This explanation doesn't quite convince me, because if this really were the primary issue, USA could have globalized its consumer base not just for low quality products and pop culture, but high quality development.

I think the root problem is political: recognizing that USA's extraordinarily successful mid-century economic model was the result of a compromise by the ruling capitalists to avoid facing a European-style revolution (e.g. Bolshevism) at home.

As the Cold War reached its heights in the early 60s, that delicate equilibrium was destroyed, and the capitalists had a new mandate. State regulation, labor unions went from "necessary evil to avoid revolution" to "evil", and the robber barons could return to their early 20th century form. Thus we got the 70s and endless financialization.
It’s not a conspiracy theory. The nation’s car-centic instructure is a direct result of the decisions and actions of Robert Moses, as detailed in The Power Broker.

Not to say that “emergent social dynamics” didn’t play a role, but Moses singlehandedly built most highways in NYC, and influenced hundreds (thousands?) more around the world. And he built them not simply as a response to emerging demand, but because he personally saw cars as the future of transportation.

I suggest reading The Power Broker to learn more about this; I wouldn’t have believed it either before reading it!
I think streaming killed the "album", sure there were always singles, but they would be used to promote an upcoming album, now musicians and labels keep it at that. I miss the days of getting a new cd and moving the last one from my cars cd player to the visor cd sleeve.

I definitely wouldn't want the economic incentive to be for artists to make all their songs 10-20 minutes long...

But more importantly, for popular music, song length doesn't correlate to work or effort, generally speaking. A 6 minute song doesn't take 50% more effort than a 4 minute one.

(Other genres like classical are different though -- a 25-minute long symphonic movement obviously takes ~5x as much work to both write and record than a 5-minute one.)
Anything with credits is shit. It creates an artificial sense of scarcity and really sours my experience with a company. At the very least it should be something non fungible along the lines of “you can 200 generates a month”.
I dug into this a while back, iirc, :handwavy: it comes down to "pausing" template rendering and calling the LLM with all content generated so far. https://github.com/guidance-ai/guidance/blob/main/guidance/l...

This is how we implemented it anyhow, with some more parameters to control how that all works (and the LLM params) at each "pause" point. The _neat_ part for us was that a template helper could make use of the partially generated content. Hadn't thought about that before for a templating engine, but was trivial to implement in the end

A password is a secret. A certificate is fully public (it’s useless if not). I don’t see how they’re similar in that dimension. Or how certificates are possible without a third party (a core reason for all the ceremony). Passwords get away with not needing a third party involved because they’re a prearranged process. Certificates aren’t, I need to be able to hit any website at any point, for the first time.
Not an expert, but isn't most classical music like that? Most long pieces (e.g., concertos?) start with the main theme that gets unpacked in later parts of the performance.

yep, I usually leave the prompt blank and get the result I want, I only write a prompt if I don't like what I get without the prompt.

The thing is if you want to have it add a spaceship or a pretty girl or something like that to the photo it has to make more background to go with whatever you tell it it draw so it automatically draws something consistent with the scene without a prompt.

There is a whole research area about tools that do "editing" so you could tell it to do something specific to an image, say "increase the exposure by 0.2 stops" (not that you need a.i. for that but somebody might rather do that than find the function in the UI) or "add a fourth motorcycle to the three motorcycles that are parked in a row" and that's even being done for 3-d models with NeRFs and point clouds and such but that's not what generative fill does right now.

You give them read only access, the financial API ecosystem is extremely well defined and provides advanced access control. I'm pretty sure you just log in to your bank account and they establish read only access. I would be shocked if Mint stored these logins, I don't think they can do that.

I think quite a bit of stuff like texture generation has already been used for some time - just on the developers machines pre-release. I suppose using these technologies client-side in real time will be something else entirely. Consumer hardware is lagging behind for that though, even with optimizations such as quantization tweaks etc.
Thanks for sharing. I've been dealing with health problems since a covid infection and have been experimenting with breath work.

Honestly what jumps out to me reading this is how unclear his communication is, and I don’t mean from the perspective of native/non native English speaker.

It’s hard to understand specifically what he means here, which just may be due to a lack of context, even though I generally get his point.

I think mostly I’m just being a harsh grader here because I expected someone like him to communicate very clearly and concisely.

No. Knowledge of the CA private key does not allow for this. In all cases you have the webserver's private key, whether you issue the cert yourself or if someone else does.

If you have the web server's private key, you can decrypt the traffic, but only if PFS ciphers are not used.

