You don't need to ask people to rely on your promises. Just make sure that you are not able to do a rug pull, and explain that. It's generally pretty easy (just don't require a CLA) but you can make it clearer. For example, clarify that you don't own everyone's copyright by writing a copyright notice which includes all of the project's contributors.

I agree with you. "Chain of thought" is not reasoning, just like LSD trip isn't.

I think we lack a good formal definition of what (fuzzy) reasoning is. Without it, we will always have some kind of unexplained hallucinations.

I also believe AGI could be implemented as a model that can train models for specific tasks completely autonomously. But that would kill the cash cow, so OpenAI etc. are not interested in developing it.
Why did they choose Hypothalamus? I vaguely remember being taught it controlled temperature regulation.
For QM it can be shown that there are no hidden variables, at least no local ones [1]. Quantum randomness really cannot be modeled by a TM. You need a random oracle.

You lose a head at your school, you lose funding for that head. Some heads are more expensive to educate, like special education students, but the state gives you the same amount for each head. So as a school, you might want to keep the cheaper to educate heads and get rid of the more expensive to educate heads.

I'd say the conservatives in AZ are transitioning AZ to ESAs over charters because it lets them fund religious education more easily and with less oversight, does away with the equal access fiction behind charters, and is a way to mess with budgets.

The fact that this comment is gray says everything that you need to know about this entire comment thread. A tiny slice of people that know what they're talking about and a giant stack of people drunk on dunning-krueger-fueled overconfidence in their understanding of art, on philosophical, practical, and professional levels thinking they've got the authoritative word because it's just so dang loud in the echo chamber. The tendency for technical people to think they can outmaneuver subject matter experts on their own terf with a few a priori thought experiments has always annoyed the hell out of me, but I can confidently say there has never been a more frustrating time to be both a professional artist and software developer.

All social media accounts are owned by the company and they can and do shutdown people every second of everyday. This is the least surprising.

Instagram just shutdown the account of the suspected ceo killer. That person didn't break any social media rules (didn't post copyright or tell someone off or spam marketplace) but instagram has the right.

I don't see anyone shocked.

There is a strong push in many districts to delay algebra until high school, since many students are ready for it much earlier but would get an advantage over students who aren’t ready for it. But ya, we are short changing our students while China mostly isn’t (at least in urban schools).
What loophole was being abused that caused Redis the company to pull the proverbial rug?

The "big evil corporation" that usually gets referenced is AWS. One of the core comitters to the Redis project when it was open source, was paid to do so, by AWS, and continues to be paid to do so, on the open source fork, ValKey.

It's fine to make an argument about "take it and give nothing back" when comparing the potential differences of permissive vs copyleft licenses. I likely wouldn't agree with you about which is ultimately a better choice, but I think it's fine to make that argument there.

But this isn't a hypothetical. It's an actual situation, where a permissively licensed project had significant outside contributions... and still people are screaming about "the evil mega corp"... who is now even more involved in maintaining a permissively licensed fork of said software.

I'm far from an AWS fan. I avoid it whenever possible, and I've made good money migrating customers off of AWS' overpriced services, but I've yet to see a single example of them doing anything that fulfils the "evil mega corp" shoe, w.r.t Redis.
I would need something more than a link to an opinion piece and a thumbtack and yarn on pinboard, yes.

I have not seen any evidence that this policy, loosely defined, has spread in any considerable way nationally.
Perhaps because it's old news and a failed model which companies have now started rolling back (see ElasticSearch)?

Thing is, this sentence could equally be applied to the big cloud free riders.

