You don't like it as a company, not a problem just don't incorporate in the US and live with the repercussion.

There is nothing that suggests that it is out of the ordinary or malicious.

Where it becomes interesting is access without a warrant, or with a muzzle attached, at large scale. That is the clandestine stuff. The purview of intelligence agencies.

That has been addressed by the EU with legislation; privacy shield was not really the hit, but guess what: MS complied. https://www.reuters.com/technology/microsoft-roll-out-data-b... so spooks from the US will now have a harder time accessing user data at scale without a warrant.

That's not correct though. Charity is a valid thing.

Expectations-based giving should honestly always be frowned upon. Once you give something up it's no longer in your control. If somebody has a problem with that, it's actually them that's the problem.

I think a lot of folks don't think through the licenses they choose before they use them. They never really thought about if they'd be mad if somebody else commercialized their code. You give up that right when you chose that license but that's okay. Licensing is a choice.

You're also free to use AGPL if you want or even go proprietary -- but don't blame open source licenses if you chose them by mistake.
Sure, which is why high-level languages manage the stack pointer for you. You can get a long way with pure functional recursion before you have to worry about annoying details, like tail calls and stack sizes.
Yes that's the definition of winning. Impact is pretty broad. Lots of people are positively impacted by AI: their lives get easier. Others see their livelihoods imperilled. Believe me, I know.

But that isn't the X-Risk that people like Scott are talking about. They think AI is physically dangerous, that the Matrix scenario could happen for real. It's not about jobs in this case.
May I ask you your age? I would be interested to see how many people younger than you agree with your sentiment. And compare to those older.
While this is definitely a possible explanation, I would hesitate to jump to any particular conclusions until further research is done on specific risk factors. The article also mentions air pollution as a possible cause:

>For example, a 2019 study found that Asian Americans breathe in 73% more tiny pollution particles than white Americans, most likely because of greater exposure to construction, industry and vehicle emissions where they live.

As you mention, there is some preliminary research which suggests cooking oil smoke could be related, but this is far from enough to definitively point towards it as the root cause, or even enough to justify your hunch I would argue. Also keep in mind there could be multiple causes of which cooking oil is just one part.
And the RAM your computer is writing everything to is mutable! And someone could come along and bash your computer with a hammer -- it would feel awfully mutable then! Everything is mutable if you consider the upcoming heat death of the universe.

The point is that within the abstraction you're working in, recursion is entirely immutable, and loops are not. Good programmers selectively forget about stack pointers and RAM and the heat death of the universe when they're writing code -- they put on the correct "costume" for the part of code they're in and they never go "out of character". Worrying about the stack pointer is like having your Starbucks cup in the shot of Game of Thrones. Danaerys Targaryen doesn't know WTF Starbucks is and your programming avatar should not know WTF a stack pointer is.
China's Temu Takes over 17% of US Market Share
Foundationally, pricing should be based on value, not cost[1] so you should think about what the value is to your customer and go from there.

Ex: I know that Gong costs a ton of organizations over 100k/year, and there's no way that, accounting for storage, CPUs, and all the other OpEx, that the cost comes anywhere close to the cost of compute - it's likely at least an order of magnitude greater. But because sales teams bring in so much revenue so directly, any leverage that they can buy in the form of a tool like Gong is immediately and obviously valuable.

[1]: the exception to avoiding cost-plus pricing is if you're selling a commodity. But you're not in that boat!
'Lost touch with reality': How TikTok's vaunted lobbying operation went wrong
Real-world computers are equivalent to linear bounded automata, not true Turing machines, because they have finite memory. This technicality is mostly ignored because a computer with a large finite memory is a decent enough approximation to a Turing machine for practical purposes. But, for example, the halting problem is decidable for linear bounded automata — because there are only finitely many states, every computation must either halt or eventually revisit an earlier state and get stuck in a loop — so in theory it’s an important distinction.
I don't know what a specific war has to do with this. I really don't think you're interpreting what I'm saying correctly so I'll leave this be, because you seem to just want to figure out if I'm with you or against you where I was just making a neutral argument.

You can argue for changes while still recognizing that the current rules make it more optimal to do the things you argue against. There is no contradiction.
> they often disregard mobile games as an inferior product

Have you seen the type of mobile game which accrues the vast, vast majority of the revenue? They are literally designed as addiction engines first, and games a distant second. They're "games" in the same way that a baited hook is fish food.

The relative handful of actual good mobile games have often struggled, partly because Apple is very happy to promote and take a cut of the enormous revenue generated by this predatory business.
I use the docker.io and docker-compose packages in the stock Debian repository, and they seem to work perfectly fine? (Notably better than the Docker snap package that I tried to use, for that matter.)
A language with a "stack pointer" would indeed be difficult to learn.
Weren't they used in Java Cards?

Basically, every single credit card sized security chip (including actual credit cards, of course) is a small processor running Java applets. Pretty much everyone has one or more in their wallet. I'd assume those were actual Java CPUs directly executing bytecode?
TL;DR: The authors pretrain the model to classify images into Wordnet synsets[a] that appear in the caption, using a standard Cross Entropy loss. They keep the number of classes relatively small by removing any synsets that don't show up in captions at least 500 times in the dataset. It seems to work well.

