"Temporarily embarrassed millionaire" is one of the most ridiculous bits of motivated reasoning to ever come out of the left. There's little to no evidence for it but gives the one who states it the ability to hold anyone who disagrees with them both in contempt and inferiority at the same time. It is quite clever, if your goal is to protect many of the inherent contradictions on the neoliberal worldview but is terrible if your goal is to ever understand those who frustratingly refuse to hold views you paternally believe are what's best for them.
This is not at all what happened. What actually happened is that the parliament slightly restricted the number of reasons the Supreme Court is allowed to use to overrule decisions of the government. Since Israel has no Constitution (it has some Basic Laws, but they don't cover much) the Supreme Court has been increasingly intervening into politics - including appointments, government decisions, policies, etc. - much more than, for example, US Supreme Court would ever do, and using reasoning like "it doesn't look reasonable" to overrule the actions of the government. Since, remember, there's no Constitution, this essentially gives the Supreme Court infinite power - they could override literally anything the government does, and they didn't need much grounds for it either.

And, let's say, the Court also hasn't been exactly non-partisan lately either (if it reminds you some other country, then you are right, these things can happen anywhere). So, many people were very unhappy with such situation, where a largely self-perpetuating body (the Court controls a lot of appointment process too) has nearly infinite power over the elected officials.

Given that one major party (or rather coalition, but let's not get into the weeds) has lost the elections, but enjoys the power in the Court, and the other has the majority in the parliament, but has their actions constantly blocked by the Court with motivations like "it doesn't look reasonable to us", the inevitable readjustment happens. It does not mean at all the Court - or any courts - lost all ability to review the decisions of the government, far from it. It just means that use of that particular tool - declaring any decision "unreasonable" and be done with it - has been restricted. Of course the side that enjoyed using that tool doesn't like it at all. But the Court still has all the power of review that it had using any other tools - including all the laws previously passed and those Basic Laws that exist. It just moved from "infinite power" to "limited power".
It doesn't need to be two huge models. If there is an advantage to doing this, I'd expect that you would see it even in a small test case. I'm sure we'll see something by the end of the week if not earlier if there's something to it.

But UTF-8 is just a way to encode a number as a variable-length string of octets. Why would you be unable to encode, say, a terminating U+D800 as a string of three bytes at the end of a UTF-8 stream?
This is usable, but hopefully folks manage to tweak it a bit further for even higher tokens/s. I’m running Llama.cpp locally on my M2 Max (32 GB) with decent performance but sticking to the 7B model for now.
Yes, basically there is no perfect solution, people are complaining about air at this point.

> what percent of students at these institutions are there simply off of academic talent and not some of the larger extraneous factor

Very few actually get in purely based on academics. Very, very few.

Most folks who are admitted have good enough academics (with “good enough” being relatively high but not unreasonable) with something else that sets them apart. Usually this is something that sets them apart at an international, national, or (maybe) regional level, or some sort of demonstrated ability to do something interesting (broadly defined), especially if in a leadership role.

You probably did not realize what your actual unique angle was, or you grossly undervalue that unique angle.
I don't like the actions taken here, but I wouldn't say its that clear cut of a case.

When its a government employee saying things in the course of their job, their speech is not protected. Had the professor made remarks about the Lt. Governor as a private citizen and not as a state employee actively doing a state job, I'd agree its a clear cut 1st amendment violation. But that's not what happened, so I don't know it would be that clear.
Everything about this browser reminds me of Apple's product pages. All marketing speak, vague, empty promises, and loads of hype everywhere for things I'm doing already on what I have right now.

It worked for Apple so I can't blame them for trying, but it makes the entire thing feel so empty.

It looks like someone mashed the basic features Microsoft built into Edge into a a frame around Webkit with one or two cool features.

I don't want to go all https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 but Microsoft Edge seems to be doing most of the features this browser seems to have and more, and it's from a software company I expect to still exist in five years.
I don’t follow, how does this decision affect tech
We know that COVID depletes NAD+ reserves and NAD+ is the main electron transport molecule in the body (second one is FAD+ in some cells in the brain). So if you suddenly run out of electron transporter, it would inhibit most of your systems, making you tired all the time, and the systems that are already operating near their maximal capacity will start failing. This might kick off a chain reaction that is later transformed into condition we call long covid. It would also explain why it is different for each person as everyone has different organs in bad shape and why people with certain organ damage have similar symptoms.
You can have both ways which I'm shocked isn't more common. Everyone in the same position gets paid the same, if anyone negotiates higher for themselves everyone gets a pay bump to match. Now you get paid max(individual rate, group rate).

Bad negotiator? Anxious? A woman? Congratulations! You're probably doing better than you could on your own.

Amazing negotiator? Could sell ACs in Alaska? Congratulations! You get all the fruits of your labor and your new coworkers immediately love you.

I think what messes people up isn't that they think their temporarily embarrassed millionaires, but that their temporarily undiscovered principal engineers who deserve more money for pulling the same cards as everyone else on the team.

