First time seeing Mercury but been watching the business banking space from afar for awhile now (Standard Treasury (acquired by SVB), Azlo (failed), SVB (failed)). I currently run my company on American Express business checking which offers free business checking with a very modest 1.4% yield. However it's FDIC insured not a money market fund like Mercury.
As a 7 year old, I met two of them at IFIP68 in Edinburgh. I don't have much recall of Minsky, but McCarthy was nice. We went out to turnhouse airport and he flew a light plane around. At dinner he commented we did the washing up by hand and when he offered to send us a dishwasher my mother (of course) said "no no John don't be silly" but she said to me in the kitchen later on: "if he ever offers again accept"

We also ate at a chinese restaurant across town and he was surprised when me and my brothers and sisters said birds-nest soup was disgusting.

Susy McCarthy stayed with us for a while. She was a typical Californian teenager, ate her cereal with the wrong hand holding the spoon and her feet up on the chairs and we younger kids were told in no uncertain terms not to emulate her. She refused to go to school and there were exasperating phone calls about what to do. In the end she went somewhere else. Johns wife died climbing Mt Everest. it was really sad. I think it was the first all-women's climbing team to try the route (or even Everest's pinnacle)

Minsky and McCarthy were quite happy to respond to emails in the 80s and 90s. I asked Minsky about writing with Harry Harrison and he said he was frustrated at the ending of the book they did ("the Turing Option") and McCarthy talked about his ideas of long term information ontologies in a notation or language he called "Elephant"

McCarthy was a notable USENET curmudgeon and would be oppositional to any anti-nuclear, anti-oil, anti-plastic agenda he saw. He also said he cried when he learned the bombs had been dropped, and that the invasion of Japan was off, because he knew he wouldn't die on a beach in an opposed landing. (It is possible I have this mixed up with memories of what Paul Fussel wrote, but I am pretty sure John said this)

John played "Alice's Restaurant" with a guitar, he had a very nasally whiny voice.
Budibase looks really impressive, basically a GUI frontend builder for postgres and its open source. Haven't actually deployed it, but played with the GUI builder and its nice.

There's a few other similar ones out there too like Baserow [2], Appsmith [3] and nocodb [4].

Finally, if you wanted a step up, then I guess supabase [5] would be the next one up but its more like "I just want to write front end and have auth, database, API and storage taken care of for me"

But none of these really give you that all-in-one database and front-end via files like Access did and its a damn shame. Yeah I know Access lead to some god-awful applications, but honestly the people complaining about shadow IT don't realize that its inevitable if IT isn't fixing people's problems. You just need to be clear that if the business unit goes down that path, they're on their own. So if the guy who built your crazy Excel VBA app is gone, don't expect that to be picked up by others just because its super important. But, if it is in fact that important, then its probably a prime candidate for actual development work, so the duct-taped together things do end up being sort of testbeds for whats actually important.

The whole lowcode-nocode shtick is a bit oversold, but one good aspect of it is that if you allow for an easy onboarding sandbox for the type of person who would otherwise make an Excel VBA app, at least some of these platforms have sandboxes with guardrails and other compliance stuff you can apply.

Unfortunately no mention of V86 even in the intro/history section, which could be considered the origins of x86 virtualisation technology, and achieved widespread use starting with Windows/386 and all the way through the Win9x lineage. If you've ever used those versions of Windows, you've used a hypervisor.

I feel like you had to shoot the arrow straight up or off screen and it would glitch out and appear on the target.
I tried it for science:

import logging
import timeit

LOG = logging.getLogger()

ip = "1.2.3.4"
request = "/index.html"
duration = 1.5

print(timeit.timeit("LOG.info('%s: %s (%s)', ip, request, duration)", globals=globals()))

print(timeit.timeit("LOG.info(f'{ip}: {request} ({duration})')", globals=globals()))

1,000,000 iterations of the flake8-happy logging took 0.090s. The f-string version took 0.264.

On one hand, the flake8 version is significantly faster if the log messages aren't emitted. On the other, the "slow" f-string version ran 4 million times a second while inside a timing harness. That's likely to be a trivial percent of any interesting program's CPU time unless it's inside a timing-critical inner loop, in which case don't do that.

For an extra data point, I bumped that up to `LOG.warning()` and re-ran the tests. A million flake8 runs took 4.617. A million f-string runs took 4.553s. If you're actually emitting the debugging record, f-strings are slightly faster. Huh, interesting. Today I learned!

I'll continue to use f-string logging in common cases. When it's slower, it's so very slightly slower that I don't care. But as others have mentioned, the `extra` argument when using flake8-style logging is brilliant for emitting structured data that's easier to parse later.
You are saying this as if Apple could not add AV1 hardware decoding to their chips.

Intel, AMD and NVIDIA have figured it out 3 years ago, so can Apple.
I have no doubt this will be an insanely profitable investment for them. Retro games are much cheaper to make them AAA, and amenable to auteur indie gamemakers who can bring unique products to market that wouldn’t be possible with big studios.

