The GP doesn't really provide enough details to tell the difference between 1) the programmer did something wrong, or 2) the regex engine is missing optimizations or 3) the GP has a use case that is actually difficult to optimize for in the generality of the regex engine. Any one of these 3 things could be true. It's possible more than one is true simultaneously!

> a linear find should be equivalent to a well implemented regex search for a specific string of characters

This is only true theoretically. If your regex engine is just a DFA scan that does char-at-a-time matching, then any "well implemented" substring search algorithm is going to blow it out of the water because it likely uses SIMD. Of course, many regex engines (including RE2), detect literals in the regex and use SIMD to scan for it. So while "DFA scan that does char-a-time matching" is a fine semantic model to have (to a first approximation) for a finite automata based regex engine, the model breaks down pretty quickly for reasoning about performance in general.
> That seems to be a value judgement about whether consciousness is a categorically different type of "ontological emergence" compared to others.

It's not a value judgment to point out that objective third person facts can logically entail other objective third person facts, but cannot logically entail subjective first person facts as with qualia. That's the whole point of the hard problem. All forms of ontological emergence we've actually seen are the first sort of entailment, but to accept and explain qualia with ontological emergence, you need to accept the second kind of emergence, which is a whole new thing we've never seen and we're supposed to accept it only for consciousness because we have such a hard time accepting that our perceptions on this could be flawed. It's simply more plausible that we're mistaken about subjective first person facts IMO.
The 10 number is for literally one person, I'm also discounting their mass (this isn't a precision exercise).

If you add 5 people to the car, call it 80kg per person so your you goto about 2.2 tons, then the damage number would be about ~24, but divided by 5 you end up with 4.8 (so a fully loaded car does about half the damage per person compared to one with a single occupant).

The thing is of course on some level this is large scaling factors applied to small numbers - i.e. tires still don't fail that quickly anyway, neither do roads.

Conversely it is actually weird to see that on this one metric, numerous self driving EV taxis is actually better.

it's shocking apple gets a pass on this. Not only for anti-trust reasons (it's giving Internet Explorer), but also that this is starting to remind me of all of the junk/bad settings packaged on Windows PCs eons ago.

Honestly, in some ways, a clean windows install feels like it less junk on it than a fresh Mac install. Maybe soon people will be building custom MacOS install media like folks did in the XP days, to trim the fat and make the default settings non-insane.

Another example of this is Pages, which INSISTS on being the default CSV viewer, no matter how much I check the "use this application in the future box." My only alternative is to uninstall it completely.

I said I don't know if altering was with or without permission. Just that altering did happen and you said it yourself that it happened with permission.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make about the significance of altering. Are you suggesting that if OpenAI simply served the content without altering it and didn't pay IP holders or obtain permission in any way, that would somehow be acceptable?

> It’s convenient to be able to shoot film without the commitment of buying a camera + film and learning how to use it

Is it such a big commitment? You can find decent used point and shoot type film cameras for 10-20EUR on ebay, at least where I am – sure it's not a Leica or whatever but they work well, at least in my experience.
Same issue - who is going to play it?

There are many indie games that never got made, lots of iterations of the current hotness (the Vampire survivors era may almost be over?)

People still play CS:GO. People still play The Sims. There are an infinite number of alternatives.

Professional game devs will talk about marketing because thats the problem when it comes to selling games.

The alternative is to make game creation fun - which then gets you to Roblox territory. Have people make games and share them quickly with each other.
You can achieve some of the same effect by using one of the early 2000s, less refined digital cameras.

I think, there is an early-digital point and shoot revival going on.

Atleast it will be much cheaper than film.
I could have worded that better. In a hypothetical one-state solution, they would enjoy the same rights; in a hypothetical two-state solution, as you say, it would be a nonissue.

But you have to acknowledge, if these actions are not actually going to fix the problem, then they are actually psychopathic in nature. The "Well I have to do SOMETHING" rationale works when the "something" doesn't involve killing tens of thousands.

Also, it's not like the other option is "doing nothing", but acknowledging that a way must be found to return to the pre-2005 state of things. There must be a Palestinian governance with a degree of sovereignty and the settlements have to be removed. These are evident steps towards deradicalization but steps that the Israeli right in general is not keen on, in fact they would rather do the complete opposite.
Could you possibly expand on this?

> He rightly observed that Godel's incompleteness theorem requires that either human minds are capable of things algorithms are not capable of...

Rat, dog, human, bee. Doesn't matter. The moment AI is able to incrementally improve a bee intelligence will evolve into rat, blink again and its dog, another blink and its smarter than us.

That is the danger. The issue of control and danger is not linear but exponential. And without a plan to deal with issues things can get out of control exponentially faster.

It is very expensive to change orbits. If you had two space stations like the ISS with ascending nodes 180 degrees from each other it would be about as expensive to transit between them as it is to launch a rocket from the Earth to begin with. See

You've got the advantage in space that you can use electric rockets with a high specific impulse. Back in the 1950s folks like von Braun imagined that manned space flight might use electric rockets but after they discovered the Van Allen belts they discovered this is much too slow to make it through the magnetosphere.

Out of curiosity, how can this be enforced?

I assume that they didn't get Scarlett's voice directly but they hired someone who sounds similar to use it for the system.

Is it illegal to hire similar sounding voice actor?

If I, for example, sound very similar to Stephen Fry, would I not be allowed to record audio books because he _owns_ his voice and any similar voice?

Same really.

