Reasonable point - in the case of parity, one bit of recurrent state avoids the combinatorial issues mentioned in OP (as OP more or less says in writing the finite state automaton).

It's interesting to think about parity in relation to the image classification tasks that sparked the ANN renaissance. In image classification, the class does not strongly depend on a single feature - you don't change from cat to dog by altering one pixel, and then back to cat by altering a different pixel.

But parity does depend strongly on each bit in the input.

I think it's important to keep this special aspect of the parity problem in mind when thinking about good architectures for various applications.
Build. More. Houses.

Subsidize the lumber industry if you have to.

Also, update building requirements to favor sturdier materials. Most homes in the US are made of pine 2x4s that get obliterated by minor tornadoes. The homes of my great grandparents and beyond are all made of cypress 4x4s and 2x6s and higher. They've been hit dead on with tornadoes and terrible hurricanes and the worst that's ever happened to them is some missing shingles. When I was a child in the 70s and early 80s, you would find all sorts of old abandoned sharecropper homes lining River Road that were made of cypress with corrugated aluminum exteriors. The rich would buy these homes up, one by one, strip them of their exteriors and take the frames for use in their new homes. Why? Because it's cheaper than buying the new stuff, and clearly the materials are sturdy.
>I would be curious what kind of person feels like they're on the receiving end of hate from "woke" people.

An arbitrary example I saw yesterday:

An elderly white man was leaving a parking lot with one-way traffic flow. A young white woman was standing in the road talking with a friend. He pulled few feet away from them, waited, then politely asked them to move when they didn't.

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.

These are the "woke" people who are poisoning the well for others. They just use it as a pretext to rage and hate on strangers simply because of their race, age, or gender.

I'm not saying this is typical behavior, just an interaction where someone probably felt targeted.

In a more general sense, I have been told by hiring managers and recruiters that white males shouldn't bother applying for some jobs. That certainly made me feel angry and targeted by ideologs.
> Why would Coinbase think that it could run a securities brokerage, exchange, and clearing house without registering with the SEC?

They saw Uber and Airbnb steamroll through taxi and hotel regulations successfully. But that was local, and SEC is federal.
It seems you're in the team sports model of politics. In other words, ideas are not evaluated based on whether they are good or bad towards some principle or goal. They are evaluated based on who supports it. Everything the other team wants must be bad, and must be opposed solely because it comes from that team.
The tune should have never been uploaded to begin with... I remix artists, but use their actual vocals, and never release remixes that aren't properly cleared...

Putting out unauthorized work by others (for profit), especially when it emulates that they actually created the product, can harm their reputation. Putting out unauthorized work from musicians (for profit) often represents that the work was cleared... It's a move to either generate attention for the tool that they used, or for the emulation services they provide as "musicians", or even worse it could be a scam to make money off of putting out counterfeit music... I guess whoever was behind it (and now there will likely be even more of this) figures the legal issues that arise are worth the risk in seeking whatever profit may come from breaking common rules of music production such as this.

It's troubling to see this happen as an Indie musician amid the already overly complex scam environment within the music industry.
According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), it's true (except for CO2).

https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/sore-small-engi...

@roarcher: They still emit lots of CO2 due to decreased efficiency, but the numbers aren't compared (so I'm not sure what they are), which I apologize for as I got CO2 confused with the other several gases being compared.
"You're" quite right with your comment ;)
If I was a threat they wouldn’t have allowed changing of servers for their mobile app, truth is that not everyone wants to self host everything
Nice to see someone mention direct server return or as BigIP called it nPath routing. This was an effective scaling method for handling small request that returned large payloads (audio and video files). I don't know how well known this configure is or whether it is still viable in an all TLS world.
Basically windows search is slpw as all fuck if you search by file extension. Itd be a lot faster if you just had a DB of associations.

But also in the case that I do not know the extension of a file, or want to find all files involed in configuring a program, etc, it would allow you to find that info quickly.
I don’t have space for servers at home, so I use Tailscale to expand my home lab with a couple of VPS; the nice thing is that I can just block all ingress traffic in my provider’s control panel (Hetzner in my case) and just use these machines as they were part of my LAN, and I don’t have to worry about things like Docker exposing stuff to the public internet
I just read the story but I can’t find the digital concierge post from last week. Can you link it? I feels like a better place for a further discussion on the story’s topics.
Crazy how short-ish this ends up being.

Oh booyah!
>Honestly, the datasheets are usually just wrong. The writer is an intern and the material is cargo-cult copy-pasted. If it works it's by accident, or because it wasn't critical in the first place. Read the datasheet, understand what it's trying to do, then go ahead and achieve that end in the most sensible manner.

I haven't stumbled across outright wrong just yet, but I have seen plenty of "wildly inconsistent" between layers of app notes and data sheets, especially on little RF chips. My advice to my team has been to choose the approach with the most places for caps and we'll fix it if we have to. Extra points to place caps don't hurt except when they do, and we haven't had to fiddle so far - we probably fall into "not that critical", because I'm not that lucky.

