Naked shorting certainly leads to unlimited losses, but it’s not the only kind.

Simple example is that i can buy a put option in some company. If the stock price falls below that point, I buy shares and sell them to the option writer and make a profit. My maximum loss is limited to the amount I spent on the option.

Likewise the put seller has not taken unlimited risk - their risk is limited to the cost of the shares they’ve offered to buy at.
Relatedly, having a dedicated accelerometer sensor is a baseline dependency of many of other modern features like cross-comparing compass headings and GPS for map heading information (much less any of the Level 2+ "self-driving" mechanics). Most cars likely want one, anyway, even in base models. It's one of the cheapest sensors in a suite of increasingly standard sensors (in almost any form factor of device, not just cars, but phones/watches/toasters/etc).

I love the tool. Would you be able to add background blending feature? Basically the use case I thinking of replacing the background by merging the two photos, where main photo is subject and the secondary photo is background. Doing blending in Photoshop is such a pain.
As I recall (and I'm not a lawyer so don't rely on this advice) the lawyers had advised that as long as the retention period was published, even if a subpoena asked for a longer look back you could meet your obligation by returning "all the data you had" which would only be 48hrs worth.

Had a jurisdiction said, "You should have expected ..." I expect our response would have been, "We have published what we retain, me meet conform to federal and state laws you knew ahead of time we wouldn't have more than 48 hrs worth."

That said, jurisdiction when it comes to the Internet is always kind of "weird". Did you use the web service in your house in Columbus OH, or did you use the web service on a server in a data center in California? Also as I recall our TOS also had a requirement that any legal action be brought in California but I don't think we ever tested that in court.
This is a fine list, but it only covers a specific type of generative AI. Any set of resources about AI in general has to at least include the truly canonical Norvig & Russel textbook [1].

Probably also canonical are Goodfellow's Deep Learning [2], Koller & Friedman's PGMs [3], the Krizhevsky ImageNet paper [4], the original GAN [5], and arguably also the AlphaGo paper [6] and the Atari DQN paper [7].

Software fixed are "recalls"
TL;DR - it helps to learn about patterns of thinking, particularly cognitive biases

Long version:
Plenty of good advice here, but I wanted to add something that helped me in this regard. I grew up in a household where everything was criticized for any and all reasons, most of which could be boiled down to "I feel bad and in order to make myself feel better, I'm going to do something that makes you feel worse than me." Being born into that kind of atmosphere makes it very difficult to understand that a) it's not normal, and b) criticism (when used appropriately) isn't about making a person feel bad, it's about trying to improve something. It was just never used appropriately in my household growing up.

So many (way too many) years later, I started getting into the skeptical movement. What initially attracted me was that it was about tearing apart stupid ideas (so pretty similar to what I grew up in). Someone would claim to have a photograph of Sasquatch or a UFO, and people would show how the photo wasn't what it claimed. But it was a lot deeper than that. There were doctors debunking bogus medical cures, and people pointing out that businesses were scams, etc.

That was all well and good, but as I read more and more about how to get better at spotting these sorts of things I read a lot about cognitive biases and logical fallacies. Something soaked in because I found as I understood my own thinking better, I had a better understanding of what could and likely couldn't be other people's motivations for saying the things they said. Whereas before I might think, "Oh that person's just saying x because they dislike me," or "because they're jealous that I have y," or whatever, these days I'm better at saying, "Well, they might just be saying that because they don't like me, or it could be they don't have the same experience as me, and don't understand my motivation for why I think like this. I can try explaining my motivation and see if they understand or not. And maybe they'll understand or maybe they'll explain something to me to help me understand their point of view." (It's more complicated than that, but it's hard to explain in a comment.) Anyway, a lot of the pain of getting criticized evaporated when I could reason better about other people's motivations.
They never reviewed any of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, of which there are at least 16. Also none of the Nikki mobile games.
There is a huge amount of Windows software that's still 32-bit (or at least, installs into `Program Files (x86)`), so unless Microsoft is going to start handling that kind of emulation natively in their OS (which they may decide to do), it's going to break a huge amount of stuff.

Removing 16-bit and 32-bit OS support, on the other hand, makes perfect sense.
Ya, vector search is certainly the most common hammer to reach for when you're trying to figure out what subset of your full dataset to share with an LLM. And you're right, it's probably a piece of the puzzle for coding with GPT against a large codebase.

