I suppose the only thing that I can point out that might help assuage your fear is this kind of fail state is very common and has been for a long time with language prediction. It's the extention of tapping the first choice on your phone's autocorrect a bunch of times in a row. It used to be much more common and much easier to reproduce with gpt2 and such models, where you had to put in some text and it would continue in the same style before they developed the conversational style interface with chatgpt. Any nonsensical starting text would result in this kind of fragmentary output

I was watching a youtube video that was on teh front page of youtube, and it was some bloke somewhere in the US, a rural location, he was filming a piece on his phone and all of a sudden all these secret service cars turned up which shocked him, because he thought he was on his own in a rural location. I dont know if it was near anything of importance or not.

Aside, a related concept:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefigurative_politics

"modes of organization and social relationships that strive to reflect the future society being sought by the group. According to Carl Boggs, who coined the term, the desire is to embody "within the ongoing political practice of a movement [...] those forms of social relations, decision-making, culture, and human experience that are the ultimate goal". Besides this definition, Leach also gave light to the definition of the concept stating that the term "refers to a political orientation based on the premise that the ends a social movement achieves are fundamentally shaped by the means it employs, and that movement should therefore do their best to choose means that embody or prefigure the kind of society they want to bring about". Prefigurativism is the attempt to [act] [prefigurativly]."

It only seems to document that there's group scheduling for SMT cores. But that doesn't prevent issues due to switching between customers on the same physical core, no?

"It is possible, however, for two burstable performance EC2 instances to run sequentially (not simultaneously) on the same core. It is also possible for physical memory pages to be reused, remapped, and swapped in and out as virtual memory pages. However, even burstable instances never share the same core at the same time, and virtual memory pages are never shared across instances. "

I only started reading the paper - so I very well might be wrong here - but it doesn't look to me like you need victim/attacker to be scheduled simultaneously on two SMT threads, but that a single core sequentially executing victim / attacker code would be vulnerable. It's possible that the cross-customer "context switch" is larger than the the vulnerable window, but I'd not want to bet on it.
San Francisco is a government that represents the people who live there. If the people of San Francisco want no robot cars until they're reasonably safe, that's a call they should get to make. If that means the loss of the things you mention, all of which I doubt would change much, well, that's a choice they can make. And as an actual San Francisco resident, I personally favor cutting back on the number of robot cars until they're demonstrably much safer.

Changing gears using a front derailleur is a pain in the ass, but cleaning and lubricating the chain (+casette +chain rings) after every ride in the rain, is not?! When it's not raining, there's also the issue of dust.

You don't need super duper brakes for casual riding, hydraulic disk brakes are good enough without much maintenance, maybe just once per year.

Unless the tires are skinny, they shouldn't puncture very often and replacing them isn't that hard or expensive.

You won't break any speed records with a belt and an internal gearhub, but they aren't that inefficient especially when you don't waste time or money cleaning the traditional drivetrain.

I don't think this is quite true. We don't need a thermometer measurement to know historical temperature.

"After analyzing enough ice core slices, which may each represent anywhere from a week to a year of time, a researcher can look for patterns to track changes in the atmosphere's composition and temperature, and what activity on Earth shaped it... The ratio of "light" oxygen-16 to "heavy" oxygen-18 in a sample, for instance, reveals the global temperature when the ice formed; " [1]

If we're counting integrated graphics in this, then AMD probably ain't anywhere close to being in 3rd. Between AMD and Intel, AMD's at around 35-40% of the CPU market (per https://www.statista.com/statistics/735904/worldwide-x86-int...), and most of those are probably going to be APUs or otherwise have an integrated GPU.

Even family health insurance typically costs 20k-30k in total (employer included) premiums a year. Life, dental, and vision are not even worth mentioning in comparison. This sounds like it's over the six figure mark to me. Perhaps some of this is generous retirement benefits?

The article also says:

> Prior to the new deal, the company said drivers earned about $95,000 in pay annually on average or about $42 an hour, and another $50,000 in benefits.

