This is the ideal case. However, I have been involved in quite a bit of European projects and it is not that easy. Last meeting was in Poznan and I could have used the train via Berlin from south Germany, but somehow I have not been able to book any night trains lately and traveling over the day would have taken a whole day of my work week instead of half. Next trip is the other direction to The Hague. I will take the train but last time I had to replan my trip 3 times while traveling due to cancellations and delays. I don't want to fly but I am always totally stressed after long train trips. To a typical meeting people from like 10 countries come in a European research project. Traveling from Germany to Spain or even Greece is not really feasible by train until we get better night train connections (only Austrian rail is actually operating them, but there seems currently no chance to book them)
That’s a very biased take on things, evidenced by dismissing the other side as idiots.

A more balanced take might be, why does the US end up with such a high proportion of corrupt idiots on both sides of the political spectrum in Congress and the Senate?

I picture someone 20 years from now trying to find out what their parent really looked like when they were young. The obviously smoothed-out face filters are already giving way to AI-powered homogenization. And the filtering is moving deeper down the stack from the app to the camera itself.

Yes, the state for both is a long window / sequence. Under this view, for the transformer we do not need to compute anything for the previous tokens as due to the causal nature of the model, the tokens at [0, ... N-1] are oblivious to the token N. For token N we can use the previous computations since they do not change.
It's called fine tuning [0] but it's not yet available for chatgpt, only older models.

Amazingly that ugly thing has no short circuits and there's a connection on all six tracks. Clearly, that's very fragile so I mixed up some epoxy glue and covered the whole thing up.

If you're going to do something similar I would suggest not relying on just epoxy. Consider adding something like a strip of denim as backing support.
In this case the "map" is simply a set of high-res images, not a computer model. I don't think an image can be aware.
It turns out that there was very little defaulting in 2008, the problem was the fear of default which resulted in changing valuations that were not broadly expected.

In this case, there is no doubt about the value of SVB’s assets: they’re lower than they were a year ago simply because they were heavily long duration and rates went up a lot. That’s bond pricing 101.

That, in combination with a low diversity of depositors that starting withdrawing at once, set up the bank run that VCs created by emailing all their portfolio companies to run.

Every study I've seen on this has been complete bunk.

Which makes sense because how on earth could getting 1 hour less sleep on a random Saturday once a year lead to untold numbers of deaths?

It's absurd. Change your clocks and if it bothers you drink an extra glass of wine at dinner and nod off a little sooner. People that get emotional about daylight savings are an odd bunch to say the least.
This is true, we could definitely do with less "compulsory participatory theatre" at airports.

That said, the FAA != TSA. We like the FAA. They solve actual problems.
Sure it's not "true" if you can find a single good cop anywhere in the world, which I'm sure you can since the process isn't instantaneous. But it's only not true then in the most technical and gee whiz well-actually way.

The dynamic is real and because of it the statement is nearly always true, ie a useful model for predicting outcomes in the world.

Using algorithms to take multiple pictures and stack them together is fine. The information is real, exists, and objective. People in the background won't (for example) suddenly be facing the other way because of the algorithm.

The problem is that AI isn't just interpolating data. It is wholesale adding extra data that simply doesn't exist. The person in the background is facing left, but the sensor couldn't possibly have captured that detail even after multiple images--it was a coin flip that the AI made.

The issue is that, like privacy, most people won't care ... until they do. By that time, it will be too late.
Nit: it’s brinksmanship by the republicans. They happily blow up the deficit and raise the debt ceiling when they’re in power, but then cry foul as soon as there’s a democrat in the White House. I don’t know of any time the democrats have refused to raise the debt ceiling as a negotiating tactic.
Take my word for it, I am no fan of the CCP. That said, if you research the matter, you'll find that every major Chinese (PRC) company has CCP board members. Should they all be banned? It's not possible to prosper in the corrupt PRC business environment without CCP connections. Jack Ma's recent experience should be a lesson for all.
I think real arrays are the exception to this rule. They're the only non-posix shell feature I use consistently. Otherwise, whenever you want to gather a list of strings or filenames and then iterate through them, you need to worry about delimiters and splitting and parsing and IFS and that's simply not worth the dubious benefit of not including a bash shebang.

If you really need to run the script on alpine, just install bash. If you're really space-constrained, then sure, go back and refactor the arrays into newline-delimited strings or whatever, but I've never had to do that and I doubt I ever will. Getting to use arrays means my scripts can avoid dealing with the horrible quirks of shell tokenization, and that's 100% worth it to me.
Awesome work, happy to see you’re putting them to good use ;)
Summarization is one the areas ChatGPT is most reliable. I’ve been using it frequently for research and work and antidotally found it to be quite reliable and helpful.

