One of the more clever quips I heard was some scientist or other who said that there's really no need to go to the expense of building all the rockets under the nukes; you can just detonate them anywhere if you want to end the world.
Yea, I’d rather be “intellectually lazy” and grounded in reality.

These people aren’t using “data” to solve problems. What a joke.

Here’s what’s going to happen - voting citizens will eventually get tired of the drugs, property crime, and homeless and they’ll elect a mayor who is “tough on crime”. There will be a crack down and the public spaces will improve however eventually regress back. Then the cycle repeats. And a new academic group says if there were more cheap housing all the problems will be solved.
That's a very poor argument. No company wants to pay any fines at all.

I could ask you, what very large company has been comfortable with a fine and has repetitively paid it for over a decade?
Performance-wise, maybe, but mergesort is clearly the most elegant/beautiful sorting algorithm. Nothing tricky going on, just a couple sorted lists being merged. Plus everyone loves a stable sort.

I'm so sorry your wife (and you) are going through this. When the medical system fails, it fails hard. I don't know what to say except that I hope you all get to the bottom of this quickly and she gets the help she needs.

I'll look again at Kagi
Asus was very successful and at one point had captured a large portion of the motherboard market due to their extremely reliable motherboards at that time. (I recall reading many years ago as many as 1 in 4 computers were using an Asus mobo).

Asus started to branch into making other equipment. Their notebooks were good quality and their premium notebooks were innovative and risked eating into markets of other manufacturers. Complaints were raised that Asus had a conflict of interest as they were an ODM making equipment for companies like Apple but then able to leverage that to assist their own business. Asus was then split to remove conflict of interests.
I mean, they are synonyms, yes; but my point is you don't have to distill down to an essential element.
Forget chains. Gear-driven cams are best. My motorcycle had them, but honda switched to chains in the new models because cam gears made a small high-pitched noise.
Atlas Shrugged is most definitely fiction. Just because it was written in service of communicating a philosophy/ideology doesn't change that.

Same with Camus' The Stranger, or Sartre's Nausea.
Not least, young adults are also probably the least able to actually shell out nearly £20 to go and see a film. Younger kids get taken by parents, older adults might get a living wage to afford it. Plus, in car-centric places, it's hard to even get to the cinema if you don't drive a car. Meanwhile Netflix is probably are already subscribed to, so it's "free", and it's right there at home.
Realize the marketing and support (likely none) of retail parts like these: manufacturers don't believe enterprise customers will not scream at them if some or many of them fail. They can play fast-and-loose to push the boundaries to get marketshare. Big name vloggers and tech reporters may complain.

OTOH, enterprise parts are built and supported towards conservatism and reliability.

There is crossover and a spectrum between the 2, but this case isn't a complete surprise.
I don’t think I agree with your conclusion. Taiwan had a higher degree of literacy than China in spite of traditional characters, yet most Chinese and Taiwanese people seem to have a hard time remembering characters. Indeed in China people just use pinyin mostly now to type, which uses the latin alphabet.

The best thing you can do today if you want quick adoption of a language is to use the latin alphabet.

North Korea is not a global military power, its not an important economic power, it doesn't hold considerable reserves of important resources, it's not a big player in world trade, it doesn't have a seat in important intergovernmental political forums, it's not currently involved in a large-scale armed conflict and is not a member of the UN Security Council.

North Korea dangerous because it has a (comparatively, tiny) nuclear stockpile, but in the grand scheme of things, it's rather irrelevant.

Russia is all those things above that North Korea isn't. Neither Russia nor the USA have performed nuclear tests in the 21st century and that was a huge step that took insurmountable diplomatic work to achieve. Starting nuclear tests again would not only be a huge step back diplomatically, but also open a whole other can of worms that thankfully still remains closed. As things currently are, it's a smart move geopolitically to not be the country that takes that step back, or that opens that can of worms.
Wow this is incredible, thanks for sharing! I was quoted $800/mo after insurance for a moderately low dose of Semaglutide (Ozempic)
I've been very cautious the last couple of years due to these bad actors when looking at packages that might suit my needs. If there is no online presence of the source code (git anything, zips/gzs, etc), multiple packages submitted in a short time frame, or a greater than normal amount, an/or a derivation/plugin of a popular package it's usually a no-go.

For those that I do possibly trust, I then download the package (pip download) and review it. Doing a quick regex for URLs or exec() calls helps, but I probably should use something like guarddog (https://github.com/DataDog/guarddog)
Thanks for sharing, I like the name and I'll try it out. Yes, I'd like to add opt-in sharing features in the future -- seeing others' notes can be very insightful as you said.
At least a few years ago, spacex didn't do debt financing, which means that fluctuation of the stock price on the secondary market wouldn't matter... The company's finances are affected by the stock price only through cost of capital. If you aren't raising money or taking on debt then the co doesn't care about the stock price at all.

