My theory is that as COVID depletes a month-worth of NAD+ in like 3 days, it leads to energetic deficit throughout the body, and the weakest links start failing first. So I assume I had some predisposition coming from my intense lifestyle and COVID just initiated the domino effect. I wish I knew about NAD+ prior to that, I might have skipped it altogether if I resupplied it right away.

Yes, maxed out m2 air – excellent machine, really worth the money, it's extremely quiet (no fans) and light. The memory has not been an issue at all running multiple VMs (usually linux for docker and parallels for windows tools), can game on it decently well (I'm into mostly indie games and older CRPGs though) and the throttling has not been a problem

24GB RAM is really more than enough for everyday use, if I want to run anything that needs more RAM I usually just spin up a cloud machine
Doing that is not technical analysis. Technical analysis is predicting stock prices strictly from the previous price history.

The steel-man position for technical analysis is that humans are herd animals, who tend to do things in similar, predictable ways. Such as, people who pick stocks like to sell and take profits after the stock reaches some nice, round number. When enough people do this, it can result in repeatable, predictable patterns in prices.

The massive caveat there is of course that while that might be true in the absence of outside stimuli, any news always trumps that. It doesn't matter how nice your patterns are, if it comes out that the company somehow did worse than expected, it's price is going to fall, and if it did better than expected, it's going to rise. Trading on technicals might be something that works if you are really fucking careful, but it seems to me like you are picking quarters in front of a steamroller, in a way. The actual reliable profits from technical analysis are always going to be small, and the risks of investing with no understanding of the fundamentals seems fraught.
> saved immense amounts of time with no commute, and have been able to pitch in more regarding domestic tasks

Same with my kid. Another big win of remote for me is that I can go where I'm treated best. I can pick a country (anyone could pick my country and I had to welcome them with open hands, so it's only fair game that in exchange I'm allowed to go wherever I feel like going) which welcomes me and my family and where the taxes are reasonable and where the people are nice.

I'm at my fourth country in seven years and this time I think the family shall stay for quite a while.
Good. And I think watermarking AI output is also a dead end. Better that we simply assume that all content is fake unless proven otherwise. To the extent that we need trustworthy photos, it seems like a better idea to cryptographically sign images at the hardware level when the photo is taken. Voluntarily watermarking AI content is completely pointless.
There are many people who like going to the office, but

- don't like to commute

- don't like to live in the city where the office is

- don't want to pay insane rents to live in a studio

Personally, I quite like the office and really miss socializing but it's a tradeoff and I chose full remote.
This is partly what I was talking about. Just odd dismissals of actuals scientific evidence.

It's a "major qualifier" that this study looked at middle aged overweight people? Or that they relied on a survey to assess symptoms but then quadruple blinded everyone? They added the long-covid assessment as a secondary endpoint to a group they were studying since before "long Covid" was a phenomenon.

And then to dismiss the result because you apparently misread the CI for the hazard ratio? For those on metformin, it extends to 0.89 not to 0.99 -- and is centered at 0.59 with a P = 1.2%. You can obviosuly quibble about subgroup analysis but for the 3-day group, it's 0.37 [0.15 - 0.95]. That's a fairly strong result!
It sounds to me like you're WFH in a culture that doesn't do async coordination well. I don't know how large an org you're in, but some targeted team process refresh goals/training for better async coord would seem like it could improve your working environment. (edit: this could be a suggestion put to your team leads/managers with the objective of improving culture & efficiency)

Some of that is explicitly writing up short coordinating docs/memos instead of real-time hashing it out, and comes with some of the attendant advantages of writing and thinking often discussed in HN posts.
>You can predict situations like crop failure - if you're an expert in agriculture and have access to data that impacts crop yields.

Experts predict crop failures, big money acts on those predictions and moves securities price and volume, which technical analysts examine.

