The green-wireframe thing which this site somewhat misleadingly calls "Laser Grid" https://cari.institute/aesthetics/laser-grid (the main influence is of course CRT vector graphics, with technical drawing and art inspired by it probably coming second and lasers well behind) played a much more central role in 1980s SFish commercial art's image of the future than you'd realise now. (You'd naturally see a lot of it on places like pulpy SF juvenile novels, not a source that's very well-represented on CARI.) Note that usually (though not always) the phosphor lines are quite crisp while the space between them remains uniformly dark, a respectable approximation to actual CRT vector images. Blown-out lines glowing like neon tubes, and mesh polygons which look like normal, lightable surfaces thanks to a glow or to light reflections, have more to do with synthwave https://cari.institute/aesthetics/synthwave and other recent pastiches than the real thing.

MICR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_ink_character_recogni... or MICR-inspired fonts as a totem of a Space Agey future is another part of the '80s visual language which hasn't made it into the nostalgia image of the '80s. But unlike the wireframe it definitely felt like an older ('60s-'70s) thing which was on its way out even then.

> Tesla is already selling cars at the avg sales price of new cars

without an EV credit, tesla is NOT selling anywhere near the avg price of new cars. I just checked in Canada a base model 3 is 55k before tax. Avg new car cost is 35k before tax, thats a massive difference.
Unless the money is in to your hands or in your account, it’s not yours.
In fact, every day in between the day you worked and the day you were paid could be considered theft - as the value of your cash has gone down slightly in that period due to official government policies to devalue cash at a certain percentage every year, and the company is earning interest (or investment) until it’s in your account.

I'm very passionate about food waste, and I agree with your assessment. But "educating people at scale" is not a problem that humanity has solved yet.
> Sure, I could do this myself, but sometimes you just want to get a website online and have someone else worry about hosting it.

Exactly, I run numerous systems at the VPS level, the OS, the libraries, the databases, the applications, the replication, the automation of all that, as part of my day job... but that's big production stuff with big production requirements. If I want to throw up a small static site (or even simple non static site), and forget about it, NFS is the place to go.

That the UI is exactly the same each time I login, even with years in between, is a huge feature, especially in the mess of UI/UX churn madness that is the rest of the web. NFS is the only shared host that is fair and trustworthy, and that is part aligned incentives, part being run by awesome human beings.
I agree that a more visual explanation is better in general.

> surprisingly, might even be better than probiotics.

That's not so surprising, since probiotics are necessarily just the rare few bacteria we can grow on demand and fit into a pill. Doesn't mean alcohol is good for your microbiome.

Prebiotics and fiber are probably more effective kinds of supplements. But they'll give you gas so might make you unpopular.
Unfortunately, "figure out how to get rid of food waste" does not mean point out solutions, it means figure out how to implement them.
In case there's anyone skimming the comments and thinking that it seems everyone else is doing all sorts of drugs... you'd be getting a skewed perception.

There are plenty of other people who are averse to drugs, so are less likely to be commenting on a post that appeals to enthusiasts.

Personally, if anyone I work with is doing drugs, I hope they'll be OK, and that it won't make them ill, stupid, or flaky.

BTW, if someone decides they have a problem with drugs, and needs help from their employer to get better, they can see which HR/labor programs apply (and how much they have to say), and whether there's a trusted manager who will help support. Like in other facets of work, I'd much rather someone said they needed help with something early, rather than the problem becoming apparent later.

Be well.
Cash can be appropriate too. Safety has a value.

In a scenario where liquidity is an issue, you may pay way more than inflation to close a position, even in a bond. During the 08 crash, my dad bought some quality US State GO bonds at a significant discount, for example.

Thinking about a permanent portfolio means you need to think about events that seem unlikely today. What happens if the US loses a major conflict… aircraft carrier gets sunk, etc. that’s gonna affect treasury debt.

I think it's actually what happens with biological weapons. It's not actually ethics that blocks it but rather its uncontrollability to be used effectively as a weapon (and not hit your side as well).
I think I'd rather put archived posts somewhere more permanent than whatever Mastodon server I picked. The new server might not be better than the old one, so then I'd need to move the archived posts again.

