What's the point of raising all these things? I can dispute those claims but at this point it doesn't matter one bit whether those claims are actually true or not.

How does flooding the media with such claims improve human rights in China? They achieve no positive effects for anyone in China: sanctions and war only hurt people. They are also spectacularly effective at making the lives of Asians in the west miserable.

Yet you keep myopically focusing on these claims, heedless of the actual harm they do to innocent people, just so that you can feel like you're being virtuous for raising these claims. You are not actually supporting human rights, you are abusing the very concept to feel good about yourself.
The average home in a mildly polluted area will actually generally have clean indoor air without filtration. Even with windows open. Don't ask me how this works, but I've verified it using a PM 2.5 monitor, a laseregg 2. With indoor and outdoor measurements on the same day.

I recommend indoor filtration for other reasons (allergies, diseases, cutting down pollution from cooking). But if someone already isn't producing much cooking PM 2.5, an indoor filter won't actually cut their exposure much.

A car with good filtration and a mask outdoors would be the most effective things one could do short of moving. Note that even lower quality masks such as surgical cut air pollution a fair bit. People somehow convinced themselves they have zero impact, because they lack perfect impact.

Studies have found surgical masks generally cut over half of particles: https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/surgical-masks-surprisin...

Many people who deal with raw hardware don't realize that what the business wants is guarantees that shit is going to work, cost mostly be damned.

And so that's how you get scenarios where you pay through the nose, but you've explicitly called out what you need and you get it, even if the company ends up doing weird things like shipping the top-end hardware (with speed disabled) so that they can make sure they meet the requirements.
ML might benefit a lot from 10bit bytes. Accelerators have a separate memory space from the CPU after all, and have their own hbm dram as close as possible to the dies. In exchange, you could get decent exponent size on a float10 that might not kill your gradients when training a model
Uh, Google Search was only as good as the as Internet was back then, and in 99 it was pretty bad…
It's incredible. It's quite possible that an acquisition CEO might no longer be needed at the company 2 years later, and that his deteriorating health might interfere with productivity.

But holy moly the horrific way Elon/NewTwitter went about the whole thing.

Question: if every US citizen/permanent resident refuses to work for Twitter because of how horrific it is and the pay isn't worth it, is that sufficient basis to get approval to hire H1Bs with lower standards?
Copying my post from other thread:

Feels more like to gut Musk. Dude had a firm aquired to Twitter in '21. and is one of largest tax entity in Iceland. He got Musk saying he's terminated due to disability[1].

He deliberately asked HR repeatly that his JD is correct and his manager if he’s doing the task he was assigned while he was employed[2]. No one will ever do this unless he’s preparing for lawsuits.

He’s likely to be in the period of his acquisitions and termination like this gonna be very expensive

Dude is out for blood and Musk falls for it. It's going to be a very expensive tweet for Musk.

The locations important for older people aren't exactly the same as for younger people.

Hence the usage of the word "minimal", or so I would imagine. Plus the only reason that's the case is because there's little demand for it. That is: people have cars.

"Europe" is a big place with lots of differences so I can't generalize to the entire continent, which includes places I've never even been to, but quite a few places could almost entirely eliminate car ownership within a matter of years if they wanted. Whether that's desirable in the first place is something I'll leave for everyone to decide for themselves, but it really is just a question of "want" rather than "can".

There is an enormous cost to working out - you need more sleep, a cleaner diet (usually at least with whey supplementation), a stretching routine, more clothing and showers. And that's after we consider that it's 1-2 hours out of a day where you probably do work-related activities for ~9, sleep 8, do chores & eat for 2. 2/5 "free" hours is a very serious commitment.

It also comes with tangential issues like knowing how not to create muscle imbalances, over-eat, over-train, etc. So that is definitely a valuable call out. Furthermore, a brilliant statement (that's common sense to most) I heard in the last few years is that efficiency is the opposite of stability - working out is more load that causes overall efficiency, but creates more risk. In short, you are absolutely right, even if we ignore the extreme scenarios where someone slips a disc or tears a bicep.
Same here. I just finished up an RV build, and all my wire bundles are laced. I chose to use individual clove hitches instead of running stitches because it's easier to fix individual knots later and, well, I just never got good at the terminating knots.
What I can't understand about Elon's approach is how easy it would be to do nothing. Like he could easily just ignore these tweets and not have a massive public thread where he gets eviscerated. I can appreciate that there are a large number of people who will come to a billionaires defence, for whatever reason but surely it would be easier to just send the tweet to HR with a "?".
It's not really surprising anymore but it still amuses me that most replies agreeing with Elon's public diatribes are a collection of quacks and kooks of every kind. From disgraced professors to magical healing people, to conspiracy nutters, crypto-bros and "Millionaire at 40, looking for companies that make the future happen"-bio profiles.

