Those are material science and physical limitations.

Number of parameters in a neural network is not really limited that way, doing useful compute with it is a different matter
I don't want an app - I like my coworkers and enjoy having lunch with them. It's the other, pleasant part of work : social interactions with people I know. They are also sometimes necessary, ie you will sometimes solve problems more efficiently over lunch/coffee than by email / Skype.

Furthermore, not everyone has a 1h+ commute to the office and lives in an expensive area - I know plenty of people with short commutes.

In the end, it's not 'all remote' or 'all office', we're different people in different conditions. There has to be room for everyone.
Common Lisp performance can be about the same as C++, so performance considerations won't stop you there at least. Common. You can also call C and C++ functions from Common Lisp, so the ecosystem shouldn't stop you either.

It would help if you outlined what's missing from for example Common Lisp in order for it to compete with C++, then maybe I'll be able to give more helpful suggestions that will help you.
The ROC is de jure a country, and the PRC is de jure a country, but mostly not in the same legal systems, and with essentially coextensive de jure territory.

De facto mainland China and Taiwan are separate countries, with distinct territories, governed respectively by the PRC and ROC.

That is the basis (or perhaps just expansion) of the upthread description that Taiwan is, de facto, a distinct country from China.
> All we need to worry about is the weights and the dynamics of the network as a whole. How much of a simplification is that?

A lot. Parallel optimization is an art form. These models are trained on static datasets, they can't intervene in the environment to infer causal relations, so they need legs and hands.
Choosing python as your interview language seems like just an unfair advantage at this point.

And then choosing python for complex high performance work seems like asking for a headache at this point.
Narrowly true, except it's trivial to scan a very large archive without actually storing the entire thing, whereas if you tried to do the same thing with a zip quine you'll eventually run out of memory. Zip quines are strictly worse.
I find it very disappointing that these articles never mention VRChat, the current largest VR social media platform and just use Facebook press material to guide their opinion on the metaverse. VRChat is leagues ahead of all the competition. It has an established ecosystem of players, communities, maps, games, content, and a whole network of modders finding and creating features users actually want.

Right now, I can meet my irl friend to go avatar shopping for a fun looking character with full body tracking (because full body feels 100x more immersive), head to a VR strip club to get drunk with strangers and watch people poledance using roomscale stripper pole setups, go play a boxing mini game against a person roleplaying in a Donald Duck avatar I met at the bar, then finish off the night of regret by watching YouTube videos in a virtual movie theater with 5 other people. You probably can't do that on whatever FB will push out.
Good point. Another issue I take with these substitutes are the amount of ingredients used to make the fake counterparts. Whilst a burger is most meat, a “veggie burger” contains dozens of highly processed ones.
I'm happy to eat plants of all sorts, in their natural form. A slurry of plant fats and proteins which approximates eggs sounds like nasty factory runoff.

I don't get this trend anyway. There are lots of perfectly good vegetarian dishes out there.

Why do we have to whore out the food industry to the tastes of meat eaters in the name of saving the planet? Can't wannabe "virtuous" meat eaters learn to eat vegetarian foods without making them look and taste like meat?

The whole thing is some form of insanity.

(For the record: I eat semi-vegetarian in that I eat less meat than most Americans and some meals are meatless. I have been accused of being vegetarian by meat-and-potatoes people and vegetarians also openly hate on me for my "crimes" of eating a sensible diet that fails to fall into either political camp.)
> but how long would that last if there was real and widespread demand?

You are right. What you mean is that my project can be outdated because data will lack if wood become less cheap. (data is usage)

No I didn't think about pollution and carbon footprint.
I'd moved to VSCode because even on higher end hardware I could feel a substantial improvement compared to Atom. If you don't like the MS integrations, there's VSCodium.

I'm pro-nuclear, but solar panel disposal in rich country is almost solved. 94,7% recyclable, the recycling is taken into account when you buy them (in Europe at least), so its free to get them to the recycling plant for the owner.
People are definitely staying home more. I live in what was once a bustling night life district. It is far less bustling now.

I also feel people are sticking more to their core friends and family groups, and venturing out to meet new people less. But that’s more of a personal feeling than something I have quantitatively observed.
I've mostly only used OpenVPN for personal VPN needs. Is WG stable/reliable? My OpenVPN tunnels bounce too much.
You are partially correct. Community and network effects are strong, but Discord has technical features no FOSS equivalent currently has:

* One-click audio-video screensharing

* One-click video conference and chatting

* Emojis and inline images

* Decent UI

Bonus: Discord gives people the super quick option to have a hosted private server.

