What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced
Similarly I went on an XP odyssey late last year. I acquired a retired workstation from $dayjob that I decided to turn into a retro XP game machine. It was very late for XP but within a generation or two before Intel, Nvidia and the motherboard provided drivers (Ivy bridge and GTX 660 GPU).

But that didn't get you through the installer... I discovered a plethora of alternative install media with built in community drivers providing support for nvme drives, modern ACPI extensions etc.

It's so complete you can install it on today's current hardware.
A world without any legal protection for novel ideas or creative works is a world that does not share them freely.

That is why copyright law was originally created. Without it, there is little incentive to invest in the creation or disemmination of the works in the first place.

Edit: I am not defending the current form of those laws. The time period is too long for one thing. But removing it entirely would be a bad idea, IMHO.
I think this is an astute observation. It feels like everyone except the people with the money have realized this stuff is garbage.

I never played Arma, to be fair. I always gravitated more toward the "brain-rot" games! But you're right of course, realistic games use more realistic ballistic models (and everything else).

One reason I never got too into the simulator games was that the line between "real" and "game" is always going to be very arbitrary. No simulator will replicate the experience of slogging over a marshy mountain carrying 100 lbs and a GPMG! The Onion said it best:

You just made that up, didn't you
While NixOS goes a bit further with it, most other distrubtions also compile everything from source, cryptographically verify that the sources they use are not tampered with, and have versioned dependencies between packages. Debian also has reproducible builds.

The problem is just that the build systems did not strip pre-compiled object files before building from source. Even with that fixed, if nobody checks the source code then you can add all the backdoors you want, and there is nothing in NixOS or any other distro that would protect against that.
The markup was something like ai = bj + ck + dl where i,j,k,l were superscripts.
But there was a theta in there somewhere.

Sorry, I should've taken a screenshot.
People open their phone, order a car, take a ride from an arbitrary point within the geofenced area, to another arbitrary point inside that area. Within that area. they're handling real life conditions. dogs and children running into the street, bicyclists, moving trucks blocking streets, construction. Other cars. Maybe that's not enough for you, but that's not a carefully staged tech demo with a car driving a loop around a fixed track at Disneyland that's gonna break the moment it has to deviate beyond what you're allowed to touch. Unless you think Waymo is paying all the drivers in LA drivers to drive different around their cars, I guess.

If the tokomak was energy positive for those 22 minutes, there was more than one of them, and they were running it multiple times a day then I would say it is. But it's not. I'm not sure why you have this need to lump them together. Fusion is quite a different problem, with yet to be solved materials science problems and control systems issues. I'm not claiming that fusion's here, and also I don't think quantum computers are gonna be here anytime soon.
If the pigs don't want to be referred to as pigs any more, they should push their unions to fight for yeeting the bad apples out of the force for good instead of just hiring those who behaved so utterly braindead that IA had no choice but to yeet them in the next town.

At the moment pigs can break the law and abuse their authority any way they please with barely any chance of getting even a slap on the wrist - and even if they kill someone, chances are high they'll either get off entirely on "reasonable fear" or they'll get pardoned.

But such an improvement in efficiency would surely reduce fuel costs, which matter a lot to consumers, though maybe not in the US where it’s cheap.
A lot of that is what I had in mind. Things like for...of and let fix glaring problems by introducing new things instead of changing to maintain backwards compatibility.

A lot of the fixes are just removing the old broken way of doing things.

I'd still probably change 'for x of ...' to implicitly be 'const x' and require let if you are doing shenanigans with changing the values.

I am surprisingly ok with null and undefined. Null means not a thing, undefined means there is not even the notion of the thing.

I'm pretty sure there are more than three ways to declare a variable.

x=5
let x=5
var x=5
window.x=5
window["x"]=5 //arguably the same as above.
Object.defineProperty(window,"x",{value:5})
Object.assign(window,{x:5})

at least

Is your app open source? What do you use for the offline conversion that gives you better quality than the ElevenReader app?

Interested to try it out.
I am hazy on the details but my instructor briefly told us that the 1979 edition had better problems and had topics for the advanced undergraduate. The major thing for us as students was that the 1979 was much shorter to use and concise to the point of being a good handbook.

(We do Theory of Computation/Formal Language and Automata Theory as a dual sem course meant to be both a junior and a senior class and thus the 1st edition suits the course better.)

