One thing we seem to have discovered is that absolute randomness is harder than it might first seem.

Your idea combines what feels like a significant percentage of randomness while still having enough participation to rationalize buy-in.

It's tough to want to yield control of an important choice to a random number generator... though that's not an inaccurate description for this.

I like this as a perspective on "the illusion of choice". Part of me hates the phrase because I want to believe that I can take meaningful action.
You don’t get to delegate ethical decision-making to anyone else. You have to decide for yourself what the right thing is for you to do given your own particular circumstances and beliefs.

Prusa printers generally work reliably. And they're expensive - epople are willing to pay for that reliability.

However, Prusa has been selling essentially 2017 technology for too long. Many customers are OK with this because 3D printing got to a decent point in 2017 and they don't need new frills. However, I think the inherent speed limit of the bed slinger design is going to start causing problems for them. Eventually people who just want a workhorse printer will also realize it's nice when the printer takes 60% of the time to produce the same output. Prusa hasn't demonstrated an ability to keep up with where the industry is going.
The comment you're looking for is here[1], where @jart does indeed seem to be echoing the claim that memory usage is reduced to surprising levels given the LLM architecture. Justine's original guess was that this is because the model is sparse (?) but in actuality it seems like memory usage is just being reported strangely by the system and that a model that takes up 20GB on disk still effectively needs 20GB of RAM in the end.

I was. The government efficiently gave cash to almost everyone. That was pretty close to UBI. The biggest issue with direct payments were due to the way separated couples claim dependents.

UI, which I specifically mentioned, was a fraud carnival.
No, I assume the free market that does exist, i.e. the one where the outcome of competition is monopoly/oligopoly. On the way to oligopoly you get all these sweet, sweet benefits from competition, so one of the major goals of government has to be breaking up the ologipolists/monopolists or at least regulating them in such a way that they can't exercise market power (i.e. mitigating market power) so we can keep competition fierce and keep benefiting from said fierce competition. Doing the above has mostly been an utter failure in America and Canada since roughly the 1970's.

It's interesting that I said government self inflicted a lot of this in the rent space by over-regulating and you seem to think this is an example of the free market not working rather than the government breaking the market.
Just by virtue of how the human brain transducers auditory signals versus visual signals there is a big disparity in being able to automate music production. We fill in many gaps for vision but to a much smaller degree for music. There's a lot less room for AI to fudge the difference between human and generative model derived music.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out as I'm sure AI will found some use in music that has broad application and influence. But it will take a lot longer than generating pictures
> Also nothing signals undateable more than "I l[i]ve with my parents".

This is cultural though. In the US that certainly seems very true. In other places (such as where I'm from), living at home with parents until marriage is the normal default.
Well another possible interpretation of the naming scheme is:

- (Planet-)ship gets you around different places on the same planet.

- Starship gets your around different celestial bodies in the solar system.

- Galaxyship gets your around different star systems in the galaxy.
The most basic advice is to try to focus on the time you have with them now - really spend some quality time and don't put it off.

If you're anxious about the future, it's because you're spending you're time in this mentally fast forwarded space where you're dealing with the imagined realities of it.

Your imagined ideas of future challenges, in my experience, are usually much worse than the ones I actually deal with. IMO, anxiety has more drawbacks than advantages.

Let tomorrow's problems be tomorrow's problems. Enjoy your parents now.
> This reminds me of a weird phenomenon I've observed where users seem to have a better opinion of "slower" software. If certain, ostensibly complex operations like generating an output or saving a record take longer in one application than another, the first app is assumed to be "doing more" or "creating better results".

I'd speculate that this has more to do with a lack of feedback in the UI than anything.

> I see people stop working because they'd rather not deal with others when they already have their needs met.

While some folks do get benefits when they could be working many more are denied anything despite obviously being disabled and the money that is paid is a relative pittance that few would choose given any alternative.

> I see people who continuously pop more kids to keep the gravy train running - this is an issue.

This is basically a myth. There are TANF in most states has a lifetime limit of 5 years or less and we are talking about $283 per month for a single parent single child household and it doesn't scale linearly. The next child nets you an additional $44 for instance. Exact figures vary by state.

People effectively sell vouchers or food benefits because they are desperately poor and need other things. As the refrain goes "food stamps don't buy diapers". In the case of WIC the vouchers may be for things that they literally don't need can't eat which will expire and thereby be lost.

