The .NET immutable collections seem to mostly avert problems like this. For example, ImmutableDictionary.Add<TKey, TValue>(key, value) throws an exception if key already exists with a different value (as determined by an explicit or implicit IEqualityComparer<TValue>).

.NET's (immutable) DateTime, on the other hand, has AddMonths(Int32), which sets the day to Min(original day number, last day of result month), which, while arguably reasonable, isn't obvious without reading the documentation.

My favorite counterintutive DateTime "mutator," however is AddMilliseconds(Double): prior to .NET 7, its floating-point argument is rounded to the nearest integer (!?!).
I love it and agree with other commenters on animations. Any traction on subscriptions? I'm always curious if there's a biz model that works for this kind of game on web (besides ads). It's funny because I think you could absolutely sell it for $4.99 on the app store if you throw it in a native shell but I have a hard time imagining people paying for it in their browser. Would be happily surprised if that's not the case!

As usual when HIPAA is brought up, you're wrong. HIPAA is the most misunderstood law in America.

Hint, the "I" in HIPAA stands for "insurance." A general rule - if an insurance company isn't involved HIPAA doesn't apply. HIPAA is a law that regulates insurance companies and entities that deal directly with insurance companies, not "medical data."

HIPAA doesn't apply to 23andMe. At all. HIPAA only applies to "covered entities" - https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/covered-entities...

I was initially debating whether to use native UI or not. But Compose Multiplatform offered the flexibility to provide UI for multiple platforms, so decided to try that out instead.
I guess I assumed from his anger that he wasn't that successful.
It's indeed not a fully native application except on Android. It uses JetBrain's 'Compose Multiplatform' framework for the Kotlin programming language. Without having written code in it myself, it's difficult for me to work out exactly what its architecture is, but it seems closer to Flutter's approach than a web wrapper. My educated guess is that it renders the application inside an OpenGL/Metal graphics context. On Android, however, it looks like it uses Google's Jetpack Compose components directly.
I'm not sure what it has to do with you that you find the need to rectify it, even construing your assumptions as true (which I dispute).
Yep, the strategy seems to be to legally require AI to be closed SaaS. Otherwise OpenAI doesn't actually have much of a moat. Chips capable of running local AI models are only going to get cheaper, especially as every chip maker is now going in that direction to chase Nvidia.
Prop 13 and high interest rates incentivize Landlords to aggressively price their properties to just break even.

On my property in Seattle-area, my monthly cost is $4k (interest, insurance, and upkeep), but the most I could rent it for is $3.2k/mo.

If the tenants don't pay me rent and utilities, I can't evict them for months.

> But it is not engaging at all and feels nonsensical to me, especially when compared to little alchemy https://littlealchemy2.com/.

On the other hand, Little Alchemy doesn't have answers to the most basic combinations. Air + Earth = Dust, but Dust doesn't combine with Water. Earth + Water = Mud, but Mud doesn't combine with Air. Earth + Earth = Land, but Land doesn't combine with Fire.

It may be more sensical since it limits combinations to 0.01% of what's possible, but I don't think that makes it more interesting.
Way too many people extrapolate from "AI Foo can't do task X" to "AIs in general can never do task X", whether X is a good thing (like playing Go) or a bad thing (like helping build bioweapons). AI right now is pretty much the fastest-moving field in human history. GPT-4 can't revolutionize the economy, and it can't commit mass murder, but we simply don't know if GPT-7 can do either of those things (which likely won't be a pure LLM, but an integrated system with full audio/video abilities, robotics, long-term memory, etc.). We don't know that it can, but it also seems foolish to definitively say that it can't based on previous models, like the people who said that GPT-2's lack of logical reasoning ability proved that LLMs could never reason. We simply don't know, and we won't until it's actually built.
Company research is a very important field, and you can buy datasets (D&S), appliances (Bloomberg) and software/Web apps (LSEG/Refinitiv, Factset) for this purpose.

If your purpose is competitive intelligence, then including information from other sides is crucial. What are analysts saying? etc.
What are customers saying about products? And a lot of info is in financial reports and SEC filings if your target company is public.

There are also commercial providers that let you register a set of Web domains and they will email you once there is a change anywhere, including the "diff" information (before > after), which is also useful for Competitive Intelligence.

It is not trivial given a company name to find the set of homepages that belong to the company (called the "homepage finding" task in information retrieval, there are US government benchmarks on it, such as at the TREC conference, see trec.nist.gov). Once you have the homepage, it is not trivial to reverse engineer, from the Web presence, the org structure of the company (if large).

One area that I am interested in a lot is finding out where companies are going.
For that, you can analyze what people indicate in interviews, R&D talks at more technical conferences, patent applications, acquisitions in unusual areas etc. - at large, this is called "horizon scanning".

