It's not that easy. Access to enough compute is one thing. However, you also need a proper dataset (beyond Common Crawl and Wikipedia), excellent research expertise and engineering capabilities. So even if you throw money or free credits for cloud compute out there it will not be enough. We've seen this happen with EleutherAI who were not capable of reaching their initial target of "replicating" GPT-3 and could only deliver the GPT-NeoX 20B model despite all the free compute etc.
I would say they wanted to follow the original formula way too closely, hence all the stuff that actually subverted expectations for the worse.

I’m just a sideliner with popcorn, but don’t they use Bitcoin as a currency? So it seems like in that context, they swapped some of their currency (fiat) for their other currency (Bitcoin), which subsequently lost 60% of its value.
Presumably the thought process is something along the lines of "No one is going to look at this, only count the liquid stuff and make the very obvious point we were underwater even at the peak of the market".
> Crypto is barely a blip in the grand scheme and I don't see how it differs from, say, gambling.

Gambling is also, almost always, a negative for society. It's why it's so heavily regulated.
The same free market that gave us poisoned meat, is why we have regulations. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle]

It's either bad bad regulations or... capitalism's evil drive for profit over life. So it costs more here where we don't have nationalized healthcare than anywhere else, and we don't live as long. Hmm...
That sounds similar to the UK system in that working days are mon - fri and weekend bankholidays roll over into the week (eg If Christmas Day is on a Sunday, Monday is a bank holiday). Compared to France where I work where Saturday can be counted as a work day (even if it isn't usually worked) and bankholidays that fall during the weekend aren't rolled over. In 2022 in the UK you could have taken 3 days and been off 25 Dec - 02 Jan whereas in France it would have required taking a full 7 days off.
I live in an apartment in a UK 1850s house, it just has solid exterior walls.

I think there are now heat pumps that are a similar size to a gas combi boiler and are designed to be inside a building, not a big box outside.
With python you could choose to use Pypy and make it work for your system - that might speed things up.

Alternatively, you could use smoketests. In my last largish project we grouped the tests into a short run and long run group. This allowed us to develop code and do a set of short tests in a fairly quick cycle and then before merging to the master branch we would do more comprehensive tests or let the CI system do it.

FWIW I got more joy from python by a long way but go isn't that awful except when you're trying to fork a github module to make it do something different.
I agree that [dishonest] lawyers will twist your words against you.

But I disagree with your advice to "stop talking". We need everyone to keep talking. We need to change the justice system. It needs to be more transparent, more honest, better at quickly getting to the truth.

I don't necessarily know what the solutions are, but I am going through a court case Pro Se right now and have seen first hand what a cess pool it has become, and it makes me sad for our country, and we need to start fixing it.

Keep talking SBF.
Yeah, but who uses those?
>Agencies like the FAA are notoriously risk adverse. Basically the motivations of most employees seems like, "if I mess up once, I get fired

Weird, my impression was federal employment is the opposite: mess up as much as you want and you’ll be retrained and reassigned.

Or a that only in contexts like harassment or drug use?
Syndication
Top-level statements are actually my single biggest beef with .NET 6 and 7, specifically because Microsoft decided to make them the default for any new console apps. And they didn't even add a flag for reverting to the old behavior until .NET 7, their guides for .NET 6 if you actually wanted a proper Program.cs file were literally "Generate is with .NET 5 and then up the target framework to .NET 6." This broke over a decades worth of guides/tutorials for beginners, right around the time I was trying to help a younger relative learn to code.
not surprising. now that the covid related spike is far enough in the past I expect inflation to be down drastically since the throttle that was low rates is no longer being pressed on. question is, will the Fed stop raising rates soon enough?
I have both a larger return air unit which provides hot water for taps and radiators, and a smaller pump/AC on the wall which doesn't need to work at all in winter, but is useful for providing AC on the hottest days. The AC style pump heats OK down to very cold temperatures but I'm not sure what the efficiency is at -20, probably not great.

A return air heat pump has no problem with cold temperatures because its not pulling heat from outside air, it's pulling heat from warm air that's sucked from the air about to be ventilated out of the house (what's drawn from vents in bathrooms and kitchens). So it cools it from say 20 to 0 deg and exhausts it on the roof, transferring that heat to the hot water system both for radiators/heated floors and tap water. This is similar to how a ground-heat pump works too. It also doesn't need to worry about freezing temps because the ground doesn't get that cold, especially with a deep enough hole.

Those two forms (return heat and ground heat, are probably 95% of the heating solution for single family homes in my Swedish suburb). Very few would heat a home with either anything combustible OR with an outside air unit. Many have them, but mostly like I do as a complement or summer AC.

