As @a-user-you-like has pointed out, your interpretation is a common misconception about what 'freedom of religion' means. The framers certainly did not mean that the laws passed by the state and federal governments were to be completely free from moral judgement based on religion or more particularly Christianity. There is no conflict, because neither the states or the federal government are instituting a state church. Instead, you have individual citizens insisting that the laws of their land should be derived from God's law and not judged by some arbitrary and immeasurable standard such as the happiness of prostitutes and their clientele.
Yes, it does feel they shot themselves in the foot.

Their marketing was excellent, but somehow pushed expectations too much and underdelivered. It also felt very elitist. Not very tinkers in a garage that this generation of stable diffusion feels like.
I mean, there's that old saying about "standing on the shoulders of giants" and similar refrains for a reason. All science is cumulative and builds on things that came before. And a lot of times it seems that old ideas "go dormant" for a time, and then come roaring back due to some small tweak or change in available technology, etc. See the entire history of neural networks for example.

So I guess I'd say that if Gary has a legitimate beef, it would just be in regards to acknowledgement / citation / whatever. If Yann really was familiar with Gary's older work, then came around to the same ideas, but refused to acknowledge Gary, that could be seen as somewhat petty and vindictive. That said, I have no idea to what extent that is actually the case. Not trying to take sides here. I respect both guys to a tremendous degree.
imho having docker compose _build_ container images is an anti-pattern.
Always do what the parent says -- build/pull separately (not using compose), then arrange to fix up the tag/version specified in the compose file to match.
Right, and what that slack can mean is if SHTF then they can throw a bunch of people at the problem. Doesn't matter if most of those people are idiots because the point isn't even to solve the problem per se but for responsibility to be evenly distributed.

Social platforms are by definition, advertising companies. Of course they'll show ads, that's what their business model is. Just like if you go to a bar they will show you all of the alcohol you can buy.

I'd say it's not particularly unique. The entire document is quite thorough and prescriptive on each topic regarding maintaining the household and staff. The items listed are right alongside basic deporture.

That said, they did stick out when I read them, but likely because we already know the truth about how that setup was used to nefarious ends.

Where do you save transistors? With the Posit you have to be able to deal with larger mantissa, multiplier size scales with mantissa bits squared, so even a small increase makes quite a mark.

Maybe you save a bit by not having denormals, but then parsing the packed float is a bit more complicated in that the bits do not have a fixed division between exponent and mantissa.

It is possible that the Posit circuit was smaller by leaving out some feature, like exact rounding, which is quite expensive, but then it is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Nice irony :D
Dagger is helping companies scale BuildKit in a self-hosted setup (that I am aware of). Not sure about the Dagger + GHA self-hosted runner story, one would assume it would be a natural extension of their general self-hosted BuildKit, just point Dagger at whatever BuildKit domain/ip you are using.

Dagger is open-source, but also has paid things if you talk to them. They are very focused on a few key users in their paid plans, rather than opening the floodgates, as I understand it.

> 67% were in sales, marketing and customer success, 20% in engineering, product development and customer operations and 13% in general and administrative

Ratios like this are fairly common.

I think the confusion comes from engineers who look at a SaaS and assume it's mostly engineers like themselves. Engineering is a small portion of the headcount.

A lot of customer-related needs scale with the number of customers. Any company with a huge number of customers is going to have a lot of headcount related to dealing with customers.

Well, economics has something called “revealed preferences”. Despite your opinions, most people do prefer media from the juggernauts based on where they spend their money.

I used my reMarkable 2 tablet all throughout university (I only recently graduated). Searchability is an area that e-ink tablets can surely solve, although the reMarkable's software wasn't particularly helpful in this regard (perhaps it has improved now). You can only convert 1 page at a time using their OCR and they only recently added the ability to tag documents.

My favorite feature was actually simple: I don't have to erase everything to rearrange the layout of my notes. Being able to simply select a portion of the page, resize, and move it was killer. Another great feature is simply not having to lug separate notebooks around. The ability to organize and sort documents was very helpful.

> I don't consider them to be credible so I am not missing anything.

Of course you don't, it's just the word of a woman, and as noted elsewhere you're clearly sexist.

The FBI had more than 4500 tips, a multiple corroborating witnesses. They chose not to go anywhere due to it being the 80s and all rapes being the woman's fault.

But I'm going to say: it's a very clearly credible claim if there were supporting witness statements even in the 80s.

