Huh?

Imagine working this hard to write a book. Some authors work for years. Many work for at least a year. Some academics work several years on one article.

Elsevier is very much a partner to producing and funding this work. The people who work there edit, format and distribute the work. The authors are very much partners in this endeavor and they're often paid royalties by Elsevier.

And then scummy people rationalize their piracy with lots of different stilted rationales.

If you see a poor author, you can be sure the piracy is cutting into the ability to support themselves by selling their writing. But, yeah, imagine that it's Elsevier that's holding humanity back, not pirate scum.
No life commitments and a social network in a new community built around their officemates
Yeah if one instance created one ID, then any integration tests creating more than one user would have failed. There were no testing or logging on a system with live users while doing a refactor between two dynamic languages
>Why do these ideas exist?

Because people are not blind.

And while happiness needs the "inside yourself", it also needs the outside. Especially the outside that affects the inside, like reduce socialization and spaces to meet causing loneliness, social media and "personal highlight reels" posts from thousands that one sees causing feeling of inadequacy and missing out, an economic climate that brings precarity and uncertainty, etc.

Of course if you e.g. make $200+ plus stock bonuses and such a year in a cushy IT job you might dispute the latter is a thing, and if you're an introverted "hacker" type, you might dispute the former is a thing as well. It's like billionaires saying "everybody can succeed, just look at my and my unicorn 1 in 1000000 company".

And while we can be happy even with bad external conditions (e.g. third world poverty) it's very possible that we cannot be happy with all kinds of bad external conditions, e.g. a damaged social fabric, widespread atomization of society, meaningless work, status and income uncertainty in a consumerist (not a third world, where everybody is poor anyway) society, and so on.
As a Canadian i can tell you if our legal system is one of the highest perform*ng in the world, the rest of you are totally screwed... it has gone fromow grade crisis to utter disaster over the last decade.

Big-5 is basically the personally test that all researchers use. Personality tests in general have a bad rep since most know only about shitty ones.

big-5 has 5 traits that people can score from 0-100% in, oceanchat uses 5-dimensional euclidean distance based on your traits to make a similarity-score between you and the others, and match you up with the closest ones. well, if it gets any users lol.

Other than needing a sensor there may be an interesting feedback effect between the light from the monitor and pupil size.

Also between non-light related pupil size changes. On an online call you may see some emotional reaction by how the lighting of a face changes.
Also, diversity more broadly, not just generation.

Scenario: Say you're a Zoomer, affluent parents, everything material you could want, security and opportunity, all the college prep and application angles covered, Stanford, Leetcode, FAANG, substantial war chest, now founder, family seed money and connections and safety net... designing a consumer tech product targeted foremost at "other" Zoomers in general...

In that scenario, you're going to have huge cultural blind spots, among your generation.

You might be best off throwing away the well-to-do fratbro culture-fit hiring funnel, and hopefully get a diversity of perspectives.
The reasons to escape Flash are the performance and power-consumption issues, rather than accessibility.

There's probably 500 more important cities to bomb in Europe before they get to my city. Which is 9th biggest in Poland, but still.

The point is that Russia can't hope to win in either conventional or nuclear war. So they won't start it.

It really is that simple.

BTW the only reason they started war in Ukraine is that they thought they will win easily. They had an article prepared that praised the army for 3-day victory. It accidentally went live early in the war :)

They weren't alone in that miscalculation - NATO thought that too. Nobody serious thinks Russia can win a war against NATO. Even Russia does not pretend that. Instead they pretend to be crazy. But they are rational, just evil.
Both countries tend to interfere in both parties, but India tends to favor the Tories because most Indo-Canadians who are opposed to Khalistan and the Chamar vote group tend lean Blue, while pro-Khalistan leaning and Jat Indo-Canadians tend to lean Liberal or NDP.

China does the same thing except for the Liberals because the HK voter block skews Tory.

This is just based on my memories living in the Lower Delta as a kid for a hot second.

