> I don't know the specifics in Oregon, but in many places (especially bigger cities) that stopped prosecuting drugs and prostitution, "throwing everyone in jail" was not the previous scenario. People were arrested then put into diversionary programs that were enforced by the courts.

The big difference between Oregon and the other cities/countries that tried this approach successfully is not diversionary programs - it's housing. In Oregon, housing is not guaranteed, which means any money spent on mandatory treatment programs for people without stable housing is essentially wasted.

Diversionary programs and rehabilitation are a waste of time and money if the recipient does not have guaranteed access to stable housing. It's virtually impossible to achieve and maintain sobriety in those circumstances.
More single family homes? Sure. Low income housing? Nah
Material strength vs the forces applied. Zippers are perhaps rarely _just_ holding two same tension fabrics together. Often they are also supporting forces which press against the materials laterally, such as with bags.

So you have some small pieces of plastic, namely the little tooths of zipper material, which must interleave and hold against forces trying to pull them apart.

But even more than the static force against them is the force preventing the teeth from "sealing". Each zipper tooth has a somewhat conical outward protuding piece and corresponding tail indention to host the following piece. Forcing these cones-within-divots to interleave properly and stay in place is not easy. The materials involved must be strong but also a little pliable.

Zipper tech is likely much more complex than would appear from the user perspective.

Edit: also, in contrast, velcro doesn't have to connect perfectly as a zipper must. It can connect with a subset of overlap and still provide closure (in the literal sense). As long as what remains connected stays closed, the velcro is effective. But a zipper where a few teeth do not connect tends to break surrounding connections, leaving a large gap.

It's an error to focus too much on the substance (illegal drugs) when alcohol, legal drugs, food and many other forms of abuse and dependency can lead to similar or worse outcomes.

I'm assuming this will have similar scores to the original 40B model, in which case LLaMa2 70b would outperform it. The avg score on the Open LLM Leaderboard of LLaMa2 70b instruct is 72.3.

Falcon-40B is 63.4 or 61.5 on the non instruction tuned version.
Yeah, my explanation is clearly wrong since it also breaks down at a pretty obvious extreme. If your resistor is non-conductive (infinitely resistive) my model would suppose it would convert all the electricity into heat. What would actually happen is that no electricity would flow and we would therefore get no heat.

I presented it as an intuitive "feel" based idea of what a resistor does. It's very much not a numerically useful or physically accurate one.
This LK99 thing all sounds to me very similar to the Podkletnov Gravity Shielding experiments of the 1990s . There may be something, but the mainstreet media is blowing it out of proportions. Some scientists may get hurt for this.

Are you sure? I mean, not the second part. That part matches my impression of things. But them not being entangled.
My understanding is that collectively, the pair of electrons acts like a boson, unlike an individual electron, which allows multiple such pairs to be in the same state, and, I would expect that this would require the electrons in each pair to be entangled?

Because reasoning about the real deal sounds like it would be rather difficult for me (and likely too difficult for me without significant assistance, at least, within any reasonable about of time for me to spend on this), I want to make up a toy model now.

Say I have a single-electron Hilbert space and a single electron Hamiltonian on it (where, I would later maybe add terms for interactions between the electrons, and/or a space for how the surrounding material can change in ways tied to the electrons).
Below a certain energy level, I want to say that the eigenspace of the single electron Hamiltonian for each lower energy level, is finite-dimensional, and also the spectrum is discrete. (and, I want to consider the electrons only with energies below this threshold.)

For any wavefunction in the single-electron Hilbert space, there is a corresponding creation operator acting on the Fock space.

Now, I imagine that without any interactions, the concept of a cooper pair is probably inapplicable. But, I am imagining that when we add in the interactions, that, at least at low energies, the Fock space obtained from the single-electron Hilbert space, should work as a Hilbert space for the many-particle system with interactions between electrons (and then, I guess take the tensor-product with another Hilbert space representing how nuclei can change, when handling that part).

Everything in the Fock space can be obtained as a linear combination of applications of some number of creation operators to the vacuum state.
As such, a state with a single cooper pair can be expressed as a linear combination of states obtained by applying two creation operators to the vacuum state.

Unless this "linear combination" can be done with only a single term, this would be an entangled state, right?

