> Good. Americans are usually not aware of the extent of american cultural imperialism

Cultural exports and cultural homogenisation isn't imperialism. There is nothing in common between this, and when a country actually colonised another country and forced it to adopt its language (or indirectly forced it via neocolonial measures). One is voluntary adoption, the other is colonisation. So stop using concept creep in order to push a rhetorical point.

What we're seeing is largely the natural outcome of having a superpower economy, having communications technology, flight technology, free trade, etc. All this openness and integration coalesce to cause smaller countries to want to voluntarily adopt the status symbols, norms and entertainment of bigger countries that are culturally adjacent to them already.

Your argument structure is basically "this thing is really bad because I'm going to label it as really bad via concept creep, therefore it's good when far-right authoritarian measure X is implemented, even though X won't work at stopping really bad thing and much more extreme measures will be needed".

The difference may be the efficiency of the photosynthetic process and the efficiency of the plant itself. Like how a motor may be X% efficient, but the car it's driving on the road is far less efficient.
It sounds like you don't have first hand experience living a European life (and I don't mean just living in Europe, it's all too easy to get sucked into a bubble).

While homogenization is at work, the cultural divide is blatant to the point of being highly visible here.

Having a foot in both worlds, I don't see it. If anything national cultures are giving way to European culture (which does have some inherited traits from the US) more than anything else.
And do you think it did so well in those tests because it has information about them or because it is intelligent?
The key point isn't if a claim is accepted or denied (the people getting the letters almost certainly have standing to be accepted), it's if there is money to pay the claims, and how soon they can get it. Having an unsecured claim isn't "Show up on Monday and the FDIC will hand you a bag of cash", it's "The bankruptcy court and trustees expect the final settlement to be in 3-5 years, with a haircut of 10-30%".

Have you calculated the savings each month in your electric bill and compared that to the cost of a loan for the solar? Maybe this is a bad time because of interest rates but my sister has a two story house in NY with solar and is saving between $100 and $150 a month.

Thinking and doing gets you nowhere. What works is talking.
I get your point, but just to put it into perspective, you could theoretically use the same logic with bioweapons:

"Keeping this genetically engineered killer virus restricted to high security labs actually makes it more dangerous - it needs to be released into the wild, so people's immune systems have a chance to interact with the pathogen and develop natural immunity!"

Covid gave a taste how that kind of attitude would work out in practice.

The schema:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
id BLOB PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
username TEXT NOT NULL
);

The data:

let user = User {
id: uuid::Uuid::new_v4(),
created_at: chrono::Utc::now(),
username: String::from("Hello"),
};

If you can't insert 15,000 of these records per second then there's something wrong with your database. I'm aware that people are all on the SQLite hype train, but this kind of stuff is table-stakes.

I really like SQLite. But this blog isn't any kind of great performance indicator for it.

Extending reserves may help on short term but won’t create more oil on earth.

A better medium/long term strategy seems to reduce oil energy usage or speed up transition on other energy sources and usages. This will also have the strategic advantage of keep on the technological race.

My naïve view would be to priorise the reduce way over transition one because other techs also needs material extracted from earth, refined, transformed, move sub-continent… and that also need a lot of energy. I’m not an expert and would love to be proven wrong, and see a fast enough global transition.

Income tax and sales tax are both regressive taxes. In other words, they both promote inequality by favoring the capitalist class.
Generally, Yes, it's very efficient. Because you're not generating heat energy, you're moving pre-existing heat energy from one place to another.

But whether it's an economical task all depends on the cost of electricity to run that pump.

I also think so. Rather than move hydrogen, move the electricity or the iron. Produce hydrogen on site and even on demand to get rid of most of the need to store/transport it.

Maybe, but the percent of US population that is 80+ has grown quite a bit. For example, between 1950 and 2020 the percent of those 80-84 more than doubled. In the same period those 85+ went up five-fold (source: https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/2015/10/09/t2_age_...). IMO this is the result of modern medicine extending lives well beyond where they would have gone before. Based on my parent’s experience, once you’re kept alive by machines and medicine, your quality of life sucks.

That would require remembering his name. :-)

I was friends with F and most of their employees, but F and the employees were in the Los Angeles area. X was in Silicon Valley so I never had occasion to run into X when I'd visit their workplace. When F and I talked about his work we talked about engineering matters, so X didn't come up.

