You don't need to do an animal study to unit test your gpu code.

And yes, I also work on surgical robotics where we have the latest gpu hardware to do the latest "AI" and again, we don't need to do animal studies to test that code. You do animal studies even everything is seemingly perfect on the bench.

I've worked for 10+ companies that have been acquired snd killed by the Medteonics and J&Js of the world. That's the rule, not the exception.

They should start with a simpler device, get it on market, then go for the crazy stuff.

Prediction from someone who has worked on this stuff for 20 years - Neuralink will never have a on market device.
Maybe something like a Bloomberg terminal on the phone?

It does seem like quite a reach but I think there are a few legitimate niche markets for that price point.

I could not tell from two uk websites whether this applied to foreigners who weren’t interacting with Indonesian citizens or permanent residents. If the broadest interpretation is intended, that will restrict places that don’t have good marriage rates (such as Quebec). There’s still religious vs. Secular issues that might keep the Quebecers out but you get my drift.

Guess Indonesia won’t be a good place for reconciling divorcees, eh? Is divorce recognized in (strict) Islam?
Hi and thank you. The more I think about it, the more I find it kind of nuts that I worked non-stop for ~10 years of my formative life all the while completing a Physics degree without taking a little break apart from annual leave here and there.

The elephant in the room that needs to be addressed is that SFB was the second largest doner to the democratic party where the DOJ is headed by an democratic appointee. This is a very bad look for justice and the democratic party and the longer they let this drag out the worse it looks for them.
Neutral colors have the added benefit of being more easily resell-able (at a higher price), especially to private parties.
Not unless they start converting their bitcoins into actual money, when lots of it might go down in value. If they even have access to secret keys that control these funds.

I can't imagine the stress of having a loved one, especially a child, in a life threatening state. Adding byzantine medical documentation, coding, billing, and collections on top is certainly insult to injury. As a patient and consumer, we just really shouldn't have to care.

If your daughter's treatment had complications, such as a hospital acquired condition and/or sepsis during treatment, her diagnosis at discharge may change. That would change the cost. It's not disingenuous to say that you don't know what a final claim will say until all of this complexity is adjudicated. The existing billing system exists for good reasons. I am not particularly in favor of them, but there are real constraints that must be considered before we can improve. I think the burden on clinicians is unreasonably high and the regulations, driven by Medicare, are so complex that they require an army of clerical staff to navigate. That's the reality of the situation and if the cost and customer experience of healthcare matters to you, I believe you need to confront that reality instead of dismissing it.

It's been a while, but IIRC ASAN catches most/all of the memory-related errors that Purify did.

Purify did have a debugger-like GUI that would break on errors, which could be handy.

For everyone who says "it's too hard" to repair tiny parts, it's not. It requires special tools and surgical hand precision, but the tooling is affordable. You can outfit a lab for less than $1000 non-recurring cost. We should have schematics and boardviews available because they _are_ in effect the product repair manual. We should have ability to order individual chips. Limiting repair to field-replaceable units is IBM's business model.

When I don't have schematics and boardviews, I have to spend time generating them in my head.
Local businesses who buy/grow local, hire local, pay local taxes etc benefit the community in ways that Amazon cannot. Local business also support local events/charities/etc. I think there is a lot of long-term economic benefit in decentralization of money and power, apart from social benefits like increasing trust between citizens. Just my view.

Hmm, pardon, where is it we differ? The word "just" makes me think this is a correction, but I agree with all of that, and I feel like if you that if you take all of that to be true, you get the sentence of mine you've quoted.
I don't really understand the problem, or maybe it's more, I don't think this problem exists as an existential one for more than the set of people for whom it's an existential probem.

Programming and software engineering and their subdomains and superdomains are no longer a priesthood or an academic exercise or playground for Levy-style oldskool hackers, or rather, no longer remotely those things exclusively.

Most of what most people who fit in the supercategory do is work. The specifics of the work vary. If they aren't the ones that give you joy, change categories is a good and readily available solution.

If you want to hack on beautiful code, there are 1000x more ways to do so today spanning the purely aesthetic defined as many ways as you like (live coding, avocational language design, exercises in new tricks for old tools like the demoscene and emulator worlds), to the aggressively useful (small tools made by small teams of solo devs upon which empires balance).

You don't need to be a mid-level IC at MassiveCorp unless you can't give up access to the mana-tap of massive scaling. In which case maybe that IS your thing and the complaint is flat.

