I agree. I'm most satisfied when I get something done and acquire a new skill in the process. It doesn't really matter whether it's in software, math, cooking, writing, etc. David Foster Wallace wrote about something similar, about how it's not really about the pursuit itself but overcoming the self:

"Schtitt’s thrust, and his one great irresistible attraction in the eyes of Mario’s late father: The true opponent, the enfolding boundary, is the player himself. Always and only the self out there, on court, to be met, fought, brought to the table to hammer out terms. The competing boy on the net’s other side: he is not the foe: he is more the partner in the dance. He is the what is the word excuse or occasion for meeting the self. As you are his occasion. Tennis’s beauty’s infinite roots are self-competitive. You compete with your own limits to transcend the self in imagination and execution. Disappear inside the game: break through limits: transcend: improve: win. Which is why tennis is an essentially tragic enterprise, to improve and grow as a serious junior, with ambitions. You seek to vanquish and transcend the limited self whose limits make the game possible in the first place. It is tragic and sad and chaotic and lovely. All life is the same, as citizens of the human State: the animating limits are within, to be killed and mourned, over and over again."
Agreed! It's kind of fascinating that a better standard hasn't emerged yet, but not surprising given that each one is developed in isolation by a different organization.

Definitely a lot of room for improvement. Curious if anyone has thoughts about the best route to getting such a standard / protocol in place: it seems like a lot of stars would have to align, but would be invaluable nonetheless.
Having a million dollars puts you in lower to mid middle class.

Emergency alerts (not Amber) are planned in 2023. Apparently there was a test today on some networks.

That makes it seem big, I don't think people realize just how far out places like Dease Lake, Dawson Creek and Terrace are.
Not at all. I love being able to solve more problems. It's a great boon for humanity. Brings us all closer to a much brighter future.

> Automation usually requires a lot of painful experimentation and tuning by highly-skilled people before you get it working right

A year ago I spoke to an Apple engineer who works on their manufacturing processes, who corroborated that. He said the reason they aren't fully automated is because human workers are still better at repurposing to new assembly lines making new devices than robots are.
Or do they do both?

A diagnosis might help you get something like medication which does actually help.

I agree that if you don’t plan on taking medication there is no need to seek a diagnosis. Unless you want to get involved in ADHD support groups and stuff, where you’d (imo rightfully) draw some errant looks if you admitted you’d never been diagnosed with it.

For me the medication is life changingly effective so I’m very glad I got formally diagnosed at 25
Eh, there is some truth to that too... Communism is great if you don't have bad actors, that's also why small scale attempts are often loved by participants. It just breaks apart if you're trying to apply it to large nations.

It's also good to remember that the person that's often credited for socialism, Carl Marx, didn't actually have a hand in it's creation as far as I know. He only wrote about what capitalism will cause, and his predictions were pretty much spot on.

From acknowledging these issues, socialism was created... But the person that created it wanted to be in power, so it created way bigger issues then the ones they addressed.
They remembered to hire a chief compliance officer though. One with plenty of fraud experience.
That journal was, when I looked a few months ago, the #15th(!) ranked journal in gender studies, and the paper they got submitted was ostensibly based on 1,000 hours of logged field work; as I remember, the authors had to sign a contract confirming they actually did that work, which they lied about. Here, the Sokal hoaxers are counting on their audience not to understand another important academic distinction: the one between journal review and reproduction/verification.

Last time we had a thread about this, after I rattled off my own experience doing journal review (ACM and Usenix), someone else in a different STEM field jumped in to say that in their entire academic career they'd never even heard of someone requesting and verifying the raw data of an article they were reviewing for a journal. That's not what journal review is. Journal reviewers spend less than an hour, typically, with each submission.

Again: the only thing these people have more contempt for than the woke academics are the rubes they're selling this story to. It's comprehensively premised on their audience being ignorant of how science works:

* That there are low- and high- status journals in every field

* That there are pay-for-play journals of last resort in most fields

* That journal review and reproduction are radically different enterprises (reproductions are research projects in their own right!)

