I was prototyping a similar project before as well but ended up abandoning it because the the resulting cover letter just seemed too generic, non-authentic and business sounding.

Sure, let's blame social media for the troubles of our youth.

It's not the endless wars.

It's not the endless poverty.

It's not the endless divisiveness.

It's not the endless media fearmongering of X or Y.

It's TikTok. It's Instagram. Etc.
There’s evidence that cloudflare is what, threatening to ddos people if they don’t sign up?

What would need an experiment to prove that? You would just have the proverbial receipts

Or do you have proof that they’re actually ddos in people?
I'll wager the opposite because even modern AI sucks at anything other than language interpretation. AI is absolutely awesome for history recall, but ask it to innovate and you will find where the limits lie.

Also I've yet to run across a single AI that can successfully implement a new feature in a 10+ year old code base that consists of a hundreds of thousands of lines of code and a gazillion different dependencies.

Believe me, I've tried. It would make my job MUCH easier.
I suspect it would improve things drastically in Utah. That’s what I’d bet on, anyway. I’m a libertarianish person, so I don’t love this legislation, but… I’m not gonna lie. It half makes me want to move to Utah.

Not this time. Most of these vulnerabilities still exist if you're running something like Chat GPT locally.

This is going to be a real problem with semi-intelligent agents. They need some access and power to accomplish anything, but less than the power their user has.
At that scale, they’re likely profiteering off a commodity whose value is outpacing the logistics security.

They’re making prices worse for everyone.
“ n order to slow the rate of the damage, the Federation Council shared the findings with all known warp-capable species and imposed a speed restriction of warp factor 5 on all Federation vessels in all but extreme emergencies. The areas of space most damaged by that point were restricted to essential travel only.”
The FAA and its standards only exist at the pleasure of Congress, who, through legislation, delegated power to it.

The article itself even talks about changing this supersonic flight rule through Congress' FAA reauthorization bill.
Sure, but you can't mark 100% of non-cash net worth as completely illiquid. You can borrow against the value of your home, borrow against the value of your 401(k), sell your stock. If you need a few days to move money around, there's credit cards. Personal loans. It really depends on what you're trying to measure.
I think a bigger one from what I have looked is the complexity of (en^de)code bytes around.

I suspect if you could use UNION better and be the same as Enum in Rust you could do us a favor! Also I wish I could do this easily:

enum Tag {
Int,
Bool
}

enum Data {
Int(Vec<i32>),
Bool(Vec<bool>)
}

struct Val {
tag:Tag,
data:Data
}

let n = val.as_i32::<Tag::Int>(&self) -> Vec<i32>
You're right, I gotta get that up asap!

We share this planet with people that don't use UTC. That's just the way it is. If some computers are set to time zones other than UTC, then non-UTC time zones must be correctly handled, even "servers".

There are terminal servers, for example, which are basically workstations. There are servers configured by other people for local time, and we may need to configure our own servers into its network.

There is server software out there that uses the host timezone. Heck, huge vendors do this regularly. This happens in log files, in schedulers, in notification emails, and so on. People want to see their log timestamps in their local time, they want to schedule in local time, and they want their emails to show events in their local time.

Yes, optimally, all times should always stored in UTC or UTC+offset formats, then displayed in local time only "at the end client". Generally, this is actually what happens. Windows, MacOS, UNIX, Linux, and Android all store the system clock as UTC and all system APIs use this.

So in some sense, we are all already using UTC on our servers. The time zone setting doesn't change the system clock to something other than UTC, it just tells user-mode software how the human users expect to see time formatted for display.

The problem is that server software especially is terrible at this. Just... bad. The worst offenders are text-based log files, which almost always get a formatted timestamp with an unspecified time zone. Could be UTC, could be the server's local time, could be Mars time, who knows?

In summary: don't blame system administrators for correctly configuring server settings. Blame the lazy software developers who can't be bothered to use ISO timestamps that specify time zones unambiguously, irrespective of the time zone setting.

Next thing you'll tell me to stop using space characters in file names...
It's allowed, but once you've used a mirror to understand your eye, you don't need the mirror anymore.
There are plenty of people it would help. But there are likely quite a few it would really hurt, losing access to distant family or support.
I only heard about vector databases along with the recent advents of AI. Assuming they've been around for a while, what were the benefits of using them over "normal" search engines (e.g. ElasticSearch)?
> The same way, I can just generate random real numbers, then define my set as in ascending order, and insert them in that order.

To perform the diagonalization, we can simply look at each real number that you randomly generate and add digits to the diagonalized number based on that order. It doesn't matter how much you shuffle them around afterward: the diagonalized number will still be different from all the generated numbers.
I think you and the parent comment are off base. I have no concrete evidence of that, but in a very blue Massachusetts, most parents I know begrudgingly allow their children on social media, and only to the extent required to prevent their children from being social outcasts. Social media has very real negative consequences for a lot of kids (and adults). I don’t think this is a red team/blue team game.
Sure, but that’s not my point. My point is that this is a further reflection of the tipping point of food prices that we are experiencing.
And my point was that neither climate change nor nuclear holocaust would be sufficient to cause a mass extinction on the scale of, say, that which eliminated the dinosaurs. In either case there will be plenty of humans remaining.
Ok, clearly 999 out of 1000 people are interested in losing fat, not lean mass :)

And I would say the advice of "just eat less" doesn't work for probably 20-30% of people. Especially the very obese. You don't get to morbidly obese by "eating a little bit too much for 10 years." You don't fix it by eating a little bit less.

