Admittedly, I thought I was being concise, but edited my post into a real head-scratcher.

I was thinking along the lines of protections such as presumption of innocence, and burden of proof, as making it hard to convict people. But it does require competent defense to enforce those things.

An example of easy to convict is countries where prominent dissidents are arrested for nebulous "corruption," and basically stand no chance.
The entire thing is a grift, it's the public face of the "Rationality" cult.
oh dang, ok... the "Home" link on your blog should really go to that page instead. I clicked home assuming it would take me to the landing page, then didn't even check the url (which was https://www.coscreen.co/blog/tag/deep-collaboration/ for some reason? why is that Home?)

Generally. Depends a bit on climate, choice of heat pump, and relative energy costs.

A ground loop can make cooling cheaper too, as can upgrading to newer more efficient compressors.

Building a custom site for zine feedback
That's a good point. I guess if I were doing the equivalent in TypeScript (which I would never do, because I'd rather write Bash for that... but this is a separate mental issue of mine), I would `npm install -g` to install packages globally. That's roughly equivalent to using the system python environment. And actually this specific use case you mention is one that doesn't have a great story with node. Currently the best solution IMO is to use Zx [0] which you could reasonably install globally, and which pre-packages some common scripting dependencies.

I think the major difference between Python and JS "environments" is that with Python virtualenvs, the `python` binary itself is (usually?) part of the environment. But with JS, you generally have one `node` installed on your system, and then multiple "environments" aka projects each with their own yarn.lock and package.json. Of course you can have multiple `node` versions using something like `nvm`, but it's definitely less coupled to the per-project environments than `python` is to whatever virtualenv dependencies you have.

I would agree the quality of posts has gone downhill, and is way too political for my liking, but there's not much other place to go that isn't elitist.
The state can't even build a "high speed" (or as other countries might call it, regular speed) train track between those places.

A whole lot of Americans don't want that. You can tell by how much more expensive it is to live in walkable city centers than in suburbs.
I had a Q6600 machine with some boot ssd, unplugged for years. Maybe a crucial vertex 4 128GB? Started right up like nothing happened.
I have an Intel Mac, an M1, and a Linux laptop.

IMHO, the places Linux wins are:

1. Customization. You can customize the desktop experience ad infinitum with Linux. You can customize it a bit with MacOS.

2. Speed. On older hardware, I've never seen Windows or MacOS outperform a lightweight Unix install. Gives old machines new life.

3. Cost. Not only is the hardware cheaper, it's actually possible to upgrade.

So you have to weigh the importance of those factors.

FWIW, the MacOS M1 has panicked on me 3 times in the past 6 months. Which is 3 more times than the other computers combined. 30 minute crashes sound to me like either a hardware issue (either busted or bad driver) or a broken Mint install. (I'm Arch, myself.)

Since I'm a fan of R2R, I'll probably get a Framework next--no ARM, sadly.
Clickbait if I’ve ever seen it.
> People who want fiscally responsible government?

The Washington D.C metro is a multi-billion dollar money pit from hell that's mismanaged and filled with graft, death and delays. California built a 1 billion dollar bus station that nearly collapsed on itself. In the US, some of the most fiscally un-responsible transportation is public government run transportation.

> Fundamentally, if humanity is given data set A, it will eventually generate dataset A' of 'higher quality' than A.

This same phenomenon happens with evolution, which is obviously not ‘intelligent’.

Each human can basically be randomly exploring a problem space near things they have seen and understand, but they have a way of knowing when they hit on something new and interesting.

Even a dumb AI could randomly try a bunch of things… as long as it doesn’t try the same thing twice and had a lot of time, who knows what it might come up with. Validating the solution is usually easier than finding it.

You don’t ask for more equity. You make them give it to you by providing so much value that if they even hint that you’ll leave. They’ll double the offer.

I interviewed with a company last month who when I stepped away from the offer table. They almost doubled their equity offer. Even at a low valuation it would have been north of 500k.

The power of equity is not in its cash value my friend. Equity is a huge stick, and how you use it matters.

For example; you can do a forward contract on your equity to delay taxes, and get a cash out without selling the equity. How you structure that deal helps and can be advantageous.

You can use equity as collateral for loans. IE using equity to buy a house in SF for 10-20% down with a huge balloon payment at the end. Backed by equity. In which you then sell the house before the balloon payment hits, you keep the equity, and you also earn equity from the sale of the house.

You can do construction loans backed by equity on new homes. Then sell them for profit. You can do the same with multi-family homes, providing affordable living conditions for folks while taking a chunk off the top.

