Not to point out the obvious, but this works both ways.

For example, it would place the organisers of Charlotsville in a similar predicament, except that it's not in one of the states mentioned.

Also, to be clear, they haven't said he -is- liable, just that the case can proceed. It still has to be evaluated on merit. (at least at the lower court level.)

Underlying all of this is the root issue that all to often protests, on both sides of the spectrum, contain violence and property destruction. All too often without any consequences.

Does this create a chilling effect on protests? Absolutely. Will it mean more accountability for violence and destruction? Possibly. Would this encourage organisers to emphasise to followers the importance of -peaceful- protest? Maybe. (Will it incentivize false-flag activities? Probably.)

I lean on the side of this being "bad" overall, but its a very nuanced issue.
It was great seeing this in person at MGC this year. Every year the Bitbuilt guys seem to somehow make the Wii smaller and smaller. It's insanity.

No -- as another commenter pointed out, max-cut is (almost certainly) a much harder problem.

Specifically, there are algorithms that guarantee to solve every min-cut problem instance in time polynomial in the size of the problem (CS theorists call such algorithms "efficient"), while max-cut is an NP-complete problem. All NP-complete problems are "as hard as each other", and while no one has yet proven that they all take exponential time to solve, the brightest minds in CS have been searching for a faster algorithm for 40 years without success so far. Most people take that lack of progress as evidence that these problems really are hard.

The most famous NP-complete problem is probably the Travelling Salesman Problem. Another interesting one (because it seems like it "shouldn't be that hard") is Partition: Given a set of integers, can you partition them into two halves with equal sum?

It begs the question though, doesn't it...? Embeddings require a neural network or some reasonable facsimile to produce the embedding in the first place. Compression to a vector (a semantic space of some sort) still needs to happen – and that's the crux of the understanding/meaning. To just say "embeddings are cool let's use them" is ignoring the core problem of semantics/meaning/information-in-context etc. Knowing where an embedding came from is pretty damn important.

Embeddings live a very biased existence. They are the product of a network (or some algorithm) that was trained (or built) with specific data (and/or code) and assume particular biases intrinsically (network structure/algorithm) or extrinsically (e.g., data used to train a network) which they impose on the translation of data into some n-dimensional space. Any engineered solution always lives with such limitations, but with the advent of more and more sophisticated methods for the generation of them, I feel like it's becoming more about the result than the process. This strikes me as problematic on a global scale... might be fine for local problems but could be not-so-great in an ever changing world.
That was mentioned in the article.

> Timbre is even more crucial in contemporary genres such as electronic dance music and rap. EDM, said Swoger-Ruston, is really “experimentation with timbre.” The widespread use of sampling means the sample, not the note, is increasingly the basic unit of music.

> There's some useful insight here even if the percents are wrong. Whatever the numbers, even if 10% are Marias, they're still an untapped resource, if not "the biggest". And the fact that some of us have been this person proves the percentage is not zero.

All very fair and good points.

The author does make a strong claim, though, and I'm asking if there's evidence to back it up.

I probably wouldn't if they'd written "Some people are underused by their companies because they're Marias," which is a much smaller claim but still a perfectly fine basis for moving on to a discussion of how to get more value from those employees.

> Feels like you found a small inaccuracy in the text, and jumped up "Aha! Everything you said is wrong!". Also an appealing narrative.

Would you show me where you see this? I reread what I wrote and I'm not finding that, but maybe I'm just missing it.
When I see aid trucks being attacked by the army but also by protestors while the UN declares millions of people at risk of starvation, I know we are past a “hot war”.
There is an appropriate time and place for protests, but apparently these protesters weren't able to figure that out.
Unfortunately in web programming, an inordinate amount of time is spent on concentrating on the rendering side, messing around with the CSS/CSS framework, because thats what people see, and less on understanding state flow or the backend data model. That on top of deadlines, and have a recipe for disaster. It actually took me, a seasoned programmer with 15+ years professional experience, a few weeks to understand React one-way data binding to the degree that my UI did not have severe bugs.

But when you do have a nice component hierarchy, reasonable CSS and proper data flow mechanisms, its quite nice what it can accomplish, that would not almost unfathomable with Vanilla JS.

Cool, since gaming is not important they are going to charge 200$/month for it. How do you feel now?

Because that's what's happening with datacaps, they are charging hundreds of dollars per month because there is no unlimited data on gigabit connections.

Lawyer here! (Not your lawyer, blah blah blah.)

The issue in this case isn't whether Mr. McKesson is actually liable for the conduct that injured the police officer. It's whether or not the police officer even has a valid claim that Mr. McKesson could be liable if all the facts claimed are true, which is very much in dispute. The actual facts of the case haven't even been established yet.