This is an example of the inefficiency of buying things for people instead of letting them buy their own things.

Apple tore down the service, leaving their users hanging out to dry, and has since added basically nothing that wasn't there before except for crappy client support outside the apple ecosystem.

Context switching burns people out and geeks don't notice how much they force themselves into too much of it.

E.G: I have a friend that went full nerd on his coding setup. Dvorak keyboard, Full Arch Linux with tiling windows manager. Everything in the terminal, all dev through vim. If it's not a religion, it's at least a lifestyle.

He is very happy with it: the keyboard is so ergonomic, he barely has to move the hand of it. Every task can be controlled out of a few key strokes

Except he didn't notice how much of a burden he put on himself.

Even for very simple tasks I see him struggling because of all the context switching.

If you have to copy/paste something from your web browser to your editor, it may require you to select with a mouse, and ctrl+c, then alt-tab a bit, click on the IDE tab and ctrl+v. Not instant, but this procedure is the same for everything, so it doesn't take much brain to do it.

For him, it's a whole guacamole, because there is a special shortcut to get to the browser, another one to get to the text, then copy/paste, then go to vim with another shortcut, select the proper buffer, paste with a yet another shortcut and make sure he uses the proper mode. Since Dvorak is a different layout than his phone keyboard or his client keyboards, the shortcuts don't perfectly rely on muscle memory.

Every simple task in his setup like that: it requires a lot of effort.

And his whole life outside of the computer is like that too, because he has very high moral standards, so he lives a constrained life in society that is optimized for a totally different life style. However he never cuts himself a slack.

Multiply that by a hundred times a day, a hundred days a year.

He burnt out.

And he has no idea why: all the reasons he gave me were external factor, blaming other people a lot.

But it was not.

He killed himself with a thousand paper cuts, chasing an ideal he theorized in his head but could not only never reached, but could not even assess the real cost on his life.
What never ceases to amaze me when reading ancient mathematics is how much harder everything is without proper notation.

For example, you don't have rational numbers, so you are forced to represent everything as awkward sums. Even computing, say, three fifths of a number is a challenge under that system!

You don't have \pi to represent "ratio of circumference to diameter", so you have to use ad-hoc approximations.

You don't have notation for polynomials, so even basic equations are ad-hoc problems.

Another example: (almost) the entire work of Diophantus, the man diophantine equations are named after, is basically obsoleted by \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

Mind you, it's not that these people were dumb. That they were solving those problems with limited tools is proof enough that they were very smart.

It's like trying to write a program in 80s Basic, at a certain point the incidental complexity is eating you alive.
Because of the housing crisis in my country that was a consequence of the 2008 crisis, my single parent household had no income and we barely didn't lose our home.

My siblings and I barely had food to eat and water to have a shower. We wore hand-me-downs for years to recover. Those memories have been etched in my brain to the point that it is almost impossible for me to give up habits picked from that time and change my mindset. Even though I am doing relatively okay now w/ an engineer's salary, I can't give up the bad habits formed from then.
I guess it's true that there would be no more war if everyone just rolled over any time a tyrant wanted to conquer a territory. But I think you can agree that wouldn't mean an end to the worst aspects of war, correct? Once the tyrant conquers, the death and oppression doesn't abate. At some point, people have to fight back, and we call that war.

No one wants to be in a war except malignant psychopaths like Putin. But once you are, the only way back is through.

https://web.dev/performance-http2/

With HTTP/1.x, if the client wants to make multiple
parallel requests to improve performance, then multiple TCP
connections must be used (see Using Multiple TCP
Connections ). This behavior is a direct consequence of the
HTTP/1.x delivery model, which ensures that only one
response can be delivered at a time (response queuing) per
connection. Worse, this also results in head-of-line
blocking and inefficient use of the underlying TCP
connection.

The new binary framing layer in HTTP/2 removes these
limitations, and enables full request and response
multiplexing, by allowing the client and server to break
down an HTTP message into independent frames, interleave
them, and then reassemble them on the other end.

it very often makes sense "to do that"
One area that interests me is if the same platform could be repurposed for some other domain.
If I may, I’d lite to quote, in their entirety, two older comments of mine:

⁂

I agree about your description about printers, but I wouldn’t call them “evil”. I’m trying to think of the best word to describe them… haunted? bizarre? chaotic? random? mysterious? No wait, I know; the perfect word is opaque. They do weird stuff and you don’t know why, and you can’t look inside them and find out why. Hmm, now that I’ve come to this conclusion, the answer seems to be the same obvious one that we already have for the similar problem of opaque software and operating systems. Free software, so you can actually look inside and debug the things when your system/printer has found some new way to confound you.

