The problem is temperature. At sub-zero temperatures, these reactions are temperature dependent and they exponentially slow down the lower the temperature is. Here's a table from a monograph written by an expert,

> The library plans to dispose of its acetate film collection after the rare film reels and microfiches have been copied over, in part due to health and safety concerns. In its most advanced state Duncan says vinegar syndrome can cause contact burns, as well as irritation to the nose and lungs.

The real story here isn't that the film is decaying, but rather that we don't want these films to rot away while, at the same time, not valuing them enough to chuck them in a freezer and pay for the cooling bills.
It's really a roll of the dice. My mother was scared of me getting on Escitalopram because it gave her panic attacks but it was literally a silver bullet from me. 10mg a day turns me from a broken brain to a mostly normal human brain. It's such a lightswitch effect that sometimes I wonder if I'm overselling it to myself, and then I forget to get my prescription refilled for a couple days and I can feel that anxiety creeping back in from the edges, trying to make it's insidious way back into my life, and then I remember why I take it.

My understanding is that each SSRI type med has a roughly 30% chance of working for you, though the odds are slightly connected for SSRIs that are similar.

What makes this so surprising is that Charles has voiced Mario (as well as Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, etc) for over 30 years, with the recent Super Mario Bros Movie and the Japanese version of WarioWare Gold being some of the very few instances where he didn't voice his usual characters.

That's very rare in the entertainment industry. Most major franchises recast their characters at least once or twice in their lifetime, with the likes of James Bond and Doctor Who even justifying the change of cast in universe. Heck, I suspect only The Simpsons and certain soap operas have ever been a situation where the same character was played by the same actor for this amount of time or longer, and even there it's incredibly rare to see (most soap opera characters get written out of the show, and the main Simpsons cast being so consistent is still insane).

So it's like seeing your childhood icon change after decades here.

Still, I guess it was kinda inevitable. Martinet is nearing 70 at this point, and his portrayals of his characters in certain recent games (like Luigi's Mansion 3) have felt a bit rough compared to how they used to sound. So I suspect it was a case of 'better step back now while I can still train people how to do the relevant voices rather than be forced to quit because I can't do said voices at all anymore'

The car example in the article is exactly backwards. Snowflake is the Toyota Camry. It's a mass market solution that fits a lot of basic use cases. Readers are conflating the licensing cost of Snowflake with total cost of ownership, which is quite different. The equation tilts further toward Snowflake as you load more data into it. It has a pretty efficient sharing model using virtual data warehouses.

If you need the Ferrari, that's when you build with open source. If I want real-time response at fixed cost on large amounts of data I'm going to take ClickHouse with a customized stack every time. But not every problem needs that solution.

(I work at a ClickHouse vendor and know its habits. But you could say the same about Druid or other databases.)

I'm not referring to the Haber-Bosch process. Fischer-Tropsch process also uses syngas mosty derived by steam reforming methane. FT is used to make a variety of hydrocarbons.

If we are breaking hydrocarbons down to build them back from scratch might as well use the cheapest feedstock. That is currently methane. The nice thing about methane is we can get it almost for free, anywhere, using biology. That means we can continue our high energy lifestyle relying less on moving energy around.
Aren't HSMs built to fail closed? Surely the designers would have added some protection mechanism that shuts down/resets the module when it encounters anomalous voltage inputs. Or is the attack surface simply too wide for that to be feasible?

That’s a hot take. Big Sur’s redesign is perfectly fine.

I've always had trouble with reconciling the jump from DNA to behaviours.
These behaviours can be affected by a complex combination of genetics and epigenetic modifications leading to changes like modified neuronal patterning in the brain or changes in neural circuitry that can affect how readily certain neural patterns are forged which is further influenced by biological factors (learned behaviours and experiences).

> If all of your main force is expected to wield it, it becomes a primary weapon.

There was a period of time when all Englishmen were required to train with a longbow.

I guess also it depends on what you mean by "primary" if it means the primary weapon of an individual soldier, it's obviously false, because archers primarily used their bows, in many armies. But if it means the main weapon used by the builk of the soldiers, then in most cases it probably wasn't a bow. But that isn't because of the ineffectiveness of the weapon. It's really just part of the "egalitarian" point. Shooting a bow effectively requires considerably more skill than say using spear, or even hacking with a sword.
Inflation something something
This is kind of ridiculous if you know academics at all. Meeting people in person, knowing the right people makes a huge difference to even things like getting your papers accepted. Job committees in India look favorably at papers presented internationally. Most committee folks have no real idea about your work and go by prestige of vanues it was presented at, people who recommended you etc. Not being able to participate is essentially getting locked out.
If you really don't think hacker culture can be life-and-death, consider the case of Aaron Swartz.

