Much like numbers, economic value is an abstraction. It was once a fact of reality that all numbers are compass-straightedge constructable from unity, and then that reality stopped suiting us, so we changed it. Abstractions are mutable like that.

The untyped, archimedean, measured-by-things-that-can-only-be-created-by-the-powerful-as-they-see-fit, notion of economic value that we use today is just one point on a landscape of alternatives, and it has been performing rather poorly lately.

Under that model, if I get something for free, we say that whoever gave it without collecting payment was irrational. But that's circular. We're essentially defining rationality as whatever behavior maximizes value for each individual and then using that definition to write-off evidence that our model is incomplete.

That's why I say that TANSTAAFL is an axiom. It defines what we mean by "rational" and "value" more that it describes anything about reality.

Frankly, what we're doing is a mess. Maybe it worked well for Caesar's war machine but it's not working very well for us. So, much like we did with the whole numbers, I think it's time for a version two.

As for what version two looks like, I think Stéphane Laborde’s Relative Theory of Money is a good next step, primarily because it doesn't fall apart in the face of population growth rates that are approaching carrying capacity. But "we should do something different" and "we should do this specific other thing" are separate conversations", which is why I was being vague.

So since I think it's time to move on from value as we know it anyway, the fact that AI might make the need for a shift more pressing doesn't bother me.
That cloth one is a total acid trip. The physics are dead on.
P3P was ahead of its time.

Interestingly, browsing to your example link with uBlock Origin blocking all javascript by default I get a page that looks like indexes to articles. Clicking on one gives me what appears to be the full article. As I can not read German, I pasted part of the text into google translate, and yes, it does appear to be the full article text.

So for at least that site, it appears that all of the 'protection' is provided by javascript, and if one does not allow the javascript to execute, one receives the article content. There also does not look to be much in the way of ads with the javascript blocked as well.

See the about section: https://github.com/GetFirefly/firefly#about-firefly

> The primary motivator for Firefly's development was the ability to compile Elixir applications that could target WebAssembly, enabling use of Elixir as a language for frontend development. It is also possible to use Firefly to target other platforms as well, by producing self-contained executables on platforms such as x86.
I don't think this is right. I've read a bunch of people who didn't like The Constitution, but they weren't making full throated arguments for just keeping the status quo. Can you point me to arguments from "the founders in 1776" for just keeping the Articles in their form at the time?
Arbitrary, yes, but almost the exact opposite of random.
I saw it - incredible to see cracks begin to emerge in the former titans of the industry. FAANG will go the way of Cisco, Motorola, et al.

That is great and all, but what folks are communicating here is quite different. Filibusters in the Senate do not require you to even show up, you can simply claim a filibuster to stop a vote from happening.

This article reads "weird", I wonder if it's written by "AI" or some content-farmer, but it basically rewrites a tweet into something longer. Also the header, "technology.org / science & technology news" is so generic and screams even more "content farm".
This whole thing is so fucking stupid.

The website should ask your browser should ask for permission to store cookies beyond the length of the session as it asks for your location / camera access.
No, it adds a huge burden. It's already eaten up a large amount of my bandwidth. If they don't repeal it I also have to get some kind of VC or other debt funding, which is by no means guaranteed. Not to mention that writing these grants is not inconsequential in terms of effort in the first place. At any point the added strain and uncertainty could force me out of business.
The big red circle on the System Settings app because I've not configured iCloud or similar begs to disagree.

Math is great, but examples like that are pretty unconvincing. The real value is in solving new problems that nobody has encountered before.

I'm not good at math, so I have no idea what I'd use it for. I'd probably get a high end tech job working with advanced stuff, and whatever I was doing there would be stuff that made no sense to someone who doesn't already know math.

It's exactly the kind of leap of faith that young people seem to be uninterested in.

People have figured out by now that they will always have a calculator 99% of the time, and probably won't need math in the remaining 1%, Google can tell you how to do niche stuff that doesn't come up a lot, and lots of the stuff you use math for also requires specialist equipment, so you'll probably just hire someone.

