I would like to see a list of costs of these regulations. Lina Khan never mentions it. Again there may be a fundamental lack of rigour that causes her to lose her cases so absolutely.

Yes, you point to another fundamental problem: central planning has a consistent record at making most of the populace poorer. It’s precisely because you don’t know the counterfactual that you should leave decisions to those with knowledge and skin in the game (ie market participants).

If Silicon Valley’s best VCs have a 30% success rate at picking winners, I don’t see how bureaucrats in Washington (whose salaries, modulo election season, aren’t even subject to consumer preferences given that they’re extracted by force from our taxes) feel so confident.

Finally, of course there is a fundamental axiom that is the root of the disagreement. I view government bureaucrats as our servants given we pay their salaries. I would rather consume services with private service providers as I please and involve the government to arbitrate disputes that come up.

PS The UK government did a nice job opening their cable market.
Yeah, fair. For my own failings I still find it disappointing when that happens.

Battle of Talas: Birthplace of the Islamic Golden Age and Tech Exchange
TL;DR:The Battle of Talas in 751 AD, a clash between the Abbasid Caliphate and the Chinese Tang dynasty, was a pivotal event that catalyzed the Islamic Golden Age. It not only altered the regional power dynamics but also led to the transfer of papermaking technology from captured Chinese artisans to the Arab world. This tech transfer ignited a knowledge surge, significantly contributing to Baghdad's emergence as a major intellectual hub, epitomized by the establishment of the House of Wisdom. The battle showcased the interplay of military, cultural, and technological narratives in shaping historical progress, particularly marking an era of intellectual flourishing in the Islamic world.
Yes, relaxed memory semantics are exceedingly difficult to reason about. Hard to believe this is news to the C++ standards committee.

I find the premise of this article confusing, and assume it must be because I’m missing something crucial—obviously Hans Boehm knows what he’s talking about. Why do (opt in!) relaxed semantics need to be fixed?
I don't know what you want me to tell you - but my experience as a recent graduate is reflected below. You may have had a different path but everyone in my training cohort is doing this and passing this down as the standard prep.

Rad Primer Basic 2,173
Qevlar - 2,000
Board vitals - 1300
PhysicsApp - 572

At University of Texas we did this for prep and in fellowship at the University of Washington I checked with their residents and they were doing that too.

Ben White from UTSW gives something like that as road map for study questions (which I already linked to you).

Here's another random perspective that matches mine https://www.nellymd.com/2015/07/american-board-of-radiology-...

> You can make the statement that a lot of work goes into becoming a radiologist without the inaccurate claim that the one exam requires 5000+ practice questions.

I keep providing links and data and you keep providing quotes about the definition of RadPrimer and what exactly it is and how exactly residents are supposed to utilize it - without any deviation. I don't know where you did your training but perhaps you're at a more prestigious institution and the trainees had to prepare less to pass the exam. Maybe you're just that much smarter.
Gentoo was how I was introduced to Linux, too.

A Dutch friend on a filesharing IRC network walked me through an install process on my old laptop, via Skype, throughout an entire evening and some of the night. I remember how we went through one-by-one enabling certain kernel modules and reading the descriptions of what they did.
My CLI is 180-185ms startup time, and about 10-20MB for a complex app (with a runtime dependency).
YMMV with the build and package system depending on your experience. Sheet staying my career writing with JVM languages and then moving to C#, I far prefer MSBuild + NuGet over Maven or Gradle. But I know lots of folks who feel the opposite, so maybe it's just a matter of preference.
It is very possible to make a game that runs like shit in Unreal. Immortals of Aveum comes to mind.

I share your assessment, and have further observed that the financially insecure are over-represented among the get-rich-quick crowd. Rich people are by and large good at not losing money.
Interesting, I've also got a Lodge. I use a low heat with a longer preheat, usually somewhere between a 3 or 4 out of 10 for for I'd say 2-3 minutes or so to preheat (not sure if that's relatively long or not).

