There's not a lot else like them in anime, so none of the shows I'm about to list are good for the same reasons that those two were good.

Shinsekai Yori was great, and a rare case of high-effort worldbuilding that actually delivers on its premise. Highly spoilable.

If Akiba Maid Sensou is not my anime-of-the-decade for this decade, I will be very surprised, but it assumes you understand both yakuza culture and maid cafe culture and I'm not sure what someone who doesn't would get out of it.

Hana to Alice, Satsujin Jiken might not even be anime, since it relies extremely heavily on 1:1 rotoscoping, but it is short and doesn't really look like anything else.

Gankutsuou also gets a ton of points for being visually distinctive, and (at least at the time of release, maybe that's not true anymore) being the most faithful adaptation of Dumas' original to video despite casting a blue-skinned space vampire as the Count.

Princess Tutu is a fantastic use of popular ballet as a framing device that was doing the whole 'meta-narrative' thing long before it was cool.

Mononoke (not the Ghibli film Mononoke-hime) is a good-looking take on the classic supernatural detective genre.

Id:Invaded is also a supernatural detective story, which manages to be entertainingly audacious without ever really feeling like it was just going for cheap shock value.
The premise here seems to be that people are generally no longer explicitly looking for socialization (if they ever did). If you build an environment for the sole purpose of socialization, they aren't apt to come.

People haven't stopped going outside. Certainly if you give some other reason to get together (to play a sport, to listen to bands play music, whatever) on a frequent basis, then yes, socialization is bound to occur as part of that, but that is not the same as having a place centred around socialization; a place where you can turn up when you feel like it and find other people there also waiting to socialize.
In the US, this is known as the George Costanza Phenomenon.

Projecting out exponential growth into the far future is great because it has happened exactly never in history. All growth is on an S curve. Always.
Turn it into a product for corporate surveillance and you’ll have a much bigger market.
That is not necessarily true all over Europe. In my area prices were increases somewhat recently and I now decided against going there anymore. However, they did not change any seating inside, everything stayed somewhat tge same
This is fascinating, and yeah, since I was a teenager around then, VHS probably just became ancient history as soon as I could play DVDs.
Not at all. That is why I did not mention the legal part. Which is a bit disappointing as the host has a lawyer background. Oh well…
I had a similar path. In the 90’s I was very much into Magic. Too much. But in 2017 I picked up Pokémon TCG and enjoyed it immensely. The local scene was strong pre-covid, and regional tournaments were a blast.

I think the distinction that they are trying to illustrate that if you asked a human about laser eye removal, they would either laugh or make the decision to charitably interpret your intent.

The llm does not do either. It just follows a statistical heuristic and therefore thinks that laser eye removal is the same thing
They make high margins on $7 Frappuccinos.
Thanks for you comment. I was only splitting the spectrum into the two broadest categories for rhetorical simplicity.

Of course I also agree that society needs to become more accepting and supportive of all types of people. To put it simply, we should not become a bioengineered dystopia. We can do two things at once though.

>I think that this type of research is unnecessarily lumping intellectual disabilities with the traits in what you call neurodiverse people.

This is an unfair and unsubstantiated view that you are projecting onto the researchers. I give benefit of the doubt that these professionals have a far better understanding of the science, sociology, and ethics of the topic than any of us. We need better understanding and improvement in all the areas right now.
I really liked their recent one on Microsoft. They cover how intertwined Microsoft was in the early days with IBM. IBM did notice the trend towards PCs and made it a skunkwork project out of Florida to remove it from the IBM bureaucracy.

Second there is a book called “The Difference between Larry Ellison and God” which was about the early days of Oracle. Oracle’s SQL database was built entirely on research from IBM and a bit from Berkeley. IBM was slow to commercialize on SQL but the reason SQL is a standard is because of IBM.

But one of the interesting things that the podcast covers is that IBM was so large and powerful they were stymied to make the big moves necessary because it would have led to antitrust action. So even though we think of it as ineptitude there was a reason that they missed the mark.
How do you square that with the severe cases of autism? The people who will never be able to live independently?
You’re going to have way better luck if you tap your network and bypass the generic “apply here” submission queue.

