Exactly. China is very deliberately not allowing the ad-click business to divert talent from more strategic sectors. Whether you think it's a good idea or not, acceptable or not in the sense of market freedom, it's a rational move.
Remember back when the first bundle made a million dollars, and they were like “we have made enough money, let’s open-source all the games” — can you imagine anyone saying “we have made enough money” today? :(
Disclaimer: I'm not an academic. I cannot possibly speak to the possible benefits and implications of this from an academic point of view. Like there might only be downside to doing this. I don't know and don't pretend to know.

As an outsider looking in, many academic fields seem to have a reproducibility crisis. Many psychological studies, for example, cannot be reproduced yet they continue to be cited.

I personally feel like every academic paper should be reproducible. I should be able to email you the study and you should get the same results. Obviously clinical trials may vary (and thus the important of statistical significance) but the real problem is data and models. If I, as someone reading your study, don't have your data, how can it possibly be reproduced? If I gather my own data will I get completely different results? If I'm solely relying on what details you give, how do I know you haven't made a fatal assumption or even just buggy code with your model?

I personally feel like a condition of all Federal funding should be that the data and any code should be made freely available.

So I support the idea of releasing it and that releasing something messy is better than releasing nothing but I can't speak to your individual circumstances.
I imagine the sales pitch went something like: "Portfolio diversification and a committed customer base for cheap".

On Emulation, Mednafen should run fast if you set the right core for SNES, avoid any opengl and shader output, and compile it yourself with "-march=native -O3" and the rest of CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.

It should emulate any 8 and 16 bit systems wells, even the GBA (which is 32 bit).

Also, on low end systems, solene@ from openbsd wrote a challenge on her personal site (gopher and gemini too) on keeping yourself on a single core device (grub/lilo option available just in case) and 512 mb of RAM at most.
Because the average user doesnt want to look at faq. They want a person to answer their question. Now. Chatbots kind of feel like that and the vast majority of questions can be answered by a FAQ.
I think it matters when a service or good is new, but not so much later. In the 90s when you had to convince people that video games were worth the time + most people didn't have a home PC? Yeah, in that case a person who plays games on their Linux machine is important to growing the community. Same for things like trying to convince people to watch anime back when you often had to buy fansubbed VHSes in the mail.

Now everybody and their mom knows what video games are + they're an accepted component of life and there's a huge gaming market, so uberfans aren't necessary for growth.
International treaties generally set out on their face what remedies there are for violations. The WTO is often the forum for resolving problems with trade treaties. Multilateral treaties are often formed under UN auspices, so that (e.g.) the IMO regulates mulilateral maritime agreements.

But in general, I think the assumption is that parties enter into international treaties because both parties reckon the agreement to be a "win". I'm not aware of anyone ever trying to enforce a mutual-defence treaty - if you violate one of those, I think people just take it that the treaty is over.

There's no "international law", as such; there's just a web of agreements.
This is not wrong, but also not entirely right. There is a model called T0pp (T0 plus plus) which was fine tuned on simple logic problems, and it is capable of solving novel logic problems. This implies to me that there is more here than we've discovered.

Additionally, the whole point of fine tuning LLMs is to give them domain-specific knowledge. If you couple this with search/QA capabilities, the results can be quite impressive. I've not seen them in the wild yet, but I've played with them myself, and the performance is surprisingly good.

Well, both, but I do think it positively impacts longevity because the fast is for a reason much deeper than extending life. The main goal of fasting is to increase the intensity of prayer, but, it has many other benefits. And then after the fast there is the feast. All of this also happens in a trusted community, no one is alone.

My point is that fasting, at least in this blue zone, isn't an end unto itself. It's just one part of a way of life, so, to focus the diet misses the whole picture.

As is unfortunately common in pop science writeups, the article gives a garbled description of what the Aharonov-Bohm effect actually is. The key point is not that "the field never touches the particles". The key point is that the potential, rather than the field, has an observable effect. In classical gauge theories, the potential itself is not considered to be observable; only the field (the gradient of the potential) is. However, in QM, the potential itself can have observable effects. That's what's going on here, but with the gravitational potential instead of the EM potential (as in the ordinary Aharonov-Bohm effect).

The paper itself is here:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abl7152

It's paywalled and unfortunately I have not been able to find a preprint on arxiv.org.

