This is...not a brilliant response. Cars never existed to be crashed, food never existed to be contaminated.

It's (perhaps) Airbnb's job to anticipate this and act accordingly. Or perhaps the hosts?

What do you have on the roadmap for upcoming features? Is there anything you're particularly excited about adding?
The severance just continues their normal paychecks for several months. Either they were able to pay their mortgages while they were employed or they weren't, but nothing will have changed for the next few months as they job search.
I really like this!

It makes me a little sad about the greater state of software development. Each app cobbles together so much, is so it's own distinct entity.

It'd be so nice to have a more common framework to work within. I realize very much the strength of open source is it's diversity & I don't want a conquest, only one option. But every app here is so so different. They are all webapps with totally novel route structures & patterns. There is so little in common. I wish we had better ways to create higher level protocols & practices to let there be a little more uniformity.

I mean "I can't sign off on your office because the building you are in isn't compliant" seems like a fine reason to me even it's mostly outside of what you can directly do.
In CNN the layers seem to learn geometric primitive and deeper layers seem to learn more complex geometric patterns loosely speaking.

In transformer what do query key matrices learn? How are their weights somehow working to extract context no matter which word appears in which position?
Yeah, it would be pretty hard to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that this was actual criminal misconduct vs someone who is simply more aggressive towards surgery.

The real problem I see with government fines is they are generally low enough to simply be a cost of doing business. Bad behavior needs to be more expensive than good behavior!
This is the narrative that the elite use to divide the working classes. "The people making $300K/yr are not like you!" says the person making $30M/yr to the person making $30K/yr.

The senior software engineer at Meta has far more in common with a blue collar guy living paycheck to paycheck than he has with a CEO whose wealth grows faster than his or her ability to spend it.

I've said this before but the way I see it, almost all of us are N missed paychecks away from bankruptcy. For a lot of people, that N is 1, for some, it's 2 or 3, or even higher if you managed to save wisely. But we all have some number N. And the fact that we have that number should unite us against the few people on the far side of the derivative curve whose N is infinite. Tech workers had their relatively brief moment in the sun where their N was maybe 10-20, it got to our heads a little, and we started thinking we were "very different than a blue-collar worker".
Unless you're claiming that everyone making $300,000 a year could retire immediately, then of course they need a paycheck to live. Maybe you're thinking about the phrase "living paycheck-to-paycheck" which has a different connotation.

Contrast this with a person with many millions or billions in wealth. That person literally does not ever need another paycheck to live. In other words, they do not need to work to live, unlike a typical worker making wages.
Interesting, TIL.

Follow up question then: Is it normal for pre-prints that go out for blind peer reviews to be publicly posted like this? Should I be interpreting this as a leak of some sort, someone trying to get their work public eyeballs without messing with the peer review, etc? Or is this just par for the course in academia?
Surveying (agriculture, forestry, general land use) is the first example where this would be a reasonable flight.
There are probably more than a billion up and coming people in China, India, and other developing countries that would love to take advantage of lower flight and hotel prices in tropical destinations.
My setup encourage self-filtering. I bought a two-house property that is both my residence and an Airbnb. The listing indicates that I'm next door, so I have a quick response time for guest needs. Picture show the fence and large amount of space between the two houses. Whenever people do inquire about proximity (rarely), they never book, which is great. Never had a complaint from neighbors even though an Airbnb two doors down (with a remote owner) gets them regularly.

If all hosts/property owners were required to live within a very short distance of the property (and a cap on total # of properties, I think the changes would improve Airbnb (but open a massive market opportunity for competitors).
All right, how about if I say that society is messed up in some real ways (including politically), and the solution is not going to come from politics, because the problem fundamentally is not a political one?

That's not a political statement (unless you have a very expansive definition of "political"[1]), but it's still not "I am fine with the way things are now".

I suppose my views are skewed because I have become competent or better in a large number of languages. I have my favorite general-purpose language, of course (it's C++-as-a-better-C), but I view choosing a language for a particular project to be an engineering decision that I make according to the demands of the project, not based on what language I personally enjoy the most.

Developers do get emotionally invested in their tools, and I've seen an uncountable number of holy wars because of that. But all of them strike me as being ludicrous.

If another dev uses a language I would not have chosen, that's not a personal affront to me. I assume they made an engineering decision that made sense for their situation. It's all good.

> If it did, their language's viability is threatened and their investment is in jeopardy.

I sorta see this, but in my experience, it's very easy to overstate this case. If a language is viable enough to develop in initially, it's viable. How popular it is or becomes isn't really that important except in terms of being a business decision ("is it possible to hire people in the future who know this language?")
Yes, sounds like we are in agreement.
No critique, I'm just irritated the code uses dZ for the x delta and dX for the y delta.
>or we wouldn't be able to survive.

If you want to keep surviving you have to be 100% correct in your ability to predict the correct choice. Now the thing is the vast majority of predictions you have to make about anything are not necessarily life or death and/or rapidly changing. LIke you said, cars are still cars, and food is still food.

