> The west, or for that matter even most third world countries do not cause much plastic pollution at all.

This is naive given that consumption, production, and use of plastics is distributed worldwide, but with a heavy concentration in OECD nations.

You are correct that the issue is political, but pretty much everything else you've said is subjective and shifting blame. The truth is if you use and dispose of plastics you are part of the problem and your country should be working on solutions (the easiest of which is simply to not use plastic).
Agreed. Yours is a discussion among researchers (published papers) and mine was recommendations by a governmental body dedicated to summarizing and recommending based on the most current research to date.

People not actively in the research domain can cause a lot of issue by leaving the stodgey, status-quo-driven arena of authoritative recommendations, especially with health standard of care. I hate that is a bit credentialist; however, we have similar restraints on what makes cars roadworthy and able to participate in society at large, so its not without precedent.
// I don't mean to take away from Intel's underwhelming management

chuckle lets give full credit where credit is due :-)

Athlon was an epochal chip. Here's the thing though---if you are a market leader, one who was as dominant as Intel was, it doesn't matter what the competition does, you have the power to keep dominating them by doing something even more epochal.

That's why it can be so frustrating working for a #2 or #3 company....you are still expected to deliver epochal results like clockwork. But even if you do, your success is completely out of your hands. Bringing out epochal products doesn't get you ahead, it just lets you stay in the game. Kind of like the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland. You have to run as fast as you can just to stay still.

All you can do is try to stay in the game long enough until the #1 company makes a mistake. If #1 is dominate enough, they can make all kinds of mistakes and still stay on top, just by sheer market inertia. Intel was so dominate that it took DECADES of back-to-back mistakes to lose its dominate position.

Intel flubbed the 32-64 bit transition. On the low end, it flubbed the desktop to mobile transition. On the high end, it flubbed the CPU-GPU transition.

Intel could have kept its dominate position if it had only flubbed one of them. But from 2002 to 2022, Intel flubbed every single transition in the market.

Its a measure of just how awesome Intel used to be that it took 20 years....but there's only so many of those that you can do back-to-back and still stay #1.
Jared Isaacman and SpaceX already made a proposal to NASA to do a Hubble servicing mission. NASA recently responded with "no thanks". NASA feels the risk of potentially damaging Hubble in some way (eg, gas from thruster getting on a mirror) outweighs the benefits. Basically a high probability of worse performance is chosen to be more favorable than a lower probability of better performance.

Some interesting questions Claude cracks:

Let W=Q+R where Q and R are standard normal. What is E[Q|W]?

Perplexity failed and said W. Both ChatGPT and Claude correctly said W/2.

Let X(T) be a gaussian process with variance sigma^2 and mean 0. What is E[(e^(X(T)))^2]?

ChatGPT and Claude both correctly said E[(e^(X(T)))²] = e^(2σ²)

I think Claudes solution was better.

I then tried it on a probbailtiy question which wasn't well known and it failed miserably.

> so when the labor is free we shouldn’t need them.

Short of the singularity happening - "labor" (even Robotic) - at this scale - is not going to be anywhere near free.

I mean, in some ways, "labor" is already "free" in agriculture if you compare current cost of labor per yield vs what you would get before the industrial revolution.

The average labor cost to farm an acre of wheat pre-industrial revolution was 50-100 hours. Today, it's <1.

Short of the singularity, we are not getting a 100x improvement from here in our lifetime.

There's not only so many 100x improvements you can make until you need a perpetual motion machine traveling faster than light...
Even more damming imo is that Instagram is rife with those “young model” accounts.

The worst thing about browsing old Reddit threads is when half the discussion has simply disappeared because the user hates Reddit and edited/deleted all their comments. There's an awful lot of information lost there, and sometimes it's extremely difficult to find elsewhere. The same goes for the occasional deleted accounts and posts I've seen on other forums around the web by people the forum administrator have deemed "toxic" and purged posts instead of simply banning the user (I only have a single vague memory of a forum other than Reddit where a user voluntarily removed all of their own posts, likely due to the difficulty of doing so).
What do you mean by selling Education?
Same for Snap, which is surprising given its reputation:

> Despite their systems’ similar mechanics, neither TikTok nor Snapchat recommended the sex-heavy video feeds to freshly created teen accounts that Meta did, tests by the Journal and Edelson found.

This imo proves that Meta isn't even trying:

> In some instances, Instagram recommended that teen accounts watch videos that the platform had already labeled as “disturbing.”

This could be a very simple toggle, it's disingenuous to blame everything on the "black box" of the "algorithm."
Let us have the damned plastic straws. If the (industrial?) compostable / degrades better plastic isn't a myth go ahead and require that as the material, but otherwise straws are too useful.

As for the rest? Regulations. Regulate the use of easy to clean and reuse durable containers. Make their sizes standard, interchangeable. Alternately, allow containers that are fully disposable. However the customer fee for a fully disposable container should be zero overhead. Yes this includes paper bags at the grocery store. That tech is super useful and should be encouraged over... heavy plastic BS bags.

