Yes there should be good drugs more easily available than bad drugs. Rational people understand they don't want to get their body into a condition where they get into terrible pain if they don't get their next injection soon. Where they have to commit crimes to finance their addiction.

Rational people don't want to take street-drugs which they know might kill them because of bad quality. They are seeing a lot of people dying around them so they know.

This is conceptually not that different from methanol-laced alcohol being available during prohibition. Of course nobody wants to take methanol if they can take ethanol instead. Ethanol is very bad as well. But harm reduction should be the thing that guides our policy.
What's wrong is that I don't live on what is even the smallest per-state average of sqft for a single family home.

average yard size is ~4x that. So that's 4x less open space. You're also assuming that all parts of the US are equally habitable. We're doing a lot of work to try and let people live in increasingly inhospitable deserts.

More saliently, the overwhelming majority of the Linux kernel's direct and extended userbase has contributed nothing at all directly to the Linux kernel, as just one example.
Even if Apple makes it impossible for asahi to work at all the Linux kernel would have benefited from bug fixes and graphics devs writing shaders for apple devices would have better insight into the perf of what they are writing due to a reverse engineered disassembler.

Because it's an empty, abstract and leading to nothing goal. Our mind needs to know "why exactly" to find its "hows". It's just how it works.
I want less density which makes neighbourhoods have more open spaces. Stacking everyone together in a small postal stamp area creates more overall land that may be open but it creates less open areas where people live.

Very interesting. The fingering for the Chopin piece is just bizarre to me, but I'm not going to argue with data.
Then the analogy fails to hold up to reality. There's plenty of information to contextualize. Assuming by default everyone but you is a naïve doe lost in a forest and therefore lacks the intellect to contextualize anything for themselves is undemocratic.

That would likely be because, as mentioned previously there is still more to come out; it's not possible to be reasonably convinced yet. Going back to the original question:

I've been using EdgeDB in a greenfield project and loving it. Some rough edges (forgive the pun) but fantastic for prototyping / smaller projects and could be a good candidate for large projecs. I like it better than when I used neo4j a few years back for a client project. Much better license and I really like that it's built on top on postgres.
Because first, it's trite: literally every person in the organization is hired to "solve business problems". Second, I think it's pompous to elevate one's position to some sort of strategic "problem solver" role when, unless you are a consultant, you are hired to translate requirements into working software systems. Your boss would roll her eyes at the "I solve business problems" language. She would say, "Uh-huh. You do that - solve the business's problems. Just make sure you close your Jira tickets while you're doing it."

So what? Did Broadcom or Nvidia contribute to the open source drivers you probably use on Linux? How many contributions did Intel make to the Linux kernel from 1991 to 2000 during which the kernel was in the infancy of running on Intel silicon?

Do Intel's micro-arch manuals tell the whole story or do people go to Anger Fog website frequently (https://www.agner.org/optimize/)?

It doesn't matter.
I'd be a lot more amenable to suburbs if they weren't used to try to enforce puritanical ideals - it's usually impossible to walk to a bar from one (much less to a choice of bars).

Some people fix that problem by driving drunk (the stats aren't pretty), but I fix it by living somewhere where there are bars within walking distance, and will not countenance the idea of living in a suburb even if it would cost me 3x less for the same space.
The problem with drug overdoses can be directly tied to the War on Drugs. The entire campaign criminalized addiction vs focusing on rehabilitation, it removed outlets from relief in many states and it has only made illicit drug quality significantly worse (versus removing access to them).

This is one of those metrics that really makes US federalism apparent and shows the drastic difference in outcomes from the two major parties. By reviewing the per state metrics[1], you can see that states that take a much lighter hand to drug criminalization and that offer state sponsored relief (California, for instance) have a much lower death rate to ones that take a heavy hand (southern states, New Mexico, etc).

I think it’s a mistake to test the worn and fresh disks at different intervals. I.e., testing worn disks in years 1 and 3, and fresh disks in years 2 and 4.

Let’s say that the worn disks are found to have failed the hash check in year 1 and the fresh disks are found to have failed in year 2. Can you conclude that worn and fresh are equally bad? No, you can’t, because maybe the fresh disks were still OK in year 1 — but you didn’t check them in year 1.

