RFK was telling us he'd never support Trump, too, and here we are.

RFK has demonstrated repeatedly that he has absolutely no principles whatsoever, and he'll sell out if a soft breeze passes by. If the agribusiness sector tells Trump that banning this chemical will cost them 10% of their profits, Trump will tell RFK to get in line, and he'll give a slight whimper as he does so.
That property is the same reason you don't incur substantial overhead doing large matrix multiplications sharded over disks or many machines. You apply the same chunking strategies used to optimally use L1/L2/L3 caches, just instead at the level of numa nodes, physical disks, machines, and clusters. So long as each "cache" is big enough for the N^3/N^2 term to dominate communication overhead (especially if that communication can happen concurrently), the networked result is about as fast as the individual machines running at their max FLOPs for some smaller problem.
There is a middle ground, and I agree that there are some people that have gone too far.

I think body positivity, validating those choices with models that represent more people is a good thing. As a society we should not be judging someone for their choices or making medical claims about their bodies when we don't know their story.

But I also see the extremes of just ignoring it, not even wanting your doctor to talk about it. (I do realize that there are some exceptions to this like when it comes to eating disorders) I don't understand this. I want my doctor to tell me everything, hell I will overshare in the hopes that something is a thing that needs to be addressed.

I have also personally seen a subset of people that push back on anyone wanting to loose weight. I have lost about 45 lbs over the last year (still not at my target weight but I am very close, about 5-10 lbs off so really not stressing and for context I am 6'5). A friend I have not seen in a while recently gave me a hug, commented that I was loosing weight and asked me "Why". I was put off by it, because why is that even a question? You would get mad if I asked why you were gaining weight.

My point here, there is a middle ground and there is a right and wrong place to address this. Society shaming someone isn't the right choice and ignores that we don't know what is really going on with someone.
Sooo no watts or meters?
Yeah, absolutely. Despite its growth, IMHO Mastodon is still a usability mess in the sense that a typical user will find it needlessly complicated compared to any alternative that is perceived as equivalent. The confusion starts early, with onboarding. I think this is one of the reasons why, for instance, Threads became a larger social network in its first ~24 hours than Mastodon had in its entire 6-ish year run to that point.
It is interesting: I have long wondered if recreational drugs that created long-term feelings of safety and contentment (rather than the anxiety, depression & fear of the current options, especially among uppers) could improve political outcomes.

On the other hand, given European's response to immigration has been to cut their social spending, it seems more likely that the difference in social support can be confidently attributed to racism.

As far as I know we haven't found any chemicals that either create or diminish racism, though it is an interesting direction for future research.

I don't think 1400 is unsustainable? it'll lead to losing weight continuously, maybe a half pound a week ish, but that's sustainable for as long as you have weight to lose, isn't it?
You're overindexing on formal authority and prematurely discounting informal influence. RFK will be a prominent member of the administration. He'll have the ears of powerful people. He'll get some wins at the FDA (because it's blindingly obvious we're poisoning ourselves), and he'll be able to use these wins to drive changes at other agencies.

The org chart is always just a suggestion.
I've never been able to get into The Shining — or much of King's writing — so in that sense I agree with you, and feel like maybe we're in the minority.

You might ultimately be right about why King was unhappy with Kubrick's film, but my understanding is that at least ostensibly King's fundamental concern is that the the film wasn't as sympathetic to Jack as he intended it to be. King meant for Jack to be a diseased but sympathetic victim of the hotel, and feels that the film portrayed Jack as a villain who is an interwoven part of the hotel's menace. I always assumed he felt attached to this issue because of his own struggles with substance use earlier in his life, with The Shining being part of his recovery and rehabilitation, and Jack being a sort of projection of how he felt.

That's just my general impressions though. I'm not either a King or Kubrick devotee, although I respect both a lot as artists. I do feel that the film in particular is a masterpiece, and have always felt a certain discrepancy between how I feel about the novel and the film, so I've probably read more about it than most film adaptations of books. I could easily be missing something important, or misunderstanding something.

The quote was "ultimately some responsibility lies with us to think through how those tools will be used". It's saying that we as builders have a responsibility to consider and be mindful of the impacts of what we're building. It's not saying that the maintainer of wget is directly responsible for a system used to exfiltrate data from a database of political asylees.

To take your same point to its logical conclusion, no one is responsible for evil aside from the one who pulls the trigger.
> whether you file your billions as income or as capital does not matter.

It does matter. We are talking specifically about income inequality. Wealth inequality would be a very different topic.

