I love my Canon AE-1 but dang it's expensive to actually use.

The G9x Mark II, Sony RX100, Panasonic LUMIX and similar 1" sensor cameras are awesome though and I don't think they've gotten too crazy with computational photography. I imagine some color processing modes might be doing a bit of work though.
the stuff in here about 'minor differences in coating could make a difference but shouldn't' is surprisingly badly researched

both teva + shire manufacture a branded and a generic -- just ask them what the difference is between the two, right? and if they hang up you can write, 'both teva and shire refused to say if their generic works'

I'm fairly sure this is Shire's original patent for XR beads https://patents.google.com/patent/US6322819B1/

they have a subsequent patent for a more continuous delivery system https://patents.google.com/patent/US6913768B2/

(from plasma concentration, the double-pulsed one looks as smooth as continuous delivery, but I'm guessing the brain + blood half lives are different)

but the bead material is probably FDA scrutinized, and any chemical difference between the branded + generic version is in theory public knowledge; shocking nyt didn't like, call a chem lab or something before hitting send on this one

the author speculating that someone is complaining about switching from an immediate release to an XR also feels bogus -- presumably I would say in my tiktok that it's a capsule instead of a tablet?

You seem like a cool person, and are working hard towards a transition - congrats on getting this far. I think with a bit of effort you can follow through. A few thoughts:

- Website makes you look like a front end developer, but you are applying to full stack.

Stepping back a bit, an employer is asking the question: is this person the best person for the job that I'm hiring for? As the job seeker, you need to think about what type of job you are going to be the ideal candidate for and really focus on communicating that.

- Bullet points on resume could be improved. For example,
Content is easily added or removed using a JSON configuration file
Its a given that you would do that. It is so basic that it raised a flag in my mind. Its like saying, I used numpy to do math computations in python. It would be better to not include that statement.

Full stack web developer who will help your company succeed by completing projects on time and under budget.
This sentence comes off as pretty generic, and it is not clear that you have experience with that. It would be better to have an experience where you delivered a project under time constraints.

Anyways, sorry that I'm nitpicking a bit. It is hard to know exactly what is holding you back without knowing more about what jobs you are applying to, what is happening in the interviews, and so on.

I'd also think about if there is any company you can work at where having some background in industrial automation would be a plus.
Did you look into that claim at all? Michael Twaddle's "The Ending of Slavery in Buganda" seems to be one of the central writings about the end of the slave trade there. It seems that the connection to the Indian Ocean slave trade was through trading with Zanzibar. British colonial administrator Frederick Lugard ended the slave trade with Zanzibar, and freed the slaves there. I've looked at other sources as well, but from everything I can find that seem to be the extent that Buganda "helped end" Indian Ocean Slavery (there British colonial administrator helped end it).

If you read historical research on the ending of slavery in Buganda, it's similar to what I said. It was pushed by the British, often against intense local opposition.

That's what I'm going to do this August with my 3yr old as we'll be visiting friends and family etc.

I'd be taking a train to London (about 3h), then EuroStar to Paris (2h 15), then to Berlin (about 8h). Total time ~13 hours.

Flight time for me to Berlin is ~4h, but to get to Airport and the wait for boarding brings it probably close to 8h, but then I can't visit the relatives in Paris that easy.

Actually I don't like flying that much these days (the eco reasons aside).
Perhaps I've misunderstood, but it looks to me like the actors are green-screened into a [cg] scene. I don't think the scene is real actors in a real setting, then modified to replace actors with characters. Thus, there's no problem with the in-painting, the whole actor is on a different layer?

I'm seeing it in my phone. Like I said, maybe I misunderstood, but the scenes didn't seem like real places (eg shot cropped so foot-shadows aren't included, as this is hard to get right in the composition).
You may have just gotten lucky. It seems like the situation in the US is highly location/pharmacy-specific. The other variables are type (IR/XR, generic/non, etc.) and unit dosage. The worst hit seem to be 10mg/20mg generic IR Adderall, because that is usually the most popular and cheapest option. Switching to XR or to a less-common unit size (like 25mg) may increase the odds of finding it somewhere.

It really is a super frustrating situation. Because of the tight controls on the drug, prescriptions are almost always sent electronically from provider to pharmacy, and any changes or transfers must go through the provider. Most providers aren't going to play whack-a-mole by continuing to transfer the script, and as the article implies, changing medication type (Ritalin/Adderall/Vyvanse) or IR/XR can have significant impact on the effectiveness and potential side-effects. Responsible providers aren't just going to flip/flop medications without at least a consultation.

I know this. But it also contains levoamphetamine.

But as far as I know there's no clinically proven benefit(happy to be proven wrong) to including levoamph, and it can cause more side effects. Which is why in most countries these days adderall is not really prescribed, and often isn't even in the pharmacopoeia.

Why adderall is still in use in the US is an interesting question I don't have the answer to.

Say they have 90B deposits and 100B in long term treasuries

The carbon cost of a flight isn't a linear function of its distance, though — takeoff is much more expensive than cruise, and on long flights there's the cost of hauling the fuel itself, rocket-equation style. (Presumably the data underlying this website accounts for all that.)
I'm not a believer in anything.

The only think I've been repeating all along is that in your own example

On the one hand, you go to a friend and say "hey, can you lend me $100; I'll pay you back $105 in a year?" and your friend agrees.

On the other hand, your friend puts $100 into a 12 month CD, and the bank pays him a 2% interest rate. The bank then turns around and lends $100 to you as a 12 month personal loan with 5% APR.

M2 goes up in the second case where they end with $100 each (but doesn't in the first case where $100 change hands) because the example doesn't include any mention to a central bank removing from the money stock.
VC didn’t give them $60M to get a 4% return. They gave them that money to get 100’s% return, anything less and they don’t care.

People are speculating that gpt3.5 turbo is actually much smaller and that they are very likely currently making a profit on it. It seems likely just given how quickly some of the 3.5 turbo responses are from the api, and how much they push users to it. I haven't seen any really compelling theories of how they did it though, just the results...
They also downscaled it to 170x170 (Which is basically binning) and clipped the highlights at 216 (Which is basically Fourier space cropping)
The tool claims to take that into account, it breaks it down in the "show report" button. Liftoff is 3 tons of CO2.
Or just keep using davinci because is it’s also really cheap all things considered. I was excited about getting 1/10th the cost but also came to the same conclusion as you as turbo can’t actually do anything. I could care less about getting it to write porn or nazi propaganda but good lord it can’t even write code, do line edits or follow instructions more complicated than simple call/response.

There's no such thing as "standard /bin/sh". You're talking about busybox ash, or dash, or something else that is shipped as /bin/sh in your distro.

Take a look at winetricks, or clitest, or crossroot-ng, or shellspec. They are modular, easy to read, well written pieces of software that are written in shell.

In the 2000s, people used to say that it was impossible to write large stuff in JavaScript, and it was not a real language. They were wrong, because they only saw browser differences and the issues with it, not the great things about it. The bourne shell is in a similar state.

Raw format? That means without any debayering applied? That would mean every pixel has only either r, g or b information and not combined. Be aware that there exist different debayering algorithms, sometimes applied depending on the context.
Also, without any correction for sensor calibration? That would mean every sensor has a different raw image for the same input.
My point being, without application of algorithms, the info captured by the sensor does not really look like an image.
There is a line in the constitution that says "The validity of the public debt of the United States, ... shall not be questioned."

Some interpret this to imply that the courts could intervene in any case where legislative action would cause the US to fail to pay any existing debt. I think it's uncertain though, and I am curious what people more familiar with consitutional law think about this.
Rails or NextJS, right? I don’t think you’d need to use them together.

Can’t speak for Rails, but NextJS is a solid recommendation. Deploy it on Vercel or Netlify, use Supabase or something like that for the backend. Simpler than setting up on a traditional cloud provider like AWS and still gets you everything you’d need for most web apps.

