>But how to combine this with needs is unclear to me, I would love to see a good explanation of this.

some inefficient ways off the top of my head: create a threshold filter on the object with logic something like "only agents with need > X allowed", or iterate through the agents until you find one with the greatest need score that is pertinent to the object, or a combination of the two to reduce the list size that must be iterated. sprinkle in agent range from object and specific traits preferably before the list generation to further reduce iterations needed.

i've thought about all of this a lot because i'm addicted to games with agency and emergent behavior. rimworld is a lot of fun in that regard because it's easy to jump into modding it, which makes agency experimentation a lot of fun.

2023-10-15 would be pretty universal.

ISO 8601 works for everyone.

It avoids confusing the Americans who otherwise put the month in the wrong place.

It avoids being ambiguous for everyone who may otherwise be worried that it was written by an American with the month in the wrong place, when the day is less than 13.

2023-10-09 is the 9th of October and it's clear to everyone regardless.

It also has the benefit of sorting chronologically if sorted "by name" when used in a filename as it's largest unit on the left, smallest on the right.
No, imagine this: you have a 14 year old question with 50 answers, all have tens of upvotes, an accepted answer from when the question was asked, many other answers similar to the accepted answer but with questionable validity from different times, and you add a new answer with zero upvotes under that pile. See the problem? No way that someone could find that without huge effort, it'll stay buried under the fold. That dynamic would discourage you from contributing that answer. The design is simply not suitable for living content.
The peak still occurs in the evening around 8-9pm. The chart I linked shows a drop in net demand around midday, due to solar's contribution. But my point is the mismatch between peak electricity demand and solar production, which is the same regardless.
Alan Kay's LA House for Sale
I gotta say, this comment really comes across as being written by someone who has quite literally never tried Netlify, or doesn’t understand the value prop at all.

Seriously, it is orders of magnitude faster to deploy a static website on Netlify - simply drag and drop a folder from desktop - than it is to spin up just a single VPS on Vultr… and by the time you’ve configured that VPS, I could have done a dozen revisions to the website, and it would still be more difficult to deploy updates to the VPS than to Vultr. Don’t even get me started on the complexity of a global CDN.

Do I wish all of Netlify was free? Sure, yes I do. Does this mean it’s not valuable? Of course not.

The irony of this is that you seem to be saying that (a) Netlify locks the customer in with useless features, and (b) it can be trivially reimplemented in an entirely custom but otherwise “free” VPS.

The real question is, which “free” VPS are you going to use that will serve the same capacity as Netlify’s paid plans? AWS? Do you think you can avoid lock-in using AWS - of all things?!

OpenAI Startup Credits
Does anyone knows how to get OpenAI credits for startups? We are working hard on the space and need to scale. Any advice or recommendations?
The use of pipelining, multi-issue, out-of-order execution, branch prediction, and caching on modern processors also means that, timing is already somewhat unpredictable at the machine code level - unlike simple 8-bit or 16-bit microcontrollers (which are often used in for real-time control of hardware, there can be a 1:1 relation between an assembly instruction in firmware and a signal pulse output that you can measure microsecond by microsecond).

On a modern CPU, even if you're running bare-metal with no operating system, and you're writing plain assembly, it's still impossible to calculate the wall-clock time it takes solely by adding the CPU cycles up from each instruction. Different instructions can be executed simultaneously if there are no data dependency. A if/else branch in a loop can get faster over time when the CPU "learns" the pattern after a few iterations. Exactly how depends on the implementation detail at micro-architectural level - how many instructions can the CPU decode, how many ALUs and execution ports that can be scheduled for execution at the same time, the branch prediction algorithm and hardware, etc. This changes from CPU model to CPU model.

