You're inventing an abstraction that is less familiar than the reality. If you know apples go in baskets, you've probably picked them. Or that oranges just don't grow around here.

It doesn't. But plenty of loans go unpaid despite what the terms say--that's why they're risky, and why they're profitable. The system allegedly works because we have a choice about whether the creditor profits.

And we'd be better off if that choice were more effective at keeping creditors accountable for the outcomes of the loans they grant, not merely their profitability, but for that to work the whose-loan-is-this question needs to have a simple answer.
Good question. Either way it works. Imagine adjusting the volume and going over a bump.
Happens all the time to Japanese people, too. There's a core set of characters that are well remembered, then there is a set of characters that you can remember most strokes of (so that someone else can read it) and then there's the stuff where you just have no idea.

Of course, you _can_ escape to Hiragana if you're so inclined, but then you would show that you don't know the character - so it's just avoided.

Ambiguity is king in Japan.
Chinese characters are not some kind of alphabet. It's like an intermediate language (IL) of mind. Many studentds in China can understand a subject but had the pronouciation completely wrong. In fact many would argue Chinese languages were never unified (mandarin/cantonese/etc) but the scripts were.

Chinese characters also had the benifits of photographic memory, presumably you are trained with the right method. The key is to detach the "listening/speaking" phonetics from the characters, wire your brain directly to visual ideograms along with reading/writing. Plus the grammar don't have conjugation nor declension, without the tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, mood, animacy, and definiteness and shit, which makes the scripts very fast to parse. I'd argue reading a paragraph of text is extremely fast in Chinese. You can grasp the general meaning from a large chunk of text without sequencially reading every word. It's like one of these novel apps that hightlight important vowel from English sentences for fast reading but still, you have to go to the translation layers of recall - sound - meaning process.

Sadly this art is lost because ideograms are fading in favor of PinYin in cyber world. The rise of shot-vids make literacy an expensive skill.
I discovered it similarly in a camping trip when I was a kid. We were walking around in near pitch darkness, and I saw out of the corner of my eye someone walk away from the group and try to hide behind a table or something. When I turned to look I couldn't see anything at all, but if I averted my eyes I could clearly see there was a person moving around crouched behind a table. I can't remember exactly, but I think I wasn't so much seeing them, but rather their movement, and mentally perceiving their silhouette.

I guess it looks sort of like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M83sF7_fYdM

AI vs. Human Generated Content

I think it's pretty silly to include ketamine as a psychadelic to be frank. Ketamine is legal as a horse tranquilizer, which is to say it's primarily a sedative and a CNS depressant. However, high doses can result in a dissociative euphoric state known colloquially as a "k-hole", which I guess some people view as a kind of "trip", the mechanism and psychoactive presentation are pretty different from what you get from e.g. LSD and Psilocybin.

I think the only reason these are grouped together is that ketamine is also seeing a renewed interest in research into microdosing as a depression remedy, but this seems to be mediated by a metabolite of ketamine and may be more of a direct remedy for a chemical imbalance than something like therapeutic trips. In other words, the grouping isn't psychopharmacological, but the zeitgeist of this moment in public perception of these drugs, which has been shaped by fifty-four years of the nonsensical logic of the prohibition enacted by the Controlled Substances Act in the US, some of the trappings of which have also been adopted by other nations, as often happens in a world where US policy has outsized influence both through trade and at gunpoint

Personally I'm skeptical of a lot of psychopharmacological interventions for complex disorders like clinical depression. SSRIs for example strike me as a series of remarkably irresponsible experiments with drugs that appear to permanently alter cognition on wide swaths of the population. I view psychadelics and possibly ketamine as not necessarily more effective overall, but far less dangerous in terms of unknown effects

I'm not truly confident AGI will be achieved before 2030, and less so for ASI. But I do think it is quite plausible that we will achieve at least AGI by 2030. 6 years is a long time in AI, especially with the current scale of investment.

>Communism (per Marx) describes a stateless society. A society without a state cannot be a democracy. Communism is antidemocratic per definition.

False, democracy does not require a state.

No capitalism only means this: an economic system where private individuals or corporations own and control the production and distribution of goods and services.

It would result in a pretty severe loss of fidelity.

You may think it’s not needed, because that information isn’t available in spoken Chinese. The same is true for written English - putting spaces between words, dividing texts into paragraphs, capitalizing them, differentiating between different pauses (a comma, period, semicolon, etc. all signifying what kind of pause something its), quotation marks, parenthesis, etc. - none of this is available in our spoken language, and we’re still able to understand it. In theory, we could get rid of them all and understand what’s being written. In practice, most people would find the result to be an incomprehensible mess.

