As a fellow dancer, this hit me really hard. Growing up, my parents didn't believe in ADHD. I experienced years of burnout and distress going through school, university, and the workplace. Only later in life did I begin to understand that I was a dancer, stuck without a stage to perform on. Thank you for your vulnerability, Essa. I'm sure many will relate and find meaning in this post.
IMHO one of the worst things about the current state of the web, especially if you're browsing on a device like an iPhone which doesn't have uBlock Origin.

It used to be, you open a website, you can view the content. Now it's more like you open a website, get an overlay popup, take 30 seconds to solve the dark pattern logic puzzle of disabling tracking, then you view the content. Every. Single. Time.
US culture is very much driven by competition.

If China is winning wars, has more influence on world, has better tech, better infra, higher GDP, higher GDP per capita.

Americans will get their shit together to compete.

The problem with US is that we're too complacent. SF has billions of dollars of VC money pumped in, house prices are astronomic. SF is wildly successful despite the shortcomings. Homelessness, crime, e.t.c doesn't matter. If the wealth of the upper-class is preserved, they are fine with it. They are voting for what they want.

China is the best thing to have happened to US.

I wish the best of prosperity for China and Chinese citizens so we in US have competition and inspiration to what is possible.

Same for Europe, get your A-game together. Bring back a new renaissance period.

It seems people are disagreeing with you, maybe because your statement is short and seen as political. However, you do have a valid point. Even in socially funded systems there has to be a cutoff on what care will be funded and what will not based on the views of society and the potential costs vs benefits (including probability of sucess).

A very interesting example on how social views influence healthcare decisions and costs can actually be seen in the US system via the Amish communities, the church health funding, and their views on medical interventions.

It does monetize them (us). It’s an advertising platform, just one with a very narrow set of clients (companies ycombinator invests in)

What it isn’t, is dependent on an ad marketplace. It’s more like a industry digest published by an investment firm active in that industry.
As a non-EU citizen that is affected by this, I find the entire idea stupid and they're annoying as heck. Every website I go to has a stupid cookie banner. It's beyond ridiculous. This should be a simple setting in the browser that I can override per site and never see a cookie banner again. This is a perfect example of government overreach done wrong.
Read „DoIt“ all the time as long as I read the entire article from top to bottom. But when I browsed to their homepage the font was different and I finally read Dolt with L, instead of DoIt, as in do-it. Ups.
Munsell is similar, yes. RAL is conventionally used for varnishes, powder-coats, and (sometimes) general plastics. I'm not familiar with Munsell's attitudes towards use, though. RAL is notable in being pretty lax about casual use of their color system.

If the fit was due to a lucky subset of weights you could have train smaller networks many times instead of using many times bigger network.

So it must be something more. Like increased opportunity to create best solution out of large number of random lucky parts.

I think there should be way more research on neural pruning. After all it's what our brains do to reach the correct architecture and weights during our development.
I can understand no antibiotics or vaccines. New Zealand is notoriously heavy handed.

But I can't understand no insurance. Part of me feels like they forwent even trying to get insurance, despite the obvious risk of potentially having to burn your hives. Or got quoted and decided against it.

Just a moment of googling found an insurer immediately...

So now I feel a bit less "The state is screwing me over" and a bit more "I didn't get insurance, got burned, and now want to socialize the loss with a heart-strings story."

AI-generated content won't change anything, everybody has been using AI to make videos, in post-production, what will change is that there will be "mostly AI generated" content.

Algorithms from Platforms will always filter out content that people don't want to see.

Facebook/Instagram will definitely keep increasing its MAU, but usage will drop and people will focus on higher value entertainment (think Netflix, real life experiences etc).

The fact people tend to use their Tiktoks and reels a lot, it's because they are poor or don't have anything more interesting to do, you'd see people consuming less, but still being active and doing whatever is new and interesting.

The "web" as some tech people perceive it and have nostalgia, like searching through a search engine to get to a page and content has been dead since a long time. Most people don't use that way, they use the internet through their phones and typically directly from Apps.

I haven't really used the Ionide plugin for VSCode, but I did make pretty liberal use of the Emacs plugin (well, Spacemacs), and it was pretty solid. I used it almost exclusively for about a year; I don't know if the Emacs plugin uses Ionide behind the scenes, but I thought it was pretty decent overall.

