(As you pointed out before, elemental liquid Li or Pb would interfere with magnetic containment. LiH is an example of a diamagnetic Li-rich material resistant to radioactivation (other than the desired 3H). We need a great deal of Li in the neutron-absorbing blanket to breed tritium fuel.)

1000 tons of lithium deuteride (half 6Li, half 7Li, all 2H) would cost ~$2B for the deuterium, plus a smallish fraction of that for the 6Li-enriched lithium. Any deuterium that picks up a neutron would become tritium, adding to what is got by fooling with the lithium. Maybe you economize with half-H, half-2H, for only ~$1B.

You have many reasons not to let your LiH catch fire, beyond that it cost you $1-2B and would totally destroy your $50B reactor and be deucedly hard to put out. It burns in air to LiOH, Li3N and H2, and reacts with any water, CO2, or nitrogen you might have hoped would douse it. Li3N further reacts with the hydrogen making lithium amide LiNH2, thence various unpleasant peroxides.

Regular LiH is solid at a more-familiar operating temperature under 400C, and liquid at what might thought an extreme 700C. The deuterides would raise the melting point some. You really want something in there to scavenge any metallic lithium, if molten, because that corrodes steel and silica.
So don’t memoize unless you need to. Most of the time, you don’t. This is a fairly classic case of overeager optimization. The state changes shouldn’t* particularly depend on memoizations anyway though as memoize should be mostly for view stuff (which should* be idempotent) rather than model stuff.

* = subjective and there are a few rare exceptions
I get where you're coming from and I'm in the same boat. I play Minecraft and some of the media I consume are Minecraft SMPs and Let's Plays. My soon-to-be-7-year-old has picked up the game and now regularly plays in my world (not that is issue free, but that's a different article :-) )

I understand why Microsoft is doing it and I even agree in part with Microsoft's measures in some ways. Aside from the direct protection of kids, they're also probably trying to be pre-emptive... forestalling the day or already complying with the day when the government says they have to do this sort of thing.

What I disagree with is that it's all or nothing. Public servers that wish to not participate should be allowed to not to. Sure have the client give a warning that you're logging into the wild west, even have it give a warning every time you log into the same server. But don't force all servers to do it. Microsoft also has parent controls which allow me to determine if my kid can use his account on any public server (by default nope)... finesse that a bit to let me choose only Microsoft moderated public servers. Even maybe give me the ability to whitelist servers for my kid's account. And then let everyone else that doesn't want to comply with Microsoft's vision of civility online to enter those servers that don't comply at their discretion, risk, or peril.

This would achieve the goals that your after (and me too for my kid) while not forcing society down the path of conformity.

> This only contributes to our litigious society where lawyers get rich through shakedowns

Even if the lawyers were to receive 100% of the payouts from these cases, we the public still benefit: the threat of these types of lawsuits prevents other similar abuses.
Honestly I'm not very keen on pinning blame/monetary responsibility on single individuals/companies to 'prevent/deter' unknown future crimes. We shouldn't be signaling with big punishments bigger than the crimes call for. We should carefully consider the crime based on the individual and how much punishment is appropriate for that individual to compensate the victim/deter that single individual/company from continuing that future behavior. Not to stop others.

Why should I get 30 years for a crime that should be 5 years because they want to send a signal. Make it fair and make it equal.

Edit: Apparently this is a unpopular opinion. All I am calling for is that punishment meets the crime. Not meets the crime and exceeds it in order to prevent unrelated parties from committing the same crime. They aren't my responsibility.

You certainly can recreate something very similar in post, although that’s a bit like saying chiaroscuro lighting is achievable in charcoal, oil paint, and photography: the effect is still going to be distinct depending on the medium. Digital has a whole host of unique qualities and even some distinct advantages over film. But the image of film has a different quality to it as compared to digital: it simply looks different than digital projection or home video, even if you had a pristine, flawless film print. The difference in image is subtle, but your brain recognizes it the moment the projector starts: “oh, yeah, this is how movies used to look.” Just as photography hasn’t superseded all other 2d visual arts, I think it would be a mistake to treat film as unnecessary in the age of digital. I can certainly understand why a director and DP would choose to work with digital for the average case project these days though.

If it’s entirely self-hosted servers on the user’s own hardware, then how could Microsoft ban them? What would that even mean? Microsoft’s systems must somehow be involved for a ban to have any meaning.

> You mean you are going to prefer anecdotal evidence over scientific research?

scientific research of this particular type has proved to be unreliable enough that it should be taken with a grain of salt. Fwiw my anecdote was probably caused by weed not LSD, my friend was taking frequent doses of a "legal" research LSD precursor he found in europe and didn't have problems until later when he stopped and smoked weed more. Idk if the LSD precursor accelerated his problems or not and I don't care to speculate.

> Your "own observations of reality" are interesting to you, but do not form a basis for creating public policy

I did not imply that psychedelics should be illegal, if it were up to me I'd legalize all drugs.

