Yes the basic problem here is that people for some reason think that a time zone is a property of a time when in fact a time zone is a property of a place. It’s actually a mutable property of a place, to make things more complex.

Usenet was sorted by topic. Same people stick to the required topic in different forums.In the fediverse, you follow people, and therefore can't control very well what people post about. I follow some people because I am interested in technical topics, but I end muting some of those because some are very political, and I am not interested in some of these topics.

I don't think the Usenet model can be replicated on top of Fediverse. Not everyone sees instances as a topic thing (I host my own instance).

These turbines are meant to be used in a fleet, along a river. They take about 16 feet across per pair, so call it 20 across the normal flow of the river. They also do not block the flow, so more can be installed a little downstream, depending on the pitch of the riverbed. Assuming 5 groups per mile, 10 miles of flow of the Klamath River will give you the capacity to install 1000 of these, for a total capacity of 10 MW to 40 MW.

Saying that these are too small is like saying that solar panels are too small. The module size has nothing to do with the total generation - they're built to be manufactured and placed in bulk.

I understand exactly what it is - I was simply trying to show that NASA has no game plan for this. Their plan is basically to have everything beam back to earth across these dishes (I know, I'm probably simplifying too much here).

If there were a long term plan (which I simplistically termed "space internet"), then there would be a way to address this. Instead, it appears as if they are trying to keep old equipment going rather than investing in a new, upgraded communication system that could be leveraged not only by future missions, but also added to by private companies in the future.

Congress would much prefer that NASA ask for money to fund a new system that creates new technologies than just fund old dilapidated tech. That's the issue, and NASA doesn't seem to get it.
Is it dumb? Sure. But that's politics, and as a government entity (my personal favorite, in fact) they just aren't doing a good job here.

One last thought...I envision 100 years into the future that there are communication nodes all over the place, such as a big transmit/receive array physically on the moon, at various lagrange points across the solar system, all based on lasers, quantum tech, or whatever the futuristic long-term thing needs to be. Frankly, my concern is that we'll still be doing the same old thing 100 years from now. And while you may scoff at that (and I hope you're right!), remember that NASA does not currently have the technology to do something we last did 50 years ago (put a man on the moon). So I think those fears of a stale and stagnant NASA not knowing how to move forward are at least somewhat valid (even if I can't express it as well as I'd like).
Okay, if we worked with each other in real life, I would accept that and I guess never speak to you that way.

Since this is a discussion of communication theory, I have to say, it’s crazy to me that you read it as passive aggressive.

Like when I say bad things about you, you can just accept those things in a straightforward fashion. However when I say good things about you, that cannot be accept in just as straightforward a way, and instead it is viewed as passive aggressive.

You don’t see the asymmetry there?

It depends on exactly what you mean with those terms.

When you say "you can keep consistency or completeness but not both" you are essentially stating Godel's first.

Morally speaking, Godel's first is "no system is complete", but there are two exceptions: if the system isn't powerful enough to formulate the Godel sentence then the proof doesn't work, and any inconsistent system is trivially complete because ex falso quodlibet sequitur, i.e. any wff is true.

The part about a system not being able to prove its own consistency is Godel's second theorem.

But the theorem only does what it says on the tin: the system not being able to prove its own consistency doesn't mean that it being inconsistent! [1]
This is the case for ZFC, for example. We can't prove ZFC's consistency within ZFC: that would violate Godel's second, and we know that either ZFC is inconsistent (that is, you can derive an absurd from the axioms) or ZFC is incomplete (that is, there exists a well-formed formula of ZFC that cannot be proved or disproved within ZFC).

We don't know which one it is.

[1] This implication and similar ones are often made in pop-culture presentations of the foundation problem. I generally vigorously object to them because they're not only imprecise -- that's understandable -- but they leave a layman with a completely wrong impression.
> if this theoretical person were willing to work for $7.25 per hour, then they would not be offered to be paid a $55k salary anyway.

If you work 100 hours a week for a $55k salary, you are averaging ~$10.50/hour, which is ~$8.10/hour base pay when 60/100 of the hours are overtime, and so more than federal minimum wage. If you uniformly work for that number of hours and then make that amount of money, neither the employer nor the employee really cares if you call it $55k salary or $8.10/hour with overtime.

Except that if you call it the latter, the employer may try to limit your hours, or you may need to work less once in a while for personal reasons which the employer may be tolerant of from time to time but once the law forces hourly accounting it means that comes out of your pay.

