Theoretically, yes, in practice, if I couldn't get a permit for my street, I'd sell the house and move out to the suburbs to somewhere where I can actually park, or get a house with a drive, rather than spending my time and money renting cars every time I want to do anything like going to a DIY store, visiting family, going camping etc.

I have a Zipcar account and it's just a big faff. Limited miles, super expensive, car is always damaged and a bit smelly, you have to hope that it's available for the times you need (almost never is if that's more than a day) it's just a mess.

It just about works for picking up large items from FB marketplace or house moves, but even for that I'm considering just buying a van to avoid the fuss.

As I mentioned - it's not like it's theoretically impossible, it just changes the make up of the city and who lives there.
I'd gladly buy the parking spot outside my house if the council were willing to sell it...
Looking through the toc I hope I had known this book earlier. Now I am looking for books for the math of more advanced topics, such as stochastic calculus, etc.
I'd argue both areas are successfull because they found good ways to solve the data problem and go "big data" and the use case while nice and shiney now is not as relevant. Big models trained on text work, because there's a lot of text availabe and the task of predicting the next tokens is nice because you get autolabeled data just by collecting a lot of text. Similarily RL solves this issue by simulations of sorts (supersimplified play a lot of games against eachother, judge somehow cleverly what was better, update stuff, rinse, repeat). I distinctly remember this lightbulb going off in my head when I first played with NLP. I came from ML for computer vision and trained ULMFiT on the entire Wikipedia and was thinking...oh neat no labeling that's magical, if I had more compute I could basically feed this infinite data.

I'm not following synthetic data closely (I've used it to train models before) but I see a bright future for this space (like game engines used to simulate big worlds simply to generate data or training in said worlds and transfering).
Hi there, I have two question:

1 - Why did you choose Markdown? It seems an odd choice for training a model like this.

2 - Have you tried to train only one single PL and then benchmark it against this more general version?
It really depends on the specific union and what they push for in negotiations. Some unions will prioritize layoff preventing policies that make layoffs a less desirable option for a business. At the very least, a union will probably get you a better severance package than you would get out of a company with no union. And if severance is more expensive, it shifts the economic incentives and might make a company more hesitant to lay people off.
LOL this is such total bullshit. "Attention is All You Need" is from Google and is close to the inflection point of all this.

Not OP, but I enjoy touchscreens on laptops also. I can get by without it. I see it as a nice to have but not a necessity. It won't make or break a decision when choosing a laptop for me. Here are some reasons I like it when I do have a laptop with it:

- I think it's a better zoom experience. You can get a similar experience with a touchpad, but it's just nicer to touch the screen where you are pinch zooming IMO.

- Signing documents. I don't do this often but much prefer to use a touchscreen over a track pad when I do have to.

- Some games are better. Again not a big part of my life, but occasionally I'll play some drawing game where a touch screen shines.

- My kids understand a touch screen better. Occasionally I am on my laptop showing them something and them having the ability to reach over and touch the screen directly is a better UX for that situation.

- I do kind of like to scroll with it sometimes, but I can't really say why.

Again, not a make or break it feature for me, but all things being equal I'd choose to have it rather than not.
> The transformation of the venture capital industry over the past year has been stark. Total venture capital raised by startups plunged 80% from Q1 2022 to Q1 2023. Venture deal count fell 45% over the same span. Overall, Q1 was the slowest quarter for both capital raised and deal count since 2017.

Does this come to a shock to anybody given the sequence of events:

1. Pandemic economic relief to offset otherwise lost wages due to restrictions is roughly equivalent to "injected money/liquidity from the sky"

2. Subsequent inflation

3. Subsequent federal reserve monetary policy in response said inflation in an attempt to stop it from spiraling

How is venture capital expected to perform well in these conditions? Is the point of this article "venture capital was expected to do worse off given the change in underlying economic conditions, but not this drastically of a difference"?

Federal Funds Rate is about to be 5.25%

30 year fixed mortgages are ~7%

Financing a new car for 60 months is 7%

I'm less interested in "how bad is the state of venture capitalism" right now and more interested in "when is it roughly expected to get better/be less bad again"?
> - "US Debt default could happen by 2023" -- pure speculation, not news

It seems like this will happen unless something significant changes. It also seems likely something significant will change, such as GOP and Dems agreeing. But until that happens, Federal Government seems to be on track to default.
> Windows deployments are permanently and continuously idempotent, but they definitely are not.

