Yes, grazing land is not always good enough for the kind of high protein legumes and whatnot that make up artificial protein. Availability of affordable clean water, suitability of climate and soil type are all very different for cropping than livestock. Thats not to say a lot of land used for livestock isn't potentially dual purpose but as an example there is a lot of marginal grazing country that is perfectly good for low stock level grazing that would never reliably yield a crop.

Climate change is making it worse (droughts etc) but trying to switch a significant portion of protein production to factories might make it worse when we could be working smarter with what we have.

A lot of the artificial protein startups concentrate on burgers, when they really should be going after the poultry and pork industries if they want to show a difference. Those industries are heavily industrialised and needlessly cruel.
Similarly, in the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, a young squire is described as conducting himself "in hope to stonden in his lady grace" (in the hopes of standing in his lady's grace).

Some take this to be a bawdy anatomical pun, expressing the young man's hopes of 'standing' in his lady's 'grass' — a distinction lost nowadays that the pronunciation of "grace" and "grass" have grown so far apart.

I tend to agree as to bowl-stacking.
Cows are amazing!
Seems to me like in Van this is just a gradual process. Particularly in east van, I'm seeing houses be replaced or renovated to specifically accomodate at least twice the addresses and maintain the feel of the existing neighborhood; I'm living in one. I think something to consider though is that a lot of people were renting the basements anyway, and might instead be renting an intentionally constructed unit on the same property now.

I'm also of course seeing nimbys against tower development at commercial and broadway, which would have the biggest short term impact imo. They want to protect their scarcity.
People need to wake up and face the fact that we are being monitored by an alien race. A trained observer and fighter pilot doing exercises off the coast of Santa Barbara has gone on record saying that he saw an alien moving at thousands of miles per hour. The craft actively jammed his radar which is an act of war. The New York Times and other major news outlets have reported on this.

Except the fact that lots of things can move that quickly, like an atmospheric plasma phenomenon. When they say “actively jammed his radar,” all they are saying is that the object emitted a scattered signal of radar light which lots of things could do, including things that don’t have anything to do with sentient life.
I see you haven't come across the internal processes at large retail operations. They straight up don't care if SPD shows up, because this is about reducing loss from employee theft.
What controls the distance?

You shine a laser beam in some direction in order to create an image/flashbang/whatever twenty meters away. Why does it ionize the air twenty meters away but not ten meters away (along the same ray from the laser to the projection)?
> makes it seem like these incidents don’t matter

They don't really matter, to be honest.

If anything, they give insight into the growth of companies, showing how many key players use them. Fastly goes down and you're like damn, all these people using Fastly... I had no idea.
Sad. “Recent figures show an alarming increase in suicides among women in Japan. This May, 603 women took their own lives, up 21% from the same month last year. The year-on-year figure has now risen for 12 consecutive months, a troubling trend that reflects the economic despair wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.”

I’m not sure how this relates to data here [0] but female suicide in Japan is like half of what it is for men, and 2020 was still at one of the lowest rates in prior 10 years. Not trying to minimize but it’s interesting that the article imparted a different impression than the table data on statista for better or worse.

What are the most profitable small projects?
I'm a freelancer and cloud computing consultant, I charge $200/hr. At this point I want to diversify my income, have some semi-passive income or more scalable incomes maybe. For the last 5 years I've tried to launch a few startups, I have no problems with persistency, but it seems I suck at finding PMF.

What else can I try? Something based on my expertise. I thought about:

- Courses about cloud computing. The target audience is small, yet the topic is lucrative, so, I guess I can price it significantly above average. Also, I have ~$10k worth of audio/video equipment. I have no audience on social networks, but I have a lot of cash to experiment with ads.

- Youtube (cloud computing). The target audience seem to be way too small to payoff the efforts.

- Podcasts. Freelance, maybe high-profit freelance specifically. Podcasting still looks like wild west, even though i'm listening to podcasts for 7 years. Not sure what is ROI here.

- Marketplace software? I heard about people making slack/telegram/discord bots, something else? No idea what is ROI.