As another example, suppose the worn disks are found to be good in year 1 but the fresh disks are found to be bad in year 2. This seems like an unlikely result, but if it happened, what could you conclude? Well, you can’t conclude anything. Maybe worn is better because they are still good in year 2, but you aren’t checking them in year 2. Maybe fresh is better because the worn will fail in year 1.1 but the fresh last until year 1.9 before failing. Maybe all the disks fail in year 1.5 so they are equally bad.

I think it’s better to test the disks at the same intervals since you can always draw a conclusion.
I think we need some kind of grouping function, but it doesn't have to be the 'generate group indices' function. I'm sure we'll have alternatives available such as `update ... by`.
I sure hope not, but that doesn't really solve the parking issues?

You need a parking space for your car permanently, and one for every place you might visit. (up to as many people as are likely to be visiting it). In a popular place to visit, that could be a lot if people don't have some other way to get there. So, you have to build in extra space between you and that place to account for parking, and the roads required to get there.

> When teaching “programming”, a surprisingly small amount of time is spent actually helping students with logic – and a lot helping them learning & managing programming tools.

This is true and fits my experience.

> Programmers like to think that they spend all their time creating elaborate & complex abstractions but far more time is consumed dealing with the tools and idioms encrusted with historical baggage.

I disagree. Junior developers spend a disproportionate amount of time learning how to use the tools but after about 3 years all the terminal and editor idiosyncrasies should be second nature. If a person is still struggling with tooling for any significant part of most weeks either something is very wrong or you’ve recently changed jobs (and will be up to speed soon).

It’s clear that the author spends a huge amount of time with beginners, which probably colors his perception too much.

That's because you are looking from the outside in.

Every person who has grown up in the US has grown up in this situation. Having to drive nearly everywhere is our version of normal.

Public transit in the US sucks. In practically every city that even has it, it's the worst way to get anywhere. It's often a last resort: a tool for the desperately poor.

On top of that, most of the US is made up of small towns that public transit wouldn't make any sense for. A significant percentage of Americans must regularly travel between a major city and a small town. That means they must have a car, and a place in the city to park it. It's a fool's errand to convince most people that they should drive and take public transit all in one trip, even if it would save them time and gas.

There is more to this situation than the vicious cycle that perpetuates it. If we can be clear about how we intend to accommodate that reality, we might be able to do something about it politically.

I was not suggesting that an LLM itself consists of an arrangement of the copyrighted works comprising the training data, but that the specific selection of the copyrighted works comprising the training data is part of what differentiates one LLM from another. A strained but useful analogy might be to think of the styles of painting an artist is trained in and/or exposed to prior to creating their own art. Obvious or subtle, the art style an artist has studied would likely impact the style they develop for themself.

However, to address your point about derivative works directly, the consensus among copyright law experts appears to be that whether a particular model output is infringing depends on the standard copyright infringement analysis (and that’s regardless of the minor and correctable issue represented by memorization/overfitting of duplicate data in training sets). Only in the most unserious legal complaint (the class action filed against Midjourney, Stability AI, etc.) is the argument being made and that the models actually contain copies of the training data.

* Makes it accessible to people as long as they can code and do further-high school calculus.

* Makes good decisions about where

* Lots of practice of the same concepts

* Pause and think opportunities (although arguably there should be more)

* Charisma

* Always explaining things vs. real world so you know why you are learning this

* Use of the right tools so you are focused on learning the topic not setups

* Follow up exercises are available, are challenging but completable.

* Discord community

Most of your argument goes against suburban living.

Concrete and asphalt: If you add up all the parking lots and roads in a suburb and divide it by the number of people, the area is much larger than the amount of concrete per apartment dweller.

Street lighting: Again, much higher in the suburbs due to the low density. An apartment building with 100 units might have 10 street lights. Each house could very well have 1 street light in front of it. Not to mention all the arterial stroads where no one lives.

Extra topic - heating: A house is surrounded on 5 sides by cold. An apartment is surrounded on 5 sides by apartment.

I wonder how low a resolution in facial keypoints you would have to go to have any plausible claim that the data is no longer PII?
