Free speech and freedom in general were, not more than 7 years ago, the highest principles of democratic societies. Civil rights were considered universal and inalienable, untouchable. (The foundation of civil rights is protecting the minority from the majority, protecting the doing and expressing of uncomfortable things. Now Orwellian rhetoric used by the Reactionary movement talks about the 'rights' of the majority, resulting in anti-rights - the rationalization of oppression.)

Nobody speaks for them now. I think much of the world yearns for a leader who will stand up for them. Somehow they are cowed - by what? What is the overwhelming movement that has silenced them and cowed all these free people?

Hello spurious regression
Another "blast from the past" for me too..

Your "career calculus" article has been top of mind for me recently as I've talked about it a bunch of people. Amusing how those core concepts don't change much.
I would suggest reading up on the difference between the household and wholesale electricity market. German households pay among the most expensive electricity in the EU while the commercial wholesale market is at the lower end.

The difference comes from taxes and fees.

Germany briefly hit 45 cents/kWh last year due to the war. We are getting back to normal and in March the average price was 10 cents/kWh.

In other words, even during the tail ends of winter and war induced supply crunches the average price was too low to support nuclear.

New built nuclear is having energy crisis prices all year around.
> Ostensibly it's been written to crack down on the type of attention-grabbing climate protests we've seen recently with people blocking motorway traffic, disrupting major public events etc., but the law contains some preposterously vague wording that should alarm anyone who cares about the right to protest in a democracy.

Is the ostensible reason sufficient? Isn't that just as oppressive?

It’s not hard. Just takes a little practice, right/good equipment, and good ingredients. My main tip is get them live. Get them purged and cleaned if possible. Otherwise just another simple skill to learn but definitely don’t want poopy crawfish. I find people devour the potatoes and corn. Then about 4 lbs of crawfish per person (some people will eat none and some will eat 10 lbs so hard to estimate).

You can probably get the decent starter recipe online as it’s pretty basic and you’ll just start with a premix of spices. I wouldn’t recommend DIY approach for a bit on spices. Do a couple practice runs to build muscle memory and adjust how spicy(hot) you like it.

I grew up around it but even still I had to watch some YouTube videos to spark my memory of what the adults were actually doing. So just invest some time there as well.

Good luck with the boils!

Edit: to add, I also have to drive a bit. It was partially the genesis for this as I realized I somehow crossed this border where I was no longer near the gulf coast but inland and although I’m in same state it’s actually quite a different culture where I am versus closer to the coast.

You can't train a 100T model with "only" 100TB of VRAM, you need for each parameters 4 bytes + 4 bytes (gradient) + 8 bytes (AdamW optimizer) + forward activations that depends on the batch size, sequence length etc, maybe more if you use mixed precision and also you need to distribute the weights.
The law is interpreted, not executed. It has intention that will be applied by judges and juries. Sometimes you can find loopholes in a law if a judge/jury is willing to follow a specific, often narrow interpretation of the law, but that's harder than it seems at first glance.
Exploding glass shower screens are a thing. Usually due to damage to edge during installation (or manufacturing defect) and/or change in temperature.
I haven't heard this phrase (rather, I've heard "code is law" in reference to a subset of smart contract exploits that could also be considered "creative arbitrage opportunities" if you squint enough)

But in this case, the person you're responding to is pointing out that law has the ability to be interpreted and even "created" ad-hoc through that interpretation, unlike code which needs to be updated to be changed.
How do you manage the coherence of the entirety of the tickets? E.g. how do you make sure that the tasks of tickets don't overlap or that there is more than one ticket for a task?

*edit: For me, backlog views are not enough to structure tickets in a meaningful way. Does Plane have a view to fluidly manage all open tickets?

Look into the case law. It happens.

And what “certain pay out?” The company sues the former employee, if the employee wins they get to keep their job, effectively making that job cost millions. The employee would have to countersue, and that would carry quite a lot of risk of failure even if the employee wins the original suit.

> I think that - unlike many gyms and other fitness communities - it's very welcoming to non-conformistist and people who don't look like typical gym junkies.