I'd not recommend an outside-air heat pump for heating anywhere where it's regularly very cold. Much better to just set up a proper heat pump and connect it to a water based radiator system. You need to have some kind of ventilation in the house so no point wasting that heat by blowing hot air out the roof.
Not at all, I'm in Western Australia and we've already agreed to build a commercial heavy rare earths (HRE) separation facility in Texas for the US DoD [1].

This is ideal, as central north americans that seek the upside of acres of thin film TV sets and excess consumption also get the toxic waste that comes with it while no longer having to complain about the Chinese having all the rare earths and associated waste.

I like that a lot better than having to tell Jill [2] that a bunch of people from across the planet want to fart and shit in her back yard (as you proposed).

Poor woman has seen her family through enough already.

I'm going to stop now but I hope I've made my point. I've watched many of the above. I've heard about most of the above.

Your tone is pretty snarky so I'm not sure if it's worth responding but here is a list of TV shows, all within the last decade, that I believe are exceptional and not limited to "just the Sopranos":

* Chernobyl

* Rick and Morty

* True Detective

* Fargo

* Severance

* 1883

* Mindhunter

* Westworld

* The Knick

* The Peripheral

* Succession

* Years and Years

* Orange is the New Black

* Halt and Catch Fire

* Insecure

* Watchmen

* Atlanta

This is only from 10 minutes of searching. You'll note that many of them are produced, directed, written and star high profile artists. The subject matter that they deal with can be done at a pace and care that's impossible to do with a 2-3 hour movie. The quality of the above series or mini-series was virtually non existent, maybe with some very few exceptions, before 2000 and only began to pick up pace in 2000 to 2010.

Inflation Slows to 6.5%
Don't take offence, but reading this it sounds like you're about half of the problem ;)

Your team either needs to better separate areas of work, so that you don't step on each other's feet all the time and each coder has a bit more freedom of how to solve problems, or you need to sit down and agree on a number of fundamental coding style and 'architecture' rules that everybody needs to follow.

Apart from the organisational and trust issues (which I think are the main problem here), tools like clang tidy, clang format, ASAN, UBSAN, TSAN, a CI pipeline and automated profiling/benchmarking can help to bring in some more 'objectivity' into discussions.
We all hate XML.

We equally hate all replacements (as a config language) after it. At least XML stayed around long enough to have decent tooling.
I've received COVID vaccinations at Walgreens, but nothing else you'd call health care. I would imagine that if the industry limited itself to filling prescriptions (though prescribed by whom?) and selling aspirin etc., it could be very simple, efficient, and affordable.
Eh, definitely there's some generational round robin going on. And the "amsterdam problem" in YML is just insanity. But you got to admit, XML has some very low level intrinsic problems

* Schemas violate underlying XML rules all the time, and due to variance in XML parsers, it gets a pass but only on specific configurations. There's no one Holy XML Parser. Leading whitespace in attributes? Sure, why not?! Whitespace sensitive element order? Ooh yeah, lots of it! But try and feed it to libxml and the whole thing collapses - without error handling, mind you, but that's not XML's fault.

* Whitespace agnostic means diffs and merges are element aware, and it's nigh-impossible to estimate the upper compute limit of an element aware diff

* There is NO OFFICIAL WHITESPACE SPEC - so if you try and fix it with normalization and lines, it's going to be different everywhere you go. So you're forced to switch on element aware diff / merge in your VCS, which is a pretty big change, and it's one you have to sell other departments on.

* XML breaking 1NF, which, aka means that XML can have XML inside of XML infinite recursion when playing data format = which breaks so very very many things . . it's actually going against the whole concept of a data hierarchy, which is built in to XML at a low level.

* Sort of riding on that, in order to parse XML you have to eat it element by element, and there's no way to tell when an element is going to end or of it recurses N levels. This makes it computationally expensive. The CAD STEP format has some of this disease - it has to be loaded in its entirety to parse, which can be holy hell with a TB file.

* Yeah sure, namespace hell. No one really figured out a way to fix it. S1000D (XML spec) to this day just denies that XML namespaces ever existed, and I can't really fault their WG for doing that. I can fault them for so many other things, but not that.
Does establishing impaired judgement due to ADHD meds require that he demonstrate continued impaired judgement regarding the specifics of the case? Can’t he just buy every old GameCube game that comes to mind on eBay and live bet the Las Vegas Raiders like the rest of us? “My client can’t possibly be guilty. He spent $80 dollars on a complete in box copy of Luigi’s Mansion and didn’t play past the first boss.”
* Food at home +0.2%, smallest since March 2021

* Fuel oil -16.6%, biggest decline since February 1990

Seems important to point out to anyone reading your comment
America used to be a country that understood production. Today, America has become a has-been country mired in divisive politics and systematic enrichment of vested interests.

