Yikes. So they're aiming for the chafing experience of working remote, but like, also when you're not remote.
If we subjected solar and wind to the same level of regulatory burden (as in: ensured that they would have the same level of expected harms/deaths/accidents as nuclear), they also would be completely unprofitable.

If we subjected all our generation to the same regulatory burden, nuclear would be profitable again because our power would be drastically more expensive.
I’d say $500k per year on AWS is kind of within a dead man’s zone where if you’re not expecting that spend to grow significantly and your infra is relatively simple, migrating off may actually make sense.

On the other hand maintaining $100K a year of spend on AWS is unlikely to be worth the effort of optimizing and maintaining $1M+ on AWS probably means the usage patterns are such that the cloud is cheaper and easier to maintain.
This and cloud gaming... it has the obvious real-economic efficiency gains of centralizing hardware (and software) for better overall utilization, easier procurement, development, management and integration albeit all dependent on users' internet connection for actual usage.

The move to cloud infrastructure in the business world sets a precedent. Increasingly I notice self-hosted things being labeled 'legacy' by influencer blogs (even if it makes no fundamental sense infrastructure or software architecture-wise).

Users want things to "just work", no matter the wider implications. Makes me real scared for personal computing :(
There are companies earning money by showing other companies how to reduce their AWS bill.
Nah even with bay area costs Americans get paid much much more than elsewhere. I could easily double my salary by moving from the UK to San Francisco. House prices are maybe double too, but since they are only a part of your outgoings, overall you come out waaaay ahead.

Of course then I would have to send my kids to schools with metal detectors and school shooting drills... It's not all about the money.
I haven’t explored this space in a while, but I have a couple of examples that could be helpful. A Clojure library of mine [0] has a decent README with some background reading on how to use operational transform.

I also reimplemented it in a surprisingly tiny amount of OCaml [1] which was a fun way to learn that language :)

This is a blog where you'll also find posts taking homeopathy seriously, and this post is based on a survey. Not a study. No scientific research is indicated here. It is not in any way scientifically rigorous. I don't know what you're on about about when you say goal posts or moving them. You said:

>> All available evidence does point to melatonin being an effective sleep aid.

What evidence?

>> "It is known to regulate sleep cycles"

Anecdotally, as best as you've demonstrated. This is not, as you claimed, "voluminous research and study done on melatonin."

If we're going with your silly metaphor, you moved the goal posts.

Anecdotes are not "voluminous research and study done on melatonin." A blog with no standards is not "voluminous research and study done on melatonin."

Show the "voluminous research and study done on melatonin" that you claimed exists or go away. I've made no claims to support. I've only asked you to back your own statements up.

Again, the burden of proof is on you.
There's a confusion here regarding "shipping". What I wanted to talk about was shipping a distro (integrated with DSP + profile) as a whole, not shipping software component. My original comment is clearly touching the integration b/w SW and HW, which common x86 distros normally don't enjoy, and shipping with DSP fully integrated (w/ zero friction UX) is very difficult for them. The situation may change if laptop vendors actively involve in the development of Linux distros, but, as of now, the bazaar model is the only answer, and it's painfully slow as noted by the release note here.

EDIT: Also, about recording IRS: both the mic and the room environment impact the response data. Using cheap mic in your room does introduce distortion.

However, I realized I was kinda making an assumption that IRS was being recorded for effects. If you're just flattening the response curve, they should work mostly fine. This can become an issue if it's used for effects (e.g. mimicking 2ch Dolby Atmos) because the distortion can be amplified by the environment.

Also, in the long term, using a standardized setup helps with maintaining the quality of IRS. You really want to be able to reproduce the setup, so that you can further improve the data. It's better than subjectively keep fiddling with EQ sliders.

It's not an engineering problem either.

The thing is though, a lot of heavy industry is built in the North to take advantage of the cheap power there. Shoring up the grid connections would increase the electricity rates in the northern region, due to competition from the South.

I've found that exercise helps. I try to jog and lift weights regularly, but usually I exercise for a few months and stop for a few months. When I don't exercise, I notice I'm a lot more tired and feel significantly colder than when I work out.

Also, if I don't eat enough food, I feel tired throughout the day as well. It makes me feel like I can't focus or think, but then I'm fine after I eat. Maybe it's because I'm skinny.
I'm not convinced of the critical business rationale. Your single data data center is much more likely to go down than a multi-AZ AWS deployment. The correct business rationale would be to go multi-cloud.
Dude, there is no way I'm going to get shrooms legalized by saying I want it for fun. It's too hard to get support for. It's much easier to place this fig leaf in front: look at these suffering people with mental illness; here's some evidence that it heals them; look at this grandma who has less pain; look at this grandpa who doesn't have seizures.

Marijuana legalization used the same strategy: medical first, then complete. The technique works. The other technique of "Oh yeah, I want it for fun so you should let me do it" has been tried for eons and got nowhere. You can come up with all the theory, but one technique worked and the other didn't, so I'm not interested in the theory.