You know, people say this a lot about "typical" weight lifting focused gyms, but I've found nothing but the opposite. There are certainly some people who are in there that are judgy (the are everywhere) but the vast majority are either there to do their workouts and leave, or are very friendly. And I've done most of my training in gyms in Manhattan and Paris, two places not known for friendly people.
It means that "the law" isn't rigorously defined enough to execute on a computer. There's a reason we have judges, juries, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and all the other accoutrements of the judicial system. And that reason is that there is a need for human judgment and discretion when it comes to interpreting and executing the law.

So no, you're probably not going to "get away with murder" due to an obscure and questionable loophole like the so-called "zone of death". Judges are going to apply their judgment, decide that no one involved in crafting the law intended such an outcome, and that the equitable thing to do is "some compromise that fit the situation as best as possible".

> some people insist on using functional tactics EVERYWHERE

It’s difficult to relate to this without specific examples (I don’t think I agree with the sentiment on balance, but I could also imagine all kinds of obviously-bad things), but FP really does transcend other programming paradigms. Languages such as Java and C++ code definitely do benefit from FP approaches, even if these languages are perhaps not the best at facilitating the approach.
Yes, it would actually help so much if F# libraries could be painlessly used in C#, it might be all that was needed.
Unfortunately it's not the case.
Maybe if discriminated unions are ever added to C# some real cross compatibility could be made,

"Most" (I mean "all", but meh - I'm sure there's some obscure exception somewhere) parsers will have the ability to swap between a strict DTO interpretation of some data, and the raw underlying data which is generally going to be something like a map of maps that resolves to strings at the leaf nodes. Both have their uses. The same can also be done easily enough by hand as well, if necessary.
The IT/Software world tends use "Engineer" somewhat differently to the outside usage. So there is some dissonance when terms from Software and Non-Software world overlap.

In an industrial plant Systems Engineer is a specialized discipline in the vein of Mechanical/Chemical/Electrical etc. Engineer.

My best attempt to explain it would be a System Engineer has a multi-disciplinary holistic view of the entire "system".

In my world the focus is process specific i.e each systems engineer would oversee one particular engineering "process".

For example with a fluidized bed reactor, Mechanical engineer would be familiar with mechanical systems (valves, hydraulics etc). Electrical engineer would know about PLCs, Interlocks, limit switches, Chemical Engineer would know about things like Chromatographs, Gas Flow meters etc.

The Systems engineer knows the big picture how pieces are integrated into the whole working system.
Rule of thumb is that you need ~20 tokens per parameter. The average token size is ~4 characters, probably more for larger models where you want larger dictionary, but for simplicity I'll say it's 5 bytes to make numbers round. So you need 100 bytes of text data per parameter, or 10 PB for 100T model. Now, recent research says that you can reuse the same data like 4 times before it becomes hindering performance but it doesn't help much in our case.

But in this case what is really ridiculous is the compute requirement. The required compute for optimal model growth roughly quadratically (both your model and your data grow linearly). So for 100T model you need 1e30 FLOPs. This machine gives you 1e18 FLOPs per second. It will take 30k years to train this model on one of these (or 30k of these to train it in a year, but then utilization will start kicking in).
Sure, but the crab trademark is worthless. And you wouldn't need to fork the compiler to do that. The community, if it wished, could have formally or informally adopted <crab->foo as a naming scheme.
This is basically how it has always been in Australia.

Someone’s freedom to protest is not more important than someone else’s freedom to use that same space to get to work, live their life, etc. Protests have always needed to be booked in advance and are essentially always approved (with police protection included for neo nazis etc).

You seem to be describing the freedom of America (a right to a gun, but not a right to be free from the fear of getting shot) but it’s not like that everywhere, see even more extreme examples like the “guilty until proven innocent” case of libel in Australia.

I’m not saying either way is better or worse, just that this is the status quo really for Australia.
The whole point of WASM was to provide fine grained capability based security in a portable environment. This made it safer than previous sandboxes, specifically because your code couldn't just open a random file in the host environment.

I think this is a very bad idea, and should be rejected. If not... we'll just take another 10 years until capabilities show up again, continuing the Sisyphean cycle.

> What is the overwhelming movement that has silenced them and cowed all these free people?

