You’re confusing markets with capitalism

Capitalism requires a philosophical split between labor, productivity, and capital ownership

A market is simply a price clearing mechanism in the context of known exchange rates of commodities, you don’t even need money for it, and says nothing about the ownership composition of the actors making trading decisions
I'm having trouble figuring out what cavern is exactly. Does it somehow relate to Dolby Access? https://www.microsoft.com/p/dolby-access/9N0866FS04W8

That is, is it an audio renderer that does player side mixing into N channels? Dolby Access does it for headphones and for up to 7.1 surround systems

I'm new to this whole audio format thing and I'm just trying to figure out how things work, as all of the Dolby stuff is very "magic behind a licence fee"
Sorry, what? You hung up on an interviewer because they asked you to write an algorithm? And you think it's a red flag to ask you to turn on video? I think you need a reality check, honestly. I would say they are lucky not to hire you based on this.

> And if that "gift" was stolen from someone else beforehand?

Then that would be theft and not legitimate property transfer. I was talking about cases where a gift is from someone who earned it and transferred something, a donation.

Not from a government that gifts via regulations or a thief that steals something and donates after the fact. Though there is no difference in either IMHO.
> Someone is still on this journey.

Yeah, that's Jaron Lanier.

Apple's headset isn't VR at all. It's stuff overlaid on the real world. Rather banal stuff, usually screens. That's augmented reality.

The hardware ought to be able to support most of the stuff Magic Leap faked a few years ago. Since you see the world through cameras, they can draw dark, which optical overlay systems cannot do.
Someone will probably do some games that way. Pokemon Go would work.

Someone really should do Hyperreality, the famous concept video of AR hell.[1]

> There are many reasons why V.R. and gaming don’t quite work, and I suspect that one is that gamers like to be bigger than the game, not engulfed by it. You want to feel big, not small, when you play. (“Star Wars” might have got this right with holographic chess.)

Don't see that. VR about going some place more interesting than where you are.

As for tabletop AR combat chess, Jeri Ellsworth made that work quite well with Tilt Five.[2][3][4] Good idea, never really caught on.

For a national military to have solid logistics requires the country's culture to have a decent educational system, a strong work ethic, and a reasonably low corruption level. China has the first two and they're working on the third. In the past much of the stuff they would need to fight a real war has been straight up stolen by military officers and Party cadres. (I am aware that there is corruption and waste in US military logistics but it has been relatively lower than their adversaries.)
Unless we finally get that tooth growing paste that has been talked about for the past two decades. Or actually, offering to shave those teeth down might still make a good business proposition,
Thanks! Yeah definitely agree that building out declarative table management for Postgres would be a major effort. A few open source projects I've seen in that area include:

https://github.com/sqldef/sqldef (Go)

https://github.com/bikeshedder/tusker (Python but being ported to Rust)

https://github.com/tyrchen/renovate (Rust)

https://github.com/blainehansen/postgres_migrator (Rust)

Some of these are based on parsing SQL, and others are based on running the CREATEs in a temporary location and introspecting the result.

The schema export side can be especially tricky for Postgres, since it lacks a built-in equivalent to MySQL's SHOW CREATE TABLE. So most of these declarative pg tools shell out to pg_dump, or require the user to do so. But sqldef actually implements CREATE TABLE dumping in pure Golang if I recall correctly, which is pretty cool.

There's also the question of implementing the table diff logic from scratch, vs shelling out to another tool or using a library. For the latter path, there's a nice blog post from Supabase about how they evaluated the various options: https://supabase.com/blog/supabase-cli#choosing-the-best-dif...
I like calling these "anachronyms," because they're sort of like anachronistic acronyms (yes, fine, this one's _technically_ an initialism). I wrote a blog post[0] about them.

> Can the everyday miracle of the real world be appreciated enough?

I always roll my eyes when I see this or things that share a similar sentiment. I have dreams every night that aren't "real", but produce real emotions, feelings, and sensations. Whenever the dream machine comes out, I'll be hanging out in my cool af castle and all you philosophers can keep kneecapping yourselves with "what's really real".
The organizer of a pinball tournament league I used to participate in expressed regret about buying his own machine. The up-front price of buying one isn't terrible, no. What he disliked was that he felt committed to that one single machine, and ended up playing it so much that he was thoroughly bored of it within a year.

