This is wildly overstating the issue. Hackers are not going to break into hundreds of separate sites, compromise inverters, compromise relay protection, compromise SCADA systems, and execute a perfectly timed attack. Even if they did, these are distributed resources, they don't all go through a single substation and I doubt any one site could cause any major harm to any one substation.

Instead, they're going to get a few guys with guns and shoot some step of transformers and drive away.

The problem with infosec people is they tend to wildly overestimate cyber attack potential and wildly underestimate the equivalent of the 5 dollar wrench attack.

I'm very pro 2nd amendment, but guns are not tools and it's a fallacy to say that.

Guns are used to kill something. In hunting they are used to kill animals, and otherwise they are used to kill other people, or yourself in the case of suicide. You don't do anything with a gun except kill or attempt to kill something.
My understanding was that it had been widely reported for years and years now that Apple has repeatedly attempted to make their own Modem, and then it fails, and they go back to signing another contract with Qualcomm.

Scrum, Waterfall, XP, Kanban - these are the tools engineers created for managing their work. I've never worked at a place where the way your engineering team manages their work has ever been mandated.

I've never met a business stakeholder who gives two shits how engineering manages their work - all they care about is when am I going to get it and how much is it going to cost me - and how accurate and reliable are these answers?

As far as letting engineers manage themselves - if the scope of work is small enough and there's no dependence on other teams or vendors delivering needed components then sure, do whatever you want. It's often inappropriate to apply much rigor to such small projects. Skunk work projects can also be managed that way.
I’m spending too much time at home. Getting a lot done but serendipitous meetings and network building is definitely impacted. Time with my daughter is way up, before and after school.
Just talk to parents. Maybe you will have lan party with them too.
Happy simple people maybe.

You have to take into account the difference of each mind's disposition between people. There are people who would just read those 3 bullet points and be disgusted. Some people need an empty pointless life and are "happy". Some people need struggle, challenge and difficulty, otherwise they cant be happy.

People and minds are extremely complicated. To me, having low expectations and not caring too much is a sign of a defeated person with no spirit. That is sad
Is that simply cultural? DOTA is well over a decade old. If everyone's toxic and behavior is self-moderated, then toxic behavior is not just normalized but reinforced.
Further down they mention that a dominant factor here seems to be the shifting of many activities, including spending time with family and friends, to a home setting.

This certainly reflects my experience. Nowadays watching a movie doesn't mean going to a movie theater; it means watching a movie at a friend's house. Similar for gaming &c.

Lately I've seen a lot of lamenting the lack of third spaces, but I haven't personally felt too sad about this? When I was younger my friends and I would regularly meet for coffee and pie at a diner that was open late, or shoot darts at a cozy neighborhood bar. Nowadays those kinds of places seem to be all but gone. They've been replaced by Dining and Entertainment Concepts™ that cost too much to frequent with any regularity, and crank the music way too loud to permit real socialization. So we just get together to play Mario Kart instead.
"What non killing-or-practicing-killing use do handguns have? Zero."

This argument implies that killing is never justified. Society in general seems to disagree with that. Killing as a last resort to protect yourself is considered reasonable.

Also, there are remote areas where it would be much more likely for the killing to take place against animals than humans. These sorts of scenarios seem to be overlooked quite frequently in these arguments.

I made a DIY rocker for my son in 2 minutes at home when he was born... I took a breast milk pump that has an oscillatory vacuum, hooked it to a large syringe used for marine epoxy, and taped the syringe to one end of a removable car seat that had a curved rocking bottom.

A simple rocker or swing isn't as effective as a snoo, however.

Absolutely. There was a student in his 50’s in my graduating year who was an aviation mechanic previously. There’s also a lot of opportunities at engineering firms for developers. Start that way and see if you like it maybe.

Yes, it seems clear that a component of Gamer Culture is casual bigotry. It has been changing but that mostly means spaces have become more inclusive and new people are more inclusive. The pre-existing people didn't stop existing they just sort of got shoved out of places that started having standards around behavior.