* That "review-and-resubmit" is not in fact an indication that a journal is primed to publish your paper, but rather a nice way of saying "no" (several of the papers they crowed about were exclusively review-and-resubmit)

* That 1,000 hours of field work is approximately 2/3rds of a full time job for a research assistant or grad student

* That getting published in a journal doesn't establish your ideas in the scientific firmament, but rather puts them on the stage to be engaged with and debated by other scientists (this note from Stefan Savage)

We could probably go on and on. It's a pretty sickening stunt, and the people involved should be embarrassed.
Appreciate that and will do!
I believe upper management should be more afraid of ChatGPT than any knowledge worker ever will lmao
The valuation is just insane, and being propped up by a weird cult of personality.

A combination of higher interest rates, traditional automakers fielding some good EV options in mass, and Elon’s personal instability seem to all be hitting at once to get towards a more reasonable valuation.

It's neither accurate nor helpful to oppose generations. Your comment is also in rather poor taste.

I could highlight that many of the 'young generation' voted for Jeremy Corbyn's Labour... and IMHO a reason is that they were too young to remember what his policies really meant because they were born after the fall of the USSR.

Labour has been losing, not because of "old gammons" but because there have been unelectable through terrible manifestos.

This will likely change in the next general election. They'll be just enough better and the Tories have burnt themselves at this point.

"Young and stupid, old and mad", perhaps there's a middle ground.

Re. Brexit is not that the old generation ruined it for the young, it's that they did vote when the young did not.
There are already AI based Analytics Services used by labels/A&R. However, they analyse how tracks are already performing (= their emergence) to gauge the artists future success. Melody pre-analysis is not a big part of that (to my knowledge).

To return to my reply, I suppose you can use a second level AI to rate that first-level 1000 generated melodies, instead of manually curating THE ONE. I don't rule that out. Will it be more successful than a human-in-the-loop process? Maybe one day.

Probably, but perhaps at the expense of a huge increase in false positives.

It's a similar reason we humans tend to get scared of rustling in the night, when the majority of the time there's nothing dangerous out there. Because predators are evolved for stealth and camouflage, our brains overcorrect pattern matching to try to detect them, but most of our "detections" are false positives.

Doesn't surprise me, Android lets carriers and manufacturers install all sorts of garbage you can't remove. It's a pretty terrible operating system. I just disable amber alerts when I get a new phone, never gotten any other type of alert in the US, haven't ever gotten an alert in another country. I also hear that Canada sends out amber alerts with an unblockable "presidential" priority, so if I were ever to move to Canada, I would figure out how to disable that type of alert as well.
> But he's also very "cute"

You’re unvoluntarily making another good point here: He’s young and, yes, cute in the form of having smooth skin, and young. Such things affect the imaginary of people: Old guys are often seen as bad guys in movies. Jurys are heavily influenced by looks. 30 years old and good-looking is an upside in affairs.

I wonder whether the average age of scammers is getting smaller, due to being able to penetrate large finance much quicker in life. Madoff had to be 50-60 to setup such a large scheme. SBF is 30. Will the next AI-wizz be 2 years above legal age?
Having also followed this unfolding drama, I can say this is sadly a reasonably accurate take.

I'll add my own opinion which is that he seems to—at least on some level—legitimately believe that all of this is extremely complicated and impossible to understand unless you're someone of his intellectual caliber. It's so complicated, in fact, that even he struggles to keep it all in his head at once. I say this because I otherwise can't come up with any reason why he would continue to give multiple interviews except that the man actually thinks that his ideas were brilliant and sound, but he just made some understandable mistakes and that if people could understand where he's coming from they'd see that he's a sympathetic victim here and not some idiot that was very obviously going to lose everyone's money from the get-go.

Of course the reality is that he's some idiot that was very obviously going to lose everyone's money from the get-go. None of this is very complicated to anyone who's ever worked in finance (admittedly not me). And absolutely fundamental basic controls were never put into place. These controls were skipped because SBF was convinced he was doing something extremely novel and complicated and such old-school concepts would only hinder his ability to execute on his brilliant ideas. Except these ideas weren't all that brilliant, they just involved doing things the likes of which you wouldn't even imagine attempting in traditional finance because… gestures wildly at the ongoing FTX debacle.
> There have been plenty of studies done with / in regards of masks.

