I agree that trying to determine the distribution of these drawings is hard because it isn't a simple floating point number in its current form.

But maybe you could covert it to a linear monotonic measure?

You could pass it to an image recognition model and see record the degree to which it thinks it is an:

animal
horse
unicorn

Basically if it fails to be a unicorn, see if it is a horse and if it fails to be a horse check if it is an animal. This gives you some type of linear measure if you place these three measures along the same axis adjacently. Then you can transform each image to a floating point number and then characterize the distribution.

I’m curious how old your friend is.

My own experience with several people has all involved older folks and this line from the article caught my attention:

> Childhood poverty, interestingly enough, does not seem to be connected with hoarding.

The folks I know who have been affected by this did not experience childhood poverty but rather their parents all survived the Great Depression. Generally they’ve been born in the late ‘30s, ‘40s and early ‘50s and from the stories they tell about growing up, a lot of their behaviours seem to be based on their parents’ behaviours that seem to have sprung out of young adult extreme poverty in the 1930s.
If you’re a dictator who just survived an abortive coup, then, yeah, you’re probably going to want to tighten control on what people can and can’t see. Putin is very weak right now, and likely feeling extremely insecure. For good reason; like, you would not want to be his life insurance provider right now.

This sort of this is as likely to be emotional support censorship for Vlad’s benefit as anything else; hard to imagine it being very effective, certainly. Expect more and more ineffectual crackdowns on information as he deteriorates.

It’s the same story as people building databases in Excel, while it’s small you want to look away from all the details so you choose a tool that doesn’t get in your way. Then when it grows and becomes unwieldy it’s difficult to migrate away because the data is a big mess and there is no model.

Postgres has the safety of the data as its utmost goal, while people will just rename genes because Excel automatically misinterprets them as dates.
I've taken a similar approach with the opposite effect. With books though I can understand where you are coming from.

If I was you I would look to getting rid of other things so you can keep your books or I would impose some artificial rule like "if I haven't read 10 or more pages in 3 years the book has to go."
Go and Rust are better at different things.

Go uses garbage collection, while Rust uses manual memory management with borrow-checking to ensure safety. Both are just as safe, but garbage collection is slower while Rust's manual memory management requires a lot more effort on the part of the developer. In particular, the performance of garbage collection is less predictable, making Go unsuitable for things like audio processing or video games, where you need to reliably deliver data every few milliseconds to avoid crackling audio or weird glitches. In Rust, you can predict exactly when memory will be freed, and if part of your code must always run in a predictable amount of time, this can be done. Go doesn't give you that guarantee. This isn't very important in traditional client-server apps, CLI tools etc, so go is usually fine for those.

In addition, Go requires a runtime, which is somewhat heavy. This makes it pretty unsuitable for kernels, software that runs on bare metal, microcontrollers etc. Rust doesn't have that problem.

However, Go is usually much faster to write in, as you don't have to worry about managing memory and proving to the borrow checker that you're doing it correctly. The fact that you have Goroutines instead of OS threads also makes it easier to handle lots of concurrent activities, like in a web app that concurrently handles many requests.

I usually ask: Give an example of an svg file depicting a whatever.

It often gives svg files with incomplete paths, so i tweak the output to be a valid svg file.

I also enjoy the conversational description of the drawing.

Very often it's well described, ex. "this black circle is the head, and the grey element is the fog" and the drawing is crude like a child's drawing.

The icons are made up of strokes and there are only a handful of strokes in Chinese writing. The combination of strokes and the location is arguably as complicated as spelling in English.

When I read anything, be it mandarin or Japanese or English, I attach meanings to words first. In fact, I am attaching meaning to logical structures and phrases, and then the individual words make the detail. Converting words into sounds seems to be a different skill from converting words into meaning. It really doesn’t matter whether the words are made of strokes or letters of the alphabet, the breakdown of the little details is a separate mechanism from comprehension.

Agreed -- now that the repository is open-source, it feels ripe for adapting to a smaller local model. Is it too much dreaming to imagine that if we can perhaps fine-tune a small LLaMa2 model to perform well in this context, we might even be able to get this small enough to run on consumer hardware in an actual "Sims" type game...?
All decent VPN protocols should masquerade as HTTP/2 or HTTP/3. For this reason WireGuard is pretty useless as it can be easily detected (and it is not secure because requires running code at the kernel).
A further proof that these technologies are based on the simulation of the opposite of intelligence, in more dimensions. They "do not understand", and at the same time they emulate unintelligent behaviour.

