixed my roller blinds last week which wouldn't hold and would roll down by themselves. The plastic clips that hold the clutch in place cracked on one side so the inner plastic tube had no friction to hold the inner springs in place. Broke a toothpick up into some small pieces and inserted them into the gap of the clip to keep it pried open and my problem was solved.

I thought these would be the type of things this site would go over instead of buying replacement parts (based on the site name), but this site will actually help me identify the correct size of a new clutch if my toothpicks ever fail.

It is also suspicious because it means someone has assigned a 0% prior to their being insane or in some sort of Plato's-cave scenario - which is hard to justify.

The minimum possible Baysian prior is a base rate of "my senses are just not picking up reality and/or my memory is catastrophically compromised and/or I cannot process logic right now due to some reason" which while low is never going to be 0%. There are too many known ways for human brains to fall over. 0% priors are unjustifiable.

> Waymo is safer than a human driver already.

Is that data controlled for environment? I.e. it must only compare Waymo driving with human drivers in exactly the same environment. Same road, same conditions, same time, etc. Waymo doesn't take any difficult routes.
One of the things that get trotted out a lot when talking about the higher-than-the-general-population incarceration rate of black men is that a higher-than-the-general-population rate of single-parent black families. Which, in turn, drives a higher-than-the-general-population number of black teens into risky/illegal behaviors. And the cycle continues. Its not even controversial: children of two-parent homes tend to be more successful and spend less time in the judicial system*. So in a very real sense, fighting to keep these kids' fathers out of jail in the first place helps kids.

*. There are also a host of other issues that contribute to the incarceration rate, and the non-legal issues that cause one parent to leave are also (arguably) a driver of criminal activity. But in general, the less time a kid's parent spends in prison and the more rehabilitated that parent is upon release, the less likely that parent is to re-offend and the better off that kid is going to be.

I think "death to queers" doesn't fall under freedom of speech because it seems to directly call for violence- speech doesn't need to lead to actions to be considered uncovered by free speech rules.

The other example you gave is free speech, because it's not a call to violence.

(I am applying my own interpretation of free speech laws, as well as the general understanding of legitimate free speech in the US; please assume I have a reasonable level of education on this).
