Sometimes I think mandatory hiring participation should be a thing. I generally learned as much about myself as I did from candidates from it.

But what you said here about buzzword bingo is so painfully true. I’ve seen that go to ridiculous lengths more times than I can count.
TLDR: it affect every cells of the body, not just the retina, mitochondria need infrared (just like we need UV for vid-D)

I healed my eczema with red light (infrared heater)
It turn out that infrared is needed by all our cells to get rid of inflammation.
We are in an epidemic of autoimmune diseases partially caused by the lack of infrared.

The spectrum of halogen lights is continuous and closer to what we would get outside. Tungsten bulbs are also continuous but more tilted toward infrared. I think we will have unintended consequence of everyone switching to led lights: the "wasted" infrared are actually useful for our body.

It is wise to assume that almost everything from the natural environment is connected to our biology. As we move further away from it we stack up the health problems self inflicted: crooked teeth, wisdom teeth, miopia, acnee, vid-d deficiency, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, etc.

Search "Medcram infrared" it’s a doctor that explain the science behind it.
There are ineffective managers but there are also ineffective ICs. With WFH, there are definitely people trying to do as little as possible. Objectively measuring people's effectiveness at work is hardly a solved problem.
Apparently yes. You can't submit PRs to a repo outside of the "fork network". (IIUC these all share a single Git repo under the hood)
Does anyone know how a "learning opportunity" is defined? (I failed to find it with a cursory in-document search)

If only software-mediated interactions are measured I could imagine that for math, a significant component of initial performance would be "student did (resp. did not) take advantage of the exercises in the textbook".
This is definitely a complicating factor. I had my first job search in the remote area after getting laid off this fall (previous one was fall 2019). In the past, I'd check job listings once a week or so, and over the course of the search I'd find 2-3 roles where the requirements seemed like a good fit. Applications almost always results in interviews and offers.

In the past cycle, and with remote work in the mix, I saw a couple interesting roles every single day. Given that I have 20+ YOE and was looking for Director/VP roles, this was remarkable. Even restricting myself to ones that felt like either great matches or slight reaches, I applied to about 30-40 jobs. Each of those had 10-300 applications. Fully half of those resulted in no reply whatsoever, about 10 resulted in an eventual rejection after weeks, and about 10 of those resulted in screens (a couple came 2 months after applying), with about 5 progressing to interviews, 2 going to "final round" status, and exactly one offer.

It's a numbers game now. The good news is that there are still lots of great roles, but there are more applicants. If you've been at large companies/FAANG and are used to lots of RSUs, then it's much more challenging to find that level of pay, as those companies are the ones making the cuts.
I hope you are right, but this is a for-profit company that has just received a new round of funding. From an Austin American-Statesman article[1], "Colossal Biosciences, which this week announced a new $150 million funding round, is led by Austin-based entrepreneur Ben Lamm..." And from a Yahoo! Finance article[2], "Colossal’s use of various gene editing technologies will make waves across sectors – in agriculture...as well as in human health through improved gene therapy and vaccine development."

I think it is reasonable to assume that there is a "business model" here.

BioGPT: Generative Pre-Trained Transformer for Biomedical Text Generation
I'm starting to view more and more things as nationalism vs globalism.

E.g. multinational corporations vs national tax laws

E.g. global internet services vs national privacy laws

E.g. global internet services vs national decency laws (the posted issue)

I'm starting to realise this mismatch is where a lot of friction is and will continue to be.
Japan's NTT Docomo uses invisibility cloak tech to fix 5G reception
Yeah but that test is for humans, its like saying a tiger is a pretty good wrestler because it did well in the wrestling ring, instead of just understanding that a tiger is big and brutal, which just happens to coincide with the sport. The tiger needs its own sport/test.
I'm just not comfortable with my manager knowing that I'm looking around.
I'm not sure that there's anything truly new in this article. Transformer-based models are very compute- and parameter-heavy, yes - but that's because they're optimized for generality and easily parallelizable training, even at a very large scale. The ML community has always been aware of this as an unaddressed issue. Once compute cost for both training and inference becomes a relevant metric, there's lots of things you can do as far as model architecture goes to make smaller and leaner varieties more applicable.
This model looks much too small to be effective. They announced an open model of 1.5B parameters [0] coming soon. Contrast this with davinci-003 or BigScience BLOOM, both with ~176 params.

I don't see how this will generate text that is comprehensive or useful. The open GPT models of that size aren't useable for text generation for anything serious. Adding the sensitivity of health/clinical I'd steer clear of this. Even BLOOM's model card specifically calls out biomedical as a misuse of the model [1].

Materially it is a fact that urban areas need rural areas to survive, while rural areas needs don't need the urban areas.

The country side can be self sufficient, the city can never be. Thousands of trucks deliver excess goods from the country side to the city every day. Saying that it is the city that supports the country side is fancy accounting.