Perhaps if we had more of a DIY culture. But even then, I do a lot of DIY work and almost never encounter math, because I've got FreeCAD.

And even though I'm vaguely aware of they Pythagorean theorem, I doubt I'd use it to find the height of a tree, I'd draw it as a sketch and use a constraint solver, actually seeing the triangle on the screen would make it a little clearer if there was a mistake, and it's one less calculation to mess up.

Or, I'd just use the height feature on the laser measurement tool.

I do have friends who use math in real life, but I rarely see them do anything they couldn't do with an understanding of what software can do, rather than an understanding of the actual physics.

And yet everyone seems to say they are very happy to have learned it, and most of our big innovations are from people who know it.

I think the important part is how do you convey the benefit of math without saying anything people will immediately recognize as kind of an exaggeration.

Math isn't directly useful in an average person's life, it gives people the possibility of doing certain things average people don't do, and lets people understand things, that are not always obvious ahead of time why you would want to understand them.
All that may well be true, but sometimes I am just curious about the facts. For instance, when the US was invading Iraq, they encountered a sandstorm that delayed them for quite a bit in Mar 2003. The news around me at the time had red pictures of US troops stalled in the advance and unable to progress and whatnot https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9mBlygryI/

Underneath you knew the US-led Coalition was a monstrous force that was ultimately going to smash Saddam Hussein's army, but the news would report on the delays. And in some parts of the world where I was traveling through, they'd talk about how the coalition was not powerful because they were delayed so long to Baghdad or whatever. It wasn't true, they were going to win for sure.

It would just have been cool to have known the truth. Not that I would have done anything with it. But just to know would have been good.

Not to make this political, but it's sort of like on Reddit when Ron Paul was running for President. The site was full of stuff of about it's going to happen. In that case, you could just go try some other site and it was okay, but on Russia's invasion of Crimea, or on this more recent invasion, you can't really find out the truth.

You have to go find some OSINT Twitter Feed and form a picture of who is sending propaganda and who not. It's a natural result of the importance of media, but still, it would be nice just to know for the sake of knowledge.
Your local public library likely has a decent selection of movies on DVD and with inter-library loan they can probably get you just about anything you want. I’m in the midst of transitioning my Netflix DVD queue into a list on the library’s catalog and thusfar, I’ve only had one movie/TV show (Rammbock) not show up in the local library system’s catalog.

California folks, worth knowing is that most (if not all) library systems in California will give a card to anyone with a California ID, even if they don’t live in district. When I lived in Santa Monica, I had cards for Santa Monica, LA County, LA City, Orange County and Beverly Hills.

The most important part of this, in my opinion, is an easily-missable detail at the bottom: every one of these labels will come with a unique identifier to a database of broadband plans, presumably one maintained by the FCC alongside the numbers on these labels. That's huge. The FCC will be using that to look at Internet access and fairness and everything related to broadband access. It's the equivalent of the hospital billing data but for Internet. Really looking forward to what broadband access numbers in the country really look like when there's a centralized database that you're not allowed to lie on.
90% savings using optimised Whisper API and distributed computing
As a developer, I achieved 90% cost-effective transcription and translation by Optimizing OpenAI Whisper and using an innovative approach to get GPUs.

TL;DR :

1.CTranslate2 is used to optimize the OpenAI Whisper model for efficient inference with Transformer models.

2. It can be easily installed on a Q Blocks GPU instance with a simple command.

3. The optimized Whisper model can be run on a Q Blocks decentralized 3090 GPU instance.

A comparison showed that using the optimized model on Q Blocks resulted in a 12x cost reduction compared to the default model on AWS.
Odd. Because my Bose NC700s don't do that under Ventura.

