Their primary function is law enforcement. That's why they're under the Dept. of Justice, and the CIA isn't. They're Super-Cops, first and foremost.

The CIA, NSA, etc. aren't allowed to track domestic stuff; they're codebreaking and/or foreign intelligence.

But they sure as hell can share their tools with the FBI, who are authorized to do domestic surveillance.
I've an aversion to paying for potable water and then running it right down the drain with a very slight increased concentration in contaminants, other conversations regarding filter efficiency in this thread were rather eye opening. It feels like basic "turn the tap off while you brush your teeth" wastage writ large. At the very least, plumb it to grey water uses first.

You can’t hedge out of a negative position. If the bank is insolvent it has no need to hedge. Either rates improve and they continue to operate or they don’t and eventually they go bankrupt due to slow deposit outflow. If they hedge now they just realize the losses and instantly fail, that would be dumb.
Well stated. I will try not to worry about this and to trust God. It makes sense that that would be the antidote to that which is caused by a lack of God. Thank you.
No, you can prevent it from being a problem by only buying things that will work even if the company goes bankrupt or gets acquired or turns [more] evil.

It can if you live in a food desert:

> USDA’s Economic Research Service previously identified more than 6,500 food desert tracts in the United States based on 2000 Census and 2006 data on locations of supermar- kets, supercenters, and large grocery stores. In this report, we examine the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of these tracts to see how they differ from other census tracts and the extent to which these differences influence food desert status. Relative to all other census tracts, food desert tracts tend to have smaller populations, higher rates of abandoned or vacant homes, and residents who have lower levels of education, lower incomes, and higher unemployment. Census tracts with higher poverty rates are more likely to be food deserts than otherwise similar low-income census tracts in rural and in very dense (highly populated) urban areas. For less dense urban areas, census tracts with higher concentrations of minority populations are more likely to be food deserts, while tracts with substantial decreases in minority populations between 1990 and 2000 were less likely to be identified as food deserts in 2000.

So is the word "word" but that seems to have worked out OK so far. I can explain the meaning of "meaning" and that seems to work OK too. Being self-referential sounds a lot more like a feature than a bug. Given that the neurons in our own heads are connected to each other and not any ground truth, I think LLMs should do just fine.
Most fun thing about permaculture is the fact that no one is making money from actually applying it but rather just selling courses, books and other media. It’s funny since the first thing you learn about it, is that you don’t need to spend a lot of money doing it.

Beside that, permaculture is nothing more than a framework for systems design. Can be applied to much more than your garden.

"Increasingly poor economic prospects" isn't true. The world is far wealthier and youth have far better economic prospects than they did in previous generations, when the world was poor and the rate of teen depression/suicide was low.

The two main arguments on mental health "it's the phones" and "the world actually sucks and the kids are right to be depressed." But in the actual data doomerism doesn't correlate with the crisis. Phone usage and decline in face-to-face interaction does.

Two sources:

isn't because the world is objectively worse": https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/teen-suicide-depress...

Excellent work.

I have found (and commented on previously, sorry for the repetition but it's so common as to warrant it IMHO) that one of the biggest hard-to-diagnose issues is in https://www.nslookup.io/learning/zone-delegation/ under "The duality of NS records":

>So there are actually TWO sets of NS records for every zone: the authoritative NS record set in the child zone and the delegation NS record set in the parent zone. It is recommended that these NS record sets be identical, but they do not have to be. Generally speaking, DNS resolvers can use either set of NS records. When a resolver has access to both, it will prefer the authoritative NS record set from the child zone. The way DNS data should be preferred, or ranked, by resolvers is specified in RFC 2181 section 5.4.1.

"Generally speaking" is all-too true.

NS records in the root are glue. If a resolver only has these records, it will (likely) cache them and not bother getting the NS records from the authoritative zone server (i.e., asking one of the "glue" servers for NS records), and consider itself done for that's zone's NS settings.

But the two most common mistakes in DNS zone administration is lame delegation (non-existent SOA or NS records from the nameserver), and having different NS records in the root vs the authoritative zone, possibly with different (and conflicting) DNS configurations.

Admins update the servers named in the SOA they are administering, but don't update the root (typically, at their registrar). They feel free to change the names in the NS records, or do it and forget to update the root -- because it quite often works fine. As long as the glue points to at least one working (non-lame) nameserver, all might seem okay.

The moral of the story is that it is very risky not to keep the root's glue in sync with the NS records in the zone (including TTL values!).
Compensation and title are basically everything once you leave the IC role. Trampolining through GM is just fine if you want to land at some other mega company after.

IMHO, most tech ICs have literally no idea what comp packages look like when you get out of the bottom and middle. Sure, they know that Pichai is making $220M a year but they recognize that's unusual. Making $10M+ a year, though, isn't that unusual in these big companies once you are an SVP or EVP plus lots of deferred comp perks and so on.

Strategically, you work at tier one companies in order to _facilitate_ these career moves. The FANG/etc.-focused crowd needs to ask themselves what their terminal goals are.

> There isn't more information than you started with though.

There's the same amount of data, yes. The extra info is the structure of the model itself.

> The ability to train models and have them reproduce terabytes of human knowledge simply shows that this knowledge contains repetition in its underlying semantic structure that can be a target of compression.

Yes, and the interesting part is the "what" of that repitition. What patterns exist in written text?

> Is there less information in the universe than we think there is?

