Some people say higher education is a privilege, but a few times during college while grinding out difficult classes it felt more like a huge burden.

Being part of a highly educated elite group like that has some huge benefits, but they have also shackled themselves to an insanely specialized and highly difficult niche. I can't imagine the stress they are under and the potential for despair when dedicating years to something with so much uncertainty.
It seems that they moved it since to a bigger meta issue and it's actively being worked on https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/30593. There's wider interest since it is being used in the experimental Verso browser now. There's also ongoing effort from the Qt side: https://www.kdab.com/embedding-servo-in-qt/
Only time will vindicate this belief. If you said the same thing two years ago you would have been shouted down and labeled as a “bad person”.

It now is getting to the point where this topic can be discussed without it immediately devolving to attacks.

I agree with your take, humans are also very poor at making long term tradeoffs. Just look at the environment and global warming and what we are doing as a species to stop that.
You also have to consider how covid lockdowns further split class divides. Since we didn’t produce as many things for 3 years there are less things to go around which causes the price of things to go up, hence inflation. Those who belong to unions and have higher leverage (tech workers, MBAs, etc) can push for higher wages to keep up for inflation but those who do not have that leverage are left behind and become poorer.

Im a little bit worried about the reverberations of covid which are causing global instability, and possibly war. A second order effect of lockdowns and inflation is that it makes any government which was in power during lockdowns very unpopular, this has and will continue to lead to more dramatic leadership changes across the board which further reduces stability.
I use Safari with 1Blocker and I get 100% of what OP describes.
The "Big Bang" theory (BBT) is equally as absurd as the Boltzmann brain conjecture, and recent evidence from the James Webb Space Telescope provides even more evidence against the BBT, by showing there are too many mature universes near the theorized "beginning of time" and also the Hubble expansion is off by 8%.

I think there's more and more evidence that we're instead in a 3D reality that's the manifold (surface) of an Event Horizon. We're neither inside nor outside a black hole, but on the boundary of one.

All Black Holes form from matter "falling in" rather than stuff "exploding out", and that's how our universe formed (as a Black Hole, one dimension higher up than normal 2D black holes we see). The general rule is that any N-dimensional reality is on an Event Horizon and will have contained/embedded within it (N-1)-dimensional other black holes (it's a hierarchy).

The JWT also just showed our universe is expanding at a rate that's also inconsistent with our current Big Bang theory, and is off by a whopping 8%. I think the reason we see the expansion is not because of Dark Energy (which likely doesn't even exist), but is because the surface of all Event Horizons only expands over time, or in the case of a 3D (excluding time dimension) Universe we see more and more of volumetric space forming, because it's a volumetric expansion for us, rather than the "area" (2d) expansion on conventional 2D Black Holes.

I also think the surface normal vector (perpendicular) vector, at any point on such a manifold (Event Horizon) will be experienced as a "time" dimension. That's why time is a "special" variable. Thus time only moves forward whenever the event horizon "grows" (due to matter falling in from outside it)
It's philosophically gauche but I often like to criticize arguments based on “what if they were right?”...

So for example the ontological argument putatively argues for the existence of a Perfect Being but it would seem to work even if you restricted the domain somewhat to something smaller than “all beings”, and so presumably also argues for the existence of a perfect Toaster.

Similarly here, the claim is that in a BB universe, even though countlessly more brains see the exact same stuff as you, there is something about the Bayesian update factor that you all have where you all still should conclude you are not the Boltzmann Brains and the evidence is never enough.

How do you look at that description, and not conclude that according to that argument, Bayesian reasoning is just strictly wrong? Like everyone (more or less) is “it” and everyone (more or less) says “it’s not me!” and everyone (more or less) is wrong and here is our philosopher dusting their hands saying ‘yep! sounds good, solved the problem!’
In that case it doesn't seem it's really the "owner" of that hardware..
Also worth noting that along with Operation Paperclip, where the US recruited Nazis to bootstrap their space program, the US also recruited Japanese war criminals to continue their experimentation in torture and chemical and biological warfare, which led to (among other things) MKULTRA.
Especially if you have time to plan and act accordingly. But then when it is time to improvise, the lack of experience with high dose of adrenaline usually will play against most hackers/nerds.
TL;DR: This is a huge verdict against Automattic. To get an injunction like this is a really high bar - you have to prove that you have a winnable case AND that you/the public is actively being harmed right now and it can't wait until trial.