Which is relevant to the contextual topic, because from the simulation of unintelligence a good response, however frequent, is the exceptional outcome.
I'm not aware of a report that shows "popularity of Excel", but I can give some points.

* I pay for my own Excel license because it's so useful for me in a variety of contexts. My wife does all our family accounts using it.
* Globally, Microsoft estimate 1 billion monthly active Excel users, and said at a conference last year that some admin staff spend approximately 30% of the week using Excel.
* Training for Excel is a top selling course on Udemy.
* Working in Enterprise, there were a lot of people (BAs, Finance, PMs) who said they would quit if IT didn't provide Excel.

So I'd say "yes, there's a lot of people who want Excel".

I'm sure there is less enthusiasm for Outlook, but amongst people who live in calendars and email, it seems to be pretty popular.

> The hoarder tends to believe each item they have kept has value or will be valuable someday.

It makes the most sense to me to look at this from a slightly different angle.

Most things have value. What hoarders can't seem to grasp is that each item they own also reduces the value of every item they own by a small amount. Every item that someone owns is an item that they have to store, organize, clean, etc.

So, those "junk" items aren't worthless per se. They're just not worth enough to balance out the cost of keeping them, at least for most people.
I’ve ridden a 10g connection to the Internet and the main difference is that big downloads/uploads are near instant. For regular browsing it’s not that noticeable unless it’s also super low latency.

Commute from BK or Queens is still feasible, they are BIG boroughs so it differs on which part. Prices are lower but climbing, especially in neighborhoods very close to Manhattan.

Bronx still has a high crime rate; depends on where. Tremont and Highbridge are pretty rough. Lots of the Bronx is still as safe or safer than, say, East Harlem (in Manhattan).
Our system is pretty straightforward. We are 100% WFH. Whatever you do on the virtual/cloud work desktop is considered entirely property of our company. Your incidental Spotify, Youtube and 4chan visits are included in this scope. We actively encourage our employees to minimize their cloud desktop and use their thin client/MacBook/2nd computer/whatever for non-work things.

To go even further - the physical hardware we provide to our employees is no longer enrolled into IT policies. If someone uses the actual work machine to play counterstrike, we literally don't care about this anymore. It wouldn't show up on any report.

We seriously don't give a shit if someone is listening to music, having Netflix playing, etc. The only thing that matters is the work product at the end of the day. Some people are incredibly productive while listening to death metal at reference volume. Others are not. Who are we to judge?

Even though we have access to deep digital forensics on our employee's virtual desktops, we would only ever use them if there were some criminal or civil proceedings brought forth.

If you feel like you have to use the digital panopticon to micromanage your tech/knowledge employees, you are potentially a really shitty manager.

If they only require one, why would they pay the expense for providing two? Especially as "two different cars driving around with the same license plate" is one of the things you have plates to prevent. If it were only about taxes, you'd have a prominent tax sticker and be done with it.

From Mozilla's docs:

>> JavaScript Hoisting refers to the process whereby the interpreter appears to move the declaration of functions, variables, classes, or imports to the top of their scope, prior to execution of the code.

>> Hoisting is not a term normatively defined in the ECMAScript specification. The spec does define a group of declarations as HoistableDeclaration, but this only includes function, function*, async function, and async function* declarations. Hoisting is often considered a feature of var declarations as well, although in a different way. In colloquial terms, any of the following behaviors may be regarded as hoisting:

>> Being able to use a variable's value in its scope before the line it is declared. ("Value hoisting")

>> Being able to reference a variable in its scope before the line it is declared, without throwing a ReferenceError, but the value is always undefined. ("Declaration hoisting")

>> The declaration of the variable causes behavior changes in its scope before the line in which it is declared.

>> The side effects of a declaration are produced before evaluating the rest of the code that contains it.

So basically all the shit we take for granted when not writing C/C++. What is curious to me is whether the main reasons for not attempting this in a C++ compiler in 2023, or else moving the language spec in this (unofficial) direction, is to produce maximal performance-optimization, or if it's mostly a cultural thing at this point. It does have the benefit of turning away hordes of javascript kiddies from the gates, but, the relative value of the performance edge to any optimization is getting weaker as compute becomes cheaper.

Does mimetic desire recurse? Do people believe in mimetic desire because they want to be like people who believe in mimetic desire, not because they actually believe it?

> > Bubbles shouldn’t exist. They represent anomalies that are irreconcilable with deeply enshrined beliefs in market efficiency and rationality.

> The deeply enshrined beliefs are not true in practice and we have evidence out the wazoo to prove it. Why jump through hoops to explain a bad model?