Still, once Rider got a few updates and was stable, it was kind of hard to go back. I'm a pretty dedicated Vim dude normally, but for a lot of "enterprisey" things like .NET and Java the ability to do smart refactoring of lots of files and integrated debuggers really do become a pretty substantial value-add for me.

So there's the old e-privacy directive which I agree was poorly thought out, but cookie banners in their current form were implemented by companies as a reaction to GDPR which has no thoughts on cookies - fingerprinting is equivalent to cookies under the GDPR.
There is no such requirement. The GDPR allows for the transfer of personal data to non-EU countries, provided that the data controller can demonstrate that the rights of the data subjects will be respected.

I don't think it's a law of nature that GPT-generated text must be this discordant and obvious. This is simply the current state of the art, soon to be eclipsed by improved models that are more difficult or impossible to discern, because we have the combination of mathematics, underlying technology, and economic incentive to improve the models.

“Thirteen Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) are associated with the European Union.

OCTs are neither part of the EU territory nor of the EU single market.”

> adding words but now flipping a coin immediately after adding it

Edit: I thought your formulation was correct but not really:

We flip the coin after adding, but we also flip the coin even if we didn't add the word (because it was already there). This is subtle!

wrong:

if k not in mem:
mem += [k]
if np.random.rand() > p:
mem.remove(k)

wrong:

if k not in mem:
mem += [k]
else:
if np.random.rand() > p:
mem.remove(k)

correct:

if k not in mem:
mem += [k]
if k in mem: # not the same than "else" here
if np.random.rand() > p:
mem.remove(k)

correct:

if k not in mem:
mem += [k]
if np.random.rand() > p:
mem.remove(k)

If it was a swastika or the n-word I would be very concerned about the nature of the community in that neighbourhood and if I'm in danger. But in terms of how i'd deal with kids seeing it, I'd take it as a teachable moment. I don't have to hide my kids from everything I don't believe in (besides they probably see crazy shit online anyway), I just need to teach them how to deal with it. Anyway, theres a wall near where i live where someone has made a massive mural making a political statement. People keep defacing it with the opposite opinion, and people keep painting back over that. If you really need the authorities to tell your community that swastika graffiti should make them angry and call them to action, then your community is screwed already. Either way, yeah just as we have laws to deal with incitement to violence and hatespeech we can have that with walls if you'd prefer, it just has to be sth actually extreme and targeted.
The Medicare Bubble Has Burst
That was my first thought too except it’s not organic certification. Anything going to the EU would have to be on the food additive whitelist and be generally recognized as safe in the US, since the antibiotics almost certainly end up in the honey.

The penalties for violating that can be pretty severe too. I.e. if one regulator tests and finds the antibiotics, they might temporarily ban imports of NZ honey altogether until the outbreak has passed or the antibiotic is approved.

In summary, the two "clown shoes" vulnerabilities found in 2022 causes the (cryptography professional) author to not trust their protocol development.

> But please abandon Olm and Megolm and work with the cryptography community to build something actually secure. MLS is a good start.

Since it's somewhat burried in the comments on that Gist: Matrix is working on MLS: https://matrix.org/blog/2023/07/a-giant-leap-with-mls/

I'm curious how much resources are spent on MLS.

> @ara4n: Also, this issue only applied to file transfers and secret storage in Matrix - not Olm or Megolm traffic.

When the author just ranted about Olm, arguing that it was other parts of the protocol that were vulnerable is a bold strategy. :)

> @ara4n: For context: Olm is a clone of Signal’s Double Ratchet, and Megolm is the protocol used to exchange message keys for group communication over Olm. Room management is done via the Matrix layer (not Olm or Megolm), which doesn’t yet authenticate events by the user.

It would be interesting to hear how Signal solved this, in comparison.

