Combined with project 2024 plan it does not even have to go that far.

They will increase politically selected government officials by thousand or so. They obey blindly the president. When they violate federal law by doing so, the president direct DOJ not to prosecute, or pardon them. Prosecutors and cops can violate federal laws and get away with them if they do it with full support from the president.

Because pardon power is core presidential power, it has absolute immunity in this interpretation as is any interference with DOJ.

Even Amy Coney Barrett dissented with the part where any prosecution of a former president, juries cannot consider evidence touching on official acts, even in a criminal case based only on private conduct, which is not shielded. This also means the president can sell pardons, etc.

>so it doesn't emotionally feel like a big deal to them

I wonder how people would feel if there was a single site that aggregated all of the data that has been harvested about them. Potentially showing where/how the data was collected and setting aside protecting that data from prying eyes would be problematic. In the world of today where evidence is just fake news, how [in]effective would something like this be in changing minds?
Along the same lines is a general theory of mine that many people in this era generally underestimate the cost of coordination, and overestimate the efficiency gain of bulk processing.
I would say knowing and understanding is not necessarily the same. In this example the surgeon having both understanding and memory/knowing is best/required. If I had to pick between the two, I want the one that understands my particular trauma, even if that means they have give instructions for someone else or a machine to performing it.

I think an example closer to the above posts would be: If I needed cpr or defibrillation, I would much prefer a paramedic be next to me and make that call and performance than a med student or a defibrillator manufacture's electrical engineer.

> I can't "deduce" what 7*8 is by any rule

But you can break this into a different problem knowing that 2^3 = 8, and doing 7*2*2*2.

This isn't as fast but is in a way more useful because while 7*8 is fairly easy to remember you're not going to remember 17*8 etc but you can problem solve it fairly quick.

There are other ways of seeing the multiplication table as well. For example 9 times something can be thought of as 9*x = 10*x-x.

I never learnt these, but simply realised over time that there are different approaches to doing calculations.

> american tools

That's an interesting way to phrase it. I, and everyone I know, have both metric and SAE tools. At least for wrenches & sockets.

> I need to stop and think before I know which is smaller a five eights or a three quarters.

I'm with you there. I've gotten in the habit of just mentally converting every SAE size to 32nds. I wouldn't really mind losing SAE, but that is not happening. What really makes my blood pressure goes up is Ford ... they mix metric and SAE fasteners on their cars. WTF! Pick one! Subaru is at the other end, easy to work on because 10 & 12mm wrenches will work for maybe 9 out of 10 bolts or nuts.

Note that those are not stock widgets.

And that's one of the main show stopper for me with kivy: it comes with very few built-in UI controls, so you have to code a lot of things yourself.

I much prefer Python to JS, but things like react native win because of the community libs you can install save you tons of time, and produce a better result.
I take that a step further to highlight the point:

I don’t do anything illegal in my bathroom, but damned if I want a camera in there.
Can you elaborate? The US center seems pretty undefined to me, united only by absence of strong feelings and a propensity for the new shiny, loud, and/or charismatic.
The basic problem is that demand is unpredictable.

From a patient care perspective you overprovision so that pretty much any surge doesn't exceed capacity. But note that the cost to the hospital is pretty much based on what they provision for, not what they actually do. You're not paying the hospital the big bucks for actually doing, you're paying for the capacity to do it.

From a profit perspective you overprovision only to the point where the marginal value drops to zero, a point far below the peak of a surge. Unless mandated otherwise no business provisions to the biggest surges.
One will hope this becomes commercially successful and the dirty process of creating and building lithium batteries goes away completely. Hope we become less dependent on China and other countries with shady labor practices (ie, child labor, minimal to no safety regulations).
I think he’s a thoughtful and wise man anyway; it doesn’t seem to have much connection to chess.
Tangent: I wish more projects/build systems had a distinction between modes of “I'm the developer” vs “I’m just a poor soul trying to compile this”. -Werror is appropriate for the former but not the latter. It sucks when some random dependency stops building because they put -Werror in their makefile and the compiler added a new warning at some point that didn’t exist when the code was written.

