It was clear for 2.5/3 years that covid0 was defensible as it enabled most of PRC to operate with relatively little disruption, wasn't until after omicron that the system became unsustainable. Persisting for another few months _ when able _ to figure things out understandable. It's a luxury other hard lock down countries didn't have, and who didn't pivot, they conceded to living with covid because they simply lacked state capacity to tackle omicron. Difference is PRC did, hence wasting a few months, or buying a few more months of insight, before calculation or reality forced throwing in towel as well. Fairly responsive as far as decision making goes.

The regressions presented on the graphs are misleading at best. The effect of outliers on the fitting looks fairly obvious as are the high density linear areas.
So since making that comment I managed to get 65B running on 1 x A100 80GB using 8-bit quantization. Though I did need ~130GB of regular RAM on top of it.
Yeah this is kind of what I have planned.
I suppose it would be more similar if it went from "Queer" to "LGPWAQ", as in "Lesbians, gays, and people who are queer".

BIPOC definitely reads like "Black and Indigenous people, and the rest." Which makes sense since the intent of the term is to "center the experiences of Black and Indigenous groups." Can't effectively center something without moving everything else out to the margins.
Building 'signal graphs' because views subscribe to err signals is an old hat for re-frame users who are benefiting from a clean and simple mechanism to react to data changes since forever.

Subscriptions grow from the leaf up to the root (which is a single app "db") and so computation is minimal. If something writes to the "db", only relevant subscriptions are recomputed and only views subscribing to those are "repainted".

Works like magic.
Dated put probably not outdated - Japanese also retains パソコン (pasokon, short for “personal computer), which shows its age. I recall a Japanese friend explaining it in 2003, at which time the IME for kanji in Windows had had at least a decade of common use and was remarkably sophisticated. It may be that post-smartphone it’s been such a common phenomenon that everyone accepts it as part of everyday life, there are certainly enough articles and posts about it.
> Why assume that if humans can create a general intelligence, they can also dictate what that general intelligence will desire?

People do the first thing all the time at slightly above replacement rate. (This may be a bit easy to forget in communities particularly interested in the artificial kind!) Success at the second thing varies, but on the whole biases pretty heavily successful.
Still doesn’t explain why there’s so much content for simple concepts and basically nothing for web scraping and flask servers.
> And, at long last, we have arrived at the actual root cause of homelessness: housing costs.

To prove this point the author shows 4 graphs with R^2 values of 0.55, 0.27, 0.24, and 0.28. That's a tough sell, especially when the non-underlined portion of the abstract he showed reads:

> most people with substance-abuse issues remain homeless for 12 months or longer.
Sound like mark-and-sweep.
Well no, because I want to know where the information comes from. Even if it’s “some dude from the Interwebs”, I don’t want a bot presenting stack overflow posts as if facts.
I find any time someone uses the word obviously they're either trying to force an opinion, or insulting you.

If it is obvious to all, then the word is meant to point out how stupid the listener is.

If it's not obvious to all then the speaker is just trying to shut down a conversation.

Clearly I'm right about this. It's obvious.
This seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Single Resident Occupancy units used to be incredibly common - from shared adult dorms to chicken-wire hotels. Now they are non-existent.

In 50 years this represented a loss of over a million housing units! Today there are 500k people living on the streets. I don't think it's a coincidence.
Feels like some people have a hard time imagining that a god-like superintelligence would be completely interested in human affairs.

Would you enjoy staring at a computer screen that isn't running anything?

The universe is the hardware, the Earth is the operating system, humans are the software, and the shit we do is video games, apps, the content... What do you think a "higher entity" would be have more fun with?
If you compare to Ryzen or GeForce, then sure. But those devices are not optimized for power usage, but for performance.

There are also modern low-power devices, like Raspberry Pi, that offer a better power/speed/price ratio (i.e. it's probably less wasteful to run a C64 emulator on an RPI than to run the original C64)
Thankfully, we are moral agents with the capacity to decide whether particular forms of discrimination are good or bad.
I've written some small CPU cores in Verilog and used Logisim to design some small FPGA circuits but I can't fathom writing out an entire 486. Any info on what sort of project management or automation tools are being used to generate all this Verilog? Because this is literally tens thousand+ lines to define the functionality of a 486 and I can't imagine someone writing out register tables and kept track of naming and the pipelining all by hand. I'm guessing something like Vivado or some other IDE is used to help manage everything? I can't tell from the source in RTL. I find this use of FPGAs to replicate older CPUs/SOCs fascinating.
That CPU will degrade over time when run at that level of heat.

If Intel warrants their CPUs to be at TjMax 24/7, it's a good sign that it shouldn't be a problem. I have not heard of overheating killing CPUs since the days when AMD's didn't have any thermal protection[1], and I've cleaned out machines which were heavily clogged with dust and thermally throttling all the time for many years (the service prompted by their owners complaining about their computers being slow.) In one memorable case the push-in heatsink pins must've been originally not fully inserted, since they came out at some point and the heatsink was not even touching the CPU anymore, yet the CPU kept running for years in that state.

