Just a Canadian here with a snarky idea...

Start an activism movement to draw big ugly expensive attention to this whole Social Security Number misuse situation.

My understanding is Americans can get new Social Security Numbers. There is a process for this, requiring at least evidence that their SSN is being used by someone.[1] So take a reasonable interpretation of "used by" ... leaked and/or stolen recently in Maine, now in nefarious hands. Sounds like they "know" a cybercriminal group has this data. Intent to use? Not a stretch, so run with it. Good enough for common sense and popular support.

Yes, maybe this doesn't stand up to courts or IRS judgement but it's not an unreasonable request and an application from every taxpayer in Maine might stir up useful attention or change. i.e. question the half-baked status quo of "let's use SSNs for everyone's key in every database"

The media might enjoy it and keep this issue alive a little longer before it's yet another massive event quickly forgotten.

Or wishful thinking on my part. Sorry, Maine, this sucks.

Why hashmaps? Python has named tuples.

Oh - this puts a lot of keys into one hashmap, not a ton of objects with the same keys. :)
This brings back memories. I used to use Protégé about 20 years ago. I am probably curious enough to see recent improvements to try it again.

Perhaps the recent interest in LLMs + Graphs is enough to increase interest in ontology development for semantic web and linked data applications?

The bar is pretty low for the peace prize. Potentially thinking about doing something not bad is good enough so sure why not.
The FAA won't issue a launch license until the environmental review of the last launch is complete, part of which is performed by the Fish & Wildlife Service.
Was just about to recommend this. I have to add that this is one amazing resource. The only thing missing is a lack of practical problem sets.

Sounds like they didn’t exactly know how to prioritize a task relative to other tasks. Which could be lack of clarity or being pulled in different directions by 3 different project managers/product owners/dotted lines etc or lastly their own manager would be adding 5 new high priority tasks a day

Anyone at the end of the days it’s literally their role to handle the dysfunction and/or understand the products
The US is quite an odd beast when it comes to ID, but as far as I understand, not having a government ID at all is mostly a problem with the lower socioeconomic classes. I don't think the people who put down $100 for a reservation will have quite the same problem.

Even if government ID is out of the question, asking for a credit card with the same name should also work as an alternative for those without a drivers' license or any other form of ID. I don't have any numbers of course, but I suspect there's not a lot of overlap between the groups of people who don't have credit cards or ID and the people who go to these expensive restaurants.

Many other countries (and private airlines) will match your ID with your boarding pass; however, airlines often allow you to change the details on the boarding pass up to the very end, sometimes for a small fee. When the scalpers' customers go through security, their boarding passes match their government ID. If airlines wouldn't allow you to change the name on your ticket the day before your flight, scalpers would probably lose a lot of business, at the cost of minor inconvenience to customers.
I guess they wanted to leave some for Harvard, Stanford, and Caltech engineers too.

The whole "Python is how science gets done" meme is one of the dumbest things we've allowed to be foisted on otherwise unaware/unsuspecting users (such as the kinds of academics who end up being the victims of the Python ecosystem shitshow). Who knows how many setbacks in science we've suffered, not to mention billions of dollars of productivity lost, sticking to such an unworthy programming system/language/environment. All because, like, colons and significant whitespace make programming so much easier to pick up when you compare it to making someone look at curly braces—which, as we all know is the hardest part of programming.

Oh, the answer to that is easy. If the person poured you a drink, brought food to your house, parked your car or took your order at a table and brought your food, base is 15%. If they were bad at it, lower, if they went above and beyond, more. Thems the rules, they've always been the rules, that's the social expectation. Anyone brow beating you into some other set of rules is trying to fleece you. They're saying "you're meek and you'll take it." The proper response to someone treating you like that is anger, not shame. You should feel absolutely no tinge of guilt.
I agree to an extent.

If you are in tech the Linux process shouldn’t be too bad.

Installing Arch is a good lesson in learning what you’re doing. Totally doable but you’re spoken to like an adult.

I think it’s pretty contrary to most expectations of tech today though.
No knowledgeable biotech VC invested in Theranos, because they were unable to pass due diligence. Theranos investors were unsophisticated family offices who didn't operate in the space, didn't know enough science or technology themselves, and didn't know how to run due diligence. Had Theranos attempted to open up enough to go public in those circumstances, they would have been exposed much more quickly.
This is some low performance team they must be managing. Interrupt-driven task allocation is inherently dysfunctional.