So they're definitely breaking 100k now.
For anyone like me who has struggled with insomnia, I have found that "sleep restriction", as used by this and other apps, to be the most impactful thing I have ever done. I've tried every sleep aide, pharmaceutical, and cognitive practice imaginable and nothing can even hold a candle to sleep restriction. I paid for a different app for a personalized schedule but the process is simple. These are the basics:

- Go to bed very late at a time when you can barely keep your eyes open, for me it was 2am. Do normal sleep hygiene things until this time so stay away from screens and stressful stuff. Do this for the same time every night.

- Do not use bed for anything except sleep. We are rewiring our brains so that bed = sleep and that's it. No reading, no screens, nothing except sleep happens in the bed.

- Wake up after ~5 hours with an alarm. This sucks and I hated it but I stuck with it for 2-3 weeks and it shifted my entire existence. My sleep window was 2am-7am.

- The first days will be hard and you may not sleep through that entire window. The important part is to wake up at the prescribed wake up time or whenever you wake naturally (very hard) consistently for a period of several weeks

- Over time, you should be able to sleep through that window. For me, the process of being able to consistently sleep for a scheduled window was enough to prove that there was nothing "wrong" with me as I had told myself for 20+ years.

- Over a longer time, you bring the bedtime up so you get more and more sleep, generally 15-minutes each time.

After 20 years of insomnia, the past year has been the best sleep of my life. I only get ~6-7 hours or so per night but it is deep, restful sleep that is generally uninterrupted if I stick to this regiment. The beginning is not fun but over time I have adjusted to the hours and, most importantly, have outgrown the story and habits that drove my insomnia. For me, I knew how to sleep but I had decades of sleep anxiety and surrounding stress to get past. Being so tired you can do nothing except sleep helps you rewire your association with your bed away from "sleep is stressful" towards "sleep is easy".

I paid for the Sleep Reset app to walk me through everything. Because I paid money for it, I probably had a higher degree of success than if I just Googled stuff and half-assedly tried to incorporate it. For ~$200, the app certainly has high margins and made money off of me but it was the best $200 I ever spent.
No, it definitely captures i

Maybe this example where it returns the closures from a function is convincing?

Zonian here. There was zero chance of ever creating a lock free canal. The amount of digging required for that was not possible in the early 1900s. I think pumping water in those days was far too impractical. Ships need to get raised 85 ft and then lowered 85 ft for the passage. Using gravity to fill the lock chambers was an ingenious solution and minimized the amount of digging. Thousands of people died building the canal and digging from Gamboa to Gatun just wasn’t going to work.

In the rainy season there aren’t any water issues. It’s the dry season that is the problem.

It means he thinks people should be paid more than UPS drivers to sit in a fabric box all day developing fart apps for iPhone.

But if it had been a different type of eruption, it could have caused worldwide cooling, right? Isn’t that what happened after Mt. Pinatubo?

I think the theory is that “importance” shouldn’t really drive salary. The ability to find someone to do the same job for less money should.

If the industry cannot reliably deliver packages with proper security, safety, reliability, humanity, etc. without this level of compensation, then it’s the right number.

The interesting thing about this salary is that if you can actually earn that much without an expensive education or hard-to-attain skills, then there would likely be a lot of people saying, “heck I’ll do that for less! It sure beats massive debt and this shitty job I have.” And salaries would correct… unless there’s more to this story, or a union stops the system from correcting.

Apparently the brand name `Zurzuvae` in the first paragraph links to a PDF of the full prescribing info from the FDA. Pages 17-18 list the exact changes in HAM-D score over the first 15 days on the drug and the following 30 days after.

Both Zurzuvae and Placebo showed improvement in HAM-D over the 15 day period, but Zurzuvae showed a greater improvement. (From 28.6 to 13, vs 28.8 to 17.2, for a difference of -4.0 points, where lower is better.)

Its metrics on HumanEval seem not particularly good (26.89 Pass@1 for it vs. 61.64 for PanGu-Coder2 15b). Is it targeting a very specific latency for responses? I'd think a 15b quantization should run fast enough for most use cases? Even phi-1 1.3B has better performance at 50.6.
No, your framing is incorrect. Free software is, by its very nature, open for anyone to use or contribute to. If you don't know how to program, then you can learn. You can pay someone to do it, or convince someone to do it some other way.

This is how all human relations operate. It is not specific to free software.