Most hackers I'd consider quintessential hackers don't have names for, because anonymity/pseudonymity is a big part of hacker culture as it originated.

Now, I'm not here to gatekeep (as you are) and I'm not here to fight back against the trend of every mildly-nerdy intellectual pursuit being lumped into "hacking"--if it makes you feel good, feel free to call yourself a hacker. But if we're coming up with examples of hackers, I'd definitely call using a houseboat to travel more hacker-y than tinkering with model trains.

Gorilla: LLMs Connected to APIs Explained
Hey everyone, I am SUPER excited to present a paper summary video of "Gorilla: Large Language Models connected to Massive APIs" by Patil et al. 2023!

LLMs have been supercharged by connecting them with external tools. An external tool could be a search engine, code executor, calculator, calendar, email, CRM, and many others! Although GPT-4 is fairly strong at formatting API requests zero-shot (without additional training), Gorilla shows that specialized training can outperform it significantly! In addition to the accuracy performance, this is also achievable with a much cheaper 7 billion parameter model, derived by fine-tuning the Meta AI LlaMA-2 7B checkpoint!!
There are all sorts of interesting details about this paper covered in the video, from the APIBench dataset to Self-Instruct training data generation, Retrieval-Aware Training, and the miscellaneous details of Gorilla! I hope you enjoy the paper summary video! As always I am more than happy to answer any questions or discuss any ideas you have related to the content in the video!
P.S. Please stay tuned for Weaviate Gorilla!

The question is, since commercial illustrators can be more efficient using AI, will the total number of jobs in the space lower, or will the expectation for commercial illustration increase, thus increasing the workload and keeping the number of jobs the same.
We just used RAID6... expanding by more drives is easy while keeping data waste low and the "we want to put bigger drives now" case isn't all that problematic considering that what you save you waste on low efficiency of RAID1 setup.

We did had a big case so we just ran 2xRAID6 setup and that one time where it was needed we just replaced to bigger drives one by one, while using the removed ones as spares for other machines. But that's benefit of scale bigger than "a NAS server".

>few people are aware that JSON allows key duplication in "hash-tables"

I would say it's the other way around. Many people seem to think that duplicate keys are allowed in JSON, but the spec says "An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs". Sets, by definition, do not allow duplicates.

https://www.json.org/json-en.html

>There are many other things, like, for example, JSON has too many of the "false" values. When different languages generate JSON they may interpret things like "missing key" and "key with the value null" as the same thing or as a different thing. Similarly, for some "false" and "null" are the same thing, while for others it's not.

I don't see how this is a JSON issue. There's only one false value in JSON. If some application code or mapping library is hellbent on misinterpreting all sorts of things as false then there is no way to stop that on a data format level.

What I do agree with is your critcism of how the interpretation of long numbers is left unspecified in the JSON spec. This is just sloppy and should be fixed.
That will obviously vary quite a lot across a country the size of America. Local to me, DUI is extremely frowned upon.

But yes, it is somewhat common for people to have an idea of what it takes to get to a BAC of 0.08%, because that is the threshold at which you will be charged with DUI. For many regular drinkers, they won't be impaired at 0.08% and it takes less alcohol than you think to get there. Especially with modern microbrew beers. Getting a DUI will completely f*ck over your life, so if you like to drink socially, you are very careful.

Yes, "being the good guys" is not rewarded in the system. Any reward happens external to the system (at least any reward that can't already be achieved by lying about it, i.e. having a PR budget instead of morals). That does not make "being the good guys" bad, it just means if we want people to be that, we can't have that under the system we have.

Founding a co-op arguably avoids some of that but as you correctly point out there is little incentive to do business with co-ops if you have to (or want to) act optimally within the system (which depending on your resource constraints can mean "being able to feed yourself and continuing to have a roof over your head"). This is why co-ops are somewhat incestuous: there are for example marketing co-ops which primarily do marketing for other co-ops, which in turn prefer paying co-ops to do their marketing, because they're all in the same boat. Alternatively many co-ops target the public sector or municipal governments as they're less profit-focussed and instead often hire for things co-ops can more easily guarantee (e.g. avoiding child labor in supply chains, "green energy", various sustainability metrics etc).

You can't outcompete unethical businesses when being ethical is a competitive disadvantage. No matter how many regulations we bolt onto it, the system will always reward those companies that try to game them rather than those that genuinely believe in their stated ethical goals. Of course that doesn't mean the regulations are pointless: often trying to do the bare minimum yields better externalities than not doing anything at all.
Illegal gambling was not a big problem in the UK. A lot of the harm from gambling does not hinge on legality. It hinges on the suppliers manipulation of human psychology to induce people to continue to gamble well beyond their means resulting in people stealing from employers and family and committing suicide.

