> how did you jump from C to all programming languages, in the context of that statement? I did not say anything of the kind.

Simply by taking further steps in the same direction. The submission is about Aro, and therefore comments about Aro are on-topic. By your own stated logic, Aro is a C compiler, and therefore comments about other C compilers are also on-topic. One could then go on to say that C compilers in turn pertain to C, and C in turn is a programming language, therefore rendering all comments about programming on-topic under a submission about Aro.

Granted, the example is a bit of a hyperbole, and I doubt anyone would really jump that far. But I find your assertion that a submission about a program (in this instance Aro) renders comments about all other programs of the same kind (in this instance C compilers for other languages) on-topic to be much in the same vein.

I have, of course, read your other comments, but haven’t found anything that would help me understand or accept your argument (assuming that is what I'm supposed to ‘get’). I suppose it's not so ‘trivially obvious’ to me. Don't feel obliged to elaborate any further if you feel that's a waste of your time, though. Good luck!
A great, possibly the greatest article I read this year ended with "your welcome" instead of "you're". Fix asap! Or maybe I didn't get the joke, that's a possibility
I'm wondering if the Obamas haven't because Michelle hasn't ruled out running. She has said she wouldn't but that may have been to support Biden and now that there is an opening, she may take it.
Compare him from his time as the vice president vs now. It is not even close. He has deteriorated so much in his speech. People can't even understand him which was never a problem back then.
There's a difference between "how many CPU-hours will my task need" and "how much memory does this program use to even start up".
This is false. The FDA does not grant approval to market anything solely on the basis of "low risk for adverse events." The game makers had to run studies demonstrating that it improved ADHD measures. The link you provided says that as well:

"The FDA reviewed data from multiple studies in more than 600 children, including studies that evaluated, among other things, whether participants demonstrated improvements in attention function, as measured by the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), academic performance measures, and other assessment tools."
I'm interested too. Thanks for the post.
Just looking at the top 1k comments to that joe biden's tweet, it looks like they are all written by one man. At least written by from one side i.e. hate and insults and pro republican side!

I've seen the same and done similar. I'm now in the unhappy position of voting against instead of voting for.
Here's the reading list I created for the undergrad module I taught:

Haskell

Books:

- Maybe Haskell by Pat Brisbin [https://thoughtbot.gumroad.com/l/maybe-haskell]: Very good book, available under a "pay what you want" model (or free pdf here [https://books.thoughtbot.com/books/maybe-haskell.html]).

- Learn you a Haskell for Great Good by Miran Lipvača: Available to read online for free [http://www.learnyouahaskell.com/].

- Real World Haskell by Bryan O'Sullivan, Don Stewart, and John Goerzen: Available to read online for free [http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/].

Online tutorials:

- List of resources on haskell.org

- Haskell Wiki [https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell]

- The Basics of Haskell series [https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/school/starting-with-haskell...] by Bartosz Milewski, from the School of Haskell website [https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/] (which also contains a number of other great resources on Haskell more generally).

- The Haskell Phrasebook [https://typeclasses.com/phrasebook]: a free quick-start Haskell guide comprised of a sequence of small annotated programs. It stands out from more traditional Haskell tutorials in that, instead of using the principles of Functional Programming as the theoretical starting point from which to start introducing the motivation and syntax of Haskell as a programming language, instead, it introduces Haskell syntax directly using code snippets that mimic traditional imperative programming as much as possible. This is intended to help users coming from imperative languages familiarise themselves with Haskell syntax first, and then slowly build on that by using progressively more idiomatic Haskell code, motivating its suitability for Functional Programming.

Other:

- The Hoogle Search Engine [https://hoogle.haskell.org/]; search for haskell operators or expressions here to get information on them. Good for looking up functions and operators defined in the Prelude (the haskell standard library) and other modules.

- List of haskell reserved symbols and keywords with brief description / explanations [https://wiki.haskell.org/Keywords].
> For example, while the overall life expectancy in the US is around 73, for an individual at age 50 it's around 80

Small but important note, you picked life expectancy for males, not all individuals. For females the life expectancy at birth is over 79 years. The average life expectancy for someone in the US without specifying their sex at birth is north of 76 years. And life expectancy is trending upwards and has for a long time as we eliminate more early mortalities.
> information told to another party has no expectation of privacy.

