> The problem is that throughput per lane of cars is very limited in comparison to everything else

Bullshit. You are a victim of propaganda.

In reality, a car lane can carry 2000 people per hour with an average car load. With mild car-pooling, it's easy to increase it to 6000 people per hour.

A bus in the US has an average load of just 18 people. So with 10 buses per hour, you get just 180 people per lane per hour. Even at peak loads (200 people per bus) and a bus every 2 minutes, you get 6000 people per lane per hour.

Transit sucks and will always suck. It's pure math. Transit slowly consumes lives and increases misery. All it's good for is to move people to "misery centrals" (downtowns) where pretty much nobody really wants/can live in comfort.
The Go S appears to only have one rear button on each side.

I've played half a dozen games on the original Go, and I don't think I've used more than one rear button. In Half Life, it's more comfortable to hold for crouch. In one of the Spider Man games, it expected a trackpad click, which was easier to perform with a rear button.

Since games have been designed to be playable with only the face buttons, there's not always obvious utility for extras. Maybe as premium controllers become more popular, this will change. For now, I can definitely see the argument that 4 buttons are superfluous (except for standardization).
How does forgetting relate to the article?
By this logic I, a person who has never been at risk of financial insolvency partially due to my lack of consumer addiction/upbringing with financial literacy, should be insulted by someone who says that budgeting isn't a solution to systemic poverty.
> Community notes are just opinions of random people on internet.

No. Community Notes is an open-source peer review-like system but designed in a way to limit bias: When sets of note contributors (the peers in this case) who normally strongly oppose each other’s views on Topic A strongly agree on a point made re Topic A, we’re likely getting closer to the truth.
Fruit drinks have a neat trick to increase sugar content. Take apple juice for example: you can evaporate water out of it till it's a sugary syrup, then add it to regular apple juice, and it's still called "100% pure apple juice no sugar added".

(This is also done with various flavor essences from the juice, so they can recombine them in such a way as to produce a uniform flavor all throughout the year regardless of where the fruits are coming from.)
Thats because it lost money. It paid all its profit to the treasury, which was less than zero as raising rates causes it to loose its income
They're really using every tactic they can -- and for the life of me, I have no idea why. They've pushed so hard, for so long, to make Bing succeed -- even forcing it in the Start menu -- and it's still not owning the search space.
You are welcome.

I really got a lot out of these chips. Hopefully you do too.
From the perspective of someone who's dabbled in 3D graphics, and has made an engine for 3D visualizations for my science projects:

What is blocking this from high resolutions, and dynamic or smooth lighting? The former is free, and you can do the latter in Vulkan/Dx/Metal/OpenGl etc using a minimal pixel and fragment shader pair.
>You're mistaking citing secondary sources for being a secondary source.

No, I'm not. I cited a document titled "Wikipedia is a tertiary source" in order to establish that prominently citing secondary sources (which is what makes Wikipedia a tertiary source) is established Wikipedia policy (as described in the document).

Yes, it's stated there that tertiary sources can in principle cite primary sources directly. But in practice, if you try this, you'll be accused of violating Wikipedia policy: in particular, primary sources for anything vaguely political will not be considered reliable (even though the dependence on secondary sources from the approved list is a major source of bias) and if you can't find an acceptable secondary source then other editors will conclude that the material is not notable.

> A better way for this article would be "newsletter XY reported on a poll that said ABC", instead of pointing to the poll but linking to the newsletter.

I agree; but as far as Wikipedians seem to be concerned, if newsletter XY is on the approved RS list, things that it says happened must have actually happened (and you'll only be allowed to challenge that with another source from the approved RS list; they'll say you're doing "original research" by pointing out directly that the poll doesn't actually say ABC, because that's, like, just your analysis of the poll).

Wikipedia is not concerned with truth, in that being able to disprove content in supposedly reliable sources doesn't entitle you to correct the material.
I was wondering why Google hadn't replaced 'I'm Feeling Lucky' with something to do with LLMs, or just added an LLM-generate option. I came to the conclusion that they're in corporate denialism over the whole thing. They'd be happier if their finger slipped and made Anthropic and OpenAI vanish until they could resurface and capture the market. Possibly not a great strategy.

It seems all of their years of letting the open web decay and vanish has caught up with the fact that many requests can be serviced with an inverse thesaurus manual snippet soup.

