“Your honor, it may be true that my client’s driving speed in combination with the thick fog prevented him from reacting to obstacles, and that his car then struck and violently killed this man while he used the crosswalk. However, it was not the fog or my client’s speed that caused standard crash avoidance safety mechanisms to fail, but the crash-ee’s negligent decision to go outside without a phone with a functioning and active location beacon.”

Which is exactly the same for every profession. If you have a plumber friend and have issues with plumbing, who you call first, a random contractor or your friend? Replace "plumber/plumbing" with any profession and the answer is usually the same, you call your friend first, at least to get some more understanding before reaching out to a contractor.
I believe that the target primaries must be those of your monitor.

BT.2020 are the primaries used to encode the HDR movie.

Monitors with such primaries are rare and extremely expensive. For most good monitors "--target-prim=dci-p3" should be appropriate, if DCI-P3 has already been selected from the on-screen monitor configuration menu, because most monitors come configured by default to use the ugly sRGB color space, so you must change the defaults to be able to display content with bigger color spaces.

Some monitors might have the option to use the BT.2020 color space, when they would still not be able to display all of it, but they would do internally the conversion between the BT.2020 used to encode the movie and whatever color space the monitor can actually display.

I don’t expect technologists to ever really unionize. In all the orgs I’ve worked senior engineers are effectively management. So unless that shifts so ICs are just labor, I don’t know if a union will make sense.

Maybe with lower level positions, but I think the trend in those is to automate them away.

There could be a future where base IT is like teamsters where no one can touch the WiFi unless they have a union card.

This was a great read and definitely fits into something that regularly crosses my mind: “what you say is incorrect but it will take a lot of time and energy to explain why.” The length of this article definitely proves this point!

Just to nitpick (and not detract from the article) this point:

> Once you have less skin in the game, it is easier to make bad decisions. The author argues this is due to a) having a capital buffer to cushion you, and b) having more time to waste.

I actually don’t think this holds true. It’s possible to make bad decisions BECAUSE you have skin in the game. Would you take a 60% bet if the downside was losing your home? Would you do it if the cost was someone else’s home, that person owned an entire city and they’d given you that home for the express purpose of placing those bets?

I saw something like this when the founders at my work promoted someone else to be CEO and, a little while after, took cash out the business (legally) with the express purpose of derisking themselves. They recognised that they weren’t able to take the necessary risks to push the business forward, so appointed a CEO with less skin in the game and reduced their own exposure.

It paid off.

My "concerning issue" about Telegram is that their moderation team seems to be non existent.

On some local groups there can be spamming accounts, porn (and even worse, maybe even CP), drug selling and stuff like that. No matter how many times you report that - nothing ever happens to them nor the group that holds them. Sometimes I've tried to reach the administrators of said groups and they just delete the whole chat.

But when I created a group for my neighborhood, someone reported it as "not relevant for this location" (?) and I could never change its exact location again (so more people could find it in the nearby groups).
Ah! Thanks for the correction. Unfortunately it's not centered vertically either. It's in the top left.

In a letter to the U.N.

I agree with your point. I think your original phrasing implied the literal opposite of your intended meaning.
We were consuming different media at the time. I do not recall anyone serious making definitive statements about the perpetrators. Too many groups had the motive and opportunity to execute the plan. Given the small crew size required, it would not have even required national backing to execute. A professional diving crew would possess all the required equipment without additional funding.
That is what the article claims, but... I see it as left-aligned. Firefox 129.0.1 on MacOS.
The German security, media, and political establishment has been completely infiltrated by Russia over the past 30 years. So many of Germany's bad decisions over the past few decades can be explained by this.

Germany taking in millions Syrians is often viewed by critics through the lens of "(naive) empathy". But they were just helping Russia get rid of anti-Assad Syrians.
I wish that the safety of the people outside of motor vehicles received at least as many resources (funding, research, legal) as the safety of motorists -- who are cause of these risks in the first place.

Motorists already have strong incentives to make their vehicles safer for themselves, but they have very little incentive to make things safer for people outside of their vehicle. For that reason we need better regulations and infrastructure that account for those externalities.

It's probably similar to a normal gas tank, as the gas is liquefied inside it.

If it "wants" to explode or not will depend on how it's built. But the one sure thing is that the explosive is on the wrong side of it (outside), so all the important forces are on shear and other secondary effects.

Damn! I did not know that.

I set recovery address to an other (dormant) gmail account, just to aggravate the risk put upon me! :D
(I do not trust google now with more data than I already given and must give, see later)

I need to speed up the migration of my email life to the paid account I initiated and testing (protonmail) because some serious problem could emerge otherwise (there is an international move on the horizon). I started to give gmail to various governmental (taxation, healthcare, authorities) organizations when it was innocent, as contact of the account used for light things at the time, when everyone started to discover how to manage bureaucracy online. Which succeeded and my gmail became an important tool managing matters throughout some international moves. Some accounts here and there are dormant but still with important matters that I might need once (how is it with that many years valid Australian travel authorisation or what that I did not need last year?...). Still gmail was innocent enough, despite the mass surveillance sped up, which was a bit inconvenient feeling but rarely got any real secrets or deeply persoanl matters apart from the fact I have dealings with that organization here and there. But now, as online administration is borderline mandatory being other means left to the bare minimum (when I am sent online in an office for something, that's a turning point in mind) or in other country. Gmail is very inconveniently in the center with all the worrysome things their automated bots carry out against unsuspecting user without mercy and appeal, that the migration process had to be started. Hence test with protonmail. But it so damn widespread now, I have not enough time going through all, some forgotten and need to dig into faint memories, it is torture. But has to be done. Has to be done.

