Your occam is incorrectly structured. Power/comms is irrelevant to the equation in question, imploding, and doesn't add.

It imploded later requires only one failure (the structural failure), just as the relatively short time duration option requires only one failure. Right away is also a later event.

We have no way of knowing what its structural true condition was in terms of whether it was more likely to make it a very short duration or something more like a day.
If you have a good handle on undergraduate math material I highly recommend graduate math material. You will "restart" math in a sense and start building up those building blocks piece by piece. If you have a shaky understanding of a derivative that's fine because you will do epsilon-delta proofs until your eyes bleed in a Real Analysis course.

Edit: I didn't have the laws/properties of logarithms memorized/understood until maybe 3-4 years into my Math degree. I could have learned it sooner probably, but I just had an aversion to it and would desperately translate any problem into exponentials and work with those instead. I definitely sympathise with the desire to "restart" Math.

I remember when I was talking about some code my team wrote once and we'd managed to get an operation down from 6 hours to like 5 minutes.

Another manager said to me (fairly with hindsight) "If you get something down from two hours to one hour, that's an opimisation. Going from 6 hours to 5 minutes means it just wasn't finished."
Cities with expanded funding for homeless populations are the ones with the issues. When I moved from Phoenix to Seattle in 2009 I was surprised by the level of homelessness there. The major difference: lots of support for urban homeless. I moved back and Phoenix has adopted many of the same concepts, and guess what? The homeless population is exploding here now as well.

I’m all for affordable housing and work programs and other things that allow those who have fallen on hard times ways to help themselves out. I’m also for psychiatric care for those who have mental health issues that won’t be able to help themselves. None of that involves safe spaces for recreational drug use. That only keeps people on their state or drags them down and provides incentive for others to follow (as evidenced by Seattle, Portland, SF, LA, etc.).

There are lots or organizations that will give people a place to stay, especially woman and children. The good ones will also have educational help and employment services as well. None of that needs to include trip sitters, needle exchanges, narcan, or paraphernalia vending machines.
> I have a number like 1.4349999999999998 (0.1025 * 14), one would expect it to round up to 1.44

No one wouldn't. Maybe your domain has very specific, unorthodox rounding requirements? The most common rounding algorithms only look at the (n+1)th digit when rounding to n decimal places.

ie: 1.4349999999999998 rounded to 2 decimal places considers only 1.434. 4 is less than 5, so the result is correctly 1.43.

Edit: I just realized I missed the forest for the trees. The original calculation should have resolved to 1.435, which would round to 1.44.

I don't think your solution would work in the general case for floating point numbers, where numbers could be much smaller than your rounding attempts. Maybe if you based it on `value * Number.EPSILON`, or something?

you can download a html page from some website, rename it to `.svelte` and it will mostly work just fine with some minor modifications like remove the html wrapper tag and rename `<head>` to `<svelte:head>`.

I don't think the same thing apply for any other popular frontend frameworks.

I love Svelte because prototyping a new feature in it is really really trivial, even with keyboard interactions and animation effects.

I don't believe in the "LSD binds to something in the brain and this causes flashbacks". LSD obviously binds to something in the brain during the trip, like all psychoactive substances, but after that, it is gone. LSD degrades relatively easily, you only get micrograms of it and there are known metabolic pathways.

A more convincing theory for flashbacks is that they are similar to PTSD. LSD can give really intense and memorable experiences, and in the case of a bad trip, they can be considered traumatic. Symptoms show similarities too. Essentially, flashbacks are just memories, good or bad, and in the worst cases, so bad as to haunt you for years.

Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) is not like flashbacks. As the name suggests, it affects perception, i.e. senses, commonly in the form of visual noise, distinct from what is experienced during a trip. Think something like tinnitus. We know it exists, but the details are unclear.

The info is generally available. It is just old school and somewhat of a lost art.

There’s lists of publications by trade. You could buy ad space on multiple publications or individually. The model was $n per square inch of space.

The trick was finding the lists. General business magazines used to have advertisements for companies that ran/owned the lists. So it was somewhat accessible to the general public.

Cost was similar to how ad words are calculated. So the more niche you’d go the better chance you had of manageable costs (unless your niche was super expensive for some reason).

