> By the way, wasn't there a "ML for the Working Programmer" aeons ago?

There was. It was written by the author of this very submission and you can download it free from his site (follow the link trail from author's name at the bottom of the article). Great book, a real favourite, though I'm not sure it totally captures the anxiety-driven copy-paste frenzy of the true working programmer.

There is one SML compiler that has an extremely cute logo - SML# (https://smlsharp.github.io/en/)

Maybe you would feel differently if it was your PII that made it into the hands of the CCP. Unfortunately this has already happened to me.

The CCP now has all of my employment history, education history, banking information, and all contact info for my friends and family.

I'm in two minds about this. Look at the abusive, popular services that demand government-issued ID when signing up or "because of suspicious activity". Once that data is breached, which is only a matter of time, how useful are such IDs as proof of ownership?

In theory (and in practice for those who care) recording recovery data is simple and quick but for the same reasons passwords are failing us, seem to rarely be recorded.
For Javascript, Chrome's devtool console has always worked for me. You can even debug with the `debugger` keyword.
Read it. The alleged crime was related to PII of election workers. Not voters. The assertion is that nothing in their investigation indicated trouble with votes which isn't the same as guaranteeing nothing happened.
That's a weird sentiment. If you can concede that it could be "intrinsically" good, then why do you care where it came from?

It reminds me of part of the book trilogy Three Body Problem, where these aliens create human culture better than humans (in the humans' own perspective, in the book) by decoding and analyzing our radio waves to then make content. It feels to me much the same here where an unknown entity creates media, and we might like it regardless of who actually made it.
> Energy comes out of the ground.

Nearly all of the energy available on Earth comes from our sun, including all fossil fuels, shallow geothermal, biomass, hydro, tidal, wave, wind and solar energies. The remainder came from other suns, such as nuclear and deep geothermal.

I would guess that's unknowable. The old proximate vs distal cause problem is hard enough for simple cases, let alone something like the interactions between thousands of ecosystems, 7 billion chunks of primate psychology, and global civilisation. I am sure that capitalism is incompatible with the continuing existence of healthy living ecosystems. So (for me) your question comes down to: is capitalism inevitable (& even if it wasn't, are we now stuck with it for historical reasons?).

We can look at some things that seem salient. When you look at human societies over time and space, the vast differences in cultures are astonishing. Most people have little idea of just how different cultures have been, so their concept of 'human nature' actually just labels their own culture (I'm not suggesting that's how you're using 'human nature'). Even the subset of contemporary 'capitalist' nations are greatly variable, not the least in their levels of ecosystem destruction.

Then capitalism itself, variation notwithstanding, does depend on the metaphor of growth (I insist on 'metaphor' because nothing defensibly 'grows' in the process of deconstructing complex evolved circular systems to build simple technological ones requiring ongoing inputs). Some think this can be fixed by building 'circular economies', but I've seen nothing to suggest that this is possible at all, let alone on a relevant timescale.

We know for certain that the 'growth' metaphor/ideology doesn't spring cleanly/directly from human nature, as there's no shortage of human societies that have lived in a relatively steady relationship with their environment (here in Australia for 60,000 years or more).

So who knows? Perhaps H. Sapiens can get free of the system it has made, perhaps not. If it can, it's not going to be in a hurry, so we'd need to slow down the rate of destruction while still capitalists. I do think that's possible with appropriate application of tech, "electrify everything", tough corporate regulation, land set-asides, urban greening, etc. But because of compounding, even slow dismantling of ecosystems eventually destroys them. So H Sapiens still needs to ditch capitalism at some point.

There's certainly no guarantee that it can, because evolution, in making the species, wasn't looking to the future (and certainly not to a destiny).
I'm pretty sure there's no difference. It does seem to be pretty hard to turn the theoretical win into a practical one - the GPU kernel needs to be coded extremely efficiently to match the underlying hardware. AFAIK it's only a win for 3x3 - maybe for one other size too. Originally Winograd wasn't supported by cuDNN on NVidia's Tensor Cores (matmul-specific hardware on more recentish GPUs), vs CUDA cores, but a Google search seems to indicate it can be done - not sure if that's in cuDNN though.
Employees are my biggest expense by a wide margin. I could drop half my staff and increase my net overnight. I'm not going to double my customers nearly that fast so I'll be burning through payroll in the meantime... especially considering customer acquisition is going to get harder than employee acquisition over the next year.
Presumably if they are illegitimate, they will lose most of their customers if they do comply, or they lose network access by not acting. Sounds like this will put the illegitimate ones out of business.