The Black Sea is a de facto big lake, any big navy would have the same problems as the Russians now have against drones and land-based missiles. In a way the Americans are now experiencing the same problems in the Red Sea, hence why USS Eisenhower had to escape 200 miles North to Jeddah once it started being targeted a few weeks ago.

Which is to say that the Black Sea / Red Sea is not the Midway Atoll with its wide-open ocean.

I imagine the YOLO researchers would argue MSE is more "correct" in their case. Yolo has augmentations that combine images with different labels. If you make an image that's to 30% composed of the image of a train and to 70% the image of a car, you can argue it should be predicted as 0.3 train, 0.7 car, 0 everything else. But now you are suddenly doing a regression task.

The idea that customer service can be 'automated away' is dangerous, and has been proven wrong again and again. And soon, LLMs will be used to attempt to solve this problem again, and they will fail again.

It is easy to look at the historical information in a ticketing system and make the conclusion that the vast majority of the issues can be solved by pointing the user to frequently-encountered solutions. However, the issues that are easily solved are also typically the least impactful. It is the long-tail of this problem that is difficult to solve, and is infinite in length; there will always be exceptions that automation cannot handle.

Completely neglecting these issues should be prohibited for consumer commercial services.
I worry about new maintainers who feel the need to leave some sort of a mark on projects by adding unnecessary features and dependencies. I get it, true maintenance of a stable project, where you only fix bugs and security issues, is not glamorous.

It's a tired meme but we really do need some concept of "finished" in our field, along with the necessary incentive structures to enable people to do the needed maintenance on finished software in perpetuity.
Very neat! It would be cool to see, I'm sure. Anarki hadn't changed too much, but there are some things for sure. Any especially cool features added or changed? Must be cool to work in a language you control.

"This is one of the traits I admire the most about German culture; awareness that government can abuse its power."

This trait can be found all over the former Soviet Bloc, because we have had enough experience with either one or two homicidal authoritarian regimes (the Nazis and the Communists). That experience was paid in a lot of pain and blood.

Places like Sweden, the UK, Canada, Australia or the US, where governments within living memory weren't as oppressive against their own population, have a lot of naive people, "well, they mean it well".

I was not treating "asynchronous state machine" as a noun, even if taken as a generic adjective it doesn't make sense in this context. What "other things" is this wc2.c doing while the state machine is churning? There is no multi threading or multi processing going on here. So I find it hard to believe that this use of "asynchronous" is inside of what I would generally see it used as. As such I thought perhaps it referred to a specific methodology for designing the code, something akin to how the "lock free" adjective implies a certain design sensibility.

My parents had to resort to this to break out of their contract with AT&T when mobile service went to absolute shit following the 4g rollout. Repeated trips to the local store were met with them waving vaguely at the service map and refusing to do a site survey, calls to corporate were stonewalled. After 6 months of this, they called the AG. It was resolved within a week and AT&T let them out of the contract without penalties.

It is a damn shame that people have to go nuclear like this, but sometimes it is the only option.
Risk and reward are proportional, absent corruption. Managing risk does not make it disappear. Managing risk is what people get paid for, it’s the hard part that requires knowledge and expertise.

If there was no risk, then there would be no failed pharmaceutical businesses. If it was so easy to take medicines from idea to market and make a ton of money, people wouldn’t be wasting their time on buying stocks for other businesses.

It is also simultaneously possible that US patent law, as implemented with medicines, is too rewarding to pharma companies.

5-10%, from googling it.

Most recycling is bullshit. "Electronics recycling" ships it off to third world countries where people pull apart PCBs over diesel fires and whatnot, dumping stuff all over the ground.

Each country gets tired of their land being used as a toxic waste dump and their people being poisoned, so the recyclers work to find another country desperate for some sort of industry.

The only solution is to tax the electronics at sale to cover the cost of recycling it in the least hazardous way possible, with extra penalties for devices with a fixed lifetime (ie, non-replaceable batteries.)

I've made a few changes in my software, use Base64 instead of numerical values, now I'm getting the following error: "Nonce must be 1-64 characters long and consist only of Base64 characteres"

Whih is really odd, since my string has only 51 chars and all chars are valid within the Base64 group.

If I remove the padding ("=") then it's good to go, however, there is a string in the scoreboard with "=" in it (garethgeorge/AHQAAAHPe0Q=)

Did the user bypassed the javascript check using curl or something?

Also, this could use some adjustments:

const nonceRegex = /^[A-Za-z0-9+/]{1,64}$/;
if (!nonceRegex.test(nonce)) {
alert('Nonce must be 1-64 characters long and consist only of Base64 characters');
return false;
}

Personally, I would use const nonceRegex = /^[A-Za-z0-9+/]{1,64}(={0,2})$/;