Beyond that, for most companies I’m familiar with are feeding your application into a system. Submitting for a ton of roles is likely not getting you anything different than submitting for one and then having the recruiter route you to the best fit.
I use Basecamp and utilize the shortcuts every few seconds.
Then people should stop conflating the two. This whole "spectrum" nonsense is nonsense. Your coworkers are not autistic - they are weird or whatever other more PC term you might want to use, and that's great - many, if not most, great engineers are!. There is no need to pathologize differences in people. Your relative, by contrast, is. If you have a habit of feeling sleepy at work, it's not like we say you're on the narcolepsy spectrum. It's just a completely dumb concept.

People like your relative, or the kid who sits around flapping his hand and starts freaking out if anybody interacts with him - those people are obviously not just 'weird'. They clearly have severe mental disorders, and if we want to call whatever it is that they have autism - fine. But if we do, then we need to stop calling people like your coworkers, Bill Gates, or whoever else also autistic.

Apple's Influence Has Peaked, but Its Products Haven't
There is a large range of things people are fully entitled to have a sane-but-politically-aligned opinion on between inconsequential matters of taste and the scientifically quantifiable quality of the world we live in.

For example things such as:

-should universities be state subsidised or should there be tuition.

-If state needs to raise more taxes what
type of tax should they increase; sales tax or income tax.

- should there be a tobacco tax or should tobacco be made illegal

- should cocaine be legalized

Etc etc mundane things.

This is not unrelated to all other things - these all are political issues. There is no ”lane b” for matters of urgency unless there is an imminent disaster looming. All matters need to churn through the same machine - sales tax incease of 0.1 % as well as specific environmental matters.

The biggest villain here is not humnanity. It’s the hydrocarbon companies and families (Koch!) that have fucked up the political dialogue by first seeding ”skepticism” and then making a matter scientific urgency a political negotiable thing.

The machine is what it is, and it’s capable of doing great things. Some fucktards have just intentionally loosened a few gears and somebody would need to fix the mess.

Now, one must point out that the fossil fuels burned have not just disappeared as smoke in the air. We’ve used them to keep the wheels of civilization spinning and in a way it’s not just folks like Koch that have profited but we all have profited from fossil fuel based world order (see for example ’How the world really works’ by Smil). So, in a way all consumers in the industrial world have been benefitted materially - which also explains why there are so many vested interests not too keen to energetically debunk the ”climate skeptics”. Yeah. Everything I own I own mostly because of cheap industrial goods and food in whose production fossil fuels have played an important part.

So it’s not a simple thing to fix. But it’s all down to the same machine.
These options are ways to preserve entities not histories.

For example you might not care to record the 20 different names/birthdays a user changed but you might care to remember that the user existed.
Thanks for introducing me to quite a few different topics.
I’m not sure how Starbucks ( or most coffee shops) are really third places. I imagine most people immersed in their phones or laptops would tend to brush off any serious attempts at conversation.

To another comment about this being all about lack of walk ability in many places I’m also not sure that being able to walk around an urban core suddenly makes it a social center absent some persistent stimulus.

My experience is groups of friends and activity partners generally tend to happen without close physical proximity.
As a spectrum, autism presents in many ways, but it's all considered "autism" at this point. There are not different "kinds".

Sometimes "severe" autism at an early age calms down as a person grows.

Sometimes "mild" autism gets worse as someone becomes dysregulated and overstimulated.

Many times autism is missed in women and POC because they mask more readily than boys. Sometimes it's missed in boys because it's explained as "boys being boys".

Either way, why don't you ask autistic people if they want to be "cured" or "accommodated"? I think you'll find the answer is "accommodation". It seems like, to me at least, it's only not autistic people who talk about "curing" autism, as if they'd be doing the world a favor if there were no more autistic people.
Solving Recurrence Relations
correct, I worked with the tokenizer quite a lot, and I should've clearly made the distinction between semantic splitting and just this statistically-convenient splitting. I got carried out by the greater picture. thanks for pointing this, I would've updated the post if I could

I didn't say we should drop LLMs, your point about them still getting better and better is one reason why. they're very useful and we'll only ditch them after something better comes out
> So US and Western Europe are autocracies then ?

That's ridiculous.

