The US has a first-past-the-post electoral system, and in that particular system, the way the game theory plays out is that it always stabilizes to a two-party situation, and, very literally, your responsibility as a voter is in fact to vote for the candidate with which you are most closely aligned. Anything else is self-subverting.

"Sure the small-print is always going to say "anything bad that happens is someone else's fault", ..."

But that's not what this "small-print" says, i.e., the text you quoted and the terms and conditions page linked to in your comment.

Generally, it is not possible to disclaim liability for death, physical injury or property damage. The Crowdstrike disclaimer does not attempt to do so.

Nor do the terms ask the software user to assume any risk of death, physical injury or property damage. (Except for a warning about using "Malware Samples".)

That isn’t the point. The point is that primaries were held (or in some cases, not held) based on a belief that the man would be fit for office, and the fact that he isn’t was being hidden from the voters participating in those primaries. I’m far beyond hoping for honesty from our politicians on either side, but I would classify this as fraud, albeit difficult to prove.

I think too many people on both sides consider it “legal if you don’t get caught” to do basically anything they please. And I think the fact that each side acts a lot further apart on issues than we actually are is just as sad. There’s no middle voice anymore. Either you consume left-wing media and hear their reactions to the 5% radical right or vice versa. All it means is that most Americans agree that 10% of us are batshit crazy.
There's nothing to disagree with, here. FPTP has proven equilibrium states, and proven effective voting strategies.
Can't falsify the concept of causality, so by your logic everything "scientifically meaningful" is mumbo-jumbo
Economic attacks are a thing.
I think the counter argument is that it works provide a pathway for “ordinary” people to monetize IP. Copyrights exist as soon as a creative work is made, it’s an entirely different IP tool than, say, a patent that has a more arduous process.
FPTP systematically prevents third-party candidates from becoming viable. Literally, unless FPTP changes, voting for anyone other than D or R is factually a wasted vote.

I had that as well, and also grabbed a Sempron 3100+ a few years later. Both those chips are in the class of punching way beyond their intended weight.

Tualatin for its over clockable head room. The Sempron for its oddly large L1 cache for the spec.
The language has a lot going for it, however, its chosen scheme for identifier resolution undermines a lot of existing tooling people are used to using with other languages, which has kept a lot of people (including my self) away from seriously considering it.
Had the dubious joy of managing Domain/OS Unix children inside the Apollo virtualisation method of the day. Along with Nixdorf, these systems were all through Civil Engineering and NMR facilities at the university campus. And, just like Nixdorf they came with multiple open CVE (didn't exist as a term of art at the time, but lets ignore the anachronism) such as the games user, well known passwords, root sendmail, you-name-it.

Nice enough CPU and memory. Not a very nice Unix experience, analogous to HP-UX it was complex, and a bugger to configure C code on if you came from BSD land (Ultrix, SunOS/Solaris)

Sockets felt like a badly coded bolt-on. They really wanted to pretend the internet protocol stack wasn't there.
Today a top of the line Epyc Genoa system can have a total of 256 cores and 12 TB of memory, spread out over two sockets. I wonder how that'll look 10-15 years from now.
I fully agree. Sometimes it feels like so much effort is put into rust's async side that the rest of the language ends up taking a back seat and suffering for it.
Even in an enterprise setting heavily controlled by group policy and an AD domain, watertight and never-crash aren’t terms I’d ever associate with any windows release.
On a parenting blog I follow they talk about Triathlete widows and have a dim view of triathletes as spouses. I would be interested in a study if that is true? It’s a particularly time consuming sport, as it’s essentially training for 3 races at once. But many people play a lot of golf or tennis or softball and don’t seem to get the same shade.

I find the realtime translation feature quite compelling. Audio translation requires everything being said twice so doubles latency. If two people from two language speakings both used this, it's a massive step towards a universal translator.

A lot of the other features are meh, reminscent of what a 1980s high tech watch might do for you. feels like a PDA

The part where I get excited are the AI applications, this is also where it gets unethical. i.e. microexpression/voice analysis, AI suggested responses, realtime fact checking of what a person says, and so on. Applications in anything requiring human interaction, sales, meetings, dating, friendships, etc. Imagine being the voluntary puppet of an AI that tells you what to say. If it becomes mainstream, the implicit bias people make towards someone who wears the glasses and therefore may be AI-fed. The inequalities of the have versus have nots, with regards to having such a personal AI.

Ultimately their best bet if shooting for success would probably be to connect it to an AI though. That and social media feeds.

That’s still value though. It was illegal in the plot of Superman 3, I don’t see why it would be ignored here. Jaron Lannier has proposed a micro financing approach where the data owners are paid for their contributions to the data that is monetized by tech.
> it seemed obvious that the voters wouldn’t do things that seem utterly insane, and that surely nobody who’s very openly, shamelessly corrupt would be elected

Credit where credit is due, it actually seemed obvious to Benjamin Franklin that such a thing was inevitable .. hence the need for close attention to the machinery of government and regularly updating the constitution.

