I oppose the extinction of humanity via needless carbon emissions.
I think the part we're disconnected on is "better". Will a couple extra grand a year make their family's life better beyond the amount they already have? Perhaps physical exercise or relaxing provides more benefit. Of course we probably can't answer this as it's specific to each individual.

I suppose I'm in the camp that finds it skeptical that it would be much benefit at that level. I might also view it as a negative to society as that gig could go to someone who needs it more. Granted we would then be admiring the ambition of the lower earner, which brings me back to me saying that the specifics matter more than generally celebrating ambition.
yeah they all pander to hypochondriacs and people who suffer from anxiety. Oh and they all absolutely prey on new parents. Never ever resort to the internet as a new parent, just call your pediatrician. As a father of two, i can't stress the previous sentence enough.
Wow sounds like exactly what happened at a $previousCompany-1 and exactly what prompted me to leave.
The data is the data, but there is a huge missing story that this analysis completely misses.

Why?

It is not appropriate to mix an all-cause mortality number (which is what this is) without actually tracking the underlying separation between groups to answer the why question. E.g. Vaccinated/Unvaccinated, WhichVaccine, Obesity, Age, WhichVariant, and the related ICD codes for someone's health.

Furthermore, it is a travesty to attempt to draw huge conclusions (which many are now doing) from all cause mortality at a population level without that important separation of data elements.

Because Covid in many cases does not relate to seropositivity, cases is not an accurate count, as some people with strong immune systems will never be considered a "case" [1]

We need strong analyses around health, weight, obesity, and other comorbidities, not data mingled bungled studies that look only at outcomes with no relationship. Tragically, this study points out that perhaps we should incarcerate entire populations, because if we do that, we can drive down death rates.

The multiple third party clients feature is huge for me. It’s means I’m not stuck with living with whatever set of trade offs have been made in the official client, and it means there are true native (UWP, UIKit, etc) clients for just about every platform that don’t use UI as branding and behave the way one would expect apps of those platforms to behave.

> If you can’t say global warming is bogus because it’s particularly cold out today, you also can’t blame global warming on it being hot or rainy.

And yet, we care a lot about the impacts of climate change, of which a particularly important and clearly visible category are the extreme weather events. We're not talking about it being hot or rainy, but a third of a county being flooded (Pakistan) or the worst heatwave ever recorded anywhere (China). And we're not just talking about one of these, but a lot of them.

Statistics is not just about averages. In fact those are often not the most interesting numbers to crunch. The chance of extreme events occuring is what matters, and when they occur we can calculate what the odds are now versus what the odss were before global warming: in this way we can 'attribute' to degree to which climate change has contributed to the chance of such events happening.

I don't remember which one, but there was an event which was 100% the result of climate change, which means there was zero chance of it happening before global warming.

I am talentless and untrained. Now with a combo of prompts and img2img, I can create awesome results on any topic and in any style that I have the rights to use. That’s a 0 to 1 moment. It didn’t get faster for me, it went from impossible to possible.
That's very thoughtful. Maybe I'll get downvoted but I'll say this:
One could just store this on the long-storage tech or in a temp-controlled seed farm in someplace cold with a computer, and english instructions on how to use this. Maybe one day a human (or even another being for that matter!) in the late late future will discover this and wonder what the hell this was about and how it really worked.
This thought occurred to me recently while skimming the formulaic and indistinguishable programming on Netflix. It won't be long before a GPT-3 script is fed to an image generator and out comes the components of a movie or TV show. The product will undoubtedly need some human curation and voice acting, but the possibility of a one-person production studio is on the horizon.
It reminds me of this, like 10 years ago http://blog.gsmarena.com/how-do-you-spot-fake-chinese-usb-ha...
Sure, but then you are hiring less skilled talent that is probably incapable of working on pricing and matching algorithms (which along with scale are the real advantage Uber has, since everyone can make a crappy iOS app and call it a day).

If the algorithms didn't matter then Uber wouldn't be maintaining 70% marketshare in the US.

Also, a quick look at levels.fyi says salary at IBM (i.e. your median salary dev) for a senior is 192k. Compared to 80k for a ridesharing coop, that's still quite the salary cut. Don't forget a lot of these coops are based in HCOL areas like NYC.

This is the way people have always lived (except for very modern times)
Every civilization starts building a tower.

Those at the bottom bring supplies to the top and maintain it.

Those at the top are tasked with seeing what is coming and making Wise decisions.

Those at the top forget about the needs of the bottom and instead focus only on vertical expansion.

Eventually the summit grows taller than what the base can sustain.

Then the workers at the bottom abandon the base.

The tower left unmaintained, collapses.

Similarly:

A bullet could have glanced off their head at any point in time. Without proper ballistics, their death can't be traced to the game of Russian roulette they were playing all by themselves in the middle of a field. If anything is to blame, it's the lack of funding for a rural gunshot detection network and helicopter-based emergency services.

