I do have a Windows machine with an nVidia GPU (RTX 2070 Super), but I don't use it anymore (bought it years ago).

ML on the cloud is way more convenient because you can trivially adjust your cost based on what you're doing: Training? spin up something big/expensive. Inference? cheaper (less VRAM) is usually fine.

I also like that I can run multiple instances simultaneously, something that would be prohibitively expensive if I had to have multiple machines sitting around waiting for me to use them.
I find that approaching tasks from the type-first perspective can really help illuminate the problem. I can't imagine trying to code without having both types at the forefront of my mind and all of the IDE's helpful type-related features.
No, because the profits would go towards taxes instead of profits, but that doesn’t lower prices. If you do lower prices, you would end up with shortages.
XFS can be grown but not shrunk, or has that changed recently?

Did you mean EXT4? It can be both grown and shrunk.
I have dominion over all my possessions, but I treat them with respect. In like manner when given authority over people, I treat them with dignity and respect.

I can't imagine the spirit of such words carries with it the grotesqueries and indignities we're wont to inflict on our fellow sufferers. Nor for that matter the free reign over our environment. Instead I would espouse that the spirit is the maintenance of their well-being. As might a parent, or a landowner with some interest in his lot.

It uses Claude from anthropic which has a 100k context window. It typically stuffs the 15 most relevant files into the prompt to spit out the output. It’s shockingly fast.

I really like it for figuring out how something in my code base is done, like figuring out where exactly rate limits happen and what service we use to track them.

django has 500K lines of python and it's considered well written and stable, so it's possible to do python with large code base I think. oddly, django does not seem to be even using type hints, new features such as dataclasses was not found from the source base either, still it just works well somehow.
Oddly the Economist podcast had a guy on this week saying the exact opposite.

I've noticed this sometimes where it replaces proper nouns with a synonym, e.g. "Bill Gates" becomes "Invoice Gates." Unfortunately that pattern only applies to the most bottom-of-the-barrel SEO spam. I expect ChatGPT output will be more subtle, but if a lazy spammer doesn't obfuscate it enough, there will still be some tells - e.g. the five paragraph essay format with a conclusion beginning with "overall..."

I had an extremely smart and communicative cat. she monitored things and let me know when they were out of place, was able to clearly communicate complicated ideas, put her toys away in her toy box, and told on the other cats when they were doing something she knew wasn't approved of.

my current cat is what I would consider above average, understands over 100 words, is very emotionally intelligent, and can communicate fairly well. she seems to have about 20-30 different vocalizations that we have agreed on, and is able to communicate that way; though not in the way of the other cat that could communicate ideas.

of course, I've also had cats that were either on the dumb side, or didn't care enough about dealing with the humans to make themselves appear as smart.

unfortunately, until we can define "consciousness" and measure it well, it will still be our own ideas on what is intelligent or conscious that we either observe with bias or make an emotional "guess" about.
Nice. Looking forward for v2
> Not sure about diffusion models.

Diffusion models are still approximate density estimators, not explicit. They lose information because you don't have an unique mapping to the subsequent step. Got to think about the relationships of your image and preimage.

So while they have better distribution that GANs, they still aren't reliable for dataset synthesis. But they are better than GANs for that (GANs will be very mean focused, which is why we had such high quality images from them but we also see huge diversity issues and amplification of biases).

If you are looking for something with a little more heft there is https://astrobites.org/2023/06/28/drop-the-bass-evidence-for...

Astrobites articles are usually written by post-grad students working in the relevant area, with the writing level targeted at undergrad astrophysics students. This one was written by NANOGrav collab members, all (or at least most) of whom directly worked on the results that will be all over the press today and tomorrow, and maybe hits a level for an advanced undergrad student or so.
Also the Ars article links to the actual papers, which should really be standard practice.

The journal these papers are published in is open access: no paywall.
This has been tried multiple times. Micropayments just don’t work well. People don’t want to create an account, break out their CC, and enter their info just for a 5c transaction. You also can’t even profitably charge a CC 5c, so you need to charge something like $5. Unlike music, most people can envision consuming $5 worth of news media unless they already have a strong preference for a publication like the NYT or WSJ.
For what it's worth, Genesis doesn't specifically mention eating meat until after the fall.

Genesis 1 says "I have given you every plant yielding seed ... and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food." Likewise to the animals, "I have given every green plant for food."
My experience of porting Javascript code to Typescript (or calling into Javascript from Typescript and figuring out the correct types to pass) is very similar.

