Amphetamines dont "feel different to me now" - different preperations of the same drug feel markedly different. Name brand adderall and sandoz generic feel the same as they always have. Actavis feels like I am geeked the fuck out. Honestly feels quite similar to the effect of eating the cotton out of benzedrex inhalers (please, no judgement, I was very interested in drug experimentation as a youth)

I did look into the stereoisomers of generics per your comment - you are correct, the fda does regulate the specific enantiomers present in a mediciation. So I am at a loss. I am certain Actavis specifically is chemically different. Perhaps there is an inactive ingredient that is modulating the effects? Or perhaps Actavis is just lying to the FDA.

I would love to find some 3rd party which does evaluations of chemical makeup for generics. Was unable to find such a thing, if you know of something like that, id be very interested.
Creativity is originality.

Engineering is accuracy/precision.

Financial is efficiency.

Design is connecting to the human experience.

Design is usefulness. Elegance, the appropriateness to the task at hand.

It's about design.

You must make things, all work is essentially about creation. But, nothing is pure creativity.

Even surrealist poets must make things that connect to their readers.
The SerpAPI has backends for a few search engines. And, maybe substitute an ElasticSearch or Nutch search engine?

You make a good point.
It's a bit more complicated.

Companies are often in limbo for a long time before they officially go under.

The borrower has to keep paying borrow costs during that time. Which makes shorting companies that go down rather risky.
What happens when you hit a guardrail because there was a politically-charged or socially-condoned phrase? What if the documents are potentially sensationalist news articles or Wikipedia articles with potentially-questionable topics?
If Circle blacklists you and your funds you can't do anything with them at all afaik.
Also not 'unknowingly'.
DSLRs are insane value right now as everyone jumps to mirrorless. Which is just silly fashion, IMHO. (Or, if you're like me and prefer optical viewfinders, kind of important). I'm jazzed that people are abandoning things like cds, physical books, and DSLRs - more for me. An aside: I can't believe people have so quickly gone from "geez should I even shop online" to "hey lets put my whole live online and burn the physical copies". That happened in the last 20 years. No engineer or risk analyst in the world could say this is a good idea. Computers, software, and the internet need to be stable for 100+ years to be relied on to that degree, IMHO.
There is a project along the lines you mention but it's still under development

...Those lobbyists and PR folks must be hard at work on that bailout.
>This is true for the unregulated illicit drug market, but it's most certainly not true for regulated drugs like Adderall.

It's not even consistently true for the illicit drug market. You can just Google "amphetamine isomer separation tartrate" to get a bunch of information about it. The l-isomer of amphetamine is very weak, and sellers want return business.
> (in practice what happens is someone else unknowingly gives you a stock for free and then you sell it, and they get an IOU for a share of the stock later; but let's not worry too much about the mechanics)

That's a mis-characterisation. What makes you think the counterparty lends you the stock unknowingly?

> The reason shorting is permitted is because [...]

You forgot the most important reasons:

First, why forbid voluntary transactions between people? Stock lending is an activity between consenting adults.

Second, short selling is a way to finance muckracking and investigations. Short sellers are the only people with an incentive to burst manias. They are an important mechanism for the market to regulate itself.
One side complains about scary theoretical possible actions, while the other is defending against destructive attempts to overthrow the government led by the leader the first party. The both sides argument doesn't really work anymore.
This should be number 1 on the list, and it's wrong.

Specifically:

React.useEffect(() => {
// Create an async function...
async function runEffect() {
const url = `${API}/get-profile?id=${userId}`;
const res = await fetch(url);
const json = await res.json(); <-- OK