Fake science it's going to be. The people who hate it don't have the ability to tell that it's fake.

You don't need to build your own datacenter unless your workload requires a datacenter's worth of hardware. Colocation is a feasible and popular option for handling all of the hands-on stuff you mention. Ship the racks to a colo center, they'll install them for you. Ship them replacement peripherals, and the operators will hot-swap them for you. If you need redundancy, that's just a matter of sending your hardware to multiple places instead of one. Slightly more involved, but it's hardly rocket science.
Actually cheap because it does the most
Fortunately there are companies like Deft, OVH, Hetzner, Equinix, etc that handle all of that for you for a flat fee and while achieving economies of scale.

Colocation is rarely worth it unless you have non-standard requirements. If you just need a general-purpose machine, any of the aforementioned providers will sort you out just fine.
Yep and hardware is only getting cheaper. Better to just buy more drives/chips when you need them.
> by cheap energy from fossil fuels.

Obviously the issue at hand is that use of those fossil fuels has led to a huge unpaid debt (negative externality) in the form of compounding climate change.

But even without that, the number of deaths attributed to air pollution is estimated at 7 million annually. Air pollution pretty much all comes from burning fossil fuels. So you aren't counting right.
I used to do this, but it started causing a lot of problems when I needed to talk to customer support, especially the surprisingly numerous companies which still store email addresses as an immutable record of account identity.
I'm 100% with you and all for those kinds of videos being labeled. I'm pretty nervous about the 2024 election with all of the capabilities we've got now.

That said, I feel like the norm anymore is for companies to go way overboard and that was where I was going with my comment. The usage you're talking about makes perfect sense I just expect they'll require way more.

Like look at how they've handled children. YouTube Kids already exists yet, for some reason, youtubers risk demonetization for showing blood or saying minor curse words to the point where it feels like we can't actually be adults on a platform that already has a counterpart specifically for children. Just not "advertiser friendly" but who's to say that advertisers won't decide that "An AI narrated informational video" is less advertiser friendly than a human narrated one?
We are drowning in Google's magnanimity
What? Yes it is. Your fat cells are turned into ATP via Beta-oxidation and used for cellular energy. The excess carbon from the processes is then exhaled as CO2 during normal respiration and the water is sweated or urinated.

When you lose about 3500 calories of energy via this process, you have burned a pound of fat.
Looks like we've hit full kleenex on terms for models, maybe.

I am very pro nuclear but I am also very pro stringent regulation around nuclear.

I don’t find the argument that nuclear reactors could be regulated as windmills super compelling, but that’s just me.
The expectation I think that everyone is currently operating under is that Spritely and Agoric will try to evolve into pretty directly speaking OCapN, and Cap'n Proto will ideally be able to communicate with OCapN via a bridge of some flavor, as Cap'n Proto is too widely established to shift its behavior much towards the direction Spritely and Agoric are going.

Unfortunately with Ian passing away, the Cap'n Proto side isn't seeing a ton of attention, though several involved parties are familiar with Cap'n Proto and reference it in discussions with regards to maintaining similarities and hopefully bridge-ability.
Yeah, and the comments on this thread seriously worry me. We have people arguing that it is good for society to satisfy lonely men with virtual porn and other people saying that this is great, scrappy product development and the author should go further/use other models not constrained by openAI's policies.

I have no insider knowledge here, but Google tried to go the high route of working with carriers for years before giving up on their intransigence.

I suspect that Google's RCS is proprietary as a blunt instrument to prevent carriers from trying to either (a) undermine e2ee in some weasely way or (b) have the ability to pick and choose the pieces of the implementation they want to support. You either get the whole thing, with e2ee that you don't control, or nothing.

Sadly the lesson from Google, Apple, and Whatsapp here appears to be "cooperating with telecom carriers is a fool's errand".

It took a reading a few thousand pages of ncbi.nlm.nih.gov papers over a number of years (I made it a habit just to try to crack this thing), this is one of those traditional 'fall through the cracks' kinds of things. My PCP admitted to me that she felt ashamed at not being able to help any further and not knowing what to do, and she's internal medicine.

I have reactions to nearly every food group out there, even things traditionally safe for many (minus the ultra safe things like rice, lamb, etc).

It's definitely not a digestion/absorption issue, in fact I have a reasonable belief that I have barrier permeability issues as things like taking GABA will result in respiratory depression + temporary oxygen starvation for a few seconds - half a minute or so (yay) followed by that emergency contraction of blood vessels that the body does when trying to get oxygen to organs. That's one good indicator of systemic barrier dysfunction, for example, as that is certainly not supposed to happen in healthy people since GABA is not supposed to cross the intestinal barrier (or the BBB for that matter) in healthy individuals (though I wonder if one tiny benefit is making GABA slightly more effective for me for anxiety over, say, the average person due to potentially-increased BBB permeability). Additionally, things like P-glycoprotein inhibitors (like piperine, etc) cause me to react much more strongly to food/environmental things.