Any better ideas?
That goes back to seeming odd to me. We know all the animals there thanks to a comprehensive survey and prior outbreaks didn't take even half this long to find.

And several lab workers did get sick early on. We'll likely never find solid proof one way or another at this rate, though, unless an animal reservoir is found.
Are these CPU’s available for retail purchases or only for OEMs?
Yes, and they probably just track inventory by listing that each shelf contains "several items" once per day, like a corner store in the 1960s.
> psychological safety is often used as an excuse for why someone is under performing instead of holding them accountable and helping them

Not in my experience. If management is competent they can help to improve trust between teams and team-members, and create a safe environment for technical discussions.

I always recommend to avoid working for "paranoid" management that sees as "excuses" all complains. Lazy management blames downward their own lacking and creates stress, distrust and problems to the employees that do the work.
“Military power “ seems to fit perfectly…

> The etiology of military power is from War Emergency Power (WEP) which in the WWII era was a higher than normal rating power (i.e. >100% rated power) setting on an aircraft engine. Such power settings were approved for short durations (typically 5 minutes or less) such as takeoff and battle maneuvers.

> The term was quickly shortened to military power.
I have heard of COINTELPRO but don’t see how that has anything to excuse people who killed two police officers to rob $2 million from an armored truck. Kathy should have never seen the outside air and Chesa should never have been elected with his supportive comments about them.
'Topolect' (an English word coined in America by an English-speaking linguist who was describing Chinese languages) has the advantage of being precise and preserving the relationship between Mandarin and Cantonese that the writer was specifically referring to, but that aside, might I suggest that courage is best seen and not heard.
OT but I think better than another boring air travel bad spiel -

Dyson did some cool computer modelling around Helmholtz acoustic cavities to create quieter fans. I think there's a lot of interesting stuff we can re-visit today because of improved computer power around noise pollution -

“At Dyson we make hundreds of incremental changes rather than one leap forward at a time,” said Schneider. “That means we produce and test hundreds of prototypes for each project. 640 prototypes from handmade models to 3D printed designs were made during the development of the Cool fan.”

I interpret the author's proposed model as: "story mode" is

"I'm building a business for the metaverse at the moment, and there is something real if you look past the hype. The problem is that it doesn't quite look like the metaverse of Ready Player One or Snowcrash."

I will say I think it's a bit of an antipattern to get too stuck to a particular fictional representation of something. It doesn't seem to be too common, but it tends to blind people to the real possibilites because they're too busy trying to jam it in a mold created by someone 30 years ago. Kinda reminds me of what I call the BOAC fallacy: http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2916 although it's not the same. Just because someone wrote about it in a particular fun story doesn't mean that it's going to end up that way, and I'd bet it won't.

Most fictional universes tend to ignore business fragmentation, which takes us to...

"What we're missing is a common interop format"

Perhaps it's my own limitations, but I can't even dream of what a "common interop format" would look like, or more importantly, why any player would agree to use it anytime soon. There's a lot of business case studies as to why everyone will be happy to agree to an "interop standard" of their own control and let other people's content into their walled garden, to be subject to the constraints of their walled garden, but will not do anything to let content out of their own walled garden, the net effect being no interop. This smells of Compuserve/Prodigy/AOL/etc. all over again.

Unless you just mean simple avatar interop, although the lowest common denominator is going to be pretty low for a while. Roblox probably runs entire gaming worlds with the resources an Unreal 4 avatar designed for a high-end computer could demand.

I believe a counterexample to ignoring that fragmentation is Vernor Vinge's Rainbow's End, which I have not read, but I believe there is no single AR "metaverse" in that, but the technology is used for all sorts of things; you can opt in to the "fantasy" "metaverse", or the sci-fi one, or the Victorian England one, etc etc.
It's also an American drinking song.
Good to hear, less regulations is better.

But yet UK prohibits pedestrians on highways and some other zones and also Occupied Northern Ireland has an offense of «pedestrian through his own negligence on a road endangers his own safety» with obscure «level 3» punishment.
I disagree, knowing the good parts about JavaScript isn’t difficult. What’s more difficult is being able to explain the bad parts about your main language. And JavaScript has quite a few, if you’re not able to highlight those, I wouldn’t consider you an expert at all.

