Types and units are very different concepts. In fact it's quite hard to formalize the way units are used in everyday physics.

For example, what is the type of the / operation such that 4m/2s = 2m/s, but also 4kg/2kg = 2?

It's not impossible of course, but it is highly tedious and complex to actually define these types in a formal way.

Not to mention, linear algebra (matrix operations) gets REALLY ugly to define formal types for really fast if you allow different measurement units for every matrix element, like you often do in physics.

And, just like the others, I never met a physics class that didn't enforce unit maths at every step of computation, starting in sixth grade.

But this is done with a simple informal system, not type theory of all things. The informal system of measurement units being essentially to treat the units as special values that act as factors and obey all the usual rules of multiplication and division, and don't allow addition or subtraction.

Maybe the most important aspect in the context of current LLM approachs would be that you need tons of training material.
They're also benchmarking on Github Actions runners, with swings of up to ~50% from run to run, which is more than enough to shuffle the results to more or less random positions. I contributed to it last week but without any will to solve that kind of fundamental problem I don't see it as being particularly good.

There's also no control on quality of contributions to the language-specific benchmarks.
I was listening to an interview program several months ago about suicide in veterinarians and they spent quite a bit of time talking — not all of the time, or even most of the time, but more than I thought — about takeovers of vet clinics by private equity firms. Basically they were saying that older veterinarians will get an offer from a private equity firm, sell the practice to them, and then retire early, and the stress on the remaining practitioners would go up.

It seems like this pattern might not apply everywhere (or might), that the problems are broader than the US.
> Or is this statement necessary but not sufficient for a meaningful life?

Victor Frankl would say that your overall goal is to find your meaning, so I'd say KK's argument is not sufficient for a meaningful life. Without meaning, your 'authenticity', 'uniqueness', etc is empty.

Over the last year, I've been engaging in something called existential therapy. This is less about your childhood (or adult) traumas, fears, etc, and more about exploring and/or finding your meaning. There's a focus on defining your values; you can start to see where your meaning lies through that lens.

It's been surprisingly difficult for me - not in thinking about what's important to me, but about how to incorporate that into something called 'meaning'. Or worse, I may know that, for me, it's a core value that "people should be treated with dignity and respect" but finding my meaning in that is hard. I don't know how to channel that into an action, other than by being striving for things like decency and kindness in individual interactions. (Of course, getting involved in some group, but I've done so in the past and don't feel particularly called in that direction now.)

So the search continues. I envy those who seem to find their meaning early in life (my partner is one of them), but my own (ongoing) search for it has brought with it an interesting and variegated life so far, and maybe that's enough. (Of course it isn't! :)
"History is Written by Victors.” The quote gets attributed to Winston Churchill, but its origins are unknown. It implies that history is not grounded in facts, rather it's the winners' interpretation of them that prevails. The victors can force their narrative down on the people.

Have you heard those quotes before? I'm not arguing that this proves Lewis is correct, just that those quotes seem fitting for this moment.

You should really stop calling someone's father dishonest or trying to tell someone they misunderstanding something to which you don't have a single connection. That's going to get you into trouble someday. You should stick to your own family interpretations.

This is going to be controversial but having worked at tiny startups, I really don’t think SBF is atypical in his decision making. I think his fatal mistake was not realizing the scale he’s playing at and that you can’t keep doing these things when your company is the size of FTX.

It doesn’t help there’s strange personality traits mixed in that were exasperated by the easy money. But I honestly do buy the “reckless kid” narrative.

People also gloss over seven of the eight billion having been recovered. It doesn’t seem impossible that all the money gets returned. Part of this is luck, but maybe there is at-least some credence to the liquidity argument.

I’m in no way advocating for SBF but I don’t think Michael Lewis is wildly wrong.

You probably can't easily integrate "in the same way"; I suspect this was a large engineering effort. However, you could do a barebones cross-post to Mastadon using something like IFTT: https://ifttt.com/explore/how-to-crosspost-mastodon-twitter.
Spanner is probably the least likely thing to ever get cancelled at google by a long shot. It powers basically every single product at google and has been around for many years. I can't think of another Google product that has been around for so long and used internally and externally so heavily besides Gmail (which uses spanner).
The point being (as far as I understand) if, during the period tested for recall, the brain was dead, yet recall was successfull, it would challenge the brain-mind science (i.e. "no brain, no mind")

IOW successful recall would highly suggest "out of body" experience / "mindfulness" despite lack of brain activity.

Like I said in the last 2 comments, I honestly don't care about this. The fact that you reached for my CUDA meme as a legitimate counterpoint after being refuted so hard is almost heartbreaking. You can rest, you don't have to spend every opportunity grinding your axe on a corporation's behalf.