There is a lot of money in high-quality datasets about companies for investment management, and there is an under-supply of detailed datasets with systematic coverage of private companies.

I’m not sure what other evidence a court needs when that last paragraph is the definition of a cartel.
It’s a very weird case.

They were sitting on this amount of money for over ten years and couldn’t spend it without leaving a paper trail, and Germans are pretty good at paper trails. It’s “taxes, taxes and taxes” rather than “death and taxes” here.

Personally I would have hosted a German only reverse lottery, where the bitcoins would be divided up between every person that submitted their wallet address and proof of one entry per person with a German identity card. Boom, mass traction of bitcoin in Germany, and you’re god damn Robin Hood. No way the state is going to force millions of people to pay it back.

I disagree, it's the content. While I don't think many would interpret as a legitimate death threat... it is adjacent, and quoting what was more or less a death threat which contributed to murder.

Altering consciousness is a human trait which I support in the end. Doing unreasonable things while in altered states is a consequence, and likewise fine as long as things as nobody really gets hurt.

Saying strange things or stirring up controversy by having unpopular opinions or hurting someone's feelings a little... not a big problem. Apologize and move on.

What happened here is pretty far across the line, though.

It was pretty close to a death threat and served to encourage others to get even closer. I'm not quite sure if it should be illegal, but it should get a public figure fired.

I've been running teams in chromium after having no luck in firefox.

Even in chromium, it's really shaky, for example: some chat items are not displayed after some time

Teams is a total disaster in my opinion, it's one of the top modern tech trends pushing me towards retirement...
Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful answer!
What an odd response. I don't read it that way at all. It just seems to make the very obvious point that being in the legal right doesn't mean anyone is going to want to be associated with you.
Titanic + Iceberg = nothing??
I use Teams through Firefox on Arch. For me it only ever works for chat, not for calls, video or voice. Chat is working today as usual.
Absolutely. In reality, it often fails to do Type gymnastics in Typescript let alone virology.
What? This seems hard to believe. What incentive do operators have to support law enforcement impersonators?
That is one way (and a good one) of classifying consistency models and there relationship to isolation levels. But it's an incomplete one (e.g. there are linearizable variants of snapshot and repeatable read that exist that are not captured there). I'm a big fan of that stuff (and Aphyr's work in general), but that page is the beginning of a conversation and not the end of one.
Thanks, but I'm still going to pass.
Yeah like I said the idea in its current form is a pipe dream from fantasyland but some of the components are enticing from UBI to decriminalizing homelessness. Regardless it is a bad idea.

How did you do this? Was the redaction done by changing the color of the font to white so that the background and text have the same color? Would love to learn how you were able to recover the text.
Are you suggesting it's a red flag for science/mathematics to build upon previous results, to "stand on the shoulders of giants" (as it were)? What are you proposing, that researchers should reproduce all of the results leading up to the current state of the art in their field before embarking on their own original experiments?

Edit: So, if anyone wants to build on Fermat's last theorem, it's not enough that they cite Wiles' paper proving it, but they should have to re-derive the proof themselves?
> Which will be a different domain, often administered by different people, because it's being used for the company's public infrastructure rather than its internal network.

Wat?

I've worked at 3-IT-person academic departments, 30-person start-ups, and 3000-person publicly traded corporations, and I've always seen the same domain used internally and externally.

The only exception is where I'm currently at, where the dumbasses who were here previously (and set things up initially) decided to use .local—instead of the sane thing, which would have been to peal off a sub-domain of the public domain we already have. I'd like to know which illegal substance they were using when that decision was made.

Please have some awareness of how little thought you are putting into dismissing a field where thousands of very smart people are working on solving the problem you describe. In fact, you can correct for the exact problem you describe with sibling studies where people have the same environment but different genes.

It's related in the sense that it's part of a recent pattern of harassment against a similar set of local public officials. It's newsworthy as part of a trend.

Analogous is any other news story that points out any other recent trend.

For example, there is a similar NYT article today about increases in train derailments and accidents since last year. The story mentions East Palestine, OH Norfolk Southern derailment. While they're not blaming Norfolk Southern for the broader increase in accidents, it's something that readers have ALSO heard about that was very prominently in the news and helps ground the trend in a noteworthy example.

It’s technically entirely possible to do this with Kotlin WASM support. I was thinking about it a couple days ago. Maybe a fun experiment to try out.
Graphics is harder. More users means more use cases, needs to work on more platforms, layout and output to work on various resolutions/dpi, GPU/driver dependence and issues.

Arnold Schwarzenegger + Narwhal = Shwarzenwhaler

Shwarzenwhaler + Time Machine = Hitler (with a crown icon)

(I kid you not!)

Yes, but partially.