An aspect of the Greater Internet Fuckwad theory is also the level of exposure behavior gets in an online context - so very many more people are present in a way that invites sharing and comment that just doesn't exist in a grocery store. Think about how unusual it would be for me to reply in depth to an offhand comment like this (that was not directed to me) at a bar. Or how many people you might socialize with in a tf2 or l4d lobby over the course of an hour compared to in a grocery.

There is also a component of self selection when it comes to the spaces you are comparing against; you probably wouldn't want to go to bars and groceries where that behavior was present well before you actually got to live examples.

In my experience individual communities can also have very different feels. For example I used to play League of Legends and eventually switched to Dota2 because it felt very consistent that at least one person would behave in an awful fashion in the league lobbies. Whereas when playing Dota that sort of behavior was the exception.
Flight safety works so well because the personnel are aligned with safety and professionalism, and the FAA has an important program in place to protect people from being punished for behaving professionally. And IIRC you're familiar with aircraft manufacturer alignment with safety.

But I'm concerned about the entire field of software, which doesn't have that sense of responsibility, and I don't see how it would get it. However, software industry -- both companies and workers -- are guided almost entirely by money. To the point that it's often hard to explain to many people in HN discussions on why it would be good to behave in any other way than complete mercenary self interest. So I don't see any way to get alignment other than to link money to it. If people see that as punishment, so be it.
No there is no strong evidence as was very briefly mentioned in the article:

It's "function calling" that's the even worst naming IMHO, as the point is that the LLM is not actually calling a function, but just proposes a function call... Who will out themselves as having come up with this confusion?
A discord server I'm in is basically a shitpost/absurdist humor discord full of smart people, and we have at least 15 bots written by members that randomly engage with Markov chains built on the corpus of member chat history.

Fact remains that Soyuz has over a thousand more launches than Falcon 9 with an average success rate of 98% over all its variants. It's the single most reliable launch vehicle mankind has ever made.

Really depends on the genre nowadays. Fighters (mostly) still support local co-op (Nintendo in General is pretty good at couch co-op). Shooters are becoming less local co-op friendly, not even having split screen.
That's still the number of websites, not their traffic. A personal blog hosted on Cloudflare and google.com are not both the same.
Yeah odd comment. I've been several times. They do have laws but the place is kind of a corrupt dictatorship.
Yeah. It would be simpler to talk about causal graphs if the nodes represented only events instead of arbitrary variables, because independence between events is much simpler to determine: X and Y are independent iff P(X) * P(Y) = P(X and Y). For events there also exists a measure of dependence: The so-called odds ratio. It is not influenced by the marginal probabilities, unlike Pearson correlation (called "phi coefficient" for events) or pointwise mutual information. Of course in practice events are usually not a possible simplification.
The key is “without their knowledge”. Seems like an easy thing to explain to a parent. Plus it’s reasonable you’d ask the parents so they have a chance to say yes/no to the game.
For all intents and purposes, booby traps are illegal 100% of the time regardless of the reason for their construction or the damage they cause. A booby trap that squirts water is as illegal as one that fires bullets, and one that misses someone is as illegal as one that hits someone (although hitting someone opens you up to other charges but unrelated to the booby trap).

This is a pretty good example of arguing from the way you feel like the law should be written rather than how it's actually written.

Just to be clear - this is not really up to judgment or interpretation, you are just completely wrong. So I wouldn't do anything based on this (very incorrect) reading of law.

I'm curious where you're getting this? I've read speculation, but I've never seen any authoritative source claim the test hardware configuration was different than the flight configuration. The better sources I've seen tend to indicate it was an inadequate thruster profile in the tests, rather than a configuration issue.
This is my biggest complaint with GitHub CodeSpaces.

I think you're using the word "insignificant" in a possibly misleading or confusing way.

I think in this context, the issue with the spurious correlations from that site is that they're all time series for overlapping periods. Of course, the people who collected these understood that time was an important causal factor in all these phenomena. In the graphical language of this post:

T --> X_i

T --> X_j

Since T is a common cause to both, we should expect to see a mutual information between X_i, X_j. In the paradigm here, we could try to control for T and see if a relationship persists (i.e. perhaps in the same month, collect observations for X_i, X_j in each of a large number of locales), and get a signal on whether some the shared dependence on time is the only link.