It is really funny watching you be butthurt about European regulators though. Can we go back to that, or will I have to wait for the bill to hit frontpage again? If you're done complaining about that stuff, I don't think we have much more to talk about (sorry for cutting out the eGPU detour, hope you had fun).

To be explicit about where julia fits in here, Julia is a "not slow" language (you could make an argument for it being on the faster end of "mostly not slow" due to GC) that also has enough high level features (higher order functions, macros, memory management, general ease of use) to work as a high level language. You absolutely can write a distributed python codebase that runs faster than single core julia, but doing so will likely be harder than writing the distributed/threaded Julia code that is way faster than PySpark.
With these improvements llama.cpp/ggml is really becoming a pretty competitive serving stack even for large scale cloud hosted AI. I wonder how ggerganov finds the time to do all this, does anyone know if he's being sponsored?
It's ok to be wrong; it's not ok to change your original writeup and continue to insist that you have been right all along

I removed the section about the bash restriction (which was not particularly important), but the content of the post did not change: https://github.com/MegaManSec/JoshuaHu/commit/11cd746a0efb02...

The failure is instead a systemic one that allowed an ineffective and insecure configuration to be applied to a system. Some process (or maybe no defined process) 1) led "the administrator" of the system in question to do it and 2) didn't provide any verification or review of the configuration change.

Almost as if the post is therefore detailing _how_ it is an ineffective and an insecure configuration.
I had the same question. I assume this was to test if the following experience was based on real events, or imagined.

Just as a hand in the air...Be careful about what you're comparing here. # of API calls over a period of time is...largely irrelevant in the face of QPS. I can happily write a DDOS script that massively bombards a service, but if that halts my QPS then it doesn't matter. So sure, trillions of API calls were made (still impressive in the scope of the overall network of services, I'm not downplaying that), but ultimately, for DynamoDB and Spanner, it's the QPS that mattered to us in terms of comparisons of DB scaling and performance.
That’s the warm feeling of acceptance.
Lambda is the most expensive thing you can do if you have more than 25% utilization. Fargate is extremely close to modern on-demand EC2 pricing (m7a family).
Well - not to increase your fear of death - but, presumably your English teacher is still alive, so his experience is wholly distinct from actual death.
They sadly switched from including json time to excluding it… :(
this is my opinion, too. and i do a good bit of time in the backcountry.
Impressive. What turns ratio are we talking about here?
It's not necessary to have an experience that lasts hours in order to have a memory of an experience that lasted hours, even less necessary if it's just the feeling of an experience that lasted hours.

Our memory is highly fallible and easily manipulated, at least compared to how much people tend to believe it's a flawless record of the past.

All memories exist in the present, a memory created a minute ago about an experience a year ago would feel just as real as the memory created a year ago - probably even more so, given how fresh it would be.

Everything I read about near death experiences suggests to me that it's a brain making things up, coupled with more stimuli being processed by the "dead" patient's brain than people assume is possible - accounting, I think, very well for the "things the patient could not have known".

There is no life after death, and there is no existence separate to the body - before our birth we were not; now we are; at some point, we won't be again.
To the degree this magical technology is available today (or soon) because of the profit motive, I sincerely hope you’re wrong. I want the promise of fabulous reward to drive what was science fiction only a couple decades ago.
Amazing -- could you describe it a bit more?
Ridiculous entitled view. At minimum, vets have to do undergrad + four years of vet school. If you find a board certified vet, they will have gone through 1-2 years of internships, and another 2-3 years of a residency, plus board exams. Technicians in many US states have to at least have an AA degree, but the competition is such that many have Bachelors these days. I know of a few that even have Masters.

And a lot of drugs are re-purposed from human medicine. Syringes, IVs, antibiotics. The manufacturers are not giving vets a discount just because it's being used in a rabbit. You just never see those prices for yourself because insurance hides it. The vets have to pass it on to you because their business is not a charity.

If you don't want top quality care for your pet and you don't value the skill and knowledge of a trained professional, there's plenty of bargain basement vets that are willing to cut corners.
>First, most of the 53 survivors initially flat-lined on the EEG, but, with continued CPR, recovered brain activity up to 60 minutes later.

Good lord that's a long time. Does this mean that if I'm performing CPR, I should keep going for 61 minutes? Longer?

Here's a simple test you can try yourself: put some food in your mouth and hold your nose. What do you taste? Now do it again with your nose not blocked. Try this for various foods.

I got this from Science and Cooking: https://www.amazon.com/Science-Cooking-Physics-Homemade-Cuis...

The first chapter talks about how aroma is a component of flavor and you can use this test to identify if your ingredients are giving you taste (tongue) or aroma molecules (nose)

I agree that people complaining about the higher tax brackets are oblivious at best, but I'll add that there's no income test to post here. I feel like I do OK (especially given that I have a job that doesn't require the sale of my soul), but it's far from 500K lol.
Sure, but ignoring doesn't solve the problem of signalling channel saturation – if there is something to ignore, it means that some scarce resource has already been consumed.

