My great-grandmother and her sister were the last two women who wore the tribal clothing of the tribe I suppose I belong to. That tribe no longer exists; we are all Dutchmen in the nation of the Netherlands now. Is that bad? I don't think so: cultures evolve, humanities' future seems to be aimed towards larger groups, and trying to stick to a tribal structure that would have largely rejected the progress made in the outside world, had they had the chance, would have been a miserable existence. Instead of doing silly dances for tourists I'm a software engineer working for a major space agency, and I'm fine with that. Something unique may have been lost (a language, a clothing style, and a harsh way of life), but so much more has been gained (access to all the world has to offer).

The tribal structures that still exist in many parts of the world aren't really about preserving culture or identity anymore; to me they seem to be mostly about preserving the power of a handful of tribal elders, and upholding discriminatory practices both inside and outside the tribe. Those structures are a relic that wouldn't have survived anyway, European colonists or not, and casting them aside now, and joining the rest of the world in the 21st century is neither shameful nor bad.

Just to be clear: I applaud anyone who wishes to celebrate their culture and their identity, and I think having those preserved enriches our world. But staying within the confines of a preserve, where life is hard and opportunities are few, just because you were born there, makes no sense to me. You can be both proud of your heritage and a citizen of the 21st century.

So the question, then, is this: are tribal entitlements necessary for the preservation of something worthwhile, or are they merely tools to further disadvantage a group that is already severely lacking in opportunities? If it's the first, there is a place for them. If it's the second, it's time they were dismantled.
While not ideal, if websites aren't transactional or on the critical path of business, short, occasional downtime can be tolerable. Facebook used to push fresh PHP code straight to production multiple times per day often with obvious side effects. Who cares? It's just Facebook.
I struggled to come up with a fair definition of nucleus. Indeed, some of these nucleon soups are more like mist than anything. And so my definition is: if a photon can traverse the width of the "nucleus" and the nucleus still exists by the time it gets to the other side, it's a nucleus. If it cannot hold together even that long, it doesn't count.
I'm confused as to why you're bringing up "being cancelled" - it's not relevant to the conversation in the slightest.
> You will probably lose a lot of appetite

This, probably almost any natural food that is not too sweet will work.

Overeating manufactured "food" devoid of nutrition, pumped full of sugar and refined carbs has become the default in the western diet... That a potato-only diet is an improvement highlights just how bad it has become.
Speaking of refunds, has anyone been able to wrap their head around how it's possible that the generous/overused return dynamic has continued to be sustainable? It seems that retailers frankly just don't care about the level of returns, whether it's routinely packing things terribly to make a ball mill that damages items, or playing price games that directly create more returns - eg Amazon's continually volatile prices that encourage clicking buy and then deciding 30 days later, or Home Depot's combo deals that result in half the combo being predictably returned.

At this point I would have thought retailers would have fixed their own shipping processes to pack things so they're less likely to get destroyed. But nope, the best I've found is to break up orders on my end, assuming I don't forget and the shipping minimums allow. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and retailers to start "cracking down" somehow. It seems like the classic Silicon Valley approach where they set up a poor process, planned to make it up on volume, and now have no visibility into the actual problems causing inefficiency. But yet somehow it's still working out financially.

The best I've been able to figure is that price fixing ("minimum advertised price") keeps margins high enough that retailers can eat multiple shipping costs, and retailers have gotten manufacturers to eat the cost of "defective items", creating at least a stable situation (although an inefficient one). But it still boggles my mind, especially seeing the trade in bulk pallets of returned goods, which makes it seem like many new condition resellable items still end up being considered salvage.
I always preferred Joystiq (RIP) to Kotaku, but I'm happy to see more sites moving to this model. I'd much rather just pay writers money so that they give me content than have to wade through ads anymore. And I think it's a model that can work: Defector has been a great successor to Deadspin. Now if only they would do that for the AV Club...
That doesn’t seem to fit with the quote, though. The phrasing “not plausible that every training image used to train Stable Diffusion was copyrighted” makes it pretty explicit, I think, that what is protecting the data-set is the presence of non-copyright images, not the absence of copyright ones.
Ya, OpenAI's naming schemes don't seem very consistent. But my read of the announcement is that gpt-4-1106-preview is the new turbo model.

It's too costly to ship the item back. For small items this is a no brainer, and for very large items as well. There's a sweet spot where the return cost not so high as to kill the profit and the item can still be resold - packaged electronics come to mind.

If I remember correctly you were allowed potatoes with no seasoning. So no butter, salt, pepper etc. The point was for it to basically be boring so that when you eventually have a bit of lettuce or a tomato you can’t help but love it. You no longer need sugar etc to really trigger your senses.

I think you nailed it. This is more than plausible, given Apple's penchant for valuing the packaging of technology (its application) over the sheer horsepower of cutting-edge tech. More performance per power draw would 100% fit with that and enable a lot of applications; Vision, Apple Watch, etc.

It's amazing how often tech media works themselves over.

> I really enjoyed SMTM's "A Chemical Hunger" series[1]. But recently they've gone into weird fad-diet territory with their potato obsession.

I wanted to enjoy that series because exploring alternate factors in obesity is interesting, but the series similarly went into a weird obsession with lithium as an explanation for everything. He almost immediately started ignoring evidence that didn’t fit his theory and obsessively focused on cherry-picked evidence that was favorable to the story he wanted to tell.

Others have posted links to various debunking articles of the series, but the part that made me lose interest was even earlier: He has a section where he acknowledged that caloric intake was up over the same period of increased body weight, but then tried to dismiss this as irrelevant. I can’t take anyone’s writings on obesity seriously if they don’t believe increased caloric intake is correlated with increased obesity.