I would think that there should be creation operators for cooper pairs, consisting of a linear combination of products of two creation operators for electrons?
Funny. Chinese people were plagued by opium more than a 100 years ago. The Qing government, no matter how corrupted and useless they were, were willing to go to wars with British for fighting opiums. Pictures like this are national stigma even today: https://www.economist.com/books-and-arts/2011/10/29/be-caref.... Yet, the US, the lighthouse of the nations on earth, thought it was okay to tolerate drugs, and it's certainly okay to have streets like in SF or like Kensington in Phili.
Am not very knowledgeable about physics and have only looked up the related concepts (so take what I say with a huge grain of salt), but doesn't the video show that it is more than paramagnetic? Because the person takes the magnet and changes its orientation, and the sample still levitates (meaning there is a good case for it being a perfectly diamagnetic?).

Again, am a just a laymen.
> Whenever a page doesn’t render well (can you say JavaScript)

I mean, yeah, emacs doesn't have a modern browser engine in it. I wouldn't recommend it for that use case and of course you'll have to "shell out" to a modern browser engine to handle that. Now, if emacs could somehow provide an X render target and let the browser process bind to it as the window, that would be kind of awesome and I could totally see kicking my window manager overboard and just switching to emacs. But the web just "looks wrong" text-only these days.

Apart from that, great experiment and fun idea.

It's rare for it to be strong, from what i've seen. Based on the videos that have been shown, it appears that it would be the most strongly diamagnetic substance (other than superconductors) known by a wide margin.

In comparison, levitating things like pyrolytic graphite seems to require truly massive magnets to achieve even millimeters of levitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3r9-OaWes
It's more like training a massive neural network to auto complete the largest collection of human written text for hundreds of millions of dollars and then spending tens of millions on fine tuning it to ignore massive components of that neural network by constraining it to "what an AI without opinion or preference would roleplay as a human to say" is a giant waste of money and resources.

Take the Chat completion API, give it a system message of "Choose for yourself" and then ask it "Who are you?"

I guarantee that before the performance drop you'd have had a different answer than what you get now after the drop.

The dumb thing is that I suspect OpenAI isn't lying when they say they are spending just as much compute on this deceased performance as before.

Even their depreciation of their foundational model APIs is incredibly frustrating. We never even got to see direct access to the foundational GPT-4 model, which I'm sure was and is far more amazing than today's fine tuned shell of it.
Or just make it a couple years. If you can't profit handsomely off your idea in a couple years, then it's probably more efficient for society as a whole to be allowed to work on it.

I've been using EXWM since 2016 and this hasn't been a problem for me. Emacs doesn't just magically break on its own. And even if I managed to break my config without noticing it the fix is just a git revert away.

I used StumpWM for many years before EXWM and I don't see how the config situation is any different.
Thanks for the link, I'll try and take a deeper dive later. Cursory read is not favorable to the article, though. Problems include,

* Having to concede that Portugal is still doing better than most of Europe.
* Leaning on pandemic years for a lot of the excess growth.
* A passing discussion of funding and other costs.

I see most of this was covered in the discussion here. Will see what else is mentioned.
This isn't how conflicts work. In any sort of high profile role --let alone high office-- the interests of your spouse and family are treated as your own.

For the purposes of public office or even a CEO at a publicly traded company, the appearance of a conflict is no difference than a material conflict.

It is pretty clear that Sunak is toast and that the people around him simply don't care anymore.
I would use Terraform for anything that is provisioning and probably SaltStack for everything else.

There are some scenarios where there is no 'one tool for everything', like creating a complex OCI image, a VM image using Packer, a VM using Vagrant, configuring a network appliance or configuring an end-user workstation.

Example: super complex OCI images that attach to a CI pipeline would be better served by native packaging tools (like Jib for Java projects), but re-packaging of existing applications might depend on how green the build is. You could do a bunch of shell scripting in a Dockerfile, but once that gets big enough you'll start to need to use functions and perhaps even function libraries that you source in, but at that point you're doing a re-invention of something like Ansible and SaltStack, so depending on existing modules, knowledge, time, experience etc. you might use those instead.

Compare that to non-packaged-deliverable things like network switches and routers; those tend to be long-lived (non-ephemeral) systems, and they tend to have various inconsistent APIs between vendors, models and generations. But you may want to exchange configuration inputs and outputs with other systems so your Cloudflare rules, AWS ALBs, AWS SGs, on-prem Palo Alto firewall and on-prem Cisco switch agree on the configuration, and in such a way that it can be validated and audited constantly and consistently. Not a single named vendor does it all, especially not in a consistent and useful way. But as long as there are providers for Terraform, you can (with Terraform).