I’d actually go even further and say that the only appropriate time to use -Werror is when running tests for code that hasn’t been merged yet… once it’s “released” you don’t want to use -Werror any more.

Ditto automatically running unit tests/etc too. (Perl is actually a major offender here… last time I used Perl, installing a module from CPAN would run its unit tests by default. Why do I, some random person installing this module, care if the tests pass now? The tests should have been run prior to this being published! I have horrible memories of the DBD::MySQL package failing to install because it ran tests that assumed localhost was running a MySQL server with anonymous auth enabled and the whole module failed to install if that wasn’t the case.)
>> I grew up in car-centric suburbia. I [ed: did things in parks, streets that were safe to play in, places without risk of acquiring an arrest record].

> Right, stereotypical suburbia is actually pretty good for walking and biking around, hanging out at the park, etc...What's not so good is "rural" suburbia [ed: neighborhoods built in recent generations]

My generation had cool places to play. We had streets without heightened risk of dying. We had countless places to go without worrying about life-changing arrest records (when minor transgressions were handled and then fully forgotten).

My kids generation did not have those things.

In the face of this, modern adults seem divided into two camps:

1) Blaming kids for having their development world wiped out and

2) Taking away the few tools kids have - for coping with having their development world wiped out.

I don't think it really matters who governs or funds open source projects as long as they're under a permissive license. Those companies can't control the software if others are able to fork it and part ways with the company.

The important part though is that people have the freedom to use, modify, and learn from them. Imho it would only be market failure if that freedom disappears.

Wrote a fairly complete POC in 2012 with kivy, it was able to render rather detailed floor plans, which was the most important feature of the POC since the idea was that, given the complexity, it should be written once and be able to run on multiple platforms with minimal changes, keeping in mind that mobile platforms were the priority.

Most impressively, it was running very well on a first generation iPad, not to mention Android tablets, and of course, Mac, Windows, and Linux workstations.

It was ultimately dismissed by the stakeholders because there was no way to render a web page inside the App, which was something kivy couldn't do back then.
I prefer Python as a language but JS is much easier to package dependencies and ship a finished product.

Python is a big fat conda-docker-shitshow because it doesn't provide a way to do

etc. while coexisting in the same shell environment as something else that wants different versions.
Nope. It's actually "no real difference between active and sedentary people".

Here's a podcast with one of the researchers who studied this:

https://theproof.com/rethinking-diet-exercise-with-herman-po...

The gist is that he went to a modern hunter-gatherer community, studied their activities and measured their energy expenditure. To his incredulity, the results indicated that these very active people use as much energy as their sedentary counterparts living in civilisation.

Initial conclusion was that there must have been a mistake somewhere, but the same measurement using a different method yielded the same results.
If Apple leaves they are handing the keys to Google and Chinaphones.
I wish the 7 shuffle thing would stop getting repeated everywhere. It’s based off a faulty model, particularly for sleeved cards, since if we consider the deck as two piles left (L) and right (R), Pr[L|R] (the probability of taking from the left pile given the last draw was from the right), should be about 0.5 but is nearly 1 in many cases.

The riffle shuffle also has to be one of the only things you actually get worse at the more you practice it.
Our hospitals are not for-profit here in Canada, but they still have clusterfucked emergency rooms. (In some places, probably worse.)

There's always some kind of rationing of the limited resource. There it's based in large part on you or your insurance's ability to pay. Here it's based on how much the government/taxpayer is willing to shell out.
Interesting that now both the number 1 and number 2 people(on paper) are ethnic Azeris.
In that talk he mainly proposes simplicity (decomposition) rather than abstraction.

We don’t necessarily need indirection to understand a whole, complex thing.

