> yet instead you have people fighting over the stupidest things in the bible just to be “right”, creating tons of denominations that make no sense at all.

Isn't that what we want? People laying our their reasoning and their ideology on paper, and leaving a parent group whose actions they can't condone? This is the calling them out. Compare and contrast to ideologies and areas where people who published these opinions would be killed for their heresy.

No doubt many/most of the sects are stupider than what they broke away from, but sometimes, critically, they are vastly superior. I'm not religious but for example I can recognize the value of Martin Luther's reformation.
That's still open sourced.
> The largest generation, boomers, are now retiring.

Aren't the majority of Boomers already retired?

The usual definition of Boomers is those born in [1946, 1964]. That's people currently 59-77 years old.

Some people do now divide Boomers into two groups, Boomers born in [1946, 1954] and Boomers II born in [1955, 1964], so Boomers II are now just moving into retirement.
The interesting thing about the 12 steps is that, really, they're what many, many people do anyways.

Basically, they can be summed up as "take responsibility, get help when you need it, and help others when you can." This is what most emotionally mature adults do anyways.

Unfortunately, the disease of alcoholism can lead people quite far from this type of otherwise normal behavior. (And not just for the drinkers!)

I wish there was far more education in North America about alcoholism, especially for teenagers and pre-teens. Considering the epidimic level of damage being inflicted by the disease, I don't think it would be unreasonable to have required classes in middle school or high school on the topic.
Its the rule supposedly came up with by Adam Savage - buy cheap tools, use em til you break em, then replace the ones you break with expensive, good tools.

The idea of that rule is so new makers can work out what tools they actually are using, so they don't waste a shitload of money.

In practice? Some tools are just worth spending the money on upfront, inferior tools will often lead to frustration and failure early on.

The problem is people think Adams rule just applies everywhere, because he is famous etc.

I actually have a draft blog post on this exact topic that I'm not finished, with examples from my own experiences.
Which society?

I mean OpanAI is a US company is unsurprisingly going to mostly communicate in English.

Are we counting all societies, if so should our software cater to all their demands, language and/or culturally demanded?
Performance is much more than FPS in <insert currently hyped AAA game>
If you think about this from a "language is computation" perspective, it starts to get even more interesting.

For example, what would the real-world performance of ChatGPT be if we had trained it predominantly on German or Korean text?

Is English actually the best language/structure for this system?
No inflation required. People buy things from whoever owns the production, and the producers pay high taxes to fund the UBI. No net money creation required.
There are larger predators like lions featured heavily in cave paintings and other forms of the earliest human art for a reason. We have never hunted predators like bears and big cats as a primary food source, but a willingness to defend humans and our food with hand weapons is actually a skillset actively practiced until very recently in societies like the Maasai. The Human Planet docuseries has a pretty incredible scene where hunter gatherers coordinate to steal a kill from an entire pride of lions. It makes you see why people on the other side of the world in highly industrialized societies would find it to be an adrenaline rush to hunt the biggest, baddest looking animal they can find (not that I do this personally).

You're completely right that the desire to hunt a tiger isn't really logical or necessary, I'm just pointing out that it is not psychologically aberrant that some people (mostly men) would find it satisfying to do things like that as a thrill-seeking activity.
it is dispiriting and disempowering,” he says. “There's no one there to communicate with at all.”
Yes I believe that and I will actively work toward a future that does not contain (most) autonomous vehicles.

Pick any date in the future and I will wager that my 16yo son can more intelligently navigate a tricky driving scenario and deal more effectively with tough edge cases.

In addition to our human superiority at driving we also owe it to each other to enter these driving transactions with literal skin in the game. I need to know that your driving strategies are backed up with "... or else I will be dead".

The solution to our societal woes is not the further over-production of personal autos and autonomous driving - it is the investment in real mass transit (the kind that runs on rails).
Feels like a trivial message ("yeah you need a regular job to raise a family unless you have FU money") packaged as a grand experiment. On the flip side, single folks or those without kids have been retiring for a long time (without calling it FIRE)
I would not call Duolingo a language learning application. It behaves more like language mimicry application. You learn a very particular subset of the language that I'd call "Duolingo <insert lang>". This is my conclusion after using it for two non-English languages.

