one stupid idea for "de-dupiclating" LLM-generated summaries, translations and elaborations could be to ask another LLM for a spefific format of detailed summary and score on the similarity of that (punishing duplication of content that was already present in the index before and from a different domain)

Not a production-ready idea of course, and the ideal LLM for that might have yet to be invented.

Still, I have plenty of faith in Google still to apply techniques like this in a clever way.

They were very serious about their "Knowledge Graph" already 15 years ago, albeit with totally different data processing and acquisition techniques.

If all else fails, Google has historically put much of the burden on website authors, e.g. all the schema.org and other structured data stuff.

Their game has become much harder, but I still believe that Google can and will remain competitive in web search at least for quite a while to come.

Despite all the frustrating spam and a perceivable drop in results quality over the last 5 years, I still don't know about any fully competitive rival for Google.
Another interesting technique to fingerprint users online is called GPU Fingerprinting [1] (2022).

Codenamed 'DrawnApart', the technique relies on WebGL to count the number and speed of the execution units in the GPU, measure the time needed to complete vertex renders, handle stall functions, and more stuff

Can you please cite some evidence for this? My understanding is that specialization into trades was an outcome of the agricultural revolution, which happened quite a bit later than 30,000 BC.

I've been wondering recently what exactly the concrete vehicle of modern Christofacism would be. This seems to be it. Terrifying.
Everything you said sounds interesting, but my experience, as a scientist in a different field, is that media focused for regular non-expert people simply isn't going to capture those kinds of things. You need to find recent papers, review articles or maybe textbooks to get that kind of information, basically its going to be in documents targeted at experts in this field not lay people.
Maybe? Although viruses that we are naturally exposed to on a daily basis don't routinely bypass the mucous membrane barrier, and do not roam freely throughout our bodies. And they normally do have a targeting mechanism that allows them to selectively infect certain types of cells. And in any case, viruses are supposed to be bad for the organism; so I am not sure how this consideration helps.
I see elsewhere you mention that you use at most once processing. So, I was possibly mistaken that the function can be called more than once assuming you did this right (cleared the job before even invoking the job). My primary point still stands: this is not idempotent, at least not in the way that matters. This is single-try processing. If all you are doing is returning a synchronous error to the user so that they can retry (and again, every other operation leading up to the one that failed to process is actually idempotent) then this would not be catastrophic. The issue is when people start to think that this actually is idempotence, i.e., they attempt to reuse an idempotence key across requests when the first one straight up failed (or not, who knows).

In other words, don't use the idempotence helper if you care about the thing happening. If it's optional, sure, go for it. You could rename it to "tryOnce", or "maybeRun" rather than "idempotence" and it'd be more accurate / less misleading.
Before open source was a thing, I used to sell my code as shareware. The compiled library was free to use, but had some limitations. The source code version cost money and was not limited. I originally wrote the code to scratch my own itch, but it turned out to be useful to others.

I made a bit of money from it, but ultimately the support ate up all my time, and it was not worth it in the end.

These days I just open source my code. I still love writing it and I get great pleasure to see others getting value from it. I earn enough in my day job that I don't want to turn the things I do for fun into another job.

There are a few differences, depending on how you evolve from the CBPV core, but basically other types may be eager or lazy. Functions can be eager (and thus statically know to represent an eager call tree) and sum types can be lazy (deferring choice). These distinctions are all available at the type level.

To have thunking only arise from single unit-arg functions kind of depletes the logic of useful structure. But it’s not wrong to see it as an approximation.
Use speech synthesis rather than sampled audio — Speak & Spell did comprehensible speech with a few kilobytes of ROM in 1978.

With the benefit of a modern microcontroller, I imagine you could do natural-ish speech with only moderately larger parameter sets.

I am yet to find a reason for having children that is neither based on a past, now non-existent economic concern, nor could be retorted to with "so would getting yourself addicted to drugs". This article is of the latter variety.