By knowing all the bad parts, you’ll be able to write much better code, because you know what to look out for.
> It's absolutely essential to have design reviews be rational, and to untangle complicated emotions.

We should stop hiring humans then, but what is the alternative? I have seen too many engineers getting angry because people is not rational. Like, man, you are getting angry and hyper-emotional but you think that others are irrational.
I call it B.S. We heard this story before so it's nothing new. Looks like the aliens monitor the U.S only....

The fact that "major news outlets have reported on this" makes even more "credible".
When we gonna see people kidnapped by aliens on TV?
I used to hear them all the time in Texas when I was a kid in the 70s. We were fairly close to an air force base and we'd be out in the yard on a bright sunny day when we'd hear a thunderclap, as if lightning had struck less than a mile away. We'd look up, see a contrail, and say "Oh." It never caused any damage; it was just surprising.
There is a major influx of homeless, human feces and high prices to top it off.

There are two ways off the top of my head (assuredly there are more): (1) use two lasers; or, (2) the geometry of a laser is hour-glassed shaped, so only the “neck” may have sufficient energy density.
>"grahamc’s “Erase your darlings” blog post is an amazing example of what a

snapshotting filesystems (zfs) combined with an immutable, infrastructue-as-code OS (NixOS) can achieve.

To summarize the post, grahamc demonstrates how to erase the root partition at boot while opting in to state by getting NixOS to symlink stuff to a dedicated partition.

This restores the machine to a clean state on every boot, preserving the “new computer smell”.

I believe the main selling point of this concept of opt-in state is that it makes it dead simple to keep track of ephemeral machine state (everything not explicitly specified by your NixOS configuration) and enforces elimination of Configuration Drift. While the benefits of this are clear for servers, this also works pretty well with workstations and laptops, where you gradually accumulate junk in /etc and /var which you never can be completely confident in deleting.1"

I really appreciate putting the effort in on any open source project, however GPT-J and GPT-3 are not even close.

I couldn't figure out any prompt that resulted in GPT-J returning anything that wasn't gibberish, whereas GPT-3 is almost always within the ballpark.

My first experience with HT was on my dual P4 xeons. Performance with HT on was noticeably terrible. It felt like a dog and pony show. It was best to keep HT disabled then. I'm not sure when that changed, but I don't remember what I did on my subsequent Core 2 duo system, but I do have HT enabled on my current (8 or 9 year old) i7 3700 and don't notice any slowdowns. Last I looked, I had to look at very specific benchmarks to find measurable differences. Qualitatively, I don't feel a slow down, either, so I keep it enabled.
It makes me sad that people at Microsoft don't seem to learn from history, because we have precedent that makes perfect sense: report percent (or fractions of 1) between work and what'd be 100% at that moment.

If the recitation of GPL code required Copilot to be GPL licensed, then that would be incompatible with other licenses. If the copyright is held by someone else, you're simply not the one who can ultimately decide the terms under which it is redistributed.
I think it is the future. Writing a mathematical proof is writing a computer program. I think it is common to see lots of lets say hacky, untyped work, like some janky bash script, that takes you on some adventure, that you have to spend extra work exploring. Imagine instead reading some declarative program. Everything formalised, use of higher order functions/constructs when appropriate that encapsulate important generalisable ideas (eg in the programming example using "map" when you want to loop over some list). Hacky stuff is fine for exploration and experimentation. But something for publication should be clear. You could use engineering principles, optimising your proofs for readability and efficiency, version control. Seems like it is the future.

Disclaimer I have written many "hacky" proofs.

Installed Win11 this last week. Underwhelmed, particularly with new start menu, even when left justified. I’ve switched it back to center to try and get used to it, but I honestly think I prefer the presentation of the Win10 start menu.

If this OS is simply about formalizing hardware requirements, fantastic.

