It seems obvious to me that anyone supportive of psychedelic treatment should be supportive of this kind of investigation. It does no one any good to suppress or ignore stories of negative experiences with psychedelics. On the contrary, research like this can help develop better screening protocols or follow up treatment to help minimize these effects, or even treat people who are suffering long term negative impact from a difficult trip.
Does it need to be the best? Or would good enough be good enough? What suits you best might not suit someone else at all. On the other hand, there are are many CS courses archived on Youtube and tons of old textbooks in circulation.

And of course, you can always buy a boxed set of TAoCP. It will probably keep you busy for awhile. Good luck.
> If one believes patent filings are correlated with innovation

This is exactly the claim I'm taking issue with. The OP implied that the legal definition of innovation was "patents filed" and implied that this is somehow meaningful, and I'm saying that the absence of patents is not evidence of a lack of innovation.
Actually the demonstrators are worried because of the antisemitism that the actions of the Israeli government incite:

> "Our Judaism cannot be protected by the rampaging military of that ethno-state, for all that military does is sow sorrow and reap hatred, including hatred against us as Jews."
I don't think it's really being "generous" with their competitors business value. Meta has a track record of open sourcing the "infrastructure" bits behind their core products. They have released many, many things like React/React Native, GraphQL, Casandra (database), Open Compute Project (server / router designs), HHVM and dozens of other projects long before their recent AI push. Have a look here, I spent five minutes scrolling and got 1/4 of the way through! https://opensource.fb.com/projects/

With Llama, they now have an army of people hacking on the llama architecture, so even if they don't explicitly use any of llama-adjacent projects, there are tons and tons of optimizations and other techniques being discovered. Just making up numbers, but if they spend x billions on interference per year and the open source community comes up with a way to make inference even just a few more percent efficient, the costs of their open source efforts might be a drop in comparison.

For example, Zuck was on the Dwarkesh podcast recently and mentioned that open sourcing OCP (server/rack design) has saved them billions because the industry standardized their designs, driving down the price for them.
That seems a bit too conspiracy theorist, especially considering most people have 3rd party cookies on and teams has been around for a long time now (I assume before Google announced removing 3rd party cookies)

I think the answer is more banal in that some of their oauth flow runs in a different domain from the main application. I think this is tied to wanting to reuse part of oauth flow in the desktop application.
I wonder if that's due to marketshare. Chrome is so dominant, maybe it's the only browser that really matters these days?

No, just that they shouldn't be showered with praise for doing what is in their best interests - commoditizing their complement.

For the same reason Microsoft doesn't deserve credit for going all in on linux/open source when they did. They were doing it to stave off irrelevance that came from being out-competed by open source.

They were not doing it because they had a sudden "come to jesus" moment about how great open source was.

In both cases, it was a business decision being marketed as an ideological decision.

Dear Internet user, third party cookies are also used be embedded web applications in services such as salesforce. Cookies are not only used for tracking, but also as an example, secure session allowing the bank to secure your login and also the person on the phone when call in helping you via their login. There are decades worth of applications created that likely will not be fixed…

Snowflake Arctic: LLM for Enterprise AI — Efficiently Intelligent, Truly Open
K-anonymity is where you determine that you need at least K individuals in a group with a certain number of shared personal information such that you can't identify individuals within that group. For example, people >2m tall with January birthdays who's favorite color is red. If there was only one person in that group then you could identify them, so you shouldn't use that grouping. But if there are 1000 people in that group (in your dataset), then you can't ID them, so it's okay.
If my understanding is correct, ESPHome need to be re-compiled and uploaded every time the config yaml is changed. Is it possible to separate the binary and the config so that for some config changes, there is no need to re-compile and upload the binary? Thanks.
“Shorter wavelength execution” is the kind of twaddle only someone that far from actually building things could spout. Contemptible!
Just a few examples:

- Paradigms Lost by John Simon. A lot of these older cultural/writing commentary books don't seem to be digitized, but are absolutely worth reading

- Some older tourism books. For example, I have a little pamphlet book on visiting Yugoslavia, written in Polish.

- Unique/interesting formats. For example, I have a book of "useful words for dealing with capitalists and their markets" that was written in German during the DDR. It has about 2,000 words written side-by-side in 8 languages, including English, German, French, Czech, and some others.

- Older magazines, especially fashion magazines. Very hard to get a hold of or find online.