I also did this (around ~2008), a friend of mine and I built near identical Atom boxes with first gen (Diamondville) 64bit atoms on Intel motherboards running 865 chipsets IIRC. The GPU/Chipset was louder than the CPU because the CPU was completely passive. I did emerge Xorg on that... it took I think a day and a half(ish) even optimizing the heck out of compile options to use everything march=native... it was slow as heck. But it lasted me for years as a little project box until I replaced it with an 4th gen i5.

You really do start to ask yourself if you need a package if compiling it will take a day or two. Hence OpenOffice never got installed.

> Customer support is expensive.

Yep, and that's a key thing to get right.

One challenge for those promoting robots is that they are unpleasant to deal with and suck at their purpose (from the customer's perspective - they're deflecting traffic, so they're working for the business). Worse, everyone knows they suck, and people with a choice choose not to use them. I know I've dropped one vendor who forced me to. (I'm sorry, life's too short to talk to robots.)

Things like this make the customer very aware of how they are valued - as cattle not pets, to steal a metaphor.

Every so often I'll be driving and see something kind of strange before my brain processes and disambiguates the situation. In those moments I think about how current technology could never process this situation or environment like my human brain just did. Current car and road infrastructure is made for humans and requires human intelligence to operate within. Without changing this infrastructure or vastly more capable AI self driving will never work.
> One strategy which is obviously optimal is to use minimax (recursively, not like Knuth's Mastermind strategy which was mentioned by @christiangenco), however this strategy is not computationally feasible.

With some restrictions it's possible to do a full minimax. In that case, you still don't know if it's optimal, but you've at least got an upper bound. And it turns out, it's possible to guarantee victory while finishing in an expected 3.554 guesses. Alternatively, you can finish in an expected 3.212 guesses if you don't mind a small chance of taking more than six guesses.
Yeah it's incredibly infuriating.

If you use openAI's gpt API, in the docs they talk about providing a prompt that primes the network to respond in a specific fashion. Like,

"this is a Q&A session between an agent knowledgeable about bash scripting.

Q: how do I check the current working dir?
A: use 'pwd'

Q: "

... And then the actual user query is concatenated to that.

Which is a fine way to customize a toy chatbot to sound like edgar allen poe, but no way to maintain state across a long conversation with a customer (the max prompt length is very much finite)

Unless someone smart finds out a fundamentally different approach I guess these transformer networks will never really solve chatbots.

coffee in the morning and a decaf in the afternoon
My go-to is cashews. I used to eat raw, unroasted, unsalted cashews, but during the pandemic, I developed a sensitivity from eating too many, I guess? (tingling mouth/tongue, elevated heart rate) so I’ve recently started roasting them myself, which takes care of the relevant (natural) bacteria. Put them in a pan for 15 minutes at 350F. They taste much better than store bought roasted nuts, too.

Other favorites:

- Cheddar cheese

- Beef/turkey jerky

- Salami or other thin-cut cured meats

It’s important to watch salt intake, though. Cheap stuff generally has more.

And then every afternoon, after 3 or 4, coffee and a “coffee snack”, usually a fig newton or other fresh baked good.
So first, there are two types of velocity when it comes to signals on a transmission line which is what metal lines on chip are: phase velocity and group velocity.

Phase velocity is close to the speed of light. It can be reduced by dielectric materials parameters so it's often lower than c.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

Group velocity is often much slower. Information transfer can never be faster the group velocity, rather than the phase velocity. So when it comes to "on chip communication" it is group velocity that matters. Group velocity depends on many factor of transmission line design such as line thickness, line width, dielectric thickness, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_velocity

The article doesn't mention the double whammy of losing well connected engineers: morale and ripple effect. When a high performed with a good network leaves a company, it usually encourage others to leave as well.

After finding a mistake in a paper, having to fix it, and then publishing my code, I’ve found other people contact me for the fix rather than the author of the paper. I would recommend publishing the code rather than assuming your paper is bug free and complete.

Similarly, I’ve found papers that don’t include their complete data set in the paper, and had to try to reverse engineer it from images and so on. It is really frustrating when papers are incomplete.