The solution is simple guys.

1. Produce unlimited number of doctors, nurses, insurance companies, drugs. Flood the market with healthcare practitioners.

2. Remove all unnecessary paperwork and regulations. Let doctors start private practices like a startup. Let them charge a fee without insurance. Let insurance compete with prices on the street.

Another way to think about this is, use the dentist model for doctors.

I know 50% of the population will comment about "fraud" and "eligibility". But guess where we are with all the "fraud protection" today.
Second Earth-Sized World Found in System's Habitable Zone
The LG 43UN700-B was a good choice for me and I would like 2 more for my workstation. Currently I have that with four 22" FHD monitors all connected via USB adapters to a laptop from 2014. Being ADHD and running 8 screens for my (currently) freelance web development work is great as it allows me to stay focused on things and be efficient with my time.

That said, I am in need of an upgraded computer...

Edit: I forgot to mention that it can be split up to 4 separate FHD screens like I currently have it (for easy window snapping), with 4 separate inputs if you want.
Haiti has a unique humanitarian history going back to being the first successful slave revolt and subsequently isolated economically by France and her friends namely USA ... with this comes no major trading partners and poverty ... no blog post on Haiti should leave out this origin story of their misery going back 3 centuries

Considering that most movie production is currently financed by hedge funds and private equity shops, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
The Fed can't lower rates if only because it needs to maintain its credibility. The financial press has been cranking out opinion pieces disguised as serious analysis nonstop in an attempt to wish a change of monetary policy into being. If the Fed backs down anytime soon, it could decrease the effectiveness of future increases. The next time the Fed raises rates, consumers, asset holders and businesses can just tell themselves that this increase will be brief and the Fed will soon lower rates. The Fed is engaged in a game of psychological brinkmanship with asset holders and businesses who think they can ride this out. Only when the latter capitulate - by selling houses for lower prices for example - can the Fed begin to consider lowering rates. The Fed needs to hammer home the message that you can't fight the Fed.
Honestly it feels like a car is the perfect murder weapon, if you want to kill someone you can ran over that person, especially if that person is on a bike, and you will get a reduced sentence compared to if you did that with what is normally considered a weapon ( knife, gun, ... )

I think if you endanger someone’s life with anything, be it a car, motorcycle, knife, gun, hands; you should always get the same sentence
This is interesting, but what is really missing from the non-graphical (and non CSS/JS/WASM) web is a good search engine. Or, if there is one that returns only these kinds of results, I don't know it.
IMO they undersold their valuation. Also not exactly the best point in time to raise. Still happy for them, great product.
And your objection to that conclusion is? The model is using real historical weather data. Without hydrogen, covering seasonality and rare prolonged dark/calm periods could become very expensive.
Maybe the better question to ask is how bad would it be if they *weren't* so risk-averse.
I call them complexifiers... because that's their habitual response to problems. I prefer to hire simplifiers (within reason).

Some complexifiers are not nearly as smart as they seem - they can often have tunnel vision due to their brilliance in specific domains, and miss the big picture. Which puts them in the "dumb and gets things done" quadrant: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2010/12/27/dumb-and-gets-thin...
There are other knock-on effects....avian flu, weird hiccups in the supply chain. I'm curious to see how this will affect day to day stuff as so many thing I run into just get filed under 'the times we live in'.
This is one of the critical problems for heat pumps being a silver bullet for climates that are both hot and cold. You buy them for AC but they dont work for heating due to the physical location or alternatively you need another heat pump that is cost ineffective. That and it gets quite expensive to heat in cold weather.
Can't they just switch to all exponential numbers (no mantissa)? There's plenty of precedent in image processing where the pixel values are usually supposed to be exponentiated by gamma factor before doing any linear operations.
Not GP but heres what I think they meant.

In the old days you could look at at raw non-rendered HTML and it would be so simple that you can render it in your head.

With the advent of more sophisticated web frameworks like the one mentioned, that’s no longer the case. The site consists of MBs of scripts and templates that take a gigawatt to render.
I knew keeping all my old dHTML scripts from the 00s would pay off eventually!
FAA Notam Statement
Come on, that was a joke. It's literally two lines below the actual quote in the base comment.
This is common enough in financial institutions, although the purpose is less employee wellbeing and more that cutting people off from company systems for a while is a good way to uncover fraud.
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. Raw compute is probably the cheapest/easiest part of this problem.
I think it is scrambled nonsense but it's scrambled in a way that still makes it look like a plausible sample. I remember watching a video of Hinton saying that just using white noise or similarly randomized data does not work but I'm now forgetting why.
I didn't know these existed, until I read your reply. Thanks - looks interesting, I will have to investigate further.

