Perhaps contrary to what you’re saying, many published studies say that mRNA injections stay in the muscle and local lymph nodes, not reaching systemic circulation in a meaningful way. See “Where does the vaccine go?” here which cites two studies: https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/where-mrna-vaccines-and-sp...

I guess I didn’t realize getting to nearby lymph nodes was part of “local to the muscle”

There is just more than a singular definition of identity in English and one of them can't be stolen while several others can. Impersonation is one way of stealing one of those definitions identity theft refers to. This doesn't mean the definition of identity is simultaneously violated.

The victim of impersonation isn't held accountable for the action of the criminal, particularly with banks. That's precisely what identity theft laws protect. I'm in favor of making that process even easier for the victim wherever possible but changing the name is not that.

I'm happy to see Experian fined. Last year, Experian kept sending me spam with the footer "This is not a marketing email" and I kept trying to unsubscribe. Eventually, I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that this violated CAN-SPAM.

I'd like to think that my report contributed to this fine (although that's probably optimistic). In any event, Experian had to take the time to respond. They also canceled my unwanted "complimentary membership with Experian CreditWorks Basic", which ended the spam. So I recommend filing complaints if appropriate.
Well if I'm going to be rude I'd best be profoundly rude.
What? I do not see how any state could not allow remote workers.

And all states have long required employers to register with the state government for tax purposes if they employ someone working in the state, as well as comply with the state’s labor laws.

The original document initially mentioned the 'software industry' and I indicated that by signing it, I would be legally agreeing not to work in the software industry at all. They mentioned they would provide a more specific definition, but I still found it unusual. I understand signing an NDA, but a non-compete agreement feels more like giving them the right to sue me if they choose to.
All greenlet does is allow the Python frames to managed separately from the C call stack - it is very similar to what Pypy is also doing. I don't think your characterization is at all accurate.
Your account of an awe experience is quite common. Francis Collins had a similar experience. I am not unaware of these accounts.

I agree with much of what you said. But I also think it makes people a tad more open to irrationality after such experiences, even the knowledgeable ones.

First Autonomous AI Assistant in the Business Travel Industry Launched
There's a whole subculture called survivalism (or prepping) [1] dedicated to that kind of thing. You may want to look that up.

You also may be interested in the article "Doomsday planning for less crazy folk". [2] It has been previously discussed on HN [3], and it's also been expanded into a book titled "Practical Doomsday". [4]

I'm personally advocating for tighter border controls. It has the immediate effect of helping with stagnating real wages, and might also help with the contingent problem of climate migrants.

If I were in their position then maybe applying to random jobs wouldn’t be the right strategy. Instead either ensure you have enough contact information available for leads to come in, or reach out to connections at companies to get warm introductions.

How this usually turns out...

1. We got into this microservices fad and built this really granular service architecture which we're so proud of but is actually a pile of steaming shit and we're in denial.

2. We forgot to consider that a service boundary is a transaction and/or failure domain and now we have this distributed operation that has to be transactional because it's crapping itself 50 times a day and clients are complaining that something is inconsistent somewhere.

3. Read Martin Fowler's blog and this blog article while having a post-work shit in the bathroom.

4. Come out with a half baked understanding of distributed transactions which is good enough for your ego to think is a really good business outcome.

5. Design another fucking microservice and correlation system for transaction registration.

6. Hand it over to some junior and senior developers who half-ass the whole thing because they don't understand your inane ramblings and have no idea how to test it properly.

7. Throw it into production and shout SUCCESS as loud as possible over the sounds of creaking, grinding and explosions.

How this should have turned out...

1. Actually realise that you're only doing about 5 million transactions a day and that's hardly anything.

2. Stuff the whole shebang behind a monolith with a single call, single transaction and in one storage and failure domain.

3. Pay for a slightly fatter DB instance.

4. Go back to developing things with a better ROI.

Apologies for the bitterness but it is realistic.
Can anyone share their thoughts on how does this compare to fine-tuning Llama2 13B or 70B which usually requires renting GPUs from one of the cloud providers?

In case of openAI, the infra doesn't needs to be rented but the cost is covered in usage pricing but want to hear from someone who has experience fine-tuning Llama2 models that how it compares.

If you still disagree please try to make an argument without mentioning banks.

I don't think it's possible to avoid mentioning the banks. They are the ones committing the harm against you.

They are a stand-in for numerous other institutions who abuse you. You can take the name "bank" to mean any organization who is defrauded, and then abuses you to obtain repayment for that fraud.

I think it's important to recognize that this is a two-step process. The middle-man in this procedure is crucial, because they are the ones with a lot of power to use the legal system against you. If they were somebody other than a bank or other significant corporation, you'd be able to say, "No, I'm not the John Smith you gave money to. Go away and find that person." The imbalance makes it necessary to define the argument in terms of banks and similar institutions.

I kind of feel that every single person that has had good experiences with microservices actually experienced something that doesn't fit the "micro" description, and often enough not even "service".

If the thing can encapsulate an entire transaction, then it's taking care of an entire business vertical. What I do agree, it's one of the best ways to partition your services (just after not doing it). But calling this a "microservice" only serves to confuse people.

Yea, but that's specifically the only one that isn't optional. Almost all other forms of ID are voluntary as long as you understand that voluntary means you accept not participating in some privileged activities (like driving a car on a road for a drivers license).

