Debanking to me doesn't just mean "no bank account". It starts with closing of accounts without being given a reason and the constant fear that any new account will be closed as well. For businesses this has even bigger implications.

You a right: There is base account meant for refugees, homeless people, indebted people... This is nothing more than a safety net for when you are at the bottom of society. You can't do business with it etc... If someone where to be forced to register such an account because all banks closed the normal accounts without giving a reason, I'd still consider it debanked.

For what? The insurance company has to put some guardrails on unnecessary treatments or else the rates for everyone go up even further.

„Using a machine-learning technique that outperforms conventional hypernuclei search techniques, the ALICE researchers looked at the data for signals of hyperhydrogen-4, hyperhelium-4 and their antimatter partners.“

Which ML technique are they using? Could it be XGBoost, because I heard CERN is using it?

I completely agree. It is amazing how powerful Xidel is, and also easy to use with command line oneliners - for most of my task there is no need to start writing a script or programming anything.

But it would be possible with the underlying library of Xidel, internettools [1]. Fun fact: it is implemented in Free Pascal, a language for which I have great respect and which is unfortunately underrated in 2024 compared to the newer kids on the block (Rust, Go, Zig, ...).

This.

People seems to think that because something is end to end encrypted it is secure. They don't seem to grasp that the traffic and communication that is possibly dumped/recorded now in encrypted form could be used against them decades later.

Thanks for the paper!

For other readers: To expand on this, the paper in the parent comment is “Low-density lipoproteins cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 1. Evidence from genetic, epidemiologic, and clinical studies. A consensus statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel” (2017) – https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5837225/

It refers to a second then-upcoming publication, which I believe is this one:

”Low-density lipoproteins cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: pathophysiological, genetic, and therapeutic insights: a consensus statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society Consensus Panel” (2020) – https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/41/24/2313/573522...

The difference between the titles: The 2017 paper discusses genetic, epidemiologic, and clinical studies and the 2020 one looks at pathophysiological, genetic, and therapeutic insights.

(Personally, I’m in the pathophysiology-and-molecular-biology-or-GTFO camp. And these papers are good to have.)

Thanks again! Just thought I’d share this second paper as I’d gone to look for it anyway.
Creating Rhythms by Hollos and Hollos. I am not much of a fan of it but my expectations were high, the person who recommended it to me made it out to be exactly what I was looking for and it was not at all what I was looking for. It primarily focuses on things of Euclidean Rhythms ilk, simple to execute but can be quite effective. Despite not being what I was after I think I got my $10 worth.
Surely it would depend on what the simulation actually was?

If you imagine simulations we can build ourselves, such as video games, it's not hard to add something at the edge of the map that users are prevented from reaching and have the code send "this thing is massive and powerful" data to the players. Who's to say that the simulation isn't actually focussed on earth, and everything including the sun is actually just a fiction designed to fool us?
So shoehorning something into the language is a shorter path to success. Yeah that checks out.

Most folks with mental illnesses live among us, not in mental institutions. If on a scale 1-10 you have something like bipolar on 1 or 2, you can sort of function with some meds.

Nah, the lack of hardware is a real problem in developing countries, and is something that OLPC and Raspberry Pi are well suited to solve. But hardware is the easy part -- the much harder part of the problem to solve is the lack of human capital in computing education, and that's the part of the equation OLPC missed.

For example, they sent hundreds of thousands of laptops to Uruguay, but they hardly got used for education because the teachers just simply didn't know how to use them or integrate them into the curriculum. But Uruguay continued the OLPC model under the Ceibal project, and it's only just now, ~15 years later, after teacher training regarding technology is far more widespread and teachers have far more experience in utilizing computers in the classroom, that it's starting to show effectiveness. And the OLPC model is considered a success in Uruguay, but it took over a decade of persistence to work itself out.

So this is actually something that RPi is tackling head on -- the Raspberry Pi Foundation is actually working hard to develop curriculums meant to address challenges in developing countries, like poor internet connectivity (which means a curriculum designed to be self-sufficient), and then also putting a lot of effort into training educators. This is before they even try sending Raspberry Pi's out, and largely is designed around using the already limited computing devices they have (not RPis) because a lot of those governments are unwilling to invest in computer education (because they have bigger problems to worry about and consider things like every student having a computer to be a luxury when nutrition is a more pressing matter on the quality of education).

