> How often did you have chocolate poisoning?

Caffeine overdoses are too common among people and I've known friends that have died or almost died from them. (I'm strongly on the never side for caffeine pill usage as the risk of an OD from coffee is much lower and involves a lot more liquid sitting on your bladder.)

Theobromine in chocolate (and tea and other places) is a Caffeine relative that in us humans has a 1/10th to 1/100th the efficacy on our caffeine receptors. In dogs that relationship is reversed and theobromine is their caffeine and death by chocolate is their caffeine overdose.

People can overdose on theobromine too, it just takes much higher quantities still than caffeine.

Which yes, aligns with your point that doses matter, but the other thing useful thing to note about the Theobromine/Caffeine relationship is that subtly different but related chemicals have wildly different effects on different metabolisms. It's not just dose that matters, but also exploring the repercussions of entire families of chemicals (and the products they break down into) because you also need to know if a "cousin" chemical has larger efficacy at lower doses in people. (Results on small animals are still an early warning sign, the directions they may warn about aren't just exposure time or dosage amount, but also related chemicals and receptor paths and many other things.)
Missoula isn't really a small town. It's a university town with a med center. It's pretty urban for a sparsely-populated western state! That said, it's in the west, so one of the biggest attractions to living there is getting out of town and into some nature.

In Australian terms, maybe it's a little like Adelaide.
> Tailwind's biggest pro is that it allows people that _don't_ know css that much to style stuff more consistently and easily

I have never understood this claim. You need a good understanding of CSS to use Tailwind effectively because it is CSS.

It’s not an alternative technology, it’s essentially just an alternative syntax—one that naturally leads away from footguns that many teams end up battling, like fragile CSS that everyone is scared to change.

You could just as easily define the utility classes yourself every time you need one, it’d just be a lot more work.
There's definitely a strategy to it. You want to avoid generally appealing things (like TVs and common electronics) for the reason you described, but the opposite end of the spectrum (niche ones) are often great.

We got two of the highest-end Toto bidet toilet seats for 60% off retail, still sealed in the packaging. Baby-related items were also pretty heavily discounted and still good.

It is taking a chance, but the chances seem to be pretty good. So far the worst we've seen is a baby swing that needed a little elbow grease to solve a minor assembly issue. It was something like 80% off retail.

We moved away from their closest warehouse so we haven't bought a lot recently, but IMO anything that reduces waste and implicitly reduces the cost of returns to retailers (by increasing the price these auctioneers pay for the goods) is good.
That’s how the US works. The states implement policies which act as a series of test cases for federal legislation once a majority of states support the law.
I'm not saying the existence of a symptom (PEM) is as good as a diagnostic test; rather, in the absence of diagnostic tests, they are "enough" to diagnose CFS. And PEM isn't the only common symptom, there are others, such as a constant lactic acid-like burning sensation in the limbs.

I know you said you don't have CFS, but trust me - the fatigue we suffer after PEM is nothing like "normal" body fatigue after exercise.

I think we'll find a diagnostic test eventually. At least, I hope we do.
The industry has evolved toward blacklisting over whitelisting on devices. It reduces IT burden significantly should problems arise, and you should index toward trusting people to do the right thing.

Overall, this approach is better. When I started in engineering back in 2000, it was still a debate as to whether developers should have admin on their own machine.
It also usually triggers a liquidity event, so the team gets paid (or their equity gets transferred to OpenAI) in a way that provides a bit of a bonus and incentive to stick around.

Nothing is being taken away from Mike_D, we are just closing the loophole where he had a house. We're not targeting Mike D the specifically, just the behavior of living at his address.

/s

More generally, these aren't loopholes. They're often clear and explicit laws that specify exactly who has the right to water. They are often explicit contracts signed by the government. Some are as explicit as you have purchased the right to use 100% of the water from this River for all of time, or you are guaranteed x amount of water at y cost for a hundred years.

Sellers remorse is not the same as a loophole.

At some point in the history of Mike D's hypothetical property, the government acknowledge the private land grant. The law has written and interpreted acknowledges the transfer of property from owner to owner overtime. Changing the law to unwind property rights is an example of ex-post recontracting.

