Indeed. So while a 4.5 ton vehicle, the Hummer EV, does 25 times as much damage as a 2 ton sedan, a semi truck with 5 tons on each axle does ~625 times as much damage to the road.

But 5 tons is not the standard. The federal axel limit is 20,000 pounds, so a fully loaded truck could be doing the same amount of damage to the road as 10,000 sedans. I doubt this is the average axle weight of all semis on the road, though.
Thanks! It works for us. We're also saving because we're not in Silicon Valley or any of the other high cost tech centers like New York or Seattle. It's harder to do bootstrapped companies in those locations and be profitable.

There are infinitely many real numbers (uncountably even), but your computer can only handle finitely many things. Something has to give.

While many people complain about it, IEEE 754 is a very thoughtful and thorough standard, and the reason it is still around is that nothing unambiguously better has been proposed yet.

One note is that the act of deidentification itself requires accessing PHI when done retroactively, this may be institutional policy or specific to covered entities but per the privacy office lawyers such access (apart from a small dataset) requires a permitted use to be accessible in order to then deidentify and use freely.

As with all things HIPAA, this only becomes a problem when HHS starts looking and I’m sure in practice many people ignore this tidbit (if in fact this is the law and not Stanford policy).
I live in a town where the "roads" are private property and everyone has an easement to travel on everyone else's piece of what look like roads. Most of town budget goes to "road maintenance". Everyone understands their role, roads are maintained, and if government misbehaves we will chop our taxes and do the roads ourselves. By not owning the "road" property, government is kept in check and are our servants. There are also zero problems with parking on roads - it gets towed for trespass parking on private property.

I wanted to get a sleep study done to get to the bottom of my occasional insomnia. My PCP at the time put in the pulmonologist referral (because this hospital network required a referral to get a sleep study done, which is insane in its own right, but that's neither here nor there).

This was in January. His next available appointment? March! For a friggin sleep study! And I have a HDHP + HSA and was going to pay full boat!

(He also prescribed me with an antipsychotic that can double as a sleep aid at low dosages, which I didn't take because five minutes of research into it made it obvious that taking that for extended periods of time is bad news bears. I stopped seeing him after that.)

(For those looking for answers like I was, I eventually stumbled upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I. It's essentially a rigid sliding window-style sleep schedule plus challenge therapy to make you rethink how you approach sleep. I've been doing this for six months now and it has been transformational. Best part? No meds!)
I filled out a health care related online form recently, and it said my name was illegal.

In the early 70s, insurance companies were able to severely curtail the power levels of cars coming out of Detroit by pricing in the actual risk. If a car causes lots of injuries, then that needs to be priced into the insurance. Eventually, that won’t be a car you can buy.
My spitball solution is to add an excise tax on revenue based on market concentration, potentially paid back to consumers or new market entrants. So if you own 50% of a market, maybe you pay a 25% excise tax, and thus the market finds an equilibrium except in cases where a monopoly is warranted, despite the high tax.
I've actually never had a tarot reading and only know about it from The Pictorial Key to the Tarot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pictorial_Key_to_the_Tarot

People in power work to marginalize it because they’re threatened by it. It’s pretty successfully marginalized if a woman can get arrested for it even while sacrificing economic profits to a pimp or massage parlor.

It could look like reciprocal easements throughout the entire town and the roads. The people own the infrastructure and use legal structures to cooperate with their neighbors.
For general purpose computing (approximating real quantities) floats with base-2 exponents are just right on base-2 computers. For dealing with money (and other quantities that are fundamentally integer), they might be the wrong choice, but that's well understood and sort of obvious (use integers to handle integers).

A couple of things.

1) Quantization. Llama-2 can be quantized, which means that the weights of the model are represented as integers instead of floating point numbers. This makes the model much smaller and easier to store in memory, and it also makes the model faster to run just using the CPU for environments like yours where a GPU is not available.

2) Grouped-query attention. Llama-2 uses a technique called grouped-query attention, which allows the model to focus on smaller parts of the input text at a time. This makes the model more efficient and it also allows the model to run faster on just the CPU.

3) Optimized implementation. The implementation of Llama-2 is optimized for speed on CPUs. This includes using efficient algorithms and data structures, and it also includes using compiler optimizations.

The 70B version of Llama-2 can generate text at a rate of 100 tokens per second on a CPU as an example.

Zooming in on just search: I would have assumed once reaching a monopoly position in search it then becomes illegal to then use your influence on Android and payments to Apple and Mozilla to maintain that monopoly (by making 95% of "new" consumers opt-in to your monopoly by default and not by explicit choice).

Having some kind of default search selection come up on fresh installs of Android, iOS, Macs and Firefox wouldn't really hurt consumers, and barely hurt Google (it became dominant through quality and people remember that). Ironically (and sadly) preventing Google using it's influence over default seach options would probably harm Mozilla the most... but it should still happen.

Why can't managers come up with a better counterargument other than ad-hominem most of the times when their relevance is challenged - aww you've only had bad managers. you must be new grad to not understand the importance of managers.

No matter how much you like to justify the importance of your role, that doesn't change all the fundamental facts about your role.

Based on your tone and the way you drive the conversation, I wouldn't be surprised if you are one of those narcissistic managers who think they are people leaders and think you are doing something important, while your reports probably think you are just a useless middleman, but can't voice it because of the power you hold over their career - which is the unfortunate reality.

If you think managers are not the primary contributing factor to the mental health issues and the general unhappiness in the workplace, this goes to reinforce the argument that managers are generally tone-deaf. why else would engineers be unhappy unless they get interrupted by sporadic status update requests and their times wasted by useless scrum meetings and 1-1s that managers like you likely are drawn to.

