That’s not really a fair statement. Many problem who would die of diabetes today would have died of something else 200 years ago long before the diabetes got them. Non-juvenile diabetes is a slow killer, it’s really hard for it to kill you before the age of reproduction.

A diagnosis today that is imminently manageable like asthma was far more readily in a world without antibiotics, steroids, or even medical oxygen.

Even something like a CPAP that many of us take for granted has only been readily available for 30 years or so.

Plus, diabetes is much like AIDS in that it’s more of a systemic thing than acute. It doesn’t really have symptoms that kill you. It just slowly weakens your body until your heart gives in, or you have a serious infection, or something like that. No one dies “of” diabetes, they die with it.
Just in yesterday's news I read a telling stat: +40% of men think that women had gone too far in pursuing equal rights... in my country, a fairly progressive one.

What's there to understand or forgive? This is unacceptable. Patriarchy is dominant culture in most parts of the world, and it utterly sucks, period.
Yeah, sure. Wheather or not the leadership is alive or not is irrelevant. That's why the US ignored Bin Laden and Saddam. Oh, wait...
>> Hamas is notorious for colocating themselves among civilians.

> this claim is disingenuous propaganda

> Hamas is an assymetric, irregular force, and assymetric forces cannot operate bases or fight open battles anywhere; they all must blend in with civilians

Is the hangup on the word "notorious"? Because you appear to first claim the notion of colocation to be propaganda before explaining why it's also a logistical inevitability.
It is massive. It is the Hydrogen of RPG elements.

If I show you a random group of gamers playing an RPG and you guess they are playing DnD then you'll be correct more often than not.

> Specific examples: why is there an officer's mess? Is it classist? Or is it because familiarity breeds contempt, and when you need to order someone to do something if no one respects you; everyone dies?

I'd assume it is because the officers might be in a position where they choose to send the men (and women, in this enlightened age) to their deaths. There isn't much point eating together if that sort of politics might come into play, the power differential is too large. And it'd be harder for the officers to do that in an emergency if they see themselves as part of the same group.

Not to cast doubt on the officers, I'm sure they care very deeply about the wellbeing of their people and generally do a pretty good job of keeping people alive. But it is the military. People can die. Historically in war, some people die when their officers decide something suicidal is better than inaction.
Woa loved to read that :-) thanks for your response! Cool stuff with the business & using the blog For Good.
A degree of spin and image and projecting confidence is necessary to convince people that someone is worth following. In reality we are all wrong N times a day and rely on other people's help often. Who would ever listen to an idea by someone who was too timid to voice it though?

Many bullshitters have succeeded in management. This is why I think people should not be so frightened of giving it a try - there will certainly be a lot worse examples than you who made a living out of it.

Unfortunately that's still the CEO. The problems with Boeing are company wide.
I seem to have not make my point clear enough:

You can't persuade people using money, at least not the kind of money cities can afford, as there are plenty of equally paid, less stressful and more interesting things to do with your life.

In my city of 600k inhabitants there's a shortage of around 100 drivers - and that's just to service the lines that are currently operating. That's approximately 80k people not having their transportation needs met.

The city is also cripplingly congested, but that's expected when you can't rely on public transportation.

We need a solution that doesn't rely on demographics like they were in the 60s or even 80s.
People pay to get detailed photographs of their irises as "artwork", even in relatively privacy-conscious Germany.
How many migrants need caring?

Yes, you understood correctly.

What I'm saying is extremely radical and would require rethinking and rebuilding practically everything we have.
It doesn't require the cassettes. You can use regular detergent.
An invalidated license may not be that, I don't know, but once the license is clearly terminated, any use of that work would then be wilful.

So if you have a bluray movie for sale, you'd have to pull copies, and reissue edited without the image. Art would have to be taken off the walls. Logos rebranded.

Otherwise it would be wilful.

And I believe it is per infringement?

A Recursive Definition of AI
Definition: A system is intelligent if is able to design an intelligent loss function.

