Thats certainly a valid way to do it. It really doesn’t matter how you define species as long as you say how you’ve done the defining. Its just a human word like wall or chair. That being said depending on your research question, certain definitions of species might be better suited than others. For example if you just consider reproductive compatibility, then certain human couples with fertility issues would be considered different species because certain genetic incompatibilities mean they are unable to produce viable offspring.

I wouldn't say esoteric but a lot of non-mainstream stuff; small bands; unoffical remixes that can't be licensed; etc.

I'm sure a sizable portion of tracks I enjoy are on there and agree that for most people it has most of what they want - most people listen to what is marketed to them. This has no bearing on the fact there's huge amounts of music available elsewhere that is not on Spotify/similar.
Code bloat is not that obscure of a thing. I think a decent portion of people realize that a program with features upon features is stretched too thin to meet users' needs in high quality, or in a timely fashion, especially if they paid $0 for it.

Don't get me wrong. When Firefox removes a feature, often it's not out the concern of bloat to be able to serve existing users better, but to shift resources for the next revamp that will make the browser ever more "modern", to claw for a new userbase.

I guess the good news is that if I remember correctly, the NSS stuff was already dropped again for the next generation...

There is also the whole interesting disconnect where they employ one or two cranky old timers to maintain the upstream ath drivers, then have the usual Indian teams write untested rushed upstream "support" patch series for the routing WiFi chips. The old timers don't want to test them because they believe their job is in the tiny and shrinking Qualcomm laptop WiFi market and the Indian teams don't test by doctrine and superior orders. And this is for the Qualcomm-on-Qualcomm case; they fare much worse trying to submit patch series for all the other bits and pieces you need to make the Qualcomm SOC work that invariably comes with the routing WiFi chips.
it's kinda amusing because the LLMs evolved via selection of the best anthropic traits because the basic digested mountains of undiscerning information.

so the gullibility is merely one selected for trait convolution with state.
If you check out the forum.openwrt.org, you'll see, that broadcom support is mostly limited to Raspberry PI devices, and some 400Mhz museum pieces.

9/10 times the turned-down requests for OpenWrt support of Device XY are because of Broadcom SOCs/Wireless_chips in the device.
In that scenario, I'd love to see the kinds of cool relativistic time dilation experiments we could run on those probes.

Wasn't TNG shot on film and remastered [yes: 0]? Not sure if it made it to 4K, and it probably could use some AI clean up. I did read that DS9 was scaled up with "AI" because it was mostly CGI. I read on reddit that fans are even doing it, with mixed results.

This almost certainly already happens, just without AI. For one example look at the surfeit of UFO stories, many of which can be plausibly attributed to state efforts to cloud intelligence about actual classified air and space technology
> I'll concede that iterating through the entirety of that range would take a very long time

You don't say?

> but this still presumes that said iteration in its entirety is necessary in the first place.

It is, because it's compared to sequential IDs where you know exactly the start and end. No way of knowing with UUIDs.

> Maybe, if they're indeed randomly-generated. Are they indeed UUIDv4? Is your RNG up to snuff?

Stop constantly moving the goalposts, and assume they're used correctly, Jesus Christ. Anytime someone talks about UUID it's most likely v4, unless you want non-random/deterministic v5 or time-sortable v7. But the most common is v4.

> Hijacking a session is harder than finding a publicly-shared ID floating around somewhere.

Even firebase stores refresh tokens accessible by javascript (localstorage as opposed to HTTPOnly). Any extension with sufficient users is more viable than finding a single collision of a UUID. Programs with access to the cookies on the filesystem, etc. It's much easier to hijack sessions than guessing UUIDs.

> Dumbest way would be to DDoS the thing. At some number of concurrent sessions and/or messages per second, it'll start to choke, and that'll give you the upper bound on how many people are using it, at least at a time.

Won't tell you a single thing. Might be a beefy server serving 3 users, or a slow server with lots of downtime for millions of users. They may all be using it at once, or few of them sporadically. No way of knowing which. It's a retarded guesstimate. But this only shows the mental gymnastics you're willing to use to be "right". Soon you'll tell me "I'll just ask my contact at the NSA".

> sequential IDs are insecure

Nobody claimed this. They can be enumerated which may or may not be a problem depending on the data. Which I said in my first comment, and you seem to agree. This entire thread was a complete waste of my time.

Maybe Spotify didn't put enough effort into it? And besides, listening to music was nothing special, people had portable music players for decades before Spotify. Uber opened up a completely different way of transport. I don't doubt that they would have success with their own device.

