You'd certainly need something beyond a chemical rocket but there are options. At that density a turborocket[1] would certainly be worth the extra mass but I think still wouldn't be enough of an advantage. In the realm of roughly existing technology, a nuclear ramjet[2] could get you to the upper reaches of the atmosphere and give you a nice little initial boost as well to your speed. And in the realm of SF, a nuclear saltwater rocket[3] would still be easily capable of making it out of Venus in one stage.

The Fed believes higher unemployment will bring down inflation. Also, higher unemployment increases labor market flexibility so that companies can easily adjust their labor force based on fluctuations in the market. Low unemployment makes it hard for companies looking to hire and expand.
This seems bad, though?

They introduce a complicated training regime to make up for tearing out a lot of known-good ideas like residual connections. (ie, not so vanilla after all.) They end up needing a lot more parameters and flops to match resnet quality...

(Edit to add) Like why not use some clever distillation to get things to work well? Take the large well performing model and try to match intermediate activations to avoid gradient collapse. Training should then be very straightforward.

Really any time I see multi stage training in a paper I'm afraid... Tends to indicate that the whole system is very fragile, and that we'll be searching for just the right hyperparameters for months...
Thanks -- that's good to know.

Ecosystems are as much a burden in embedded development as they are a blessing. Either you put in the time to support much of it across all your Tier 1 platforms or you punt on the problem, defeating the purpose of using a language with an ecosystem in the first place.

Take Javascript, for example. Which APIs are you actually committing to support? Are you going to support the Date class? BigInt extension? Node's fs, path, and crypto libraries? The browser's local storage, indexed DB, and other high level APIs? What about setTimeout and setInterval? Or are you only supporting pure-JS libraries, forcing the user to do a manual review of each dependency they consider?

A lot of microcontrollers - probably the vast majority in circulation - wouldn't have the ROM to even support most of those APIs, if they made any sense on an MCU to begin with. Look at MicroPython to see the kind of tradeoffs they have to make - it isn't pretty.
I praise your appraisement skills.

Of note on the auto insurance: We carry fat comp/med but no liability. Any damage to our cars from weather is fully on us and not the ins company. This means in our case, the f.u. FL increase can not be reasonably said to be proportional to our risk of weather damage.
It's hard to say that it's "overbroad" without knowing the details of the situation.

It's not hard at all, on the other hand, to imagine situations where this would be a reasonable request. Probably the most obvious would be if the packages contained material which was illegal to possess or distribute (like CSAM). Another would be if the packages were being used as part of a malware C&C operation -- knowing what IP addresses downloaded the packages would aid in determining the scope of the campaign.

It is easy to say this when you run a highly successful company with a highly successful product generating lots of revenue and profits.

Not everyone is in that state yet. And until you do I think you better understand your product and users through ... some kind of metrics?

You can just drop the end of the hash. That is essentially what sha-224, sha-384 , and sha-512/256 are.

Or you can use a hash where the internal state is larger than the output, which is the case of SHA3.

Note that this just protects against length extension, these are not MACs.

It's blatantly clear who is seizing control and to what end. It's literally in the article headline and description.

GP could not have been clearer that residents in somewhere that Maui, which is an island with a population of about 200k, were daft to object to the idea that easy connectivity to other islands because they were more worried about visitors from the neighbouring island than interested of the greater employment and commercial opportunities that connectivity brings. I'm not sure how you got "gated community" from that.

I'm not sure that your own implication that property prices are inversely proportional to the ease of commute to where all the people and jobs are is well evidenced by representative studies either. Even if the GP was talking about gated communities, which he wasn't, they're still usually nowhere near as expensive as being cycling distance from central San Francisco or London.
Nice.

Side note. The problem with JWTs is bigger than this. I "steal" web tokens all the time to get access to stuff outside the context the tokens were handed out in. If someone comes up with something really clever in this area there is money to be made.