Maybe it's the seasoning? I haven't seasoned ours in a long time but the last time I did I used flax seed oil.
I have great success with stainless steel and butter for non-stick when cooking eggs. Never use Teflon.
I don't have that impression. But maybe I'm just in my Sway-bubble :)
I regard concepts as being essentially sensory-motor techniques for regulating animals --- so to not have that system is to not really have concepts.

LLMs model concepts using patterns of text. For example, if I say, "I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow?" i employ my imagination to simulate a scenario -- this simulation is made by taking my concepts of weather, the world outside my door, and so on and combining them to create a "pseudo-sensory-motor reconstruction" of what my experience would be.

This reconstruction has a cognitive dimension (ie., the structure of my raw pseudo-sensory-motor experience as a quasi-logical form) which can be communicated (ie., taking a quasi-logical structuring and making it linguistic) using words that have a symbolic representation.

LLMs, by imitating patterns within this symbolic representation (a distant side effect of thinking) it seems as-if it is thinking with concepts.

But all this shows it that patterns of text can be constructed without using concepts at all.

This is the engineer's trick -- the magic latern. It's important to realise the trick, because the LLM doesnt know what weather is, and is not imagining anything when asked to generate a pattern of text against the prompt, "imagine a scenario where weather..."

Rather it was the humans who wrote its training data that engaged in these acts -- it is their shadows which are replayed by LLMs
I for one would not complain.
So you eat burnt oil every time you cook?
Ultimately all sets of packages are a consensus - either a company says "we only use these versions of these languages and libraries" or it's a whole community. (This honestly beats the laissez faire approach which always blows up somewhere)

It's something companies shoukd consider doing internally as well - this API is supported at this version etc. It's easier to do explicitly than implicitly (large companies usually have internal SLAs and actual written docs)

I think the point I am making is good deprecation is part of good contracts.
Relaxed atomics are not broken. They are not hard to reason about. This proposed "fix" is misguided and reflects a fundamental error made by C++ when defining their memory model. The most informative paper on the subject is probably "improved support for bidirectional fences", https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2008/n26....

There are _two_ different atomic memory models in flight in C++. Relaxed atomic operations are perfect for one and something of a nonsense for the other.

One model involves controlling the order of atomic operations within a thread of execution using memory fences. The fences amount to limiting reordering in store buffers or invalidation queues. This is what we had before the C++ memory model, though the operations were called "volatile" then. It's what the hardware ISAs expose, with varying details on cost of different types of fence. This is where relaxed atomic operations are the right thing. The threads do not "synchronise with" one another.

The second model involves atomic variables that synchronise with one another in different threads. Mechanism unspecified. As far as I can tell this is largely an invention of the C++ committee based on enthusiasm for methods on class instantiations. The paper linked above seems to be the point where this model accepted that it can't express everything it needs to. It's characterised by memory order annotations on methods on variables and wondering what the compiler is going to do with your code.

The "synchronises with" model favoured by C++ can be mechanically translated to the "relaxed with fences" model that the hardware implements. The inverse is not true.

One piece of the puzzle I don't have is _why_ this is the state of the art. Given a straightforward, existing model for describing concurrent programming on mutable state, somehow we've ended up with a much more complicated one pasted on top. Which leads to various costs, including this article.
What? The idea that chess engines have stopped improving is ridiculous. StockFish is continuously improving. And is not just better hardware. For instance, just a couple of years ago StockFish added NNUE. This actually decreased the number of nodes it could look at per second, but the improved algorithm was so much better it bumped it's ELO by another 80 points.

It would be hubris to say "Ok, it kept improving up until last month or so, but now it's perfect."

If it's still improving, that means the current version can be beaten. If it can be beaten, that means we haven't solved it yet.

