A million element square matrix is a lot of data. To process that in a second is much more bandwidth than a single socket can support, so you'll need many sockets too.
Well there's layers here.

You could easily snoop who is messaging whom, but it's very different than knowing what is being messaged. End to end encryption would protect the second. Carrying a second phone intuitively protects the first, but in reality does not.

It was trained not only to "sound good" aesthetically but also to solve a wide range of NLP tasks accurately. It not only "seems to" understand the prompt but it actually does have a mechanical understanding of it. With ~100 layers in the network it mechanically builds a model of very abstract concepts at the higher layers.

It has higher intelligence than humans by some metrics, but no consciousness.
Of course we don't have a clue.

But people will pull all kinds of crazy out of their ass to justify the climate-change hoax.
So the claim is that it's impossible because it's too expensive energy wise? Kind of an insane take, how would this be different than claiming renewables aren't a solution 50 years ago because they're too expensive? Things get cheaper over time, and we're only just starting to scale CC.

I would say we should invest way more in CC. we need to see alot more stuff like the AMC from Frontier, ideally from governments.

> A good chunk of the income tax system is designed to lower the cost of owning real estate. Foregoing that is no better than paying credit card interest

You typically pay 1.5x just in mortgage and interest. Most people have a maintenance emergency that costs 10k+ once every other year or so. HOA fees are no joke, neither is complying to their rules. Maybe you will get better tax returns and if you are really good at budgeting (unlike most) you can spread out your return to lessen this burden but you still will have at least 50% less regular cashflow for the duration of the mortgage (15-30 years!). That's what I mean by money making sense. If you have 50k+ in your savings and mortgage paymen+hoa will be at least less than half your monthly income you can afford it. In other words, if you can pay off the house in 5-7 years without living paycheck to paycheck and can withstand normal emergencies it is a good idea to own a house and much of it also depends on the interest. There are plenty of rent or buy calculators online that let you measure exactly this. For most people they say renting is better these days.

> You'll need to use a credit card to use Uber. Unless you're suggesting using debit cards for that which isn't a great idea.

If you are continuing your nomadic lifestyle, you might want to consider getting an iPad that can double as an external display via sidecar app. Of course, I am aware of the small size and crossing your budget. Or you might consider portable monitors.

FYI, Please be careful with LG monitors. Just an alphabet change in the model makes a huge difference. My friend saw an LG monitor and took down its model number. He missed that one the alphabet in the model was different (example 29ABC600-XYZ, but he got 29ABD600-XYZ - "D" instead of "C") and that made a huge difference.
I have found that git makes a lot more sense if you reverse the mental model of lineage. People think about a lineage going forward. But a more useful way to think is in terms of backward pointers.

A commit points to it's parent(s). Since a branch is just a commit ID, you can follow the parent links backwards to find the whole history of that branch.

So a "branch point" is just where two chains of parent links converge.

The special part are merge commits. Those have multiple parents, indicating that two histories fused into one.
You also need to make changes on the PPPoE server, which is hard because if a provider is running PPPoE in 2023, they probably don't care about doing things well (but maybe I'm just bitter about CenturyLink)

I have a browser based mtu test http://pmtud.enslaves.us/

Currently IPv4 only, requires a somewhat recent browser, and client to server testing is iffy, but if you start the test and get OK in the notes field for both directions, your MTU settings are probably fine (or something is doing proper mss clamping between your client and my server, my server is limited to 1500 MTU so problems with jumbograms can't be detected)
No, the HEAD ref points to whatever branch is "active", that's how the active branch is defined. Indeed `git checkout branchname` does nothing except make HEAD point to the commit that `refs/heads/branchname` points to.

The intuition jvns meant is the idea that a branch only constitutes the commits since the point of divergence, but every branch actually contains the full history up to the root of its tree, and `git log` of course shows that. (If you want to only show the commits specific to a branch, you can do `git log parent..branch`. Note also that two branches need not have any common history, it's perfectly possible for a git graph to be disconnected.)

