I think that's just a part of society changing. What used to be weird or outrageous might be considered tame now. I'd probably raise an eyebrow at someone walking their anteaters, but I'd probably shrug it off after a second and continue on my way.
Too bad "don't kill your suppliers" isn't a thing.
Well it helps to be accurate in your statements
oh no not this tired tangent again.
That's not the way I read it.

Like you said, they must have agreed a per unit price. The mistake had to have been purely in volume.

When they recognised the mixup with cases / bags, they wouldn't have pushed to deliver the actual expected volume had the unit pricing been a problem.
Says at the bottom since 1.4 which would be 2002 according to wikipedia but the history of java version numbers seems weird and 1.4 might just be the last time the java.util.regex api changed.
You would expect the consultant to explain this to the small business owner, who isn't the SME.

USA never cease to amaze me. Sometimes it seems police is the only solution to all problems, like talking to people is not even an option.
But how many ns per query?
Yes. More generally “defund the police” means “de-scope the police” to get them out of jobs they are not trained for or good at, and especially those which require the exact opposite of typical police skills.
> In the ride share situation, the need for identification and reputation scoring is probably overrated.

I don't think that at all. Reputation systems strongly discourage bad actors from joining the system. Look at email spam for the importance of reputation in distributed systems, and then consider that people are risking auto accidents, being the victim of a violent crime, or being scammed.
> without operator overloading, it wouldn't be possible to implement lazy evaluation

I don’t understand that. You can have functions that return promises that then can get passed to other functions returning promises, and leave it either to the compiler or to an expression evaluator you write (that ideally runs at compilation time as much as possible) to optimize away anything not needed. For example (pseudo-code)

vector3D a = …
vector3D b = …
promise<vector3D> c = addLazily(a,b)
print c.x

in the end, could do the equivalent of

print a.x + b.x

I think you could make a modern C++ compiler do that for this simple example.
Its worse, TSMC is the single biggest semiconductor manufacturer for general logic chips. Samsung has their own fabs for ram and ssd's specialised for density. All the litography equipment they use come from a single company called ASML. They also have complete market domination for the past few generations of litography machines and are the first and only producers of EUV litography.

Semiconductors are so complex and capital intensive that even a duopoly couln't balance the expense.
A less secure app is one where you have to give it your Google account username and password. This gives the app full control of your entire Google account.

This is in contrast to apps that use OAuth which never see your password and are only limited to specific permissions that you grant it.
Does Google censor searches for gun making from high schools? If not, have they gotten sued?

Thats all it takes?
Of the past twenty ebooks I've downloaded, 18 have dead authors and only one is alive.

Unless you focus on the very latest releases, most authors are already dead. If you round up just about any list of great works from the 20th century, you'll find that most of those authors are dead and have been for years. If you like 19th century books, all of those authors are dead.
You can still use a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 license to activate Windows 10.

I'm unsure if this still works with Windows 11, but judging by how the upgrade process works, I would guess so.
We also have support engineers with only highschool diploma! And account managers...
Even the paid Davinci-003 models do not call APIs/make any live requests.
Yeah it is quite similar. I will add this. However, chendian lacks the "filtering" aspect of distilling.
I would love it if the EU or government would enforce equal payment terms for whole company. Lets say a shop wants to have a net 30 terms with their suppliers, then they should also offer net 30 terms for their customers.

This would equalize power dynamics. The large corp shouldn’t be allowed to demand immediate payment on one side and then just significantly delay payments on the other side.
I am arguing that this law should be apllied to both sides. Now it is one sided.

If every EU citizen (when opening a bank account) has to sign a document that they are or arent an US citizen...

then all americans should also sign a similar document where they confirm if they are or arent EU citizens.

Now USA has a tool to track avoidance but EU doesnt.

EU could just stop sharing this data with USA and demand reciprocation.

Also I dont claim that this helps much, but it feels like EU citizens are second grade citizens in EU.

I somehow doubt that americans have to sign a document that they arent an EU citizen when they open their bank account.

Also lets dont act like EU doesnt have own ammunition. For starters it can stop sharing this information with US.
Both blocks are friends, but come on. EU as a block is second on third in the world per GDP (why wikipedia doesnt show EU as whole block btw).
Didn't we have that already when there was a bunch of independent taxi/car companies in each town? You could call one of them up on the telephone (in a decentralized manner). They could drive to your location (via a decentralized route), and take you to what ever decentralized location you like.

Heck, if you even get banned by one for puking in the car, you can always just call a different company the next ride.

