Better evidence is always good, but we much more drastically need better policy. Psychadelics' potential benefits are still being explored, but their risks are pretty well-documented and quite minimal compared to a broad swath of substances legal for adults to acquire. There is no reason consenting adults should be criminalized for seeking them out
Plastic is natural. Polyolefins like PE and PP are essentially highly polymerized waxes, like bees wax. Polystyrene is derived from styrene a chemical that various plants naturally produce. We are increasingly discovering that microbes and fungi do consume and digest most commodity plastics. Plastics are by definition organic materials. The only major commodity compound not related to compounds already found in nature is Polyvinylchloride. The most common plastic on earth is entirely naturally produced. It's chemistry is too complicated for man to economically produce at industrial scale. The name of this plastic is lignin and it is what gives wood its strength and resilience.

I can see variants of the Cerebras approach taking slices of the VC investment pie.

For example, arrays of identical and simple chips with in-chip memory could have similar performance as the monolithic Cerebras wafers-scale chips. Not for all workloads, but some, such as inference.

I find endorsements very valuable when voting in down-ballot elections. A good endorsement includes the reasoning behind the decision. I read the endorsements of multiple outlets and find myself agreeing more with one or the other.

What's the alternative, do comprehensive research on the record of 20 candidates? I don't have time for that. Read the blurbs they write about themselves in the voter's guide? Why should I trust that, they can write anything there.
Highlighted. Thanks!

Absolutely off topic here — what has your experience with Joplin been, if you don’t mind me asking?

I recently tried to migrate to Joplin from an amalgamation of notes apps (including Standard Notes, via an ENEX converter in between). I really wanted to love it, but it proved to be unusably slow. I think it might have been my WebDAV service, but replacing it wasn’t a project I was interested in. That was with about 3,000 notes, so I’m not sure if my experience is typical.
For US federal employees political endorsements are considered toxic career terminators as determined by The Hatch Act and DoD Directive 1344.10.

* https://osc.gov/Services/Pages/HatchAct-Federal.aspx

* https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/do...

I generally follow that same guidance even when not in federal employment just out of decorum, mutual respect, and professionalism. As such I would view my corporate business leaders becoming directly involved in elections and commingling that activity with their office leadership as completely and irreversibly toxic.

I am pretty sure they just grep'd mail.ru, added a couple of other sus entries and pushed the commit. It's painfully obvious if you take a look at the file https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS, there are no mail.ru addresses left (it's a public email service akin to gmail). The next day someone woke up Linus and told him to answer the public and he came up with the usual FU. That's basically all.
The CMake support in CLion is excellent. Visual Studio 2022 also has native CMake support but I find the CMake tooling in CLion to be much better.
It's a bit impressive that AI managed to produce something blobbier than a binary blob. AI is the blobbiest blob, so blobby that it's a black box to even its own authors.

I wonder how could anyone be an open source enthusiast, distrusting source code they can't verify, and yet a LLM enthusiast, trusting a huge configuration file that can't be debugged.

Granted I don't have a lot of knowledge about LLMs. From what I know, there are some tools that can tell you the confidence/stickiness of certain parts of the generate output, e.g. "for a prompt like this, this word WILL appear almost every time, while this other word will almost never appear." I think there was something similar for image generation that could tell what areas of an image stemmed from what terms in the prompt. I have no idea how this information is derived, but it doesn't feel like there are many end-user tools for this. Maybe the AI researchers have access to more powerful tooling.

For source code I can just open a file in notepad.exe to inspect it. I think that's the standard.

If, for example, a computer program was programmed using an esoteric language that read used image files instead of text files as source code, I don't think you would be able to consider that program "open source" unless the image format it used was also open source, e.g. PNG. If it was some proprietary format, people can't create tools for it, so they can't actually do anything the image blob, which restricts their freedoms.
Impossible, no. Worth it? The names are annoying, but not as annoying as the transition would.
It's a really bad time to enter the industry right now. We're still going through layoffs left and right (partially a market correction of covid overhiring, probably partially also fear of AI replacing many of us or making companies irrelevant). I'd reconsider this if I were you...