Obviously people can starve. There are 3 phases of starvation. Phase I is basically just "between meals" where the liver puts out some glycogen into your blood stream to maintain stable blood glucose.

Phase II is your body using your fat storage to provide energy via free fatty acids and ketone bodies. This can last, depending on the deficit and how much body fat you have, for weeks at a time. The record I've seen is over 400 days of a Scottish man going from over 400lbs to less than 200lbs.

Phase III starvation is when the body begins scavenging lean body mass for energy. This is Very Bad. This is why the POWs you see in photos look so emaciated and skinny. The body used all the fat and then it began using the protein.

The problem for dieting is that you can't just hang out in Phase II until you have six-pack abs. If your body cannot meet the energy requirements necessary from body fat then it'll go straight into Phase III. Many obese people have a "broken" metabolism in some way (how so is not very clear, that's what I'm trying to figure out). Despite carrying lots and lots of body fat around (I had over 100lbs of it on me!) they somehow couldn't "access" that energy. So the body went straight into Phase III with all the signals like reduced expenditure, lower body temperature, lower immune system, increased hunger.. and even if you could willpower though that for 100lbs, you'd lose a ton of protein as the body would use it for energy. So you'd probably die of organ failure before you lost the 100lbs. Unless you somehow managed to do what the Scottish man did. I've fasted for 10 days and I could absolutely not do 400 days.

Bodybuilders are a completely different topic than obese people, I think. They're typically already at a healthy fat level or below. So they really do have to force themselves to undereat and just minimize the muscle scavenging and maximize fat used for energy. But it's temporary for most, they do this in cycles before shows and photo shoots. No bodybuilder I know of had 100lbs of fat on him and then lost it for a show. They go from their walking-around-at 10-15% of body fat to 5-8%.
For me this is a public health measure. If video games were shown to have a similarly destructive effect on our youth I'd consider regulating that too.
Good points. But 3 and 4 are partly caused by social media I think.
Perhaps the market is wrong. Just because something is profitable doesn't make it good.
I dunno; CUDA is a library. How many closed source libraries win winner-takes-all games?

Nvidia is a lonely proprietary ship in a hostile sea of open source packages. It might take 20 years if Intel and AMD fail to do anything useful, but sooner or later they'll either open source CUDA defensively or get ground down by an open library. There are a finite list of features to implement before "Runs on Nvidia" vs "Runs on any graphics card" becomes the only important box left on the bureaucrat's checklist.

The math here is literally 1st & 2nd year university subjects. That is a good short term moat, but not a defensible one long term.
That isn’t theoretical computer science. In this day and age, that’s firmly in the hands of engineers.

And while AI might be the current big thing, I don’t imagine it will be at the forefront of engineering. I think quantum computing takes the prize there.

I doubt you'll find many other industries that have as many unnecessary employees as you would in healthcare.

Given that they're for-profit, they have every incentive to hire as many people as possible to answer phones and create a bureaucratic nest of people who go to work to literally make it hard to use the insurance you're paying for.

Compare to car insurance, where many companies tout how "easy" it is to file a claim, and in most cases it is pretty easy to get your car fixed, get a rental car in the meantime, and get back on the road in a few days. Everybody in the process gets paid, you can shop around every 6 months for cheaper rates, etc. By all accounts, car insurance is profitable.

If healthcare was made simpler, with standard prices for procedures across all hospital systems and insurance carriers, and actual doctors who aren't of the same caliber of the ones prescribing Viagra from some random site in Albania, we could start to fix the system.

As it stands now, and I'm sorry for the people involved who work these jobs, but if health insurance reduced it's bloat of unnecessary workers, many of whom go to work to specifically answer calls from people whose claims are denied, we could lower costs, cover more people's procedures, and keep physician pay the same.

As it stands now, nurses do most of the work in the healthcare system, whether it's in the doctor's office or in the hospital, and unless you're in a niche field of nursing, they get paid less than an entry level PHP developer.

A nurse can lose their license if they make a horrible mistake at work. Hospitals see nurses are replaceable and that's why many of them burnt out during COVID when staffing ratios were thrown to the wayside, raises and department transfers were halted, and techs and other low-skilled nursing positions were eliminated, increasing the burden on RN's.

