Russia does not want to "integrate" (i.e. adopt Western "values" for the benefit of those Western countries), Putin has said that out in the open back in Munich, in 2007, I thought this global hegemonic thing that the US has had been left out somewhere in Iraq or/and Afghanistan.

> and then the US buys them cheaply from other producers, and China keeps making products. What’s the issue?

Afaik the US doesn't produce as much, it's China that does. In case of a future proxy war between China and the US cutting access to mineral resources might have been one of the main tactics adopted by the US. It's easier to do that when China brings in its resources via marine transport (it's a well established fact that the US dominates the planetary oceans), way harder to do that if said transport of resources is carried out "inside" a huge landmass like Eurasia.

> This is how crypto operates. Buyer beware.

This statement rings very true for me, and perhaps is the bit we agree on. With crypto there is no "oversight" that blocks you from depositing your funds into unsafe contracts, etc. It's up to you as the user to do your own research before depositing funds.

There are many projects within crypto that ARE well built, and have been carefully tested, analyzed, slowly released to the public, etc. I like having the ability to make this choice myself instead of relying on some gatekeeper to decide what I can do with my money (cough "accredited investor rules").
I have no problem believing the story, but I wouldn't necessarily put it beyond the placebo effect. While panic attacks can have very real physiological symptoms, their origin is almost exclusively psychological. So if you truly believe that something prevents panic attacks, there's a good chance it will actually do so - no matter how realistic it is from a purely objective, physiological point if view.

The comment that you respondend to:

> > Sane languages have pointers which either can't be null or require you to check explicitly.

You cannot try to dereference a nullable pointer in safe Rust. It has got nothing to do with Optional (Some/None).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the WHO and CDC and similar orgs shouldn't be all over this, but maybe the press should wait until the experts start sounding alarms, instead of sounding it themselves? I honestly don't know, given the train wreck that happened with COVID.

I feel this is a very hard balancing act. I worked for a small team where all members would constantly think "out loud" in a public channel. It felt very nice for everyone involved, no one would criticize and the discourse was at a very pleasing level. Then, someone joined our team, that while smart, has a very intimidating way of stating his opinion.

It took maybe two weeks since this person became active on the channel for private conversations to start popping up.
That's not how the funds flow works. The capital call structure was baked into the GP's raise from the LP -- if that happens at ATH and is highly beneficial to the GP, then the LP has a contractual obligation to adhere to that structure.

As sibling comments have mentioned, of course, whether the GP exercises that contractual right is far more complex and based on the relationship to the LP; and indeed, VC is a relationship driven game, so the natural behavior on part of the GP is to take their time, see how things shake out, use leverage to get better deals and take a wait and see approach.

The point is, though, if a VC chose /not/ to take a wait and see approach and instead go out guns blazing to take advantage of a buyer's market -- they would be within their rights to do that.

The question is more how often rather than how long. For example, this page: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/elisp.ht... takes nearly 15 seconds to fully load for me, but then I can live for literally weeks without having to refresh it (ie. other than on sporadic Firefox restart). That's quite obviously different in the 1/10-of-chapter-per-page style of docs that Rust books seem to like.
Datalog programs are values. You can store them in local variables, pass them as arguments, and return them. If you have two Datalog values you can combine them into one (effectively it's just the union of them). This allows you to write small "Datalog fragments" and stitch them together into a larger program. The type system ensures that this stays meaningful.

There are some differences here, but you can't for instance use a string pointer with string functions in go either. IMO The distinction between pointer and optional is not as vast as people make it out to be.

Hi itake, thank you for your questions!

Hulse focuses on simplifying the deployment of pre-trained models at the moment, so you could expect to still run your training on a proper GPU cluster. On the ease of use side of things, I'd argue cloud VMs are not necessarily easier to work with: setting up your firewall & all the APIs to handle queries towards your pre-trained models is pretty cumbersome.

On average a PC is used at around 30% of its computing power, thus leaving a good chunk of CPU/RAM available which would be more expensive to rent in the cloud than use locally.

I completely agree with you about the data access with colleagues. Right now, the user right management is very simple: you share a cluster with people, who may come to analyze your data and vis-versa. This could be an interesting addition!

Right now, the relay servers are hosted in the US by AWS. Running things in a p2p fashion could also be done (thus removing the GDPR problem - if combined with the above point, could help give the desired granularity).

Considering the AWS S3 egress bills, I agree with you! I think vendor lock-in is a problem especially when it constrains you to rent more expensive cloud servers (here AWS) to avoid extra costs.

> Well, how do you indicate to it that you want to create a database? Does the database read your mind too?

I'm not sure what you mean. You still instantiate resources with serverless products. With an AWS Lambda function, you go to the Lambda web console, click "Create a function," and type in the code for that function (of course this can also done via the AWS API). There's no mind-reading going on. For AWS Aurora, you still go to the RDS web console, click "Create a database," choose Aurora as the database engine, etc.
This has been clarified by the actual presentation: X670E gets PCIe 5 on all CPU links, X670 gets PCIe 5 on the first slot and storage, B650 gets PCIe 5 only on storage.

Of course, the chipset itself has nothing to do with what connectivity is provided to the PEG slots since those run straight to the CPU - this is market segmentation in action, the CPU simply won't turn on those feature-bits if you don't pay for the premium chipset.