setUser(json); <--- Wrong.
}

```

This is, hands down, the #1 mistake that react developers make. I've seen it literally in every react code base I've ever opened (if the code base had any kind of `fetch` in it).

It's covered in the documentation now, explicitly:

https://beta.reactjs.org/learn/synchronizing-with-effects#fe...

This is a prime example of a sharp edge with react hooks; it's a very very common pattern, but because people don't understand what's going on, they do it wrong naively; and even when you do know it's wrong, it's a rare edge-case that causes an invisible bug ("Tried to update a component that wasn't mounted...") and makes code messy and hard to read.

The tldr should be: Do not use async effects. Use suspense.
I'm literally trying to figure out how to do this safely right now.

I have a person I can get it from, it's decriminalized where I live, and there are abundant facilities for detailed testing so I can get a sense of what the purity is.

Just wondering about dose and how this could work. I'm ADHD and it's been impacting me a lot recently
Dismissing people’s pain and sadness is a pretty cynical thing to do…
That might be true.

But they never explicitly said that, so I’m unconvinced that they’re not just buying time, and hoping that on Monday FDIC will release a pile of now-locked-up-funds that are an existential risk to Etsy.
Retail cloud setups provide standardization that hosting on bare metal may not.

The irony of it is most of the cloud services are open-source technologies packaged up to be easy to use and administer from a web interface.

Maybe if someone came up with a set of tooling in AWS to use many lightsail VMs to provide more of the basic AWS services, it could be a way to get the best of both worlds.
Fortunately, the FDIC lacks the statutory authority to bail out SVB. Without congressional action it would really be an extraordinary move by the treasury.
Wow--it really is 100% mechanical. Looks electrical from the front.
I think there's a simple thought experiment that challenges these models as intelligence, artificial or otherwise.

Not especially long ago humanity knew basically nothing. The epitome of technology was the stone age. Literally crush two rocks together and then poke things with the sharp bits that flake off. Somehow, in the blink of an eye, we went from that to putting a man on the moon.

So let's do the same with these sort of LLM models and see what happens. Train one with the entirety of expressible human knowledge from the stone age. Where will it send you? I think the answer is largely pretty much where you are. In any case, certainly not to the moon. It seems we're just building natural language search.

This isn't shifting the goal posts. The problem is we keep intentionally making meaningless goal posts in pursuit of AI, because if you don't then the goal seems impossibly far off. But that's because the reality is that it probably is!
Let's not act like Circle's options were either to put 3 billion in one bank, or open 1200 accounts at 1200 banks.

-Purchase high-limit cash insurance from a Reinsurer like Lloyds of London or Berkshire Hathaway up to their underwriting limit, perhaps $100M. Do this across 4-5 different banks with 4-5 different reinsurers.

-Put the remaining $2-2.5B into mixed US Treasuries of varying maturities
The limit is $50M, which should be plenty for any org to meet short term obligations. The rest of your funds can then be in short dated treasuries, which are risk free.
Not going to argue with you, but here's a shot I took handheld with the APS-C.

I have a hunch this has been happenomg for a while. Less food to go around, for example, as a major fertilizer exporter is currently fighting a land war on their territory.
I used Haystack due to the readily available colab notebook[1] for their tutorials. I wanted to feed my own text corpus to it, and that was the fastest way available.

Langchain docs are helpful, and it would be even better if you published an end-to-end notebook using a popular dataset. Definitely looking forward to try langchain as I dive deeper into this.

I don’t think homomorphic encryption works like that
I think it's trivializing the concept to say "we all have addictions," since by definition an addiction is meant to be a significant impediment to living a normal life. And I'm not sure how you're answering the concern here. Like yeah, a lot of people get addicted to gambling -- that's a compelling argument against legalizing gambling.
As far as I know the Ivy League football has attendance well below 10k a football game in general. They have no significant TV contract money compared to the "P5" conferences.

I suspect many of their football programs barely, if at all support themselves with the income they have for that given sport.

I doubt their other sports are much more profitable...

So what then? Force them to offer athletic scholarships?

I feel like this lawsuit is trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
I am rather conflicted by this site, while it is aimed at ESLs and was created by ESLs those who created it seem to have an inflated view of their English skills and lack understanding of the poetics of the language which make it so versatile. Perhaps they are being pragmatic but I think they take it to the extreme and are not actually teaching how to learn English effectively but only teaching how to mimic English effectively. But does it matter? You can't really learn a language until you live in the culture that speaks the language, book smarts must yield to street smarts at some point if you really want to learn a language and its nuances. I really don't know, part of me thinks it does not matter, it is mostly about getting over that first hump so you can get into the culture that speaks the language and really start learning, but the other part of me notices the increasing trend of ESLs correcting EFLs without even considering that they might not understand.

I guess it is all part of being a native speaker of a widely spread language and the evolution of language. I am curious to see where it takes us.
