I'm a new user of Tailwind, but there are 5 points where I believe Tailwind is wayyy more efficient than CSS:

- layout: flex and grid are great solutions, Tailwind just makes them extremely easy to use. Flex and grid are barely unusable without first defining at least 4 or 5 helper classes, more likely a dozen. Tailwind just provides them and makes them easy to use. I never could remember the flex properties, I learned the Tailwind classes I needed in like half a day of practice

- mobile first design: Tailwind strongly encourages mobile first design if you want to do responsive design. It scared me at first because media queries are hard to manipulate in CSS. I've never made a responsive design page faster than with Tailwind, it's insane how easy it is

- dark mode: as simple as `dark:xxx`. The default and dark properties being close together is awesome. As with responsive design, Tailwind prefixes make it so easy to do what's painful in plain CSS

- defaults: having sane, overridable defaults for everything (sizes, colors, whatever) makes the code infinitely more consistent. You barely even need to think about real values, just how it looks, and you have less risk of defining slightly different classes for no reason

- no cascading: CSS cascading makes it hard to reason about styles, and easy to break unrelated components by mistake. It's solved with CSS modules (or even with BEM), but Tailwind just eliminates the problem

CSS has the solutions, it just doesn't make them easy to use.
I also have long felt that anyone who has the ability to read and write at a high-school level in their primary language also has the mental capacity to learn to do math at a high school level. As a pedagogical challenge, I think the main stumbling block for most people with math is not the complexity of it but rather the dryness of how its taught. The rules of language are at least as complex, but many more people learn language at a high-school level than math. There are lots of reasons for that, most obviously language is used more in people's every day lives.

This isn’t exactly true. Fish ladders and weirs shouldn’t be grouped together like this. Many hatcheries have a weir salmon cannot cross and a ladder as the alternative path the fish take by feeling the flow of water across the ladder and going upstream. The ladders lead to hatcheries where the fish reproduce. And new tiny fish are efficiently raised in protected tanks and later released to go back downstream. In other words, the weir and ladder are a combination to make the hatchery work, and not substitutes for each other. Also ladders can work very well. There are many badly designed ones but the good ones basically let every fish move upstream.
Yes, yes, and you got it. Largely it’s DNA that controls development of neurons/muscles/etc. that mediate nursing, walking, and so on.

On selective pressures: human babies that aren’t born with the ability to nurse, or foals born without the ability to walk—because their in-utero development didn’t allow it—historically don’t survive, and thus don’t reproduce.
... but I'd say it's pretty obvious (both in introspection and in observation of others) that people don't naturally use formal logic for anything ...

Yes. But some place too much confidence in how "rational" their intuition is, including some of the most intelligent minds the world has seen.

Specifically, many operate as if their intuition (that they treat as completely rational) has some kind of supernatural/magic/divine origin, including many who (imo) SHOULD know better.

While I think (like you do) that this intuition has a lot in common with LLM's and other NN architectures than pure logic, or even the scientific method.
This article describes some challenges and pitfalls of communicating estimates but doesn’t offer much actual advice.

In my experience if you’re talking about risk distributions or hand wringing over the difference between an estimate and a commitment, you’re already on the defensive and not doing your reputation any favors.

The better approach is to zoom out and understand the business or product goals, including constraints felt by your stakeholders, and communicate in their terms. Speak confidently to what you can do, with appropriate footnotes for limitations and risks. Even in a low trust environment you don’t succeed by focusing on the negative (though you might want to keep a paper trail), you succeed by showing what you can achieve.
BNNs were an attractive choice in scenarios where the data is expensive to collect, like actual physical experiments. But boosting and other tree-based regression methods give you similar performance with a more straightforward framework for limited tabular data.
No, that would break the rule that one cannot move into check

Human babies physically cannot walk. It’s not merely a knowledge check.

Pretrained brain modules aren’t the most surprising thing. Humans have plenty of pre trained behaviors, some of which kick in a while after birth.
And I've gotten a lot of upvotes for explaining why it's annoying. Perhaps these are not the measures of truth you are looking for.
Then why couldn't they make that work for this damn? I'm assuming there must be other motivating factors for removing the damn.

My study is modest: just a spare bedroom that serves as a home office, sanctuary, and musical practice room... and with a few cheap bookshelves to turn it into a "library" as well.

So you're saying that they built a power plant, but didn't build enough infrastructure to transmit the power from that plant to the main power grid?

That does seem to fit in with the idea that this was merely a greenwashing project, and not an actual effort.

