Benadryl can reduce itching and hives but it will not treat the life-threatening parts of an anaphylactic reaction (suffocation from tongue/throat swelling and/or dangerously low blood pressure). Epinephrine is the only thing that can save you from anaphylaxis, and it should be given early to stop the reaction before it spirals out of control. Don't give Benadryl and think that you're safe, call 911 immediately on any sign of swelling or breathing difficulty or lethargy from low blood pressure.

All that said, you absolutely should give peanut butter (and other allergens) early and often. If you don't, you're signing your kid up for much worse odds of anaphylaxis later. The good news is fatal anaphylaxis is extremely rare even in people with confirmed food allergies, and even lower in infants than older kids and adults. Even when anaphylaxis occurs epinephrine is extremely effective, so anaphylaxis deaths are almost always due to failure to treat with epinephrine. So just make sure that you have access to prompt medical treatment if you need it (i.e. not camping in the mountains far from any hospital), and give those allergens ASAP.

That would be awesome. We have a never-ending list of things to do and not enough time to do it all. What you're saying to me is that we can get through our list of priorities even faster, and stuff won't continually rot at the end of the list.
TIL about Normal Mapping, which to my layman eyes kind of looks like computing a hologram on the flat surface of an object. In the coin example in TFA, even though I now 'know' that the coin is a cylinder, the normal map gives it very convincing coin shape. Cool!
Outside of the US this is pretty much how most hospitals operate. You get through the door, you get care.
As with all things it not a panacea. The studies only see that peanut allergies decrease with early exposure. However, there always some kids that will have or not have allergies in both groups.
I've seen two pictures of OpenAI annual retreats (something like that.) They're group photos of about two hundred people: employees of OpenAI and their friends and relatives. There are no black people in the photos. I'm just sayin'.
And for some problems it's even efficient. Not factorial, though.
It's absolutely not backwards. More children developed allergies (almost definitely because of the lack of exposure), but it wasn't known that would happen. What we did know is not exposing children to a trigger of anaphylaxis would prevent them from dying from anaphylaxis, so, similar to many dangers, the most logical course of action is to remove the risk altogether.

Yes, it's well known doing that with anything can have unknown secondary effects, but there's also a million everyday things we logically don't let infants do or be exposed to that we aren't establishing the statistical significance of either.

Incidentally, with all of our advanced medicine and understanding of the human body, we still don't understand why some people develop severe allergic reactions to some foods and others don't, so let's not pat ourselves too hard on the back for developing better food exposure protocols from trial and error over decades.

yep I tried asking chatgpt to optimize some SQL queries with a heavy amount of full outer joins. The optimization I was trying to push it to was specifically adding an index on a column or filtering the first table that we join on but it kept creating SQL subqueries and switching the full joins to left joins no matter what I told it and the sql errors I sent it

There is a precedent that any work done in a data center on behalf of a user, because a user initiated the action, has the same protections as if the user had performed the action themselves. It has been used, in connection to copyright, to allow "cloud DVR services".

I'd argue that in the case of AI generated work as we see it now, especially if a prompt from the user is required, that work would not exist except for the action of the user, and is thus created by their action.

Sample size 1, but I've got a kid. I've got an ipad. I put the two together in with supervision, and what I've got now is a 4 year old that reads the walls in the bathroom stall while she's pooping.

This Roko's Basilisk thing is getting a bit old though? If a super-intelligent AI is going to become vindictive, no one is really safe? The use case where some people survive because they were nice seems far fetched to me.
I had the same thought watching my son as a baby. So much of his day seemed to be focused on predicting what happens next, and he got so much joy when he succeeded. So many life skills are predicated on knowing that if I do this, that will happen, which gets me closer to my goal. I started to wonder if intelligence and prediction are really the same thing.
Had similar experience watching TV ads. It started with a beauty ad which was plainly targeting viewers’ body image insecurities. Was very jarring to recognize how dark and manipulative the glossy, “upbeat” ad truly was.