I've tried to create an Apple ID recently on a non-Apple platform and it was a huge PITA. Tried using different browsers on Windows and Linux, tried Apple Music on Android , tried iCloud on Windows - nothing.

Basically I was able to pass email and phone number verification, but then "Continue" button on the "Apple ID & Privacy " page doesn't work and you can't get around it. No error or description whatsoever, just internal server error in the browser's console.

Turns out it's a known problem and the same button works perfectly fine when pressing it on an Apple device. I haven't tried it in a macOS VM though, but presumably Apple flags such accounts anyway.

If I understand correctly, the article looks at data from 2003 to 2022. I’m not sure if I would call that long-term. What about 1922 to 2022 for example? Or even longer.

From what I understand from my parents and grandparents (I’m Gen X), they did quite a lot of stuff at home (i.e. meet friends, make music etc.)

Going out was the exception, not the norm.
Sure that's sometimes the case. But on the whole I would bet that the average American is more physically and emotionally isolated from their peers outside their immediate family or housemates than any other society in history.

The analogy that came to mind was to image advising firefighters to avoid drowning the cat when they're trying to put out a house fire.

If they're actually crazy like you claim, then they lose their weapons upon an involuntary commitment. That is by far the better outcome (assuming peoper due process) since they'll get actual help for their problems and not just the removal of one of many deadly weapons they can use.

Again, even if what you're saying is logically consistent, it is absolutely completely 100% wrong with regard to the law. A booby trap is still a booby trap even if you throw your hands up and say "that's not a booby trap."

At the time, Charlie was the celebrity not Jensen. I grew up reading the inquirer and saw Charlie's name attached to everything I read.

Above all, people often stay in abusive relationships because of what they think is a rational analysis of the trade-offs. There are concerns about financial stability, uprooting your children's lives, losing friends, etc.

In reality, the calculation tends to underestimate the risk of staying and overestimate the risk of leaving. But this is not unique to the victims of domestic abuse. It's the same reason people stick to bad jobs, depressing but non-abusive relationships, etc.

I actually learned both English and Mandarin Chinese :)

Vocabulary in English is a problem, but it's much easier to learn than thousands of Han characters. Grammatical gender is not a problem for native speakers, you already know it from speaking the language.

> - Chinese characters have structures and relationships too

Most Han characters can be decomposed into simpler characters. But not all, and you still have to memorize that a character for "branch" (支）consists of "ten" (十）and "again" （又）. And of course, some characters have multiple meanings, and even multiple readings.

In short, you have to memorize a lot.

> - Children in school in China don't need to know all the charaters, they start off with a useful subset and learn (or look up in dictionaries) more as they go along.

Of course. But they still have to learn at least 2-3 thousand by the end of the school.
I'll also add, my gut preference would be for a tool built independent from Supabase. I don't/can't always use Supabase/postgres and even if some future Supabase db client was opened up to connecting to any db URL, I don't know how much I'd trust it not to be optimized for Supabase at the expense of the rest of the ecosystem if that makes sense.

Not that that should stop you from trying of course :)

Internally, they definitely do. I worked at Stripe's monorepo many years ago, and I am working at a larger company with massive amounts of repos. The difference in pain has little to do with mono v multi, but with the capabilities of your tooling team.

If there's anything I'd say to low-level execs, the kind that end up with a few hundred developers under them, it's that mis-sizing the tooling team, in one way or the other, comes with total productivity penalties that will appear invisible, but will make everything expensive. Understanding how much of a developer's day is toil is very important, but few really try to figure that out.

>Your last linked paper has flawed methodology for what it attempts to demonstrate, as shown in this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.02477

Genuinely, What's wrong with the methodology?

Your paper literally admits humans would also perform worse at counterfactuals. Worse than a LLM ? Maybe not but it never bothers to test this so...

The problem here is that none of the definitions (those that are testable) so far given actually separate humans from LLMs. They're all tests some humans would also flounder at or that LLMs perform far greater than chance at, if below some human's level.

If you're going to say, "LLMs don't do real reasoning because of x" then x better be something all humans clear if what humans do is "real reasoning".

Humans perform worse at counterfactuals so saying "Hey, see this paper that shows LLMs doing the same, It means they don't reason" is a logical fallacy if you don't extend that conclusion to humans as well.
