We're still reserving the right to fiddle around with the meaning of our negative compression levels. We think that we may be able to offer more compression at the same speeds by completely changing our search strategies for very fast compression speeds. But, there is only so much time in the day, and we haven't had time to investigate it yet. So we don't want to lock ourselves into a particular scheme right now.
> This is just for your own information, you cannot use such results in court, for example.

Whats the point of that then? If its accuracy is not good enough for court, have you just bought an experience?

I always used to get a sore throat from being a passenger on long vehicle journeys when leaded petrol was around and I was informed some years later Pectin is good for pollutants like lead.

Never heard or seen any studies that back up this claim though, but I still bought a few bottles and necked them to see what sort of effect they had.

I think N Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) may be useful for moving metals around the body.
Generally, storage just gets cheaper, not better. Storage bought early is just as good as something cheaper bought later. Its resale value has fallen, but not its usefulness. You will always be best off buying storage as late as you can get away with.
I don't understand how this is supposed to work or why we would believe it would work. Why would we want politicians haggling over the nitty gritty details of how to regulate, for example, pollution? Applying cost-benefit analysis to make rules for countless pollutants and toxins? When they themselves apparently would rather delegate this to experts?
The practical answer is that every country needs a body of law to "bootstrap" with, and English common and case law isn't the worst place to start.
Every creature from the New Deal is probably unconstitutional.

Additional context on that threat of court packing is that the Supreme Court was already invalidating and gutting the New Deal! Its such an important story to me because my grade school history books all upheld the New Deal as this monumental and amazing thing.

From what I can tell, 75% of it (or 75% of the programs it created) was declared unconstitutional, and everything else just hasn't been challenged yet!

And of the things that were challenged and declared constitutional, it was under the threat of court packing! Now, 3-5 generations later, the Supreme Court just can't imagine how society functions by ruling accurately to begin with! I'm pretty interested in any court unwinding this incongruency.
Can you prove the lead is from the airplanes? Land near airports was historically cheaper so the correlation isn’t causative.
Who’s historical court would you like to reference? We’ve not been a country for as long as there have been traditions and laws about finance in particular. We fought for independence from a monarchy and its kingdom, not to be free from governance.
What I found interesting is the iterative process. Failure is simply experience you carry forward to inform future decisions. Its not necessarily a permanent judgement that cripples you.
I know a lot of republican Tesla owners actually who also love to own the libs and weirdly dont believe in climate change, the Tesla is just becoming the iPhone of cars
Agreed. It's not only government debt - everyone is indebted (people, businesses) at a historical high. How much can you raise interest rate without crushing them I don't know.
On the other hand how much can you let inflation go up without crushing the working class and emerging markets indebted in USD?
It's an impossible situation.
All of my contribution are always referenced and well sourced.

My references themselves (from impact factor 10+ journals) were attacked and the cause of rejection. I'm not pretending that I know more than someone else; I'm leading the audience toward where they can assess the data for themselves and make their own conclusion.

I do this by referencing high quality, peer-reviewed, reproducible research. I don't post opinion (on Wikipedia). I state facts corroborated by multiple sources.
> or public danger;

Whether or not we're in a time of public danger is definitely up for debate, but you can't just leave off the second condition in an or statement and pretend it doesn't exist when trying to claim the statement is false.
hey did you know plants absorb c02
> On a basic level this seems to make sense but the practical application of this would mean that legislators would need to explicitly pass legislation anytime a regulatory body needs to address a specific issue or regulate some behavior

Yeah, can you imagine the horror of making the congressmen actually do their job and pass the laws, instead of delegating all their authority to unelected, nameless, and effectively unaccountable bureaucrats, so that they have more time to spend on fundraising and campaigning? This will literally grind US into halt, and bring it to similar stagnation and stasis it was under before FDR.
You might simply be sensitive to Roundup, which is found as residue in bread in North America, since it is used as a pre-harvest desiccant.

Exactly, when people get a decision they don’t like suddenly the courts are “unfair” and acting “rogue”. If your side agrees with it then it was the obvious and “logical/fair” ruling.
In most businesses that kickback is decisive. But most commonly in HR and facilities.

I program billing systems, and even account reconciliation systems for payment processes. It's not a nightmare, it just take a greater understand of accounting. If you want to be an engineer that works on financial systems, take the first year of classes that accounts have to take and pay attention.
> The presidents are passing hundreds of them during their terms.

