> It’s a ruling that controlled digital lending is illegal.

That’s not really true. One issue described explicitly in the decision is that the lending is mostly uncontrolled, and worse there’s evidence of it the defendant was aware of. The second issue is that the defendant isn’t using the first sale doctrine, their defense is fair use. Presumably the whole reason they decided to argue fair use is because they knew they weren’t adhering to the lending analogy, because they were aware they were effectively distributing copies, not just lending them.

Bing is no more a side business with 0 profit expectation, but the next big billions dollar business. So Microsoft will treat it like it treated Windows and that would mean no such partnerships like DuckDuckGo had.
We started our journey into web development after our AirBnB was shut down by our HOA. We're interested in building a business together in the long-term, but software engineering has been something we've both dabbled in over the past 5 years.

Cooler still, pterosaurs aren’t even dinosaurs!

Flight is interesting because it’s so useful that it evolved at least 4 separate times. Pterosaurs, birds, insects, bats.

If you include gliding or falling with style in your definition of flight, then it evolved even more times. Sugar gliders and flying squirrels for example. Completely unrelated. Both have a similar solution to gliding. Some snakes can glide too!
A similar-enough alternative should exist in the first place, otherwise you're merely talking funny thoughts that have no bearing in the real world. Which is fine, it just needs to be explicitly conveyed.

Why would you expect customers to migrate someplace else at all if there's no alternative?
Most science in the social science is essentially black box studies. We see what goes.in and observe what comes out without any formal understanding of what goes on in the box itself.

Additionally there's something called the replication crisis in the social sciences (psychology included) which is basically to the effect of a major discovery that most of these "black box" studies can not be reproduced. When someone runs the same experiment the results are all different.

It goes to show that either many of the studies were fraudulent or statistical methodologies are flawed or both.

Given that chatGPT therapeutic data is ALSO derived from the same training data I would say it's ok to trust chatGPT as much as you would trust psychologists. Both have a lot of bullshit with nuggets of truth.
I've settled on the explanation that this is just a cultural difference, and anyone arguing from a place of "logic" or "correctness" is refusing to accept that it's all convention, and different people do things differently.

As an analogy, some languages put the verb at the end of the sentence (e.g. Latin, certain German grammatical structures). As an English speaker, this is weird because I don't really know what's going on until the sentence is done, and it feels like I'm putting together a little puzzle in my head. Whereas to a fluent speaker, it presumably just makes sense and you don't really find it difficult. Same thing with dates.

As an American, I like our convention for writing dates. I usually care about month first. Immediately upon seeing a date, I know the rough time frame. Is it this month? Next month? Around Christmas? Around my birthday? Then the day pins it down to something specific. I will assume a date is referring to the current year, unless I see a different year, in which case it's a quick update to my mental model. April 12 flows as "soon, and exactly 18 days away" and September 12 flows "far away, and the middle part of the month".

I get that computers are a different use case, and there I'm a ISO 8601 advocate.
I do that when I write grants for my sports club and it seems to get better results than peers that hire pros to apply for them.
> The economy is a giant Jenga tower […]

A Jenga tower is in unstable equilibrium. Push it a little bit away from its resting configuration and it collapses.

The economy is in stable equilibrium, mostly, more or less. Push it by increasing the price of some commodity, which happens all the time, and buyers look for alternatives and efficiencies, which dampens the effect of the push. In all likelihood things settle in a new equilibrium not far at all from the first.

It’s a much more resilient system than you’re giving it credit for. Totally different dynamics than the party game.

If a couple of us get together and throw in some money we could train it on Lambda Labs hardware like the OP suggests. I would volunteer to do it myself but I don’t know enough about training models to guarantee I am not wasting money with a stupid mistake.
My biggest issue with YouTube is that the search doesn't work properly any more. It shows you a handful of results related to your search term and then goes off into the weeds showing you videos that "people also watched", videos "for you", and videos that you previously watched.

Obviously the goal is to distract people with something that they'll click on, rather than to help them find what they are looking for. Very frustrating.
Yes. If I could find the original rowhammer thread here, I believe I said so at the time.
To be honest, using date formats in Asian languages (Korean/Japanese/Chinese) is probably the best. There is zero confusion, as the word for "month," "day," or "year" proceeds the numbers directly: 2023년 3월 25일 in Korean, or 2023年3月25日 in Chinese (and Japanese?).
Anyone with a few hundred bucks to spare can do it by renting GPUs from a cloud provider. It only cost Stanford $600 to create Alpaca from LLAMA. $100 to generate instructions with GPT-3 and $500 to rent cloud GPUs. The license restriction is due to the use of GPT-3 output to train a model.

I would be all for innovating new grid scale energy storage technologies.

Until we have those, Bitcoin mining results in more renewable energy investment, not less.

In the meantime are you arguing we should ban Bitcoin mining and eliminate the subsidy that enables us to build out renewables?

Central Europe and Russia take competitive programming far more seriously than the U.S., from what my professors told me. It took very little effort to take first in a university wide competition and join the team that represented the school and went on to win the region. I suspect most Central European teams would sweep the USA.
Yep, kudos for the Kirkland team for structuring this way.

Right, and that CO2 will also impose a cost that we’ll also have to pay for. Higher global temperatures means fewer glaciers. Nearly two billion people in the world depend on glacial run off for their water [1], which a lot of will be gone in a few decades.

