These are fair points but they are individual rather than systematic. Was in the hospital with my mom a few weeks ago, in NYC. The amount of equipment, procedure, etc she received was orders of magnitude beyond that which she would have gotten in the USSR where she grew up, and most places today.

For every piece of equipment, mobile bed, ekg, sensor, sample etc - here's a company that makes that stuff, efficiently and at scale. They are driven by the fact that hospitals buy this stuff, which is in part driven by the patients and insurance ability to pay. Money makes this stuff go round.

And yes a homeless person walking into the ER gets a benefit out of all this stuff for free - but only because everyone else pays for them. If nobody paid for it, it wouldn't exist.
My mother and stepfather actually attended that class on one of their road trips. It was a highlight of their retirement travels!

Way to pull out one sentence while ignoring the rest of the comment. Inflation had been a problem long before Carter. Neither Nixon (with his disastrous price controls) nor Ford (with his WIN campaign) was able to solve it. Volcker was appointed in 1979 to the end of Carter's term. He encountered fierce resistance when he jacked up rates the way he did (in full point incremenents), because the economy tanked. He would not have been able to hold the coarse had he not been given the room to do so. It took a good decade before inflation reached anywhere near zero. It was not easy, because the fed fund rates is a coarse instrement to use to bring inflation. It's not a dial that can be dialed up and down. You are merely waving a tribalistic flag while ignoring the details.
Automatic looms probably wouldn't have been possible without the lessons learned by skilled weavers (not to mention the mechanics building them) either.

Capital formation is always and everywhere painful for labor (see: medieval enclosure, the American frontier/genocide, the Great Leap Forward, the triangle trade, and many others). This is obviously really really bad but so far we haven't devised a workable, lasting way to systemically stop the ownership class from doing it to us.
>I see it as the meat and potatoes of the war. The middle and end.

Are you saying an attempted or successful blockade would end a war? I disagree.

I think any country that has seriously considered a war with the US as a likely eventuality knows targeting the US mainland is a top priority as far as countermeasures go.

American residents not being in the vicinity of the true cost of war is a tremendous privilege that wont be allowed to continue indefinitely, I expect this is why long range hypersonic missile development is only ramping up.

In all seriousness an explanation I've seen banded around that seemed far more plausible is that it's an obsolete evolutionary mutation. Once we moved to farming and tribes/society, we no longer needed people who could stay up all night and be able to notice something miniscule like leaves ruffling in the distance
I agree that a "rogue lab" is silly, but there is an incentive to use old stock before it goes bad but after the rotation has switched to a new drug.
There was a recent article in nature (I think) that talked about dislexia and adhd as being allowed by evolution because in larger tribes or civilizations it provided a benefit for the tribe/civilization to have people with those specializations despite the downsides.

I will say that my hyperfocus as a software developer was almost all upside until I had to support multiple efforts. The talking over people lack of time management and tendency to focus on the most fun task at hand were all things my good managers could work around and forgive.
None of that is necessary. Nowadays common consumer web hosts allow you to install Wordpress with a click. Actually most of them provide specialized WordPress hosting that comes with WP preinstalled and with a lot of optimization. (most of them are managed).
Yes, I define the long term goal to be attending university and take it backwards from there.
I would like to avoid the kid moving nations at age 18 to attend a university abroad.

The parallel is that I am aiming at something below excellence and how the world is changing.I think the paths of the past are npt necessarily as rigid any more, some things have changed and fully copying others success paths does not guarantee results, there should be some flexibility I think.

Looking back at the way its changed since I finished education, things are changing slow, only Covid made an artificial push forcing companies to start accepting remote intverviews from a to z and remote work.

Yes, this happens. So be very much on your guard about this and make sure that you trust whoever you talk to and if you can't trust them then you can ask a trusted party to do the review for you and pass that to whoever claims to be interested.

There are many variations to this kind of 'vendor dd', you can prepare it beforehand or you can push to have the process modified until it is to your liking depending on how desirable you are.
Me neither. In the VLA use cases page he does that with multidimensional array too.

int (*arr)[n][m] = malloc(sizeof *arr);

which you have to access with

(*arr)[i][j]

I prefer doing

int (*arr)[m] = malloc(n*sizeof(*arr));

though this separates m and n to be one on left side while the other on the right side, it allows me to index directly

arr[i][j]

Is Medium not considered a good option anymore?
Solution: a trilateral agreement between the US, China and Russia that the intelligence establishments of each major power be progressively destroyed, leaving a world without large-scale state-sponsored secrecy.

Official secrecy is the ultimate weapon in any authoritarian regime. No illegitimate government can survive without it.

To be sure, private actors can attempt to retain secrets, but they simply do not have the resources to destroy the world in the way that even a small nation (let alone a nuclear superpower) does.

