The reason I keep it around on my laptop is mostly because of the snapshotting.

I generally do know my way around Linux command line nowadays, but with Ubuntu and Arch (especially early in my career when I didn't know what I was doing), I would get into states that break the video driver, or break GRUB, or make the machine unstable, and the only thing I could do was reinstall the whole OS.

With NixOS, since it's all declarative, if I end up really breaking something, I can always reboot and choose a previous generation. It makes things a lot less scary for me, I can experiment with and play with different boot parameters and drivers and I know that I won't be stuck spending two hours reinstalling everything. It changes the entire way that I work.

For example, on my current laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad, AMD), I was having an issue with my USB ports idling out, so sometimes the first ~4 seconds of my typing wasn't registering since the USB port had to wake up. The solution involved adding a kernel parameter `usbcore.autosuspend=-1`.

Had this been something like Ubuntu, I have been burned enough trying to add kernel params that I might honestly have just lived with the annoyance because I didn't want to risk everything breaking, but because I knew that there was no actual risk with NixOS, I was able to fix it permanently, and I have the solution committed to Git if I ever have to do this on another computer.
yeah it's just a very strict language, I felt like everything I was typing was wrong (red syntax highlight). I get it though have to want it but also use it. For the moment I'm getting by with JS/Python/C++ some Swift.

It's not that LA used up all its water for the year, but that the flow-rates and pipes etc. just weren't designed for such a rare surge in localized use.
Yeah, there's a tension between showing enough information to be useful for driving decisions and hiding enough information.

For example, "compute capability" sounds like it'd be what you need, but it's actually more of a software versioning index :(

Was thinking of splitting the difference by collecting up the quoted arithmetic (FLOP/s) and memory bandwidths from the manufacturer datasheets. But there's caveats there too, e.g. the dreaded "With sparsity" asterisk on the Tensor Core FLOP/s of recent generations.
> lack of algorithmic curation,

in my view, this is a feature, not a bug
California’s recent wildfire may have a unique set of causes and issues. But I want to remind people that much larger fires take place regularly. Over 20 fires in the US last year were bigger than the Palisades fire but did not receive nearly the same attention even in those states, let alone nationally. We’re talking about Palisades because it took place in richer areas rather than rural ones, and because more houses were destroyed rather than just land and resources.

I encourage people to research the causes of those other non-California fires, because it is not as simple as blaming climate change. You can find research and talks from forest service experts who discuss a wide range of problems - the lack of access roads, the lack of fire breaks, the lack of prescribed burns, the lack of programs to clear dead trees, and so on.

I want to pile on California’s mismanagement and the theater of Newsom or Bass not admitting fault and not talking about common sense prevention measures (like turning off the electric grid). But there is also inaction and ignorance on these topics all across the country, with politicians at every level, and in every party.
Thanks for the 2023 breakdown. That's really what I was asking for (an unpopular question, apparently). Clearly, the amount being asked is a lot more than the 2023 expenses (by about 10x), but comparing with 2024 would give a better idea.

I guess a separate question I would have is what the Foundation actually does - I need to read up more on that. To me, because of the ActivityPub protocol, Mastodon is mostly a client/server piece of SW. Using Mastodon, I can interact with folks on Lemmy, Pleroma, etc and vice versa. It's not a self contained system. Anyone who disagrees with the Foundation can simply fork and pretend the Foundation doesn't exist - while interoperating with Mastodon servers.
The analysis of this EO in these comments is disappointing.

It contains a lot of good stuff, also on geothermal and nuclear; long term storage; improving power transmission infrastructure; attempting to address the impact of AI on electricity rates for regular consumers; improving data transparency and communications of interconnections; improving the permitting flow for critical (clean) infrastructure; and a bunch of other stuff.

The likelihood of it all surviving the incoming administration seem low, but given how it aligns with already present structural trends (and downright critically important needs in terms of power infrastructure at least), there's a good chance some parts will.

It's more an energy policy EO than an AI EO, and it's both ambitious and objectively positive for combating climate change. Maybe we could at least read the damn thing before filling the comments with low effort cynicism?
One example is Finnish legislation: https://finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2004/20040759#L2P4 Sadly only available in Finnish. The law applies both to employees and candidates.

Whether schizotypy is dimensional (you have more or less of it) or taxonic (you have it or you don't) is a primary controversy. One fact is that the 'schizogene' postulated by Meehl which would make it taxonic certainly does not exist or efforts to find it would have born fruit in the genomic age.