Thousands of files all become filled with very obvious bugs once you enable a basic type checker, which then helps brand Typescript as "too much effort" by those who normally write Javascript because now they need to deal with their buggy code. Luckily you can just explicitly cast all of your types without checking and hope that nobody notices!

When you ask people to get their typing right, someone will use buzzwords like "rapid prototyping" and remind you that features are more important than fixing the existing product as long as nobody complains about the bugs, and that's that. Also, Typescript is hard, apparently.

Untyped legacy code sucks. It's one of the reasons I detest working with languages like Javascript, Python, and PHP. At least Python and PHP have types these days, making Javascript objectively inferior.

The problem is that the feedback mechanism is far too easily compromised (both by intentional means and unintentional ones).

In order for such a scheme to function properly, the ad network has to be able to tell how many sales were made as a direct result of the click. The feedback loop needs to be nearly perfect. As things stand, it is terribly easy for ad purchasers to game, and not everybody is honest.

I agree that the concept is ideal, but I have yet to see an implementation that actually works without a great deal of additional effort (and a lot of human attention, and many many arguments…).
We dont even know what consciousness is, or how to define it, but somehow we know thousands of species has it.

Personally, I like EW Schumacher's definition (a guide to the perplexed): animals are conscious because they can be knocked unconscious. Very practical.
(2020).

Things have arguably become even nicer (although slightly more divergent between the two) since then: Python's `Optional[T]` can now be written as `T | None`, and the core container types can now be annotated directly (e.g. `List[T]` becomes `list[T]`).

Combined via pyO3[1], Python and Rust are a real joy to write together.

This is inherent to fractional reserve banking - not all banking. Demand deposits should not be lent out, if banks want to make loans then the capital should come from longer term assets not demand deposits. This isn't hard, it's just far less profitable.
I don't understand the basis for the grandparent comment, that is, why is the use of rust such a surprise? I only use dynamic scripting languages (so I can't speak from experience) but from what I understand rust is a great language; extremely fast and easier/safer to work with than c++. Why wouldn't it be a good choice for OP's CLI?

Produce worse articles, get less money and customers for them.
In my (Tiny East European) country, all the main outlets have tried this. Eventually, one had to pay close to the price of a whole printed issue to read a single article online. By now, essentially all outlets have ditched this model, pushing readers towards monthly subscriptions.

Might be different in the US, considering its scope, but around here, this "buy me a coffee" type model just doesn't seem to work.
I haven’t had that experience in the Netherlands. At least the church (related) groups I went to were always happy to include anyone new (religious or not). Probably partially because they were always at the brink of starving from lack of members, but…
I don't know much about VFX but that's certainly true in much of the scuba diving industry. They find young people who love to dive and want to make it a career, and sucker them into paying for training to become dive masters and instructors. Then those people get stuck working long hours for miniscule wages, always under constant pressure to cut corners on safety while trying to sell more equipment and training courses to customers. There are good dive shops and instructors who don't play that game but they are a minority.

In general be cautious about getting into any industry where people are there more for love than for money. That tends to create exploitive situations.

"I wasn't conscious when that or this happened" implies that consciousness is just perception. Neutrinos fly straight thru our bodies, but we don't perceive that, so we aren't conscious of that reality. We can be conscious of our thoughts or not, the latter means our attention was elsewhere. Following this logic, all animals are conscious. They can't reason, but that's an addon to consciousness.

Btw, imagine your mind as a standalone reasoning machine: you tell it a situation and it models the outcome. This machine can reason on its own, passively wiretapping sensory inputs and modeling outputs in your memory, all without your involvement, and whayever it models will be simply ignored, as your attention would be elsewhere. In other words, the thinking process would carry on unconsciously, just like your heart's activity. However, the moment you pay attention to those thoughts and start steering the thinking machine, this process becomes conscious. A creature equipped with such thinking machine, but without anyone steering it, would be a zombie.
This is why I advocate for a gross vehicle weight rating and vehicle miles traveled tax, regardless of energy source (although gas should still be taxed on its own). GWVR and VMT pretty much measure how much impact a car has on road maintenance, so it makes sense to charge heavier vehicles and vehicles that drive more, more.

I think it even makes sense for semis, the cost may go up for goods slightly as they pass that cost onto customers, but we'd be paying less in federal taxes for roads, less in property taxes for roads, and if you drive less (good for health, environment, etc) you'll likely be saving money. It also more accurately taxes EVs with ICEs based on road wear and tear instead of all these haphazard ideas.
I think Rubio stopped pretty short of endorsing it or saying the claims are credible, but just talked about how people with clearance were coming to the committee to report similar kinds of claims.
But it was also a very different scenario: an explosive decompression that ejected the men through a small opening.

