At one point the political left rallied all of the world around “believe her”. Now they’ll deny the accounts of numerous women who have claimed they were raped and abused, just because they’re Jewish and that doesn’t align with the political left’s coalition, which includes Muslims and excludes Israel and Jews.

There’s no need for us to be shy about what’s happening here, with different standards and different protection applied to different groups of people.

As for evidence:

- Lots of photos and videos of dead women whose bodies are naked for some reason (because they were raped)

- Hamas’s own released videos showing women with blood on their pants in the groin area and ankles sliced to prevent them from getting away

- Lots of eyewitness and first responder stories of seeing rape happen

- Recordings of Hamas operatives and even UNRWA staff using rapist terminology to refer to female Israeli captives (“sabaya”)

- The Hamas charter objectifying women and defining the role of women as homemakers and child-rearers

And on and on.

If the solar panel reflects less sunlight than what would otherwise be there (which seems likely to me) then grandparent is (technically) correct. The energy the panel absorbs eventually turns into heat (although before it becomes heat, it might in the form of electricity be transmitted far away) just like the sunlight energy that a rock absorbs also turns into heat.

The correct response to grandparent is that the magnitude of the increase in heat is small enough to be safely ignored.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series' first 4 or 5 books (it's been a little while) were excellent. Carl's tone reminds me of a detective novel, while the setting is more reminiscent of Ready Player One and The Matrix. The genre is a LitRPG novel (admittedly a genre I'd never known existed until reading DCC), heavily doused with comedic elements. Lots of mature themes and references to sex, drugs, politics, and violence, but with some of the allegorical or illustrative critique (to the point of absurdity) you'd find with Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett when discussing serious topics with parallels to real life, in an imagined scifi/fantasy setting. I'd recommend the series if for those who haven't picked up a book in a while and who would appreciate those elements.
“Rich internal experience” doesn't mean the same as “deep experiences”, any more than “rich flour” (e.g. powdered rye grain) means the same as “deep flowers” (e.g. the bright yellow bit of a daffodil plant); and I was speaking in generalities, not universals. You're right: it would have been kind of hilarious had I been insisting upon what you said, because even I can see it's very false. Most allistics are, after all, capable of creating and appreciating meaningful art (albeit, usually limited to the types and genres of art considered conventional by local society during the first couple dozen years of their lives, unless they've been through particularly-significant external experiences).

> people don't talk about the weather because they are super interested in the weather

Meteorologists do.

I get that small talk is a social bonding exercise, and that "the weather" is just a common example of an inoffensive, vaguely-relevant shared experience. I understand why people would default to this if they didn't have much else to talk about, and they felt an instinctive obligation to prioritise perceived inoffensiveness to society-at-large over the actual joy of the actual conversation participants.

I just don't understand why this limitation is considered a good thing. Surely people would prefer to talk about something they enjoy talking about, and hear about something they enjoy hearing about? The fact that people can't – or feel they can't – is surely a bad thing… or, at least, morally neutral. The downsides of autism are paraded around everywhere, yet the downsides of allism are, via Tall Poppy Syndrome, somehow transmuted into downsides of autism? Like, do people not notice they're doing this? Clearly not, if https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296736/ (2006) is anything to go by.

Might be that military pilots are much more engaged with the product than the average google-user with search.

Or how these digital tools pervade spaces where everyone has to be able to use them, even if they're the type that refuses to engage with the text displayed in message boxes or technical jargon like "files" and "tabs", because they have the expertise that is more valuable to the business than the peripheral software. A greater expectation and insistence that things "just work", that the tools get out of the way instead of integrating with the user.

Maybe adjusting some straps and seat positions is more intuitive than digging for advanced options. Maybe it's significantly more difficult to surface options in digital mediums without introducing friction as a side-effect, because you're always fighting over screen real estate and screen legibility, instead of being able to just add a latch on the strap that's there when you need it and invisible when you don't.

There will always be false positives and false negatives, they have to be balanced.

If the cost of a actual negative is 100 and the cost of an actual positive is 1. You'd expect there to be approximately 100 times more false negatives, because we want to be 100 times more sensitive to the costly negative condition.

I'm this sense, the alarms in hospitals make sense. Actual negative are very costly.

