I would recommend Cargo instead of SMW, Cargo lets you use an RDB more directly, and you can do much more powerful things as a result. Cargo has been a better option than SMW since about 2018 or so imo
What compels someone to complain about a free service, and even more write an article about it?
I don't think he's as critical as you say. He just views LLMs as the product of intelligence rather than intelligence itself. LLM fans will say this is a false distinction, I guess.

His definition of intelligence is interesting: something that can quickly achieve tasks with few priors or experience. I also think the idea of using human "Core Knowledge" priors is a clever way to make a test.
That is primary energy. Only one third of that can actually be turned into electricity.
The issue is when "free speech absolutists" often aren't actually that. They'll stand up to defend folks like the ones from the case you cited because "Free Speech". Yet, they'll also defend laws like the ones passed earlier in the year by the US House about codifying the IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism.

> spectrum

The spectrum is far too often simply colored by the politics one's interested in, i.e. Free Speech is simply a tool to attack another and provide justification for their own opinions. Not an actual Free Speech position.

I don't believe anyone truly has a Free Speech Absolutist position. It's always just a tool. When the speech is against you, everyone conveniently turns against it.

The third option that seems to always get overlooked for some reason is that you can target by the content of the page rather than by stalking the user. Someone looking at a ex. Star Wars wiki page is much more likely to be interested in buying sci-fi stuff than furniture.

The bottom of that link has a video that is far more meaningful[0]

It asks the question if the presidents are more related to one another than to another random group. The answer to this is no.

This is probably pretty obvious if you actually look at population sizes through time[1]. There's 8 billion people alive today, but we have a billion less in 2010, 1999, (5) 1986, 1974, 1960, 1927, 1800. So in the last 100 years we grew 6 billion people! But in the last 200 years only 7 billion. In 1200 (approximately the time of King John) there was 360 million people in the world. Which is like taking the entire US and distributing across the globe. For reference, there were only 68 million people in Europe[2], which is about the current population of the UK[3] or about the combined population of Tokyo and Delhi (add Shanghai and Sao Paulo if you require city proper).

So you can probably just guess through how quickly population exploded that you're going to have convergent family trees without going back very far. Honestly, I'm more surprised it takes 800 years and not less.

Probably related that it pertains to a game built on a 2000 engine. The lack of complexity and repetitiveness is built into the game, which directly correlates to the popularity among the autism community.
Demand for electricity went down due to increasing deindustrialization, which leads to a lower price than it otherwise would be.
It would depend on the specific laptop and battery, usually. Some but not all manufacturers make external chargers. Otherwise you might have to try to replace the laptop charging parts, or find another laptop that uses the same battery (but maybe has a broken screen or whatever, for cheap).

There's also third party adapters, like https://www.direct-charging.com/en-us/collections/external-l... (never used them, not a recommendation, just a google search)
> And now you're back to square one? How do you choose those representatives in a way that represents their constituents' views? That was literally the original problem.

No, why? Arrow's Theorem eg has nothing to say about proportional representation. And Arrow's Theorem only applies to aggregating orderings of a finite list of preferences. But the methods under investigation need to be 'generic', ie can't make use of any special properties of those preferences, either. (See eg https://people.mpi-sws.org/~dreyer/tor/papers/wadler.pdf for how being 'generic' limits what your methods can do.)

And to come back to iterated games: almost no matter how the representative was chosen in the first period, if she's standing for re-election, she has an incentive for keeping her represented happy.

Arrow's theorem just applies to a list of static choices; not to how the chosen might behave when trying to get re-elected.

> Have you seen literature on this somewhere?

I don't remember right now. But I think 'The Myth of the Rational Voter' might mention some research somewhere. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_the_Rational_Voter) That book mostly mentions this when it argues that the problem with democracy ain't that voters don't get their wishes, but the problem is that voters do get their wishes.

> Whereas it's pretty darn easy to see how the candidate who promised you tax breaks suddenly voted to raise them when he came into office.

Sure. But if millions of people are eligible to be drafted at random, you are going to have a hard time pre-emptively bribing them. That's equivalent to doing something nice for the entire country.

> I see nothing obvious suggesting that your (homemade?) scheme is better, so I'm gonna put the onus on you to explain it wouldn't suffer from similar problems...

Because eg people who don't want to stand for parliament still have a say? That was exactly one of the problem you brought up with naive sortition. Remember?

> Note that "theorem assumptions don't apply" doesn't imply "conclusion doesn't hold".

Well, if your theorem says A implies B; if A doesn't hold, your theorem doesn't apply, but B could still be true for other reasons. But you need a different argument or empirical data to convince people of B.

GDPR related perhaps? A lot of sites just blocked everyone outside USA/Canada due to that.
Yep, but a float is more useful than a bool for tracking progress, especially if you want to answer questions like "how soon can we expect (drivers/customer support staff/programmers) to lose their jobs?"

Hard to find the right float but worth trying I think.
Kind of like swimming against the current back when JQuery/Angular were the dominant ones and suggesting React would get you laughed out of the room? How nobody would care if you could use React because every business was using and only hiring for JQuery devs?

The cycle continues. People acting like the [current popular thing] is the problem are missing the forest for the trees.
If you need to test collation or some database implementation detail, that is the exception where it may be good to use a real database but certainly is not the rule.
See, that's exactly what I mean.

Here [1], CISA assesses China-made drones as a national security risk. That is a non-partisan agency. But your response is:

* American tech companies are just as data-hungry, if not more. -> irrelevant, this is about foreign cyberattacks or foreign data mining

* China produces more user-controllable devices than American brands. -> irrelevant

* Boogeyman -> Scare word

* Ignoring the much larger and complicated problem -> Deflects and says we can't do /anything/ unless we consider all angles and do /everthing/

This leads to endless handwringing, and is one of the reasons the left has support of only 50% of Americans, when it should be (in my opinion) a huge majority. Because we're endlessly caught up in the attitude of "nope, we really can't do anything in the face of obviously problematic issues." Gosh, it feels racist to ban a Chinese tech company (even though the Chinese government does actually target our cyber infrastructure). Gosh, what about the bad American companies?

For any regulation or directive to pass, it needs to pass both the Parliament and the Council. Passing the Council means it needs unanimous approval from every member country. I don't see what "blocking majority" the article refers to, one country should be enough. Unless they mean stop it even before it reaches a Council vote, in which case that might be true.
What about individual private businesses like Spectrum and Verizon?
Agreed. As an example of that, Meta's kept its research org, FAIR, still doing fundamental research. Research orgs are great at demos, but actual productionalization takes a different mindset.

This assumes end users will accept an inferior product. Without some additional pressure - subsidies or hell even nationalism - a ban alone won’t magically create on par US companies.

I personally believe forms of writing and record keeping are far, far older than we think, having been discovered and forgotten repeatedly. Very hard for something hundreds of thousands of years old to be preserved. Once you can pass on information orally and written through the generations, knowledge will always improve.

An encyclopedia excluding exhaustive videogame information is reasonable.

If you don't, you end up with 20 articles for real life fish species, and 20000 articles for fish species in videogames.

Especially since we are talking about an online encyclopedia, Wikipedia is cognizant of its biases and tries to counter them.

Saw this at OpenSauce this weekend. Very cool concept. Obviously the price per unit (card) of the DevKit is a bit...steep. But at mass production scales it could be very reasonable. Especially if there were a dozen or more card games you could plan on it?

I hate "lets make it electronic just for the sake of electronics" because ewaste. But if you can take something and make it into "buy once, use forever(ish)"... that's awesome.
I'm not backtracking, you're simply not operating within the proper context boundary, or perhaps getting hung up on the least important[0] semantic imprecision in the thread[1]; regardless of whether we're talking about "human" or "primate" evolution (of the kind that is relevant to this discussion), it simply does not happen at these time scales. We're talking about evolution of highly conserved behavioural traits, not about "the History of homo sapiens sapiens" stricto sensu.

[0] It's the least important imprecision because in general, when we talk about the evolution of a species, we typically also consider common ancestors that don't necessarily have the same label as the modern species. When we speak of "human evolution", we're referring to proto-humans and human-primate common ancestors as well. Anyone would gloss over this in context.

[1] Note also that the imprecision was someone else's, not mine.

You underestimate the power of SaaS. Companies do SaaS precisely because it allows for this sort of capricious rent-seeking at wildly-unregulated levels of greed. That's just the name of the game. If other companies don't do it yet it's just because they don't have the level of market dominance that Adobe has - once they reach it, they all behave in the same way.
> The blog post states “BigDecimal is a class in Java used to represent floating-point numbers with arbitrary precision”

That doesn’t mean BigDecimal is used exclusively for that purpose… If you ask an engineer if 2.5 and 2.50 are the same, they will say no. It’s clear from the implementation that BigDecimal was meant for more than just representing arbitrary precision floating points, which is why there is a pitfall if that’s all you use it for.

Btw that’s the reason it’s got Decimal in the class name - it’s modeling base10 strings, not numbers. If the strings are different it shouldn’t be equal.
Most hardware (NVMe drives, GPUs, etc) doesn't run at more than 4.0 speeds anyway. The primary advantage of 5.0 and higher is that it'll allow that hardware to use fewer CPU lanes, eg what requires 4.0 x4 could use 6.0 x1.

There's definitely more going on with trees than we once thought, but I'm at least confident that wherever human consciousness comes from, it certainly must be tied to the nervous system. If we inherited consciousness from our ancestors, then the most distant common ancestor that we could possibly have inherited it from would be at most around the point where we branched from jellyfish. So if trees or other plants are conscious in their own way, then they also must have independently evolved it in their own way; it's not a trait that they share with us based on common heritage alone.
Pretty much everyone who talks about Adobe stagnating doesn't actually use the suite to it's full extent in the first place, I'm pretty sure. It's glaringly obvious when people talk about competitors; there is nothing near Photoshop. DaVinci Resolve is a good one for video though.

The thesis more or less works for any institution. It doesn't work outside of those bounds, like for MeToo and BLM. It's interesting how it's somehow a progressive issue. "Why have reports of “hate groups” risen during the same decades that racial prejudice has been plummeting?" Perhaps because expectations have risen, and perhaps because there was no one to report to earlier that would listen. Anyone who thinks racism isn't still widespread hasn't listened to raw thinking of many Americans, and didn't watch Charlottesville in 2017.

The current draft would cover every kind of service that allows people to exchange information so that every DM you send on reddit, twitter, discord, steam, ... would be have to be scanned. Not even the most totalitarian governments on this planet have tried to implement something like this. Also it sounds extremely illusory that the people exchanging CSAM wouldn't simply switch to private services knowing their messages on public services are scanned.

"... As services which enable direct interpersonal and interactive exchange of information merely as a minor ancillary feature that is intrinsically linked to another service, such as chat and similar functions as part of gaming, image-sharing and video-hosting are equally at risk of misuse, they should also be covered by this Regulation.

Yep. You’re usually signed up for an “annual plan, paid monthly”. I apparently am and wasn’t even aware of it until I tried to cancel it one time.

To cancel, you need to immediately pay out 50% of the rest of the year. And you’ll lose access to the products at the end of the month.

So unless you’re not even getting 50% of the subscription cost worth of value out of it, it pretty much makes more sense to continue it and cancel just before renewal.

As soon as you run over that 7 day trial, you’ve got a 30 day window a year from now where you can cancel without penalty. Miss it or forget? Set a better reminder for next year…
The point is that if you have some test of whether an AI is intelligent that the vast majority of living humans would fail or do worse on than gpt4-o (let alone future LLMs) then it’s not a very persuasive argument.
Does the script handle macros in SPF?

I've had a couple of other-company-IT-admins tell me that my MX is jacked because I use hosted SPF via proofpoint, and when they look up my SPF it looks like this:

A surprising number of mail admins don't understand SPF macros.
Then you have to define what an action is.
Last time I wanted to make a simple static webpage, I thought just HTML/CSS would be enough. My friend wanted some background images that don't become stretched or cropped no matter what the window shape is. If there's some way to do this with CSS, I couldn't figure it out, while it was straightforward in React. Just took the window dimensions and calculated div sizing based on that. Even better, when we decided we actually wanted to use more vertical images when loading in a vertical window (perhaps a smartphone or a split window), that was easy in React.

I feel like HTML had a lot of assumptions around desktop PC usage.

Waste disposal is an imaginary problem. A country like China (or the US) produces much more waste from nuclear weapons production than from running the civilian reactors. Why? Because in order to produce weapons grade plutonium you run a uranium reactor for a very low burnup rate. In the US the disposal of the military waste is done at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant [1]. The fact that we don't put there the civilian waste is just a matter of lack of political will. I doubt that China has this type of problems.

Everything is decided by committee.