In a high performance team, it's more like managing a band. The manager is not the talent. You are Brian Epstein, not John Lennon. You enable the talent. You hire smart people, give them goals and the resources they need, then get the fuck out of their way. They don't take out the trash. You do it. Or hire a janitor, since it seems you value the task; that's someone who didn't need asking, because GC is already in their JD.

>First and Most Important Lesson: If You’re Here for the Money, You’re in the Wrong Place

It's worth reiterating this for college students, etc. considering going down the hardware path. While I got a tremendous amount more intellectual satisfaction by going for an electrical engineering degree instead of a CS or even CompEng one, that was because I realized CS was the kind of thing I would end up in anyway and would gladly study on my own terms. Numerical methods in differential equations, not so much.

If you do decide to do EE in 2023, I strongly recommend you break the mold of sparkies being atrocious coders. The skills are natural complements, even if for some reason most people like to pretend otherwise. But one is much more lucrative on average.
I was halfway through reading this trying to figure out if I wanted to give up my existing code ligatures, but then I hit the code ligatures section, and now I'm hooked
Does it sync tracks that you Love in Apple Music? I have liked Apple Music a lot, except for one major thing when I realized that there is no way to view tracks that I have marked with Love, and I'm trying to find a way to get that information out.
This is a great series of questions and it isn't our goal to prove you otherwise!

We work with customers interested in training models who run their own ablations, including batch size and learning rates.

Based on that, we demonstrate workloads that we think will be interesting to potential customers! Absolutely agreed that this workload has a larger batch size than the public literature suggests.
The algorithms to calculate all of the digits use o(n) memory. This uses o(1). It's always nifty when you can trade time for memory like that.
(I am a musician) I think you’re missing the point. I already pay a publishing fee to my distributor.
Thank you Jesus.

At some moment, my Windows 11 started to launch 2 instances of OneDrive for some reason, I have to close one of it every time the machine reboots (likely weekly due to OS updates) and it was annoying already having have to close it but it was about to make me mad for asking why I have to quit it... Windows, what a joke. Only keeping it to play games, never for work.
Not sure about this. For the Koreans (KEPCO) selling (even at a loss) their most recent nuclear plant (at Barakah) was vital because the Korean government then paused nuclear in Korea. Some shortcuts may have been useful ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korean_nuclear_scandal ), and "various technical, organizational and management issues" were found ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barakah_nuclear_power_plant ).
That's impressive, but not as impressive as this: https://twitter.com/InternetH0F/status/1721641836404408536

At its highest point it wouldn't even be $50 for 8GB LPDDR. At its lowest point it would be close to $20. You can add a maximum of $5 for testing and packaging within SoC.
I love your description of undoing code execution, modifying the code and continuing. I think too often these days because of the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing well, the debugger and the compiler and even the linker are different projects, making it unnecessarily complicated to combine these tools other than passing blobs of output into another tool's input. We should aim higher.
I’m a big fan of Crooks and thermodynamic computing in general, but I’d like to see a plot comparing against traditional methods in terms of real seconds. I don’t expect them to beat GPUs given how mature GPUs are but the big promise is that these methods can converge to a decent result faster than traditional algorithms. I’d like to see some empirical result showing that promise.

As a caveat it’s pretty late so I only skimmed it but I’ll check it out in detail tomorrow
I can confirm that writing a terminal is fun, for the reasons mentioned in the article: it’s easy to get “self-hosting”, but then the possibilities are endless :)

In my case, this was about creating the terminal for EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/). I wanted to mix text and graphics in the same console, so I had to ditch Xterm.js and create my own thing. It was really exciting to see graphics rendering mix with text “just fine” when I was able to render the first line.
So in other words, bug in Zig library causes linear execution time on something that isn't supposed to be linear.

The worst part is the social security number is not supposed to be secret. Really it should be no more secret or effective than your name(which it represents). But some how it is treated as a password, a magical key that opens doors.

Yeah, the situation sucks.

