> According to Data Centres By Sweden – which is launching Stockholm-like projects across the country – only 10 MW of energy is needed to heat 20,000 modern residential apartments. The typical Facebook data centre, for example, uses 120 MW.

I've replaced most of my repositories on github with notices like this one (for the same reason): https://github.com/tpapastylianou/process_optargs

I wonder if there's a licence out there already that enables use for humans, but restricts use by robots. (GPLv4 perhaps?)
I'm not really sure how you can compare those two. Mocking nickleback was a pseudo-joke like hating pineapple pizza, used for social comfort.

Bezos is not that. It's maybe a bit exaggerated where it might seem like people think he's the worst person, but in reality he's just a name that everybody knows who most people think is a bad person on multiple levels - but the approach to management of quantifying everyone and treating them like machines so that they have wild turnover is something that a lot of people all agree is awful and repugnant.

I'm sure if you want to understand why Musk is hated you can google it, but he clearly courts controversy and tries to get attention by saying outlandish things and it usually backfires. His handling of twitter seems toxic to a lot of people (Just work crazy hard and sleep in the office or you suck!). Then there was the sexual harrassment too right? He never apologizes for any of it that I've seen. Also there are accusations he's manipulated stock prices for a meme. And at this point I think a lot of people think he's too chaotic/random to believe what he says afterall, even if he gave an apology.

Gates is a good counterexample. Either of these people could act like Gates and be less hated.

Yeah it’s becoming a bit less uncommon but not by much.

Maybe you could make up a Scottish heritage and wear a kilt? Other options would be overalls (there’s overall high-fashion) you might have the same shape issue as pants but they won’t fall down thanks to built-in suspenders (which you can play with e.g. cross, halves, …), or onesies (kigurumi) if you don’t mind being seen as a weeb.

Shoot I'm not a woman and I get it. Gym shorts come to mind.

The ones with pockets tend to have thicker waistbands and the pockets flair out near the top. Make my hips look huge. Very womanly, big fat ass. Easily adds an inch or two, or at least the appearance thereof.

Basketball shorts sans pockets look much slimmer. Great for B-ball but not as much while lifting or other activities where I want to carry a cell phone.

I have got a Mx Ergo, and to everyone else out there asking questions about this trackball. Let me tell you.

As long as you are not using the mouse to draw (photoshop, gis software, cad software etc...) you will adapt. And the thingy is comfortable to use.

If you need to do some of those tasks that requires drawing a polygon, snap vertex into other things etc... The MX Ergo is not for you. You can do it, but you will be significantly more slow, even after months of practice. Look something else. I wish someone would have told me this before.

No changes needed, it grabbed my attention and stood out. You clearly know what you are talking about.

But assuming your goal is to make a positive impact in the industry, managers need to be able to read this and get actionable takeaways.

You’ve got my attention as an engineer, but a follow up post for each of these examples would be the place to close the deal. They of course would have to be written with a different (and dare I say more constructive) slant. It needs to be something someone can take to a manager and get a chance of some good conversations. It can still be persuasive, but in order to be actionable I would expect specific examples, clear definitions of the issue, and recommendations that tend to be familiar or standard.

I would do plenty of research too. Because for one thing you need to ensure you are giving correct advice. But it will provide a massive boost to your credibility to include that research in the posts. It will also save your reader the trouble of doing independent research (which they likely would not have done in the first place but still require it for actionable change, or the idea gets shelved). -10x engineers can leave managers no time to do that
kind of diligence, but the managers still know better than to blindly trust what someone says on the Internet. Back up your arguments with evidence where possible.

I know it’s a tall order but if you have the time to put that much quality into a series from this, it could be great. I only say this because from what I can see, you do know what you are talking about, and clearly have passion about this.

I look forward to reading anything you do come up with, whatever the approach :)
Solving Infrastructure Fragmentation with Data – Some Engineering Inc
I could actually see them doing it as a way to not get people that aren't just an amalgamation. That can happen with Stable Diffusion right now, for instance. You usually get a better face if you get more specific than "man," such as "a 35 year old white man from Illinois with brown hair and blue eyes."

However, right now tuned to be super diverse and either it's injecting something like "a photo of a black woman from Atlanta" or there's something up with their model where if it doesn't match what would normally be done with the rest of the prompt it throws it off and makes it go from illustration/painting/whatever to a photo.