The problem is the change can be massively abrupt. Watching the use of drones in Ukraine is seemingly a decent example of this. Small cheap drones are being used in mass as surveillance platforms, for artillery targeting, and even for direct enemy bombing. They cost of defending against them seems to be far higher than the cost of using them to attack.

Now this isn't exactly unpredictable in itself. Where is gets more questionable about predictions, is what is it going to look like when AI is given direct control of swarms of these things rather than individuals with an xbox controller? Suddenly decades of battle field planning is out the window and there is a massive shakeup in fighting capabilities.
Probably not.

Honestly the only difference between how things are done traditionally and this is that the cop watching the footage isn't in a car outside with a video camera. Fundamentally functionally the scenarios are no different, one is just less cumbersome to do.

Now, I do think that even manual surveillance should require a warrant, as well as purchasing private evidence such as doorbell camera footage, but I'm unlikely to see a ruling in my favor on that any time soon.
GA is much more than business aviation (i.e. "private jets"/"ultra rich blowing their cash").

Just to name a few: Aerial photography (including checking for insulation leaks of heat/power co-generation pipelines), calibration flights for aviation infrastructure (ILS, localizers etc), training flights (or would you be fine with a commercial airline pilot to have their first training flight with you in the back?)...
I'm surprised their sales haven't dropped even more.

I had an incredibly hard time buying a new Thinkpad earlier this year. Their website is actively user-hostile. It's so incredibly slow that using it makes me yearn for the speeds of a 52k dialup modem.

Their model lineup continues to become more and more baffling, and the utter shittiness of their website makes it a nightmare to navigate the lineup.

Once I did find an acceptable machine, I couldn't fucking pay for it ... for years I've been paying Lenovo by bank transfer, never had any issues with it. But all of a sudden, they've removed the option. And the machine was too expensive for my credit card. Customer support told me to get bent (or to increase my CC limit, one or the other). Which I eventually managed to do, and which works when ordering one machine, but there have been instances where I've ordered ten at a time ...

Once it did arrive, I couldn't help but notice that the latest iteration of keyboards has gotten worse again, the touchpad frequently stops working for several seconds, and the trackpoint starts to drift on occasion. Sigh. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old man.
Of course, it will not last forever but like being "devops" when AWS started gaining traction or jumping on the crypto bandwagon - now you know how to play the game, there's literally no downside to jumping on this bandwagon if you can find a profitable niche even for a while as you gain expertise.

I patched FreeBSD's ciss driver:

- created a boot-time tunable (hw.ciss.max_logical) that allowed
changing the maximum number of logical drives (defaults to
CISS_MAX_LOGICAL, which was then 15 according to src/sys/dev/ciss/cissvar.h)

- changed the behavior of another boot-time tunable
(hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical) such that a value of 2 exposed the hidden physical direct access devices as da(4) devices, where a value of 1 retained the original behavior of exposing them only as pass(4) devices

- updated the ciss(4) manual page regarding the above modifications

This let me use a 20-disk storage array as a JBOD, which I then added to a ZFS pool.

Open source kernel development is gatekeeped to hell and back, so this didn't go anywhere. It's also a pretty minor change. Still, I'm pretty proud of figuring out to patch a device driver.
This is false, Griddy waived the bills:

I recently had the same questions and here is how I understand it:

1. You could concatenate the positional embedding and the semantic embedding and that way isolate them from each other. But if that separation is necessary, the model can learn the separation itself as well (it can make positional embeddings and semantic embeddings orthogonal to each other), so using addition is strictly more general.

2. My sense is that you could merge the Q and K matrices and everything would work mostly the same, but with multi-headed attention this will typically result in a larger matrix than the combined sizes of Q and K. It's basically a more efficient matrix factorization.

Curious to see if I got this right and if there is more to it.
You're right that this stuff isn't cheap. I'm running https://Docalysis.com/ (a chat with files website) which has expenses growing every month, so you need to make sure your price is above what it costs you, and can't give everything away for free.

His product gives you a few thousand tokens for free, then makes you add your own OpenAI API key after that, so that he isn't paying for the chat responses from then on.
Maybe Xpra would work?

> physical goods can generally not be pirated! How does the 'economy' work for your Milk and Cereal producers? Just fine.

Also, if those could be pirated we had the solution to hunger, I think solving that is way better than some profits.

Same applies to any kind of good. If it's easily recreated at home, wouldn't it be nice? The possibilities for humans would be utopian.

But obviously that can't apply to digital goods right? Money/capitalism should be about _generating_ value, not _capturing_ value. They are very different things. I'm pretty sure that the Mafia does indeed have some benefits, but they are still keeping the population hostage. Same applies to digital goods, to IP, to Copyright. No doubt there are benefits, but in the current landscape, we are just "serfs" of proprietary software, DRM, closed AIs, etc. All about moats and value _capturing_. Thank god for lock in!

Note that some of these projects are over a decade old! Maybe I am the "old man yelling at the cloud" meme, but I don't see embedded developers who have to maintain a project for many many years, using a programming language that changes often.

Yeah this definitely comes across as a totally neutral and curious disposition about it.