It also means you may get less of any other benefits that are paid based on your hourly wage instead of your salary once one is defined and turns out to be lower than the equivalent salary would normally imply.

Laws like this are really weird when all they do is force the same transaction to be written in different terms, which is nothing but a new opportunity for the employer to write the contract in a way that benefits them and the employee may not understand or notice until after the consequences manifest.
So clever to turn it back on me like that!

Yeah, but don't forget we use computers for things that don't involve today only.

> The history of Easter Island is debateable

That doesn't really change that there used to be a lot of forest and larger animals that could have supported a more fulfilling diet that were extinct by the time the Europeans arrived. If society as we know it collapses due to climate change, the people who do survive would also "practice resiliency, cooperation, and perhaps even a degree of environmental stewardship."

> But an authoritarian state is not at all related to a collective of people managing resources

Mao didn't exactly have the resources to enforce a 1984 style or even North Korean style authoritarianism. The authoritarianism was very much enforced by a collective of people. People genuinely wanted to support Mao, which is why they hid how terrible his policies were from him and continued their support for him afterwards.

> What's your vision of a better society?

I think overly reductionist ideas like "capitalism bad" and "Mao authoritarian" end up causing problems like the Great Leap Forward did. Any solution to any societal problem requires a deep understanding across multiple domains, which to be fair is what Ostrom suggests. To be clear, I don't think that it's really anyone's fault, but rather most people don't actually care about the issues to put the work into studying or taking action to them in any meaningful capacity.

As zwieback said, a lot of the dams just aren't that useful, for a bunch of reasons but biggest is that they're just too small. On top of that, at least for the Washington dams I'm more familiar with, the power generation doesn't match up with need. Most of the river flow is over the winter and spring (that's when it rains/snows and then more rain and melting snow) and in the late summer when electricity use is highest the dams don't have enough water flow to be really productive. Worse yet, some of the oldest dams are even more limited because there's too much mud in their reservoirs.

Nothing insurmountable (dredge the silt, build them bigger so the reservoir lasts until the fall, etc), but it just means the most cost effective way to help the salmon is tear down a lot of these dams.
Wait, you can use Java, Python, and Go in browser and the edge ?
Amen. I did great in school, except I hated homework from a very early age onwards. Tedious crap I already understood.

The occasional take-home project is probably fine, but otherwise let school be school, and leave it at that.
I've gone so far as to only go to YT with a browser that clears everything on close. I don't log in to YT, all I do is keep a local file that I use as my home page where I keep the link to the video tab of content creators I enjoy.

When you go in "fresh", the world is your oyster for approximately three videos, maybe four, then the algorithm has completely made it useless. So, I either go through a link to a creator and see what they've been up to lately or I go to a fresh YT homepage and search for what I'm looking for. The first search is probably still heavily curated, but it seems to give me more interesting options. When I find a video I like, I go to the creators page and add the link to my home page.

I don't log in mainly for privacy reasons, but it also causes me to only be able to search my particular bubble, pretty much. Going in from the outside gives me much better results, at least before I've watched too many videos in a chain. I'm a patron on patreon for a few my favorite creators, which I generally swap around every now and then for those who have Patreon accounts. I don't think I've ever bought anything from a creator's sponsor. It weirds me out that randos on the internet are now expected to be commercial shills and personal brand curators as well as video creators.
Anyone else getting the captcha loop
I seem to remember having a good time with it on a 386SX 20mhz. If I am remembering correctly (I have about 75% confidence in these memories) I just dialed down the view area by a notch or two which worked well for most of the game until I got to an area with a looot of monsters.

It was pretty tolerable since quicksave and quickloads were so fast. If you stumbled into an area where you took a bunch of damage because your frame rate dropped to 5fps you could just quickload, downsize the viewport, and try again.

Even the public personas are having a rough time. Twitter is falling apart and then there is Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and just generally a very fractured yet crowded space where you're up against dirty tactics of your peer influencers.

I don't feel sorry at all for commercial grifters, but there's also genuine publishers. Institutes that just want to share a message and get it out to the public, as a service. That model is now quite broken.

Right, to pick an actual time stamp for a particular local time in a particular location, you need to first choose at what time stamp to resolve the time offset for the location. Then in that time offset you can unambiguously map the localtime to a unique time stamp.