The extra-long version of the expression may be considerably older than the 2007 earliest established occurrence might suggest—perhaps even a decade or two older. But it isn't the original form of the expression; and in comparison with the forms that arose during the 1700s, it is quite young."
I met Aiden (the < 20 yo who started Million) a year or so ago. He presented about Million in front of a room full of 40+ grizzled JS devs. I don't personally see any reason to use Million JS, React is fast enough as it is if you memoize and use selectors correctly. Aiden said some similar things at the time (a solution in search of a problem, that got unexpectedly popular) but I gotta say, he's a hype man for sure. I wish him luck, I think if he made a more compelling library, it would be a rocket ship with his marketing. I do think he should take some hints from the other post regarding the deceptive benchmarks and make sure he can back up his marketing materials, but 14k stars on GitHub for something that (to me) seems pretty useless is truly bananas skill.
“with contended resources” is the part you are misinterpreting. They are saying that two applications that contend on a resource must cooperate to operate properly.

As they clearly state later: “Making everything cooperative increases the analysis needed because the CPU becomes a manually managed contended resource.”

i.e. a cooperative scheduler makes all code contend on the CPU, thus requiring global cooperation.

Given that they are providing that case as establishing a new requirement (the CPU becomes a contended resource) they are clearly stating in the preemptive scheduler case that the CPU is not a contended resource and thus no global cooperation is required. Only if they contend on a resource do they need cooperation amongst the contending partys.

But again, if you are already doing a whole system analysis anyways, then the benefits are less pronounced.

You know what would be fun, side scrolling mine sweeper - the field just keeps clicking several spots to the left each N seconds revealing new tiles to click - and maybe things like "Bomb Squad" perks that let you survive bomb damage when youre wrong. and whatever other mechanics could be layered into that - if you can get some tower defence mechanism where a shooting tower comes at you and you have to enclose it in toggle spots to kill it.... but it hops a few spots every time the field clicks to the next step... making him hard to catch.

Get bomb squad points every time you get a correct answer, answer so many in a row, get a bomb suit (outlive one bomb). Get more point for the least number of unclicked tiles that expire to the scrolling of the field to the left... if you dont have any un-marked tiles moving through the filed moving click, then you get bomb squad points to next bomb suit.
Add this:

- move some months a year in a different country/city, so to take serious advantage of your working remotely privilege

> has resulted in people arguing that chemical contamination of PFAS is categorically the same as watering my lawn.

I don't recognise anyone here arguing this. Let me recap the conversation: tankaiji said it is good to ban these, but expressed concern that companies will find other dangerous chemicals to replace them with. mensetmanusman responded something along the lines of this being an inevitable consequence of human technology. edgyquant responded that the problem is overly complex regulation and seemingly proposed a simpler solution.

People rightfully pointed out that his simpler solution can't distinguish between the chemical contamination of PFAS and watering ones lawn. Which is ridiculous. So clearly the problem is not that simple. In fact the problem is complex and therefore the regulations around it are complex too.
There are several safety critical Cortex implementations around, with features like multi-core lock-step operation that is largely transparent to the RTOS (or whatever) beyond fault handling.

Looking up north to Canada, there are cities that removed fluoridated water and found an increase in severe cavities in children[1]. This would assuredly happen in America as well because like we found during the pandemic and people not knowing how to wash their hands, most people do not brush their teeth properly either.

I don't think absolute statements like this are useful.

There clearly are cases where it is appropriate to prosecute someone with classified evidence. Spying cases are a good example.

The problem is that these exemptions are used too often.
This is the magical human intelligence/“AI has no soul” argument just presented in reverse. It totally ignores that human minds are emergent: no single part of your brain, nor it’s connection to the outside world are intelligent.

Despite this it’s equally obvious that the intelligence IS in the human brain, inside the skull. Shoot the right parts (frequently done by accident, so many subjects for research) and the intelligence is gone. It IS possible to radically change behaviour of a human by destroying part of the brain. There is no external soul that manages things behind the scene. Human intelligence and our souls are emergent. The are “software”, not hardware.

All the criticism against AI you make therefore applies equally to a human mind. Yet obviously it shouldn’t. To be more exact: it fails to differentiate between human minds and AI. Behaviours could emerge at any time in AI, even in transformer networks. Hell, transformers are famous for their emergent behaviours. Yes their components are obviously not intelligent. Neither are your components, or mine.

Yes the machine has no soul. The problem is: neither do you.
maybe it is just a shallow statement of relative power.

If the US government wanted, it could murder Musk, take the SpaceX staff hostage, and force them to do what they want.