Therefore, the experts prediction is input for technical analysis.
Mainstream press doesn't have the ability to replicate physics research results you may indeed first get the results in a journal. It can take some time before the research community manages to decide if something replicates or not.

But there doesn't seem to be any indication in the link that this has been published in a peer reviewed journal, or received kinds of community peer review, either.
> And then read Security Analysis […]

And then read (original co-author) Graham's last published interview ("A Conversation with Benjamin Graham", Financial Analysts Journal, September/October 1976):

> In selecting the common stock portfolio, do you advise careful study of and selectivity among different issues?

> In general, no. I am no longer an advocate of elaborate techniques of security analysis in order to find superior value opportunities. This was a rewarding activity, say, 40 years ago, when our textbook "Graham and Dodd" was first published; but the situation has changed a great deal since then. In the old days any well-trained security analyst could do a good professional job of selecting undervalued issues through detailed studies; but in the light of the enormous amount of research now being carried on, I doubt whether in most cases such extensive efforts will generate sufficiently superior selections to justify their cost. To that very limited extent I'm on the side of the "efficient market" school of thought now generally accepted by the professors.

There is probably even more "enormous amount of research" going in the decades since he said those words. Hedge funds are using satellite imagery to get an information edge:

* https://newsroom.haas.berkeley.edu/how-hedge-funds-use-satel...

* https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/05/stock-v...

What are you, as an individual investor, doing to get an edge over other market participants?

With a much smaller portfolio it is a lot easier to be more nimble, but you're going to spend hours researching things. If you find that enjoyable, go nuts; but for most folks the market returns of index funds will probably allow them to meet their financial goals (e.g., retirement nest egg), and so IMHO the time is probably better spent with family and friends.
It’s not really cheaper though, as you spend more time and resources traveling for it.
Why does everything has to be put into the political view? If this ocean current is collapsing because of the current temperature anomaly, then it has happened. Nothing that any amount of CO2 limiting will do about it, because even the most optimistic IPCC projections with 100% adoption only say temperature will stabilize ~2060. That base-case is worse than the worst case considered in this paper.

So this should be treated as this current having collapsed. It's like a building toppled, it's shaking, but not many bricks have hit the ground yet, but everybody's running.

Well, except that in this case half the people still want to believe it isn't happening.

What we really need to know is what will be happening, where, and how much.

In principle this is true. In practice, without the engines on you don’t have hydraulics which means no anti-skid and the pilots have to stomp on the brakes. This means overheated brakes and popped tires, almost certainly starting small fires that will warrant the slides.
NYC was covered in a glacier the last time the global average temperature was 5C cooler.

That's not the same thing as Europe and NA cooling by 5C.
Exactly. A government or a three letter agency would find it difficult to do just that and will quickly run into lots of trust issues.

Now with Worldcoin, Sam is selling the solution (proof-of-personhood) to the problem he created with ChatGPT (AI spam, deep fakes, etc) and could be easily working with those same governments who would have always wanted to get people to sleep-walk into handing over their digital identity.

The main difference? Worldcoin is doing it all out in the open.

Sam is actually worse than Zuckerberg.
The opposite is true. Methamphetamine can be made with high school level chemistry, while LSD is a comparatively difficult synthesis. LSD precursor chemicals are also much harder to acquire.
I had something of the opposite experience.

Digging into the manuals I figured out how to launch the compiler as a background process so I could still have a working system while waiting for it. Brought the whole classroom to a halt.

More digging revealed that the background priority was set well above user priority. AFIAK no malice involved, just someone who didn't know how to set the system up and left that landmine for me to find.

That's fair, honestly gives you an advantage that you enjoy it.

For me, anytime I'm commuting I feel is time I could be doing almost literally _anything_ else. My secret to getting away (its not forced though, lol) is a mini sauna. I don't really sit in there sometimes but if I say I'm going to it's everyone's clue to leave me alone haha.

There is some P that all those unknown variables act in opposite directions, rather than the same direction.

