> The reason for having more bits is having large numbers of incoming or outgoing connections.

I am having trouble getting my head around this statement, could you please explain this more? This idea is not intuitive to me. Any example will be much appreciated.

My current thought process is this: how having more dynamic range of a single weight/parameter will help in more incoming and outgoing connections?
Maybe I am approaching this statement the wrong way.

Thank you. :)
Cities: Skylines seems like the kind of game I should love, but I bounce off of it every time I try it. I'm not sure what it's missing for me but I just can't get into it.
I recently asked chatGPT and Bard if life was fair.

chatGPT lectured me condescendingly on biases and intentions, as it does.

Bard just said No, life isn't fair.
> I never understood why commingling was illegal.

The answer is straightforward. It is obviously possible to spend all of the money in an account. This is bad if some of that money was customer money which the fiduciary was not supposed to spend.

Spending all the money in an account can be the result of bad business decisions. But equally, it can be the result of a series of negative events. For example, a business line of credit could pledge as security funds in an account. Later, the business runs into trouble due to rare macro events (e.g. war, pandemic, natural disaster, etc.) and the loan goes into default. The creditor can then seize the funds in the account. It is better for customers if that pledged account did not contain their money.

> customers have priority in any liquidation of the contents of that account.

Neither of the scenarios above results in the ability to prioritize in any kind of orderly liquidation. Bankruptcy will likely come eventually, but by the time the courts get involved all the customer funds are gone and unrecoverable.

Preventing commingling provides a mechanism for the fiduciary to fail without having lost all of the customers' money.
Congrats on launch!

By the time YC published the SAFE, it had a lot of soft power and influence in early stage investing, because it could coordinate with every YC startup in the batch and give them cover if an investor had an issue with the SAFE. They essentially had a "union" (on the startup founder side) with critical mass, which when they all demanded the use of the SAFE instead of bespoke docs (which many investors to this day still try to mess with the standard SAFE), it just became easier for the whole industry to adopt the standard.

I'm curious how you guys are thinking about achieving that effect in the realm of each type of contract? Because on a 1-1 basis, it seems like the bigger party will always just demand their lawyers' preferred contract, and they can have a lot more leverage than a smaller startup.

The other challenge I can see is that ultimately, there's a perverse incentive when it comes to the lawyers. In my experience, large corporate firms like Orrick and WSGR are pretty aligned, because they want the long-term relationships with tech startups. But this product objectively reduces the need for lawyers (which I'm all for, btw!). For larger companies, where they pretty much pass it to their retained law firm at the contract stage of the process, what incentive is there for the lawyers to go with the standard contract (low billable hours), versus a bespoke contract (where they'll make a lot more money)?

Or I guess, how are you guys getting around the lawyers and selling the companies themselves, over the probable objections of their law firms?

I love this, and it seems you've already gotten some good traction, good luck!

It might not be a short term priority, but it should definitely be a long term one.

Currently, the company is restricted to only a subset of potential applicants (male, mid-to-late career, ugly-to-average) for any future hiring needs; that's quite limiting. There's also the possibility of lawsuits for various kinds of discrimination in the future.
For instance, according to the release, the original Greek version of Matthew 12:1 — which is the one most commonly used today — said, "At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and his disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat."

The newly discovered Syriac translation, however, is slightly different. It said, "began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them."

Wow.
It's a good thing they called themselves "CloudOps" and not "DevOps" because I struggle to think of any sane reason to write code like this

You're describing a wild animal: "It's not fair to get mad at the wolf for biting you - that is its nature"

Perhaps then we should also treat them as the wild, hostile animal they are.

> It would only work if the elephants were completely disciplined and ignored injury, death of friends, and noise

How about drugged elephants then? What if, in this increasingly sci-fi alt history setting, the elephants were just smart enough to figure out a) what kind of plant, mushroom or whatever makes them go berserk, b) realize berserk elephants are much better at effectively fighting humans, c) were willing to make individuals sacrifice themselves for the herd, and d) were able to consistently use berserk assaults as a battle tactic?

I know it's a lot of assumptions, but I won't have mere historical facts make me let go of the image of OG ultralisks attacking pre-industrial humanity.
Your original reply to my post asked for specifics of what a carbon tax is. I replied: a tax on either the sourcing or consumption of fossil fuels.

I can see now that you were actually looking for me to justify a carbon tax from a policy perspective, not define it. I am not interesting in doing so, hence “evading the question”
fyi at least in STEM type fields, the top students at one of the good state schools have pretty similar opportunities to Stanford MIT etc. you can go work for big tech, top HFT and finance firms, go to top grad schools, or whatever. unlike at Stanford/MIT/Ivy, it's not the default path, so it takes a little bit more scheming while you're there to make sure you stand out, but it's still quite common every year.

> For that kind of money you could buy an M2 iPad Pro

Swap real pads and knobs for a touch screen? No thanks, even if they would give it to me for free. Not judging Ableton stuff prices, and I'm also not into this kind of devices (aside my Korg Padkontrol) because as a prog rock wannabe musician I would probably have little use for them, but when using electronic instruments, nothing comes close to real things you can manipulate, read state, and get tactile feedback from. Touch screens can look indeed cool, but they're way behind real controls when it comes to input capabilities.
I think the six months bootcamp hires certainly tilted the prestige part into tech being just another mass hiring industry. And mass hiring did happen during the pandemic on a large scale.

Imo, tech is still a great place to be. But we all need to raise the bar for hires.
Not the GP, but Civ is CPU bottlenecked. I don't know how their code is written under the hood, but games slow down as you get farther in the game. If you play too many turns the game can take minutes to process a single turn.