The same goes for Chinese. Written languages, for the most part, are more than a simple transcription of spoken sounds.

Apple iPhone 16 Is Now Illegal in Indonesia, Ban Leaves Tourists in the Lurch
Recently, a D user remarked that a non-optimized build took a few seconds, but turning on the optimizer caused it to take 35 minutes. I was wondering how this was possible. It turns out his code had a function with 30,000 lines of code in it!

Some things one just doesn't anticipate.

Working on compilers is never dull.
I did Heisig's Remembering The Kanji as my first step on my Japanese learning journey. It helped make the written language feel more accessible, and I took it on as a fun challenge, but in hindsight only learning to read is important and learning to write is mostly a waste of time. Learning to read is vital, but being a word processor idiot is how everyone is living their lives for the most part.
There are a couple of other worthy jokes in the text, BTW.
Not a single serious person I'm aware of has proposed

“just don’t fly” as the only solution to climate change.

Any solution would require multiple strategies in tandem to increase efficiencies, reduce unnecessary energy expenditures, reduce GG emmissions, transition to non FF sources, and reduce existing GG in the atmosphere.

It's a daunting task and one that may be impossible to achieve.
To me, it's always fascinating to think about computing up until maybe the early aughts; that seemes to be the point where there was a sort of compute scarcity; which culminated with the limit of not being able to play more than one video at once on a Windows PC. Further back, you had Steve Jobs seemingly evangelizing from the rooftops about the Mac and, by extension, personal computers being a bicycle of the mind. Back then people had so little to work with, but it seemed like the imagination of solutions were endless.

And here we are, today, with pocket computers whose market was broken by corporate interests, magnitudes more powerful than any $10,000 pc from even 1999, but their intended usage is for 'consumption.' Sure, you can record videos, or take a high quality video, but, for the most part, you can't use them for general compute. You can't setup a database server that would use maybe a cpu core or two of an iphone. The sort of solutions people dreamed of seemed to have been forgotten.

Now we have AI, though, which makes our computers feel limited again. Even with the sophistication of the most bleeding edge flagship GPU from nvidia, you need a massive array to run something like chatGPT, which is still error prone and hallucinates. Can anyone even actually fathom what kind of leaps in techology we'll need to even approach AGI? Will we be any closer to that in 30 years, when people will buy 4090s and H100s for a couple of dollars on ebay for "retro builds" and youtube videos? Or will we enter a sort of dark age induced by the laws of physics, where the sort of progress made in the moores law era of computing becomes a distant memory, and shrinking transistors become an increasing quixotic battle?

I did RTK. I also learned to read around 3k kanji. Turns out it wasn't at all necessary to learn to write that additional 1k Kanji in order to become able to read / distinguish it.

The time is better invested in simply studying how to distinguish visually similar characters. That alone solves the problem directly.

>The only thing here that would be the equivalent would be the value of the silver

Not necessarily. A lot more silver has been mined since the Norman Conquest (for example in the New World, but also in the Old World) which increases its supply. The demand for and utility of silver in general has also changed since then.
I’ve flown it plenty of times. Get to the airport 60min before flight, and you’re out of LAX in less than 30 min.

How early do you need to get to the train station?

Not to mention if you miss your train how quickly can you jump on another train?

I’m not arguing it’s not a nice alternative, but there is a reason why flying is still highly in demand even with high quality rail systems like in Europe.
Back in 1985, when mountain bikes were brand-new and not really established? I have no idea.

These days, if it's serious mountain bikes, they're driving to places with wilderness trails to ride on. If it's road bikes, they might be driving to "rail trails", sections of old railroads that have been converted into long multi-use trails that are popular with cyclists because they're generally flat and straight and go through some interesting scenery.

> And a court should throw it out. If you want X feature then pay for X feature. If somebody sells you Y and tells you it's Y then you shouldn't be able to sue them because you wanted X.

And the court will not - because of the liability of gross negligence cannot be written away. Many states and federal precedence exist on this aspect of release of liability.

> I wouldn't buy that car. However, I'm not sure it's been shown Crowdstrike told them to install the software on all their machines. If they had then sure I don't think the asterisk saves them.

This is the fundamental point of the lawsuit. Delta is claiming gross negligence liability which cannot be written away. Crowdstrike is claiming asterisk. The courts will decide if crowdstrike is liable or crowdstrike is not liable.