Frankly, even the idea of "most people there use x86 PCs or laptops from the used market or rescued from e-waste imports and repaired because they're much cheaper" is a fair bit of a luxury and lacking understanding of the challenges of computing education in developing countries once you leave the cities and start looking at rural populations. In Mexico, nationally, 45% of households have a computer and 56% have an internet connection. Once you go to rural areas, that's ~20%. And that's before you consider socioeconomic status and the disparity in access to computers and internet. Some stats put the lower-income Mexicans at 5% computer ownership nationally.

In Rural Mexico, it's normal for a computer lab of 30-50 computers to serve a school of 500-1,000 students, or for schools to have NO computers and instead send students to nearby schools occasionally to utilize their larger computer labs for learning computer skills, and that's the only computer access they realistically have. This is really a great use case for RPi's, but like I said -- the hardware is the easy part to solve. The fact of the matter is if you sent a crate of RPi's or any other computer to these schools, they'd sit in the boxes for years because they don't have the infrastructure or the human resources to start using them. And that's actually the part that RPi Foundation is focusing on first.
I imagine a person who stays at the crime scene after shooting someone several times is in much higher danger of being shot himself than if he flees and is captured later.
This is the legislation’s fault though. As long as insurance payments have to balance with insurance payouts, insurance companies need to strictly control payouts. An insurance company with no checks on treatments will have premiums significantly higher than the ones that do and ultimately won’t get picked.

Exactly! Imagine if FOSS weren't a social norm in the space of programming tooling. You'd probably see something like what's gone on in the music industry, with Microsoft, Apple, and Google buying up exclusive rights to nearly every language and toolchain, then selling subscriptions to be allowed to use them (subject to T&C), and they'd be able to do this only because they could wield legally-granted power punish anyone distributing their purchased toolchains. The world would be significantly worse.

> What about Rust, like in this case?

I didn't explain myself well enough then. In the specific case of Rust, why doesn't Rust already have a way to tell tools what the API is, and why aren't there already tools which convert that API to bindings for other languages?

Ideally, "import rust_ffi; color_lib = rust_ffi.load_library('csscolorparser')"

We already saw from pcwelder's other responses that this AI generation required human involvement ("me asking it to return a 4 tuple instead of a list").

We can also see style questions, like how is_valid is a static method on the ColorParser class, rather than a module-level function as I would have done, so the API intrinsically cannot be automated.

Which I knew from my own experience in developing Python bindings to C libraries. If you want it to feel like Python, rather than C, you will have to put in the work. (In my case, to add class structure, to hook into Python's garbage collection, to match the iterator protocol, and so on.)
Go one step further. Why does that happen?
That panoramic view of the olive garden is magnificent. I didn't know olive trees are being cultivated on such huge plots of land, covering fields and hills as far as the eyes can see.

Trees seem unsuitable for indoor farming, since they need tons of soil and sunlight. Also taking years to grow and mature. Indoor farming in general seem unsuitable for Spain, where there is an abundance of land and sun.

Searching on this topic I learned that green houses are popular in some regions like Almería for growing fruits and vegetables. I guess green houses are something between indoor and outdoor farming.

> Spain is currently the world’s third largest tomato exporter, and up to 60% of those tomatoes come from the province of Almería.

> The region has around 30,000 hectares of land under cultivation, the majority of which is under plastic. It is also the most rapidly desertifying region in the country.

Thanks! Meh, too bad. microSD is really bad for desktop usecases. Especially mixed reads/writes. Because they are optimised for large contiguous files. There's some that are more optimised for this but they age quicker which is also a problem: All the "endurance" cards optimise for large files also as they are made for CCTV usecases.

I really disagree with this point for that reason:

It doesn't take AI to fool people. They have been propagandised and lied to on a major scale since mass media.

They also lie themselves: they cannot detect overt bias or reflect on themselves and be aware of their hidden motives, resentments and wishful thinking. Including me and you.

Most people hold important beliefs about the world that are comically inaccurate.

AI changes absolutely nothing how many true or false beliefs the average Joe holds.
In any case AI is much faster than asking a question on Stackoverflow and waiting for a reply. I agree that finding answers to existing questions on Stackoverflow takes about the same time as asking AI.
Looks dope though. But what impressed me recently was some crypto-scam video, featuring "a clip" from Lex Fridman Podcast where Elon Musk "reveals" his new crypto or whatever (sadly, the one I saw is currently deleted). It didn't really look good, they were talking with weird pauses and intonations, and as awkward these 2 normally are, here they were even more unnatural. There was so much audacity to it I laughed out loud.

But what I was thinking while enjoying the show was: people wouldn't do that, if it didn't work.

This is the point. There is no such thing as "completely fools commenters". I mean, it didn't fool you, apparently. (But don't be sad, I bet you were fooled by something else: you just don't know it, obviously.) But some of it always fools somebody.