That seems like a way to kill pypi as a popular service. For the 3 or so packages I have, I'd probably just change the description to pull from another location rather than pypi. It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I don't want to end up paying for another subscription if rules change.

There are also people who wouldn't be able to pay for legal reasons. It would also stop teenagers who don't need the hassle of getting parents to pay.
> "Most of the eel rents were paid in East Anglia"

Incidentally "eel" in Spanish is "anguila" (pronounced very similar), which leads me to strongly believe these two are related.

However a quick search finds out that those are actually unrelated! Spanish "anguila" comes from latin's "anguilla", and this from "anguis" (snake). While the name East Anglia comes from the German region named "Anglia", which comes from the German word "Angeln".

Note: the Caribbean island Anguilla's name does come from "eel" for its shape, but that's a more clear later phenomena.

They've been going down like this for a long while now.

I remember when toggling a VRAM option within their EFI BIOS caused it to brick after one of their firmware updates on many of their motherboards where their support gave you the run around or refused to honor the warranty/issue an RMA until you threatened legal action.

They also have failed to properly follow specifications for ACPI, and did translated IO while claiming to support PCIE Atomics (which are mutually exclusive options).

The market is so concentrated, and they are failing so hard, its just a matter of time before a new entity entering the market with a slightly less comparable board could be financially viable.
"their segmented memory nonsense was also a waste of development time and I'm glad to see them finally acknowledge it."

Burroughs B5000 had segments. Roger Schell said it was added to Intel by a Burroughs guy when they requested hardware-enforced security to protect memory. They wanted to use it in upcoming OS's like GEMSOS. Rings came from SCOMP which also had an IOMMU in the 1980's. Descripters evolved into capability-based computer systems. Intel tried with Intel i432 APX and i960MX (good one). They lost billions. CHERI with RISC-V is the best of that lineage right now.

https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~levy/capabook/

(Note: Aesec might still sell GEMSOS today.)

More recently, schemes like Native Client and Code Pointer Integrity used segments. The reviewer who broke the software versions of Code Pointer Integrity couldn't bypass the segment-enforced version. There was probably a lot of unexplored territory in combining modern, memory protection with segments. I'd like the alternatives to have as much assurance as designs on segments gave us. They're getting hacked more often, though.

Personally I’d rather the US revisit O’Connor v. Donaldson. Because these people are completely incapable of living safely. There’s constant overdoses, constant deadly auto v peds, and constant severe transmittable disease.

If the US allowed it again then these people should be sequestered in psychiatric units which can be comfortable and have amenities after the psychotic and bipolar have been stabilized. Rehabilitation centers for the addicted and managed convalescence centers. If they keep at their previous behaviors then they get longer and longer stays in sequestration.

If you want prisons and slaves - fine. If that’s your uncreative pitiful solution besides throwing cash away and creating ghettos, so be it. I’m not sure what the penis comment is about.
Asserting that an ad hoc system of markets and currencies is the pinnacle of economic achievement is pretty bold. To provide a counterpoint, why wouldn't our economic structures change in response to interplanetary/intergalactic civilizations? Will climate change have zero impact on the way we organize resources?
For a while they used crypto miners on their site. Not sure if it’s still in effect, but it caused me to look elsewhere.

> Learning is about recalling information

I think this is the core of what people are arguing with.

I think people assume that if they fill their heads with facts, they'll end up like Tyler Cowan (or pick any other amazing-recall public intellectual). It's more likely that you end up like Will Hunting - ready access to facts but with no particular insight of your own.

The technical terms are Scale Up vs Scale Out.

Even for training on a massive dataset, you are still limited by compute and processing time (good ole Computational Complexity), which is why HPC projects like the Exascale Compute Project were created in 2015 along with additional funding+research in efficient and alternative data structures.

I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole of High Performance/Accelerated Machine Learning.
AI Alignment is a real issue, but there are more pressing issues, like AI taking leading to mass unemployment and uneven power distribution. Existential AI is not a near-term issue, and the biggest "evil AI" issue right now is spam.

Moreover, AI alignment falls into the more general category of AI understanding and AI constraints. Topics like "AI Injection Attacks" are somewhat relevant to alignment; preventing an AI from revealing a secret code or exfiltrating emails (https://twitter.com/wunderwuzzi23/status/1659411665853779971) are relevant to prevent it from swearing or trying to hurt people. Constraining AI responses so they can be trusted and used by other algorithms is very important, see GPT's "system prompt", Microsoft Guidance (https://github.com/microsoft/guidance) and other tools and discussions.