My immediate question is: Why not classify among the entire hierarchy of all Wordnet synsets?

The less cultural pressure and cultural momentum there is to have and raise kids, the more utilitarian factors have sway, imo, and expectations for parents to be spending more money and time on their kids seem to be ever rising.

But even relatively generous countries like Sweden don't come close to bringing parents to financial parity with non-parents -- even though it's the state that's benefitting financially long-term -- so getting to replacement rate for any developed country seems unlikely in the foreseeable future.
Whoah. The majority of Israeli Jewish people are not European; they're people of MENA origin. And, of course, there are over 2 million Israeli-Arab citizens.

> If Intel pulls off DSA, they will be using a newer generation of technology compared to TSMC using an optimized older generation. Could TSMC still make better chips? Maybe. But Intel will likely be better.

Is Intel working on "an optimized older generation" as a backup plan? I don't follow semiconductors very closely, but my impression is the reason they're "behind" is they bet aggressively on an advanced technology that didn't pan out.

Isn’t the Prologue basically a Chevy?
That's simply not true in my direct experience. I built a WISP back in the day, and although I don't have customers now, I still use the backhaul network to feed my office (typing this over that network). I have Starlink as a backup. Starlink is about as fast as my fixed wireless terrestrial link. It's often faster for download, and about 2/3 as fast for upload. Way, way faster than dialup and DSL.
My first attempt to learn recursion involved Tower of Hanoi. It left me confused for days before clicking.
A shallow and superficial comment in a subthread that took the wrong turn. Casually applying nasty labels in an act of self-loathing from a fellow German. Oh no, our toxic workplaces, truly funny. Our beloved individualism that has little regard for society as a whole left, consequences of that showing up more and more, how dare the old asian guy hold on to the old ways. "Xenophobia" in the face of mass immigration that is handled terribly etc.

Actually take your criteria and apply them fairly to some of the other cultures around the world. And let the old guy smoke (outside). He is not the worst human ever, that's for sure.
It would help a lot if charges were an all or nothing basis. Either a jury convicts on all counts, or you go free, with all your legal bills paid and compensation for the false arrest and imprisonment.

Most criminal cases are open-and-shut deals where someone is clearly guilty of something, so for typical cases this policy wouldn't change much. But it would significantly reduce the power of government to harass innocent people.
I wonder if it’s more than just correlation that Facebook was made available to everyone in late 2006.

Those are not opinions, they're provably false statements or threats. Conspiracy is essentially committing a crime as a group rather than an individual, and the statements are the evidence of the crime rather than the crime in itself.

The closest the government comes to prohibiting an opinion is copyright, but even then you can restate the opinion in your own words, and when an exact quote is necessary to make your point it's fair use specifically because it would otherwise violate free speech.
Is it possible they’re taking all the US data into China hosts before things change?

> Just look at the 2(!) meta-studies that led to an estimated range of 3.7 to 110 grams of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in IPCCs AR5 2014.

Are you referring to carbon emissions from building nuclear plants, or something else? If you're referring to emissions from building nuclear plants, well, the people who installed my solar panels pulled up in an ICE van.

(Either way, I have no interest in figuring out what the carbon emissions of nuclear fission or photovoltaic solar panels are; nor am I going to entertain an argument that holding two pellets of uranium together somehow emits carbon.)

> That means they avoid ramp up and downs?

Yes, emphatically yes. This is very old technology, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Swamp_Hydroelectric_Power...

> Construction started ... was completed in 1974. New England Power Company developed Bear Swamp with the intention of absorbing and storing some of the excess electrical power from the Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station which was located nearby... Bear Swamp continues operate by absorbing electrical power from the grid and later returning electrical power to the grid.

Today, it's used to absorb excess solar production in MA. It's also really cool. I toured it as a teenager.

If you want more modern technology you could pair a nuclear plant with Tesla megapacks. You seem to be more motivated to study that feasibility than I am, though.
Replying to both parent comments here:

I do a fair bit of promotion on YouTube[1] which has resulted in a vibrant community around the software, and I am now creating an official, free GUI[2].

In this specific case even if there had been a trademark in place, the person in question had not used the name of the project at all, but had decided to aggressively market it in community spaces.

Ultimately after much reflection and experiencing first hand how easy it is for people to abuse (in my opinion) the option of deliberately hard-forking and introducing breaking changes to funnel people towards a paid piece of software (in this case, a GUI) that will _only_ work with their hard-fork, I concluded that preventing this kind of ecosystem fragmentation is more important to me than an "OSI-approved" badge.

I hate abstractions. Program the thing as it is intended.

Why do programmers always need a library between them and the API?
Absurdity, unfairness, and failure often result from selective blindness to reality, whether willful or unintentional. Hyperlogical people sometimes lack empathy or an ability to conceive of, to understand, or prefer to trivialize ambiguous situations, politics, biases, human factors, or nonfunctional requirements. Always keep looking for one's own and organizational blind spots.
Yes, and having installed one myself, its no picnic so I can understand why there would be a pushback against that and instead scapegoating the gas range. But really its insane how much crap gets into the air when you cook anything indoors on any type of range.
No Abstractions here really means "just use terms from the underlying system", which is a good naming principle in general.

