Extremely well put, I don’t often see a comment matching my perspective / experience so closely in these discussions.

I believe that the challenge of onboarding for remote teams in more fundamentally difficult than is acknowledged. I’m not so sure that the best remote-first culture and process can ever match a good in-person onboarding experience.
You can't apply the rule "look at the future versions of the people who make this choice" to criticize office drones and then not do the same to "Alaskan hitchhikers". It's perfectly plausible that most of those people's life outcomes are worse than the office drone, bad as that is. Worse, you probably only get to meet the "best" of the Alaskan hitchhikers, not a representative sample, many of which are probably in an invisible underclass.

A non-trivial part of this difference is that train cars are generally bigger
than a bus. Light rail is generally more bus sized and they are generally
closer in weight (though still heavier).

Muni's articulated streetcars weigh about 100,000 lbs each while typically the max weight for a laden tractor trailer is around 80,000 lbs. Light rail is a marketing term, not indicative of the actual weight.
I dont think erowid content would be good to tell safety of a drug, probably more what type of experience you'd get using a drug at certain doses.

What would be interesting would be training using the data from PsychonautWiki[0] which has all sorts of good data about drug information & safety (and experiences)

> The short version is the scientist leading the team who first synthesized it was also the person who first attempted to popularize its use, and is pretty much a poster-child for "sex- and drug-crazed hippy".

You seem to have missed some history.

LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Albert Hoffman and first accidentally ingested in 1943 by the same. He was not a 'sex- and drug-crazed hippy'. You are certainly thinking of Timothy Leary, a clinical psychologist, had a mushroom experience in 1960 and spun that into a bunch of research into uses of psychedelics in psychology. He was eventually fired by Harvard in 1963. He then kinda goes off the rails, eventually he went to and escaped from prison along with many other exploits.

I refuse that, it's narcissistic and lacking in empathy, and in my experience largely from a lack of direct interaction with the young.
If you're rich and still working long hours you're not working because of the money. If you can be the CEO of multiple companies, those companies are not getting a full-time workweek and that person very likely isn't doing it for the money.

Were they debunked? I thought that they only had some methodological mistake which made them inconclusive.
I was at a place with the exact same problems that was in-office pre-pandemic. It was even worse: you couldn't book time with architects OR product managers. For PMs you had to add your questions to a document and join a sometimes daily 30min meeting and hope they got to your questions.

This isn't an office vs remote problem. It's a hiring not enough people and pretending that doing no planning is okay, problem.

This isn't what I took away from it. It's basically your environment really dictates a lot of who you are and what you become. From my experience, this is absolutely the case.

> They built something which is repairable but not upgradeable. The modular parts are the ones most likely to fail, not the ones most likely to become obsolete. But that doesn't seem to have increased the cost by any significant degree, so why doesn't everybody else do at least that?

It's a few cents, and it makes packaging more difficult. If Samsung shaves a single penny off of each phone they sell, they are more a million dollars more profitable per year.

But most mid-to-high end phones do have a significant number of modular parts. Battery, camera, speakers, displays, and sometimes IO are modular on many phones, and repair shops will fix these for customers.

> Meanwhile many PC laptops do make the upgradeable parts modular. Laptops with modular memory, CPU, wireless etc. are available for less than a Macbook or iPhone.

Modular CPUs are generally not available on laptops anymore, that's a thing of the past anymore. Modular memory and wireless are starting to disappear, in part due to latency requirements for the later memory standards, and packaging and power requirements for popular thin-and-light segment devices.

If you're asking why phones don't have modular memory, the answer is simple: they're optimized for small size and low power, and adding a connector would compromise on that. Also, it would require inventing a new memory standard since modular LPDDR does not exist.

> So where is the exponential cost?

You see exponential costs if you look at devices that actually have extended lifetimes. I'm not talking about one consumer phone compared to another. In the scheme of things, they really all have expected lifetimes around a handful of years. Compare the redundancy and expected lifetime of consumer products to industrial products to aerospace products if you want to see how making something last a long time can be very expensive. If you want to double a product's lifetime, you are often looking at 10x the cost, if not more.

> This is a "current vendors are crap" problem rather than any kind of technological barrier.