So there, I just invented it. I'm going to call it "DUber".
This is definitely not true. In theory a generator could reproduce a distribution of data that includes more than the data it was able to sample from. For example, you could create the distribution of all possible faces from a subset of sample faces. That means you could create the faces of people who do not yet exist. Now good luck getting that perfect generator (black swans, bias, etc), but it would be naive to believe that they (well... that there can be no generator that) are just copy input data and mashing them together. At least if you're going to believe that that also isn't happening in the real world, but then what's the difference?
It sounds like they're saying "we don't overbook on purpose, but sometimes we need to change what plane we use on a flight and we've already sold more tickets than the new plane can accommodate"
Software Engineer and Software Developer are used interchangeably for the most part and I don't think you can really get any meaningful distinction just by the name (in most countries at least).

Some countries (Canada I think being one?) may require you be licensed/registered with an engineering body before you're allowed to call yourself an engineer, but thats not the case in most countries AFAIK

What you are probably missing is that for the model to be competent at predicting the next the word IT HAS to learn how to reason as a human being would.
Cost-plus is part of it, but also just the launch vehicle acquisition process in general.

Early on, SpaceX's biggest hurdle was getting payload contracts. IIRC they had to sue the government several times to overturn bad acquisition policies. Government acquisition processes weren't suited to supporting small new entrances into the launch market and there was somewhat of a belief that you weren't a credible launch provider unless you were as large as Boeing or Lockmart.

In comparison nowadays it's relatively normal for lower cost programs or ones which can accept some loss to try flying on less proven rockets. New bold approaches to designing, building and flying rockets aren't immediately dismissed as just young naive engineers who haven't had the reality of spaceflight beat into them.

Nah, I'm talking about taking away all their funding. If an organization is a criminal racketeering organization, you don't get to pretend like you're just funding the good half.
If Linux, OSS, and the like is a firmament of modern society, AND IT IS, why would it be left to adhoc donations or the whims of corporate donations?

There should be billions in funding of OSS from governments each year. Think that's ridiculous? Consider how much Microsoft makes in support payments from governments around the world. The US government has a 92 billion dollar software budget.

Many people don’t have great options and see such opportunities as possibly their only chance for a big break.

They’re playing in the big-leagues and needed the kindness of strangers to bail them out of what appears to be their mistake as going by other comments units as cases are industry standard. That the distributor couldn’t move the product compounded the issue. Supplier/distributor shenanigans are common and something to be on the constant lookout for, but this seemed pretty normal, the prudent thing to do would be to not have signed up for so much but of course they didn’t know they did. Pulling the pin early might have helped, as it wasn’t selling they wouldn’t be liable for damages for failure to supply, but it would have impaired their ability to grow.

Not suggesting those here did anything nefarious beyond overextending by mistake but there does seem to be a new trend in e-begging where someone gets themselves into a situation and seeks a bailout from social media. “Help I accidentally bought a $100K couch” for example.

I don’t blame people doing something that’ll help them. I often wonder if I were to get terminally ill and there is an expensive cure beyond my ability to pay what my go-fund-me video would look like.
I've seen this even worse outside of the US, and just how ... poor trade routes, trust and "markets" are.

It really makes me appreciate the US more. But I am still dismayed that I'm all caught up on the state of commerce and that its not even more streamlined and sophisticated.
DreamWorks, Cartoon Network accused of illegally luring kids to YouTube
Yes, the DOJ is a superset.

the FBI is part of the DOJ and the AG is overall responsible for them.

It is the investigative arm of the DOJ.

Their procedures and powers are covered by guidelines (a public set and a classified set) issued by the AG
The padding doesn’t have to be 0 because the comparisons are masked off so the padding bytes are not included. Also, there is no null termination assumption. Though, I guess the last ‘fastest’ example does have the null terminator assumption but this should be assumed because it did assume zero padding. The only other assumption is that 8 bytes can be safely read and this is assumed in the original post. There might be an endian assumption.
Glad they actually paid. I've had similar situations where I'm still waiting for the money 5 years later (I know it's never coming)
Tangentially related: why does the US have such a problem with supplies of formula milk?
Screen time is only part of it. As a Digital Vegan I'm nore focused
on screen quality.

The newest command line user in our family is 7. I gave her a
Raspberry Pi last Christmas and loaded one thing; a python shell
"PlayOS" that I wrote to make everything a three or four letter
command. The idea is to improve her reading and writing/typing by
putting everything she wants a few keystrokes away on the command
line.