The same is true with water rights codified and law and case law

Time over radio has been a thing since 1927!

"A radio station at Rugby was first operated by the Post Office from 1926, with the call-sign GBR. From 19 December 1927, it broadcast a 15.8 kHz time signal from the Royal Observatory which could be received worldwide. It consisted of 306 pulses in the five minutes up to and including 10:00 and 18:00 GMT, with a longer pulse at the start of each minute. "

Cool to have this multiband technology, but what about the southern hemisphere? Assuming they have time signal transmitters, too: Do watch manufacturers have different SKUs that can receive signals in the southern hemisphere? Is it possible to have a watch that receives these signals truly worldwide?
Exactly, and when you tell people not to get ahead too far ahead of themselves and wait for secondary confirmation before we get all excited, you get downvoted.

This isn't my first rodeo. I've seen this show before.

Now, one of these times, we're going to get a secondary confirmation and then things will get really exciting! Until there's such a secondary confirmation, I'm going to remain a curious sceptic.

I want to jump in and correct your usage of "LLaMA Laws" (even you are using it informally, but I just want to clarify).

There is no "LLaMA scaling law". There are a set of LLaMA training configurations.

Scaling laws describe the relationship between training compute, data, and expected loss (performance). Kaplan et al., estimated one set of laws, and the Chinchilla folks refined that estimate (mainly improving it by adjusting the learning rate schedule).

The LLaMA papers do not posit any new law nor contradict any prior one. They chose a specific training configuration that still abide by the scaling laws but with a different goal in mind.

(Put another way: a scaling law doesn't tell you what configuration to train on. It tells you what to expect given a configuration, but you're free to decide on whatever configuration you want.)
If it's done by politicians based on their views of what people should read instead of by librarians based on what they think people want to read, then it's a ban.
> You pay higher prices due to returns

Do you?

I remember when I was a cash-strapped student in France ordering photo gear from the US (Adorama or B&H) because the price + international shipping + customs + vat (the last two being applied on top of the shipping) + UPS's fees for handling customs was cheaper than buying from Europe.

You know what the kicker was? It was a tripod made in Italy.

It said "made in Italy" on it, not just an Italian brand manufactured in China. This was generally true for "regular" photo equipment (made in Japan), too.

I haven't checked the prices recently, though.

I've heard good things about JiraCLI → https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli.
Interesting how you equate a simple desire to have the ability to delete comments (ostensibly a site-supported function) with "concealing abuses" -- it says more about your own projection than anything else.

All you've done above is make baseless assumptions and imply accusations against kitanata with no basis or merit.

Might want to check your own actions out before you go accusing others of "egregious abuse" - and as you put it, dial back on the rhetoric ;)
It is NOT curation, it is literally banning them from the library

Just because it isn't a 100% ban on sales and possession also does not mean it is not a ban; it is a ban as far as it goes, schools and libraries, which is a significantly broad swath of a book's availability, especially to young readers.

It is also not "curation". Curation is done based on readership, not some narrow criteria of a particular religion. To the degree that a narrow religious criteria is used to "curate" (enforce presence of book X or absence of book Y) the content of a public school or library, it is also a likely of the 1st Amendment clause against establishment of religion — selecting the only allowed books in a govt institution based on one group's narrow interpretation of a particular religion is a strong action to establish that religion using the levers of government. If it was not such a strong action, they wouldn't be putting so much effort into doing it.

Curiously they also didn't include any books glorifying national socialism. Surely those books need to be in their too.

Obviously the curation is ideological. All curation has to have a framework of ideas. The alternative is randomly buying book.

I prefer to ask a few comprehension questions that focus on concepts we use every day on the job, like what's the cost of doubling the sequence length for GPT models, or what is cosine similarity and its applications.

Yes, as others have stated this is an old technology. I don't really understand why this is not more common in the modern day. it's not really that expensive to implement and they did it with analog chips back in the day...

Why do we have to set the time on our clock radios or on our microwaves or whatever? Why don't they just always use this Tech. I don't understand. All you have to do is allow people to store an offset for the time zone, and RTC issues are a thing of the past.
I think it's sort of assumed that most large companies in China, if not totally controlled by the government, are at least heavily involved with it.