It seems that Elon really created his own bubble of quacks as followers, and feels empowered by that.

Actually, when I think deeper about it, it's a little scary...
Okay, I have struggled with really badly designed and user-unfriendly static code analysis or Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools in the past. Bearer's open-source tool is a breath of fresh air in this space that is thirsty for innovation.

As an early tester of the scanner on my RoR and js apps, I really liked the sensitive-data centric prioritization which made it easy for my engineering team to interpret the output directly using CLI. This allowed me to:
- reducing app attack surface to minimize risk of data breach
- meeting regulatory compliance to meet customer's security standards and report on privacy compliance for GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, etc.
- maximize engineering time on high impact fixes
Your type doesn't describe prime numbers. You just named it "prime number", but there's no proof or any other guarantee that it's a prime number.

> People get too caught up in thinking that the type _has_ to express intricate properties

Where do you get this from? Did you even read what you are replying to? I never said anything like that... What I'm saying is that the approach taken by OP is worthless when it comes to real-life uses of validation.

So, continuing with your example: you will either end up doing validation instead of parsing (i.e. you will implement parsePrime validator function), or your will not actually validate that your input is a prime number... The whole point OP was trying to make is that they wanted to capture the constraints on data in a type describing those constraints, but outside of trivial examples s.a. non-empty list, that's used by OP, that leads to programs that are either impossible or are extremely complex.

> One can quite easily create a closed module that encapsulates a ValidPassword

And, again, that would be doing _validation_ not parsing. I'm not sure if you even understand what the conflict here is, or are you somehow agreeing with me w/o saying so?

* Testing/replacing car air filter

* Any mask outside. Even surgical can cut more than half of pm 2.5

* A lot of people recommending indoor filters, but indoor pollution generally a lot less than outdoors except when cooking. You can verify this with a PM 2.5 monitor. I do recommend indoor filters, but if budget is limited and you're working on overall lower pm 2.5 filters, testing car and getting masks is the more effective intervention

Not surprising, isn't it? He did call a Thailand cave rescuer "pedo" because the rescuer had the gall to reject Elon's idea.
HR was laid off.

NewTwitter is the Monty Python Holy Grail credits incarnate. "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked."
Unfortunately attempts at holding Elon accountability via the legal system have all failed so I don't place any hope of justice being served. I think the only hope is his ego collapses on itself.

Everybody deserves access. And if a regulation has this unintended side-effect (I need see some examples before I believe this has happened in real life) the overall effect of better accessibility is a net positive. Our society is better when it accommodates people with different needs.

On the plus side—since this submission is about Halli—Halli has been using his personal wealth to build 1500 wheelchair ramps in Reykjavík. His efforts have been quite successful. I wonder if there are people or organizations in California that are engaging in similar actions.
Is being petty at the top of Elon's priority list? I'd imagine there would be more pressing concerns taking into account the projects he has a foothold in.
> This sounds like planned extortion.

It feels a bit like it. Because the point is to first get you hooked/trapped, lure you in, and then find ways to take advantage of you.

It was the same with Google Search. It was useful and free. Now that they have everyone trapped, they can exploit the s*t out of our attention. They can put 5 ads in search and video ads every minute on YouTube and enough people will still use the service, as the users are already trapped, there are no alternatives due to them creating a monopoly.

Or maybe Antitrust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_law

Leading to Predatory pricing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

"Predatory pricing is a pricing strategy, using the method of undercutting on a larger scale, where a dominant firm in an industry will deliberately reduce the prices of a product or service to loss-making levels in the short-term.[1] The aim is that existing or potential competitors within the industry will be forced to leave the market, as they are unable to effectively compete with the dominant firm without making a loss.[2] Once competition has been eliminated, the dominant firm now having a majority share of the market can raise its prices to monopoly levels in the long-term to recoup its losses."

Reminds me of the "pedo diver" tweet. That's the point at which my opinion of Musk changed from "admirable but occasionally childish" to "dickhead who has had a few good ideas and got very lucky". Stuff like this is just par for the course now.

> Knowing transformers, it's probably safe to say that with more diverse training data, it will be able to scale to more complex controls in more complex embodied robots. While I would love to see them working on robot chefs, I can appreciate that they want to start small.