But this is a cold mathematical analysis that doesn't consider alarm fatigue and the cost of people learning to ignore the alarm. I wonder how to best model human nature in this calculation?

An optimal solution would require considering all alarms, and modeling the fact that every alarm given is another alarm ignored (assuming the hospital is operating at capacity, if it's below capacity the solution is easy, just manually check all alarms). This system might realize that the 4th "no pulse" alarm of the night for Alice would detract from the 1st "no pulse" alarm for Bob, and that Bob's is more likely to need attention. I'd be terrified to program such a system though, and from what I've seen in corporate programming environments, I'm not confident any company could get this right.
DJing is bog easy and commoditised to the point where anyone can pick it up and sound believable by pushing a few buttons that literally do the mechanical work for you. This is coming from someone who's DJ'd for twenty years in all sorts of establishments. These Twitch DJs have donation buttons and merch that they get the majority of their income through anyway, if they even are monetised (many aren't). Personally I wouldn't mind if 100% of the revenue from my Twitch DJ streams went to the artists.

> Temperature is a parameter for how you sample those logits in a non-greedy fashion.

I think temperature is better understood as a pre-softmax pass over logits. You'd divide logits by the temp, and then their softmax becomes more/less peaky.

probs = (logits / temp).softmax()

Sampling is a whole different thing.

> USSR didn't terminally stagnate until 20, 25 years after Stalin died, though. They still looked pretty capable under Kruschev

True, and Kruschev is 20 years Stalin’s junior. I’m inclined to regard him as a fluke; the wheels of power replaced him with the far-less competent Brezhnev after ten years, at which point the Soviets’ fate was sealed.

It’s an open question: if the ISSR could have both beaten the U.S. and remained intact following Stalin’s death. I don’t think they could have. Insisting on not just parity, but supremacy, may have doomed them.

The ability for Beijing is Taiwan. They really shouldn’t obsess over it. But Xi has done so, and likely can’t retreat. Which means his successor is similarly damned, and with him, his nation.
You want to check something real quick on what... the internet? Then you have internet access. You also have access to the local data on the machine as long as it was asleep rather than off, which will be the case the vast majority of the time.

Keeping the key stored on the machine, TPM or no, is also less secure than keeping it somewhere else. If someone steals your laptop, you deny all access to the key on the server and they can't get it even if they could guess the pin (or the user wrote that on the bottom of the computer), and there is no way to use an offline method to extract the key from the TPM because it isn't there.

Kind of a ridiculous myth when you consider the diversity of life uniquely adapted to the various micro environments of the amazon rainforest. It would be multi-million-year terraforming project.
Another tangent, I went on a trip to LA. The drive to airport was noisy, airport was noisy, airplane was noisy, city was noisy, air conditioner in room was noisy. This went on for the whole week. I didn't really notice.

But when I got dropped off at my car after the flight home, to get in my car it was late at night in a small town. And I noticed it. The silence. I stood there, beside my car keys in hand for a good 5 minutes, just taking it in.

I had no idea how noisy it had been for the past week until then.
What help could they realistically send? Poland was between the two nations that were invading it and the UK was only just introducing a bomber (Wellington) with the range for a direct return flight to Warsaw (and such a flight was impossible since it passes over Germany). Marine access means a long Baltic voyage past the main German navy bases. An assault on Germany would have been via the neighbouring countries and so needed their cooperation, and would still have come too late to save Poland.
> Platforms want to disable the ability for users to differentiate between organic, self-directed discovery vs advertised or promoted content.

It's not just that platforms don't want you to know if what they're showing you is an ad or an organic result/recommendation, if they made it easy for people to find what they want then companies wouldn't have to pay them for prominent placement in the first place.

There's still a real problem (that AI will only make worse) with really good things being drowned out by a sea of garbage, but people wanting to act as gatekeepers (and collect tolls) only make the problem worse.
GitHub is an example of a service that would want to disable this option. They get lots of legit ssh connections from all over the world including people who may be behind large NATs.