Canadian local politics is fairly dirty (way dirtier than what I've ever seen or worked on in the US) and us ethnic minorities are treated as voting blocs to be managed by "community organizers".

Canada was also always very easy to immigrate to because they never actually ran in-deprh background checks so a lot of bad actors from China and India came, and that attracted Chinese and Indian law enforcement.

It seems his philosophy is sticking it to Apple and Tim Cook. While Linux might be a decent experience, it doesn't appear to me that the Framework laptop experience with Linux is comparable to what you get from the M1+ Mac. Even Linus himself uses a MacBook to run Linux.

Uh-- no one is forcing you to send anything to Elsevier. Or any other publisher.

If you don't like the terms, self-publish. The Internet makes it easier than ever.

The reason so many people use Elsevier is because they realize it's a better deal than self-publishing.

Copyright is a right that's given to YOU, the creator. If you don't want to sign it away, find your own way to distribute your work. Copyright will protect YOU from big companies stealing your hard work.
I'm actually OK with businesses deciding to not take a certain kind of credit card or them going cash only. Fine, go ahead and lose me as a customer. Just don't nickel and dime me because you're too cheap and stubborn to accept the tiny gross margin difference between one card and an another.
Putting things in writing is anathema to the sociopath or socially savvy manipulator. Writing leaves paper trail. You can't ask for unscrupulous things with impunity, or utilize fast talk or other manipulation techniques without being completely transparent.
> Animals don't intend nor even attempt to deceive, unlike humans.

I mean, that's just factually wrong.

Animals aren't different at all from humans in that regard. Since you don't seem to have much experience with animals, perhaps you might be interested in one tiny example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo#Brood_parasitism

The reproductive strategy of cuckoos is based on deceit, quite fundamentally.

And humans generally lie to achieve some goal -- humans don't generally tell major lies for no reason at all. And their minor lies often have an emotional reason behind them -- e.g. to avoid offense or avoid conflict or preserve their ego.

All that being said, I'm sorry that you've had such terrible experience with other people. If you haven't already, I would definitely suggest exploring talk therapy. It can help you both to figure out how to deal with people, as well as how to identify and find other people who are emotional supportive and beneficial, rather than people who drain and harm you.

I've always been a critic of the algorithm over curation for search. Cheap low effort content has always been orders of magnitude easier to generate than real quality content. The only way to prevent declines of the real content is to put a wall(curation) around serious information providers so they cannot be gamified out of the way by bad actors.

Embracing Googles "battle it out" style of search results has been a net harm to the quality of searching for information.

If the world stuck with the slower but ultimately finite method of curating quality providers we would have an amazing set of resources instead of spam blogs.
I got an appointment at a pharmacy "instant clinic" when I was traveling because I had a persistent cough I couldn't see to throw. COVID test was negative but that doesn't necessarily mean much these days.

Got an appointment in less than a day. The nurse practitioner probably gave me a more thorough look over (absent labs) than my primary care would have. Gave me an inhaler prescription probably as much to do something other than tell me to just continue the OTC medication I was already taking.

Sure, in an ideal world, we'd probably have a next-day MD appointment for everyone. But there's a ton of stuff when an ER or physician isn't really called for.
He has been in investing how many decades now? And he has seen price go up and down enough times to know that it will happen again. And timing the market is quite hard. So more sensible thesis is to pick up those sort of strong stocks when they are very reasonably valued.

Anyone with big investment in Nvidia or Tesla and such have to ask when will it peak? As everything has a peak. And finding that one is very hard.

On the macroscopic scale, light rays can be replaced with vision rays, and everything works out the same. That's how ray tracing works. People thought eyes were doing ray tracing.
I don't think that's a good analogy. We're talking about innate traits, not coarse functionality.

A plane and a bird can both fly, but a plane has no innate desire to do so, whether to take advantage of good soaring conditions, or to escape ground-based predators, etc.

