> It's getting kind of frustrating that every time my hometown comes up, someone inevitably mentions this without bringing up any of the complexities as to why.

Maybe because it is true and that’s hard for you to face?

I didn’t grow up in Seattle, but I lived in the city for 25 years. The problems have only exponentially increased over the last decade. The pandemic didn’t help things either.

For all the posturing, Seattle doesn’t ACTUALLY want to fix anything. They want to do things that get them karma on social media, that keep politicians getting re-elected. Politicians, churches, average citizens, doesn’t matter. A dramatic change is needed in Seattle to make it better for everyone involved, but I don’t see that happening in my lifetime.

People went to the Moon and praised their god there, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch that humans in the past could be both competent and religious.
Yeah I find it ironic that the biggest proponents of what’s now called “intellectual property” are based where are they based, because they escaped high patents costs.

The 65k limit is because of the port limit. WebSocket is using the “trick” of opening a port without answering before the server have any news to give, this way the messages are more push-like.

How can this be fixed without more IP-addresses?
That's fair. A car that is in a collision is always at best as good as a car that has not been in a collision, whereas that's not the case with an employee who was terminated.

I was trying to get at where you don't need to trust someone else's judgement of something, you can just ... go look yourself. Or hire your own expert. Because why do those other things if they don't actually change the outcome?
It’s amazing that CSS has such advanced features that can do these things, but at the same time if you actually use them extensively and then I inherit your code, you kind of deserve a knifing.
Whisper is great, but I also wouldn't overlook other next-generation models (RNN-T/Zipformer/etc) trained on 50k+ hour datasets. These also perform very well.

That being said, Whisper is clearly a far cry from "intelligence". This should be clear when you feed it 5 seconds of silence and get hallucinated garbage in return. It's much more akin to compressing those huge datasets into something that can feasibly be run on recent hardware. That's not to downplay how impressive that is, just to draw a clear line between "compression" and "intelligence".
The figure that stands out for me is according to this one fossil fuel animation on YouTube they calculate we are using 100 times the amount of carbon that exists in all living creatures on the face of the earth every year.

That's food for thought... Even if we used all the forests and all the sea life we still wouldn't have enough energy. So we really need to be eat more efficient than natural systems.

Ok, but it’s fine to just ignore their petty naming arguments.
Orchestration also means something different these days for most film, TV and game composers compared to the traditional definition. Traditionally, orchestration would be taking a piano or short score and expanding it to be played by an orchestra. Nowadays, almost all media composers create full digital mock-ups of the music first with the entire orchestra and then some. Orchestration then is mostly a process of transcription, typesetting and adjustments for live ensemble so the recording and performance accurately conveys the intent. John Williams and Howard Shore are two of the old guard who write short scores with notes for the orchestrator about what to do. Nearly everyone else is writing for the full ensemble and orchestrating as they go. Then the orchestrators translate that to traditional music notation so it can be played.

Build more of something, and dare I say it, maybe let's let the market decide what and where.
Society at large.

When you paint faithful people as morons, primitive people as stupid, old fashioned people as out of touch, etc., kids and even younger adults are going to come to the logical conclusion.

We aren't even getting into the recent nonsense of declaring our histories as shameful pieces of shit to be revised and forgotten.

Elixir is well suited to highly concurrent systems and work like this. I'm big on the whole Elixir ecosystem though so I haven't explored other options.

I don't see why there would be anything stopping Go from being similarly capable as it also has a good reputation for concurrency and what I hear does preemptive scheduling.

Java can probably do anything except be fun and lightweight so assuming you want to figure out the hoops to jump through. I assume it could..

Elixir can do it with the ergonomics and expressiveness of Python/Ruby. If you enjoy that level of abstraction I recommend it.
Richard Stallman is right for some things and wrong on many others. His hit rate on naming is generally pretty bad.
But even that's a bit weird in the context of the kernel 6.2 release because Alyssa's work generally hasn't been around the Kernel, she's been working on the userspace driver.

It's Asahi Lina who really did the kernel driver (building on Alyssa's reverse engineering work).
I broke a 10 year spell of entrepreneurial failure with vase breathing, kaballah and rituals. I am an atheist. But there is something about the idea about the aether containing ideas which you can pluck from. Einstein and company were fond of it too. The mind is like a radio and all that. Point being, this year I had $4 million profits / taxable income. Pure rationality just wasn't enough.
It's even worse when you put contaminated plastics in the recycling bins because if a container load exceeds a certain threshold level of contamination the whole load has to be landfilled.

The more worrying thing here is the "circulate" part. Meaning that the lipid packages containing the mRNA sequences are traveling throughout the body, instead of staying at the injection site.

There's no such thing as "an older generation thing" when it comes to discrimination. The haves are innately aware and will fight to keep what they have versus the have-nots. We've got plenty of other examples all across Western society and culture, from Britain's royal family to right-wingers actively fighting against the teaching of history in the US.

And there your argument falls apart; vast majority can’t afford it. Policy you advocate has caused a housing shortage.

GPT saw a bunch of arithmetic and can repeat it. That’s the joke behind the Reddit usernames and /r/counting.