"Fifteen years on from the dawn of the Gambling Act 2005, and the landscape has changed beyond recognition. A casino can now be accessed from your pocket 24/7 and half of UK adults gamble at least once a month. But hiding in plain sight is a world of regret, exploitation and shattered lives underpinning an industry that claims to be ‘just a bit of fun’ generating £14bn in profit.

The House of Lords Gambling Industry Select Committee estimate that 60 per cent of online gambling profits come from the 5 per cent of customers experiencing gambling problems, with estimates of disordered gambling rates ranging from 340,000 to 1.4 million. The industry’s practices create disordered gamblers and then exploit them. The harm caused goes far beyond financial losses. It is estimated by Gambling with Lives that there are between 250 and 650 gambling related suicides every year."

> No it's not.

> Anecdata: plenty of Indian citizens in Europe go troublefree to the US.

> I personally know a few people.

I have my anecdata too, I know a few people who are travelling to Europe and they're getting single entry fixed dates visas every time. Sure they "go troublefree" by some definition, but in their home country they'd most certainly get long-term multivisas. And that's not even mentioning queue times...

> You make it sound like they would illegally-immigrate to America.

Have you ever been on a visa interview in US embassy? These guys view most people as willing to illegally immigrate to America. It's your burden to prove that you're going to return, and every fact counts.

> Why would someone who's legally present in Europe (and presumably tax-paying) sneak away to America?

Higher salaries, better job market, better living conditions, you name it.

> If such people want to immigrate to America it's fair to assume they would do it the proper way (instead of going there on a tourist visa and disappearing).

The proper way when you are selling your soul to a corporation for 3 to 5 years (L1)? Or the proper way when you are playing lottery with little-to-no chance to win (DV)? Or the proper way when you are playing lottery with a slightly higher chance to win, but with a 10+ years path to permanant resident status (H1B)? Like, the only somewhat working way to legally immigrate to America is to either grind portfolio for O1 visa, or to go study and try very hard to change status there.

US immigration system is so fucked up there is no proper way easier than crossing Mexican border and legalizing as a refugee. Or "disappearing" on tourist visa.
Most people sure. But mid-covid a lot of otherwise sane very intelligent people (cough coworkers *cough) fell for this rubbish. Probably a side effect of the isolation and getting fed echo chamber nonsense 8 hours plus a day.

Electricity is a little less fungible than folks make it out to be.

Iceland, for example, has abundant energy from various sources such as geothermal. However, that energy is not easy to send across the ocean to consumers. So, Iceland instead smelts a lot of aluminum, which takes a lot of energy, and is far easier to export cost-effectively.

So a kWh produced in Iceland is not exactly the same as a kWh produced in Germany; it's not truly fungible.

In that vein, datacenters are often placed in such areas. One at Microsoft for example is in Wyoming, near a hydro dam that is far from any dense population.

Cynicism is warranted, as there's a conflict of interest. Hope my comment doesn't imply deafeatism or anything, but for 'local' 'small town' corruption, I wouldn't trust the county or even the state to do be impartial as the phrase 'small world' has a completely different meaning. I'd prefer the feds to step in, that's all. Why is that considered cynical when the DOJ in the past has investigated countless civil rights violations by local or state level institutions?
So basically inconsequential bulk

>Mental stress releases CRP

The body is full of these chicken-egg relationships. It really is a gigantic and bewildering system of positive and negative feedback loops (in terms of effect, not value judgements). Mental stress is one trigger, sure, but if you accept my interpretations below it is not much of a leap to see that CRP can also lead to significant increases in mental stress.

I think it would be more accurate to say inflammation isn't the primary underlying cause but is rather an adaptive response gone awry. However, once triggered, inflammation (and it's downstream effects) can have a significant influence on one's subjective experience and behavior, by way of physiological alterations to brain chemistry and function.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6658985/

>Increased inflammation is seen in the periphery in both depression and fatigue. This inflammation leads to increased permeability of the BBB,* allowing for easier entry of inflammatory molecules or immune cells into the CNS.

If you happen to have a disruption/disorder of your microbiome that includes loosening of the tight junctions of your epithelium (aka intestinal permeability aka "leaky gut"), that means that cytotoxic byproducts of bacterial metabolism and your body's immune responses to their presence (eg Mast cell release of histamine, heparin, cytokines, chemokines, etc) can enter your bloodstream and then cross your BBB to get into your brain.

I believe that inflammation plays a role in each of these three steps: loosening of the tight junctions in epithelium, release of chemical mediators by mast cells (eg in response to detection of cytokines, rather than strictly in the presence of allergens and toxins), and increasing the permeability of the blood brain barrier.

The chemokines are particularly concerning:
