I was trying to keep it simple, but yes. It's not only the protein composition itself, but also the environment.

It's like trying to solve an equation with 1000's of unknown variables and only 200 rules on variable interactions that are correct 90% of the time.

Even just modeling a 100% pure aqueous environment and the interactions of water molecules is a massively complex problem.

I wish federal law would just abolish non-competes completely.

When I gave advanced notice to Tudor Investment that I would be quitting they threatened to fire me with cause so that they could still enforce the non-compete without paying me in accordance with NY state law.

And they followed through with their threat, sending me a letter telling me I was being terminated with cause the day I officially quit.

To make their shitty shenanigans worse, they made the unpaid non-compete just short enough so that it wouldn't be worth it to sue. The NY Department of Labor also doesn't handle complaints if you're salaried above a certain threshold.

Don't ever work for Tudor Investment, they're two-faced assholes, but I shouldn't be telling you that when the government should.

I would wager that there aren't many trade secrets (I'm sure there are some) that a security guard (from the link) could bring with them.
Things like this are the best way to increase per-employee productivity in the economy, which has been flatlining.

Another example could be tacitly encouraging holding multiple jobs.

When the interests of employers conflict with the interests of overall economic productivity, government should lean towards the latter, instead of always taking the side of the employer. Let capitalism do what it does best.
Nobody knows what you're talking about!
The fed generated money like Germany in WW2. Unfortunately people at tech companies don't understand the so called laws of supply and demand and just hired people with no logical thinking at all.
This is a step in the right direction. However, I don’t know how much more the FTC can do on a case by case basis.

I’m curious if the Supreme Court has taken up cases about non-competes and analyzed if they violate the constitution since they clearly block individual freedom to pursue a living.
Replaceable cogs, yes, that's been the push regarding programmers since the 80s? Earlier? Plenty of articles and rants online to read about the phenomenon as it specifically relates to programming going back to the 90s, also probably earlier, too.

As someone close to that situation, Firefox OS's failure had nothing to do with being web based beyond the fact that it was incompatible with the two dominant mobile platforms.

Ex. If you can't run the Android or iOS YouTube app, what you have left is the web one... which could be amazing, but is hardly a fully functional PWA because Google would rather you used the native app.

Firefox OS would have failed all the same had it been based on Qt, or even if it was based on Java without the Android runtime and SDK.

“Uniform Trade Secrets Act”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Trade_Secrets_Act

Edit: My (possibly incorrect) understanding is that rather than having a blanket “everything is our secret” kind of contracts like we have now, the act requires the company to specify what they have that they consider a secret, and to show that they take steps to protect those secrets above and beyond regular day-to-day information exchange within their company.

For example, a list of customers would have to be explicitly identified as “secret”, and handled more carefully.
I'm not clear on why those non-competes were illegal when others aren't. Any lawyers in here willing to shine their flashlight on the right rabbit hole for me to descend? (I do have some experience in legal research tools and documents by proxy as a developer, just no significant knowledge of law.)
Park that shit behind Caddy. Case closed.
At the time, the belief among most policy people was that China’s economic growth would lead to democracy. Obviously, that didn’t happen, but I don’t think it’s accurate to suggest they traded against the worlds interest for profit. In the early 90s after the fall of the communist bloc, it seemed to many that global liberal democracy was inevitable.
And the results are? I'd love to see that analysis because I'd bet the accuracy rate isn't that great.

It varies state by state since there are different rules by each on what clauses in non competes can be enforced. Some states like CA and MA straight up ban them.
Huh? The FBI received the laptop in the fall of 2019. They 100% knew it was the real deal at election time.

Wow, with such overlap it looks like optimally-played chess has a much smaller state space than what you'd expect given possible moves each turn.

I don't think this applies to language or image models. But that would also allow models to foil detection by "playing" far enough from optimal.

Staff does have a negative intrinsic value- they are paid salaries. If (and only if) the business can deliver on some arbitrary stated goals, it’s more valuable if it can do so with fewer people on staff.
If that doesn't work out, I think they make a combination drug of naltrexone/bupropion if the naltrexone worked for you originally. The latter drug activates parts of the brain that are responsible for emesis and it works well with the reward blocking effects of naltrexone.

Good luck either way.
Yes — I understand you tried to dismiss the CFO funding the terrorists who gunned down Antonio Mays Jr from total ignorance. To you, the death of a black teenager is a topic that it’s okay to bullshit about and dismiss out of hand.

Most people would have looked up the murder I was talking about before trying to dismiss it — but triggered bigots often get ahead of themselves.

