I hope this is a sign of things to come. Train robberies and privateering were common because the culprits were rarely caught. I feel ransomware has been so successful because it operated in an environment where you never get caught.

The solution is always the same, step up the enforcement.

Tim Cook was pushing some clever PR there. The reality is that if a company deviated significantly from it's primary goal of attaining profits for shareholders, the shareholders could easily sue to take control away from the CEO - and this indeed happens.

The example of a small feature here or there is a deflection since, like any do-good public effort, it's just good PR to do them when they're relatively low cost.
Oh also to answer your “as fast as possible” question: usually you’ll get the best performance by exporting your model to a perf-tuned runtime. We’ve seen really good results with TensorRT and (for transformers) FasterTransformer. I’ve also seen good results with ONNX runtime.

Staying within pytorch, we recently added torch.jit.optimize_for_inference (I think it’s in 1.10, though not entirely sure) that can apply a bunch of standard optimizations to a model and often provides some nice wins.
For all I care, a CEO can get whatever, if it's from the funds they raised, exclusively. Just not my donations or revenue directly from the product other people made. A "vision" or "leadership" isn't worth that much. Maybe connections are. Basically get payed for the stuff they exclusively enable.

Maybe that's even what's happening here. I agree, it's probably not the main issue at hand considering the overall financial situation.
> identification, NOT authorization

if a user can't decouple the two and control them as distinct mechanisms, the user interaction serves as both and this distinction is irrelevant

Timescale implements its own compression algorithms. It includes several ones, and automatically applies the choice of algorithm based on the data types of columns.

- Gorilla compression for floats

- Delta-of-delta + Simple-8b with run-length encoding compression for timestamps and other integer-like types

- Whole-row dictionary compression for columns with a few repeating values (+ LZ compression on top)

- LZ-based array compression for all other types

This means within even the same table, different columns will be compressed using different algorithms based on their type (or inferred entropy).

More information for those interests:

I remember when magit went from 1.x to 2.0, a couple of common commands changed keybinds and it was extremely painful to change the habits as they were commands I typed hundreds of times per day. Still it didn't take long to adapt.

> an organization that is more powerful than the majority of the world's countries. Zuckerberg controls the platform that is the primary means of communication for hundreds of millions of people, and in terms of power he's almost on the level of G7 leaders, just not accountable to anyone.

Let's add a header to Facebook's homepage insulting some country's leader, and see how fast they get beaten into removing it by a court.

The guy heads a communication company. This is nothing close to the power of a national government. A lone US senator might have less influence, but the president of any country has more authority than MZ, except maybe over Facebook, depending on how protective that country's law is.

Same.

After trying a couple of times, I haven't been able to get used to magit, and I gave up. I'm very used to the git command line interface, and magit is just too different from that. For instance, it seems to assume I want to operate only on a file, whereas most of the time I want to operate on the whole repository. I have no idea why someone would want to work like that.

I found it was taking a lot of extra research to get it to do what I wanted, and I was completely confused by its choice of default behaviours, so I gave up trying. I would welcome an interactive tool that is more oriented around the way the command line tooling works, but magit does not seem to be it.

I do have magit installed however, because I really like how it controls emacs buffers while using interactive rebase. But I never use the rest of it. I have no interest in trying to memorize which hotkey does what, and how to bend yet a new interface to my will (that apparently disagrees with my preferred default behaviour), when I already know the git command line.
VPNs/Proxies do this job just fine though, without the additional latency/bandwidth penalty of Tor.
Torch.jit shouldn't impact your performance positively or negatively in my experience. Although I've only used it on cpu. It's as far as I know just used for model exports.

The nice thing about it though, is that you can embed native python code (that's compiled to c++) into the model artifact. It's allowed us to write almost all of the serving logic of our models very closely to the model code itself, giving a better overview than having the server logic written in a separate repo.

The server we use on top of this can be pretty "dumb", and just funnel all inputs to the model, which the Python code determines what to do with.

