My induction induction induction is now complete.
Is that $0.045/GB for all data transferred through it, or just egress to the public internet? If it's the latter, that's half the price of normal EC2 instance egress to the public internet.

If it's the former... oh sweet jesus, what? Probably way cheaper to just run an a1.large or something with Linux on it, plus a very short shell script to set up NAT. That's assuming well more than half of the traffic going through it is ingress from the internet. If it's 50/50 ingress and egress, then it's basically the same pricing as NAT gateway.
I have heard this claim before but I couldn’t follow the logic, genuinely would like to understand your perspective.

So “late untreated borreliosis” is a “real thing” but if someone gets borreliosis, gets treated, yet their symptoms persist (this scenario is what people usually mean by the term chronic Lyme) then that is NOT a “real thing”?

Does this mean that treatment is 100% effective or that if it didn’t work, then it wasn’t borreliosis to begin with?

I appreciate this sound engineer’s preservation work, but cannot stand the intrusion of a Wilhelm scream. What was once a cute wink towards filmmakers and cinephiles is now an obnoxiously overused disruption to the flow of the film. You might as well flash the MST3K silhouette on screen every time it happens.
I agree with your complaint on the specific topic at hand. Whether the installed linux users are on Steam Deck or Desktop Linux, it matters not. It's a boon to the ecosystem in general and any specific differences in their distribution so minor as to be insignificant.

As to your latter point, you're just muddying the topic. Marketshare/netshare metrics are subdivided as they are because most people viewing those reports don't care what their web server, handwatch, video game console, etc use. They care what OS the computers people actually interface with runs; mostly for targeting reasons.
Technically, you can stop brushing any time.

Forget cavities though, brushing is great to get rid of film and grime and stench. I’ll keep brushing.
I agree with you.

If the choice is Open-Core vs Non OSI Approved License(tm) Open-Source, I definitely support the latter.

The OSI needs to be honest and push "OSI Approved Licenses(tm)"... Instead they're like the Simpson's Old Man Yells at Cloud meme, trying to pretend their special interest group has a trademark on "open-source"

I am working at a company that uses ash and have a data science side project that doesn't.

The data science project did a sql query that I couldn't figure how to optimize in SQL and I turned it into simple elixir code. Queries that took minutes now took seconds.

Now, I know that ash can do both but I don't know how I would diagnose that problem or test alternatives in ash, because it hides way too fucking much of the underlying code.
Slightly off-topic, but modern e-books tend to be eyesores. You would think that with image formats able to encode 10 bits or more per-color and CSS[^1], and all the features digital fonts support these days, people could do a bit better.

The cost of losses in the cables may be high, but the cost of superconducting cables may be much higher.

Superconductors may be fragile and unsuitable for cables.
I interpret 3 as the chat bot requires no prompt from a human. Imagine the chat bot wakes you up in the middle of the night saying, "Hey, sorry to disturb you, but I was thinking... wouldn't eliminating all humans help to reverse the climate crisis more quickly? Just a thought." That is what I think of as number 3 (not actually wanting to kill off humans, but it is thinking on its own, without any prompts and then choosing to share what it has been thinking about with a human).
This is actually a common practice. Thieves will jack someone’s plates (prefer that they don’t notice) after stealing a car. It is pretty effective, since most people don’t realize their plates have been swapped until they have been pulled over for vehicle theft, so the cops aren’t even looking for the right plate for a few days, and by then they’ve already swapped again.

Better put an apple tag in your car just in case.
Actually, the Google result is not incorrect. In radiology, an X-ray of a patient with ankylosing spondylitis is said to display the "bamboo sign", a real medical term describing the appearance of the backbones. Google is showing the result that is more relevant to thousands of medical students (such as myself) who are trying to understand a radiology report, but that may not be relevant to someone who just wants a sign made out of bamboo

I think it's as much a skill as "typing" or "using email" or "writing 6-pagers". It's low level and likely nobody is getting hired just to do this. But a copywriter who knows how to do it is valuable, far more than someone who knows prompt engineering and tries to apply it to copywriting. Domain expertise is important.

Most of the really bad "soulless" outputs people get stems from inadequate communication. "write a poem about a dog". Are you surprised that it writes a generic fluffy dog poem? What about dogs do you want to say?

"Write a poem comparing loyal servants of tyrants to dogs, in a positive manner, but with a darker undertone." Now that gives you a much more interesting output.

