If Nintendo sued Yuzu because they were indirectly causing damage, then I can sue car makers for making air polution.
Having lived in an actual third world country for a couple decades, I personally can't take statements such as "xx is becoming more like a third world country" seriously. I get the sentiment behind it though.

If I compare, for example, my experience living in cities in China vs cities in Europe, I would argue that the relative freedom of movement forces residents in Europe to confront the inequality in their everyday lives.

In China, on the other hand, such inequality can be easily covered up by either confining the migrant workers (an artificially created underclass of people without hukou[0] registration in the city but still seek opportunities there) in urban villages[1], or sometimes, simply cracking down on and expelling them through policy changes with little resistance[2].

I don't doubt the fact that you're not a sheltered person, but even the average urban residents in China can be oblivious to the plight or even the existence of such an underclass. I'd argue that one can be quite sheltered even if they live there, which is also by design. And this is actually quite common in relatively wealthy Asian countries, see this example [3] in Singapore of how people talk about maids.

Paris needs a new center. Like many other cities, build more places where people want to flock so you get pressure off the center.

Most new developments are in dead areas because nobody wants to spend time surrounded by ugly, bland and functional architecture.
It stretches credulity that the US wasn't involved in some way. The state department had an opinion on what outcome they wanted [0] and it'd be out of character if they didn't put their thumb on the scale as much as was necessary to get the outcome they wanted.

We don't really need public acknowledgement to assume that the US is involved in American politics. If there is a coup in their back garden, they'll have someone there doing some pruning.

"...Paper Straws Contain Traces of Toxic Forever Chemicals"

Good idea, but what are you going to use instead? As plastic ones are out, that only leaves glass and perhaps bamboo straws. I know they exist as I've seen them (but I can't say I've seen a glass one in decades).

Unfortunately, from my recollection, glass straws are inconvenient and can be dangerous if broken.

Frankly, I reckon it's hopeless, between nano plastics and PFAS I can't possibly conceive how I can effectively eliminate them from my life.
> is that we don't want to stop an endemic.

In my opinion, there's no significant levers left to push to affect infection rates much.

Of course, we should be doing everything reasonable we can to tamp down COVID (and the flu). But short of permanent quarantine or forcing anti-vaxxers to get vaccinated, I'm not sure what there's left to do.

(It would be nice if we could socially normalize and encourage wearing a mask when one feels slightly sick, too).
Grass-fed cows still produce methane and require vehicles to transport them when bought and when slaughtered. The fields they are kept in will also need trees to be cleared and plants killed in favour of grass. How does that not add to climate change?
I think eventually AMD and other players are going to mive in with force and we will see a surplus of supply in a few years, especially when China starts to spit out a lower end version of...everything.

It adds a lot. Cows produce a lot of methane which is more destructive than CO2 (though lasts shorter). Also, in transportation, the main contributor is the last mile so "local" produce doesn't necessarily have less contributions per transported unit.
Also heme iron is carcinogenic[1].

Wikipedia is premised on being a tertiary source, and pays a price for every "layer" of content they add in volunteer time needed to correct inaccuracies, which are constantly being added. People have all sorts of ideas about things Wikipedia could be besides an encyclopedia, but the project is (wisely) not receptive to any of them. Meanwhile: if you're right about this, you can just fork and track Wikipedia and do your own site.
Same here; when I saw the title I was like "well obviously not, where did you hear that?"

Matrix multiplication is just an effective representation for the dense graph structures. The same graphs could be implemented in other ways (adjacency list, edge list), perform the same overall logic, without doing vector/matrix/tensor math. It seems like the magic is in the overall idea of neurons and networks of them following increasingly interesting architectures and training mechanisms.

But because these graphs are mostly dense and involve numerical operations, matrices/tensors are a great implementation.
This is cool but it just makes me think the Shuttle was absurdly inefficient across the board. Why waste not just the launch weight but the engineering work on making such a specialized printer? Aren’t we talking about the late 70s/ early 80s? Surely there were commercially available printers that could have been substituted that would weigh less and wouldn’t have the overheating issues. Having unlimited government money is ultimately a curse for efficiency and performance.
So says every loser when they are bested by their own ignorance.
> I live in a town of 125k people, where I can reach any spot by bike or public transport in about 30 minutes. Perfectly commutable. It has a few jobs for people like me, but not enough for a decent amount of variety.

