A lot is a normalization of covid era excesses.

Yeah, everything that went on during the "peak COVID era" has definitely flipped a lot of things around, and confused the issue in many areas. I expect that's one reason it's so hard right now to be sure what's really happening.

The other thing that strikes me about this is that the fed has been looking for a good chance to start raising rates for a LONG time now. Interest rates have been running really low by historical standards for a long time IIRC, to the point that there was talk about the possibility of negative interest rates possibly being needed in response to some future economic downturn. They wanted rates up a bit to have "dry powder" to expend in response to the next (actual) recession. The risk, obviously, is the possibility of triggering a recession through that very act of trying to get rates back up to a "normal" level.
So much for the no-code space. 4 weeks severance is awful for a $2b unicorn and in light of what all other companies are giving lately. Wish for the best to those affected.
Except that exact model of schooling worked fine with boys for generations.
I like this idea. I have an idea for something that would be cool, if impractical: Imagine a GCC wrapper that doesn't actually link, but produces a bundle that performs the linking in randomized order in realtime and then runs.

I think that you could do this quite well on NixOS, and I'm now intrigued to try to rig up a proof-of-concept when I can find the time.

Side-effect: Does not work for libraries without a significantly more complex wrapper that certainly could not work for all libraries. Though, you could re-order the objects within a static library fairly easily.
Why didn't you ask the AI that question
I think you underestimate the scale of data these models are trained on by many orders of magnitude.
> even if we had the resources, humanity would not consider sending Rosetta-like missions to every single asteroid in the Asteroid Belt or to every comet in the Oort Cloud.

Of course we would. Not to every single one, but to enough of a random sampling to get a statistical sense of what's there.
It brings me no joy to say this.

Taiwan's numbers looks good on paper (until you dig further), but the reality on the pavement, or lackthereof, is dire. The noise, air, visual pollution are as bad as it was from 30 years ago, maybe worse. Traffic is bad, and salary to cost of living is extreme.

Japan's numbers look bad. But its quality of life is one of the best in the world.

Has there been progress in infrastructure/housing in Taiwan? Sure, in small areas, such as new housing developments, where all the capital sits, extracting rent or sitting empty, contributing nothing.

We need to do better, raise our standards. Otherwise we're going to get left behind even further.
> Con: does not move me in the direction of using Python more. Feel like this is going to be a must-have for AI-powered components.

This is why too many companies build on Python... some thought that maybe someday they will need some AI something, and they hamstring themselves from the start with inferior tooling.
> Technically, Paypal is not regulated as a bank

PayPal has a banking license in Luxembourg which allows them to operate in Europe.

I guess it depends on the region/country.
At the bitter bottles bottom waits the truths for those who seek. Socrates the greek.

All situation stakeholders involved want to escalate, thinking themselves the winner ones the smoke clears. Romantic narratives replace situational awareness, as the generation who experienced a similar escalation leaves the stage.
That's not the point. LLMs work by predicting what text to generate next. It doesn't work by choosing facts, it works by saying the thing that sounds the most appropriate. That's why it's so confidently wrong. No amount of training will eliminate this problem: it's an issue with the architecture of LLMs today.

The DMV is the obvious centralized source of truth for this data. It's ridiculous that anybody would even think to reach for a blockchain for this use case. Contact your assemblyperson.
I don't think any credible person predict twitter would fall over immediately. The only prediction I've seen was for April [1] and there's still 4 months and in the meantime Elon has talked about replacing himself as CEO, ad spend has cratered, and iirc Twitter wasn't profitable when it was bought nevermind with an additional 1B/yr interest payment.

I prefer a world in which people pay a small fine or make their own excuses rather than pay the fine money to a VC-backed startup for access to an LLM to mount a legally unsound defence that ends up getting them into a lot more trouble, yes.

If your goal is to ensure poor folks are pushed towards paying an utterly unaccountable service further fees to escalate legal cases they don't have the knowledge to win so the LPs of Andreesen Horowitz have that bit more growth in their portfolio, I can see how you would think differently.
Agreed, although I'd really like to throw in type safety, because the lack of it made my life needlessly complicated. Is this feasible with Python?

I’ve always thought depression to be a symptom to a larger cause. There’s many books that talk about why such as everyday stress, childhood trauma, genetics, spirituality/meaning, and even lack of quality human basics(foods, sleep, air, etc). So many factors and even all those can be wrong.

This article is promising that it seems science is rethinking this challenge one small step at a time. I’ve always been fascinated with stories where previously depressed people found the right combination of change to turn their lives around. Sometimes it feels like it is cyclical in life. Being able to treat it with a kitchen sink of tools could really help outside of a single drug solution.

They seem to look for causes on the hardware level, but maybe it's a software issue many times.
Right, this is a very long way of saying that CI = modulating factors * CO which is the point I've been trying to make.
It's quantitatively different, not qualitatively different.

