I signed on with netflix at their start and kept the DVD plan right up until the end. Somewhat ironically the first thing I'd do after getting a DVD was create a digital copy, but I agree selection back that couldn't be beat by any streaming service since (with the possible exception of Amazon, if you're willing to pay for the rental of individual shows on top of what you're already paying them monthly for prime)

If the trend of never releasing shows on physical media continues, we'll never get the chance to see something like netflix's DVD service again. Even public library systems will only be able to provide what was previously released on disk. Considering how public libraries are already pushing people to third party e-book services I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually stopped offering physical media to card holders too.
In security, it should be ALWAYS assumed that the users are naive and will use the least possible means for an account security, it is the responsibility of the service provider to enforce these policies, let’s see:

- Did 23andMe enforced a strong password policy during the account creation with X minimum and combination of chars with complexity meter?

- Did they send a periodic reminder about account security, update passwords, secret questions and the likes?

- Did they enforce the 2FA?

- Failed authentication attempts count?

And those on top of my head, NIST, PCI and other standards have more details about those, in fact, the security level should be provided by such services should pass more than the “standards”, as once these data are leaked, you won’t be able to change it, so blaming that in the users shows the lack of accountability, glad I never trusted my DNA in any of these services.
Those are real costs. If it isn't babysitting and isn't education, then what is it?
Some people love living in dense housing areas in a city. Others love living with more space in the suburbs or even rural areas. Often members of each group have a difficult time understanding why the other group has the preferences they do.

I've lived in a high-rise in a city and on acres in a rural area. I vastly prefer the latter. Right now, I live on about 1/5 acre in the edge of a proper city, which is a pretty good compromise to get the kids what will benefit them and still have some space and not have neighbors right up my ass every time I turn around.
RawJS requires TypeScript?

I’m always excited when I see an attempt to replace React, but TypeScript is definitively not raw JavaScript.
That's awesome! That's exactly how modern decompilers deal with a special type of goto occurrence. They reduce gotos (or completely eliminate them) by introducing a `while(true)` loop, followed by corresponding `continue` and `breaks`... we all, of course, know that `while(true)` did not exist in the source, but it's a nice hack!

We even do this in the angr decompiler, found here: https://github.com/angr/angr/blob/8e48d001e18a913ecd4ed2e995...
I watched a video once on YouTube about ants and there was a section where they encountered termites and had an all out battle.

The termite warriors would literally bite off the ant's limbs in 1 quick bite.

They mentioned the antibiotics allowed ants to resume basic functionality within a day. Imagine losing your arm at 9am and then still be useful by 3pm with no more than a few seconds or a minute of someone giving you antibiotics. We're not talking about regeneration here, but walking around and acting as normal as you can be given your missing limb(s).
Yes that’s at the dish but I’m wondering the 15 miles around the dish which I have confirmed from someone who is knowledged on the subject that it does transmit that same power over 15 mi.².

> It doesn’t fundamentally obviate the need to collect a high quality dataset from somewhere else.

You'd think this would be obvious: there's only so much worth you can "mine" out of any given data set. We've probably got lots of room left to further refine existing datasets, but clearly you need a high-quality dataset to start with to learn anything at all, right? And yet I wonder ...

> In AlphaGo Zero there was no external data at all. That’s what I would understand as self play really.

The interesting thing here is the complexity of the strategy -- the crazy amount there is to learn -- vs. the size of the ruleset. The raw materials being mined for strategy here is simply the simple rules, and yet they provide quite an impressive amount of possible learning. Similarly, there seems to be an endless amount that number theorists can learn from the simple rules of integer addition and multiplication.

I can't help but think about Chomsky, about the possibility of an implicit grammar, or psuedo-grammar, or grammar-factory, that all humans seem born with. Is there some threshold of examples of human language beyond which an LLM can inductively reason out the "rules" of our innate grammar-factory, and from there, self-play until it has mastered language as well as humans have? As well as humans ever could?
Thank god, I've had to cobble something like this together for my own notes a couple of times trying to parse papers and was never quite sure if I was missing something.

