Sure, but that's pretty different from saying it "just makes sense" to be a hostile actor.
>you have the right to camp for one night in a spot and you can't have a tent pitched until one hour before sunset and it must be down by one hour after sunrise.

If you have land in a desirable location, I fear your at best one tiktok away from people coming to your property each night to camp.

I think right to roam is an interesting idea, but the camping part should probably just be left out, or the fine minimal enough where if you made a best effort to stay out of sight and out of the way (as you should) no one would care. And if you got 'caught' you don't head to prison.
No, it’s pretty telling of the state of the intellectual discourse when we’re still getting “we could just turn it off” level responses, so appeals to knowledgeable scientific authorities is the most convincing for people who have strong opinions but haven’t done even 30 minutes of grappling with the case made by those they already dismissed. For the more well-read, there are plausible threads:

If his project was just shoddy scientifically, that wouldn't be an issue. I'm sure 90% of the projects are like that. He committed deliberate fraud, stealing other people's work (including past kid winners!), and won 50k for it. That's not "throwing something together" it's deliberate cheating.

> enforcement isn’t as strong of a predictor of shoplifting as poverty/inequality.

I agree because there's still some morality left. But morality itself can change, and if deviance is normalized by lack of enforcement we might very well end up in a situation where nobody thinks twice about shoplifting, just like when it comes to white-collar crime which is already normalized and keeps being rewarded by the market again and again, so it's not really surprising that more and more "blue-collar" crime is happening.

> White collar and petty theft are very different

Why? Are you saying stealing a 3£ chocolate bar is bad, but doing the same in software via a hidden fee or some arcane clause in the ToS that nobody read (and thus did not agree to) is acceptable? In both cases someone is out 3£.
Uhh, yes, I'm familiar. I write Clojure for a living.

What's misleading is touting the acronym "REPL", instead of touting why that's important. Everyone who's used to the weaker "REPLs" of other languages don't understand what the big deal is, because they think they already know, so it's important to move past the acronym when explaining its value.

> there's no reason for our mind maps to meaningfully differ here

Yes there is.

If you think all training runs converge to the same bits given the same output size, I would again stress that the visual dimensions analogy is poetics and extremely tortured.

If you're making the weaker claim that generally concepts sort themselves into a space and they're generally sorted the same way if we have the same training data. Or rotational symmetry means any differences don't matter. Or location doesn't matter at all...we're in poetics.

Something that really sold me when I was in a similar mindset was word2vec's king - man + woman = queen wasn't actually real or in the model. Just a way of explaining it simply.

Another thought from my physics days: try visualizing 4D. Some people do claim to, after much effort, but in my experience they're unserious, i.e. I didn't see PhDs or masters students in my program claiming this. No one tries claiming they can see in 5D.

I just spent months getting an android/iOS mobile app up and running after it was abandoned by a previous dev group. What a pain. Just got it into the store last night.

Mobile apps are their own kinda beast. Docker would maybe be helpful if we could publish PWAs to the app stores. Even that sounds like a stretch though.

But Docker and current mobile app pipelines don't have any overlap. They're for different environments.

For some people freedom means being able to violently deny others to roam the land, to deny access lakes, to deny foraging for berries and mushrooms and even to deny them access to the coastline and the ocean.

For them, freedom might entail being able to deny these basic modes of being e.g. based on monetary worth, social standing or even ethnicity (like country clubs in the US).

If that's what you consider freedom, I don't think I'm going to be able to convince you otherwise.
Because DNA won't tell you whether the genetically-genius person smashed their head on a rock and is now totally unfit for your high-paying engineering job.

I.e. it won't tell you the types of things that interviews are designed to suss out.

Delivering a smooth experience in receipt processing is surprisingly complex. There are numerous factors to consider, such as:

- Multiple languages: Handling receipts in various languages like English, French, Spanish, Chinese, etc.

- Multiple currencies: Processing receipts from different countries with various currencies.

- Multiple file formats: Managing receipts in diverse formats (PDF, images, etc.).

Despite these challenges, Keepy's pricing is just a small fraction of what manual data entry would cost.
Tom7 implemented some of this with his Learnfun and Playfun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOCurBYI_gY) -
It looks for lexicographical changes to bytes in memory (i.e., one byte seems to almost always increase, and then when it suddenly decrements, a neighboring byte is incremented) as a way of calculating memory location for increasing values (score, x-position), and similarly detects bytes that generally seem to decrease (lives).