The joy hasn't left. Maybe it's just harder for the author to find? Or the problem is simply that no matter what you do for work, it's work, "chase your bliss" being of course a lie, because work IS work, and dissatisfaction like water will always find its level.
Symmetry of boundary conditions cashes out in symmetry of solutions in two ways. The obvious one is solutions that are themselves symmetrical. The less-obvious one is families of solutions, where the symmetry maps one solution to another.

All of the "s" states are spherically symmetric. The "p" (and higher) states aren't spherically symmetric, but are instead a basis for an entire family of states that are related to each other through rotations.
technology also created enormous problems and some of them may become existential. we just don't think of them because we assume that's how things are and there is no alternative.

I am not anti-tech btw, just very skeptical that we have the social and political maturity to benefit from its powers without creating more harm than good.
A nice first step, but somewhat frustrating that they don't include pre-2020 models. A fan in my 2018 mbp has recently started to act up and "reputable" sellers (ifixit) are currently out of stock.

Since my childhood home is next to a gravel road, I somewhat doubt that compacted gravel would be feasible. Gravel roads of all kinds spin up a lot of dust when you drive on them, and on the Moon it would take even longer to settle than on Earth. A constant cloud of floating particles can not be good for your gear if you want to travel through it with any reasonable frequency.
I'm not sure that's true. My limited experience with Minecraft is that it's like "virtual legos".
ActivityPub (the protocol behind fediverse federation) can be seen as both "push" and "pull" federation and they both have different scale factors.

"Pull" can be seen like the RSS model: you set up the accounts that you follow and your instance subscribes a queue to check their feeds and outboxes, and somewhat the feeds and outboxes of people/accounts that they follow. The scale of how "federated" your instance from that standpoint is basically the combined (deduplicated) set of all the follows on that instance. It scales roughly with your number of users and what they choose to read with just a slight virality to also include some of the follows of your follows.

The most obvious follow of a follow is boosts. When a toot you post is boosted it gets added to the feed of the boosting user. When other instances encounter that boost they may directly pull your whole feed from your instance to check the canonical source. Or they may just pull that one toot.

"Push" can be seen like the email model: you have an email address and that has an inbox. This is how you receive things like Favorite/Like notifications, direct messages, and other stuff. Scale is similar to email: it scales with the number of notifications and messages you receive to your Inbox modulo spam detection and unwanted contacts blocks. ActivityPub is entirely HTTP based so your inbox is basically a fancy webhook and scales as well as your instance website can accept incoming webhook traffic.

The combined federation of both approaches stacked together is a complex weave. It's kind of hard to define how "well connected" any given instance is in the federation. Is it how many other instances it pulls from in it queues? It still probably sees plenty for boosts from more instances than just those, too. Is it how many instances send messages to its inboxes? Just about any instance can send directly to an inbox without a previous "connection"/introduction (modulo spam detection and blocklists). Most of it is "organic" based on user activity (just like RSS and Email).
I want to know if I'm getting an implant that I'm not part of that testing group and that the maximum amount of diligence has been done to reduce the risk of side effects in that implant. Careless animal testing and rapid iteration make me less confident about that.

If Musk is willing to cut corners and do sloppy research during animal testing, he is not suddenly going to become enormously careful as soon as humans are involved. He's actively proving that he doesn't have the patience to wait until he's sure about the process before implanting these things in a living brain.

Quick iterations and hard deadlines very often lead to things breaking in production. Once something is implanted in my brain, I do not want quick iterations on it. I don't want it to have been recently changed. And given that Musk appears to be seriously pushing for human testing within the next 6 months, I don't see any reason to believe he's going to want to conduct human testing with significantly more care or that he won't be applying a "move fast and break things" philosophy to that testing as well.

When someone is putting a device in my body, I want to know that the scientists made sure that device would be safe even if doing so meant missing some deadlines.

Correct, only pre-approved price points are allowed.
I wasn't worried. Research assumes a lot of things, like how the future will go. Humanity tends to do things to affect the course of the future. It may be that we use less, run out of stuff, or find alternatives. We have wars, famines, acts of god, or even plain old cultural shifts. Not having kids because you're worried about something like climate change that won't happen anytime soon feels kind of silly. The humans in the future will either adapt and survive, or not. Nothing I do will change the fact that life will change and they'll need to adapt in various ways.
I used to be a professional auto mechanic. I know how to swap tires on a rim. I know how to do it without scratching the fuck out of your nice alloys (which you, dear inexperienced reader, are guaranteed to do the first few times you try it). I know why you need to get the bead into the recess of the rim lest you struggle mightily to get the new tire on. I've changed motorcycle tires by the side of the road with nothing but a couple of tire irons.

