I think anyone deeply familiar with anime knows the harem tropes and sexual-comedy setups that Jobless Reincarnation uses as the basis of their story.

The difference is that Jobless Reincarnation plays out these sexual situations out to the full extend of their drama (ex: Paul Grayrat is caught making a child with the hot maid, there's multiple episodes of fallout because of this as Paul and Zenith, his first wife, have arguments over this).

I'm not sure if this is a teaching moment for Rudy (the main character) though, as it becomes clear that the entirety of the Grayrat line is full of sexual deviants and even some inbreeding.

--------

Doing the sexy time with the hot maid is... I mean.... its a trope. Its normally a comedy routine. But its played straight here.

Stealing the panties the main character's 40+ year old hot teacher (who is from the demon continent so she looks like only a teenager) is... a comedy trope in anime. (Ie: Panty stealing is all over Konosuba, a comedy anime). But its completely different when its played out straight and in a dramatic anime.

Being open with what fetishes you're cool with, and which ones make you squeemish is part of growing up. I can comfortably say that the stuff Jobless Reincarnation takes as core plot points are uncomfortable to me / "squicky" and unsatisfying sources of drama for me. And due to their long history as a comedy trope in older anime, its difficult for me to take it seriously.

Perhaps your argument is that the "point" is to take these adultery scenes more seriously and think deeply about them and the characters they affect. Except I already know that adultery is wrong, that panty stealing is wrong and I don't have any plans to do either.

So as a source of Drama, my overall confusion with this show is "Why are you dramatizing porn/harem/eroge plots?".

Uh no. Its a stupid plot for stupid porn-level writing setup. I don't consider it a source of drama at all. Personally anyway. I see that a lot of other people seem to like it so I don't want to hate on it too much or cause undo harm to your opinions or whatever. But... its really hard for me to take the eroge/hentai level plots seriously in Jobless Reincarnation. That's all.

Even if I 100% recognize that the author works very hard to set up these situations and think out the fallout and drama in a reasonably "realistic" way (or at least, all the characters acting like they should while still qualifying for the trope). And I think that's the part a lot of people like: the deep thought the author put into this work. Thinking deeply about how all these characters would act in the face of these sexually deviant actions.

Your beef appears to be with simple averages, not averaging per se.

The average for life expectancy is the mean of the Gompertz distribution [1]. Specifically, one that is "left skewed and with a flattened slope for ages under 50 years for men and 60 years for women," which proceeds to become "more right skewed and leptokurtic" as age increases [2].

So a simple average in the <55 domain would underestimate the mean while in the >55 domain it would overestimate it. Which is almost comically problematic when comparing ancient societies that had a median age below that level to modern ones above it.

> the modal life expectancy of adults (most common age of death other than 0) has been pretty stable in the 70s-80s range for most of human history

Not quite. 63 in 1900 to 83 in 2000 (in Sweden). Bigger differences when you go further back.

While there are many that argue against this point and I am sympathetic to them, Mutually Assured Destruction is a very powerful deterrent.

One of the reasons why many treaties came a long after WW2 was because for the first time ever, we had weapons on a scale that could truly cause civilization ending events. There is talk about strategic strike capabilities and from the little bits that trickle out from within, it is considered a potential path forward. But it is a path forward that is both political and literal suicide.

A scenario played out in the book 'Decline and Fall: The End of Empire and the Future of Democracy in 21st Century America' by John Michael Greer makes a decent point. Say the US decides to strategically strike an opponent. They manage to take out 199 of 200 potential retaliatory strikes - a great success in terms of the ratio. But that one missile that gets through detonates over San Fransisco becoming the single most deadly event in US history. It just isn't seen as a viable path forward.

Luckily those in power are there because of those below them, you cannot be too loose of a cannon at the top but even that doesn't put ones mind at ease as you just do not know on what could happen. Maybe the lunatics to get control of it all. Strange things can happen.
Active Ball Joint Mechanism with Three-DoF Based on Spherical Gear Meshings (2021)
The problem is that you are conflating the users with the owners. You can own cryptocurrency on an exchange or make a couple transactions to hold your funds in a wallet, but that is not really being a user.

Users use cryptocurrency for real transactions and ultimately derive actual economic value from the convenience of the network. If a cryptocurrency has a lot of users, the price will be more stable and the fee model will hold up in the long term. Users do not necessarily have a lot of funds.

Owners only get value by on-boarding more owners, so they can sell and stop being owners, which is ultimately zero-sum (actually less than zero-sum because someone has to pay the miners).

The problem with pretty much every cryptocurrency that exists is that there are more owners than users, and the owners have more power than users. But the long-term success of the system relies on users.

> A lot of content in Telegram is moderated only for iOS

And even then, I believe that only applies to users who haven't flipped the "Show 18+ Content" toggle in the app settings. (It's off by default.)
Good points, but I'm not sure "push", "pull", "user", or "owned" were particularly well described at the beginning.