If you are writing JS/TS, I highly recommend you try writing your own custom linter rules. It's quite simple and it's a great way to establish "architecture assertions". Use this tool (set the parser to ESLint): https://astexplorer.net/

I feel that linting has a lot of potential and is currently underappreciated. You can create rules that are heavily semantic in a way that would be impossible or extremely hard using a type system. Add to that that you can give useful error messages that include links! A type system might allow you to express an invariant, but when it's broken, it can be very hard to understand and communicate what the problem (let alone the solution!) is.

Finally, like the article touches on, linter errors can easily be ignored which means that you only have to get them, say, 80% right to add value. If an error appears somewhere you don't intend, you just ignore it with a comment.
My counterpoint is that you can make a rational decision and still be wrong. Ad click business is how they can build a facial recognition database of 3 billion people, and China is uniquely positioned to immediately apply that dataset to training ML with military applications.

Well, to the compiler, the parallelism probably just looks like an opaque call to a higher-order function. The bulk of the program will still be serial code, which will be subject to all the normal optimisations.

If you assume the companies are operating in a vacuum, probably nothing. If the government is trying to influence a private company what rules to use for moderation then the lines are blurred.

Bonus: As technologists and developers, we are actively creating this dystopia!

Perhaps someone reading this very comment implemented this exact Blu-Ray DRM in a devices's firmware. To the rest of us, it's dystopia, but to that person, it's just another JIRA ticket Boss says they need to implement, so they do.

A list of funny and tricky JavaScript examples
These interfaces are good because they are asynchronous, all the good things about old-timey terminal stuff but without the session overhead badness. If I message back and forth with a bot in a way that accomplishes a goal over a longer period of time but doesn't depend on me maintaining my attention, phone line, internet connection, or browser state for that entire period of time then in many cases it is a superior experience.

This is why I love chat-with-a-human interfaces on websites for support (although they mostly require maintaining browser state) because staying on a phone line absolutely sucks and the person helping you also doesn't have a real-time constraint so they often have the ability to get you better answers to hard questions.

It's not built on top of web browser technology: it has a small resource footprint, responds quickly to input, and gets out of your way. Shareware is coming back, baby.

I think you have to fire them. If you just non-selectively "do things that lead to higher attrition", you're right, you're going to lose the best employees and just make things worse. It's painful and it's actively painful in a way that "let's just not pay so much everyone sticks around forever". You'd have to yank out someone that has convinced everyone they're essential to the company, but they're mostly essential through a situation they created.

I wouldn't overapply this though. I think terminal mid-levels might be undervalued in a way. A separate conversation, but I think "developer assistant" could be a role in the way "dental assistant" is (but not as much based on gatekeeping).
At those conditions, "lubricant" is probably the wrong way to think about it.

Those pressures, rates of fluid flow, and shaft rpms is going to result in the mechanical surfaces being separated by hydrodynamic forces and/or boundary layer flow.

Technically, lubrication is the same physical principles, but viscosity, weight, chemical stability/ durability and other factors become more important for lubricants that are recirculating.

(Oil in eg, a 4-stroke engine operates on these principles, with the rotating shaft causing pressure differences in the oil that "lift" the shaft from contact with the surrounding metal, until pressure (and therefore spacing) is roughly equal on all sides.

A ping-pong ball floating on a column of air self-stabilizes in the same way.)

The primary concern for these turbopumps becomes heat. So heat transfer and temperature of the "lubricating" fluid become more important than its other nominative qualities as a lubricant. Fluids being pumped at cryogenic temperatures can obviously help here.

So instead of a normal "lubricant", most of these turbopump designs just run a portion of the fuel/oxidizer fluid through the critical areas to provide the surface separation and cooling required.
Or could it be that that the average law lost out to the din of the increasing noise.
> They measured a bigger gravitational effect on the particle

No, they didn't. They measured a phase shift in the particle's wave function. There is no "gravitational force" in free fall, and the particles were in free fall.

> gravity decreases with distance squared

The Newtonian gravitational force does, but the Newtonian gravitational force is irrelevant for an experiment conducted in free fall, as this one was. The gravitational potential is the key thing being measured, and it's not the potential due to the Earth, it's the potential due to a 1-kg "source mass".

> There is a big difference in being near the mass, as opposed to feeling the dimished effect of it from far.

The particles were near the 1-kg source mass.
What do you pose is the implication of that?
