Contrasting social and non-social sources of predictability in human mobility

Good feedback, noted. Will get the next post focused on training within the next couple of days.
I'm really surprised that people think Nitrogen is laughing gas. I thought everyone knew 80% of Earth's atmosphere is Nitrogen.
Do you know https://webassembly-studio.kamenokosoft.com/ ?

I don't know if it compiles in the browser or on a server.

`stable` is not the only release, I wouldn't consider any of my Debian workstations outdated because they're not. `testing` and `unstable` are oftentimes more dependable than other distro's idea of stable.
Maybe I'm missing something from my quick read, but the idea of using this for plugins seems like a real misfire. I'm curious whether the devs come from the pro audio world at all. It's one area where prioritizing for development time by using high level garbage collected languages just isn't done because your user is always concerned with how many instances they can run and what the lowest latency they can get is, and that latency constraint is going to be applied across your entire system. So if there is one plugin that hoses the latency by needing a time slice big enough to run a GC in the audio dsp routine, pro audio buyers won't touch it.

It looks like a nice way to do interactive web audio work, but plugins are a different beast all together. If you want a place where old school skating-with-razor-blades pointer coding is still common practice, it's DSP code.
These days services are typically small containers with just enough binaries and dependencies to run the code, so bringing up a full X11 server session and tunneling it locally isn't really feasible or smart.
> IMO, npm is correct/better.

NPM was never correct. NPM as a business cared about growth. The more packages on NPM servers the more valuable their company, it's as simple as that.
This reads like an ad for the QJM model. The DePuy Institute had a proprietary model for figuring out who wins a battle. This was invented by General William DePuy, one of the leading planners of the US loss in Vietnam. He came up with a Quantitative Judgement Model for evaluating military strength. It's mostly adding up weapons values (sword = 1.0), although there are other features of the model. There are tables, now used mostly by war gamers. DePuy looked at a large number of historical battles, and came up with weights which seemed to work. The result was supposedly that the side with a 2:1 advantage almost always won. Within the 2:1 range, it was a tossup.
Author here, happy to answer any questions.

One of the key findings of this work is that cloud architectures have unique security concerns because of IP scarcity and reuse. We show that, when organizations configure end users and their other services to connect to these addresses, private data can continue to be sent once others control the address. We measured the prevalence of this across managed cloud services, third-party services, and DNS, and also developed some new mitigations based on our measurements.

That was long ago in a different world.

Other than the San Juan islands, there are no territorial disputes between the countries. The Canadian military is utterly dwarfed by the USA's, so any aggression on their part will likely result in a total loss. And if the USA really wanted Canadian territory, they could probably ask for it and be granted some in a popular vote (at least in the south western provinces).

Even if China and Canada become besties, China still can't do anything militarily. Canada is still gigantic; protecting the east of the country is impossible. And it would be straight forward for the USA to deny access to the Atlantic.

Yeah, the US government would not at all like the idea of China stationing troops or missiles in Canada, but Canada would see the stupidity of allowing such a move long before it came to pass. And if they didn't, the USA has diplomatic options (mainly, "hey, BC/Alberta/Sas, u wanna b american? :cowboy:"). Getting one to come to the red white and blue side effectively divides the country in half.
>Ukraine resists neutrality and has its country destroyed and is eventually forced to agree to it anyway (what is happening now)

What is happening now is the Russian economy collapsing and thousands of Russian soldiers returning home in body bags in just the past few weeks. The same things that caused the fall of the Soviet Union.

It's better for the users for sure, but they're not owed anything for a free service. For the owner of the service, surely it just serves to add more complexity?
Thanks for the link, it indeed provides context to your comment.
"Attention is all you need" was published only 5 years ago in 2017. BERT in 2018, GPT-3 in 2020. Now DALL-E, PaLM, LaMDA, etc. The pace of AI progress is frighteningly fast. I really thin it's plausible that by 2030, AI is writing and debugging most code, and engineers basically become spec writers who manipulate prompts, generate code, and verify. Essentially, project managers whose "team" is a bunch of LLMs.