As for model speedups, maybe you should look into quantization? I also find that there's usually lots of low hanging fruit if you go over code and rewrite to quicker ops which are mathematically equivalent, but allocate less memory, or do less ops.
Meetup is great for users, for individual hosts it's way too expensive. I can't view the current pricing, but my small group closed after I got tired of paying $90/6 months for a glorified email list + calendar.

I know what you mean. In my case also, I think it is a combination of me being better informed about the world and the economist declining somewhat over time. BUT I started reading it 25 years ago, and still do read it a bit.

In terms of other news sources - I have no great advice. Here in the uk, I read the Financial Times - it is also rather international - maybe have a look at it. I would say that it is ok rather than great - but it is nice to get your news from more than one place. Private Eye is excellent, but mainly just for a subset of uk news.

I would like to have one "go-to" news source that I could rely on. But that is apparently not possible. So I read a few different things, and try to judge from their different stories what is really going on. Interestingly, I find that hn is a good source of quality information and insight, although it (of course) doesn't cover everything that I want to know about.
Exactly what I thought!

We talk about productivity gains and why we still work 40 hour weeks and my answer is always this - you’re free to trade those productivity gains for free time. Go and find a plot of land 1890 homesteaders would normally claim, grow some food, build a sod house and eschew modern society in all its flavors - technology, healthcare, engineering, etc. i don’t mean to sound like a dick, but that’s why we still work 40+ hour work weeks despite the efficiency gains - because a modern lifestyle costs a hell of a lot more than basic subsistence.

People do this! Ted Kazinsky did it. It is possible. But of course everyone wants their mRNA vaccine technology and 10 hours weeks as well.
It probably will, actually
>In a rare display of anger, Cook replied that there were many things Apple did because they were right and just. “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind,” he added, “I don’t consider the bloody ROI.” Then he added, “If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock.”

That anti-profit dollar, that's a good dollar.
Social network, no. Social networks are for talking about yourself, and that's generally not very productive for educational purposes.

However, in the slightly earlier life of the internet BBSes and forums were all the rage, and those were actually useful, because the focus was on discussing common interests instead of everyone just showing themselves off (and forums are still around! Discourse is a modern open source implementation).

Which is probably also why people like HN, because it still follows the forum pattern rather than the social network pattern.

Some subreddits are also useful for this, when you get into somewhat less controversial corners like learning math or music theory.

Stack Overflow and its various spinoffs is probably another good real-world example.

The logic is that if a company wants to operate on that country, they have to have local employees, who are liable for the company following the laws. It makes it near impossible for global companies such as Google and Facebook to hide behind "no local presence, won't follow your crazy laws, and you can't ban us because people need us and will be pissed at you".
> Elizabeth Holmes made representations which she knew to be false to secure investments. That is explicitly fraud.

the problem - this became an institutionalized modus operandi of Silicon Valley, finance, higher education, IP law, crypto, even real estate - essentially the entire economy of intangible goods and services.

That has not always worked out. For instance, "clamming up" in the midst of questioning, but not verbally invoking your right to remain silent has been used against a defendant. The entire process is a minefield which is only avoided by immediately stating your rights, and not cooperating with the police at all. Unfortunately, in the USA, treat the police as a third-world country.
The uncanny valley is wrong. Or rather, it is a result that appears due to the juxtaposition of robots with different goal criteria.

Turns out, when you focus just on the devices which try to replicate both human likeness and emotional relate-ability (drop all the WALLe style cute but abstract ones), it's pretty linear based on how well that goal of emotional affect is achieved.

Not quite - the police have to ask a judge for authorisation, but it's not during a trial, so there is no opportunity for anyone to oppose it. It's just that there is a formal record so if the system is abused, there is evidence of the fact, extent and who is responsible.
> Apple for example doesn't give a shit about individuals.

I don't think that's true. Jobs cared deeply about giving his users the best possible experience.
Parent is describing a different problem - which is neither contradicted nor negated by the problem you describe.
Agreed. Companies are all "evil" in that they exploit people for profit. What about cigarette makers? Or Monsanto? Does anyone think those companies care about people?