I honestly fail to see why it’s wrong for Spotify to adjust their commission structure to slightly favor more successful artists just because you have paid a third-party multi-channel distributor. Ask your distributor to renegotiate (over $3)?
Be careful when looking at memory pressure and how much it is using. For the same kinds of things I do, it scales well between 128GB of ram to 32 and even 16 GB of ram. If you are using a 32 GB machine and seeing it has high memory pressure or used up most of the memory, it does not necessarily mean it won’t work well on an 8 GB machine.

To know if 8GB is enough, you often need to just try it and see. So that’s why I don’t want to put myself in that situation (that I’m running out of memory and the only option is to upgrade an entire machine.)

(It is because there’s many things aggressively using more memory to make things faster or more responsive by cache things. But those can be released under high memory pressure without much apparent performance loss. That makes use the memory more opportunistically but making it hard to gauge how much really is needed.)
New York state requires you to present the physical card itself it to get a driver’s license. I had to have my parents get it out of their safe deposit box and mail it to me when I moved here. It’s also really dumb because there have been dozens of different card designs over the years, so the DMV clerk has no real way of authenticating it beyond putting the number into the computer.
I can’t wait for the time when Starship is proven and launching frequently - though there is a lot to be said about the excitement of right now, when it hasn’t yet had a successful launch.

Really got my fingers crossed for a true rapid drop in cost to launch mass to orbit.
Neat hack related to that. My wife wanted to take her girls weekend friends to what is currently one of the most difficult reservations to get in the US. I had free time during the window when reservations opened up so booked it. Then realized the name on the reservation was mine. Resy lets you change the name on the account to anything and it carries over to the existing reservations. I changed the name on my account to hers and they had a great time.

Trouble is, I keep forgetting to change it back so now we never know what name a reservation will be under.

To the extent that business models are patentable, maybe so? We're 25+ years into online travel, and nobody has implemented it. Maybe it's one of those things that looks simple but isn't?

For technical difficulty, it's certainly no less difficult than storing credit card details for reuse, and that passed muster at the PTO.

All that said, I am excited to see what's (hopefully?) coming. A travel site should be able to intuit what kind of trip I'm planning, or ask me if it's not obvious. If I do a search for a city that I fly to every other week, perhaps it's okay to just go ahead and sort to the top the same flights and hotel I used last time. If the flight is in the summer and to a popular vacation area, perhaps guess that my family will also be traveling.

These things have all been technically possible for decades, but we don't see them in the wild. Maybe they are less obvious or more difficult than they appear from the outside (I have never built a travel agent).
What's your winning strategy?
This way of estimating the real total cost isn't realistic, in such a (military) context accounting is difficult. In France the supreme court of audit (Cour des comptes) simply dropped the ball on it and used ballpark figures.

The real total cost of exploitation of a marine (think: cooling) military (think: many hands available, and a quite specific way to manage dangerous equipment) reactor is also very difficult to establish.
My friends actually had a startup that did exactly this and had pretty great initial success.

Restaurants could pick how much they charged for reservations, whether that cost could be applied to a portion of the bill, or whether it was a straight up auction for spots.

They thought there would be pushback from customers, but the customer feedback was excellent.

The friction mostly came from the restaurants. They either had antiquated reservation systems (many on pen and paper) and didn't like the idea of letting software control their table planning (since free reservations could be cancelled on the spot on the whim by the serving staff but cancelling a paid slot really irked everyone). Or poor accounting practices that made it really hard for them to accept that a customer already prepaid $500 for a meal in another system that'll all be bundled in a big check later. Or that they couldn't be sketchy about customer tips if it's being tracked.

It was also difficult to scale the business quickly because every restaurant had to be trained and onboarded individually, and every restaurant had an unicorn of an operation that the software had to be able to handle.

“My work has an excellent and free cafeteria. I just eat there and stuff my pockets with things for the company bus ride to my apartment in the hive my company developed.”