I think that's because of what we're talking about right now -- all of these workers heading to the big cities instead of living out in the suburbs. When the workers return to the suburbs, business will follow them, and they won't be insolvent anymore.
Architect roles are great if they give you architectural problems to solve. It wouldn't be so great if it's just a manager without managers' power.
I don't understand your point. I was replying to people who were talking about how parks solve certain problems for those without yards, and I was wondering what problems they solve. The fact that most people don't grow vegetable gardens is cherry-picking one example I gave of something you can do in a backyard but that you can't do in a park. Why did you zero in on that and go off on a rant about how most people don't grow vegetable gardens and those who do can not live in cities? That has literally nothing to do with my comment.
Source for that claim? I hear it all the time, but never a source that actually stands up to scrutiny. (strongtowns is the most common - they are not a source)
> the market will find a way to deliver it at scale in a cost effective way

This really isn't a given. Look at the problems encountered trying to scale Bitcoin - slow transaction speed and high energy use. They're still unsolved, because some properties of a given technology are inherent to that technology.

There's no guarantee something is scalable, especially something that might (as the article suggests) have exponentially increasing costs in its default configuration.
i know you were replying to someone else but thanks for your comment, its good to get perspective. i’ll try to be less of a curmudgeon

Yes, you're a seasoned HTTP developer. The comment isn't meant for someone like you. It's meant for the other developers on a shared codebase who may not know much beyond the standard HTTP status codes (200, 400, 403, 404, 503).

It's a one-line comment. the Ruby code with the exponential backoff, eight lines. It does not take up more lines than the method.

They'll never admit it now, but a lot of investors genuinely bought into crypto and blockchain bullshit.

That doesn't change that their plan was to bail at the top (isn't that what VCs do normally?), but many of them really thought that crypto had a chance to eat into Visa/MC's market share, or that blockchain would somehow "solve" supply chain, identity management, etc.

The idea that crypto/blockchain investors knew all along it was a ponzi/pyramid/casino/scam/whatever-you-want-to-call it is revisionist history.

> My guess is training a generative AI will also be fair use. The question is, what about the output of the resulting model? And that is a question it'll take a court to answer.

I suspect that you are right, and that it will place legal responsibility on the individual operating the software for any infringement.

I think this will force the companies building these models to behave as if training the model was also infringement, because I cannot imagine a scenario where the average end-user has enough understanding/awareness of the implications of their prompts to avoid generating infringing work, and end-users getting sued would create an instant chilling effect on the use of such software.
But I am not. And you know, if I really want to watch Rings of Power so bad I will just download it from BitTorrent.

I definitely understand this stance, but it undermines your whole argument by bringing up the fact that prime is not just about shipping. Shipping is one of the benefits, but there are many others. If you don't feel it's worth it, then definitely cancel, but saying you'll steal some of it feels dishonest. I think maybe a better way to get the same point across is that you could watch it at a friend's house, or wait for the dvd.

I just canceled prime, but for the opposite reason. I'm so close to multiple warehouses that it's not really any faster than if I just order it regularly. I also pirate their content from time to time, but not because I don't want to pay for it, because the interface in the app sucks.

On a complete tangent, I wish someone had a service where I could buy physical media, and have it streamed for free until the day after it is delivered.
Here's a very good recent blog post that is much more in-depth about this general idea, more applied to social media: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys

And agricultural areas are dependent on transport hubs to deliver them goods resources from far-flung regions, as well as manufactured goods where the factories want to be near those transport hubs to minimize the cost of inputs. Farming villages are not all producing their own fertilizer from scratch, nor are they all manufacturing combine harvesters from locally-sourced iron. Likewise, facilities for essential high-skill services (e.g. advanced medical care) cannot sustainably be housed in every hamlet in the world.

Concentration will always happen, and it will always happen to the benefit of rural areas, who will pay a premium in order to access the goods and services that are most efficiently produced in urban areas, in the same way that the high-density areas will pay a premium for the agricultural outputs of the rural areas.

Therefore, as far as this goes:

> The small town can exist without the big city, the reversal is not true.

This is only true for values of "exist" where small towns are reduced to primitive subsistence farming. If you live in a rural area in the US and enjoy modern comforts like an iPhone, you have the cities of Shenzhen, Los Angeles, and whatever your regional rail hub is to thank for getting it into your hands.
Reading this article is like walking through deep mud. This is largely due to the author‘s excessive and baffling use of commas. But also due to myriad grammatical errors and ambiguous sentence constructions. Parsing some of his sentences is like looking at an optical illusion or an ambiguous painting. All things considered, I had a bad time attempting to read this article. I do not look forward to reading more of this author‘s writing in the future.
Currently seems broken at least.
> This strikes me as weird. User buys something from me, regrets it and issues a chargeback, dispute gets started and bank says I did nothing wrong, so the charge still sticks, but Stripe gets to keep the fee for handling the dispute?

It's about risk. This requires time and effort to reconcile. Someone has to do something. The fee covers this. Does it suck? For you, sure. For the customer? No. It's peace of mind. It's why people willingly shop online. Don't like it? Negotiate your own terms with a bank for your own merchant account.

And yes the charge sticks. If you have 1000 purchases and all 1000 people dispute, that's a hassle the bank needs to deal with. Compared to someone with 1000 purchases with 1 dispute, even if that dispute is valid, it's much less work. Much less costly for the bank. So part of your responsibility as a merchant is to prevent that as much as possible.