My issue is with people calling these chemicals "harmless", that very stance I believe is harmful. Any drug should be treated with respect. Weed is not harmless and the right edible or strong enough joint will fuck you up for days. People abuse MDMA regularly and come down with serotonin syndrome or fuck up their brain by not waiting 3 months or more. Ketamine is often abused too and that's not a fun ride either.

I've heard that SV types take LSD micro doses and I've tried it, I got a more cheerful day out of it but the next day I didn't have any motivation to do anything and didn't get much pleasure out of the whole day. So your mileage may vary, be careful when doing this stuff, do proper research and make sure you have enough free time with no responsibilities in the near future when doing them because you can't predict your specific reaction.

> Are other alternatives not viable? For example SubscribeStar [1]? It's probably better to have multiple sources of income, rather than a single payment processor?

There isn't one single sufficiently reliable and reputable subscription payments provider outside of Patreon. I researched various providers for a certain project. From Chargebee to Recurly to Paddle, all the providers either have obnoxious revenue or other requirements for using their platform, questionable reputation and feedback from users, or they are too small. On top of that integrating them to your website or software requires jumping through hoops for most cases.

Patreon looks great compared to all those. Its larger than the majority of them, it has zero requirements to get on board, and it can process payments from even payment providers from the developing world. It feels a bit odd to use it for selling software, but many software developers seem to be doing it already.

Most important is that such services like Patreon take the sales tax processing off of your hands. From California sales tax to VAT. That's a major, major pain in the ass for any business.
They also used massive doses of LSD combined with electroshocks and managed to entirely wipe some patients’ memories, this person describing their experience is pretty mind-blowing:

Hey, I illustrated all 31,102 verses of the Bible with Stable Diffusion. I wrote a blog post about it on the site, but it's aimed at a non-technical audience. So I can go over the technical stuff here.

So, I started this almost as soon as Stable Diffusion was released to the public, on a single 3090ti. With revisions, it took about 42 hours of compute time, which was about $5 worth of electrity where I live. $5 for 31,102 pictures seems like a good deal to me!
Doing the math, if I had done this project with DallE-2 it would have been at least $4000, so even if you factor in the price of the GPU, cpu, monitor, and keyboard, I would still come out ahead.

I really did not like the NSFW filter that Stable Diffusion ships with, too many false-positives, so I reviewed each and every picture by hand. I built a quick c++ program with SDL and dearImgui, to toggle through each picture with really fast keyboard shortcuts. Despite all that, I developed some repetitive stress pains from doing all that, and that's never fun.

The site is a static site hosted on Cloudflare pages and Cloudflare R2, which I have never used before (I'm usually an AWS guy). They attracted me with their "no egress fees" slogan, (which are usually an annoyingly large chunk of change), so I thought I'd give it a shot. The dev experience was pretty easy to be honest. But if things go south later, I'll write a nasty blog post about it or something.

A lot of the javascript was written by Github Copilot, and even some of the blog post (all the jokes were by me)!

Ethically, I think this project is in the clear because I only take "inspiration" from Renaissance art, which has been in the public domain for a long long time.
Mormonism is in a transitionary phase between Scientology and more established religions. It is taken seriously but still has a aura of non-seriousness about it. Scientology will probably reach that stage once it matures, but it will take a few generations still.

Except some people don't read the article and already assume numpy is "very" optimized that they might gloss over that line without reading much into it. That line also doesn't say that you might get a 10x speed-up while using numba. I remember when I first came across numba I searched HN for references and didn't find many stories or comments praising it so I skipped over it initially so having HN comments might be useful for future HN'ers.
> We should carefully consider the crime based on the individual and how much punishment is appropriate for that individual to compensate the victim/deter that single individual/company from continuing that future behavior. Not to stop others.

I'd think that having your standard practice be to make sure it wasn't worth it would find the same amount as the threshhold for both deterring the current perpetrator and deterring others.

But that's a good thing, not a bad one -- it shows you you've made a mistake! Might even be you wouldn't have caught that mistake at all otherwise. How could it not be better to catch a mistake right as you made it and are still in the maintenance window to fix it, than to have it lingering undetected, getting ever more corrupt data, until it rears its head possibly years later, when some vital report shows your DB is full of garbage?

I support your decision to ban it in your household under that circumstance. If Microsoft gets to carpet-ban us and our kids from the game, we can carpet-ban them from us and our kids. Take your responsibility as a parent seriously, spend time and engage and take care of your kids, don't depend on big centralized computer systems to keep your children safe. Teach them why it's important, and they'll grow up to value individual freedoms.
It is part of the human condition to feel positive emotions for a well-known person even if their role throughout history is based on an antiquated belief such as the divine right of kings.

I pointed the Andino lawsuit out as context on why this isn't a "me spewing crazy shit out of my mouth" type of thing.

