Regardless of how easy devs find it to be now, there's no denying that utility-only CSS is fighting the platform it's built on. jQuery and SASS showed the way for their specs to build toward. Contrast that to utility-only CSS, which I suspect is just going to get left behind as CSS solves the problems Tailwind, et al. try to work around.

That's a creative way of explaining things, but if you were correct the unrwa would have long since disbanded and all the refugees handed over to the unhcr for integration into their country of birth.

That this has not happened is the clearest proof against what you wrote. Tell me: If what you said is correct, why does the unrwa even still exist as a separate entity?

The unrwa has a policy of always expanding the number of refugees, the unhcr has the opposite policy.

Yes, it's true the Arab states have not made things easy, but the unrwa is not even trying - it's simply not part of the mandate. It is however the mandate of the unhcr.

Do you think host countries want to admit refugees as citizens? They never do, but the unhcr manages to make things work. If the unrwa would try as hard they would cease to exist, which is a perfect example of this article.
I won't take a position on your intended point, but these are not good examples.

Leaded paint was better than non-leaded paint. Leaded solder also. Asbestos was the wonder material.

Yes, the negatives outweighed the positives. But the truth was absolutely in the middle in these cases.

The materials were great. The unintended/unexpected side effects were bad.

Leaded gasoline, leaded paint, leaded solder, and asbestos are all still used today where the conditions are suitable, because the material is superior for the application.

> Until trademark laws come into play, and you find yourself obligated by law to give up your domain username to a big corporation.

This wouldn't be a big deal in practice (besides losing the domain). Domain usernames are just the combo of you telling Bluesky "I intend to use this domain name" and then you placing a TXT record on the domain to prove you own it. If you want to change domains (or, are forced to), you just give them the new domain name and you set another TXT record (just like if you had set up a domain name as a username for the first time). The underlying DID is still yours.

I don't know about tipping specifically, but my friend observed marked improvement with GPT-4 (pre-turbo) instruction following by threatening it. Specifically, he, being a former fundamentalist evangelical Protestant preacher, first explained to it what Hell is and what kind of fire and brimstone suffering it involves, in very explicit details. Then he told it that it'd go to Hell for not following the instructions exactly.
LLMs are better at this and it’ll probably marginally improve the output quality but there can potentially be hallucinations (false positives or negatives) even in this evaluation task.
> didn't choose his psychologist. Apparently he was forced to see them. Against his will. He had no choice.

Where did I claim I was "forced" to see them? I was seeking help/support with my mental health so I asked a psychiatrist I trusted for advice. What would you recommend doing for someone in a position like mine? You throw a whole lot of accusations around but seem to offer very little practical advice lol

> left as soon as he learned they were an astrologist rather than giving them a chance.

I also don't think I claimed this but feel free to quote where I perhaps miscommunicated this. I actually kept seeing them probably far longer than I should have because I grew attached to them/learned to trust them depsite them very likely not being a great choice for me and for improving my mental health.

This clearly isn't going to be a productive conversation and you've made it obvious you have no knowledge or interest in offering any sort of practical advice for someone experiencing hardship, however you're very good at being demeaning, insulting, and rude so I guess this will be my last reply to you. Good luck with your life, and once again, I really do hope you don't experience much hardship in life and if you do, hopefully someone offers you some practical advice/kindness rather than being shitty and demeaning towards you
Nah, most Android TV sticks and boxes (bar Nvidia) ship with underpowered chipsets that lack the raw performance to render smoothly at 4K, using HW acceleration to at least get acceptable video decode performance.

Apple, being in control of the software and hardware, has better optimisation, as well as imho, a more fluid animation system on their OS.
Cowen has a counterpoint that whilst finance has grown as a proportion of GDP it has remained very close to 2% as a proportion of wealth, which honestly seems pretty reasonable.
If true, that seems like some solid evidence. Do you have any links/sources I can read up on? I wasn’t able to find anything.
Indeed, I also had better results from not threatening the model directly, but instead putting it into a position where its low performance translates to suffering of someone else. I think this might have something to do with RLHF training. It's a pity the article didn't explore this angle at all.

The intent of the words is wrong, not the literal meaning. There is no violence to someone offering a cheaper product.

You either don’t understand the meaning of “bike shedding” or you think one small portion of the economy struggling to compete on the price is “violent”. Either way, I think you’re confused about the definition of something pretty fundamentally.

If it was really the choice between, “you’ll get poisoned and have violent diarrhea if you eat this cheaper option” or “keep buying the previous local option”, both options would stay available.

So the point you tried to make really missed the mark. The way that arsenic rice could crush the local market is only if it had essentially no near to mid term side effects. If it was obvious people wouldn’t buy it.

This connects to a suspicion I have that a lot of the most impressive results, that have caught public attention, for LLMs and Sora are due to memorization. This is not to say that they can't generalize or mix learned patterns - I think they can do that too, which is quite impressive to a researcher, but these are demonstrated on tasks that the public might not care as much about, and the performance there isn't always great as well.

Combined with opacity in train/test splits, this suggests a type of data laundering, where the extreme is that much of Sora (for example) is regurgitating things seen in training, which was actually made perhaps by a human using a game engine, or drone video. But it's only news because a model generated it. Of course, I don't have strong evidence for this. But one of the most impressive parts of Sora is the level of detail, much of which is not specified by the text prompt, and still can't fully be accounted for by our knowledge that OAI expands text prompts for image/ video generation behind the scenes. Where is this precise detail coming from exactly? I suggest it's from memorization.

