This assumes all compute was crucial for business operation. In practice however, a lot of compute volume just serves expendable reasons such as for example marketing people trying to data-mine interesting leads out of terabytes of sales data. Stuff you do, as a company, while you're flush with cash and thus ready to spend some on potential opportunities. These things however are the first projects to be cut when times are getting rough and budgets must be tailored down to survive.

I didn't say anything about a historical movie. Sure if a historical documentary is more your thing, perhaps wait for it on the History or Discovery channel. But I'm thinking more like an Indiana Jones/Pearl Harbor/Apollo 13 style movie.
Let me see if I understand the left’s conception of free speech here.

1) A corporation producing a political movie about a candidate isn’t free speech.

2) But a corporation censoring content based on political views is free speech.
You can't just walk up to a bitcoin ATM, put in cash and get out bitcoin, you typically need an account associated with the ATM that requires you to be linked with a bank account or otherwise mandating very invasive KYC that basically turns them into a functional intermediary in the sense that they can track all your payments and arbitrarily deny service based on your identity like e.g. coinbase.

LocalBitcoins is not practical, nobody wants to meet up in the streets to trade cash for bitcoins.

Twitter is the furthest from a healthy community I've ever ventured. It's full of nutters.
It will partially solve locality/language dependency problems of following UGC laws though. There were enough of it for Mastodon devs.

I hate the miss-allocation of funds toward things that are objectively worse for the world. At least with loss-leading-mega-projects and rampant corruption, some of the money cycles back to contribute to society. I just see crypto a net tax on society in the wasted electricity, hardware for more novel uses, and the shear number of people being thrown at building a better pile of crap to extract money out of. Finance is and enough for that, but at least they tend to invest in things that often make people's lives better in some way .

Interesting model, it's an honor system to a read "free" (as in not toll-gated) book on the web, with a starter price of $40 USD. https://beautifulracket.com/how-to-pay.html

I admire the model, and the try-before-you-buy but somehow paying $10 for a book I won't get around to reading ever most likely is a lot more appealing, whereas starting a book knowing that I should pay $40 somehow is off-putting enough to not make me want to try.

Good on the author for being creative. Just sharing how my grey mush responds to the whole situation.

Sorry but as this is a press conI doubt the thing has really passed “peer review” properly speaking.

There was some hype about: FTL events, life based on cyanide not phosphorus…

Careful with “peer review” when the set of peers is invested in the same type of results.
Yes, basically a bunch of huge telescopes across the planet have their images combined to give an effective mirror size of the entire earth, so one satellite is not going to cut it (even including the fact that IR has a shorter wavelength).
Unix applications run as a user, so it's not like they have that permission. Looking at that profile, it restricts write access to the home directory to only the Firefox profile and some config files.

I guess that makes sense, but you'd have to be aware of it when uploading and downloading stuff (it would only work from a specific designated folder).

Thank you! And, yes, I agree. I don't want FireFox or Chrome reading ~/.ssh or ~/.gnupg or any other directories in my home that it has no business reading.

Maybe one day we'll have web browsers that don't have any C code. Nothing against C. It's a great systems language, but I'd rather my web browser not use it.

Browsing the web is probably the most dangerous thing the average computer user does.
There’s multiple devices to detect SIDS. They have socks that act as oximeters, they have a camera to detect breathing, and they have sensors that sit under the crib pad that can detect the small movements of the baby breathing.

Also if you add a fan to the room and keep it on while the baby is sleeping, it reduces SIDS by almost 80%.

I'm not saying I don't buy crypto because it crashed at this point in time. I'm saying continuously over a very long period of time I haven't bought crypto, and that's based on the information I have had over that continual period of time. Nothing has changed for me with this crash except that some people who I think are wrong are going to shut up now. (edit: I dream - I'm sure they'll find a way to tell me they're just buying the dip).

I'm saying I don't buy Bitcoin because at no point in the last few years have I seen it be used for anything other than speculation. There are no dividends. There are no voting rights in anything. There is no actual asset aside from a number that a blockchain says you own. It's like owning a share of a company that doesn't actually exist. The only upside is I can buy it and then get lucky and sell it for more than I paid for it, to someone who will almost certainly eventually get unlucky when things crash because it is and always has been useless. I see it as being no different than roulette, a game I also don't play.

It's a fascinating technology on which to build a digital currency, but rounding down, currency seems to be none of the actual usage.
Look at the CAPM for the financial content, and mean-variance optimisation for the maths. It's basically minimising a quadratic function, but in many dimensions, with two constraints - the efficient frontier. You use Lagrange multipliers and arrive at a neat linear system.

You can do the same thing with your WHERE clause and ANDs by always starting them WHERE 1=1 as well.

