While I agree with you in principle, in practice Google makes side loading so convoluted and scary that I think they do need / deserve some censure here. The fact you have to go deep into settings, toggle weird settings that tell you how dangerous it is to side load and then it toggles the setting back after you put it on without asking you - this is not all that different to Apple letting you use an alternative payment provider but putting so many warnings in place that no user would ever do it.

I want Google to make ability to side load an actively supported first class feature of the platform. There can be a warnings and additional security measures (scanning, permissions boxing etc if necessary) but nothing that in practice has the effect of preventing a commercial entity from shipping a functional app outside of their store.

Last year, when I did the math, batteries still had a 15 year payoff time. I'm not going to be in this house in 15 years. If the state subsidized it more (it is kind of a public good imo), or I could easily roll it into house value, I'd do it.

I'm trying to move to a nicer house. When I do that, I'll almost certainly just go for it.
Hardly any war is symmetric, even when it is in a large sense there are differences in various theaters and specific battle situations. Sometimes you just need both as we can see in Israel which have every technology possible and yet wants to buy more Apache helicopters and Vulcans for air defence, two technologies they thought they will not need anymore

> Additionally there are far more genres of podcast than one or two talking heads. I wouldn’t call a Dungeons and Dragons podcast a talk show, video or audio.

That's fine with me. In that case, what's the difference between a "video podcast" and a "show"?

> A video podcast is distributed over RSS like any other podcast, unlike a talk show which is distributed via television.

Both of these are obviously false; podcasts need not be distributed by RSS and talk shows need not be distributed by television. Most obviously, radio is well known for the number of talk shows that are distributed over it. Next, podcasts tend to be distributed by providing download links on a web page. Then, talk shows are defined by their content and are distributed via any and all video channels; here's one I follow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUc-rp7o3g

That particular video involves asking three guests to discuss the differences between chopsticks in each of their home countries. What would you call it?
The problem with a "kill list" like that is that most of these overused tropes are overused because originally, they worked really well. E.g. if you strictly followed the first item on your list, you'd miss out on the Belgariad, which is really quite good (in my opinion, and that of the GP poster, at least. I'm personally less sold on the Malloreon, it's a bit too much of a retread for my taste.)

That said, I do agree that too many red flags like that and I will put down a book. And some are stronger than others; I'm 100% with you on the harem thing because any book like that is most likely just an excuse for all the sex scenes.
The old ‘Russia will not use nukes because they have not used nukes’ routine so people can feel safer about poking the bear. There is always a first time and I’m very thankful that it hasn’t happed yet.

To me a near peer implies that either side has a good chance of losing the war. It’s my opinion that Russia has not yet been at a real risk of losing this war and thus has not yet had a need to use nuclear weapons. I’m aware that the NAFO line is that Ukraine still has this in the bag - but I still don’t see a Ukrainian victory as a likely.

I assume this is why the gp post suggested ‘near peer’ implies nukes.

Hi all, I’m Chris Lewis, a recent BS/MS graduate from USC’s Iovine and Young Academy. My undergrad focused on blending arts, technology, and business with an emphasis on product strategy and entrepreneurship, while my grad degree in Product Innovation integrated UI/UX and industrial design with product strategy and PM skills.

I specialize in industrial design, UI design, and product strategy, with some programming experience in a variety of languages. I’ve worked on projects including furniture, home fixtures, a ski glove for Apple Watch users, and a Human-Factors-Engineering-based redesign of the operating table remote. I’m looking for roles in industrial design or product development where I can apply my creative and technical skills and I’m also open to UI/UX roles or entry-level track for PM.
> but a drone with a grenade isn’t really effective vs tanks

You may be thinking of AP grenades, but broadly speaking this isn't true. UA has been dropping RKG-3 anti-tank grenades since early in the invasion. Any drone with a 3 pound lift capacity can knock out armor.

The F-22 is still a better dogfighting craft than the F-35. In many many ways the F-35 is effectively a commoditised, specced down version of the F-22 geared towards general multi-role operation while the F-22 is hyper-specialised towards killing any other aircraft.

And importantly, the US wants to export the F-35 but keep the F-22 close to chest so that should push come to shove, the US can always maintain air superiority.

I don't think you understand what I meant by human verified, but I used a very vague term to express what I meant, I meant proving that some input or data that comes from a user was generated by a human (whatever we define that to mean) rather than an LLM or multi-modal image/video/audio model output.

Yes

In a limited capacity yes but also in like 5 or so years the answer will be an unequivocal yes.

> but another thing to consider I suppose would be if all trials are performed sequentially or simultaneously.

Yes! That definitely came up while I was thinking about the problem.

I concluded that, in cases where you desire to eliminate (1) a particular target (2) under time constraints, only simultaneous attempts make sense. (And that this combination of needs is common.)

If instead your goal is to cause random deaths, you can ignore the simultaneous/sequential distinction, treat every drone as having a different target, and just say that 3 30% drones will get 0.9 kills for every 0.8 kills from 1 80% drone.

The company deliberately started disguising ads as content a decade ago, and soon after upped the ads-to-content ratio. Revenue was declining and their solution was to show more ads and to make them more annoying.
Ukraine was not considered to be a near peer to Russia before the war. It seems likely that they thought they’d have a quick win. Possibly, whatever it is they are after, it isn’t worth the pariah status using nuclear weapons would produce. (Or maybe they still think they can get it done conventionally).
Selling carrots is much different than developing a store brand product based on the algorithms only you have access to. Amazon is basically outsourcing R&D and market research to startups then taking the market away once they have a success.

Thanks, I haven't heard of "Die Broke".

> "Die Broke" is similar. I read it ten years ago and it completely changed my attitude towards money.

One point "Die With Zero" makes within the first chapter or so is valuing experiences early on because experiences gain value over time, sort of like memory dividends. That is something I never thought about in that context but it goes a lot further than that too. An experience you have may shape you as a person. If you hoard your savings like a dragon until you're 60+ then you're missing out on decades of potential situations that can have a huge impact on your life.
> It's crazy to me people would rather deny the intelligence of a large segment of the human population than admit to the increasing overlap between it and AI.

You’re the one here denying. I think the vast majority (if not all) of humans are intelligent under my definition. You do not.

I don’t think LLMs or other statistical models are.

Go Sync.Map: The Right Tool for the Right Job
I can't help it but I do not trust many of the told events here. Some of the events have as much twists and turns as a childish cartoon show. I can understand people killing for revenge but someone finding reason for revenge because a toddler took a piece of meat to eat and that led to a dead dog just seems so insane to me. Insane because these same people are capable of hunting, socializing and crafting stuff which definetely require intelligence. Yet the leaps of logic and reason they make to put the blame on someone to exact revenge on are enormous. Maybe it is all true but I cannot comprehend it.
Take the simple example of joining via foreign key to another table in a parent child relationship. SQL makes you redundantly specify the other table even though it is fully defined by the foreign key relationship. Purists will say "what if you actually want to join on some other column" or "what if there are multiple foreign key relationships" and a plethora of other "what ifs" and all these ignore the reality that 99.99% of the time it is completely unambiguous and they are just happy that millions of developers all around the world are uselessly typing redundant terms into queries. This is what leads people to eventually say "screw it, I'm scratching that itch" and we have "yet another abstraction layer".

Maurice Nicoll: Psychological Commentaries On The Teaching Of Gurdjieff And Ouspensky, Parts 1-6

This book is probably the best introduction to the teachings of Gurdjieff that have quite literally changed my life. Gurdjieff was a spiritual teacher whose approach is quite different from organized religions, new age gurus and such.

This approach is for people who have experienced or have a sense that there is something that the materialistic world view cannot explain, but feel that existing religions are lacking, for example they require you to believe in things that do not make sense.

In this approach there is no need to believe anything. You become convinced by your own experiences about some fundamental truths about human organization and capabilities, allowing you to start learning more.

You could say that it is "preparatory work", allowing you to learn enough to be able to discern helpful teachings from those that are less helpful.

