In Canada, it absolutely is.

Compared to Canada's relatively small population, a huge number of foreigners are bring brought in each year, and this has been going on for a long time now.

Keep in mind that it goes well beyond just economic migrants. It also involves foreign "students" and so-called "refugees" and "asylum seekers", among others.

This unnatural influx has introduced some significant economic distortions, with the cost of housing being just one of them.

Everyone knows there’s a lot of corruption out there. It’s overwhelmingly tempting to adopt an attitude of cynicism and essentially shut down when we hear about it. This is a dangerous and unproductive response, even though it’s a natural one [1].

Now you might respond that there’s so much corruption in the world and you, as an individual, can’t do much to stop it all. That’s probably true! However, the power and the great benefit of living in a free, democratic society (I’m assuming you live in a western or otherwise free country, otherwise you may have bigger concerns than review payola on Rotten Tomatoes) is that individuals are free to act and to hold people accountable when they abuse their power. Maybe this issue isn’t that important to you and that’s fine, but maybe some other issue actually is really important to you.

What I’m getting at with this long-winded post is simple: try directing your efforts toward one thing you care about and see if you can make a difference, even in one small way. It can go a long way to help you feel more effective and engaged in society!

Hi (co founder of Arduino here) Good old Arduino is still here, we're still releasing a ton of tools for the community, we're still innovating every day. We're using most of the funds to develop our professional offering. I believe this is a natural progression for companies like us. Our investors leave free to work on whatever technology and let us open source anything we feel can contribute to the community. They never interfere.. The R&D on the Professional products eventually benefits everyone. I strongly disagree with your statement

This argument is the same as "this is why we need a fully uncensored/unmoderated forum on the internet", except no one actually wants to be on such a forum. The question isn't whether models shouldn't be censored or not, but who should be the ones doing the censoring. Regardless of whether it is open source or not it is still always in someone's control.

It’s a popular belief in Canada, particularly on the west coast (popular destination for Asian immigrants) where property prices have grown even more than in Toronto.

There’s a particularly pernicious problem with increasing housing prices though which is that it creates a large number of winners as well as losers and somebody could be absolutely ruined if they buy a $1.2M house that they sell later for $400,000 and in turn the banking system would be imperiled so there are strong pressures to not take decisive action to stop property price appreciation or reverse it.

How efficient does the not mining bitcoin have to be?
What I noticed decently often is that the safe decisions you can make are fairly constrained. By safe I mean that even if things don't go well you will not be held too responsible in a material way. This might be communicated directly but usually is just a constant background vibe reinforced by the company/social norms. You can step over that line and make un-safe decisions but then the risk is implicitly more directly on you.
While that would work well in summer, and this current issue, the outlook isn’t so good for Texas winters. I recently spoke with another Texan who has had solar + batteries for a couple years.

Apparently, in our area, winters are so cloudy that their solar panels (which cover 100% of energy usage in summer) don’t cover but 20% of their usage in the winter.

No reasonable amount of batteries can ward off grid concerns with those inefficiencies.

I'd say it's a very easy case to make.

Pensions are much cheaper than individual private plans and place various financial risks on the party that can actually afford to manage it (and spread it across the entire employee base). The pension holds the risk for me that I live longer than I planned, or that the market crashes the month before I turn 65. Being a large professionally managed fund, it's in a great position to do so, and it even spreads the cost around! I don't have to pay some insurance company a huge premium to get an annuity, the pension gives me the annuity at cost and probably with much better terms.

The only argument you give is that the private sector got rid of them. Well, don't ask me to eat shit just cause you're happy to.

Totally makes sense for C++ or Rust based AI models for inference instead of the over-bloated networks run on Python with sub-optimal inference and fine-tuning costs.

Minimal overhead or zero cost abstractions around deep learning libraries implemented in those languages gives some hope that people like ggerganov are not afraid of the 'don't roll your own deep learning library' dogma and now we can see the results as to why DL on the edge and local AI, is the future of efficiency in deep learning.