You seriously need a basic beginner book if starting from fresh, and use Duolingo just as a repetition tool when you can during the day
One of the criteria of the most often used definition of open source [0] is that the program is free to use and modify for all purposes. So a noncommercial license would not qualify as open source. This is also a requirement of the free software definition of the FSF, which is also often used to define free/open source.

I'm pretty sure Penrose won't accept his own theory if it's only nonfalsifiable. At the moment, it's only an idea but if it is unprovable he'll abandon it or be very clear about its non-scientific status.

He's not a second Josephson.
Yeah I was think yesterday maybe we can start translating dolphin language.

Maybe you're not responsible, but if someone says "something changed in the OS and your previous method is now adding substantial overhead", you could either a) report the change to the OS and mitigate or b) report the change to the OS and ignore the problem for years. It sounds like Mozilla chose b, for whatever reason.

As a software developer, I've had to workaround many many bugs in OSs, especially when dealing with updates to Android. It's just part of the job.
Yes. I had a Dodge Charger where the parasitic draw wouldn't really become problematic until 3 days after you re-attached the battery. At which point it would be so bad it would discharge from full to empty overnight. It could even out-draw a trickle charger.

I took it to several mechanics who couldn't find anything - because they'd unplug the battery to add a meter into the circuit. They weren't willing to wait 3 days afterwards to come back to it.

I ended up disconnecting the battery overnight. Worked fine then. Traded it in; I feel a bit bad for the next buyer.

Not all 100k books mentioned.

But there’s nuance here. Keeping every single printing of Shakespeare’s plays in the ILL system has minimal value. Similarly the point of local libraries isn’t to archive all knowledge some stuff is going to be trashed.
I wasn't trying to be hyperbolic, I've only been delayed by a side show once in my neighborhood by the Chase center -- I've never been blocked by a self driving car. I'm sure everyone has different experiences, but the characterization the article tries to make that these vehicles are a menace to society strike me as overblown and contradictory to many people's lived experiences here. At least these folks are paying money to treat the city like a playground. I haven't seen anyone get love tapped by one of the self-driving cars, but if that's happening regularly it seems like a pretty serious problem.
The electrolyte is very flammable and a short circuit provides the temperature to ignite it. Some lithium battery chemistries (LFP is probably the most common, but LTO as well) are much less likely to burn when they fail catastrophically.
Super curious, would fine tuning with LoRa on a LLaMa/Alpaca model work better?
You think that is bad, every doctors office I have ever dealt with over the phone has just asked for my name, and birthdate. Think of all the friends on social media I can impersonate!

> did they really use an argument that flew in the face of the abundant evidence of IQ increases unlinked to genetics as a result of better nutrition and education?

Yes they did, and they did a lot worse than that. And that is the reason why the scientific community was very fast to discredit this book. The science in it were bad, to say the least. It wasn’t even peer reviewed. I think the decline in IQ research is in large part thanks to the pushback this book rightfully got.

It is actually nice that this books is raised here, because the journal this study was published in Intelligence has its ties to true believers of The Bell Curve. Richard J. Haier is the editor in chief signed an editorial defending this book back in 1994. And the board included disgraced eugenicist Richard Lynn (whos discredited pseudo-scientific work cited throughout the book) was on the editorial board until 2018.
> about city planning. They have a lot of content, but a theme is tax revenue per square foot

Sounds more like SimCity metric than what a real life city should care about.
The pressure is higher in A/C and heat pumps, and you have liquid propane in half of the system. A leak there will quickly create a huge volume of flammable propane-air-mixture at room pressure. The usual plumbing for heating and cooking is at a very low (over-)pressure, 100mbar or something, and your distribution network in town is typically at 1bar. A leak there is less bad and will take some time to fill up space with enough flammable propane-air-mixture to be dangerous, enough time to maybe sound an alarm and evacuate. Generally, a basement full will obliterate the occasional building in any case.
I did that for the exact same problem on the same model car earlier this year, but gave up after trying a few places that all said the same thing (including the dealer). Glad to see this post though… now I know I’m not the crazy one.
My wife drives about once a week, probably less on average. She has a 2013 Honda CR-V, only 15,000 miles on it. We live in Minnesota, so have cold temps, but the car in a garage. The car always starts. We've replaced the battery once just due to longevity.