It then tries to play the game, choosing inputs that increase the values that should be increasing (move right, gain lives), or tries not to decrease the values that are decreasing (don't die).
Hear, hear. Go back far enough and it's stolen land, insofar as any land can be owned. Entitled folks ranting about "their" property is kinda gross. You were granted that right by society, through ancestral collective agreements and cooperation wrt currency, labour, etc - not some divine right, privilege, or "hard work". Many times, killing or threatening people was how it was acquired not too long ago - and it's not too late for that to happen again (see Ukraine).

There are other ways to organize land-property rights. i.e. leased for some lifetime period, to be returned to the commons thereafter. There is only so much on this planet, and the richest individuals/corporations will gobble it up before too long; then what?
We just had this same story yesterday.

'ASML and TSMC Can Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan'

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40426843

Besides, who really cares? China isn't going to invade taiwan for silly companies like TSMC. If it invaded, it would be to take back their territory. What's with the constant artificial media blitz regarding tsmc? China's aim for reunification dates back decades before tsmc existed. Also, it would be nice if 'news' companies stated who ( public or private ) is sponsoring their articles.
Because solving new, current problems is more valuable than re-solving old ones? Is the new thing good? Yes. Is the old thing good? Yes. Both can be true. And, there is some value in better solutions to old problems.

But if you're looking for "reason" I think that falls on not re-doing the same thing over and over again.

This seems like a case where a more generous take would be productive. The page itself is a tool that intercepts drags, it seems like an oversight, not intentional, that it also intercepts drags on the help page.
You're not wrong, but such is the way with nearly anything autodidactic. Learning how to find exercises that are challenging enough to actually learn something is a skill that I'm not going to pretend that I've mastered, but I would like to think I've gotten reasonably good with.

I was a college dropout for quite awhile but was still working as a software engineer, and while that's definitely not something I would recommend to anyone (it makes stuff way harder), it did have the advantage of making me pretty decent at teaching myself stuff, simply because my career depended on me being able to play with the "big boys" on an intellectual level.

For software it's comparatively easier though, because you can just have a project to do X, and if it's complicated enough you'll likely touch on a lot of CS concepts, even some you didn't directly self-select. Math (particularly more abstract math) is harder simply because it's much harder to practice; there aren't a ton of tangible "math projects" that you can hack on.

The closest way I've been able to practice it is by using Isabelle. I didn't use ChatGPT to learn that initially, since I learned how to use it before ChatGPT was released; I read through the "Concrete Semantics" free book and did those examples, so I guess that of proves your point more than mine.

“Caniuse” equivalent for LLMs depending on machine specs would be extremely useful!
> This would virtually make inference free right?

Not really. Inference is never "free" unless you cache the result (which is just a static output) or unless you reduce complexity (which yields procedurally less-usable outputs).
The policy needs to be reasonable, unless you want home owners taking matters in their own hands (you don't).

Policy or not, seeing a steady stream of strangers "roam" through your property next to your (vulnerable) family members will generally do more harm than good.
Also, how would you deal with unintended property damage?

> Am I allowed to hop over fences so long as I stay X meters away from buildings?

A reasonable policy would probably specify at least 50-100 meters from buildings, which would outlaw roaming in suburbia.

I've written some fairly complicated programs meant to run on a very wide range of Awks, and while there are minor differences between dialects, it isn't hard to stick to the POSIX-standard core language.
Understand I don't disagree with you in any meaningful sense, and it may be more of a regional issue (I live in the South), but quite frequently these kinds of excuses are trundled out when what was actually meant is some combination of "the poors disgust me" or "I'm terrified of brown people". :/
Really cool that plucking the strings near the edges gives a different timbre than plucking in the middle.
My point is that you can't determine anything about 2 or 3 from internet drama, it's harmful to pretend that you can (<-- I don't mean you personally, of course, but anyone), and people do it for reasons of their own that have nothing to do with the family they're ostensibly interested in.

The same goes for any family. It's just that people tend to direct this energy at celebrities, because that's how the celebrity system works in our culture.

(I'm not arguing 1 and 4 because they're beside the point I was making)
4th July — during the Euros. Between the round of 16 and the quarter finals.

If he had waited until 11th July, that would have been between the semis and the final.

Conclusion: he backs England to play in the quarter finals, but not to get as far as the final.

I think a meaningful number of English folk will subconsciously have their vote swayed by how well England do in a football competition, yes.
>Inequality isn't the correct term. It's poverty, drug abuse and mental illness.

