I first do the whole "Ockham's Razor" thing. Usually, the answer is right in front of me. A common mistake that I make, is that I may have a variable that is being redeclared inside a loop, so I don't realize the value isn't stable, or isn't being sent out to the enclosing context.

Those kinds of things usually fall to a quick look-see.

Next, I Google. Usually, a StackOverflow or Apple Development Community answer shows up. 99% of the time, that solves the issue quickly.

I also have the issue of "I know how to do it, but do I know how to do it correctly?" The Google thing often helps with that. StackOverflow has a lot of folks that are obsessed with correctness, and I have learned valuable lessons from them.

But hardware-wise, 99% of my problems are bad cables. Seriously. 99% of the problems that I've encountered. It's crazy how bad cables are the bane of civilization. Most pro IT techs I know, never reuse cables. They'll toss out dozens of cables, in great shape, as opposed to reusing them.

I was originally trained as a technician, and troubleshooting is what techs do. Things like "divide and conquer," and "export status along the pipeline" are good ways to zero into an issue. Debugging software can be a lot like debugging hardware. I learned on microwave RF tech, and software is a breeze, compared to that.

Failing everything else, taking a break, and watching a junk TV show for an hour, often helps.

I don't know if I have ever encountered an issue that I haven't been able to solve, eventually.

Sometimes, "solving" an issue, is done by evaluating whether or not it actually is an issue. For example, I may be busting my butt, trying to get a whacky bit of UI working, and some knucklehead will take one look at it, and say "Why are you trying to do make it work? It shouldn't even be displayed."

At that point, it's like those Bugs Bunny cartoons, where Bugs' head turns into a jackass.
> You could also argue that 0.1% is directing all of the laws surrounding our economy...and those are our elected leaders.

If they're doing a bad job, the recourse (at least in theory) is to elect better leaders. What recourse do we have when the rich abuse their power?
"wealthiest 10%" != "10th percentile income"

You can be part of the wealthiest 10% while having no income at all (not forever, but...)
Correct. It's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Growens. It started as a project within MailUp, the email service provider that is still a big part of Growens. The project grew, and so it became a separate business unit within the group, based in the US.
Competition time is 10 years max at the very high level with the usual few exceptions, and sometimes what was working stops to work, either due to injury, changes in weight or power, or competitors "figuring you out". For example, Riner was so physically dominant that as soon as he had the grip, it was flight time. Maybe he had a sasae too, I don't remember. Most players play "opposite" techniques, for example osoto-sasae is a classic one in judo.

For lower level/amateurs/"lifers" the math change, but at that level it is a bit more (or a lot more) about having fun, not destroy one's body and other concerns not related to high-level competitions, so more techniques can bee added to the arsenal.

I bounce between specialization and breadth because on the one hand, I want to "win" also in practice, on the other hand "win" what exactly?
You know, when you say it like that it really just makes sense and is working as intended.
That's just not true. It might be taxed at the state or local level, but a lot of people simply don't pay federal income tax (and in fact receive a relatively large refund at the end of the year).

(many people get confused and interpret social security and health insurance withholdings as taxes).
Democracy is about democratic control over the government, not democratic control over all individuals or aspects of life.

It's not injustice that people can't vote to control what you learn, read, eat, or do. If you write a book, our government isn't suddenly not a democracy because people can't vote on what you write even though you technically now have more power over other individuals since you can control what goes in your next book.

Source? Assuming you're talking about 18% of traffic and not percentage of websites, how do you define what counts as traffic in that case? Transfer between AS's? Does internal traffic within AS's count? Does traffic between entities within the same AS count (e.g traffic from one AWS customer to another, or traffic from a Netflix OCA to an ISP?) I'm skeptical of any entities ability to fully measure the throughput of the internet even remotely accurately. The closest estimate you'll likely get is if you're a transit provider able to measure data transfer, and even then you'll be lucky to extrapolate within the correct order of magnitude from that for total global inter-AS traffic.
I don't have any direct knowledge but those kind of solutions create security problems.

Key word “federal”. Why specify what specific tax it is? Does it not muddy the waters vs talking about taxes overall?