> As previously mentioned, beyond cranial morphology, another unique characteristic of the Hirota people is that they had extraordinary accessories made of shells. As these shells could not be collected from their region of residence, the Hirota people must have traded shell accessories and products from the south of Tanegashima Island toward the Ryukyu Islands (Kinoshita, 1996). It is possible that cranial deformations were performed to create a group identity and facilitate trade of these shell goods. Such results would not be uncommon among prehistoric cultures that practiced ICM, and due to the absence of other possible reasons for ICM practices, we hypothesize that the Hirota people did so for this purpose; however, this could change if future excavations of the region were to provide evidence of either a rice cultivation or stratified society.

... OK? I still have a really hard time pinning down a causal link between shellfish trade getting a boost and head flattening. Feels like the authors latching on to one notable fact about this group (they traded shellfish) and using it to whip up a motive for head flattening, because they had nothing else.
Something as critical as payroll needs to be reviewed by a person before payout. Doing it daily would be insane.

Ideas and trends move much slower, than we think, especially outside of silicon valley, or the current bubbles we as individual are in.

We as humans have a tendency of not wanting things to change, nor accept new ideas that challenge our existing ideas. And shape our memories accordingly.

Transformer example: The world didn't switch over immediately to transformer's in 2017, in fact the original model had issues converging past a 100M params that needed to be sorted out. And arguably picked up steam mostly after BERT a year later.

Day-to-day example: The average day to day person, outside the tech bubble, still have not tried ChatGPT - and unfortunately it has not taken the world by storm yet.

So while it is true that traditional RNNs with LSTM do not converge as well. The changes presented here are substantial (we removed LSTM for example)

And it's not a question of belief, RWKV code is fully opensource, in public and available. All claims can be tested. With results that can be replicated. By anyone who is willing to put in the time to do so.

Every 3 years when I need to justify my right to live here. For the freelance visa this means a lot of preparation, and a fight for nonexistent appointments so that I can fire my documents into the void.

I earn a living from documenting German bureaucracy and helping immigrants to settle here, so I have a right to be sour.

It's a lot worse for employees because switching jobs involves a 3-5 month bureaucratic lag during which they don't know what will happen to their family. You might be dealing with a much faster immigration office.
Germany is a good country to live in, but it's hard to highlight anything as a reason to choose it. It's just average at a lot of things.

“For over two decades, we have observed that unmet consumer demand is a key driver of piracy. If demand is unmet by legitimate supply, users will seek pirated content. That is why one of the best ways to combat piracy is to provide better, more convenient, and legitimate alternatives,” Google writes.

Children will be childed by Google. Define: "piracy". Now, who should enforce ... piracy.

Google is a search engine and some other stuff - they should never, ever be involved in enforcement, let alone unilaterally involved in it and allowed to trumpet the same.

Law enforcement does law enforcement and not Google. If I was a policeman I would be absolutely incensed at this overreach into my domain.
Yeah that’s a gigantic stretch.
The abstract says “the Hirota people may have deformed their crania to… possibly aid in the long-distance trade of shellfish”.

A future equivalent could be deforming our crania in the form of invasive BCI to aid in different things.

The abstract also says “the Hirota people may have deformed their crania to preserve group identity”.

It’s also possible in the future that those who install invasive BCI could form a group identity.

You've described a valid use case for cryptocurrency, but you haven't described a valid reason people should invest in it.

Useful currencies are inflationary and good investments are deflationary.

Shorts is solely from promoting products rather than AdSense.
So you don't have to worry about the revenue.
It’s definitely localized. most societies don’t look favorable on drug use including most of east Asia, south and south east Asia, Middle East, and more.
You can't have fun without racism and sexism? Really?
In fact, UUUM, the largest YouTuber firm in Japan, reported that its AdSense earnings deteriorated as the number of views on Shorts increased while the number of views on regular videos decreased.
If I can compare le Carre with Cormac McCarthy I would say The Spy Who Came in From the Cold is his “The Road”. Its the novel people always recommend and put on “best books” lists because its short, punchy and therefore seems like a good introduction. But both authors have a substantial body of work that much better represents them as authors since it explores the themes that really are uniquely interesting about their work. For le Carre I think the Smiley novels and a Perfect Spy and for McCarthy the plains trilogy and Blood Meridian are much more rewarding if you are willing to put in the time.
Keita Takahashi famously never even wanted to make another Katamari game after the first ones. Namco had so little faith in the project they dumped it out as a budget release at the time, thinking it would get swept up in the PS2's shovelware oceans

I cannot imagine how crushing that must've been as a creator, though thankfully his game did achieve quite the cult following (and even an eventual Unity re-release on Steam and other platforms)

Namco at the time was so surprised by the success of it they immediately requested more Katamari to which he largely declined. Though the later games are still pretty enjoyable

You should write a paper: "all you need considered harmful"

I don't think referencing well known papers has ever (well maybe not, ever) implied that the authors feel their work is on par with original. It's a pretty common practice in some academic circles when there is an impactful paper with a catchy name and you simply want to pay a bit homage and have a less boring title than you might have otherwise.
Of course it matters.