So even if Meta or Google are collecting info, it's not for the Chinese government (and being US based, the US Government has a bit more say in what they do.)
You realize your Googling doesn't make you an expert, right? It's very easy to be an American sitting in BA and judging things from what you've read on Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean you have the slightest actual understanding of the law or its application in China.

When you can read it in Mandarin and you've lived under and seen that particular law being applied in China, come back to me -- until then, keep your armchair-lawyering and racist condescension to yourself.

No accusations, buy a dictionary and you'll see the words literally describe your actions and comments. Don't like being called arrogant and condescending? Don't make arrogant comments and be condescending towards others. Don't like the observation that your remarks are puerile? Try making remarks with a modicum of maturity and less transparent projection, then.

Evidently you're too busy playing the victim to actually have any evidence to deny my point. Going "If YoU GoOgLe It" and making out like you're oppressed somehow is all you've got, then you don't have any kind of logical or sound basis for your "arguments" in the first place - such as they are.

That's a lot of baseless assumption you've got there, buddy - all from the mind that gave us, "have you ever met a person"[1] ...which is the most transparent non-argument trolling attempts appear on HN of late.

Bit hypocritical of you to try and harp on about kindness when all you've done is make baseless assumptions and false accusations to numerous people in recent threads... but then if you don't think you're being disingenuous, then you clearly won't have the forethought or self-awareness to realize that's not being "kind" ... which feeds back to the arrogance and narcissism observations, in a convenient little bundle.

Going "I think x" is a bit ridiculous when you literally stated the "right to be forgotten" didn't exist -- then when you were shown otherwise, you got petulant and resorted to baseless assumptions and ad-hominems. You're not IMAX, so there's no reason to be projecting that much.

No one said sex is "bad".

Support for explicit sexual content in public schools is the minority opinion. As such, it is up to supporters to present the case for it's benefits, and the responsibility of parents who hold those views to expose their children to descriptions and depictions of sexual acts.
a quick overview of the startup economy

1) have an idea, negotiate seed funding. Someone will give you a bunch of money to make an MVP. the "angel" or "seeder" will exchange money for a percentage of the company. They will have a say in how its run

2) grow the company according to the metrics that make you look valuable (market share is normally the common one)

3) growing costs money, so raise a "series a" same deal as before, either seeder/angels are bought out, or their share of the company is diluted in exchange for more monoey from the funders, typically a VC.

4) repeat until either bankrupt, IPO, Profitable, or boughtout.

Now. As an early employee, you are given shares in the company. Typically <1%. the more rounds you have, the more diluted that percentage gets.

when the company is bought out, your shares are exchanged for a price. however as you didn't put the money in, you are a way down the pecking order for getting the cash. Not only this, but a "buyout" price is rarely the headline price. For example CTRL-Labs[1] was "bought out" for $500 mill. However thats not the price they paid for the company. thats the price paid for the company and the "golden handcuffs" to keep employees.

of that 500mill some of is say <75m will go to physically buy the company, the rest will go towards golden handcuffs to keep the employees working. After all, if you give most of the company >$2m upfront, they'll say "work for facebook? fuck that, I'm retiring"

So to combat that, you'll get your 0.0001% of $75m, then offered a contract with the new company that will give you shares that will be released to you gradually after a certain cool off period, say one year (Fb and google give you 6.25% every 3 months.) That means that to get your $2m you need to work for the new company for four years.

You're thinking exponential population loss.

Climate change will kill it linearly, and in a multi-modal process; as zones that become too hot will force population migration, which will come with a certain amount of loss of life for one reason or another. Younger generations are having fewer kids, not getting their drivers license at anywhere near the same rate as older generations. They're pulling away from other fossil fuel intense organized activities like sports, where it's resource intense to haul people and gear for bread and circus night.

All of that will change human agency patterns around the globe and come with some level of population loss that might otherwise been prevented if it had never been necessary.

The cause and effect of leveraging past statistical models to predict the future. What the elders keep doing wrong is simply using their recent prior experience to be some kind of immutable truism about reality.

We let technology fetishism take hold of a quirk of biology religion stumbled upon.

Adam Smith is claimed to have wrote along the lines of the division of labor taken to its extreme would lead to a kind of human that is less intelligent than the dumbest creature on the planet. I assume he means infantile, coddled.