> When we launched our independent fact checking program in 2016, we were very clear that we didn’t want to be the arbiters of truth. We made what we thought was the best and most reasonable choice at the time, which was to hand that responsibility over to independent fact checking organizations... That’s not the way things played out, especially in the United States. Experts, like everyone else, have their own biases and perspectives. This showed up in the choices some made about what to fact check and how.

This frustration with fact-checkers seems genuine. Mark alluded to it in https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/11/mark-zuckerberg-says-hes-d... which squares with how the Government used fact-checkers to coerce Facebook into censoring non-egregious speech (switchboarding) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41370516

Alex Stamos pushed this initiative pretty hard outside of Facebook in 2019+, seemingly because he wasn't able to do inside of Facebook back in 2016/2018. But I haven't dug into his motivations.
It can be both. And it is.

Machiavellian, even.

There's probably some truth to this, and I suppose you can define "objectively better" as "maximizing your optimization goal" or "minimizing the bad stuff" or something, quantifying that however you want.

That said, I'm not 100% convinced that my "rational brain" actually is better at making decisions that minimize regret than just relying on emotions. My rational brain is very good at rationalizing shit to where I can convince myself that something that's very obviously bad is "actually ok when you think about it like this...", and then I regret it afterwards.

At least for me, that doesn't really happen when I just rely heavily on my emotional brain.
Older people don’t understand the idea of “search engine”, they understand “google”. They don’t realize you can “google” through Bing as well. I hate it, but it is what it is.
You're limited by dataset and sample size. Even in much of Western Europe, the sampling is limited.

That said, this is a point of contention that even the authors of the paper allude to:

"The most principled approach is thus to build ancestry models in which source and ‘outgroup/reference’ populations are older than, or at least contemporary with, the target genome or group that we are trying to model. However, this has been challenging, due to the limited statistical power offered by the thousands-fold lower sample sizes and reduced sequence quality of ancient genomes"
This happens with my Samsung laser printer too, is it not all laser printers?
To use a narrow interpretation of "prompt injection", it comes from how all data is one undifferentiated stream. The LLM [0] isn't designed to detect self/other, let alone higher-level constructs like truth/untruth, consistent/contradictory, a theory-of mind for other entities, or whether you trust the motives of those entities.

So I'd say the human equivalent of LLM prompt injection is whispering in the ear of a dreaming person to try to influence what they dream about.

That said, I take some solace in the idea that humans have been trying to hack other humans for thousands of years, so it's not as novel a problem as it first appears.

[0] Importantly, this is not be confused with characters that human readers may perceive inside LLM output, where we can read all sort of qualities including ones we know the author-LLM does not possess.
I don't know why you assume I'm even on social media. The cutter incident is well known anyway, established in history in many more journals than the JRSM. It's the origin story of VAERS. How rude.
Minecraft is a bad example. It uses low resolution textures, but the screen resolution is as big as your display. I'm not even sure what the maximum is.
https://xkcd.com/1732/

We've had in the last 100 years a temperature swing that usually takes a thousand years or more. We've already seen greater than +1C of temperature increase compared to before widespread use of fossil fuels.

Is that caused by humans? Sure that's up for debate, in the same way whether tobacco causes cancer is. People are willing to be wrong when being wrong gives them money/status/utility.
They're not offering POWER10 either because IBM closed the firmware again. Stupid move.
I'd have thought that iPhones would have sane defaults with USB-C, but it's a real pain when using USB-C to provide tethered internet to a laptop. No, I don't want the phone to charge the laptop, they both have batteries of their own

And there's seemingly no way to get the phone to not try to charge things regardless of what the other side thinks (and when plugging the laptop in, it starts to charge the phone).

The alternative would be using WiFi (in a very RF polluted space) or Bluetooth (horribly slow), versus USB-C where 5g via my phone in Bangkok can get 250mbit easily. Whereas my Android phone has options for 'data only' etc. without charging which seems like it's more of a UX 'Apple' thing than anything else.
Also didn't know Meta was outsourcing fact-checkers which is a very terrible idea that sponsored a shady economy of ghost workers that were paid pennies for reviewing gore content.

It'll really take a special mind to think Community Notes wasn't a positive feature added to the social network sphere. Musk despite his schtick did very bold things that other platforms wouldn't think of doing, such as open-sourcing the recommendation system or recently suggesting the idea of optimising content with unregretted time spent that will reward healthy content and punish toxic content even if the two had the same number of impressions.

The overtone window is shifting towards a more open speech and less of self-gratifying echo chambers that promoted the toxic cancel culture.
Also couldn't get o1 to fail. I tried the following with o1:

"Which is heavier, a solid titanium box weighing 9.9 flubs, or an empty wooden box weighing 10.1 blobs, where 1 flub = 1 kg, and 1 blob is 1kg".