I know it's going to sound like a bunch of hooey, but information really is the most intrinsic element of all aspects of this universe, especially when it comes to life. The life force is a thing that is interrelated with our physical bodies, but is not the physical body. It's just like the zen concept of "Not 2, not 1". Our minds have the same relationship with our brains. They're not separate, they're not the same; they're interrelated.

That we can't "see" the other side of the connection with our science is due to our science being built with our physical world's constituents (matter & energy), thus those other dimensions are immeasurable with our science's tools. Rupert Sheldrake speaks of this when he says that the genetic code's protein construction genes do not and can not account for the resulting organism's shape. That coordinated construction requires a separate guiding force. That interrelationship is similar to the "memory" that creatures such as salmon have, which is intrinsic to their entire being, not just their physical body, which is only half of our being's totality.
How does that make sense? Then you'd have to update your will every time you changed a password. Wouldn't it be better to keep the list somewhere safe and accessible that is easier to update, then mention that in the will?
It's already been established that a sense of smell is vital in Salmon's ability to return to the headwaters of their birth. I'm not aware of any "genetic" component, it is simply that Salmon remember the smell of where they were born and most salmon try and return. The feat is amazing and there are many "instinctual" behaviors involved, but no evidence that there is a genetic heritage from a specific headwaters is important in returning to that headwaters.

This "genetic memory" talk is just uninformed people jumping to conclusions and spreading speculation as fact.
It turns out our word for "surface statistics" is "world model".
Most of the Klamath dams were pretty old and not all that useful for other things like electricity generation or flood control, IIRC.

Yuck, I was always instinctively put off by [[, now I finally have some arguments to justify it.

IMO safe shell scripting is kind of dead. I can do it if I really have to, but too many external programs have tricky "convenience" features like interpreting flags after positional parameters, etc.
That part is not really known. Various things have been suspected like memory of magnetic fields, salinity, temperature patterns, odors, etc. Basically they may be memorizing those on the way out and end up coming back to the same shoreline. From there it’s following upstream water pressure (which is how salmon ladders induce them to follow the ladder).

“Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway.” V. Nabokov, [0]

I really recommend Nabokov's full lecture on Dostoyevsky [1], plus obvs all the of the lectures in the series are brilliant.

This one works! Hey-hey-hey.
Why are you bringing up Godot again? Are you worried Godot will be left behind or unable to compete with Unity? Are you working on Godot? Why are you focused exclusively on games? What are the ‘false promises’ of WebGPU, and why do you think it won’t deliver compute shaders to every browser that supports it, like it says? I’m just curious, I get the sense there’s an underlying issue you feel strongly about and a set of assumptions that you’re not stating here. I don’t have a lot invested in whether WebGPU is adopted by everyone, and I’m trying to understand if and why you do. Seems like compute shaders in the browser will have a lot of interest considering the wild success of CUDA. Are you against people having access to compute shaders in the browser?
It depends entirely on your use-case(s). The cost and profiteering of new MBPs is so absurd and drifting away from classic SJ innovation and value, that its borderline immoral to $upport it. I do approve of their fig leaf potentially SSD swappable and repairable Mac mini M4 (and maybe Studio at some point), albeit the power switch is completely wrong for wall & rack mounting and brackets; I hope OWC will release some classic upgrades to mini and Studio rather than external sleds that are slower and bulkier. The trap TC fell into is that chasing design alone with maximum profit extraction is no way to make cool products that are also useful and endure, adding goodwill to form a brand culture rather than the highest possible stock valuation for a time.
Plain HTTP and passing an API key as a URL query parameter? Yikes!
Interesting. This consistently crashes my chrome browser whenever I get to the first glowing white checkpoint. But it's not like any crash I've seen before, the page reverts to a google search result I was on this morning. And the whole page is flickering white. That tab was closed long ago, but it seems something in this gets back to that state in memory, maybe a buffer overflow somewhere or something?

While on the google search result, the music from the game is still playing. If I open a new tab, the title of this tab changes from the google title to the netlify one, and vice versa if I change back.

Yep, this is specifically a bashism (by way of being a kshism). However, it's worth noting that the second variant (`type -v`) will work in `[` and `test`.

(It's also a still a bashism, but IME people don't realize how little of `type` is actually POSIX.)

My server can't handle all the traffic, guess it's an opportunity to show that the game doesn't need a central authority to keep working.

I created another relayer and ssh node on 85.214.130.204, you can either ssh to this machine `ssh 85.214.130.204 -p 3788` (but the relaying won't work as it tries to connect to the old server), or start your local client with the flag `rebels -i 85.214.130.204` to specify the alternative relayer node ip address.
This describes my study perfectly. It truly is a sanctuary. For the most part I avoid using it for work, so that it can serve as a complete escape from that part of my life.
Aha. That's the trick, then. Noted
PiHole is not usually exposed to the Internet, that's why it's less likely to be attacked at all. But I wouldn't call their nginx+php spaghetti stack "secure" or any less vulnerable.
"More than enough power"

There's no such thing anymore.