You are correct. After looking it up it seems I was misinformed about the enantiomers in generics thing.

As far as the effevts of l amph- eh. Yes. There is some amount of evidence the the L isomer produces symptom relief similar to d amph. Frankly ive never had the two seperated so I wouldnt know from experience, but I have read repeatedly over the years that L amph is associated with more norepinephrine effects than D, and norepinephrine agonists produce ohysical side effects such as vasoconstriction.
This looks really cool. Im paranoid about losing my phone and having a hardware key as a necklace or bracelet could be a decent option.
What are other benefits of using something like this?
Is it possible to use this to store normal passwords and use them for logins?
That was because the current trend in AI (deep learning) mainly just requires batched matrix computations, which makes an efficient implementation fairly language-agnostic (provided that only the internal kernels are written in high-performance C/C++ or CUDA). The same thing doesn’t hold for other computationally intensive tasks like ray tracing or physics simulation, where computation cannot be expressed in huge batched matrix operations but rather millions of highly variable small-sized computations.

If mainstream AI moves beyond just deep learning and start to encompass other approaches and disciplines (for example, differentiable simulators/renderers), suddenly the language (and the compiler) will be much more important than before.
The magazine has ceased publication, but I really enjoyed reading https://reallifemag.com/.
It can not, that particular library is CPU-only.

If you want to run on GPU, use the official Python-based stack, which BTW takes about 10GB of runtime binaries on disk, and only supports nVidia GPUs because CUDA.
Worth noting that these are pretty much the standard AU-EU routes for most airlines.

The flight change point varies by airline: SG, Hk, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Doha are the most common.

I think Qantas has flights through SF for the US now too?
Some numbers from a moderately successful writer of literary fiction and poetry.¹ From when I started submitting work again after about seven years of not submitting, it took six years and about 200 rejections before I had my first acceptance in 2013. I’ve had at least one acceptance every year since then, with the most I’ve made from a story being $200 and the most for a poem $55.34.²

My overall rejection rate for poetry is 99% and for fiction 98%.³ On a year-by-year basis, my highest acceptance rate for fiction was 4.2% and my lowest (after those early years of rejection) was 0.5%. For poetry, my acceptance rate has ranged from 0% to 3.3%.

I’ve been pretty resilient with respect to rejection. I credit my love life (or lack thereof) in my teen and young adult years for that.

⸻

1. I have an MFA and have published 20 short stories and 11 poems over the last nine years. (https://www.dahosek.com/publications/).

2. The odd number being caused by the fact that it was an Australian publication and this was my net after bank fees and currency conversion. The nominal pay was AUD75.

3. My MFA was in fiction and I feel much more confident in prose than in poetry—I could teach a fiction workshop, but would be at a loss to try to lead a poetry workshop.
> they have the most grueling schedule of all professional sports

because they don't have a grueling sport.
Yeah you are right. I wonder how closely this is adhered to in practice. Stranger things have happened in the pharma world.

But yes I was definitely mistaken. Thank you for the correction
Social media and cyberbullying leads to suicide and has and does kill people. This is particularly bad when those alt-f4’ing their life are adolescents and not post-midlife when smoking will kill.

It seems like it’s too early to tell how severe the second and third order effects of social media are on one’s own well-being and the well-being of society.
The only superior general-purpose credit card that I know of is Citi DoubleCash, which offers 2% cashback on everything and permanent 0% interest if used correctly with Amazon purchases.

(The best Amazon credit card is Amazon's own, because of the 5% cashback. But even it doesn't offer DoubleCash's 0% interest option.)
Is there a way to automate piano voicings with this?

Most good (especially jazz) pianists can easily find a simple (nice) sounding sequence of voicings for chords - is there an analytical/algorithmic solution for this?
For me this usually means that the code needs to be refactored to make chunks easier to test, or an integration/e2e test is needed, sometimes with the world running in containers (extreme cases when there’s no access to dependency source).
Four questions - where does a bank store cash? What is the IORB and what are its underlying assumptions? What is the overhead cost in banking? What is the cost of ACH and a wire? I don’t contend you can just have money sit there. I also don’t contend that it was stupid in hindsight to be this levered to duration. But there is an overhead cost in banking.
It's not a fools errand, you can't know definitively but you can have a level of confidence.

It's quite easy to invent a sentence that's never been uttered before, it's also fairly easy to hit the limits of the internet's knowledge in pretty much any complex discipline that's not software engineering.

And it's apparent when you speak to ChatGPT, he will hallucinate a lot to compensate for niche topics it doesn't know much about.

Occam's razor wouldn't point to ChatGPT having omniscient knowledge of all things ever thought of and that will ever be invented.
Yeah, I’m highly suspicious of confident claims that X, Y or Z led to the decline in crime. What we do know is that it’s not clear at all what led to the massive reduction in crime across the U.S.
You know how there are those sites like isitdownorjust.me?

We need one for banks. DoesMyBankHaveAChiefRiskOfficerRightNow.com.
None of these AIs were created ethically. At the very least we can make sure these huge models don’t solely belong to monopolistic tech companies and democratize their power.
