Well even in Japan it's all urban sprawl. Tokyo is the largest metropolis in the world, so if the US follows suit, it would similarly grow outward not upward. Solving zoning law issues seems to be extremely difficult as NIMBYs explicitly vote against solutions as it harms them directly. I understand why they vote that way, but we would need top down solutions which are hard to come by politically.
Why the fuck is there so much indecision?

If you want to minimize learning time impose safeguards around simplicity (fewer) and be extremely draconian about it. This is extremely upsetting to many developers because it eliminates all their favorite code styles and expressiveness.

A while ago I wrote about my experience using Windows for work after 10 years of being a Linux-only user [1]. One of the positive notes I had was:

Unfortunately, they screwed it up with Windows 11. And apparently they are doubling down on this.

The first one helps with physical attacks on the wire. Not a common issue that people worry about, since there are so many boxes in between that are easier to compromise that it's rarely a significant security increase if you know the wire is perfectly secure.

The second is just wrong. It is well known and proven that it's impossible to send information via quantum entanglement. It's true that there are some interpretations of QM where the wave function of the entangled pair collapses instantly the moment one side of the pair is measured. But there is no version of QM where manipulating one side of the pair has any effect whatsoever on the other, except for measurement collapsing the quantum superposition into a random classical state.

The best classical intuition for how entanglement works is that two entangled particles are like two gloves from a pair. If you put them in boxes and separate them, when someone opens a box and finds the left glove, they instantly find out that the other person has the right glove. The difference with quantum entanglement is simply that the universe only decides which glove is which when you open the box, before that they are both in a mix of the states. This makes statistical properties measurably different if you send many pairs of gloves and look at how many times certain things match.

But there really is nothing that you can do with a pair of entangled particles that you couldn't do with the pair of gloves.

I should note for completeness that, because of the different statistical properties, there is a way to send slightly more information using entangled pairs than you can with classical particles. I believe you can send 1.5 bits of information per particle, but I don't remember the exact number. This means that a quantum internet could have higher throughput at the same transmit power, which would have some relevance for very long distance wireless communication, such as communicating with a space probe.
Versioning sometimes becomes a problem itself.

You can't always allow support for V1 of some API to continue because it's just "wrong" in the light of your work. It can turn out that your "micro" architecture just didn't really work because factors X or Y tie certain groups of services together so much that a change to one forces changes to the others.

So redesign right? Well, the contractors are all gone and your small team can barely manage the bugs and minor features, let alone redesigns which tend to force huge changes in the entire system because it wasn't thought out that well to start with. i.e. the mountain to climb to fix a little problem is as high as fixing all the problems.

So you might have to update everything that references your changing API to use the new version....but your company has tons of repos and you don't know which ones reference your API, and they're owned by other teams and there's no central set of tests which have been run against the combination of the head of all these repos to ensure that they do in fact work together at exactly the state the combination is at when you are working.

All deployments are a guess - which repos do you need to deploy for change X? Some other team deploys their repo without realising that it now depends on a new version of yours. Oh dear. We should have created a versioning mechanism of some kind and made their deployment depend on ours......but no time to do that kind of thing and could you get other people to agree to use it and how does it work with your CI system and.........well....you just muddle on, force yourself to remember the details, make mistakes etc etc. Busy work.

IMO monorepos make a good place to put a set of whole-system end to end tests that everyone can run before they merge. That's going to sort out many conflicts before they turn into a bug hunt.

Why "blame"? Isn't it perfectly reasonable for people to take more interest in a country that's supplied them with interesting cultural exports than one that hasn't?

Only to the extent that you want to do business, diplomacy, or travel with China. More people are interested in Japan.
I’m not sure how unusual it is internationally but KYC laws in Australia will generally require 100 points of identification, usually satisfied by showing your passport and drivers license. Other options include recent utility bills, your birth certificate, medicare card etc.

No, this does not work. You can both read the same random data (which can be used for generating encryption keys), but not transfer any data.

Here N should be interpreted as the number itself, not the number of digits (in any base). So the actual complexity is exponential in terms of the number of digits and in fact it will take about 10^(10^8) times the age of universe to build the string alone.

