So what you're saying is that it is not in their enemies' best interests to allow them to remain peaceful.

> China is doing everything it can to signal to its own population that war with Taiwan is imminent

I haven't seen this at all, though it may well be true. What I have seen, however, is a sudden regularity in articles over the last few months on how China is a threat to Taiwan, how everyone including somehow China really seems to admit it's very much not a part of China, and how its allies need to be prepared and proactive about "defending" it from China.

Not saying Chucky isn't a bully, but I can't shake the feeling that going round telling people how you're rounding up the gang and are preparing to give him and his chums a lesson, isn't exactly the peace-maintaining de-escalation people think it is. Especially in the absence of an "if he tries something" clause.
Given that the Baltics are part of NATO, and NATO maintains a multinational advance force in the Baltics (to give the non-Baltic NATO countries some skin in the game), invading the Baltics wouldn't risk starting WWIII, it would be WWIII.

(Depending on the surrounding circumstances, it might not be the "start" of WWIII. If Russia invaded Estonia tomorrow, WWIII would probably be seen as starting with the Russo-Ukrainian invasion of 2022.)
>It is much harder to determine why a certain car ended up in the path of an active hurricane or twister

Around 100 people in the US die in a twister per year, including those with AM radios, and these are extremely rarely in cars. So quite reasonably there are less than 3 people killed in cars by twisters per year, and likely zero would have been changed by AM radio or not in the car.

Around 40k people are killed in cars per year, including some with seatbelts. Around 15k lives are estimated saved by seatbelts per year.

So, you're really trying to compare on order of 0 lives saved per year in a car for AM versus 15,000? And then to invoke yet more ridiculous fear you're now throwing in twisters, which adds around, let's see, 0 deaths to the equation?

Again, making such outlandish comparisons as if they're at all equivalent will make people ignore your argument. As I now will since you seem hell bent on claiming somehow AM radio is a safety issue yet have twice made honestly innumerate arguemtns for it.
I think that's it—these models are definitely capable of creating output not seen in the input, which we would define as human "creativity," and they can even combine concepts in novel ways, which is loosely what we call "innovation." But they are quite biased to create plausible output, which severely restricts their ability to create something interesting.

You can dial up the temperature, but this quickly pushes the output from "bland" to "totally unhinged."
To me, amazon is good enough - meaning i'd rather they not change it even if that made it better in some way.
"Just economics", sure, its cheap to exploit China.

That's why I'm saying: just, stop!

It has to become consumer-preferred to have something cool be built locally.

This won't happen until someone builds something cool this way.
I don’t think there’s any specs to certify against for hypervisors. Think other AWS offerings are FIPS certified, like the CloudHSM, but Enclaves is a different system and use case.
I agree, I dont know if it's a mental thing of feeling in control or really more convenient
You don't want idle containers on gpus. Something like kserve which sits on knative which is similar to aws lambda is pretty useful and allows scaling deployments to 0. There is some request buffering before the containers and scaling based on the number of concurrent requests a container can support since almost all of these deployed model inference services are gpu and cpu bound, you don't want to route more requests than it can handle because cpu/gpu contention harms throughput.
I mean, yes, you have around 100 trillion interconnections in your brain, likely the most complicated biological device on this planet, to create the accuracy you perform. We're just very power efficient when doing that computation.

The exact opposite for me. If I know what I want, I go to Walmart by default simply because Walmart (and Target) let you reliably filter seller to Walmart and Target.

And, as far as I know, they do not commingle inventory.

If I do not know what I want, or it can be some cheap AliExpress crap delivered quickly with a return policy, then I go to Amazon.

The opposite also applies: don't reinvent the wheel if you want to get something done.

Existing game engines like Unity/Unreal already have builtin solutions for entity management, but if you're (for whatever reason) using something that's more custom you can avoid having to reinvent entity management by using an ECS library. Similar to how you'd use libraries like SDL/bgfx/sokol for graphics.
That all looks erotic.
Even the loudest, most annoying haters don't think it's overvalued by 50x. More like 10x at most, if you think it's just like any other car company and growth is going to zero.

My point was about the business though, not the stock price. The business is solidly profitable.
Somewhat related but for years I've been surprised by how irrelevant the items Amazon recommends on my homepage. They have decades of my personal shopping data along with credit card, demographic, media interests, and lots more.

