I don't think there's anything remarkable about this website that could be considered a "big win" for Lisp. It's a totally run-of-the-mill dynamic web app that could have been developed more quickly in any web framework such as Rails or Django.

In fact, the hacky way it was implemented in Lisp had some clear downsides. In the early days (I'm probably going to mess up the details but hopefully the gist will come through) there was a notorious failure mode due to the way entities such as stories and comments were stored in memory using closures. These closures obviously had to be cleaned out periodically, and so if you stayed on a page too long and then clicked a link on the page, it would be invalid. You'd have to go back and refresh the page and click the link again. I don't think it's out of bounds to say this website is basically a rehash of the hacks pg came up with in the mid 90s to implement web apps in Lisp for Viaweb. The fact that he got rich off those hacks may have been a selling point for Lisp 20 years ago when he wrote Beating the Averages, but the world has moved on.
I haven’t heard of anyone on this forum or any other personally exposed to FTX. And yet everyone in crypto seemed to have money in LUNA. Seems weird, as though retail wasn’t heavily exposed.
For the most blatant violation, look at point 6 of the OSD and attachment A of the license.
Just calling something a "religious argument" as a way to dismiss it is pretty silly.

And there's lots of actual, real scientists who think AI risk is a real thing we should be concerned with. Both within the field (e.g. Stuart Russel) and outside of the field (e.g. Stephen Hawking.) Are all of these scientists also talking with zero basis in actual science?

It is more important if you have enough electrical power available.

Building or buying a 3-phase inverter or a power supply unit that could replace the original power supply are much easier tasks than building the logic boards of PDP-11/70, which you have.

If the power requirements exceed what is available at your location, you could still make the PDP-11/70 work for very short times, by using a large enough UPS with a 3-phase inverter or with a substitute power supply, and charging the UPS, then starting the PDP-11/70 with the UPS disconnected from mains.

The power requirements can be reduced a lot in comparison with a real PDP-11/70 if only the processor boards are used and the memory boards are replaced by a modern FPGA board implementing the protocol of the DEC memory bus.

The maximum size of the PDP-11 memory (4 MB) is small enough that it can be implemented with the internal SRAM of many FPGA chips, no external DRAM memory is needed.
If you use `dvc exp run` you don't need to commit anything as I mentioned above. You can run multiple experiments in parallel, etc. Commit happens only / when you want to select the best result and share it with the team. But even that is optional.
trained on is ~240TB and Stability has over ~4000 Nvidia A100 (which is much faster than a 1080ti). Without those ingredients, you're highly unlikely to get a model that's worth using (it'll produce mostly useless outputs).

That argument also makes little sense when you consider that the model is a couple gigabytes itself, it can't memorize 240TB of data, so it "learned".

But if you want to create custom versions of SD, you can always try out dreambooth: https://github.com/XavierXiao/Dreambooth-Stable-Diffusion, that one is actually feasible without spending millions of dollars on GPUs.
On the plus side, container ship drag races would now be a thing.

ML was designed in the 70s by Robin Milner to replace all the LISP code he had. Just like LISP it was designed for symbolic manipulation. They are far more similar than you are giving them credit for; and usually recognised as part of the same family tree. The System F calculus also has a "totally different approach to types" but it evolved from the Lambda calculus. ML and Haskell are based on System F and its successors.

why does Microsoft get to have any say in that? Most people using Windows purchased it, either directly or hidden inside the computer cost. Microsoft decision making power should begin and end with designing the product.

I assume the intent is to have a bunch of them replacing the boilers in a large coal plant. Capex and security wise it seems pretty good, and I'd expect capacity factors going on 100% for the heat generating part as it's incredibly simple and you just swap the whole thing once a decade.

But it's nuclear so there's always a scam if you look at the other hand instead of where they're directing your attention.

The card in the other hand today is it uses TRISO fuel. This produces >10x the high level waste which can't be reprocessed. It uses twice as much uranium, triple the enrichment (at levels not possible with most current enrichment facilities). And it is fabricated using a process that is estimated to cost anywhere from $40 to $600 per MWh.

More than likely it also needs a much higher quantity of hafnium or iridium or silver for control rods as well, and odds are you can't make the heat pipes out of non-exotic materials.

I am not talking about them. I am talking about people who are all about worker rights, unions and class struggle — you know — the things that are in the actual communist manifesto.

Whether that fits the people arround that "Vaush" — I don't know — but I can tell you as somebody who studied philosophy at a highly political campus, that the amount of communists who think the soviets (or china for that matter) are anything else than a failure is very low. A few of those strange people exist, but I wish the number of right wingers who think Hitler was a great guy was equally low.

I think you just get a new unique identifier and start over, right? None of these sites know who "you" are, they only have information about certain identifiers that you are in control of. First they ban your email, and you can create an infinite number of those for free. Then they ban your IP address, and you unplug your cable modem and plug it back in, and that problem is solved. Then they ban your phone number, but you can have a brand new one in minutes. Then they ban "you" based on your driver's license, but you just move to a new state and change your name, and get a brand new one that's not in their system. Facebook doesn't have a team of private detectives surveilling you 24 hours a day.