The four digit number thing is just the current lower bound of where it gets confused because a lack of training data.

Once you teach a patient 8 year old the rules of multiplication once, they can multiple any two numbers (that they’ve never seen before) with an arbitrary number of digits. An LLM cannot and will not ever be able to do that because it is a specific tool and it is not designed to do that (doing that would be a bad outcome for an LLM since we have different tools that can do multiplication much more efficiently).

So yes, if a LLM learns rules based math (which it is not intended to do) I’ll eat not only my, but every hat in existence.
Ah you're right, I misread that. Thanks! Even so: it's still good :) Because that means they hopefully lived for a very long time.
It should be by a sculptor with a terrible eyesight! The sculptor analogy predates the watchmaker one by like 2200 years and for some reasons is much less known these days than watchmaker one.

From THE MEMORABILIA by By Xenophon, https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1177/1177-h/1177-h.htm

“Socrates. But now if you had two sorts of things, the one of which presents no clue as to what it is for, and the other is obviously for some useful purpose—which would you judge to be the result of chance, which of design?
Ar. Clearly that which is produced for some useful end is the work of design.
Soc. Does it not strike you then that he who made man from the beginning (5) did for some useful end furnish him with his several senses—giving him eyes to behold the visible word, and ears to catch the intonations of sound? Or again, what good would there be in odours if nostrils had not been bestowed upon us? what perception of sweet things and pungent, and of all the pleasures of the palate, had not a tongue been fashioned in us as an interpreter of the same? And besides all this, do you not think this looks like a matter of foresight, this closing of the delicate orbs of sight with eyelids as with folding doors, which, when there is need to use them for any purpose, can be thrown wide open and firmly closed again in sleep? and, that even the winds of heaven may not visit them too roughly, this planting of the eyelashes as a protecting screen? (6) this coping of the region above the eyes with cornice-work of eyebrow so that no drop of sweat fall from the head and injure them? again this readiness of the ear to catch all sounds and yet not to be surcharged? this capacity of the front teeth of all animals to cut and of the "grinders" to receive the food and reduce it to pulp? the position of the mouth again, close to the eyes and nostrils as a portal of ingress for all the creature's supplies? and lastly, seeing that matter passing out (7) of the body is unpleasant, this hindward direction of the passages, and their removal to a distance from the avenues of sense? I ask you, when you see all these things constructed with such show of foresight can you doubt whether they are products of chance or intelligence?”

Then in «Against Physicists” by Sextus Empiricus this was cited as:

“Tell me, Aristodemus, are there some people you have admired for their wisdom? Yes, there are, he said. Who are they, then? Well, I have admired Homer for his poetry, Polyclitus for his sculpture, and Zeuxis of course for his painting. [93] And is it not because of the exceptional craftsmanship of their works that you approve of them? Yes, it is, he said. If Polyclitus’ statue, then, also took on life, would you not approve of the artist much more? Definitely. Well, given that when you saw a statue you said that it had been crafted by some skilled person, when you see a human being whose soul’s activity and whose body’s design are good, do you not think that he was crafted by some exceptional mind?”
I hate to be a naysayer, but if you really want something like this -- just use ipython.

You can put any python you want in a file and run $ipython -i main.py and it'll drop you in a shell with whatever you want in scope. It can load configs from your ~/config directory, have a command line history, use tab completion, and you can the full language to compose those operations and inspect your results.

> container orchestration layers are essentially glorified process supervisors.

There is a little more to container orchestration runtimes. Would say at this time they are akin to a badly designed, distributed linker (I'm saying this as someone who did not fully buy into this stuff, but I see that it solves some problems)

As Campbell asked, why has it been left to Danish researchers (who were doing Hepatitis C testing and decided to tack on an assay for covid jab mod-spike mRNA) to look into these questions? Why haven't Moderna or Pfizer undertaken large-scale studies of this type? Why haven't they been mandated by large regulatory agencies in the USA, UK, et al.; Japan; etc.? Why haven't well-funded researchers in those nations done similar work?

We're so far downstream from the initial rollout that nobody seems to recall the blanket assurances that all of the mRNA in the shots would be taken up and translated into modified spike proteins in a very short period given by health authorities and putative experts during the height of the coercion campaigns.

It's much the same as with the issue of biodistribution. Most have forgotten why we were promised the contents of one of these shots remained at the injection site and how the practice of aspiration of the needle (done in Denmark, after concerns were raised, but rarely done elsewhere) was pooh-poohed. The same individuals and entities preached the stays-in-the-arm gospel and derided anyone who raised concern or produced research results indicating wider distribution, via the vasculature, throughout recipients' bodies.

The same people who promulgate the idea that VAERS and the Yellow Card system and analogous institutions are now honeypots for fake reports from Russian bots or the "Science Truster' bogeyman du jour.

Oh well. Spilled milk at this point. The revelations will continue to trickle out for the foreseeable future. Turnover in the upper echelons of regulatory and funding bodies and in academic biomed research will gradually loosen more tongues. Eventually, there may be large lawsuits and settlements. We will see.
Do you mean to imply that their savings accrued faster than they were spending?

