I can understand why though. One employers first use of a GPU instance was when we were hacked and someone fired up a few to mine crypto, only a day off which cost us a few $1000 that, fortunately, AWS refunded. It's quite likely that most users don't use them and that it is a good signal that you've been hacked.

They have a quota system for sending emails too, and it's not because they need to purchase any hw for sending more emails. It's because those are also a magnet for hackers.
>The exact same way so many programmers can sign up for and continue to work for Surveillance Valley?

Your point has some merit, but there's a big difference between being an engineer working with systems that can be misused and waking up every morning ready to crack people's skulls (especially since those people are usually impoverished, gender & sexual minorities, marginalized in some other way, etc) or outright murder them.

Yes, both people contribute to systemic violence in a way, but I would argue that there is a vast gulf between participating in society (which is mandatory) and being at the tip of the spear of violent repression.

Imagine having coworkers who routinely committed murder and received paid vacations for it.
You'd think my > 10 year old AWS account with usage history would be enough, but apparently not.
Wattage for the whole thing is as mentioned, TDP of just the CPU is 4 to 6 watt (configurable). This particular one has a fan which will kick in if you run it hard for long periods, for truefanless I'd suggest the B1 instead. Or if you go for the splurge you can knock cTDP down and still run circles around the pi in performance.
The problem with hierarchies like "regulators" is that there is never a bidirectional feedback loop. The people who are being regulated should also be able to negatively review poor regulators.

It may not cast a shadow directly on it, but the bridge still destroyed the mansion's utility.

The alternative would have been to run the new east span south of the old one, instead of north. Apparently San Francisco preferred that option, but Oakland wanted the north alignment. I'm not sure why, all I've seen mentioned so far is that they chose that particular alignment to ensure drivers would get a good view of San Francisco while driving west...
>(although with bad complexity)

Because of exactly that.

Also the attention mechanism is baked in during pretraining. So whatever max context length you want increases the compute cost of training by at least a function of said "bad complexity." Even just 4096 tokens of max context is much more expensive to train than 2048. So if we want models with 8k, 32k, or more context then the training costs get out of hand quickly.
America Forgot About IBM Watson. Is ChatGPT Next?
Early terrestrial chemistry can't have stayed random for too long though - given the goldilocks conditions of multiple energy sources (solar, geothermal), mechanical agitation (lunar tides) and abundant water facilitating mixing/migration of chemicals. Chemical complexity must gave progressed fairly quickly, especially in environments (e.g. thermal vents, seashores) where factors like these were more pronounced.

The precursors to instruction-based biochemical factories like modern cells would have started out with things as simple as catalysts that favored certain reactions, and gradually grew in complexity (maybe via multi-product catalysts?) to encode the production of more and more specific chemical products.

The story here would be one of ever-increasing chemical complexities and ever-increasingly complex cells/proto-cells. Chemical products, and cycles, that may have been infinitely unlikely to have been created under initial conditions of randomness would eventually become incorporated into the chemistry of the cell whose production was encoded for and inevitable. Complexity would have grown with simpler biochemicals being combined into more complex ones, simple/shorter cycles growing into longer ones, etc.
>pentalty for stopping traffic (by congestion) for 10ms is 10ms delay.

That's because Ethernet has flow control, while car traffic doesn't. That's why my example was about a very fast switch with no flow control or collision detection. Basically, a fast but otherwise terrible hub.

We can't solve the inherent problems of hubs by making them faster, but somehow we think it's okay to solve inherent problems of bad road design by adding more lanes or increasing speed limits.
> For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once.

What? No.

The whole point of Node was a) being able to leverage javascript's concurrency model to write async code in a trivial way, and b) the promise that developers would not be forced to onboard to entirely different tech stacks on frontend, backend, and even tooling.

There was no promise to write code once, anywhere. The promise was to write JavaScript anywhere.
That adds a lot of clarity, so maybe this story just doesn't add up.

Also, I have to wonder if using Glonass as a backup to GPS might be sensible for western weaponry on the basis that Russia's military would not likely jam their own guidance systems. Same for using BeiDou on the likelihood that China's military would not likely jam it either.

> intense social pressure [...] annoyed looks

That's just... not intense social pressure. That's the least intense social pressure I can imagine.