Chat works fine, same thing for meeting, however the online/away/offline status of coworker can be a little janky sometime (often have a blank dot instead), I cannot share my screen from firefox and most annoying of all, if I get a call from firefox (it always goes on my phone only).

So working fine as a daily drive, but still starting Chromium now and then when I know I'll get a call, or I need to share my screen.

I use arch btw.
Parking lots are a capital investment. The vast majority of "unused" parking lots will be used if they remain in place and receive a small amount of maintenance.

Tearing up a parking lot and later building a new one is not only expensive but it does significant environmental damage.
I mean, sure, what you’re describing is relevant to the original discussion, but you’ve posted it in a sub thread about how it changes if it is a 50/50 binomial distribution.

You’ve replaced it with a binomial of a uniformly selected p, which ends up being, amusingly, the same as a uniform.
LLMs are like having an army of very knowledgable but somewhat senseless interns to do your bidding.

I prefer to think of them as the underwear gnomes, just more widely read and better at BS-ing.

What happens when everyone gets to have a tireless army of very knowledgeable and AVERAGE common sense interns who have brains directly wired to various software tools, working 24/7 at 5X the speed? In the hands of a highly motivated rogue organization, this could be quite dangerous.

This is a bit beyond where we are now, but shouldn't we be prepared for this ahead of time?
Kelly Somers has been vindicated.
It's a cyclical problem: There are no jobs worth moving for in most of the middle of the country, which means no one wants to move there, which means that there's no workforce for big companies, which means there's no jobs worth moving for. Likewise for social scenes, services, etc., It's the same feedback loop that makes the existing big cities attractive. Good jobs bring people with skills and money, which support services and provide a labor pool for companies that want to hire, which provides a glut of good jobs.
Worst experience for me was .us. I bought three, don't know if they mentioned it at checkout, but those can only be registered by US citizens, which I am not. I could buy them, but after a couple months I received an email from the registry regarding one domain telling me to prove I was an US citizen. I couldn't, Namecheap support told me they couldn't help either. So the domain was suspended. A few days later they suspended the other domains which they found since they belonged to the same contact. Partly my fault for not reading the registry rules I guess but definitely a bad experience.

All is well here on Ubuntu 23.10, Firefox (Snap) 122.0 and 'Teams Classic' as per Office 365, no special opt-ins (like Insider Program) or opt-outs.

There's a ton of research into this idea, have a search on PubMed.

Unfortunately it suffers from at least two problems.

First, generalisable effects from specific interventions often fail to replicate, so for example subjects tend to get better at a specific task but it doesn't necessarily carry over to real-world contexts. There are a few promising potential directions, although even those results are modest and uncertain.

Second, people with even mild/early signs of dementia are extremely unlikely to continue with an intervention. Even if they do they often modify it, e.g. unplugging a smart device to save energy, or taping over buttons to prevent accidentally pressing them.

I would hunt out references but I'm on mobile, they shouldn't be hard to find.
Yes, but it's all relative. A giant new development is different than a branch office. Though in all cases there is no doubt overlap with their military industrial complex. But I don't think we will normally see such religious extremism tied to projects, and that should be called out, loudly and clearly, as not ok.
I'm advocating that people do studies with randomized interventions—an approach that is capable of proving causation—and not being satisfied with purely observational studies that look at correlations, which are often hopelessly confounded and can't distinguish between "X causes Y" and "Z causes both X and Y". I was pleasantly surprised to find that this study was of the first type rather than the second.

You can probably prompt it to further to generate python code and unmask the file for you, in the interpreter.

Incidentally, this use of GPT4 is somewhat similar to the threat model that they are studying. I'm a bit surprised that they've used plain GPT-4 for the study, rather than GPT-4 augmented with tools and a large dataset of relevant publications.

> I mean, this whole hypothetical is dumb. The top shipbuilding companies in the world are in South Korea and Japan - strong US allies.

In any world where China and the US are shooting at each other, Japan and South Korea are getting shot at too. They have the severe drawback of being in adversary's backyard, not an ocean away.

Not to say there aren't problems with US shipbuilding that need to be fixed (IIRC, unlike South Korea and Japan, all the suppliers and subcontractors are too geographically dispersed to be globally competitive), but repealing the Jones Act won't help with that.

> But even if the Mississippi was covered in Chinese manufactured and owned ships, if war were to break out, we would just seize the ships. There would not be a huge impact to our infrastructure.

That's assuming all the US needs in a war are its existing stock of ships with no need for replenishment, but that's almost certainly not true.

Also, China's not dumb. What if the conflict is timed so that most of those ships are in no position to be seized? Or scuttled right as the conflict starts?

But how about let's go all the way, and outsource military manufacturing the the China and Russia. What could go wrong? There's no such thing as a back door.
