Particularly the business often doesn't want to take on the goal of improved performance when good-enough will suffice. Which can often make sense when you factor in increase development costs, reduced flexibility/maintainability, and reduced ability to recruit for people with the skillset to work on such things.

Then again, performance is often a feature in itself. In some cases it can open whole new areas of potential business. Often times it isn't even particularly hard to achieve, it just requires decent engineering practices.

Unfortunately good engineering practices can be hard to find/hire for, especially among a development community/culture that hasn't had to bother caring about performance for a long time.

Google published "Attention is all you need" in 2017, which introduced the Transformer Deep Learning Architecture. This is the general framework by which GPT-3 was trained, and is increasingly replacing most other architectures in NLP tasks.

So.. I guess I disagree strongly with your premise? Look, it takes some time for these ideas to propagate to non-experts. In 20 years a hacker-news poster will likely post the same comment, referencing the 2017 Transformer paper to enforce the idea that all the _good_ science in DL was done years ago.

It takes a while. I got the chip on Nov 1 and have been working on it since then. (Although it's not the only thing I've been doing.) The process is a combination of taking die photos, tracing out circuitry, understanding the circuits, doing background research, and figuring out how to explain the chip in blog posts.
I'm still convinced that "Havana Syndrome" is just CIA officers feeling bad about what they do or who they work for. This used to be called "regret" or "having a conscience". The recordings that "diplomats" made of buzzing noises turned out not to be secret spy tech, but crickets in heat.
> Based on the rest of the comment, you are not listening to what I'm saying, nor are you offering anything to back up any opinions.

> Specialization and limitations of labor means that you need to drastically increase headcount to maintain current surface levels, which is more expensive even if a significant subset is currently cheaper (non-union police are cheaper, but once these public sector unions unionize, costs go up significantly).

Why do we do any specialization in the labor force then? What's the point? After all, specialization only increases labor costs.

Or, perhaps specialized labor is more efficient, which is why it exists. An LEO is by far the most expensive person you could have respond to a situation and they aren't particularly effective at most of the situations they are called to.

You could replace huge chunks of your inefficient armed staff and increase the head count while not increasing costs. For Portland, our unarmed PS3 position is a little more than 1/2 the cost of an entry level armed LEO. That means we can have almost two of them for every one cop. We could have more people out on the street. More people helping out, having eyes in the community and generally being useful. As an added bonus, non-armed staff are more useful to the community because a huge chunk of the community is terrified of police and wont call them or communicate with them making them effectively useless in certain neighborhoods.

The mild amount of training they get is fine. If they encounter someone in mental health crisis, they should disengage immediately and call for someone who is trained to handle that situation.

> It also sounds like you have some odd and unexplained bias against armed people (in many states, the people you're adding can be and currently are armed even if it's not a part of their job).

Guns make almost every single situation worse. I'm not sure my 'bias' is odd. Most of developed world recognizes that guns are terrible and that people walking around with them is a pretty dumb idea. The USA just has a fetish for making boom boom with them so we live with our school shootings, mass shootings, and frequent accidental deaths.

I'm not aware of any governmental agency that lets their staff bring guns to work when it isn't part of their job. Would you care to provide a source? Even the gutter backwater of Texas doesn't allow them.
And there's Cap'n Proto, which is essentially a reinvention of CORBA.

Unlike gRPC, where RPC calls are just functions that take pure data arguments and return pure data structs, Cap'n Proto allows RPCs to return references to objects. The client can hold onto the reference and call methods on it, which invoke RPC calls, while the client and server runtimes keep track of what the references refer to. So you can treat remote objects as if they're local to your process.

This "location transparency" feature is at the heart of CORBA, and later, Microsoft DCOM and Java RMI. I've never used Cap'n Proto, but with CORBA/DCOM/RMI, this is a really powerful feature which allows you to work with APIs as if they're just in-process libraries. The downside is that if you pretend there's no network overhead, you might end up designing very inefficient applications, with each method call becoming a network roundtrip. It also means a client can, if you're not careful, "hog" a remote object and keep it from being deallocated, resulting in leaks or excessive memory usage.

Basic DCE-style RPC like gRPC is simpler and has more predictable performance, since you're forced to consider that you're talking to a remote API, just like REST.
Looks like the brain has several layers of conscious states. The brain consumes many calories and thinking hard can make you tired. Especially if you have been very productive for a long time and then hit a wall. At the point of mental exhaustion, the brain desires sleep. You fall asleep and begin having a psychosis. The brain uses symbols that represent the psychosis causing hallucination. There is something about breaking the psychosis at the right time that alleviates some mental problems. Disclosure: I'm bipolar. I have some experience with psychosis I can tell you! All dreams are like psychoses..
> It's a closer match to Python than Go

I like Kotlin, but I really think of Go as the most probable outcome of someone saying "I'd like a staticly typed, concurrent/parallel Python", and then mumbled "but I hate exceptions". Go is very close to python in many respects.

Looking at the curves it only makes sense for Pfizer/Biontec.

