> Zero consideration for what is actually causing it.

You probably never listened to a Jerome Powell press conference. He spends so much time explaining what the causes of inflation are, and what the Fed can do about some of them.

> yet the execs get paid handsome money for this rubbish

What execs get paid handsome money? The Fed employees are government employees, their salary is public. Jerome Powell makes $200k/year [1]. The other Fed board members make less. Is that handsome money?

AFAIK Intel and IBM sell 8P servers exactly like this. Physically the Intel ones look like big addon cards on a mobo.

They are very niche and very expensive, hence almost everyone buys 2P servers instead.

> I also don’t understand how the pricing models used on the securitizations translate to the actual prices agreed by buyers and sellers

Who is the buyer? Most paper is created with expected returns months before the potential homeowner has the loan underwritten. If there is no one willing to buy the security, then the originator/servicer can not create the mortgage and the homeowner can not purchase the home.

Because the underwriters have to limit access to the paper based on available buyers of the security, when times are plenty, credit and income requirements lower. The lending rates just slow or speed up the market slightly. When there is more liquidity in the system, more people can purchase homes.

> My naive guess would be that the government backing of mortgage loans makes the securitization market possible, rather than securitization making the real estate sector viable.

If Fannie and Freddy had 2x the amount available in the US then home ownership would not exactly explode because there would be fewer buyers of the underlying security as prices and returns lower. However it's not the government backing in all cases. The same would be true if the Building Societies in the UK would also had more capital available. An over-abundance of securities would lower their demand.
That proposal is a perfect example of "enshitification". It also shows that as a CEO she sees Twitter users as product to be sold, not a user base to be catered to.

This is the exact trend that newspapers and print media went through, and look at where they are all going: National Geographic just laid off the last of their staff writers.

And it's not that ads can't be a revenue stream. But the needs of the users have to be balanced with the needs of the advertisers so that both can grow. If the balance tips too far in one direction, the other side will depart. Slowly if you are lucky.

The disingenuousness is the point. You're trying to rationalize with authoritarians, who do not argue in good faith.
The Economist, NYT, and WSJ in particular command pretty high subscription prices. Basically a coffee table magazine that most people are just going to flip through once a month probably less so. If I were more price sensitive, I'd probably think twice about my NYT and Economist subscriptions though my dad's on my Economist subscription anyway.
I have very little experience, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think multiplayer games are even more difficult to do on your own (compared to single-player) because you usually need a critical mass of players, possibly even playing at the same time.

I made a multiplayer game for a game jam and I had to setup alerts on my phone for when people joined just to ensure they had someone to play against (although I didn't get it setup properly until after the voting period ended). Even that didn't work because many of the players were in a timezone opposite mine, so I was asleep when they connected.
The statement that making games is easy implies games in general, not "my first game" type games. Without significant qualification, the statement is no more true than saying "coding is easy." You have to engage in some serious logical gymnastics to justify it.
Brazil unbanked population in 2011 was ~41%. Having a bank account was not a straightforward process and included higher costs for the vast majority of the population.

Having a bank account would normally means you get a card that could only withdraw money from an ATM. If you wanted a "debit" card that would cost more.

Credit card were something out of reach for many. Low income folks alternative for credit were to rely on general stores own credit bureau.

With the liberalization in the banking system and the many fintechs that disrupted the market, the unbanked number droped to a single digit in 2021, and with pix, many just skipped the debit card all together.

I hear you ... and I debated using either base58 or base64url. I do like the more compact encoding they provide.

Ultimately I ended up leaning towards a base32 encoding, because I didn't want to
pre-suppose case sensitivity. For example, you might want to use the id as a filename, and you might be in an environment where you're stuck with a case insensitive filesystem.

Note that TypeID is using the Crockford alphabet and always in lowercase – *not* the full rules of Crockford's encoding. There's no hyphens allowed in TypeIDs, nor multiple encodings of the same ID with different variations of the ambiguous characters.

Not my claim. Why would you say it was? Strange.

I'm looking for data as evidence of the claim made by google that paying them is worthwhile which I don't see much of.

So yeah you can update your prior with "people pay for it so it must be good" It has some weight. I mentioned something pretty similar right up top when I went through the anecdotal evidence we have.

People paid for lobotomy and gave this guy:

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1949/moniz/facts/

Group think really does happen. We find out if it has when there is direct evidence, which we don't yet have here, which continues to be a shame. When it comes up I'm always hopeful someone will say "Yes we do!" and link some good data.

Without the Apple proprietary MPX slots, such cards will be limited to 75W bus power. PCIe bus on M2 Ultra is also limited to something like PCIe 4.0 16+8 lanes, or 47.28Gbps(5.91GB/s) total. This will be much slower than competing(in price) product such as Intel Xeon W/AMD EPYC, which has up to 112/128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 or 441.28/504.32Gbps(55.16/63.04GB/s) max bandwidth.

This means a M2 Ultra PCIe card/backplane desktop supercomputer takes 192GB/5.9GB/s = 32.54s per node minimum to fill the whole 192GB of RAM - I don't know how to interpret this, is this going to mean the cluster will be I/O limited, or will it be actually limited by CPU?

