> I imagine that Elon Musk could just buy back the debt at $7.8 Billion, wiping out the $13 Billion debt

Jeez, I wonder how that'd go:

Banks: ELON WON'T BE ABLE TO PAY BACK HIS DEBT. SELL IT TO ANYONE RELIABLE WITH 40% LOSS!

Elon: Oh hi, I wanna buy it.

Banks: We said someone reliable! And with 40% loss, not 100% loss, moron! Go back to tweeting!
No, you're completely right. IIRC there's some comment here that propose this same position.
> Twitter was the last cycle’s top-tick buyout

Can you please unroll the meaning of "last cycle's top-tick buyout" for us, please. Thanks.
If you use the provided pytorch code, have a modern CPU and enough physical RAM, you can do this currently. As you suggest, inference/generation will take anywhere from hours to days using a CPU instead of a GPU or other ML-accelerator-chip.
thanks! you all are amazing, I love the cooperation on this forum :)
Do us all a favor and throw the dead ones away.

I've watched I don't know how many people cycle through three dead markers on a white board and put them all back. The only way a conference room ends up with 3 dead markers is because it has 3 dead markers and nobody does anything about it. When there are no markers left new ones will show up, one way or another.

I would be fine with an AI being trained on my code, provided that the weights of said AI would then be published under the same license as my code.

Is there a license for that?
A system where laws or representatives (who vote on laws) are freely voted on, is called democracy. Tiny groups of self interested individuals imposing their will on others not only has nothing to do with democracy, but is ideologically contrary to everything that democracy stands for.

In times past our society was much more decentralized and so literally killing or physically intimidating people was really the only way to try to overtly impose yourself on others. Today, you can make it impossible for people to be able to openly communicate, destroy their businesses or ability to earn a livelihood, and basically just destroy their lives. Many have even been driven to suicide. And this can all be done safely from a distance and without ever resorting to anything even remotely illegal.

It's an authoritarian's dream scenario. What you may not appreciate is that authoritarians don't think themselves the bad guys just trying to maliciously impose their will on everybody. They, of course, always think they're creating a better world. This [1] is the Fascist Manifesto, which was the initial public doctrine upon which literal Fascism was framed in.

You might find you agree with most ideas there. I do as well. The reason Fascism came to be seen as little more than a slur is not because of their stated views, but because of their actions and behaviors. So too today. The small minority of people running around trying to censor people, get them fired, destroy their businesses, and just generally cause chaos unless you conform are not going to be go down on the proverbial "right side of history" even if their ideas, on paper, might be perfectly great.

> the point of making software open source is so that other people can leverage your work

The point is that other people can leverage your work under the terms you distribute them under. For the vast majority of open source licenses, that means giving attribution and including the copyright notice and license when distributing the source code or its derivatives. For others, it means all of that and releasing derivatives under the same license.

If developers wanted to distribute their code under licenses with different terms, they would have, but they didn't.

I thought one of our artists was going to kiss me when I showed him this trick.

He'd been drawing an elaborate picture on our white board with a permanent marker some idiot transferred from a paper easel. He got nearly the whole thing drawn without any mistakes, and only as he was finishing did he realize he couldn't erase it. Boy was that an emotional roller coaster.
Anyone remember PubSubHubBub?
The people who clicked the "hardcore" button were mostly:

1. People with visas.

2. People with illness, like chemotherapy.

3. People who need the money to support a family, pay rent.

4. People who loved & cared about Twitter too much to abandon it.

5. People who decided to trust their boss one last time.

Let's not mock those people.
Not that I'm a fan of Haskell, but I believe that if this log is critical to the behavior of the program AND it is inserted in a place where important effects have previously not been expected (such as pure mathematical calculations) then it is a good thing that the language makes you aware of that. Someone might for example be caching/memorizing those calculations and suddenly your log isn't always executed and that might be a bug.

I much rather prefer to evaluate the impact in advance rather than having to find and figure it in production.
> if you can demonstrate positive DNS record control and go through the motions with support it does get done and you gain control.

nope. made the DNS change. went through the motions. even got at call - at 5AM Eastern Time - from a support person to ask me one question, then "I need to confer with so and so". several emails later, new support people asking the same questions. but because I cannot answer "recovery questions" made by person who has left the company, they refuse to offer any other support. attestations of proof of who we are be damned, they just follow their robotic script. so we're just screwed.
The OE community (a rabbit hole I just went down) actually advocates that the folks doing this don't lies. And it's all predicated on the assumption that J1, J2, J3 don't actually require, from a competent person, a full 40 hours of work each week to accomplish the normal expected goals of the position.

I know that in my own work, having experienced periods of burnout where I just didn't have the energy for more, that 15 hours a week is perfectly sufficient to get the job done in a way that keeps everyone happy. This, of course, may vary from time to time. Occasionally urgent tasks come down the pipeline that have me working a 60 hour work week. Currently I'm in an extended period of time where I don't have much time to do anything outside of critical and urgent tasks. But historically, I've devoted a lot of my time to pet projects, areas of personal interest that might bear little or no fruit on my primary responsibilities (though sometimes they do, to great effect) and I'd occupy my time going down rabbit holes of either professional development or curiosity or whatever.

