Here's an example from my corner of the Defense Department:

In order to publish a research paper, it has to be reviewed for suitability for public release. This process is more than a little silly, because it requires seven levels of review, of which exactly one - my immediate supervisor - will have any idea what the paper is about. But fine.

There used to be a paper form. You'd fill it out and either route it around for signatures, or if you had a time crunch, walk it around yourself. Eventually they replaced the paper form with a web form, so now there's an automated queuing system that emails people when they have a paper waiting to be reviewed.

The web form has all of the same info as the paper form, with one addition. They scanned the paper form and turned it into a pdf, and they make you fill out both the web form AND the pdf version of the original paper form. So to sign off on a paper, you now have to download the pdf, digitally sign it, upload it again, and hit the "Approve" button on the web form.

Because God help us if anybody does an audit and we don't have all of the forms correctly signed.
If enough of these crazies move to Greenbank it will at least help keep the area a radio quiet zone, so good for the observatory!
There is nothing crazy about that. Some birds are very sensitive to radio, it disturbs their build in compass [1]. So there is some substance to similar claims.

And right now there is no conclusive evidence, radio does not cause headaches in some edge cases.

Plus moving to such place brings many practical benefits. No mobile phones severely limits type of people one will interact with.

> is the thought "if I start this, I have to do this properly, and see it all the way through" a major part of that hesitation?

I don't think that's it. It is the knowledge that, please forgive my blunt comparison, a spoiled child that wants this and than that and then that other thing and so on, will never get fulfilment.

The trick to good fulfilment is (sometimes anxious) persistence followed by some redemption.

An example. For work, there's some hardware related software bug that is nagging me already for some time. I want to find the fix. For that, i need to read docs and schematics, talk to people, do experiments and fail quite often. Finally i will have a mental model good enough to understand and fix the problem. The road can be frustrating, but i know fixing it will be fulfilling, and that keeps me going. Also the fact that some people are relying on/anticipating the solution, helps with my motivation.

If i just would try some other discipline every other day, i would never get such fulfilment.
Chrome is worse than Firefox, literally a name and URL for a link and name for folder. At least with Firefox you can tag bookmarks and use keywords.

I'm curious how Firefox comes off worse in your view, chrome seems to provide basic usage which Firefox also provides.

EDIT: just saw your other reply about it. Definitely can't agree, there's nothing fiddly with the way Firefox allows you to move, create, rename, delete, or update links and folders. Same functionality as chrome as far as I can tell.

No. The ISS is decommissioned in 2030 and Boeing is losing money on the programme. It makes sense for nobody to continue this charade.
I see this quite often with gym equipment. If it's designed poorly no amount of padding helps, while better designed equipment may not even have much more than a rubberised pad for grip.
> I have an “intuition” about the number of reps I’ve performed without consciously counting them.

This is known as subitising.
This. Also the question is what the possible complexity of the question is that you want to convey. As long as it is rather simple it might seem realistic to argue that there is no language involved (i would argue this is wrong). But as soon as the problems get more complex, the system you need to use to communicate this question becomes more and more undeniably a form of language (i think about complexity here as things like self-referentiality which need sufficiently complex formal systems to be expressed – think what gödel is about). So this part seems more complicated than it is understood. The same goes for the brain-imaging argument. As a philosopher I have unfortunately seen even accomplished scientists in this field follow a surprisingly naive empiricist approach a lot of times – which seems to me to be the case here also.
I guess that if the bulk of the computation goes into the multiplications, you can work in the log-space and simply sum, and when the time comes to actually do a sum on the original space you can go back and sum.
But when you get the comingled aircraft in your fleet, will the Chinese knockoff 737s be more or less defective than the next generation Boeings?
But, why doesn't the ethernet just connect to the device directly? Have they really taken so many ports away from us that the only way to connect to ethernet is to daisy chain through a fucking smart monitor?
You've got the right test procedure.

And note that it doesn't have to be all EM energy--sensitivity to one common frequency plus a lack of understanding of what's happening could explain it.
It’s your car, so ultimately the liability is yours. That’s why you have insurance. If Tesla retains ownership, and just lets you drive it, then they have (more) liability.
Yep, this pretty accurately describes the way of think. I have a pretty heavy inner monologue, but it's not the only way I think. I've found that words are the way I "organize" my thoughts from muddled general ideas mixed with feelings into concise ideas that I can understand and gain insights from. I often won't fully grasp the significance of an idea I have until I talk it out with someone and find a way to put it into words that distill whatever I'm thinking into a more minimal form.

