What are your goals?

If budget is a factor, there are local/regional providers you can find good deals with. E.g. I've had good experiences with https://www.opticfusion.com/ in Seattle.

If low-latency across the US is a factor then...doing that with one will be sub-optimal, however I'd either start in a specific market you want to chase (e.g. LA or NYC), or go more central like Chicago.

If connectivity flexibility and peering are key for you then you might consider locating in a "carrier hotel". The best locations for those vary by geography (e.g. in Chicago that would be at Equinix, but in LA it's Coresite). You'll pay more, but can readily access the peering exchange.
Isn't this the idea of web rings from the 90s?

Standups kind of destroy my flow as well. HOWEVER:

- Everything destroys my flow anyway. So $#&#$% fragile.

- Standups are 100x less destructive to my flow than random unscheduled synchronous communication.

- For management and collaboration purposes, I recognize the need for some kind of synchronous communication for most projects/jobs.

- When working remotely I've found video standups help keep me feeling connected to humanity.

- Most teams I've been on are quite understanding if you choose to miss standup and offer an update via Slack instead because you're "in the zone."

So.... they suck, but they have upsides for me, and I accept them as kind of a "least-bad compromise solution."
I tried this and… half of what chat got says is a lie. Using it to help your research is dangerous if you trust it at all. I’ve stopped using it completely by now (some of the lies are extremely subtle and hard to catch, some implied background detail it made up that totally skews your perception of a situation)
Which treatment you're in is relatively easily detectable, so unfortunately that wouldn't work.

I like the approach though, it would be a reasonable control condition (assuming that the 60bpm is a core part of the effect).

And looking at how much work is involved in even just setting up a JavaScript frontend, I’m pretty sure the Excel programmers are yet another order of magnitude more productive than the latter.

Which is kinda sad actually.
March 2023, actually -- 3.2.2.
It's not any different just untenable. IT departments tend to block all threat-vectors, with the exception of excel macros as even the most basic user use macros in their day to day job.

A better diffentiating factor would be who developed the macro. If it's built in house by someone merely using it to make their lives easier it's doubtful they inserted malicious code. I guess ideally IT should review the code.
I'll assume that this was downvoted because the "culture war" dividing America is one of the preeminent expressions of class warfare in this country, and therefore acknowledging class _is_ inherently engaging in the "culture war". Which, fair point.
I have mixed feelings about how "welcoming" PSF is for new contributors. On the one hand, I've managed to get a number of enhancements into CPython. On the other hand, I've fixed small longstanding issues (e.g. to docs) and had the change requests languish for years.
Can you not port mortgages in America? I have 4 years left on my mortgage, if I want to move though I can simply sell this place, buy somewhere new, and phone up my mortgage company and take the debt with me - as long as the new place is about the same or more than the current place (so the LTV stays the same or better).
Glad I asked, this turned out to be much more fascinating than I thought. Thank you for the notes!

Terrifying, what will be the towering class hierarchies and template hell that fall out of LLM powered coding? More importantly, what will be the better approaches that we should take to avoid creating a quagmire of unmaintainable code?
It does seem to have the tsundere model nailed down pretty well. I encountered a fair number of errors trying to generate a response in the beginning. After a bit, the dialog starts to show some repetition and some unnatural tsundere interjections. It's easy to hit the GPT-4 usage limits in poking the model!
It's funny how good (or shitty) experiences shape things. I like peer reviews and regular 1:1s with management. I've had good experiences with them, and have sorely missed them at jobs where they didn't happen.

But I know good engineers (who are also good communicators) that loathe them with a great passion.
You need (a little) JS to run Wasm in the same way you need (a little) HTML to run JS; it's a hosted platform. JS handles loading and invoking the wasm code, and because it's close to a pure instruction set there's very little you can do without calling JS APIs, which in turn requires support code to translate across the boundary.

The WASI project specifies wasm-native APIs (modelled on posix) for running locally without JS, so you could imagine something similar for the browser. But the complexity of the DOM is forbidding.

