There were a large body of studies showing that Ivermectin helped with COVID. Some people said that evidence should be dismissed and, fair enough. I get to be consistent in my belief that people should be able to ignore evidence because sometimes it is misleading. In this case it was a good move.

But there was also a large crowd of people spreading misinformation that the reason the evidence was misleading was because it was fake or the studies were faulty and that only crazy people would want to take Ivermectin. It turned out not only were the studies were fine but also that there are many people who should probably take Ivermectin immediately upon recognising COVID symptoms. That large crowd were, in a pretty clear-cut way, spreading misinformation. Not right wingers, they tended to be more of a pure-play authoritarian variety based on the arguments I had.

> I read along from Australia during that period and I saw little evidence that people who knew what they were talking about "[Dismissed] a lot of legitimate studies related to Ivermectin".

Bit of a tautology there, we'd expect the people who got things right to know what they were talking about in hindsight and vice versa. People who spread misinformation have a fairly particular profile, it just isn't partisan.

Bug Bounty Program Pack v1.1
The goal of this release is to provide you with everything you need to establish a bug bounty program. This includes alignment with stakeholders, working with a vendor, establishing a private bug bounty, and ultimately moving to a public bug bounty. This release pack is not sponsored or influenced by any particular bug bounty vendor and is neutral to vendor biases and influence.
OP is referring to "Credit based flow control", which is a way to ensure a sender does not overwhelm a receiver with more data than it can handle.

Usually, this is line-rate, but if the other side is slow for whatever reason (say the consumer is not draining data), you wouldn't want the sender to continue sending data.

If you also have N hosts sending data to 1 host, you would need some way of distributing the bandwidth among the N hosts. That's another scenario where the credit system comes. Think of it as an admission control for packets so as to guarantee that no packets are lost. Congestion control is a looser form of admission control that tolerates lossy networks, by retransmitting packets should they be lost.
We just added a 100% tariff on Chinese cars for ~some reason~.
This was a major ordeal as long as we could not conveniently store massive amounts of electricity nor transport it far away, or quickly and frequently balance the grid (hence the need for 'baseload' generation).

Those challenges vanished ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current , https://www.nrdc.org/experts/kevin-steinberger/debunking-thr... ...)

At least Brazil has had a significant amount of levantine immigration and a few refugees recently, so it's not out of place to sympathize with the Palestines wrt the incursion
But that's really what I meant. When you say the limitation on processing is not in the math. I would say it is a mathematical limitation of processing because they had to choose a math that works on parts of words instead of letters due to the limitation of the power of the math that can be done for training and inference.

They chose to use some limiting math which prevents the LLM from being able to easily answer questions like this.

It's not a limitation of math in general. It's a limitation of the math they chose to build the LLM on which is what was going through my head when I was writing it.

There's been a ton of work to generate assets for games using AI: 3d models, textures, code, etc. None of that may even be necessary with a generative game engine like this! If you could scale this up, train on all games in existence, etc. I bet some interesting things would happen
Nowadays, reflections can be done through raytracing, with perhaps a blur/smudge to hide low ray counts for performance.

We used to buy from Alexa but when Amazon went to shit and we couldn't trust that "Order Tide Pods" would result in similar price/quantity Tide Pods showing up, we stopped doing that.

“Superstition [is] cowardice in the face of the Divine,” wrote Theophrastus, who lived during the founding of the Library of Alexandria. We inhabit a universe where atoms are made in the centers of stars; where each second a thousand suns are born; where life is sparked by sunlight and lightning in the airs and waters of youthful planets; where the raw material for biological evolution is sometimes made by the explosion of a star halfway across the Milky Way; where a thing as beautiful as a galaxy is formed a hundred billion times—a Cosmos of quasars and quarks, snowflakes and fireflies, where there may be black holes and other universes and extraterrestrial civilizations whose radio messages are at this moment reaching the Earth. How pallid by comparison are the pretensions of superstition and pseudoscience; how important it is for us to pursue and understand science, that characteristically human endeavor.”