It's not correct that in order to lower healthcare costs, we have to lower physician pay. Healthcare is just not a business that can be left to the free market.
As a parent, restricting social media is one of the most effective tools I think we have to promote well being. The things you mentioned are also problematic but I can limit social media access and when I do my kids are better off.
Ah yes. I agree. The fact that criminals are stealing food now does indicate it’s becoming more worthwhile to steal. Prices are going up.
The question is, where is the food and beverage going to? Containers don't have $214k of a balanced variety of foods, they have thousands of boxes of cereal. No thief is eating their way through a shipping container's worth of cereal.

Prior articles (e.g. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/17/the-fight-against-stolen-pro... ) have written about how Amazon is turning into a semi-legitimate fence for stolen goods; the seller-thief can list the stolen goods, ship to an Amazon warehouse, where Amazon provides the marketplace for a cut of the proceeds. The FTC may not care enough about Amazon turning into a front for counterfeit goods; will the FTC finally wake up and target Amazon for dealing in stolen goods?
The real reason to use C over C++ is that when you can't use heap allocated memory, you can't use 90+% of C++. At that point, you've inflicted upon yourself all the C++ footguns and have thrown away any of the C++ useful bits.

Once that happens, you might as well just use C.
I was mulling over the idea of building keyword image search (say, with CLIP based embeddings). However I'm not really sure the cost, or whether or not this is the best solution. Do you have any case studies about large deployments of this software, and what the upper limits of scale might be?

Hopefully this is hyperbole. Seems a bit extreme to hope the government legislates away industries because you don't want to handle the parenting yourself.
FYI long term hotels are a thing. I've encountered them in most areas I've visited. There is one near me that charges $190/week. Some don't offer housekeeping, etc, however they are quite common. The one near me includes all utilities except any type of TV, and does not include housekeeping.

My first home away from home was a long term hotel FYI. They are definitely common, they just tend to fly under the radar, especially since many allow pets and possibly smoking depending on the area.

The chat log is very helpful.

> I think I spent close to a good twelve hours (including a couple of early throw-away prototypes, and all the failed attempts on the flood filling) altogether2… at some point it did get a little addictive, and perhaps there was a sunk cost argument for not letting go halfway through.

Also very helpful, I get the sense that we're seeing lots of cherrypicked results that under report all the toil needed to get to the magic prompt that made it all work. Maybe we'll all get better at prompt engineering, but I think a lot of hype is based on that misunderstanding.

Yes, the Spectrum was poor, but it was also genius and a case study on how to deliver a brilliant balance between performance and production cost.
A person had a job they liked. It was turning a crank to make content but they enjoyed the act of turning the crank.

Now the parts of turning the crank they enjoyed are gone. And their job is a shitty, demoralizing drag.

Is that of no value in your world? Have you never weighed jobs based on whether one sounded like more fun than another, along with other considerations like how much money it would make? Has nobody you've known ever made an employment choice based in that?

> No multiple sources have explained that 'alpha' implies competing with others and becoming top dog by winning a contest or battle.

Uhhhh...

> The concept of the alpha wolf is well ingrained in the popular wolf literature, at least partly because of my book “The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species,”...

You are directly contradicting the author you're claiming to support.

This isn't an episode of Dr. Who. Time travel does not exist. Two things cannot cause one another over the course of a fifty year span.

Either the concept of "alpha wolf" arose from Mech's work (in which case it didn't imply anything because it was a wholly new term), or it didn't (in which case it wasn't his idea and him repudiating it doesn't carry the weight you think it does).
This is to be expected. Sellers are always reluctant to be reasonable when they are on the wrong side of a peak. The raising of interest rates means prices have to adjust. But after so many years of increasing prices sellers are not yet rational.

And yes, some more inventory would help. That said, as the population ages, who is going to buy all the McMansions? Price not only need to adjust to interest rate but demographics.
What algorithms are these databases using for fast similarity search?

Are they guaranteed to return the most optimal similar neighbors or will they be sloppy in return for efficiency?
I’m not really sure if I disagree with you, but in the past we’re parents really able to see everything their children were doing? Like telephones did not record conversations, they were effectively “disappearing messages”.

I guess the argument would be technology enables children to do secret stuff without any of the obvious signs, like sneaking out in the middle of the night?
Unfortunately that is the most reliable form of age verification we have: government ID cards.

If this is 100% true in its face it would look identical to if it was a scheme to de-anonymize people.
70% of the population in the US have had two or more shots at this point. IDK if you've been outside recently but I'm pretty sure vaccinated people aren't hiding away in numbers that would cause anything even close to the massive discrepancies in hospitalization and death between vaxxed and unvaxxed.

is the data probably confounded to some degree? sure. Is it overwhelming despite that? yes.

In case you care to look at smaller amounts of data that won't have as many confounding variables, you could check out any of the many studies evaluating vaccine effectiveness among healthcare workers who would all have regular exposure to the virus.

Traditional search such as ES and Lucene rely primarily on bag-of-words retrieval and keyword matching e.g. BM25, TF-IDF, etc. Vector databases such as Milvus allow for _semantic_ search.

Here's a highly simplified example: if my query was "fields related to computer science", a semantic engine could return "statistics" and "electrical engineering" while avoiding things such as "social science" and "political science".
