What part of the food chain is foundational on mosquitos? These are hypotheticals not rooted in any concrete argument.

I realize this is a dumb starting point, but ...
Cows don't eat mosquitos, Feed corn is not pollinated by mosquitos, Orange groves do not require mosquitos. What, specifically, are we afraid of?
Oh hey, I know one of the authors on this paper. I've been meaning to ask him at NeurIPS how this prospective configuration algorithm works for latent variable models.
Voters need to make it clear that it does benefit the lawmaking class. Votes are more powerful than money in politics - but only if you use them. If you fall for one party is all good you have lost power.

The hard part is getting enough other voters to care. If it is just you money is more important. If it is you and many others though you beat money.

Cultural values play a big part in it, as well as just parenting in line with what they learned from their own parents was the correct way to parent.

I personally value people living authentically and having high levels of subjective wellbeing. Hence my opinion on the matter. However, my opinion is just that. Not everyone will agree that grades are not that important.
IIRC, early copyright (say, during Mozart's time) required royalties to only be paid out for the first performance of a work.

And that is why some of these composers were so prolific - to keep up their payday, they had to crank out music instead of collecting on royalties of performances they were directly involved with.

Unthinkable today, really.
Yeah but he's also WAAAAYYYYY more likely to be targeted than any of us, I would argue.
> The other side is those people who do not find those kind of bugs annoying

Anecdotally, I find these are the same people who work less effectively and efficiently. At my company, I know people who mainly use Notepad++ for editing code when VSCode (or another IDE) is readily available, who use print over debuggers, who don't get frustrated by runtime errors that could be caught in IDEs, and who opt out of using coding assistants. I happen to know as a matter of fact that the person who codes in Notepad++ frequently has trivial errors, and generally these people don't push code out as fast they could.

And they don't care to change the way they work even after seeing the alternatives and knowing they are objectively more efficient.

I am not their managers, so I say to myself "this is none of my business" and move on. I do feel pity for them.
Dead internet theory is coming true
I have a hard time reading any article with AI generated images these days. Especially of robots. Please no.
Now I wonder could you use LinkedIn posts to train AI to identify content like that and use it as negative filter, well for absolutely anything. Any content that matches it should probably be flagged and ignored...
Do TVs not have composite input anymore? I haven’t bought a new one in forever.
I wonder if that means that lower sex drive does not necessarily mean lower testosterone?

This is not a purely theoretical question. I spend half the year traveling the world in ways that let me talk a lot with local people, and I am astounded by the number of young men in developing countries who venerate Andrew Tate and are frantic about physical access to women. As a somewhat older man, I can’t share their desperation and I wish I could communicate to them “Just wank it and then get back to doing something productive with your time”, yet I fear being accused of being a “low-T man”, which in that social-media world is an object of contempt.
That could be an interesting site when it's done but I couldn't see where you factor in the price of electricity for running bare metal in a 24/7 climate-controlled environment, which I would assume expect is the biggest expense by far.
I had read about this person previously in researching the Japanese shrine consolidation efforts.

While it's impact on removing ancient buildings and protected forrests was significant (even though it was terminated before completion), it's effects on how Japanese people understand shinto were massive, and continue to this day.

The entire hierarchy of deities was invented by this effort, but is viewed today as shinto's founding principles.

Minakata Kumagusu resisted these efforts, and otherwise was able to infuse some concepts of natural preservation into the emerging modern Japanese state.

I would say that very few individuals, who are not born to wealth, achieve his level of accomplishment in the sense of having an impact on high level decisions of government.
> That’s about the most niche computing task I can think of.

You must run a lot of niche computers in that case, because every one of them has an OS, mostly specialised to their use case, written by people like me. I'd wager there are more OS's our there than paint programs. Every computing device you have runs one - watches, irrigation controllers, power box meters, high speed USB cables, modems, disk drives, USB sticks, washing machines, car ECU's (did you know your average car has over 100 computers, echo with their own OS)? Hell, even a modern super scalar CPU under the hood has a horde of smaller CPU's you aren't aware of doing their house keeping.

OS's are a bit like dirt. They are the foundation everything else stands on, but most people dismiss dirt as the thing that makes other things dirty, just as you are dismissing OS's. Just as there are almost unimaginable number of types of dirt, some that grow trees, so that can support dams, there are a huge number of OS's out there. Which means there almost certainly are far more OS programmers out there that write OS's than there are programmers who write paint programs, but it appears the paint programmers are the rock stars and we get to toil away in the dark.

You'll get no argument from me about the quality of Apple's hardware. It's stellar. The M series in particular is so good people are trying to put them to uses Apple didn't have in mind. But so far without much success, because unlike Intel's N100 it isn't designed to be a general purpose computing platform that can be put to any use you cam imagine. Instead Apple wants it's products to be locked into their ecosystem, and only put to uses they can imagine.
> Writing software without types lets you go at full speed. Full speed towards the cliff.