The non-contributors here here speak in full sentences, cite cherry picked links to back up their assertions of the local dogma and link to the Wikipedia page of whatever trope they want to reference rather than just stating it. These sorts of comments perform the same social utility (tribe signaling basically) to the people who peddle them as saying "yikes" and "the front fell off" on reddit and the snarky bigoted quips they use on the chans. Such non-contributions seem to be of roughly the same prevalence on all platforms, ours are just the most polished.
Based on which facts?
> sending off emails to someone saying hey we need to do layoffs too?

This is absolutely happening, and if not from the C Suite then from the board and other investors.

Yes, virtually all companies have plenty of bloat that can be trimmed, but trimming it a year ago would be a negative signal to investors. Now it's a positive signal, so layoffs are happening. They will continue to happen until companies are punished for it rather than being rewarded for it.
> … leaving behind the indemnification provided by Section 230 intended to ensure that hosting providers were not liable for user content under the CDA.

> That’s it. Nothing more complicated.

What on earth about those two sentences suggests that algorithmic content wouldn't be protected or that Section 230 would require platforms to be neutral?

Again, and I can't stress this enough: the people who wrote Section 230 disagree with you. You are arguing with people who wrote Section 230 that they are wrong about their motivations about why they wrote it.

Why is this so hard for people? What part of Ron Wyden literally saying "Section 230 is not about neutrality" are people getting hung up on? What wiggle room exists in that quote? When you have the actual authors telling you that they wanted platforms to be free to be Conservative/Liberal biased, and you have the actual authors writing briefs in support of Google for the Supreme Court, where on earth are you getting the idea that Section 230 is just about pornography or illegal content, or that recommendation algorithms wouldn't be protected?
Regulatory stuff doesn't really impact Big Tech's Cloud presence. I've been working closely on JWCC related RFPs and the big boys at the DoD are 100% going to push back significantly if AWS or GCP are even slightly inconvenienced. There's an internal recognition with the DoD and DHS that antitrust in the Cloud Platform Security space could lead to national security issues due to turf battles and mismanaged divestments.

And people on the Hill trying to make their mark are concentrating more on the Ad Business and Marketplace portions - those are easier wins for consumers and (more critically) small mom and pop businesses that love to participate in local politics.
To be clear, the article isn't endorsing the statement that "sore losers of undeserved privilege don't merit much sympathy." It takes seriously the idea that men are facing real problems.
> It is illegal in most states to give legal advice if you are not licensed to practice law.

Presumably that's in the USA, where all sorts of things require a licence. But what's the definition of "legal advice", I wonder? Can an unlicensed person dodge the law just by saying "this is not legal advice" while advising someone how to draft a contract or what to say in court and charging for that advice?

If you want an example of advice that may or may not be "legal advice" think about how to fill in a tax return, how to apply for a government grant, how to apply for or challenge planning permission, how to deal with a difficult employer/employee/neighbour/tenant/landlord, how to apply for a patent, how to deal with various kinds of government inspector, ... That's all specialist stuff for which you might want professional advice but not necessarily from a "lawyer" (depending on what that word means in your part of the world).
I got laid off just as my kid was born, so took a few years off, but when it was time to start looking for a job, it just happened to be time to start with day care as well. I admit, it was hard, I'm not mentally prepared to do child care as a full time job, I got really bored sometimes and everything was about routine. Also, I got the feeling that he wanted to start playing with friends and have more diversity in what he did during the day, it works out.
I think there's more to it than time constraints. Of course the efficiency of the method is a big concern, but we also have to remember that games are primarily experiences. In a lot of the games I play, stuff like stealth games, rougue-lites, and DotA, the simple and predictable behavior the current models is required for the game to work. The models HAVE to be stupid to make the game work.

I think this is why it was very important that their first release of the model weights (the v1.4 model) was and will continue to be very important. While training an entire model from scratch requires an insane amount of data and compute right now (and will continue to be out of reach of individuals for some years I think), fine-tuning the model can be done on a consumer graphics card (they call it Dreambooth)... and I believe we will see further refinements that allow more and more useful tuning and features being built by individuals on top that original model, making it more and more powerful for specific uses. So even if future efforts change the functionality, or nerf the output in some way, there will always be people developing tools on the original weights. That cat is out of the bag.

I think something like ipfs offers better resistance to such attacks for node owners. I wonder how the two compare because I don't know either in detail.

But sharing unencrypted content from others could be an issue for many reasons. Copyright too.

Especially because this protocol is aimed at content blocked or censored from other platforms, as others have pointed out.

Sure, you can block others from using your relay but then what's the point? Just host your stuff on your self hosted web blog.
Women have 2x the rates of depression as men. But is there any reason to think that 200 years ago it was even more so?

I think we overestimate the impact of external factors on our internal mental states. That's why the typical treatment for depression is CBT (literally changing your thoughts and behaviors) and not "improve your external situation".

Exactly. I asked it for books on Hong Kong history and it spit out five complete fabrications. The titles were plausible and authors were real people, but none of them had written the books listed.