If this sounds impractical, take the New START treaty as a model. Let's have fully open teams of international inspectors that monitor the number of spies employed at the CIA HQ in Langley, VA, at the Ministry of State Security in Beijing, and at FSB HQ in Moscow. These agencies, and all others like them, should be progressively dismantled in lockstep, on a timetable set by treaty. The files they all keep should be made open to the public and used to teach future generations that secrecy itself is a weapon that repeatedly brought humanity to the point of self-annihilation.

And yes, this same process needs to happen with the world's war departments as well. Call me a dreamer if you want, but at least I'm not on the side of more killing.
Modern society isn't some Mendelian pea experiment. And using the "one could argue" trope is really not helpful and could be construed as incendiary...

It is. Normally you only do that after you agree on the terms and that means there is a deal unless something horrible is found during DD. And if your code is terrible simply disclose it then likely the requirement will go away. But if you claim it is super good but you only have juniors on staff you can expect to be quizzed.
I don't know. It's a spectrum. There are certainly a lot of countries in the world that are a lot worse on that measure.

Not that that never happens, but engineering time is not cheap even at Gitlab scale. Even if you manage to recreate the product based on the insider info it's still a risky process; new products fail all the time, especially if they are new entries in an already filled market.

It's much quicker and often not that much more expensive (after you tally up all the engineering and marketing costs and adjust for the risk of failure) to acquire a company that already has a working product, customers, marketing, documentation and usually you get a team of domain experts included in the purchase.
The gateway is US project and to get there depends on an absurdly expensive delusional dumb rocket that the US is financing. At best Europe will launch a tiny part on it and get a few seas.

But reality is all that SLS/Orion stuff will continually be delayed and eventually canceled.

Setting your hopes on the future on the Gateway project, is a terrible, terrible idea. Gateway was never considered a good idea by most of the people interest in space. Its basically mostly done to give allies of the US something to do, so they can feel good about themselves while SpaceX solves the actual problems.
> but there is one specific area that we shouldn't give them control over.

This is a bit like encountering an engineer who isn’t very good (or maybe it’s just a lack of experience) and then concluding that the engineering org should not be allowed to control architecture based on that experience.

Or encountering a dev team who goes off and builds some complex feature that no one asked for and then concluding that dev teams should never have a say in what should be built.

The existence of bad PMs or bad devs (or good PMs/devs executing a misguided plan) shouldn’t be used to justify a general sweeping argument about either discipline.
Using archaic latin terms doesn't really strengthen your argument for linguistic evolution.

However, for certain using plurals for individuals of unknown gender is hardly rare, there are hundreds of examples in literature a quick Google away.

It has become (somewhat) popular in the context particularly of discussions on trans rights and 'misgendering' to take the position that the singular they is somehow ungrammatical because people don't want to use it to refer to people whose gender they believe is not unknown.

But it seems to me as though that argument is actually not related to the current discussion.

Here we are simply discussing whether 'they' can be used to refer to a person whose gender is unknown to the speaker at the time, for which there is ample historical, literary evidence that this is commonplace in English, as well as the anecdotal evidence from sibling comments.

I disagree because history has shown this is the way it goes. For example, it did happen for gay men to a large extent in the western world. This is a gross generalisation for the sake of discussion on here, but until recent decades almost all gay men had to hide and needed spaces where they could just be themselves with like minded and mostly gay people. The outside world eventually changed and then these spaces became more open to non gay people. Not everyone in those communities was happy with that but many felt it was the price to pay for general acceptance and improved equality. See what happened to the Castro area gay bars in S.F. and the debates about the fact that they became popular with straight people once being gay became accepted in general society.

The idea isn’t that marginalised groups should hide and not mingle at all but that they should have a refuge they can retreat to because the outside world is too harsh right now.
The 4090 is the only GPU that does ray tracing well enough to bother to enable it.
I guess I'm coming at it from the opposite direction. Lets assume the some entity creates AGI. Which entity would you rather it be?

1. Government - it'll prolly be hidden from the public under the garb of national security, and used for god knows what

2. For-profit companies - Google, Meta, MS, etc who have shown themselves to be untrustworthy and purely motivated by profits

3. Non-profit companies - OpenAI (and others?) who have explicitly made the commitment to optimize for long-term benefit, safety, and cooperation [1]

I'm not saying there is a right answer, but the non-profit route seems like the least worst option.

> Non-profit or not, AGIs shouldn’t be controlled by anyone.

I don't see that ever playing out in the real world. It is much too powerful a tool to be made accessible to everyone.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion, this is actually worth considering, I speak the language(courtesy of the Swiss education system) and had some job offers from France before, they looked interesting, just a bit too remote of life for my taste.