See:

I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no form of government, but what may be a blessing to the people if well-administered; and believe further, that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it,

"and can only end in despotism". Hmmm.
And yet again, it's a hardware device that's only usable with their specialized software, rather than being a general-purpose display that you can talk to from any device and use for your own creative purposes.

Still waiting for someone to build one of these that's just a display and not a locked-in proprietary ecosystem. By all means provide some applications at launch that can drive it, but let anyone build applications that talk directly to the glasses.

> The way it is now means that your vote's weight depends on your street address

Say huh? It is literally the same thing as now but in reverse and much much worse. At least now your vote has a chance of counting for something if only influencing your elector. If you live in a state that has agreed with the compact and has a small population, your vote doesn’t mean a damn thing even if you vote for the popular vote winner. Your vote is not yours, it’s the mob’s.
In fact that exact line of thinking was behind an effort to rewrite Firefox's rendering to be more like a game engine, a few years ago.

"Check the box next to anyone you approve of" is not hard to figure out.

"Write down the candidates you find acceptable, in order of preference" is not substantially harder, either, and provides additional benefit (the ability to express a preference among the candidates you approve of).

There is already a mandate that publicly funded research will be open access going forward (in the US). There are loopholes though, that I exist will be used just because it’s cheaper and quicker to do so. There’s also plenty of research published that is not publicly funded.

I assume a 486 was dramatically slower than the Apollo PRISM (which looks reasonably well-designed by today's standards).
So many parties in this made stupid mistakes:
- Crowdstrike for not doing proper QA.
- Customers for not doing some form of canary testing
- Microsoft for building an OS that is incapable of returning to a last-known-good in all situations
Well, games are seen as fun, so they can attract programmers even with low salaries.

Basically the same reason pet veterinaries and teachers and nurses and musicians and artists still attract plenty of candidates despite a comparatively low pay.

(Playing games is more fun than working with CRUD apps. But writing games and writing CRUD apps seem about equal in their probability distributions of fun.)

I saved a copy of this as soon as it popped up. These brochures are something special in themselves.

A big part of it is merely nostalgia, but another part is that they put a sizable effort behind these things. They were more than happy to highlight the unique qualities and capabilities of the computer and put more than a few days effort into the promotional material.

We still have that a little nowadays but it is usually on a website that has 'that' layout we have seen a thousand times trying to copy the Apple website design language.
I'm a fan of low-power, long-lifetime, low-weight displays in AR glasses, but the lack of a camera precludes a big class of applications. Even a simple low-resolution camera with a small FOV would open a ton of possibilities. That said, putting cameras in smart classes at all presents serious ID problems: camera modules are all just too damn big and cubic. We really need dedicated miniaturized cameras for devices like this one.
Why would not think they were very aware this was a possibility? Because it is a shock to you, you assume it would be a shock to them?

Do you really think they read the news to find the news? Or do you think there are layers and levels that you are not privy to?

China has had an auto industry for decades. And yet zero vehicles in the US.

That hasn’t been because of Biden. It’s because they make non-US market vehicles specifically.

We can’t make $5000 new vehicles. They can’t pass our regulations and standards while making the profits they like.

I worked with Beijing Jeep awhile back. They have no interest in the US market.

Don't feel sorry, that's arrogance too :)

More productively, how do you think your hypotheses differs from mine? All I'm saying here is, the question of how to find data in the world to answer the question of whether reducing inequality improves trust in society deserves attention and interest.

Don't just stop at the null hypothesis? Cynicism means, waiting for data to reveal itself, even in absence of any nonnullhypothesis. Quite (median) physicist, to be fair?

You also don't have to assume the null hypothesis that I am not like you :)

For robust rollback you need an encapsulation of the full dependency closure that can be rolled forwards and backwards atomically. These days containers are a decent enough solution for that. Anything changes means everything changes, at the same time. We have the technology.
This mess has shown that you don't need an age limit for the presidency? He was going to lose the election exactly because of his perceived cognitive decline related to his age.

The DNC is at fault for selected him as the candidate.
Most countries with presidential systems and FPTP have third party runs to such an extent that it's impossible to decide who the first, second, third... party is. It's more than such and such a famous politician runs for the presidency and sets up a party if they can find one to support their bid.

The US does not have successful third party runs because of the uncertainty and difficulty of getting onto the ballot, the possibility of getting onto enough ballots that you will harm your allies but not enough ballots to win, and the fact that the electoral college means you can't rely on running up the vote in your home regions in order to get yourself into the running on a national level. It's not FPTP that prevents third party presidential runs in the US, but state electoral administration, state primaries, and the electoral college.