But I think code has such a semantically useful structure that we should probably try and exploit that as much as possible before falling back to "just search for stuff that seems similar".

Check out the "future work" section near the end of the writeup I linked above. I have a few possible improvements to this basic "repo map" concept that I'm experimenting with now.
You can just add a generic version tag function that takes a tag name as its first param to solve that issue. Lets you create your own generator functions with ease for tags that aren’t included by default. Don’t see any reason you can’t add a comment() function either.

If you use a template string like that then you lose a lot in terms of type checking/IDE tooling/etc unless you add a ton of complexity, which is antithetical to this library’s goals. I definitely think they went with the right option.
With the debt we've run up (and continue to expand) combined with the clowns running things in DC it's a wonder our government debt isn't rated on par with junk bonds.

EDIT: I find it humorous that people are taking offense and down-voting my comment as though I was referring to only a subset of the people in DC as clowns. We've been running a deficit annually since the early 80s (with one anomalous year in the 90s) and the fact we've not had blow-back in the credit markets is astounding. This is only possible when we enforce the petro-dollar system with the might of the US military, something the rest of the world has grown weary of. Once we lose reserve currency status our gov't debt will indeed slide to junk status and right quick.
I mean, not only is it politically difficult, it's probably not appropriate for a City Government to organize itself primarily as a "software organization" -- that's not actually it's mission.

I don't actually want my city government to be a "software-making organization that delivers government services".

Every organization needs an ERP (maybe?), but not every organization that needs an ERP is or should be a software organization. Saying that in order to get a good ERP every organization has to transform itself into a software-centered organization... seems a bit much.
I have bunch of HDD's starting from more than 15+ years ago. I was recently checking and all of them are readable. Due tp the total number of drives I would notice 80% failure rate.

They're not used as a backup, rather I would start with the data disk and as the price goes down and my needs grow the drive would be replaced with the higher capacity one. And there is an extra set of drives (copy of those) I always back them up.
> None of them could get on a podcast and say anything remotely rational or intelligent

> main value claim was "monetizing the sharing of your home wifi,"

Let's see, we have a big stagnant incumbent monopoly, a last-mile moat that allows them the monopoly, and a proposed strategy for attacking the moat. Most ISPs have a "no-sharing" clause, but it isn't difficult to brainstorm potential workarounds: seeding connections into high-density locations, netflix boxes, even possibly a legislative play in a sympathetic area. Of course, the crux is in the execution of the workaround, but I'd expect this to have some complexity to it and I wouldn't expect a random a16z podcast host to necessarily have details at that resolution. I certainly wouldn't call them an idiot for not having all the details handy.

You seem pretty darn sure that it's a prima-facie idiotic idea, however. Can you back that up and explain your reasoning? Or are you just not remotely rational or intelligent enough to imagine a business that doesn't already exist? (See, I can be an asshole too!)
> It is, though, by the same argument also collectively dumber than the dumbest person who ever lived.

Not at all, it's not symmetrical. You're ignoring the training data and all the additional RLHF fine tuning. The model is being actively penalized for being dumb which is why it isn't that dumb in a lot of cases.
Inability to count does not prove inability to reason.
The big problem with food cost inflation is that it is extremely bimodal. Fresh and frozen green veggies are still around $1-$2 a pound. However, now a bag of chips is $5. If you weren't able to afford the time cost of making food from scratch before, you are taking the brunt of food cost increase. IMO, this is another reason to believe the "most inflation is from greed" line. Our farmers up north aren't paying more for illegal mexicans to pick the broccoli, and gas is the same price it was quite some time ago, so their produce isn't significantly more expensive and they aren't really even earning more money. Even beef in our local store is the same price it used to be, including the weekly cheap sale stuff.

But the big conglomerates that own all the branded products saw an opportunity to jack up prices without taking all the heat.