Man pages are generally not always that great. I recommend people instead digest the GNU `info' manuals, as you'll come away with a much deeper understanding of all the userspace binaries you're likely to interact with on many common Linux systems today.

I'll make this iron clad promise: if you sit down and read the coreutils manual end-to-end (it'll take a couple of hours) you'll come away brimming with new ways to optimise your CLI workflow.

If you're allergic to the `info' program itself, you can of course read the manuals on GNU's website or, better still: use Emacs's info viewer (`C-h i' or M-x info), which is far superior.

Weird analogy. An ambulance has a very narrow scope of responsibility. Legal processes have a very wide scope. Clearly this is related to a legal matter and not an immediate medical matter. But the nature of the legal matter could be a very wide variety of things, ranging from lower court civil proceedings up to treason, etc.
Yeah man! Scenarios! Those documentations rarely bother with scenarios, which is all newbies need!
> but it's also doing a heck of a lot more

What are you referring to?

> Also each neuron can hold much more state than a transistor.

But can it hold much more state than 8 transistors? 16 transistors? 32 transistors?

> For example they can respond to the timing of incoming events without having to build that capability with recurrent connections etc.

But they can't fire 3B times a second. Transistors though can accumulate a number and fire when it reaches a threshold much faster (although that is not really used in transformers). There are differences, but it is unclear how to quantify them. At least I don't immediately see how that feature is a definite advantage, and not simply an implementation detail.

> In addition the neural connections themselves have properties.

This is very technically correct, which is great because in this form it shows to be a non-argument. Individual transistors also have properties. Even molecules do. Which of those properties are essential for the learning process is the important bit, and it is quite possible that none are.

> Eh? How do you explain the fact that brains can learn and aren't a fixed input, output engine?

Eh? Brains learn by physically growing parts of neurons. That growing can not be moved around to another set of neurons. That property is essential to be deemed "software".
Even with HMAC you have to be careful! A contrived example:

HMAC(secret, username || email)

Imagine you have `bob` and `bob@example.com` as inputs. This HMAC can trivially be reused (or learned) by registering `bobb` and `ob@example.com`.

If you ever have multiple fields being concatenated, use fixed-width length prefixes before each field:

HMAC(secret, 0x0003 || bytes("bob") || 0x000e || bytes("bob@example.com"))
Using seq_cst everywhere is probably so slow that you'd be better off not using atomics at all; just use a mutex library that internally uses acquire/release to protect regular non-atomic variables.

Also note that the noun associated with being "vanned" would be a "party van", not just a "van".

I primarily ride a bike and have been low-car since college in the early 2000's... hell, I've been a mod on /r/bicycling since around 2010. I took some Earth Sciences back when the professors just assumed people would act rationally and care about their climate impact. That seems adorably naive in retrospect. I think one of the biggest issues... as is always... is the housing shortage.

I'm currently trying to find new housing that is low-car friendly (my lifestyle), and also dog-friendly (my gf's lifestyle). Yes, we live in the bay area, but this applies to every single major tech hub in America. If we want to get a two bedroom unit, that's both safely bikeable to central SF, but also a few blocks from a dog park, we're going to probably need to pay about $4000 per month. That's about $50,000 per year; it's about 40% of the SF median household income.

As much as I hate the way our sprawl is infecting climate change... the real reason sprawl has taken over is that we've blocked urban housing construction for 70 years.

I hardly blame younger folks for their exurban lifestyles at this point. I can barely afford being an urbanist, over 40, without having roommates... and I consider myself fairly well off. And I'm counting down the days until I say 'fuck it' and just move to Milwaukee or Pittsburgh where I could basically retire (not at all a slight, just the extremely rare affordable urbanist cities). I can't imagine what it would be like with kids.