They can be. I've administered large networks personally where they are. If the GP comment would break something that's different, I agree. I'm commenting in the abstract, it is definitely possible to remove files or change the registry at scale. Windows is very good at that.

It's such a pity AMD revolutionized bandwidth & interconnectivity on Epyc (128 lanes PCIe) , but has left consumers hanging. Threadripper HDET was 64 lanes (the Pro really was a full Epyc, 128 lanes, 8 channel memory) but now Threadripper is gone.

Meanwhile desktop & mobile have been so capped, at 20 - 24 lanes, right where we were.

The Thunderbolt 4 abilities of Intel chips is just stunning. 160Gbps of connectivity, usable for host to host connectivity... I wish AMD were trying to catch up here, wouldnt compromise their lead by being so far behind here.

Yes in that context it means approximately nobody. In English it's normal to not speak 100% literally. Otherwise words like "nobody" and "everyone" become useless because there's always that one guy. The degree of literalness depends on the context, e.g. "everyone hates brutalist architecture" means maybe 90% of people hate it, while "everybody goes through puberty" means more like 99.99%.

I'm guessing you're not a native English speaker - surely it is the same in other languages?
Now compute how much government receives in taxes and fees. Driver's license, sales taxes on new and used cars, fuel taxes, tolls, etc.

Car sold new @ $40,000 (Pennsylvania taxes at 6%) = $2400 in tax; same car sold used @$12,000 = $720 in tax; car sold again @$3000 = $180 in tax. Total taxes on 1x $40K car = $3300.

Cars kept to 200K miles, 25mpg = 8000 gallons of fuel used;according to EIA https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=10&t=10 average state and federal taxes on fuel are about 50 cents per gallon, thus, $4000.

So just there you have (for a typical PA car) over $7300 per vehicle in taxes over the car's lifetime.
Thank you! I took a programming languages survey course when getting my Masters at GWU in the early 90s. It was taught by Dr. Maurer. I couldn’t remember his name, but I did remember that he was into SNOBOL. I really need to find his “Forty Bucks” madrigal.
> Psst ... why don't you spend 30 minutes of quality time with chatGPT and get to the bottom of this?

A pattern I've observed at international companies who have done multiple layoffs in the past 12 months is that the European offices are rarely hit hard in wave 1 due to the additional statutory protections in many European countries.

However, that seems to fire the starting gun on the preparations needed to then carry out layoffs that require longer statutory processes in Europe, which then get included in the second or future wave of layoffs. Meta for example appeared to follow this pattern, and I've heard as much from people with direct knowledge of events.

This is Unity's third round of layoffs this year.

It's $4.49 for the first thirty minutes right now. Let's assume that's the typical length of a ride. That means that to break even on the membership you need to use it more than 45 times a year. As it is, I don't need to ride a bike 45 times a year as I live and work close to transit. The benefit of these programs is greatest if you can use the bike to cut out your use of transit altogether or if you live far from transit. It's not really my use case, but I can imagine it works for a lot of people.
Reading is a great substitute. I'll admit I've had difficulty picking up a book and reading without feeling the urge to look something up. Easy-reading books are fully acceptable!
Right!

The observation about legitimacy was not meant to be (uniquely) derogatory: almost every religion or organized movement appeals to some historically accepted source of authority. Compare neoclassical architecture, etc.

I actually had yet another failure to get gas today for my ICE. Pull up to the gas station near my office, cars at every pump except one. I circle around to get to that pump and find out why, it's out of service. I guess I'll wait for someone to leave one of the other pumps.

A few minutes later, someone moves. I get to that pump. I try tap to pay. Declined. I put in a chipped card. Declined. Try another card. Declined. I go inside, cash only today for some reason. I don't carry cash with me often, so no gas for me.

There's like 10 minutes of my day wasted and I didn't even end up getting any gas. I'll have to try going to some other pump later.

Meanwhile my wife with the EV left the house with a full tank, just like every day. Zero minutes spent waiting or failing to dispense energy this week for that vehicle.

Let's be honest about the pros and cons of each.

> Let's compare this to Google Workspace.

Well, Google Workspace is a dumpster fire. Anything that I can't run offline is a dumpster fire. That's a hill I'm willing to die on.

> Google Workspace functionality is only fully supports Google Chrome.

That's by Google's "choice". It's definitely not a technical decision.

> Google Workspace doesn't support a number of key features on Firefox, Safari & Edge - as denoted below. https://support.google.com/a/answer/33864?hl=en

I can tell you from personal experience that the only reason Google Workspace doesn't "work" on Firefox is because of user-agent sniffing and similar countermeasures deployed by Google. There's absolutely no technical reason that the disabled features cannot work on Firefox.