— Carl Sagan: Cosmos
Seems like it's aiming to be a more general alternative to tools like ROS rosbags, pretty widely used in robotics. Sounds like a good idea to me -- having a nice tool to create and visualize multimodal logs can be pretty useful outside of robotics.

Foxglove (https://foxglove.dev/) is an alternative specifically aimed at robotics. It was originally a fork of Cruise webviz (https://webviz.io/), iirc, which came out of the ROS ecosystem. The format for ROS logs (rosbags) has evolved a bit - from a custom format, to a format based on sqlite, to a new format that is intended to be more general and compatible with various serialization formats, MCAP (https://mcap.dev/).
That depends entirely on what's meant by "statistically unqualified", I can't say I even know what's exactly meant by that.

This overly simplistic model (and I agree it's oversimplified) is what's being debated here, and someone threw up a strawman, which I identified, and which you have apparently conflated as being the same thing.
This is all technically impressive but was it all technically necessary? Was infiniband really just not good enough? All this R&D for a custom protocol and custom NICs seems to just be a massive flex of Tesla's engineering muscle.
Ah it’s such a huge question that I couldn’t even begin to answer it in a HN comment. I think you’d need to study the collective knowledge of religion and science as background.

Where I would start, though, is by trying to “re-center” humanity in the universe in a way that is logically and scientifically justifiable, against the widespread belief that we’re just lost in space. If you could do that, you’d have a strong step toward making the life of an average person have a kind of cosmic significance that was more prevent in older religious times.

Nietzsche is good reading for this, as I think he correctly diagnoses the issue. His solutions are a bit vague or too personal and not systematic enough though.
What's the concern if you can delete history?
Great work Nick. My email is in my profile, could you send me an email I would like to get in touch.

That's quite a claim.
That was a NATO obligation. We would have sent troops to Afghanistan if Netherlands was attacked too.

And supporting migrants isn't introducing new demand, it's just exposing the demand that's there. Like, the migrants are there and they need housing.

The us vs them attitude is an artificial division. We can, and should build housing for all.

I get what you're saying. sadly the Internet is no longer the place it once was. People are just looking for ways to get offended and go off and try and cancel people. thinking things isn't doing things. thinking evil thoughts but not acting on them is entirely fine and normal and human.

people have four levels of being, there's conscious you, lizard brain, addict brain, and ideal brain. lizard brain gets the most time. it's the baser sider of things that we can't help, like who we're attracted to (masc/femme/nb) or what we think of people with tattoos. Then there's conscious brain. that's the part of us that's rational and can recognize that lizard brain does and thinks dumb things. addict brain is where there's something you're addicted to. chemical/digital/physical; whatever. addict brain will rationalize that something that conscious brain knows is wrong into being okay. Oh it's just $10 dollars and it's only Candy crush. idea brain is who you are after an interaction has happened, when you win the argument in the shower or wake up knowing the solution to a problem. sometimes idea brain will happen in the moment, but most of the time it happens later.

anyway, we can't help lizard brain, especially when we're sleep deprived, high/drunk/groggy/strongly emotional, and it can say some horrible shit. some people are able to acknowledge that this happens to everyone and exists and is human and forgive other people when they do something, others pretend like that they're not like that and that it never happens to them.

This is the divide between introvert and extrovert, btw. introverts can't "mask off" around other people, so being around other people is exhausting for them. if they say they don't belive something but that this thought still happens, eg that people with tattoos are impulsive, they get excoriated for voicing having had the thought.

sadly, as you've found, the open Internet just isn't the place for that. thankfully, there are small private communities where people do understand such detail and nuance, but they're hard to find.

cards on the table though, my current tattoo wasn't the result of much planning, but having gotten one, I more respect the time and effort that goes into getting really good ones.

on my wish list is the https://imprintu.com/ temporary tattoo printer, which seems fun.
Unrelated, but frankly there should be no publicly accessible network that won’t route a “911”/emergency transmission.
Humans are machines that are wired to be motivated by change. It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to be beautiful or enchanted, it just has to _change_ and be _changeable_ by the person.

When people feel down, it's not usually because they can't sense enchantment, it's because they're stuck on something they can't currently change.

