This feels like the 80s/90s when people hacking assembly or finding undocumented instructions to squeeze CPU for performance. Until one day either the compiler will be highly optimized enough or the GPU will be so powerful that such tricks won’t make much difference anymore, like CPUs nowadays :D
Döpfner: Are you upset if the Post journalists are writing critical stories about Amazon?

Bezos: No, I’m not upset at all.

Döpfner: Did or would you ever interfere?

Bezos: Never. I would be humiliated to interfere. I would be so embarrassed. I would turn bright red. It has nothing to do with … I don’t even get so far… I just don’t want to. It would feel icky; it would feel gross. It would be one of those things when I’m 80 years old I would be so unhappy with myself if I had interfered. Why would I? I want that paper to be independent. We have a fantastic editor in Marty Baron. We have a fantastic publisher in Fred Ryan. The head of our technology team, a guy named Shailesh, is fantastic. They don’t need my help in the newsroom for sure. First of all, that’s also an expert’s job. It would be like me getting on the airplane and going up to the front of the plane and saying to the pilot, “You should move aside — let me do this!”

Ok sure but let’s zoom out a bit.

Both sides have 10 guys. Let’s say one of them puts 10 in a stack. The other splits into 5/5 to tackle two nearby objectives.

In death stack civ games the 10 stack can just instantly swallow the 5’s without suffering much in the way of losses.

Alternatively you have two cities to defend. You have 9 units vs. their 10 and would win if defending from walls or lose if they fight in the field. Does it really make sense that you have no option but to let them take a city for free because you can’t split your defenses to any effect? Nah.

Humankind’s combat is simply far more elegant. If you attack the 5, the nearby 5 can reinforce them. The combat also takes time. So if a small force can hold off a large force at a defensible choke point or maybe a walled city you can buy time for your other troops to arrive at the battle. The focus on gamey movement points and timing of inputs is gone.

The actual original meaning (and the one that still makes sense) of free markets was “free from economic rent” as sections of the economy were monopolies granted by the king.

Those free markets really did benefit the people and the country. And they were compatible with taxes and tariffs.

Bezos is using the corrupted modern meaning, “free to charge economic rent” because he wants amazon to capture a greater share of global economic activity
I will second p5/processing as a fun tool. It's really a pretty easy and way to get into generative art. P5.js has an online editor which makes it easy.

> a population left to fight an outbreak through natural immunity will be stronger in the end.

Most people get the flu multiple times during their lives already. When is this natural immunity supposed to kick in and stop the elderly and infirm from dying from it?

Hell, why didn't this natural immunity protect the hundreds of millions of people who died prior to the introduction of vaccines from reoccurring outbreaks over the millennia? Never mind those who suffered lifetime disabilities from deafness to warped limbs.
You can see why there's an attraction to visiting the casino, as well.
Vaccines reinforce natural immunity.

So to be clear you’re arguing let’s kill a whole bunch of people to “increase” the population’s strength, although you express some mild concern about the “cost” of doing that? Is that the argument here?

I'd actually like to see the Greens and the Libertarians get together and run a candidate. Oliver (Libs) got 650,126, and Stein got 862,049. Put em together and you've got enough voters to actually have a reasonable chance of grass roots momentum, exponential involvement, compounding returns on capital / effort, large donor buy-ins, numbers that meet news media minima for free coverage, and long-term viability.

The Green's usually are identified as being libertarian socialism anyways, so it would not be a horrible cooperation to hang out with Libertarians and discuss how to make environmentalism; nonviolence; and social justice work with civil liberties; non-interventionism; and laissez-faire capitalism.

And then they could state that they're not a spoiler, since they draw voters relatively equally from what might otherwise be Democrats and Republicans.

CNN definitely isn't left leaning. Debatably even MSNBC is largely more liberal than left leaning.

As I see it we have one major right wing news network in America in the form of Fox; along with some smaller ones like One News Network and talk radio. We have several centrist news networks like CNN and ABC. We have several neo-liberal news sources like the New York Times.

However, we have no truly left wing mainstream news and only one major network (MSNBC) that is marginally left wing.

So it seems to me that America's media is biased towards the right whether you are counting number of outlets or number of viewers.

Is there a philosopher or philosophical school that identifies intelligence as a being's capacity to deploy a capability towards some end with intention? If so, what is this called? Or who is associated with it?

Edit: I'd expect this thinker/school also to argue that the being needs to be able to experience its intention as an intention (as opposed to a dumb, inarticulate urge); in other words, intelligence would require an agent to be aware of itself as an intelligent agent.