The series is written in a rationalist style that appeals to many people, but the content and logic within were not very scientific or even representative of the sources he cited at times. It’s a good example of how the right prose can be very convincing.

As I outlined, markets != capitalism. It seems you've wandered far away from my whole point. Free markets, entrepeneurialism are a part of contemporary US capitalism, but they can also exist in systems that are not capitalist.

For a system to be capitalist, it requires additional features, and the most significant of these is the way the rewards of human ventures are distributed (i.e. primarily towards those who invest capital rather than labor or IP in the venture).
I agree 100%.

For example, we could start punishing people who sell drugs with harsh punishments.

It is. I live in NYC and stopped going to CVS late at night because there is such a looter problem in my neighborhood, I can't buy shit at that time. The looters are there with bags ransacking the isles while I wait behind hoping they leave what I came to buy. Sometimes if it's locked then they can't take that but so still have to wait for them being done to go through the isle lol.

I wonder why they keep those stores open sometimes.

You can run 4004 by very low frequency (much lower than specified 500kHz) and it would work OK.

I also had an idea to overclock i4040 more, but even 740kHz was hard to work with, because I had just 200 stm32 ticks per i4040 sub-cycle to do all I/O logic (RAM/ROM interface for i4040).
I actually think we are mostly on the right path, with the greatest exception being the current cost and overhead required to train the very best language models. But we are already seeing smaller, fine-tunable, user-deployable models.

I think (and hope) it'll track a similar trajectory to 3d printing:

1. Expensive systems only approachable to large corporations

2. Lower-cost but affordable as a business expense to cottage industry

3. Affordable to hobbyists, but requiring domain expertise to operate

4. COTS plug and play solutions for the wide audience

Right now we are at (1) with the huge scale LLMs, but scaled models are runnable by hobbyists (2-3) and we are at (4) when it comes to things like image generation and music splitting.
And how much would it cost in terms of delivery time? For me it's really all about it.

Your delivery service costs $1B per year with the current throughput (without considering peaks etc.). Imagine now adding those constraints such as signature: it means that for each package you add another 1-2-3 minutes at least. For 100 packages a day it's almost 2 hours. With a salary of 7$ per hour = 14$ per day just to have signatures. And that's 100 packages, which is probably a joke for a delivery person.

14$ per day = almost 5K per year. Basically 700K is peanuts.

The problem of course starts when everyone believes "oh I am smarter than you, I can also do it". And then you lose not 700K but 50 millions or more.

Another way is to build up your own delivery company, measure performance of the delivery people (with feedback) and fire/sue them when you notice a continuous loss of packages and reward the good ones.
As much as I enjoyed working with the PolarFire team when I worked at SiFive, I have to mention their tools really do suck. The first time I used the Libero tools, it took a week of back and forth w/ support to resolve a license issue. The license activation string that came in the package was just plain wrong and I had to prove to the support people that someone at our firm had actually paid for the board we were using.

Aside from that, the tools were klunky, even compared to Xilinx/AMD Vivado. And as best as I can remember, the free license expired after a year. After that you have to pay money for crappy tools.

While I love the BeagleBone guys, unless you have a budget to purchase tools from MicroChip that you don't get to learn how much the cost of the tool is until a year later, you may want to consider using a FPGA supported by various open source tools (which are, themselves kind of klunky, but at least you're not paying an arm and a leg.)

Yosys + Symbiflow/F4PGA work with the Xilinx/AMD Artix-7 board and iCE40. You may want to pick one of those up if your work-load is FPGA heavy.

The difference is that fad diets are unsustainable from the start. Technically someone could try to continue a diet like this indefinitely if it had sufficient nutrients, but most people will get sick of a fad diet after a while and revert to their prior eating habits.

The difference between a fad diet and a good diet is that a good diet is designed to be sustainable from the start. The goal of a good diet is to reset your eating habits into a healthier set of foods that you can still enjoy and continue eating regularly indefinitely.

Increase conversions and the power of social proof
FOMO - The fear of missing out. FOMO usually include two processes which includes the social perception of missing out which is followed up with the compulsive behaviour to maintain these social connections. It is usually associated with social media usage and relates to the feelings of being able to belong. The same phenomenon can not only be associated with social media but to consumers. When people around you are using certain products there is significant evidence that the individual would purchase the product.

In consumption behaviour, consumerism is often shaped by social motivations as consumers are all trying to strike a balance between sense of belonging, sense of self, needs of independence, and strive for prestige. These motivations influence consumption choices emotionally and behaviourally.

FOMO seems to impact certain personality traits like extraversion, neuroticism, and attachment style. Marketing to consumers overlaps greatly with consumer psychology from the branding, perception from other consumers, reputation, personal attachment, and consistent quality/reliability. If this gets enough traction, I'll post more marketing consumer psychology posts more in-depth with references. I also have my saas fomowidget.com that also includes a suite of products that might be useful. Thank you.

That's sort of how the world works. If you can't defend it (through power and/or political will - you have strong friends that you have a mutually beneficial relationship with) then it's not your land. There's literally no group of people that have lived on some piece of land since the dawn of humanity. In fact there have been untold thousands of groups of people wiped off the earth because another group decided they wanted to live on the land they once lived in.

Indeed. I love Elixir and I even struggle with choice when I don't need much or any server-side functionality.

The BGS (which is an atproto "relay" service) subscribes to all PDS event streams on the entire network, and aggregates and relays them.

This way it's possible to get all network data from a single place (the BGS) rather than having to connect to every PDS, which is simpler for consumers and dramatically reduces the workload of PDS hosts.