From the linked article:

> those attempting to download the data via torrent are reportedly stuck at 85% and unable to complete the download... A few hours later, the person responsible for the leak provided another torrent link, which separated the files as opposed to making them a single archive. This new torrent has three folders called nytimes, nytm, and TheAthletic. The two files inside the TheAthelic folder are iOS.tar and android.tar; we verified that they reflect the source code of The Athletics mobile apps.
What is with the "50k" in that headline?
The date of 50k years ago does not seem to appear anywhere in the linked academic paper, does not correspond to climate change at the start of the current interglacial, and does not correspond to evidence of the arrival of humans in North America.

There's this ongoing attempt at Google called Alphabet Workers Union. Instead of simply negotiating for higher pay, their goals were all over the place according to their website: https://web.archive.org/web/20220305061423/https://alphabetw... "We are BIPOC workers who fight against totalitarianism." "Our union of 800+ members strives to protect Alphabet workers, our global society, and our world. We promote solidarity, democracy, and social and economic justice."

Today the site looks better, but still, you might wonder if Google planted them as a way to prevent a real union from forming.
It's a big problem because it is devaluing the brand of his companies, which it is doing because investors and consumers aren't psychopathically logical actors and will refuse to buy from companies associated with men who breach their deeply held beliefs, which is why casually choosing a side is a dumb idea[0]. If you think this is self-referential, can you explain why?

Exonerate who? None of us were around 50k years ago.
As a teenager on Windows 98, I think, I went through the CLSIDs in the registry and embedded them in folder names like this to see what happened. I don’t remember anything really cool happening, but I think I found a few special ones. One hung the system, or at least the shell, and my dad wasn’t happy about my experiments.

Also played with a feature where explorer would render your HTML when you opened the folder (maybe a desktop.ini setting), and there was probably a bit of JS integration possible.
The extinction doesn't seem to have happened 50k years ago in North America. That seems to have been made up by whoever wrote the headline.

well, until earlier this century the focus was on getting one house of worship for each continent or continental region. but in 2017 the first local or national house has been built and since then 4 more have been completed, two are under construction and 3 more in planning. that means soon in just a short time their number will have more than doubled. and i am pretty sure it won't stop there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%CA%BC%C3%AD_House_of...
50 shades of hot garbage, unironically, is one of the books that brought smut back into the mainstream. As much as I have no interest in reading the series, have to give credits to the author for making something incredibly popular. We can hate it, but there are millions of people who read and write fanfic on a daily basis, and targeting that audience is respectable.

But I agree, being on bestsellers list nowadays doesn’t even as much as it used to. Everyone’s up there to game the system, whether through extreme SEO-boosting or buying their ways into shortlists and recommendations.
I doubt at that era Sherpas had experience climbing with oxygen either.

This isn't a problem unique to what we're talking about, virtually every desktop PC on the planet has proprietary blobs running regardless of the OS used. I agree it sucks, but they're also not strictly necessary to run the containerized setup I proposed (any more than they're necessary to run the computer itself). It's possible to have attestation without anything proprietary/closed source.
If you had to buy a clothes washer recently, top load is better than side load, agitator is better than no agitator, analog buttons or dial is a plus, et al. Old is better than new. The rude design choices have compounded. Nobody needs an app to know what cycle their washer is at. Anyone using a washer, listens for it. When your display goes out, all the functionality is gone. It's just mind boggling.

The 2024 Hyundai Tuscon with 10 year warranty (on top of the manufacturer's 2 year warranty) means this will probably be our last car. It has all the best features of 2019 and has very few rude problems - eg turning off the engine and opening the driver door locks the rear doors. That's not helpful.
Sure, my comment about softmax was simply about the probability distribution. But temperature is still part of sampling. If you’re greedy decoding, temperature doesn’t matter.
Thank you so much! Very nice to see that ISO was convinced to once again follow the promise (to Adobe) of no-cost access to the PDF standard that they kept until PDF 1.7 but broke with PDF 2.0.

Computers have these neat things called "local filesystems". They're a real hoot. Maybe you can get one on your computer.
I agree, these decisions in 2024 are thoroughly vetted. I think the only thing these companies don't know is when the news cycle will pick up on something they're doing and they get blowback, and they'll have to pretend this was some little oversight.

If they're relying on public feedback to realize how completely unacceptable the initial rollout was, that again points to deep problems at Microsoft and is why I'm saying this is baffling.