I'm one of those people who will go down the rabbit hole and not come back until I've figured it out, else I would never trust a flaky system ever again. This happened with one system where memory was failing, but it was in a very specific region which would coincidentally be where the OS stored filesystem structures, so the filesystem would become corrupt after a certain amount of use. Since it didn't feel or seem like anything memory related, it took weeks of trying different things until I decided to see about the memory.

On most computers, holding the power button for five seconds turns off the power, whereas a hard reboot might be similar to someone pressing the reset button. If it were me, I'd try, in order, checking that you have the correct version of your BIOS (I accidentally loaded the latest BIOS on a system with a Ryzen 2600, and it made memory transfers unhappy), using another power supply for a while, running another OS, like NetBSD, on an external drive and doing lots of test compiles, clocking the RAM one or two steps slower, then removing all but one DIMM at a time and testing with just one DIMM.

> The Samaritans (/səˈmærɪtənz/; Samaritan Hebrew: ࠔࠠࠌࠝࠓࠩࠉࠌ‎ Šā̊merīm; Hebrew: שומרונים Šōmrōnīm; Arabic: السامريون as-Sāmiriyyūn), or the Samaritan people, are an ethnoreligious group originating from the Hebrews and Israelites of the ancient Near East.[2] They are indigenous to Samaria, a historical region of ancient Israel and Judah that comprises the northern half of today's West Bank. They are naturally adherents of Samaritanism, an Abrahamic, monotheistic, and ethnic religion that developed alongside Judaism, although the two differ in a number of important aspects in spite of sharing a common foundation in Yahwism.

> As of 2022, the Samaritan community is estimated to number around 874 people, split almost evenly between Israel (some 460 in Holon) and the Israeli-occupied West Bank (some 380 in Kiryat Luza).

> All Samaritans in both Holon and Kiryat Luza are Israeli citizens, but those in Kiryat Luza also hold Palestinian citizenship.

> Much of the local Palestinian population of Nablus is believed to be descended from Samaritans who converted to Islam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritans

Sorry, but I don’t think you are talking about the Samaritans. And if you are, they are totally irrelevant to our conversation. But the short answer would be, they should have the rights of an indigenous or a religious minority within a broader region.
“His academical record”.

I dropped out of college young, for complicated reasons. It has never, to my knowledge, been an issue with any potential employer.

One very real benefit to the org is that it’s much easier to recruit people with specialized skills. I recently posted a job opening for a Staff Eng position with very specific requirements and got a dozen very highly-qualified applicants, including some who are literally world class. Only one was located in my city.

(To be fair, I’m pretty well known in the industry I was recruiting for, and presenting an extremely attractive opportunity for those people to work in a way few companies will allow. So maybe I would have gotten just as many star applicants if they had been required to move. But somehow I doubt it.)

On the less positive side for US workers, it also opens the doors to hiring workers from places with lower cost of living. We can hire two engineers in Latam for the cost of one in the US, and three in India.
From the conclusion of that article, emphasis mine:

> The Palestinian refugees have been forced into abject poverty by the Lebanese government's denial of their rights to remunerated employment, social security, public health care, public education and property ownership. The argument that Palestinian integration into Lebanese society would either cause them to lose their right of return or would upset Lebanon's sectarian balance is just a pretext the Lebanese government uses to discriminate against the Palestinians, whom many Lebanese blame for causing the Lebanese civil war.

Nowhere could I see how the UNRWA is "generating ever increasing numbers of refugees"? Do you have any other sources?
Re: Publishing in Mandarin, just in case you're curious:

Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, Wu, etc are spoken languages (or dialects, or varieties), but the writing system is common to all of them, albeit in two major forms -- Simplified and Traditional. If I write 恭喜发财, a Mandarin speaker will read that aloud as gongxi facai, a Cantonese speaker as gung hei faat coi, and a Hokkien speaker as kiong-hi hoat-chai, though I left off tone markings even though they're important. In that sense, unless something's romanized, written materials are pretty much just written in 'Chinese', and not any particular variety.

Learning Chinese is funny that way: the spoken language has very simple, regular grammar, but then you also need to learn how to read, write, and pronounce ~3,000 characters to read a newspaper, with a well-educated reader in the language typically recognizing between 8 and 15 thousand characters of the 80,000-100,000 or so that have ever existed (including obscure characters, obsolete characters, regional characters, and variant characters).

It's similar to how if you show a Frenchman, an Englishman, a German and a Pole '456', they'll all know the meaning even if the Englishman thinks "four-hundred fifty-six", and the Frenchman thinks quatre cent cinquante-six.

I think you way, way underestimate MUD players :-)
Without commenting on the veracity of these specific allegations (it seems there is some controversy):

The root cause of the replication crisis is that academics are given a tacit assumption of trust: if you read a peer-reviewed paper, you should be able to trust the conclusions without redoing all the experiments/analysis yourself. Sadly this trust is often not deserved.

As a matter of editorial policy, researchers who are unethical in collecting samples shouldn’t be given the benefit of the doubt in analyzing those samples. Instead of carefully auditing their tainted results, it’s better to redo the experiment from scratch with a more trustworthy team.
Well, now that you mention it, that’s true, I was there. :) But I just want to go back to 1992, not 1976.
