I just did MDMA 3 times in my life with controlled dose and environment. I don't recommend drug use.

When I first tried it I just realized alcohol is not fun. In fact is a shitty drug. We think we are having a good time because everybody drinks, and that's what you do, and it's so tied to our social life. But If we hang out more, and didn't used like a social crutch we'll surely have the same or more fun.

Lately I found that coffee make's me much more fun than some beers, I am very sensitive to coffee. I have a BLAST, and also people around me, while with +4 beers I laugh a little but I become kind of numbed, lazy funny, as I say.

I hope this is not off topic. But when talking about alcohol I think that the problem is how it's seen socially.
Right, just like Ukraine could just stop the war right now by surrendering unconditionally, and all Ukrainians who are dying in the war are entirely their own government's responsibility, right? This argument goes for both sides of every war, hence it's completely meaningless.

What the hell happened to D3. All the latest tutorials began to be highly observable dependent, to the point that I prefer to use older D3 libraries just so that I can work my way through someone else's 2015 tutorial and come out with code that seems at least lean and clean.
If solar panels were a net energy negative, they couldn't be made and operated for a profit[1]. It's such an obvious lie, it's just painful.

Very early solar cells, the type used to power calculators and the like, may have been so inefficient that their lifetime power generation didn't offset the energy cost of their production. That doesn't matter because the scale is tiny, and the portability and the elimination of batteries is the point, not net energy return.

Someone probably got it in their mind that "solar can't work" back in the 1960s or 70s based on this, and refused to budge half a century later when solar is the cheapest form of grid-scale energy.

[1] This is actually a great way to estimate the total energy that went into a product. It must be less than the wholesale price (or cost-of-manufacture), otherwise at least one profit-motived organisation must be selling the product, its raw materials, or the energy inputs below cost and losing money on purpose. Only in rare cases like gov subsidies, state-owned corporations, etc... is this rule violated.
This was a great read. I wonder if the reason for the game client surprise crashing could be investigated the same way? Do the executable integrity checks run during runtime? What if one of those fails while it’s running, do you get a different disconnection message?

Yes, the problem is exaggerated by the eagle people and the fossil fuel people and the nuclear people and simultaneously underreported by the wind energy industry and the renewables people etc. This should not surprise you.

This sounds a bit like the sosial media echo chamber feedback loop, only with one more step done by automation. Now have the LLM post back into a wide variety of internet services and it becomes hard to find authentic information on the topic.
The devs behind NovelAI have been talking about their training on the discord a little bit. According to their messages, it took about the same amount of compute to finetune the model, as it took for StabilityAI to train SDXL itself.

No wonder other people struggle to train it, if it takes >=128 A100s to get the model to perform better than SD1.5 on only slightly OOD tasks (anime pictures, in this case.)
> There is a strong correlation between air pollution and rapidly improving quality of life.

There is a strong correlation between air pollution and industrialization and a strong correlation between industrialization and quality of life. That doesn't mean pollution improves quality of life, it means you want industrialization without pollution.

To take a specific example, the ban on leaded gasoline was Good. Lead is powerfully toxic, the science on this is solid, and the negative consequence of the ban is that gasoline costs marginally more if at all.

Now you can list many more examples of the EPA imposing stupid rules with a marginal benefit that doesn't even exceed their implementation costs which in aggregate significantly increase the cost of everything while having negative overall value.

But it's not physically impossible to repeal all of those and keep the ban on leaded gasoline. The question is how to accomplish that in practice, and to maintain that as a stable equilibrium.
That's a deal! Wasteful spending, personal profit, and congressional privilege all go together hand in hand.

This appears to be a different Observable (for Swift).
If you count communication signalling, you do not need to go that exotic. Gigabit Ethernet has 5 levels.

At the chip level, it is quite common to see tri-state pins, where the states are: high, low, high-impedidence (e.g, let the rest of the circut set the voltage level). You also sometimes see chips that want a to support a handful of potential values have a pin that can be pulled to multiple intermediate voltages; although you typically hardwire the value with resistors.

