The fact that Elon has disbanded the accessibility team at twitter probably already leads them into hot water related to this (It is not uncommon for orgs like twitter to be bound by multiple long term settlements related to accessibility suits that each have obligations of certain deliverables in this area.

If your friend truly does have issues navigating the site perhaps she may want to look to a legal remedy -- from all appearances that is really the only knob that seems to have any impact on Musk.
I think the idea of polite, peaceful hunter/gatherer/agri villages were probably the exception rather than the rule. It seems like once humans get out of an extended family/friends circle of say 30-40 people they become less and less peaceful and altruistic. I'm sure there are exceptions but I think 90% of them are gonna start seeing other cliques as competition rather than "my fellow peaceful human". Especially as resources become limited. There's a reason why in zombie apocalypse scenarios other humans are as dangerous as any zombie.
If you say you support PCs, and your support for the most common configurations is lacking, then it's your problem.

If I owe the bank $1000, it's my problem. If I owe the bank $1,000,000,000, then it's their problem.

Apple is a terrible example to use. Apple does not play that game, it's very clear going in that you're buying more of an appliance. Also, that $6000+ desktop is literally the last of their lineup on Intel and is clearly on its way out - it will probably be replaced by something without PCIe. Not saying if that's good or bad, just that it's Apple. Personally, I think it's quite bad, though...
OpenAI have actually asked this question in a survey (not sure if still live), with respondees being incentivised to be on the premium beta. I'd pay $50-$100 pcm per seat for it
Depends on the temperature of the prompt model. Getting random results with each generation is a feature of GPT.

Determinism still requires planning.

I guess that $2400 M1 machine is a 14 inch machine with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD.

Looking at https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac/1tb-2021-14-inch-..., Apple sells that machine refurbished, for $1929.

So, the question is whether it is reasonable that Apple would take about $1000 for refurbishing + margin.

I think one could answer that question with yes because Apple is Apple and spends more time and money on refurbishing than your average second-hand seller.

They wipe the disk, install the latest OS, take the machine apart to clean it, if needed replace parts (and that’s likely needed. People with machines in pristine condition likely will get more for their machine than Apple pays elsewhere), put it through their regular testing process and put it in a new box.

Few of that will be automated, so it easily could cost a couple of hundred dollars (complete guess). They also will want a reasonable margin, which, for Apple, will easily be in the 20% range.

Also, the new M2 machine with the same size screen, RAM and SSD costs about the same as the M1 one cost a year ago. For about 25% more than that refurbished machine, you can buy a new one that’s about that amount faster.

That likely makes reselling the M1 machines at that price harder.
That settles it then. They truly have lost their edge.
Is there a specific reason you think it won’t be Mastodon?
In theory, socialism is when the working class redistributes the ownership class's assets.

In practice, socialism is a power grab where populist leaders redistribute the ownership classes' assets to themselves.
In case of Xfinity I actually pay additional $30 a month not to worry about the data caps. But my guess other providers might not have this option.

That's what I had to do when I was on Comcast. For my cell phone I set a soft/hard limit based on my plan but I never use more than 110MB/mo so I doubt I will hit it.

I've since moved to a place that has fiber and does not care how much bandwidth I use. Some of their employees brag about being the top data hogs so I know they do keep track of it but they said they have never limited anyone. So I suppose that is how I dealt with it, I moved.
I'm not sure where that concept is communicated in the post?

Anyway, I'm quite sure that that's not the purpose of a union. The purpose of a union is to represent workers interest in order to make sure that workers have fair working conditions. Although in some cases (e.g. police unions in some nations) it has drifted quite far away form that rather simple purpose.
Nuclear engineer here. That's not quite how it all works.

Solid vs. liquid fuel is not tied directly to reactivity stability, as quantified in the power coefficient of reactivity. If it goes up in power, you want the chain reaction to naturally go down.

In solid fueled reactors, this is usually accomplished via the moderator. If the moderator temperature goes up, it reduced in density, thereby reducing the overall neutron moderation in the core. Thus, fewer neutrons make it to to the energy range that causes fission. Thus, reactivity goes down and the reaction stops. This is inherently stable, just like fuel density in a fluid fuel reactor going down and reducing the overall fission rate.

LFTRs are pre-melted. You melt 100% of the core and then bring it critical. That's a lot of pretty mobile fission products!

As for the melt plug, that's also a false solution. Given that achieving subcriticality is trivial in modern solid and fluid fuel reactors, the challenge in an accident is afterglow heat removal. As you may know, the plants at Fukushima had all rods in and were fully subcritical an hour before the tsunami hit). But when they lost afterglow heat removal, it still melted some containment barriers. Same can happen with fluid fuel, regardless of whether or not you've moved it from one tank to another.

Fluid fuel is not the panacea many people want to think it is.

Passive afterglow heat removal is the thing that lets reactors of any fuel form be safer than today's typical reactors, which generally require backup power to run the cooling systems. If you use certain molten salt, liquid sodium metal, liquid lead metal, etc. cooling configurations you can achieve indefinite heat removal without any external power. That reduces core damage frequencies by about 100x from modern large LWRs. Again, regardless of fuel form.

