I may believe almost all of this is overblown and silly, as like a matter of cryptographic research, but I'll say that Matt Topic and Merrick Wayne are the real deal, legit the lawyers you want working on something like this, and if they're involved, presumably some good will come out of the whole thing.

Matt Topic is probably best known as the FOIA attorney who got the Laquan McDonald videos released in Chicago; I've been peripherally involved in some work he and Merrick Wayne did for a friend, in a pretty technical case that got fierce resistance from CPD, and those two were on point. Whatever else you'd say about Bernstein here, he knows how to pick a FOIA lawyer.

A maybe more useful way to say the same thing is: if Matt Topic and Merrick Wayne are filing this complaint, you should probably put your money on them having NIST dead-to-rights with the FOIA process stuff.

Not if you're earning a million a year. Figure it out. You can make 250k/year almost anywhere in the US and live lavishly. If people want to trade easy living for a cool hip city, that's their choice.

Why not? Isn't part of transhumanism the idea that a person could control their own biology? Trans people (especially those who have actually transitioned) seem like early adopters to me.

I think the histrionic overreaction to trans people shows one of the things that will hold any kind of real transhumanism back though. If you think we have a culture war now wait until we have extreme life extension, really powerful intelligence augmentation, and the ability to more deeply alter our physical form.

A certain subset of the religious and social conservative sectors are going to crusade hard core against any of this stuff. You can already hear it on the far right and most of this stuff doesn't exist yet.

Exactly. This whole thing smacks of regret on an impulse buy. And as Musk should well know: regret is no cause for contract annulment. Twitter is going to be his Waterloo if he can't follow through on the deal, they're going to force him to perform which means he may have to sell a whole bunch more stock to people who know he has to buy. That isn't going to help at all.
My understanding of the research is that the "horrible, pain and misery" is mostly wrong. My understanding is that pre-tech hunter-gatherers lived fairly pleasant lives, without a lot of pain and misery, with less work, less stress, more leisure, more play. However, it was much more possible to have an accident that leads to immediate or near-term death. And yes, the infant mortality rate was much, much higher. Higher quality of life while you're alive, but lower security (although higher individual security than pre-modern agriculture societies).

The real problem with wanting that lifestyle is that it has a huge footprint in terms of relatively-good land required to support a small group. That's even true for the best land (places where fish just come to you, like parts of California or British Columbia), and it's even more true other places. So agriculturists can raise 100x the population, and thus 100x the army, on the same land. And they do so, and then they take your land.

So to me, the answer to 0xbadcafebee is:

nope, not unless you have a way to buy a lot of land and keep the surrounding culture at bay
If you have cell coverage, you may want to take a look at https://www.particle.io/. Device availability is somewhat limited, but the service is cheap enough ($3/device/mo I think?) and their tools are pretty good.
Many of us grew up in "trapped in my own home on a street with no sidewalks, only being able to go where my parents take me and finally growing into driving age so that I can go from parking lot to parking lot." and escaped to cities or loathe the suburbia we live in today.
> "Transhumanism" is already here, in a way. We have medications including some complex drugs, most people at least take multi-vitamins, we have surgeries and sometimes do weird stuff like transplant limbs or faces. Even simpler, we have knowledge of diet and health which lets us stay in better shape than before

This reminds me of the religious claim that the the second coming of Christ and the judgement isn't an upcoming event, but actually already happened in 70 A.D.. It's entirely a rationalization around the fact that Jesus predicted (written in Matthew, Mark, and Luke) that the apocalypse would happen during the lifetime of the audience he was talking to.
Looks like the 175B model will fit on 8x A6000s and is available by request only.

This model seems very undertrained, as it's a fine-tuned version of the OPT-175B model which was only trained on ~180B tokens (and further fine-tuned on less than a billion?).
Further it uses the old GPT-2 tokenizer with a quite small token vocabulary and BPE so it will never be able to figure out how to rhyme, for instance.

I do really like that again they have shared a training logbook.

Notable, in California EV and hybrid batteries get a ten year 150,000 mile warranty.

Speaking of Bolts, two years ago you could buy one with 30k miles on it for $15-18k. Can't now!

The argument that EV's are too expensive based solely off the purchase price while ignoring everything else gets tiresome. My take is lower maintenance costs and depreciation beats out the difference between the cost of electricity vs gas. 5 cents/mile vs 12-15 cents a mile. That's only 7 to 10 cents/mile difference. EV's cost less to run even if gasoline were free.

a land value tax wouldn't crash bill gates' ag land investments because ag land has relatively low value, so will also have relatively low tax. whether it would makes those investments net negative or positive is dependent on the specifics of the investments.

i'd disfavor a national LVT however, as i disfavor more power being concentrated in fewer hands. it should be a state level concern at most.

"rewarding the first person to write them down is counterproductive."

One of the reasons why IP came to be was to incentivize people to publish details of their inventions, instead of trying to keep them secret.