> So how is what Microsoft is doing, different?

It's in fact not.

> They are only fully supporting Microsoft Edge (much like how Google only supports their own browser)

No, they are only fully permitting Microsoft Edge (much like how Google only fully permits their own browser).
This has been bothering me, a lot. Google talks [1] about how Passkey replication is e2e encrypted between devices, but AFAICT they're just using a pin + key derivation. A six digit pin is like 20 bits of entropy before a KDF. [2]

Has anyone seen any docs that might help characterize how much entropy the keys have for e2e encryption (Android/iOS)?

I must be missing something, because I can't see how Google would call something e2e encrypted if the keys only have like 30-35 bits of "effective" entropy after a KDF. But that seems like it's the case??

[1] "From the user's point of view, this means that when using
a passkey for the first time on the new device, they will
be asked for an existing device's screen lock in order to
restore the end-to-end encryption keys"

In a lot of US cities this is break-even at best or simply untrue - often if you go 3, 5, or 10 miles into more suburby there's once again ample parking. So then the person in the new suburban apartment building with big parking lots instead of the new more-central building is much easier to visit by car.

I like that - in addition to covering the usual topics - it has a chapter about groups. Maybe this is just my bubble but in my experience math courses for non-mathematicians are often lacking in this area. In the same vein a basic introduction to topology could be a nice addition to a future version of the book.

Chris Dixon’s narrative feels more useful to me than the one presented by the author of this.

In the internet’s early history, the commercial internet experience was very different and often about companies trying to make money with different rather than all powerful “big tech” platforms. And yes, of course many tried (and often failed) to commercialise it.

However, the experience of being “very online” back then was completely different and existed outside all that.

It was a world of IRC, newsgroups, independent forums, personal websites, DC++ hubs, LAN parties etc. that was nearly totally unrelated to big companies and websites. Yahoo vs Google was mostly irrelevant for people inhabiting this world, which was indeed much as Chris describes, at least from my perspective.

Although it evolved over time and was clearly under threat towards the end, this version of the internet lasted well up to the mid-late 2000s.

Summary: this post misses the point and does not paint a “more correct” narrative than Chris does in any meaningful way.

Wow, taxed based on how you use your computer huh? Doesn't sounds very American to me. What's next, taxed for fuzz testing? Taxed for using inefficient programming languages?

FWIW I do not support the crypto space either, but if they want to use a computer to run an infinite loop for the end of time that's their business.

Perhaps spending more effort on improving the power grid and using more renewable resources would be a better effort?
I'm still baffled that a city like NY can't make the switch.
This is going to get downvoted into oblivion but I honestly believe it's the truth.

People are going to cling to their cars until they have a viable substitute that offers all of the following:

1. Psychological safety - that they wont be robbed or assaulted, wont have to encounter people they dont want to, wont be uncomfortable temperature wise, wont be late due to unreliable operation (including the apathy of unionized workers), wont have to smell things they dont want to smell

2. Similar experience to cars - Get them within 1/4 mile of their destination (~5 minute walk). Anything more means adapting fashion to the elements.

3. Does not have seasonal variability in usability - The bus in Calgary, AB is amazing in the winter, and sucks in the winter (waiting for a late bus in the cold means you have to dress for 40 minutes in -20c weather, when it might only be 2. And then you're inside a 20C bus with far too much clothes on. And it's hard to end up at work presentable. This is probably far less important now with rise of remote work for many.

4. Is not a tax line item that is absurdly expensive per user mile. Right now a lot of public transit is under utilized meaning it's actual price per user mile is very high. I get that it's a chicken / egg challenge. How do you get people to use a sparse system unless you build out a full suite of routes. How do you build a full suite of routes without having them be underutilized, at least at first?

5. Works 24/7 for their needs.

6. Works well for families. Getting groceries with 2 kids, going to urgent care acceptably fast, pickup and drop off at 2 different schools (elementary / middle for example). All sorts of patterns that work with 1 parent and 2 kids each having a diff destination.

Ultimately I think with autonomous cars the whole landscape will change rapidly if the gov't & unions allow it. Parking isn't an issue if my car goes home to my garage during the day (or can park itself within an inch of the next car because no one is getting in/out and the cars can coordinate to unblock each other in a truly packed parking garage). Even more so if the autonomous car is not mine and it simply goes to pickup another rider. Now we have controlled environment for just me and the car can be a small 2 seater like a smart car.