Well, it's not possible to make a phone without relying on vendors for some parts. There are too many specialized parts. Not even Apple has enough resources to in-house it all, and they have been trying.

>> $2.50/box today relative to $2.00/box in 2019 represents +25% inflation...so nowhere near purported pre-COVID levels.

Annualized, that is 5.7% inflation. (1.25 increase ^ 0.25 for 4 years elapsed). So not pre-covid levels, but not nominal 25% annual inflation. Still a little over 2x desired annual growth rate.

just like opening letters, or search warrants, as long as the data is accessed via a court order, which has audit and transparency attached, it should be OK.

What's not allowed is indiscriminate vacuuming of data for analysis to see if "crimes" have been committed.

Forcing banks to allow homeless people to open bank accounts only "works" if someone is going to compensate the banks for all the costs associated with those clients.

Banks only "work" because they can earn interest on deposits. Homeless people will likely not have enough deposits to make it worth serving them, and they will likely also cost more in support and fraud.

If you compensate them too little, banks will do their best to wriggle out of it or make it inconvenient. If you compensate them too much, they will become predatory in opening homeless accounts. In any case, the incentive structure is all wrong once you try to force the free market in the wrong direction. And who's going to be paying? I hope it's not me.

There is no way this would end well.

People are different from property. Jesus what are you doing.

Also the correct analogy for the lawsuit would be leaving someone else to unsafe circumstances. Perhaps a vendor that sold the woman pepper spray that didn't spray. Would that vendor be blameless because a crime occurred and only the criminal gets blame?

Edit: Though if you really want an in-depth answer to your question, I would say that just by being an autonomous human being you are self-protecting in a way that meets the bar. Your items can't do the same, so you need to apply protections to them if they're in a place with easy public access.

I'm sure the NSA 9-5ers justify weakening standards processes by the fact it's still secure enough to be useful for citizens and some gov orgs but flawed enough to help themselves when it matters at x point in the future.

No one can say they pushed some useless or overtly backdoored encryption. That's rarely how Intel agencies work. It's also not how they need to work to maintain their effectiveness indefinitely.

When the CIA is trying to recruit for HUMINT if they can get claws into anything whether it's a business conference that has a 0.1% chance they'll meet some pliable young but likely future industry insider that may or may not turn into a valuable source then they'll show up to every single year to that conference. It's a matter of working every angle you can get.

They aren't short of people, time, or money. And in security tiny holes in a dam turn into torrents of water all the time.

The fact NIST is having non public backroom meetings with NSA, concealing NSA employee paper authors, generating a long series of coincidental situations preferencing one system, and stonewalling FIOAs from reputable individuals. IDK, if was a counter intelligence officer in charge of detecting foreign IC work I'd be super suspicious of anything sold as safe and open from that org.
Your environment during your early formative years, yes. By the time you're in your mid-late teens, your moral reasoning is already pretty much solidified (and really it's more about clan loyalty than morality at that point - although we often conflate the two when it comes to inter-clan conflict).
Right, no one is rejecting the notion of regulation.

But personal preferences are a bad way to choose regulation — businesses can aggregate preferences much better than the state can.

Once I witnessed the impressive capabilities of ChatGPT, I too reached the same conclusion. However, I believe this extends beyond just the realm of blogs. Consider all the programming knowledge cultivated by publishers like O'Reilly, Apress, and The Pragmatic Programmer. It's conceivable to me that ChatGPT may eventually through some legal/illegal means gather that published knowledge and make it not economically worthwhile for people to work on those types of programming books.

The only content that may remain beyond ChatGPT's grasp is the highly specialized and niche knowledge that isn't readily available online or in published materials. I'm also wondering with this AI tech we may start a culture of knowledge hording as a defense measure in order to stay relevant/employed.

As a software developer, it's evident that I need to find a niche and cultivate expertise if I want to remain employed throughout my career to retirement. This is what keeps me up at night...

> Also note that most other languages except C++ also have VLAs.

I don't think that's actually true.

Lots of modern languages have "pointer plus length"--they call them lots of different things but I think "slices" is a common term. But those aren't VLAs.

Some languages have variable vectors backed by a compile-time fixed-size array (See Zig: BoundedArray). But, again, not a VLA.