It sounds like you have a good handle on targeting, where you can use contextual information to show ads users are likely to be interested in, but what about fraud detection?

Context for others: the high level of tracking in modern advertising is a combination of targeting and measurement / fraud detection. Without good fraud detection there isn't much keeping a shady publisher from bringing in a lot of bot traffic and cheating your advertisers. Very roughly, if I can successfully pretend I have twice as much traffic I can earn twice as much money.

That demo is amazing. I feel like I’m living in the future watching that. Great stuff.
This is tangentially related. Do you know why we have hair in armpits but not on back of the knees or on inner side of the elbow (between biceps and forearm)? Both knee and elbow can move in a way that skin touches itself (just like armpit), but the knee and elbow have only 1 degree of freedom, no matter how you move them, the skin cannot rub on itself. Skin can only rub on itself in armpit (2 degrees of freedom), groin (2 degrees of freedom), and butt crack (technically 1 degree but they are very close together and fulcrum are hips which are far apart not like single-jointed elbow so it can rub on itself).
yes, objective. bodies (i.e., independent beings) are required to invoke bodily autonomy, which brings with it the direct corrollary that non-bodies cannot invoke bodily autonomy. that's rational and objective, as in, it's beyond culture, beyond 'taste', towards 'truth'.

you countered with a subjective opinion hanging off an ultimately irrelevant legal triviality (that's also cultural, not objective).
Not when a large percentage of Americans can’t afford a visit to their doctor, that disclaimer is only going to be ignored and users will look elsewhere.
That makes sense. I'm wondering more about net benefit. Is it really a benefit if our GDP rose if we spend increasing amounts on stuff like healthcare and have shorter lives due to the constant grind of work? I'm not sure we can answer these questions, but I agree with you that as long as the ambition is properly placed and the system works well that it would be good.
Right. But what is hi worth? When the robot voice on the phone says hi before it gives me information I don't feel closer to that robot. I just want the information. The hi is a waste of time.
that's very subjective i suppose, i don't have much to compare it to. if by fun you mean stickers and animated emojis. sure. it doesn't get in my way. it is possible to find groups and people through searching for keywords.
i can name my contacts as i like. (which matrix/element for example does not allow, and that's a real problem)

the only thing annoying is that anyone can just talk to me, whereas eg. in wechat people have to make a contact request before they can talk to me directly. but i have the impression that wechat is the unusual one here, which a feature that i'd like to see adapted by other messengers too.

i also miss wechat's feature of being able to choose a custom name for myself in each group. but again, i don't know if any other messenger offers that.
Yeah, that was driving me nuts - can't PgDn nor use arrow keys. Doing so at any point after having scrolled down just resets to top. Very frustrating!
but a vaccinated population in which a vaccine is driving up adverse events would likewise contribute to All Cause Mortality would fall into this trap.

Likewise, extreme draconian governmental responses that destroyed economies, hurt supply chains, and drove many to suicide and substance abuse would increase all cause mortality.

All Cause Mortality is best when comparing outcomes between different groups A/B, but not at entire population levels which is what this "analysis" does.

We must not conflate cause and effect by using this flawed method.
On the 23rd of August, we talked about hiring for design systems roles. Catch the recording of our webinar with Jules Mahé, Audrey Hacq, Julien Vanière, and Jeannie Servaas on best practices to recruit and apply for design systems positions.
While I'm overall of the mind that nobody can really know what to expect, I think this may be a little more accurate of a reality than the aspiring Cassandras are trumpeting about. I'm willing to bet that most of the people who are going to utilize these technologies are people who never could afford a graphic designer to begin with. I'm sure some of the market will be lost to this tech, but a blackbox that shoots out passable images just isn't going to cut it for certain areas of the art market.

I also wouldn't be shocked if a big portion of the market for this technology ends up being the artists themselves. I personally know a painter whose creative process has been overhauled by DALL-E. Brainstorming the next project is easier than ever, and unlike the DALL-E images inspiring them, the resulting paintings actually have the "human-touch" necessary to illicit the deeper emotional response that a good painting should bring about. Adding depth to a model doesn't necessarily add depth to the output.

But like I said, I don't think anyone really knows what's going to happen. We'll see, I guess.
Its functionality is equivalent, its ease of use isn't (at least in my opinion)

with uBlock origins UI you can block by content type and then whitelist the domains which are still allowed and that feels less granular then the uMatrix configuration dialog.

But if you check the generated dynamic rules in the settings you'll see that it supports the same granular controls as uMatrix
I wonder what's the reasoning behind that, it sounds pretty braindead.
1. I didn't make claims about Covid response quality in different countries, so I don't have to use anything...

2. I might try to adapt a normalization scheme to countries reporting methodologies. Of course that would be complex and difficult to derive.

Yeah, code review is one format that can work for this, but my broader point is that trusting juniors to make architectural decisions even on the feature-level is a waste of time and effort. There must be oversight and guidance.