Every 3 days? No way.

Sounds like you are arguing that seatbelts do not increase the safety of its users when it is used on private property.

I know it’s not your main point. But anyways.. it does not increase the rhetorical power of your comment.
I'm not talking about measuring the terminal voltage of the battery. What I mean is using the ground lead as a current shunt by connecting one meter lead to the negative battery terminal and the other to where the ground lead connects to the vehicle chassis. The voltage measured across that shunt is proportional to the amount of current being drawn from the battery.

It's the same principle as measuring the voltage across a fuse, except it ends up measuring the draw for the whole car, not just one circuit.
Context: Most plants pull nitrogen from the soil, and over time the soil becomes depleted and your crops grow more slowly. Bacteria in legumes convert atmospheric nitrogen to plant-usable forms, so historically you've needed to cycle nitrogen-"fixing" crops into your fields to 'restore' the nitrogen balance in the soil. Alternatively, you can use fertilizers, which supply N directly.

This is potentially interesting because the corn acts as its own fertilizer, fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere.
Very cool. Literate programming is always an interesting exercise. In my undergrad I developed a little Julia macro library for turning my code with LaTeX encoded comments into a LaTeX document with code blocks, since the relevant source code needed to be explained as a central part of my thesis.

P.S., nice profile. Just finished reading the Landstreicher translation of The Unique and Its Property last night.
Pulling fuses is a pretty reliable way to find the relevant fuse in the first place. If the battery doesn't run down while a particular group of fuses is pulled, the one you want to pull is in that group. Start with half the fuses, then narrow down.

You might have to reprogram your radio channels...

This does have a minor drawback on the service provider side as allowing people to sign up for a service with direct debit is hard to get right, so many services prefer to offer credit card payment even if it is more expensive. There is no way for you to verify that a person signing up is actually the account holder save for doing the "we debited 1c on your account" thing, which takes a few days.

You seem to be missing my point. The point was not about which languages are mainstream (which is highly subjective, hard to measure and also may be an effect of certain politics), but about their level of abstraction. Rust is often placed in the "low level, close to the hardware" bin because it can go low-level very far if you wish to. But it is often forgotten that it can be also very high in terms of expressiveness / abstraction power and offers productivity features not found in many mainstream languages.
Yes, but this uses SQLite as a database right?
This is laudable, and you sound like someone who is both competent and works with competent people. In those cases they should not be micromanaged because it will stunt their growth and result in worse outcomes because of the greater knowledge the IC will have for the task at hand than the person not doing the task.

But those preconditions of competence are not always in plentiful supply.

Some team members must be empowered, be given a target to go after, be given a domain of responsibility, and then let loose, with little interference except to assist in politicking or obtaining organizational resources.

There are others, however, where this will be disastrous. Frequent errors, stopping progress without raising a flag, inability to adjust course and learn, inability to be resourceful, lack of agency, inability to map objectives to tasks required. Experienced managers have all had this kind of team member, and recognize after many attempts that "be a better leader" often doesn't fix it.

The easy answer is to say, "well, simply don't hire this latter group of people, or PIP them if you do." But they exist, and they will wind up working somewhere, even if perhaps they are not working at a large, extremely well-paying tech company that typically will have plenty of applicants for their RSU-laden opportunities.

So, yes, those classic leadership qualities are great when the team member will thrive with them. In those cases the leader must provide the target, the support, and 'get out of the way.' But it is the rather ugly reality that this is not always the case. And in those, the leader must adapt their approach.
Unfortunately, there are many things it could be.

Doctors are only so helpful (and most are even less so)

Here's a list of things I tried that sorta helped with my tiredness spells. Recommend doing any of these changes separately:

- Sugar fast for 4 weeks (helps reset your cravings)

- Switched from coffee to green tea

- Reduced caffeine intake to one a day or 3x a week

- Acupuncture

- 15 min walks or bike ride every day

- Omega 3 oils

- Higher intake of minerals I was deficient in (eating more green vegetables)

(spoiler alert, I had undiagnosed ADHD which contributed to my high anxiety, which gave me waves of alert/exhausted)
At least! When my engine finally needed a rebuild, so did the transmission, steering box, CV joints, and center differential. And you're right, it needed new bushings, shocks, springs, and balljoints.