My guess is it's pretty close to 50% - otherwise they probably would've studied those variables.

wredue said

> "There has not been a liberal push away from encryption."

Pointing out Democratic congresspeople who push away from encryption does not contradict wredue's claim. Liberal is not a party affiliation, when Democratic congresspeople push away from liberal principles they are being illiberal. Liberal doesn't mean "whatever it is that Democratic politicians support".

And yes, I know this is confusing to Americans who received their political education from AM talk radio or cable television, who's understanding of the term amounts to "whatever it is that Democratic politicians say." When a Democratic politician calls for violent lyrics in rap music to be banned (as some did in the 90s), that is illiberal. When a Republican says that abortion should be legal, that is liberal. Even though liberal values are generally associated more with one party than the other, that doesn't mean liberalism is nothing more than party affiliation.
Astrology has more of a culturally evolved or emerged nature. Of course, it's peddled by entrepreneurs who have an incentive to "make it up". Yet it's oddly coherent (with itself), at least from the POV of an uninterested person who encounters it a few times over decades.

Technical analysis is literally made up.

I think there's a gradient where technical analysis is in the far right and psychonalysis in the far left, with astrology in the middle. I can't discern it clearly on an empty stomach right now though.
Thank you, it was intentional!
Totally agreed. Apple's marketing is simply the best. Google on the other hand, repeatedly let its reputation erode by a loud minority of Google haters without doing any PR to control the narrative. As if they still believe that one echo of "don't be evil" could still reverberate after twenty years.
It all depends on need. The idea that everything needs to work the same way is unsound. Arguably, the company I work for doesn't need to bring everyone into the office every day; we seem to be doing quite well. Another firm that believes it sees better creativity when people are in the same physical room may be better off not having their workers be remote.

And like you say, not every company necessarily gets a benefit from having an 8 hour day. Depending on the nature of the job, the remaining hours of the day can be a diminished return, in which case one might as well give up on the game of charades and just allow their employees to go home.
Yes, I agree. I probably should've been more clear that when I said "behavior," I meant "behavior observable by the caller."

Going back to the original article, it seems reasonable to me that the following qualifies as such a user-observable change:

foo(null) # throws InvalidArgumentException

updated_foo(null) # the same as foo(0)
This has been my primary issue with Arc. I can't tell what it is and the copy on the website reads like it comes from the world's most pretentious designer. I feel like any tech blogger covering this can't be taken seriously when they say "I just decided to give Arc a try because of how it looks" when there were 0 pictures on the website and the intro heading was literally "Arc is a browser". Okay Arc.
It's an impressive result, but shouldn't be seen as "correction". Framing it as a (drastic) reduction in mistakes is more useful here.

If the model is productionized (read: dumbed down so it isn't as expensive to run), the reasoning abilities drastically decline again.

And these reasoning abilities are still around a language model, rather than around abstract models.

This is a very effective party trick for general math, whose language quite directly maps onto these abstract concepts, but there are some holes. Information about e.g. which values may be zero isn't encoded in the language, and so this approach is liable to blundering around division-by-zero issues.

If you want a particular example to toy around with, LLMs are not fond of quaternions and their conversion to other representations.
Cicada populations in two different countries emerge the same year, decimating sesame crops while Indonesian crops remain unscathed and the futures shoot through the roof.

I worked on something like this for a client and got pretty good results with this model: https://civitai.com/models/6431?modelVersionId=23104

The product I built allows users to ask pretty much anything (it's a sort of sex chatbot that also sends photos) and the problem is when people start asking super weird stuff and you end up with girls with 4 feet.

