> - if people can do 5 days' work in 4, can they also do 4 days' work in 3? What's special about 4 days? Will work scope down until it becomes true that it could be done in 3 days, just as 5 days' work seems to have scoped down to be doable in 4?

My suspicion is that the time spent per week at work or 'doing' work is no longer the limiting factor for productivity in a vast swathe of knowledge economy jobs.

I have a theory that the human brain can only give-out so much creativity before it needs a bit of freedom to wander. I suspect that knowledge workers have big periods of time where their minds are effectively 'resting'/rejuvinating but these people are obliged to remain in the office and look like they are working.

Perhaps the four day week projects are showing that if people are given the choice, they can exchange some of that resting time for free time?

In this case I would suggest using the high bits of the RNG output when generating a float, since some generators have better entropy around the high bits.

So when you're generating floats with a 64-bit generator, instead of masking out the high bits with the static_cast, you may want to use the following:

return (gen() >> 40) * 0x1.0p-24;

In my next role, I want a broad mandate to make a meaningful impact within an organization by developing products that address genuine business challenges, with a preference for data related problems.

Recently I built the data table for Jupyter/Pandas/Polars that I have wanted for over a decade. The open source Buckaroo (https://github.com/paddymul/buckaroo) data table combines a performant table, summary statistics, and a low code UI to expedite common data analysis tasks.

Maybe an expert/researcher can weigh in here, but the recent link to leukemia doesn't seem to warrant to not take Taurine as a supplement for the average person. Rather this recent warning indicates that you should avoid supplementing if you have a risk factor for leukemia. AFAIK, none of the animal studies indicate increase risk of cancers even at very high doses, but humans can be different here.

Yeah, there's been a pretty big generational shift, I think mostly from GenZ. I'd posit that texting/social media may be a reason.

I first went to grad school ~20 years ago, and no one cursed in class, especially not the professors.

I recently went back to school and got another masters, and nearly all the mid-20-year-olds drop f-bombs in regular classroom talk to the professor constantly, like they don't even hear that they're doing it. Some professors don't mind, and even respond in kind (though much more self-consciously), some are clearly displeased, but the students barely notice.

> Your detonator part is not quite enough working, the common sense is 2 interpassing aluminum wire.

You are right and this is a better idea.

> JPEG machine learning is totally not working when you can fly a whole day long in museum so of course the drones attacking A50 (and a few of less valuable targets) used to have some powerful computer able to decipher the video from a fisheye camera.

I don't know what you mean when you say "museum". This doesn't not make sense in English. Can you rephrase?

I disagree and think computer vision would be a good option for the Ukrainian scenario.

For why I shy away from NN using off-the-shelf parts, see my previous comment which I've updated. tl;dr: You need decent compute/GPU to analyze sample frames at the speeds these drones fly. Off the shelf TPU modules suck for this application, lat/longitude array for splitting work, etc.

If Ukraine is putting decent APUs on these drones, my apologies.

> Working in a peacetime military does not really help to answer my question, working as killer drone programmer certainly does.

I did not work in a peacetime military :). And the information I gave here doesn't really reflect how it's done in the military.

> And there were no laymen in the operation we are discussing.

Again, I was just answering OP's question from a layman perspective. If you were doing it with military programmers and military technologies, there are better technologies to use.

> It seems wild to consider such intermediate files as part of public API. Someone relying on it does not automatically make it a breaking change if it’s not documented.

To find what is considered an intermediate vs a final artifact from cargo, you need to check out https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-cache.html

We are working on making this clearer with https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14125 where there will be `build.build-dir` (intermediate files) and `build.target-dir` (final artifacts).

When you do a `cargo build` inside of a library, like `clap`, you will get an rlip copied into `build.target-dir` (final artifacts). This is intended for integration with other build systems. There are holes with this workflow though but identifying all of the relevant cases for what might be a "safe" breakage is difficult.

A question for folks living there, or visited - are the description of fauna at least a bit accurate? Ie oversized mosquitoes (where swamps were not completely drained hundred years ago). Easily 2x the size of regular central european ones (or anywhere I've been really, including malaric ones).

As an European, the biggest ones I've seen were in northern Scandinavia. Huge guys, massive swarms of them, sitting on people and backpacks in hundreds as they walked. Te only protection was thick clothing over everything.

Still, any exposed part of skin had 10-20 bites easily. They were harmless, and once I've got used to that weren't itching, as long as I didn't accidentally scratched/bruised over them.

The goal of IR35 is to ensure that someone doing a job pays about the same tax as an employee in a similar position [1].

While you are strictly correct that the legislation doesn't apply unless you are the owner of the small business providing the services - I guarantee you that if the consultancies did not in fact pay their employees at market rates, and instead paid low and then distributed dividends (or some other tax avoiding scheme), then there would be similar legislation that applied to them.

The tax man just doesn't like large numbers of workers paying less tax than they think they should.

I love these little anecdotes because they always pre-suppose that everyone - the writer, of course, but also the reader - themselves are the people who don't lack judgment, which is a role they relegate to, perhaps, a particularly incompetent co-worker, or even unknown and faceless "drudge".

Which is to say that there's an obvious affliction of narcissism at work that precludes good judgment.

