A daily infuriation for me is that my wife’s 2016 Chevy Equinox does not have a way for you to adjust the default volume of the radio in the firmware for some inexplicable reason. When you power on the vehicle, it’s set to “10” on some arbitrary radio station. There is no way to start the car with the volume muted - you are forced to always have the radio on or turn off the entire unit.

Not to poopoo your train of thought but I wouldn't put any faith in someone that's college educated having a better understanding of constitutionality either. Most college degrees are useless now, with the majority of college grads being roughly as educated as the average high school grad a couple of decades ago. And the majority of the ones that do actually hold any value don't give you much expertise on Constitutional law.
- Reddit has ads, and they want companies to buy ads on the platform instead of posting them for free.
- Reddit has a rule that max 10% of your posts can be self-promotion; i.e. they want people to contribute back to the community.
- There is some hypocrisy in the fact that you'll get banned if you admit that you're the creator, but if you pose as a real person who liked the website it's not against the rules.

We really had to step on the gas with this one. There has been just so much reverberations in the photo community that it became clear that it needs to be done (and quick).

This is a great effort! But yes, manual adding is slow, so the way is likely to crowdsource/automate it.
what was your first programming language?

mine was matlab. thinking of everything as an array, especially things that aren't arrays, was the first pattern I ever learned. I've never used APL in anger but for the most part it comes very easily to me. Maybe not the code golfing and/or idiomatic APL style that people like to post but, like, using the primitives to create increasingly elaborate arrays before discarding anything I don't want, that part has always felt very straight forward.
> I could work in a pizzeria and live in NYC, this "it's too expensive" is really a suburban view of the sqft.

Not everyone enjoys living in a shoe box or having a dozen roommates, for instance, and not everyone enjoys living in big cities either. Suburbs are amazing, despite what all the big city folks will tell you.

$82k a year in NYC is not amazing by any stretch. Could you realistically work in a pizzeria ($30k-$50k) and have a fulfilled life? Of course - but you will not be living well. There is a difference.

You're comparing one of the highest cost of living areas with a national average. That's a very wrong comparison, and conclusion to make.

My guess is that there was an error during quantization that resulted in a large amount of the weights not properly being used. A potential test would be to compare the number of page faults between quantized an unquantized model and confirm they are roughly the same proportionally. This could also explain how e.g. gpt4all seem to notice better performance on unquantized weights when there really shouldn't be.
Yep. I work for Big Tech, and our CI was lacking for a very long time. Integration testing isn't prioritized at all. Ironic to write code in an overly pedantic language with type safety, spend 3X that time on unit tests with near-100% coverage and what-if analysis, and still have the thing just not work in the end.

For my own projects, I went TDD with integration tests first, and it paid off in both the short and long term. Soon after activated CI (thanks Heroku Pipelines). Actual functionality was more complex than what my day job project does, and my way of doing things wouldn't have been allowed there, yet it was more stable in the end. Amazing what you can do when nobody is telling you what to do.

>There's something very deeply wrong in American society, and I don't see things improving any time soon.

Any hypothesis as to what it is? I think it is a lack of community. We've become transactional and virtual/online communities are not sufficient.

In terms of driving I think it got a lot worse during the pandemic because with the lack of daily commuter traffic allowed people to drive faster and hence more recklessly.
“ For example, on November 1, 2016, in or around the same time that Mackey was sending tweets suggesting the importance of limiting “black turnout,” the defendant tweeted an image depicting an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for Hillary” sign. The ad stated: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,” “Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925,” and “Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the deceptive image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by Hillary For President 2016.” The tweet included the typed hashtag “#ImWithHer,” a slogan frequently used by Hillary Clinton. On or about and before Election Day 2016, at least 4,900 unique telephone numbers texted “Hillary” or some derivative to the 59925 text number, which had been used in multiple deceptive campaign images tweeted by Mackey and his co-conspirators.”

Columbus is sprawling, sad to see so much of that from parking and other pavement. As a driver though it is much better than Cleveland.

> You can pass an --mlock flag, which calls mlock() on the entire 20GB model (you need root to do it), then htop still reports only like 4GB of RAM is in use.

