Unions provide important balance to the relationship between labor and capital but public sector unions negotiate not against capital but against the public.

Moreover, the balancing force to union demands is that too many demands will kill the company and thus the union, so the union ultimately has a shared interest in the health of the company. Public sector unions have no such incentive.

Public sector unions benefit their members at the expense of everyone else, and should be considered a defect of the union system.

Depending on the studio, they can be much more than a limited partner. They can be providing the facilities to office out of for pre-production and development, the actual production work using their soundstages and other properties, and to do post-production.
For a simple blog, micro.blog hits all of those points. It’s very non scammy.
Accurate. This cycle is a big part of the reason why I don't like situations where I have developers context switching constantly. I find that this doesn't happen unless I'm absorbed in a single problem.
You can only assert that it's "shrinking" or "growing" over a given period of time. It may have been shrinking over the last 5min while at the same time it has grown over the last hour. For a time window small enough, it has not changed, because getting 1 input or 1 output is a punctual event. For a time window large enough, it has necessarily grown, if it started empty.

So I disagree entirely with "it's either shrinking or growing". It is both growing, shrinking, and stable, at the same time, over different horizons, and I have no idea what law you are trying to state.

The link you provided above is a really good primer based on serious math, I don't understand how you think it supports your vague claims.
How Big Will AI Models Get?
It does seem made up. I think it should be backed up with references. Also, it's really unhelpful for OP's question.

It's perfectly normal for men to earn less than their SO. Statistically it would be the case in 50% of couples, in an ideal world with gender equality.

Also, in any relationship, there will be moments where one person is out of work and dependent on the other (laid off, take care of kids, take care of parents, burnout, etc).

> Since decoder-only transformer memory requirements scale with the square of sequence lengths, things would probably slow down significantly for very long sequences, which would be required for a back-and-forth conversation.

You can use tricks to keep the sequence length down even if the conversation goes on for a long time. For example, you can use the model to summarize the first n-1 lines of the conversation and append the last line to the summary as is.
You're being overly pedantic. They define how they're using it (as a SIMD-capable compute unit) in the article:

> Each WGP, or workgroup processor, features four SIMDs. [...] Each SIMD has 32-wide execution units for the most common operations, a 128 KB vector register file, and can track up to 16 wavefronts.

Even when compressing thje JSON before encoding it, it's still way too long for a shareable link.

The US cannot turn against immigration, period. "Afford" doesn't enter into it. The Latino voting bloc, growing every day, votes against immigration reduction (or even enforcement, via sanctuary cities) out of ethnic solidarity. Indians likewise lobby for more immigration from India.

That's no surprise - while only 15% of Whites see their race as very or extremely important to their identity, that number is 56% for Asians, 59% for Hispanics, and 74% for Blacks [1].

The simple reality is Whites will become a minority [2] in what was an 84% White country as recently as 1970 [3]. Will they be treated with gratitude for sharing their country, and so can afford to act colorblind, forsaking racial solidarity? Is gratitude what they're being shown now?

Or will that leave them as individualists in a country dominated by inter-group competition, as current polls suggest?

I’d do it all in the AWS console with Lambda and DynamoDB. Ask ChatGPT for some boilerplate with the v3 AWS SDK API.

There’s a few AWS-sponsored workshops. It’s pretty cheap for low/medium usage.

Amplify is a nice wrapper and will give you some level of authorization if you’d like (using AWS cognito underneath).

Like you say everyone will be biased towards what they know.

^ my tendency is to take detailed steps using the console so that it’s possible to reproduce. And avoid infrastructure as code until you really need it.
This. Great link that shows the RR car spewing sparks miles before the spill.
I am sure this is true for some people in some situations, but the sweeping arrogance of this makes me kinda mad:

> any creation happens in isolation without any signals or external validation until it’s complete. [...] Any idea or creative work you can think of happens in silence. [...] This isolation happens in all fields: movies, music, literature, or product development.

This is just factually false.

A really obvious counterexample is improvisational theater. The creation happens as a team activity in front of an audience. It's absolutely rich with signals. There's nary a pause, let alone silence. The same is obviously true with musical improvisation. And the creation of recorded music can also be deeply collaborative. [1]

If you talk with stand-up comedians about their process, they get ideas from all over, but workshopping material with live audiences is a vital part of the process of creation. Movies have storyboards and read-throughs and dailies and reshoots and intense cross-disciplinary collaboration and iteration. [2] Literature has writing groups and readings and editors and friends who read drafts.