The injunction covers almost everything relevant - returning ACF, taking down the website tracker, removing the checkbox, etc. Basically return everything as it was before Matt became a supervillain the day of Wordcamp.
> Just like how we still don't have mass driverless cars

Mass? No. Not yet.

However, Waymo is doing a pretty good job at this point. I'm no longer "It's indefinitely 15 years in the future" about self-driving cars.

My interactions with Waymo cars leads me to believe that they are probably better than the "average" driver, nowadays. They almost certainly have passed the "average teenager" bar long ago.
Your pricing is too confusing. Either price it based on number of requests like ScrapingBee does, or base it entirely on bandwidth. Instead your pricing is based on both bandwidth and “minutes” (which is also hard to predict when some sites can load slower than others)

2nd, the pricing also seems way way below what ScrapingBee offers.

You charge $100 for 60K credits. So assuming 18 credits for 1 page (3 MB per page) that allows me to crawl 3333 web pages. $250 would allow me to crawl under 10k pages

In comparison it costs $249 for 3 million credits in ScrapingBee which enable me to crawl 100,000 webpages (with JS and proxies enabled)

Am i missing something obvious here?
Waiting time increases with accessibility and aging population. Most developed countries with universal healthcare amd the hospitals are full with elderly. The developing countries are often much better due to younger population. Places like Turkey are incredibly accessible and cheap compared to the develped countries.

I mean, if you need to apply 10+ tons of TNT-equivalent to a target, it's a heck of a lot easier to carry. (Also literally, SADM)
I don't believe a lot of this is required.

OS level security? So, "apt update && apt upgrade", then? I mean, what else are you doing, writing patches for the kernel? Checking every line of code that runs? Are you aware of how effective SELinux and systemd containers are? Just a simple firewall at the OS level? Maybe even just using Tailscale (or the open source Headscale) to introduce zero trust access capabilities.

There's a Terraform provider for Proxmox, which is an excellent hypervisor. Making a template takes less than an hour with configuration.

You do need an Ops person for sure, but an entire _team_?
How you select immigrants would dramatically affect these results, so it makes sense to exclude them. A lot of East and South Asian 2nd gen achievement is due to them being the children of highly skilled immigrants - they’d thrive in almost any setup. If USA imported only PhDs from Latin America, their kids would be, on average, stellar achievers. For this reason, it makes sense to eliminate them as a group, in the interest of simplicity.
Those book bans don't indeed do anything for science, but it is very telling of the general stance of the republican party on education. Most of them don't even believe in climate change, how are we supposed to trust them with anything scientific?

Look, I believe this culture war nonsense pushed by the Republicans is just another talking point for them. They really only care about destroying what remains of public education.

Teachers are severly underpaid, their job is treated with scorn, and as a result the competent people that would have become teachers simply don't. This, to me, is the real cause of it all. Not because some black students received grants, not because the "woke mind virus" has infected the system, not because "trans ideology" is being pushed onto children, or whatever other fear-mongering bullsh*t right wingers spew online.

Republicans have been pushing for austerity and privatization of the school system since basically forever. Today's students pay the price.
yes, GDPR is technology agnostic

many of it's predecessor sadly are not and are still around

leading to absurdities of there being _both_ a GDPR dialog for tracking and a "cookie dialog" (which depending of the law might also apply to local storage and co) to get permission to "store" something on you computer. Like a hint to not track you :facepalm:

(And yes legally from GDPR storing a same origin cookie only accessible to the browser and you to remember the user doesn't want to be tracked is legal _iff_ you don't use it for tracking users which don't want to be tracked server side. It's one of the many examples where "what legally is good enough" and "what security wise is good enough" can diverge quite a bit.)
Ah of course, makes total sense. Thanks for answering!
I love that this addresses that probabilistic confirmation is fundamentally intransitive in Bayesian epistemology, and bumps in probability don’t necessarily propagate through multiple probabilistic links (Evidence -> BBU and BBU -> BB doesn’t mean Evidence -> BB).

Really well put-together and careful main line of argumentation IMO

Small indie providers should absolutely be able to sell their MongoDB / Redis / XYZ as a service, but they should absolutely also be required by the license to contribute back their modifications to the software.