Effort is relative. Once you knew how the marketing channels worked everything else was fairly straightforward. The ads that worked were just left on autopilot. There weren’t redesigns or none of the shit that’s done today. Ads were left alone. Tracking was even rather simple. You’d have a special code, phone number, or mailbox that tied the ad to the order. Simple stuff.

You can replicate all of these today and still make a tidy sum. But you won’t do it behind a computer. Gotta go out into the wild and talk with people about all kinds.
That really depends. I used it on the same machine and it was fine enough on linux and completely unusable on windows. Same extensions, same project.

Spain for instance does not impose any legal restriction as to what you knowingly choose to put into your own body.

Not only is possession of any drug for personal use without an intent to distribute not a criminal offence in Spain, neither is consuming said drugs in the privacy of your own home. There is also no legal restriction on growing cannabis or psychedelic mushrooms on private property outside of public view, as long as the amounts are small enough that there is no reason to suspect an intent to distribute it.

I think Discord rolling out forum-like features is a delayed reaction to users treating Discord like a forum. The pandemic catapulted Discord from a gaming-centric platform to a generic social platform, and many users who joined during this time period had very little experience with IRCs, forums, or VoIP software. For lack of a better description, these users were "using Discord wrong" by treating it as a knowledge repository. Forum features are meant to cater to user behaviour, by making knowledge retrieval slightly less painful.
> I don't understand the people who don't understand Discord's value proposition.

I think they fall into one of three buckets:

1. They have an extremely strong hatred for Electron and let that hatred overcome any actual thought about the product.

2. They're trying to use Discord for something it's not designed to be. Discord is not a replacement for Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media. It is primarily a text/voice chat service. It's a replacement for IRC, Mumble, Skype, Ventrilo, etc.

3. They don't see the need for Discord when IRC still exists because they completely miss all the short-comings that IRC has that a modern audience expects. For example, missing a conversation because you happened to not be online is inexcusable these days, but more importantly, people expect the ability to post images directly to chat.

I mean really, the more I think about it, the more I wonder why it took so long for something like Discord to exist. We should have had something like it 10 years prior.

From David Pogue's report on his trip in 2022:

https://unsungscience.com/news/back-to-titanic-part-1/

Excerpt from the transcript:

But what if the hydraulic system breaks? Well, then they have roll weights.

KYLE: Ah, so, we’ve got these weights here on the side, these are roll weights, we can actually roll the sub and those come off, and that gains us some buoyancy to come back to the surface.

These are pipes that sit on a shelf that juts out from either side of the sub, held in place only by gravity. If everyone inside the sub shifts their weight to one side, the sub tips enough to let these pipes roll off.

If that doesn’t work, there are ballast bags, full of metal shot, hanging below the sub.

KYLE: These bags down below, we drop those off using motors and electric fingers.

OK. But what if the electronics go out, and the hydraulics fail, and everyone inside has passed out unconscious?

KYLE: There’s fusible links within these that actually can dissolve and come back in time if it’s drop off.

Fusible links are self-dissolving bonds. After 16 hours in seawater, those bonds disintegrate, the weight bags drop off automatically, and you go back to the surface.

How can you prove that without putting them back out on the road first? Surely, you'd agree that more is needed than just unit testing?
What you, and many others, are saying is that because we can't predict the output of an LLM given some input, we don't understand how the output is generated. But this is clearly overloading "understand" to mean "predict", which you do also in your comment.

And that's an overloading that makes no sense. Clearly, I can't predict the output of a random number generator, but that doesn't mean that I don't understand the RNG, or how its output is produced!

The same goes for the simplest of physical systems that produce chaotic behaviour, for example as far as I can tell there are pretty clear descriptions of the really simple rules that control the flocking behaviour of birds, even though it's not possible to predict how, say, a starling murmuration is going to move around.

In a much more fundamental way, "prediction" is not "understanding" because "prediction" is what we do when we guess, whereas "understanding" is what we do when we calculate. And of course we can't predict the output of an LLM given some input, nor calculate it, without a trained LLM. But we damn well sure know the calculations used to train an LLM, and to predict its output once trained. We have mathematical formulae thereof. And is there some more complete way that we understand how the world works than putting it all down in maths? What other "understanding" could we possibly have, that is missing?