Also, as noted, on AMD the chipset has nothing to do with anything anyway. It is just an IO expander, it doesn't boot the CPU or do anything like that, and it is entirely uninvolved, out of the loop entirely, when the CPU is talking to things that are attached to PEG direct lanes.
It depends on your requirements. This is the description from the Nemesis, a cost-is-no-concern ultra-yatch:

> The NEMESIS ONE will be the World’s Fastest Luxury Foiling Sailing Yacht, able to break the 50 knots speed barrier, while flying on computer controlled hydrofoils. [1]

So a breakthrough fantasy hydrofoil is trying to reach 50 knots. I suspect that, looking at significant figures & complexity of build, for anyone wanting to be able to get to 75 knots (88 mph) there'd be nearly no one justifying hydrofoils. Even at a reduced speed like 45 knots, I suspect the control problems & additional drag of running a foil start to be pretty unruly & inefficient, and that wing-in-ground very quickly gains appeal for simplicity & efficiency both.

Once we start thinking about wing-in-ground, with denser air, it makes even more sense to start looking at ideas we explored earlier in aviation, like lifting bodies, where we can reap yet more efficiency.

The best counter-example to myself I can come up with is the VT Halter Marine Mk Mod 2 High Speed Assault Craft[2], specs unknown. But I tend to think of hydrofoils as more like the 180t Sea Slice[3], powered by two 3840 hp diesel engines, capable of 30 knots. My eyes & intuition all tells me flying is more effective at speed, and that we have a lot of efficiency we could be gaining from wing-in-ground/sea.

So Bloomberg thinks people choose the numbers in their wallet addresses and are responsible for any perceived numerological meaning. Are they for real?

Sure the guy could have sat there recreating addresses until one includes this number, but i consider it more likely this is the result of searching randomness for patterns they want to find.

Someone noticed the pattern in the randomness and Bloomberg includes it, as it makes the antagonist more evil and the story more interesting.

> Part of the problem is that there's no clear line.

This is what baffles/wonders me about the state of the art in building companies. It seems so anecdotal and ad-hoc. Case studies and good advice, while they exist, are from "previous generations" and "we do it differently" because "culture". It feels like society has to continuously reinvent solutions to managing people and projects rather than building upon proven and effective strategies. I guess, perhaps, I am betraying my own lack of knowledge of this domain. Maybe there are tried and true tactics and I've just never experienced them. Related, it really feels like there should be a sub-field of "sociology" set on improving the efficiency of groups of humans using objective methodology that yields consistent and reliable results...
In the text, the word "responded" is a link to this study:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098221...

> A pessimistic cognitive bias is manifested in an increased tendency of subjects to classify stimuli as likely to predict punishment (or a reward of less value). We were able to use the same approach to test for cognitive biases in honeybees because bees are capable of associative learning and can base judgments about novel stimuli on previous experiences [24, 25, 26, 27]. Using an olfactory learning protocol for conditioned proboscis extension, we trained honeybees to extend their mouthparts to a two-component odor mixture (CS+) predicting a reward (e.g., 1.00 or 2.00 M sucrose) and to withhold their mouthparts from another mixture (CS−) predicting either punishment or a less valuable reward (e.g., 0.01 M quinine solution or 0.3 M sucrose; Figure 1).
In some languages, the concept of "may or may not be there" is cleanly separated from "exists in a separate block of memory". There's plenty of pointers which will never be nil - checking that they're nil at the entry and exit points of every function is line noise.

>I've never been in a plane. I don't go on vacation. I don't have a drivers license. I don't feel bad, because i rarely do things i should feel bad for.

Sounds like "symbolic nonsense to feel better about yourself". By reducing your personal carbon emissions a North American can probably go from 22 tonnes of C02e/year to maybe 5 tonnes CO2e/year. Maybe a little less if you really try. So you can cut maybe 17 tonnes / year * 80 years = 1360 tonnes over a lifetime. That's about the CO2 emissions of a plane doing 2 return trips across the Atlantic. If you're from Europe your baseline emissions are probably lower (by almost a factor of 2 between the USA and Western Europe) and therefore so are the potential savings.

Although cutting one's personal carbon footprint is a good first step, individual lifestyle changes aren't enough to make a difference. They're OK, but not more than that. Technical, cultural and political solutions are all required, and although there might be parts of the original article that are misguided at least it's trying to engage with the problem at more than an individual level.

> This sounds unreal. How did your supervisor managed his subordinates so they wound not spend their time in leisure activities?

Self-pressure? I cannot spend my work time in leisure time, otherwise I ashame. It is pretty even the opposite that I experienced: I felt ashame in my leisure time to not work to get more progress on my phd.

We were only two phd students supervised by the same pair of supervisors. In fact we saw our supervisors a lot. However this was more in a friend way. Every time we switch to work-related discussions they found excuses to leave or just say that they will take some time later to ask our questions / reveiw our drafts (and this never happen).

In the case of the other student, he was more lucky and find an unofficial supervisor that help him a lot. I find some support from another researcher at the end of my phd. And thanks to him I had some review of my manuscript. This gave me some confidence to finish the writing.

I think that early traction is the key indicator of potential future success. Unless you're working in an industry where early traction is literally impossible to attain (pharmaceuticals, medical, VR hardware, R&D, etc.), the market tends to be pretty responsive.
