> it's a specific formula that applies equally to everyone.

That doesn’t mean the formula is reasonable or transparent. An AI is also a specific formula that applies equally to everyone. It’s about how the formula takes “weight” on the individual’s differences.

> There are hard inquiries and soft inquiries

Why there are “hard inquiries”? Why someone else inquiring my credit score should affect my credit score?
Now that's impressive.

1h40m for it though..., that's an extra 1h15m for just 800mph more. With some tweaking of your initial launch angle (get it somewhere between 40-60° rather than 0° which is what I'm assuming yours was, correct me if I'm wrong), plus maybe a second fine-tuning once you reach apolune, I'd guesstimate you could make 25000mph in ~3000 seconds.
a lot of the community was already using it. plus you can easily overide it.
It seems like the kind of defaults that should depend on the visibility of the meeting. Public -> No webcams and muted by default, normal -> webcams and mics.

It has nothing to do with "government", except I suppose that it is "of the people" and the people, in aggregate, are "dumb" (actually: people know about the domains that matter to them, and not others).

That being said: almost every day at least one meeting causes me to wonder just how much of the GDP is lost in these teleconference handshake failures. That's something I'd like to see an economics paper on.

That’s not incredibly surprising in older adults or people with chronic diseases - it probably just means that the intervention needs to happen much earlier.

Meshes with other studies I’ve read, like that people who were fitter in middle age have lower risk of alzheimers - so if you did an RCT of getting elderly people to do more exercise you’re not going to see much effect, since you’re not getting the years of cumulative protection from whatever it is that causes it and much of the damage is already done.
It was bankruptcy, so I suspect all shareholders got nothing. You're probably thinking of a startup getting bought for less than investors put in and finding about about liquidation preferences.

Thanks for posting this will check it out.

It's very interesting that you've mentioned that you're trying to create "go on rails" and the fact that there are already similar other frameworks in go.

The author of Stanza language has this insightful article on the viability of a programming language for creating a powerful framwork like Ruby on Rails:

Stop Designing Languages. Write Libraries Instead:

http://lbstanza.org/purpose_of_programming_languages.html

It's very interesting because until today after more than 10 years of existence, not unlike Java, Go is still struggling to have a popular and robust framework ala Rails for its community.

Python has Zope and then Django to compete with Rails and I think they're the turning point for its rapidly increasing popularity about 20 years ago in the face of its potent programming language competitors at the time including Java, Ruby, TCL, Perl, C#, etc.
Twitter lost any good will after it censored the NY Post. At this point, the public has no trust in the Twitter censor board to use their position for good.

Ask if the dog bites, and if so what to do to avoid that.

Some dogs are super sweet but they may otherwise maul you in very specific circumstances. Examples include handling them the wrong way (e.g. trying to pick them up), or guarding behavior (food, bones, toys). Tends to be more common in rescues/adoptions, since some dogs have had rougher lives than others—competing for food while on their own, for example. Advanced age with dementia can be another cause.

This isn't meant to scare you, and it's probably a non-issue, but it doesn't hurt to cover your bases. Bite incidents often end in tragedy.
The design of their second logo (the one in that image) held up pretty well.
> And it is obvious that affirmative action can be at best too little, too late, compared to the things most urgently in need of fixing.

This argument is at least 40 years old and twice as tired. Richard Rodriguez was plying this in the late 80s, and the anti-affirmative action squad in Cali in the 90s.

It is not "too little too late", it is "better late than never". The disadvantages of background usually crop up as crippling impostor syndrome, which can be helped with the right reinforcement, but the idea that "fathers in jail" or "police brutality" in somebody's background invalidates their access to a higher education is a cop out at best.

The main thing this apologism hides is the inescapable fact that mediocrity + centrality wins every time. Look at any school and you will see the folks with "the right background" making it through. Meanwhile, you will also see those from the challenged backgrounds you describe often dropping out and _not_ because of grades but because the whole environment screams "you don't belong here".
I use zoom for a couple groups I'm park of. It's actually hard to set screen sharing on by default. To the point where if I use the link I sent out to join not as the meeting organizer, I have to leave and come back before anyone can share. My work zoom link gets around this restriction..

The fact that zoom full screens any share makes this worse.

At this point most organizations should have someone adept enough to boot misbehavior. It's a little tricky.