It wasn't clear to me what evaluation method was being used, the chart in the blog says Execution Accuracy, but the numbers that seem to be used appear to correlate with "Exact Set Match" (comparing on SQL) instead of the "Execution With Values" (comparing on result set values). For example, DIN-SQL + GPT-4 achieves an 85.3% "Execution With Values" score. Is that what is being used here?

I'd probably take the more charitable view that usage of the phrase in the negative is a willingness to embrace the spirit of the saying rather than attribute it to a misunderstanding.

If it is a misunderstanding, that is. While all sources I've seen sdo agree the phrase is of military origin, the Ngram shows usage as early as 1908 [1], with usage between 1930 and 1955 in English fiction [2]. Maybe the origin of the phrase predates the pointless numbered hills of the Vietnam War, and perhaps those hills had value and were worth dying on.

Not that this is a hill I'm willing to die on, though. All I wanted to point out is that the opposite phrase is used often per past experience, and Google Trends [3]. I can't actually find any trend data for the "original," but it is
used.

By not asking a question. “I think this won’t work because {reasoning}”. I’m fine being told that. If you’re working with level headed people, that starts a two way respectful conversation.

Honestly that’s just my mileage I guess. Maybe it depends on everyone’s own personal attachment to their ideas, but if someone thinks I’m about to pull the footgun trigger, I want them to tell me that.

If they’re right, they saved my foot.

If they’re wrong, I show them that the safety is on, and we go on.

Getting all “well what is it you expect to accomplish with that? Is this aligned with the incentives of the team? If there was a safety would it be on, hypothetically?” just serves to muddy the message and come off “smarter than thou”. I’d call it manager speak.
> The other common thread is it’s all the same grifters.

Yes, the same grifters are migrating to AI. But there's a real industry in AI, unlike blockchain, where it was almost all grifters.

It's not hypocrisy. But what it is is an expression of "got mine, screw you". This person isn't offering to use the sale of their $36 million home to build an indoor court that would solve the noise problem they care about while ensuring the public keeps access to public courts. Instead, their solution is purely destructive: take things away from other people so long as it gets them what they want. And their arguments for wildlife ring hollow, because the energy and materials consumed by 11,000 square foot homes are emphatically not eco-friendly.

In the end, this is another example of rich people's disconnection from the rest of society. It doesn't matter to them what other people can't obtain, whether it's luxury or necessity, because they know they'll still be able to get whatever they want or need. Which might not be so bad, but when it's rich people who also choose all the policies that affect other people's lives, then resentment is going to continue to grow.
Agree that it’s not representative of real world queries, but I think it’s more of a “measure progress against a simple but consistent baseline” and SOTA is still struggling so it’s clearly not ready for real queries. Most of the papers on this topic mention a lack of large volumes of high quality training data… Spider is probably the best public one right now.

Curious to learn more about your use case. If fine-tuning is only ineffective for your most complex queries (and presumably those are less frequent as well, since you mentioned you have few examples), then couldn't you use fine-tuning to handle the simpler queries (presumably the lion's share) and thus free up excess man hours to focus on the more complex queries? Is there any benefit to AI being able to answer 90% of queries vs 0%?
Arm Neoverse CSS Makes Neoverse N2 Cores Drop-In at Hot Chips 2023
We communicate with words, and people as a whole are used to being lied to and gaslit regularly especially by those in power. It's true that mathematics and the hard sciences have mechanisms for understanding that are on a different scale than, say, ethics and morality. However, it takes time for people -- especially those currently engaged in questioning the nature of their reality[1] -- to accept that in this specific instance lying and gaslighting are a lot harder[2].

The people who eventually accept and internalize the distinction around things that can be objectively shown to be true are those who by in the large have done some of the work to understand these things themselves. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is beautiful but it takes work to understand and if it didn't, it wouldn't be much of a meaningful breakthrough. Nobody is proving that 3+5=8 and then 4+5=9.

So what the average person sees is a high level language they can't speak with people being absolutely positive that this thing is special and true and incontrovertible. That raises red flags when you're dealing with folks talking about normal everyday stuff, doesn't it? It's a lot harder to say "but I don't understand" and a lot easier to say "but what if you're wrong" socially.

[1] As all college first years do, right?
[2] Let's face it, lying to people is never impossible, it's just harder to be successful when you can be fact checked.