Why should anyone, business or volunteer, write software that benefits FAANGs that don't pay their fair share?
Ask HN: What Ever Happened to Hacktivism?
In light of recent events it is clear that some part of American society does recognize the great injustice being done by the corporations and some people seem to support vigilante bringing justice by any means possible, even straight up murder, which is kind of inefficient - they will always find a new CEO. So this inevitably begs the question of what ever happened with hacktivism as a whole? That used to be a thing 10 - 15 years back when I was more impressionable person and it seemed to me like it could bring the change to status quo. These days you can hardly hear anymore about any targeted attacks on greedy corporations with goal to release information to bring them down. It sure looks like most of the hackers have sold out to those corporations for profit or even for free doing bug bounty programs, ignoring the injustice being done by those very same corporations. So what happened to hacktivism? How did it fizzle out after anonymous, lulzsec almost completely?
2013 was a bad year for h1n1 or whatever it was. It killed my sister while she was vacationing back east. I think it was aggressive but it was quite cold that winter and that may have completely screwed with their data/interpretation at that time. For instance, it snowed 5 times and stuck in Central Louisiana that winter (continuing into frebruary/march, whateer.. It's been colder since, but that year was a real outlier (in my experience on earth, this is my supposition, i have been trying to figure this out for 11 years)

>... but these effects are definitely exaggerated by the reweighing of population proportions.

Thanks for sharing the data, but your own data doesn't appear to support that comment.

If I'm reading correctly, the overall drop in US scores was 18 points. The drop in US scores of the two largest populations were 16 points and 17 points respectively. This isn't Sampson's paradox at all. This is exactly what it looks like, each subpopulatuon dropped significantly in score between the pre-covid test and this one.

To call a difference in score of 17 vs 18 (the overall average) an "exaggeration due to reweighting" is quite a misleading stretch of interpretation.
Waymo (and every other AV company) mostly use simulated data. The real world stuff is very repetitive and not that important; they also don't collect nearly as much as you think they do.

And it doesn't help with the main issue, which is Tesla uses cameras and cameras don't work reliably at night, in glare, when they're dirty, etc.

But they don't retain their status as hypernaturals! dx does not need to evenly divide the interval over which the integral is taken. Whenever it doesn't, the number of slices in the integral will fail to be a hypernatural number, because one of the slices will extend beyond the interval boundary.

The theorem tells us that the area of the extended interval that uses a hypernatural number of slices has the same real part as the area of the exact interval. It doesn't tell us that the exact interval contains a hypernatural number of slices.
Yes, it contains "I) Update (Dec. 10): The Wind in the Willow"
Has the issue with all cameras, which is that they don't work when they can't see.

Of course, if they're actually a more general kind of sensor but called a camera then it's fine.
I hate that people feel the need to so strongly attach the generic term open source to Open Source InitiativeⓇ OSI Certified™ license's marketing (anti Stallman) propaganda as the one and only true open source. Redis' license is open in all the ways that matter.
Like breaking up a monolithic app into microservices. The pain moves to communications. This cannot be solved by scaling HR. Avoid HR and recruitment people at all costs. Externally hire those if needed and drop them as soon as you can. These people too need to "set and achieve goals" which will grow more and more pointless each passing quarter.
An exception. It could also not compile, making it never print out the "Hello!" line.
I find it interesting that the vast majority of comments seem to focus on race and politics, and only one that I noticed that mentions social media and phones as possible factors.

It is important to note that employing any workflow engine needs careful examination of the benefits vs. drawbacks.

You will need full and complete control over workflow orchestration, restarts, deletes, logging, versioning etc.

Your steps will get stuck, they will error out unexpectedly and you will need complete transparency and operational tools to deal with that.

In many cases you will be better off doing the book-keeping yourself. A process should be defined in terms of your domain data. Typically you have statuses (not the best choice, but I digress) that change over time, so you can report on the whole lifecycle of your shopping cart.

Now, and this is crucial, how you implement state changes - any state change - should exactly be the same for a "workflow" than for a non-workflow! It needs to be.
A shipment is either not ready yet or done - this information should not be in a "workflow state".

Let's say you shut down your system and start it back up: do you have a mechanism in place that can "continue where it
left off"? If so, you likely don't need a workflow engine.

In our case, on startup, we need to query the system for carts that are waiting for shipments and that are not being dealt with yet.
Then fan out tasks for those.

That is robust in the face of changed data. If you employ a workflow engine, changed data always needs to two consider two worlds: your own domain data and any book-keeping that is potentially done in any workflow.

Don’t promote people who don’t understand building systems. Everything is a system above 100 people, focus on scaling the things that matter below 100.