(I'll continue to use Matrix.)
I think you're right, but the issue might be local minima which a better optimiser wouldn't help with much. A reason a larger network might work better is that there are fewer local minima in a higher dimension too.
Fair enough, I only don't know if I agree with:

> although you can almost completely eliminate ambiguity with words

But maybe I'm just not skilled enough to do so :)
That’s how I take it. Antibiotics for AFB were approved in the US in 2016 (based on Google-fu), so it may be NZ hasn’t caught up or has other reasons to keep pharmaceuticals out of beekeeping.
Holy crap, can you imagine rewatching your favorite shows from different perspectives?
The last study I saw was about 15% for ways detectable client side (e.g. loading ad tracking scripts before the banner is interacted with or despite negative interaction).

Probably a bit higher when you consider server side tracking and those who make up some not-legally-valid claims of legitimate interests.

As a college student: bold of you to assume I have any money at all.

Also while I do like the software VMware and proxmox has, and I would donate to developers if I had spare money, I don't so I just keep a list for future me, and try to convey my thanks in the meantime.

On the other hand: broadcom can gargle my balls, I will not be paying them a single cent unless its my last option. They killed a good product, and are like the hug of death for acquired company's.

I would have less issue paying money if I knew the software wasn't being overinflated or money was actually going to the developers. Iv paid for solid works and other stuff cuz I see its value and use it, but it was also a good product I could as a student.

Now EDA software is insanely expensive and so my only option is openlane,so I can struggle trying to learn this hobby

Technically true but they weren't documenting everything, measuring everything inside and outside your home, keeping it indefinitely, broadcasting it to the rest of the world, and making it available to law enforcement at any time.

The "lack of privacy" was a small scale, limited situation and falls apart now.

Exactly, nobody does this well; even Amazon doesn't, as it isn't their focus. Let's all be frank: third-party sellers on Amazon pay a lot.

Those brands they could do logistics for would probably pay them much less than what Amazon's cut, here lies the opportunity.

So, it's a market for grabs that they kickstarted and showed that it can be really profitable.
It's amazing that Pantone and Ral managed to get away with copyrighting something so fundemantal. Surely these should be international standards, like centremetres or Celsius.

This part of the article seems to imply that there are sterilization methods that aren't burning down the entire thing. Which I find a bit doubtful as spores are usually very hard to kill.

+ I like the right to be able download my personal data dump on platforms

- cookie banners are a total pointless waste of everyone's time

- institutions and organizations use "data protection" and "privacy" as generic gaslighting argument for things they can't do and/or lack competence in and as an excuse for keeping their 20y+ old processes

- consumer data is no way safer than before, just the means of collection have changed

- the law is so interpretable (e.g. "what is exactly PII data? IP addresses? the evercookie? what is an evercookie?") that, without blindly copying implementations from other sites, you'll probably end up in a grey area

- they started using GDPR for politically motivated unrelated prosecution. e.g. the first thing Italy did when ChatGPT went hype was using GDPR to quickly block the service. the case is only somewhat related because of scraped data for learning, however GDPR in my interpretation is about personal data.

So all in all is it worth it? I guess no. But YMMV.
Given your interest in C++/CLI, I wanted to give some clarification in regards to its relationship with .NET platform as a whole.

Indeed, there have been historical influences from Midori, C++/CLI, CoreRT[0], .NET Native/UWP and work done that got merged into earlier releases of .NET Core (up until 3.1), in particular, Span<T> and compiler optimizations.

However, pretty much all work done since Core 3.1 is independent, rather than "migrating of features from". The last and only exception would be NativeAOT which still uses project RedHawk name in some places in the code that haven't been renamed, referring to Midori and .NET Native (because NativeAOT has started with a big chunk of the codebase from the latter). But NativeAOT aside, pretty much all .NET features are exposed through IL and surrounding metadata, making it possible for any language to target these (rather than being related to C++/CLI), even if initially designed with C# in mind.

As far as I'm aware, C++/CLI itself uses MSVC to compile C++ code and then just generates bindings and glue code with other .NET assemblies, embedding itself into final .NET assembly produced that would use it. It did not target CIL with C++, like that new project for targeting CLR with Rust does, but rather CTS which is a quite old concept at this point. It is also limited to Windows only[1].

So the more accurate comparison would be between projects that produce .NET assemblies containing IL and projects that produce LLVM bitcode files containing LLVM-IR.

[0] https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen... search for CoreRT and this is pretty much the only reference you can find in terms of work migrated from earlier projects