But if you really want to, you can maybe try to get your foot in the door either through the verticals you have experience with (like hospitality software or construction management software or building design software, etc.)

You can also try online courses to see if you like any particular part of the industry, such as programming, UX design, cybersecurity, etc... or of course all the latest AI stuff.

Your local community college might also have internships & job placements, which can help you get your foot in the door.

But I don't think anyone is hiring inexperienced people right now. There's still too many people out of work with years of experience, and AI is getting better and better, so many of our current roles may vanish or at least shrink in the years to come.

Sorry OP. The situation was pretty different 5 years ago, and if you had this change of mind during COVID, it would've been a much easier time to get in.

Sometimes these things are cyclical though, so maybe things will recover in a few years. Wouldn't count on it, though... =/

Also, generally, the Great Lakes region. I've been thinking for decades now that when the big water fights get underway in the Southwest, the late-21st century megalopoleis of North America are going to be Chicago, Toronto, Milwaukee, Detroit... between "access to fresh water" and "cold in winter, but rarely subjected to catastrophic weather", the whole region is vastly better suited to large-scale settlement than, say, Phoenix or Las Vegas.
No no no, you don't understand. We'll remove it from the environment. So the environment will be safe -- the byproducts will be disposed of outside of the environment!
Also, Anglo (as in Anglo-Saxon) settlers aren't even that prominent demographically in California.

Irish (eg. Kearny), German (eg. Haas, Levi, Sutter), Southern Italians, Russian, and Chinese settlers were much more prominent than Anglos during the frontier era along with the obviously large Hispanic population in a region that has been under Spanish rule longer than it has been under American rule.
Yes, I might have misworded my question. My question is in relation to this paragraph on page 12:

"Note that the SQL ORDER BY directive can be modelled as a non-linear aggregate function that emits a list. However, such an implementation is not efficiently incrementalizable in DBSP. We leave the efficient handling of ORDER BY to future work."

My understanding is that Feldera does indeed support ORDER BY, which I imagine it does incrementally, thus my question.

The statement in the paper that ordering is not efficiently incrementalisable seems to makes sense to me. It is clear that even though Z-sets are not naively able to represent diffs of ordered relations (since Z-sets are unordered), ordering can be modelled as an aggregate that first builds up the first row, then the second row, and so on. Even as formulated this way however, I fail to see how the entire "incrementalised" computation would still be practically incremental, in the sense that the size of the output diff (Z-set) is small as long as the diff of the input is small.

For example, consider the query `select x from y order by x asc`, and the following values respectively occur in the stream of x: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Now, consider the incremental diff for the last value of 1. If presumably one models order by a list aggregation, then the Z-set for the entire computation seems to be

- [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
+ [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]

which grows with the size of the output set rather than the size of the input diff. If presumably one models order by e.g. adding an order column, the diff would be

- 2 (index: 0)
- 3 (index: 1)
- 4 (index: 2)
- 5 (index: 3)
+ 1 (index: 0)
+ 2 (index: 1)
+ 3 (index: 2)
+ 4 (index: 3)
+ 5 (index: 4)

which once again varies with the size of the output set.

I haven’t read Albion’s seed, so maybe I’m missing something. But… I don’t see any evidence for anything in the piece. Just because you can make a narrative about the similarities between puritans and certain facets of California policy doesn’t mean that one caused the other. I could point out parallels between the puritans and Japanese culture too, or Venezuelan culture. This doesn’t seem like history to me so much as fiction writing.
Goodharts law basically states that false proxies are game-able. The solution is to stop wasting time on tracking false proxies. Instead, roll up your sleeves and do something.
The articles point that fanaticism and 'belief' are no standalone basis for medical attention is entirely fair. However, the article also contains many opinion statements by the journalist, some of which are written for effect.

