Quality of life is important to some people. 250k/year isn't that great when you can't afford a decent dwelling, there's no decent public transit. there's people pooping on the sidewalks, and tech company founders getting stabbed to death in the street.

You're not going to get everyone, but you only need a relatively small number of highly-talented people to make your company successful.

Is this accounting for quality increases? The median square foot in Manhattan today is of much higher quality than that of 1910.
Those data don't show that there's "enough", just that there are some listings in Austin.

> The knowledge and the infra needed to serve these huge models to billions of users reliably seems to me to be a pretty serious moat here that no current open source project can compete with.

I don't quite follow this line of argument. Let's say there's an open-source ML model X with a permissive licence. I think it's not super relevant whether whoever came up with the model graph & weights for X knows how to serve it at scale, as long as someone does. And it seems pretty clear that it's not just Google (and OpenAI) who know how to do this.

Separately, I'm personally more excited about the possibility of running these models on-device rather than at scale in the cloud (for privacy and other reasons).

Most of these are too old for me but ive always had this idea of fundamental language paradigms too.. my ur-languages are maybe Python, Lisp, Haskell, SQL. If you drop the requirement to choose the oldest language in each paradigm (which is more practical from a learners POV), there are many sets of basis vectors (languages) that cover the entire vector space (all language features).

What’s nostalgic to me is that this is such a classic Perl pattern: hashing manipulated strings to find relationships. Prior to Perl doing this was painful. Boost wasn’t a thing. Python was in its cradle and Java was still struggling with beans. Perl removed the barriers between complex coding ideas and an implementation that C wasn’t ready for. The time from thought to prototype was near instant compared to current compiled languages.

I think this produces more outrage than a one-time charge would. The reason is that there is no apparent ongoing cost to Mercedes to enable the full-spec performance of the car, yet they are charging a subscription fee. It would be much more palatable to me (probably most others) if you could pay some extra money at the start to let your car perform to it's rated capacity. I would be able to justify it in my mind as cost of the car.

Charge subscriptions where there is a real recurring cost to provide the feature or service, like say a remote assistance service that needs a SIM card plan.
Please do, if possible, a writeup on ESP32 version too - i have exactly the same need for one AC unit (daikin) and PI seems an overkill - but i have some esp32-cam's lying around...
His free days numbered. If he does not get caught while traveling outside, some enthusiastic and inventive kgb operatives or local policemen or mobsters will pack him and travel to some neighboring to collect the bounty and then maybe ask for political asylum in Spain or somewhere close to a beach.

This, however, is far more interesting.

> Authorities were able to identify that Kulkov had an iCloud account tied to the address nordexin@icloud.com, and upon subpoenaing that found passport photos of Kulkov, and well as more photos of his family and pricey cars.

Isn’t iCloud data E2EE? Or did they subpoena it before E2EE became available for iCloud?

And catching cybercriminals is nice and all, but why not shift a little bit of blame on banking and card systems? My bank phased out virtual credit card numbers, that were be restricted to one seller and limited in transaction amount. And I rarely encountered a US merchant using 3D secure transaction, while in Europe many did. Maybe it just my experience though. Somewhat unrelated, but my bank for two 2FA offers only SMS code, I still see cards with magnetic stripes, which should've been obsolete a decade ago, chase still has some weird password requirements that forces you to simplify it, instead of testing it for entropy and plaid still wants your password to connect your bank account to a service. The fin industry is not security minded, so that few man in russia can cause so much damage.

Musicians have been taking inspiration from, borrowing from, and reinterpreting other artists throughout history. This is what makes for the rich tapestry of musical genres & styles, and the evolution of music itself.

So may great hits are reinterpretations of older less-known numbers, often as tributes to the musicians who wrote or played the originals.

What if the estates of Bobby Russell won against Reba McEntire, or the estates of Sonny Boy Williamson or Willie Dixon won against Led Zeppelin, heck, pick pretty much any old blues musician and you can claim they've been ripped off by newer bands. Freddie King's estate would be rolling in dough and their heirs would be set forever.