I can saturate all my 16 cores, on my workstation, the only result is that the turns are processed faster. When you play multiplayer, everyone is going to be pinned to the slowest person in the lobby.
I love how the drum grooves match the content of the verses. The first verse is a introduction to the state of the protagonist and there's mainly a kick drum in the 3rd beat, keeping it simple and personal. Second verse: lyrics goes deep into the protagonist and their lack of hope/anxiety while from the drum side the kick drum appears in all 4 beats, toms reensemble the human heart beat and there's no snare. Third-verse concludes the story bringing a sense of expansion to the world of the protagonist: From the drums perspective, still kick drum in the 4 beats but the snare is back and there's way more hi-hat/ride, matching the same sense of expansion of the protagonist world and the "return of hope". It feels like the drums weren't just played to sound cool but crafted to tell a story.

> they run their game loop constantly, rendering graphics

Eh? Civ 6 is a turn-based game with really very little in the way of animation. It's not a first person shooter rendering whole screens at 30fps.

Even leaving M1 aside, on my PC with a capable graphics card Civ 6 always thrashed the CPU a ton. I know there's a lot going on under the hood but I always suspected it was nowhere near as efficient as it could be.
They spent 6 years making a game that is exactly the same at a high level with only slight changes to the details.

Tech became fashionable with the Netscape IPO. Maybe even as far back as Adam Curries internet chat based MTV things he would do. IMO that was the pivot when I look back - once it was cool enough to be on MTV in weekend marathons, back in say 1994, that was the beginning.

Little league? Social media?

Are we talking children or teenagers?

What's frequently missed is that most organization of meet-ups, birthday parties, talking to romantic interests, going to concerts et al, all happens on social media and in group chats now, and has done for the best part of fifteen years in the West. For the prior generation, if you aren't online, you aren't cool, and you won't know about cool things that are happening.

The current generation seems to have a fascination with dumb phones and eschewing tech obsession if the media spin is to be believed versus the numbers on social media apps. Both can be valid things that are occurring though, but I'm willing to bet that the dumb phone movement is a small one or a LARP for elitist cool points.
I think it's also recalibrating the different types of jobs. The type that tech has accumulated in excess over the last 5 years especially and even longer in the biggest companies are the product and middle managers, Marketing/Strategy/HR/Sales folks.
People were saying this back in the dotcom crash days around 2001, and before that in the collapse of the 6501-based home computer market, to name just two.

I don't think much has changed in the attractiveness--it has been a high-paying field for fifty-years now. The sexiness comes and goes with the cycle.

And tech is cyclical on about 10-15 year cycles or so, and we have hit a downturn after a long upturn. Maybe AI will be the next uptick. Or maybe VR. Hard to predict. But I'm pretty sure it will happen.
Bengio is retired? He still worked at MILA when I last went there. And it's funny to bring up corporate affiliations considering how many AI startups here in Montreal bengio seems to be involved in, in one way or the other :).

I mean, AM radio is basically dead (as is FM radio). Most of the stations are foreign language, talk-shows and and in at least one case in the USA, overt foreign propaganda by an unfriendly nation. I imagine the radio spectrum can be repurposed for better uses.

You're repeating the propaganda lines from big corporation and big government, while they keep subsidizing oil companies and ultra-rich take their private jet to have dinner in Paris.

This is literally putting the masses at each other's throats, while Unilever hopes to make billions if you buy their vegan products, and petrol companies go brrr.

> I assume AM broadcasts can cover significantly larger areas than FM.

Yes, depending on the broadcast power AM radio signals can be picked up from farther away than FM. At night, depending on atmospheric conditions, AM signals can be received from hundreds of miles away. For example, see the daytime [1] and nighttime [2] coverage of WCCO-AM (a 50 kW clear-channel AM station) compared to the coverage of KSTP-FM (a 95 kW FM station) [3]. As you can see, the AM station can broadcast beyond the horizon (well beyond at night) while the FM station, even with twice the power, can't match even the daytime signal of the AM station.

Because with moderator actions it's not the others in the community (most of whom rarely, or never post) who necessarily dislike you, it's the government, or even just particular actors within the government, who dislike you.

> but why would you keep trying to get involved in that if the same result happens again and again?

I'm not the GP. I don't have multiple accounts. Someone would do this for the brief time that their posts are up, and eyes see it. To know that those ideas exist within others in the community.
I’d say that Bitcoin itself has been operating pretty well, minus the stupid decision to keep the block size cap in the single-digit MBs that has created tx congestion and excessive fee competition (BCH fixed that, thankfully). The problem with cryptocurrency is simply that it’s attracting to frauds, and is dominated by fraud and get-rich-quick gambling/speculation.

It’s attractive to fraud for the same reasons why it’s attractive to people who take issue with legacy finance. Your “account” (wallet) can’t really be shut down or frozen, you can transact quickly and easily with only an internet connection and a phone regardless of borders or capital controls, and the currency itself can be audited and resists inflation. All those things continue to be true, but unfortunately the current largest, visible use case is fraud.

The original use case for Bitcoin was right in the title of the white paper: P2P electronic cash. Unfortunately, that hasn’t taken off, and some governments like the US have done their best to kill it. See the IRS guidance for Bitcoin taxes from 2013 which made it practically impossible to use as cash in a legally compliant way. That was the first, and clearest, regulation of cryptocurrency I’m aware of. All other currencies are treated differently. Only Bitcoin/cryptocurrency was singled out for particularly onerous tax treatment.

If you like this, you might be interested in hearing "micro articulations" in baroque harpsichord music. The most talented harpsichordists, like Scott Ross (RIP), use incredibly minute pauses and lags to add expression to the music, which is otherwise hard to do with a harpsichord, since it does not allow for dynamics like a piano-- the string on the harpsichord either gets plucked or it doesn't, whereas the piano hammer can hit with varying intensity based on how hard the key is pressed. A good example:
