> And the above attitude is why the US is a joke with people who can't afford education, healthcare, or a home

The median American has all of these things better than the median European, except maybe healthcare. That's tough to compare. Some countries like the UK clearly have worse healthcare than the US.

Most of the top colleges are American. American homes tend to be much larger and nice than European homes.

> Then you're comparing countries with better distributed quality of life based on GDP

The distribution is really not that skewed. In most states, median income is within 40% of mean income.

Whether you compare median or mean, Americans reliably come out ahead, except for a few small Euro countries (mostly tax havens for American companies).

The German government can put you in prison. The US government can do that, and additionally can even kill you.
Dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, threadmills, all have common issues and fairly simple fixes, if spare parts are available.

It's strange how the article jumps from "China is publishing more/better predominantly from industry" to "The US needs more federal science funding for academics".

My anecdotal belief is that China is doing well relatively in applied science _because_ it's companies which are doing the _research_. This provides a long-term focus, and access to resources not easily available to academic researchers. It also dramatically reduces significant overheads of the academic system like grant writing or constantly vetting and courting grad students to work with you.

Further, again anecdotally, I get the sense that most R&D in western corporations is much more _development_ than research. The research is very much done by academics with government funding. This has alignment and efficiency problems.
The only others I’ve heard of are AmVim and VSCode-NeoVim, both of which are still active.

Are any of the others still in development? Any of them still worth picking over VSCodeVim?
Dogs can hear far better than people. They can see far better. They not only smell better, but they smell differently - two independent nostrils, with the ability to hold a smell across breaths - they smell in stereo and can sense past movements of animals by smell differential. They can also sense emotions, infer intent, and are very aware of, respond to, and participate in social interactions and hierarchies across species.

Their sensory world is richer, deeper, and more complex than ours, and their ability to interact within that environment is, in many ways, quicker and more efficient than we are able to do in our environment.

We obviously have far greater intellectual capability. And have created an environment where these capabilities are needed/required, one where dogs rely on us to survive.

So, I would say that we are more conscious in some ways, dogs are more conscious in other ways.
And that cost per month is for a 12 month contract that if you try to cancel early will require you to pay 1/2 of the remaining contract to get out of it. You cancel on day 32... that'll be 5.5 x your monthly payment to cancel.

Adobe makes all of this insanely hard to understand and fully grasp as a consumer. It's also almost completely unique in software licensing. I tried to find out when my current 'contract' was up a couple months ago and it was nowhere in their website account section nor in the Adobe Creative Cloud app on my PC that I could find. I had to call them and wait something like 30 minutes on hold to find out.

I wound up getting an extremely discounted rate for a year, but I now know the date it will end and have set reminders to cancel before and have begun transitioning to DaVinci Resolve now and will start transitioning to Affinity soon.

Keeping the information up-to-date is a big task for a fast-moving game. Imagine editing the card every time the dev changes the hp of the tank. The Factorio blog describes the benefits of this better than I can:

A whole lot of work goes into making game wikis pleasant. I'm sure you could duplicate this all on Wikipedia as well, but that's a lot of additional work and communities already struggle to keep their Fandom wiki's up-to-date.

I’m not sure you can get away with the syllogism that just because some business practice is used by drug dealers it is automatically unethical if a legitimate business does the same thing.

It’s like when someone offers to sell you a product weighed in grams, you can’t just say ‘ah yes, the drug dealer measurement system’ and dismiss their business out of hand.

Because I don’t think the moral issue people have with drug dealers is that they take a deliberately easy going attitude to theft of their merchandise and allow others to profit from selling it to a territory, only to later on increase their prices.

There could be a common cause (all 3 cables terminate in the same city, could follow a similar path where a single event/failure occurred, etc.).

Another possibility is that these cables provided an ideal training environment to test the capabilities of an adversary to cut off a region from the rest of the world. I'd think an adversary in wartime would cut all 5 cables. Vietnam could be the victim of an aggressor who just wants to practice/prove capabilities without much fear of repercussions.

I don't know who would benefit from crippling Vietnam's internet infrastructure today, but it could still benefit another nation to see/prove that it could.
You are correct in your points.

In the end I don't know where the solution lies, sometimes I feel the best solution is to re-design everything from the ground up. Other times I feel like regulation would help, but it would have to come from someone who practices actual medicine, bureaucrat.

Windows requires you to pay (!) to get access to h265 decoding. Someone needs to license the decoder at some point, and that means you'll have to pay for it one way or the other.

I apologize if I was unfair, I'm just trying to have a provocative conversation, no offense intended.

Calling an acknowledgement of history either dangerous, rhetoric, or weighed with the burden of intangible implication seems like a way to shame the observer for observing what is obvious. Just mentioning historical violence is not an endorsement of it or a suggestion that it's the only tool available to the slighted. I find that reaction itself to be the actual danger.

If we're talking about a wiki, then there's no point in paying for the subscription if you still get access to all the content AND the ads. Plus for that kind of website that's pretty much entirely static text and images $10k a month should be more than enough to cover the cost of hosting.

Parsoid got ported to PHP and made a core feature in 2019 and no longer requires being run as a separate Node.js service. The Visual Editor (which most people ran Parsoid to get) just works out of the box now.

Update difficulty scales about evenly with the number of third-party extensions you rely on, especially if CirrusSearch or Semantic MediaWiki are among them. But if you stick to stock and to the LTS version line, it's relatively painless since 1.19 compared to before it.

Between general PHP performance improvements and php-fpm compatibility, it's frankly overkill to run anything beyond the official mediawiki:lts-fpm Docker image[1] while applying whatever PHP config changes you need for your use cases to the Dockerfile. Throw in SQLite improvements and even bare-metal admin isn't much of a hassle these days compared to the bad old days of juggling PHP versions and extensions, configuring Varnish, running Parsoid, patching Mediawiki extensions and skins, and doing MySQL/MariaDB/Postgres upgrades.

A handful of well-supported responsive Mediawiki skins also means the stupid mobile-domain tricks aren't necessary anymore for most users to have a decent experience.

> But despite being computational machines,

This is not true. His entire foundation is, as I mentioned, as the linked article explains, a metaphor but not the actual truth about how human brains work. This is the crux of the matter, this is why AGI is very obviously not possible on the track it is currently on. Problem is, as the article I linked notes:

> Just over a year ago, on a visit to one of the world’s most prestigious research institutes, I challenged researchers there to account for intelligent human behaviour without reference to any aspect of the IP metaphor. They couldn’t do it, and when I politely raised the issue in subsequent email communications, they still had nothing to offer months later. They saw the problem. They didn’t dismiss the challenge as trivial. But they couldn’t offer an alternative. In other words, the IP metaphor is ‘sticky’. It encumbers our thinking with language and ideas that are so powerful we have trouble thinking around them.

Almost all AI researchers are in this rut: "firmly rooted in the idea that humans are, like computers, information processors" -- but this is just not true, it's a metaphor to explain how the brain works.

> A few cognitive scientists – notably Anthony Chemero of the University of Cincinnati, the author of Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (2009) – now completely reject the view that the human brain works like a computer. The mainstream view is that we, like computers, make sense of the world by performing computations on mental representations of it, but Chemero and others describe another way of understanding intelligent behaviour – as a direct interaction between organisms and their world.
Yeah I agree. We have reached the end of LLMs. LLMs are infallible and require no further improvement. Anyone who points out shortcomings of current architectures and training approaches should be ignored as a naysayer. Anyone who proposes a solution to perceived flaws is a crank trying to fix something that was never broken. Everyone knows humans are incapable of internal monologues or visualization and vocalisation. Humans don't actually move their lips to speak to produce a sound that can be interpreted by a speaker of the same language, they produce universally understood tokens encoding objective reality and the fact that they use the local language is merely a habit that is hard to break out of.
It's unlikely that two things with the same name in different packages do the same thing. It's also kinda unlikely that you have a collision in the first place. And if the theoretical problem with `import numpy as np` is that you forget what `np` is, then using `array` instead of `np.array` will have the same problem.

At the end of the day, this is a minuscule issue either way. I won't import stuff your way, but if you hand me code like that, I won't change it.

In this case I don't think having seen the Arc set would help much in writing and selecting python scripts to solve the test cases. (Unless someone else has tried this approach before and _their_ results are in the training data.)

It will be good to see the private set results though.

Oh, thanks, I think the phrase "programming semantics" threw me off, since I don't think of the precision behavior of ints and floats as "programming semantics", but rather "int and float semantics". In other words, it makes sense to me that integer 3/2 = 1 while float 3/2 = 1.5, because int can not represent 1.5, not because that's just how "programming" works.

So, extrapolating from that logic, since BigDecimal can represent 1.5, I would expect 3/2 = 1.5 no matter how 3 and 2 are internally represented. However, what I think I'm coming to understand, is that the precision of a BigDecimal is intentionally a semantic part of the value (duh, that's what you've been saying).

The only reason I can think of (as a math layman) for including the precision as a semantic part is that there are real world use cases for indicating precision and carrying it forward into results via rounding, like physical measurements. This is useful, but it also vexes me slightly because it means BigDecimal is not just for getting more precision than other numeric types, it is also for knowing/controlling the amount of precision, meaning there is no type dedicated only to the former. But I suppose the cases where you want more precision tend to also be the cases where you want to know/control the precision... It's just that this demonstrably doesn't occur to everybody using the API who might just be reaching for it because "I want more precision". I don't know how you would make it more obvious.

Then again, I am essentially guessing.
My problem with SPF (& co) is redirections.

I have email redirected from other domains into my (Gmail) inbox. For it to arrive, I use SRS, so the email is properly aligned and always makes it into my inbox. The problem is that some of that email is malicious. I have a choice of dropping those mails, and I never see a trace of it in my inbox, or forwarding them with SRS, and they look to Gmail like 100% perfectly good mails sent from my own domain (but still potentially malicious). It's annoying.
Right. They spend a lot of time in pure swift and not within its C++ runtime, but when you want to compare garbage collection algorithms that doesn't really matter. The fact is that ARC is slow and you spend a ton of time counting references. Something an alternative algorithm wouldn't have to do.

This is poorly done. If you're banned from doing something for a long time for unfair reasons, then the unfair reasons are rectified and you can actually do it, people will still feel brainwashed to treat you as before even though they never actually wanted to.

To just think that a bunch of people not liking something means that something is inherently bad is missing the context for why those people think something is bad, and who told them to think that.

If a billion people think you're an asshole for no objective reason, then you are just doing something they are emotional about.
