Coupled with the lack of builtin compression in contemporary PDF versions (and a strange but widespread aversion to gzipped pdf), perhaps, but then there shouldn’t be anything special about those particular companies. Maybe there isn’t, though, maybe that’s just where I come across mid-to-late-90s PDFs.
Lol right, OP's comment reminds me of a time I saw a dude arguing with someone on Facebook and his position was that only highly trusted research institutes can have dot org domains and if a website on a dot org domain says something then no matter what anyone else says it has to be the true and correct way.

So I registered his <first name><last name>.org and put "<first name> <last name> is an idiot." in just a single <h1> and deployed it.

He ended up deleting all his comments and blocking me but holy shit was it glorious. Best $10 I ever wasted.
So, no. The headline is clickbait and basically just wrong.

Communication is a skill I have to learn, master and use.

But the majority of the gains from such a skill go to the OTHER person (or people) I am communicating with.

If another team member communicates nothing, I am the one lacking information. If I communicate everything, I am no better informed than when I started.

It's a classic tragedy of the commons.

Without additives, your bread is hard and stale 24 hours from now. Are you willing and able to go buy bread every single day?

The base problem is, as with so many bad modern things, monopoly. There is no alternative I can choose. Without external forces, the system will converge to a single, optimized, industrial scale supplier who will converge to lots of additives.

If you don't want that, you have to break monopolies. And you probably have to be very aggressive doing so.

> it’s centerlessness all the way down

Well I didn't meant anything else actually. I realize that the «unconscious» term is tainted, as it can represent something like a hidden part of personality, especially on Freudian literature and likes.

I didn't meant that, I was thinking of the sum of the autonomous processing and coordination of the numerous intricate and distributed functions of the brain, senses, motor, emotional, etc…
> kick off an immune response that gets those cells killed.

I am not a scientist but I was to ask if this was the case for every vaccine, yet I reflected that no in pre-mRNA vaccines the principle is different: You body cells are not primed to produce an antigen. The antigen is brought externally and T-cells recognize it. They kill only infected cells.

If I understand correctly in mRNA vaccines, all cells produce the antigen (the spike protein) so they are indiscriminately killed by T-cells.

Is my understanding correct?
Gonna give this a try - I end up doing a lot of complicated data transforms in pandas for plotting purposes. Hopefully this can help out. And minimize the time having to spend labelling etc.

I was thinking in terms of the lack of an RTC on the Pi.

Maybe somebody could design and build some sort of Rolex HAT.

The RTC could be provided by the Rolex. The Rolex could be synced with NTP and wound/powered by the Pi.
It is like writing your name inside your jacket. It might help you in case of disputes or if it gets lost, but it doesn’t in itself change the ownership of the jacket.
This is a really interesting use of AI, and I think this has been a sought-after use case for a while. I recall the wave of "ML APIs" and auto-ML frameworks a few years ago that promised to use an ML model to automatically perform feature engineering, hyperparameter optimization, data cleaning, etc., but never caught on as tools the hands of non-experts.

However I'm surprised that this works in completely automated fashion. Given the fundamentally nondeterministic nature of language models, how do you ensure that the output is correct? Do you have a set of assertions that must become true about the data before the result is returned? How do you prevent the model from being too clever with your assertions, and replacing the data with all 0s or something similarly à la Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics (see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaround_(story))?
The physical layer is amazing, even from a historical point of view.
Pretty much this. Only would work on Germsny.

With that in mind, I always wondered if there was someone who would get paddled in school and would mock the principal for doing it, "You like spanking me big boy?".
I agree they are a greedy, reckless, exploitative corporation. I do think though their product is a net positive to society, even a net positive to the drivers class in general (taxi is basically mafia around here and Uber driving was used as a sort of safety job fallback for people that would be otherwise unemployed).
Degree in philosophy, and ... used to read this sort of stuff for fun 30 years ago. Now... it's just like Mary seeing red; "ho-hum". I remember reading some Churchland years ago - I may have even read some of this back and forth exchange in some class years ago. I sense that this is more an issue of language than ideas, and people talking past each other. When it happens in the moment - face to face, perhaps - it's... at least interesting. You can at least try to determine if people are misusing language/ideas, and rectify it in the moment. You can't do that with papers like this. It feels like reading a Gish gallop.
I had 8 AM classes last quarter, and my experience with attendance correlates with the study. Poor attendance by the students and droopy eyes in class, though most did well in the course. (Maybe I need to make the material more challenging! :) )

But I'm going to try not to start before 10 AM from now on, though I'm a 6-6:30 AM riser. The 10 AM to 2 PM timeslot seems to cover the most people.
I'm sure there's numbers, but a quick listicle says that most accidents are caused by distracted driving (e.g. using phones), reckless / aggressive driving, and driving drunk. Those aren't solved by automatic driving per se, but mitigated.

