Henri Poincaré and Ernst Mach where physicists that worked in the same domains as Einstein. Mixing in the philosopher Hume make your citation very unprecise. Yet, even is debating about Hume had "significantly influenced Einstein's own subsequent ideas and beliefs", that does not mean it had an influence on his relativity theory.

Though I recon that Einstein philosophical and religious beliefs did influence his theory. IIRC, it lead him to alter his model of the universe so that it would be stable. After much criticism, he dropped the magic constant he had created for this.

I don't recall if my experiences involved McKinsey or not. I do understand that not everyone looking for a rubber stamp needs to involve a firm as expensive as McKinsey, however I disagree with the general assertion that they're always too expensive for this.

If there are very large amounts of money or very risky behavior involved (e.g. behavior that could trigger an investigation by a government agency), it's sometimes worth paying for the best of the best, so you can avoid any questions along the lines of "why did you use JoeSchmoe's RubberStampsRUs Consulting, when you could have used one of the big firms?"
According to your comment history you’re a leftist who, among other things, supports Kyle Rittenhouse. I would say this is a rare configuration of positions.

The point you’re making about Collins suffers because you only labelled him an “extreme leftist”, over and over again, without examples of this behavior. So I went looking, myself. Apparently he was pulled off Twitter coverage because he made posts mocking Elon Musk for suspending the accounts of other journalists. While this might be too opinionated for a professional whose beat includes Musk, it isn’t evidence of “extreme left” views.

> Collins has been yanked off the air from NBC and MSNBC but remains on staff. He has been actively tweeting and retweeting the latest developments related to Musk’s controversial decision to ban the accounts of several left-leaning journalists who were critical of his management of the social media app.

I hope you will concede that the NY Post has not yet fallen to left-wing extremism.

Labeling critics as “extremist”, without evidence, and attempting to make it stick through sheer repetition, is itself a tactic of extremists.
> knowledgable, focused people do the work instead of just randomly passing laws based on their twitter feed.

That's not what happens, though. Agency heads are political appointees who take their marching orders from the executive (president). They engage in poor-quality rule-making all the time when it's politically advantageous for the president and/or his party.

Coming from a country with a Westminster system where federal legislation is relatively easy to pass, I strongly believe it's a feature of the US system of government that it's a herculean task for congress to pass new laws and that the executive is very limited in its powers.

The more power that can be devolved to the state and local level, the better - there's no reason to think a small group of people in Washington are capable of making considered decisions on behalf of 330M+ Americans in the majority of circumstances, and that extends to the myriad of federal agencies engaged in the rule-making process.

In recent years one of the two parties was taken over by a reality show host blowhard with no impulse control or self awareness. It would be weird if the media didn't capitalize on that with extra attention.

The worst idea of our time is that there's some sort of law or balance in the universe preventing one party from ever deserving more criticism than the other because there's at all times some sort of magical fixed equivalence or symmetry to their dysfunction.

Sometimes a guy who tweets all day, pays off porn stars, and has to pay $25 million for having run a fake university is just funnier. That's Occam's razor. Pretending there's full dignity in that would be a kind of participation trophy.

I skipped the purely biographical paragraphs. Some important parts:

- Memorization and rote practice are important for learning, not just the current Zeitgeist (2014) of “understanding” without the former. This becomes the foundation that allows you to focus on higher-level things like understanding and applying formulas.

- Experts develop “memory chunks” which allows for example chess masters to draw on thousands of different past games, openings, variations.
> That is because of modern farming practices.

It's because of a multi-factorial societal shift involving vaccines, sanitation, germ theory, hand washing, water treatment, safety regulations, inspections, refridgeration, etc.

Pretending it's all because of factory farming is just silly.

The key to being able to eat rare meat is not to smear cow shit all over it and store it at 65 degrees for a day in an alley market. The key to being able to eat a salad is washing and cold storage of a product that inevitably gets exposed to pathogens in farm fields unless you raise it hydroponically in a hermetically sealed warehouse.
> "Vampire facial" is the common name for a platelet-rich plasma microneedling procedure. In this treatment, a patient's blood is drawn, spun down to separate out plasma from blood cells, and the platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the face with microneedles. It's claimed—with little evidence—that it can rejuvenate and improve the look of skin, and got notable promotions from celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian.
An unquantized Qwen1.5-110B model would require some ~220GB of RAM, so 100+GB would not be "enough" for that, unless we put a big emphasis on the "+".

I consider "heavily" quantized to be anything below 4-bit quantization. At 4-bit, you could run a 110B model on around 55GB to 60GB of memory. Right now, Llama-3-70B-Instruct is the highest ranked model you can download[0], and you should be able to fit the 6-bit quantization into 64GB of RAM. Historically, 4-bit quantization represents very little quality loss compared to the full 16-bit models for LLMs, but I have heard rumors that Llama 3 might be so well trained that the quality loss starts to occur earlier, so 6-bit quantization seems like a safe bet for good quality.

If you had 128GB of RAM, you still couldn't run the unquantized 70B model, but you could run the 8-bit quantization in a little over 70GB of RAM. Which could feel unsatisfying, since you would have so much unused RAM sitting around, and Apple charges a shocking amount of money for RAM.

Unless you work at an org that has all this stuff, like pretty much any org at scale that has compliance or security requirements. My work-issued MacBook has an AV that slows opening everything, forces updates and restarts and all that jazz.
Royal assent is a ceremonial process at this point as the powers to refuse a bill are very, very rarely exercised.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_assent):

"The last bill that was refused assent was the Scottish Militia Bill during Queen Anne's reign in 1708."