Why WOULD I want to sign up for either an endless bunch of chores, OR a bogus chemical change in my brain - let alone both - to make me stop pondering the meaning of life?

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-natalist and I support people having kids. Heck I'd pay for people to have more kids! I just want people to stop getting self-important about it. Purely by the numbers of the people who have accomplished child-rearing, it's one of the least special jobs in the world; maybe the least special of all - almost anyone can do it. There's more (real, not drug-like) meaning in agriculture or trash pickup.
> Anti-vaxxers predate Covid.

Every idea exists, the question is how prevalent. I knew many people who did not take it due to mandates, or took it and resisted the mandates (never showed card etc).

In retrospect the alarmism you’re still using was totally wrong. I believe the official story now is that Covid vaccines mildy reduce symptoms and more effectively reduce transmission?

I mean viruses target everything and nothing, and mutate insanely rapidly. I imagine the majority that enter our bodies aren’t able to perform any function, and then the ones that can will opportunistically infect anything without regard for the consequences.

As for whether or not viruses are bad for us, I mean I don’t think we have any choice in the matter anyway, they’re even more numerous than bacteria, and absolutely everywhere.

I wonder how many viruses infect our cells every day vs how many “lipid viruses” are in a standard Moderna Covid shot.
I think the easiest way to think of it is having a single word mantra that you repeat while you meditate to keep your focus on meditation and not let your mind wander in different directions.

If you try the single word mantra thing you’ll probably find that it’s not exactly enough to keep your focus. But it’s an easy way to explain that it’s less like “praying” than about the recitation of the prayer because focusing your mind on the recitation will help you focus.
That's the result that happened in this example...
No, Bruno offers paid but with Postman it burns: they removed your personal data after upgrade and you can't store your own data locally.

I will likely buy Bruno because it is a one time fee and I control my data. It should work forever after that.

They can run whatever they want. I, and the parent, wont be using it.

Bruno has a paid option too, btw, and I'm fine with that. I'd be fine even if it was the only option. Login and extra BS features to tie me in? No, thanks.

It's a shame mRNA vaccines don't work like traditional vaccines. The problem with mRNA vaccines is that they cause the immune system to attack healthy cells throughout the body, when the injected mRNA causes those cells to emit foreign proteins. For most parts of the body, that's fine, because it's okay to gain some muscle scar tissue in the arm. But muscle scar tissue in the heart will measurably shorten one's life expectancy.

mRNA injections are meant to be intramuscular, but some will become accidentally intravenous if the needle accidently enters (or nicks) a blood vessel. And then the substance will enter the heart and lungs where healthy heart and lung cells will begin expressing the Covid spike protein, causing those heart and lung cells to be killed by cytotoxic T cells and NK (natural killer) cells.

We used to protect against accidental intravenous injection by a technique called "aspiration", where the plunger of the syringe is withdrawn slightly prior to injection, to check for blood. However, aspiration was stopped around 2010 as it was feared the slight increase in injection pain might put people off getting routine vaccinations.

Similarly, my question is if we trick random cells around the body into producing these spike proteins, and they presumably don't stop for a while (no idea on how long), does this not also create an undo burdon on the immune system until the cells artificially producing the protein die? And if there's loose RNA floating around, after these cells die can another cell _also_ start reproducing the protein?

Your first couple sentences really confuse me. The scientists playing make believe are playing make believe with years of knowledge and experience studying stone age tools. They are seeking to accurately make believe how the tools are made and used by investigating tools in various states of assembly and wear. Machinists would be playing make believe with a bias toward modern manufacture, materials, and design, and rural people would be playing make believe without any tool making experience because they just buy axes from the hardware store instead of knapping stone and wrapping string. Their input would absolutely be useful, especially with regards to situational use, and I think more fields need cross-participation for this reason, but these scientists aren't less qualified than anyone else for studying prehistoric tools
Building Recommendation System with Deep Reinforcement Learning and Neo4j
I view this as obvious but I guess that doesn't go without saying. The two cultures I've characterized actually share a commonly held strong belief that there exist metrics or heuristics that can replace the need for fluid critical thinking. Obviously it's not everyone in either culture who thinks this way, but it's a dangerous form of automation for both

You are correct, and the problem with these articles is that they sound too much like a sales pitch and less like a responsible general-public divulgation article.

