>The crazy thing is it feels like wages are really set by the standard of living.

this is basically guaranteed to be the case because in urban areas, the biggest expense is housing, which is inherently a positional good. Paying more wouldn't help, because everyone would just bid up the prices on housing and negate any nominal increase.
I'm somewhat inclined to agree with you in principle but I still have no idea how this comment relates whatsoever to the parent comment.

They are kind of a sacrificial part in crashes. They can also get bent going in/out of bike racks. Crashes are a lot more common racing FWIW.
We're in an economic slump right now. We went from craziness to tech companies becoming like any other business. So many of us who were caught up in the craziness need to take a break for a while.

You will have a tough time ahead but you'll survive just fine too. Think one level lower on Maslow's hierarchy of needs for now. You have everything you need to survive. Going higher is on pause. For now.

Have you told your spouse? This is common in these situations. You don't want to put much on their shoulders but they'll just want to hug you and support you. So does everyone.

My interpretation of the double-slit experiment has been that the presence of physical matters in a certain configuration imposes some sort of probabilistic "reality field" that propagates at light-speed. The superposition of these "reality fields" at a certain point in space(-time) determines the probability of the particles' behaviour at that point, not unlike how support vector machines with a RBF kernel work.

This interpretation has the benefit (I think) of bypassing the problems with the "observers" --- any apparatus that is able to discern the path a particle had taken just so happens to impose a field such that, when superposed with the original "reality field" the double-slit imposes, the mixture field no longer exhibits the interference pattern.

Of course I am not a physicist by training, so the above could be completely nonsense (or it could have already been an established theory).

But now, finally, the disbenefits of rampant house price inflation are starting to be shared by everyone, rather than by only those locked out of the leverage-fueled bonanza. The huge cohort of winners have done so well out of it that it is now actually creating a labour shortage as described, outweighing the "wealth effect" which was supposedly so beneficial to the economy throughout the boom. So now maybe The Government and The Bank will not be quite so inclined to keep pumping it up any more.
Isn't it "only the poorest can afford children" situation?
Yup. 8 cubic meters for 3 people, that's 2x2x2. With roughly 1 SLS launch per year (?), nobody is actually going to live there except to check a PR box during a mission, if ever. So really, what is the purpose? I chose the drama not to underscore making astronauts endure those conditions but for the political reasons they are doing it.

What I typically tell people is "solder will stick to the part that melts it." If you melt the solder with the iron tip, it will stick to the iron. If you use the iron tip to heat the joint and melt the solder with the joint, it will stick to the joint. The physics isn't correct but it's served me well as an easily remembered rule-of-thumb.

"the Office of National Statistics suggest that total net migration was 504,000 in the year ending June 2022. This was substantially above pre-pandemic estimates of between 300,000 and 400,000 (depending on which measure is used) " [1]

Imported labour is cheaper.
There is a labor shortage in the UK and unemployment is the lowest in 40 years, so all those people should be able to find jobs.

At the same time a job at Pret pays £20k / year and you can’t really find a room in London for less than £700 / month.
Have you actually tried DLSS3? That's absolutely not true.
Adding to this, the key is what these market actors purchase in place of the bonds that were sold.

They shift out and buy more risky assets. Corporate bonds, equities.

And then next the people that held the corps/equities that were sold buy still more risky assets (e.g., speculative equities, VC) and so on (e.g., crypto).

You'd like to think so. Unfortunately there are far too many folks in this country who would buy the "this candidate hates cops" and "that candidate wants crime unpunished" line spouted by those unions. Then the politicians who cross them lose, and their "tough on crime" replacement gives the union everything they want and more. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

All those "Thin Blue Line" flags you see everywhere? They have no interest in bringing the police unions to heel for covering up officer misconduct while on duty.

There are major cities in the US where even the mayor can't legally fire a police officer caught on video doing wrong.
This goes in my toolbox, thanks!
We used to have free milk, but Thatcher got rid of that (Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher).

One challenge in the UK, especially somewhere like London, is we have a fair amount of diversity in food choices.

Providing nutritious, tasty meals on a very limited budget with options for vegan, vegetarian, kosher, halal, gluten free and other diets can be a challenge for schools, and many primary schools are quite small without cooking facilities. When I was young, it was normal in primary to bring a "packed lunch" from home, usually a sandwich and crisps. The standard UK lunch as an adult is still a sandwich for most people. The move towards free cooked school meals has been suggested because turns out that many don't have access to a daily healthy cooked meal at home.
Even if we can increase the quantity of migration, if we aren't able to compete for the highest skilled migrants or keep our own young people in the country by offering them jobs as highly paid as other english-speaking places (e.g. the US, Australia, etc) with lowish taxes that allow them to build wealth, we're very likely to face serious economic problems supporting the public services we have through the ongoing demographic transition.
Serious question: What is Plan 9? Can someone explain or send me some docs to read? Thank you!
If this works well, it will be a game changer. Requiring a fleet of $10k+ GPUs will kill any hope of wide spread adoption of open source "competitors" to GPT-3. Stable Diffusion is so popular because it can run on hardware mere mortals can own.
I went to school in the 80’s and 90’s in Canada (suburbs of Toronto) and school lunch was not free. The primary school did not have facilities to prepare lunch, and high school had a pay-as-you-go cafeteria. I don’t know if things have changed.
The code snippets in the article bizarrely have text that is of several different font sizes. Is this some ide feature? Or is this just poorly edited together from screenshots at different sizes?
That's the most delta-v efficient launch path for any orbit that isn't at some sort of extreme inclination so it makes sense.
I don't know about these large models but I saw on a random HN comment earlier in a different topic where someone showed a GPT-J model on CPU only: https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml

I tested it on my Linux and Macbook M1 Air and it generates tokens at a reasonable speed using CPU only. I noticed it doesn't quite use all my available CPU cores so it may be leaving some performance on the table, not sure though.

The GPT-J 6B is nowhere near as large as the OPT-175B in the post. But I got the sense that CPU-only inference may not be totally hopeless even for large models if only we got some high quality software to do it.

I wonder if this is somehow related to Congress' recent intervention in the railroad strike?

">Only days after the law was passed, BNSF, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced pilot programs to reduce crew sizes from two to one.<"

Norfolk Southern is the railroad company that suffered the Ohio spill.

wsws is hardly an unbiased source but they clearly support the RR workers.

So this incident could be sabotage or "faked sabotage" (damage done to falsely impute malfeasance by the workers/union).

Also saw a video of the train passing thru a prior town with one RR car axle spewing sparks.
> * A loophole allows SUVs to bypass pollution regulations by calling themselves 'light trucks'

SUVs, light trucks and cars have to pass the same emission standards in the US. I think you meant fuel economy that has different rules for light trucks and cars.
IPv6 started rolling out... let's call it in 2000, which is probably a touch late but close enough, and https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html puts it at 43% of traffic, but that's positive biased (because it's only traffic on the public internet). So... I'm going with no, as a society we can't and/or won't.
>Cities are much safer and richer.

Speaking generally, rather than specifically in the context of cars, most big US cities were worse on pretty much every axis (other than cost) in 1990 than they are today. I suspect most people who object to the, say, Disneyfication of Times Square weren't there at night 30 years ago. Cities were in general significantly more dangerous and grittier than they are today.
I also have this process. Sadly, it means I cannot go faster to some degree. Which becomes a pain when a manager wants Velocity.
Interesting, though apparently the OPT175B model is 350GB:

> You will need at least 350GB GPU memory on your entire cluster to serve the OPT-175B model. For example, you can use 4 x AWS p3.16xlarge instances, which provide 4 (instance) x 8 (GPU/instance) x 16 (GB/GPU) = 512GB memory.

Our definitions of bias in this context seem, mine aligns with the first Merriam Webster definition -

1 a : an inclination of temperament or outlook
especially : a personal and sometimes unreasoned judgment : prejudice
b : an instance of such prejudice

I consider undue bias to basically be deliberate deception about the information itself or the biases of the source.

This is important because, as another commenter in this thread said, we always have an imperative to act amid imperfect information.

edit: Obviously you can choose to not act, but inaction seems like the opposite of empowerment to me.
Some bacteria infect both animals and humans, and there is also horizontal gene transfer between bacteria, so if someone is infected with two (or more!) different bacteria, (e.g. in a hospital environment - see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30248271/), that can result in the relevant resistance genes to be transferred to another disease, creating a strain of it that is also resistant to that antibiotic.

Around 20% of kids get school meals for free whether it's being under a certain age or in a household under a certain income, but in most cases, no, school lunches aren't free. As a parent, I am aware that some kids, mostly in secondary education, will buy snacks for their friends or share their lunch with them if they can't afford it every day.
Been there and that took like over a year to fully become normal again.
I'll answer this in two parts:

Me:

I personally have a very atypical career so please take this with a grain of salt. That being said, I think my weird background helped me to excel in this space

Here is my professional background

- SAP Consultant working for SAP (Data Analytics & Reporting)
- (Entrepreneur) Web Design Agency (failed)
- SAP Consulting (3rd Party Partner)
- (Entrepreneur) Startup (failed)
- Management Consulting (we were doing about ~15 IT Due Diligence projects a year when I joined)
- Left previous firm and started my own firm (Renna Partners), which exclusively focused on IT/Tech DDs (previous firm did IT strategy + DD was a small part of the overall biz)
- Sold my firm to my competitor (Crosslake), which is who I work for now

Experience that led to this type of work:

I started as a consultant in SAP's support group. Oddly, at a young age this gave me exposure to the technical/operational challenges of M&A as I sat in on a high profile customer who bought SAP and BOBJ integrated products before the company merged, and then had to deal with the companies/tech talk to each other post close. This was more "in the trenches" than it was strategic, but it help formulate how I thought about the strategy of M&A for companies. I then taught myself to code when I tried doing a web design agency and a startup. Failed miserably, but gave me a ton of empathy about what its like to be a (1) a founder (2) an engineer and (3) a business operator. After my last startup failed, I called an old friend of mine and luckily they were hiring. Their IT DD practice was small (it was 1-2 people) but growing. I came on and basically acted as a junior partner with one of the partners who led the practice. We quickly grew that to supporting ~100 deals/year. The company wasn't strategic about the work (they wanted large scale IT strategy gigs), so we split off and I start my own firm that focused solely in on IT/Tech DD. I then sold that company to my biggest competitor. I'm now an MD/Executive at that firm. My experience with hands on development, owning/operating a business, M&A, mix of enterprise software + implementation, and consulting (this can't be understated, there is a ton of value in knowing "how to be a consultant") is probably what really helped me excel in this space. Oh and now that I've sold a company myself, I have even more perspective :)

Typical person:

There are usually two types of personas that fit well: career consultants in tech M&A (think E&Y, West Monroe, KPMG, etc.) and operational leaders (e.g. seasoned CTOs, VP of Engineering, Head of Product, etc.). People who have done both are IDEAL. Personally I look for "athletes" or T-Shaped people. You need to be able to get very technical and then translate this to a financial person who doesn't know the difference between Java and JavaScript, which is a very unique skill in itself.

P.S. I have a huge demand Product people (market + technical) who want to help do Product Due Diligence + Product Strategy consulting. Please reach out if you're interested.

At one time, offering geckoview as a WebView provider was on their roadmap, iirc
Yeah that was the scenario laid out, that an average player with a $1600 GPU would use it 10% of the time.

Whatever you think the real numbers are, you probably need about half a subscription to pay the bandwidth. I'd be more concerned about the electricity bill, since you'd be in the ballpark of 200kWh a month.
Under FPTP a large proportion of voters lose effective representation, while in a proportional system you are able to vote for parties who will negotiate the way you want them to. I grew up on Norway, where parties always would go into elections with promises about what their negotiation goals for a coalition would be, because people understood that enfranchising as many as possible means negotiated compromises, not letting on faction push through whatever they want.

Democracies are best judged by how well they ensure minorities interests are allowed to influence policy.
Are you sure you're not thinking the 4080? It has very similar performance but a lower TDP https://tpucdn.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx/images/rela...

But regarding the 4090 you can drop 100W and barely lose any performance at all e.g. https://i.redd.it/d7lq97nttkv91.png. I assume it's at least somewhat similar for the 7900 XTX as well. The power scaling capping out so hard was really quite the disappointment given the new 600W connector.
You are ignoring that the net profit has to be sufficiently high to offset risk in the financial calculation. Expected ROI calculations are always net of taxes, inflation, and risk. Many businesses that look "profitable" on paper are uninvestable due to inflation and risk, so reducing realized net profits pushes more businesses into this category.

There absolutely is a level of positive profit below which it makes more financial sense for investors to sit on their money.

Governments are aware of this and set their taxation policies accordingly. That is why long-term capital gains usually have a relatively low tax rates. There is a high drag on expected ROI due to inflation and risk that makes many of those investments unattractive ceteris paribus.

Ask HN: Are There Any Layered Graph Layout Algorithms in Active Development?
Hello,

I've been researching layered graph algorithms, but it appears that this market is mostly inactive at the moment.

Dagre (https://github.com/dagrejs/dagre) is considered outdated, with a codebase from 2015 that is no longer being updated, although they still accept some pull requests.

KLAY (https://github.com/kieler/klayjs) has been succeeded by ELK, and development stopped in 2016.

ELK (https://github.com/kieler/elkjs) is currently being developed by the KIELER Project, mostly by students and professors, written in Java. They are doing a great job, but the library is written in Java and then transpiled to JavaScript. They also rely on students for help with the development, which makes progress slow.

Do you happen to know of any new projects that are actively addressing this problem?

The body knows how to prioritize. I'm a terrible sleeper. Change positions all the time, always too warm or too cold, wake up and need to go to the washroom, think about an itch and suddenly it gets unbearable etc.

So then a broken collarbone. And can only sleep in one position and getting into and out of bed is excruciatingly painful. And nothing itches, temperature is OK, sleep, if anything, better than usual because a lot of the usual things just aren't worth it, you know it took a lot of trouble to get into position just so and things aren't painful if you don't move, so make the most of it.

> preferrably outside human audible range

With any lossy audio compression algorithm, everything outside the human audible range is filtered away completely as a first step. That's compression 101.

Also there's much less bandwidth in the audio channel than the video channel, and then far less again if you're trying to hide a signal in another signal.

Doubling university places for medicine would be a very sensible move - but it'll take ~7 years before all the new medics are ready to practice. That's two elections in the future.

On the other hand, if you can tempt a retired doctor back into practice? They'll be treating people before the next election starts.

Of course, I doubt it'll work - wasn't the retired-doctors silver bullet already fired, during the pandemic?