Repeatably accessing the same data in memory or data in the same cache line causes the code to run faster, sometimes by orders of magnitude, because the data is already in L1/L2/L3 cache. Conversely, randomly accessing memory causes pipeline stalls for hundreds of clock cycles. This is why array indexing, lookup table, and hash table cannot simply be understood as O(1) on practical hardware. This is also a major target of timing side-channel attacks against cryptography code - depending on how the encryption algorithm is designed, it can be sometimes extremely difficult or nearly impossible to defend from - AES is a notorious example because it uses table lookup (hardware-accelerated AES instruction set is both a performance boost and also a security fix to this problem). Thus, many newer crypto algorithms are intentionally designed to be inherently immune - designed in a way that there's no secret-dependent memory accesses (like table lookup) during the encryption process.
Does anyone have ideas or direction on undoing mental harm caused by smoking weed for a long time?

I started at 28 (so not very young) and smoked for maybe five years. I’ve stopped for a year now and while generally feel better, still feel slightly slow regarding memory and word recall. Lacking wit and often umming while looking for the right word or someone’s name.

I’ve seen research suggesting that word recall is one of the main long-lasting effects of cannabis that persists after cessation.
I've not met Mister Hotz, but from what I've read and heard from him on podcasts, I'm not sure there's a lot of smart in the crazy smart.
> I'd have to think about this a bit more, but even though I agree the distinction is practically useful for treatment, it's once again a distinction of degree rather than kind. In both cases, there is a physiological habituation to a substance that causes unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Something analogous to the pleasure-seeking behavior of bona fide addicts is still there, I think, when you consider that drug-dependent people will consume a substance to "feel normal".

I've mostly agreed with you up until here, but having known both heroin addicts and a few PM patients, I don't agree with this at all. while there is a significant minority of PM patients that are addicts in disguise, I genuinely don't believe most of them enjoy taking their prescription. at least in theory, the PM patient works with their doctor to find a dose that adequately manages their chronic pain while minimizing impairment and other unpleasant side effects like nausea and constipation. the addict seeks the highest dose they can get away with (not arousing suspicion of employer/family, being able to afford it, etc.). the intention behind the use is very different.

more generally, my working definition of addiction is something like this: a) inability or extreme difficulty in regulating b) an activity or use of a substance that c) negatively impacts one's health, interpersonal relationships, or other meaningful goals. the PM patient clearly satisfies b). but I would argue they don't satisfy a) if they are able to stick to what they've agreed with their doctor and haven't specifically chosen that doctor for being a total pushover. they don't satisfy c) at all: the drug is what allows them to participate in something like an ordinary life. in extreme cases, it is what allows them to exist at all.

btw, I could also have chosen SSRIs as my example for dependence. I think the PM example is better for teasing apart addiction vs dependence, since there is a bit of overlap in reality. but SSRIs are interesting because they do not demonstrate the same tolerance building effect as other psychoactive drugs, nor are they (commonly) used recreationally. nevertheless, people do report fairly nasty withdrawal symptoms from abrupt cessation of SSRIs. you can google "ssri brain zaps" if you're curious.

tl;dr: addiction and dependence can look similar from the outside. one simple heuristic for distinguishing them is how the person behaves after acute withdrawal subsides. the addict will always feel the temptation to go back, and resisting that temptation is usually a lifelong struggle. the person who was merely dependent will stop and never look back if they find an alternate solution to their problem.

Does this have the capability of setting an option to periodically check the page for updates and save a revision?

My ideal bookmark/page archiver would have this workflow:

1) Find a page I like or find valuable for whatever reason, so I click on a browser addon button.

2) A little dialog would then show up from the button, allowing me to set the following

2a) Add tags, as well as offer suggested tags I could add or remove.

2b) Set an optional update frequency, preferably with an option that would slowly reduce the frequency of checking for changes, first if no changes are found, and eventually as an absolute regardless of changes.

2c) Set specific technical page save settings

3) Once done, I click a “save” button in the dialog, and the page would be saved at a single html file, like the browser addon “SingleFile”, (which has some adjustable default settings previously mentioned). This allows saving pages with very simple javascript/dynamic functionality instead of essentially an static image. It also inlines some media: see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/. That said, perhaps a WARC file may be better when it comes to handling things like compression, multiple revisions, indexing, and possibly following links to download and store linked media.