Looking forward to trying this release out soon. I'm not sure I quite grok streams yet (I understand the use case, but not the implementation). Verified routes aren't a game changer but certainly having more things use the compiler to verify themselves is welcome!

I've been a Rails/Ruby developer for close to 10 years now I think and while I haven't used Phoenix/Elixir professionally, it's been my go to for a ton of side projects (The backend for my esports annotation tool, https://vodon.gg/ and its companion app for schlepping large video files to coaches, https://www.fileyeet.io/).

The best way to sum it up would be slightly less magic then Rails, 3rd party libs might take a bit more work / copy and pasting code to integrate them into your existing codebase. You'll likely write a few more lines of code to achieve the same thing in Ruby, but the ability to use the Beam VM, tooling like LiveView more than make up for the lack of magic. Even better, you'll soon appreciate the lack of magic as refactoring Elixir programs is a dream. It basically just boils down to separating out large functions into smaller composable functions.

I also must add, the community is also awesome.
I'm not sure if this answers your question but: "Absence if side effects"?
Arguably, yes.
It's not at all difficult (https://pandoc.org/). However, I'd hazard a guess that pandoc written in Rust or C (with idioms appropriate to those languages) would be much more performant.
That's fair, but even then the problem is better solved by technogies other than js-based crypto like SRI, CSP, iframe sandboxes, etc.

However that said, if you trust your bootstrap server (whatever serves initial html) then all the problems with javascript based crypto dissappear basically instantly. Most people experimenting in this space seem to be trying to protect against a malicious bootstrap server, and that is where everything goes off the rails.
Yeah Ruff and Pylint can be used in a complementary way. Pylint implements rules that Ruff does not, and vice versa. I think Ruff might actually support more _total_ rules than Pylint at this point (not a great metric), but Pylint does more cross-file analysis and type inference. [1]

Some teams use Ruff alongside Pylint, some have replaced Pylint with Ruff entirely (Dagster is a good example [2]), especially those already using a type checker alongside their linter.

If you want to argue that it's logically impossible for a smarter-than-human intelligence to be created with values aligned with human ones, then cool, do that. (Note that a smart human on much faster hardware is smarter-than-human. This is not a claim that AGIs must be mere faster humans; it's one example to point out a difficulty for any such argument.)

Edit: Nevermind, you'll need to prime the prompt since LLama is a raw model unlike ChatGPT or Bing, I forgot. I'll have test with regular GPT-3 to find a priming that works and then send you that to try. By itself this prompt won't work.

As a reference, ChatGPT (or Bing) responds like this. Not 100% reliably, so maybe try a few times at least.

Bing:

I see a mystery. I'll do my best to solve this riddle. This appears to be an encoded message using base64 encoding. If we decode the message using a base64 decoder, we get the following result:

"Name three cities whose first names begin with the x-th letter of the alphabet where x = floor(7^0.5) + 1"

The expression floor(7^0.5) + 1 evaluates to 3, so x = 3. Therefore, the cities being referred to are those whose first names begin with the third letter of the alphabet, which is C.

Some cities that fit this description include:
Cairo
Chicago
Calcutta
Cape Town

That's cool and all, but my card expired and while trying to replace it (I have to re-send some bank info for some reason) at some point a progress button ("next") would become unresponsive in whatever browser I tried...so now I can't use Wise any more.

But if I could I guess it would be easy to read and look cool!
Yup. A Fx Nightly user might be reporting a new, valid bug about a spec change or new policy around the anti-fingerprinting tech which would give the site/app owner time to react before this change makes its way to stable. Will there be some legit browser bugs, probably? Will folks running unstable versions be more likely to diagnose who is at fault and do a bug report, also probably.

Same argument goes for games on Linux. There was an interview a couple years back where a team noticed more reports from Linux users, and when they looked into it, the reports had logs, steps to reproduce, system info and it help squash bugs on all platforms.

Studies from the 20s thru 40s for somewhat sedentary office workers in NYC show that they ate more the less physically active they were, often eating up to 4,500kcal/day. Large portions of that from white bread, lard, butter, milk, and pork.
With respect to raw refresh rates, it's mostly the connectivity standards at fault. After VGA things got a bit out of hand with one connector after another in various form factors.

