I can't understand the reason for paying attention to oneself.

For example, if we are looking at a seq2seq translation task, does self-attention mean that we "highlight" all words that have similar meanings in a sentence together? What's the intuition that this will help the translation task?

for example, in the sentence "I hate apples, I only drink apple juice.", will we encode the first "apples" and "apple" together? why is that useful?
Maybe a weather balloon? No wonder they took it down. Those things are just looking for trouble!

Why do you think there's consent in the first case but not the second case? You voluntarily choose your new instance just as much as you did your old instance.
er...no, tapping every phone of value in the world is not as bad as secretly bombing something.

you can trivially know this by comparing the US's response to e.g. every hack china and russia have ever done leading to mean words and maybe economic sanctions, vs the US literally invading two countries - which had nothing to do with the person who did the bombings - after 11/9.
It eventually ended up being a straight line where you could add yourself lower and higher in the line with two different characters, and turbo feed the xp upwards (there were loyalty stats to push up and receive more xp). It peaked with a prevalence of bots that would be parked at the bottom feeding the line 24/7.

Loved AC. Bots kind of killed it IMO (something I feel bad about contributing to), but also new MMOs (WoW decimated the competition when it came out). I remember a portal / recall trick with two vendors, where one would sell a specific thing cheaper than the other would buy it. This was before eBay cracked down on virtual goods. Interesting times.
Reddit is doing everything they can to kill it though. It's gone from habitually including site:reddit.com in every google search to actively avoiding it on mobile.

I'm not going to install the app. Ever. I will never, ever, ever install reddit's app. No amount of nagging me will ever get me to install it ever.

"The idea that there are people out there who don't know Rowling is a tervert is ludicrous." definitely takes the cake for terminally online. It's quite revealing. The existence of someone who has not had a media diet similar to theirs, one with heavy coverage of the JK Rowling transphobia controversy, is downright inconceivable.
Point is nobody is generating meaningless requests to push someone away. They can just push them away. The tediousness arises from not giving a shit, not outright malice.

Big complex one-off things are expensive.

Yeah, I mean you’ve more or less reiterated what I said. The hardware is very nice. And if you play a game where you calculate the hardware/$, the iPad pro makes sense.

When you really ask yourself what workload you’re doing on an iPad that requires anything more than an A16 is … I think you’ll find there isn’t much. You’re limited to iPad apps. You can’t even install a browser that isn’t a safari skin. Multitasking is horrible. The mouse/touch interface has weird janky things (like text selection).

You don’t have an escape key or a function row, so even many web apps are broken.

The iPad pro is about the same price as an M2 Macbook Air, and significantly more expensive than an M1 Macbook Air. While the hardware looks comparable, the software makes the hardware more or less useless.
Comp is meant to stay stable at the agreed upon target for the first two years. There is a cash bonus for years 1 and 2 used to offset the vesting schedule. The final 2 years are really dependent on stock performance. For example, I basically will need AMZN stock to get increase by 25% from todays value by Jan 2025 to be making what I did for the first two years.
The parking spots at Pike Place dwarf in comparison to the crowds the market serves. Here's a maps screenshot[1] where I've highlighted the parking available there[2]. Meanwhile the market serves ~10m annual pre-pandemic visitors[3], which averages to 27k daily visitors. The amount of visitors coming in by car are negligible.

None of these problems seems real. It seems they're just fuel for the outrage mob. Who's ever heard of a 'shofar' horn?

When people throw around scare terms like 'alt-right' it's very hard to take them serious.
re: evidence, I'm just quoting what the article says:

The wrongful death suit claims that Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) evidence has "emerged proving that TWA 800’s explosion was not caused by any defect in the airplane, but instead by an errant United States missile fired at aerial target drones flying nearby."

I am curious to see how this turns out and how it is refuted.
Seems like the solution here would be to station an officer at each major intersection permanently, and to fund it, take the operational cost and divide it out to those fined. So say it cost $100,000 for the day and 100 fines were given out, the fines are $1,000 each. This scales infinitely.
Many cities never closed those during the pandemic. So it was really a local decision.
Except they fly 2-3 hundred miles an hour and leak radiation we can detect from space…
> This is just factually untrue. AML policies unjustly affect millions of Americans.

If it's that clearly untrue, presumably you can document this?

And I'll note that even if you can, it doesn't necessarily contradict what you're replying to, which was, "This will affect the typical user of the financial system precisely zero times during their lives."