It really doesn't seem we've hit diminishing returns on LLM model size yet, and that's not accounting for the multi-input types where video, text, audio, and more are being fused together.
>Remember when Russia invaded Ukraine and it didn't lead to NATO involvement? We have direct evidence that a European country can be attacked without NATO immediately jumping in to help.

Yes, because Turkey is in NATO and Ukraine isn't. It has nothing to do with Ukraine being in Europe. Not all of Europe is in NATO, and not all of NATO is in Europe.
It's almost €4000 though, so quite a lot :-/ Not the kind of money I can miss at the moment, but we'll see how things are in a few months, and/or if I can convince them to do some sort of deal (although usually these type of real estate types operate according to the Rules Of Acquisition; e.g. "one you have their money, don't give it back").
I think it requires some gymnastics to conclude that the statement doesn’t refer specifically to inter generational families without a married mother and father present: https://www.brookings.edu/research/an-analysis-of-out-of-wed...

I fully believe that these differences in family structure are the product of cultural and economic destruction caused by slavery, Jim Crow, etc. So what’s the solution? For decades it’s been more social liberalism: easier divorce, easier single parenthood, cultural changes to normalize unstable families. At the end of the day the bus that is the Democratic Party is driven by social liberals, and more individual freedom and less collective norm enforcement is the main solution they have in stock.

4.) I typically just spawn a few xterms (edit, build/debug (typically using screen), and i/o).

3.) No, performance has been fine using X11 apps that were built with X11 in mind (vs Wayland or some sort of locally accelerated GPU helper(do you really need 25% transparent dialog boxes?))

2.) There is remote machine I own/control (it has all the things I need) and going into a system that someone else has asked me to develop on (then ANSI terminal tools over SSL are always working)

1.) VNC has always been hit or miss for me, I do typically use screen(1) to keep sessions alive if for some reason the network dies in the middle.

But all fine points.

> 50% of the time my neighbor's maintenance company spends with leaf blowers is chasing individual leaves across the yard and through shrubbery

Neighbor here blows for 2-4 hours regularly, carefully hitting every sq in of the lawn. Most of that time is spent blowing clean grass, with the nearest leaf (there are only a few to begin with) being a doz yards away.
Humans produce an astonishing amount of text if you consider all the source code, research data, social media websites, emails etc and project out a decade or two; there is also multimodal and RL to consider as a source of 'tokens' like visual tokens, which have ~infinite data. Text is great, but there is no reason to train only text. It's just a good starting point.

But the real question you should be asking is, where would you get the compute to train a model that needs 216t tokens?
The greatest part about eBay for me, is that it actively encourages you to network with a set of vendors, and develop a level of trust. That's just something I've never got from Amazon.
> because they report bugs in the same place that all the other people do, they create spam accounts, they concern troll, they divert conversations onto their pet issues, they do everything people have done to irritate other people on the internet for ages.

What this is saying that if your "free software project" includes anything more than providing the source code for free online--in other words, if it includes things like a bug tracker, a discussion forum, etc., that you are actually paying attention to--then it's not just a "free software project" any more, it's more like a "free website", and has many of the same issues people are discussing here relative to the latter. And the solution would be much the same: your time and effort isn't free, so if you're giving it to the project, the project shouldn't be free; you should charge for it.
Is there a moral question here about whether some things, like
responsibility, are intrinsically "non-transferable"?

When thinking of simple goods or services it seems fine that I can buy
a car and then sell it. That's part of property rights.

For other things like a medical prescription, driving license or
degree certificate it seems correct that these things are somehow tied
to an individual.

Capitalism has evolved to allow transfer of many non-tangibles.
Financialisation is really the ability to trade companies, and more
importantly "titles and rights". Eventually this has extended to
buying and selling debts. Through this mechanism we've accepted, in
the limit, the trading of responsibility.

