Are you saying we used to always expect men to do all of the above, or do you agree with me that we ask more from men than we used to?

Wonder if it would help teeth as well?
Insert a slur after every other word. The LLMs filters won't allow it to reproduce any of the content it scrapes.

In research you often learn that such totally unexpected, out of place things are often artifacts. Being too quick to get excited about that leads to disappointment and can seriously damage your reputation in the scientific community.

It seems terrible, but a dampener on excitement is often needed for focus.
That's normal. Information is a very valuable resource. It's often the case that advertising companies can be very profitable while people advertising using them have worse margins.
Except the very few that will take that option when there's a better open source alternative for free won't make it worth it.

Fine.

I hate *working for* startups. It's fun when your young, not when you have bills.
> it's actually worse when you find out it is in fact correct but it goes against everything in biology books: how the hell are you going to explain this to people?

Maybe it's just a cultural difference between biology and physics, but don't they build those huge supercolliders because they're hoping to find something that they can't explain? The more theory you can destroy with evidence the better... or so I thought.
Wasn't if Phil who said something to the effect of, "If it wasn't for luck, I'd win every hand!" Which seems pretty much the thesis of this writing (though without the arrogance); ultimately resolving in, process as a better indicator of skill than results, and the best deduction of process in luck skewed results is consistency over time which essentially requires more data to deduce.
Rust’s stdlib is intentionally minuscule so that breaking changes can be made to important crates. Once a crate becomes part of Rust, no breaking change can ever be made to it, which is a pretty high risk situation (if chrono had been added, jiff would not be able to). Better would be for Rust to simply fund development of critical crates and let the marketplace work out which crates those are.
It'll be like Android's location sharing with Google. Nothing works unless you agree to a wholesale google location surveillance. Then they can say you agreed to this.

Newsletters used to be delivered through regular mail, they weren't always emails you intended to read but ultimately ignore.
Such schemes likely exist, but you would be hard pressed to find any system that wouldn’t also be burdensome for real humans to deal with. This is basically the same thing as CAPTCHA.

I’m curious if you’re more concerned about the corpus of your work being used in the training of a model, or, parts of your work being analyzed by an existing model? For the former, I suspect copyright laws will eventually come around that afford some protection. But as for having something summarize your work, I sense that no copyright laws would be made for that.

I'm friends with a bunch (15+) of people with PhDs. Many of them have partners and children.

That said, several of them joke with me that the fact that they have a PhD and I have a Masters is an indication I am smarter than they are.

Elevated cortisol (in response to the stress of running or whatever) increases bone resorption and inhibits bone growth. This isn't necessarily an issue for anyone doing lots of cardio, but it's an increase in risk. It also reduces protein synthesis, which is important for both muscle and bone (it isn't just calcium).

They recommend using keybindings instead of adding syntax for such interactive-only tricks. In this case, I think alt+up was the default Fish keybinding. (I think in Bash, alt+. does the same?)

The article does a good job of arguing that there's a big need.

But it does nothing to answer the question in the title.
> These included, for instance, a run of voters whose second names were identical except that the first letter was changed, in alphabetical order; and a run of voters whose names were translations of consecutive numbers.

This is just hilariously lazy. (Other than the fact that this is obviously not cool)
I see more single mothers here in Africa than i have ever come across in western countries. Lack of work leaves men unable to care for their family causing them to simply give up and walk away, leaving the mothers to fend for themselves. I see no supportive structures, discipline or culture to counteract that.

I haven't been here long, so my impressions are not founded on a lot of experience, but it looks like what is happening is that the villages are unable to sustain themselves forcing people to leave the village and seek their fortune elsewhere, which causes just as much of a breakdown of family and social structures as it does in the west.
> Most of their customers get them after getting pwned and learning their lesson the hard way.

Sure, that applies to my company, but the counter-factual isn't "nothing is done and we keep getting pwned", the counter-factual is that instead of the resources spent on crowdstrike and their various problems (which have been regular since we adopted them, the recent mess was just the biggest), those resources are spent on improving security infrastructure without crowdstrike.
This definition is far from universal.
primarily because it would put any publisher or site not named Facebook or Google out of business, or have to shift all of their ads to google or facebook.

You would have to break up Google in order for them not to have a a insane market advantage if they got rid of 3pc. Google would still have access to all their consumer markets, google analytics, etc, and everyone else would have to do business with google or go out of business.
Here is a counterexample: Universal cheap AI girlfriends and boyfriends.

These would have a mildly depressing effect on the economy for a couple of generations, and then the population goes to zero.

Is an All-in-One Database the Future?
Just posting a thought experiment here.

As data challenges become more defined and difficult, purpose-built databases have emerged to optimize specific problems, leading to a proliferation of specialized solutions. This has resulted in complex and messy data infrastructures, patched together by third-party data pipelines and event streaming products.