With 330 million residents, millions of people could have KYC/AML problems and patio11 still could be right. I've never had a problem like that, and have only heard one person ever mention it. And he was an Australian trying to open a US bank account to get around certain Australian import taxes, so I suspect he was somebody who should have been having problems.
I also think this is a very important mental model for the job to be done of Compliance departments, and I think I cited it in the KYC piece.
The only claim I think is objective here is IpadOS. And even then to say it's a "travesty" is hyperbole.
Because they fly a bit higher?
Same for me. I end up subscribing through a lot and then picking through feeds with keyboard shortcuts and keyword filters to speed it up. Could be better--and those methods aren't solutions for large subscriber bases.
Hersh didn't just question some narrative. He presented a fanciful story as fact that is full of holes and does not stand up to scrutiny. Those who are motivated to see the US blamed for it seem to be uninterested in whether his story actually is true or not. The truth of what happened and how it happened doesn't seem to matter. They believe the US did it, so they believe Hersh's story.

It's frustrating because having a theory that the US did it isn't unreasonable, and could be discussed. My initial reaction was that the US probably did it, it was only later after more details came out and really thinking it through I came to realize it wouldn't make sense. Though if they did it certainly would not have occurred in the fanciful way Hersh presented. I do not know who did it, while I could put a good theory together why Russia did it and can see they had some motivation, I could also make a good Hershesque story about how some criminal environmentalist group from Germany did it. Or why Poland did it. Or Sweden.

EDIT: Actually when you think about it, with the alternative Yamal pipeline through Poland, and Poland's distrust of Germany. Poland had plenty of motivation! Much more than the US. They have the explosives, they can whip together a few tech divers for an easy 80-100m dive, and they have easy access to the Baltic. But motivation and opportunity is not enough.

No.

It's kind of a mindset shift, but with logical clocks you kind have to let go of the concept of ordering with one global universal time - it's just not feasible to do accurately with clock skew.

They're purely used to provide a partial order of events - partial because the system cannot say for sure whether some events happened before or after each other.

That is still irrelevant. You should not be able to sue someone for having your stuff. You should be able to sue them for stealing it. In this case it was not stolen. It was planted and spread naturally. And then the farmers chose to keep using the things that things that had basically fallen into their laps.

Shame we decided to shutter all those down across the country, for an extended period because they were deemed "non-essential", leading to many of them to shutter forever.

This meme needs to die already.

A lot of those businesses shut down in 2020.

It's 2023 now, we haven't had any COVID restrictions for 2 years, and all the ones that have gone away... Have long since been replaced with equivalents. Some of whom have also shut down, and have been replaced with equivalents.

Restaurants and coffee shops die and open all the time. 2020 was rough, but in the long term, the net impact on my neighborhood has been ~zero.

You know where they have been dying and not re-opening? Downtown, because half their former patrons are now WFH and don't go into the office anymore. Unfortunately, that's a little harder to blame on COVID shutdowns.
> Do you protest when a hitman can't do another hit or access his corrupted proceeds to pay his maid or or pay his kid's dental bills?

No, I would not protest freezing the account of a hitman. Now please show me how I can hire a govt sponsored hitman with USD and I’ll lend your argument some credence.
We lived through kind of a strange time thanks to low interest rates. For awhile you basically could get free lunch on these VC companies dime because they were willing to do everything at a loss. As soon as they tightened the purse strings, you just moved on to the next party. But hopefully things get more sane going forward...
it's a useful heuristic of mine to massively distrust anyone who makes silly claims like assigning probabilities at 1 decimal point to things like this:

> 1 Opposition: Opposition forces in Syria (Liwa al-Islam) carried out the chemical attack. 96.4%

> 2 Syrian army: The Syrian army carried out the chemical attack. 3.6%

though it helps when they also explain the process with nonsense like:

> The few prior instances of chemical attacks against civilian targets contain factors that make them poor comparisons to the attack in Syria, leaving motivation as the primary factor. An analysis of the motivating factors behind such an attack results in the Syrian army being twice as likely to launch such an attack compared to an Opposition group, i.e. 67%-33%.

No reason why it can't be hidden behind a WARNING:MAY BREAK or about:config. But they implemented it in such a roundabout manner. Anyways the issue is not the decision but rather the communication about it. Ideally a dev post about this could have satisfied a lot of people but they chose to go with the PR soup method. It's not even that these are exclusive, include a link to dev post in the soup
> Maybe, just maybe, the people complaining about the game are unhinged.

They aren't, but the vibe of this thread already makes it obvious that argument to that end would be fruitless.
No, a meltdown is not the day-to-day culture, but it's definitely a fringe activist network.
> Why do you think there's consent in the first case but not the second case? You voluntarily choose your new instance just as much as you did your old instance.

I choose it, but you didn't, and if I migrate private messages exchanged between us, that would affect your personal information.

Just migrating my public posts will not be an issue. I don't know if private messages would be. §20 states in 4 "The right referred to in paragraph 1 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others."
It probably meant the continental USA.

Plenty of risk has been discussed. The problem is that it doesn't matter what the odds are of complete cataclysm; there's money to be made and "progress" won't be stopped. I wouldn't be surprised if chatbot muzzling is the only "regulation" we ever see.

My way of explaining this is that we have a part of our brains which is intended to handle and recognize grammar. If we offload some of the work to it, it feels easier to deal with code. Even though what we are actually doing is certainly harder.

The tradeoff of this kind of grammar is that metaprogramming becomes harder because by the act of making some of the structure into special grammar, it becomes harder to metaprogram.
I spent my childhood in an inner suburb of Cleveland. Between kindergarten and eighth grade, I took a bus to school for part of sixth grade. Otherwise everything was in the 15-minute distance, mostly afoot. (The junior high school might have been twenty or thirty minutes on foot, but of course less on a bicycle.) Nobody mistook it for Paris, but within the radius was a quite decent library, an independent bakery, a deli, and a grocery store.
It's one sided. They only have to allow exporting. Either via a data dump file or a direct transfer to another service.

It's implied that the importing side will make this work on their own since they only benefit from allowing data imports to onboard new customers while the exporter is losing their customer.
I'm glad you like the idea! If you try it out, feel free to lemme know how it goes.

I was so mad when I purchased a carrier unlocked LG Velvet 5G just over a year ago. It seemed like the perfect phone

- 5G radio

- SD card slot

- HEADPHONE JACK!

Then 3 weeks later LG quietly announces "yeah we're not making phones anymore. Sorry!"

Which, sure, fine. Fair enough LG. But at least let us unlock our bootloaders and put custom ROM's on the thing! What are you afraid of, we won't go out and buy a new Samsung phone instead?
The true answer, which may not be useful, is that style is what happens when one writes five million words. For the first few hundred thousand you end up sounding a lot like your favorite authors and what your teachers wanted. Then you start doubling down on what is working, try random experiments, bounce around an incentive gradient a bit, and also accumulate a decade plus of life experience and hopefully some knowledge. Eventually, people start sounding like you. There is no day in the middle where you hire a focus group of writing professionals to develop a house style guide.

That is a joke but not much of one; writing style guides to capture "What is... taste? How do we scale it?" is a project I've actually been involved with. This project brief has defeated many talented people, the least of which being me.
Or even how it might be used to find sarcasm in veiled threats!

There's a wonderful blog post I want to find from years back about Starbucks switching from manual to automatic espresso machines, saying how the next generation of good coffee shops are probably getting their start by buying those manual machines cheap. And more generally, the cycle is that for a new brand having a few people who love you is more important than having people who don't hate you, so you take risks, and then at some point you're mainstream and that flips and it's more important to not be hated.

I'd add to that that brand reputation is monetisable and monetised. It's almost a playbook at this point: sell something high quality to people who are really into that thing, get a good reputation, then dilute the quality down and you can coast on that reputation for a while while selling cheaper versions at the original high prices to a much wider audience.

I don't know what the counter to this is, other than customers paying much more attention to when a brand changes their products, which would not be free for them.
If someone starts sending thousands or tens of thousands of balloons into American airspace to make the cost of shooting them down "significant", won't your congress consider that an act of war? It's quite a leap from the odd stray weather balloon to send them en masse.

Thanks for reading!

Yeah, I completely agree with you. One of my biggest influences is Joel Spolsky, and his advice on this is, "If it’s a core business function — do it yourself, no matter what." [0]

When I started the business, I thought the money was in the software, not the hardware. I figured people would build the hardware on their own, and they'd pay me to create a nice software experience for them. I offered hardware kits as a convenience for users who wanted to buy all the parts at once. Then, I realized people would pay more for custom parts, and I ended up with electrical engineering at the core of my business before I even realized what I'd done.

In the future, I'll definitely stick to software and domains where I'm competent at the core skills myself. But now that I'm here, I'm hoping to make it work despite having to outsource the EE portion.