Speaking of which, if you grab a package of mccormick's chili seasoning off the shelf in your store, it will tell you to buy a 15 oz can of tomatoes. Cans of tomatoes have been 14.5oz for at least a decade, and this seasoning product has had that recipe on the back changed at least 4 times in as many years, yet they never admit to the shrinkflation that happened to those cans of tomatoes.
Complaining about someone saying they aren't committing to do something while they generally do that thing doesn't seem like a good complaint. Diplomacy has a lot of moving parts.
Could you say a bit more about how those running the councils benefit from these contracts? I don’t think I fully understood what you were saying about kickbacks.
Projects where you need to think about memory are a pretty small percentage of projects. Even on embedded systems, I wouldn't be surprised if there comes a time when nobody even knows what a register is.

For projects where you do need rust, obviously "This is literally impossible to do any other way" takes precedence over "It's best practice to do it this way", but the rest of the time.... I'm not sure I see the tradeoffs unless you're doing some crazy hand optimized low level library, or you just have a strong preference for direct control.

The existence of Redox OS in my mind is enough to prove that Rust can do just about anything and lower level stuff is needed less than people seem to think

Then again, I haven't worked much with Rust, it's only just now supported on any platforms where I'd have a reason to use something lower than JS/Python.
We used this for my Computer Architecture class in college and it's one of the few textbooks that I wish I had kept around. I had a used copy so not selling/returning it to the bookstore really wouldn't have been too impactful at the time. Now that I'm wanting to get back into low-level programming, I miss it even more.
Are there statistics anywhere on which cars are most likely to be run into the back of? I'm sure insurance companies would be able to collate the data. It would be interesting to see how much of an effect this has.
We're still doing the same antics. The OAS and State Dept supported the failed (literal) fascist coup in Bolivia, and also the recent one in Peru that has lead to quite a few deaths so far due to police/military brutality. Both were claimed to somehow be about upholding democracy despite strong popular opposition.
But this was over the course a campaign for president.

That's a distinctly 20th century individualistic take. From the Magna Carta to the Constitution, "rights" are primarily collective rights. They structure the relationship between the government and "the people." The First Amendment is not there so individuals can "express themselves." It's to maintain the communication and transparency necessary for democracy to work.
Seems like a good list, I enjoyed the comic explainer of stable diffusion and learned a thing. Thank you to the authors and a16z for publishing this :).
Yes, and Poland would be invaded too if not for the alliance. This is why they take military buildup so seriously, Russia will not make the same mistake twice.
Does anyone really have enough information to judge you in a comprehensive way? I assert they do not. Take it on board, but know it comes from someone lacking the full set of information.
Since when was hostility to imperialism suspicious? Like, you think we were right to use military force to defend ourselves against a country that was defending itself against invasion?

That just sounds like justifying an unlawful and immoral invasion after-the-fact...

> this requires that there is zero discovered misjudgments by courts in the past, which is not the case.

Not at all. There was no judgment here in that sense: Fox looked at the circumstances and instead of offering truth as an affirmative defense, refrained from doing so and settled the case. the likeliest conclusion is they couldn't offer truth as an affirmative defense (slightly less-likely conclusion: they could but doing so would open them up to even more liability than the defamation suit).

> Representing a strawman characterization of concerns

You may not have been claiming a vast conspiracy, but the people claiming election rigging definitely are. Look how many states they tried to sue in. That implied a vast multi-state conspiracy.

> Again: belief

Sure, I have a lot of beliefs grown from my personal experience. If you're going to argue epistemology, we'll be here awhile because that's a rich and dark sea to swim in. I don't know we'll have a productive discussion if epistemology is actually what you want to discuss. You asked me "seeing what you've seen, do you consider the system (across all states) to be more or less air tight," and I've answered based on my epistemology; I don't have nearly enough drugs to discuss "But how do you, like, know that you know" right now.

> It's also adequate for it to not to have happened

Unsupported conjecture. As T approaches infinity, odds of action approach 1. T of three years is plenty of time for something to have stuck and nothing has.

You can flip that script and say it's been a long time for Trump to not have had criminal charges brought. It's true. It's entirely possible he did nothing criminally wrong. Burden of proof is on the other side to prove he did.

> You have no way of knowing if this is all that exists.

You're right; I have beliefs based on experience. But the parties claiming an election-theft fantasy have not provided concrete evidence to dissuade that belief; what they have put together doesn't hold up under simple scrutiny. My default belief will be "they're lying or blowing smoke" because that's the skeptical position; absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but it's also not evidence of evidence (and lacking evidence, the likeliest scenario is "things were basically on the up-and-up" because they tend to be).