OK, we are on the same page. I still get schooled now and then, and Ott's treatment of this subject (pp. 444 - 447) got a post-it this decade sometime.

What do you do for simulation? I haven't. I would throw a linear simulator at the problem but maybe that's just the hammer I have.

This is not a Europe-specific screw-up. The US has the same issue with the SLS where the senators are mud-fighting to gather more pork for their states. Ariane is really public sector just like SLS even though it's run by Boeing.

The bigger issue is why Europe doesn't have a SpaceX but then again the US only has one and for many years people were saying it would crash and burn, which it literally did many times. It could easily have gone another way.

I think part of the issue is the more complex legal landscape and less available real-estate. It would be pretty unthinkable for a company like SpaceX to basically own a community like Boca Chica and shut it down as it pleases.

But overall I'm happy with Europe. Needless to say, economic progress isn't everything and Europe is a much safer place with much more welfare for those who slip between the cracks. I'd take that over golden mountains any day. I really don't care about GDP per Capita but more about quality of life. I even chose a relatively low-wage country to live in. Of course that requires some money but we still have a good life here. It's enough.
I think the parent comment is referring to pitches sent to successful pop artists who write none of their own lyrics or melodies and take no part in the development of the music beyond recording their vocals. Their personality, looks, and voice are their valuable contribution, not their songwriting/production abilities. They’re always looking for hit songs to jump on and record, not write themselves.
A lot businesses that we use daily (uber, airbnb, wework) which are great products would never have made it under today's environment. Not a comment on if this is good or not, just an observation that the Fed indirectly funded innovation. These companies might be questionable businesses, but have products people love.
Pre-2020 there was a lot of discussion about if the 2010s decade was sustainable.

These charts don't go back further than 2020.

Would've been much more interesting to get some attempt to answer that original question - are bad times coming or just back to "good but less insane" times?
The visualizations are perfect, I will add this to our trainee introduction on loadbalancing.
There is a talk about Fitbit load balancer on YouTube, where their algorithm is described. They used modified least connections algorithm, which also tracks failure rate of each node, decreasing the traffic when error rate is increased.

It doesn't seem like an issue of ranking since there are no results with lists of any sort, even at the bottom.

Even if the word 'list of ...' only appears once, it wouldn't be filtered out, right?

Out of 100 million pages, it seems like there could easily be a few hundred thousand with lists.

The alignment problem has been widely discussed as one of the major challenges in the development of advanced AI. The problem arises from the need to ensure that AI systems behave in ways that are consistent with human goals and values, and do not cause harm or unintended consequences. However, in this article, I argue that the basic assumptions of the alignment problem may be flawed or inappropriate, and that we need to reframe the issue in a broader context.
The op is extremely certain that they have interpreted this law correctly, but the fact of the matter is that a case like the one you describe has never gone through US courts, so we do not know. We are likely to have a court case sometime in the next few years it seems, who knows how long it'll take to get an answer though.

There was a very important and similar case though where Bette Midler sued Ford over inappropriate use of "her" voice performed by an impersonator.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midler_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

The context seems important in that case though. Ford had the impersonator sing a song that she herself released! (They had acquired copyright release for that part) So there's no reasonable claim that Bette Midler was not the one they were impersonating.

If you sang a song you wrote in a voice extremely similar to Drake's without mentioning Drake in any way, then that seems very different to me.
I think the moral of the story is: don't rely on PPAs for long term projects - there is a trend to create packages to break them once people integrated them in their scripts/code/infrastructure.

Instead, install packages from official reliable sources.
Individuals do not (although a class action would be feasible), but large companies that use Github and other Microsoft products, of course they have both the means to sue Microsoft and the motivation should their business be impacted.
> What people look for in the artist is their uniquely curated tastes, human connection to the person themselves, and a sense of community with fellow fans.

Some people do, some people don't. There's nothing obligating an anime/SNS art hoarder to think this way, and if all they ever do is consume the end product without giving a thought to how the artist laid down the individual strokes that made the picture or how the artist's circle of friends and life story influenced their style, there's no consequences. The artist and other people with a similar mindset are unable to criticize these consumers because their behavior is invisible. When AI artists started appearing with art featuring blatantly copied styles, they did finally become open to such criticism.

I have a feeling the nature of endless feeds with a practically infinite amount of art to consume has conditioned a lot of consumers to never have think about the human artist. They can just look at the stash in their Pictures folder and think "that's a cute X" divorced from the artistic context that's been integral in earlier art history. The consequences of this are only starting to become apparent right now. But I think if there were nothing like Stable Diffusion then one would be unable to tell apart the people who would be open to copying artists' styles with a hypothetical AI program to-be-invented in the future from people who wouldn't. They'd all just appear to be the same breed of fans. It was the invention of the technology and its spread that revealed those preferences.
Copilot only writes boilerplate, it can't really handle anything non-trivial. But I write a lot of boilerplate, even using abstraction and in decent programming languages. A surprising amount of code is just boilerplate, even just keywords and punctuation; and there's a lot of small, similar code snippets that you could abstract, but it would actually produce more code and/or make your code harder to understand, so it isn't worth the effort.

