Sort of. You want minted bullion. Usually they're capital gains free too. Nonetheless I don't think gold is a great investment for preppers or for just normal investing. There are also some very serious environmental/human rights concerns with gold that keep me out.

I am mildly amused that the "offer musicians a platform to sell and license their music in one easy place" was the (pivoted[1]) focus of a startup I worked at few years back. Except they were backing it with Ethereum and smart contracts.

[1] about three months before they folded due to the original plan[2] not working.

[2] which involved getting record companies to easily license their music and yes, you are probably laughing at about the right level just now.
This is a great example. Low-code is not the solution to everything, like spreadsheets were not the solution to everything.

With low-code, it really does help if the platform is easily extendible and open source. Also, it's important the IT team owns the low-code platform.
Thank you, that was an enlightening text, made me understand better GNUs view of SaaS.

There are many cases where running a self hosted version is not feasible, which are also mentioned in the text. Social media and other services where the information is an important part of the service or software that can not be run on my own machine due to limits in my hardware. But outsourcing simple calculations that can be done locally is a bad thing I agree.
I don't think Lenin ever made such claims, Marxists generally reject moral justifications of socialism because they view them as idealist.

This is something I haven't thought of! Growing up in India, I know that majority of the Indians have their gold in the form of jewelry, and man I've seen people with so much jewelry it's borderline insane (coming from a guy who'd call himself minimalist). I certainly haven't seen people in any other country use gold/jewelry as much as Indians do.

I think the true use of physical gold is as a means of carrying wealth from a collapsing financial system to a new one.

That is, it's not a hedge against inflation, it's a hedge against financial system instability/collapse of which severe inflation can be a harbinger.

Note that AGPL does not actually protect your software from big companies (or small companies) running your software as a service. It requires them to contribute back or make source available when they make changes, and IIRC thats to the user (who could be an enterprise customer under some other agreement even, but none of this is tested in court).

If you want that sort of protection, BSL, SSPL, Elastic license, etc are what you want.

Matrix (primarily developed by the Element company) is rewriting its mobile apps based on a common SDK and rich text editor written in Rust:

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk

The apps themselves are written in Swift and Kotlin respectively, but it’s notable that they can now do this duplicate work much more sustainably because the bulk of their app code lives in a unified Rust layer.

Sorry for misinterpreting you. So the underlying LLM starts misbehaving, and the difficulty you see, is that the system as a whole should fail gracefully. What would that look like, in your eyes? A proctor LLM/whatever that observes the output and decides that it has gone awry and decides to take over?
Eh, this is more a case of the competitors failing than nVidia abusing their market position. Maybe if AMD and Intel put more effort into making their drivers not suck for AI they could sell millions of cards too.
I'd imagine performance will suffer but how does it relate to gains in overall training costs? Ie. with same compute budget, which approach would produce better overall performance?

Expanding on this idea, do you think it makes sense to explore what could be called "bootstrapping phase" or "progressive training" for foundational model training:

- starting with small number of weights that are being increased with further training

- arranging training data with basics first - short sentences, logic, grammar, arithmetic, naive knowledge ("bear is animal" etc) that increases in complexity as training progresses.

- increasing context length - ideally implicit, based on increasing sample sizes

I’m curious what sort of data structures you’re using where you’re hitting deadlocks? Are you by chance doing shared mutation of lists?

I’ve written several async Swift apps and not hid deadlocks but I also tend to structure my data in ways that avoid shared rw access where possible.
Except that this is a normal thing on wireless networks. A station may roam many times within a few minutes, and due to reflections, may even be in more than one place at a time.
I've not really played around with async/await because I immediately found issues trying to replace my GCD code, swift still doesn't have the fine grained control GCD offers.

I replaced some of my other async code with Combine, which I do really like now, it's proving itself to be pretty solid
Letter (see comments for further description) [pdf]
This doesn't happen much to me and my wife since we don't buy much electronics without discretion. However, my wife has a specific Fossil/Kate Spade hybrid watch (analog but can be controlled remotely) that had an app with it. One day, she was cleaning out her phone and accidentally deleted the app to control it. She tries to go back and the app is gone from the store. The watch can probably controlled with the generic software they have, but that's not the purpose (despite the fact that watch/app has/had novelty features.)

