There was no need to repeat the quote. We saw it the first time.

I don't see in this thread any sources related to your arguments.

The original source of that quote -- which I presumed you knew already, as I am sure you are very careful about these things, and you always drill down back to original sources -- was Tasheva's 2023 interview with Newsweek.

In that interview -- which is very easily findable -- she makes it clear that the deportations will be applied "only against non-Ukraine citizens who crossed into the country illegally since the annexation. There will be no mass deportations, but we will tackle the issue on a case-by-case basis."

There is also additional language stating that there will be no large-scale draconian punishments for minor collaborators. As she says: "They will be banned from holding government or official roles for a number of years, at least," Tasheva said of Ukrainian officials who will be lustrated. "Many will be held to account, but it won't be millions or even hundreds of thousands. It will be maybe 10,000."

That settles the matter, in my view. There is this weird 500k+ number she's dropping -- but this is a completely ancillary matter. And in no way overrides the clearly more important and authoritative statement we have above about the criteria for expulsion.

If anything it just means -- she's working from an inflated number. Which suggests to me she's uncritically accepting some number that her subordinates passed on to her, or she misread something. Which means you can say she's sloppy, unprofessional, or whatever. Or she just doesn't have a "feel" for math (you'd be surprised at how many people out there in the "people" space have almost no feeling for estimates of this kind, and simply lack a sense of smell as to whether a number they've been fed is reasonable or not).

I can't say, because I'm not her, and I don't speak for her. If you don't like the situation, go write her a hate letter if you want to. But I just don't think that one erroneous number means anything, by itself. And definitely I don't buy argument that it provides some kind of "smoking gun" that proves the Zelenskiy government is planning an organized expulsion of pre-2014 residents, or of persons who engaged in minor forms of collaboration. Let alone that the proposed policies constitute a plan for "ethnic cleansing".

Because there's simply no evidence for that view.
I assume the original comment was calling for a revolution
Means testing does the opposite of progressive marginal tax rates. It cancels them out by increasing the marginal tax rate on people who make less money, by the amount of the benefit phase out. There is no point in incurring the complexity of doing both at the same time just to have them delete each other.

Another way of saying this is that a flat marginal tax rate combined with a fixed-amount universal tax credit (UBI) is a progressive tax system. But it's a much simpler progressive tax system which is harder to game and doesn't result in unintended nonsense like phase out cliffs or higher marginal rates on lower income people than higher income people.

Celebrities have some right to publicity, so in this case she could argue that they were watering down the value of her as an actress by widely selling an unauthorized sound-alike.

The laws around this aren't strong (which is why her response pointed out the need for legislation), and as I mentioned OpenAI would have been in a much stronger position if they didn't directly reference the film publicly several times. One could argue that they were using the film and her role to promote their product.

This is exactly what Mitt Romney was referring to during the 2012 election when he said he wasn't worried about the very rich, and he wasn't worried about the very poor. The truth is if you are making $20k/yr in income you're likely in a better position day-to-day than someone making $40k/yr, especially if you're raising a family and especially if you live in a city with functioning social services. He was excoriated in the press for saying he didn't care about poor people, which isn't exactly what he said and isn't at all what he meant.

AI in education will be the FSD in driving. Everyone thinks we are very close and the tech is just about there. 10 years later we will have made some progress but nowhere near the utopia promised.

The problem is how you get there.

1 and 2 are integers. '(1 2) is a list. None of them are strings, but + helpfully converts them to strings because ClojureScript is leaking some of JavaScript's wat behavior.
It looks like OnStar and other systems are on a dedicated fuse. Pulling that fuse would disable remote access to data. This would not disable onboard logging. Real location privacy on a journey would also require stashing your phone and toll box in a shielded bag and avoiding license plate readers.
But if you own the hardware there's nothing to legally prevent you from severing the power to whatever sensors/hardware onstar is using, no?
I can clarify. an "easy" website can still do its job and get you traction, because the website design and architecture is not going to affect your product as long as you follow the simple rules. The website is not your primary product, it is an ad to your actual product.