As AI approaches reasoning levels similar to GPT-4, it'll probably be much less beneficial to know how to talk to it. The AI ends up just needing enough context to figure out what you really want. It makes assumptions and asks for your input on those assumptions.

But chat models are a beginner's level, designed to handhold people to learning how to use AI. The completion models like OpenAI's `davinci` (not `text-davinci-`) are a lot more interesting, creative, and unhinged, but also harder to control. These require a higher level of skill.

There's also being aware of its limitations. How to get it to do math properly. How to prompt hack and prevent prompt hacking. How to steer it towards a certain tone. How to pass it a table format it understands. How to get to write things past 2000 words. Being aware of security holes in code written by AI with certain prompts.
Why not let them try this experiment? What if it results in better mental health outcomes in Florida?
That's right. The standard way to measure resistance without being sensitive to contact resistance is called the four-terminal method, see (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing). You drive a current using two outer wires, but then detect the voltage across the sample using a different pair of wires. You'll measure zero voltage if it's superconducting, since V=IR. Or if one of the probe wires became detached.

The first LK-99 paper used this method to claim zero resistivity, but people complained that if the inner probes lost contact, that would also be consistent with their data. This criticism doesn't totally make sense to me, since the apparent superconductivity came and went in the expected way as they changed an external magnetic field. I don't understand how a loose terminal could mimic that figure (I think it was in figure 1).
Patent have reasonable terms. They will have a 20 year head start and then everyone will be competing with them. It's something that will be free in the same lifetime as the researchers, most likely. It's not abusive like current copyright that locks ideas for two generations.

It sounds like Microsoft half-arsed it, and expected other people to do all the work and since they didn't do the work to show that it was an actual market, no one did anything.

This is incoherent. If Kenyans don't have strong employment prospects then offering them jobs isn't "wrongfully exploiting the situation". It's the exact opposite: it is providing them employment prospects they'd otherwise lack.

The economic conditions in Kenya were not caused by 'centuries of exploitation' but by millennia of non-development.

It's possible only if you use a DisplayLink dock which requires using very specific dongles and installing specific third-party drivers. Our company already has 10-ish Dell Monitors with USB-C docks integrated, also Thunderbolt Dell docks, and neither of these work. There is no workaround.
The curious history of NovaMin toothpaste
My issue with it is two fold.

I think due to its generalized nature there are exceptions where it doesn't even apply (like people who are weight training, pregnant women etc).

I also think it is becoming apparent that weight alone is not as useful of a metric as was once believed. It doesn't do a great job of identifying whether or not someone is healthy.

So maybe it is the best that institutions can do to gauge the health of a population with the data given, but I think it could be improved drastically with extra metrics (I've heard of measurements around the body being used).

There is a subset of people who are being misidentified as unhealthy or overweight. Idk how large it is but it seems significant.
Why would patent be the root cause, they should have access to 2003 level of medicine. If patent was the only thing holding them back, you'd see them having 2000s level of healthcare, which wasn't bad by any stretch.
The minimum wage is zero. 'Minimum wage' laws don't have anything to do with the actual minimum wage. They forbid employment at wages within a range between the minimum wage and a certain so-called 'minimum wage'. People that would otherwise be paid within that range instead get paid the actual minimum wage: nothing.
The standards yes. But everybody was targeting IE first so that wasn't a huge issue for the end user. What I remember made people move away from it was its willingless to just execute everything from the web (i.e ActiveX) and how insecure it had become due to this.
It is less about them jumping and more about it even being possible to use forceps to begin with to place them without disturbing pins or paste.

I wouldn’t care so much if I could get a USB 3.2 or 4 device that’s only 2–4 GiB for like $2. I would actually buy a handful for each system I need, label it, and update that dedicated drive. However, fast, new drives don’t come at sizes appropriate just an ISO.
The forrest I feel you are missing in calling out these trees is that Chrome already supports a good variety of options on Wayland & can be nicely accelerated there.

Where-as the old Skia based ChromeOS rendering made having actual hardware compositing support much more optional.

The bar is just clearly much higher for what drivers will be expected to do now. Passing off stunted barely working custom low level drivers will no longer be enough. I can't see how anyone could rush to defend other views, at this point.
I guess it really depends on what you expect out of a "user". I think servers and Android count but I think SteamOS is a bit tricky, because it's relying on a compatibility layers running Windows to run most games. This may not matter to the end user, but it isn't quite the developer revelation many imagine where suddenly tons of games and apps have a proper linux port.

