Maybe so, but in places with good civil and human rights, you can't sign them away via contract, they're inalienable. If Kenya doesn't offer these protections, and the allegations are correct, then Facebook deserves to be punished regardless for profiting off inhumane working conditions.

I found Danielle Steel books translated to Spanish to be great as a first introduction when I was learning Spanish... Disclaimer: I've got zero interest in romance stories or her writing.

Her books had more natural words and it really didn't matter if you misunderstood a few words or a sentence. Plus because they had been simply translated from English you kind of picked up on grammar that made sense (you could squint and kinda knew the English behind it).

Great literature was the worst to try and read and learn from. I wouldn't try reading anything highly regarded as good literature. Just too hard.

Long books are a grind - I would probably avoid Harry Potter for that reason.

Comics were really hard - too many contractions and fake accents; also local comics often implicitly referred to local culture I didn't know.
8 hours is long, but if you factor in ground transportation and station-locations it makes sense.

Flying: Berlin to Brandenburg (34 mins) + security (1 hr) + flight (2 hrs) + Orly/CDG to Paris (46 mins) = 4.33 hrs

(and that's the happy path -- in reality it's closer to 5.5 hours, with lots of transfers)

Train is A-to-B with lots of legroom.
> Would you get in a self-driving car in a dense urban environment such as New York City? [...] Would you get in one such car if you had alternatives?

I fortunately do have alternatives and accordingly mostly don't take cars at all.

But given the necessity/opportunity: Definitely. Being in a car, even (or especially) with a dubious driver, is much safer (at NYC traffic speeds) than being a pedestrian sharing the road with it.

And that's my entire point: Self-driving cars, like cars in general, are potentially a much larger danger to others (cyclists, pedestrians) than they are to their passengers.

That said, I don't especially distrust the self-driving kind – I've tried Waymo before and felt like it handled tricky situations at least as well as some Uber or Lyft drivers I've had before. They seem to have a lot more precision equipment than camera-only based Teslas, though.
A bit late to the party, but yes. I'd rather live in safety than with civil liberties.
"bash is slow."

That's in part why I do not use it for scripting. I do not use it for interactive use either.

Some popular Linux distributions also avoid bash as a scripting shell.
The risk/reward ratio is very tilted towards risk in events like this. Sure, it's unlikely that someone does something that he gets in trouble for, but if it does happen, it's a disproportionate amount of consequence.

I'd not risk it in his shoes either.
Nono, it's definitely a real thing. Just mixed feelings on it as a cause, if that makes sense.

My fault for not being clear.

I've been playing around with interpreted machines quite a bit for genetic programming experiments. My current favorite minimal machine has 4 instructions:

0b00: Increment memory pointer (wraps)

0b01: Increment memory value (wraps)

0b10: Jump marker - Jump to next marker if memory value 1, prior if 2 (wraps)

0b11: Output current memory value

It has 2 tapes, instruction & memory. Memory is an array of byte.

This cannot handle any kind of input, but is useful for generating programs that can. Being able to pack 32 instructions into each interpreter machine word opens up some interesting possibilities for how we search the space.

Well, there still isn't. It's not really a new line, just an indirect connection via existing high speed lines that takes over 8 hours. I don't think that's gonna be very competitive with air travel which takes less than 2 hours.

Apparently the highest average speed rail line in the world averages 318 km/h and the straight line distance between Paris and Berlin (through Belgium and Luxembourg) is about 875 km, the time could be about 2.75 hours, which wouldn't be too bad.

In reality the lines wouldn't be able to go straight and you might want to avoid going through any countries other than France and Germany. The best case scenario would probably be a little over 3 hours, which still wouldn't be too bad.

rateyourmusic.com has great yearly charts and genre charts and the best granular genre tags on the internet. If you like an album or artist, going through the charts related to their genre tags very often finds me a lot of great music.

The second thing that has proven indispensable for me are recommendations from "peers" on private music torrent trackers. I found a few people where I know that if they recommend something, even if it's a genre I don't listen to frequently, chances are I will like this as well. This spawned a lot of fun music adventures.

I don't know Haskell, so I can imagine if you didn't know Python it'd be "greek to you" (unintelligible). I'll try explaining in prose what I did. [note: I also edited the grandparent comment because when I simplified the session I showed, the assignment of "s" ended up out of order]

I use the Python decimal package to calculate 17^(1/7) to 4000 decimal places. I show the first 12 characters of the ASCII representation ("1.4989198720"), then take the first 1000 characters after the decimal place. I show the first and last 10 characters of this string ("4989198720...6163659068") so that you can verify it against the string you are testing.