That said, 100x safer than how safe current nuclear is is kind of just playing with very small numbers. Fossil and biofuel combustion kills 8 million per year from particulate emissions, according to the WHO, and also cause climate change. So we should just be building hundreds of regular large water cooled reactors now and then switch over to fancier cooling ones later, and also breeders that are ~infinitely sustainable for the long term.
If you can make a 5% return on investment and borrow money at 0% interest than you're going to invest a lot.

As the interest rate approaches 5% your willingness to invest falls.

Tech runs wild on low interest rates because the return potential is so high. It falters on high interest rates because the risk is high.
I hope tweetdeck sticks around. I know it's been officialized, but it has been on life support and doesn't support many of the "excellent features" that the mainsite wants you to "experience".
Thanks for laying out the plan. I was trying to understand the cost of each of these steps below and started wondering about the following:

> rough steps:

> 1. collect a very large dataset, see: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/6Fpvch8RR29qLEWNH/chinchilla... . scrape, de-duplicate, clean, wrangle. this is a lot of work regardless of $.

Pile seemed quite clean and manageable to me (I was able to preprocess it ~8 hours for a simple task on consumer grade hardware). Is Pile clean and rich enough for LLM training too ?

> 2. get on a call with the sales teams of major cloud providers to procure a few thousands GPUs and enter into too long contracts.

It seems like the standard instructGPT model itself is based on a 1 billion param GPT model. Wouldn't that fit on a 24GB RTX 3090 ? Might take longer, maybe not enough opportunity for hyper-parameter search, but still possible right ? Or is hyper-parameter search on a thousand machines in parallel the real magic sauce here ?

> 3. "pretrain" a GPT. one common way to do this atm is to create your own exotic fork of MegatronLM+DeepSpeed. go through training hell, learn all about every possible NCCL error message, see the OPT logbook as good reference: https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq/blob/main/projec...

Sounds like a good opportunity to learn. No pain, no gain :-)

> 4. follow the 3-step recipe of https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/ to finetune the model to be an actual assistant instead of just "document completor", which otherwise happily e.g. responds to questions with more questions. Also e.g. see OPT-IML https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12017 , or BLOOMZ https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.01786 to get a sense of the work involved here.

Maybe somebody would open source the equivalent datasets for this soon ? Otherwise the data collection seems prohibitively expensive for somebody trying to do this for fun: contract expert annotators, train them, annotate/reannotate for months ?
Evidence is only as trustworthy as its chain of custody. In this case the chain of custody flows through 2 convicted thieves who stole the goods to an inveterate liar who financed the crime. If it said water made things wet I'd have to check.
Everyone is talking about mobile clients, but what about social media companies and businesses that integrated Twitter into their CRMs? At the very least I know businesses that had Twitter directly into their Salesforce, SAP Cloud Integration, and even Teams via Power Automate.

That's bad for society because living in NYC uses less real resources (especially energy) and is much less carbon intensive than living in a suburb. The only reason it's more expensive is they're bad at governing themselves.
Software engineering, tools, and practices nowadays seems more concerned with enabling higher headcounts than it does enabling existing members to work effectively.

When I had my wisdom teeth removed I received a legal prescription for opiates and had the prescription filled and took possession of them. Thankfully I was able to tough it out with just NSAIDS and never took them.

Was I an opiate user? If I just keep the script but never fill it am I more an opiate user than the guy on the street with a little baggy of white powder? People seek out and obtain scripts for stuff they never use, all the time.
"10x" is just the wrong paradigm to explain the phenomenon. The person is not working at a throughput ten times higher than another person. It's more of an exponent that compounds over time. The best tech people can save a rapidly growing firm dozens of hires (or more) over time through better architecture, documentation, processes, communication strategy, etc. There's no way to suss this out entirely from an interview, but a smart interviewer can certainly get an idea if they ask the right questions.
I don't think you're reading the article as-written.

It'd be nice to see some sources for the quoted pamphlets, but if we assume that they are actual quotes from primary source material, it's quite telling.

The article does get a lot wrong, e.g. conflating feudalism with modern industrialized capitalism (hunting was been controlled by central political authorities for centuries before the industrial revolution).

But there's also a good point being made, that breaking up communal economic systems can be used as a tool of subjugation and control. There's nothing in here about self-sufficiency or subsistence per se.

>Stolen goods that just happened to be a diary in which the daughter of the current US president claims he took inappropriate showers with her when she was a child.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ashley-biden-diary-afraid/

Edit: I'll also highlight that I'm trying to find any verifiable proof of this claim via other sources and am coming up empty-handed. Tucker Carlson said it on FOX, and Daily Mail repeated his own report, but at no point is the page of the diary that contains that content ever actually displayed - it's literally just "Tucker Carlson said so", and I think that any reasonable person on either side of the political spectrum would know enough about Carlson to know that you can't just take him at his word with something like that. There does not seem to be verifiable proof of the existence of what you're referring to. Do you have something a bit more concrete to support your claim?
I don't think so, at least for (mobile) clients, but yes for server-side integrations.
Didn't even know GitHub had svn support... it's been about a decade since I've even had to interact with a subversion repo professionally also.