Like I said, I understand the complaints about the line-drawing issues with these licenses. I don't understand the viewpoint that the current state of OSS, where hosting != distribution, is acceptable.
No, you are completely misunderstanding what GWASes show. The previous estimate of heritability of things like intelligence are entirely unaffected by GWAS results. That existing GWASes explain small percentage of variance is the problem with the GWASes, not with the preexisting, giant, extremely well replicated heritability literature.

Assume for the sake of argument that intelligence is 100% heritable, and is a result of additive heritability of thousands of variants. Pre-GWAS tools would in that case find something like 0.9 heritability (due to attenuation because of measurement error). Now imagine you run a GWAS that includes only 1% of SNPs of the entire genome, and your intelligence proxy is “has any university diploma”, instead of more accurate measures like eg IQ. In that scenario, you would never expect the GWASes to get even close to actual heritability.

This is where we are today: our genome coverage is relatively low (especially around rare variants), while the metrics we have are crude. Of course we are not even close to heritability estimates! If someone told you that low explained variance of GWASes is consequential for classical heritability estimates, they were either confused themselves, or deliberately tried to misinform you (extremely common problem in the field, with a long tradition from people like Lewontin and Gould back in the day, to people like Gusev today).

> Again: that's almost certainly an SES effect.

You just repeat it this without in any way substantiating it, despite me being very clear that the effect does not disappear even when you match by SES.
Interesting that use of Objective-C/C++ is still climbing at a seemingly unchanging, linear rate.

Look, Swift's a great language and all, but it's become grossly sophisticated and complex to the point of being a bloated pig; I wonder if people at Apple are still using Objective-C purely because editing it in XCode is still faster than Swift with respect to autocomplete and compilation speeds.
People are messing with it, but I really like the idea. I put my real idea there. It's one I really like but I just don't have the time or expertise to execute it. I really hope someone "steals" it.
You can add it to your CV. Other than that, there is no benefit.
To the extent that they are useful, they will be easier to validate.

For example: "Calculate whether we'll have El Niño this year"

The validation will not need to be run on a machine, but on the real world. Either we have el niño or we don't.
The second paragraph:

> Those additional layers will add new reliability issues a number of incremental reliability challenges, but the NAND flash industry has been steadily increasing the stack height for nearly a decade. In 2015, Toshiba announced the first 16-die stack using through-silicon vias. That enabled higher bandwidth, reduced latency, and faster I/O, while also helping to pave the way for stacking of other types of memory and logic chips.

Stacking multiple dies (with or without TSVs) is an entirely different kind of stacking from building multiple layers of memory cells on a single die, which is what 3D NAND is all about. Samsung was the first to deliver 3D NAND, and IIRC Toshiba was tied for fourth to reach that milestone.
> Receiving a gift does not form a social contract that entitles you to future gifts.

Certainly, but if you exchange gifts with someone every christmas, have been doing so for a decade, and they suddenly stop giving you one, or give you an unpolished one where they previously cleaned it to a shine, you are perfectly within your rights to be a bit miffed at that, and withold your own.

People can say the new license is reasonable (and by all reasonable measures it probably is) but that’s not how it feels, and that’s the important part.
A userspace process can be capable of pretty destructive things, and they're all on the menu in C, especially without Valgrind.

I don't think it's in bad faith. A lot of people still believe that they have to pay one of AdaCore/Baylibre/Embecosm/Red Hat/SUSE/Wind River if you want to use GCC commercially, to cover GPL-related risk.

> Wikimedia foundation could audit the admins who defend each other on a tit or tat basis and attack newbies.

The challenge here is that "the community" really doesn't want the Foundation doing that. The interview mentions the last major flare-up along those lines: FramGate, though it amusingly got mis-transcribed as "Forum Gate".

The WMF handed out a 1 year ban from English Wikipedia to an admin called Fram, who this interview describes as "gruff, not friendly, not the most empathetic", for unspecified harassment. There was a great big "community" revolt over it, and the WMF wound up backing down by letting the English Wikipedia arbitration committee undo the ban.

The Foundation has a lot of practical power, in that it runs the servers. On a pure technical level, it can do absolutely anything and nobody can stop it. But it worries a lot about driving away the admin structures that keep Wikipedia working. Wikipedia would melt down very quickly under its own weight if the entire admin infrastructure was legitimately pissed off and stopped contributing.