Dams are more important than they were in decades past. Existing dams are by far the easiest and cheapest source of on-demand peaking power. 10GW that you're not doing anything with, can provide load balancing for 20GW-50GW of wind and solar somewhere else. Perhaps half the country away and in a different grid entirely through the use of HVDC transmission lines.

That's not to say that the ecological consideration is nonexistent. It's not that difficult to build dams that make small sacrifices in cost and throughput to permit fish navigation. We just didn't care about that _at all_ a hundred years ago.

>Producing "content" for a living is just the natural evolution of the social justice grift, where "$peaking truth to power" becomes just "$peaking", to anyone, on anything, in a way that yields societal or institutional development but of a kind that occurs indifferent to its effects on mankind.

You do know that "content" can be anything from a glorified marketer for some designer brands, to a tech blog talking about computer architecture, to an indie movie director trying to break into the industry, to Khan academy helping to fill gaps or offer alternative education right?

Throwing all "content" as some need to make a political statement on Twitter really shows the generational difference in how people use the word. It's way too general to make any sweeping generalization that I'll buy into. You need to specify to make a concrete point here on what "content" you don't respect.

The rest of what you talk about really has nothing to do with why I replied. I don't really care what "content" t you don't like. Life is about accepting that not all things Will appeal to you, nor want to appeal to you. I'd just rather you not conflate stuff like 3blue1brown with whatever feminist you have a bone to pick with. Both are "content creators".
Nordstream is also special because its destruction was not aligned with Russia interests. It limited Europe capacity to import Russian gaz lifting one of the reason which might have made the EU reluctent to fully support Ukraine (and causing a major economic crisis in Europe as a side effect).

Between this and the coyness of most European countries governments at the time to comment on investigation, it's not too far fetch to think that Ukraine might be involved.

>astly, straight men, I’ll give you a secret women choose to go to school because we are taught at a young age that if getting an education is the #1 way to not be dependent on anyone. A man can easily walk out on you so it’s a poor decision to not get or finish an education.

Nobody says you must be a tradwife. You should seek your dreams in life. If that means you want a degree and career, definitely go for it. That's your choice to make. If you give this choice to anyone else, you will be screwed.

Generic stereotypes of men shouldnt be a major factor in making decisions in your life. This is a you decision.

But there's consequences here that you dont seem to acknowledge and you're going to struggle greatly in the dating scene.

It's still shocking to me that women saw men working very hard jobs, coming home absolutely destroyed and worn out and women wanted this? lol?

> It’s ridiculously hard to find the optimal combination of prompts and examples and fine-tuning, etc. It’s a very large space, there are no easy abstractions to allow you to search through the space, LLMs are unpredictable and fragile, and these experiments are slow and expensive.

Regardless of the actual experiment outcome, I think this is a super valuable insight. "Should we provide legal moves?" section is an excellent case study of this- extremely prudent idea actually degrades model performance, and quite badly. It's like that crocodile game where you're pushing teeth until it clamps onto your hand.

Europe is not at war with another nuclear power, no. Ukraine is at war and Europe is giving support to Ukraine as that's aligned with its interest. This support is neither unconditional nor total and doesn't include going to war with Russia.
Until you ask it to add number above 100 and it falls apart. That is the point here. You found a distinction. If you can't find one then you're arguing semantics. People who say LLMs can't reason are yet to find a distinction that doesn't also disqualify a bunch of humans.
Don't think that analogy works unless you could write a script that automatically removes incorrect medical advice, because then you would indeed have an LLM-with-a-script that was an expert doctor (which you can do for illegal chess move, but obviously not for evaluating medical advice)

2: Mobile replaced the PC as the main way people use the internet and do their day-to-day computing. The consumer Internet runs on smartphone apps, not PCs. In 2013 a lot of people didn't understand that that was happening, so it was worth saying.
It's not completely brain development, look up the stepping reflex in human babies. Humans are just as neurally pre-wired to walk as foals are on day one but we're also born long before we're anywhere near strong enough to do it, it takes at least another 6 months of physical growth and strengthening out of the womb before babies even try.
> Human babies physically cannot walk. It’s not merely a knowledge check.

They physically cannot walk, but they also don't know how to. We know this because they need to practice and acquire skill. If they are deprived of opportunity to learn but their body continues to mature, their mature body does not give them the mature skill.