> No one is able to win a single game vs an engine running on a home PC even if they can use arbitrary amount of computing power to help.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're suggesting, because it's not clear what "arbitrary computing power" means -- are they also running StockFish? If so, we already know that StockFish in better hardware runs better, so this is meaningless in a normal game, but I am guessing you mean with no time limits.

Is your suggestion that StockFish of 2020 will always draw against StockFish of 2023 if they have "unlimited time?"

If so, this seems slightly tautological. Chess is finite, so we have always known that "given enough time" anyone could enumerate all the possibilities. But if we restrict the time to, say, an hour per move, perhaps you'd say that's not "unlimited" enough.

But I'm actually interested. Has anyone tried 2020 StockFish vs 2023 StockFish with huge time allowances?
I'm very familiar with the case, I was saying simply that there were donations to EA-aligned charities
There are way too many variables to control. Genetics, gut bacteria types, types of food consumed, sleep quality, activity levels etc. etc.
That's an absurd question. Do speed limits on the highway mean there's a kill switch for transportation?

Does having a blade guard on a lawnmower mean there's a kill switch in agriculture?

Does having copywrite length codified in law mean there's a kill switch for books?
Well, it awesome and great that you live in such a safe place. That does not change the fact that this type of transport is not safe for occupants.

And cars are not always the cause https://www.reuters.com/article/us-netherlands-bike-accident...
Do you think splitting internet services into separate private commercial and public utility markets might decrease costs, improve quality, and expand access?

As an example, as long as a customer has access to a public option for comparable internet service, private companies would be exempt from "net neutrality" regulation and penalties.

I wasn’t specifically talking about cancer, but in general. Should’ve been more clear.

There are many doctors (Dr.Doug Graham for example) who have slowed or cured serious ailments through fasting. I am not a fan of any religion, but every big religion promotes fasting in some form, more for health reasons than religious. When animals fall sick, they are known to voluntarily and intuitively fast.
The Creator Economy "middle class" does exist
The model LOD issues described in the article can be fixed without changing engine. It's slightly easier to hire Unity devs to work around Unity issues vs hiring Unreal devs because there are many more Unity devs (Unreal has 13% of the market). Plus Unreal takes a 5% royalty fee on all sales, vs a flat fee for using the Unity engine.
NixOS recently introduced "problem" infrastructure to deal with such problems more gracefully and explicitly:

It really depends on your kitchen, and the sort of cooking you do. There's definitely been a trend towards disposable kitchen equipment in the pro kitchens, no longer do you see chefs with carbon steel knives, but cheap stainless knives with plastic handles, plastic cutting boards etc. These are considered consumables, which I find weird, but that's what their world now looks like.

I personally use hard anodised aluminium pans for non-stick duties, and use le creuset pots for lots of stuff, and these last a long time if you take care of them. The non-stick stuff is typically eggs or reheating stuff like soup. I'd guess 10 years from the anodised stuff without much trouble, and more like 50 years for a le creuset (i've got a hand-me-down one from an aunt which was from the 70s).
> [ISPs] should not be able to sell all my DNS queries, monitor all my traffic, scan my internal network from their modems, or give zero ratings to their own bundled streaming apps

Only the last is relevant to net neutrality. From what I can tell, it’s not an issue—streaming is competitive.

Debating net neutrality seems a convenient way to avoid scrutinising the pricing and privacy problems at ISPs. In that sense, it seems more profitable—for the ISPs—to centre the debate around net neutrality versus their actual profit centres.

In summary, I’d much prefer an ISP customer bill of rights, and release of exclusivities granted to ISPs that didn’t meet their ends of the bargains, than this seemingly-performative debate about net neutrality, which is largely about increasing the scope of the FCC’s portfolio than doing anything meaningful for ordinary Americans.
This is everything wrong with both (sweatshop) games and programming!

This is 180 of how people programmed for the older consoles in the most fun and creative ways to squeeze the most out of smaller hardware.

Take a look at this for comparison:

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/09/war-stories-how-crash...

