The "left" as practiced in SF fails to get anything done and lets things fester and worsen through neglect.

But... the evangelical/nationalistic right, on the other hand, comes out and says exactly all the things they want. Less healthcare, less regulation of the powerful, more cops for the less well-off, more weapons, less sexuality that they don't like, etc. "Fixing mental health" isn't in that list. "Building more housing" isn't even on that list. There are a LOT of people with good reason to be scared of those moves.

Tell me which of these I should think is more feasible:

1) Working with democrats to add some practicality to how to get to the desired outcomes I support?

2) Trying to convince the right that they should change almost all of their goals?
I play a variant of this: how long until a stranger asks me "what do you do?"

Over the last decade or so, I've found that I'm asked this question far lass than I used to be. I don't know if the times have changed, or if it's that I'm older and so generally am meeting older people now.

Either way, I welcome this change.

You can begin asking it questions.

Upon asking a question, the question itself is sent to Open Ai for embedding, gets a response, compares against the embedding you stored locally, uses a function called cosine similarity to get the nearest distance of the embeddings (most relevant docs).

Then you link these sources together and send to openai again with the question now in text, to get a reply for your question based on the context.

As I see these things come out, it feels like there's not a lot of discussion on which hardware (that isn't one of the fancy new Macs?) As in, there might be a lot of graphics cards out there that could be used here? Is it only Nvidia still, is AMD a possibility? Maybe I'm missing something on how the tech works?

My dude, did you just compare your behavior in this thread to Socrates?
There are a lot of people on the left who have never ever liked conservatives or republicans but who are extremely frustrated at what the left is doing. They seem to be failing on a lot of things, and conservatives seem to be succeeding, but whenever we criticize the left or suggest something other than what the current thing is in progressive circles, we’re called fascists.

More importantly though, it kinda sucks you focused on the tribal aspect of the comment because it was full of other things to engage with.
I'm sorry if you took my comment as vitriol, it's not meant to be that, it was a light-hearted joke.

The proposal was very disappointing to me, and it has been on top of my mind when I browsed HN this morning, so when I saw a cool project that -- if some of the sections of the proposal go through -- would violate Rust's Trademark Policy, I thought it'd be acceptable to bring that up (and still think that).

I believe raising awareness to issues with the proposal is productive, and hopefully at least some people here on HN decided to leave feedback in the Rust Foundation's form, so that as little of the non-sensical paragraphs stay in the final document as possible.
Please allow me to clarify. First, it is not clear that wearing masks had much if any of an effect on reducing deaths during the pandemic. The science is not definitive. Isolation was probably a much stronger factor; but again, not necessarily causative.

With respect to how the drug epidemic and the pandemic are compared: my point was that a majority of people were compelled to comply in the case of the pandemic for the greater good, so it is not unreasonable to compel a small minority of people to comply for the greater good. In both cases, those who are compelled to comply are theoretically receiving advice and services that are for their own good according to science and common sense.

I also recognize that “homelessness” is a catch-all phrase that is abused, and that roughly half of the homeless are not suffering from mental illness or drug addiction. So the solutions to these problems are distinct.

My only appeal to those reading this is to consider the big picture and to consider solutions that are best for all of society. This is a democratic approach.
Checkout LoRA and Alpaca LoRA and the whole huge group of people who have already figured this out. I think there was another breakthrough (yesterday?) which is a further adaption of LoRA to touch even less parameters at runtime.
Your fallacy there is letting perfect be the enemy of good.

E-bikes and e-scooters are sufficient to transport a sizable percentage of the working population in less time that it would take a typical car, and the benefit is that every journey that they don't make in a car reduces congestion for everybody else as well as substantially less pollution.

I would consider that the main failing of the personal motor car is that people try to use it for everything and design roads/cities around it. However, that doesn't work when the population density increases as more and more roads need to be built which then separates the businesses and houses even more which then requires yet more roads. Rinse and repeat until you have people sat in traffic queues just in an attempt to commute to work.

Is there something about Deno that makes Edge functions good to be based on it - Netlify also has its Edge functions in Deno https://docs.netlify.com/edge-functions/overview/ maybe just coincidence, but seen two edge functions in Deno implementations in the last hour so makes me wonder.
In my experience, yeah. My friends who are pushing 50 and worked a life in construction (physical labor, not managers or working in a office) have really annoying pains in one place or another. I agree that they're generally friendly and perhaps happier, as their job doesn't seem to bleed into their life as much as for my friends who works in offices, but I'm pretty sure their bodies have taken a lot more pain over the years and it's coming back to haunt them as they grow older.
Just a few days back, I was downvoted for guessing that this would be their "algorithmic recommendation" moment, because I was seemingly assuming malice about the developers' intentions.