In product development, we have prototypes and user tests and continuous release and instrumentation and cross-functional teams and short-cycle processes, all of which can drive creativity if we choose.

Do some people need silence to create? Sure. Bless them. For those that experience periods of silence, can that be a struggle? Definitely. But the notion of a noble solo genius high on his mountain creating great things is more myth than reality, and it can be a harmful one because it makes a lot of people think they can't be creative, when instead they just need a richer environment.

I was a lead at a startup that was acquired and the acquisition process would have probably sunk us if the acquisition had not gone through.

We were in the middle of raising our next round when the offer came through. The founders and the board decided to accept the offer but it was still contingent on due diligence. While going through the due diligence process all funding conversations had to stop. Luckily we were small so the due diligence process only took 2 months but we had to tighten our belts. If the acquisition had fallen through, we would’ve been in real trouble because we burned 2 months of cash and would have needed to line up funding quickly.

Poverty has been linked to obesity for a while now, feel free to google it. It's a form of malnutrition, not a form of food abundance, poverty doesn't mean you can't buy food, it means you probably are more prone to looking for a quick feel good food because the rest of your existence isn't very fulfilling, it means you probably don't have a fully equipped kitchen, it means you can't afford fresh food, it means you're more likely to buy processed food of dubious nutritional value, &c.

When you say "They are being picked", do you mean that they are being picked for immigration purposes?

The point of the parent is that it is hard for a random Indian to immigrate to the Netherlands, that they must show some skill or ability in order to gain entry.

The argument is that the Netherlands can afford their social net because they do not have an endless stream of people coming asking for benefits. So by limiting the amount of immigration, the Netherlands is acting like a gated community.

A further argument along these lines would be, if you do not feel that the Netherlands is acting as a gated community. Should the Netherlands open it's social programs to people not in the Netherlands? i.e. Should Americans or Mexicans be allowed to apply and receive benefits from the Netherlands even though they have no tie to the Netherlands?

Really nice project!

I'm looking for CAD libraries for our project at bldrs.ai and have been considering replicad.

Could you describe the relationship with OpenCascade/OCJS.org and also the other projects using it. Replicad is listed on their README as one of 4 design tools using it. CascadeStudio and your project seem to be similarly targeting general use scripting. Are you in touch, with any thoughts on how to collaborate?

I'm also curious How do you see the health of OpenCascade. The last commit 8 mo ago and their issues look like it's getting difficult to build. But I understand it's also a singularly valuable open-source CAD kernel.

Thanks, any thoughts appreciated!
Market moves in cycles. This is temporary.
"Surprise" could be interpreted a few different ways. Here's an example to elaborate:

- Company being acquired ("Target") built a web based application in the mid-2000's using VB.NET and each client installed the software. It requires a desktop widget to be installed at their clients locations to talk back to the VB.NET web backend. In 2016 they switched their licensing model from perpetual license to subscription and now the web application is hosted by the target and not the clients.

- Target tells acquirer they have a "SaaS" application.

So, now its a VB. NET web app with single tenants hosted on the Target's data centers. Not untenable, but the acquirer was probably expecting a multi-tenant SaaS web app in a more generally supported web framework.

And, yes I've absolutely seen this case (or something very similar) in the wild.

I had the same issue with one of my sites. I activated CF owasp ruleset and all hell broke lose (it took a while to backtrack, aka down the rabbit hole I went).

Police Kill an Unknown Number of Americans
Law enforcement agencies across the country are failing to provide us with even basic information about the lives they take.

It implies that layoffs are hitting non-supervisory non-managers more than line supervisors; but “management” includes non-supervisory specialist managers, and middle and upper management above the line level, all of which could be hit more than line supervisors and those they supervise. (Ideally, not enough to really make a difference in this effect – but an overload of non-line, particularly middle and specialist, management is not an uncommon organizational disease.)

Yep for sure. Asset inflation caused by things like quantative easing, the poorly-implemented covid furlough scheme and various other 'trickle up' economic policies over the decades, helped to fuel the rampant wealth inequality we see now.