I understand that frustration. Fortunately, Clojure (and jank) gets around this entirely. Functions can be redefined at any time, even with different signatures, globals as well. References to the will stay intact and will use the latest value; this is also thread-safe.

Ultimately, this isn't something Cling needs to worry about. You can have your cake and eat it, too. If that sounds too good to be true, know that it's how Clojure devs write all programs. We spin up the process and then send code to it from our editors, without needing to tear it down.

jank gives you this, in C++ land, including support for inline C++ within your Clojure code. I'll have a lot more demos coming out this year, but you can also check out the jank blog or my talks at ROOT's compiler research group and Clojure Conj 2023.
Yes, I (as well as the commenter above, I assume) just doubt that the sheer number of tests will do this in a useful manner.

If you have a giant bunch of code that has been written without testability in mind, adding tons of tests mostly just locks down the interfaces of every single segment of code, making refactoring really hard to a point where the tests are useless because they have to be rewritten as well anyways.

Good test are written for good code that is written with testability in mind. In that case, only the relevant interfaces are proplery tested and not every little internal thing, which allows for proper refactoring and expansion without fiddling with the tests. This however also yields a lot fewer tests, which is why I doubt this large number of tests can be high quality and/or beneficial.
They go out to 4th cousins. I've got 1500 people that 23andMe says are my relatives.

> 6.9 million accounts had information stolen because they were "relatives" of 14,000 users? Something doesn't add up there.

It adds up. The key is that for the attackers to get my data they only have to compromise 1 of my 1500 relatives.

14 000 out of 14 000 000 accounts were compromised, so 1 in a 1000.

In other words the attacked has 1500 chances to roll a 1 on a d1000 if they want to get my data. The probability they can do that is 1-(1-0.001)^1500 which is 0.78.

If everyone had about as many relatives as I do, we'd expect the attackers to get data on nearly 11 million people from those 14 000 compromised accounts. Getting "only" 6.9 million suggests that on average people have a little under 700 relatives.
My guess is that they use parameterized tests. With those, adding a dozen new tests takes only very slightly longer than adding one.

Here's the kind of thing I mean: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/45b88f2056e0a4da204... - pytest displays that as 5 passing tests.

That's the average total cost to own a new car, not the average total cost to own a car. The average car is something like 12 years old, so the average cost will be significantly less. I haven't had a car payment for something like 22 years. Over that time, used cars have gotten to be better than new cars in the 80s used to be.

> it'd be better if they were option for living your life rather than a necessity

I totally agree with that. I 100% support other people having the option to own or not own a car and accept the tradeoffs that result from their choice.

Here [1] are some "frauds" from Stanford University, Oxford University and University College London telling you exactly that.

From their abstract:

``One of the most exciting and promising novel architectures, the Transformer neural
network, was developed without the brain in mind. In this work, we show that
transformers, when equipped with recurrent position encodings, replicate the precisely tuned spatial representations of the hippocampal formation; most notably
place and grid cells. Furthermore, we show that this result is no surprise since
it is closely related to current hippocampal models from neuroscience. We additionally show the transformer version offers dramatic performance gains over the
neuroscience version.``

Axolotls available as pets are bred in captivity. They breed in captivity quite well, so there's no need to take from wild population to support the pet industry. The wild population is diminishing not because of a pet trade but because of environmental degradation of their ecosystem, meaning that reintroduction efforts from the domestic population isn't really possible.
This gets to 90% of BLAS: https://github.com/dsharlet/array/blob/38f8ce332fc4e26af0832...

The less involved versions still get ~70%.

But this is also quite general. I’m claiming you can beat BLAS if you have some unique knowledge of the problem that you can exploit. For example, some kinds of sparsity can be implemented within the above example code yet still far outperform the more general sparsity supported by MKL and similar.

I am opting to interpret your response in the best way possible and am responding in kind spirit.

> your viewpoint really feels like, to phrase it as a software engineering analogy, a new developer that comes into a 20 year old project, looks at what currently exists, calls it all trash, says the people that came before you were dumb and didn't know what they were doing, and you just start rewriting all the code.