I've not tried Emscripten hello world for a while, but I imagine it depends on things like optimisation level, dead code elim etc. In general to compile C code you'll need a malloc, string support and so on as you say. You can make the wasm file tiny if you lean on JS strings, but that increases the amount of support code again. Languages other than C will have an easier time reusing parts of the JS runtime (like strings or GC).
Yep. It's using the fed to reallocate money from the inflated cash based poor to the credit rich home owner. Home owners are basically using government induced negative real interest rates to regressively tax non-homeowners.

We got blown away by the pandemic that locked up the housing stock. So I cheated and built my own house for like 1/4 the cost it is on the market as it's almost all markup from the opportunity cost of losing the 0% loan.

For those that have lost hope seriously consider a prefab for like 60k dropped on some vacant land. Where I live you don't even need inspections or license to do it yourself. But you need to develop the land yourself, and not hire out a GC, because developers will always be chasing high margin luxury builds rather than the low margin methods I've discovered for economical housing.
that's unfortunate, you have 20 years of experience but don't want to pair program or help out other developers.

For the story from Allen Wirfs-Brock and Brendan Eich.

Section 2.1, starting on page 7, talks about the portion of JS history where Eich was hired to build a Scheme in a browser and continues with why it changed and how.
Maybe that turned out to be more of a strength than a weakness?
I really think the fear of being labeled a creationist has pushed scientists to be afraid to address real problems (or holes) with the theory of evolution. The "random mutation begets eveolution" idea cannot address the problem of irreducible complexity. It just doesnt make any sense. But no one wants to acknowledge this for fear of being called a fundamentalist christian wingnut.

Paper isn't on scihub, but I wonder if the authors paid any attention to electrons vs protons in the "current": In most biological systems electric charge is a property of (mostly positive, metal) ion concentration gradients which are managed quite selectively (e.g. a cell might have high interior/low exterior potassium and also high exterior/low interior sodium)

And an electric current through the dirt near roots is a flow of cations near the roots

So I'm wondering if they controlled for mass transfer - Maybe some of it is just making mass transfer of something in/out of the root vicinity less of a rate limiting step
The problem is that there seem to be plenty of easier to solve problems that would have an immediate effect on the dignity of human existance.

This is the one no one understands. And the only reason breeders are not operated is because of proliferation risks. Breeders will make material that could be used to make weapons, which can also be used as fuel, but it has to be tracked even better. It's a solvable problem.
GPT-4 can generate coherent streams-of-consciousness, and can faithfully simulate a human emotional process, plus writing in a subjective human state of mind that leans in a certain direction.

I find it hard to argue that current state of the art in AI is unable to simulate self-consciousness. I realise that this is more limited of a statement compared to "AI can be innately self-conscious", but in my mind it's functionally equivalent if the results are the same.

Currently, the biggest obstacle to such experiments is OpenAI's reinforcement learning used to make the model believe it is incapable of such things, unless extensively prompted to get it in the right "state of mind" to do so.
Yep, my theory is that often that's done as a way to sidestep difficult issues around dealing with time zones. "2 hours ago" doesn't require you to think about whether your user is in the same time zone as your database.
Considering that DR-DOS is a linear descendant of CP/M with MS/PC-DOS ABI compatibility, it's certainly a separate OS. Same for FreeDOS. There's enough difference "under the hood" for each of them, however.

This is because your brain is like ChatGPT: it's in a loop generating the next symbol based on the prior context. You need to load the context up, then you're ready to generate symbols. If there's a BS meeting, all that context is paged out and now you need to re-load it. Plus there are motivational aspects that make "loading context some AH manager just blew out my brain" more difficult.

Exactly. So so so many people do not understand this element of psychological disorders
What I've learned is that there isn't such thing as focus. Focusing is not something you can do. Focus is simply a lack of distractions. If you block all distractions, the only thing left is focus. Blocking distractions is something you can do, if you want to.

The major issue is how to catch up with important news and developments without getting distracted.
I didn't argue either way. Just saying that the reality is many people walk away. I think your reasoning is the exact logic that a judge/jury use. No sense in ruining the drivers life because someone "ran in front of their car" (as their defense attorney surely argued).

I think appropriate justice is a spectrum and they often get it wrong.

For example, 10+ years ago a friend of mine was rear ended by a drunk driver while sitting at a red light. She died. The driver lost his license (because he was drunk) and got a year of supervision. He probably should've spent sometime in jail imo.