Meta especially went up because their biggest problem is mark going rogue. Investors have no control over him and he’s been continuously signaling over the last year that he has no interest in listening to them. The layoffs were a token that showed he hadn’t totally turned his back. A bit of a unique situation.

It's not an economic trick. If my employer weren't paying for offices they wouldn't be plowing the rest of that on top of my salary. Indeed it's the opposite; fully remote workers make less.
Why do you think there is a "correct" answer to the prompt? And where did I fail to understand the task?

Very useful program.

We had an old Tadiran phone system, and it was losing time. Randomly through the day it would lose anywhere from five minutes to two hours.

Of course, the system wasn't under maintenance any longer, and the phone place wanted $4,000 for a new motherboard (the crystal was bad so the clock was wrong, or so they said). Considering everything else worked fine, we just manually set the clock here and there.

And then I found AHK, and wrote a quick script that logged into the phone software, entered the correct time, and saved it to the system. Set that to run every hour and ever heard anyone complain about it again.
The human body is near 37C / 99F and ambient room temperature is typically kept near 22 C / 70 F. Humans are constantly shedding skin dust, which due to their higher temperature are always floating around rooms. Additionally, people are constantly spreading tiny aerosolized particles from their lungs, even without coughing, simply by talking and breathing. For example:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abd9149

"Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses" (2021) Science

> "Advances in aerosol measurement techniques, such as aerodynamic and scanning mobility particle sizing, have shown that the majority of exhaled aerosols are smaller than 5 μm, and a large fraction are <1 μm for most respiratory activities, including those produced during breathing, talking, and coughing."

Such droplets can likely pass through cloth masks with little difficulty, and 6 feet of distance is probably irrelevant. The only thing that prevents transmission and infection between nearby people is containment efforts such as BSL-3/4 laboratory precautions and even there, accidental transmission has been documented.

Without highly strict quarantine and isolation protocols, we're really all just swimming in the same petri dish when it comes to respiratory transmission.
Presumably if the trade secret is so important that the employee must absolutely not compete, then it is worth paying out salary and benefits during said noncompete.
One simple, but incredible thing that now can be done, and six months ago was not really as easy to do as it is now, it is just run your LLM, and start generating new content. You can now use your LLM to generate the data you need to train bigger, better models.

This is the key for future better LLM, you can generate ashtoningly amounts of data, as fast as your pipeline can generate the text and feed it to the training,

You could even automatically curate data somehow (using experts systems, manually fed by humans, double checking "facts" and "known knowledge" from garbage), and ultimately you'll be using the same original AI to generate a better AI, then you iterate. At each cycle, the original LLM becames better.

And you won't even need Internet at some point, you just have to make relatively sure the first iterations are feeding the LLM with relatively "good" data. It is not necessary that the data, the text, be true, it just needs to resemble what you'd have found in the open internet, maybe one good comment, and 40 other comments with somehow flawed data.

How fast can you do this? We're probably about to see it. How better do you think a LLM can get by increasing the available data for training them? And if you could accurately "summarize" the text, the data somehow - using LLMs or other systems - then, how faster could you train a newer, better LLM?

Just by decreasing by little magnitudes the amount of text for training without losing the significance of the information to be encoded in the LLM, you'll probably be able to get the training way faster than before.

And what happens if you can somehow "stack" several LLMs? re-feeding one output to the next LLM to make it process it, several LLMs running ones behind others, the first ones the "cheaper", then the "expensive", a lot more powerful. And use that stack to produce even "deeper" text, encoding even more information in simpler, faster to process, text.

And if you could somehow encode text in a WAY simpler representation format? Using that format to train those advanced LLMs (you'd probably then need a "translator LLM" to re-compose the simplified text to actual readable by human text).

You think this is scifi? nope, just use ol' good stenography, and you're good. Yes, using a representation format as stenography would required advanced LLM capable of generating complex original never seen images from text, fully capable translate text to images and images to text..wait we already have those...

Some amazing stuff is coming, if the makers care to make those advances public information.

Harvard CS197 AI Research Experiences
There's a bunch that run very well on Android: Twitter, Instagram, Uber, Lyft, even TikTok all have very good PWAs.

TikTok aggressively funnels you into the native app for various business reasons, but the experience is well polished if they'd let you use it all the time.