Very largely agree. Faggin made it all happen. Just that Noyce had an important role.
There is evidence that the performance of the models scale linearly with size, so moores law scaling is likely to get us some “free” improvement even if no one ever invents a better ML technique.
Absolutely. It's very odd to great people online unless the thread is specifically for introductions or something like that.
This is a pattern I am glad to see fade-away: lower TDP chips. Because you can just tell a modern chip to use however much power you'd like and it'll do GREAT! This has confused a lot of people who think low power is impossible! There is some silicon lottery, there is some difference in chips - some lower power, some higher power, but it's been increasingly faint & the justification for having separate chips has mostly gone away. We don't need lower power bin chips anymore: just set the power-point lower on the chip you have! That alone is great. If you want to get fancy, you can undervolt to drop idle some, restrict your max clocks, and it'll sip even less power.

This was a fairly memory-intensive task, but Matthew Dillon of DragonflyBSD writing up the Ryzen 2700X[1] he got in 2018 keeps coming to mind:

> I Enable XFR2, then set the PPT, TDC, and EDC limits. Set TDC and EDC high enough so they don't get in the way, then limit power consumption by adjusting PPT. By using the PPT limit instead of manually setting the CPU frequency, the motherboard gets the best of both worlds... it will idle just as low as it did before, it will still run one or two cores at full speed (~4.1 GHz), and it will ratchet down the frequency when all cores are loaded. Using a PPT limit with XFR2 is far, far superior to using manual OC frequency settings for the CPU.

> With standard XFR enabled in auto mode the 2700X will pull around 180W at the wall at full load. This might be useful if I had DDR4 3000 memory in it, but I don't, so there's no real need to pull that much power at full load. I was able to reduce this all the way down to 85W at full load without really impacting a concurrent -j 32 nativekernel NO_MODULES=TRUE test compile.

I really look forward to seeing how people throttle-down & get ultra-efficient 8c 7700X's with this new generation. (Especially now that the CCX die went from 12 -> 7nm.)

You just gave me flashbacks to this dude I contracted for. Dude had me working on utterly random stuff for like less than a week at a time. "Hey, make a visualization tool in Unity!" "uhhh ok but I don't know C#, and the backend is only 10% done, I suggest we focus--" "just do it! we have to move fast!"

I eventually started to get roped into investor meetings and he was just straight up lying to investors; nothing wrong with a little optimism or whatnot, but suggesting that you present-tense have some non-existent capability that'd take years to develop is ballsy. Paychecks started getting late and then not coming at all and I had to threaten to sue him.

Yes, I read that they had an interesting and it seems effective tradition of appointing successors who bring new teams into high ranking posts. The issue is that Xi is on the verge of breaking that tradition as far as I understand. And stagnation and gentrification of country government always ends badly. Sometimes very badly. We will get a change to observe China's course in real time so to say.

There's a higher comment that addresses this. It can effect the overall range of events, meaning both ends of the spectrum. A clearer example is that is can increase the probability flooding as well as droughts; they don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Europe's Benchmark Power Price Breaks 1,000 Euros for First Time
Tachyum’s Revised Prodigy Architecture – Chips and Cheese
Sometimes it’s just an initial drop in quality, other times it’s permanent. My favourite example is book binding: hot-melt glue has completely supplanted cold glue in mass production, despite being drastically inferior, because it’s (just barely) good enough, and it’s so much faster/easier/cheaper for production.

Many aspects of computer setting of works for printing also show a significant regression in potential quality (prose, musical engraving, &c.), though the right software and proper human tweaking can balance that out—but people seldom actually do as much tweaking as would be done automatically by the experts of old. And as for text presentation on screen… well, that’s just lousy compared to what an expert setter would do. But it does adapt to different media with no or minimal effort required, doing in one second what used to take days, and that’s a rather big deal.
As the company gets bigger, it naturally starts doing more rituals. Some are justified, most are a cargo cult.

The sad part is that since rituals are an inherent to a big company, following (and enforcing) rituals is synonymous to being professional. And fighting them is often seen as amateur.

No, I'm not doing performance reviews and weekly 1:1 with each team member. Not because I'm an amateur, but because I'm in the trenches with them every day. Maybe I'll start doing those when we get bigger. But let's get there first.
GPT-3 isn't really all that optimized in terms of size. Later studies have shown that you don't need that many parameters to get the same results, so it should be possible to train a model that could run at least on something like an RTX 4090 Ti with 48GB ram.

The key is that there is a process for reconciliation. It IS NOT ENOUGH to simply have a ledger - you also need a mechanism for enforcing that the ledger matches reality. And reality is complicated, filled with reasonable disputes over terms and deals (in the best case) and outright fraud and theft (in the worst case).

You do realize crypto can be wrapped up in a settlement layer, right?

Cash has the same problems until you introduce a settlement system.