So to me X was just F's remote business partner who I only heard mentioned a few times.
Not sure where to start

Its mostly about the master feeder structure, other times about a sandwich, learn about those

You have a feeder for domestic tax persons, and a feeder for non-domestic tax persons and domestic tax exempt persons

Its usually dumb and pointless to have non-domestic tax persons to use your domestic feeder, because the regulations are poorly thought out and counterproductive and actually serve no purpose.

all feeders are partnerships or limited by shares, and send capital to the master entity which does the trading

the difficulty is that comparison is not just about the US or insulting any one country, many old world countries have withholding done on investment-in which even US people would find absurd. or the accredited investor requirements are much lower.

The attentiveness and accessibility of the regulators is a boon.

Dunno where to start but I hope that inspired on the depth of how deep to look. Its a great financial center.
Well, we're not really that far off...
Your comment started a tangential discussion, but it's not really relevant to what I said. The fact that religion personally helps me with my death anxiety isn't changed by the flaws of religion. I know there are flaws, I know it's probably all made up, I keep a healthy distance, but again, none of this changes the fact that it helps my anxiety. Humans have been making up beliefs to help with death for a long time, and I'm consciously choosing to do like them.

From what vantage point are you speaking?

I’ve been online for 17 years and so I’ve been very aware of the trend of “wokeism” and other things like that. I also live in the country known as Europe. Yet in “real life” I have never, ever encountered a woke, virtue-signalling stereotype. The closest I came was some other guy’s experience that he relayed to me.

And that goes for other American (or not) things that also are “online”: those things might be something that I can read about every day while online, but I might never hear it come up in “real life”.

> The media is generally importing american anxieties and US domestic issues are even adopted as local

Aside from some fringe people who are immediately made fun of by us normal baguette-eaters, no.

In fact this is absurd on its face: high speed internet (thanks America?) made it clear to all of us too-online citizens of the country of Europe that Americans have concerns and opinions that are completely alien to us:

- Trigger-happy police

- Dying because lack of health insurance

- Circumcision

- Individualism of the type “I’m against taxes because it’s involuntary; people should give out of their own free will”, and yet also when they are facing hardships themselves: “I’m not gonna accept no charity!” (…makes sense)

- Opinions on abortion

- Etc.

And people argue a lot about that. (In my experience English message boards are often split 50% between the US and 50% the rest of the world, so there are a fair few Europeans to argue with). That’s what happens 95% of the time; the other 5% is your version: “Oh wow, those things are so cool; I’m gonna adopt and argue for them here in the country of Europe.”

Unless you're using what I would consider a pretty idiosyncratic definition of "real" then I'd say LLM's are "real AI". Less than perfect AI, sure. Less than "human level" in some areas, sure. But then again, human intelligence isn't exactly perfect either.

I would argue that intelligence is nothing more than the ability to display behavior that would be considered intelligent in context. In that regard, we've had "artificial intelligence" for decades, and it's simply slowly improving in terms of its capabilities and fidelity with "actual human" intelligence over time.

Now if by "real AI" you mean "AI like in the sci-fi movies, AI that is fully equal to humans in every regard and probably exceeds humans in some regards"... then clearly we're not there yet but I still see no reason in principle to think that it won't happen in time. That is, is there any particular reason to think that LLM's are the last advancement in AI that will ever take place?
I'm covering the cost right now. I believe it would be low enough that we can make this work for everyone through community donations. But we'll see! :)

I learned about Open Addressing a long time ago when I was optimizing Dnsmasq. The scenario involved looking up a very large list of domain names to block or combine with ipset in order to customize routing based on domain names. Open addressing worked very well on these large immutable lists.

I'm really just speculating here.

Because the text we write is not evenly distributed random noise, what we encode into it (by writing) is entropy.

Because LLMs model text with inference, they model all of the entropy that is present.

That would mean that the resulting size would be a measure of entropy (sum of patterns) divided by repetition (recurring patterns). In this count, I would consider each unique token alone an instance of the identity pattern.

So to answer both questions: yes.
My bad, I should have said I picked up my wife’s phone who is on tik tok a lot, for years now.

I'm reading the comments above and see the reminder to not be snarky. I'm not trying to be snarky with the following question.

I can understand their financial regulations make more sense.

But, they aren't contributing to the roads that US hedge fund operators drive on, right? Or, the airports out of which they fly?

If I go further with your statement that their financial regulations make sense, should I interpret that as "US does taxation wrong" (or, it is incompetent with second order effects, etc)?

But, even if the US taxation is wrong or not optimal, how do things like roads and airports get funded in the country in which the person resides?