In any case, the effect is the same. It doesn't matter why the US only has two major candidates at this presidential election and the last presidential election and the next presidential election. It just matters that the US only has two major candidates at this presidential election and the last presidential election and the next presidential election. Abstention is nothing more than half a vote against the candidate closest to you. It's not a motivator for an extra candidate to run next time.

In this reading, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will probably have a bigger consequence than Ranked Choice Voting, because it will allow candidates to run up the vote in home regions, which will create new paths to the White House. Ranked Choice Voting just allows voters of the least favored candidate to make a protest and then come home. If you had had Bernie, Biden and Trump running at the last election with RCV, then Biden would have won if Bernie voters had preferenced him, and Trump would have won if they didn't. There's no actual alternative in which Bernie wins. So why would you stand if you're guaranteed to lose? It costs money and burns bridges. The extra candidates want a lower hurdle to winning (for instance, 38% in a field of four), not a higher hurdle (like 50%+1 in a field of four).

The consequences are different at the level of an individual district, because a member of Congress is a very different role than a national president.

Ok, unfortunately this is philosophy mumbo-jumbo, and says more about the sad state of philosophy today than any claims about consciousness. One could write a much more interesting and compelling paper about AI and consciousness by closely reading Kant, Heidegger, and of course Hubert Dreyfus, but it seems like the task of actually reading philosophy has been overwhelmed by the desire to be "scientific" about a task that eclipses all science.

One of the founders of Y-Combinator studied philosophy in his undergrad, I forget which one, but I remember he said in his bio that nobody should take classes in Philosophy, they should study history, the classics, and art history instead if they're interested in the humanities. I was a bit put off at first, but if this is what philosophy means to 90% of undergraduates, then I would strongly advise them all to avoid those classes. Unfortunately Art History might be the best shot at getting an actual critical education these days.

I understand that big text is the UI soup du jour, but it's so large that the page is borderline unusable.

Content takes up so much space that each section is taller than my viewport (I'm on a 13" laptop), which leads to me having to scroll to read a one-liner. This makes the entire page feel fragmented. Every element needs to be scaled down ~20%.
> "Joe Biden is older than 80 lol"

Joe Biden is older than radiocarbon dating (so we can't be sure exactly how old he is).

[it was an idea for a novelty website: things Biden is older than; including all the common computer stuff, but also ejector seats, SCUBA aqualungs, basic oxygen steelmaking, Velcro, the float glass process by which all common flat panes of glass are made, hairspray, spray paint, hovervrafts, LASERs, microwaves, mass production of Penicillin...]
I think the above was a simplification. GUI rendering is a good example of jack of all trades, master of none. It doesn't use tight render loops like game engines but it much more flexible in terms of UI possibilities.

There is also the issue that GPU's are oddly terrible at generating 2D elements of which a desktop has thousands of them. There are things like Glyph caching but they can only go so far.

Having the CPU doing the majority of the work with a few rasterization tasks to the GPU makes sense.
That's because everyone including Europeans spend plenty of their time watching the US election dramas so obviously it starts as early as possible because there's strong demand for it. It's a big business for everyone: the politicians, media, tech companies, the long line of hangers on, etc.

In Canada we know who the next 2 primary candidates were a year ago and elections not until next yr. That's almost always how it works, whether it's formalized or not.
It doesn't. What makes you think it does?
Synthetic data doesn't require using another ML models output as training data. One incredibly successful way of generating useful synthetic data is using rules.

For example, AlphaZero uses synthetic data (playing against other versions of itself) but it does gain information because the data is generated against the rules of the game.

Similarly, word2vec and other vector representations use synthetic training data, but that data is derived from observations of text (no, it's not using raw text, each training instance is generated from the text, with varying levels of simplicity of course).

Tesseract is trained using synthetic data generated from font files and simulated "rendering errors."

Synthetic data should not be underestimated.
What ethical obligation do I have to let people tell me lies to my literal face?
Turkish here. It's hard to believe, but there are different kinds of ice cream in Turkey.

The average ice-cream ("dondurma" in Turkish) you'd get in Turkey is the one you expect: sorbet or gelato, usually in a cone. It's what you'd get when you ask for an ice-cream at a random place.

The one described in this post is a specific kind of ice-cream we call "ice-cream from Maraş" ("Maraş dondurması" in Turkish). Which is great - but the post makes it sound like it is "the Turkish ice-cream" which is a bit misleading. You don't find it everywhere.

One of the things that frustrates me in everyday life is people being distracted by a number of things while trying to engage with them in conversation. I understand that as we don more and more augmenting technology, we're inevitably going to have to share our attention with this technology, at least until we have BCIs, but it just makes me feel very anxious about the near-future of human-human interactions.
