>Except that the vast majority of that money was invested for pump & dump ICOs. They were able to make back their investments in record time by stealing from fools.

Many VCs have had significant token holdings for years, so they are invested long term.

>There isn't any real legal uncertainty, except for not being able to use money laundering tumblers, though.

There is substantial legal uncertainty, with everything ranging from US senators publishing open letters calling for banks to be investigated for crypto associations [1], to major social media companies canceling very large token projects [2], with one of the two main concerns raised being an "evolving regulatory environment" (which in all likelihood is a reference to the recent very hostile regulatory approach the SEC has taken toward all crypto tokens) [3], to privacy technology being sanctioned.

>This already exists with banks and credit cards.

That is already completely wrong, but at least there is a pretense of respecting privacy rights, as the mandates are imposed only on trusted third party intermediaries, and not participants in peer-to-peer transactions.

>but those are all good things in general for society while still allowing these private organizations to provide you privacy.

That takes privacy away from people, so it is not a good thing.

>Even using tumblers, if you were to use a wallet for legitimate transactions, it wouldn't take much effort to unmask you.

Transaction encryption would make cryptocurrency private enough mass-consumer use. It would also preclude dragnet surveillance, as significant analysis is required to unmask a target who is using it.

Yes, indeed. But perhaps not the way you meant it.
But the interpretation of the journalist is the issue here. Comparing a cost optimized part (TPU v5e) against a performance optimized part (H100) and deciding that this makes Google "behind" is just incorrect.

TL;DR:

- disagreeing and being offended aren't on the same level
- getting offended is a good thing, it shows you care deeply about an issue, you should do it more
- behaving like and ass***e because you're offended is not ok

> Have you looked at for instance Khan Academy's Grant Sanderson (aka 3Blue1Brown) Math videos?

I have. I went through Khan Academy, Brilliant and 3Blue1Brown. After spending more than 100s of hours I started getting the feeling that these are all good for elementary level math.

But for any serious math (think real analysis, complex analysis, group theory and beyond), all these platforms did was leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling of having learned something cool but in reality that warm fuzzy feeling was not good enough for solving actual exercises that come in textbooks or really deeply understand the material.

I've given up on these online learning media. Back to textbooks. The difference is like night and day.

Mmmh yeah, it's a little more than that. He suggest that being offended is OK, while taking unreasonable action because of said offense is not acceptable.
Oh yes it does ha ha. As my bio says I'm a furry so I've been experimenting with ML participants for spicier variants of role play games and even GPT3.5 performs very well. Could probably slice up some examples if I needed to but they are very NSFW/intensely hackernews unfriendly.

Social status is positional and follows arms race dynamics. Everyone would have more money and nobody would suffer worse ring-positional-status if everyone spent proportionately less.

Also, there is a deep body of economics and psychology literature describing how individual spending decisions are sometimes suboptimal in predictable ways, particularly that we under-value experiential purchases.

It doesn't contradict general "live and let live" principles to think that cultural emphasis on positional goods is bad, nor that individuals might be better off if they made different consumption choices.

Don't underestimate the learning commitment it takes to learn react. Learning the basics of react and its component architecture is one thing, learning all the tricks and gotchas related to hooks, accidental re-renders, accidental no-renders, etc takes time.

Throw in the usual pile of libraries used with any larger react app and it can easily take months to really get moving.

What we did to avoid that bottleneck was just turn off the prettier eslint rule in CI and just run the `prettier --check` command they recommend in their docs.

We also have it set to only run in changed files which helps a lot.

We generally don't link pre-commit hooks for standards though, hence the CI focus. Too easy to circumvent, and I'd rather pay for an external machine to check it when it matters (pre-merge by doing it on PR commits) than block my devs when it doesn't (every time they commit to a non-main branch).
French is one of the most famous translation and is known to be excellent. I can confirm although I never read it in English (I'm not good enough, especially regarding cultural references).
If such an ID were to be broadly established, people start to demand it being used for everything. Age verification, any form of transaction, social media will require it to filter content... We already see some of this even today, Blogger for example.

At that point anonymity on the net becomes impractical. Honestly, even with government services getting easier to access, this is mostly not worth it.
Hmm - I do wonder if for very particular things in physics their heyday has come and gone? Were there more ridiculously talented inviduals deeply steeped in classical mechanics and discussing amongst themselves in the past? I feel modern physicists move onto high-energy phyics or low-energy physics research pretty early in their careers...

New Open Benchmarks for Feature Stores Released by Feature Store for ML
I would suggest that class distinction in Britain is tautological in nature, that British elites don't want to be elite so much as they cannot easily get used to the norms of any other class. One's class is too deeply embedded to feel truly comfortable in another class. I think it's mutual, too: a small number of those from lower classes attempt to imitate the elite (with varying degrees of success), but I think the majority wouldn't want to move into a different class if they could.

This is my purely personal perspective, and I think it puts me into the camp of ascribing class behaviour to Pierre Bourdieu's 'misrecognition' theory as described in the paper. Perhaps part of the effect is that (some) mannerisms and behaviours of the upper classes in Britain are simply more useful to those in positions of power. This then cements the notion of these classes as befitting social institutions - the social error is ascribing the virtue of the institution back to its leaders, who may well not be any more virtuous than the average across classes.
Also the elephant in the headline - facilitating mass air travel is of course facilitating the climate catastrophe. Watching megaorps debate about the market rules of how to optimize this harmful activity is its own special kind of grotesque.
True, but I think the learning methods are similar enough to how we learn for the most part and the theory that people are products of their environments really does hold true (although humans can constantly adjust and overcome biases etc if they are willing to).