I could still find my way around the house just able to see based on what is I suppose a noise floor of ambient temperature.

The flaw with that approach to language development is that there's no limiting factor.

Can you imagine a survey where everyone says they're satisfied with the language as-is? Of course not. That's statistically impossible. Even if 99% of the needs of developers are satisfied by a language, people are going to eventually answer that they'd like something that the language doesn't have, and that's always the case.

Let's say JavaScript implemented nearly every single language feature that's ever been invented. That is except the goto statement. Upon being surveyed on what they think is currently missing from JavaScript, a significant number of developers will have to respond with goto. Does that mean JavaScript is actually "missing" goto and that it was a mistake that it was never implemented in the first place? Of course not.
We try to do most of the heavy lifting in Rust in the backend and we only lazy load what is needed in the frontend. We found this is a good compromise that allows us to move faster on a multiplatform UI while not consuming too much resources. The backend will run on any cheap VPS perfectly well.
I think the point about pebble-bed designs is that the density of reactive material in the pebbles is low enough that without external control it maintains a moderate temperature. low enough to not cause a meltdown under any circumstances
I also do not think Musk understands just who the primary userbase on many of these 3rd party apps were -- many of those pesky advertisers/brands that he seems to be both courting and at war with exclusively use api apps for tracking posting/responding and integrations.

Graph DB == connect the dots. Relational DB == join the dots. :-)

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] to live query all your cloud resources with SQL (via Postgres FDWs). It includes a dashboards as code layer written in HCL + SQL. We recently added support for relationship graphs & visualizations with hundreds of open source dashboards focused on cybersecurity [3].

In our experience, the hard part of these graphs was understanding which relationships / vectors are important to highlight and making them simple enough to browse in that way.

Yes! I'm one of the founders!

I think of the analytics world as split into two camps: self-service (exposing data without interpretation) and custom analyses (exposing data with interpretation).

Hyperquery is solidly in the "custom analyses" camp. We have visualization capabilities as well, but we're best for questions that can't be directly answered with Looker. Situations where you need to do custom analyses imbued with rich interpretation. Does that make sense?
DDG just uses Bing though, it’s bad but Bing was never particularly good.
2 adults and 1 child, with me working from home as a software dev. We tend to hit a few hundred GB (under 500, typically), but I don't think we've ever hit a terabyte.

Most of our media is still 1080p and lower, but all three of us stream a few hours a day, often separately. I've got a modern gaming PC and buy a few games a year. Work often has an hour or two of meetings, but that hasn't ever seemed like it takes a lot of bandwidth. Most of my work in the past few years has been on AWS, and uploads are mostly just new builds of the binary pushed into a cloud VM. 3 computers, a tablet, and 2 phones, updating maybe 1-2 times a month ends up being a few 10s of GB.

Then again, we haven't had data limits in the past couple places I've lived either, so I don't track things super closely.

There is only one thing about subversion I miss when using git -- the deletion of branches (which were, admittedly, just directories in a folder called branches) was version controlled, so you could recover deleted branches.

I think there's a few factors that contribute to there not being much political attention on gonorrhea treatment and prevention in the US.

1) Only about 0.2% of the US population contracts gonorrhea annually [0]

2) Many people see gonorrhea as a consequence of risky sex, which then butts up against religious beliefs and the like. The Religious Right would not generally be in favor of anything that makes sex less dangerous, and it would almost certainly become a culture war issue.

3) Until pretty recently, gonorrhea was not that big a deal because we had multiple antibiotics that worked against it. Public perception has not yet caught up with the science, thus there's not that many people clamoring for action.

> Having nothing to do at work is its own form of torture. If you have to be available and connected, or much worse - physically in the office, for the full normal work day, it is torture. Once you've gone through the ceremony of getting ready for work, commuting, and being the building.. you might as well have something to do.

This is 100% true. And the main reason is probably the fact you can never really focus on anything here.

You've got no 'official' work, so that can't use up your time. But you also can't go off and do something you'd want to do either, since there's always the nagging feeling of "what if something actually does come through, and I've got to be ready to handle it?"

So you just sit there wondering what to do, and probably end up either pointlessly scrolling through social media, or getting into whatever random unhealthy habit you're otherwise prone to (drink, drugs, too many snacks, etc).

It also likely does a lot of damage to your ability to focus on difficult tasks for a long period of time afterwards, since you're not entirely used to be able to spend hours on a single thing.

The obvious issue here is that workers don't want to own their company and probably shouldn't. A .001% stake in a company is less useful than a 50% stake, and it's well known that if you work at a company that pays you in shares you should immediately sell them and buy an index fund.

Those aren't the same APIs that were turned off for third party clients though, correct?
The absence of ad-tweets inserted into the API feed with an API term of "you must display these or we'll ban your app" was always weird.

That said, I bet that the real thing they want is the control to be able to push the Twitter Blue premium features, which I'm sure third-party apps would just sideline as much as possible even if they made them all available through the API.