Amazon have been extremely successful with their dedicated book reading device, the Kindle. So thank you for that example. That really shows that Uber could have had success with their own device, better than I can argue for it.

I think the more accurate thing to say is Elixir allows you to rebind variable names whereas Erlang doesn't. Elixir will allow you to pin a name though such that the pattern matches against the already existing variable name's value. Talking about mutability I think confuses this.
The impression I got was that they really weren't interested in working with me. Most of the sheet metal vendors I reached out to didn't even return my calls.

The one vendor that called back accepted the job, but when it was done, they just handed me the prototype and asked for my money. They never asked whether I was satisfied or if there were things they could improve if given the opportunity.
Got this great quote from Garry Kasparov in Wired's article on multi-agent RL[1]:

> “Creativity has a human quality. It accepts the notion of failure."

As faithful min-maxers, LLMs are always going to have an overconfident Prisoner's Dilemma blind spot in their algorithms. Unlike their cinematic brethren, they're progammatically unable to conclude with "the only winning move is not to play."

This seems like the next major hill to conquer to make them useful.

"long" is always a modifier, just potentially applied twice, and potentially to nothing. A more written out version of "long long" is "long long int", and similarly "long" is really "long int".
The nice thing about cubicles were their abilities to absorb sound. That made headphones optional. Conversations in the next cube could be had that kept the noise down to a minimum for the neighbors.

But also, and you had a semi-permanent place to do work. So you could effectively show some personality on the walls, if you wanted. One person was learning Mandarin at the time and had a poster of common characters -- which was cool.

I went to work for an open concept that exposed concrete for a couple of years. It was very anti worker. Conversations 2 rows over were heard clearly as it would reflect off the concrete. There was always a constant level of noise in the environment. Most people just brought in headphones when they wanted to buckle down and work.

Fishes can be very intelligent in fact. Many are more clever than mammals of its same size for sure.

There is not a single bird or mammal crystal transparent, or electrical, or bioluminiscent, or that could change their color at will in seconds. If I remember correctly, the vertebrates with the biggest brain/body weight ratio, or the fastest movement registered, are fishes.

My todo.txt is more of a digital whiteboard, a temporary summary. Once the day or task is done, the text is wiped. (That's not to say I don't document things - only that I don't use my todo.txt as long-term record-keeping)

The concept (along with sentiments such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39434558, where the mundane inefficiency of having to access the todo.txt window every time is the annoyance) makes me think that a wall-mounted screen dedicated to displaying the list may be an improvement for some people. Alternatively a multi-monitor setup where one (perhaps smaller) screen is permanently dedicated to the list.

After all, back in the old days when people did literally do all this with physical black/whiteboards and similar, you didn't have to "pull up the whiteboard" every time you wanted to look at it - you just turned your head a little, or shifted your gaze. In that particular sense, having to open or pull up a file every time is a regression, an added inefficiency.
Google spent at least a decade incentivizing spam while they dominated up the search market, tearing any semblance of humanity and authenticity from the web. By the time Reddit realized what they had, LLMs had scraped them dry, then tragically and ironically, their plan to lock LLMs out of their API backfired and users deleted half of Reddit's content. There's so much value in the Small Web right now - microblogs, IndieWeb, etc., but it's just so hard to find these kinds of sites if you don't know what you're looking for

I wasn't saying it's a new discovery. My first link mentions Darwin who wrote about in the 19th century.

If there’s a good tool floating around to do the upscaling, I bet committed fandoms are about as likely as major companies to gain access. Superfans wont care about copyright. The only way that wouldn’t seem likely to me is if the company owns or unilaterally controls the tool, which we haven’t seen any indication is a likely business model.
It makes intuitive sense that going wide in SIMD uses less power than going wide over cores, because extra SIMD lanes take up much less silicon area than adding another whole core. If they didn't then we wouldn't bother with SIMD, we'd just make more cores and save ourselves the hassle of juggling two different types of parallelism.

GPUs take this even further by going even wider, with each "core" typically executing 1024-bit SIMD operations (i.e. 32x FP32, 64x FP16, etc). CPUs have roughly settled at 128-bit (most ARM) or 256-bit (most x86) with a little bit of 512-bit (x86 with AVX512) which grew out of Intels earlier aborted attempt at making a dedicated GPU.
I'm wondering about the probability that, out of all the affected customers, at least one had the research skills and social skills to identify another customer and successfully ask to meet.

Ask how much hardware is behind it.
Roughly, it's illegal only if you have some duty not to trade on it. If you acquired the information without misappropriating it (like overhearing it from strangers in a normal public bar), then you're free to trade.

https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2017/01/18/insider-trading-l...