How is that possible? Is the model being compressed even more (even after converting to 4 bit) somehow? Or is most of the model unused?
Julia has support for Unicode operators. Most editor plugins for Julia allow you to enter the characters using (La)Tex syntax, so it’s quite common to see.

Others have window shaker ACs only in bedrooms (which aren’t practical to use window heat pumps as a replacement for radiators since the heating balance would be terrible with the rest of the house and the air leakage around a window unit is really bad when the inside/outside delta-T is 60+°F in winter [versus ~15°F in summer])

Huzzah! Another aficionado of land use issues!

Alain Bertaud wrote a book called "order without design". He's an urban economist, and... his book is all a city planner needs to do their job correctly.

Towards the end of the book he talks about the indonesian Kampung, briefly touched upon in this interview here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-11/urban-pla...

I had long wanted to visit this sort of place, so in Bali, I walked into (and around) many, many, many kampungs, and sure enough, they were beautiful, affordable, and served the people that lived in and around them so well.

I believe all 'big' cities have adopted the 'american'/euclidean zoning version of land use policy, which was implemented by southerners in the 1920s to implement a regime of social control, allowing one ethnic group to use the political process to dominate another ethnic group. Jakarta follows the american land use policy, with the expected deleterious effects.

more on the land use policy as social control/ethnic cleansing: https://josh.works/full-copy-of-1922-atlanta-zone-plan

I'd strongly recommend getting a copy of Alain's book. It's the most concise take on land use policy I've encountered, and I've sorta 'read the canon' when it comes to these kinds of things.

Another recommendation: "The Slaughter of Cities: Urban Renewal as Ethnic Cleansing" https://www.fidelitypress.org/slaughter-of-cities

I write about all of this stuff on my website (in my profile) and tiktok. I talk too much about zoning-as-ethnic-cleansing, according to some people, but i don't mind. https://www.tiktok.com/@josh_exists

Spike Jonze's Her. From the first paragraph of the Development section on Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_(film):

> The idea of the film initially came to Jonze in the early 2000s when he read an article online that mentioned a website where a user could instant message with an artificial intelligence. "For the first, maybe, 20 seconds of it, it had this real buzz," said Jonze. "I'd say 'Hey, hello,' and it would say 'Hey, how are you?', and it was like whoa [...] this is trippy. After 20 seconds, it quickly fell apart and you realized how it actually works, and it wasn't that impressive. But it was still, for 20 seconds, really exciting. The more people that talked to it, the smarter it got."

As you can see in his chart at [1] from the same thread, drugs, violence, and accidents only explain less than 1/3 of the difference, so the rest would be mainly various disease/lifestyle and care related issues (the overwhelmingly top causes of death in the US [2]). I think those graphs are a easy to misread, the long tail of somewhat poorer results is less dramatic than that younger gap, but actually includes much of the disparity. In [1], you can see that the last cause, cardiovascular, explains more of the difference than drugs, violence, and accidents combined.

> Mr. Calogero went to the store and talked to the owner, who showed him a still from a surveillance camera. He realized that one of the alleged fraudsters looked like Mr. Reid, but the man was heavier...

> “The guy had big arms, and my client doesn’t,” Mr. Calogero said. A Jefferson Parish sheriff’s officer insisted it was a “positive match,” language that made Mr. Calogero believe that facial recognition technology had been used, and he spoke to the New Orleans news outlet NOLA.com about what he believed had happened.

The man's lawyer says he (the client) looks like the suspected thief in surveillance footage. How is that "random"? How would the wrongly suspected man have even been known to the police without the use of Clearview's database and matching algorithm?
As someone who visited the US as a kid and was even then shocked by the amount of space dedicated to cars, seeing this information on a map still blew me away.

The space needed for these parking lots basically guarantees you can not walk or bike to get anywhere. I believe that unless there's big investment in public transportation, there might be no way for these cities to break out of this vicious circle. And that seems to be politically unfeasible at the moment, for reasons that elude me.

The hyperloop, a ridiculously bad alternative to a subway, garnered so much attention even with its obvious downsides, so having actually useful public transportation should be a no-brainer imho.
I think in the places I’ve worked people would mostly find their systems unusable once they uploaded 10k files, so we’d never have an issue like this.