It's not a "skill," it's a devastating statement on the nature of the world we live in and how little power supposedly free people actually have in the face of a crushing government technocratic corporate welfare state.
> against commercial whaling, which still hasn't stopped more than 50 years later

With the exception of a few native tribes in Canada and US, and the countries of Japan, Norway, and Iceland, I am pretty sure that all commercial whaling has stopped. And, the whaling that does remain is sustainable. If what I wrote is correct (I might have missed a country or two), I would say the campaign was successful.
I got sent the scan which was very nice of them. The paper is pretty interesting and contains some good information from the time.

They're injecting an artificial material under the skin; it may not have immediate health effects, barring contamination/infection (which itself is a real risk that shouldn't be ignored), but the long-term effects are less well understood. So, in a sense, they're similar to cigarettes that way: they affect your body, but how much? The long-term effects of cigarettes are much better understood today, but that wasn't the case 60 years ago when cigarettes were all the rage. But since so many people smoked like chimneys back then, we can now look at them today and see what their health is like, and compare to others who didn't smoke. 60 years ago, no one except sailors had tattoos, so no one investigated them much and there's not that much long-term data available (not many old people with tattoos to see the health effects). But, like in the 1960s with cigarettes, tattoos are all the rage today (in America), so in 30-60 years we'll be seeing the health effects of this craze.

But the real point here is to respond to the OP's idea that tattoo ink should be regulated as a medical product. It's not a medical product, just like cigarettes aren't, piercings, aren't, etc. Medical products are things that are supposed to improve your health and affect your body, so of course there's no call to regulate cigarettes, alcohol, heroin, methamphetamine, or tattoo ink as medical products, because they simply aren't (they don't improve your health, nor claim to usually), even though they obviously can affect your health.
Can you expand on structured code editing?
"The world" didn't "rely" on SpaceX to build this. SpaceX built this service on their own initiative and with their own funding and now they're giving away its most life critical function for free (unlike incumbent satphone companies who have always charged for 911 service). Plenty of competitors are working to replicate Starlink, including private companies, governments, and militaries. SpaceX is even launching some of the satellites for them. It's hardly SpaceX's fault that everyone else is so far behind.

On Ukraine, SpaceX asked the US DoD to fund the substantial costs which is eminently reasonable given the criticality of Starlink to the war effort and the billions upon billions in contracts other US defense contractors were getting to support the war. SpaceX never shut off Ukraine's service despite misinformation to the contrary.

As for Elon, he canceled one customer's $100k car order 8 years ago and because of that you believe he would leave people to die when they need emergency help?
I get similar things on Facebook too. The problem is, my Facebook profile clearly stated that I'm an asexual female, but the recommendation engine obviously didn't pick that up...
Why is it so amazing? Sounds more complicated than fail2ban. I've been installing fail2ban for decades on countless servers, using decent passwords, and have never had SSH get brute-forced. It’s anecdotal, but if you’re getting blocked after three wrong attempts, the chances of a successful attack are pretty small. So, why bother with nonstandard ports or even other protocols?
> If you physically segregate your underclass, they do tend not to "riot" in what I'm assuming you would consider a "race riot"

Are you arguing that Canada "physically segregates" its underclass to a greater extent than the US does? I don't think that's actually true.
Fair call, I could have used a less zingy word, though you could have made less of a sweeping judgement as well :)
From what I've read, you can't actually run a 30-year-old Windows program natively on Windows today: when you do, it actually runs in "WOW" (Windows On Windows), which is basically an emulator built into Windows to handle old programs. It's not really much different than running that same program on Linux with WINE, which many people claim works even better than running it on modern Windows.
Hmmm...contractors have a contract. Employees don't even get that, and half the pay.
Great Question!

- There were 190,939 deaths in 2022, almost 20,000 more than 2021.[0]

- Migrant departures decreased 2% to 219,000 from 223,000 departures a year ago.[1]

So, about 400,000. I guess adding that all up, we have 509,000 net additional persons requiring housing, vs 180,000 additional housing units being produced. So, about 2.8 people per housing unit.