There are a few outliers like Vampire Survivors, but for the most part a simple game will not penetrate this market, and it is the product you're selling. Unless you're going to try to be like that dev that makes a simple game every month, for years on end, you're probably won't succeed making "simple" games alone (even then, you can argue that the primary audience is not a traditional gamer by that point).
That claim that news outlets in general are free to express their opinions without censorship is unfortunately, not really true in practise - most outlets may express opinions but might face sanctions, bans or other forms of censorship, depending on the topic of the opinions.
NDTV has faced multiple such actions in the past (one example: https://www.dw.com/en/ridiculous-and-arbitrary-indian-journa...)
Another topic with heavy censorship is the ground situation in Kashmir. Social media and internet bans have been common since a long time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Kashmir).

The problem is that means testing programs often have a cliff where you go from qualifying to not qualifying instead of being a gradual ramp-off. In other words, earning $1 more can remove $100 in support from the government instead of something more reasonable like only removing 10c at the beginning and up to $0.9 if you’re already on your way out.

The common criticism of means testing is that more money is spent on the bureaucracy implementing the testing than if you just took the money you otherwise spent on bureaucracy and gave it directly without means testing.
I believe labor is worth whatever the employer can get away with. As such the value of the cheapest labor is what society allows companies to get away with. An employee's wages should be high enough to live off of and this should be enforced by having high labor standards.
I was speaking to the idea as to why these people haven't receives lawsuits about the injuries occurring to people on the beach. It is because the beaches are public, which means that it isn't an equivalent comparison to land that is private but which people might be given some sort of right to roam on.
He said:
"I think multimodal chatbots are already having subjective experiences."

You changed this in your paraphrasing to something along the lines of "I think multimodal chatbots are already good simulations of subjective experiences".

I don't think the meaning is the same. A simulation of the weather wouldn't be expected to blow my house down. It isn't interchangable with the word weather.

I know many people will have problems with this post, but I am posting as information for clorjure-ophiles. Not reasons, but personal reasons why I don't do Clojure and will not try it.

1. When I read about Clojure (repeatedly) I like it. I am especially interested in transducers. I even built a half baked transducer engine in JavaScript using generators. There is clearly something here of value here. Any system that can produce transducers is worth learning.

2. I spent too many years of my life on Java. It was okay until someone wrote a thing in php (!!) in a day that would be have taken at least a month in Java. Maybe two. I understand the "good" of Java, but for me personally, the cost of that good is just incredible tedium. This is personal and I understand that.

3. However, as soon as I get to the part of installing Clojure where you install a JVM, I start hearing voices that say "It ain't me babe" and "Just say no to Java". PTSD?

For a while there was Clojure-script and I started working with that, but it seemed to fall off the edge of the world.

I will happily try Clojure again if it will compile itself or if it does not require the installation of a JVM. [ And last but not least of irrational reactions- anything associated with Oracle is to be avoided like the plague. sorry]

[Edit: then I saw the stuff about Babashka so I will give that a try]
Thanks for the reply, I don't mean to be discouraging! I totally believe people do this, I'm saying they shouldn't. There are other issues as well. Once production data is floating around different environments, it will be easy to lose track of. Then the first GDPR delete request comes in. Was this data synthetic? Was it real? I think Joe has a copy on his laptop, he's on vacation?

It gets messy. It also doesn't solve the main 'unsolvable' issue with production data: scale. It is difficult to test some changes locally because developers often don't have access to databases large enough that would show issues before getting to production. At a certain size, this is the #1 killer of deployments.

What’s the use case for that though? Nobody writes shell because they want a shell language. It’s written purely out of necessity because that’s the lowest common denominator installed on all systems. Something that Amber here provides a potential exit path out of.