Problems inevitably arise over time when there's multiple underlying systems and they have different names for the same thing, or, arguably worse, use both use a name but for different things. In this example, what if the underlying payment providers have different models? Also, what if the Federal Reserve, deprecates Input Message Accountability Data and switches to a new thing?

Maybe things are a lot simpler in the payment industry than they are in transportation or networking protocol. If I built a packet-switching product based on X.25 and later wanted to also support tcp/ip, what's the right abstraction?
You’re fundamentally misunderstanding what is going on. There are a majority number of votes to support popular legislation. These bills are simply not brought to a vote BY THE MAJORITY PARTY due to internal majority party politics.

Nothing in your facile proposal would remedy this. What would fix the problem would be change to the rules so that simple majority could bring legislation to a vote. This does not exist in any functional way.

And we haven’t even touched on the fact that the majority of seats are often controlled by a minority of voters due to gerrymandering and the constitutional structure of the senate.

Birthrate decline due to increased wealth and social status is not inevitable. See Sweden.[1]

However, as the article said, there are issues around the uncertainty of the future and economic issues that's contributing to depressed fertility rate. We should take of that. It is unclear if taking care of these problems will lead to income-fertility relationship that was shown in the Swedish population.

Payment provider ? It was paid with a credit card, I don't think a bank could do anything here.

We did not file a dispute - there is an government agency which specifically manages the cases of those refunds, and they are 'fully booked' for more than a year.

You can speak for yourself. I’ve been able to “do it” with more than a 100 women because of dating apps. I can’t even imagine being able to do that without meeting women online.
Looks like you didn't either. That's still the opening anecdote.
You need people to work.

A consequence of decreased fertility is increasing median age.

It's a compounding problem as you need resources and more young people to support older peoplevv

Anti-humanist environmentalism?
I'm fairly sure I'm not insane. :)

For one, there are more people on Ubuntu. I believe, a large part of the reason for that, is the cadence. I don't exactly like Ubuntu and I decided to depart for Debian last year, I had had just about enough of Ubuntu quirks and antics. But I held fast for so long because of the cadence. You can set your corporate schedule on month == April && (year % 4) == 0 and be done with it, for the LTS releases. With Debian you have to be at least a little tuned in to current events. I don't like that, I have other things going on.

Ubuntu also has a cadence to the non LTS. So if you want to study ahead what could break, test your stuff currently deployed on LTS, on the latest regular stable.

This is my que to off on a tangent and remark that easy cloud and Kubernetes (oh dear don't get me started but it's also useful, so what can I say) has made whatever OS runs on the servers less important. But I still care for some things.

And I don't want to run testing. I like to keep just one step behind. Of course, not everyone can be like that or there wouldn't be any experimentation and progress, but there are plenty of other people filling that niche.

Thanks for asking in earnest.

Me too. At least we'd have people on the playing field who agree to the fundamental rules of democracy. Rules like "when you lose an election, you concede and transfer power."
There are still use cases and people who need something different than that.

I didn't use it, but have used Workmail, I assume it's part of the same (extremely rudimentary MS Office/Google Workspace alternative) suite. It's the kind of thing that if you use it you use it for a bit, but then the need disappears (or you move on), nobody's really using it long-term or at big scale, so nobody's really talking about it much, and AWS obviously not interested in changing that so now further limiting it or perhaps gradually killing off the whole Work* lot.

(Or actually to be fair Workmail is absolutely fine long-term and at scale if you only need the service and everyone will use whatever client. It's only really the web client that makes it look like a bit of a joke. But I'm not sure how many businesses that can really apply to, for one reason or another there's always going to be people that want/need a web client at least some of the time, or you need something else (like docs!) that anywhere you get is going to give you mail too anyway.)

Nice spin playing on the hacker ethos here.

Although information is in its name, it gets its full meaning from its suffix.
MISinformation is the missing of information or the mis-leading of an audience by spinning purposefully false rhetoric and delivering arguments for a false narrativvve.

It is very closely related to propaganda, but with a different aim. The aim here is not to have someone look good but to destabelize and subvert.

So although it is containing information in its name, neither it nor propaganda can be labeled information.

Who would want to consume lies freely anyways?

Also, nice addendum of the first amendment btw., the right of US citizens to express their opinions is not being curtailed here. It is just a medium that is under scrutiny and, I might add, for a very very good reason.
I always tell people that I understand pointers because I once made one out of gates. This may be a case where teaching a simple microprocessor architecture would reap a lot of benefits. My first was the Z80, simply because there was a book about it at Radio Shack.
Rails is *ancient* in the context of tech though, I think it's fair to criticize the skeletons in the closest while not necessarily refuting that the ecosystem is still active.

An equivalent example imo is the PHP ecosystem, which itself has been growing rapidly and thriving over the years -- but at the same time if you did deep enough you'll find a graveyard of long since abandoned frameworks, libraries, etc...