> in a democracy every vote should be counted equal

But in a representative democracy you don't normally cast an official vote yourself. Referendums are rare. You only talk to your representative and then rely on him to vote your way at the official vote. The constituents could theoretically cast a formal vote at the local level to provide checks and balances to ensure that the representative is representing when it comes down to the final vote, but that's a lot of work. In theory, representative democracy assumes locals will still talk with each other and any discrepancies will be found even without a formal ballot. In practice, I doubt that happens. Talking to neighbours is still a lot of work.

In fact, because democracy is hard work, most people won't ever speak to their representative even once! That is a challenge for democracy as even if you have a perfectly faithful representative, they can only represent those who take the time to say their piece. The perfectly faithful representative is unable to read minds. That is impossible. If you don't talk to them, they can't know what you are thinking.

Yes, this does give the wealthy an advantage as:

1. The wealthy tend to be, on average, more confrontational and would enjoy spending all day talking to a representative. They don't consider it the chore the average person does.

2. The wealthy tend to be able to buy time to spend with a representative. They can afford to spend all day talking. And if they don't want to do it personally, they can hire someone to do it for them.

This is the inherit flaw of democracy. Even a direct democracy ultimately suffers the same problem of only serving those who can afford to participate. Not everyone buys into democracy being the be all and end all for that reason. But no system is perfect.

For sure. I think AI image generation (and soon AI video generation) can keep up a steady flow of new content for any well established creator these days who has enough training content. No need for new photo sessions in real life or worry about them aging.
Even without WhatsApp for business, it's changed the world. I'm an American in the US and have multiple messaging apps on my phone, but have recently taken recruiter calls via WhatsApp from overseas headhunters. It was surprising, and I'm still a bit befuddled when my phone rings and it's an app that isn't indicating a POTS call, especially if I haven't received a text message in advance to let me know it's coming.
No, it didn't! WhatsApp spam is out of control! If you want a spam-free messenger, use Viber as it does not allow VoIP phones!

RFK spoke out against this chemical specifically, so its likely on the chopping block.

>> It's bizarre to me that people don't look after their health.

The obesity crisis obviously has multiple causative factors.
There are plenty of natural experiments suggesting that some of these factors are beyond human behavior and more systematic or environmental (e.g., hormones in food, etc)
There are probably also societal drivers like overpopulation which leads to sprawl, longer commutes, more sedentary time, greater reliance on cars.

I am not saying people should not hold themselves responsible, but we should not be quick to pin it all on individuals and should look at outsider factors also.
Mm, I did take a quick look but the majority seem to be studying within the cow cervix, which... it seems kind of iffy to then expand that to the wider body, and then jump species from cows to humans. Too many links of indirection to make a reasonable claim about.
I don't want to link to the thread because the author didn't seem to want to, but someone in another thread said Llama 3 with a few-shot prompting to get the model to respond, using their actual DMs with fans.
Your heart is still moving the same weight, fat or muscle. It's the same from system stress. Experiencing more health issues from bulking even at >20 bodyfat is pretty common... blood pressure etc. At some point just being a bigger person who has to eat more takes a toll.
IANAL, but the semantics of opinion vs fact are typically tangential to the court's determination of defamation. However, in many cases it's a matter of framing: "I think that ..." prefixing a statement can carry a lot of weight versus presenting it as a fact.
At least in the earlier years, DVD players had dedicated decoder chips (and often still have now I believe), because general-purpose CPUs weren’t powerful enough or else too expensive at the time. So there wasn’t a software codec you could upgrade.
We should be looking at eating poorly as well.
If I do a second edition, I'll probably think about it then. I don't have any plans to touch the book any time soon. I worked on it every single day for six years, so when it was done, I was really ready to be done working on it.
I'm on Mounjaro for T2D, previously on Ozempic. Besides the weight loss and the blood sugar control it also eliminated my IBS as well. Before the drug certain foods, especially nuts would cause excruciating digestive issues. I can now eat them without worry. It's been amazing.
I don't understand the focus on Intel's board. Intel released a new processor back in October (Arrow Lake) and it was a total flop. That is why Pat Gelsinger was fired.

From what I've read, it's not incorrect. Orthogonal valuations are not part of the bid value. This is why The Onion was second (the winner). It was not the highest bid (the considered part). The end.

The Judge has decided that's unfair, likely due to some bias (intellectual, political, etc.)

> dotorg being run by a private citizen who receives no payments does not exempt it from GDPR, because GDPR doesn't make that distinction.

The dot org being run by an American citizen who does not operate within the UK that country 100% means UK courts do not having standing. Remember GDPR UK is not GDPR. It's based on it but case law is different and other stuff. Remember, just because one country does not allow something or requires something does not mean everyone whose website is accessible within that country has to follow that law. But for UK law to apply to someone there has to be a connection. Not just "I can connect to that website" or they're processing my data.