There is a major lack of oversight on Executive Orders.

BUT for the most part they are an accurate use from what I can tell. Usually they are merely aspirational goals for agencies to implement, much more similar to a CEO's quarterly goals for subdivisions. The President is a dual office role of being head of the executive branch, and being head of the military.

I don't really see that much straight up unilateral ordering of specific actions, and those would be the only constitutionally questionable ones.
Beating 5% can become harder and harder when everyone is running away from risk, its not always rational if you're in a tech recession.
Nonsense. Urine isn’t good for drinking water, but pissing in a reservoir has no effect. Why don’t aircraft pilots and mechanics have cognitive issues since they are exposed to a lot more AvGas fumes than the average person?
And the two major alternative starting points used in practice are Roman law or Sharia law, both of which are likely even less acceptable to someone who doesn't want the baggage of English common law.

On the other hand, in the civil law systems when new countries are formed, as soon as you get the core laws passed (which takes some years of transition) you do generally make a clean start where only the new code of laws matter and everything else is discarded - you explicitly choose which parts of earlier code get included in the new laws, and that's it, old laws get pulled out only if there's a relevant dispute about some events which happened back when those old laws were in force.
> Another option is to rely on existing billing platforms, built by specialized teams. If you’re considering choosing one or switching, and you think I can help, please reach out!

To note, this option only absolve of _some_ of the complexity and burden. You still have to understand:

- what problems the billing platforms is solving for you, how they're solving it (does it match the process you need ? -> you also need to know how it should work) and what to provide them to make it work.

- what problems they are _not_ solving, and you need to deal with on your end

A good service provider will help you at least on the first part, and educate on the parts you need to be aware of, but there's always dark corners that easily get overlooked if the business owner didn't do their homework.
11. Turn off the view of yourself. In almost no other situation I know of are you staring at a mirror of yourself while you're talking to someone else.

I would still say AI is supremely hyped, and its usage remains in niches. Somehow it still takes thousands of engineers to run Twitter. Not sure how recommendation engine improvements are going to turn the world upside down. I’ve been promised that self driving cars are coming in 6 months for 15 years now, in a perpetual shifting window.
Personally, I had a specific time (Friday mornings) dedicated to journaling.

Before writing anything, I would read the previous entry.

Usually, I'd include a small goal I thought was achievable for the upcoming week.

That allowed me to slowly build up good habits. I'd reflect on how well my attempt over the past week went.

Beside the habit forming, I found value in just reading my thoughts from the past week. It was helpful to recognize negative thoughts that persisted week to week. And I spent time thinking about ways to improve the situation. It was also helpful to recognize desires I had that I wasn't making progress on and translating those into actionable steps.

The _key_ imho is the reviewing. That helps you set yourself up for improving instead of ignoring issues and stagnating.
Excellent explanation.

I wonder what % of the entire judiciary budget could be paid via the budget SEC division of enforcement.

From that standpoint, this assertion of jurisdiction could entail a better staffed judiciary.
AC is a huge load now, with electrification heating will eclipse it. I can confirm this via my electric bill with a heat pump.

Similar correctness issues are a big part of the reason that, several years ago, I submitted a series of pull requests to Julia so that its entire test suite would run without memory errors under Valgrind, save for a few that either (i) we understood and wrote suppressions for, or (ii) we did not understand and had open issues for. Unfortunately, no one ever integrated Valgrind into the CI system, so the test suite no longer fully runs under it, last time I checked. (The test suite took nearly a day to run under Valgrind on a fast desktop machine when it worked, so is infeasible for every pull request, but could be done periodically, e.g. once every few days.)

Even a revived effort on getting core Julia tests to pass under Valgrind would not do much to help catch correctness bugs due to composing different packages in the ecosystem. For that, running in testing with `--check-bounds=yes` is probably a better solution, and much quicker to execute as well. (see e.g. https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl/issues/282)
Maybe where you live, but here every 50s house has soldered copper.
As the parent of twins the nature vs. nurture debate is easily settled: it's nature, with nurture as a finishing touch.
The courts and agencies still have the option of finding a different rationale to reach the same desired goal.

If they can't, then they have to rely on Congress, if they can't then national government cant be involved.