We'll see, but Python just can't compete on speed at all, henceforth Modular's Mojo compiler is another one that solves the problem properly with the almost 1:1 familiarity of Python.

> In professional environments no one uses the Arduino IDE

I disagree. In companies with an embedded software team, no. But in companies where software isn't a focus of what the company does, there are plenty of bits of arduino code shipped on millions of devices. For example, my Beko branded fridge (they sell 3 million fridges per year). And my unbranded motion-sensitive security light.

Ownership is about mandate and ability to effect change. That doesn’t imply any material benefit other than being paid to do it.

What management roles tend to do is assign ownership without mandate and ability.

And how does the Texas public benefit from this? Is "to soak up excess power" really that valuable?
Only if your threat to turn it on is realistic. That is you have to be willing to buy at market rates metawatts of energy when they don't feel like paying you. If they think you are doing this - that is not producing value with those metawatts you buy when you buy they will call your bluff: not pay you and thus force you to lose $$$ proving you are serious. I think their pockets are bigger than yours and so it won't work out.

That’s not true if you’re a country. They can nationalize privately owned assets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization), default on loans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_default), print money to devalue loans, etc. without repercussions other than loss of trust.

Hi (co founder of Arduino here) We're not doing any of that. Our partnerships based on products and whatever processor is the most useful for what we're trying to build. We're mostly working on robust industrial products that maintain the ease of use of the Arduino framework and we sell those to enterprises. very simple
I am looking for a model similar to this, but for text. I want to group text with different labels that apply to subsets of the text. Think of being able to quickly pull-out related segments from a large body of text.
Let's take, for instance, a sales contract that specifies a discounted price for various goods.
If you select the label "data rows", the system should be able to extract all the text pertaining to the table that specifies which SKUs are being purchased, and at what discounted price.
Moreover, this model should be capable of segmenting the content into semantically relevant chunks. One example: each row in the aforementioned table would be tagged with multiple labels. One would be just that it is a row, the data in the first column should be labeled for what it represents, e.g. "product number". Another example: if there's a section discussing the terms of delivery or warranty conditions, selecting the respective labels would instantly extract that specific information, regardless of where it's located within the document.
Would be great for it to be able to segment into some controllable range of tokens/characters to allow for pulling those chunks into a vector database, along with the relevant tags related to the chunk.
Yes, here's an example of a case where eliminating a branch will save you as a game developer:

while (money > 0) {
if (iOS) {
// ios revenue
money += 5;
// ios costs
money -= 2;
} else if (android) {
// android revenue
money += 1;
// android costs
money -= 5;
}
}

Anyway, to your real question, an entity component system-based middleware, hopefully in a language that isn't C++, forces you to author your code in a way where branches can be "moved" to remove the problematic memory access and execution pattern. So maybe it's not about specific C++ method branches, which may be beneficial to your employer but never beneficial to you or your career, but it's about the architecture of the thing that still has innovation opportunities that could really matter.

You probably aren't interested in the even bigger picture conversation, which is that some games are so ill specified that it is impracticable to use an ECS middleware. Games that are really well specified (i.e. clones & sequels) might thrive on ECS, but the ones we end up playing are authored by companies with real budgets and take years to develop, so the compute platform will get faster than your micro-optimization.
> Pensions are much cheaper than individual private plans and place various financial risks on the party that can actually afford to manage it (and spread it across the entire employee base).

This is obviously false given the underfunded states of pretty much all taxpayer funded pensions in the US.

> Being a large professionally managed fund, it's in a great position to do so, and it even spreads the cost around! I don't have to pay some insurance company a huge premium to get an annuity, the pension gives me the annuity at cost and probably with much better terms.

A pension fund manager is not doing anything more special than a simple target date retirement fund does. The job has been automated away. The only savings comes from shafting future taxpayers, which is why almost no non taxpayer funded entity offers DB pensions anymore.