The problem lies with copyright laws, the way they are today. There will always be greedy money-grubbing lawyers and people wanting to make easy money by exploiting this system. This goes beyond copyright laws. Patent laws anyone? What if Volvo had decided to charge an arm and a leg for their 3-point seatbelt patent instead of letting competitors use the idea without charge? Nothing wrong about that, they may have made a ton of money (justifiably so), but they looked at the broader picture concerning public safety. Would Chrysler have done that had they invented the 3-point seatbelt? Probably not. I'm just trying to illustrate how two parties could make completely opposite decisions both compliant with copyright or patent law.

How unfortunate that Sqlite Virtual Machine has opcodes to directly manipulate B-Trees. The opcode documentation[1] is even written in terms of B-Trees.

Land is going to be expensive in popular areas, but dense housing means that you can get a lot more housing on the same land, so you can still contain prices, even if they're probably not going to be super low.

Let's look at the prices in Chicago, which is a pretty dense place: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Chicago_IL... - $350K

Now let's look at the fairly bland, suburban college town where I grew up, which is not dense: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Eugene_OR/... - $495K!

Eugene is far more expensive than the dense place with a lot of amenities and jobs.
Without nuclear that would probably work the same as their current arrangement is working now. Germany and Denmark currently have the most expensive electricity on the EU.

Is there a listing of current US bounties somewhere? Presumably there was an initially smaller offering before it jumped to $10 million? Curious what goes into the mechanics of pricing out someone like this. The Try2Check website evidently launched in 2005 -that's a long time in operation before throwing money at the problem.-

If anything, people like Crump make genuine police reform harder. To solve the real injustices (and there are many), you first have to sort them out from the made-up nonsense. This isn't a football game, it's not a question of "pro-police" versus "anti-police"—it's truth versus fiction.

If an employee makes enough money they aren't middle class. And if a CEO is getting paid normally then they're an employee too.

Also I was thinking in terms of math applied to percentiles and other statistics, which don't change with inflation.

Are you really going to say it's crab bucket if I say a number like "a million dollars" and say it should apply to both income and capital gains? Maybe even a lower number for capital gains, if I'm being feisty?

If there is less housing, people will have fewer children. If there is more housing, people will have more. Building more houses, in the long term, just results in breeding a larger population of people. And for what? To cover the entire world in concrete and shoot emissions through the roof? At some point, we need to stop building. We need to live sustainably. The world cannot support an infinite number of people with a high quality of life.

"building more houses won't help if they are all used as investment"

Supply and demand applies to housing as well. If many new units are constructed, both rent and prices go down, even if they are used as investment.
>The US Republican strategy has been to weaponize federal government dysfunction whenever dems are in power, in order to prove an ideological point that the US federal governments are dysfunctional.

They seem to have succeeded in proving their point: the US Federal government is dysfunctional. Of course, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but they're right.

It's a lot like two people being married, and one of them saying "this marriage isn't going to work", and then intentionally acting as a terrible abusive spouse. They're right: the marriage isn't going to work, and probably should be ended.

In this case, half the US voters continue to vote for one party that intentionally sabotages the government, so there really needs to be a divorce of some kind.

Who are you yelling at? Passkeys are a FIDO thing. Everyone who has implemented them uses the same name. Apple calls them passkeys. Microsoft calls them passkeys. PayPal calls them passkeys. But if you're mad because Google also calls them passkeys, then... OK.

In my bachelor degree graduation thesis I investigated the level of democratization of AI by attempting to do a text summarizer using AWS-LSTM and transfer learning. The conclusion then was that there is no feasible way for a private person on an average "gamer" budget.

> Life is a mapless territory. You are a faulty compass.

Not really. Just look up Indian spirituality. These guys had food and water for a very long time so they spent a bunch of time studying life and the mind.

If you want to get into spirituality look at the East. If you want to get into scientific thinking and categorization, look at the West.

It is that simple.

Start with yoga as a whole. Not just the poses which is a tiny part of yoga sold to us here in the west.

It should be noted that that last part has a pretty large factor to it that also scales with model size, because to run transformers efficiently you cache some of the intermediate activations from the attention block.

The factor is basically 2 * number of layers * number of embeddings values (e.g. fp16) that are stored per token.