What's really missing is the ability to debug an LLM while it's producing its predictions, in the same way we can debug a program while it's executing. But that is not a mystery: that's because the engineering of those systems is defective and it has created an uncontrollable monster.
I shouldn't need to point this out, but this is plainly nonsense. Do you not see how people might not mind paying for e.g. a public park even if they don't personally use it, but might object to paying the exact same amount of money to upgrade the pool at a country club they're not a member of? There absolutely is a difference.

If there were no difference, why would we ever argue over how public money is spent? It's all the same, right?

The last B2B I did we built a product for a couple of “whales” and then struggled making money off of the long tail. They had such peculiar business rules we had to thread a needle to get our top three working. We had one team pull a RedHat on us, essentially forking the code to make big changes for other customers, and didn’t tell us about it. When we started refactoring and rearchitecting to fix some of our biggest problems, we broke all of their stuff. Way to communicate guys.

In the end it turned out the goal of the company was to sell it to deep pockets. Having prestigious customers is how you do that. But the employees including some of the salespeople thought we were trying to serve an entire global industry. If that had been the case we should have started with customers about 1 std below median size, and built momentum toward landing large customers.

Because what happened is that we had contracts with the big companies we couldn’t net a profit off of, and they liked to keep paying what they were already paying. If we were solid with mid sized customers first, we could have asked for more from the biggest ones because we were selling a mature product. Instead they bought a fixer upper and wanted to pay the same as we fixed issue and added tons of functionality.

> But holy how, that chess game really pushed the limits!

Having 4 kilobytes of ROM made it relatively easy, I think. If one ignores draws by repeated positions (which I think all small chess programs do), board state can easily be stored in 67 bytes or so (64 for the board proper plus four bits for whether various castlings are allowed, plus a byte indicating the square for en passant opportunity, plus a byte for counting for the 50-move rule), leaving 61 for the search algorithm.

I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1K_ZX_Chess, with 672 bytes of code and therefore 352 bytes of RAM for storing game state _and_ screen data might be more impressive.

I would have to see at what level both programs play to be sure, though.

A fair few comments here, but none address the specific situation in Alice Springs.

Alice Springs is the major settlement of the 'Red Centre' of Australia, and is home to many Indigenous Australians. Indigenous Australians were culturally and genetically separated from the rest of humanity for tens of thousands of years, and, in a hungry continent where no fruit laid on the ground long enough to ferment, never interacted with alcohol until European settlement. Indigenous Australian societies had extremely limited material cultures because their environment afforded them such scarce resources with which to create one.

European colonisation and subsequent attempts to both 'civilise' and exterminate Indigenous Australians were utterly deleterious to their palaeolithic culture. They no longer needed to hunt and gather for sustenance, and yet those in remote communities found it difficult to find meaningful participation in the economy that now provided for them (often through outright discrimination). Combine this with the introduction of alcohol, which intoxicates Indigenous Australians more effectively due to a complete lack of any tolerance for it, as well as other intoxicating substances, and we have a recipe for autogenocide, nearly as effective than the previous attempts through the Stolen Generations.

Petrol stations in outback Australia sell a particular blend of fuel known as 'Opal fuel'[0]: it contains less of the aromatic compounds that give the 'high' to petrol sniffers, which is also rife amongst Indigenous communities. Kava, a mild narcotic from the South Pacific island nations and popular amongst their diaspora in Australia, can only be imported into Australia in limited conditions (only for personal use, and only 2 kg per individual arrival) because it was mixed with red wine in Indigenous communities for an extra 'kick'.

Policies for improving conditions for Indigenous Australians in remote communities vary from the ineffectual to the authoritarian. (The 'Intervention' mentioned in the article is an example of the latter.) Allowing communities to be locally regulated by their Elders is a compromise, and the basis of the programme described in the article.

post script: The above is a description of the situation in remote, outback communities, and administrative centres for those communities, like the towns and cities of the Northern Territory, such as Alice Springs and Darwin. The obvious question, then, is why don't Indigenous Australians move to more prosperous towns and cities? There are two answers. One is the poor life outcomes for those who historically did move to those areas, for example, the slums of Redfern and Blacktown[1] in Sydney. The other comes from the traditional spirituality or Lore of Indigenous communities: they don't believe that they own the land, but rather that the land owns them.