Even that was only done on the advice of government ministers who had second thoughts after the bill was passed.
Firefox and Chrome display a permission dialog when a website requests attestation, and you can deny it. If you deny it, the website has no idea how your passkey is stored, allowing you to use a pure-software solution if you so desire. The website could discriminate against you for denying attestation, but note that Apple always denies attestation for passkeys, so websites intended for the general public are unlikely to discriminate against users who deny attestation.

So yes, I believe your requirements are met in practice.
If you’re interested in getting more eyes on it, might I suggest reaching out to the newspaper the Atlanta Journal Constitution?
> the characterization of who is the "good guys" and "bad guys" is also much more complex in the real world

Any security solution that involves lay people having access to keys is NOT secure. What you call "absurd user-hostile" is actually basic security in the real world with non-technical people.

Technical people can already be secure using appropriate protections, but even for them it's very difficult to do it properly.

Lay people will, without understanding what they're doing, ask the password manager to give them their password to enter manually on any phishing website as they'll think that it's not working because it's "broken". So , absolutely no, password managers do NOT prevent phishing.

If you think I am exaggerating, well, I work with this and I assure you it's even worse than that.
> Turning Linux into Windows by replicating svchost.exe shouldn't be applauded by the Linux community. ... We've got Linux's PID 1 (for most distros) controlled by a MS employee, who replicated Windows' svchost.exe. And people are all excited?

systemd was pretty consciously patterned after launchd, not svchost. The goal was, and for good reasons, to make Linux behave like a more integrated Unix-like that already existed: MacOS.

Benno Rice has an excellent presentation on systemd that's worth watching through to the end; unlike most of the table-pounding (and "it's just svchost.exe!!" is exactly that), he provides what I think is a pretty fair--and, interestingly to me, a BSD-grounded--view as to where systemd is strong and is weak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo
Full disclosure if you're a good guy, no disclosure if you're bad.

"Responsible" disclosure is anything but.
Slightly poor wording from me maybe. There have been cases where for example only one hardware key could be set up but other methods were available at the same time.

I remember AWS having some weird choices at some point too, not sure how they are currently.

But yeah, typically I think most services have had multiple choises available at the same time.
If I have any fear that the associated private key have leaked. For instance if my off-site encrypted backup is stolen. I sure would want to rotate my private key because my secret would be only as safe as the encryption method at the time the backup was stolen. I'm still not entirely sold on the "quantum will break any current crypto" but better safe than sorry.
Thanks for clarifying. I apologize for being unnecessarily confrontational.
> complaining on a forum online does nothing.

This probably isn't true.

Forums are voluminous online and regularly contain such complaints, partly as the anonymity gives people a feeling of being more free to express themselves, versus other types of social group interactions.

Given that cohesive and cooperative direct action from organised groups is relatively rare, it could be seen as statistically likely direct action at least sometimes resulted from a group unifying over discussion on a forum.

So the entire dev environment and any programs you have running in it only uses a single thread?
This isn’t the right thread for this but you can look at the model and the difference in parameters. A MacBook Pro will be cheap but have slow inference whereas the using cards will be more expensive , faster for inference (usage) and refining. If you have the money go for the MacBook Pro since it seems that networks under 100B that are trained for a very long time have improved performance and the amount of parameters you need would fit in the MacBook Pro
Well, the good news is that the Fed recently rolled out the first phase of a replacement ACH system (FedNow) that does instant transfers.

The bad news is that it will be decades before most major payment systems move to it.

I haven’t worked in fintech long enough to tell you why it was modeled to take so long, but I would hazard a guess that it’s because the primary method of moving money was paper checks and physical card impressions until the last couple decades.

My interpretation is that they meant domain-level abstractions. So, their API endpoints won't try to hide details about the underlying payment methods through abstractions, because that works best for those users.

The API being implemented with JSON over HTTP isn't related to the domain of processing payments, so I don't see it as a contradiction to the article's title.

If you care about spying, please talk about the problems with spying in a way that doesn't involve people being freely able to do things that endanger the lives of others.

>The sensible default of just making the menu bar background black isn't there...

This may not apply to you since you mention using dark mode, but for those who use light mode, there is a hidden system preference you can use to force only the menu bar and dock to being dark. Easiest way to set this is with TinkerTool.

How can we really know what cows know? What we know is they follow a herbivorous diet when possible. Their teeth and digestive system are optimized for consuming plants.

Some people just won't ever be good at math. There are people who have basically no visual intuition and can't predict what an object will look like when rotated in 3 dimensions. It may be possible to practice this but someone who does poorly at this untrained is unlikely to ever reach even median level ability. There are techniques you can learn to perform this task in a multiple choice test situation but they don't train your brain to be better at visualizing 3d rotations at all.

This is not to say that object rotation is a proxy for mathematical ability, but just a demonstration that there are cognitive tasks which people vary widely in ability on when untrained and which we don't have an effective way to train, at least at an arbitrary age. Lots of Math seem to be this way.

I wish mathematics education would incorporate more history and philosophy. Personally, I was never great at math in school, less because of aptitude and more because I just found it boring and disconnected from the things I found interesting as a kid.

Years later, I’ve been slowly trying to “catch up” with my mathematical knowledge, and I find myself the most interested in topics that relate to the lives of mathematicians (and how events impacted their work) and to the philosophy of mathematics. I didn’t get any of this in school math classes, which focused purely on calculations and formulas.

I had the same experience with accounting, as well: boring in isolation but fascinating when connected to the history of double entry accounting in Italy, global trade from the 1500s onwards, and so on.

The supreme court has been very clear that congress can't delegate lawmaking to executive agencies. So no, I haven't forgotten that at all.

What's your argument in favor of federalizing all aspects of law in a large and heterogenous country? Why does the federal government need to force Texas to ban non-competes when Texas has decided not to do so but California has?

What if the next government decides to force California to un-ban non-competes with a new rule issued by Executive Order? Do you not see why this is an unworkable and brittle approach?