The book is out of print. To get a physical copy you need to order it used from Amazon. Usually they are sold one book at a time. Just get any one book, there is no need to buy the full set. The books record individual discussions, and the same topics repeat in all the books. If the book resonates, I recommend that you continue with In Search of Miraculous by Ouspensky.

Due to the nature of their deployment (ad hoc, improvised, crowd-sourced) swarms of quads in Ukraine didn't have much of a counter. Nobody had thought enough about it yet. All the work had gone into developing really sophisticated, cheap drones for consumer use, and strapping a bomb on them was all it took to weaponize that consumer technology. Nobody had spent a similar amount of time developing an equally sophisticated anti-drone system as a counter to a non-existent attack. There have been some garage-level technologies to mitigate their practical effectiveness, but that's not what I mean. I think we're in this period where quads are the meta, because not enough money has been spent thinking about the defense against them, but right now DoD contractors are developing the systems that will make cheap drones less effective in the future. I don't know what that will look like, but I'm sure it's a top priority to figure it out.

The Bucharest memorandum contained the promises that:

- None of the countries (US, UK, and Russia) would threaten Ukraine’s territory

- If nuclear weapons were used against them, or they were threatened by nuclear weapons, the other signatories would “Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance”

Among other promises. So it seems like they’ve already had their promises violated.

In my film experience, I think most film people don’t like Gaussian either; too blurry for them as well. At least, I’ve sat in on filter evaluations with a couple of directors & VFX sups many years ago, and they said Gaussian was too soft and preferred a sharper Mitchell. But I am curious, perhaps similar to the sibling comment - how do you determine the optimal Gaussian width? You can certainly go narrower/sharper and get less blur at the cost of more artifacts similar to a sharper filter, right? BTW have we discussed this recently? ;) I love Gaussian’s ability to hide any hint of the pixel grid, which I find very few filters can do. I also tend to believe that, perceptually speaking, over-blurring slightly doesn’t hurt while under-blurring does, especially for moving things, but that might be more personal bias than objective reality. I would be interested to look at any comparisons or results from your software or in general, if you have some.

I'd argue it's more similar to 64-bit x86, and the only difference between the "standard" x86_64 ABI and x32 ABI is that x32's pointers are 32bit.

Everything else matches the 64-bit version - not the 32bit one - the instruction encoding, the extra registers, the minimum isa extensions (x86_64 puts a baseline of sse2), the calling convention advantages etc. etc.
You will need to have a field theory to go beyond what MOND in original form does. It does only modify Newtonian gravity in the non-relativistic regime, and it applies well at the scale of galaxies but does not address relativistic effects like the one we actually see. One example would be gravitational lensing . To be a successful theory of gravity you would need to be consistent with General relativity. That's the reason why you would go to extend MOND to field theory. The most famous framework would be TeVeS and it does have many fitting parameters.

That is fair. I am not smart enough to shape it out but I wonder if there is a difference between going into a reality expecting it to be fake and being unknowingly presented a fake reality.

Maybe I am just weird but I have definitely had at least one situation where a book got its hooks into me and my brain would be thinking about events in the book like I would real events. I forget exactly what parts caught my brain but I had a few times where I had to remind myself the book is fiction when it would pop into my head.
WinDurango – Xbox One Compatiability Layer for Windows
So I'm a little late posting this here, but over the past three years, I have been working on what was formerly known as XBONEmu, a way to play Xbox One titles on a Windows computer. About a month ago, I decided to make this project more open; we now have a Discord server and are accepting contributions. Currently, we don't have any games that boot, but we are looking for people skilled in reverse engineering, Windows internals, and those with a strong C++ background.

A lot of PE acquisitions are companies with would have otherwise trundled along not making any money but taking a very long time to go bankrupt, with the PE firm pushing them much faster towards bankruptcy. There is a causal relationship between a PE acquisition and going bankrupt, but nonetheless you’re right; obviously companies which are bought by people who buy failing businesses have worse outcomes than public companies.