Edit 2: I strongly recommend Peter Watts' Blindsight to anybody who's on the market for sci fi that deals with these issues.
Sailboat owners were early adopters of photovoltaics in order to avoid having to run generators. Some newer merchant ships have installed photovoltaics to supply part of the hotel load and maybe save a tiny amount of fuel, but that's a newer development and probably more of a "greenwashing" thing.
You'd have to feed it all of Twitch chat correlated to whatever frame was being streamed at the time and adjusted for network jitter and buffering.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. MSNBC tends to advocate for liberal positions which, while on the left side of right wing, is still a right wing position. You don't see them advocating much for social democracy let alone more extreme forms of socialism.
Yes, both false positives and false negatives like the one you mentioned happens when the schema is sometimes ill-defined. Making name optional via `name: str | None` actually turns out ensure that the model only fills it if it’s certain that field exists.

> which I understand is a bit further in an IP rights grey area than emulating a 30 year old game

But Nintendo will never take down anything that is related to Showdown because it would highlight their massive hypocrisy!

It would set a precedent. People would go: "wait, but why did they never take down Showdown itself? Could it be that it's because they actually benefit from its existence? Then why did they take down X/Y/Z? Oh! It's because copyright law only applies when you want it to! It's all arbitrary and made up! You just need to be friends with the right people in the VGC and your pet project will be immune from all legal backlash!"

Or something.

Seriously I hate it so fucking much that Nintendo does nothing about Showdown, which blatantly steals a ton of game assets, and then nukes some random guy's fan project that no one ever played.

You could probably sink plates of some thermally conducting material into the regolith itself?

American culture has a complex and ambivalent relationship with the indigenous tribes. On one hand, they were treated poorly in many regards. On the other hand, American culture has always had a tremendous amount of respect for many aspects of their ethos — they weren’t viewed as alien. Many of the most successful military commanders of the indigenous tribes achieved celebrity in America and world-wide fame even though they killed many Americans and ultimately could not prevail against the American forces.

The best of them were very intelligent badasses, and Americans respect that enormously, independent of the outcomes. Their loss was inevitable but the way they prosecuted that conflict earned respect from the victors. This is the bittersweet reality that their modern descendants must live with.

I grew up among them and loved it.

But looking now I'm also seeing "due to heavy lobbying by the pharma industry, including the US pharmaceutical companies" as to why it hasn't been shut down. But I stand corrected.
Many of the problems we face stem directly from inequality itself. For example, the rich have dramatically greater say in our "democracy" due to their ability to fund politicians and lobbyists. They are above the law due to their ability to hire expensive lawyers and shield themselves through corporations. They can use the law as a weapon due to their ability to sue people who can't afford to fight back. Some of them are rich enough to avoid the consequences of destroying huge swaths of society (i.e. Musk with Twitter).
Stock assets were still made by humans, even if the effects of a poopular stock asset remain similar.

Do you think "diamond in the rough" games exist?

Some claim that there are games that are hidden gems that haven't received the recognition they deserve.

Other claim they have never seen a generally good game that didn't have generally good success.

What is your view?

I think some games are good within their niche, but their niche sucks. Something like a hardcore roguelike with ASCII graphics. Within the hardcore roguelike niche, the ASCII game might be "good" and have some interesting new mechanics, good execution, etc; but within the entire gaming industry, classic roguelikes with ASCII graphics are outdated, they "suck". Some will say the ASCII roguelike is underappreciated, but only because they over-appreciate the niche.

I'd like to believe that a generally good game guarantees at least some success.

Feedback from the Postgres community about the vector index benchmarks
Vaccines attempt to induce natural immunity not reinforce it. This is precisely why vaccines are less effective for those with preexisting conditions and immune disorders - their immune system can't as easily respond to and learn from the vaccine. An effective vaccine stimulates the immune system after introducing enough material similar to the natural pathogen that the immune system can learn to respond to it. I could just be misunderstanding your meaning hear, but "reinforce" sounds to me more like an additional layer of defence - a beam reinforcing a homes foundation is adds additional strength to existing beams rather than making the existing beams themselves stronger.

I'm not arguing that we kill anyone. You're implying that choosing not to intervene with vaccines is murder, which I would disagree with, but even then I left open the door for that cost to not be worth it.

My argument here was simply that if vaccines aren't used, as happened for effectively all of natural history, the population remaining (assuming some remain) is stronger for it.

That doesn't meant we should choose not to administer vaccines if we have them and they are proven safe and effective. That also does not mean that we should actively kill anyone, eugenics is a pretty messed up idea.

It appears that they have really good toolings so they can focus on hiring really smart new grads and giving them a lot of leeway on choosing what to work on without worrying about how productive they will be. One particular memorable response when the CEO Liang was asked about not using KPI goes roughly like this: since we all reviewd and worked with the candidate, if he is not productive it must be our fault to not have given him the right support to make him productive.

The article is pretty good making you rethink all your preexisting concepts of Mind/Intelligence based on what we know from Biology today.