The dimensional view is personified by Gordon Claridge who edited a few conference proceedings which may be closer to the truth but fail to tell a compelling story. You might read these and walk away thinking "nothing more to see here folks"

This monograph

https://www.amazon.com/Schizotypy-Schizophrenia-View-Experim...

by Mark Lenzenweger tells a compelling story that might be less true. My life made 100% more sense the day it fell into my hands after decades of looking for answers.

I don't really like the DSM definition of STPD; today I could mark up my first psych eval with a highlighter and add a few symptoms I've experience sense and satisfy it, but as a person who reads about psychodiagnosis for fun I read it and missed it numerous times. (Also despite my condition causing me a lot of trouble, I don't feel like I'm really that ill.) If Lenzenweger is right, it could be diagnosed by an eye tracking test.

As for school uniforms I think they have some good points and some bad points. As a kid they might have done me some good but I probably would have been resistant, as I was to many things. And for bullying I'll share

> Latency-based geolocation can help protect poll integrity by:

> Detecting when poll responses originate from outside the intended geographic region
> Identifying attempts to manipulate polls through elevated VPN/proxy usage

Unless the user also needs to complete a reaction-time test, couldn't this be defeated by using a remote desktop connection to a machine that is physically located in the other geography?

It just shifts which functions need to run on the proxy, from network routing to the browser itself.
A small relatively unknown company outside of more popular job markets will not get huge numbers of applicants to posts on a random job board. That doesn't make those posts malicious on the company's part. It's just a relatively illiquid market.

They may need other help to find a candidate, e.g. recruiters. But that's a different topic than the OP, which is about "online job postings"

For all I shit relentlessly on this country and its culture, it's still an extremely attractive place to live if you're well-situated to make money. (Most people are not—hence my contempt for how the society functions. This presumably DOES apply to an "Einstein", if indeed this Einstein wants money.) China still has a way to go in catering to and granting citizenship (or some amenable equivalent) to foreigners.
I had the same experience as you. But now, if you go to preferences, there's an option to disable "advanced web interface". If you uncheck that, you get the simpler view.

Of course, the thing now being called the advanced interface used to just be the default.
I get what scop meant. Family vehicles had cassette or 8-track players when I was a kid and I figured out how to use my parents' record player, but for the purposes of what he was getting at, CDs are a more "analog" experience than streaming music, and give you a feel for what playing an album is like. You have to physically put in and remove the disc to change the music, whereas streaming gives you any song at your fingertips.
No the issue with activities that constrain supply is that they might constrain more supply than the explicit units impacted by the policy.
Nah, even the wedding cake was an issue. The city of Lakewood set aside that area of the market for commercial business. The citizens of Lakewood financially support the government. The government grants them access and ensures that the cakes are safe for everyone to eat not just straight people.

What's interesting about them is that if you microwave your food, you get fewer of them[1]. That's because they are primarily produced by the mallard reaction which is caused by food, such as bread, getting toasted[2]. The worst foods for this are barbecued stuff.

I like the idea of vinyl for kids too, because of how tactile it is, but man, begin with a cheap player and cheap records. No matter how old they are, they will play with it like a toy.

The good news is my father's old slightly warped prog rock records are finally getting a lot of use.
A good use for this is people wanting to try an RPG, but not having a bunch of people to do that with. A parent wanting to try out this D&D thing so he or she can run it with the kids, for example.

> With DevOps, if you can automate it, you should automate it.

I couldn't agree less with this. At this point the whole "DevOps" industry is fueled by consultancies who make a great living from convincing business leaders that this is true. Focusing on defining clear processes for recurring events and building the fundamental building blocks that allows you to automate when it's absolutely needed should be the method, not spending more time writing Terraform.

Wifi is tricky and I seem to have lost the code that made that video work and I reflashed with old code that doesn't work :(

Back to the drawing board
K(x) is the Kolmogorov complexity of x, i.e., the length of the shortest program that halts and outputs x, typically defined with respect to a universal Turing machine.

I(x : y) = K(x) + K(y) - K(x, y) is the mutual algorithmic information of two strings. It is the algorithmic equivalent to Shannon's mutual information. No algorithm f can increase the mutual algorithmic information between two strings, i.e. ∀f I(x : f(y)) ≤ I(x : y) + O(log(K(f))).

I used "data" to denote any collection of interesting data at all. For example, it could be data obtained from the real world, the observed behavior of Turing machines at very long timescales, or a collection of mathematical proofs. By "ZFC" I just mean the description of any program that enumerates all proofs of ZFC.

The takeaway here is that ZFC is very limited in what it can say about real world data or even what it can say about almost all deterministic computations, including those with very short programs. Levin describes this much better than I could in his famous "Forbidden Information" paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0203029.