Not everyone did (famously, WD-40 formula is still a trade secret), but most innovators did, and other people could inspire themselves from such published works. Sometimes in areas that didn't infringe on the original patents.

A public knowledge whose use is artificially restricted by law probably still beats a culture of secrecy.

Have owned a Mazda3 for the past fifteen years. Maintenance costs have been negligible. 22% less than negligible is… negligible.

Saving a few hundred dollars over the course of fifteen years by buying a car that’s tens of thousands of dollars more expensive doesn’t make sense.

The fuel savings might make up the difference, though. Silly to highlight maintenance expenses when fuel costs are an order of magnitude greater.

Oh I know that. Italians are brilliant people and much of what we have today including art, literature (not just technology) we owe it to them. But you must acknowledge economic grievances have consequences on the health of a nation and its populace. Italy is a favourite spring travel destination for me and over the decade I have seen how the people in that place, especially in South, have become poorer, become increasingly pessimistic and in general have turned to nihilism (not all but significant).

Wage is and has been low and the cost of living has been rising rapidly and young people (not all but many) are subscribing to very dangerous ideologies (both left and right). This stifling will only get worse, even in the middle of a tightening cycle, ECB is insisting they have to keep buying Italian bonds to keep them afloat, what signal does that send? Even euro dollar market is taking a hit partly because of the political turmoil in Italy.

There is a huge migrant population that are “ghettoized” so to speak and there doesn’t seem to be a long term plan with them.
Commodities inflation hits the poor more. They pay more on things like food and gas which have commodities predominantly as inputs. The richer people buy more stuff which has higher labor inputs.

At the same time though long-term commodities inflation is cyclical, while wage inflation tends to be sticky. If wage inflation actually causes raises in wages for working class people and isn't just contained to SWEs then long-term this is likely beneficial and would lower disparity in the long run. But this would take a decade of wage-price inflation. Short term it is a regressive tax.

But the Fed is trying to go back to the conditions of the past 40 years where wage inflation has been capped at around 2% which will just squeeze the lower classes even more.
When it comes to the number of times DJB is right versus the number of times that DBJ is wrong, I'll fully back DJB. Simply put the NSA/NIST cannot and should not be trusted in this case.

Why not?
I'm actually using an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 machine and I don't consider it an old machine. A Pentium 4 would totally be a pretty old machine, for example.

Anyway, I find this as a good practice. First, to continue using perfectly working machines, and second, to develop in machines that aren't that powerful to be more conscious about resources used by the software you make.
> Now, I don't gamble, but in December 2020 I was able to use that platform to "bet" that Donald Trump had lost the US presidential election he lost the previous month. I "won" a bunch of money. Because lunatics had decided facts aren't true, we can just make up whatever we want, and it took a few weeks for that to get knocked down and meanwhile you could just bet against these morons.

Yep. Betting on politics in 2020 was as close to free money as you’ll ever see. On election night, the odds for Texas flipping blue were 70/30. Literally free money.
> Legally ? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, and law can frequently have surprising implications in the twists and turns of the its logical structure, which - as a bonus - differ by time and exact place.

The contract states the place of the law. Specifically: in the Delaware Chancery Court. The contract also states the time and conditions of the contract.

Have you read the contract? Its public. Furthermore, the date of the court case has been set for October. It seems unlikely that Delaware law is going to change dramatically between then and now.
For the same reason that I think it's good for people to live in a different culture for a while, I wish it were possible for people to live in a different era for a while.

There was a time when it wasn't smoking and obesity that killed people, but smallpox, plague, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases. When a single epidemic could kill a double-digit percentage of the entire population of whatever unlucky region got it. For reference, COVID killed maybe 0.2% and HIV killed 0.4% over forty years.

To quote Munroe, our heroes have slain one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and here you are complaining about sitting in a cubicle.

Forty percent of the people in your office would have died before the age of five. Many of the rest would have died young of now completely avertable causes. Perhaps something as small as a cut that got infected, or fucking diarrhoea.

The natural maternal mortality rate is something like 1.5%. That's per birth. Because half your children will die, most women will have half a dozen children (modern estimates for hunter gatherer fertility rates). Do you feel lucky? Another reason women had half a dozen children because reliable birth control wasn't a thing.

You know what else wasn't a thing? A working justice system. You may fantasize about a just and noble justice system that runs on tight-knit personal connections in a small village where everyone knows each other, but everything we know about criminal justice tells us that small insular groups of people are actually terrible at justice. My people mete out justice, your people punish on whims and gut feelings, they are extrajudicial lynchers. Actually we're all extrajudicial lynchers, because no judicial system, remember?

