I recall gold flake vodka sold in random shops in Budapest years ago too, but it was considered a premium product.

Gold leaf is stupid cheap, but it still carries a "valuable" aura.

When Gualtiero Marchesi, the most influential Italian chef of last century, used gold leaf with saffron risotto he made it to play with colors and presentation, but most likely he also aimed at making it feel more "precious".

We're all creatures of irrationality.

I immersed myself in Competitive Programming this year and I'm very glad I did. I like it a lot for a couple of reasons:

It is a very nice challenge/sport. The skill ceiling is high but there are many high quality resources online. The rating systems on competitive websites makes seeing your improvement very rewarding.

It serves as an endless source of problem solving "ingenuity". Many problems have extremely elegant solutions. I find it especially satisfying to find subtle ideas/intuitions from one problem being applicable to another one.
I had a Minidisc player as well, and I know exactly what you mean. In my view, these devices were the pinnacle of Japanese industrial design broadly, and Sony Design Center specifically. The rituals around using them were the digital equivalent to playing a record.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I merely said I find it annoying. Am I not allowed to reflect on what I find annoying? And yes, I do find certain accents annoying too, but my feeling is it's much harder to change one's accent than it is to not do vocal fry. I can't change my accent at will, but I can certainly do vocal fry.
So what do we call it when "the best they can" is not very good or is actively harmful? Do you mean to imply that intention factors into outcomes?
You think that, I think that, and it's the tiny bits of creativity that delight me.

It's illegal to shoot down a drone; second amendment issues aren't relevant. Even if the drone is flying over your property, it's still considered an aircraft by the FAA and homeowners don't own the airspace above their property.

Not all benefit is quantifiable. There's that anecdote about the guy who wasn't a superstar by metrics but sat with all the high performers at lunch and gave them useful info and asked the right questions to help them achieve great things. I think it was Nyquist at Bell Labs?
I thought it was obvious.

But it poses a larger question: OSS can be used for war and pedophilia.

It is very refreshing and surprising compared to cloud platforms being adamant that they ought to deplatform people who hold even slightly wrong views.

Is it the same programmers holding very different philosophical views?
No, it doesn't pick a single token based on a set of inputs. It predicts a probability distribution for the next token given the previous tokens. That's why techniques like beam search and Viterbi work so well - you don't have to commit to the next token at each step.

And temperature (what I assume you mean by "randomness injected") isn't "window dressing," it fundamentally gives better results because LMs model probability distributions. You'll get crappy results with any probability model if you run them purely greedily.

And you're also neglecting non-causal LMs (like BERT, and encoders in general), which don't predict the next token in a series, but instead predict previous masked tokens.

You're conflating how LLMs are used for generation with what LLMs are, and that's just plain wrong. They're not trained autoregressively at all! To repeat, the generation mechanism is simply not part of the LLM. The LLM is a probability model; the generator just uses that model. It's not "breaking it" to use a different generation strategy than greedy autoregression, since they're not even trained a token at a time.
To my mind, all discussions about code design boil down to the reduction of cognitive load (CL).

“Cognitive load refers to the amount of effort that is exerted or required while reasoning and thinking. Any mental process, from memory to perception to language, creates a cognitive load because it requires energy and effort. When cognitive load is high, thought processes are potentially interfered with. To the UX designer, a common goal when designing interfaces would be to keep users’ cognitive load to a minimum.”

(https://speakerdeck.com/fedepaol/reducing-cognitive-load-yet...)

In this context, "users" can be substituted with "other developers". Writing low-CL code is a constant balancing act and, like good UX design, when it works the nuances are invisible and therefore hard to learn from.

So I appreciate the OP for the article even if we can quibble about some of the points.

There are a lot of these. Nowadays, gamma flows are discussed a lot in public spaces. Ignoring most of the topic, combining options expiry dates with typical fund rebalancing dates is simple. (Buy in the last week of the month, basically.)

Historically, April, July, November are the best, while January, June and September are the worst. "Sell in may" and go away used to be a common phrase too.

But if you are purely DCAing, such points don't make much sense. Following the interest rate cycle or business cycle is straight forward, or cycles in your own industry. Oil, shipping and microprocessor companies for example forecast years out when their profitable and unprofitable periods will be, so you can move your capital in and out for much higher performance.
I guess one could use the name of the population (Norse? Danes?) or the specific deity or something associated with it.