> I really don't think the U.S. government will step in to provide additional funds.

If it was some small bank that was only impacting “regular people”, then probably the government would not do anything.

But that is not the case here. The depositors of SVB are very wealthy and powerful. Also the standard process of selling assets is too slow, and that delay could create a catastrophic domino effect. Famous investors are already calling for the government to fix the issue within 48hrs.

Maybe the government will step in as a temporary lender, letting depositors borrow against their deposits, which they will eventually get back.
Adderall is a mix of four amphetamine salts, of which dex is one. My impression is people went to dex because it was available as a cheap generic before Adderall's patent expired. But you can get generic Adderall now because the patent expired (cue: Vyvanse), so there isn't much of a cost reason to go on dex.
I would expect that aircraft emissions have a fixed cost + a distance dependent variable cost. Coupled with the fact that we are optimizing over a discrete set of locations, it is very possible that the optimal location is at one of the corners of the triangle.
I like to joke that sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between the mafia and the government, they both demand you give them money in return for protection.

Which is why the government goes after the mafia, they hate the competition.
I don't know why everybody is asking themselves why they are offering it so cheaply, it seems rather obvious:

1. Get near every company to jump on the hype train and integrate openai api into their processes.

2. Get overwhelming market share.

3. Slowly reduce costs by increasing model and computation efficiency and raise prices.

4. Profit.
> what we need to make them better is more density

I'd love to hear more about this, and how one defines "better", because it doesn't sound like this is going to work for everyone.

Full disclosure: I've spent the pandemic being amazingly grateful that - by chance - I happen to live in a low-density part of the world. It has its downsides, but on the plus side, from my home I can walk to open countryside in pretty much any direction in a few minutes.

That is mathematically true but not practically. Though indeed the Gaussian kernel has lots of zeros [1], in actuality, (a) the zeros themselves are at points, not regions, and therefore of little consequence, and (b) in practice the noise generated from reamplifying frequencies near these zeros can be minimized via techniques such as Wiener deconvolution [2].

> But as far as I know there's no clinically proven benefit

My impression of US pharma regulation and drug trials is that it would not have been approved if it did not show some benefit over the status quo. I don't know about adderall's clinical trials in particular, though.
Right, but in moments like this, people sitting in USDC have nowhere else to go.

Looking at the stablecoin markets right now, there are two choices... USDT or BUSD.

Or, BTC/ETH, which explains why those are currently up and everything else is down.
The wildly successful public buzz draws internal and external money towards the project. Outsiders now see Microsoft as freshly repositioned against Google, and OpenAI as a rising rocket; internal budget is likewise drawn to related endeavors because everybody wants to claim a piece of whatever hits big.

Meanwhile, yes, the preview provides both training data for the tooling, which has engineering value in AI, and usage data into how users think about this technology and what they intuitively want to do with it, which helps guide future product development.

Both these reasons are also why they’re (1) being so careful to avoid scandal, and (2) being very slow to clear up public misconceptions.

An safe, excited public that’s fully engaged with the tool (even if misusing and misunderstanding it) is worth a ton of money to them right now and so has plenty of justification to absorb investment. It won’t last forever, but a new innovation door seems to have opened and we’ll probably see this pattern a lot for a while.

My use case is IRC bots. If you just have the bot responding to only a single line and not knowing any of the chat history, yeah, it can be fairly cheap. But once you try to start giving it short term memory by feeding in the prior ~handful of lines you blow through that $18 of free credit in a couple weeks. Something that costs $25/mo is not cheap for a human person.

I suppose I'm also curious, are you applying to jobs that do algorithms and data structures interviews?

If so, you really need to nail those. A lot of people complain about those interviews, but they do serve a real purpose. There is a significant gap between building a small website and building a system that scales. If you are going after high impact software engineering jobs in the bay area, then you'll need to demonstrate that skill set. I don't see anything about algorithms and data structures in your resume, so I'd assume that you don't have that knowledge.

Granted this may be an unpopular opinion, but not having those skills significantly limits your upward potential.