Yet there are already obvious limits to this. If I murder a man I
cannot sell that burden by contract, such that if I'm convicted
another will go to prison in my stead.[1]

These carbon trades feel a little bit more like this last case than
selling a car. Should one get to commit a tangible harm and then
offload the responsibility? [2]

[1] actually I think this may have been historically possible in some
cultures.

[2] This is a Kantian question - because clearly under Utilitarian
analysis I can simply claim a "greater good is served".
Pitch Deck – Market Size B2C Startup
Hi everybody,

It's the first time i make a startup in the B2C space and despite having some very preliminary ideas (2) for monetization, my main goal initially is going to be user acquisition.

Given that I already struggled to find numbers to derive TAM, SAM, SOM and the business model isn't conceptualized in actual $ number, can I express my TAM, SAM and SOM in terms of users instead of $?
That's the education store.

That is a good point. USA should quit NATO entirely unless we start getting paid in direct cash payments.
If technical competency had any bearing on stock prices they should've been at 0 since long ago. Their stock price is tied to the amount of clueless/shitty companies that will still cling onto their products regardless of what happens, and I don't think this incident is going to change much.

Imo, this is an awful take. Programming can have such a deep knowledge that you may have very little other skills.

I'm surprised this comment even showed up on HN.
Growing up I never hung out with the computer nerds, the anime nerds, or the hobbyists(?) but the actors, musicians, magicians, and artists I knew were definitely not straight-edge folks who avoided sex, drugs, and alcohol.
I remember doing traffic school about ~15 years ago, and realizing that there were several points of the law which I had not adequately learned when I first got my license. Over the years of driving, I've gotten better at some parts of driving (being safe, etc), but I'm _sure_ there are parts of the law that I have forgotten. (e.g., is it legal in my state to turn through a crosswalk if the pedestrian is past the halfway point?)

I feel like if driver licensing required re-certification, everyone would hate that, but it would have the added value of making sure to reinforce that people knew what the law _was_. Maybe it'd be less painful if our insurance already subsidized the cost. I feel bad even advocating for such a thing.
yeah, the last item I bought from Etsy showed up in an Amazon box. The seller legit just bought the item on amazon and shipped it to me for 2x the price.
It's funny because my school (back in the early 80's) had Hasselblads but nobody wanted to use them because they were old - like 20-30 years old even then! They were a nightmare to operate, had no light metering let alone expose control - but damn! You could get some great photos if you said your prayers right! I had a brand-new Canon AE-1 Program but still liked using the Hasselblads from time to time because you could get some great shots that you could enlarge to poster size without any grain! Incredible to think how much those cameras would be worth today!
> I think that’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Wouldn’t it be logical that when people use snippets from Stack Overflow or classical algorithms from Wikipedia the pasted code was actually treated as a dependency so you can get warnings and updates in case errors or security issues are found? It also helps for proper licensing and attribution.

Why are you assuming devs don't just both use random snippets from Stack Overflow and also download packages with 900 transitive dependencies from NPM at the same time? It's not one or the other.

No, you just need to wait for it to become ripe and open on its own. Parboiling is to get the right texture. If you just fry it, it’ll taste like the raw fruit: good but not deliciously fatty.
Self-hosted full Atlassian stack (jira, confluence, bamboo, bitbucket) for 6+ years. ~200k tickets. To be honest, it just runs with minimal issues.

Mostly downtime is just upgrades. I can remember a few times we've had to add (JVM) memory as our usage increased. Not sure what we're going to do with the discontinuation of server product line. We self-host to keep source code, etc. more than one configuration mistake (or zero-day) away from exposing it to the world.

I'm definitely skeptical of dinging people for 4-star reviews, but each of these bullet points are encouraged by Etsy because they improve customer satisfaction and sales.

The petition does make a good point that some products may be better just shipped dirt-cheap without paying for tracking, but overall Etsy is pushing sellers to provide better service and do things that bring in more revenue, both for them and the seller.
> I think the easiest solution is to charge for support. No issue reports or PRs unless you’re also a paying user.