This is a case about what we call a standard Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss. First-year law school stuff.

I don't think it's worth reading too much into this case. Yeah, it's the Fifth Circuit, which is packed with idiot judges hand-picked by the Federalist Society. But as to its importance in the grand scheme of things, the "truthout" website is making a mountain out of molehill IMO. As ideologically extreme publications do.

Another commenter pointed at the Scotus blog which I think is a far fairer (if much drier) report.

Doing that is part of the plan for the switch to renewables, and people are actively working on it. A friend of mine at Siemens energy for example is involved in such projects.
I doubt you're ever seeing a single layer from a pencil.

"Although graphene is probably produced every time one
uses a pencil, it is extremely difficult to find small graphene
crystallites in the “haystack” of millions of thicker graphitic
flakes which appear during the cleavage. In fact, no modern
visualization technique including atomic-force, scanning-
tunneling, and electron microscopies is capable of finding
graphene because of their extremely low throughput at the
required atomic resolution or the absence of clear signatures
distinguishing atomic monolayers from thicker flakes." -- Making Graphene Visible https://www.physics.purdue.edu/quantum/files/CarbonNano/make..., which shows it can be made visible by preparing it on an appropriate substrate.

>My mind is craving ... seriously legitimate academic right wing thought leadership to expand and challenge my thinking about the world. I honestly don’t know where to find it.

No offense, but I just don't see how I can believe you, to believe any statement like this in this technological era. When I felt the same way when I started becoming politically active in my teenage years two decades ago, I went to this cool not-actually-new thing called an internet search engine, looked up right-(and left)-wing thought leaders/authors, think tanks, columnists/commentators, university researchers and etc. These people, just like all other political persuasions of public intellectual, have made website pages, books, papers and journals, conferences and expos, broadcasts of roundtables and interviews, and introductory infotainment pieces specifically for people like you, all in every format and length you can imagine.

All of this at least hundreds of hours of content put together over time is either directly accessible online for free or as easily purchasable as any other product on the web today. If it is true that your teeth are falling out because of low vitamin c, it's because you keep trading the orange in your rations for more hardtack. They're not any more difficult to get than whatever else you're reading right now, you just choose to put something else into your url/search field whenever you are in the mood to read. Right-wing intellectuals even happen to have terms for this phenomenon: "Stated preference" and "revealed preference". You state that you'd prefer to read a balance of political media, but someone observing you would reveal you only ever put the thirty seconds of effort it takes to open media on your computer into material that echoes what you've already read in the past. They point out that, as someone with a stated preference is observed over and over to act differently than it, the odds that the stated preference is a better description of their general mentality due to experimental variation than the preference that seems to be revealed by the observation approaches zero.

If you ever change this preference, though, the mentioned thirty seconds of googling got me these pages of Wikipedia's articles on ideology and activism groups in the united states (where I live, since I don't know where you do) categotized by general philosophy [1] [2]. Whenever I want to know what some corner of the political landscape thinks about current events, I follow some of these articles to their orgs' home page and read their recent materials.

As a longtime observer of the scene, no. Creating the smallest board possible while maintaining original game compatibility are about the only metrics to stick to. Usually this boils down to keeping the CPU, GPU, NAND (if exists like the Wii), and most times the RAM.

There are some nuts people out there like Redherring32 with his TinyTendo project that go above and beyond just putting the components on a new board. He designed the TinyTendo which requires cutting down the DIP-packaged CPU and PPU from the NES into a smaller package. These components were only produced for Nintendo systems of the era and are the special sauce for overall game compatiblity.

As far as I know, friendly fire and collateral damage are a reality in all hot wars, especially in situations such as this one where one side attempts to blend in with civilians, so I don't see how this is different. The good and bad of the Internet is that in the sea of information you can pick and choose your truth. Was Israel's killing of aid workers intentional or was it collateral damage? All I know is that Hamas was shown cooking up numbers and lying systematically and that's the side everyone believes for some reason. When their lies are exposed they are simply replaced with more or with some disproportionate criticism of errors committed by the IDF.

No, iridium is definitely transmit-before-receive.

The only thing you can receive without transmitting is a one-bit "message waiting" indicator, so you don't waste uplink bandwidth polling the satellite unless there's something there for you. Basically the satellite broadcasts a list of terminals that have messages waiting for them. I recall there being some kind of bloom filter, so technically it's less than one bit.