E.g. we refer to Greek or Roman temples rather than Pagan ones. We also say Apollo's Temple, or Solomon's temple. I guess "pagan" is a fallback for lack of more precise names.

(I didn't notice it in the title at all until GP's comment, I just realized now this is an interesting oddity)
I am a lay person. To me, I understand a trained model describes transitions from one symbol to the next with probabilities between nodes. There is a structure to this graph — after all if there weren’t then training would be impossible — but this structure is as if it is all written on one sheet of paper with the definitions of each node all inked on top of each other in differed colors.

This research (and it’s parent and sibling papers, from the LW article) seem to be about picking out those colored graph components from the floating point soup?

Ask the people who interview you what they work on and why, then avoid the ones where the "why" doesn't connect back to something useful.

You don't, not immediately. In the end you can only look at the results over the medium/long term.
Of course there are plenty of bad interactions. And yes, we'll remember and weight the bad long after we forget the good.

If you see life as a zero sum game, then you are primed to distrust everyone and everything. This mistrust is often well-placed. The inability to separate good suggestions from bad ones though is a flaw.

Some can be objectively good, perhaps more easily seen by a neutral outsider, and yet still be fought against. Because if we're not fighting then we're fools?

No, you aren't, and it isn't vocal fry. Overtone singing is a distinct technique in Tuvan throat singing, and comparing it to a bandpass filter is accurate — as a whole, Tuvan throat singing is a set of techniques designed to induce vocal sounds with extremely rich harmonics, which can then be modulated and selected for by shaping the mouth.

What you're thinking of is called "Kargyraa", a particular subset of Tuvan techniques that involves singing with the vocal cords as normal, but also tightening the voicebox such that your "false vocal cords" (some flaps somewhere in your throat) are struck at a frequency an octave below the sung note — for every full cycle your vocal cords complete, the false vocal cords complete half of 1. It creates a rich sound which can be useful for the "bandpass" technique, but is fundamentally something different.

Take this with a small grain of salt, I came to this technique through the modern beatboxing community who independently discovered it as the standard "throat bass" and only bothered researching the Tuvan equivalent a long time ago.

There is a bass singing technique called "subharmonics" that uses something similar (identical?) to vocal fry to create interference with a sung note for a similar effect.
I don’t why people keep bizarre metaphors which make little as id that somehow reinforces their point.

Fentanyl and knives are not quite the same (I hope I don’t have to try and explain why).

More seriously though all those issues you mentioned are caused by flaws in the enforcement mechanism. Addressing them directly seems like a better idea than full legalization.

As flawed as the current situation is how exactly would legalization of hard drugs improve it or be a net benefit for the society?

That's not how it works. You don't get to pull out of your ass that a random career is dishonorable and pretend that it's everyone else's responsibility to fix your unsubstantiated accusation.

One fast acting insulin per meal and one long term insulin a day, 4 at minimum if you eat 3 meals. Most of us use insulin pumps where we can get insulin any time we want.
> At the same time, I've known a few company owners long time ago who were just BEGGING their managers to tell them the problems exactly as they are, swore on their lives they will not fire the managers for bringing them bad news (and made contracts that made sure of it in no uncertain terms)... and yet all of the managers below those people were sycophant yes-men.

Contracts are insufficient here. A contract doesn't prevent my boss from being unhappy with me and making my life miserable. A contract does not ensure promotion. As an employee, there is no upside for risk, making any risk unacceptable.

Yes, seeing the world as a zero sum game leads to detrimental behaviour.

There are of course lots of zero-sum situations. Equally there are lots of mutually beneficial opportunities. Ironically those who can't see those opportunities ultimately end up losing, which reinforces the zero-sum world-view.
DRY also removes an easy opportunity to expose patterns which are things that people are incredibly good at recognising and internalising. I used to religiously apply DRY but now I prefer to leave repetition in unless the git log shows changes being applied to the repeated sections.

The article says it will "diffuse away" which implies they just let it escape the device. It'll then move through the tissue / fluids, reach the blood and eventually be breathed out. I did a quick google search to see if we already had some level of hydrogen gas in our body.

