This is one of the key problems of working across teams, and its impact is amplified by a culture that says you should turn everything into a cross-team project that you possibly can. The whole company grinds to a near halt on these sorts of blockages.
It wasn’t my intention to give a snarky correction; I just wanted to emphasise that most of what mathematicians call mathematics has very little to do with numbers (as we would usually understand them). Talking about ‘word problems’ and ‘big numbers’ gives the wrong idea about what current LLMs struggle with. Even if they do struggle with these, it is still not sufficient when it gains the ability to be able to say that it can now do mathematics.
From my personal experiences, yes because they were boys clubs. But not because they were men, because they weren’t pc or driven by diversity. It would be great if the “boys club” was 50% women, as long as it wasn’t like a modern Ubisoft dev team that looks like an HRs wet dream. The end result are sterile boring games that aren’t funny or interesting.

You know, I hadn't actually considered mentioning it. Another commenter brought it up, too. It's so second nature I forgot about it entirely.

We have Spotify family subscription, always listening one of us' playlist at the dinner table and almost all of it created before 2000, and most before 1990. I'm talking about one 16yo, one 11 yo and two adults.

Recently, 16yo started his A levels here in London. The whole class created a playlist with their fav songs from all genres, 70+ teenagers. Hardly 10% of it is post 2000. Kids' family backgrounds are as diverse as it gets.
IC leadership positions are earned by leading cross-team projects, so the senior engineers who want them (and the managers who want to grow IC leaders) are encouraged to turn everything into one.
Honestly, it's the community that brought me to learn Flutter as my first development framework. I tried learning React, React Native, Kotlin, etc. after asking around (even here), but often I got crickets or the snide remark that I shouldn't be developing on that framework. But Flutter? Nah, beginners welcome! Hixie and Sneath would personally reply to queries on reddit, and the community thrives on sharing open source code for all their cool projects. It's a pity that Flutter may not win the development wars, but it definitely has won way too many developers' hearts.

>Many target genes, upstream regulators and signalling pathways involved in the PFC response in our study could be linked to dendritic remodelling and spine atrophy, a well-described effect of chronic stress on the PFC. Based on the IPA pathway and upstream regulator analysis, glutamatergic and calcium signalling, as well as Htt and Bdnf-centred networks stood out as the most significantly involved. Indeed, repeated stress is known to cause suppressed glutamate receptor expression and signalling in the PFC, which is thought to be linked to dendritic atrophy (Yuen et al., 2012). Many recent studies have explored the antidepressant potential of ketamine in chronic stress animal models of depression, strengthening the glutamatergic theory of depression (Zhu et al., 2015; Sun, 2016). In addition, disruption of glutamatergic signalling has been previously linked to hyperactivity (Procaccini et al., 2011).

The animals in the study, as expected, showed depression-associated and hyperactivity behaviors. This study wasn't looking at any specific thing in a fine-grained sense, let alone trying to establish causation. But "no link" seems like quite a stretch.

Yes but in this case it's silly because Spotify licenses music from artists and record labels under specific contract terms. Making it illegal to execute that contract in country A while being bound by that contract in country B was never going to turn out well.

For this law specifically it's a shitshow because they have their current math for the rest of the world which consumes 70% of their revenue and this law simply says yes and pay more. They can't rebalance the money to comply with the law because they would immediately get sued by record labels and so it would have to cut into the 30% which is just pure loss for them.

When you write a law that guarantees you'll lose money in an entire country with no way out you're kinda backed into a wall. Small artists should get paid more but this change can't come like this because there's nothing for Spotify to actually do in response to the law.
AI chip outfit Graphcore's sales to China hit by US export rules
But you don't own the data as in you can play in different devices, the streaming service has to exist where you want the music and it has to have constant internet access. Before you could load the CD in the car and run in roads that are in no-coverage area. Also you pay for the internet access.
> "They put all the streams in one pool and then split from there. Popular artists get almost all of it."

Like they should, mostly because they drive Spotify subscriptions. It's fair because there is a strong correlation between popularity and work, coupled with talent.

> When you spend $10 or whatever on streaming, you'd expect $7 to be split between the artists you listen to, but it's not.

Even if they'd distribute your subscription to your favorite artists, the total revenue for those artists and their share would still be mostly the same. Only in some degenerate scenarios, where you listen to only one obscure artist that nobody listens to, would those numbers be any different, and not by much.

> This is the way it is because big artists have big name labels.

Economies of scale probably apply. Like they should. ;-)

Talented artists can often sign with big labels. And isn't it wonderful that in 2023 you can publish your work, on Spotify and elsewhere, without having to sign with a big label?
1. Originally, what was the purpose of having it be a non-profit?

* A legal structure for the joint effort of some tycoons, because they need a structure?

* Tax advantages for the donors?

* Attract some top talent, which happened to be idealistic?

* Some PR shield they thought they might need?

* Genuine interest in the non-profit's charter?

2. Whatever the original purpose of there being a non-profit, what percentage of the current people there are aligned with that? (Rather than preferring being at a for-profit?)