I did an anecdotal test with a few people near me. They read this as those people pay no taxes. Most people aren’t thinking about the specifics of state, federal, FICA (SS + Medicare), sales, property, and more.

I can’t think of any good faith reason this is done.
It's probably seems less commitment for the reader as well. Instead of a block of text upfront, a few paragraphs with a punchline and a thread a tap away if you are really interested.

Certainly an interesting experiment, which can be improved on for sure.
The middle class owns stocks through pension accounts.
"A good way to look at this might be some measure of the living standard / quality of life."

We have a lower percentage of the populace that is poor--but they still live with little or no access to health care, in poor housing with problems (pests, access to clean resources, food supply, rampant violent criminal activity, etc.) and in other conditions such that they may as well be in corrugated metal shanties with dirty water and little/no access to electricity and other "amenities".

The living standard and quality of life for poor americans is marginally better than for poor people in third-world countries. We put a better spin on it and (ab)use statistics to paint a better picture.

That's even worse. It presents even more clearly that the United States has been captured by the upper class, who pay all the bills but also receive all the proceeds (aside from small supports to keep the lower and middle classes working and productive).

This isn't much different than Rome, which of course the US is modeled on.

The only solution is a wealth tax for the next 10 years which dovetails into more sensible taxation on capital gains to prevent this from happening again.

The thing is that most CEOs of Fortune 500 companies aren't even in the 1%, which requires $11.1MM in assets:

It's the 'one-electron universe' theory [0]. In short: there is one electron that keeps going back and forth in time to play the role of every electron we see. A particle 'going backwards in time' is mathematically identical to its anti-particle, which we know exists, so the whole idea isn't too far fetched.

I don't think it is falsifiable, so not really scientific, but a fun theory to believe in.

It's related in that it morally licenses the privileged to be OK with wealth inequality because, see, the masses are actually being supported by the magnanimous benevolence of their betters.

It sounds alike but is different. The vegetable has the same name in Swedish, rödbeta (literally red beet, which makes sense since it's deeply red).

Rotabagge is something like "root bug", but where the bagge/bug part is more like an old/dialectal word for "lump", I think.

Edit: "bagge" is likely to have the same root (no pun intended) as bag. After looking up a few of these different roots on wiktionary, it could be that the have common roots but have just been mashes up through the millenia. The etymology seems unclear,and they have similar enough gibberish names in lots of different languages (beterraba, beterraga, etc).

90% to 99% own 35.8% of all assets, and, the remaining 1% own 29.2%. So the top 10% own 65% of all assets.
Perhaps this is a foolish question, but how do retirement accounts fit into this? I assume many of us have retirement accounts that own parts of mutual funds or ETFs, are those counted, or are the banks that managed those considered the "owner" and we're just getting a share?

There is no security.

I live in the north Dallas suburbs. About 75% of the time the entire non-pharmacy part of any CVS store near me is completely unattended. About half the time you walk into any one of them you'll hear the robot voice going off because someone just walked out with whatever they stole.

These stores are every bit as bad at imitating Amazon's fascination with automation as they are at scheduling and distributing COVID vaccines. For that matter, my proposal of a $5000/occurrence fine for unattended registers would also pre-eliminate one of those ridiculous unattended Amazon stores from popping up in your neighborhood...

The same goes for grocery chains. It's pretty obvious that the word has come down from corporate to store managers at Kroger and Albertsons to try and herd people into unattended checkouts. In the case of the latter, I've seen them have an attendant not work a register, but face-to-face try to "invite" people to the unattended checkout. All of this while a dozen registers sit closed.

These would all be very easily solved by a municipality imposing a minimum number of attendants per square foot of floor space and a fine for unattended registers.
When every application is an Electron application, you suddenly can only run one quarter of the number of applications concurrently. If your workflow depends on multiple applications running at the same time to remain efficient, that's not great. And no, I can't just "buy more RAM", because it might be soldered onto the mainboard, or out of the available budget range for such upgrades.

That's without even getting into people that still have limited bandwidth in 2021.