I also know that "a lot of work" doesn't even begin to describe it if I'm doing it on my garage floor with tire irons. If you're low on money and without other options, by all means, give it a go. But if $100 isn't the difference between your kids eating or not, save yourself a fuck-ton of grief (as well as half a Saturday) and just go get those new skins put on at a shop where they have big air-driven machines that will spoon those things on in mere seconds. Back in my pro days, myself and a helper timed ourselves from the time the car pulled into the bay until it hit the ground with four new tires: nine minutes. I probably can't get a single wheel off my car from a cold start in nine minutes.

So, yeah, it can be done. But you don't want to do it.
There's two different ways to interpret the GP post. Using the term "civilization" instead of "sophisticated societies", the first is that civilization == the traditional childe definition. The academic timelines around that sort of stuff are well-established and people like graham Hancock do push ideas best described as crackpot about these sorts of societies existing before the LGM.

But there's also the redefinitional arguments that the Childe definition of civilization is wrong. That's the vein you're working in and where books like Dawn of Everything are arguing from. They're much more agreeable to modern archaeologists and most wouldn't disagree too strongly (if at all).

Wengrow has a good opinion piece on this dichotomy in [1].

Arizona has the reputation of being a desert, but in reality it is a state that is half-desert and half-mountain, and has a tons of water. Enough to waste on ubiquitous golf courses and alfalfa farms. There is a canal system taking the water from the mountains to the drier south where people live.

But the population pressures are realigning who pays what for the water now, so I expect the alfalfa farms are going to go, and chip fabs will take their place.
See how long UBI lasts when someone uses it to support unpopular activities. Public arts funding was a great example, where the results can be best described as democratic. Even though I like some ideas around UBI, if it is conditional or otherwise not absolutely guaranteed, it's just dominion.

>"How would it prevent inflation such that the bar for survival isn’t just adjusted to be higher?"

Most proposals suggest indexing UBI to inflation, but it seems like a period of severe inflation has the potential to rapidly turn into hyperinflation.

Assuming a UBI were implemented, I have a feeling keeping up with inflation would prove to be such a challenge that proposals would be made to issue people vouchers for specific goods in lieu of continually adjusting the dollar amount based on the market price of those goods. I can easily see a government choosing to nationalize some of the factories that produce essential consumer goods like toothpaste or toilet paper as a way of controlling costs. A market would still probably exist for 'premium' non-free versions of the same goods.

user1^ is what the user1 pointer points to, if I remember my Pascal correctly. It's a structure and the .name says to take the name field of that structure. So ^. isn't a digraph, it's two separate operators.

Same with your C example. It's doing the exact same thing in C, except the operators (* and .) are separated from each other.

-> is a digraph. It means the same as `*.` I don't usually pronounce it, I just think of it as itself. If I have to say it to myself mentally, I say "sub". I'm not sure I've ever tried to say it aloud to a coworker; if I did, I might have said "arrow" or something.

You do have to learn these things, just like you have to learn all the other operators. But simiones still has a point - at least the math-based operators are much more widely known and understood than the category-based ones.
> Remote Work Is Gutting Downtowns, Will Cost Cities $453B

Looked at another way: “remote work is easing competition for downtown real estate, providing an easy route for cities to deal with housing crises in urban cores.”
Note that even for a spin-1/2 field, nothing weird-looking happens at a macro level. This is because the wave-function enters twice into the expectation values of observables, leaving a spin-0 incoherent portion, and spin-1 vector portion.

> Forcing them to make a larger, more modular device that a few loud people want and most regular users couldn't care less about.

Even worse than that, those few loud people who say they want it can easily turn out to be just that - loud, but not actually wanting it once their demands are satisfied.

Case in point - iPhone Mini. Some people were loudly demanding a smaller iPhone for years. Apple introduces iPhone 12 Mini in Q4 2020 with great specs in a small form-factor. Builds on top of it with iPhone 13 Mini a year later. Then in 2022, Apple announces discontinuing iPhone Mini line due to very weak sales.