“I’m kind of creeped out by restaurants because of the whole power dynamics of someone there to ‘serve’ me. And on top of that they want to know all kinds of stuff about what I want to eat. I think they are collecting all that information and then targeting me with advertising.”
I believe my favorite drink is still secure. Possibly my favorite movie, but that's too easy to guess. My elementary school mascot has changed over the years, so that might be safe too.
In theory it would make sense that fertility falls a bit with lower childhood mortality, but your explanation doesn't explain the data that lower childhood mortality is associated with fewer surviving children.
Like you, I'm similarly situated -- and I'll probably take a few months (to a year) break from following this stuff too closely (e.g. trying to get these running locally on my own). I have a suspicion that things will be a bit more lightweight and/or optimized by then, and it'll be way more tractable+economical to play with and selfhost many of these models.
It's not like I need to record or remember all studies I've read; I put an effort at remembering the conclusions, and some of the rationale, but here's one article for you: [0]

There's a lower and a upper limit for any health intervention. Too little, or too much of the good thing could be equally detrimental. This literally applies to anything - water, minerals, vitamins, food, sleep duration. HIIT has benefits without doubt, so does sprinting and moderate-distance running, but beyond that, it's just a terrible way to spend the limited seconds of your life!

Also, we have cartilage, which, as far as I know, cannot be regenerated. There are some stem cell and microneedle approaches, but nothing proven to be working yet.

In addition, you need to consume more carbs for distance running, and that definitely leads to accelerated aging.

Which species live longer - the cheetah or the turtle? Speeding up metabolism means reaching faster the Heyflick limit.

If you look at the findings of the Longevity Project [1], those with the longest lifespan are scientists, not sports people, and definitely not lawyers or salespeople, which had the shortest.

I've been a team leader and other "management" positions and most of the time, my job is to shield the team from external issues to allow them to do our needed work. It's also part of my job to show, by example, dedication to our common goals, even if that means that I'm there during overnight deployments or other uncomfortable / less-than-ideal activities.

So I see myself as an equal that has a different role to the others in the team.

There are occasions when there's something that breaks through that shield and then when I do ask either an individual or the team, they understand that I'm asking them to do something that I couldn't avoid or do myself.
$3 is cheap. I just paid $3.75 each in Seattle and that was a discount compared to what some of the nicer/more touristy places in town wanted.

Who are these typographers, any examples? Considering:

• The design of Computer Modern was based on Monotype Modern 8A, which was made by a "real typographer" for Monotype corporation and used for decades in several textbooks by Addison-Wesley, including the first editions of TAOCP volumes 1–3 (and 2nd ed of vol 1).

• Knuth got close feedback on the font specimens at various steps of the process (and incorporated the suggestions) from many of the world's top font designers, in particular Hermann Zapf, Matthew Carter, Richard Southall, Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who between them are behind such typefaces as Palatino, Optima, Verdana, Georgia, and Lucida. (Zapf and Southall visited Knuth at Stanford and spent weeks working closely with him on the fonts.) I imagine they wouldn't have spent so much time on it if they thought it was "garbage".

• Of course, Computer Modern, and Monotype Modern before it, are (intentionally) boring "workhorse" fonts for textbooks and won't win any points for being stylish or novel or a work of typographic genius — but within that category, CM is AFAICT something close to the best possible rendering of the basic design, very far from "garbage". I'm curious who thinks otherwise. (I've read a few reviews from typographers and no one said the font was bad; one I remember praised the even "texture" of the page, though that was more a result of TeX's Knuth–Plass line-breaking rather than the font itself.)

• (There is also a well-known issue with CM's appearance on low-resolution devices like computer screens rather than print, and especially the "spindly" appearance of the vector font that usually ends up getting used today if one asks for Computer Modern—see my answer at https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/361722 and links in the comments on it—but those have nothing to do with Knuth's design; in fact Knuth personally still uses the Metafont-generated bitmap fonts unlike everyone else. And there are now "newcomputermodern" and "mlmodern" to remedy this.)
if you are talking about latent diffusion, No, the "particle" is in a hyper-dimensional space, like for example a 10k-dimensional space. We are not supposed to interpret the meaning of that vector.

and when that particle has moved to the right location, there is a decoder that converts it into an image. The decoder network knows how to interpret it.

It only fully plays on locally, under a unique (national) certification authority.

Historically each nation nuclear certification authority developed its own set of requirements.

There are links, and a push to federate efforts, however it remains true.

Case in point: the Olkiluoto-3 EPR reactor isn't exactly the same as Flamanville-3, the one being built in France, because the Finns wanted/needed various different thingies. Any of such requirement may have a significant impact on the design, and therefore impede the SMR approach.