With the PXE boot issue... amazon has millions of servers and they roll changes out to hardware on a 5 year cycle or versions/skus of the compute. So anything hardware wise will be detectable when your software doesn't work on the new instance type/sku/class. I've had this happen, multiple times over 10 years, and always just canary out new instance types, in fact I setup our systems to make this simple. But you can easily try it out and hand the hardware back if it doesn't work. We reported the issues every time. I believe AWS scrapped one sku due to an issue we reported. They also pulled back skus from us because another customer realized they were broken in a away that would impact everyone eventually.

When it comes to software amazon again has millions of machines, regions, availability zones. AWS is very very slow and deliberate about how they roll out software. They do things by Sub AZ (shard, cell), AZ, Region... they can and do split on other axes as well. Rolling out a PXE boot change would be caught by increase in failed boot or under utilized instances (they didn't boot right) pretty quickly in a roll out and rolled back.

All of this is aided by many may of AWS's customers treating servers like cows not pets, so whacking and restarting a small % of hosts isn't super detrimental and likely won't even be noticed. AWS can be extra cruel to internal teams actually. We have have a few concepts internally that push users to be even more ephemeral than normal.

As for how do people learn PXE boot? Experience or on the job training. I have no idea if AWS uses PXE boot anymore, I suspect they have a specialized setup, boot vms directly, etc. There's hardware security with the hypervisors you don't get on normal machines. I PXE booted a linux desktop the other day in the office to install linux so the corp side does use it.

I'm not really sure what the point you are getting at is tho. The cloud providers are doing things on a scale most people are not used to thinking of and the problems are often quite different as are the solutions. Are you rolling your own custom hardware with FoxCon (https://www.importgenius.com/suppliers/foxconn-aws)? Do you roll your own custom silicon (https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/annapurna%20labs)? Would you be solving PXE boot issues if you had these capabilities?
My cousin did this.

By gaming the promotions - get a free month, pay for a month, cancel, get promo for free month, repeat - i think he got maybe an 8 month subscription and only paid for 3.

And he’d do the same - as soon as a movie arrived, make a copy, drop it back in the mail that night. I think the max was maybe 24 movies a month.

He amassed a collection of over 200 movies that way. Then he cancelled and had movies to watch for the next 2-3 years.

Watch out what you're agreeing to. Sites can share your email and telephone number with data brokers, if you've provided this info and clicked "agree".

You're agreeing to all — otherwise illegal — tracking they can manage to do, not just some cookies.

What a glorious downfall of arrogance and smug outdated systems
When I first got Netflix, I spent a couple years watching everything from the IMDB top 250 that I hadn’t seen. There were a handful of movies that Netflix didn’t have that I ended up getting (on VHS!) from the local library. I would recommend checking the library for your gaps in the list.
What just happened to Google Search?
All the sudden my wife and I's Google Search results turned into a whole new design/experience. I googled "Julius Randle Basketball Highlights" and the results were big rounded boxes with pointless blog posts like "Who is Julius Randle's wife?" and "What teams does Julius Randle play for?" but with no real search results like I expected. Same when my wife was putting in her queries. Lasted for a short while and then a refresh all the sudden put everything back the way it was.
Quote for the lazy

A factoid is either an invented or assumed statement presented as a fact, or a true but brief or trivial item of news or information.

The term was coined in 1973 by American writer Norman Mailer to mean a piece of information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it is not actually true, or an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print. Since the term's invention in 1973, it has become used to describe a brief or trivial item of news or information.
This hypothesis is promoted by people whose religion bases its legitimacy entirely on the claim that the written stories and instructions of its founders are unquestionably true and valid, and have been passed flawlessly and unerringly from one generation to the next for millennia of actual history.

In other words, the foundational assumption of the religion is that history is a real thing, and the promoters are negating it in the name of defending the religion's validity.

Your stent is only rated to 3T because that's about the absolute maximum field strength used by human clinical MRI systems, with the vast majority being half to a quarter that.

As you noted, this imaging was done at much higher field strengths, ~10T. That sort of field strength is practical at the scale of a system sized for a mouse. For a human, it's likely to never be practical for a whole slew of reasons related to the energy needed, forces on the machine, the increase field size and strength affecting room construction, safety thresholds, etc.
Correct. We are using various hosting providers.