Deploying next is difficult, but IMO that's because deploying anything substantial is difficult. I've had my share of nasty deployment debugging that took days and none of it was due to next.

> could be that people who get all the recommended vaccines are just in general more health-conscious and this has some relationship to dementia risk

Huh, it looks deeper than mere correlation [1][2].

The simple explanation is inflammation. The intriguing potential is the vaccines train the immune system to clear something harmful.

EDIT: It looks like some HSV antibodies also attack various Alzheimer's-related compounds, including "Aß protein, tau protein, presenilin, rabaptin-5, β-NGF, BDNF, mTG, and enteric nerve" [3]. Wild. I wonder if there is a link between the vaccination status of a mother and childhood dementia presentation.

The visual arts are now having their Ikea moment.

Ikea didn't kill woodworking/carpentry/joinery.

I know several people that have invested into a lot of time and *a lot* of money into them as a hobby. It's still an art.

But Ikea did reduce it as a commercially viable avenue profession for more than a handful of people making boutique products.

But the DJ killed the wedding band, and the iPod/Spotify killed the DJ, if we weren't gonna a shed a tear for them (and maybe we should have?), why now?

People will still use art for their personal expression. That's older than recorded history, it's just industrialised commercial-grade investable art that is at risk.

You can ignore the jaccard similarity field. That was just to monitor the text->cleaned text conversion to make sure it didn’t stray too far from the original while it was fixing whitespace OCR issues.

I didn’t use embeddings. Nreimers account on huggingface has the minilm models which are BERT-like, but trained using distillation. https://huggingface.co/nreimers/MiniLMv2-L6-H384-distilled-f... Is the one I started from.

You can then just load that and train it on your data using a standard transformers classification pipeline. ChatGPT can zero shot that part reasonably well if you gave it this description.

From there you should check out the GRPO trainer in TRL. It has taken me a bit of time to learn how to use it effectively. There’s a TON of parameters in the configuration, and occasionally I have to hunt down arxiv papers to understand them.

Agreed. credit_guy doesn't understand what a multi-leg capability is for.

Now as to whether Russia's other triad legs are credible MAD components on their own... numbers do matter.

With their strategic airforce being degraded post-USSR without replacement and amidst recapitalization of the Deltas to Boreis, it's questionable is Russia can afford to maintain an effective three leg triad in the intermediate term.

And if the other legs atrophy, there's also an incentive for the US and China to invest more in nullifying the remaining leg(s).

I can make a collage from art/music/writing/etc under fair use, and it's protected by copyright. What AI does is less direct than that, and most of the people who use AI for creative purposes are themselves using AI output to create a new collage, or using it like a filter to tweak the style of an input or make it more aesthetically consistent.

If you have a problem with people vomiting unedited low-effort AI slop all over the internet, call that out and we can have a conversation, but your stance against making tools that can enable a new generation of creators to focus on the things that really matter (aesthetics, composition, structure) rather than things that don't so much (brush technique, instrument skill, word repertoire) smacks of elitism.

CV: Available Upon Request

Email: poetic.artifice@gmail.com

I am a seasoned (>13 years experience) full-stack staff-to-principal-level software engineer/consultant specializing in the backend, systems architecture, platform engineering, internal tools, prototyping, and data engineering. In addition to strong programming and architectural skills, I'm a force multiplier for any team in either role through the three T's -- teaching, talking, and tooling.

In the past, I've taught a number of scientists and students to code in python; I've led and managed a number of high-impact engineering teams of up to 12; and pioneered a number of no- and low-code solutions for stream processing, data model and query generation, form building, workflow systems, and front-end construction for a variety of industries, including those with strong regulatory requirements and complex business rules such as healthcare and fintech. >10% of all medicare applications and millions of individuals currently flow through pioneering no-code systems I conceived and built and have ran in production for over a decade

More recently, I've built a no-code automated form-filler and a workflow engine for coordinating LLMs and other generative AI processes, and on top of this a platform for both minimizing hallucinations and working with documents that are far too large for existing context window inputs or outputs using a novel, patent-pending process; and applied these tools to various contracted projects requiring analysis and and cross-checking of information and other forms of integrity across textual and video/audio corpus data in a variety of domains (fiction and non-fiction).

I am also an improvisational pianist, published poet, and I've created novel algorithms and tools for studying and composing both music and poetry.

I have extensive experience working for and running both startups and software consulting shops, with some mid-sized company engineering experience as well; which gives me a unique insight into speaking with customers and internal stake-holders, translating between engineering and other departments, gathering requirements, aligning stake-holders across departments on a vision and attainable timeline, and architecting/building/taking ownership over significant/all internal and customer-facing areas of responsibility.

If any of the above seems like a match for you and your organization or project, don't hesitate to reach out.

Sure, I was just pointing out that Base you use for your math does affect how common repeating digits are, based on the available factors in that base.

In Base-12 math, 1/3 = 0.4 and 2/3 = 0.8. With the tradeoff that 1/5 is 0.2947 repeating (the entire 2947 has the repeating over-bar).

Base-10 only has the two main factors 2 and 5, so repeating fractions are much more common in decimal representation, making this overall problem much more common, than compared to duodecimal/dozenal/Base-12 (or even hexadecimal/Base-16). It's interesting that this is a trade-off directly related to the base number of digits we want to express rational numbers in.
