It's worth noting that permaculture is not just about farming or homesteading. The point is mostly to have a balanced ecology that humans can live in. You can still have large farms, small farms, or no farms, and do permaculture.

The big mistake we made was building large cities that required moving or reshaping the land, water, animals and plants to support large cities. There really should not be this many humans in the world, and certainly not with as many huge cities as we have. We're becoming a species dependent on a synthetic environment.

I think a better analogy to use would be a very slow loading app.

Say your app takes 5 minutes to load the first page and 1 minute to switch between pages after that. Instead of blaming the developers, blame the users for expecting too much of the app. Personal responsibility and all that.

It's the users fault they are using the app during peak times. If they really needed access to X part of the app they should have done it before it got busy.

It's right there on the damn W2, how is that a "shadow" tax?

And also every other developed country! Why is "the average american or their health plan pays double everyone else" a good thing?

>Your health premiums would be lower if we all paid the same price, but your taxes would be higher.

Also laughable. Somehow our citizens pay way more than anyone else in the world, and largely don't have better life expediencies (women giving birth in america die shockingly often!). We pay more into private healthcare systems than the rest of the world pays into public systems.
Last I checked (a year or so ago, but bug report not updated to indicate current release differs much) CheerpJ provides the full Java Accessibility API, however, from the bug report on this issue, the API calls are "not interpreted and converted by CheerpJ to corresponding browser functionalities". So from a practical standpoint currently lacks support, but have stated they may improve this in future. I haven't had the time to attempt it, but based on the API they expose [when I looked, may have changed since] to talk to the runtime from the browser, it looked feasible but not fun to wire up at least basic screen reader / automation support. From my experience with a Java application converted to running on its jvm, the performance is on par to running it previously hosted on Oracle jvm via Internet Explorer. It is good, except I hate I can't copy using ctrl-ins or shift-del because it requires ctrl-c pressed after initiating copy (presumably most people just press ctrl-c twice so minor inconvenience or maybe its a quirk of our installation).

The job market is filled with scammers and really low offers.

One way to go is to bite the bullet, as others mentioned, and go through the 18 interviews, pointless ridiculously difficult tests and whiteboards, 3-days long code projects, all that to be accepted into a codebase full of legacy tech, bad team practices and 36 meetings per week. Then you spend a year working your * off trying to convince them to improve, until their funds run dry, they fire you, and the whole thing starts anew. Only this time everything is aggravated because of the recession.

Quite frankly, the whole thing is quite tiring. A career should sum up to something more than that. This can't be it. This whole process is flawed. It's a self serving loop, sub product of greedy business practices.

The world is full of problems, there has to be a better way to contribute, to be productive to society without wasting oneself to all that. I don't know which better way that is. It's all just exasperating.
The way I remember it was that people often did use other platforms but Microsoft won largely because IBM lost control of the PC market allowing for hundreds of cheap clones.

It wasn’t until the mid 90s when PCs started to feel like the more capable platform.

It’s also worth noting that there is a reason Microsoft offers heavy subsidies for education: it’s because if you indoctrinate people into your platform early on then they’re likely to keep buying your platform for years to come because change is scary.

Edit: just to add some context, this is the point of view from England. Sounds like Apple had (and possibly still has?) a bigger presence in schools in the US. Whereas over here Apple machines were relatively uncommon compared to many of their counterparts.

Ehn, SF is returning to its pre-2010 roots (heck, even the population in SF has fallen to the same level as it was in the 2000s).

The entire sofrware+hardware industry before the 2010s was south of Redwood Shores and the biotech industry was always situated in northern San Mateo County. Before the 2010s, SF was primarily a hub for the Northern California legal+investment banking industries, both of which cratered during the GFC.

There's a reason why "FiDi" is called that - SF used to be the Wall Street of the West until the GFC, and most private sector white collar jobs in the city back then were legal and finance related.

CSS1 was insufficient to do layout (just element-level formatting), and wasn't even fully supported by any browser until mid-2000. Netscape still had ~15% marketshare in early 2001, when Bleeding Edge takes place, and neither it nor Internet Explorer (version 5 at the time) robustly supported CSS2 layout features.

CSS2 was capable of supplanting tables for many layout tasks, but its implementation (especially with respect to layout) was so haphazardly inconsistent across different browsers that most devs did not utilize its new features until browsers consistently supported them, which wasn't until Internet Explorer 6 achieved >95% marketshare in 2002 and devs "standardized" on its CSS2 implementation. The earliest I remember hearing debates on tables vs. CSS was circa 2003/2004.

In 2001, a more plausible argument would be over whether it's a good idea to implement a site completely in Macromedia Flash, and whether that was the future of web development. There were some pretty astounding Flash websites back then, e.g.

Having this kind of body of curated knowledge means, for example, that a funding agency might be more willing to sponsor further specific research, i.e. you could say 'here's our plan for giving subjects doses of x amounts to study the threshold where visual perception becomes strongly altered, based on this prior work' and so on.

It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you compare the same level of unemployment historically. Including more groups in the umemployment number doesn't do anything other than scale & stretch the value. The trends largely stay the same, but the values are shifted up or down, and the "waves" move at slightly different rates

The reason for using the U3 number is because it is a good snapshot into what is happening now and it's where the bulk of the movement is. It doesn't really matter if someone reports unemployment going from 9.2% to 6% vs 6% to 3%. That extra 0.2% comes from "long tail" of the unemployed.

You can plot the different unemployment levels on the BLS website to build an intuition for why it doesn't really matter which figure is reported on, just that figures are compared against their same level.

You are talking about the popular narrative of “left brain” thinking being more logical and “right brain” thinking being more creative. You are correct this is unsupported.

The post you are replying to is talking about the small subset of individuals who have had their corpus callosum surgically severed, which makes it much more difficult for the brain to send messages between hemispheres. These patients exhibit “split brain” behavior that is well studied by experiments and can shed light into human consciousness and rationality.
I really loved how this paper shared the r-syntax of the analysis, along with the consolidated data they used. The interactive webpage summarizing their results is fantastic.

To my understanding patents do allow for either "improvements" or anything that achieves the same result as long as it's not the same solution as the patent?

They would certainly be a lot trickier then copywrite/IP but I think LLM's would still be able to generate possible solutions? One thing I'm thinking of for example is medication analogs - there's common substitutes you can make that achieve the same or better results that you can make.

To me the value here is not that GPT4 has some special insight into explaining the behavior of GPT2 neurons (they say it's comparable to "human contractors" - but human performance on this task is also quite poor). The value is that you can just run this on every neuron if you're willing to spend the compute, and having a very fuzzy, flawed map of every neuron in a model is still pretty useful as a research tool.

But I would be very cautious about drawing conclusions from any individual neuron explanation generated in this way - even if it looks plausible by visual inspection of a few attention maps.
