I am working on a project where this is a very definite possibility: https://stamp-protocol.github.io/#arch-recovery
I think you might be reading into it too much. Unless the README really is saying you should use it, as opposed to just describing what it is.
Yeah, I remember a study they did with music where they separated groups and in each group different bands would come to dominate based on luck (whoever got momentum first). Wish I could find it, it was quite a time ago.
Nothing past calc I I’d reckon. I think one of the issues was how function calls can seem arbitrary at first (esp in python). You have imported functions, user defined functions, built in functions, etc. so when students see a function call, they aren’t confident in knowing where it came from, causing distress.

Most students really dislike anything that appears arbitrary which I think plays into this. One pre-med student I knew despised math after being taught 0!=1 because it seemed seemed completely made up to him and broke established rules.

Part of the onus falls on instructor to clear up areas like this (e.g. explain the cardinality of the set containing just the empty set is 1, 0!=1 allows for many formulas to be expressed tersely, etc). The other component of this is that the students who dislike ambiguity self select out of the program.
AB testing is how you isolate a change and measure the impact. It's the only real way to be able to associate cause and effect. Best you can do otherwise is measure something over time while making changes. You can try and correlate changes with outcomes but it's hard to be sure the change is what drove the outcome.

Most of the musicians I know make the bulk of their music-related income from private tutoring, its what funds the rest of it. They usually also will have a day job of some sort.

Recording and producing music, making music videos, etc is a massive cost center that may or may not break even. Usually not.

Playing live gigs is usually a money loser for most - venues often have extremely unfavourable terms (especially when starting out - a lot of places are pay to play, where you have to market and sell the tickets and at best get to keep what's left over after venue hire is covered).

The real money is basically in teaching the offspring of upper middle class people how to play an instrument.
There’s a short part of the solar sailer sequence with various landscapes that I always found particularly impressive for the time: https://youtu.be/8ruRruqKf5M?t=2m32s (the music isn’t the original in that clip)

You can actually download the weights without an account:

git clone https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom

You will need Git LFS and ~330GB of free space though.

It is possible to run inference locally, even without very much RAM/VRAM (though it will be very slow). Get the most recent versions of "transformers" and "accelerate" from git, and then:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('./bloom')
inputs = tokenizer("Hacker News is", return_tensors="pt")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('./bloom', device_map="auto", offload_folder='offload', torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

output = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"].to(0), min_length=30, max_length=30, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist()))

After the model is loaded you can also look at where it put each part of the model (GPU, CPU RAM, or on disk):

print(model.hf_device_map)

Here's a screenshot of it in action on my machine, which has 256GB RAM and 2xA6000 GPUs:

I guess I am not the only one. I know it is ignorant and irresponsible, but I have to tend to my mental health. I can be of no help if I completely loose my mind. I now mostly get my news from word of mouth sources. Wikipedia front page has a decent low key summary of the news.
It's not even a crash yet. Last time, it was from $19600 to less than $3000. We have to go to less than $10500 for 1 BTC to reproduce what have happened last time (and it can be even worse this time, why not).

I don't care. We don't build crypto for speculation by amateur investors.

Honestly it sounds like they are both trying to hide behind different terms.

Twitter constantly uses "mDAU" which they define as

people, organizations or other accounts who logged in or were otherwise authenticated and accessed Twitter on any given day through twitter.com, Twitter applications that are able to show ads, or paid Twitter products, including subscriptions.

which would miss all of the "spam bots" that use the API to publish tweets.

While Musk is constantly claiming general Users.

I'm no contract lawyer but this is certainly going to be a fun one to watch.
I don't fully agree with arguments that Silicon Valley is full of America's current meritocratic elite scratching each other's backs. But I do think that tweet speaks to that argument.

The board's responsibility to shareholders and other stakeholders in Twitter doesn't seem to enter his awareness — just everyone getting along, where everyone means a select crowd of entrepreneurs and investors.
Lots of visible light is reflected in the Hubble image from the dust causing it to look like it does. As others have said, the JWST does not suffer from that as it "sees" past those frequencies revealing new details instead.
These figures are interesting for me. One day of contracting dwarfs that.

You'd have to be absolutely passionate and have another income to do this, which is a shame. I think every craft should have its place. Clearly the market is terrible for writers; a bit like indie game makers nowadays.

I hope you get a breakthrough though; because if you keep doing this, you're clearly passionate about your craft!
It's not even scaremongering at this point, it's just expired. Every 5 years or so something like this comes up, and it's used as another data point in the slippery slope that you all are so sure is happening. And yet, if I buy any random PC off the shelf in 2022, there's still a huge chance that it'll boot from a Linux ISO without having to jump through any hoops.

