My understanding is that there are countries bordering Russia (Georgia, Azerbaijan for ex) that have fairly open immigration processes for Russian ex-pats, and very extensive Russian language communities.

And the reach of Russian authorities is unlikely to extend into Georgia at least.

People get this backwards all the time. The fed did not cause cheap money, an aging population, sovereign wealth funds, and increasing inequality caused cheap money. The fed just responds by setting the interest rate to appropriately set the interest rate so we have full employment.
I'm not sure dependency implies a bubble, rather a risk. For companies like Amazon(AWS), there certainly is an element of being too big to fail because AWS and similar cloud operations provide so much of the infrastructure for other applications.

The bubble can clearly be seen by the disassociation of valuations from the underlying value, which for many new companies is nothing.
Any recommendations for particular services?

>There's a huge distance between what they are currently doing and full mobilization. It's likely they'll start mobilizing younger reservists.

The context of the article is that partial mobilization has been ordered. All reservists and all veterans have now been conscripted.

The distance between what is currently happening and full mobilization is quite small in fact.
If this isn't true for your area, the general advice is to wait a few years. Your mortgage payments are locked in, rent increases year-over-year at single- or double-digit percents.
>Did Putin himself do all of this?

I mean, the whole reason they're there is because of him.

>No, it was a significant part of the Russian people that did.

Not really:

>Prewar intelligence analyses said Russia had deployed around a total of 170,000 troops to the regions near Ukraine’s borders in the run-up to the invasion.[1]

>The current population of the Russian Federation is 146,072,977 as of Wednesday, September 21, 2022, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.[2]

Less than 1% of Russian citizens were at Ukraine's border in February. Now we're hearing of a need for an additional 300,000 for a total of 470,000, or still less than 1% of Russian citizens. I find it incredibly difficult to call that a "significant part of the Russian people".

>An even larger portion of the Russian people supported these crimes.

Again, it is illegal to speak out against this invasion, and the nation has been under incredibly increasing levels of oppression for decades. While I don't doubt that a portion of Russian citizens supports it, I can't take those polls at face value.

>>I don't believe significantly more people would be receptive to "defund the police" if it has been phrased a little differently.

FWIW, anecdata, per my other comment [1]: I and large majority of my friends & family (Canadian lower-case-liberals by and large) all fall into that category. It took us a LOOOOONG time (I mean weeks and months) to give the platform and movement enough benefit of doubt to investigate underlying proposals (and then largely agree with them), after having immediate and strong negative reaction to "defund the police".

And most people will not give it benefit of doubt. I literally to this day have conversations with acquaintances of the sort: "No, they're not actually advocating anarchy and everybody fend for themselves! No, I'm serious! Yes, I know that's what the term implies. Hear me out, this is what I think they're saying..."

It's a horrible horrible term that does horrible horrible disservice to the intent.

At large scale, the queries you can handle are limited by the indexes you have in place, and you can’t index everything. So you already have to think about which queries you’ll really need.

There’s also caching, which is another side of the same coin as indexing. You may want to cache certain common/expensive queries. You’ll probably need to think about the granularity of what gets cached, and how to invalidate it. Hard problems for a dynamic, “query anything” API.

Also you probably need to control which data can be retrieved. KronisLV covered that.
Russian actually had a problem with too much hardware and not enough people (let's overlook for a moment that most of that hardware is soviet-era, badly maintained, incomplete and low quality).

Why do you think so much hardware was captured by Ukrainians? Because there just wasn't enough people to drive it all back when they retreated.

Russian tactics suffers because they are sending tanks without infantry. The tanks are meant to support troops to achieve results, not be standalone solution.

Now, the reason I think the mobilisation will not help is actually different. I think somebody summed it up pretty well: "$50M piece of artillery driven by an 18yo". There is already not enough experienced soldiers and now they will be diluted with even more that have no idea what they are doing.

It will also put a clock on whatever Putin is trying to do. Now that this is done, he will absolutely have to show results or public opinion will start deteriorating very quickly.