No matter how highly you think of your role and how much you think your role is relevant, that doesn't change the fact that if your ICs leave the company, it's most likely going to be because of you.

Everything you listed can be done by TLs and can be absorbed by ICs in a holacratic model. if that's all you do, then you are indeed an overpaid useless status update tool bot & message filtering system at best, and a human scarecrow at worst. it's likely that the company can hire store managers from Target and with a little bit of ramp-up they can pretty much do everything your role entails - managing out, asking for status updates, hiring, and delegating scoping and mentoring work to the TLs, sitting in useless meetings all day (and calling it alignment, scoping, and fighting fires and shielding the ICs from politics to feel more relevant about yourself, not acknowledging that shit buffering and politicking exist because managers and modern corporate hierarchy exist)

no wonder more and more people are thinking managers are useless if this is the best argument you can come up with. I genuinely hope better people processes and collab tools will make your kind obsolete soon.
> there will be some that take criticism too far

If not, that can be remedied.
I’m doing something similar right now. The eZ80 is a modern implementation of the Z80 that runs 50MHz, is pipelined like a modern CPU, and runs most instructions in a single cycle rather than 5-10 like the Z80. It’s also 24 bit in both data and address. So it’s a lot easier to program and a LOT faster than the original.

The 68000 is also a processor from a simpler time that is easy to source and still being made. There’s a CMOS version with a static core too so you can spin down the frequency to 1Hz and it will still work.

I feel this. What I do now is increase the points of the PoC (real estimated PoC time + optimization).

I get the PoC down asap then as soon as it’s proven (privately to myself) I move onto optimizing. If it fails then I communicate early to discuss a change of scope.

Assuming it succeeds, by the time I present it I have already done significant work making it production ready. So to request an extra 10-25% time to “smooth out the edges” goes over easy after the demo.

In reality I end up with 50-75% time to get it prod ready. The rest is QA + prod bug fixes to take it over the (practically scoped) finish line.
> yes, it is also a training set problem. training on real-world data will reproduce racial bias, because racial bias exists in the world. racism in, racism out.

That assumes that all disparities of this kind are due to racism but the fact remains that the disparities in the racial description of arrests matches that of descriptions given by victims when they report crime. Could an entire nation including black people (who are proportionally more likely to be victims that other races) be in on the conspiracy?

Let's focus on trying to avoid innocent people being victimised, either through crime or misapprehension, than making the assumption of ill intent where there is none.

I agree with this. But NVDA has captured enough of a market that it's a pretty good testing tool for web devs. VoiceOver is still a rather messy thing, and Narrator hasn't seen much development in like a year or two, so I guess Microsoft is just handing it all to NVDA. After all, they test VS Code with NVDA, not Narrator. :)

It's legal in the US to have an awesome product that monopolizes the market as long as it wins on it's own merits.

The government is claiming that the search market is being monopolized, not by having the best results, but by paying $45 billion dollars/year to various browser suppliers to make Google the default browser. That's the illegal act.

> "Essentially, Google has bought up all of the shelf space where search is placed in front of consumers, which is to say browsers and phones. This behavior is very similar to what Microsoft did in the 1990s, when it bundled its browser with its operating system, and signed deals with ISPs to block its browser rival Netscape from getting access to customers. The analogy isn’t a coincidence, as the Microsoft case is controlling precedent. "
For sure. A friend of mine went to med school and chose the general practitioner path. One time I was hanging out at their place, so I leafed through some of the GP journals on the coffee table. It seemed much more akin to car repair than to science.
Long ago I broke my collarbone in a bicycle race. It's a common injury in the sport so I got a referral to a surgeon from another racer who'd had a fracture of his own surgically repaired. To my surprise, she took a very conservative course of action. The clavicle had broken pretty cleanly in half and the outer half had settled in about an inch inward underneath the inner half. You might think that would be a good candidate for surgery so the bone could have been moved back into the old position with the help of a plate. But she thought it would be best if I came back in a few weeks and see if it had healed on its own. To my amazement, it did heal so that now I have a weird knob in my clavicle but the bone feels as strong as the never broken side. The recovery was tough though and took years. At times I wished I'd had it surgically repaired but now I admire my surgeon's restraint. She correctly diagnosed that I didn't need surgery to recover even though she had no personal relationship to me and a financial incentive to operate. But I also saw that since she operated on my friend that she would operate if she deemed it necessary. Thus I believe that she actually evaluated each case carefully on its own. Unfortunately, the tendency towards pushing patients into lucrative active interventions (like surgeries) does seem common even if it isn't the rule.

Not that I’m an expert on the nuance here but I think it gives them permission to use PHI, especially if spun in the correct way, which then gives them permission to deid and do whatever with.

12 Apr 1997) English/Nat
British and Dutch scientists using a giant magnetic field have made a frog float in mid- air, and might even be able to do the same thing with a human being.
The team from Britain's University of Nottingham and the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands has also succeeded in levitating plants, grasshoppers and fish.
Scientists at the University of Nijmegen in Holland have managed to make a frog float six feet (approximately two metres) in the air - and they say the trick could easily be repeated with a human.
The secret is not magic but a powerful magnetic field which overcomes the force of gravity.
The field makes the frog's atoms generate a weak magnetic force in the opposite direction.
This causes it to be repelled in the same way as like poles of two magnets.
Plants, grasshoppers and fish have been levitated by the research team in the same way.
NASA, apparently, is extremely interested in the experiment in order to be able to test the effects of weightlessness on astronauts without having to put them into space.
Easy, says team leader Dr Andre Geim.
