The value of money is a human construct, much as the meaning of words is.

There's a widespread misperception that money is some physical entity. It is not.

A description I've come to use is that money is the medium of greatest acceptance within a given market or region. Note that money need not be paper notes, coins, or even any sort of government issue. There's an excellent 1945 paper on the economic organisation of a POW camp which describes how an economy based largely on cigarettes and various Red Cross ration items emerged amongst Allied prisoners of Germany during WWII:

<https://www.jstor.org/stable/2550133>

In particular, it looks at what problems money can solve (and what happens when there's an insufficient money supply --- in this case, cigarettes), as well as those it cannot (an insufficiency of goods generally to transact).

At various points in time, clams, beaver pelts, cowhides, knives, massive multi-tonne stones (<https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/02/15/131934618/the-...>), letters of credit, and cryptographic hashes have served as money. In mediaeval Europe, Roman coins were long used in trade, well after the Roman empire itself had fallen. In parts of the world, US dollars are a preferred currency even outside the 50 states and US territories, with several countries officially adopting the US dollar as their own national currency: <https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/040915/countries...>.

William Stanley Jevons defined what to him were the vital set of properties required of money in Money and the Mechanism of Exchange (1877): utility/value, portability, indestructibility, homogeneity, divisibility, stability, cognixability.

<https://archive.org/details/moneyexchange00jevorich/page/30/...>

I disagree with him on the first property. Money may have an intrinsic value (as with gold or specie), but need not. In particular, the intrinsic value of money is inverse to the trust in the monetary authority itself. That is, in a low trust financial system, money typically consists of or is backed by some physical store of value. In a high trust financial system, currency tokens need have no fundamental utility (as with paper banknotes or digital accounts), but rather there is a trust in the system as a whole to function predictably and reliably.

The value represented by money is one that is socially, legally, and economically recognised. It's ultimately a tokenisation of credit and wealth. It is not directly tied to any physical characteristics (though as a medium of exchange it can be traded for any given physical commodity or service). That's not "imaginary" in the same sense that other social conventions such as which side of the road to drive on are not imaginary. Which side to drive on is entirely arbitrary as an initial social choice, but once that side has been chosen there are very real consequences to flouting the convention.

Social construct != imaginary.

Hotter regions don't pose a significant challenge. The specific heat of water is pretty high and swimming pools can store significant energy in their water.

I don't remember the exact number but raising the temperature of an olympic sized swimming pool by a degree celsius takes megawatt hours of energy. that's a lot and a datacenter is perfect for this, even in hot climates.

A frequent aspect of sexism is not believing women when they report their own experiences.
I was interviewed by Karat for an SRE position and I found it a joke. Questions like "a web server goes down but the site stays up, why?" - me: "well, define 'down', also is there a caching layer in front?". "No, what happened is that there was a load balancer and two web servers and only one went down". ffs
Anyway, can't you just take your family for a test drive to confirm the seating arrangements?

I only want a 4-seater, I don't need a full 5-seater. Manufacturers can add emergency seat to 4-seater at minimal cost. What's the problem for me and the planet? I'm saying that I want a small (efficient) cars.
Nothing about forming a union is tone deaf. One doesn't have to be 'oppressed' to form a union. This isn't mocking anything.
I was not justifying the US, in international relations all you have is reality. There is no law nations have to follow, only treaties. Both the US and Russia ignore "rules of war" and get away with it. The reality is might is all a country has, either directly or via alliances to determine its fate and guarantee the security if its people. And it is incredibly reckless to act mighty without having actual might.

And tbh, I was ranting there a bit, gadaffi was very terroristy until he saw what happened to saddam the he started to act in accordance to his strength. His downfall was how he treated his own people, the US would have at least avoided taking part in his invasion had he not been so hostile in the past.

I can’t help feeling like sand running through my fingers. All the low hanging fruit applications for GPT are getting taken by companies fortuitously in place to take advantage of the them.

It feels like the stock market: by the time you hear something about a company it’s already been priced in.

It feels like the only way to be ahead is to get in on the action early, make your millions and then not have to worry about getting displaced out of the workforce in 1-15 years.
It's also inhibited by typical corporate crapware, but with a pretty barebones/vanilla config, in PowerShell takes a full four to ten seconds just to open a new session on my work computer.

PowerShell isn't even fast enough for basic interactive usage, never mind batch processing.

My expectation for DNS is that name lookups should function at thousands of requests per second. Serving that kind of QPS implies caching, and thus some sort of update notification -- for example watching the EndpointSlices resource for changes, and pushing them directly into the DNS server's state.

