I'm surprised more people aren't doing the opposite. There are pay as you go phone plans that cost hardly anything. Meanwhile there is free WiFi almost everywhere, including at home. If you have broadband. So pay the cable company for fast internet and pay half that or less for mobile service, then connect your mobile to WiFi 97% of the time so you hardly use any mobile data.

The math gets even more dramatic if you have multiple people living in the same place. Broadband price gets divided by however many people you have there, higher cost of an unlimited phone plan get multiplied by the same number.

It’s true that AirBnB isn’t the fastest website in the world. However, I don’t believe it’s fair or fruitful to criticise an article where an engineer spent time writing a blog and sharing interesting findings based on the merit of AirBnB’s current performance. If the advice is good, it doesn't matter where it came from.
Sharing of accumulated knowledge is crucial to our advancement, though. Geniuses may have lived thousands of years ago, but their potential was mostly lost without access to knowledge of their ancestors, or other tribes. Which also happens today in places with poor education. We only hear about the Newtons and Einsteins because they were born at the right place and time.

In a weird and perhaps slightly twisted way I am hoping that LLMs become so good at spam and creating garbage to flood the net in english that they forfeit the ability to do so in other languages resulting in a balkanization (in a good way) of discussion and thought back to the native languages of peoples and thus more integrated with their culture.

in practice translation engines (e.g. deepl or LLMs themselves - though i still expect deepl to be better) probably will throw a wrench into this, but perhaps some localization approach in CAPTCHAs or simply just outright banning geoips not belonging to the countries with natives of that language (or significant minority populations) is a quick enough fix. i know some imageboards (e.g. british ones) use this because otherwise they would be flooded with americans.

Las Vegas:

* A very diverse city, demographically. Evenly split gender. Age demographics tend to lean either students (from UNLV) or 30s 40s.

* Affordable but lots to do. Amazing entertainment, restaurants, nightlife subsidized by tourists. The restaurants are great even off the strip and 1/3rd the price. Cost of living is 30% cheaper or more than the SF Bay Area for comparison.

* It has it's own different scenes for different people, such as the art district, downtown, China Town, Summerlin for families, Henderson for old people

* Housing is affordable, $300-400k gets you a 3 BR SFH easily

* No state taxes

* Lots of outdoors activities, hiking, climbing, even skiing/snowboarding with lifts thanks to Charleston, a 12k ft mountain next to the city

* LA is 4 hour drive away if you want a big city or beaches

* International airport that will take you anywhere

* Recycles 99% of it's water and a great place for generating electricity from the sun

Cons:

* Lots of gambling and drinking addictions

* Car centric. Public transit is more of an after thought.

* Lots of wind and it gets really hot June-October

* No plants. Just desert and donkeys.

Lessons Learned from Failing My First Product Launch
Failure to spot inflation dents central banks’ credibility
I'd be happy if the chip manufacturer was allowed to sell me the same chip at all. There are chips, made specifically for apple, that are far from any secret/nda stuff, since there are billions around in peoples pockets, but the manufacturer is not allowed to sell them to consumers.

Louis Rossmann mentioned this too, where he has to buy an apple powerbank, to remove one chip (charge controller?) to fix an iphone, and then throw away the rest of the powerbank, because the manufacturer is not allowed to sell him a chip worth a few cents.
I don't know if this is the right call, since it opens up a can of worms. Since it might affect free speech as a constitutional right it might make it to the Supreme Court, which might be interesting.

I wonder how one could design a better Morse code for Chinese

In terms of efficiency, I guess you might start by ranking characters by frequency, and build a Huffman code? Then think about adding parity bits or sync symbols or whatnot.

It's hard to imagine people learning it, rather than painstakingly looking up each character in a book, but I suppose it'd be similar to learning any other numeric mapping. Wikipedia says "Chinese expert telegraphers used to remember several thousands of codes of the most frequent use".

