>yet it has ~99% less emissions since you're not making a whole sentient animal when all you want to harvest is its flesh

source? The only way I can see this being true is for cows, because the live animal produces methane during digestion, but for other meats (eg. pork/chicken), I'm not sure how you can get 99% reductions in "emissions" (whatever that means).
Ah, so that's why. I wonder what we get on wednesday. Maybe CMS?
A 5% decrease is "significantly worse off"? And it's still higher than 2018--it's not really reasonable to expect an increase every single year, you should look at the longer-term trend.
So apparently using this thing requires people to sign up and interview through ID.me, a private company with some controversy around facial recognition stuff and a non-governmental domain in Montenegro.

There's a certain flavor of very banal insanity here, as the US government (A) tries to outsource a core competency of identifying taxpayers in its jurisdiction and (B) promotes a domain name that should instead be a bad-answer in anti-phishing security training.
You took his first statement out of context which made it worse than it sounds. Hell, I thought the author was an a-hole because I read your comment prior to reading the article.

He says human rights are important and treating other people well is the right thing to do and that's non-negotiable. Which is a fair statement. What decent human being would disagree with that?

He's right about having a diverse set of eyes and opinions on a team being a positive thing. But most people see the word "diversity" and think about the forced diversity quota of 'we need 1 black person, 1 gay person, 2 woman, one Latino and one Indian' kind of diversity, which speaking as someone from a minority, I too am against it.

When I was that age I tried to copy games; first in Basic and then in hybrid Basic/ASM (data 3e,00,cd,...; I never actually used an assembler). Like the OP, also on a MSX. I wanted to know how they worked ; I always found it boring playing them (still find it boring), but how they work under the hood always was interesting to me. It's also how I learned about hardware; I wanted to expand my machine so started meeting up with (to me extremely old) guys who knew how everything worked. The MSX I had came with schematics in the box, so that was fun.
My "what if someone made a lookup table of everything I ever said in response to something else" hypothetical is pretty flimsy - I realized that right after writing it.

The point I wanted to make is that concepts of sentience, consciousness, reasoning, intelligence, etc. are very philosophically loaded ideas.

Responding to your comment, I don't think anyone credible is arguing that a human being is somehow the same as a neural network. I think the question at play here is "what constitutes reasoning?" - and more specifically "can a deterministic process reason?"

This is not a new debate at all - an abacus can tell us truths about the world, but we don't consider the abacus intelligent. Is GPT-4 somehow different, or is it a very large abacus?
udp[8] = 1 filters only handshake packets. Without it, data packets would also be sent to the userspace daemon.

This is like saying that because the possible books that can be written are finite (assuming some max length) then eventually every books will be written and writers will have nothing to do. While mathematically true, the word "eventually" is doing a lot of work.
I don't recognize this picture at all. Even if you aren't distinguishing between ads and search results I'm not seeing scams as adverts but there may be a difference between the UK and US app stores in this respect perhaps.

For me on apple UK app store:

my bank - Ad: another legit bank. First result: my bank

Train company - Ad: a generic legit train booking app. First result: the train company

My broker - Ad: another broker. First result: my broker

Official government app for paying my tax - ad: a general tax app. First result: government app.

It stands to reason that they won't show an ad for the thing you're searching when it's the first organic result so I don't find this surprising.

[1] I have two and tried both. Results were the same with a different legit bank as the ad each time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Making the editor intuitive and easy to use was a top priority, so I'm glad to you love it. Indeed, it was quite a massive project, but feedback like yours makes it all worthwhile.

Some, yes. Adobe products also widely used.

Fun story from a friend who worked on Dune 1:

Big films like Dune can push these products to their limits in unexpected ways. Avid product support apparently can dispatch live humans to your workstation same day if the software is not working as expected.

I have never heard of a support person being helicoptered in, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it has happened on a big budget production that was blocked by a software issue.
There's some saying about being old vs feeling old. Can't remember the wording.
Do you mean the ad at the top? For me, the first result is always an ad which is mostly not the right result, and the second entry (the first actual result) is the right app.

Personally I think when I'm in doubt and doing the circling you describe, I'm closer to the truth then when I think my arguments are water tight. Too often I've been so sure, only to be thrown off later.