Do you think society has peaked and our understanding of civics hasn't evolved? That nothing can ever be better? To continue your analogy, your (unstated) viewpoint is like the stodgy programmer stubbornly sticking to PHP "because it works" and refusing to accept that webtech has evolved and there are better tools. Or a more contemporary way, an old C programmer stubbornly refusing to learn Rust because "C just works". Does it make sense to put Rust into the project? Possibly not, there are many excellent reasons not to. But its a discussion worth having.

> Do you really think all the states and people that decided these things in the past were all stupid, or not following "the science" back then, or just picked start times at random?

If I were to hazard a guess, I imagine most school systems are still bound by the legacy of farmwork and the start/end times are holdovers from that. I doubt the timing has significantly changed since schooling became a primary factor of our lives. But that's just a guess. I would certainly hope that the people who start a new school district are taking into account many factors before dictating a start time.

> Do you really think you know better than all those states and people?

I do not feel the need to be beholden to history for history's sake. My own post acknowledged (one) challenge with changing the start time. But...

> Did the science change since then? Did the reasons to start school early/late change since then?

This is exactly what I and others have posited, yes.

> Maybe they did. But if they did, you could maybe elaborate on that rather than just saying "the science is so clear" and dictating the way things should be.

Others in this thread have posted extensive good research on this very subject for your consumption. I myself have posted a reference to a book I found useful and entertaining. Not every single comment needs to be a doctoral thesis containing every possible scrap of information or interpretation on a subject. This, and other subjects of the like, are artifacts _with context_. Within context of this post, it is in direct response to an article that explains the reason with even more links and a friendly bulleted list.

A mildly provocative analogy is demanding a link to every peer-reviewed journal when discussing climate change. I don't feel the need to point out every scrap of research to state a claim that "Climate change is real". I will merely state, especially in a comment to an article discussing legacy policy around climate change, that climate change is real.

And as I said, before natural radiation is different from anthropological EMF radiation. It’s post and it’s polarized. You can’t compare it to anything natural.

While natural unpolarised EMF/EMR at any intensity cannot induce any specific/coherent oscillation on these molecules, polarized man-made EMFs/EMR will induce a coherent forced-oscillation on every charged/polar molecule within biological tissue. This is fundamental to our understanding of the biological phenomena.

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep14914#:~:text=While%20na....

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8562392/

Thus, in addition to polarization and coherence, the existence of ELFs is a common feature of almost all human-made EMFs. The present study reviews the DNA damage and related effects induced by human-made EMFs. The ion forced-oscillation mechanism for irregular gating of voltage-gated ion channels on cell membranes by polarized/coherent EMFs is extensively described. Dysfunction of ion channels disrupts intracellular ionic concentrations, which determine the cell's electrochemical balance and homeostasis. The present study shows how this can result in DNA damage through reactive oxygen species/free radical overproduction.

I think there's a risk in this kind of article.

It's not that the article is wrong. It's probably accurate that there can be pathological degrees of psychological safety, where there is simply no accountability.

But the proponents of reduced psychological safety ("tough love"/"the beatings will continue until morale improves" types) need little encouragement to take things too far.

And the article is probably mistaken to not consider accountability as a mostly separate dimension from psychological safety. You can have high or low accountability alongside high or low psychological safety.

A reasonable amount of skepticism is fundamental to science. But skepticism can be taken too far. The goal should be to maximize the number of true beliefs that we hold. If I choose not to believe in the mass of the proton or the structure of DNA because of my skepticism, then I have a false belief. The best strategy for maximizing true belief is to accept most of the claims of science at face value, while acknowledging that they might change in the future and that we should update our beliefs when new evidence comes to light.
This is a huge letting off the hook of the people who write the regulations. Companies always want regulations changed, because regulations are not handed down from on high as perfect stone tablets full of rules. They're sometimes bad. So there needs to be a mechanism by which companies lobby to have them changed.

If that is misused, the blame lies with the regulation writers. They get to take free money from people as taxes solely so they can be impartial and write good regulations. If they can't even do that, then why give them free money?