What does a simple high-energy implosion do to a body? What about if you chase that with thousands of pounds of freezing-cold water from literally all directions? Does that make it more or less destructive? I don't know!
> Not sure about diffusion models.

Human-curated synthetic data is commonly used in finetuning (or LoRa-training) for SD. I doubt that uncurated synthetic data would be very usable. There might be use cases where curating synthetic data with some kind of vision model would be valuable, but my intuition would be that it would be largely hit-or-miss and hard to predict.

National Geographic was an amazing publication when cultures were distant, travel was not as easy, areas of the world were still 'remote', and there was no internet. Where else could you see photographs of tribes in New Guinea, or an expedition to the North Pole, or elusive savannah animals?

Once everything was 'discovered' and conglomerated into wikipedia and YouTube, there was no content left for National Geographic. They started writing articles about science news, no different than Popular Science magazine. Then the political era started, and every issue was polarizingly politicized.

I have had a subscription for decades, and I can honestly say I stopped even opening the magazine years ago. The kids just cut pictures out of it for art projects.

I don’t expect sympathy—this is a therapeutic post—but as an engineering line manager, managing out low performance is the single most draining aspect of the job.

I agree that by the time a PiP comes around, it’s probably too late: Every advice has been to act fast, yet only psychopaths can ignore the emotional toll.

Dragging out low performance on the otherhand really affects the team badly, so it cannot be left alone.

So a human being will be discussing in one-on-ones on issues with performance and jotting unofficial notes bot visible to anyone to avoid an unnecessary stain on an employee. Once a PiP comes around it’s become formal.

After this is all done, I’m hoping to get myself PiP’d out of this job.

Maybe what someone else said in HN was right: I’m not cut out for managing.
I and a lot of other people would pay good money for a bespoke magazine though. A platform where reputable writers, authors, journalists of various stripes promise a monthly article that's print only. The company would bind together the articles of the authors you subscribe to in a nice format, with some staff photogs and writers adding in their own articles, what have you. I'd order three, one full of editorials, one with science writers, and one with scifi/fantasy short stories, serials, and the like. To really individualize it, shovel all the reader's choices into an AI art generator and put the output on the cover. I'd pay $30 ($50 if the quality of the paper and binding was good) an issue to get 4 of these a year, and I think you could make it for that much.

I'd like to venture a counter-point. High debt loads are manageable - if interest rates are low. This begs the question of what meaning a low interest rate has. In practice, at an individual level, interest rates are a combination of three factors.

1 - The Risk rate. (How do avoid you simply defaulting on me)

2 - The opportunity cost. (How much more is Person A willing to pay me than Person B)

3 - The time value. (How much do I need to make on this loan to make it worth the payoff time).

While you can argue that an efficient financial system with robust liquidity should drive 1 & 3 to 0. It does not make sense for 2 to be non-zero. When the opportunity cost is zero, it directly implies that capital holders have vastly more dollars than there are viable loans, or that the cost of changing a human beings task from their current task to a different task has gone to zero.

Neither of these statements should be true, capital should be distributed such that capital holders do not have more money than they can lend - and there should always be a non-zero opportunity cost from picking up someone from their current task. The latter point directly ties to the potential for wage growth in the economy.
Could payments not be aggregated?

Eg, consumers incur those credit card charges by topping up an online wallet. They “pay” 5 cents from that wallet itself. The news website only receives payment when the aggregated total paid to it hits a certain amount.

General epayment wallets are already widely (Grab in Singapore for instance), even with auto top up. There just isn’t one for news.

Cars is often hated because kids absolutely adored it, Disney is wringing as much profit out of that IP as possible, and I think the part of that movie that is for adults is not as upfront and center as it is for Pixar's previous work.

The obvious message of the movie "winning isn't everything" seems like childish moral pablum. But like many Pixar films of that era, the principal message is a more adult idea: that satisfaction in life is not attained by traditional metrics of success. Competition has its place but the rich experiences in life are not necessarily where the spotlight is. Maybe that too seems like a "well duh" lesson for kids but man there's a lot of adults who don't get that out there.
The reason it's a useless terrible material for a sub is that until it survives the first dive, you don't know if it has a hidden flaw.

And after the first dive, even if it survives, you know that 100% that it does.