I think organizations kind of understand this on some level too, for certain types of workers. We're paid to do the 15 hours of work that absolutely has to get done every week, but otherwise we're paid to be available as latent capacity ready to be spun into action when a situation calls for it.

I definitely think there are some ethical consideration here that shouldn't be ignored. If working multiple jobs I don't think it's ethical to short change either of them on what they expect from the position as a result of working multiple jobs. But I look at top level execs where I'm at and lots of other places and see them collecting honorariums or other types of payment for sitting on boards of other businesses or even renting out their time as consultants, and it seems ridiculous that I shouldn't be allowed to do the same (To be clear, I don't actually do that right now) provided I'm fulfilling the tasks of J1.
The convolution theorem is much uglier for the hartley transform. I guess this is the main reason. You can see the Fourier transform as a simple variant of the Hartley transform where the linear filtering can be done directly in the frequency domain, without all the fuss of the hartley transform convolutions.

Another advantage of Fourier with respect to Harley is that derivatives become products with polynomials. Thus the Fourier transform transforms linear pde into trivial algebraic equations. For the Hartley transform, you get more complicated functional equations, so that it's not as useful.

Slavery has introduced a strong evolutionary pressure which has a measurable effect on the genetic mix present in African Americans.
Sadly, the subject is barely researched (the last time I checked, the only paper tackling the subject directly had been written by a team of Chinese researchers that are now studying the genetics of Uyghurs...), for understandable reasons (no one wants to risk having their research misrepresented by racists in search of scientific justifications).

I’m curious - here in Southern Europe we have been using pressure cookers for ages. They’re meant to be used on the stovetop (usually electric). The newer models (like in the last 20 years) are also quiet (no revolving noise maker). They also double as a plain deep pan.

Isn’t that common in North America? Why do you have to buy an extra appliance?

Somewhere I picked up the idea to place reflective tape on the inside of the rim between the spoke holes. Not really for side visibility, but for front/rear off-angle visibility I like it. You can alternate (say every 3) to produce a flashier pattern when you're moving.
Management styles are regularly studied and emulated so yes some CEOs will try to emulate him. It may be effective, in some cases, but it's too chaotic so I doubt it will catch on.

Plus, very few CEOs of large companies have the freedom to do as they want. Usually, they have to account to a board of directors that keeps them from going too crazy with the company's assets.

I have no doubt that he'll end up as a MBA case study on what not to do even if he's 100% successful.

Just to be clear, its actually the bird itself I care about. I think its identity is something that deserves respect and shouldn't just be randomly adopted by someone who thinks it is cool. I am glad that some Māori people are asserting a degree of hegemony over the use of NZ names and identities and I appreciate their intent. If you think this is ridiculous, just try and call your technology product Walmart, Amazon, The Warehouse or even the All Blacks and see what happens.

That clause appears to violate Item #6 of the OSI's open source definition:

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

It also seems to violate freedom 0 of the FSF's four essential freedoms that define free software:

> The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

I'm not sure this can be used by open source projects if they want to remain open source projects.
> Sleep 8-10 hours per night

How do you do this??

Around 4am my brain switches on and I am awake. It is running thinking about problems I was working on the previous day, or just random stuff (that I forget by 6am). I try breathing exercises, meditation but nothing gets me back to sleep.

I have pretty good sleep hygiene, do little after 7pm as I'm so tired and in bed before 10.30pm and fall asleep quickly. And then wake up early.

I'm so tired and it's impacting my performance during the day.
It's not a cop-out, it's exactly how other countries have eliminated this problem.

The US is the largest incarcerator in the world, yet it still has these problems. Your suggestion is that we can imprison our way out of this, but prison makes people poorer, in some cases permanently, which ultimately makes the problem worse.
For other metals you can enjoy watching how one wire erodes away and other one stays nice and bright. Does not need to be potato either — any water based conductive medium will do. Even a cup of hard tap water is conductive enough. Distilled/RO/DI water will not conduct reasonably well. You can just add a drop of salt/vinegar/juice/etc to make it more conductive.
Then the weather forecast should be guessable all the time also I guess. It is not.

But the dice experiment is: one leaves variables out of the model bc of its overwhelming complexity for what we know so far.

No, I do not buy this, vote me negative but I do not. If it was true, the weather forecast should be guessable.

This smells of p-hacking to me. Only 2 of 6 tests showed statistical significance and it was a relatively modest effect. Not impossible that there's an actual causal link. But I'm not quite buying yet given the amount of normalization they did and size of the effect.
I really don’t want to sound argumentative just for the sake of it, but sandboxing through “not allowing any side effecting things” is quite.. trivial? Like, I have written a brainfuck interpreter and it can only do prints to stdout, so it is guaranteed safe, hell, it is quite good as a compile target!