Or maybe they like that and it's not a problem at all, who knows.
Fine, to be pedantic, it's right on the limit of being desert. LA averages about 15 inches of rainfall per year, whereas the classification for desert is less than 10 inches. With the amount of irrigation in the area, this is not generally acknowledged. Funny, I used to have to hop over a giant puddle in the street every morning to catch the bus to UCLA because the sprinkler systems for someone's 4ft wide lawn were just that badly misconfigured. I always thought that inane.
WizardLM-13B-v1.2 Trained from Llama-2 Can Achieve 89.17% on AlpacaEval
I am currently writing a tool that’s glue between network calls (downloads) and disk (saving those). Fundamentally, it has to be async. A sync version would be slower by probably two orders of magnitude, for no good reason. Real threading would be overkill, on the other hand.

So I’m kind of making it fast first, or at least laying the foundation for it. Async has to be in place from the start due to function colouring. I spent a while being entirely “unproductive”, setting it up.

AFAICT this has not yet been published in a scientific journal, and has not passed peer review of any sort. Having said that, there's been at least one story on HN this past week where researchers were chastised for going to the press before properly vetting their results.

I only tracked data with my smartwatch, my resting HR was basically going down from over 100 to under 60 in 1 month. Oxygen level was 95-99% all the time, but I never got ScvO2/SvO2 measured in the hospital (some say LC folks have only 20-40% SvO2 which is ICU level).
> The number of people who actually like going to the office (either part or full time) is far higher than you'd expect from reading Reddit and Hacker News.

I think most people like an office setting. Even remote work proponents like myself enjoy the office every now and then.

The problem is really two things.

1.) The commute is brutal. If you live in any decent sized city and have a family, it's likely that you are far enough away from the office that you have to drive 30+ minutes in pretty horrendous traffic. That's not only lost time that you could be spending with your family, or even doing work, but it's mentally exhausting. No one is refreshed in the office after a shitty commute.

2.) Often offices turn political. The dynamics of in person work can cause many issues that just don't happen when you work remote. Remote work, when done correctly, is mostly about contribution and output. In an office, low performers can outshine high performers simply by being present and seeming busy. Remote work mostly fixes this.

Short answer yes.

It's a simple reality that you can't just trade shares based on technical analysis alone. You are trading in a company, so you can't ignore what's going on with the company or the regional market.

The only place technical analysis might work is the forex market. Because the volumes are so enormous, and there is no centralised exchange.

But even then, you're still at the mercy of world events. Look what happened when the SNB pulled the peg on CHF overnight[1].

Sure the HFTs and Quants do it, but they do it on minuscule timeframes, and they have an enormous budget and even more enormous risk appetite.

As the old saying goes. Time in the market is better than timing the market. Oh, and "only invest what you can afford to loose".

I don't see how WFH is possible with a family. My children (9, 6, and 4) spend nearly the whole day trying to guilt me into playing with them when I telework.

> How would you afford a large enough house in a city center?

Work in an industry which exists largely outside of the cities. Defense, for instance.

1 hour in total for me: 30 minutes there and back.

I think this might be highly dependent on your social circles. As an extroverted 35 year old single man living in Europe, who doesn't drink alcohol, it seems like approximately 80% of my social circles have done psychedelics.
> If the customer is already running in an attestable environment, why would they disagree with attesting to that environment?

There are countless modern PCs that have secureboot enabled by default. Does that mean all their users endorse and agree with secure boot based attestation knowingly?

My point is defaults cannot and should not automatically be treated as implicit consent/knowledge.

Attestation will be enabled by default when Chrome ships WIE and the "majority" condition you mentioned will most certainly be true from day one. That doesn't necessarily mean that every single user of chrome is onboard and happy with WIE.
Do you have a cogent argument as to why technofeudalism is either not sweeping the world, or is ultimately beneficial to its serfs?
Almost all research are published in scientific journal. News outlets then pick some to report deepening on many factors from breakthrough development to just pure chance. So this is not something strange.

Actually the opposite is the strange. I would be skeptical of any group the report something in media before publishing the results in a journal (or arxiv like this case).

This is not to say anything about this particular paper. I still have to read it eventually.
I'm casually suggesting what pretty much every country has done at some point that has been oppressed to unlock a better future for themselves and their posterity.