I seem to recall that the original story about how Richard Stallman was inspired to create the concept of free software was that he was stymied by proprietary software in a printer, so this would simply bring the concept back to its roots, so to speak.

I wish that the intelligence in printers would migrate back to the computer. Having printers with their own complex formats (PCL, PostScript, etc.) only makes them inscrutable and lends itself to proprietary competing formats and printouts which never gets quite right. I think the original NeXT machine was on the right track with their simple bitmap-only laser printer, where the PostScript processing was done on the computer side.

Reading through all of that, they're saying that they avoid a jungle of ifdefs to support multiple similar architectures, and they say the way to this is "isomorphism", which is supposed to be the opposite of abstraction.

Ok I get the gist, but no examples; how do they achieve that? A different page gives a list of supported calls, which seems to make it clear that what they did was a (probably a good job of) factorization of the problem domain into a set of standardized library calls [1] that model the abilities of the entire set of architectures closely. Applications/games can then use that library without #ifdef'ing for different architectures and still get highly efficient results.

Very clever, but of course they don't claim that their approach generalizes to very different architectures, like say X11 on RISC-V or something.

No, you misread what I said. "Simply a matter of deciding to solve the problem" is not "simple" by any means. There's no political incentive to solve cancer since isn't a problem that brings political advantage when solved, like there's no political "race to the moon" with a rival country that happened with Apollo. Race to the moon decided because USA and USSR went into a game of who gets there first; cancer has no such ongoing game and it's a much less spectacular aspect with results that are invisible when compared to videos taken on the surface of the moon.

Speaking of results, solving cancer would also mean that people get to live even longer than they do now, which, in an already locally overpopulated and locally aging society, would generate many more issues that death by cancer "conveniently" "solves" at the moment.

The government, advocacy groups, etc. need the problem of poverty more than they need the solutions to poverty. This is consistently true for every societal problem: racism, sexism, immigration, etc.
The phrasing was poor, but I had in mind a whole engine or stack, and not just a language in isolation.

Basically benchmarks like these:

To note, the first link has a follow-up with Go properly getting faster than deno when fitted with a better http server. Which is kinda my point: the tooling available and level of optimizations can easily have more impact than the language's inherent speed.

I overlapped there with Garrett, and while our work rarely overlapped, he was certainly around and "in the trenches". My point is that, from my point of view, he was a real person rather than a figurehead.

To some extent I could say the same for Elon, who was certainly around a lot. He was more of a general visiting the trenches, though. Also a real person, but of a different caste.

I was one of those lower level engineers building stuff. I stuck around for 3 years, and left when I was happy rather than burnt out. It was my first job after school, and I wanted to try some other companies before settling down.

I'm 'USA left wing' but NPR isn't doing itself any favors with this kind of angle on its stories. Eating bugs is a real story for example on hacker news https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20479426

Think about the quote in their story:

'"I don't want to eat the bugs. I don't want to live in the pod. I don't want to be trapped in a digital jail, and nothing they can do will make me," she said. Memes with similar wording have been circulating on social media.'

If you were a journalist trying in good faith to put your finger on the pulse, what would be the important social-political-economic story behind this quote? The story isn't 'a conspiracy theory about eating bugs'. It's about deeper things like the disruption of the power process in modern society, falling life expectancy in USA, reduced ability of young people to buy houses, increased deaths of despair, etc.

My former job of a slot machine tech would often involve setting up a slot machine. The PAR (paytable and reel) sheet had set groupings you could pick. Integrity and Compliance, local government regulators, security, management, superiors, surveillance all watching me like a hawk while I enabled it then seal the chips.

edit: just a note that for years I wasn't even allowed to see or touch a PAR sheet. Literally, not even see or touch the things. They were securely locked up.

Much of a slot machine is "random" but to a point where the house never lost. If it were truly random not pseudo random there would be no way to control what was won or maybe nobody would win at all. Organized chaos really. And most of the time the slot is a 10 or even 20 year old barely functioning piece of junk. The machine has been paid off (so to speak) so any money it makes is pure profit.

Generally we don't monitor activity, we just filter it. As I say "I'm an engineer, not the HR department".