That is true but it is exactly what I think the problem is.

Women do want careers as good as those of men. There are huge efforts made to equalise numbers of women in various careers (especially high paying ones and in senior positions).

I do not see how this can work without men taking on more traditionally female roles.

IMO we should make it more acceptable for men to be stay at home dads, just as we have made it acceptable (and entirely normal) for women to do a lot of traditionally male jobs.
Enforcing bicycle helmets is a good idea. It's about protecting your health and reducing the burden on the public health system.

I've fallen off a bike before and my helmet definitely saved me from a serious head injury. Would I have worn one if it was not compulsory and drilled into me as a child that's what you do when you ride one? Maybe not.

It saved me that day and I expect it saves many people in this country every day too.

Of course it changes it. The market cap you see is based on up to date trade clearing prices.

I wouldn't call anyone stupid, but I will say this. I live in the south surrounded by evangelicals, and they talk about Trump like he's a religious figure. I've tried to have rational conversations with family members and it's like arguing about the existence of God. In their eyes Trump can literally do no wrong. Maybe that's not you, but some of your defenses here feel like that.
As far as In understand it (not very much) you can listen in on the transmitted keys, but the interaction can be statistically(!) measured and suspicious bits can me omitted (the wiki is quite comprehensible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_key_distribution?wprov...).
There are different protocols, some more and some less quantum and most rely on classical, encrypted channels and trusted nodes in addition to the quantum channels.

One thing is for sure: you can’t send information faster than light with this or any other kind of quantum communication as two entangled qubits are basically two RNGs that are correlated. You’d just get noise without an additional classical, not FTL, data link (please, somebody with expertise: help!)
StyleBot to remove/fix bad styles on sites. I know uBO can add style one-liners, but prefer full control.

For example, I set my own youtube column count, remove ellipses from titles and make the cards less badly designed in general.

There’s around 30 sites in my list.

Bitwarden for passwords.

DarkReader for text contrast. I keep it on even for dark mode sites, because most dark mode sites get done by/for wannabe hackers and are not much easier on eyes than their light versions. DarkReader creates its own colorscheme based on a site’s theme and allows you to control global brightness, contrast and saturation of this conversion.

I think it should be built into every browser (and platform) and in-site dark modes should be deprecated.
This rocks. I wonder how much it would end up costing for random idevice repair shops to make this upgrade to apple devices, especially if they can scavenge the existing NAND chips.

Also wondering how and if apple could detect this and break it in a software update. (or hardware update, by packing more things close to the NANDs so there's no space for this)
Thanks, that is probably the one. Here is a link to the paper itself on arXiv:

It's around 1 year worth of aid. Since the beginning of the invasion (February 2022) Ukraine has received approximately €400 billion in aid.

The silver lining is that the war costs much more to Russia - and that economic damage is accelerating as long as the sanctions are up. Russian interest rates being over 20% is a sign that things are starting to turn dire.

Whatever booming economy they're reporting, is a economy cannibalizing itself.

So, if Ukraine has the means to keep fighting, that will weaken Russia financially.

If Ukrainian sovereignty mattered...Ukrainian men would still be volunteering to protect it. They aren't. They have 60,000 formal criminal cases against deserters alone. Western news media is reporting that 50-70%% of conscripts get killed/wounded before their first rotation....and of the survivors half of them abandon their posts after being on the receiving end of Russian artillery. The press gangs have to raid concerts and nightclubs and drag out the patrons to keep the front line supplied with fresh meat. Dudes aren't patriotically defending Ukrainian sovereignty anymore because they know staring down Russian artillery and air strikes indefinitely is a death sentence.

Americans and Western Europeans cheer for Ukrainian sovereignty, but seem disinterested in Ukrainian lives. I think the bulk of Ukrainian men would rather trade the Blue&Yellow for the Russian tri-color, and keep their balls/legs/arms attached.

You actually have to do versioning properly, though. Most people I've worked with do not understand semantic versioning and basically don't understand how to ship new features in a non-breaking way. That or they're too lazy to do it. Either way, dependencies get broken constantly.