But then, aggressive drivers will be the last ones to put the autopilot on I'm sure, they're also the ones that will insist on the agency aspect of driving.
Oh, I'd hate to have you delete or edit anything. It can stand as a learning experience.

But i thought that in legal terms, "maintenance" is not a test for validity of copyright claim. For a non-software example: if Disney refused to apply any updates to their art, does that invalidate their copyright claims? I think one test is time of registering said copyright, and at least in the U.S., the mere moment that you publish a work, the clock starts on your copyright claim/holding (assuming there is no prior art). So, nah, i kind think that having art be "maintained" is not needed to be a valid copyrighted material....Of course, i am not a lawyer. ;-)

I had a professor in undergrad who scheduled his classes as early as possible, around 7:30am, because he was an early riser.

Notoriously known for difficult assignments and exams, he would allow extra time for tests, if we showed up an extra half hour early. Who wants to take an exam at 7am?! There was a massive curve to everyone’s grades.

Yeah, thats what i think too, thanks. Hoping for a miracle solution. And also i did google, and i understand that the schema will have to be provided, we can do that, but the actual data transfer is the pain point here. I tried one solution, Airbyte, locally, but its mongo support is in beta, and does not use a feature like WAL, etc.
> worked with the land to sustain themselves

Most evidence suggests the extent of land-work utilized by early Australians was controlled burns. There is a bit of a recent effort to promote the idea that they may have done extensive planting as well, but there's not much evidence for it. It also would have been kind of a waste of effort - the accessible food biomass was high enough for the relatively small population without planting.
I'm betting IKEA will have such a product in the next 1 or 2 years.

What a bogus argument. Auto braking doesn't replace the human.
I was just thinking yesterday that it would be nice to have the feeling of a tactile detent or similar when the car reaches the posted speed limit that requires pushing through. Most of the time my car knows the speed limit through its own maps or CarPlay. The cruise control speed already changes its color if the limit is exceeded.

Just that subtle hint that the speed limit has been reached would likely keep me near the limit most of the time. I don’t even want it to prevent me from exceeding the speed limit.

This doesn’t help with the 95% of other cars that don’t know the speed limit, but it has to start somewhere. It seems odd that my car has redundant features and alerts for avoiding speed traps and traffic cameras, but little to actively help me stay within posted traffic rules.

Knowing your limits is good advice. Equally good is knowing the limits (and motives) of those you might defer to.

Even if one assumes them to be relatively honest brokers, the guidance issued by a government agency is (at its best) guidance intended to minimize the possibility of societal collapse, which may or may not also correlate with your attempts to maximize prevention of contracting an infectious disease that may kill you.

Yes, auto-brake technology is catastrophically bad in its current half-implemented state.

I assure you that false collision alarms are causing accidents that aren't being accounted for, some of them serious. Just as with first-generation airbags that did more harm than good to children and properly-belted passengers, it'll take a while for the actuaries and statisticians to catch up with how modern cars are actually behaving on the road. At that point a cynic might predict (or even hope for) the trial lawyers to take it from there.

Last to catch on will be the legislators who have mandated auto-braking tech without imposing strict performance and reliabilty standards.
There’s quite a spectrum between a 10-20min almost daily habit and trying to actually reach “enlightenment”. These 10 day silent retreats are a lot closer to the Bodhidharma sitting in a cave end of the spectrum. Probably not the first people to go a little crazy attempting that in Buddhist history. Given the context I would imagine it’s mostly overachievers but that is not really a healthy approach to religion or mental health (going hard as a mf)
Reminds me a lot of Overtraining Syndrome (OTS), the condition where your body stops responding positively to the stress of endurance sports and essentially stops recovering quickly. A 20 mile run no longer makes you faster, instead the fatigue from it just settles inside your body.

I remember reading that while training for an ironman and getting a bit spooked. But then I realized that the folks who suffer from OTS are taking it to such an extreme. This article reminded me a lot of that - it sounds like you can take anything too far. At the 99.99th percentile, probably any healthy activity can become an obsessive act that can ruin your life. But anywhere in between the 50th and 99th percentile it's probably still a good thing.

I'll probably continue to include copyright notices and years regardless of legal necessity, but I've never lost sleep over it or put a lot of effort into it. It just seems like a "does no harm, and may clarify things" sort of deal.

This is pretty much the advice of my attorney. "It's not legally required, but I can imagine situations where it could be useful anyway. If it doesn't cost you anything, why not include it?"
> That’s because people want to live in low rise buildings.

> The average person in California (and in the rest of the country) desires to live in a detached home that they own.

Then why is it necessary for LA and other localities to make it literally illegal to build denser housing? After all, if detached single family homes are what people want, then surely simple supply and demand will lead to that being what's predominantly built, right?