There's no reason for normal corporate training to discuss that element, because an employee who trades their employer's stock based on MNPI has near-certainly misappropriated it. The question of whether a non-employee has misappropriated information is much more complex, though.
But in your example, Google would almost immediately learn that sophisticated users click on the current #2 link, and then make that the #1 link for everyone. It's really easy to do statistically. The bias for the top link gets removed, that's always the first step.

Unsophisticated users are not negatively affecting the quality of results.
Training is designed to protect the corporation, not to provide accurate lega ladvice. That's true of most corporate trainings, for that matter, be that bribes / corruption, harassment, discrimination, or whatnot. Corporations want employees very far from the line.

That's the right way to run them.

If you want more nuance, talk to a lawyer or read case law.

Generally, insider trading requires something along the lines of a fiduciary duty to keep the information secret, albeit a very weak one. I'm not going to slice that line, but you see references in-thread.
> Ideally, laws would be written such that the only thing that could fill that gap would be real life social interaction.

I would love to hear a proposal around this. As an immigrant in the US, “social media” is my connection not only to people back home but also to my friends from junior high, high school, and college.

> Social media is, ipso facto, a bad thing.

It would be great if you could define what is social media.

Are chat threads social media? What about iMessage groups? What about various online? What about Digg / Reddit / 4chan?
Yep - metagenomics/phylogenomics practitioners have learned the hard way that trying to focus on species definitions gets you nowhere (if you think defining a species in multicellular sexually reproducing eukaryotes is hard, wait till you see what bacteria do - it's basically a free-for-all; and on top of that, short read metagenetic DNA sequencing gives you a soup of DNA that is very hard to precisely partition by source).

I consider the focus on species and speciation to be a science social phenomenon more than anything else, a lot of it attributable to the prestige of being the one to "discover" the species (a.k.a. describe it in a way that sticks).

The flipside is that the science of phylogenomics is incredibly fruitful, in that as we collect more complete information about genomes and their diversity and patterns of conservation, we are able to better understand life in all of its forms. It's also very data intensive and computationally complex - some of the most sophisticated data compression, suffix tree construction, hashing, and clustering algorithms are used in this field.

An unsung group of heroes in the face of this insane complexity is the scientists at NCBI whose job it is to organize all of the taxonomic and reference genetic/genomic sequence information (they are the ones who build the GenBank, RefSeq, and NCBI Taxonomy databases). Their work is as close as it comes to the source of truth on this. While the GenBank FTP server is easily overwhelmed by modern workloads trying to ingest this data, AWS and GCP provide high throughput mirrors (https://aws.amazon.com/opendata/, s3://ncbi-blast-databases, gs://blast-db).

Vertical tabs start to suck on a laptop. For one my auto hide sidebar hack for firefox broke and I am too lazy to fix it, so now I have basically a whole inch by several inches of dead gray space because I don’t have a full column of 100 tabs ever open, maybe 5 or 10.

This wouldn’t be so annoying except many modern websites use browser viewer size instead of the user agent to make the call you are a mobile or desktop user. So I basically have to use fullscreen browser windows because considering I already lose an inch to the tree style tabs, I really don’t have much width to lose before the site assumes I am an iPad and gives me a ton of hamburger menues that also suck to navigate because of how they tend to wrap text on constrained width browser viewers. Most of the time I just have to disable the sidebar entirely which of course adds a few clicks everytime I change tabs now.
This. And this is tempered response is generally considered a mark of a good journalist. Someone who sees the whole picture. I can't call the journalist here (James D. Walsh) a good journalist though, because I personally don't know the track record. What's hard is that it is difficult to distinguish these two concepts of pandering or tempering. A track record is really all there is.

There's never a smoking gun. And this should be the big takeaway for a lot of people: if you're looking for smoking guns you'll find them everywhere. But if you're looking for killers, they hide in the shadows. Sure, there are some where you do clearly see them standing over the body in clear daylight with the smoking gun in hand and the dead still warm. But that is far more rare. The best way for these people to hide in the shadows is to make it difficult to distinguish good and bad. To create the shadows and fog. The reason this is often easy is because the good and right actions are nuanced and considerate of complexity.

Like truth and lies, truth has a lower bound in complexity but lies do not, they can be infinitely simple. We humans love simplicity and that's what they exploit. It's unfortunate but if everything was half as simple as we pretend they are, we wouldn't have 90% of the problems that exist in the world. We live in a complex world and humans have been solving problems for thousands of years, it's pretty reasonable that the vast majority of simple issues have been solved. So if you want truth, be wary of simplicity.