I think what's happening is, at some point in the past someone decided that there was a conspiracy to lock out Linux, and while that future hasn't come to pass, the total number of Linux-compatible devices keeps expanding, and therefore we keep getting examples of vendors locking things down too hard. These appear to be examples of the trend, but they're an increasingly small percentage of the total pool of Linux-compatible devices. It's the same thing that happened with Android. You can still root most phones, despite some being locked down. Things have reached an equilibrium. As I said in another post "there are more forces than Microsoft at work here".
The React team is working on a beta version of React tutorial that is much more organized and up to date (using function components and hooks instead of classes) than what’s in the production site: https://beta.reactjs.org/learn. I think it’s easily the best tutorial out there because it explains concepts very clearly.

A former manager of mine had a whole side gig writing direct-to-kindle romance and erotica for quite a while. Not bad money in it either.
Am I right to call out most of this problem is caused by incessantly reusing types (because defining an additional type for i.e. CREATE vs PUT actions is soooo hard.
Yes, some of us have had enough, and we decided to walk away from it. Enough people now realize that it's all BS for clicks.
Scala has a weak version that handles self-tail-calls only. It causes significant trouble for e.g. iteratee/streaming libraries in Scala (like FS2) where you always have to use a trampoline.
That's not a valid answer to the question asked. He did not steal anyone's territory, he did not steal anyone's money. He is out of the game, he did not testify against someone else to get them to prison.

Yeah I can imagine that someone might still be ticked off by him and try to kill him, but you said your original claim with so much conviction ("he has enemies everywhere, with vast resources....he will never know peace") that you clearly know who you're talking about, and your response is "you don't think he made any enemies along the way", which makes no sense.
We placed trust in News outlets, and they abused that trust to a criminal, near civil war. Let them all go bankrupt.
Nothing of that sort. Repeated investigations of Chinese debt by different groups yield the recurring theme of confidentiality, very high interest rates over very compressed repayment periods that border on predatory, non participation in Paris Club (which exists to resolve debtor nations' problems in an orderly, reasonable manner), extensive use of cash collateral in offshore accounts... All of them very much against modern and international norms, and extremely secretive.

It’s a valid thought, but it would really be like trying to take pictures of the sky from underwater and using AI to make it look like it was taken from out of water.

This means: the AI has to predict what it is supposed to look like and for that we would need out of water pictures as reference in the first place which we didn’t so far!

And then: even if we have these new out of water pictures as reference, the AI generated ones would still not show what is real, but instead a fiction. The fiction can look believable but it cannot be studied to derive facts from it. It’s like trying to study an AI generated language.

This sounds like my friend who literally believes that buses will go extinct within 3-5 years as every vehicle will self drive. It’s not thought all the way through.
Thanks ... you made my day!
That sounds like the author is defining good as "what I like, and can't or won't tell you."

> but they are so pervasive that everyone knows how to use them.

Nope. I know people first-hand who don't. Hell, even I don't know how the average person does it. My own phone's camera app doesn't detect them so I had to find a random 3rd party app and trust that it's not stealing the info. In fact I'm not sure I've ever used the stock camera app on any phone to scan a QR code before. For some folks it might be "press Camera and scan", but for others it's way harder than it looks.
Sam Harris explores a bit of this.

The thing that fascinated me was his exploration of the realness of experience among practitioners and where that experience seems to comes from.

As a child of Christian fundamentalism who ran away as fast as I could, it was eye opening to start to see the basis on which many of these religions were founded, which religion manifesting as a symptom of something deeper within ourselves. Not a mystical or metaphysical deeper, but remnants of tens of thousands of years of evolution and humanity’s wrestling with consciousness and meaning.

As an atheist, I find it fascinating.
> an extensive background check, a process that takes 3-4 months under normal conditions

Makes me wonder how many minutes of actual investigation take place in those months.

Seems like there was serious opportunity for process improvement all along that was never done, and now things went from bad to worse.

Once you realise that the "bad news" is not current events, but rather a poor experience driven by chasing clicks instead of quality, the reasonable response is to disengage from the machine and go elsewhere.

A simple example is the number of new orgs still running daily live blogs of current events trying to generate hype.

I expect if we looked elsewhere, there would be an uptick in engagement in moderated, thoughtful sources such as podcasts, substacks, etc (and of course plain social).
No, you can't. Many speculation vulnerabilities have been single-threaded.

There are few news stories I find worthy to open. "If it bleeds it leads". For the most part, if isn't someone I know bleeding, I'm skipping it. Also the share of so called news posing as editorials makes it unworthy to open the vast lot of them. Also, editorial or not, Its often about how unfair the left is treated and I'm not interested in that any more. Tech wizz bang stories aren't as interesting to me as it was in the past, mainly because I've heard of it all (almost). Not interested in scandals of the so called elite anymore because nothing ever comes from it, usually.

Other so called news stories like that about inflation, isn't news at all, we all know already. The stuff that is really news, and really important, and really imminent, isn't covered because it embarrasses the establishment. Should you point that out, you are censored.

Funny how a business can survive without customers.

But that is just me.
The increased resolution is extremely important given that the diffraction threshold is function of the wavelength and the mirror diameter.
And you can clearly see that in the MIRI images at a longer wavelength that have a noticeably lower resolution compared to Nircam.
If Webb mirror was as big as Hubble the resolution would have been bad in the long wavelengths.
Hubble couldn’t have had a better resolution with better instruments, he was already limited by its aberration problem and the new instruments were designed to mitigate that problem.

