A lot of my thoughts are dependent on geographical location, culture, etc.

> "Mansplaining" reads as the most superficial dismissal of somebody's opinion, as it instantly disregards a person's whole argument based on a birth trait. It's not any more noble or justified than brushing aside somebody's opinion as being done by a "hysterical woman", a term that is thankfully relegated to the past.

Mansplaining is less about "birth traits" and more about socialization. A lot of women experience it. That being said, I'm sure people misuse it as a killerphrase. Side note: the "hysterical woman" idea is prevalent where I live. This may be one of the reasons that women's pain is often neglected or not taken seriously by clinical staff[1].

> people online have criticized me for attending a Japanese festival with my family.

Whoever said that is being overzealous: cultural appreciation is not the same as appropriation, plus cultural festivals are usually about sharing cultures. But on your part, it's online. Why let that into your life?

> I have felt far more social discrimination for being male than I have ever received for being queer, disabled, or an immigrant. And it's not just that being male means you are explicitly forbidden from some groups/activities, it's also that the same people that act deeply indignant at other forms of racism and sexism quickly turn into gatekeepers that openly and proudly discriminate against men.

I'm sorry you've experienced that. I can understand "women's only" activities, e.g. yoga classes or career events. TBH, my local yoga studio also offers a men's only course. In my experience women's only activities/group are about helping women gain their confidence, esp. when they are a minority in a larger group. Perhaps those were the motivations behind the women's cycling webinar?

Analogously, I think groups for men working in jobs typically associated with women, e.g. child-care are also important.

Not entirely sure what you're looking for.

If you don't want to use the "artificial, unintuitive interface" (bit rude IMO) you could just google "best mario kart setup".

The selection of attributes is not exactly arbitrary. AFAIK speed has always been by far the dominant stat in mario kart, then acceleration. Choosing e.g. better handling at the expense of speed is an immediate disadvantage. If your problem is that this doesn't help you to choose atteibutes in the general case, take it up with the chaos of the natural world...

This article solves a problem people have (not knowing what setup to pick) in a very stylish way (subjective) and teaches the reader something along the way (what a Pareto frontier is).

Not a particularly constructive comment if you ask me.
>At lower levels of alcohol consumption, it brings improvements in social life whose health benefits outweigh the health costs of consumption

Patently false, as we know today that the level of alcohol consumption that's best for you is ZERO.
Thank you — though it still feels like an insult, I will accept this was not intentional. (I bet I do the same at times).

Unfortunately I remain un-illuminated.

To me, an analogy must not be identical to the thing it is compared with: something identical would still be "an example", but an analogy is always specifically in the subset of examples which are different in some substantial way.

I can only think to give further examples of analogies which I think would be apt, and ask which would you accept as an analogy in this case, which would you refuse, and why?

Supermarkets: each brand controls what is sold within itself. This control doesn't matter, because we have multiple brands. It would matter if we didn't have multiple brands.

States within a federal nation: each regional government controls the laws within itself. Moving between them is straightforward, but not zero-cost. People care a bit, but they have to be pushing quite hard on the national Overton Window to get censured from above.

Transport options in specific geographic regions: Let's say you have the option of a car, a bus, walking, or cycling. The bus is mandatory for some people (disabilities, OAPs, school kids), so let's say those groups get free passes. Given everyone else (by construction) doesn't need the bus, in this scenario does it matter what price the tickets are or that the routes are fixed and limited?

>where LLMs merely extract the entities and relations and the actual logic is done by a logical engine such as Prolog.

Graph RAG is an emerging design pattern where factual information is retrieved from knowledge graphs to augment the textual information retrieved from document stores in classic RAG before submitting to an LLM. What you are proposing is essentially using the LLM to build the knowledge graph in the first place. Would be interesting to see the two techniques combined along with some sort of planner/optimizer in the middle.
The problem is that Prolog is already "AI" as in expert system GOFAI - that approach already failed, so you shouldn't believe people claiming that an entirely different connectionist approach is going to prove that their failed alternative worked all along.
This is of course false.

When buying a bike, I kind of used this method by looking at the cost-vs-spec-level plot on 99Spokes. Although it should be taken with a grain of salt, as spec level is a heuristic and not always very accurate. Found a nice MTB for a good price that way, but struggled with other types of bicycles.

There are some problems and differences that you're ignoring.

The goal of previous terror groups wasn't extermination. In fact their goals were largely in alignment with Western morality. Targets included key infrastructure, not specifically civilians. This is similar to Western military efforts.

The US hasn't needed to do much propaganda, Hamas has made themselves intolerable in Western society by beheading children, recording it, and disseminating it, among other similar media interaction. Their goal is to alienate Islam in order to preserve it in the face of westernization. They don't want Palestinians to be accepted in Western society.

Given the historical dissimilarity, why would any Western government believe that Hamas would suddenly gain Western idealism within the confines of a Western democracy?