But not plenty positive ones. And not plenty sufficient big ones.

It was clear from the beginning, that the IFR is around 0.1 and 0.2 %, with a much higher rate for old men.
So an appropriate reaction was for sure not the hysteric, fascist way.

> totally NEW UnKNOWN airborne virus

This is bullshit. The virus is from a well known family, and has just some new sequences on some of its proteins. Cross-immunity in many people was near sure. And at least the cleavage site of the S protein has a sequence patented (in 2016 by Moderna), so I guess it was not really unknown, either.

My opinions are less religious than that of most other people. Did you really dare to answer to one of the comments to your comment with a link to a press release of the MPI, instead of a peer reviewed article?
Interesting, thanks for the context. TIL!
This is a privacy and security issue, not a free speech issue. Would you like it if every time you drove somewhere someone tweeted your info on your trip? Thieves would go to your home to rob you while you're away, or someone could arrange a fatal car accident (smash into you) if you're important enough. Or in his case, someone could fly a drone into his plane as it's landing. I mean anything could happen. Why is this an issue of free speech rather than an issue of security and privacy?
We can now expect Tom Friedman, Joseph Stieglitz, and Paul Krugman to write new books explaining it all for their readers. Of course they will tell us how they knew it all along.

The truth is that geopolitics has not gone away. The world is not "flat" but bumpy and separated by big oceans.

Booru use tags instead of captions, so a model trained on them is really limited; moreover, Danbooru has only 5 million images, while other booru such as gelbooru and sankaku have lower quality.
These incredibly small amounts of people are the people running companies that pump the smog in china or india. Their personal disregard for their impact on the climate is reflected in the way they run their companies.

Beyond that, it does speak to a failure in regulations. The fact that that much CO2 can be emitted without a thought of how it will be reclaimed IS the problem with global warming. The cost of emitting CO2 apparently isn't high enough.
that makes a ton more sense, thanks for the clarification

> I thought Trumpism is not welcome here?

China having an export surplus precedes Trump's presidency by a few decades.

> globalization is just westernization?

I think the idea is that countries need similar regulations to complete fairly in a shared market. I.E. The US can really only trade with other western countries if they want to avoid a lot of the present pitfalls with global trade.
The world would be a better place if database drivers were completely abandoned as a way for clients to connect to databases. A standard API, implemented by multiple vendors, is a vastly preferable solution. Arrow Flight is an example of this.

I can’t figure out why China hasn’t priced themselves out of exports yet. Normally countries move up the value chain as their domestic standard of living improves and their currency strengthens. Then other countries find their exports unaffordable.

I know China has pegged their currency to the USD and only rarely begrudgingly let it float slightly. It seems to me that “the ledger” isn’t balanced and that something is being kept off the books.
Hey, the idea of a replaceable battery is a good one. Too bad it was generally uninvented across the board some 10-15 years ago.
Right now I would just be happy with code highlighting and formatting for my posts that wasnt utterly broken. Since last year, GitHub gist imports have had a warning message on them that is only supposed to trigger on non-printable characters, but triggers on literally every gist import for Substack.

Unfortunately, there is no other method for syntax highlighting on Substack.

Support responded after a few weeks that its on their roadmap, but considering how long its been, I'm not hopeful.

>The owner of the @ElonJet Twitter handle says a Twitter employee told him his account was given limited visibility “to a severe degree."

Then you would expect e.g. his likes to go down significantly, right? He would start not showing up in people's feeds and engagement would dwindle to a halt.

From briefly looking through the history to the beginning of November I see no clear trend of reduced engagement. It seems quite consistent. Afterall it is an account about the plane of a billionaire, not exactly the most breathtaking content on the site. I see no evidence that he has "severely" less engagement then before Musk took over.

>Back in January, Sweeney told The New York Times Musk personally reached out to him over DMs asking him to remove the bot in exchange for $5,000. Sweeney counter offered, saying he would consider deactivating the account for $50,000 or even an internship at one of Musk’s companies.