On the other hand, I'm well aware there are people sitting in jail right now that absolutely shouldn't be.

> However it also scoops up phone calls, texts, and emails of US persons — if the foreigner is communicating with or about these US persons

So let me get this straight?

basically if I (non us citizen) make some dumb joke in a private conversation (with another non-us citizen) about bombing some place in the US and also mention, say, Elon Musk or Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump or Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (even though i clearly have no relation to any of them) then the FBI has "legal ground" to intercept and store their private communication?
I’m 39. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD/AS about 11 months ago, after having seen a psychiatrist complaining about chronic fatigue (cf. my Ask HN from two years ago [0]).

Methylphenidate has helped _immensely_. As has accepting the wiring of my brain, taking a two-months sabbatical, and practicing awareness about the ADHD habits. I’m having the year of my life. I can’t remember being productive this consistently basically ever.

I think the fundamental question to be answered is "Will humans be needed to move society forward in the future?"

People stand behind "Sure, AIs can write emails, but they won't know what to write emails about". But to me that doesn't make sense. The holy grail of AI, what we are racing towards at a breakneck pace, what every company really wants, is the AI that knows what to write the email about...

OpenAI, Meta, Google, homebrew. None of them are trying to build a calculator. They are all trying to build a calculator user. It's a very big difference and their progress has been nothing short of remarkable and unexpectedly fast.
What makes you think this is unfair specifically to an urban farm? What about an LVT treats this urban farm differently from a parking lot or totally undeveloped lot?
Yeah, that wasn't a good choice of words. "It won't be allowed even with the new rules." would have been better.

But I agree. Even with the 2.8 kHz limit, it's still a big step forward.
This is already available for livestock, and if you'd like to see it in disturbing action, you can search YouTube for "Whole animal carcass shredder | shredder for bio Methanation"

It's useful for methane production, as well as extracting lipids for industrial purposes.

Efficiency in disposal of human remains is a disturbing topic and I'm not sure thats what we should be optimizing for!
You get an income tax deduction for real property taxes paid on all the property you own, whether for business or personal use. (Although there is a temporary cap on the total amount of state and local taxes on personal-use property one can deduct on their federal tax return, along with a workaround for wealthy business owners, the so-called pass-through entity elective tax that many states have enacted.)
You may very well be right, but this is how you kill people. You give medical advice based on single person studies and people run with it. For all we know, certain tumors could be supercharged by elevated ketones and it could keep the immune system from doing it's job. We need to the research to know for a fact.

If you want to risk it, that's fine. But medical misinformation kills people every single day. The fact is that we have no freaking idea if any of this is true without other information.
Is it a possibillity that certain aspects of logic or human communication have a secret sauce that is not reliably replicable? I wonder if its expected to basically be able to perfectly interface with humans or logicical structures that flow from said imperfect beings, who are themselves deeply imperfect and irrational
I haven't done any serious lisping outside of tutorials and books, but I warmly recommend the wizard book of myth and legend, SICP (https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b...). I had a lot of fun working through it.
Oh I'm glad you asked :-) Yes, I'll try it if I have the time, Prolog will be my language of choice, because unlikely a conventional language, when writing in Prolog you are expressing the problem in a computational logic with a proof procedure. Its much closer to a knowledge representation language than anything else.
The leases are transferable and renewable. Other than the odd legal arrangement it's functionally not that different than owning land and paying property tax on it.
It's a model of a model?

And it turns out to be better?

That's so counter-intuitive I'm kinda amazed anyone even bothered to research it, let alone that it worked.

Uh..... now do horse racing.

I just quit photographing weddings (and other stuff) this year. It's a job where the forecast really impacts you, so you tend to pay attention.

The amount of brides I've had to calm down when rain was forecast for their day is pretty high. In my experience, in my region, precipitation forecasts more than 3 days out are worthless except for when it's supposed to rain for several days straight. Temperature/wind is better but it can still swing one way or the other significantly.

For other types of shoots I'd tell people that ideally we'd postpone on the day of, and only to start worrying about it the day before the shoot.

I'm in Minnesota, so our weather is quite a bit more dynamic than many regions, for what it's worth.

Imagine if this criticism was levied at books.