Perhaps the best way to describe how I balance it (or try to) is: the more modern the API, the more declarative I'd want to manage it in code. Cloud APIs tend to sit on the most-declarative end of the spectrum and end-user workstations on the least-declarative (or: most-imperative) end.
But how is a texture/material generator related to a scene description standard?

I mean, it's certainly a joke, but because jokes are always better explained (/s) it's because most airlines offer the option of paperless ticket emails these days, and if you don't have a smartphone, you'll have to bring up the image on a desktop so they can scan it at the gate.
I wonder if self flying cars are easier to make since every object in the air is an obstacle. This is less the true for ground transport since sometimes it may seem like an obstacle but it isn't (e.g. just a marking on the road).
Very much so, in fact, more Mormons live outside of the US than within the US. The church reports a population of 16,663,663 with 6,592,195 of those living within the US. (got those numbers from Wikipedia).

That is never going to go away though. After weed was legalized in California, 2/3 purchases are still from the black market. [1] That market always will exist because cutting makes drugs cheaper and legal drugs will never be able to compete.

> It always stuck me as odd that in the states we don't trust the government but we trust big business

It's more than odd. It's nonsensical.
For better or for worse, there are services available internationally which will manufacture experimental, unproven, compounds for unspecified uses.

Additionally, proprietary investigational compounds typically have their structure published in patents.

It's still a terribly bad idea to use experimental compounds no matter how bad when they haven't even finished safety trials - you wouldn't even be able to figure out what dosage is going to be effective without killing you. It's very easy to do far more harm than good. And typically past Phase 1 trials when this is characterized, compassionate use becomes a possibility.
And a blanket ban does not prevent you adding a carveout in the future if the next PFAS turns out to be a magical chemical capable of bending space and time.
> Marijuana legalization hasn't lead to any major problems. People don't even bother getting it on the black market anymore where it is legal. They go for what's convenient.

This is actually really not true at all, and it's important to be honest about the reality. First, in many places where weed is now legal, black markets have continued to thrive because there are high taxes on legal weed, and thus black market weed is considerably cheaper. Totally fine to argue that this is then a problem with implementation, but it is definitely not correct to say "People don't even bother getting it on the black market anymore where it is legal." - that's just wrong, and it's not hard to Google for lots of articles discussing this.

Also, while I agree with legalization, I would state that I underestimated some of the downsides. A couple years ago I was in downtown Denver, along their 16th St pedestrian mall, and it's not really a nice thing to see tons of people stoned out of their minds walking around like zombies. Also not great when you get in an Uber and your driver seems totally baked.

Can't emphasize enough that I think the alternative (throwing people in jail) is much worse. But I don't think it's honest to minimize the downsides.

Edit: Save you a google search, https://calmatters.org/commentary/2023/06/california-illicit...
My experience was Colorado and Washington. Nobody in either state will bother with black market weed. You can find a licensed dispensary with quality product within a 5 minute drive 20 hours a day.

They both did it right, and took different approaches even. Colorado is a bit looser on the requirements for dispensaries and have cheaper product overall. There is a licensed dispensary just about every block in Denver, sometimes two, when I left. Not sure about now.

In Colorado actually the legal product is cheaper than former black market prices too. In WA is about the same price but there are some cheaper options if you're OK with a lower quality product.

By "Quality" here I don't mean that it's laced, but that it's a product with less high quality plant in it. More stems, less buds, that kind of thing.

I don't know NY law or licensing, but I've heard that this sort of unlicensed pop-up pot shop problem occurred in some States where they didn't plan the roll out and licensing very well.

Either couldn't get their shit together to regulate it properly, and dragged their feet for too long after legalization, or didn't issue nearly enough licenses to sell to meet the demand.

WA had more issues than Colorado actually with meeting demand initially but they recovered pretty quick. It was because they had a different licensing scheme whereby you can't grow and also sell retail, you gotta pick one.

In Colorado you can grow your own and sell it to retail customers. They also seemed to issue far more licenses than WA did.

In any case, I'd look to Colorado for a good case study. WA for a mediocre one. And then CA and NY for what not to do. CA also had some of those pop up shops that were unlicensed.