4) Then it would automatically open the saved page in the browser, so I could have a quick look can make sure it’s not broken for some reason

5) Finally it would then occasionally check for updates, saving a revision. On future visists to the page, the addon would have a little badge to let me know the page has already been saved and is being watched.

It kinda sounds like I want a browser integrated front end with sane and intuitive settings for HTTrack. As and example, let’s say I find a post on hackernews full of insightful comments about something and want to save it. The post might be new, so comments are going to continue to be added (or possibly removed, though this is more of a reddit problem) after I’ve saved the link and page. It’d also be nice to automatically grab the linked webpage for the context. Something that makes this easy would be great.

It might also be nice to be able to select comments (select elements like ublock does?) for highlighting.

> These aren't chained, you can run parallel prompts of 15 personas with X diversity of perspective, that reason on a singular request, string, input or variable, they provide output plus audit explanation. You then run an amalgamation or committee decision (sort of like mixture of experts) on it to output variable or string. Then run parallel simulation or reflection prompts based on X different context personas to double check their application to outside cases, unconsidered context, etc.

Sure, so you ensemble some results. You're back to the classical "hyperparameter" problem though that's faced ML for a long time-- what those personas are, what those subsequent prompts are, etc. require a fair amount of manual verification and tuning. And the search space is extremely vast.

Not to mention that something like this is likely to be very unperformant.
I'm always happy to see more BASIC promotion. I just love the nostalgia from being able to make my old 386 make a sound by just typing BEEP.

When Sean Astin used a variant of BASIC to crack a security door in the second season of Stranger Things, I even wrote a blog post about it. I was just so excited to see BASIC again "in the wild."
The big advantage of a platform like Etsy is just discoverability: it's like walking into a store and browsing to see what they have. Everything I bought from Etsy was by "browsing" like this.

It's the same as YouTube in this regard. Sure, you can set up "https://sleepytimetea.video" and start posting videos, but attracting an audience will be so much harder, and it was never easy in the first place. This kind of thing only really works for people who already have an audience.
Silver's argument wasn't that the scientists secretly knew it was the lab leak; it's that there was a lot more uncertainty than the view that they published. And that became a problem because journalists used their paper to push misleading information that the lab leak was right wing conspiracy instead of a very possible scenario.

> We thought Oppenheimer was the way to instill a love of physics to young people

The only person so far that I've seen publicly saying that is Sam Altman. Never crossed my mind that this could inspire people (albeit I haven't seen the movie). Same for the Turing movie, or the Hawking movie, none of them really made the work look that cool IMO.
I worked at an ecom that used Elixir instead of an spa, with the backend being the older legacy app, and elixir rendering pages based off API data from the backend. This was well before live view

It worked amazingly fast. Some things were painful, and would have been better served with some progressive enhancement via a dollop of frontend js, but they were rather small exceptions

When I left a few years back they'd undergone some leadership turnover and the new wanted to migrate to some messy jamstack thing. They had millions of SKUs. Last I heard they migration hadn't gone anywhere
Wasn't there some conversation a few years back about how anyone with a big enough antenna could take the probe over because it doesn't really have any security measures and all the command/etc documentation is now public?

In a way this sounds like a way to keep that from happening.
To beat Nvidia, you have to solve software. The rest is negotiable - weaker hardware can still be attractive with more competitive pricing or efficiency.

Nvidia is definitely on top of their game right now, but only because they've gone all-in betting on ecosystem fragmentation (and keep getting proven right). Sufficient software investment could unseat them handily.

The crypto phase only ended up strengthening institutions, because it showed everyone that you do need a central authority. Until enough public internet infrastructure exists to realistically pull off a fully peer-to-peer Internet, we will need trusts, exchanges, and platforms.