Only if they use the data people seem to be assuming without evidence that they are using.

That a single corporate entity is capable of collecting data does not necessarily mean that said entity is collecting and using that data. Maybe they do! But so far I've seen no evidence of it anywhere from anyone ever.
Renewables absolutely can and are "getting us there." It's a solved problem.

I hope that's true. So does that mean there's no need for the sweeping societal changes that prominent environmentalists are demanding because we'll be able to maintain our high-energy lifestyles with nearly 100% renewables?
No, I don't have a secondary email on this account.

>informing me on whether we're heading into a recession or not

look at consumer debt levels and how several major banks in Europe are ready to blow up, not a sign of a healthy economy. Unemployment rates are a lagging indicator for recessions, companies don't start laying people off until revenue takes a hit. The Fed has outright said they are going to keep raising rates until people start losing jobs so inflation declines.

Maybe setup tells you to do that now, but this is an old account and it probably didn't say anything like that when I set it up many years ago.

No recovery codes were ever generated for this account.

I don't think it's reasonable to lock out a user who has the correct password and access to the primary email on the account.

I understand there are situations in which both of those could be compromised but locking out all users with no human customer support, review, or recourse is unacceptable in my opinion.

I'm curious about this - what's informing your belief that ADHD is treated only with medication?

When talking to people diagnosed with ADHD, the diagnosis was accompanied by a mix of behavioral therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and external support from teachers/friends/family.

Drug-seeking behavior is something else altogether, which I agree is a net-negative on both society AND people with ADHD. Regulations around ADHD medication make the medication ironically very difficult to obtain for anyone with an executive function disorder. People without an executive function disorder have no problem jumping through the extra regulatory hoops.

Lump of labor fallacy. Automation is not a zero sum game because it creates new jobs.
Imagine you’re watching a show, it’s really funny and you’re enjoying it. You’re streaming it, but you’d probably have paid a few dollars to rent it back in the Blockbuster days. You’re then told that the show was produced by an AI. Do you suddenly lose interest because you don’t want to watch something produced by an AI? Or is your hypothesis that an AI could never produce a show that you liked to that degree?

If you mean the former, then I frankly think you’re an outlier and lots of people would have no problem with that. If you mean the latter, then I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. We’re certainly not there yet, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. I’ve definitely read stories that were produced by an AI and preferred it to a lot of fiction that was written by humans!
In my own case I'm just trying to get people to let go of the idea that nuclear (fission or fusion) is viable for electricity generation.

Please read the paper by Way, Ives, Mealy and Farmer[1], look at the trends, and draw your own conclusions.

“ One caveat for people who like working from home: Remote workers may find it in their best interest to show their faces in the office as their job security becomes more uncertain.”

"Star machines", "This form of energy ... will be abundant, efficient, carbon-free, safe", and "solve all of humanity’s energy problems in one fell swoop – amongst many other things. "

Humbug.

Even if/when it is possible to build a power plant (many decades IMHO) it will be massively costly, the waste from D-T fusion is far more of an issue than is being discussed, the efficiency will be terrible, barely enough to make the thing workable, etc.

"Tritium… can be made from another element that is extremely plentiful: lithium."

So we're going to burn all the lithium, instead of building batteries with it?
The basic building blocks of ML are simle MAC operations, weights and offsets are applied to inputs to produce outputs. These building blocks are combined to form a neural network. To understand that, or to train or apply a model, you do not need calculus.

> History will remember them as villains.

Interesting analogy. Google, like the priests, is acting out of mix of good intentions (protecting the public from perceived dangers) and self-interest (maintaining secular power, vs. a competitive advantage in the AI space). In the case of the priests, time has shown that their good intentions were misguided. I have a pretty hard time believing that history will be as unkind towards those who tried to protect minorities from biased tech, though of course that's impossible to judge in the moment.
I think optimizations that you focus on for self-hosted ClickHouse are the same as for Cloud. In self-hosted it helps to improve your throughput/capacity with fixed allocated resources. In cloud it directly affects cost.

For those complex pipelines you may find more useful to run tests during trial. Data distribution, partitioning and so on can change actual cost significantly so estimates can be too pessimistic or optimistic
AI for long time will be just another tool to improve your production. It will probably reduce the more repetitive boring part of the work. Quickly generating content will let you try out a lot of ideas faster and seeing the different results will inspire you more. Some of the simpler work will probably go away but most likely it will be replaced by other work that currently is considered more complex but becomes easier and cheaper with AI so more customer can afford it.