There is nothing inherent in java bytecode that would make it unsafe, nor hard to AOT compile — runtime reflection is not part of the JVM spec itself, it is a separate API (akin to WASI) that provides this capability. So, a JVM interpreter can also do no harm without attaching the endpoints that can do harm obviously. Also, there used to be a project called gcj 20 years ago that managed to AOT compile java just fine, the only riddle here is the aforementioned reflection. Graal uses a closed-world assumption to solve it.

Your link is interesting though, will look into it.
Pick your battles. Some stuff is worth getting into an argument about. For, most of it however, it's worth clearly articulating your position but not necessarily falling out over.
A slow cooker is not a pressure cooker. Slow cookers don't have pressure seals, unless you buy one of the hybrid ones (InstantPot being one example brand) that do both functions.

With a slow cooker, you don't leave the hob on for 8 hours; they have a low wattage (relatively speaking) heating coil that won't even get a pot of water up to boiling point (generally).

Selling stolen goods hurts everyone, which is why it's a crime. It hurts the companies being stolen from, it hurts competing businesses who have a hard time competing legally, it hurts consumers, who get reduced choice due to reduced competition, and it hurts communities when their local chains shut down because organized crime has a place to fence their goods.

It's mind boggling that folks are defending the ability to sell stolen goods, while wanting to harshly punish petty theft.

A lot of web pages already have a copyright notice, why doesn't that stop AI's from training on the contents of web pages? Can you train AI's on patents? Or on binary executables? Or from cameras that observe the public? Or from public legal document repositories? Or from Lexus-Nexus data? Or your personal health tracking wearable data? What exactly is ok or not ok? AI's can train on just about anything. I have long had a suspicion that most sites with large user populations use their collected data to train a stock market algorithm (in addition to advertising algorithms). What rules apply to government use of AI trained on all the data governments collect?
Can't even argue with someone who thinks like this. But in an ideal situation, you would get to live in a city with no prosecution for theft and I get to live somewhere with harsh punishment for theft.

It is very easy to cool a city that is 1200 meters above sea level and with low humidity. I wouldn't be surprised if temperatures during the nights fall to 0C or below during the cold season. Any kind of evaporative cooling will work very well there.
>> However, Sir Thomas Walker Arnold doubts the entire narrative of the forced conversions of the Zoroastrians, citing many examples of tolerance that were shown by the Muslim overlords concluding that "in the face of such facts, it is surely impossible to attribute the decay of Zoroastrianism entirely to violent conversions made by the Muslim conquerors". Arnold suggests that some of the conversions of the former-Zoroastrians were actually sincere citing the similarities between the two religions as a motivation for the conversions. Stepaniants also (like Arnold) declares that some historians have said that some of the conversions to Islam were sincere citing the fact that Islam offered a broader door of brotherhood, unlike the restrictive criteria of Zoroastrianism.

Why not ask Iranians themselves about their history and how they were treated by the Muslim invaders 1400 years ago? They are currently opposing an __Islamic__ regime which prides itself in following the "true" Islam first introduced by Muhammed, while also killing children and civilians on the streets of Iran as we speak. Look at what the Iranian protesters are chanting these days; they are literally fed up with Islam and how it was forced on them ever since 1400 years ago (conquest of Persia). Most Iranians nowadays believe that their country is being held hostage by Muslim clerics and needs to be liberated. You wouldn't expect that from a nation who mostly accepted Islam for reasons other than force and brutality.
This economics point is often misunderstood, because at the high-end of the earnings spectrum, a large portion of income can go to savings, and cost-of-living differences make no impact on that.

That is, if you're making a $200k salary in NYC, let's say you spend 50k a year on housing and 50k a year on other expenses, but the rest you can put towards savings.

Then you move somewhere that is 50% cheaper, but you make 50% less. So now you can get the same quality apartment for $25k and your other expenses are only $25k, but you're only saving $50k a year instead of $100.

Obviously this is a gross oversimplification, but the vast majority of time if you move to a place with a much lower cost of living, your reduction in salary, if looking at local jobs, is unlikely to make up for it. Never mind the fact that for many industries there are only a few places where you can live if you really want a career: if you work in high finance or fashion in the US, you probably want to live in NYC. Film or TV, you'll be in LA, etc.

There a whole community (maybe a movement?) around OE (Over Employment), how to go about while 1) Legitimately doing the work required of you but 2) The practicalities of hiding dual employment status since it's often frowned upon if not outright banned (thoug some places baked it into their assumptions that employees may do this and simply set guidelines around how it must be done..

High level execs, especially in the C-level suites, are very commonly collecting multiple pay checks for sitting on the boards or advisory panels of a half dozen or more corporate entities. Why on earth should they be allowed to engage in that sort of activity while when others beneath them can't? Is the CEO putting in a 40 hour work week when they spend a decent % of their time jetting to their next board meeting for some other company or sitting in on conference calls for them etc.?