I also think that making a convincing story is more about retorica then logic.
Doesn't seem right, if a state capital city base chance for a nuclear strike is 1% and you have 195 capitals or so 2 of them would be hit by now.
Serious question. I used Turbotax again this year. I want to get off of it next year.

But does Direct File support literally everything? SEP-IRA->Traditional->Roth double rollovers with capital-gains in-between and partially pretax and partially posttax basis, cryptocurrency staking, straddles where you sold one leg before the other, incurred wash sales, sold RSUs but have both capital gains and income taxes associated with them, bought bonds at a market discount, paid estimated taxes, all of that fancy shit?

I hate taxes in this country, why can't they just flat tax all the money I made in the year ...

To your last point, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction

A LUT version of you is inductive. Every observed input/output pair does not uniquely identify your current state. Much like a puddle left by a melted ice cube indicates its volume, but little to nothing of its shape.

Post LUT-you genesis, applying property based fuzz testing would quickly reveal that the LUT-you is one of an infinite number of LUT-yous that melts into the puddle of historical data, but not the LUT-you that is the original ice cube.

>People can not be reduced to lookup tables even in theory

Sure you can. Simply enumerate all of the physical states that the atoms in your body could be in. Any finite-sized object has a finite number of possible states, and so can be represented by a finite lookup table.

Your argument is so broad as to be meaningless.

The goal isn't to make the networks seem like one and connect resources across accounts, which is what those products do.

My goal is to access private resources via SSH bastion/jump machines in a specific account. There's a few ways to do this in AWS, but all of them are more costly by a pretty wide margin.
I was a .NET developer for most of my early career. Only recently has a different stack replaced .NET as the one I have most YoE with.

I decided I wanted to leave the world of non-tech enterprise companies and get into a Silicon Valley style tech company for greater pay and perks. As my job search went on, I realized having .NET in my resume was a big problem. I was showered with recruiters pitching jobs at the types of companies I specifically did not want to work at - because .NET is a huge presence there.

Only after I removed every mention of .NET from my resume and LinkedIn profile did I get more focused (albeit fewer) attention from the types of companies I was interested in.
Typing is just a medium, it is irrelevant. Seeing and all the other senses that you mentioned are input within a context window.
It depends on what the 10% is. For example, if your code only works 90% of the time that's not exactly good enough to use...
I'm delighted to hear that you found the tool helpful.
As a numerical function it can be implemented on an abacus so I don't think it's any different from a large enough abacus. It's practically not feasible but theoretically there is no idealization or abstraction happening when numerical calculations on a computer are transferred to an abacus.
Insults in an insult generator is a problem how?
what a shocking news
Another interesting measurement discrepancy that scientists initially ascribed to measurement error is the Axis of Evil. The first space telescope Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), launched in the 90's, that made a map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) included a pattern in it which aligns the CMB with the solar system's plane very precicely, which is hard to ascribe to chance. This contradicts the Copernican principle, which says that earth and the solar system is not special and any solar system and location in the universe is not special.

Scientists thought it must be something to do with the COBE telescope which caused this anomaly. They thought it would disappear with the next space telescope.

The second space telescope that measured the CMB, the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), launched in 2001, made a more precise, higher resolution image of the CMB. However, the anomaly was still there. Still scientists thought there must be something wrong in the measurements or calculations. They were keeping their hopes up for the third space telescope that would measure the CMB.

The third space telescope, the Planck Surveyor, launched in 2009, made even more precise measurements. However, the anomaly still persists, and to this day. That is why the anomaly has gotten the name "Axis of Evil", because it defies all our understanding of the universe!

There is also Nvitop[1], which is more to my liking.

You could represent all the input on different levels as numbers, e.g. all EM waves hitting our eyes, then all the physical output from our body also as numbers, and everything that causes this output from input within is what you would consider to be a lookup table.
The downside with nvitop is that it's written in python, which means having it in your environment can cause dependency conflicts. It's either that or you have a separate venv just for it. Maybe it's fine for personal use but sysadmins would prefer nvtop
> Also, if you have acid reflux, vinegar will absolutely destroy your stomach and make your acid reflux 100% worse

I replaced my Prilosec prescription (for severe acid reflux) with diluted ACV. After a few years, I no longer needed even the ACV, although I occasionally take it for various other claimed benefits. It has been about eight years since I last needed Prilosec. I don't have a hole in my stomach, and in fact am healthier than most people I know - mostly hooked on some meds.