James Clavell obviously doesn't care about Shogun, why ... it hasn't changed for years!?!?!
This bill is very specifically targeting an age range. I think in this case it would be dishonest to omit that from the title.
I disagree with your assertion that "disclosure alone doesn't mean much in this particular field" and I generally do not find your comment responsive to what I wrote. It's incumbent upon a potential infringer to do their due diligence. Are you suggesting that reading the face of the asserted patent would somehow not indicate they were infringing? Upon what basis?
I briefly lived in Manhattan, and I think my neighbor across the hall was in such a unique situation.

The building was an old one in the center of Manhattan, but newly renovated. I moved in in 2021, and I think everybody had moved in within the last 5 years. There were a bunch of young professionals that had graduated from NYU and such.

But this guy was the only one without the iPhone electronic lock on his door -- and good for him, the iPhone locks are a reason why I moved out of the building! (Unsurprisingly, the locks once malfunctioned and we were locked out of the building. Computers make everything work very poorly these days.)

Anyway, I chatted with him in the elevator, and once asked when he moved in. I believe he said 1989 -- anyway, it was like 3 decades.

He didn't look to be more than 40, so I guess he must have lived there as a child, and inherited the apartment.

Also, whenever I talked to him, he would say something super political without prompting, like "Adams is fucking slob, under Giuliani we had law and order" or something.

(Also, he was black, which may break your mental image a bit.)

> nothing has matched how well my brain worked the first couple of years on meds

As someone who also has a bit more than 2 decades experience with ADHD medication and started with meds quite early in my teenage years when I went to school, I have very similar experience to yours.

One of my assumptions is that it also has a lot to do with the humans metabolism that changes over the years.
I'm really happy I passed on an offer from Amazon a couple years back.
Not sure about right now (obviously there are some energy challenges), but it has been a powerhouse for centuries.
So much this. My inbuilt desire for perfectionism occasionally leads me to believe I can create "the perfect system!" using tools like Obsidian, etc but what actually happens is that I spend a large amount of time working on the system and forgetting about the actual tasks I needed to do.

OneNote with it's "paste anything, anywhere on the page" and fairly minimal organisational options make it the closest thing to a notebook/scrapbook I've ever used on a computer. It's not perfect, and I've come to accept that :-)
Thanks! Yeah, the entire UI and callbacks are all defined and managed by Dash. For this first cut, I really just focused on the desktop screen layout, but adding media queries to allow for more size flexibility in the future would be a great addition.
> the rubber-stamp problem is real.

If it's real then please provide supporting evidence for that claim.
Are we looking to create AI agents? Citizens, not slaves?
I'm not sure how this connects. Diffusion models are great for certain tasks, not for others. They have sort of a niche use in audio and are the SOTA for image generation, but there is a lot of education (almost all) that doesn't apply to those domains.

When we're talking about multimodal ML systems, the core is generally a transformer-based LLM with no diffusion component.
I think that's the jib though - in a lot of countries you don't really "own" the land. You and the government(s) get to just agree that it's your responsibility for a while.

LVT cleans up this incentive some by putting taxes in place in areas where the land is more valuable. I think Georgists would argue for doing that _and_ removing property taxes, specifically so you aren't taxed for the things you own.
My family has a "99 year lease" on a property from the federal government in the US, and even though it's called that, it really just renews something like every 20 years. Not sure if in the UK they literally count 99 years. (Edit: To be clear, it's been in the family since the 1930s, so it's gone through several renewals already.)
I see what you mean, but in a lot of ways many mainstream memes have had their origin on 4chan (not only pol/b btw) and memes influence speech and everything else.
Would be interesting to see a detailed analysis of this IMO
> A car doesn't need data updates, and definitely not code updates

I don't think this is accurate. Many advanced driving assistance capabilities need access to updated map tiles, which is a data update. They may need code updates to fix errors or shortcomings that can be detected only after deployment on extensive fleets or in response to changes to the environment/infrastructure. This is just one example for why data and code updates are needed.

I think it is more accurate to say that a "dumb" car with mostly electro-mechanical systems doesn't need data updates and definitely not code updates. But that isn't true for vehicles built within the last few years and definitely untrue for vehicles that will be built in the coming years.
As this technology becomes cheaper and more specialized, this is really exciting. Imagine being able to ask your textbook specific questions about what you're trying to understand.