Somewhat relatedly, I've started suspecting over the past few years that this is why I struggle to multitask or split my attention; while I can ruminate on several things at once, the "output" of my thinking is bottlenecked by a single stream that requires me to focus on exclusively to get a anything useful from it. Realizing this has actually helped me quite a bit in terms of being more productive because I can avoid setting myself up for failure by trying to get too much done at once and failing rather than tackling things one at a time.

I have an old Pi 3 installed at my mother-in-law's house running Tailscale (which uses WireGuard as its actual VPN layer). It is connected to my Tailnet along with my Jellyfin server, and I have nginx set up as a reverse proxy to expose the Jellyfin server on the LAN IP of the Pi. This way, she and her sons can access my Jellyfin server as if it were on their LAN - great option for non technical relatives.

This setup has been in place about a year now and just works. The Pi can handle about 50 Mbit bidirectional over WireGuard, which is suffient even for a couple of 4K media streams. I am planning to duplicate this setup at some other relatives' homes.
Five ways 'honest' placebos can help
Why does my monitor need to do that? My OS, the Intel Management Engine, my application, the website I'm using, my internet provider, my modem's hardware stack, and the several networked microphones in my home are already doing it.
That's what I mean by "pip on the corner" :P

The comment above mine was using this terminology to refer to the corner of a face.
I can remember the sequence of sounds and like a delay line repeat that sequence in my head. This becomes easier the more distinguishable the taps are or the more of a cadence variability there is. But if it is a longer sequence I compress it by remembering an analogue like so: doo doo da doo da doo da da doo (reminiscent of morse code, or a kind of auditory binary). Would we consider this language? I think in the colloquial sense no, but it is essentially a machine language equivalent.

For context I have both abstract "multimedia" thought processes and hypervisor-like internal narrative depending on the nature of the experience or task.
20k developed and configured. 150usd/hour for maintenance/scaling.
I used Sapling for many months before switching to JJ. In my mind -- and I'm insanely biased as I am a JJ developer at this point -- they are both leagues ahead of Git, but I think JJ's Git interop, conflict handling, and general UX make it much more powerful and general than Sapling. Conflict handling alone is leagues better. (Martin worked on version control for a long time, and JJ is a tool that can only be created by someone with deep expertise in the domain, which I think shows itself over and over again in its use.)

If you are already using Sapling then at least trying it should be fairly easy and familiar. You could also write a JJ backend for Mononoke and EdenFS if you wanted and then use it at work ;) You wouldn't be the first JJ user from Meta, actually...

We do have plans to explore server-side designs with virtual filesystems, chunked storage, etc. There's nothing concrete yet.

(Another benefit is that JJ is much easier to write patches and contribute to due to being a relatively new, small Rust project, whereas Sapling is much more developed but much bigger and harder to get into, I think.)
NASA is giving the money to SpaceX
Depends on both location and how you secure it. Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague; yeah, it will get stolen at some point. The rest of the country? Should be fine as long as you always (always) use a cable lock (like those which slot into the regular rear wheel lock) to affix to something unmoveable like a light post, the bicycle stand, or a railing of some kind. Also, don't have an e-bike or something fancy like a VanMoof.
You're right, thanks. One of the biggest updates in 12.5.6 is transitioning the highway Autopilot to FSD. If he has 12.5.4 then it may still be using the old non-FSD Autopilot on highways which would explain why he hasn't noticed improvement there; there hasn't been any until 12.5.6.
Regardless of all else I'm hoping we can all agree on:

* The wordpress foundation (and wordpress.org) is not independent enough from Matt & Automattic

* taking over a package in a package registry with automatic updates is really, really bad
RCTs show that patients experience symptoms when told the radio is on, but not when it's actually on. See e.g. the TV programme with Richard Hammond a while back ("should I be worried about..." I think it was called).
> My sense is that people have a cognitive bias here

Of course - we all do! :-)

I just thought you possibly have seen some more numbers/details about those diffuse harms, rather than merely a belief they must be bigger (which is totally fine, we're all entitled to our opinions or lack thereof, it's just that I believe that opinions are impossible to debate meaningfully until they become supported by facts).