Moderna holds 6 months on a 80% level. But the Moderna risk is a bit higher for younger, so the 3 months boosters are for the younger ones.

But this is all outdated with Omicron. They need adapted boosters first. Or wait for the real risk analysis. As it looks like COVID-19 goes the way of all such waves. The best surviving mutations get weaker and more infectious, until they end at the common cold. Omicron is extremely weak so far. Let's hope it stays that way

I doubt that. There's plenty of Iron that doesn't require mining to find, and it naturally accrues in the environment over time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_iron

We stop mining coal when it is no longer economical to do so, not when the mine is entirely depleted. There's a bunch of coal at or near the surface and will be for quite some time.

The same goes for Oil. We extract that which is easiest to extract and fraction into the products we desire, preferring to leave things like the energy intensive and more polluting "Tar Sands" behind.
Also this was in a paper where he was working on a PRNG, and later he says "If the [pseudorandomly generated] digits work well on one problem, they seem usually to be successful with others of the same type."

That's a private system on top of a universal public one, no? It's not an option as in "instead of private insurance, you can do this, but you can also forego this and use only private insurance". You have access to public care, period, and can pay for extra on top from the private system. Right?

[EDIT] To clarify, "public option" proposals in the US involve a government-run insurer operating on the same market as private insurers, not any kind of universal or default coverage. There are lots of systems with private components or additions or even that are primarily private (with heavy regulation and price controls, typically) but I'm not aware of any that do what US public option proposals have called for. US public option proposals that have made it as far as bills have also come with restrictions, like only allowing those without employer-sponsored insurance options available to choose to pay for a public option, which would almost certainly have done weird and undesirable things to the risk pools for the public plans.
You'd think this would be a huge scandal. I'm surprised by the relatively muted response on this forum/website.

Do not try to cook your moderate entropy data source. You can end up cooking what little entropy it had out of it.

Many CSPRNGs allow seeds of arbitrary size. Just push all of your sketchy data into it, and let the hash function handle scavenging the entropy for you.
> Imo we should be lauding this brand new sector

I disagree. Twitch/YouTube/TikTok didn't create a new kind of millionaire. They're simply celebrities. The only thing that arguably changed is that content production is so cheap and saturated now that consumers get a lot more choice in terms of who they want to watch, without being constrained by TV schedules and other distribution/logistics limitations.

There is no "new industries", it all still falls under the entertainment industry umbrella, and even the monetization mechanisms are the same old ones (ads, sponsorships, merchandising). By "lauding celebrities", all we're accomplishing is consolidate consumer attention into fewer content production channels, solidifying the position of the platforms where these celebrities operate.

Arguably the only noteworthy thing here is that technology changes and companies that embrace innovation will eat the lunches of those that fail to keep up (e.g. Blockbuster). "Everyone wants to work for FAANG" because a good chunk of the entertainment industry money is flowing there.

It's remarkable how casually people demand sacrifices of others as a condition for taking their activism seriously.

There's basically no limit to how much someone can demand, e.g. "Well, if he was really committed to transparency, he would have tried breaking into the White House with a camera", or "If he was really prepared to risk dying to bring these leaks to people's attention, he should have self-immolated in front of the US embassy".

Personally, the metric I use is, if someone has achieved more for a good cause than me, and suffered more for it than I would, then they are a martyr for that cause and deserve my respect.
After ~12 hours of getting this mitigated at work, yeah. The only things I could imagine much worse would be broken RSA, or something like this in the linux network stack.

This article is fascinating for the effects it has on readers.

We likely all understand that one of the toxic forces in our culture today is the compulsive need to turn every story and news article into a clear moral narrative with a pure protagonist and a villainous antagonist. Reality isn't like that at all, and when journalists force reality into that framework, it distorts our perception of the world in unhealthy ways.

But when an article comes out that doesn't do that, that just says "here are some people and what their experience is like", it seems many of us are unprepared to handle it. In the comments here, I see this rorschach-like phenomenon where each reader imagines a morality play, superimposes it on the article, and then gets surprised when others saw something different.

This isn't an acticle about good guys and bad guys, winning and losing, the good or evil of capitalism. It's just a window into one person's life. It's a useful article because this is a kind of person whose life affects many of us—a lot of people here watch popular streamers—but where we have little insight into the whole picture of how that impacts their life.

We should relish journalism like this. There is no need to jump to any moral conclusion. Just witness and understand a bit more about the variety of lives people live today.

Nymphcast looks promising.

Otherwise for the sync there's stuff built around snapcast. It has the fundamental limitation that it's a dumb pipe. You can control the volume and mute it, but a pause only happens when the snapcast gets to the silent "paused" part of the buffer. The sync does work very well though.

>They're basically trying to game the system to get all the benefits of a platform (waived liability), while still exercising editorial opinions as if a publisher.

Sigh.

Section 230 makes no distinction between "platform" and "publisher" in regards to liability or editorial options. Sites have always been allowed to make "editorial opinions" while maintaining that protection. Platforms do not have to be neutral, nor do they lose their liability protection if they cease to be neutral in their moderation decisions.

They're not gaming the system, that is the system working as intended.