Simple order of operations.
What life choices did you make to be able to have access to private equity markets but also go to month-long festivals? Also what festivals are a month long? I have a feeling we may be in different tax brackets haha.
Probably best to build a bucket list so life doesnt become too boring with just work, prioritise them, have some contingency backup and then see what you think you can achieve.

It can take time working back from where you want to be in the future, you'll have a lot to learn, things you didnt consider will appear, other people may try to sidetrack you for their own reasons which can mean sacrifices.

Above all else try to plan ahead, maintaining physical fitness is good for the brain because the aging process will get you to some extent potentially making your job/aspirations harder.
> The university, meanwhile, claims it has not only the legal right, but also a moral duty to protect Einstein from those who would besmirch his name

My first step would be to ask the Google recruiter/manager where they obtained your information. That is likely the same place the others obtained it but that is a guess. Do you have a linked-in account?
I’m left leaning but I’ve been forced to vote Republican because democrats only try to protect rights when they aren’t in power. Once you elect then to be majority then there is nobody left to fight for your rights because they are fat and happy and to lazy to defend what they supposedly stand for.
I live in the Bay Area. Where are you going to add houses here that aren't protected land? Zoning isn't even a thing here; I live right behind a Denny's. Some of your assumptions seem vastly off.

There are places like Mountain View that don't allow building above four stories, which is crap, but stuffing people into towering buildings where they're not allowed to own the thing they're living in or immediately priced out of it (which serves as an investment) doesn't solve the housing crisis.

Edit:

I had a bit of a snarky reply, and I apologize if you read that. I pay a little over $3.5k for a house (that allows a big dog); if I lose this place I'll pay over $4k in rent per month and that number goes up by the month. I'm being forced to come into an office, which requires me to live near by. If I can't live near by, then I have to accept a lower paying job. Do you see the complexity of this issue?
This is how debt peons are made, historically. Kinda sad to see the same patterns in the modern world.
> I love this. I hope this trend catches on, I can't wait to gut these bloated agencies and force Congress to get back to work at the risk of a completely paralyzed society if they don't.

You seem to be making the bold assumption that both parties are acting in good faith. A completely paralyzed society is actually a victory for one party.
Here’s another interesting one, storing energy in heated metal, and later converting the emitted light back to electricity using specialized PV cells: https://youtu.be/Gn7pfYKB7DA
The fraction of storage in the form of batteries will diminish to near zero, except in cars and garages. That will be a large absolute amount of batteries, but will not grow at anything like the rate generating capacity will.
Disclaimer - I have started reading this but have not finished it completely. Having said that, it looks very exhaustive and well written and well worth my time to finish it. A bit of feedback to the OP about the page though - the left and right content areas introduce clutter, IMHO, and make it hard to remain focused. But thank you for putting together this resource.
There are many different types of plastic and they have surprisingly different molecular structures. Enzymes are remarkably specific catalysts, so an enzyme that eats PET [1] can’t eat another type of plastic, like HDPE [2]. So one solution could be to engineer an enzyme that can’t eat the liner material.

I’m not sure if HDPE would make a good liner material or not, but just as an example, the differences in molecular structure between PET and other plastics are big enough that it would take an array of different enzymes to eat them all.

Funny how tech people (like me) care about pollution from emissions and plastic unless it’s related to rocket launches or huge plastic cables on the ocean floors. Then, nobody mentions it.

A judge being nominated by a Republican isn't exactly a great indicator of the political philosophy of a justice.

Quite liberal justices of the Supreme Court were nominated by Republicans (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/07/john-paul-stevens-an...). To be fair, prolly still too soon to tell with Trump.

At the founding, the Constitution documented all the things that were going to be different, but courts were intended to continue to apply the rest of the common law as it was. So, it's less about being beholden to England's legal history as much as it is being beholden to American history as it was at the time. It's just that most of the legal writing that courts depended upon was published by English legal scholars.

One of the downsides of the fixed written Constitution being hard to change is that you end up with these strange rules where the law today is dependent upon intuition about how a current problem would have been viewed through the lens of the common law at the time of the founding, and we mostly only have English legal treatises to fall back on, so it feels like being beholden to English legal history.
Or they're still making ludicrous amount of money in the current scheme of things, and shareholders prefer hedging their bet and investing into clean energy through different companies to not put their eggs all in one basket.
Yea I’m on mobile so didn’t want to deal with full quote, it I assumed public danger meant like martial law. Do you know of any precedent on that part?
The UK peak demand is surprisingly low. Maybe because most people don't need air conditioning and the primary heating source is natural gas.