An LLM and a human can both generate words, but the LLM is just trying to minimize repeating statistical errors it made when being pre-trained. The human's actions, including speech, are towards adaptive behavior to keep it alive per innate traits discovered by evolution. There's a massive difference.
Daniel Kokotajlo quit OpenAI earlier this year, and was one of the only people who refused to sign their secret non-disparagement agreement, even though (at the time) OpenAI told him this meant he would forfeit his equity. The idea that someone who quit OpenAI months ago, and who volunteered to give up all of his OpenAI stock in order to be able to publicly criticize OpenAI, is actually part of a secret OpenAI marketing strategy, reads like a galaxy-brained conspiracy theory.
That's my takeaway too.

"Gainax tried to rebuild itself with the support of Khara, which currently owns the rights to the Evangelion series and of which Anno serves as president."

So all the actual franchise stuff was with Anno in Khara, and Gainax was the creative staffing for the anime/movies?
On servers, why would one run Ubuntu LTS instead of just Debian?
You can very "effectively" waste time reading articles daily, literally no different from the time wasted on YT. The only difference is reputation of "printed letters" is higher than of "video". But the mechanism is the same - wasting time on some quick entertainment (yes, reading longform articles is also a quick entertainment) for a dopamine hit, then switch to the next one. I do it for years now.
Edit and format? I don't remember getting any formatting or editing help from any research journal ever, aside from getting some LaTeX style file.
> There is nothing about savings that implies they must be liquid.

Here are several examples that disagree. Yes, in a strict Keynesian economic sense it is saving but saving is different from savings, despite the similarity in the two words. (Yes, you are right, this is confusing.)

Examples defining "savings" in personal finance:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/savings.asp

"Savings is essentially cash"

https://www.britannica.com/money/saving

"Saving may take the form of increases in bank deposits, purchases of securities, or increased cash holdings."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saving

"In terms of personal finance, saving generally specifies low-risk preservation of money, as in a deposit account, versus investment, wherein risk is a lot higher."

Not asking, and pressing on, “How?” in most of these is journalistic malpractice.

“Does it involve creation of technology that doesn’t exist now?”

“Does it involve physically impossible nanotech?”

“Does it involve assuming the personal safety of every person with a any degree of control over it?”

I think they'll be studied as universal basic income. There's so many college graduates with no skills who basically unemployable, but are still collecting a decent salary to teach things that no one wants to pay for in the first place. Our economy can evidently support a lot of people who aren't working.

Harmonic – AI for Formal Mathematical Reasoning
Welcome to the 2000s, Americans.
From reading the report mentioned in the article, it seems (page 63) that once counterespionage intelligence is shared with police no special provisions exist in the law to protect sources and methods of collection from being exposed in court. Obviously no self respecting domestic security service would take that risk, and the Canadian parliament is rightfully criticized in the report for not doing enough to change the relevant laws
Ouch, now that really stings to wake up to. Eva aside, Nadia, Gunbuster, FLCL all stand out among the great anime of the '90s-'00s. Even lesser known series, like KareKano, which Anno had a hand in, really have a vivaciousness to them to them that just isn't that common. RIP Gainax.
It's pathetic at this point, so-called AI is grossly overvalued based on imaginings of what it MIGHT become, but shows no signs of becoming. I always ask people what they'd value "AI" at if what we see now is all we ever get.

Of course this dog and pony show just got NVIDIA past $3 trillion, it's like crypto on steroids.

It't not "based on". MacOS is a Unix.
> Right, but imagine a bunch of foreigners arriving without any possession. Do you really think they would've been welcomed into society

that is literally how they were integrated, especially during the empire era. We have records of a bunch of barbarians showing up and the emperor sending them to farm in various areas of the empire. They were not citizens (unless they went in the army) but they were not slaves.
I'm sorry but thats a pretty flimsy argument to base a conjecture on.

Yes, Delve has appeared to become more popular, and Even if its more common in business Nigerian, that's unlikely to be the cause of its popularity.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=delve&year_sta... Its been getting more popular in british english, so perhaps its over represented in something like news paper archives?

