Can someone into hunting explain why any of these laws are necessary?

From an outsider's perspective, hunting is important to keep animals afraid of humans, and off of roads. I don't really care how it's done. There's a target amount of deer that we want, and there's the amount of people who want to hunt deer. Figure out a price per deer that keeps the population close to the target. That's the simplest solution that provides me (the outsider) the benefit I expect.

But the laws are far more complicated than that, so there must be some sort of rent-seeking, or honor culture, or some sort of historical baggage that I'm missing.
Notice how he mentioned "problematic text" first before images.

I've worked with PR/Comms teams a lot and this kind of edit was 100% done on purpose.

Also, note that Pichai and Raghavan went to college and grade achool with a number of these mid/upper level Indian politicians.

If the owner’s grandson is doing the IT they’re unlikely to be able to write or audit unsafe code, either. That means they need to be able to trust that their suppliers are using safe primitives. Memory safety is like requiring their electrician use use circuit breakers - no, it won’t protect every source of fire but we have codes specifically to avoid needing everyone to have expertise.
> And electric fields are different from magnetic fields in quite the same way as vectors are different from bivectors. You can either "special case" them by using a different equation for Electric and Magnetic fields, or you can treat them uniformly with one.

What irks me is that the magnetic part of the Maxwell equations is 0 for geometrical reasons, whereas the electrical part is 0 for physical reasons (roughly speaking the curvature of the potential is proportional to the current). Putting them in one equations makes it seem as if you could have something other than 0 on the magnetic side, which is impossible without fundamentally changing the topology of spacetime.

Treating them uniformly is a mistake in my opinion.
Something something exception that proves the rule?

I'm not familiar with QNX other than knowing that it is a an RTOS... which I imagine imposes some constraints that complicate things quite a lot?
I think a lot of times people say “ORM” when they mean “Hibernate” or some other ORM implementation.

In your codebase, do you stick raw SQL all over the place and iterate over rows exclusively? Or instead, as a convenience, do you write helpers that map objects into SQL statements and map result rows into objects? If so, congratulations, you’re using an ORM. The concept of ORMs is not bad. It’s a logical thing to do. Some ORM _implementations_ have some very serious issues, but that does not make ORMs as a whole bad.
Thank you! Simple is indeed one of the goals.

Currently, a particular site exists as static files on one specific server, with some failover mechanisms in place. So mainly availability is achieved by having enough server resources and having a minimum amount of moving parts :)

The tricky thing to solve for with HA is TLS termination. It is probably the most complicated thing (and for sure the most computationally intense thing) a static HTTP server does. I haven't done any testing, but my hypothesis is that TLS termination is what will start failing first. Barring DNS-based tactics (mitigation, not cure, in my opinion) you just have to accept that this is your single point of failure.

But a great question! Keeping our sites online is of course something we're working on all the time.

And yes, it was all fine before the cloud! Alas, a single server was (much?) more stable in the early days than a single instance/node/pod is today...
You don’t. You help them electrify with renewables as much as possible. And the car they will buy will be more efficient and burn cleaner than the car the West developed with. And the stove they will use will be more efficient. Until it becomes electric.

What's absurdly cheap? What sort of payback period does rooftop solar and storage have?

Last time I ventured into the Tesla subreddit, people were talking about 20 years. That's terrible.
Literally exactly what I'm predicting will happen is what's happening today.

North American and European CO2 emissions are decreasing, but world wide emissions are constant. The rest of the world doesn't care, we're only bankrupting ourselves in a futile struggle.

If you really want to reduce atmospheric CO2 the only solution is massive sequestration or military force to stop the third world from burning fossil fuels.

In my opinion there should be a limit what universities can patent if it was funded by public money. Some medical treatments are unnessesary expensive because of this.
I managed to log in again following a few days with failed attempts because of your post. Thank you! I use `xdotool` to autotype my email address and was also consistently presented with endless captchas that I couldn't get past. Now I just typed my email address by hand. No captchas. Seems pretty ridiculous indeed.
It is malfunctioning in the sense that it can be conditioned to not be like this. If you ask Midjourney to generate a picture of a Viking warrior, it doesn't spit out a central African guy wearing a Viking armor.
It is not malfunctioning in the sense that it was conditioned to generate this kind of "2024 inclusive ad", where every group of people portrayed has an equal number of racial representative.

Polar options abundance.

So no good reasons, just mathematical ones.
Yes, me too!! I think the most natural way to think about more complex data manipulations is as a series of functions.