She may not go in detail about the items aforementioned, but she doesn't even mention once that the technology might have have possible dangers, and that one must exercise caution in its evaluation. The article its all about the potential benefits of the technology, without warning the public about its potential dangers.

She even mentions that "the FDA is so painfully slow, and so indifferent to human suffering. It takes, on average, eight years to get a new drug through clinical trials."

Yeah, those pesky thorough clinical trials, they are a hurdle on the return on investment.
The effect is not new. We have known about it ever since we've had basic machine learning. The way to look at it is somewhat novel but not surprising at all.

Capitalism is a production system where ressources allocation is decided by capital owners. It doesn't really oppose socialism (after all, if we're all capital owners we can all decide what to produce collectively!) , it's more opposed to dirigism (it has another name but I cannot remember). Successful example of dirigism are stuff like Apollo, Airbus or the Messmer Plan, often requires high centralization, which makes it highly undesirable to people (like me).

Anyway, mixed economy all the way imho. Capitalism for small stuff, dirigism in natural monopolies.
I don't understand your claim that this is a python specific issue.

There are C++ libraries that require C++11. As a result if you have an older compiler that does not support C++11 it will just not compile.

Same if you try to compile with C++11 compiler a super old project with old libraries. More likely than not it will break.

The fact that other languages ignore the problem, it does not make the problem go away.

At least python is pragmatist and comes with virtual environments instead of requiring me to set up containers or VMs to deal with package compatibility.
Rent control, as flawed as it may be, aims to solve a real socioeconomic problem: people being driven out of their homes and neighbourhoods by rapidly rising costs.

Proponents of a free market solution to this problem point out the disincentive effect it has on building new rental housing by depressing possible profits. Getting rid of the price control should encourage building and thus, by increasing supply, keep rental prices low... BUT. Won't profits be kept low then, perpetuating the disincentive to build? I mean, If depressed profit opportunities are the problem, housing cost must rise for them to become enticing.

So, as I understand it a free housing market, all other things being equal, cannot provide a solution to the "people being driven out of their homes" problem.

But, please, enlighten me if I'm mistaken.

This just smells foul; can't help but be sceptical. Diana de Avila sounds like an arist who crafted a story to sell her work, and George Logothetis sounds like a genius who was approched by Treffert and convinced that actually he's smart because he had an infection at the age of 2.

> In Treffert’s response to de Avila’s outreach, he called her story “compelling, and your artwork amazing.”

> “He was like a father figure to us weird circus people. He was the ringleader of this beautiful circle of giftedness,”

Treffert sounds like grade A manipulator, though not sure who's using who here.

> It’s the world’s fifth largest economy

You're comparing $3.9T to $2.4T, but that's still not the metric you look at. It's whether you're a landlord in a town of 5,000, a mid-sized city, or a 2M metro, and what the local economy looks like.

> California vacancy rates speak for themselves

This goes two ways. On one hand, it's an opportunity. On the other, it's an opportunity a lot of people clearly don't want to take.

> Texas also has the nation’s 7th highest property tax rate

As long as it's consistent and the regulators allow it, you just pass it on to tenants. CA's Prop 13, while making overall property taxes lower, puts you at a weird disadvantage compared to incumbent landlords.
Thunk is a general concept of a small function which is used only to adapt the call or prepare/modify it in some way and then redirect to the proper function. Things like promises, futures, closures, wrappers, stubs or implementations of the concept of virtual function tables in some OO languages (like C++) are just special use cases of thunks (thunks are often used to implement them).