> I think we are getting to a point where people throw around allegations and various -ists and phobias too often. Every day somebody is called a racist or homophobe or is accused of being a traitor to the country. I think we need to cool it with decisiveness and stop with this type of language unless there is a reason to use in a specific case.

If a someone's position is that trans and gay people should be de facto treated as criminals or at the very least denied equal protection under law they're clearly transphobic and/or homophobic. If you vote in support of those policies you are stating very clearly that you don't consider LGBT people to be, you know, people. Because the idea that treating them equally is just a "political position" is an explicit statement that they you do not consider them to be people.

If someone supports groups that have explicitly stated white supremacist, antisemitic, sexist, homophobic and/or transphobic "talking points", then they are antisemitic, sexist, homophobic and/or transphobic.

If someone is avoiding overt statements by using dog whistles ("urban youth", "globalist", "anti-family", etc) they are racist, antisemitic, etc.

The only people driving divisiveness are conservatives. They're very clearly, and on the record, and proud of incessant statements attacking the right of large swathes of people just to exist, let alone have any kind of equal rights. They're aggressively pushing laws with the explicit intent of legalizing discrimination.

A super common refrain of bigots is that if people would just be quiet and accept the bigotry, then "eventually" they'll get the equality they want. This has repeatedly been shown to be complete BS - the _only_ thing that causes change is making noise. While the bigots on the Supreme Court have been aggressively dismantling the civil rights act, that only passed after huge protests lasting years, in which many many protestors were beaten (often by police in the white power states), and quite a few were murdered. Rosa Parks sitting in the "white only" section of a bus and refusing to leave was a "crime" according to the white supremacist states. Similarly Mildred&Richard Loving.

Demanding acquiescence is purely a tool of the people enforcing the bigotry.
This is like still asking why any competent organization still installs adobe acrobat reader by default on like every pc, and has to subsequently patch it every 2 weeks when it has exploits found still after ~25 years.

All these companies figured out how to get around the legal issues of this a long time ago. They aren't selling you the movie/song/game/book, they are selling you a license to it. And they can revoke the license whenever they want.
It depends on what you're generating, complex prompts in DALLE ("a witch tossing rapunzels hair into a paper shredder at the bottom of the tower") blow midjourney and stable diffusion out of water.

I think if you look at traditional databases, yes SQL is the API interface that you use to connect to them. SQL is great for adhoc analysis of data and makes perfect sense when you are writing your data warehouse jobs.

But when you are building an application you would not be writing raw SQL queries, instead, you would be using some kind of a mapping layer (ORM) that can help map the constructs you use during application development to SQL queries. Furthermore, if we look beyond simple CRUD operations and look at other data-related functionality that you might need in your application - search, pub/sub data to an event stream, SQL would most likely not be the interface that you choose because it would be cumbersome.

That's the point I am trying to make, that we need to look at the database technologies from an application developer's perspective and provide APIs that work well in their workflow, something that naturally fits within their code. SQL isn't that API.
From my experience there isn't a clear difference in quality between the output produced by Dalle2 and Stable Diffusion. They both suffer from their own unique idiosyncrasies, and the result is that they have differently shaped learning curves.

I do admit that I rate the creativity of Dalle2 higher than that of SD. It can occasionally create really unexpected and exciting compositions, whereas SD will more often lean more conventional.

Sure, but which ones?

The reason we study people from 2,000 years ago is not that no one else is having those same thoughts (or better ones) today. It's because if something survives for 2,000 years, there's a reason for it. Enough cultures over centuries felt that what these people had to say was important enough to be passed down. It's the same reason we don't seriously study philosophers until they are dead. It takes decades to determine if their corpus is even a meaningful contribution to the canon.

It is amusing the usual 'war on drugs' sentiment is completely absent in this thread. Everyone is nimby is one way or the other.
These guys know better than to rev the tachometer up in the lay press talking about AGI and “achieve human level intelligence” and stuff. This fluff, unfortunately, sells and so when you’ve got an ego big enough to be talking this way in the first place I suppose you feel like you have to do it?

Machine learning researchers optimize “performance” on “tasks”, and while those terms are still tricky to quantify or even define in many cases, they’re a damned sight closer to rigorous, which is why people like Hassabis who get shit done actually talk about them in the lay press, when they deal with the press at all.

We can’t agree when an embryo becomes a fetus becomes a human with anything approaching consensus. We can’t agree which animals “feel pain” or are “self aware”. We can sort of agree how many sign language tokens silverbacks can remember and that dolphins exhibit social behavior.