We have the largest rail system of any country (USA 220k km vs EU 200k km). If you include the connections we use with Mexico and Canada it’s even larger. It’s almost all entirely freight. Trains can be 2000m long compared to 700m in the EU. It’s all built for freight.
You're asking for studies that show the effects of microplastics in humans. How do you think that gets established? Not all at once. This isn't scaremongering, it is how science happens, part of the pathway to establishing what those effects are. Knowing where microplastics can migrate through mammalian tissues is clearly relevant to your own stated end goal.
Correct, linear algebra and linear programming are two very distinct things. The latter is a widely-used optimization technique, and computationally depends on the former, which is a general mathematical framework for essentially all numerical computing.
Where's the irony in it being discovered by a MS employee? As far as I know he was working on a personal project and decided to debug why SSH logins were taking longer than expected, and found the backdoor.

> "Open Source" may help find bugs but it can just as easily help exploit them --- or as in this case, intentionally create and plant them.

I don't get this stance. Saying the true nature of open source is also its weakness is an ad hominem IMO, usually spat out from people that dislike the open source ideology. What's the solution? Developing stuff at walled gardens and praying to god that the maintainers will be beneficent enough to report a security breach? We've seen how that works out, companies take a year or so to report a breach after the damage was done.

> The fact that this possibility has been routinely dismissed for years doesn't make it any less of a real security threat. This is kinda like assuming that blockchain can prevent crypto fraud.

It wasn't dismissed, it was just simply proven by experience that this is just FUD to undermine open source. And even if it is true, the good things coming out of OS ideology are much greater than the possible bad things.

Let me give you an example of why this is FUD. ClamAV is an open source malware analysis tool and yet, it's being constantly updated with new malware signatures. The fact of it being open source did nothing to sever its ability of detecting malware.
> And the full irony of this potentially catastrophic backdoor being discovered by a Microsoft employee still seems to be largely lost on the Open Source community.

I'm not sure things can be lost on a community. Aren't Microsoft part of that community?
Apple doesn’t make much hardware in the USA anymore, so you have to count the software and hardware IP from the actually hardware/finished product, so accounting what percent of value for an iPhone is generated in China/other countries vs the USA. For Boeing it’s slightly easier, but they also have an international supply chain.
For entry-level programmers making the transition to Java, those deep semantics like "all methods virtual" didn't matter, nor did the lack of features like operator and method overloading or templates. They didn't really need those to build stuff.

The killer "like C++" feature that made adoption easy was the "C/C++ like syntax, with braces and everything".
The problem is the space for the tracks running to the station, not the space for the station itself. Taking enough land by eminent domain to run tracks to downtown (or anywhere else dense) is prohibitively costly. And digging tunnels is even more expensive.

I understood the theory to not be about performance but about creativity and flexibility. So a team will be more creative but less coherent with more diversity. Literally it means that a more diverse team is going to be less similar between itself. Coherence and stability is opposed to creativity and diversity. Also teams that are most similar to each other and are not flexible and who change little tend to be happier and stable.

It does explain some pushback against diversity because it will cause at least some change and increase working instability at least a little bit within a team. Managers of teams should be able to manage change effectively because people generally do not like change.

But the change isn't for performance. It's changing for change.
I'd prefer if we used sideloading for the appstore / playstore. The main location is the website of the developer and the mobile store is a side channel.

How about they just make the laptop available to the other 75% of the world's population?

When they launched three years ago I was super excited and told everyone about them, I really believed in what they were doing. Granted it wasn't available in my country but surely they'd work on that right?

Three years later, not only have they failed to expand their geography meaningfully, but they've been utterly silent on the topic, there's no roadmap or sign of interest from them, and they go as far as to delete posts on their forums about forwarding laptops to unsupported countries.

They just don't care about the rest of the world it seems.

It's hard to not become bitter as the years march on. We will never have Framework where I live, it seems. Guess I'm being petty but I'm slipping into the "fuck this company" camp.
Why don't they just unilaterally disable third-party cookies by default without providing any replacement? The only slightly valuable functionality that would be lost would be authentication in comment widgets like Disqus.

Ah, right, the makers of the world's most popular web browser are also the world's most profitable online advertising company, that's why.
amount of people who can do stuff that is considered "intellectual"?

It is not different from happened with guns - with introduction of guns, military has grown bigger not smaller - in comparison to knight era.

Now you will have more people who will be able to produce art, write music, songs, develop games, write stories and so on. People will be able to produce scenes without months or years of learning how to use photoshop, after effects and co. We now have more painters than in da vinci era and we have more musicians than in bach era.

