Maybe something like quantum mechanics are an "optimization" of the sim, i.e the sim doesn't actually compute the locations, spin etc of subatomic particles but instead just uses probabilities to simulate it. Only when a consciousness decides to look more closely does it retroactively decide what those properties really were.

Kind of like how video games won't render the full resolution textures when the character is far away or zoomed out.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have thought this.

Wow, it's crazy to see this comment because I drive the same type of car and recently experienced a similar problem.

The car was dead for long enough that I could get it towed to the mechanic and they educed it was a problem with the EIS (electronic ignition system).

The EIS computer was sent off to mercedes for diagnosis, they reported that the computer itself was fine but it was an issue with power. The mechanics traced it back to a bad connection of a wire somewhere.

My own grandma doesn't know what encryption/HTTP/TLS etc are. I think for those who are uninformed it's a sane default to not trust self-signed certs.

That said, there should be a toggle in preferences or about:config to allow it for those who know what they are doing.

Ask it to make a pull request to add that feature to cargo :)

Students are often thinking of how to maximise their grades and efficiently use their time in the short term rather than how to best learn the subject matter. Anyone who has had to deal with assignment deadlines can understand why a student may choose to take such a shortcut if it's available, even to their own detriment in the long term.

Implying anything learned in high school is of benefit long term… ha.

Someone recently described their high school experience as “slightly better than prison.” I agreed. If you want to fix education, perhaps start at the root of where we force kids to do bullshit work.

Teaching them how to do their taxes would be infinitely more valuable than memorizing pointless geographical locations (solved by google maps) or names of dead white people in history class (also solved by google) or forcing them to learn Spanish (google translate). The experience was so unpleasant that I didn’t realize until my 20’s that I actually love studying history.

I don't completely agree. I mean it should not feel like prison, and putting pressure with grades is not necessarily good.

But I don't think that school is about learning useful stuff. There is plenty of time to learn a boring job/how to do taxes after school. School should be an opportunity to learn how to learn, and to discover new things.

Because you don't need it in your job later doesn't mean it's bullshit.

Sure. I'm honestly not a big fan of grades, to be honest. But that's a hard problem: some students will be better with grades, some without, and some won't care.

Still I don't believe that the goal in school is to learn useful stuff. The goal is to learn how to learn, and to discover stuff. There is plenty of time then to learn how to do a boring job.

Maybe one day we will use an AI to generate the legalese, and also use an AI to convert it back into a concise, readable form.

IIUC, with law you can have concise, readable, and unambiguous, but you can only have two of them at a time.

But IANAL.

Totally agree with your sentiment.

I think the inertia of switching is lower for ML because libraries like pytorch support more backends besides just CUDA, such as ROCm (AMD) and MPS (Apple Metal). I used the pytorch ROCm backend recently and there's certainly some more work that needs to be done in this space to get it to the same level as the CUDA backend (performance and compatibility wise), but at least it makes other GPU vendors an option.

I just wanted to say that I've been experiencing the same issue, I'm not sure if it's packet loss or just high latency spikes but I notice it while playing a game (in my case the game is Old School Runescape). I've tried switching ISP but that didn't really fix the problem, I get latency problems using both ethernet (via powerline adapter) and WiFi. I think the next thing to try would be to switch to a different router/modem (I'm currently using the ISP provided one). If you ever figure out your problem let me know what your solution was.

Others that play the same game don't seem to experience the lag spikes as badly as I do, but I'm not sure whether they just get routed differently or if the problem is in my house or close to my house :(

It appears as though the website is down, I'm getting "Site Not Found"

If there was an incentive for web devs to develop faster-loading and more responsive web pages then they would, e.g if Google search weighted those pages higher in search ranking.

(they won't, because then Google would have to rank their own web apps lower)