Inflation was high for quite a number of years before volker, they kept raising rates but then backed off from the economic pain and never succeeded in killing it completely. Volker came in and raised rates to the point where inflation was done.

The point being, they can try to kill it first time, or maybe they have to raise even higher later on which would be even worse for the problem you're talking about.

Also, they're on record as being fully aware of this.
Judging by the financials, the underlying business for both is strong, especially relative to many other kinds of businesses. The drop, still, does not look fatal when considering how much growth there was in 2020 and 2021.
> They were fighting for a side you liked?

No, if we're talking about Germans attacking during a world war, it was an existential threat to Russia. The same cannot be said of Ukraine.
Plus it was largely Europeans kidnapping other Europeans for voyages to the East. The people of Shanghai were not involved.
There is hardly a place like that. My fellow Russians that bully Ukrainians abroad are helping paint a particular image.
It is probably because many disagree with you.. most countries want to be in NATO more than ever to group up against the Russian threat… highly doubt one would leave..on balance more will try to join than leave.

Russia is weakened and has lost support from previously neutral countries.

The US doesn’t need to fight Russia and China. Straw man argument… since that scenario is highly unlikely. In any case, it’s US & NATO allies versus who ever… the Chinese want to make money and become economically dominant…which doesn’t align well with war when you want to trade…

Your view is so upside down…I almost believe you are a Russian troll

The Fed creates money, which nothing else can do. Of course the money supply has its own ebb and flow from private banks and such offering loans, but it's hard to ignore M2 doubling every 10 years.
If this is true, I hope it is only posturing for international audiences, and not that they will be calling up more people to fight.

I hope Russian leadership is already seeking an exit in which they can restore productive international relations, not intending to go out in a blaze of personal infamy.

And I hope everyone else outside of there wants to see relations restored, not to cripple them, at tremendous human cost.
The EU is an alliance of shared interests and some very basic shared ideals. We are allies, not soulmates or lovers.

In line with the other comments, which I find extremely good. Just follow the KISS principle: first experience, then education, last languages (with skill level). Awards, Projects and further comments, at the end, if there is place for that in one page. Maybe if they are asking for somebody with BLAS experience you can add that specific point, but if not, maybe better do not even mention it. Mind you: you are searching for a junior position, nobody expects a 10 pages resume for that. One must be more than enough, please do not clutter one page with smaller font or something like that... what we say is, keeping all the same, reduce to one page.

Eventually after your name, you can make a little statement of your motivation, like a personal "mission and vision" but be careful, that can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I wouldn't do that for a junior position.

In your cover letter, keep it also short and simple: make emphasis in your motivation to work there and what you can offer.

The github profile does not add much, tbh.

Last but not least, but that is a very personal preference: I do not like the title "Resume" it is pretty obvious what it is, I prefer the format where your name is there.

>equally true of human transcription, in which individual words are often [UNINTELLIGEBLE].

ML systems somewhat notoriously do not necessarily make the same sorts of errors that a human would. And I'd expect a large portion of the errors to be transcribing the wrong words rather that indicating that a word couldn't be transcribed. That sort of error means that you can't really get away with manually reviewing just 3% of the audio.
Note that many people on this and other forums have been talking about how the fed just prints money forever and is out of control. This is them destroying money.

It might not be enough for you personally, but let’s not pretend that money printing only goes in one direction.

Note: as a base expectation, you want to be printing a small amount of money unless circumstances dictate otherwise. In a growing economy, if the growth in the money supply doesn’t keep up with growth, you’ll eventually see deflation. This is explained by the following identity (where the velocity of money is typically observed to be fairly constant):

[Price] * [output] = [velocity of money] * [money supply]

The words are powerful and iconic. From the linked page:

"Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Lutheran pastor in Germany. In the 1920s and early 1930s, he sympathized with many Nazi ideas and supported radically right-wing political movements. But after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, Niemöller became an outspoken critic of Hitler’s interference in the Protestant Church. He spent the last eight years of Nazi rule, from 1937 to 1945, in Nazi prisons and concentration camps."
Isn't this all talking to S3 anyway, not to mention the network trips intrinsic to the system before it gets to S3? I mean, I'm sure there's some performance win here, but I'm surprised it's so significant.