Companies rarely rely on a single primary data storage system, often deploying multiple databases to handle different needs, which creates an intricate web of interconnected data systems.

But, the idea of a generalist, all-in-one database that is scalable, performant across contexts, and commercially appealing remains elusive.

Different database types, such as relational OLTP, non-relational document, and memory-based cache, are optimized for specific use cases and face unique challenges that prevent effective consolidation. While tools like Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) attempt to simplify interactions across databases, they fall short in managing non-relational types, underscoring the complexity of creating a unified solution.

Postgres, with its extensibility through plugins, comes close but still falls short of being a one-stop-shop. Ultimately, the technical and practical hurdles make an all-in-one database unfeasible, leaving the modern data stack as a complex but necessary reality.

In theory, an all-in-one database would struggle with optimization, data model overhead, and latency. Each database type is built for specific use cases, making a universal solution inefficient.

Closest Solution Today: Postgres

While not a full one-stop-shop, Postgres can be extended with plugins like pg_vector for vector search. However, it's not intended to solve every problem efficiently, evidenced by complex data stacks in companies using Postgres.

Sorry, the comment wasn't meant to be a personal judgement on you.
Super Mario 64 had abysmal performance for a title on the N64 that wasn't even that complicated compared to things that would later release on the console.

But in the 90s, when you got home with your very first device capable of rendering "real time" 3D graphics for $200, you didn't really care that "real time" meant 12fps at times. We used to have pretty low standards for framerate.
If you take a shot with a 35mm and take same shot with a 85mm and then crop the 35mm to the same fov as the 85m the image will look _identical_ (not withstanding lens characteristics etc) the compression you talk about is due to the _distance_ between the subject and then lens changing . You will get the same compression effect if you shoot with a 50mm from 30 feet away …

I personally don't have problems with developers having kernel access. I can't imagine any open source OS fan objecting to this.

I do have problems with MS or any other vendor using kernel access unnecessarily. MS Paint should not run in the kernel. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

The question is whether MS or any other vendor could provide the feature set their product enjoys without running in the kernel. If Windows offered anything like eBPF but MS security apps chose to run in-kernel instead of through eBPF, then MS should be forced to give competitors the same kernel access. If MS would play fair and restrict their non-OS teams to userspace they wouldn't have to play fair by providing access to kernelspace.

The argument is that it is impossible for MS non-OS teams to play in userspace because MS doesn't provide the APIs to make it possible. It seems that some other OSes might not suffer from this deficiency.

Stick to the facts, show us a link supporting what you said (it's not hard to see that many articles written shortly after the event cited a "loud popping noise")
Hi all, I'm excited to introduce a project I built to scratch my own itch I call cloving. It helps generate code, unit tests, commit messages and more all from your terminal. It currently supports both local and remote LLM providers like OpenAI, Gemini, and more. What makes cloving different is its detailed automated prompt generation techniques. Your feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated!
Why? I get that publishers want ads but cookies are not required for ads. Safari and Firefox have 3P cookie restrictions already.
Apart from getting inspired (like other replies have mentioned), there is plenty of insight to be obtained from watching sports. It is quite fun to observe and analyze the strategy and technical aspects of a sport - especially a sport that you play and train yourself. If someone never partakes in that sport, then yes - they may not necessarily understand the subtleties that happen in a particular move. But even if you're a hobby player, watching top pro athletes or teams utilize the techniques you are learning can make you appreciate the amount of work, skill, practice, and determination that goes into it. And that can be useful for people to apply in other areas of their lives.

It works for me in Firefox when I set the color-theme(?) for websites to light. There is automatic, light and dark. Dark seems to deactivate this completely, and automatic seems to use dark because of my system-settings.

I don't know how this is called in english, and the Firefox-documentation sucks so hard that there is no way to get to the english version from my language.
It doesn't build on windows either. It looks to be missing some dependency.

Can I ask what this tool does? I was trying to figure it out (the GitHub page isn't terribly clear) and came to the same conclusion you did (delete a chunk of the transcript and the tool would delete that audio).

I think I just lack experience in this area. I've used Audacity to cut out parts of audio / splice together two clips and that's about it, so I clearly don't have enough background to understand what this tool does.

Can someone clarify what this tool does, please? :)
Pay walled, so here's the article:

In a major reversal, Google is ending a plan to eliminate cookies in its Chrome browser after four years of efforts, delays and disagreements with the advertising industry.

The decision to keep the pervasive tracking technology known as "cookies" in Chrome comes after a series of setbacks, as both digital-advertising companies and regulators objected to the plan and to Google's proposed replacement technologies.

Chrome users can already choose to block cookies in the browser's settings. Now, instead of eliminating them, Google will present users with a prompt to decide whether to turn cookies on or off, said the U.K. privacy regulator, which has been overseeing Google's plan to block cookies.