I am growing more and more fond of my rural/farm land upbringing lately. Growing food, hunting, fixing tractors to help the community as Reagan looted their pensions to fund GenX, whose kids are now the bag holders, provides an interesting perspective; I later earned an MSc in math so I get "both sides" contributions to economy first hand. All sides act like cognitive authorities, and it's fucking exhausting having to remind people I feel no immutable obligation to them specifically. To me we're lucky to be alive, whatever level of material existence they have is not on me to preserve. I've seen too many get screwed for reasons we could prevent, so I really don't care if either side gets its ass handed to it.

>It is NOT curation, it is literally banning them from the library

Then 99.999% of books are banned as well. Cry about those too.
When people are faced with negative outcomes resulting from things they approve of, they do this passive-aggressive bit where they pretend to have a valid point.
Would you consider Facebook preventing a user from posting to be "banning" or "censorship"? Even though they can still post on, say, Twitter?

> Ok either this is a niche issue or its the next holocaust. It can’t be both.

Your lower bounds on what qualifies as "not niche" is the hecking holocaust? Holy crud.

The holocaust was one of the single largest mass-death events in modern history. It is possible for a thing to be serious while not being worse than the holocaust. That is not a binary.
Draw clear lines then.
No, it is not binary.

Alpha or beta particles damages DNA by breaking chemical bonds in the DNA backbone or bases, leading to single-strand breaks or more severe damage.

Gamma rays can directly ionize atoms, leading to the formation of free radicals and other reactive species. These free radicals can damage DNA by causing single-strand and double-strand breaks, base modifications, and other types of chemical damage.

Non-ionizing radiation can also damage DNA, in a number of different ways. UV radiation damages DNA in four different ways:

1) Thymine Dimers Formation: One of the most common types of UV-induced DNA damage is the formation of thymine dimers. In DNA, thymine (one of the four nucleotide bases) absorbs UV radiation and becomes excited. In this excited state, it can react with an adjacent thymine base on the same strand, forming a covalent bond between them. This creates a thymine dimer, which is a distortion in the normal DNA structure. Thymine dimers can disrupt the DNA replication and transcription processes, leading to genetic mutations if not properly repaired.

2) DNA Strand Breaks: UV radiation can also cause breaks in the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule. These breaks can occur directly due to the energy of the UV radiation or indirectly through the formation of reactive oxygen species. DNA strand breaks can interfere with DNA replication and repair mechanisms.

3) Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers (CPDs): CPDs are a specific type of thymine dimer that forms when two adjacent pyrimidine bases (usually thymine) become covalently bonded. These dimers create a kink in the DNA structure, causing distortion and affecting the proper functioning of DNA enzymes.

4) Oxidative Damage: UV radiation can lead to the production of reactive oxygen species within cells. These highly reactive molecules can damage DNA and other cellular components by causing oxidative stress.

There could be ways non-UV, non-ionizing radiation can damage DNA as well, and studies such as this one explore that idea.
But the real question is whether or not an LLM can let someone who can hear the music (they’re an expert in the context, the project, and the business environment) but who can’t read or write the sheet music (can’t code) will be able to make the computer do what it needs to do well enough using the LLM as a sort of person to machine translator to eliminate the need for a person to listen to the subject matter expert and write the code.
> By contrast, once you pass the event horizon of a black hole, these properties swap.

Sigh. No. They do not. Moreover, nothing special at all happens to you when you pass the event horizon.

In fact, if you are free-falling then you should not even be able to detect the crossing using only local experiments.

> It's possible to "move freely" in time in the sense that you can find reference frames that appear to move backwards in time.

Nope.

What happens is that your spatial directions become more and more constrained, until they collapse into a single point (the singularity). And then you'll just exist in this single point forever, according to GR.

From your viewpoint, it'll look like the singularity becomes an infinite plane that cuts off most of your field of vision. You'll be falling towards this plane, but until the last moment you'll be able to receive signals from outside of the black hole.

If someone puts a stationary clock outside the black hole's event horizon, you won't see it going faster or slower. And for any realistic black hole, your trip to the singularity will consume only a short time according to that clock.