The laws are certainly not where they need to be, but a European citizen can at least provide consent to how their data is handled, request their data from companies, and ask for it to be deleted. Last I heard, there are similar laws in some US states. China has recently passed similar laws (PIPL), but I'm not sure how that can be reconciled with living in a surveillance state, where your actions online can harm your social credit score, get you arrested[1], or disappeared.

Not the same. There is a difference between "I cannot understand the deeper details of certain model but some others can and there's the possibility of explaining it in detail" and "Nobody can understand it and there's not a clear cause-effect that we know" .

Except for weird cases, computers (or cars, or cameras, or lots of other man made devices) are clearly known and you (or another specialist) can clearly show why a device does X when you input Y on it.

If they're professional runners, running doesn't use up "extra time". It's their job.
I think you’ve got the causation reversed. People built freeways so they can live in car-dependent suburbs. I’ve got a lot of immigrant family that came through New York City because there is a large community of our ethnic group there. Every single family has moved out to the suburbs as soon as possible. The folks who came with a bit more education went straight to places like Dallas Fort Worth where you could buy a big house for not too much money.
Mass media is regularly used to distribute misinformation already and nobody seems invested in stopping that.
What I've learned from a weekly newsletter
Among the issues reported by other comments, those over index for the size of the state. Nebraska produces close to twice as much corn as Indiana for example, it’s just a much larger state.

For those looking for concrete data:

Iowa: 13.1M acres

Illinois: 11.2M acres

Nebraska: 9.95M acres

Minnesota: 8.6M acres

Indiana: 5.45M acres

Ohio: 4.75M acres

Yeah I hadn't actually read anything from him before, and maybe this was just the wrong piece to start on, but this doesn't inspire me to find out. The points were interesting, but not nearly enough to justify being that glib when there are people making more interesting points who know what they're talking about. I'm an art school guy, so I'm well-versed in the idea of imprecise conceptual thinking and conveying how things feel rather than how they actually are-- that's art. But presenting how things feel as how they are isn't called art, it's called bullshit.
"I thought we were talking about real seasonality? A climate deadline arbitrarily chosen by the Sun and Earth's orbit around it is as much fake seasonality as any whim by a corporate executive."

Yeah, that's idiotic. But only about as much as your version.

Yes it is. It's exactly what the article suggests:

---

... Naviaux and his team completed early clinical testing for suramin. ... Now, the researchers hope that by revealing the specific ATP-related pathways that are altered in autism, their work will help scientists develop more drugs that target these pathways to manage the symptoms of ASD.

"Suramin is just one drug that targets the cell danger response," he said. "Now that we're closely interrogating how metabolism changes in ASD, we could be at the beginning of a drug renaissance that will create new options for treatment that never existed before."

This study [literally] brought to you by Pannex Therapeutics, Yuva Biosciences, Kuzani, and Paxmedica, MaraBio Systems, Inc and undoubtedly numerous other big pharma interests that were able to keep the study at arm's length enough to avoid disclosure requirements. [1]

Yeah, this car-centric, low density lifestyle model also likes very strict zoning: no third places that aren’t a church are allowed to be near suburban homes.
I can’t understand how we can ever discuss this topic if even legitimate sources with extensive academic references and scientific data are immediately banished.
> I'd say I've pretty much become a doomer and accepted what is to come

I've stopped fearing what can be seen coming. Prepare, and (where possible) do what you can to steer towards solutions.

But I do fear the unpredictable. Black swan events, passing some tipping point(s) that wasn't even on scientists' radar, 2nd/3rd order effects from weather extremes, (worldwide) mass crop failures, resource conflicts, mass migration, etc. Or for good measure: another pandemic, supervolcano eruption, nuclear weapon exchange or km-sized asteroid hitting us. Just to name a few..

Never mind the combination of those.

No, only your idea of it is.
The economics are very different though without the overhead of a large team.

If they have 8 openings they have raised a round and probably already have slides in the deck about their plans to go upmarket and sell giant licenses to large tech companies. They want to close deals that are 25-100k/year that cover big chunks of the org.
I strongly recommend Wolf Children. It's on par with Miyazaki's best. A really moving and heartwarming film.

On the flipside of the spectrum, Grave of the Fireflies and In This Corner of the World are excellent but tragic WW2 films told from the Japanese civilian perspective. Grave of the Fireflies in particular is a difficult watch, but worth seeing once.
If you take microservices to mean more isolated and lightweight runtimes and moving away from “single bigass server”, then disagree. I remember multihour deployments where each team would have to stage and coordinate their rollouts with each other and it sucked, no one liked it.