Our twin girls should not be put up with the mercy of google bots when they get into the age of requiring email for official matters.
Does anybody have experience with component systems like the one used in the engine in large projects? I feel like they all work well with components like Position and Velocity, but for anything less genetic, when you need to control what updates, when, and in what order, it looks like a nightmare to use. I get the same vibes as when using a genetic physics engine for a game; you end up messing with mass, gravity and casting a ton of rays just to get the behaviour you want. Maybe in sandbox games the trade off is worth it.
Where in the constitution does it say that you can engage in censorship of any kind, let alone political? Here's what it says, translated verbatim:

> Any and all censorship of political, ideological and artistic nature is prohibited.

That's what it literally says. It doesn't say you can maybe kinda sorta censor people if your cause is righteous enough. It doesn't say you can do it if it's fake news. So where is this disagreement you speak of? I can't seem to find it. I'm no lawyer but I've asked my lawyer friends and they couldn't find it either.

And nobody is shouting fire in a crowded theater. It's just some obviously biased documentary. Hilariously, that means it's of an artistic, ideological and political nature, all three of the categories explicitly singled out by the constitution. Whatever distorted logic they used to censor it must have been hierarchically inferior to the constitution, and therefore invalid.

I'm using the same logic that allowed US citizens to publish and export cryptography software by printing source code in a book. This is technology was literally export controlled for national security reasons. Cryptography has the power to defeat these judges, it has the power to defeat armies. There are few things in existence that are more subversive than democratized access to cryptography. And they used free speech to publish the source code. Their fight is a big reason why you're browsing this site with HTTPS enabled today. So don't compare distorted brazilian notions of free speech to american ones. They sure as hell have a lot more free speech than we do.

Are there any positive uses of our online data beyond targeted advertising?
Yesterday I had an interesting chat with a friend who works at Facebook. He explained how the company builds a detailed profile on each user based on their activity and then uses this for targeted advertisement and constructing a personalised feed that keeps you hooked on the platform.

This got me thinking: what do you think could be the actual beneficial uses of this data if it wasn’t being hoarded by big tech to sell us products? Could it be used in ways that actually improve our lives, society, or the world at large? And this goes beyond just Facebook, imagine if you could also consolidate someone’s Google, Instagram, Reddit etc. data together… surely this data could be used in so many ways that benefit the user?

Some ideas that I had included using it for social matching (e.g. dating or meeting people with similar interests), personalised recommendations, giving context to an LLM, or just some cool insights into your personality and digital footprint.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts and ideas.

You understood it wrong.

It is the Concepts/Models/Ideas/Intuitions as given by the "Masters" which we need to focus on and not the specific language/phrasing they were expressed in (as long as they are not relevant) since these are a artifact of their Time/Context/Culture. Think of the differences between Transliteration vs. Translation vs. Interpretation while maintaining fidelity to the original either in a different language or the same language. The early scientific papers were written in various European languages, but in the absence of reading the original paper in the original language ourselves (due to not knowing the language or the language being too archaic and unfamiliar) most of us nowadays study them only in English trusting to the translator/author to do their job faithfully.

Two examples;

1) In the Principia, Newton uses the phrase "Quantity of Motion" to define what we call today as "Momentum". The former conveys intuition while the latter is merely a formula.

2) "Imaginary Numbers" were called "Lateral Numbers" by Gauss which is intuitive in a geometric sense (without generalising too much).
Not sure about this one... according to this study the escape velocity of the Milky Way is around 550 km/s.

https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021A%26A...649A.136K/abst...

The authors of that study cited above are pretty confident it's above 497 +/- 8 km/s, at least in the solar neighborhood.

1M Miles per hour works out to 446 km/s. Granted these are all rough numbers, and it depends exactly where you are in the Milky Way, but it looks like it may be a bit short of actually escaping.
> OCaml generalization is based on tracking of so-called levels of a type.

The level tracking reminds me of a recent paper exploring SimpleSub[0], a simpler alternative of adding subtyping to ML-style type systems. It also gets rid of the algorithm W's repeated generalization (introducing foralls and turning a type into a polytype) and instantiation (changing the universally quantified type variables to fresh type variables). They have slightly different operations on levels, e.g. extrude. I wonder if this level tracking is independently invented again.

Some one should make an IRC themed discord client/theme
While irc is always declining in it's user base, Discord is of course not, But i like many people really enjoyed the simplistic irc ui!, Now while discord does indeed has a compact mode which highly refrences irc, It's still not enoough. I and others have been chatting about it and it seems to me very possible. with the recent hit of discord clients that enable theming or by using the web version im sure its possible, now while i tried coding it i faild misrebly. if more people are intrested maybe i will go back to coding it or maybe theres alredy a solution! anyway i wanted to hear you opinion about such project and how hard it would be?
The cache friendly alternative is to use a different data structure. There is no cache-friendly iterate-in-order on the standard map.

But I've got plenty of cases where this in fact is cache friendly, because the entire map fits into L2 or even L1 anyhow because it's going to have maybe 4 keys in its lifetime. Not every map has fifty million values in it. I'm always keeping at least a little bit of track about such details when I'm using maps.

I don't mean that in some kind of "mystical" way, but in that other people perceive it to be valuable.

For instance, a Picasso painting has very little intrinsic value to me. Given a choice, I wouldn't have one in my house. But the fact that other people are would be willing to pay me thousands (millions?) for it means that it does have value to me (because I can sell it) - but only in the same way that a gold bar or some share certificates do.

Whereas the exact same painting by an unknown artist would have no value to me, because I don't want it and I can't sell it.
Nobody from the "American leadership" said Russia did it.

They pushed back against disinformation spread by Russian propagandists like Seymour Hersh who were baselessly blaming the US and Norway without providing any credible proof.

Seymour Hersh were later exposed to be a unknowing useful tool for Russian handlers because his "US security source" was using Russian idioms that no Westerner would use.