I really liked how Thiel mentioned on some podcast that ChatGPT successfully passed Turing test, which was implicitly assumed to be "the holy grail of AI", and nobody really noticed. This is completely true. We don't really think about ChatGPT, as something that passes Turing test, we think how fucking stupid useless thing mislead you with some mistake in calculations you decided to delegate to it. But realistically, if it doesn't it's only because it is specifically trained to try to avoid passing it.
Probably, but the bitter lesson still applies.
I guess I'm confused that the projections in TFA are largely in line with the projections in the BBC article from 5 years ago. I'd expect something to have changed in that time (whether for better/worse), and it makes me suspicious that TFA is recycling 5 year old conclusions rather than presenting novel data
> if I wanted a procedually generated world that just exist for no reason in particular, I'd walk outside..

I don't know why, but this comment reminded me of an experience I had a few years ago, when I started exercising outdoors. I rarely went outside prior to that and stayed in a relatively dark room.

One day I looked at the sky and thought: Wow, these clouds do look like the ones in video games, thinking of Horizon and Assassins Creed. This just pertaining the comment about the "procedurally generated" outside world.

While looking at the assets I also felt a bit of sadness. I was looking at the "Two-story brick house with red roof and fence." and was then thinking about how it reminded me of the three.js animation/keyframes example [0].

I asked myself if we will lose something very valuable. The three.js example was hand-crafted by persons, a real intention behind every choice made, while with Trellis it's just "poof, there it is", an amalgamation of all work found in the internet and possibly in games.

Some value will be lost through AI, but this makes handcrafted content even more valuable. The question is, if we will really value this enough for it to be sustainable for the artists.

The entire copyright thing needs to stop. It is preventing great music from being made or at least released publicly.

I understand that some musicians get nice royalties and this is their full-time thing, but most of us get close to nothing from streaming and barely break even from record sales.

But according to another comment in the thread YT confirms they removed the fake account AND _three_ real accounts associated with the guy.

Begs the question of why did they remove those? What content was in the real accounts to grant removal?
In one of the BBC articles when talking about the ghost gun in his possession, they have added "possibly 3d printed". This is the only place I have seen this mentioned and it's really annoying because there is already enough rhetoric about 3d printed guns and various groups trying to regulate 3d printers, the last thing we need is something as big as this for them to attach to!
Yeah but functions are available to all people. I mean, it's an abstract mathematical concept. When you find a 30% discount sticker on an item in a store and compute in your head what the resulting price is going to be, you're arguably applying a function.

Also, to say that this makes functions available to all people, and to immediately follow that with text such as "The reduction rules act on trees of higher degree, until they are binary" suggests that well, actually, this is only for PL gurus, not all people (and that's totally fine IMO, just don't use the word "democratizing")
> they don’t make (practically) any money on CD sales

No, not any more, because Napster and the other IP-theft networks that followed in its wake destroyed that revenue model, both for the musicians and the record companies. But before that, many popular musicians made very large fortunes purely from record sales. So much so that some of them, most famously the Beatles, were able to give up live performance altogether.

Also, I would suggest that what draws typical audiences to live performance is not the hope of hearing the lead guitarist bust out hot new variations on his solos. What they enjoy is the communal experience and the thrill of seeing famous people in the flesh.
Ooops. Sorry.

I meant the Z Flip 6. Not the fold. The folds have always had fully supported DeX.

The Flips did not have a DP-capable USB-C port until the Flip 5, and still did not support DeX due to thermals. But the Flip 6 has it with a developer option, but only the "new" DeX.

Sorry for the confusion on my side. I thought of the Flip as the OP mentioned the Motorola Razr which is positioned against that, not the Fold.

The way AI goes, it will actually raise the cost of valid services: cost of bullshit and spam is going down, which will raise the cost of valid, non-ai powered services to raise above the noise or be able to filter it out. There is only negative value to what "open"-ai is adding to the world right now. By playing the long-term AI safety card, of the hypothetical scenario some AI supposedly getting conscious in the future, they try to pass themselves clean and innocent in all the damage they cause to society.

I just hope the online, social media space gets enshitified to an such a degree that it stops playing a major role in society, though sadly that is not how things usually seem to work.

This is why on greenfield projects I start with an end to end test and do red-green-refactor with it. This lets me defer many architectural decisions (those decisions are usually of a better quality when done during the refactor step) while locking in behavior up front.

Call it what you like. Some people would be insistent that this is TDD. Some would say it isnt because it's not test driven design. Some say it is TFD. I dont really care what it's called, for me it doesnt make sense to develop serious non-spike/non-POC code any other way.