I could go on, but I have to finish reading my printed book teaching me the fruit of thousands of years of accumulated wisdom. (I'm a grad student and I'm trying to learn quantum field theory). It took me two hours of my underpaid grad student labour to make enough money to buy the book. I bought it because I like reading paper books. I could actually just download it and read it on my LCD display connected to the entire world's knowledge. That laptop was a bit more expensive. Maybe two weeks wages. For reference, it took maybe ~500 hours labour to make a shirt in medieval times. When they had division of labour and looms. Hope you don't mind wearing the same animal hide for years on end.
It's inevitable that artificial organs will be better than the natural ones. But you first have to reach parity.
I know how it works. I have worked as a programmer for over 40 years, so I'm "senior" in terms of years of experience. But in some contexts I wouldn't think of myself as senior. It depends on the project and the team and the tools. I got involved with a financial application a couple of years ago, the senior developer has fewer years programming than I do but he knows a hell of a lot more about the application domain and trading algorithms, so in that context he's senior to me. I've worked with programmers almost 1/3 my own age who are senior to me in some aspects. Humility and knowing that you don't know everything are part of calling yourself "senior" in my opinion.

Ability to cooperate should be a hard requirement. History and actual studies have repeatedly demonstrated that individual personalities and team dynamics (mainly around communication and cooperation) are first-order drivers of project success. Any programmer with a few years experience knows that one person on the team can derail the project with conflict, and that is far more damaging than choosing the "wrong" language or framework or tabs vs. spaces. A programmer who can't communicate (both with the team and with management and customers), cooperate, compromise, mentor junior programmers, listen to ideas, and put a plan for success together that leverages individual talents is not "senior" except maybe in years.
Not really. For the same reason that "here's your github login" doesn't equate to you suddenly being able to be effective in a new company. You might be able to look things up in the code and understand how things are being done, but you don't know -why- things are being done that way.

A lot of the instances in the post even show the NSA giving a why. It's not a particular convincing why, but it was enough to sow doubt. The reason to make all discussions public is so that there isn't an after the fact "wait, why is that obviously odd choice being done?" but instead a before the fact "I think we should make a change". The burden of evidence is different for that. A "I think we should reduce the key length for performance" is a much harder sell when the spec already prescribes a longer key length, than an after the fact "the spec's key length seems too short" "Nah, it's good enough, and we need it that way for performance". The status quo always has inertia.
While I agree that batteries are getting better and cheaper, there are several issues with your sources.

1. There are only 9 data points for only 1 brand of EVs on that sheet. This is essentially anecdotal data. There are 10 data points (just as many) of batteries under 80% of capacity with varying mileages. What happened with those? As a consumer, I don't want to get bad luck of the draw and be one of those.

2. The 1 million mile Tesla is on its 3rd battery pack. It's not a valid observation. At best we can surmise that a battery pack can last roughly ~333,333 miles under good conditions. But this is still a premium vehicle (P85) that is out of reach of most consumers with a large battery pack.

What would the numbers be for a Nissan 45 kWh pack for example? If it's roughly half of 333k, then it's not as impressive anymore. Maybe 1/3 of that?

The biggest issue though is that EVs still carry a substantial premium above ICE vehicles, which can only be realized in savings over a long period of high gasoline prices ($5+).
> you have to count the entire Democratic party

Progressives wish the Democrats were progressive. There's a progressive caucus, and it's stronger than it used to be, but is still far from steering the party.
Maybe, but that's just not how it normally works and Musks reality distortion field does probably not include the courts. You sign a terms sheet conditional on DD and only afterwards do you move to put in a binding offer. Doing it in a different order is a waste of effort, after all, what's the point of doing DD after you've already made a binding offer? You can't use it to change the deal parameters and you can't use it to break it up.
Doesn't seem strange to me. If I am suing a company for false advertising I'll claim that their behavior was aimed at inducing me to purchase the product at an inflated price. Not because I think they were specifically conspiring to target those lies directly at me personally, but because I am the one that is a party to the lawsuit. If Twitter was lying to inflate the stock price in general, then they were inducing everyone to buy at an inflated price and Musk is one of those people.
Don't forget that was a joint effort by 3Com w/Huawei.

I know this was a typo, but tools like https://shop.audified.com/products/mixchecker (with a literal "sedan" button) and articles like https://ask.audio/articles/the-final-mix-using-your-car are sadly indicative of the emphasis in modern mastering on sounding good on car speakers - which is the entire problem in a nutshell.

> There are no in-your-face sponsorship plugs, extravagant vacations or excessive product hauls. Instead these videos take you through the little things in life, like making breakfast, reading or tending to a garden, elevating the mundane into something wonderful.

Not quite true, I just went through a few of these channels' videos, and I can see promoted content, which they've declared as well. For example the "아지Aji살림_Housewife Story" channel does have promoted content and is pretty obvious about it.

It's more that they've found a new 'genre' to differentiate themselves from other vloggers, and that genre is growing in popularity.
That isn't the reality for 95% of the workers in the economy though.

Many government or government affiliated organizations are required to comply with NIST approved algorithms by regulation or for interoperability. If NIST cannot be trusted as a reputable source it leaves those organizations in limbo. They are not equipped to roll their own crypto and even if they did, it would be a disaster.
