Pretty sure this is best read as an alternative to Hydrogen for the "future renewable energy will be plentiful, but sometimes we still need higher energy density".

It clearly wins by one measure (it's easier to make it a liquid, which is easier to handle than a gas), but I'm not enough of a chemist to really understand the table in the link downthread for how it compares by other measures.
I agree that the problem is identifying the machine, not its existence.
> then you’re referring to the “shuffle-radio”

No, recommendation systems, like Spotify uses, uses crowdsourcing and song analysis to drive the "radio". You can make "song radio" that has the same style/feeling as a song, artist, or genre.
I've been to the one in Dublin. I would not return - it's a conference for grifters to bullshit other grifters. Absolute waste of time. A lot of it is "pay to play", too, so the authenticity of everything must be questioned.
It means packets may be dropped, usually due to congestion.
Adding to the above, in the 1980s and 1990s it was not uncommon to interface and write code for chips that were 12 bit and 24 bit based (instrumentation accumulators for example, "cheapest sufficient" chips for particular jobs, etc).

Today you can still work with (say) TI DSP chips that spit complex FFT pipelines results once per cycle and have absolutely no 8-bit hardware addressing or masking abilities as they're lean mean RISC optimised machines for pure 32 or 64 bit floating point operations.

They have C compilers and CHAR_BIT==32 (or 64).
How to build your RAG application from scratch with Byzer-SQL
I wrote an article that introduces how to build your RAG application from scratch. This article will teach you how to use SQL-like statements to initiate an embedding model, a large language model, and a retrieval system.

It also guides you on using SQL for data preprocessing, such as tokenization and vectorization, and utilizing SQL for post-processing the recall dataset, like shortening the recall results using large language model.

Finally, it enables large language model to answer user queries based on these results.

In the end, we also discuss how to access the models and retrieval system through a REST API, allowing you to quickly integrate the capabilities of large language model and retrieval into your own business systems.
Just imagine how great things would be with two wives.

What you are saying makes perfect sense in the context of language learning. I also found spaced repetition, Anki etc to be extremely effective for that purpose.

My point here is rather that this approach will not work with mathematics, simply because unlike language learning, which is mostly about acquiring and memorizing large amounts of simple X to Y mapping, mathematics has much less to do with memorization and more to do with building mental framework and placing new knowledge in appropriate places with in.
> overly smooth output(which weirdly people seem to like)

A pet peeve of mine as well. The over-processed look is something I can't get behind. Especially recently on TikTok, users apply a very strong smoothing filter to film footage sometimes, like an denoise turned up to 11.

This is, effectively, what the recommendation systems do. They suggest songs/artists that users with similar tastes liked, and songs with similar styles (there's deep analysis/categorization of the sound of the song).

I prefer an automated process, rather than clicking about, navigating lists. It's ok that this is my preference.
I've got REITs. I've got pension investment. I've got a house I'm getting interest off of, I've got stock, both Mexican and US (TQQQ and chill!), and I work at a company earning enough to HAVE to go into the Mexican IRS portal do do my taxes "manually" (I.e. my employer cannot do it for me).

With all of that, I just get into SAT page, ask it to fill up everything with the data they already collected, review it, and agree on the $$$ they will give me back (yay mortage!).

It CAN be that simple. that's what systems are for: to automate complex processes. Computers excellent at it.

This is not optimistic about advancing technology for the purposes of bettering the human condition. So the title is a bit misleading.

Words have meanings and we should adhere to them so communication does not break down into rhetoric.

It focuses on the social circumstances, or “human systems” for which it recommends re-engineering human societies to achieve a variety of goals.

It advocates for non-market economic systems, of which the only currently extant examples we have are socialist.

It advocates for slowing technological development to ease unspecified existential risks.

It offers that engineers can essentially make an inevitable societal decline a little bit less bad.

As much as Marc’s essay was a caricature of a considered techno-optimist position, this is the caricature of the inverse.
Their plugin system is interesting, they embedded a V8 engine to run JavaScript to then make some api calls to the various platforms. I am 99% sure this is against each platform ToS and that they will get sued by Twitch, YouTube, etc. Especially since they are asking people to pay. But I wish they good luck!
My CEO just announced this strategy. Layoffs are to begin...soonish? Maybe next week? Up to the end of 2024. Need to chop $$$X from the budget.

Which is to say, assuming you are not actively looking for the exit door, why even bother to do your job? At-will employment and all that, but it is an entirely different thing if the company has announced they have a fixed dollar expense target to hit.

Layoffs have always had a random component to them (I know brilliant people shown the door, yet worthless mouth-breathers who can dodge any bullet). Now we are told to potentially hang on for a year, knowing the axes could strike at anytime to make sure management hits their blood quota?