Anyone know if it's possible to run a modern distribution on this? I had a bit of difficulty running full-fledged Linux on a Thinkpad X60 due to it being 32bit. Linux mint debian edition came to my rescue, but I wonder if you'd need linux from scratch or something like that.
I can highly recommend older Nikon DSLRs and older AF-D or manual focus AI-s lenses. Youbhet full frame bodies, the awesome D700 for example, and a very decent set of lenses rivaling the holly trinary for around the same price you pay for a Z50 with a kit lens. Nothing wrong with a Z50, it is a great camera. But the old, used gear is just such better value IMHO. Ai-s lenses are getting more expensive so since a couple of years so.

The remaining budget can go into going to nice places to shoot nice photos, and to print them nicely and large enough to put on your wall choice.

I picked Nikon, but I assume Canon works as well.
I'm gonna plug Roger Pielke Jr (obligatory not a climate change denier by any means disclaimer) who talks a lot about issues like these. Climate change has become an industry now. A lot of people are selling research and solutions and they hype up the problem as much as they can even if it's not realistic. Nobody on the center or left has been checking them because they don't want to be labeled a climate change denier. Good to see that's starting to change.

> There was a time when 1GB of memory cost maybe $50 but you had to pay a sizeable premium to buy a server capable of handling more than 4GB.

Looking at the memory price timeline https://jcmit.net/memoryprice.htm it was middle 2007 when 1GB memory hit $50 (row 2007.33 it's a very big drop in $/memory as you can see in the second column). A contemporary server motherboard would be the Supermicro X7DCL https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/5100/MNL-0957... with six slots of DDR2 memory capable of handling 48GB RAM https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/33142/i... but even with cheap memory it was easily doing 12-24GB RAM.

Looking at it from another angle, https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/ReleaseNotes150 "Memcached was introduced in 2003" which is a bit after Socket 604 and looking at those boards https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/archive/?mlg... it does not seem like at that era 8GB maximum would be uncommon (8GB instead of 4GB because we want to use cheaper than top modules), in fact very few motherboards top out at 8GB, most could do a lot more. This is to say, there doesn't seem to be a period of history where memcached existed but commodity servers handling more than 8GB didn't exist.

Yet another angle, I upgraded from the Panasonic CF-Y5 to a ThinkPad T400s because the CF-Y5 topped out at 2GB and that was in 2009 (I checked my records, 2009 August 11) and so servers not handling vastly more is extremely unlikely. At this time the company I worked with certainly had dedicated memcached boxes yes, but a lot more than 4GB RAM, can't remember exactly how much.

I would cautiously say you misremember your numbers.
Laravel is highly batteries-included (e.g. on the auth front) and works with Vue or React now - it includes a module called Inertia that connects the Laravel server-side with the Vue/React client-side. Caveats: Laravel is in PHP and is quite mature, so there's quite a bit to get used to.

When you say "the system worked" because depositors will get back some as-yet-undetermined percentage of their deposits, that's not relevant to an insider trading discussion -- that's shifting the topic from whether investors in SVB were harmed, to whether depositors were harmed.

I don't quite understand your position on insider trading. The idea behind making it a crime is that no matter how "sophisticated" an outsider is, they don't have insiders' non-public information. Insiders can profit from the information gap between them and the people they sell their shares to. There's certainly disagreement about how to ban insider trading while making it possible for officers of the company to trade at all, but the basis of the law is that no amount of due diligence can undo that imbalance in information.

It sounds like you're saying that one might decide, as an individual, that the system is unfair or imperfect or corrupt, and decide to diversify. That's probably good advice. But that is a practical measure that doesn't really address the problem being discussed.

I think the entire article could be summarized as “historically there were a bunch of scenarios projecting possible future emissions. We have made progress on reducing emissions, so therefore we should emphasize some of the lower-emissions scenarios and retire the high-emissions scenarios.”

It’s an eminently reasonable request, one that should be celebrated. I don’t know why it’s necessary to write thousands of words impugning the scientific integrity of climate science.

What is much scarier to me are possible effects of GHGs that could make any emissions path much worse. Methane levels seem to be increasing, which could make current projections obsolete very quickly.
Vercel does not require authorization through GitHub, so it does not receive my personal access token.

Vercel does all operations with a GitHub account through its GitHub App, which the user can install on his account and give permission to access the repositories. That's why I don't understand how Vercel does create a new repository.

Who eats the cost of their salaries after FDIC took over and deferred bankruptcy?

To add to the Australian landscape in this discussion:
- only convictions are assessed against, not arrests.

- only relevant convictions are assessed against.

- most states expunge convictions after a certain number of years. Those convictions will not ever be considered in any job application ever, nor any court case. There are some small number of exceptions.