I've always found that thinking about "static" vs "dynamic" content to be the most useful breakdown. Services often produce a mix of static and dynamic, i.e. it's not all "owned" just because it comes from the service. Similarly "push" and "pull" are a little tricky to reason about, but "upload via a web form" and "deploy via a build pipeline" are much clearer to me.

"static" and "dynamic" leads to an easy definition too – if it's in the codebase it's static, and if it's in the database (or referenced by it) it's dynamic. The same rules as in this blog post apply though, high cacheability on static and lower TTLs on dynamic content.

In systems of a certain scale this stuff starts to blend together (e.g. if your company runs an internal CDN then everything is dynamic from the perspective of the CDN), but in my experience, static/dynamic and deployed/uploaded is a good place to start that allows for good caching behaviour.
I concede.
Your media is more valuable when stored locally, because they can be retrieved easily without waiting for network conditions.

It's really sad. I think Java is a rather ill-designed and boring language, not even worth learning for intellectual purposes, but it does have a mature ecosystem around databases, web services and stuff, and it has its use cases. Beyond that, it really beats me where this attitude comes from. I attribute it to living in your bubble and not exploring what the guys over on the other side of the fence are doing. This is why one should learn as many programming languages (and paradigms) as possible, even if you don't end up using half of them. It's like when those guys come out with a new "minimalist" CSS framework, and the bitch downloads a 2MB payload just to bootstrap your "hello world".

No they can't. You don't roll out technical solutions without IT involvement for obvious security and stability reasons from hosting, bandwidth charges, auth, security maintenance, cert renewals, https, etc, unless you don't care about any of those things. That's literally ITs job and why the dept exists.
This sounds like more of a use case for short range communications, not so much internet connectivity. Tying this tech to the internet makes it less effective as it stops working when you go out of range. And a car's stopping distance is far outranged by what short range comms is capable of.

4)Compatibility: Now it works for Android, iPhone, Blackberry, or whatever other devices already use wireless charging.

Yep ^ it's unlilkely they have very few in a launch-able state.

Although, they don't have a detonate a nuke to make parts of the world unlivable. They have plenty of radioactive material; simply detonating a salted conventional bomb would be pretty nasty.
When I was a tutor, mostly doing math, when it came to polynomials and that range, I would trick my students into deriving the quadratic equation. It's not even a full page. Almost all of them finished with a strange expression, and then we had the little "it was always there, waiting for someone to find it" chat.

Some people care about the history, some don't. I find when people talk about astrophysics stuff, most of them do not know the history and ought to, because most of their interpretations fall into the "Yes, that was a question in the 1960s but eventually ..."

If you want one for relativity, I strongly suggest Was Einstein Right? by Clifford Will. It dates from 1986, so it is nearly forty years behind now, but it covers the many experiments and tests of relativities special and general.
>We're saying it actually doesn't "know" anything

Yeah and I'm saying this is a nonsense statement if you can't create a test (one that would also not disqualify humans) that demonstrates this. If you are saying what LLMs do is "fake understanding" then "fake understanding" should be testable unless you're just making stuff up.

>All well and good if we were talking about interesting research and had millions of years to let these algorithms prove themselves out, I suppose

Did you even read what the commenter I replied to was saying. This is irrelevant. We don't need to wait millions of years for anything.
To be optimistic, as long as anonymous access is a thing, or creating free accounts is a thing, such crawler blocks can probably be bypassed. I hope so, at least.

Unfortunately, if Putin decides this is a game he wants to play, then this is a game we cannot choose not to play. We can choose not to play it now, but we will have to play it later. That's a lesson Chamberlain and the whole world learned in 1938/39.
> are open to the public

Most websites aren't "open to the public". Most use firewalls, configure rules, etc that already block certain accesses. It's open to selected groups, just maybe including 1s you're allowed to be a part of.
Good question. We used a new AI+math-based testing tool (benchify.com) to run comparison tests, but we are working on building more robust infrastructure for this. Translating models from PyTorch to JAX is core to our strategy.

That said, this path is not uncommon (translating from one framework to another). HuggingFace translates Google's Gemma family models from JAX to PyTorch, and a ton of people use it.
That's on me for setting the ball too low.

In experiments that detect gravity waves, I recall the problem of Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle limiting our ability to see an individual graviton. I don't recall much detail and probably didn't understand fully when I read it. Something about our detectors and what an individual graviton effect would cause, falls within that limit; hence undetectable.

Does this change that theoretical limit?
I'd watch Superfastmatt's latest video on the subject, although I think there is one competitor in particular that is supposed to be a similarly good experience.

I'm not a lawyer, as you will soon realize. This is just water cooler talk, which is what HN is for.