In order to deal with complexity, we need to disentangle it, so we can understand each part in isolation. Hiding complexity with indirection, puts distance between the us and thing we have to reason about.

Abstraction is good for users (devs or not), so they don’t have to care about the details, but it doesn’t make it easier for us to build it.
Sometimes low barriers result in better results.

If the rent in a city is too high you are not going to get the MOST interesting restaurants, bars, and clubs. You are going to get only the businesses that will DEFINITELY convince an investor to write a check to dump on such high rents; regardless of whether that is a good idea or not.

The PhD cohorts for R1 Universities hasn't really gotten any bigger than 50 years ago. The number of academic jobs hasn't really gotten any bigger either. The only people having success in the system are the types of people that seem low-risk to the system.

So of course we should expect a decline in innovative ideas as time rolls on.
The only way to reverse this is to literally create more tenured jobs (or perhaps temporary tenure ex: 10 years you're guaranteed employment) and increase the size of PhD student cohorts so that they are large enough that iconoclasts can fit in again.
I disagree that people are complacent. What we are seeing today is the same thing East-germany saw under The Stasi.

The primary issue is that there is no means to correct the situation non-violently.

When you have people as a group lie for profit, and they corrupt your representatives and there is no one to hold them to account. They don't give you the choice, and you can't hold them accountable first because you find out about it later, but you still have no choice and you reach out to the people whose job it is to solely represent you in government and they do nothing, and the courts are inaccessible so you have no means.

At that point, despite declarations, there really isn't a rule of law then, it along with most of what people think of as their rights were taken by collusion gradually and quietly.

When that type of problem occurs, every citizen has a choice based upon the individual risk. Totalitarian governments kill people, or lock them up from kafka kangaroo courts (before they kill them) to give a semblance of legitimacy when that legitimacy has already passed. You show me the person, I'll show you the crime; is a famous saying.

When feedback systems fail, and can no longer respond, things will get worse until people will do something, and that will be destructive. The only choice they are given is when.

Totalitarian governments make no distinction between peaceful protests, they may not go after you initially, but collecting all the information upfront of everyone that does to black bag you later; or keep you under their thumb through enhanced coercion (given the systems) and harassment from every direction is not unheard of.

The moment you start surveilling peaceful protests is a known indicator that you are in fact in a totalitarian government.

Its not the people who are the problem. Its the fact that feedback mechanisms have been corrupted and are now broken.

Privacy is a necessary and requisite element for any insurgency in its beginnings, so by eliminating it no corrective action can take place and abuses will continually get worse.

You've had agency stripped from you without your consent and told all your life you live in a world that doesn't exist while misleading you at every step.

These situations historically always cascade, which is why we almost certainly will have a violent civil war in the near future. Its destructive, but that is the inevitable outcome when feedback systems are interfered with to the point where they can no longer function to keep people within reasonable bounds.

I have played Pinochle w friends who always wanted the dealer to shuffle the deck less since they believed that this would more likely result in good/interesting hands (four of kind, straight, pinochle...). This seems to stem from the notion that randomness looks different or is less interesting. If all sequence of cards are equally likely, the ratio of interesting hands to all hands seems worse for a less shuffled deck since the cards are interleaved throughout all the players.
A company changing their ideas about the kind of project they want to build literally every week is not "agile", it's just chaotic.

I don't see how healthcare can be considered a "fundamental right", like freedom to practice religion or ability to own property, because it relies on (and therefore places a burden on them) to deliver that service. If healthcare is my fundamental right, how can you, who is providing care, take a day off or quit the job entirely? Am I entitled to every possible test as frequently as possible plus every potential drug or medicine even as my prospects for regaining health diminish towards zero? Government's should have some system for providing "pretty good" healthcare to the largest percentage of its citizens as possible, but raising it to a "fundamental right" is not sustainable or possible or fair.