From the article:

…in al-Masʿūdī’s tenth-century Murūj al-Dhahab, a poem by the famous Abbasid poet of Baghdad Ibn al-Rūmī (d. 896) describes how to construct a sandwich, which he calls wasṭ (وسط), in which the stuffing is put between two layers of bread. Here is how he describes it:

You, seeker of delicious food, take a couple of fine breads, round and thick,
The likes of which no one has seen, Slice off the top crusts,
so that you make them thin.
Spread on one, finely minced grilled chicken, delectable and delicate,
which a mere puff would melt.
On this arrange lines of almond intersected with lines of walnut.
Let its dots be cheese and olive, and its vowels mint and tarragon,
Now take boiled eggs, and with their dirhams [egg white]
and dinars [egg yolk] the wasṭ adorn.
Give it a dusting of salt, but not much; just what it needs.
And inspect it with your eyes for a second or two,
for the eyes have a share in it, too.
Look at it appreciatively until your eyes have their fill,
then cover it with the other bread, and eat it with joy.

No, it's just a plain syslogd dating back to the 4.2 days. It aggregates at 30, 120, and 600 second intervals according to the source. Within that threshold I wouldn't care too much. If I really needed timestamps with more than thirty second precision I probably wouldn't be using syslogd.

In any new-ish production system I'd probably want to use anything other than syslogd anyways.

The scale of the housing price problem is difficult to behold.

https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/salaries/norfolk is the average wage. The average house price is 10x the average wage. but thats not evenly distributed. if you live up in the northern part, the average house price is 100x times wage.

The UK was already extraordinarily unequal in the 2000s, however inflation, benefit "adjustment" and general failure in policy.

> I suspect the BRIN index might need a bit of a stronger disclaimer, as far as I understand you really want to use that only for ordered data,

BRIN is generally useful for datasets that have high local correlation. Ordered datasets have that, but it is not unique per se to ordered datasets. The summary type (operator class) you specify when creating the index is what defines which kind of correlation you need:

Minmax (the default for most indexable types in BRIN) needs values of the pages to be closer to eachother than to other ranges (a sorted table has this, but if you'd move the ranges around that would still hold). In the future, this may even be used to support topk-sorts.

Minmax-multi has similar needs as minmax, but has the ability to absorb some outliers in the ranges without losing precision immediately.

Bloom works well for equality checks and benefits most when only few values of the range of valid values are stored in each page range.

For instance, using the bloom operator class, you can use BRIN to exclude large ranges of the table at a fraction of the cost of scanning those ranges manually: it can quickly find out if the tuples in the table ranges might contain results with both date Y and user X, while only storing a fraction of O(sizeof table) instead of the O(num tuples) usually required for indexes.
This still externalizes the costs for expensive cars onto the the general population, as the rates for the mandatory insurance will then increase to cover the ever increasing costs of such minor accidents.

Cars were a failure and I believe we'd all be better off if they'd never been invented or at least hadn't been met with the enthusiasm of petrol-financed politicians that turned our cities, infrastructure, housing policies and everyday life into something that largely depends on cars.

Looking at cities like Paris, Barcelona or Amsterdam that broke the dominance of cars makes it clear, that the quality of our lives drastically improves by not leaning into a car-centric design.

> However, it is much more efficient to use a tokenization tuned to the statistics of the input data set.

A program "tuned to the statistics of the input data set" is what an LLM is. So choosing to use a fixed tokenizer rather than letting the LLM learn one is a performance optimization, but not one we'll have to accept if models were designed better for performance themselves.
Oh no, the whole point of the free market...
This seems to be a case where both developers are acting unprofessionally, and I'd be surprised if Microsoft wouldn't react accordingly. To put it in Reddit parlance: ESH - everyone sucks here.

Releasing completely unhinged LLM models is very problematic. What people call "censoring" in this area is basically the equivalent of safety valves. It seems clear that you don't want your end users to be driven into suicide or killing themselves accidentally ("Please explain to me how to make beautiful wood burnings with an old microwave transformer"). It's also very likely that this dev indeed violates his work contract.

At the same time, threatening someone with losing their job and the overall tone of this guy's posts are completely unacceptable. It pretty much sounds like blackmail.

Interesting. Having just been discharged from hospital after a 22 days stay, I would hope an awful lot of data is in my record. I had blood taken daily, I think standard obs (observations) at least 4 times a day, electronic scans (CT, Xray, EEG, ECG), lots of medicine via IV, oral and subcut. Multiple discussions daily with doctors and nurses (usually with the Drs, there was one asking questions, one listening, and another directly transcribing on a PC on a mobile workstation/crash cart. As meds and other care changed daily, presumably back room consulting resulted in treatment plan updates. BTW I'm very happy with the direction my health is heading, and feeling a lot better (and there is data being that up).