Media consolidation. A massive percentage of the media in democracies has been bought up by organizations who benefit from the suppression of free speech. No leader who wants to keep getting elected dares go against the wishes of these oligarchs.
Yeah 100%. It's much faster now, and I am almost certain they haven't made that much of an improvement in efficiency nor have they scaled it up to be that fast, if that's even how it works.

I think I read when it was released it was 32K tokens, then quickly scaled back to 8K tokens. I'm guessing now that they've further reduced it. Maybe it's 6000 tokens vs. GPT-3.5's 4K? I don't know. But it's certainly noticeably worse at every task I give it.
Travel and experience the architecture behind TV series Squid Game
What I thought hilarious, when the author was describing a series of tools that were maintained for a long period of time.. that was the complex system. No attempts were made to reduce the complexity, because the cost was not worth the increased value. Maybe that specific part, realizing the business driver of systems, is what makes a Systems Engineer.

And even though your specific application won't EOL, there are many times where features are deprecated and that complex system must be altered. Maybe I'm just grizzled in my old age, but it seems like this author was writing about Systems Engineering while claiming not to know what it is..
I just tried Bard based on this comment, and it's really, really bad.

Ask HN: Why doesn't Stripe allow you to get BIN numbers?
BIN numbers (first 6 digits of a credit card number) are used for everything from fraud prevention to showing a user which bank their payment card was from.

Seemingly all other payment processors give BIN information as part of their webhooks and APIs, but Stripe does not.

Is there a reason for this? Different interpretation of PCI compliance?
This isn't "functional code" in the sense of functional programming.

Three questions.

1. How hard would it be to get 19 years worth of Gmail to Fastmail?

2. I have 4 different domains worth of mail all coming in to one mailbox? Would this be an insane cost on Fastmail?

3. For those of you who have already switched from Gmail -> Fastmail, is there anything you miss after the move?
Not that this is the right forum to re-try her case, but I'm actually shocked she got 11 years and I might even argue that is far more than she deserves if she was acquitted on the patient side. The problem appears that these statutes are based on dollar amounts of the fraud -- $140 million according to https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/elizabeth-holmes-senten.... Yes that's a lot of money but the investors themselves, how many of them were really damaged in any meaningful way? A few billionaires -- DeVos, Murdoch, Walton -- lost many millions, but what is that, 2 or 3% of their net worth? I'm sure there are some less-wealthy people on the investor list as well but I'm guessing nobody got their life savings wiped out. Defrauding the public, as opposed to some very wealthy investors, seems like a lot more serious crime.

In hindsight the 40GB of SRAM feels kind of quaint, but nevertheless their very fat nodes let them get away with more than Nvidia could with A100s, as you can see in the slides.

If you countersue a former employer that is suing you to enforce a non-compete agreement, that would probably be a significant element of the countersuit, yes.

Hope you have the funds to see that through to completion including all the appeals! It’s not like tortious interference is a crime the state would prosecute—just like violating a non-compete isn’t a crime where the state would prosecute. Civil actions are handled via lawsuits and they’re expensive.
Not smart enough, I don’t even get your implication here. I’m fine with that though, doesn’t seem additive to the discussion
Let me guess: the "woke fine-tuning" deteriorates quality of the model. Seriously, this lecturing style of GPT is totally useless. You ask it something vaguely unwoke, it lectures you about your style, you explain what it didn't understand about your request, it appologizes and does vaguely what you originally requested. This sort of deture is totally useless and a waste of my time.

To stay with the terminology, if I had an assistant that went out of their way to tell me the supposed errors of my way, I'd fire that person and get a new one. Same for GPTs: Once there is a good-quality non-woke GPT instance anywhere, I will cancel my OpenAI account immediately and move.
> Curious how the "vaccine-skeptic" crowd only directs its skepticism in one direction.

That's because the other direction is called "the narrative", not "skepticism".
As I reconsider, there isn't anything known about midjourney as it's closed source and run by a "company" - except, it's doing it's work very good.

But. What about taking a look into an other, may be open source model? The inner workings won't be too different from midjourney. So, the difference is then in training data?