Then recognized same pattern in every TV ad afterwards, almost all target some sort of insecurity or feeling of lack.

Not a very exhaustive test, but it gives pretty good answers when I put in the things my teen was asking while doing their algebra homework. Of course it would only help if they asked questions in order to understand, rather than having it just do the homework: but the same is true for a human tutor.

Where did we let it replicate?
It really IS weird to reason about.

`useEffect(f, [])` runs on every render, but only installs the effect once. The other times its not installed. That means standard language facilities such as *closure capture* don't quite work as expected unless you pass them in that list `[]` too

Its not impossible to get used to it, but thinking in hooks is profoundly different than thinking with normal javascript.

I think the original design wanted so badly for state to fully live outside of React, but unfortunately, the information about what components are currently active on the screen is very relevant for what the state should be doing. As such, I think that approach just doesn't work no matter how much we'd like it to work.

Which one is most efficient?

As a MEng I’d think the more polygons would be as you’re just rendering simple shapes but more of them. The other simple disc is more power hungry because it requires some special bits on a graphics card or whatever.
I’d argue SSG and caching are the same solution just a difference in where the cache resides (disk vs memory) and warming strategy (on-demand vs preemptive)

I can imagine media products "lie" (by omission, by implicit bias, or even blatantly) but will need some references to reorient to the idea the scale is the same.

> How long would it take a good assembly programmer to implement a CRUD web server connected to a database?

You know you can call import functions and call libraries in other languages than python? If everyone was programming in assembly then there would be plenty of libraries to make database calls or make web servers in assembly, and there would be plenty of tutorials online that you could copy and paste to get things going, meaning it wouldn't take much work at all. It would be more work, but not orders of magnitude more work.
Is there a patch for the kernel 6 line to add back the lar_disable functionality?
Of course everyone loses to an extent in a collapse but power is relative. And short of a meteor collapses are usually partial (e.g. the roman empire fell but the church remained and consolidated power).

You can only paint with a broad brush but it's not exactly hard to pick out groups that will be net recipients of relative power and wealth in various collapse scenarios.

If the financial system collapses people who own capital in whole (e.g. some tradesman with his van full of tools) and people who own "promises" of things (the contents of your 401k, bank account, etc) lose. If high level government collapses people who are associated with alternate sources of organization and administration (local government, the church) win. If local government collapses people who depended a lot on those services lose and people who already went without win.

Remember, money and political capital are convertible to each other to an extent so that complicates things as well.

So it's perfectly rational for people to root for the kind of specific tumultuous change that would benefit them.

Thanks for elaborating, I actually fully agree with the points you've made here.

I am so tired of hearing people telling others "the safe ways" of moving forward. If you actually know the risk and knowingly take it, I respect it a lot, regardless off how it pans out.

And I believe that optimizing for entirely "risk-minimizing" choices is a path to mediocrity and feeling unsatisfied in the long-term (and, often enough, limiting your overall potential heavily), as well as missing out on tons of opportunities.

Mind you, there is nothing wrong with mediocrity, but a lot of people who end up going down that path end up there unwillingly and, commonly, due to having an almost zero-tolerance risk aversion.

Nope, they're just saying that some people worrying about hard AGI takeoff argue that alignment is a more important problem to solve than many others because a) an aligned AGI can help us solve all the other problems, and b) an unaligned AGI can make all the other problems irrelevant due to, well, human extinction.

So if you have liberal values and consider a hard takeoff a likely near-to-medium-term scenario, then it's perfectly reasonable to argue that you should prioritize alignment research over almost anything else, because it's a critical instrumental goal for achieving all your other goals. This by no means makes you any less of a liberal, or more of a conservative.