Car-free center can work there too. But for 125k people it might just be a few blocks square in the middle. The math is pretty simple. If density is so low that there can't be stations every 5 minutes of walking, or so low that businesses like large detached grocery stores, gas stations, building material stores and so on could even think of being there, then it's 100% car territory.

But one shouldn't let it become self-fulfilling. If city restaurants have parking then they need a lot of space, which lowers density, and they become unattractive to people who are walking. So a key ingredient for a car free city could be to ensure no establishments have parking lots within a specified distance of the city center. It's nearly impossible to combine parking lots with walkability.
How is driving to a costco, parking on a giant parking lot, walking through a massive store, loading up a cart, walking the the cart to your car/truck, unloading everything, returning the cart, and then driving home at all efficient?

People do giant shopping trips exactly because the whole process is so cumbersome.

The US has the longest commutes of any country in the world because of urban sprawl and zoning. Car-free cities offer an alternative to that way of life.

Being able to have individuals at a different volume is something I almost desperately want in work meetings.

I'd also love something that would allow me to be in several "breakout" chats at once, but not silence everything, just allow me to turn some rooms down and mute myself in them while I interact in another. Bonus if there's an indicator of how much activity there is in the non-focused ones so I can see if something may need attention, or if everyone in it is silent, and not need to listen in.

Most conferencing software seems to treat meetings like individual entities, which works fine when they are just scheduled meetings, but isn't great when you have several groups to work with at once. Being able to have a team know you're in another chat and be able to say "Hey scaryclam, we found something, can you drop into the conversation for a minute", from their chat would be awesome in something like an incident call.
Would you not basically be starting over at that point, though?

Note that emulators for all(?) other Nintendo consoles remain available, and were available while the consoles were relevant. There is little Nintendo can do as long as the authors actively steer clear of guiding/condoning piracy or guiding/condoning certain types of DRM-bypass.

It was to my knowledge Yuzu's stance on this particular matter that cost them the project, with Nintendo lawyers striking once they saw the hole in the homebrew armor.

If this were true Roe would still be the law of the land, we'd have meaningful gun control, a path to citizenship for undocumented workers, a stronger response to climate change, etc. etc. This stuff all has > 60% support, but there's practically no hope of it passing.

Would you imagine that you could you still buy/sell patents?

In which case - Google, rather than applying for patents itself, offers a patent purchase programme for employees. It will buy every patent filed for by it's employees as "Individual personally filing a patent" for 1000 USD.
>Also bearish on programmers keeping up on their fundamental algorithms, rather than trying to throw NNs at every problem.

Besides interviews, at least 90% of developers have no need for 'fundamental algorithms'. The library being used uses them in some way sure, but the vast majority of devs simply need to know how to use the tool, not how the tool itself is developed.
They did a lot on medical scan visualization pretty early on too.
One btrfs bug which is 100% reproducible:

* Start with an ext3 filesystem 70% full.

* Convert to btrfs using btrfs-convert.

* Delete the ext3_saved snapshot of the original filesystem as recommended by the convert utility.

* Enable compression (-o compress) and defrag the filesystem as recommended by the man page for how to compress all existing data.

It fails with out of disk space, leaving a filesystem which isn't repairable - deleting files will not free any space.

The fact such a bug seems to have existed for years, with such a basic following of the man pages for a common use case (migration to btrfs to make use of its compression abilities to get more free space), tells me that it isn't yet ready for primetime.
slashlit?
Why would Btrfs have a big(ger) future than Bcachefs when the latter seems to have the same functionality and less 'historical baggage'†?

I remember when Btrfs was initially released (I was doing Solaris sysadmining, and it was billed as "ZFS for Linux"), and yet here we are all these years later and it still seems to be 'meh'.

Logseq is at the top of the list and would be the most similar/robust in terms of linking, visualizations and plugins [0]. It’s also open source, and I think a lot of development would shift in this direction if Obsidian ever angered the community.

Roam Research is also conceptually similar but I’ve spent less time digging into the tooling.

I’ve also been keeping an eye on Zettlr and Joplin, but these are not as flexible and their usefulness would depend on how you’re using Obsidian.

I misplaced the link to the repo right, but there was a “universal markdown notes migrator” project I found on GH back when I was evaluating Obsidian that looked promising and the goal was to facilitate movement between tools.

I think the liberal immigration policy might play a role here. Sweden has taken a huge amount in the past 15 years, twenty percent of the population are immigrants.