"We recognize this transition requires significant work by many participants and will have an impact on publishers, advertisers, and everyone involved in online advertising," Anthony Chavez, vice president of Google's Privacy Sandbox, the company's initiative to replace cookies, wrote in a blog post Monday. "In light of this, we are proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice...We're discussing this new path with regulators, and will engage with the industry as we roll this out."

Google first announced the plan to kill cookies in 2020, saying it would do so within two years to help protect users' privacy when surfing the linternet. Advertisers objected, saying that Google's plan to replace cookies would force them to shift spending to the search giant's digital-ad products.

In 2021, U.K. regulators opened an investigation into whether the plan would hurt competition in digital advertising. Google pledged to collaborate with the regulator and committed to give the agency at least 60 days notice before removing cookies to review any plan, and potentially impose changes to it.

As that investigation dragged on, Google's schedule to kill cookies by 2022 slipped.

In April, The Wall Street Journal reported that the British government's Information Commissioner's Office would issue a report criticizing Google's proposed replacement technologies as deeply flawed. A few days later Google said it would delay cookies' demise beyond last announced target date of the end of this year.

Copying isn’t just how design works, it’s how everything works. Humans are imitation machines.

We create new things by collecting, regurgitating and mutating stuff we experience, just like LLMs. In a vacuum man has no ideas outside of base impulses.

Hence why originality is a novice belief. The closer you get to any field, the more you realize the stories around who made all the breakthroughs are BS media narratives. Most if not all steps forward in any field have hundreds of people clawing at similar ideas concurrently.
That is how the brain wants to see. When I got a new pair of glasses everything looked very curvy. After a week every line was straight again because the brain learned the new transformation
Agreed, I don't think the value of a semantic diff would be in hiding changes. Instead, the value should be in generating more useful diffs.

Normal diff often gets "confused" compared to how you'd logically identify the code. For example, if you extract a piece of a larger function as a smaller function, instead of showing that a piece of code was moved, it will show that you changed a header, deleted some lines, added others below, etc. A semantic diff should be able to refine these diffs in a better way, but shouldn't hide them. Even for the whitespace changes, I'd like it to show the diff, but the overlay to explain that only whitespace is different, so I know I don't need to look at it carefully.
As a lifelong Denver-area resident, I thank you for this post. You have made a marginal improvement to our traffic problem.
Awesome project indeed!

Since I have you here, what is the "DMA Sniffer" that you mention in your doc? A very quick search on the Internet didn't reveal too much.

There might need to be some regulations made so that lenders should discount family background, but only consider grades/earnings potential/etc.

But on the plus side, this should theoretically bring tuition costs down as there won't be effectively unlimited capital for tuition. It also encourages potential students to consider more carefully whether getting a degree makes sense.

Perhaps Pell Grants should also be expanded in eligibility (to make it so that more poor, but motivated kids can get access to higher education).

The goal of these changes would be to:
- Reduce the market distortions that are created by giving out federally backed student loans (reducing or at the minimum slowing the pace of growth of tuition costs)
- Reduce the burden on taxpayers by eliminating public student loans
- Makes it so that kids don't get stuck with student loans that are a drag on them for life, at worst, they'll have to deal with bankruptcy

Potential downsides:
- Reduces number of people studying potentially useful/valuable to society degrees that don't have much expected monetary return
- Potentially reduces average level of education in the population (could be untrue if it also sufficiently reduces tuition costs)
> In light of this, we are proposing an updated approach that elevates user choice. Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time.

If this is a more prominent & robust implementation of "Do Not Track" with actual teeth from the browser, I would be fully on board. It probably won't be, but it could.
Unfortunately they were conscious, they were painful deaths and it was the experiment that killed them. They were not euthanized after the experiment which is more the norm. I was told there was no viable alternative to obtaining the data. I only found out because I was helping process the data and I asked where the data was from.

What I don't like is that the inefficiencies in science means that many, and perhaps most, of the experiments that are being done are probably unnecessary and only being done due to bureaucratic inertia. I lament the horrible state of science and the needless suffering that causes both humans and animals.

So on one hand I think it's possible to justify the what is in effect torture of animals if a case can be made that the science obtained from it could be worth it. On the other hand I don't think it's normally the case that this is true and science should do a better job in justifying this torture. If unable to then it should stop.
You are already subsidizing non-work in others, however currently their non-work is at a 'job' that they commute to every day.
I wonder how many iterations we will need before engineers are happy with a workflow solution. Netflix had multiple solutions before Maestro, such as metaflow. Uber built multiple solutions too. Amazon had at least a dozen internal workflow engines. It's quite curious why engineers are so keen on building their own workflow engines.

Update: I just find it really interesting that many individuals in many companies like to build workflow engines. This is a not deriding comment towards anyone or Netflix in particular. To me, such observation is worth some friendly chitchat.

All the studies on UBI are flawed.

The whole point of UBI is that everyone gets the money.

When you give a select few extra money they can do things that they otherwise wouldn't. When you give everyone money the value of the money just decreases.