Reminds me of the state of frontend development where you need 8000 tools and dependencies to show even the simplest of things, and i'm not surprised they bundle React for the menus.

I absolutely hate this way of doing things, because for me all art, all engineering, all creativity is about boundaries, dogmas, and squeezing and optimising the hell out of your _elegant_ systems.

I mean even in my small webgl/threejs projects the fun part was getting every last bit of eye candy out of the smallest file sizes i could, simplifying geometry, lowering resolution, while maintaining great looks.

100k vertice log piles and hundreds of people with teeth?

Optimisations like this aren't even hard or time consuming (and they are fun) - can anyone clue me in on why you ship your stuff in this state - what happens in a studio like this? Is it 100% shitty work conditions? How could single devs and small studios create relatively large games with love 20 years ago for small money?
Gamergate, to a certain extent, was indeed about ethics in game journalism. It just got hijacked into culture war bullshit like everything else.

It’s not just donations. It’s living your entire life according to “expected value”, or what the maximum “utility” units (utils) can be created through every action and relationship. It’s an extremely inhuman way of living that goes against ethical norms established since the dawn of civilization. Effective altruists are dangerous and you should not be friends with them, hire them, or associate with them at all if you possibly can. They put your wealth and life at risk.
I hope these issues come from the game being rushed and not from a lack of rendering expertise.

Luckily it seems like there are pretty simple reasons for the poor performance so I'm hopeful they can at least do something even if they don't have a ton of rendering expertise.
This article misrepresents what EA is about, and unfairly links SBF's criminal behavior to that philosophy.

SBF is a numerically oriented crook.

EA is about attempting to measure and compare different philanthropic approaches in order to optimize where we spend our money, effort and time to benefit humanity. The author incorrectly implies that EA isn't concerned with ethics, or that EA will justify any means to achieve some perceived benefit - but this is the opposite of true. Ethical and moral behavior are required by EA, and in fact are an important part of the utility measured for some philanthropic activity. That is, ethics and morals are worthy goals (or aspects of worthy goals) for EA in and of themselves.

Yeah, and city builders have a very unique set of constraints that would prove to be a misfit for most modern off the shelf engines,

And remember, despite Epic's efforts, UE is still a first/third person engine at it's core. I wouldn't nr surprised if the challenges using Unreal would be at least as great if they had chosen that.

Cast iron is fantastic for eggs. After you season it well and use it for a bit it's almost as non-stick as a teflon pan. There's videos of well seasoned pans cooking eggs without oil. You can throw metal utensils at it, and just wipe it down with some oil when you're done. Holds heat well, sears well, goes into the oven. If you're only going to have two pieces of cookware, a stainless stock pot and lodge 10" skillet is all you really need. Best of all if you mess up, you can just take the seasoning off and re-do it. It will outlast your grandchildren.
Afaik Getty's case is strong against stability because they were dumb enough not to remove the water marks before training so now their model recreates their watermark, which is an infringement. Also let's not pretend openai licensed their dataset from all the stock image sites they scraped. The main reason they have a deal with Shutterstock is probably easy access and also Shutterstock partnered up with openai for ai tech to sell on their website.
I have nothing to back this up with* but my understanding is that simple carbohydrates like sugar are more readily converted to bodily fat. Dietary fat is digested and processed by the body into component parts that are less readily converted into bodily fat. It's not like your body just takes fat and stores it directly in your love handles unmodified.

I have a growing concern that by engaging with this argument we are making it more acceptable. It's not OK to steal from "rich people". It's not OK to blame everything on the 1%. Online platforms are filled with garbage about the 1%, and most posters are Americans, all of whom actually are in this 1% globally.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. The relevant time is the ~4y period from 2018 to 2022 while he was running an obvious fraud and totally insane, not the few weeks between the run, collapse, and formal arrest. If you think he only looked bad from late 2022, that's just more proof you EAs are dumb as rocks.