[1] There's a famous TomsHardware video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y39D4529FM4
I ended up spending about 6 years (in short bursts) doing this for one project - all the iterations were error-fixing on my part. I started out with OSHPark (I know the owner personally) but I wasn't able to manage $30 a run when I wasn't very good at PCB design to begin with. JLCPCB made iterating on real PCBs possible. I have found JLCPCB's quality to be fantastic. The only exception being I think once the silkscreen looked a little crummy because it was matrix printed (they offer a nicer process, but I was not concerned with it.
>>> but having a system where the entire party kept itself in check worked surprisingly well, and each generation knew the next generation, including their children, would inherit the party

The system you are talking about was Jiang's faction. Every few years one or the other faction becomes dominant. Now it's Xi's faction. Nothing has changed, it is business as usual.
Well that was charming - we'll see if I remember to come back tomorrow, but I enjoyed that in the moment :)

With pastecopy text editor, you don't need to worry about complicated or confusing features. It's straightforward and user-friendly, making it the perfect solution for anyone who values simplicity.

You can access pastecopy text editor from any device with an internet connection, and it's completely free to use.
Yeah and even here we hear stats like 33% have serious mental illness, 20-40% have drug issues, etc. I'd bet those figures are even more skewed if we look at the long term homeless populations.

But it's true, we really do have to get more housing and the biggest problems there are permitting, NIMBY issues and inflation driving up costs. Ideally we'd work on all significant contributors to homelessness at the same time, though.
Not quite. The exclusion zone is pretty touristy, and there are always people there working. The dogs are mostly tame and friendly, and they happily engage and socialise with tourists.

One thing to understand about Ukraine is that many animals are kind of like community pets. They don’t belong to anyone in particular, but they live in one area and are fed and cared for by all the people in the area. People (and even businesses!) build small shelters for the animals. The Silpo supermarket downstairs from the last apartment I lived in had its own little cat shelter fit for about six cats, and painted nicely with Silpo branding.
Yeah exactly, VR does have a certain draw, but who'd want to spend it in a sanitised, ad-filled, corporate shithole

I used to work with a guy whose first book was about to be published and it had blurbs from several very prominent people in business and politics. He told me that he and his team wrote each blurb. That’s not to say the people didn’t agree to have the blurb attributed to them, but that they didn’t even write their blurbs (and I’m pretty sure none of them had read the book).
> The jobs apocalypse is always right around the corner; just ask the Luddites.

The obvious yet unaddressed point here is that automation was bad for the Luddites. They lost their jobs to machines. The implied retort is that people can and should be reskilled, but as people like Andrew Yang have said many times, reskilling has mixed results.

It seems very weird that I, as a moderately knowledgeable layperson, should be able to have 3 or 4 steps of conversation into this topic that Marc simply does not acknowledge. I can only imagine how insulting it would be to an economist or social scientist who has seriously studied this stuff. This essay pretends we know nothing at all about automation.
Sounds good. I can write a script to do that. I’ll give this I try. Appreciate it. Might try to see if eqMac has AppleScript support. Hang in there. Hopefully one day hearing damage can be cured.

Fair enough.

What about Michael Knowles? He just went up on stage and called for "transgenderism" to be "eradicated" from public life [1]. Apparently, he shadow-quoted a Himmler speech while doing so [2].

For the safety of the Airbnb community and in particular the trans people in it, Airbnb should clearly ban him and his close associates. No?

The author is the CEO of one of the companies they say has the solution to this "problem". I guess they technically say that in a footnote, but it's pretty far below the fold.

How can you criticize hosted cloud services for maybe not being open source enough, but then suggest closed source services with an open source interface as somehow being a better alternative?

How can you criticize dual licensing, but then suggest "source available" as an alternative?

> Saying that “Open Source = Good, Proprietary = Bad” is too simplistic. Adopting this mentality leads to businesses that take advantage of unsuspecting victims.

I agree wholeheartedly with the first sentence! But I don't think the author provided any convincing examples to support the claim that open core businesses are somehow taking advantage of users. Yeah, users should be careful not to unintentionally lock themselves into a SaaS that is _technically_ open source. Hard for me to see how _any_ of the author's proposed alternatives are better in that regard.
And reskilling makes much more sense when you’re replacing manual labour. Less sense when you’re replacing brains.
I always thought it was the extra bookkeeping at runtime that was the drawback. Think of some tight loop that’s passing an object around. Your runtime has to inc and dec an integer (or similar) on every touch. Plus, you’re adding to the size of every object. A generational GC may never even touch 90% of all objects, since they don’t make it out of the eden generation.

So you trade off some throughput for no pauses, which is why I imagine Apple prefers it.

EDIT: oh, and reference counting is a garbage collector, just a rather simple one.