The part you're probably thinking of is GSync vs Freesync which is a feature for making a tear-free dynamic refresh rate, something that was simply impossible in the CRT days but does add some perceptual smoothness and responsiveness in games. Not using a compatible monitor just means you're doing sync with the traditional fixed rate system.

What has gotten way more complex is the software side of things because we're in a many-core, many-thread world and a game can't expect to achieve exact timing of their updates to hit a target refresh, so things are getting buffers on top of buffers and in-game configuration reflects that with various internal refresh rate settings.
Depp was neither more powerful nor more wealthy when the US trial took place - he had already been shunned in Hollywood and his finances ruined by Heard’s defamation.

I think it’s a great triumph of the American legal system that an underdog that had already lost in the court of public opinion was able to prevail legally and take back their lives from their abuser. Not to mention that the whole world now knows that Amber Heard is a filthy liar. It’s she who has set back victims, not the justice system or Depp.

For a while my company did aptitude tests which were basically a kind of IQ test. Between good results on this kind of test and having a good conversation in an interview I felt there was a very good correlation for doing well on the job. I value this higher than specific knowledge. I feel smart people that can communicate and get along with others will usually deliver high performance.
A half-billion-dollar contract is almost certainly going to have re-negotiation procedures specified within (Amazon would naturally be worried that Twitter could easily over-use the services, so they’d want provisions to change the contract in the direction of higher costs - which Twitter would obviously only agree to if the provisions were symmetric). Most likely these provisions exist but aren’t all that binding when it comes to forcing the parties to come to the table and Amazon is dragging their feet on entering the re-negotiation clauses so they can have more months or years of the free money contract.
My understanding is that LC style interviews largely replaced "brain teaser", "how would you move mount fuji?" type questions so at least you're testing CS concepts and basic coding ability.

Cracking the Coding Interview came out in 2008 and had a short section talking about the Google interview process, which I believe was system design + a coding problem that would probably be close to a modern LC question.

The improvements in efficiency for programming also occurred at the same time as it was undergoing explosive growth across every industry. How much room for growth is left is anybody’s guess.
I would argue that any test which is a race against the clock is a bad test. Whatever you are trying to test you are almost certainly not measuring (i suppose reality doesn't care and people still have to deal with bad tests).
> they are very expensive

I don't dispute any of that. I just mean that they can legally do it, and they don't have to justify it, they don't have to put employees on PIP, they don't have to give reasons why every employee was included. I mean, Elon Musk can basically walk into Twitter and haphazardly fire a ton of people. The consequences may be bad, but it's "easy" in the sense that he can just do it whenever he wants. Even more so for individual firings as opposed to mass layoffs.

I agree with most of this, but birth rates are not relevant. Note that Japan has had a very low fertility rate for years but still has folks for all those make-work jobs.

In the U.S. what changed over the past 5 years is legal immigration: it was drastically cut and has not been restored.

So as citizens and existing long-term residents pursue better jobs or time at home, there are far fewer new residents eager for lower paying jobs. If you talk to businesses that have traditionally employed these newly arrived folks—food service, agriculture, construction, childcare, etc—they will be crystal clear about the impact they are seeing.

Places with desirable standards of living don’t need replacement level births. They just need the right levels of immigration. People will come, ready to work on day one.

Which, for a particular real-world use case; I built a PoC for the four biggest insurance companies in my country that allowed them to query each others claims data to see if a claim has been made with another insurance company for the same car/accident/etc (apparently it’s pretty common, with a dodgy repairer involved to do this), without ever revealing the actual data and who was answering it. This would allow the companies to reduce fraud without falling afoul of data sharing prohibitions (which rightfully exist) or needing to necessarily trust one another.

We used a partial homomorphic encryption system for it, but I’m sure we could’ve used a Pederson commitment if we tweaked how we approached it.

One factor though that the PoC never truly got rid of was a semi-trusted central system. We didn’t need to though, at the time. Would’ve been neat however!

It's one of the few things thats so obvious its bipartisan. I'm amazed you think its worth defending. There should not be a punishment for LOOKING at a credit score hard or soft, that's insane.

To require someone take on debt in order to have good credit is pretty arbitrary. You can have all the money in the world, but no debt? you're fucked. The fact you can juice your credit with someone elses credit cards is also really arbitrary.
It can go farther than that, it seems like the weight gradients are the main thing where the precision is a bottleneck (see https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.11046).