If we weren't firefighting so bad here I would be pushing for us to switch.
As far as I can remember, most probability functions they use in some neural net models were taught in high-school.

When I coded a neural net, the most important was the size of its connectom and not really related to the mathematical fancy-ness of neurons and synapses operations.
JFYI, the ACA did have a large impact on the health insurance coverage through expanding medicaid. The percentage uninsured was halved from 18.4% to 9.1-9.8% (in states which expanded medicaid. In nonexpansion states, the uninsured percentage went from 22.7% to 17.1-19%).

I hear you about the health care situation though. Health insurance is definitely not the same thing as health care.

"Marooned in Realtime" by Vernor Vinge contains a mind-expanding vision of exponentially accelerating AI. I kind of never stop thinking about it.

I retired by starting businesses early (16, all failed) and learning the lessons early to run something more successful when the opportunity arose. Those who train for it seem to get the most luck.

I thought the same as you and as an avid game, tech enthusiasts, electronics enthusiast, outdoorser reader and social person, I thought I'd be fine.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I find these things hold no intrensic meaning beyond the enjoyment of the moment - which I love, but isn't enough to satiate. None of these things bring fulfillment or accomplish any goal beyond thr arbitrary ones I set myself.

I suppose all goals are arbitrary at some level, but in my years retired I'm yet to work out how to bring that sense of real accomplishment back in my passtimes.

As such, I moved back from retirement to semi retirement after about 3 years. I still live on my own schedule, but I run a number of small businesses designed to do but not take over my life. I also volunteer and raise a family. I can't imagine ever fully "retiring" again, and I can see why a lot of older people give up on life after they do.
Report from Vietnam: I received scam calls pretty often before. It Vietnam trash SIMs were fairly common, and it bothered people so much that the goverment has to force every mobile company to "standardize" their consumer's data (i.e. fixing the incorrect data in trash SIMs). I have not received any scam calls since doing it.
small hosting operators usually have few actual paid IP transit upstreams (2 or 3 max), which can credibly disconnect them based on criminal activity.

they also usually have a small number of actual manually-configured peers and if they're a member of an IX, they use the routeservers instead. Very easy for an IX to disconnect a criminal entity.

disconnecting a HUGE network that has a large portion of abusive traffic is much harder, like trying to bgp blackhole some major ISPs in China.

Sure, the EU definitely seems to be better about what it considers food. The United States of Greed definitely needs to do better. I'm constantly flabbergasted at what is considered edible and passes as food in the US. The fact that being required to put on the package the words "anal leakage" doesn't immediately stop someone from using it as an ingredient just shows how little corp food cares about what it puts into the "food products" it manufactures/sales.
Nailed it. The tying of healthcare to one's job is its primary problem in the USA. This idiotic relationship arose because of incompetent legislation during WWII that was never fixed. The government applied wage caps, but failed to anticipate employers' substitution of "benefits" for wages. So companies sweetened the pot with health insurance to work around wage caps, and the government neglected to close that loophole. Huge and disastrous mistake.

Today, millions of Americans are deluded into thinking that their "employer-provided" insurance is free. Because the true cost is buried in pay-stub line items that nobody looks at (if it's even required to be there; I don't know), it's huge.

This "system" serves corporations, not people. Big companies get a workforce replete with people chained to dead-end jobs by their healthcare; insurance companies get fat, fat payouts; and small businesses and individuals get screwed.

My best friend runs a small business in the USA that actually makes things in a factory and employs people. Why the hell should be be an insurance broker as well? And if you're self-employed... Obamacare is the only thing saving your ass. And if your income isn't in the sweet spot, it's not really affordable either.

So we are really screwed hard. You'll never get Republicans to defy their corporate owners and lobbyists to reform this shitshow, nor will you get their base to comprehend that they're being ripped off and demand such reform.

Employer-funded insurance should be taxed out of existence and replaced by employer-provided CHILD CARE. Now that's something that keeps people out of the workforce and actually makes sense for an employer to provide.