Furthermore, GDPR UK does make a distinction or at least the ICO does - https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the.... Under UK law providing goods and services requires taking payment.

Legal opinion has also been shared from lots of sources that small businesses operating out with the EU aren't covered by GDPR. I believe there is EU law that says EU law only applies to companies with a significant number of customers who are EU citizens.

> There _is_ an exemption for household processing (recital 18) - which means that I don't need to worry about taking a neighbour's contact number etc - but wordpress.org wouldn't fall under that.

Fun fact, in the UK data protection laws will still cover cameras and whatnot taken from a household. That is UK case law. But again, there is no standing for even the Data Protection Act to apply because there is no connection.

> Given Matt's actions (and statements made by his own team so far in the case), I think he'd struggle to claim that wordpress.org is not linked to "professional or commercial activity".

Yea, but there is no standing for the UK to apply its laws on Matt. The EU may have a better claim since he has servers in the EU. However, as pointed out GDPR does not apply for that person because he is neither an EU citizen or a resident as far as I can tell. Their entire claim would be to apply UK law to someone not operating within the country.

The entire point of commercial activity is that there would be a connection and would give UK courts standing is silly. It's basic law 101. Hence, why I said in my first comment that OP didn't understand the law.
If you willingly pay money to talk to AI slop that's one thing, but if you're sold access to a person then that's what you should get. You're right that they're both empty experiences, but one is an erosion of consumer rights and the other is just stupid.

That's an interesting question. The Navajo rug that Intel commissioned shows the Pentium P54C. This is the higher-frequency version of the original Pentium (P5). The FDIV bug had been fixed by this point, so the rug does not have the FDIV bug. But you can see in the rug exactly where the FDIV bug was.

> and Google has been famously bad at getting people aligned and driving in one direction.

To be fair, it's not that they're bad at it -- it's that they generally have an explicit philosophy against it. It's a choice.

Google management doesn't want to "pick winners". It prefers to let multiple products (like messaging apps, famously) compete and let the market decide. According to this way of thinking, you come out ahead in the long run because you increase your chances of having the winning product.

Gemini is a great example of when they do choose to focus on a single strategy, however. Cloud was another great example.
The point is that Leptos became awesome even with no money.

The only reason Biden pardoned his son was that Trump explicitly said he was going to use the DoJ for a punitive witch-hunt. No father would ever subject their child to that.

I am surprised we don’t have more YouTube influencers who are AI generated. A lot of the opinion YouTubers can likely be replaced by AI, eg take a news item and then represent their worldview and perspective as the prompt and ask for a script. Then pad it out with appropriate AI generated videos to go along with the script. You would be missing the custom graphics still, but it would be getting close.
>All of these 'problems' have simple and straigtforward workarounds, I'm not convinced these UB are needed at all.

He gave you a simple and straightforward example, but that example may not be representative of a real world program where complex analysis leads to better performing code.

As a programmer, its far easier to just insert bounds checks everywhere, and trust the system to remove them when possible. This is what Rust does, and it safe. The problem isn't the compiler, the problem is the standard. More broadly, the standard wasn't written with optimizing compilers in mind.
> The handful of US based defense contractors I've had contact with were VERY up front about what they develop. I think they more so wanted you to know so everyone was on the same page.

That matches my couple data points.

I did a lot of software engineering consulting work through a Federal contractor. When I was first approached, the director told me some of their customers were military, and how would I feel about that. I said something generally favorable, and that I only had a personal rule that I didn't want to work on weapon systems, nor domestic surveillance. That was fine with them, and we did years of great work, on very positive safety programs.

Earlier, in school, I did a final project for a class (a simple "agent" system to help people find online communities of interest in Internet chat). The professor later told me, out of the blue, that a federal contractor wanted to license my little project(!), for surveillance(!), and they'd pay me to advise. At least they were upfront about what they wanted it for. I declined and discouraged them.[1]

[1] One reason was that I turned off by surveillance of the Internet, as a pre-Web Internet kid (also raised on anti-Soviet/anti-police-state propaganda) who still thought of the Internet as a better world that we insiders wanted to bring to everyone else. The other reason was my little technical approach would've been a waste of money for that surveillance problem. IIRC, I was polite in declining, and didn't mention the first reason, but was probably impolitic in telling them the latter reason.

It's good in the sense that a merged Kroger-Albertsons won't be able to use greater retail dominance to push suppliers into offering them special deals. On the other hand, simple enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act, which stopped in the 1980s[1], would go a long way to reversing the power conglomerated grocery chains have in price discrimination.