If a subject took psilocybin in between focused repetitions, do you think they would be effectively spaced?

Here you have F, G, A, B(flat), C , D, & E. The full alphabet in the key of F.

Each pattern actually goes up the entire neck but for teaching it looks like this site emphasizes the notes that are more common between these different modes.

You could look at it like a guideline to help you hit the right notes during improvisation or composition.

Alternatively it could be just as useful to avoid hitting the wrong notes.

Instead of having targets for the fingers, you could just as logically have patterns of notes to avoid.

Either way when you go up the entire neck you're covering a lot more ground.

One objective might be to develop the ear simultaneously with the conventional modes, so that eventually just hearing the key the tune is played in will instinctlively lead your hand to a favorable position to begin with, making it easier to go from there into whatever modes might be appropriate.
I remember reading a William Burroughs interview where he talked about getting over nasty addictions by just writing "I will not smoke a cigarette" on a piece of paper everyday. This stupid process worked incredibly well for me. Broke a bad smoking habit. Anytime I felt the urge I'd re-write the statement. I could see how the same thing could work with drinking if and when you get triggered (grilling in the backyard, restaurant, etc).
Yes, I think you're right that this is the state of the art at scale.

I wish the article went into a little more detail on the extent of technical achievement that was reached in commissioning this facility. Never mind the core process, can only imagine the scale of the fire suppression system, dust and fume management, etc. It really is impressive. They should publish a video tour.

I think that this recycling facility occupies a supply chain niche in a larger system: Dispose of old battery cells and preserve the rest of the materials as concentrated ores. The existing cells cannot be safely warehoused as cells, due to fire risk. The concentrated ores can be stored cheaply and safely and will maintain a stable or increasing indexed commodity value, proportionate to improvements in refining processes.

I just think that getting the cell cores out intact and separate from the steel casings would be a great start for the subsequent materials separation processes. Imagine if the cathode and anode foils could be further separated at the time of cell disassembly, and you would have a few material streams that would be simpler to process downstream: steel casings contaminated with powder and maybe a little aluminum and copper, cathode foils with the bulk of the cathode powders and close to zero iron, anode foils with the bulk of the anode powders and close to zero iron, and mixed powder flakes with close to zero iron.

I guess it's about where you move cost and complexity. I view the whole cell grinding as moving complexity downstream. Yes, it may end up being the right thing to do, but that will depend on future technological developments in metal refining, hydrometallurgical separation, and other techniques.
even the sex in porn is nothing that resembles reality. and if you're male, and she's being nice and fulfilling that porno fantasy, trust me she's not into it and it won't be long before sex no longer happens as often once she gets comfortable with you.
The section on how the main method will be resolved is a bit painful. I can’t see a way around it that doesn’t do nasty things for composability and/or backwards compatibility, but it does give me pause. Any situation where you have to ask “which main method in this class will be executed?” is quite bad.

Both of you are kind of misunderstanding a few things. Data used to train the tokenizer is entirely separate from data training the LLM.

The tokenizer used to train GPT-3 was old, inefficient and targeted at tokenizing English. That's pretty much all there is to it. It's possible to train a tokenizer that is more efficient and more including of other languages.

GPT-4's tokenizer is already far more efficient though still weighted to English.
> Remember, OpenAI’s tokenizer was created in an era when 125MB was considered large for a language model.

GPT-2 and GPT-3 have different vocabularies and maximum token #s, which (even if the tokenizer architecture is the same) implies a different tokenizer model. GPT-3.5 might share the GPT-3 tokenizer, but even then I’d expect GPT-4 to have its own.

But even if they are using the tokenizer from GPT-3, its not from “an era when 125MB was considered large for a language model”.
"J’aimerais..." is better translated to "I would like...", n'est-ce pas?
As a very occasional solderer, one thing I don't see written about much in beginner guides is ventilation.

With lead-based solder, I'm never sure what I should be doing, especially in a small room/workshop. Keeping windows open or having good airflow isn't always possible.

Things like: should I avoid leaning over or breathing in while leaning over something I'm soldering? Do I need to air the room afterwards? Would a small carbon fume extractor help? Anything to worry about from other chemicals in lead-free solder? Or is even lead harmless enough for someone that's not soldering ever day?