I think there's a lot love for SQL, and people can tend to get a little defensive around new query languages. But I think having a better suited query languages to is often a much nicer solution than ORMs.
Setting an example is a minor point - but that second bit "making technologies cheaper" that's where you'll really find compelling reasons for non-western nations to switch. If the world is producing so many tons to solar cells so that western nations can convert over and the demand starts to slow as their conversion processes near their end then those production lines can find new customers.
Indeed. One of the things neglected in the cost discussion is opportunity cost of kids.

As society gets richer, opportunity cost of kids goes up.

1. Wages not made. If you're making $100K/year and you take a year off for the kids, that's 100K.

2. Career progression. Harder to put a number on this, but easily worth 6 figures + in certain careers in opportunity cost.

3. Alternative: daycare (runs $2-4K a month or more in HCOL cities).

I hypothesize that a ~100K incentive for having a kid would definitely move the needle for a lot of people and account for at least some of the opportunity costs for middle-high wage earners (I know because the paternity leave at my company was roughly in that range in terms of economic incentive, and it certainly affected my choices). All of the cash programs to date have been a fraction of that at best.

Seriously, your post was the second one talking about an unfair advantage.

As a non hunter, I was thinking of hunter vs deer not hunter vs hunter. That makes perfect sense.
That's expensive and enters licensing issues.

Corporate License LLM do give this option, but we are also paying an arm and a leg for a Glean, Azure GPT, etc.
PRQL is actually a first class functional programming language, with syntax for supporting readable query processing pipelines. The documentation for PQL is a bit light, so I don't know if it's as powerful as PRQL.
So they can keep the oil for themselves. “Look what this oil dependency makes us do! Don’t fall into that trap! (And anyway it’s ours!)”
Yeah but they have a mix of 80%, with Oceania the not-even-close second of 40%. South America are doing so well it seems like an anomaly on that graph. And it’s fair to say it’s trending up again after a long slow decline
The data consists of a graph whose vertices correspond to the output sequence you desire and where there is an edge (with probability 1) from string x to string y if and only if x precedes y.

This model will arise from the desired sequence as a single training example (learning the probability of each pair of consecutive tokens), provided none are repeated.

Now run your Markov chain with initial input {first token in your sequence}.

For Android, we currently support only code written in JVM languages (Java/Kotlin)

"Why would aliens expend the enormous energy required to engineer this" Is a very similar answer to why humans would make microprocessors out of logic gates.

I'm in school for digital design at the moment, and stuff like oscillators and frequency dividers are at the very base/root of almost all electronic circuits.

One guess could be that alignments of planets in specific ways could be used to generate specific impulses of gravitational waves, the way we generate signals in binary. Imagine an alien race who uses gravitational effects from orbiting bodies as the basic building block of their "mega processors" that are the size of galaxies. So one solar system that has a division cycle of "2/3, 2/3, 2/3, 3/4 and 3/4" could be their representation of a value/"bit pattern" but written with planets in orbital mechanics, just like how we represent decimal 10 in binary 1010.

as an aside, it is very easy to also ask "why would humans spend so much energy taking silicate sand and turning it into intricate patterns at the size of angstroms and nano meters just to consume power? wouldn't it be easier to just let the sand organize itself into components as needed?" of course, the answer seems obvious to us, but the question is analogous to yours.
Maybe we are looking at a case of alien artificial intelligence, e.g. the classic hollywood scenario where an alien society was eventually replaced by sentient AI(e.g. kaylons, cylons, etc).
Good point but should these outweigh the rights of companies to combine?
Based on our experience on Earth so far, that seems to be the easier route to correct code.

Right, but Thunderbird had to pay up and set themselves as a middleman to allow this. My point is that local LLMs might not have that many advantages for personal data because most of that data doesn't live locally on your computer, to begin with. I guess an argument could be made that running them locally prevents an AI provider from gobbling up ALL of your data. On the other hand, Google already has most of our my data: emails, youtube, gmail, etc.
As the cost of renewables get close to zero (but never reaching that), the predominant cost will be batteries and transmission. How quickly this occurs is a function of battery cost decline curve and manufacturing capacity ramp.

Coal is already dead based on current trajectories, the body just hasn’t hit the floor yet.

I'm actually shocked that Subway bread is ~10% sugar. Because it's not like it tastes sweet. It just tastes like bread. Not great bread, don't get me wrong. But I would have thought that a 10-to-1 flour-to-sugar ratio would be very, very noticeably sweet. But I don't bake bread so I guess I just don't know these things.
We're all about making the world Safe these days.

If we can criminalize people saying mean things about minority groups, we should be able to stop lenders (and casinos...) from financially-exploiting the minority group of irresponsible debtors. We have to save all people from the consequences of their own decisions in the name of safety.

Klarna is nobody's first option and for bad debtors is more predatory than even my worst card. Late fees are charged per transaction. If you go on a buying spree and are late with your payments, you get the financial fucking of a lifetime in a mere matter of months. It's like having 12 credit cards and missing payments on all of them.