Sounds like your friend did something wrong. Possibilities: she took way too much ACV, or she didn't dilute it. In my experience, it's pretty common for people to mess up even simple [nutrition and healthcare] instructions.
Then give some concrete numbers for the states of the atoms. My argument is not abstract, it is very concrete. Give me a neural network and I can generate the graph and prove the equivalence between the network and its graph representation as a table of tuples.
> before that there were also issues with asbestos in brakes, but thankfully those haven't been used since the 90s as far as I know

I’d be careful with assuming that. A lot of consumables are imported directly from China, and the cost of car maintenance can be eye-watering, so it’s exactly the type of part I’d expect to be procured as cheaply as possible.

People care about the brand of tyres on their car, I don’t even know of any brake pad brands.

The is dead in much the same the Aztecs were dead immediately prior to the arrival of the Spanish. Consolidation into proprietary closed gardens corrupted it like a cancer and mass content population via AI will kill it. It’s time for a competing format. Any will do, but we could do something superior.

A superior format would look like:

* Full duplex binary sockets for transmission versus HTTP or WebSockets. It shouldn’t require proprietary software to perform a video call in a browser when modern browsers fully support that capability. The web could be fast and simple but it certainly isn’t.

* Markdown instead of HTML. Accessible semantic HTML is just too challenging for most people.

* Most developers are too stupid and fearful to make direct use of the DOM. Embracing the DOM must be mandatory with 100% dedication without alternatives or abstractions in future software or it must be abandoned in the entirety. Provided the opportunity to get this wrong most developers will find a self-serving way to fuck this up nine times out of ten, so don’t cave to weakness on this.

* No matter what the solution is it should enshrine a forced dichotomy of anonymity or privacy. It must be a choice and that choice must be clear and mandatory. If you try for both you will have neither and developers will cry about how hard life is, like with the DOM. Don’t give the whiners an excuse to whine.

Looks interesting, but I’d never adopt anything with a license like that, especially if it mixes infrastructure and source code.

Thanks, I thought whether I want ReMarkable or iPad 12.9 for reading PDFs.

I had this the biggest iPad back in the days it was introduced, but gave it to a friend as it felt too big for me, and way too expensive for what I wanted from an iPad. (Basically just a YouTube streamer, and my long obsolete iPad 3 from 2012 still does the job, surprisingly.) I checked iPad Pro 12.9 and there are justifiable prices for used ones, so I think I’ll replace my iPad 3 with this big one, which will allow me to read PDFs more comfortably as well.

Btw, I tried printing some PDFs and I don’t like it that way. I know to each their own, someone likes the books printed, but I’m the opposite of that. So much that I had donated all the physical library of my dad’s books I had in the house after his passing out, as I realized I would never read them in paper.

What are the dimension of the input and output spaces involved in this idealization? In the case of a neural network there is no idealization. The network is software, it's a number. It's inputs and outputs are all bounded and can be expressed as a table of bounded tuples.

Are you talking about some as yet unseen research/technology? The aesthetic sample looks like something we could have seen on the SD subreddit for the last year.
Pet peeve if you're writing research papers:

"meta-analytic sHR of 0.22 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.29), 0.53 (0.44 to 0.63) and 0.45 (0.38 to 0.53), respectively, for 0–30 days after SARS-CoV-2 infection, while in the 91–180 days sHR were 0.53 (0.40 to 0.70), 0.72 (0.58 to 0.88) and 0.61 (0.51 to 0.73), respectively"

I hate jargon like this. To translate into human language:

"In a meta-analysis of correlational studies, vaccinated individuals have a risk of developing long-term heart complications which varies by complication. Pulmonary embolism and venous thromboembolism show reductions down to around a quarter or a fifth of unvaccinated individuals during the acute phase, suggesting a very significant reduction in short-term risk. Long-term risks are reduced, but only marginally. Others disorders show more modest or no reduction. Detailed results are shown in Figure 2."

I like language like the above.

It is also helpful to point out that correlation is not causation, and there are other significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts. Something like an 80% reduction in risk is unlikely to be due to that, but the more modest effects very likely could be.
Sadly even if you make it easy to do the right thing, without the right attitude to match it matters little. Some people still concatenate unsanitized input with raw SQL strings despite the abundance of libraries that make creating safe queries easier.