TA is a very broad umbrella, and forms of TA work. Day traders exploit it day after day. It doesn't require sophisticated technology or deep pockets. I see many people that necessarily aren't familiarized enough with the trading world argue otherwise, which is unfortunate since they're making categorical statements while being not very well informed.

I'm a bit blunt because of this, but you have to remember that calling "SMA crossover" TA is like calling setting up the washer "programming" it and equating it with programming in a software developer sense. And both are available to a wide population! Guys, there's much more to TA than that (and similar super simple strategies that just rely on no or very simple market structure).

I just had to reply. Someone down there said he spent time and said no indicator will reliably predict price. Forget about magical indicators, agreed. I have proved TA to myself, but it doesn't look at all like what the article or many of the comments describe. It's one TA system of many, though.

I'm happy to answer questions if anyone disagreeing has any. I may not be able to do so for a broad variety of scenarios, since I'm talking specifically about day trading, but the "patterns" (it's not just patterns, it's patterns in a market structure context where you get the alpha from, otherwise I understand the "astrology" analogy presented here) apply to longer timeframes as well.
It's ridiculous, but at the simplest level, it's not wrong. Your tools or the lack thereof will change how you think about things, for better or worse depending on the situation.

If your goal is putting venison on the table tonight, vs understanding deer behavior and herd migration and when deer are even in the area in enough numbers and so can even be thought of as a viable food source, a stone knife and a bear skin as tools might promote (or force through necessity) better understanding than a hunting rifle and a large puffy jacket.

That doesn't mean it's "better" or that everyone should be using shitty tools, but it is food for thought, and that perhaps doing it a few times is a learning experience that isn't all negative.

Honestly, if I saw white text on a CV then I’d likely skip the candidate because I wouldn’t trust them and trust is everything. But if I saw someone being open and explicit on their CV, then I’d at least trust their honesty a little more even if I didn’t agree with the technique.

Don't worry, that number is a total misrepresentation.

Having said that - tech workers could achieve a whole lot through collective _struggle_ (of which bargaining is just a part):

* They could prevent mass government surveillance

* They could force companies to share their patents and other "intellectual property" with the rest of society, for the benefit of everyone.

* They could link up with other workers in areas such as the SF bay to force the government and tech companies to finance construction of public housing and limit rent.

* They could mobilize and lead struggles for getting corporate money out of politics (well, at least the direct kind of money in politics).

... and of course take care of their own interests in the form of participation in company decision-making, protection against arbitrary terminations, equitable pay scales, less excessive work hours etc.
I think when we have the government having regular meetings with major social networks, instructing them who to ban and which topics to exclude from discussion, and when we have the pipeline from foreign security services through the US government to the all major social networks which allow them to ban anybody without as little as cursory review - we are way, way beyond "family and friends" situation here.

Maybe you should actually read and understand the anti-union comments on this site rather than using a memetic caricature from reddit or whatever. Of the anti-union comment I've seen, none were justified on the basis that the commenter was a '"temporarily embarrassed ~~millionaire~~ billionaire" wannabe entrepreneurs'. The closest I've seen are people who think they're above average performers, and think that contracts that typically result from union negotiated contracts (eg. seniority based or credential based) would negatively impact their compensation. Regardless of whether you think arguments like these hold any water, it's a massive disservice to portray them as them being anti-union because they "think of themselves as employers not employees".

Your best bet is probably the old MVS that was open sourced back in the 70s or 80s and lives on via an emulator called Hercules. Its sufficiently different to be worth a look, it's got a living direct descendent (although that has become increasingly turned into a Unix over the years), and there is enough of a community around it due to it having a very expensive direct descendent that the docs and other tools necessary for working with it are relatively high quality and up to date in comparison to most long dead operating systems.

The issue with it is that there is no way around having to do some pretty serious assembly language work for an instruction set that no longer exists and whose modern descendents probably microcode to hell in order to run some of the old instructions.

Engineers need to stand up for it. The commute is part of your work day, so leave at an appropriate time. Tacking on an extra hour to your work day is ridiculous, leave earlier and get in later.
Everyone is so excited, and it is exciting, but I guess I don't see how this will "change the world". It doesn't seem applicable for transmission lines (it's brittle and cannot conduct large amounts of current), which is what I would imagine would be the biggest world changing thing. Maybe it could make maglev trains a more common reality? But we seem to have trouble building trains of any sort. If you could use the material for PCB traces you could eliminate (a lot?) of heat loss from computing equipment. But you're still stuck with Si on the chip itself. You're still stuck with high voltage copper power lines.

What, exactly, are the "world changing" applications? Perhaps my imagination isn't up to the task of seeing this. What I see is a novelty for physics students to levitate magnets without the need for liquid nitrogen, and perhaps it will make some quantum computing designs more efficient (and therefore render PKI obsolete. yay?)
> What would make it fair is that they put air conditioning in vehicles that service areas that have a high probability of being very hot during the summer

Or pause delivery by ambient-temperature vehicles during the hottest parts of the day. There are a number of solutions which, while not suited to Twitter, can be worked out between adults not drawing red lines for the public's consumption.