Police abuses against dissidents and disinherited is widespread and well documented if you're not actively trying not to discover it. It's not other people's responsibility to do this work for you especially once you've gone out of your way to frame the very idea as "emotive nonsense."
> The fact that the group specifically identified as the actual vehicle of suppression was “later” (date unspecified, but presumably after the CIA existed) revealed to have been operating as a CIA front doesn't mean that what they did before the CIA existed was on behalf of time travellers from the future when there was a CIA.

It's not clear that you mean by "the group" but CCF, Cuaderno, PEN and Mondo Nuevo were all founded after the CIA.

> Since the CIA did not, in fact, exist, any claims of what the CIA tried to do are self-evidently false, and need no more rebuttal than the date the CIA came into being.

This is a farcical argument. You seem to struggle with the concept that an organization can work to suppress something that already existed when the organization was formed.

There are specific claims that are made about the steps that groups led by CIA operatives took to suppress the book and author. All of these events happened AFTER the CIA was founded.

You either lack basic reading comprehension / logic or are trolling.
Apria Healthcare notifies nearly 2M patients of 2021 data breach
Now every open source project needs an accounting system, a bookkeeper and register to pay taxes in multiple jurisdictions, for what may be a pittance in fees earned.

If the project is not going full-tilt as a startup, then that juice might not be worth the squeeze. Do maintainers want to add administrative duties to their plate just to maybe preemptively knee-cap large tech companies? If I this were to become a reality and I were a decision maker at a large tech company, I'd opt to pay you from the Japanese subsidiary - just 'cause.
>"It made it very clear that my goal of making $10k a month from a side project is not a crazy goal to have."

Honestly that entire interview just reveals how much of that poor guys thinking is already infected by the virus called capitalism. Accumulating personal wealth shouldn't be the end goal here. It's short-sighted and perpetuates the very system that created inequality and injustice in the first place.

Instead of focusing on personal gain, why not channel that energy into organizing and fighting for a more equitable and just system? Learn about alternatives to capitalism and push for systemic change that benefits everyone, not just a select few who manage to "take advantage of opportunities."

Capitalism thrives on people thinking they can get rich quick, while most end up struggling and the rich get richer. By pursuing this goal, you're just playing into that system. Focus on the greater good and work towards a future where everyone has a fair shot, not just the ones who keep up with AI or whatever the next tech trend will be for the growth imperative to exploit.

Not doubting this, but -- sources?
Not really, if you get into the story it's much less about abusing technology, and much more about abusing FISA courts. I also think that said courts releasing a public reprimand for that behavior is precisely the sort of accountability and transparency you don't get it in authoritarian regimes. The system isn't working perfectly by any means, but it isn't some techno-fascist hellscape. You could remove the technology from the story entirely and it would be the same.
This sums it up perfectly. It's fatiguing.
> And when BTC Transaction fees climb to $30, like they did a couple of weeks ago, then what? We just stop transacting?

If it is akin to one-time transaction of buying gold as a safe asset, then people gladly pay 30$. Even in poor countries. If you want to use BTC to buy coffee, then 30$ transaction fee is a hassle. But trying to judge the merits of BTC on how easily you can buy coffee with it is as dumb as trying to judge a fish by its ability to swim. They are not meant for that activity.

> The Yen is 1/100th, or less, than the Dollar. No one doubts that Japan is still an economic power.

Sure and it has been in that range for the last 30 years. It has held its value which actually proves my point that Yen is backed by some good governance and hence Japanese citizens may not actually need BTC. Now look at Zimbabwe where government printed 100Trillion bank bills and the currency's value was destroyed in a few years. That is the target market for BTC.

> I'm not sure how we've got from the claim the poster actually made about designated bike lanes improving property values [over regular street/sidewalk access to the property, and possibly highway-only access to town]

That wasn't the claim the poster made. The specific claim was that bike traffic through residential areas by non-residents increase the value of properties in that residential area.

>> Read on - what they were really afraid of was the dirty/smelly poors coming onto their precious island.

>> You see the same BS with bike paths through residential neighborhoods.

GP could not have been clearer in his implication that having public traffic pass through the residential area increases the value of that property in that area.

Which is complete nonsense when you look at residential property prices in area which has a through-flow for non-residents/the public and compare to areas which are effectively gated off for residents only.

Buying a house in an area that is limited to residents traffic only is damned expensive.

A book that has been useful thinking about jobs:

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber

https://www.amazon.com/Bullshit-Jobs-Theory-David-Graeber/dp...

One thing from it that has been stuck in my mind: a common occurrence of people hating their jobs despite being paid to do quite-literally nothing. Part of the reason is that people generally want to be useful to society, and when they see their job as not doing that, it's hard to care or find satisfaction.
> He argues, for example, that certain locality constraints on linguistic dependencies are ‘built in’ and not learned inductively.

Checking in late here, but one of the pillars of Chomsky's argument is the so-called "poverty of the stimulus" -- basically, that human babies simply don't receive enough training data to acquire language as rapidly and correctly as they demonstrably do. Chomsky therefore concludes that there must be some kind of pre-existing "language module" in the brain to account for this. Now, not everyone accepted this idea even at the time, but surely the argument is much less plausible for an LLM which is likely exposed to more training data than even an adult human.