If you go back far enough, decimal computers were common. The first "real" computer was thr ENIAC which was finished in 1945, and was decimal based. Although even before that, there were more primitive digital computational devices of both the binary and decimal variaty.
If only we gave as much thought into the energy production and transmission before the energy consuming devices.
No not at the moment. The actual risk is low but it is still in the realm of possibility. It is also one of highest cost potential conflicts still in the realm of possibility.

Both countries would strike the other down in a heart beat if there wasn't a huge economic cost associated with war.

Yes, that's the one. These lectures seem to repeat yearly so there're also playlists with the updated content from 2021, 2022 and 2023.

There's also an "advanced" playlist and there're plenty of other interesting lectures about the memory.

As another observer of this debate, I disagree completely with brabel, and think that your assessment of your opponent's "arguments" is in fact correct: they're dismissing contemporary US estimates which are well-documented, and which we know were not even intended at the time to be shared with civilians as "propaganda" is hilarious, and divorced from reality. It's probably not worth debating the matter with these particular opponents.
I know some people who just got through med school by reading, using Anki, and watching videos of past lectures at 2x speed. Lectures are a horrible way to learn and watching someone slowly write something down on a blackboard or whiteboard is a despicable use of a learner's time.

Imagine if people had to discover algebra instead of learning it. We'd probably still be subject to the whims of kings and priests.

(to what extent have we made progress in software by standing on each others' shoulders instead of each others' toes, and to what extent have we been fortunate that the EEs have been standing on each others' shoulders this short century?)

Note that I'm not anti-discoverability in general — it's just the ticket for GUIs. I just happen to believe that attempting to make CLIs discoverable would nerf their greatest power: that single-character changes can have drastic effects on behaviour. We have high display bandwidths, even in our pockets, so why not have GUIs for infrequently used software and CLIs for power used software?
I can’t both listen well and take (extensive) notes. I have to pick one. Listening in class tends to be better, because then I can ask questions and will have followed along with what’s going on at least once. If the topic’s at all tricky for me, I will gain almost no understanding if I focus on notes instead, and sure, I’ll have notes, but I’ll otherwise be starting from scratch. I will not have followed what they’re about, when taking them.
Sounds interesting, do you have a repo with your fixes somewhere?

A typical dji drone is more advanced and cheaper then all other drones of the same size and caliber. dji is pretty much the best at it right now.

As for the good stuff like the F-35, the US still dominates. The overall problem is that it's like 100000x the cost. Take this, if the US lost it's entire navy in an instant it would take the US over a decade to rebuild. If the same thing happened to China they can rebuild that Navy in a year.

I still just use Bootstrap and vanilla JS for all my projects. I also write CSS manually to adjust and fine tune the design.

This allows me to have total control over every aspect of the project, while ensuring top notch performance.

Native web components are also a very powerful tool if you take the time to understand how they work properly.

I looked into updating my setup many times over the years, but the only advancements I feel are concrete seem to come from new native html APIs and CSS capabilities.

For everything else, the introduced convenience does not justify the huge overhead in terms of complexity, performance loss and added fragility.
The 20th century is finally over and we're reverting to pre-Napoleonic model of military and technology - military technology as a meme and synonym for future civilian high-tech is no more; the flow of technologies reverses and increasingly more will become dual-role technologies with military applications because civilian versions will simply be milestones ahead of military head commits, and this will have implications on...

I was letting my old friend rubber-duck on me with these topics, I think 5 < x < 10 years ago. I don't know who he was quoting, sounds kind of right in retrospective.
I think they somewhat miss the point with 'the LLM could carry out actions'. Sure, it could, but in most cases the ability for models themselves to act will have guardrails.

The likely bigger issue is that a human believes what the model says and acts on it. Poisoning an LLM used in e.g. online learning or HR in this way, unfortunately a lot of people either aren't strong critical thinkers to begin with, or are placed in roles/situations where they're disempowered. "Trust the machine and you won't get fired".

Make more noise about bad UI design.