Also, there exists a defined benefit pension plan for all US residents called Social Security. But the federal government has the power to issue new money, which no one else does.
> the demonization of Putin is a stand-in for foreign policy analysis

We tend to personalize nations, to the extent that we refer to the nation using the name of its leader. So, for example, "Putin invaded Ukraine". In fact the first time Putin even visited Ukraine was more than a year after the invasion.

What we generally mean by "Putin" is what during the Cold War was referred to as "The Kremlin", roughly Soviet/Russian central government. "Kremlinologist" was a term that referred to people whose job was figuring out what was going on in the Kremlin; civilians like me were encouraged to regard Kremlinology as impossible in principle, like Astrology, or reading tea-leaves.

I don't pretend to know what's going on in the Kremlin. But generals get pushed aside, and then re-hired somewhere else; officials get publicly humiliated on TV. I think it's faily clear that Putin is not in any sense an absolute dictator. He's the leader of a very authoritarian, militaristic government, in a country that is traditionally very authoritarian and militaristic.

I mean, I do think Putin's bonkers. But not based on his actions; I suppose his government's actions are the actions of the leadership clique, the "siloviki", i.e. the former KGB/GRU colonel-generals, turned oligarchs and government officials. I don't think Putin could have ordered this invasion without consensus of some kind in his clique. If his power were that concentrated, he would by now have ordered full mobilization, but it isn't, and he can't. [Edit] The reason I think he's bonkers is the things he says, especially in "On the Historic Unity of the Russian and Ukrainian People". But even that wasn't invented by him; those ideas come from "philosophers" like Alexander Dugin.

The handling of the Prigozhin Mutiny is evidence of that (Prigozhin is not siloviki, and was never KGB/GRU). If Putin were an absolute dictator, Prigozhin would have died the day after the mutiny, either shot somewhere very public, or poisoned using chemicals only made by the Russian government.

Honestly I feel like the people who made digital electronics accessible to 2nd graders deserve compensation. I used to organize and teach Arduino robotics classes, and had thousands of students over the years. A handful of those kids even went on to make science fair projects and portfolio projects with Arduino, which set them on a path to a career in engineering.

Even if they completely reverse their open-source approach, I’d still be grateful for the tremendous contribution Arduino has made to education.

By the way, the best way to support Arduino as an individual is to only buy official boards directly from their site.

Possession is control, is it not?

Ownership is responsibility + benefit (or loss) for an outcome IMO, protected by some kind of agreement. Societal or contractual. Title. Employment agreement/laws.

If there is positive benefit received on a good outcome + a responsibility for maintenance and the like, that is a form of ownership IMO. If a negative benefit comes from damage/destruction/bad things happening to that thing, that also tracks.

Anyone who owns real property quickly discovers there isn’t anything like truly unencumbered and unconditional ownership of anything - the first property tax bill will make that clear if nothing else.

That doesn’t mean someone doesn’t take on significant risks and benefits (hopefully) from owning it. It can still be yanked away if they don’t pay certain people or follow certain rules - or via Imminent Domain.

Someone working a job has more constrained ownership, but it still exists. And like buying a property, they need to choose carefully as they’ll still end up with consequences regardless.
If you are the majority owner, or stand to profit vastly more than your team from an endeavor, then you are never a servant.

Using terms like "servant" to appear humble, when the equity split is massively lopsided is patronizing at best, and manipulative at worst.
The US isn't PURE capitalism. no one claims they are - and nothing about capitalism dictates that EVERYTHING has to be "private". But the US is absolutely a capitalist country.

Military? not socialism. Neither are police or fire departments. so "but military" doesn't carry any real point.

And those countries? still aren't socialists countries. The US not having "private military" doesn't change that.

This isn't "black and white". This is "socialism is failure based on 100+ years of historical evidence". This is logic and evidence. As I said, those are capitalist countries with strong welfare policies. This is also basic definition of socialism which isn't "the government does stuff".