If courts decide crowdstrike is liable, crowdstrike will have to pay up and also change business practices. So will other SaaS.

If courts decide crowdstrike is not liable, customers of crowdstrike will account for that by negotiating lower priced contracts or switching providers to someone that is willing to take liability or their business insurance will drop crowdstrike as an acceptable security solution.

Either way, crwd market cap is likely to decline.

The only solution for crwd here is to settle outside the court - by paying up to Delta in hard cash. If I were a betting person, this is what I would bet on - again because liability for gross negligence cannot be waived.
Linear (travel, not resistance) pots are easier to clean, so no.
Wikipedia has an explainer called "Verifiability, Not Truth". It was quite popular to reference this during disputes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability,_not_t...

It was deprecated to "essay" status a while ago, because it was quite controversial, but not because it was inaccurate.

Wikipedia is not involved in the business of publishing Truth. Wikipedia's articles are based on Verifiability, which means that the assertions can be backed up and traced to the reliable sources that are provided alongside them.

If there is a dichotomy or controversy about the "truth" of a fact, well, then, Wikipedia documents that controversy, according to the reliably-published information about it.

Wikipedia projects work within the languages they're published in, for better or worse. That means, a Vietnamese wiki will generally be run by and for people who speak Vietnamese, and will generally rely on sources published in that language. So if there is a consensus about a fact or assertion in Vietnamese-language sources, and it's agreed by people who speak Vietnamese, then it wouldn't be easy to break through that consensus, even if you had a sincerely held belief.

Which brings us to another Wikipedian axiom: WP:RGW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing#...

People who edit Wikipedia shouldn't be concerned about "Righting Great Wrongs" through editing or discussion. If there is injustice in the world, it will likely be reflected in Wikipedia, despite striving to be a collegial utopia, it is not usually possible to change the world from activism there, and activist editors are eventually blocked and banned for being non-neutral.

I wouldn't say most, maybe a little under half, and usually these are pretty minor effects that don't bother the person very much, and for the most part seem within normal subjective variance, just perhaps jarring because of the change. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some extreme cases, but it's kind of alarmist to view it as ultra scary compared to even the effects on your adenosine cascade from persistent caffeine use. I haven't personally had any of these despite having tried a number of psychadelics, and I get the mindset that anything that could be permanent sounds like a pretty serious risk, but as harms go this is quite negligible in practice.

I’m honestly a bit surprised if that’s the first time you’ve seen something like that.

I’ve been working on compilers 30 years, primarily on optimizers (although some frontend work as well). Learned C from Borland C and C++ from…Zortech C++ 1.0, so thank you for that!

Within a few years of working on compilers I came across my first examples of 50k+ line functions. These were often (but not always) the result of source code generators that were translating some kind of problem description to code. It taught me very early on that you really need to focus on scalability and compile time in compilers, whether it’s the amount of code within a function, or across functions (for IPO / LTO).

And yes, working on compilers is never dull. 25 years ago I thought we’d end up in a monolithic world with x86, C++, and Java being the focus of all work. Instead, there’s been an absolute explosion of programming models, languages, and architectures, as well as entirely new problem spaces like graph compilers for ML.
> The largest instance(s) can still moderate maliciously, while the rest are insignificant.

I've always thought this is an inherent problem for all decentralized solutions. If one node or server or whatever it gets called grows big enough, it stops being decentralized.

If one (or even a few) federated server in a decentralized system becomes big enough to be the one that everyone uses, them it's just centralization with extra steps and a lot of moralization and handwaving.

Do decentralized/federated systems in general have a way of preventing this from happening?
You're ignoring how non-dense everything actually is in those places. Americans no longer live in walkable cities and towns like in the early 20th century before cars became popular. After WWII, with the rise of the automobile, the inner cities emptied out and everyone who could afford to moved out to the suburbs. So now, even in a "city" in America (unless it's Manhattan), you absolutely need a car to get anywhere, because nothing is walkable.

It's not like 1905 when you could just walk from your home in Smalltown USA to the local train station, buy a ticket, and get a ride to the nearest city, and get out and walk from that station to interesting places.

Any train trip, even if you look only at the eastern states, is likely to require a car ride on one or both ends to get to/from your source/destination to/from the station. If you have to drive an hour just to get to a train station, and another hour to get from the destination station to your final station, it's probably faster and easier and much cheaper to just drive the whole way. Don't forget dealing with parking, car rental, etc.; you'd probably have to take taxis, and those are quite expensive.

The fundamental problem here is density. America doesn't have it any more.