This said, I think I understand your logic, but even without having any numbers I also think it's really hard to weigh different harms against each other, especially when it comes to such diffused harms.

As a simple contrived (and strictly synthetic, not connected to real life but merely a very naive thought online-comment-grade thought experiment to demonstrate the point) example - what's better, millions coughing or hundreds behaving aggressively? Or, say, thousands jailed for possession? (All numbers absolutely not related to real world situation, only to have different scales for the argument purposes!) How do we assign some "weights" to those, on what scale, and how do we "sum" those weights (it could be that a naive arithmetic sum is not the appropriate operation in the field of social well-being)?

Hope this makes sense!
The 1st one is only better if judges are unbiased, but they're not, and we need to stop pretending like they are.
> It's clear that having half the casualty rate per distance traveled of the median human driver isn't acceptable.

Even if we optimistically assume no "gotchas" in the statistics [0], distilling performance down to a casualty/injury/accident-rate can still be dangerously reductive, when the have a different distribution of failure-modes which do/don't mesh with our other systems and defenses.

A quick thought experiment to prove the point: Imagine a system which compared to human drivers had only half the rate of accidents... But many of those are because it unpredictably decides to jump the sidewalk curb and kill a targeted pedestrian.

The raw numbers are encouraging, but it represents a risk profile that clashes horribly with our other systems of road design, car design, and what incidents humans are expecting and capable of preventing or recovering-from.

[0] Ex: Automation is only being used on certain subsets of all travel which are the "easier" miles or circumstances than the whole gamut a human would handle.
Part of the benefit of having Starliner and SpX is redundancy. Having multiple vendors to choose from/have compete each other/use as backups if one is grounded, is a large part of the point. Having anyone, including Musk, have control over both defeats the purpose of redundancy.
I'd challenge the legitimacy of the claim that it's 10x safer, or even safer at all. The safety data provided isn't compelling to me, it can be games or misrepresented in various ways, as pointed out by others.
My recollection is that some European countries have better union laws where competition between unions is allowed rather than giving each union a legally protected monopoly where others cannot work. The lack of competition makes American unions especially bad and leads to corrupt union leaders or unnecessarily hostile relationships with their company. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There might be better balanced approaches.
It’s quite easy to be safer than a human driver, since humans are just human. Supervision is required because the system can face edge cases.

ABSTRACT

Large neural networks spend most computation on floating point tensor multiplications. In this work, we find that a floating point multiplier can be approximated by one integer adder with high precision. We propose the linear-complexity multiplication (L-Mul) algorithm that approximates floating point number multiplication with integer addition operations. The new algorithm costs significantly less computation resource than 8-bit floating point multiplication but achieves higher precision. Compared to 8-bit floating point multiplications, the proposed method achieves higher precision but consumes significantly less bit-level computation. Since multiplying floating point numbers requires substantially higher energy compared to integer addition operations, applying the L-Mul operation in tensor processing hardware can potentially reduce 95% energy cost by elementwise floating point tensor multiplications and 80% energy cost of dot products. We calculated the theoretical error expectation of L-Mul, and evaluated the algorithm on a wide range of textual, visual, and symbolic tasks, including natural language understanding, structural reasoning, mathematics, and commonsense question answering. Our numerical analysis experiments agree with the theoretical error estimation, which indicates that L-Mul with 4-bit mantissa achieves comparable precision as float8 e4m3 multiplications, and L-Mul with 3-bit mantissa outperforms float8 e5m2. Evaluation results on popular benchmarks show that directly applying L-Mul to the attention mechanism is almost lossless. We further show that replacing all floating point multiplications with 3-bit mantissa L-Mul in a transformer model achieves equivalent precision as using float8 e4m3 as accumulation precision in both fine-tuning and inference.
What do you expect. It's a Gazelle. Last year I bought a second hand Gazelle Champion road frame that is my age and built it up with parts that at least look period correct, even though they're not necessarily. It's a joy to ride.
You can buy edibles and then split them into whatever dosage does the trick for you. At least in most legal states you can.
That will identify if EM energy in general is harmful--and I think it's pretty clear that it is not.