From this recursive definition we obtain that there is only one type of intelligence (the root type), that is:

From any root type of intelligence there is only one extension type of intelligence given by the above recursive definition.

The main consequence of this definition: Root type of intelligence is of paramount importance because it defines the expansion type of intelligence.

Example of application: A startup could attempt to design a strong AI that employs this definition, if the startup sells several million agents then we would see an emergent landscape in which collaboration triumph to change the landscape.

So there would be a market in which AI system employ the recursive definition to construct, buy or sell other intelligent agents. So we arrive to the: Recursive AI agent market.

For those looking to downplay this definition: A projection into a stupid level is: This is just think from first principles, start by planning.

For those looking to enhance this definition: Apply concepts related to Shannon information theory to measure the channel capacity to apply this information into a concrete IA system.

For those looking just to tag and store concepts they would store this under: IA align, expand AI designing a loss function, variance of generative expansion of AI from a root type of intelligence.

I hope that our root human intelligence, the only one that we know, when expanded by the above definition allow us to survive.

The new types of AI should be able to discuss political and economical decisions using the recursive definition of intelligence, that is explaining what is the loss function they are using to make decisions.
Completely unrelated, but I didn't know about pagure. Looks really nice and neat
In Finland we've been told that there will be a huge shortage of workers since early 2000s or so. Yet it seems like barrier for entry in low-skilled jobs is only rising. In some areas even minimum wage jobs for teenagers require multi-step BS recruiting processes. Unemployment rate is not going down either.

Really at least in this country there is no general worker shortage, except in some skilled fields like healthcare. There are just lots of underpaid, part-time jobs that do not pay enough that you can survive off them - cleaning, food courier, over the phone sales etc. I don't believe creating a new class of underprivileged working poor from migrants is ethical, I believe any job worth doing should pay an adequate wage. It's not state's job to subsidize companies with slave labour. Attracting skilled workers to enter the country is entirely another matter, ones who can actually earn a livable wage benefit the society as a whole.

More importantly what should I do if I get acquired? Assuming I am software engineer or engineering manager. Do people usually get fired?
Why did they take hostages? Because it was a terror attack?

And no, of course there is no threat if suoerior military starts levelling the city around you, why would that be dangerous in anyway...

By the way, the IDF already killed three hostages waving white flags. Nice rescue operation, I have to admit. At least now those hostages are safe from both, Hamas and the IDF.
I can’t put my finger on it, but I think the intellectually challenging part is at the heart of the matter. A wily person can talk their way through a debate by saying things that sound compelling. An educated person has more ability to reason: they can challenge you when they know they are right, and explain why you are wrong.

It’s the difference between bluffing and sincerity, or dishonesty and truthfulness. Current LLMs are confident liars.
That’s true, but I think the core of human communication has always been half of what you’ve listed - low intelligence, hating, spam and narcissism. It’s just more obvious and amplified online as you can see everyone engaging with it all at the same time. In pre-internet times, you’d need to be physically present and see maximum a bar-full amount of people doing that.

I’m still very hopeful we will use the tech to help up us with some non-communication related things. Maybe something that’ll even off-ramp people outside the internet world.
Yeah, it does get frequent updates. When you say improved - is there any area specifically where you think it needed improvement?
Huh, one of those reminded me of post-9/11 American euphemisms:

> Verschärfte Vernehmung ("strengthened interrogation"): torture

And the prefix „Welt-“ ("world-") reminds me of British politicians repeatedly calling their policies "world-leading" or "world-class".
Nothing got defined until much later, it's just that the early implementation of C used a 0, because it was not an usable address and they didn't want to burn any usable address space (of which there was only 56k on the PDP-11).
> Are these just empty words?

Yes. Without some kind of existing contract in place, they're meaningless.

> Or is it legally enforceable to send an email and forbid "copying" or publishing/disclosing the contents?