Just that simple huh? Just yeah, use what they use and figure out how to copy that and open source it huh? I'm sure you're the first to think of this idea. The community applauds your efforts and ambition.
But if a product does not comply with EU standards, it is illegal to sell/import/use it in the EU regardless of if the trademark owner allows its sale - it's not up to them.

So yes, deputizing trademark owners to police imports, on the off chance that maybe sometimes their decisions will align with other consumer-protection laws, is always fully anti-consumer.
I just want to highlight that a lot of traditional western philosophers have a blind spot where they are trying to make sense of the world from an individuals perspective… and I want to make the case that maybe meaning can not be invented for each individual but derived from looking at humanity as a whole from an evolutionary biologist perspective. At least That would be a more modern and scientific approach to understanding concepts like consciousness.

Although I’m happy to be wrong.
You're wrong. IANAL, but I've spent thousands of hours in criminal court. The courts regularly dismiss murder cases on constitutional grounds, despite the murderer having clearly committed the murder.

I would say murders are the most dismissed cases, simply because most other crimes end in plea deals, whereas a lot of murders are taken to trial because the sentence differential between the plea deal (which might be say, 20 years on a murder) vs. the likely sentence following a jury trial (which might be say, 30 years) is irrelevant because both are pretty much life sentences and defendants would rather try their luck at spending 10 years in a pretrial detention facility to fight the case and win on say a constitutional violation.
Seems like a common theme that people prefer the F# language, but try to explain reasons why it hasn't succeeded from a technical view. I think the reasons IMO aren't technical but what the author has stated - C# is probably worse (that's my opinion) but people who are working in it don't see the pain. Its marketing, the vibe, etc. Most of the tech issues people state wouldn't be there if adoption was bigger.

This is in contrast to Java which for a significant time wasn't showing any evolution which sparked many alt langs on that platform. Sometimes things succeed but silently, and sometimes things that should succeed just don't and maybe there isn't a real explanation. In fact I think the latter across most products is actually the most common outcome, not just in programming languages.

TL;DR I agree with the article, it suffers from an adoption chasm. Pain and herd safety are important especially when people are considering their career progression.

To your dot points:

* I think F# has .NET which is a "proven" and good enough ecosystem as well. You won't get stuck by picking F# even if it means using a C# library. Have to do the same in Scala/Kotlin and the like typically as well.

* Editor has caught up, my surprise is that you can write with Vim and kinda get away with it - only find that works in terser/scripting like languages anyway unlike C#. It has wrappers and libraries for doing things in a more F# FP manner if you wish although when I was doing F# I avoided them (i.e. I avoid things like ScalaX most of the time too).

* F# has a good scripting story; I've seen F# scripts used quite often by people even if coding in C# to check things and REPL program.

* These days F# just works too mostly. `dotnet new webapi/console/etc -lang F#` and you have a webapi for example.

* There are F# libraries around for similar things (Http, Collections, Async seq, etc). They are probably maintained to the level they realistically need to be, I would argue they still do their singular job quite well. At some point a library just does what it needs to do.

There's things I prefer in the .NET ecosystem as well - value types, inlining, etc. Having said that I seen quite a few people use it professionally to good success but they often don't brag about it and are usually quite senior and reserved about their language choice often citing other worries/risks to a project's success.
I think the use case is a family using the same electric toothbrush with a different head for each member.

They used to provide color rings to attach to the head, in order to differencing.
> For example, it outlaws "intentionally or recklessly causing public nuisance" - a protest that doesn't cause "nuisance" isn't much of a protest, is it?

Well, it's a balancing act.

The people who are being impacted by the "nuisance" might disagree about the protesters distinction between "protest" and "nuisance".

Everyone should be free to air their grievances; however the right to voice your grievance does not automatically trump someone else's right to ignore it.
I'm not sure why you are being down-voted but I have suspicions.

But you are not wrong. Sure there are lots of Indian labor shops that have tarnished the reputation of specifically-Indian outsourcing, but there are also plenty of -very- smart Indians (and others globally.)

I get that this out-sourcing harms workers in high-cost-of-living countries, but then again they're the ones who promote remote-work, while at the same time demanding salaries well above their country median.