Rising global temperatures will also mean melting ice and rising sea levels. Low level agricultural areas, such as those in Southeast Asia will, will see the ocean encroach 30-40 kilometers onto productive rice paddies with just a few feet of sea level rise [2].

It might be fine if these people just move, but we’re talking about displacing hundreds of millions to billions. Migrations like those of Syrians moving into Europe will seem small by comparison.

I’m not going to mention the retarding economic effects of more stable regions having many more hotter days, or the impacts of more erratic weather due to arctic amplification and a more erratic jet stream. We may have to move or build new equipment someplace else.

All of this means that we will have to build a new tower anyways, but we’ll have to do it with less resources, less time, and on a table that’s shaking constantly.

Perhaps putting a tax or price on carbon will retard economic advancement, but so will unchecked climate change. The benefit of taxing carbon is that we don’t have governments directing how to decarbonize. Businesses can still innovate to be competitive, we will be pricing in an externality that we’ll just pay for in other ways, at a higher price, later on.

People can die from "low" temperature as high as 10 C or 50 F.
Yeah, but with the breakneck speed at which this field is moving, how long will it be before we have dedicated 'Coding Competition' models (if they don't exist already somewhere)?

I can't help but reminded of AlphaGo. When Lee Sedol saw the footage of the AI beating the then European champion, he was like 'That's neat, but it would still take a decade of training to get to world champion level'. That was about half a year before he crushingly lost to it. We just underestimate how fast those models can evolve. I know that playing a well-defined game against itself is an ideal setting for RL models, and that language models use very different architectures. Nonetheless, I still think it's reasonable to think that coding competitions may soon go the way of chess,..., where humans stand no chance against the best machines.

Not that that's a reason to cancel them immediately like Google just did (after all, chess is arguably thriving), but that's a different story.
Does this actually happen, or it's just a hypothetical? (in other words, do you have some links?)
A fun fact about ISO 8601... it mandates[0] use of the proleptic Gregorian calendar for dates earlier than 15th October 1582. Now, in that calendar there is a year zero - so anyone using the proleptic Gregorian calendar can say that the 3rd millennium began on 1st January 2000, instead of the pedant's preferred date of 1st January 2001.

Since ISO 8601 is baked into so many modern systems and standards, and since software has eaten the world, there's a real sense in which we are all using it as our primary calendar - and thus for those of us who were celebrating on 1st January 2000, we can retro-canonically rest in peace knowing the fireworks were not mistimed after all.

[0] OK, there's some fuzziness in the wording, where "mutual agreement" must be sought before exchanging such earlier dates.
In my opinion, it's always good to be regularly interviewing and talking to other companies. I don't think the job search process should be so binary.

Start talking to other companies, reply to some recruiting emails that interest you, etc. It doesn't mean you have to leave you current position, but talking to other companies forces clarify what you are really looking for in your job and potential next opportunity. It also helps you get a sense of what other companies are looking for if you end up deciding the time is right for something new.
yeah absolutely. Thank you

>Driving without insurance is illegal in virtually every state,

Legally speaking, insurance, registration, and licensing is only required of drivers/transport engaging in commercial activity (taxi, cargo, etc).

This is not commonly known but there are court precedents that establish driving in a non-commercial capacity on publicly owned roadways is a constitutionally protected right under common law that cannot be infringed by state and local laws.

So, I'm a part of a small team, each member doing something different. I handle a Moodle curriculum, I hate Moodle BTW, and teach students. And do monthly reports for the students I teach. They're adults, so it's not too hard. Usually.

Anyway, GPT3.5 couldn't always get lessons right. It'd say to scroll with VoiceOver on, on the iPhone, that you'd swipe up with two fingers. Nope, that's three fingers. I can simply ask the bot to correct it, and it'd do so. That, I think, is one of the cool things about it. I had it build a Python script that can take a TSV file exported from Excel cause the cafeteria staff that give students food just can't possibly just write out the menu in a list, oh no that's just too hard, it's gotta be all fansy in Excel with hard to parse columns of letters of days with the menu beside it /s. Anyway I had it create a Python script to just turn that into HTML. It's still awful, just on a web page and the lunch CLI app I wrote a year ago can't parse this new format.

Another thing I just thought of is making ringtones. I can start playing a song, stop at the start of it, write that time down, play till the end of the ringtone, write that time down, and get GPT to give me an FFMPEG command to make a ringtone, with that filename included in the command so I can't even have to copy and paste into the terminal window. That'll be pretty cool.
In reality I encode everything in raw bits but for these Europeans I convert to their hippy Unicode whatever. Why use 7 bits for a character when you can use UTF-8/16/32 - the “metric system” of encodings.

This is not directly answering you question but might help.

On qualities vs outcomes:
Sometimes figuring out what qualities and values you want to cultivate can help prioritize what options to exercise or go for. Often we focus on outcomes, forgetting about the person we are becoming in the process of getting there.

On purpose:

A counter-intuitive property of purpose is that you have to “manufacture” it rather than go “looking” for it. Whatever you are doing right now can be equally purposeful.

Another mistake is to look for it on the “inside”. That’s one half of the equation. The other ignored half is looking on the “outside”. And by definition there are more things on the outside that we aren’t aware of or will ever be.