I truly detest this phrase, but: “Citation Needed”
It was written during a time when the average life expectancy of men was around 40.
I was kind of hoping my original comment here would lead to more meaningful conversation like this. I have to assume there are others here that feel similar to me, but it's an opinion that many may not raise for exactly like many of the ones I got here (down votes and arguments for why I'm wrong and must vote).

I'm not opposed to ranked choice voting or straight majority rules voting. I could see voting for congressional representatives that I believe to be serious about such a change, but the president really doesn't have any say in it.

I'm also totally open to other potentials the Democrats could pick. The bar is really low in my opinion, I just need to see someone that I don't expect to be actively harmful to the country, especially with so many different challenging scenarios playing out globally right now.
It's only not worth it if software indeed consistently does the LMUL=1 unrolling. Which I suppose most will, and vrgather with LMUL>1 will be roughly dead-on-arrival, but who knows.
Most people are treated with more kindness and acceptance than trans people. We all know that.

People don't unstar projects on github.

The metric to look for is the slope of that curve - how many new people get interested in deno each day? The slope of that curve is clearly trending downward.
Garbage in garbage out feels like a road bump more than a blockade. It doesn't seem far fetched at all for a future model to use known clean datasets to train on, and then become a curator of larger datasets.
Because critics always say what they don't want but rarely think through what they do.

The very likely case of Palestine replacing Israel would be a rapidly anti-US, anti-Western, anti-Democratic government and a loss of a very valuable port in the middle east due to the, y'know, rapidly anti-US issue.

Also depopulating Israel of Jews would almost certainly result in another Holocaust. Because Hamas - the most likely-to-govern organization for Palestine - has long enshrined Jew murder in its charter.
There's no responsibility at any level, is the thing. Those people who couldn't fly might get a rebooking and some vouchers sent out to them, but they won't really get made whole. The airport knows they won't really be on the hook, so they don't demand real responsibility from their vendors, and so on.
As you mentioned, the data processing inequality[1] applies here, but I imagine synthetic data could help training squeeze out more from the existing data.

Base building, collectathons, grand strategy, delivery simulators there’s plenty out there to get ADHD kids into a flow state where their brains start wiring towards sustaining focus. While avoiding hyper focus through gameplay mechanics. This, at $99 a month being more expensive than anything else, doesn’t seem to do any of that.

I should have been more clear here. I will likely still cast a ballot but leave President empty. Above I meant that I wouldn't be voting for President if the options are Trump and Harris, but I should have clarified that.

Thanks for calling that out.
Nonstimulant medication is also very effective, but with the caveat that it takes longer to kick in. The second caveat is that it’s devoid of any recreational value during the startup period, which has an outsized effect on people’s perception of the medication “working”.

Stimulant medication tends to be favorably accepted at first (for entirely unsurprising reasons, even though some people don’t experience quite the same euphoria) but it actually has a high discontinuation rate. The number of people who start stimulants, think they’re the best thing ever, then slowly decline into generally disliking them is far higher than you’d ever imagine if you only ever read short anecdotes on Reddit from people writing glowing reviews after their first dose.

Obligatory: I’m not taking about everyone and I don’t need to hear 10 different anecdotes about people who still like their medications. I’m talking about macro level phenomenon. Stimulant prescriptions are a hot topic on TikTok right now and a lot of people who aren't really ADHD are getting into prescriptions without a full picture of what they’re signing up for.
I disagree. I know quite a few people who are incredibly charismatic, but exceptionally narrow in their cognitive competence. In fact, one of the problems that I would highlight about charisma is that it allows you to be get away with a lot more stupid shit than you would if you had to get by on other talents.
> There is this insidious cognitive bias in (software?) engineers to only consider the happy path when thinking about the consequences of their actions.