I’m not sure about the need for hardware in any of this though.
Some school schedules are done so classes meet every-other-day. There are A days and B days, which is specified because certain holidays or exam periods might necessitate a break in the sequence.

Schools are often cute with it; they theme the days with their school colors instead of A/B.

Definitely. One of the time-consuming parts of rendering is sorting the gaussians by distance to the camera, which for two nearby cameras could be optimized. This also goes for adjacent frames - assuming smooth motion im pretty sure there is some speedup to be had by assuming the previous sort will be close to correct rather than starting from scratch each frame.
I'm using Chase, which has been kind of a pain to adapt to our needs, but it's JP Morgan and won't be going anywhere.
Again, you don't need gifted people to run along your entire army. You do need gifted people to lead it in the war room. And you cannot sustain it by having those gifted people leading poor IQ people - they need to be people able to follow commands while also being able to take initiative at the lack of command. For that, you need folks with an average level of intelligence.
>The mental gymnastics are beautiful and entertaining.

Sure

>But again, as the other commenter points out, this is abductive reasoning.

Deduction is divining the effect from rule and cause. The rule is the definition of the podition, the cause is that a computer is small enough to fit a podium and the effect is that a computer is a podition.

>Google image "podium". Google image "computer". The vast majority of computers shown can be placed on the vast majority of podiums shown.

Deduction does not deal with probable statements. The rule and cause must both be true. My cause is not always true.

Like i said, i genuinely do think it's funny that you read all that and decided it was absence of reasoning. Just kind of shows the state of things.
I’m more inclined to go with the fact that medical school is extremely expensive and the process is long, laborious, and difficult but sure, ok.
This is indeed a big paradox in organized religions.

When I was young my parents wanted me to learn about religions so I could make my own choice about which to follow. But I was constantly like "wtf how does this make sense???". And disruptive in class :) They had to take me out of Sunday school.

Another thing I never understood is predestination in calvinist religions, which are big in Holland. They believe it's already decided whether you go to heaven or hell, regardless of your actions during your life.

So how would you live your life? Personally I'd go for maximum enjoyment because whatever happens is already decided. But no, they're very strict and regimental in general. Never understood why. But of course I did only have Sunday school for a short while :)
Government backed money market funds are safer if you have over $250k (well, were before SVB, now the limit is up to who you've influenced)
Agree. Hence the qualification that there is no technical reason why the information can't be extracted. Any barriers are non-technical.

The problem is that this information is inherent to a communications system. It can't be separated. Communications is pervasive, so channel information is pervasive. How does one control something that is pervasive?

It's a Catch-22: Do we implement a surveillance apparatus to prevent people from accessing the channel information that can be used to build a surveillance apparatus?

Ha, I read Ayn Rand 20 years ago, before the last stages of anarcho-capitalism revealed how vapid and destructive that non-philosophy to be.

I don't feel entitled to anything, but I do think you get what you pay for. And America has been paying for a shitty government and has a shitty government with no serious hope of fighting off the endlessly metastasizing corporate ticks that are constantly rent-seeking, penning us in to less and less choice, and then gaslighting the most gullible into thinking that it's the "free market" or whatever.

But yeah, keep thinking about people who want a functioning society as "looters" or whatever. We just want people to pay their taxes, especially rich people who can frickin afford it.
240 tokens for 70b requires 16.8 * (bytes per parameter) TB memory bandwidth. So unless it's like 4 bit quantized, it doesn't sound plausible?

And Haskell. The only 2 languages I know that got this right.
Thank you.

I would use fitbits with daily step count, sleep duration and heart rate variability and breaths per minute and resting heartrate and body temperature to monitor patient progress.

I can ask the questions that would partition the useful dopplegangers. If you ask great questions you get the great answers. Then you just need to group the data intelligently.

What I can’t do is be a machine learning expert and database/sys admin and front end developer and negotiator with a public health system.

I’d let the patients vote on their next steps initially. I’d also have psych questionaires to measure their personalities. That would form part of the sympton /genetics doppleganger groupings. As would genetic profiles.

For CFS there aren’t that many logical next best steps. Most things have been tried, there is a sensible order to try things.

This is the case with most chronic illnesses.

However subsets within cfs are better off trying certain treatments before others.

The better a subset responds to a next treatment then the tighter the coupling of their doppleganger to that treatment. Then when any new people match that doppleganger you can reccomend they try that treatment. You’d shift there next best treatment orders around.

As you get more and more data the treatment recommendations get more and more granular and effective.

I could hire a naturopathic md to assign the treatment steps initially.

If anyone wants to do a start up - reach out, I can find funding. Just need a team. I’m going to do it.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. But I think you’re assessment of the situation is wrong. I think the general consensus is wrong and I have enough energy now to fafo. Given what I feel I know it feels immoral not to.

3D hype is going to come back soon, and it will stick - but instead of being in TVs, it'll be in VR headsets.