Also, what "wider US society" are you talking about? Most people who use software don't ever read any terms or EULAs, let alone know the implications. And the shenanigans that they bring to the table would be laughed out of the room in any physical setting (in fact they already have been laughed out of the courtroom, see the first sale doctrine)

"Here's a machine. You're responsible for keeping it. You must use it with your own electricity and resources. But you don't own it, it's more like a lease. Oh but we advertise it as a purchase and call it that in every public display we make of it, except in our hundred-page legal terms document, which (we know) nobody reads."

Yeah, definitely not unconscionable.
This is pretty big news when you look at the numbers floating around time to train AIs like Stable Diffusion - which is by far the most disruptive change that's happened recently. 150,000 hours just went down to 100,000 hours if we take the conservative estimate.

Not fast enough (not at the price point) but getting there: of course since it's an entirely parallel problem, the real metric is cost-per-model since in reality you'd just buy time from the cloud.

I figure we're going to start seeing some big changes once cost-per-model puts it within reach of the hobbyist. If I today could buy a custom model for say, $1000 - that's accessible to the hobbyist experimentalist.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
ASICs/Google TPU like things for AI inference/training will be easy to replicate and will have 95% of the power of existing solutions or maybe even improvements. Because they are simple in design.

As far as dedicated GPUs. There is so much additional work in the software side/driver side of thing unless there was a big concerted effort by a single company to build a solid foundation I see it as unlikely. Look at Intel struggling to get their GPUs out there.

Dedicated accelerated cards just for ML though? I believe some already exist/more will come.
That's an useful information, Thanks for sharing.

Quantization noise can be dithered below the threshold of perceptibility.
Yes - but that doesn't work on Realms and requires the server to trust a 3rd party for the bans list and only works if you use Bukkit. Those problems are solved by Microsoft running the program. But it needs to be optional - ideally opt in. Since Realms is mostly for kids I think it makes sense for this feature to be opt out, or even always on, in Realms.
There's a clear difference between deterring a individual and putting a amount so high it will get taglines so people will pay attention and think that could happen to them as well if they were to commit a similar crime and get caught. It's all about intentions.

And I don't want my government prosecuting people and giving them high sentences just to deter other people. It's barbaric behavior.

Like cutting the hand off a thief so others know what will happen if they get caught stealing.
Computer chip design is one of those fields that takes decades of work to build up the expertise and breakthroughs required to deliver cutting edge performance. Just look at how long it took amd to catch up to nvidia and that’s coming from an established company. It’s one of the few fields where you can’t just copy your way to the state of the art. China is of course working on their own home grown solution but it’s nowhere near the level of the US-designed silicon

I enjoy caffeine, and swapped in chocamine to my late afternoon and evening energy boost. Tastes delicious and feels like a treat to have a small hot chocolate drink. It's not on the same magnitude as caffeine but is still an excellent way to get a second wind without the negative effects that come with caffeine. The active ingredient is the theobromine and I liken it to a cocoa version of matcha, a little goes a long way.
This is going to make San Francisco even more sketchy and dangerous.
True, but if you're a large institution making a public statement (this could be interpreted broadly) against a small business, you better be sure it's true. It's especially not worth it when the shoplifter was trying to use a fake ID.

I think that's part of the myth of Ramanujan, that he could just see these things and pull them seemingly out of thin air, and in fact Ramanujan himself has said that math comes to him in visions from a Hindu goddess, but a closer inspection demystifies a lot of this.

What's true is that Ramanujan spent an absolute significant amount of time working on math problems of all kinds, and the vast majority of his work was simply incorrect. In fact one thing Hardy appreciated and found most extraordinary about Ramanujan was not what Ramanujan managed to get right, but the ways in which he managed to get things wrong since that kind of revealed some unique insight into how Ramanujan went about solving problems.

Of course that is never what is showcased about him, instead we get infamous stories such as how Ramanujan seemingly figured out in a matter of seconds that the number 1729 is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. What the story leaves out is that Ramanujan did not just figure this out on the fly but had been working on trying to prove Fermat's Last Theorem for years and as part of that work he had come across the number 1729 since it's related to elliptic curves (the basis of which would eventually lead to a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem).

At any rate, none of this is intended to diminish Ramanujan in any way, on the contrary my hope is to celebrate the very hard work and dedication that Ramanujan put towards mathematics. He is not someone who just divined correct solutions to complex math problems out of thin air but instead he spent countless hours for decades on end devoted to his passion and persevered through much trial and error. The only things we see of his work are the things he got right, and to that end it may seem like his accomplishments are magic; the truth is that they were anything but.
Thank you for giving this perspective. I admit my aversion towards monarchy has inclined me to ignore news of the royal family. I also perceive a correlation between tabloid coverage and triviality. I admit neither of these are good reasons to discount the Queen's impact on people, much of which was in spite of a general preference for democratic rule.