Isn't it strange that back when Python (or Ruby) didn't even have type hints (not type checkers, type hints!), it would easily outperform pretty much every heavily typed language?

Somehow when types weren't an option we weren't going towards the cliff, but now that they are, not using them means jumping off a cliff? Something doesn't add up.
Plus one-ing this - I think the external monitor may be the kicker to keeping the mic active. This drives me up the wall when Google Meet decides to just default to the closed Macbook next to me instead of my already connected Air Pods when joining work meetings.
Give me ethernet or give me death. I have a couple MikroTik RBcAPGi-5acD2nD-US cAPs connected to a couple CRS312 10gb switches connected via a XS+DA0001 cable to my RB5009UG router, which is connected to a 2.5gb modem. I don't put a lot of stress on my wifi, since I don't think I've ever seen a WiFi network I'm truly happy with outside a Google office, but these have served me well enough. Mikrotik has a newer v6 ax AP and they're easy to deploy once you figure out how. That might help you, since the solution to your problem might simply be having more.

Best thing about Mikrotik though is they've got this incredible management program called WinBox64.exe which is a 2.2mb single-file dependency-free executable that needn't be installed. It's super lightweight. Like they coded it without any frameworks. It feels like being back in the circa 2000 golden age of Windows, and the GUI is so rich and powerful and dense that it makes your desktop look like a hacker movie to normies who happen to be looking over your shoulder.
Yes. Bought a recent Linksys to replace an extender, which was running OpenWRT. The new Linksys doesn't support OpenWRT (bought it in a hurry), and apparently Linksys doesn't support SMB[0] if the device is extending another network, which is BS since we were able to with the OpenWRT device.

These kind of articles are like denial of service attacks on human attention. If I read just a few of those, I would be confused for the rest of the day.
The disincentives are huge though. Hiring a bad employee is a very expensive problem and hard to get rid of.
Yes, per core power consumption or better performance per Watt is usually more relevant than the total power consumption. And 1 high-core CPU is usually better than the same number of cores on multiple CPUs. (That is unless you are trying to maximize memory bandwidth per Watt.)

What I wanted to get at is that the pure core count can be misleading if you care about power consumption. If you don't and just look at performance, the current CPU generations are monsters. But if you care about performance/Watt, the improvement isn't that large. The Zen1 CPU I was talking about had a TDP of 180 W. So you get 6x as many cores, but the power consumption increases by 2.7x.
What about the algorithm changing over time to favor longer posts and content creators on the platform adapting to the change? I suspect you’d see the same pattern with the average length of popular non-music YouTube videos over time.
Lack of access to sex (aka women aren't interested) tends to be an identity level failure to men, not just a temporarily feeling of horniness that goes away after a wank. Else the problem would be solved half a dozen times a day for these young men.

Though, like the PUA forums of the early 2000s, I don't think Andrew Tate is going to be much help. But that's a separate issue.
it's a filter for finding people willing to be performative
Partly because I can, because unless you go absolutely wild with excess it’s the RAM equivalent of fuck-you money. (Note it’s unified though, so in some situations a desktop with 48GB main RAM and 16GB VRAM can be comparable, and from what I know about today’s desktops that could be a good machine but not a lavish one.) Partly because I need to do exploratory statistics to say ten- or twenty-gigabyte I/O traces, and being able to chuck the whole thing into Pandas and not agonize over cleaning up every temporary is just comfy.
Wow you’re not kidding!
The first job of my father, after finishing his university studies, three quarters of century ago, when there were only a handful of electronic computers in the entire world, was as a "computer" at an astronomical observatory.

With the revenue secured by that job, he decided that he can afford to marry my mother.
The US has about 24K soldiers in Korea. That's not that many. Presumably they stand at attention every so often anyways. So photograph them all standing at attention and match the camo.
New form of easily upgradeable RAM memory promising thinner laptop and low power

End circumcising first and we can talk about other types of bodily autonomy movements.
One can build lots of things out of inductors and capacitors. I bet it’s possible and even fairly straightforward to built a little network to allow high frequencies to pass from output to the two line inputs with low impedance but that has extremely high impedance at 50 and 60 Hz (and maybe even at the first few harmonics). It would add components, cost and volume.

I bet this could be done at the output side, too. And a company like Apple that values the customer experience could try to build a filter on their laptop DC inputs to reduce touch currents experienced by the user when connected to a leaky power supply. Of course, the modern design where the charging port is part of a metallic case might make this rather challenging…

(Seriously, IMO all the recent MacBook Air case designs are obnoxious. They have the touch current issue and they’re nasty feeling and sharp-edged.)
I wonder how quickly it turns on/off as per Gruber’s worry - if you just record a single frame would it even be visible if looking right at it?
Hm. I was anticipating AI slob to take over, but this actually has me thinking. If I was to write a long post for LinkedIn (which I would never do), I would probably ask ChatGPT to proofread this. Never actively checked this, but I already have a sort-of mental filter for LinkedIn low-effort posts. For the posts I actually look at, I'm not sure I would mind if ChatGPT had a part in proofreading this. Wonder what the specificity of the AI detector is for detecting AI-written post vis-a-vis AI-edited posts.