But you probably won't hear much about AI alignment itself, except from people who think its unnecessary.
Self hosted ai ftw.
I remember working in this field about 15-20 years ago. And separately, in my spare time, playing video games like Crysis. It was quite apparent even then, that video games were generally light years ahead at visualisation.

Back then, one could - using professional, multi-thousand-dollar software, and expensive services like land surveyors - painstakingly, manually build up a small-scale 3D scene encompassing an individual owners land. The result would look average/generic, and the rendering performance and navigation limitations would be abysmal.

On that same PC, one could then load up Crysis, marvel at the vastly superior output, navigability, and point-of-view realism - covering massive land areas - and think 'Holy Shiz, if I could just get my data into this, it'd be a revelation, industry-changing'.

It's great to see how things are progressing.
> nuclear arsenal in Russia

Probably a minor point of note in the things to worry about column, but Russia has nuclear missile subs (as does the US). In the event that the mainland is wiped out, they exist to exact vengeance, completing the MAD circle.

Do you really need to use segmented memory? You can just go flat mode and put code segment and data segment in the same entry of the GDT. And run everything in ring0.
The way Intel did it was absolutely horrible. Had the left shift of segment selectors on the 8086 been 8 bits rather than 4, the extra 15MB of address space would have given DOS apps substantially more headroom. Having programmed C and assembly on both the x86 and the 68000 in the 1980s, x86 was an absolute nightmare to program. Even in C you had to always be intimately aware of your memory model at all times on x86 (remember near, far and huge pointers??!!?) annotating pointers to work around limitations of the architecture, whereas on 68k everything was just a 32 bit pointer. Oh the loss of productivity that one decision driven by the desire to save money avoiding putting an extra 4 address pins on the CPU ended up costing the industry. The horror.

> Russia is honoring its treaty commitments not to test nuclear weapons.

Your assumption that Russia cares about following the treaties it signs upto is admirable but not reality. Russia never follows treaties when it doesn’t want to, so either they don’t want to test a nuke or can’t.
The people who correctly called out Trump from what he was were:

- people who had spent a lot of time in authoritarian dictatorships and recognized his personality in the dictators of those countries.

- people who are familiar with history, and saw that he mirrored the personalities of historical dictators.

- people who are familiar with cluster B personality disorders, who correctly recognized his narcissistic psychopathy.

- people who were close to him, like his family, who warned us about how he treats people close to him.

- people who went into business with him, who were unilaterally screwed over by his business practices.

- Hillary Clinton.

Listening to any of these people, or even better, all of these people, would have saved us from this whole mess.

Notably, all of these people are saying the same things today, and he's still the front runner of the Republican party. So really, the problem isn't Trump anymore, it's that a lot of people actually want a dictatorship, because they perceive they can use it to their political advantage. That's where we are now. There are no more excuses about who the man is. Trump wants to be a dictator, and Republicans like that idea. There's no more assumed good faith to be had here.
Please use the example of me spending $1 of cash to buy a bottle of water off of a street vendor. Can the government or regulatory body trace this transaction or block it? They can't? Then the premise is invalid.

They're trying to apply the same false premise to crypto.
Thanks for sharing this link. It's rare to see people acknowledge the difference between the actual vacancy rate and the vacancy rate as measured by the proportion of properties in the rental market that are currently unoccupied.

9% as stated in the article is a lot in my opinion. That roughly one in every ten houses is not currently a primary residence points to a big problem (as I suggested in my earlier comment).

Could you elaborate on why you suggest this figure (or the content of the linked article) makes my argument not meaningful?
The drop in 2020 seems to corralate with the Visa Renewal backlog that began during the pandemic. I know a lot of very technically adept Chinese+Indian researchers who ended up taking positions back in top Chinese and Indian Universities+Companies+Govt Labs due to this.

Edit:

Digging deeper, it looks like Nature treats the Chinese Academy of Sciences (the Chinese version of US DoE National Labs) as a single institution.

I'd be curious how the US stacks up if National Lab affiliation was included in the same manner. Lots of R&D done by National Lab researchers are affiliated only with their Lab, not a university.

Also a lot of naturalized American academics can also get Chinese Academy of Sciences affiliation due to the murkiness of Chinese nationality renunciation, so that might muddy it further (eg. If I'm an academic at Harvard University with an affiliation to the CAS, which relationship does the Nature Index treat as the primary?)

Edit 2: from the Nature Index itself

"For authors who are affiliated with more than one institution, the author’s Share is split equally between each institution. The total Share for an institution is calculated by summing the Share for individual affiliated authors."

So, if a researcher at Harvard or MIT or Cal is also cross affiliated with the CAS or Tsinghua, their research output would be split equally, even if the relationship is an adjunct one with one or the other.

This sounds like the same kind of statistical gaming NUS and NTU in Singapore and KAUST in Saudi Arabia are famous for to climb up global university rankings.