That's the real point of a monorepo: you can treat the whole thing as internal, break it to your heart's content. You only need to make sure you don't break the user-facing part, for some subjective value of break.
NPM Security: Lessons from the Lottie-Player Attack and Path Forward
Last week's Lottie-Player compromise showed how NPM's lack of mandatory security controls continues to make supply chain attacks effective. While investigating popular JavaScript libraries, I found that most don't leverage NPM's provenance attestation, proper version pinning, or SRI checks.

The concerning patterns I found:

- Major packages (react, lodash, express) don't use NPM provenance
- Widespread use of @latest tags in production
- Missing SRI checks in CDN deployments
- No server-side enforcement of attestation
- Client-side tooling lacks verification options

How so? Only because we say so now. TO some extent I think we identify issues as social liberal because they are what the left in the US favours.

There are plenty of examples of let wing parties and governments being quite the opposite - take a look at gay rights in communist China or the toing and froing in the Soviet Union. The same with many traditional socialists around the world.
I agree, but a more deeper question in my post was when did the old technology evolve into what we call a GPU today?

I don't want to rewrite history either.

It's partially telling that you write "2D/3D accelerators" which means that was a different class of thing - if they were a full GPU then you would have called them as such.

My point being - what defines what a GPU is? Apparently there were things called GTEs, accelerators, and so on. Some feature or invention crossed the line for us to label them as GPUs.

Just like over the last ~10 years we have seen GPUs losing graphical features and picking up NN/AI/LLM stuff to the point we now call these TPUs.

Will the future have confusion over the first ~AI CHIP~? Some conversation like

"Oh technically that was a GPU but it has also incorporated tensor processing so by todays standards it's an AI CHIP."

> not having these visions of grandure about us as some protectors of the universe

> is all rationalization on your part

It's not rationalisation. But as all moral statements they are subjective, in the same way as the fact that you don't want your spouse or kids to die doesn't rest on some objective hard facts about the universe.

And meaning can't exist without creatures like us, so we are absolutely free to bestow it to whatever we want.

> I don't then use this fun thought experiments to justify not recycling or denying human impacting climate change if that was what put you off.

Japanese commuter trains don't have a ton of seats; there is some bench seating but that's it. So it's possible you might be standing for much of it, which is significantly less comfortable to do activities with.

Game devs are notoriously bad at integrating outside of the game loop. There's also the issue that there's over 15 years of games that support achievements and most of them will never be updated to a new API. The Steamworks API has been reverse engineered for a long time by pirates. People really don't realize how vendor locked in games are on Steam. It's convenient, but don't think for a second that you own the games.
But you can still open multiple windows?
Indeed. Until we know exactly how a human brain works, we should be cautious about describing humans as intelligent. It could just be a simulation of intelligence, for all we know.
Check out PyKEEN [0] and go wild. I like to train a bunch of random models and "overfit" them to the extreme (in my mind overfitting them is the point for this task, you want dense, compressed knowledge). Resize the input and output embeddings of an existing pretrained (but small) LLM (input only necessary if you're adding extra metadata on input, but make sure you untie input/output weights). You can add a linear layer extension to the transformer blocks, pass it up as some sort of residual, etc. - honestly just find a way to shove it in, detach the KGE from the computation graph and add something learnable between it and wherever you're connecting it - like just a couple linear layers and a ReLU. The output side is more important, you can have some indicator logit(s) to determine whether to "read" from the detached graph or sample the outputs of the LLM. Or just always do both and interpret it.

(like tinyllama or smaller, or just use whatever karpathy repo is most fun at the moment and train some gpt2 equivalent)

Depends on how you look at games as a form of entertainment.

If you see them as long term investments that you intend to give hundreds or thousands of hours of your time, then yes I agree with your stance.

But if you see games more like an expendable medium that gives you a couple of hours of entertainment before they grow stale, like watching a movie, then it's a different thing.

Also short-sighted because they tend to assume that the age cohort making the claim have more stake in the future, are all of one mind, are thinking long term themselves, or are generally going to do things better. None of these things hold up to much scrutiny AFAICT.