It's really annoying though. The watch ticks, but it was built with features that the developer decides it can't support anymore after a few years. I found the Android version outside the google play store and I decompiled it to find the problem she described, which is a seemingly frivolous login feature (to WeChat login service! why?!? I think all Fossil watches in the past few years do this) to control the watch. I might make it a project to fix it one day.

I almost went down the path of buying a panel heater with an app - but, as a rule, no source (free to view, free to modify), no buy.

Talking about iPads, we have one, an iPad mini, that is just an alarm clock now. It's useless otherwise.
> I'd love to see an economists take on the value to a consumer of holding gold in this form, at the price

Directly-held gold is mostly a scam. In good times, vault gold trades at a premium. (Like diamonds, try to sell your ingot of gold for anywhere close to commodity spot.) In bad times, someone will stab you for it.

Unless you have $100+ million, where you can charter your own logistics outside government-sanction lines to e.g. aerolift you [1], your family and your gold across national borders, directly-held gold isn’t doing anything for you.

There are vanishingly few cases where your vault-held gold certificates are valueless while your directly-held gold has value.

[1] Also, news flash, when dictators flee they carry dollars. Gold is heavy and traceable if you’re using proper bars.

> No, the length of time doesn't matter.

I agree with you on this, at least. The length of time doesn't matter.

I would argue that the only sensible reason for a feeling of guilt is actus reus. I didn't participate in colonisation, I don't feel guilty that my ancestors did, and I'm yet to hear a clear argument for why I should.

It does seem logical to feel guilty if you benefit from the displacement of existing societies to their disadvantage, are aware of that benefit, and don't work to correct it.

I'd also suspect that the violence and inhumanity inflicted during colonisation are, as far as the "how guilty should descendents of colonisers feel" calculation goes, irrelevant. The thing that many of us are personally responsible for and should feel guilty about is shutting our eyes, and not doing enough to correct the inequity that still exists today.
I don't think Stallman has been unreasonable in pointing out that rape definition is "forcing someone to have sex against their will" but, as per victim's deposition, she was instructed to seduce and have sex with Minsky by Epstein. Is it so unreasonable to not call Minsky a rapist? Even the victim herself points out that Minsky was not aware of her being coerced.

I have no real sympathy for Stallman besides his FS movement, I find the man disgusting for many reasons, last but not least his hygiene, and his statements about pedophilia were another part of this disgust (albeit he later condemned his own words and apologized). But taking his words out of context to say that he is a rape apologists is no more than Twitter-level witchunting.
Who paid those who created Linux? They are probably humans who have to eat 3 times a day and have a shelter. It was paid by governmental institutions, loved ones of those who write the code and ideologues who made money some other ways(like working at Microsoft or Palantir) and chipped in for the cause.

Linux just has a different business model. If you can do all your things like that, cool.

Many other business models are possible too, use that to create better products than the "invest huge sums now and develop the thing, collect small payments down the road".

It's strange to expect that other business models shouldn't exist so yours can work.

"Protests are meant to be disruptive". It was a very effective protest, and from my memory almost entirely peaceful, which is way more than can be said of other protests in 2020-21. Honking horns somehow caused more media outrage than actual riots

It was surprising to see how quickly people turned around into saying that blue collar workers uniting and striking was a bad thing (with several suggestions that they be forced to work somehow), that protesting government authoritarianism is in fact fascism, that calling someone a Nazi is somehow supporting Naziism, and that the government coercing people by threatening their livelihoods due to their political activities (or refusing medication), and deciding what is and isn't "legitimate" political views, is actually defending democracy

And I have no faith in "yes the law has technical pathological cases but obviously nobody would do that". I used to, but I've just seen enough cases of the letter of the law being twisted with complete disregard to the spirit. E.g. practically any law to do with terrorism
It's quoted literally in the arstechnica article.