T-FREE is interesting, at least, I find it interesting in that I don’t really understand it. They take successive character triples of all words, and then hash them, and then use the hash table slots landed in as destinations to feed into an embedding space? Can I possibly be understanding that chart properly?

Can you explain this any better than the first few pages of the paper? I’d like some intuition about why T-FREE works; there are lots of reasons to prefer different tokenization schemes, but I can’t really get this one into my head from the paper, unfortunately.
Curricula from Gates-Backed 'Illustrative Math' Required in NYC High Schools
Most of the artifacts in British museums are stolen.

Sometimes those artifacts are not just historical, they have real world use today, like idols or religious objects used in active worship . They still don’t return it

British policies and views around this issue has always been terrible .

John Oliver had a segment summarizing the situation

https://youtu.be/eJPLiT1kCSM?si=BqGytuakYPC0O4Xw

many countries (especially China) have nationalization laws which makes the state the owner of any cultural artifact so claim of legal ownership by a British institution sketchy at best.

it would be quite difficult or even impossible to be able prove provenance. Highly doubt any religious or state institution which was the custodian of the piece pre British times , legally sold with documentation to anyone that can be proved today, so ownership would default to the state .

these are national laws not in UNESCO treaties so cannot be enforced outside national borders .

AFAIK there's no stainless steel without chromium. There are alternatives, like galvanizing or powdercoating.

I think if the price of chromium spiked enough, you'd just see more things move on to different materials. More aluminum, titanium, brass, bronze, etc. There are a lot of things made of stainless that don't necessarily have to be, simply because it's cheap and good enough.
You get worse w more practice? Explain. I have been practicing the riffle shuffle w/o using the table and keeping the cards contained -- am I going to get worse at it?
> Prioritizing elective surgeries. Elective surgeries bring in more money, so sometimes hospitals prioritize beds for surgeries instead of sick patients waiting in the ER.

Why aren't there facilities out there that just specialize in the elective surgeries and don't have ERs and other things that are money-losers?

Seems like you could provide all the money-making services without the money-losing ones.
That's a pretty broad, borderline-racist statement, and I think you should consider deleting it.
This is the D&D / video game fallacy — that being really good at hard things means you had forgo points in other skills.

I don't know. Is it not? I frequently check out of curiosity when I'm buying something the order numbers and similar things that might of interest, if I notice integers. I imagine if you become a public company that would be very sensitive information in terms of the company is doing, and there would be strong push to check for that data, to get an advantage in the stock market.

It doesn't seem right to me to expose with such ease how many sales you are doing. It's definitely not intentional to expose it.

Imagine this scenario: When I was 18, I openly expressed my hatred for gay people and even reported someone to the police just because they were gay. Now, 60 years later, I’m 78. Society’s values have changed a lot, and those views are now illegal and widely condemned. If someone were to find an old paper where I wrote those hateful things, I could face legal trouble and social backlash for something I once openly believed.

The point I want to make is that even if you don't have something to hide today does not mean that you won't be convicted tomorrow.

Edit: Someone else gave an example with the abortions, and that they are now illegal in many places.

I used Kivy once a few years ago for a device that had strict constraints on what it could run with the requirement to run the same code on desktop too (to display the same data). It worked very well for that.

It was not an elaborate app, so I cannot comment on how well it might work with something bigger, but it worked very well for what I needed.
You make a really good point. Defining risk in terms of financial ROI and trying to assess it algorithmically and default-gating more and more endeavors behind such risk assessment is a surprisingly coherent model for a lot of widespread modern rot

I only have a small sample size, but when I was in South Africa adopting one of my children, I noticed that South African children cried very differently from American ones — the sound my kid made crying was quite unique, and I thought it was unique to him, but one day, a thousand miles from where we adopted him, still in country, I heard a sound exactly like him crying, I thought it was him, and .. it was a neighbour’s kid. Ever since then I’ve wondered how common ‘accents’ show in children at pre-verbal stages. Very interesting!