Levin further argues that extending PA is unlikely... I tend to disagree on that point. How did we get the more powerful theory of ZFC or any of these axioms in the first place then? They are coming from somewhere. But I'm not even going to attempt to debate Levin's case on Hacker News haha

The compound: state hate crime victim numbers

So except for the state turning into governmental makes everything a genitive case. I didn't notice the relationship until translating

In your example, there's presumably a strong correlation between the users' (and their wealth) and their spending habits. That said, we probably could infer some things about the general population from that group. For one, they are part of the population. Two, there will be some similarities between their group and the complement of their group because humans have similar needs (e.g. groceries, gas, etc.). If you took this as your prior for the supergroup, then you would be more accurate than if you took a random number.

There are no doubt differences between women on Okcupid and women in the general dating population. But in your example, we have a clear reason for believing that wealth is correlated with spending habits. If there is a reason why you believe Okcupid users should be as correlated with poor evaluation of the typical man, then it is at least not clear to me. Once again, using this data is likely far better than taking a random guess at how women in general evaluate the typical man.
Yes. Software gets good because of investment, both money and time. I want to see Mastodon improve and succeed.
My takeaway from this was to consider not only the food product of choice, but the cooking method. It may be the cooking method is more important than the food choices themselves?

Perhaps, if you are a vegetarian that eats lots of fried, sauteed, or roasted vegetables (chasing umami), you might be no better off than a non-vegetarian who is consuming predominantly raw, steamed, or boiled animal products.

Anecdotally, this would correlate with the many obese or poorly nourished vegetarians I have known, despite their "healthy" diet.

In any event, we should all be eating more fiber.
Haha, I didn't know that one! It's consistent with OpenAI's conception of a "random" dice roll :-D.
Joke appart, I'm quite convinced many people would not find 1 or 6 to look "random" enough to be chosen as an example dice roll.
It's worth explicitly stating that you (often?) don't get hotel rewards when your stays are booked through a third party.

This isn't the case with airline miles; you get them either way, it seems. But there are often other benefits (eg, you get 5x miles if you book with your airline credit card directly through the airline).
Has this been tested, or is it just an idea. I imagine it would have some very serious limitations. Perhaps it could tell if you are likely in the US or Europe, but I doubt could get much more granular than that.

Starlink internet customers, and users of Apple's private relay (vpn-like service) would all be excluded?
Sure, but it's worth inquiring why the jobs left in the first place.

There's probably a few hundred reasons, but I think the core one was "manufacturing in China is cheaper because labor is cheaper."

Even if China starts demanding better worker protection (and they should! I am actually fine with my products costing more if I have a guarantee that the workers were treated well), I think that there's still a reasonably high chance that manufacturing would still move to another developing country that doesn't.
Good question. Yes they can play. The main absolute no-go activity with friends is something with exploration on the internet. That includes things like YT kids. But, hey you want to play Smash Bros even though we don’t at home, sure have fun!

These are not hard and fast rules, more of a system. Our youngest plays video games much younger than our oldest kid, since we have video games in the house now and didn’t with your first. However, I still make sure my youngest is getting plenty of tactile/analog play in as the majority of time spent.
This would all be a solid argument if home schooled kids didn’t significantly outperform public school kids.

"Successfully manipulating a poll which employs this method would require following efforts and resources:

Only a small subset of the IPs has proxies on them, so it would be detectable if a disproportionate amount of traffic is coming from them.
Exactly. How is there an entire alarmist article and 165 comments on this thread. This comment, and it's legitimacy/factualness, is the only thing worth discussing.

`sub` _IS_ the immutable reliable identifier. If it's not, (1) I want to see actual proof, not an anonymous rando (sorry, but this thread re-inforces how little I trust context-less comments like that), and (2) I'd want to hear a convincing argument that ... `sub2` would actually be less mutable.

Threads like this make me really question other peoples' general comprehension skills.
I’m not an environmental lawyer, but you don’t think these will be subject to NEPA? It sounds like they’re trying to piggy-back off land that was made available for solar projects under an existing EIS, but it sounds that those decisions could be litigated.
Would not suggest vinyl for kids. That's a needle on the record player, it scratches everything up. Not easy to aim the arm to the beginning of the track.

Tapes are more foolproof. If you put them in the wrong way, the player won't close. And even though you can damage the actual tape part by mishandling it, you're not all that likely to do so.

Binary blobs can be easily reproducible, depending on how they’re built. By comparison, the “easily” part doesn’t apply to any non-trivial Docker image.

The issue is that you have to lock down all your dependencies, including local data, repos, and registries. Most people, and even most companies, don’t have the resources to achieve that, so they simply don’t do it.

Further, Docker doesn’t provide any significant mechanisms to help ensure reproducibility in the face of these issues, so you can’t say that Docker supports reproducibility.