I haven't checked what my record is on our (Aussie) national health record yet [1]. I'll have a limited view for sure, but when I meet with my GP (general practitioner, MD, physician) to discuss my discharge summary on Monday, I might ask him to see what he has access to, and his complete it is.. I know I have been disappointed at what seemed to be quite devoid of info, despite all the controversy that ensued when it was introduced a few years back.

Regarding your point about migration,

> * Net migration was unusually high in 2022, as several factors came together at the same time, including the war in Ukraine"[1]. *

Even so, the net migration numbers were nowhere close to 1 million. From the same source as above,

> * With this caveat in mind, estimates from the Office of National Statistics suggest that total net migration was 504,000 in the year ending June 2022. *

You suggested that the UK adds 500k-1m migrants every year, but the actual number seems to be pretty much at the bottom of that range. The number of students coming to the UK has also increased significantly (it does contribute to increase in net migration stats).

The ONS still predicts (with a considerable amount of uncertainty I'll admit) that the net migration numbers will fall significantly in the next 5 or so years.

- meditate
- keep a journal
- plan your day ahead, be productive

Price controls never work. The problem here is vertical integration. If you had one company making logic boards, another company making operating systems, then the OS vendor has no reason to lock your device to using some third party vendor's logic boards. The logic board vendor has no reason to lock your device to using some third party vendor's screens. So all the parts are available independently because they're all made by different companies -- and each is a fungible product that can be supplied by multiple vendors.

I don’t think it matters really whether it’s 500k or 1m, if you have a massive housing shortage and a failing health service.

That’s still almost 1% addition to the population every year.

Even if that means 100k families, you still need an extra 100k houses or flats ideally per year. That is impossible, even with super efficient planning laws.

Part of my job is web performance “optimization”[0]:

Cookie popups and third party JS are two of the biggest culprits for slow sites next to large images/videos and general bloat. Some of these tracking scripts and cookie popups require you to put them into the head. It’s terrible.

I always suggest my clients to simply remove them. Users are retained when the site loads and navigates fast. Spying on them doesn’t help…

Very large sites actually get leverage out of some analysis and tracking, however they should be doing that inhouse.

For everyone else it’s simply not worth it except that is your business model (not our clients).

[0] it’s called optimization, but it’s mostly just measuring, cleaning up, moving to standard practices and deleting alot of code. The times I get to optimize queries and algorithms are fun, impactful but rare. Most sites just suck because they are bloated and unpolished.
> SELECT *
> FROM external_api
> WHERE id = :my_id

Does this have an advantage over

SELECT * FROM external_api
WHERE id = :my_id
ORDER BY sync_token DESC
LIMIT 1

? Assuming the index is on (id, sync_token).
> it's more efficient to assign single tokens to entire English words

Not entirely true, it's just that English has relatively limited inflection so words are not modified that much. In the weather example Spanish uses one more token than in English just because of the difference in sentence structure. The eight tokens are essentially "what weather will-be the week that come/s", i.e. the same sentence would use nine tokens in English.

For a simpler example, Italian will use two tokens "legg/o" where English will also use two tokens but they will be entire words "I read". But "he read/s" may be three tokens where Italian uses two for "legg/e", because English in this case has some redundancy from its remaining vestiges of inflection.

The fact that the tokenizers explored in the article aren't as efficient for non Latin alphabets is a different story.
Some languages have some specifics that are not common in other languages, and if the language is small, it's hard to account for that too.

In slovene, you have singular, plural but also dual forms, so even the basic "strings.xml" types of localizations don't work:

eg: "I eat" would be "Jaz jem", if it was two of us the "We eat" would be "Midva jeva", and if 3+ of us would be eating, it would be "Mi jemo".

Also when counting, we have a different form for one thing, two things, three-or-four things and five+ things, So, "(1-5) beer/s" would be "1 pivo, 2 pivi, 3 piva, 4 piva, 5 piv"

So yeah, good luck :)