If you pretend to care about the environment, you need to be at your city council meetings demanding high-density, mixed-use, housing in your neighborhood.
You're wrong. There are 9-seater craft that already had maiden voyages at the start of the year. Those will just increase in size and range. Progress in tech is moving very fast including in electric airplanes and France could accomplish it's claimed goals around emissions without bans.
You are probably reading what data the DoJ requested.
Further down in the blogpost (in the "Details" section) they state that they don't have a lot of the data requested and exactly what kind of data they could and did provide. Addresses are not requested by PyPI.
You can in theory couple two whole sets together, but in practice you can't do this either because you need to rebuild all the stations along the way so the platforms are longer. You often can't even build only the busy stations bigger and seat people going to smaller stations on the one car that stops as the train will hang out of the station onto track and so some other train not stopping can't get by it.
And they state very clearly they don't have this information. In fact, PyPi seems to retain a very reasonable set of information, strictly related to the service itself. I found this disclosure to be entirely refreshing.

Wonder how this compares with deepgram offering. has anyone used/tried/compared or even read enough literature to compare. The WER rates showed in deepgram are still better than the largest MMS and the specific use case based fine-tuned models (zoom meetings, financial calls etc) probably make a bigger difference. WDYT ?
If you're so inclined, you're welcome to make an anarcho-oriented package management system yourself. PyPi has never claimed to be one, though.
> The PCM treats the orbits of two objects as circular, concentric, and coplanar.

Keeping the coplanar assumption, in common with previous estimates, may be a problem. Mercury happens to have an orbital inclination of 7°, second only to Pluto's at 1x7°. Mercury also orbits in an ellipse with an eccentricity of 0.21. Again, this is second only to Pluto, with an orbital eccentricity of 0.25.

I'd like to see a model that takes into account inclination and eccentricity. For the most accurate model, the concentric assumption also fails. Strictly speaking, none of the planets orbit the sun. Rather, the sun and the planet both orbit the barycenter of the sun-planet system, and that will be different for each planet. While the difference is negligible for most planets, for Jupiter the barycenter is quite a distance from the center of the sun: at 1.07 times the diameter of the sun. That's just shy of 100,000km above the surface of the sun.

You may not have acid reflux if it acid never gets into your throat. I have at least a yearly episode of waking up choking and the epiglottis is stuck shut protecting my lungs from acid. It's horrible to wake up like that but am always fine after the episode and yet every time it happens I can't shake off the sheer panic I'm in. I could say I got used to it and yet when it happens it's horrifying.

Good on the PyPi folks. This is an incredibly well done disclosure, an example to be sure.
If you read the whole thing, it's pretty clear they don't have the person's full name and address, and thus did not provide it. They do mention that it will be needed for organizations that sign up for billing when that feature becomes available.

Other than possibly IP addresses, it seems like the only information they had available to disclose was close to the bare minimum needed to operate the service.

That might get PyPI into trouble especially with a gag order which we can assume that they are forced to obey and forced not to talk about.

Whatever you do, make sure you are on a path where you aren't relying on your body working right in your mid-40s to keep a roof over your head. People's health varies, but as a rule: 40+ hours a week of manual labor feels good in your 20s, okay in your 30s, brutal in your 40s and unsustainable in your 50s.

For a long time, people thought closures were only practical in garbage collected languages. I've used closures in C. (Against my will, basically. It was a C library that was best-of-breed and there was no other choice.) Getting the memory management right on them was effectively impossible. You know where the values are created for sure, but creating clean specifications of when the closures were destroyed quickly becomes insane in any real program. Very simple in a 20-line sample, very complicated when you got a long-lived callback interacting with multiple other resources that may or may not have their own "interesting" lifespans.

That Rust can do closures at all, do them in a sufficiently useful way that they are practical, and still maintain its safety guarantees without garbage collection is, in my opinion, in the top five accomplishments of the language. Prior to it actually happening I think it's fair to say most programming language developers would have said it's not possible, that you'll either need GC or the requisite type system will be impractically complex. At least their quirkiness generally fits the rest of the language and isn't much "new" quirkiness.