Discord can do all this because you are the product. Sure, there is nitro, but Discord is spyware that looks at every process on your computer and I'm sure they are using/selling that data.

So I believe that a client/server architecture that can do self-hosting and meet those technical requirements, could possibly bolt-on "single identity" ala Discord.

Does Matrix support instant screenshare/video chat rooms?
Maybe that’s what it’s doing under the hood.
I thought thats what Meetup was about, for both tech and non-tech communities. I haven't been involved for a while due to life changes (kids + relo), so not sure if its as vibrant in some cities as it used to be.

Are there NOTAMs regarding GPS jamming operations? It's not a fix, but maybe it would allow pilots - specially ones without sophisticated avionics like those founds in airliners(who don't rely on GPS in flight) - to prepare and/or avoid the issue.

Does that hold as the workload scales up? E.g. could this or similar models be used as part of a general-purpose search engine whereby (at least) one inference is completed per unique search? Aside from computation, I know these models consume an intense amount of memory -- would that scale horizontally easily / economically? Would it need to?
Man as much as I hate the whole "snowflake" thing...comments like yours really are pushing it lol.
Shoutout to everyone who keeps reading about the woes of home office, but has to work in hospitals, factories, warehouses, or drive a truck.

I enjoy my home office tremendously, but it's still kinda surreal to me how we can all sit at home with our laptops and that somehow keeps the economy going - as if our jobs hadn't been abstract and hyper-specialized already, now some people don't even leave their bed to work.
Imagine you lived in a black room and all you can see is a buffer of text scrolling in front of you. Nobody explains what the symbols mean. You don't remember anything medium term, you can only access a short snippet of text at a time and form long term memories gradually. You just look and predict what will come next. Who could become an intelligent person being raised in these conditions?

So they are missing 2 years worth of visual, auditory, tactile and other modalities (grounding), having direct access to change their environment (embodiment) and being part of our society or an AI society (social).
It's a terminology used to entice those who feel like they'd need a replacement for the things they're used to, and yet might have a bad perception of the plants used in these products (like eww that tastes bad) - so it's a term for the general population.

WSL and Android Apps on W11
With the advances into the WSL and potential running of Android apps on W11. Is Microsoft just creating more and more vulnerability for themselves opening up windows to completely different operating environment? There is some malware out there that is already trying to do harm through WSL and so I see this a new threat landscape.
I would say quite a bit. Adding even a third body makes it impossible to calculate physics with certainty. A complex system with any number of individual components is hard to understand with certainty and/or calculations can become exponentially more complex .

You can always disable GPS at the edges. Or almost always. And, for the rest, yes, they should at least be talking to each other and publishing NOTAMs when possible (and ensuring the FAA has it covered when it's a surprise drill).

OTOH, would it be possible to have other location services such as Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou available as backups (or letting they all vote on your position)?

I’m confused by the article and the above comment. Isn’t a glider by definition unpowered?
https://github.com/home-assistant/plugin-dns/issues/22 seems to cover the arguments and I see it ends with the software maintainers writing "We are open to contributions that adds features to improve this".

The discussion has since been carried to reddit and now HN.

GDPR violation might be happening here. I think it will be hard to convince a local regulartory body to act. The software itself isn't collecting/storing and I think one needs to argue first if Cloudflare's data protection is not suffienct enough. As I understand doing a quick read "Your DNS Resolver Information is anonymized at our [Cloudflare's] edge data centers.". If it's always edge data centers it's not clear if data is leaving the EU, etc.

The issue according to the article is with the FAA, not the military

I would leave Discord in a hot second for a client that just did that basics discord used to do before they became a platform.
Oh that's true, I know that and I'm not sure why I didn't think of it. Herbicide drift is a nightmare scenario of horticulturalists. In certain circles people plan out earth berms and wind breaks of sacrificial plants so their flowers and vegetables don't get hit. Most of us aren't brave enough to build something on the edge of farmland, let alone in the middle of it. But there's always some masochist who will try.
'We' don't have a very high opinion of farmers spraying on a windy day.