There is a big difference between what people CAN do, what they can do without consequences, and what they want to do.

Any US adult can go on a killing spree with their car. What people CAN do is pretty useless information in a vacuum.
It's not as good as Plex. I hope one day it will be, it continues to improve, but it's a worse experience. Once they have proper intro skipping, I'll check it out again to see if they have fixed their other issues.
Almost certainly they were on mobile, where the small font and use of touch screen to scroll makes mis-clicks much more likely. I'd be happy with a confirmation screen because I rarely or never intend to flag, but by the sounds of it there are a lot of liberal flaggers who could find the extra step annoying.
This stood out to me:

> The American Dental Association has strongly urged NTP to add a disclaimer to the report highlighting its scientific limitations.

A recurring theme in alternative health circles is that dentists, doctors, etc. fundamentally can’t be trusted due to profit motives: that “real” medicine is suppressed because there’s no profit in it.

I think this quote is worth highlighting because it’s the exact opposite: water fluoridation is virtually free, and has a lopsided positive impact on dental health. In other words: it’s hard to square with the normal claims of profit seeking.

Would you care to share some of these sources?
The name is a bit close to “ncurses”. Also a screenshot early on would be helpful to illustrate what it can be used for.
You'll notice that CanIUse has a "% of all" option right above the Global percentage. If you dig into the gear wheel on a feature you'll see more information about this:

Usage calculation:

( ) All Users: Any usage % of browsers not tracked by caniuse is considered unsupported.

( ) All tracked users: Excludes the usage percentage of browsers not tracked on caniuse.

This implies that CanIUse pulls in data about global browser usage, but does not cover all of the browsers mentioned in that usage data. By default it just assumes that browsers that it doesn't track any data on are not supported. If you change this to All Tracked Users you then get 98.71%.

The sum total of the browsers listed in the chart which have unknown support (these are different than the browsers being referred to in the setting above) is 1.27%. Worth it to note that likely there's some rounding going on here, as when you take 98.71% and add in that 1.27% you get 99.97999..%

Pretty close though.

So the real issue is indeed that those browsers show Unknown, when I think we can safely say they do in fact support the html element.

RO systems filter out beneficial minerals, are $$, and waste a lot of water. I wouldn't suggest them for most people.
I think you must have misunderstood me, I didn’t say the SD-XL VAE had the same issue as in OP. What I said was that it didn’t take into account some of my points that came up during my research:

- Bounding the outputs to -1, 1 and optimising the variance directly to make it approach 1

- Increasing the number of channels to 8, as the spatial resolution reduction is most important for latent diffusion

- Using a more modern discriminator architecture instead of PatchGAN’s

- Using a vanilla AE with various perturbations instead of KL divergence

Now SD-XL’s VAE is very good and superior to its predecessor, on account of an improved training procedure, but it didn’t use any of the above tricks. It may even be the case that they would have made no difference in the end - they were useful to me in the context of training models with limited compute.
The Markov chain by definition satisfies the Markov property (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property).

If you want a more in depth sense of why it's not, look at the following link that describes the transformer architecture in detail and specifically goes over moving from a Markov process to one that no longer satisfies it, specifically around the following paragraph:

> The first thing that becomes apparent is that, when trying to predict the word that comes after ran, we no longer look at just one line, but rather a whole set of them. We've moved out of the Markov realm now. Each row no longer represents the state of the sequence at a particular point. Instead, each row represents one of many features that may describe the sequence at a particular point. The combination of the most recent word with each of the words that came before makes for a collection of applicable rows, maybe a large collection. Because of this change in meaning, each value in the matrix no longer represents a probability, but rather a vote. Votes will be summed and compared to determine next word predictions.

Kinda reminds me of that "list of things you didn't know you could do" (or something like that) that was shared here a while ago.
Exactly this

This concept that there is a well defined polar opposite to western “freedom” capitalism is so far from reality in literally any economic history understanding

Not only that but the USSR was in no sense Marxist Communist. It was well known that the Lenin-Trotskyist Bolshevism was the core, specifically the command economy part.

That regime coopted the philosophy of Marxism well after his death.

That’s what happens when both sides are spinning the same propaganda.

BTW I’m equally not a fan of Marxist material dialectic as I am the trotsy-lenin unholiness or the American oligopolies.

We need a true state-free attempt at anarcho socialism but that’s nearly impossible as such a concept fundamentally threatens the basic structure of the modern state.