Then I use a list comprehension to check each 3-digit string (e.g., 001, 002, 003, ..., 999) to find out whether it is a substring of the concatenation of `s` with itself, and list the ones that don't appear. I manually abbreviated the list, but I'm saying that in my string, 000, 002, 004, 005, 009, [and some other numbers], 993, 994, 995, 998, and 999 did not appear. (The concatenation `s+s` is checked so that the subsequences that occur at the wraparound---here,684 and 849---are found)

Because some of these length-3 sequences are missing, to my understanding this does not constitute a de Bruijn sequence of order 3 on a size-10 alphabet. However, I'm also not entirely sure whether this is what you were claiming.
Probably because you need to feed it child porn so it can detect it...

I had a look at the example glu deployment pipeline and I’m decidedly unimpressed.

Admittedly most of my criticism is related to the choice of Go as an implementation language: more than 80% of the code volume is error handling boilerplate!

Before the lovers of Go start making the usual arguments consider that in a high-level pipeline script every step is expected to fail in novel and interesting ways! This isn’t “normal code” where fallible external I/O interactions are few and far between, so error handling overhead is amortised over many lines of logic! Instead the code becomes all error handling with logic… in there… somewhere. Good luck even spotting it.

Second, I don’t see the benefit of glu (specifically) over established IaC systems such as Pulumi — which is polyglot and allows the use of languages that aren’t mostly repetitive error handling ceremony.

This seems like an internally developed tool that suits the purposes of a single org “thrown over the fence” in the hope that the open source community will contribute to their private tool.

Newton Raphson could be used to calculate a reciprocal. (in a bit width larger than 8). If starting from a good reciprocal approximation, convergence to bit accurate reciprocal should not take many iterations. Then multiply the reciprocal with the numerator to perform the divide
I can totally empathize with finding it hard to find the motivation for something like this (despite being reflexively quite judgemental), and I wish you luck / success in your learning journey!

I suspect you'll find that between your knowledge of English and Swedish, you'll discover a lot of connections to those languages in German that may make it easier and maybe even fund to learn the vocabulary. The grammar will remain a pain in the butt, but at least once you get the vocabulary down, you can move onto more stimulating learning material than flash cards.

> However, I'm not a native English speaker, the other languages I speak is Japanese and Swedish.

Fair enough, Maybe I should just change my complaint to a complaint about the ubiquity of English. Or maybe it's just a silly complaint any way I slice it, but it just sometimes feels bad to me to see English everywhere (even though I am a native English speaker myself)

Interesting. It sounds like your analytical skills are really amazing which lets you get away with "solving for x".

But sounds like your retention and generative capabilities are underdeveloped because you're able to get away with so much through purely analytic hacks. Many gifted folks suffer from this -- they take so many shortcuts because its so frictionless for them to do so (and they are praised for it) but they end up not developing much deep comprehension (unless it's something that really interests them). This is why many gifted kids struggle with having the grit to do deep work beyond the quick solves. Some things just require work, no matter how smart one is.

Language production is what you might need to focus on, not "solving for" the language.

You might need to use the Feynman method to train your generative skills (which will also train your retention). The Feynman method is a forcing function to train comprehension.

You can do a lot better than that. You can treat memory ranges coming from separate allocations as distinct segments, and pointers as tuples of a segment ID and a linear offset within the segment. This is essentially what systems like CHERI are built on, and how C and C++ are implemented on segmented architectures like the 8086 and 80286. The C standard includes a somewhat limited notion of "objects" that's intended to support this exact case.

Because having just an html file can just be simpler and html files are more ubiquitously rendered. Personally having a single html file with base64 encoded images embedded into it serves 99.9% of what I usually want to do when wanting to have a webpage saved offline. Such a file can be eg be put in my dropbox and rendered in dropbox web interface which makes it easy to share with others.

I have actually made a script that looks for image tags in an html file on my computer, looks in the local directory location for them and base64 embeds them in the html file itself, so this seems to simplify the process.
The purpose of facebook moderators (besides legal compliance) is to protect normal people from the "sick" people. In a federated network, of course, such people will create their own instances, and hide there. But then no one is harmed from them, because all such instances will be banned quite quickly, same as all spam email hosts are blocked very quickly by everyone else.