After I wrote my comment I tried running the same prompt on Bing and I think they actually do seem to check the image after generation, especially after you ask it for something it doesn't want to do. After I ran the prompt I did in my parent comment and it refused, I then asked it to just give me a photo of a "14 year old girl in a dress." It made the image but didn't show it to me.

Even that won't be perfect though, along with filtering. I have a Stable Diffusion model of my wife and I used nude and boudoir-y images in the training and it got a bit overtrained. Her in Stormtrooper armor? It's now sexy Stormtrooper armor. It once tried to generate an image of her as a baby/small child even though that wasn't at all in the prompt. I stopped it mid-generation but I'm guessing it would have been in some way "sexy." With diffusion models that stuff can just...happen.
I promise you that all financial and legal systems worth rewriting require a lot more context than 32K tokens.

Given the utter absence of solid test coverage, a much more likely approach is massive coverage generation via ChatGPT test generation & human audits, and then a gradual rewite by humans assisted by ChatGPT.

It's a really good tool, it's nowhere good enough to do automated rewrites. (And as long as the results matter, you'll continue to have humans in the loop for more than 5 years - if for no other reason than cleanly assigning legal blame)

Best resources to learn about Automated Market Makers?
Hi,

What is the best resource to learn about Automated Market Makers used by the likes of Uniswap.

What comprehensive documents/resources exist of how they work and how to build them.
That's partly what I do, but by running Folding@Home during the day (I have solar panels, and I export a lot of electricity). Free heat + compute capacity science
IoT sensors powered by ML may not provide good use cases for consumers, mostly because all things they can do can be done by a large model in the cloud, plus a phone. It will get interesting when we ask what use cases can't be solved by phone+cloud combo.

Such things as air quality management are good use cases. You can't use your phone to do that.
Certainly not on Friday night or Saturday, unless they open it ahead of time and leave it there. Maybe we can train Shabbas goys to use bash.
This current moment is super impressive, but the output of the models is still mediocre. I worry that over the next 12-24 months, we'll be overwhelmed with autogenerated content (docs, apps, games, news) that gets a B- or C.

Once the novelty wears off, no one wants to play your [terrible] autogenerated asteroid clone. There are a lot of startups that are two LLMs in a trench coat, and they will not be able to improve faster than people's expectations increase.

"__SIZE_TYPE__" is a builtin symbol in the preprocessor, seriously?

echo __SIZE_TYPE__ | cpp -
# 1 "<stdin>"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 31 "<command-line>"
# 1 "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" 1 3 4
# 32 "<command-line>" 2
# 1 "<stdin>"
long unsigned int

Okay, so it's defined in a file apparently. But why is that file automatically included in every program, and not the more usual type definitions? And is there really no better way to define "an integer the size of a pointer" than by going through this rat's nest of text substitutions?

The C language seems almost designed on purpose to maximize uglyness. It is called "portable assembly language", but even in this day and age when there are only two or three relevant processor architectures, which have been largely designed around being able to run C code efficiently (to the detriment of everything else), it falls short of that.

It is only portable at all because of include files that are included from other files, containing __MACROS__ calling on __OTHER__MACRO_S___ to the n-th degree.

The most advanced compiler algorithms are then applied to the problem of transforming the resulting ((void *)(__pile_of(cr*p))()) back into machine code that is at least not completely terrible. Follow every obscure rule of the standard, and they might be so nice not to remove your carefully written null pointer check in the process!

And people worship this uglyness and needless complexity, even as it strangles the life out of every other technology like a cancer that has been growing for 50 years. Professionals and hobbyists both, they celebrate how clever they are, being able to work around its deficiencies, think that they are dealing with the fundamentals of computer science rather than the grotesque evolution of an operating system originally written to typeset documents and play SpaceWar.

Just once I'd like to see a new operating system - better yet, a new CPU! - that is not based on C and UNIX, one that is outright hostile to them at every level of abstraction. Not a single line of C code anywhere, different calling convention, different filesystem, user interface, networking etc.
There was a (Wired?) article about what kinds of weapons one could build from things available to buy after the gates.
If you can't afford to sink the money into a startup, you probably should not attempt to do so, right?

The fallacy here lies in assuming that every startup requires capital. Capital greases the wheels, sure. But far too many people think entrepreneurship is just dumping money into an "idea" until it works, and that's actually the worst possible way to go about building a business.