Finland needs ~15 GW in cold winter evenings, and that's for a population 12x smaller than in the UK. I've seen numbers like 720 GW for the US peak demand, which is comparable to Finland.
I’d love to hear more about your setup. I want to do that…
Likewise.

I've been through a number of startups and there are jobs that I really really dislike down to my core.

My 2nd startup I did the CEO role and i hated every day of it -- I really respect those who can spend day after day in investor meetings, sales calls, marketing catch-ups; that person isn't me.

My 3rd startup I decided to stick to technology - with a heavy dose of management - and partner with someone who could do the above.

Startups are already barely tolerable as it is, you can at least help yourself a little by being able to focus on the areas that bring a little joy into your life.
The code of Hammurabi (eye for an eye) seemed to be popular back in the day.

+1 on both tools. you can go from 0 to well oiled very easily. pick a process and transform it.

knowing both very well, i’ll try to help you choose:

retool is great when your logic and api calls are much more sophisticated. it is more powerful but also less turnkey. i’ve built apps that would have taken me several days in less than an hour and had the degree of control to make the workflow as i wanted it. the widgets are powerful and super configurable. the editing experience is meant for engineers or very savvy technical people with limited engineering experience.

airtable is more turnkey. you can more quickly build basic things. it’s used by a LOT of companies. the widgets and capabilities all work out of the box and are very simple and transparent. if something doesn’t work, it’s not hard to figure out why. the capabilities and how they’re implemented make it easy for non engineers to build a full blown workflow.

both are great so you should pick something medium complexity and try retool and something low complexity and try airtable. this will help you understand what’s going to be best for your company and use cases.
This is very inspiring, thank you! Having never done it, I know first hand how difficult it can be to get your ideas out the door. It looks like you found the perfect tempo and scope, tiny projects rock.
Yes, you reverse-engineer the latent. This is a very old approach in GANs by this point, going back probably to like 2015. (The canonical examples were making faces smile or adding sunglasses.) If you want to see it done for a lot of different models, check out Artbreeder: that's how all of the editing attributes are done.

Diffusion models don't really have a latent but the CLIP embedding would serve the same function. The problem is, OA would have to implement it themselves. There's no way you can implement it as a user with the current interface. (This is also true of alternative methods like gradient ascent or GEDI etc.)
no, it would not be playable, even with 35 ping
What holding tanks? They would have to be by the volume about the equal of where you'd discharge them.

This is just sad.
Also, "Advocating for a resigned alienation from one's work is advocating for living one's life for other people." I agree with that. I'm not advocating for resigned alienation. That's a very extreme interpretation of what I wrote.

I recommend finding a good work-life balance. Good work is a part of that. Working hard a good job with good coworkers is very rewarding. But putting all your eggs in the basket of your job is not.
> Yeah, can you imagine the horror of making the congressmen actually do their job and pass the laws, instead of delegating all their authority to unelected, nameless, and effectively unaccountable bureaucrats

1. Those bureaucrats are appointed by the President, whom you vote for, and by Congress, whom you vote for, and may be fired by the former. If you don't like what the executive branch of the government looks like, I have great news for you - you elect your chief executive! And people you elect appoint his immediate underlings!

2. In 2022, I wouldn't hold my breath for congress to pass any laws. Half of congress governs under the explicit mandate that the people paying for their campaign should be above any law, and the other half governs under an implicit mandate to the same effect.
* Move away from the camera to show more of your torso. The audience will get to read more body language, if they can see more of your body.

* Move the audience’s video as close as possible to the camera (make it smaller), that will have you look like you’re “looking” at the camera versus off to another screen

* have the camera as close to eye level as possible
You can pursue both excitement & smaller ideas as well! You can also pickup various other activities that are highly fulfilling, such as teaching (this could be mentoring juniors or teaching tech to college kids)

You could independently pursue smaller ideas that would lead to a greater fulfillment in life.

That being said, you can be entrepreneurial within big tech companies & run pilots for self made projects (gmail was created this way).