Let’s keep it to “beats professionals at Go” or “scores such on a Q&A benchmark”, or “draws pictures that people care to publish”, something somehow tethered to reality.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: lots of luck with either of the words “artificial” or “intelligent”, give me a break on both in the same clause.
You’re quite mistaken on the first point.

Most automation that you know of as “devops tools” are borne from sysadmins.

Terraform was written by a sysadmin; puppet, ansible, saltstack and cfengine too.

It is revisionist to think sysadmins were not automating their jobs.

Old school sysadmins used to know C, bash and Perl.

New school devops just traded that for a handful of DSLs and Python.

I’m sure some technicians working the IT department managed to get by running scripts created by sysadmins and claiming not to code, but it was definitely the common case that 20 years ago sysadmins could code and worked tirelessly to “automate themselves out of a job” (literally a mantra i was told as a sysadmin 15 years ago)

I can't see this panning over well without the supreme court establishing some sort of discretionary middle ground.

One camp says the platforms are like newspapers, the other says they are like email companies. Imo the platforms are neither.

Content moderation is necessary, moderation of more extreme and malicious viewpoints is necessary, but in recent years a boundary has been crossed with regard to what constitutes "malicious" content (e.g. someone rationally questioning a supposedly widely held viewpoint and being silenced without explanation. The act of censoring someone for making a good faith argument solely because the censor disagrees is in itself malicious)

The companies have shown a lack of discretion in this regard and the current application of the 1st is unsustainable long term

I don't think it's really a controversial opinion though (except among Python fans, of which there are many due to how popular a teaching language it is).

IMO the biggest issue is that they add features with absolutely no regard to how you could implement it with good performance. There are also a ton of features that let you do things that are just a really bad idea. Look at something like __subclasses__. Encourages terrible coding practices! (I learnt about it by reading some terrible code my colleagues wrote.) And good luck JITing that.

There's also a ton of syntax that is weird and asymmetric, like list comprehensions. Also the fact that you don't need to explicitly create variables is very error prone. Some of that is excusable given how old Python is but that doesn't mean it isn't bad.

Oh and import resolution. That's just downright terrible. No excuse there. I'd almost take #include over the insane mishmash of different ways imports work. It's even worse than JavaScript's module disaster.

I agree with this but your numbers are off IMO. Diabetics who use closed loop systems diligently can achieve A1Cs nearer to 5 without becoming dangerously low all the time. It is hard, but new tech is making it easier. Also an A1C of 5.5 is at the very top of the acceptable range before being pre-diabetic (5.7). Lastly, your nervous system becomes accustomed to the blood glucose range that you are frequently in... there are studies about T2Ds with A1Cs of like 9 who get low blood sugar symptoms when their glucose is ~90mg/dl (normal). So A1C of 5.5 in T1D does not automatically imply dangerous hypos all the time, maybe A1C of 4.9 does though.
How do you know a prospective employee is worth hiring without testing?
1. you usually capture the most general exception in a lib and avoid all refactorings derived of can/cannot fail deep in a stack of calls that needs to be propagated all the way up. With status it happens the same as with stackless coro. Once something is like that, you need to propagate it all the way up.

2. an exception cannot be ignored either.

3. you can transform an exception into a value or even code them as values.

4. See nested_exception.
For SAAS companies that do B2B it's important to remember two arms of the company:

1. Sales -> You can hire a lot of sales people if they're generating enough business to cover their own salaries

2. Customer Support -> Big enterprise contracts generally have support written into them. Thus, for every enterprise customer Docusign may need anywhere from 0.1 -> 3 (or more) FTEs. If you price this right it's always worth it to keep growing the org this way.

Docusign has a lot of opportunities to upsell customers on legal services they provide.

You should also consider the scaling cost of internal support. For every 10 FTEs, add a manager. Also add on HR, accounting, janitorial, etc. Easilly 20% of the company might be these sorts of internal support roles.

My take on this is that AI ethics is really important, but just preventing AI from doing certain things like creating celebrity deepfakes is somewhat lazy and ineffective. A better application of AI ethics is developing technology that can reliably detect deepfakes, rather than just putting artificial limits in your product and acting like that is going to stop pandora's box from being opened.

You need to account for inflation. Dollar value in 2001 and 2022 is not the same. CPI today is ~295 vs ~175 in 2001, so while nominally today's monthly payment is higher, it is not higher in terms of its purchasing power.