The new skin seems just underwhelming, but at least it doesn’t seem like the complete cock-up that v8 was.
Instead of artificial womb, I'd imagine a natural womb of its closest extant relative may suffice. Sort of like how a horse can gestate a zebra embryo, but imagine the zebra was extinct.

For vaccine side effects, you're best off going straight to arxiv, biorxiv, or a well known site for free academic papers I probably can't mention here :)

Most of the vaccine skeptics are nutjobs just appealing to their base of terminally paranoid people. There's real stuff out there, but you're best off just searching for scientific papers because the signal to noise is terrible
My company previously had a beautiful (but unconventional and much-misunderstood) solution to this issue. To merge a feature branch into master, we would _first_ create a squash commit consisting of all the changes with the commit text containing the review message and a link to code review. Immediately after, we would _also_ add a merge commit that referenced the original feature branch, but resulted in no changes to master.

This meant that log/blame would default to showing the high-level summary of each review, but the git commit graph still has the full gory history if anyone needs to look at it. More importantly, you could safely start developing on top of someone else's unreviewed changes and git would correctly be able to track who made what changes, in a way that breaks badly with a standard squash or rebase workflow.

To view the "simplified" linear history, you run "git log --first-parent --no-merges", which unfortunately doesn't have a config option to set as default.

Unfortunately, we lost this workflow when we moved over to GitHub, and now git blame is surfacing everyone's broken wip commits because we've stopped adding the high-level summary squash commits.
Pretty sure that was pigs.

I remember seeing that scene in some Serbian movie.

Edit: It's a scene from Black cat, white cat by Emir Kusturica.
It's strange how people usually completely ignore decades of efforts like Second Life and several other companies that were less successful when they talk about this concept.

And also how multiplayer gaming in general isn't really included. To me, multiplayer gaming is where the real numbers have gone for the multiverse. It's just that most people don't care so much about things being completely open, configurable and user-scriptable as much as they do about other parts of the experience being smooth.

I actually think that the fact that these platforms such as SL and many others no one has heard of are so configurable makes a lot of people want to avoid them because it seems like work rather than play for them. And also the lack of constraints can be an intellectual burden for people.

But we do have things like Roblox and other contenders now that are more open.

I think to really get to the original cyberpunk spirit of the metaverse, we are going to be waiting for more comfortable VR gear to be widely available and cheap. Such as VR/AR using new technology that is much more like wearing a normal pair of glasses. I also think that wide deployment of new faster low-latency Wifi is going to make a difference in what applications can do.

Technology improvements like these are coming up over the next few years.
Hmm, different workloads will have different mixes of instructions, which will take very different amounts of time per instruction (e.g. a chain of uncached memory lookups vs a tight loop of register-register arithmetic). If you had two instances of the same workload, and one was throttled, then yes, you could compare instructions per unit time. But comparing prime95 vs the other benchmark is likely misleading.
Yes, that is the "stick". It has awkward dynamic stress modes.
If a non-GPL'd zip implementation is used to unzip an archive of GPL'd code, does that mean the zip implementation is in violation of the GPL?

That's the point of my comment that you replied to, and it is a response to a specific claim (which I quoted) in its parent. I have not and will not make the (nonsensical) claim that you seem to be suggesting I've made--that the ability to change out the model somehow negates the licenses of code used to train a different version of the model.
Stock price will dip if the market thinks the company is not doing well or projected to not do well. Nothing else is in consideration.

I've seen plenty of specifications, and they were almost all wrong to a signiy degree. We didn't even know what was possible much less which algorithm was right until we tried it to see. We rewrote it three times using previous iterations only as copy-paste fodder before we liked how it handled real inputs. Then we updated the specification. I like this method.

I wonder if there will be a class action lawsuit coming from this.
I've worked for Oculus and Unity and know a lot of people at Epic and Roblox so I've tried to understand what people mean by Metaverse (outside of directly referencing Snow Crash or Ready Player One). My simplified version is a 3D online game, that has the same number of users and retention as a social network. Almost by definition it has to have user generated content.

Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite are close in various ways, and many apps have the feature set but are missing the user base.
