I don’t believe gods are real, but I can still see the irony of making absolute statements regarding unfalsifiable ideas.
I think the whole point is that in cases of aesthetics, we built a bunch of eyesores for utilities and industries in the past anyway. Also I'm sure the next guy is going to say "does my land-ownership not mean anything? Why could my neighbor build an oil field in the past but I can't put up a big wind farm?"

It's not black and white like that and trade-offs get made all the time.
We have banned alcohol, religions ban alcohol. It's more to do with moral panic rather than subjugating people. As others mention, Singapore, China, Japan, North Korea, etc. have strict control over narcotic substances. Many countries are in diametric opposition to US policies but "agree" with narcotics policies for some of the same reasons.

You have to realize countries will make things terrible crimes by framing something anti-colonialist.
If you're writing software to automate a business process, you're well advised to spend some time learning how to do the job you're automating so you some idea if what you're making is shit or not.
If landlords become unwilling to pay for new construction, that reduces the demand for new housing supply hitting the market. Which reduces its price and makes it more affordable to owner-occupants.

Yes, this is a downside of certificate transparency. Also, using Let’s Encrypt certs for internal hosts, as some do for convenience, means you’re publishing your internal hostnames. Use an internal CA if that worries you.
This debate over graffiti aesthetics seems like it’s semantically adjacent to the rift between political left and right. And so: Have you seen Japanese graffiti? Compared to Japanese ads? Average tokyo ads/grafs are at least more aesthetic than the median in Western cities. With graffiti strangely better than ads by most measures. No , it’s not eye of the beholder, more like the soul of the despoiler.

EDIT, for the mods, artificial or not: Japanese spoliation aesthetics are a safe-ish counterexample for rightwingers as they localize the field of contention to the high local effort-high social payoff quadrant, where existing metrics are not questioned. You really want to constrain debate to the low local effort-high global payoff quadrant, which triggers all stripes, but are most relevant for humanity. Consider a GPT7 that requires only 10 dollars to train. Its worthwhile to think about but scares the bejeezus out of most folks.

Analogously, left wingers want to move the debate to low local effort-low global cost quadrant, because it seems straightforward to redefine cost metrics… moat and bailey dynamics really, quite curious.

eBay sneakily allows the listing to be posted in the first place, even though they have access to the same information as the rest of us.

i think those things just like the ai things are just probability based. which word, token or letter is most likely, based on occurences seen in large data sets.

thats not to say prediction is not a thing, like forecasting. but thats also generally based on large datasets / historical data, and perhaps as much 'context' as you can get.

context being whats around the thing u want to predict thats related to it in some way.

I'm explicitly working on this in my startup's product (a GenAI for code product).

The obvious answers: record the human's intent in the form of their prompt, and record the LLM's raw output (if you use a conversational LLM out of the box, it almost always includes this even if you explicitly prompt it not to, lol). Of course, depending on your UX this may or may not work. For autocomplete there is no obvious user intent.

There are additional approaches which I'm exploring that require more intentional engineering, but essentially involve forcing "structure" so that more intent gets explicitly specified.
The coil is for resistance. You want the voltage drop to be across the filament. The coil of thin wire gives it significant length.
Really great article

No buyers remorse but also look at Lenovo outlet. Unclear if certified refurbished is as good as Apple's but they have "new" labeled laptops which are way cheaper than the similar ones on main lenovo.com. Don't focus on the percent off label, if I tried to buy a Thinkpad t16 gen 2 "new" from the outlet it says it's 20% off 1k=800, but if I tried to buy it from lenovo.com it starts at 1.4k base

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

When someone commits an evil act, they did it because they think it is justified somehow. Most bad people do not see themselves as bad at the moment of the act, only as someone who had a reason to do it and the reason was much more important.
4k@120hz is pretty common now. I recently got an LG UltraGear. I can drive it with a usb-c to DP cable with my MBP M1. Not that expensive. Great text clarity. Personally, I enjoy the higher refresh rate when coding.

> The biggest unknown with my model is whether there was a major western Nile channel at the time, as modern authorities are split on this question.

Seems like what we have now is the discovery of a natural branch, which doesn't mean they didn't dig out useful extensions too.