The answer:
"Since 1 flub = 1 kg and 1 blob = 1 kg, the titanium box’s mass is 9.9 kg and the wooden box’s mass is 10.1 kg. Therefore, the wooden box (10.1 kg) is heavier."

Thought that was pretty impressive.
There were Phi cards, but they were pricey and power hungry (at the time, now current GPU cards probably meet or exceed the Phi card's power consumption) for plugging into your home PC. A few years back there was a big fire sale on Phi cards - you could pick one up for like $200. But by then nobody cared.
Nuance is dead with the short posts. "whether crime is up or down" may not be possible to post about realistically. On what timescale, which crime, has the reporting about this crime changed, has the classification changed, is it about confirmed crime or reports, etc. etc.

Specific crime is such a complex system now that we can (both accidentally and maliciously) post factual information that presents a small fragment of the issue, sometimes helpful, sometimes misinforming for the context we're talking about.
The Liberal immigration policy was created on the basis of consulting done by McKinsey & Company. This group has long been a primary source of policy and ideas for the Liberals.

In 2016 this group put out a document that says this: [1]

"Besides contributing to output today, immigrants provide a needed demographic boost to the current and future labor force in destination countries. Improving the old-age dependency ratio is of critical importance to countries like Germany, Spain, Canada, and the United Kingdom, where most public pensions have a pay-as-you-go structure and worsening dependency ratios threaten to make many plans unsustainable. The presence of both first- and second-generation immigrants can help combat such unfavorable demographic trends, particularly because immigrant groups tend to have higher fertility rates than native-born populations in these countries."

Please don't try to graft American politics onto the Canadian political landscape. This is an entirely different context, with quite differing histories and opinions. I honestly can't remember anyone in Canada saying "Great Replacement" in recent memory. Most Canadians are grateful for the quality program that we used to have, and for the issues it's helped us avoid. Please leave such conspiratorial and loaded language to Reddit.

You don't have to be a neo-nazi to be antisemitic. You can also get carried away with the free Palestine stuff and blame all Jews instead of just Zionists. That's what leftists sometimes do.

> Just today, a cartoonist from the Washington Post resigned after her cartoon mocking Bezos grovelling at Trump's feet was barred from publication.

Yea maybe that's the start of free speech going back to the left, but for the past few years, it's been clearly a right wing thing.

You might be right about idealists who have actual principles maintaining them (as you listed) but that's not normal people. Normal people's opinions blow with the wind of their tribe.
It's him, the name also appears in the credit roll at the end.
If MS hasn't changed the result in the meantime, the screenshot in the article is slightly dishonest by omission. The journalist has manipulated the browser window's size and scrolled down a bit so that only the "promoted result" is visible and without any indication. The journalist's characterization

> Before you scroll down to the actual search results, you’re presented with an all-white page with a centered, unbranded search bar and a multicolored doodle above it that’s heavy on yellow, red, blue, and green.

is dishonest.

In actuality, Google-like interface appears as a full-width promoted result/ad before the organic results. There is vaguely the words "Promoted by Microsoft" by the top-left, and a 'X' by the top-right. For large enough viewports, the 'X' and organic search results are visible. The "Promoted by Microsoft" is visible without scrolling at any size.

Note nevertheless that the journalist has also failed to point out a particular interaction that would support their thesis. For searches that trigger this "promotion", the window immediately scrolls the page so that the promotion is aligned to the top of the viewport, and the search bar in the promotion is focused. (The "Promoted by Microsoft" is visible without scrolling at any size.)

If one is logged in (and on Edge?), this promotion is still present, but as a tiny search box before the organic results.
Remember, MAGAts are a sign of rot and decay
Being charitable you could see that as a tribute to Google to mirror their doodles.
So i can find sources that claim both ;)
I wasn't sure what to believe, and didn't spend more than 5 minutes digging for the real results, so i went with the conservative one.
Can definitely see more than 60, but it varies how much more you can see. For me it seems like diminishing returns beyond 144Hz.