Similarly flatlander recreational/club bicyclists don't have anything nice to say about farmers spraying anhydrous ammonia on a windy day. Luckily didn't happen very often, and never up close (>400 yards), but that's still enough to really get your attention.
So the guy favors content over relationships? No thank you.
Yeah I think bumble has a feature like that. Just for finding friends and such.
Oh sorry! The adjective "inferior" usually does not refer to a subjective measure. Usually you'd use "distasteful" or something like that. My mistake.
When I lived in Japan (high school exchange) there was neighborhood "radio taiso" in the morning. I got the impression that people loved it and it was one of those things that made living in a dense city tolerable -- a little bit of routine, a little bit of meeting your neighbors before work/school. It is amazing to me that China wants to ban it because it's loud.

Have you any idea how much memory cost back then? Individual magnetic cores hand threaded to make small planes if memory.

Late 70s we bought 1.5Mb of memory for our mainframe, we paid more than a million dollars. The phone in your pocket is 10,000 times faster, has 2000 times more memory, and is 10,000 times cheaper than that mainframe

No one practically worried about supporting 2Gb systems, people wrote small, tight code, spending time to make things fit
I think it’s for military protection. I had a flight canceled due to GPS jamming. I think it was to protect a U2 flight. Putin also flies around with GPS jammers.
Many times you'll see a "knockoff" or semi-clone before the original product comes out, even. Which is amazing and awesome.

If our systems weren't built around intellectual property it would enable some pretty remarkable things.
Some of those buildings were built for them and they would just be leasing them. They already backed out of their Ranier Square lease (the new skyscraper in Seattle that looks like a bunch of steps).
Great question! We're still early, so we're focused on helping people lean out for now. Eventually we want to expand to bulking phases as well!
I literally never saw a Meetup group last for more than a year.

The closest thing to an exception was a group that existed a decade then happened to get a Meetup for convenience, and they closed within a year of getting on (for unrelated reasons)
Are they still forcing recruits to travel to Seattle for a loop interview or have they gone virtual? I interviewed a few years ago and the cross-country travel was tiresome. Also, my room at the Inn at the WAC smelled like mold. Not an experience I care to repeat.
The two I'm thinking of are in Texas and they're doing well.

If I'm reading it right, the problem you're calling out is that it is unaffordable to live in a downtown metro after it reaches a certain density. People still think they can hack together solutions by subsidizing housing, rent control, applying grants, etc but I'm more of the mind that there's probably a max size to a city, where once you hit a threshold it either takes a nosedive into poverty or becomes so unsustainably expensive that it chases out what desirable things may have existed there in the first place.
Nothing specific but I think that products and services adding a layer of simplification, discoverability and aggregation on top of existing solutions has a bright future.

Too many well meaning, yet messy, complicated, risky and buggy services each try to drag potential customer into their swamp.

Each has a gold nugget and we need layer that aggregate, filters and simplifies whatever exists for end user.
> You didn't really respond to the assertion that all American politicians are right-wing, but it's true.

"Two people repeating it on HN comments" != "it's true".

It really boils down to: What's your standard of reference? You seem to want to use Europe (I assume) as the standard for defining left and right in US politics. Why do you consider that a reasonable thing to do?

And even if you consider it a reasonable thing, why Europe? Why not Asia? Or the Middle East? Or Africa? Or the world as a whole?

Or why not, you know, use the US as the standard for judging what left and right are in US politics?
Its interesting. My oldest sibling is turning 30 this year and they are very concerned about climate change and the world their kids may someday inherit.

Meanwhile a friend younger than me is trying to have her first kid.

The fear is there but not evenly distributed. I personally am a bit of an antinatalist, at least to the degree that I feel its irresponsible to be having new kids while an overloaded foster care system still has children in need of parents.
Interesting. I would have assumed a totally sealed Pu module, since it's a nice steady source of heat that lasts 80 years and as long the container doesn't rupture it's pretty safe. As opposed to HEU which AFAIK always requires moving parts to slow or stop the neutron cascade.
fvwm is alive and well. I use it as my desktop.It does what you tell it to.
> Does that include the engineered quasi-mRNA in the vaccine, that was specially crafted to evade certain types of degradation?

Yes; that's why it has to be stored at such a cold temperature, to stave off that degradation.

The "engineered quasi-mRNA" aspect of things isn't to evade degradation, but initial immune response so it can avoid being broken down before it can express itself. https://www.science.org/content/article/mysterious-2-billion...