I really suggest you sit down with an accountant specializing in these things. From your blog you’ve dealt with funds and fundraising. You may understand it from inside a business. You need to understand it from the side of a sales rep or rich individual.
Many people knew it was a bigger deal, with a casual glance at the chemicals involved. It has been a typical snowjob because the media likes the people in charge.
Good point! My idea is to have people simply rocket launched via pods from LA to SF over the air about 200-300 meters off the ground on average. Sure, it’s unsafe, and probably has a ton of reasons that it won’t work. But isn’t it an innovative way to solve transportation problems that definitely isn’t a tactic intended to downplay public transit in CA so that my totally unrelated car business has less of a risk of succeeding?
Wow, it looks pretty advanced! How does it generally compare to other (free) software in terms of features? What are the advantages over other systems, what are its disadvantages?

Have you been working on this thing by yourself? Have you ever shared it before? This looks like it has gotten very little attention so far, especially in relation to how good it seems.

What was your main motivation for building a new program rather than improving an existing one like FreeCAD?
Might help him in the primary, but Trump's performance in the general election in 2020 fell pretty dramatically from 2016. The margin of popular vote victory for his opponent was much wider in 2020.

People who gave Trump a chance in 2016, or stayed home because they didn't think he'd be that bad, changed their minds in 2020. Persuadable voters in Michigan and Wisconsin who moved away from Trump are not more likely to vote for him because he was arrested.

The grievance politics works exceptionally well among a certain block of voters, but he needs to make gains beyond this block if he wants to win. There's just not enough of them.
That isn't even an elite school thing. That's an any school in the top 100 engineering/math/physics/CompSci thing. Mine was ~50ish and the vast majority of people in the program had at least one semesters worth of AP Calculus credits. Linear algebra was a first or second semester course if you followed the default recommended degree plan. That was only about 10 years ago, and other schools I considered all had similar looking degree plans.

I'm inclined to think the concern (that we will run out of supply of people that can do math or something) is overblown. There are plenty of underemployed engineering and science students that took more advanced mathematics classes than the CS kids.
Thirty minutes of walking everyday is a good thing, not a bad thing.
I use one of the wireless CarPlay adapters. Works fine. Only real downside is like I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the audio does have a bit of a delay similarly to Bluetooth audio playback (as in, if I skip to next song or pause using either the screen or my steering wheel controls, it takes maybe a half second or one second longer than when I just have it plugged in for wired CarPlay).
> 3.5" floppies - 800K-1.44MB, small and slow.

I feel like a lot of people in this thread are missing a crucial part of the historical context:

ZIP files can be split. That is, a single ZIP file can span more than one floppy disk. The entry for each compressed file in the central directory, which is always on the last floppy disk, has a field which says in which disk the compressed file can be found. If you had a multi-disk ZIP file, and wanted to extract a single file from it, you inserted the last disk, pointed the unpacking software at it, and it would tell you which disk(s) to insert (in sequence) to extract that file.

A lot of the strange decisions of the ZIP file format make sense if you think about that use case: you have a directory full of files, which you want to compress into a set of floppy disks; and once you have that set of floppy disks, you want to extract a subset of the compressed files. You also want to be able to extract the undamaged files even when the last floppy disk (with the central directory) is damaged.
There's a version of pyenv for windows called pyenv-win. The cli installs as `pyenv` and the commands are the same. So not game over imo.

Also, [even if it did], it installs binaries and doesn't compile.
Upvoted. There is a significant HN backlash against Twitter - where any data even remotely positive for Twitter or even mentioning the stuff in the Twitter files that contradict known "facts" about Twitter's previous "fairness" will get you downvoted by the dozen.
>Why should I relent when those points show that COPPA is indeed quite different from GDPR? What's the flaw in my reasoning here?

The flaw, in my view, is that you begin with something that sounds very general (GDPR is the first extraterritorial law!!) and wind up defending a very particular and narrow statement which is appears distant from your starting position (GDPR is the first extraterritorial law that targets SERVERS).

>GDPR is saying they could take action against one lone Chinese person operating a small business from home within China, someone who has never even left China, just because they collected data on someone in France.

Personally I wouldn't base my interpretation of a complex, and to a large extend untested, international law on some document from a international conglomerate (i.e. Deloitte). I would ask myself, if there are any ulterior motives (i.e. profit) that might be biasing their view.

NB: Biased information != False information.
What for more specifically and why? Just out of curiosity.
Same, performance of the quantised 30B model on my m1 16GB air is absolutely terrible. A couple of things I noticed on activity monitor:
1. "memory used" + "cached files" == 16GB (while swap is zero)
2. Disk reading is 500-600MB/s
3. it seems that every token is computed exactly _after every ~20GB read from disk_ which actually points that for calculating each token it actually re-reads the weights file again (instead of caching it). I actually suspect that swapping may have been more efficient.

The last part (3) that it rereads the whole file again is an assumption and it could just be a coincidence that the new token is computed at every ~20GB read from disk, but it makes sense, as I do not think swapping would have been that inefficient.
Thank you! Also sounds like heat pumps come with multi or infinite stages akin to a CVT to be able to run at any speed for the heating or cooling demands. Rather than legacy units that are only On or Off.