"Recent history" if you would prefer.

They say Sparta practiced eugenics with late-term abortions according to legend though we don't have any physical evidence of this to my quick search. Wikipedia offers this quotation as a source[0]

Haeckel, Ernst (1876). "The History of Creation, vol. I". New York: D. Appleton. p. 170. "Among the Spartans all newly born children were subject to a careful examination or selection. All those that were weak, sickly, or affected with any bodily infirmity, were killed. Only the perfectly healthy and strong children were allowed to live, and they alone afterwards propagated the race."

The fundamental difference is that Terragrunt is a wrapper for Terraform, compared to Terramate, which generates native Terraform code that runs in all kinds of Terraform tooling such as CIs, etc. Also, Terramate adds new concepts such as eg change detection, which is helpful when building pipelines. Terramate may also be used together with Terragrunt.

For details please see https://blog.mineiros.io/introducing-terramate-an-orchestrat... and https://blog.mineiros.io/terramate-and-terragrunt-f27f2ec403...

Its certainly not ignorant or irresponsible and if you feel that way, I suggest its because that's the message the news dealers want you to feel.

Dobelli sums it up best:

Very wide tables pair well with columnar stores like ClickHouse, not with row-based ones.
I’ve debated back and forth on whether it’s a good idea to have separate input and output models for each endpoint, because trying to have a generic structure that’s usable everywhere makes it really easy to pipe output back to input for a PUT, but it’s difficult to express constraints like, this field cannot be updated, only created or these fields are required but only for create and update supports a different subset of the fields again.

I think ideally you want seperate structures but you need tooling which helps you map between output/input structure automatically (in strongly typed languages, it’s easy in Python or JavaScript) and that’s just lacking currently.
> MVCC could use delta records instead.

Every design choice is trading on thing for another. In your proposed case, you get storage savings in exchange for complex data structure design. And if the performance is a wash or not depends on how many columns and the types of the columns.

Probably better to understand the limitations of the tools you're using. If you can live in those boundaries, that's awesome. If you can't but can find a tool with different constraints, also awesome. If neither, your choice becomes understanding the limitations of your tools or infinite recursive optimization.

Did anyone find it curious that the revision process highlights perceived moral impurities (immigrant deportation commentary, MAGA similarity) as story failures / problems?

There’s a profound sub-narrative here on self-censorship, what is or isn’t acceptable within the bounds of fiction, and how genre in-groups police themselves toward Acceptable Messages.
superamit (or anyone else who writes fiction really), would you publish your stories on a "substack for fiction"?

I already built it, although it is in Portuguese. https://www.confabulistas.com.br

It would be easy to translate to English and try it in the US market. Is there any interest for that?

It is just like Substack. You create your page, people subscribe and get your fiction by email. The main difference is that people can read your books from the beginning, from the first chapter, in installments. With Substack (or any newsletter platform) new people can only get the future emails from the time they subscribed. In my site people will receive the first installment/chapter of the book (you can have several books published in there, one can be "Short stories").

It has the "paid subscribers" feature also.

I built it mostly to myself, as I am starting a side-career as a fiction writer wanted to own my audience. Fiction writers currently don't have a good platform to both distribute their work and gather an audience. What I built does the job pretty well I think.

Any interest?
Noteworthy in this security release: 7 out of the 9 issues fixed are stack exhaustion bugs, meaning something in the stdlib is recursing too deeply and with a large enough input the runtime hits its 2 GB stack limit. Unlike it says on the announcement, though, the resulting crashes are not actual panics, but fatal errors that you can't recover from.

Most of these are pretty easy to hit, too: App taking in XML files larger than a couple of megabytes? Probably affected. Decompressing untrusted gzip files? Yeah pretty likely also affected. Doing static analysis or linting on Go source code? Definitely affected.
What I wouldn't give for a first person view from a planet around a double star... oh well.

He got some pretty honest opinions from people about the idea of going to the Ukraine, that mostly matches all of our representatives actions.

So it's just pushing the problem a bit further away by hiding your real key. See, you have to be able to recover your account even if you've lost every single of your electronic devices. Every one of them. Including flash drives. No data. No backups. None. Zero bytes.

The fundamental problem with keys is that they are files. You can't exactly memorize one, not without torturing yourself. You have to store them somewhere extremely reliably but at the same time completely secretly.
> So in the end it turns out there doesnt exist "a demo page you could use right now to check if you are susceptible" after all because browsers removed attack surface

The original claim you made was "[the original attacks] didn't [work in javascript], otherwise there would be a demo page".

We have shown you such a page. You are not susceptible to that original attack anymore. Congrats. Isn't that all you were asking for? How have we not proven exactly that exists?

We haven't shown you that you are still presently susceptible to anything of course, but that's not what you were claiming.

And it's of course impossible to prove that you are not susceptible to any bug whatsoever, though I don't think many people would be surprised if there were still sources of accurate timing left in the browser