My wife's jaw literally dropped when she first heard from me about the kind of fuckery-duckery Microsoft is trying to pull here. She's been an Apple girl since forever, no fan of Microsoft, and not particularly tech-savvy, but she knew exactly the implications of Recall and immediately figured out that it was a whole new level of awful, even for Microsoft.
First, I just did what you asked for. You said I needed to prove Hamas does not allow freedom of the press. Well, proven, you even bloody agree. Now, of course, you change subject, and blame Israel for supposedly lacking press freedom. Which is not what you were arguing about. You were arguing Hamas allows press freedom.

You do this after pointing out that if one country lacks press freedom, that doesn't make it OK for another to lack it too. Great.

You are not fairly discussing this issue. Not that that wasn't already clear. Everybody knows what hamas is and what they do. NOTHING excuses their behavior, and it is not comparable to what Israel does by any moral measure. Not in press freedom. Not in anything.

Second, this is false moral equivalence. Hamas beats up and even kills journalists to get them under control. Israel "pressures". Some Israeli (NOT the Israeli state) have "smear campaigns" (ie. a few posts on twitter) about those journalists. Some Isreali politicians call for the justice system to go after those journalists, but the justice system doesn't actually do that. And even if it did, it STILL would be VERY far from what Hamas does. There is no moral comparison possible.

Hamas suppress the press "problem" by what any honest human being calls "murder". Just like they solve any other problem.

What Hamas does, obviously IS INFINITELY WORSE than what Israel does, to the point that comparisons are absurd. This is equating what the Taliban does to girls' education (ie. bomb school, poison students, massacre their own people, send in the police to beat students) with the denial of the "right" for teachers to wear headscarves. Whatever your opinion about both issues, they are totally incomparable.

No, people should shoulder the burden and when a business model is untenable, there should be a correction which is instantiated by a lack of labor. It's neither the company nor the governments responsibility to dictate what the market will bear, only follow the optimization curve that the charter is architected to. A lot of the problems we see in the modern market are a product of well-intentioned interventions, namely things like welfare that allow for low-wage workers to sustain a long term position at a job that underpays them which is ultimately zero-sum to those individuals which it is supposed to support.

Where interventions need applied to companies, namely conglomerates, they are not and virtually nobody seems to want to discuss this, but it's the bull in the China shop because these monoliths have a unidirectional charter toward profit and infinite coffers by which to affect policy change and ensure that margins can remain relatively extreme without regard to consequences which either the individual or the society in which they operate suffer.
While I see your point from my human perspective, what we call logic is directly dependent on the product of the system it emerges from, meaning our brains are inherently limited, hence cannot be trusted. Cogito, ergo sum is a meaningless statement in this context. Take quantum mechanics for example. Makes all our logic go away.
“Wealth” is becoming a tricky term. Bill Gates is approximately a million times richer than I am, but for many things he can’t get anything like a million times the value I can. He can spend 1000x what I do on clothes, but I won’t be appreciably colder or less comfortable than he is. His house might cost 100x what my apartment would go for, but again, it isn’t 100x nicer. He can eat steak and lobster for every meal, but I don’t go hungry. I’m not trying to portray myself as being the other end of the wealth spectrum from Bill Gates. There are people far below me economically, and wealth inequality is definitely a thing. But AI tutors and teachers will serve to reduce the gap, not increase it. Notably, Bill Gates and I use equivalent phones and computers to within a factor of 2.

The other issues are of course critically important, but are caused by more than the wealth gap.
That isn't the case for most of the country. Page 5 of the following link shows it by state.

This implies that government expenditures are based on actual revenues, and that $x in additional revenue is divided proportionally to all government services. Neither of these is true.

user igorramazanov gave a great list. If one has trauma such as consistent nightmares avoid reading the "Body keeps the score", it is about cptsd and it is too strong and triggering leave for later. cptsd is relevant to attachment problems but not directly. let me also add another tangentially relevant but very good book about borderline personality disorder "I hate you, don't leave me'

After someone has realized that not knowing why he dislikes all his partners for no reason after while is due to trauma healing can start. It takes 3-5 years of therapy and a secure partner through that journey.
Some of the most beautiful moments in science - for me, anyway - come about when there's a refresh on perspective. You'll have something like the ptolemaic system, or phlogiston, or the luminiferous ether, and a tiny push in perception reveals a bigger picture, a deeper understanding.