So far we have:

music - plays a random tune from her music collection

music abba - selects something more specific

see - shows something visual, for example;

see me - random photos from the holiday album

see octonauts - an undersea cartoon plays

read - stories and rhymes

say - make the computer speak (festival - which she calls robot
voice)

Basically, each time she expresses an interest I add a python tuple
which is a parsing template like alias + exec. After that she
memorises the command. By 9 I expect her to have mastered a computer
by typing, including sending emails to mom and dad etc. When she's had
enough she knows the poweroff command - which it's own kind of fun.

Most of her friends drag their fingers over images on tablets.
They get into a tantrum if it's taken away from them. They are
addicts before they are 10.

Hopefully I'm helping build a life-long skill, but I dread the day her
friends, pawing at screen like retarded monkeys, tell her that phones
are better :)

Yes, there are physiological reasons to limit screen time too. But
that's not my threat model at present. Time to boredom on PlayOS is
always less than 1 hour.
sigh, I know. But food brokers are outsourced commissioned reps and not strategic thinking shareholders. Food brokering is a tough business and many are (shall we say) not that great, and very few think strategically.

(I do know some great ones, btw)
It's worse than that because they will drag out payment after the term has passed.

My first job out of school was for a mom-and-pop manufacturing company. I got an inquiry one day from a very well known company, and mentioned it to the boss. He gave me a long lecture about why we didn't work with that industry. They were notorious for stringing their suppliers along and holding them in a sort of debt bondage. I remember responding with a FAX (yeah, that's how it was done) explaining our terms: Pay in advance. The boss made sure that the business was never beholden to a single large customer.

We also had a draconian, hair-trigger, credit hold process. I remember overhearing the scheduler / receptionist telling a customer: "You are on credit hold right now, we can't schedule your next production run."
Thanks! I updated my comment at a few points.

The numbers still don't quite add, given 24k bags sold + 634 cases of decaf still for sale (= 3804 bags) is still under the initial 30k bags. But I suppose 2k bags of decaf could have easily sold in the meantime.
Reading their description, there is no real point in which anyone takes real ownership of this mistake and so something like this is probably likely to catch them again.

Did the consultant drop the ball? Yes, but so did they, in a pretty big way.

Still, I've run businesses and when you're trying to bootstrap without experience this kind of thing does happen.
I was told the OpenAI playground could connect to the internet but my source must have been misinformed. Thanks for clarifying.
I'm here to bump the book Range but for me T-Shape theory is more about Tetris for Teams so you have overlap at the conversation level and enough depth in the direction(s) of travel. My hot take is Management Theory by 2D Shape Jargon is going to find its stride so in a few years xyzGPT will be classifying us as hyper-dimensional dodecahedrons anyway. /s.
yea I've seen this too. suprising how many people are not interested in being parents but decide to have kids for whatever reason.
I hear this type of opinion expressed frequently by coders. I use ChatGPT pretty much every day (to help with various tasks) and there's just no way to hold on to this kind of belief after you get to "know" it at that level. It clearly can reason, maybe not in exactly the same way as a person. It is superior to the average person just in terms of following a logical argument in many cases. Maybe that is a low bar but I can't help but think that it is much higher than you think.
> The knowledge is stored in the model's weights in the same way the knowledge you possess is stored in your neurons. There is not much difference, honestly.

Do we know this to be true? I guess I'm not aware that we understand very well how memories are stored/recalled in a human brain.
Interracial marriage was illegal in the 1950s because racists saw the existence of and normalization of black people in white society as a political statement and an attack on their way of life. It is the same reason why interracial kissing in movies was considered taboo back then.
Even in the age of computers each transaction has a cost and a risk associated. And there is no upside to large companies. They don’t want to receive per-minute payments any more than they want to send them. So if 95% of a business’ volume works one why, why invest in making 5% different just to deal with smaller vendors, who are already more difficult to deal with (for 100% good reasons).
While I appreciate the sentiment, I think it is somewhat superficial. People enjoy many things that were not apparent even a few hundred years ago, let alone at "the beginning of man". For example, the notion that someone would go out and expend important calories on exercise would have been unthinkable in the past, but is now a major source of happiness of a large portion of the population - and a source that is totally separate from the health benefits (for example, the health benefits of running turn negative after some distance / time run, differing by individual cardio conditioning).

Travel for the sake of travel is another - several hundred years ago travel would be considered dangerous, life threatening, and only to be undertaken for major gain - now we think nothing of doing it on a weekend for the enjoyment of seeing another place.

These are just two examples that come to mind.
> Power regulators doesn't need small transistors, it wants big nice and fat transistors.