As far as I'm concerned, this particular behaviour is a product of an incorrectly designed user interface. Within the Windows-style clipboard paradigm, pressing 'copy' in a text field has always been a command saying "copy my selection to the clipboard". The program ignores half of this command and acts in a surprising way.
> But why not knock on them? They had a lot of promise and a lot of hype when they were being touted as simpler and cheaper and just overall better. Somehow they ended up being more expensive, (...)

I don't think EVs were ever sold as cheaper or overall better. I recall they were marketed as cheaper to run on short commutes, but at the expense of having a large upfront price, having shorter autonomies, and requiring relatively high logistics and route planning.

There's also the environmental and geopolitical angle, but it was always clear that potential customers were expected to pay a premium for that privilege. In fact, many countries even put together hefty subsidy programs to make EVs more competitive.

100 microwatts over 50 years. At $.10/kWh, that's less than half a penny worth of electricity.
I'd need to look up the individual scrapers for a fair comparison, since I tend to forget/mixup the challenges. Some scrapers have been around for 10 years and only required little updates.

In general the more native HTML elements and the more descriptive CSS classes are used the easier it gets. Disadvantageous is when great parts of a doc page are built using JavaScript, e.g. when the whole nav is generated dynamically as the nav is typically the source for categorization/grouping on devdocs.

What truly set them apart wasn't inventory. Any large physical retailer could match back them.

It was inventory plus ease of use. Which is customer obsession.

One click purchase. Next day delivery. Flat fee shipping (prime). No questions asked drop-off returns. True, useful reviews. Good algorithmic sorting. Best in class logistics.

It was really much better than anything else online.

Now reviews are shit, searching products is a nightmare of sorting through clones and knockoffs, marketplace returns are hit or miss... and that's why it's worse.
Another really annoying fact about drop shadows, is that Android choose to implement the light source pretty much where your nose is. So when a view with drop shadow moves closer to the bottom of the screen, its drop shadow increase visibility at the bottom of the view and decrease visibility at the top. This makes it's impossible to match specs given by designers on Android.
https://docs.rs/typenum/latest/typenum defines a "reasonable" implementation of integer arithmetic including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (and abs, and remainder, and a bunch of other "standard" integer ops).

Good point. But isn't there a similar issue with things like 'now'? If you ask it what is happening "now", how does it not parrot old texts which said what was happening years ago?
You know, for years people said the same thing in Ukraine about Russia. Sadly, an authoritarian regime (anything not democratic, mafia state, even a good old fashioned kingdom, or dictatorship) is always a threat for not just neighbours enjoying freedom and prosperity, but any such country around the world. Especially now that media and Internet can counter any state propaganda showing how great a paradise North Korea, China, Iran, or Russia is.

Why did Russia absolutely have to attack Ukraine? Because it's very existence in peace with the west, eventual economic prosperity (like Poland, Czech Rep. etc), eventual diminishing of corruption as the country implements new laws are an example what Russia could be. Why is Poland the most hated country by ordinary state TV watching Russians? Because it's a medium sized country that achieved success being a part "of the West". The typical part of the Russian imperial (designed to enslave others) narrative is: Every strong partner will exploit a weaker one. Democracy is a lie. All you do by becoming democratic is you hide the corruption and you switch one ruler for another. China uses the same narrative, but internally. That's why these countries will do absolutely everything to poison the society in the US and any democratic country. When they are prevented of doing so (and they will, because people will learn what is the truth) and their regimes inevitably collapse economically (as China is starting right now) war is the only way these people can stay in power. So yes, a war between autocracies and free countries is inevitable unless free countries are strong enough militarily to be able to win it in few months tops. A prolonged war, like what we're seeing in Ukraine is actually a huge benefit for autocracies, because it removes the only thing they fear the most, their own people uprising.

It really depends on the person. I’m like you to a degree (though it depends what I’m doing) but I know people who literally get energised the more alcohol they drink. Friends ordering a huge round of drinks at 4am just as the bar is closing, etc. I’ve also had times on alcohol which were pretty euphoric and not that far from MDMA. Also we have to consider what it does to sex, which is quite amazing.

Alcohol is a delicate balancing act though. For example, if I’m in a good mood and we’re doing something reasonably active it’s amazing, but if I’m just drinking on the sofa I just become more lethargic.
