Is this a shitpost? I honestly can't tell. You start off by saying you've only ever visited SF and then go on to make a load of generalisations as if you know SF like the back of your hand.

Also this:

> there are very few attractive girls at bars, or at offices, or even on the street, compared to just about anywhere in the world. and if that's not why you go to bars, i have to ask -you'd enjoy going to bars with mostly men? because that's cool too -once in a rare while

Is so awful that the only explanation is that the whole thing is a shitpost.

Boom, mystery solved. Case closed.
> These are both things that are unlikely to ever be able to run on anything other than nvidia hardware.

I think it's very clear that the framework was important here. Because you were pointing out that they don't open source much, I pointed out that they do, then you nitpicked by saying it's cuda.

I Left a Career as a Startup CTO to Become a Writer
> i have an honest question here

I think you may have forgotten the question.

I've lived in San Francisco for a couple of years now, and I'll tell you why I have no current plans to leave: the startup ecosystem.

When I moved to San Francisco, my goal was (and still is) to move into entrepreneurship. Some people working in tech might move away, but the startup community, venture community, and general notion of SF being a "startup capital" seems like it's going to be more or less unaffected by the pandemic.
“Unix-like operating systems like X-Windows”

Huh?
Exactly. All high level logic (no loops, massive arrays, and heavy arithmetic) can be written in Python. Overhead for C binding calls is minimal. The downsides related to undetectable slowless exceeds the utility and ease of development. Not to mention, over the air `upip` installs! If you have an ESP32/8266 or any wifi enabled chip, you can call:

upip install foo

at runtime!

It doesn't make sense to centrally build on belts. At high volumes where trains become more common it can be useful to move to buffer systems dedicated to circuits.
It highlights what resources you're short on more obviously (steel or copper).

Sometimes with caching it makes more sense to consolidate. Sometimes the scale can cause latency issues! It's about balancing tradeoffs
> a lot more than 1 because of Native American jurisdictions

Native American jurisdictions generally only have criminal jurisdiction over their own members for actions on their own land, that jurisdiction is Constitutionally an application of federal sovereignty, so where it applies it doesn't add an additional possible prosecution, just replaced (or provides an additional option) for one of the existing possible prosecutions. So, there's no double jeopardy impact.
It seems the problem is not that _everyone_ needs a full 8, but that many people _assume_ they don’t need that much, even though they do.

I don’t sleep 8 every night: sometimes it’s longer, usually it’s more like 6, but either way I don’t use an alarm to wake up.

The key for me was to prioritize my sleep health by minimizing screen time before bed, going to bed consistently at the same time, and always leaving enough time to get 8 full hours if my body ends up wanting it.

I don’t _always_ need 8 hours, but it makes a huge difference when I do. And empirically, my well being—physical and mental—improves substantially if I am going out of my way to tend my sleep health.
I'm against it for all your points and many more. We're stupid, electronic voting puts the onus on you to figure out so many things from why your operating system broke voting to why the apostrophe in your last name still breaks things.
Deletionism[0] is a plague on Wikipedia's culture. Time and time again have I seen useful content deleted, because a moderator would rather purge something not sufficiently high quality than expend the effort to actually fix it.

Oh gosh yes. Gorge the ML tool with the right streams of text and you'd have a glib anti-vax, white supremacist, flat-earth generator pouring out endless logorrheic twaddle.

Oh wait... could that already... it would explain so much...
Because if `c` is the letter 'I', and the current locale happens to be set to Turkish, then `tolower(c)` will return 'ı', not 'i'. If you are trying to lower-case an HTTP header name for the purpose of case-insensitive comparison, this is definitely not what you wanted. (And similar problems exist with several other locales; it's not just Turkish.)
I've seen plugins like this from time to time and I always wonder to what extent using them with a secured service (like Netflix etc) means that you've opened yourself up to them doing all sorts of things with your account. You need to login and once that's done the plugin code effectively acts as you doesn't it?
I'm guessing there are Chrome/FF protections on the password field, but if the plugin can do anything on a site, might it not draw their own fake password box on top of the real one?

I'm certainly not suggesting this is done by this author and I applaud the creation of the tool, but I'd be interested to hear opinions as to whether my interpretation above is correct or if I'm overly cautious/overlooking something.
I hope it leads to the widespread adoption of the East Asian attitude that it is incredibly rude and inconsiderate to be sniffling, coughing, and sneezing, in public, without wearing a mask.

I think it's quite unlikely that it leads to a permanent taboo on large gatherings. They're too much fun.
>Alternatively, if you _did_ work hard, but it's assumed that your predicted grades have been inflated, you face getting knocked down through no fault of your own.

Mark inflation is a real thing by the way. You can ignore it and assume all teacher-assigned markers across the country are roughly the same, but then you will punish those pupils who come from school where the standards are higher and higher grades are harder to get. Is that fair?

>I also query the notion that you can reliably know which schools get predicted grades wrong.