As part of the project, I’ve been working with providers and hosts on updating their SDKs to work on Vercel Edge Functions (and streaming).
Apple and unintuitive UI patterns, be they dark or otherwise.

How many people have discovered macOS or iOS behaviors with accidental keypresses, swipes or gestures, or long holds on a button or ... bleh.
The industrial revolution predated the abolition of slavery in the US by decades. Indeed, one of the (not very high minded!) gripes of the northern states was that their industrial economies had to compete on an uneven playing field, against states with free labor.
I created Server.js https://serverjs.io/ and still use it. It is a wrapper around express:

- With a bunch of middleware included and pre-configured, like body-parser, cookies, Helmet, etc. All express middleware works with Server.js

- async/await routers as expected: get('/users', async (ctx) => {...}); (ctx inspired by Koa)

- Websockets, where messages behave just as another route: socket('message', async ctx => { ... });
Oh yeah that is a definite issue. Maybe mods/LLM bots in some niche subs can save them with very strict on topic requirements, which would reduce the incentive for most of spam, but the more general parts of reddit (and HN) are in trouble.

Assuming 50kwh/day (2/3 of an entire Model 3 battery pack) I’d need roughly a 10kw system. According to Google Sunroof, I can fit a 25KW system on my roof. I could have 2, and still run the AC.
Yes, I know. Linux already having won is my point. The window for VMS's mainstream relevance ended decades ago. New companies won't be adopting VMS today no matter how many free hobbyist licenses you offer. It's just not going to happen. So VMS in 2023 exists to service the existing customer base. We're way past the point where VMS can hope to roll up to the commercial level at new companies by offering free licenses to a few scrappy hobbyists. Decades ago that could have worked. Today the landscape is different.

VSI knows all of this, of course. I really don't think they intend to compete with Linux in 2023 with hobbyist licenses. That was never in the cards.

Sure, as long as there are no tradeoffs involved. But there are. Opportunity cost for one.

Your saved energy calculation is the absolute upper bound possible, the real value is likely close to 0 or even negative (crypto).

Even the upper bound you've calculated is an infinitely small amount of energy compared with everything else we use energy for at the global scale. It's irrelevant.

If you want to save the world, do something that has a clear positive relationship towards it. Ditch your car, plant a tree, vote for the right politician.

This is good teaching. You can get a concept across in a few minutes, or you can make someone struggle for hours to understand. I think classic academic teaching, leans towards the latter (imagine a latex pdf that introduces an alphabet of Greek letters), vs. this, which learns you the concept pretty quick. You can them do the Greeks letters version later.

The differentiation is based on which person is making the observation.

>I can be aware and angry that someone hates me for my identity while simultaneously hating someone else for theirs. This does not negate my awareness of their identity

This statement is correct because you would intimate and factual knowledge concerning the matter.

>One woman started accosting him about entitlement, white privilege, male privilege, and refused to move. The scene went on for a while until he was able to reposition the car and barely drive by her brushing her with the car.

To then further say that woman or those people are woke is not, because you do not have any intimate or factual knowledge of them to make the claim.

It's like saying that you saw man in a firefighter jacket intentionally set fire to a building and run away and then said "That firefighter burned a building down." In reality, you only observed a man commit arson but had no idea of whether he was actually a firefighter despite what his clothing might have suggested.

In the instance where the two things are contradictory, and you have one unknown, the assessment must be based on the known (they were assholes). You cannot claim both.
Often however the denser the urban core the easier it is for people to choose to live a short distance away in sparsely populated areas and still have ready access to urban amenities like good hospitals. In other words, those who dislike dense cities the most, should be promoting urban density as it increase options for those who like city living and for those who prefer the countryside.

I’m asking what you would do with the report. If you know exactly what you want from the report, you can then begin to find that info on your own. If you know what is important to you you can prioritize your time and effort. No one is going to give you the report for free, so you have to improvise

That is still framework nonsense. If I wanted framework nonsense I would just use a framework.