It's not like the address-space separation is without benefits... heck, if it weren't, you could simply have embedded the whole application inside Postgres and achieved the same effect.
The other one I’ve seen seems to be semi-regularly getting rid of like 50 people at a time - like essentially just keeping any big layoffs below the reporting level. I’d assume/hope that whatever regulations are involved count layoffs over a period rather than just how many in a given event - but it would not surprise me if it didn’t.

Someone else in this thread[0] said Whisper was running at 17x real time for them. So, even a weak machine might be able to do an acceptable approximation of real time with Whisper.

Also, I feel like shipping to the cloud and back has been shown to be just as fast as on device transcription in a lot of scenarios. Doing it on device is primarily a benefit for privacy and offline, not necessarily latency. (Although, increasingly powerful smartphone hardware is starting to give the latency edge to local processing.)

Siri's dictation has had such terrible accuracy for me (an American English speaker without a particularly strong regional accent) and everyone else I know for so many years that it is just a joke in my family. Google and Microsoft have much higher accuracy in their models. The bar is so low for Siri that I automatically wonder how much Whisper is beating Siri in accuracy... because I assume it has to be better than that.

I really wish there was an easy demo for Whisper that I could try out.

I think they didn't use WSJ for training, only for evaluation. Paper includes WSJ under "Evaluation datasets"
It's not that the watermark is on them per se, but that the model tried to emulate an image it had seen before which had a watermark on it. Imagine showing a child a bunch of pictures with Getty watermarks on them, then they draw their own, with their own emulation of the watermark. They don't know it's a watermark, they don't know what a watermark is, they just see this shape on a lot of pictures and put it on their own. That's essentially what's going on.

The model is only around 4GB, and it was trained on ~5B images. At 24 bit depth, that'd be 786k raw data per image, which would be 3.5 petabytes of uncompressed information in the full training set. Either the authors have invented the world's greatest compression algorithm, or the original image data isn't actually in the model.

So, I think the argument is: if you look at someone else's (copyrighted) work, and produce your own work incorporating style, composition, etc elements which you learned from their work, are you engaged in copyright infringement? IANAL but I think the answer is "no" - you would have to try to reproduce the actual work to be engaging in copyright infringement, and not only do these models not do that, it would be extremely hard to get them to do so without feeding them the actual copyrighted work as an input to the inference procedure.
That is an exciting possibility. Being able to fix bad setups and missed takes automagically. It’s always been possible, just expensive and time consuming for moderate improvements.
Rent has skyrocketed recently, largely because people are afraid to buy houses right now, thus more demand for rental units. A mortgage may still be cheaper if you can stomach the reality that you might quickly end up underwater.

That said, if you have rent control locked in, the choice is likely easy.

Russia in WW I and WW II were before the demographic transition from high fertility, high mortality to low fertility, low mortality, so the Czar or the Party could throw away the lives of millions of farmers' sons. Russia today is after the demographic transition, so there is a shortage of young people and a surplus of elders. Their fertility rate is well under replacement.
Perhaps if Russia society didn't just descend in apathy this whole mess could have been avoided.

To be fair, wasn't this preceded by 'quantitative easing' which itself had 'no historical precedents?'

Like, it's in proportion to the last big thing we did, albeit in the other direction. I'd argue that's pretty close to precedent.

The argument is that easy "free money" causes money to flow into equities, and that money goes in search of better returns which includes venture funding.

The moment the economy tightens up, suddenly the venture funds have less money.

I'm not sure what's causal in it all, but from the outside it certainly looks like that's what happens.

Why do people keep throwing out John Meersheimer like we've never heard of him before. We're 6 months into this thing and we've read him by now. We just think he's wrong. Is he still asking for a return to the Minsk accords like that's even plausible at this point? Meersheimer hasn't really added much new thought since the war started. Mostly it's just, "we could have avoided this by giving Putin what he wanted", which is an un-provable assertion.

The war happened. It's here. Now let's deal with it. Putin trying to kill my friends in Ukraine is pretty black and white to me.