Now, if we want to talk about working conditions, I'm all for it. But if we are going to make this poface and very guardian peal clutcher argument against something, can it not be for nigerians (I hope would be) getting a decent wage and conditions?

There are so many ethical issues with AI, but this isn't really one of them.
A lot of good articles on HN get reposted to Lobsters, why should the inverse not also be the case sometimes?

Wake me up when they go to D.C. and start working for the people at government wages. This isn’t part of OpenAI’s marketing, but it’s still self-aggrandizement.
There are plenty of cases where dynamic saves a ton of code.
I kept thinking about it, did some tests, and you convinced me. So the pawns movements are now changed. It works like that now:

- pawns move forward in their "track", just like a rook would do, just one tile at a time.

- if the track reaches the end of the board, the pawn can promote as usual.

- if the track ends on the left or right side of the board, when the pawn reaches it, it changes track. If there are multiple tracks it can take from there, the one that reaches the end in the least amount of moves is selected

- when a pawn captures, it changes track following the same rule.

And I agree now that using capture to change the zone of attack of a pawn is a very nice addition.

On top of that, if multiple pawn are constraint to turn sideways at first, it's not simply a handicap. It also helps strengthen the defense in that area, as you can have more efficient pawn walls.

In all all, it's great, thanks a lot for arguing in favor of this change.
Of course a fresh perspective is not always correct. In fact, they usually get things wrong for lack of experience. And they tend to dismiss good old tech (like SQL) and adore the latest hype. But we seniors should be open to their opinions, and we should be open to mix with them and "exploit" their strength. E.g. our social media (Twitter, Insta and Facebook mainly) are handled by a ~50 y.o. woman who volunteered. People younger than 35'ish laugh about how lengthy the posts and the videos are, and the general tone of "Buscemy: how do you do, fellow kids?", lack of social networks that are actually used, and so on. But nobody asked them for advise, because nobody wants to be told how old and out of the loop they are.

On a more serious note, they can't take seriously they have to be available on weekends or holidays, so they prefer to change jobs rather than confronting or negotiate with their manager. It looks that our future is one of overworked seniors training short term juniors for our competition: extintion in 10-15 years.

Recently one of our juniors asked for a day per week working from home, and was denied because "team building" or something like that. Since them, I have the impression he's on a quest on how many days per week he can go without talking to anyone (avoiding team building), and I'm 100% sure he's now hunting for a fully remote job.
Good luck replacing youtube
Reminds me of the comic "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

Yes: all the technologies humanity has invented except for AI and maybe possibly nuclear bombs.

How to track the economic impact of public investments in AI
Yea I got wrecked by that update trying to play the new Doom single player... It worked great until they rolled out anti cheat. But they also said Forza Horizon 4 would never work on Linux because it's a MS title and it's tied to the real DirectX but eventually that started working too.

I play another game that has EAC anti cheat and twice it stopped working after an update simply due to the URL for the new Linux client was wrong. Thankfully Devs fixed it after 1week.

They even said as much in TFA - "[...] overkill, yes we know, but to be fair we had AWS credits".

Fully acknowledging the irony I am about to invoke - this is why I hate startup culture. Not startups, but this ridiculous culture of "well the VC gave us a million bucks and that bought us $100,000 in AWS credits, so let's just use it."

As someone who has built my company fully on my own dime (and the dimes of two colleagues), it's easy enough to burn piles of money in AWS (or any other cloud) when you're making an attempt at being judicious. Spinning up eight backends (edit: running five instances each, no less!) just because you have money, despite the fact that you know you don't need that much compute, is just insane. If for no other reason than you're just throwing your own credits away.
If we responded in 2008 or 2014 like we responded in 2022 - there wouldn't be any more russian agressions.

Instead we let them think they will win easily. The easiest way to avoid further wars in Europe is to help Ukraine win quickly.
How does this relate to the Tax Filing industry in the US. Is this really a “public option” for everyone to file their taxes? I hope so…