Only in extremely rare circumstances. It can be legally useful to put a note saying "Hey, this email contains trade secrets. If it was accidentally sent to you, you might want to think twice about further disseminating or selling these trade secrets." But the case law on this is quite weak, and putting the disclaimer on every email even if they don't contain trade secrets may be counter-productive by diluting the claim even in cases where it actually would apply. It's debatable but many legal scholars would assume similarly for a disclaimer on every single email saying "This is attorney-client privileged." unless maybe your business is a law firm.
Maybe about 3000 terrorists? Is this a Beslan like situation?
Genuine page turner.
What kind of companies or money making endeavours would allow for such exploratory behavior?
Women did a great deal of coding after that as well, they didn't disappear it just added a lot of boys who wanted to program their own games.

If you look at the absolute numbers graph that is obvious, women continued the same path it already had, men had a massive spike with the growth of home gaming. And that is still true today, extremely few girls dream of making their own games even though many of them play games and many games are marketed to women.
Actually there's increasing evidence that we are the cause of their demise.

We want to bring them back as hybrids as they're excellent for carbon sequestration at glacial limits. It's basically part of rewilding attempts to slow and mitigate the velocity of our current crisis. They'll likely be a hybrid with modern elephants.

It’s a big deal because aviation is one of those highly regulated industries where the documentation not existing is it self a crisis level event. Like VW emissions scandal bad. That’s if it never caused a single incident, which it obviously has.

I expected crypto to actually be adopted by a larger market. Since then I've been disillusioned and I have completely lost faith in it. It has been 15 years of Bitcoin and the usage is still pretty much limited to speculation and online scams. I can't think about a single popular online store that accepts any cryptocurrency.

On top of that the price of BTC is so disjointed from reality that a singular transaction at the time of writing this post costs ~12$. Imagine taking a single trip to a grocery store, a bakery and a meat shop and paying 36$ for, well, paying. It's insane.
We could debate that, but I think it's easier to just refer to the primary example of math. I offered that as an issue that requires absolutely no external interaction required there, whatsoever. It's entirely a mental creation. Like a child might say we somehow just 'thought it up.'
Until you realize that ChatGPT is also fluent in 20 other languages by including minimal data into the training dataset.

What an awesome nostalgia trip. Especially that VRML article, I worked at a web/graphic studio that specialised in VRML sites for a while. We all knew it was way too ahead of its time to work yet, but companies loved the hype and threw money at us to create “VR” versions of their pages.

It was a really really fun time to be involved in the web in general.

It's an interesting question but matrix mechanics is already a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_mechanics

For me it's a reminder that physics describes how quantum systems evolve, but it doesn't (in a sense) tell us what those systems are. Are particles waves? Matrices? Excitations of a field?

Each of these descriptions works, so I can't exclusively say any one of them is what particles really are. Bring a macroscopic being is philosophically frustrating.
In my opinion one the coolest new things to come to Ableton Live 12, and I hadn't even heard about it until stumbling on it by browsing through some comments.

Extremely well designed and crafted devices for live performance, but also many other use cases.

You have to think about the exploitability of your strategy. Both the IDF and Hamas optimize for a low exploitability number (though, Israel, really, you need to stagger your religious holidays, this is the second time this kind of thing has happened...), having a "kill count limiter" (in a value less than the mid single digit millions) is obviously a bad strategy and is extremely exploitable.
This often doesn't matter. What they're looking for is something to sue you for that isn't so blatantly absurd it would get their lawyers disbarred for making the claim, not something they can necessarily win on the merits.

Then they go to you and say hey, it'll cost you this many thousand dollars to hire a lawyer and defend against this lawsuit in court -- even if you win. Or, you can just pay a fraction of that right now and it will all go away.
Understanding is good. You don't need to agree with someone but to understand someone is always good.

To see the world through anothers eyes might be the only way how those who view progress as too far can be reached and talked with. How can someone willfully ignorant change their mind?

Understanding isn't something that only ones enemies have to do. Understanding can be a prerequisite of forgiveness and necessary for peace.

Many do not want to understand or forgive for many factors. Understanding these factors is good.