It seems that bacteria in the human gut already produce some hydrogen gas and that breath contains measurable levels of it[0]. This was news to me, but means that dumping a tiny amount of H2 into the body is probably fine.

The size of the screws are not the same.

In many cases I can easily see how they could've designed things such that far fewer sizes were necessary, but they don't. I do wonder if it's an early form of "anti-right-to-repair" obfuscation? For some reason, I've noticed this "design quirk" far more in various import products than domestic ones.

It's also interesting to read statements like this:

The DSP and control IC's in new Sony recorders e.g. MZ-R90/91 cannot be removed from the board due to a packaging design in which the pins are mounted under the chips and cannot be accessed for de-soldering. When these chips malfunction they are impossible to replace and the whole electronic board must be replaced at considerable expense.

...and then realise that, 23 years later, a sub-$50 hot air station can easily do that work (I'm assuming it's referring to BGA packages.)
Either you misunderstood my comment or you're deliberately interpreting it in a way that is easier to argue against. In no place do I argue that we should be importing the "concept of caste".
Well, I live in Bulgaria which is nothing like the US. Country wasn't built for cars at all, especially the cities. Urban sprawl is nonexistent hete. And yet, there are more cars than people. The air is barely breathable, sidewalks are used for parking lots. It's been like that for decades and getting worse. Our public transportation is quite good.

Cars and cars culture made life here horrible but the masses want more cars.

Google Earth view of Taiwan.[1] Spend some time looking at the geography.

- Taiwan is only about 100km from the mainland.

- Almost all the development in Taiwan is on the west coast, facing China.

- The developed strip is only 10-20km deep.

- The middle of the island is a north-south mountain range.

This was a good defensive situation until China built large numbers of truck-mounted anti ship missiles with more than enough range to cross the Taiwan strait, and a large number of warships able to operate over that range.

> What would it mean for code to be semantically correct while containing type errors? It would probably mean that the code is not in fact semantically correct because some semantic edge cases are not covered by the tests.

It can also mean that the code has incorrect subprograms, but that the program as a whole is protected from them by some hard to analyze condition. As an extreme example, one of these two programs "works":

if goldbachConjectureCounterexampleExists() then print("Hello world!") else launchMissiles()

if goldbachConjectureCounterexampleDoesNotExist() then print("Hello world!") else launchMissiles()

but I don't know which and neither does the compiler. Rejecting them is a feature, not a bug.
Hydrogen in the body is not normally a problem. It's such a light gas that it diffuses out the lungs readily, if it's in diatomic form, and your body has good mechanisms for dealing with ionized hydrogen already.

Most people's gut already produces hydrogen (normal levels at or below 16ppm in breath)

I was once at a conference with multiple game developers. My background is that I learned myself programming at a young age. I was also good at school so I completed a Masters degree in CS.

Another guy in the group was also a game developer, but never studied further. Someone labeled this person as a "self-made man". Which I found weird at the time, because I also put in the "self-made" work to get my Masters degree.

It's basically a concept of whatever you want to make of it. If people enjoy labeling themselves or others as "self-made", I have no problem with that. For me it holds no value at all. And for Arnold, it feels offensive because he realizes he wouldn't have the success without the support he got from the people around him.

Every success is made up of a part that you did, and a part that others did. And the part that others did will always be way bigger than your part. Shoulders of giants and all that.
The main charge against him seems to be possession of a firearm, though.

Before being on an insulin pump, my wife would be injecting 1-2 times a day with long acting insulin (to manage background levels) and then at least 3 times a day with food - not just meals, snacks too (and if levels running high). So realistically, 8-10 times a day would not be uncommon.

That’s after 3-5 times a day finger pricks too.

Now, she just has the pain of the libre once a fortnight and pump every few days (along with finger pricks when the libre is out).

I do think that it would be useful for the community at large to move onto `&` more (as that is what `|>` actually is), together with `>>>` for forward function composition. Certainly I think it flows better with the rest of the language, which is predominantly read left-to-right and downwards.
With cloud you can have less staff, but you need to pay more per headcount as they need to know how to manage tens if not hundreds of different services.

Traditional on-prem has silos where the DBA just knows databases and their salary is capped because of that.

That guy wasn't alone in claims about extremely early finds in Japan, he was part of a section of society which believed that the Japanese people were unique and different from everybody else.