So I guess the next question is, how many people live per housing unit, on average? ABS Knows:

> In 2046 there are projected to be between 2.4 and 2.6 people per household on average[2]

There's still a bit of a discrepancy there, but nowhere near as bad as I thought initially.

I'd guess the only question left is "how many people would prefer to live in a less crowded house, if they were financially able"?

Me. I directly refute this hunch. Nothing to do with xbox ever entered the discussion.
First: Now that old posts are being updated and duplicates locked, I no longer am able to filter out old posts. Am I expected to check every CSS post in 2012 for some golden answer that unfucks my 2024 grid box layout or can I just check the new ones (that are all locked)?

Second: I don't get what's wrong with letting person A to post in the wrong/old place if they want, and person B can link the URL of the post to the right place. Instead you have person A locking person B's post which might actually hurt their feelings, like being arbitrarily moderated on any other site does, so they never come back.

Third: When Stack overflow moderation approves something, it actually means it's the end of discussion. IIRC the famous SO post about parsing HTML with regex ended with moderation endorsing a meme (the wrong answer) and locking it.

But I'm giving too much attention to SO anyways they could fix everything and I still don't see how it would win back talent.

Just going off of this one thing the worm can't survive is high temperatures and spice. I find raccoon meat goes particularly well with east asian cuisine, a cuisine which is far more open minded regarding nontraditional meat sources.

Sounds like dataannotation.tech

I did weeks of training, evaluations, etc, but they don't ever communicate if you are rejected, or why, or any real message at all. Just a checklist that you complete and wait for checkmarks to appear in a few days, and again, and again. This site somehow is listed first on job search websites so it cannot be a scam, but this has been my experience.
Of all the ways to measure intelligence, "whether it's using 100% of its compute time" is certainly one of them.
That isn't a Signal exclusive flaw. If the phone OS is backdoored, everything on it is compromised.
AWS is arguably an API, and I shovel a ton of money their way. Stripe is another one, though that ends with me getting paid, so I guess that technically doesn't count unless I start losing money using it. There's also the APIs backing all the apps I pay for, since I don't talk to them via a webpage. But then, if we look at every web page that hits an API to get a list of items to display, instead of that list coming over on the html itself, that'd be an API, technically. ChatGPT is an API I hit a bunch via non-web browser clients that I pay for.
Most Canadians of sufficient age know that our healthcare system used to be the envy of the world. Sadly that has not been the case for 30+ years, and every government of the last few decades has compounded that problem. Some of it isn't even about funding per-se, but greed, bureaucracy and institutional power grabs.

We don't really have "universal healthcare" at all anymore, I don't know what you'd call such a dysfunctional system.
There is no text conditioning provided to the SD model because they removed it, but one can imagine a near future where text prompts are enough to create a fun new game!

Yes they had to use RL to learn what DOOM looks like and how it works, but this doesn’t necessarily pose a chicken vs egg problem. In the same way that LLMs can write a novel story, despite only being trained on existing text.

IMO one of the biggest challenges with this approach will be open world games with essentially an infinite number of possible states. The paper mentions that they had trouble getting RL agents to completely explore every nook and corner of DOOM. Factorio or Dwarf Fortress probably won’t be simulated anytime soon…I think.
We are on track for a million immigrants this year without the infrastructure or housing for our current population.

> Migration arrivals rose by a third compared with the previous year to hit 765,900, driven by international students and workers on temporary visas, while departures slipped to 217,100.

We are just next door to Asia with many billions of people and the massive Chinese economy. Meanwhile we’re at 26 million for the entire country.

International students and economic migrants price locals out of housing (during covid rents were at all time lows relatively), hammer infrastructure and receive the benefits of the Australian social safety net (medical, etc).

All this happens because we have a kind of entrenched criminal crony class who actively want this. Corruption is absolutely rife and practically omnipresent in this country but it’s not seedy gangsters with briefcases full of us currency, it’s a couple of “mates” giving each other ”favours”.
Likewise Microsoft and Meta have developed in house AI chips, but I don't know what fraction of their AI workloads run on them.