(In a political context, personally I find politicians are able to understand others views most. They understand and can approach those with differing viewpoints)
Personal opinion: If Linux "catches on" without dropping X11 rather quickly, it will lose all of the momentum. Xorg offers a fairly good out-of-box experience on many GPUs but it falls apart when you try to do things that would be considered normal on other OSes, like having displays of different DPIs, streaming 4K video via OBS, and so forth. Everybody keeps treating this issue like it's just programmers deprecating old code for fun, but the actual reality of it is that you can only like Xorg if you exist in the narrow space where it is sufficient, and while it's easy to downplay the importance of its shortcomings if you either coincidentally follow the line or if perhaps your behavior has adjusted to the limitations, it's much harder when you're having to explain it to someone who is trying to get into Linux for the first time and realizing what they have taken for granted elsewhere.

Yes, a broken Wayland session won't be much better. But if the Wayland session is still not suitable for a majority of users by the time Fedora 41 ships, whatever window of opportunity exists for Linux is going to just get missed entirely.

I tend to assume incompetence rather than malice. The marketing person that wrote that piece of copy never worried about the lifecycle waste analysis of the project they were working on, because they trusted the CEO/founder that hired them, who said it was gonna be good for the environment. They probably aren't the type of person that worries about nor has the skills to do a lifecycle waste analysis.
At the time the reason for switching were some neat code improvements that resharper could do that VA couldn't. Most of those are now part of VS itself though. I'd actually have to go through my keybinds to see which are actually resharper functionality. I always liked VSs "list all functions in this file", never found a good replacement for that.
Permit me to disagree with about all of your conclusions here.

First of all, the cassettes are returnable. This is also mentioned on their website. * https://daan.tech/discover-bob-cassette/

> Each Bob cassette is returnable and reusable. We refill them and put them back on the market. Close the loop, lower your carbon footprint.

You're also NOT required to use the cassettes. You can just throw standard dishwasher tablets in. This is mentioned in Bob's manual, and probably on the website as well. I've been doing this for years and had no issue. There is no DRM-like aspect to Bob.

And finally, it's not a worse washing machine as you say, it's just smaller and more flexible (wrt plumbing), and as Techmoan mentions in his intro, this is a very strong advantage of Bob for people living in small European apartments.

Congrats on launching. The customer list is impressive.
Migrants more often than not create jobs for locals (just not uneducated locals, who get mad when uneducated migrants are willing to do the same work for less money).
Guessing at second intentions from someone who has successfully climbed the social hierarchy is a safer bet then swearing by their eternal innocence.
I don't see that as a threat just yet. It seems simpler: stock value prices expected future growth. Nvidia has already grown to a highly dominant position. I don't see how it can grow much more to fill expectations of the staggering stock price. I'm expecting more of a regression to the mean soon, with Nvidia losing a bit of their lead.

I have no data or sources to back this up.
It seems unwise to make life choices based on even the sure fact that your employer is in acquisition talks? Probably even if you are a founder personally carrying out acquisition talks?

Faking paperwork after the fact is unambiguous mens rea and “inadvertently made an alarm feature optional instead of standard” is not.
It was formulated at least twice in different versions. First by Heisenberg with his matrix mechanics and shortly afterwards by Schrödinger in terms of wave-functions.

There was considerable disagreement between the factions of physicists who favoured the different versions which essentially ended when after some considerable theoretical effort (mostly by Dirac) it was shown that the two pictures are exactly equivalent.

Physicists still use whichever formulation is most suitable for whatever problem they're trying to solve, for example if you're analysing the something where you care about a bunch of bound states like the simple harmonic oscillator or the hydrogen atom then the matrix picture tends to be easier to work with.

You are right that wave mechanics was more popular than matrix mechanics because physicists were already very familiar with wave methods.
I wonder if we see more and more people using a plane multiple times per week to reach their destination[^1] from a low-cost housing location because it's too expensive to live in the high-cost destination.