It would be nice if it looked at the values of the probabilities and said "I don't understand the question" if the numbers are too low. Or for fun, it could point out how stupid the question was.
Poor? No.

But wealth and income (from work) don't have anything in common. You may earn those 100k year after year, but it would still take quite a while until you land into the wealthiest 10%, if ever.
No I’m not confusing anything. Language models like this pick up all the worst that we have to offer. Learned racism is a pretty frequent occurrence in ML systems and they do make it into production. Look up Google Photos labeling certain photos as gorillas. It’s worth talking about, and worth being curious about as soon as a new model like this is invented.
Or, you could just simply argue that 10% is the group in the best position to beat inflation while the rest of us get poorer.

Not taxing the rich, capital gains as income, seems to contribute to inflation about as equally as government social spending due to both second and third order effects of policy influence and economic consequences.
They did not demonstrate nothing, perhaps only that they stupid morons.

Are they? If you can't afford to own stock, you're probably much more vulnerable to the secondary impacts of a stock market crisis (losing one's job, etc).
None of these are federal taxes though. From that set, they likely paid a lot of payroll tax, which is a fancy way of saying "income tax paid to support social security & medicare" that is kept distinct from "federal income tax" when these sorts of statistics are trotted out.

Many people refer to payroll taxes as payroll taxes, yes.
Huh? Consumers buying extra toilet paper and bags of flour doesn't affect the amount of snowfall around Lake Tahoe.
Yes there are many reproducible measures for benchmarking NLP datasets. We use many of them in the paper.

The issue here is that we were not completely sure of the process that OpenAI used in their paper. They report the prompt but not the process of finding it. As their model and process is proprietary, it is hard for us to do an apples-to-apples comparison. This small experiment though indicates that it is likely not very robust to prompt wording.

I'm not sure you need to be very rich, or an institution to diversify. In fact, it's never been easier to own hundreds, or thousands, of stocks as an individual. All you need to do is buy etfs.

Unfortunately, such cars are illegal in the US unless they are classified as motorcycles or NEVs. NEVs are limited to side streets under 35mph usually.
>Activists never demand cheaper (or more transparent) health care. They demand state to pay for it!

...it's cheaper that way. That's-- that's why they say that. You can keep repeating yourself, but tell me, what makes almost every other first-world country better at this than the States? How is it that we can pay so much less and have, in aggregate, better health outcomes? It's a mystery!
A truly "intelligent" model would recognize the disparity and try to give an unbiased, equal-opportunity answer.

Unfortunately, these models are not really "intelligent". Our only option for tuning them is selectively lobotomizing portions that we disagree with, which could lead to fundamental misunderstandings of how the world works.

Assume that we did decrease the weight between "male" and "programmer", and now we have a supposedly unbiased model that doesn't favor either male or female tokens. Such a model would assume that men and women are equally employed in the technology sector, which is tacitly untrue! So, how can a machine actually understand reality then?

The simple answer is that it doesn't. None of this information actually helps it grok the real world. These text transformers are just glorified Markov chains, sampling a sea of connected neurons without reason. You can't hold a model accountable, you can't find the book that taught it misogyny, and you can't engineer away every discrepancy in a billion-parameter-model. Responsible uses of AI don't treat it like a human intelligence.

To your first question: Unpublished experiments done by the BigScience architecture and scaling WG suggest that training on book corpus yields a boost of 10-15% accuracy on LAMBADA.

To your second question: LAMBADA specifically is an interesting task, but it's a bit unsatisfying to work on since there are so many conflating factors in prior work on the dataset. We are planning quite a few follow-up projects along this general line of work (prompted multi-task training), though.

Yeah, banks. I think the economy may be a lot more centralized than people think.
Do you not hear how privileged this sounds? You're lucky enough to have employer-provided healthcare. Even more, it's actually good. Many people don't have either. So yeah, the status quo is great for fortunate you and I'm glad you have zero complaints, but it's all the other people who we're really talking about here. I'm sure Musk and Bezos and Gates have no real issue with current tax code, but when we talk about tax reform, they're not the ones who should have much input.