That's actually not very hard to do. There was a minor controversy a few back in Canada where a number universities were found out to have correlated the marks students got in university with the marks they got from the specific high school they came from. They had that kind of historical data on every local high-school. They then normalized those marks. People got offended but without provincial standardized testing and grading, you're just going to punish schools with highest academic standards.

>Teachers, and teaching methods, change every year - the people making the predictions are not necessarily the same year to year.

I agree it changes. I disagree it changes every year, especially in aggregate. A low performing academic school this year is going to be a low performing academic school next year. Maybe in 5 years it will be different, but year over year, the changes are going to be inconsequential.
Similarly, I feel cheated. We were always taught growing up that kids need more sleep than adults and older people. As a teen into my mid 20s, I never slept more than 4 or 5 hours a night and felt great. Now, if I sleep less than 7 hours, I have to drag myself out of bed and feel sluggish for the first half the day.
I'm sure they're red! It's interesting to see the limits of the AI. If I were better at art, I'd try to fix it manually, but I'm sure that I'd just end up making it look fake.
There's no good answer here, the unfairness is an inevitable side effect of lockdown, along with people dying due to stopped cancer treatments and a host of other issues.

Using teacher's predicted grades is stupid: teachers use predictions in whatever way they think will best motivate their students. If the student is lazy, they'll under-predict to shock them into revising more. If the student is not very confident, they'll over-predict to encourage them.

Unless the students are actually allowed to take an exam, all methods are unfair. Using mock results is at least tangentially related to the students' abilities.

An interesting aside: circadian rhythms often group in multiples of 1.5 hours, and I can say from experience that it is better for me to get 7.5 than 8 hours

Hell, disrupting REM mid-cycle is worse (in my experience) than fewer cycles that are all while: better to get 6 hours than 8.
What we really need is a good static output generation built-in wordpress that actually works and downgrades successfully. Instead, the team decided to work on a page builder (Gutenberg) which was/is far behind Elementor and the rest. Static generation is an absolutely essential feature in my opinion for having the peace of mind regarding security. I tried EVERY SINGLE one of the static generation plugins out there for a client project (avada theme/elementor/wpml) and none of them worked. (But apparently they do work if you use the SaaS version, not tried it myself)

So I guess Automattic will not solve it as it would hurt their wordpress.com business and if somebody comes up with a good static generation option will just turn into another SaaS offering.
It's well worth looking at interlisp's file/image hybrid approach if you haven't already. I think there's a lot to be said for it.

> So they estimate air pollution from fossil fuels lowers the average life expectancy by 1 year worldwide. Pretty significant.

At the same time the opposite point can be made: fossil fuels have disproportionately increased life expectancy worldwide from pre-industrial levels, and made us able to sustain way more human beings on Earth.

Talking only about the negative aspects is only half of the discussion.

> People are leaving because quality of life has fallen dramatically and the only thing keeping people in SF was their offices.

Do you think those quality of life issues are temporary or permanent? I mean, many of the things that make SF great are temporarily closed down (its geography and architecture are notable exceptions). That said, I think SF also has more negatives than many other cities (aggressive homeless population, tons of property crime, very high taxes but with services that are comparable, or worse, to other cities). Will be interesting to see what happens in 6-12 months.
If that's the case, then it does a terrible job at it. Cryptocurrencies, by and large, are absolutely horrible for a reliable store of value. The swings in value are too great and numerous to count, based on the whims of whatever people feel like they are, often on a daily basis.

I'll take US Treasury notes any day for "long term store of value". If the United States gets to the point where they can't honor Treasury notes, we will have much bigger problems on our hands anyway.

It seems like a really bad candidate for a long term store of value. For one, just look at the price volatility - that is the last thing you want in a value store.

Second, the fact that it’s ONLY use is as a long term store of value is red flag for being a GOOD long term store of value. If there is an adverse economic situation (which is one of the primary times you are going to want to tap into that long term source of value), the price is going to collapse... because everyone will be needing to pull OUT of the store, and no one will be wanting to buy.

No, when the flow of money is constrained it interupts actual labor. The great depression is the classic instance where if money had been made work would have been done and everyone would have been better off.
Does not take all manners of deduction into account.

For instance if there are a 10 unknown spots left on the board, and only two mines left with an unknown location, so there I can limit the the spots that potentially have a mine to the two sets of two spots adjacent to specific numbers, and thus deduce that the uncovered spot adjacent to only uncovered spots must not be a mine.

In such a scenario, the game penalized for me a deduction that it though was a guess. Causing the game to end, but it was impossible for that spot to be a mine!

It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to describe the experience of severe clinical depression to anyone who has not had it. Gerald Russello's review of George Scialabba's book makes a valiant start.

For those who are not moved by this, and wonder to themselves why George didn't just take a pill, consider also reading another book, written in a different mood, mode, and format by Robert Whitaker, an American journalist and author, who writes primarily about medicine, science, and history.