Many people see unit tests as a chore, rather than the foundation of a codebase. If every project could get 60-80% coverage basically for free (except some super novel or intricate path, which should already have tons of unit tests), I see that as a net win for everyone.

For many of the CRUD platforms, you could even get close to 90% with a bit of hand holding.

So I see nothing wrong.

As they say: don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Sibling comment from thedrbrian explains it very well while it is unlikely to see clear air turbulence (CAT) with our current weather radars.

Of course if cost would be not an object we could detect these events. One possible solution would be to fly companion drones ahead of the jet. They could then detect CAT quite easily by just running into them. The spacing is critical with this scheme. If the probe drone is too far ahead you risk CAT developing between it and your plane. If it is too close you won't have enough warning time. If it is even closer you just rammed the drone and that can cause complications in itself.

Another possible option is to use laser backscatter. If you shine a laser forward from the airplane some of it bounces back from microparticles. If you measure the doppler shift of the light bounced back (probably with interferometry) you can tell the projected component of the relative speed of the particles. There is a ton of complications with this. But in theory you could make a "lidar" kind of thing which scans forward from the airplane and measure CATs directly.

Here is a paper from NASA about this possibility from 1968: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/80667132.pdf

At this point, I think the magic is in black and white and the darkroom (not that I have much of the wherewithal to do it these days). C-41 or E-6 color means you still need someone to develop and then scan them which just seems like digital with extra steps. I worked in a photo lab in the waning days of film and really enjoyed shooting it when I had access to all that equipment, but it just isn't the same since I've moved on.

Whatever people decide to do, I agree with you about skipping disposables and getting something vintage. There are a lot of gems out there - your Electro is certainly one of them, though I'd probably look at a lot of the Olympus point and shoots, though pricing seems to reflect the fact that they were quite good and are becoming a bit scarce; it seems like we're long past the point where the mainstream has unloaded all their 35mm gear for cheap.
Creating GIFs for Google Slides is also exactly my main usecase for gifski. Today I played around with different formats for animated images (GIFs, apng, svg) and videos (webm, mp4, ...) in Google Slides. Only GIFs can be directly embedded. Other animated images are not supported, and videos have to be files in Google Drive.

Ironically, GIFs are way larger than e.g. a webm video but are the only format which can be directly embedded in a presentation.
This is not my take, this is a proposal that has been suggested by Israeli officials.
And the converse as well -- an algorithm that is 10,000,000 * n^17 is going to be effectively intractable but falls neatly into P.

And the reality is that most NP-complete problems are well-solved by heuristics except in strange combinatorial corners. It's why we can't just create encryption systems based on knowing the correct answer to an NP-complete problem; most of the problem instances will be too easy to solve.

It depends on what you're trying to learn. There are certainly some things which don't benefit much from the flash card format, but I do think even then, these kinds of complaints are largely a failing of the user, not the app. If you get a little creative and experiment with the format of your cards, you can learn pretty much anything via Anki. Or at least enhance your knowledge of the skill you're ostensibly also practicing in real life.

The mistake most people make is simply adopting the "boring" flash card format of FRONT-BACK, and not incorporating other more creative types of cards. For example, question-answer, visualization, triggers, or unique images. ChatGPT is pretty useful for this, as you can get it to present the same information in a variety of different formats and contexts.

Yeah, 10 minutes/day for 40 new questions/day seemed low to me as well. I agree with you that the plausibility of that figure depends on how long it takes to answer questions.

Matuschak writes:

> In my personal practice, I've accumulated thousands and thousands of questions.

> I spend about ten minutes a day using my memory system. Because these exponential schedules are very efficient, those ten minutes are enough to maintain my memory for thousands of questions, and to allow me to add up to about forty new questions each day.

It takes a while to formulate (and subsequently edit) a single good question (https://www.supermemo.com/en/blog/twenty-rules-of-formulatin...), but suppose we leave that aside and assume that by "using my memory system", Matuschak means answering previously-formulated questions. He says that questions should take only a few seconds each, so suppose it takes 10 seconds on average to answer a question. Then one could answer 40 questions in 400 seconds, which is under 7 minutes. That leaves 3 minutes to review roughly 20 questions of older material.
The "State of Palestine" (the official name in this context) is a signatory to the ICC, and is the location of the committed crimes. I guess you could technically make an argument that despite Sderot et al being an occupation under international law, because they are in the actual control of Israel which isn't a signatory then crimes committed there couldn't be prosecuted by the ICC. Given that the only party who would try to escape arrest for crimes in those areas are Hamas leadership, I doubt that's what Israel wants. Also, I doubt Hamas is willing to legally state any part of Palestine is "Israel", particularly for a relatively non-existential threat like an arrest warrant.

A lot of safety features are mandatory in Eu/Aus/US/NA etc, making imported Chinese cars much more expensive than first thought. Bidirectional charging does not add much cost if planned ahead, since most of the effort is in implementing ISO 15118-20 rather than hardware.

I feel like the main issue with bidirectional adoption currently is the number of groups trying to maximise their profit, everyone wants a cut of the pie: the car companies, energy companies, ev charging companies, ev charging networks, solar/inverter manufactures and government standard groups. The needle won't move until California or other countries with influence force it. In Japan, from a technology perspective CHAdeMO has allowed for EVs to do bidirectional charging for years now.

Side note - I'm all for any extra safety features but I do find that a lot of the software driven features are poorly designed and implemented. I've had bad experiences with automatic braking and lane keeping when freeways driving where I was lucky to avoid having an accidents, so not being able to disable them permanently is a major annoyance to me. It seems like these features have very little real world testing.