Even in competitive sports, you want a referee. If anything, this whole phase has shown me that private platforms, banks, and governments will always have a place in public societies.
Yes. Supply reduction works in aggregate in almost all cases. Anyone that says otherwise only came to harm reduction via it being a liberal / progressive political talking point. I say this as someone that’s very left-wing and an overall believer in harm reduction. It’s just the way it’s espoused by Joe Citizen is dumbed down to the point where it’s just plain wrong.

If we legalised heroin, more people would do heroin. Gateway drugs are real. Decades of fighting against stupid Reagan-era drug policy have trained so many people to completely throw the baby out with the bathwater and brush the nuances of addiction under the rug in support of their cause, on both sides.

The argument in reality tends to be more that decriminalisation presents a net benefit literally by virtue of mitigating the criminal aspect.

I’d use drugs more than I do now if there was less of a legal disincentive. People that think they understand the tenants of harm reduction often hate to hear that, which I find absurd. It’s just…the truth. Usually I’m told “but you’re not the one we’re worried about” as if those with ‘serious’ drug addictions are somehow ‘other’. A ridiculously narrow view. There but for the grace of God go I.

I live in an area that saw drastically lower drug importations during COVID travel restrictions. We also had social policy that loaded loads of people up with money that kept everyone paid. We got to see first-hand the effects that supply reduction had on drug use, across the aggregate. There was an inarguable correlation. The issue is usually that policing action is just never that effective.
I don’t know of a server that does exactly what you wrote, but I generally troubleshoot dns issues with a few dig commands.
dig without any parameters will resolve via your normal dns server and display the servers ip.

With @(dns server ip here) you can query a different dns server to check what their answer is.

With +trace you can go through the complete dns chain from the root servers on to check for issues in the chain.

Sorry if this doesn’t help you or you knew this already.

Have any evidence of these regulations? What regulations can we change?

I've looked and looked and never found somebody saying "these regulations are unnecessary" but it's trivial to find examples of management not taking the regulations seriously and then paying for it when they cut corners (basically all the welding for the AP1000s in Georgia and South Carolina).

It's also easy to find management errors that ballon costs and cause massive delays.

I'm completely unconvinced that we can pin this on the NRC.
Yeah, but back then we were all just cramming "Britney Spears" into our Meta Keywords tags; we weren't actually eroding the quality of our entire web properties to court a live-or-die relationship with a single traffic vendor.

> prohibition does more harm than good.

According to our shared oral mythology about bootlegging gangsters, yes. According to all available crime and health data from the time it was an incredible success.

Crime fell. People got healthier. There was less domestic abuse (people forget that temperance was first and foremost a women's movement). None of this was outweighed by the increase in organized crime.

Prohibition was a "failure" in the sense that people like alcohol and do not wish it to be illegal. It was not a failure by any other definition (boogeyman stories about "organized crime" notwithstanding).

This is easier to see if your baseline is, "excessive alcohol consumption is a societal disaster" (which is the correct baseline). Prohibition would have to generate a staggering level of harm to match the existing harms of consumption.
Thank you for the kind response.

I did some basic roadmapping of various scenarios (including the worst case ones).
Aren't import taxes essentially federal sales taxes? Granted, they're applied long before the product sits in a consumer's cart.
Any specific examples you can think of? I am curious.

By the rumors that I read in forums,

Sukbae Lee and Ji-Hoon Kim hit the first sample (the prototype of LK-99) in 1999 trying to prove the theory of their professor Choi Dong-Shik. Around 2017 YoungWan Kwon joined to the team and they got investment enough for to buy an SQUID and a EPR. In 2020, L and K hit with LK99. They tried to submit a paper to Nature, but was rejected. They contacted with HyunTak Kim after read his 2021 paper (the one you point), and HyunTak Kim joined to the team.

The above are rumors. I'm not sure if such 2021 paper may give tips in the theory or synthesization behind LK99.