The irrelevant suggestions + cluttered homepage UI makes Amazon only useful when shopping for something specific.

I have some A.I. assistance now for my Hacker News and other online participation (meet よしのん) but I have long thought of keeping a database of all my old posts that could be accessed to write the first draft of old posts, today I think the performance of that system could be excellent with text embeddings and cross-encoders.

You're missing the end of the quote, a bit further in the next sentence:

A paradigm shift being: "a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions."

The biggest thing I would want from Walmart over Amazon is a solid supply chain.

> ...and India can't compensate for all of this

India has enormous challenges of its own, one of them being that their export industry is weak outside pharmaceutical products. They also are not in the best of terms with China, especially on border disputes, and their GDP per capita is the lowest by far among BRICS.

I'm honestly surprised when anyone suggests that India may be put in the same group as China. Other than population and WMD, the gap is unlikely to be closed in the next three decades.

oh I get that, computing creates heat and we should totally re-use it.

But where CPU heat is 1 kWh of electricity = 1kWh of heat, a heat pump will have 1 kWh of electricity = 3 kWh of heat, because it's "sucking" 2kWh of heat from a medium (air, water, ground whatever) and literally making it colder.

Now OP was suggesting increasing the voltage of their computer as a way to generate more heat and "save" on heating, but it wouldn't be more economical than say, heat your home with a toaster (1 kWh electricity = 1kWh heat). It works, it's just not very efficient.

So I was saying, assuming you have a heat pump, better send that little bit extra energy to the heat pump than increase the voltage of your CPU. (And yes that was tongue in cheek before anyone think I'm serious for a second)

But yeah, if you have computer that produce heat, and you're having to get rid of that heat that's waste and ideally it should be used somewhere else.
"Adderall addicts"

Thanks for reminding me which medication[1] I forgot to take... again.

My ADHD[3] must've made me very addicted to Adderall, huh.

Perhaps consider that people with ADHD tend to thrive in creative professions, especially if they allow an opportunity to hyperfocus (the disorder is named awfully[2]), have somewhat flexible schedules, and excel in emergencies / high stress situations.

That's to stay, there's a correlation between people in tech (especially the startup scene) and ADHD people who benefit greatly from stimulants.

So here's a clue: people like you using phrases like Adderall addicts only perpetuates the stigma, and leads to the current situation with hidden limits and other shady bigotry.

Consider clicking the links below, and learning more about what ADHD is, and why and how medication helps people who have it. This is my personal experience, written up specifically for this purpose.

I’ve been contacted through who’s hiring a lot, though ultimately I was hired at a company where I knew the team well and was aligned with their goals/methodology/comp/etc.

I have the impression that who’s hiring is an excellent place to put yourself out there, though. I had a lot of exciting leads (a few of which I still follow because I liked the people I interviewed with and what they were building).
Building Tesla or OpenAI or Amazon or Google or Netflix or Moderna or Apple is a higher goal than merely surviving/putting food on your table.

The chiropractor I'm talking about asked a lot of questions and gave me a lot of advice about what to do at the gym:

- get a trainer for a while and

- work on stabilizer muscles

- pull 3x as much as pushing

- warm up before the training session so as to get the most of the trainer

- stretches to do after the workout

- etc.

I've never had a doctor of any kind be as helpful as that. All GPs nowadays see you for just 5 minutes. Specialists see you for a bit longer, and even then there's barely enough time to cover half of what the chiropractor I'm talking about did. Now, one of the things about that chiropractor is that she speaks really fast, so there's that.

I'd actually see this more as supporting my position.

Men simply wear the standard suit and forget about it, and no one rips into their fashion choices.

A woman wearing the same kind of suit will be seen as manly and be made fun of for that. The expectation is she will find something functional yet feminine, not wear it repeatedly and contrast with her female colleagues. Makeup must be enough to be nice for the camera but not so much as to look provocative.

While in a sense there are more available options we can see there is more social pressure.
I have a T14s Gen 3 and whilst it's a fine laptop it has minor quirks which make it a compromised experience vs a Macbook Air.

Screen resolution caps out at 1920x1200 which feels blurry coming from the 2560x1600 a Macbook provides.