The individual late fee is lower than a credit card, but they make up for it by driving reckless purchasing.
Because all hunting laws are (or should) be to either a) keep people safe or b) to give the animals a fighting chance, to keep it more "sporting". There's a lot more to hunting than just killing animals, in fact that's a tiny percentage of what you're out there doing (scouting, tracking, hiking around, sitting still for hours, etc). All of the "sport" part of hunting goes out the window if you can simply spotlight deer after dark and knock em over.

And if you wanted to know the REAL reason these laws exist, it's the same reason that gyms over-sell memberships. In many places, including where I live, the state wants your money, but don't want EVERYONE with a license to get an animal, because that wouldn't be sustainable. There are places where more tags are given out, and special hunts are provided to do actual population control, but I'd wager that a lot of states don't have that level of problem, and simply want the cash.

So there ya go. It keeps the "sport" of hunting alive, and generates more revenue for states because they can sell a ton of tags that don't get filled.

Except unlike Tay ect. this would specifically add "of various diverse ethnicities" to each promt, so this isn't just some "bug" but an intentional decision. Do you seriously believe Google's DEI initiative is unrelated? Why ignore what they specifically say they are doing?

To be fair to the local news company, the tooling to create a PDF was probably not something they had. And I'm sure they were sold on the idea of an app by whoever does own their authoring tools.

Reminds me of the odd story of microfilm. I may be out of date, at this point, but my understanding is a ton of libraries were convinced to destroy large parts of their archive to convert into microfilm on the idea that this would be more resilient and easier to work with. Sadly, it has turned out to be neither.
You're on your own mission so reasoning with you seems pointless.

You made up your mind and didn't even bother checking.

But I'll leave you with that. Solar gives 14'000 Iraqis job nowadays and villages fully solar powered are more and more common [1].

Chad too, which you mention, has multiple solar projects[2].

None of this would've happened without the rest of the world making important investments and making the technology cheap.

Setting examples and doing the right thing is morally important regardless of what others do. That still stands. And as an European I much hope for cleaner air, less smog, less gas heaters, etc.

It doesn't make sense to go the other way and have tens of thousands die each year because "it's cheaper if we use fossils".

As a society we have to move forwards and stop thinking it's all about the individual and economical stats.

Economical stats go up and we're as miserable and lonely and mentally unstable as we've ever been. We may at least leave a slightly cleaner and healthier world.

Yeah, but isn't the nice thing here that you can run it directly in your database? Which has all the data and probably a fair bit more compute power than your laptop/PC.

Edit: my comment acted like ORM type libraries than execute within databases like Ibis don't exist. My bad!
Or... hear me out... nuclear.

Like France, often cited as the the world leader, with around 70% of its generated electricity coming from nuclear. Or Belgium, with around 50%, or Bulgaria around 30%, or Czechia around 40%, Finland around 35%, Hungary around 50%, Slovakia around 60%, Slovenia around 40%, Sweden around 30%, Switzerland around 35%...

Compared to Australia's one nuclear power, which isn't even being used to generate power, or the US' 18%, or UK's 14%, or Canada's 13%.
Agree - I do think that part of the bureaucracy is due to the fact that any new consumer facing product from a FAANG is going to be relentlessly challenged adversarially by every social media tech-influencer as in this case. And no product team wants to put the CEO in the media/congressional hearing hot seat.

Conversely a new consumer product from a new startup is going to spend half the time talking about what the new company is etc. before getting to any product flaws. And most of the time such things are relegated to niche reddit subgroups.
Memory that computes directly, in as simple a model as possible is required. Imagine a huge grid of LUTs that just talk to their neighbors, and I believe, you've got an approach that can work for almost any compute task.

I guess, and give me some rope here because I’m not a deer hunter, it’s that trophy bucks make more trophy bucks.. if you make it easy to cull them then you lose the next generation.

Deer are pretty smart, but they are crepuscular which means they feed at dawn and at dusk, when it’s harder for predators to see them. Using lights gives a hunter a huge advantage.
>We should all strive to do what we can, regardless of what others do

We will go broke trying to slash emissions while the rest of the world uses cheap energy to fuel their economic growth. The days of the US being a positive example of, well, anything are rapidly diminishing.

The study directly investigate this, you will find it in Fig. 8: Dyadic preferences for (mis)tunings of the major 3rd. What you see is that (modern) people preferences are NEITHER to just intonation (integer ratios) OR equal temperament (which they were presumably exposed to). What happens that depends on timbre (and this is new too) participant prefer tuning that slightly deviates from just intonation but NOT exactly equal temperament!!