This applies to buying off the shelf software (and other things) too. Vendor provided software is not immune from bugs or shortcomings or terrible vendors.
> The party did not allow it

Except in this case "the party" is actually "people that vote for Democrats". It's insane and infuriating to try to blame this on "the elites" when a significant majority of Democratic voters wanted Biden to step aside. If anything, it was "the elites" who tried to hide Biden's true condition and then tried to gaslight us all by pretending his debate performance was just some kind of bad one-off.
Why is Obama (I assume Michelle?) in those odds (and, interestingly, at #3 right behind Kamala)? Has she ever indicated she might run?

Not his fault per se, but he certainly didn't help the Russia/Ukraine situation by pushing for Ukraine to join NATO. That was one of Russia's hot button issues and he wasn't exactly diplomatic about it.

It's fairly easy to do accidentally in the case of a large corporation like this: different parts of it don't check with other parts. In this case one part added some public domain photos to their site, which is scummy but legal, and then another part assumed that those photos were like the many others they have exclusive rights to. In another case mentioned in that article it's a third party which lied to them. Accidental doesn't mean they aren't reckless with their threats, however, which large-scale copyright license collection systems almost by necessity are, and that causes a lot of harm (and they are rightfully losing cases over it).

Two Cheers For Anarchism was a book that challenged my priors:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Cheers_for_Anarchism

I'm not an anarchist, but it's a wonderful read and includes a quote that has shaped my life ever since:

> “One need not have an actual conspiracy to achieve the practical effects of a conspiracy. More regimes have been brought, piecemeal, to their knees by what was once called ‘Irish Democracy,’ the silent, dogged resistance, withdrawal and truculence of millions of ordinary people, than by revolutionary vanguards or rioting mobs.”

https://consensus.app/home/blog/does-iq-decrease-with-age/

"But global IQ is an amalgam of different kinds of intelligence, the most popularly studied being fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence which together—along with abilities called working memory and processing speed—are combined to yield global or Full Scale IQ. Fluid intelligence or fluid reasoning (abbreviated Gf) reflects the ability to solve novel problems, the kind that aren’t taught in school, whereas Crystallized intelligence or crystallized knowledge (Gc) measures learning and problem solving that are related to schooling and acculturation. And they have very different aging curves.

Gc averages 98 at ages 20-24, rises to 101 by ages 35-44, before declining to 100 (ages 45-54), then 98 (55-64), then 96 (65-69), then 93 (70-74), and 88 (75+).

The decline with age in Gf—solving novel problems—is even more precipitous. Gf peaks at ages 20-24 (100), drops gradually to 99 (25-34) and 96 (35-44) before starting a roller coaster plunge to 91 (45-54), 86 (55-64), 83 (65-69), 79 (70-74), and 72 (75+).

These values are just averages for the entire US population of adults, with the mean IQs for each age higher for more educated individuals. But the same rate of decline across the age range seems to occur for all adults, on average, whether they are semi-skilled workers or university professors. "

When it comes to solving novel problems, the population of 81 year olds is more than two standard deviations worse than the population of 22 year olds. Alternately, the average 81 year old is poorer at solving novel problems than 95% of 22 year olds, and the average (100-IQ) 22 year old is better at solving problems than 95% of 81 year olds; I am including the 22 year olds that you rarely meet because they are silo'd off in a special needs caretaking system.

There is an EXTREMELY PRONOUNCED decline of global IQ with age LONG before dementia, that it is almost completely verboten to admit exists because it combines our fear of our own mortality with our fear of a corporeal self with our fear of being alone with our fear of being useless with the minimum baseline of respect for our elders. Nobody wants to say, or be forced to admit, "I am not as smart or capable as the man I used to be," and many of us would rather eat a bullet or put our fist through someone's face, but it is true nonetheless. By the time any of us have the authority to start forming conventional wisdom (eg, writing textbooks, or doing interview shows, or helping our children raise our grandchildren), this story is not one we want to tell others or ourselves, and so most people cannot accept it.
Hmm interesting take. If I understand you correctly, your theory of change is that by not voting in this election (since you see either candidate as similarly good/bad), you might have a long term impact where, in the next election, parties will need to make more of an effort to appeal to their voter bases to increase turnout, resulting in better candidates in the future, correct? Possibly breaking into a multi party system instead of the current dual party system?