The US is actually insane about how little identification they require from residents and also not great about how expensive it can be to acquire certain forms of ID.
That is the issue, I know that servers in EU are in Rotterdam, that is why I mentioned it, but it is far away.
Except that bitrate is highly variable; a high quality stream of static content can use way less bandwidth than a lower quality stream encoding a lot of motion.

Now keep in mind they’re continually developing; perhaps testing different scaling preferences, or different codecs like AV1; suddenly you need a host of different bandwidth:estimated quality rates, that change over time and need to be kept in sync with client side changes… it’s not worth it

So, as somebody who has fine tuned llama2 (13b) on both a new prompt template / chat format, as well as instruction following, summarization, knowledge graph creation, traversing a knowledge graph for information, describing relationships in the knowledge graph, etc.

It is able to use the knowledge graph to write coherent text that is well structured, lengthy, and follows the connections outlined in the graph to the logical conclusions, while deriving non-explicit insights from the graph in it's writings.

Just to say, i've seen a giant improvement in performance from Llama2 by fine tuning. And like I said, just 13b...I am perfecting the dataset with 13b before moving to 70b.

3.5-turbo is sometimes okay, i've tested it moderately for the same tasks i've been training/testing Llama2 on, and it's just a bit behind. Honestly, my fine tune is more consistent than gpt4 for a good number of the tasks i've trained.
Funny that headless is now considered "traditional," when that was considered standard for a decade and a half. Relying on the platform was considered amateur.

I don't know a lot about Thiel, for the others this rings fairly true. I would possibly suggest that Musk might not be about self-aggrandizement for the sake of wanting to 'be the guy who did it' or statues. I always thought that his problem was he was trying to assert that he wasn't worthless. This is all armchair psych so grain-of-salt and all that, but it seemed to me most of his issues come from overreacting to criticism.
> It seemed like Microsoft's product complexity and dedication to backwards compatibility of software would make them the ones to move software management forward.

That's precisely why they _didn't_ go with the package manager model of software distribution.

Package managers in most distros assume that everything you download via apt/dnf is a part of the operating system and integrates with whatever dependencies the OS ships with. It's a great system if you're an operating system maintainer, but terrible if you're a third-party software developer who has no interest in dealing with 5-6 different OS's repo formats and dependency versions. On Windows and macOS, you vendor most everything, provide runtime installers for the rest, and that's usually enough to be resilient to bitrot.

Package formats like Flatpak, Snap and AppImage are the only projects who seem to be taking the problem of software distribution on Linux seriously, and of those only Flatpak seems to have the mature tooling and lack of myopia necessary to pull it off. For the times that I do miss apt on Windows, chocolatey is pretty good at installing software and vcpkg works great for linkable libraries.

It's even how we as biological systems work, there's plenty of evidence of old stuff and iterations still within every body and within every cell. This even was an explicit programming paradigm in the 60s and 70s, "extensible programming", for example driven by a lot of the designers of languages such as Smalltalk, aiming to enable systems that can grow not unlike living systems.

You don't think the people at Google could narrow it down a bit and figure out who it is?
...too late, Google will do what Google does: kill it.
Thank you.

Using incorrect and invalid models of real world systems and using them as exemplars of technical concepts, even as a short hand, is a sign of a not well written document.

It gets worse, because the "level up" to distributed transactions builds on the model by trying to show two banks engaged in a distributed transaction using 2PC to handle a funds transfer. This doesn't exist. It's not a thing. It never has been. There's nothing "classical" about this example.

It exists in the same canon as "a manager is a person. an employee is a person..." examples to explain data modeling.

Using these "examples" leads readers (learners) to walk away with incorrect understanding that they will likely spend a ton of time having to unlearn and overcome.

I read this book years ago. One part that I still think about from time to time is how the author was approached for a job that entailed maintaining an ancient mainframe. Despite the pay being so high, the mainframe and its model were dying. Both her and the employer knew this. The author turned the job down just because it seemed like it would have been an unfulfilling and depressing endeavor, despite the high pay. It reminds me that sometimes, a line must be drawn between pay and self-fulfillment
There exist at least some examples as part of the go docs, e.g. here https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/IBM/fp-go/either#pkg-examples or https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/IBM/fp-go@v1.0.19/array#pkg-ex... but there certainly could be more.

Are there any examples you'd be interested in in particular?
I have zero expectations from an intern. The scope of the programs vary wildly, but I have seen platforms that are as little as two months. It takes a month just to get someone a new laptop, access to systems, any kind of onboarding to processes, etc. Then you can give them a project, but unless they are exceptionally gifted, the mentor is going to have to spoon feed the requests. My experience dealing with people fresh out of school is that they need discrete assignments, there is less ownership and global thinking. The scope of the work has to be so limited that it requires minimal expertise.

Which is to say nothing of the value proposition of having experienced person taking hours out of their day to mentor someone with a limited shelf-life.
This looks great, does recognition use the GPU? What's the speed you get on it?
Protecting the identify of this specific individual is irrelevant really.

I think I mostly just disagree, here. I want a graphical representation to be more impactful. But typically any system that scales such that a short list can't explain entry points and dependencies has scaled beyond what graphical tools can do, as well.

Now, story boarding a communication sequence between systems can make great use of layout. So, I definitely see potential.