Oil companies conspired for decades to hide the fact that their product directly destroys, not just their customers, not just some specific category of people, but the whole planet.

Maybe because tech companies were founded and run by young guys, there was some hope that they would be different. Well, they aren't.

It's true that Facebook is in a class of its own, but that's because of its size and power; not because of its unique "evilness".
If the police are aware of this “feature”, that’s an easy contempt and destruction of evidence charge among others. I’d recommend just not doing it.

The majority of this is ownership, for example the Quandt family owns nearly 50% of BMW. Stefan Quandt alone owns 25% of BMW. It's pretty elastic - and that wealth share of 700 billion is owned by 500 out of 80 Million people or 0.000625% of the population.
Why would I use magit over the git CLI?

1. Discoverability. It'll display the contextually relevant options and commands at most points. By using magit, you're learning the git CLI commands at the same time, including commands that you'd normally never come across without a comprehensive read of the manual or release notes.

2. Fewer keypresses. Also, extra shortcuts for some common operations.

3. The bits that CLIs aren't very good for: staging and unstaging pieces of files, viewing conflicts.

(I do still use the Git CLI a lot of the time too.)

"With" needs to be removed from the submission title, as that isn't the title nor the intended meaning of the Youtube video title.

It does not, as clearly stated in the video description.

Your posts have been wild, but the last statement here is the biggest stretch of all.

There's a difference between actively eliminating a group of people, and that same group of people choosing not to have kids due to the requirements of "success" in their own culture.

Even though I don't agree with you in the slightest, I somewhat sympathize with you simply because I think you truly believe your perception is a reflection of reality as the saying goes. When it feels like the world is against you or apathetic towards you, that's a terrible thing.

Let me preface my point with this. I'm not white, but I am 'Western' culturally speaking. Unlike you seem to be able to do, I can acknowledge the flaw of western culture and still appreciate the positives like scientific and technological progress.

Ultimately, this is the truth of the matter. For centuries, Western European cultures have actively sought conquest of new frontiers with wealth and power being the two primary motivators. This set the stage for our modern trade network, technology, and capacity for migration.

The decision makers did not ask or care about the endgame of this activity, though. As wealth grew for the western world, it also grew for its average citizen, and like a drug, we have grown addicted to wealth.

White populations are in decline because they were one of the first groups to largely achieve the manifestation of the idea that "Anyone can be (financially) successful"

In the modern world, if your job doesn't pay you well enough, the only ways to maintain this success are to not have kids, have less kids or have kids later. You maintain this success culturally by making sure the few kids you do have know to follow the same line of reasoning.

Surely you aren't going to suggest that native non whites are forcefully suppressing white births? Or that immigrants are doing the same?

If you removed the immigrant or brown factor, you'd have the same situation as Japan with an aging population and no one to replace it.

The culture that led you to your current state, is also the culture that will be your undoing. I don't know what the solution is, but it's very clear that when financial success is the primary goal of individuals and infinite growth is the primary goal of governments and other institutions, population decline follows. Growth can always be greater, but the amount of time in a day grows ever shorter, and limits of human physical and mental stamina has a hard ceiling.
I wonder if there'd then be a worse penalty if police were to discover you were doing this, were the wipe timer not to trigger, and if that'd be worth the risk. Definitely an interesting idea, though

> The core problem is that any large organization is guaranteed to be psychopathic.

Well any large organization is, to a certain point, very successful and you can't get to that position with morals. Doing the ethical thing is very often not the thing you need to do to succeed or profit.

No, McCarthyism was an anti-communist panic in the USA. They're referring to USSR propaganda. I assure you, resentment over a better quality of life was not driving McCarthyism.

It is more about having a slightly more sophisticated and realistic view of the world than a binary "they are good/bad". Everyone has biases, everyone is frequently imprecise in "something", and everything is political, but that does not mean you should distrust everyone and assume they are malicious/incompetent.
