Imo the point of the blockchain is that it can do many things (such as payments, storage, immutable records) all in one place which will lead to an overall increase in societal productivity.

In the case of your diploma, it's true that there are other ways to have a distributed immutable ledger that contains a signature leading to the diploma. However, by having one agreed upon global ledger for any university to upload to with a proven statement of authenticity for the degree, you then have the ability to build technologies on top of that massive ledger that would have been much, much harder if each university decided to host their own distributed ledger.

A simple example would be a hiring company (like lever.co) being able to verify degrees instantaneously on-chain instead of requesting a proof of degree from the university. This request for a proof already happens in real-life and requires a relationship between the university and the hiring company. The blockchain can then come in and allow companies to verify degrees in seconds, rather than days, leading to an overall increase in productivity.

It's a tough question, it's not even back-propagation but even just sometimes the "parameters" of the models, for example [1] shows that models such as ResNeXt already perform better on a very different architecture such as Graphcore, for some sizes of convolutions. Older models, or models that get tuned for existing GPUs, do not perform as well.

It's tough to come up with a new architecture that can have an advantage on current and future models, at least from a peak perf point of view, from a perf/watt for example instead the scaled-up Apple GPUs seem to show new interesting properties. But the Graphcore architecture is quite interesting, being able to act somehow both as a SIMD machine and a task-parallel machine.

> * Drop the notion of complexity as something to correct for.

This correction is necessary. What appears to be a complexity bonus is really a selectivity effect. Everybody plays simple games, but only people who like complex games will play complex games.

Gloomhaven has long been the highest-rated game on BGG, but that doesn't mean it's the best game ever. That means the audience who chooses to rate it is selectively filtered. The only people who are playing and rating Gloomhaven are the people who are already eager to play a campaign-based dungeon-crawler.

The secret to a high average ranking isn't to get top ratings from your target audience; every game does that. The secret is to avoid exposure to a less-favorable audience that would drag down your average. Gloomhaven players will occasionally play Cards Against Humanity and rate it 1/10. CAH players won't ever play and rate Gloomhaven.
Yeah, definitely, but I think it's important to talk about scale of that win.

I mentioned in another comment that the GPU generation is roughly three years between major architecture upgrades- this has held true for a bit now, and that time may even stretch out a little. When the average company builds one of these clusters it's safe to assume they'll either run it for three years or sell it back for some return.

Going with the cloud and assuming you don't commit to several years (losing that adaptability) the yearly cost of a p4 is $287,087. Over three years that's $861,261 to run a single machine. For about $450k you can build out a solid two machine (16gpu) cluster (including infiniband networking gear and a solid NAS) that will easily last three years. There are datacenters which specialize in this and companies that can manage these machines. If you don't have the cash up front you can lease them on good terms and your yearly bill will still be much lower than AWS.

Model training is basically the one use case where I'm really willing to purchase equipment instead of using the cloud. The money it saves is enough to hire one or two more staff members, and the maintenance is shockingly low if you get it setup right to start.

One piece of feedback:

"sort sum_gross_cost # Uses the auto-generated column name." ... seems like a huge landmine. Languages really should not have any implicit way of constructing identifiers (among other reasons it is not easily greppable).

You might consider using a syntax like `sum:gross_cost` which can function as a sort parameter and an aggregation, but is actually recognizable as an object instead of having an implicit transformation going on in the background. Like this:

...
filter gross_cost > 0
aggregate by:[title, country] [
sum:gross_cost,
]
sort sum:gross_cost

Every CI system in existence is reinventing the exact same wheel: "I want to run some random task" + event hooks + secrets + logs + plugins + integrations. It's so ridiculous that more of them keep being created - and are losing functionality. GHA has all these configs in YAML (there's a user-friendly config file...) but doesn't let you run paramaterized builds in their web UI? .....why?

We shouldn't be writing all these jobs in a format that only works for one CI system. You spend months writing Jenkinsfiles, and then you move to CircleCI and have to rewrite all of them, and then move to Drone and have to rewrite all of them, and then move to CodeBuild/CodePipeline and have to rewrite all of them, and then move to GitHub Actions and have to rewrite all of them. Eventually we'll rewrite them all for something else. And why? To run the same exact tests on a slightly different system.

You don't need additional SQL repetitive cruft.

from population
select country, rollup(city), count(*)
sort

Can represent this repetitive SQL query:

select country, city, count(*)
from population
group by country, rollup(city)
order by country, city

Information in group by is often redundant. You can tell which columns are measures vs dimensions by examining the 'aggregate' function - rollup or no function vs sum, count, avg. Order by can have a default to sort by all columns instead of naming them one by one.

That's only true for vacation and normal sick leave. Most extended leaves (medical and parental) do affect your bonus. This is certainly true at Microsoft and Google and likely many other companies. The exact formula varies - at some places, if you take 3 months of parental leave, you'd get 75% of your target bonus (since you worked 75% of the year). At others there are more complicated formulas that give partial credit or assume that the portion of the year you spent on leave you got an average rating or whatever. Similarly, at most places I've worked if you take unpaid leave (including long-term sick leave) those dates aren't bonus eligible.