Is this completely wrongheaded? I don't understand how a citizen of one state can opt out of the taxation structure while still reaping the benefits of living there?

Is this perspective incorrect?

Thank you! I lack background in music theory, and as such, I find that analysis to be so objective and conclusive that it raises questions for me about whether this is "true" in a broader sense.

"A subdominant function is a chord that adds tension, demanding to be resolved"

I find this a strong statement that's hard to question or refute, or know how one would show that it's somehow anything more than a general feeling that might be shared by lots of people?

> but let's also not pretend that the roughly equivalent concept is some kind of bloodless bureaucratic idea of 'nationality'.

An apt choice of words, given that almost all European countries practice jus sanguinis - literally "right of the blood". In contrast to how citizenship works in most of North and South America, people who are born in European countries do not automatically get citizenship (nationality) of the country of birth. Instead, citizenship is inherited.

This system became popular in many European countries in part because it provided a way to avoid automatically granting citizenship to immigrants from the now-former colonies, instead creating an extra barrier.
There probably should be data on this from Fitbit or something, no? Obviously biasd from the type of person who has a Fitbit but maybe Google or apple has less biased surveillance data...
Agreed. That was how I've seen it run well. eg we'd create 2 channels for the incident - the first was for the technical team trying to fix it and would have quite a bit of noise as debugging went on. The second was for more senior managers and the client/account people to coordinate comms with customers. The only manager in the first group was the teams direct technical manager or their eg Tech Lead type of role. Their job was to not work on the fix but to communicate what they were observing to the 2nd group who would deal with the customers.

Smaller companies though are a bit less structured, and have to wing it a bit more depending on circumstances.
I just tried logging in and found that it hangs indefinitely. This seems to be because shhhbb.com has a AAAA record that the BBS isn't listening on:

> debug1: Connecting to shhhbb.com [2a01:4ff:1f0:8a78::] port 2223

If I connect with `ssh 5.78.86.154 -p 2223` instead I get in fine.

Maybe either have the server listen on v6 / adjust the packet filter or stop shhhbb.com resolving its AAAA address, which is currently taking priority for me.
this looks amazing, thank you
Well I'm calling bullshit on neoliberal free-trade ideology based on voodoo economics which just looks at simple measurable factors like "cost of labor" completely ignoring social cost (local unemployment, mass migration, social tensions, etc.) and ecological cost (pollution, climate crisis, etc.) which were commonly socialized (tax money) in case of a concrete crisis. Not a personal attack, sorry if it sounded like that.
Definitely interesting. I'd love to do everything my way, however shitty it is. But it's MINE! Plus if you ever scroll back to 1991 and take a look of the first version of any Linux command line program I bet it's not pretty.
uh, don't want to sound like an ass but why build an entire platform from ground zero?

why not reuse something like peertube and make an instance on it. You could then divert your attention into making it pay-for-play (ha ha) or whatever you like and you get the benefit of the entire peertube community.

I know the feeling of doing everything from scratch but why waste resources when you can use them elsewhere?

That said, if you have already invested a lot of time/energy/money into the project, good luck to you.

Look at Agpl license. It is a pretty nice.

>The only things that are currently blocking me are the fear that a competitor might use our technology without respecting licensing, and that bad actors use a zero-day breach to access customer data.

if these are your only concerns then how about SSPL? no for profit company will touch your codebase because it is extremly viral meaning if they use your software, they would have to open source EVERYTHING ELSE ALSO.

If you don't want to go that far, Agpl is pretty nice as i said. Companies like google dont even allow it in their internal use because they would have to open source any changes.

Here is the thing, why do you want to open source the codebase? There is a slight but important difference between "Free software" and "open source" software so you should look that one up too to take pointers.
The clones in many ways are better engineering.

Any engineer can build a bridge. Only a good engineer can build a bridge that meets all the user requirements, while not massively overengineering the structure (and hence the budget).

They typically cut just the right corners to make a still functional product at a vastly reduced price.

And for that, the clone-makers are, IMO, contributing to the ecosystem. The original product could adjust their design to get the same savings, and either pass the savings onto the customers, or take the extra as profit.

The point is that their "isomorphic" graphics library generalizes over only the typical capabilities of early 1980s 8-bit systems with sprites etc. X11, Wayland etc have a thousand times as much capability.

Their solution is possibly an elegant solution to their problem space, without the ability to generalize much further than that. As far as I can see from the material.

In the link I gave, the names of the library functions, and shortness of that list, suggests that all by itself.