Refusing to tip a waitress will very likely subject you to intense social pressure; your own friends and family will likely berate you for it on the spot. They'll tell you that you're an asshole and may refuse to eat with you in the future if you establish a pattern of refusing to tip waitresses. The waitress might even dox you on social media for it, and in the past before social media, they might chase you into the parking lot to loudly tell you that you're an asshole taking food from their children's mouths. The manager might chase you down to ask if something was wrong with the service, or tell you that you aren't welcome back.

Refusing to leave money in a tip jar is nothing like that, nobody says a thing. The most you'll ever get is a surly look from the person behind the counter and in all likelihood their poor attitude that day had nothing to do with you. They do work in retail after all, they have a hundred other reasons to be in a bad mood that have nothing to do with you. Follow the golden rule and be courteous to them, but don't let them walk all over you. If they glare at you, just take it in stride; they don't have American culture or customs on their side. Waitresses do.
It takes a decade and many billions of dollars to dig a single tunnel in most cities in this country. So best of luck with your plan..
There was that paper recently where they built a model of tennis players by feeding it recorded tennis matches. I wonder if you could just do the same with skateboarding and use that to figure out the possible parameters under which a trick succeeds or fails, and then also use it to be able to evaluate your own performance and tell you how far off you are and what you need to do different?
Don't get it twisted here.

The billionaires in China aren't punished for doing illegal shit. They are punished for going against The Party.

They probably get away with at least as much or more than US billionaires as long as they don't ever go against The Party.

Don't get the impression they are being held accountable for other stuff that The Party doesn't care about.

Unfortunately as you say it is hard to tell how much genuine usage there is. The only thing I would add is that while crypto is worse, I feel the same concern regarding misaligned incentives in regular finance.

In terms of address count, they're also as I understand intended to be use once[1]. On the other hand there's many people using the same wallet and transacting without ever leaving a exchange and causing a real transaction, though I probably wouldn't consider that as "counting" personally.

Julia (maybe by virtue of being a Lisp?) is tuned for the "lone genius developer" use case. Its feature set for enabling working in teams, where you'd want more well defined interfaces, explicit structure, control, checks, enforcement mechanisms for conventions, etc... seems weak by comparison with most other modern languages.

So its not so obvious that a larger investment would scale so we'll immediately. (But it might force Julia to get better with these things...)
I think the culture of tipping waitresses persists in those states because these are relatively new laws and don't apply in most parts of the country.

This avoids unnecessary computation at the client, it does not substantially add to the burden of the server. Which would need to be reconciled regardless of the markup format used over the pipe. Alpine is available for local flair.

Unrelated to charm and their Text-User Interface (TUI) tools:

> The interiors are nice, well air conditioned and don't smell

If they scale, that will become a problem:

- people puking in car

- people having sex in car

- people eating greasy fries in car

These happen in public transportation too (the sex one not as often, but puking, eating smelly/gross food definitely), but the big difference here is that users won't be anonymous. The next waymo rider (or waymo staff if the car stops by some inspection checkpoint between rides, or some extra in-car sensors) will be able to report the incident, which would flag repeating bad riders over time.

Overall the experience would be as good as a Uber today, as like you said, no roll of the dice on the driver.

Another new problem specific to self driving and not seen for public transportation: muggers driving a high speed bike targeting isolated rides (they'll know how easy it is to make the car stop, smash a window, and get the rider's valuables). Basically the modern version of stagecoach robberies.

One could argue these already happens in Europe on highways with traffic jams, but I can see the muggers being more active at night, since in addition to knowing the rider can't try to escape, there's also less crowds around. It'll be very dependants on regions : In Phoenix, I'd assume less often as muggers won't know if the rider is carrying.
Thanks for sharing original link — had not seen that project before. I’ll refrain from commenting on their funding, but fyi is mmm.page is wholly bootstrapped (which has left a healthy dent in my savings over the past three years haha).

So if you enjoy the project, or want to support some of the researchy aspects of it, please consider upgrading!

I have another article in the works about the importance of independent funding models and slow growth incentives w/r/t organic social networks, and projects that necessarily require slow exploration as a community (not, in contrast, “spaces designed by committee”).
So I should have to scroll all the way to the bottom of every page to navigate anywhere? What an idiotic "solution". Hamburger menus are fine. If they aren't accessible, that means they weren't implemented correctly. It is fully possible to use them perfectly with keyboards and screen readers just by adding some extra tags.
> > compile step the way typescript [does]

> Typescript transpiles to JS. I don't 'believe' there is a compilation step.