If you mean how Uber famously had like 8000 microservices, more than 1 for each engineer, then sure. But it’s mixing up cause and effect. Aligning deployment boundaries with domain boundaries is, all things equal, a good idea. ZIRP-gorged unicorns would have found makework one way or another.
Thanks. I just had lunch with an old coworker this week. It sounds like the market is tough right now -- lots of "open positions" but few are actually hiring.

"having the recruiter route you to the best fit" is kinda what I want, honestly. I guess I have to apply for enough positions to get to that stage.
The medical system has a history of mistreating marginalized groups (of which neurodiverse people are definitely an example), and there are a huge number of people who fund and perform research aimed solely at eradicating all forms of autism. Autism Speaks is one such group (which is an ironic name since the views of the organization differ greatly from those of most autistic people), and they are quite active in autism research and well-funded. As such, I do not think that giving the benefit of the doubt is reasonable. Furthermore, even if the researchers have an excellent and completely ethical view of autism, many people reading about the research will not so giving such a perspective remains valuable.

If can be easy to say that we should simply explore all avenues of research, and in an ideal world this would be true, but we do not live in an ideal world. There are two concerns with this type of research:

- it has an opportunity cost of research that might be more effective (for example medical treatments that could help with sensory hypersensitivity under an informed consent model could be a good result, or research that helps us understand what, exactly, leads allistic people to hate autistic people so much so that we can improve communication in both directions)

- it creates new abilities for those who would do eugenicist harm, even if they are well-meaning
That's why everyone is running ECC, yes?
Yeah new to me, and I think I've had my fill. There are people saying things just as interesting that aren't shamelessly glib about it. As I said in my reply to your sibling comment: I'm an art school guy, so I'm well-versed in the idea of imprecise conceptual thinking and conveying how things feel rather than how they actually are-- that's art. But presenting how things feel as how they are isn't called art, it's called bullshit.
The formula is simple: show up in the same place at the same time, over and over again, as part of a group that does the same.

This is why so many friendships and relationships come out of work and school.

For me, it happened by accident, first in the techno music scene (clubs and parties are third places), and then again in the poker scene in Las Vegas. 100% of my local friends in Vegas are math/strategy nerds.
Having moved from SLC and subsequently lived in several major west coast cities (Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland), it's always surprised me that the cities recognized for their amazing coffee all have way less late-night coffee options than meek little Salt Lake. I haven't really been there in a decade so maybe that has changed, but they had several shops open til after midnight.

(Shout out to any of the folks who used to frequent Greenhouse Effect in the early aughts, before it got bought out and turned into a purely profit driven venture by Jimmy and his dad).
Yes, fenced blocks is what I meant. Recreating parts of xml and cdata seems the common end goal. I think we have enough modern processing that you can do looser grammars.

Composition is an odd goal to me. Most notebook usage is exploratory. As such, taking effort to reuse notebooks feels counter to the benefits of doing it again that you can get.

Though, I'm a fan of seeing different workflows. And excited to be shown places I'm wrong! Kudos!

If the thing you want to do with the deleted data is mostly ad-hoc support queries (that is you are keeping the current workflow, not adding new UI and functionality for pervasive restores) then I feel like moving deleted entries to a new "shadow table" with the same schema (eg subscription might have a soft_deleted_subscription shadow) might work well for you.

I have never implemented this, but I feel like it would work well (including not having to specify a deleted_date IS NULL on every query)

Ah, because the DOJ Department of Justice != the Judicial Branch.

Can SCOTUS censure Members of Congress or the Executive, then?

If there are insufficient checks and balances there should be Amendments to preserve separation of powers amongst the branches.
there are other factors here. Children diagnosed with autism at the age of 5 must be adults now to determine if they can live alone. So they were diagnosed at minimum 13 years ago, with many diagnosed much earlier. Autism diagnostics is much more common now than it used to be, especially in families with higher economic status. Diagnostics tools evolved, more kids are tested and tests capture more kids. So I think this number will be completely different in 10-20 years from now. In my experience as a parent of ASD kid, many kids now considered ASD would not be considered ASD 20 or 30 years ago.