Down in the comments, sounds like MA has good incentives, but not seeing other states. CA is banning new gas installations, so I assume heat pumps are the only way for new developments
Large subways can easily beat cars. The problem is most public transportation sucks in the US so people don’t use it, so it isn’t fixed.

Just look at 248 mi of track in NYC vs 17.4 in LA.
Some quick Googling fails to find a good answer, but I'd venture to say that a significant majority of the US population lives in places with mild enough winter weather for heat pumps to be practical even without good cold weather heat pump technology. The northern interior US, where the coldest winters tend to be, covers a lot of area but is pretty sparsely populated compared to the coasts and the south, probably in part because most people don't like frigid winters. Arguably human temperature preference is actually ideally suited to favorable heat pump conditions.
More than I like a private company telling me what's true and untrue.
Don't forget cars.
Definitely agree. Honestly though, I think it's because their servers are literally melting right now. Once they have that under control, they will add viral features.
No one asked me, but my taxonomy is

* coding = typing or clicking to have computers do stuff

* programming = knowing how to type or click to make computers do stuff given knowledge of the SDK, libraries, toolchain, and _ideally_ how to communicate effectively with the IDE

* software engineering = knowing when _not_ to program, knowing about components and the implication of their boundaries and contracts with the things outside of that component's boundaries, which in my world includes but is no limited to other methods in that same module, other modules in the same deployment, internal consumers, and most importantly any promises the code (or management) have made to _external_ consumers

---

* coding = able to use a hammer

* programming = able to assemble an Ikea cabinet, sometimes without the correct tools or complete instructions available

* software engineering = able to design an Ikea cabinet for others and striving for a very low RMA rate
No, yeah. Suppose I am arguing for a light touch. Assuming one were at the levers of power (of the state apparatus, of the corporation, etc). That humility is lacking, for even the very wise cannot see all ends. It is a conservative point of view, what's the rush anyway. The next generation may have better data.
> Programmers like to think that they spend all their time creating elaborate & complex abstractions

Nope. Totally not. I spend all my time creating super-simple code using as few abstractions as possible. If anyone thinks my code is "elaborate" then I done it wrong.

'Improving' car-oriented development has been observed to make things worse:

> It is a paradox in that improvements in the road network will not reduce traffic congestion. Improvements in the road network can make congestion worse if the improvements make public transport more inconvenient or if they shift investment, causing disinvestment in the public transport system.

Tao, Perelman, Wiles etc. aren't math geniuses because they can multiply numbers fast (which is a super weird definition of "math genius" tbh). They're math geniuses because they answer really hard questions in creative and unexpected ways; ways that often open up entire new areas of mathematics.

Basically SIMs owned by previous owners that are brimmed with scam messages and calls. They are much cheaper than new legitimate SIMs so many people choose them. Sometimes people buy trash SIMs that has "good" or "lucky" numbers (something like 999 999 9999)

Yeah, well, Intel laptops are trash subjectively speaking. I'd much rather have an M1 MacBook Air than any current Intel machine. In the past, ThinkPads were my favorite, but they got rid of many ergonomic features and now I can't even use tpmiddle to make the middle trackpoint button function as middle click without using scrolling features. Also, the BIOS on my Ryzen 5000 ThinkPad is always max brightness, regardless of what I had last set it to, so it's extremely uncomfortable to turn on at night or just after waking up, which is basically the only two times I want to use my laptop. Previous ThinkPads lacked all these issues, so they were my favorite overall laptops, but it increasingly seems like Lenovo staff probably don't even use them; I bet they use MacBooks, lol.

There is no reason MacBooks have to be the best modern laptops, and yet they are. That's why I think it's a good idea for this much effort to be put into making Linux/Free Desktop useful on them.

In your area. Ask the people who provide the most basic and fundamental services around you how they get by. The cashier at the supermarket. The waiter at your restaurant. The pizza delivery guy.

I promise you, one, they are not anywhere close to making 200k. And I'm sure plenty of them have kids, family they need to provide for.

I comprehend the issue in terms of degrees of freedom. How free, how autonomous are you compared to the cashier at the supermarket? Choose your dimensions. Choice of work, choice of shelter, choice of food. Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Try your best to objectively evaluate your freedom in the dimensions that matter to you.

Then compare to your chosen reference worker/s. Cashier, delivery guy, warehouse worker, office worker, etc.

To claim that you are a wage slave is to claim that you have even less freedom than the rest of us. So analyze it carefully.

And if you do reach the conclusion that the guy working the checkouts has more freedom than you, the logical conclusion is for you to quit your 4 hours a week, 200k job and become a checkout worker, no?

Well, I'm sure you'll have no interviewing problems there.