This is a common misconception. Transpiling is not something distinct from compiling. "Transpiler" is just a trendy name for a certain subset of compilers. Just because it compiles to another "high level" language doesn't mean it's not a compiler.

Every "transpiler" is a compiler.

Sources:

On BIX in the 1980s, when the only implementation of C++ was Cfront, which translated to C, I asked Bjarne Stroustrup if it was a preprocessor. He told me quite emphatically, "No, Cfront is a compiler." (I don't think the term "transpiler" was in common use at that time.)

The Wikipedia article on Cfront agrees:

> Cfront was the original compiler for C++ (then known as "C with Classes") from around 1983, which converted C++ to C

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cfront

More recently, and relevant to this discussion, the TypeScript team specifically calls tsc a compiler:

> Let’s get acquainted with our new friend tsc, the TypeScript compiler.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/basic-types.h...

In fact, if you search that page for "pil", you will find nine references to "compile" and none for "transpile".
"It could've stayed independent and gotten destroyed I guess. "

If you were going to try to exonerate these activities, I would compare it with the widespread practice of grad students conducting amateur brain surgery on monkeys at most major American Universities (where do you think all these people at Neuralink came from?). But comparing livestock and research animals is more apples to oranges. Saying these animals have it vastly better than confined space chickens feels like a stretch based upon my experiences seeing both slaughterhouses and monkey labs. Personally I would prefer the confined space slaughter house (as either a human or an animal), but everyone is different and some people believe that the ends will justify the means (they might be right and they are certainly not altogether wrong on this subject).
Seems like the early mover effect. Regardless, these fediverse wars are fascinating to watch.

Mastodon has the interesting situation where enthusiasts want to grow the network by having high profile characters join yet paradoxically the culture is exactly opposite to that. They frown upon influencer culture, anything remotely capitalistic, famous, etc. They're also against basic features like search, quote tweets, recommendation algorithms, anything proven and essential to make a network grow. Admittedly, those mechanisms do tend to lead to the culture seen on Twitter.

Hilariously, that's what people seem to want. The high profile Twitter users that had every chance to join Mastodon, never did. Yet immediately jump to Bluesky.

In response, Mastodon (the company) seems to finally come around and make some changes (easier to join, quote tweets coming, etc).

Ultimately, the moderation approach is going to be decisive. In my view, Mastodon is "toxically safe". It leads to a culture unfit for the masses.

Bluesky's long term culture is unclear to me, but I imagine it will be Twitter-like on the main server.

>You can't demand a study/citation for someones personal experience. That is absurd.

Personal experience is subjective. I am not questioning your subjective experience, because that would indeed be absurd.

What I am questioning is your claim that cannabis is objectively neurotoxic. I am asking you to substantiate your claim about this supposed objective fact.

Where is the evidence? Show us.

>Objective" means observable and measurable.

Correct. Observable AND measurable. Observing is not enough to claim something as an objective fact. Where are your measurements about these observations? Where is the evidence about the "objectively neurotoxic" effects of cannabis?

>Are you genuinely so clueless that you believe no one can perceive anything objective about their own performance and abilities and actions in the external world?

Perception is inherently subjective. Feelings are not facts.

You are welcome to perceive all sorts of things, but that doesn't make these perceptions factual, objective, or even grounded in consensus reality. Some people perceive that the Earth is flat. Does that make Flat Earth an objective fact? Obviously not, because we can disprove these perceptions with concrete replicable measurements using instruments that do not wholly depend on the fallible perceptions of humans.

You keep using the word objective without any evidence, and when questioned about it you deflect by saying it's a subjective observation. Which one is it?

This entire conversation feels crazy-making. What I am trying to explain to you is the scientific method, something most children learn in grade school.
True, it's not amazingly poor. But the performance hit is very discouraging nonetheless.

This seems like sensationalist science journalism. It says "scientists" aren't happy about the decision, but the only evidence it provides is this singular quote:

>But some are unhappy with the decision, and worry that planetary studies are being truncated too soon. “Scientifically, I just don’t feel that we’re at diminishing returns yet,” says Kelsi Singer, the mission’s project scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Like, ok? The whole reason they're shifting to heliophysics is because there are no other objects they're aware of for this probe to explore. What else is it going to do? What do these "scientists" want it to do instead?