I find it difficult to believe that even a massive eruption could literally push sea levels up or down in the surrounding area (waves /= sea level). Volcanoes are massive, but the energy to move cubic miles of water, water many hundreds or thousands of miles away, is at different level. Hurricanes can move water like that, but they do so with orders of magnitude greater energy (tens of thousands of nukes).

I 100% agree that if you have proof of efficacy against severe disease, its reasonable to assume efficacy against death. In fact I think it would be absurd not to. But, the usual rules of the game (and certainly the rules the FDA plays by as I understand it) are that you either reject the null hypothesis with a sufficient degree of statistical significance or you don't, and if you don't, you haven't "proved" anything. So if someone claims that studies proved something according to those rules, its fair to call them out if there was in fact no proof.

To your first point: Yes, 99% of the population does not understand statistics, null-hypothesis testing, what "under-powered" means, etc. But, I think we under-estimate the ability of the public to understand good explanations of these topics. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I believe the median reader of a page like the linked article can grasp explanations of these topics even if they are initially somewhat ignorant of them. And, while I can't prove it, I believe that the most epistemically rigorous rebuttals of what we feel are false claims are ultimately going to be the most durable.
Many years back the military connected some 1700 PS3s to create the world's 35th most powerful supercomputer. That needed few racks and could do 500 tflops. One latest XBox can do 12 tflops sitting in your living room. Of course the supercomputers would also have gotten magnitudes faster since. But hope this gives some sense of physical size.
I think they know very well, that's why they spend so much effort avoiding it.
I'd agree if there was any way whatsoever of fixing this issue, but there simply isn't. The editor can't even begin to guess what you might want until you write your FROM.
Probably depends on your use case, but my experience is that getting good results with text search often takes a lot more effort than tagging/classifying the documents when you get them would. It takes effort to craft a good query. Terminology used varies. "Oh, Sally uses a different term than I do, what was that?" If you tag or put the files into folders then you can standardize.

I worked as a patent examiner in the past and using only text search for that would be considered negligent there as it would miss a lot of documents. I ultimately used a combination of text, classification, citation, and AI similarity search techniques. Each has strengths and weaknesses so using all of them makes sense.

What a lovely tale! These are just the best. :)
My dad told me a story once about being paid for expert witnessing for patent expertise.

The short version was that some company's legal team was looking to hire him for expert witnessing. They knew who he was, and had a rough idea of his opinion already, and knew that he was more or less opposed to their position. So he asked them why they'd be willing to pay $?!?/hr for him to read stuff and tell them that he thought they were wrong.

They basically told him "if paying you $?!?!? allows us some insight into the opposition's potential strategy that lets us file a motion that just delays a ruling from morning until after noon recess, that will recoup all the costs we pay you". And apparently they weren't even exaggerating because in half a day they pulled over an order of magnitude more than $?!?!? in sales.

Evidently this sort of paying experts who disagree with you to help form your case strategy is just a normal thing, and it makes sense to me, I just couldn't fathom the numbers at the time. The amount of money specifically in drug patent cases is staggering. There is a long, long list of drugs that pull in over a billion dollars a year in sales.

The US's total (legal) drug market is like half a trillion dollars.

The person you're referring to, Christine Grady, does indeed have a PhD in philosophy (which seems to make perfect sense for somebody who works in bioethics). But in addition to that, she is a trained nurse with an immense amount of experience. It's not clear to me that a doctor would make a better decision than a nurse here (or in the clinic, TBH).

I think you have a different issue given your highly specific criticism of dog bioethics. THe NIH primarily concerns itself with human bioethics and permits some amount of very unpleasant research on model organisms.
Agree. They both have a place. I use Zotero to keep track of my references and also just interesting things I find. It uses folders and tags. Fantastic!
For additional context:

At the end of 2020, the United States had 1,117,475 MW — or about 1.12 billion kilowatts (kW) — of total utility-scale electricity generating capacity and about 27,724 MW — or nearly 0.03 billion kW — of small-scale solar photovoltaic electricity generating capacity.

Solar went from 0.4 million kW in 2020 to 47.8 million kW in 2020

Pretty impressive S curve, still in the early-stages imo

There's going to be a lot of hassle, but I'm planning to move many of the Google services to old Gmail accounts. To some extent it's more of a justification to reduce reliance on Google. When running the numbers I was initially confused about the pricing for Gsuite and thought "standard" was the lowest tier ($10/month/user), so it's not the most strategic decision price-wise.
The tricky part, as it was for me, was when things change. Things can be great somewhere, and then something at very high levels cause trickledown, and before you know it, minor problems turn into complete institutional dysfunction. It's like the butterfly effect, but with organizational dysfunction.

Add your spouse having other constraints, and it becomes a mess to navigate sometimes.
You are fundamentally misunderstanding something very important: a browser is nothing without content to view in it.

In order to achieve Google independence, Mozilla can't just focus on Firefox. They need an ecosystem of web apps that are Firefox-first, or at least not Firefox-second the way Google's YouTube and Search are. They can build it themselves, or they can get other people to do it, just as long as it gets done.