> In this conversation, one of us is thinking far harder than the other. GPT can have conversations like this now, which is impressive. But only I can model the beam, the fall, and the physical reality. When I say "that sounds awful," I actually do a miniature physics simulation in my head, imagining losing my balance and falling off a high beam, landing, the physical pain, etc. GPT does none of that. In either case, when it asks the question or when it answers it, it is entirely ignorant of this sort of "shadow" model that's being constructed.

GPT-3 could presumably write a paragraph like that one. You can claim to have a working physics model in your head, but why should I believe that unless it becomes evident from the things that you communicate to me? I've certainly met humans who could have a superficially legitimate conversation about objects in motion while harbouring enormous misconceptions about the physics involved.

Maybe the biggest takeaway from GPT-3 should be that we should raise our standards for human conversation, demanding more precise language and giving less credit to flourishes that make the meaning ambiguous.
SF has the lowest amount of kids of any major US city.
I wanted to say thanks for giving such a detailed reply. I still have some things that I'm unsure about as far as the framing of everything but having concrete examples like your point about your lowered risk of breast cancer is immensely helpful in understanding where I'm making social judgements vs. just being ignorant about the topic as a whole. It's often hard to get clear answers like yours because just phrasing these kinds of questions often feels like a minefield. So your patience in answering what I'm sure is an at least somewhat demeaning line of questioning is very appreciated and helps a lot in wrapping my head around this.
Yeah, that’s what always stops me from playing these. It’s fun at first (like any new project) but then I realise I could be doing exactly the same work and getting paid for it. Which I guess makes me super lucky in the “I get paid to play video games” sense.
Firstly, Wikipedia doesn't have moderators, but admins. Their function is not to moderate article content, but rather carry out technical duties like page protection. They don't personally decide if an article should be fixed or deleted. They close deletion discussions in which the editing community reaches a consensus on whether an article meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. This is not based on quality or usefulness, but rather notability. [0] If you're dismayed at deletionism, I suggest participating in these discussions and making arguments based in Wikipedia's policies and demonstrating notability with sources. I do, and I've saved many articles in the area I edit.

In this specific case, the article was proposed for deletion (a step behind a deletion discussion) and no one opposed it. The reason wasn't just based on quality issues, but also notability and original research. If you're interested in improving the page, you can request undeletion. [1]

It's not weird at all. Texas disconnected from the East and the West via AC ties (still has DC ties that connect to the Eastern and Western Interconnects) to avoid FERC's federal oversight, so they only answer to the Texas PUC.

Electricity is cheaper there due to the prevalence of wind in comparison to much of the country, but there are also really low prices in the SPP region (includes part of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of several other states) due to wind.

On both Windows and Linux, I've liked the "US international" keyboard layout as an alternate when I need to type letters with diacritical marks. In that layout, " ' ~ ` ^ are all dead keys, which modify the next letter typed. In addition, the right Alt key (usually Alt Gr on non-US keyboards) can be used to quickly type some commonly-used letters.

On Linux there is also a "US alternate international" layout with some extra dead keys to make it easier to do things like š or ž (Ctrl-RightAlt-< followed by s or z, respectively).

Look into ArduPy, which lets you compile arduino libs as loadable python modules:

ArduPy is a combination of Arduino and MicroPython. MicroPython uses the universal Arduino API to control the hardware so that it can be compatible with new platforms quickly. With the help of the aip package manager we provided, you can transform your favorite Arduino library into a MicroPython library.

https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/ArduPy

It works very well on the Seeeduino XIAO (https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeeduino-XIAO-Arduino-Microcont...) which is arduino compatible and costs $4,90 per piece. You can even get a grove shield for the same price and you are ready to go.
> renewables have always been just a few years away from being cheaper than coal

Because coal costs money wind farms are cheaper to operate than a coal plant and have been for many years. So then the question becomes is it cheap enough to offset the cost of building and installing the turbines? And in many places the answer to that has been "Yes" too for some time now.

Energy producers in the sector can profitably build and run an onshore wind farm in the UK on the expectation of being paid about £50 per MWh which is a pretty typical market price. If it gets much cheaper it starts to compete with the open market price for coal ignoring the price of a power plant to burn it, and staff to run the plant.

Natural gas is more competitive, because that's more efficient (more electricity for the same price of fuel), but it also doesn't cause air pollution deaths (it just drives climate change because it's shoving CO2 into the air) unlike coal which causes huge amounts of death and disease.

Also: I've seen several reactions in this thread that express doubt that it can possibly be this bad, surely if burning coal emitted poisonous fumes that kill people we'd have noticed. But We did that's why that coal power plant has big chimneys, when people first built large coal powered machines they discovered the fumes are incredibly toxic and began choking people and so they... built taller chimneys to send the problem further away. But the problem wasn't gone, it was just dispersed. 5000 people get lung problems in the surrounding counties instead of five people choking to death in front of your eyes.