But what happens if 1 person in a million responds to Wi-Fi frequencies like nails on a chalkboard? It wouldn't need to actually be directly harmful.
By feel, I can without language or counting, play mostly

X . . X . . X . . . X . X . . .

and every so often switch out for variations, eg:

X . . X . . X . X . . . X . . .

or

X . . . X . . . . . X . X . . .

but I'm no good for playing polyrhythms, which many other people can do, and I believe they must also do so more by feel than by counting.
LOOPS was one of the early frameworks for AI programming (-> for Knowledge-based Systems -> especially Expert Systems) in Lisp, which also made use of the new graphical user interface of the Interlisp-D Lisp Machine from Xerox. Interlisp-D was a combination of operating system and development environment, and was developed for the same computers, which also ran Smalltalk. Both were image-based and managed the source code in the development environment.

Remarkable is the fully interactive way of working in the REPL (Lisp's Read Eval Print Loop) and through the GUI, including live editing all classes/etc. via menus. LOOPS extended Interlisp with various ways to do object-oriented programming and a rule-system.

There is also a "friendly primer" for Xerox LOOPS, from mid 1980s. https://bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/interlisp-d/198510_Koto/3102...

Note that LOOPS is an early OOP System, it's not a about iteration in a loop.
uh funny that you mention sf/nyc, given your first paragraph, as sf in particular is the huge exception to the correlation.
A few manufacturers are now shipping monitors with the same OS as their smart TVs, so they can stream Netflix and stuff standalone. OP has an LG one, and I know Samsung are also doing it on some of their newer models. Thankfully there's still plenty of dumb monitors on the market for now, including most LGs and Samsungs.
That has been falsified by more studies than I can keep track of. And yes, if you charge your electric with electricity produced by oil, the climate effect will be non-optimal.
From the changlog on Github:

The new version brings:

- even better performance,
- a more granular reactivity system with runes,
- more expressive template syntax with snippets and event attributes,
- native TypeScript support,
- and backwards compatibility with the previous syntax!

we will keep refining anything and everything untill we get it concentrated into a white chrystaline powder,ie: 100% X.And then moan and groan till we can find something else with a bigger kick and bang for the buck and start refining that.
It's a ridiculous, retracted claim that's very very suspicious. Especially given that the US didn't allow it's weapons to be used in the area. And there's many tools the government has to make companies comply. Starting with money, which they refused to pay.

He sounds like that kind of boss we have all had where you actively avoid interacting with him because his ideas will be stupid and get your project off track. I think SpaceX succeeds despite having to deal with current Elon.
I learned Svelte 3 over a year ago and I found it very pleasant. Unlike React, Svelte is an integrated framework, no "pick your router" nonsense, I don't want to be picking a router.

I like the direction Svelte going in, the old syntax was ok but not great.

I wonder how this new Svelte compares with some of the other new kids on the block like solid.js and alpine.js.
Here’s the release on GitHub: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/releases/tag/svelte%405.0...

Probably a better link for this post?
The difference is that Tesla has a general algorithm, while Waymo is hard coding scenarios.

I never really got why people bring Waymo up every time Tesla’s FSD is mentioned. Waymo isn’t competing with Tesla’s vision.
what about something like pinion e-drive system?
I can. But I do this by visualizing the taps as a group. I don't have to label them with a number. I can see them in my mind, thus recalling the taps. If I tap with any sort of rhythm I can see the rhythm in the way they are laid out in my mind and this helps with recollection.

If I want to translate this knowledge into a number, I need to count the taps I am seeing in my head. At that point I do need to think of the word for the number.

I could even do computations on these items in my mind, imagine dividing them into two groups for instance, without ever having to link them to words until I am ready to do something with the result, such as write down the number of items in each group.
Is the idea of a travel router for the purpose of making sure there are no leaks while using a VPN on a publicly accessible AP?

Client devices -> “travel router” with WG -> public AP

My preferred way is to enable WG on-demand for devices and immediately detect if WiFi or Ethernet is not my home internet.

Client devices (phone, laptop) with WG -> public AP

Or is there some other purpose?
Indeed. To err is human.

No one wants to talk about what WP Engine does, because Matt is making own-goals twice a week.

But maybe they exceed human cognition abilities?
Elon is under investigation by the DOJ/SEC so there is the possibility he ends up with jail time given his record.

Also he should probably focus on Tesla and X given how poorly both are doing right now.

I don't think they meant to express the intention of it being independent when creating a nonprofit. I think they just created a nonprofit because that's what made the most sense of the available options. I think a B Corp is more along the lines of what was intended.
