>>Now, b) is false. You can change the code to extract 3 random numbers each time, discard the first 2 and only consider the third one, the results won't change.

Might be in theory. In practice, this is rarely true.

Take for example in trading. What happens(is about to happen), depends on what just happened. A stock could over bought/over sold, range bound, moving in a specific direction etc. This decides whats about to happen next. Reality is rarely ever random.

Im sure if you study a coin toss for example, you can find similar patterns, for eg- if you have tired thumb, Im pretty sure it effects the height of the toss, effecting results.

- The new car will refuse to drive you at X location because you overused your monthly C02 quota.
The issue is that the artists who make it are getting paid very little, with no attribution, on songs that get massive amounts of plays and exposure.

The problem here is you are asking for the impossible: strong evidence that novel chemicals are safe. How could you ever get that? It's impossible to prove a negative.

And doesn't this just privilege tradition? Chemicals will be grandfathered in for spurious reasons, not because they are actually any safer. Famously, chemicals in plants very often light up the Ames test for carcinogenicity and would be ruled out by your argument if they weren't "natural".

IG reels and YouTube shorts are crap because creators create good content only for the place where all the audience is, which is TikTok. When users open TikTok they expect TikTok-style content. When users open YouTube they don't expect TikTok-style content, in fact they hate it. Same with IG reels.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the algorithm. In fact the YT algorithm has gotten worse since they introduced shorts because they shove shorts into people's faces.

A better question would be why is the regular YouTube algorithm so bad. And the answer is because it doesn't optimize at all for the consumers, but for the producers (producers of ads, that is). TT has figured out it doesn't matter what people consume as long as they consume, whereas YT is bullish into controlling what people consume.
It’s not keeping them safe: it’s recording in order to facilitate an investigation if someone harms them.

That might serve a deterrent effect, but given how much crime is a result of poor impulse control, it may not have as strong an effect as one might like.

> Generating VERY precise timing and pulses, you need FPGA's or CPLD's

Back in the day, I managed to create a working RGH modchip based on Atmega8 (8 bit micro) running at 20 MHz with hand-crafted assembly code.
I named it RWH (Reset Witch Hack) and it was able to boot Xbox 360 Jasper in 1-2 minutes.
Old motherboards had a physical pad on the motherboard allowing for slowing down the CPU, so no i2c was required. I also have to connect the whole 8 bit POST bus to read the current value in one instruction.

PCB was made at home, and since AVR is 5V system, I used NPNs for voltage conversion (all values were inverted in the software).

Why? I didn't have money to buy the "real" CPLD modchip.

Rush and happiness when it first booted - priceless.

I still should have the source code for it somewhere on backup.

I pre-ordered one of these mostly because it exposes dual 5 Gbps Ethernet and PCIe Gen 4... so the expansion capabilities and I/O are the best of any Arm system I've seen short of $1,500+ Ampere systems.

But the marketing bar graphs and lack of efficiency data, along with not (yet) seeing any of the board firmware (says it uses EDKII) makes me a little worried.

I've been burned buying new Radxa hardware in the past, without ever seeing software support materialize later (or half-implemented features that only work on one or two barely-maintained distros...).

But I would love to have another option for an efficient Arm board. Hopefully the efficiency is also close to M1 which is pretty amazing.

Depends what you mean readable though. In python you can't tell whats a variable and whats a list, and whats a dictionary by looking. One can claim whole language is unreadable since variables are needed at every step.

I'd like to echo the impressiveness of tldraw. At the BigBlueButton project, an open source virtual classroom, we built tldraw into the core.

I'll argue that TikTok's structure which offers you one video at a time gives you much more useful information than YouTube's interface, which looks like

https://www.threads.net/@mikeynerd/post/DB7DS7LzsVU

TikTok gets a definite thumbs up or thumbs down for every video it shows you whereas if you click on one particular sidebar video YouTube can make no conclusion about how you felt about the other videos in the sidebar. The recommendation literature talks about "negative sampling" to overcome this, I never could really believe in it, I think now it doesn't really work.

I built a system like that and found that, paradoxically, you have to make it blend in a good amount of content that it doesn't think you'd like for it to be able to calibrate itself.

Almost a quarter century later, I remain amazed that Americans put up with locks the government has the key to (on our luggage). As someone who grew up in the Cold War, that’s the sort of thing we would have expected from the Soviets.

IIRC, it was during Nixon’s term that things started to go awry. I believe it was his administration who responded to security incidents on æroplanes with the un-American approaching of disarming passengers.

People wrongly assume that you can put Europe and the US in the same basket (because temperature-wise climate is comparable), but half of Europe is further north than Montreal, and almost all of it is beyond Philadelphia, so no you can't really say “Europe and most of the US”.

> That's debatable, and even if we blindly assume that then it's debatable whether the upgrade justifies the gains

This is not debatable. It’s a factual truth. Every single actual performance review concludes that modern Java vastly out performs the decade old Java 8 runtime.

For an example here is a quote from Hazelcast when comparing performance of modern Java on data heavy workloads [0]:

> JDK 8 is an antiquated runtime. The default Parallel collector enters huge Full GC pauses and the G1, although having less frequent Full GCs, is stuck in an old version that uses just one thread to perform it, resulting in even longer pauses. Even on a moderate heap of 12 GB, the pauses were exceeding 20 seconds for Parallel and a full minute for G1. The ConcurrentMarkSweep collector is strictly worse than G1 in all scenarios, and its failure mode are multi-minute Full GC pauses.

This is from 2020 and the gap has only gotten wider.

> Ask some Americans to write an article about spies or hackers.

So The Guardian and Washington Post reporting on Edward Snowden leaks literally about USA Hacking and Spying... don't count? It's probably the biggest report ever published on this matter and happened in the USA. Not to mention that others followed through...

That's why this is quite a confusing statement... heavily conspiracy-driven and misinformed... was any journalist murdered? Because you know, other regimes murder their journalists for far less.

Anyway, I don't think this answers the question.

The user generalized, and I'm looking for a concrete case of "what the media" wants us to hear where coordination took place. This is conspiracy theory by the way, and it's now generalized - so I think it's important to go into the facts of it.

For example, if he said specifically "X is optimized to push MAGA content", it would be a concrete example of a multi-billionaire pushing a certain narrative and there's data that shows the shift[0]

But stating that "the media" as a whole, is such a broad statement and such an extraordinary claim, that it requires that we look into it no?

Of course, there are different sets of values and controls depending on the country. There's no free press in North Korea. This is a very different statement, because there's free press in most Western Countries, even with individual biases.

> These days, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are the de facto go-to for Americans writing about these kinds of things even though most hacks in the US are done by Americans against Americans.