3. With the company higher-profile now, with huge monetary valuation, and a national security/dominance asset, and much of the value committed to MS... who actually wants there to be a non-profit? (Only a handful of idealists, maybe a few structure officials, and maybe MS?)

Alternatively, he watches youtube videos about math, and if you’re a young math geek what’s cooler than “here’s a type of number they won’t teach you until the really advanced classes”

Not to dismiss this kid at all, I love that there are channels like 3Blue1Brown to share math to people in a way that really connects with them and builds intuition.

When I was a student you basically just had your math teacher and textbooks to learn from, which meant if you weren’t on the same page as them you’d get left behind. If you went to the library, most math books assume you’re familiar with the language of mathematics, so it can be tough to learn for that alone. I bet a lot of innumeracy is due to that style of teaching, often “I just don’t get math” is “I missed learning this connection and the class just moved on”.
I wrote a Game Boy emulator as a pandemic project, and the pandocs linked here are indispensable. It contains all the technical documentation you need while leaving the implementation up to you.

I meant more that when I started the job and only had to type one command to run a giant application locally, that tooling blew my mind. No config files, env vars, not even any apt-get or cloning 50 different repos. Just boq run

Yeah it is definitely a lot of waiting. I try to work around that by having a lot of small CLs going at once. But even when I do have to wait it really only helps make this job more of a breath of fresh air, as it builds natural breaks into the work.
It uses PixiJS (https://pixijs.com/) for the 2D rendering and GSAP3 (https://gsap.com/) for the animation. The <traffic-simulation /> blocks are custom HTMl elements (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_compone...) which I use to encapsulate the logic.

I've been thinking about creating a separate repo to house the source code of posts I've finished so people can see it. I don't like all the bundling and minification but sadly it serves a very real purpose to the end user experience (faster load speeds on slow connections).

Until then feel free to email me (you'll find my address at the bottom of my site) and I'd be happy to share a zip of this post with you.
> I'm sorry noone wants to listen to your garage band anymore

That's exactly the problem. People _are_ still listening to local bands, they're just not paying them to do so.
For me, absolutely not. I'd rather go back to listening to the radio and not being able to decide what's playing. I currently buy two to three albums a year on Bandcamp or Amazon, the rest is YouTube.
> …interoperability isn’t the issue.

I may be missing something, but every example I saw is about interoperability. It’s just that most of the failures are artificially created by the device manufacturers.

We don’t need more regulation. We need people to be informed that they have options which aren’t dependent on proprietary software and services run by scumbag companies.

I really hate it when people try to use government regulation to twist the arm of business for these types of "fair" deals.

More than 1TB a month. Just downloading one game from Steam can easily be more than 100GB these days. Downloading ML weights churns through gigabytes easily, as does downloading or streaming 4K movies.

What's the point of having gigabit download speed if you have to constantly worry about using up your cap? And paying an extra £5 for every 250GB extra seems like some arbitrary punishment for power users.

They don't pay for infrastructure based on bytes transferred so why should I as a customer pay this random made up number?

I actually find that while the headlines and the tweets sound quite alarming, they are very much in contrast with what Altman and others have to say in video/audio interviews and the calm manner in which they talk about the future. They also seem to overhype the technology in writing but in person speak noticeably more modestly about the state of the art (and even the future). [0] But that’s just my impression. I’ve seen others say they find him disingenuous and manipulative. Maybe I’m not such a good judge of character.

I wish I could find it again but I can’t, but there was a fascinating applet kind of thing that showed even with perfectly equal odds starting out after it runs for a while you see some of the bars start accumulating wealth and it does not end up evenly distributed. It’s actually quite skewed at the end with a top class that accumulated most of the wealth. It taught me a lot about the rich and how they got there and how much I should listen to their advice. Now I’m not saying the rich don’t make smart moves, because some certainly do, but even in a completely equal world we would still have some people that didn’t do anything at all except be lucky get to that tier. I do think there are things you can massively do to increase your odds such as saving, investing intelligently using compound interest, not buying crap you don’t need, not get divorced, invest in your health, work hard, etc.
I have no experience of Blazor, but the architecture of Blazor server is exactly what Phoenix LiveView (Elixir) does, and that works extremely well.

Unless your interactivity is at the level of Gmail or Google Docs, or you really care about designing for very high latency flakey connections then LiveView is great and works very reliably with a good user experience. Even on a phone with a cellular connection going through tunnels it's actually better than a lot of JS apps because it handles the reconnection (and visualisation) much more cleanly than most JS apps.

> If my 7$ is thrown in a global pool and split by global stream counts this artist gets almost nothing.

Not by definition. If you generate more streams this month than the average user, your streams are a larger fraction of the stream counts than your 7$ is of the revenue pool, and this artist will get paid more than if he only got your 7$.

Splitting the revenue per-user instead of per-stream can certainly make a huge difference, but switching to per-user instead of per-stream benefits artists with listeners that generate a below-average amount of streams per month, regardless of their absolute stream numbers.

Better artist pay means paying $60 for a vinyl LP at a merch booth, or $50 for a T-shirt.

Good luck having crisp font rendering without manual hinting! It's all just a blur since antialiasing was introduced.