It is a common misconception that knowledge of CA keys allows you to decrypt traffic. It does not. It allows you to issue valid certificates. It's only used for signing.

It's the webserver's key that protects the traffic. The webserver's operator has that key regardless of who the CA is. In the case of PFS cipher suites (eg EDH) an ephemeral key is used for confidentiality and the endpoint keys are just used for integrity and key authentication. Even with the webserver key you aren't decrypting those streams.

In no case does the CA private key help you decrypt traffic.

Not everyone wants to live in a dense city. It's perfectly understandable that you like density and want more of it but not everyone feels that way.

Even if it isn't what interests a person, I think it's reasonable to have empathy for people who moved into a location specifically because it had a level of density that met their needs and don't want to be repeatedly be forced out of their home to maintain the conditions they chose to live in-- particularly given host costly and disruptive moving is (severing ties with your community, loss of business relationships, substantial tax increases due to prop 13, and currently massive increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates).
I think that would be an interesting number to know. I get occasional pings for remote contract options, the rates have dropped quite a bit from personal observation.

I’ve been lucky to be fully remote for over a decade. I avoided talking beyond a couple screens with Amazon during Covid because the hiring managers were wishy washy about if “hired remote” meant that would be a permanent thing. Despite the hullabaloo I think most Amazon management knew fully remote had an end date.
>The time series chart shows a pretty strong decrease in the number of layoffs the last month

Do people remember how these companies were talking a year ago? Because I do.

Meanwhile, I just searched Google News for "[company] quarterly results" for the three companies with the highest layoff rounds and here were the headlines for the top result for each:

>Alphabet reports better-than-expected quarterly results driven by growth in cloud

>Amazon reports blowout profit, beats on sales and issues optimistic guidance

>Meta reports better-than-expected results and issues optimistic guidance for third quarter

It is almost like the "difficult economic environment" that was "forcing their hands" might not have been as real as they were claiming. I don't know if this was another example of active collusion among big tech companies, but it certainly seems like these layoffs were at least partially motivated by power starting to shift too much into the hands of labor for the liking of some of these companies.

> That's a problem stemming from government regulation that prevents competition in diabetes insulin.

It's amazing how neo-liberal see government the source of half of their problem. When generally speaking, the true source of their problems is just corporations trying to fuck them up and do business as usual.

We have insulin regulation in most of Europe and Japan.

And still insulin cost there less than 10$ and close to 100$ in USA.

Why ?
I don’t know, I understand why you’d rush to his defense, but in this case I don’t view him as an especially great ceo.

He performs well, as you’d expect from an extremely well compensated CEO of one of the preeminent technology companies of our time, but he’s by no means been exceptional.
I tend to follow what I call the "toolbox rule," mostly because I've used it the most with tools. If I find I need something, I'll buy a cheap version of it, even if the cheap version is noticeably lower quality (which it almost always is). Then, if I use said cheap version enough that it either breaks or is no longer useful to me anymore, I'll buy a nicer one. It helps me justify the greater expense and demonstrates the need for it.

I've done this with umbrellas, camelbaks, tents, ski equipment, but mostly, as stated before, tools.
Is the real problem that US manufacturing is "uncompetitive"? Or is it that actual US-based capability to manufacture advanced and military products at scale is a non-priority for the folks making all the decisions?
I think that’s only half right… the financialization is driven via a priority of short term profits that are incentivized by the market to executives. They play the BS game to just get rich and then dip, company be damned in the long run.
If that’s the only thing it’s used for in the project, then you are most likely good with Autowired (in Sping) or something similar.

Any complicated DI solution must have a reason for it being there and I’ve seen too many projects complicating themselves on buzzwords like DI or MSOA without really needing either that much
LMQL requires a user to learn a bespoke programming language. Not a good idea, no one really wants to have to learn a new programming language to work with one library or framework. You have to have a really compelling offering. With LLMs, the libraries and frameworks are a dime-a-dozen, so it's going to be a much bigger ask of your users
This is a really interesting question. There is the issue that Pfizer is too big to fail and there is no situation where countries that bet their democratic legitimacy on Pfizer products are going to prosecute them, so there isn't a short case you can publish and reasonably time. The thing about betting on conspiracy theories is that the theories only exist because they're getting away with it. They say you should buy the rumor and sell the news, but the smarter play may be to buy the conspiracy theory - and then just hold indefinitely.

The main advantage is that this CA and all downstream certificates would be globally-trusted (limited to the domain), which is not the case for a custom CA.