Apples would contain, say, the most pyruvate and malic acid (though I react to apples pretty badly, sadly, I'll get arthritis-like symptoms (which makes typing and manipulating objects difficult, for example), though I take an OTC 5-LOX inhibitor nowadays that is actually surprisingly quite effective at preventing things like that from happening in accidental food exposures. Still not enough to have apples straight though, lol).

So it's things like that. Most of this is things like looking at the Krebs cycle, finding upstream things to targets that I want that seem to perform well (like oxaloacetate, which is sold at an outrageous price), and then putting them through the empirical test pipeline to see if they hold up.

Things like niacinamide for example I'm taking 1.5-2. grams a day which would be hard to get from food, pyruvate is also hard to get from food as well. I love the idea of food as medicine, but unfortunately it's mostly calories in (and thankfully I don't seem to react to multivitamins, thank God).

I've tried several thousands of dollars worth of supplements over the last several years trying to find combinations that work. This is most certainly harder than most of the machine learning problems that I work on, as the loss signal is not all that clear, really (unfortunately)!

I am glad to have found something that seems to have a positive impact, however!

> Fossil fuels reserves are going to collapse in the coming decades

Source? Quick internet searches seem to say we have more than 50 years left of coal, oil, and natural gas that we know we can extract. And that will expand as we find more and get better at extracting it.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/years-of-fossil-fuel-rese...

https://ourworldindata.org/fossil-fuels

To be clear: we do need to dramatically reduce our fossil fuel usage. Just saying that, so far as I can tell, we're not going to run out of anything in the next 30 years.
Obviously the non-recyclable solids would be counted separately, and considerable. The average American uses more than their weight in plastic every year, and that is about 80% not recycled.
> We need the energy now, though, not in 15+ years

In 2010, Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, opposed nuclear power because it would only come online "in 2021 or 2022".

> I doubt those materials would be admissible in court.

As long as legitimacy of those documents is confirmed in court, why would they be inadmissible? From my perspective on admissibility, I don’t see much of a difference between the whistleblower scenario and a random person walking on the street, noticing something that could be a crime evidence (e.g., a blood trail), reporting it to the relevant authorities, and then that blood trail being used as a piece of evidence in court.

What about the FBI most wanted list, where they promise monetary awards for tips that could lead to the person on the poster? Because if passerby’s just randomly encountering helpful info like that aren’t qualified for the awards, the bar becomes almost impossible to satisfy, unless you are directly involved with people you are providing info on (which eliminates a massive group of whistleblowers that are third-party witnesses)
Awesome! Reminds me of the Peter Gabriel video for Sledgehammer.
Did they also add their cost of dev, admin, etc. into the calculation? This could have a big impact as well.
90%+ of users don't know what a VM is and probably aren't even interested.
something like stack_trace::parent would be hard to do in a modern toolchain, since we now have people deploying code to environments like WebAssembly that prohibit stackwalking

In C#/.NET's case, even though stackwalking is available in the API, it is preferred to push the location info in from outside and there are mechanisms to automate it (CallerFilePath, etc)

They are specifically who I’m defining as flag-in-the-ground types.
Well I don’t get paid to hack, it’s a hobby and sometimes I’m and entrepreneur so I don’t have the same bias as thinking all devs should be making $500k+. I actually think of cost controls and how to build more with less, so kind of polar opposite motives.

Cheap is also a relative concept. I have a guy on full time that I pay $1500 a month. It’s more than twice than he’s ever made in his life and he’s an excellent dev. If I needed to, I could find 50 more like him. Sure if I was FAANG scale trying to hire 30,000 of these people it might get tough. But, I could probably create an entire training program and just apprentice people for less than they paid new grads out of 2-4 schools they normally hire from.
I don't think ANI is spoofable in practice. But that requires a toll-free number which costs money per minute.

To be fair, considering the pocket-calculator-grade performance you get from AWS (along with terrible IO performance compared to direct-attach NVME) I can totally understand they’d need 28 nodes to run something that would run on a handful of real, uncontended bare-metal hosts.

While I personally think nuclear is overregulated, my point wasn't even that you need to decrease regulation. I was just pointing that if current nuclear regulations demonstrate how safe we think our power generation should be, then wind and solar (and everything else) are under regulated, since they both kill more people/MWh generated than nuclear does.
Compared to prior work, it looks unbelievable. Is this just an armchair criticism or have you been paying any attention?
BERT from a year prior also makes the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#List but I think that's what the (2023) is supposed to represent: outside the few initial models from years ago >= 7B parameters is the typical expectation for the term (it actually lines up with that table extremely well).

At the same time, if you're off by less than an order of magnitude (where GPT-2 would fall if released today) I don't think anyone will be harping 7B. Gotta leave a bit of fuzzy interpretation for the real world as no single number is going to please everyone in all cases but some number in the ballpark is still useful to discuss.