I think you said this a bit badly. Market efficiency and rationality are in fact a bad model, once you look closely enough. But they're jumping through hoops to explain the deviation from a bad model. Well, if the model is bad, no weird theory is needed to explain the deviation. The deviation is very simple - the model is bad.

I think I'm agreeing with you - the rational market is an approximate theory that clearly and visibly breaks down, and Girard's memetic theory is goofy and convoluted and is not needed at all to explain economic bubbles. I just think you stated it in a bit of a confusing way.
I don't know if this is 100% a hit piece if so many people really did resign citing emad as the main problem. If he is a compulsive liar or as incompetent as his co-workers claim then it's a red flag to me.

I remember the one time talked about how he could scrape data behind paywalls and about deliberately bypassing anti-scraping techniques on Twitter. I don't think it was a very good PR move.

In the back of my mind I always had this thought that Stability could be some kind of AI accelerationist fund - hype up a shining future, raise enough capital to clear the bar for model training, release their model unencumbered and gather a fervent following of gracious users, and... not have a fully realized plan for what comes after.

But I have a feeling that even if they go under people will still be talking about Stability and their influence on generative art for a long while, at least until another freely available model can oust Stable Diffusion.

Do Twitter crowds actually do that? Do they keep track of anyone more or less prominent, and write in their comments "Have you spoken out against the war yet?" "I haven't seen you denounce the war"?
An employee was making a mistake that was costing the company thousands of dollars, and was insistent it was a system error not their fault?

Yeah, I don’t know about Canada; but, a cursory reading of the US code seems to say that mail delivered by a carrier has already had all HTS (tarrifs) applied to it, or else it couldn’t be in the country (modulo criminal enterprise). I mean, IANAL, not legal advice, etc. But… if delivered on purpose to the address, it’s a gift, and there’s no possibility of a custom on it.
I can't answer your question directly, because I don't know.

But the first keyword I would look at would be BGP.

Generally speaking, routing decisions are dynamic and constantly changing. Add the unreliability of the network layer, corporate politics and optimization heuristics to that and you get varying results.

As a physicist, I know that "quantum", "magnets", and "crystals" are all common heuristics for identifying pseudo-science. On the other hand, my thesis involved all three and I've had frustrating experiences with "skeptics" trying to debunk my work. It doesn't help that there's an alternate explanation for our apparatus that is simple, obvious, and wrong (it subtly violates conservation of angular momentum).
It’s brutal to say it, but often you handle it by some of the people involved passing away.

Even if neovim basically takes over the older vim code wouldn’t disappear, so it would continue to exist for older platforms. People still keep certain versions of GCC around for similar reasons.

Or you abuse the preprocessor and automake.

> but they’re still going to be very unique and therefore uniquely identifying (likely more so than before because of the entropy the hashing algorithm adds).

Surely hashing something can't add entropy? Assuming the hash output is smaller than its input, in the general case I'd expect the hash to have less entropy than its input.
Ha. I run WireGuard and a Tailscale network also.

I've read that some people have used port 853 to mimic encrypted DNS or other ports less than 1024 to circumvent some WireGuard limits. I've yet to run into that.

async is water under the bridge since Vim 8, both Neovim and Vim have async apis. I foresee native LSP and everything-lua to be a bigger schism between Neovim and Vim.
Yeah but that term is just you know comical. “Giants”. As if meant to inflate one’s ego, cover insecurity, and project power, like those tom and jerry cartoon episodes where they’d call in their giant friends to save the day. It amuses me every time.

> What I mean by that is that generally they need to persuade distros to be anointed the "official" tool, i.e. Debian or Fedora would have to select Neovim as the new default text instead of Vim.

You're probably right. However, I think it's more likely that the Linux distros drop Vim entirely and make Nano the default editor than that they replace Vim with Neovim.

The BSDs have nvi as the default editor, IIRC, so they won't need to change anything.
Yea this article is patently ridiculous.

As with any benefit people who have little other option or who like socialising (young city dwellers) will return to open plan bull-pits.

For others, the next proper recession (with actual unemployment) will potentially tilt the % again towards company preferences. I say company preferences as there’d be huge savings from WFH if they can make it work by then.

The fact so many companies are pushing for return suggests that it must be more profitable for the companies in question, for sales it certainly is. Their arguments > our arguments here as they have their own data.

Banks’ safe deposit boxes are a good choice if there are any near you, though they’re often expensive.

However, the security of physical things remains a difficult problem that is most easily solved with money!
Precisely. There need to be carve outs. I need to be able to check my bank balance to see if I can afford lunch with my coworkers.