Its speakers are awful - they use EQ under Windows (provided by the Lenovo Vantage software) to sound vaguely reasonable. Under Linux no such EQ exists (even though Linux is supported by Lenovo on this laptop) so the speakers sound like a smartphone (not exaggerating).

The trackpad is so-so, to get a trackpad in Lenovo's lineup comparable to a Macbook Air you'd have to buy their Z13 which costs £700 more.

Pluses are the AMD CPU and graphics are good enough to actually play games, like Flight Simulator 2020 at 30 fps on low settings, or older titles like Witcher 3 or Arkham Knight on high settings also at a constant 30fps.

The laptop itself is good value, I picked it up on sale for £1200 with 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM for £1200. A comparable Macbook Air (M1) is £1600.
Oh definitely, but sadly I think the culture and people involved in FP tend to be susceptible to politics. But I am in no way _blaming_ that or acting like FP should change. Those same cultures, values, and people are what make the various FP languages and communities out there great.
Odd, I went the opposite way -- a full blown high-end Bluetooth headset. I'm also a field warrior as well part of the time, so on-the-road audio is important to me and my callers.

The Blueparrott B450-XT is an amazing headset. Did I buy it at a truck stop? Yeah. But I've been on an audio call where I literally stood in front of a box fan with my face against the fan and nobody could hear the fan in the microphone at all. The noise cancellation on the mics is downright amazing and everyone heard me loud and clear over fans, datacenter environments, the works.
Absolutely amazing! I feel like this could be nicely packaged into a proper product, along with a teacher's guide and then sold to schools. I feel like a lot of people have given up on fundamental electronics as there's just so much other stuff to spend time on, stuff like this could make it a tiny bit more approachable again.
You already know what I owe or don't owe. Send me a bill in the mail. Americans are generous givers. The reason they hate taxation is because you've made the average person equate taxes with unnecessary gamesmanship and one side honesty. If taxes were simplified, Americans would be willing to pay more. They'd gladly give the yearly cost of their tax prep to be free of the burden.

You see this if you troll through kernel logs or any enterprise piece of software; pages and pages of warnings like this:

BOBFLANGLE IS DEPRECATED AND MAY BE REMOVED, PLEASE REDUCE THE BOBFLANGLE USAGE BELOW 1.5 MILLIBOBS

Then if it actually becomes an issue, you can pull logs from thousands/millions of systems, and determine the extent of actually removing the BOBFLANGLE and begin mitigation.
No, that is not to my benefit. As a US based employee I would generally rather have fewer employment rights. While this might increase my risk of getting laid off, this also makes it easier to find a new job. Employers are more likely to hire me if they know they're not being locked into a long term commitment. And greater labor flexibility increases the average economic growth rate; a rising tide lifts all boats.

The amount of cash reserves is entirely irrelevant. Why would shareholders want to waste that capital on unnecessary employees when it could be invested in growth projects or returned as a dividend?

Time will tell if that hypothesis remains true, but inflation is a thing. What you build now with an amortizing cost over decades may weight much cheaper on your debt than you thought.

In that aspect, if you're a state actor, paying more to get lower maintenance costs is usually a good choice.
I'd assume that in public communication it is not a mistake but deliberate move to diminish the perceived severity of the problem.
Traits are behaviors. But they are not called behaviors as that would be too clear. For example, we know that traits are personal "uniquely identifying characteristics" and that behaviors are general cross-cutting categories, but for this "mixin" we opt to use the personal 'trait'. We also know we're not just describing something but also have "implementation", but hey let's not call it behavior and give the game away!

One of the biggest headaches in software (historically) is how things have been named. ("Dynamic programming" says hello).

What is a trait?

Traits: Composable Units of Behavior, 2002

https://scg.unibe.ch/archive/papers/Scha02bTraits.pdf

--

"A trait contains a set of methods that implement the behaviour that it provides. In general, a trait may require a set of methods that parameterize the provided behaviour.

"Traits cannot specify any state, and never access state directly. Trait methods can access state indirectly, using required methods that are ultimately satisfied by accessors (getter and setter methods).

"The purpose of traits is to decompose classes into reusable building blocks by providing first-class representations for the different aspects of the behaviour of a class."