Plus, tests and documentation (Copilot doubles as a good sentence/"idea" completer when writing).
Likely the same reason folks in China and Singapore accept a panopticon. It's a safe, comfortable environment. I feel dramatically safer at 2am in Shanghai than I do in any US city. It's not the trade-off I want for myself, but it's understandable - and were I born there, I might even endorse it.

To the extent that the economy is doing well and folks feel like the country is headed in a positive direction they're generally willing to accept an awful lot from the state.

When that inevitably changes though (due to cyclicality), things tend to get spicy.

Don't suspect this has much to do with the King.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a Starlink chain in the sky from my balcony in Amsterdam. We have a lot of light pollution so I was amazed to see it from the city.
Except those beads on a string will not be a normal or regular sight. They're a coincidence of deployment mechanism, separation method, satellite design, and orbit design. They're temporary and as the constellation fills up, will become less common.
China had none of those advantages, and overtook the EU already in many high-tech industries.

Indeed, Europe had none of those advantages when it rose to Number 1.
> wondering why I would need a VC at that point

You probably don't. Most companies don't need VC money. VC money is essential for certain sorts of startups (those needing a huge upfront monetary investment just to get on the starting blocks). If yours isn't like that, you're probably better off going with a more traditional financing route.

And the values I keep are just to reference how much I am doing and if I should increment. Is there really anything interesting about going back to check on that? Does a big long Apple Watch streak equal a life lived?
You know we have to build roads for the cars to drive on right? Wonder what the C02 emissions for a mile of new highway is. You're also not accounting for the construction, transportation, maintenance, and other CO2-producing activities for cars - none of which are necessary for walking. Nevermind the other benefits like attacking obesity and deaths due to car crashes.

> 1. Get people into electric cars, which even on the current grid cuts your CO2 emissions by over half due to better efficiency, then

> 2. Convert the electric grid to 100% clean energy.

These both need to happen, yes. Cars existing is fine, just need to reduce usage for daily activities by 90% or so and also convert most of the grid to clean energy.
Your quotation is not what he said. Here's the full paragraph from the original source:

> “Everything other than bitcoin,” Gensler told me, “you can find a website, you can find a group of entrepreneurs, they might set up their legal entities in a tax haven offshore, they might have a foundation, they might lawyer it up to try to arbitrage and make it hard jurisdictionally or so forth.” In other words, there are people behind these cryptocurrencies using a variety of complex and legally opaque mechanisms, but at the most basic level, they are trying to promote their tokens and entice investors. (Bitcoin, because of its unique history and creation story, is fundamentally different from other crypto projects in this respect.)

This is the kind of thing I see as the ultimate app killer.

Maybe not this implementation in particular.

But almost all consumer apps can be removed with a chat interface.

Hiring a cab? “Please get me a cab to X from my current location”

Food: “please order delivery to my apartment. Something healthy and under $20”

Anything really.

And chatting as an interface is so much better than navigating every different user interface and app associated with these tasks.

Apps will mostly become backends only. UI front ends will be delegated to super data intensive environments where users need to help “guide” or monitor systems in real time where visual metrics are more efficient than reading text.

I have known electricians making well over $100k, and a carpenter who does the same.

Both work 6 days a week, long days, and often physically demanding work. The electrician is at least union and has protections through them; he pulls data center gigs on his off days.

This is also around Northern VA, where $100k salary is fairly unimpressive; it's not SF or Vancouver, but housing ain't cheap and $100k ain't what it used to be.
Fwiw it was meant to be neutral / descriptive, not positive or negative. I've been close to quality businesses built both with and without VC money, there are pros and cons to both. I just hate seeing the "venture capital is bad don't take it under any circumstances" line because there are circumstances where it can be the difference between success and failure.

It is historically derived from trust in the government, police and security services. High profile failures aside, that trust has mostly been earned and respected for a long time. It doesn't change the principles or deeper dangers of course but it does affect public perception.

Most of the customers of the life-logging cameras (like http://getnarrative.com) used it for tourism, or photographing their children (so they could play with them and still have some photos). Among the hardcore lifeloggers I think each one needs to figure out what constitutes a socially acceptable way of wearing them, in my own experience you don't wear them in a social context but it's fine wearing them if you're on a busy street in a big city for example where there are so many people taking random photos anyway or if you're out on touristy trips in general.

To summarize my other top-level comment:

I read a paper which pointed out we have no reason to believe the Chomsky hierarchy is the only formal hierarchy of languages that could exist, and the author asked why aren't we looking for other language complexity classification systems that might better match our intuitions about natural languages?

Physical computers aren't Turing Complete either, because they have finite memory. That hasn't stopped us from making practical use of them.