Agree 100%. Your time and effort isn't free. Users who want some of it should have to provide value in exchange.
Haha of course he got away with it
to bolster its defense against NATO, Russia's largest threat which is present in Eastern Europe, these countries are not non-aligned. Taking important strategic positions gives Russia leverage, reduces defense burden and ensures access to important geographic access points (like to the Black Sea). It increases Russia's opportunities and margin for error and diminishes their opponents'.

It's kind of a weird question honestly, why do you think India, China and the United States pursue territorial interests and fight wars? History and conventional warfare hasn't ended just because countries have nukes.

Is there any recommendation system people we actually happy with? They all seem to suck in my experience
Independent, small scale sellers aren't priced out. Cost of doing business includes sales costs - that needs to be integral to the price.

What means is that these craftspeople don't produce enough value for the markets they are targeting.
From what I've recently found, the search results have been completely overrun with ugly 3d printed goods, most being duplicate designs.
That's fast! But it looks like it still needs a server, and I'd rather avoid giving the internet arbitrary code execution rights to some server I pay for and risk having my bill explode or my account terminated for abuse.
I bet they screwed up royally, deleted some data and are down to either rebuilding it from logs, caches or other side-effects, or using data recovery software on the storage drives (which might involve third-party companies). I can't see many other reasons why this should take 2 weeks.
it helps a lot if you have one or two allies who agree with you. but when you are the only one it feels very isolating, like everyone is against you. and not everyone is willing to put up a fight alone.
Who knows, but etsy should be very low in that list.
I should check this out!

Bernoulli's Fallacy is pretty new though, it was originally published (hardcover) in August 2021. Which likely explains why GoodReads has more ratings, since it's barely been a year yet and books like this aren't exactly the mainstream vogue.

Thanks for the recommendation though, I'll (eventually, backlogs are a disease) have to add it to my collection.

I'm looking forward to ~5 years from now when hopefully a lot of these small launch companies have gone under. They suck up insane amounts of venture capital and engineering talent. A few companies will certainly rise to the top, Rocket Lab likely being one of them.

My company (non-aerospace) just had a couple engineers leave for a different small launcher. I wish them success, but also wish their talent could be applied elsewhere. I say this as someone who just left the space industry.
My own self-hosted services have about 20 min downtime a month.

I’ve never – not at any point in the past 10 years – gone over 24h of downtime.

JIRA will now have 3 weeks downtime.

Distributed systems have complexity that grows superlinear, which leads to more and longer incidents.
Do you think part of this is that Netflix has assumed zero effort from user model? My experience has been that Netflix does an ok job of recommendations, but fails at overall discovery experience. There is no way for me to drive or view content from different angles easily. I end up googling for expert opinions or hitting up rotten tomatoes to get better reviews. Netflix knows a ton about me and their content, but seems to do a poor job of making their content browseable/discoverable overall. I do like their "more like this" feature where I can see similar titles.
Anyone have recommendations (no pun) for more in depth resources on the subject (large scale recommendation systems)?
This is one of the top reasons for preferring single-family detached housing. I lived in apartments for many years, and when I moved to a house I felt like I could finally relax for the first time in years.

For the people advocating for high density housing to alleviate suburban sprawl and all of its environmental problems, I do appreciate the importance of that, but if I can avoid living in an apartment again I am willing to go to almost any amount of trouble to do that.

You can easily pass the 'look good to an uniformed observer' test with human faces. Remember, faces were something GANs were doing near-flawlessly back as far as ProGAN all the way back in the dark ages of late 2017. (Then StyleGAN did non-photograph faces, like anime - see my ThisWaifuDoesNotExist for a demo of that.) Doing them as part of a larger composition, where the face is a small part of the images and may vary much more than in closeup centered portraits, is harder, but take a look at how Facebook's DALL-E rival Make-A-Scene does it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.13131#facebook They specially target faces as part of the training process, with face-specific detectors/losses, and so the faces come out great.