That push is often subtle, but incontrovertible.

Modern cosmology really feels like it's on the cusp of something like that today - perhaps in how spatial dimensions emerge, or some other thing - underlying our more stolid mental models.
Not sure how this economic illiterate Twitter post has nearly 100 upvotes within an hour. This is not how a subsidy works. I'm sure Amazon execs would be happy for the government to end their "subsidy", which would increase the demand for employment and downwardly pressure wages. Just because Jeff Bezo's company is primarily a retail company with lower margins than Dan Price's higher margin B2B company doesn't mean that Bezos is any more responsible for people's welfare than Dan Price is.

The problem of these bad economic takes is that they make the assumption that if only these greedy companies paid employees more money, all of society's problems would be fixed. We already know that this isn't true. Americans already has the highest incomes in the world. The San Francisco residents have highest incomes in America, but continue to have the worst rates of homelessness in America. Throwing more money won't solve fundamentally broken healthcare and housing systems.
And presuming you avoid 100% of undefined behavior, which I've never seen a non-trivial C program succeed at. C is way too complicated in the real world. You don't want C, you want a language that actually gives defined semantics to all combinations of language constructs.
Amazing open source project! I can see pretty broad application to basically every application developers stack as they're building out their tools, but also working with real world production data in developer environments that don't break compliance. Great work, Evis & Nick!

Weight of a single component isn’t the only consideration. Having less heat output on the launch pad is a real benefit. It may take a 200 year mission for the weight to balance out, but having less variation in output is a benefit on day 0.

Further there’s many reasons why someone managing a project may say no to 10% extra plutonium even if the project could benefit from a longer lasting power supply.
Sure, it’s expected that you won’t hit problems if you’re using the paradigms that existed when the IDL was defined. On the other hand, trying to apply Sun RPC after everything became object-oriented…well, that’s when we blew it up and invented CORBA. So I’m just saying the cycle is likely to continue with this approach. In other words, come back in ten years and see how it aged.

The alternative is to use something so simple it can’t become outdated. Dumb down the interface rather than making the interop omniscient. (Kind of like the dumb network principle.)
Completely disagree.

Async as a paradigm has probably created billions of dollars in that it's allowed many many many developers to reasonably scale beyond what they could've otherwise.
I think the research is good, but it's disappointing that they hype it by claiming it's going to help their basically entirely fictional "AI safety" project, as if the bits in their model are going to come alive and eat them.
First we had deep learning - i.e fully connected layers with some data conditioning in between. This kicked off the current ML ecosystem, when people figured out stuff like auto encoders.

Then we had RNN, which have the output fed back into the input. This gave the networks some form of memory.

Then we had Transformers, which are basically parallel processors. I.e generate 3 outputs in parallel, multiply them together. This was basically just a better form of compression applicable to everything.

The general trend here is that someone discovers some architecture that works out nicely and then everyone builds something around it. This is probably going to be the future. Google has some neat things with automated robotics, OpenAi has their A* stuff thats supposed to be "accurate" instead of probabilistic.

Then there is the hardware piece, which I know much less about, but hoping companies like Tinycorp or Tenstorrent give us a way to reliably run something like GPT3 full parameter model at home.
Nothing I think. But I can see why some people will find the opposite.

I mean, I've never been in a skid that wasn't a direct result of driving like an idiot and have never crashed due to loss of traction. Probably the worst case was in my old BMW 2002 where I was making a left turn at an intersection, on wet roads, sideways, and instead of panicking I just gave it more gas until the rear end came around.