> LLMs are token predictors. That's all they do.

That's a disingenuous statement, since it implies there is a limit to what LLMs can do, when in reality an LLM is just a form of Universal Turing Machine[1] that can compute everything that is commutable. The "all they do" is literately everything we know to be doable.

[1] Memory limits do apply as with any other form of real world computation.
I'm not even sure what it would look like for CLI tools. Probably the sanboxing tools themselves need better controls and better UX for those controls.

For CLI a solution would probably look a lot like unshare or (a more user friendly version of) setcap. The user would need to reach out to the sandbox to communicate what additional things to permit during this specific session.

And then inevitably someone would configure the equivalent of passwordless sudo at which point I wonder what the point of the whole thing was to begin with. Related, we need a better paradigm for CLI to differentiate between user versus programmatically generated input. A program shouldn't be able to impersonate me unless I explicitly granted it some extremely unusual privileges.
> he is still acknowledging the power of the court to bind or compel action, or at least making the pretext of doing so

He claims to fight for free speech. Yet he kicks and screams with every ruling decrying his actions illegal in America. Meanwhile, while Turkey asks him to stop his free speaking, crickets. That is the hypocrisy. He doesn’t stand for free speech. He stands for himself.

You’re still muddling Elon with his beards. What Twitter or Tesla do on their own is almost orthogonal to our modern Caligula’s preferences when he commands them.
You are holding Christianity in higher regard. It is as equally (in)valid as horoscopes and Buddhism.

Humans are pattern matchers and will identify patterns where there are none. Faces in clouds, mountain outcrops, etc. this lends itself to superstition. Nothing is special about Christianity aside from being regionally popular.
I’m conflicted about your comment. On one hand, I agree, useless reductions are boring. But on the other, we are living in the “overselling all up in your ears” epoch, which is known to sell pffts as badabooms. So it isn’t baffling to me that a new tech gets old quickly, because it’s not really what was advertised. Our decades-old ideas of AI weren’t feasible a decade ago, but neither are these now. Those who believe in that too much become hu.ma.ne founders and similar self-bullshitters.
> Two other studies, one by GSK, a pharmaceutical company, and another by a group of academics in Britain, also reported that a newer “recombinant” vaccine, which is more effective at preventing shingles than the live version, appeared to confer even greater protection against dementia.

"confer" is something you use for a proven link with an interventional study, not for some random link you found within the thousands of variables you went fishing for in your observation study dataset.

See System Reply, the Chinese Room is a pseudo problem begging the question rooted in nothing more than human exceptionalism. If you start with the assumption that humans are the only thing in the universe able to "understand" (whatever that means), then of course the room can't understand (except for every reasonable definition of "understanding" it does).
I think the solution is going to take the form of synthetic mirror neurons, if we can ever successfully replicate those.
Well, i have made $15M+ worth of business from Upwork and from people who i met there (over 15 years, but peaked at almost $3M last year). That certainly isn't/wasn't an insignificant thing. I am not sure i can agree with your statement that it only represents a race to the bottom kind of thing. Right now it appears to be true but wasn't at all true just a year ago.

And i can't think of a way i could do it in any different way.

I like the way Pon-a put it elsewhere in this thread:

> LLMs are a language calculator, yes, but don't share much with their analog. Natural language isn't a translation from input to output, it's a manifestation of thought.

LLMs translate input to output. They are, indeed, calculators. If you don't already see that that's different from having a thought and expressing it in language, I don't think I'm going to convince you otherwise here.
> how paying just a bit more for meat or eggs drastically improves animals' living conditions

It does not. Farms will happily eat the additional earnings and wont improve animals living conditions just because they have money. What improves animal living conditions are regulations and their actual enforcement. That may raise cost of the meat, sure. But just paying more wont improve nothing.

I think the Chinese room is actually correct. The CUDA cores running a model don't understand anything, the neuron cells in our brain don't understand anything either.

Where inteligence actually lies is in the process itself, the interactions of the entire chaotic system brought all together to create something more than the sum of its parts. Humans get continuous consciousness given our analog hardware, digital only gets momentary bursts of it when each feedforward is ran.

It isn't a pseudo problem. In this case, it's a succinct statement of exactly the issue you're ignoring, namely the fact that great poets have minds and intentions that we understand. LLMs are language calculators. As I said elsewhere in this thread, if you don't already see the difference, nothing I say here is going to convince you otherwise.