> Giving the acquirer the cap table early on seems to go against the advice I've seen

The cap table tells a story about the company. For starters it identifies the decisionmakers. More importantly, a hairy complex cap table says an acquisition process may be difficult and unpredictable. A straightforward cap table is like a well maintained roof on a house. It doesn't prove that the rest of the company is in order, but its highly correlated

Start by sending a summary cap table of major holders with the breakdown among classes of stock

Possibly, but there are a handful of synthetic compounds that aren't in the "book of life," as it were, and it would therefore be a large evolutionary leap for bacteria to develop the necessary machinery to metabolize those compounds or synthesize counter-agents.

Certainly not implying it's impossible, the rate at which bacteria reproduce gives ample opportunity for mutational evolution, so relative to more complex organisms they are well positioned to develop immunities to novel synthetics. But it isn't necessarily guaranteed that the mechanism exists for it to happen.
Certainly there is that possibly, problem is where he stemmed his research from - biblical text.

He used dates and accounts of ancient myths for many of his data points.

Combing the bible over and over for clues, wasting much of his talent and decades on false leads.

I forget what the numbers were, but the Dreamcast needed every single console owner to buy something like 4 controllers each with their own rumble pack and VMU and then about a dozen games.

But then Sega had to go full fucking Sega and the Dreamcast had a fishing controller, a microphone, keyboard, mouse, light gun, and fucking maracas.

they recovered “low-level COER” mutants, maybe they can’t reproduce?

Edit: oh MIC is “minimum inhibitory concentration” so they only saw survivors with low levels of antibiotic.

Still, it seems reasonable to be skeptical, just because their tests did not find resistance does not prove it will never happen
This is what we call the Myth of the Profit Motive that underpins a lot of capitalist propaganda. The myth here is that nothing happens without the profit motive.

Another commenter mentioned insulin. Despite insulin being invented 100 years ago and the IP being given away for $1 to benefit people, we're still paying outrageous prices for insulin in the USofA even with supposedly limited patent life. The system has been successfully gamed and government bought so that people can be charged $1000/month for something necessary to live that costs a fraction of that to produce.

A lot of pharma is like this: pharmaceutical companies primarily spend on marketing and lobbying. A huge chunk of the so-called innovation actually happens with Federally funded research in universities that we just give away to a company to profit from.

If you accept that "our medicine is amazing", what about pretty much every other developed nation giving universal access to health care? Our outcomes (eg life expectacy) are generally worse because we restrict access only to those with money.

> I chose Grav ... Been happy forever after.

I'm inclined to agree that Grav is a good choice, but it still has the exact same fault as other software out there, notably updates sometimes randomly breaking things in odd ways: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/grav-is-bro... (note: typically you shouldn't run software updates inside of containers due to their immutable nature and instead just run a newer version of the container, but if you're working with persistent volumes then there's also really nothing preventing you from doing so)

Of course, if you don't update it, you'll eventually run into security related issues, which is more or less inevitable whenever you expose anything with write access (even when it is technically protected by an username and password; our industry still keeps getting basic things wrong all the time), as opposed to fully static assets: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/grav-securi...

Personally, I will probably keep using Grav for the foreseeable future, maybe even some day carry over the theme customizations that I use as well as all of my content to a more recent version, but for now I'm stuck on a comparatively old version that's thankfully a bit locked down at the web server level. Don't get me the wrong way, WordPress will be even worse in regards to both updates and security, I've seen entire sites be brought down because of a single plugin needing an update that's no longer compatible with something else.
>That's largely Nvidia marketing spin.

Hardly, every game I play now has RT and RDNA2 is crap at it. It was their first go at it sure, but RDNA2 is also what the consoles have to put up with so the subpar raytracing performance had an outsized effect on the industry.

>RT in games during RDNA2's lifetime, and even today, is little more than a gimmick

Absolutely, categorically false.

>that is barely noticeable while actually playing.

This is not true in the slightest.

>It isn't even real ray tracing.

It's true that raytraced effects is not _full path tracing_. It still makes an enormous visual difference via things like RTGI.

>And even further, even on the RTX parts, using RT usually requires rendering at a much lower resolution and then upscaling.

Yes, this is another area AMD was way behind and recently almost caught up. DLSS2.x is amazing, letting me render at 1440p scaled to 4K with an output that _exceeeds_ 4K native quality in many games/contexts (thanks to 4K native also running TAA, which has other issues).

>With DLSS3, they just go ahead and start inserting extrapolated frames to get the FPS numbers up

You're using outdated terms. DLSS3.x includes _both_ the 2.x image upscaling tech and DLFG (deep learning frame generation) that was previously called "DLSS3". DLFG is an optional feature of the 3.x SDK that's only supported on 4000 series GPUs. DLFG also works very well, and both initial reviews and user feedback on reddit has been overwhelmingly positive.

>It's hard to believe gamers are willing to make that trade to be honest.

What trade?

>If it was pitched together as all one package many years ago, they'd have been laughed out of the room.

This entire post just seems like AMD cope, rather than a fair evaluation of the current state of RT. RDNA3 upped RT performance significantly but it's still not enough.