I've been building businesses since I was 10. Very low income family. They certainly weren't funding anything (nor was I in middle-school). But the spirit of entrepreneurship has always been there.

Your baseline has to come from somewhere, which means the cost of that baseline has to be added into solar and wind. It's been my central point all along; intermittent generation can only complement, not replace, nuclear or fossils. At that point, you're better off building nuclear at scale using reproducing designs (or as close to as possible) to bring costs down like South Korea.

There's a solar install not too far from the Canadian border that has produced zero energy for months. It had to be shut down because, despite the panels being 16 feet tall, there are 12 feet of snow around them from accumulation and drifting. Over the next two days, they're getting another 6-12 inches of snow and sleet- conditions which cause wind turbines to draw energy from the grid to heat the blades so they don't build up ice and get damaged.

Is the answer to everyone not on the coast north of Arkansas to move somewhere else? For the whole of Canada to just get fucked?

Ah, the perennial Russian line that Western militaries are just too expensive to operate for long, and cheap Russian pragmatism will win in the long run. If we can just force them to waste all those expensive missiles on cheap Iranian drones, eventually they'll run out of money!

Yeah, maybe if Russia could sustain the effort for 30 years or something, which they can't. We're just that rich.
>Anyway comparing a government job to big tech isn't fair. It is big tech salaries that are unusual, not the other way around.

A similar role in the US would still pay 3-4x that.

This is based on people "voting with their talent" and showing that they will put up with _a lot_ in exchange for $150k+ salaries.
The best countermeasure Russia had was to not invade Ukraine. Russia failed to employ it and an expanded NATO is the result.

My whole point was that while CPS might get called by some idiot neighbour, the chance of them doing anything is basically nonexistent, especially not something as drastic as taking away custody.

It reduces down to: "I'm not going to do [perfectly legal and normal thing] because [person who doesn't like me] might report me to [authority figure]". By that logic, I shouldn't eat meat because my vegan neighbour might report me to the police for murder.

When I was a teen, me and my friends had the cops called on us me multiple times for things as absurd as sitting on the stairs in the building I lived in or rollerblading up and down the street, but every time, the cops kindly explained to the grumpy old pensioner that called them that this was perfectly legal, nobody was being harmed and to not call about nonsense like that again. People always have and always will try to report others for things they don't like. But that's like half of the cops' or CPS's job - to take those reports, figure out what actually counts as a crime, investigate whether it actually happened and only then charge the suspect.
> the expansion of NATO gives the US ability to force its will upon NATO members and its neighbors

Last I checked countries apply to join, and the alliance is free to leave. And of course like in any organization if you want to reap the benefits you may want to also accept some of the drawbacks. The most obvious one for a country like Finland probably isn't somehow being under the spell of the US, but rather being in an alliance with Turkey and Hungary, which can be pretty problematic for democratic countries these days.

NATO mind control rays forced him to shoot himself in the foot.
Having been involved finances at a multi-national, i doubt this works.

Each country is it’s own free standing company with it’s own P&L. And combined profit is what rolls up into annual reports.

I highly doubt a company like Google would let a country ride with poor profit dragging down earnings per share.

And on top, they arent going to risk US revenue (likely several multiples of most countries in Europe) by firing people they actually need just to avoid laying people off in another country.

It’s cheaper to just do the bare minimum of whatever the country requires for lay offs and be more careful hiring next time to avoid layoffs in the future.

Xi Courts Macron in Bid to Drive Wedge Between Europe and US
Wow. So it seems there are two key moments in the fraud.

First, while shopping the company, the CEO represents to potential suitor JP Morgan that they have 4.25M “users”. JPMC bites and asks for proof eg during diligence, and so CEO asks a Dir Eng to fake it. They refuse. So she gets a contractor to build it, sends it through a “vendor”, and the deal goes through.

I think this dataset must be de-identified randomly-generated junk, something like signup dates and fake IPs, because then theres a second fraud: Post acquisition, JPMC starts asking “hey about all those users we paid for, we’d like to market to them now”, and now CEO is in a bind because she needs names and emails. So she commits a second forgery, purchasing a list of 4.5M (name, email) records from a data broker.

Outrageously brazen if proven. I wonder if at any point while the deal was going through, this founder knew this house of cards would someday fall apart.. As usual, you think, “what on earth was the plan?!”
If the US invaded Canada and Mexico looked to Russia for support in case they're next, I certainly wouldn't blame them.