Why would an oven need Internet access? You physically need to open the oven and put stuff in it and then take it out. Food over IP is not a thing yet.

Unless it has an internal camera with which you can observe the food while it's cooking, I see no advantage of using an Internet connected oven.

I honestly believe this is the single biggest driver today of the issues we see with young men, is the lack of positive male role models. My parents divorced when I was about 12 and one of the things that was really difficult for me to figure out as I grew up is what my life was supposed to look like as a man. I mean I had ideas about what I was supposed to do, but what was my day to day life supposed to be like. Luckily I had leaders in my church that helped step up and set me on the right course but I a huge part of the problem is young men now have no where to look to know what it means to be a man, so they just default to do what is easy and fun.
I can relate with most of this. But I also know I have some unpopular opinions on certain matters. I will discuss on HN/Reddit - or even IRL if I'm talking to a stranger/someone where risk is low of it getting back to "core" network. In other environments, I'm likely to just keep silent on those opinions. Even then, in some environments (work/school/church), some topics are completely off limits and I won't even sit in silence (eg. if coworkers talk politics/religion I just physically leave the conversation).

I too feel I'm my true authentic self in each scenarios, I'm just calculating risk, disruption, impact to reputation, etc and can always choose silence as a safe option. Although, safe discussion on these topics is often the most interesting to me. It's controversial stuff where my opinions have reason 'to me' but I'm open to hearing other points of view. I don't see my thoughts as immutable so if some stranger on the internet says something I haven't considered, I might just change my way of thinking entirely.
One reason I cannot just agree is Norway, which has anything but a mild climate, a low rate of garage ownership, and a lot of long distance rural journeying to go to places like Tromsø, and yet has 8 out of 10 new car buyers selecting EVs:

And, in anecdata, I just did a 1000 mile road trip in my 2016 Tesla through many frigid places in the USA. It was fine. Your argument sounds a lot to me like "people don't/shouldn't ride bicycles when it's cold or snowing" and that's also demonstrably false in my opinion:

That's a bit of what I mean though...what counts as diverse? Diversity is such a vague word that anyone with some attribute outside of the norm in an industry might qualify. Do we discriminate against some forms of diversity, and not others? I think that hirings/firings should be done because of performance, as that is the only way to really make it fair in the long run. Its great to have people from different backgrounds be on the team, but that shouldn't be the sole defining decision.
Way to completely ignore the point. It is also addressing a spiritual problem with material concerns. Just throw more money at it and the problem goes away?

It is also founded on the premise that the government is in a position to remove any and all risk from people's lives. Indeed, it would be obligated to do this. It is extending a guarantee it has no way of fulfilling.
But why would you need a persistent shared ledger, and not just a plain old database?

The point of blockchain is to establish trust via technology when the participants are not trustworthy. Is DMV not trustworthy? If so why? I have a driver's license, and it never occurred to me not to trust DMV, and I never heard anyone else being worried about that either.
It needs a few tries but imho it does a fairly good job encapsulating those flat "edgy" mainstream late night comedy jokes. With a little human post-editing/adjustments, a potentially useful tool. I have never done stand-up comedy myself but the little I know: "jokes" themselves are heavily dependent on the delivery (timing, cadence, accentuation, setup, context ...); so more a "personality" you try to conjure up at stage.

I guess so but there are lots of things in nature we take for granted. It’s not particular to paper topology.
This reminds me of how long it took me to notice a pattern in my relationships. When I look back, it's so obvious that I was picking a certain kind of person, and behaving in a certain kind of way, that would lead to the same conclusion. But it didn't feel like I was repeating the same story over and over again just to satisfy some malformed part of my psyche. I can't rewire something so deep in me that even effects who I'm attracted to. All I can do is be aware of it, and course correct.
Advertising works because it is a psychological hack. Influencers are using the same hack and once it becomes more than a passion or hobby project then the monetary incentive perverts their judgement.

I'm all for people sharing their knowledge and hobbies to inform others but the term 'influencer' has a connotation in which they are earning money from 'influencing' others and that seems an awful lot like basic advertising to me.

Yes, unfortunately walking isn't really sufficient. You need to get your heart rate up sufficiently, so something like running, biking, weightlifting, dance, etc. work. I've long suffered from depression, and while I find it very hard to exercise regularly, when I do I definitely feels significant improvement to my mood. It's unfortunate that it's so hard to do it consistently.

I’ve heard this argument on numerous occasions but I have never heard someone justify it or why they believe it.

Are there specific similarities that make you believe these are equivalent scenarios? Not just “it feels thematically similar”.
I'm right handed, only 6 & 7 styles looked to have a right-handed slant.

Perhaps a slant (skew) slider would be a nice touch.

Also, none of the styles stroke their dots (dotted "i", etc.). I know it might be derisively called "cheerleader style" (but it's the way I dot my i's to give the dot more weight).