Is it possible to make bigger transistors using a smaller process? Just because you are using saying a 7nm process, can't you still make a transistor (like if you needed) that was the same size as it was on 90nm? I think of newer processes as merely being more precise so you could still do the old designs on them, you are just unecessarily tying up the newer machines... but concievably in the future you could just start using 5nm process to keep producing 30 nm and 90 nm chips just to consolidate production lines, non?

I know nothing about this, so I'm just asking.
Oh no. I think I didn't save the sources. Gonna have to find them again.
No need to fear Design Reviews – Learn to do them the Agile way
That's a fairly strong assertion. What's the evidence for this?
How could that be bad?
This must be about the 50th time I've seen the exact same comment with the exact same response. It's getting very dull. At some point somebody will say "it gets stuff confidently wrong all the time" and someone else will say "so just like people do?"

To call the model "just statistics" is meaningless. To call it "just like a brain" is unsupported. There are better ways to debate this.
I've seen many of Michael's lectures and now I'm at the point of just waiting for something new from him. I'm super excited about his research but it would be nice to know if a new lecture has new material and discoveries in it without having to watch the whole thing.
PyXLL, openpyxl, xlwings ?

> Off-topic, but it feels like I'm the only person who thinks phrases like "small dick energy" are bad.

You aren't, there’s been considerable discourse on Twitter, on both this and “big dick energy”, most recently in response to the Thunberg tweet involved in this incident.

> When did it become acceptable to shame men for the size of their penis?

Its not new to do that, at all, but “small dick energy” doesn't do that, just as “big dick energy” doesn't praise for the opposite but instead references a different trait stereotypically associated with it (which “small dick energy” plays on by referencing a corresponding and opposing stereotype. (Which may be problematic on its own, but is different from shaming the target for their penis size.)
Some people would claim that this is a special case, and if large language models can save more lives statistically speaking than human doctors, then that's a win.
Thanks, that's helpful to know.

Regarding the format I was wondering mostly how it might be possible to parse and add/remove data as part of an automated workflow. Most of my notetaking tools have ended up as part of a broader scheme like this.

Related, if I'm viewing/editing a file and an external process updates the file, is there any kind of alert or notice for the user, or could you describe what happens?
The customers of distributors are retailers. They’re not killing the retailer. They’d be killing the supplier in this scenario.
> the fact that the ancients didn't have psychology

They did. They called it religion, spirituality, or community but they led happy fulfulling lives using ancient, tried and true methodology I would encourage you to re-evaluate your assumptions if you really think the fundamental human experience today is really drastically different from the time of Buddha, the Roman Stoics, or the ancient Daoists.
> it definitely should be possible at a router level, why should i be forced to configure each device individually?

Because you shouldn't be able to control other people's devices just because they happened to connect to your Wi-Fi. And you don't have to configure them all individually anyway: you can use Group Policy, MDM, etc. to configure that setting on your whole fleet at once.
Leaving China in 2017.
The quoted point is wrong though! CRT isn't supported by the left wing, it's simply been trashed by the right.

BLM isn't supported by the left wing. We are simply standing in opposition of loud forces on the right.

BLM isn't a typical top-down organization. There may be a BLM recognized by the government but they aren't the ones that were organizing.

I don't think Scali is right-wing because they are critical of things they don't understand, but if they keep siding with right-wing factions I do have to make a judgement.

>Even if I approach it from a left-wing, anti-capitalist point of view.

I would love for you to do this on this new account with only one comment.
This looks very interesting. I still question whether teams need this or React Native when they could just bring their existing React web app to mobile with Capacitor. The benefit to that approach is being able to use React web frameworks like Next or Tailwind, without having to use a system specifically designed for native mobile or React Native. Regardless, different solutions work for different teams and this looks like a very interesting project that I need to spend some time with.
The reliability data will be collected by inspections. Also from memory, their fleet leaders tended to do Starlink launches. Loosing one of those might suck, but can still be sold as due to pushing boundaries and something that wont happen to customers. They need backup launch equipment, ofc.
But when they dig it up and it was really half a yard, they're just going to scratch their heads, nobody dies.
How sure are we that knowledge in humans is fundamentally different from a language model? How do you generally represent knowledge? Graphs? Patterns with typed place holders? Could those structures be embedded into a language model?
Maybe not even suppliers and just organizations. I once offered tutoring services to someone who was working with the VA to get their degree. Since it was a subject outside of their normal scope and I was not a contractor with the VA I had to fill out paperwork and even then it took a year to get approved and paid for the services. Thankfully I wasn’t doing this for a living but as a favor and the person I was working with was very persistent in following up with his have supervisors otherwise I would given up long before.