Safari (really that iOS won't let you pick a different browser) has definitely been holding back the growth of PWAs though. Without decent install to home screen support (apple doesn't implement install banners for web), no push notifications, many of the native API integrations missing, it's hard to go too far down the web path before the business folks want the native app for growth angles. It's a lot more about making money than the better UX that can be had with native.
It's crazy to think but people do drink the kool-aid, despite history.
> fire trucks

Would be excellent EVs. They have super low millage and you'd not have to worry about things like stagnant fuel.

> ambulances

Generally low mileage vehicles, no idea why you'd not be able to use them as EVs.

> tow trucks

Perhaps the only one that would be bad given the amount of power required to tow a vehicle.

> power company trucks

Excellent option for EVs because they almost never haul equipment and they are always working on electrical things.

> that have to be able to function for weeks at a time in a grid down situation.

Generators are a thing that pretty much every one of these services will have. Because you can't have a fire station, EMT dispatch, etc go dark because of a grid down situation.

And, consider this when thinking of a "grid down" situation. How do you pump fuel if the grid is down?

There are few places where EVs are bad fits. The main ones are airplanes and ships where getting power is hard and the power density needs to be high.

For everything semi-truck and smaller, batteries have a high enough capacity to service today.

I have interviewed with Amazon several times. Every time I don’t make it through because I realized the people in many of the roles were (a) not the best people (b) I seemed to know way more than many of them about their domain (c) they kept trying to offer me horizontal transfer (d) they wanted to pay me less than I know I am worth.

My impression is Amazon is a factory tuned to hire and churn a sort of middle of the road white collar worker with no creativity who can sort of plug into some pre designed module and churn away and be yelled at to “go faster.”

Some of the people I met at Amazon we’re ultra talented but all the ones I ever interviewed with seemed like total morons.

I never understood why. Maybe I just interviewed with the wrong teams
I think you are missing the point. People are not skinny because they "intellectually" know something. Nor are people fat because they are stupid, sometimes sure, but the societal trend towards obesity is not caused by ignorance. Read the article.
Companies, especially tech companies, invest in their future. Sometimes those bets don’t pay off, sometimes it’s because of external factors. That doesn’t mean those were bad bets necessarily, they just got unlucky. It does mean investors want them to move on to something else though, even if the company as a whole isn’t in a crisis.
Its doesnt seem realistic to say this as if it must always be true.

As others have pointed out - to get the same quality of service you'd probably need extra trucks stored somewhere in NYC (also expensive) so that there's no downtime in coverage. Are we really supposed to believe they are currently 50% the lifelong cost of ICE vehicles?

Of course they do, it’ll just take at least a day for the money to arrive.
You don't need more drivers, just more trucks.

A driver brings a truck to a charge location, grabs a truck that's been charging. Easy peasy.

There's no reason to have drivers wait for the trucks to fully charge.
There are multiple cash desks in Kiev processing millions worth of transactions every day. You can easily send 100k from anywhere in the world and have it cashed out within the hour.

Ukraine runs on USD, very few “serious” transactions occur in UAH. All businesses accept USD, from kiosks to restaurants to car dealerships.
There is absolutely no evidence that story ever happened. I genuinely believe the authors' sources made it up.
> Rolling any of that back is likely to replace obesity with malnutrition

Based on what evidence? There are plenty of countries where people are not suffering from malnutrition and yet obesity rates are low compared to the U.S.

Financially, it's in their best interest to focus their resources on native apps.

>web tech is still vastly inferior to what you can do with native apps.
>there are also lots of valid technical reasons why platforms would prefer native apps to web apps.

Unless we start fixing this, then it will never get better.

Generally I don't like that Apple/Google are gatekeepers. If I want to create another fart-app and charge for it, why should Apple say no. If I don't want to use their web api for my own browser, why can't I?

Remember for this privilege I get charged a percentage. Meh.

The federation is not like email(besides in the technical details).

It is like a forum, it is software for mostly public/semi private posts.

The email equivalent would be a mailing list, and mailing lists have moderation.

I joined my Mastodon instance, just as I would join a mailing list, for the community and moderation. When I ran my own instance, I associated with instances with similar policies.

Now, I gave you a real response, and I would appreciate a response from you that is more than yelling out a logical fallacy like a grade schooler.
Why? Plenty of young and healthy people died of COVID. Only some vaccines are mRNA types, and, in the USA anyway, all vaccines went through the same testing process as any other medication, they simply sped the process up by layering some of the steps - all that means is that rather than wait to see if one study passes before doing the next one (save money or whatever), they just overlapped them. Even for MRNA vaccines, that's 2 decade old tech.

Were you also worried about cold vaccines?