(Spoiler: Single family homes aren't what everyone wants. Plenty of people want other types of housing. People pushing these zoning rules aren't doing it because _they_ want single family homes - they're doing it because they want control over what type of home is available to others.)

I regularly ran it with multiple extensions and 400 - 600 open tabs and didn't feel Chrome was better.

And I'm the kind of person who can start a 2 hour troubleshooting session over a few tens of milliseconds unexpected lag.

Edit: maybe Chrome was hopeless with multiple tabs or maybe one of the older memory saver extensions was so much better it made up for it, or maybe it just matched my hardware/SW at the time extremely well (high end HP laptops with Windows or Linux), or maybe it was just a feeling, I don't know. But I know I spent a significant part of my work day in the browsers and Firefox felt significantly better even when I wanted to try the then new and cool Chrome.
Thank you!

Do you have any suggestions for how the formatting could be better? Is there something outright broken in how it displays in your browser, or is something simply sub-optimal?

Even though the 7nm number is kind of meaningless these days it is still useful to compare the scale.

The flip chip bumps on the top metal layer interface to the outside world. Then they get distributed out to the pins of the package which connect to the socket on the motherboard.

Socket AM4 has 1331 pins. Socket SP5 for the Epyc has 6096 pins. I've worked on some chips with over 10,000 bump/pins.

A modern chip has over 16 metal layers, with multiple via layers in between and probably another 40-60 base layers with the transistors. The technology to align the masks for each layer is on the nanometer level. In contrast the bumps for the chip to package are in the hundreds of micron level.

If we just go with 130 microns / 7 nanometers = 18,571 less precise for the alignment of the package vs alignment of the next mask layer while making the chip.

So it is certainly impressive to line up chips on the package but nowhere close to the precision for the mask layers

But Mary does have all this data in her room - she knows every last interaction of wavelength to eyeball to neurons from her studies.

What doesn't Mary know in her room? You're proposing that you can codify that in some special (data-fied, 'factual') way that she couldn't possibly have access to in her room.

What is that codification, then? Be specific.

If you (we) can't do that, then aren't we just lunatics screaming and uttering and pointing at conscious experience with no ground?

You don’t get to decide the definitions of terms. Historical revisionism is BY DEFINITION the reinterpretation of history. Which as you have admitted, is exactly what 1619 is doing. Therefore 1619 is historical revisionism.

If you dare to say that 1619 is wrong, you get tagged with the “racist” term like you just did to me. Even though I’m a liberal that calls out bullshit when I see it.

PDF's have virtually always embedded fonts except for a small collection of core fonts like Times New Roman that are part of the PDF standard. You've got to really go out of your way not to embed, and I'm not sure which software even gives you that option at all.

Otherwise it's kind of defeating the whole purpose of a PDF which is that everybody sees the same thing. Font embedding has been with PDF from the start.

It's safe.
This transition from junior to senior includes another important skillset: balancing social dynamics against engineering realities.

The key is illustrated in the book club parable: The elitism is directed outside of the group and becomes only a means of alleviating the fear of judgement for misjudging the paper. The grad student's approach clearly communicates the socially agreed upon reality: the whole paper is crap. This stance and boundary provides a clear decision space to the learning junior members: "if you think you see a mistake, those here will be happy to hear it; no sacred cows".

Bringing this practice into a situation where the target is a member of the group's work changes the dynamics such that you have to mind your Ps and Qs again -- and so, dampens learning.
I'm not sure that's true, at least based on personal experience. I'm a long-time night owl who has been getting up relatively early for work purposes the last couple of years. I still do my best work late at night and struggle a little on complex tasks before noon.

It seems like, while I can adjust my sleep schedule to whatever, the actual cycles of alertness have their own schedule that doesn't want to move.
The best thing that my PhD advisor did to/for me was to make me review papers (as part of the peer review process).

By having to critically analyze someone else's work, I learned what I needed to do to meet that criteria myself.

And, in case you are curious, the first few reviews, he read through and challenged my reviews personally, and pointed out things that I missed. After that, I was on my own.

In short: if you want your students to write better comments, then make them critically examine the comments of open-source projects. Their use of comments will improve. Ditto for code structure, proof analysis, test writing, etc.
Afaik you actually need much more. About 400GB just to load the trained model according to this tweet thread: https://twitter.com/tomgoldsteincs/status/160019698195510069...
I am not quite sure how reliable the source is, but it makes sense that you at least need to store the 175 billion parameters that define the model in VRAM. I know that for a short-ish while GPUDirect storage is a thing, so that could help for sure, but it would definitely impact execution time as well.
I always understood the option, but seems like a little color would go a LONG way in making them much more usable? I never got around to paying attention to them and I think that's why.
So? There are no better alternatives at the moment.