The Nature article calls this branch a "tributary of the nile", which is the opposite thing to a branch. The paper says distributary (a branch). The tributaries are way to the south in Sudan and Ethiopia and Kenya.

Here's the paper:

Is data analysis what I should use if I have multiple files I want to chat about? What if I have a long multipage document? It’s starting to become obfuscated what version I should use for what.
No,the best theory is they cut the stones in a slightly underwater quarry. The limestone if submerged hasn't gained co2. They used a complex system similar to a canal. They used ballast like logs or airbags to float the cut rocks while keeping them uderwater. Even the top working row was a water filled mini canal. They would drop the stones into place. Once the water was removed the limestone would absorb co2 and swell, tightening the blocks together. This would have been some serious engineering.
squarely in the former camp. there's something deeply abhorrent about creating a place that encourages people to share and build and collaborate, then turning around and using their creative output to put more money in shareholder pockets.

i deleted my reddit and github accounts when they decided the millions of dollars per month they're receiving from their users wasn't enough. don't have the power to move our shop off slack but rest assured many will as a result of this announcement.
> The victim is not powerless, actually. the victim has all the power to get money back. many stories how very easy to get a transaction reversed with paypal/ebay and leave the seller holding the bag, even if the seller is legit.

Ebay's policies have substantially reversed from where they were in the past and the scammer's know it. Make sure to always pay for ebay with a credit card to be confident that you can reverse fraudulent transactions.

> wind energy pollutes

yes, it does. So the far right can use the same semantic arguments (redefining words) as the far left. "wind energy pollutes", that's enough (for them).

I'm not taking that position, just showing how dirty politics becomes when you stop using logic and just go for the jugular with opponents instead of engage with them on a fair level. Again, the ones who engage fairly will die off - figuratively or literally. It's an arms race, or (whatever biologists call it when two bacteria evolve defenses and kill each other).
I am a bad artist but I do make art, and have been trying to make art over the past year or so. I've made less than 200 pieces over that time but I can still go back to work that I've spent hours on and remember the decisions I've made and the specific works that have helped me grow or that I'm proud of. Do you think AI artists remember the work they've produced?
One of these days I’ll setup a honeypot and use a reverse shell technique to backdoor the attacker.
I've grown and grafted Avocado trees in both Northern and Southern California. Hass, Reed, and many other good types will fruit well in Redwood City and virtually all of the Bay Area.

ArtStation is also filling up with AI crap, though not to the same extent as dA quite yet. It's most obvious in the marketplace which is now full of paid "reference packs" that consist entirely of AI generated images, which rather defeats the point of using a reference.

There's still people on there selling good reference material but now they're buried between a few dozen variants of 6000+ WIZARD CHARACTERS IN 4K!! that someone churned out with Stable Diffusion in an afternoon.

The carbon needed for steel as an alloying element is a small fraction of the carbon needed for reduction of iron ore. The latter is replaceable with renewable energy (hydrogen or direct electrolytic reduction).

Also, note that 70% of steel production in the US isn't from ore at all, but is from scrap metal. Most of the steel used in renewable energy infrastructure will not be consumed, but will be recycled.
Possibly an overstated version of "I know what Sherry looks like, and an image search for her name does not turn up any pictures of the real person".

Is self-censorship a bad thing?

Suppose you had a finding that infidelity leads to "better" genes for the kids. I imagine most scientists wouldn't want to publish that paper because it's unpleasant to think about and seems to challenge a core tenant of our society (fidelity).

Or for example suppose one found out a huge correlation between IQ and a political party. No matter which direction they found it, most researchers would probably rightly self-censor that on the basis that it's not really a productive thing to try to put out there.

A few of the examples in the paper really are important questions in my opinion (understanding gender identity on as scientific a level as we can), but most of them aren't. For example I don't think question 6 is important -- what's important is research on reducing crime rates.