In WWII the USA spent about 40% of GDP on the war effort. Direct air capture of all carbon emissions with current tech would only cost about 20% of GDP[1]. So if it were a big enough priority, we could be doing it now.

Sure reducing emissions and or developing better tech would make that much cheaper, but even the worst case scenario with current tech seems affordable if you take it seriously as an existential risk.

[1] my own rough calculation based on looking up the current market cost of the already commercially available carbon capture technologies, not considering challenges or economies of scale
This would be a welcomed change in the automotive sector. They already did this with steering where they went to an electric steering rack controlled by electric motors instead of a hydraulic system. It's been around for more that a decade and a half in millions of cars and proven to be reliable.

A big positive for an electric braking system would be no more brake dust. You wouldn't rely on brake pads and friction to stop a vehicle. Hope this catches on, would be great to see it implemented through out the entire industry.
I would say don’t worry about it and charge them to the full each time.

Electronics are consumable devices. When batteries degrade, you should replace the battery to give your device a couple extra years of life. I believe this is possible with most devices, especially phones and laptops.
Those revenue and cost of revenue figures blend together different things. Their contracts with music distributors (recordings) + statutory rates for music publishers (compositions) = ~70% of the revenue pool from advertisers and subscribers.

However, podcasts work differently, both on the revenue and cost side, and appears to be mixed in. Additionally, Spotify sells optional marketing programs (ads within Spotify, for example) which I assume are included in revenue. So it's hard to draw the right conclusion just from the summary numbers.

In my experience, no, it isn't any common. But it is somewhat common for people to ignore the obvious option and go for services anyway.
This is one of those things that sort of exposes our industry maturity versus other engineering that's been around longer. You would think by now that the various frameworks for remote calls would have standardized down to include the best practice retry patterns, with standard names, setting ranges, etc. But we mostly still roll our own for most languages/frameworks. And that's full of footguns around DNS caching, when/how to retry on certain failures (unauthorized, for example), and so on.

(Yes, there should also be the non-abstracted direct path for cases where you do want to roll your own).

Then how on earth was his home shower constructed?

It doesn't make any sense that it took the White House workmen five years to figure out how to replicate his home shower setup.

That’s not historically how it works in the US. If government comes to you and says, “hey, so we have the ability to regulate you, imprison you, etc. Now we can do that, or you can accept this payment to give us access to private records — you have a day to decide”

Most people call that blackmail, even if it is government.

Second, it’s still a search and seizure of your records. You made the call, AT&T was only the common carrier connecting you. Regardless, of whether or not they paid to conduct the search. Now the judiciary is pretty slanted to supporting law enforcement so it will take time to play out. Often the higher courts are more apt at deciding these issues (ie less bias)

That said, there’s a tendency in the US justice system to protect the system. So we will see how it shakes out in 5 years while this makes its way through

True and concerning. LibreSSL has been leading the pack in terms of security, but I wouldn't even call it bulletproof. These are very complicated codebases. I'd love to see OpenSSL adopt an approach of "useful features, tested well, and nothing else" but that's basically why LibreSSL was born after heartbleed. So I won't hold my breath.
The author considers the bug reporting to be a benefit, it's a contrast from this post last month "One game, by one man, on six platforms: The good, the bad and the ugly" [0].

> The Ugly

> Linux accounts for less than 1% of the total players, so from a business perspective, it is not worth it. And the platform has the highest percentage of players who run into platform-specific issues - the time used for customer support only makes the economy worse. Also, I don’t own a Steam Deck, so adding support is not always easy: Valve does not provide a SteamOS image to test. So Steam Deck-specific code (like controller support, starting the game in full-screen, making the UI bigger, etc) is not tested end-to-end. I’ve used HoloISO with limited success.

You're describing your bubble. In mine, young women rappers are being discovered in droves, previously on youtube and now tiktok. They don't have Death Row tier production quality, but by the time they make it to Spotify, they're putting out bangers.