(I keep putting "community" in quotes because in wiki parlance it gets used to refer specifically to the set of people who involve themselves in Wikipedia governance, rather than the broader community of people who use and edit Wikipedia. There's a lot of power assigned to a fairly small group of people who invest their time in on-wiki politics. It's kinda like local school boards in that way.)
English speakers don't call anyone by their own name. "Japan" is another good example here.

Interestingly, the Japanese term for other countries/languages are frequently much closer than the English versions. So while English speakers call the Deutsch "German" and Deutschland "Germany", Japanese speakers call them "doitsu", which is just as close as you can transliterate "Deutsch" to the syllables allowed in Japanese. It's not a rule though: the proper term for the USA is "beikoku", which translates to "country of rice". (The colloquial term for USA however is "amerika", which is exactly what Americans call themselves colloquially.)
What? You don't agree, or are you angry at me for reminding you?
Any architecture advice on making receiving payments from small-to-medium businesses streamlined? Struggling on how to go from an employee trying the free demo to their company paying that employee’s subscription… like no PO request nonsense, is there a “master” account you bill and they dole out the seats?
It's about quantum mechanics and the fact that "empty space" is not really empty. Particles do pop into existence (from nothing), according to QM, so there's a non-zero probability for any "pattern" to pop into existence. Sort of like if you have an infinite number of coin flips then at some place and time you'll land on heads a million times in a row, no matter how unlikely. And for any million-bit sequence you're guaranteed to hit it too. So a human "brain" is just a pattern that's likewise guaranteed to be "encountered".

A similar concept is how the first replicator RNA/DNA got created as the beginning of life. If RNA can exist in large numbers of random sequences, then a sequence that can replicate itself only has to "happen" once and then life is started and will never slow down but will grow in complexity, as long as the environment can support it.
We so have pricing https://konfig.xyz/pricing (perhaps I need to make it more visible).
There is some upfront cost in the modeling, but we don’t really make / want to make money there. So everything essentially goes to the 3d party. We’ve partnered with a great company in the Ukraine but you can always also do it yourself

It's a failure because law makers haven't made it clear ignoring it is illegal.

You probably can build a case around DNT clearly communicating that a user doesn't want to be tracked and as such it should be treated like an if the user manually opt out of all tracking.

But as long as lawmakers or court don't pin it down legally to make it a clear cut case instead of some gray area thing with a lot of wiggle room.

There is very little you can do against modern tracking tech without crippling browser functionality, as such solutions have to be law based foremost and supplemented with technology and actually painful penalties if companies try to sneak by this.
In terms of physical simulations, surely you can limit the size of the system to fit your exact complexity needs?

For example, isolate two molecules in a vacuum and predict its future state. Now make it 5, now 100, etc...
Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
> Here, Mullenweg’s “statement that he had the right to disable WPEngine’s account access and to make changes to the ACF plugin for the sake of public safety[,]” see Opp. at 27-28, is belied by the declarations of WPEngine’s executives stating that the claimed vulnerability was minor [...]

@photomatt literally screwed himself over by talking about his actions here, when everyone was screaming at him to shut the fuck up. Will he start listening now?

In short, what this injunction does is a) remove the checkbox, b) return ACF to WPEngine, c) restore access to website, d) no bond required.

You might double check that the way you number the grades is the same as the way the parent comment numbers them. For example, as I understand it, in the US most kindergarteners are 5 years old and most first graders are 6, while in NZ most first graders are 5 years old and most second graders are six. So to convert from US grades to NZ you add one because in the US kindergarten isn't given a number.

The US has a highly regional system, but as I understand it pre-algebra is taught starting around sixth grade (~11 year olds), which may line up a little closer to your expectations.

The words are "голубой" и "синий". Of course, we understand, that they are closer to each other than to, say, red, but it doesn't change the fact that they are different colours.

> The whole point here is this is about fundamental color concepts

No, the whole point is that no such thing exists. We divide visible light into arbitrary buckets with very blury borders between them and historically these buckets have been very different between different cultures. Nowadays they tend to converge because of globalisation, but they just converge to some common understanding, not "the fundamental" one.

That's not even remotely what I'm saying.

I'm saying if a company modifies open source software and distributes it, they should be required to distribute the modified source as well. I'm further claiming that providing a hosted service is a form of distribution.

> “free for everyone… except them - they make too much money.”

Free for everyone, and if you make changes to improve it, and let others use the software you changed, you contribute those changes back. That's the basic principle of OSS, no?