Nobody seems interested in doing it for them. Most web pages either work better in Chrome, or they work about equally well in both browsers. The obvious allies that I can think of who might want to help elevate Firefox are Google's competitors, like NetFlix, Vimeo, various third-party ad companies, and, back when Google+ was still a thing, Facebook, but there are ideological reasons why being too overtly friendly with most of these companies can't happen.

Ideologically, Firefox would want to ally with hobbyist groups, but they're small and fragmented: if there was a widespread movement to push Firefox at the exclusion of Chrome, many hobbyists would be happy to participate, because fuck Google, but nobody wants to go on this stag hunt[1] alone, and nobody has enough influence to organize such a thing except maybe Mozilla themselves (if enough websites start blocking Chrome at Mozilla's request, YouTube will retaliate by blocking Firefox, and I'm pretty sure Google's war chest is big enough that they'd be the ones who live through this metaphorical nuclear war). So most hobbyist websites work about equally well in both browsers, which overall means that the set of websites that work well in Chrome is a superset of the ones that work well in Firefox.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stag_hunt

Thus, Mozilla is stuck in a position where Google is vertically monopolizing them into irrelevance. Their repeated failure to launch their own products has proven that they don't have the power to go their own way, and working on their browser engine just means you have an excellent web browser engine, but that Chrome has them beat in the category of "stuff to actually do with it," which is much more important.

This is, of course, the reason why Google desperately needs to be broken up.

Why would anyone be OK with not getting paid their fair, and agreed, share?

I don't understand why anyone would side with a trillion dollar corporation, instead of a worker, regardless of how much he or she makes.
Thanks for the config it looks interesting and quite mature, the possibility of sharing such kind of has me on board.

Incidentally I was coming from i3 (xmonad before but wanted something I could switch over to wayland where I could watch video like its 1995).

This is a nice idea, especially given all the work people have done recently to make in-language querying nicer (Spark comes to mind).

My only gripe is the 'auto-generated' column names for aggregates. This seems like a recipe for disaster - what if there is already (as there almost certainly will be) named "sum_gross_cost"? The behavior also just seems rather unexpected and implicit. My suggestion would be simple syntax that lets you optionally give a name to a particular aggregate column:

...
filter gross_cost > 0
aggregate by:[title, country] [
average salary,
sum gross_salary,
average gross_cost,
let sum_gc = sum gross_cost,
count,
]
sort sum_gc

While it might seem a little uglier, it seems much more sustainable in the long run. If this is really too gross, I'd advocate some token other than underscore that is reserved for aggregation variables; perhaps `sum@gross_cost` or `sum#gross_cost`.
Just use bwrap (bubblewrap). Linux has namespaces.
That's not a analogous situation. You can inspect and control what the code does on your device, but you can't inspect what is done with your data after it leaves it.
They are different, and I'm biased towards a belief that error paths are more important, but I agree that intermixing them makes each harder to follow. This is a limitation of the medium - text, and different languages attempts at solving this limitation through more text (try/catch, on error, etc.) have mostly failed, IMO.

Go's method of treating them like any other value is the most honest approach I've seen. No one freaks out when a FizzBuzz program does different things with different categories of integers.
I agree that the columns of the results should be more obvious. But I am a proponent of "from should be first". I have never written a SQL query without thinking about the contents of a table or its relations. If it was my way, I would describe where the data I'm pulling from, then describe any filters/joins, then describe the columns that I'm interested in (last).
If we really want to live a minimalist life, then forget about throwing away boxes of stuff, and focus on downsizing education, real estate, and healthcare.

If you have a functional kitchen and a home gym (or tennis rackets or cross-country skis), you might reduce your dependence on healthcare.

This part of the thesis is really twisted thinking. It exemplifies how healthcare is just an afterthought in certain places, until people become affected by the desolate condition of the US healthcare system themselves. I gather it's because in general healthy younger people don't think much about the ones that are disabled or have been hit with a health crisis (accident[0], cancer, psychosis). At that point the reflective reaction I see is to appeal to others (e.g. GoFundMe). I'd rather people think about and work towards having a health care system that shares the burden across the whole population.

Thanks!

At the moment `let` is used to add a column as part of an existing pipeline. [1]

`func` is the start of new expressions / pipelines. And I just added a proposal for `table = `, which would be the same.

Does that make sense? Very open to more feedback...

[1] I just added `let` based on feedback here, it's better than it was, but not perfect, as it can be confused for a new pipeline given its use in other langs.
As already mentioned, this math starts to break down if you have children. In NYC you basically have two options: move to a nice suburb, pay $30k+ per year in property taxes, and have excellent public schools, but you have to endure an hour and a half commute... each way. Or, you can stay in the city, pray like hell your kids can get accepted to a private school, and then prepare to pay per child.

If you don't have children though, the math is pretty clear. For a given 5 year period, your options are:

1) Live and work in the location of your choice for all 5 years

2) Work in NYC or SF for 2 years, then live in the location of your choice for the next 3 years without working a single day.