You would just need a computer which can fit 2 3090s in order to run those to run something like TheBloke/airoboros-65B-gpt4-1.3-GPTQ

https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/wiki/models/ gives you a list of VRAM requirements to load the model into GPU VRAM. the more VRAM the computer has, the larger the model you can load in, thus making 3090s the current consumer grade king due to price to max VRAM.

This being said however most models are LLAMA based which all fall under that specific research license.

So following the rules, you would be limited to a subset of models which are foundational models which allow for commercial use

Testing is costly in terms of time and money, particularly with a submersible. It's one thing to test a piece of code, but testing a submersible under realistic conditions means basically arranging a full mission for every test run (which is hugely expensive, requiring a support ship, etc.). There's no such thing as perfect safety, which always has to be balanced with cost. I'm not saying Rush's approach was sound (he apparently eschewed more thorough testing) but testing that submersible a hundred times surely would have been cost-prohibitive.

Also the Titan did successfully complete ~20 deep dives from what I've read, so the design was apparently sufficient to stand up to the pressure more than once, meaning even a non-trivial testing program might not have detected the problem. Unfortunately the problem (as many have stated) seems to be in the choice of carbon fiber, which (particularly when taking into account the interfaces with other materials) will weaken over time even if the initial flaws are very small. All materials experience fatigue but the problem is much worse with carbon particularly under those kind of pressures.

This was something that was in vogue in the mid / late 2000s, then Haskell became the cool kid language and types are back.

The thing that drives me crazy about Python typing is that I need to import stuff to make full use of the type system. Like I get that the typing is option because that would be a huge language overhaul, but it feels weird that so many tools get hidden inside libraries (standing or otherwise).

of course animals are conscious. it would be more accurate to say that consciousness appears in animals, since consciousness is a priori to the body. but consciousness is not an observable; only its symptoms are observed, except by the conscious being itself. consciousness is “unseen by any sense organ, not related to anything, incomprehensible by the mind, uninferable, unthinkable, indescribable” (Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad 7) because it is completely subjective and Absolute.
And, unfortunately, it's still an ongoing problem. Some of it even ends up getting published by IEEE, e.g. [1].

QLORA is the gold standard for more affordable training.

Oh man, early Slack was great. Back in ~2015 or so I submitted a ticket about something trivial (why I could no longer hide the menubar or something, I forget), but just for fun I did it all in stilted archaic language like you'd see in the 1600s or something. "Behold, in days of yore when the Users of the Land sought refuge from the tiresome typing that had so bedeviled their lives hitherto..." etc. Anyway, their CS team responded in kind. Hands-down the most fun I've ever had with a support ticket.

I'd love to see a super hi-res, detailed Spilhaus-projection that also included navigable waterways accessible from the oceans, such as the Mississippi, Amazon, Nile, etc. Perhaps define the boundaries of the map as the continental divides. I wonder if this could be created automatically from OpenMaps or something?

At first blush, an interesting thing about this projection is that it seems "accurate", meaning that things that are close together on the map are close together, and those that are far away are far away. It breaks down at the Bering Strait and the Panama Canal, but still sort of interesting.
GNU/Linux is a nebula of many blocks that sometimes compete for the same role, but heavily rely on intercompatibility and adapter layers in order to allow users to choose the one they prefer in each spot (I know this has been less the case with Gnome recently, for example, but the ideal would be to stick to the principle).

Even though the SysV shim layer can be maintained outside of RedHat, their decision is still a spoke in our wheels.

It takes work, and breaking your problem down into very simple and clear tasks. It is possible to get decent data transformations from gpt 3.5 though. I generally start with gpt4 when prototyping an idea, and then after it's working consistently, I'll ask gpt4 to break the instructions down into smaller pieces. Even if it takes two or three runs through GPT 3.5 to get the full output transformed with what GPT4 could do in a single pass, it's still cheaper...
Bringing a non-trivial code base up to even half-decent standards can be a monumental task, and because such code bases are inherently overly complex and risky to change there's only so much you can do without breaking production constantly. It's a lose-lose proposition, which is why I'd never want to be "the programmer" at some place like that, no matter the pay.

This comment hits the head on my biggest criticism of this article, where because a given movie doesn't resonate with him, it's therefore terrible. For me, Onward is one of Pixar's best and made me rethink how I was interacting with my brother now that we're both adults.

I think this quote from the author sums this up:

> It’s also great because it affirms my own views on human life, as all great art does.

The movies don't fit his worldview and doesn't resonate with his past struggles and are therefore terrible.

A similar example, not from Pixar, would be I watched Big Fish with an ex and she couldn't finish it do to her complicated past with her dad, which I didn't have with my own dad. Good movies need not appeal to everyone and I think it would be a loss if we don't support Pixar in making movies that don't.

It's weird to me that people talk about UUIDv4 as bad for databases because of locality. This behavior can be good or bad, depending on what you're doing. Sure, UUIDv4 is worse if you're using it to locate a bunch of related objects that you want to be on the same database node. (If you're doing that, though, you can often attach some kind of group identifier -- e.g., "user" -- and index that.) I generally prefer UUIDv4 in a lot of distributed database applications because as a sharding key it's likely to distribute data well across all available nodes.

I debugged a system that used the equivalent of time-ordered UUIDs where even though the database was horizontally scaled, the performance was limited by the capacity of one server. It was exactly because the uuids being generated started with similar prefixes, so at any given time, all the current data was going to whichever database node was responsible for that range of the keyspace.