It'll stick because 3D is inherently available in VR headsets, so there's no need to have a "3D VR version" and a "normal VR version"; if you're targeting VR at all, you might as well use its 3D.

I think VR will (given time) succeed, because VR has a couple of benefits aside from 3D - first up, you get infinite screen-size.

Second, it's more portable than basically anything else can be; even laptops are limited by their screen-size whereas future VR goggles could potentially fit in your pocket.

Third, it integrates "companion apps" much better than a smartphone can, due to AR capability - you don't need to keep glancing between your <smart toaster> and your phone, you can just open up the toaster-VR app and look directly at the toaster.

To be fair though, VR might skip a decade before it truly breaches mainstream (e.g. it might be simply too expensive with current tech, when a smartphone can be bought for <$100), although I doubt it. I think VR will become mainstream by 2030.
Important to point out that my comment wasn't about which device was most popularly sold, but it was around those that needed support. Which wasn't just after sale service but any customer of the telco who needed help.

You make a valid point regarding the validity of both of our experiences, but it's just that, one person's experience and shouldn't be taken as gospel. I think most people understand that.

Just like author simplifies HTTP communication, you can simplify:

<-- {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 19, "id": 1}

...example to:

subtract(42, 23) -> 19

I’m sorry you’re right, I dashed off a quick reply and wrote the wrong word as I was distracted.

However I still stand by the statement that their inductive and deductive reasoning is weaker than abductive. This is why they so easily hallucinate - that the very nature of choosing the semantically likely next token is at its root abductive.

GPT is remarkable, but it’s not reasoning in any meaningful sense. It’s not structuring logical constructs and drawing conclusions. I’d hold by my assertion that they are abductively simulating inductive and deductive reasoning.

I think the key thing for me is - Java has been an open platform for decades and has huge amounts of library support. I don't think even python can actually match Java for just the sheer pervasiveness of libraries, and many of them are pure java too, whereas many python libraries are C modules.

C# still lives under the specter of Microsoft. EEE is recent in many of our memories. And the last time I looked at C# (considered using it with Godot), compiling still required some silly setup stuff and the tooling was also subpar compared to Java (though all languages are subpar at tooling vs java. IntelliJ alone is a reason to use Java imo.)
It's not an opinion about a colleague, it's an opinion about their body of work. And again, it isn't a shallow hot take, its a well researched piece. It doesn't get much more "demonstrable" than a video essay full of specifics drawn from a wide variety of sources.

Candidly, may I ask if you had seen the video at the time you made your comment implying we were all accepting it uncritically rather than forming our own opinion? Because I can't help but notice you haven't criticized anything specific about the video.
I didn't know NVIDIA makes server ARM chips. Their tegra processor was promising, specially the GPU part. I hope they bring it back.

This isn't a great example of using the Skadis pegboards, because the author doesn't seem to be using the Skadis hooks or 3D printing their own. One of the huge benefits of Skadis over traditional pegboard is that the larger slots make 3D printed fixtures a much sturdier option, and a huge library of tool-customized models has become available. I've replaced all of my pegboard with Skadis and designed a number of custom mounts to place my tools exactly where I want them as I go about hardware design and assembly. I'm not convinced it's the right solution for my homeland, but after yesterday's LTT video where they mount audio controllers to a sheet of plywood, I'm interested in giving it a shot.

If you have access to a laser cutter, custom-sized skadis-compatible boards can be cut for low cost and with relative ease.
Never wear the same socks more than one day.
> what the fuck do we do with all these jobless people who've been replaced?

Around 1800, 93% of labor in America worked on farms. Today we have jobs that were unimaginable in 1800.

> "how can we replace people and save money?" and not "how can people have better lives and work less?"

Those two are actually the same thing.
>Biased to what? You gave ONE study with a very small sample size of 30, which is a far cry of the 1,000 sample size you suggested?

Go read what I said again because you completely misinterpreted. I said a 1000 sample size isn't needed by a judge. A judge can convict a murderer off of 1 witness.

>That hardly means that the next study which another group attempts to reproduce is conclusive 'evidence' that it is more reliable than doctors.

This is what gets me. Do some people really go through reality only deeming things that have been under the lens of a scientific study to be real? Is the sky blue? Are you alive? Do you need a scientific study to prove it to you? Are you so enamored with science that the only way you can speculate or debate a topic is if the scientific method has been applied rigorously?

Bro, just use chatGPT a couple of times. You'll find it's reliability is roughly above 50% for queries and questions no other machine on the face of the earth can answer. It beats humans consistently at speed and in many instances where creativity is required.

>So this ONE anecdote immediately means that ChatGPT is far more reliable than human doctors and can be used for medical advice? How many cases are there when ChatGPT gets its response incorrect out of 1,000 cases?

No but a sample size of 30 and beating out 17 doctors spending a decade analyzing one child in mere seconds is reasonable evidence that chatGPT is the precursor to the thing that will eat the entire medical diagnosis industry alive.

Right now the machine is better only in certain instances. The delta from zero to now signifies another delta in the impending future.