Also do you think the next 4 years will be similarly good/bad under either candidate? Or do you think one would bring the country more in line with your preference, but don't want to vote in the hopes of bringing about change to the dual party system, or to make the parties try harder to meet the needs of voters like you in future elections?

One of my friends works in the rehab field. Prescription stimulants are a common starting point for a lot of younger kids entering their programs right now.

One of the major problems is some primary care doctors and nurse practitioners have started prescribing stimulants to anyone who requests them. Even worse, some of these people are prescribing unreasonably high doses (some times 2/3rd of the maximum allowable dose are given to small teens as their starting dose, which is absolute insanity).

It’s not just pointless fear mongering. These drugs are very popular recreationally among high school and college students and prescriptions are often sought to allow them to drink more alcohol for longer into the night.
That's gotta be a pretty well-studied number.
Third party candidates have effectively no chance as long as a majority of the country falls into the view that voting for anyone other than a Democrat or Republican is a wasted vote. For the third parties, gaining support and more importantly funding is extremely difficult when we all fall into the D/R categories.

Decreased voter participation would signal a growing lack of faith or trust in the two major parties. That can open doors for fund raising for third parties, because they now can point to a percent of the population that historically did vote and stopped. Similarly, it would open doors for gaining support and votes because they can make the same argument to voters - 20% (or whatever the decrease is) of voters gave up on both parties. Join our party if you lost faith in the others, and in a 3 way race that puts us very much in the hunt for fundamentally shaking up the system we have today.

From the website, I’m not clear on how this is actually working. (On the assumption it’s working at all, I have not read the research)

The FAQ says “EndeavorRx uses sensory stimuli and simultaneous motor challenges designed to target areas of the brain that play a key role in attention function.”

So is it just meant to exercise those areas? “Uses sensory stimuli and simultaneous motor challenges” could describe a million other games.

You have a really strong union.
And you can't even get hired -- by law -- if you're over 30 years old. It's absurd. The FAA is complaining that they don't have enough ATCs, but have done absolutely nothing to broaden the hiring pool.

"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"
I'm a bit surprised that copy-and-patch is "new". I remember writing a JIT framework that did something similar back in the aughts and I got the idea from reading docs that were already old then.

I understand people at IBM were doing it industrially for Java bytecode in the late 90s under the name quasi-static compilation, and the DyC/Tempo folks were doing similar things over in C land under different names. There were some minor differences due to the technology of the day, but it was broadly similar. For example, explicitly building to IR was uncommon outside Java land and register scheduling didn't have a lot of choices to make. The Java stuff even allowed the template specializations to exist on other computers and be dynamically loaded and validated over the network, for thin-client reasons. Very cool for the early 2000s.

Quite right! We can only regret that similar minimum-age limits weren't put in place for other offices.

Here in ye olde Europe (and I believe the same for the U.S.), it is unfortunately common to see extremely young, as in literal college students, parliamentarians -- most of them handsome, well-spoken and opinionated; and some also coincidentally the children of famous politicians or businesspeople :-)
Every function that the government is doing, was done (better) at some point by private enterprises.

About levelling the playing field, the problem is regulation in general. Monopolies are only bad if they are supported by violence=governments (for example you could consider Google a monopoly but it's a market based one). You don't need a lot of competition, just remove all regulatory barriers to entry/exit (note: barriers to exit are also important).

It's not about the process of building a model. It's about the copyright infringement to acquire the training set and it's about the copyright infringement when producing output. Humans, just like these AI companies, can infringe copyrights by downloading copyrighted material. Humans, just like AI programs, can produce material that is derivative of material protected by copyright. Whatever the model represents and whatever is in your brain is not high on the list of concerns.
I'd be happy for us to switch to

Neither option is helpful this time around though. That said, I'd vote for congressional representatives that I believe actually will push for such a change if that option was available to me.
