@badlogicgames Look at the proposal and timeline. Nothing of this is "finished" or will be concrete before 2028.

@EU_Commission This discussion started at the beginning of 2025. And you are looking at 2028. This is too slow. Much too slow.

We are introducing EU Inc. To make building and growing a business across the EU faster, simpler, and smarter.
🔸 Start a company in less than 48 hours
🔸 No minimum capital requirement
🔸 Fully online and borderless

@CostasAnest @peterrhague @Liv_Boeree Basic nociception is not suffering or pain. Speaking of which: crabs go beyond this and are amongst animals that can actually feel pain or pain-like experiences. I.e. they do not just act on stimulus reflexes.
English
@peterrhague @Liv_Boeree "Meaningfully suffer" does a lot of legwork here. We suffer from outside stimuli, hormones as those are interpreted in our brains. The stimuli and hormones exist in many animals. We don't know how they experience it mentally, but we can't be sure they don't suffer "meaningfully".

I’m increasingly convinced our final judgment will be whether we used our time on Earth to stop the atrocities our species commits upon ourselves and our fellow beings

@NerdShinobi @IceSolst Basically, a Miata is the bubbly, cute girl from school. An RX7, and to a lesser degree RX8, are her brothers. Both have massive issues with multi substance abuse, anger issues, and breakdowns. But the whole family is fun at parties.
English
@NerdShinobi @IceSolst In that case, get an rx7 or rx8.
English
Idk how to convey the emotional significance of a Miata to future generations

We lost the technology, and now reinvent it.

C'mon IRC was notoriously unreliable. Lag, consistency guarantees were garbage. You'd hop around 20 EFNET servers trying to find a good one. All us 90s kids remember it. Definitely was not a solved problem back then. We just accepted shittier solutions becuase we weren't paying for them.

10 years ago, it was considered technically impossible for a company like Slack to build a chat room that could serve 30K users simultaneously.
Today this is a standard problem given in a system design interview in Big Tech for a Staff+ engineer.
Benjamin Booth@benjaminbooth
@GergelyOrosz Slack could not scale to 30K people in a single ‘townhall’ which had become a cultural hallmark at the time. HipChat was our only tool for eng on call at the time of our rocket growth but its mobile app would go down for multiple hours at a time, frequently.

@NOTimothyLottes Tho, if you want to make more than the efficiency argument, I don't think morphological AA is really the best example. Static CNN graphs approximate that well and "reasonably" fast. Pick sdf raymarch if you want a harder case.
English
@NOTimothyLottes I mean ok. You have essentially a logic/pattern matching algorithm.
Tensor cores do dense math.
Therefore tensor cores are the wrong hardware.
English
Lets talk about the ML koolaid. Somehow it isn't obvious to sheeple that having {a fixed hierarchical network of fixed low precision matrix multiplies feed into a fixed non-linear operator} isn't necessarily the best most efficient solution to all of the worlds problems.
English
@Gr8b8P @Old_Tobold @sleepy_devo That is a very narrow constitutional / US legalese view. E.g. you absolutely have an entitlement wrt emergency medical treatment under EMTALA. If you choose to call it a "right" is a purely semantic distinction.
English
@Old_Tobold @sleepy_devo That’s correct. A right is something the government can’t take away from you.
English
the west is absolutely the good guys and its not even close.
pick any other world power, give them the raw strength of america, and watch the world go to shit.
The Left Wing Society@LeftWingSociety
I finally understand just why the rest of the world hates the USA & Britain. We aren’t the good guys, are we?
English
@sleepy_devo @Old_Tobold But even the US implements many positive rights / statutory entitlements that require policy and are implemented as law. The US just opts to not put them right in the constitution.
English
@sleepy_devo @Old_Tobold It can be a positive right that requires / is state policy basically. Practicality of that position is another topic.
English
@Old_Tobold @sleepy_devo Article 25 covers access to food. The US just doesn't do many legally binding things that are basically positive rights / require policy. If you look at the number of countries that ratified e.g. ICESCR and do fuck nothing concretely, that might be a sensible position.

@NOTimothyLottes Is this ragebait? CNNs implement maxpooling explicitly, and e.g. RelU can be used to implement min max reduction indirectly in a trivial way?
English
Ask an ML network to do non-linear logic (like MIN and MAX reduction trees that are common in things like morphological processing for AA), yeah those fixed matrix multiplies are just dead weight, also ML sucks at that, better to just use the min3 and max3 shader ops.
English
@jstrocchi @VladVexler Yes, but if you predict the correct conclusion based on erroneous causal reasoning, your prediction is still just a lucky guess.
English
@VladVexler Mearsheimer argued Ukraine war was driven by UA preference to be a US client state through nato expansion, rather than neutrality as mandated:
1. 1990 USSR-US "not one inch eastwards"
2. 1991 UA constitution
Istanbul Accords proved Mearsheimer was right, it was all about NATO.
English
No, Mearsheimer did not predict the Ukraine war. Prediction has to be causally substantive. Mearsheimer said the war would happen for national security reasons. It happened for regime security reasons, supplemented by a dollop of mystical collective self-realisation.
Collingwood 🇬🇧@admcollingwood
@Talleyrand1738 He predicted in 2014 what would happen if the west did not change its policy. It didn't. What he said would happen happened. Which part of that is getting things wrong?

@thdxr There is also an interesting amount of "technologists" (or some variation thereof), with an apparently deep resentment towards developers.
English
@dcolascione @reichswanderer Don't have a hard preference for either. I would much prefer a uniform solution, that is also closed. The downside of the dual approach is people claiming correctness, when they are really ignoring a complete error class.
English
@FloatngUpstream @reichswanderer Indeed, but as you indicate, the closedness of a function's error channel is orthogonal to whether we spell that error channel as a sum type or as nonlocal control flow. I'm still of the opinion the latter leads to clearer programs.
English
Few realize how badly Rust bungled its error handling. You pay for both error objects and exceptions without gaining the predictability of the former or the clarity benefits of the latter. The availability of panic=abort means lowest common denominator code. Then there's unwrap.
English
@reichswanderer @dcolascione Effect systems in general. Several languages implement *something* like this, Java's checked exceptions are a very limited version. Monads come close, but are also not sufficient. Practically, Ada/Spark contacts are the most complete solution that I am ware of.
English
@FloatngUpstream @dcolascione these are actually very valid concerns. i don't know that rust will ever be able to fully implement this, because it involves reasoning about code outside rust. that being said, i don't really know any other language that implements this, you see?