Needless to say, I expect productivity to be astounding for the foreseeable future.
I would rate all 3 primary ones a success.(and, IIRC 1 had a full-time narrator the entire time, and one had one for a decade.) I'm a fan of the take that the book focused on Nell, but you could read 2 other versions, focusing on Fiona and Elizabeth respectively, that would be as interesting.
My god, their "Sustainability" section is gross.

All the things they're suggesting are essentially programs to figure out, sustainability, and not at all actually programs that implement it.

'We're gonna have so many conversations at company-paid dinners about how we could make our business less environmentally-damaging! Aren't we great!? Please clap.'

The metrics one in particular is even more gross, because

> "This work will enable an apples-to-apples data-driven approach to assess the best approaches to help achieve our shared goals."

is just saying that they don't accept current sustainability methods as being 'fair' enough to them- not "apples-to-apples" comparisons- to allow them to consume more and emit more than others like they think they should be entitled to, just because they're larger.

Like, no, businesses do not have some inherent right to exist. If your business cannot exist without causing harm, no one has to allow you a 'reasonable' or 'fair' amount of harm to do as a baseline.
Ethernet, unlike, say, Infiniband, doesn't promise things will get where you sent them just because it didn't error initially, so other protocols handle this at higher levels to notice the failure cases.*

For an example of what this means, try setting your MTU above the limit, and watch the raw traffic.

This simplistic, wrong (and juvenile) reasoning is the caricature of the tech bubble bursting again.

> Another random example is HTTP/3, which is basically the "What's best for Google" protocol.

HTTP/2 is that. The version 3 is... quite great, and not really originary from there.

And gRPC is some self-contained thing that doesn't bother anybody.

I do really agree with your point. But those examples are bad, and yet another non-standard cloud service isn't also a good example.
Just goes to show that even Google over-leveraged on hiring and is shutting down products left, right and center. The AI race to zero is not helping them at all as well as the anti-trust trial of the decade.

They will survive, but broken up.

So more layoffs to come, unfortunately from the correction of the zero interest rate phenomenon with decades long QE all coming to an end.
I don’t understand networking all that well. Is it interesting that the telcos and non-tech companies are moving away from specialized hardware toward software defined networks while the hyperscalers are using hardware acceleration?
They did change. It was very progressive at first but TJ is now very different:

For example, they rotate in new products very often now (and cancel old standbys) - even lots of experimental products (kinda have to with the volume of new products). Lots of these new products are snacks or sweets kinds of things. Many of the new products obviously will not stay on the shelf for the long term.

For another, at my regional stores they have also stopped offering two kinds of ripe kiwis (by the 1, by the 5-6 / plain, organic). There is now one kind and it's not ripe. The "not ripe" was the end of me buying kiwis at TJ. Shockingly, my local Safeway has started carrying ripe kiwis.

For me, they have become more like safeway in how less usable they are.
This seems to be as open as proprietary game engines as no mention of model license was present in the paper, code, model card. I wonder whether their incorrect and misleading use of "open" will be caught during peer review.

Maybe the authors also believe that Windows is open. Its source code is also publicly available after all.

If you just memorized the proofs, but cannot actually recreate them, it means that you did not actually learn it, and the perfect score on the exam doesn’t matter. The point of learning mathematics is to be able to transfer this skill into new domains, not to just regurgitate it.
A percentage always reflects a ratio between a quantity and another reference quantity. When you say a value is 6 percent higher, you are saying it went from X to (X + X*(6/100)) = (X*106/100) = 106% of the value you had before (whatever it was).

When you say it is 6 percentage points higher it means you had a percentage Y% and it is now (Y+6)%, a value which cannot be determined unless you know Y, never mind the reference absolute value it relates to.

In this particular case you can say it went from 7% to 13.2%, so if you ignore "%" as the unit the actual change is from 7 to 13.2; a ((13.2-7)/7) ≈ 0.8857 = 88% change. Had the original percentage been say 67%, a 6.2 p.p. change would have increased the percentage to 73.2%; a much smaller ((73.2-67)/67) ≈ 0.0925 = 9% change.

Had the change been "six percent of seven percent", the new value would be 7+7*(6/100) = 7.42 (percent).
I am sure this doesn’t solve this though. It’s hard question to answer on individual basis, require some complex logic, and for sure some coding. You won’t be able to solve this with a “Pricing Stack”.

Unfortunately, pricing is unsexy, complex, full unknowns, no easily testable, and odd.
But you still can’t even just add them to your library in Spotify, you have to put them in playlists, and then download that playlist on your phone, and then they’ll be on your phone. At least that was the system last I used it
You are correct in general. Lossy = no guarantee mechanism / state-based acceptance; it’s handled by a higher level proto (tcp).

You're mischaracterizing what I was talking about: I was talking about the general case of a hard-reset default password that is user-configurable.

I don't care about Cisco, so they can continue footgunning themselves in obviously stupid ways. It sounds like such a Cisco user should or must have an ability to be disabled. If not, that's fucking moronic. But really, what kind of morons put what should be their internal management network on the fucking internet and don't have TACACS+?