Take a look at htmx (https://htmx.org/) if you haven't already. For my use cases, generally internal tooling like you mentioned, I've found it integrates extremely well with go templates and more often than not provides all the functionality that I'd generally be reaching to javascript for.
Also, the fact that they don't explicitly offer athletic scholarships in no way detracts from the fact that they offer scholarships carefully calibrated to what they think the parents can afford to every student they want.
If cash sweeps become ubiquitous, you will be subsidizing it whether you want to or not. This just makes it explicit.
Odd that the link to the latest blog post on ycombinator, indeed an urgent blog post, has been flagged on news.ycombinator itself. Things must be getting really bad somewhere.
No, the real issue is that the person accepted a trade at an extremely bad exchange rate.

The bot didn't front run. It's the opposite. His trade made 3Crv EXTREMELY cheap in that pool. The bot simply bought that cheap 3Crv before anyone else.
One of my MFA mentors, Tibor Fischer complained about that. His debut novel, Under the Frog was shortlisted for the Booker prize and his publishers wanted more of that, but he wanted to write different things (and did). His later books tend towards darkly comic crime fiction. I recommend The Collector Collector as a good starting point.
This was generating 2000 tokens, so it seems to get slightly faster on longer generation runs maybe?
I agree that depositors did nothing wrong here and that they took VC recommandation of using SVB. Can you also touch on why and who started this bank run in the first place and what they should have known better?
what's your point? If you read actual paper you will see that 65B outperforms that 7B which was discussed above, and size matters.
The government at this point is basically incapable of doing anything useful for the people unless it does something good for the elites.. if it does nothing good for the elites the government will do nothing about anything
"enshittification", should be word of the week.
I agree with your optimism, although I can understand if people want to argue with this optimism.

I think that we are seeing exponential improvements in deep learning, specifically in LLMs. A few months ago, I would see about one new demo or great paper a day that really impresses me. Now I see many great new demos, or products, or papers a day. In the 1980s we would build commercially useful models using a few layers with backdrop with small layer sizes. We built our own Harvard Architecture hardware for forward feeds and backdrop, a whopping 5 million flops/second. That was fun, but I prefer modern tools, thank everyone very much!

BTW, I am working on a short book that uses LangChain, Llama-Index (used to be called GPT-Index), and a few other libraries to solve a few problems that I find interesting.
The HOWTOs that came in the RedHat Linux 5.2 CD were cool.
Couldn't at least "icon fonts" like FontAwesome be necessary for meaningful functionality of some sites?

A site that's sprinkled with [FE30] placeholders where the designers expected icons isn't necessarily readable or usable.

Amusing but sad that libertarians obviously want the government to save them when it costs them something.
As if all one had to do was create such a thing and sit back and watch the subscription dollars come rolling in.
None that I'm aware of.

I think bankrate.com calculates the value of a Bilt point as 1.1 cents, which is not great but more than the $0.00 from anywhere else. So I have mine set up for paying rent (the "pull straight from a bank account" option is welcome, as it saves the credit limit in case I need the full amount), do a few other smaller purchases with the card during the month to hit the five-transaction requirement to earn points from rent, and use Citi DoubleCash and Wells Fargo Active Cash for everything else.
Thanks even the 13B model that runs way faster with top_p disabled works better!
I like how many people poo-poo this.

There really is no reason you can’t use it shouldn’t use a 2012-2014 system in 2023. Even minor upgrades like an SSD are tremendously beneficial. And to the commenters going “try watching a 4K video hur hur!”… why? No one will argue that multimedia oriented stuff /doesn’t/ need, more often than not, beefier hardware. But let’s ignore the fact that most of the machines from this era that are laptops won’t have anything remotely approaching a 4K display. So it’s a moot point.

My personal desktop is an i9-13900k and it’s awesome.

My laptop is currently a 3rd gen i5 powered dell that works beautifully for everything I need or want on the go.

Up till literally 2 years ago my daily driver laptop was a p 2-300 with 192mb of ram, 64gb ide ssd, and a 10” 800x600 lcd. You know why? Because it did everything I needed for a portable system and the rare instances I needed more I could RDP into a stronger rig.

So, yeah, artificially limiting yourself on every rig to something old I don’t see the value of. But continuing to use, even as your primary portable, an older system is 100% fine.

“But they can’t edit iPhone videos!”

… smh
I'm not, because I know the federal regulators have strict requirements for these banks and will bail them out if they did somehow fail for being a "systemically important bank." I'm not qualified to evaluate the soundness of a bank, and neither are the rating agencies (as 2008 showed), so I'm going to go with the banks I know the federal government will backstop.
haha... Have you ever worked with a product manager?

(:

Sorry, those turn up as 'must have' features in like, meeting #2 with the product owner, because the UI feels old and rubbish without them.

Technically? You're 100% right.

...but, I guarantee that even a LOB app, this will turn up, again and again and again as a feature request, until it becomes a tier 1 priority.
Oh yeah, absolutely. Just not something I'd use for, e.g., mortgages where denying someone unfairly could lead to a lawsuit.