> "Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it," Stallman wrote. "Through personal conversations in recent years, I've learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per [sic] psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why."
Nope. But please understand that I can't elaborate this since I still think it is a nice idea. But I give you a hint: I talked about precious metals, not gold. :-)
> That said, if they fix the outright removal of paid things problem, and start treating “artist” as first class instead of “label” in searches and links, I’ll be singing their praises.

I had paid things removed from my bandcamp collection a few years ago. The only recourse provided by band camp was to contact the artist(al things were from the same artist). If the experience of another user that responded to you about being able to download removed things that were paid for... well that is much better than the bandcamp experience since I can not download things that were removed.
Argentina has 100% annual inflation and going up while the US has less than 10% and going down. The USD is not going anywhere spectacular, because there is no more stable country to flee to.

The one thing that can reliably trigger inflation in almost any country is oil/gas shortages on the global market, and you can't hedge that with precious metals nor store a 20 year supply in your house.

The EU (technically, the European Commission and the European Council) is a large organization, so naturally there are many positions inside.

However, my impression is it has been a force for good overall, giving us cross-country mobility, getting rid of cellphone roaming charges, and avoiding waste by trying to standardize plugs. They notably introduced GDPR to protect citizen's data and they provide a court of human rights, and there is a push for "data sovereignty".
And almost all of them ended up either moving to the US and/or employed by a large US tech organisation. No one is claiming the people from the EU aren't super smart, talented and innovative, just that the EU does a terrible job at of fostering and nurturing that.

The Seven Meetings You Hate
That seems like a personal problem.
Bram has unfortunately died.
This is strange, apparently they're selling at a significant loss?

Current online price, $1930. Spot gold, $1872.59. So a little less than a $58 premium.

My credit card gives me 2% back, and my Costco membership 2% on top of that, for a total of 4%. I assume that Costco probably pays a bit more than 2% for card processing, and of course they're the ones actually paying me the 2% back from the membership.

So that's at least 4%, not including the minter's profits, shipping and security costs, warehouse worker wages and overhead, insurance, shrinkage, etc, which are surely at least a few percent more of the sales price.

But just 4% of $1930 is $77, meaning I would recognize a hypothetical profit in an immediate spot sale of $77 - $58 = $19 per bar. Costco's actual loss is certainly more than that, realistically probably more like $50+ per bar, or most likely $100+ per member.

Weird. The article mentions preppers, I guess they really want them as members.

Jax has a much nicer handling of higher order differentiation. PyTorch has functions to compute Hessians and there are libraries to keep differentiability through optimizers, but going out of their standard use-cases becomes tricky very fast.

> Do you guys know of any ways to reduce your risks of getting cancer? I know not smoking tobacco works.

We know most cancers are preventable and caused by our lifestyle/environment

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2515569/

Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, avoid smoked food, avoid processed red meat, avoid plastic food containers/beverage containers, buy bio food or food which has grown with minimal amount of pesticide

Exercise, that'll help not being overweight/obese/diabetic

Get vaccinated against hpv (you're probably too old for that one)

Don't live in a polluted area/city center, avoid owning furniture's that release toxic gases (a lot of things treated to be fireproof or fire resistant are awful)

Wear sunscreen or long clothes, get your weird moles checked

At the end of the day we all know it deep down, you can easily prevent a lot os health issues by not being overweight/obese and avoiding alcohol/cigarettes
"Silicon Valley". It's not a movie, but a documentary TV series about startup scene in '00 ;)
The GPL is a great license. It protects the author and the rights of the users. But a younger generation has gotten used to thinking of open source as "a free thing I can use for work", rather than as the blood-sweat-and-tears of someone else who has contributed hundreds of their own hours. So they bristle at copyleft.

If I switch my project to GPL I immediately will lose most potential contributors and a lot of users, who will start complaining about my license choice or will be forbidden by their employer from contributing to it or using it.

Corporate entities are (maybe rightly) scared of the GPL. And the rise of open source work by/in FAANG companies, etc. has meant the undermining of that license.