Uh, no, I was observing how every other "social media" company has done this, and was guessing that Substack, having already told its users to write more frequently, would jump in with both feet.
> though they do pay good money.

When my wife was looking for a VP level position at a tech company last year, Google's interview process was by far the most cumbersome and their offer was the lowest she got by a sizeable amount. When she mentioned this to them, they said she could begin the process all over again to see if she could maybe get more. She thanked them for their time and then accepted one of the reasonable offers she got.
I think it's a life well lived if you have the personality for it. I know a lot of people agonizing over "making a difference" or the "meaning of life". At times I feel vaguely guilty for not feeling those feelings or having those thoughts but then I get distracted by the next interesting endeavour.

But right now what incentive have I to buy a new laptop? I got this 16GB M1 MBA two years ago and it's literally everything I need, always feels fast, silent etc

1. the idea would be that now there is a reason to buy loads more RAM, whereas currently the market for 64GB is pretty niche

2. 64GB is a big laptop today, in a few years time that will be small. And LLaMA 65B int4 quantized should fit comfortably

4. LLMs will be a commodity. There will be a free one

6. LLMs seem to avoid the need for finetuning by virtue of their size - what we see now with the largest models is you just do prompt engineering. Making use of personal data is a case of Langchain + vectorstores (or however the future of that approach pans out)
In most cases where users are uploading images, you probably want to get the biggest possible version you can get for more future flexibility. It's always possible to make a larger image smaller, but making a small image look good bigger in the future isn't possible as that extra detail would be lost.
The problem with in-person experiences is other people. If we could solve that problem, the experience would be greatly improved. :)

> Maybe if you are 18 you can stop working on a Friday in country A, travel with a suitcase over the weekend and start working on Monday in country B, but as you get older, the number of people and stuff attached to you just grows...

Hum... If you are on the middle of your life, with all of the responsibilities of the world, this becomes more important, not less.

Get your suitcase and move there, then slowly detach your responsibilities from your previous city. Doing it beforehand just adds a lot of time when everything will break.

Yes, it's hard. The other way around is hard too, and way more risky.
It is interesting that you apply Occam’s razor now, but not when the question is whether we need IQ at all in our models. In a different post when asked about the utility of IQ you answered:

> In general, the goal is to quantify an individual's mental potential

But IQ researchers have been trying to do that for over half a century, and so far have yielded pretty limited results, especially compared to models from other fields such as cognitive psychology or neuropsychology, neither of which use IQ in their models. The principle of parsimony states that: “Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity”. In modern psychology IQ is a useless entity.

However now you are talking about pedagogy or developmental psychology where IQ and other models of intelligence is still being used (though it is getting more and more fringe). Over there nobody cares about the heritability of IQ, only whether or not they predict certain learning disabilities and (and this is old school) which traits of intelligence predicts which learning outcomes (though I would argue behavioral psychologists that don’t use IQ nor intelligence have better luck with their models). Again, if you insist on Occam’s razor, and believe (IMO wrongly) that IQ is the preferred method then heritability should be left out of the model.

Now there is one more thing I’d like to address:

> I’d love to see such a selective demand for rigor applied to, say, studies that suggest secondary education makes a difference in outcomes.

I encourage you to read a study in developmental psychology or pedagogy. I assure you there is plenty of rigor applied. You won’t find any models that include heritability, because, like I said, scientists in the field don’t need that, so they skip it for the sake of simplicity. But what you’ll find are double blind studies, AB tests, descriptions of metrics to assess quality, descriptions of methods to assess disability, plenty of scrutiny over these methods, experiments that valuate these methods, theories which take into account seemingly successful methods, scrutiny of theories with nuanced evidence, scrutiny of methods with nuanced evidence, meta-analyses where theories are ripped apart, meta-analyses where the same theories are supported. Entering “Secondary education efficacy” actually yields over 5 million hits on Google Scholar. I call that a fairly well studied question.

> I myself have to admit I've always been rather fascinated by Foucault, and I think a lot of what he has to say is rather interesting and of contemporary relevance–especially his viewpoint that sexual orientation is a set of contingent cultural constructs, rather than some essential reality of persons

Personally, I find it extremely troubling to take sexual philosophy from someone who advocated for 12 year olds to be considered "of age" to have sex with anyone, and himself molested prepubescent children in Tunisia.
Saving the Horses of Our Imagination
It was very dishonest and ignorant of them, I will remember them for that! And spread how they f around people.