There is both less and more, depending on how you look at it.

Most of the information in the universe is Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. It's literally everywhere. We can't predict exactly what CMBR data will exist at any point in spacetime. It's raw entropy: noise. The popular theory is that it comes from the expansion of the universe itself; originating from the big bang. From the most literal perspective, the entire universe is constantly creating more information.

Even though the specifics of the data are unpredictable, CMBR has an almost completely uniform frequency/spectrum and amplitude/temperature. From an inference perspective, the noisy entropy of the entire universe follows a coherent and homogenous pattern. The better we can model that pattern, the more entropy we can factor out; like data compression.

This same dynamic applies to human generated entropy, particularly written language.

If we approach language processing from a literal perspective, we have to contend with the entire set of possible written language. Because natural language allows ambiguity, that set is too large to explicitly model: there are too many unpredictable details. This is why traditional parsing only works with "context-free grammars" like programming languages.

If we approach language processing from an inference perspective, we only have to deal with the set of what has been written. This is what LLMs do. This method factors out enough entropy to be computable, but factoring out that entropy also means factoring out the explicit definitions language is constructed from. LLMs don't get stuck on ambiguity; but they also don't resolve it.

Personally, as a fan of Blazor, I thought this was going to be a Java-based analog of Blazor; or a modernized replacement for GWT.

(One flavor of Blazor compiles C# to WASM, and uses a C# templating engine to generate HTML.)
The weirdest part to me is that the flavor in many fruit juices is artificial (or "natural", but that can also mean what most people would call "artificial", because our labeling laws are designed to enable fraud). Pasteurization and such take so much of the flavor out, that they have to add it back in.

The more tricks you learn over time, the more effective the US health care system can be. It shouldn't have to be that way.

For example, if I want to see my doctor it would normally take about a month. But a few key words to the receptionist will lead to "the doctor will see you in a couple hours".

My provider also has an urgent care clinic with drop-in. Early on in COVID (so early there were signs saying "No COVID tests unless you flew from Wuhan in past 48h") I presented at the clinic barely able to breath. 10 minutes later they had me hooked up to albuterol and I was out the door shortly after.
This would only be on future training.

But it requires massive willpower to overcome those first few days of cravings, pain and mental anguish and then extended willpower to keep it going for at least 30 days so you can build some tolerance to the new reality of clean eating and exercise...and then even more willpower after losing all the weight not to fall back into a bad habit and refill all those dormant empty fat cells that your body does not destroy for at least 7 years. Combine that with the fact that a lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck/working multiple jobs to survive and may not have access to clean nutritious foods without extended effort and you see how we ended up in this situation.

>Melanoma, the truly deadly skin cancer, is more prevalent in populations with less sun exposure.

It's vastly more prevalent in white people versus other skin colors. Even at the same latitude. Even in the same country. The incidence rate of malignant melanoma in the US is about 30 times higher for Whites than Blacks.

https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/melan.html

If somebody is White, getting more sun won't prevent melanoma; it does the opposite. Sunlight and vitamin D are still good things, so White people should spend time outside with sunscreen or protective clothing.

It took me a long time, and virtually no help from outside, to discover that vitamin D effectively cures my winter depression. I was never really feeling good around that time of the year, but it wasn't problematic enough to actually do something about it. But when my gut started to revolt around that time too, I started to feel distinctly unwell. So I went to my doctor, who gave me an approintment with a nutrition specialist. That chat was totally and wholy unhelpful, and the sympoms persisted. Out of sheer luck, I insisted on having my vitamin D tested. It turns out I was truly hitting bottom. Even that didn't make my doctor say heureka. No, he kind of casually brushed the test result away, but casually said I could take some D, ideally from october to easter...

Next hurdle was the dose. Most things I could get at the pharmacy without prescription are actually very low dose, and then there is this fresh panic going about, "vitamin D users overdose" or something. But with luck, I found dekristolmin. 20k i.e. in a single small pill. I take one every sunday since two years, and my mental health couldn't be better. Also, most of the gut irritation is also gone.

Why I type this here? I found it interesting that I had to discover this cure on my own. The medical system wuldn't have figured that out on their own, let alone accept that it was the single solution.

As a student (over a decade ago) I had hundreds - maybe even thousands over the 13 years of education, actually - of phone calls with my parents, siblings, grandparents, uncle, friends etc about various stuff I was doing after school, during school (and sometimes instead of school).

I'm sure the school office would've loved to handle all the calls for us, lol.
Yup, you are correct on all accounts and I do agree. It's just me projecting my insecurities onto them. I had a parent die uninsured when I was 21 and my other parent fell into a deep depression and became financially dependent on me. It's only recently that I was able to get them onto Social Security. My worldview has been one of "If I stop working my loved ones will struggle." in a way I didn't exactly sign-up for as I would a planned child or marriage. So, I sort of implicitly assume everyone needs to be preparing for the worst financial outcomes possible.

Quitting my job to pursue a creative project is basically a direct response to having come into some money and having reduced my dependents. It's a nice place to be, but is also quite a foreign mindset to try and embody. Hopefully it feels more natural in time. :)
I think you were originally correct and that `Record<string, number>` was not a good example. I would guess that union literals and primitives are handled differently by the compiler in this case, perhaps because a record with keys of every possible string is impossible it may have a special condition to skip some typing rules. In fact, `Record<number, number>` is assignable to `Record<string, number>`.