> Stripe gets to keep the fee for handling the dispute?

No, the bank is keeping the money. Stripe had the money taken. This is passed on to you.

Seriously, this is payment processing 101.

I've hired for a few remote startups in the past. It certainly could be your resume, but my offhand is that your FAANG experience prices you out of the remote market, either directly (you're telling them) or indirectly (recruiters know you'll be expensive).

I've hired ballpark 500 people in my career, talked to a lot of FAANG candidates, and hired only one. Comp expectations compared to experience was just always way out of alignment. Only reason the one got hired was because they were a great fit and very open about being willing and able to take a pay cut to go full remote.
I get the rage and I agree. I prefer it as well. But three points to consider:

1. In Twitter, just create lists instead of following. Strict reverse chronological order with no ads. Or use Mastodon, which has this by default.

2. Most users actually do want curated content and not EVERYTHING.

3. Reverse chronological order is also an algorithm with upsides and downsides. It's not like it is a "pure" thing.
The thread specifically says that deduplication, based on their own attempts with smaller models, helps but is not sufficient to prevent this.

It heavily depends on what kind of work you do and your relation to others though - if most of your work is deep work done by yourself of course less time interesting with others makes sense but if you're a team lead for example...

That should likewise account for variations in rate of learning, since you can't predict what prior knowledge they possess of the subject matter.

If the rate is consistent, there must be more than existing knowledge bases, or there would be clear staggered tiers or leapfrogging reflecting different accumulative advantage.
The official explanation so far is that the capsule was secured in its holding device which in turn was in a box secured on a pallet. The device was shaken apart by road vibration, and likewise one of the four bolts holding the box to the pallet was shaken out. The capsule bounced through the bolt hole, off the back of the truck and onto the roadside.

I think we'll have to wait until the Australian authorities finish an investigation to find out whether that improbable sequence of events is what happened, or whether Rio Tinto put a badly damaged, disassembled detector assembly into a box, did a poor job of securing the box, and THEN the part bounced out from road vibration. Given where it was found, though, I think we can be reasonably certain the last part is true.
But you did say Northern Europe, where our estimates are UK only; add another trillion for France, one for Germany, one for say Ireland+BeNeLux, another for Poland, another for NorthEast-Lithuania+Estonia+Belarus, one or two for Norway, Sweden, Finland... double it for the cost of the electrolyte, maintenance, the fact that building in Europe without slaves and with heavy regulation and expensive land is more expensive than Qatar...

World GDP is only around a hundred trillion, and we're talking of maybe ten trillion of it to build a heating system for Western Europe, for very little financial return for any investors.

Practically, we've been struggling to build one nuclear power plant (Hinkley C) for twenty years. I think it sounds like it is orders of magnitude outside our ability.
So as long as you can find (or bribe) one country that will let you skate by, you think it's fair game to just declare that your model's country of residence, then take all the images you want and put out your trained model to the whole world?

Somehow, I don't think that one's likely to fly.
Because I'm a scientist and I've used several of these models. I see how they perform and it isn't even close to being useful, in fact in some cases it could be harmful if someone who doesn't know the material already believes the nonsense it spits out
Not that surprising. The wagon inspector was a dane in denmark. The organizational responsibility was on german leaders in a german company. In the end nothing happened.
Ding ding ding. Stripe becomes PayPal. New stripe is born, cycle repeats.

As companies age and become more mature, they tend to become more risk-averse. They also become slower moving. The exact opposite of a startup. And why startups can and have beat incumbents.

There are a few sites that summarize knife laws, for example:

https://www.akti.org/state-knife-laws/

https://knifeup.com/knife-laws/

They do, of course include disclaimers that they're not offering legal advice. I think attempting to combine that with a parametric search might be more legally risky, as it makes a specific statement of "X knife is legal in Y jurisdiction", which people might act on without further interpretation or analysis.

Concordia University collaborates with the Chinese Military, so by your analysis, perhaps the rocket is not civilian. The article mentions Concordia, and hints at possible collaboration of “space science with Chinese military scientists” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-chinese-mil...

Also Electron is a far bigger rocket than Concordia’s: Rocket Labs was civilian (I believe) with their first rocket design in New Zealand. Rocket Labs was bought out by US interests, I guess because of difficulties for a New Zealand company to access the US market. https://www.rocketlabusa.com/

The core constraint is the ability of any particular monitor to product light at these wavelengths. In simple terms, LCD panels often shine a white backlight through a panel with separate red, green, and blue filters for every pixel. A fully-white image, then, should have the broadest spectrum possible for a specific screen. Apply a pure red image, e.g. 0xFF0000, will selectively filter the spectrum to mostly eliminate the green and blue wavelengths, but depending on the filtering material may also eliminate longer wavelengths too.

Edited to add:
This graphic [1] illustrates the spectrum produced by common light sources. Old LCD panels used fluorescent backlights like the bottom example. More recent LCD panels often use an array of LED backlights. The bottom line is that, if you're trying to maximize red light exposure, you're much better off with: sunlight >> incandescent bulb light > a very "warm" LED light.