You can't get anything else downstream unless you transmit first to ask for it. Also the only way to clear the "message waiting" bit is by transmitting to the satellite, so you can't even try to encode a message by flipping that bit on and off.
>I don't think it is

Don't you remember the absolute furor when Nancy Pelosi was found out getting haircuts at her stylist and BoJo was off partying with his mates in the middle of the covid lockdowns, demanding/mandating everyone to stay home? The latter ultimately got fired for it.

You as a politician aren't going to convince anyone to buy 100% EV unless you do it first.

Scrap all your executive jets (and no flying at all for that matter), replace all your fueled ground vehicles with electric, handle as much if not all your politicking and diplomatizing remotely over the phone or internet (no more metropolitan dinner parties). Then we can talk about the commons also sacrificing likewise.

Incidentally, not leading by example (or Eating Your Own Dogfood) is one of the biggest reasons why politician is such a hated occupation.
Nice! I've wanted to build something like this for a long time. It requires good faith argument construction from both parties, but it's useful to make the possibility available when you do find the small segment of people who can do that.
I quite prefer the transactional approach. Precisely why i detest these “team building”, “we are a family”, CSR etc moves. Lets just be pro?
Exactly not me I like food too much. I would just not eat pizza as opposed to eating some trash that pretends to be Pizza.

That being said most of the time dietary changes fail isn't because the suggested diet doesn't work it's because the people are just unwilling to follow it.

That's also no reason to not take a multi-pronged approach of recommending dietary changes and pharmaceutical interventions.

In my experience, colleges (at least those that are not-for-profit) don’t actively try to convince you to attend their campus. The expectation or pressure to attend generally comes from their family, friends, and school community.

If a reputable college really wants a student to attend, their financial aid office will generally find a way to lower your costs. Or else they will deny your application, or at best load you up with ugly Parent PLUS loans.
'In a memo sent to all employees on Wednesday, Chris Rackow, Google’s head of global security, said that “behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it.” You can read the full memo at the bottom of this story.'

The memo makes it clear that Google fired the employees for rule and policy violations:

"They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers. Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made coworkers feel threatened."

Would they have been fired for protesting less aggressively?

I would presume and assume google obeys the robots.txt mandate as well.

But I would agree it's a very outstanding and real problem that is YC-worthy - sharing structured webpage data with trusted partners in a generic and efficient way. I've heard about various AI companies that perform such data scraping and structuring with AI, forget the name - this is many notches in sophistication above a Selenium-headless type driver.

Hard disagree.

Great project and excellent initiative to learn about embeddings.
Two possible avenues to explore more.
Your system backend could be thought of as being composed of two parts:
|Icons->Embedder->|PGVector|->Retriever->Display Result|

1. In the embedder part trying out different embedding models and/or vector dimensions to explore if the Recall@K & Precision@K for your data set (icons) improves. Models make a surprising amount of difference to the quality of the results. Try the MTEB Leaderboard for ideas on which models to explore.

2. In the Information Retriever part you can try a couple of approaches:
a.after you retrieve from PGVector see if you can use a reranker like Cohere to get better results https://cohere.com/blog/rerank

b.You could try a "fusion ranking" similar to the one you do but structured such that 50% of the weight is for a plain old keyword search in the metadata and 50% is for the embedding based search

Finally something more interesting to noodle on - what if the embeddings were based on the icon images and the model knew how to search for a textual descriptions in the latent space?
Key differences vs GPD Win are much higher reliability (HP 200LX is dependable and still working past its 32-year anniversary), instant-on, maintains a steady computing speed (GPD chokes to a crawl quickly when its CPU spins up) and great battery convenience (lasts a long time and changing double A's is easy vs needing to charge a few hours). Of course, the GPD runs full-on modern OS's though

The new video might help you see it.

It is a bit funny though, the company renowned for walking robots posts a video of a robot walking and many people just can't believe it.

To me it was way more surprising that they got walking (and more) working with hydraulics, a much more unwieldy and heavy technology than servos and batteries. This is obviously more refined but perhaps to me, a little less surprising and so definitely believable.
I'm skeptical that the consensus among employees is that Google should abandon this project and make less money.

I am part of a union where a few people showed up to a meeting to endorse a resolution on IP. The resolution passed at the meeting, and they then set an email message to the rest of the union (thousands of people) saying they wanted to hear from more people than just those that could show up on the weeknight meeting. Presumably the resolution failed because I never heard about it again.

The union made no message of any kind on the issue, which is good by me since I do not work for a company that has any business making international political endorsements.

I have no idea what the polling would be if you asked all Google employees, but it doesn't mean much to me that 28 people out of 25,000 in SF have this opinion.