I'm trying very hard to think of a non-GC language that allows you to allocate a run-time length array on the stack other than C, and I'm not coming up with one.
It's not a black and white issue easily swept under the rug by an elitist platitude about what the cowering masses deserve. There's a lot of installation cases (older hardware -> newest systems) where System Integrity Protection will be partially lowered by default[1], and most installations will need to keep it that way.

That needn't be a show stopper, but before somebody starts patching with OCLP, some deliberation about their threat model and their macOS security expectations would be healthy. Specially for hand-me-down hardware that ends up in less tech-savvy hands.

> there appears to be at least a misalignment between the purely technical (?) vision of the tweet and the much wider remit of a foundation that he started years ago.

Is there? Why do they need to be aligned? The foundation is aligned to who's in charge of it "today". If those mentioned in the tweet are no longer in some sort of control they can't expect it to go the way they "wish".
Seems the discrepancy is more related to whether the “not” is applied like:

!A && !B && !C

or:

!(A && B && C)

which the informed readers knows is equivalent to

!A || !B || !C

So a little more nuanced than what “and” means. This article would have been great to use in a lesson in the logic unit when I used to teach geometry.
I’m generally anti “self driving” as it’s demonstrably not safe in the general case, but this particular case seems like something that anyone could have done, and possibly impossible to have avoided (the self driving car braked immediately).

If you’re following a car around a corner, and that car hits someone and does not stop, your first indication that there’s a person would be a ground level pedestrian momentarily appearing after the car had finished running them over. This is actually an ideal case for self driving tech as their camera positioning gives them a lower vantage point, and it’s possible the victim would not ever be visible to a human driver.
It lets you refactor your code to line by line.
Yeah, for Cree it is definitely more suspect than trustworthy. Another thing I noticed was that on another attempt I actually received different translations, so.. it's hard to say how this is going to be refined to be usable, or if it indeed is at all.

And wow, yes we are all alone on google results for those strings.

EDIT 1: Another thought occurs to me, if it's getting the transliteration right, and not the syllabics, maybe I seperate the tasks and go english -> transliteration -> syllabic. I will have to see if that approach works better.

Another idea might be to use that syllabics site to bring it from transliteration -> syllabic. I noticed that they were correct if translated there.

EDIT 2: By updating the system prompt I was able to get it to translate properly. I had to remind it to be correct!

You are an expert in translating Cree. When translating you will include both the native writing system, and the romanization into the latin alphabet. When you romanize text you always include any accents or pronunciation marks. You use syllabics properly and in the modern usage

The worst apart about SemVer is that people expect that anything that LOOKS like SemVer follows the SemVer spec, however mediocre it may be. SemVer doesn't count as an Engineering spec, its a bunch of arbitrary shit that you can or not follow, and has absolutely no meaning or enforcement.
hi,

I'm the author.

I have never questioned the clarity of that sentence, at least until today :-)

By "0.5x" I mean "0.5 times or 0.5 multiplied by the reference time" where "reference time" is the inference time of OnnxRuntime. So I'm actually meaning "50%".

I think the expression "0.5x slower", taken by itself, could be misleading, but in the context of the original sentence it becomes clearer ("while being only 0.5-2x slower", the "only" is important here!!!).

But I think the general context of that sentence defines its meaning. I am referring to the fact that under no circumstances could my project, with its premises, be in any scenario even a single millisecond faster than OnnxRuntime. Then in the second paragraph of the README the goal of the project is stated, which is precisely to trade off inference time for RAM usage! Obviously combined with the fact that the performance data is clearly reported and that I repeat several times that the generation of a single image takes hours or even dozens of hours.

However, given the possible misunderstanding, I will correct the sentence in the next few days.

In Washington state (I don’t know CA rules), pedestrians have to yield to traffic if they are not crossing at an intersection, but they are still permitted to cross as long as they yield to traffic. The exception is if they cross between two intersections that are controlled by lights, then that is considered jay walking.

“Right of way” and “must yield” does not mean a car is allowed to hit a pedestrian who doesn’t follow the rules, of course. The pedestrian is just not following the rules and can be cited for that. But practically speaking, most collisions involving such situations are not faulted against the driver unless some other factor is involved. It’s still a mess for them, however.