For example, it opens by claiming No psychiatric treatment has attracted quite as much cash and hype as psychedelics have in the past decade - really?? Nobody would seriously believe that, of the entire pharmaceutical world, the largest $ slice goes to psychedelic research. Not even close.

Or, Suggesting that people should get off proven medications in order to try MDMA or psilocybin is dangerous unless those drugs are backed by airtight evidence - this is an arguable claim, in the wording semantics, because it implies that it's standard for regulated medications to be risk-free, "airtight" idealisms with only good possible outcomes, when the reality is quite far from that! - a % of SSRI patients routinely experience seriously unpleasant or debilitating side effects and withdrawal ordeals. To exclude effective treatments by way of special, higher ethical barriers to entry is not necessarily scientifically sound practice.

In US alone, we should be able to locate at least one among thousands ( According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 10,220 sociology professors in colleges, universities, and professional schools, and 2,630 in junior colleges.

I suppose we could limit it to what who gets published, shown on TV and so on, but then we would go back to the 'regarding' question, but, at its core, this is US, where people publish all sorts of idiocy all the time.. I somehow doubt it would require much conjuring.

If customers don't want features smashed on them they should choose a vendor that claims not to do that.

Instead, Crowdstrike was quite clear that no computer systems that need to be reliable should have their software installed on it. While, I do think it's not great to "move fast and break things"; it's certainly a valid corporate approach in many markets. Delta should have done better vendor selection.

One only need to look at the current depictions of sex in popular shows to see why people don't like them. These are incredible gratuitous and basic and exist for shock value without a shred of passion nor artistry. Worse, they can detract from the actual story of the show and reduce overall enjoyment. For example, look at The Boys extremely detailed and crude rape scenes for absolutely zero reason.

Sex sells, but it can also diminish overall entertainment value if not done right. Too bad sale is the only thing most producers care about.

> Such ad hominem attacks are against the site guidelines.

That actually isn't an ad hominem attack. But you can have one anyway: you are clearly not even slightly concerned with whether the things you say are true. Doing any amount of research would immediately show you that you are - in the very most charitable interpretation - acting as a useful idiot for ideologues. Stop trying to spread blatant falsehoods.

> Dr. Brian McAlary, an anesthesiologist, wrote in an argument on Grayson's behalf that Smith likely panicked due to an automatic response to the inability to breathe oxygen

This is impossible, since no such response exists. The only breathing-related automatic response that humans have is that they become distressed in the presence of excessive carbon dioxide.

That is why every industry that may potentially expose people to low-oxygen environments endlessly repeats the warning: if you go into an atmosphere of all nitrogen (or any other non-oxygen gas, but most commonly nitrogen), you will die without ever realizing that anything is wrong. If you see your friend collapse, do not attempt to rescue them, because you will die too.

That is what people who are rescued from low-oxygen environments report, and it's what is universally observed in the case where somebody is in a position to observe. There is no perceptible difference between breathable air, and air that contains neither oxygen nor carbon dioxide.

> A second expert, Dr. Thomas Andrew, the chief medical examiner of New Hampshire, agreed that Smith should have been sedated before his execution because nitrogen hypoxia introduces "a sense of the absence of oxygen, air hunger, and all of the panic and discomfort that is part and parcel of that way of dying.

Again, this is known to be false, and since both of these people have medical credentials, we can safely say that they are knowingly lying. But you should aspire to be better than they are. There is no such thing as "a sense of the absence of oxygen"; that is not something that humans can feel.

> basis of an unfair competition case?

It is anti-competitive to kill the competition before you product launch, if you they have active plans to be in the market or already under product development during the same time .

Clearly Google was unable to show that it wasn't the case, the onus is on them to show that they didn't even think they would ever get into this space. It would be ridiculous proposition to prove for them given that information discovery and aggregation has always been core to their search business, any competent product manager was thinking about it 5 years before at-least.

It is not like they killed competition say in mobile OS space in 2005 and then decided to buy Android couple of years laters to build a competitor to Apple and got sued for that, Search and aggregation of other sites is the foundation of their business .