Inequality is absolutely the correct term. The rich wield their means to exploit the poor. Without the rich, the poor are not exploited and poverty, drug abuse, and mental illness all decline. Every. Single. Time.

I suspect they think of it like a lottery ticket - there's a small but slim chance that Boeing eventually spends enough billions fixing it that it successfully flies. All NASA has to do is staff enough folks to go "nope fix that too"; the lion's share of the costs are Boeing's.
REALLY looking forward to trying this. Mixpanel has the most obscure pricing model of any SAAS i've ever tried to integrate with... When we 'upgraded' from their free tier to a paid tier we were DOWNGRADED from 20M events a month to 10K events a month. Does that make any sense??? They talk about 'transparent and easy to understand pricing', but immediately after I upgraded to a paid plan we were downgraded from 20M events to 10K events.

We actually immediately cancelled our paid plan and went back to their free tier. To match what they provide in their free tier (20M events), the cost is $2,289 USD / month (no thanks). https://mixpanel.com/pricing/plan-builder/?dcv=growth

So basically we can either pay $2,289 USD / month, or pay nothing, and still get the same number of tracked events. Just bizzare... We've moved on, and I've been on the search for an alternative ever since.
> sociopathic and we haven't figured out a good way to deal with this

Great, so let's start dealing with this rather than continuing the double-standard where the big guys are allowed & encouraged to behave antisocially while the little guys are shamed for it.

Until this is addressed, I'm not particularly surprised to see the little guys start acting anti-socially too; it makes perfect sense in the system of incentives we currently live in. Some people are lucky enough to survive while acting morally, but I don't think it's fair to be angry at those who don't instead of addressing the systemic problem that encourages antisocial behavior, both individual & corporate.
Quantized 4/5-bit 8b models with medium-short context might be shippable. Still, it’s going to require a nice GPU for all that RAM. Plus you would have to support AMD—I would experiment with llama.cpp as it runs on many architectures.

Hope your game doesn’t have a big texture budget.
I'm not sure people should have unrestricted rights to roam over private property, but where public land is fully enclosed by private land there should be an allowance made (or compulsory footpath introduced) to grant access.

I think there is a similar issue in the US with land that is only accessible on touching corners. https://www.onxmaps.com/onx-access-initiatives/corner-crossi...
To be fair, the threat of lawsuit from situations like this is effectively nill. I think people hold up the idea of this kind of lawsuit as an excuse to do the thing they wanted to do in the first place.

You've probably heard of the story of the burglar who fell down the stairs while robbing someone's home and successfully sued them for the medical bills. What you won't find is the case number because it never happened.

For any such case to not be laughed out of the courts the plaintiff would need to show malicious intent on your part. Avoid setting man traps or actually shooting people and the legal liability is completely within reason.

The design of companies (especially limited liability companies, but many other aspects as well) diffuses the moral/aesthetic implications of decision making while concentrating the fiduciary implications, thus leading to behavioral patterns which are pretty inhuman.

I'm not arguing that there are not some bad actors - this is clearly and obviously true. I think the legal system should act in whatever way optimizes its goals (presumably, the flourishing of living things or something) and I tend to think the punitive impulse typically doesn't do that. It's main appeal is that it feels good to imagine someone getting punished.

> so what happens when Palestinians inevitably elect Hamas representatives to parliament and /or presidency ?

They probably will (though Palestine's existing ICC membership and the top leadership of Hamas already having ICC warrants being sought and the ICC investigation continuing would likely have a substantial impact on which Hamas voices even have that opportunity, which eventuality, as much as the potential to embarrass Israel [I don't think they expect any Israeli target to actually see justice] was quite likely a factor in the more moderate Fatah leadership of Palestine joining the ICC and actively seeking their investigations of international crimes in Palestine in the first place.)

But since independence will have been established, they'll have to deliver on boring day to day stuff, without constant Israeli abuses like the cross-border sniping and the vetoing of all-Palestine elections that would include places currently administered by Israeli occupation authorities, etc., etc., etc.

New states formed by regional/ethnic separatist/independence movements often elect the political wing(s) of the group(s) that fought the prior government/occupier if independence is acheived after substantial armed struggle. This is usually far less of a problem than in actually revolutionary regimes that overthrow amd replace a central government, because there is usually less ongoing struggle against those invested in the old regime to justify post-victory war government, providing a pretext for repression and deprioritization of economic progress and QoL improvements for the citizenry.