Except they are (were?) one of the biggest spenders in the entire field. While it may seem easy to hand-wave away "Just add more data!", robot data is way more expensive to get than language/image data, since people don't generate that naturally as they browse the internet. If their current operation was already too expensive for Google to keep running (as evidenced by Google shutting down this research arm), imagine what would happen if they proposed "let's spend a couple more orders of magnitude to get data!"

All I am saying is that they are going for an unambitious project that looks cool to the outsiders, with buzzwords like LLM. There are work by others [1] that are much more impressive in terms of manipulation diversity that would probably be a much better bet to add more data into, since they show a much more promising route to the future.

Worse than that, activists disguised as academicians tutored generations of students into ditching an objective approach to the pursuit for knowledge for a subjective assault on the scientific method and the concept of "truth". By twisting language until words have lost any semblance of meaning - take the abuse the word 'theory' has suffered as an example - and by replacing the pursuit of knowledge with a drive for political action these activists have sown the seeds of what might well be the destruction of academia. They're not alone in this, the institutions suffer under the relentless pursuit of profit by diploma mills as well but the assault from within is more damaging since it touches the core of Academia's reason to be, this being the objective pursuit of knowledge through application of the scientific methods.
> and are probably a good thing once the community gets big enough

Splits are happening in small-ish communities too. People don't know why, but they have to have Discord, facebook, reddit, etc. And if you join all of them -- which you often do in case they are similar but not exactly the same ("Why are you asking this? The answer was posted to the facebook group! Oh, but we are in Reddit, never mind, here's a link to fb") -- you'll see some of the same people in all of them. The one caveat is that the "owner" of the community (say, the game devs if this is about a game) are likely to be more active in only one of the platforms; Murphy's Law dictates it likely won't be in the one you prefer.

Which really raises the question, if (almost) the same bunch of people is posting in Discord/fb/reddit/whatever, do we really need all those platforms? What purpose do they serve?

But indeed it's doomed if you do and doomed if you don't. You have no control. You can be sure someone will create that goddamn Discord.

Corporate finance doesn't work that way. If someone sets something up that costs $500K a year and it can be done for $150K a year. $150K is the baseline thats how much it should have cost in the first place. Otherwise why wouldn't I set it up to cost $10million a year then retract to $150K then say "Oh gee I saved you millions of dollars you owe me!" We as employees have a responsibility to our organizations to ensure they are trim and healthy. It's how we grow and achieve bigger things.

I have been rewarded in the past and am confident I will rewarded in the future. The individuals that set it up kooky will be retrained to avoid that situation in the future. I feel bad for all the jaded folks they must live very depressing existences.

ICE engines/transmissions are cheap and nearly bulletproof. It costs around $0.02/mile to fully replace them both with sub-100k used replacements every time they hit 250k miles, and the deal is a bit better than it seems because any decent mechanic will toss in a brand new timing belt and water pump while it's all exposed.

Even if you paid the post's exorbitant rates by putting new engines and transmissions in ancient cars and doing so at 200k miles instead of waiting till they actually failed, you'd only be in for $0.06/mile -- less than insurance or gas individually in most situations.

Fine article otherwise, and kudos for keeping track of the detailed costs. The framing against ICE engines is odd though, especially when not highlighting the things that actually make them more expensive to operate.

Realistically it's going to get pushed back or heavily caveated. But also, a lot can be done in 12 years if there is a will to do it - and imposing this deadline is part of trying to make that happen. It also depends on whether there are any oil price shocks in that time.

No. it's not the approach OP recommends. And that's why it's called validation. I have no idea why would you question that. OP wants to capture constraints on data as ML-style types. But, ML-style types have very limited expressive power, and, when it comes to real-life situation are practically useless outside of the most trivial cases.
Well, to attempt it, in any event. In this particular exchange, Musk is fairly clearly the one humiliated.
This article does a couple of things that seem strange. The title’s “first ever” claim is a bit odd since the WHO has been basing their recommendations on global studies for decades. The WHO page already says “WHO data show that almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures.” https://www.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution#tab=tab_1

Another strange bit is the quote “the WHO’s recommended safe limit of 15 μg/m³.” The WHO’s 2005 “ideal” recommendation was 10 for average annual exposure, and the recommendation in their 2021 is for 5 μg/m³. I’m not sure where the 15 came from, but the WHO has proposed 4 levels of “interim” targets for cities & counties to aim for, starting at 35 and dropping to 5.

For anyone who cares about air quality, I’d totally recommend reading the WHO’s material, there is a shorter executive summary [1], a much longer full report describing methodology [2] and a web site full of resources [3].