Apparently my strategy of not to handing in notice before a contract is discussed and executed (signed) is not a bad move. I make this clear normally when I start discussing details of employment. I usually tell "I can start x weeks after my contract is signed", where x is the noice period in the previous place. It is not a guarantee as one can be sent away still after (or even before) start, but gives a clearer picture for both parties on each other's current intent.
This is interesting because I’ve seen a queue that was implemented in Postgres that had performance problems before: the job which wrote new work to the queue table would have DB contention with the queue marking the rows as processed. I wonder if they have the same problem but the scale is such that it doesn’t matter or if they’re marking the rows as processed in a way that doesn’t interfere with rows being added.

By denying course transfers Universities benefit. Students are forced to enroll for additional quarters. The university could make tens of thousands of dollars per student on a few course transfer denials.

This comes at an enormous time and money cost to the student.

A good alternative would be to test proficiency for that class. But that’s additional work a University has little desire to do, beyond allowing for testing out of precalculus.
> The same take applies to individuals too, which basically nullifies your argument.

This in no way nullifies my argument.

Hospitality and healthcare occupations are doing badly in much of the Western World. Construction is highly seasonal, and arguably much of it is currently driven by an investment bubble rather than organic demand which could pop, ending in a long winter. Skilled trades, maybe, but you need a healthy job market so that people can afford these.

While these occupations are safe from AI, for time being, they're not safe per se.
Twitter was supposed to be the "public square", even Elon said as much. Restricting which goods and services are sold or marketed in said square is a shift away from that mentality.

This. Even big multinational corporations can change the contract to your liking, but that involves sending it to their legal team and waiting.

Last time I requested a change in the contract it took them almost one month to approve.

So if they need to hire someone asap, then it may not work, but on the other hand that is a red flag.

It's of course easier in smaller companies, where there is not many people in the chain that need to look over the paperwork.

I think many people fear that if they start "making problems" they won't get hired, because next candidate may not be too fussy. But I think that is a wrong way to look at it. If you don't stand for yourself, you are unlikely going to stand for other things, seemingly less important and employer may see this as a bad trait. Like imagine a task is being proposed and from your own experience you know it is not going to work, but everyone agrees it should be done. You could keep quiet and hope you'll not be the one to do it or you can start "making problems". Which worker would be more preferred?
Naively, and with general interest public forum curiousity, these tiling problems seem to be about iterating the proportions of the sides of the tiles to get symmetrical shapes, but given each tile is also necessarily a hamiltonian circuit between the angles/nodes of a shape and the tiles are aperiodic, the implied visual symmetry of the shapes doesn't seem meaningful.

It seems like there would be infinite possible aperiodic tiles (with real valued side lengths), so long as the number of angles (or nodes/vertices) for a whole tile (like a triangle) has the same evenness or oddness as the number of vertices extending from the node as the number of sides of the shape it is a part of.

So to completely tile a plane aperiodically, each node/angle of a triangle must have an odd number of "sides" from its adjacent tiles stemming from it to completely tile a plane, where each angle of a hexagon must be a node with an even number of sides connecting at its vertices. Once you are more than one "hop" away from another tile, you can have even or odd numbers of verticies.

The perimeter of any plane with a complete aperiodic tiling must still be a hamiltonian path around its edge, therefore the graph of the verticies representing the angles the aperiodic tiles must also reduce to being made of other "shapes" with hamiltonian paths. It implies to me that for every tile that is odd-sided, it requires a complementary odd-sided shape somewhere in the tiling to form a hamilonian path of "hops."

It's not a sufficient condition, but naively it looks like a necessary one. No math will get done here, but from a general interest reasoning perspective, I'd wonder if tiles and hamiltonian cycles are the same thing.

100% this. Never hand in your notice until you have a contract in your hand. No contract means you’re relying on hopium.
For me, it's just an empty login form, and I'm not going to register an account just to see what's there.

I'm sympathetic to the idea of paying for content directly (I spend over $100/mo on Patreon), but I feel like Substack has cultivated a nasty branding issue for themselves. To me, and I know I'm not alone, Substack is where you go when you want to hear some 17-year-old who got high for the first time tell you what THE MANNNN doesn't want you to know, duuude. Greenwald and Taibbi and the like. I guess there's probably other types of content on there, but that's all I ever see from the domain.

Anyway I'm not going to register an account to see whatever's going on with Notes. Good luck, guys.
At my company, there is no 2 weeks. The day you give your two weeks notice is your last day.