From a normal person perspective on not seeing bad stuff, the design of a federated network is inherently better than a global network.
It takes humility to get to the point where you know that you know. This is the humble side of the Dunning-Kruger pair of result groups: the ones who have reached a level of expertise through good, hard, honest graft; the ones still learning; the ones who tend to underestimate themselves.

But, if I acted like I didn't know -- especially in these parts -- that would be a kind of lie, and I'm sick and tired of lies. That you don't know what I know or agree that I can even know it is to be expected, so fire away!

I don't want to run anything or anyone. I just want everyone to get some 'act right' and help us fix what we can while we can. A world full of callously selfish inertial idiots is not going to help improve anything.

Before the world can change, we have to change, each of us. History is not exactly rife with excellent examples, but things are grinding forward, even in the presense of our flawed cultures.

The more compassion we can add to our ideals, attitudes, and behaviors, the more effectively we can help the people that need it. That those folks' numbers are growing is not due to the presense of caring compassion.

All oppression and misery is accompanied by cruel indifference, however far removed from the brutality.

The first verse of Pink Floyd's "On the Turning Away":

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
“Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of all the suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away”

It's a program. "App" is a word, short for "Application Program," publicized by Apple for its handheld computers that masquerade as (and are euphemistically called) "telephones." "App" effectively means "proprietary closed-source program that talks to proprietary walled-garden programs running on someone else's computer, and acts as a spy sending all your sensitive data to who-knows-where."

No-one ever called a real program an "app" before that, did they?

Off the top of my head, the most trivial approach is also trivial to defeat. Google sets up a VPN? Just give its IP address special treatment just like you're already doing with the geofencing trick.

The only thing I can think of that'd be tough to deal with is giving that VPN server a second route to the internet, and hiding that behind the biggest consumer CG-NAT you can find. They'll have to use a bogus UA string too.

To be fair, it's well within Google's capabilities. I'm surprised they don't already do something like this, honestly. Trivial? I wouldn't say so.

On a related note: between SEO abuse like this, and the ongoing systematic IP theft by OpenAI, Google, and friends, I worry we're entering an irreversible dark age for the web. Crazy abuses of NAT and UA strings will run rampant, and the only solution will be to serve nothing of value to anyone at all without a paywall.
I think a better example is mining, where miners received no safety equipment, and the mines were not built with safety foremost.

There are still people who believe the contract is all that counts, nothing else matters, and if you don't like it, leave.

There are plenty of cryptocurrencies out there that don't have the trouble with confirmation times that BTC and ETH do (like Solana, Algorand, Agoric, etc.) Your points about usability are on-point, and things like recurring payments over cryptocurrency are still very cumbersome (e.g. the payer has to initiate the payment, there's no simple UX to create a monthly bill of any sort.)

At the current moment I think there's a lot of value for BTC, ETH, and cryptocurrencies in places/industries where access to stable financial infrastructure is either difficult, limited, or otherwise unavailable. Until the UX problems are fixed I think cryptocurrency will just not find the adoption it needs to drive volume beyond speculation, which is the volume it needs to hit some form of stable pricing.

GP asked how it was different from what Walmart or Amazon are doing, but what you describe is precisely the same as what Walmart and Amazon do. I go to my local Kroger and there are a bunch of Kroger brand knock offs of the “name brand” stuff, being promoted heavily. Kroger makes more money off that stuff because they don’t have to split the profits. Nobody’s complaining that this is unfair.

Your point #1 still stands though, and if the slop in question was clearly labeled as “spotify originals” or something and was something you could easily filter out, I’m sure far fewer people would have an issue with it. The issue is the deception, not that they are pushing their own slop on people.
I'd argue the key difference between Turing machines and real-world computers is that computers do IO, respond to events, have real-time characteristics, and are interactive. All of these are key features in making computers useful, but are poorly (if at all) captured by Turing machine model. It's one thing to compute something, and another thing to play Doom.

AI models have historically found lots of ways to game systems. My favorite example is exploiting bugs in simulator physics to "cheat" at games of computer tag. Another is a model for radiology tasks finding biases in diagnostic results using dates on the images. And of course whenever people discuss a benchmark publicly it leaks the benchmark into the training set, so the benchmark becomes a worse measure.