It's little surprise that your nuclear family listens to such a narrow range of music. Growing up, I didn't listen to new music in the house either. We had classical, old country, ragtime, and big band -- nothing newer than 30 years ago. My parents thought everything else was noise.

Oh, and funny thing, I've recently discovered artists from the 90s that I never heard of back then. Music discovery is, in my experience, in a golden era. There's not only a huge amount of new music, but as old music makes it online, it's making it to my ears.
Protecting branches is indeed very important. I make errors all the time when screwing around. It helps enormously being restricted to just messing up one's feature branches. Many other changes can be done via the GUI with PRs and the various kind of controlled merge and rebase strategies they support, like Merge, Rebase + Merge, FF-only Merge, Squash merge, etc.

"The South was wealthy as fuck."

No, the average Southerner was fairly poor. The rich oligarchy was rich, but that is a tautology; the same situation applies in contemporary Gabon or Equatorial Guinea, two countries that are very clearly not wealthy as fuck.

"The South tried to replicate slavery with Jim Crow because the free and cheap labor was immensely profitable."

If it was immensely profitable, could you name me some big corporations that were built on the top of it? You can't. The South was the sick man of American economy. All the innovative businesses of the Gilded Age were built on free labor.

John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew Mellon, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Flagler, Henry Huttleston Rogers, J. P. Morgan, Leland Stanford, Meyer Guggenheim, Jacob Schiff, Charles Crocker, Cornelius Vanderbilt - show me a Southerner among them. The furthest one was born in Pennsylvania.

Do you know about which series or detail to look for in LG?

Those are not the only two options. For example if the distribution of interested candiates is already skewed towards one gender then forcing gender quotas means you need to hire inferior candiates even if both genders have the same distribution of capability.

That said, not only discounting that either gender could be better at certain jobs but refusing to talk to someone because you suspect that may be their opinion is beyond absurd and that kind of politicized gut-based and evidence-fearing thinking may be another reason why organizations that don't pay attention to gender politics are more capable than those that do.

But in either case, I think Reuters absolutely had someone on the inside to leak this. They have made mistakes in the past, sure, but they are also not a tabloid and they don't innovate.

To me, a sensible conclusion of this is simply that OpenAI is not ready or willing to discuss this. Stuff that are supposed to be kept internal but due to the emotional state over at OpenAI, things might have leaked, potentially even out of spite.

Why would you pose _this_ question if you are already biased against the answer? :)

But to answer your question:

1. to question your own bias. You might get an answer you didn't expect that actually helps you gain new insight.

2. to inform the candidate that good reasons are needed to keep their style if they want to work for you. "I prefer my own style because I'm used to it" creates single points of failure, while "I prefer this style because of X" improves code quality.
Spotify makes it very easy to donate to artists. I believe 100% of the donation goes to them or their label
I tried to pick a simple scenario to make it easy to see the faulty model, and assume that this version of Spotify has exactly two users and a catalog of exactly two artists.

The imbalance remains even if you scale it up. Artists that are listened to by users that listen to less than the average number of streams are underpaid in relation to the revenue they generate for Spotify.

Exactly. It'll break sometime (it's software). So when do you want it to break? And is the benefit of controlling/planning the timing of that breakage worth the cost of operating the software?

As always, it depends. Questions I'd ask:

* How critical is the software to your application's proper functioning?

* How big is the team?

* Who are your customers and what are customer expectations around your application's proper functioning?

* How often does the library change?

* What expectations does a service set around backwards compatibility? What commitments are made?

Well, derivative designs bring their own problems. Also a double edged sword. Making significant mods to a complex system is often even more difficult. There's a lot of analogy with software and computing. Take 737-Max for example. Obviously boeing royally screwed that up - but mainly because their business people underestimated the difficulty and tried to patch over it and take short cuts. That itself is a hard problem: a commercial company does eventually have to make a profit.

And yes, absolutely there are new greenfield designs. If you need a Cessna 170, you don't usually start from scratch. But one reason to start from scratch is that you are pushing the envelope even further because of new materials, new requirements, etc. So more problems.