Though some CRT emulation techniques require more than that to scale realistic 'flickering' effects.
Well the most mainstream "news" source Fox news had to pay out almost a billion dollars for dis-information, so the biggest mainstream 'news' (though they did claim in court no one could possibly think they are news so it's ok for them to lie) institution kind of had to apologize.
Agreed. I love public transit. To get to work I can either take ~45 minutes by bus (during which time I read), or 25 minutes by car (during which time I can only loathe that I'm stuck contributing to traffic). That 20 minutes "lost" to drastically improve the other 25 minutes is well worth it.
The Reliability Issue in ReRam-Based CIM Architecture for SNN: A Survey
A medium US city has the commute time of 15 minutes. It's unachievable with transit in any scenario.

> And the way population is distributed, most people live in comparatively dense population centers, across the world.

Yeah. And it sucks. The distributed nature of the US cities gave people far more economic opportunities than in Europe. This resulted in faster economic growth (and still does).
My primary search engine as of now is DDG, Their results are mostly fine (and powered partly by Bing). When their results are not good enough, I ask Google; often, but not always, it's better. For some other kinds of queries, Google fares notably worse than DDG, likely because SEO tricks are disproportionately directed against Google, and not always work against other search engines as effectively.
I appreciate that you made it a one-time payment rather than a subscription service.
Trump seems to have this whole tough guy talk thing that his voters seem to love.

He never does any of it (and arguably most of what he says) but man they eat up the empty tough guy talk.

It's interesting as the usual populist rhetoric and even his core supporters seem like the "darn those politicians they don't do what they say" and yet Trump is that in spades.
Yeah. To be honest, I kind of setup this blog as a joke when the dot zip gTLD came up, as an inside joke with a few fellow security people who (rightfully) are against the ever expanding list of TLDs we have to deal with.
Grew up in Ohio. Always wanted to live in Silicon Valley. Been here 14 years now. Not leaving. But this is happening because of how terrible the California brand has become. Pretending our prestige and brand is the same as it was 20 (or even 10) years ago is not the answer.
FWIW I find LLMs almost useless for writing novel code. Like it can spit out a serviceable UUID generator when I need it, but try writing something with more than a layer or two of recursion and it gets confused. I turn copilot on for boilerplate and off for solving new problems.
Do you have a GitHub repo for this? I'd be interested in reading about it's implementation since we implemented QUIC based hole punching.
Yeah exactly. Plus, sometimes SOMETHING will click the link before it even gets to the person's inbox (some enterprise spam filter with a sandboxed browser for example).

SEEKING WORK / US / HYBRID, REMOTE, AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL

Have you inherited a giant Splunk cluster operating on hundreds of TBs of data, and you're not sure what's in it, or how to leverage what's in it for Business and Operational Intelligence?

Do you have more than one Splunk instance, in cloud, on-prem, a hodge-podge of Elastic, Prometheus, Grafana, and you need to combine their operations across network enclaves?

Do you have logs from devices running not-an-OS? Does rsyslog configuration fill you with dread? It does for me too, but I've written lots of them and integrated them with Splunk.

Do you have data for which you need to enforce compliance, but you're not sure how?

Do you need to build a Splunk cluster from scratch? In a week? Do you have a derelict cluster that needs optimizing, cleanup, a multi-version upgrade?

I'm a Splunk Certified Architect who have worked with Splunk since 2008. I manage multiple clusters of +10TB/day by volume. How can I help?

C definitely does not need this - in fact I would go as far and consider it harmful.

I agree that a feature like this could be useful, but then there are other useful features which should be added too. Where do you stop?
I hope the C standards committee does not succumb to the feature bloat trend we see in many other languages (hand on heart: how many people fully understand/master all of C++/23's features?).

Need proper arrays instead of pointers to contiguous parts of memory which are interpreted as arrays? Proper strings (with unicode)? Etc. - use a different language suitable for the job.

We really need to let go of the notion that complex software must be written in a single language. Use C for the low level stuff where you do not need/want an assembler or where you want full control. For everything else there are more suitable tools.
The ones debating whether this is nefarious or not are the ones ruining the tech industry. This is absolutely nefarious. Whether or not it's a clever path to promotion due to corporate incentives is irrelevant.

I'm curious what part of Microsoft's culture enables these satirically slimy product decisions. In theory, other megacorps should be no better, but somehow they seem to maintain a bar that Microsoft always manages to stoop below

I didn't mean it in a way that absolves him of responsibility. I mean that he purposefully shut out any information that undermined his self-image as a "great man." That's a form of evil. It's worth differentiating that from other kinds of evil, as I believe it may be the most common.
It feels really sad and pathetic when a massive company desperately begs you to do something, not just Microsoft. Please install this! Please don't disable that! Please allow this permission! We really want you to do this! I would say "have some class" but class doesn't make stonk price go up.