If so then yes, that would be an indication that they are saving too much, it could also be an indication that your social security system is paying a lot of money to people that technically do not need it.
Thank you so much, finally got it!
Honestly, what matters is (a) what you're going to be doing with those connections and (b) your hardware.

As a generalization (again, really depends what you're going to be doing), I'd expect people to get a lot further with a Go or Java based implementations. Specifically, if those connections are interacting with each other in any meaningful way, I think shared data is still too useful to pass up.

Take some pain reliever and chew on it...

Also maybe modern times is most commonly known as like the last 2k years or so. Egyptians and Mayans and Olmec and so many other cultures have left fingerprints of their engineering prowess. Listen to Graham Hancock with earnest and you'll have a mystery on your hands.
One could also argue that if they win it will be because a majority of the Court doesn't "understand".
The paid off house is not as much of an anomaly where they live in the midwest compared to on the coasts, to be honest. In the area homes range from $50-120k today, and in the wider region even the palatial guilded era estates in the rich gentry suburb are going for about $125 a sq foot or so.

Of course, they ended up on good circumstances to make all of this possible, but imo these circumstances they ended up with aren't all that rare especially in the area they live. The returns could backfire, sure, but there are investment strategies that are pretty safe too. I think robinhood is offering 4.15% on cash currently, for example.
I used to follow them with enthusiasm. Then I learned that the 4% rule applies to a thirty year retirement, not FIRE. Also these people have major blog income.

I FIRE'd with $850k without owning a primary residence. I spend like $800 a month. I would love to have blog income like them - it makes a huge psychological difference.

These days I believe that having a free and clear place to live really helps and that a 2.5% rule is more robust. What a surprise.
You can get an education and become smart, but not wise. Works for everyone, both believers and not.
Was it a reference to “Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion” by David Hume? That book debunked the arguments by design 50 years before the watchmaker parabola was written:

“If we survey a ship, what an exalted idea must we form of the ingenuity of the carpenter who framed so complicated, useful, and beautiful a machine? And what surprise must we feel when we find him a stupid mechanic who imitated others, and copied an art which, through a long succession of ages, after multiplied trials, mistakes, corrections, deliberations, and controversies, had been gradually improving?“

Similar experience, about twenty years ago I hung out briefly at David Holmgrens house (Melliodora) in Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Central Victoria (Hepburn Springs), followed by some WWOOFing experiences in Tasmania, where I returned to ten years ago.

My primary income is engineering focused still, and definitely glad I have that permaculture mindset.
And I prefer Ferraris. Too bad I can’t afford.
this is one of the biggest frustrations i have about "making the right choices" and any other instances where organisations/governments try to make it out like individual choice makes a dent in the actual problem space.

i could throw a piece of plastic rubbish every day on the street for the rest of my life - and it would still not put anywhere near a dent in the problem. All the while - technology companies continue to create un-repairable products, released at shorter time scales, whilst convincing people what they already have needs upgrading.

Fix the system first... :/

It is very weird that your precise case has to fit a couple of narrow criteria to be protected against discrimination in the US. From a moral perspective, discrimination is discrimination regardless of its grounds. The default position should be that it is illegal. This would avoid endless sterile discussion about whether this or that is a protected class.
I'm a long-time Linux user eyeing the M1 Mac somewhat. Why do you prefer MacOS a lot? My biggest fear is that I'll miss all the weird little things I got used to in my Linux setup.

Such as for example the cpu/ram/net/disk usage thing in the Gnome top bar. I have no idea whether there's something like that for Mac, and even if there was, I wouldn't know how to find it.
IP Backlog in answering connections all re-use the same port though.

Simply put: if you had a webserver answering on port 443 then the backlog will be a number of prepared slots that all eventually will have 443 in them as the local port for the connection. You can have as many of those as you want. But only one process gets to listen to port 443 on any given IP.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_sprawl

Los Angeles is the most infamous example, and you can look at its evolution here: https://la.curbed.com/2014/4/3/10121264/los-angeles-sprawl-h...

Sprawl isn't a derogatory term, it's a descriptive one. Likewise just because enclaves have a unique character and governance doesn't mean they're not the outcome of sprawl. Please don't find yourself so easily offended.

(I've got almost three years of experience in the LA area largely in a box comprised of Encino, Venice, DTLA, and Burbank, if it adds any credibility to the point. Certainly not a lifetime resident but enough to have my way memorized pretty much everywhere and know why my favorite little place is Sawtelle. Everything in that box is unique, but nevertheless... it's still sprawl)

Hope this helps.

I live in Australia and I'm very comfortable spending a lot less that $70k now. I think the gov and media like to inflate the numbers to try and scare people making sure they have a massive war chest.

I know plenty of people living pretty good lives on the age pension which is less than $30K.

If you have your own house, in good health, don't drink, smoke or play the pokies, you could enjoy your retirement on $30k easily.
Just not caste discrimination. No one who isn't from India or Bangladesh (and partially, Pakistan), has a slightest idea what a caste is and which of them are "better".
This hurt to read because it's so true. Not sure there's any good solution to these though as they ultimately stem from changing socioeconomic pressures.