This also seems bizarre. Does Musk really care about $45.000? Is that the kind of money a billionaire wouldn't spend to make some nuisance go away? Seems ridicolous to be honest.
I just started working with a new team a few weeks ago.

So far I've had "nice to meet you" calls with six or seven of the people on this team. And nearly half of them mentioned "by the way, I have ADHD, just so you know."

And since I share so many characteristics with these individuals, now _I'm_ wondering if I have ADHD. Certainly the never-ending Instagram ads want me to think so. Or is this becoming a blanket term for "I'm easily excited and a bit weird"?

Personally, I went almost my whole life with mild depression and didn't even know it - I just thought depression happened to other people, and that what I felt was normal. Then when a doctor gave me the questionnaire during a routine checkup and put me on SSRIs, it was basically life-changing.

So I wonder if this is another case of that?
I've been surfing without javascript since 2015. Most websites continue to work fine without it (though some aesthetic breakage is pretty standard). About 25% of sites become unusable, usually due to some poorly implemented cookie consent popup. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by simply refusing to patronize these sites. I will selectively turn JS on in some specific cases where dynamic content is required to deliver the value prop.
My understanding is the Bahamas has confiscated his passport and is working with the DOJ to decide who prosecutes first as they aren't happy he ripped off rich people either.
In the 90's I worked at some pretty large heterogeneous Unix shops. We had Solaris, HP-UX, DEC Unix, IRIX, and some others. It was a sprawling mess of NFS mounts and NIS authentication ("ypcat passwd", anyone?) I agree with most of what you said, though I preferred Solaris. IRIX on the desktop was pretty fun though! My next job was a pretty big AIX shop. AIX "felt weird", unless you used "smit", which was the TUI you're probably referring to.

In my retro Unix collection, I have a Sparc, Alpha, IRIX, and NeXT box, but they're not all in working order.
We started building a marketplace startup earlier this year. Back then we were naive and weren't familiar with e-commerce stack (and headless commerce API), so we built everything in house (user management, inventory management, database schema, API, auctions etc.). We have a team of 7 covering across backend, web, iOS, and Android.
Are we making a big mistake re-inventing the wheel here? Would love to have some advice on this. When to build vs when to buy when it comes to e-commerce api
Looks like you missed the whole point of this dataset.

The idea that we proved is you can get a dataset with decent caption and images (that do match yes, you can see for yourself at https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval/ ) that can be used to trained well performing models (eg openclip and stable diffusion) while using only automated filtering of a noisy source (common crawl)

We further proved that idea by using aesthetic prediction, nsfw and watermark tags to select the best pictures.

Is it possible to write caption manually? sure, but that doesn't scale much and won't make it possible to train general models.

I don't think anyone knows to what extent this will play out over the next decade. Yes, we are more reluctant to trust outsourcing production to China, and tensions over Ukraine & Taiwan highlight this rift between NATO nations and the East. But by no means has this stopped the inflow of goods arriving from China. I think that within industries that are deemed critical to national defense, especially semiconductors, these are going to be forcibly on-shored. Whether that spills over into "less critical" imports remains to be seen.

When it comes to on-shore vs off-shore production, not sure it can neatly be described as "good or bad". There are trade-offs. When we outsourced more production and manufacturing to China, our economy became more service oriented. We lost some valuable manufacturing skills in the labor force in the process and it takes time to ramp that back up. We are also saddled with far more regulatory and legal issues in the U.S. and that adds a significant burden to costs.

I think as article points out, on-shoring will contribute to CPI increases. Off-shoring offset some of the inflationary fiscal (spending from govt) and monetary policies (QE) of the past few decades. Ultimately goods will cost more. At the same time, it's likely that automation technologies get boosted investment. On-shoring may induce a robotics boom to counter act some of those higher costs (since the ROI will have increased). So maybe goods will be more expensive in short to medium term, but longer term, we may end up in a better place.

The more open questions are how the world grapples with a "multi-polar" world and whether that leads to kinetic war or active trade wars between U.S. & China.
Hasn't this been announced multiple times before?