In the podcast as well, I was being very transparent that I am happily using transformers (Salesforce codegen) in production for my primary work use cases, and I am still happily doing so.

My work into RWKV is to support a new usecase which transformer could not support even today. And in no means should it threaten your happiness factor in using existing AI models.

I suspect in the long run, AI architecture wars may slowly mirror that of the database wars, in software development (SQL vs NoSQL vs ??)

Each of them will have substantial benefits in one use case over another. And may have many overlaps, with lots of happy users for all of them =)
Those are good points, but the simple argument to the contrary is a matter of cost. It costs a whole lot less to build a foot bridge over a road than to build a road bridge over a foot path.
In the US some organizations pay weekly, some bi-weekly (26 times a year), some semi-monthly (24 times a year) and some even monthly. If any one of those is your organization's standard, your payroll's systems are set up that way and the "overhead" is built into your standard procedures.

The article emphasizes "this week" not because the USPS pays weekly, but because Friday of this past week was the standard bi-weekly payday.
I think of the how the people behind the Fate franchise on the other hand held on to all the rights as they bootstrapped, first starting with an almost no budget visual novel that was a smash hit, then into games of increasing complexity and then a mobile game which makes obscene amounts of money. In their case there was always the suggestion that it all came from a world bigger than what they could show you in the game and it was also settings-and-character driven, the gameplay was almost besides the point.

DML link in the article is broken - Might I instead point you to a relevant ATS-lang (successor2 of DML) documentation about `Dependent Types in ATS2` https://ats-lang.sourceforge.net/DOCUMENT/INTPROGINATS/HTML/...

This link discusses, along with other usefulness, the use of dependent types for the likes of array bounds checking, creating "sorts" of numbers satisfying various predicates, and more interestingly the utility of combining Dependent Types with PURE Linear Types (as opposed to Affine Types a la Rust lol) ...

AFAIK, DML was originally intended as a gateway to constructing typed assembly (DARPA)

Having been a researcher in this field for, this quote from the original paper on 'Liquid Types' originally seemed suspect....
"a system that combines Hindley-Milner type inference with Predicate Abstraction to automatically infer dependent types precise enough to prove a variety of safety properties" .... type inference with dependent types is undecidable!? Then again, this is one of the primary focuses of ATS3, I digress...

This area of research is rich in pipe-dreams and cerebral investigation. From my biased opinion, ATS3 (the current version of the successor3 of DML, being actively devloped by the PI Professor Hongwei Xi, is the only language in this space to be aimed at practical programming in industry... of course there is always haskell....)

What I mean is that, TEMPLATES++ Linear Types + Dependent Types + Hindley Milner Type inference ....

Games aren’t fun when I’m getting called slurs. It’s just sad.

I play a lot of rocket league. I always have a rainbow flag on my car.
Every year during pride month I always play several games where I get lots of homophobic comments from my opponents. People using slurs, ranting about how “people like me” are ruining the game. I mute and block, and report these people, but it makes me sad anyway. Why do people go into the game with the intent to ruin it for others? I only ever get those comments during pride month. There’s a reason I play with voice chat disabled if I’m playing with randos, even if it would legitimately help to communicate with teammates.

And I wouldn’t even say rocket league is particularly toxic? I encounter teammates that throw games, and smurf accounts, way more than players that say toxic things in chat. I don’t play FPS games but from what I’ve seen they seem way worse, as voice chat is crucial.

I feel only slightly better the next day, when I get a notification about how my report got a player banned for toxicity.
To maximize the value of public transit, you need a strongly integrated economy.

It would help if local leadership could say "You're building a business that has high flexibility in where you site it, so you should place it near a transport hub, rather than off in a suburb that causes a longer average commute for everyone."

Yes, you can't do this for every business-- some have natural dependencies on specific site characteristics, but those seem likely to shape the rest of the city's transport decisions (how many cities have major thoroughfares that parallel existing heavy rail, for example)