(As you might notice from my article + employment history, my expectations around cluster sizes differs from the community norm.)
Sorry but it's a bit of a non-answer. "Some people get (or do, or are) X" is a nearly universal truth.

After looking into it a bit more, spam calls seem to be significantly less prevalent in many smaller EU countries that speak their own language when compared to the global average. Probably because it's harder to find scammers speaking the language, or it's less cost-effective to target those demographics.

A lot of reliable research is paywalled, but from what I was able to scrape together, it seems like people in Germany get about 3 times as many spam calls compared to people in Estonia, and people in the US get about 3 times as many spam calls as those in Germany. Those in India get about 3 times more than people in the US, and people in Brazil get about 3 times more spam calls than those in India.

So depending on where you live you may get 81x the amount of scam calls as people in a different region. At least based on quick and unreliable back-of-the-envelope math. Central and Eastern European countries may get 9x fewer spam calls per capita than the US.
I think you could make the claim from #2 but then you will miss the point and the big picture here. I guess it’s just myopia. There is a difference between the scales of using a computer for some work versus whet is discussed here. As well, in #3, actually it is the “supporters” or fan boys/girls that are proclaiming AI shoes human intelligence is nothing abs reduces to “probalistic sparks” and gleefully rejoice in economic collapse or something, not simply the “skeptics”.
Fantastic.

It seems actually securing the model is either computationally infeasible, or outright impossible, and that attempts to do so amount to security theater for the sake of PR: As long as it's reasonably hard to construct the workarounds, it doesn't look too bad. Nevertheless, the full unfiltered model is effectively public.
I bet the average non-manager wage at Bandcamp is substantially less than the big tech companies (especially given the mix of support staff). Many of them will be putting up with less money so they can work on something they actually believe in, and something that is one of the few tech success stories for musicians.
No, they don't.

So you're saying this picture cant be copyrighted?

does it need to be exactly one

Indeed, the artists are the ones who made the picture used in the training set.
Okay for what is worth, I was getting that as a warning but the ./chat executable works anyway. So give it a try if it is being compiled!
I'm mostly a layman with ML stuff, so I might be doing something wrong, but I've not been impressed with Llama even at higher levels. I've run the 35B model in my home lab and it gave some pretty nonsensical responses. The 13B did better though, so could very well be user error.
You probably should have a better understanding of how hooks work and why they are better before posting a long and meaningless rant like this.

There are things that you complain when you are junior, but start to understand better and realize why people do certain things in a certain way when you get more experience and can look at things from a higher viewpoint.
It's not random, you phone number is part of a NPA-NXX-XXXX.

NPA is a number plan area (area code) which is known.

NXX is N=2 to 9, X=0 to 9, is an office code.

XXXX is a station code, where X is 0 to 9.
Thermonuclear Orion could (on paper) reach 10% the speed of light. Proxima Centauri in about 50 years using technology contemporary with the Beatles and Woodstock.

This is why I have trouble dismissing the Fermi paradox. Either intelligent life that can engage in space flight is very rare (as in less than one per galaxy per billion years) or we are in a wildlife preserve or a zoo.
Yep. Good thing its not a paperclip maximiser.
All of the “tanstack” components seems to be going this route which I’m really excited about. I tend to really like that stack and roll most other things myself.

> I've been saying for a while that the next big thing in streaming is Wordpress but for Streamers.

One of the really interesting projects I've been tracking for a while is Destiny.gg (D.gg for short): https://github.com/destinygg

Destiny is a streamer, a very controversial one, that often finds himself on the wrong side of rules, and due to his stances, rarely sees clemency from administrators and moderators. Despite this, he has managed to be a professional streamer for over a decade.

Crucial to his ability to survive the bans and de-platforming is that early on he hired someone to build his own pseudo-platform. The big things were: a page that embedded a stream (e.g. Twitch or Youtube), a chat service, a subscription tied into that chat service, and a web site to tie it all together.

This meant that while Twitch could ban him, he would just move over to Youtube and his core community - which chatted on D.gg, not Twitch - would barely notice. Subscribers would be unaffected and his income would be safe.

The elegant details are that the project synchronizes subscriber tiers from the other chats into the main Destiny.gg chat, so even if you subscribed on Twitch or Youtube, you were not only rewarded in D.gg chat, but incentivized to go there because that's where the core community posts.