First, I've done some research into alternatives, but my primary motivation was to prove you can replace Ansible with a weekend hack that closely follows the UNIX philosophy. Here I am 6 years later still using it everyday in production, so I guess I was right.

Second, dsh looks a bit antiquated - defaulting to rsh? Granted I have very little experience with commercial Unices (which seem to be the primary use case there), but... rsh?
Recent discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34215665.
The fact that you have to use "likely" means it's just a guess and no longer a sharp "line in the sand" as I originally described. Languages that operate on large data structures (like Julia and R) may have a similar design to using higher-order/callback functions like qsort everywhere, but those hotspots will always be in the language/standard library even when programs are compiled. I just don't think it's a reliable enough metric for this distinction.
YoY is comparing Jan 2021 to Jan 2022. What’s the reset?
there were crypto projects like that, but I don't think any survived until today
>The data, when paired with prior months’ lower-than-expected readings, point to more consistent signs that inflation is easing and may pave the way for the Fed to downshift to a quarter-point hike at their next meeting ending Feb. 1.

I hope not. There's an absurd amount of dumb money floating around, and YoY inflation is still at 6.5%. Higher interest rates are going to force companies and investors to actually post profits instead of functioning as giant leeches on the economy.
Even beyond that I would worry about the decision making at the top that… they thought that was a good idea and kept at it.

At that point a lot of potentially absurd things could be in play.
Those are "reserves" means proven deposits. There's generally no point of searching for more if you have proven deposits for decades ahead.

That's why all the early predictions for peak oil have failed, the proponents assumed "proven oil reserves" are all that's left, while we still continue to search and find more. US ratio of "proven reserves" to production is stable for around 100 years.
I think “attempted manslaughter” is just “reckless endangerment” or similar. Manslaughter means without intent; you can’t very well attempt to do something without intent.

Exactly why I bought a Neato Botvac that uses just lidar to find its way around rather than a webcam pointing upwards.

Easily one of my fave purchases of the past 10 years, would replace in a heartbeat if it broke.
I think this argument against VR stems from a misunderstanding of what VR is competing with or excelling at. VR is not your mobile phone. Repeat it with me, VR is not your mobile phone! You will not play bejewelled on the train in VR, you will not check your email while waiting for the kettle in VR, you will not doom scroll Twitter when you're lying in bed in VR. Those things, as you correctly identified, belong to the realm of AR. VR is not AR, they are two completely different types of technology, markets, use cases, etc.

The V in VR is there for a reason, the virtualization of experience is the core principle. The person you are replying to is using it to virtualize Cricket. It is replacing a real Cricket game with a virtual one. This has value because, I'm guessing, they haven't been able to play Cricket for a long time due to some set of constraints in their life. VR makes this former pastime available to them again because they don't have to leave their home, they don't need to buy or rent equipment (other than the headset and game), they don't need to find a local group, they don't need to schedule their time around a set date. All they have to do is put the headset on and jump in a match. Think hard about these differences. Ask yourself, what does it remind you of? Where has this happened before?
I guess you could leave out all the hardware aspects of it - that's why I think it's not a great question myself, just too wide.
>Meta CTO told employees higher headcount resulted in 'untenable' slow movement

If only somebody had read the Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks (RIP) then maybe they would have realised they had to slim it down a bit.
I've been wondering about this too. To what extent are people maybe just using laptops with those GPU adapter boxes? Etc.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think it's unfortunate that changesets are tied to the views in Phoenix. It's major leakage of ecto and the inner domain at best and at worst it intertwines various concerns - validation and what's changing. The naming of it gives that design choice away. It it didn't it would probably have a name with "validation" in it somewhere. I'd much rather have domain structs implement a protocol. Maybe that's possible I haven't really looked into it.

However, what you say about having different changesets for validation seems to make a ton of sense to me and has given me some ideas. Thanks.
> Heat wise the wood stove is much nicer. I can’t quantify why, but the quality of heating feels completely different and I’d much rather use it.

Radiant heat, it reminds us the bonfires, which kept bad things away. I also like my fireplace much more than more convenient to handle wood pellet furnace in my basement, but warm floors are nice too.
I'm just giving my personal experience. Productivity and my overall wellbeing really got better when I got rid of developers that try to write "smart" code.