I think claiming a certain race commits disproportionate violent crime is like pointing out one gender commits disproportionate crime. True or not, it kinda doesn't matter, and when somebody brings it up you have to ask if their motivation is to reduce crime or grind an axe.
You can eliminate the vast majority of emissions by using hydrogen. Then the waste will be water instead of CO2. This is no longer hypothetical. Pilot plants have been successful enough that at least SSAB is investing billions into hydrogen-based steel production.
Fascinating, and now I learned another new thing! Thank you for sharing.
The snark is because the "issues" are misattributed and HTTP does not need to be replaced.

TCP is fine. HTTP is fine. We need to stop pretending HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are "upgrades" and just call it a separate protocol. Maybe someday chrome will be able to load from QUIC://news.ycombinator.com
> This sucks, but if we make the assumption that no destruction shall happen during an async context, it’s kind of fine (Oh boy, this will definitely make people jump out of their seat). On a side note, I have yet to see a proper solution to that, and I would like to avoid having double pointed types to solve the issue – if anyone has an idea, feel free to send me a message or send a pull request on the github repository.

An async context marks pointers to destroy rather than destroy them immediately (defer destruction by unqueueing them), and a dedicated thread periodically wakes and processes the queue of marked objects. It must should be processed on another thread because the object is by definition no longer reachable from the original thread since it's marked for destruction.

> As far as I know that’s usually a split-phase system: You get 110V between either phase and neutral, and 220V between the phases.

We Brazilians tend to call it "110V", but it's often a three-phase system with 127V between phase and neutral and 220V between phases.

Or sometimes it's 115V from phase to neutral and 230V from phase to phase (probably a split-phase system like you said). And in that case, us Brazilians would still call the lower voltage "110V", and the higher voltage "220V".

You can't trust a Brazilian when they say the voltage is "110V" or "220V". These numbers are only an approximation, which might have been correct for some places a century or two ago.

And yes, it's a mess. Check the official list at https://www2.aneel.gov.br/aplicacoes/srd/frmConcessionaria.c... (link found at https://www.gov.br/aneel/pt-br/centrais-de-conteudos/relator...), which shows which voltages can be found in each city for the whole country. For instance, take a look at the city of São Paulo in the state of São Paulo (yes, it's the same name for the state and its capital city, this is also the case for Rio de Janeiro):

- 115V / 230V
- 120V / 208V
- 127V / 220V
- 220V / 380V
- 220V / 440V

A Brazilian would say "110V" for all these lower voltages between 115V and 127V, and would say "220V" for all these voltages between 208V and 230V.

At least the frequency is always 60Hz (unlike the rest of South America, which uses 50Hz; we have to use HVDC links when importing or exporting electricity to the neighboring countries).

sometimes i wonder why the internet wound up this way.

was there some alternative development path or is this inherent in the physical network design?
It's an incomplete answer that's partially true and will become more true over time.

Software development will be effectively dead when enough systems can adequately code, define, and run themselves with minimal human design or operations attention. This is one of key (gradual) thresholds of the technological singularity.

To accomplish this will require far more than just code completion, but AI-operated requirements capture, architecture, feature prioritization, configuration management, operations management, capacity planning, debugging, and optimization.

Further still off in the future (perhaps 20 years), it will gradually eat down the stack to include algorithmically-designed programming languages and representations of languages, operating systems, and the ASIC silicon pipeline that run the things.

The pace of technology advancement is about to exceed human control and human understanding, and it also means that most people will be unemployed or under-employed with really shit jobs and very poor, while there will be a few trillionaires.

Education system is one key. Setting up quality of life is another.

SF, Boston, Seattle, NYC and DC have hub airports, making it easy to connect to the world, so they are relatively cosmopolitan.

The steel industry is one of the largest emitters of CO2, contributing 6%–7% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

That said, there's a difference between sourcing that carbon from fossil fuels, carbon "new" to the current land|sea|atmosphere cycle having been drawn up from where it was sequestered millions of years past, and carbon that is already part of the surface dynamic.

Major steel players, those in the billion tonne per annum mining and processing chain, are already going hard at replacing current steel making with several alternatives and have already built pilot plants to trial low | zero "new carbon" production techniques.

eg: Rio's BioIron: https://www.riotinto.com/en/news/stories/decarbonising-steel...

is one such trial, IIRC that link mentions others.
How do you handle proprietary data being leaked?