HR and Finance? Route it all through 1 person and outsource anything that takes significant time.

Tech? Give equity and significant targets to the CTO who should also be CPO until about 80-100 people. Fire them if they aren’t planners.
I am not a gamer, so I encountered Christopher Tin's Civ IV soundtrack in an audio Humble Bundle, of all things.

Most of the Facebook companies are still called Facebook, see for example FACEBOOK IRELAND HOLDINGS UNLIMITED COMPANY https://opencorporates.com/companies/ie/466405 and some of its connected companies.

Still, you'd probably need a license steward to keep the list of companies up to date, and you'd keep the list in an annex. Alternatively you'd need to pick some objective thresholds, such as "more than 1 T$ market cap or more than 100 G$ global annual revenues". This is the approach the EU followed with the Digital Markets Act.

(I'm not saying that I'm endorsing such an approach.)

ADHD is part of the 'neuro-divergent' group I believe.

I've had a similar experience. I'm almost 30. I did a tough degree, but dropped in/out and had to drag my arse across the finish line. Same as school. Top student some days, worse than the worst other days. My grades are a literal sine wave if you track them yea-on-year, month-on-month. Same with work. Also, jobs have been very tough. I've had similar experiences with interviews. But I just got a job offer, after many trials. Before that offer (literally happened today), I was made redundant from a toxic role.

Like you, I'm very capable, and smart (enough) - the ADHD just makes me very inconsistent and emotional. I can barely recall any information from my degree, my knowledge has literal gaping holes. But I did not know I was trialling through ADHD at the time, I just thought I was an idiot and that I couldn't handle things like most people.

But, it will get better. I'm medicated now, have been for a short while and it has helped me focus, but on top of that, the ADHD (has always) given me an insane drive compared to most people I meet.

So now I'm hopeful, and I see a new job as a new start, first time medicated and understanding this ADHD thing.

I have faith it will work out for you. If you need to, consider doing a 'lesser' job/role in the meantime until you feel stable and your medication is working. It will get better, you are still young. You can be the best you on medication (and you can pick up other healthy habits too).

Also re your goals. Know thyself - both strengths, and weaknesses. Lean into the strengths, whatever they may be. Be aware of the weaknesses.
It's ironic that your comment includes immigrants to show that America is great, while other comments exclude immigrants to show that America is not so bad.
Yes, because that's the truth. You can't just throw money at problems and hope they go away. In fact, it creates incentives for them not to.
I also love David Rumsey's collection! Check out the rumsey map center at Stanford if you ever find yourself in the area, it's ridiculously cool

Pastmaps was really born out of my desire for more advanced features, layers, and tools on rumsey's site and I'm hoping I can eventually deliver on that vision (spoilers: I'm definitely not there yet)
This appears to be an open source MIT library that anyone can just use. The docs say it can be run locally against PG. but then they say to use DBOS cloud in production without mentioning that it can also be ran in production against any PG database. Just checking that I am not missing something. I would like to support this project while using it but adding a vendor is not always possible (for example I don’t see SOC2 mentioned).
Japan has pretty good rail in the parts of the country that aren't dense. The way you get it is (among other things) transit-oriented development, which the US has the exact opposite of when they surround suburban train stations with giant parking lots.

Many years ago I worked with an MSEE who grew up in China when the schools were closed. No math from age 8 until age 14 for him. I asked “How did you ever catch up?” he replied, “we were all at the same level and at that age you learn very fast”.

SpaceX has dominance but it's not at all reuse-driven. Simple proof is that it got to dominate the market before reusability started to work for them. First reused launches (just 3 out of 18 they did in that year), happened in 2017, and they were already a market leader by then, with 18 out of 29 successful U.S. space launches and world's overall of 83.

I'm not downplaying importance of reusability and surely the DEGREE of dominance they are having today (which effectively turned the rest of the world into also-ran), is due to reusability - but it didn't require reusability to crush then-existing market leaders. Just simply they were sloppy, corrupt suckers. And still are.
Earlier than that, and IIRC what actually happened was cities decided the streetcars were greedy, put price caps on the fares, and they went out of business.
