It's a better term than "algorithm" or "learner" or "AI".

It very literally is a model of the relationships within the training data.

Moreover, statisticians and other varieties of people doing data analysis have been using the term "model" to mean something along these lines for many decades already.

If anything, it's nice to see more people calling these things "models".

That link is what are normally called vanity nameservers. That allows "branding" them so that "dig NS foo.com" says ns1.foo.com and ns2.foo.com instead of pinky.ns.cloudflare.com and brain.ns.cloudflare.com. But CloudFlare is still the provider.

What you cannot do is set your domain's nameservers to some other other provider, e.g. Route53. There's just no option to tell the registry you want to use non-CloudFlare backed values (outside of "call us" enterprise plans).

This is particularly nefarious when combined with buying a new domain. New domains can't be transferred to another registrar for 60 days, so if you need a DNS feature or config CloudFlare can't provide on a domain you just bought, you're just totally stuck for 2 months.

There are many reasons to avoid meat that don't apply to vegetables. First off the top of my head is it's a disease vector: both bacterial and viral (think swine and bird flus).

Secondly, water usage for meat is 2-5x the liters-per-kilogram of lentils, tofu, and 10x the rest of the staple vegetables.

Thirdly, every bite of meat on your plate carries an opportunity cost of all the nutritious benefits of eating a variety of vegetables. I could go into this further, but I think it's common knowledge that plant chemicals offer "vital and necessary" nutrition unavailable from meat.

Greenhouse gas emissions are also a factor that favors plant diets over meat.

I love a good prime rib, or a BLT, but the costs grossly outweigh the benefits.

Agreed - I ended up switching to Safari. If Apple ends up allowing other browser engines (as rumoured) then I’d happily switch back to Firefox.
Pretty much all this summarizes as "yes, it's valuable work to the individual".

Broadly I agree - a lot of it is clearly a pretty big positive.

But that doesn't make it not exploitative. For the same reasons that wealthy places don't generally allow child labor and have worker safety and environmental protections... but outsourced stuff frequently does not. The companies outsourcing are clearly aware of this, but most do or allow things that are blatantly illegal where they're headquartered.

Not all of them! There are clear benefits to colocating labor (manufacturing in particular) and some legitimately seem to be spending the money and effort to make sure it's being done ethically. A strong majority very clearly does not though, and outsourced moderation seems to consistently fall into the uncaring category.

this attitude also makes me look at other people the same way which is not good either.

it's also defeatist, and self-depricating, just like the christian attitude that we are all born sinners, and we'll never overcome all our sins. with that attitude why should i even try? i rather believe we are born noble and that we should strive to keep that nobility or try to get back to it if we go astray.
"Transformer" is a particular type of neural network architecture, and neural networks are a class of models. The term "model" in this sense has been standard in statistics and data analysis for a very long time.

Python wheels really can help here, but only if the downstream packages you depend on have published wheels for the various different platforms you need to support.

https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/ is a great tool for assisting with that - many projects run that in GitHub Actions as part of their release process.

There's just one catch, in my experience: since GitHub don't offer Apple Silicon machines as part of GitHub Actions, it can be hard to build wheels there that work on those platforms. Maybe you can cross-compile them? I've not figured that out yet.

The aneccdotes at the beginning really seem like the filmmakers are capturing 3D models of extras to make changes in post look more realistic on the same production, and then the extras are misreading the situation.

The whole article puts "extras fear" up front, and then follows up with a whole cascade of them not having evidence for those fears, studios dismissing those fears, CGI extras being something used for decades, etc.

Not sure what the story is supposed to be here.
I'm actually in this exact same boat (I ported my US number to twilio when I had a long travel stint abroad to retain access, have since built a forwarding system to keep using it).

I registered with the IRS to get an EIN for my "sole proprietorship" (i.e. me), and that seemed to satisfy twilio for the brand registration requirements. Still waiting on a final A2P review for my use case (sending messages to family and friends) so not out of the woods yet, but hopefully that's the last step.

I also found that thread. It was very pleasing and it seems he has definitely thought about the issue. While his response seems to go from 0 to 100 in a second, he is still honest and gets to the point instead of waiting for all the "why not?"s to roll in.

It's not surprising he has his head screwed on straight. There is clear genius in Nim's design. I'm not a genius, and I don't know much about compilers, just scant knowledge of some data structures and algorithms, but what I do know is that being able to make something so powerful be used by mere mortals like me is very much genius (an idiot values complexity and all that jazz).

> The numerous unbelievably wealthy global companies all doing this in the same very specific areas surely have the area's best interests at heart, and want to raise its standard of living, so it must be something else.

That’s the point of capitalism—-it works if you have only your own interests at heart. Wealthy Global Company A enters a market and makes huge profits. Wealth Global Company B (and maybe C, D, E, F, etc) sees they’re making those profits, and enters that market too. Workers then have choices of where they can work and can demand higher wages and better conditions.

> it also provides leverage for suppressing wages elsewhere

Country A has average wages of $40/hr, and Country B has average wages of $0.40/hr. If companies in Country A move some jobs to Country B and wages in Country A fall to $39/hr and wages in Country B rise to $1.40/hr, but prices also fall in Country A to make up for the fall in lost wages, is the world really worse off?

> At high human cost

What’s the human cost of not having available jobs? It means children don’t get schooling or vaccines. No access to social mobility. If you get sick from easily curable diseases, you’ll likely just die. No chance of retirement—you just work in the fields until you die.

If you want to see the benefits of “outsourcing” these types of low skill jobs, look at Bangladesh. The country has gone from one of the poorest places on Earth, to closing in on middle income status in about two decades.