Same with software engineering - ability to do stuff easier will produce more people doing that. Not less. We do not code to the metal much anymore - most of the software engineers do not use assembly anymore and higher level languages simplified stuff that required hard learning in the past - yet the amount of developers is more than ever.

Or just test one new prediction made by the selected model, which isn't accounted for by existing physics.

Edit: to clarify, I agree that it is important to avoid picking a model which happens to fit noise in existing data, which would be P-hacking. But I think this problem doesn't exist if you pick a model, predict something novel, and then go test that prediction. I could be mistaken.

I believe this is because the yaml is in fact the instructions for what to include in the binary. It wouldn't be feasible for the firmware to include all possible device and peripheral code and enable parts at run time.

I think you can see the esphome intermediate code generation in the file tree during compilation and see how the yaml sections map to blocks of C/C++ code being built.

Ad hominem is criticising the person making the argument, rather than the argument itself. This seems to be not that.

Akalabeth: Porting from AppleSoft Basic to Gwbasic
That is debatable. The PC clone business made the IBM PC the industry “standard”, since it opened up the supplier list to many companies. IBM alone (eg. PS2 and OS/2) as a sole manufacturer did not manage to conquer the world. And MS had the insight to offer DOS to everyone. MS really won because they were cheaper than alternatives (eg Berkeley GeOS, CP/M, Unix) until critical mass was established. Even if FreeBSD was available in mid 80’s, it would have become the “standard” today. Cheap and good enough always wins the day. Proprietary and expensive makes you 2nd best.
This, too, though I imagine most people learned to endure garbage UI. But seriously, Netflix with its minimally functional, feature-less UI is the golden standard of streaming services. It seems that the bigger the company behind the service, the worse it gets. Like, you could hardly find a porn site with worse players than Disney+, and the thing is less snappy than a pirate streaming service with a cryptominer running in the background.

I sometimes wonder how it's even possible to do such a bad job - even modern web software isn't that unperformant by default, someone had to put in extra work to make it this bad.

The first thing to come to peace with is that no matter which ball you choose to let fall, it's gonna piss off someone and that someone is going to be very certain and very much in your face about the fact that from their point of view, you did the wrong thing. Get used to people telling you you're wrong.
My dad's a doctor and the amount of paperwork you need to write these days has gone up a whole bunch, even higher for him then the 40% of time mentioned in the article. There's a big temptation to fudge on the reports too, since it's mostly checkmarking to cya for lawsuits. Thus ,I think this is actually one area where because the people writing the report are someone misaligned with the purpose of the report, ML powered report writing is a better solution.
Ah, that would do it!
The main thing that keeps me from using AI for things like document summaries is that it regularly trips up on the nuances in logic – mistaking positives and negatives when multiple points are being discussed, misattribution of motivation, etc. I can't think of a much worse thing for this to be used for than police reports.

You could say that because the bodycam footage still exists it won't be a problem, but the point of these reports is for decisions to be made based on them without needing to review the full footage. People are going to get dragged through court based on this, and if they're lucky, come out with thousands spent in legal bills to get someone to just review the bodycam footage where they said the opposite to the report.
Scary that activists rather go after that company than the issue of police being incapable of responding without without shooting people. The company is crummy, but its not even close to being the actual problem. Guess its a low hanging fruit, compared to the police culture.
Even without that, Bill Gates would have created something --- Microsoft did a _lot_ of custom development, e.g., the Tandy-Radio Shack Model 100 (which was the last bit of coding which B.G. did for production) and developed and licensed a lot of other products.

He also made his share of deals which took a lot of value away from other companies on his own:

In my experience, teams that work best consist of members who a) have a lot in common in terms of upbringing, education, sense of humor(!) etc., and b) do not/are not forced to compete among themselves too much, which correlates with a). It does help to have one or two outliers though.
Ok but surely creativity and flexibility should contribute to performance in the long term otherwise what is the benefit?

The line between Kiruna and Narvik is so beautiful I’m not sure why you’d want it to go faster. The speed is heavily dictated by the number of tunnels and turns due to mountainous terrain. It couldn’t be much faster without very expensive kilometer long tunnels.

Population density in North Sweden and Norway is low enough that a few times a day is probably sufficient for most local travel. I haven’t been during peak tourist seasons when that number of trains might not be enough.

A fun fact is that since the ore trains travel mostly downhill, braking generates enough electricity that the ore empty trains can return to Kiruna effectively energy free.