The situation reminds me of the Nazis banning Jewish lawyers with the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" (Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums) just weeks after their Machtergreifung.
Even the naming isn't far off Trump's executive orders like "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court"[1] or "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness".

Tax consultants were the Nazis next target, in case you wonder who Trump might look out for. Banning actors from screen and stage will happen next year...

Academic peer review? That system can go away. I care about facts and proof of those facts, I don’t care about some academic’s opinion of another academic’s paper. We have t solved for the alternative yet, but peer review has led us to some ridiculous unscientific dishonesty, a reproducibility crises, and other adventurers because we assume the peers have an incentive for truth.

They're cheap and abundant on the secondhand market, but they certainly aren't large or black. To get your longed-for "big, black display" you might need to rewind the vertical deflection coil on a CRT TV tube; magnetic deflection is going to inherently have more difficulty with high frequencies, but it still routinely reached hundreds of kilohertz in mass-market computer monitors.

So, I believe you can get the BBD you are dreaming of. The hardest part is filling the CRT with vacuum, and that's free; people charge to haul away CRTs.

Well again, when does “meddling“ starts and when does “provide good conditions for a thriving civilisation” starts. I think I want the government to chase criminals. Although I agree that movies piracy is really low on my list of priorities when it comes to criminals.

But instead of DNS they should actually simply delete the files. It’s so simple, yet no one does it. All these forums host the files (except torrent) on some server. In general, the providers serving the file will happily delete it if asked to, they don’t want to host illegal stuff.

This article claims that only 5% of hinge users find a long-term partner on the app:

> The stats are bleak. Industry-wide, only about 10% of users find a long-term partner. Hinge? Roughly 5%.

However, this is not what their linked source says:

> Tinder is also the most successful matchmaker, with 29.6% of respondents engaged or married to a partner from the app. Bumble and Hinge trail behind at 12.9% and 5%, respectively.

5% of survey respondents were engaged or married to someone from hinge. This reflects the relative popularity of the different apps, not your odds of finding love on them.

The part of these sort of conversations that makes me wary is this understanding that "Alzheimer's" is a disease with a single cause. I think it is beyond question that some viruses trigger Alzheimer's, because viruses can do pretty much anything. The real question that they're studying is to what extent do viruses cause Alzheimer's. If it turns out that most Alzheimer's cases are a Herpes symptom then that sounds big.

Doctor are great if you have a serious infection, broken arm or need surgery due to physical trauma.

But 95% of them are incompetent and even mock you when you try to solve autoimmune-like issue with food, insiste food has nothing to do with it.

Yet they cannot solve them.

Real life examples like this and thusands of others (eg carnivore or keto) are proof of that.

For example revero has tons on success testimones and you can find more on youtube.

https://carnivore.diet/category/success-stories/page/3/

People also healed them on a diet "opposite" of carnivore, eg ~30 to 40 day juice fast, or a smoothie diet recommended by Dr Goldner. Also look up Rob Stuart on youtube.

Different people will need different approaches, obviously there is positive bias since you only see healed people but the fact that you can find thousands of these reports obviously means that it works for many people. It also solves the root problem instead of you pumping you with immunosuppresants and trash like that.
Loose typing strikes again.

I understand the temptation of "Let's just use an int return type, that way later on we can easily let them indicate different flavours of error if we want". But then you leave yourself open to this.

The full-BDSM approach is for every component Foo that works with callbacks like this to define its own FooResult type with no automatic type conversions to it. In C, enum suffices, though a determined idiot can just cast to override; using FooResult as defined below makes it harder to accidentally do the wrong thing:

enum FooResultImpl { FOO_SUCCESS_IMPL, FOO_FAILURE_IMPL };

struct FooResult {
enum FooResultImpl USE_A_CONVERSION_FUNCTION_INSTEAD_OF_ACCESSING_THIS_DIRECTLY;
} FOO_SUCCESS = { FOO_SUCCESS_IMPL }, FOO_FAILURE = { FOO_FAILURE_IMPL };

(Yes, it's still possible to get an erroneous value in there at initialisation time without having to type out "USE_A_CONV..." -- but this is C, you can only do so much. You can't even prevent a FooResult variable from containing uninitialised garbage...)