Realistically, I feel like the Tech Companies are losing against their more traditional peers, except maybe Amazon. Maybe social media is a big part of your life and you got banned, but I think it's pretty much on the way out. Nobody can make money with social media, it seems. AirBnB seems to have whipped traditional hotel companies into shape; better rates and less nickeling and diming. Now it's AirBnB that surprises you with a $200 "cleaning fee" because you didn't wash the coffee pot with soap and water. Paypal? Just make your customers pay you with Zelle. The incumbents caught up to the tech disruptors, and the incumbents are actually regulated.

A 42-50 MHz FM band would have been an interference nightmare. During the summer months, Sporadic E propagation is very prevalent on those frequencies (with high signal strengths). And during large sunspot cycles, regular F2 layer propagation is possible during the fall and spring months.

During the peak of sunspot cycle 22 in 1989-91, a great F2 layer propagation indicator here on the west coast US was New Zealand TV channel 1 audio on 50.75 MHz (+/- 10 kHz). If you could hear the wideband FM audio on 50.75 MHz, it was almost guaranteed you could make a ham radio contact with New Zealand at 50.110 MHz.

Why does every thread about functional programming and/or lisp have to have this not-so-subtle dig at developers who don't use them?

Do you really think developers who prefer functional programming or lisp(s) are smarter on average than other developers?
Well, that's your call.
Yes, really. But I doubt we'll agree on that. There was a short time when 'yes, go independent' was on top, but it seems to me to be less popular again [1]. Not by much, I'll grant, but when the tories lose the next election, and Labour stop the current government policy of "screw Scotland, just because", I expect normal service to be resumed.

If the Scots vote for it, of course, they should have that right. I'm not trying to say they shouldn't have their say, I'm saying their position isn't one likely to lead to separation in the near future. IMHO.

You make the data layer deeper than the platform.

Platforms should be clients, not silos. Effective moderation is super necessary. And building a community is really hard. You need a level playing field for platforms to actually figure out and compete on the basis of how well they can solve these problems instead of figuring out how to maintain their status as gatekeepers. The fediverse is a step in this direction but (currently) it's still too siloed and fragile, since server admins can delete all your data on a whim, effectively resetting whatever equity you have built around your social profile.

You should check out a blogging platform called Satellite. The goal is to start building a universal, interoperable data layer that other apps can fork or built on top of by signing all the data and publicly releasing an archive/snapshot of the total network state every 28 days.

Wow, just wow!

Newbie question, why can’t someone just take a pre-trained model/network with all the settings/weights/whatever and run it on a different configuration (at a heavily reduced speed)?

Isn’t it like a Blender/3D studio/Autocad file, where you can take the original 3D model and then render it using your own hardware? With my single GOU it will take days to raytrace a big scene, whereas someone with multiple higher speced GPUs will need a few minutes.
In CLOS, all classes are instances but not all instances are classes.

It just so happens that the object that describes a class's slots, inheritance, etc is ... an instance. Of what? A metaclass. Which is also an instance.

It's confusing at first but eventually it all gels.
I don't see why? The world is a whole lot bigger than the USA!
I think this is too pessimistic. There are always archivists and tinkerers who keep legacy technologies alive. Look at people today making C64 emulators, dot matrix printers. Then there are websites like archive.org.

I believe the bigger problem will be dealing with so much information, it will be hard to catalogue. And the problem of nuance, where future archivists won’t know whether something was AÍ generated, a shitpost, or otherwise false.

What source do you have that it was accounting mistakes? The only source that says that is Sam Bankman-Fried. There's a reason for that, and it's because it's lie. For one, there was no accounting, and Sam Bankman-Fried effectively had control of all the funds across both companies. First-party sources have already mentioned that funds were transferred from FTX to Alameda.

That's a big shame. But don't knock it until you've tried it.

I'm not convinced Lisp is more popular anymore. I've spent the last 10 years being a full time Haskell and OCaml programmer. The killer application is compilers and associated tooling. Almost no one is choosing Lisp for this today. And why would they?

The reason why you need to open the start menu is often on screen, then you hit the Windows key and the context that should be driving your next action is hidden. All it takes is a brief moment of distraction and — if you're like me — you'll completely forget why you opened the menu in the first place.

It's like walking into a room and forgetting why you had entered. At that point, maybe you return where you came from and see an unopened package. Then you remember: you were retrieving scissors.

When the motivating context is in front of you, it's easier to remember what your goal is.

Private businesses are under no obligation to do business with you. We live in a capitalist society where you are free to choose one of their many competitors.

If, however, you find yourself excluded from a monopoly provider, there are a few strategies you can use.

Argue with them. You might get lucky and find a customer support agent who is sympathetic (or apathetic).

GDPR them. Send a Subject Access Request and ask for information they hold about you. They should also give you the opportunity to appeal against any automated decisions.

Go to their regulator. Most companies are regulated by another institution.

Sue them. If you think your exclusion is illegal (if they've banned you for being disabled, for example) then you may be able to to take them to court.

Speak to your local democratic representative. Explain to them what problems this ban is causing. A letter from an MP usually receives a bit more attention than an email from a suspended customer.

Finally, go to their competitor. If they have no competitor, speak to whoever regulates monopolies in your area.