So there is no "SQL spec" per se, there's an ANSI specification with decades of convention and provider-specific customizations piled on top. This support for trailing commas is the best you're going to get.

This argument has become so tiresome.

Speech laws become very blurry when it comes to corporations. I'd get in trouble with regulators if I went around saying the herbal supplements I sell cures cancer. Government forces companies to published compelled speech when it comes to food labeling or alcohol/cigarette warnings.

Where does the line exist? I don't know and I'd love to see a court rule on this.
If the value of it went to 0, I would happily buy Amazon, and take it private, which would entitle me to all of the profit that it generates.
Should the AI be able to use a real human's SSN? And resume, to be able to pass a background check? Can a real human show up to interview, and take a drug test? Can we have real humans provide references, or must those be faked too? Must the computer go to high school and college, to have real transcripts to validate?

Do we need to have a computer baby trick doctors into issuing it a birth certificate, so it can get its own SSN, and then the computer baby needs to have a physical body that it can use to trick a drug test with artificial urine, and it also needs to be able to have either computer-generated video and audio meetings, or at least computer-generated audio calls?

Or can you list some jobs that you think require no SSN, no physical embodiment, no drug test, no video or audio teleconfrencing?

Since you're accusing me of moving the goalposts backwards to make it "easy," let's have you define exactly where you think the goalposts should be, for your intelligence test.

Or maybe, replacing a human driver (or some other job), 1:1, for a job a human did yesterday, and a computer does today could be enough? If it's capable of replacing a human, do you then not think the human needed intelligence to do their job?
> But it sounds like the bulk of your confusion comes from a significant misunderstanding of what the stock market _is_.

I think OP would not be the confused one in 6 months time.

Stock market only cares about the future when people care about the future. AKA when there is optimism in the air.

The 2015-2022 wave of optimism was quite frankly uncalled for and overextended given the reality at the base level. Especially what happened 2020-2022.

Agree. Spaces is good and the others not as much. Though I do use the 'War in Ukraine' topic a lot.

The main diff though is that Twitter for a moment in time started taking some shots. Not that they were all the best shots. But for my first two years there it felt like the company took nearly 0 shots. That shift happened with Kayvon.
They inject a liquid polymer solution into the water+glycerol solution, in the area they want it to be. 'Immiscible' means they won't mix, it'll just form a homogenous bubble/blob in the water. And they carefully adjust the density of the water+glycerol ahead of time to match the density of the polymer, so the blob of polymer neither floats nor sinks. Surface tension affects the shape of the blob caught in the ring mold, which is created ahead of time to produce the shape they want. Then they cure it, 'freezing' the liquid polymer as it solidifies. There's no liquid inside when it's done.

I don't have any background in finance, but it seems like there are a couple of possibilities.

First, given the recent precipitous fall in the NASDAQ, there's speculation that Musk will lower the offer (which seems quite reasonable).

Second, I'm not sure there's any reason to assume these new equity investors are paying the share price Musk is paying. If Musk pays $54.20 a share, and needs to raise 25% of the acquisition cost by issuing new equity, he could sell 49.99% of the new company at say, $30 a share to his partners and still raise the required capital.

Not a physician either. This is an interesting result and is deserving of being followed up. That being said, there are many acknowledged causes of SIDS so this biomarker is unlikely to end up being predictive (or correlated) with all causes of SIDS. As has been mentioned elsewhere in the tread, suffocation on objects within the crib was responsible for at least some cases.

What is interesting to me is that this is a biochemical marker and biochemical disorders are known causes of SIDS. Newborn screening, which varies from state to state, can catch many of these disorders. This result is interesting because it may lead to other studies that identify other pathways/enzymes that represent markers or causes of less common causes of SIDS.

MCAD deficiency, the most common inborn error in fatty acid oxidation, is a biochemical disorder that is one of the more common causes of SIDS. The infants simply run out of easily available fuel for their metabolism if untreated and can die during fasting (i.e. in their cot in the middle of the night). Giving starch or other complex carbs before bedtime is one of several treatments for this disease, with the overall goal of treatment to prevent the individual from entering a fasting state, as that is when they metabolically decompensate.
Look at all the comments on those videos and you can see those theorie are still quite popular.

As a gen-xer, I agree wholeheartedly that the 80s transition of Americans from being people to being "consumers" was a soul-sucking cultural exercise that has created misery all around.

But crypto bros aren't trying to escape that. They are doubling down on being homo economicus because now they're investing in financial objects that are completely decoupled from even representing something as meaningful as a share of ownership in a business.

I think young men with this mindset will play whatever game society places in front of them. They just need a playing field where they can feel they can compete and have a chance to be seen making a home run. Crypto was there so they jumped on it.
At the same time, Hungary did not allow transfer of military aid to Ukraine thorough or over its territory. Not speaking of providing any military aid of its own.