I don't see any reason that we should, especially when relying on the historical accounts you've provided.
Ask HN: I want to put free WiFi in schools in my city, how do I go about it?
I want to put Wifi in the schools. I wanted to know the technical and equipment requirements and the best way to approach it. I am considering 2 approaches.

1) Standalone for each school
This is perhaps the simpler approach, just put a one strong setup at every school. I would need a splash login page where the student would log in with their student ID and password. The average enrollment at the schools is about 1k, and the area of each school is about a 500 meter radius.

2) Citywide approach
With this one, the major difference is that the students will be able to login at any school in the city, similar to the edu network in the US

What sort of infrastructure would i need for one school with reliable strength? Any recommendations for actual equipment? What is the price estimate/range for one school in the first approach? Are there any companies that already exist that offer this solution including the login stuff as well?

What would be the extra requirements to go from standalone setups to the citywide approach?
That wouldn't work unless they manage to burn off your finger prints too.
French people seem evidence against that.
My objection wasn't the controversy - it was the lack of substance and focus. I wouldn't even call it particularly controversial. It's the same broad, general complaining you hear an awful lot around these parts.

Perfect Streisand effect.
Plus, at -O1 and up, gcc optimizes this away, so the check itself is not well-defined as necessary.

Does it always make sense to strictly enforce code that will be optimized/changed during compilation? Or does Xr0 run after compilation/linking?

How to handle things like unions where you want data in a nice mixed-type struct that is used locally and can also be sent as a stream of uint8_t over a wireless connection? Then, the last function that needs to use the memory frees it. Or is that still fine as long as you malloc once somewhere, free once somewhere, and annotate that the memory region will be accessed as more than one dereferenced type?

Much more important: Will the proposed changes be understandable enough for your average CS undergrad to learn in four months of halfway diligent study? (Then again, you might do away with students taking time to debug improper malloc/free and whatever else falls under the scope of Xr0...)

ffmpeg is, mainly, a bunch of libraries. libavcodec, libavformat, libswresample, etc, is almost all of ffmpeg. If a project is using those libraries, it's using ffmpeg.

The ffmpeg command line utility is "just" an interface to those libraries.

DeepMind: Mixture-of-Depths: Dynamically allocating compute in transformers
Abstract

Transformer-based language models spread FLOPs uniformly across input sequences. In this work we demonstrate that transformers can instead learn to dynamically allocate FLOPs (or compute) to specific positions in a sequence, optimising the allocation along the sequence for different layers across the model depth. Our method enforces a total compute budget by capping the number of tokens (k) that can participate in the self-attention and MLP computations at a given layer. The tokens to be processed are determined by the network using a top-k routing mechanism. Since k is defined a priori, this simple procedure uses a static computation graph with known tensor sizes, unlike other conditional computation techniques. Nevertheless, since the identities of the k tokens are fluid, this method can expend FLOPs non-uniformly across the time and model depth dimensions. Thus, compute expenditure is entirely predictable in sum total, but dynamic and context-sensitive at the token-level. Not only do models trained in this way learn to dynamically allocate compute, they do so efficiently. These models match baseline performance for equivalent FLOPS and wall-clock times to train, but require a fraction of the FLOPs per forward pass, and can be upwards of 50\% faster to step during post-training sampling.

Has their been a large scale alcohol effect study that exploits the fact that some religions (particularly Islam, Judaism) don't tend to consume alcohol?

It will probably need to be delicately applied since religion correlates with many other socioeconomic/genetic conditions, but I think showing that certain cancers are not as common in for example Indonesia and Turkey as compared to Australia and Greece would be an interesting hypothesis concerning the impact of alcohol.

That's the current WHO position apparently, but it's only motivated by lack of evidence of a threshold below which alcohol is safe. I find that approach actually harmful, as it creates an impression that there's little difference depending on the amount consumed, when in reality it's the amount that makes ALL the difference.

> The typical way to do schema migration is to compose a list of ALTER TABLE statements. This becomes hard to track the latest schema state as the migration accumulates. It's more intuitive for the developers to specify the desired state. Ideally, PostgreSQL could allow developers to specify the desired CREATE TABLE schema, the engine then reconcile it with the latest schema, figure out the diff, and plan the migration path internally.

This is a terrible idea. The behaviour of engines that do this is unpredictable and suddenly you lose data because the engine deleted a column.

Stackless coroutines are useful in domains where stackful coroutines are simply not an option. Not every application runs on a server. There are tradeoffs associates with stackless coroutines, but I don't think it's questionable whether it was the right choice for a language like c++. If you want stackful coroutines, there are likely better suited languages for your domain that are not c++.
They were initally proposed by Microsoft, based on the way C# coroutines work on top of async/await, and the asynchrounous runtime used in .NET Native and C++/CX for WinRT.