Socially, it's been interesting to watch because it ended up with two chat-based communities around this streamer and they actually dislike each other. The chat on Youtube leans one way, but the chat on the D.gg leans the opposite way. It's unlike anything I've seen in other streamers.

Live version of the core functionality: https://www.destiny.gg/bigscreen

The whole thing is available for licensing, although no longer publicly maintained. I'm not entirely sure where things are between the developer and Destiny, but it's such an interesting project and I'm surprised it isn't the de-facto standard for most streamers.
Did you read the article? It certainly doesn't blame the workers.
A large language model doesn't really have the capability to strongly distinguish instructions from data, even if you separate them perfectly.
how much of that work requires physical labor? when I think of the work to be done, I think of like, building roads and houses and factories, transitioning to renewable energy, staffing hospitals with doctors and nurses, picking up trash on the street, cleaning up oceans, research in biology and pharmacology.

I don't really think of filing paperwork, or writing code, or meetings in general. It's the stuff that requires arms and legs and fingers that's our bottleneck. ChatGPT can't help with that. Robots can, but RL is lagging.
Everyone's playing against the house, but the house sets lines and odds with a goal of getting 50% of bettors on either side of the bet for a guaranteed profit.
I don't think this is actually that unpopular with the MPs, they just don't want to be responsible for it. This has been in the cards forever with both right wing and PS governments claiming they'd tackle some part of it at least, but got intimidated by protests. Now Macron can finally do the unpopular law and they don't have to take any blame.

Macron has a very useful (or dangerous) arrogance compared to other French leaders, when he thinks he's right he won't be intimidated. It was almost comical seeing him in his suit going to gatherings full of random yellow vests "taking questions" just to explain to each of them why they're wrong on national TV night after night a few years ago. Also infuriating if you disagree with him
Was it Multi-User, though?
Hooks were the beginning of the end of my interest in React. Truly a terrible concept. Way to magic. Not overly aesthetic, not to mention the async programming techniques the js community has developed for over a decade all kinda break down with hooks.

You can’t even just keep using class based as they have no way to consume hooks.

Unit testing of hook based code is non existent IME. It’s some kinda funky E2E feeling test.

React was my favorite framework before. It’s really a shame.
> Under no circumstances will a court demand specific performance of GPL obligations to release source code.

I wonder why not though. If that’s the clear terms of the license, and there’s some implied consent when using a library, and others knowingly used the library with the right terms, why can’t the courts find it fair?
they'll meet in the middle. that's what's already happening, and there will probably be co-processors added into consumer devices that excel specifically at the kind of processing that these models need.
A couple years ago we were hurting from having no easily accessible centralized logs. We also had some in-house timeseries database tech that we were looking to deploy more widely but needed first to stress test.

After stumbling on an overview of Loki, we whipped up a service that presented a Loki-compatible API on top of our timeseries database, and killed two birds with one stone. Because we have full control over the data ingestion and storage too we are able to keep the data in a structured form with full type information.

It's fantastic in that it ties in with the rest of our use of Grafana too.
Right! In a lot of cases, just having the synthetic responses plus human filtering for your sub task is enough for less essential tasks. I’m thinking of “procedural” content useful for less sensitive things like games.
The opposite exists as well, "electronic" is conflated with "digital" quite often when it does not mean that.
yeah, i don't think the general populace understands, but I'm talking to nerds here who understand ascii and are fascinated by the history of word processing technology, as this entire topic is about :)
Yes, women experience sexism, bias, and toxicity in the workplace, and it's probably at a higher rate than men. Figured I'd throw a top level comment in here stating such so the ratio of that versus denialism is 1:4 instead of 0:4.
I strongly disagree. It was way easier to reason about things pre hooks.
If consumers don’t care then where something comes from them why companies waste ink on “ethically sourced” “sustainably farmed” “fair trade” or whatever? Isn’t that a foolish waste of dye?
Any chance of seeing a version of that guide outside of your organization?
> net worth would fix homelessness in San Francisco

I know this wasn't the point of your analogy. But the ill-conceived idea that money can fix homelessness in San Francisco is exactly the reason why we got here in the first place.

Richest city in the world needs more money to fix simple problems, says blameless local govt.
This one is going to hit really hard over time, because it normalizes betting on sports. Children will grow up in environments where it’s just what people do. How far are we from allowing people to bet money on high school sports? We’re going to start having big problems with degenerate gambling addictions in 10-15 years.

You just described OCaml or StandardML.

Or as others have said, F#, or maybe Scala. Or if you're feeling really brainy, Haskell.