This comment is all organic, no AI ingredients :)
I'm not signed in. Maybe that's why.

Right now I opened the home page, paged down through the top 20 or so bloots or whatever they're called, and got:

- An MSNBC video about fighting back against conservatives

- A post celebrating that a "right-wing lawsuit" to review voter rolls failed

- That BrooklynDad dude complaining about Trump supporters

- A post comparing conservatives to the Empire from Star Wars

- A post chastising White people for having opinions on some controversy involving Black celebrities

A lot of whiny us-against-them rhetoric, but it's not toxic because they are conservatives. In between those, there are cat pictures, some shower thoughts type posts, landscape photos, and comics. This was a marked improvement over the page when I opened it yesterday.
images on articles were used to call out an important piece or to fill space in printed pages and make the paginator (webmaster equivalent of layout machine operator pre-desktop publishing days) life easier to fill pages with text columns.

using images on the header of online articles is literary a cargo cult people do just because they saw it on magazines growing up.

don't even get me started on the use of "eyes" (the larger text repeating a part of the article out of place) on digital media...

Obviously there is something you can do about it though: casually ignore copyright law because the government is acting illegitimately, just like people do with drugs. If you're interested in, say, ROMs, it doesn't take much work to find a community (say, a subreddit) that's interested in that topic and will tell you where to find what you want. Or if you're too lazy for that, you can search for retro games on amazon and find consoles with 10s of thousands of them preloaded.

The quiet part that citizens can say out loud is that for individuals, copyright basically runs on the honor system. If you don't think the situation is fair, you can just ignore those restrictions.

The sheer amount of human and animal* suffering caused by mosquito-borne diseases speaks strongly in favor of mosquito eradication. Over half a million people died of malaria in 2022 alone, over three quarters of them children - even if there are ecological risks, they need to be weighed against allowing that suffering to continue.

The whey isolate is also a super processed food product. I think the key is to ask "why was this processed?" Whey isolate is processed to make it easier to get quick digesting protein, Doritos are processed to make them more addictive, more shelf stable, and cheaper to produce; only one of these products will contribute to a tendency to overeat.
> Cameras and microphones and write enable must have physical switches, not software ones. When will people learn?

I feel like people were pleading for this when people were getting ratted and began taping over their cameras, and the tiny number of laptop manufacturers just ignored what would be a cheap easy change. Eventually, people just accepted that it must be impossible to install a switch. I couldn't ever think of any motivation for a lack of a switch other than government pressure, so I've always assumed that the cameras and microphones are backdoored.

I don't get how "some tape" became the standard solution for these thousand dollar devices.
My experience with Reddit is that it still mostly depends on the subreddit. Big subreddits like Ask Reddit or Politics or Technology? Probably a lot of bots and shills, with an equally large amount of low quality content from people that didn't bother to read the article or anything related to it.

Smaller niche ones for games and series? Eh, it's definitely worse in terms of quality, though my experience is that it still seems mostly human driven. The last subreddit I used was the one for the Mario & Luigi series for example, and it seems pretty legit as far as posts go.

But yeah, my opinion is that the quality has certainly taken a nosedive overall, and the amount of posts per day has fallen in many places, but the quality of more niche subreddits is still decent enough compared to majority of social media sites.
"If A (higher T) then not B (higher sex drive)" does not imply "If B then not A".

But agree, these men have built a culture where they believe that's true. I think that they'd be better served by not obsessing so hard. Sex will happen, and it's easiest to get when you are chill, safe, approachable.

And yet, these dudes feel the need to do toxic shit to themselves and others. It's a tragedy.
Well, getting T back to the normal range restores libido, but fluctuations inside this range don't seem to correlate with libido.

Is using AI cheating when it's part of the job now. Is not using AI signalling inexperience in the llm department.
I recall having to implement A* to search a nxn character grid in my AI course a few years ago. It took me close to a full day to wrap my head around the concepts, get used to python (we usually worked in C++), and actually implement the algorithm. Nowadays, an LLM can spit out a working implementation in seconds.

I think that's a big part of the issue with tests like Hackerrank - LLMs have been trained on a lot of the DSAs that those questions try to hit. Whereas, if you ask an LLM for a truly novel solution, it's much more likely to spit out a garbled mess. For example, earlier today, Google's search AI gave me this nonsense example of how to fix a dangling participle:

> To correct a dangling participle, you can revise the sentence to give the dangling modifier a noun to modify. For example, you can change the sentence "Walking through the kitchen, the smoke alarm was going off" to "Speeding down the hallway, he saw the door come into view".

LLMs have effectively made it impossible to test candidates for crystalline intelligence (e.g. remembering how to write specific DSAs quickly) remotely. Maybe the best solution would be to measure fluid intelligence instead, or front-load on personality/culture assessments and only rigorously assess coding ability in-person towards the end of the interview cycle.