But people who are more interested in virtue signalling than results, and/or don't know about or believe in a hard takeoff scenario, may interpret this train of thought as "conservative" because it appears to not match the standard thought patterns that a good, card-carrying liberal is supposed to have.
I have the 512 GiB version and didn't need to use microSD yet, so can't say what would bother me if I had to. Currently after about 10 months of using Steam Deck I have 70 GiB of space left on SSD. I would say if slower speed, lower reliability/endurance of microSD does not bother you when you run out of space on microSD there will be nothing to regret, and if it starts bothering you you can always replace the existing SSD with a bigger one yourself, considering how DIY friendly and open Steam Deck is.
I'm not sure how the law would be interpreted, but from my technical viewpoint, robots.txt is not an access control at all because it makes no attempt at controlling access. It's merely advisory, no different than if you put a readme.txt that said "I don't want xxx to come here". There are other mechanisms to do actual access control if that's what the site owner wants.
Twitter Files #19 – Stanford, the Virality Project, and Censorship
I've returned to Java after using Clojure and Groovy for several years. I appreciate the fact that Java's just plain boring and slightly verbose.

Most of the time the complexity in my code has little to do with Java being verbose and more due to the business problem. There are areas to improve and Java's been making great strides recently. For example, in Java 21 we may finally have methods like getFirst() and getLast() for lists (via JEP 431) instead of the incredibly clunky list.get(list.size() - 1). Java also recently added multi-line Strings and templating is coming shortly. Streams and Optionals also reduce quite a bit of boilerplate, e.g. Optional's map and ifPresent methods are often elegant. Really I can't think of many other areas where Java gets in the way. Our team is incredibly productive with modern Java.

I think most developers actually write overly verbose code regardless of the language. And it seems little to do with years experience. This youtube channel covers most of the basics:

https://www.youtube.com/@CodeAesthetic

To me I just follow these recommendations naturally but in most PRs I review there's often huge amounts of overly nested code, poorly named methods, etc.
The problem is most people do not try to put any effort into understanding what they are doing by the computer.

When you ask your wife to fetch you from work at 5 you don't have to explain:

* That she needs to take a car,

* That there must be enough fuel in it,

* That she has to plan some time for the drive and add extra if traffic is expected on the way,

* That she needs to let you know if there are unforeseen circumstances which will likely mean she won't make it.

And yet for some reason, whenever the topic of doing anything at the computer comes up between us, I feel like I have to start from scratch.

"The printer does not work again. Can you help?"

"Is the printer on?"

"Can you check it, you are better at it"

Checking the printer... of course somebody turned it off.

I think there is a combination of laziness and probably something else which makes some people treat computers as not their problem. For the most part the companies making hardware and software cater to these people making stuff they care about as intuitive as possible. They are fantastic when it comes to activities that make ads pop in front of your eyes.

The trouble is with everything else.
To run inference, you need to load a model from disk into RAM. Usually the model is written in a disk format that is convenient but needs to be parsed at runtime into a RAM-resident C application data structure.

In this case, it looks like jart@ modified malloc to capture the memory generated by the loading process and serialized that to disk. When you run, the application calls mmap to make a virtual memory association with the bytes on disk- so any time you access RAM and it's not yet loaded, ti gets loaded from disk. At that point it gets saved by the kernel in a page cache and since the files on disk don't change, those pages can stay in memory longer than the process. So when the process restarts, all those RAM requests are immediately mapped to already-cached virtual memory, rather than reading from disk.

The inference library here supports a data pointer that would point to the memory mapped location.

This is faster than relying on the kernel's disk read cache; in that case, you'd still need to convert the data from the disk format to the in-memory format.

Normally the data build process is run as an external program that writes the mmap-ready structure to disk (an example is the BLAST program which writes the DNA sequence data into an index structure that is mmapped at runtime). But in this case ti looks like using an instrumented malloc() helps simplify the process of building the disk structure.
You can say least let your children play in the dirt and expose them to a variety of animals without traveling to another country.
How does jart find the time? Just a brilliant engineer who is seemingly cranking out amazing projects on a regular basis.