AI+human will produce better results than just AI for a long time but you have to learn how to use it.

One of the interesting possibility will be to train your own AI on your private creative work/dataset so others could not have it if they don't have access to your private dataset, and it would produce your style better than some general AI. There will be services that will do it for you as for example Emad from StabilityAI already mentioned they will provide something like that.

But yeah, if AI keeps improving the end game is a little scary.
It's pretty obvious when you look at who is quoted in these articles that someone is paying for at least one PR push related to this. PG wrote about how this works in one of his older essays, in fact: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
The unfunded part is the study. The actual mission would need to be bid out. Other companies could do their own study and make a bid. But I'm sure Jared Isaacman is eager to get the deal and will absorb some of the cost.

If you are talking about Celerons in my comment then it was SATA drives.

But Celerons are shit anyway, couple of weeks ago I replaced a HDD with SSD on Acer Aspire ES1-533 with Celeron N3350 [1], with a fresh Win10 install. It was slow with the original WD Blue, with SSD it just started to slow faster. Still seconds to open menus and overall a very poor performance, despite the whopping 2Mb cache. I have ThinkPad x301 lying somewhere, with a SU9400 Core 2 Duo and 1.8" SSD. Last time I used it (with Win10, too) it performed better than that Acer with Celeron. X301 is from 2008, ES1-533 is from 2016.

Intel learned from Mendocino/Coppermine 'fiasco' and since that Celerons never performed well. Obligatory bash.org quote [1]

The point of the Webb telescope isn’t to take pictures! It’s to collect data. It can “see” way further into the early universe by examining infrared light, which Hubble cannot do.
I do, and I really value the time I spend at a cafe near my house. I go to the same cafe (and typically sit in the same spot) every workday for between 1 and 4 hours.

It lets me have a bunch of loose acquaintances, both staff and other regulars. I also like seeing people on lunch dates and kids with the day off school and what books people are reading. A bonus is that everyone there is working on different stuff --- artists and video editors and music promoters are all there at various points, doing various things.

I used to have a membership at a coworking space, but I like this better, and in the end it costs about the same.

Sounds like this experiment would be better run in about any other city, and the project leaders likely chose the location because of cheap land.

My understanding: what’s great about Webb is that it can take pictures in the infrared.

It has to be really cold to do this, hence the big complicated heat shield.

Infrared let’s us see things that are further away, because when something’s really far away it gets red-shifted down out of the visible spectrum into the infrared (due to expansion of the universe).

So it’s not really any better at imaging things that are close / in the visible spectrum like Jupiter.

I just assumed the general public isn't the main user of Webb. I figured infrared is more interesting to scientists than me. Why else would they have chosen that?

Maybe they'll figure out a way to translate the colours better for consumption.

Anecdote: I find my Rust code doesn't resemble the syntax examples in the article. Why am I using Rust? Because it's fast, is good at interacting with hardware, and is suitable for certain domains where there aren't many alternatives (and it happens to have key advantages over the alternatives). Ie: Embedded, and computer graphics.

In the former, there's (by default, and often good reason to maintain this) no allocator, so the allocator-based-collections used as the backbone of the article don't apply. In the latter, there's still a lot of manipulating byte arrays etc, as that's the interface between CPU and GPU.

Related to both domains: The article is about data structure manipulation, but in general, when I choose Rust, it's to interact with hardware. That's the magic; that's where the language transcends syntax differences. Ie various MCU peripherals, communication lines and buses, passing data to a GPU etc. I think that would be an interesting comparison to highlight.

I'm not disparaging the text, but pointing out that its general title hides its narrow scope.

Technically not, since "DTMF" is a proper noun referring to the overall encoding system, and is used as a adjective indicating that this particular tone is associated with that system. Compare "That farm raises KFC chickens. (That is, chickens intended for use by the resturant (chain) that calls itself "Kentucky Fried Chicken".)". Or "The left is what a MacOS window looks like, and the right is what a Windows window looks like.".

That's a fallacy in thinking (sunk costs fallacy). If there's strategic risk in single-sourcing you need to diversify.
If that was a concern, surely the only reasonable thing to do would be to move to a popular vote as soon as possible. As things stand, an entity that could reliably hack 2 or 3 states would have a better than even chance of controlling the election outcome.
Doesn't really matter, as we can also build batteries with sodium, calcium, aluminum, iron, zinc, and with carbon polymers. And probably more.