The underlying mechanism of a heart, for example, is known. But they still search for pigs to take hearts for transplant.
Yeah, I think the article/study is misleading. The authors of both are making assertions that "it's hard to predict how humans pair-up" based on broad datasets.

The opinion is presented atop the data, instead of approaching it granular-ly like this:

Given a single man-woman pairing, the author analyzes the pair and provides an anecdotal/hypothetical assertion of what made the two lovebirds connect. If they are self-reportedly happy, the researcher should also makes a hypothetical assertion of what sustains the pairing. Both of these by collecting a set of observed, qualitative facts. Then categorize the connection, group the connections by type, and then make deductions.

Right now, the researcher is seeing that A and B have no similar data. This would look a lot different if approached with common sense "A's relationship makes the most sense because____" and "B's relationship makes the most sense because_______", and then draw connections from these two anecdotal observations.

Not only, that, modern CPUs have transistors that switch in 0.1 ns. So even if they got to that speed, it would be 100,000x, not 1,000,000x.

And, if they only got to switching in 10 femtoseconds, it would be 10,000x, not 1,000,000x.

You might ask, what's two orders of magnitude between friends? But a job that takes a minute is quite a lot different from one that takes going on two hours.
>I don't want FireFox or Chrome reading ~/.ssh or ~/.gnupg or any other directories in my home that it has no business reading.

Both browsers already do this for the processes that are exposed to the internet. The software shown here additionally does it for the entire browser (with the caveat wrt uploading/downloading that I explained, and maybe some more gotchas that aren't immediately obvious).

(You may understand this nuance, but I wanted to point it out, as it's literally what the browser sandboxes do)

From my experience, even people used to variation still struggle when it is the wrong kind of variation. It's a bit difficult to explain but I have seen it happening regularly, including once when I tried to say something about Vancouver and it took a writing down to get it across. The other person was used to one southern American accent, Estuary English and European Globish at least.
I dunno, we understand the underlying mechanism of blood pretty well, but we’re still a long way off from being able to (economically) synthesize blood for transfusion.

This is one that I thought was compelling.[1] The trial ultimately failed but if you read the results the post-hoc analysis, it showed promise in mild and moderate subgroups of the ITT population. Most drugs today don't even target mild AD, but go after pre-symptomatic patients.

There was also benefit across most measures, but just not of statistical significance.

The trial had some major problems with appropriate controls, and is widely cited as a poster child for why the FDA should not require a control group to undergo invasive brain-surgery, and how this can taint the results.

It also showed a 89% reduction in amyloid Beta, the same proxy measure Biogen's aducanumab was recently approved based on.

Hi there! I'm actually the author of the main article. I actually didn't reference the second article you linked in my writing (I did see it, but did not go through it as I thought it was just a basic summary. In hindsight, I wish I had gone through it - it would've saved me some headaches on derivations!)

I did reference the second article, although the score-matching connection to diffusion models was not observed by Song but instead by Ho et at. I didn't venture heavily into the score-matching aspect for the very reason you cited - Song's article on the subject is second to none!
Huge worry for me as well. Let me remind everyone that aging is mostly about entropy, the exact same thing that causes an engine to inevitably wear out and break down happening to you and just like an engine fixing can't ever be as simple as just applying on procedure to all engines, because a million different things can go wrong, and there are a billion different unique people each with slightly different ways to break down. We're starting to go down a road of designer medicine and it seems very possible to me that some day we'll live in a world that a billionaire willing to spend millions a year can solve their aging. Employ a team of researchers to figure out what's breaking and put it right, but that the average person never will be

> if you are sufficiently high on an international watch list E2E is mostly useless.

Yes, pretty much.

> The way the Russian invasion of Ukraine was so accurately telegraphed by the US was a demonstration to me of how powerful our intelligence apparatus is.

Nah, they just had people infiltrate telegram/whatsapp groups and get the info from there. Russian army discipline in that area is very poor. Then Ukraine tapped into their actual calls for later intelligence.

The baseband is actually the most unhelpful place to have any backdoor. But yes, if you're a high level target you're probably getting observed

But that doesn't mean people should actively try to undermine E2E (again, it's not just against the government. I'm happy to keep it secret end to end, including to my ISP, the people on the same VLAN as me, etc)

But I agree in some aspects that the right is not absolute. But I'm actually less worried with something like Pegasus than a blanket general weakening of privacy for everybody

A study on relationships that doesn't acknowledge a data point of "I'm aging, lonely, and desperate, therefore this person is perfect for me" is likely flawed.

This should be the first law of relationship studies, i.e. this categorization must exist on account of being a large, uncomfortable yet prevalent truth.