That's fine if you need to tell a few terrestrial clients to go away every few minutes or so (until they finally give up until the next reboot or so), but I could imagine it being much more tricky when you're talking about cell sizes with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers.

> wouldn't this primarily be activated in very desolate areas?

It would be enabled globally (to fill in coverage gaps etc), I'd assume – and even in very remote areas, you might easily have a sizeable number of devices per square kilometer. A typical cell size (for Iridum, as an example) is 250 miles of diameter – that's the area of New York state! And that's not even considering overlaps of remote and densely populated areas.

It’s a meme phrase, which The Culture series actually fits extremely well. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/fully-automated-luxu...

Basically the phrase humorously sums up explorations of what happens when everything is so advanced that among other things, someone can just flippantly choose however they want their body to be. Which means lots of things that we intuitively consider as static go right out the airlock.
I can't. I forgot which stackoverflow comment or blog post mentioned it, but unquoted lowercase identifiers are the most portable and resilient naming convention that work across all database dialects. You don't have to worry about whether your database preserves case, folds everything to uppercase (Oracle) or folds everything to lowercase (Postgres) if you only stick with unquoted lowercase identifiers, and your SQL queries pretty much look the same between all databases as long as you stick with ANSI SQL.

No idea what C-scroll does. Is it same / similar to C-x C-+ / C-x C--? If so, I think it's designed to increase / decrease in steps that would fit into desired resolution... but I'm not 100% sure about it. This is something I never really use outside of situations where I have to present (i.e. show my screen on some large screen for many people to see and the need me to zoom in / out).

I didn't really have problems with this even though I too use a tiling manager (StumpWM).

Thank you for taking me seriously.

From my profile:

Peatlands cover just 3 percent of the planet’s surface but they store about 30 percent of all land-based carbon, or twice as much as all of the world’s forests combined. Coastal wetlands remove atmospheric CO2 up to fifty-five times faster than rain forests.

I'm not downplaying anything. I'm just seeing data that suggests wetlands loss is a really big deal.

Obviously, I can't say what your teacher experienced. But think about this. His brain was going through a traumatic experience of some kind, presumably at least low oxygen and a accumulation of cellular waste products, such as CO2, due to lack of blood flow. After he was resuscitated, his now functioning brain was left to make narrative sense out of what it had experienced.

How much of that was was after the fact reconstruction and how much was actual experience? In the same way, our brain doesn't notice the visual blind spot and just assumes that whatever is there is consistent with its context, even though there is nothing it can experience there.
I think this is a dangerous way to approach the problem. Regardless of whether or not the assertion that the "primary factor is they know how", the underlying cause is distress and hopelessness.

I'm frustrated a bit by how discussions of suicide — with vets as well as others — tends to focus on making the means less available, as if it just solves the problem. That's a solution for society, to wash their hands of addressing the underling problems, and not a solution for the person suffering.

Veterinarians should be in a position where they don't want to commit suicide, regardless of whether they have the means.
Probably both and neither - for example, rather than outright banning things requiring them to be linked to a verified owner would potentially allow some speech without the negatives. A historic comparison might be the way Americans making political donations are required to affirm that they are using their own money without reimbursement to add a legal risk to paying people to flood public debate.

I don’t claim to have the answers, but was just pointing out that the world has changed and we will need different policies.
See, this is the attitude I don't understand. I'm not going around adding extra spaces after your periods; why are you so intent on removing mine? Who appointed you the textual aesthetics police?

This! They even custom-coded their support portal better than those off-the-shelf vendor like Zendesk. I say this as a Zendesk paying customer.

I had an gf who was bipolar and suffering from PTSD and was on meds for those conditions and also due to previous suicide attempts.

I remember one conversation after we had broken up when she told me how depressed she had been and I said, "well at least you haven't offed yourself."

She smiled a bit and said, "I tried to kill myself three times in the last two months. I guess I'm not very good at it."

Answering the begged question: twenty+ years later and last time I checked she was still alive and well.

> During 5 minutes of the CPR, patients also were repeatedly exposed through the headphone audio to the names of 3 fruits

I think this type of experiment could be harmful to patients.

Human brain consumes oxygen at varied rate. It consumes more oxygen under stress. Natural body reaction is to pass out, to preserve limited oxygen reserves in blood and tissue. Interfering or preventing person from loosing consciousness, will deplete oxygen supply faster, and may cause permanent brain damage sooner.

No disagreement, but fonts obey the "even bad pizza is good pizza" rule. Low skill floor, high skill ceiling. And when it comes to fonts you want be a little distinct because they're part of your brand small idiosyncrasies can add to the charm. And unlike commercial font makers it's likely you don't have to worry about supporting more than a few languages, and odds are
good they share most of their alphabet.