Sure, but then add on the franchisees profits and the land appreciation, and you're pretty damn near to a living wage from surplus alone.
Thanks, and I emphasise with you! It's hard to come to terms with the fact that all these beautiful plans and hopes just, poof, disappear. And not just those, also the security, comfort and vitality of a really great relationship.

I did reach out a lot to some friends and family, and am gathering plans on how to improve/build myself. But yeah, it's hard. At the moment I'm still completely uninterested in meeting other women, even just for hookups.

I was thinking more about the recent Alder Lake Lenovo leaks :)

Ok the article was a guest post on the blog by a guy named Aaron Carr which I take is this guy
https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaroncarrny/

who seems to be some sort of reasonable expert on homelessness, the article has a lot of sections with stuff like this

>Furthermore, if mental health were the main driver of homelessness, places with the most mental illness would have the most homelessness. However, the data shows the exact opposite:

followed by a scatterplot graph Rate of Serious Mental Illness Versus PIT Count (per capita)

Aren't dual licensing and support contracts kinda solutions to these problems? They're certainly not perfect though.
And who’s going to write and update that textbook?

If your answer is “the professor teaching the course”, that’s cost-shifting and in many cases less efficient than having one textbook author write a textbook used in many places.

If your further suggestion is that LLMs will generate college textbooks, that seems like a gross overestimate of their current capabilities.

According to a short overview of the subject, this is false. Temporarity is questionable, and there are significant adverse side effects, especially in girls. E.g. https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/20636/Risk-of-pseu... . None of which should be surprising to anyone who read anything about hormonal treatments.
Thanks for doing that! I think there is demand for minimal metrics services for Prometheus for very constrained or expensive environments.

I am currently looking into getting container-level metrics into Fargate containers.

I think the best way forward, if you want to keep working on it would be to provide good documentation on how to use it. As it reads from the README now, you need to set the amount of labels you will have before compiling? I am not a Rust user so basically have no idea how to test that thing.

For a feature request, I think histograms would be best.

Thanks again and good luck!
Absolutely fascinating. It suggests that the party has overtly broken the compact with the people, to keep them safe and offer prosperity for a price of social conformity.

What's left works by limping along but another privilege gone each time reinforces that the future may not be better than the past. An internal struggle in the party for power has "wrecked the joint" for everyone else.

I think they've made a mistake. It may not wreak havoc now but future cohorts may be less willing to be part of a one party state that breaks its internal promise so severely.

The long term excess deaths will echo in education, economic and defence outcomes. Claiming victim status or launching out to reclaim Taiwan may well happen, but also may not work: people have a strong "fool me twice" reaction, and the diaspora talk to people at home, Great firewall or not.

There's not a lot the state can do about it.

The idea of fringe cities and hill towns in the provinces as "pressure relief valves" the central authorities accept in some sense, reminded me of Ira Levin's "this perfect day" and the hidden maps to sanctuary islands for the rebellious.

If I were in the party, I'd be very worried about "quiet quitting". They sort of caused it.

Trying to form an entire business around some small bit of technology is a non-started, imo. Focus on one area (eg the 6052 uc), blog with passion about what you're doing, build a following, and start up a Patreon. The long tail of the Internet enables business models that target tiny niches, so the cassette heads can find each other, and subsidize the creator of an ML model trained to invert audio cassette dub generational fidelity loss.

It's a scary leap to make, but if you can pay some bills following your passion, making things you need to build, then I'd call that a win.
Given the available resources today it should be possible to create a NURB based renderer on something like the ECP5 FPGA. Not a project I have time for but something to think about.
Look again at NY and see when the preponderance of deaths happened. Right when the pandemic broke out, U.S. citizens were forced to come home from abroad, and many of them transited through airports in New York. If you recall the images from those airports at the time, people, many of whom were probably infected, were packed shoulder to shoulder. New York’s shelter in place restrictions weren’t in place at that point. New York City was slammed with a wave of sickness and death unparalleled anywhere else shortly afterwards.

New York has been an outlier in the data the entire length of the pandemic for this reason. If you look at the totality of per-capita hospitalizations and deaths over the last several years, its obvious that shelter-in-place restrictions absolutely made a difference.

A few more historical bits that might be interesting.

Brian Hook was the 3dfx engineer who was the original architect of Glide. He went on to work for id Software in 1997.

Michael Abrash wrote the first 3d hardware support for Quake, while working for id Software, but it wasn't for 3dfx it was for the Rendition Verite 1000 and released as vQuake.

John Carmack was, of course, the lead programmer of Quake.

Hook, Abrash, and Carmack ended up working at the same company again at Oculus VR (and then Meta).
With the caveat that I do play a good amount of roguelikes, this one was far too easy. It needs better levels. You should add some algorithms that reject bad level generations. This one was beatable by killing the first two monsters and walking to the exit. Try generating levels until you get one where you need a strategy that is not that simple? Idk.
Is that because we've always been able to specialise further? But is there an end point to that? We can only specialise so much.