> Keigo isn't some high-level PhD topic

It gets multiple book level treatment in Japanese (if you’re in Japan, please ask about the keigo section at a decent bookstore), and I am familiar with at least a few post-graduate papers on the topic.

Some additional comments:

1. Something like this link (http://keigo.livedoor.biz/archives/cat_14420.html) might be a good intermediate level of keigo. A lot of the less common keigo on those pages get butchered by non-native speakers when they try to use it (mainly because they shouldn’t be using it).

> given how common it is it's a very reasonable thing for even an intermediate speaker to want to practice

2. Unless someone is a diplomat, a 会社員 or in some sort of traditional arts, I would humbly suggest that they could go their entire lives without producing any keigo outside of memorized words and phrases (e.g., おはようございます) and could be seen as a highly fluent, high-functioning speaker by Japanese people. The basic link I provided in my first reply and the intermediate link in this reply are plenty to have receptive knowledge of, but one could argue that the important keigo in these lists simply falls under slightly more difficult memorized words and phrases (something acquired relatively early at lower proficiency) rather than advanced generative rules (something acquired much later at higher levels of proficiency).

3. Referring back to your “not a high level PhD topic” comment , I sure as hell would love to read some detailed breakdowns of top tier keigo use and keigo faux pas (especially in high level negotiations). I’ve never seen anything first-hand, but have I heard some stories. I’m pretty sure the best stories never leave the room they were uttered in.

To close, I’m not sure what your experience is with Japan and Japanese language, but I get the sense they you and I see keigo very, very differently.

Fwiw, I have been part of a training team that trained folks who were in “protocol positions” in Japan, and I can tell you that keigo was a constant sphincter-clinching aspect of that training (usually bypassed with an interpreter in high stakes Japanese-language situations, using English-English most of the other time in less formal situations, and using memorized words and phrases the rest of the time).

Personally I've never been attracted to writing SuperCollider code, especially not in a live context, largely due to its syntax, but also its complexity.

So-called 'visual programming languages' I don't find interesting for performance, since they rely on the mouse for program manipulation.

For me Tidal's mini-notation is the greatest music sequencing tool of all time, bar none. Every time someone shows me a sequencer I can usually write the Tidal code in my head on the spot, and save $1000s on redundant hardware. It could only be beaten by being turned into a physical instrument, something I've tried to do in the past: https://github.com/jarmitage/Stenophone.

That being said, even though I'm evidently a big Tidal fan I would still call attention to ICLC and HLCI, where amazingly creative and interesting new systems and approaches are being proposed every year:

I'm not sure where truck traffic fits in this equation.

As for the others, you're probably right.

That said, we don't necessarily need to get rid of cars. EVs are much less pollutant than ICEs, both in terms of air and noise. They don't solve tyre pollution.

Getting rid of (or massively reducing the reliance on) cars might have other advantages though. Less honking, for one. Probably less police, ambulance and firefighter sirens since it's likely to be less traffic. Fewer people shouting with other drivers. Busses can be made fairly silent. Trains, especially underground metro ones, are not all that disruptive to the general city life.

Again, I'm not saying any particular solution is necessarily correct or desired. I just went off and tried to picture what it could look like.
Notice how money isn't handled (at least per the examples) by GNU Units. Because currency (and fungible financial instruments in general) have variable exchange rates.

For currency conversion, it's a lot more tricky because there's many ways to convert. Eg; if I want to go from CHF to USD there's a lot of CHF->USD volume and there are market rates for that exact conversion. But between eg; SGD (singapore dollar) and Peruvian Soles (PEN) the market is a lot smaller so it may be actually beneficial to do SGD -> USD -> PEN.

Typically this means ingesting a feed of real time prices + any fees and then doing a limited-hop graph traversal.

The phrase "mental health" makes light of the realities of addiction.

From what I understand, an addict can't mental health their way into being someone who isn't an addict.

If that is the case, after they have become an addict, they can only mental health themselves into being someone who refuses to indulge in their addiction.

If they refuse to indulge long enough, the craving loses its power over their reasoning, but they still have the capacity to be immediately back to where they started if they indulge a single time.

In my opinion, the best thing is to never use a drug you don't have to use.

The next best thing is to use them extremely sparingly or for a specific purpose.

If you go past this point, you begin to run the risk of becoming addicted.

This is peak performance.
My question is why don't more frameworks use it, especially the more popular ones.
It's more like a 2-level situation for most things with a little more structure than you might realize. There are "physical kinds" or meta types like "energy" and then different concrete units those can be which allow conversion.

The physical kind is a point in an N-dimensional rational space of exponents of base units, such as Mass * Distance ^2 * Time^-2 or (1,2,-2) for energy (maybe with some carry over ^0s for unused slots of a >3D meta-type space). Additive (like add, subtract, compare, and convert) are only meaningful at the same point in that lattice. If you are interested in learning more, this is all a part of dimensional analysis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis .

Even the dimensionality of that rational exponent space (the "unit system", if you will) is more of convenience / convention than fundamental. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units clobber most things away leaving only 1 dimension (and a tendency for complex rational exponents). Meanwhile, the SI unit system is very "dimension promiscuous" (mass, length, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, luminous intensity) [1] to avoid non-integer exponents (but you cannot really forever since as soon as some formula has some square some solution of it has some root that probably gets you a 1/2 exponent).

There are some situations with not purely "conversion factor" scale offsets like thermal units (e.g. Celsius to Fahrenheit) that people often describe in math-ese as "affine conversions". Something like GNU Units attends these things, but they are kind of "conversion only" orphan step-children more than "real" types which "compose better". In physics formulae one will often only care about delta-Temperature, not levels, for example.

EDIT: The implicit creation of a potentially brand new type any time you multiply | divide two extant things is, incidentally, why you need either a dynamic or a very powerful static type system to express these things.