Ironing out is definitely the part where they're tweaking the model after the fact, but I wonder if we don't still need to separate language from culture.

It could help really, since we want a model that can speak a language, then apply a local culture on top. There's already been all sorts of issues arise with the current way of doing it, the Internet is very America/English centric and therefore most models are the same.

On the other hand, if you want full and complete rigor that means formalizing things in a computer-based proof checker. Now, that can often reveal ways to refactor the argument into a cleaner, more elegant, more intuitive proof, which is why full formalizations are often regarded as publishable work - but the other side of it is that dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's does take a whole lot of effort since some published proofs are not nearly as clear as they're supposed to be.

I don't think that's accurate (someone please correct me...)

GGML use of Metal API means it runs on the M1/2/3 GPU and not the neural engine

The books were based on a roleplaying campaign. The start of the TV series works very well if you see the main characters as PCs in an RPG campaign. There's even the guy who drops out after a few sessions.

I haven't gotten around to reading the books yet, but I love the TV show, and was immediately immersed into the setting. The struggles of the Belters, the tension between Earth and Mars, different politicians on Earth jockeying for position, and our heroes in the middle of it all.

I think the world building is absolutely great. Better than most. But if it doesn't click for you, I have no idea. It's fine to enjoy something else instead.

One issue with the first season: it doesn't wrap up its story. That story arc, from the first book, doesn't end until halfway through season 2. SyFy did mix up some things to introduce some characters a bit earlier than happens in the books. They'll become more relevant later. Season 1 is primarily about Holden's crew and Miller. The people on Earth and Mars will become more important starting in the second half of season 2.

- the iOSification of the desktop OS

Yes, that includes the incredibly shitty new preferences app. Compare what they did with the design guidelines they used to have: https://marioaguzman.github.io/design/layoutguidelines/

- Forcing shitty mobile-first Catalyst and SwiftUI apps

Prime example... Well, all of Apple's recent first-party apps: from Messages to Home to Books to...

- Hiding and removing useful functionality for the sake of "clean interface"

- The insane amount of notifications by default, and the gazillion ways to deliver them

- Shitty support of external displays

- Bloated, unstable developer tools that get worse every year

- Superfluous half-baked "solutions" like Stage Manager. Also, mobile-first

- Superfluous half-baked untested abominations like language switchers, or Caps Lock indicator

A billion other things large and small.
That's exactly what I'm saying, yes.
Have you tested how good the random numbers are?

I think they should be good, if the interval between clicks is much larger than the interval for the counter, but I may be missing something. Also, some source emit two particles and I don't know if there are interesting cascades of decompositions.

If two consecutive clicks are close enought, I expect an uneven distribution on increasing secuances like 13478AC023489BC...

Also, for very high click rates I expect missing double clicks.

Yeah, LLVM is here to stay for Zig. The plan is to have a custom backend for fast Debug builds for use during development, while emitting LLVM bitcode for release builds that can then be fed to LLVM.

Not linking to LLVM would also make the barrier to entry on contributing to Zig itself lower, because now you can just compile Zig with Zig, and not worry about other dependencies.

I don't think it's that at all. The real cause is just some entirely institutionalised academics wrote the textbooks and everyone else is copying it rote as if it's the way of doing everything because that's all they know.

You need people from outside the echo chamber. I found The Open University to be a considerably better education provider on that basis than the red brick I attended quite frankly. The material and tuition is far far far better.

Incidentally your point in Khan Academy is spot on. That's basically OU but the material is miles better and it actually leads to a qualification.

I'd suspect PS/2 compatibility problems, or "old machine" problems like dust in the empty socket that no longer makes contact when the socket has been filled with the FPU chip.

PS/2 systems weren't fully "PC compatible", there was lots of stuff they would have trouble with. They had different port ranges and the BIOS had some infelicities as i recall.

I didn't mean to say videos are better - just as far as I can tell that's where the most creative new teaching techniques are on display. I'd definitely prefer they were in the written word. Especially if they were an open collaborative effort. Books are great for flipping back and forth with. You have an "ah-ha" moment and skip back several pages and reread something you misunderstood on a first read-through. It's somehow clunky and takes you out of the flow when you do it in a video.

Critically, you can read/listen to something and come away with the false impression you understand it. Sitting down and doing problem is .. not always fun.. but can be critical for the concepts to sink in. I think this is the main point of what you're saying

Great article, and very interesting work.

I'm surely in the minority, but I oddly find myself enjoying the hand-drawn "shaky scribble" versions more than the "sleek vector graphic." I'm sure even my preference would be context dependent though, so even in my case it's a cool feature. But in a world of artificial perfection, there's something innately attractive in a genuine hand-drawn production.
But is not a “dilution of elitism” (which happened, differently, also in 1900-1920, as noted in the article), not inherently a “societal shift in it”?

It's worse than that. I remember that when I was doing physics aged 14/15/16, they weren't allowed to assume that we were taking the maths course that included calculus, so while you could see these repeating patterns crop up (half-thing-squared, you say? How peculiar) they were effectively prevented from taking the time to explain it properly. It would have made things so much simpler.
MacOS has become extremely buggy. Just last week I had to factory reset (!!!) my Macbook, losing all data on it, because Apple's update caused some system corruption. Next year, once a good laptop with a Qualcomm Elite X or Meteor Lake CPU will be released (they should have much better thermals and power consumption than current processors), I will migrate away from Apple and I already replaced all my other devices with non-apple products.