> but on an absolute scale

What does that even mean.
Interpreting a well regulated militia to actually mean something.
Excellent recommendation; they are very good books to start with. Concepts are clearly explained and I wish every mathematics textbook was structured like this. Some people are biased against these books because they're Soviet, but I find that attitude parochial. If we're judging textbooks on their merits alone, these will get you to Calculus.
Hm, your direction of comparison between "100K" and "a team of 5 SWE's" seems off. Also, you're going to need some non-SWE staff involved there, some combination of people providing product management, project management, UX design, and user research/contact.
Interesting idea, but—and this is a kneejerk first-impression thing—I find the pirate talk hard to get past.

It's not even the silliness of it, which I might find appealing under other circumstances; it just takes longer for me to understand the tweets.

Intel gets a lot of criticism for its management, and Apple get a lot of credit for the M1, but it's worth keeping in mind the tradeoffs/sacrifices for backward compatibility. I'm guessing Intel could create something radically more power efficient and performant if they gave up on decades worth of drop-in compatibility.
Postgres forks an OS process for each connection, which is relatively heavy weight. Oracle has a similar architecture to Postgres, and they solved it with a "multi-threaded listener". MySQL, in contrast, uses threads, which makes connections lighter weight.

It's fundamentally a question of how the connection listener communicates with the rest of the database, e.g., using shared memory or some other IPC mechanism, work queues, etc. Having too many connections results in problems with concurrent access and lock contention independent of how heavyweight the actual listening process is.
would this outperform the api<>instruction pairs stuffed into a vector db and running an retrieval augmented chain of thought on openai

this is how openai plugins work right ?
The current proposal seems to keep 32 bit support for applications (running in Ring 3), just removing support for having 32 bit operating systems (in Ring 0).
>We should work less because it allows us to be better humans.

This seems like a false dichotomy. If your work is a net positive for humanity, then doing more of it makes you a better human (up to a point of diminishing returns). Maybe the problem isn't the number of hours we work, but rather the type of work and projects that we choose to spend our time on.

The other issue here is one of meaning. Many people derive meaning in life from their work. It wouldn't make sense to tell an artist who loves what they do to cut back on their work hours. Meaning is mentioned in the first paragraph, but is never addressed in relation to the argument about morality.
Just letting you know, that here in Tbilisi (Georgia) it’s in every single restaurant and to be honest it’s awesome. You can see the latest version, pictures, you can pick the language. It’s a pity it’s not possible to order and pay. That would be awesome. I think paper menus are only needed in higher end places where you go for “experiences” and not to dinner
This is oversimplified at best. Not all VCs are created equal. A broad-brush characterization like this removes any incentive for VCs to behave well (if everyone will assume the worst of you, why bother trying to build a good reputation), and discourages entrepreneurs from vetting their investors (why bother, if they're all equally bad).

Regenerative braking is disabled at very low speeds as it becomes inefficient/ineffective. That's when the mechanical brakes need to be applied. Some cars might need a bit more pressure on the brake pedal for such. In a Prius (2nd gen.) this transition is barely noticeable (and I assume was the reason for some of those "sudden acceleration" claims years ago).

This all applies of course only to the soft-braking when coming to a stand-still. When braking hard, the mechanical brakes are applied at high speed as well.
You did it ONCE and got banned?

I still can't find anything in the subreddit rules that clearly says this. (Not that most people read the rules first). Why don't they just add it to the rules?

This is one of the things I dislike most about reddit, it seems to be common to ban people for a single rules violation of a poorly-documented unstated rule.

My understanding is that this kills 32-bit OS support. Eg, you can't run a 32-bit Linux / Windows / BSD distro on it. However, you can still run legacy 32-bit applications in your 64-bit OS.

Yeah, democracy is a fundamentally flawed system in that way, the Greeks were heavily aware of the popularity contest potential of it as a governing system. It's essentially the job of the "political elites" who heavily manipulate the system (through mechanisms like primaries and candidacy criteria) to not let too many elderly plutocrats get into office; because that signals instability to the rest of the geopolitical players. The fact that our political elites can no longer maintain the steady state of "respectable" leadership in America, and are being forced to compromise for goofy polarizing candidates is actually very concerning for long term view of the nation