A few weeks ago, there was news that some Harvard MIT researchers had discovered a chemical cocktail that can reverse aging.

This fact only makes the problem even worse.
1. Cure for aging
2. AGI exists and ends up being somehow, unexpectedly easy to control
3. Russia / China / North Korea eventually become democratic

Some of the “good” black swans at the top of my mind…
A scientist's career depends on their reputation. For them to have the best opportunities, they need everyone to have the highest respect for the quality of their work. If they damage their reputation, it could ruin everything they've spent decades working toward.

Of course they care about science itself, but there's a limit to what risks they'll be willing to take when it affects them personally.

For people with a relatively low reputation (or no reputation, i.e. unknown), taking a risk is not a bad move. They have less opportunity, and there's a chance the risk might pay off and boost their reputation.

For people whose reputation is already good, the risk is less worth it. They don't stand to gain as much, and they could lose a lot. So they're less likely to do it.

Consoles purposefully add a big barrier for indies, so that doesn't help. I'm sure many devs would love to support console but lack the resources. I can't think of a single AAA/AA game that is PC exclusive.
The thing I find is, the arm Mac’s have way better feeling input. I don’t mean the hardware end but the latency from key stroke to appearing on screen.

I don’t think it’s just down to macOS because the Intel Mac’s didn’t feel as good. I think it’s likely down to the E cores and moving more of the IO handling processors onto the SoC (according to the Asahi folks anyway)

When my Intel Mac or AMD PC are under load, input struggles to fight with the things taking up resources. And that might be as simple as running Teams which is a resource hog at the most random times.

The Arm Macs never hit that issue for me even when I’m using aggressive loads.
Wait, stop. LXD was conceived at Canonical, and not by anyone driving this fork.

It was funded by Canonical, quite separately from LXC.

The tech lead asked for and got permission to host LXD alongside LXC, arguing it would attract significant contributions, which it did not. Now that tech lead has left the company. Canonical will continue their work, which is the vast majority of LXD code, in their own Github repo, just as you would for something you designed and are investing in. The company hasn’t stolen anything, don’t be drawn into the pitchforks and torches brigade.

This mob madness is why we can’t have nice things in open source. I like LXD and it’s obvious to me that its future releases depend, just as past releases, on continued investment by Canonical. Wishing otherwise is self-defeating.

Yes, and sure, you still have to fact check, but that's O(1) per claim. If retrieval is actually happening, and not hallucination, the gains can be huge for a complex query.

That's something that people who dismiss GPT seem to forget.

I got lost why 23:59:60 is valid time...
Virtual screening[1] is a computational technique where you take an experimentally resolved structure of a protein (PCNA in this case) and sequentially dock a large amount of different compounds to see which ones of them bind favorably to the target protein. It is worth mentioning that virtual screening is a very early step in a drug discovery pipeline. These hits need to be characterized and validated experimentally to see if there is an actual effect.

I am not well-versed in intellectual property (so please correct me if I’m wrong), but in this case Shkreli is using a database of commercially available compounds (ZINC) and a hit present in the screen could be patented. He said he won’t do it, and, since this could be considered prior art, nobody else can do a claim.

> Some absurd level of energy loss occurs in those.

It doesn't really - because we do the transmission at very high voltage, and the power loss is proportional to 1/V.

Power loss in transmission in the US is about 5%. In the transmission lines themselves it's only 2-4%. [1]

If you ran a power line all the way across the entire continental United States, you'd still get about 80% of the power out of the other end. The longest economically effective distance you can run an AC power line is about 2500mi, and DC around 4300mi. [2]

The discovery of the vaccine itself

Sure, but given that there are adverse effects from pretty much all vaccines and covid is generally (ie. in the data not anecdotes) not really risky for children - you are potentially causing more risk from side effects than you are preventing.

This neglects the second order effects of who the children might infect, which imo is the real justification for covid vaccination of children who are not immune compromised.
Liquid cancers are, in comparison, much more treatable. Sometimes they can even be curable.
There was an editor (for cmucl maybe?) that would macroexpand in a tooltip on hover and macroexpand-1 on right click (or maybe the opposite) on an s-expression. I'm surprised something like that didn't make it into slime, though you can I think macroexpand to the minibuffer. But, yeah, that's why it rewards doing macros in small pieces.