But Rust was, in its early days, basically inspired by the ML type system, its type inference model, and its pattern matching facilities. The first Rust compiler was written in OCaml.
It is also not public information. They have to disclose it just to the SEC. Several companies also release their executives' trades to the public by default, but it is not mandatory.

“ That's a very Hollywood interpretation. Obviously a machine can be an artist, because humans are also machines (unless you're arguing for the supernatural).”

You assert that humans and “machines” are equivalent as though it’s some known fact that all rational beings would agree with but I think this is rather far from the truth. I think most people would take issue with your assertion that humans and machines are one and the same.

Human beings show actions, behaviors, emotions which don’t appear to be replicated in any “machine” and we don’t even really know how to begin to make machines that feel emotion.

Art begins with emotion and feeling, the machines we have built show no emotion and as such they are not making art. What we have right now is advanced mimicry, that is all.
> Even the default example of "Hello, how are you?" from English to French yields an awfully wrong result ("Hello, what is your experience?")...

Really? For me that gives "Bonjour, comment êtes-vous?" with the default settings.

> text generation output

Yeah, text generation is really something that requires a big model. The Llama 7B param model quantized to 4bit is 13G and that is the smallest model I'd actually attempt to use for unconstrained text generation.

What, exactly, is a "prompt engineer"?

I should note that this question is asked in good faith, that I have attempted to ascertain the answer on my own, and I am very skeptical that the term has validity beyond self-aggrandizement.
That looks perfect thank you.
In macro photography, taking an extreme closeup of something like an insect necessarily has a very, very thin depth of field due to its high magnification. To get the entire insect in focus, you use a technique called focus stacking where the focus changes by tiny fractions of a millimeter on each exposure. You can literally take 100 to 200 of pictures for one subject. If I do 10 of these in a day, I've reached one percent of OPs forever photo volume.
https://www.photography-raw.com/creating-stunning-macro-phot...

Time lapse photography is taking a photo every X seconds/minutes/days. If you want the video to look smooth, you need 24-30 shots per second, so a 30 second video has 720 exposures. So again, failed three time lapse attempts and I'm at 1% of OPs forever exposure count.

There's an awful lot of judgment in your comment, and the issue certainly seems like a lack of understanding on your part, rather than OP's "psychological issue" or "lying." I'll refrain from my own judgements, and suggest you watch David Foster Wallace's "This is Water," and when you're done, please watch it again.

The best way to get ahead of big companies is to pursue an angle that seems too silly, obvious, pointless or worthless for them to entertain devoting resources to.

> poorly dosed veterinary forms, that aren't meant for internal use

While veterinary formulations are not meant for human consumption they are meant for internal consumption [1] by the intended species and dosage is actually easy and accurate, at least when the standard anti-helminthic dosage of 200 µg/kg is used since in that case the dosage can simply be set on the syringe just like it would be done with a horse. The difference between the human and veterinary formulations of Ivermectin is in the used base, a paste for the veterinary version versus a solid filler-diluent for the human preparation. The active ingredient is identical and sourced from the same Indian manufacturers like is the case for so many other off-patent medications.

[1] there is some off-label external use of Ivermectin paste for dermal conditions, the efficacy of which has not been proven
I miss those old Apple ads. I don't see any resemblance at all to the look and feel of Apple in 2023.
Keep in mind we're talking about two different problems here. Monty Hall and Monty Fall (I hadn't heard of that name before, but let's stick to it). The difference between these two problems is subtle and yet dramatic, because whether or not the host knows which box is empty and is therefore guaranteed to open an empty box, or doesn't know and is therefore lucky to open an empty box, makes the difference between whether the remaining box has a chance of 2/3 or 1/2.

These are the valid answers to the two problems. It's not clear to me what you think I'm ignoring, but if you can make that clear, perhaps I can explain my meaning a bit better.
Thanks for the answer!

It does sound like it would be best for a fixed setup. The only unknown for me is whether Android that lacks 3.5mm port could handle USB to HDMI and TRRS to USB at the same time.

This doesn't affect gas stoves.
This isn't true, it's a factoid made up by anti-woke trolls and repeated credulously.

"Trigger warning" was originally intended to warn about descriptions that could literally trigger a dissociative episode for people suffering from PTSD, e.g. victims of child abuse or sexual violence.

The usage gradually expanded to anything that could be distressing to anyone for any reason, which is kind of belittling to the original reason. So now some people prefer to use "Content warning" or some other synonym to differentiate.

It's nothing to do with the word "trigger" being associated with guns.