Yes, yes - it looks like the Giant Evil Patriarchy is yet again telling lies about women's abilities and participation in higher-status, male-dominated activities.

OTOH - notice the longer-term advantages, for most historical agrarian societies, of pushing a "heroic male hunter" stereotype. If warfare is all-too-common, losing wars is generally disasterous, and you can convince your males (especially the younger and more aggressive ones, who tend to cause a lot of trouble at home) to zealously fight for your society - that may be your best-case use of human resources. The wiser heads know that, if push comes to shove, the women can and will do whatever is needed. So if ~~30% of the society's males get killed off in some big war every few decades, that's actually quite survivable. Vs. a similar fraction of the females getting killed off would be a real disaster.
Maybe it's regression to the mean? Perhaps the second day 'feels' more lazy because you did so much the last day, so that when you return to your baseline, you feel as if you haven't done anything in comparison.

This could be proven/disproven with some metrics about your average productivity and productivity on 'lazy' days.
Maybe I misremember but I thought they were credited. Now I need to rewatch the entire series to double check :)

I mean the time to be upset about being recorded in public was before nearly every square inch of (populated) western civilization had a security camera pointed at it. You can go to pretty much any random place in any major US city and would be able to find a camera recording you. Until we agree to start tearing that all that down I'm not sure what the point of being upset about this is.

Secure is relative here. In this case, it would exist in one additional place (besides your possession) if the whole key was stored on the document.

You can also break up keys into multiple parts, such that you need N pieces of M total to recover the key. e.g. N = 2, M = 3: you derive three subkeys, two of which are needed to recover the key. Or, you could require the key stored in the will, plus any number of other keys for recovery.

Cryptographers have spent a long time doing math to make these kinds of key systems possible. I've gone down many a wikipedia rabbithole in the past about such problems.
Hallucinogen is listed under "goa trance", which seems like a reasonable place for it. Shpongle is downtempo, so not really psytrance, despite the goa flavor.
I don't have numbers like this well-researched response, but apparently neglected children have higher odds of being diagnosed with ADHD, which is seen through the very high occurrence of ADHD and similar in children who entered foster care at very young ages (in this case, younger than 5 years, well before ADHD is diagnosed). This elevated risk of ADHD apparently doesn't show itself in children put in foster care at later ages.

The specific symptom they were looking at in what I was reading, was how people with ADHD easily walk away from things (friends, family, etc.), never to return. Basically a lot of kids attempt to run away, but people with ADHD are far less likely to return if they succeed in "getting away".

The article was relating having lived the earliest part of their lives being pushed away, to the ability to more easily separate and push everyone away permanently later in life (which they referred to as "shutting down"), and the possibility that ADHD itself might be a coping and survival mechanism.

Libertarians who want to pay taxes.. Now there's a powerful lobby. Have you considered starting a think tank with your political acumen lol
Translation: "limited city use in [selected] cities" seems to mean:

- no driving on freeway with passengers (that alone is a huge limitation. You couldn't get to most major airports (in any sensible time) under that limitation. Add in trucks, rush-hour, ripple congestion, lane-splitting motorcyclists.) But presumably also, Waymo and Cruise don't want to pick an all-out war with human drivers working for Uber. Not yet.

- if a driverless car gets confused or can't handle a situation on a city street, it can slow and stop completely and block traffic (and wait for emergency responders to intervene, or wait minutes/hours for remote human driver to override), which is "merely" an annoyance to locals. Whereas doing that on a freeway could injure or kill large numbers of people.

- "selected cities" seems to currently only be southwestern and southern US (SF, PHX, LA, AUS), warm and mostly clear skies, nothing regularly getting near a bad freeze or with bad rain/ snow/ slush/ storms/ gusts/ visibility/ unpredictable ice and skidding [0].

- only cities with well-maintained signage, roads, road markings which can be imaged reliably etc. This is an implicit limit on the locality's income and tax base.

- the recent Cruise secondary incident (near-fatality from a hit-and-run caused by a human-driven car) in SF and other incidents with pedestrians, cyclists and human drivers. "Just fix a few minor issues around the edges" will have a different meaning if you're a pedestrian, cyclist or transit user near a high-traffic street. This could easily become a political issue in some localities. Or maybe driverless will only be allowed in bus lanes or certain lanes of certain streets, or at certain times of day, or not near school pickup/dropoff, or through residential areas (like in 2011 when there were deaths of pedestrians in East Palo Alto residential areas due to drivers rat-running, exacerbated by the rush-hour to Facebook and on 101[1]).

For explicitness Google uses stubby which shares a lot of interface level commonality with gRPC but there's differences at a runtime level. Nobody is slinging json or soap around Google data centers.
I think the difference is that in a video game you are in one location only at any given moment and things travel only forward in time. We can view from any location at any time in volumetric video.