Note that we don't have the NMA. We're going off highlights, one bullet point among which reads "safety and health protections, including..."

This entire thread is a brilliant illustration of why compromise cannot be made in public anymore.
Even amongst public sector, cop/firefighter/judge/politician unions are a different animal than the other government worker unions.
> That's not a matter of rationality anymore; it's faith. There's no evidence either way.

If there is no evidence either way, then it is only rational to reject any positive assertion. The reason is that negative assertions are infinitely more likely to be correct than positive assertions. As a motivating example, think of a number between 1 and 1,000. Now, which statement seems more likely to be true: “the number you thought of is 32” or “the number you thought of is not 32.” I have evidence of the number you thought of, but the negative assertion is much more likely.

Another way of thinking about it is this: each positive fact yields are near infinite number of negative facts. E.g. if you know a ball is green then you also know it’s not red and it’s not blue, etc. the converse isn’t true. When you know a negative fact, you learn very little. E.g. what else can you say after learning a ball is not blue.
Can it run onnx transformer models? I found optimised onnx models are at least twice the speed of vanilla pytorch on the CPU.
If the main objection to constructing a real-time product monitoring system for A/B(C/D/E...) decisions is that optional stopping is bad why not throw away the null-hypothesis sig testing and instead treat the problem as a multi-armed bandit?
Purify was glorious. As was Saber-C before it.

My employer paid for both. But we sold even more expensive development software ourselves, and bought very expensive workstation and server hardware to run it on, so we were accustomed to the price points.

I like that great software is now open source, and most any kid or adult around the world can run it on a cheap decade-old PC. But I do miss some things about that software development era.

It is strange to hear about innovation in DuckDB - I see that they are gradually re-implementing the stuff already existing in ClickHouse. Sometimes they do a better job at promoting it.
That can only be true if labor budgets are limitless.

Even a business like Apple has some number that is the most it can pay to all of its employees. And if there is a maximum, then that means it can be divided any number of ways.
> But it wouldn't lock the target in place when they stop
Based on the paper, results, video etc., this is either legit, or a massive fraud. I guess we will know soon enough.

If it is real though, this is a massive step up for humanity. The stuff of science fiction.

Seems pretty good. I may take a break from tech and drive for a while.

That's not inevitable (for programmers, at least). Post-GDPR European developers generally keep well away from customer data, and it isn't a big impediment.
Probably everything...

Remember that you're getting the press releases from the union leadership which needs to justify calling off the strike, plus the pro-corporate news media.
> This is what makes it a fair deal. Give and take. A maximalist position from labour would demand UPS churn or retrofit its entire fleet overnight.

So the "maximalist" labor position is "stop killing any of us" and the compromise "ok, just kill fewer of us" is a good thing?

Meeting in the middle is not always a moral position.
Not quite sure quite what you're asking. But I think, yes it affects it, we can't hire people outside of the US and given we got no candidates we could feasibly employ, it doesn't make sense to continue posting.
Yeah, nobody get too excited. We still have to wait 20 years for the patent to expire.
It's quite likely that the purpose of this story is to push a narrative for anti-encryption advocates. Cf. US and UK pushes against encryption.
Indeed it's not possible. Say you had a classifier that detected whether a given text was AI generated or not. You can easily plug this classifier into the end of a generative network trying to fool it, and even backpropagate all the way from the yes/no output to the input layer of the generative network. Now you can easily generate text that fools that classifier.

So such a model is doomed from the start, unless its parameters are a closely-guarded secret (and never leaked). Then it means it's foolable by those with access and nobody else. Which means there's a huge incentive for adversaries to make their own, etc. etc. until it's just a big arms race.

It's clear the actual answer needs to be: we need better automated tools to detect quality content, whatever that might mean, whether written by a human or an AI. That would be a godsend. And if it turned into an arms race, the arms we're racing each other to build are just higher-quality content.
> turns to total anarchy is when we debate unionizing tech workers

haha, true. Lots of straw men creep into that discussion.

Just wait until we talk about VP's unionizing.
That doesn't make any sense, because if you didn't want anybody from outside your network to route packets onto it, why not just not have the router?

You actually do want your LAN devices to be routable from the outside, because you want them to be able to talk to Internet hosts and you want those hosts to be able to reply. That's the real reason you have the router.

What you probably don't want is for people outside your network to be able to initiate new connections to inside of it, and that's something you get with a firewall, running either on your devices or on the router.

NAT only comes in to any of this if your ISP can't issue you enough address space to use on your LAN, without which your network won't be routable even with a router in place. NAT is the big hack to try and get routing to work without sufficient ISP-assigned address space. It's not needed for anonymity or for getting a single point of control.
If that's the deal the workers got imagine the deal the teamster boss's got!