> Assembling mRNA using pseudouridine, a nucleoside variant that occurs naturally in the body, greatly reduced the tendency of immune sentinels called dendritic cells to shoot out inflammatory molecules in response, they reported in 2005.

If you consider a chicken that only eats corn, an egg is made of corn (and air, water and whatever the chicken eats that's not her food). It's just that it's fabricated by a chicken.
I experimented a bit with this with my company. We came down to a hybrid of what we call, 'Work where and when you're most productive'. The office primarily is now used for pair programming + discussions. Focus work seems to get done at home. My dev team on average comes in 2/3 days a week. Works out well for us.
> And no excess deaths.

False[1][2][3][4][5]. Sweden had 7.7% higher mortality in 2020 than it averaged from 2016-2019.

By comparison, Sweden's closest neighbors (geographically, demographically, and socioeconomically) had far, far lower mortality because of lockdowns, mask mandates, and closing restaurants[3][4].

> "Sweden, with a COVID-19 attributed death rate of 0.54 per 1000 population as of July 5, has a higher death rate compared with its neighbours: 11.5× compared with Norway (0.05 deaths per 1000 population), 5.1× compared with Denmark (0.10 deaths per 1000 population), and 9.1× compared with Finland (0.06 deaths per 1000 population)."[1]

Even more damning: we now know that Sweden intentionally allowed the virus to spread and never believed their own words about people behaving responsibly without mandates[5]. They knew that their lack of action would kill people.

You can argue all you want that some of those deaths are a fair price to pay to eat at restaurants, but you can't argue that they didn't happen or that no one could have prevented them.

My theory is that office design and expectations are just broken for tech workers. There's no reason (besides profits) that my office can't be just as comfortable as the spare bedroom I do my work in. There is the broader issue of a commute, but divorcing companies from the worst real-estate markets on the planet would help a lot with that.

There are three real game changers:

- I get to wear more comfortable clothes, and be more comfortable in them. This is a culture problem.

- I have a big, private office (bedroom-sized) with windows and comfortable furniture that I can potentially nap on when I need to.

- I have a private half-bath that I don't have to transit the whole darn building to visit. Public bathrooms are terribly unpleasant, but I also don't want to have to break my flow by getting caught by a coworker who wants to chat about whatever.

If my work office could solve these aspects, I would prefer it over my home office every day.
Corrupt? I dont see it.

Meandering, pointless, and ultimately futile without a readily-accessible thesis? Absolutely.

But the fact is, nobody single-handedly builds much of anything of consequence anymore. To call out the architecture metaphor is absolutely necessary! But perhaps for different reasons.

I'd be much more willing to trust what a society builds if everyone involved had a voice. Do I get to own my work when I design for Blizzard? Do I get agency over what I've built? And where does this end?

Technicians and a minority of engineers alike raised concerns about O-Rings before a certain disaster... If only we gave them some level of oversight over their own work, the Challenger Disaster would never have happened.

To suggest that any O-Rings anywhere are the responsibility/property of those NASA engineers is equally inane as divorcing the creator from their work. And yet, under our current intellectual property laws, this is too often the reality.

The sole architect is a strawman of a metaphor outside of very specific contexts. And even within them - who trained this architect? What reference documents do they use? Who assigned the purpose for the building? While these inputs are not enough to carry ownership, they are enough to quit pretending some lone figure is a "creative genius" that cannot be outperformed by a team on larger-scale works.
I don’t know much about lodges and golf clubs, but most churches are overwhelmingly of one race or another. Finding a church that reflects the broader community is quite rare, most of the community tends to self-segregate on Sunday mornings.

That said, growing up churches seemed fairly class-integrated (I’m atheist now, maybe this has changed?). But growing up we had everyone from an American Football quarterback on a multi-million dollar contract to working class folks in the same room.

Continuing my rant, it's one of the things I like about Jordan Peterson. His ideas face this fact head-on. He reminds listeners and readers of this and then presents his ideas given this truth. It seems to me that a philosophical idea that doesn't incorporate that as a basis is fundamentally flawed as it's a pretty important detail.
I thought the way the island is set up is that is that it was very difficult to make an initial amphibious push on the island with a few chokepoints that made defending it much easier for Taiwan that one might expect. And if China DID manage to break through one of those points the Island was effectively lost.