- your record is as tightly held as a state secret.

- there is no third party access to records beyond police and courts.

- there are no for-profit prisons with quotas. I don't believe there are many, if any, for profit prisons at all. They are looked down upon.

- the judiciary is well educated, career accomplished, is not voted in, and has an expectation of continued professional development.

- the judiciary tends to be more progressive than politicians, focusing on interventions and improvement rather than incarceration, where appropriate and possible.

With “a little” interest, not at all commensurate with the risk taxpayers took on with the bailout investment

> Unfortunately, the return paid on TARP did not keep pace with these private returns. Thus, taxpayers ended up subsidizing banks, and hence the narrative that “banks paid every penny of TARP with interest” is a bit misleading and certainly incomplete.

> But the gains from the recovery were captured disproportionately by the recipient banks. Hence a nuanced interpretation of our results is that the TARP return was less-than-fair for the risk it imposed on the taxpayers, and the banks ended up getting a subsidy to the tunes of billions of dollars in the process.

Please don't. Anyone on HN who wants a ChatGPT summary can make one themselves; when I read a person's post I want to know what that person has to say about a topic, not what they can produce with a machine. It's the same reason we don't need comments along the lines of 'I used a spell checker to identify the typos in your comment' or consisting of tables generated in MS Excel.

edit: it's not due to any antipathy to AI. I love using ChatGPT myself.

This is total 'whataboutism'. This bank failure is the second largest of all time in the US, and has a potential massive contagion with lots of ripple effects through the tech industry.

Man... I just find neural connectomes so depressing.

It's like looking at the copper wiring on the motherboard, or the pins of the CPU, when what you really want is the logic from the networked gates (transistors).

Yet it seems we are many, many decades away from being able to extract that in any comprehensible or definitive way.

I need to stop reading neuroscience articles. There's always big proclamations, Like "the neural circuitry behind arithmetic has been discovered!" then you dig into the meat and it's mostly guesswork and hypothesis based on correlated activity and connectivity, no logic to be seen.

Bush presided over a few debt ceiling fiascos run by Democrats - I think the first ones in modern times were under the Bush administration. Trump wasn't in office for long enough with an opposition congress to have had any time for congress to play these games: his cronies raised the debt ceiling a lot in his first 2 years in preparation for the next 2. Otherwise, the only presidents since Bush have been Democrats, so the opposition party doing this would be the Republicans.

Unfortunately I feel like submissions on the site, as well as general content online, of the same type for significantly less academic subjects (this new cool web framework I'll spend 6000 words writing about) are the norm now.

And before anyone says so, no it has nothing to do with the supposed lessened attention span smartphones have caused. I'm not wasting 15 minutes of my life reading about social media recommendation algorithms [1] when not even a single paragraph is dedicated to at least some rudimentary technical explanation behind them.

Same goes for 30-minute YouTube videos attempting to maximize monetization for subjects whose explanation in less than 10 minutes for an average intelligence person is adequate.

Here's also a recent example of ideal, imo, technical writing that is sadly getting more scarce:

The "salt" is in the form of brine, it's a liquid and you'd need huge evaporation ponds to keep up with the outflow if you wanted to dry it all out to sell. If you put your desalination plant near urban areas, where the demand for fresh water is, then the land you'd need for evaporation ponds would be a lot more expensive, and I suspect the profit margins for salt are fairly tight (sea salt competes with salt mines where they just scoop the stuff right out of the ground.)
There's always been money in streaming when you're doing it with pipelines, ships, and barges.

Sure it takes decades but this was a startup financed by a small family loan, rather than true venture capital that could more realistically be considered "Other People's Money".

So they get to be private, start their exponential growth from a much more retarded point, and have to leverage other people's pipelines, ships, and barges or it wouldn't work.

Even in a capitalist market, enough strength can sometimes be built without other people's money, that it can be an unfair advantage compared to the capital-bound operators making up the majority of the market itself.

Entrepreneurialism != Capitalism.

With Roku I heard of it here and it turns out I had a pretty good idea about their streaming. But no further interest other than to see how they do financially over the years, as a spectator.

I'm hardly a consumer at all.

So definitely didn't find out about Roku as a consumer.

But before I knew it my brother got one, he consumes that stuff and now I'm more familiar than I wanted to be.

I would actually call it kind of boring myself.

The OpenStack console is pretty good, imho

If you have an 8GB vm you can see it in action via https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/zed/guides/single-vm.htm...

2.5” 2T Samsung ssd on Amazon is $135 and a 2T nvme is slightly cheaper at $125. That $10 in savings is going to totally be eaten in adapters though.

So there are 5.25” multiple m2 adapters out there like