I sort of directionally think that if WPE had a strong case here, their opening bid wouldn't be a C&D (I've noticed C&Ds frequently include a "preserve documents" section, presumably as punctuation, but for what it's worth that's an implicit threat they might sue).

The meat of this C&D seems to be a section towards the middle where they describe Mullenweg's keynote speech. It makes, according to WPE, these claims (numbers mine):

1. Claiming that WP Engine is a company that just wants to “feed off” of the WordPress ecosystem without giving anything back.

2. Suggesting that WP Engine employees may be fired for speaking up, supporting Mr. Mullenweg, or supporting WordPress, and offering to provide support in finding them new jobs if that were to occur.

3. Stating that every WP Engine customer should watch his speech and then not renew their contracts with WP Engine when those contracts are up for renewal.

4. Claiming that if current WP Engine customers switch to a different host they “might get faster performance.”

5. Alleging that WP Engine is “misus[ing] the trademark” including by using “WP” in its name.

6. Claiming that WP Engine’s investor doesn’t “give a dang” about Open Source ideals.

Under a US defamation analysis, claims (1), (3), and (6) appear to be statements of opinion. Statements of opinion, even when persuasively worded and authoritative, are generally not actionable as defamation. It might depend on the wording; in corner cases, an opinion can be actionable if it directly implies a conclusion made from facts known to the speaker and not disclosed to the audience --- but the facts involved have to be specific, you can't just imagine that I've implied I have secret facts (or my audience expects me to) because I'm Matt Mullenweg.

Claim (4) seems like it's probably just a fact? Is WPE assuredly the fastest possible provider at any given price point? The "might" also seems pretty important there.

That leaves (5) the allegation about the trademark dispute, which doesn't sound like an especially promising avenue for a lawsuit, but who knows? and (2) the bit about employee and former employee reprisals. The thing about (2) is if there's a single example of a disgruntled WPE employee who thinks they missed a promotion because they stuck up for the WordPress Foundation or whatever, WPE might have a hard time using that claim.

You'd think that before WordPress/Automattic started directly demanding funds from the board of WPE, they probably had some kind of counsel review this stuff and figure out what they could and couldn't safely say?

Maybe there's tortious interference stuff here that gives these claims more teeth than a typical defamation suit (I've come to roll my eyes at tortious interference, too; unless you're alleging really specific fact patterns I've come to assume these interference claims are also a sort of C&D "punctuation").

This is one of those times where I'm saying a lot of stuff in the hopes that someone much more knowledgeable will set me straight. :)

This is the problem with “all or nothing” systems or routines. In fact, it’s the reason streaks don’t work for a lot of people in the long term. Once you miss one day you think “well, I’m hopeless, might as well give up.”

The point is not to build a habit, it’s to make progress in the direction you want to move. If you walk instead of run one morning, is that a fitness failure? If you pay attention to your body and take a rest day, doesn’t that allow you to make progress the rest of the week?

People really need to remember that all these “systems” are there to serve you, not the other way around. Do what’s workable, and just keep moving in the right direction.
this consumes bandwidth, battery and cpu(?)
(1) The WPE C&D is, in my opinion, sloppily written, full of equivocation/fallacious reasoning. The situation is not "clear". (2) We haven't heard Matt's explanation of the text messages. (3) The WordPress name was registered in 2006 by Matt's company Automattic. In 2010 it was generously (no good deed is unpunished) transferred to a 501(c)3 and Automattic was given a license to the mark (at least in WordPress.com). According to WPE themselves: "the payment ostensibly would be for a 'license' to use certain trademarks like WordPress, even though WP Engine needs no such license". That's a potentially disputed claim: they very well may need a license as they are (currently) possibly in violation of the (generous) trademark policy by advertising services they've titled "Essential WordPress", "Core WordPress", and "Enterprise WordPress". It's unwise to malign Matt publicly – a court will be sorting out the necessity of the license.
There is a level of annoyance when these things pop-up after about 10-15 seconds due to, what feels like, an entire OS of Java script coming along for the ride to make it happen. But other than that it is a very minor inconvenience.

The one that has change my browsing habits is the EU need to tell you how many companies are using your data. Going to a fairly plain site only to have the pop-up say "Your data is being sold to 734 vendors" - that is obscene! Makes you think twice about going to a site like that.
I have never needed to call `patchelf` for anything. If I saw someone putting `--dynamic-linker` in a call to a C compiler I would assume it's out of scope for me.

There's already like 100 tools I need to know for my job, I don't want low-level OS and C stuff to add another 50 or even another 20.

This is a little bit "Whatever the world was like when I was 20 is perfect, everything before that is too old, everything after that is too new", but, I'm definitely just reaching for Docker for this. Unless I'm running a GUI application or something else that's hard to containerize.