Obviously, most of them are not criminals. But on a group level, they are more likely to commit crimes. About 2x compared to Swedes, after adjusting for income, age and education (it's higher before adjusting, obviously).

Digging deeper, there are large differences between groups.

For example, the group men (compared to women) are much more likely to commit crimes. Another factor that stands out is geography. People from East Asia have similar crime-rates as Swedes, while people from Africa are 5-10x as likely to commit crimes (compared to Swedes).

This holds for most categories, including violent crimes, sexual crimes and a bunch of other groups.

When we don’t have a model of the problem it takes enormous amounts of power to synthesize one out of neurons or another general function approximating primitive.

But once we understand a little bit about the problem we can model 80-90% of its behavior with a handful of parameters. Add in some bias and noise parameters and you have an accurate trainable machine learning model that’s orders of magnitude more efficient.

Take for example a spring which can be modeled by 1 or 2 parameters. But its impulse response looks like a sin curve multiple by exponential decay.

If you just train neurons to match input/outputs from a spring you need a ridiculous number of model parameters to describe that shape.

CNNS have seen an enormous amount of success due to this fact: a lot of processes can be modeled by convolution.
You want people to go to the store every day? God forbid people want to relax after work.

The bear case:

1) AGI won't happen because we are on the wrong path

2) AI being a big part of our lives is still a theory. Aswath Damodaran has some brief thoughts on this.

But the biggest bear case has to be that the technology won't get better. Essentially, everyone assumes that it will without reservations.
> BTW, calling LLM shit out for what it is

Calling things out for what you interpret them as falls on a spectrum of “politely raising concerns” and “just being unnecessarily dickish”. You were definitely towards the wrong end of that initially, with the added dimension of being wrong due to assuming things instead of actually taking a second to look at what you are commenting on, and your edits have not improved the impression you are giving of yourself.

Yea, I wish them the best, but I would not take the other side of that bet. It’s sad that we all know it will happen and have relatively no political power to change it, despite most of us living under democratically representative governments.
Overall, this suggests that farmed salmon loses some nutrients compared to the wild fish it eats and that we're better off eating a more varied diet of the wild fish species that are fed to farmed salmon, such as sardines, mackerel, and anchovies.
I am dealing with brand-new-to-me gut problems this year (I'm overall a fairly fit and healthy guy) and I now completely understand why people seek all kinds of zany alternative pseudoscientific treatments: we have next to no idea what we're doing when it comes to gut health and wellness, and the personal impact can be enormous. I am fortunately able to continue working, but many or most people are not so fortunate and truly struggle, and financial and personal difficulties can hit fast and hard when you can't function the way you need to. So many people in the United States are desperate and have so few options. Our health and employment problems in this country are not just a tragedy but a crisis that has been growing for many years.

Nvidia is too big. China could not easily get away with spinning complete rip offs that even support CUDA without poking a hole in their hull. Nvidia is working very hard to placate China. If China does go down this route, it'll be for China-only for a considerable time. Nvidia can afford to placate China and avoid that scenario, should their economics continue to trend upwards, practically forever.

Let's not use euphemisms. You're encouraging a certain racial and identity makeup of a city. It's literally the same policies that led to ghettoization. I don't want (often unelected) bureaucrats to put their finger on the scale on who can live in an area. It's not wrong because it was used to exclude [group] from certain areas, it's wrong on principle. And if we allow that power to the state, there's no reason it won't be used by someone with ideals that don't align with yours
The issue you're having is not understanding how it can be.

The lucky truth is that this is not some hypothetical situation, it's a lived reality for me and many more people in Europe.

I'm 34 and I don't even have a drivers license; that's freedom. I never needed one.

That said: I'm not really talking about an absolute reality (IE; no cars at all). Reducing car usage actually helps those that really need to use a car, like the disabled, the elderly, people hauling large things (such as when they move homes) etc;

Groceries aren't far more expensive, but the inner city stores are, on average 5% more expensive than larger stores of the same brand. 5% on your groceries is vastly under the tax burden of maintaining huge roads, the accidents they cause (which has a healthcare burden) and even disregarding that: fuel cost and mileage on your vehicle (which increases insurance rates and decreases the longevity of your car).
You can usually circumvent that by right clicking (or control clicking) and pressing open. There will now be a button that says “open anyway”.
And probably they'd been at least thinking about that since the early 2000s to have it ready by then. But the claim is that they were thinking about it since their beginning in 1993, and that's the part that just seems hard to believe.