Security-wise it shouldn't be any worse than wildcard certificates which are already a thing. It would actually improve things, because the user can now issue downstream certificates much more granularly without having to interact with the root CA (so you can issue fully offline for an intranet, or issue extremely-short-lived certificates that would otherwise run afoul of root CA's rate-limits).
I think that’s also fairly accurate. I always had a weird feeling on how the Scandinavian countries were in close contact with the Soviet Union and that might have influenced them to follow a more hybrid societal model than other Western countries. I haven’t done enough research to explain it either way.

I do think physical capitalism exhausted itself, but it was more in the 90s and 00s that we see more psychological capitalism arriving with the first internet products that have no physicality associated with them - social media and networks. Then we have a real (or apparent) exhaustion of physical capitalism.

Well, anyone that does geometric algebra thinks a bit about formal quantities that mix grades.
Eugenics is definitely a loaded term. It denotes good genes and of course everyone wants that. On the other hand it connotes a bunch of ugliness like culling persons with undesirable traits.

Everyone practices eugenics in the denotational sense after all. Nobody thinks “hey, I want to have children with this person that I think will give them bad genes”

Incidentally one of the major selling points of abortion is culling persons with genetic defects, which is absolutely eugenic.
I also have a 3080, and there’s no way SD is faster. The best comparison as far as resolution is SDXL and in the time it takes me to generate one image at a reasonable amount of steps Adobe generates 3 options.

This is referring to the Photoshop stuff, which is way better than any type of SD inpainting for removing things from images. Firefly might be slower? I haven’t used it since it first came out.

I agree for just general image generation SD or Midjourney are better options in their own way.
Just wish I could find a 7840U in a flagship ~13” ultrabook with a big battery. That’s surprisingly hard to find, for some reason AMD tends to get relegated to second-tier models and paired with middling batteries.
The reporter is the system that sends updates to your external observers; observers register with the reporter and the reporter facilitates their consumption of events.

In the case of a webhook, this is the first tier (the actual event store) that individual webhooks contexts are following (on the service side). You need these to be per-outbound-destination to avoid head of line blocking.

I am proposing that people use state synchronization paradigms and not simple event replication for their notification systems. Since the remote side is not within your control (typically) the state compression all needs to be service side.

If you want to explore systems like this, you should start with the basics of how routing protocol peering actually works inside routing protocol implementations. In that context, you have dozens to hundreds of fast and slow consumers that are trying to converge with what is, basically a forever changing data set through the exchange of adds, deletes, and updates with peers. Any given downstream peer may block for extended periods of time, they may resume, and so on, and you cannot buffer significant amounts of data per peer (since the stack _must_ consume updates from its own peers).

Alternately, start looking into how databases sync with one another beyond the simple replicated transaction log sense.

Those are pretty awful by current standards - you could buy a midrange minipc or laptop from a few cpu generations ago and get similar/better compute performance for much lower power draw.

If you're just running a homelab and you don't have poor quality wall power or something you aren't really gaining anything from ECC ram either.

Although you said you were thinking of upgrading, so you're probably aware of this already.
I know what you're getting at, and it's a very difficult issue, but if you are advocating against screening out Down Syndrome then I disagree.

A question worth asking yourself is: If I had the power to give myself, or someone I love and want the best for, Down Syndrome, would I do so? Especially consider the case where the person is young enough not to remember life before the change.
I often hear the phrase "you can't drive by looking in the rear view mirror". In practice, though, most businesses actually do that.

A lot of the companies with layoffs had a "bad" quarter or so, but hiring continued during that bad quarter. So they correct for the past with layoffs, then resume hiring.

It makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.
Yes and it took a long time!

It seems like an appeal to certain billionaires to be more audacious and inventive when it comes to their philanthropic and prosocial pursuits. He puts particular emphasis on educational institutions, alluding to a higher purpose than simply donating more millions into the bloated endowment industry. Which tends to be resistant to large scale innovation within its own sphere (MOOCs are a great idea, but they don't seem to have bootstrapped into actual institutions on their own standing like they might have).

It doesn't seem like he's advocating for new special powers for a new special in-group so much as waxing thoughtfully about what better to do with what they already have. It's easy enough to be cynical about his motivations. Maybe the distinction of being a "natural aristocrat" is merely self-serving and conceited. But we have aristocrats whether we like it or not. Perhaps a subset of the modern aristocracy might be more naturally aligned with his idealistic notions, and thus heed a calling to transformatively serve the public out of which they rose. I personally can forgive a bit of hubris if it is wielded responsibly and aimed at lofty, altruistic goals (because I'm a total sucker for that kind of rhetoric).
